Chapter 1: What happens during the podcast intro?
Come on, let me hear you. Let's get louder. Welcome to Talk Encounter. Come on, let me hear you. Let's get louder. Welcome to Talk Encounter.
All right. There we go. We've hit the button.
Is it live? It's live. I have a fun fact to start with. We don't have a lot of time. So I don't want to waste too much time with fun facts. But here's one. And we'll... Jason. No, actually I'll start with Yanko. Yanko, minus 40 degrees Celsius is what in Fahrenheit?
Chapter 2: What are the initial fun facts discussed?
Oh, this is a trick question because actually once you go into the minus, it's like minus 28, minus 18 Fahrenheit. What is minus 30 degrees Celsius in Fahrenheit? You asked me minus 40.
Sorry, minus 40.
It's minus 40.
It is. They actually meet, right? The two scales meet at minus 40. And that's the fun fact. Minus 40 degrees Celsius and Fahrenheit are in fact the same temperature.
It's where socialism and capitalism join up and celebrate together.
yeah donald trump was inaugurated on the 6th of january we'll start there uh is that bad for the algorithm that two minutes in we talked about donald trump and said it's actually terrible for the algorithm we said three times i know i think it's actually ruined we might need to start over and he said socialism i did say oh god we did fuck that up now i've sworn as well so we're really i think we just stay the course yeah i think we should just stay the course uh and see where we end up right now yeah um any fun stories jason lost his bag
Yeah, it came today. I got it. We're all good. The event's saved.
The weekend is saved.
We don't have to hold off on it anymore. We can continue as planned.

Chapter 3: What travel issues did Jason face?
6 is fashionably late.
Yeah, and that's what we're going to be. And then I have to leave at 7.45 to go to rehearsal. Right, and then you come later for dinner. Yeah, which is 10 minutes down the road apparently. Okay, I need to make sure I take enough clothes because it's going to be cold tonight. That's easy done. But yeah, we're in Belgrade for the HTV award show. You brought Jane. So no baby.
Lucky Jason's getting a bit of a holiday. No baby, just wife.
um and then so tomorrow is the proceeding so it would be the same as last year essentially but there's obviously some things that have slightly changed today they went out there and people did there's like a shooting range thing there was a paddle tournament right a bunch of stuff going on apparently there's some yoga or something i don't know if i read that correctly or not but yeah there's a whole bunch of stuff going on that people were doing didn't i didn't participate in any of it i had a massage
I didn't either. Jane and I went and got some brunch and then came back here and I just got done sitting down with Potty for about 45 minutes and Get Right for like a little over an hour.
Something I could have done there with like Cream or... Yeah. Yeah, okay. How were those interviews?
They were good, man. It was fun. I've never actually like spoken with Potty like at length. I think we've ran into each other at some events watching some games and just like done like the bullshit surface level Counter-Strike stuff and... Like, wow, Serena's sweet, blah, blah, blah. But I've never actually talked to him about Counter-Strike or his career. So it was fun getting to do that.
That was really cool because he was one of my favorite players back in the day. And Chris is Chris. It's fun with Get Right getting to look back and listen to him wax lyrical about his career, about the different occurrences across his career and see him get introspective because he is a pretty emotional guy. He has those thoughts. It was fun. It was fun getting both of their perspectives now
for potty what fucking 20 years after his career ended which is crazy to think about what what are they doing with that they're just going to air that tomorrow or i think these are just going to youtube okay so then they have like little 30 second intro clips for the hall of fame when they when they get announced that's happening tomorrow right yeah so there's a lot going on tomorrow there's like the opening stuff will be like the panel with me uh prof and striker like we did last time but we did the community awards there last time
