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?

Why does he try so hard to improve? What does it mean to "Overdo" something as opposed to "Doing it a lot" ? Have any questions?
Even though JD and Wassabi are basically each others therapists, there's a time and place for professionals. This episode features an amazing conversation that builds on Will's conversation with his therapist about, you guessed it, Super Smash Bros. Melee. Why does he play the game?

It's been two whole weeks since Will and JD talked on Mic. Two weeks! How insane!
A lot of topics are covered here, from catching up on the recent ADHD diagnoses, JD starting Uncle Punch, and Wassabi getting into the content creation grind. Good vibes all around, and the conversation flows like a mighty river.
...I need to start tracking our topics better.

From Melee to Slay the Spire, Tiramisu went from being one of New England's strongest players to trying to break the Watcher Win-Streaking World Record for consecutive A20 heart kills. While it will be a long journey to break the current record of 18, the lessons he learned from Melee will certainly help. Here are some of his highlights!

Chelly Toms is a talented and prominent SSBM commentator, player, and streamer. JD and Chelly go into depth on what makes good commentary, how to put yourself out there, and why it's better to chase a good time than good clout. A true Melee fan, that's what you get from Chelly Toms.

We talk a lot about mental health, but there's only so much that can be understood without a proper medical professional. Within the month both JD and Wassabi started treatment for their ADHD, and boy oh boy is it making an improvement.
What can we do now that editing isn't a massive wall? How are we going to take advantage of this new treatment? What new ideas are we excited about, now that we know they can be produced without issue? We might need to start a new season soon..
