IDK, But I need to see a Yipes Unreal Tournament stream asap. I still come back to the game every so often. Would be tight to see some other FGC heads try it out. Game is fun af

[@solitudegaming]

@@tristan_tds I wasnt too bad at Unreal 2k4, great game lots of fun, solo and teamplay

[@errortic3668]

Got to be either Punk or Kizzie and maybe some sf4 players like xian, latif, gamerbee, nuckledu

[@Judgment]

I like the old school players vibe, because there's a lot of untapped knowledge within and beyond the games. That being said, see if you can get VDO. And if you do, let him know that it was a recommendation from his brother, Judgment Day.

[@brandonthompson6094]

Yes I'd love a FGC podcast just interviews with different players over different games

[@exthechickenwing]

No frills podcast yipes and chris Matrix

[@zaqqaz]

Bring No Frills back!

[@KiingKai91]

Yoo Justin x top Melee players?! This is already an amazing series

[@TruLuan]

What ever happened to No Frillz? They still have to finish the tri-force chronicles ​@@zaqqaz

[@BozClawt]

@@TruLuan Yipes said on a stream it has something to do with matrix. He might be busy or some other reasons

[@rayquon]

Great concept, and can't go wrong with Yipes as your first interviewee.

[@Slatanata22]

Can't go wong

[@philcoats6812]

"im pregnant, got two lines on the thing right, it ain't covid." -Justin Wong

[@galactic4830]

Yipes mad comfy. This not even an interview, this is just two brothers choppin it up on some good vibes

[@TheYungestOfSoups]

It's really remarkable how Yipes is such a universally loved individual. I can't even find one thing to dislike about him

[@MrAnime4lyfe]

It's funny, the story Yipes told about him honoring the promise he made to his grandma about not getting tattoos and stuff is pretty much the same reason why I don't and could never smoke. I made a promise to my grandma before she passed that I would never smoke because she was super against it after she quit and I intend to honor that until the day I die. Grandma promises can't be broken man.

[@GuileWinQuote]

I've been wanting something like this for the FGC for a long time. Good stuff!

[@gold6813]

Born free KZbin channel

[@FamilyTyRanT]

Yeah... R.I.P

[@Mephi_uwu]

This is wholesome, i like it a lot. It sounds like youve made a lot of wonderful friends along the way, justin.

[@rookie1405]

Justin was trying to get Yipes in trouble with some of those question lol 😂

[@ErnestoAguila-mk5oi]

Yipes has great charisma. I remember when I use to see Justin and Yipes play at Chinatown fair. Those were definitely dope days for me

[@alistairb5839]

Awesome idea Jwong! I'd love more of this! So many great people to interview!

[@alsoknownas875]

You HAVE to keep doing these, especially with the veterans of the community. It's important to preserve the history, and for younger players to get ideas about where they can take their lives. It's also great to see other sides of the players. Justin is a surprisingly good interviewer: warm, relaxed, asks good questions, likable. Absolutely continue these!

[@DMan_AA]

Yipes is such a great and cool guy. Really love the vibes with this interview. It really just felt like two longtime pals reminiscing on the good times while still looking forward to the future. Good shit, Justin! Can't wait to see more from this series.

[@24framedavinci39]

The stories were fun. Alex Valle and I used to mob Golf Land in Stanton. He and the other hard core guys tried getting me to join tourneys, but I wasn't interested in going pro. The teenage mindset.

[@williamwellman3280]

yipes the most entertaining person ever in FGC free. great way to start the year justin. love you guys

[@datankle7519]

Oh damn this is actually a dope idea. Please do more of these 😤

[@ken34]

I always love hearing the MvC2 lore from back in the day!

[@SSBalla29]

Keep these up Justin! We need more of these interviews with other FGC faces. Also every time Yipes does the FChamp impressions that shit has me dead 🤣🤣🤣

[@theused421]

Absolutely loved this Justin. Will definitely tune into future episodes if this continues.

[@blaebrobinson895]

This is dope. Really love this concept. I'd watch a bunch of these.

[@ViralWinter]

Let's go JW!!! More FGCasts pleeeeaase! 🙏 Starting the new year off RIGHT! 🎉

[@halfstrike721]

Idk why Yipes being under the covers is so funny to me 😂

[@alphago9397]

This was an excellent interview; would love to see more of this in the future, for sure.

[@Judoka661]

I truly love the convo, the history, and the vibe.... Happy New Year 🎉

[@CrooklynBrawl3r]

love this kind of content to the fullest, best first guest also to set the series off!!!!!

[@shinjoni]

I absolutely love this series. Its amazing to have all the questions I had about this legend all coming out in one place we need more run the mindset!

[@jonesy7425]

I didn't get exposure to this growing up despite being in y'all's age range. I'd love to see more.

[@Skkra]

That was great. I'd absolutely love more of these longer interviews with famous players and community figures.

[@spawn-sr8tw]

Love both of y’all on the mic man good to hear y’all together

[@adamkaneshiro]

this is an amazing format! love the personal side of the people playing the games we love! keep on creating these new ways to look at the folks in the fighting sphere!

[@impressivestory]

This is sick, bro. Absolutely great idea. I love fgc lore, love seeing the personalities behind the play. Do this as much as you can, these are the stories that need to be told and preserved.

[@ElvaanRanger]

Yeah Love this series was chill as hell and was over before I knew it … can’t wait till next one!

[@rockguitarshred]

Honestly I search long and hard for content like this,and to now have you do it is more than I can ask for

[@willthelemon5681]

Im so all for this! This is hooking me day one!

[@David_Here]

This is probably my new fav content u put out man! So hype for this

[@SUDAGANGTV]

Loving this podcast J.Wong! Very chill vibe. Looking foward to more episodes! 👍

[@VegaMain]

Glad to see this. Was waiting for Yipes to drop another episode of his podcast but I guess he’s done with it. Love learning about people in FGC and hearing their stories.

[@Jroc286]

I love this format! The best part it's silly initially, but the deeper into the conversation it feels more intimate, you get the feeling ohh it's the boys hanging out and getting to hear this history of the fgc. Love yipes & Justin. Look forward to your future episodes.

[@rito5564]

this was actually great, would love to see more podcasts/interviews

[@furrybproductions]

Keep these interviews coming! Great work!

[@GamingWithMoh]

I loved this. My two favourite people from the FGC and the first people that come to mind when I think about the culture. This was a great concept and I don't think you could have started with a better guest for EP. 1. Looking forward to more episodes Justin. Would love to see Mike Ross on this one day.

[@Bynoe]

This is a great series. Would love to see more interviews with players from you and Yipes generation. I don't keep up with the FGC so much these days but I used to love watching you guys in the SFIV/MVC3 era.

[@errortic3668]

Hell yeah this is so chill I love this, i can listen to this when I'm working and studying for stuff

[@Mr3rdFloor]

Been watching JWong for a WHILE now, but this is instantly my favorite video on the channel. Keep it up! 😌

[@MaseNoKen]

This is quality content! and I absolutely love it here. Please please keep this going‼️

[@Yaqoub_H]

Make more of these J! Love that you got Michael for your first guest ❤️

[@Kairoem]

This was great, man! Thanks for giving us a wonderful start to the year!

[@Tahldon-kun]

This was incredibly cool. Thanks to the both of you for sharing thoughts and stories. There's just something about all of us getting up there in age that makes the context of everything we've experienced around the FGC just hit right lol. I like that the convo drifted into the responsibilities and back, cause we're all there, man. Great first set.

[@ChocolateMagnums]

THIS IS GODLIKE. Been a huge Yipes fan since I saw him in Marvel - I hope yall react to moments in marvel history in another video some day!

[@RomnysGonzalez]

3:42 that's the Dominican granma. They just come out of nowhere to tell you the most random stuff you should never do or they gonna kick you from the family and beat your ass while doing so lmao

[@totsuzenshi3882]

I've seen most of the FGC interviews and this has to be in the top 3 easy. I enjoyed this, the setting, the questions and the fact that this was Yipes. Good pick Wong.

[@Musubi-Azeyma]

Great interview. Where 1 day into 2024 and already were getting hit with crazy new content on the channel. Love it.

[@Grimbear13]

You two are legit the reason I found the FGC scene. Yipes with the Curleh Mustache vid and Justin with Evo 37. These were the things that made me find that there was a competitive scene and community for fighting games which was super cool!

[@99biff]

This was interesting, hilarious, and super dope. The setting was a trip 😂

[@DominicanStud101]

This is an awesome series. Loved the first episode. Keep it coming Justin!

[@TakaComics]

I love this format Justin! You gotta do more!

[@princegomenasai3943]

Pretty much the best first episode you could’ve hoped for, gj 🎉

[@Waffles2186]

Very good idea love hearing these old stories I remember hearing about you guys during Empire Arcadia days and even coming down to PAX and northwest majors back in the early 2000’s.

[@user-pb6pr5rf5u]

Please keep doing this, amazing content!

[@MilkteaMomoko]

Another year to two legends, Happy 2024 and awesome series debut Justin!

[@shaideyfresh1]

Great interview! Great insight and vibes. And hilarious interview couch lolll 😂 #FGC #XBOX

[@aridrabkin9649]

Yes to this concept and you could just interview yipes over and over again and it would probably be interesting. I think you have a unique angle too, being a top player in history you can get better answers probably. Thanks JWong. Also I like that yipes commentates for the masses we have plenty of people that can talk frame data and what the pros are doing technically.

[@ujustdiealready7402]

was not expecting to hear bars but here we are...love this. please do more if possible.

[@propellermonk]

Yo those 48 minutes just flew by real fast. Please make more of this, it was hella fun to watch and listen to. Always cool to see the old school legends talkin about stuff

[@ruffes3141]

Great Interview! I'm pretty new to fighting games so I didn't know most of this stuff and it was really fun listening to you guys talk. :)

[@Crazy8-uh4on]

This is good stuff Justin lookin forward to more

[@jonathanpalalay4057]

I loved watching this and hearing the stories of back in the day! I'm glad that I got to visit Chinatown Fair and frequent Family Fun Arcade, memories. I would definitely want to hear more stories, you with the Burger King crown and beating Soo Mighty. I'm all for it!

[@v1Sound]

Let's go, Justin! Love the idea. Who better to start the series off with other than Yipes? We need more of this! 👍

[@AceBadguy]

Hope you keep doing this series. This is nice.

[@GEFA7908]

This video was really awesome, it fun hearing old stories from the community.

[@TVs_Brent]

Awesome convo, I'd love to see more like this

[@eggmancorp]

Oh hell yeah! I was hoping you'd do a Lore video. Never did I think you'd do an actual series of it. This is easily my favourite content you got on this channel, free.

[@BretBjorkman]

Love this concept. If possible, splice even more clips of the subject matter in there.

[@theworldisa]

This is amazing . Please do more

[@BlackTylerOG]

Hell yes!!! This is a dream come true Justin! The legends

[@Volksyn]

Bro, this is fire, i need more of it now

[@fantasmaatriste]

wow! This interview was awesome! As usual the best content! Let's go Justin!

[@UpcycleShoesKai]

So thats how he looks like. He looks chillaf. Just lnew Yipes from when he did got schooled from JWongs 3 to 1 comeback

[@LiteralApe]

good idea! excited to see you grow as an interviewer.

[@equallystrange4841]

I'm a big fan of this style of video. Perfect for listening to while playing fighting games!

[@Xtrubu]

why is jwong so happy while showing yipes his bars? and why am I happy seeing jwong this happy?

[@PowerQuestGB]

Love this, thanks guys for the ep! Middle aged dad here that grew up in the arcades, this bring back the warm and fuzzies seeing you guys from tournaments and now in the grown mode!

[@PowerQuestGB]

And @IFCYipes plz come back with the No Frillz podcast man, miss that goodness!

[@HER0333]

Yeah this is great more like this please ❤

[@ThreePeekBTW]

LOVED this!

[@Raspy978]

This was a dope pod. You didn't just ask fgc questions but a variety of categories which I like.

[@steamyrobotlove]

This reminds me of the Denjin Podcast back in 2008 with Gootecks and a lot of the best 3S players. I love this kind of stuff!

[@Tropical_Panda]

Im young and new to FGC esports so getting to know where Yipes the legends began is grat, ty for the podcast!

[@soggy11]

Great episode great series can’t wait for more

[@Comrade-Broski]

Love this can't wait for the next one

[@incrediblebrotha4779]

I'll sign on to this Justin. Keep'em coming.

[@wubbawubba3396]

I absolutely loved this video. Id absolutely be down for more podcast type videos with pro FG players or just interesting conmentators.

[@TekkenHype]

This was real

[@satanictoddler3640]

This is sick Justin, I love learning FGC Lore

[@rayneoftera]

Best commentator in the FGC along with Tasty Steve. Great interview and episode!

[@RomnysGonzalez]

Man Big E is the goat!. His valuable to this community is so massive. Oh man. i was at that events where Mena and Snake Eyez 1st played each other. I got bounced in the last game of pools HEY!. The Justin and Yipes japanese adventures would be sick

[@sgt.rudolf3811]

Nice format, keep going!

[@flamemdq]

This was a lovely company while doing stuff to watch chill. 10 10, would watch again

[@zaqqaz]

This is giving me No Frillz Vibes and I definitely welcome this.

[@benjaminperez5004]
