Speaker 1: On on on.
Speaker 2: I didn't know what was going on.
Speaker 3: I told Noah for us to go okay that we
can say Welcome to the CCO pre show for episode
five thirty five.
Speaker 4: Holy shit.
Speaker 1: Yes, we are brought to you by the wonderful patrons
at patreon dot com a slash CEO podcast.
Speaker 4: Whether they like it or not, who.
Speaker 1: Through our wonderful discord, which is one of the benefits,
just got a little bit of early bird super secret
tech from the boys over Commander Cookout. I don't know
if you noticed last night at E the H and
M I was using the Teffree playmat.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I didn't. You fucking didn't.
Speaker 4: No, I didn't.
Speaker 1: You were far away from me, literally right beside you
like one personally okay, sure, yeah, it was me and
Alex then you oh sure yeah.
Speaker 2: And his diabetes is all over the place.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I couldn't see through his diabetes.
Speaker 1: Yes, well, I have the Teffrey playmat and I posted
in the discord kind of soft launched it to the
patrons and they love it. And tomorrow you're gonna hear
all about it on the show. So stay tuned for
comedical code.
Speaker 2: What do we say? Five thirty five.
Speaker 4: That sounds like something, and I might have said.
Speaker 1: Yep, we have a great topic that we're going to
preview today.
Speaker 2: But I'm previewing the playmat right now, and I'm.
Speaker 1: Happy to say that for the first time ever ever,
Samuel L.
Speaker 2: Teffree has proper artist creditation on the playmat. I did
not rip it off.
Speaker 1: I credited the artist, and I said that it's for
donation only and it's UH produced under Wizards of the
Coast fan content policy.
Speaker 2: Boo. I'm doing everything that I know to do to
be correct. And while I.
Speaker 1: Already own the piece of original art that Rusty Trump
Jones actually has to send back to me because it's
at his house. I told Dave he's the original artist,
that I'm gonna maybe throw him like a box like
Laura when eclipsed or something, you know, something that maybe
he can draft with his friends, maybe Ninja Turtles.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And he's like, man, I didn't want anything, but
I'm like, you know what, shut about it. Shut up.
Speaker 1: Everybody likes what you did and it's gonna help It's
gonna help out Commander cookout.
Speaker 2: So I want to throw you like a box or
something so you can have an evening. You know, it's like,
buy not Guy a bottle. But I don't know if
he drinks that much.
Speaker 4: I don't know if he does anything.
Speaker 2: No, he does. He drinks lots of beer. Actually, how
come we never had him in Commander cookout?
Speaker 4: Definitely Commander?
Speaker 2: What a fucking idiot? I know, right, speaking of playing Commander,
you have a topic I do.
Speaker 3: So over the next few weeks, people said that they
liked it when we did when we did the arcs,
the overarching, Yes, and we did like the arc of whatever.
Speaker 4: And but call that.
Speaker 2: We're just kind of but not really.
Speaker 3: Going back to our og roots a little bit, and
we're gonna talk about the evolution of Commander in each color.
So what I've done is I went back. I've been
working with our friends at dhreck.
Speaker 1: Dot com, just like we used to way back in
the day. If you remember the Milk list.
Speaker 3: And I got the top ten ish commanders of each
color Mono color, and we're gonna look at the ones
from twenty nineteen, which is and this is true pre
universe is.
Speaker 2: Beyond, because everybody's been saying in the.
Speaker 4: Universe is beyond.
Speaker 3: It's a problem. It's taking over the game. It's blowing
out all these things. They're too strong.
Speaker 4: Everybody's playing them about.
Speaker 2: The same time. People have also been doing this.
Speaker 4: This, yeah, exactly, So all audis.
Speaker 1: Jerking off and spending money for the audio listeners.
Speaker 3: So what we're gonna do is we're gonna take the
top ten from twenty nineteen. And I know that I
it started in I Chorea, which was like mid twenty twenty.
But I'm not that good at the internet. So we
I worked with the engineers at dhre dot com.
Speaker 4: We got the top ten.
Speaker 2: Turns out it's them that aren't that smart.
Speaker 4: Well, I also was there, Yeah, the.
Speaker 1: Fucking blind leading the blind over here, right, And then
we're gonna compare that to the current top ten in
each of the five mono colors, and if people dig it.
Speaker 3: We do have in reserve, we have the ten two
color pairs because I feel like once you get to
three and above, like the strategies kind of stay the same.
Speaker 1: The commanders, just the strategies and the overarching kind of
themes that you see and reoccurring kind of bs that
you run into kind of is the same.
Speaker 2: Once you hit three color and five color.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and this might five color giving you the most
options and you see the most similar shit.
Speaker 3: Well, it's not it's kind it's not a shot at again,
it's not a shot at dh wreck. But like when
you look could a three plus color deck, like I
would say that a lot of people that build those
decks tend to throw in like the you don't end
up with just a bunch of good stuff piles. Because
everybody plays swords and path and beast.
Speaker 4: Within and counter spell.
Speaker 2: Well, hey, don't give it away.
Speaker 3: Those those turn out to be like the cards everybody.
It's just like why everybody knows that, Like, Okay.
Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on, hold on, hod I'm not I'm
gonna cut you off here. So myself and Uncle Brando
we're sitting at the Coachman Licensed Beverage Room having.
Speaker 2: A beer if that or not?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we were saying, man, maybe we go in
to this arc of episodes, let's call.
Speaker 3: It Arc of Evolution, if you will. I thought about
that all week. That's like a real title.
Speaker 2: That's a real title.
Speaker 3: That's not even a real yes, in five hundred and
thirty five episodes.
Speaker 4: That's the first real arc title we ever did, except
for the Arc of Good Vibes.
Speaker 2: Well, that was that was legit.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that was like a fourteen month arc.
Speaker 3: That was a good one.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Wow.
Speaker 1: So we're sitting there drinking a beer and I says,
maybe we just maybe we don't make predictions. Maybe we
don't go in with any preconceived kind of notions or
feelings or whatever, and we say, objectively, this is what
the data shows, and then go through kind of all
of the shit that you've prepared, yep, and say, at
the end of it, this is what it looks like. Now,
what is the actual quantifiable, objective visible difference instead of oh,
this is different than I thought, or this is different
than my prediction, or I thought like this, but it's
actually like, let's just like frickin look at it, yep.
Speaker 3: And which is weird for us because that's not usually
what we're known for.
Speaker 4: But we're gonna try something a little different.
Speaker 2: I'm well, I'm sure that there's still because what it
actually is. And I was thinking about this actually on
the drive over. Oh, actually I went to the.
Speaker 1: Recycling depot, then I went to the liquor store, and
then I was thinking about this on the way over.
Speaker 3: You know what I was thinking about while you were
doing that I was thinking, Man, I hope that if
he's gonna go to the recycling deepot to cash in
all those cans, he's gonna come back with beer.
Speaker 4: And then he did, because he's a good man.
Speaker 1: I don't let you down, man. I Uh, it's just
that order of operations is not one that I can
get wrong. It's like dividing by zero or timsing by one,
like you always know what the answer is.
Speaker 2: We're not even gonna go down that one.
Speaker 1: Zero is always zero and one is always the same
number that you're timing it by, right.
Speaker 4: I did know that, Yes, I did know that.
Speaker 1: Another because because we're us, we are going to have
an emotional and passionate reaction to.
Speaker 2: Whatever the data actually is.
Speaker 1: Right, So it's not going to be like robot one
plus two plus three plus four A plus B equal C.
It's not gonna be that, though it's it is because
that's what we're looking at. But if A plus B
equal c pisces you off, that might be a thing
that just kind of spews out and bubble.
Speaker 3: Or maybe it'll be and this is this is legit,
like for right now, like this episode.
Speaker 4: To prepare for it, I did have to go through
all the commanders.
Speaker 3: Yes, but going ahead, the guys at dh wreck did
say that they'd kind of work with me, and I
was like, hey, can we do this? So that's a
little bit blinder, like would you could we do that?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 3: Could you just send the image files in his ZIP?
Speaker 4: And we can and we can do it live on
the show.
Speaker 3: So you don't know what they are either except for
this episode, he's gonna work with me, and but for
this episode and maybe the next one, i'll know them
because I had to get the graphics. But going for
the rest of the arc, we're going to do it
blind on the show.
Speaker 2: So sick.
Speaker 1: Okay, I didn't actually know that part, and I was
looking forward to you knowing and me not knowing because
we played this wonderful freaking game at the Coachman License.
Every where He's saying, well, let's look at the we
were talking about white.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because that's what we're talking about on the show tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, we were looking at white and then me
and f you Aiden and f you Alex were like
trying to guess the top ten most played white cards
on dahreck dot com.
Speaker 2: Oh fun game.
Speaker 1: Put it in the comments below what you think the
top ten most played white cards are, don't freaking cheat
and go to DH wreck either.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: For the record, they got nine of the ten and
the only reason they didn't get ten is because I
forgot what the ten P one was. But like, I
remembered all of them, and then I know there's one
in the middle of what the fuck shit?
Speaker 4: And then because you.
Speaker 3: Got the weird obscure ones and like the obvious ones.
Speaker 2: Because white's easy.
Speaker 3: White is easy because it's got a very niche, really
really great.
Speaker 2: Card like your mother's ass.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly like that, so and very slipping and sliding
and easy. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And then the conversation about white and I almost gave
some shit away.
Speaker 1: There, and what we were talking about led me to
make an observation pose it and observation about white that
led to like, actually a good discussion about white and
its evolution and why we play.
Speaker 2: The cards we played like. It was great.
Speaker 1: I know that you're excited about this, and you led
a bunch of the kind of development of the next
few episodes, So I'm excited to be excited and be surprised.
Speaker 3: Actually, now, clappity clap, clap, I'm doing for the audio listeners.
Speaker 1: Yes, that and all of that magic talk and preview
was for the people who leave comments on the YouTube
channel saying we don't talk about magic, so we put
that frontloaded it there.
Speaker 2: I'm going to talk about not magic now.
Speaker 4: Oh sweet.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So remember at my wedding, she probably don't barely.
Speaker 3: I remember getting stunnered and I remember.
Speaker 2: Do you remember when my uncle fell under the truck? Yes, okay,
yes I do.
Speaker 4: That was excellent.
Speaker 1: So I tells my cousin that his dad fell under
the truck, and he goes, wait, what.
Speaker 2: Fell under the truck?
Speaker 1: It defied all known laws of gravity, started to work sideways,
kind of like snow in Saskatchewan.
Speaker 3: It's like when if you have like a little you
know what. I can't even describe what it was because
I was like, oh, if you had a slimy thing
that slid down the side of the truck, because then
it would be beside it.
Speaker 4: And it didn't.
Speaker 3: He was like he kind of went over and it
really physical curve motion.
Speaker 1: It was very So yesterday at work, I fell under
a truck. No shit, Yeah, So my boss parks the
truck right up close to the curb and if you
live in a snowy climate, you know that when the
snow's the snow gets plowed, like, the snow gets pushed
to the edges of the road and it makes piles.
And you can't really walk on those piles because they
dry rock solid and they're super steep, but freezing thong,
freezing thowng we're in spring. It's smaller and rounder on
top and slicker, and I'll get out.
Speaker 2: You can't walk on them.
Speaker 1: So I'm shimmying down between the snow pile and the
side of the truck.
Speaker 2: That's filthy. I don't want to touch.
Speaker 1: It, ye, I don't want So I'm s shimmying, shimmying, shimmying, thinking,
don't step on the snow pile because you will immediately slip.
Speaker 3: Yes, you will immediately eat shit and people will laugh
at you.
Speaker 2: Yes, because it's made out of ice at this point.
Speaker 4: Correct.
Speaker 1: So I get to the back door of the truck,
open it, grab my hard hat, glasses, gloves, vest I've
got my shoes in my hand and everything's in my hat,
and I've got contracts in this hand, and it's like
all my hands are full.
Speaker 3: I'm picturing this in my mind now and I laughing
shut the truck door with my arm like this, yeah,
and I go, okay, I turn, I did.
Speaker 2: I didn't fall when I shut the door. I was
very careful that.
Speaker 1: I have to traverse over this pile of this death
trap of ice, and I step up onto it, and
I says, I says, okay, step up onto the top
of the ice pile.
Speaker 3: Because that's the safest part.
Speaker 2: Well, it's the part that my foot won't slide back
down on. Sure it is.
Speaker 1: So I got my foot maybe ninety eight percent onto
the top of the ice pile.
Speaker 3: There was not enough and.
Speaker 2: Went fucking straight down.
Speaker 4: And it was like one frame to you and from
here to fucking hoar.
Speaker 2: Yes, gravity super accelerates you very fast.
Speaker 1: And because gravity is like, oh, I'm already working overtime,
I might.
Speaker 2: As well shoot him or straight under the truck.
Speaker 1: I've got contracts in my hand and all my shit
and my shoes, and at this point it's already traveling
towards the center of the Earth.
Speaker 2: That's how gravity works.
Speaker 1: If I drop it to save myself, it's gonna go
sliding right under to the center of the under of
the truck. Correct, And the road's not frozen. Just this
pile of ice I'm standing on it. Only this pile
of ice I'm traveling at the speed of gravity towards
is frozen. All my shit's gonna go under the truck
unless I take one for the team, which the team
in this case is all of my possessions.
Speaker 3: Did you take one for the corporation? Producer Gary would
be so disappointed?
Speaker 2: My elbow did elbow for the And I go oh, And.
Speaker 1: My boss turns are you Are you okay? Because that's
the corporate thing to ask?
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you said and you said no no, because.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, I wrenched the back, dude, and.
Speaker 3: Then you have a dance party because it hurt yourself
on the job. Yeah, rich, Now I can, dude.
Speaker 2: I could do a podcast on how to knock get
fucked at work if you didn't get to work. That's
the noise I made when I fell.
Speaker 1: My boss turns around and and he says, are you okay?
Speaker 2: Because he's legally obligated to ask me that. Yes. And
then as soon as I did.
Speaker 1: That howl, oh, he goes, you sound like an old man.
Speaker 2: I'm covered in fucking snow.
Speaker 1: My pants are soaked, and I just had to walk inside,
and all of the people who saw me fall just
made me feel shame.
Speaker 3: Yeah, when you slip on the ice, you are now
a pariah. You suck and everything, and that's how you
should feel.
Speaker 1: That is the story of my yesterday and this morning.
People were asking me if I was in pain, and
I said, just my elbow.
Speaker 4: And luckily you should say just your feeling.
Speaker 2: It wasn't. It wasn't the end of my elbow, Thank Christ.
It was like kind of down my arm a little bit,
like here.
Speaker 4: It's your forearm.
Speaker 2: Broh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's still it's there's only like fifteen percent
meat there, so I still I still got some bone.
Speaker 2: I got some bone on ice. Don't google that, don't Yeah,
don't don't google that.
Speaker 3: Small wiener fetish. I mean, that's no king shaming in
the nation.
Speaker 2: But like, yeah, I like.
Speaker 3: I like to see it next to an ice cube
because then you know it's small and that's awesome.
Speaker 2: Or you put you put the ice cube on it
and it makes it shrink.
Speaker 4: I wonder if the man. I don't want to get
too deep into this, but it's too late, too deep.
Speaker 3: Into anything, because now I'm thinking about it. Do you
think that there is a subset of human Absolutely.
Speaker 2: If this is a sexual question, yes, absolutely.
Speaker 3: And their thing is looking at like little teeny weenie
peenies and.
Speaker 4: They and the goal is to make them look.
Speaker 3: As teeny weeny as possible.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, huh.
Speaker 3: I would like to meet one of those people and
ask them what about that?
Speaker 2: I would too what maybe I would impress them? Yeah?
Speaker 4: What about that?
Speaker 3: What about that makes them? You know, I'm I'm genuinely curious.
Speaker 2: It's just what they like.
Speaker 3: Not because I think a fucking huge, throbbing Vanny Cocks
is what everybody likes. But I'm genuinely curious when it's
like a weird like it's just a head sticking out
of a belly, Like what does that looks like a penny?
Speaker 2: Like just glued to you? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Like whoa with a weird urethra hole in it? Like?
What is what is that?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 4: I'm curious.
Speaker 3: I'm genuinely curious about that. But that's the Commander Cookout
pre show because that's what we can do here, and
that's why we're never an official guest anywhere anymore. That
and the fact that we they thought we started a
shootout in Chicago.
Speaker 2: Did we No, oh no, we didn't know.
Speaker 4: Everybody think that we did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well concealed Cary State or something.
Speaker 3: Because because we were we were playing smack the pack
open and everybody thought we were getting off in public.
Speaker 4: People thought we were getting shot.
Speaker 3: So that's why we're here and you're there and we're
not there, but we're gonna be there in Vegas.
Speaker 4: You can come meet us and.
Speaker 3: We're gonna talk more about that maybe a little bit tomorrow.
But if you want to come to Saskatoon or Calgary
or Vegas, we're gonna be there.
Speaker 2: China.
Speaker 3: Yeah, nobody wants to go there though.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you're going.
Speaker 3: Well I'm going because I have keeling peace because you
have to because.
Speaker 4: Well now I don't have to go. I can make
an excuse and knockout.
Speaker 2: No, I'm telling you you do.
Speaker 1: You have to be there for me because I'm not
going telling me telling you what I won't knock five
point thirty five, Commander Cookout. We're doing the Arc of Evolution,
Yeah we are tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, hit our theme song. Are we
