[3175.44 --> 3175.86] I can't.
[3176.12 --> 3177.58] Rocket League is just soccer.
[3178.72 --> 3184.00] Yeah, I can't imagine watching Rocket League in the Olympics.
[3184.00 --> 3186.12] I just, like, oh, man.
[3186.84 --> 3188.54] I have a hard time.
[3189.04 --> 3190.84] Like, it's such a ridiculous concept.
[3190.98 --> 3197.50] I think these cars running around and, like, using their butts to hit a giant ball into a thing.
[3197.64 --> 3197.98] Like, I just.
[3198.18 --> 3203.22] You know what you're hitting on right now is the level of abstraction with video games compared to the real sports.
[3203.32 --> 3204.66] Because what happens?
[3204.72 --> 3206.90] Everyone has the common experience when the Olympics come on.
[3207.02 --> 3207.50] Street Fighter.
[3207.76 --> 3208.00] Okay.
[3208.42 --> 3209.96] Super Smash is another one.
[3210.00 --> 3210.32] That'd be great.
[3210.36 --> 3211.16] Street Fighter and Smash.
[3211.26 --> 3211.40] Okay.
[3211.70 --> 3211.92] Okay.
[3211.92 --> 3212.78] The Olympics come on.
[3212.86 --> 3213.86] You've never watched pole vaulting.
[3213.86 --> 3214.58] In your life.
[3214.70 --> 3216.08] You've never watched the sport in your life.
[3216.22 --> 3218.34] But you're sitting there and you just instantly get it.
[3218.46 --> 3220.32] You can appreciate when someone does a good job.
[3220.38 --> 3221.70] You're like, that was amazing.
[3222.00 --> 3222.18] Yeah.
[3222.30 --> 3223.64] That will never happen with esports.
[3223.76 --> 3225.38] Someone puts on a StarCraft II match.
[3226.02 --> 3229.00] You don't know that they have all these battle cruises.
[3229.12 --> 3230.66] You're just like, oh, that guy has ships.
[3230.90 --> 3231.22] Okay.
[3231.70 --> 3235.38] Like, it's too abstracted from a visceral feeling that we can all share.
[3235.48 --> 3235.66] Yeah.
[3235.66 --> 3236.90] I agree with you.
[3237.02 --> 3240.56] I think it's far more likely that they'll just make their own Olympics.
[3240.96 --> 3241.34] I agree.
[3241.34 --> 3241.86] With blackjack.
[3241.88 --> 3242.50] They should have that.
[3243.50 --> 3244.80] Well, we all know the next line.
[3244.92 --> 3245.04] Yeah.
[3245.72 --> 3247.96] Close friends that you pay to hang out with you.
[3248.50 --> 3248.86] Employees.
[3249.22 --> 3249.46] Hey.
[3249.96 --> 3250.64] Friends of the night.
[3250.64 --> 3251.26] I've got those.
[3251.78 --> 3252.40] I'm out of here.
[3252.72 --> 3253.10] All right.
[3253.10 --> 3256.70] So, I think that's pretty much it for the WAN show today.
[3256.80 --> 3258.16] We will see you guys again next week.
[3258.38 --> 3259.98] Same bat time, same bat channel.
[3260.64 --> 3261.22] Let's roll that intro.
[3261.22 --> 3262.20] No guarantee on the time.
[3262.28 --> 3262.92] Don't talk on the intro.
[3262.92 --> 3263.68] I'm going to talk on the intro.
[3263.68 --> 3264.22] Don't talk during the...
[3264.22 --> 3267.30] Never going to give you up.
[3267.30 --> 3268.02] No, no, no.
[3268.32 --> 3269.62] I can sing on the intro.
[3270.70 --> 3271.12] All right.
[3271.16 --> 3271.42] Fine.
[3271.68 --> 3275.10] Never going to turn around to zerk you.
[3277.36 --> 3278.74] How weird is that guy's voice, though?
[3283.10 --> 3284.70] Yeah, this guy was talking to me.
[3284.72 --> 3284.82] Oh, shoot.
[3284.86 --> 3285.78] I've got to put this thing here.
[3286.22 --> 3286.42] Look.
[3286.60 --> 3286.74] Look.
[3287.14 --> 3287.42] That one.
[3287.44 --> 3288.32] LTX.
[3288.50 --> 3289.16] And that one.
[3289.48 --> 3290.24] And that one.
[3292.20 --> 3292.80] Bye-bye.
