The Last Rodeo feat. John Robinson

There's no better way to send off 100Talk than to be joined by the one and only John Robinson, President and COO of 100 Thieves. John joins Jordan and Cole for a look at some of the best moments of 100Talk and 100 Thieves, the evolving business strategy of the org, and most importantly - what the incredible 100Talk community has meant to the org and to the dads. Plus, John surprises with an insane gift opened live during the show. And if you're lucky, you may hear a couple of important and timely leaks... If you are an audio-only listener, let us take a moment to thank you for being with us. It's been an honor to host these conversations and try to give an honest and fun perspective of what it's like to be an esports fan during the craziest wave of the industry. While this is the final audio podcast for 100Talk, we'll let the show's episodes live on if you ever feel like revisiting. And we'll say for the final time - we love you, and we miss you already. Tak...

100T Finishes 2nd in Summer Split - 100 Thieves LCS Summer 2022 Week 8 Recap

A miraculous thing happened this weekend: 100 Thieves dropped a game to FlyQuest and for once nobody gave a sermon preaching about why this means the team is a fraud. That means Jordan and Cole have less work to do on this end of regular season edition of 100Talk. The dads follow the thread of what we learned through 100T’s super week games and how the Thieves have learned to have a plan after getting punched in the mouth. They talk draft diffing quality opponents and debate which of the Thieves get All-LCS nods. And in light of the recent white-hot success of the org’s esports, discuss the winning culture that has been built at the CashApp Compound. Don’t forget - the dads always have time for their children, so listener takes and questions abound. It’s a good time to be a 100T fan, and a good time to 100Talk. Listen here. TIMESTAMPS: 0:00:00 - Intro  0:06:11 - 100T vs FLY 0:17:53 - 100T vs CLG 0:30:02 - 100T vs TL Honda 0:50:48 - Who’s most winning team in LCS over last 3 splits?...
