Cast Blanka 100%

[@tristan_tds]

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.

[@ArieN86]

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

"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

[@rayquon]

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

[@Slatanata22]

Can't go wong

[@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!

[@TheYungestOfSoups]

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

[@70smebbin]

the peoples champ

[@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

[@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

[@EldritchMephi]

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 😂

[@Adeptus_Miniatures]

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

[@williamwellman3280]

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

[@MugiwaraNoDavid]

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.

[@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!

[@jonesy7425]

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

[@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 🤣🤣🤣

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@tiredofthisshieeet]

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.

[@originalscreenname44]

The best thing about this interview is you can see it’s happening in real time with the clock.

[@Judoka661]

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

[@Xtrubu]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@raizendionisio9917]

I hope we get to see justin and yipes on japan together

[@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

[@ImSwayZoh]

Love this! It makes me really miss “No Frillz Podcast” with chris matrix and yipes

[@zaqqaz]

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

[@theused421]

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

[@ViralWinter]

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

[@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.

[@Skkra]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@killerb255]

I would have loved to see Yipes on Triple KO, but this is the next best thing!

[@SUDAGANGTV]

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

[@RxMxG]

That Justin's rhymes in the end segment is unexpectedly godlike

[@Yaqoub_H]

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

[@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.

[@nobodyexceptme7794]

Lol Yipes needs to tat "Mv" and Justin need to tat "C2" then when they come together to run the set we see the whole logo. 😂

[@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.

[@mousefire777]

So wholesome seeing two legends share a hotel room to save money

[@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.

[@Musubi-Azeyma]

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

[@StanNotSoSaint]

Yeah, for a guy who has a reputation of being one of the hypest guys in FGC, Yipes is so freaking chill.

[@Mr3rdFloor]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@alphago9397]

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

[@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.

[@joshuabrown1855]

Great interview, nice to see friends talk with no pretenses and agendas. Yipes in Japan would be absolute gold, first time visiting is a mind-blower. Next interview should be Henry Cen or Arturo Sanchez. Checking off the entire Chinatown Fair crew would be ideal.

[@Tropical_Panda]

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

[@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.

[@blaebrobinson895]

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

[@DetectiveClem]

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!

[@DetectiveClem]

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

[@v1Sound]

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

[@Nerdypugminatures]

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

[@shaideyfresh1]

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

[@Tizjiz]

I love how FGC back in the day is essentially like an old kung fu movie or anime. You: "I-I lost!?" Person beats your ass: "Hmph, you're pretty good. Why don't you come to my dojo (arcade) to hone your skills"

[@damienglover2979]

16:19 FINALLY, The True Origin of "Where yo Curly Moustache At?"

[@ebeespiritu9646]

This is genius JWong! FGC Pod! Yipes is the god bruh. Hands down, best commentator in the biz.

[@Crazy8-uh4on]

This is good stuff Justin lookin forward to more

[@brandon_yl_is_busted_af9316]

THIS IS SO AMAZING. Yipes is so cool and I'm super excited to listen to this as another podcast alongside my Smash stuff 🎉

[@BretBjorkman]

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

[@CrooklynBrawl3r]

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

[@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

[@halfstrike721]

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

[@djcolossal]

This is literally the greatest talk show and format, EVER!

[@TekkenHype]

This was real

[@Bboosted]

my favorite commentator of all time, I could listen to yipes talk for hours. Was bummed out when he stopped doing no frillz

[@fantasmaatriste]

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

[@spawn-sr8tw]

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

[@Raspy978]

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

[@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

[@Judgment]

As an old school fighting game player from the midwest, I appreciate the interview. Great job by both JWong and Yipes!

[@YGO_SirDark]

We all love yipss gameplay and commentary. Great interview

[@errortic3668]

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

[@princegomenasai3943]

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

[@yami-kay9099]

I met yipes sometime in the early 2000's. I went to a tiny invitational and saw yipes playing Samford Kelly. I used to play at China town fair too. Probably played justin. Boy did I grow away from the scene. Proud of these dudes. China Town fair is still there

[@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

[@LiteralApe]

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

[@HER0333]

Yeah this is great more like this please ❤

[@adamjones7014]

I was there at the tournament Justin was talking about w/Caba & Mena. Dr Ray was there as well. This actually was SCR at the Esports arena. They were money matching everyone. One of the hypest mm's was upstairs when it was Du vs Caba. That set, between them, in SFV was more hype then the actual tournament. This was at the start of the SFV era.

[@rayneoftera]

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

[@Only1JakeBaby]

Justin’s actually a pretty cool guy. Talked with him at Denny’s after he took over “Family Fun” in SoCal. 😂 Glad to see him prospering. Dope hearing the stories and history.

[@djmexicanodetx2195]

Happy New Year Wong!

[@wutthabuck8772]

Dopen concept but since i been asking forever PLEASE MVC2 WITH IFC YIPES 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@MilkteaMomoko]

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

[@more4yourbuck]

Ah old friends. Glad seeing you guys. Bless up my guys

[@schitzie]

I never knew that Yipes was an Unreal Tournament player and now I like him even more, which I didn't think was possible.

[@GenderNeutch]

Love the format, it's an amazing idea, especially getting to know more about the people beyond strictly FGC-related stuff. One thing that would help me a lot as a listener/viewer is if you could put some of the stories and the people you talk about in them into context for the audience who aren't as familiar with either the times you're talking about or the FGC as a whole. I enjoyed hearing about past tournaments, your arcade times, etc. but felt the need to look up a lot of the names and places you mentioned to get a better picture of what you're talking about. So if you could explain or put them more into the context of the stories that would be perfect!

[@_Jay_Maker_]

Yipes is one of the most hilarious and memorable commentators in the scene. Thanks for interviewing him, Justin! I'd love to see you do this with other guests, too.

[@sinisterrain2079]

almost a year old in the fgc at this time, or at the very least consuming fgc content. Yipes for me was a crush. Love his content to death and it hooked me in.

[@itachiuchiha5035]

Such a great video!!! Yipes is the best guest he could have picked 💪
