Jacks reference to his accidental Livestream at the beginning had me laughing haha

Rizzo's cam is giving me 2005 long distance relationship vibes. Another amazing ep with great guests, when massive RL community members are dropping into twitch chat just to watch, you know you are doing something right! Thanks for these Rizzo

Sizz is going pro and signing to a team fr he’s the next jstn 😈.

The bidet section was hilarious 🤣

These have been so good lately man, keep it up! I love watching and listening to them

NRG hasn't even released a video or statement on the release of Sizz that's actually insane to me. You can definitely tell how they handle these type of situations.

Having a live chat during podcasts should be standard.. I can’t tell you how many times I want to comment in podcasts and can’t.. you guys are doing it right

I 100% AGREE with Jack. Nrg needs a new player and if they don't wanna accept it the next season opener will for sure change the roster.

The food conversation was pure chaos 😂

To help with bubble teams, Psyonix should create a ranked club queue that can bleed into qualifiers for RLCS. Have a dedicated three player roster you queue into other rosters for a ranked system. Not sure on other logistics of it, but it would be nice for aspiring pros and casual players.

This is one of the best podcasts I've ever watched

We need retals or ayyjayy on the next one!

Just gotta say as an NRG fan who loves all those guys equally it is pretty nice to see them all stick together and makes me excited to watch them every time. Not a fan of kicking a player the second results are not there. I couldn’t be more excited to see if these guys can figure it all out. If they don’t then fine but how could they know if they just split up and grab a new player. Feels like this is a good story line for the game and fan base and makes me even more of a fan than I was before. I fuckin love these guys

Archie is ruthless, lol.

Archie just going in. You love to see it

i love apparently jack

Banger episode

What are jack and Rizzo laughing at.. looks like they’re trying not to crack up

On a serious note. Ludwig has offbrand which is a company that helps people organize and produce events and shows and stuff. So you could probably hit him up

Wow, this is not the direction I was expecting. Sizz the traveling bidet salesman.

1:20:00 out numbered; food convo. Got me laughing

you call CJCJ a host but in the description it seems like he's a guest 🤨📸

Dunno why they don't have top 1, 2, 3, 10, 50 and 100 seasonal titles for comp playlists.

STL has the best water, tap is like fiji, shoutout anheuser busch for the filtration system

🔥

I agree that NRG needs to make a roster move in order to make any forward progress and I also understand why it's so hard to feel like you're upgrading when your roster is 3 of the GOATs but I think that a split brings fresh motivation to all involved, new perspective and a different playstyle. When this current roster is peaking they can compete with anyone but they're so up and down and I don't see it changing any time soon. Also Sizz is going to find success with whatever the fuck he chooses to do but it is for sure a sad break up.

“Staying at my house 2 weeks ago” that man knew then that you were going and he didn’t say anything and stayed at your place….crazyyy

"the one dude who won the fortnite world cup" Bugha lol

imo, NRG hit the downward spiral when they decided to change their style after losing to bds in the major

I love the League of Legends content

37:40 Johnny choose violence

Ad. 1 of 80.

Format I would like to see at LANs: 2 groups of 8. Everyone plays 7 opponents in their groups Bof5 (2 matches Tuesday, 2 matches, Wednesday, 2 Thursday, 1 Friday + any necessary tiebreakers). Top 4 in each group make it out. Then, you have single elimination bracket all Bof7, however, do NOT make it 1v8,2v7,3v6,4v5 for first round. Make it 5v8 and 6v7 for first round. Winner of 5v8 plays 4. Winner of 6v7 plays 3. Then winner of 5/8v4 plays 1 seed. Winner of 6/7v3 plays 2 seed for Semis. Winners of those 2 play in the Finals. Reasons to do this: It gives everyone plenty of chances to play their way through into the bracket and avoids "mickey groups/brackets" by having 7 group stage matches. This format also rewards the winners of each group by giving them a double bye in the bracket and the runners up in each group a single bye. It gives all teams a reason to try their best all the way through the group stage. It also gives all teams traveling to LANs at least 7 matches. I think it's absurd that in the double elimination format that some teams will fly across the world to only play two Bof5s and that's it. I understand this format probably does't work for online play in the regionals for the FRI-SUN schedule since that would likely be too many matches to cram in, but for Majors, I think this works very well.

an idea for the pod: Shift the panel to one side and enlarge chat so we can read it 👍

when rocket league convo turns into actual poop talk nahhhh

At 1:03:30, cj tried so hard to force a certain answer but then kept contradicting or back peddling

As an older viewer of this podcast, I would like to see an episode with the parents that we see. BeastMilf, RetalsDad, Joyo's Mom etc. I met a several of the parents at Dreamhack Atlanta a few years back. I would like to hear them discuss (candidly) about how this process has been. Kids becoming businessmen immediately?

Not gonna lie, no clue why they haven't added a 1v1 freestyle playlist. Freestylers won't guard each other's shots, so they get what they want. It's a separate playlist so silvers get what they want. It doesn't split the playerbase because the silvers aren't gonna go to the freestyle playlist, and freestylers shouldn't be in the regular playlist at lower mmr. They could separate the mmr from normal casual mmr and the freestylers will probably self-regulate who wins or maybe just not care since the clips are the real victory anyway.

No one ever says they want uk/Australian cuisine lol.

RLCS is simply not big enough to promote/fund a proper bubble scene. It has to be community driven at the moment, which could still work to put eyes on players that can then be poached by RLCS teams. The only thing that is going to change that, long term, is putting all effort into RLCS and not dividing resources for bubble teams.

1:22:37 👀 this won’t get read but I wish I knew if this actually happened

Bro upload it on google podcast yooo.....

Bruh never invite archie to a podcast ever again lol

... am I spoiled in the southwest US? Is the food in the rest of the country really that bad? I know the food in LA is quite bad on average, no matter what anyone says, but these guys have all been in a few cities by now.

swiss>

Just got to the part Where Jack says the food in Toronto is bad. Lol dude hasn't even left his airbnb clearly XD. Toronto has some of the very best food in the world

Idk how you define “good” but according to eu pros on this podcast there’s like 2 or 3 good teams in the whole world

1:12:59

i cant think of even a sit down resteraunt that dont offer like steamed broccoli or somthing like that as an alternative to fries, i think british people just dont know how to read a menu lmao

Ads are horrendous ffs

Love cj but he seems like he is interviewing the guests and makes the format very rigid instead of a chill conversation

Johnny boy - "social credit score is a great idea!"

Holy moly, finally agreed with something Johnny saidddddddd omggggGGGgGGGg

Psyonix should donate like alpha boost or other rare items for bubble tournament prize pools, it'd be free for them and bubble players would want rare items

From a fans perspective, RLCS needs to just pick a format and stick with it. It's confusing. It's hard to build hype and anticipation when I don't even know the implications of a match because it's just.. different every time.

Ngl, johnny CONSTANTLY talking over jack is obnoxious as hell. Jack seems too polite to try and keep talking when he does it so instead we get another two minutes of johnny talking nonstop.

I truly do not believe that the purpose of freestyling in a lower casual mmr is to feel some sense of superiority. I used to trick shot in COD and there are a lot of similarities here. The biggest being that it appears to be solely about the clips themselves and the standards that the community has set. The community has set these standards for clips and that includes being in an online match and having a defender. In COD they used to have the last man alive setup in order to make it easier for the other team to hit something. You could say they should do it in a private match but that wasn’t what was acceptable at the time. Doing it in a private match invalidated the value of that clip. Setting up was the standard up until people in the community that were highly respected and influential(FaZe)decided that wasn’t how it should be, so setting up died off and was something you could actually be exposed for doing(invalidated the clip). It’s interesting because with setting up the standards became so impossibly high that the fun slowly dried out. That was until it became unacceptable and people started to try and clip on people that were trying their best. My point is that if freestyling is anything like trickshotting(which I believe it is), then playing in low rank casual lobbies is not for some sort of superiority, but rather is a product of a community of individuals who have gradually created such high standards for clips that they are nearly impossible to be hit in ranked(and they aren’t allowed to do them in private match without that clip losing value). Overall, this change may actually cause a major positive shift in the freestyling community where standards become lower as the comp clips become the standard. Just my thoughts on the subject, not a freestyler so correct me if I’m wrong. Also, wrote this on my phone so I’m sorry if it’s not the most logical and easily digestible.

Some nuance about the Freestyle thing. If you tank 1000mmr on purpose, yeah get fucked. What I don't understand is everybody saying they should only do it in ranked or private matches... like let a guy live... It should be fine to chill in casual and fuck around and lose some games like when did that become illegal in the eyes of the community? Also Johnny saying the only reason Freestylers are low rated is because they wanna clip on noobs is the most disgusting slander I've heard so far. Makes you wonder whether he's ever even seen or talked to one before. Edit: Bruh so painful to listen to somebody's opinion on how Freestyle tournies should be run when the only one they've seen is the one at Worlds smh

damn I do not like archie. He tries too hard to be like, unapologetic and blunt. Way overconfident too.

Johnny is out here keeping the esport down while thinking that he's promoting

I guess the difference with rocket league is people don't follow orgs like they do in other esports. If people followed for the org in RL then I would say of course the org gets the money from their decals but that's not how RL works. NRG would fall off so quick if they had to get a bubble team or even a under top 8 team

No offense to sizz but he was the one to change before the players. No one wants to see them break up so they have to try the 1 other option first

Just found out apparently Jack went to the college I’m going to wtf

That's the thing. RLCS has been held at a decent city yet. Plus Europeans are scared to walk out side to grab a water down the block. Idk I stay at random hotels all the time and can at least walk to a gas station to grab some drinks. Fortworth was a shit location for food variety. They could of had it in LA but I understand the busy schedule. But even on Uber eats, a lot of actual restaurants are open until 12-2am. You can get lazy dog and the really solid or BJs. At least in LA
