    Dec 26 2025

    Here are engaging episode notes for Episode 005 based on your transcript. I have structured these to include a "Hook" description for your podcast feed, followed by a bulleted breakdown of topics so listeners can scan what’s inside.

    Episode Title: Episode 005: Battlefield 6 vs. Ark Raiders, The "Kai Cenat Stimulus," Streamer Awards Controversy, Expedition 33’s Sweep, & Grandma Gamers

    Description: We are back! After a 2025 hiatus, Jay and LC return to break down everything happening in gaming and culture. We debate the massive 42% player drop-off in Battlefield 6, explain why Ark Raiders has completely taken over our rotation, and discuss the "goop."

    Plus, we do a deep dive into the Game Awards and Streamer Awards: from the awkward on-stage roasts of Rekai and Kai Cenat to the inspiring underdog story of Expedition 33—a game made by a former Ubisoft project manager that swept the awards. We also highlight the "Kai Stimulus" effect on streamers like Ray and Tota, and give flowers to the most wholesome winner of the year: a puzzle-solving grandma.

    In This Episode:

    • Life Updates: Jay’s first NFL styling client, LC’s move to NYC, and why Chicago pizza is still king.
    • What We’re Playing:
      • Battlefield 6: Great launch, but is the player count in trouble?
      • Ark Raiders: The new extraction shooter obsession (and hunting for "Goop").
      • Liar’s Bar: Russian Roulette mechanics and trust issues.
    • Game Awards 2025 Breakdown:
      • Expedition 33: How a team of ~30 people beat AAA studios for Game of the Year.
      • South of Midnight: A look at Gullah Geechee folklore and trauma as a game mechanic.
      • Girls Make Games: Celebrating 23,000+ girls entering the industry.
    • Streamer Awards Recap:
      • The Controversy: Why the "Diddy" joke aimed at Kai Cenat flopped and the insensitive roast of Rekai.
      • The Winners: IShowSpeed’s IRL dominance, The "Burnt Peanut" VTuber, and "Just Love Puzzles" (the wholesome grandma gamer).
      • The "Kai Stimulus": How Kai Cenat’s co-sign launches careers (Ray Asian Boy & Tota).
    • 2026 Goals: More consistency, more guests, and gaming with the listeners.
