Speaker 1 (00:00):
Eight hundred and four oh nine ninety three ninety three.
How long am I allowed to enjoy my hobby until
it's just like too much? My fiance who is also
loving and supportive of me, and no matter how much
of an a hole I'm being, she's always.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Like my uh my girl.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
I can tell she's getting very frustrated with me and
Jed lately and Jules and Colby, because well, no, she
has no issue with us playing video games, all right.
Her issue is is that I don't talk to her
the whole entire night. She comes home around four thirty,
I'm already seated playing the games. Give her a kiss

(00:43):
whenever she comes in.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
Pause.

Speaker 4 (00:45):
I didn't say anything, gay, No, been on the game?
What time did you get on the game?

Speaker 2 (00:51):
What time did I hop on the stake? Pause? I'd
probably get on into like three.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
Okay, I'm listening, go ahead, So then.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
I'm on and then you know, Jed's works out around four,
so he'll get on and Jewels and Iron and then
Jed gets on, and then Kolbe will come on and
then you know the boys are we're.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
Hunting for wins. Yeah, we're catching duves.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
Oh you know boom boom, boom, so I might eat
dinner wall my headphones are on and we're still playing,
and then boom at seven o'clock, and then it's eight o'clock,
and then it's nine o'clock. The boys got to go
to sleep, and the list is already in bed, and
I go in bed and I give you a kiss,
and then we go to bed, and then we wake up,
and then she looks at me and she goes, hey,
can you please not play any video games today or
at least stop when I come home? And I go, oh, yeah,

(01:38):
for sure, I love you, and then we hang out.
But then the whole entire time, in the back of
my head, I'm thinking, the boys are on the sticks.
Really it's addictive.

Speaker 4 (01:46):
Oh my goodness, was like you were on there for
an hour and a half before she got home from work,
So that should have been ample amount of time night A.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
No, it's certainly not an hour and ahead. So the
games take.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
A long time, think about fifteen to twenty minutes at
least for one usually what one round. So the round starts,
it's you and then ninety nine other people, okay, and
you're either playing by yourself, so then you're facing ninety
nine others, or you're on a team of two, three,
four and you face the other people. It takes a
long time. And like, we're pretty decent at the game,

(02:18):
so we're normally playing like the whole entire game. It
does take a long time.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
So within an hour and a half. You can't play
two games two rounds.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Oh yeah, I could, but that's ideally probably like three
or four.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
How many rounds do you play it? How many rounds
do you want to play? That's my next question, how
many rounds do you want to play?

Speaker 2 (02:35):
About playing rounds? About catching dubs, like three or four dubs?

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Yeah, and that can take longer than an hour and
a half.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Really hard game, exactly.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
Well, that's your fault. You got to get better of
the game.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
No, you got to get better.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
You've got to get better the game.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
That's your issue. You're not better at the game.

Speaker 4 (02:48):
Get a kill within the first hour and a half,
and then you make your fiance happy, you spend time
with her, you get your kill. Life is great, you think, so, yes,
if you could just get kills within an hour and
a half, you should put that to the test. You
should put yourself to this test and say, hey, I
need to get a kill within an hour and a
half so I can spend quality time with my fiance.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
It's all you. It's a you problem, bro. You need
to learn how to kill.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
Remember this conversation. We got to move on to the news.
Let's bring this up later. She's got, you know, stuff
going on. We'll call her. Maybe we have her on
tomorrow morning. We'll get my fiance on and we can
do the great video game debate.
