Speaker 1 (00:07):
Let's do this.
Welcome everybody to anotherepisode of the Game of Traffic
Show.
I'm your host, mike SamsonChillin' with my co-hosts.
If you're amazed how I'm doingtoday, everybody get up for Mr
Amazing.
On today's Game of Traffic Show, we're going to talk about Sega
delisting several games acouple of weeks ago.
Damn, mr Amazing.
I hope you got those gamesbefore you got delisted.
(00:28):
Probably not, probably not, butI probably have them prior,
though.
We're also going to talk abouta movie being re-released this
month Not re-released this month, but coming soon, okay, to
theaters.
We're also going to talk aboutMr Mazin Music from two major
video game companies coming toyou the consumers, is already
(00:49):
out already, but there's somecoming to vinyl.
So hey, everybody get ready toorder it, but today we're going
to talk about Sony finallymaking not a purchase, but Mr
Amazing going to it.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Yes, Sony making a
new partnership.
So Sony and Kadokawa have.
Sony has invested.
I hope he's pronounced thatcorrectly.
I want to pronounce thatcorrectly $300 million
investment deal to become thelargest shareholder of Kadokawa
Corporation.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
And we go to have
stock shares.
They have 15 million no, sorry,12 million stock shares of this
company, which is a 10% stakein the company, mr Amazing's
head.
Yes, the largest one.
Yes, it is.
And the project?
What's included in this, mrAmazing?
It includes anime, tv shows,co-producing anime and
(01:42):
co-producing video games, andalso helping out with finding
talent with Sony.
Do your partnership to gettalent together, whether it's
for video games, anime andmovies or TV shows.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
And the goal of that
is for Sony will help extend
Katowaka's IP to a globalaudience.
So that's a win-win for bothparties.
And, like you said about theanime, two of the biggest anime
streaming services, which isFunimation and Crunchyroll,
which I own one of them.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
And which Sony owes
both of them.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
They owe both of them
.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
But you don't own
them, mr Mace.
You're a subscriber, I'm asubscriber.
You don't own them.
I'm a subscriber.
They gave my money monthly.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
So, yeah, I so this
is a win-win for both teams and
I think it's going to be a bigmedia powerhouse.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
A big media
powerhouse because they got
gotcha as far as games.
They got gotcha games.
They were created of many RPGs.
I think they have many RPGs forNintendo.
I forgot which one, I can'tremember off the top of my head.
They also form software, as youknow, for Dark Souls, yep,
elden Ring.
Elden Ring, which is off thechain sales Yep and Acquire Corp
(02:49):
, best known for making MrAmazing what Octopath?
Octopath yep Yep, octopathTraveler, and also Spike Kung
Soft, which is known for DragonBall, spark and Zero Great sales
.
So it's a lot of stuff they canlook forward to.
Like I said before at Off Air,I think this is a better
(03:10):
acquisition if they did this $5billion, if they went all out
and paid $5 billion for thiscompany.
It's a lot better than Bungie.
It's better.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Because you get games
and movies and TV shows and TV
shows.
Yeah, Because this one?
Because when we spoke aboutthis originally a few episodes
back, we were talking about anacquisition, but it's more
investment.
But to acquire it, the ballparkwas about 4.3 billion, so it
would have been a little bitless than what they pay for
Bungie.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Yeah, and different
streams of revenue.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
So the Bungie
acquisition now, bad because,
like I said, I've been into theKool-Aid because they're the big
maker of Halo and Destiny, butcome to find out it was all hype
enough and no substance hey, weshould learn our lesson.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
We'll see what
happens to Halo, but remember
they are the king of Halo.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
They are so the new
people running Halo 345 Studios,
343, 343 Studios, but now theychanged it.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Yeah so the new
people who are running Halo 345
Studios and of course.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Sorry, 343 Studios,
but now they changed it.
This is the name.
Yeah, I forgot, it's calledHalo Studios.
Whatever they call it now.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Whatever it is, you
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
This make good games.
I don't care.
You change the studio's name.
You're making crappy junk.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
It's a good game
buddy.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
That's it.
So you think, grandpa, halo,you know, but you make it a good
game.
Nobody cares.
That's true, nobody cares.
But, mr Amazing, what else youthink about this?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I love it.
I love everything about it,everything you stated I love
about it.
I think, like you said, thisshould have been the purchase
over Bungie.
This is one I think Sony'seventually my gut feeling that
they are going to eventually buythem out.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
I think it's they're
gonna it's a great marriage and
it won't be a hostile takeover,because the company did want.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Sony to buy them out.
Yeah, they want it, so it's nota hostile takeover like you
said, so I think it's gonna workwell you know, unlike Ubisoft,
where it might be a hostiletakeover because I think Tencent
is trying.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Yeah, so that'll be a
hostile takeover, Exactly you
know.
Hopefully Ubisoft will findsome luck with the new
Assassin's Creed and hopefullyother games will come out.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
That's coming out
soon.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Yeah, I believe
February correct.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Not those V-Day.
Yeah, February 5th is that day.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Yeah, so we'll see
with the gaming news as far as
acquisition, but, mr Amazing,yes, sir, we going on to Sega
delisting several games,removing 74 games from Steam,
xbox and Switch and PlayStation,which happened last month, mr
Amazing, do you?
Want to tell the games thatwere included.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
I mean, I can name
some of the games.
I mean the thing is that 74games is a lot of games, yeah,
but the thing is it's weirdbecause it's 74 games but each
system is doing a certain game.
Yeah, because it's 74 games,but each system is doing a
certain game.
Yeah, because they broke itdown.
I don't have it down by thesystem.
Maybe you do so.
You have a better layout than Ido, but some of the games are
like fan favorites, like CrazyTaxi, what was it again?
(05:56):
Ultra Beast, ultra Beast.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Golden Axe, your
joint.
Now I play Ultra Beast I.
I'm like this is garbage.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Ultra.
I'm like okay, this is garbage.
I'm sorry.
I remember that was like thehottest thing in the.
What year was this?
Probably like 91, maybe.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Yeah, and you got
Sonic Shinobi, sonic the
Fighters.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
What the hell is
Sonic the Fighters?
I don't even know what that oneis.
I don't know what that one is.
Streets of Rage there, orStreets of Rage?
Streets of Rage, there'svarious ones.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
two different entries
of that Virtua Fighter or
Virtua Fighter 2, space Harrier2, streets of Rage 1, 2, 3.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
A lot of these games
are going out but my thing is,
and the crazy thing is, theydidn't provide a reason why you
know a reason why they'rerevamping a lot of these games
exactly the fan speculation isthat they're like Mike said,
they're revamping it and they'regoing to bring out new bundle
pretty much.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yeah, they're going
to bring out new games.
Like Jess said, more radio.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Yeah, exactly Streets
of Rage.
Exactly.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
That's exactly why
you can work on new stuff,
virtual Fighter Exactly.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
But oh, we got to
make it clear.
So people are like, oh, stop,I'm going to lose my stuff.
No, no, you're not.
If you made these purchasesalready, you're not losing it.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Oh yeah, you still
have it, you can re-download it
whatever.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
It's just that you
can't purchase it anymore.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
I mean number seven
happens, so too bad, you didn't
get it too bad yeah you're right.
Crazy Taxi.
They probably made that liveservice game.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Yeah, definitely.
That's a very popular game.
I love that game.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Yeah, so I have it
for PlayStation 2.
I bought it recently.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Oh, that's a very fun
game.
I played that game left andright.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Recently I bought it
for PlayStation 2.
You know so, as especially thedigital age games go away.
Yeah, if you don't got physicalcopy of these games, too bad,
yeah see, this is why I like myphysical.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
This is why I like my
physical man.
But that's just me.
I'm old that's.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
I mean, that's the
way it is.
I mean a lot of games I think.
What is it?
Castlevania V, if I'm saying,if I'm saying, if I'm that game
I wanted to get physical, butit's not physical, I just buy it
digitally.
So I really I really want tobuy the game, but also I want a
physical copy of the game.
But most likely I'm probablynot going to get a physical copy
of the game on this limited run.
Limited run does it?
(08:14):
So I'll probably just get thedigital and get it over with.
Okay, just pay the full pricefor it and get.
I've been very interested aboutand I mentioned it last year
too.
That's a game I'm really reallyinterested in.
So you might as well y'all putthe money down, get it over with
.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (08:30):
So, mr Mays, anything
you want to say about this.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
No, but I look
forward to these new bundles
coming out.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
What do you mean?
Bundles?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
The new games the new
games.
The new games Are we going tobundle these games, the new
games coming out, I should say.
But we actually requested.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Yeah, which franchise
has the most to lose?
We'll say okay, okay, maybelisted.
Yeah, if they come back, we'llsay, okay, streets of Rage Do we
have a Streets of Rage game?
That came out?
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Yeah, I got that
that's a regular game.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
So they're going to
redo another, they're going to
make another one coming out.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Okay, so let's say
Street Race Series, virtual
Fighter.
That's not going to workBecause that's the newest coming
out anyway.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
What do you think?
Which franchise do you thinkwill have the most success?
For those three?
I'm going for.
Those three have the mostsuccess.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Can I not count Sonic
, that's Mario, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
I didn't worry about
that.
So wait what is your questionexactly, because I don't think I
can explain it.
Which thing will have the mostsuccess?
Rate them from one to three.
For one of them, how do we listwhich one will have the most
success, which one might not?
Which one will have the mostsuccess?
So, you said Streets of RageOkay, we'll say Streets of R
Taxi okay, and Virtua FighterVirtua Fighter okay.
(09:42):
And you know, what I'll clueUltra Beast, because I know
what's going to happen.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
You're going to put
that last for me, that's four.
Number one for me is going tobe Streets of Rage.
Streets of Rage.
Number two is going to beVirtua Fighter.
Okay, number three is going tobe what's the number?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
three, you told me I.
I told you Streets of Rage,that's number one.
Virtua Fighter is number two.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Ultraman is number
four for me.
So, whatever the other one I'mmissing is three.
Did I say Jet Motor?
No, no you didn't say Jet Motor.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
I can't remember.
I said Crazy.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Taxi, that's number
three for me.
I can also say, crazy Taxi isnumber one because it's family
friendly.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
But I think Streets
of Rage, okay, then Crazy Taxi.
Then I'd put Ultra Beast last.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
And I've had to you
know.
So yeah, ultra Beast, if theydo make a comeback, you know
what that might be, the biggestsurprise of all of them Right
right, right with Streets ofRage is because people love
beat-em-up games.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
That's exactly what
Streets of Rage is.
That's a big thing coming inthe comeback, yeah.
So that's why I went withStreets of Rage, because
beat-em-up games are verypopular.
They're easy to play and thenyou can play together with
somebody Up to freaking.
Now it's up to four people,sometimes six people, yeah, but
if it wasn't for that, Iprobably would have went Virtua
Fighter as well, like you did?
Speaker 1 (11:03):
yeah, because, like I
said, I just think Ultra Beast
was the most less successful inthe new comeback.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Unless you do a real
revamp of it, yeah, then it
might be a hit and also UltraBeast, is that a lot of people
don't know that game unlessyou're older.
Be honest with you it's anolder game, because with you
it's an older game, because Iwas playing that game in the
early 90s.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
But, it's in the
classic collection it is.
It's always on sale.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Yeah, but it's not
one that.
Go ask my son do you know UltraBeast?
He's probably not going to knowwhat that is.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
He probably don't
know what Crazy Taxi is.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
That I think he will
know.
I think he will know thatbecause that's popular.
But he knows what Streets ofRage is because he bought it and
he beat it several times.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Streets of Rage is
more popular, and easy to get
into.
Exactly, and you also can playwith other people with that game
.
Exactly, virtual Fighter.
I saw a little video of VirtualFighter.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
The one being
released.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Okay.
That looked good actually I didsee one too A little clip from
what's called the ConsumerElectronics Show.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
So it looks fire.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
It does.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
I saw it too actually
it says not really gameplay.
It's not really gameplay.
If it comes close to that,that's awesome, of course.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
We've seen all the
new fighting games that are
coming out.
They all look ridiculous.
Mortal Kombat, Tekken, StreetFighter, All those games that
came out.
They all look amazing to me.
So I don't expect anything.
And with the Fatal Fury comingout too, oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
That's in March, I
believe.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Yeah, that's soon.
I know we definitely got to getback to fighting games because
these are.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
That's what I'm
trying to get into.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
There's a lot of
things coming out.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Yo, I forgot to
mention of Toe Jammer Earl.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
That was.
You know that was a hard game.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
That could be a
sneaky hit though.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Wait, that's coming
out.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Oh, you're just
saying they do come out with a
remake of that.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
I would love it
because I never got to complete
that game.
I found it hard.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
But that would be
like a mid-tier game, yeah,
something for like $25.
I mean I, I mean I like to say$24, but my chart $49 for that
game, yeah well today'sinflation.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
So, yeah, that would
be a great release and I always
wanted to drop that againbecause I never got a chance to
complete it.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Yeah, that would be
interesting.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
That would I agree
with you on that one.
But we saw what they're doingwith the the Jagated.
Was it the Jagated or Shinobi?
Did they bring it back?
Speaker 1 (13:22):
I think Shinobi,
they're bringing back Shinobi.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Yeah yeah, I was like
did you see the full trailer
for it?
Did you see it?
Speaker 1 (13:29):
I saw it.
Yeah, that looked good.
It looked good.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
I was like okay, I
see you.
It looked good, so I lookforward to stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
All right, mr Amazing
, let's go to our next topic.
Mr Amazing, our next topic isyo Nintendo music is out, mr
Amazing, are you?
You're the Mr Nintendo guy, soI'll let you handle this, all
right.
All right, all right.
I mean, some of the tracksinclude Animal Crossing, New
Horizon, kirby, star Alliances,mario Kart 8 Deluxe, pikmin 4,
(14:03):
splatoon 3, super Mario Odyssey.
I mean, the list goes on and on, mr.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Amazing.
So you have nearly 40 years ofsoundtrack, which is dope.
I think that's a wonderfulthing.
And if you have a NintendoSwitch Online membership, you
already got it.
You're already in this baby.
I mean, this is a great idea,but it ain't for me.
I'm keeping it real.
I'm keeping it real.
It ain't for me.
I don't see myself listeningand playing.
When you're pumping, whenyou're working out, you're
(14:33):
traveling you're Come on, I likethose as a ringtone, like I
might just call it Imagine,mario, yeah this is my.
I love the Metal Gear one, theMetal Gear sound, what people
call.
I love that, but don't you wantto lose when you clean the
house.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
You clean the house,
you clean your car.
Play that Nintendo music.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
I think it's cool,
but it's notarm for Ringtone,
but I just don't see me likepumping in my car driving down
the block.
Yo, you hear me playing.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Nah, it's not gonna
happen it might be cool if
sometimes people were like ifyou were like, yo, look like I
can play that.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
I can see that.
I can see that you know whatI'm saying.
But I think it's cool.
I mean, if I'm having like agame night with friends, I throw
in a Nintendo soundtrack.
We all play Mario Kart orsomething.
I throw something cool in there.
You know something like that.
It's just dope, but it's a goodidea and I'm not knocking for
those who want it, I think it'sthere's never, been any video
(15:37):
game music I'm attached to Metoo.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
I mean, if I say the
Popeye video game, there's a
theme where you're almost dying.
Okay, that's a good beat.
I like what else?
Some of this music from Ghostsand Goblins.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Okay, the original
one yeah original that's out of
Ghosts and Goblins, okay, theoriginal one.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Yeah, original,
that's how it goes.
So that's the one out of thetop of my head.
I can remember out of the topof my head that I enjoy Maybe
Zelda, maybe some music fromZelda, but nothing really that
will go.
You go work out to it.
No, then you go clean my houseto it.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
And then you know the
music.
It brings you back.
So that's what I like about it.
It does bring you back.
It brings you to a happy place.
You know the youthful feelingit's going to give us.
I think that's cool about ittoo.
And then you know, when youhear it it's like oh, I remember
when I used to play this.
Oh, that's the take.
I get on it me personally, butI'm not going to get those who
(16:40):
want to get it listen to it.
Any soundtracks you want, goahead by all means.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
But, mr Mazin, let's
continue with the next topic,
and it continues More music.
Mr Mazin, you want to introducethe people to which video
companies doing it?
And it's not Sony, it's not.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Sony, actually, but
this is the original Halo
trilogy Are returning to vinyl,so that's interesting.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
There's always
someone out already, I think 1
and 2.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
1 and 2, yeah 3 are
out already.
I think it's like triple LPsactually for Halo 2 and 3.
Yeah, and sold out.
Yeah, it's funny because Halo 2and 3 is like $54.99 a pop, the
first one going for $37.99 apop.
But I think you get all threefor like $170.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
No, I think all I
don't know.
Okay, if you want the wholesoundtrack in a bundle, it comes
out April 4th, it's frompre-order Amazon, okay, and it's
costing $200.
Ellen White put 98 cents.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
What the?
I don't know why I got thatprice from that.
It's like 83 tracks, though,right, I believe.
So 83 tracks.
Well, I mean, it's cool.
I'm not a Halo person, so I'mnot going to here.
I'm lying if I say I want thisbecause Halo is not my thing,
but for those, it's vinyl whichis cool.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
It's cool.
And video game music don't meanyou might not be big fans of
that.
Yeah, it's big business, Ofcourse.
I mean I won't say hugebusiness, but there are a lot of
signed tracks.
People collect them.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Of course, of course,
no, I can see that.
I mean, would you buy it, eventhough you're not?
I know you don't really.
You buy it like no, you gottaplay it downstairs.
Would you buy it, no?
Speaker 1 (18:23):
no, oh okay, we both.
We both said earlier that we'renot really real game music
people and it's something we'lldo for, like, like I said, a
ringtone or a long clock.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Yeah, that's me.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
I'm up for ringtones
you know what I'm saying, or
we're playing the card just toget attention.
You'll blast it.
Like yo dude, like the Mario,everybody knows that.
Yeah, they be like people gonnalook at it.
Oh yeah, yeah, you want me toget little kids going doing
little dance to it.
You know what I'm saying.
So I'm surprised there's neverbeen a Mario dance.
Did they have?
(18:54):
I feel like they did.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
They never had a
mario dance they never had a
mario dance game no, I'm talkingmario dance in general at the
club or in music oh, oh, oh ohor the ouija dance maybe in
japan maybe in japan.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
You know what I'm
saying.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
I'm surprised it
never happened.
They had, like I forgot thatrapper's name.
Oh my god, I hear this song inmy head.
What was it?
Slim Shady had that beat.
He had to rap something withthe Mario beat, that's.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Eminem.
The only person who had a beatwas Chubak with Popeye.
The song is his Popeye tune.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Yeah, but listen to
the rapper too, like in the
early 2000s.
Slim, slim, something yo.
He had the beat.
It was the da-na-na-na-na-na.
No, no, no, I'll come back toyou.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Yeah, Denon will shut
you down.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Yeah, but he had the
Marabee.
I forgot how it went though.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Yeah, they went well,
because Senna will shut you
down.
You know what I'm saying?

Oh, shia will shut you down.
So, mr Amazing, let's go to ournext thing.
What's this Trail of the?
No, we're not going to trailerweek, mr Mason.
What are we jumping into?
We're going to go to, mr MasonChris has just passed the
(20:02):
holiday season the Hornets.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Oh, I heard about
this.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
You want to go into
it.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Let's do this man.
So the Charlotte Hornets mascot, hugo, at the game against
Philly versus 76ers.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
In the second quarter
, right In the second quarter.
Right in the second quarter,yes for TV purposes.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
The mascot gifted a
teenager.
I think it was 13 year old.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
I want to say 13 yeah
, okay, a 13 year old who say
youth a youth, yeah, let's justsay youth.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
He gifted the youth,
the child, a teen, whatever a
PlayStation 5.
Damn, he must have been hyped.
He must have been hyped up.
A team whatever a PlayStation 5.
Game must have been hype.
Imagine being a team at aCharlotte game, and then you
just got yourself a PlayStation5.
The kid was excited, hype,backless.
Look at that, mom, that is thebest gift ever I got to see my
(20:56):
favorite team play.
I got a PlayStation.
That, mommy, that is the bestgift ever I got to see my
favorite team play.
I got a PlayStation 5.
Everything but what the kid didnot know.
His parents knew, though, wasthat what the parents knew.
The parents knew.
The staff told the parents hey,this is just for Hell, no For
show, okay hold on, let's stopright here.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Where did you allow?
Hold on, let's stop right here.
Yeah, would you have allowedthat as a parent?
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Nah, because I knew
that I was going to hurt my kid.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
That is some bull.
I didn't know that.
Why didn't you give me theresearch for this article?
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Yeah, the parents
were informed.
The parents knew that youcannot keep the PlayStation 5,
but the kid didn't know.
But my thing is like this isthe.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
This is the
Unacceptable.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Unacceptable.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Unacceptable for the
parents, unacceptable for the
freaking Hornets yeah, veryunacceptable.
Because you're a billion dollarcompany.
That's very unacceptable.
You make a million.
You couldn't give a PlayStation5 away.
Get the freak out of here.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Yeah, that was very
bad.
So you go the Sharnitz Hornetsmascot dress as Santa, give to
the kid the PlayStation 5.
So at the end and like run thatback, the Grinch came pretty
much Yo run that PlayStation sonRun that.
PlayStation.
Kid didn't know what was goingon.
(22:09):
He's shocked, he's upset.
He had to give back the giftthat he thought was his.
So word came out to the media.
Word got around Abillion-dollar company couldn't
give away a $350 out to themedia.
Word got around A billiondollar company couldn't give
away a $350 system to a child.
So that's not funny.
It's not funny, it's messed up.
(22:29):
And the parents are fooledthere too.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Yeah yeah, they knew.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
They knew, but the
kid didn't know, though, oh my
God.
So the kid thought they wereplaying when they took it from
him, but come to find out, theHornets management staff
whatever you want to call itcalled the kid up, apologized.
And not only did they apologize, they gifted the kid with a
(22:56):
PlayStation 5 and a VIPexperience to be in the suite
for any future game that the kidwants.
So they did make up for iteventually, so I'll give them
credit where credit's due, butat the moment that was a bad
look for them, and if it wasn'tfor the media, the social media,
they probably got away withthis you know I ain't saying
(23:17):
anything.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
That's what the bull
crap?
It's bull crap.
You gonna pull that stunt.
The parents was idiots.
The freaking team were idiots.
The team was idiots.
No, no, no.
I heard that the team wereidiots.
The team was idiots.
No, no, no, no.
I heard that the team wasidiots.
But the parents never allowedthem.
Like hell, no, you don't dothat to no damn kid.
No, you don't.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Not on national TV.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
And the team was a
freaking idiot, you yo.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
You ain't no mom of a
pop star, but my thing is, why
didn't you just give it to himLike it's not even a debt?
If I was a player, even therookie, making the least amount
of money, I bet you it wouldhave been a year.
Let that kid keep that.
It's nothing, man, I can affordthat for you.
Take that, oh my.
Speaker 1 (23:56):

That was a bad look.
Hey, yo, like I said I wasn'tgoing to lose them for the Waxed

So, mike, I never saw thismovie man, so this is the
perfect opportunity to finallysee it.
So, ladies and gentlemen, Iwill 100% go watch this now.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
No, he's lying, Mr
Mays.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
No, I will.
No, mr Mays.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
I have the DVD.
He'll just watch it here andget over it.
It's cheaper and it's free andit's free.
I think I had the Blu-ray copy,but you know, yeah, I'm good,
you know, I'm still my.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
That works for me
actually.
Yes, it will.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Let's stop lying to
the peoples.
Alright, mr Amazing, let's goto our shoot week here.
Topic of the week Mr Amazing,our shoot week here.
Topic is Undisputed at Releasethe Problem Trial DLC starring
your homeboy, mr Amazing, jakePaul.
Yeah, he ain't my homeboy, butyeah so.
Oh, now we got to fight withMike Tyson and him right.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Oh, his stock is high
now, why not?
It probably all lines up.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
So we got to fight
and see what happens, but now we
have a younger, more human MikeTyson in the game.
Yeah, he'll probably to checkthe DLC, yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
I got to go back to
that game.
Yeah, so much DLC Last time.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
I remember the
picture you was on the floor
fell down, knocked out.
Took a screenshot of that.
Yeah, you know what I'm saying,but me and Mr Basis would play
Fright Night a lot.
Yeah, I'm not going to lie.
Maybe, if it was, maybe I wonby two, or he won by two if you
put the status up, it was evenif he was somewhere in the head.
It won't be that much like twoor three fights, but it was like
(29:33):
it was always very competitivehonestly it was dope, because
when I first bought it a coupleof months, when did it come out?
Speaker 2 (29:39):
October or November?
When it came out, I was playing, I think, on Risen and Ronin
more and then actually was it.
I wasn't Risen, I already beatit so stuff happens life happens
, so stuff happens but from thetime I played it till now,
there's been, there's been, Ithink two big DLCs were passed
(30:01):
in a lot because people, youcould just keep throwing
haymakers.
Oh yeah, and they weren't takingthe health of a person throwing
away.
So they fixed that.
And then I know they started uptournaments now for it, and I
work with someone that was bigon the game and he was telling
me that it is probably one ofthe most realistic stimulus
(30:23):
gameplay.
So he's good too.
I like his inputs on games, soI'm going to get back into it
and then get familiar to playtoo, because we used to always
play boxing games.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Yeah, so that'd be
good, Because I think my
favorite play was Sugar Ray.
Yeah, and he used to play withOscar De La Hoya, oscar.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
De La Hoya's, my boy,
the golden boy baby.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
The golden boy
wearing those stockings.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Yeah, baby got that
in there with him.
He think I care.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
That's a skin.
That's a skin character.
That's a skin character.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Catch me with my
stockings on.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
So all right, Mr
Amazing, let's go to the Gangsta
Winks of the Week, yourfavorite, what's the game?
The monkey game.
You call the monkey.
Oh, Wooka, yes, the heads ofthe company gifted their
employees with bonuses.
Ooh, yes, they should.
Each employee got a PlayStationPro and $3,400.
(31:14):
That's dope actually, so theyget the shot of the week.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Hell yeah, that's
dope so good.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
I'm like Mr Mays, the
company he works for other than
Gator Traffic.
He got no bonus.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
You know what I'm
saying Yo, that's crazy, Because
also, who might give my bonus?
You know what I'm saying?
That's crazy Also for Mike,give me a bonus.
I got you a bonus the NBA 2K in2024.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
I got you that right.
Yo, what was my bonus?
That was your bonus.
I won a PS5.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Pro.
That's no thrill, because youknow what.
At the end of the day, that'sthe harshest thing to get.
That's the PS5 Pro, theanniversary one, not the.
That's a first of all.
That's a harsh decision to get.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
That's the PS5 Pro
anniversary one, not anniversary
one oh, alright, but still,it's still a nice game.
I noticed they gave him Xboxand you gotta remember that's
messed up.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
They gave him Xbox.
I don't want it either, but youalso gotta remember, though
Wukong was not expected to putup the numbers that it did Yo,
they made vocal dollars.
Yeah, but you also chew yo.
That $3,400 is cheap Yo, butthey got.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
But, like I said,
they got something, though they
got something, but, like I said,they did win 90s, but I think
with the PlayStation and thatrounds of $4,000.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Pro yeah, a little
bit more than $4,000.
A little bit more than $4,000,$4,000.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Yeah, so they got a
$4,000 bonus, yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
And plus, you know,
employees.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
That's a lot of money
still yeah exactly, and I'm
pretty sure A couple of themAlready have PlayStation Pros
Probably not.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
You don't think so?
Probably not Probably.
They got a regular PlayStation.
They always gift it to a fanmember, or they don't have one.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Because if you told
me they got PlayStation
Adversaries, I'm like oh, that'sdope, it's still a good gesture
, it's better than mostcompanies.
