I don't know or whatever. He said she ran into the woods. And I'm like, what if you told her? I'm going to give you $20 if you tell me everything. He's like, I'm not going to tell you anything, Marcus, but I know you miss Chicago. He's like, I'm like, oh, God. I'm really like, oh, my goodness. I don't even freaking the fuck out.

Welcome to episode number 24 of the Optic Podcast 24 weeks in a row. We've been snapping. That's it. 14 weeks. I mean, I don't know what the total amount is. Actually, 24 weeks is a lot. It's a lot. I'm on episode number 94, 93 or 94 of the eavesdrop podcast.

What's the 100 one going to be? I don't know. Got to be something big. I was thinking like having something like this, but all of 60-50. I don't know where we get the mic. Yeah. Like Nate Schatz, scump, me, Crimpsix, fucking. I think people want the dynasty.

Formal. They do. They're saying the dynasty. That would be crazy. You got to have to pull some. strings. No, I just have to make a phone call. Like, yo, let's just make this shit happen. So I think everybody is, it's like a mixture between two, right?

Like, I want to have like the dynasty, but, you know, like, Nate's had won a couple of those championships that was in that consecutive session of that. So he would have to be a part of it. For sure. Right. So I don't know. I don't know. But neither here nor there.

I haven't said that in a long time and I want to stop doing it. This episode is brought to you by credit karma. And we'll tell you a little bit more about that. Was that a. A tucy over here. You know what's crazy is that mine don't smell and yours are just like the complete opposite. Yours don't smell. No.

Like maybe once a week in the pencil on what I eat. But if it's like a normal thing that I have learned now that it's. Yeah, yeah. Mind it. I mean, I bet you that if you get up real close yet, but like, I'm feminine. If I gladly, you know, thank you. If I sit here and I let one lose, you won't smell it. It's crazy that.

See, I don't think that one's going to. smell though but like I can there's some parts you're like going to like that's going to be so bad yeah like you can just feel coming from your stomach yeah like getting sucked sucked down so this is the second time that we're shooting this podcast I got a little bit

too too heated on the first one and I didn't want to wait we didn't upload that one no wait which one the one where he was freaking out last time I wasn't I wasn't freaking out I wasn't freaking out a general there yeah what you think I should

It was a good one. It was good. No, it was. Just fucking edit some of it. No, no. I just, it was like too much truth was spilled on that regarding like a, you know, a big, a big piece. I hope they didn't get rid of it.

I want to watch it. No, we'll watch. I mean, I have it. We'll watch it. I'll release that, call it, uh, two years from now. You know, that one's going into the X files for sure. You know, like it's, it was just too much. I was talking about about the league.

His decision was it? Mine. I just, I just knew that I was going to get, look, I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm not alone in this thing. It's like me and 12 other people that are in a partnership with the league. So for me to speak the truth about some of those things, it's not only just going to impact me. It's going to impact the rest of the owners. And I don't, I didn't want it to get to that level.

I don't know what it has been like the past couple weeks. You've been letting people get to you. You know what's crazy? It is. You don't want to. You don't want to. You don't want to like further that. No, that too.

No, the thing with those is like, the thing with those and we're talking about on the podcast is like, how is it okay for people to talk shit? And then when you talk shit back, they're like, hey, you're fucking bullying me. Yeah. First of all, first of all, look. Now, I get it. I get it. First of all, I'm not getting heated again, right? It's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, first of all, look, I'm, I don't know if.

I just don't know where people think it's okay to talk shit and then not like maybe it's a, maybe it's because I grew up in a different time where internet didn't exist or maybe it's just a, a, of this day and age sort of thing where you did talk shit. You were dealt with. Yeah. Like, like, you know, like there was consequences. You talking shit had consequences. Yeah. And right now. There isn't any and there shouldn't be, right?

Violence is never the answer sometimes. And you just shouldn't, right? Violence could be the answer sometimes. Violence is definitely a reasonable answer at some point. Yeah. Defending, you know, somebody that needs to defending, whether male, female kids all the time. Do it.

I encourage it. Defending the week is always a duty that you should do. When I see the, when I saw that Asian Lady Beaked, down by that black dude like that I was thinking of a different one no well there's there's like the stop Asian hate like the yeah yeah because of fucking coronavirus like there I saw the one with the white dude that that too it doesn't fucking matter you don't do that to women you don't do that too small women big women old ladies no and the fuck the cowards that were sitting around fucking

recording fuck the cowards that didn't do shit the security guard that was inside and saw that and let it happen nah and that dude like like you're an African American male in a country that has treated, you know, your race very, very poorly. Yeah. And for you to do the same thing to another race, it's fucking, like, it, I just couldn't get to it. Cowardous. I can't get it.

I can't stand behind it. I'll never stand behind it. So that aside, I have been. That's neither here. No. No, that aside, I have been, I, I have been a little bit more, you know, jabby with, with, uh, some of the things that, that, that, it'll come back around. You'll be back to your. That just made me think of this story.

When I was just in L.A., I told Uber. So the Uber, yeah, let's go to the gas station real quick. You just love gas stations. So I went to the gas station where I'm walking. All right. This lady asked me for money. I'm like, well, I'm about to break the change anyway. So when I come out, I'm going to give it to her, you know.

Then there's a guy behind her. A dude on a bike just comes flying. Stops, right? I'm like, let me get in the door real quick. What's what's going to? He is like, what I tell you about talking to her? Smacks this shit out of him. I'm like, damn.

Oh, some dude? Yeah, he's like, what I tell you about talking to her? Smacks the shit out of him again. The guy, like, runs back. He's a he the dude that smacked him backs out a knife like a big ass fat ass knife He's like the dude comes around a corner with a stick. He's like fuck your stick. He's like fuck your knife Let's do it then. Let's do it. I'm like you both have all these stories Have you told the story of the lady that knew your name at the gas station?

Have you guys heard the story? I think I know I think I told it at the parking thing when we were outside of top Remember? No, we were in my garage I don't remember no, but you told formal I tell that so bro it is the wildest story like texted my mom I called her and shit immediately I was so scared I'm like wait what's going I'm not being watched tell it this happened in Dallas I like no fabrication 1,000% true true story again I pull up I'm getting gas right yeah I'm getting gas station I'm going in he really puts in like five five dollars just to get around so I I fucking so I'm I go in I go I go get the woods, right?

She's, like, tatted the fuck up. So I, like, glanced over. I'm like, the hell. I go in the gas station and get the woods, my drink.

I come out. I hear, I am about to sit in a car. Now, there's my car, a car here in this where they're sitting on the other side of the pump. The little black lady's getting in her car. I'm getting in mine. I hear someone say, Marcus. I'm like, what? Oh, you told me about this.

I'm like, what? I'm like, who the fuck is that? I think I'm thinking, in my mind, I'm thinking it's some girl or something I met out. So when I sat down for a second, I'll fix myself real quick. Marcus, Marcus, I'm like, what the fuck? I stand up. It's that lady over there. I'm like, bro, I've never met this fucking lady in my life ever.

Start the car, pull over there. I'm like, how do you know my name? So she looks kind of homeless? Yeah, she was home. I just want to set that. Yeah, yeah, with two other homeless dudes. Three. Three other.

He said she ran into the woods. And I'm like, what if you told her? I'm going to give you $20. So if you tell me everything. He's like, I'm not going to tell you anything, Marcus, but I know you miss Chicago. He's like, I'm like, oh, God. I'm really, oh, my goodness. I didn't even freaking the fuck out.

When he told me that I was fucking crying because I'm like, I'm picturing this whole scenario. And then I'm like, what if she said this? He would have been like, I would have like, I would have. My skin was just crawling the whole time. She was like a spider web tattoo on her. her neck it was just like weird like the whole situation was just weird as hell yeah the fact that she guessed my name and that's not like it can be like a fan or something that's like marcus

and then you're like no there's no way they would have yeah it was it was like both or embo's damn i didn't even think it had but yeah you're right like she was standing up though marcus she's standing up like she knows me though yeah i'm like and then you get over there and the energy just all changed no she like was just like trying to boss me around i guess like give me this shit yeah I don't got to tell you nothing damn I was gonna pay you just give me some pay you to explain how the fuck

oh no no you know what I said what I said was like what if she says I don't gonna tell you shit is like tell me one thing I'll give you $50 he's like all right cool he's a go he's like well I'm not gonna tell you anything but Patrick says hello Patrick is the the psychic that we brought

over to the house I don't remember yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah call will right now Cole Will I'm not gonna call we gotta have it we gotta do it on this

podcast, bro. So I, I, uh, should I call us? Hey Siri, FaceTime big timer. Tell, we're on the podcast.

No, one, two, three-fimber. Really? Yeah, I don't think I was a part of that. I wasn't. Big Willie.

Hey, Siri, call Big Willie Johnson FaceTime. God damn. What he told Will was crazy. He's, I want me just say it. Yeah, yeah, you could say.

Like, okay, Let me set the story. Okay. So there's this dude named Patrick who's a psychic. Right. Right. This dude.

Where the fuck were we? Downstairs? I don't know where he was. He was fucking in a dark room upstairs. Ding, dig. Not just. Building beds. All right.

So I'm going to set the story, right? So there's, you know, Judith, her sister, and this girl name, fuck, what's her name? Oh my God. Jen, Jet, Tropic Jen. Oh, that's what they used to call her. But anyway, they're friends. They went to a psychic. The psychic, like, fucking reads their, he's just sitting there.

It's like, what's your name? And he's just doing this, right? With a pen. Yeah, yeah. Looking at you, right? And you can tell you, bro, listen, you can tell it this. I hate this type of people. You can tell that there's something there.

right he's just like okay and then listen he's like uh i see a i see a man with it starts with the letter age drives a silver car he's like yeah like victor hector he's like yeah so jew's like yeah he's like he's your boyfriend yeah you love him yeah he loves you a lot yeah he's like is he in the trades and then he's like what is like is he in the trades like does he do trades like no i'm like okay well i see him building. I see him building houses and is he like what does you do anything with his hands? And Jordan's like, no, no, no. And at the time I was playing fucking Minecraft and all I did was work with my hands and fucking build houses. So maybe that's what went in there. Anyway, like a bunch of shit that he said. No, he said a bunch of shit that was fucking like legit. Yeah. But we get like a

year later on me, yo for a video, we should get a psychic to come out here and fucking read shit. And I'm like, all right, let's do it. So the dude ends up coming to the house. There's no cameras around. Right. I don't think you were there. I, you couldn't have. You couldn't been there because you would have recorded you couldn't have been there something you must have gone home or something yeah probably all right but anyway the dude comes to the house and it's this guy Big T

and Mike right yeah did he read Mike did he I know I don't I think it was just me you would will he didn't tell me shit though he's reading Mike he's just like I'm drawing a blank just one big he just stops drawing

What happened? All right. So what did he tell you? Do you remember? I can't even remember. So that's Patrick was a psychic. So that's why I told both. So I'm like, what if she said,

no, I'm not going to tell you shit, but Patrick says hello. That's what he's like, I want to do it. That's what he's like, I'm going to be like, ah. Which was the funniest thing. All right. Let's get the podcast. Or you just see beside her little homeless station

A sheet of paper with circles Yeah, no, like that Holy shit, bro. That's like, he had like, Patrick, if you're watching, this is an insult And I respect you and shit. But he's like, you know, he's got a little one looking this way.

And he's just like, and then he was like, he's like, your mom's Irma. And I'm like, yeah. And then he's like, uh, you, in high school there was a girl name, Lett, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's see, or something. And she's like, she passed away.

And I'm like, holy fuck. She, this is this one girl that we know. in high school that passed away. So he said shit to me. He said shit to me that didn't make sense. And there was no way for him to know. That, you know, none. There was like 15 years after, yeah, 15 years after high school.

No way that he could have known that. But some of the shit that he would say was fucking. Why don't we do something like that? Like bring a median or something like. Well, because we should do. We need to get. Do you know that lie detector guy that's all in everything, every YouTube? No.

He just does. He's like a lie detector expert. like hooks up rappers to machines that white guy. I think I saw Herb's shit. He did. He went on love with extreme. The ego's own everyone's.

Like if that would be great if we got him. All right. Or just any type of light of things on. David Blaine. Come and do tricks for us or shit. David Blaine. Yo, what are you using as a coaster? The holographic charizard.

Oh. Oh. Those aren't good. You can't sell this for anything? Okay. Well, Modern Warfare remastered multiplayer could be the only multiplayer in 2021. That means competitive Modern Warfare 2 remastered. How do you feel about that?

You're like King, Mono Warfare. I'm so sick. I'm so sick of getting my hopes up for it. Yeah, they have been saying that for a while. MonoWfer 2 remastered, the multiplayer, that's been a rumor for five years now. I've seen you tweet about that. Wait, what did you just tweet? You tweeted something along the lines of, uh,

yeah, so the biggest part of that, that. rumor is that for the first time ever Codd might be postponed this year. That's what some people are saying. Is the only reason they would bring out monorfer to multiplayer remastered is if the next call of duty is just not on

time. Which is the rumor. Where did you hear this? I haven't even heard of it. Well, it might not be true, but a leaker put it out and then Activision DMCA'd his Twitter account. Oh. So his Twitter account got banned. And he said that

Wait, he said that MonoWiff or two remastered was the, what was coming out. Do they have screenshots or he just said it? He, they like, I don't know. He had like a source or something. Okay, okay, okay. But no like proof, no like screenshots or anything. So if I say something wild and shit, like people can DMCA me with no, like nothing, like what happened to freedom of speech? Well, if it's real, that's why people are saying that I just wanted to, I just wanted to position it that way.

That's why people are saying it might be real. I support it. Damn. But the thing is, I don't know, I don't think the Modern Warfare two part of that was the real part. I think they DMCA them because the COD might not be on time. And people, they want people to know that. Well, so what I said is, is if this call of duty, for some reason, if this cod is not on time, are we going to play Cold War for another year?

Fuck that. Or are we, so that means, so that means we'd have to either play Modern Warfare or we'd have to go back to console and I think we should go back to I think we should go way back I think we should go to like black ops two imagine like it's just a random blackups two series like that show would be so dope like I don't understand why not yeah like why imagine that actually happened and like people were forced to like play the until the gunoo kai was ready like real tournaments and they only issue is the only issue why it would never happen is because they can't make any money off of blackups two so it wouldn't ever happen and even i mean they don't make any money off of used

ps3s because or the or ps two's right no ps3s they wouldn't make any money off of that so like but it's just crazy seeing what like the smash community is done they're playing a game that came out in 2001 halo was playing halo two and halo two remastered so it's like we never got to experience that and like the best competitive years that we've ever had were way back there and it would be cool to relive those again. So I was just kind of bullshit and just say we get to do that. But it's definitely going to be Cold War another year if that does happen. Because there's only two games.

I've been playing a Cold War a little bit. It's kind of fun. Have you? But I'm still in like the honeymoon phase, I think. Yeah, yeah. Like, because I never played it. And I've been playing the past. I don't think.

I don't think that we should play Cold War again. I don't know. Look, they, I don't know, haven't heard any of those rumors. And everything that I'm saying here has no basis for. what I'm about to say, this is not me speaking for the league and as an owner of the league or as a representative of the league. Okay. I just don't look, see what Overwatch has gone through, right? Like they postpone that game how fucking long the the amount of damage that it did to the actual brand because of the viewership or because of whatever. Like it's detrimental.

So if they have If they have something with call of duty I don't think it's true We would have heard about it already We would have already been had those been had Like you guys Yeah yeah I think I mean we would have gotten a warning at least

Yeah because I agree Well when I saw that I was like there's no way Like we weren't got wind of that Or I wouldn't have heard that from someone Or something like that But But the thing is we're in a brand new stage of call of duty which is cross-platform.

And there's only two CODs that have ever been cross-platform. So those are the only two we can play going forward, realistically. Because those are the only two that are still monetarily bringing stuff into Activision and only two that are still on PC. So you would think it would be Modern War or Black-O-W? Or Cold War, yeah. Cold War. Shit. Well.

Which it can't BMW. No. Because it was a 5-5 game at the time. And now we're playing 4V4. And 4B4-4. I think Gunrrrrruder would do good as a 4-B-4. Yeah, but in. respawn in respawn you could get away with not having dead silence with 5 v5s because you could

just four hit shit but with 4 v4 it would be so easy just to play like a rat and wait for people to run by you or wait to hear them you know what I mean in my opinion it's all over again for yeah right right but without dead silence damn well I hope that that's not the case I really truly hope because what so many questions I when I saw that tweet I was like what the fuck what are you talking about and I'm like I'm saying later today So I'll ask. I don't know. I'm down for modern warfare to remastered. I'm, I'm, I'm really amped about it if that's the case. And you know how I feel about it. Right. Like I, I, I mean, as much as I know, you love to joke about it. It would be a perfect old man of optic game. Yeah, I know. Like, wow, that would be so much fun. What are you like that? Yo, how many kills, the top, how many kills did you get in that tournament? Like total? Yeah. And the war zone turning? Yeah. What's the best game that you had? Well, it depends because our. best games as teams I didn't have many but there would be games where like I'd have six kills in the beginning and then they all die and then it's like okay I'll just go fucking end my life

kind of how we were yeah both of you it's unfair right like you you you don't really see what I was I was sitting there and I was like I was like you know we're probably gonna get rocks because none of us play then those two like dude they killed everyone probably you got to think karma hasn't played in either neither of them or Seth yeah you're right neither but at least Seth like plays call a duty like on a daily basis dude carma has been playing fucking rust and he was just shitting they were killing everyone they came across and i was sitting there like i was playing i i don't even know what you were on keyboard and a mouse yeah oh that's probably why you were you weren't getting that high kills i don't know how we really won we didn't have that grade

of games like we had one good one i had one good game our best i'm pretty sure we dropped 60 kills and i had zero yeah george sent me the screenshot is that look we're slaying out we're slaying out Bro, I couldn't believe it. I love, I love, love, love the new look of Warzone. Love that shit. Yeah, it's really good. It's so good. And what's crazy is that how fucked up is it that you go back in time to 1984 and I haven't changed, updated any of my system and I can stream without any lag?

Why is it that we go back to 1984? It's smoother. It looks better to me. And it also doesn't make my stream lag with any, like, flipping of dials. I haven't noticed. like the smoother smoothness of it but actually damon was saying that yeah he was saying it looks smoother yeah so i thought it was i thought it was such a great addition i like it i wish i could play every day i'm in such a blendie right now when it comes to war zone because a blendie

yeah it's like it's like in a blender like in the blender like in this world figured that's what you meant i just haven't heard that her blend i've never heard someone say blendy i what a squish i'm in a blendy i'm in a squishy he's squishy he's squishy is like a h1 z1 term where if you knock their arm armor off and you start getting real hit markers. Then he's like squishy. So, um, Blender. Yeah.

Blendy. Because I just didn't like Warzone for a really long time. I'm starting to like it again, but I'm liking it because I'm re-learning how to play it on keyboard and mouse and that's fun to me. But also, I'm just not going to do it. Are you making the transition to keyboard and mouse? For Warzone specifically. Why?

Just because it's more fun, in my opinion. It reminds me of H-1Z1. It reminds me of like playing, because I haven't played a keyboard and mouse game in so long. And I like keyboard and mouse. It took me a fucking entire week of playing like close to eight hours a day to get good at Battalion in 1944. Really? Well, maybe like four days. That game would have been so fun if it made it.

Get make, make that next season. Yeah. Make Battalion next season. Make Battalion 1984 next season. Such a fucking great game. No shitty angles. Like everything is well thought out. And it never got bought out by anybody, did it?

No, there's still the same. same people. I wish they would have sold. Same with Islands of Nine. There's so many games that have potential. I don't know about Islands and I play that shit for like one drop. And I was just like me. I mean,

it's the same, same idea. Those same gunplay. Those same developers, I'm trying to remember the name, but those same developers that did 1944 are coming out with Play ProMod, which is, yeah, which is like all of the same mechanics as Call 3 4 ProMod. It's going to be fucking legit.

I can't wait for that shit to come up. Oh, shit. like rearranged my set my setup to play that game damn that's gonna be fun it's gonna be fucking legit uh play pro mod what is that by by the bulkhead do you know what cod for promont is so call it b4 was like the first game that that they ported to pc where you could like customize shit so like they made they really put back the f ov and they changed the hit mark the hit registration and they uh they made it like all

a lot faster pace. So it's like, it's like a really fast version of counter strike. And like there's one sniper, two SMGs, two ARs. And there's like a little bit of an economy, but it does the math for you. So I mean, I guess it doesn't. It's so good.

But you didn't have played Battalion 244? Or what do you, oh, play Promont. Sorry, I got, I was looking for that you got, bro, you should,

no one plays it now, which is unfortunate because it was Italian. Battalion had a lot of, a lot of people playing it for like a week. Whenever Shroud was playing it. Yeah. I said that's one I think I saw it Yeah

It's like if Shroud or Doc play it Then a lot of people are on it Same with Island with I was saying with I was 9 Like Doc and Shroud would play it And then it was corny What is it called? You're like running around and then you like It starts blinking red

I forgot you got like find the person or something shit I forgot what game it's called Altered Beast? No it's like your little characters You got like run around people spot you and shit Like you're the attack I forgot what you're the You're the hunter?

Yeah, some shit. Yeah, it's like Jericho used to play the shit out of that. I don't know what you're talking about. What do you call it? Who has a funny-ass clip? The CSGO dude, I forgot his name, and Soldier Boy. They were like- Are you talking about Among Us? Yeah.

Oh, you're talking about Among Us. I was thinking of first-person shooter. Oh, Among Us with a little character? Yeah, I hate that game. You don't like it? Have you ever played it? Why do you hate it? It looks corny to me.

But it's not about the game. It's a lie game. It's a lie game. Why have it played Among us? Because it was fucking popping when we weren't doing anything. But now we're doing stuff. But I would do it. It would still do pretty well.

I mean, maybe. And it would be hilarious, I think. Play pro mod. I've never played. So play pro mod is the name of the new game. I'm going to send it to you so you can look at it. But it's like, it's legit. And it's got the practice runs that the way you do in CSGO where you're just like, you know,

doing the surfing stuff. Yeah. It's really, really good. A lot of people are like, well, a lot of old school called three pro mod guys are hyping it up. Whether that becomes a thing or not, like, I don't know,

but I can't wait to fucking play it just because it's, it's like right up my alley the way the Battalion in 1944 was. Battalion 944 was such a fucking good game. But just like, I don't even know how to, like,

like the ELO system. Like, why can't they, uh, why can't they have the same ELO system for, for, for, like,

our league play, right? Like, it was perfect, right? I had, this was my level and I always played against people my level. Oh,

and it was really competitive. skill-based matchmaking but it for this thing it was super super good um so uh happy about if if it's true about monor remaster are you gonna play you gonna play you're gonna play obviously i'm definitely gonna play it all right question from the comments section down below actually we're gonna take a quick little commercial break to say hello to our sponsor which is credit karma man it just does podcasts just don't get better than what you're currently watching too bad i have to interrupt you to talk about Damon Barlow.

balance and transfer limits apply back to the podcast that'll single-handedly bring s and d back for sure 100% the community stupid like where are you idiots going get so on clutch where are they so unclutch where are the s and the idiots

it's dead it's like completely it's all war zones bro eights are dead everything's dead eights are well I don't I don't I don't know what everything is it's a combination of are we going it's not yeah we're good yeah

we already did that I don't I don't think that Cod's dead but I don't think that it's in a good spot right now And what's funky about that is that it's in an excellent spot in Warzone, but it isn't in competitive Call of Duty. Which is not a bad problem to have. It's the best, is the biggest game in the world right now, Warzone is.

Yeah. But still, I don't know. Maybe not big. It's the biggest game on Twitch, we'll say. That's weird as big as, like, internet, I guess, tournaments are becoming. There's no, like, GB tournaments for, like, AMs to play for money or, like. It's because it's like a combination of a lot of things. It's like the multiplayer side of Cold War is like not doing well.

Like no content creators play it. And it's, you never see it on Instagram or, you know, like in Modern Warfare, you'd see shit on Instagram and like. Why do you think that is? Because of how intense skill-based matchmaking is and because, uh, or the, the, the search and destroyed. That's what usually what people play with was S&D. And S&D is just like not really that fun in this game.

I don't know what it is. I like S&D this game. But I'm playing against people my level. You know what I'm not playing? But even, but the GB, the reason the GB community died is because of the cross platform thing and because it's so easy to hack.

Yeah. So it's like, uh, yeah. So now it's just, it's like a combination of a lot of things. I think that might be a big reason. It is the,

is the reason. I forgot about. Yeah. Yeah. Like, if there's, people never know if, just to.

the worry is just annoying just the fact that it has in the back of your mind will kill the fun for you oh dude if you if you're on defense and you go b twice and they go a both those rounds you're already thinking yeah yeah they might they might have walls like they might know where i'm going and they automatically go that's just so annoying it is to get that shit oh dude it's probably like a google search away literally i'm assuming i don't know i'll never understand that i just i will i will never understand especially in this day and age this is what this is what i what i understand is like creators who have a good thing going for them like trying to cheat

yeah like I don't get that like fuck it man like they're there for you not for how good you're not you're never going to be pro player you're never going to be one of the top you know skilled war zone players like that just use your personality to do that the weirdest to me is psychotic like a different level of human is the people that stream themselves cheating and try to talk to convince their chat

that they're not cheating like you're psychotic like you guys just You guys are just jealous that I'm getting, you know, 500 viewers. And it's like, well, you're only getting 500 viewers because you're very blatantly cheating while streaming. And everyone thinks it's interesting. You're that much of a psycho. Yeah. You're doing this live. That should happen so often, too.

It's so weird. I don't even want to try to understand a person like that. All right. The question comes from a dude named Primal. If the CDL expansion happens next year at some point, will you buy another slot and bring back Huntsman brand? Hell yeah, two teams. Yeah, because it's allowed. And BTH.

Reason I ask is because Huntsman sounds sick, and the Huntsman logo was the most badass logo in Esports. I don't know if it was the most badass logo in Esports, but it was definitely like way the fuck up there. What was that? We got a secret handshake. This one? Yeah, it evolved.

What is it now? I don't know. The circumcision? Is that with the hedge? What's the question? Whether or not that, first of all, one, one team can only own one CDL spot. Secondly, we have Optic Chicago, so there's no need to bring back the Huntsman one. And thank you.

I appreciate. We also missed the Huntsman logo. The Homestman logo is then we're going to be taken down from here. Those hoodies were fire. Yeah. Oh, I thought you meant that spirited man hoodie. That I'm wearing again. Didn't I wear this on the other part?

I'm the one that guy caught. Yeah. So, so this guy was wearing a spirit man hoodie. For those of you who don't know, Spirited Man is Casey Nicestat's older brother, Van, who has a very, very similar approach to YouTube and storytelling. Well, Casey has a very similar YouTube approach and storytelling as his older brother. Yeah.

Casey just went public with it. Van actually has skill. No, well, time the fuck out. First of all, like, we got it to the same sort of. I did this on the last podcast, and I was like, I actually don't give a fuck about the spirited man. I just acted like I was on his side hating on Casey.

Yeah, but the spirit of man, like, and so if you guys haven't watched the show, you should watch is really good. I was telling Hitch that he could be the best YouTuber ever, but he's never going to be able to upload as much as Casey did in the way that Casey did and revolutionized the way that one fucking entire genre was done on that. So with that said,

Casey had you blogging like no permanent. Yeah, dude, the second I saw that, I'm like, everyone. Yeah, I'm going to vlog. Everyone got like a boosted board.

Yeah. Like Casey There's two right there There's two right there Better have had like Equity or something Dog A boost in boosts

He single handedly Just Oh hell yeah Shot that shit through the We were talking about How he owned New York for that Those three years

It wasn't Jay Z I said it wasn't Six-nine It wasn't Kanye It was fucking Well Kanye is from Chicago Yeah I know

But there's that But he didn't feature Yeah Yeah Anyway It wasn't Kendrick is what I was So if you guys

Have it You should watch it The storytelling It's just incredible The way that he films it is incredible. He's not using any, like, you know, new cameras. No A7S, no, no, it's just like some regular camera.

Everything is, like, grainy. It's fucking all about storytelling. And he does an excellent job. My favorite YouTuber right now is Mav. I still watch Mav. Dude, that does, like, hunting, camping in desert, camping in, like, mountains. Oh, I think I know you're talking about. I don't know if I've ever watched this stuff.

Do you watch anything weird, like at night on YouTube? Pimple popping. Okay. Pimple popping. decisions like people can in there I hate that shit I don't know like a growth cut open like shit like you watch that oh yeah

you're in there like no I'm like I just want to I just want to pop something like that just people getting cis taken out oh well listen into this

and grown toenail I hate that shit okay what do you what do you watch if you look at my YouTube it's all like workout stuff music oh sorry

And that's really about it. What about yours? Food. Actually, most of my YouTube is food. Oh, God. Like, watching, like, people eat a bunch of food, try different food challenges, make food. A lot of things.

That's why I like the Mavs shit, because, like, he'll literally, obviously people do this, but he'll catch it, like, season the fish. Oh, just cutting them off. It just looks like, catching cook. I should just look. You got to watch the Gugan Catch and Cucs.

Those are dope. You got to watch the Mavs. Mavs cool, too, but not googan cool. uh what do you watch uh serial killer documentaries okay i don't know which one's worse i'm watching one right now called the son of sam shit's crazy is that good is that the netflix yeah son of sam sons of sam sons of sam yeah i hate when i watch it like that and then it like kind of fucks me up for a few days really makes you want to do it see the thing is is when i watch when i watch like fiction shit that fucks me up but then when i watch regular documentaries about

shit that actually happened. But it's fiction real or not real? Fiction is not real. So when I watch like horror movies, then I'm like, every once in a while, I'm like, damn, I. So if it's not real, it doesn't fuck you up. If it's not real, it fucks me out.

Yes, I'm the same way. If it's real, I don't care. What? Isn't that the opposite of what it should? Yes. Yes. Because if it's not real, then it doesn't fuck me up. See, like, after finding out paranormal activity was not real.

like I was like oh what the fuck but at the time when I saw it I thought it was like real documentary footage and you thought yeah you were freaking that fucked me up yeah bro I saw this so if it's real it fucks me up one night I was scrolling through fake I'm never on Facebook I was scrolling through Facebook videos and this one thing where there's like those is like this black family somewhere and this little black kid was sitting in a chair and then all of a sudden he got in the camera's like pulling it and then he's like he's like they're trying to take this kid and like he they're just sitting there and also the chair fucking moves and they're like holding the kid and his kid the kid's legs are like

I'm getting chills. The kid's legs are in the fucking air like trying to get into the darkness. Do you see that? You don't know what I'm talking about? Yeah, yeah. Is that fake? Is that fake?

You tell me it's fake. Yeah, it's fake. Okay, thank God. Holy shit. Bro, but it fought me up. There's like the, what is the movie where they based it around those two like ghost hunters or like exorcist people?

I don't know. But it's like the, damn it, man. But apparently they, they're, is footage out there that is being like not not released to the public that does have chairs moving and like shit happening during an exorcism. I would never watch that. I actually just look that up on my YouTube Bucrepo that right now you see it.

Exorcism shit because I was watching the first time. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I was trying to see like every I'm sure there's some real shit out there, but it's hard to find like. Yo, you know, I want to see some real shit because in that movie motherfuckers are levitating. If I see someone levitating, I'm out of here. Yeah.

I used to think David Blaine was levitating. Have you ever seen? I did it to you in the elevator. You started laughing. I'm like, I'm not just. Yo, so for me, I watch this, T.A. outdoors. This dude made a cabin in the woods out of pallet wood.

And it was just like, there's no, it's like, it's like ASMR, but all you hear is like hammer. Wait. Is it like, I think I know what you're talking about. Does he like barefoot and shit? Yeah, so. Yeah. Well, no,

that's the other guy. And like, don't make a, a clay mansion where it's like, it's just rock dirt water. Oh, no.

You're talking about the little Indian kids and shit. Yeah. And they're just in, they're just barefoot, fucking making pools. That's like everybody's recommended. It's like 20 million views. It's like,

what they do is they start digging into a big ass square into the ground and then it's like, they bring clay, they bring water and they start like, bro, it's insane. Like,

they fucking. hook it up. It is like ASMR like you just hear yeah, yeah, yeah. And if the camera's going fast, like, you can hear the water, it sounds so like, so relaxing your shit. You're going to be in their backstroke.

Oh, God. Anyway, yeah, that's what I watch. I watch people building shit. That's my thing. That's why I think I like the spirit of man so much because I myself. I do watch you like that. I can't build shit.

I watch, I'm not going to lie. I went on like a little spree for like a week where I was watching people build pool decks. It was the strangest thing. No, it's not strange. It looks cool. I don't know why. That's why, like, I like YouTube.

You can literally find anybody doing fucking anything. Like, the amount of graffiti videos that I watched, like, good or bad, like, it didn't matter to me. I just watch, like, people's process. And I'm like, you know, like, every once in a while, I'll just watch, like, baseball highlights. And I haven't watched a baseball game in 15, 20 years. Really? Yeah. Yeah.

Every once in a while, I'm just, like, it just pops up and I'll click on it. And I'm like, this is pretty interesting. Yeah, I watch the Barry, a random Barry Bond. video of just like them breaking down oh it was like Barry Bonds where would Barry Bond's rank if he didn't even ever take a swing because of like how many times people walked in and like shit like that but just them comparing him to just everyone in MLB history and how much fucking better he was dude it's crazy they used to walk him with bases loaded I forgot what that's fucking crazy home run I want to say it was like 749 or

763 one of those two dude that shit was the most insane moment ever like everyone just knows he's gonna hit a like he's gonna break it just the way it happened dude they stopped the whole game as soon as he hit that as soon as he hit that home run they stopped the whole game

they played like a hate for that ball that shit goes in the water diving off kind of into the water they interviewed the dude that caught it and it's like already has the most famous like one of the most popular like I'm not gonna I don't know your scum if you don't give it to them

You're scum, if you give it back to Barry? Hell yeah. Yeah, if Barry wants it, you got to give it. If he wants it, you got to give it back to Barry. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was just, I was clearing up what you were saying. But is Barry scum for wanting it? No.

I mean, that dude caught a ball that is worth, like, 500K. Fuck. Maybe more than that. Yeah, it's got to be more. Especially this eight. I mean, now. Yeah, especially right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

All right, speaking of sports, Brett Nicol has a question for the podcast. You guys play sports growing up. Was there? any memory or any moment from that time that stood out to you as funny or exciting that you'd be willing to share. You said when you were airballed. What do you say? Whenever I airballed the free girl in high school.

All right. So in 10th grade, I moved schools. And I make the basketball team at my new school. And then eventually in the basketball season, we played my old high school. So I had been going to school with everyone there for quite some time. Everyone knew me. So we go to, this is an away game, so we go to my old high school, and I eventually get in, you know, off the bench, not warmed up at all. And then I get fouled on a shot, and then my first free throw, I airball it, and everyone just starts laughing in the gym.

That's my best sports moment. Wait, what did you, did you say anything to the crowd? I forgot. No. You didn't even look at them? I mean, I looked and just. You're going to get that. People in the crowd like this and then someone just sacking like the ball missed it.

I'm going to change mine from last time. Mine's not about like playing sports, but I used to go to, I had season tickets every year to ECU football games and we were really bad. Like I went, I had season tickets for two years and during those two years we won three games. Like that's how bad we were. Then we got this dude, his name's Chris Johnson. and I watched him for four years. I remember the first time they handed the ball off to him

and he took it for a touchdown. Everyone in the stadium was just like, what the fuck? Because it was like the fastest dude we'd ever seen. And then so he played all four years. And I'll never forget the first time he took it. He ran a touchdown because I'd never seen anybody that fast before. And then he played all four years.

And then he went to the Tennessee Titans and won't. Oh, Chris Johnson? Yeah, and broke the fucking. He said like it's a random No, it's about Chris Johnson. Man, that's a really good one. Yeah, yeah. So I watched him for four years.

He's one of the fast people I've ever watched. I can tell you one thing. Scum can definitely tackle him in open field. Wait, no. Who does Seth say he did tackle? Adrian Peterson. Yes, right. What?

He would sever his spine. He would hit him and his head would be. What do you think if there was like four of us? like me you us for it I'm gonna tell you why we couldn't take him down because there's gonna be

at least two people in our group that are scared I might be I'm not getting hit by Adrian Peterson hell I know I'm not gonna take him

like head on but like I'll figure out the angle I'm down for the angle just hold on let him go by a little bit and then just try to grab the ankle even if he was coming

and we all lined up and like it's zigzag to try to hit him from the side if he walked in in street clothes right now we'd be like, nah. Yeah, if we saw him in person and then saw him like running. Yeah, and then you add the pads and the, the heart stuff.

Yeah. Like, fuck all that. Matter of fact, we probably don't, I don't know if we got much time on, but did you see the, I don't know if anyone talked about the Floyd Jake brawl, ball brawl shit? Dug, I got your hat. Got your hat. He got a tattoo and shit.

That was so smart. It was. Like, got your hat. And he did it in like a playful way to where it can't really escalate too much. But he's still got his ass beat. They're like, Jesus. I just don't know.

Why? What's up with Floyd? I thought he cared about his appearance. Why is this shit like all? No, he got the laser surgery and shit. Well, he's like the beard hair and shit so he can come and get his hair back.

I don't know that. Oh, what happened? Like, you know, he got like laser whatever. Yeah,

so he could like grow his shit back. I mean, I've never heard of that. Like, I don't know. I'm so fucking lost. I didn't know he did that. My story was,

and I'll say really quickly. Floyd is bald. Yeah. Forever. Yeah, but that's like he He never really had facial hair, didn't he? No, no, he's always like a fucking clean looking dude. He got his zap.

I feel like he looks pretty good with a beard. He's going to get a shaped up, cut up. Well, once he gets the day, he's starting to look like Adrian Broner. This is his favorite. My sports story was like one of my dudes close friends, his name is Carlos Delphine. He used to take a fart on one side of the court. So he'll fart like on offense. Like he'll go off or later.

up fart and then everybody will run back to the other side of the court and on the way back everybody will get hit by a wall of just like stinky smelly fart and nobody will go past that shit and he'd be like this is a strategic fart yeah it's a strategic fart bro it's bad anyway what's yours do you have any um what you threw that yogurt at that girl what was it huh didn't you throw some yogurt at some some girl or something that you grabbed for yogurt and threw it what yogurt yeah you told that story in one of the one of the original optic podcast maybe I I was to actually think about a story the other day where I threw hand sanitizer. Oh, go on.

Well, that's not a sport story. That's not a sport story. Yeah, throwing us to sport. Go ahead. I don't know. I think I was in school and I just put on hand sanitizer. This girl, I doubt she's watching. I'm with Dominique.

She's a Filipino girl. I doubt she's watching. She's just, like, I guess she was, like, talking or some shit. And I just went like this with the hand sanitizer. And it flew, I guess it got in her eyes. She was like, Oh, wow. Like, let me guess.

I got to go to fucking. Yeah. Let me guess is my, is the favorite. Let me guess. Let me guess is one of the favorite, like, phrases that Optic has ever had in the fucking history. You can start and start with let me guess. Dude, the, the goalie on my club soccer team got expelled from school because he put

hand sanitizer and the teacher's coffee. We were juniors in high school. Yeah, that's fucked up. Yeah. So that's like, that really fucked up. He's got to do junior year over. Damn. What's fucked up about that?

He could have just used like vizine and giving her diarrhea. That's what I'm saying. Thank you. I don't even bring that up. What? People don't know about that. About what? They've never seen wedding crashes?

Yeah, I mean, but there's about 50 people who are going to try it. No, guys, for the record. And then they're going to tell their parents. For the record is it's very, very, very bad, right? If you're going to do it, just do like one drop. like tainting with people's food. Oh, yeah, I never do that. But you know,

Vizene is so bad that if I use it, I'll get it in here. And then if I feel it drip into the back of my thing, I know I'm going to be in the toilet. I know I'm going to have diarrhea. Wait, what? Yeah, so you don't taste it when you put it in your eye, like it goes into your thing

and it goes to the back of your nose and then... I'm not a Vizene guys. I don't know. Yeah, me either. Me either. But when I never experienced it. Like it was. Man, these guys are guys.

Guys, the basketball game's about to begin here at the Hacks Quartz. We're going to end this episode right here. I guess the last one is for Mushu. How do you deal with burnout really quickly? Yeah, burnout. Not burner. Burnout. Shout out burner.

Yeah, shout up burner. Yeah, shout out burner. Burner. Would anyone else like to start? Yeah, I talked about it yesterday and I said that I don't have the choice of burning. out the same way that a construction worker an electrician or a cable guy can't say oh I hate my job I'm burnt out and then

I'm not going to do it anymore and then there's no food in the fucking table. Yeah there's a big difference between burning out and being lazy or not feeling like it. And I said this last time I said what was it don't don't rely on motivation. Yeah. Do

because it needs to be done basically. Facts. Yeah I just look I get it right like mental health that's important. Everybody should take care of their mental, but the whole, I don't, I don't, I don't think in my life I've ever heard somebody say, like, I'm burnt out of like work and shit. Like I've, you know what I mean? I think burnout burnout. Burnout's like, burnt out is like the mentally, like the kids that talk about mental health and they're, but low key, like we're lazy. Like, I'm in that same boat. There's like, we use, we like to use that word burnout because it seems, it seems like it sounds like a valid excuse. Yeah, it does. But I think, I think, burnout is real. Yes. I think a very high majority of the time burnout is a lack of time management more than anything because when I was when I got burnout, which I did get burned out when I was vlogging every day. I mean I would vlog every day and I would, uh, you know, still do optic content and vision and stuff like that. But at the same time, I would, you know, do other stuff as well.

like like you know watch like stream in my own time or watch tv or do things like that and like that would ultimately get in the way and then I wouldn't get good sleep and then I all of a sudden was burnout because I was working too hard which I was working hard but also I wasn't I didn't have good time management so it's like if you can watch Kevin Hart never burn out no one has an excuse yeah yeah amen well the thing the thing is I do feel like some people though because people are going to hear that and they're going to say people are genetically built different yeah Like, I think Hax is an example of someone who wakes up and they just got to get the fuck up and do something. Yeah.

But I feel like there's a lot of people that, and I'm one of them to where when I wake up, I mean, it's a little different nowadays in these past like few months. But I'm definitely someone who wakes up and I don't necessarily feel like, I don't feel motivated. And so what stuck with me this year is like reminding myself, like don't rely on motivation. I don't see. See, I don't feel like, I'm in the middle. When I get up in the morning and shit, I'm in the middle. Like, I'm, like, dead in the middle. If something bad happens, it's probably going to fuck up my whole day.

If something good happens, it'll outweigh everything. You know what I'm saying? Like, I'm literally right in the, like, the small shit could throw my... Bro, like, the smallest thing could... Like, this morning, it was... I've nothing went wrong, whatever. I took shower, it was ready. But it's let something go wrong.

I'd have been like, I don't even want to go to content. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? You do let's stuff like that. But, I don't know. that's i mean that's a blessing and a curse because if something good happens and you yeah and i'm like yeah exactly yeah exactly there you go there you go yeah so look if you if you're more educated on the subject then you want to leave some comments and educate us we we appreciate it

obviously we we are open to to other people's opinions we're not saying that our ours is the end goal i just don't think that i have that option personally so it's never an option to to go down that route for me right like it's not a quitting it's not an option burning out it's not an option therefore it isn't reality to me and I'll just continue to actually this is really random I just want to say it's really quick and it actually made my day it was weird as hell it's it never happens but I was at the uh jw maryat live yeah and I'm in the restaurant eating and shit and the late there's like an older lady there she's like serving me I'm like how you doing yeah thank you and then at the end I'm like it was probably like 45 bucks she just comes up to me

she's like um yeah I just want let you know I had a really bad day I thought she was about to tell me something I did wrong she's like I just want you know I had a really bad day but you were really nice and I covered your meal. I'm like, damn. She wouldn't let me. I'm like, well, that's what I was trying to? I didn't have cash. I'm like, can I have like have the receipt?

She's like, no, I got it. Don't worry about it. Damn, that's so dope. I'm like a row this shit up. I'm feeling good at that. All right. And with that thought, we're going to end it right here. Episode number 24 has come to an end.

Huge shout out to credit karma. The boys right here for stepping up. And we'll see you guys next time. Goodbye.
