On today's episode of the podcast Im chatting with a professional gamer Mongraal. Mongraal, whose real name is Kyle Jackson, is a professional Fortnite player and content creator known for his exceptional mechanical skills and lightning-fast gameplay. Hailing from the United Kingdom, he gained fame as one of the youngest players to enter the competitive Fortnite scene, quickly earning a reputation as a top-tier competitor and streamer. With numerous tournament wins and a massive following on Twitch and YouTube, Mongraal has become a key figure in the esports and gaming community. We discuss his journey from getting signed at the age of 13 to competing in the Fortnite World Cup just months later. This is an incredible episode for anyone into gaming! Enjoy!
Kyle, also known by his gamer tag Bugha, started playing Fortnite as a young teen. He soon realized that he possessed exceptional skills and began competing. In 2019, at the age of 16, he entered the Fortnite World Cup and defeated 99 other players. However, the pure joy of that fame was short-lived when trolls hacked his phone, and Bugha had to learn to deal with online hate. He was also a victim of "swatting," a dangerous prank where someone falsely reports a serious crime to emergency services, causing a SWAT team to be dispatched to the victim's location. Kyle and his father, Glenn, joined host Jay Ruderman to talk about the challenges and triumphs of being a young professional gamer. Kyle opens up about the pressure of online harassment, as well as the importance of managing his mental health in the face of trolls. Glenn shares how his and his family's unwavering support and guidance have been integral to Kyle's journey. Jay, Bugha, and Glenn also get into how they navigate the complexities of fame, as well as Kyle's philanthropic efforts to help lower the barrier for entry to video gaming.

With certain countries trying to ban or limit playing time for kids on digital games, we asked our fellow 4th grade Merlins (Michaela C, Kye M, Aiden L) about their thoughts, and the reasons for why we should play video games or not. The intro for this episode is presented by the NBC's "TODAY" show, and their interview of Fortnite World Cup winner, Kyle 'Bugha' Giersdorf and his parents.

Competitive Esports tournaments for baseball, hockey, basketball and football have been rising in popularity but golf has yet to join the party. Until now. Charlie Watson, CEO of Tiidal Gaming and Lazarus Esports join us to discuss The #VIRLShowdown, which is North America's first competitive Esports Golf Event. https://files.fireside.fm/file/fireside-uploads/images/1/1ea879c1-a4a2-4e10-bea4-e5d8368a3c7a/eyYTaK9K.png (https://virl.bc.ca/esportsshowdown/) Want to enter but don't live on Vancouver Island?

That is what this event and eSports is all about. There are no limits, there is no bounds. I can play with someone in Asia, Africa, South America or someone that is just down the road from me and that's the power of gaming and eSports.' "You see livestreams that have 700,000 viewers just for their three hour broadcasts, so it's just phenomenal to see what's happening in our industry. I've been in this industry for twelve years now and in many ways I feel like I'm late to it, but the great thing is there's so much creation and innovation happening so you're absolutely not late joining the party. We have a lot of room in the sandbox for people to come in and play." "Adopting the creative play and the freedom of expression of eSports will take an older demographic game like golf and bring it towards a younger audience. That will increase the user base, viewership, content creation, social marketing, the word of mouth and really start to get kids excited about golf again." About Lazarus Lazarus Esports “LZR” is Canada’s first established esports team in 2010. They are a professional esports and entertainment organization dedicated to industry growth, developing the Canadian market, fostering amateurs to compete at the highest level & supporting professional gamers and content creators at the highest level for greater success.

Doug Ducey says he is extending his stay-at-home order through May 15, but restaurants could reopen by May 12. Ducey also announced that there will be a partial reopening to retail starting May 4. It is a voluntary process, and will resume with physical distancing for staffers. “At this point in time, bars are not under consideration.” Ducey also stated that Arizona DOES have enough hospital beds, ICU beds and ventilators. White People on Facebook are Furious How Much Longer Can the Lockdown Last Before You Go Nuts? The average American thinks they could go a MAXIMUM of one more month before hitting their "breaking point," according to a survey. 72% said they would completely lose their mind sometime between now and early June. And pretty much everyone agrees six months would be more than they could handle. One in four people have already hit their breaking point. Including 20% of men and 29% of women. And young people are having an even tougher time with it. 35% of Americans aged 18 to 25 have hit their breaking point already. Another new survey over the weekend asked people what they'll do if a serious lockdown continues and they don't agree with it. Close to 20% said they'll probably do their own thing, and WON'T follow the guidelines.

The film features previously unseen home movies, photographs, diaries, letters and artifacts, as well as intimate interviews with her friends, family, co-stars and colleagues; re-examining her personal and professional triumphs and challenges, which have often been overshadowed by her tragic death at age 43. From Amblin Television, the documentary is produced by Gregson Wagner and Manoah Bowman (author of Natalie Wood: Reflections on a Legendary Life), with Laurent Bouzereau (Five Came Back, Don't Say No Until I Finish Talking) directing and producing. Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey are executive producing for Amblin Television. Natasha bio: She was surrounded by Hollywood glamor from the onset as the daughter of film star Natalie Wood and British producer/writer/agent Richard Gregson, who was married to Wood from 1969-1972. Natasha Gregson was born on September 29, 1970, in Los Angeles. Her mother was of Ukrainian and Russian heritage, and christened her Natalia but affectionately nicknamed her Natasha during her childhood -- hence, the name. Her parents separated before she was even a year old, and Natalie married Robert Wagnerwhen Natasha was 22 months. It's hardly surprising, therefore, that the young girl expressed an early interest in acting. The tragic Catalina Island drowning of her mother on November 29, 1981, when Natasha was only 11, left deep emotional scars that would ultimately carry into the dark-edged roles she would play in Hollywood.
