Speaker 1: We're doing what we can. We're doing what we can
with what we got. H that'll be coming back soon
to YouTube.
Speaker 2: I hope. I think Ryan's just about done the I'm
not sure if it's the last episode that we did, but.
Speaker 1: There's a couple in the pipe that we're trying to
get done for youse guys.
Speaker 2: I know that the wait has been long. They were
so fun. I still remember, like yesterday in here a
lot of fun.
Speaker 1: They were, so there were long days, but they were
they were super.
Speaker 2: Fun having people move in and do them all and stuff.
Speaker 1: That's a great segue to things that were super fun
but really long and had lots of really good stuff
coming into play. And I've decided I have decided that
we're not going to talk about my trip home, yes,
and we're not gonna talk about and we're going to
talk about all the.
Speaker 2: Good stuff that happened. And while lots of good stuff
did happen on the trip home, the furthest we're gonna
go is key of the year Downtown Dougie is what
I'm calling them.
Speaker 1: I know that I stole that from a local guy here.
But we're sending a filinter provincially. Uh.
Speaker 2: There we go went to THEX.
Speaker 1: You know when like nine hundred CD come on or
six hundred and sixty six.
Speaker 2: American dollars on a on a slot machine called hell
is there's a chicken and a cow and a pig.
Sounds like a setup for a joke, dude.
Speaker 1: It was cow oinc or not cow moo oinc.
Speaker 2: Clock is what the game was called. That's fine.
Speaker 1: All the castine, all the slot machines, the video slots,
they're all like like, there's the slot machine screen, which
I don't understand. I don't profess to understand.
Speaker 2: How gambling works.
Speaker 1: And then up top it is like a video screen
that usually has three somethings very cool and like while
you're losing at slot machines, the things up above you
are doing stuff like the pig and the cow and
the chicken would get big and fat and then once
they get fat enough, they'd blow up, and then you'd
win credits, which isn't money, but you know, you flip it,
it works out into some kind of shit.
Speaker 2: You you did a little bit, man, I've gone through
the gamut. When it comes to the belts. I was
a big fan, to the point where I had to
quit because I was too good at it. Like most
things in my life. Oh shit, actually they run their course,
and so I had to say, only on special occasions
I ever get to a fuck a twenty into a plug,
not twenty into a machine. But they have all those
things so the things we're talking about like the bonuses.
So yeah, they let you know that this machine's hot,
it's getting close to a bonus. And then people come
over and like wait and line again on these machines
because this one's about to go into a big bonus
to pay it out. And then most times I am
always like the guy to let everyone know, Like I've
had people follow me around casinos back in my fold
degenerate days because I would always fill a machine up
just enough for someone else to in, so I leave
and then I'd come back like twenty minutes there every summer,
wining my jackpot there and the shirt out and get
fill of money, just everything. So the point is gamble responsibly.
There's a place for it, but most of us aren't
in tune ourselves enough to say no, especially in your
place like Vegas, where they keep you up all night
and they make sure that everything's there just at your
fingertips in case you want one more quick spin here
or there. They can be very dangerous, So good on
him for all the one out of there because it's
few and far between.
Speaker 1: Yes, always play responsibly. It's very imprected.
Speaker 2: Just like with magic. It's the same.
Speaker 1: We can't call it gambling, but it's gambling.
Speaker 2: So very well said play responsibly. So I got something
for you here as Ryan left me with a bunch
of notes. So I'm basically avatar Ryan today. And I
thought I was Avatar run everything everything changed except Wiener size.
That's the one thing I say the same. Okay, so
we got that in come, which is good as far
as filling his pants goes. Yes, But this whole thing,
he's got a bunch of notes for me. I don't
know how you want to get into all of this,
but he's got some stuff like the people that were there,
honorary nationalities for the trips. He's got some shout outs
and all sorts of stuff. Oh my god, that's so long, dude.
Oh yeah, but there's talking points. Okay, there's nothing crazy.
Who was there? Who was there?
Speaker 1: Let's let's let's talk about some people there there.
Speaker 2: We talked. We talked about the Rookie of the Year,
his first CCO experience. Every buddy of Brad that was
downtown Dougie. He wanted the thing.
Speaker 1: He played some really good, good games. It seems like
a really good dude, cool thing about him. He is
from Nova, Scotia, and when he was in university, he
went to his parents at parents, I'm dropping out of
school and I'm skateboarding to Vancouver, and then he did it.
Speaker 2: That's in case you're wonder how far that is. That's
like a couple of times back and forth up and
down to the States.
Speaker 1: I guess if you if you're further than the full States,
if you're from America, is going from Orland or to
Los Angeles a little bit. It's a little bit longer
than that, and you have to go around all of
the bullshit Canadian shield.
Speaker 2: To get down there, Like it's not straight.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it took him. I think he said it
took him a few months or whatever.
Speaker 2: But like he's crazy.
Speaker 1: He hooked, he he hitched and he skated and he
got all the way across.
Speaker 2: Basically, uh Fred Savage from The Wizard Man basically in California. Yeah,
so it was cool to meet him. Then, we very cool.
Who else was there?
Speaker 1: There was our buddy Austin Austin the other another Victoria guy.
Speaker 2: We've talked with him before. He won the novice category
in the cosplay contest.
Speaker 1: Come on, yeah, so CCO taken home actual Magic con Prising,
which is pretty fucking cool.
Speaker 2: Shit. Yeah, man, like that was pretty excellent. Hell yeah yeah.
And then Anthony Buckles was there.
Speaker 1: Anthony Buckles, Anthony Buckhole, Anthony buck Hole was there, one
of the kindest people that I know. Even after I
spilled beer on his new dual end by accident. It
was triple sleeve, so it didn't get wet or nothing.
But like I felt really bad because I didn't know
that the beer was there and it just had a
little knock, you know what.
Speaker 2: I felt really bad about it.
Speaker 1: But he just like totally was cool about it, like
gave me a hugget a broad to't worry about it.
Speaker 2: And then like later on we all went to this.
Speaker 1: Uh, really cool Mexican restaurant on like actual Vegas main Street,
like local main street. Oh yeah, and it was so
neat and I had all these like little bars and
everybody was cool and went to this Mexican restaurant and
it was one of those places where they come around
and they take pictures of everybody and then they get
then they gave you a little postcard that has a
like a picture of the picture in the top corner,
and it's like, what the hell is this and they
sail that one's free.
Speaker 2: If you want the real one, it's ten bucks.
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, I'm not paying ten bucks
for no picture, and he was like, you want, and
I'm gonna pay ten bucks.
Speaker 2: And so we gave you the picture and stuff. Just
good man, good good, good man. And that's a good memory. Hey,
that's a good memory for you. So it's on my fridge. Now,
that's the picture that's on my fridge. Now it's awesome.
And then who else was there? Logan ass hurts McGee? Yes,
I was excited for that one.
Speaker 1: He always reminds me of He reminds me of the
dude from The Devil's Rejects, the long haired guy with
it you know me.
Speaker 2: Yeah it's true.
Speaker 1: But people out there who know the movie are like,
oh shit, that guy must be bad ass. And he
is because he's like a geologist that doesn't wear shoes,
so he's like walking in the desert looking for rocks
all the time and the dinods ware bones and stuff
with no shoes on.
Speaker 2: But why is his ass hurt? No king shaming in
the night. Well, I'm not shaming. I just want to
know how you gotta name like ass hurts logan asshurts McGee, Yes,
just the way she goes. That's right. Some times you
should take better carry yourself. You're you're missing one guy
on here. And he's a guy that I have heard
you talk about before. May Or may not have boxed
against Mike Tyson back in the day as little form
Vander Holyfield. No little Mac, yeah, big Mac. Well he's
not big Mac Mac. He's still kind of little. He's
just Mac. That's good. It's a good crew. It was
a good line and a cool house.
Speaker 1: Although we did have little little apid bugs in it.
Say that, and I'm not used to there being bugs
in Las Vegas.
Speaker 2: I never see bugs there. It's a great point.
Speaker 1: I remember one time I saw an ant and I
got really excited, like genuinely excited, like.
Speaker 2: Holy shit, they live here too. I was seeing this ant, right.
That was weird.
Speaker 1: But everybody got along and everybody had a.
Speaker 2: Good time every time.
Speaker 1: And you guys do we crushed like you know the
I don't know if our American friends have the blue
bins for recycling.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think they do.
Speaker 1: They do have them in Las Vegas, it turns out,
and we filled one with empties, no surprise there bottom
to the top and it's smelled real bad.
Speaker 2: What do you think the total beer count was at
the Ceco House?
Speaker 1: Oh shit, it would be in the hundreds for sure.
And remember there was only seven of us. That's why
I asked, because it's a lower number than normal.
Speaker 2: We didn't have a couple of good friends pop by.
Speaker 1: The guys from MTG Lexicon came by one night and
Lenny and Stephen were there, and our good friend TMS
Tyler motoley Stone Stone he actually just moved to Vegas
and he had just got a new job so he
could start spending money again.
Speaker 2: It's gotta feel good.
Speaker 1: So every night in what Rose Tyler motoley Stone at
like ten thirty two case of beer every night, all
man and then and Nick rob Strazinski also big thanks
to him.
Speaker 2: He was driving everybody around. Willie p ninety degree as well.
They're getting into my stuff. The honorary CCO nationality for
this trip. TMS what's Tms Tyler mctoley Stones, he's just
talked about him. Nick robs Razinski. All the beer syrup
us at the con Oh shit, you know we had
a few of those one of them.
Speaker 1: Actually we stopped at we stopped at a red light
on the last day. It wasn't the last day, it
was the last day. I don't care if it was
the last day.
Speaker 2: It was one of these days. And we stops at
the thing and we look over and they go, oh shit,
it's Brando and.
Speaker 1: He literally jumps out of the car, flips open his
trunk twelve beer into our car right like it was.
Speaker 2: It was very magic, and they were like craft beard
from New Mexico because the one got was from New Mexico.
That's cool.
Speaker 1: And so we got some like jalapeno pepper beer and
the other one just had an alien head on it.
Speaker 2: Take you to Mars pretty much. Yeah, I got that
one was a strong alcohol content.
Speaker 1: Was actually the alien one is what was spelt on
the tiger there.
Speaker 2: It is very very well said. Yeah, so that's all
the love to the beer.
Speaker 1: I really we very much appreciate because I kind of
feel bad sometimes like asking people, Hey, you want to
carry this fucking heavy fuck off bag.
Speaker 2: All around and somebody's like, do it whatever. And I
used to be like that in trips when I wear
cargo shorts. I had people just load up my cargo shorts.
I didn't care as like the pack mule. Yeah, it's
nice to contribute to stuff.
Speaker 1: I suppose if you're planned to like a lot of
the guys that do that, Keel's good for that. A
bunch of these guys are good for it. And typically
what I guess they do is they get their duffel
bag full of beers and they just.
Speaker 2: Like post up, we're all over where we're.
Speaker 1: All going to be because we pick a spot, yeah,
and this is where we'll go in the morning, and
they just kind of post up there and they're the
ones jamming the games and stuff, and if you want
a beer, you just go over and you know.
Speaker 2: That they brought them. Very cool.
Speaker 1: Whereas if you're going to be walking around wandering around,
you don't need a you know what's thirty eight pounds?
Speaker 2: Well, I guess it gets it gets lighter pretty quick.
That is the one good thing, right, You're always pulling
from it. So yes, well, when you first go through
that struggle, that's the worst it's going to be. Oh yeah, yeah,
the guy's better as the beers go. When you leave,
the bag is empty, Like, why don't even bring this?
What's the point of this the point. I like that
he's got so many things here. Dude, I'm excited for
you to sort of translate this for me. Okay, he
has a shout out to the MTG Lexicon. Yeah, those
guys were at the house. There are a fellow content creators.
Very good guys.
Speaker 1: I feel like we've talked to them before. Very nice gentlemen.
I slap them around in games.
Speaker 2: You didn't you lost one time? The whole whole thing,
which is crazy. That's pretty good. The guy's hot, he's
got hot cards. He says they have a twitch stream.
They do. You should definitely check out the twitch stream,
is what I'm told to say, as well as the duffer.
Now media got that where stream beyond. I guess this
comes out later Mondays and Tuesday. I don't know how
you keep track of all the stuff, you know, because
like when stuff comes out, like when you record early,
there's a little curtain jerk for you when you record early.
And I guess maybe it's more for me because I
have all these different shows that come out and all
the stuff we do here at the network. But it's
tough to stay in mind as you are creating content
about when it's going to come out, and what you
can talk about and we should talk about when this
makes sense. It eased to get in your own head zone.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, because like technically this comes out on Tuesday,
and Ryan and Rebecca are probably back from their trip
right now and they have a great time and they
had a footl on hot Dog at the Blue and
I can now tell the Rebecca's Mother's Day present.
Speaker 2: I think this is just really cool.
Speaker 1: So I'm just going to tell everybody was a front
row seat right behind the.
Speaker 2: Jays, so cool to one of the one of the
ball games. I don't know if that's a good seat.
Oh it is. Ri we uh go way way back.
My buddy, old pistol Pete was going to school at
George Brown University in Toronto, and I went out to
visit him. And it was a weekend of Jay's Red
Sox Jays Yankees and each game we went to I
think seven games, and each game we went to we
got different seats. And his still he had his scalper guy. Again,
this is like twenty years ago now, so scalpers were
still a thing, sure, and we would go to his scalper.
The scalper it was so funny because every time he
saw us coming, like ah fuck, I like, hey, by
how we looking today? Where we got Because this guy
knows like we're not going in there for first pitch,
like we we will gladly stay here until halfway through
the first inning. And those four hundred dollars her seat
tickets behind the dugout are fifty dollars each, so he
just like he knows what we're doing. So we gonna
stand around and waiting like yeah, like no, man, I
can't do it yet. And then eventually I went He's like,
all right, fine take him. You guys got to stop screaming.
See tomorrow. But we got two seats right behind the
Blue Jays dug out. I had my feet up on
the dugout and I got my parents to PVR. This
is when PVR just started as a very, very privileged again.
That's why I always try to tell everybody anything I
can do to give you a little taste of how
incredible my privileged life was. I'm gonna do because it's
like it's so cool. And so I got dad to
PVR and I got home and we were on TV
for all like the whole game. You can see us
in the dugout. There's one where and Big Poppy, right,
David Ortiz, you know Big Poppy, he's like one of
the best ever do it playing for the Red Sox.
He hit one above the windows at the skydough and
as he's rounding third, the camera comes and you see
him coming right about here. Then in the background you
see pistol and you see me just like this, oh waw,
like what And it's still on the PVR. That's still
at my parents' house, which is at my brother's house.
So checking on every now and then. But this is
my whole point. When they're in that spot, you will
be on TV a bunch. So when tune into that
game and you'll see them brick and Sweet. I think
that's on Sunday. Sunday would be ready the Mother's Day Games,
the Mother's Day Game, So if anybody wants And that's
a hell of a present I'm telling because it was
again that was like four hundred back then. Yeah, so
who knows what it is now, But you were on
TV all the time. You can hear people and now
out they throw batting gloves up at you, they throw
balls like you are in the game. There so that's
well done. That might even I might get into action.
Speaker 1: I'm sure I'm probably not though, Yeah, still walls.
Speaker 2: Half the battle is just finding his if I've earned anything,
because I can never find mine. So I get that.
Uh So, Shout out to the MTG Lexicon twitch stream.
He also has. He's got a bunch of shutouts here
and you can help me translate them. Shout out to
the ed h R e C crew. Oh the wreck guys.
Speaker 1: There you go, Matt Morgan and Joey Schultz and the
guy that plays Mandelith all the time. I can never
remember his name, nor should I.
Speaker 2: You're here and roach it just proved yourself good, though
I have to. I have to do that sometimes. He
also adds and all the people that were so kind
and chattered with us so much.
Speaker 1: Yes, there were lots of people that came up to
us and said, hi, you met a couple of local dudes.
Speaker 2: We met some people that are just from there.
Speaker 1: There are people who are like other magic celebrities that
kind of came over and chatted with us a little bit.
Speaker 2: So I bumped into it's pretty cool. I'm gonna throw
my questions in here as Gary as well. Sure, producer Gary,
do you find each one you go to that you're
treated more and more as the celebrities that you are.
Speaker 1: I think by the the I don't want to say
a rank and file like by the attendees, I think so.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but I think what I feel like too,
just from the stories.
Speaker 1: Since our our are run in with policy at Chicago.
Speaker 2: You don't have to explain that just sounds like some
real bullshit.
Speaker 1: We aren't treated as well by like WATSI the company,
although the staff still all know us and still appreciate us,
and like usually they'll still send people over like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, freaking the prop sent us over here because we
thought that it would be sweet. There is a lot
of Watzi chirps still, I think too.
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, and we're gonna keep coming for them and
they stop ripping us off.
Speaker 2: So I think that's a decent ask. I think so too,
you know, as a good human being.
Speaker 1: I've read man, everybody else that's fair, not everybody else,
but wats he can't.
Speaker 2: So everybody who came by and said hello, we appreciate you.
Speaker 1: If you're listening for the first time because you saw
us in Vegas, we appreciate that very much.
Speaker 2: Putting up with our crap for all this time. We
appreciate that extra lots. But it's cool, Like, how many
different different sort of shows or celebs do you think
are from Canada. That's the sort of pop up shop
like you guys do there too. There was us in
the spike feeders and I'm not even sure the spike
feeders were there. That's interesting to me. They must have been.
Speaker 1: They must have been because one of them is like.
Speaker 2: A big freaking place.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, yeah, and I just might not have bumped
into them, but I'm sure that they were there.
Speaker 2: Interesting. Yeah, Now we get some ooh shout out to
Alan for mental misplay, for his unmatched praise, and for
being a good human. This does not sound like Ryan
that we know. These are very kind words coming out
of this phone. I don't know if he like chat
GPT this or he probably did.
Speaker 1: Actually, Alan, is you if you played magic? He's a
very very good man. He's always putting people above himself,
and he like his whole weekend is basically about going
around making sure that everybody else has is having fun
and letting everybody else know how much fun there is
to be had.
Speaker 2: He's a he's a great dude.
Speaker 1: And Alan I love already if anybody knows there, everybody
sees him like and you go over and talk to him.
He always has time for everybody. He's a great guy,
fantastic human.
Speaker 2: Being, that is fantastic. You want to throw anything in
there before we get to uh, some more promo stuff?
Speaker 1: No, okay, I think already hit a promo stuff.
Speaker 2: Did yeah? Oh yeah, but he's he's going deep here,
he's going right. I'm gonna do this right. The CEO
experience is awesome, Yeah, freaking awesome. I want to get
more into the CEO house because once you start talking
about affletes, I want to know more because last year's
set of real standard. As far as I'm concerned with
all the fun shit you can do in a CEO house,
he says you can join by being a paid Treon
supporter and joining our discord. Again, this is Ryan speaking.
I'm right, small weed or no, the best part of us,
no change. Brando knows all that. But you guys gotta
sell it. You guys, let's be going word for a word.
Don't read the script for on Burgundy. You guys gotta
sell it because and this is what he's talking about
is as he becomes more and more of dad and
work Ryan, more responsibles come down on your good buddy
Brando here, which makes it pretty pretty hard. And he's
talking about organizing next year. Yeah, and so he wants
to get a little plugged on the as we're looking
for a little more help for organizings. I'm not gonna
just run Burgundy this anymore. Because I was talking to
me personally, which is very cool. I says it's about
three hundred dollars Canadian for everything, which still blows my
fricking mind that you can do that. Yeah, and that's
how is that possible? I have no idea, And that's
like I balked.
Speaker 1: Okay, So we went down there acas about three hundred bucks.
We've got a house, we slept for four nights.
Speaker 2: Ride sharing, party, food, drinks, special packs and prizes and
all the best community Yeah MTG.
Speaker 1: That you don't have to once you buy your badge
to the con, you basically don't have to spend any
more money.
Speaker 2: And we never didn't have.
Speaker 1: We still had half a case of beer left over
at the end of the night or at the end
of the weekend, you know what I mean, Like it's
people are very generous with their time and they're their
dollars and they come in and we're all just having
fun and everybody knows.
Speaker 2: The culture, and you want to come in and.
Speaker 1: Just be a part of a house that's just there
to have a really, really really good time and you're
gonna play magic at the con and you're gonna play magic.
Speaker 2: At the house or not.
Speaker 1: Like some Usually there's the two groups is the two
that want to go home and they want to play
the stuff and get ready for the next day. And
then the rest of us will go out and we'll
hit Freemont or we'll hit main streets, or we'll go
somewhere little family.
Speaker 2: You go out as a family, you do shit together,
and it's very cool because, like you would, like minded people,
and it's always so much more fun when you're surrounded
by like minded people exactly, And.
Speaker 1: You always end up with some people think, well, what
if it's awkward and weird, and I don't you're gonna
fit in.
Speaker 2: Man, Like we're all awk Rover. That's like the whole point.
Speaker 1: Yeah, none of us met Doug before, Like I had
never seen this dude, or maybe I did, you know
Vancouver I met a lot of people, and now I'll
never forget him right, and he got along with everybody
like and we're all different. We're all different people, we
all come from different places, we all do different things
in our real lives. But for a weekend, we're all
just a bunch of people doing the same thing at
the same time, and it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: So he wanted me to put out if you are
somebody who thinks you could help out with organizing next year,
please reach out to the boys and you can start
talking shop a little bit, as there's going to be
some work that needs to be done to make sure
you have that an incredible experience. Yeah, Ryan did a
lot around here. It's basically what we're saying. This guy
like he the fact he went as long as he
did without having to get a real job, it says
it speaks volumes on who he is and the type
of guy that wanted to see. This goes hard man.
Anything it does, he goes hard.
Speaker 1: And the community we have supporting us also like you
could obviously, and.
Speaker 2: That's a very good point. Yeah, I just you know,
I like talking talking big about Ryan just because he
has a small winger like me, I don't know what
it's been like for you. Knowing what he goes through,
you would never understand it, obviously. But that's neither here
nor there. You want to get some con highlights from
Ryan from wait, from Ryan or from me? Well, I
got some here, but okay, okay, you're on here. Oh okay, okay.
His first one was and you saw a touched on
earlier Austin winning the Novice Cosplay contest and punching a
ticket to Magic on Atlanta. I didn't know that. Tell
me what's going on there? Okay.
Speaker 1: So there's the two big cons every year. There's Vegas
that's the western side one where kind of everybody on
the West goes, and that's when we go too, because
it's Vegas, I mean know Vegas and we can do it.
And then there's Atlanta that's the one on the east.
Speaker 2: But it's kind of.
Speaker 1: The same thing, but like physically smaller. We bumped into
a a Widget's employee actually in the airport on our
way home, and he was asking us all about what
we thought and if we had a good time, and
he was telling us that, like the big thing about
Atlanta is that they they're having a hard time finding
like the venue is going to the venue is getting
not bigger, but the attendance is and.
Speaker 2: They're having a hard time finding out space for everybody.
That makes sense.
Speaker 1: But yeah, our buddy Austin's going to be down there.
He punched his ticket to go, so so I'm sure
we'll have at least one CEO guy down there. And
if you're a CEO guy that's in Florida or the
I don't even know what other states are down there, Georgia,
North Carolina, Texas, Texas is.
Speaker 2: Kind of in the middle. I don't think that counts
as East. But if you're down there, go check it out.
Speaker 1: He's a good dude and it's gonna be a lot
of funer I would love to go to Atlanta, but
I just I don't think it's in the cards yet.
Speaker 2: At Headless dash couseplay on Instagram, you can check him
out there and see the incredible cosplay that was the
big winner in the novice category. Very cool there. He
talked about Dougie winning the CEO Experience Rekie of the
Year twenty twenty six, not even close. VLT winning pack
opening beer drinking. That's how he won it. That's pretty
good resume if you're looking to win some true I
like that.
Speaker 1: He also skateboard across King Canada. Dude, like that's awesome.
I don't know anybody else that did there.
Speaker 2: I like this this and then well, yeah, there's this
thing that he did that's like, uh, probably one percent
of humanity could ever accomplished.
Speaker 1: And well but it's one of those things that like
could have been on the news and ship and he
just like did it.
Speaker 2: So he thought it was sweet. And then when he
told me, he was like, yeah, I just did that,
and I was like, wait, what what the what the fuck?
Speaker 1: And he's telling me the whole story and it's like, yeah,
d'ed on like one paycheck too.
Speaker 2: That's so cool, so bad, oh, very very sweet. Uh,
he now says, Ask Brando about cool MTG game, Cool
MTG gag games.
Speaker 1: The best game I had, the best the best game
that I had that I can I can recall is
I'm sitting there with Lenny and Stephen and I apologize.
I forget who the third member of this pod was.
Speaker 2: I'm playing nor in the Wherrys. You know, things are
they're serious, very serious.
Speaker 1: And the game's going and I'm getting all of these
like pieces to make dudes. I'm getting, you know, all
these little shitty guys. But then you can't do anything
because Lenny and Stephen and this other guy are attacking
into me, attacking into me, making me block and the
boys man like, what the fuck is I.
Speaker 2: Need to pay off?
Speaker 1: I need to pay off ship that I'm doing, and
I like, I finally get.
Speaker 2: My cargo is pay off the payoff? What is it?
Speaker 1: It's a what the hell was it? Something that makes it?
When a dude comes into play, it deals one to something.
It deals one to all my opponents. But when you
pay an extra money, you get two of them down
in the comments.
Speaker 2: If you remember whatever card that is, it's an offspring.
Speaker 1: So I plays it and it comes into play and
everybody takes one, and then nor on the way it
comes back and everybody takes two.
Speaker 2: And I go a bunch of I'm waiting for this extreme.
Speaker 1: You guys are in deep ship now, and they're like, ah, brand,
what's he gonna do for this guy?
Speaker 2: Two?
Speaker 1: And so two to two comes back to rand and
I'm sitting on my head like, well, here we go,
here we here we go. So I play this thing
and it makes the damage go Whenever ideal damage less
than four, it becomes four.
Speaker 2: Oh, so you just gotta do well one.
Speaker 1: Well, everybody takes eight because I had that guy come
into play. Yeah, and then I played another one, and
these have been sitting in my hand the whole time.
Speaker 2: I was just waiting for a payoffs one to do it.
Speaker 1: And then you put the other one and it doubles
all the damage I do. So everybody takes fucking was
that sixteen thirty two?
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you're oh geez, and they die, that's it.
And I was like, and Lenny said, he just looks
at me. It's like fucking Nora, And man, you know
this this game is so crazy to me because there
are a million stories like that, told a million different ways.
And that's like the coolness but also the intimidation that
magic the Gathering brings to a guy like me. It's
a very very complicated, Like it's so crazy and everyone
has those stories and they tell him the same way,
and I'm like, yeah, it's freaking sweet.
Speaker 1: Like you know that it's awesome, but like you don't
know how or why, like if somebody's telling you like
a UFC storys like yeah, you shot the half and
then he hit him with a whatever. The It was
like what Then you watch it on TV and it's like, yeah,
he wrapped his arm around his head and made him
be unconscious.
Speaker 2: Like I get that, but I don't understand all the
all the stuff in between. Right, I'm with you. There
were there any other big games for you? Because he
did end a note here saying did he even lose
a game?
Speaker 1: I lost one? I lost one game all weekend, which
is pretty unique for me. I did play quite a few,
like I was averaging six or seven a day because
playing lots of games and you lost one lost one?
Speaker 2: Yay? Now is it all? Like? How many different decks
did use? Four I brought?
Speaker 1: I brought Clones and Norn and Rev which I don't.
Speaker 2: Think I played.
Speaker 1: She's like my high power super high end deck. I
never I didn't even play her.
Speaker 2: Is that like the one you do if you ever
play competitive type of thing? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And then Secret of the Ooze. It's a raff and
Mikey deck or whatever. It attacks it like flips over
until I get a creature. And I didn't want to
do like the biggest meanest creatures in the world, so
I did the biggest shittiest creatures I had in my
binder that I couldn't find room for in anti deck
and and oozes. So when I flip over, I'm either
gonna get like this super secret creature that everybody's gonna.
Speaker 2: Have to read so bad or an ooze.
Speaker 1: It's like sometimes you'd swing, you know, there's like okay, Brondo,
flip your ten ten.
Speaker 2: I'm like, blap blap, blap blap, green slime. It's like
a one one that doesn't do anything when it comes
into play. It's like Nickelodeon over and it's just terrible ridiculous.
Speaker 1: But it was fun that the deck is fun to play.
Speaker 2: I like that a lot. This is a gary original question.
Did you pick up any cards or any any flippies
or what's the story with the come on with anything?
I guess, believe it or not.
Speaker 1: I didn't even go to look at singles.
Speaker 2: I feel like that's that's a bit of a what
I'm sort of part of the fun, isn't it. Yeah,
Like that's that's usually the first thing I do.
Speaker 1: Like usually I we go in, we find our spot,
and I go around all the venders see if there's
anything I want ask them.
Speaker 2: They have Griffin canyons.
Speaker 1: And I go play games, but this time I just
went in and played games, or like I have a
I had a I'd have a non singles object. I
wanted to win one of these pins, or I wanted
to meet somebody to get something.
Speaker 2: Buying stuff, are you guys always you know because it's
the biggest, huge freaking store basically right, because I have
accessibility there.
Speaker 1: I should have brought it, and I will bring it
next week so I can show you.
Speaker 2: But I did buy my one purchase of the week.
I'm want one thing.
Speaker 1: It is magic con Las Vegas twenty twenty six Super
Bowl ring.
Speaker 2: Come on, they have one of thoss They apparently they
do this freaking big Yes, like yeah, m Jf's freaking diamond. Yes, yes,
you put some of the face and the lace venture
of them.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's why I say I did every time that's
a super Bowl.
Speaker 2: I could that straight up. That's why I didn't. Super cool. Yeah,
I should have brought it. I didn't. I wouldn't have
liked I have like a case or anything that it
came in a little box. The certificate. This is like
a real thing. It's not like a gimmick.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's if people were explaining Pastime Games is the
one that that did it. They're the official tour, not sponsored,
but they they do something the official tour organizer or something,
so they get some like special merch privileges.
Speaker 2: And so what they did was they got these these Super.
Speaker 1: Bowl rings made, but they only made them in one size.
If you only make them in one size, apparently it
counts as like a collectible, and if you do it
in different sizes, then it counts as jewelry. And when
it's jewelry, there's a whole bunch.
Speaker 2: Of like different restrictions and ship. Yeah, and of.
Speaker 1: Course with restrictions and things, the cost goes up. Just
to keep costs down, they just universities collectibles. Yeah, and
so I managed to grab one and I was like,
this is really stupid.
Speaker 2: All how good does it look at your place? Like
that's that's a that's a conversation start ship.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to put on one of those little
rotating mirrors stands somewhere.
Speaker 2: It's like like, yeah, that's definitely bring it. I really
want to see that. Oh yeah, that will absolutely bring
what's Griffin Canning?
Speaker 1: Oh the dark Misprint Vision Griffin Canyon, Canyon. That was
a card that Ryan needed forever. And they're super hard
defined and I know that because I looked for them
to make sure that Ryan could never get one. That
because I wanted that so bad it was for him
to never have one. And then when I had enough
of them that I felt it would be funny. I'm
not going to say, because Ryan doesn't want to know.
I'm not even gonna say how.
Speaker 2: Many I have. But it's an you're not to say
I have some.
Speaker 1: It's a non one binder page a bit. Yeah, And
I worked really hard on this, but then Ryan managed
to get one and I could not skullduggery my way into.
My last ditch effort was trying to convince Rebecca to
commit federal fraud to intercept his mail and give it
to me, and she would not do it, which.
Speaker 2: I can appreciate.
Speaker 1: I can't appreciate it, even though I'm pretty sure that
Ryan wouldn't press charges.
Speaker 2: That's a good safety net, you know, like that. But
here we are, where did you guys all eat? Oh? Man,
give us the food?
Speaker 1: Well, the food run so Tacos eel Pastor obviously are
very favorite lot. But this year, we did branch out
that's like the strip mall that has Tacos alp Estorian.
Speaker 2: It also has a.
Speaker 1: Korean barbecue place and in all you can eat sushi place,
and a couple of our bodies went and did that
and said it was absolutely phenomenal.
Speaker 2: So I'm definitely doing that next year. Yeah you're okay
with sushi. Yeah. I can't do the sushi at all,
So all the props everyone who does.
Speaker 1: It and me and Ryan and uh Anthony and damn it,
I wish I could remember.
Speaker 2: I can always remember like half the people that were there.
Far Ice Son, your old chair, you know how this
thing I do. I'm almost the tall one again. I
had no idea how low. I wasn't tell her my
knees were starting early anyway. And then we went to
live to the Faw place. It was. It was superrettuper good.
And you're a new FA guy. Yeah, I just discovered
Vancouver a few months ago and I'm like totally on board.
I really enjoyed. Price is always right, always delicious. Shout.
Speaker 1: It's always cheap and fast, and the meat is all
the same color, which is weird, but but I kind
of like it.
Speaker 2: And it was the weirdest place like this this FOP
place right Like, you go in and it's you know,
the Saved by the Bell had that place that they
all sat right test, you know, and they have a
guess dogging home a glass night the Max, the Max
Max Max.
Speaker 1: I think it's Max down in the comments if you
remember what the place was, but imagine like instead of
it being pink and blue and white, it's like black
and purple and red is what.
Speaker 2: Colors is, right, So it's kind of like it's got
kind of a.
Speaker 1: Spacey, cyber club vibe and they're serving faugh it's cool.
And then in the bathrooms, the walls had all these
like old cartoon murals like cool World and who framed
Roger Rabbit, except they were all like pin up styles.
Speaker 2: And you're ever going to talk about sexy cartoon characters.
That's two of the sexiest, right thing. It was wild,
It is so.
Speaker 1: Cool, and you could tell it was definitely something else
at some point. But then this FOP place just moved
in and nothing.
Speaker 2: That's fun. That's fun, that's fun and this yeah, and.
Speaker 1: It was awesome like that, So that was really really cool.
Speaker 2: Some of the guys went to a Greek place that
I had no interest in. Uh.
Speaker 1: That was the night that we went down to Main
Street and ate at I wish I could remember the
name of this really.
Speaker 2: Great Mexican restaurant where it had like I don't know,
it was just who's the Mexican fortune teller lady? Like
there was a whole wall of just pictures of her.
Speaker 1: And there was like a one of those fortune teller
in the box, like oh yeah.
Speaker 2: From the one from Big like a robot and you
put the thing and it tells you a fortune.
Speaker 1: Yes, there was like a Zandor, but it was this lady.
It was and it was so good and like chips
and salsa and I refried beans and I had a
chimmy choga of chimmy chogas it turns out, Oh yeah,
Like the food in Vegas is always amazing. And if
you are lucky enough to have a nick Rob, which
you would if you.
Speaker 2: Were to go along with us on the CSO experience,
should you should?
Speaker 1: And TMS will also probably be around. He'll know lots
more things by then. Uh you we can always go.
Speaker 2: To cool places. Way Castle, White Castle, Man, I freaking love.
We drove past White castle. We didn't tintle. Did we
do drunk food at all? I don't know. Doesn't sound
like because you just named a lot of spots. That
would have been pretty much the whole weekend. We had
like Totino's pizza.
Speaker 1: Rolls in the jingle in the freaking freezer and that
was kind of that. Ryan had like a box of
chicken fingers he bought at the grocery store the night
we got in.
Speaker 2: We munched on that like I had all the things. Hey,
gotta get those fingers. And I'm not laughing because like
I love chicken fingers. I just love how that was
the one, Like it's like, if we're gonna do something,
the chicken fingers at the chicken sauce, tell me that
dipping sauce. No, oh, you guys, No, just raw dogs,
bare back of bare back. That was pretty god run down.
The food, Yeah, very good in Vegas always. Uh. We
missed our chefs though we did have. We did have one.
Speaker 1: Austin is a chef, but he was very stressed out
getting his uh costume done.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and rightfully so because it's the champion. Yeah. This
next one, I'm just gonna read this word for work
because this makes me so so happy. Okay, okay, okay,
we got I'm going to read this d in the camera.
This is really good. We got stranded, but hung out
all day at the pool after the corn Oh yeah wait,
even got to watch the thunder from down under male
strippers warm up by the pool? Yes? Please, yes, How
fricking hilarious was that?
Speaker 1: That was actually pretty fantastic.
Speaker 2: Were they like straight, like just speedoed out Orn's out.
Speaker 1: Or I can send it to I didn't take a
video because I thought that that would be like little
too much.
Speaker 2: Somebody had probably beat me up. Yeah that's fair, but
by the way, these guys would murder all of it
by the pool. I'm as straight as they come. And
I'm telling you that is yssive.
Speaker 1: Just jacked up, really handsome dudes doing stretches getting ready
for their show. That.
Speaker 2: Did you guys talk to them?
Speaker 1: No, they were on the other side of there was
our fence in the way, okay, to keep all the
babes off of them, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great thing. That's that's pretty cool. I
always hear they're like, like the females are worse than
the males, and the strip clubs is what i've here. Again,
legend has that this isn't me starting any thing, but
I hear like gu's pretty unruly at these Thunder from
down Under shows. I've heard the same. Yeah, I have
no experience with it, but I judge it. But well,
there's no judging ever judge you know that as long
as it's interesting to think about that though, right, because
you don't really typically place females if you've ever been
to a strip club before, in the same sort of
like sort of guys that you see like traditionally at
these strip one very very interesting. Yeah, I think it
is too. Actually, yeah, I would just doubt. I kind
of want to see it. Well, dude, I'd love to
go with you heartat I would totally go and see that.
And I've heard it's like it can get pretty rocky.
Speaker 1: And I'll bet you that watching the people watch the
show would be just as entertainment.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you see horns flop out. We've all
seen horns flopp oh, because but seeing the reactions to
horns flopp and I think that's where sweet spoty is.
Speaker 1: I think maybe there's a different when you go into
like any house of ill repute or strippers that I've
ever seen.
Speaker 2: There's like a.
Speaker 1: Immediately upon touching the door, there's a don't funk around.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of a lot of good point.
Speaker 1: And then you go through a door and you've got
a guy in like half a suit and he's got
one button on his vest undone because you know he's
already beaten the guy with a bike chain for fucking
around and he.
Speaker 2: Had to find out real quick.
Speaker 1: So then you walk by that guy and there's the
dude that checks your ID, and he's got a freaking
knife in his head and he's like, hey, here's your ID,
here's a beer. Don't funk around, And then you sit down.
It's like, hey, I'm not gonna suck.
Speaker 2: You learn quick, right, they put that fear into you.
That's a great question.
Speaker 1: They do that at the but I'll bet you at
the Thunder from down Under, I'll make sure they don't
do it.
Speaker 2: They probably do it still, but i'll bet you.
Speaker 1: It's not like that where there's like this fucking huge
gun intimidation thing as much as an information.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so like a passing gone of information. Yeah,
so you're kind of nice enough. The intimidat is walking in. Yeah,
and I see what you're saying.
Speaker 1: But I think maybe that might have something to do
with it. But it was cool to see those guys.
Speaker 2: It was cool to go to like a Las Vegas pool.
We saw some chicks and bikinis, like usually you don't
get We live in Saskatchewan, we don't get to see
that very often, so that was kind of fun.
Speaker 1: I didn't take pictures of them because I'm not a perv,
but like I saw, it was fun and there was
like kids splashing around with their parents, and like, we
didn't get to go on the water slide.
Speaker 2: It closed at five at his lane, dudet are so upset?
Whatt your hotel room cost one hundred bucks? Ten bucks?
That's a good price, ten dollars, very good price. But
it was a fifty dollars resort fee. That's how they
get done everything apparently, and that's how we.
Speaker 1: Wanted to go, and we wanted to go and use
the water slide, so we paid fifty bucks.
Speaker 2: For it, paid for it closed. Vegas get together? Man,
do you find do you find that starting to get
back to the old ways in Vegas? A little bit?
I this time, and I say that is in like
affordable and like fun.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say maybe.
Speaker 2: I'm hearing there, I think and they started hardcore was
telling us it's starting to come down a little bit.
I think they kind of have to. We've showed them,
we all showed them. They not afford what you guys
are doing.
Speaker 1: Like they pulled the veneer right off where it's just
a hand reaching out that wants you to put money
in it and they'll give you nothing until you do that.
But going down there now, like there's not a lot
of free stuff to do still, but like we stayed
for cheap, we drank because you.
Speaker 2: Did it the right way. Yeah, you can still do
it the right way, but yeah, I'd been on the
other side, Like I've been wanting to go for years.
I just haven't been actually able to afford to just
because it's not like the old days where you could
do it for ten dollars a night not have to
pay a resort fee. Yeah, so there's all that. Another
nice one here from Rynie says, just make sure you
talk about how freaking awesome the community is and how
much fun we all had together even if you weren't
in the house. Because it was awesome. Hell yeah. And
it gets no better.
Speaker 1: It gets absolutely no better than the people that we
go down there to hang out with. And we've got
like the dudes that were down there with us now
who have all been with the exception Dougie.
Speaker 2: They're all like, what do you call them? Not standard,
they're regulars, regular appearances, they're regular characters that show up.
They're essentially dude bros. At this point some of my
very favorite people in the whole world. And that's before
you do if you come up to.
Speaker 1: A local one where you're gonna have Aiden and Alex
and Brad and Keel and Pete.
Speaker 2: Beautiful, they've all been there and I love them so
I love you guys so much. Sink guy, Sink Galler
coming around right like. We have so many chefs, kisses
the chefs.
Speaker 1: So many people are in the nation that are just
there to make sure that everybody has a really good thing.
Speaker 2: It's like everybody gate keeps for each other. It's super
cool and there's no fighting. That's the gate keeping. No
one fucks up around arguing.
Speaker 1: There's no fucking pressure to do anything, Like if you
don't want to play games and just go sit by
the pool. I did that a little bit, just sat
there dangling my feet in the pool, watching the freaking
a second.
Speaker 2: How hard was that for you with your fear of
wet feet, no socks on, oh of course, just just
feet that I saw some kind of bird and I
couldn't figure it out, and I went in the house.
I was like, guys, there's this screwed up bird out here.
And they had like bird identify r apps and ship
and eventually figured it out.
Speaker 1: I forgot what the bird was down in the comments.
Speaker 3: If you're what that bird was, absolutely, but yeah, like
it's it is the best way to do Vegas because
it is exceptionally affordable and you know, it's almost guarantee
that you're gonna have a good time.
Speaker 2: It's so difficult to not have a good time.
Speaker 1: And if you're just gonna be in the city and
you know we're gonna be there, we always have like
we're gonna be around this sign all weekend. Don't feel weird.
Just look for the shirts. Come over, say hi, get
a game. You don't want to get a game, just
say hi. We'll have beer in a bag. Probably get one.
You know, if we don't, we're probably gonna head out
to the parking lot later to get one out of
the back of the truck, you know.
Speaker 2: So they always come in and always feel like you're
a part of this because you are. And it's been
made abundantly clear by the people that we see every
time we go to one of these, how good and
how welcoming and how much fun Ceco Nation is. And
that's that's a testament to them more than me and Ryan,
because we've just attracted some really, really really cool people.
I'm privileged to get to hang out with them. Very well.
Said two more things before we head out here. I
got to go pick up some pizza for the stream
coming up. He did say, just a piggyback what you
just said. This was the biggest Vegas ever. This carn
was absolutely fucking huge.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I was telling you guys a little bit
before it went on the air. So like the if
anybody has ever been to the Las Vegas pre twenty
twenty or twenty twenty one, the hall that it was in,
that hall was just the I think it was the
vendors this year.
Speaker 2: It was just one thing. And then the equally is.
Speaker 1: Big haul across the hall, like across the thing. There's
like a food court across there, and then across the
thing there was a bigger hall that was just for playing,
and then you go downstairs and there's another hall that's just.
Speaker 2: For other stuff.
Speaker 1: Like, it was wildly gigantic, And the first day I
was in there, I didn't even know where the were.
I didn't even see a place where I could I
was in Las Vegas, and I spent all day in
a building and I didn't see a spot where I
could buy anything.
Speaker 2: That's how big it was, and that's very rare in Vegas.
It was like the biggest footprint, like the most thing.
Speaker 1: I think it was the highest attended, which I mean
and the rest of the rest of.
Speaker 2: The watching is that most thing.
Speaker 1: They can fuck off, But like as far as meeting
people and playing games and doing the most stuff, certainly.
Speaker 2: The biggest one like that.
Speaker 1: So the schoolwork thing, there was a schoolwork mini game
you had to play. It was like there was like
five little puzzles you had to solve and they weren't
super hard. But I wasn't in a mind space to
be doing school work because Strixaven's a school based set,
and so you do.
Speaker 2: School work stuts it, well done, well done. Sorry, I'm
set there.
Speaker 1: And so I figured these things and to get like,
you got to solve all five of these puzzles. Then
they give you a final puzzle and if you can
figure that one out, you get one pin.
Speaker 2: Fuck.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, And like I figured out two of them,
and then I was just I can't do this.
Speaker 2: I got to the ilet to the math one, I
was like, I don't even know, just grab that pin.
Speaker 1: So I texted Lenny and Stephen, our saviors Lenny's and Steven.
Oh yeah, fucking Drake was there too, and he gave
me a set of sleeves for my nor in deck
that has a picture of me and him on it
where I have him in a headlock. And I'd have
to believe that was moments before he talked about the
guy with no name and no hometown that he landed
on and made him ship himself. Captain is Pansington.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Patreon, we love Patreon around here, and uh, he says,
final thing to go along with the patron talk, tell
everybody about patroon real quick, and then we get to

Speaker 2: Stiff Johnson's at it again.
Speaker 1: If you're gonna try and get him, I'll bet you
he's gonna be okay because he's probably got a helmet.
It doesn't matter if he gets down, because he already
has a mushroom stamp.
Speaker 2: Sid Welcome to the nation. Brother. We appreciate you very
much and and you as well. Yes, well done. Apparently
I've produced a couple of theseus. Well done. Yo. We
did the list, We did the whole list. We're done.
Speaker 1: Was there any other Vegas stories that you have to
share with the nation? Well, you've seen Brando when he's
like you've probably seen me at like my my diddly
dirdliest because like everybody at the house gets to see
me like social butterfly having fun Brando, and then at
the end of the weekend, it's always like.
Speaker 2: Feet in the pool, let's get on the airplane and
go home at Brando.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, but like you got to see the holy fuck,
why am I at work today?
Speaker 2: Brando? Like more times than anyone. It's so true. I
was telling that earlier on our live show on the network.
This guy numerous times, whether it was come back from
Cone in Chicago or Minnesota, rever was when you guys
were full conon doing the full tours. I would always
fill in for you. So I would be like, man,
I cannot do freaking Brando's job, like he needs to
get back now. So I'm already upset. And then it's
like I hate everything. Then when you get home, I'm
always so happy. And then I look into your eyes,
and each year, more and more death is slowly creeping
into your pupil. And you can notice when he would
walk in there as we've all seen, but that got
too the oh, and sometimes you wouldn't even get in
the doors, just oh, and I've seen the progression. So
I really thought he was dead this time. I thought
we lost him from all of these magic cons. But
sure enough I would know every time how to go
this time, buddy, and the stories like you just did
here like incredible. Every time that little that little bit
of your soul leaves, if well it doesn't leave, it
stays in Vegas.
Speaker 1: I think the part of it is like it gets
harder to leave every time because I get you get
to know these these people, right, and then your friends
and your buds and you have like the best time
and then it's over. So not only are you coming
back from like a four day bender with your friends
blues on steroids right now, it's compounded with the fact
that you've probably drank eight three dollars margaritas on the
casino floor and you hate yourself for it. Right you
just spend the night in a smelly hotel room at
the Caliber.
Speaker 2: Flights are delayed connections, and then you get.
Speaker 1: Home and it's like, man, I wish I was just asleep,
and you're not. You can't be because your body's like.
Speaker 2: No, you have to party some more, but you can't.
But you did make it. Yeah, I did make it.
Speaker 1: Ever grateful buddy, And you know what, I'm only pumped
to do it again. I already looking forward to the
next one. I don't even know what the next one is.

the closing or do I go in there? What do
you think it?
Speaker 1: Or no, you sit right here because you Another thing
