You’ve been listening to The Snap Chat. Keep the conversation going on x.com/ACozyGamer and x.com/AlexanderCoccia. Until next time, happy snapping!
What's going on guys and welcome back to another episode of the Snapchat better late than never as I'd like to say, actually, we haven't had to say that too many times. This is probably the latest we've gotten Snapchat out. We are filming this as of Wednesday. So we are midway through the week here. So you can expect another Snapchat episode, obviously to hit you guys early next week, Monday as typical, but we wanted to go ahead and get this done. We have not broken our streak yet. We wanted to keep it this way. We wanted to. To ensure that we don't miss a week here and how you doing bud? Glad, glad to be able to do this.
Alexander Coccia:Yeah, I'm doing great cozy and it's like it's, it's been a pretty crazy week. Obviously a lot of interest about the Snapchat, you know, where the Snapchat's been. And we got a brand new card that came out, which I think was by far one of the most anticipated cards to come out this season. We've got a lot of talk about buddy, a lot to talk about.
Cozy Snap:Yeah, man, that's, that is for sure. We have as one of the subjects, the future of the Snapchat, and we don't want to scare you guys even early. It has nothing to do with us stopping the Snap. So I get this is a great transition What we're talking about so guys we are now two two and a half years Yeah, two and a half years that we have not missed an episode and we never plan on it We never plan on it. We've had some crazy things happen from power outages to trips to you name it And we've got it done. And recently this week it was like The triple full man quite the busy week over here. You know, first and foremost, as I'm sure you guys saw was commentating just a dream of mine being able to do a pro event of casting. It was good. I was doing that for Marvel rivals. Super fun. But on top of that, one of my one of my kids, I have one kid might get out of medical thing. We had to work through and then my my side of the family came and only get to see him once a year. They came in as the casting concluded to go to Disneyland, so I am fresh off two days at the, the happiest place on Earth. I feel like death. They don't tell you that when you're, when you're there, that you come out feeling like death and destruction. But here we are, man. We're able to get the we don't want to break our two and a half year streak, so we wanted to have Maybe a little bit of a quicker one, but an episode of the Snapchat.
Alexander Coccia:Absolutely, and I want to start off by saying, first of all, congratulations on the work that you did. With Marvel Rivals in the casting position, because I know for a fact that that's a dream come true for you. We've talked about, you know, casting, like, just Us ourselves, you know, you know, shooting the breeze, stuff like that. We, I know how important it is to you. And I had an opportunity to watch you at work and I have to say you were absolutely tremendous. And I'm not just saying that to you because you're my friend. I'm saying that to you as someone who knows how hard it is to put that work in, who knows. The, the types of nerves that, you know, kind of runs through your body as you sit there in front of thousands of people trying to, you know, break into a scene that you're new to, you know, you got pro gamers left and right, pro casters left and right and cozy snap baby, breaking the mold going in there, buddy. I was so proud of you. And honestly, you did a phenomenal job,
Cozy Snap:dude. Thank you, man. It was I'd like these to the new audience thing. First of all, man, I love you. You know, I love you. But the Stroud was watching his pro team. So he casted the whole thing. So it was on his screen for like two hours and I had to go back and see. And the amount of people are like, isn't that that Marvel snap dude? And I loved that. I was like, yes, we have snappers out there everywhere. Closet snappers, as I like to call them. But thanks man. Yeah, I really appreciate it. It's definitely been Taxing on the body to say the least just trying to do a little bit of everything, you know, I think I made a commitment a long time ago. Family comes first both with my decision making, but also my time. I can't That's why I don't stream guys. This secret's out. You know, I would love it too much, and I would be away from my family too much. For me personally, that's for me. And so, with being able to do all the content, like, I could be an awful father and husband, and make sure all my channels got, you know, content, or I can make sure I put what, you know, priority and family first. And so, you know, super apologize for getting late on the Snapchat here, guys. You know, I can apologize, but at the same time, like, so a lot of the comments, and we, some of them crossed the line a little bit, guys, all right? I, it sucks we even have to open this way, but just want to let you guys know, like, I love Snap, I still love Snap, it's an incredible game with a very unique flavor that I don't think will ever go away and also, like, my love for this community, and everything tied to it, but as a creator, and as a father, and as a husband, you know, we'll keep growing as people, and that's going to naturally happen. So to hear and have words put in both of our mouths at several times, we and Alex, I think are very pros at ignoring the noise. I don't think we've ever cared about that, but we've done two and a half years of never missing, and that expectation is pretty hard to follow up on. I think the pressure has gotten to us a lot of times at, at certain areas and times, and We don't want that for us. We're gonna keep on trying not to break that streak But if you saw last episode, you know how much we love We're loving this and loving each other and it Listen, I love I love marvel snap a lot I love alex 10 times more than that and you know, this isn't going it's not going anywhere and I appreciate the passion. We love that you care. I'm going on a model on but we love that you guys care how much that we put this out on time and not missing it. But at the same time, there's definitely like a line that I feel like was a tad crossed.
Alexander Coccia:I feel like you should never have to apologize for your success. You've done a tremendous amount of work for the snap community. I remember watching your early videos and thinking that this guy's amazing. Like look at all the, the editing and just the way you handle yourself, the way you speak, the way you can carry entertainment. It's incredible. And somehow you've continued to make that process better. You've continued to make each and every video better. And it's only natural. That you enter another space like Marvel Rivals and you, you take off because at your heart, you're an incredibly talented creator and incredibly motivated creator. And guess what? You're also extremely committed to the profession, to your family, and of course, to the The, the promises you make in the Snapchat and everything else, and I know you're trying your best and I hope that everyone watching understands that Cozy is trying his best. I never want you to feel cozy that you're in a position where you have to apologize for your success. The fact that you're being, you know, you're doing so well in Rivals. It, it, this is, this is a great opportunity for you. And I think that every Snapchat that I get to do with you is not only a ton of fun, but it's also something that Like that last episode, like I, I watched it back, like smiling ear to ear and I hope we can continue doing this, but also I want you to know that at the same time, so proud of the success you have found and I hope that our audience who has watched you progress through over 124 episodes of the Snapchat is proud of you too.
Cozy Snap:Well, it's official guys. I'm getting a tattoo on my chest says I love Alex Kocher, big Canadian fly the whole works. Thank you, buddy. You know, the love I have a for you for, and I think, you know, the love that I have for this and, and not only Snapchat, but just. Trying to, trying to do, you know as much as I can for each and the, the what, you know, what it takes, I think there are times I, you know, wish I had more time you know, certainly, and without question, you know, this is easily the most fun I have, like, this is so fun every week, like that, that's truly what drives a lot of this and altogether, man I, I appreciate that, listen, I totally give you guys hate rivals. No, no harm to like I obviously man a different strokes for different folks as they always say, right? We're all bound to like our own thing. Never force you guys to watch that content Please don't has it affected the content here slightly not even slightly. Yes, it has and I'm sad about it but it doesn't mean I'm not gonna you know Try my damn hardest to keep on getting videos out and I don't think it represents like current times never represent current picture Right. So I could come back in two weeks and do five deck guides. It all depends on what's happening in my life right now. Personal life also extremely crazy. A lot of things I can't even share. So that's what's been going on over here. Hate to start this, you know, with a little bit of a cold open rather than our usual warmth that we have here. We're excited about to talk about today and what it has to bring, but we just saw as a whole some of the reception and. Again, there's been times Alex hasn't been able to make it and we barely made it happen, vice versa. And we don't want that pressure on us, ever. We plan on making it all the time. We've got two and a half years. But if we don't, it's gonna inevitably happen. And if it does, it's okay. It's gonna be okay, guys. But with that, it's gonna be a quicker episode today, but we're gonna kinda give our first impressions. Of fire hair and our thoughts on her obviously she came out yesterday as of today's recording and just kind of our first thoughts Playing with the guard even though it's been a busy week I've been able to get some snapping and play with a good amount of fire hair there. Also ota Killed me. I could not do my video on the ota but obviously been able to experience the ota and kind of give a recap review what But y'all missed if you missed it yourself and or our thoughts on that. And then we're going to talk about the future of the Snapchat. We put that bad boy first, Alex, what are we talking about on your side?
Alexander Coccia:Cozy. We'll be talking about star brand in review. I know the card's already gone, but we'll be talking about star brand. Nonetheless, we'll be talking about whether or not season pass cards are OP. Let's just have a little frank conversation about the state of season pass cards. And then finally, as always, our Snapchat mailbag
Cozy Snap:fire here, obviously. If we were to talk about her on Monday, we were both very excited about the card. We had high, you know, anticipations about her working, you know, with misery and destroy and everything under the sun. And I would say she performed even, so even better than I thought in the role that she was going to play, but about evened out where I thought she would be ultimately, like as a card, she's really good, but the decks she's. I still think we're even just scratching the surface.
Alexander Coccia:You literally knocked out of the park with what you just said. That's exactly how I felt as well. Basically the card has tremendous potential. The fact that it can trigger multiple times on multiple destroys and has like, it just makes it insane. Like quite frankly, it's insane. However, the deck building has to get figured out. This feels like, do you know what it feels like? It feels like anti venom. It feels like Ajax where like the first couple attempts or the first couple of weeks of deck building are going to be sloppy. And then some genius is going to figure out a way to break fire here. And it's going to bring the meta to its knees. It feels like it has that type of potential. And it's also, I know we like, we love using this phrase, but it's going to age like fine wine because it synergizes with destroy. It synergizes with on reveal. It synergizes with so many different things. I already came away impressed and to touch on what you were saying, when I came into my testing, I had like eight decks ready. Like I did not know where to start. I had eight decks ready and some of them were crap. This is the way it works. And a couple of them, I'm like, damn, I can't believe Firehair just actually completely tipped the scales for that game single handedly. So I was really impressed.
Cozy Snap:Yeah, I had the ultimate time playing with her because I played her while I was waiting in line for rides at Disney, which was fantastic. So I had a long time. I would have like 40 minute spurts and I agreed like I would open up, like I open up, I'm like, okay, what deck First? I'm like, oh gosh, there's just so many. And I gotta tell you man, so Destroy obviously felt really good. Like there's just so much you could do with Destroy and I think how you just said agent, like fine wine, she's gonna do even better. Especially when we get those two cards we were talking about last week that enabled like that Kid
Alexander Coccia:Omega and Elixir. I think Synergize will destroy. Yeah,
Cozy Snap:those two are gonna be crazy with it. Like. The, the combo making of like three turns ahead is going to be so nuts with Firehair. Like she complicates the game in a great way so that was a lot of fun. I know like Thor and Billy Ray Billy Ray, Billy Bob, Billy Ray Cyrus, God I'm tired. Beta Ray and Thor, it was nasty, like really good. Misery clearly, like. The, you know, the term misery loves company, right? Like clearly that was a a synergy. I think Mill always is fun to play and then you play it and you're like, it hovers at like a 51, 52, whatever percent, but she obviously made it that much better. I know, I don't know if you saw that Galactus clip with her. That was nuts. Like she has really cool interactions and again, we're only a day past her release. And so that's what has me, has me pumped, man. Like this card has tremendous value in the future.
Alexander Coccia:Where I played her and I had the most success with like, there was a bunch of different successful decks, but the one that really stood out to me was I was playing this list. It was a Shuri Nimrod. Symbiote Spider Man deck with Destroyer, and what was awesome was, if you think about these lines, right, you play Fire Hero on turn two and then, like, you might actually, not even turn two, because I had a magic, so I can do it later, but if I do, like, a Wolverine turn two, then I Deathlock the Wolverine, and then I play Shurier, Symbiote Spider Man, Nimrod, and then on turn then eventually you get Fire Hero as well, so, yeah. When you destroy the, the, like, whether it's Carnage or Deathlok or whatever, whenever you Venom that lane, Firehair is going to reproc the destroy, and so the Nimrods will split, and then Firehair will split them again. And then you can split it again, because you usually have a combination of like, Venom Carnage, Venom Deathlok, to close out the game on turn 7. It was actually incredible, there was Nimrods everywhere. Literally everywhere. And so I had a lot of fun with that particular deck. And again, that's like the kind of shell that I don't think people were really picking up for fire hair and it made the deck better. And so it made me wonder of like, where else are we not thinking we're fire is going to be successful.
Cozy Snap:Yeah. It could not be a better card to have, even though we're doing like kind of her, our first impressions, like the interview on your side next week will be perfect because we'll have that much more time to like, okay, this is truly what we think. I mean, I could tell you, I feel pretty confident that if you are. If you have a good like token influx right now and or like want her I think she's gonna be good My fear of her is the common fear of cars like this She's gonna get nerfed in some capacity. Like do I see a 2 2 in her future? Probably probably right? Like could that even go down lower who knows depends how broken she is with other cards that come out This will be a card though that she's so powerful that they're gonna have to think about when they're making new cards You know, like how some cars have that mr Negative effect where like they have to think about it in design She's going to be a part of that, especially with how prevalent on reveal is and common on a destroyed XR.
Alexander Coccia:So in my testing, like we both came in at like, well, I came in at five, you came in at 4. 5, then like drifted to five eventually. And I can see it feeling this week, not like a five star card.
Cozy Snap:Yeah.
Alexander Coccia:But I, with confidence feel like this could potentially in the long run be a five star card because of the potential, the ceiling is absolutely insane. And if you think about the spotlight cash week as well, we're talking about rolling in a spotlight cash week with fire hair, Cassandra Nova and Nico Minoru, like. We talked about how there's landmines and spotlight caches and they're just not good enough. Like, this is the example of like, I'll go three, four keys and I'm feeling okay about it. You know what I mean? Like, it's a great week. And fire here is going to be one of those cards that like, you will not be able to substitute. Like this is such a combo piece and such a unique effect. Like there is no. Substitute for something like fire hair and we're only on the onset of the deck building with it. So for me, like, I don't know, I'm looking forward to the final review in just a couple of days, I guess, but like we'll have more like perspective, but like, yeah, like I, I'm pretty confident that this card is going to have a good spot in Marvel snap.
Cozy Snap:Absolutely, man. Yeah. So we'll find out more on Alex's side on Monday and how we break. You know the rest of her down and what she can do fire hair fire hand I can't tell you how many times I had to actually think about What her real name was because of you honestly because of the snapchat episode we had a few days ago But yeah, it was fun. It was this was like the best possible card to test in line I did like this could not have been like if it was star brand I would have been like, you know What you're talking about, but it's just like more like one sided, right? whereas this was like what I want to do I can you know, I can do anything but anyway, we're gonna move on we've got ota Recap now. This is one of the otas. I feel like I like of course I'll cover the ota where there's like one change or something minimal and then this one we had just A ton of stuff. Like this OTA was just stacked with with a bunch of changes to relevant cards, man. I mean, there's two that stand out to me that we have to kind of break out first. I mean, should we just start with Loki at this point? I think Loki, I feel like is the, is the, is the, is one of the main ones to highlight here. They addressed not only things that were kind of towards the the top of the meta, but then they also Hit on a bunch of other cards, which alex has always cracks me up They kind of mentioned how like this car doesn't seem limelight in a while. We wanted to bring it Even though there's several cards that can kind of be in that, that bucket, Loki going down to a one, two bro, I saw this and I immediately just thought, Oh God, this is going to be so interesting into how many decks does he truly fit in?
Alexander Coccia:I like this change. I haven't actually had a chance to play much Loki just because fire hair and some others have been, and I really wanted star brand at work. And so I, I focused a lot of energy on the new cards and not necessarily on some of the OTA ones. I had a couple thoughts. First of all, Loki, I think that the changes to Loki made me a little sad because the, the original design while overpowered, I think was tremendously fun, especially when you consider having like, I had like this God split on Loki. And so watching my whole hand turn into this beautiful gold ink split, which is awesome. There was elements to it that I missed. Moving it to a one cost, I think, makes a lot of sense. And obviously, this card has seen so many different changes. You know, one to dodge its outright insane power at the start. And then you had one to dodge the Ereshim. And then one to dodge, no, one to dodge Collector, one to dodge Ereshim. And then it's like all these different changes. And then I had this thought. Can you imagine if this 1 2 Loki existed with Chavez? The original Chavez, that thinned the deck and also turned itself into one of the cards that you can draw. Like, absolutely insane. Obviously you wouldn't have drawn it, you would have drawn it on six anyway, because it would have been something else. But like the one thing about Loki is you want him on turn one now. Just like you want Zabo on turn one. I, I'm, I'm actually kind of happy about this change. At least it puts Loki back into the lane of being a legitimate archetype again.
Cozy Snap:Absolutely. With that too, we had when I say smaller, not so much, but, you know, quick conversation. Hell hell cow. And Swordmaster all hit to kind of tame the Hela archetype, which made sense. I mean, they did such a bold change with the scar. Like it ended up helping Hela more than I think they intended. And they wanted to bring that down. And Hela is just one of those. Archetypes that people just they just they just don't like if it's if it's too good
Alexander Coccia:Yeah, I mean hella as a whole I think part of the issue is like the lack of interactivity with it Yeah, and the new version of hella though like if you think about like the beta hella beta hella was You play invisible woman you modoc and then you just play hella behind invisible woman You know what? I mean? Like that's basically what the plan was But now, like, there's so much consistent power, like, you're, you're, like, even Swordmaster got buffed, like, Swordmaster was not always a 3 7, like, it was a 3 6, it got buffed to a 3 7, so you're playing Swordmaster, you're playing Haukau, you're playing all these kind of chonky cards, and they're consistently hitting things you need, and Hela's never getting discarded, and so there's this lack of interactivity for your opponent, And you're throwing down a tremendous amount of power that they can't anticipate where the power is going to go. Yeah, like, it's just, it's just a little too much. And even if you're running something at Alioth, like, because they have no cards on the board, you can't clog them. So you can't really guess. It's just a 33%, 33. 33, repeating, of course, chance to guess Hela. Yeah. Like it's just, it's an uninteractive card, unfortunately. And I think it frustrates people.
Cozy Snap:The greatly Roy Jenkins as Alex loves to quote here on, on the Snapchat, how we feel about mama Mia, black cat going. I feel like she lost a lot of her identity. Like I get that black cats been in the game so long at this point. Right. So she kind of, she kind of bring in Alex has just this, this,
Alexander Coccia:what do you like? You're just the monetizing your own channel. He's just smiling.
Cozy Snap:He's just smiling. Are they? He's like. Yeah. Hey,
Alexander Coccia:listen, now I got to just, just keep eye contact with cozy, just her
Cozy Snap:identity a little bit. I felt like with this, like we already have interesting discard stuff with like two, six with other good value stats. And you know, I think they measured, they try to bring it down to a three before that didn't work. So they brought her down to a two. It's fine, like, I mean, there's cool things you can do with it now, but I almost, like, I liked where she was at. I wish they would have tested the other stuff first, and then came back to this, potentially.
Alexander Coccia:You know what it was? It was just that, at, like, whatever, 10, 9 power, what's the power she was at? I can't remember. She was changed so many times. Yeah. She was just so much extra power for Hela. Like, it was just a free Hela card. Yeah. That you didn't even have to do anything, you didn't have to risk discarding Hela, nothing. And I think their idea here is not only are you taking power off the top, but, like, is there a world? Where you're playing like a surge deck or something where you're just playing top decks nonstop and you top deck block cat You know, I mean and they're like, yeah, I can play this You know, I mean, I guess this is a car that you actually run the risk of trying to play like really it only dies In your opening hand.
Cozy Snap:Yeah. Yeah. No, it's definitely fair. I mean, I think The value makes sense. Obviously, it's there. I I just I don't know. I felt like what it did for discard was Kind of unique and now it's still unique, but it's just it's less of so I guess like the there's times like because she's only two It's so much easier to be able to play her for just good stuff. Which is a 410, right? so that I mean obviously, yeah, you're right that was just stupid stats, but 2 6. Yeah, if you get the lock and then great outside of the opening hand Yeah, anyway, I think this card though. They have a lot of plans with this card still We have more cards coming out to help it And I mean, heck, you got, you know, Ghost Rider coming out. He's gonna bring whatever. Obviously, we have Khonshu and who knows what that brings. So maybe they're looking ahead a little bit here. So we have those changes. We also had, and I know, this one, there's a couple puzzling things. First, let's, before we talk about Doom, let's talk about the shield for Captain America. I think it's funny, we brought up his interaction with Cole before he was even out. Like, man, I think I was like, hey, I think this is going to be cool.
Alexander Coccia:Actually, yeah, I remember it blew my mind. I was like, oh yeah, like that's crazy. Cause I think I literally was blown away on the Snapchat when you brought it up. I hadn't thought of it at the time.
Cozy Snap:So I, I was puzzled. Cause I'm like, well, if I thought about that without even playing the card, like I would have, I would have wished that was something they thought about without like. Letting that happen for a while and then taking that out because there's such a cool interesting interaction that made cool I mean I get I get The philosophy behind it, but it doesn't make me like it
Alexander Coccia:I get it like they were listening to the chat snapchat You said what if you play culp city with it and glenn's like? Shut
Cozy Snap:at his home. At his home having like his morning coffee like no.
Alexander Coccia:Yeah, never thought of that. Yeah, no, you're absolutely right. And I mean, the change probably had to happen. It's a little unfortunate'cause Culp City was just free real estate. He was suffering. So to play a TMA with him.
Cozy Snap:I'm glad they didn't change Cole at least like I'd rather the change here. Yeah. And then like make him like a four nine or whatever, just like ruin that deck even more. So what he does, but and then do bro, do what, when he came out, we looked back, we're like, ah, I think he's gonna be a pretty good car. Definitely a fun car. And now he has been like Uber nerfed. Your boy gave him five stars. Yeah. I was, I was, I was headed there. I was heading that direction of Alex's like, was the OG super doom lover over here. And my gosh, like two points in a row on the, on the doom bots, man.
Alexander Coccia:What was interesting about this change? And obviously untapped is like a, it's, it's a snapshot at potential accurate information. Right. It was running like a 5 percent play rate. Despite still having a good win rate, but they basically said it was the de facto best 4 drop in the game. And so they went after it again, despite the fact that, honestly, I played a lot of Snap. That was even, I think that was the Twitch Drops week. I was playing so much Snap, I wasn't playing against Doom bots, man. People weren't playing Doom and, like, the Decent Infinite. Like, I wasn't seeing it. And so, the nerf honestly surprised me. I was like, oh, okay. This has happened before. Remember when they nerfed Darkhawk? Yeah, that's what it reminded me of, dude.
Cozy Snap:The Darkhawk change, this is the exact same thing. I was like, hmm. I wasn't seeing that, but I guess it's metrically good on their side. Like, you know, it's doing better than they thought it is sad though, to see what he wants was like, this is. Because of the snowball effect of what he can do.
Alexander Coccia:Yeah I think now you have to lean more into the ongoing like now it's more it feels like in my early testing again I haven't played a ton of doom 2099 because of the new cards has been coming out But like it feels more like huh? I really have to hit these with spectrum now, you know, I mean, I don't know That's just yeah, that's just my take on that
Cozy Snap:for sure man. Thanos, you know, they talked about they had big plans for the stones It doesn't seem like that Doesn't seem like they worked out what those are going to be ever. Maybe those turn into automotive cars. I don't know but you know that has got himself a little bit of love here And I think I think it works dude was thanos a sick wasn't he an eight power card when he came out? Was he 8 was ever 8 power. I think he was the first 7,
Alexander Coccia:wasn't he?
Cozy Snap:He was 6, 8, no power. Yeah, he was like a 6, 8. Oh, I was
Alexander Coccia:thinking
Cozy Snap:cost.
Alexander Coccia:Yeah, no, power wise, I think he was a I think he was 9 and they buffed him to 6, 10.
Cozy Snap:Maybe he was 9, maybe he was 9. All I know is I was thinking about him and then I was thinking about like Agamotto and some of these, you name it bro, Surtur and I'm like, oh my god, the Mad Titan like the essence of power. Was so bad on release power wise. And now we've gotten them up is six 12 and his stones are great. Thanos, we have seen time over time. It's just the card that they want to like cycle in and out. Of relevance, and sometimes it doesn't work.
Alexander Coccia:Let's be honest, so the, whatever drawing board they did, like whiteboard work they did on the new Thanos stones, turned into Infinity Altron and Agamotto. Those are literally stones. Right? Like, they took those and they're like, Oh, what about like OG Thanos? Like, well, if we Turn it into a new card, like Agamotto. We can sell more season passes. So maybe we'll do that. And we'll give that was supposed to be, and they're like, Oh, the space stone sucks to play. I'm like, bro, the whole thing sucks to play. Like,
Cozy Snap:dude, that actually, that's such a good leeway. Whenever we get to your subject. But before on that is like, I feel like they're in the design room at times. And they're like, what if this car did this? And you know, the guy in the suits in the back is like, you know what that sounds like? That sounds like a February season pass cards. But like anything that's super cooks, they're like, write that down. That's how that's a season pass card. But yeah, that, that, that, that definitely that is I maybe that maybe, maybe they bring the new design that was Christmas. Yeah, I was around then.
Alexander Coccia:I don't remember man, but like I gotta tell you, I love Thanos and I hope that Thanos is like legit at least playable because listen, anybody that's burning on, on snap, it's cause you're probably playing the same damn thing all the time. Like playing Thanos feels totally different than playing regular snap. It gets a very different experience. Actually, I was testing a Thanos death deck. It was kind of cool. My hand was fully in time. I had a token double dinosaur in there for no reason. My hand was always stacked.
Cozy Snap:There are times where whenever I am too busy to, to be able to get deck guys out. And this is a product for my own design of like man I wish I would have not gone with overproduction on half my videos because sometimes I could have just spit out a deck idea But i'm like, oh this would be so cool And it always begins with like thanos destroy and like trying to do something with the killmonger and the chaos of it all And now with with our new fire hair over here,
Alexander Coccia:I'm joined today, as I always am, by the man who's dressed like a Hawaiian surfer. I, I just, I don't even know. Is that, is that a surfer shirt? What is that? It's like sweater? I don't even know what you're dressed like. When I get
Cozy Snap:stopped and people ask about it, I like to say that I'm one of those guys that help land the airplanes. You know? I do this, but I'm the, I'm the cone. Like I'm the stick that they wave. You're the stick that they wave? To land the plane.
Alexander Coccia:Aren't they just red? Just red sticks? This
Cozy Snap:would do a much better job of landing the plane. All right. That, that, that, that's all I know. This is dude, this has been a, I've had, this thing is like it's almost dying and I can't use it. You want to know the catch? All my content lately has been green screen and this, you cannot wear this thing. I would, I'm like see through bro, completely. So I'm like, you know what? In the most like metal hard look at this like art in the middle and I'm wearing this it's fantastic
Alexander Coccia:It actually reminded I think it was Dexter that said did he say that we were we were somewhere, right? And it's so funny cuz like we were we wrote and someone recognized you like hey cozy and like they were like talking to you They were so excited to meet you. I was like in there a snapchat fan I was standing right beside you, but they didn't even notice I was there to be and in Dexter's like ice peacocking
Cozy Snap:Peacock. Yeah, that's what that's the goal. I, I, I, I tried to peacock in my life. I didn't even know what that meant. I think until he said, I think I heard it in a movie or something. It's like,
Alexander Coccia:yeah, I'm pretty sure. Yeah. It's, it's about the, of the fact it's like, I was dressed like this and then you're wearing like, I think you were wearing that green, the, the The teal jacket that you always have with the wolf
Cozy Snap:on it. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You look like a Greek god, might I say, right now. I look like a Greek god? You look great. You do. Which
Alexander Coccia:one? The one that just drinks until he's blocking
Cozy Snap:out? Yeah, there's the wine god. Bear or something. B something. Well, I should know this from my anyway. What, I do have to tell you something. I was in a, I was in a Costco this week. I hate your, I hate your effect on me. Like, I It's like, like, when you go to church, you think about God. I go to Costco, I think about Alex. And I, I, it, you, I can't escape you. I can't, I, and, and, can I tell you what else I hate, bro? Is I hate that you're right about it. Like, I'm around, I'm getting the samples. Like, I had some, what the hell, the corned beef sample. I don't eat corned beef a lot. I was like, this is fantastic. This whole place is great. Look at the deal. I don't even need that. And I'm going to buy that. That's what I think they do. Well, and it's all good tasting too. I hate you.
Alexander Coccia:I'm sorry, dude. I'm sorry. Yeah. Costco's fantastic. And I was actually, sometimes I wonder, I'm like, yo, if I were to start just loading buggies with toilet paper, could I start the toilet paper run? Like right here, right now in Canada, where someone like takes it. TikTok of me loading carts worth of toilet paper and it just kind of moves through the, it goes viral and then all of a sudden everyone's hoarding toilet paper again, no one knows why, they're like, tariffs, you gotta get the toilet paper, they're gonna tariff the toilet paper, and then it's like, I don't know man, I just, I had that thought, I was in Costco staring at the pile of toilet paper, I'm like, could I do this right now? Could I do it
Cozy Snap:every time I look at their clothes section? I'm like alex would wear that. Oh, look at that Another alex original right there
Alexander Coccia:Wait, what do you think? I got this shirt, right? Definitely cost like 16
Cozy Snap:Definitely has the gosco the gosco look to it. Yeah, it's great. You are I know I It's a shame they've never sponsored you. It would be a very big waste of their sponsorship money. I don't know if card gaming and Costco really inter You know, well, a little bit. Physical card products. Physical card products. Dude,
Alexander Coccia:they have Magic the Gathering commander decks right now. I actually took a picture of them. The new ones? I thought about it. I'm like, man, should I tweet out, like, because I wasn't sure which Four different commander decks. It's the outlaw junction ones and they have like four different ones. And I was like, Oh, I kind of only want to buy one or two. Like which one should I buy? And I was going to throw it out there. I mean, actually, if you're listening to this and you want to give me your opinion, let me know in the comments.
Cozy Snap:There's a new Spider Man one coming out later this year. They're doing a I don't know if it's secret layer, but they're doing a new magic crossover with Spider Man. It's going to be sick. And the magic ones that they have with the, with Marvel already is impeccable. And there's some of the best storms, like the single best commander right now.
Alexander Coccia:That's unbelievable. Yeah, I gotta figure, I gotta figure it out. Like, I've just been, I bought a whole bunch of the Fallout ones. I showed you the Dogme one. I was hunting for the Dogme one forever.
Cozy Snap:We should do a Commander with like me, you, and Dexter. Cause, you know, Commander is such a social game, right? So like, it would be so fun to have like the four of us who don't play that often, right? But when we played all together, it would be so I feel like me and you would win because of just, cause Because like we I'm not attacking you. We're just winners, baby. Yeah, but I'm like, I'm not gonna attack your face You know what? I mean? I'm like, I I love you You know, I can't dexter has an attackable face, but I can't attack you.
Alexander Coccia:You can't
Cozy Snap:attack dexter
Alexander Coccia:He's too
Cozy Snap:cute. Who else would be in there? Who'd be our fourth bin? It. Get bro on bro. Get bro on. You gonna make this
Alexander Coccia:happen. Do you commander with, oh dude, Glen. I texted him yesterday. Obviously
Cozy Snap:Glen would be great. I
Alexander Coccia:texted Ben and Glen. Glen would destroy us though. Like he
Cozy Snap:actually played a ton of magic. Glenn, Glen would, B, he made magic. We can't play. Yeah, we can't. We can't play. He's like an advisor to half the stuff they make. Yeah. I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna get Glen. I texted Ben the other day and he was in the middle of Jerry duty. And he responded to you? Yeah. Well, later, that's the pool you have. It was a little later, it was like an hour. He was like, Hey bro, mid jury duty, what's up? And I was like, no big deal. I need you to do this. And I was gonna ask him to do a whole bit. And, and he is He's like, I'm not near anything. I'm like, just film me where you are right now. And he is. Cameras are illegal, screw it. But yeah, we would have been as our, as our fourth. What are we talking about today? What do we, what are we doing again today over here? What is this? Are we filming?
Alexander Coccia:I don't know, but if you want to know the difference between cozy snap and Alexander Kocha, it's that if I were to text Ben Brode, his response would have been, who's this?
Cozy Snap:I think you're selling yourself short. Alex Kocha, you are. You're a famous man.
Alexander Coccia:You know what, I'm only famous because I get to spend my podcasting days with the peacock himself. What can I say? But you know what, we're talking about big and bad and great stuff. You know, okay, Costco's big, we know that. But it's great. You know what's big and bad? Like actually kind of bad? Starbrand. And it's actually really sad. Starbrand is incredibly disappointing, guys. I have bad news. Cozy and I came in at 4 stars. Cozy, it's not looking like Starbrand's gonna be hitting 4 star territory. I got some really, really bad news from a win rate perspective. 46 percent Cube rate negative 31 7 percent popularity The Saron deck that you would have expected to play him in running a 48 percent win rate. This card is a 310 just pile of poo. And it's so unfortunate, but you know what, I don't think it's Starbrand's fault. I think the Sauron archetype needs more than just Starbrand.
Cozy Snap:Yeah, there's too much going on with other decks, too many things. Just look at Firehair, man. Firehair giving you a hood, you get ten demons, you get two Iron Patriot cards back, and you you win, right? With this, you're like, I hope my big stat wins, and it just And it comes with this, like, 10 cons, right? Yeah, it's a bummer. I think I mean, it really shows you where we are in Snap, you know, and I think there are times in metas where, like, big stat stick is good, and it works, and there's times where it's, like, more combo centric or different He just doesn't do enough of what he's throwing into the table.
Alexander Coccia:I'm gonna call it right now. Cause I think that if you're gonna try and fix Sauron and make it a playable archetype, Sauron turns into a 2 2. You heard it here first. Sauron gets changed to a 2 2, and then you could play, basically, Like, Sauron on 2, Starbrand on 3, Typhoid on 4, and there's an actual curve, and at least the deck has some semblance of being competitive.
Cozy Snap:I'm glad you mentioned that, because it is, it's less of like, the cards that are supporting it, because they're good, and they work, and you have Lizard, and you have him, you have Typhoid, you have Red Skull. It's just like the or the order of the flow and like Soran and like what do you do? It's just awkward. There's no like good curve play to it. It's almost like Black Swan at times where it's like it does great thing But when do you play it with other things that you need to also do?
Alexander Coccia:Yeah It's like well Black Swan the whole problem with Black Swan is like how many hoops do I got to jump through to get value out of this card? Right. And part of the problem with Starbrand and Sauron was that they occupy the same turn and you, you have to play Sauron first. And so Starbrand turns into a turn six play under most circumstances, which also requires you to play Zabu on turn one so that you can Typhoid Marion Starbrand. Like, yeah, that's how you get that 48 percent win. The 40 percent of the, 48 percent of the time, it's because you drew Zabu on one and then you're able to play Sauron into Starbrand Typhoid. And the line, the line had to be too specific. And ultimately like it just wasn't enough man. It wasn't enough and then all the other shells He was actually working in serger from my testing and in serger. He has a higher win rate, but it's still not great But it's just because serger carried, you know what I mean? It's not because of star brand star brand probably brought the win rate down for that deck
Cozy Snap:Yeah, just other ways to get it done. There's just other ways to get it done I mean again what I just said with the whole hood and misery and fire hair like how many demons you're getting at that point That could just There's just easier ways to get the stat sticks these days and more creative like ultimate deck synergy and even more importantly is The stat stick decks are very straightforward. So there's not a lot of like trojan horse going on, you know what I mean? They know what you're doing. They know what's happening. And so like with something like again, I would just bring up fire hair But with that, it's like, what is it going to do? Even the Nimrod deck you mentioned, right? It's like, it's so hard to calculate everything going on. And like, what, how much power is going to be? It's like, it's pretty, there's only five outcomes from, you know, a Sauron deck, let's say, or Surtur, you can kind of do the math. That's where I feel like it it lacks a bit and yeah It it's just a card you can wait on at the end of the day And if Soran gets a boost then great
Alexander Coccia:Yeah and I mean at the end of the day like I came away disappointed because I this was one of the cards I was most Excited for because I actually like the Sauron archetype, but it's not necessarily Sorbran's fault. That whole archetypes is not good enough It's your
Cozy Snap:highest rated, but this was your favorite of the month. I remember you saying this was your favorite Like most excited card of this month before. Yeah. And it disappointed me and let me down
Alexander Coccia:cozy. Yeah. Big
Cozy Snap:expectation, big disappointment.
Alexander Coccia:But you know what? Almost never lets us down is spending 10 American on a season pass card. I thought you could say that was one of the best transitions in a while. Cozy. Usually you roast me for my segues. I always admit that that was a good one. I was
Cozy Snap:going to get, it was, I was going to say Rick roll, you know, you're never going to, I'm never going to give you up. Never going to let you never let you down. Never going to turn. Okay. Yes, that was a good transition. And with that. And I killed it a little bit, but I had to say the word. Anywho, our season pass card's OP, Alex.
Alexander Coccia:You know what? They're, so this, this whole conversation kind of stemmed from there was a, a Reddit thread, right? Every once in a while I stumble on the Reddit. I don't know why I do it either, but I
Cozy Snap:did. And someone
Alexander Coccia:said that this is what they always do. They release an OP season pass card and they nerf it once they're free to free to play Plebs, get their hands on it. That's their words, not mine. And then Realistically, I was like, you know what? I don't know if that's actually true. We have seen some very highly impactful season pass cards. And we do know that Second Inter has mentioned in the past that they want the season pass card to be meta relevant. And that they almost want the season to be, not necessarily revolving around that card, but it to have a major impact. And I think one of the premier examples of this was the Loki season, where Loki was obviously overpowered. And they never wanted to nerf Loki. They nerfed everything around him. Collector got hit, everything else got hit. But Loki seemed to have this plot armor because he was a season pass card. So, I just want to go through a couple things here, okay? March 2024, we had Hope Summers, which never got changed. We had Baron Zemo in April 2024, never got changed. We had Blink, May 2024. Never got changed. June was Gilgamesh, that had to get buffed. Gwenpool was July, no changes. Kate Bishop with no changes in August. So already you have a big string of cards that realistically have all been pretty decent, have all found their places in the meta, but not necessarily game breaking, despite the fact that they kind of carry their own there. You had the symbiote Spider Man for September 2024, which had to get buffed. Then you had Agent Venom, which had to get nerfed. Agent Venom was the first one, but now listen to this, listen to this run. Agent Venom, Surtur, Galacta, Iron Patriot, Sam Wilson, Agamotto. So like, I'm going through this list and I'm thinking to myself, Okay, nah, it's not all that bad. And then all of a sudden it's like, Whoa, these last five months, what are we doing? So I actually, Cozy, I'm hitting you with the hook here. I'm flip flopping on my original play here. I was like, Oh, you know, it's not that bad. Cozy, it might actually just be bad.
Cozy Snap:You know, here's the thing though. I think, I think at the end of the day, it's not rocket science. It's not that they plan this around how the game's doing as a whole, but like I think that cards that are super fun and inter like, There was a slump, whether whatever you want to say, there was a slump and snap at one point, especially towards the end of the year, start of the year, and I think that Honestly, given to a lot of the creativeness of some of these season pass cards, it's kind of increased that a little bit. But yes, I think overall, they've always been a bit too good. I mean, like, you can look at it outside of I mean, going back to Zabu and Silver Surfer and Hitmonkey, like, these are ones that are bang, bang, bang, they all had to adjust. It's high high evolutionary. Another card that they had to adjust. And you had Ghost Spider. Obviously not, you know, anywhere near there. Then you had Phoenix Force that got boosted right after that. These are just off the top of the head, right? And then it was like Daken, I believe. I don't know why I know some of this stuff. This could be out of order a bit, but It's crazy, yeah. Regardless, because it goes Daken, Loki something Miss Marvel. What was October? I forgot. Oh Elsa. So like, it also got massively nerfed, right? There's, there's been way more good overpowered Season Pass cards than there have been bad. Like, a tremendous amount. And it's like a dance that they do, almost. But we have been on a bit of a heater. That's for sure.
Alexander Coccia:Do you think Agamotto is continuing the trend? Cause some people seem to think he's not that bad. I think, I don't wanna, no, I don't wanna I think Agamotto's great. I
Cozy Snap:think he's
Alexander Coccia:very interesting. I don't wanna kind of disrupt your, your thought process here. Like what do you think Agamotto is right now? Like if you were to give him a star rating based on your opinion right now. Like what would you give him a preliminary? I
Cozy Snap:don't, I don't know. I can tell you that I'd give him a 5 star of uniqueness, fun, and like entertainment value. And that's what matters.
Alexander Coccia:You like, you like getting Wind of Wutum hit every single time for a slide to the right for me. No, no, but others
Cozy Snap:do, but others do. Like, yeah, that Gared's obviously busted. I mean, but like, more of like, he's so interesting in what he does. He's like a high evolutionary. He's like an Aresham. And so like, that was going to sell it regardless.
Alexander Coccia:Yeah, I guess that's fair. It's worth noting as well that we focus in on the season pass cards. But we've just had a lot of meta shakers coming out lately. Like, It seems as though, for the most part, most of the spotlight caches are actually really good. Like, in the Symbiote Spider Man season it's easy to forget that, like, that was Silver Sable Madame Web. Like, think about, remember the Madame Web season? Like, MOVE people were rejoicing at the potential of what those spotlight caches had. In the Kate Bishop season, you had Wiccan and Speed, right? And then, in Agent Venom, I mean, the standout there is gonna be Scream. Like, Scream created a whole archetype, and so, while the season pass cards have been good, I think that we've had many good caches as well. Is it just general power creep? So,
Cozy Snap:AgentVidim's tough because, like, he was ridiculously broken. They had to tune him immediately, right? But like another thing about it though is that everyone swarms to it's all like the brilliant minds and snap everyone swarms at the season Pass cards to create the most unique decks and to create the most, you know what I mean? But yeah power creeps just happening regardless like that's something that every game runs into at some point in time or another It's, and the OTAs always have that, like, vow release of, of that. Do I think they're too, I mean, we've had this discussion here before, do we think cards should release bad or good? I'm always towards the worse side, you're towards the good side, I think, and we've had our discussions and reasons on why. I think the reason I'm always, I would rather a card be a little less good when it comes out is because people are gonna be hesitant to get it, and then it gets better over time. It's a lose lose either way because if it comes out bad and it gets buffed like Gilgamesh It's like they weren't selling enough. They they made it better And if it was too good and it was bad, then you didn't get what you bought So it's it's like either way they lose but I do think that season pass cards will always be a little bit More interesting and or better most of the time
Alexander Coccia:cozy. I'm gonna hit you with the question that like this is this is the hard one This is like the the setup. Okay cozy. Do you think that there's any consideration for? power of the season pass card versus potential revenue generation
Cozy Snap:Did I answer that? Yeah, like definitely
Alexander Coccia:okay, so you think that like they sit there you kind of joked about it earlier, but Is there an opportunity for them to say, Hey, we think that this card is more interesting and we'll sell more as opposed to like, if they're going to release five cards, do they say this one's the most interesting that I'll sell the most, the rest are caches. Is that how you think they figure it out? Or do you think it's more about the meta shakeup?
Cozy Snap:It's theming and, or yeah, for sure. I mean, what I just said was, and it's always the, it's not always the best, but it's, what's the most unique and interesting, right. And that's. Literally, outside of like, Ghost Spider, which again, they probably thought that was gonna shake it up a lot, like, the move stuff, maybe, at the time. Cause like, Phoenix Force was not even close to the best card. Legion was. He was an S4 card, right? So sometimes they get it wrong, per se. I think they try their best to get it right. But then if you look at Phoenix Force, it brought the most unique thing to it. It created its own archetype. So, they're always gonna sell that. Always. It's the most interesting, unique, and or powerful thing,
Alexander Coccia:usually. Okay, that's absolutely fair. And for the record, I know I was throwing you on the spot, I agree with you. I think it's definitely a consideration that they have. And I don't know if that's a good or bad thing. Like, I don't know. Like, they're in Listen, the only reason why Marvel Snap has its lights on right now is because they sell season passes, and they sell variants, and their business makes sense, right? But at the same time, it's like I just hope that they also sit down and say, Hey, how do we make cards more accessible? And obviously the free modes have been doing the gameplay modes have been very kind of resourceful in that sense.
Cozy Snap:It's going to get worse, but this is what I mean by that and hear me out. I'm assuming whatever they do for new acquisition for cards is going to make it a way better to get cards. But season pass cards always have the limit of being a season pass card. So if cards get easier to easier to get season pass cards in theory down the line will like after the month it's been out. But on the arrival month, it'll be harder to get. Or stay the same, right? So like, if you make, I don't know what they're doing. But if you make tokens, whatever it might be. More, whatever it is. That's gonna be kind of a stop gate there a little bit, right? But it makes sense because you have It does make sense, but what I'll say is like, You get all the other stuff with the season pass card, right? So you're paying, what, 9. 99 at the U. S. To get all the resources to set you up for the month. Plus the card itself, but if they make card acquisition 10 X better, it's only going to make season pass cards feel 10 X worse for those that don't get it.
Alexander Coccia:I hear what you're saying, right? Cause it feels like such an immense value right now. Although you do have to spend your 10, I'm like, try to buy any other card. 10 is an absolute bargain compared to like buying the tokens or whatever, or the hundred dollar bundle for the variant to confer a card you don't have, or. God forbid you spend money on the 4U bundles or you can buy Mystique for 600. Right? It's like, you know what I mean? It's like, I see those tweets every once in a while, my buddy. Like what is going on? Who programmed these 4U bundles?
Cozy Snap:Yeah, bro. Right. I know. I know. I got one the other day, bro. I was like, what the hell am I looking at? I got a 4U bundle the other day. It was like. 99 bucks for like a dinosaur and something else. I don't even know what it was. It was like, get out of here. Instead
Alexander Coccia:of for you, they should just put F you. Yeah. And then I'd probably buy
Cozy Snap:it. F you, I'd be like, well, I respect the honesty. I'll buy it.
Alexander Coccia:F you. Here's Mystique for a hundred dollars. You know what I mean? Oh, fair.
Cozy Snap:Yeah.
Alexander Coccia:I do kind of suck. Yeah, it sounds about right. Yeah. And I guess the final question I'll ask on this topic here is So we, we definitely know that they're coming out stronger. What do you think Glenn's like target star rate? If he was going to use our scale, what do you think Glenn's target star rating for a season pass card is like, where do you think he's like, he's not really seeing a two star,
Cozy Snap:a four. I think a four and less and less times. You're off. It's a five, but like, can I tell you something? Like, some things are obvious. So if you look at Captain America win Falcon, what came out, what came out? That same that same time that, that did. Game mode. Oh man. Game mode. Just a game mode that will help you out.
Alexander Coccia:Obviously it was the the sanctum and what was good in that sanctum game. Oh, damn. Was he good in that sanct mode? Yeah, he gave free points, basically. Exactly.
Cozy Snap:So like, they know what to do, like, you know what I mean? So I I, whether it be a four or it helps out in some way or it's like, look. Yes, I think it's four, five, I, it's clearly never below a three because we've seen it been buffed. Like the only time it's fallen that short is like Phoenix force or Gilgamesh. And in those cases it got buffed within a week.
Alexander Coccia:Yeah. And I bet you, honestly, perhaps those cards just underperformed their expectations. I think they're probably shooting for like four and a half to be honest with you. I think five is too obvious. 4 might not make the suits happy.
Cozy Snap:Is Surtur too obvious? Bro,
Alexander Coccia:Surtur was so stupid. We called that like from the get go. And that wasn't even a like, that wasn't even like a gutsy call. That was like, are they actually gonna release this like this?
Cozy Snap:No, my guess is dude, on, in September of 2020, was it 3 or whatever, Loki, Mobius, Alioth, and Ravonna, I think everyone was hammered. I think, I think either that or it was like corporate retreat. They went to Bahamas and they're like, Oh God, balance. And then just, it all came, came in at once. Or the show was just banging. They wanted to promote it. I don't know. But anyway yeah, that's, that's I think they're OP.
Alexander Coccia:Yup, buddy. And listen, if you think that was OP, you got to hear the worst segue ever into the Snapchat mailbag.
Cozy Snap:You just came off an S tier transition and then you hit me with that.
Alexander Coccia:I'm sorry, dude. To be honest, that was part of the joke. I knew it was going to be bad, I was leaning into it, but you laughed too hard, you kind of ruined the moment, again. Before you ruined the good one, now you ruined the bad one. But you know what was ruined, Cozy? Is my understanding of the American vernacular. Because we had a plethora of comments last week about everything. We, buddy, we got comments, we gotta go to the well on next week, too, because there's so much. But this one here, there's, okay, this is a series of comments here. Cain Spaddy said, back blown out is a crazy statement. Followed up by Novaclay
Cozy Snap:who
Alexander Coccia:said, you watched me blow my back out is wild. Followed by Steve Russell Wells who said, hey guys, I'm a Marvel character designer on x men 97 who loves snap and the snapchat. As much as I want to comment something meaningful to the conversation, I just want to say that I've thrown out my back, putting on socks, almost 50 times
Cozy Snap:thrown out cozy. I think
Alexander Coccia:something was lost in translation last week.
Cozy Snap:You said it on Twitter too. And I was like, you know, guys, Alex doesn't even know what a chorizo is. So like to expect him to know, dude, when I read that one that said he watched me, you watched me blow my back out is wild.
Alexander Coccia:Just stop saying it? Okay, I'm gonna stop saying it.
Cozy Snap:It's like, oh, it's so funny. That was, that was peak. That was peak. Like, Alex is too pure for this world. It
Alexander Coccia:was great though. For what it's worth, man, I think that must be an American thing. If I said that, like, in class, I don't think anyone would even doubt No! No, don't don't test it. Don't Okay, I'm gonna take your advice on that one I'm not gonna test that and then Lou Tarot said the fact that cozy is terrified by Alex's water usage Shows that he's a true San Diegan
Cozy Snap:Yeah, but I got the case the get people thought we were high You weren't oh No, I'm saving that for the next You aren't? Yeah, wait, you're not filming Oldies High right now? Yes, I I don't even think that makes me a centurion. I think it just makes me a person, you know? I think anybody who takes 9 showers a day, 10 on a good day, you know, needs to be talked to a little bit. Do you blow your back out in the shower?
Alexander Coccia:How dare you, Cozy? You know I blow my back out four times in the shower every day. There goes the sponsorship. There goes, they're all gone, buddy. The sponsorship, the monetization, the viewership, it's all gone. It's all gone. Everything's gone. But okay, should we try to transition this into a real Marvel Snap question? Because, or else, you know, there's going to be someone in the comments that's going to complain that the Snapchat mailbag has nothing to do with Snap. Good, good, yes. Like the guy who always comments, Actuals podcast starts and always puts the timestamp because he hates all our intros. Oh, that's my
Cozy Snap:favorite guy. That's definitely the guy that's like It'll be 630 a. m. PST. No, 635. We're five minutes late. It's like where the hell is
Alexander Coccia:Yeah, and then comments about how he hates everything we talked about other than the star ratings
Cozy Snap:Well, all I know is we're gonna do a lot more off the beat topics after last week This week's like a short episode, but usually yes
Alexander Coccia:Yeah, okay, Kozy, I got one last one here.
Cozy Snap:Okay.
Alexander Coccia:This is a real Marvel Snap one for the people that are interested in Marvel Snap. JeroDube says I wanted to shout out Esme Cuckoo being such a cool card design from a lore perspective. She is biologically the daughter of White Queen, who is now a three costed four power card. And Ismay, which I probably said wrong again, also has a bunch of clone sisters, so her being a 3 4 making 3 4 copies is super cool and fitting. I just love when they do lower accurate cards. That is cool. That is cool.
Cozy Snap:I also, they name a better combination than us naming the same names wrong in these Marvel characters and getting just blamed in the comments for it. But yeah, that is cool, man. I always actually like to know, I just, it's not often I don't know Marvel characters, so, it's all cool to learn. I had just out of memory. I was on the cast for, for the rivals cast and guy goes, how, how, how good is your Marvel knowledge? And I was like, bro, like a, like a 10, like, what, like, what, what do you mean? He's like, he's like trying to hit me with a character. I don't know. And I was like, as my cuckoo, we're deep, we're deep in the Marvel snap. Well, Marvel, well, now these days.
Alexander Coccia:That's absolutely hilarious, dude. That's hilarious. And once again, I want to just reiterate how awesome you're doing on Marvel Rivals Pro Tour there. Like, it's incredible, and your knowledge of the game really stands out in your commentary, just like it did at Deadpool's Diner. When CozySnap and Alex Kocha took to the kitchen. Can you believe that we've only been on one cast together in Snap? No,
Cozy Snap:one cast together and it was a bot fest. That was all it was. And they were like, Thanks guys, have a good one. And we were like Oh, okay, is that, that was it. That was all, that was all they wrote. It actually makes me mad I was gonna just steam people up more about the Rivals thing. But it makes me mad how much Rivals has given into their competitive scene and just like, my god, could it be so si it's too late, it's gone, it's never gonna happen. But it like, at launch, if they would have just dipped into the competitive scene to Snap, cause like, god, it'd be so fun to cast at a high level. I think Snap is just so, and there's room in between plays to have a really intriguing, like, just fun conversation. And so, like, I wish they did. I do.
Alexander Coccia:Yeah, there's like no down time, and if they had done a competitive tournament, Kozy, I could have finished number one every single time, and you could have finished number one every other time, I guess. Kozy, we would have dominated the actual competitive scene. That's actually untrue. We would have just cast it, I'm sure. I probably would have gotten smoked. But it's okay. You know what? I know my role. I love it. Thank you guys so much for joining us on the Snapchat Podcast. We appreciate each and every one of you. And guess what? This next one's gonna come even quicker than last time, only a couple days away. And we'll see you on that next one.
Cozy Snap:Guys, that's going to be a shorter episode of the Snapchat this week. A little bit of first impressions on fire hair, a little bit on the OTA. And then of course, our, our, our, just our thoughts about the Snapchat and moving forward, not going anywhere. Snapchat's not going anywhere, guys. You get your, your your crazy questions and Mondays to rely on for the foreseeable future, my guys. So, anyway, guys, have a good one, have a great one. Until the next one, happy snapping.
