Speaker 1 (00:00):
I've had to wear like maid outfits for 24 hours on
stream.
I've had to get shot by apaintball gun in the snow.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
I think I remember that one I've had to what else
I've had to like drink a cup ofhot sauce.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Yeah, I've.
Yeah, I wore my fiance's bikinion stream.
I've.
What else have I done?
I've been oh my goodness, Gameattacked.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
Hey, Regent, thanks for joining us on this episode
of Gamertag bro, yes, sir.

Speaker 4 (00:53):
Yeah, man.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
Hey, let's not start talking about games yet, but
let's talk about you.
When you started, what kind ofkid were you?
Were you always hanging outaround video games?
Was that always part of yourlife?
When did that?

Speaker 1 (01:05):
I would say gaming was and is a very big part of my
life, like when I was veryyoung.
The thing that introduced me togaming, I would say, is like
like the nes and snes like mariobrothers.
Oh yeah, yeah, bro.
So when I was a kid I neverplayed on the original console,
but my dad bought me someplug-and-play where it was like
the console, you just plug itinto the tv and it just worked.

(01:26):
You know I'm talking about likethe controller was the console,
yeah.
So I learned what mario bros wason that and I was like, oh my
goodness, like I really likethis.
And then we ended up gettingsome like third party duck hunt
and I was playing that.
And as I got older I started toget like super smash bros on
the gamecube mario sunshine,luigi's mansion.
And then the thing that reallytook off for my like grind for

(01:47):
gaming, I would say, would beplaystation 3 and xbox 360, call
of duties like bo1, mw2, mw3,like the og ones, those are like
bro, I was in grade like six tograde nine and that those years
were like, oh my goodness, theamount of hours I put into
gaming was insane.

(02:08):
Bro, that's fire dude, that'sawesome it really is a gateway
it is oh my goodness, yes,there's so

Speaker 2 (02:14):
many.
I feel like that's so manypeople's answer is call of duty.
It started call of duty call ofduty.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Back in the day was just different.
There was no fortnight oranything for all these kids to
gravitate to, so it was likewhen, when you were a kid, there
was like it was Halo or COD andthen everything else was
secondary.
It was something else.
Those were like the two primarygames that people played.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
What got you into COD over Halo in that context,
because I was a big Halo fan, soI think you're right it was
those two.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
I had no issues with Halo.
Cod was introduced to me and Ihad so many like moments for
playing with friends, levelingup, trying to complete every
challenge, going for nukes,things like that, where I just
didn't even though I physicallydid have the time, I didn't
mentally have more time to giveto another game.
I watched professionals playHalo and it seems interesting.
I just I never physicallygrinded it.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
I always thought it was like the difference, because
when halo, like when you'regetting shot, like you get a
little bit more time I can callyou way more time.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
You're done way more yeah, like you can hide in halo
and you're good.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
Yeah, yeah, but like that's the crazy part I always
thought was so different.
It's a difference for peoplewho were like I need a little
bit more time to get shot whichwas me, because it became more
like strategy of controlling themap and like managing the power
of the clock, of all thosethings.
But in COD it was just like allright, don't get shot.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
I was really good at pub stomping and back in the day
on Call of Duty there was noskill based matchmaking.
So what me and my boys did, weused to have a team on MW3
called Moab Hunters and I don'tknow if you know what the Moabs
were in MW3.
It was like the nuke.
It was the 25 kill streak andwe would Moab hunt and it didn't
end the game when you got them.
So we would try to get multipleones throughout the games and

(03:54):
me and my boys would literallyjust run six stacks.
And the OP thing about the sixstacks in MW3 is that every
single six stack got to controlthe map in the lobby and what
I'm what I mean by that is whenyou queued a game, it would make
you guys primary leader soeveryone else joins into you.
So every time you search for amatch and two maps pop up, you

(04:17):
can back out and research againand pretty much guarantee what
map you want if you're a sixstack.
It was.
It was like such a big part ofmy childhood man I don't know
the exact hours I think I have180 or 200 days of gameplay like
it was.
Yeah, it was ridiculous.
I'm pretty sure, though, theway the gameplay counts in, that
is, it doesn't count forin-game, it's if you're sitting

(04:39):
in a lobby if it's running, yeah, yeah yeah, so it's not like
other games, but it's still alot that's crazy, bro.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
So so you're a young guy like you're getting to con,
so that's when fps is start foryou, right?
Like absolutely yeah yeah, allcontroller at the time was there
like a so you're talking aboutthe most like being a mohav
hunter.
Was there like a specificmoment or like a thing that was
like man?
This is where I just gotta keeptrying to chase this feeling.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
It was just honestly.
I'm addicted to dopamine andthat was my childhood version of
just like dopamine hits.
It was just like watchingyourself drop like insane stats
on your scoreboard.
You know how at the end of thematch it shows the leaderboard
to everyone and it'll show yourkills, deaths, all that right.
It was just like the thing Icraved as a child was just like
outperforming everyone else onthe leaderboard.
It was like I wasn't good atmuch in life other than video

(05:32):
games like yeah I was an okayathlete as a kid.
I could run, I could play somesports, but like gaming was like
the only thing that I reallyfelt like, oh my goodness, I'm
actually.
Like, compared to the averageJoe, I can keep up exponentially
.
And that was my turning point.
When I was younger like gradesix, grade seven I was like man,
I can actually shit on a lot ofthese people, especially when

(05:53):
they shit talk to you and thenyou did better than them.
That was the best.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
Oh, my God yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Are there any specific moments of that
happening that like you stillthink back to it and you're like
, yeah, dude, I did that.
Honestly, I can't think of aspecific one.
Like it's happened a decentamount, to the point where it
was just like like I just fedinto it like rage bait, if you
will, but especially as a kid.
I don't remember a specificthing that was said or whatnot,
it was just more so the thegeneral, like the days all
collide as a gamer, when yougame a lot like 10, 12 hours a
day as a child, every day justmerges what you said, though,
about the dopamine hit of seeingat the end.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
As an adult, I still crave that right.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
Oh man, I know it's just harder as an adult now to
yeah it's like you're tiredafter a full shift.
You want to go home and you getlike sweaty 13 year old timmy
just shitting on you.
It's so much harder, dude weplayed apex.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
We played apex for I don't know like a couple weeks
and I was like I think I'm tooold to play apex.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
I'm not gonna figure this out I tried playing apex
with my buddy because he wantedme to try it again.
I saw a tiktok clip and I waslike, oh my goodness, it looks
so fun to try to.
What was it?
What's it called like tracking?
You know how they're very highhealth in that game, so people
would like practice recoilcontrol tracking.
Yeah, so I was trying to learnthe game just because the

(07:11):
tracking looked really fun and Iwas like I don't want to learn
every character's abilities whenit takes so long.
I learned valor and I learnedoverwatch.
I was considering learningrivals.
I was considering learningsiege, like.
These are all games where youhave to know how every character
is played to then play againstthem.
You can't counter someone youdon't know what their abilities
are.
Right, the only way to countersomeone's abilities is if you

(07:33):
know what they are.
And as soon as I downloaded thegame I played like four matches
.
I was like I don't want tolearn another game.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Dude, totally agree with you.
It can be tough to enter newgames like that.
I totally feel that.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
Yeah, like with Call of Duty.
It's simple, because there's noabilities, a frag, grenade, a
flashbang and a gun.
You know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
Okay, so comparing Call of Duty and what you just
said about how simple it is,like your kit is your everyday
kit.
What was it about Valorant thatdrew you to it and made you
want to focus on?
That was it about Valorant thatdrew you to it and made you?

Speaker 1 (08:07):
want to focus on.
That's what you primarilystream, right?
Yeah, so time skipping forward.
From me being younger playingCOD, I eventually played
Fortnite and I learned mouse andkeyboard and I fell in love
with the mouse and keyboardmovement from Fortnite.
So someone suggested Valorantand it wasn't brand new, but it

(09:56):
was still in its early stagesand at first I wasn't even new,
but it was still in its earlystages and at first I wasn't
even focused on trying to learneveryone's abilities because I
didn't think it was going to bea game I was going to main.
I thought it was just like alet's just play this for a month
or two and then figure out whatwe're going to play.
Right, every game I playedbefore Valorant, you didn't have
to stand still while you shotso alone.
That mechanic alone was new tome, so I had to learn how to

(10:19):
play this fps game from scratch.
In call of duty, you could jumpand your bullet would go
straight.
In this game, you have to beperfectly still or your bullet
goes into narnia.
So I I enjoyed learningsomething new because I was
still younger and I still hadthe free time and I wanted new
content.
Right now I don't think I'm inthat position, but back then I

(10:42):
think it was a perfect time tolearn something new and it was
just the one game.
It's not like I was trying tolearn Siege, apex, valorant and
Overwatch all at the same time.
Right, the thing that reallymade me like Valorant is it was
like my first game that I playedwhere there was so much utility
that you could utilize and inthe lower ranks no one knew how
to use it, so I was justshooting.
I started playing sage becauseI wanted to be useful to the

(11:04):
team, but then as I started toclimb it's ironic I started to
play reyna because I love beingfull health and we can go into
the whole gamer tag thing aboutregen, but may or may not have
something to do with regeningyour health the fact that you
could play very aggro.
I liked how duelists wereplayed.
I don't know how much you guysknow about valorant.

(11:25):
I know martha knows a littlebit a little bit okay.
Okay, I don't know how much youplay my bad, put some respect on
my.
Not like that, not like that,but so I don't know how much you
grind.
Do you play, are you like?

Speaker 2 (11:38):
I haven't been playing in a while and don't ask
me there you go.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
Duelist in itself is just such a it's such a fun
aggressive role.
When I first hit immortal, Iwas playing jet because no one
knew how to counter the op.
It was just a simple point andclick and, coming from cold, it
was such a similar thing that Iwas used to.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
And then later on, with me falling in love with
reina, I stopped kind of jet opcrutching and moved towards just
going for one taps with thevandal so when I hear you tell
this story I see you as littleregion like gets into call of
duty right and that's your vibeand you keep chasing that vibe
of hey man, I just want to docool shit with my friends and

(12:20):
try some stuff and have fun andI want to chase that dopamine
that leads you down a road inthe future to valor it right,
absolutely.
And so like you're still littleregion, like just big in a way
yeah, like there's things that Istill chase from little regions
to pass.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
I have a lot more responsibilities on my plate now
and I don't have as much freetime, and when I do I am
physically exhausted.
Some days, working manual laborthe last six, seven years at
different jobs, it's verydifficult to get on and try to
top frag, but days off orwhatnot, you crack an energy
drink and you're good to go.
Hell yeah bro.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
So when did you become region right?

Speaker 1 (13:05):
I love the name region, region, but where did it
come from?
I've had a bunch of gamer tagsin the past, before regen I had
one called stunner.

Speaker 3 (13:10):
It was stun, s-t-u-n-n-3-r.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
Okay, okay, all right .
From there I went to some more,yeah, very elementary
school-esque and then there Iwent to some more inappropriate
names that I won't talk aboutand then from there I was like
I'm sick of this inappropriatename.
I don't like how it looks, Idon't like how it sounds.
I'm a grown-up.
Yeah, even then I was just likegrown-up or not.
I was just like I don't like it.
So I was like I want somethingsimple, I want something short,

(13:39):
because a lot of the people thatlook threatening in cold duty
lobbies had three to fivecharacter names oh my god, yes,
there was no xx.
There was no numbers.
Like anyone with numbers intheir name, like cool dad 1682.
Like they're not getting 40kills a game you know 100 yeah,
or xx.
Demon slayer underscore xx,like that guy is not getting 40
kills in a game no, it's notscary if you have just jinx zeus

(14:01):
like something simple no,you're right those are the names
where you're like this guycould be a goat, you know I mean
.
So I was just sitting there andI remember exactly what I was
doing when I thought of thisname and there's no like really
special origin to it.
It was just like I was playingbo2 zombies, okay, and I was
just training I don't knowaround.

(14:22):
I was just training the map andI was asking my friends I was
like what should my new name be?
And I was just sitting therespitting out names like this.
I was like yeah, it's okay,it's okay.
And then I thought ofregeneration, because all the
fps games I play you regenerateyour health.
And I was was like regenerateis too long and he goes what
about regen?
And I was like wait, thatactually sounds amazing.

(14:44):
And at first, regen on Xboxbecause I played on Xbox at the
time was taken and you couldn'tdo dupe names.
So I actually reached out tothe OG guy that had the name
regen and he didn't even sell itto me.
He just said pay for my namechange and then change your name
right after and that was it?
so I have the og gamer tag onxbox regen wait, so how long

(15:09):
have you had that though?
I've had it for ages now, likea decade right at least.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
So I didn't get it right away, I didn't get it
right I honestly don't rememberwhat my og one was.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
It could have been like underscore, regen,
underscore, something like that,but nonetheless I made all my
socials regen.
There's other people with thename regen on xbox, but they all
have like hashtag numbers aftertheirs.
I don't even play xbox anymore,I just like flexing it.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
It's you just keep it .

Speaker 4 (15:37):
Yeah, I'm never going to change it.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
I'm never going to change it.
It's literally like it's verydifficult to get a five-letter
name on any platform if itdoesn't allow dupes.
Cool bro.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
That's a crazy story.
Do you think, with the historyof regen, do you think that
you'll be regen forever?

Speaker 1 (16:00):
Do you feel like maybe there's room for you to
evolve into something else?
I think my primary gamer tagwill stay regen, because that's
what I started streaming on andI don't see a need to change it.
If I do something else thatinvolves a different social
platform, I'll obviously have adifferent name.
I've had secondary channelsthat have no relevance to regen
that I don't really advertisethrough myself because it
doesn't involve regen.
I don't post on it anymore.

(16:20):
But I tried a short stylechannel called define normality
and it was just one of thosevoiceover channels that you take
someone else's content and youvoice it over and then you post
it and so I've tried things likethat.
I've also had alt accounts.
So back in the cod days, what Iwould like to do is, after the
game was out for six to eightmonths, I would make an alt
account on COD to see what Icould get my highest stats to be

(16:43):
.
So I would initially play onthe region account and then
later on I had an alt accountcalled dying ethics, and dying
ethics was like pretty much myalt account for everything.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
That's a cool ass name.
Yeah that is a super cool name.

Speaker 1 (16:58):
Yeah, dying ethics is .
It was actually my firstValorant name Because, like I
said, Valorant I didn't thinkwas going to be a main game for
me.
I didn't even make my nameregen when I first started
playing Valorant.
If you go back and watch myfirst content I've ever posted
on Val, all the clips will saydying ethics.

Speaker 3 (17:16):
Dude, I actually like .
Define Normality too.
That's a crazy name.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
I know you have, I feel like these names are like
yeah, it's super creative, superlayered.
I feel like they have hiddenmeanings.
Are we?
Is this commentary on society?

Speaker 1 (17:30):
brother, there wasn't too much special stuff behind
it other than the fact of, likethe whole regenerate your health
thing, establishing a brandaround it.
Now it's very difficult to havethe concept of getting rid of
it.
It wasn't like it wasn't untilI started streaming with the

(17:52):
name Regen and Regen Nation,where I was like you know what I
can't?
I can't change it.
Now I can change my logo.
Sure, I can tweak some thingshere, but I don't think I'll
ever change my name.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
I think my name will always be Regen.
Okay, so you mentioned RegenNation.
Yeah, where did Nation comefrom?
What does that mean to you?
It sounds like Regen itself isa branding for you.
That's who you are.
That's who people know you.
As Does it reflect anythingelse?

Speaker 1 (18:25):
So I actually I don't remember the exact reason why I
started the nation bit.
I think it was because back inthe day when I first started
with streaming on YouTube andthen later on Twitch, I couldn't
use the name regen, I think itwas.
So I went with regen nation tohave.

(18:46):
I couldn't.
I can't remember if itphysically didn't let me or if
there was just a bunch ofchannels named regen.
So I wanted to stand out but,like my in-game name on
everything is regen.
But then a lot of my channelstuff is Regen Nation.
To associate it more with thecontent, end of things, my
display name would be Regen, buta lot of my socials would be
Regen Nation.

(19:06):
So Twitch is Regen Nation,youtube, even though the
channel's display name just saysRegen, the actual at for
YouTube is Regen Nation.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
So I think, Sorry go ahead.

Speaker 1 (19:18):
I think it was just more like a socials thing, like
a content thing that I threw inthere Because I think regen with
me being a smaller creator wastoo difficult for discovery
Because there's so manydifferent channels named regen,
and even regen in German, Ithink it is means rain.
So if you search regen onYouTube, you just get a bunch of
videos of rain.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
Hey.
I love rain videos Nation,though I think I was curious
about nation because it implieslike a community.
Was that intentional on yourpart Because I feel like there's
so many words you could havegone for.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
Yeah, no, it was absolutely for that.
Like with me when I firststarted streaming I get like
zero or one viewers and I likethe concept of regular viewers
coming in after a couple monthsand it's building that community
aspect and even the Discordserver.
I think you can do any name onDiscord but I chose to go with
Regen Nation for the Discord,just because that's kind of like

(20:15):
the whole.
Like you said, the wholepremise of the community thing
is without viewers, you're justplaying video games.
Without a community, you'rejust playing video games.
Right, I could press, go live,but if I have zero viewers for a
whole year, then I'm justplaying video games.
So without the community whichis the nation, then regen means

(20:36):
nothing.
It sounded clean, regen nation.
It was nice and short, stillrelatively simple, and just
hearing the first part, regen ifyou knew me, regen Nation most
people could put two and twotogether.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
I think that Regen Nation really fits you because I
feel like you have You'relarger than life for anybody
that has seen your streams.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
I don't know how much you told them or how much
you've seen, martha, I've done abunch of challenges on stream
for like subathons, right yeah,and when I first started it was
just when people donate, timegets added, that's it.
And then someone recommendeddoing challenges for it and
that's where it started to gocrazy.
Oh my goodness, people startedsuggesting challenges during my
subathons and some of them werejust diabolical man for the size

(21:19):
of my community.
The amount of support that Iget, especially during these
subathons, is just absolutelyphenomenal.
It is incredible, like when youput it in retrospect from my
viewer count to the amount ofsupport that I get, not just
financially but just from likepeople's energy.
Like I have sometimes eightviewers and I'll hit a clip and
the chat will just go crazy.

(21:40):
I have hundreds of peoplewatching me, but there's eight
people and they're just hypingme up.
It's insane, that's freakingawesome dude.
Yeah, man, it's all aboutquality and not quantity, man.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
You very clearly and very obviously love your
community.
I think I've known that fromthe very first time I landed in
your stream.
If you had to describe yourcommunity and what sets them
apart from others, what wouldthat be?
And would you say that was whatyou were looking to build from
the start, or did it exceed yourexpectations?

Speaker 1 (22:12):
It was definitely what I was looking to build from
the start.
I went into this with zeroexpectations, like when I
started streaming seven, eightyears ago on YouTube.
I averaged zero viewers to oneviewer for three months,
literally like when someonejoined chat.
I would light up.
My expectations were nothinguntil I made.
In three to four months I madea hundred dollars in stream and

(22:34):
I was like, oh my goodness, Ijust got a hundred dollar
paycheck from YouTube fromplaying video games.
This is incredible.
From there I was like, how canwe do more?
How can we build more?
I wanted people have a placewhere they could go and, again,
people will never be 100% on thesame page with everything, but
I wanted to have a place wherepeople could go to just be

(22:56):
comfortable to talk.
I'm not going to say anydetails, but I've had people
send me such personal DMs abouttheir life because they felt
comfortable in my community andwith me that I can't even say to
you guys because of the amountof detail that they shared with
me.
And that's what I wanted to gofor.
I just want to create like aplace where people can feel

(23:19):
comfortable to either escape thereality that they're living,
that they're not happy with, orto just create a bigger positive
space for either after school,after work, stuff like that.

Speaker 3 (23:31):
You've got that vibe, bro.
You're like an empath and youalso like really connect and I
think you're a conduit likepeople can connect to you.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
It's hard some days, especially, like I said, without
having the energy, because Iwant to be the one supplying the
energy, not getting it fromchat.
There are some streams where Iwent live, where I should not
have went live because it wastoo tired so I couldn't provide
what I normally want to provide.
You can't have a perfect streamall the time, but that's that's
like my main goal is.
When I press go live, I wantthe people in the chat to a feel

(24:00):
welcome and be have either asense of escape from the reality
if that's what they're goingfor or just a distraction of
whatever they're going through.
I just want them to feel like,once they join the stream, they
are now in a different world.
I want them to feel likethey're inside of the stream and
not just watching something.

(24:20):
Yeah, like they're part of thenation, exactly, yeah bro,
that's it, I can tell youdefinitely are hitting that mark
.

Speaker 2 (24:27):
If you ever have those days where you feel like
you're not, you are.

Speaker 1 (24:32):
Thank you.
There are days where I feellike I'm not, but it's not
because it's an overall thing,it's just because of how I feel
in that day.
Yeah, man.

Speaker 3 (24:39):
Let's say that our listeners are out there and they
, like, want to join RegionNation.
What would you say to them?
And one of the cool things youdo and I don't know if you want
to talk about this is you alwaysnotify Nation in your Discord
before you go live, to let themknow to come join.
Yeah, so what would you say?

Speaker 1 (24:54):
Again, I don't care about the quantity, I care about
the quality.
If they feel welcome and theywant to be a part of it, I would
love to have them.
If someone joins and they likethe vibes and they want to be
there, I'd be more than happy tohave them.
But I never want someone tofollow just like pity.
I want them to feel like it'sactually a place they want to be
, even if they can only watch meonce a month because they have
a very busy schedule.
If it's a place they want to be, then you know I would love to

(25:16):
have you here.
I want them to feel welcome,but I also don't want their love
to be forced.

Speaker 3 (25:22):
Yeah, man for sure.
One of the things that I loveabout you is you coach people
like you're interested inhelping people grow.
And yeah, I don't know ifthat's always like something
that you maybe people know aboutyou, but that's a really dope
thing, like just you want toshare your experiences and you
want to help people grow.
That's freaking awesome.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
I never thought I would do coaching actually, and
someone suggested it a couple ofyears back.
I always say with my coaching Ican't guarantee that you will
get better, but I'll suggesteverything.
That I feel is, if you want totry to get better, I can only
suggest things and from thereyou have to put in the work.

Speaker 4 (25:56):
It's kind of like a mentor.

Speaker 1 (25:59):
Like, for example, if you're a brand new real estate
agent, right, and you go to abig guy in the real estate game
and you're like, how do I getbetter at it?
You can listen to all of hiswords, but then you have to take
action and execute.

Speaker 3 (26:12):
Yeah, that's just.
That's all.
Leadership is bro when you'recoaching or developing people
it's.
I can give you advice, butyou're the one who has to hit
the buttons?

Speaker 1 (26:20):
Yeah, yeah, but no, I love coaching.
It's.
I think my rates are very fairas well, like not shamelessly
plugging, but if anyone's tryingto get better at Valorant, I
love coaching.
It's something I really enjoydoing and it's great too,
because I love streamingeverything, so I get to stream
it so anyone that's watching cantry to learn from it, even
though it's not isolating theirissues.
They can potentially learn likebetter warm-ups or maybe, if

(26:43):
they're doing something similarthat's wrong.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
They can learn from the coaching session that I'm
streaming I've for sure learnedfrom you yeah, I do also, while
we're talking about like how youstream all this stuff, I think
one thing that I thought wasreally cool when I first started
seeing your streams is yourhand cam yeah, and being able to
see and how invaluable that canbe to somebody that I know what

(27:07):
I need to do.
I just don't know how to get myhands to do those things.
What inspired that?
And then what inspired what?

Speaker 1 (27:15):
your mouse is on top of goodness so I'll start with
the second one there.
So my mouse pads I don't usetoo many of the lewd ones
anymore.
Like with me getting older, Istrayed away from it a bit A
couple years ago.
I really liked using them.
If you're scrolling right andyou see a diabolical mouse pad,

(27:36):
will you stop for a second?
They'll be like Whoa, what isgoing on?
It catches your attention,positive or negative, it still
caught people's attention, right?
There was a lot of, you couldsay, controversy about it and a
lot of my comments on YouTubewere people commenting on just
the mouse pad, not even thevideo.
So I'm getting viewer retentionand I'm getting attraction in
comments, likes or dislikes,from just the mouse pad, never

(28:00):
mind the gameplay itself.
I've had videos where peopleare like are we gonna stop and
talk about the mouse pad?
Holy mouse pad.
W mouse pad, l mouse pad, thisguy's a gooner, whatever it is
right.
so those are like one of yourlike channel point rewards
things or maybe it was yeah, wasit channel points, or yeah,
yeah, so channel points, yesyeah, I have 13 different mouse

(28:21):
pads now so I have.
It's a pretty high reward.
It takes a lot of bits, but Ihave a lot of like I said, a lot
of diehards that watch me.
Even if I have two, threeviewers, it's usually regulars,
but sometimes we'll get morepeople in there Nonetheless.
The reason I have that commandis just because I want it to be
more interactive and it's a goodway to allow the chat to
control some things, like I havenow with channel commands like

(28:45):
pushups, change mouse pad, whatelse do I have?
Hydrates, etc.
But I really like the changemouse pad because I would let
them either choose it or I wouldjust go into this big box I
have and just grab a random one.
But I, like I said, I strayedaway from the lewd mouse pads a
little now, just because A I'mgetting older and it's not
really something I'm too fond ofanymore and also I'm not trying

(29:09):
to get too religious here.
I'm trying to get closer to Godand with my belief in Christ,
I'm trying to do better in thatregard, not trying to fight head
on, but try to flee from.
So the best way to flee from itis to not emphasize it as much
in my life.
But yeah, it's.
That's kind of like the mainreasons I got rid of the kind of
more lewd mouse pads.
It was a, it was an eye catcherman.
A lot of people commented onvideos and followed and it was a

(29:32):
symbol of uniqueness, right?
Yeah, clearly Martha caughtMartha's eye.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
I forget the other question.
It was oh, oh the mouse camwhat inspired starting the mouse
cam.
Yeah, what was that about?
Because there are some likeother creators, but I feel like
you were doing that before them.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
I mean my understanding.
I'm definitely not the first.
There's been people using mousecam for a while.
I know I didn't want to justhave a mouse cam because I feel
like that gets rid of the youlike, the personalization of it
not having a face cam.
So I wanted to have both and Ihaven't seen two like there are
people that run both, but Ihaven't seen a lot of people
running both.
Usually it's just a hand cam orjust a face cam.

(30:09):
So I actually have four webcamsnow I only use two of them for
my streams.
Now I like that people couldsee if I hit a crazy flick shot,
especially back in the cod dayswhen I was sniping my sense I
was very snappy.
So like when I hit a shot youcould see my wrist like just
snap to the left or right and itlooked very clean in the clip.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
I really enjoyed it that feels like it's just like a
lot to work around too.
That can't be comfortable whatlike positioning it so it's all
in frame positioning is that'snot in like the way of your
limbs doing the things that theyneed to do.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
You can get different cameras that are like ultra
wide zoom and stuff, I think ifI were to do anything.
There's external programs thatyou can download to your
computer, then set up on OBS,where it shows the primary keys
being clicked for example, wasdshift, stuff like that and it
shows the inputs of it clickedfor example, wasd shift stuff
like that and it shows theinputs of it just overlaid on
the screen, opposed to likeusing the actual keyboard cam as

(31:08):
a way to show people what I'mclicking.
I think the mouse cam itself,like just the mouse, is more
clean than anything.
So yeah, even though I got ridof a bunch of those lude mouse
pads, I still have a bunch ofrelatively like decent mouse
pads, so it's a good way to showthem off too.

Speaker 3 (31:44):
Yeah, this is where you're at and this is where
you're trying to make somechanges and iterations, and
that's super dope bro.

Speaker 1 (31:49):
I appreciate that.
I was taught about Jesus andGod a lot of my life and I
pushed him away and as I gotolder I started to realize that
there's a lot of evil in thisworld and I started to rebuild
my faith.
And the thing that got mecloser to God was realizing that
, like this world is toointricately designed on a micro
and macro level to not have acreator I don't think two moon

(32:12):
rocks just hit each other inouter space and boom monkeys
were here and then we evolved Ibelieve that humans were created
by God, by design, and that'smy faith and I love it.
Christ has helped me in so manyways that I can't even imagine
trying to struggle without him.
Even though walking besideChrist is difficult some days,

(32:34):
it's a test of faith.

Speaker 3 (32:36):
I think that's beautiful, brother.
I think it's beautiful.
You can talk about your storylike that.
I just think everyone, everyperson, is on their journey,
with their own struggles andchallenges and their own faith.
So I think that is.
I think that's really beautiful.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
I think, with me straying away from God through a
lot of my teen years and earlytwenties, I think it was just a
question of like, how do wereally know?
Do we know if, if we're goingto leave this world when we pass
, what's going to happenafterwards, where our
consciousness just die with ourbrains in the dirt?
And I started to realize thatthere's, there has to be more
afterlife.

(33:12):
There isn't just that.

Speaker 3 (33:14):
Do you ever think about like you had multiple
lives?

Speaker 1 (33:17):
I think it's possible , but I don't, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (33:21):
How are you going to, how are you going to live all
of these things and experiencesin one Do?

Speaker 1 (33:26):
you ever think about that?
I think if there is, youdefinitely don't remember your
old ones.
Yeah, totally yeah, I thinkthat there's heaven and hell and
I think that's those are twoplaces you can end up.
I don't know if God allowsreincarnation.
There's a lot of talk about it,but again, I won't know until
the day comes.
Yeah, it's something that'sdefinitely interesting and I

(33:46):
think it's possible, like maybe,for maybe, for example and
again, this is all hypotheticaland nothing to do with what I've
learned but maybe, for example,if a child dies early and never
got to experience the choice offollowing christ or not, maybe
god will be like here's a secondchance, and then they get
reincarnated again.
I don't know for sure, but thatwould be like a thought do you

(34:07):
think that the only realconstant is love?

Speaker 3 (34:10):
To what?
To following Christ.
No, I'm just saying like ingeneral, like for humans, like
us being human, right, yeah,whatever belief system people
have or whatever, all we reallygot is love.
And like people figure thingsout on their own or they engage
in different ways on their ownif they find their own path, but
like love is a constant part ofthis journey, love is a very
high vibrational feeling andit's one of the top.

Speaker 1 (34:33):
But I think there is more than love.
Like, I think, everything's yinand yang.
Like with love, there's eightWith I think there's.
But like on a vibrational scale, like love is like the highest
vibrational frequency that abody can emit, Like when you're
at a peak of love.
Like it is the frequency that abody can emit, like when you're
at a peak of love.
Like it is the frequency thatyour body emits when you're
truly in love is just likeabsolutely at the top so

(34:56):
speaking of being truly in love.

Speaker 3 (34:58):
So you mentioned that your fiancee has been part of
your story, so how does yourfiancee fit into your journey as
region?

Speaker 1 (35:06):
my like the whole gaming thing in region was there
before I met her, but she likeI I don't know how to describe
it as far as fitting in she'svery supportive.
She helps me in ways that I can.
For example, my logo currentlyis one that she drew on her ipad

(35:26):
.
She's very good at drawing andstuff and she supports me on my
grind as long as I'm stillworking Like I'm a very rational
person and I understand thatthe income that I make from this
is not enough to support afamily.
It's a side hustle slash hobbyand she supports me through it
directly.
And as long as I am able tostill have genuine time with her

(35:48):
if it's a date or just watchinga show as long as I'm able to
show her the love andappreciation that she deserves,
then she encourages me tocontinue doing what I enjoy.

Speaker 3 (36:00):
Yeah, that's beautiful man, that's so awesome
.
I think it's so cool to have apartner who embraces like hey
man, I just want to create coolstuff and send out positive
vibrations in the world.

Speaker 1 (36:09):
Yeah we've had fights , we've had arguments.

Speaker 3 (36:11):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:11):
Just like any couple.
I don't know if any of you guysare in relationships or have
been, but I'm sure you guys knowit's not easy.
But it's about if you guys arededicated and willing to come
out on top together.
Then that's what really holds arelationship together.
Because, just like anything, ifyou can get through the rough
times, it's going to feel muchbetter afterwards.
It's going to bring you guyscloser.

(36:31):
It's going to make you stronger.
It's just when you forge a swordright.
You go through the rough times,it's in fire.
You're hitting it with a hammer.
It's very difficult for thesword to stay sharp and whatnot.
But if you do it correctly andyou come out on the other side,
then it's going to be evenbetter than before.
Right, it's going to be better.
So that's it's a good way tolook at it.

(36:53):
And the great thing about myfiance, too, is that throughout
my struggle with faith, she wasthe one that actually got me
going back to church anddeveloping my faith again.
Big shout out to her for thatregard, because without her
encouraging me to go, then Idon't know if I would be close
with.

Speaker 3 (37:07):
God right now.
That's beautiful man and itsounds like it keeps you
grounded.
It keeps you spiritually and inyour relationship.
You feel grounded and thatallows you to be super cool bro.

Speaker 1 (37:17):
Me and her.
When we met each other, we wereboth in a very bad state and I
think our issues that we weregoing through brought us closer
because we were both in very badplaces and that's what we
bonded over and then, later on,we started to heal together,
which was awesome, that'sbeautiful dude, yeah, that's
awesome, really cool how hasthat relationship like
strengthened through like themilestones and stuff that you

(37:42):
have through your streaming andyour content creation and you're
busting your ass constantly andshe's there cheering you along
the entire time.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
So how does that relationship play into it?
Do you guys have traditions orspecial ways that you guys
celebrate those milestones anddo they mean more to you than
just the numbers that you see?

Speaker 1 (38:02):
again, I'm not like a super big streamer so we won't
go out and like party, but therewill be time, for example, like
she works very hard in school.
Like she, she does TA and shedoes lab work, she does actual
like classes, so there's a lotof stuff that she has to do.
There's a lot of emotionalsupport that she'll give me and
I think, in ways of celebrating,like, for example, if I have a

(38:24):
successful subathon, we'llcelebrate in.
If it's saving, putting themoney towards the wedding fund,
we'll we'll celebrate in.
If it's saving, putting themoney towards the wedding fund,
we'll we'll celebrate in thatregard or something like that.
But there's not like an eventthat we'll do in celebration,
like we'll go out for a nicedinner once in a blue moon to
celebrate if we have a reallysuccessful month, but it's a
very rare thing.
Like with the state of thecanadian economy, it's very

(38:46):
difficult uh, even working andstreaming, to have enough income
to go out and just splurge onsomething.
Yeah, I mean like living isn'tcheap.
Yeah, there's not reallyanything in particular that we
do for celebrating other than Iguess the just the presence and
vibes of one another.

Speaker 2 (39:02):
Okay, so you were talking about the struggles of
having a full time job, tryingto meet all of your personal
goals and making sure you'refocusing on your relationship
and yeah what you want toachieve in your life, and I'm
sure that, with all of thosethings on your mind, streaming
can sometimes feel like a grind.
Oh so what keeps you going?
Is it chasing the win?
Is it sharing the journey?

(39:23):
What is it?

Speaker 1 (39:24):
There's a couple things, definitely a it's just
now with how long I've beendoing.
It's just a habit, it's likeformatted into routine.
When I had more free time itwas more so.
The journey of just if I cangrow, if I can get more of a
following, if I can likefinances or something, but
they're not everything.
There's some months that I'mstreaming and it's like the

(39:47):
amount of gifted subs that I'vereceived from one singular
person is just insane.
So if I'm grinding for morecontent, like more clips, if I'm
grinding for more viewers, ifI'm grinding for trying to hit a
new rank in Valve, can I hitRadiant?
Can I hit Immortal 3, this act,those are kind of like the main
things that keep me going.
The hype that my communityprovides for me is just
astronomical.

(40:07):
The love that I receive, likenot just financially but
emotionally, is just insane.

Speaker 3 (40:12):
So the sharing those moments of struggle or like with
your community what does thatsay about who region is like or
how your community sees you?

Speaker 1 (40:20):
I don't want to be like a 100% open book, because I
believe that everyone doesdeserve some sort of balance
between freedom of personal life.
But I try my absolute best tobe as open as I feel appropriate
with my viewers.
I try to talk to them aboutwhat I did throughout the day.
I try to talk about how I'mphysically feeling on an

(40:41):
emotional level.
I try my absolute best for themto feel like they're connected
with me and they're not justwatching a TV show.
I want them to know me.

Speaker 3 (40:51):
I saw a clip where you were talking about you know,
it was like I think it wasrecent.
Actually you were talking aboutyour heart, like with your,
your viewers, and you weretalking about hey man, it's not
that big a deal, but like thisis something I deal with, just,
and like you go through stuffand I think that vulnerability
helps people want to be part ofthat.

Speaker 1 (41:11):
I think, because I share a lot of stuff about me,
allows them to feel like they'reable to share a lot of stuff
with them.
And I don't.
I don't make anyone do it, theyjust reach out to me and try to
get my advice and then it goesfrom there.
For example, I have one guy.
He doesn't watch me too muchanymore but he's reached out to
me recently and it's justbecause he's simply been working
50 hours a week trying to liveon his own and it's been very

(41:33):
difficult for him.
But back when he was in gradeseven and I was in grade, I
think, 10 or 11 and I juststarted streaming, he wrote it's
on my wall, actually rightbeside me.
He wrote a letter not directedto me initially.
A letter not directed to meinitially.
It was for a final project hehad in like grade seven class,

(41:53):
about who inspires you.
It talks about everything howmy streams have helped him.
It talks about what he enjoysabout me and all that stuff.
It's a like a big paragraph andhe wasn't even supposed to have
his phone out and take thepicture.
But I'm so happy to have it onmy wall.
I've had it there for four orfive years now.
I love it that's freakingbeautiful.

Speaker 3 (42:15):
I think those are the moments like where you're out
there and like you're grinding,you're trying to like make
things happen.
You're like damn, it is worthit.
Yeah, I wonder all right if wetook a step back right and we
tried to imagine what doesregion look like?

Speaker 1 (42:28):
Like people see you on stream, some days it's
beautiful, some days it's ugly,just like anyone, but I'm trying
my best to make sure it leansmore towards the one side.
No one's perfect.
Imagine like region walks in aroom.
Right, how would I describemyself?
Like?
I have a lot of tattoos andwear dangly earrings.
My hair used to be blonde andfor some reason it's growing

(42:49):
brown now.
I always wear a backwardssnapback.
I'm always wearing shorts orsweatpants, unless I have to
dress up for a special occasionbecause I like being comfy.

Speaker 2 (42:59):
What kind of energy are you trying to bring I?

Speaker 1 (43:02):
try to be.
I want people to feel welcomeIf someone's willing to give the
chat and channel a chance and Iwant everyone to just feel
welcome.
And I understand that there'sgoing to be.
There's going to be issues hereand there.

Speaker 2 (43:14):
Do you think that is in line with how you show up
when you're loading into arandom game on Valorant and you
don't know what you're walkinginto?

Speaker 1 (43:24):
I'd say three, four years ago I was a lot more toxic
and more egoist.
Where it was like I'm better,everyone shut up, and now it's.
Let's provide upbeat contentand more positive content.
I'll still try my best, but I'dsay three, four years ago it
was more like egoist very like.
I'm better than y'all, buteveryone grows and changes and
moves just like the water, right, that's.
That was just like a steppingstone for me.

(43:46):
I'm happy I'm not like thatanymore.
But yeah, when I'm loading intoa match, I usually try to,
especially in Valorant, whereit's more of like a team game,
opposed to a match like cod orfortnight or something.
We're just playing in discordcall, not talking to other
people.
I try my best to have the teamcommunicate as soon as I spawn

(44:06):
in.
So I'll just ask him like hey,how you guys doing?
Hey, any mics something likethat communicate as soon as I
spawn in, so I'll just ask himlike hey, how you guys doing,
hey, any mics, something likethat Are you trying?

Speaker 2 (44:17):
is your purpose for that like trying to build like a
cohesive team that communicatesand can get the objective done,
or are you focusing more onlet's get the vibes up before
all vibing, we're gonna enjoy it, and if we're enjoying it,
we're more likely to play wellit's like a vibe catcher.

Speaker 1 (44:29):
So, like the second, you do that right off the rip.
You're going to establishwithin the first 10 seconds what
the game is going to be like.
If no one's talking, you'repretty much cooked.
Sometimes it doesn't just comedown to kills, and having the
vibes up definitely does help,because when you're not
stressing and the game doesn'tfeel like you're on a pro match

(44:50):
and you're just vibing outhaving fun, usually people's
flow state can be better ifyou're miserable and grumpy.
Usually not all the time, youstill play good if you're
miserable, but I've noticed thatat least with myself is I play
better if I'm feeling good.
Yeah, dude, you got to come atit positively for sure.
Yeah, yeah, some days it's hardto.
That's the goal, that's thegoal.

Speaker 3 (45:09):
So let's imagine, let's imagine, like, what is the
signature thing that Reginalways has in his hand?

Speaker 1 (45:16):
As far as me goes, in real life my mouse.

Speaker 3 (45:19):
but if it's more like metaphorically, yeah,
metaphorically, man Like yourdigital avatar.

Speaker 1 (45:25):
Oh man, that's hard.
I think the mouse would lookgood on the digital avatar, like
holding a mouse and keyboard.
But yeah, I think that would goreally hard.
Actually because I'm sodedicated to the PC now where
I'm so straight away fromconsole where I literally got a
tattoo of the movement keys fromthe keyboard tattooed on my arm
.

Speaker 2 (45:42):
That's awesome.

Speaker 1 (45:44):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (45:44):
That's actually such a good idea.
Can I steal?

Speaker 3 (45:46):
that.

Speaker 1 (45:50):
I'm sure other people have it.
I'm not the first one, soyou're good.

Speaker 2 (45:52):
Yeah, no, it's awesome man, you know that like
your mouse pads were, from whatI recall, were always like anime
.
Right, so is there like a, ananime that you're super drawn to
.
With the weapon.
Are you like death note?
You want a pen in your hand.
What's your vibe?
What's the deal?

Speaker 1 (46:09):
I'd just do a keyboard and mouse That'd be
fire, like, maybe.
Like the color scheme, beingwhite and blue, is definitely my
colors.
But, you don't need toovercomplicate it.
White and blue with a keyboardand mouse, and maybe one thing
you could add that would be fire.
If it renders that way, youdon't need to do this.
But you know the Raina Learsfrom Valorant.

(46:30):
Yes, I will get you guys apicture like me, like holding a
rain, a leer in one hand andlike a keyboard or mouse in the
other hand.
that would be crazy no, that'dbe super cool because my profile
picture, my logo right now, ismy fiance drew.
It's me holding the jet knives,which is pretty nice, but I
think the rain, a leer, would gohard.
I just holding it likelevitating above my hand okay

(46:53):
we've been trying new stuff.

Speaker 3 (46:54):
It worked last episode, so we'll see if we can
make a cook this episode.

Speaker 1 (46:58):
If it doesn't work, it doesn't work.
Honestly, I've looked at allthe other ones.
If it doesn't work.

Speaker 3 (47:01):
My wife is the designer and she'll like just
Photoshop it in.

Speaker 2 (47:04):
There you go.
I can send her some picturesand she'll make it happen.

Speaker 3 (47:18):
Is reroll the thing where you make the card, or is
it just yeah, bro, buddy.
So here's our, here's our game.
We play on the gamer tagpodcast, so it's re-roll.
Throughout the episode, we'vebeen taking notes on your
signature style and vibe, yourkey personality traits, your
favorite genres and worlds,visual inspirations that you
talked about, and just trying to, like, capture the essence of
our conversation with you.
Right, and what we want to doand what we do on the show is we
play a game called re-roll.
We visualize your digitalidentity, right?

(47:41):
We've got a set of things we'regoing to read to you and we'll
show you the screen, we'll showyou the prompt as we, as we
enter all of these things in.
Then that'll be the firstre-roll, what we've captured
about you.
From once we render the firstreroll, you will have two
options to reroll, so you canchange anything you want about
the picture.
So are you ready?
Oh, yeah, you ready to playreroll?

Speaker 1 (48:01):
Yes, all right.
I was saying I was saying to abunch of my viewers on stream
where I said it was on a podcastset up super excited to get it
going, because the main thing,like I said before, that caught
my eye was these cards that youget at the end.
Man, I think it's so cool, likemartha showed me hers when she
first introduced this to me andI was like that card looks sick
and I looked at all the otherones.

Speaker 3 (48:20):
I was like damn, let's go all right so, okay,
what we're gonna do now is I'mgonna share my screen and then
rhinoceros is gonna read to youwhat we captured about you
during the interview.
Let's get it what we capturedabout you during the interview.

Speaker 2 (48:33):
Let's get it.

Speaker 4 (48:37):
A competitive and fearless individual, regin
thrives on outperforming othersand chasing the adrenaline rush
of victory.
A natural leader and coach whois driven by a deep desire to
push himself and his team to theabsolute best, always with an
upbeat and positive energy.
While playing as a duelist inValorant, he brings a unique

(49:00):
blend of skills and flair, nevershying away from showing his
true self to the viewers.
His gameplay style is a fusionof high-energy plays and
effective communication, oftenserving as the team's foundation
and motivator.
With an affinity for games likeCall of Duty, valorant and
Overwatch, he embodies thespirit of a player who is both
tactical and engaging.

(49:20):
His visual style is a mix ofValorant and anime-inspired
aesthetics, blended withcomforting elements like a
backwards snapback, sweatpantsand signature accessories like a
mouse and keyboard, with deepersymbolic influences like
Reyna's leer, embodying theperfect mix of strength,
fluidity and balance.
Always welcoming and open, hecreates an environment where

(49:44):
others feel both motivated andcomfortable to be themselves.

Speaker 3 (49:50):
Let's go.

Speaker 1 (50:23):
So, regan, are you ready?
Are you ready?
That was amazing.
Let's go.
I see the snapback.
I see the gaming chair.
I see a monitor.
Oh my goodness, freaking wait,wait.
That is insane, it looks likejets coming out.

Speaker 3 (50:31):
Look, whatever jets holding is outside of the
monitor bro, she's like, she'sholding like a futuristic TV
remote.

Speaker 1 (50:36):
Bro, this looks mad.
Bro, the Lear looks amazing.

Speaker 2 (50:39):
The mouse and keyboard setup looks great,
looks so good.
I'm actually impressed.

Speaker 1 (50:42):
The backwards hat looks great.
It even has an earring, likeit's.

Speaker 3 (50:46):
It's I wear earrings bro, so Tell me what you want to
do, bro.

Speaker 1 (50:56):
Tell me what you want to do, bro.
Tell me how many re-rolls do weget two?
Do you get two?
Okay, okay.
So we're gonna keep everythingthe same, but we're gonna try to
give myself a thin frame, pairof glasses, a gold chain because
I always wear a gold chain witha with a cross on it.
And you could, you could Hmm,we could do slightly more
tattoos.

Speaker 3 (51:16):
Alright.
So the prompt we're adding is Ilove everything about this.
Please don't change anything.
I would like to add a thin pairof glasses, a gold chain with a
cross on it, and could you addslightly more tattoos to the
arms.
Please Add gold rings to thefingers.
Change the earring to a goldencross with diamonds on it.
Yeah, that sounds great.

(51:36):
All right, regine, are youready to do your second re-roll?

Speaker 1 (51:44):
Oh, my goodness it's rendering.

Speaker 3 (51:45):
What do you think about this picture, bro?
You get one re-roll left, Ithink the picture's excellent.

Speaker 1 (51:50):
I don't even know if I want to change it.

Speaker 2 (51:52):
Do you see yourself in the picture?

Speaker 1 (51:56):
I seem like if I went to the gym more and had more of
a sharp jawline.
That's me.
My glasses don't look exactlylike mine, but truthfully,
they're so close and, yes, Iabsolutely see myself in that
picture.

Speaker 3 (52:12):
Sweet man, A whole goal of this whole re-roll
segment is to see if you canfeel seen.

Speaker 1 (52:17):
That's fire dude.
That looks incredible man.
The temptation to re-roll justbecause I can is there.

Speaker 3 (52:29):
What do you want to do?
You want to do something wild.

Speaker 1 (52:31):
I think realistically I should keep it.
I would be down the re-roll forentertainment purposes and then
use this picture, if you guyswant to edit it out or not.
I'm so down, but I think thisis the picture that I would go
with.

Speaker 3 (52:46):
The title for your card is the Duelist Prophet.
There's no shot.
You have an arcane eye in hand,gold crossed and tattoo bound.
He plays like a storm sharp,soulful and built for the
spotlight.
So I guess, like one of thequestions I've wanted to ask you
right in the name region.
So if you can like, regrowsomething in your offline life

(53:09):
with the same resilience thatyou carry in your name, like a
hobby you left behind or a goalyou started, what would it be
and how?
Hobby you left behind or a goalyou started, what would it be
and how would you approach itdifferently now that you're at
this stage in your life andyou've built this community?

Speaker 1 (53:21):
One thing that I used to love doing a lot that I
don't do anymore, that much isdrumming.
I used to have a drummingchannel totally separate from
the thing, and I wish that I wasable to drum more.

Speaker 3 (53:30):
That's cool, man, everything happened thing, and I
wish that I was able to drummore.
It's cool, man.
Everything happened for areason.
Yeah, man, everything happensfor a reason for sure.

Speaker 2 (53:37):
I have one last question after all of the things
that we've talked about yourbeginnings, how you got into
gaming, how you got intostreaming, what it means to you,
the brand that you've built.
We've now put an image to it.
If you had to step outside ofthe persona and just look at
yourself from the outside, whatdo you?

(53:59):
What do you think you havetaught yourself?

Speaker 1 (54:03):
That's a really good question.
Oh, my goodness, Wow.
From all the experiences I hadwith other people and how much I
didn't realize that I washelping other people, I feel
like if I wasn't a streamer andI was looking in on this person
here, I feel like I would becomfortable and confident
talking to them about my issuesthat I'm having in life and

(54:25):
seeking advice from him I feelwould be something that I would
value.
That I would value and I alsofeel like I don't trust everyone
, but I would trust them to anextent of being able to talk
about my emotions and feelingswith.
But yeah, I think that's how Iwould view myself.

(54:46):
At least I would hope I wouldview myself.

Speaker 3 (54:49):
So at the end of the show, this is the final thing we
like to hand the whole floor toour guests.
So the floor is yours, whateveryou want to say to your
community, oh all right, I thinkI'm just going to keep it basic
