 What's up, YouTube? This is the needed pockets episode 92 man in this. I mean, you know, I I'm at a crossroads right now. I talk about crossroads a lot chat I talk about it a lot when madden like if you want to be good or you want to be bad or you want to be a Complainer I talk about the crossroads, right? I'm gonna crossroads in my content career, I guess or my mental my Mindset right chat. That's where I'm at my mindset For my my purpose my purpose not be honest chat as we get into this podcast right here As we get into the get into the get into the get into the what is up? What is up? What is up? Listen, I don't have no I don't have no intro. I don't have enough. Let's just get right to the shits He myself, right? I love madden, right? 1 million percent Like it is probably my biggest passion in life because football Madden is a simulation of football no matter how far you want to stretch that word Or how you want to take that word if you want to take that how literal you want to take that word It is a football simulation. We all grew up football fans You know, I'm a mad fan because I'm a football fan and I think that speaks for 95 to 100 percent of madden players Like we are pure bread football fans I hope chat you guys can agree with that and youtube you guys can agree with that Like we are football fans before everything right my favorite players Growing up was um Peyton Manning. I think all of us honestly Chat now you guys agree. I think everybody that watches football At some point had the utmost respect for Peyton Manning, right? Peyton Manning is probably like one of the few people that nobody can hate Peyton Manning, right? I feel like Peyton Manning is like that everybody has Respect for Peyton Manning do it the line and make hot routes and everything and just Dissect the defense and call the right play at the right times is what separated him from every other quarterback at the time You know and so that and our opportunity to try to be kind of like Peyton Manning Was playing madden, you know and uh one thing I always wanted madden to grow and I I've always felt like this This is how I've always felt if I could just sit down and explain why I love madden and why I enjoy it so much that I could make anybody else feel the same exact way Long as they're a football fan, they have an open mind I feel like I could explain it and I could open people's minds To why I love the game so much and I feel like if they saw what I saw and they enjoyed what I enjoyed They would like madden just as much as I do Since I've gotten uh more into the community and more into the world essentially um, it's always been Something that I felt like you know what this is something I want to do I want to make people see competitive madden. I want to make people see the nuances of the game I want to make people see uh what the naked eye doesn't see You know what the what the casual doesn't see. I want to help people see that I want to help people love this sport that we all have a passion for right Honestly in this position that I I have put myself in as a a madden content person, right? I still feel like it is my biggest passion Is to make people understand What makes competitive man great no matter what the year may be Whether it be this year and this year was terrible for the competitive side. It was terrible You know and it's it is and it's honestly probably one of the harder ones to explain to people You know and and but I still feel I could do it first anybody You know, I could do it for anybody. I could if someone is open minded I just feel like I have so much passion in it, but I've also Felt like it's one of my jobs to kind of bring these two groups together as best as possible No other game has this big of a disconnect between the fans I don't think there's like I feel like call duty every call duty player looks up to the competitive side Like I feel like madden is not that way one. It's already a small game Uh and then to split the viewership is rough So I feel like bro. I'm in a position to really Kind of open each side's eyes To the other side of the madden fan hood like to try to bring these two groups together That's always something I feel like man. I could do that. Oh and this week. I was just absolutely exposed to The most close minded just ignorant angry people in the world I have just never seen these people this mad about something That at the end of the day chat At the end of the day the xbox has a button that you can turn this shit off There are so many activities a human being can do in their lives that if this is making you this miserable Why are you why are you why are you mad about it? The exception that we have is that it's the franchise guy. I mean, I think the franchise guys are I think they're super bots. I I do think they're bots, but I feel like they're an important part of the community I don't think they're ignorant. I just think they're bots because this is how I feel like if you were good at the game Right say you were the best person in the cfm, right? I'm the kid of you know, john and tom cfm and I'm kicking their ass At some point you kind of get curious like bro. Maybe I could win some money because I'm so good, right? So I feel like if you're never curious of that if you're never attempting to get to that, I just feel you're a bot That's just that that's just kind of how I feel Absolute right now this guy this guy ryan moody this this guy no I have never the only time I have had any interaction with this human being In my four years or whatever of being in the madden community at this level It has always been something negative It has always been talking negatively about another person or madden in general There has never been an ounce of talent from this man an ounce of positivity from this man an ounce of anything credible Other than absolute pure Negativity either on another person or the game. That's it Oh, and I feel like I honestly feel like me I'm at the spot that I'm at because I am talented in so many areas You know and for someone to have the only thing they can do is talk negatively And rile up an angry mob that also is that mad at their life and that's that mad at their situation It's easy to do You know, if that's the way you have to go about it. I mean What are you really bringing to the table? The biggest question I've gotten in the last four years or at least right The last four years the biggest question I have gotten is how do I compete? Because what these what these sim guys or these angry angry human beings Don't realize that there is a a plethora Of players that look at me that look at kiv and drinny and joke and say this game changed their lives Right this game changed their lives. The money they won has changed their lives. How can I do that kids men? Everybody plays men that think that how can I do that? And that becomes their goal rather than shitting on their game They're trying to figure out. How can I help this? I'm good at the game How can I get to the level where it changes my life? How can I get there? There is such a group of people that want that and those are the people that continually ask me How do I compete? So I think to myself because I'm talented and I don't need to always talk shit on something Or someone to get people to listen to me. I think you know what? How can I help all these people at once? It was one of my most successful videos in the off season of men Me myself who's not the biggest youtuber in the world. I got 10,000 people to watch this video and show me a Magnitude of support a magnitude of support and for me I was excited because man this could start a little serious for me and everything and this guy Mr. Negative angry nothing absolutely nothing Positive that he brings to the table says you know what? Let me tear that down because I need people to listen to me because they're not going to listen to my life They're not going to listen to my day. They're not going to listen to what I can do They're just going to listen to who I can shit on and who I can rile them up to get mad at because they're also mad Just like me. So he says you know what? I'm going to take this video and I'm going to spin it any way I like This is my video now. Now it has 340 dislikes. I don't think I have 340 dislikes in my entire Catalog feeling like literally it's impossible to talk to these people It's impossible to it's impossible to bridge The two communities together. That's what it made me feel like honestly mad and mobile I turned on mad mobile today and I honestly was disgusted that people play that. I don't know how anybody ever plays that How can one man do that to another person? I have never had the heart Or like the mind To do that to just absolutely degrade somebody's thoughts and and and work like that, you know I just feel like I honestly feel like it's the most disgusting thing another human being can do really I When somebody's work anybody's passion to absolutely degrade it in order for people to look at you Is honestly the most despicable thing a human can do. I really truly believe that Look, this person's working hard. They're accomplishing something. Let me tear that down to get people to look at me That is an absolute scumbag. Seriously Even somebody like clint bro like he you act like clint doesn't care You know Talking to a target audience. My target audience was when million percent clear I was clear as day about the target audience But yet no, let me tear this down because listen People have no reason to look at me. I am a talentless fuck And people have no reason to look at me So let me give them a reason by trying my best to tear someone else down That is just the absolute pit of just Just despicable human being but we go from playing like scrubs to playing good if we're not try hard You try hard I I'm listen at the end of the day. I feel like Ryan is I mean, I guess he's not super ignorant But I asked him to be on a show. He said he has his own podcast and he's not allowed to do other shows We may talk and record it or something I don't know what he was saying, but he could not join the show because he was like I have a deal where I can't be on other shows I I mean, I wasn't gonna beg him honestly. Really. That wasn't my biggest deal. Honestly top like listen This is my listen my arc is this way My arc will always be going up. You know why because I don't need to talk about another person I don't need to talk about negative shit because everything I got going on is positive And it's my own talent and my own effort So my arc is here. It will steady to be here as long as I want my arc to go this way It will go this way His arc is one million percent Dependent on other people. He can talk bad about it and madden talking bad about it One million percent dependent on talking about other people Whereas me I don't need to talk about anybody else in the world Shit, I don't even need madden to be good I'll play jacks on stream and we'll have fun period I was doing the cfm nerds and and the angry people. I feel like they're they're completely different people See if i'm nerds or just bots bro and bots are good because bots have good hearts And you guys make because listen, I pta you know this you watch me play a real game I am literally a bot at every other video game that I play It's kind of like me legit complaining about call of duty, right? I have zero place to say what's good and bad and call of duty or good and bad in mlb I honestly feel like I have zero place to that because i'm not good enough to tell other people what's bad and good And call of duty. I'm a bot, right? I go to shoot somebody they start jumping and sliding I feel like I can't bitch about that It's not real, but he just shit on me, right? So I know what it's like to be a bot That's why honestly What's crazy? I am in the I'm in the weirdest position in gaming because I know what it's like to be an absolute bot And I know what it's like to be elite And as an elite man and player when I hear the bots talk That I had that reference when I talk about other games I don't ever want to sound like the bots when it comes to other games I never want to put a tweet out like yo man hitting is way too hard in mlb They got to change something because I know what that sounds like on the flip side So I got both sides and I have both sides of the argument Like I literally know what you guys sound like when you're bots So I don't complain about a game that I suck at I don't because I know I suck at it And I probably would like it better if I was good at it That is the ultimate question to all these mad men or the ultimate statement, man You would like the game so much more if you were good at it period Nobody likes something they're bad at Right shit and my ass kicked on mlb. I was having zero fun today I didn't like it because I'm not good at it golf You want me to go golf to my daddy, but you want to go golf in this hell? No, you know why I suck at it So it makes me hate it. I say this game is stupid as shit Why the hell am I hitting this little ass ball around and I start saying the game sucks? Seriously because I'm so bad at it For real golf is stupid as hell. Why would I want to play this dumb ass game? I don't even have any teammates stupid ass rules. Why can't I hit it twice? If I am saying why I got to use a putter? Why can't I use a driver? I start saying stuff like that Right and that's seriously how the bots sound about madden because they're not having fun because they're not good at it Y'all like anything you're not good at seriously I'm not good at sex, but I still like it Jesus Seriously, that's how golf is that's literally how golf is for me. I suck at it. Do I want to play it? No, do I think the game is stupid? Yes Right. I mean, I don't really think the game is stupid. I think it's an amazing game and I watch it a lot You know, it's it's it's super impressive to me because I can't hit the shit at all It's a game. I pretty much have given up on my life because I'm that bad at it You know, and I think everybody is bad at golf. Nobody just hops on a golf course and goes off their first couple times It just doesn't happen Rich, how about this rich if madden 20 didn't have run plays. It might be the best game ever Madden cfm is like Madden cfm is like golf where you could throw the ball instead of hit it with a club I've been doing my best. I've been doing my best to try to keep these podcasts. I want to try to keep these under an hour Um going into madden 21. It's going to be tough, man. Once we start talking. It really goes, man Do you guys do honestly? You guys know me? I play video games. Like I really do. I draw Right. What other hobbies do you guys have? And I want to know do you guys spend any time or money on your hobbies? Like and this is what's nuts to me is that how can Seriously, how can People ridicule other grown men for spending money on something they enjoy as much as video games No skiba no dudes could compete at the game with sim. No fucking chance if they came up with sim rules kiv joke skimbo uh problem me Wesley Everybody would still be tough. It that shit is not saving a single bot in the world There is no sim rule that is saving anybody in the world Because if you're that fucking good at the game, why would you just play sim when there's a million dollars to win? One you're not that good or two you have a bitch ass mindset And that person will never be good hate when people think that sim rules would change who's good at madden It wouldn't even come close. Honestly, you guys would be worse It would make it would make kiv and joke and and ghosts and these guys that much better Seriously, they would beat the shit out of y'all even worse. I promise you guys that keo, what if the game was hard? What does hardcore sim? Oh, so with some of your bot friends would score on joke if it was hardcore sim. What the fuck is that? Yo, what? Which which one of your tommy bananas is going to score on joke on hardcore sim? What the fuck is that? I don't understand how bad the bots are and how good the You know some of the best man players are and in 21 is starting. What could I do cfm wise to prove you guys? To prove to you guys that you know, we would be good on any mode Would you guys watch me play a sim cfm where I could only run? I have like played cooldowns and punt on fourth down. Like do you really think like like seriously? Is it work because honestly, I would do it I would do it because I think it would be fun I really do if it was a committed cfm. I really would but I don't know how Do do they have defensive cooldowns? Like, you know, you can't run cover two Like teams the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ran cover two every play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ran like nickel normal cover two every play Goings 1 million percent. There's nothing wrong with being a bot bro bots are 98% of video gamers bots are me Watch me play call duty tonight I'm gonna be hyping shit for the download to have to get killed more than I kill. That's what's gonna happen I'm gonna have a I'm gonna be like a pig in shit tonight playing call duty Just going out there getting blasted because that's what gamers are. We're all bots honestly Bots bots run the video gaming world. They really do Mutt is an arcade mode and it doesn't mean you're good at all Gua moi moi Gua moi with my name. I agree man. And that's why they have this tournament It's called the madden classic dude. You show up you play with regular teams from the the from the game Downloaded the regular teams, you know the regular NFL players on their specific rosters you play with that And you can win a belt that way So unless you show the fuck up for that tournament with your controller in your hand I literally will never hear that complaint from anybody I literally hate that complaint unless you were at that tournament If you were at that tournament and you were regs head and you grind regs because they're out there No dudes are tough and you can listen to them But at the end of the day if you didn't show up for that tournament I don't want to hear you complain And jesse and that's what jesse says here goes jesse people didn't know about the mcs And that leads me back to why I made the video in the first place. Here we go. We came full circle jesse We came full circle Let me tell you guys something where this moody guy is and where I'm going is completely different levels Listen by the end by this time next year Every little number every little analytic will be over in every little atmosphere at like it Blown away and you guys see it 2k signs of deal with the nfl. Well, listen, I will get both games and I will play the shit out of both games and we will have fun That's a lot on my plate, but I have a big-ass plate right here, but I can handle the big-ass plate. All right This guy like Wesley g you see him. He's just a fucking nerd. He sits in the house and runs a bunch of million times a day Wesley g Do you guys do you guys think the mcs promotion is trash? Do you guys think that The bots hate everything. Wesley. They hate bunch. They hate running. I don't know what they like I don't know what the bots would like bro The bunch argument made me more mad now this year This year all people have to say to me is that people run with people one with a pun in a quarterback And honestly, I had to kind of shut up because they're right. That was bad, you know But the bunch of years I would have went to war with anybody. They're all idiots Do you think any of that? I agree. Obviously, I agree the mcs promotion could be a lot better Um, do you guys feel like any of that burden falls on the players or it is not their responsibility? I feel like with all the work I've done in problem and and I joke doing a little more work now If we all made the same event, it would pop a little bit more because we're so much more uh recognizable, right? You know, how I realized there was competitive men I guess I was I don't know. I guess I was always kind of in that loop since I started playing like an oh wait Competitively a little bit. I guess I was always like in the loop. Obviously the runs sucked this year but after watching it at the highest level I kind of Began as I understood The run game more and trying to defend it. I kind of Enjoyed it more as the year went on if that makes any sense or talks about How EA spends more money on the veal production than the prize pool and my only one who doesn't give a shit about production Yes, Bob Sacramento. I think the production is important. I think the production is very good at EA, bro I feel like mad 1718 was huge too. Maybe because me and problem were in it I don't know. Maybe we're just that we're just that much better than these wesley's and shit Maybe me and problem really are just that much better than wesley and shit I guess takeaway from the whole show is man. I just like I still will always have a passion to try to teach people why Man at the highest level is entertaining and why it's not The cheese and all this and mutt is taken. You know, I feel like The negative look is just I can I feel I can change that anybody, you know, and and You know, if it's that negative, why do you do it? And also man? It just goes to like How do you approach any situation that you're in? Do you approach it approach it? Which is utmost negativity and anger and and close minded just hatred if you don't like it Or are you open-minded and a positive person? You know in what type of energy you bring into everything that you're doing life You know, if you're mad at mad and you're goddamn mad at your alarm clock that you have to wake up on Tuesday morning every day, right? How are you going to approach? You know your first hour at work the next day if you're that mad at are you going to approach it? How you approach madden, you know, and what type of energy are you bringing? Are you that person that's completely mad about somebody's opinion that doesn't affect your life at all? You know what I'm saying? And that's essentially My biggest takeaway from this week in madden honestly And I just hope I just hope that Maybe one of the mad people are out there. You know what? I'm going to go ahead and get a better attitude and really Try to be a little bit more positive even if it's about something That I don't enjoy at all. You know, and if I don't enjoy it at all You know, I'm not going to let it have that big effect on my life Anyway, man, this was the show make sure you hit the like button and honestly the yard is going to be popping So get your six ready To play my six I am dedicated to have the best yard team in the madden community madden 21
