This is Stee's along with Tucker locks Up and user Pick. This is the seventy Sixers Gaming Club Podcast. So obviously today's very special for all the mothers in the world to his Mother's Day. You know, obviously everybody that plays a big part with all of us. We all would love to be home and celebrate, but that's really not

in the cards for us right now. So for all you mothers out there, especially the you know, the seventy sixers g see mothers that have been supporting all the us for as long as possible and our journeys through esports. We appreciate you, guys. Thank you guys for you know, tuning into all the streams all of our games, um, even though they've really been going that well lately, but we appreciate it. Um. I'll start out, you guys, you know, you've gotten a little bit to know to know Mike

a little bit user pick through some of the past podcasts. Um, Mike, Mom, what you know where? What? What factor is she play in your life with with all this, with the journey that you've been on, things like that. Definitely been a big part me myself growing up, I didn't really have too much of a father figure. She's kind of had to play both roles at an early age for me. Um. So she's one of those moms. You know. She's, you know, feisty, just like any other mom, but she's also supportive and

anything I want to do, she's gonna be there. I have my back one hundred ten percent, and I always appreciate that. And I'd like to tell her everything personally, Happy Mother's Day. I've told her to you know, earlier today, of course. But she's just one of those moms that, um, you know, you'll want to do something and you'll kind of like paint the picture for and she's like, I don't know about that, but at the end of the day, she sees that it's something um, for example, for the league,

something that I wanted to do personally. I've always wanted to be a competitive gaming um and she knows that. And then finally she just told me go for it. And that's what I did until I finally got here. And she's been here from the start, watched every game. So I definitely appreciate that. You don't seem like the type that would ever like get in like a huge argument with your mom. Yeah I'm getting like a fight or anything. Yeah, I usually let her win. Like if

we do get into a little disagreement. You know, I'm the guy that's gonna go okay, I understand. But in the back of my head, I'm like, but that's just me. You know, I'm kind of more. I've always been mature. At an early age, sixteen years old, I was already working, so I kind of she've been stilled those things of being mature at an early age, and I definitely appreciate that because it helped me be a better man today.

So there you go. That's definitely definitely something that I'm appreciated, and it's it's it's Mike Albatar albatb Yeah, Albert say it. Albert might go ahead one more time. Albert's here, Albert there, you know perfect it's not now lock up. We know you have one nutty nurse um one of the big supporters seventy sixes GC or one of the biggest tugger

Henry fans in general. M tuck the same question I asked, Mike, what's uh, you know, how big of a factor is does your mother play in your life, your support and your esports career? I would say, you know, definitely, she's supported me no matter what I've done, um, whether it's you know, two K related, esports related, or just life in general, just striving for basically, you know, doing whatever you want to do and whatever makes you happy at the end of the day doesn't really matter what it is.

And so I can really appreciate that. And two K wise and you know seventy six yeares GC wise, she's she's one of the biggest fans. You know, she loves she loves herselves from two K. When you guys like one of the one of the funny little inside things that you guys have together you and your mom is obviously you guys go get typoo together. When do you guys go on these you know, these little mom son dates to go get food or something. There's just random

or for random. I'll literally be sitting in my room. She might well, uh, I might come out, you know, she say, hey, you want to go off? You want to go off for lunch? Nothing planned, nothing really planning less unless I'm like going somewhere. I'm like, you know, since I you know, right before I came to Philly, you know, it was like, you know, let's go get lunch. But usually it's just like randomly just be sitting there on lunch. And something also special about about your mother

And also my sister Nurse's day was a few days back. Um, and she plays a big part in that as well, which is awesome. UM. And somebody I was gonna ask, was have you ever well, how long has she been a nurse since you were born? Since? I mean she's been in the medical field for as long as I can remember. Um, so you know, in that industry going on twenty plus, did you ever have a time where

you got to go in to work with her or anything? Um, I've been um, like I've been to the hospital, been you know, been to why she's worked, like if she forgot something or she you know, needed food or something from the house that go into you know, sometimes delivered to her if she asked. But nothing but what like nothing when you were a kid, like like like take child to work day kind of thing like anything like that.

Um No, not really. Yeah, but you know usually when she's at work, like she's really busy, like you know, they have all that, you know, stuff they have to get done in a day. So I really haven't did that, but I've seen the kind of the ins and outs of the hospitals and yeah, no, I hear you. Um. Now, she she is awesome and she obviously you know, she loves making her videos, especially when they have to do with you, and UM, I'm pretty sure she's Um, she

really appreciated the nurses video that you've had for her. Um. But you know she's always been great. Um. I'll go to the chat for a little bit. What's up, hottio. How are you doing pop ball as well? Buddy? Uh Demon grind and said, y'all ready for the Warriors gaming on Tuesday, of course. I mean, you know we're preparing

the next couple of days. Obviously, our first two games have been a little rough, but uh, you know, we're just trying to get better every day, still trying to figure out some things some team some teams have the build figured out like pretty well right now. Um, and I guess you know, I was talking to Screttie about it. One of the interesting things Mike and Tuck. You guys haven't been here in the past two seasons, but we've always been very successful right at the beginning of the year.

We start struggle a little bit in the middle, and then we like finish off decently well. But it's weird because the teams that have won the championship the past two seasons have started out absolutely terrible and then you figure it, then they figure it out at the end. You know. That's why the big mantra for the league is, you know, it's it's not like it's just about when you get hot like that. That's what it is. Whatever team's hot is at the end of the year is

going to be the one that does it. And so it's kind of that's kind of like a positive that I see right now is that, yeah, we're not doing good. And obviously what I love to be to and oh, of course we're not like it is what it is, but you know, there's only up from here. And I think it'll be interesting this season being able to see the flip side of it now and like maybe not start off so hot and then like hopefully you know, yeah, finished wrong. I think that's one of the ways to

look at it. But yeah, I mean first two games didn't go the way we planned. But we've been practicing a lot of practice lately. It feels like, um, and then Mike, any new uh, any new shows or anything you've been watching later to get you through the coronavirus. I've been scrolling through the Netflix, you know how I go. Sometimes I've been actually watching a lot of their like, uh, they have like Netflix specials movies, so it's I guess it's designated for them directly. But I've been I like

a lot of military movies. Um, so I watched like it's called Triple Frontier. I think it's it's pretty military. But pretty much I've been trying to find anything if I'm not down stories downstairs grinding, trying to watch a movie or a show or a blah or something. Have you ever been like a big YouTube person, like just go on YouTube and watch videos or no, um for like popular YouTubers. Yeah, but not just like random ones,

but if it's a popular guy. I've been watching So and Tuck any podcast lady, Yeah, Rose, who was the last person that you see, I've seen plenty of clips of it. I watched the main that everybody put out with um how he named his kids or what he named them, and how he went about that he might be a robot. Yeah yeah, And when that came out, that was instant, like I put that to my safe list and I was watching that right away. Yeah, but

I mean, so there's that one I was. I mean, I tell you the ones that I try to watch, but I'll just find the clips because sometimes like podcasts that are like over an hour, like I can't, I can't listen for that about two and a half. Yeah yeah I can't. Yeah, I've been swash it. I just sit there the whole thing, just kick back, you sit there and actually watched the video as well, Yeah, because

like sometimes they show like on screen stuff too. I wish they did that more, honestly, because I I have what even though I don't like watching the long ones I have watched the like a full one before, and I think I saw like one on screen thing, and I'm kind of like, I wish there was more that.

That's the point I'm trying to make with that, And that would be awesome, like if we had that on here, if we got into like more like really in depth topics about things, and then we would definitely need something like that. Um, but yeah, no, I mean everything's still you know, kind of the same with us for you guys that are wandering, practicing a lot and just trying to get through the days as best as we can while still like preparing for our games that we have

every week. Usually we'll have anywhere from like one to two maybe even a third game each week. So like there's downtime, but it's weird. It's like, would you say, Mike, do we have a lot of downtime? Like I don't know. When people ask me that, I think, like, yeah, how

we do. But then like when the next day comes around, you're we are downtimes realistically from like six to like midnight, and then we wake up the next day and we're kind of getting back into practice again and then six to midnight, So it's like, I don't know, would you say that we have a lot of downtime or a little bit of downtime things like I like you would say a situational that just feels like it's a rotation. Yeah. Once you're doing you know, pretty much the same thing

and just trying to get better. You know, we have our SCRAMs and of course, you know you said six to midnight and then back at it once you wake back up. Yeah, but I mean we have a decent amount of time and we all utilize the different ways, but that we have a good amount of time. Yeah. I mean you guys YouTube were locked in your stay on the UFC fights. Oh yeah, it's great. Finally some kind of sport. Yeah, you want to you want to talk to me about it. I just thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely,

that's your thing. You love the UFC. Yeah, I like fighting in general, and it's you know, it's good to see some live sports too, you know, side the fans. You know, no fans obviously, so it's a little bit weird at first, but as you're watching it, you're like, you just you know, you got the crowd roaring, going crazy, and then did it look like the fighters like we're phased with by not having a crowd out there. I

don't think so. I mean I don't think. I think the same viciousness and everything they had, Yeah, they were then see that that would that would be a sport if I was a fighter, where I would definitely want a crowd because even for like us now like practicing and games and stuff like that, Like it is weird not being on the stage, Yeah, getting that extra Yeah, even though I mean it is what it is and we have to do remote play and all that kind

of stuff, being on the stage has always just been different. Friend, It's always been fun and um and I was talking to Tuck, I mean, I'm sure there's fighters who you know, I pretty much love that scene because they probably you know, some have you know, the legit ors or stage fright now, they just get to go out there and just do what they do without having to worry about someone being

in their ear or the crowd going crazy. For the other guys, I couldn't imagine someone like Connor McGregor actually like being on fight right now with no crowd. Yeah, I feel like he like thrives for that or like lives off that kind of definitely. Um, let me go back to the child a little bit. Uh, Howdy else says you guys will definitely bounce back lock in. Yeah, I hope so man nerdy. So what's going on? Man? Uh Tea Springs, how you doing? Demon? What's going on? U?

But yeah, no, I mean we've been trying to get through as best as we can. M another topic. I guess we can kind of talk about some of the uh the relationships that we've built up and stuff like that. I think I've talked to you about him a little bit. Tug. Let me hear your if you had to describe somebody on our team, describe Scretty to everybody in the twitch chet we've had Scretty also on here, they've got to know him a little bit. What is it being like

his teammate, his friend. I would just say, you never know what he's gonna say. Okay, you just never know what he's gonna do. And have an example, gosh, an example. There's I think there's so many. I'm just trying to think um or like maybe like a favorite moment, I'm Scretty, you go first, and I'll i'll and I'll bounce off yours. I have favorite moments. A lot of mine are like some season one, maybe a little bit of season two.

One of my favorite moments was season one with him because I don't know, I don't know how it really worked out, but me and him just decided that we're going to room together season one U And that was at the Tipoff Tournament, first time in New York together, and we're like, all right, we're gonna room together. We room together, and the tip Off Tournament, you try to make it out a group play. That's how it works.

And before we left, I said this before in the podcast, our GM at the time told us because he didn't know how good we were, be honest, neither did we. And he told us, listen, guys, don't worry about going out there and winning or whatever. Just go out there and have fun, like, you know, whatever happens happens. And we're kind of like, that's not bad advice, but we're just we want to win, like at least a couple of games, you know, And so we screading in our

room and together we go out there. We play our very first game against the Blazers and we lose that and we're like, okay, so that's not good because if you go oh and two, you're done, You're out. So we lose our very first game. We're like, well, let's see how this goes. And so then we have Toronto next beat them, and then all we have to do is beat the Magic and we get to go playing the money rounds. From like we could do this. Well, that game goes down to the fourth quarter with like

thirty minute thirty seconds left. We end up beating them and we're in the money rounds. Very first game in the money rounds is against Dallas. Well that night you get to go home and get rest for the next day, and that's money rounds screading. And I remember we go home or we go back. Now we go back to our hotel room and we're sitting there and you know, he gets he's in his bed and I'm in mind and he looks at we go steeze. I'm like what, he goes, we were really they made it out of

those really made it out of the first round. And I was like, oh god, and he's like yeah, he goes. Now we got to play like the sweaties of all sweaties for money. You know, you're just not scretty talking. That's how he talks and he's like, what are we gonna do? And I was like, I don't know, Like you know, we have to come up with a game plan. And so long story short, we win. We win the

whole tournamenthich awesome. We go through Dallas, we go through the Pistons, and then we beat the Blazers, who beat us the very first game of the tournament. We beat them in the finals and after that. My favorite moment of Scretti is me and him or back at the room after it's all said and done, we have I want to say that we took the trophy to art room, the tip off the banner and we took it our room and we sit down and Scretty looks at me and he goes, oh my god, these we really won that.

But that's one of my favorite moments of Scretty. I mean there's been plenty. He's like a little brother to me, and I don't know, it's always, you know, something new with him, but like, yeah, I agree with you. You never know what you're gonna get out of him. Um. I think one of the interesting things about him though, is that like sometimes he'll be like the most hyper guy in the world, and then like sometimes he could be like so down about what God knows what, but

he's just like so not about it. But yeah, do you have any moments? I would it's I don't really have one specific moment with him. I just think it's just like, you know, he's just a goofball, you know, you know, on on and off, like even while we're playing too, even off we're playing. It's just like I consider myself, you know, I can do some goofy things too, but it's just in a different kind of way. And Scretty's way is just it's just really funny to me.

Do you have any moments. I wouldn't say moments up for me. I would say it's just an energy he brings to the room. Like he'll come in early when we have to scrim come in blasting music and getting pump, trying to get the team pump. So he's definitely funny. He'll he'll say some funny stuff. But I just say the energy he can bring, like you say, some days he's coming down blasting his music is you know, I think that it's something that you have to have on

your team. I remember both seasons where after season one, you know, Jeff asked rating me, like do we bring Shreddy back? And it was like kind of like no doubt, Like we have to have him back just because not only is he a good player, he's a good teammate, but like just the different vibes and the energy that he brings. You want that around. Sure, trend read us. Do you think that the team is phase despite the

O and two start? How do you ensure that the team stay is confident the rest of the team despite the slow starter? What do you think, Mike? Yeah, I mean, you know, unfortunately, of course you know, we haven't started off how he wanted too. But I just think it's bringing us closer together at the team. No one you know what, we're gonna have to go through adversity early in the season. Everyone has to go through a little adversity. No team really just goes and flies over the radar.

Just unfortunately, you know, I had to start off this way. But just taking it day by day, you know, working on the little things for us, it's just practicing what we need to do, looking over film. But I think it's bringing us closer together and we should be ready to go. Yeah, what do you think took yeah, I would say, Um, I don't know, phase, but maybe disappointed,

you know obviously with the results. You know, you know, we have a great track record and you know, like you said earlier, starting off really strong, being one of the better teams you know coming in to the new season. But um, you know, it's a long season and like you said, it's out of how you start until you finish. So I feel like, um, this O and two start, you know, we only have room to grow being and two.

So I think, you know, getting that first game, getting that first win will propel us, you know, for the rest of the season, right rest of the season, and give us a momentum. I think it's I think it's like a new challenge. I think it's like a new team different. We've always started off really good, and now I think this is a new task for us. Okay, you know, our backs are against the ropes right now.

You know, we could easily just lay down and you know, go on to season four and let's see what happens there. But you know, we got an opportunity right now, and uh, and I think that it's a it's a fun little challenge. It's obviously now where we want to start, like when Mike said, but you know, these are the cards that were dealt right now, you know, we gotta we gotta make something happen out of it. So I think I

think it's pretty interesting. Um, didn't the Knicks start oh and two season one and didn't Yeah, that's kind of what we were saying, Like both champions from season one and two both started how to didn't start out too great? Um, And I remember, like I'd always talked to Feast and stuff after season two or during season two when they were going through it, and you know, trying to help him just get through it because I was my guy from season one and obviously we wanted him back in Philly,

but once you know, Minnesota kept him. You know they started off rough, and you know he ended up beating us in the final. So I know he's happy. But you know, teams go through it and that's what it is. But it's always like you always think that or from outside looking in, like if you're not a part of the league, you always think that the teams that start off bad like they're just gonna remain bad, but they

really don't. It's the teams that like stick together, even the teams that have like decent records, like maybe not the best records, just decent records. The teams that stick together, the ones that are like holding the trophy at the end of the year. It seems like, so that's kind of what I've always told our team too, Like the team that just grinds it out through like all this especially like you know, the quarantine process, all that kind of stuff, Like that's gonna help you get through all

this kind of stuff. But you know it, it's definitely interesting. I don't know, like what all your viewers have been thinking about the remote play. I know players have their own opinions and stuff like that. Trust me. I know, if if we could, we wish we could just play on stage because New York we have a whole new studio that everybody's excited to play at, but it's just not really in the cards right now. And this is

what we have to do to play our part. And you know, plus we've been on ESPN two, I know, us versus the Wizards. We were just on NBC Philly, which is awesome, you know, for them to have that kind of exposure for us, and I think, you know, we bring in some new fans probably from that. You know, people who don't know what we were about, all of a sudden they watch us and and they're like, wow,

this is kind of cool, even though you know it's not. No. You know, certain players out there like you know Ben Simmons, Joel or something like that, like m but you have like a radiant or you know, you have a breadwinner, a scretty like stuff like that. I think that's really cool. And I think that these fans across you know, the East Coast and stuff like that, could could really be engaged and find a new team to support, which I

think they like. Um t Spring said, I believe brotherhood and team chemistry on and off the car, on and off the core plays a huge factor. Um of course it does. I mean you I don't know, Tuck, what what would you say, like if you had to, if you had to sum up like a team, like especially in the league, especially in an esports team, like what do you what are the key factors that you need to be able to make it? I would say it's you know, trust, you know is one of the biggest thing.

And I think that just goes with you know, two K Esports or any team in general, trusting that your teammate, UM is going to do the right thing, gonna make the gonna make the right pass, make the right shot, even if even if they don't, still still keeping faith in them, still still keeping their confidence up. So when that opportunity arises for them to you know, make that play,

they feel like they're going to do it. And I feel like that is what creates like good teams and that's what you know, kind of bring wins on in the future. Mike, you any factors that a team needs, UM, I would say unity kind of you know, kind of goes hand in hand of course, but just being you know, being one at the end of the day, you know,

you win and lose as a team. UM, just having each other's back, knowing that, you know, if if we play two k so if you go and make a try to go and make a play knowing that I have your back if you need help, just to say things at the end of the day. I just think that if you take care of the simple things and lock in UM, you know, the results will show at the end of the day. So I would say unity definitely, Yeah,

It's really good. UM. Mine's always you know, playing for the guy next you, and it's that that goes in with teamwork and trusting them and all that kind of stuff. But we've always had the family oriented team here, which is you know, really big. I mean everybody has their families and we have plenty of guys on the team with kids. Now Jeff just brought in his third, which

is awesome. But when when you're playing for the guy next to you, and like if you really think about it, like every move you make, every time you know you drop from a corner, every time you go get a box, that get a board, anytime you make a three point anytime you know you make the right pass, like stuff like that, Like when you're really like going into every game thinking like, Okay, I'm gonna like give him my all because the guy next to me is gonna do

the same for me. And like our main goal is to you know, put on a show for the people that have always support us from day one, our family or friends, all that kind of stuff. Like that's when you see like the results that like you Like, that's when you look at the scoreboard and you know you like the way it's looking because you have always played for the guy next to you. And like that's how

you end up getting wins. And like on the contrary, when you know people are playing for themselves or for their own stats, that's when you start seeing losing and those are the things that don't work for a team. So m but that's how I've always explained it, especially like someone like Scretty or Bread. You know, it's not always about you know, the the glamour, the lights, all

that kind of dazzling stuff. But you know, when you really get down to it and you're playing for that guy next to you, it makes it easy to realize, like or it makes it easier to go out there and do your job, definitely, like when you wake up

or someone. I think one of the hardest things sometimes that people don't understand about our profession is that it's not like, I know, our thing is like hashtag this is not a game, but it's really not like you wake up and even if it's game to day, no matter what, no matter if you're prepared as hell for

the week, it's always it's a little nervous. You get you get the butterflies, you always do, even though it's just a video game, but like there's way more to it and when all these things are going through your head with like Okay, I gotta worry about this, I gotta worry about this, and now I gotta worry about this. I gotta make sure I do this for my team

so we could be successful all this stuff. But like at the end of the day, if you like cut it to just brass tacks and like bottom line it, what you need to do is literally just play your heart out and just play for the guy next to you. And I promise you like you'll like what that scoreboard looks like. And like I don't want to say, that's not something that we've been doing. And that's the reason why we're owing too. Like I know we're we're not going out there like trying to get turnovers. I know

we're not going out there trying to miss shots. Everybody wants to um, sometimes it just doesn't like shots don't fall, something like that just doesn't go and um, but that's what it is. I mean, I know we have a team here that's like trying our best to be a team, which which is you know, which is awesome. And I appreciate all that from all you guys, but um, it's just been it's just been a rough deal right now, and you know, we just gotta get over the hump.

But h yeah, I'm excited. Like I said, I think it's a new challenge for us and it's something great. The exposure that the league is getting amazing. Yeah, I mean that first time be on ESPN. Obviously wouldn't want to lose on there, but it's always nice. As a kid, you always dream about being on ESPNUM. You want to know something funny. Time back in high school I played I played football. Um, I was voted in high school

most likely to be on ESPN. But at that time I had already been on ESPN twice before that for like football like plays. I got what it was. One time I was on ESPN four I had back to back punt returns in the football game, and so I was on ESPN for that, but I was actually voted that. And now I've been on ESPN probably like three times, I think four, three or four. But uh but yeah, so no, I mean that's awesome, Like, how how do you feel about be on ESPN? Yeah, it was amazing.

And then also they see they added us to like the ticker you know on the bottom where the serial shows the scores. Yeah, that starts showing the teams and the scores. I was like, I've never thought of two K has made it so now we're definitely exposure has been amazing. Yeah, and hopefully you know, next time we're on there, we're getting debts. Yeah. Do you ever think ESPN we'd be on there, you'd be on there? Anything

like that had a chance. No. I mean I mean maybe when I when I got into the league, but before the league started. Now, yeah, but once the league started, I think, you know, maybe someday, but I didn't know when exactly that date would be. But I didn't realize it would be you know, three years, you know, after the league started, which is really great already on ESPN. Yeah. Um yeah, if you guys have any questions, go ahead and throw him in the chat and I'll try and

answer them as best I can. Um, how y'all feel about the team this season? Feel pretty good about it? Rough Star, but we're picking it up. Tuck, what was Uh? I don't know if I've ever asked you, but I mean I probably have. I mean, you know, I have been closed for a while now, but like if you were never like, let's say, let's say didn't make the league. Let's say not a produced manager. Um none, no, uber driver, don like that. What would be like another big job

that you would want to do? M hmm. It's like a like a like career career. What would it be? Career career? Let's see something. I've considered doing something outdoors, you know, like being out the side. Okay, but I don't know what the way what that would be. Maybe you're gonna laugh at this, but I guess I'll just be a salesman. Yes, what about like uh, what about like um, like a manager like bass pro shop or something like that. Yeah, I'll say you some bait, some bait.

Who's your worm guy? Start a worm farm? Stop? Come on, there's gonna be something outdoors. I know you're an outdoors guy, So what would it be? Maybe a park ranger? There you go part? Yeah, do you did? Would that do it for you? I just wouldn't waking up every day like putting on the uniform and like driving in your jeep or whatever, driving in your wrangler. I mean I

could do that. I just wouldn't the ticket part giving out tickets Like I'm I'm a pretty nice guy in general, like I'm pretty forgiving, so like, I don't know if i'd meet my quota. Do park rangers get a quote? I know, yes, yes, I'm sure they have to give tickets out, so maybe maybe a park ranger, park ranger, tuck. What about you? Mine's kind off the wall. But I've always wanted to be an astronaut. Oh we talked about that. Yeah, we talked. I have no desire, absolutely no desire to

go to space. Yeah, you know how they're talking about like trying to make like the easy like um planes or ships that'll take like like citizens, just like normal average citizens, just a personal line. Really, definitely, I wanted to be asked. So if it was like, if it was like let's say, like a five grand ticket or something, you do it. Yeah, definitely, if as long as it's not like, let me just go out there and then come straight back down, let me let what interests you

about it? I just want to know what's out there, Like I mean, you see it, you know, things on TV, but I want to see it from you. No, No, okay, okay, obviously you want to see what you want to know what's out there. If you got out there and nothing was out there. I'd be rattled. I would be checked. I'll tell you right, I don't want to be rattled. I want to go out there and just see, you know, a little me think something's out there. I definitely think something.

Do you think something living is out there? Definitely think something livings out there, like an actual like something like it, like aliens. Yes, definitely. I believe in aliens. Believe it or not, I do believe in aliens. I have something to add on to the astronaut part. It's kind of funny. I have a cup back home, one of my favorite drinking cups. It says potential because not everyone could be an astronaut. Yeah, definitely not. Well, don't your brother or

you have an astronaut costume? Yes? Uh, I do have an astronaut costume back home because he went to Uh, you wear it. I haven't worn it before. Um, I was gonna wear it, you know, for the old holidays, you know, a little trick or treating. Uh you know whynot? But yeah, it's it's a blue uh, a little space suit. God, I'm definitely astronaut him. I want to see what's out there,

just for my own eyes. I'd go just one time I don't even any even if nothing was out there, that wouldn't bother me, not to like out of space something. Just traveling in general. Are you like big with traveling, like you would you want to travel the world. Yeah, no, definitely, I just not in the car. I hate in a car for longer than I agree with that two three hours I got. I'd rather take a plan, you know, plane.

I want to go to Europe really bad. I want to take my family, Like that's somewhere I want to take my mom and my sisters and all that. But like, what about somewhere like like China, Korea, and like you'd be down, Like that would be the place you'd love to go down? Yeah, yeah, anything. I've always wanted to travel as much as possible. I'm one of those I don't want to say that I went everywhere. Definitely, it's not.

Sometimes it's not possible. But I mean I watched. The only thing with me is I watched a lot of movies and stuff. I start thinking about all the bad things that can go wrong. Like I'm like, oh, I'm gonna go here, and then all of a sudden, somebody's gonna be waiting for me and that's the only thing that travels in my head. I think things through it before I do things. So, um, that would be on one thing. So um what I was I canna say?

Uh yeah, there see, I want to travel. There are of course some countries that I do not want to travel, but outer spaces wouldn't do it for me. Now now let me ask you this then, Mike, So since you're out of space too, you're cool that, like you'd want to Yeah, if there was a trip, I get okay, Now let's do the reverse bottom of the ocean to see the Titanic. Would you go down there? One of my fears is drowning or anything was not being able to breathe, So I probably wouldn't go underwater or I'm

talking about like deep. Yeah, I'm cool on that. You would only be able to get down there with like a summer summer kind of I mean, if you're if I'm in like a you know thing, then yeah, a capsule thing. I'm fine. Did you be good with that?

Yeah's interesting? What about because I don't think that's actually considered like the Abyss Like now I'm talking about like what would you go deeper like the Mariana trench or like would you go deep deep if if I was sure, if they feel safe, and yeah, I would do that more than I do that. Or space why so much? I mean, obviously someone's can go wrong underwater, but like

you know, you're still on Earth. Like if something goes wrong and you're out there, it's like that's a rat, be quiet, pretty peaceful ice, I'm assuming, wouldn't you just explode? What like if if, um, I shouldn't have if you didn't have a if you just went out there, let's just say something broke in your suit, wouldn't you just explode and you're in a lot of trouble, Let's just say, yeah, like you would just turn into a bunch of pop pop.

Yeah yeah, yeah doesn't do it for me. And like even the movies like, uh, the last one I saw Interstellar, Um, what was the gravity with Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. Watch them and you know it's obviously very cool visual effects and all that, but Nope, doesn't I'm not like, Wow, should the point where it's like when I watch good Fellas or I watch Casino or I watch Godfather, and I'm like, that'd be a pretty cool little lifestyle to live or like you know, like that that'd that'd be

pretty fun to like grow up at that time. But like yeah, no, like being on a space that that wouldn't do it for me. Yeah, definitely be me first in the line, sign me up? And and how long has that been? Like a not a fantasy, but like how long have you been interested in like outer space for a long time? I like like the whole sci fi or like just knowing when the unknown like just I just want to see it from my own eyes. Anybody could tell me something, but I want to see it.

If it's nothing there, fine, I'm okay with that. I'll go up. I'll come back and say, hey, there's nothing. What do you tuck? Can can you be specific with you? What do you really thinks out there? Um? They don't just say aliens like give me like no, I mean, what is out there? Touch I think you'd be like surprised. I don't think there is a ton out there. Just in general, I don't think you'd see as much as you might think because they're hiding. I just don't think

they're just dancing on the moon. If you went to the moon, I don't think that they're just they're just chilling dancing. Okay, Hey, but what is it? What's out there? Touch if if like even though you've never been out there, you don't know, but like if somebody said, give me your best assumption of what the heck is out there? What's out there? I would like to think that there's other living species out there? What do they looks like?

Not like the movies? Do they look like No, it looks like big green dude, they have m kind of just what an alien looks like. I'm gonna go with that, Okay, I want to know how how like who is the how did they come up with the picture of an alien? That's my question? Like its just somebody randomly drew one like like like that, why that's interesting? They put it in people's heads. And now if you think about an alien, you kind of have an image of whatever you would

supposedly in alien. It looks like but who came like I just never understood that, Like somebody just drew one one day and said, here you go and put it in everybody's head like like that, just show me one. Just okay. The next topic haunted like mansion or like hotel? Could you spend the night in one, like could you go there and like actually explore? I think so. Yeah, me and talked about this that you guys could like

the paranormal. I'm telling if you were laying if you were laying in bed trying to go to sleep, you close your eyes and you heard somebody to say something to you, I think it'd be fun. I'd be good. I want to you know how you going with just night vision or like those types of area. Yes, that's asked me. I'm definitely. I like the parrot, like I like knowing all that. I think it would be better and it's all be it if you went with somebody too, for you do by yourself and would be like by yourself,

I would be. If I don't, it may be a little scared. I think we talked about this I wanted. I was talking about like Alcatraz and how you can do like the tours and night and things like that. That would be me. I don't think Alcatraz like haunted though, I'm sure something that I'm talking like if you went into like an Amityville horror house. Oh yeah, well, like that would be pretty intense or or like a old like like mental asylum, I'd be down, says I'm into

that kind of stuff, to be honest. I like watching all the shows and all that stuff, but actually experiencing it too. What's like your favorite, Uh, I guess paranoma movie or like thriller movie, like Exorcist, the very original, the one just coming down backwards. She said, that's scared the hell out of it. And then I watched it like sometime after twenty and ten, and it just doesn't do it for me. It's not that scary, just because

the graphics are so terrible. Yeah, like you had to catch it on early on, but or like it has to be like a mood set and you know, night, like, let me watch a scary movie. What about you, guys? For what what's your like biggest scary movie or like paranom movie or like thriller movie. You know, something like a scary movie. Oh, go with Halloween. That's a scary movie. Yeah. Yeah. The older ones with uh, what's her name? The sister,

the sister, Yeah, the sister of Michael. I can't remember. Yeah, I know her name, I just can't think of right now. But no, those are good. Wait, so even like the newer ones, the Rob Zombie ones. Oh, the Rob Zombie

ones were good. But I just I'm a big fan of older films in general, just not even not even Halloween like or scary movies per se, just just older films in general, just because I feel like they, um put more time into like producing them, Like the character build up was better, plot and um, I feel like they instead of you know, just putting movies, you know, into the masses, you know how they do nowadays just

for money, it was more more thought out. So I just like it's harder to make a good scary movie none day. So okay, So if we're on the scary movie topic, you know most of the guys, right, So, like you you have your Jason Bories, your Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers text chance on masker leather face, like Michael Myers, Jason Bores, who wins in the fight? M I'm tagging Michael. I haven't seen him go through. I don't seen him come back plenty of times. We're gonna go with the

tail of the tape here. Wait wait, wait, let's put it all out there right now. Okay, Jason is actually dead. He's not actually living. He died back in Camp Crostal Lake. We all know this. He's dead, Michael. I don't think he's dead when he's in movies, Like, he's not a he's not an undead like coming out of the ground like that's Jason. So as long as we know that, hike wise, I think they're both probably around six foot nine. Jason's a little bit more wider, though I feel like

Jason is wider. Um I feel like Michael might. I don't know, Michael might be a little bit more quicker. Michael's really sh They both walk a lot. They do. Oh yeah, they never seen. If we're going reach wise, like reach with weapon, Jason has the machete, where Michael has more of a like a like a what kind of knife would you call it? I don't even know. It's like a I don't be like we need to like throw something up and like have it up there so we could what kind of knife is it? But

what kind of knfe would you call it? Like a dagger knife? Like that's kind of like, I don't know whatever. It's a basic big butcher knife, but it's not like actual butcher knife. It's but it's you know, but like we all agree that Jason has the reach because he has the machete. It's layer. But Michael can get quick STAPs, he can get quick ones. He's quick with it, hill pop about of nowhere to yea. His strength like when he picks people up, he looks like fairly, But I

mean Jason is strong as well. Would you say Michael has more of the stealth advantage? Maybe, like is he little bit more stealthy? Well, I mean you watch Halloween movies. He's standing there in broad daylight. Nobody see that's true. So I guess ver mind Jason has more stealth, doesn't he. Maybe it could go either way. Who do you take Michael? I mean, Michael's my guy, you know, that's my favorite movies. But Jason seems to, you know, take a few hits too and bring it back up. I think I think

it'd be a close fight. Um. I think he'd coming out of the end. Um it go to you know, the judge's decision at the end of the day, putting money on judges decision. If if it goes all five rounds, Uh, it could be. It could be a draw. I could see round two of that fight definitely, because when they did the movie, if you guys haven't seen it. The Freddy Rush Jason. Yeah, this was a little bit back in the day. I think it was in like fourth or fifth grade when I came out. But they don't

really have a deciding winner. But if you really had to give it to somebody, it's probably Jason. They pretty much made it Dreddy. Freddie got decapitated, but then he like winks at the end, like he said he did wink just telling Jason I'm still here. Yeah, because technically they're both dead like they've always been, but he's still here technically. Yeah. Uh so Jason, Jason would be a powerhouse. But now I guess I guess it would. It's kind of unfair in the fact that Jason is dead and

Michael's not. So if you had to do it another way, you would do the two undead versus the two living, which are Michael and Leatherface. Those two would have to go at it, and then you just have Jason and Freddy go at it again. So who are you going with Leatherface and Michael Leatherfaces Because Leatherface is fast, he's quick, he runs, it's very quick. He has you know, probably like a ninety excel ninety speed. Yes, he's definitely got

Hall of Fame bruiser, Yes, quick reflexes. You know that chainsaw is you know books deep pooks literally literally deep literally and figure ly deepokes. Um, that would that would be another one, but I don't know. That's speed with a little bit of power versus maybe not a lot of speed but raw. Here's the deciding factor I think in that matchup is I think Michael has a little

bit more perseverance. I think leather Face, if you get to him, if you get in his head, I think we might he might get a little bit more rattled, like if you were to escape, if you were to escape his grab, I think he might just eventually give up and wait for the next person where I think Michael um, his perseverance will eventually kick in in that fight and he'll be able to um, you know, get you eventually because he's not giving up. There's no stopping

Michael once he has his eyes said on you. Definitely. I think one of the guys that we also forgot about too is the guy from Scream ghost Face. He was another one. I think he would definitely be on the weaker and he probably lose all four of those guys. Yeah, his division, you know, the straight division definitely, But I mean, uh yeah, I like that. We all can agree that, like are on our like the horror films, like we all we all like those. We've all have our fair

share of, uh watching. My very first horror film that I've ever watched was Texas chanceaw Massacre. I was really young. My sister took me and I literally couldn't sleep. I was I think I was running in my parents room like every night. Were you ever like that? You guys like that? Do you ever get scared movie? I mean I get I have a lot of like nightmare and stuff, but I wouldn't be I just wake up. Yes, that's me. I get scared, but I just I just either probably

turned off. What's the first movie you remember ever watching? Scream? Actually scary movie? Well you by myself one of the Halloweens for sure? Really which ones? But because you know, of course, when you're younger, I can't remember all like when I probably watched something beforehand. But one of the Halloween's I want to say, because I remember just Michael Myers and I pictured a maritime because we had like a triangle shaped glass on our door, and I just

picture every time somebody I'm not sitting there. I still do that to this day though. We just look through the glass so like, you know, I'm you know, we stay up late, you know, and everyone's asleep and I'm, you know, up at two am. I'll I'll literally come out of my room and beast in the kitchen and look at my window be like, don't you dare pop up?

Are you talking about like all the time? Every every Okay, here's the problem with how they designed kitchens nowadays, or I guess even in the past they always designed its word. If you're going to get food at night and you you're great, the sink window, it always looks out into your backyard and you see nothing but darkness. I just hope to myself, please just not today. God, don't be standing there all the time. I still do that. But

do you ever think about it like this thing? You know, you're a grown man, like you could take somebody if you needed to, Like, do you ever think like, okay, if this happened right here, like am I gonna be scared? Or am I gonna like hold this down? Like what do you what do you do? At that point, I have to hold it down, like if Michael's standing right there. I have a Louisville slugger um in my bedroom and I take it out. But I don't think that Louisville

is enough. Probably not. But what do I do? I catch it? Do you scream? Um? Or I might try to negotiate. I would say like, why are you doing this? You know, talk to him like I feel like they all try to win movies and they still just get killed. I think I would work. I think might work, act like they won't do nothing and all of a sudden just but what did I do there? I feel like Mike would just run. It depends where I'm at. If I feel like I'm a big girl, stick on it

ahead of time, I'm gonna get here. Listen to this. Yeah, I'm very I've always think of the situations that I can be in and what I would do. So if it's for example, if I know I'm on the first floor and he's just sitting at the front door and I know there's a backdoor, I'm gonna make my way to the backdoor and out the front door. So I always know ahead of time, like if this world happened. This is what I would do. Now. If what I think I need to do I can't do, then I'm

just calling it. It is what it is at that point. But I'm just gonna wrap it up. Who on the team is gonna who would be the typical victim who runs away from one of the killers that falls down. It's Gretty, It's Grey Scretty to be the one. Yes, definitely. I think it might be Kite. Yeah, yeah, Agility it's act has a better chance of getting away. Yeah, definitely. I think SCRETTI would be like out of the players.

But if it was out of us, you know, as a team in general, Kite Unfortunately, if you're listening to this, I feel like you might fall victim to the first. Yeah, I think he'd like tramp on it edge or something.

I think you'd probably be kuiding that. That's funny if okay, like how they have the escape room simulator and stuff like that, it'd be if they had like a like a just have Michael pop up and say, hey, yeah, like you gotta you know, you gotta escape, like there's a killer around the house and you gotta try and get out, And that would be fun. That would be intense. Escape room would be fun. I want to do it. General would be fun. I've ever done one. I want

to do one as a team. It would be fun too to see, like to see how each individual would you know, how they process things and how they how they deal with it. My problem would be that I from what I've seen from the Excerberence, I've never done one, but I see you know, there's so many things on the walls that you have to use as clues or like you know, locker combos or whatever it is. I

would think that everything's a damn clue. Like if this logos on the wall, Beck, oh my god, that star man is something like that, Yeah, like a seven, this is a six. It just means something. And then they like, no, that's actually just a bell. Yeah, no, I know what you mean. Like that. Never So when they do though, they give you like a time limit, yeah, an hour. Some of them are like you're trying to escape, and then some of them there's a time limb that you

have to escapeboard. There's like a killer upstairs and you die. It's like like like like that's what like how they try to plant it off at so you have like thirty minutes to get out of here, like stuff like that gas the room and you just see the gas starting. Yeah, start picking off cluth off. And now final question before we start wrapping this up. And since we're on the topic of like scary movie stuff like that Screading Night the other day, watch Jigsaw, which is like, I think

the final movie of this of this series. Um, if you ever woke up and you were in that situation tied up, chains on your feet or whatever it is, let's just go back to the very first one, like the very first Saw where it's based on them in the in the in the what would you call like a bathroom a shower area, and they're chained to their feet and you gotta you gotta, you gotta cut your leg. I'm not doing it. You're not doing it, so you'll you'll just say screwed in this. Yeah. I can do

like you can wrap an old mic. Yeah, I'm just I'm just gonna sit there until I can't. I can do like the acid you know when you put your hand in acid and get the key. I could do that, but none of the cutting myself off, And it's no way I feel like I could do it. You think so right here? Yeah, well, if I want to get out the door, I want to see Tuesday they say, I got put in that room on a Monday. I

gotta do it. I'm what I want. You have to Yeah, you know, I mean like you're adrenaline like, like, obviously if you could put it back, No, your leg's done. You couldn't put it on ice to put it. But we're in We're in twenty twenty. Like, you can get your nice robotic, freaking leg. It'll be fine. I just losing a leg like that, like wouldn't really bother me. Then. I obviously I don't want to lose my leg, but I'm saying you could. You could get a decent looking leg. Yeah,

I'll pass. Just give me another I'll just time out. Put me in a new please, just put me into a new situation. I don't need anything, but obviously i'd take a new situation. But if I had to, I could. I could probably cut my leg off. I think you don't think you could, so you'd rather just sit there. I'd have to find a different way. Do you know there is no way the leg you have to cut the leg. There's a wheel, there's a way, I'm finding something the side cutting my leg though. It's gotta go,

It's gotta it's gotta go. All right, guys, that's enough time. Everybody's gotta be tuning in for the Jordan documentary tonight. I think we're on episode does it four? Now? I think it's four for Jordan? Yeah, I think, oh yeah, right, So that's what I'm like, eight eight night something that all right, but uh, we appreciate you, guys. Mike user pick for Tuck. Thank you for coming by, makes you guys tuoting our games on Wednesday played the Golden State Warriors,

so it should be a good one. Um, Fingers crossed and we'll see you guys next Sunday, guys,
