Trap nerds. Trap nerds. Real n. Like you never hurt.
Xavier
Welcome, welcome, welcome. Welcome to another exciting episode of the Trapped Nurse podcast. How's it going, guys? Dre, how's your week, dude?
Dre
Been kicking it? Nothing much. Red Dead Redemption finally came on PS plus. So I've been finally running that and going through an emotional just goddamn struggle. Cause you know how it end at the end again?
Tony
You ready to hurt again?
Dre
Cause you know, that was the funny thing. Like, this is literally with Red Dead 1, this is my third time. Like, I played it when it first came out. Then I played it. Like, that's like, I probably say like two, three years before we started the podcast because I finally got a PS3, and then, you know, now it's on PS Plus. So I'm playing a PS5 version. And it's nice. I can say it's holding up pretty good. Like, it made me want to go back play GTA 4, because that was like the two.
Xavier
I recently brought it on PC.
Dre
What? What? Red Dead 2 or One Two.
Tony
It was like $5 on a Steam cell. I usually is, is this is.
Dre
Is it? I swear to God, I find. Hey, let's role play and just piss off people in the light.
Tony
Not anymore. Yeah, you missed the sale.
Dre
How much is it now?
Tony
Basically check every time Steam does a sale. Red Dad's on sale.
Dre
But hey, did y' all check? Hey, get high Gore's Legacy too, because it's free right now.
Tony
Yeah, I grabbed it.
Xavier
I'm trying to get it.
Dre
Have you. Did you ever play Hogwarts Legacy to Tony?
Tony
I sure didn't, bruh.
Dre
Worth it. I ain't even gonna lie. Like, as you know, because you know how Baku goddamn Muggle ass type shit. You know, he don't get it. But now Legacy go hard as fuck.
Tony
I think it's Xavier. That's the. The Muggle.
Xavier
Yeah.
Eli
I'm Ravenclaw.
Dre
Oh, damn.
Xavier
If Muggle means knows nothing about Harry Potter, then. Then, yeah, I'm a Muggle.
Dre
So why you didn't get a one when we did the Strange Beast? I mean, Fantastic Beast. Shit, who you? I don't remember.
Eli
I never asked For a one.
Xavier
It was only three.
Tony
Yeah.
Eli
Oh, I didn't care about getting a one.
Dre
But I say you deserve it more than snacks. Ass nasty. Get snacks. Get a nigga your one.
Xavier
Oh, no, I like one on a standpoint of like wizards and shit.
Dre
I got this shit on my shelf to this day, nigga.
Tony
Yeah.
Xavier
I mean, I should have gave mine to Eli. Cause I don't know.
Tony
That's crazy.
Dre
That's wild. That's why, see, we get invited to shit. Niggas don't be appreciative. I cherish that one. That was the one that missed on to me. I did that whole little survey and shit. Like I asked. I asked questions.
Xavier
I probably found it's somewhere in my closet.
Dre
But other than that, I beat Sleeping Dogs. And that is still like a very great like that. Like that's one of the PS3 games that still hold up to this day. And did y' all see the dude? Seema Semaloo? The dude that was Shane Chi. He's trying to bas. He got a sleeping dolls movie. It's green lit. I don't know how. I don't know if it's.
Tony
It's been greenlit for like a year. I don't know.
Dre
But yeah, it's like I was seeing that cuz that was another reason I finally went in. I still. I ran the zombie dlc. So now I gotta run the Bruce. The Bruce Lee dlc. But bruh, it was shout out to Fat Boy Gaming. Cause he had hopped in chat and then I had f around saw him stream and then he was playing Sleeping Dud. That bit was on sale for like $3. I had to do it. I had to do it. So ran it. That's been me this week, so I'm probably gonna. It was another. Yeah. Then I hopped on Red Dead. So after I beat Red Dead, I'm hopping back on the Far cry stint. So isn't it work? And I just been chilling, Tony.
Xavier
I feel like I'm breathing loud. You are, Tony.
Tony
Let's see. I finished Lord of Mysteries this week and I don't know. I don't know. I. I really like the aesthetic. I like the idea of the power scaling. I like the characters I like. But I think overall it was. And I don't know because apparently this is like a really popular Chinese anime. And I don't know if it's the fault of the adaptation or if it's written like this, but I feel like is kind of scattered. Like. I mean it starts off dropping you where you're this dude Klein, he is some resurrected being from another world where. Because the dude he's inhabiting killed himself, like, shot himself in the head. And then he wants to become a Beyonder, which is like this world's mages, like, they. They use all kinds of weird magic and stuff to try to ascend to, like, godhood. And I don't know, I. I really. I want to say I really enjoyed it, but, like, there were times where I felt really lost. And I don't know if that was intentional for the show, because I think I want to say at the moment, I felt lost. Klein also felt lost, but I don't know that I felt lost in the same way. I don't know if that makes sense.
Dre
I think you don't know if they did. They was doing that on purpose or is that part of the story or not?
Tony
Yeah, right. And the power scaling, like I said, is really good things. I would say, like, near the end, it doesn't. It's not like, properly explained because it's not like he goes really high in his power just in the first season. But I don't know. I'm interested to watch more. I think so. I think that's a good thing. No, so. And I didn't drop off of it, so there is that. And as for gaming. Oh, wait, no, I did start. I started another show too, called Mythic Quest. And it's basically like. It's like.
Dre
I remember that name. The.
Tony
It's the Office, but in a game development studio.
Dre
I did.
Tony
Or Parks and Rec. Like that.
Dre
That was like, on like Hulu or some shit for a long time or some.
Tony
It's on. It's on Apple.
Dre
Yeah, I. I do remember it because it got the dude from. What it has Charlie Day.
Tony
Yeah, yeah, from the dude from Always Sunny in Philadelphia. He's hilarious. He's hilarious. He's like this egotistical Todd Howard. It's. It's hilarious because I remember.
Dre
I just remember the one scene issue. He was like his secretary. I don't want to say his secretary, but the second in command, she was like, I want to be a woman and do all this. And he was like, all right, hit me with the idea. Exactly. All you. You are literally right here. All you have to do is hit me with the goddamn idea. And you are already in second in command. Nobody can say shit. And she couldn't think of one. And I was like, damn, that's hilarious.
Xavier
Is Charlie Day the one with the voice? The funny voice?
Dre
No, he's the one with the slick back.
Eli
Why is your mic so loud?
Dre
All right.
Eli
No, not you, Dre.
Tony
No, it's. You're thinking of God. What's his name? He did Luigi.
Eli
Not no more.
Tony
Never mind.
Xavier
Yeah. Something wrong with you?
Dre
I know exactly. I cannot remember his name. Tony, cuz, you know, Charlie Day got the slick back and then there a dude. Is he a ginger.
Xavier
No, the guy with the voice like this.
Tony
Yeah, the one who did Luigi. I'm trying. What is his name, bro?
Dre
I cannot remember his name.
Xavier
It's Charlie Day.
Tony
Wait, it's Charlie Day.
Dre
Wait.
Xavier
Damn.
Tony
Wait, wait.
Xavier
That's Charlie Day.
Tony
I'm so confused now.
Dre
Hold up, hold up.
Xavier
So you mean Rob Mac?
Dre
We mixing up white people? Oh, yeah.
Tony
Rob Mack. Okay. Yeah.
Xavier
You know.
Dre
Yeah.
Tony
Charlie Day is the creator of the show. Okay.
Xavier
Oh, okay. I'm in.
Dre
Charlie Day is the nigger in the in in that show.
Xavier
He's one of my favorite comedic actors. He's funny. He's funny. And horrible bosses.
Dre
He was horrible bosses.
Tony
It's pretty funny, man. I've really been enjoying it. I've missed. I've missed a show that has like that kind of day to day humor.
Dre
Right.
Xavier
Have you seen Abbott Elementary?
Tony
No. I want to though. I keep seeing a bunch of clips from it that are hilarious.
Xavier
Watch it.
Tony
My algorithm was like feeding me those for a while.
Dre
The funniest one is forever. Oh, you think you Deadpool?
Tony
Yeah, that's the one I've seen too. You look at the camera.
Xavier
The principal is the funniest one on there, bro. Janelle James, she's hilarious.
Dre
Now when the look go like I'm you, it's the.
Xavier
No, the Italian teacher is too, because you. I let them say one cuss word a week, do a class and they're just flying off cuss words. That crap was hilarious.
Tony
And for gaming, I've just been playing. They gave me something else to do in. In Arc Raiders, they gave me another goal. Get to 5 million currency.
Dre
Is that like the community go shit or is that like some personal shit?
Tony
No. So I think I mentioned this before, but they're doing expeditions and they finally revealed the. The details of how that's going to work. So essentially if you have 5 million in the end game currency or stash value combined, right? So you don't need to have one or the other. Then you will get five it per million. It's one skill point that's permanent for next season. So five million to the cap. So if you get to five million, you get five skill points right off. Rip and they're permanent for the whole.
Dre
How many. How many you got?
Tony
Right now I've got three million. I've got until next week to get another two.
Dre
That's what, like three days for you?
Tony
Yes. No, it's. I think it's. Was it the sixth? Oh yeah. Three days. I could do that.
Dre
I'm like, I'm like, I'll see. I'm learning the Tony Gamer logic. See, I'm getting it.
Tony
Yeah. Yeah. So I'm hard at work on that. Stealing other people's gains, doing what I have to do.
Dre
You grind me as hell right now then.
Tony
Yeah, it's true. I'm on my. I'm on my extra villain arc. Like I know I always tell the stories about, you know, PvP, but like generally I will help people if I have to. I just tell the PvP stories because they're funny. But now it's different story. We're on villain arc demon time now. Nobody's safe.
Dre
I'm sorry I gotta do it to you, nigga. You not my friend.
Tony
But don't worry, I won't betray anyone. I'll shoot him outright.
Dre
Good shit, Tony.
Tony
And that's my. That's my week. Eli, how was your week?
Eli
Well, just finished a new show on Netflix called Boots that I watched. It's set in the start of the war on terror. Around record war times.
Dre
9, 11 and shit.
Eli
Yeah, start around the time. I think it's around 2003, when we invaded Iraq or whatever. And it's about this kid who joined army with his friend, drawing the marines with his friend. But he gay, so you know it was illegal to be gay.
Dre
Yeah, don't. Don't ask, don't tell.
Eli
Yeah.
Dre
So that.
Eli
It's a pretty good show. I like the show. It's good.
Xavier
It's about the struggles with that.
Eli
And then I started Spartacus, House of Asher. And it's interesting story, you know, after y' all see Spark. Because Ash is the one who. Who betrayed the.
Xavier
The.
Eli
The Spark, the gladiators. And so this, this is like an alternate universe. He goes to the. The.
Xavier
The. The.
Eli
The realm of the dead and he gets brought back to life in the alternate universe where he. Where he's the one who's the hero for killing Spartacus. And so now he got his own house of gladiators and stuff like that. It's really good. And so.
Dre
So.
Eli
So he tried to get into the games.
Dre
He tried to get to the games.
Eli
But the people looking down on him. He tried to get it to the. The Top part of the games. And so he they f. He kills their best warrior because he was talking trash. And so he tried to show he was he. He was big dog him. So he kills him. He kills him. So he didn't have a warrior so they had to find a new warrior for the to fight these three little people. So the three little people killed killed his warrior, so.
Dre
Oh he said little people.
Eli
Oh yes. So the three warriors kill his. Kill the little people. The three little people kill his main warrior, his, his new champion or whatever.
Dre
So they have to visualize this.
Eli
So he has to find a new gimmick to get him to the games. And it's a woman gladiator, so that's his new gimmick. So he's trying to train a woman gladiator to get into the games so he could get into the higher levels because they trying to keep him out because, because the, the aristocracy don't like him very much. They don't like him very much at all. So and this is the, and they they mixing some history in there. So this is they mixing Gaius Julius Caesar coming to power and all that stuff. It's all mixed into this. So it's, it's interesting man.
Dre
Interesting.
Xavier
Xavier, my week was great actually having. I'm opening for Matthew Browser this weekend so it's been a really fun weekend so far. Also my newest Christmas movie I watched this week, one of my favorite black Christmas movies. It's one of the movies we don't get nowadays.
Dre
Passion of the Christ.
Xavier
No. How dare you. How dare you. You know I went to go see that movie and when I was a kid and it scared the shit out of me because like three people start speaking in tongue in theaters. I'm like oh no, which movie? Passion of the Christ just even more wild.
Dre
I was not ready for that one.
Xavier
I remember going up on that.
Dre
I was joking.
Tony
I'm too young. I didn't go see that movie.
Dre
I saw it on vhs.
Xavier
Yeah, I saw the bootleg too. But yeah this Christmas it's has the Reddit divine has Chris Brown, Makai Pfeiffer, Lauren London. One of those movies with all like a star. Yeah. Regina King. One of those movies with the star studded black audience.
Dre
They haven't done one all star. All star black lineup.
Xavier
Yeah, yeah. Huh.
Dre
For a happy movie. Yeah, for a happy movie.
Xavier
You know that movie where it's kind of like soul food where the family is is happy at the beginning then some happened in the middle.
Dre
Oh, she lose her leg. Yeah. And then it Got dark fast, didn't it?
Xavier
Then by the end, everything. Back door, everybody's back, friends again. It was good. One of my favorite scenes.
Dre
What?
Xavier
What you about to say?
Dre
No, I was like, hey, Tony, I know you ain't seen Soul Food. Just go watch Soul Food. Because I do like another. Just like Soul Food is a wild movie when you think about it.
Eli
Well, that movie is so ignorant. That movie is so ignorant, bro.
Tony
Like.
Dre
Not in on some black shit. Like a lot of shit. That was like Tyler Perry before Tyler Perry.
Xavier
These things they be saying about the movie now. They be saying like, old girl deserve to get cheated on because she's Babylon her husband. But then again, they be talking about how dude had that post nut clarity off banging old girl.
Dre
It was so much going on in that movie, son. The story lines in that movie where it were wild. That's why I always say, like, baby boy, Yvette wasn't. And she's slightly a pedophile.
Tony
Yeah, I didn't watch it. This is when my grandma was still a little racist.
Dre
See, we need these type of shit. See, that's what I. We get it. See now because that's why I ask these questions.
Xavier
Yeah.
Dre
And I know if you watch it, you'll get mad a little like, oh, no.
Xavier
Oh, yeah, yeah. It's one of those type movies. Oh, my. But no, it is this Christmas. Now. It's a really good movie. Like I said, Chris Brown all the minute. Loretta Vaughn plays the grandma. Basically, everybody's coming in town to come over her house and enjoy Christmas. And you know, as a family, as they go through it, things start happening where, like, Regina Keen and her husband are together. They find out she's cheating. One of my favorite. It's not she's cheating. He's cheating on her. One of my favorite scenes in the movie is where she put baby on the floor and her husband getting out of the shower, she start whooping with the belt. But then it get unnecessary because she ends up driving his car off the cliff. I'm like, girl, why you just selling the car? Why would you do that?
Dre
You see it like, what is that?
Tony
Escalation.
Dre
What a what escalation? Nigga, we taking it there, nigga. Off top.
Xavier
It's like one of them you go girl moments. But I'm like, why would you do that? Drove his already hit him with a belt. You whooped him with a belt? With a belt.
Dre
You won right there.
Xavier
Yeah, cuz. She put baby on the floor. He could get up off the floor. Like, she's Beating the mess out of him.
Dre
That was your strong I'm taking control of me moment. And then you go do that and it's like, oh, oh, oh, whoa.
Xavier
But yeah, it's, it's. It's a good movie. A lot of. There's a lot of different story lines in this movie. Not as crazy as Soulful, but like seeming like there's a lot of different people. Like Lauren London, it had her boyfriend there. Like she was. I forget this dude name, but he's in a lot of movies and he kind of always plays the same. Same character a little bit.
Eli
All the people in Soulful was bad people. They was bad people.
Dre
Bad people.
Eli
They trash and human being. Yeah, of course she was the worst.
Xavier
She was terrible person.
Dre
Like it's a great story but the stereotypes hit really hard right there type at times like that. Are you trying to relate to us? Are you trying. Are you just like. I'm offended a little bit.
Xavier
But yeah, that's something. And I seen. I don't know, I started watching. I think this is like fourth year in a row that I watched a Holiday Heart on the. During the Christmas season.
Dre
I ain't seen Holiday Heart in a good minute. Classic Gay Veen rhymes, right?
Xavier
It's just really good. Okay, he is gay in the movie, but it also needs to be highlighted how good his acting is in this movie too. Because he acted his ass off in this movie.
Dre
I'm not gonna lie. When people talk about trans people and shit, I automatically envision Holiday art when it comes to dudes. Like, that's my go to. I'm not gonna lie. But all. All trans dudes that want to act like they act like Holiday Hart.
Xavier
He was a drag queen.
Dre
You know what?
Xavier
Fuck it.
Dre
Somebody gonna get mad at me for this one. But fuck all that type of shit. Y' all saw how that nigga act. It's one of them. You didn't know if he was trans. You didn't know if he was gay. You didn't know. He did do the cross dressing shit, but still post op or pre op. Hold on, you're not go about.
Xavier
It was definitely a man.
Dre
You know what I mean? And that was like Brett, not for the wildest. Oh, Holiday hard. You know, I know the moment that me up is when Holiday went to go get old girl and the daughter and they was in the crack house and she. And mama was going to sell her daughter off and Holiday Hurricane got her ass and Holiday Hurricane got her ass and. And then the other nigga started whooping her Ass. I was like, damn, this real. Is all. Hell no.
Xavier
Yeah. She's like, no.
Dre
And when he walked in when she was trying to get some dick in his house and he just down there slung that nigga to the wall and slapped the shit out of her ass.
Xavier
I need to hear from the whole Hilltops. Apologize. Apologize to me.
Dre
Hey, bro, I'm going to let her hit different.
Xavier
Yeah, bro, I'm telling you, that's a good movie. Real good movie. She's one of my favorite actresses. Old girl to play the mama because she.
Dre
She liked the old black lady in a lot of movies.
Xavier
Yeah. Down in the Delta. That was another good movie.
Dre
She was like, you know, in the early, late, like the 90s when it was like them, like, if you in like classic, super A list, you was in damn near every B list movie. Yeah. Type. She was one of them Hollywood. Still a great. I got the bike holiday.
Xavier
I got the bike holiday. But she holiday whooping them asses, bro. Yes. Like, she whooping they behinds, bro. I would have seen too. He dressed like a woman, too. Ain't way Just like a woman gonna let me go. Whoop me.
Dre
I gotta air this out.
Xavier
I'm sorry, I can't ask who a crackhead get shot, bro. I ain't playing, bro.
Dre
But nah. Hey, didn't Holiday heart string your ass up on the wire? We don't talk about that.
Xavier
Hey, did you get beat up so bad by drag queen? You had a shooter that. Shut up, bro.
Dre
That's why. Hey, hey. Shout out to Vin Reigns because that was the wildest like, just like left turn I've ever seen in movies like V. Rams that know him from Baby Boy still ain't booby. And when he kiss Jody on the forehead, well, like, damn, Jody that got. That was range kissed it. That's wild. If I'm bald and a kiss the top of my head, you gotta die. I'm sorry. I can't go out like that. I can't. You can't tell nobody about it.
Xavier
Well, we got. That's all I have for my week. That's all I did. I do some more stuff. Yeah, that's all de. Well, we gotta go to a quick break. We gotta go to a quick break. But when we come back, some movie trailers released after this.
Commercial Voice / Eva Longoria
This is Eva Longoria from Hungry for History with Eva Longoria and Maite Gomez Rejon. Hi, everyone. Happy holidays. Let's talk about those two words about keeping the holidays happy. Because let's be honest, even the happiest season could use a boost. You've got to take a minute for yourself, a little me time, and refill those joy reserves so there's still plenty left to share. Maybe that means taking a break from wrapping, planning, cooking, hosting to recharge with a refreshing Coca Cola. Ah, one sip and you're ready to hang more lights. Sip and recharge your jolly now. Because self care isn't selfish, it's necessary. Whether you're a holiday multitasker extraordinaire or the host with the most or, I don't know, the actual Santa Claus, you deserve a moment to reset. So if things are getting a little too jingly jangly, take a breath, center yourself, have a Coke, and get back out there refreshed, radiant, and ready to slay. Yes, I did. See how I I did Santa's slate. You're welcome. Enjoy a Coca Cola refresh your holidays.

Those in particular we recently watched was Supergirl, Avatar, the Way of Fire, and Street Fighter. So we're going to break these down. Break down these trailers.
Eli
Why you saying Avatar Way of Fire?
Xavier
That's what it's called.
Dre
Cause y' all just told me to watch the last Airbender.
Eli
We talking about the Avatar last Airbender, so.
Dre
All right.
Xavier
So now.
Dre
So did y' all bitches prank me? Y' all think I am dope to y'?
Eli
All.
Xavier
I thought it was.
Eli
Nobody brought up Avatar Way of Fire at all.
Xavier
Oh, that's what.
Eli
I raised it.
Dre
Yeah. That's why. That's why I would say. Right? That's why I was like, I've never seen the blue people Avatar movies. Everybody keeps saying, do it. I'm gonna do this in VR.
Xavier
Okay, but my bad. All right, My bad. Avatar the Last Airbender is releasing on Netflix season two. And, yeah, the trailer recently released, so I didn't watch it. So somebody else break that.
Tony
Well, go watch it.
Dre
Wait, so how the. I just sat here and watched all three trailers.
Tony
He watched the wrong one. He thought he. We're talking about Avatar. The other. The blue people. Avatar.
Dre
My head hurts so goddamn. But, hey, I love our times. Keep this in. See, y' all be thinking this. This is some real shit y' all be thinking. We just, like, be on shit. No, no, we gotta go through this. This the type of shit we gotta go through. Actually, niggas watch the wrong shit. I did.
Eli
I was 100% specific. Dre even asked, and I told him, no, Avatar, Last Airbender.
Dre
Cause that's why that' I never watched the Avatar movies. And you was like, nah, we talking about the last Airbender. And I was like, oh, turn up. Let's go.
Xavier
No, when I muted, y'. All. When I muted this. When I muted Riverside, Dre wasn't in the chat yet. So that was before then.
Dre
Yeah, my fucking brain.
Xavier
Apologies. Anyways, Supergirl trailer also released. This one, of course, is highly anticipated. It's another incarnation in James Gunn's universe.
Tony
Is this the one where you made the giddy sound?
Xavier
Yeah.
Tony
When you were watching Supergirl?
Dre
Yeah.
Xavier
Yeah.
Dre
That's what I came into. And I was like, what the hell is this?
Xavier
Yeah, because she. Because. Okay, because reason why is we always only Mostly seen the Supergirl that was on Earth. It looks like James Gunn is taking another spin on it. And we're going to see Supergirl before she came to Earth, when she was like an outlaw doing crazy stuff on different planets in space, you know, and she's also.
Eli
This ain't before she came to Earth. This is why she's on Earth.
Tony
But, yeah, she's on Earth now.
Eli
She just leaves and goes a party and goes.
Dre
She gotta go turn up universal stuff like this. Earth drugs are ass.
Eli
She still. She still. She still. She know. She know what's on Earth. She already knows Superman and all this stuff.
Xavier
This is.
Eli
This is a continuation of that.
Xavier
Okay. Yeah, but still, you know, it's still a time away from Earth. That's still. That's why I still like. I like about. I guess I was wrong in that part. But also in the trailer, it was featured a look at one of the most highly anticipated characters. Like, for years, people been wanting. Is it Lobo? Yes. Yeah. I was gonna say Jason Momoa, but Jason Momoa is playing Lobo in this movie. They said. I saw kind of a synopsis for it. They said it's supposed to be. She's supposed to be on the run. And since Lobo is a bounty hunter, I feel like he's gonna be either, like, looking for her, but I wonder who she's on the run with. Like, who. Like, somebody gonna, like, special. They gonna put it in a movie.
Tony
Well, who is the. Who is the person in the trailer? Anyone named or.
Xavier
Not really. It's just me.
Dre
I couldn't really tell. I couldn't tell who was who in it. I ain't gonna lie.
Xavier
Yeah. I mean, I.
Dre
Nobody. You know, how do that name drop? Like, oh, yeah, Dr. This and this. It's like, oh, we didn't really get that in there.
Xavier
Yeah.
Eli
The only. The only person I know for sure is Lobo and Ruthie probably. I think they look good about Ruthy.
Dre
From the comic book.
Tony
It.
Eli
I think it's probably her I read.
Dre
There, but I don't. Maybe.
Eli
That's what. That's my guess. That's my guess.
Dre
It's a good, accurate guess. It's a good, accurate guess, but I don't care. Trench coat. Goddamn Supergirl is my.
Eli
If they doing the comic book thing, then they have to have a crim in there, too.
Dre
They have to have crim.
Eli
That's the only thing that makes sense, man.
Dre
So he might.
Xavier
I don't know.
Dre
I feel like he'll pop up halfway in.
Eli
Yeah, they gotta have him in because.
Dre
It don't work like that. But I'm fucking with. I'm fucking with it. I want to see how it goes. Like, because Trench Coat Supergirl has some adventures on her. Like, she had a few adventures. That was her I'm just a girl phase.
Tony
I can't. Why? Why? I feel like Twitter is just all bots these days. Because I feel like when I. When this came up, when this trailer came up, everyone's like, D.C. bros. Did we get excited too early? Like, what?
Xavier
Just Twitter, bro. You'd be falling for Twitter. Rage bait. Twitter.
Tony
That's true. I do. If it hits me on the wrong day, bro, I'll fall for rage bait. I ain't gonna lie. I gotta close this app because I can't. I don't reply though. So there's that. But you know, but it's like, oh, you scroll past.
Dre
You're better, you know.
Eli
Else we forgot. They did a little quick tease of the lanterns too. Was already. People was on Twitter rage baiting about that too. T. So I get. I'm with you. I got rage baited too. They was on Twitter rage baiting about that. I read a couple of part like they were like, Greenland supposed to be white. I'm like, I'm done here. We go. I'm over with it. I'm done.
Xavier
We go. It's the multiple of you dumb. I hate people like that. That's the bots.
Eli
I know. They. They just started. They just started to stoke the flames and how people fight with each other.
Xavier
Because if you comic book fan, you can't be that stupid and say like, he should be. Well, you know, green is multiple Green Lanterns. Like, fuck you talking about?
Dre
That just so how uncultured people really be it.
Xavier
I was.
Eli
I was triggered, man.
Xavier
I was triggered.
Eli
Oh, and it looked like she. She powered down at some point in this movie.
Xavier
So.
Eli
Because it like she's on somewhere with a red sun or something.
Dre
Yeah. Because, you know, that was kind of her. She kind of fell into like an alcoholic stint.
Xavier
Yeah.
Eli
She had to go to places powered where she powered down and.
Dre
And that's why she be going. That's why she go to other places type shit. To actually like be like, okay, I'm over here and there's no red sun, so I'm kind of like out. But I'm still op as fuck. So I'm still strong.
Xavier
But she's still strong.
Eli
She's just not as strong as she would be on Earth.
Dre
Like invincible type shit on some shit. But she do this for the love of the game, nigga.
Eli
Like it's going to be a lot of drunk, a lot of trauma in here too. You know, she actually. She was actually. She actually remember Krypton.
Dre
She saw Krypton blow up.
Xavier
I like that.
Eli
Depend on what coming. Depend what?
Dre
Depend on the one, cuz.
Eli
She. Some of them she a child, some of them she a teenager. When Krypton gets destroyed. So we'll see where. Which way they go on this one. I'm thinking they probably gonna go teenager on this one, but we'll see.
Xavier
Yeah, cuz she. Because she said Krypton wasn't destroyed in a day. In one day. When she was a child, it was. But when she was a teenager, it was a process.
Dre
Yeah, because I remember that time like where it was like she saw. It was like she just.
Eli
She just meant it didn't explode in one day. It took time for it to get.
Dre
Yeah, it was like she saw like the downfall type on some.
Xavier
Oh, it looks like it'll be good.
Dre
I don't appreciate that there's silence, but I'm just. I'm shocked. But yeah, because I remember that one, that one when she was a teenager, like this shit like her. It all ended culminating with her getting sent out the planet with Superman.
Eli
Like she saw space.
Dre
Yeah, she saw like, oh, she is fucking up on the planet. But then when they got really bad and the planet finna go just ass up, that's when she got sent off. And that was like a good week and a half of this bad events.
Eli
So she seemed like she 23 in this no clock. Already in his 30s on earth right now he 30.
Dre
Yeah, the age and shit, because he on earth made him age faster.
Eli
Because she was stuck in space and she didn't.
Dre
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yeah. Clark was on Earth, so he aged a little bit dead. So she was just in space. So she stayed like goddamn 17 for like good damn near 10 years.
Eli
But yeah, it looked interesting.
Xavier
I.
Dre
With Supergirl though. Like I. Cause you know how it's like we got Supergirl then everybody mistake of a power girl. You know the one with the titties up. Yeah, but Supergirl, my nigga, I appreciate it. Like, I want. I want to see. I like to. I want to see if it go further. Like she earned it. She's a deserved character.
Xavier
I hope we get Power Girl, though. I like power Girl. She. She. Her. Supergirl threw some hands, bro. They threw some definite hands with each other.
Dre
We got to get like a Super unnecessarily buff bitch with big titties to be Supergirl. Like, not being misogynistic to be Power.
Xavier
Girl, nigga, Old girl would be perfect. But she got canceled. She played a Star Wars. The Star wars stuff.
Dre
Who.
Xavier
I forget her name. She's about to get her own show and everything, but it got canceled because she said.
Tony
Oh, the. The wrestler.
Dre
Oh, the girl from the. Man, the girl from the Mandalorian.
Tony
Oh, ufc.
Xavier
I think it's Cat Zagano.
Dre
Yeah, she was in the Mandalorian. The buff girl that was fighting the Mandalorian. And that's actually.
Xavier
She probably would have been perfect if she hadn't got canceled.
Dre
She did get super canceled, but we in Trump in there America now, boy.
Xavier
She can make a comeback.
Dre
She can come back because she sued Disney for this shit in one.
Tony
Really?
Dre
Yeah. When she made the, like, super, like, them tweets and they fired her for this year, she sued for this. She caring the fuck out.
Xavier
And moving on. We have the next trailer, which was Street Fighter. Well, it wasn't a really full trailer. It was a teaser, which was freaking badass. That. That. That one wrote me, and I can't wait to see that. What about what y' all would. Y'. All.
Tony
They're leaning full in campy over the.
Dre
I was about.
Tony
And I am all for it, dude. I am there. I don't care what anyone says. It did not need to be a serious movie, and it's not going to be. And I am so for that, and.
Dre
I did not want it to be at all. And that's why I appreciate it, because it was like, this was. It was a nice little. Okay, I see. Because, you know, everybody's looking like y' all got Roman Reigns as a kuma.
Tony
But then you start them in the trailer, I don't think. Well, they showed, like, a glimpse.
Dre
Yeah, yeah. But then it's like you saw Cody Rhodes's gal, and I'm like, okay, I see what we doing. No, he's. He. Paul. No, he. What's the nigga with the pink?
Tony
Dan.
Xavier
He.
Dre
Yeah, he's Dan.
Tony
Yeah, Dan Hibinki.
Dre
Like he said. Oh, my bad. I never knew Dan last name. Yeah, who the fuck plays Dan? Exactly. But I appreciate y' all got a comedy nigga playing a joke character.
Xavier
Yeah. Because he's fun. It's perfect.
Dre
It works. It makes sense.
Tony
But I thought the review at the. At the Game Awards is hilarious because they all came out and he's like, see, we all care about you. All the actors are There.
Dre
Yeah.
Tony
Like we now just to show you how much, you know, these game adaptations care about you, we. We have the stars of Mortal Kombat 2 come out and nobody. And then nobody showed up. He's like, yeah, I'm just kidding. They don't care about you. They only care about the money.
Dre
Money.
Tony
We care about you and the money. That's why we're here.
Xavier
That's.
Tony
Oh, that's hilarious.
Dre
And that's why I appreciated that that was funny.
Xavier
That seems like it's gonna be.
Tony
It looks like it's gonna have good action. Yeah, yeah. When they did all for it, he.
Xavier
Had three old dude, what's his name kicked him. I was like, oh shit. That's.
Dre
It's like they gotta. It's like with street. You know how Mortal Kombat you got. It's like with Mortal Kombat you gotta lean into the gore of it. With Street Fighter, if you just lean into the campy ignorance of Street Fighter, you won. Especially like y' all know how I was talking about Street Fighter 6 highs just like you in a city like the way Street Fighter set up now is perfect to win. You just got not it up and I'm with it.
Tony
I was. I think. I don't really have a problem with any of the people except for Ken. I don't think he fits his Ken. I'll put it in discord so you can see who. I don't. I don't think that's good Ken. Like am I, am I wrong?
Dre
Hold up, hold up, hold up. Damn disco.
Tony
Are you taking field?
Xavier
I can see why you would say that.
Dre
Yeah, yeah. I don't see it.
Tony
They didn't even see it. I don't. Yeah, I don't know. This is, this is me. But that's the all. I think that's the only little nitpick for casting.
Dre
This might. This might be the German in me a little bit, but nah. Ken is a blonde hair, blue eyed man from America. Yeah, that no kung fu. And I don't see it with him. They went for that super stylized look.
Tony
Well, so how, how, how well do you think 50 cents going to do his action scenes?
Dre
Bruh, I've been she, bro. We was talking about this shout out to like the Shreveport Nigga PlayStation group chat. But bro, we was talking about this shit the other day and it was like. I mean 50 Cent done did action movies. So I feel if, if he done took good, he got the money for good enough boxers type shit, you know what I mean? To just. You Know, show him how to look good. And if you just do that with ball rock, I mean it's doable. I mean he. If he was a real. He would have just like hired Mike Tyson. Because everybody know that's who Balrog is based off of. Balrog is Mike Tyson type. So I don't know.
Tony
I don't know. I think Mike Tyson might throw too many real punches.
Dre
That was the point. That was ballroom. That's why he said, I need to chill. Then he around ran in the ed and was like, you know what? That hit hard Earth. I'm gonna just show him how to.
Tony
Do 50 Cent hasn't done a movie since 2013, right?
Dre
No, no. When Din of Thieves came out.
Xavier
Yeah, he did dinner these like the last year.
Dre
Yeah, that was like a while. I think he was maybe.
Tony
Maybe I gotta like, like do his name. Not fit and put 50 Cent. That's probably what it is.
Xavier
He's been in TV because he's been on the shows.
Tony
I was wanting to see something action or.
Dre
Yeah, he really did like. No, like super. Like he got a scene where he's just doing like some just super action shit. But he finished it.
Xavier
Okay.
Dre
He didn't got the studio in Shreveport.
Xavier
I thought they did some of the film industry report.
Dre
Nah, he didn't bought us. He. He bought one of the studio things.
Tony
Okay. I found.
Dre
Yeah, like that's his like all like he doing the Tyler Perry thing.
Xavier
Street fighter comes out October 2026. Supergirl June 2026. Up next, we have the highly anticipated second season of. Should we go to a break first?
Tony
No.
Xavier
Okay, we got the highly anticipated second season of Avatar the Last Airbender this season featuring one of my favorite freaking characters. Toph is going to be in this one. It's going to be concluding the Avatar story from the cartoon with the live action. Dude did get older. I didn't know he had got that tall. He got. He got a lot.
Tony
Yeah, that's what I was telling Eli. You know, they have to film fast. This dude already looking 30.
Dre
Puberty hitting down it.
Tony
He is. He's going to age young.
Xavier
He's just tall, like super tall.
Tony
He's going to start growing facial hair by season four.
Dre
The minute he get a beard, they got to do a time jump and just make him old man Aang.
Xavier
So what are your thoughts on the trailer? What do y' all anticipate? What do y' all can't wait to see for the season?
Tony
Ah, let's see. This is the Earth Kingdom, right?
Dre
Right.
Xavier
Bossing se. There's no. There's no corruption in Ba Sing. Separate.
Tony
There's no war in Ba Sing, SE.
Dre
9 11. Did not happen in Boston. Say, nigga, we don't know what you're talking about.
Tony
I'm. I'm interested to see Toph because Toph's cool as hell. Original metal bender right there. That happens in season two, right?
Eli
Yeah.
Tony
Where she breaks out of the cage. Yeah.
Dre
And she didn't even know she was metal banding.
Tony
Yeah.
Dre
She was like, hey, I found. I found all the rocks in this goddamn metal. I'm finna do it. I think I can do it.
Xavier
She pulled it open, ripped it open like, ah, the greatest earthbender alive. Yes, you are.
Dre
Y' all didn't fucked up AA run and she can't see shit.
Xavier
Yeah, that's kind of cool.
Dre
She just felt it in her soul, like, I'm that nigga.
Xavier
That's one of the cool things I thought the legend of Coral revealed about her because, like, she can, like, feel people through the earth. That's how events. Her bending is. Like, she can feel people emotions and shit through the earth.
Dre
Like, when she did the. Hey, she top is the true definition of. I'm feeling the vibes, cuz. She's literally feeling the vibrations.
Xavier
I wonder if they're gonna make her and Qatar arch nemesis like they did in the show.
Dre
They did have a little. They did have a spat till they got cool.
Xavier
Uhhuh. Guitar used to be going in like, this girl blind. You making fun of her being blonde. That's some terrible shit.
Tony
They did pretty. I think they did pretty good on the first season of sticking to, like, a lot of the plot points like that.
Xavier
Yeah.
Tony
But it has been a while. When did the first season come out?
Dre
That was like, what, two years? Yeah, two years.
Xavier
Film industry getting lazy, bro. That's one thing that's getting on. They're getting lazy. It shouldn't take two years to make a TV show and you only make it eight episodes. Whereas back in the day, you used to get 20, 30 episodes in one year. How. Like, how did. Where's the change come from?
Tony
Production probably like, CGI technology getting better, bro.
Dre
They need to figure out.
Tony
It still takes a. It still takes a long time to do cgi, though.
Xavier
Figure it out. I'm on my high horse, looking down. Figure it out. But yeah, yeah. Eli, what's your stocks?
Dre
Then they go in.
Eli
I'm interested. I'm ready. I just hope they do some. A couple of new storylines. I just don't want to see 100% remake of the cartoon? Because I just go watch the cartoon. I'm just being honest. I just really know. Just make some new stuff happen a little bit.
Xavier
New stuff.
Eli
Cartoon season two was kind of slow at the beginning. The Earth story was kind of slow at the beginning, but it picked up.
Dre
But this like Netflix. So it's like they usually do like a 10, like 10 episode run.
Eli
Yeah, 10 or eight episodes.
Dre
One of them, yeah. Netflix do like the 10, 10 run. So I'm just disappointed.
Eli
I'm disappointed. I'm tired of waiting two years for everything to come out.
Dre
You ain't lying. You're not lying.
Eli
Our life's not that long, man. We ain't gonna get to finish any series by the time, by the time I turn 60, everything gonna be still on. You have 30 year old.
Dre
If we get, if we get Elder Scrolls 6 and we still record and we still doing this podcast, I'm okay with myself. I can die happy. But it's like, I don't know, it's like, because they kind of did all like the super like main points. So now it's like, you know how it's the second season, they got to just do like the explanations of shit. Like this is the character development stage. So I want to see how they gonna actually just go in depth with all the characters after. Because they didn't went through a goddamn me crisis.
Xavier
Maybe show a more in depth look at how bossing, say got overrun. Didn't they get overrun like releasing next year on Netflix? Well, we gotta go to a quick break, but when we come back, the dojo after this.

Tony
Dojo Master the Game Awards. Finally. Finally happened. We got it happened. Exactly. You know what we called Claire Obscure Expedition 33. It's well won the whole show. Not we did. They won nine out of 13 nominations.
Dre
I won hundred dollars what I bet.
Tony
Who bet against you?
Dre
A few people. I made 300 last week because I Was like, hey, Claire Skier is sweeping at the game boys. And it was like, no, it ain't cool. And I'm like, have you ever had a croissant? You know, I need this money. It. Let's go. Because I bet. I bet they was going to win five. Day one nine. I made my money.
Tony
I literally just had this open. Oh my God. All right, so we'll. We'll knock. We'll knock that one out first.
Dre
I'm dead.
Tony
Because we're gonna say all the ones that they won, right? So they. Like I said, they won nine of the 13. They won best independent game, best debut indie game, best art direction, best score of music. Definitely deserved. Best narrative.
Dre
Deserved Devil.
Tony
Best game direction, best performance. Which was. It's kind of funny. There were three of the five nominations were from Claire Obscure. Charlie Cox wasn't there. How dare he. But she. Jennifer English won. She played Maelle. And then they also won obviously the big one game of the year. To no one's surprise.
Xavier
That's what I say.
Dre
Like at. You're like nah, y', all, y'. All. You gotta. You gotta acknowledge the other countries when they come out with because after the black myth Wukong disaster, y' all had to. You. You got. Nah be honest with your sweeps.
Tony
Did you know I. I just learned this. Did you know that Genshin Impact has in game rewards for voting for them in the player's choice? Did they? Yeah, this would. I mean I don't play the game so I. Yeah, I mean it can't. I can't confirm this with 100% but I've seen on the Twitter sphere classic gotcha game logic that they have rewards if you go and vote for them in the player's choice. And that is why Genshin won.
Dre
I wouldn't be surprised. Would not be surprised because oh, she woodland raised did win you. Now that you say that.
Tony
Oh wait. Weathering waves. That's what I meant to say. My bad. Yeah, yeah. Same thing. Same thing how the mobile gamer is jumping me.
Dre
It's all the same people.
Tony
They're all the same. My God. Arc Raiders won best multiplayer and big deserved there they aren't the best ongoing game went to no Man's sky, which.
Dre
Is like that one. That one was a wild card. But I was like, I do respect it.
Tony
Best audio design went to battlefield 6. I'd agree. Best action game went to Hades 2.
Dre
They paid for it.
Tony
I think they did. They paid for that. I'm not gonna lie. I. I don't think 82s should have beat out Ninja Garden 4. Because I think Ninja Garden 4 was way better.
Dre
It's just like one of them, like haters who needed one just say they did it.
Tony
They did. Fun. Funniest thing. Best action adventure game was won by Hollow Knight. And Team Cherry was so convinced they weren't going to win anything that they didn't show up to the game awards.
Dre
Right.
Tony
Because just for reference in that category, Death Stranding 2, Ghost of Yote, Indiana Jones and Split Fiction. I'm not gonna lie. I didn't think Hollow Knight was.
Dre
They already. They called it a day with that one. Like, we already know we not winning that one.
Tony
Yeah. So they didn't show up to collect their award. Oh, that was so awkward.
Dre
Now we was just doing this for us and y' all just came out with heavy hairs.
Tony
Best family game, Donkey Kong Bonanza.
Dre
They beat they paid.
Tony
Is that a family game? I mean, again, I. I don't know.
Dre
I. I said. I said it last time when you did this. They paid for that one.
Tony
I just feel like when you think of a family game, it's supposed to be a game you play with your family. So then this supposed to be a multiplayer or. Am I tripping? Am I. Am I wrong there?
Dre
No. Yeah, you are. I'm not going to lie. Why? When I think like a family, guys, like, it's like a family games and party games are kind of the same.
Tony
You know what? That's probably. I'm confusing those two party games.
Dre
Like, yes, a good Mario party, that's a good family game. But that's if we all drunk as hell and we got enough controls. Fuck. It was Mario Party. You know, it's like one of them type of games.
Tony
My thing is, why was Split Fiction under best family game?
Dre
Don't.
Tony
I don't.
Dre
Right. It's a weird one.
Tony
Best fighting game went to Fatal Fury.
Dre
I did see that. And I was like, that is the only one came out this year that was worth it.
Tony
Because I don't 2x ko is on this list.
Dre
It's still. It's exactly. Because it's still in like this beta.
Tony
It's not out. Yeah. I thought we don't put early access games on the game awards.
Dre
See what I mean?
Tony
That's why Hades 2 wasn't there last year or the year before. Whenever. Whenever. That.
Dre
Exactly. And that's why this is weird. Like, I don't like how they do. It's. It's awkward how they do the cast.
Tony
Is it because nothing else came out? Was there? No. Like Fifth game and they're like, well, we need something to put on there also.
Dre
Low key. That too.
Tony
No way. I mean there's no way.
Dre
Ain't much. The only like main line was Fatal Fury and Virtual Fighter. The new one.
Tony
Yo, the FGC is starving for games. They have Cop Capcom Fighting Collection two on here. That's just a remake, a remaster of all the old games.
Dre
Because you know Token, you still invitation only.
Tony
Yeah, I think next year, next year is going to be good for FGC because there's Tokon, there's the Invincible game, there's Avatar. Wait, is that it?
Xavier
That's it.
Tony
Okay, never mind. That's three games. I mean three games is good for a year.
Dre
And two, SKO might finally go like gold type and be a full game.
Tony
Man. I. I've just heard a bunch of they're losing steam quick. If they've not already lost it.
Dre
Because it's like they haven't balanced it yet. It's like. Okay, I get it. But that's why when I was telling you it's the werewolf and in the Samurai, they need to get nerfed bad.
Tony
Well, it is an early access. So speaking. Well, not speaking of but reference to mobile gamers best mobile game was won by Uma Musume. Pretty derby. Which I think is those horse girls, right?
Dre
Is that the race? The racing girls?
Tony
Yeah.
Dre
Yes, that. That's exactly one. And I was like, you know what? That's the only game I've heard of mobile wise. They earned it.
Tony
Oh, I missed an award for Clare Obscure Best rpg.
Dre
I knew that one. I knew that one. That's a given.
Tony
Best sports racing game went to Mario Kart World. To the surprise of literally nobody.
Dre
I still gotta run it. I said I gotta go and get a switch to and just say pay food.
Tony
Oh wait, hold on. This was paid 100%. Rematch was on here. That should have won. Ain't no way that beat Mario Kart. Rematch.
Dre
How is rematch? Because everybody telling me I gotta have. I need to play rematch.
Tony
You should. It is. It is really. If you like soccer and you like it not being too crazy like, like FIFA or anything and it being really over the top.
Dre
Imagine NFL. I mean the soccer. You know how NFL street is like that.
Tony
Yes.
Dre
Okay.
Tony
It's a lot more in depth than you think too is. I really enjoyed playing Rematch. I put a good like almost 100 hours into that game.
Dre
I've never been a soccer nigger, but like I appreciate soccer.
Tony
I had to dig in my roots, you know, to play some Food the bowl. All right. Best strategy in sim game, Final Fantasy Tactics. The Ivilist Chronicles did not play this. It beat out Civ 7, Jurassic World, Evolution 3, the Altars, Tempest Rising and Two Point Museum.
Dre
I would say they might have paid for that oversee of seven. But from what everybody tell me with like Chronicles is like they finally fixed everything that was fucked up with Final Fantasy.
Tony
They brought back a good tactics game, right?
Dre
This is that like we finally got another good Final Fantasy Tactics game.
Tony
Then we have best adaptation. The Last of Us season two won that. It beat out a Minecraft movie. Devil May Cry, Splinter Cell, Death Watch, and Until Dawn. Until dawn shouldn't have been here. I'm just gonna be honest. Wait, I know we talked about it, but it just. I wish that movie would just disappear from my brain. I hate that I watched it. I tried to give it a chance. I just, I.
Xavier
There's no way they beat out the Minecraft movie.
Tony
I still haven't seen that movie.
Dre
It's pretty good movie.
Xavier
Yeah, it's a decent movie, I'm not gonna lie.
Tony
You think? Okay, well then you have. Okay, you can speak on this because. Do you think the Last of Us Season two was better than Minecraft?
Dre
No, it was good.
Xavier
I ain't gonna say. I ain't gonna lie. Last season two was good.
Dre
Well, I appreciate it what they did, but you know how it's like, you know how the Super Mario movie hit because it was like we not we go acknowledge all the other shit, but we going to do our own shit. That's how the Minecraft movie was.
Xavier
And I know nothing about Minecraft. And that movie kept me interested. I enjoyed it.
Tony
I mean you knew nothing about the Last of Us either. So I would say that's pretty good.
Xavier
I know.
Dre
Yeah, it do that where like if you don't know shit about the game universe, but it's still an overall good movie. Yeah, it works. But at the same time, if you've played the games, you can't complain about nothing that's going on.
Tony
I mean, I vote for Devil May Cry because I didn't like the changes.
Xavier
Yeah, I like Devil May Cry. The anime.
Tony
Yeah.
Xavier
Nah, I like the anime. It wasn't that bad. I know nothing about Devil May Cry.
Tony
So that's one of those where I didn't, I just didn't like the changes. I don't like. I'm not gonna get into hours.
Dre
The show runner it up for me automatically.
Tony
Tr yeah, he's. He's a. He's a piece of work that Guy can't do it. I can't. I. Like, he's.
Dre
God. The minute he was like. He thought he was bringing back a dead franchise, I was like. And then he was like, I never played devil may cry 5. How the. You thought it was. Ah, punchy. Yeah, Yeah.
Tony
I can't. I. Anyway, before I get mad. Best community support. Baldur's Gate 3. They managed to sneak in another one.
Dre
We go, hey, we won game of the year. And guess what? We still doing. I still gotta run it.
Tony
God, yeah. That.
Dre
I gotta do it for you, Tony. That's what I got. I'm just saying. I gotta get bottles. Gate three, just for Tony.
Tony
Best esports game for the 50th year in a row. Counter strike two. Somehow it's. It wins. I don't know, bro. I swear.
Dre
Don't know how Counter Strike is still making money, but they do it.
Tony
Loot boxes, weapon chat, weapon skins.
Dre
Skins. I'm sure I say it's the skins.
Tony
That's how they make money. And they're still going, oh, God, how. How are we still playing? This game is older than a lot of the gamers that play it.
Dre
Counter Strike is as old as Valve.
Tony
Well, that's the first one. This is Counter Strike two, which is technically Counter Strike one just reskinned.
Dre
Exactly.
Tony
They.
Dre
What's the difference?
Tony
I forgot. Yeah, they did this whole thing where.
Dre
It ain't even counter strike two. It's counter strike 2.0.
Tony
Yeah, that's what I was gonna say. It's technically still Counter Strike. The first one, they just did the engine upgrade and they did. Yeah. That's crazy.
Dre
It's weird, bro.
Tony
Counter Strike 2 team won best esports team as well. And Content Creator of the year kind of was not expected. Nobody, I think, expected this because even Moist Critical was not at this show because the peanut. No, that was. That's the streamer awards. Yeah, that was. Content creator of the year was between Moist critical, Cage Rule Kaisen at Sakura Miko and the burnt peanut and moist critical one.
Dre
Oh, shit. And he wasn't there.
Tony
He was streaming it when he was streaming it. Yeah. The reaction is so funny because he's like, please don't let it be me. Please don't let it be me. Which that's hilarious. But I'm not gonna lie. I think Kai got kind of robbed here.
Dre
He did numbers wise, like, I mean, like, because moist kind of.
Tony
Yeah. I love my credit.
Dre
He do his noise. Like. Yeah, I. I love him. His numbers are consistent, but when you pull off, like, imaginative Numbers for events. That's where Kai won, you know what I'm saying? Like with the stream of thumbs and my. With it.
Tony
Yeah, that's what I mean. Like, Kai is doing a lot of like events and stuff like that and I don't even really watch him, but I hear about that stuff all the time and I think that's there, you know, there's some worth in that because most critical I. I actually do on occasion watch him, but I barely hear anything he's doing right. But I am just. Full disclosure, I am not in the streamer news sphere. So I don't know what if he what or if he's been doing anything this year.
Dre
He been pulling. Yeah, he pull out like he done broke. He's the most subscribed on Twitch and the streaming thumb broke a record for most viewers type shit. Yeah, he didn't need a couple. Like that's why I'd be like. When they don't acknowledge him for shit's like damn, that's kind of money. You know, I'd be like, damn, that's your one of your top view. But y' all don't really give him nothing.
Tony
True.
Dre
One of them moments.
Tony
And then to wrap it up, we have most anticipated game GTA 6. But I man, it's.
Dre
It's never gonna happen.
Xavier
This is like a third time winning this.
Dre
Yeah, damn near. It is damn near.
Tony
But I'll be honest, I saw that rockstar or take two recently sacked like 30 something employees because they. And they're currently being sued by the way because apparently these 30 something employees were in the talks of making a union or forming a union within the company because of how. How they've all been treated during the development and then they magically get fired. Okay, yeah. So Rockstar man, like what are you doing? But I'm not surprised, dude, the guy, the owner of Take two is really a trash person.
Xavier
But is he really? Hey, owner Take two. Come on the Trap Nurse podcast. Let's really see if you're a trash person person.
Tony
But yeah, I don't think there were no like huge upsets. I think here we had some like. Yeah, I think this was pretty expected. Claire Obscure swept. Like we thought shout out to Flute Guy deserved. Oh yeah, true Shout out to Flute Guy Consistent. Every year he played a PVC pipe.
Dre
Bro. You saw that when he pulled out the kazoo. I died.
Tony
Yeah, that was.
Xavier
That was cinema Blooming Group walk so he can run.
Dre
I feel like he been doing this before. Blue Man Group son.
Xavier
How dare you. Blue man group was the blueprint. No pun intended. Pun intended.
Dre
Because Fluke guy been consistent. Every time there's a game awards, and they had an orchestra, Fluke guy gonna be there, and he gonna pull out, like, six different flutes.
Tony
But that's it, man. We're done. We're done with the game awards all wrapped up. I mean, like, we had a bunch of reveals, but I'm. I'm. I wasn't feeling anything. I'm be honest.
Dre
We'll talk about it next week. Because it was. Yeah, yeah, I will say, like, none of the, like, the reveals kind of just hit me this year.
Tony
I like how mega the Mega man reveal brought out a whole orchestra, though. That was pretty cool.
Dre
I do appreciate that because it was like none of them just caught my eye. Like. Like none of the reveals this year was some I've been waiting for, but it's some. It's something that I'll be looking forward to that, like, made me buy it. You know what I mean?
Tony
Yeah, but we got a rap, so can't really get too much into that, unfortunately.
Xavier
All right, freestyle. You said we got a rap? Yes. No, no. Live in the song. Bask in awkward silence. Let the darkness flow through you. We reached the end to another excited episode of the Trap Nerds podcast. Go ahead and sign off, Drake.
