  Boys, how's it feel? Pressing? Usual? Now we're just the

• 0:47
  We're still the misfits. We are we are we are a wonderful group.
• 0:52
  I mean that we're amazing. But we've got the resident pH d doctor
• 0:57
  sheet. Hello, had gotten the choke show? Hey? You you have
• 1:03
  to see Sheep was actually happy there, did you guys? Hear that?
• 1:07
  You Well, just wait for his his pictures. Oh, we gotta go
• 1:11
  to the picture but add that show. I caught a picture of him smiling.
• 1:17
  That is I was punch drunk. You were not on Tuesday when you
• 1:23
  had cake, you were fine. I was trolling, Yeah, troll and
• 1:29
  trolling, tru Hold on, we have theks, Hello, key Ford community.
• 1:34
  Glad to be here to reminisce with these wonderful vault to her players.
• 1:41
  Yeah so there was a vault tour and a thing and blah blah blah blah.
• 1:44
  Sheep might have want to think, who cares? Anyways? Moving on
• 1:48
  the pledge man, all right, we'll get it. We're gonna get into
• 1:53
  it, but quick, gotta gotta get this out. Pledge Manager is live
• 2:00
  June third. You must vote for your home bases and have your duck name
• 2:06
  submissions in by that time. If you don't, it's nothing but x ray
• 2:13
  sucks decks for you, guys. Mean, that's what have bad. That's
• 2:16
  four days. If you're listening live by the time we edit, you will
• 2:21
  probably already be passed by four today. You are listening by the time my
• 2:23
  lazy ass posts this on Tuesday, it's too late. It's too late,
• 2:31
  all right? Another VT Madrid as Asthma Day is running this one as Midday
• 2:38
  Spain. Yep, all right, September twenty seventh through the twenty ninth.
• 2:43
  I'm not sure, what this fifty five euros? Yeah, they lowered the
• 2:47
  price just like Vietnam. Like that's awesome, Yeah, sixty bucks. So
• 2:52
  what you're telling me is US Americans are just kidding screwed. Now, Well,
• 2:55
  what's actually interesting, sheep? What did you find for pricing to get
• 3:00
  to Madrid from where we are in the Midwest? We could fly for as
• 3:07
  little as five fifty round trip what so. So it's pretty good to realize
• 3:15
  realize that the difference that it was actually cheaper to stay over in Spain,
• 3:22
  and Spain has high rated hotels right next to the venue and they're fifty US
• 3:28
  dollars a night, so it's cheaper to stay in the hotel. The actual
• 3:32
  event is cheaper, and with the cost here, it actually is cheaper to
• 3:38
  go to Madrid to play in the Vault Tour than it is to go ahead
• 3:40
  and fly to continent of the US. For me, it was it would
• 3:44
  be cheaper to go to Madrid than it would have been to go to San
• 3:46
  Antonio. Yes, dude's now that I know this, I am so disappointed.
• 3:53
  I know a little bit of Spanish, hot I don't know Spanish,
• 3:58
  and yet I will still go. Yeah, forge, she said, I
• 4:04
  need an excuse to go overseas, and I guess the Vault Tour was a
• 4:10
  good enough one that he convinced his wife that I don't know, are you
• 4:14
  whatever, doesn't matter. He's going to the Vault Tour in Madrid. I'm
• 4:17
  telling you, if I could, if I was not going ahead, if
• 4:19
  this was not the beginning of school for next year, and I had the
• 4:24
  ability to go, I think this is a phenomenal opportunity. I don't even
• 4:27
  care about the Vaulteur. I want to see all my friends internationally, but
• 4:30
  I would just love to spend time over my story gets better and it's the
• 4:35
  absolute opposite of a Wookie story. So September twenty ninth, which is the
• 4:42
  Vault Tour, right, is my son's birthday. I was saying, is
• 4:46
  that your kid's birthday is my kid's birthday? And where am I going to
• 4:49
  be? Sore? Is he going to be in school where he belongs?
• 4:56
  Nice in Wookie? Yeah? Do you when ahead and kind of said I
• 5:01
  don't have any friends. I actually have had friends for over two decades that
• 5:05
  live in Belgium, and I want to over Belgium. No no, no,
• 5:10
  no no no. But I'm saying like reasons to get over to Europe.
• 5:15
  Over to Europe, I have not spent enough time in Spain, and
• 5:17
  so I am highly interested to be able to go. But no, definitely
• 5:20
  Belgium. I also have friends that are over in Austria Germany when I went
• 5:24
  ahead and played soccer there. So all these places are not Spain. No,
• 5:30
  not of them are Spain. You are correct. And again, any
• 5:33
  reason, any reason to be able to go ahead and tour are wonderful European
• 5:40
  countries is a phenomenal experience, and I would highly recommend it. I mean,
• 5:43
  I guess you can take a train pretty much anywhere in Europe and be
• 5:46
  in another place in Europe in a matter of a few hours. Inside of
• 5:51
  Europe too. Oh really that cheap? Huh. It's like seven hundred bucks
• 5:58
  for me. But that's but we ended up paying seven higher by the time
• 6:01
  I got on the upgrades. My wife required to fly. So you're taking
• 6:06
  the wife but not the kid. Oh? Yes, he's got school and
• 6:11
  education is important. Thank you for weeks? School a priority? Well,
• 6:17
  no, because the vault should be on Friday, or leave it out like
• 6:19
  a Tuesday and coming back on a Monday. Oh so you're not just going
• 6:24
  for a Vault tour, you're also going sight seeing. Come watch me play
• 6:29
  keyfde that she is a pretty amazing wife, but she wants a little more
• 6:34
  than My wife came to Illinois with me too. I mean she didn't watch
• 6:39
  any play key Ford. She did the sight seeing thing while I was playing
• 6:42
  KeyForge. But it happens just Sam, but San Antonio. There was a
• 6:49
  Vault tour for those of you not paying. For those of you who missed
• 6:53
  the drama of the previous Vault tour, there was There was another Vault tour
• 6:57
  this past weekend. I believe this was a minor league drama free. Yeah,
• 7:02
  it's amazing what happens when we play clean and uh, when we're watched
• 7:10
  this is no sloopy mistakes were made, mistakes, no major sloopy consistent it's
• 7:16
  crazy sloopy mistakes. Fair enough. Thursday in Houston, Well she went Wednesday,
• 7:28
  Wednesday night, Wednesday night. Yeah, because you you went a whole
• 7:31
  day early. Mm hmmm, because I was going to be riding with sheep.
• 7:36
  But I had a field trip the day before Memorial Day weekends, I
• 7:41
  was off on that Friday. I'm like, I can do this. But
• 7:43
  I put a field trip on that Thursday, and she's like, yeah,
• 7:46
  I'm just gonna go down Wednesday. Why didn't you come down Thursday? That's
• 7:49
  what I did. Uh, I had to go ahead and help my family
• 7:55
  with putting in the pier and the boats and all that. So that's what
• 7:58
  Memorially weekend typically is. Because we waited to blame sheep, I see,
• 8:03
  I see, well no, no, no, no, no, it
• 8:05
  was first off for putting a bault to her on Memorial Day weekend. Like
• 8:09
  how did they think? I'm sure it was, but you know with what
• 8:15
  how many total players were there? Uh? Yeah, it was high thirties,
• 8:20
  I think, which is which is shocking to me because I thought Texas
• 8:26
  would at least pull Rochester numbers. But then it was like, oh,
• 8:31
  but it's also Memorial Day weekend. But you're it was in San Antonio,
• 8:37
  which is an expensive airport, true and hard to get to. Okay,
• 8:43
  fair enough, Still on Memorials I think you would have pulled similar numbers no
• 8:46
  matter where you went, because of the because of the week, what weekend
• 8:52
  it fell on, Yeah, weekend made a big difference. Plus there was
• 8:58
  no Memorial Day weekends like the biggest weekend for America. It is a big
• 9:05
  weekend, and I'll tell you we will get to it. But we did
• 9:09
  some. A couple of us did some. A bigger weekend. Fourth of
• 9:15
  July. I would say, maybe I from Labor Day is not a bigger
• 9:18
  weekend Memorial Day. Maybe like maybe fourth of July. I mean that's probably
• 9:24
  it. Like this is the unofficial official start of summer, and it's time
• 9:28
  to drink. I drink all week Can I say? I have never once
• 9:35
  particularly caretable Memorial Day weekend? Like, not not that I not saying anything
• 9:39
  about the holiday itself, but the fact that it is a Nope, it
• 9:46
  is not an important weekend for me. All right, fair enough, drazz
• 9:50
  You came in late Thursday, yep, all right, came then, Uh
• 9:56
  came in late Thursday, got picked up from the airport and got to got
• 10:01
  back to the Noble One's place, and uh, she you you had an
• 10:07
  opportunity, but you waited for me to get there. I did. I
• 10:11
  waited for you? Yes? What so well? So so the Noble one
• 10:16
  uh is a man after my own heart. And that also and Sheep's in
• 10:22
  that he is a enjoyer of rum and yo, Yes, and he's got
• 10:28
  a whole bunch of RUMs. So on the whole drive back for the airport,
• 10:33
  Sheep's like, you gotta see the rum. We're gonna check out the
• 10:35
  rum. We're gonna drink the rum. Did he do it in a pirate
• 10:41
  accident at least? Yeah? So so yeah, So we get there and
• 10:48
  I'll say it was delicious. There was a whole bunch of different RUMs and
• 10:54
  uh, it was very enjoyable. We hung out, drank and uh chatted
• 11:03
  and just had she had a good time. Yeah, and work on our
• 11:07
  first night of less than six hours of sleep yep, I thought it was
• 11:11
  a sleep deprived weekend from all all to be had. Yeah. So I'm
• 11:16
  like there, uh, you know, we're we're hanging out. We're like
• 11:20
  sitting on the couch. I've got my uh my rum. I'm just you
• 11:24
  know, drink it straight. It's great, right, And Sheep like gets
• 11:28
  up off the couch, like walks over the other room, like comes back
• 11:33
  back with a blanket, lays down on the couch, throws it over himself,
• 11:37
  hits a button on his phone to turn on a white noise while I'm
• 11:41
  talking to him, lays down on the couch that I'm sitting on, and
• 11:48
  he's like, okay, tell me a bedtime story. So when you tell
• 11:56
  him, I was like, yeah, once upon a time there was a
• 12:01
  sheep. He wanted the force some keys, So I don't remember, but
• 12:05
  didn't make it up on the fly. You didn't like, yeah, yeah,
• 12:07
  he has an experienced day. Wow, he delivered. Now did you
• 12:13
  did you go? Did you go all in, like your stroking Sheep's head
• 12:16
  and kind of comforting him, make sure he's nice and calm for this,
• 12:20
  because this is what I'm picturing for this whole experience. I didn't, but
• 12:24
  I understand on a different night there was almost at emergency that my assistance might
• 12:31
  have been required, but somehow that was that was avoided. We're getting ahead
• 12:37
  of herself. Well, we get into this emergency later or no, or
• 12:43
  possibly that was what that was Sunday night, So that Saturday or Thursday night,
• 12:48
  we first have to get through Friday. I will tell you from an
• 12:52
  outsider, I was very, very very sad knowing that Sheep left Wednesday night
• 12:58
  and seeing the messages because they as good friends, left me in this chat
• 13:03
  and so I could hear as Sheep landed as Dresscore landed as Sydney landed and
• 13:07
  all the excitement. So I was living vicariously through you. But there was
• 13:11
  a lot of sadness because it's it's a really good group of friends, from
• 13:16
  Big Z to the Noble One. You guys. I was sad to miss
• 13:18
  it, but I also have to take care of family. So tell us
• 13:22
  more. What happened Friday after this sweet bedtime story. Well, so we
• 13:26
  wake up, and because my bedtime story was so excellent, I think Sheep
• 13:31
  had an excellent night's sleep. I think that's that's how the story goes.
• 13:35
  Well, he had a great bedtime story. So yeah, yeah, so
• 13:39
  you know, I shot out the light for him and everything. So we
• 13:43
  uh uh uh yeah yeah, and then the uh and and you know,
• 13:52
  by the way, the Noble One was a great host. Uh and so
• 13:58
  it was. It was awesome hanging out there. Next morning, we get
• 14:01
  up and drive over to pick up Big Z and uh so, so Z
• 14:07
  hops in the car and we head out to San Antonio and so, uh,
• 14:16
  you know, I'm from I'm from Philly, not really from from the
• 14:20
  South. And we're driving along and Zach and Z You're like, we're gonna
• 14:24
  stop at BUCkies, Like, yeah, okay, I am so angry at
• 14:28
  you. I can't I cannot tell you, guys how angry I am at
• 14:31
  you. BUCkies is on my bucket, listed on your buck Bucky on the
• 14:39
  bucket list, right, like I need in all of my heart and being.
• 14:43
  I've seen them on YouTube, I've seen them in other like I need
• 14:48
  with all of my heart and soul. Like I've been to a quick trip
• 14:50
  and for those of you outside the Midwest, like you know what a quick
• 14:54
  trip is, or maybe you don't, but but like BUCkies is like a
• 14:58
  quick trip on aeroids, and I need to know what that feels like.
• 15:01
  It's like a baby Walmart mixed with a barbecue shop that happens to also self
• 15:07
  gasoline. Yeah, it was I they're describing it to me, and I'm
• 15:13
  like, oh, just like sounds like a big wah wah we have was
• 15:16
  here has nothing on BUCkies either. Yeah, but yeah, like we get
• 15:20
  there and like the size of this thing, the scope of this thing,
• 15:26
  right like I think the like the distance between the pumps and there's just dozens
• 15:31
  of them, but distant. Seeing each of the pumps is like wider than
• 15:35
  the highways we have here. In Philadelphia, like like it really squeezy in
• 15:41
  these lanes here in Philly. Uh. And so the place is just massive.
• 15:46
  We park, we get out, we like, we walk in and
• 15:50
  it is just it's massive. It's it's yeah, it's like the size of
• 15:54
  a Walmart or something. And yeah, and like the place is packed,
• 16:00
  like you are you are fighting through a crowd to get to your jerky that's
• 16:06
  on the wall, right, You're fighting through the crowd to see if you
• 16:08
  want some you know, chocolate, cover nuts or whatever. Right, Like
• 16:11
  you're fighting through the crowd to get to that. Like barbecue station, there's
• 16:15
  a guy like chopping meat there. It's brisket man. Yeah, and any
• 16:18
  gas station they can go ahead and serve you briskets low roasted. I mean
• 16:25
  that's a easily ten to fifteen hour process, depending on how big your brisket
• 16:30
  is. That that's where I want to be getting my gas right there.
• 16:33
  Oh oh so it was. It was. It was pretty pretty intense.
• 16:37
  And and the bathrooms are nice. They have a sign over the bathrooms like
• 16:41
  what is it like best eph it's his best bathrooms in the world or world
• 16:45
  famous whatever it is. Yeah. Yeah, so real nice bathrooms and uh.
• 16:52
  And this is where I picked up the beaver nuggets that I was like
• 16:59
  because I was like, what should I get at BUCkies because everybody's talking about
• 17:02
  BUCkies like, oh, you should get the beaver nuggets. So I'm all
• 17:07
  right, so we get this bag of beaver nuggets and like it is.
• 17:11
  Yeah, yeah, they're like I guess like they're they are peanut butter filled
• 17:17
  pretzels. No, no, not at all. Now there. These are
• 17:22
  like waffle crunch serial. Yeah, they're they're like more similar to like if
• 17:27
  you but like you cane. They're almost like caramel corn. Yeah, but
• 17:33
  it's like corn meal instead of the popped corn. I'm thinking of the other
• 17:40
  things that BUCkies has. But yes, beaver nuggets are lots of things.
• 17:44
  I know they have lots of things, but there's like two things that you
• 17:47
  gotta get when you go to BUCkies. The beaver nuggets is one fun fact.
• 17:52
  You can buy them on Amazon for like fourteen bucks. Oh they were
• 17:56
  not that expensive when I was there two days. Well, this is this
• 18:00
  is a thirteen ounce pack. You can get a three ounce pack, but
• 18:06
  that's a pack of eight. Well either way, we don't need to derail
• 18:07
  the show for beaver nuggets or do we or do we? So? Yeah,
• 18:14
  they were they were good. Like I wasn't like, you know,
• 18:18
  head over heels, but they were tasty. My son did not like them,
• 18:23
  did not like them, did not like them. Your son's weird.
• 18:27
  You try them milk. I mean they did sort of seem like cereal,
• 18:33
  Like, uh, like, what's that? What's that cereal? That frog
• 18:37
  on the box? Smack sugar pop, that's the one, sugar scacks.
• 18:41
  Yeah. Yeah, they're kind of like pops too. Yeah, now I
• 18:47
  wouldn't sugar in the name. Hold on, these are two wildly different cereals.
• 18:52
  One's a puffed corn one is basically just corn things and sugar. Yeah.
• 18:57
  Okay, there we go. So what else we have to talk about?
• 19:00
  What a rug it is? Hey, this is the best part of
• 19:06
  our podcast. So we walk out the door this this big sign like advertising
• 19:11
  like the salaries at BUCkies and like you could make like what it was like
• 19:18
  over one hundred grand as a assistant store manager was like a block and a
• 19:22
  quarter. Yeah, and like the the overall manager was like over two hundred
• 19:26
  or something, right, yeah, just managing the gift side was over one
• 19:32
  hundred grand. Yeah, I'm moving to Texas. Yeah, so like you
• 19:37
  would say that, but then like you're standing outside reading this sign and it's
• 19:41
  one hundred degrees and ninety five percent humidity, and you're like, oh,
• 19:47
  so tell tell me more about this. We're in sixty degree weather here in
• 19:51
  Wisconsin right now. What was the weather? What? What? It is
• 19:55
  amazing? We were out at camp today for school. What was the weather
• 19:59
  like for the Sweet Vaut tour guys? Hell? Yeah, I mean so,
• 20:03
  like I expected to be hot because of Texas. For some reason,
• 20:10
  I thought it was going to be like dry like Arizona. But clearly I
• 20:15
  don't know things, because it was as it was more humid than it is
• 20:19
  here and it was way warmer. So for anyone with numbers you guys had
• 20:26
  posted, it was supposed to be ninety seven degrees fahrenheit ninety it was the
• 20:30
  nice day. That was the nice day, and then it was one hundred
• 20:33
  degrees, fair night, one hundred degrees fairy night, one hundred and one
• 20:36
  and one hundred and one degrees very night. Like yeah, I want to
• 20:40
  be in water at that point. So yeah, So I asked the taxes,
• 20:44
  I'm like, why would you choose to live here because like some of
• 20:48
  them have moved in from Michigan and they moved from all over the country and
• 20:51
  they're all in Texas. Like, oh, it's it's the economy. So
• 20:53
  that's all it takes is a little money, and people just choose to live
• 20:57
  in hell. I mean, well, you didn't make it posh. Yeah,
• 21:03
  that's air conditioning. Some fine sometimes and then and then you die.
• 21:08
  I ain't gonna lie at one and twenty five, k Yeah, I can,
• 21:15
  I can see I can move to Texas. You break a sweat for
• 21:18
  that, Yeah, I mean should you? Boys? Also? You boys
• 21:21
  also made it back to Philly and Wisconsin in time because Texas also, you
• 21:26
  know, it's been really bad because Texas is hell. And onto the next
• 21:33
  topic. All right, so we're we're out, we're at we're at.
• 21:37
  Okay, Friday, we make it to Sealed, right, Friday is sealed
• 21:40
  days. Yeah, well we'll get to Shenanigans, right. So this is
• 21:45
  the the location the game store Shenanigans. And they've got lots of tables,
• 21:52
  so there's plenty of room to play. Very light on stock, right,
• 21:57
  so they they have like for all store stock. Yeah, they had a
• 22:03
  lot of card games, and a lot of sleeves. But they're not a
• 22:07
  board game store. Now now that did you guys card games? Okay,
• 22:11
  I saw a sweet picture. Did you all get new sleeves? Now?
• 22:17
  Just that was just in. That was just in for X ray, Yes,
• 22:22
  okay, fair enough. The they did have a really cool stage for
• 22:26
  streaming, so like the streaming stage was really cool, and they had a
• 22:33
  little room that you could hang out in to do the streaming, so I
• 22:37
  will say kept turning out it all. Yes, the room the light was
• 22:41
  on a motion center and so you're sitting there streaming and every five minutes the
• 22:45
  like you just start waving your arms like like you're in some weird rave and
• 22:52
  uh to get the light to come back on. So you could, you
• 22:55
  know, it became a game. I look at you, and I really
• 22:59
  enjoyed it from uh back. Part of the stream was whenever the light went
• 23:04
  off and whoever was streaming, because it was it was a Ryan in there
• 23:08
  streaming right for most of the weekend, yep. And then you were in
• 23:12
  there, and then Sydney was in there, and then like every time the
• 23:18
  light went off, like watching you guys like flap around in there like you're
• 23:22
  having you're like you're having a seizure like that was the greatest thing that I
• 23:26
  had watched all weekend. Yes, excuse me, Yes, and Oryan was
• 23:32
  a hero. He rock and rolled basically the whole thing like and uh he
• 23:40
  ways the sucker people in and not playing their event. Yeah. I had
• 23:47
  a great time, but I only did it what I only streamed, like
• 23:52
  when I wasn't playing, uh playing at an event, I didn't get an
• 23:56
  opportunity to help stream stream all weekend. What are you talking about? I
• 24:02
  will say from the viewing side, it was really nice to actually see multiple
• 24:07
  different commentators. I enjoyed that aspect. I think that was that's still a
• 24:11
  highlight from both Rochester and here now in San Antonio. So, Josh,
• 24:15
  props to you. I would like to be able to see if we could
• 24:18
  get a closer view of the actual match, and I understand why it needs
• 24:22
  to be wider screen in order to be able to see the actual game in
• 24:26
  kind of the cards, but from that height, especially when nothing against Josh,
• 24:33
  but when there's certain commentators that don't know the cards that they just don't
• 24:38
  understand kind of what's happening, But it makes it harder to see. So
• 24:44
  the camera there is glare. But I'm saying if we could get a closer
• 24:47
  view, like ability to zoom in, and we're limited with the game shops
• 24:52
  we're playing at, that would make a better experience on the viewing end.
• 24:57
  What really needs to happen, right, but now we're talking, you need
• 25:02
  a whole team to do this, right. You need a person to be
• 25:03
  switching cameras. You need a personality, you need that. It would be
• 25:07
  nicer if they played a card, right, somebody is close enough to determine
• 25:12
  what that card is and then they can put that card on the stream crime
• 25:18
  any what play is too fast for that play is too fast for this.
• 25:30
  But but remember this camera is not gg's camera, right, This is what
• 25:36
  I'm saying, the scores camera, and it was it was pretty bad here.
• 25:42
  Yes, sloopy play is too fast. You're right, You're right,
• 25:47
  Yes, the uh so so Yeah, definitely the Shenanigan should invest in a
• 25:52
  halfway decent camera because they invested in this really nice stage situation. Uh just
• 26:03
  maybe, I mean I can say for GG, because we're going to multiple
• 26:07
  vaults, you can actually take that individual camera with you and you can sub
• 26:10
  that out for the local house camera that's there because we'll need one for gen
• 26:14
  Con, We'll need one for other vaults that are coming up. It's it's
• 26:18
  there's no guarantee there will be a stream at gen Con. That's a lot
• 26:21
  harder to get. I agree. I agree for getting the website there,
• 26:23
  but I think that one it is amazing that we can still see and follow
• 26:29
  along, so awesome. Props to GG for being able to do that,
• 26:32
  because while I was back in Wisconsin, I was still able to follow Yu
• 26:36
  Sheep and I was able to follow many different friends who are down in San
• 26:40
  Antonio, and to be able to watch the games and to be able to
• 26:42
  peek in. I know the cards well enough that I can follow along,
• 26:45
  and a lot of our group can do that. But if we're looking to
• 26:48
  raise it that that elevation is the next level. I will also say I
• 26:52
  really like that it's on the GG website, sorry, it's on the GG
• 26:57
  YouTube site, and that is easy and consistent for us to track from vault
• 27:03
  to vault. So props on that. Yeah, that part's great. Yep.
• 27:07
  All right, I need to hear more information about this players player rules
• 27:14
  intro. Oh yeah, so uh so yeah, so Josh definitely kicked off
• 27:21
  the thing. Like, hey, by the way, there's rules that you
• 27:23
  have to follow. Who I didn't know, did you guys know when we
• 27:30
  announce their rules, then we play clean. Yeah, Like, don't do
• 27:34
  stupid stuff and be really clear as to what you're doing. Announce your plays
• 27:38
  right, like make it really clear. Yep. And uh so so it
• 27:48
  was good. It was good that that was that was done in that thing.
• 27:52
  Say anything about using the amber off creatures that have captured your amber?
• 27:59
  Oh yeah, oh man, we have to we all talk about that later.
• 28:02
  Yeah. So all I'm saying is like, what I did was not
• 28:04
  in the rules. So so your phone, we're talking about this now,
• 28:10
  talk about this now, bring it up. Come on? She what And
• 28:14
  in my finals match with Dexter, he captured twenty eight amber onto a traller
• 28:22
  and we just kind of shoved it all off to a corner. And later
• 28:25
  in the game, as I need amber, as I'm making amber, I'm
• 28:27
  just taking it from the troller amber and he does a few times and like
• 28:33
  and then a ryot. I'm in the streaming booth with Oryan, you know,
• 28:36
  waving our arms around, uh to keep the light on right, and
• 28:40
  and so a Rid's like, wait, did he did he just take the
• 28:42
  ember from the troller pool? And I'm like I'm not sure, and he's
• 28:48
  like should I go out there? I was like, I mean, Marcus
• 28:51
  is right there, so like let's watch. So we're like staring and then
• 28:55
  he does it again, jumps up and he runs out of the room and
• 28:59
  I'm like, got, we don't have to wave my ARBs around for their
• 29:00
  five minutes. So that's good. So I will say, because you guys
• 29:04
  played back to back events and we're going to get to that, like having
• 29:08
  done this at Rosevilt, it's a lot of games, so people don't realize
• 29:14
  how mentally taxing it is. Two games, well, but to play back,
• 29:19
  but to play back to back to back at that high level, I
• 29:22
  mean and cheap. You'll see you you show up there. It's they're little
• 29:27
  things that we take for granted that if you're in your local for the week,
• 29:30
  it's not going to be that big of a deal. But you're trying
• 29:34
  to highly focus, you miss some things. It actually ends up hurting sheep
• 29:38
  further versus just taking it from a general pool. But I appreciate your honesty
• 29:44
  there. Man, yeah, Yeah, it was definitely wrong on my part
• 29:49
  for accuracy, but it ultimately it was going to mean nothing in the way
• 29:53
  that game was playing out because there is one memo Leach in the deck that
• 29:57
  could actually take amber. Yep. So the quantity I was making, that's
• 30:03
  not how that game was finishing, right, Like it was one amber or
• 30:07
  one million amber. It was, you know, a bunch of cards Ki
• 30:11
  cheat. Yeah, I think I think the real thing is because it was
• 30:15
  a huge pile, you got to sort of shoved it above the traller as
• 30:18
  opposed to like actually trying to stack it on top of the troller. That's
• 30:22
  just one thing with the luxury play styles is they don't stack easy, and
• 30:26
  they're kind of fiddly to pick individuals up when you have that many. They're
• 30:30
  not chunky enough for easy pickup, but just covered the card. They are
• 30:37
  easier to see on stream though than some other amber that you know, I
• 30:42
  have or other individuals have, So that was something from the viewing side.
• 30:47
  Amber can actually kind of just blend into the background and disappear. It's very
• 30:52
  difficult for commentators to be able to say, oh, how many amber do
• 30:56
  they actually have? Because of the amber color. So I'll think about that
• 31:00
  next time I bring Amber to our next event. Yeah, like the uh
• 31:03
  Oryan and I when we were streaming, we had a little bit of a
• 31:07
  hard time with the there's a couple of different like reapout Amber, there's like
• 31:10
  a really clear one uh and we were having a hard time. We're like,
• 31:15
  how much Ember is on the archive card? Is he in check right
• 31:17
  now? Like we were, we were struggling a little bit with with with
• 31:21
  that one that's only a little bit yellow. So part of that's the camera
• 31:23
  quality. The camera was just not very good. If if those Dreamscape tokens
• 31:30
  in the future become customizable or have something cool stamped on them, mmmm,
• 31:37
  I could see using them. They use that, they're great with them.
• 31:42
  They're just chunky enough. I can pick them up. Yeah, they do
• 31:48
  get something to like separate them, because when you kind of lump them together,
• 31:52
  if you're not there, I could see them kind of all looking like,
• 31:55
  oh, how many are there? Who knows? You know? I
• 31:57
  love them? I hear that. I'm just saying from players like mister perfect,
• 32:01
  where we're gonna see pennies and quarters and nickels and god you key Forge
• 32:09
  has just been or is this your perch pot? What is this key?
• 32:15
  Forge has been a very open area for bringing your own tokens and having flare
• 32:19
  based on what you're bringing, So it's going to be difficult to just prioritize.
• 32:22
  I mean there's been multiple vaults that people are like, hey, you're
• 32:25
  going to be using these keys or this matt, and I'm like, no,
• 32:29
  I want to place my own Matt. So I get the idea for
• 32:31
  just wanting to have your own items. I'm playing with my bling, not
• 32:36
  your bling. Yep. All right, So how did Seal Go Boys?
• 32:42
  Seals fun? Yeah, it was fantastic. I did not have high hopes
• 32:46
  for myself. I opened my decks and I was like, yeah, I'm
• 32:50
  not going anywhere. Yeah, I uh so. My decks were definitely in
• 32:57
  the middle between what I got in Rochester and what I got in Roseville.
• 33:01
  Those are the two extremes, right. Rochester was very pleased. Roseville I
• 33:06
  was like, I'm not gonna win any games. This one was like,
• 33:08
  Okay, I've got some stuff there. It's not amazing killer combos, but
• 33:15
  this this could do work. So had a good time playing those decks.
• 33:21
  I uh I remember I Go two and two or three and two I don't
• 33:24
  remember, but uh didn't didn't did not get all the way to the top
• 33:30
  eight, but had had a good time playing games and uh just you know,
• 33:36
  love and sealed all right, you haven't put in here Tomalley's. Oh
• 33:43
  yeah, Tomali's yepkay okay, yeah right next door, Sola. Yeah this
• 33:49
  strip mall? So is it a strip mall? Right? So the yeah,
• 33:52
  next door you go to get Tamali's. They're pretty good, right,
• 33:55
  So people just all the time running over grabbing some bag of Tomali's, throw
• 33:59
  on down, and like, I wanted to refeat Tomali's and they gave me
• 34:01
  a hundred. So who else wants to Molly's. So everybody's just like sharing
• 34:06
  Tomali's around, and they were they were pretty delicious, Dexter says in chat
• 34:10
  he ate twelve on Saturday, which I believe. And yeah, that little
• 34:16
  strip mall was interesting, right. So I had this the Shenanigans Game Store,
• 34:21
  which didn't really sell much of the way games, but I had a
• 34:22
  lot of tables. It had the Tomali's place. It had a a liquor
• 34:29
  store which was called the Liquor Licker, the Liquor the liquor. That was
• 34:37
  the name of the store, the liquor. They were creative on their name
• 34:40
  choice. Okay, all right, where they they were direct? But what
• 34:45
  what else was in there? There was a there was like a long place
• 34:50
  right yeah, yeah, yeah, And then there was like some weird I
• 34:55
  don't know why I say weird, but like I guess that you couldn't really
• 34:58
  see inside. It was like a ice cream or yogurt place or something like.
• 35:01
  I didn't say anybody going in there, and like you couldn't see inside
• 35:05
  the place. It looked kind of sketchy. And Zach went there they what
• 35:10
  are they sorry about it? Okay, okay, yeah, yeah, this
• 35:15
  was not like the part of town. I don't know. It was another
• 35:20
  Mexican restaurant mm hmm. I got tacos from there. They were fine,
• 35:24
  mm hmm. And then there was the tattoo place that took wakins. That's
• 35:32
  those are the best, the best tattoos and what do you get? A
• 35:37
  no? And I as we got to the event, I said, if
• 35:40
  I win, yeah, all matchining Vault Volte Tour Winter Tattoos, because everybody
• 35:49
  in our car would have had a Vault to her win and nobody. Nobody
• 35:52
  would commit to that with me. I would have committed to it with you.
• 36:00
  Yeah, absolutely would have done it. We declined the butt tattoo.
• 36:04
  Oh you had to be on your you said butt tattoos, sir, That's
• 36:07
  where mine would have been. I mean, it would have been much better
• 36:10
  if we all could have dropped our pants. Ship would have been a tramp
• 36:14
  stamp. Come on, sheep, put ahead right right on the lower back,
• 36:20
  right there, tramp stamp, tramp stamp action. All right, so
• 36:25
  you wrap this group, you wrap up day one and sealed. I want
• 36:30
  to know about this tin across the street was boarded up, but I want
• 36:36
  to know what we were in. Yeah, all right, guys. You
• 36:38
  got to tell me though, how many locals showed up and talk about some
• 36:43
  tables? What's happening there? Well, okay, so well there's lots of
• 36:45
  I saw of reference. There's like lots of tables. There wasn't really anything
• 36:50
  else almost in the place. It was just like come and play cards and
• 36:52
  buy our sleeves. Uh oh, and we have a soda, big red
• 37:00
  by the way. Yeah. Well know, it wasn't very good. I
• 37:04
  had not heard of it before. I thought Moxie from Rochester was better than
• 37:07
  the Big Red. I did not drink it. Those are fighting words.
• 37:14
  Yeah, so yeah it was. I mean the event space was it was
• 37:20
  fine. Yeah, so well what I got to say is it was fine.
• 37:25
  Dress you were you were at Rochester. Was it better for location at
• 37:31
  Rochester or San Antonio? Like the store itself, the store was was a
• 37:37
  lot nicer at Rochester than it was in San Antonio. Yeah, everything about
• 37:44
  San Antonio except the parking was un If this had had one hundred players,
• 37:51
  I don't know what the hell they would have done, because even with the
• 37:53
  thirty whatever we had, like the parking lot was kind of a crap shot.
• 37:58
  Yeah, so I don't all what the parking plan was. Yeah we
• 38:01
  were parking, Yeah, we were parking next to the vehicle with the blasted
• 38:06
  out your window, with the garbage bag side this Yeah, this was it
• 38:15
  was. I mean it was for everything we needed that weekend, totally functional.
• 38:21
  I would potentially return again if you know, that's where a vault was
• 38:25
  again, Like there's nothing there that said I would not go. Oh Josh
• 38:31
  is all over you guys. He's like, Moxie is not better than Big
• 38:34
  Red. And there was some sweet street parking. I mean, this is
• 38:37
  a little questionable, but I mean, okay, I guess you could have
• 38:40
  parked on the street. Yeah, I guess I would have been fine.
• 38:44
  I mean, you could have parked on the street to get hit, but
• 38:45
  whatever, You're fine. I mean, you know, the store did have
• 38:50
  a very excellent selection of sleeves. They had a craft on sleeves and if
• 38:53
  you wanted Pokemon cards or U Geo cards, you were in a place.
• 38:59
  Yes, And they had all of the keyfards that g G brot, So
• 39:04
  there was plenty of keyfords to be bought to. Right now. I've been
• 39:07
  saying that I thought these vaults would be more localized and that you would see
• 39:13
  you know, there was there was about half a dozen players who are this
• 39:21
  year this year new that this event that is awesome, we want to see
• 39:25
  it. But there was also according to the Houston guys, like only half
• 39:30
  of the Houston crowd came over. Yeah, if we hadn't gone, Zee
• 39:37
  and Zach would like, if we hadn't already made plans to drag z and
• 39:39
  Zach over, they would not have gone. There was a good crowd from
• 39:45
  Austin who were commuting. Actually the ninety minutes back and forth. I think
• 39:53
  Knightly Peacock was the only local, Yeah, the only San Antonio person.
• 40:00
  That's like, I think two people from Dallas. Yeah, and again this
• 40:06
  is Memorial Days but it's huge as Dallas and there's two people from it.
• 40:12
  But it's Memorial Day weekend, Like you got to keep that in mind.
• 40:15
  Yeah, yep, so it was it was okay, Yeah, what was
• 40:29
  a good time. We had a good time. There was Uh, there
• 40:32
  was fever nuggets shared, sower patch kid oreos were shared, and you did
• 40:39
  we didn't talk about the sleeves that you're highlighting there, so uh, there
• 40:45
  was a special sleeve that was being passed around. It was put on a
• 40:52
  bunch of decks. Uh it was. It was the wookies face, surprised
• 40:58
  look and uh yeah, I don't dog big dog sleeves, big dog wookie
• 41:06
  sleeves. Yeah, it was. Uh, it was epic and uh I
• 41:10
  think they were played on stream. It was. It was a good time.
• 41:16
  Yes, having big dog Wokie sleeves for Alliance felt right, mm hmm,
• 41:24
  especially since it's usually mostly his decks. Two thirds maybe two thirds.
• 41:30
  All right, So we end up day one se steel Deckster, Flaming Hobo
• 41:37
  Sheep. I don't know which one to go with this, but Buff Gobo,
• 41:43
  Fight Milk off Gobo is what he was for the event, Okay,
• 41:49
  I think is online here all right? Dave C andngor Lami were your top
• 41:53
  eight first sealed, Okay, so what really surprised to get there? I
• 42:04
  thought I was going to lose my first two games, both of them.
• 42:08
  I was way behind. But I actually think the other players made some inopportune
• 42:15
  moves that allowed me to win games that I shouldn't have. And but once
• 42:20
  I got past those first two rounds, then either I clicked with my deck
• 42:23
  or I just started drawing, because after that it was just make a billion
• 42:28
  amber and win every game. Yeah, I felt there was a number of
• 42:34
  well known names on your Golian dave C Sheep, I actually liked seeing Buff
• 42:39
  Gobo, White Milk a newer name for me. So that was awesome.
• 42:45
  Faster making or Unfathom and making a tour. Flaming Hobo and sc Steele missed
• 42:52
  one individual, but it's still a really really nice group and Girlami, awesome
• 42:57
  job on taking that first VG there for sealed. Yeah, and there were
• 43:02
  so it was it was actually Devin and Sydney both opened and they're sitting together
• 43:10
  over at table doing repout things, and they're both opened windca with double key
• 43:17
  abduction backs and sealed. And then Sydney also got a beanstock pot, so
• 43:28
  she made a pretty easy three. Oh day one. It's all he made
• 43:32
  you play was three. That's all it took was three because there was thirty
• 43:37
  six players, so it was three o's got in and then for one so
• 43:45
  it was a total of five games if you if you lost ones on day
• 43:50
  one. All right, So I'm does Dramscour experience start on Friday? Now
• 43:57
  you skipped ahead of Saturday? No, no Friday hotel lobby hangout? Yeah,
• 44:01
  hotel lobby hangout. This this wasn't I mean, this was just us.
• 44:05
  We got back to the hotel kind of late. Uh So we're hanging
• 44:08
  out at the hotel and Sydney had brought uh some beverage that was highlighter colored
• 44:17
  called kinki uh and uh so so people were drinking some of that. I
• 44:24
  think I had a beer. I had Newcastle Yeah, yeah, which somebody
• 44:31
  was trying to tell us there was some abbreviation it was. It was Luke
• 44:35
  Sky jedi. He was like, trying to call it. I forget what
• 44:37
  what the heck was he trying to call it? He was like, this
• 44:39
  is a neukie or something. I was like, a what. He's like,
• 44:43
  you want a newkie? I was like, what is this a Fallout
• 44:47
  reference? And uh no, apparently that's something people call Newcastle beers. And
• 44:55
  both Josh and I were like, we don't know what you're talking about.
• 44:59
  Yeah, yeah, so me. Yeah. So I sit down, we're
• 45:02
  hanging out, and you know, I make the mistake of asking Josh about
• 45:07
  Netrunner. So then I get the history of Netrunner and a detailed analysis of
• 45:16
  the current state of the game and everything that's that's being run by the organization.
• 45:22
  And so it's a good two hour symposium that I received, and that
• 45:30
  actually was super interesting. I was asking a billion questions. I was curious
• 45:34
  alcohol to get information on the game, and you get the fucking history of
• 45:38
  Netrunner. I did a most useless mole. You're right, it wasn't two
• 45:45
  hours, Josh, it was only ninety minutes. You're right. The class
• 45:50
  the class bell rang. His phone was like, well, let me show
• 45:53
  you my PowerPoint. Yes, so, uh but but it was it was
• 46:00
  actually because I was asking questions. I was trying to figure out how it
• 46:05
  compares to like stuff that's going on KeyForge. So, yes, Josh will
• 46:09
  do it again. I think he says, I'll do it again. I
• 46:12
  think that's a threat, just so that'll be a warning, sir, there's
• 46:17
  no threat warning. That's right. You didn't sit through my whole presentation.
• 46:22
  That's a warning. It's a warning. I made a moderately drunk Sydney play
• 46:29
  me an Alliance. Oh there you go? Do you put the first rap
• 46:31
  on the Alliance? Back? Guy? I supposed to be playing the next
• 46:34
  day because we knew we were stacked at that point where we'd be playing both
• 46:37
  events, shouts I'll do it again. And it wasn't two hours way to
• 46:42
  go there, So so at some point I'm like, it's it's late.
• 46:45
  It's like after one or something. I'm like, I'm gonna it was almost
• 46:50
  two, and I'm like, I should go to bed because like I want
• 46:52
  to rock and roll tomorrow, and so, uh so I head up to
• 46:58
  bed right and pass out. Wake up in the morning to see like Sydney
• 47:04
  had been like texting us at like almost four in the morning, like some
• 47:07
  sort of gobbledygook. Yeah, there's something something I'm not gonna remember the morning
• 47:15
  whatever. I was like, okay, I said, yeah, but uh
• 47:24
  yeah, so breakfast hotel was actually was for a hotel breakfast not bad.
• 47:30
  It was fine. Yeah. They had like an automatic and cake maker,
• 47:36
  warm cinnamon rolls. Yeah, decent eggs. It was fine. Yeah for
• 47:40
  for like a free hotel breakfast. It was solid. All right, Saturday,
• 47:47
  we're going to we are stacked for ARCon and Alliance. Tell me how
• 47:54
  our kind of well, obviously we know how our kind for one of you
• 48:00
  on the day punted my I punted my three to zero game. Oh really
• 48:07
  yeah, yeah, I five games then yep, and I lost my first
• 48:13
  match. So I lost to uh Wodka right or Windco or whatever we're called.
• 48:21
  Sure, so uh the yeah, it was one of these like forged
• 48:27
  two almost free keys and uh I did not get my engine going in time.
• 48:34
  So I lose my first game, and I'm like, I'm not I'm
• 48:37
  suddenly not feeling so great about about the situation, but managed to to fight
• 48:43
  my way back when when the rest of the games, and now it's like,
• 48:45
  hey, maybe I'm streaming again. Who knows? Get to it well,
• 48:49
  right, and uh get up to the top eight. So that was
• 48:52
  cool. Yeah, I punted to Devin on stream. This is on Saturday,
• 49:00
  this would have been what So it was Wednesday night, Thursday night,
• 49:05
  and Friday night. So this is my third night in a row with four
• 49:08
  to five hours of sleep. That's the way to do it. Yeah,
• 49:14
  so you know, I'm funcked bean at ninety nine percent of nothing. But
• 49:21
  you know that's why I picked the decks I do because I can. I
• 49:23
  can fire them without a hundred brain cells. So but yeah, I just
• 49:29
  totally punted to Devin. He's got a tourist trap. I go to six
• 49:34
  amber and I replay my stupid grabber jammer and then he just tourist traps it
• 49:40
  to take me off key and made enough amber then I couldn't stop him.
• 49:46
  And that was his only Like my grabber jammer is what gave him the ability
• 49:52
  to keep me off key. Otherwise he would have won. Otherwise I would
• 49:58
  have won. Wow. Yep, Yeah, So that was that was a
• 50:02
  Even players make mistakes, and this is important to know as we are all
• 50:07
  learning and growing. It was its like as soon as I passed turn and
• 50:12
  I'm looking at him. I see his tourist trap. I'm just like,
• 50:14
  oh, so, then, you know, I look at my hand and
• 50:17
  I see I have like all junk. There's not a single amber control card
• 50:22
  in my hand, and I just like put it back down, and I'm
• 50:24
  internally crying because I know I've just punted that game. Mm hm, oh
• 50:31
  it does happen? Does happen? All right? How an Alliance? Go
• 50:37
  for the for the for you boys, gotta go for your DASCAR. I
• 50:45
  declined to play Alliance. I was like, I'm gonna go stream, yeah,
• 50:49
  straight up to Cline, you were one of the few just straight up
• 50:51
  declined, Yeah, I'm not gonna taint myself with this Alliance stuff. I
• 50:57
  actually played a natural deck in sealed the I didn't you a little rubble you?
• 51:07
  Hey o Liant Shenanigans Yeah, weekend Yeah, did you grumble when you
• 51:17
  walked? No? We know, And and you know I would have Alliance
• 51:24
  if it was obviously better. I'm not like gonna handicap myself in that way.
• 51:30
  But the it was kind of a push between the using this deck naturally
• 51:38
  and then or swapping it out for another pod. And since it was kind
• 51:43
  of a push, there's pros and cons of each I'm just stick with the
• 51:45
  natural deck. So that was the tiebreaker for me. Got it. But
• 51:53
  okay, so you declined to play Alliance and you went and streamed, and
• 51:58
  so how many were Alliance players were there? It's only twenty eight? There
• 52:01
  was like so many. Sound was like, yeah, twenty seven to twenty
• 52:05
  eight something like that, So that's nine or ten people chose, and most
• 52:07
  of them were like the local crowd players who were like, yeah, I
• 52:15
  don't know what that is. I don't want to deal with it other than
• 52:19
  that. Yeah, see, that's bizarre to me. But and if you're
• 52:23
  there to play key Ford, you paid that money to play key Fords plays
• 52:27
  key Forge, even if it is Alliance. But yeah, even if I
• 52:30
  mean dirty Dirty Alliance, I mean they probably played side events, right,
• 52:34
  dirty dirty girl I had fun streaming, so they probably wouldn't play Sealed.
• 52:39
  But for our top eight for do we get those in here? Okay?
• 52:46
  So Alliance Top eight X ray who was Paine who? So oh yeah,
• 52:55
  they're like a Lion's is supposed to start between six and seven, right,
• 52:59
  and then ar kind of got done quick, so it's like three thirty and
• 53:02
  they're like let's start Alliance as soon as possible. And they're like, contact
• 53:07
  the few people who aren't here. So we get ahold of x Ray and
• 53:08
  he's like, oh, I'm like forty minutes away and want to play.
• 53:10
  And we're like, you're killing us, x right, anything to have a
• 53:14
  dack. So I had to get him a dack and like stall a little
• 53:19
  bit so he could play. Yeah, the extra company forty minutes away,
• 53:25
  we don't need we don't. We all know what X Ray's doing forty minutes
• 53:31
  away, Princess. So is that the club? Right? Yeah, that's
• 53:37
  the Duck Club, I think is what they call it. Yeah, exactly,
• 53:40
  the uh and you know he comes back with his Princess Matt, So,
• 53:45
  yeah, is his lorcana play Matt he was going with for Punzel and
• 53:53
  then uh and then his sleeves. I think he had look one piece sleeves
• 53:59
  like, so bust the anime situation for his deck because he does not have
• 54:04
  an Alliance deck, right, he's got nothing built. I go into Bagmon
• 54:07
  and I go find our good friends Sydney. And Sydney it's like, I'm
• 54:10
  sure we can find something to help you out, and she convinces Dave c
• 54:15
  to loan him his deck and Dave's Dave's extra Alliance deck is the one he
• 54:20
  played in Worlds last year. Yeah, did very well, right, top
• 54:27
  four or how far did he go with it? Yeah? That was high?
• 54:30
  Wow? So they so they gave that tax right, but before he
• 54:35
  let x Ray touch it, he triple sleeved it in one piece triple He
• 54:40
  triple sleeved it and then also bought some other games busty character deckbox for it.
• 54:47
  So x Ray's got to sit down at the table now with his Princess
• 54:52
  play mat and his busty sleeves, with his busy so good. What's but
• 55:00
  you guys are like laughing because you're like, oh man, x Ray probably
• 55:02
  hated every minute of it. I would have been like this is great.
• 55:06
  Wow. It clearly didn't distract him because he then goes on with this deck
• 55:09
  he's never played, Yeah, to top eight two and then he only got
• 55:15
  paired up against other Reboult players and kept beating them. The kids is loan
• 55:22
  from Repout and then only plays Repout and it's just just tutting him down.
• 55:29
  Ah, is he getting dirty? Looks all right? Top eight over a
• 55:31
  Alliance was x Ray, big z Gerlami, Unfathomable or Dexter, big Zest,
• 55:39
  Energy, Doctor, Sheep, Melissma and Seth was your top eight for
• 55:45
  alliance? For Arkhan, you have a Flaming Hobo, Melisma, magic Duck
• 55:52
  Orlami dress or odd Monster again, Unfathomable, Dexter and Uh and Sheep top
• 56:00
  eighting for arcan So we get finally to the drazz Core experience. Oh yeah,
• 56:07
  yeah, so so we almost started the daz Core experience early, by
• 56:12
  the way, because when when they were like, you guys did start the
• 56:15
  dras Core experience earlier. I'm gonna be honest, if I was in sheep
• 56:19
  shoes, I would have been so frustrated you guys, because I'm watching.
• 56:24
  I'm watching because I'm I'm just finishing, Like I just finished a day's worth
• 56:29
  of drinking. I've been drinking since like eleven thirty, right, a day's
• 56:34
  worth the drinking. And somehow I got to Chili's and I'm gonna sit down
• 56:37
  and have some dinner with the wife and I'm watching the stream. I pop
• 56:42
  on the stream real quick, and who do I see Sheep and Z battling
• 56:49
  battling, And I'm like, oh, man, Sheep's either made it really
• 56:52
  far, who knows. I don't know what's going on because I've been drinking
• 56:55
  all day. And at the same time, my discord goes off and Sydney's
• 57:04
  posting pics of the Das Corps experience, and I'm like, what, it's
• 57:08
  not even over yet. What happened? You gotta come and joint us.
• 57:14
  Come on. So while Walkie is enjoying his best life over here, I
• 57:20
  was having my best life. I'm eating chilis and I'm loaded. I was,
• 57:28
  I was what's better than What's better than eating food after a day's worth
• 57:32
  the drinking? Whoopen Zi's ass an alliance? I mean, listen, there
• 57:37
  you go. That could have been any finish. It didn't matter what food
• 57:40
  it was. I she puished drinking a bunch and I was hungry Sheep.
• 57:45
  How do you feel about finishing Z's career, like just retiring him. Do
• 57:50
  you feel that you are Qui Gon and that he is Qui Gon and you
• 57:54
  are obi Wan? We talked about this Tuesday. Now we discussed this and
• 58:05
  he is he is definitely obi Wan. Okay, I am Vader and I've
• 58:10
  gone to the dark side and whooped his ass and Alliance. That doesn't make
• 58:15
  sense. He went to Alliance first. It doesn't matter. This is my
• 58:21
  dark side of heart. The narrative doesn't matter. It's all that matters.
• 58:24
  It's a little week. And now we got Dexter, who is our luke,
• 58:29
  and he's he is going to balance back to the forest. Well,
• 58:35
  while you guys were having well, you guys are having a great old time,
• 58:43
  I was going ahead and having a wonderful time. I started twelve hours
• 58:49
  earlier raking, and then we had a doc that neighbors lovely tried to help
• 58:53
  us out but got really wrecked. And so I solved that problem. And
• 59:00
  finally after six thirty, I go in to have dinner and my dad comes
• 59:05
  in about five minutes later and says, you know what, I was gonna
• 59:07
  spray some gasoline into this carburetor, but I just lost a nott into into
• 59:15
  our engine, which is my prop. So yeah, there were some very
• 59:21
  mean words going off in my head, but we were able to scoop it
• 59:24
  out. It all worked out well. God is good because I did not
• 59:28
  have to go ahead and tear apart that engine. That would have been a
• 59:30
  much longer task. And we got it out. But Finally, at nine
• 59:35
  o'clock, I sat down and said, I'm having a beer around this fire,
• 59:37
  and that's when I see cheap n Z going ahead and playing. Talk
• 59:43
  to me about this move, sheep. Did you count out the final odds
• 59:47
  and probability? No? No, you just said I got a roll with
• 59:55
  it. This is this is the odd I love that you can what what
• 1:00:00
  are the odds? Like, I'm playing a deck that just says play mars,
• 1:00:04
  make a bunch of amber. If the key abduction works, great And
• 1:00:07
  the only other move there is in this deck, which is what Wookie and
• 1:00:13
  I were learning when he was trying to develop it, is reap with the
• 1:00:16
  void Prober to make keys really expensive and hope that's enough. That's it.
• 1:00:22
  That's all the deck is doing. And I did see that. I will
• 1:00:25
  say that I felt there was a call. Okay, that's interesting, got
• 1:00:30
  it. So meanwhile, I'm at Chili's watching this and I see the Void
• 1:00:34
  proper. I'm having a great time, although I'm a little angry, okay,
• 1:00:38
  because I see that. I see the void Prober come down and I'm
• 1:00:42
  like, yeah, he's definitely got a rebel in his hand and he's going
• 1:00:45
  to reap with that rebel and make keys just cost a crazy amount and then
• 1:00:49
  rub it in my face later. Yes, because when we were practicing,
• 1:00:53
  Wookie would like to discard the void prober for the one amber steel slow steal
• 1:01:00
  because we got a ton of targets in the decks, so we archive them.
• 1:01:05
  And I'm a much bigger fan, especially in Alliance, because people want
• 1:01:08
  a key cheet, you just make their key stupid expensive they can. Which
• 1:01:13
  although actually the key price increase would not have been the difference if z had
• 1:01:20
  hit on his silly later like the key cost increase would not have mattered because
• 1:01:27
  he would have had enough cards in his hand to overcome twenty seven cost key
• 1:01:32
  or whatever it was. Well, yeah, I was gonna say, what
• 1:01:35
  would it have cost him? Hold on, let's bust out the calculating six.
• 1:01:38
  So it's six plus nine plus another six plus one. Because you also
• 1:01:45
  had a grabber jammer out. He would have been using key abduction, so
• 1:01:51
  grabber jammer wouldn't a count it all. Okay, fair enough, okay,
• 1:01:55
  so twenty it would have cost him twenty one umber to forge a key.
• 1:02:01
  I believe it was twelve plus nine twelve for the void prober reaping four times
• 1:02:07
  four times twenty one plus cost is twenty seven. Yeah, that was really
• 1:02:14
  the problem. I thought. I didn't think he'd have enough in his hand
• 1:02:16
  to do as such. Oh yeah he would, okay. Plus he had
• 1:02:22
  like twenty amber on the board, So that does he have a does he
• 1:02:24
  have a face shift on it? That deck does have a face? Does
• 1:02:29
  does? And if he hit it on his flip, he probably would have
• 1:02:31
  beat me, and I would have been very sad. But instead instead I
• 1:02:37
  put him and you put put old Yeller down. All right, let's go
• 1:02:45
  all not even here to That was a that would make hey listen. That
• 1:02:52
  was a decision made by him. Yeh, he'll catch us on the download
• 1:02:57
  quick. Okay. So drass Car Experience, dras Car going going into a
• 1:03:02
  line right, like the Drascore Experience is leaving because it's already nine or ten
• 1:03:07
  o'clock whatever when they're having us play our top to get everything done. They
• 1:03:13
  had us play the first round of Alliance that night, and we're Zee and
• 1:03:17
  I are sitting down on a stroom table and we have Josh watching us,
• 1:03:22
  and Marcus is doing the other tables right, and we're talking. He's like,
• 1:03:27
  oh yeah, we're just gonna play this one. And I'm like,
• 1:03:29
  okay. When we sit down and like my first long turn, and Z
• 1:03:31
  is like nodding off at the table because this is game ten eleven. Would
• 1:03:39
  had him in game ten or eleven, I think, right, because we
• 1:03:44
  had went four and one and four and one or five and one. Right,
• 1:03:47
  So it's like game ten eleven, twelve of the day. You know,
• 1:03:52
  all the games are going fairly long, yo, your brain is totally
• 1:03:57
  fried. We get done with that and I'm like packing up, and Marcus
• 1:04:00
  is like, oh, no, you're gonna play your next round, and
• 1:04:01
  I'm like, no, I'm not gonna play my next round. Like if
• 1:04:04
  I had to play another game that night, I don't. I don't even
• 1:04:08
  know if I would have known what I was doing, Like it was totally
• 1:04:12
  out of it coming into the end of that game. It's just no no
• 1:04:15
  ability to focus left at that point that night. But is it a long,
• 1:04:21
  brutal day. What's important for anyone who makes it that far, it
• 1:04:26
  is okay to be able to say, hey, no, this isn't gonna
• 1:04:30
  happen. We need to be able to advocate for ourself if there is sloopy
• 1:04:33
  play we need to advocate for ourselves if you need to physically take a break,
• 1:04:39
  and I can. I can attest to the long day of playing Arc
• 1:04:42
  unto Alliance. It's long. So if you need to be able to say,
• 1:04:45
  hey, it's enough, it's enough. Yeah, that one meant sloopy.
• 1:04:48
  That was just loopy, play correct, but it was good. Then
• 1:04:54
  we went back and so there was also supposed to be a party kind of
• 1:05:00
  sponsored by Draz and Sydney, but because the event went well after like that
• 1:05:06
  was supposed to even start there, like heck with that, we're going to
• 1:05:09
  the tiki bar. Sydney leaves the booze with me and I had to go
• 1:05:15
  back and start the party. And mind you, it's like Zee and I
• 1:05:20
  went back downstairs around midnight and we're still the only two people back to the
• 1:05:27
  hotel because as soon as that last match left, we bailed out because we
• 1:05:31
  were done. And it's like it wasn't until after midnight people even started showing
• 1:05:38
  back up from the event that day. It was another it was a long
• 1:05:41
  one. It was. It was a long night. Yep. The we
• 1:05:45
  did end up coming back to the hotel and hanging out with the guys there
• 1:05:48
  but but we we definitely did some stuff before then. So uh, it
• 1:05:54
  ended up Sydney, Hobo Wren down and myself, we all we went to
• 1:06:00
  downtown San Antonio. We went to the Riverwalk area, which was really cool.
• 1:06:06
  I had heard cool stuff about it. But basically, you're walking around
• 1:06:11
  along the river, right, there's like riverboats going along and it's all it's
• 1:06:15
  all concrete and there's you know, bars and stuff you just walk up to
• 1:06:18
  and it's a fake river, right. Probably it seemed pretty fake. Like
• 1:06:24
  maybe maybe at one time it was real, but definitely at this point it's
• 1:06:28
  fake. Right. So you so we were just getting Margarita's like right there
• 1:06:33
  on the on the river and there's like no railings and you know, it's
• 1:06:36
  Memorial Day weekend and the place is like packed and I'm worried to me like
• 1:06:41
  accidentally knock one of these like tourist kids into the river, right or something.
• 1:06:45
  As we're making our way through the through the throng of the masses,
• 1:06:50
  right, So we walk around and like, uh, what's They're like,
• 1:06:58
  where are we going? Like we're a lot so whatever. I'm like that,
• 1:07:00
  We're like we're good guys, We're good, like whenever. I just
• 1:07:03
  want to let anybody know this. I want to I want to give the
• 1:07:06
  dazz Cort announcement PSA. If ever Draz Corps says you're good, you're not
• 1:07:14
  all right, just be prepared to possibly defend yourself. Nobody died. Nobody's
• 1:07:23
  died yet, Okay, I mean it's a statements. We're on a good
• 1:07:29
  track record. It's been two years and nobody has died yet. Okay,
• 1:07:33
  that's right. So yeah, I mean in Dad's how you know you're having
• 1:07:39
  fun if you're playing the odds, the odds are in your favor. Now,
• 1:07:45
  the first time somebody goes missing, well that'll be on the news.
• 1:07:49
  So so this is the first time, you know, some of these folks
• 1:07:54
  have been on a Daz Corps experience, and for some reason, there was
• 1:07:58
  questions that started popping up, people like has anybody lost a lib on many
• 1:08:03
  of these things so far? And I was like, well, look at
• 1:08:06
  Sydney, She's still alive. Yeah, so, uh, I forget why
• 1:08:15
  that was part of the conversation that was like Hugh Margarita's in at that point,
• 1:08:17
  uh, and uh, but we do end up at the tiki bar,
• 1:08:23
  so we end up at Hugman's Tiki Bar, and it's cool. There's
• 1:08:28
  like all sorts of like, you know, cool Polynesian stuff on the wall.
• 1:08:31
  There's like this crazy skulls chandelier over our table, and uh, you
• 1:08:38
  know, we get drinks and all sorts of fancy tiki mugs and stuff,
• 1:08:41
  and like, uh, Don's super hungry, so he like gets a whole
• 1:08:45
  bunch of food and uh, who is Don? By the way, So
• 1:08:48
  Don is a I don't know his actual handle is like uh striking or something
• 1:08:57
  I forgot, but he's from Baltimore, so he's one of the Baltimore guys.
• 1:09:00
  Oh, it's not stranging, it's not streaking. Now, it's it
• 1:09:03
  sounds similar. It's not the same as the my Philly hold on. Somebody
• 1:09:09
  just posted in our thing hold on. But Don is from the Baltimore are
• 1:09:14
  so his local, he's one of the Baywitches. His local is the place
• 1:09:17
  that the Baltimore Vault is going to be at. So uh on occasion,
• 1:09:21
  like for like store champs and stuff like, I go down there. So
• 1:09:25
  I've talked with them and stuff before and we've yeah, somebody just posted in
• 1:09:30
  our in our like past episodes thing, and it sounded familiar. Hold on,
• 1:09:35
  I'm gonna have to go to my phone for this one because it's got
• 1:09:39
  that the dot dot dot dot, which drives me nuts. Sure does sure
• 1:09:44
  dumb and it's stupid and I'm just feeling for time. Is it stests sir?
• 1:09:50
  Maybe Okay, that's not helpful, but okay, So then we uh
• 1:09:58
  then like we hear cheeps back of the hotel, so I'm like, all
• 1:10:00
  right, we're going back because she wouldn't come out, so uh come out
• 1:10:04
  and play. Yeah, So so we get back and hang out and uh
• 1:10:10
  maybe that's when I got the the you know, college level course on net
• 1:10:17
  Runner. I actually can't remember which night it was, but one of the
• 1:10:21
  other nights. Maybe you got two and you were the first night, the
• 1:10:29
  first night, okay, all right, so yeah, because I don't want
• 1:10:31
  to stay up too late on Saturday because I got I got to play the
• 1:10:35
  next day on Sunday. So they're das quarry. I'm I'm messaging Sydney because
• 1:10:42
  I've got a cruise for her party and and I'm like she's like, okay,
• 1:10:47
  we'll be heading back to them, and she's like, oh wait,
• 1:10:49
  never mind, drass Courts got another drink that part. I didn't know.
• 1:10:58
  Did you wait for you under the bus? Yeah, it's I would definitely.
• 1:11:03
  People were like, oh, are we finishing up? I was like,
• 1:11:05
  I've ordered another drink, and then the waiter is, you know,
• 1:11:08
  right there, get this now, I got. I got two questions for
• 1:11:13
  you, sheep. Are you all alone at this point? Just with you?
• 1:11:18
  Okay? So at what point did you say fucking I'm cracking the ship
• 1:11:23
  and ever? Or did you wait for everyone? Yes? I was drinking
• 1:11:30
  her alcohol. Oh yeah, okay, of course, yeah, I would
• 1:11:32
  have been this. I am drinking as much as this as possible. I
• 1:11:35
  mean I had I had they had diet cokes at the in the hotel thing,
• 1:11:42
  so I could buy die coke and she bought honey whiskey jack. So
• 1:11:47
  yeah, that's you can drink that. Yeah, it's serviceable. It might
• 1:11:54
  make ego blind, maybe maybe. All right, So now we get back
• 1:12:00
  to the hotel lobby. What happens at the hotel lobby just more drinking.
• 1:12:05
  Yeah, it's and finally people start rolling in and I guess Marcus never showed
• 1:12:14
  up that night, did he? Maybe he went? And you do have
• 1:12:19
  to let our judges and gg's staff go to bett. Eventually they let themselves
• 1:12:25
  go to sleep. The slap was up to like four after four in the
• 1:12:30
  morning. We're on the street as a couple of them party. Yeah.
• 1:12:34
  Yeah, they get away from they get away from the box thousands, they
• 1:12:39
  get a little nuts. So yeah, I mean I put it on the
• 1:12:42
  company card. I'm kidding, don't do that. I don't know. I
• 1:12:48
  went to bed at like twelve fifteen Saturday into Sunday because I'm like, nope,
• 1:12:53
  I got a lot of planing to do, so I took my old
• 1:12:58
  self and the winter oh and real quick, when did okay, so when
• 1:13:00
  sealed was done on Saturday, right, yes, Sunday. So well that
• 1:13:06
  was kind of crazy how that that played out. It did not finish.
• 1:13:14
  When did that finish? Because that was I had to have finished before Alliance
• 1:13:17
  because I watched you guys, and I think that was it. Like I
• 1:13:20
  don't think there was any more stream after you I saw you and Z No
• 1:13:25
  it was and they played it during the Alliance. Yeah, so so so
• 1:13:32
  they actually went ahead and what I recalled on this Wookie you had left,
• 1:13:38
  but they took a break. They came back into the Alliance, but because
• 1:13:41
  of the length of the day that you guys had the YouTube actually went past
• 1:13:45
  it. Yeah, because they went they went too long. Yeah, that
• 1:13:53
  is a bit of a box. Check a box. Check that box next
• 1:13:57
  time. Somebody didn't know there was a box to yep, check that box
• 1:14:00
  next time in your stream for five minutes and put it back. Yeah.
• 1:14:05
  Well, at one point Discord will tell you you've disconnected, or maybe it
• 1:14:11
  didn't. What discord got to do with this YouTube? Not Discord, I'm
• 1:14:14
  sorry, obs will tell you that you've disconnected from YouTube. Yeah, I
• 1:14:18
  don't know what they're using. They're using discord if it's Josh the same thing
• 1:14:21
  as us, or I'm sorry, ohbs. So either way. Top to
• 1:14:27
  four sealed was Gorlami and Dave Cordero your winner, Gorlami taking it down first
• 1:14:34
  sealed Sunday, we get into I think Alliance went Yeah, Alliance went first,
• 1:14:44
  right, Alliance, so we saw that did the SITH big time.
• 1:14:51
  I probably should have won that game, but I made a truth like this
• 1:14:58
  is now the fourth night of I think I probably slept about five hours Sunday
• 1:15:02
  because I tried to go to bed early, but still like before six am,
• 1:15:06
  I'm awake and there's nothing I can do about it. Yeah, So
• 1:15:12
  I sit down and play Sith, and I know he's playing Faith and I
• 1:15:15
  have played Faith, I've played against Faith, like I have my idea,
• 1:15:19
  and like, somewhere towards the end of that game, I'm looking at my
• 1:15:23
  hand. I'm like, oh, yeah, I've got this pretty well locked
• 1:15:26
  up. He doesn't key cheat. I'm okay, right, I don't really
• 1:15:30
  care what he does because he can't key cheat. His amber control is all
• 1:15:33
  in mars and I'm just gonna bounce it off the board when I go to
• 1:15:35
  win the game anyways, So like it doesn't matter. So I like discarded
• 1:15:41
  my artifact control pushing for more amber because I'm like, I don't need it.
• 1:15:45
  I don't really care what he's doing because I totally forget we're playing Alliance
• 1:15:49
  and Truth and that he has that he has a key abduction. No,
• 1:15:56
  he has a key abduction in that deck. And then because it's buzz,
• 1:16:00
  drink it once he has his hand and deckets play it, play one at
• 1:16:03
  card with any pip or an amber pip turning to drop it, redraw the
• 1:16:08
  conduction and win, right, And I discarded my artifact control earlier because I'm
• 1:16:15
  like, he doesn't key cheet. It's faith just totally Like I looked at
• 1:16:19
  the cards, I saw the card. It's totally my fault, just a
• 1:16:23
  huge punt because like too much, too many decks, too much drink.
• 1:16:31
  Not no, I drink very little, but it is like delirious starting to
• 1:16:38
  feel on Sunday. Yeah alrighty So unfortunately Ships gets bounced and that leads to
• 1:16:47
  a Melisma and Syth, and Milisma was my one other loss, yep,
• 1:16:56
  and Syth takes down Alliance, getting to the getting to the real uh what
• 1:17:02
  do we call this? The real mut and potatoes? Like as soon as
• 1:17:08
  that started, then we could start ARCon because the right players were out or
• 1:17:15
  something. Yeah, I know they were paying attention like who was out,
• 1:17:18
  who was in? So that he could get more things moving. Oh they
• 1:17:21
  didn't. Oh if we did the top four round of Alliance, and then
• 1:17:28
  after the top four round of Alliance we switched to the top eight round of
• 1:17:32
  ARCon because Melisma was in both and Melisma got knocked Melissma and Gorlami got knocked
• 1:17:41
  out in the top eight or Melisma got knocked out, so then Melisma and
• 1:17:46
  Sith could then start their Arkon or their Alliance Finals. Well, we continued
• 1:17:50
  the Arkon, so they like were switching which format we were playing because of
• 1:17:55
  how many people had double qualified to try to get it to maximize people playing
• 1:17:59
  at the same time, and it worked out very well. They did a
• 1:18:02
  good job with picking the things and it went all right. So yeah,
• 1:18:09
  well, and my Alliance deck, one of the pods was also in on
• 1:18:14
  Fathomable's arc On deck, so like it was quite the not of interwoven stuff
• 1:18:20
  between both format. Weird if we only had this weird thing where we could
• 1:18:25
  reprint decks and make it so that multiple decks could be a multiple events,
• 1:18:33
  well, I mean you talk about that. I think the piece that stood
• 1:18:36
  out for me again is with san Antonio running back to back. We had
• 1:18:44
  three triple Crown winners again, and you can come up with whatever your title
• 1:18:47
  is, saving that till the end, but I'll go ahead now, I'm
• 1:18:50
  gonna totally throw this in. So congrats to doctor Sheep, Deckster are Unfeathible,
• 1:18:57
  and then gor LAMI guys, it's just impressive to be able to make
• 1:19:01
  three three events and to be able to take top eight in each of them.
• 1:19:04
  So well done. Sheep took top four in all of them. I
• 1:19:13
  had to one up walk. Oh so you had to get nothing a little
• 1:19:17
  bit better. So he actually won and he has access to that's different that
• 1:19:26
  we're not talking about that, but I mean, but we're are going to
• 1:19:30
  talk about that. So we get to the top four, which is Draftscore,
• 1:19:33
  Odd Monster, uh I lost, Unfathomable and Cheap. We have three
• 1:19:43
  quarters of the top four in our common team ac. Yeah. And at
• 1:19:49
  one time Sunday fed me bad information. I thought Sheep was playing odd Monster
• 1:19:56
  and Fathomable was playing uh dras Core, and I just like I had seen
• 1:20:03
  or heard Sheep win. So I was like, oh, it's an OLISS
• 1:20:08
  finals, and I think Orlami has given me ship And I was like,
• 1:20:12
  what do you mean, Like do the math bro like if Sheep's in the
• 1:20:15
  other two are both a part of tv AC, it's an all tv AC
• 1:20:18
  finals. What are you talking about? Only to find out that's not at
• 1:20:23
  all. It was Unfathomable and odd Monster and and Sheep and drast go dras
• 1:20:31
  uh yeah according to the songs and uh yeah five turns and I did not
• 1:20:42
  I did not hit the gas out of the gate and fraud definitely did and
• 1:20:46
  it was over. Yeah, so our game was done super quick yep.
• 1:20:53
  So then like I know I'm in the finals. I'm pacy, right,
• 1:20:56
  So I'm just constantly walking around, which means I keep walking by the odd
• 1:21:00
  monster on Fathomable game right, and you can't help but look at it,
• 1:21:03
  right because you're walking by it, And like, I'm seeing them do play
• 1:21:09
  mistakes. So I say something because like they're they are missing triggers, and
• 1:21:15
  I got yelled at, Yeah, well you didn't just we should It is
• 1:21:19
  fine, but I like, I'm just like I'm walking them like they're doing
• 1:21:23
  some stuff and they're missing a scrap effect. I'm like, scrap a fact.
• 1:21:27
  And then I got I got yelled at. You didn't just get yelled
• 1:21:30
  at. What did you actually get? She? I got the formal warning.
• 1:21:35
  It does know how to deliver formal warnings, but only the arcons corner
• 1:21:40
  on formal warning. You know what, what's a vault to her without a
• 1:21:48
  warning? If you don't got a warning, you know you're not trying to
• 1:21:51
  you know, I didn't see that in the in the players meeting that you
• 1:21:56
  know, maybe maybe it's one of the un I was. I was,
• 1:22:00
  I mean, I should have pointed out to Josh and let him get it,
• 1:22:02
  but he missed it too because he was watching over that game. I
• 1:22:05
  should have quietly pointed it out to him, but he had he had an
• 1:22:11
  eye open from all the drinking from the night previous. I had to go
• 1:22:14
  to like another part of the room and not move because I can't. You
• 1:22:17
  know, like what I'm watching. You see all the mistakes, and you're
• 1:22:21
  like, mistake, mistake. I'm not even like, oh, is that
• 1:22:26
  like when you're watching me and I'm trying a near future lens and like I
• 1:22:30
  haven't like put my card at the speed of light, so you're gonnat a
• 1:22:32
  little irritating because I don't. So you don't know what the top card of
• 1:22:36
  my deck is because I'm literally taking it off to play it using the near
• 1:22:40
  future lens and it's not and it hasn't immediately told you yeah, card players
• 1:22:49
  layer, and you still haven't flipped it over. I'll flip it. I'm
• 1:22:53
  getting there, Like I'm getting there. I'm looking at the chat right now
• 1:22:58
  and Dexter's claim saying that they were doing it correctly and you were just they
• 1:23:05
  were already on to the next thing. You say, so I gave him
• 1:23:13
  a brief period of time, just brief, so then you get to see
• 1:23:23
  unfathomable against doctor Sheep ends up being in all A finals anyways, So suck
• 1:23:29
  it, Gloriami corlabi plate great, say that what he gave me. And
• 1:23:38
  now given the big dog ship, you don't give the dogs ship. You
• 1:23:42
  don't give the big dog where's that? Where? Where is that sleeve?
• 1:23:49
  This is my yard? Okayeh, where's Carla sleeves? Does he have any
• 1:23:53
  sleeves? D This is my yard? All right? So suck it Gla,
• 1:24:00
  I mean saying it again. Stick and so sheep ship takes it down.
• 1:24:13
  It was a to one match. And like that second game, dexter
• 1:24:17
  roddeld me really, oh my goodness. Game two. I was just like
• 1:24:24
  I'm just watching the game isn't over and I can't e wok it. I'm
• 1:24:27
  just like this game is over. I don't want to see this anymore.
• 1:24:30
  I was like I can see, let's go on. Like that's how destroyed
• 1:24:33
  I was in that second game, and like yeah again, being so tired.
• 1:24:38
  The emotions are so high to so low. It's like the first game.
• 1:24:42
  The first game against US was super duper tight, right, we're both
• 1:24:45
  we're both getting towards Keith three. All kinds of stuff is happening, and
• 1:24:49
  I squeak it out. Game two is just I'm just trounced, Like it
• 1:24:55
  does not matter. I'm just I don't see how you're saying that. This
• 1:24:58
  is like me, I went ahead and conceded to June when I was being
• 1:25:01
  throttled in my own second game, the first game that was there too,
• 1:25:05
  so I under see. But you're typically maximizing your key forge time. I
• 1:25:09
  like my key forge time. And then game three was the complete opposite,
• 1:25:13
  Like Fraud did all of the fraud things. It did the most fraud things
• 1:25:16
  I've ever seen it do. Yeah, Game three was like, oh,
• 1:25:19
  this is how Fraud's supposed to play. Yeah, when sadly Dexter was he's
• 1:25:26
  low on C in his deck, He's playing, and I was able to
• 1:25:30
  land the logos creatures early, and you take a few turns with logo screechers
• 1:25:33
  and fraud where you filter down to just Mars cards and a ton of them
• 1:25:38
  and then you just go bananas. So that was, you know, like
• 1:25:44
  he basically did just you know, like I got to play my Solitaire game
• 1:25:46
  that game, but it was good, like it was tough fights, it's
• 1:25:55
  good games throughout and and x try and I sat down at the beginning and
• 1:26:03
  I talked him into playing Browning, which he went top eight at world with
• 1:26:06
  Browning. He was like eighth and I was fifth with Fraud, right,
• 1:26:11
  and I'm like, the story we're gonna tell here is we're gonna sit down
• 1:26:14
  and we're both gonna go two with our top eight decks from Worlds, and
• 1:26:18
  then we're gonna be able to tell the story of that's how busted gr is
• 1:26:23
  is that decks that went top eight at Worlds last year can't even o two
• 1:26:26
  a relatively small arc on field. And x rays mad at me. No
• 1:26:31
  oh yeah. I actually went on a diatribe and the discard saying like,
• 1:26:34
  won't screw that. I'm just gonna buy a couple of blocks of gr and
• 1:26:40
  beat everybody. I think he bought some cases, like he like he just
• 1:26:45
  went home from this event and he just bought a ton of decks. This
• 1:26:51
  is the way. This is the way. This is the way of x
• 1:26:55
  Ray. Yes, alrighty, So congratulations to all of the topic finalists,
• 1:27:00
  Congratulations to all the winners. Congratulations to our triple crown people. I'm gonna
• 1:27:05
  cough hey and special special place decks unfathomable. You have a special spot in
• 1:27:14
  my heart. We own a very very unique category in keyboards history, triple
• 1:27:20
  ground winners that don't have a spot at Worlds. Thank you, gg.
• 1:27:29
  I was gonna ask another chance if you want. I was gonna say,
• 1:27:32
  this is the point where cries about it again. But yeah, it was,
• 1:27:36
  we got it. Maybe listen every time, every time. It wasn't
• 1:27:42
  until one day that it dawned on me that I had a seat in world
• 1:27:47
  didn't even sink into my brain until well, it's not that you have a
• 1:27:53
  you have a seat in Worlds. You have a deck Fraud that's going to
• 1:27:58
  be published in in a special border. You have a sweet trophy. How
• 1:28:03
  is that trophy? Sheep? The trophies are vaporware ye, And where are
• 1:28:11
  the trophies? Where are the trophies? And you get to and you get
• 1:28:15
  to go to a special special unique events where the trophies all in this in
• 1:28:24
  the get I get the Vault Warrior title and the story of Fraud continues.
• 1:28:32
  Like the two things that mattered to me, the title and stacking it on
• 1:28:38
  fraud. I just want to know where the trophies are. I just want
• 1:28:44
  to say that palet somewhere between Philadelphia and Minneapolis. Okay, so Josh respotted
• 1:28:53
  in the chair. The trophies are in China on a Chinese slow boat.
• 1:28:57
  I just want to say this. By slow boat, he really means it
• 1:29:00
  is one chinaman throwing a canoe across. I thought that was actually the boat
• 1:29:08
  you walk was trying to fix the motor and dropped another. To be honest
• 1:29:13
  with you, maybe who else it's on the whatever the uss slow walk slow?
• 1:29:17
  Oh? Sure, Josh, give us a picture of what it's supposed
• 1:29:23
  to look like. I don't believe you that it does. It is top
• 1:29:31
  drink? Is this a decanter? We might have more interest, Josh.
• 1:29:36
  I just want to say this. If you need some designing trophies that you'll
• 1:29:42
  get in like a week and a half, let me know. Let me
• 1:29:46
  know. I designed a fucking title belt and got it to San Antonio.
• 1:29:51
  Hey, where is that title belt? Though? Sir? Unfortunately I believe
• 1:29:56
  it's with Josh because you didn't get back. It wasn't my fault there,
• 1:30:03
  it's on his palette. But it might and that thing got me inspected.
• 1:30:10
  I have t s A pre checked and that thing got me searched hard.
• 1:30:14
  That's not my fault. I asked, was faults to make out of plastic
• 1:30:20
  sheep? Talk more about this. They went ahead and searched you. Oh
• 1:30:27
  yeah they are. You're very questionable all my stuff. And then of course,
• 1:30:33
  like it was a clever packing to get everything in that bag with that
• 1:30:38
  stupid tidle belt. Oh did they wreck it? So all of my snack
• 1:30:42
  bars were crushed? All your stack bars. Sounds like you guys went to
• 1:30:47
  BUCkies enough you alone, though, Like we had to leave our luggage in
• 1:30:53
  the back of the in the back car for the first day on Friday,
• 1:31:00
  and it was so hot our underwear melted. Yea, it was. It
• 1:31:05
  was awful degrees in Texas and our banks had to sit in the back of
• 1:31:11
  a car for twelve hours. What are your underwear made of? They melted?
• 1:31:15
  Were they made of the edible underwear? Yeah? What are they made
• 1:31:19
  of? Fruit? Roll up? Melted? Solid? Can I go back?
• 1:31:32
  That is what I was going to go back to the bedtime story.
• 1:31:35
  Yeah, did you say edible or edible vault ondies? I think that's I
• 1:31:41
  think that's what you're gonna see at the time. Edible vault on thees look
• 1:31:46
  drastcours shared that couch with me. Oh yeah, oh yeah, that's a
• 1:31:51
  good time. Do you guys bring each other's hair too, or a little
• 1:31:56
  bit? A little bit couch? You drove back to Houston? Yep,
• 1:32:02
  YEPA went back to Houston. What is meat sweats? Oh the meat sweats?
• 1:32:08
  You haven't wait wait, you've never had meat sweats before? Well,
• 1:32:12
  I mean I need a little more context here because this is all Well,
• 1:32:15
  so we're driving back and so of course we stop at the BUCkies again because
• 1:32:19
  that's all the time. But it was the worst BUCkies ever. It was.
• 1:32:25
  It was really bad. Like it took like twenty minutes to get to
• 1:32:30
  the gas pump, and like the guy like we're we're like inching for or
• 1:32:36
  inching far return and then like this right before us at the gas pump and
• 1:32:43
  like like it take us ten minutes to get that far and the guys like
• 1:32:45
  not there, not pumping gas, and uh, we're just waiting. There's
• 1:32:51
  cars behind us right going past, and so it was uh, finally they
• 1:32:57
  come out. I guess they had to pay cash or something. So like
• 1:33:00
  they pumped their gas, but then like they can't go anywhere because this huge
• 1:33:03
  RV is in front of them, so so like they want to get out,
• 1:33:09
  so like we have to like back up like into traffic so that the
• 1:33:14
  other vehicle could can get out so that we could go forward to get gas.
• 1:33:17
  It was that whole thing to like twenty thirty minutes get gas. It
• 1:33:21
  was forty minutes. We were at that BUCkies for over forty minutes to get
• 1:33:26
  gas. Yeah, was. And you want to talk about busy, That
• 1:33:31
  BUCkies was doubly as mad as the other one we went to. Yeah,
• 1:33:35
  it was. It was like, how was that? If that's how BUCkies
• 1:33:40
  were, I would never go back to one. It was. It was
• 1:33:43
  pretty outrageous. That's just how that BUCkies was. But what did they got
• 1:33:45
  to do with meat sweats? Well, so we were debating do we eat
• 1:33:49
  just like something at BUCkies or do we go to a restaurant in Houston,
• 1:33:56
  which which you know we were basically we just did before we got to the
• 1:34:00
  BUCkies that we're gonna eat in Houston, Okay, yep. And then we're
• 1:34:03
  at this BUCkies for forty plus minutes before we leave there which is now putting
• 1:34:10
  us back in Houston on a Sunday night at like a little after seven,
• 1:34:16
  ok. And everything in Houston closes, yeah, like the stuff as man
• 1:34:25
  Zach's all closes at like eight oh and we wouldn't get back to their area
• 1:34:30
  until like seven forty five. So it's not an option to go anywhere over
• 1:34:34
  there. So we had to scramble to figure out where we're eating and we
• 1:34:44
  end up finding well, it wasn't I forget the name of the place.
• 1:34:50
  It was basically still so there you go. So it's basically like a fo
• 1:34:55
  go to chow. So it's like, you know, they walk around with
• 1:34:58
  meat and shave it off for you. A full on Brazilian steakhouse. Yes,
• 1:35:02
  which seems found by putting in all of our requirements into chat GPT,
• 1:35:08
  and that's how we found our He does love him some chat GPT. I'll
• 1:35:12
  tell him that he's very creative. It delivered and we ate so much meat.
• 1:35:19
  It was absolutely amazing. Yes, this is the this is the only
• 1:35:28
  way to leave Texas. I I have had multiple meat sweats in Texas.
• 1:35:33
  It is there, man, we went to war on that meat like we
• 1:35:36
  were actually only at that restaurant for an hour, but the amount we all
• 1:35:41
  crammed into our holes. Oh yeah, it was good. Actually put us
• 1:35:45
  all the shame, like he did not say no, Like the meat guy
• 1:35:50
  came a dress like bring it on, I like to put my thing red.
• 1:35:55
  And they keep coming by anyway, do you want this? Like yeah,
• 1:36:00
  do you want this? Yeah? This is why I love you Jazz.
• 1:36:06
  We got to hang out more. This is where I'm at. We
• 1:36:13
  ate and yeah it was. It was very good, moderately expensive, but
• 1:36:18
  fantastic. Yeah. Yeah, And we drove the whole way with Cardboard Sheep
• 1:36:24
  in the back of the car. Cardboard Sheep had some some Texas attire and
• 1:36:30
  got some some love on stream too. Oh right, so yeah, so
• 1:36:34
  so we gave we gave Sheep bandana Texas bandana. Uh. And so when
• 1:36:41
  Sheep was playing, we brought Sheep into the streaming room with us. But
• 1:36:45
  then in the first match between Unfathomable and Sheep, like you know, Sheep
• 1:36:51
  did so well, they were like, hold on a second, I think
• 1:36:58
  Cardboard Sheep is relaying in information to doctor Sheep. So we went and took
• 1:37:01
  the bandana, put it over Cardboard Sheep's face, over his eyes, so
• 1:37:05
  he couldn't see the match that we were streaming, couldn't relay the message once
• 1:37:10
  you know it, Unfoundable wins the round two match, right, you did
• 1:37:15
  that for the third game whatever, and then my story is better, and
• 1:37:20
  so that story is better. But uh, and so I won't I won't
• 1:37:29
  doubt your stories better. But that's not the way you guys did it.
• 1:37:31
  Whatever, that's how I remember it. Yeah, that's usually how it is
• 1:37:34
  probably wrong, so we uh. And also Josh threw the chat here cardboard
• 1:37:43
  Sheep also accepted doctor Sheep's the top four mat. Uh, so Sheep didn't
• 1:37:50
  come up to accept it itself. Just PLoP the Doctor Sheep the cardboard Sheep
• 1:37:55
  up there, and here's Josh holding the mat and a very sheep thing to
• 1:38:00
  do and be like, yes, I'm busy, just use the cardboard,
• 1:38:02
  dude. Here here's what I can't wait for your photo except Sheep accepting the
• 1:38:12
  acceptance speech for the well, there was a different photo for what he he
• 1:38:16
  won the for what he want one the first place. Bat and Shep,
• 1:38:24
  you were I will tell tell me what you were thinking about as you walked
• 1:38:27
  up to accept accept that he wanted to go ahead and be more impressive than
• 1:38:32
  I was at Worlds Ever, everybody clowns their photos, so I had to
• 1:38:39
  clown my photo. H He puts on the but in a sheep fashion.
• 1:38:45
  Yeah, it seems like up there rubbing his face up and down, like
• 1:38:47
  rub and rub and rub, and I'm doing and then he puts on like
• 1:38:51
  the biggest scowl I remember see it for his winter photo with Josh. Marcus
• 1:39:01
  is taking the pictures and he's like he's like rubbing his nipple trying to get
• 1:39:05
  me to smirk, and I'm just or just for fun baby wow. Okay,
• 1:39:15
  maybe he's just doing it for cas alrighty, So Monday, yeah,
• 1:39:27
  fly out Monday. What happened Monday? Everybody two thirty in the morning with
• 1:39:32
  the worst leg cramp I have ever had? Oh Am, I du like
• 1:39:39
  on a little bit unsuspecting to zach Is. While we were gone, his
• 1:39:44
  sister and his sister's kids show up at his house to stay for the weekend
• 1:39:46
  too. Oh so this is why Drazz ended up snuggling me on the couch.
• 1:39:54
  Maybe he wanted to. And so I wake up with this leg cramp
• 1:40:00
  and you know, you want to scream, but there's a there's a four
• 1:40:02
  year old, and I don't know how the cousin was, and all these
• 1:40:08
  people that don't know me, and this lake gramp was beyond brutal. I
• 1:40:14
  don't know, it's probably only a minute, but you know, it's like
• 1:40:16
  just a minute laying there and agony until I finally managed to get it loose
• 1:40:21
  enough that I can move and get my lake cramp to go away. But
• 1:40:26
  it's so bad. And then went and threw up. That's how bad the
• 1:40:30
  lake gramp was. That I threw up. It made you throw up.
• 1:40:34
  That's how bad the bain was. It was unbelievably bad. I then limped
• 1:40:41
  for the next three days because that lake cramp was unbelievable. You looked fine
• 1:40:47
  on Tuesday. I wouldn't even have known. I was, yeah, a
• 1:40:54
  little bit, but all right? But what else happened? On Monday?
• 1:40:59
  We flew home, Oh not even got hit by the hail. Oh no,
• 1:41:04
  we got out in time. You got you both, You both got
• 1:41:08
  out in time. We got out of hell just in time for the day
• 1:41:12
  loge and the On Tuesday there was groundings and in Houston, and then we
• 1:41:20
  got hailed on going to key Forge on Tuesday, though we sure did.
• 1:41:25
  And what else did you get? On Tuesday? I got a sweet celebration
• 1:41:30
  quake cake? You sure did. What did that cake say? It said
• 1:41:33
  thirty six? And all I got was this lousy cake. He did get
• 1:41:40
  a lousy cake, and we all ate cake. I'm still eating cake.
• 1:41:43
  I'm sure you are. It was a small cake too, with that big
• 1:41:47
  kind of cake. It's a della cake, yeah, said eat broth cake.
• 1:41:54
  It was excellent. It was nice. And then we played key Forge
• 1:41:58
  with cake, and somehow we all got home before nine o'clock. Well maybe
• 1:42:03
  not all of us, but I know I did. It was like nine
• 1:42:05
  to fifteen. What time you should have? It only takes like fifteen minutes
• 1:42:12
  ski from my house to your house? Maybe twenty? No, okay,
• 1:42:18
  got it all right? Oh no, no, no, no, no
• 1:42:25
  play at board game Sunday night. Okay. I drowned them all on that
• 1:42:29
  too. Oh jeez, played the clank clank, I clanked it out.
• 1:42:35
  Sounds familiar. Yeah he was trapped man, Yeah, sheep on that.
• 1:42:42
  I escaped the I think noble one was knocked out above ground. Z was
• 1:42:48
  trapped underground and had zero points. Wait, brand hold that hold? That
• 1:42:56
  is this the Clank from Renegade Studios. Yeah, yeah, that sheep.
• 1:43:00
  What is what is clinic? Do you know what clank is? Classified?
• 1:43:02
  Ass? It's a deck builder? Yeah, I don't mind deck builders.
• 1:43:12
  What what are you done a board that goes with it? Or what's the
• 1:43:17
  don't like deck construction games like deck builders? Just fine? What is the
• 1:43:27
  difference between construction and building? Please explain that. Construction in modern terminology are
• 1:43:36
  games like Magic and Star Wars c cgs where you construct your deck before you
• 1:43:45
  play the games. Deck Builders are games that, through the gameplay, you're
• 1:43:49
  modifying building a deck, and it doesn't typically have permanency between games. Okay,
• 1:43:59
  I'll take that. Builders Construction Sunday likes it give be a really hard
• 1:44:04
  time when I fix them up because he's young and uses different words than me.
• 1:44:10
  No, No, that's never mind. Yeah, no, I I
• 1:44:15
  didn't. Okay, So this is more of a you are gaining cards as
• 1:44:18
  you play the game. Yeah, it makes that makes more sense because I
• 1:44:24
  almost had an aneurysm about two seconds ago. I think that does it for
• 1:44:30
  this week, right, we went through everything. We saw the sweet key
• 1:44:34
  Fords trophies that are probably at the bottom of whatever Ocean. They were coming
• 1:44:38
  from right next to the DT decks, right Australia. I don't think they
• 1:44:44
  realized how lucky they got. No Australia are the DT decks that never surface
• 1:44:54
  Australia because they never got the DT decks. So they still have all that
• 1:44:57
  money. Yeah, I mean see, what's what's still shocking to me is
• 1:45:05
  like you can still get a box of ALA cheaper than you can get DT.
• 1:45:10
  I guess it's just it's rare. See huh yeah, yeah, except
• 1:45:15
  ET is apparently not very rare because Josh shares an office with like a ten
• 1:45:18
  thousand boxes or something. Yeah, that's thrown made of DT. That's his
• 1:45:25
  work chairs DT just DT decks. His chair doesn't slide it out. It's
• 1:45:30
  the desk that doesn't. It's called adjustable office furniture. And you just deck
• 1:45:35
  the boxes as needed desk if he needs a high desk, a low desk,
• 1:45:41
  two chairs, three chairs, whatever, he just changes how he sacks
• 1:45:44
  the DT boxes. I don't think Josh has a desk. I'm going straight
• 1:45:49
  up. He's just got a laptop that can go wherever he is. It's
• 1:45:54
  a desk of boxes. I don't I don't even think it's a I don't
• 1:45:57
  even think it's a makeshift decks to boxes. I think maybe he just not
• 1:46:00
  an actual desk. It's boxes that form a desk. Yes, that's still
• 1:46:04
  a desk, right, but forms a desk, it's a desk. I
• 1:46:09
  think he just sits on the pallettes out back. Just I'll share my Josh
• 1:46:16
  theories later. He has a whole cubicle. Oh man, I need to
• 1:46:21
  get you assigned eight by time we can hang it up in your cubicle.
• 1:46:28
  But that is going to do it for us this week? Oh boy,
• 1:46:30
  WoT an hour and forty five minutes. Hey, there was a once in
• 1:46:34
  a lifetime opportunity for sheep that we need to celebrate. It was. We
• 1:46:40
  had a good time saying I can't win again. Pretty much probably the answer
• 1:46:46
  to the question that you just asked is, yes, we don't believe you
• 1:46:49
  could do it again. This is proof blind squirrels, fine nuts. If
• 1:46:54
  you just keep going to vault tours, you too become a vault tour cheap.
• 1:46:58
  If you spend thirty six one hundred dollars, I win, and I
• 1:47:02
  could have either learned from Z or Nova, which Nova is like you just
• 1:47:06
  go to vaults and you win. Or there's a Z approach, which did
• 1:47:10
  you just keep going until you until you win. I'm definitely a Z type
• 1:47:16
  of player. Just spend thirty six hundred dollars on your favorite deck, go
• 1:47:23
  to every vault tour you possibly can, and eventually you'll find one that you
• 1:47:27
  win. Unless it's you too, would like to win a vault to her.
• 1:47:32
  There is a deck that could be purchased and with just fifteen or so
• 1:47:39
  vaults on it, you too could maybe win. You could be a part
• 1:47:43
  of Legacy Vault. It only took like eight. I thought this was Fraud's
• 1:47:51
  third. Oh no, this is Fraud now has three vault to her wins.
• 1:47:57
  It is the only deck with three vault to our wins. Yes,
• 1:48:00
  oh yes, we're Where'd you say eight? What was the eight from?
• 1:48:03
  It took me? What? Eight tries? Oh? Eight tries? Got
• 1:48:06
  it? Got it? So you're one for eight? What I guess it
• 1:48:11
  was only five last year, So I guess this is technically only six.
• 1:48:15
  So you're at one point six sixteen percent. Pretty good. I mean,
• 1:48:21
  if you're if you're if you're in the UH, if you're in Major League
• 1:48:27
  Baseball, you're probably not even on the Triple A squad. But anyways,
• 1:48:32
  long story short, that's gonna do it for this week. Congratulations to Sheep,
• 1:48:36
  Congratulations to all the winners, and we will see you all at the
• 1:48:44
  Forge and everyone, may the Forge be with you. If I'm a last
• 1:49:00
  drink boof, just like that, no background, break it down. Sometimes
• 1:49:04
  I wonder what the old means say because you can see the way shit is
• 1:49:10
  doing. He'd probably say that everythingsing day, like me, what's my name?
• 1:49:16
  What's my name name,
