EP 363 - Dr Disrespect, Kai Cenat, State of Play

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
So for me, when I when I was starting to bald,

(00:04):
I felt like I was doing a good job hiding it.
I was just letting my hair grow a lot.
But you could still see like the thinning hair, even though it was a lot of hair.
And then I had a friend who bet me 10 bucks.
Like, I bet you 10 bucks, you can't shave it.
And I don't know for bets.
I just I go all out.
So I shaved my head, got 10 bucks.
I've been shaving my head ever since, dude.

(00:26):
You know, who has aura, though, with
and he keeps his hair and is like balding as fuck.
Walton Goggins, that guy is.
I don't know. He looks kind of swag.
Welcome back to another episode of the weekly DLC.
We're what is the every DLC monthly at this point, every three to two weeks,
four weeks. But we're back.

(00:46):
We got some interesting topics because things have been happening.
We have Dr.
Disrespect and some issues.
We have Kaisa not and some issues.
And then we have the state of play, which we'll talk about.
But for now, it's about what we've been up to.
For me, I've been playing Monster Hunter Wilds only today.

(01:08):
But and so I've always weighed 230 pounds.
I am officially under 200.
I am one ninety nine point six.
The heaviest I've ever was was 230.
The heaviest, I think at some point I hit like
238, like close to 240.

(01:29):
But like I always average around 230.
That's good. And I've lost that.
And I'm going to keep going another 30 pounds with with muscle.
So I plan on being like 170.
But the thing is, I I know I'm skinnier, but I don't like
I still don't see it in myself like when I look in the mirror.
But I know that I'm getting there.
Well, I mean, you can tell if your genes.

(01:52):
I all my clothes fit better, but I still don't like mentally like see it.
But it's not stopping me whatsoever.
It's not like demotimating me or anything like that.
But and then I cleaned up the room.
So then I'm going to start reading books now.
Maybe we'll see.
I haven't started yet, but I'm going to try to do one book a month.

(02:14):
What's the first book?
Do you know? I'm going to finish the should do it.
You know, this is this is a when I was trying to get
you back into read something short.
Don't read something crazy long or read a book of short stories.
The thing is, I'm not
I'm not trying to do it as an achievement.
I just want to like start reading again and hopefully be like a book a month.

(02:37):
But if it's a book every two months, that's going to be fine for me.
It's good. So I don't have like this.
Read one. You're ahead of a lot of people like over 50 percent.
And audiobooks count, I think.
I agree with you, which I feel like that should be a topic.
But because the thing is, like, there's people that people that don't read,
don't even listen to audiobooks.
So that's already a step ahead of that.

(02:59):
So if you if you're just listening to audiobooks, you're good to go.
That's what I feel like. But what?
Well, there is a topic. Oh, but it was big on TikTok.
But I know nothing about it.
Me neither. Probably Rotten Mango.
Stephanie Seuss podcast was talking about some YouTube.
Oh, yeah. But I mean, we're not going to talk about it.

(03:19):
But I'm just saying, OK, there was some drama.
Yeah. And dude, I'm a shout out to Stephanie Sue.
I remember her early days of TikTok.
She started off mukbang and she transitioned to
true crime and it has taken her to the sky.
Nice, nice props to her.

(03:41):
But that was that was it for me. What about you for this?
Let's see this month.
No games.
I think I played Fortnite just to get Godzilla.
And then a new season happened and I didn't play the new season.
I know Roberto is playing it because Spike Spiegel.
Oh, yeah. He got it.
And then he played he literally played it until he got a Victor Royale.

(04:03):
And then he met me at the gym.
What did he think? What does he think of the game?
Because I'm assuming that's the first time he's ever played.
No, no. He played it when Metal Gear came out,
when Solid Snake came out, because he bought that skin
and his second skin is Spikes Beagle.
But I think the way he's done is he bought the skin for Metal Gear,
for Solid Snake.

(04:23):
His first game, he Victory Royale.
And then I think he's not playing this one.
He I know his second win was the Victory Royale.
And I think he stopped playing that one, too.
He just literally buys the skin, plays the game and that's it.
So it sucks because the cowboy bop is only
the Faye and Spike.

(04:43):
Yeah. But I want Ein.
Oh, no, no. I mean, I mean, not Ein.
The girl. Yeah.
Yeah. Oh, well, is it supposed to be a girl?
I actually don't know. We don't know.
It's like it could be. Yeah.
But played and just played for.
And I finished two more books.
Eight. Damn.
So I got two more and I'm done with 10.

(05:04):
But that's crazy.
It's zero. Three months now. Zero.
Oh, tick tock videos about the books.
And I have the ideas for it.
And like now that I've stopped reading it, like I don't want to make the videos
anymore, like I'm done with the book, but I still want to make this one video.
Make it as you read it like, don't like don't worry about how you edit
or what the content is.

(05:25):
Just that's a good point, because I'm trying to make reviews
that are not spoilers. So it doesn't even matter. Yeah.
Because the thing is, you just have to get it out there and you can like
do multiple videos, like have a video of like that day you read,
like the, you know, half the book and then the other day
that you read the other half of the book essentially.
And just like, right, right.
Like, you know what I'm doing today, like this is what I've done

(05:47):
because like, honestly, that's the thing that also it sucks with me.
I want to like
from the get go, make a video, but I want to plan it all out.
And then it just it stops me because of the planning.
I just need to like to record in a lot of my videos
that I actually release are not planned to record and send it to an editor.
From the Philippines.

(06:09):
But yeah, so I finished them in the Miso.
So it looks like I've read a lot, but it's not entirely true
because I'm reading short.
They're really, they're really short.
OK, so in the Miso soup is a short book.
It's by Riu Murakami and.

(06:29):
Wow, it's considered so.
I was at the LA Times Book Festival and this girl in line.
We're waiting in line for someone.
She we're talking about books and she's like, oh, I recommend in the Miso soup.
And I knew of it, but I had no interest in reading it.
But it's from the guy who made Audition.
No, the movie. Yeah.
So that book turned into a movie.

(06:51):
And I was like, you know what?
It's a short book. I want to read it.
And I read it and it's supposed to be really disgusting.
I wasn't disgusted by it.
It was like, yeah, whatever.
I mean, it was kind of graphic.
But is it like the scene in in Fight Club
where he's like only clean food and he's like, I
don't recommend this soup. No, no, it's like worse than that.
I mean, it's like gory.
Like, oh, it's like a crazy thing.

(07:12):
I thought things like got put into the soup that you don't want.
Yeah, it gets it gets crazy.
But I mean, long story short, it's a it's about a kid.
He's like a tour guide, but for sex in Japan.
And so this white guy comes in and a guy, Jim, they call him guy.
He comes in and he wants to have sex.

(07:36):
And so he hires him and they go on for a while.
Wow. It turns crazy.
It gets fucking crazy.
And I'm at points of the book.
I'm like, damn, is this real?
Like, I'm like questioning it as like, is the white guy, is he a robot?
Is even real?
Like because the way they describe it is so fucking like robotic.

(07:57):
And yeah, it's weird.
Like, yeah, he would do very weird things.
Is the tour tour guide like he the white guy asks, like, I want to do this.
And he finds people that are willing to do that kind of thing.
No, he's just he just in it for the money.
So he's just like, I mean, he knows all the spots.
Oh, OK. OK.
So he just takes some of the areas and then he does that shit.
But he he wants like like he'll do things like he wants details.

(08:19):
He's like, so like, how was it like to the girl?
And this is the boy.
Yeah, yeah. He wants to know.
I don't know why. Yeah, yeah.
He's like, woman, this is like, I don't know.
He felt like metal, like robot.
I'm like, this is fucking weird, dude.
Like, I was like, man, this is fucking weird.
But yeah, it was it was a it was a good read.

(08:40):
And then I read, fuck, this is recommended by TikTok.
And it's kind of it's like a mixed review, but it's called A Short Stay in Hell.
And it's it's written.
It's it's a crazy book because it's written by a guy who's a hardcore Mormon.
But it's about hell.
And so in hell, if you don't.
So the guy, the main character is a Mormon,
but he chose the wrong religion, so he goes to hell.

(09:02):
Oh, and they're like, oh, shit.
So what's the right religion?
They tell him he tells him what the right religion is.
This is like a real source denim or something.
It's a weird old religion.
And he's like, you didn't since you didn't believe it, you're going to hell.
He's like, what's hell?
He's like, well, you're going to be in this library and it's filled with like
it's not infinite.
There's a finite number, but it's filled with like billions

(09:24):
and billions on the billions power of books.
But you have to pick the book.
You have to pick the correct book.
And the correct book is the book that tells your life story.
But there can't be no grammatical errors.
So you can pick the right book and find a book that has your life story,
but it has like all these spelled wrong.
Yeah. And that's not the book.
And once you find a book, you deposit it and then you get sent to heaven.

(09:49):
Does it talk about like inserting the wrong book?
See, they don't do that.
They never no one ever did it in the book.
Because like, let's say I'm like, I'm sitting down reading the books
to find the like the grammatically correct book.
And then I didn't realize there's a letter of word spelled wrong.
And I turn it in thinking it's mine.
They don't mention it. No one ever tried it.

(10:09):
So he just like, reason all until he.
But it's crazy because like.
It's. It's not infinite,
but the concept is like, damn, even if it's a finite number,
if it's a really large number, it's you're never going to find it.
Like, I think he like.
Because it's like it's weird, it's like vertical, too.

(10:30):
So he decides to jump off.
And when you jump off, you know, he jumped off for years
and he still didn't hit the ground.
Oh, shit. So it's.
And if you kill yourself, you get reincarnated.
Yeah. So now. So you.
Um, but it's like, is it really hell, though?
Because like you get you can eat whatever you want,
whatever you ask for, they give it to you.

(10:51):
And then, you know, you can't you can't kill yourself.
But it gets fucking crazy because like, I don't know.
It just makes you think like.
And most of the books are gibberish.
So it's like the monkey typing thing. Yeah.
Yeah. So you pick up a book and then they're like,
it's just like punctuation marks.
Like, what the fuck? Yeah.
And every like they sell they kind of organize

(11:14):
and they're trying to find books for if they find a complete book.
They haven't found a complete book like a thousand years of past.
They found a book with a sentence and they're like, they're like, yes,
we found we found something.
And they're like, dude, this is fucking hopeless.
See hope. But it's crazy because this is like there's multiple people here.
Like this is like hell online. Yeah.

(11:34):
And the thing is, he goes just really deep because most of the people
are congregating down the top. OK.
He goes really deep.
He doesn't mean he goes so deep that he hasn't met anyone for years.
Oh, wow. So your mind starts going crazy.
Oh, yeah. As what is it, the imprisoning solitaire, solitary.
Yeah, it's crazy because they'll do things like they get so bored.

(11:57):
They play a game of tag that lasts years, but it's fun because there's nothing else.
Yeah. Yeah. You're never going to find the book.
So yeah, it's it's it's I was I recommend that book.
It's I finished it. It's it's an hour and a half read.
OK, it's fucking fast. It's good. Fuck.
Yeah. And then I finally watched.

(12:18):
Interstellar and damn, I wish I reacted to it.
That is Christopher Nolan's like most emotional movie for sure.
It's really good. Yeah, it's I like the concept of like him
really well like coming back.
Pre-destination. Yeah, yeah.

(12:38):
And then the cast is like like, dude, it was crazy.
So the one of the astronauts, I was looking at him like this guy looks fucking familiar.
I just don't know where he's from.
And I looked at it from the Hunger Games.
I was like, OK, I recognize.
But he kind of has the same beard. Yeah.
I was like, yeah. So another one down for Christopher Nolan.

(13:04):
I've only seen like half his films, so.
I need to watch Dune, too.
I haven't seen that one yet. It's on Netflix.
I know you're watching.
I need to rewatch it because I fell asleep, even though it was my favorite film of the year.
I fell asleep. I was tired.
But I know the next Dune film is going to be sick.

(13:24):
And that's still not the last one, right?
It's not. He's not even the main character of the series.
Atreides? No. Yeah, that's him.
What's the oh, yeah, Paul Atreides.
And what's the dad's name?
I don't know. I thought it was the Paul.
He's not even the main character.
It's crazy. It's his son that's the main character.

(13:46):
So we haven't even gotten to the main plot.
I've seen his mom.
His mom shows up in Dune, too.
Split second. His mom being
Paul Atreides' mom or the wife of Paul Atreides?
The mother, the wife of Paul Atreides.
OK. And it's played by Anna Taylor Joy.
She's in it. She's in it for like 10 seconds.

(14:07):
Five seconds. Oh, shit.
Yeah. Other than that, on to the next book, I don't know what I what I should read next.
Audition. I might read that or.
I don't know. I feel like I need to read them
because I like to read nonfiction and fiction.
I feel like I need to read a nonfiction book.
So I'm thinking about reading fresh off the boat only because

(14:30):
he's getting viral on Tiktok.
Eddie Hong. So yeah, I saw the thing about the dog.
Yeah. Yeah. He had gone.
You know, so Eddie Huang, like, you know, he may fresh off the boat.
It's loosely based off his life, but he talks.
In an urban manner, so he's, you know, urban usually means like less educated.

(14:52):
Yeah, that guy's a smart.
He's a lawyer, man. He's a smart as dude.
Like, you ever see him talk about race?
Intelligent man, dude. Intelligent.
I mean, he was smart enough not to react to that guy after he was like that.
Like I was doing some insults, man.
Yeah. Yeah, very much so.
I know that you went to Twitch.

(15:14):
Oh, I don't know if you want to talk about that.
Which I like.
Twitch, Twitch, Smellay.
Still the same. It wasn't like anything crazy.
No, it's it's like, dude, you got to do your own network.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I talked to Kaisa. OK.
She's the girl that does like political takes like, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

(15:35):
And I think she's kind of surprised that someone working as a go.
You make as I saw her as a great tick tock.
So, yeah, Kaisa, right?
He's like, yeah, I was like, you know, mean beats are talking to her for a minute.
OK, OK. Yeah.
Other than that.
Twitch smell is Twitch smell is the same also.
It was just Dallas.
I I don't like going there is too far.

(15:55):
I know, dude, it's so far.
But yeah, I was so that was Saturday, I think.
Yeah, I was barely coming off of a sickness.
And then for Tuesday, I was worried that I was still going to be sick.
So I wanted to just cancel the plans.
And then I think I was pretty much good on Tuesday.
So we could have done it, but I went I wanted to rest.

(16:18):
It's been like it was it was packed.
It was usually the last time I went to that kind of event at that location.
It was only like 10 people.
This one was like packed, packed, packed.
But a lot of people getting in the street just every year,
more and more people are getting in the streets.
Yeah, it's it's tough.

(16:40):
I know there is like Twitch news about not needing to be sponsored anymore.
Oh, yeah. You could just start making money off the get go.
That's good. That's a good thing.
And I wonder I want to know if there's people pissed about that.
I they're they're pissed because they believe that getting like
affiliate and then sponsor is like the right way to do it.

(17:00):
But the thing is, it's like the for affiliate, it wasn't that that much.
Like you only had to have like 10 consecutive viewers, which honestly,
that just means you're just consistently streaming.
That's all that means.
But. Anything else for you?
Try any food spots.

(17:22):
In L.A. No, I'm just trying to be healthy, dude.
Healthy grain.
Oh, no. Healthy grain.
You want to jump into it, then?
You want to start with Kaisan or with Dr.
Disrespect says to cry and it's the case enough.
So he the one I know of is just recently he talked about

(17:45):
how people can watch.
Hmm. Pewds, Pewds, PewDiePie on YouTube.
But honestly, his his audience is is just as bad.
Like, how can people watch him?
I mean, I watch him.
But like, the thing is, like, there's people that could,
from the outside perspective, can be like, how can you watch him?
Like, he's just like trying to play a game and he keeps dying.

(18:08):
So what do you think?
It's just a weird take.
It's a weird. Yeah, because it's like it's everyone's different.
So like the fact that you got huge, like, could also be weird.
So it's like also like there's an audience for everything.
Yeah, there are there are people who like watching.
There's an audience for us.
There's people who are like watching Pew.
There's people who like watching us.

(18:30):
But yeah, I mean, just to say, like everyone has their own tastes.
And I can see why PewDiePie got famous,
but he was an early adopter, too. Yeah. Yeah.
He's dude. He was like the dude that.
Whenever you see people do scary games, he was the prototype.

(18:51):
He was the originator of that shit.
So I think PewDiePie is entertaining.
I think so, too, man.
When he used to do the what was it, the happy meal time or something?
Yeah. Yeah. Like the little bike game or whatever that you would do.
I love those things, because it was like super quick, like videos of like
just him trying it, getting annihilated and being what the fuck.

(19:14):
But at the same time, he has had some bad takes. Yeah.
But but like everyone, like after you've been online for so long,
you will like have a bad take.
Like it just is what it is because everyone has their own mentality
and they think, you know, everything they think is right.
And then when you when you put it on the Internet,

(19:36):
you're going to have people that are going to argue with you.
And that's my biggest fear, dude.
One day some guy is going to bring back something.
Yeah. I say I'm like, fuck, did I say?
Yeah. Holy shit. Yeah.
But I mean, I feel I mean.
I think intuitively people don't know that they're going to have to deal with that.
But I think it's something that every streamer will have to deal with, you know.

(19:57):
We had extra Emily have to deal with it.
Yeah. So it just it just happens.
Even though she didn't intentionally say that word, people were like, oh,
and then she jokingly said something that was that word.
And that's where it got even worse for her.
But I don't know.
I feel like there comes a point where you need to hire a PR person.

(20:22):
Like when you're making a lot of money, you think so?
I mean, the thing is, so this is like a bad take for him,
but it's not a take that would ruin like his career.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. But I think Emily thing.
OK, OK, OK. But I do feel like for Kai,
this is a moment where it's like he should like he should double think

(20:43):
the the getting a PR person because he in the future,
he could say something that's not correct and people will cancel him.
Definitely could happen.
I know the other thing about Kaisen not was.
We'll talk about it.
That streamer who said, how can he who plans out all of his streams

(21:07):
when he does like the Batman cave, this is Batman.
Yet there's three streamers, specifically Valkyrae.
Pokey main Pokey main and Sina, who just perm their hair.
And then they got just as many views as as Kai.
And it's it depends on the audience.

(21:29):
It literally is your audience.
Like there's so many people in the world that you can split these audiences
and they would still like those numbers to us are super significant.
I think overall, like there could be they could be even bigger.
So it's not that big of like I don't think it's a crazy take.
Like to see these things happening.
I'm going to say something. Go for it.

(21:53):
Attractiveness sells. Yeah, yes.
So that's why they're getting the views.
100 percent in to counter that Ludwig shaved his head and he's losing fucking
these bald discrimination.
So what we're saying is we as bald guys can't can't get the views, man.
That's right. You know, this is like a tangent.

(22:13):
But if you notice, like bald people, it's like characterized in fiction
to be villains usually Lex Luthor and blah, blah, blah.
That's why I have a lot of respect for one punch man because he's bald.
He's like the only bald good guy. Yeah, like good guy. God damn.
And even in one punch man, like I remember reading the manga,

(22:33):
they're they're talking about the news.
He's like, yeah, there's a bad guy roaming the streets.
He might be bald and you see like so time go what?
Bald people are evil. Like unless like Nancy.
Fuck, you can't catch a break, man.
Well, that's where we need to change history.
Ludwig, he's finding out bald is being bald is hard mode, man.

(22:55):
But the thing is, the thing that I hate is he's finding this out and he can't.
He doesn't. He has a choice.
He can grow his hair back. We can't grow.
I mean, we could, but there's wigs. It wouldn't.
Would you wear wigs? Would you wear wigs?
But yeah. And then I don't know.
Do you have anything else to say on this one?

(23:17):
No, everyone has their there's people who like rage streamers
and people who like people who don't talk and are really good at the game.
There's an audience for everything. Yeah, definitely.
Audience for everything.
And the major one attractiveness.
But not for bald people.
Or if you're going to go bald, have a good shaped head.
Sorry, Ludwig. Yes.

(23:39):
And then next up is Dr. Disrespect.
Sheesh.
So from my understanding is he got he went on a ramp because he got upset
that people that were streaming with him and said were his friends were now like.
Stepping away.
But honestly, bro, if you're if you're doing the things you're doing,

(23:59):
I don't want to be associated with you, even if we were friends.
Like at some point.
An online presence, I can't be associated with you because then I'm also seen as like.
I think it depends, like if Dr.
Disrespect came out and said.
Like, you know, I did that, I did it.
Yeah, I'm sorry.

(24:20):
And as a friend, I'd be like, damn, I need to make steps to improve this.
I wouldn't walk away from it.
All depended on his apology.
But what is current apology? Of course, I would not associate.
But even then, like the thing is, so he got caught.
He kind of like apologized, but then he came back doubling down.
And it's like that's where it ruined it.
Like he did get some people that were like, yeah, fuck, yeah, disrespect.

(24:43):
Like, but the people that are like, no, this is not OK.
Like you should have just apologized and never came back to this ever again.
They're the ones who are like, I can't associate with you anymore.
And then so then obviously he made that rant.
He said stuff like people like that.
Yeah, there's every day. Knocked out.
Yeah. Oh, these are like fighting.

(25:03):
They're fake. They're not friends.
It's like Lupo bites my style.
And it's like he only averages 400 of you.
And then other people responded.
And I think you I don't know exactly what the response was like.
He said something like, yeah, I'm sorry.
Like you put us in a bad spot.

(25:24):
Like and he said, like, you're calling us for me, dude.
You dress up in a costume.
You're the one that's phone.
I'm like, man, this is getting fucking heated.
Well, you know what's crazy about the whole situation, though, is.
He doesn't talk crap about Tim the tab, Tim kind of like
I think he cut himself off from him, but I know he's talked about Tim

(25:46):
after the this thing happened, he would say Tim's a nice guy.
I think see, this is what I think happens.
And I don't mean to talk bad on anyone.
I don't think Tim cut ties with Dr.
Dittrespekt privately. OK.
So they probably talk in text and stuff like that.
Like, hey, hey, man, you're doing OK, like blah, blah, blah.

(26:07):
So that but publicly he's he doesn't like he doesn't even contact him.
Doesn't you know that that's I think that's where it is.
And that's probably what Dr.
Dittrespekt wants. But the thing is,
you know, some people don't like kind of blend their private life
with their public life.
So it's like if I don't talk to him public, I can't talk to him private.
Like, you know, but I think that's something that probably Tim is doing

(26:29):
is he's talking to him in private and still like hitting him up and stuff.
So I'm assuming that's why he still likes Tim.
What's crazy is when we met Dr.
Dittrespekt at the Game Awards, that was a week before
the cheating scandal came out.
He was with his wife, too.
It's like, Dan, that's fucking the timing of that.

(26:51):
Geez.
Whew.
I mean, damn, Dean, like he's not just done one thing like he's he's a talent.
I had to I hate to admit he's a talented streamer.
He's very funny.
And it's just like, you know, what's funny is we were what was it?
Was it a Twitch con?
We saw Beam with or well, Dr.

(27:14):
Dittrespekt without his and I was like, I think that's that fool's him.
I think he's him.
And then I saw his his tick tock.
All right. Not as a talk, his Twitter that was not his his persona.
The doctor disrespect.
He like I would have never known, like, honestly, if I see that account
and then see Dr. Dittrespekt, I would never know it's the same person.

(27:36):
Yeah, he looks different.
He looks. Yeah, he looks.
Her color is different, too.
Well, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's true.
But yeah, I would have never like have known.
But the glasses, too, like you can't really see his eyes.
Yeah, it's crazy. That blew my mind.
I was like, what the heck?
I know who this is, and I still wouldn't believe it.
Like that blew my mind.

(27:56):
But yeah, Dean, Dr.
Dittrespekt, I don't know.
Like, honestly, if I was in the same boat, I would lose
all communication with that person.
I don't know if depending on the person, like if it was a really good friend
at the time, I would like privately still be like, you know, talking to that person.
But in public, no communication.

(28:19):
I always think of like apologies and Dr. Dittrespekt.
Obviously, that wasn't a good one.
Travis Scott, after the people got killed, that was not a good one.
I always think back to who had a really good one in its sketch.
The way he did his apology, he admitted to it and he disarmed it by using a joke.
He's like, yeah, that was me.
Like, you know, and blah, blah, blah.
He made like a sexual joke.

(28:40):
I'm like, that's own up to it.
And the thing is, though, is like, I feel like the situations aren't similar.
That's true, because one of them is essentially embarrassing for him.
It wasn't like a thing that like it's normal.
Yeah, it's not illegal or anything.
It's just fucking embarrassing.

(29:00):
I think he handled it like amazing.
But I do think the situations were different because it was not illegal.
And there is a way that he could have apologized.
And yeah, yeah, yeah.
Look good. But yeah, I'm really glad that, you know, that that's over for him.
And he's still still streaming.
So they want is doing for for sketch.

(29:23):
That guy doesn't even stream.
Do you think he just does to other streamers?
I know. I just I always see him do commercials.
Oh, yeah. What NHL or NFL or prize picks?
Yeah.
Dan, I got to never stream, never really streamed on Twitch.

(29:45):
Was this a tick tock stream? It's crazy.
But he got so he was doing his tick tock streams with people on the Twitch space.
And now he's he's pretty much just streaming because I see clips from like the
from Sina, from Pokimane, and he's chilling with them, dude.
Valkyrie. What the heck?
So, yeah, get that back, Dan.

(30:09):
Which is, oh, man, this is kind of off tangent.
But this shows up on my tick tock.
Have you ever seen the bus driver in his tick tocks?
He's like, I'm a bus driver.
See what I do during my lunchtime. Oh, yeah, yeah.
But and he so he does this thing where he goes, you know, POV solo date
and he he goes to like Chili's or something.
Yeah, yeah. That dude could fucking eat.

(30:32):
But what's crazy is like.
Dan, this is going to sound bad when I see him, dude.
I'm like, Dan, this can kind of looks like the gunnaroll.
Oh, you know what I'm talking about?
Yeah, it looks like the gunnaroll.
But which is funny, because I mean,
no disrespect to the guy, the gunnaroll guy.
Yeah, but me and my coworkers are talking about it.

(30:53):
And we're talking about like, you know, why why did he do that?
And, you know, maybe he was embarrassed, right?
But I was like saying, but my core is like saying, dude, he messed up.
He should have used that as a stepping point
to begin his content creation journey.
I'm like, Dan, you're right, because he created a following.
Oh, I mean, it was small. Right, right.
He had he's like he could have been like Hawk tool.

(31:14):
But I mean, it's embarrassing.
But use that to fuel. Yeah.
I went up to it like kind of thing. But take a negative into a positive.
Yeah. What John Jon Snow says, like, you know, you can't
if you have bad things about you were like armor, then they can't hurt you.
Well, yeah.
So which is I feel like what sketch did, dude.
He made jokes about it, made it into armor.

(31:37):
And now he's it would have been funnier if he came out like like make
that he's unstoppable.
He's unstoppable.
You have anything else on this topic?
No, man, I can't watch this.
I think he's super talented, man, which is crazy.
Dang. So, Dan, this is another hot topic.
He does. Damn, I might get flamed for this, but this is just my opinion.

(31:59):
So don't don't go attacking Vargas.
But Dr.
Disrespect used to do this thing where he did a Chinese accent.
Yeah. But to me, it was that was when he was doing that pub G.
Yeah. To me, it's like there's a thin line between doing like like
racist art accents and making it racist.

(32:21):
Or humorous. If you can do it well in this pretty like Team America,
for example, they do this like try young, bong, bing gibberish.
Yeah. It sounds like a fucking North Korean song.
I'm Korean. I'm like, this sounds like a fucking North Korean.
It's gibberish, but it's done so well.
Right. I can't get mad.
Robin Williams used to do like accent Pakistani accent.

(32:43):
I remember he did a stand up.
This is fucking accurate.
It's not racist, dude.
It's like so. But.
Dr. Disrespect used to do that, and I'm like, I don't know.
It's pretty fucking accurate.
I thought he was really speaking Chinese Mandarin.
And it brings me to another point where like there's this TikTok.
I mean, it's you know, people do accents and it's kind of sometimes

(33:03):
erases. Sometimes it's not.
But there's this one where this guy's making a TikTok about a Chinese
restaurant and there's a kid work.
He shows a kid. He's pretending he's a kid.
He's doing homework on a corner.
I'm like, oh, shit, it's kind of accurate.
And he's like, I don't know.
I don't know. Oh, shit, it's kind of accurate.
And so you want a goal.
I'm like, Dad, it's fucking accurate.

(33:24):
What?
Coming to me, too.
I was like, this is fucking accurate as fuck.
This is not racist.
Yeah, I see what you're saying, because Dr.
Disrespect did do like a really good gibberish accent, but it sounded
like legit.
Then there's another thing I don't want to I shouldn't say, because I think
it's OK to talk about racist things if it's your own race.

(33:47):
Yeah, I'm going to not talk off of the fucking they're not Korean.
I got it.
Well, do you have anything else on this topic?
No, I mean, just next one is just a few things.
I think they were from the state of play, but there was Star of Providence,

(34:09):
which is a game that's being released by Big Mode, which is Dunkey's publishing
thing, so I thought that was really cool.
Honestly, I don't have any interest in the game, but I haven't really looked at
it, but I was interested, interesting to see.
And then from the makers of Returnal House Mark, we have a game called Sauros,

(34:32):
which is coming out, and I'm excited for that game.
And then we have Lost Souls aside, which is a fan made game.
They were trying to make it kind of like a Final Fantasy 13 type game, so I'm
excited to see no plans on buying it yet, but if it's good, I really enjoy Final
Fantasy games, so especially if it's a fan made game, I'm assuming they're going

(34:55):
to add things that I would find enjoyable.
Pretty excited for that one.
And the last thing is I think Metal Gear comes out in August.
I don't know if you plan on getting it because the reason I ask is because
It's a PS5 only.
Well, that too, you don't even have a PS5, but you had asked Hideo if trophies

(35:21):
would ever come to the thing, and he's like, I don't know.
And then they came out and then they've been coming out, dude.
So you're still going to get it in platinum?
Well, if three follow, Delta follows three's trophy, it's an easy tro-
That's an easy platinum.
Okay.
But if it follows like two, it's not an easy platinum.

(35:43):
So if it's threes, I mean, okay, so then this is kind of off topic.
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 came out.
Oh, yeah.
And it's crazy because like people are like, fuck, this game is like TikTok.
This game is hard.
It's not the Xbox version.
The hardest one, the harder version, the PS3 version is not as hard.

(36:06):
So I'm just like, bro, it's not-
There's another level to it.
Yeah, it's not the hard, dude.
And you guys aren't there.
Yeah, but I kind of want to platinum the Sigma 2 one, but I need a PS5.
You do.
So I guess that leads to the question, would you plan on getting a standard PS5 or the PS5 Pro?

(36:29):
Nah, not the Pro.
Not the Pro?
I don't know.
Because so Roberto scared me because he was talking about Wild and he's like, dude,
the only place you can play Wilds on console that's good is the Pro.
And I was like, what the heck?
And it runs fine on my standard PS5.
I don't know.
This just scared the shit out of me.
Damn.
Like the thing I'm worried about Wilds and I'm probably sure I'm pretty correct about is

(36:56):
they did the incomplete game thing where there's no G-Rank in it.
And because that's what they do with Worlds and it would come out later.
Yeah, I think the route they're going and they did it with Worlds and I think it was planned from the
get-go is when they do the expansion, that's where G-Rank gets added on, which I don't remember if

(37:16):
I heard that there was already an expansion announced for this one, but I think that's what
it's going to be.
You beat the game, there's still more things to do after you beat the end credit rules,
but from there you have to wait until the expansion comes out and then you can do G-Rank stuff.
I don't like that.
And people were asking me on Instagram and Discord, are you going to pick it up?

(37:41):
Are you going to pick it up?
Bone Dark was asking, are you going to pick it up?
I was like, you know, I was supposed to be a Monster Hunter straight away, right?
But I told them my take.
I was like, I think I'm done with Monster Hunter.
I don't see myself, I have no interest in it.
I might pick it up in the future, but...
Yeah, when it's cheaper.
It's like, there's a couple things that kind of irked me about the recent iterations of Monster Hunter.

(38:08):
I mean, FromSoft, every game that they make, I mean, I'm not saying this is the right way to do it.
But it's very similar.
Not similar, it's different, which I like.
So for example, like the the Physism Monster Hunter, it doesn't really change from iteration.
It does kind of, but not really.
But Dark Souls 1 to 2, different.

(38:31):
2 to 3, different.
3 to Bloodborne, totally different.
Elden Ring, Bloodborne, different.
Dark Souls Elden Ring, different.
I need that kind of change, but also...
Like, the difficulty has to be the same.
At least the same, not easier.
And one thing that really broke my heart is when they super nerfed Ra-Jong fights.

(38:53):
I was like, dude, he is like a shadow of his former self.
And that just...
The thing is, I agree with you.
I do want like a harder difficulty, but I feel like the way they're going about it with worlds and with this one,
I think is a smart move for newcomers because they're making it super, extremely easy.
Like, I've been murdering fools with my standard weapon.

(39:15):
I haven't even upgraded my weapon yet.
And the thing that I hate though is there's no actual town anymore.
Or at least I haven't gotten to that point.
So it's like a campsite and you would go and reset everything and then just go off again.
I could literally either start a mission or I can just walk out into the world.
Like, there's no actual town that you have to load into.

(39:38):
It's just the thing.
And then right now I switched to a different area.
So it was a desert one.
Now I'm in a forest one.
And still just a campsite.
And it's like irking me.
I want a town, like somewhere where it makes me think like I'm not in the game right now.
But this makes me think like even though I'm in town, I'm still in the game.

(39:59):
Like I'm still like counting down the time that I'm trying to do something.
So it irks me.
But it's very, very friendly to newcomers because I feel like it's very easy.
The monsters hit me and do no damage whatsoever.
So I feel like it introduces new people.
And obviously we can see that.

(40:20):
Like there was talks about how many, what, like 700,000 people streamed the first, like
the very first day.
It's crazy because I remember it was so niche.
Like it was crazy.
I mean, this podcast was founded through Monster Hunter.
Yeah, dude.
And we're lucky to have people that played that game.

(40:41):
But really no one played that game.
It would have never this podcast would have never happened had it not been for Monster
Hunter.
No one played that game.
Had it not been for you looking up meetup.com finding Kuroge.
And yeah, that's crazy.
It still blows my mind that that's how it happened.

(41:03):
And then you invited me like a year later to your like one of the year anniversary.
Yeah, the one year anniversary.
And I had deep dish pizza with you guys.
And then we started.
I started coming over.
Yeah, it's crazy.
But I'm happy for Capcom.
Keep on making this shit pop.

(41:24):
But my Monster Hunter is probably over.
But I also feel like we're different players now.
Like I used to be all about wanting like the most difficult thing, the most challenging
thing to do, which is why I like blood level for run the whole game, you know, including
DLC bosses.

(41:45):
But honestly, now I wouldn't I wouldn't even attempt it.
I don't I don't want a challenge anymore.
I just want things to do.
You know, it's funny.
Well, you know, was the last time I played Monster Hunter I did I tried to do to be a
myth mission.
So yeah, and I was kind of I was doing a lot of damage.
The fight was going on for a long and then I die because I guess they didn't know some
of the mechanics.

(42:05):
Yeah, damn it.
There's the the meteorite.
He calls it a meteorite.
And you're supposed to, I think, hide behind a rock.
But like I was behind it anyways, and it still hit me.
And I didn't understand that.
But there's two monsters I could never be solo.
One of them, the Ivy Ivory Laggy Chris.

(42:27):
I remember I got to the point where like I would I wouldn't even have a second of not
hitting it.
I learned all its moves.
I just kept hitting it, move, hitting it, move, hitting it, move.
Didn't kill it.
Time ran out.
And then the behemoth.
And I was like, I just I don't even care anymore.
So I'd never even tried to kill the behemoth.
I just like got an online team and Merk that full and was done with it.

(42:51):
I might play wilds.
It really depends on the end game.
Their most recent end games have fucking sucked ass for you.
So my favorite Monster Hunter is freedom.
You know, yeah, but my favorite end game is for you.
The relic weapons.
Yeah, dude.
They need to do something like that was amazing.
That was like endless end game content, dude, because you could find

(43:13):
like all these combinations and then like a year later, find like the best combination.
Like I feel like that was perfect, dude.
Just have like crazy as I had like really good weapons.
Yeah, I consider it like that type of end game, like an open ended end game, because
it never ends like you could like decide I want to find like a weapon that has this stat

(43:36):
with this, you know, like ability and then spend your whole time fucking looking for
that.
And a thousand hours later, you find it and then you can be like, no, now I want this
one and another thousand hours.
And I still die on this grave when you're fighting Rajah.
Great sword and weakness exploit.

(43:58):
Dude, if you don't have those two things, dude, you're fucking doing it.
I know one thing they added on this one is great sword has perfect block now.
So if you block like last minute before the monster hits you, you take no damage.
I love that.
But you have to be like because if you're in the middle of an attack, the block won't

(44:18):
like happen.
So you have to like be ready for the block.
So yeah, I'm going to learn it a little bit.
I'm using great sword again.
But this has the secondary weapon.
I can just switch weapons, but I haven't done that yet.
I haven't taken advantage of that.
But you could like literally ride your the pet and then switch weapons while you're

(44:39):
writing it.
It literally tells you press triangle to switch weapons.
Actually, that's kind of cool.
So on the fly, you can have two weapons at all times.
I was I was good at the game.
I don't know how to use LBG and Lance, which is weird because I know how to use gun
lens, but it's so very, very different.
The thing I've never learned is bows like I use the hell be bow, but all the other bows

(45:06):
I've never tried it and I feel like I'm not even doing damage.
Oh, has always been O.P. man.
Yeah, I feel like it has been, but I've never even like tried to get into it.
But.
But yeah, so I got one.
I got to give a thing shout out to Capcom is out of all the video games, I think their

(45:28):
armor sets look the sickest.
Yeah.
Like and it's sad because like World of Warcraft or Diablo to me, they don't look that sick.
Yeah.
Monster Hunter armors always have been sick.
See, in the beginning of World of Warcraft, they had sick armor and then it slowly just
got worse, dude.
Like I would wait for an expansion.
They'll be like, all right, the new raid is here.
Here's the sets.

(45:48):
And was like, oh, what the hell is this?
Like, that's lame.
All right.
Next one.
We'll wait for the next expansion.
Next expansion.
Here's the new sets.
What the fuck?
No, it's we'll wait for the next.
And it just keeps happening.
And even recently, too, they had an expand.
They had an expansion just recently released a raid.
So they showed the armor set.
Everyone's like, actually, this is actually pretty sick.

(46:09):
So just just recently, it's the sickest armor.
But other than that, all the other expansions pretty much were not that great.
But you never answered.
Are you getting Metal Gear?
I think you might have answered, but yes.
The answer is yes.
Will I get a PS5?
Probably not.
Because you don't have quite a bit of a lot of PS5 games.

(46:29):
I don't have a PS5.
That's crazy.
I have Persona Reloaded PS5.
Just buy it secondhand somewhere.
I mean, the thing is, I could afford it.
I just don't want it.
Yeah, I want to move out first.
That's like my I want to go back into streaming, but I need to move out first.
I'm trying to figure out logistically.

(46:51):
So what I want to do right now is like move like 75% of my stuff into a storage unit,
then find a place, then move out.
I got to move my shit.
I have a lot of shit.
A lot.
I want to come back to streaming.
Better than ever.
I'm doing something that I always was critical of people doing.

(47:14):
I'm starting brand new, fresh.
Starting a stream house.
That's too much drama, dude.
I mean, if I did, I would have to vet each person like crazy.
Don't do like a legit stream house.
Just do a place where you're here to let people stream if they want or do videos or do like
a content house and then just have them pay rent.

(47:37):
And that's it.
I just like the way Shroud.
It's crazy.
He's like, you know how much Shroud his house is?
Because it was funny because I was watching TikTok.
So I'm like, his house looks really nice.
And I was like, damn, what is he like?
He lives in LA.
I didn't know that.
And so I was like, where does he live?
He was like East Coast.
And the reason why, because he's doing that.

(47:58):
It's probably over now.
He was doing that fragathon.
Oh, yeah.
He'd invite people over and it was like a huge house.
I'm like, LA.
I looked.
Ten million dollar house.
It's like one acre of land in LA.
See, but he did it right, though.
He never talked about his house.
Like, the thing I hate about Ninja is he became famous fast.
I love him for that.

(48:19):
Like, you know, you do your thing.
But then once he had the money, he started talking like any rich person does, dude.
He's like, dude, you're fucking poor.
Don't talk to me, dude.
It's like, what the heck?
And then he started talking about the shit he would buy.
Louis Vuitton, like, and I was like, bro, I hate this.
Like, I hate that he just became the rich guy.
Like, did you do it?

(48:39):
Should you should you do it like XQC?
Just wear brand names?
Yeah, don't say anything.
Don't say anything.
It's fine.
You can wear it.
Don't say anything about it.
I just hate like I feel like they're flaunting and it's like, bro, like,
that's how everyone helped you.
Like, don't like we can we could go on another topic.
Recently, Timothee Chalamet, his acceptance speech is gone, gotten, gotten flack.

(49:06):
Some people like celebrities are saying you can't say that because he even says,
is like, I shouldn't be saying this.
And I know it's not right to say this, but I want to be one of the greats.
I was like, there's nothing wrong with that.
Yeah, I was like, he's like, he's not saying like I am the greatest.
He's saying he wants to be one of the greats.
And so I think it's OK to flaunt and stuff like that, to be honest.

(49:27):
I mean, it depends.
Like he Chalamet is doing things on his own, like flaunt your money.
But when when you're a streamer that people are giving you money, like, don't.
It's the same thing.
Chalamet is doing a service.
He's he's acting.
We're giving him money.
I guess.
But like in a different manner, it's not a direct.

(49:48):
But they're both they're both entertainment and they're both giving money.
I don't know.
I don't know.
For a streamer, it angered me.
Chalamet Chalamet's speech reminded me of the Kendrick song.
Like, I deserve it now.
Yeah.
I was like, yeah, dude, like you can say shit like that.
Yeah, that was a damn good song.
You can say shit like that, which is funny because like in person, I don't brag or anything.

(50:14):
Yeah.
Online, I brag, but it was cool.
It's cool to hear like at the Twitch, L.A. meeting.
I don't like other people don't talk about themselves.
I don't really talk about myself, but all the streamers say, oh, yeah, bosses does this.
And he does that.
I mean, that's that's cool.
Yeah, that's cool.
I like but I never said because like they were saying, oh, what's the biggest raid you got?

(50:35):
I didn't even say.
I mean, it was like a thousand from Legion, but I'm not going to say that.
But that's flaunted.
Bragg it.
I mean, if you're like someone that inherited a million dollars, yeah, no, don't brag it.
But if you're like kind of self-made, yeah, brag it.

(50:57):
I don't know.
I just feel like Ninja Ninja blew up.
I mean, it's kind of messed up the way I wouldn't be like that.
Yeah, yeah.
Like you're poor.
But I and the thing is, too, is like I don't know his content.
I don't watch it all the time.
I know people can do it jokingly, like might have had context in front.

(51:17):
Like, you know, they were talking about this and he just like all of a sudden,
like had that persona to make the joke and then switched back to like, no,
I'm just fucking around, guys.
But they clicked only that part.
But I don't know, I just feel like I wouldn't like Ninja.
That's all.
All right.
Do you have anything else to say?
I think we're going to just cut it here, guys.

(51:38):
So thank you so much for listening.
We'll try to keep it still every two weeks.
But honestly, whenever we have time, we'll do an episode and then we'll wait another
two weeks and then see if we have time again.
But thank you guys for listening.
Catch you guys in the next one.
Peace.
