OH YEA BABY WE IN THERE. 

Season 3 is the UNIVERSAL SEASON of going places, baby! We’re 2 and a half years into this thing and are on that gradual grind, and nothing says incremental change like getting extremely hyped over a new logo and branding. And then… Saying virtually the same stuff in each episode!

Nowadays, though, a two week break means a lot of activity built up for JD and Wassabi. There’s the secret project that we finally announce (Working on The Big One!), Wassabi making big decisions in his personal life, and JD coming in hot off a 3 day smash fest and finally looking like a fox that’s been playing for 7 years.

We’re just getting started, y’all. Let the games begin

Part 2 of 2 for Season 2. How fantastic!

The boys get a little lose with wine and beer, talk about how much of a trip it is to see our progress over the past 6 months, talk about Cyfer003 and the BSM pod, how much we love our discord, season 3 predictions, and of course, QUESTIONS!! Thanks for joining us.

Stay tuned for the new season in 2 weeks! (Probably)

It's not often that we do a special episode, but after last week's conversation about it feeling right, we've decided to spend more than 1 day going through our past season and wrapping things up properly. What does that mean though? More of the same, actually. Will and JD talk about increasing capacity like Goku, revisit some therapy sessions that were relevant and tease an upcoming project that's coming up sooner than later. How do we meet the moment without needing to sprint? What does "Grinding" mean and when is it appropriate? What have we learned from last season, and how do we approach Season 3? Next episode coming tomorrow. Thank for for joining us on this 6 month ride! Have any questions?

When we have a good opportunity come up, it feels like we can tie our entire identity up in it. Truth be told, it's taken a few times like this for us to actually deal with this anticipation. How do we get excited while keeping expectations down? How do we contribute our best work to a project we're not in charge of? And how do we keep the growth mindset while still living in the moment and working as hard as we can? 

It ain't easy. Will and JD work through it in real time this episode, so don't expect any answers. Like always. What do we know?!

It's The Cheat! He's a dope luigi main, Head T.O of the legendary Smash Camp series, and a hilarious commentator/content creator. But most of all... he's a guest on the show today. He talks about all of these things!

This was recorded back in FEBRUARY of 2021, but the context here is evergreen. Listen in to one of our scenes greatest overall contributors talk about starting in the community, getting a job because of smash, and creating one of the sickest smash events in the entire country.

The Wannabes come fresh off their top 64 - top 8 commentary block to deep dive into their performance. A majority of this episode is a raw and detailed look at how JD and Wassabi can improve their commentary chops, synergies, and techniques.

Also, Wassabi recaps a weekend of tournaments from two weeks ago. Recap on recap!

Yup, The one and only.

In this interview JD sits down with legendary commentator, player, and personality Toph. Note - This was a few months ago, so before the Golden Guardians signed him.

Toph touches on his early career as a player and commentator, traveling to tournaments with Scar to get reps behind the mic, and answers a few lightning round questions about Melee commentary. A definite can't miss interview!

Sometimes good stuff happens, and it comes with a bit of fear. A good Ladder placing got Wassabi in bracket for TMT, and a great video got him views. What does he do with that pre-bracket fear? And how can he be happy for himself without getting derailed, or distracted, by letting his ego mess him up?

For JD, he's launching a new project soon. He may be confident in the project, but when you're bringing something into the world there's fear there as well.

Also in this episode: Weekly commentary duo debrief, some great questions from the one and only Cyfer003, and the announcement of a new PATREON! Coming soon!

Wassabi and JD are COOKING lately, and that's not just about the 5 minutes at the end when they talk about literal food. We're talking progress. We're talking good habits. Life updates. Melee practice, secret projects, teams practice scheduling. Exercise and working hard. It's non-stop over here, baby!

It has been a crazy week for both Wannabes! So much happened in 7 days. JD fills us in on some life/project updates while Wassabi goes over his bracket run at the most recent NA West! These are enough topics on its on but JD and Will go deep into their performance as a commentary duo at the most recent EU event, Regen Online! Lastly it wouldn't be a Wannabes episode without answering community questions on discord, which is better a zero to death or a sick read?
