• 0:16
  SPEAKER_00: Now, everyone gather around and listen to one of Hamilton's best podcasts.
• 0:22
  SPEAKER_00: No research to back this up.
• 0:25
  SPEAKER_00: Your host, Michael Gillespie.
• 0:29
  SPEAKER_01: These kids today are out of control.
• 0:31
  SPEAKER_01: I say that in every every sense of the word.
• 0:35
  SPEAKER_01: These kids are out of control.
• 0:37
  SPEAKER_01: Now, you may be like, what the heck are you talking about?
• 0:40
  SPEAKER_01: Which is why you're here at the podcast.
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_01: The thing that I'm trying to establish today or try to teach you or trying to give you this slice of life is we don't talk smack if you win, right?
• 0:55
  SPEAKER_01: Your efforts in the victory is enough for you to gloat and brag about.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_01: What I'm talking about today is the video game aspect of it.
• 1:05
  SPEAKER_01: Video games today, it's quick for these P these kids, these kids to quickly reach out to you and say, hey, you suck, or hey, you know, you need to do better, or hey, you should oh, I love this one.
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_01: You should just quit the game, never pick up the game again because you suck so bad.
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_01: And I'll be like, man, that's the boldest thing you can say to me just because you got one win on me.
• 1:25
  SPEAKER_01: Now, back in my day, we didn't have that option, right?
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_01: There was no talking in video games till at least early 2000s.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_01: And I could be wrong about that.
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_01: I am an old school gamer, right?
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_01: That's me.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_01: I played Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Final Fantasy VII.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_01: That was that was my era of video games.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_01: And that at that time, there was no talking.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_01: There was no talking online, no messaging your opponent saying you suck and all that stuff.
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_01: Why are you bringing this up, Michael?
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_01: And the thing is that I've been playing Fortnite lately, right?
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_01: And uh zero build.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_01: Fortnite zero build.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_01: That's my thing.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_01: And so I do solo and I do I do decent in solo, you know, oh, you know, above 50.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_01: If I get above 50, that means I'm doing good.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_01: Occasionally I have a 89, 75, because there's some punks out there.
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_01: They like to shoot me when I'm not paying attention or have my back turned.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but occasionally I do good in solo.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_01: So now I've moved on to doing duos.
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_01: And for the first part of me playing duos, I didn't have my mic on because again, this generation is out of control with the talking, the trolling, the talking.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_01: I don't, I don't have it.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_01: My examples of not talking smack and letting my work do the talking for me was NFL running back Barry Sanders.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_01: Barry Sanders scored touchdowns a lot.
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_01: And he never, I don't recall a time where Barry Sanders actually celebrated.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_01: What I recall is Barry Sanders scoring a touchdown and throwing the ball to the referee.
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_01: That was it.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_01: And it's like, you expect me to score again, so therefore, I'm not gonna celebrate.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna hand you the ball, I'll be back next time.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_01: Same thing with Michael Jordan.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_01: Now, this is before the last dance that I didn't know Michael Jordan was talking ass smack.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_01: Again, I'm watching it on TV.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_01: I barely see Michael Jordan talk.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_01: Unless like you mess with him, you mess with one of his teammates or something like that.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_01: He get in your face.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_01: Uh pay attention to the New York Knicks back in 1993.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_01: That's the time where I saw Michael Jordan really talking to Smack, but that was when he was in a tough series against the Knicks game.
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_01: I think it went seven, actually.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_01: That was the talking that I saw.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_01: But most of those, those two examples was saying, hey, my work would do the talking, you just sit back and chill.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_01: I got this.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_01: Right?
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_01: So fast forward to today, to today's age, these kids talk so much junk.
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_01: And it's ridiculously crazy.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_01: So the prime example again is like I play duos with uh and it's Fortnite, Zero Build.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_01: You gotta remember, Zero Build.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_01: And no making no daggone cabin out of the middle of nowhere, just so you can climb up so you can avoid getting shot at.
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_01: I hate that.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_01: That's that idea is stupid.
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_01: But I digress.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_01: I'm playing duos, I turn my mic on, and I get this kid.
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, alright, again, I'm a little older, so you know, I'm just playing the play.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_01: It's duos, which means I got your back, you got my back.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_01: Also, added to it, I have military experience.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_01: Now, does this military experience apply to this game?
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_01: Absolutely not, okay?
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_01: Let's let's get that clear.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, military experience does not count, okay?
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_01: Just guns and advice or advancement.
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_01: Prime example, you don't go into the main city to start the game.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_01: No, you start from the outskirts and slowly work your way in.
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_01: Duh.
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_01: Get your resources, get your shields, get your guns, then slowly work your way inside.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_01: That's how it typically works, right?
• 5:09
  SPEAKER_01: So, rewinding time, or this one event that I had, the kid goes in, he's like, let's go to this city.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, all right, you know, I'm not here to argue.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_01: We're working a team.
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not gonna use my military experience.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna follow this guy's lead.
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_01: Mind you, he has to be no older than 12 or 13.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_01: You can hear it in his voice.
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_02: It's real high, like, come on, dude, let's go to Frenzy Fields or something.
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_01: That's his voice pattern, right?
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_01: So I'm like, okay, let's just let's just let the let the boy cook and let's see what happens.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_01: So we get there and we're about maybe a couple meters apart.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_01: No big deal.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_01: I can see him, he can see me.
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_01: He darts off to this place where if you get in the inner circle and you stay there for like 60 seconds, you get a plethora of weapons, ammo, shields, da da da da da.
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_01: I don't go with him.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_01: Right?
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_01: I don't.
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_01: There's a house, it's pretty much abandoned.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_01: Go in there and start.
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_01: Now, if he stays in that circle, he gets a better choice of what better grade of weapons, right?
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_01: So he goes, darts off to the circle, and I go to the house.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_01: I get my generic guns, some shields, a fish, so I can, you know, replenish my shields in case something happens.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_01: Mind you, this circle, there's a hundred people in this, in this game.
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_01: And this highlighted area is a circle where all the good weapons and stuff is.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_01: It's gonna be what we call a hot zone, or what I call hot zone.
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_01: This hot zone is gonna have people coming at it to get those same weapons that my partner is trying to get.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_01: Nevertheless, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, he gets shot and he's down.
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_01: So when you lose all your health, you're down, you're crawling on your hands and knees trying to cover.
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_02: He's yelling at me on the microphone saying, Come get me, come get me, come get me.
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_02: My military experience kicks in.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_02: It's a hot zone.
• 7:07
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not coming to get you right now, but I'll come get you later.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_02: Now, the whole time he's on my, I got the I got my headphones on, he's yelling, dude, why didn't you come get me?
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_01: Why didn't you why didn't you come get me?
• 7:20
  SPEAKER_01: God, you you gotta get me.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_01: Because if he dies, he loses all his weapons and he turns into a card.
• 7:26
  SPEAKER_01: So I gotta swoop in, grab the card, go to a van, reboot his butt, and then he's back in it with the set with a generic pistol.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_01: So he's all in my ear screaming, come get me, come get me, dude.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_02: You suck at this game, come get me.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_02: But you're dead.
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_02: You are about to turn into a car in the next 20 seconds, and you're calling me?
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_02: Like, why do I su why do I suck?
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_02: I'm still alive.
• 7:50
  SPEAKER_02: I'm hiding in the house.
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_01: I can see out the window.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_01: You are a car now.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_01: Now I have 220 seconds to come get you before you're completely out of the game.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_01: And he's going off in my ear.
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_01: Hey, dude, what are you doing?
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_01: Come get me.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_01: Come get me.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, dude, is this?
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_02: So I'm like, all right, forget it.
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_01: Again, I had my headphones on, I have my mic muted.
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_01: I I'm not gonna exchange dialogue because you know I'm grown.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_01: I'm a grown man.
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_01: You can't you can't talk to me like this.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_01: I'm grown.
• 8:19
  SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna say something back, but I'm not gonna send them back because I'm I'm above it.
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_01: So I swoop in, try to grab his card.
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_01: I successfully grab his card, but it's a trap.
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_01: Everybody's shooting at me, I'm dead.
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_01: So now the team is disrupted because we're both dead.
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_01: And it's like, dude, why, you know, like why were you cursing at me when you died first?
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_01: And he's like, you motherfucker, I can't believe it.
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_01: And mind you, he's 12, he has to be 12 years old.
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_01: Because his voice is real high.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_01: He's 12 years old.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_02: You motherfucker, I can't believe it.
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_02: You trash, you trash, you he's cussing at me and he's 12 years old.
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_01: I said, Yeah, I can't, I can't play with this.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_01: I can't play with this generation because he's going off.
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_01: But at the same token, this 12, 13-year-old that's cussing is like, do you kiss your mama with this type of mouth?
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_01: What's going on?
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_01: Not respectable at all.
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_01: Just hiding behind the internet.
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_01: Just it's just amazing how this generation is.
• 9:19
  SPEAKER_01: But some of the best success I have is with younger kids.
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, what?
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_01: This one kid on the microphone say, Hey, you got a mic?
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_01: You know, he's like, do the crowd, do the crouch thing.
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_01: If you got a mic, so do the crouch thing.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_01: He's like, oh, you can hear me.
• 9:33
  SPEAKER_01: So yeah.
• 9:33
  SPEAKER_01: So I turn my mic on, so yeah, man, I can hear you.
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_01: I gotta put my deep voice on, like, yeah, man, because I'm the adult here.
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_01: Oh I can hear you, man.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_01: What's up?
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_01: He said, Hey, let's work together.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, cool.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_01: I was like, you know, I'm like, and he's got the high voice too.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_02: You young, aren't you?
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_02: He's like, Yeah, you know, I'm about nine, eight, nine years old.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_02: I said, You eight, nine years old playing Fortnite?
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_02: I'm like, wow.
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_01: And this is one of the best successes I've had, other than these professional players that are just, you know, air jump, shoot, shoot, air, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, and just connecting every time.
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_01: I said, when do you ever jump and shoot at the same time?
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_01: I don't remember doing that in the military.
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_01: In fact, I laid down just to shoot good.
• 10:13
  SPEAKER_01: You know what I'm saying?
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_01: So this guy is just running, sliding, jump, air, shoot, shoot, shoot.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_01: That's the professionals.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_01: This this eight, nine-year-old is working together.
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_01: Hey, let's go to this bunker and you know, get stuff.
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, yo, this kid knows what he's doing.
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_01: Again, I don't, I don't, you know, take charge.
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_01: I don't I I might choose where we're landing from time to time, but uh I let him take charge, you know what I'm saying?
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_01: I got you back.
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_01: Because I at this point, his levels was lower than mine, so I had the experience level.
• 10:43
  SPEAKER_01: So I have his back.
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_01: He, you know, I would listen to directions.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_01: He's like, let's go here.
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_01: I go here.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_01: So let's go get do this, let's go do that.
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_01: Let's go get a bike, let's go get a bike, let's go jump on wolves and get a wolf.
• 10:53
  SPEAKER_01: Like, okay, we're doing that.
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_01: And we've had I had the most success listening to an eight-year-old.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_01: Let that sink in for a second.
• 11:00
  SPEAKER_01: The most success I've had was someone who is being chill instead of coming at me like, you suck, you can't do that.
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_01: He's like, hey man, let's just go here.
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_01: And normally, again, I don't interact with people because I think people are idiots, some of them.
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_01: And we did pretty well.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_01: We did second.
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_01: He's like, and when we got down to the like top five, top six or six remaining, six or seven remaining.
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_01: He's like, I've never been this far.
• 11:25
  SPEAKER_01: He was genuinely excited, I could hear it.
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_01: And eventually, I got caught in a storm and I died, and he kept going on.
• 11:31
  SPEAKER_01: I was, you know, doing the emotions portal.
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_01: You got this, man.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_01: You got this, man.
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_01: Just watch out.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_01: Get that potion.
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_01: Hey, man, grab you that machine gun.
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_01: You know?
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_01: And he finished, we finished in second.
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_01: So it goes to show you shouldn't talk smack online, especially in Fortnite.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_01: Another incident, another game that's I that I've spent four or five years playing.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_01: It's called Brahalla.
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_01: Brahalla is one of my favorite games to play.
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_01: Free to play, you know, you you got three rounds, you choose somebody, and um you have it out.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_01: Fight, whatever, blah, blah, blah.
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_01: So uh today, today, in fact, I'm playing this one guy.
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_01: Let's just call him Will.
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_01: I've played him twice before.
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_01: Now, at this juncture, I'm not playing for Elo, which is rank.
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not.
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_01: I'm playing just to get my uh battle pass complete.
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_01: So I get all my colors, because my colors are important.
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_01: I want all my characters to wear the same colors.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_01: Whatever.
• 12:29
  SPEAKER_01: It's my game, and this is how I play it.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_01: I play this dude once, and at this juncture, I have to play with weapon, I have to use weapons that I'm not 100% familiar with.
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_01: Blasters, cannons, slow weapons that take a while to attack.
• 12:44
  SPEAKER_01: I'm a I'm a gauntlet guitar guy.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_01: Quick, fast, boom, boom, boom, boom.
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_01: I got you.
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_01: So he beats me once.
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_01: Like, whatever.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_01: So we match up again, he beats me again.
• 12:54
  SPEAKER_01: Whatever.
• 12:54
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not really like competing.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_01: Again, let's rewind the track.
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_01: I've been playing this for about four or five years now.
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_01: I know what I'm doing.
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not playing.
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_01: So we get matched up a third time.
• 13:05
  SPEAKER_01: Mind you, but the first and second time, he's taunting.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_01: Again, shrugging the shoulders, doing a little dance, playing a little instrument.
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_01: It's like, okay, I mean, I let my my my gameplay do the talking for me.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_01: Barry Sanders, Michael Jordan.
• 13:20
  SPEAKER_01: That's how I learned how to play the game, right?
• 13:24
  SPEAKER_01: Let my work, let my gameplay do all the talking for me.
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_01: So, okay, it's our third time matching up.
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_01: Now I've remembered his name.
• 13:32
  SPEAKER_01: I got in this game, this game situation, I get to pick three different characters.
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_01: I pick uh two unfamiliar characters, I'm trying to get the battle pass, you know, I'm trying to get my colors, and then I got my boy Lucian.
• 13:45
  SPEAKER_01: Lucian has guitars.
• 13:47
  SPEAKER_01: Rest assured, I whoop his butt, right?
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_01: So he has the audacity to text me or DM me or whatever you want to call it through the app.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_01: Again, I don't talk smack.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_01: I play the game, I say we have a push a button, good it gives you the GGs, good game.
• 14:07
  SPEAKER_01: Good game player.
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_01: That's it.
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_01: That's all I that's all I do.
• 14:10
  SPEAKER_01: I don't talk smack.
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_01: I don't.
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_01: I don't talk smack.
• 14:13
  SPEAKER_01: So he he hits me up.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_01: Bound to win eventually.
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_01: That's what he says.
• 14:18

  SPEAKER_01: Room number.
• 15:14
  SPEAKER_01: Boom, he's there.
• 15:15
  SPEAKER_01: What happens?
• 15:17

  SPEAKER_01: Uh, I whooped him.

  SPEAKER_01: I straight whooped him.
• 15:27
  SPEAKER_01: And then he counts back.
• 15:28
  SPEAKER_01: Crazy sig spam.
• 15:30
  SPEAKER_01: Now he's saying I use the same move over and over and over and over again.
• 15:34
  SPEAKER_01: Which is not true.
• 15:35
  SPEAKER_01: Again, I've been playing this game for five years.
• 15:37
  SPEAKER_01: If you leave yourself open, I'm gonna use my best attack.
• 15:40
  SPEAKER_01: It's not my fault you don't you don't play smart.
• 15:43
  SPEAKER_01: You play stupid.

  SPEAKER_01: Now, now you're getting it.
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_01: You talk smack.
• 15:49
  SPEAKER_01: I'm talking smack back.
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_01: You are a professional choker.
• 15:51
  SPEAKER_01: Because he had me down.
• 15:52
  SPEAKER_01: He had me down, I think, two to one or three to one.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_01: He had all three of his characters have my one character.
• 15:59
  SPEAKER_01: Now my strategy is I say my best character for last.
• 16:03
  SPEAKER_01: That's my boy.
• 16:04
  SPEAKER_01: Whooped him, right?
• 16:05
  SPEAKER_01: He said, okay, beat him.
• 16:07
  SPEAKER_01: He's like, okay, run a real one.
• 16:10
  SPEAKER_01: So now he wants to have one character for three rounds.
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_01: Fine by me.
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_01: You don't made me angry.
• 16:17
  SPEAKER_01: I use my main character once, then I use my subcharacters.
• 16:21
  SPEAKER_01: My like I got a rank, I got a rank system with my all my characters, my legends in Brahalla.
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_01: So this one I got, you know, line it up, play my subcharacters, because he couldn't handle my main.
• 16:31
  SPEAKER_01: Whooped him, whooped him, whooped him.
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_01: Whooped him so much he what do you call it?
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_01: I guess you call it anger quit.
• 16:36
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know what you call it.
• 16:37
  SPEAKER_01: Because I don't do that.
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_01: Well, you just rage quit.
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_01: You just quit.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_01: Don't even say good game.
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_01: Don't even say nothing.
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_01: Just quit.
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_01: So I was like, I'm the courteous type.
• 16:45
  SPEAKER_01: I'm the courteous type.
• 16:46
  SPEAKER_01: I'd be like, hey man, GG, good game.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_01: Let my gameplay do the talking.
• 16:53
  SPEAKER_01: So I send it out to GG's, he ain't responded back.
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_01: Didn't expect him to, because I put the whooping on him.
• 16:58
  SPEAKER_01: I just goes to show in life, do not talk smack.
• 17:04
  SPEAKER_01: Period.
• 17:04
  SPEAKER_01: Just let your let your game, let your let your gameplay do the talking for you.
• 17:11
  SPEAKER_01: And that's all I'm saying.
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_01: You don't need to talk smack, because it's not needed.
• 17:15
  SPEAKER_01: Right?
• 17:16
  SPEAKER_01: Which brings me to the second topic of the day.
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_01: I love video games.
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_01: I'm pretty sure if you you are male, you you have a a love for video games.
• 17:29
  SPEAKER_01: I got so engrossed with video games is that it was a thing for me to get in a video game and then get engrossed in a video game.
• 17:39
  SPEAKER_01: So much that I would sit there and listen to Paul's music from the Battletoads for minutes because it was a banger.
• 17:47
  SPEAKER_01: I'm I'm not listening.
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_01: That was my thing, right?
• 18:00
  SPEAKER_01: That was my thing back in the day.
• 18:02
  SPEAKER_01: I had to had to listen to the Battletoads because I love Battletoads, right?
• 18:06
  SPEAKER_01: The music was the music was fire for video games, right?
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_01: So when uh when I started playing video games, I would get so engrossed with them that I would think I would think that I was in them.
• 18:19
  SPEAKER_01: Seriously.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_01: Seriously.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_01: For example, Mike Tyson's Punch Out.
• 18:23
  SPEAKER_01: When Mike Tyson's Punch Out came out, the main character's name is Little Mac.
• 18:27
  SPEAKER_01: Guess who was Little Mac?
• 18:29
  SPEAKER_01: Me.
• 18:31
  SPEAKER_01: Little Mac was a short dude and he fought everybody.
• 18:37
  SPEAKER_01: And there was no fear in Little Mac's heart.
• 18:40
  SPEAKER_01: Right?
• 18:40
  SPEAKER_01: He fought everybody, didn't matter what size, shape, just figure it out and fight him.
• 18:47
  SPEAKER_01: That's how I felt when I was growing up.
• 18:49
  SPEAKER_01: Because again, everybody wanna doubt me being, you know, the short kid in the neighborhood, not being the tallest, but I was quick.
• 18:58
  SPEAKER_01: And I guess I was powerful.
• 19:00
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I started, I hey, I ain't no punk.
• 19:03
  SPEAKER_01: You know what I'm saying?
• 19:04
  SPEAKER_01: So little Mac, I was little Mac.
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_01: So much that I got engrossed in it to the nth degree.
• 19:12
  SPEAKER_01: Like so bad.
• 19:13
  SPEAKER_01: So bad that it would, it would, I would block everything else out.
• 19:17
  SPEAKER_01: Everything else out.
• 19:19
  SPEAKER_01: Prime example, uh, like people were like, hey Mike, you wanna go outside?
• 19:23
  SPEAKER_01: Like, nah, I I'd rather just fight.
• 19:25
  SPEAKER_01: I'd rather learn and fight uh Glass Joe, figure out how to beat him.
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_01: I would I love this game, right?
• 19:36
  SPEAKER_01: So I would fight Glass Joe as opposed to going out.
• 19:40
  SPEAKER_01: And this mind you I'm a I'm a teenager.
• 19:43
  SPEAKER_01: I'd rather sit down and play some Glass Joe.
• 19:47
  SPEAKER_01: Playing.
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_01: Fighting.
• 19:50
  SPEAKER_01: Learning this game.
• 19:53
  SPEAKER_01: And this was serious for me.
• 19:55
  SPEAKER_01: I would, I would, it would get to a point.
• 19:59
  SPEAKER_01: Oh no.
• 20:00
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you know what happened.
• 20:03
  SPEAKER_01: Glass Joe went night night.
• 20:06
  SPEAKER_01: Okay?
• 20:06
  SPEAKER_01: This was my thing.
• 20:08
  SPEAKER_01: I loved Mike Tyson's punch out.
• 20:10
  SPEAKER_01: I used to I would play it all the time.
• 20:16
  SPEAKER_01: So much, I just it was just it was great for me.
• 20:19
  SPEAKER_01: That I would not this was no, there was no other functions for me.
• 20:23
  SPEAKER_01: I would learn every aspect of Mike Tyson's punch out.
• 20:29
  SPEAKER_01: If it was Glass Joe, Von Kaiser, we fight, and I would learn every aspect of the game.
• 20:39
  SPEAKER_01: And there was and it the thing with Mike Tyson that taught me things about life, that there are patterns to people.
• 20:48
  SPEAKER_01: You just have to figure it out.
• 20:50
  SPEAKER_01: Don't ask me why this to this day, it still sticks with me.
• 20:55
  SPEAKER_01: Everybody has a pattern in life.
• 20:57
  SPEAKER_01: You have to figure it out.
• 20:58
  SPEAKER_01: Figure it out to conquer and beat them, right?
• 21:01
  SPEAKER_01: Whatever the case may be.
• 21:03
  SPEAKER_01: If it's a if it's life, arguing, trying to get people to do stuff, find their pattern.
• 21:10
  SPEAKER_01: So, yes.
• 21:12
  SPEAKER_01: Von Kaiser and Mike Tyson's Punch Out taught me how to figure out and process things.
• 21:17
  SPEAKER_01: Weird as that may be.
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_01: So since I'm on the Mike Tyson kick, so to speak, you know, uh, I just, you know, parts of Mike Tyson's punch out still live with me today.
• 21:28
  SPEAKER_01: So anyway, I wanted to share like Mike Tyson's, Mike Tyson taught me so much in life, right?
• 21:34
  SPEAKER_01: So this point, I just want to share the experiences I've had playing this game.
• 21:38
  SPEAKER_01: And like if you if you are a gamer or you have any gaming at all, you know this person's intro.
• 21:48
  SPEAKER_01: This is King Hippo.
• 21:50
  SPEAKER_01: King Hippo.
• 21:52
  SPEAKER_01: So one thing about King Hippo is that he's not the normal, normal boxer.
• 21:58
  SPEAKER_01: You have to figure out his path.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_01: Pattern.
• 22:01
  SPEAKER_01: Right?
• 22:01
  SPEAKER_01: And then when it finally dawned on me to figure out his pattern, all you gotta do is hit him in the mouth, then hit him in the belly.
• 22:10
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 22:12
  SPEAKER_01: Hit him in the mouth, hit him in the belly.
• 22:16
  SPEAKER_01: Hit him in the mouth.
• 22:17
  SPEAKER_01: But he hit you, yeah.
• 22:19
  SPEAKER_01: Trying to hit him.
• 22:20
  SPEAKER_01: Hit him in the mouth, hit him in the belly.
• 22:24
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 22:25
  SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
• 22:26
  SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
• 22:31
  SPEAKER_01: It's about happening.
• 22:32
  SPEAKER_01: There you go.
• 22:34
  SPEAKER_01: And the thing with King Hippo is once you get him down, he ain't getting back up.
• 22:44
  SPEAKER_01: Knockout.
• 22:46
  SPEAKER_01: Bing, bing, bing.
• 22:49
  SPEAKER_01: So playing punch out.
• 22:52
  SPEAKER_01: Playing punch out taught me how to figure things out.
• 22:55
  SPEAKER_01: But to this day, I have never gone straight through.
• 22:59
  SPEAKER_01: To this day.
• 23:00
  SPEAKER_01: I've never gone straight through and beat Mike Tyson.
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_01: To this day, I've never used the cheat code to do it.
• 23:09
  SPEAKER_01: I said, look, I'm integrity.
• 23:10
  SPEAKER_01: Integrity first.
• 23:12
  SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna figure I'm gonna do it the natural way.
• 23:14
  SPEAKER_01: And I had these three people that will block me, and it all started with Soda Popinski.
• 23:20
  SPEAKER_01: I think that's how you say his name.
• 23:21
  SPEAKER_01: Soda Papinski.
• 23:23
  SPEAKER_01: This dude, this dude has mentally scarred me.
• 23:26
  SPEAKER_01: You may be like, Mike, how can a video game mentally scar you?
• 23:30
  SPEAKER_01: The point is with the thing with Soda Popinski, and to this day, is that he laughs at you.
• 23:36
  SPEAKER_01: So first when the bell first rings, he laughs at you.
• 23:41
  SPEAKER_01: When he knocks you out, he laughs at you.
• 23:45
  SPEAKER_01: When he knocks you out a third time, he gets in your face and laughs at you.
• 23:51
  SPEAKER_01: To this day.
• 23:52
  SPEAKER_01: This is why I can't be a comedian in a in a comedy.
• 23:55
  SPEAKER_01: Like I think I'm I'm funny.
• 23:56
  SPEAKER_01: I think I'm funny, but I don't I can't break down if you're laughing with me or you're laughing at me.
• 24:04
  SPEAKER_01: To this day, I can't.
• 24:06
  SPEAKER_01: And this guy triggered it.
• 24:08
  SPEAKER_01: Let me let me play this for you.
• 24:10
  SPEAKER_01: Right?
• 24:11
  SPEAKER_01: Let me play this for you and show you how bad this laugh was.
• 24:17
  SPEAKER_01: So he's coming down to the ring.
• 24:20
  SPEAKER_01: Get ready to fight.
• 24:24
  SPEAKER_01: Laugh at you.
• 24:25
  SPEAKER_01: Knocks you down.
• 24:27
  SPEAKER_01: Laugh at you.
• 24:31
  SPEAKER_01: Four, five, seven, eight, nine, ten.
• 24:36
  SPEAKER_01: Knock it out.
• 24:38
  SPEAKER_01: The purpose proceeds to continue laughing at you.
• 24:42
  SPEAKER_01: This is why I have mental issues with laughing.
• 24:44
  SPEAKER_01: I can't tell if you're laughing with me or laughing at me.
• 24:48
  SPEAKER_01: And if I barely got by Sotopepinski, I had Sandman to deal with.
• 24:54
  SPEAKER_01: Couldn't figure out his pattern.
• 24:55
  SPEAKER_01: And then if I barely if I got past him, I got Super Macho Man.
• 24:59
  SPEAKER_01: Couldn't figure out his pattern.
• 25:00
  SPEAKER_01: And forget about Mike Tyson.
• 25:02
  SPEAKER_01: Couldn't even know.
• 25:04
  SPEAKER_01: The patterns got harder and trickier, and I quit.
• 25:07
  SPEAKER_01: I can't I can't handle Sotopopinsky.
• 25:11
  SPEAKER_01: Sotopapinski laughing at me.
• 25:14
  SPEAKER_01: I can't handle this.
• 25:21
  SPEAKER_01: You don't understand how bad this hurts.
• 25:23
  SPEAKER_01: You get so far up this ladder, you fight Bald Bull twice, Piston Honda twice, Don Flamingo twice.
• 25:31
  SPEAKER_01: I'm pretty sure you fight Von Kaiser a couple times too.
• 25:34
  SPEAKER_01: And I get to Sotopopinski, and he's laughing at me.
• 25:39
  SPEAKER_01: So that part kills me.
• 25:44
  SPEAKER_01: But that also made me addicted to video games.
• 25:47
  SPEAKER_01: So my addiction to video games blocked me from doing teenage stuff.
• 25:53
  SPEAKER_01: Now you may be like, Mike, what the heck you talking about?
• 25:56
  SPEAKER_01: Teenage stuff for me was getting like getting with like getting to know females, right?
• 26:03
  SPEAKER_01: Never the case.
• 26:04
  SPEAKER_01: Never the case, right?
• 26:06
  SPEAKER_01: I would use video games as an excuse not to do stuff, right?
• 26:11
  SPEAKER_01: So for example, the first the first girl I knew that like was showing me attention and liking me and all that stuff, she would just come by my house and like at the time I was living with my dad, and uh we'll be his his house apartment, whatever you want to call it, was on the second floor, and she would always come by him.
• 26:28
  SPEAKER_02: She'd be like, Mike, Mike, come outside and play.
• 26:31
  SPEAKER_01: And I look down, I'm like, yo, it's it's it's let's just call her uh shoot uh Cynthia.
• 26:38
  SPEAKER_01: Cynthia, she was cute, man.
• 26:40
  SPEAKER_01: She was real cute, and like she was like trying to be aggressive and like just trying to get me to come outside.
• 26:47
  SPEAKER_01: I was like, yo, I can't come outside, man.
• 26:49
  SPEAKER_01: I'm uh I can't come outside.
• 26:50
  SPEAKER_01: She's like, why?
• 26:51
  SPEAKER_01: I was like, I'm waiting on a phone call from Tiffany, Tiffa and Barrett, you know.
• 26:55
  SPEAKER_01: It was like, who's Tiffa and Barrett?
• 26:56
  SPEAKER_01: These are my friends that haven't seen him forever.
• 26:59
  SPEAKER_01: They've been in, you know, off the city, you know, been look been gone for a long time.
• 27:03
  SPEAKER_01: I ain't seen him in Indiana.

  SPEAKER_01: And, you know, I ain't seen him and I expect him to phone calls.
• 27:08
  SPEAKER_01: All right, well, I'll see you later.
• 27:09
  SPEAKER_01: Come to find out that uh Tifa and Barrett are Final Fantasy characters, man.
• 27:18
  SPEAKER_01: I'm more worried about them trying to figure out how to beat this video game than try to get with females.
• 27:24
  SPEAKER_01: Cause I no one coached me on what to do.
• 27:27
  SPEAKER_01: I don't I don't know.
• 27:28
  SPEAKER_01: I'd rather play video games because it's safe and secure.
• 27:31
  SPEAKER_01: I can I I can play this video game, not worry about anything, and that's that, you know.
• 27:38
  SPEAKER_01: I play this video game all day, baby.
• 27:40
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not trying to get in trouble with you.
• 27:42
  SPEAKER_01: But if your parents don't know what you're doing, you over here in my house trying to get me to come outside.
• 27:46
  SPEAKER_01: I ain't ready for that.
• 27:48
  SPEAKER_01: I would rather figure out this mater and uh, you know, beat this level.
• 27:52
  SPEAKER_01: I gotta figure out how to I gotta save, I gotta save Aries.
• 27:56
  SPEAKER_01: This is not, this is not, I'm not doing that.
• 27:58

  SPEAKER_01: And you know, another girl, another girl came, let's call her uh V Dell.
• 28:06
  SPEAKER_01: V Dell, I knew she'd like me.
• 28:08
  SPEAKER_01: She would write me notes all the time and rewind time.
• 28:13
  SPEAKER_01: Note-taking is text message on paper, on pen and paper.
• 28:19
  SPEAKER_01: You write you a note and they would give it to you.
• 28:21
  SPEAKER_01: And she was like, Mike, what are you doing later?
• 28:23
  SPEAKER_01: What are you doing later?
• 28:24
  SPEAKER_01: What are you doing later?
• 28:24
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I was making an excuse.
• 28:26
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, um, um, I gotta go find my friend who uh she made this wish, and uh, I don't know what it was a wish for, but I gotta find out.
• 28:34

  SPEAKER_01: I'm not.
• 28:48
  SPEAKER_01: Listen, I know you like me, and you just gonna get me in trouble.
• 28:53
  SPEAKER_01: I can't be around you because I got a feeling you're trying to get more stuff, and I'm not ready.
• 28:59
  SPEAKER_01: No, no, no, no, no.
• 29:00
  SPEAKER_01: I'm trying to figure out why Cloud has amnesia, and um, why is he saying he isn't soldier and and and and he's not?
• 29:08
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I gotta figure this out.
• 29:10

  SPEAKER_01: I ran so fast to my house.
• 35:44
  SPEAKER_01: Like, I was I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't talk to me after that event, but she did.

  SPEAKER_01: But I didn't know what to do.
• 35:54
  SPEAKER_01: What what what do you do?

• 36:12
  SPEAKER_01: I wasn't ready.
• 36:13
  SPEAKER_01: There's no ladies and gentlemen, let me let me let me um let me just say there is no playbook to what to do.
• 36:22
  SPEAKER_01: To this day, I don't even think I would have d if I would have known what to do, I still would not have done anything because you know you don't do that stuff in public.
• 36:31
  SPEAKER_01: You don't you don't you don't do that in public.
• 36:34
  SPEAKER_01: You don't do not my book.

  SPEAKER_01: You just that's between me, her, and the situation.
• 36:40
  SPEAKER_01: Right?
• 36:42
  SPEAKER_01: But in that case, I booked it because there's no playbook.
• 36:45
  SPEAKER_01: And I just didn't want no one to be coming to the next day like, hey Mike, I saw what you did at the river.
• 36:51
  SPEAKER_01: What's going on between you and whatever her name was.
• 36:55
  SPEAKER_01: I was like, hey man, that's none of your business.
• 36:57
  SPEAKER_01: You know, that's that's the gentleman in me.
• 36:59
  SPEAKER_01: That's none of your business.
• 37:00
  SPEAKER_01: You don't need to know what was going on at the river.
• 37:03
  SPEAKER_01: Why are you spying on me at the river, right?
• 37:06
  SPEAKER_01: So that bought me at that juncture.
• 37:09
  SPEAKER_01: I said, you know what?
• 37:11
  SPEAKER_01: I I just it's just not safe for me out there.
• 37:13
  SPEAKER_01: I need to quit doing I need to quit doing these push-ups and set-ups because I guess I'm buffing out.
• 37:19
  SPEAKER_01: 100 pushups, 100 sit-ups every day, get you buffed.
• 37:23
  SPEAKER_01: And by that and also by that time, I finished Final Fantasy VII, so therefore I I couldn't use that as an as an excuse to get out of situations like that.
• 37:35
  SPEAKER_01: Thankfully, I jumped on a new game.
• 37:38
  SPEAKER_01: Now, if you know this intro, then you, my friend, are a gamer.
• 37:50
  SPEAKER_01: Ladies and gentlemen, this is Metal Gear Solid 1.

  SPEAKER_01: Like, I don't gotta, I don't wanna do this, I'm gonna do this, I don't wanna do this.
• 38:38
  SPEAKER_01: I get so engrossed in it.
• 38:40
  SPEAKER_01: In fact, the funny thing is that some of the sounds from Metal Gear is like tone taxes, phone texts, da-da-da-da.
• 38:49
  SPEAKER_01: I love Metal Gear Solid.
• 38:50
  SPEAKER_01: Let's let's put that out there.

  SPEAKER_01: Two-piece.
• 39:10
  SPEAKER_01: Uh so yeah, I started to understand, you know, slowly started to grow.
• 39:16
  SPEAKER_01: My curiosity started to grow.
• 39:18
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, okay, you know, starting to understand.
• 39:20
  SPEAKER_01: Two-piece needs a biscuit.
• 39:21
  SPEAKER_01: Again, I wasn't taught this.
• 39:23
  SPEAKER_01: I learned it on my own.
• 39:24
  SPEAKER_01: Playing Metal Gear.
• 39:25
  SPEAKER_01: Playing uh snot out of Metal Gear.
• 39:27
  SPEAKER_01: I what I used to do, and maybe it's just me saying, like when I would play Metal Gear, turn the lights off, turn the lights off, and uh play the game.

  SPEAKER_01: Summertime uh at the house, got my window up, and so I'm playing Metal Gear, minding my business, and uh my neighbor was also playing a game and uh the game of life, if you get what I'm saying.
