I appreciate you guys My man my with the sub I appreciate it. Thank you a year straight man in the off season in the slow season in The regular season and the post season we have done the needed podcast to talk about man And it's crazy that you guys have been in here Supporting it been watching on YouTube and listening to it on SoundCloud if you do that man All them links are below on YouTube man You don't watch this live on Tuesdays that link is below twitch.tv slash dub dot it is club It is club week club week is I believe it's over 500 people in the tournament Which is nuts and I hope some of my viewers here in chat or YouTube you guys are in the tournament And let me know chat if you're in here now Is there anybody that's in the club series tournament is ready to play some games this week Let me know if you're in the tournament and you guys are playing because I am in the club series Um, I am in the Eagles club series. Shout out Eric. We whether in the chat with the sub I appreciate it man. Let me know if you guys are playing man because I know you everybody's preparing everybody's getting ready Everybody's uh, these are the some of the some guys want to play the biggest games of their lives You know, and it's a little bit different than playing mud head to head seasons a little bit different than playing the leaderboards it's a little bit different than playing your friend at home and um, Honestly to you guys um, I would say if someone asked me I'm probably about a 80 overall and man right now Don't feel the best don't feel the greatest, but I'm smart enough and I'll tell you when the bright lights come on Things get different little Johnny doesn't like the bright lights. He doesn't like the bright lights. You know I'm saying so to me This is when I thrive You know saying to my whole goal in the last couple days in the last week make sure I'm just playing solid Playing good playing ready to go But we're gonna talk more about this man And we're gonna talk about all the clubs that are coming up in a while But the other big news chat the other big news is That EA dropped the patch this week now I will We'll talk about that but The first thing they put out is a new ability they put out a bunch of new abilities Most of them stopped in the run and chat you guys can help me out. Did you try the run Kems? Did you try? Any of these things to stop the run and I'll be honest. I tried Aaron Donald The three million coin card he is now gone off of my team Not because he wasn't good, but more because he wasn't worth three million coins I don't think anybody in his game is worth three million coins. Maybe Michael Vick. Maybe Randy Moss, but um To me I Didn't really like any inner run Kems or the one that I use was inside zone stuffer and run stuffer with Aaron Donald Didn't really notice it all the way Didn't notice anything crazy With it, so I don't know if you guys like any inner run Kems that they put in the game to stop the run Maybe discurs people from running the ball a little bit more, but the main thing they put in the game And if you guys have been around you definitely have heard of this chem that they put in the game that it It's called most Now chat have you guys been most or used most that's what I asked you Have you been most or use most now?  It was pretty balanced If you had it it was awesome because if you saw you had one on one that was a catch defensively If I saw a damn I gave up double me it was the easiest counter in the world just put two people on that guy It sucked it made your defense weak because now you have put two people on in one receiver, which I mean It's football when you have Julio Jones when you have the Andre Hopkins You know you put sometimes you got a double cover those guys because they're that good That's why the chem is called double me, but they had a great counter. It was an easy counter Just double him he can't catch it you leave him one on one Yeah, he was gonna motion that simple as that and that made sense because one It wasn't overpowered to it was easy to stop three. It was pretty cool if you're on offense It gave you a huge advantage knowing that it's when you snap the ball. It's boom if he's not doubled I'm throwing the ball up. That's it and then other than that it hurts the defense makes offense easy, right? So I feel like this Double me was cool But these guys at EA said, you know what? We're not cooking with enough gas We're gonna take double me and Just just put some steroids in it and make it so this player catches the ball no matter what No matter what 11 people 13 people three people in the coach the mascot The popcorn vendor everybody in the stadium can be on this receiver and he will catch the ball It was to the point with some of the clips I saw a chat where you couldn't see the receiver and it would just say touchdown Literally, there were that many people on the receiver That you couldn't see him, but he still caught a touchdown now picture that Literally could not see the receiver somehow still catches a touchdown now What's crazy to me is this ability came out and and Madden guys tested it within a half hour Cuz it's not hard to go Let's go see what this is about get on there with your buddy daughter ball to him get a couple 20 yard catches bang now All of a sudden I'm blinking. Let's see what he got. You know saying that's what you say Let's see what he got so within the first 10 minutes somebody tested Wow He really catches this on 11 people so to me the people at EA they have Xboxes, right? I hope they have Xboxes so they could have plugged it. They did plug their Xboxes up Right. They plugged the Xboxes up and They played each other they do the ball up. They said damn.  So to me that it's Unfathomable that that really happened like seriously like And and when it goes to that what is their goal when making a game seriously What is the and and I said a comment like this that superstar knockout is the is the future of Madden, you know so to me Yeah, that's rough it definitely was pretty rough. I don't know if it's fireable I don't know if that's the right call then I mean I just feel like that's what they want as a group Not necessarily the people you know in EA not even necessarily Clint You know cuz I don't think I know Clint personally like I spent a lot of time with Clint a lot of conversations And I don't think this is something that he wants But ultimately he has a boss you have a boss, you know Santa Claus has a boss, you know It's it's everybody has a boss. So there's always somebody and they have to answer to you know So for me shout to my man fucks with 300 With these sub man too much freak I appreciate you but everybody has a boss right No, I and and they bet the thing they did it's just like It wouldn't take what did they think was gonna be the outcome Is there anybody that says oh, let me play man now because I can catch the moss ability You know, let me get off a fortnight. Let me get off a call duty. Let me get off a 2k I want to play man now because I have the moss ability if Anything I feel like that lost people like it's people like damn I just got moss. Let me go hop on fortnight. Let me stop playing mad and go play something else So for me, I really think that it was nuts. Honestly Yeah, it would be dope if most I think most I don't think they should have got rid of it and I could really see Some people using it. I think it definitely is leave a lethal thing really honestly But everybody has a boss so I don't think this is like Clint's idea You know, I don't know whose idea was to catch the ball on that many people, but it just it just goes to what is the I Think it just shows what a disconnect EA has from us the big consumers from us The ones that play the game all day from us the ones that continually play the game No matter what and for us the ones that try to give them feedback on what we want, you know Um So definitely rough But that's how I feel about moss it's not really about the ability stupid it's pretty much just shows you who's Making the decisions who's in not in who's in charge and what their idea of good manners What their idea to try to get mad and more popular is you know because ultimately listen It's a business. So they want people playing the game. So to me It's like ultimately they when they choose to put stuff in this that's their go That's their thought that will make people play the game more now They came out with this new superstar knockout mode, which I'll be honest with you guys chat and I don't know how you feel It's pretty cool. Not terrible. I've had fun playing superstar knockout I've had fun playing superstar knockout with a bunch of different people now. You guys comment like or not Easy way to make that mode more popular. It's an easy way To give people more rewards. I will tell you it's 200 people in the chat 180 would play superstar knockout if they gave us even the same rewards that they give house rules Doesn't have to be crazy. Give me a net 90 give me a net this guy or give me You know 10,000 training for playing 20 games and knockout or something like that chat Am I wrong when I say how could they drop the ball on making that mode more popular? Just by giving people better rewards because they put the mode in the game.  They put these celebrities in the game and it's pretty fun. I have no problem with the mode It's a relaxing break from stressful high, you know high-level men and trying to play every game serious It's definitely a break now So if they say this is gonna be fun get us all playing a mode You know, I think as far as them putting moss How could you think putting moss in the game would help us play the game and it'd be more excited to play the game Rather just give us give us better rewards to play the new game mode that y'all works hard spent a lot of money You know DJ Khaled not in the game for free Snoop Dogg's not in the game for free You know, so they spent a lot of money They built this new game mode a lot of creativity into this game mode get us all playing it That's such a better angle to make the game more popular and then Putting moss into the game, you know, the moss is nuts and I'll be surprised that it makes it to the next patch but we talk about the patches and the patch was this week and I want to ask you guys. What did you notice about the past now the number one thing?  Thank you.   That's your number one concern protectable.  I think that's completely a good thing, man You know and I would love to see the next man event have everybody go outside and run like this and see what happens You know, I think it'd be a great entertaining piece that they can put together. I think that'd be dope No, I don't I don't think it should be fast There's so many things you can do to not fumble what I mean are holding our being running that fast Shouldn't be one of them. Yeah, I think hey listen all 32 listen all 32 club series winners We should line them up on a football field, you know myself and some others included might have a hard time running at 100 yards I'm saying but we won't try and I'll just hold like this and run like this. You know saying and see what happens, but um Decadent with the sub thank you man through my streak. I appreciate if you guys are listening this man You can watch these live twitch.tv slash dub that that link is below in the chat, but um That the rb thing so what the rb thing did ultimately it pretty much It pretty much took it pretty much what you call it It took away heavy panther because what heavy panther was snap hold our being run So that offense probably the bummiest offense. I don't even want to compare Heavy panther to any type of stretch or any type of dive or any type of run. It's not even close It's not even comparable Heavy panther the other type of runs and everything like that So I Think getting rid of heavy panther is always a good thing I mean and I saw a lot of people comment most people most people that were heavy panthers We'll shout out to my man King heavy panther expert King was so distraught on the patch that he cut off his dreads Now listen, I'm not a dread expert, but I am a hair expert even though I don't have any hair You guys have been here when I've talked about hair and I'll be honest. I have some pretty goddamn good opinions, right?  They were kind of just right here right chat They not even they might have been right here So that means he had halfway commitment because really when you say I'm gonna get dreads You want to have dreads like you want to have a ponytail full of them right chat now?  You want to have dreads So when King went to go get dreads, right? Chat now look he said, you know what I'm the underrated King I'm gonna have dreads eventually when I'm when I get old enough. I'm gonna have some long-ass dreads That was his goal Right That's the goal when you say I'm gonna get dreads and you go commit it.  I'm just gonna grow. You know saying That's that's what it's gonna be It's just gonna grow. Oh, listen y'all could Donnie I will show pictures of me in high school for sure.  I feel like it needs to be you know Take care of it.  You know saying But let's go back to dreads, right? So the underrated King committed to the dreads. I'm getting dreads This is a long haul chat the dreads might be a three or five six seven year experience They patched they patched Heavy Panthers so bad that the underrated King said I'm done. He had enough he cut them Jones off He gave up the commitment Like he was that lost with the heavy panther getting patched that he gave it all up and just And posted them Jones Now he's Samson. That's who he is now. He's Samson lost heavy panther lost his dreads He is Samson without his hair That is the underrated King right now and I can't wait to watch him play clubs to see what the hell he's out They're doing but anyway, that was the main thing with the patch was the The patch and RB and the run the new run stopping abilities I don't know if you guys use them for me. It's tough to use the run stopping abilities. I think I'd rather use Abilities that affect every part of your defense. So I talk about run stopping abilities. Yeah, that's gonna stop the run But what if they pass 80% of time? Where have you get an enforcer a secure tackler? Those things work on every play You know, it's not just one way or the other. So I think So I think for me if I was picking my three Abilities which by the way chat, I think it's time we go to five abilities on each side of the ball That's how I feel five abilities Cuz it's to the point with the game That if you don't have ability you can't do anything You can't juke without an ability. You can't chuck without an ability. You can't scramble without an ability You can't catch picks without an ability. You can't pass rush without an ability. You can't have without an ability Let me put fire. You know what? Let me put 11 on but let's just go and say let's just get abilities. I'm saying You know what I'm saying? Like let's just go Full team full of abilities and let's see how it works, you know at least and chat Let me tell you what is at least play one week in league with all abilities. Would that not be fun? What is the downside for one week in league all abilities active would it not be fun? What's the downside? You're saying one week in league not every week in league one week in league. Why not? I Don't think three is plenty. I think three on offense is plenty. Why not put five on defense, man? Don't donnie. This is the thing. It sounds good and I think it'd be cool I think Donnie and you tell me you could bring this to the EA people shot to come as Donnie Donnie more of the Statistician God at EA. I'll tell you Donnie Could they do this all abilities active? Why would it not be fun? How about all right? How about this at least house rules all abilities active two minute quarters? Let's get it. You know Sam That wouldn't be bad House rules two minute quarters all abilities active Let's go rock. Yeah, but I can have four jukeboxes. I Can have all you don't need what pass rush comes I can have all my offensive line with secure pass blocker or so whatever the hell pass block the offensive line can have I Can have escape artists. I got route comes on three wire receivers. I can have jukebox on two running backs I think dude it'd be it'd be OD tough But anyway, that's just talking about the run-stopping abilities and the patch added these run-stopping abilities chat now Dda my guy how you're making out But this is what I asked this is what I asked But it goes back to if we have three abilities if I'm on mutt which most of you guys play mutt respect I'm a mutt man myself. I still have 1500 games to play this year I'm only around 400 or I owe all you guys a hundred dollars each. So I have a lot more play big country. What's up now? What I'm gonna tell you guys is if I had my choice we play mutt in the three Defensibilities I wouldn't pick a run-stopping ability now you have players like Aaron Donald who have power specialists past rushing and run-stopping yet That's good, but for me. I'm gonna have in a defensive ability that affects every play on defense You know whether it be secure tackler enforcer or some type of power specialist or secure tackler Or you know tackle supreme something that affects every single Every single play on defense not just the run plays, but that like I said Is there anything else you guys notice from the patch? I said RB was the biggest thing Haven't really noticed what else and we've gone into a part of the year where things change, you know randomly You know, we'll be one one part of the day or one part of the string or a patch We'll say one thing then the all sudden it's a different, you know Something else is wrong with the game like we talked about last week or two weeks ago with the with the right all sudden deep route running is gone, you know, but I Feel like the computer don't I feel like what's crazy to me I feel like nobody hitch sticks at all anymore. Unless you haven't forced her You know, I That's it Chat and you guys can't you guys can talk to me Do you get his sticks?  I really don't get a hit stick It was part of reason why man. I used to love Willis Shazir I used to love obviously there's new Ray Lewis, but without enforcer I feel like they not just hitting that's Maddy Maddy as that's I feel the same way and this is the thing And we talked about CFM, which is by far my favorite mode to play right now But CFM I drafted everybody they are hit power They're all kind of bums, but I haven't had one hit stick I have Miles Jack, Roquan Smith, none of these guys have enforcer.  That's what I mean about needing abilities to do everything. You know Pursuiters a little while they play pretty dumb, but I feel like a user What with with being able to click on and change I think a lot and I'll tell you this as much as the run Yeah, yeah, Danny fancy draft CFM You could check all my games out on on YouTube man I won a Super Bowl in the first season Danny You could check those out. I had the best draft in the history of CFM my team is dominant But anyway, yeah, I just I feel like hit stickers. I yeah, I feel like No, I what we're talking about as far as pursuit. I feel like every long run I Can watch every long run every long run That I give up I can go back and watch and say damn my user could have been better You know and I feel like with a good user you can contain the run a lot better than with a bad user I feel like Between between clicking on changing the people's angles not overcommitting not picking the wrong hole to hit I Think I think most of the time big runs You can go go back and look at the user and really say damn that's that was the problem right there That's what happened. You know Sam um Let's say yeah, so I think pursuit is bad But I feel like the best man players are gonna have good enough stick to go ahead and Good enough stick to go ahead and kind of calm that down a little bit Camera toggle. Yeah a camera toggle.  I I would someone in the world and that is that why is camera toggle in the game What psycho is sitting at home changing her camera angles?  They want me to use it For real they want me to you they want me to toggle my camera They want me to all of a sudden be at the blink view 38. I'm doing adjustments. Oh, I slipped a little bit blink view W play your lock on For real am I lying chat? Is there anyone out here that uses camera toggle?  I really I want one person to give me the argument for camera toggle I want I want to argue with one person Clef, that's why you need to be K Not for I just hate camera toggle cuz it just pops on randomly. You don't know when you're going in the game You could play 10 games and not know the shit's on cuz you don't you don't hit up and down on a d-pad Unless you mess up then all of a sudden you mess up blue. No dickhead. You're playing the game at this view You're saying Rough definitely rough. We're gonna talk about man But as the pads are be holding our be was pretty much the biggest thing new run abilities. We talked about most Absolutely nuts man, and what's about clubs now, man?  I'm saying I've been I'm telling you I've been locked in the cave chat Locked in the cave. I haven't all I did was scream to rip some packs today for pet Pete Bro, I'm telling you this is the jungle when I tell you all about the jungle.  You guys already know that already have pet Pete But anyway, what are the biggest things about? One of the big McGurk, what's up? What are the biggest things? That um the biggest Struggles you have and a lot of people in the chat. I see Carrie Q in the chat my guy or in the chat, um Have played in Israel and the hardest thing is getting your team together man Because you always feel like is this it like is this really what I want? Is this what's gonna make me tough? Like is this you know what I mean you always like Try to find I don't want to explain it, but you always never really satisfied You always think you can tweak the team a little bit even if you have a perfect team You always feel like you can tweak it a little bit more make it a little bit better so on and so forth and um Let's say So that's one of the biggest struggles you have In the salary cap tournaments is getting your team together really So for me um Now the one a bit of advice that I give you guys man is that don't overthink it man play to your strengths What makes you good? What makes you probably what makes you play well? What? What's most important to you? And one thing I struggle with I do take a lot of advice from a lot of different people You know and they kind of turn me on to some things and I trust a lot of people you know, but at the end of the day chat and At the end of the day, I will tell you guys shot of my man coolie with the gift or so the carry cue One of the things I'll tell you guys man trust yourself you guys all play man You're all here for a reason like you qualify for these club tournaments for a reason You know because you're good enough. You've played well enough. You played enough. So you know what you'd like I'm saying So for the most part um Just trust yourself trust your scheme know what's important to you for me I'll tell you Michael Vic is it. There's no thinking about it. There's no getting of the quarterbacks There's no hot route master. I'm not being cute.  It might not I go to run the ball like I get one yard and all said I'm in 38 You know, so it's not for everybody. Just know what's know what's right for you Know what works for yourself and it's not a man alive that likes playing versus escape artists But anyway, that that's the biggest advice know yourself and I tell people all the time the best Scouting is self-scouting know what makes you good know what makes you score points No, what makes you play defense what then position is important to you I go to some people that don't have middle linebackers Me myself. I like a middle linebacker. I have some people that don't have safeties.  You know, you know, so for me That's just how that's just how I feel and that might not be good for you Sam Because you might want to run the ball. You might want to have more time in the pocket You might have a high brown master. You might need more time God bless Everybody is different. I'm saying everybody is different. Everybody can fight everybody can you know play to their style That's what makes man great, man.  They can have their own twist They can have their own play calling the style. It's the little things that you know make you know styles make fights You know saying This year in cuba game chess says this year has been the best at different things and I will agree This is probably since man 17. This is the most diverse offenses have been Even with in playbooks, you know, like in the past if you heard in New England Oh, this person's running shows tight end or they're running bunch. Oh, you hear Tampa Bay Oh, they were running bunch, you know, West Coast order running bunch You already know now you can hear Oakland and they could be running 500 different other things, you know Or you can hear New Orleans. They could be running 500 different other things, you know, it's so many different Schemes out there that definitely work Um, and I definitely see that and most of the reason why a lot of schemes work is the run is pretty decent You know, and that's something that makes if the run is pretty decent It can make any little formation a little bit tougher chat But it is a good year for a little bit of diversity, honestly But um Tell you guys that the last thing I want to talk about that's been live here for over 40 minutes I appreciate you guys. I appreciate you guys come out and Luke Boyd alludes to this We're gonna talk about streaming Right, we're gonna talk about streaming clubs. Like I said over 500 people in this tournament now chat Give me a number on how many Madden streamers you think there are as far as like pro players Slash man streamers give me a number on how many you think you would consider like a professional streamer Let me know. Let me know what the number is because I have a number in my head You know saying I want to know what you guys think how many pro man players stream Let me see Let me see what you guys think because I have a number that I think you know That you will consider Streamers not man players that stream everyone that you will consider streamers You know and I think I went over this list a couple weeks ago 33 is I think I think the double digits are really high How about this how about We can go we can go how about streamers that have made any type of live event Put it that way. Give me a streamer and a live event person that has made a live event We're talking about obviously me and problem. We're talking about K-Mac We're talking about Henry. You would count it obviously second in the major is what we call cleft Where are the miles or Joel? bugs Let's are you up there? Jenny don't stream if y'all call Jenny streamer. I'm fighting all y'all If y'all call Jenny a streamer, I'm fight. It's a Kobe might be up there Strafing don't stream chaos chaos for chaos for you up there pony pony I don't see pony is making a lot of that.  You know saying Comfy door at the heart. So for me, it's like um, okay So let's call it is we around 10 right? Let's say 10 Maybe between 8 to 8 to 12 right you agree with me on that right now.  That's okay now as it being a small game on twitch That's a small community. So it's easier to make a name in a small community than said huge community So you guys can use this opportunity if you want to be a streamer This is the best way to go gain a thousand followers, you know, and it could help Propel your you know, you're straight if you want to become a streamer. Um, as far as us On the established streamers, I know myself all my big tournament games will be sub only because one The amount of work that these 10 plus players we talked about have put into the streams They deserve it You know now if someone hasn't put in the work and say if someone hasn't grinded in all sudden They want to put a sub only I think that's the wrong way to go because I think The biggest thing about a stream is just consistency and grinding and And you know putting the work in because it's work. Honestly, it really is it's work You know and as much as video games is fun Streaming is a job. It's work and you have to continually put the grind in to grow I mean, it doesn't happen overnight to pretty much anybody. So For me, well, that's a good question. We can talk about that as well So for me, you can use this little spot because let's be real Chat, let's be real if little timmy versus little ray is happening in the broncos club series. We're gonna watch You understand I will tell you that right now and you guys can agree or disagree See skimbo would be sub only but he don't even have a bad. He don't even have any of that equipped You know saying Now I will tell you this I said no matter who No matter who Who um Is going to play a tournament game we will watch Right, we will watch so What if you even if you use me you guys can reach out to me to help promote your stream of your tournament game I will tell you that right now You know saying uh because one thing ea doesn't do is promote these type of things You know, it could be really cool for them to sit Whether it be matmar coup himself or whether it be faros and gives or whether it be rg Just chilling and have some type of red zone with a obs and and just chill on the computer and really Broadcast these games and talk about it. Look at brackets kind of like what we do and I think it's something that would be pretty easy It would be pretty easy To um do honestly, uh, but I mean the effort the effort could be there And this is what I will tell you You are putting yourself at a super disadvantage Ace The disadvantage level is through the roof now. I'll tell you guys this Now I remember man classic man 18, right? Right now um There Okay, what's what's up? I will tell you about this.   I don't remember but I had a single elimination.  I hit up akg man. What's up? What happened? Can I see your past broadcast? He said I didn't stream if short texas goon was it now? This is what I'll tell you guys have ever now I'm some of you guys probably know who short texas goon is he's been around a long time He's been a decent man player a long time not a streamer, right? He's not a streamer. Well best believe I found his stream I watched the past broadcast. I knew what stretching was going to run I knew what run plays he wanted to run. I knew what when he had to pass what his pass play was I knew all of that stuff And what would I do? This is what happened I Hit up bugs. I said bugs. Let's go in the lab.   But for me, that's what I love That's what I enjoy, you know, so And some people don't look like that way, uh, and uh And that's the downside of being a streamer the upside is having this community and having you guys support me Uh, it doesn't happen right away. It might not be happening for all you guys trying to stream It might be it might feel like a slow grind And and and one thing you got to remember about streaming is man If it might feel like a slow grind for you you might look at your viewers and and look damn It's not really popping Every streamer has that same thing and I will tell you this time of year For me it's like i'm over mad because madden starts with such a boom I'm sitting in here with 2 000 viewers playing mutt having fun Then a month later it's just like falls off the map and it just kills And we all feel that and you feel like this depression And it's like why do I do this type of stuff? And I feel like a lot of you small streamers are feeling the same way And I just want you guys to know that we all feel that way the same But no matter what level of streamer you are shout out me a crush with this sub no matter what level you are It's all we all feel the same type of lows and things like that, you know, so So don't be discouraged by that But just keep grinding and if you want to use if you want to use your club games to really propel your streaming Streaming thing or you know streaming, you know your platforms and everything It's a great opportunity and like I said, you guys can reach out to me Give me the links. Let me know when you're playing. I will try my best to retweet them promote them anything Because I know like you and use 400 people in here. I know all of us love um Madden and I know we would all watch every game.   Don't show anybody because it's a huge disadvantage. It really is If you want to win don't stream if you want to build a streaming platform Go ahead and stream. I'll help you promote. I will help all you guys as much as possible. Um And we talked about this there should be incentive to stream Why To me there's an incentive to stream. There's a huge incentive to stream The multi or the multimedia platforms of gaming is huge The amount of revenue the amount of eyes that you can get from gaming is huge Madden is smaller, but it's still beyond big enough to make a career off of And that's the incentive What other incentive would somebody want now you might not want to do this field You might not want to be a content creator. You might not want to um, you know pursue this but for me it's It's worth it at the end of the day.  It's still not the best You know and like I said, I'm one of the top manage streamers and it's still not the best But the opportunity is there, you know the the future for madden anybody streaming is there. So Um, that is the incentive. What would anybody else need an incentive for? I don't know what else you would want You know It used to be will give you a bundle if you stream I remember that they gave away bundles if you streamed or something like that, man Yes, the grind streaming. I will tell you in top picks says I filled his way because the grindest stream becomes work Yes, my biggest passion playing madden has become work And obviously as a gift in a curse because It's a gift in a curse. So for me, um I play a video game for a job.  I gotta look at how many viewers I got how many subs I got Um, I have to play madden today. I can't just chill and play apex. I can't just play 2k I have to go play madden. You know, if I'm not playing the game. I'm losing money That's something how I feel about like if I want to sit here Why I want to watch lebron tonight jet. Well, you guys watch lebron tonight So from 10 30 to 12 30, I'm gonna watch lebron james, right? Because must see tv for me as a sports fan lebron has to be must see tv Lebron ad vs. kawaii. I feel like that's must see tv So i'm going to sit there and watch that now. I feel like Especially in the beginning of the year. Damn. I'm not playing the game. I'm kind of missing out on money You know in that feeling because kind of shitty, honestly 5 000 subs is a great incentive really Obviously, dude boy shout out to bambo for life with the sub man. I've had some good times in alabama Alabama is where the mud head studios are I used to have a girlfriend in alabama Um the last couple times I went she curved me though.

Would y'all would y'all just want to ask y'all chat would y'all come in here and and talk about the games with me That we watch over the weekend because the eagles is going to be thursday the saturday I think and then from then on it's going to be some other clubs Would y'all rock with that now? I'll tell you the biggest thing about like Like it was easier I'll tell you this it is tougher to win when when you know, it's all this chat room before you and stuff I feel like when I played before like I streamed before I won the belt But it wasn't as big as this and you know how to sing phylum But now all y'all rocking with me. It's like I you got carry the weight of the stream on you You know saying mandrel. I don't know see mandrel back in the chat mandrel hit the sub. Let us know you real You know saying but now I feel like am I ready? Listen jack. We might be ready Jack one of the things timmy told am I ready for play to run?

It's gonna slow down, but y'all kept it up.  I can't even look at the chat if I'm in the hell game Exactly jigger man. That's you put that perfectly jigger man. The chat says runners will run themselves out the game If you can score consistently consecutively 1 000 right man My old line my old line.

You already got a gift this up. You good. I appreciate it.  Hey Ryan, that's what it's about man. I want I want all y'all to get better man There you go top picker like I made the lines. I'm already a content creator a freeze with the sub there it is man A free say he's homies with Kent. He told me about you a couple years back when I stayed with him on visit Ohio a Freeze I appreciate it. Kent's my guy man. He fell off Like can't help me win the belt and can't used to be decent a man Honestly 10 years ago. Kent was really tough at man And then he just like he got old got married and now he played fortnight all day. Like I don't understand There's so much money to be made of madden Ah, there you go. Cool. You congrats man Merit down for real.  I ain't ready for it though I think I think sour caps always want to be the top one Ben Jarvis with the sub. Thank you Hey legend for sure. There's people that try to pipe you up, but Yeah, I don't know how to explain it Um problems is doing the thing and people ask me about problems streaming FIFA as my man stole truck And I've had that problem. It's like ultimately You see what madden is madden is great for us. Man has given me It's given problem is giving all these people opportunities It's giving them a spotlight.  I'm not I feel like it's not the same It's a little bit tougher to read the chat madden I think madden as far as streaming is conducive to streaming because between every play you can read the chat and stuff like that And also the one thing about madden The one thing about madden for me is that there's something to talk about pretty much every play You know, you can have a 10 yard hot rod somebody to chat be like damn, that's a good dot Oh, you can have a you know, you can blow the run by damn He blew up the run or this bum trying to run whereas if you playing 2k or you playing a shooting game It's not something to talk about every 10 seconds, you know So, you know what I'm saying? So I think it's I think madden is really conducive to streamers. I think it's a really easy game to stream um Obviously streaming is a it is a talent people get better at it um, but Get some bud lights a man draw bring them through see look Mandrell went from calling me an ugly-ass cracker. Now he wants to buy bud lights in less than an hour He went from being somebody that y'all wanted to ban in the chat Now he's buying me bud light I'm telling you it's a reason the business is growing. It's a reason the brand is growing It's right here chat. This was the needed podcast episode 52 been a whole year in the books. Thank y'all


Will these protests in China continue and lead to a long-term policy change or are they sensationalized by the media? Andrew mainland China is in the news this week. We're talking about social media as well Whether we're talking about people saying on the financial channels You know buy apple puts because the Zhengzhou factories for fox con are shutting down So they're gonna struggle to make iphone 14 pro maxes Or you're talking about Shanghai and Beijing where people are saying down with the government Otherwise people are saying dude. Look at them people are dying and you know apartments in Urumqi Andrew What is going on? We got to give our hot take on it as chinese americans Yeah, and I think that the chinese americans perspective first of all not all chinese Americans have to agree with us but being people who have friends in china who have family members from china or That are Still do business there or whatever and we have friends from china in america So I you know, I just would like people to look at such a complex Geopolitical thing with a little bit more nuance than just reading headlines from like the media Which I understand is easy to do but this is the hard But if you guys were true blue blood americans and actually assimilated You would hope for that whole system to descend into chaos. No, no, no a billy bob. Listen You can still be proud of america and also Uh have a little bit more uh understanding of what's going on over there Yeah, I mean long story short guys, we don't want to get into the details We're not experts obviously some of the hardcore details are pretty murky and people are arguing this way arguing that way coming up with Conspiracy theories more regular theories long story short guys Zero covet is a very harsh policy in china that they probably need to reevaluate because very very few people like it I'm not saying Everybody doesn't like it probably if you're 70 years old and you have pre-existing conditions You're like, oh, thank you for zero covet because I was able to live Because otherwise the youth they just have to sacrifice three years of my life when I was younger I sacrificed 13 years of my life So, you know, it's all relative to like their set of experiences there But ultimately and the young people really really I don't think anybody likes zero covet as a policy Right, which means they're trying to bring covet rates down to zero So if somebody in your building gets covet, they're going to quarantine the whole thing for a week or a month I mean, it is an extreme policy and three years later after covet has kind of spread around the world Like china is still locking down entire cities. I mean, we're talking about locking down Shanghai Which is like the number one two city in china where there's a lot of like wealthy and educated people now Finally stepping up and being like, yo, like I can't take it You know, especially the wealthy and the educated people with international exposure And they don't want to live like that But also the fox con workers the blue collar workers that are in charge of making parts of your iphone Okay, and and it's true, man If you want to support the fox con workers, you got a boycott the next iphone I'm just saying that that's on your responsibility But i'm saying like they're really fed up because uh, they were locked in they escaped from their apartment buildings And then like they got replaced and then there was wage, uh, disagreements and all this stuff So it listen, there are things that definitely china needs to do. I think this is a wake up call I think this is a slap in the face Maybe not a punch in the face, but I think it's a slap in the face where it got the government's attention where they're like Oh shoot, man. Like I don't know what we're gonna do. We're probably not going to react right away But we got to do something Yeah, I think that there are clashes with the police But it's almost like done in a chinese way where they doesn't seem as crazy as clashes with the police In america for the variety of things whether that's uh, the insurrection or whether that's like blm or whatever and I think that uh Because you don't really see this type of tense and slightly violent protests in china That's why a lot of people are surprised and shocked some people are proud. They're like, wow, look at these people speaking up I think it's great. Like I agree with it. I think it's cool But I will also say like in brussels They just rioted after they lost to morocco 2 and o in the in the world cup So there are like people lash out in the rest of the world in way more extreme ways than in china I will say this right for sure. Maybe for china. This is definitely Noticable though. This is notable 100 for sure for sure for sure. I mean long story short to me It just seems like this overly strict parenting the hyper targeted tiger parenting That just goes on in china right now at some point something's got to give because not everybody wants to live like that, you know And you know, of course china's gonna have their perspective on it Which I do think has some valid points where they're like dude Look at all the drug use and all the disunity and all the wildness of the west We just got to control people and get people on the same page and then over here people are like, dude I wasn't even going to do anything bad. Like we don't even have guns and I've got to stay in my crib for like 100 days in a row You got to be kidding me and you know Like it's just like so many pros and cons and it's a completely different system But like we said for me at church growing up under I saw kids with hyper strict tiger parents And I was just always really glad that I didn't have them as parents Right and when we say hyper strict tiger parents I am talking about parents that are so strict and so unfun that when you grow up you probably to be honest Might resent them and that's very common for kids who had to go through that where the parents locked them down Right, they couldn't have sleepovers. They couldn't hang out at friend's house. They had to do this and this they were Yeah, just for your own good.  That's why you can't have fun when you're young because You might get addicted to the fun and then you don't want to study I mean as a chinese america and but and by the way If you enjoyed your childhood at all you would never choose to have those as parents Yeah, no for sure. I mean, I think it's hyper complicated. Some people are going to come in here be like y'all ccp Bop Wu Mao hot pop boys.  Because that would have been more american welcome everybody to the smokehouse boys You know, we're here talking. Yeah, no. Hey, listen, you can still be proud of america. I'm a proud american All right Uh and still also try to seek understanding and be bridges guys, you know on this channel That's all we preach one of the things we preach is is be a bridge for cultures because uh, you know The world is becoming more globalized and there's no stopping that so you might just won't make it the best globalized You know environment that you can it's easy as like americans to be like, oh man I just hope china just devolves into chaos man This ccp needs to leave and this china's i'm like, dude, trust me if china Actually did devolve into chaos that's actually not good for the entire world because china has like all these octopuses arms And yeah, whatever it's like connected to so many different things So I think you would want to just see like a different regime or or uh one that you know operates differently I think that's that's fair But like you don't want china to to be destroyed that's probably not good for the world Anyway, guys, let us know what you think in the comment section below try to keep it civil I already know it's gonna explode. Do not attack each other I mean You know, we're just here to like have a good discussion and not get emotional about things guys very very unfortunate thing going on there I hope they fix it and uh, let us know until next time. We out peace
