No single moment where you pull on the sheet and then it just falls apart. It's incremental. The small signs you ignore until it's too late. The corners slip off. The fabric gets thinner and rougher. Suddenly, you find yourself sweating through the night and wondering why you can't stay comfortable. Here's the bottom line.
You don't realize how bad your sheets have gotten until you replace them with something good. That's why it is time to upgrade to our sponsor, Bull & Branch.

Footsteps on your screen. Oh, oh, someone right in front of you. Aim downwards, aim downwards.
Oh, there's a guy.
Oh, someone else killed him. Oh, he got ran over by a car. Wow.
So you have to explain to me what this game is, why it exists, and everything. I know nothing about this other than I've seen a bunch of dumb children doing a dance that they call the Fortnite dance.
We like Fortnite. We like Fortnite. We like Fortnite. We like Fortnite. We like Fortnite. We like Fortnite. We like Fortnite.
Other than that, I don't know anything about it.
So Fortnite is a genre of video game called Battle Royale, where a bunch of players drop out of the sky, land on an island, and you pick up weapons and you fight each other until there's only one person standing. Fortnite is one of the most popular games to ever come out.

I'm a big Star Wars guy.
Yeah, no, me too. So that's good. I'm very tempted to use Palpatine. Should I do it? Do it. But instead I'll go with young Harrison Ford probably.
Wow.
Wow. So let's push X. Okay. Choose him. Now push circle. Perfect, now we'll push this button here two times. Yep, one, two.

Chapter 6: How does Ben react to the competitive nature of Fortnite?
All righty, so I'm gonna jump over that wall using X, good. I try to look in front of you. All right, so if you look to your right, there are some bullets on the ground right there that you could pick up.
Interesting.
You push, there you go. Oh, there's your first gun right there, that green thing. So you're gonna wanna go next to it and push square. You have to move around a little bit. There you go. Now push the R1, the top right bumper. Now you have a gun in your hand.
Oh, okay. And how do I shoot this gun?
You push the bumper under that one, R2. And then you aim with L2. L2 is... Oh, you're getting shot at. You better run. What? Someone right in front of you. Aim downwards, aim downwards. Oh, guy right in front of you. I'm dying. Help me. Shoot, shoot, shoot. Oh, someone else killed him. Oh, you got run over by a car. Wow.
In a little bit, I'm going to try to get into teaching you how to build in this game, but first let's learn how to aim and shoot and that stuff. All right, so it looks like there's some guns on the roof of that building if you want to land on that roof.
There's beer as well.

Chapter 7: What strategies does Ben employ to reach the top five in Fortnite?
What? Those are bandages. Stay thirsty, my friends. Can I pick it up or no?
Yeah, you gotta walk until, there you go, now you can push square. Okay. Now the gun I think is to your right, so let's look to your right. There you go, it's a pistol.
Wow. This is going so poorly.
You gotta check your surroundings.
Every game you're gonna get a little bit better until you finally successfully shoot somebody.
Anything's better than that, though.
That was truly quite terrible. That is true. What do you get if you win?
You get to pat yourself on the back, I guess?
Yeah, it's a video game. I forgot. See, I was not much of a video gamer when I was young. Basically, my video game experiences ended with Quake.

That's really great that they... Thank you, David. ...are 12 years old. That's outrageous. Let's see where you can land.
Where is away from people?
