Sega Delists Games, Sony's Kadokawa Partnership, Gaming Music Nostalgia,NBA Basketball Mascot talking a PS5 from a kid and much more.
Ever missed out on a game you wanted to play? Sega's recent decision to delist several games from major platforms like Steam, Xbox, Switch, and PlayStation has sparked heated discussions in the gaming community. We explore the ramifications for those who didn't get a chance to grab these titles and what it signifies for the industry's future. Adding more layers to the gaming world, we then shift to Sony's bold $300 million partnership with Kadokawa Corporation. As Sony becomes the largest shareholder, we unravel how this alliance could revolutionize anime, TV, and gaming collaborations on a global scale, leveraging Sony's ownership of Funimation and Crunchyroll.
Have you ever felt nostalgic listening to the soundtrack of your favorite video game? In this episode, we stroll down memory lane, celebrating the iconic music of classic games like Ultra Beast, Crazy Taxi, and Streets of Rage. If you've ever had a game night to Nintendo's vast music library, you'll know the charm it brings. We also get excited about upcoming fighting game releases, including Mortal Kombat, Tekken, and Street Fighter, while speculating on potential revivals like Toe Jammer Earl and Shinobi. Music is a gateway to our gaming past and future, and we revel in its power to invoke cherished memories and inspire new adventures.
Finally, we share an amusing tale involving the Charlotte Hornets mascot, Hugo, and a 13-year-old fan's rollercoaster experience with a PlayStation 5 gift. Initially left disappointed, the young fan's story took a turn for the better, eventually receiving the actual console and a VIP game experience. We critique the team's initial flub, emphasizing the importance of authenticity in corporate gestures. As we wrap up, we reflect on the goodwill that genuine giveaways foster among fans and reaffirm our commitment to delivering engaging and entertaining content to our listeners.

Let's do this. Welcome everybody to another episode of the Game of Traffic Show. I'm your host, mike Samson Chillin' with my co-hosts. If you're amazed how I'm doing today, everybody get up for Mr Amazing. On today's Game of Traffic Show, we're going to talk about Sega delisting several games a couple of weeks ago. Damn, mr Amazing. I hope you got those games before you got delisted. Probably not, probably not, but I probably have them prior, though. We're also going to talk about a movie being re-released this month Not re-released this month, but coming soon, okay, to theaters. We're also going to talk about Mr Mazin Music from two major video game companies coming to you the consumers, is already out already, but there's some coming to vinyl.
Speaker 1:So hey, everybody get ready to order it, but today we're going to talk about Sony finally making not a purchase, but Mr Amazing going to it.
Speaker 2:Yes, Sony making a new partnership. So Sony and Kadokawa have. Sony has invested. I hope he's pronounced that correctly. I want to pronounce that correctly $300 million investment deal to become the largest shareholder of Kadokawa Corporation.
Speaker 1:And we go to have stock shares. They have 15 million no, sorry, 12 million stock shares of this company, which is a 10% stake in the company, mr Amazing's head. Yes, the largest one. Yes, it is. And the project? What's included in this, mr Amazing? It includes anime, tv shows, co-producing anime and co-producing video games, and also helping out with finding talent with Sony. Do your partnership to get talent together, whether it's for video games, anime and movies or TV shows.
Speaker 2:And the goal of that is for Sony will help extend Katowaka's IP to a global audience. So that's a win-win for both parties. And, like you said about the anime, two of the biggest anime streaming services, which is Funimation and Crunchyroll, which I own one of them.
Speaker 1:And which Sony owes both of them.
Speaker 2:They owe both of them.
Speaker 1:But you don't own them, mr Mace. You're a subscriber, I'm a subscriber. You don't own them. I'm a subscriber. They gave my money monthly.
Speaker 2:So, yeah, I so this is a win-win for both teams and I think it's going to be a big media powerhouse.
Speaker 1:A big media powerhouse because they got gotcha as far as games. They got gotcha games. They were created of many RPGs. I think they have many RPGs for Nintendo. I forgot which one, I can't remember off the top of my head. They also form software, as you know, for Dark Souls, yep, elden Ring. Elden Ring, which is off the chain sales Yep and Acquire Corp, best known for making Mr Amazing what Octopath? Octopath yep Yep, octopath Traveler, and also Spike Kung Soft, which is known for Dragon Ball, spark and Zero Great sales. So it's a lot of stuff they can look forward to. Like I said before at Off Air, I think this is a better acquisition if they did this $5 billion, if they went all out and paid $5 billion for this company. It's a lot better than Bungie. It's better.
Speaker 2:Because you get games and movies and TV shows and TV shows. Yeah, Because this one? Because when we spoke about this originally a few episodes back, we were talking about an acquisition, but it's more investment. But to acquire it, the ballpark was about 4.3 billion, so it would have been a little bit less than what they pay for Bungie.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and different streams of revenue.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:So the Bungie acquisition now, bad because, like I said, I've been into the Kool-Aid because they're the big maker of Halo and Destiny, but come to find out it was all hype enough and no substance hey, we should learn our lesson.
Speaker 2:We'll see what happens to Halo, but remember they are the king of Halo.
Speaker 1:They are so the new people running Halo 345 Studios, 343, 343 Studios, but now they changed it.
Speaker 2:Yeah so the new people who are running Halo 345 Studios and of course.
Speaker 1:Sorry, 343 Studios, but now they changed it. This is the name. Yeah, I forgot, it's called Halo Studios. Whatever they call it now.
Speaker 2:Whatever it is, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:This make good games. I don't care. You change the studio's name. You're making crappy junk.
Speaker 2:It's a good game buddy.
Speaker 1:That's it. So you think, grandpa, halo, you know, but you make it a good game. Nobody cares. That's true, nobody cares. But, mr Amazing, what else you think about this?
Speaker 2:I love it. I love everything about it, everything you stated I love about it. I think, like you said, this should have been the purchase over Bungie. This is one I think Sony's eventually my gut feeling that they are going to eventually buy them out.
Speaker 1:I think it's they're gonna it's a great marriage and it won't be a hostile takeover, because the company did want.
Speaker 2:Sony to buy them out. Yeah, they want it, so it's not a hostile takeover like you said, so I think it's gonna work well you know, unlike Ubisoft, where it might be a hostile takeover because I think Tencent is trying.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so that'll be a hostile takeover, Exactly you know. Hopefully Ubisoft will find some luck with the new Assassin's Creed and hopefully other games will come out.
Speaker 2:That's coming out soon.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I believe February correct.
Speaker 2:Not those V-Day. Yeah, February 5th is that day.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so we'll see with the gaming news as far as acquisition, but, mr Amazing, yes, sir, we going on to Sega delisting several games, removing 74 games from Steam, xbox and Switch and PlayStation, which happened last month, mr Amazing, do you? Want to tell the games that were included.
Speaker 2:I mean, I can name some of the games. I mean the thing is that 74 games is a lot of games, yeah, but the thing is it's weird because it's 74 games but each system is doing a certain game. Yeah, because it's 74 games, but each system is doing a certain game. Yeah, because they broke it down. I don't have it down by the system. Maybe you do so. You have a better layout than I do, but some of the games are like fan favorites, like Crazy Taxi, what was it again? Ultra Beast, ultra Beast.
Speaker 1:Golden Axe, your joint. Now I play Ultra Beast I. I'm like this is garbage.
Speaker 2:Ultra. I'm like okay, this is garbage. I'm sorry. I remember that was like the hottest thing in the. What year was this? Probably like 91, maybe.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and you got Sonic Shinobi, sonic the Fighters.
Speaker 2:What the hell is Sonic the Fighters? I don't even know what that one is. I don't know what that one is. Streets of Rage there, or Streets of Rage? Streets of Rage, there's various ones.
Speaker 1:two different entries of that Virtua Fighter or Virtua Fighter 2, space Harrier 2, streets of Rage 1, 2, 3.
Speaker 2:A lot of these games are going out but my thing is, and the crazy thing is, they didn't provide a reason why you know a reason why they're revamping a lot of these games exactly the fan speculation is that they're like Mike said, they're revamping it and they're going to bring out new bundle pretty much.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they're going to bring out new games. Like Jess said, more radio.
Speaker 2:Yeah, exactly Streets of Rage. Exactly.
Speaker 1:That's exactly why you can work on new stuff, virtual Fighter Exactly.
Speaker 2:But oh, we got to make it clear. So people are like, oh, stop, I'm going to lose my stuff. No, no, you're not. If you made these purchases already, you're not losing it.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, you still have it, you can re-download it whatever.
Speaker 2:It's just that you can't purchase it anymore.
Speaker 1:I mean number seven happens, so too bad, you didn't get it too bad yeah you're right. Crazy Taxi. They probably made that live service game.
Speaker 2:Yeah, definitely. That's a very popular game. I love that game.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so I have it for PlayStation 2. I bought it recently.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's a very fun game. I played that game left and right.
Speaker 1:Recently I bought it for PlayStation 2. You know so, as especially the digital age games go away. Yeah, if you don't got physical copy of these games, too bad, yeah see, this is why I like my physical.
Speaker 2:This is why I like my physical man. But that's just me. I'm old that's.
Speaker 1:I mean, that's the way it is. I mean a lot of games I think. What is it? Castlevania V, if I'm saying, if I'm saying, if I'm that game I wanted to get physical, but it's not physical, I just buy it digitally. So I really I really want to buy the game, but also I want a physical copy of the game. But most likely I'm probably not going to get a physical copy of the game on this limited run. Limited run does it? So I'll probably just get the digital and get it over with. Okay, just pay the full price for it and get. I've been very interested about and I mentioned it last year too. That's a game I'm really really interested in. So you might as well y'all put the money down, get it over with.
Speaker 2:Why not?
Speaker 1:So, mr Mays, anything you want to say about this.
Speaker 2:No, but I look forward to these new bundles coming out.
Speaker 1:What do you mean? Bundles?
Speaker 2:The new games the new games. The new games Are we going to bundle these games, the new games coming out, I should say. But we actually requested.
Speaker 1:Yeah, which franchise has the most to lose? We'll say okay, okay, maybe listed. Yeah, if they come back, we'll say, okay, streets of Rage Do we have a Streets of Rage game? That came out?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I got that that's a regular game.
Speaker 1:So they're going to redo another, they're going to make another one coming out.
Speaker 2:Okay, so let's say Street Race Series, virtual Fighter. That's not going to work Because that's the newest coming out anyway.
Speaker 1:What do you think? Which franchise do you think will have the most success? For those three? I'm going for. Those three have the most success.
Speaker 2:Can I not count Sonic, that's Mario, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:I didn't worry about that. So wait what is your question exactly, because I don't think I can explain it. Which thing will have the most success? Rate them from one to three. For one of them, how do we list which one will have the most success, which one might not? Which one will have the most success? So, you said Streets of Rage Okay, we'll say Streets of R Taxi okay, and Virtua Fighter Virtua Fighter okay. And you know, what I'll clue Ultra Beast, because I know what's going to happen.
Speaker 2:You're going to put that last for me, that's four. Number one for me is going to be Streets of Rage. Streets of Rage. Number two is going to be Virtua Fighter. Okay, number three is going to be what's the number?
Speaker 1:three, you told me I. I told you Streets of Rage, that's number one. Virtua Fighter is number two.
Speaker 2:Ultraman is number four for me. So, whatever the other one I'm missing is three. Did I say Jet Motor? No, no you didn't say Jet Motor.
Speaker 1:I can't remember. I said Crazy.
Speaker 2:Taxi, that's number three for me. I can also say, crazy Taxi is number one because it's family friendly.
Speaker 1:But I think Streets of Rage, okay, then Crazy Taxi. Then I'd put Ultra Beast last.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:And I've had to you know. So yeah, ultra Beast, if they do make a comeback, you know what that might be, the biggest surprise of all of them Right right, right with Streets of Rage is because people love beat-em-up games.
Speaker 2:That's exactly what Streets of Rage is. That's a big thing coming in the comeback, yeah. So that's why I went with Streets of Rage, because beat-em-up games are very popular. They're easy to play and then you can play together with somebody Up to freaking. Now it's up to four people, sometimes six people, yeah, but if it wasn't for that, I probably would have went Virtua Fighter as well, like you did?
Speaker 1:yeah, because, like I said, I just think Ultra Beast was the most less successful in the new comeback.
Speaker 2:Unless you do a real revamp of it, yeah, then it might be a hit and also Ultra Beast, is that a lot of people don't know that game unless you're older. Be honest with you it's an older game, because with you it's an older game, because I was playing that game in the early 90s.
Speaker 1:But, it's in the classic collection it is. It's always on sale.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but it's not one that. Go ask my son do you know Ultra Beast? He's probably not going to know what that is.
Speaker 1:He probably don't know what Crazy Taxi is.
Speaker 2:That I think he will know. I think he will know that because that's popular. But he knows what Streets of Rage is because he bought it and he beat it several times. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Streets of Rage is more popular, and easy to get into. Exactly, and you also can play with other people with that game. Exactly, virtual Fighter. I saw a little video of Virtual Fighter.
Speaker 2:The one being released.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Okay. That looked good actually I did see one too A little clip from what's called the Consumer Electronics Show.
Speaker 1:So it looks fire.
Speaker 2:It does.
Speaker 1:I saw it too actually it says not really gameplay. It's not really gameplay. If it comes close to that, that's awesome, of course.
Speaker 2:We've seen all the new fighting games that are coming out. They all look ridiculous. Mortal Kombat, Tekken, Street Fighter, All those games that came out. They all look amazing to me. So I don't expect anything. And with the Fatal Fury coming out too, oh yeah.
Speaker 1:That's in March, I believe.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's soon. I know we definitely got to get back to fighting games because these are.
Speaker 1:That's what I'm trying to get into.
Speaker 2:There's a lot of things coming out.
Speaker 1:Yo, I forgot to mention of Toe Jammer Earl.
Speaker 2:That was. You know that was a hard game.
Speaker 1:That could be a sneaky hit though.
Speaker 2:Wait, that's coming out.
Speaker 1:Oh, you're just saying they do come out with a remake of that.
Speaker 2:I would love it because I never got to complete that game. I found it hard.
Speaker 1:But that would be like a mid-tier game, yeah, something for like $25. I mean I, I mean I like to say $24, but my chart $49 for that game, yeah well today's inflation.
Speaker 2:So, yeah, that would be a great release and I always wanted to drop that again because I never got a chance to complete it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that would be interesting.
Speaker 2:That would I agree with you on that one. But we saw what they're doing with the the Jagated. Was it the Jagated or Shinobi? Did they bring it back?
Speaker 1:I think Shinobi, they're bringing back Shinobi.
Speaker 2:Yeah yeah, I was like did you see the full trailer for it? Did you see it?
Speaker 1:I saw it. Yeah, that looked good. It looked good.
Speaker 2:I was like okay, I see you. It looked good, so I look forward to stuff like that.
Speaker 1:All right, mr Amazing, let's go to our next topic. Mr Amazing, our next topic is yo Nintendo music is out, mr Amazing, are you? You're the Mr Nintendo guy, so I'll let you handle this, all right. All right, all right. I mean, some of the tracks include Animal Crossing, New Horizon, kirby, star Alliances, mario Kart 8 Deluxe, pikmin 4, splatoon 3, super Mario Odyssey. I mean, the list goes on and on, mr.
Speaker 2:Amazing. So you have nearly 40 years of soundtrack, which is dope. I think that's a wonderful thing. And if you have a Nintendo Switch Online membership, you already got it. You're already in this baby. I mean, this is a great idea, but it ain't for me. I'm keeping it real. I'm keeping it real. It ain't for me. I don't see myself listening and playing. When you're pumping, when you're working out, you're traveling you're Come on, I like those as a ringtone, like I might just call it Imagine, mario, yeah this is my.
Speaker 2:I love the Metal Gear one, the Metal Gear sound, what people call. I love that, but don't you want to lose when you clean the house.
Speaker 1:You clean the house, you clean your car. Play that Nintendo music.
Speaker 2:I think it's cool, but it's notarm for Ringtone, but I just don't see me like pumping in my car driving down the block. Yo, you hear me playing.
Speaker 1:Nah, it's not gonna happen it might be cool if sometimes people were like if you were like, yo, look like I can play that.
Speaker 2:I can see that. I can see that you know what I'm saying. But I think it's cool. I mean, if I'm having like a game night with friends, I throw in a Nintendo soundtrack. We all play Mario Kart or something. I throw something cool in there. You know something like that. It's just dope, but it's a good idea and I'm not knocking for those who want it, I think it's there's never, been any video game music I'm attached to Me too.
Speaker 1:I mean, if I say the Popeye video game, there's a theme where you're almost dying. Okay, that's a good beat. I like what else? Some of this music from Ghosts and Goblins.
Speaker 2:Okay, the original one yeah original that's out of Ghosts and Goblins, okay, the original one.
Speaker 1:Yeah, original, that's how it goes. So that's the one out of the top of my head. I can remember out of the top of my head that I enjoy Maybe Zelda, maybe some music from Zelda, but nothing really that will go. You go work out to it. No, then you go clean my house to it.
Speaker 2:And then you know the music. It brings you back. So that's what I like about it. It does bring you back. It brings you to a happy place. You know the youthful feeling it's going to give us. I think that's cool about it too. And then you know, when you hear it it's like oh, I remember when I used to play this. Oh, that's the take. I get on it me personally, but I'm not going to get those who want to get it listen to it. Any soundtracks you want, go ahead by all means.
Speaker 1:But, mr Mazin, let's continue with the next topic, and it continues More music. Mr Mazin, you want to introduce the people to which video companies doing it? And it's not Sony, it's not.
Speaker 2:Sony, actually, but this is the original Halo trilogy Are returning to vinyl, so that's interesting.
Speaker 1:There's always someone out already, I think 1 and 2.
Speaker 2:1 and 2, yeah 3 are out already. I think it's like triple LPs actually for Halo 2 and 3. Yeah, and sold out. Yeah, it's funny because Halo 2 and 3 is like $54.99 a pop, the first one going for $37.99 a pop. But I think you get all three for like $170.
Speaker 1:No, I think all I don't know. Okay, if you want the whole soundtrack in a bundle, it comes out April 4th, it's from pre-order Amazon, okay, and it's costing $200. Ellen White put 98 cents.
Speaker 2:What the? I don't know why I got that price from that. It's like 83 tracks, though, right, I believe. So 83 tracks. Well, I mean, it's cool. I'm not a Halo person, so I'm not going to here. I'm lying if I say I want this because Halo is not my thing, but for those, it's vinyl which is cool.
Speaker 1:It's cool. And video game music don't mean you might not be big fans of that. Yeah, it's big business, Of course. I mean I won't say huge business, but there are a lot of signed tracks. People collect them.
Speaker 2:Of course, of course, no, I can see that. I mean, would you buy it, even though you're not? I know you don't really. You buy it like no, you gotta play it downstairs. Would you buy it, no?
Speaker 1:no, oh okay, we both. We both said earlier that we're not really real game music people and it's something we'll do for, like, like I said, a ringtone or a long clock.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's me.
Speaker 1:I'm up for ringtones you know what I'm saying, or we're playing the card just to get attention. You'll blast it. Like yo dude, like the Mario, everybody knows that. Yeah, they be like people gonna look at it. Oh yeah, yeah, you want me to get little kids going doing little dance to it. You know what I'm saying. So I'm surprised there's never been a Mario dance. Did they have? I feel like they did.
Speaker 2:They never had a mario dance they never had a mario dance game no, I'm talking mario dance in general at the club or in music oh, oh, oh oh or the ouija dance maybe in japan maybe in japan.
Speaker 1:You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:I'm surprised it never happened. They had, like I forgot that rapper's name. Oh my god, I hear this song in my head. What was it? Slim Shady had that beat. He had to rap something with the Mario beat, that's.
Speaker 1:Eminem. The only person who had a beat was Chubak with Popeye. The song is his Popeye tune.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but listen to the rapper too, like in the early 2000s. Slim, slim, something yo. He had the beat. It was the da-na-na-na-na-na. No, no, no, I'll come back to you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Denon will shut you down.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but he had the Marabee. I forgot how it went though.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they went well, because Senna will shut you down. You know what I'm saying? I saw what went. Oh, shia will shut you down. So, mr Amazing, let's go to our next thing. What's this Trail of the? No, we're not going to trailer week, mr Mason. What are we jumping into? We're going to go to, mr Mason Chris has just passed the holiday season the Hornets.
Speaker 2:Oh, I heard about this.
Speaker 1:You want to go into it.
Speaker 2:Let's do this man. So the Charlotte Hornets mascot, hugo, at the game against Philly versus 76ers.
Speaker 1:In the second quarter, right In the second quarter. Right in the second quarter, yes for TV purposes.
Speaker 2:The mascot gifted a teenager. I think it was 13 year old.
Speaker 1:I want to say 13 yeah, okay, a 13 year old who say youth a youth, yeah, let's just say youth.
Speaker 2:He gifted the youth, the child, a teen, whatever a PlayStation 5. Damn, he must have been hyped. He must have been hyped up. A team whatever a PlayStation 5. Game must have been hype. Imagine being a team at a Charlotte game, and then you just got yourself a PlayStation 5. The kid was excited, hype, backless. Look at that, mom, that is the best gift ever I got to see my favorite team play. I got a PlayStation. That, mommy, that is the best gift ever I got to see my favorite team play. I got a PlayStation 5. Everything but what the kid did not know. His parents knew, though, was that what the parents knew. The parents knew. The staff told the parents hey, this is just for Hell, no For show, okay hold on, let's stop right here.
Speaker 1:Where did you allow? Hold on, let's stop right here. Yeah, would you have allowed that as a parent?
Speaker 2:Nah, because I knew that I was going to hurt my kid.
Speaker 1:That is some bull. I didn't know that. Why didn't you give me the research for this article?
Speaker 2:Yeah, the parents were informed. The parents knew that you cannot keep the PlayStation 5, but the kid didn't know. But my thing is like this is the.
Speaker 1:This is the Unacceptable.
Speaker 2:Unacceptable.
Speaker 1:Unacceptable for the parents, unacceptable for the freaking Hornets yeah, very unacceptable. Because you're a billion dollar company. That's very unacceptable. You make a million. You couldn't give a PlayStation 5 away. Get the freak out of here.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that was very bad. So you go the Sharnitz Hornets mascot dress as Santa, give to the kid the PlayStation 5. So at the end and like run that back, the Grinch came pretty much Yo run that PlayStation son Run that.
Speaker 2:PlayStation. Kid didn't know what was going on. He's shocked, he's upset. He had to give back the gift that he thought was his. So word came out to the media. Word got around A billion-dollar company couldn't give away a $350 out to the media. Word got around A billion dollar company couldn't give away a $350 system to a child. So that's not funny. It's not funny, it's messed up. And the parents are fooled there too.
Speaker 1:Yeah yeah, they knew.
Speaker 2:They knew, but the kid didn't know, though, oh my God. So the kid thought they were playing when they took it from him, but come to find out, the Hornets management staff whatever you want to call it called the kid up, apologized. And not only did they apologize, they gifted the kid with a PlayStation 5 and a VIP experience to be in the suite for any future game that the kid wants. So they did make up for it eventually, so I'll give them credit where credit's due, but at the moment that was a bad look for them, and if it wasn't for the media, the social media, they probably got away with this you know I ain't saying anything.
Speaker 1:That's what the bull crap? It's bull crap. You gonna pull that stunt. The parents was idiots. The freaking team were idiots. The team was idiots. No, no, no. I heard that the team were idiots. The team was idiots. No, no, no, no. I heard that the team was idiots. But the parents never allowed them. Like hell, no, you don't do that to no damn kid. No, you don't.
Speaker 2:Not on national TV.
Speaker 1:And the team was a freaking idiot, you yo.
Speaker 2:You ain't no mom of a pop star, but my thing is, why didn't you just give it to him Like it's not even a debt? If I was a player, even the rookie, making the least amount of money, I bet you it would have been a year. Let that kid keep that. It's nothing, man, I can afford that for you. Take that, oh my.
Speaker 1:God Ridiculous. That was a bad look. Hey, yo, like I said I wasn't going to lose them for the Waxed in the week. That's terrible, Terrible.
Speaker 2:Choke muggers are terrible.
Speaker 1:Get the freak out of here. Ridiculous, I agree yo.
Speaker 2:I said give a traffic. When we give you something, you can keep it.
Speaker 1:It's like us doing that yo, oh, we give it X, but then we're going to take it. Oh, get social media.
Speaker 2:Call number. We're giving a free sweet five and the show and yo can you leave that station five with that guy and look at the top, the movie that show Pimp that Ride a lot of stuff was not a lot of stuff they did.

Speaker 2:I was going to be on that show.
Speaker 1:They pulled some of the stuff back, and this is happening when I just show it like a couple of days. Sometimes it takes four or five months for them to complete that project. Oh, get out of there.
Speaker 2:I didn't know that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I thought it was like a couple of days, a couple of weeks. Nah, man Pit, that ride was fake too. Man Damn it. Xip you out here saying it's a.

Speaker 1:Detective. You know this isn't going to have a happy end. You know the favorite part of this trailer, mr Amazing, when Brad Pickles what's in the box. What's in the box? I haven't seen the movie already, I think I'm going to spoil it. What's in the box? I was like, oh shit, you don't want to know what's in the box.
Speaker 2:You know it's crazy. So, mike, I never saw this movie man, so this is the perfect opportunity to finally see it. So, ladies and gentlemen, I will 100% go watch this now.
Speaker 1:No, he's lying, Mr Mays.
Speaker 2:No, I will. No, mr Mays.
Speaker 1:I have the DVD. He'll just watch it here and get over it. It's cheaper and it's free and it's free. I think I had the Blu-ray copy, but you know, yeah, I'm good, you know, I'm still my.
Speaker 2:That works for me actually. Yes, it will.
Speaker 1:Let's stop lying to the peoples. Alright, mr Amazing, let's go to our shoot week here. Topic of the week Mr Amazing, our shoot week here. Topic is Undisputed at Release the Problem Trial DLC starring your homeboy, mr Amazing, jake Paul. Yeah, he ain't my homeboy, but yeah so. Oh, now we got to fight with Mike Tyson and him right.
Speaker 2:Oh, his stock is high now, why not? It probably all lines up.
Speaker 1:So we got to fight and see what happens, but now we have a younger, more human Mike Tyson in the game. Yeah, he'll probably to check the DLC, yeah.
Speaker 2:I got to go back to that game. Yeah, so much DLC Last time.
Speaker 1:I remember the picture you was on the floor fell down, knocked out. Took a screenshot of that. Yeah, you know what I'm saying, but me and Mr Basis would play Fright Night a lot. Yeah, I'm not going to lie. Maybe, if it was, maybe I won by two, or he won by two if you put the status up, it was even if he was somewhere in the head.
Speaker 1:It won't be that much like two or three fights, but it was like it was always very competitive honestly it was dope, because when I first bought it a couple of months, when did it come out?
Speaker 2:October or November? When it came out, I was playing, I think, on Risen and Ronin more and then actually was it. I wasn't Risen, I already beat it so stuff happens life happens, so stuff happens but from the time I played it till now, there's been, there's been, I think two big DLCs were passed in a lot because people, you could just keep throwing haymakers.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, and they weren't taking the health of a person throwing away. So they fixed that. And then I know they started up tournaments now for it, and I work with someone that was big on the game and he was telling me that it is probably one of the most realistic stimulus gameplay. So he's good too. I like his inputs on games, so I'm going to get back into it and then get familiar to play too, because we used to always play boxing games.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so that'd be good, Because I think my favorite play was Sugar Ray. Yeah, and he used to play with Oscar De La Hoya, oscar.
Speaker 2:De La Hoya's, my boy, the golden boy baby.
Speaker 1:The golden boy wearing those stockings.
Speaker 2:Yeah, baby got that in there with him. He think I care.
Speaker 1:That's a skin. That's a skin character. That's a skin character.
Speaker 2:Catch me with my stockings on.
Speaker 1:So all right, Mr Amazing, let's go to the Gangsta Winks of the Week, your favorite, what's the game? The monkey game. You call the monkey. Oh, Wooka, yes, the heads of the company gifted their employees with bonuses. Ooh, yes, they should. Each employee got a PlayStation Pro and $3,400. That's dope actually, so they get the shot of the week.
Speaker 2:Hell yeah, that's dope so good.
Speaker 1:I'm like Mr Mays, the company he works for other than Gator Traffic. He got no bonus.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying Yo, that's crazy, Because also, who might give my bonus? You know what I'm saying? That's crazy Also for Mike, give me a bonus. I got you a bonus the NBA 2K in 2024.
Speaker 1:I got you that right. Yo, what was my bonus? That was your bonus. I won a PS5.
Speaker 2:Pro. That's no thrill, because you know what. At the end of the day, that's the harshest thing to get. That's the PS5 Pro, the anniversary one, not the. That's a first of all. That's a harsh decision to get.
Speaker 1:That's the PS5 Pro anniversary one, not anniversary one oh, alright, but still, it's still a nice game. I noticed they gave him Xbox and you gotta remember that's messed up.
Speaker 2:They gave him Xbox. I don't want it either, but you also gotta remember, though Wukong was not expected to put up the numbers that it did Yo, they made vocal dollars. Yeah, but you also chew yo. That $3,400 is cheap Yo, but they got.
Speaker 1:But, like I said, they got something, though they got something, but, like I said, they did win 90s, but I think with the PlayStation and that rounds of $4,000.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Pro yeah, a little bit more than $4,000. A little bit more than $4,000, $4,000.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so they got a $4,000 bonus, yeah.
Speaker 1:And plus, you know, employees.
Speaker 2:That's a lot of money still yeah exactly, and I'm pretty sure A couple of them Already have PlayStation Pros Probably not.
Speaker 1:You don't think so? Probably not Probably. They got a regular PlayStation. They always gift it to a fan member, or they don't have one.
Speaker 2:Because if you told me they got PlayStation Adversaries, I'm like oh, that's dope, it's still a good gesture, it's better than most companies.
