SIPC. Welcome,

0:55

welcome. Welcome to the show. Oh,

0:57

he's back. Oh, yeah. Oh,

0:59

fuck yeah. I want to record

1:01

show hard. Let's

1:09

watch Ratatouille backwards, but if mouse

1:11

becomes a lonely little shit. I

1:17

don't even know how the fuck I got here. I'm just

1:19

gonna be honest. I just warped and I'm

1:21

here. I actually have to go to Dave

1:23

and Buster's. I'll see you guys later. Bro,

1:25

like here's the reason that I'm just not

1:28

a diehard D&B fan. Okay. And

1:30

it's just simple, Jordan. It's

1:33

simple, man. Why would I go

1:35

and spend money to play video games

1:37

that are all rigged, by the way?

1:39

Yeah, true. In some way or another to play

1:42

games that you can't win unless you get super lucky

1:44

and the code just decides, okay, we'll let you win.

1:46

Why would I do that when I could just play

1:48

video games that I've already purchased for a shitload of

1:50

money and just play them at home for free?

1:53

Because you want to spend more and lose

1:55

more. And I mean this when I say that

1:58

with a thousand tickets, I literally got. The

2:00

widows finger traps and laugh he dappy.

2:03

An old cost me. Fifty. Two

2:05

dollars a day. Masters could get an

2:07

An everyday for free Man your insides

3:38

I know has dual shift Ak

3:40

leaves just a day Wounds a

3:42

gay country Greg A gay Banish

3:44

A gay A it's hard to

3:46

reach a gay A legionnaire. But.

3:48

Now you may call him Jordan

3:51

Legion. Pay. when he began in

3:53

missouri where he quickly wrote the bay

3:55

with his breakout role as a top

3:57

tier best buy employees But

4:00

that didn't last long as the

4:02

in-demand content creators skyrocketed in a

4:05

fade with country Greg, his hip-hop

4:07

country crossover artist, Alias, with his

4:09

signature humor, Wow. Face-milding,

4:12

filters, impeccable impressions, and unpredictable

4:14

antics, legions of force to

4:16

be reckoned with. Damn. Wow.

4:20

And he continues to push the boundaries of gaming and

4:22

content creation. Oh, that's so

4:24

bad. That's so good. Listen, first of all, I've

4:26

never been called a powerhouse. I've never been called

4:28

a force. These are all things that unfortunately on

4:30

my starting the B team for my freshman year football

4:32

team and then quitting to play Halo, my

4:34

sophomore year, I was never called that before, Tyler. And

4:37

listen, man, powerhouse, I'm surprised that didn't make

4:39

it into the gamertag list personally, me personally.

4:41

Powerhouse but with a three for the E

4:43

and a five for the S at the

4:46

end of powerhouse. Also, how did you find

4:48

all of my gamertags, bro, from 15 years

4:50

ago? I got a guy who knows a

4:52

guy, you know, come on, man,

4:54

I'll add the Microsoft mixer deal to you, dude,

4:56

I got connections. Yeah, you do. You

4:59

want to get a little bit, bro? You'll

5:04

miss this. They're bringing

5:06

it back, right? They're bringing mixer back. You'd want not, bro.

5:08

You know, 2.0 mixer, make it

5:10

independent, though. Not owned by Microsoft. We

5:12

might see some promise, right? But unfortunately,

5:15

it's a chapter. Bro, could you buy me a Corolla?

5:17

Like it is a quick question. I know. Yeah. I mean,

5:19

I could buy you wherever you want. Like a 1997 Corolla

5:21

with the gold trim. Yeah. I'd love that. How

5:23

much is it? Right now, I think it's 13.50. Five?

5:29

Oh, you need me for that? They

5:32

run forever, bro. You know what

5:34

I'm saying? I'm a powerhouse, but you don't say

5:36

like my Honda that I had in high school.

5:38

That thing was a trooper over 200,000 miles, man.

5:42

Just built a last really. Wow. Just

5:44

like you. These

5:50

in your windows are getting out of control

5:52

and they're just getting started. We're five minutes

5:55

in. Yes. I feel like I know you.

5:58

I feel like I know pieces of you. But

6:00

I don't have the full story. I don't have

6:02

the full story on full picture man So tell

6:04

6:09

the gamertags was your childhood upbringing

6:12

6:14

debbies, you know what for the sake of

6:17

Content let's go before and after I mean

6:19

6:21

just an innocent child And then once I discovered

6:24

little debbies in an Xbox, it was just all

6:26

uphill slash downhill from there, you know a parade

6:29

Seventh grade. I mean come on man. We were able to grinders,

6:31

you know the vibe some people were on there But I know

6:33

I know a double team for a team service plan wars. We

6:35

were doing it all bro clan wars

6:39

That's you could actually get ranked as

6:42

well like rank time matches without of

6:44

this world your highest rank Was

6:46

probably based off the fact that you snuck into

6:48

a better clan slash team and then they carried

6:50

you to your 40 or whatever Okay.

6:53

Well first I mean, I'm gonna ask you so many questions about

6:55

hill to right now because we're talking about our childhood We're talking

6:57

about your childhood. That is my childhood right

7:02

was your highest rank and Did

7:04

7:13

I've ever been asked so you mentioned my elite shift

7:51

under the radar Oh, yeah, their team ladder name

7:53

7:55

main players were modus and a

7:57

couple of guys I literally forgot but modus is the only one who like I really

8:00

8:05

everyone else called it like ninging right when you jump behind somebody's

8:07

8:15

8:43

how I became ninja and then fast forward like ten years

8:45

later I logged into that same gamer tag and it band

8:50

9:19

favorite songs in the voice that I can do best and So

9:22

we put out a post Malone cover

9:24

and we put out that bank account

9:26

and overnight I became 21 catfish we

9:29

covered 21 sevens bank account and it

9:31

went like Viral

9:33

viral and answer your question. Yes

9:36

country. Greg is coming back. Hell. Yeah, we're gonna be

9:38

dropping bangers We got lots of plans. Let's just say

9:40

a bolo time might be in the works He's

9:42

been in county jail, you know, he's on

9:44

and off girlfriend Connie Let's

9:47

just say that she told him that it was okay to

9:49

steal from the cash register at the Golden Corral as if

9:51

it was Just like a bank borrow system. It

9:53

is not is a federal crime. He's been in jail.

9:55

He'll be back soon Oh my goodness,

9:57

dude, not the corral man No,

10:00

that's incredible, man. Is this on Spotify?

10:02

Bank account is not on Spotify, but it's all over

10:05

on my YouTube channel. Okay. Okay. But we do have

10:07

a couple of the post Malone covers on Spotify or

10:09

country. Greg, you could listen to, we got a lot

10:11

in the works though. I'm actually very excited because there's

10:14

nothing more exhilarating than having my butt crack out in

10:16

a music video and riding a bicycle down my street.

10:18

You know what I mean? There's just something that hits

10:20

different. I would say like prime Legion right there. It's

10:22

prime Legion. You're in your element. I'm in my bag.

10:25

I'm in my bag. And

10:28

there's nowhere else you want to be, man, when you're recording a music

10:30

video. Do you want to be in a music video? I mean, I

10:32

think we have to now at this point. I think it's time. I

10:35

think we should do a theme like where you like be like by

10:37

my house. Well,

10:39

we should do a song called by my house and all wear

10:41

like a blue wig. And then you can actually make a cameo

10:43

appearance in the music video. I can do your theme song for

10:45

you if you want. And honestly, you just name it. You name

10:47

it time. And I'm not kidding.

10:49

Like country. Let's just say I have some trucks

10:52

right around in S dude. Listen,

10:54

I have a Jeep now, bro. And you can have

10:56

your butt crack out in the video too. If you're

10:58

interested. I think I need to get a little thicker

11:00

in order for that to mean something. You know what

11:03

I mean? A crack in your back is still an

11:05

ass. I don't have a crack in

11:07

my back. You don't have a butthole. I have a

11:09

butthole, but it'd be like I'd be like basically mooning.

11:11

OK. You

11:13

know, it would be borderline. You'd

11:17

be mooning. Yeah. In

11:19

order for me to see the crack, you'd have to have the whole ass

11:21

out is what you're saying. I mean, I'm

11:23

getting a little dumpy back there, but I haven't

11:25

checked in a while. Last time I noticed, bro,

11:27

I thought there was enough movement. If you know

11:29

what I'm saying. No, no, no. Oh,

11:32

that'll forever on me for the rest of my life, man. But

11:46

was there first game that got you hooked

11:48

before Halo? Right. What got you into video

11:50

games or was it Halo 2? Gold

11:52

17:49

when i got moved out with they lived here

17:51

when i was best buy same you could how

17:53

it's due to the video games we have very

17:55

very very similar stories man i was working in

17:57

littleton company i was like a prayer and I

18:00

was starting my competitive journey. I don't even think

18:02

I was streaming yet, by the way And I'm

18:04

right drove to a tournament five hours away in

18:06

Ohio. I had someone cover my shift and I'll

18:08

never forget this Nikki She was this new GM.

18:10

She was very strict like super super strict. We

18:12

recently just lost our other GM Who is very

18:14

chill your favorite kind of manager that you're

18:16

just written up for anything and everything Yeah, right. So I

18:18

remember it was like last minute I was going to a

18:20

local tournament luck side text to me and I was like,

18:23

bro, we're gonna frickin just we're gonna win everything We're gonna

18:25

win the TV tournament the 44 tournament all this shit And

18:27

you don't take home like a grand which at the time

18:29

was a shitlet of mo an insane amount of money Yeah,

18:31

especially for like a regional or a local was a ton.

18:33

Yeah, it was a local and it was crazy And

18:36

I remember I was like, okay I got a friend

18:38

of mine who also worked to cover for me, but

18:40

I didn't get it signed off Oh Wow,

18:43

and I'm there at the tournament Wow, it's

18:45

six o'clock. We're like halfway done, right? I

18:47

just won the duos tournament. We're now in

18:49

the process of the four before's and

18:52

I got a phone call She's just like it's kind

18:54

of like you ain't gonna make it. She's just like

18:56

Tyler. Where are you? It's six o'clock and I said

18:58

Vicki is bill not there or whatever his name was

19:02

And then she's like no he's here. I'm just wondering where

19:04

you are. I was like, yeah Well, he's there for me

19:06

I made sure my shift was covered and

19:09

then she just takes a huge sigh and she's like Tyler that

19:11

this isn't gonna work out What and

19:13

I just like hung up on her today? I'm gonna let

19:15

you go and I was like, okay I hung up on

19:17

her won the four before tournament came back home with a

19:19

grand got my last check and basically the same thing was

19:21

Just like, you know, you chose gaming like listen,

19:24

I was six hours away. I'm not gonna fucking make

19:26

this shift not happening So you had it covered it

19:28

didn't give you sit. Yeah She's just one of those

19:30

people that just had me like in complete nutter dominant

19:32

control. She didn't like me She didn't like me as

19:34

well. She liked me which is bad But yeah No

19:36

And then kind of the same thing that picked up

19:38

steam and then I started doing streaming and I was

19:41

going to college and my mom Was like don't quit

19:43

you have to keep going to college I was like

19:45

mom I'm making good money if I

19:47

am on track to make more than $60,000 a year

19:49

like I want to drop out of college and pursue this

19:51

Full-time and that happened fast forward like two to three months.

19:54

I dropped out of the rest of my classes I think I was like my

19:56

second year or some shit dude. I try

19:58

to pacify my parents by still taking courses.

20:00

But what I did was is basically I

20:03

would sign up for movie class. There

20:07

was a film school at my university and so

20:09

I just basically signed up to go to a

20:11

actual movie theater and watch movies. And

20:13

it was like a four-hour course twice a week. So

20:15

it's like... You just bring popcorn and shit and just

20:17

chill? Yeah, it was like popcorn, eat some candy, watch

20:19

a film. Like I'm so close to actually finishing my

20:21

degree which would have been in English. I'm probably like

20:23

a year's worth of college out of the way. But

20:25

I told them, my mom and dad were like, this

20:27

is like very smart. We think it's great that you

20:29

quit your job. Because obviously you're like making up money.

20:31

But once I really started to get deep into YouTube,

20:34

I was like, here's what's happening if I travel and

20:36

I'm not home to go to college. And basically showed

20:38

them, I'm making more money than

20:40

you right now. And they were like, quit college.

20:43

Because they were always supportive of my competitive career even

20:45

though I never did anything with it in terms of

20:47

like going pro and halo when I was a kid.

20:49

And same thing with Call of Duty. I had the

20:52

best parents in the world, man. Super supportive. They

20:54

just wanted me to be smart because they were providing me with

20:56

better opportunities than what they had growing up. Like dad had to

20:59

join the military. They told him he was never going to graduate

21:01

from high school, let alone college. And he did all that. So

21:03

it's like they just wanted to make sure that I was being

21:05

smart with it. And so far it's panned

21:07

out that I quit college and they agree. So that's

21:10

incredible, man. And I think we both did it the right way.

21:12

We set ourselves up, right? There's enough time

21:14

in the day to pursue education. If

21:17

you're willing to put in the time, you can. If you're willing to

21:20

put the time in, you can. No,

21:25

we shot. We just didn't have any idea. You

21:30

know, you can still do a couple of

21:32

college classes, work a part time job, right?

21:34

And do stuff on the side, YouTube videos,

21:36

TikTok content, streaming, whatever, until

21:39

one picks up. And then you can take the risk,

21:41

right? But it becomes less of a risk. And I

21:43

don't think you're hindered if you're doing other things. Tyler,

21:45

I have a hilarious story because you're bringing this up. But

21:48

basically, Kylie, my lovely lady and I were at a thing

21:50

and this couple was talking to us. And I don't know

21:52

if their parents were just really wealthy or what, but they

21:55

asked us what we do. And so we were like, we work

21:57

together on my channel and everything I do. Like I'm a content

21:59

creator, a gamer. streamer. And they were

22:01

like, Oh my gosh, we actually just

22:03

quit our full time jobs to start

22:05

trying to be like,

22:10

you quit your stable

22:12

income jobs to try

22:14

to join a incredibly volatile

22:17

startup market. There's no way.

22:19

I mean, I hope they do

22:21

it. But I'm like, it's exactly what you just said, man.

22:23

Like, you've got to be very smart, right? If school is

22:25

gonna be your route for you, if it's vocational, you're gonna

22:27

be a plumber, you're gonna be working in AC and

22:30

heat and tech, whatever it is, keep doing that until

22:32

it becomes a reality where it makes sense for you

22:34

to actually do the streaming full time because I did

22:36

not quit and you did not quit until we were

22:38

like, all right, you know what? We're at the point

22:40

where this makes sense for me to be like, Hey,

22:42

yeah, I believe in myself enough. The money is there.

22:44

It's present. I'm committing to this. Otherwise, you're gonna be

22:46

like these people that get like 100 subs once on

22:48

their channel. And then they're like, dude, I'm at $300.

22:51

I fucking got this. I'm a send you.

22:53

Baby, I quit my job. You're gonna have

22:55

to go get one. The kids are gonna

22:57

be like, I'm sure. Longevity

23:00

in this is truly self awareness. It really

23:02

is like if you're able to look at

23:05

yourself, self analyze and realize like, Hey, this

23:07

is my limitations. Yeah. And I'm saying at

23:09

the top and at the bottom, bro, wherever

23:11

you're at, you've got to understand where you're

23:13

at and not outpace your life for your

23:15

income. Yeah, it's in order to like legitimately

23:17

succeed. I think there's like a lot of

23:19

realism that has to exist, right? And

23:21

you have to be able to look at yourself and it's

23:23

gonna sound terrible, man. But you have to look at yourself

23:25

and be like, am I talented? You know what I mean?

23:27

Or am I better than these people at what they do?

23:30

All these other already established streamer, you got to work. Yeah,

23:32

I mean, you got to work and you got to have

23:34

something to offer. I think that's the best way to put

23:36

it. You have to have something to offer as a streamer.

23:38

And I mean, it can be anything,

23:40

right? Anything that branched out into like a lot of things

23:42

that I actually wanted to touch on. Love that. You want

23:44

to send me a wig of your hair? Yeah,

23:47

actually, I have a couple extra. Don't

24:06

do to do something that you haven't tried that you want to

24:08

get into. And where do you want to

24:10

take your stream your contents in the future? That

24:12

can be like a longbow combo. You know I'm

24:15

going. Oh gee. We grew up with Lance. Every

24:17

year when called it comes out. I have five.

24:19

Always fly on. And we all play

24:21

31:02

recently rediscovered It and then also probably Super Mario

31:04

64, but I got the three game pack with

to the halo for Dallas exhibition tournament,

31:22

right Played the game before

31:24

anyone else who played it came home and

31:26

went to a local tournament And I lost

31:29

in the grand finals in a free-for-all

31:31

to a Kid that had never

31:33

played the game before because I didn't know how the

31:36

incinerator cannon worked and blew myself up twice when the

31:38

nail And lost so

31:40

while they were giving up prizes cuz I

31:42

got second. I was already the parking

31:44

lot and left It's not

My prize because I was so bad that I

31:50

lost it was like a gift card You know

31:54

would have never done that much but I literally was

31:56

like And

31:59

I just drove home. So yeah. Wow.

32:02

And also like, the humor scene was so tight back then that

32:04

I never heard of this kid. So I was like, how did

32:06

I lose? Right? It was

32:08

crazy. And I honestly, I hope he's a miller

32:10

now. I hope that was his onset. Right? And

32:12

literally, that was his moment. That was when he

32:14

became his main character. Oh, I

32:17

also want to give away that night but was too far back

32:19

to reach the front. So I didn't get the headphones that they

32:21

did in a giveaway. They called my name. I literally could not

32:23

get to the front. Because it was so busy.

32:25

It was just a double. I mean, he was the worst night ever.

good. But like, why? The Tita

33:21

burita crunch is this bro? The Doritos Locos

33:23

Taco. Doritos Loco Tacos exists, right? It's crazy,

33:25

bro. Just crunchy tacos. Unless you're 85.

33:28

I just don't know, bro. You know, it's

33:30

also strange out of any other restaurant in the

33:33

entire world. And maybe this is a Midwest

33:35

thing. I see so many old people to talk

33:37

about. I just don't. It's like, are they like,

33:39

it's made of steel or like they love

33:41

Taco Bell. They just want to have a bowel

33:43

movement. Dude, I got the cheese,

33:45

the grittier crunches with the Doritos nacho shell

33:48

instead of the regular shell. And

33:50

it literally is a game changer. If

33:52

you could bring back one game from

33:54

your childhood for a reboot slash revamp.

33:56

What would it be? Croc. Croc

34:01

Have you ever played that game? How do you

34:03

spell it? C-R-O-C Bro, Croc What

34:05

was it on? What was it on? It

34:08

was on a PlayStation PlayStation 1

34:12

Yes! Oh my god! I fucking love this game!

34:14

Do you remember that game? Yes dude! You

34:17

just unlocked a freaking

34:20

memory dude! What

34:22

a weird one to say immediately You

34:24

did, bro Bro,

34:27

I remember dude The Legend

34:29

of Gubbos Wow

34:32

Yeah Okay, that's it man, Croc I

34:35

love you for that, I love you for that, thank you You're welcome

34:38

Memory unlocked, I love it man That's what this is called,

34:40

dude, that actually, we're changing the name of the podcast to

34:42

Memory Unlocked That's actually an incredible name, and it could be

34:44

a memory card from like the PlayStation that is ejecting from

34:46

the unit Alright, if you had to delete

34:48

all but three apps from your phone, which

34:50

ones would you keep? Gmail and

34:52

all that shit, irrelevant, your messages and

34:54

phone calls I would keep Twitter

34:57

Yes, because I got too many gaming homies, that's

34:59

why I really use it, Twitter versus Twitch It's

35:01

like all my gaming homies are on Twitter, they're coming

35:03

to threads But like, you hit DM on threads,

35:05

yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah So I probably

35:07

say Twitter, I probably say Twitch

35:09

Because I like to watch the homies that stream on

35:12

there On your phone? Yeah,

35:14

I watch on my phone, I never actually watch streams on my

35:16

setup Okay Yeah, which is

35:18

weird Okay, that is Gosh, well I gotta look

35:20

at my phone now, bro, you got me tripping I'd

35:23

have to have my Spotify app if I could only have those streams Love

35:25

that Actually, I take back Twitch, I

35:28

pick TikTok It's gonna be TikTok, Spotify

35:30

and whatever, it's Twitter the first time

35:33

I could live my life that way, I think I wouldn't want to

35:36

Yeah, I wouldn't want to either, but I could though, down in my head

35:39

And then the final question, the question we ask here from all of our guests here,

35:41

man Define

35:44

AFK, and this can be as literal

35:46

or as spiritual of an answer

35:48

as you want it to be Define AFK Yeah,

35:51

Jack Hurds Dunlop after he's drank a

35:53

LaCroix It's just, his

35:55

bladder is so small, he will literally never be

35:57

able to leave The

36:01

bathroom. He's just in there the whole time. He's a

36:03

permanent AFK. What he'll do is like four days a

36:05

week, bro. And this guy is just, I'll be talking

36:07

to him. Next thing I know, bro, he's in a

36:09

pester. I've never met a human being with a tonier

36:11

bladder, this guy. I love that. Or AFK for me

36:13

would be leading the car idling, but somehow it's going

36:15

down the highway and it's just, it's just, okay.

36:18

It's like, how did I do that? You know? And

36:20

then you find out that your car's

36:22

been bumblebee this entire time from Transformers. And

36:25

now it's the best day of your life. It

36:27

was never AFK. It was a sentient experience. The

36:29

entire time it was, it was legitimately a mammalian.

36:32

And it plays like music, bro, but it's just

36:34

playing like, you know what I mean?

36:36

Like just wondering

36:39

why I've always played that song and okay.

36:42

It's starting to make sense. It's all heading up. It's

36:44

all heading up now. And then what are you doing

36:46

your AFK, dude? When I'm AFK, bro, when I'm gone,

36:48

when I'm away from the seat, man, you want to

36:50

know what I'm truly doing. I'm going downstairs and I'm

36:52

stretching, bro. And I'm breathing

36:54

in and a lot of times when

36:56

I step away and I realize that there's a multitude of

36:59

people waiting for me to come back to my seat, I

37:01

think to myself, how would a

37:04

blessing that somebody would actually give a shit about

37:06

my existence enough long enough to wait for me

37:08

to go to the bathroom and come back? That's

37:10

crazy. That's crazy. It's my ball. Well,

37:13

dude, Jordan, I mean,

37:15

37:18
