7
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:39.079
the little the little jumpy like audio
level thing right out through the roof like

8
00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:42.039

when you hit the little bell, the

9
00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:45.240
bell thing and the little hammer that
you hit, the bell goes way up

10

in the sky yep, and then
it comes back down lands perfectly. Yes,

11
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:50.880
And then they don't give you a
prize because you hit it too hard.

12
00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:55.039
Man, sounds like my life.
I didn't realize that was a thing

00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:21.159
in here into the damn network studio. We're all gonna play on the sidewalk

36
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:23.599

and then we'll make Producer Gary Man,

39
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:36.319
do you realize how hard you would
have to hit one of these to go

40
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:39.719
through it? Yes? Man,
I could loosen some screws. Well,

41
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:43.599
that's not going through it. That's
put some relief cuts in the bottom.

42
00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:46.520
But we won't tell anybody it doesn't. It's not the same. That's like

43
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:50.840
when people relief cut the table and
they put a bunch of sawdust underneath it

44
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:53.319
before they put the tablecloth down,
and then when you hit it, it's

45
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:58.520
like, oh, the woodstegrated under
his fucking ass. No, No,

46
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:02.560
that's not how it works. You've
never seen would break that way before.

47
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:06.439
It's gonna be it's gonna be legit. Well, if we film it from

48
00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:07.919
the top down, Oh, can
you imagine filming a table, break,

49
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:13.360
eat on sidewalk, slam through the
sidewalk, play Matt through the picnic table

50
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:16.719
in slow mo from the roof camera. That'd be nobody else is doing that'll

thinking about Okay, so we started CEO

65
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:17.399
officially in twenty seventeen. It's like
a thousand years ago in podcast years,

66
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:21.399
kind of like dog years, but
true. We started the planning in twenty

67
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:28.279
sixteen as a means for Uncle Brando
to kind of like expand his responsibilities and

68
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:31.360
experience and all the stuff at the
radio station. Yep, super cool and

69
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:34.759

took notice and everybody that you work with

knows you do this like successful podcast
now and stuff, right, which is

71
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:46.480
cool. The downside of that is
it's a lot of fricking work. And

00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:49.720
over the last I don't know,
six to seven however many years, it's

119
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:05.439
so first day, Brad comes to
pick us up from the airport and we

120
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:09.639
went and we did some shopping.
Yeah, I went to uh Ages three

121
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:11.680
and up. It's a toy store
that's in Vancouver. It's like Canada wide,

122
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:15.639
really big deal. I went to
both locations of that store. One

123
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:18.360
of the coolest places I've ever been. Like when you know when you're when

124
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:22.759
you're little, and you remember all
the places you would go being way bigger,

125
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:24.800
right, Yeah, Like, oh
man, the toy store was so

126
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:26.920
big, and it's like went up
to the sky with all these toys.

127
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:30.480
But it's just because you're short.
This was you're well, yeah, but

128
00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:33.679
I was shorter then, if you
can believe it, but now it's like

129
00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:37.519
it was his warehouse and so it
was just like being in a toy store

130
00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:43.360
again, Like there was toys like
twenty feet above my head place. Yeah,

131
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:46.120
so it was just it was amazing. And they got this really cool

132
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:50.559
like museum upstairs with like all the
highest of high end stuff, like it's

133
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:56.360
like three thousand dollars action figures and
like one of four scale Ghostbuster action figures,

134
00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:58.080
all dioramid out and stuff or scale
not what I thought you were gonna

135
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.679
say, like cool stuff. And
then up there there's like if you can

136
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:07.440
find Waldo, there's a little Waldo
figure hidden somewhere and like yeah, and

137
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:09.240
they give you prize, which is
like so cool. And I had so

138
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:13.919
much fun doing that. And then
the next day we went to Stanley Park,

139
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:16.759
which is like a big famous park
in Vancouver, and who went to

140
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:20.559
the aquarium And here's my I know
this part. If you want to hear

141
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:22.360
all the fun stuff I learned about
aquarium stuff, you'll have to watch.

142
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:26.120
You have to tune into the your
show on the Damn Media Network here on

143
00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:30.240
YouTube sometime this week. We're Uncle
Brando gonna be on. I'll tell you

144
00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:33.399
all the fun stories about that stuff, pimping out the Vancouver Aquarium. But

145
00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:37.120
this specifically. There are two things
I'm gonna tell you right now. One

146
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:41.840
here's the really cool one. Dude, they're both really cool. There's an

147
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:46.399
octopus, red octopus in the Vancouver
Aquarium. Can you guess that the octopus's

148
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:48.840
name wrong? You can because you
know, but just pretend that you don't

149
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:54.000
know. Is his name Subscribe on

155
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:16.440
was like Brando merch And we met
a guy that worked for the aquarium and

156
00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:20.519
on the Sunday at the thing they
brought he brought me a little package of

157
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:24.000
Brando cookies. There were like little
octopuses they were like, which was so

158
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:26.440
dope. Yeah, and the aquarium
was so much fun. Here's the other

159
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:30.679
thing. I learned fun facts with
the brand O, You're about to become

160
00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:33.720
a marine biologist, just like me. Oh like George Costanzo when he pulls

161
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:35.279
the golf ball the cramer hit out
of the whale. That's right, Okay,

The the jellyfish. We all know

163
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:41.159
what the jellyfish is, right,
Maybe there's a picture on the screen if

164
00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:45.919
you watched on YouTube, which should
be Did you know that the jellyfish is

165
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:52.639
older than the butthole? Did you
know that, producer Gary, buttholes did

166
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:58.519
not exist when jellyfish evolved on this
planet. They are older than the butthole.

167
00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:03.639
There is a joke in there,
and I don't I think about dialogue

168
00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:07.679
and fitting jokes in in a lot
of places and even just saying fitting joke

169
00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:13.440
in in the same kind of thought
as a butthole. Yeah, there's something

170
00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:16.480
there. Well it's not a butthole, but there's something there. And I

171
00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:20.840
appreciate information, and you know what, here's that That wasn't even the only

172
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:24.360
butthole thing that I learned. And
I didn't even ask any butthole questions.

173
00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:26.720
Oh yeah, fish and buttholes they
go hand in hand. Yeah, Like,

174
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:30.480

good ice cream and it was just super

177
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:41.279

195
00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:58.200
pulled pork nachos the next day because
him and I had to get up at

196
00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:03.639
five yeah, to ride the train
for forty fricking minutes, and I'm breathing

197
00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:09.039
the whole time on the train like
this. I had to unbutton the top

198
00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:11.840
button of my pants because it was
pushing on my belly and stuff. Man,

199
00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:13.720
And you know like when you wake
up, like you wake up being

200
00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:18.639
oh, man, I have a
headache, Like like two things are going

201
00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:24.159
to clear this more sleep or or
alcohol back into my bloodstream. Those are

202
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:28.519
the two cures. I sat up. And the only word that I can

203
00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:33.600
describe what happened to me when I
sat up was the insides of me sloshed

204
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:39.039
into a vertical orientation, and I
was like, oh no, oh no,

205
00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:43.039
this is either going to come out
the front of me or the back

206
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:45.559
of me, and neither is going
to be good for any toilet in the

207
00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:50.240
vicinity. No, and I got
work to do because Brad and I signed

208
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:54.559
on for the setup crew for the
Command Fest, first time I ever did

209
00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:56.759
this, and I gave a little
bit of a recap, like like the

210
00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:03.440
like the twenty minute recap that I
do on command ad Populum on the perspective

211
00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:09.679
that it gave you or gave me, especially because I fricking so so hungover,

212
00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:11.440
and I was like, nope,
I signed up to work. I'm

213
00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:15.720
doing this. I told them I
was going to be here. I got

214
00:14:15.720 --> 00:14:18.320
to be a leader from the front. And it doesn't matter like being a

215
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:22.679
dad, right, like when you
sign up for something, you're doing it.

216
00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:26.519
Yep, hungover or no. So
we go and I'm starting to like

217
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:31.759
come around, right, and I'm
starting to come around at like eleven o'clock

218
00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:35.039
or so, you know. We're
setting up the banners and unfolding like the

219
00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:39.440
boxes like it's a giant crate but
it folds out into the prize wall with

220
00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:43.000
banners and shelves and displays and all
the product, all the stuff, all

221
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:48.039
that trade show things, so many
trade show things, like thousands of things.

222
00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:50.320
Oh yeah, so so many things, so much stuff. I hate

223
00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:54.519
stuff way more interesting than you'd think
too. Like when you look at it's

224
00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:56.679
like, oh, it's just a
bunch of carpet and drape and tables.

225
00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:01.120
It's not just that. There's lots
of stuff that's yeah, and banners and

226
00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:07.759
product, so much product, like
cases and crates of pre cons and sleeves

227
00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:11.600
and boosters and like, I don't
know if you know how heavy a tote

228
00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:16.799
or a rubber made fricking big thing
is that's full of booster packs, like

229
00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:22.519
one hundred percent stuffed full of dense
bricks of booster packs. I know how

230
00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:26.159
heavy that is. And I know
how heavy one of those is when it's

231
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:31.559
just full of the wrappers of booster
Yes, after we have cracked them all

232
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:35.600
for open flippy. Yeah, buddy. So I'm hitting my stride around eleven.

233
00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:37.919
Pizza shows up at about noon,
and Brad's like, oh man,

234
00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:43.480
I gotta go. I don't think
I can have pizza. So we're we're

235
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:48.639
fighting, we're fighting, and we
finish around two thirty, and who shows

236
00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:50.200
up. Me and Brad are sitting
at the table just looking at the floor,

237
00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:56.759
defeated. Uncle Brand like, oh
no, no, I gotta be

238
00:15:56.799 --> 00:16:00.960
like, I'm gotta tell them about
my day. He's gonna say like,

240
00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:08.080

happened. So we set up our little

241
00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:11.919
area. We had like kind of
a half booth with tables to play at,

242
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:15.639
and then cecal Nation starts rolling in. You were there, like listeners

243

one? What is I don't know. We left. We'll talk about the

298
00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:48.880
after party in a minute, Like
what is that. We had to take

299
00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:53.160
a traditional cab home, like like
not an uber, not like a ride

300
00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:56.960
share, not a lyft, no
like hail it down whistling on the street

301
00:19:57.079 --> 00:20:03.799
showing some leg tax cab on East
Hastings, bro Holy dude, And it

302
00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:07.599
was like we had a few drinks
and buy a few I mean, like

303
00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:11.559
yeah, you know what I mean, Yeah I do. And it was

304
00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:14.559
like the little meter was ticking up
and ticking up. It was like a

305
00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:18.880
sixty four dollars cab ride, which
I mean, maybe that's not lots,

306
00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:21.839
but no, that's lots more than
an uber would have been. That's quite

307
00:20:21.880 --> 00:20:25.640
a bit. Yeah, that's that's
several dogs. Anyways, And I thought

308
00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:27.480
that was not the end of Friday. That was nothing because the reason that

309
00:20:27.559 --> 00:20:30.599
I could show up and be all
chip or what's up your focks? Because

310
00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:33.559
on Thursday night, when we did
not go out to watch the other's game

311
00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:40.519
with you guys, because we were
all we went to the wreck Room,

312
00:20:40.680 --> 00:20:45.720
which is like an adult not an
adult like adult, but like an arcade

313
00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:49.200
meant for adult human beings with a
bar like a bar. Yeah yeah,

314
00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:52.559
and we played trivia from like the
outside of the thing. It was like

315
00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:56.559
just regular pop culture trivia and we
shut it down like we played video games

316
00:20:56.599 --> 00:21:00.359
all night until he won when the
bar closed. Oh that's cool, man.

317
00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:02.880
We had fun and then would have
liked that spot. Oh yeah,

318
00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:04.799

had super lots of fun. And then

319
00:21:04.839 --> 00:21:07.240
we just like went home and I
had, like, wait, I watched

320
00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:11.880
a movie that was probably shitty.
You were waiting for the whole CEO to

00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:15.039

Yeah right, and nobody came, so

324
00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:23.039
I had to drink. I had
to drink all that beer. I didn't

325
00:21:23.039 --> 00:21:26.799
even get through it all. I
drank something after well, yeah, you

326
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:30.119

for helping me, for like letting us

327
00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:34.000
live there. Man. It was
man so relaxed, and I watched Terminator

328
00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:37.920
and then I went to the tournament
one or two just one number one two

329
00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:40.880
was impossible to find on streaming here
in Canada less you pay for it.

330
00:21:40.960 --> 00:21:42.039
Yeah, oh dang, well,
because it's the best one Sam. I'd

331
00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:45.480
never seen them before, so I'm
like, hell, yeah, I will

332
00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:51.079

yeah, not Terminator, right, okay,

333
00:21:51.119 --> 00:21:52.559
okay, oh yeah, what's some
cool stuff. We watched Prey and

334
00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:56.000
we watched Terminator and we watched that
kind man. Pray is real good.

335
00:21:56.119 --> 00:21:59.640
If you haven't seen Pray, it's
it's it takes place a long time ago,

336
00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:03.319
right like old days. Yeah,
it's like like as tech old days,

337
00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:06.759
like thirteen hundred years ago, right
like right, it's in North America

338
00:22:06.839 --> 00:22:11.480
with like the Aboriginal people and like
it's right when the settlers show up,

339
00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:15.279
like oh like like like fifteen hundreds
yes, like yeah, five hundred years.

340
00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:18.759
So it's there, and I don't
I don't think it was like necessary

341
00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:21.359
for the story, but like it
was a pretty intense scene when they show

342
00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:23.319
up, but like it was a
it's a great movie. Oh cool,

343
00:22:23.359 --> 00:22:27.599
Pray is really good. I might
I'm maybe watch absolutely worth a watch if

344
00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:33.000
you like predator movies. It's very
good. Okay, So Saturday, Saturday,

But it's it's yeah, it's like
an optical illusion almost when you look

354

at it. We got the matching
stickers to that. We got the new

355
00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:12.519

367
00:23:56.680 --> 00:24:02.680
is a reference to Brando's box openings
on the Commander Cooko media group YouTube page.

394
00:25:41.519 --> 00:25:45.480
person an example. So I'm sitting
and this is man, I learned so

395
00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:48.319
much shit from this game. Let
me tell you all the things I learned

396
00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:51.559
from this. Okay, it's like
this game you played, the third or

397
00:25:51.559 --> 00:25:53.519
fourth game I played on Saturday.
This is where I learned that everybody Vancouver's

398
00:25:53.559 --> 00:25:57.680
piece of crap. Okay, and
This isn't me saying everybody from Vancouver's a

399
00:25:57.680 --> 00:26:00.559
piece of crap. This is what
this girl told me. Do you mean

400
00:26:00.640 --> 00:26:06.640
Victoria Victoria Victoria, Kayla. She
sits down and she says, I'm from

401
00:26:06.680 --> 00:26:08.640
Vancouver on a piece of crap.
That's the first thing she said, Victoria

402
00:26:10.599 --> 00:26:14.359
Victoria, Victoria Victoria. Thank you
gotcha. I played Pox in this deck.

403
00:26:14.559 --> 00:26:17.680
Like that's how bad it is?
That's fine? Oh shit. So

404
00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:18.960
it's like she said, yeah,
when I when you get off the boat

405
00:26:19.079 --> 00:26:22.359
or airplane, when you move to
Victoria and you're a magic player, the

406
00:26:22.359 --> 00:26:26.640
first thing they do is give you
a turgrid and a Pox Talks Talks row

407
00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:30.200
and say here go go okay,
that's just how you do for the magic

408
00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:33.720
players out there, which Camragary Middle
one. For the magic players out there,

409
00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:37.759
play those cards. They're fine,
expectation management and just declare that this

410
00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:41.400
is the kind of game that I
would like to play. Do you have

411
00:26:41.519 --> 00:26:47.000
something that can match it? And
this is what this lady and absolutely I

412
00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:48.279
am. And she was so much
fun to play with. But like there

413
00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:51.160
you go, we just bounced off
it like mine, you're a piece of

414
00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:53.119
shit. I told you. I
told you that an hour ago. I'm

415
00:26:53.200 --> 00:26:57.079
garbage. I'm garbage, but it
was so fun. She taught me a

416
00:26:57.119 --> 00:27:00.839
new way to decide who goes first. Oh yeah, check this CCEO exclusive

417
00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:03.880
tech. And she thinks I forgot
this. And she's watching right now and

418
00:27:03.880 --> 00:27:07.039
Sol's her buddy and they're like,
oh my god, she is actually doing

419
00:27:07.079 --> 00:27:10.880
it. So everybody takes a D
six, all four players and at the

420
00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:15.000
same time you roll. Then whoever
gets the highest number goes first. But

421
00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:18.640
if you have the highest number and
like you're matched, he doesn't count.

422
00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:22.880
It's neat, super fun. It
takes away last time. If you have

423
00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:26.880
doubles, they're just and you're the
highest, that doesn't count. There out,

424
00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:30.480
don't even con that's just like rolling
into D six way better though,

425
00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:33.640
what if what if it's not the
highest and it's doubles, because then you're

426
00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:37.960
not the highest. Okay, that's
super fun, super dope. So here's

427
00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:41.119
the play of the game. From
that game, you have the ce CEO

428
00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:45.759
sticker. So girl across from me
keeps what she says is a suboptimal hand.

429
00:27:45.759 --> 00:27:51.119
She's playing Gwen Gwen the prostitute whatever
her name is, the from like

430
00:27:51.279 --> 00:27:55.160
legends. I'm sure. Yeah,
Gwendolin de Corsi. Yeah, yeah,

431
00:27:55.160 --> 00:27:56.559
okay, that's the one. Everybody
knows what we're talking about. So she's

432
00:27:56.599 --> 00:27:59.920
like, man, I gotta I'm
gonna keep this greasy hand to this,

433
00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:03.359
just like real greedy hand. Sure, how bad can it be? So

434
00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:06.759
she goes turn one land go.
Everybody plays to turn one, and then

435
00:28:06.759 --> 00:28:11.000
she goes turn to draw discard.
Go. I're like ooh, that's ooh,

436
00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:17.839
that's hard. So on turn five
she goes draw discard. Go,

437
00:28:18.279 --> 00:28:19.319
oh, I got you there,
because he thought she was gonna do something.

438
00:28:19.359 --> 00:28:23.079
So turn six comes around and she
finally goes, does she have nothing

439
00:28:23.119 --> 00:28:27.680
on the battlefield so far? Oh, just one land? She goes tap

440
00:28:27.799 --> 00:28:32.359
land. So we gave with this, we give it the sticker, because

441
00:28:32.359 --> 00:28:38.319
nothing's gonna be better than that is
player player two getting her second land on

442
00:28:38.319 --> 00:28:45.240
the board on turn six. And
I had already tried to win the game

443
00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:48.079
like three times with Obeca at that
point, like it was. It was

444
00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:52.519
outrageous. It was outrageous. It
was two versus one because player four just

445
00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:55.480
was not even there. That's right, Yes, that's right, Yes,

446
00:28:55.599 --> 00:28:57.160
that's right. It was. It
was very cool and very fun, and

447
00:28:57.200 --> 00:29:00.279
it was just one of the many
examples of like fun games that I also

448
00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:04.720
that Obeca deck that I built,
I was missing, like I think it

449
00:29:04.759 --> 00:29:08.799
was ten cards, maybe eleven.
So I didn't want to proxy anything because

450
00:29:08.799 --> 00:29:11.720
it's an official event. Yeah,
so I just took things out of my

451
00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:18.559
binders that cost the same manna cost
and put them in instead. And did

452
00:29:18.599 --> 00:29:19.559
you play them or did you pretend
that they were No? No, I

453
00:29:19.640 --> 00:29:22.759
just played that whatever that card.
Holy shit, that deck's good. And

454
00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:26.759
it's good because you get so many
upkeeps right, oh my god, the

455
00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:30.319
deck on it a few weeks ago, link up in the corner or just

456
00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:33.799
find it on our challenge. It
we understated in that deck so much like

457
00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:38.200
that did, like the hold the
multiple upkeeps or triggers on your upkeep,

458
00:29:40.079 --> 00:29:42.559
the monarch, I got the courts, I got the like play your opponent's

459
00:29:42.599 --> 00:29:47.240
stuff. I milled a guy Ryan. Oh yeah, I milled a guy

460
00:29:47.599 --> 00:29:52.400
d I drew his whole deck and
then you know what I did. I

461
00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:56.480
played all the cards from it for
free and then and I got to keep

462
00:29:56.519 --> 00:29:59.119
them for that turn because he didn't
die until he drew a card. Yeah,

463
00:29:59.160 --> 00:30:02.119
until you drew cards, babies,
So like I killed players two and

464
00:30:02.160 --> 00:30:06.480
three with all of his ship.
Yeah, and then I said go and

465
00:30:06.480 --> 00:30:07.839
then he drew and died. I
got you one better. I got you

466
00:30:07.839 --> 00:30:11.680
one better. That deck is so
strong. I played a couple games this

467
00:30:11.720 --> 00:30:15.000
weekend, really I did. Oh
shit, I was working, right.

468
00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:17.359
Everybody's bucking me about never playing,
but I was working this weekend. But

469
00:30:17.359 --> 00:30:18.759
I did manage to get a couple
of games in on Friday and Saturday that

470
00:30:18.839 --> 00:30:22.559
you were really into one because Saturday
we were all leaving to go for supper

471
00:30:22.599 --> 00:30:25.400
and you were like, you know
what, Brando, I'm gonna stay here

472
00:30:25.400 --> 00:30:26.519
and I'm gonna play. I'm gonna
find my own way home because I'm to

473
00:30:26.519 --> 00:30:29.880
finished play this game. You were
really into that one. You know what.

474
00:30:30.480 --> 00:30:33.680
I'll talk about that one first,
because part of what I was doing

475
00:30:33.720 --> 00:30:38.240
there was seating players and schmoozing and
kind of making the event feel like it

476
00:30:38.279 --> 00:30:41.400
had like a little bit of a
flare to it, right, Not just

477
00:30:41.440 --> 00:30:44.240
a judge you have fun, right, yeah, but like talk and interact

478
00:30:44.240 --> 00:30:48.000
and giving out prize tickets and promos
and giving him the Brando siel a bunch

479
00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:51.359
of fucks. Yeah, exactly.
And one of the one of the things

480
00:30:51.400 --> 00:30:55.799
that they needed from me is certain
events like a two headed giant event.

481
00:30:55.920 --> 00:30:57.799
Oh my god. Yeah, well
it's best of one in commander, right,

482
00:30:57.880 --> 00:31:03.119
so you played one round? One
guy was like no. There was

483
00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:06.839
one team that was like, hey, we don't have an opponent. So

484
00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:10.319
we paid our whatever thirty bucks each
or whatever it was, and we're not

485
00:31:10.359 --> 00:31:12.920
gonna play anybody. Do we get
a refund? And Face to Face Games

486
00:31:12.920 --> 00:31:15.319
doesn't want to give refunds. No, they're not in the business a given

487
00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:18.799
refunds, right, And then one
guy shows up and says, hey,

488
00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:21.720
I want to play to at a
giant, but I don't have a partner.

489
00:31:21.799 --> 00:31:25.400
Here's my thirty bucks. Face to
Face Games wants to take that money.

490
00:31:25.599 --> 00:31:27.279
Yeah, but they can't if the
guy doesn't have a partner. So

491
00:31:27.319 --> 00:31:30.359
they called their good friend ryanover and
said, hey, do you want to

492
00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:33.240
play? And I'm like sure.
This guy seems like an upstanding gentleman.

493
00:31:33.319 --> 00:31:37.279
I find out that he's playing the
erza that gives you the cor instruct and

494
00:31:37.319 --> 00:31:40.599
gives them all manus, Oh my
god, And I'm like, ooh,

495
00:31:40.640 --> 00:31:42.839
this guy's a bad guy, and
he's gonna be my partner. I'm gonna

496
00:31:42.839 --> 00:31:47.200
play my bad guy Deck my suron
deck and we're going to be the bad

497
00:31:47.240 --> 00:31:52.279
guys, and we sit down against
these two awesome dudes that were front like

498
00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:56.759
locals, and we just started getting
into it like back and forth, Big

499
00:31:56.839 --> 00:32:00.599
Slugs plus one Counters tramp or Life
games. So it's like the game went

500
00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:04.400
for over two in some hours,
and everybody's trying to leave to go to

501
00:32:04.440 --> 00:32:07.119
supper because because you guys are all
going to the marina or wherever, yeah,

502
00:32:07.160 --> 00:32:12.839
to get seafood, and and the
dude that I was my partner,

503
00:32:13.359 --> 00:32:15.279
said, I got a supper date
at seven to two bounce, but I'm

504
00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:17.640
close, so if it goes a
little bit over, it's fine. So

505
00:32:17.680 --> 00:32:21.519
everybody's coming over and being like Ryan, like we gotta go, Like,

506
00:32:21.559 --> 00:32:22.839
we gotta go. You can't walk
there, it's gonna be too expensive to

507
00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:25.759
cab there by yourself. I'm like, you know what, guys, we're

508
00:32:25.799 --> 00:32:30.279
in the middle of this game and
it looks like it's it's gonna go soon.

509
00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:36.039
I'll either find my way over with
the last person, or I'll hit

510
00:32:36.160 --> 00:32:38.640
up the other guys that aren't going
for dinner, like keel And and Sink

511
00:32:38.680 --> 00:32:46.079
Guy and Jock Slap Slap Chop Chop
Slop. At that dinner, we changed

512
00:32:46.079 --> 00:32:52.160
his name to slap Chop because Brad
was sitting there like flop flip flop slap

513
00:32:52.279 --> 00:32:59.480
chop slip slip slap chop, I
think. And his girlfriend Zoe had just

514
00:32:59.519 --> 00:33:02.720
met us first time right at that
dinner table, and she's looking at Brad

515
00:33:02.799 --> 00:33:07.000
like he's got a fucking other head
growing out of his shoulder, going,

516
00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:09.880
what the hell are you talking about? This guy? His name's Josh,

517
00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:15.960
Yeah, so we call it that's
his name, Yes, yes, Josh

518
00:33:15.079 --> 00:33:20.759
Okay, slap chop jock, slap
job slap jock. There you go.

519
00:33:20.839 --> 00:33:24.160
See, it's funny every time.
So anyway, I'm going out for dinner

520
00:33:24.200 --> 00:33:28.319
with them because I stuck around to
play this game because I thought it was

521
00:33:28.359 --> 00:33:30.400
gonna end. Then it went back
and forth for like another hour and we

522
00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:35.000
had a freaking losing oh and then
come on, all of the guys were

523
00:33:35.039 --> 00:33:37.680
like, First of all, like
my partner was like, dude, thanks,

524
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:40.880
I wouldn't even played if he didn't
come over and play. And then

525
00:33:40.920 --> 00:33:44.400
the dudes beside us were like,
yeah, me too, me too,

526
00:33:44.559 --> 00:33:46.400
And it was like such a great
game, and I gave them all CEO

527
00:33:46.440 --> 00:33:51.119
stickers and extra promos, and they
won like hundreds of prize tickets from us,

528
00:33:51.720 --> 00:33:53.240
and then they came to the booth
or whatever after and we just like

529
00:33:53.480 --> 00:33:58.400
chatted until the rest of the CIO
crew was like done their game and we

530
00:33:58.480 --> 00:34:01.079
had like a wonderful evening. To
get is just like random people that you

531
00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:07.039
meet at a magic event that I
kind of got suckered into. But then

532
00:34:07.079 --> 00:34:09.239
it was fun because I got to
play one of my favorite decks and I

533
00:34:09.280 --> 00:34:14.559
got to be the bad guys,
and my favorite thing is saying like it's

534
00:34:14.599 --> 00:34:16.159
looking good for the bad guys.
When we were starting to win, we

535
00:34:16.199 --> 00:34:20.800
got them down to like nineteen and
we were at thirty six or something and

536
00:34:20.840 --> 00:34:22.599
they had this big guy and I
had a removal spell. Then I get

537
00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:27.840
busted with a windfall. With my
removal, we took like thirty but then

538
00:34:27.880 --> 00:34:30.519
we gained a bunch of life back. But then they got a blood a

539
00:34:30.559 --> 00:34:35.239
Butt Chief ascension online that'll do it, and I'm like, ah shit.

540
00:34:35.400 --> 00:34:37.840
Way back on turn three, I
was like, man, that's going to

541
00:34:37.880 --> 00:34:39.840
be the card that's going to get
me. And then lo and behold he

542
00:34:39.920 --> 00:34:45.119
gets that. Of course he does
the mill Jase that zero's to mill ten

543
00:34:46.079 --> 00:34:50.239
and then he gets his blood Chief
ascension online. We're at like thirty six

544
00:34:50.639 --> 00:34:53.760
or something, thirty two and he
goes a forty two. He goes million

545
00:34:53.840 --> 00:34:57.920
for ten, you lose two for
each one that hits your graveyard. Take

546
00:34:57.960 --> 00:35:01.159
twenty, Take twenty, and then
we'd go to twenty two. But as

547
00:35:01.199 --> 00:35:06.360
both the is it's target player.
Okay, yeah, So we go to

548
00:35:06.400 --> 00:35:07.440
twenty two and I'm like, okay, I've gotten out and I've got some

549
00:35:07.480 --> 00:35:10.199
blockers, and like, I can
big brain this out. This is gonna

550
00:35:10.239 --> 00:35:15.400
work. And then I go to
cast an expell for zero so I can

551
00:35:15.440 --> 00:35:19.800
exile cards from my graveyard to flashback
it instead of paying X, and he

552
00:35:19.880 --> 00:35:22.840
goes, if a card goes to
your graveyard, you go to twenty and

553
00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:25.719
then on my upkeep, I'm gonna
or during my turn, I'm gonna milliar.

554
00:35:25.760 --> 00:35:28.920
You're gonna die exactly. I'm like, fuck, I can't do that,

555
00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:31.119
Okay, how can I play cards
so I can block to give myself

556
00:35:31.119 --> 00:35:37.360
another draw and survive at two life
on our turn, hopefully drawing into removal.

557
00:35:37.119 --> 00:35:39.280
So we big brain it out and
we're like, okay, we can

558
00:35:39.320 --> 00:35:45.800
live. And me and my partner, we can live and then they take

559
00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:51.239
their turn. He goes drop whatever. All my guys have trample b shit

560
00:35:51.320 --> 00:35:54.159
because I just had like orc armies
and little like goblins like a goblin crater

561
00:35:54.280 --> 00:35:59.039
maker and just stuff to absorb blocks. Right. So we ended up losing

562
00:35:59.079 --> 00:36:01.480
and it was a fantastic game.
And then me and Keel went and paid

563
00:36:01.719 --> 00:36:07.280
seventy eight dollars to have a beer
and chicken wings fucking downtown Vancouver after a

564
00:36:07.320 --> 00:36:10.840
Canucks game. Oh goodness, she's
pretty busy on there, yeah she was.

565
00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:15.320
Yeah yeah, and a bridal party
too, And man, that bridal

566
00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:17.880
party was making more noise on at
one table than the entire rest of the

567
00:36:17.880 --> 00:36:21.039
bar. Yeah, good on them, Yeah, man, good for those.

568
00:36:21.480 --> 00:36:23.760
I hope that she has a lovely
wedding and their marriage is marriage.

569

00:37:06.559 --> 00:37:10.559
Vancouver before and a few times we've
been to Calgary and there are people that

581
00:37:10.639 --> 00:37:15.079

582
00:37:15.119 --> 00:37:19.880

00:37:59.639 --> 00:38:01.800
like everybody I met in Vancouver was
totally dope. I got to play with

594
00:38:01.840 --> 00:38:06.960
the like, I love and hate
playing with this dude because like, he'll

595
00:38:06.960 --> 00:38:09.639
have the win in his hand and
he'll just like let the game play out

596
00:38:10.320 --> 00:38:14.679
and then when it when it gets
that final thing everybody's swinging for the win,

597
00:38:14.920 --> 00:38:19.159
he'll just win, which he was
a little anticlimactic once you've seen it

598
00:38:19.159 --> 00:38:22.760
a few times. But it doesn't
it doesn't stop other people from having their

599
00:38:22.800 --> 00:38:25.400
gameplay right exactly. And because he
doesn't do it in it like oh still

600
00:38:25.400 --> 00:38:28.960
had all these ways right, he
does it and that he want everybody to

601
00:38:29.000 --> 00:38:30.599
have fun. He doesn't like,
oh I just drawed, I just drew

602
00:38:30.639 --> 00:38:34.239
this and I can do it right. And but the dude's totally cool.

603
00:38:34.320 --> 00:38:37.159
I love playing Chase with him.
Yeah, man like that. How is

604
00:38:37.239 --> 00:38:40.000
Plaane Chase? And you haven't Plaine
chased? And you haven't chased some planes?

605
00:38:40.000 --> 00:38:44.159
And oh we got blown out so
hard? What was it? Hey?

606
00:38:44.199 --> 00:38:45.440
You know what? I want to
talk about the after party, but

607
00:38:45.480 --> 00:38:50.679
I want to hear about your favorite
gameplay experience. My favorite game. My

608
00:38:50.840 --> 00:39:00.000
best game was with uh Kayla and
her friend from Victoria who is a huge,

609
00:39:00.079 --> 00:39:01.639
huge fan of the show, who
I feel so bad. I can't

610
00:39:01.679 --> 00:39:05.199
remember your name right now, dude, I'm so sorry. It's not your

611
00:39:05.239 --> 00:39:09.440
fault. He doesn't remember anybody,
how it is. I committed because she

612
00:39:09.519 --> 00:39:12.320
said that I wouldn't, so I
was like, yeah, fuck you,

613
00:39:12.360 --> 00:39:15.280
I won't. Rolled it on my
arm, read it every hour on the

614
00:39:15.320 --> 00:39:16.760
hour until right now. Yes,
it's still not damn. And there was

615
00:39:16.840 --> 00:39:21.559
another I think it was Brad actually
was playing that game too, and it

616
00:39:21.639 --> 00:39:23.559
was just such a like good game. We're all like all of our decks

617
00:39:23.599 --> 00:39:27.199
were evenly matched, We're all having
fun. Everything was going good. The

618
00:39:27.239 --> 00:39:31.480
culture of the game was like Primo
and we had the I played the Clone

619
00:39:31.519 --> 00:39:35.719
correctly where it's like here's the Clone
and like, what are you talk?

620
00:39:35.800 --> 00:39:38.039
What are you targeting? I'm not. I'm not telling you because I don't

621
00:39:38.039 --> 00:39:43.000
have to. So bodies like,
kay, I'm going to kill the thing

622
00:39:43.039 --> 00:39:45.639
I think you're gonna target, which
is totally what I was gonna target.

623
00:39:45.639 --> 00:39:47.800
By the way, You're totally gonna
win that game. And then so he

624
00:39:47.880 --> 00:39:50.960
kills it. So I come back
in and I'm like, I target a

625
00:39:51.000 --> 00:39:52.840
sneak attack even though I didn't need
it. But it's like the Enchantment,

626
00:39:52.880 --> 00:39:55.559
I can get probably the most powerful
card on the board at the time.

627
00:39:57.079 --> 00:40:00.880
Absolutely not Yeah, it was the
Throne that be killed. That was the

628
00:40:01.000 --> 00:40:06.480
last remaining moment, so we get
that in there. And I remember sitting

629
00:40:06.519 --> 00:40:08.039
there thinking I had had two cards
in my hand, and I can play

630
00:40:08.039 --> 00:40:14.360
this one or this one, and
if I play this one, I think

631
00:40:14.480 --> 00:40:16.679
I can do it now. But
if I play this one, I feel

632
00:40:16.679 --> 00:40:21.719
like I will probably win later,
like if this doesn't work, I will

633
00:40:21.719 --> 00:40:24.440
win. So I played the first
one and immediately I realized, Fuck,

634
00:40:24.480 --> 00:40:28.119
that doesn't work the way with on
it. Oh no, And like you

635
00:40:28.159 --> 00:40:30.119
could see it all through other people's
faces, like Brando, that card doesn't

636
00:40:30.159 --> 00:40:34.800
work the way you think that was
at all. God damn it. Like

637
00:40:34.840 --> 00:40:37.519
I could have went from like,
yeah, I win to that beats to

638
00:40:37.639 --> 00:40:40.679
just ship instead of winning, I
get last, and that feeling with all

639
00:40:40.679 --> 00:40:45.280
these people who are like really good
and playing really tight magic. But that's

640
00:40:45.280 --> 00:40:47.480
the funnest way to win or lose. And I felt the misplay as the

641
00:40:47.480 --> 00:40:52.559
card touched the table. God damn
it. Fuck And that was exactly it.

642
00:40:52.639 --> 00:40:57.239
Like that play was what you put
your hand on the barbecue but left

643
00:40:57.239 --> 00:41:01.079
it there and that's what made me
lose and made her win and fuck damn

644
00:41:01.119 --> 00:41:04.519
it did. But everybody laugh.
Oh yeah, it was so good.

645
00:41:04.519 --> 00:41:07.159
And at the end of the game
we're all talking like it traced right back

646
00:41:07.199 --> 00:41:08.960
Brando. You should have you should
have did that. I know, I

647
00:41:09.000 --> 00:41:10.960
know, I know I was thinking
about it, but I didn't. I

648
00:41:12.280 --> 00:41:15.280
love that shit. I love making
big mistakes and everybody like learns and has

649
00:41:15.320 --> 00:41:17.000
fun and they all dunk on before
it. It was so dope. Yeah,

650
00:41:17.119 --> 00:41:21.519
so much fun. Yeah, I
got I got exact seed by Amy

651
00:41:21.559 --> 00:41:25.400
once I got dead with the Bad
Guy Deck. Played a couple others,

652
00:41:25.760 --> 00:41:30.840
but the single game that I won
was against Rusty trom Jones and he's playing

653
00:41:32.320 --> 00:41:38.079
o' hair acconel does extra non combat
damage and like burn Deck, like like

654
00:41:38.119 --> 00:41:44.920
group's lug, everybody's ticking down.
He had o hair Axonil gives you like

655
00:41:45.239 --> 00:41:47.559
he had a soul fioric vortex,
but instead of two, we were going

656
00:41:47.599 --> 00:41:50.920
up to four. Yeah, everybody
taken four during their turn. He was

657
00:41:50.960 --> 00:41:54.440
taken two, so we were like
dinking him to make all the life totals

658
00:41:54.480 --> 00:41:58.039
at the table go down, down
down. We're playing against two Brad's friends

659
00:41:58.480 --> 00:42:01.320
that are like good players and headitive
players, and we're all going down,

660
00:42:01.360 --> 00:42:05.320
going down, going down. It
was one of them, George, I

661
00:42:05.320 --> 00:42:07.000
got a story to tell a little
good guy, George Man. I got

662
00:42:07.039 --> 00:42:10.639
a story about that man. He
is a saint. No it wasn't George,

663
00:42:10.639 --> 00:42:15.159
but he ended up trying to kill
Brad with something. And it was

664
00:42:15.199 --> 00:42:16.079
like, hey, if you tap
that many man, because Brad had a

665
00:42:16.079 --> 00:42:19.599
MANI flare out every time you tap
a man and you take two damage take

666
00:42:19.639 --> 00:42:22.719
four. It was take take fourth
overhel action only take four. It was

667
00:42:22.760 --> 00:42:25.760
take four and he's like, yeah, X kill you and I'm like what,

668
00:42:25.880 --> 00:42:30.639
No, that'll kill you and he's
like fuck, oh okay, well

669
00:42:30.719 --> 00:42:38.079
I guess I die. He was
gonna take these backs and he was like,

670
00:42:38.280 --> 00:42:43.000
but I'm gonna kill Brad, so
we will both die. And then

671
00:42:43.039 --> 00:42:45.280
it was me and one guy laughed
or Brad. Brad went to like one

672
00:42:45.400 --> 00:42:51.159
or something, and on Brad's turn
he died. And then the guy to

673
00:42:51.199 --> 00:42:57.400
my right was was at four and
then on whatever he went to two and

674
00:42:57.440 --> 00:43:01.199
I'm like, somebody's got tricks,
Like I have to just instant speed dink

675
00:43:01.280 --> 00:43:06.760
myself down to six or four or
something to get as much land and resources

676
00:43:06.760 --> 00:43:10.360
as I can eke out before people
die, because somebody's gonna have a trick.

677
00:43:10.519 --> 00:43:15.320
Ye, somebody's gonna have a trick. So I do that. Play

678
00:43:15.360 --> 00:43:17.920
my turn, I did everything good, and I was telling Brad like,

679
00:43:17.960 --> 00:43:21.920
I think that this is one of
those rare games. It was short enough

680
00:43:21.960 --> 00:43:27.400
that I really thought that I made
optimal, good, thoughtful plays. Sure,

681
00:43:28.000 --> 00:43:32.119
and it really didn't feel like I
made any misplays or mistakes. Now,

682
00:43:32.559 --> 00:43:37.159
did I one hundred percent optimize?
Probably? Not? Were their mistakes

683
00:43:37.280 --> 00:43:43.440
or like probably, but I couldn't
identify any of them, which makes me

684
00:43:43.480 --> 00:43:46.000
feel good. And all of the
life totals were going down, and I

685
00:43:46.119 --> 00:43:51.480
ended the game at six, Brad
died at one by his own card.

686
00:43:51.920 --> 00:43:58.480
And then Brad's friend Cameron, I
thought he was gonna like get me because

687
00:43:58.480 --> 00:44:00.320
I was at six and he was
at two, and he plays something on

688
00:44:00.360 --> 00:44:07.000
his turn and I'm like, I'm
gonna responding and cast this instant and I

689
00:44:07.039 --> 00:44:12.119
had a gutter snipe and play and
got it and I won the game.

690
00:44:12.519 --> 00:44:15.719
Sick. And then after that,
for the rest of the weekend, didn't

691
00:44:15.719 --> 00:44:20.679
win one single game, so I
had a really good one and then all

692
00:44:20.760 --> 00:44:22.840
the rest suck. And and those
guys, all those players, all those

693
00:44:22.840 --> 00:44:25.559
guys are dope, although no they
must suck. A magic beat them.

694
00:44:28.320 --> 00:44:30.360
I have one big beat story that
I got to play nor in one time.

695
00:44:30.519 --> 00:44:34.079
Let's let's do the big beat story
and then let's talk about the after

696
00:44:34.119 --> 00:44:37.119
party. I played Norn the Werry
one time. Yeah, all weekend famous

697
00:44:37.159 --> 00:44:40.960
deck and it was against my again, my Victoria homies. And I can't

698
00:44:42.000 --> 00:44:47.440
remember the girl's name, but the
hooker lady commander not her. The commander

699
00:44:47.559 --> 00:44:53.079
was the prostitute. The player is
not the prostitute. And Gwendolyn the course

700
00:44:53.440 --> 00:45:00.320
and man, when when Norrin goes
like all the way to eleven, it

701
00:45:00.440 --> 00:45:05.599
is the most amazing feeling because the
deck shouldn't be as stout as it is,

702
00:45:07.159 --> 00:45:12.719
but holy shit, that's the one. And it was just like every

703
00:45:13.199 --> 00:45:15.199
is like, I'll take an extra
turn and find the thing. It's like,

704
00:45:15.239 --> 00:45:17.159
no you won't have a stragglehold,
well, I'll play this to remove

705
00:45:17.159 --> 00:45:21.119
your stuff. No you won't.
I have a I have a possibility storm.

706
00:45:21.199 --> 00:45:23.159
Yeah, yeah, and like I
played through a painful quandary with a

707
00:45:23.199 --> 00:45:27.760
possibility storms, like every spell you
play you discard a card or take fucking

708
00:45:27.840 --> 00:45:31.159
eight, and like I was using
that to burn my opponents to the ground

709
00:45:31.159 --> 00:45:37.119
because they're trying so hard to stop
all the stupid Oh dude. And then

710
00:45:37.119 --> 00:45:40.480
at the end it's like you swing
in and it's like this could be lethal

711
00:45:40.599 --> 00:45:45.159
or not. This is this is
the thing that some people don't like about

712
00:45:45.199 --> 00:45:49.320
chaos decks, right, Like it's
lethal unless like I can block it to

713
00:45:49.400 --> 00:45:52.840
not die. But like, what
do you flip off your tally, Brando

714
00:45:52.559 --> 00:46:00.840
And they're like land land like fine
enchantment, I go, or oh they

715
00:46:00.119 --> 00:46:04.840
fuck you, Brando. This game
is over. That's it. We all

716
00:46:04.920 --> 00:46:07.960
laughed and it was perfect. It
was so good. That was my biggest

717
00:46:07.039 --> 00:46:10.159
beat story and went to one of
the things one then we'll talk about the

718
00:46:10.199 --> 00:46:15.360
after party, Brad's friend George.
Yeah, I want to talk about this

719
00:46:15.400 --> 00:46:20.280
guy because this guy is the guy
in the magic the gathering community that I

720
00:46:20.280 --> 00:46:22.880
think we need a little bit more
of. And he was playing a game

721
00:46:22.960 --> 00:46:27.960
I thought we were gonna tell the
bounce against him against some people that I'm

722
00:46:27.960 --> 00:46:30.000
not gonna say what need less of
That's not what I'm saying, Austin.

723
00:46:31.159 --> 00:46:37.280
But and he knows what he did. He knows what he fucking did.

724
00:46:37.760 --> 00:46:42.000
We're they're all playing in the Commander
Grand Melee. If you've never played in

725
00:46:42.000 --> 00:46:45.199
one of these events, it's where
you get like twenty five or thirty people

726
00:46:45.239 --> 00:46:50.400
and you all play in one giant
ddH giant pod and you can attack left

727
00:46:50.480 --> 00:46:52.400
or right now one person, and
you can only interact with the people to

728
00:46:52.440 --> 00:46:57.920
your immediate left and your immediate right
on your turn. So what people will

729
00:46:58.000 --> 00:47:02.760
do is they build their dead X
to kill you on your upkeep. Okay,

730
00:47:02.800 --> 00:47:05.920
that's why I say, Austin,
I know you were doing this because

731
00:47:05.920 --> 00:47:08.559
we talked about it. So and
and I'm like combo players, right,

732
00:47:08.880 --> 00:47:12.800
and it's just greasy ass combo.
And so like, you go up and

733
00:47:12.840 --> 00:47:17.480
you pay your like thirty or forty
buck yeah, a not insignificant number of

734
00:47:17.480 --> 00:47:22.000
dollars, and you sit down and
there's always one or two or three guys

735
00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:24.679
that are playing this dirty, stinking, fucking rotten combo. Yeah that just

736
00:47:24.760 --> 00:47:29.960
kills the whole table and ruins it
for everybody. Yep. And two guys

737
00:47:30.000 --> 00:47:32.880
at once we're going off. Oh
no, we're going off. And they're

738
00:47:32.920 --> 00:47:37.280
just the guys just wanting like the
ducks the shooting gallery, right yeah,

739
00:47:37.400 --> 00:47:42.280
And here's fucking George. They're all
wearing cowboy hats, cowboy hats, and

740
00:47:42.360 --> 00:47:45.320
he's wearing he's he's a blue mate
and he's got all this countermatch and George

741
00:47:45.320 --> 00:47:50.480
walks in. He's like, I'm
the blue made all this man outs in

742
00:47:52.159 --> 00:47:55.400
and he's and he's fucking counter and
spells. He's shooting guns all up in

743
00:47:55.400 --> 00:47:59.280
the air. He stops fucking one
combo player, but the other guy had

744
00:47:59.280 --> 00:48:01.960
a bunch of combo was like countering
counters on counters, and like it took

745
00:48:02.000 --> 00:48:05.880
him till he had no cards left
and no life and all of his lands

746
00:48:05.920 --> 00:48:09.320
tapp and he sacked all of his
to try and save everybody, butcking Sell.

747
00:48:09.400 --> 00:48:13.199
He was wide open out there.
He was trying to save this forty

748
00:48:13.280 --> 00:48:16.400
dollars commander game for everybody. People
are fucking rage scooping in response to the

749
00:48:16.480 --> 00:48:20.840
stack because it's so brutal. Yes, and then he he didn't make it

750
00:48:20.960 --> 00:48:23.320
in the end, but man,
he went down swinging, and you gotta

751
00:48:23.400 --> 00:48:27.800
respect that. You gotta respect that, Yes, I got you. Gotta

752
00:48:27.880 --> 00:48:31.000
respect you just going right past me
calling a spatoon a pastuon. Yeah,

753
00:48:31.559 --> 00:48:35.000
I'll make fun of you for that
later. Okay, good, Yes,

754
00:48:35.320 --> 00:48:38.119
okay, So I would love to
do a piece of content with you on

755
00:48:38.480 --> 00:48:42.760
me or by myself. Screw,
I don't I could do it. I've

756
00:48:42.800 --> 00:48:49.159
been grand meles because I would love
to include that at the next face to

757
00:48:49.239 --> 00:48:53.199
face and and Kelly, the event
manager, face to face says, okay,

758
00:48:53.280 --> 00:48:58.599
hey, we got some complaints and
people scooping because not only because of

759
00:48:58.760 --> 00:49:01.679
the combo player, but because people
trying to stop the combo player and there

760
00:49:01.800 --> 00:49:06.800
and others saying I paid forty dollars, I got one turn then the game

761
00:49:06.920 --> 00:49:08.440
ended. Yeah. There was actually
somebody came by me when we were playing

762
00:49:08.440 --> 00:49:12.119
a game and said, yeah,
I paid forty dollars, I played one

763
00:49:12.199 --> 00:49:14.840
car. Yeah, so hear this
out, hear this out? Face to

764
00:49:14.920 --> 00:49:17.559
face was like, well, maybe
next time we'll make it pre cons only,

765
00:49:17.639 --> 00:49:21.920
so there's no combo decks then,
and and with pre cons of the

766
00:49:22.039 --> 00:49:25.400
same or similar vintage, they'll kind
of be the same time twenty twenty four

767
00:49:25.480 --> 00:49:29.880
Commander decks. Yeah, then all
the maudi ho ho ho onest fucking way.

768
00:49:30.000 --> 00:49:31.199
Yeah, but you're not going to
get one of those for forty dollars,

769
00:49:32.199 --> 00:49:35.719
like a forty dollars entry, right, So true that what we were

770
00:49:35.760 --> 00:49:39.000
talking about at lunch and Beers and
chicken Wings was something like this. And

771
00:49:39.039 --> 00:49:42.679
I would love to have a Commander
cookout event like this. I think it

772
00:49:42.719 --> 00:49:45.119
would be so fun. Okay,
there's okay, let's say the number twenty

773
00:49:45.599 --> 00:49:51.159
Okay, twenty people, okay,
one game of Commander attack left or right,

774
00:49:52.039 --> 00:49:57.400
one seat right, Okay, but
it's two players's turns at the same

775
00:49:57.480 --> 00:50:00.480
time. That's how the mainly works. That's not how this this one worked.

776
00:50:00.119 --> 00:50:05.280
One person, two people at the
same time. That's they're supposed to

777
00:50:05.280 --> 00:50:07.599
work. You take every for every
five players, there's one turn, right

778
00:50:07.719 --> 00:50:12.320
it continue. Okay. If you
are going to combo, your loop of

779
00:50:12.440 --> 00:50:17.000
combo can only loop three times on
every one of your turns, so your

780
00:50:17.079 --> 00:50:22.360
loop counter starts over when your turn
begins. So I could do my loop

781
00:50:22.480 --> 00:50:24.320
once on my turn, once on
that guy's turn, once over there,

782
00:50:25.320 --> 00:50:30.400
and you would not loop all times
on your turn because if it's your turn

783
00:50:31.000 --> 00:50:36.079
and the person who's else's turn,
it is if over the course of the

784
00:50:36.159 --> 00:50:44.360
game one person gets caught by the
other person, then that person who gets

785
00:50:44.440 --> 00:50:49.519
caught automatically loses, which encourages fast
turns, fast play, not comboing on

786
00:50:49.599 --> 00:50:52.519
your own turn or not looping on
your own turn, but it also encourages

787
00:50:52.599 --> 00:50:55.679
everybody to just go go go,
go, go go go go got you,

788
00:50:57.519 --> 00:51:00.719
So there has to be like a
one minute cool down period. If

789
00:51:00.760 --> 00:51:04.639
you say, like land Soul,
Ring Goat, you have a one minute

790
00:51:04.639 --> 00:51:07.920
buffer, and all it takes is
one of these like a phone to track

791
00:51:08.280 --> 00:51:12.639
almost like a like a game timer, like like a chess clock. Yeah,

792
00:51:13.039 --> 00:51:15.960
I think that that would be so
fun, And you could introduce some

793
00:51:15.239 --> 00:51:21.000
kooky CEO exclusive rules, like you
have to open up a booster pack and

794
00:51:21.119 --> 00:51:24.119
play one like you have the booster
tutor before you get caught, right,

795
00:51:24.320 --> 00:51:29.679
and you have to booster tutor when
like somebody is one, one or two

796
00:51:29.800 --> 00:51:31.320
turns away from you, so you
just like pick the first card that you

797
00:51:31.400 --> 00:51:36.920
see that's your color, or like
you can introduce a rule that says everybody

798
00:51:36.960 --> 00:51:40.679
gets their commanders right now, right
if you already have your commander card from

799
00:51:40.679 --> 00:51:45.760
your hand onto the battlefield. Like
there's so many Battle Royal exclusive rules that

800
00:51:45.880 --> 00:51:50.960
make it just a chaos slugfest and
it's so fun. That could be cool.

801
00:51:51.039 --> 00:51:53.360
And the way that Face to Face
did it at this one with combos

802
00:51:53.400 --> 00:51:55.960
in it was not fun by the
sounds of it. Yeah, it just

803
00:51:57.239 --> 00:52:01.760
wasn't ideal. And I think that
one was it. I think it was

804
00:52:01.800 --> 00:52:05.199
somebody I was playing with. I
can't recall if it was, but somebody

805
00:52:05.239 --> 00:52:07.920
said, like what they should do
is have it so you can do the

806
00:52:07.000 --> 00:52:10.199
combo and win. But like,
once you kill the two people next to

807
00:52:10.239 --> 00:52:14.599
you, you have to take whatever's
comboing and remove it from the game.

808
00:52:14.760 --> 00:52:19.119
Yeah, exile it, or you
can't do it again until your next term.

809
00:52:19.360 --> 00:52:21.280
You just know you can't do it
again. You have to take the

810
00:52:21.400 --> 00:52:23.400
card and it's gone from the game. Ah. And that was the solution

811
00:52:23.559 --> 00:52:27.320
that we kind of came up with, just because I saw lots of like

812
00:52:27.400 --> 00:52:30.199
there was the one salty girl that
said she played one thing, but then

813
00:52:30.239 --> 00:52:31.519
there was a few other people that
came by, and nobody had a good

814
00:52:31.559 --> 00:52:35.840
thing to say about that. And
that's too bad because it sounds like a

815
00:52:35.920 --> 00:52:37.159
lot of fun. And I hate
that that one. I hope that that

816
00:52:37.280 --> 00:52:43.280
one instance didn't poison people from and
that's I think the problem with games is

817
00:52:43.559 --> 00:52:46.639
one instance, like your first impression
is your best impression, even if it's

818
00:52:46.679 --> 00:52:50.599
a bad first impression, it's the
best one you're ever gonna make. Right,

819
00:52:51.199 --> 00:52:53.639
So let's go to something. Let's
go to one more little piece of

820
00:52:53.719 --> 00:52:57.760
negative. Okay, because we have
a little bit of an announcement to make

821
00:52:57.800 --> 00:53:00.559
and we left it. We left
it like till fifty minutes into the show

822
00:53:00.880 --> 00:53:05.480
to give people like a good fud. We do. We owe it to

823
00:53:05.599 --> 00:53:08.760
CCIO Nation to make sure that they're
making life plans accordingly. Can't we just

824
00:53:08.920 --> 00:53:14.559
lie? I wish we could,
and uh, we we could, but

825
00:53:14.679 --> 00:53:16.239
we don't have to. And I'll
tell you why. I'll tell you why.

826
00:53:16.360 --> 00:53:19.679
So here's the thing. Some people
I wish I could lie face.

827
00:53:19.880 --> 00:53:24.559
Some people found out in Vancouver that
Brando and I will not be attending Magic

828
00:53:24.599 --> 00:53:34.920
Con Las Vegas plus sucks down with
the Nation topple the statues. Fuck yeah,

829
00:53:35.039 --> 00:53:38.079
So we're not going to be going
to Vegas because I have been asked

830
00:53:38.119 --> 00:53:42.960
to be in our good friend Alexi's
wedding party and we have been playing and

831
00:53:43.000 --> 00:53:46.760
Brando's coming to and if we weren't
in the wedding party. We would still

832
00:53:46.840 --> 00:53:50.360
not go to Vegas to go to
his wedding for the records, Yes,

833
00:53:50.760 --> 00:53:54.679
for the record, because because we're
good friends. The way the flight schedules

834
00:53:54.760 --> 00:54:00.199
work and spending time the day after, like one of your grooms may and

835
00:54:00.320 --> 00:54:02.840
your best friends, we would be
there for less than one day and then

836
00:54:02.840 --> 00:54:06.039
we'd have to come home. Yeah, it's just not worth it. I

837
00:54:06.199 --> 00:54:10.599
did actually, I did actually look
into going for the Saturday Sunday. I

838
00:54:12.000 --> 00:54:15.000
actually did look into doing that,
like, and I could just do whatever.

839
00:54:15.119 --> 00:54:19.840
But I didn't realize this. I
found out this morning as we're recording

840
00:54:20.480 --> 00:54:22.559
that there's a what is it,
a Chief a Chiefs and Raiders game.

841
00:54:22.760 --> 00:54:27.480
Yeah, so, like, flights
are just ridiculous and I couldn't. I

842
00:54:27.639 --> 00:54:30.199
just can't make it work. But
I wanted to, but I couldn't.

843
00:54:30.440 --> 00:54:35.320
This is why we don't have to
lie about it being okay and a good

844
00:54:35.400 --> 00:54:37.880
time. I still want to lie. I'm gonna throw in one lie before

845
00:54:37.920 --> 00:54:42.199
the end of this pitch. Okay, I see if I can identify it.

846
00:54:42.360 --> 00:54:45.519
Okay, Okay, We've had people
and this is why CECO nation is

847
00:54:45.559 --> 00:54:49.360
great. Okay, and we don't
have to lie. We've had people already

848
00:54:49.480 --> 00:54:52.159
say if you need help planning,
or if you want to have a CEO

849
00:54:52.320 --> 00:54:57.559
house CCO experience, I will help
plan. I will book a house,

850
00:54:57.960 --> 00:55:00.800
I will do the merch, I
will find the stuff, I'll give out

851
00:55:00.840 --> 00:55:06.599
the stuff. We'll plan beer shurpas, we'll have cooking buffet pro chefs,

852
00:55:07.119 --> 00:55:12.079
we'll plan drivers. So there still
will be a CEO experience, it will

853
00:55:12.239 --> 00:55:15.440
just be not your good friend Ryan
and uncle Brando planning it and booking the

854
00:55:15.519 --> 00:55:20.440
house. Further, do that,
oh shit, to make it as easy

855
00:55:20.519 --> 00:55:24.639
and seamless for CECO nation and attendees
as I can. I said to the

856
00:55:24.719 --> 00:55:30.320
few people who volunteered to help,
If you book a spot and get all

857
00:55:30.320 --> 00:55:34.440
the confirmations and do all the event
planning, run the payments through the CEO

858
00:55:34.559 --> 00:55:37.960
website so anybody can pay with PayPal
or credit card or online debit, whatever

859
00:55:38.039 --> 00:55:43.800
you want to make it easy and
seamless for those people. And I can

860
00:55:43.960 --> 00:55:50.519
forward the house renter and expense person
all of the money to pay them back.

861
00:55:50.719 --> 00:55:54.440
Oh dope. So I will facilitate
the COCO experience in whatever way I

862
00:55:54.599 --> 00:55:59.559
can to make it easy for anybody
who wants to go, because I know

863
00:55:59.679 --> 00:56:06.000
that already, have plane tickets,
event vouch or like convention passes, hotels

864
00:56:06.039 --> 00:56:08.199
booked. I know people are already
going, and I don't want them to

865
00:56:08.280 --> 00:56:12.800
go under the pretense that it's gonna
be a CCO experience and I'm gonna be

866
00:56:12.800 --> 00:56:17.079
a part of it because We're not
going. But man, it still is

867
00:56:17.280 --> 00:56:22.400
going to be a thing. Now, onto the good news, Onto the

868
00:56:22.440 --> 00:56:24.400
better news. Did you identify the
lie that I said there? Life sucks?

869
00:56:24.519 --> 00:56:29.039
Yeah, life does. Life is
great, Life is life is fantastic.

870
00:56:29.119 --> 00:56:30.039
Life is good. If you're in
the nation, that's sure to see

871
00:56:30.079 --> 00:56:32.360
what I did there. Everybody's still
gonna have a great time even if we're

872
00:56:32.360 --> 00:56:37.199
not there. You won't have to
wrangle me on Fremont Street where I'm like,

873
00:56:37.920 --> 00:56:40.519
man, where I'm too drunk to
get back into a bar on Fremont

874
00:56:40.559 --> 00:56:45.000
Street. Holy shrinding with people,
Producer Gary. Have you ever heard of

875
00:56:45.079 --> 00:56:51.960
somebody being too drunk to be let
into a Las Vegas bar? Your boy?

876
00:56:52.480 --> 00:56:55.159
I was, I got triple tequila
sunrises. I was talking to strangers,

877
00:56:55.239 --> 00:56:58.199
like what do I do? I
was talking a strangers that weren't even

878
00:56:58.239 --> 00:57:00.880
there. I was trying to get
advice. That was that the thing where

879
00:57:00.920 --> 00:57:02.559
we came back to the house with
all the Denny's menus on the walls of

880
00:57:02.599 --> 00:57:06.119
the art. Remember, and I
just like sat down on my bed and

881
00:57:06.199 --> 00:57:08.039
I laid down, didn't even move, didn't even take my shoes off.

882
00:57:08.079 --> 00:57:10.119
I just sat on my bed,
laid down, went to sleep. Yeah,

883
00:57:10.159 --> 00:57:13.840
woke up in the morning, sat
up, grabbed a beer out of

884
00:57:13.880 --> 00:57:17.440
the fridge. Yeah. Body just
hurt. Okay, I've got one on.

885
00:57:17.679 --> 00:57:22.239
This is this is the tits,
this is legit. Okay. So

886
00:57:22.320 --> 00:57:24.360
I've been saying to people, telling
them tell Vegas. A couple people that

887
00:57:24.400 --> 00:57:29.199

about this these new old drawsi's and they

1006
01:05:55.519 --> 01:05:57.880
start saying all the things that the
person said about all draws. You know,

1007
01:05:57.880 --> 01:06:00.239

in front of these three guys, there's

01:06:04.760 --> 01:06:09.800
two more guys and they turn around. Yeah, I was talking to so

1010
01:06:09.920 --> 01:06:14.599
and so too, and we were
like the stuff fases. It took me

1011
01:06:14.719 --> 01:06:17.800
the whole flight home to realize they
were talking about fucking me. There were

1012
01:06:17.880 --> 01:06:21.840
five guys telling stories on an airplane
about stuff that I had said to them

1013
01:06:23.440 --> 01:06:26.960
and things that they'd seen me do
on the internet. And I'm like sitting

1014
01:06:27.039 --> 01:06:29.920
behind him the whole time, like
shall I say something like should I pop

1015
01:06:29.960 --> 01:06:31.480
my head through the seat and go
what up your fucks? Or should I

1016
01:06:31.559 --> 01:06:35.079
just like hang out and stick your
hand through the seat with a CEEO sticker

1017
01:06:35.119 --> 01:06:39.519
and just jiggle it till somebody right. He's like, oh, should stick

1018
01:06:39.559 --> 01:06:44.039
your hand through the seat, just
giving the middle thing. But no,

1019
01:06:44.159 --> 01:06:45.559
I just sat. I just sat
and I was like, man, this

1020
01:06:45.719 --> 01:06:48.480
is I feel famous in a moment. This is how famous people feel.

1021
01:06:48.599 --> 01:06:53.039
All the time. It was so
cool, like people were talking about things

1022
01:06:53.159 --> 01:06:57.480
I said to them and experienced that
with me as a human being man in

1023
01:06:57.599 --> 01:07:00.719
a good way on the way home. So if you as are listening,

1024
01:07:00.800 --> 01:07:03.039
you must know who you are,
because I sure don't, sure don't,

1025
01:07:03.159 --> 01:07:06.320
but man, it was so fucking
cool here in the gut, and we'll

01:07:06.360 --> 01:07:10.000
put the bowl on it. We'll
put the creditor Joe. I'm gonna put
