Come on back into another episode of Game Run Steep and talk of champions.

I'm Sudu Upadea. That's Ben Garrett, who has PTSD because he tells me every episode.

Buddy, bring us in.

You know, take my sweet time.

Sometimes I forget.

And now, even when I'm on my shit, Ben, I'm sorry for what I've turned you into. Man, 20 seconds in, we're already dropping them. We're already dropping them. Hey, buddy. No, he's right. It's a me thing. It's a me problem. And Sudo is the best at this. It was funny. Well, the last time you did a show when I was 10 minutes late. yeah, it took you way too long to say anything.

I know. Well, half the problem was I thought I was already live. And then I was like, oh, shoot, I don't think I'm live. But it turns out I was. It just didn't show up the, it didn't tell me I was live for some reason. So I went back and watched that episode after some people were like,

what are you doing the first like two minutes of that thing? Like, oh, I'm setting stuff up. I'm sorry. But, yeah, this is like, and you forget. Yeah. You're going to forget that, um, that you're alive and you're just going to be doing your thing. Right. Yeah, Jeremy said one day Ben's going to freestyle over that beat and break the internet.

Do not tease me.

Listen, I haven't heard it personally, but just having heard Ben freestyle in the past, I wouldn't doubt it if Ben plays that. Like on episodes I'm not here, he just plays it before he goes live. He drops a little freestyle to hype himself up and then comes in. Beat.

Yeah.

You know, man. I haven't caught up with you since you guys got the worst of it down there in North,

Mississippi.

And I mean, you know, I guess we chatted a little bit.

You were like, yeah, powers out.

We've got a generator, whatever.

But how did you get through the, the snowmageddon ice apocalypse, whatever you guys are calling it down there? Uh, it's, it's, it's, we, we were blessed, man, we had everything we needed. We had a means of warmth, shelter, food, and water. Um, my, my kids, I mean, the worst thing they suffered through was boredom, which was, you know, like, welcome to what childhood used to be for most all of us.

But no, man, I'm very thankful that we had better than most.

I mean, there's still thousands of people here in New Albany without power.

I know that Oxford, they're going through.

And most everybody still without power.

It was good to see, you know, some of my friends starting to regain some things.
