Episode 008: GTA 6’s $400 “Collector’s Box,” Wolverine on Autopilot, Nintendo vs. Palworld, & The FAA Wants Gamers
Less than 60 days until GTA 6, and Jay and LC are locked in. With a nor'easter keeping LC inside in New York, the guys break down Rockstar's 30-minute extended look, debate whether GTA 6 is a game or a platform, and roast the $400 Vice City "collector's box" that doesn't even include the game. Then they react to Wolverine's autopilot moments, ask what happened to game demos, and dig into Nintendo's lawsuit against Palworld and the FAA hiring gamers as air traffic controllers.

Episode 007: Are Tryhards Ruining Gaming?, GTA 6 Millionaires, “Plantation Simulator,” & The Counter-Strike Monk
Jay and LC reunite in New York City for Episode 007, and there’s a lot to catch up on. Jay talks about his trip to Paris, while LC drops the biggest life update of the podcast so far: he got married and eloped in Italy. Then the conversation jumps into a question every longtime gamer eventually has to face—do games hit differently when you’re in your 30s and have less time to play?
The guys debate whether gamers have become too afraid of “tryhards,” how social media and clip culture changed competitive gaming, and whether GTA 6 can actually dominate their gaming time for more than six months. From there, they get into the push toward an all-digital gaming future, what happens when physical ownership disappears, and why GTA 6’s creator ecosystem could produce an entirely new generation of streamers, builders, and potentially millionaires.
Things take a more serious turn with the controversial “Plantation Simulator” appearing on Steam and the bigger question of what responsibility platforms have to moderate what gets published. Then somehow a Buddhist monk with a roughly $9,000 Counter-Strike knife leads to a surprisingly deep conversation about focus, patience, gaming skills, and how those skills can transfer into real life.
The episode also explores the increasingly blurry line between games and the real world—from GTA 5 being used for FPV drone training to whether military recruitment inside gaming spaces can become predatory. Jay and LC then look back at the games that shaped their music taste, from Madden, NBA Street, Call of Duty montages, Dance Dance Revolution, and Rock Band to Green Day, dubstep, and everything in between.

Episode 006: GTA 6 vs. Call of Duty, Kai Cenat’s "Pivot," The Rise of "Ball & Gun Gamers," & The 12-Year-Old Fortnite Dropout
Happy New Year! We are kicking off 2026 with high energy. Jay and LC swap very different New Year's Eve stories—from a classy art exhibition party to the "terrible experience" of standing in Times Square for 13 hours. We then jump into our 2026 gaming predictions: Will Rockstar finally drop GTA 6, and if so, should Call of Duty just "duck" the competition this year? We also break down Kai Cenat’s controversial rebrand into fashion and wellness, debate the viral "Ball and Gun Gamer" theory introduced by The Black Hokage, and react to the 12-year-old prodigy dropping out of school to pursue Fortnite full-time.
