Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How Tong made Tampa Never Sleeps into a global brand | Trash talk
Q: How did online infrastructure and COVID influence your growth?
The team built Parsec-based online brackets with AWS-hosted servers, gradually improving latency and reliability, which allowed Marvel 3 to thrive online long after its prime and helped establish the company as a premier online-to-offline TO and production media brand.
How Tong made Tampa Never Sleeps into a global brand | Trash talk
Q: What is Tampa Never Sleeps and how did it evolve into a brand?
Tampa Never Sleeps started as a late-night tournament at a game store, grew through community effort and hospitality, expanded online with daily online tournaments, and evolved into a production-focused organization that runs events for multiple games and partners, supported by staff, sponsorships, and a growing YouTube presence.

Q: How do you feel about the longevity and adaptability across all these different eras of the games you competed in?

Street Fighter 6 explodes in Japan, and the 2XKO vs. Marvel Tokon showdown | Extra Trashy
Q: Did you have any initial reactions, Ida, when you saw that?
