Ladies and gentlemen, welcome, welcome, welcome to episode. Episode 178 of the Optic Podcast brought to you by Shopify Factor and Fandul. Welcome. Thank you. I got an email and I'm like, oh. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome. We're back. We just got back from the founding father's land.

Somebody here in our office. Bring up our YouTube. I have a bone to pick with whoever picked those thumbnails. Ooh. You know what I'm saying? We are the champions. We are the champions. You're welcome.

Yeah. We are your champs. We're going to push pause right here just so that I can. Videos founding fathers. Where's Hector there? All those kids right there, all three of those kids are not founding fathers, okay? I am papa. Yeah, why'd they put me in that shit?

No, you should definitely. Finally, I'm getting the respect. Why'd they put you in that shit? Finally. You get putting videos you're not in. Hold on the thumb. You're out of in the video. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

What? I see, I see you can put in thumbs in. Oh, wait, that's the podcast? That's not even, is that the podcast? No, it's the highlight. There's a highlight. No, I was going to say if that was the podcast. Listen, you should totally, you should definitely be in there.

But the fact that they took Popeye is like they're trying to rewrite history, unfortunately for them. Finally. All right. All right, five, four, three, two. So we just got back from it. We are the champion, Seth. Thank you for your performance out there.

You did your thing. money biscuit. You drop fucking one kill, yo. I could have got one kill. This guy didn't want me to play either. Hell no. Thank God. There was an issue with your controller.

Thank God. I was watching you get for, you know, a freebie. They wanted him. You went to shoot swag. You just knife the air. What are you doing? Dude, they wanted him to play against Faze.

And Faze was far and away the harder matchup. We would have lost. Yeah. Dude, he got one kill. You wouldn't have lost shit. I'm good for one kill. You would have been playing for Shotsie. Oh, yeah.

He got time. So if you were to play for. him we would have I don't know I mean with the controller issue you got to you got to really take everything into a house no excuse and that's your game too that was a controller I actually saw it he has he has he has an actual excuse my the reason that I stepped off the stage was because when I jumped my guy went like so he instead of jumping he went like this he like glided forward there was no elevation change of elevation it was literally just me gliding forward yeah forward the forward moonwalk I clutched up for this org I mean we couldn't lose to adapt and

swag. I had to drop the ace round 11. He had to do it. If we would have lost to adapt and swag, it's all due respect, of course, adapt was actually frying because he was sniping and I was terrified. You know what's crazy? It's like, as much as I go back to play those snipe that, I cannot snipe in those games at all. It's no aim assist too. So it's like, it's actually impressive to be hitting snipes because you don't have that. No, no. Sniping was way easier than using a ring. Never mind, my apologies. Because I used the sniper the next game that we played against thieves. And dude, it was, it was so much use. I didn't use it. I didn't use it. I didn't assume that with no amissness is tough.

Yeah. It was not hard. Because the sense is so slow. It's like, oh, dude, it just feels foreign. I mean, Nate shot loses to Banks. I played Banks before they played, and I knew Matt was fucked. Where'd you play him at? Did you play him at the event or at home?

I can't believe you were practicing Banks for Nate. I thought I was going to shit on Banks for Nate is what I taught. I mean, I didn't think I was going to lose to the guy. I was like, okay, I'm about to fucking slam this guy. He has no idea who he's talking to. I'm a professional. He beat me 20 to one. And that's what I knew Matt.

I really had zero chance. Bet the house on it. I tried betting on it and it was gone because I was putting 5K on Ricky. Like no question on my grandfather's grave. I was putting 5K on Ricky if it was available. I was surprised. Don't be honest. When I started hearing that he beat you and that he beat Zuma and that he beat Seth,

like I was like. He wouldn't beat me. He would have beat me. He would have beat me, but he didn't beat me. Don't do put that on me. I'm kidding. You need at least an hour like of warm up actually to like feel somewhat normal on that. Because it just feels so foreign.

You go from 240 to, like, what, 30? It's not great. The FPS and the, what you can call it? The FOV, it's like a completely different game. I mean, dude, every time we have those throwback lands and we play on the 360, it's like, dude, the first, like, hour to two hours, everyone is just getting shit on. Yeah, yeah.

And then, like, because they're usually two days long, usually like the second day, everyone's shooting again. Like everyone has fully adjusted. Not this time, huh? There's something happens to your brain when you go to sleep and you wake up and that's the game that you last played, where you get back in there and your muscle memory is just like in tune with your character. But it was a dope-ass event.

I wish we would have brought more people from Optic. I think we got outnumbered. We were outnumbered heavily. But to be fair, they all live in L.A. So it's like... Yeah, yeah. And also like, obviously it's so much easier. But I think Faye's outnumbered even 100 thieves.

I don't think 100 thieves brought a lot of their, like, creators. Thieves didn't bring anybody. Nobody, right? Thieves didn't bring anybody. It's like where was, this is the thing, though. You know where we fucked up also is that we, and maybe this is on me and Nade, but we should have hit up Fizz to come up and cast with, with Jack. You know, that, I think that, and Zoom, of course, I think that that would have been like

something that we should, like, we fucking snooced on that. And I asked Jack and me, yo. this is to me this is this is what website is this my just remind me it's a good website now because it's the zin they're loving me now I don't know what happens is in renaissance well so

ever since zuma brought in kaysan they're on him and not me it's fucking great he's a good he's a good friend he can't take the hat off take that hat off take that hat off kishon but reddit's been better trust no it's a renaissance I wouldn't know I gave up Reddit when I gave up chick filet I haven't been on reddit

it in a very long time. Like three years? No, closer than that. Because, like, as a player, you're always going to, like, if you fry, you're going to Reddit. It was, it was too, it was. You don't fry, you're not going to Reddit. I'm not guessing.

I'm never gas-in, so I'll fuck what I go. When you fry, you're doing, you're searching your name on Twitter in the search bar methods. Wait, I've, that's why you do that too? You do that? Search your name on Twitter? I did it after the Founding Fathersland. Did you? Yeah.

You got to give a fuck? No, I did it. No, I actually. Nothing against the cool people on Reddit. But the ones that haven't done shit and have a lot to say about shit. Go fuck yourselves. Oh. Yeah, dude, I mean, look at this, man.

Like the amount of history that's there, yes, definitely some fucking new faces. But as soon as Rod got there, he's like, yo, can we please remake that picture that me, you, Tommy and Natcha took in, I think we're in Santa Monica. And I was like, yeah, we forgot to take that fucking picture. And it would have been a fucking golden one. The crazy picture, though. Yeah. Hell yeah. All the tall fucks in the back.

I'm tired of it. My dog. Oh, you, you're tired of it? What are you, Nick, Maniac Kirshner? What are you saying? I mean, look at me up there. What? Just below everybody.

What do you mean? Shotsie's like shorter than you a little bit. Yeah. But I'd rather be like short, like Shotsky and have his game style than be, Go ahead. Me. Oh, okay. Be this tall.

I thought you were gonna come at me right there. No, I would never, no, come on. I'd rather be your height with your call of duty skills than the handsome me that I am today. Hell yeah. I just love Call of Duty that much. This event was crazy though, man. I mean, just this, this cast in this room, I mean, we haven't had, like, I haven't seen Apex and rug and all of them probably since like, 2015, I would say, like, like, MLG Anaheim days.

I mean, those guys haven't been around like the competitive Call of Duty scene. so they're not coming to events. I haven't seen, I haven't seen Ricky since Atlanta of... Face Atlanta? The Atlanta Face Tournament? It was, uh... I think it was the first CDL year. Yeah.

Yeah, it was. In Atlanta. It was like right before COVID. So that was like what, 2019, 2020? I think that was the last event before COVID. Or, no, it was L.A. But we weren't at that one. That was our last event that we played at, I think.

It was cool to see Krim too. Crim? Yeah, dude. He's looking... Be sick. I'm like, oh, I got to get back in the gym. I'm like, yo, what the fuck? He's like, I still gotta lose like 25 more pounds.

And I'm like, damn, you're just trying to go faster and faster. He's like, dude, and then he goes off on his crash and this is. I'm like, yo, me, we're talking about him in the podcast about how Crim Six is like a main. And I told him, I'm like, we're talking about how you are a main character in like in the simulation. Nobody goes from that to that and then win in that and shit. And I was like, very, very, very, very happy for him. Yeah, it was good to see everybody It was a fucking dope event

I mean, we gotta Might have to run that back Dude, it should be a yearly thing But they gotta The thing is, is like look at how many people Would have to come to Texas But next year they gotta come to us But this is why though Seth

Obviously Battlestar Battlestar Ranch, you're familiar with it Yep They have a sniper Like we shot snipers there They have like 925 yards is what I shot there No one's beating that You hear the little thing?

Yeah, seven seconds seconds later, of course. Of course. But I think, I think, look, one, it's a perfect place to host a land because it's so much room. All, like, everybody can stay in that house. There's like, fucking, it'll be like, like, camp. We'd all have to say in, I don't know if that house is big enough for that many people. Dude, that's a lot of people. No, it is. Here's what you have to do. It has to be like a three-day thing, 24 camera, 24-hour cameras in like the kitchen, well, in like the main, like, areas, like kitchen living room. Yeah. Just imagine that. For three days, it'd be just phase optic thieves talked about. You're seeing.

Banks in the kitchen. You're in the living room. Yeah. Just like a crazy... Listen. If anyone... We're in Oklahoma so we could smoke that sweet, sweet gong. You know the Malay folk and I love that. I won't do it, of course. No, you won't, of course. Not on camera. Hell no.

Wait, what? I would just go mute. Oh yeah. They want to be in the Pine Park podcast. I would have been fucking awful on that. See, you say that, but you don't know that. No, because here's how it goes. So this current generation of me, back then, I could smoke and I would have had the whole cast crying.

And now if I smoke, you got me for 10 minutes of good convoy, 20 minutes of racing thoughts and I'm quiet and I can't even look at people. And then I come down and then I'm good to go. Maddie, bring up that. There's a 20 minute period where I'm a carcass. There's nothing. No, you don't know that, though. You don't know that. I promise.

I promise you that you don't know what you're saying. Because you don't, listen, I'm not fucking trying to put people on. We can try it. But just no. But we would have to preface it where Zinni might walk off camp for 20 and then I come back. Bro, me and Bose, dude, I was dying. That whole part, I was fucking crying. I did smoke a lot on this one.

Look at these guys, man. Dude, I can't keep up. Now, but these guys are genuinely, like, cool-ass dude. Every time I see these guys, like, Eric Khan, like, they're just, like, the most personable, like, cool group of guys ever. Very, like, inclusive. Like, you're just, like, happy to be around them,

but that makes sense. Like, you always feel comfortable around those guys. That's what I like those guys. We had a really good time out there. Bose and I did the podcast, the Pine Power podcast, and then obviously we had the thing. So I personally, like this sort of event, how do I explain it?

This sort of event was easy to do because the cre- It wasn't on no business shit. You know what I'm saying? It was like a, yeah, like there's going to be merch for the fans and shit. But aside from that, nobody was in there like, oh, we got to say shout out to this sponsor. Shout out to that. There was no business, no business people involved in this thing, okay? None. It was literally

a, a call of duty player named Banks hitting up a call of duty player named Natechot and hacks and all of us saying, sorry, we're just going to bring our voice and we're going to have it out, like old school, like cool shit. And for that, for what you're saying, for the no business, like usually, obviously business comes with money to help with the venue and stuff. I mean, for for us to not have like any, there wasn't a presenting sponsor, right? It was just, yeah, for the venue to be that cool. I mean, dude, it was like, it was nicer than, I mean, there I say it. No, it's going to shit on Major 4, call, dude.

It's going to shit on Major 4. They should have done it there. I mean, I don't understand. Why would you not, I mean, just think about Columbus last year. I mean, that place looked miserable compared to what we were just at. Yeah, right? And that was organized by three creators who, like, come on, man. Well, it has space to sit for all the friends and family.

Good creators, right? Good great minds, but still. No, no, no. So to be clear, because I don't want to take, neither are the creators that I mentioned just now, nor the people here did anything to plan that out. As soon as we, all three agreed that we're going to do that, I immediately put page on the phone with whoever their page was

and whoever their page was, and then the rest of it, they handled. So a lot of hard work went into that in a short amount of time, and we I would I would be I would not be a good person if I didn't give props to the people behind the scenes that are also like oh yeah nobody thought you banks and Nate shot set that up let me get that nobody was thinking that shit I think that courage and Zuma did more on the on the planning side than I did or Nate or or or Banks did but yeah so giving props where props are due it has something to say like that, I hope more corporate people see that and they're like, okay, maybe we should let these guys

do their thing instead of us trying to like micromanage. And you know a way more about this than me. But it's like when sponsors get involved and I get it. You know, they're providing money. They want this done this way. But it's like I truly feel like when you give creators like, I mean, like us, creative freedom and like more opportunity to sort of like make it like bare bones. Like there's like beauty in the bare bones where it's like if everything isn't super planned in meticulate and like super like corporate focused it just it comes together like that it just it reminded me of like old school like before there was big money in this shit and like it was just guys out there playing video games literally everybody wanted to be there everybody wanted to record there

exactly there was no one there was no one there was no one there like oh i had to come here no no no people showed up people showed up that weren't even fucking invited to go you know what i'm saying like that's that's uh that's what's up again i do think that we we should have brought more people right uh i think who else would we have brought though uh damon for sure right damon nick maniac couldn't go but he was on the on the thing right why not what couldn't he couldn't he go because he was i think he went home he went home he went yeah because remember how he had no electricity and shit oh no he went back home to to maryland either way like we we could have brought more more people um I like how it was like a, like, uh,

but like if we brought, if, see, like, if we brought our arsenal, it's just, no, no, no, no, David couldn't have played. Zini shouldn't have played. You're just saying, just come to like, be there. This is what we should have done. No bullshit. This is what we should have done. That's what I was thinking too.

Like, we have a stacked sleeper squad where we could just show up anywhere. It's all pros and the former pros. It's all pros and former pros. You think that that was not by design, dude? Like I've literally only recruited creators that are that used to be pros for us. There's not a single org that can fuck with us on the creator standpoint. But what we should have done. What we should listen.

If we do this again, if we do this again, we should, we should, we should, like, Atlanta phase should have been, or three of Atlanta phase should have been there and three of our guys should have been there to play against the other ones with, with like a creator, right? like hitch and adapt. You know what I'm saying? Should have been playing the long story. Hex. Hacks. Hacks. Shotsie.

Kenny, because we need cops. And then give me, give me Brucey or Pratt. Who cares? Who cares? Oh, he didn't leave either out.

No, look. Age's down it. It wouldn't even be, it wouldn't even be about leaving people out. Like, I volunteered to see who you did. Agee would be happy to just walk around socializing. Yeah, dude. Watch my boys play right now.

You see this? I want, listen, I walked outside of the, I walked outside of the venue and there was this like smoker area. There was like this little little shed with like, yeah, there was a tent and they had a coffee table in the middle like couches. And like, I'm not going to say who, but there was people in that picture rolling up. And I was like, oh my God, I found my area. But yeah, I think I think we should do like a universal thing. Like we have and we should even have like our like they pick four of their production people and we pick four of our production people.

and we picked four of our production people to play games too. We'd slam. We throw meat head out there. He's good. Fuck, yeah. We throw him a head out there. I put his ass down in that tournament. Matt Craig.

Matt Craig. He's only good at a pegs. I will say that parking lot was looking like pit my ride. I mean, I was walking around saying, what the fuck's going on here? GTR, Gwagon.

GT3Rs. I was okay. That's going on here, boys. Who's laundering? S550. Did you ever play Meathead? I slammed them. Yeah, we played him.

I beat him. I beat the shit out of that guy. Did you want him? No, not yet. Oh, you meant, that's what I'm a first. No, it was me hit. Was it us three? No, it was me, you, Jack, and the girl.

Now, there was a different one, wasn't there? Oh, no, no, no, you're right. Yeah. He kept nade me with the propane on the street and I was raging. Bro. Mead, me, I was going dumb, hard. Who? Meadehead?

He was trying his hardest. Yeah, I would too. He was jumping off helipad, like. I met him at Blue a couple of times, put his ass down. Roger? I don't even, I don't even know. Whoever was playing under Roger got shit on too. Maybe it was Riley or someone.

Anyway. No, wait, it was the 3-3 event. It was us three. It was a 3-3 event, I think. Yeah, it was us three. We have, oh, yeah. I had you on bomb duty. I should Hector get that rock down underground.

First of all, not the record show. I've been on bomb duty since Call Duty 2, so no one put me on duty. I know my role. The smartest player in the fucking lobby. May not have the skills to back it up, but definitely the smartest in there, strategically. That was awesome. That's what Stroh always would say. He said you.

Stro, yeah. That's what he'd always say. He said, I'm playing OBJ. He said, Strow, what the fuck are you talking about? Stro? Just drop 60. The 15,000 square foot facility in the heart of downtown Dallas. We house players like Shotsie and Brett.

See, that's also like, he'll be smoking cigarettes, right, Strow. But he's a cool person to smoke next. He's got stories till the end of time, the guy. All right. So if we were to redo this again next year, what do you think was missing this time that we can improve on? And there's a question that's coming out to you guys. I got my answer. All right, you go then.

Well, he thinks. I think we make it longer. I mean, I think we had like a, and not like longer like a 12 hour day, just like multiple days of like action. Different. Yeah, different. That way you have like. Like one day is an MW two day. One day's blackups two day.

Let's be real too. Well, because gaming is obviously. Oh, no, but gaming's a huge part of it, but you can, we can incorporate some, like, actual games, like party games. I don't know the actual games we play, but like, I know what you're saying. I know what you're saying. But that way it's like you get to see not only us gaming, but us interacting as like people. Does that make sense? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But that way there's no time constraints.

We get a house for like two, three days, and it's just live streamed and it's like everybody's on camera besides bedrooms, bathrooms, of course, like living room, all backyard, like just. imagine a full-on like reality show for three days with these with these people yeah but see when we when we see when when we when we when we when we plan shit like that then it becomes a bit too serious and not as like the spontaneous that's that's that's that's all that's all they brought oh i mean who i mean respect i mean okay okay rewind a little bit back Rewind a little bit right there. And then to like where they started the tunnel. To like where the tunnel starts for 100 thieves.

Right there. Pause right here. Okay. So this is a tunnel. And then you start at the bottom. And then on the left hand side, as you're watching on your screen, this will be on the thing, right? As you're watching on your screen, on the left hand side, there's a curtain. But you can see through these little rings.

And they're like, all right, face us up first. Go, you guys are going to come up first. then 100 thieves and we're going to leave the best for last. I have to come outside. And I added that. I'm waiting in the back by myself. And I'm thinking, I'm like, oh, Seth's still on camera. Zinni still on camera.

Bose is. You tell me, stop playing. Obviously outside. Obviously outside with fucking Ericon and Josefo. And I'm like, I'm sitting there by myself. And I'm like, where the fuck? Who else did we bring? And then I'm like, let me record.

Let me record the face guys in the background. And as soon as I pulled my phone out, the first face that I see is Pomage. And I'm like, what the fuck the fuck. Are you doing there, Pam? I'm like, Pam, get your ass fucking back. He forgot. He forgot for a second. He was with all the fans guys.

He probably forgot. I'm like, he was going back again. And I grabbed Apex because me, me, me, Apex and Tommy, like, me, Apex and Tommy, like, really, really, like, have, like, almost like an inside. With Pam, obviously, we have an inside joke about how many times Pam has flipped. So I grab Apex and Tommy. I'm like, y'all, look, man. This motherfuckers. over here, back here, like, acting like he's with y'all again.

And then he's like, well, we, he kind of, we kind of just talked about the contract and he's coming back. And I'm like, no, the fuck. He's, like, man, get you guys. Bro, Pam's great, man. Me and is. We, so we got stuck there that, that next day in L.A. Pam got stuck there with us. And he's, like, yo, what are you guys doing? And we're like, we're going to go grab brunch, you know, we're going to go do our own thing today. Because she was watching the event the other day. So we go get brunch. And Pam's like, I'm to go get a scooter right around L.A. And then he's like, we finished brunch.

And we text him. We're like, yo, we're going to meet up with like Roger, Page, Blake, and all of them at the bar. And he's like, all right, I bet. I just ran it out of bike. I'm about to go right around Santa Monica. He's just like, he's just living, man. He did.

He did live. I'm just picturing him. Scooter around, like a curbier enthusiasm episode, just soundtrack in the background. He's on a boardwalk. See, like, I couldn't, I wouldn't do that type of stuff. Do what? Like, get a scooter. No, no, no, no.

I wouldn't be doing that. Really? I wish I could. I love it. You know, I did do that in Chicago, but it was just walking. Yeah. Yeah. I wish I was done that in Toronto, but I was waking up late because I was drinking drinks and shit.

Yeah, man. Speaking of drinking drinks, I mean, the night after we, we obviously, we get stuck there. You didn't, well, you, yeah, you came out. You guys are fucking crazy. No, I did go out, but I ate tacos and left. Yeah, so we, we get stuck there. We get stuck there. Our flight gets canceled.

Adidas party for his new shoe that drops. Obviously, we got to show up. We're there drinking, hanging out. And then we all go to a bar. We're like, okay, there's too many people here. It's hard to get drinks. So, like, we take a squad of like 25 of us to a bar down the street. And it was like, it was like post-event. It was empty,

right? At first? No, there was... When we got there, it was pretty empty. It was like 15 people in there. No, there were, there was like... There were people in that. See? But, like, that extended the event experience. Because, like, you're just seeing shit that you haven't seen in years. It's like a post-event. There's a booth and it's courage and hitch talking, you're like, okay, you walk over and I see muddog and bows, and I'm like, okay.

And then you're talking to Nate and it was like, wow, man. I'm glad we, I'm glad we, I'm, you have the tacos from outside of that place? I didn't. I'm glad we got stuck there night, but then we missed the watch party. I'm sorry. They were on ass. What are you going to do? They were on it.

No, but I bet you those same people. I didn't miss it. No, of course not. Yeah, of course not. I went live. Yeah, you did. I love that shit. Yeah, he went live.

tweeted it out. So that's how you tweet, I tweeted that shit out. Did you? Yeah, of course. You tweeted out my solo live stream? Yeah, look it. I was still up there.

Really? 100%. God. You know it down, man. Dude, go. Go to my, go to my. It's got to be cavern.

Somebody had to hold it. Dude, go to my shit. But yeah, no, I think, again, is, what? Dude. What?

Fuck, man. You left that there? That is not mine. That's not your banana. Matt, I'm not seeing it. You see it? Son sold. Wait, where is it?

No, go up, go up, go on leaves. Go to the retweets. It's not there. It's fucking hard. It's sound like when you walk on leave. No, no, I definitely did. It's okay. It's okay.

A thousand percent did. No, I got stuck in your drafts. No, a thousand percent I retweeted you. A thousand percent. Wait, where the fuck is it? It was a good. I swear to, I, bro, I swear to God. I swear to God, why the fuck would I bring it up?

I don't know. It's just hilarious. I was looking at Mark. You must have did it on your second. You gotta realize me and Mark have like every time there's something being said, we just go. And it just adds to everything. Well, you deleted the tweet? No, it's all good.

No, I don't know what the fuck? What the fuck happened? Seth, that is, is that, that, was that one of your bananas? Be honest. No. Nobody eats bananas here, but you. Not mine. Okay, well, that's gross.

Nobody eats bananas here, but me, that is cap. We're going to have to get a new one of these. New desk? No, we can't. Well, this is, no, I paid cash for this. I know, but like, we're scraped up in the fresh. $21,000. We got to get a detailed.

This was $21,000? Matt? Like 18 grand, right? They'll just get hit over the head. Who? I can make this. Charge you 45. I'll get you,

I'll get you right. It's got LED lights and shit. I'll pay 15 for someone else to do it and bring it over here. Yeah, we shouldn't have paid 18 for this, Matt, but Roger wanted it. Roger needed it. Hmm. Oh, we definitely got our money's worth. I still haven't got, I mean, yeah.

Anyway, long story short, this is coming with. We should definitely get a new one, though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Why the fuck would we get a new one? I agree. Too dirty. I used to get Matt at formal for bringing food on this shit. I kept it clean for a very long time.

You could, you should get it right. Get what? It's high. Start painting. You're right. That's good. Looks good. Where are we at?

Optic halo. Place is second. You watched the whole thing, yeah? We didn't watch Friday because obviously the travel restrictions. And I wouldn't watch that anyway. Saturday and Sunday. We watched Saturday. We did like kind of our joint watch party,

which was kind of hard to navigate with the CDL because you're allowed to stream Halo on Twitch, which obviously we prefer to be live on Twitch. It's our main platform. And then if you want to watch the CDL, you have to be live exclusively on YouTube. So we kind of have to like time it where it's like, okay, Optic plays here.

We're all right missing this match in the CDL so we can watch Optic Halo play. And then we'll turn off Twitch and then watch the rest of the CDL. But we did, I think we did a pretty good job. And then Sunday we did the, it felt like Apex again, because for Apex Worlds or their, their champs, whatever it is, we were up at like 5 a.m. every morning, watched partying that. And Sunday for Halo, we woke up at 5, we said we were going to do it. We had to do it.

Optic played at 6. And we did six hours of Halo before the CDL. And then we came down town. And they call you a part timer? Yeah, it's insane. And then we came downtown and we did. six hours of the CDL on, I'd like to add also, just for some brownie points

for me, on me and my fianc's five-year anniversary. Sunday was me and his five-year. And I watched Halo and Cod for 13 hours. Last night, or yesterday, I took off. You made up for it? Yeah, we hung out. We went to sister. Oh, I haven't been there a long time.

And we ordered everything. We ordered so much. I mean, we were going nuts. You went there too? Nice. He sent me the order. Come on, man. I mean, I sent the order. Is it just you, him, and is?

I went to via, I went to Via Triozi. I sent the, uh, very good. I've been there a few times now, very good. It's like, uh, it's easier to get in now because it's not brand new, but very good. Just a very small menu, Italian joint, uh, the owner, very nice. It's like all her grandma's recipes. No, it's in Lower Greenville. It's, uh, dude, right there is me a no-no.

I know it all. You do know it all. You get around. Uh, what, catch got pushed to 2025. for Dallas. They're also opening up... I'll wait. I'll wait too.

They're opening up the place we went, you didn't come. The place we went in L.A., Delilah, which is like a hot spot. I would go there for drinks only, but they're opening up one here in Dallas too. Oh, cool. Dallas, a lot of people are moving to Dallas. They're building new shit in Dallas. Don't go with people posting Delilah. Catch.

I'm saying, I'm up here with this shit. We're going to catch. They're all coming to Dallas, man. We'll go to catch. I like catch a lot. That's Livin Jude's favorite place on Earth, dude. We'll hit catch up. Live and Jude don't eat sushi.

It's not their thing. But when we go to cash, like this last time I got them both to eat, even nigeri they were eating. Oh, that's, you know, I'm a fat ass. That's like a great memory for me is us going to catch like every night in Vegas for during champs. We went to catch like two or three times.

Dude, I think champs, every year champs should be in Vegas. No. Every year, once a year. No, you cannot go to Vegas for six days. You can't. You can't go for six days. You need to go. I'm down to go to champs in Vegas.

There is a three-day max on Vegas. Dinners are fucking insane. Dinners you walk downstairs and there's catch and then you hit the tables getting drinks. I can't. Listen, bro, I love Vegas. But it's a three-day max. I come up at 3.30, get a burger and 97. I'm like, I don't give a fuck.

I'm into the door with a blood in my ear. I'm like, $97 burgers and shit? 9738. Just on some fucking degenerate shit. Get the blundry? Yeah. No, I'll tell you. There's something.

something in that auction that makes you not care. You're opening a Fiji bottles in the room, a mini bar of candy. I don't give a fuck. There actually is extra oxygen. They pump more oxygen into the casino to keep you awake. No, it keeps you more awake. It keeps you awake and happy.

What they disguise it as is like, there's so much smoke that we're going to pump oxygen in here to sort of combat the smoke and then you can get that. But no. They, it's like, they run a good operation, man. Well, some casinos don't let you smoke inside of them anymore. So that's,

they were a good operation. over there. Isn't the aria? Can you not smoke it? I don't think you can smoke in the aria. Part of the interruption, ladies and gentlemen,

Off the strip, nice and chill, dad vibes. Cosmo, I'm telling you. That's the one. No, Cosmo is like for literal young, young trap lords. You walk into Delilah, Patty B's, milk bar. Fire. Yeah, that's the issue. Everything's good in Vegas.

So it's like the only thing to do is gamble, eat and drink. so that's why there's a three-day max. Because once you're there longer than three days, you're just, it's bad. Besides gambling, I do not. I personally am not a gambler. I will do it with my friends, but I set a limit.

I'll never forget the story. I'll never forget it in my life. So it was the event, first and foremost, this was when you guys were on Huntsman and Alec was on a team, and I can finally say it, he was torching the table, dude. I was losing my mind. I was sitting next to you, Alec,

and he just hitting on shit, and I'm like, it was all Huntsman. to me as I didn't want to say anything. I'm just, I'm looking at formal. I'm like, you thought Hector? I couldn't believe. I could. I was like, I was like, come on, bro. Tell him to stop hitting on this shit. Anyways, though, but you're walking around the casino. I can tell you're looking flustered. I was like, how much you down? He goes, dude, I'm down 200. I was like, what? He goes, I'm down 200. I was like, I did not say that, bro. I swear, all my grandfather's grave,

you said that. I swear to everything I love. And I was like, what are you talking about? I'm down a rack. He's like, dude, I'm done. I'm going home. I was like, dude, you're out of your mind, man. I respect it, though, because I wish I could lose 200 and walk away. I'd chase. The best was when Nate, well, is Ninja, Tim, Courage. Matt is a group. I can't imagine that table. Oh, shit, I'd walk away.

No, dude, they, like, listen, we're not even not talking about the tens of thousands that they were gambling. I want to talk specifically about Nate Schott and how he went down. He got there, and within 11 minutes, no, no, within 8 minutes he was done 11. grand within eight minutes and I'm like I was like he didn't feel it I'll never forget I was in Vegas I will never forget oh I was with my then girlfriend at the time and I was gambling I put a $25 chip down out of nowhere Jack Kerge Dunlop over my shoulder 500 chip and I'm like are you serious dude what are you an asshole making me look like shit oh different I don't think Jack was was doing but but but he did Jack won I think like 40 grand

ran when he wasn't even at the table. Yeah, you were there. Remember we went to? Yeah, he wanted to go. What? Wait, wait, wait, wait. I got to hear the story. No, so we were playing craps.

We were all at the McGregor fights. And Jack was rolling. I'm pretty sure Jack was rolling. It's us for. Me, Jack, Nate, and Scump. Yeah. And Jack's rolling. And this guy next to him, so there's a bet in craps where it's basically around the world.

So if you hit everything, the odds are just like insane. It's like, what are the odds? Like, 350 to one? It's crazy odds. So this guy has like a couple hundred. $100 down on the around the world. And Jack's rolling, just keeps rolling, roll and rolling. He was on a fucking heater for 45 minutes.

Yeah, the guy won like 35 grand just said, thank you very much, walked away after. I was like, he didn't even go give him a, give you a hundred or anything? No chip. Didn't even give the, I didn't even a hondo, but. A dealer's a chip. He won like 35 grand. I think he had 100. How much is it?

Fuck. I'm going to look up what the odds are on it. 350 to 1. Damn. Those are odds. Yes. That's right up my alley. Those are odds.

You put a thousand down on that? Around the world odds. It is. Catches on me that night. Everything. Hot rock. You get the money right then and it. Oh, I need two weeks.

You need security too. Oh, yeah. Because especially me, they'll come after me. They'll see me as a target. That kid has 350K in that pocket. You ever see the... I can't find it. You ever see the video of ex-Q see and Aden, like gambling?

I'm tired of watching them. I see them pull up. They were popping duffel bags with millions. I couldn't believe it. Tired of it. He's like, that's 1.5, that's two. That's what I owed you. Like, what the fuck?

They'll call it to them for fun, yo, Aiden, I need 100K loan. Okay. I was just joking. What did me? What did you mean? He didn't mean. He's joking. It's fucking crazy.

If I called you saying, y'all need 100K right now, what are you saying? That's too bad. What if I called you inside? I need $100,000. I call Hector. I know you're good for it. Hold on. Don't disrespect like that.

Don't disrespect like that. I'm the public air. I'm good for it. I'm good for it. You are. I think you'd be good for it. Very quite good for it. Yeah, I think you'd be all right for it.

Now, 100? I'd even have to think of it. I'd be like, oh. 100. No, but no, that's the true trust. Hector, I need 100K, no questions asked. I'll get it back to you next week. I think you would do it.

I think you'd do it too. You just talk a big game. If I was like, yo, I need it. I got you back next week. He is not enough. Well, I just text his mom. You'd text my mom. I'd have to move some investments around.

I'd say, Kristen, listen up. It's Tony. And I'd just explain the situation. Wire? And then she'd call me and say, can I send this? And I'd say, absolutely not. I thought you were going to be like, hey, who's Tony? No, no, no

She doesn't know you as Tony Nobody knows you as Tony You only call your I bet you're the only person That calls yourself Tony Fat Tony No one calls me Tony Besides Fat Tony

I call you Zinn and that's it Most of my friends Call me Zinn or Zinnie And then my family calls me Anthony I'm in the backroom playing Blackjack with Fat Tone Um But Optic Halo

They play second So we watch that Faze looked crazy again. Shopify Rebellion. They looked very good. That's Billy Mentals team, dude. They looked crazy. So they placed top three.

I feel like, I mean, usually it's Faze Optic, Space Station, in whatever order, top three. So it was good to see a bit of a shakeup there. Space Station won the first event of the year. Yeah. So Space Station wins the first event. They get fourth. Now Faze wins the second event. We get second.

Is Quadrant? Did the quadrant play good better than they normally do? Yeah. Quadrant played solid. That's probably about where they'll always be. The biggest drama was complexity. Did you hear about complexity? No.

So you know Spartan on complexity? Yeah. His team flies to London, right? They're jet lagged already. Spartan is the guy that's always talking shit. Yes, yes, yes. But so essentially everybody gets assigned by the league in SSD. The SSD is, for example, if you played on a setup before me,

they would take out your SSD and put in mind, and that's method, settings, and his classes, whatever. So they give everybody an SSD And I think he tried upgrading that SSD There's an actual I could get some of this wrong But there's an actual statement but he either tried

Upgrading his SSD Or using his own To up his FPS and shit To give him a competitive advantage The league found out Disqualified the team But look though They told them

They told them They said he brought his own They took it away from him They gave him and then he did the same thing that he did on the other one. Again, I mean, that's what I took from. Oh, man, the background is. Drew Poole player, AGE is London Major Complexity,

were on stage preparing for their match against Face Clan when during the routine equipment checks, the administrator was led to discover that Spartans SSD was not the official tournament SSD upon further inspection. It was discovered that the software and the SSD was not provided by the administration, and furthermore, that can contain new unapproved software as well as other changes to the existing software

in an effort to increase the performance of the PC, No software of any other nature was discovered when talked to Spartan, I'm sorry, when talked to Spartan cooperated with the investigation. He wasn't like hacking, but what he, so he up the fan speed. He basically just up the PC's performance to give him more FPS, but nonetheless, you can't do that because then you're still. It's competitive advantage. Exactly.

So it's not like he's wall hacking or aim, but like it's definitely breaking the rules and they definitely deserve it to be disqualified. And that's also just shitty for his teammates. Like that's what infuriates me is like... You know who's mad? You know who I'm mad for? Who? Jason fucking leak.

I mean, yeah. This guy, this guy's trying to make something happen and we got people wasting fucking money like this? Because Spartan's actually... Because Spartan's a good player, too. A hundred percent. We always see Spartan popping off. And I'm pretty sure their roster has been pretty solid.

Well, now we know why he's been popping off. But like it's just... It's just fucking fans and shit. It's one thing to do it at home if you're playing online. Go ahead. I mean, that's... I would do the same if I was at home, right? Because that's just your personal setup, you up the fan speed, you get better performance.

Who doesn't do that? On land, when you know everybody's using the same shit, you just can't do that. You can have a faster fan. It's just a... You're a fast fan. The fans, the fans are... They make them fast. Socks for his teammates.

Yeah, that sucks, man. I feel for them. But as I like to say, what are you going to do? What are you going to do? What are you going to do? It was a shit. And I was a fun watch. At least they caught it early.

because they could have got deep into the tournament and then they catch it. Could have they made it? How did they've been doing? I don't know how I would have felt. If you're about to play winners or some shit? And you find out you're disqualified because this fucker's been turned up his fans.

No, but I wonder. You have J-Sol in the background like looking at? I don't think they do that. I don't think they would have disqualified them if it was late in the tournament though. Because if they're in winners semis or finals, they're not just going to give their opponent a free win.

I feel like they can't do that. You know what I'm saying? They can't be like, you know what I'm saying? like let's say it's phase complexity the winner makes grand finals you can't just give phase a free win to grand finals so they would probably let them play with a sub

or like I guarantee the rule that it would have been different if they found out later so thankfully they found out earlier because that would have been different because I don't think like once you're in bracket play so they got to squalify

because of the show must go on no well it just once it's like top four top six I feel like you can't disqualify and give a team a free win into like a later round I could be wrong, but I feel like the ruling would have been different compared to, because pool play is very different compared to, like, actual deep bracket play.

Coach, players, hotels, that's a, that's a expensive trip. To London. And look, I mean, when I say, I'm like, J-Saw's in the background, you know who J-Sol is? Yeah, I know that name. You remember J-Saw? J-Sol and he worked for Infinite, and he was the manager who was on stage with that Optic India team that got disqualified for cheating. You don't remember that? No.

What was the name? Forsaken? The guy that's... That's crazy. Fucking cheating ass, motherfucker. You were a mind-blown when you found out? What? You were mind-blown when you found out?

No, I didn't surprise me. I'm like, that would have never happened if I had eyes on that team. That would have never happened. Damn. It's dishonorable, man. That's fucking crazy, bro. Yeah. For like two years, I felt like, oh, that guy dishonored my team.

I mean, I have, I have technically. I guess. Shame to the fucking family this fucking kid. I'm mad again. How so? I've been on main stage before and we're like

we're down 01 we're talking to me kill it, but they're like, yo you guys ready and like damn the map just ended yeah Adam kick that wire out

let's turn that Xbox off. Let's get a little like seven, 10 minutes a little bit say last hour held up act like he dropped something and like for real for him?

Yeah, that's true. Yo I watched Civil War last night Did you watch it? I'm almost done. I thought it was solid. Yeah. So far so good.

Interesting take on like a American Civil War. Oh, I was thinking Captain America. No, it's like a Civil War in America. Oh, it was good? Yeah, it was solid. And they follow like... No, no, you go, you go. But bring up Hutch's tweets about that.

Without spoiling, it's a civil war in America. There's certain states that like turn against the rest of the U.S. And then... Texas being one of them, obviously. Texas, California and Florida, I think, were the three. and then Kirsten Dunst is like the head of a photographer slash press group and they're trying to make it to Washington T.C. To interview the president of the United,

of like the U.S. that's falling apart. Worth to watch? But it's like it's crazy. That sounds fire. Yeah. But it like follows them and they're like taking pictures while there's like fights going on and shit. More like literal brutality. It shows you how it's going to be.

It's, it was good. It was dope. You guys need to build a bunker. Huh? I was telling you on stream. We're in a great state of Texas. We're good. No, but the stormers are getting crazy.

I don't know what's going on. We need a bunker. Because this shit's not normal. It's like there's tornadoes popping up. This is normal. There's, there's rain. The whales are swimming faster and weird. Shit's going on.

You mean faster. Did you find it? We need a bunker. I'm looking at these two. I need a bunch of shit. I need three spots. Nah, bro. You're tweaking.

Seven. Got a flying the family. Listen. I. love y'all. In this world, I would care for you. But when it comes between the safety of my daughter and my dogs and my wife, you guys don't know.

I already haven't planned out. But it's going to be a big bunker. But if you have room, you got to at least accept one of them. I'd accept you. Boles or? You don't got to pick. If you have room, all I'm saying. You don't got to pick.

So the bunker has to be large. And then each person's in charge of their own food. in toiletries. So you would build the bunker graciously. I would allow that. Matt doesn't eat shit. That's not how it worked though. Because then you bring your food and then they run out of their food. Now they're looking at your food and I'm like this. Get the fuck out of it. Civil war. So you step in Hodge's in Civil War. Yeah, if you guys fuck with like kind of like

dystopian like war movies. Yeah, this one's really good. It's dope. I like let me check it out. Have you guys seen Godzilla? Do you watch Godzilla yet? I watch minus one. I'm not going to lie. I wasn't the big. And I fucking. Wait, minus zero? Of Godzilla. Minus one. You finished it? Wait, is there a minus zero?

No, it's minus one. It's minus one. I haven't watched it yet. I just finished watching Kong and Godzilla. I fucking love that lizard. I fucking love Godzilla. I like it? What?

You didn't love it? I didn't love it. Really? I thought it's like... I thought it was incredible. The design of Godzilla, they make him look like a fucking bitch. Well, no, no, no. Our Godzilla in America, he's fucking as big as like a skyscraper.

No, you got. you gotta realize like that one that one ties small and shit but he does have a cool ability is his atomic breath listen his atomic breath he like shoots it and it's like he like sets off a nuke it's not like it's not like the laser of our godzilla or it's just like a laser he'll like shoot it it hits and then it just like it goes silent for a second and then just boom okay it's like a fucking a nuke if anybody watching that scene it leaving the comments what you thought of godzilla minus one i thought it was amazing it was like very like i thought it was good it was It was, it's directly correlated to like the OG Godzilla movies in Japan.

I thought it was good. I'm not saying I thought it was bad. I just thought the design of Godzilla was like so underwhelming. And that's probably just because I've seen our iteration of Godzilla. And they just made him look like a fucking, I think they told a better story. Like the storyline was better. Yeah, I agree. Our movies are like more CGI.

Yo, let's make Godzilla and the fights look crazy. But that's what I'm there for. I'm not there for a story. I'm there for the lizard. I'm there to see gods. Godzilla and King Kong flying off of shit. Yeah. I'm looking forward to seeing it.

I don't know. Hodge, I thought I read somewhere. Hodge Sweet was said that it was like movie of the year. Yes. I want to iterate. I didn't dislike the movie. I thought the movie was good. Wait, Civil War.

I disliked the design of the lizard. Gotcha. It's hard to imagine another movie coming along in 2024 that'll that outplays above Civil War. Maybe Furiosa. and he's just a big fan of Mad Max. I heard the movie's incredible, by the way. Which one?

Furiosa? Oh, yeah. They're saying it's incredible, but it's not doing that well because the actual name Mad Max isn't in the name. But everyone's saying like, because right now the box office isn't doing crazy and people are applying like it sucks that an incredible movie like this isn't getting the spotlight it deserves. So apparently it's very good.

Hutch is the biggest fanboy of... The thing with Guy Ritchie's recent films. Guy Ritchie's Tangying. Guy Ritchie's like his movie's... His movies traditionally have never done well in the box office, but they become cult classics. The latest one, the Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, was so elegantly put together that the story may not have been as concise or as intriguing as all of the rest of them. But it was just like a fun action adventure spy movie. Did you watch it, right?

You haven't watched it yet? Whoopsie. Have you watched it? No, you don't watch that shit. You haven't watched it. No. Gentleman, dude,

watch that shit tonight and have the time of your life. It is fucking hilarious. You know what I need? Your Apple login. No. And. Because they don't rent movies.

They buy them. I'll do this. You can just watch it. Oh, yeah. My bad. You know, I actually wanted to bring it up because I think it's somewhat funny.

So minus one. I didn't know it came out on Netflix. So I went to Apple TV and I'm like, yo, it finally dropped. I'm like, I'm looking at it is. Like, she don't give a fuck, but I'm hype.

And we bought it on Apple TV, but it's on Netflix, which I have a subscription to. It was also on Hulu or Prime. It's on Netflix. But you got to understand my, like, joy. I'm like looking at Apple TV. I'm looking at the movies, everything that came out. I'm like, yo. Oh, no, I haven't watched it.

I'll watch it tonight. No, but like, you know what me and you do? We rent the movie. $5, watch it. You're good. They buy it $20. Right when I saw it was available. I remember it.

It was like 1030. at night. Right when I saw that shit was on, I said, right now, theater, like, to E's, I was like, you don't got a choice. You're going downstairs. We're watching it. Went downstairs. Watch it. Nice. I can't wait to watch it myself. But do, do yourself a favor. Right now, no choice. Because usually she'll be like, ah, I'm like, how about this? I'm going to pitch. I'm going to pitch it to you like this. It's based on a true story taken from Winston Churchill's, Private. Ungentlemanly.

Yeah, I know. I know the whole spiel. And it's based on the, it's based on the human, which the famous character, 007 was based off of. Wait, what? So the movie. James Bond? Yes, it was based off of this dude in this movie, not in this, the character that

James Bond meets Winston Churchill film? No, listen to me. Yes. Is that enough for you? That's all. I mean, yeah, I'll watch it. I'm a fan of film of TV. The guy that Winston.

Churchill hired for something, that guy is what they based 007 up. Okay, okay, okay. Because he was that gangster. It's so good. It's so clever, too, man. Gotcha. Let's talk Cod for just a little bit. We haven't talked about it at all.

I know some people losing to Vegas. Yeah. Are people overreacting? Yeah, I don't think it matters at all, bro. It don't ever happen again. I've said this a lot. Whenever Optic loses, no matter what, people grasp at straws and they want to talk about things so they over-exaggerate it.

Listen, Vegas played very well. They won a last map series against Optic online. No one gives a fuck about online college. No one actually cares. I don't care. It's annoying. Please finish. Please finish.

Sorry. It's one thing if you lose four in a row and it's like, okay, what the fuck's going on? You're allowed to lose once. Like Vegas, people think that because we're the best team in the world, you can't lose. That's not how competition works. lose on any given day, and that's why showing up any given day is important. Vegas showed up,

Vegas showed up good, and we played like shit, honestly. Yeah, the fact that people are taking that away from Vegas, it's also like an issue for me, because like some teams do rise to the occasion. Vegas look good. That's what I'm saying. They rose to the occasion and they did their thing. They like, they like, they play, they beat us on our

best hard point, which is sub-based. We hadn't lost it. We were 11-0 on it throughout the season, and they were the first team that beat us on. I mean, they played... Well, they're, I mean, it's all in the line for them. They're playing fucking good. They're trying to make champs. I mean, it's every match for them is do or die. We definitely have a big cushion. But I also think losses like this are actually good

because it keeps the team humble. It's like, okay, you know, we need to keep ourselves and check because, you know, we fuck up on any given day. This type of thing can happen. Yeah. So I think, honestly, I look at it as more of a positive. I know some people will say that excuses or cope, but I genuinely think it's good to keep a winning team on their toes like that. Rather it happened here than at major four or at champs. That way they know, But we still need to go into every match. Yeah. When I say, I don't give up.

Like, no one gives a fuck is like, the same people that are making a big deal out of that are the same people that are taking, that are saying that Optic lost instead of saying the Vegas won. Yeah. That's why, like, I'm like, no one gives a fuck about those sort of opinions. Online matches also for me are like, especially,

like, next week, we only play one match, right? Yeah, we play, I think, just Minnesota. on Sunday this weekend. It's like, I was watching Kenny's podcast with Hitch. You should watch it. It's really good. It's around the bar with Kenny.

And, and, you know, they were talking about how, like, they'll practice an entire week. And yeah, like, obviously they get better in that,

but it's, like, disheartening to practice your ass off for one week for only one match, like, on the weekend. That's been a major flaw in the CDL basically since it's been a thing.

Yeah, that's always how it's been. I mean, it's, which I think which I think obviously hurts the better teams because the less match the less match reps that you get

I mean obviously the worst I don't know I mean yeah Vegas look good though sure you gotta give them their credit yeah they were shooting they were fucking shooting I mean those guys looked aren't yeah and obviously we get cheese a little bit on the map 3 but I've heard we so we haven't played

multiplayer ranks since the new patch came out just because obviously X Define dropped we've been playing like rebirth we've been just playing other things. But the propanes do still blow up. Those propane. Those propane. So they do still blow up.

Everyone was kind of like freaking the fuck out during the high rise when it blew us up. To be fair, though, that was a little bit of a swing. Oh, yeah, no, it was definitely a swing. But they still do blow up. Yeah. They're not fixed. They still work.

They still blow up. Yeah. And it only fucking killed Shati and Dashie, I think, and Pred was literally, up on it. He was Prad and Shati were up on it. It kills Shati kills Dashie coming out of blue but Prad stays alive. Yeah, here it is. What the fuck?

But hey goes to replay. I think it was Dash. That little fine. I mean, yeah, look I mean, you just never know, right? You have a little stack going. I mean, you make two kills your rounds over. We were about the we just don't expect that. Two seconds to make up. He goes to replay. Yeah, Shotsie just got two.

On this propane. Yep. I just think Shotsie should pick better positions on the map to. Because a couple tax get thrown off the response. And I think I think it blows up in like a T, so I think it blows up. I think it would be a roster change. Oh, like this way.

Yeah, like from the middle of the, like, from the middle of the cylinder, like where the circle is, I think it blows up like straight and then out, it doesn't blow up back. You just don't expect how to make sense. That's my mind of its own that thing. That br-dra-d-d-a-d-d-b-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-hirt. Yo, did you see that Mr. Beast overtakes T-series? You should try to get on his reality show. Dude, I tweeted him. He follows me, but we'll see.

He's the number one YouTuber in the world. YouTuber in the world. He should DM him then. Hell no. Then he's going to unfollow me. No. He just won't read it. I can't give him a reason to unfollow. That's a good follow. Just walk around. You think he looks at you like that? He won't even fucking... I don't know. It's because my dad's bar was like a ghost kitchen for Mr. Beasburger. Oh, hell yeah.

So back when Mr. Beasberger came out, I was like, yo, whatever. And he followed me because of that. Yo, was there a lot of burger speed made? Yeah, I mean When Mr. Beasberger first came out I think everyone was trying to try it Yeah, well, everybody wanted to be Trying Mr. Beesberger for the first time But he's, I think he stopped that though

Because he couldn't His chocolate's fucking crazy huge now It's everywhere you go It's like... Yeah, it does really well But the Mr. Beasberger, I think he stopped it Because you can't like guarantee Quality and stuff

When there's that many like random ghost kitchens Yeah That's one of the reasons why I turned down the taco thing Yeah. I'm like, my mom's salsa can't make it to a thousand locations. Yeah, I feel you on that. And I'm like, I'm like, quality of the meat needs to be good. And that's it.

The tortilla, who fucking cares? This sauce is what's going to make that taco fucking memorable. And I'm not, you know, what are you going to do? Send that shit everywhere. Now, did you guys know that some sources are saying the Calgary, Modern Warfraid 3 and Warzone? What are you going to say? That. Go ahead.

I'm going to start playing. Hit them. Oh, you read it? Okay, recording to several sources, Call of Duty will feature at the Eastboards World Cup in Saudi Arabia with both Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone tournaments, possibly happening with a prize pool approaching 3 million. What the fuck did we do?

Hopefully there's some kind of 3B3S and D.AX. Creator tournament, 3B3, 4V4. I'll start screaming every day. I'm a little bit confused at reading that just because I thought they already announced the official games list. And this is like a possibility. Yeah. Hold on, go up.

No. 1.8 million MW3? They already released like the full list and this wasn't on it. They could add it. And the E-Sports World Cup is coming up like soon, right? Isn't it this summer? Well, this was found. August 15th.

My birthday. Oh, that's a perfect birthday gift. Eastport World Cup, Tony. Please. Please. Oh, you're, no, you're October for October. Oh, shit. So you, fuck, you, maniac, my dad and Bella.

And Bella all have August 15th birthdays. And was crazy. One of my best friends from home in New Jersey, he was born same birthday as me one year ahead of me. Crazy. Like one of my best friend ended up same birthday one year ahead. You are born on the same day like 40 years or how old are you? 26. 20 years ahead of Bella.

Crazy. Of the same day. Sorry to cut you guys off. I'm just reading this, and I'm just thinking about, like, Activision's side of this. There's no fucking way they are giving the East Sports World Cup the rights to run this event. Because there's just no way. I think there's no way. There's no way.

A month after the CDL season ends, you think they're going to let them fucking run this? Yep. At the end of the day, it's a good promotion for their game. A $1.8 million tournament where they don't have to put up the prize pool. At least that's the way I'm thinking of it. I don't be wrong. I don't think they're going to let them run this. All right.

I believe that this is a high possibility that this will happen. So we'll see. We'll just sit around and see and wait to see what happens. I think it would be cool personally. 1.8. I mean, that's a prize pool that we need because it's time we start crowdfunding or something because I'm watching Dota get $50 million prize pool, 16-year-olds, multi-millionaires walking through the halls, Jan Sport.

I mean, what's going on here? What's crazy about this is, though, is that like, so champs. So this is going to be about a month after champs, right? So it's going to give the point. players an opportunity. They're going to play champs and then they're going to play another champs like the same prize pool. So it's

definitely an interesting thought. Damn. Interesting thought. We need to. Got to attempt at the 1.8. We need to. No, we won't be. Two creators, two players, me you, Pradesh. He'll be getting slammed. And that is going to do

it for episode number 178. Thank you, guys for tuning in shouts out to shopify factor and fando we'll see you guys next week thanks for watching
