Starting point is 00:00:00 Yeah, I just, I never, I'm not, I'm not Seth. I never played with Barbies. What's crazy is, I'm at the movie theater. Wait, can I ask you a question? Where did you get the Barbies? You have no sisters. That's fucking sickening. They were bought for you.
Starting point is 00:00:18 There's no other way around it. Who were they bought for? You don't have any sisters. I wasn't at my house. It was at someone's house. Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Eve. Whoa, I was going to see Eaves Drop Podcast. Seth, you got to come on the eavesrap?
Starting point is 00:00:42 Yeah. If you would do me that favor? Yep. I'll be on it. We just got back from a bender. Oh, yeah. Me? The majority of this table got invited.
Starting point is 00:00:57 I have my own bender. You had your own... I was on my own bender in Jersey. You were in your own bender in New Jersey. It was good. What can you say about the beautiful unity of the tying of the knot? Of the tying of the knot. of not only a great friend of ours, ex-teammate,
Starting point is 00:01:14 but a beautiful woman that he tied the knot to. I mean, a soulful, good person. It was fucking, it was phenomenal. There's really no other way to put it. It was, the reception was fun, the ceremony was fun. Everything was a good time. Got to hang out with a bunch of people that we know, you know, that we don't get to see very often in person,
Starting point is 00:01:37 and got to just get down. It was a great time. It was a great time to see them get married. And I hope a long life of health and happiness to the new Hagues. This podcast is brought to you by Price Picks, and we'll tell you a little bit more about them later on in the podcast. Did you have fun? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:59 Did you send your suit back yet? Yeah, of course. I am a grown man. Today. Yes, Sam. And by me, I mean, it is. Yeah, you just take it, you put it in the bag, and you give it somebody to ship it. That's it.
Starting point is 00:02:10 Would you rent them? No, it was a program that they had. But the suspenders and shit, they're still in that hotel room probably. Somebody should send in all those suspenders and apply them to that account. Oh my God, they'd clutch. They clutch so hard. I don't know how much that would be. 25 a day.
Starting point is 00:02:28 So I tailored the pants. They're supposed to be 180. I tailored their pants. It's supposed to be 180. But I'm going to just send it back, try to get it off. Yeah, they won't know. They won't know. If anything, you did them a favor.
Starting point is 00:02:37 If anything. Yeah, yeah. No, no, seriously. Like, they should be paying you. Like, yeah, yeah, I agree. Because what the fuck? I mean, Jesus. So day one.
Starting point is 00:02:45 Did you walk out dancing like you were worried about? No, we don't have to, yeah. No, we don't have to do that. Day one, we went to Pebble Beach, and we had fire pits, fireside drinks and apps. I had 13 ramen cogs. 13. I was counting. Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:04 And this was like a cold start, too, because I don't drink. You guys know that. It was three hours long. And he had 13. It's a lot of drinks and but not. I mean, what you go on? Can't ask me how many times I went to the bathroom at that place?
Starting point is 00:03:16 Not a single fucking time. And they had some heavy pores at that place. Yes, they did. Like my old fashioned, the first one that I got was just filthy. The second one I was like, can y'all please like put a sugar cube or put something in this shit?
Starting point is 00:03:29 And he was like a sugar cube. And I was like, dude, this was straight bourbon. Please. The views out there were insane. Like beautiful views, beautiful scenery.
Starting point is 00:03:39 I've been, I've been to that area before that's where the first Pine Park farm was at. I was going to go over there to see if they had any cam driver because I'm looking for some cam driver. Is that a fake tattoo? That right there. Why is that smearing? Yeah. Jesus.
Starting point is 00:03:58 Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, I see it now. I thought that the handle part, what? No. I thought it was actually smearing.
Starting point is 00:04:07 I was like, no way. No, it's like, It's cloth, right? Or some? Flowers? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:13 All right. Back to his part of me. My AD Super HD. Wait, what? You thought I was offending him? I was just asking. All right. You haven't seen the new,
Starting point is 00:04:22 on TikTok and the reason that I asked it has become TikTok, they're selling those fake tattoos right now. You seen that? They're not like... Like the ones from the gummy ball machines? No. No, I don't think...
Starting point is 00:04:32 Like, go we pot hot water on it and peel. Same concept, same concept, but they're not as dark as, traditional tattoos. So they seem as though they've been there for a while. So they're not like the machine ones where they're like, you can clearly tell. These are more like weathered like this. They don't look black. They're more weathered. That's what I was like, oh. Like what is it called? Hena? Yeah, there you go. No, Hena is something else. Oh. But yeah, like those are all fake. Yeah. Shit, I might have to get a few and see how I would. Wait,
Starting point is 00:05:01 those look. I mean, those look dope for like fake. Those look real as fuck. Dude, dude. If you're going to get a tattoo, get a tattoo. I'm just saying if you don't want to get a Herman ups here. I'm just saying if you don't want to, sorry, you grow up. Let me get a, let me just get a tattoo. I mean, no, but bro, if you're walking around with a fake tattoo on the beach one day or something, and then the next fucking two weeks you come back and it's just gone. I'm going to be like, what the hell?
Starting point is 00:05:21 What happens is like it? I got laser. I got laser in it out. Yeah, that's what I was asking, pistachia. I wasn't being, uh, yeah, yeah. If you're offended, that's your fault. I'm kidding. Oh.
Starting point is 00:05:33 I got a good. I got a, I got one. It's just. So how has this opening the CSGO case has been? Oh, dude. What a fucking, what a, what a segue. I loved it. No, well, let's finish, let's finish out the wedding.
Starting point is 00:05:45 There you go. So this is why. This is why in this very moment, I think, or like, in, or like two hours or the day before, two hours before this, I said, I'm going to order one right now. So that by the time I get home, it's waiting for me, the steam deck. And sure enough, it was there. I don't know. It seemed like something that I wanted to, uh, to partake in.
Starting point is 00:06:05 And I've had a lot of fun doing it. Yeah. Well, so we were. at the groomsmen, like the day of the wedding. And we all opened a case on camera. Oh yeah. I forgot we did that. You forgot that early? I mean, I forgot. I mean, I never did that. You were out. That was like 1 p.m. What a night, bro. Matt asked me. Matt asked me, he was like, so when did you like, when did everything start getting fuzzy for you on the day of the wedding? And I was like, uh, probably like after dinner is when And I, once I hit that dance floor, it was over.
Starting point is 00:06:41 Mine was when we got on the bus. Right when we got on the bus, I started feeling. To go to the wedding? To Barmel. Oh. That's when I was like, ooh. What are we doing? Like, we're already there.
Starting point is 00:06:53 We're already here. My feet were screaming. We got to keep going, though. Yeah. I, uh, I mean, every single, again, I don't, I'm not, I'm not a heavy drinker, like, at all. I used to be, but not, but I went there and I'm like, it's Thursday. I'm going to pretend like it's an MLG event.
Starting point is 00:07:07 Let me get 13 rum. and coax I didn't do the three tequila shots because I knew that that would have sent me into a place that I didn't want to I took it I did take a tequila shot at the yeah the dinner at the wedding party or whatever yeah so the wedding party which was the following day all right so so so imagine you don't drink for a while and then you just come back straight like like it was riding a bicycle I have my 13 rum and coax I'm still you know very like I'm animated everything's fucking happening you know we're all good then I just go to bed right we go to sleep I wake up and immediately, bro, it's 4 a.m.
Starting point is 00:07:41 I look at the clock, it's 4 a.m. And I reach to grab one of those wine bottles that had the, you know how they serve you the bottle and it had this much water in it, this much water. And I'm like, why the fuck did I do that to myself? Why the fuck did I do that to myself? I would have much rather grab the cup and realize that there's no water in there, but because the little under an ounce shot of water that I took,
Starting point is 00:08:00 I just got up with the biggest headache, felt like shit, felt like puking, went to the faucet, and I just said, oh you're from I'm like you're from Mexico do it so I just like
Starting point is 00:08:10 so I drink like five water oh the mountain water yeah but you know what what I found out is that it's well water so it was pretty good went back to bed
Starting point is 00:08:21 woke up at around like nine missed breakfast I hate missing breakfast but I woke up fine but then immediately after that like by 11 everybody was drinking again so I'm like what am I supposed to do
Starting point is 00:08:30 I had one of the best white mocha coffees I've ever had in my life there was like a little town like right behind my hotel, I just would walk through it. And, bro, there was actually a pizza shop that looked fire there. It was like, only Italians could park in front and shit. It was funny.
Starting point is 00:08:44 I had funny-ass words on it. And, yeah, bro, the coffee shop there, I was like, you know me, I don't drink coffee. They poured that mug up. I was like, oh, my God, it was so. You said they poured that mug up. It was so good, bro. Yeah. That town was dope.
Starting point is 00:09:01 I'd go back, like, on some chill shit. This is the other, this is the other thing. was it? Carmel Valley, California. Like south of San Jose. And it's 45 degrees at night, 50, like. Yeah, it was cold. Oh, it's so was, I love that.
Starting point is 00:09:15 This is the thing. Perfect for you. I was in heaven. It was cold. Seth and I went on a mission to get suits. Yep. Because we're like, they're like, yo, the thing is, it's like there was no set, Matt was like, yo, you can be chill about it.
Starting point is 00:09:33 Yeah, they made it seem like. Yeah. Yeah. And then everyone was like, you're not bringing a, you didn't bring a suit? And I was like, I know,
Starting point is 00:09:41 I didn't, what am I going to need three suits for for the whole time? Yeah. I was confused. Yeah, I brought my suit.
Starting point is 00:09:48 My fitting suit. Yeah, same. I was like, I could wear what I'm going to wear a wedding. I'll bust that John out. Proceed with the story. So Seth and I are like, I see Seth and he's,
Starting point is 00:09:56 I'm like, I'm like, ah, man, I can't wear jeans to this thing. And I'm like, Seth also like, I can see that Seth wants to change. I want to change. Oh, and out of the, would you have the shark shirt?
Starting point is 00:10:07 He had a Hawaiian tiger shirt. He had a shirt that he gave me. Yeah, yeah. The buttons were mislined up. So we went, we came back, and then we were introduced to the Mr. Drink. This Mr. Drink was one of the most flavorful, refreshing at the same time drinks I've ever had in my life. The only thing I regret is not taking a picture of how you made that drink. But it had a nice little slice of cucumber.
Starting point is 00:10:33 I'll tell you how cucumber lime and vodka. That's all it was. Really? It was delicious. You sure? No, I had something else in it. The splash of... No, I said no spritz.
Starting point is 00:10:43 Yeah, I said no, no prosceco for me. Oh, it was probably like a little... A little, uh, I don't think it was proscego. It was probably just clubbed soda on top. No, no, no, no, it was a wine spritzer. For sure. Fuck it's, uh, it was he saying the whole night? Bring out the whole ocean.
Starting point is 00:10:57 Bring out the spritzers. Bring out the spritzers. Uh, I, I, I had to do. do a speech, courage had to do a speech, and Fus had to do a speech. When it comes to emotional speeches, I try to keep them super short as to maintain my composure as I'm doing that. So I said, let me go first, because I know that you two long-winded motherfuckers are going to go for a minute.
Starting point is 00:11:22 So what happens? They did go for a minute. They give it to Fis. All right. So he gets up and delivers a beautiful, beautiful heartfelt, beautiful speech. then they give it to Jack he too delivers a beautiful heart filled out of speech
Starting point is 00:11:37 that was my turn let's just say that as I was sitting there reading and scrolling my my hand was shaking yeah how was the first time I ever saw I'm nervous
Starting point is 00:11:49 I'm like I'm embarrassed me at this damn what I had I was thinking I skipped like three three little mini paragraphs for you because I started to get emotional and I was just like well anyway blah blah blah
Starting point is 00:12:01 thank you so much It was good. The best speech of the whole night, I'm giving it to Kevin. Kevin, the following night for the wedding day. Oh, yeah, the following night. The rehearsal dinner was just me, for instance, so, you know, to do the rehearsal as to how things we're going to go down. Shia, of course, delivered a great one. Ellie, his wife also delivered a good.
Starting point is 00:12:20 Anyway, long story short, it was a beautiful wedding. Yeah, at the wedding party, we had a section. But it was. At the party? Yeah, like the, where everyone was dancing and shit. Oh, yeah. We had a sex. It got out of hand.
Starting point is 00:12:34 It was great. It was a crew. This is the thing. We can move on after this after the wedding. So congratulations again to the Mr. and Mrs. Haig. Seth sitting right across from me with the fucking drink in his hand. He's like, you're going out there?
Starting point is 00:12:49 And I'm like, hell no, probably not. He's like, me either. Sorry, me either. I blink. He's on the dance floor. I got one. I got pulled in. I forget who pulled me in,

Starting point is 00:13:27 How was your wedding? You went to a wedding, too? No. I was just in Jersey pool days. Oh. We went to. I had my sister's graduation part. Okay, that's what it was.
Starting point is 00:13:36 That's your thing. So that was good. Had this like a bunch of like family friends and family and friends. And that was good. So she's becoming a nurse now in August, which I told everybody I was like, I would bring your medical needs elsewhere whenever she fucking starts. Go elsewhere. Is that right?
Starting point is 00:13:51 Yeah, you don't want to, you don't want to head over there. But it was good. And then just got some good dinners. As you guys saw, I was eating like a madman. And then, yeah, my grandparents, my pup, who's 15 years old and is still kicking. he's an old he's an old bastard but it was good

Starting point is 00:14:31 Everyone's a vibe in the family. I see where it all trickles that. They're all, they're all lit. They love it. Jack broke his foot in a golfing. I think he's the only person in the history of golf that has broken a bone playing golf. It's impressive work.
Starting point is 00:14:48 It's impressive work, Jackie. All right. Let's get, to the topics, man. We have a couple of talking points here. Seth, have you decided when you're, wedding's going to be? Like, is there a set date so that I can start preparing?
Starting point is 00:15:04 Next year. Somewhere. So maybe December, November? That's for, yeah, private? Sometime next year. Okay, so you haven't, so you haven't. We have a, we have a date, but we've also had multiple dates, so maybe this one will stick. Cool, cool, cool. I don't really know yet. Yeah, I'm, I'm getting prepared. Oh, yes. Yeah. Are you going to invite Zinie? Yeah, I'll throw him one. Let me ask you.
Starting point is 00:15:30 Zinn, did you miss Seth, be honest? What? Did you miss him? No, dude. Be honest. Everyone's got it backwards. I need some time away from him. I did tell him.
Starting point is 00:15:38 I'm like, this whole time I was talking shit about Zin holding your pocket. It seems to me like you were the one holding his pocket. See, dude. Everyone get off of my dick. I'm telling you, man. So one thing happened during the wedding events. I saw them playing. I saw Ninja.
Starting point is 00:15:52 Well, I saw Cloaksie. No, I saw Tim first carrying a big ass switch, a steam deck. And I'm like, what the fuck is? these guys like, I'm like, man, that's OD. Like, I know you guys are gamers at heart. But man, you know who's a fucking gamer gamer, gamer? Ninja. And you would think that somebody who's made that, you know, like he is, he's like one
Starting point is 00:16:12 of those dudes who just loves gaming, period. Doesn't matter how much money he's made. Doesn't matter how successful he's just like still play. He plays video games off stream. I couldn't do that personally. But I saw that they were having fun and I heard that some dude, like we talked about it. some dude unboxed a knife that was $160,000. And I'm like, I'm like, uh, that, I love NFT.
Starting point is 00:16:37 Let me, let me fucking play for some of these. It's not really gaming at that point. This is like, this is gambling. No, he was farming on his laptop, remember? Oh, yeah, when we initially got there he was. Yeah, he was like farming, Final Fantasy. Oh, I didn't see that. The farming simulator?
Starting point is 00:16:51 But the, have you guys seen those, that type of suit? Yeah, of course. The power washing simulator that might, what are people doing? It's actually kind of fun. I never done it, but they're like, I was talking to someone who doesn't do. It's so calming. Want to know how two big dogs in the industry calm in each other. I was like in the middle and then Ninja came and sat down and the Hacks was right there.
Starting point is 00:17:10 And then Ninja asked Hacks like, how's it feel, man? How's it feel to be you? And then Hacks goes, I was wondering the same thing. How's it feel to be you? And then they're just like, not bad. I mean, there's level such. I'm like, how the fuck this feel to be you, but you can't go nowhere. I can still walk through that.
Starting point is 00:17:29 These guys have to fly private to be, you know, that. Me, I can still walk. Say, what's up to my people? You know, it's not overwhelming. Oh, yeah, it might be chaos in the airport with them. For him, 100%. You're kidding me? It's bad enough with the scumper jumper.
Starting point is 00:17:41 Anyway, so I, in that moment, I told Tim, I'm like, I'm going to buy one of those right now so that it's home by the time I get there. Because I want to open up cases. Yeah. And I fucking completely, I don't want to say fell in love. And if you go back. back in time. This is impressive.
Starting point is 00:17:59 What? Like this picture, like in the suit at the wedding, like... Well, look at what cloaks is wearing. So this is at the, this is at the, like, wedding party. This is at the wedding party, the day before the wedding. So this was where the Mr. Drink was. Okay. This was where, yeah, this is where Hector gave his speech.
Starting point is 00:18:16 Mm-hmm. And he's pulling cases. Yeah. And I respect it. I respect it. So I told Seth, I'm like, yo, I'm like, yo, like, where do you buy cases? And we're like, I don't know anything about Counter Strike. And the reason I've stayed away from Counter Strike for as long as I have is because I don't want to get addicted.
Starting point is 00:18:32 But this I can get behind. I understand like all the weapons. And obviously I want an op and shit and all that shit. I want the Op and et cetera, et cetera. So the Dragon lore. I want the Dragon lore. It's 150,000 or 16,000 right now you can get one. I might just get one.
Starting point is 00:18:47 They're pretty expensive. I might just get one and hold on to it. You know, obviously the NFT thing has, you know, has the conversation around it has died. down a little bit because of what happened to a crypto and all that shit. But NFTs and gaming, just go hand in hand. So these people, everybody's unboxing non-fungible digital items and we'll just not call them NFTs going forward. It's been there for so long.
Starting point is 00:19:10 Why is it popular now? Like, it's been there for a minute. CS2 coming out. Yeah, I think it's been popular though. Yeah. But they're doing it. So does it carry over into the next game? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:22 Yeah. And it'll like the quality of the skins will go up because the game's actually going to be like nicer. How do you, so you can sell it for real money, right? Oh, yeah. I saw some stuff where it's like you can't get the money out of steam or like there was something where like people were saying like you can't actually get the money. Is that just false?
Starting point is 00:19:38 So you can definitely sell it and get money? I mean like I sell you and you give me the code. It's as simple as this. Right now I was talking to Seth about this. My Fortnite account, I'm not saying I'm going to do this. I won't do this. I'm going to hold on to it. My Fortnite account has like a lot of OG skins.
Starting point is 00:19:53 Sell the account. You know, the, yeah. so I could just sell them my account. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, it's like you can't bring those items into real life, but it is something that you hold and holds value because other people, like, want it. Yeah, you could have someone send you crypto and you fucking send them.
Starting point is 00:20:09 I got my Apex heirloom. I spent $430 to open cases because it's like... It's not the same. But it's my equivalent. I'm not going to be... I'm not going to spend... How much is the one you got? It's not...
Starting point is 00:20:20 I can't sell it. It's just like a cool thing to have an apex. You can sell your account. So it's like, everybody. likes watching you open packs and then like you get it and it's like this big thing for an hour so what's the big thing everyone's spinning for the what you were talking about the dragon lawyer there no oh yeah it's the the the knives are you know the what are the gym jim uh the jim i mean there's a bunch of different patterns and stuff that sell for a lot yeah and some of them some of them are
Starting point is 00:20:44 like you can sit that they're worn they're worn et cetera i don't get it how does the price get to like 170 000 like who does this rarity who determines how the market it's it's That's crazy, dude. I don't think so. Certain patterns are just more rare, and there's certain patterns, like, there's certain patterns out there that have never been, like, unboxed. Like, there's still shit out there.

Seth, if I put up the cash, can we together do unboxings on your channel, but I'm there with you so that I can benefit because we'll split. the thing but we'll be in your room sure I don't go fuck but we split everything the value everything okay if I put up the money it's 6040 my because it's my money wait we split the value of the cases or the stream no not the stream's yours I'm saying if I'm gonna say we split the value of the cases yeah yeah let's do it all right because if you watch you open like some crazy shit you imagine $100,000 I get the okay it's not a bad day at work 64 6040 okay okay
Starting point is 00:23:53 It's a, but is this not the coolest shit? Because if I could, if I fucking could, Matt, is it, correct me. I'm actually asking you guys watching this who knows he is go better than I. Yeah, Matt, this is the regular, this is the regular, uh, dragon lord. Scroll down. Yeah, this is the one. A souvenir, souvenir. Up, up, up, right there, $417,000.
Starting point is 00:24:16 What? Yes. Wait, if you offer, wait, wait, factory new. Wait, so this guy has it? Yeah. Wait, did someone offer that? Yeah, there's five active offers. Someone offered $4,000.
Starting point is 00:24:26 Not someone, five, five someone. Well, it's not like you just lose your money. You get the item and then, like, that could go up. That could go up, but could go down. But I'm saying, right now, this guy who owns this skin is offered $417K for it. So there's some rich guy that love, so he's just a random guy. No, just think about the amount of people we're buying. You know how fast I press accept on that right there.
Starting point is 00:24:47 I would immediately. And then he goes. No, you would have. Except and it loads up another game. You wouldn't, though. You wouldn't, though. Because you can just get a... Take that shit.
Starting point is 00:24:56 I mean, this guy got paid. I mean, I don't think he just got lucky and grabbed it. You know, obviously... But if you have that offer and you're not accepted, you have paper. Thank you. Yeah. Or you're just holding it on until you're... Until you need it.
Starting point is 00:25:09 What if you have a good job and you're just like, fuck this? Or I'm the guy that owns this. He just loves it. He's like, yes. What I'm trying to get at is that all the people that are bringing... Off that up, buddy. I just, you know, I just, you know, I guess we can hold on on talking about stuff.
Starting point is 00:25:24 But this is like, I'm super psyched about it. Look up cobblestone case, Matt. Cablestone case, Matt. And also, can you track the owners of these, of these ones? Like, let's say. What do I look like? The feds? Let me to hack another database.
Starting point is 00:25:38 No, I'm just saying, is there a ledger, right? Is there a ledger that says this was owned by Simple? Oh, and then cold zero. Because then it goes up in value like crazy. Oh, yeah. I'm holding the same sniper as simple. You use the goat skin. Damn.
Starting point is 00:25:55 Don't get me started. It might be a fucking genius. I'm sorry. I just shit my pants. My apologies. Let the record show you. Everybody covered your fucking. Wow.
Starting point is 00:26:08 This guy cleared the lobby. We were outside. The yard. Outside, it smelled. Outside. Where? She's like, oh, at the airport. Can I tell the story about the airport?
Starting point is 00:26:18 Where? At the airport on the way of the way. there. Oh, that was you that shit your pants at the party? The salmon part? Hold on the way to. No. When the,
Starting point is 00:26:27 when the, when the, no, I didn't do that. When the fan showed up. Did I? Seth. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, you can tell it. All right.
Starting point is 00:26:34 So it's, I'm sitting here. Space. Seth is. All of a sudden I hear. Ew, Sethie. And she's like, and I looked over. He's like,
Starting point is 00:26:45 not five second later. Scump? And I was like, he was getting off the plane and he like, he saw him. And he came like this. Yeah, he got out of home. And I was just like, so he smelled it. Inside I'm like, I wanted to laugh so hard because I'm like, oh my God, I was waiting for the. What am I going to say to him?
Starting point is 00:27:05 I just farted, brother. He's like, dude, you smell like shit. I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, you want to tell everyone scones, I'm like, you want to. I went like this. I'm like, you want a picture with him? And then, and then he got he, you know, he got up. I was like, man, I got to get. I got to get out that green mist.
Starting point is 00:27:22 If he watches this, I'm sorry. Yeah. He didn't know. Yeah, I had no idea that you were getting off the plane. You know, you can't, you can't prepare for this shit. Bro, the funniest, they're saying, ew, Sethi. And then all the time five seconds later, here comes this dude. Oh, man, it was good.
Starting point is 00:27:37 All right, so back to this thing. What is this, Matt? What is, what are going to? Cobblestone cases. Starting at 1,000. 1,300 to 1,000. Okay, so this is what we're going to do. M.G.
Starting point is 00:27:49 Columbus. At least guaranteed, like, something crazy in one of these cases? No. So you can open up a $1,300 case and get nothing. Yes. That would infuriate me. But you could also get a $400,000 dragon war with a 0.64% chance. Point what?
Starting point is 00:28:04 0.64. But there's only so, the reason why it's so rare is because there's only so many of these cobblestone cases that are like in the world. Because I think they would give these out to people that were watching the stream, they're Twitch drops. So you could watch the stream and get one. Yeah. I'm gonna, but listen, let's just say. I would have 18 devices operating. Just like PC.
Starting point is 00:28:26 I'm sure that's what people do that. Mobile, laptop. Yeah, yeah, people do that. I'm texting Roger. 15 different Twitch accounts. Oh, yeah. Every single one of these computers is, I mean, the fact that none of these computers are live during those moments, it's a bad business move starting forward.
Starting point is 00:28:39 Start going forward. What have you walked in after hours? Huh? What have you walked in after hours and he's the only person here in every single fucking computer here are just watching CS? She's like, what's going on? He's like, drops. We're getting cobblestones.
Starting point is 00:28:51 Yeah. Is there something that you have to do? Like if you have drops in ABLE, it's like, all right, we're going to drop something. You just have to accept it once you get it. How long is that life for? There is a period where it can go away. In most cases, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:29:04 It's hexing all the interns. And they're all just walking down the aisles like fucking met and black. Pizzas. We got, you know, fucking slumber party and shit. You're trying to finesse if you had one from a while back. That you just didn't claim one of these things? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:18 I don't know. Well, no, because, again, this is, this is, like, the sort of thing that, that just, like, opens up the eyes of everyone going forward. Because if Counterstrike can do it, why can't Halo? Why can't Apex? Why can, like, I'm not going to say Color Duty because we know why they can't. Because they just hate money for some fucking reason. Anyway.
Starting point is 00:29:42 Hector's going to be addicted. The thing is, is like, I do have a very addicted person, addictive person. personality. So, you know, I just, I just work hard to be able to sustain that. Well, you can open $7.50 cases and then if you get a $16,000 knife, you could open, I mean, do the quick math on that. That's $10 for $100, $100, $100.00 for $1,000. So you could open 1,600 cases in hopes that you get one $16,000 knife. What did I just say? Did I say 1,000 cases? I lost you at cases. Something like that.
Starting point is 00:30:16 That was quick, man. I lost you at you. That's like just very quick map. That's not accurate. You'd get more probably. But you'd have a lot of chances to open something cool. Yeah. So we're doing that.
Starting point is 00:30:28 Sure. All right. All right.

Starting point is 00:31:48 Matt, let's I just see the the future developing right before everybody's eyes and no one feel like no one's fucking going above and beyond to pay attention. Well, this has been going on for a while. Yeah, no, I'm saying. That's the fucking problem. I was explaining e-sports to someone today still.
Starting point is 00:32:09 Can you believe that? I mean, that is not an insult. That is a promise, like a promising growing field. That was the funny part of being home. I'm two for the grad party, talking to my friends and family. Because, like, they were able to grasp the competition, like, competing. Like, hey, I'm a pro-call duty player. I compete for that.
Starting point is 00:32:27 Like, that's easier. And they're like, so now what do you do? I'm like, oh, I create content. Like, what the fuck does that mean? I'm like, well, I stream. And I was like, and we have a watch party. So I was like, think of the Manning Brothers meets, like, free flow comedy. And it's very, like, but just explaining that to, like, my grandparents and, like,
Starting point is 00:32:45 older people was, like, near impossible. So they're like, so people give you money to watch and I'm trying to like explain subscribers. So like it's funny to like it's just so hard to explain that. It's like the older generation because my grandfather's like what the fuck you talking about? Like what do you're talking to grown man? It's crazy. That's why I used to tell my mom, my mom, Pedro's downstairs talking to a stranger.
Starting point is 00:33:09 Like dude's 16, six foot three. You know what I'm saying? My grandma still says it. Anthony, you never know who you're talking to on there? Exactly. I guess I do, grandma. I know. It's a red-headed demon.
Starting point is 00:33:20 I know. Oh, man. I do, I am curious about like where, where these digital items and now AI and like the XQC stream, like those dudes had like, I think he had like, 600 people watching. People were, people were subbing. I mean, it was cool. It's a cool thing to do. I don't like that.
Starting point is 00:33:43 What the AI shit? Yeah, I don't like that. You don't want to have your own AI streaming. for you? They beepies poopoos? Yeah, they were they were subbing to them. You could, when you're not live, have a scump AI and they're subbing.
Starting point is 00:33:53 I like that. Okay, see how easily. Let me see this, let me see this, let me see this. I like that. Altars take Earth flat, bro. Nah man, C. Saman, bro, you're high on copium. It's jabbated nonsense.
Starting point is 00:34:08 Absolute jebadood. Take that flat earth mumbo and slam it in the bin brush. The earth, right? It's like, uh, okay, Hell, that's a weird that I thought it was. Yeah, I know. I'm saying, like, they can't even like... In a giant cosmos, like a rolled-up snorlax rushed down an Overwatch map.
Starting point is 00:34:25 It's scientific. Chat. We got these smart people, top of the top, five-head brainers, dude, rocketing off into space. All right. Is it playing the game for him? It looks that way. And is it speed running?
Starting point is 00:34:42 It's doing the dragon's game. Are you fucking kidding me? Oh my God, look at the X in the top left of that screen right now. Yeah. I didn't see that yet because it's not on mobile, but I've seen screenshots to that and I'm like, dude, there's no this is happening. Nope. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:55 I'm convinced it's like a troll. I'm convinced it's like half true and half not. I don't think the entire platform is going to be X. Do you guys think it's just Twitter's done? Yes. Why? I mean, from what they're saying. This is crazy.
Starting point is 00:35:06 The thing about this, and I usually like to play the role of, I love Elon Musk and everything that he does because it piss his hodge off. and it got like it got to it got to a point in one of these where I told um what did I fuck I replied to Hodge and I'm looking the thing from Hitch because I sent this to to him so that he could see like how many people were getting mad at me for for just like defending someone uh and I wasn't defending I was just trying to piss off Hodge I replied to Hodge about Elon Musk and I'm like Papa can do no wrong he's looking out he's trying to save humanity and you know I was doing that so of course like a bunch of you know the people who
Starting point is 00:35:50 who side or don't side with I don't know I don't want to oh when you were like it's his platform yeah his platform man we're just playing in it like let him do whatever fuck he wants he can whatever so I'm much of people just got fucking super mad him so I'm like oh hector he's like he's like he's like you just suck him off because blah blah blah he's like all he did was get lucky to become like the billionaire that he is and I think there was a little bit more than fucking luck involved in his in his and so and Anyway, this is fucking asinine. I don't give a fuck.
Starting point is 00:36:19 Like, if you have that much. And now, what he is trying to build is an all-encompassing application that will allow for me to send you money, for you to send me money, for me to schedule your appointments and you to schedule your appointments with me for you to put in order. You think he's trying to literally just open everything. Everything. Why, though? Barber. Amazon. Amazon.
Starting point is 00:36:48 All your orders. All your like a direct conversation with the whatever. See, I didn't even know he was trying to. So he wants to make Twitter into that though? Yeah. At that point, why don't you just make a different platform?
Starting point is 00:36:58 Because Twitter is already Twitter and everybody's already there. The conversation is already happening there. I guess. I get that. Right? So imagine it's like, yo, you owe me money.
Starting point is 00:37:08 It's like, do you want to start a new company with fucking, you get a free 500 million people already plus? Bro, it's getting closer and closer to. black mirror. It's just like, this shit right here is black mirror. What he's trying to start watching that.
Starting point is 00:37:19 What he's trying to create is a perfect metaverse for X, X Twitter, where my persona on this digital platform is at hex. So anything, you can find me anytime, you can talk to me anytime, et cetera. It's like if you want money, how are you money, you send me money. Think about cash app, right, funded by Jack, who also founded Twitter. Like if he would have incorporated I mean think about What was the other one?
Starting point is 00:37:47 Vine. If he would incorporate a Vine into Twitter and Cash App into Twitter Now you would have had TikTok, Twitter and CashUp all in one application. Now imagine if you can also incorporate Amazon into that
Starting point is 00:37:59 and now you don't have to order from anywhere you can just order from directly Walmart who's also on that platform way more complex than I'm trying to dumb it down not only for myself but for... It just sounds like a legal shit show though.
Starting point is 00:38:12 It just sounds like Like, if he's trying to get his hand in everything, surely all those companies are to start getting involved. Amazon, like, what the fuck you, like, I feel like once you start, I don't know shit about shit. So I could be talking out of my ass, probably am. All right. But he's trying to like put everything in the same spot. And at that point, you're going to start pissing people off. Then people are going to start, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:38:30 Well, here's a statement. And I don't know who said this. I think Elon, Matt? I think it was the CEO of Twitter. The new CEO of the future, the future state of unlimited in air activity centered in audio, video, messaging. payments, banking, creating global marketplace for ideas, good services, and opportunities. She said on the platform, powered by AIX will connect us, power by AIX will connect us all and we're just the beginning to imagine.
Starting point is 00:38:56 Dude, it's black mirror. He plays too many games and be handling my bank. Saying powered by AI makes me ship myself. Why? Dude, because we don't know the, because right now it's still so. AI means well. AI is here to protect us. I am on the side of AI.
Starting point is 00:39:10 It's in its infancy. AI will never harm me because I like. I also love AI. But it's in its infancy. So it's like right now, sure, AI is dope. You go to chat GPT. I saw, we talked about it a while ago, but like, I think we talked about the podcast where it's like they couldn't figure out the diagnosis for the cat or like a pet.
Starting point is 00:39:29 And then it gave them the blood results. And next thing they found the issue. So right now it's like so new and cool. But like if everything started to be powered by AI, where does that end? Like at what level does it reach? Like it's so, it's so new now that we don't really know. Yeah, it's like the fucking Iron Man movie where, uh... Sensions. It has feelings.
Starting point is 00:39:50 What was that, Iron Man movie? Huh? I think it was the first Iron Man. Or the second Iron Man, you ever? With the, with the villain who was in... With Jarvis? No. Jarvis isn't all of them. Oldron, yeah, Ultron.
Starting point is 00:40:01 It's big, Ultrod's coming soon. That's the Avengers, motherfucker. Not Iron Man. Get your knowledge up. No, well, there's definitely someone's something in Iron Man. Yeah, Jarvis. Ponday. Ponday River. All right.
Starting point is 00:40:13 So apparently we chat in China is already doing this. They have that ability. Powered by Tencent, who also owns, I believe, 40% of Call-A-Duty. It can be like Apple Pay, where I can DM you the dollar sign and the $100. But through Twitter. And then exactly. That's like, that's not too crazy far-fetched because I can send you $100 on my message right now. So that's not too crazy.
Starting point is 00:40:38 Yeah, the thing is this. All right. My issue is that Twitter was a revolutionary application in Web2 that changed the fucking world, right? And it became such an iconic brand of this period of time. And I guess you can say, well, there's a second iteration of that. But to go away with a brand that valuable, to go away with a brand with a logo with a thing that was created and just like make it disappear? I agree. Look at Instagram and threads.
Starting point is 00:41:11 Look at how many sign-ups threads got. I don't think threads, I haven't been on it since like the second day. Me either. But it still got the influx of like, it was popping. So people, I would think the same thing would happen with Twitter.
Starting point is 00:41:22 Let's say you keep Twitter and then he makes X and X is this one thing. You would still have like this insane amount of sign-ups and crossover just because everybody who's active on Twitter is going to go sign up. Who cares if accounts from 2011 that haven't logged in are now on X? You know what I mean? Like you want like the fucking active, active users. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:39 So I look at it like that. Like I feel like he could have done something easily like that where just you connect them like threads and Instagram and get traction that way. But that guy knows a lot more than I do. So who might have, who might have judged what he's doing? I think people forget how smart that guy is because he's like the biggest troll ever. That guy is like a full-blown genius. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:58 So people just like. Sure. I agree with you. I don't want to. You don't know if he's a genius? Is that controversial? What? I mean, I think everything is controversial these days, bro.
Starting point is 00:42:08 You talk about this fucking water bottle. The thing is, like, if you say this person is smart and this person at one point sucker punched someone, then you're supporting the sucker punch, the action up. And I'm not simplifying it to the point to where you're going to put words in my mouth. I'm not saying that. Please save yourself. Look at how we have to talk these days, bro. You can't say anything.
Starting point is 00:42:31 Listen. Who was that? Matt. Come on. Is that you, Matt? Dude, that's the second time it rang And the fact that you haven't muted it Since you pull it out of your pocket
Starting point is 00:42:42 It's crazy, man So crazy Grecian, man Who is it? Pick it up How about this? From here and out, if the phone rings, you got to pick it out of the pocket
Starting point is 00:42:50 On speaker too On speaker too Listen, I I don't know if I really like X I like Twitter No, I don't like it I like Twitter too I don't like change I like Twitter
Starting point is 00:43:01 It's just an iconic brand That needs I mean I understand what he's trying to go for. I get it. I understand. I hope he accomplishes it. Whether he's the right person or not right, doesn't fucking matter to me. This is a utility that everybody's going to use and that it's going to make
Starting point is 00:43:16 the ease of life a little bit better. But to change the name of an iconic brand like that is crazy. Speaking of other iconic brands, what were you going to say? I was going to say, I know who he needs. He hit him up already. Who? Fuzzy F. Baby. He needs.
Starting point is 00:43:30 He needs Fizzy F. Baby. Please say the babe. Whiz was on one. entire weekend, right? He's so funny. Yeah, he's definitely a good one. Speaking of other iconic brands, Face Clan reportedly listening to two acquisition offers. Matt, click on that shit. I did see this. Damn. People are saying that you should, but I should do it. You should buy Faze. And then buy you buy it. They met me by it. By us, by you and me? No, with my own money. Your money. Yeah. Well, I don't see you what's wrong with that.
Starting point is 00:44:06 The thing is this, the way that I would view this. And who was it, complexity and who else? It was enthusiast, the owners of luminosity, right? Yeah, I think LG. What do you think that means, right? If you own e-sports teams already and you're going to buy another esports team, what does I say about the brand that you have? Well, it doesn't make sense because at that point you have to do one of two things.
Starting point is 00:44:32 You either operate two brands, which you know more than me, but this is why I think about it. Or you have to operate two brands or you have to put everything under one umbrella. So then you have to get rid of LG or you get rid of phase, which obviously if you're buying phase, you have to keep the phase. It makes zero sense to buy phase and then rebrand phase. So essentially everything under you would turn in the phase. And then let's say enthusiast buys them. They already have Seattle Surge.
Starting point is 00:44:54 And then a phase has Atlanta phase. So now it's conflicting. Like it just makes no sense. My thought on this is like, why? Like if what sort of confidence level do you have in? your esports properties, when you're out loud saying to not just your investors, but to your fan base that is like, yeah, we're going to get a better brand. It could be a merger, no?
Starting point is 00:45:19 Because I do think of Faze is looking for like, I feel like Faze could more than most brands easily get someone to merge with them. Like I feel like that's a good opportunity for a lot of brands that maybe have money that aren't that big to really get like an influx of viewership because it's like phase has the brand. And so like more so than a lot of teams, they actually, merging with phase makes sense because at the very least, you get a lot of eyes on you. And that's what people are looking for, is eyes to sell sponsors.
Starting point is 00:45:44 Yeah, look, I think I have conflicting opinions on this because I'm friends with the OGs and I'm, you know, I'm friendly with some of the new school guys, right? I think that they have their role to play. But I doubt any of the OGs are coming with this. Oh, at that point, it's not valuable at all. Actually, should I say that? That's fucking awful. You can say what if you want, baby.
Starting point is 00:46:06 That's awful to say. Fage without the OGs. That's like optic without you. It doesn't make sense. Well, yeah, I was going to ask. What happens to the OGs then? Do they just, they're just out? Can you imagine buying optic?
Starting point is 00:46:18 Sorry, no heck's no scump. You have methods and Bose. Say what? We're no longer just. Yeah, he's not going with either. You just got methods. Sorry, I was making a joke. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:46:28 He just disrespected you. I was fucking. I was making a joke about. You guys are assholes. right, right? He's not going with. He's going where I'm going. You guys are piece of the shit.
Starting point is 00:46:37 Yeah. But yeah, look, I, again, I just, I just, I understand. I understand what that, what, what, what they're trying to do, but let's, let's be real, man, you know. I mean, how much, how much if, if they were to go in and buy it, does, does, does, does, does, does, does, does, does, does, phase set, phase sets, phase sets that price, obviously. Apparently, apparently $60 million will get the deal done, man. Or does that what this report said? Does the public share, like, does the public shareholders, does their, basically their market cap set the price? Right here.
Starting point is 00:47:05 It says earlier this year, sports business journal reported that FACE were considering a restructuring that would take the company private. See, if earlier this year that we're planning on taking the company private, then this one makes no sense because both of the, what's the name of the Game Square and enthusiasts are both publicly traded companies? Wait, so question, if there's public shares out there and it gets retaken to private, what happens to the people that hold public shares? They just automatically get sold at whatever price they go private at? That would be insane. I mean, 38 cents. Christ. Christ.
Starting point is 00:47:45 They were once $20. Yeah, that's fucking, it's kind of insane. I'll say it again, man. I'll say it again and I'll say it again from here and out. I mean, the problem with phase is not a brand power. It's not an eyeballs power. It's not a esports position in the space power problem. It's a business problem.
Starting point is 00:48:08 Somebody on the business side wasn't able to figure out what to do and overspending as it happens in e-sports happen there. But there's nothing wrong with the brand of phase. If the OGs are there, then the brand. going to be fine. So something needs to be figured out. Because they made $70 million. According to this, they made $70 million last year, but are losing how much, Matt? I think it was said $532 million.
Starting point is 00:48:37 That's a lot of money to lose. Reporting a net loss, 53. $53. Dude, if it was a half a billion, I would have fucking yak. I don't know if it was half a billion dollars. Reportedly. So like, despite a record $70 million in revenue, right? So they made 70 and lost 53 on top of that.
Starting point is 00:48:55 So $123 million was spent. Wait, so. $123 million. Hmm? Well, revenue, that that's not taking into like all their cost to operate, right? They lost, loss of 53 mil. But so that would mean they were profitable $17 million in ours? No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:49:14 If they made $70 in revenue, but they. They made $70, spent that, and then they lost $53.2. Oh, like they raised 70? No. They made 70 million. Yeah. But they lost, I get what you were saying. You see what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:49:29 You're just attracting the 53. Yeah, yeah. This is, it might be confusing, but from what I am reading into. So it just overall ended to a negative 53.2 million. However the fuck it got there. Right? That's what I think. Listen, listen, I, 123.2 million dollars was spent last year.
Starting point is 00:49:48 So yeah, negative 53.2.2. I mean, that's not, that's a lot of money. And that's, that's up from 2021's $36.9 million loss. What's what they doing. So look, the fact of the matter is, is that change is fucking coming. In e-sports. To them specifically. And you have to, you have to take into account again, it's phase.
Starting point is 00:50:16 Views are there, which means the sponsorships, I mean, I don't, obviously, whoever wants to sponsor them for those views, then the money could be there, is what I'm saying. Well, that's what's terrifying, though. It's because, like, they are a phase, and then if you're outside looking to get involved in e-sports and gaming and you see this shit, you're like, what the hell? Like, this is one of the biggest...
Starting point is 00:50:37 If not the biggest. Could be the biggest most followed stream, whatever. So now all these, like, VCs or tech, like, whatever, if you're outside e-sports and you're seeing this, you're like, hold on, what's going on in there? And for everyone in e-sports, we wanted to see them do well. Yeah. Because if they did well, then it's like, oh, now some other companies can start rolling out and going public.
Starting point is 00:51:00 Now companies see that and it's like, whoa. We will stay private. Well, they were part of us. They were part of the SPAC. It wasn't them going public on their own accord. What's a SPAC? A special purpose acquisition company. So who took them public?
Starting point is 00:51:16 I don't know. Some fund or something. Oh, okay. I didn't look too much into it. But, I mean, it may reportedly slash 40% of its workforce. See, this is the thing. People see that as like a reflection on the company. That's wrong.
Starting point is 00:51:33 That's not a reflection on the brand and its power. This is a reflection on bad business, period. Like, they overhired. There's no, like, that's irresponsible approach. when there's a lot of money people are just like let's fucking spend it not me not us not you wouldn't be us not me not you I will hold it anyway so again I mean I just there's no end in sight for this fucking storyline that's the fucking problem because they're gonna get delisted because they were under a dollar
Starting point is 00:52:06 for 30 days straight I think it's been longer than that I've been kind of keeping an eye on it that works if you're under a dollar for 30 days they take you off anymore yeah really well you don't you they just put you in like like you're not on the NASDAQ or like, you know, like the, you're, you're just in like penny stocks, right? I think so. You're delisted from, from, uh, from the big, uh, so man, let's, let's, uh, let's wrap this one up, man. I, I, I don't, I don't know what, what, what, you know what, I'm not going to speak on anything because I don't want to fuck up anybody's deal, but I also, I just, people, people, people with money
Starting point is 00:52:43 don't do any fucking research haven't done any research and they're just throwing money at fucking everything that has e-sports on it teams that never let's talk about real quick nominated for the

Starting point is 00:53:28 That's disrespect. 17 days? No, I played all the way through split one. So that was months leading up when the game dropped. When was the last time my brother from a love this due to death represented optic to the fullest love him would have a call whenever you're ready, Tariq, we're here for you,

Starting point is 00:54:02 Oh, then. Competitive streamer. The free dub then. Is typical gamer a pro? No, he's a creator, right? He's fat pockets. He's fat pockets. We're hoisting a trophy. Huh?
Starting point is 00:54:14 You're gonna be hoisting that trophy up. It's Timmy, it's Timmy just qualified. I don't think so. I don't think you will. Yeah, I don't think I'll. I know he just qualified, but. Did you go last year? Shit's rigged, bro.
Starting point is 00:54:24 Are you going to go this year? Let me not say that. I went. Fuck, man, I'm never getting nominated. Yeah, look, I think this is cool. Are you going to go if I went? Do you know if you win in advance? No, you never know.
Starting point is 00:54:38 You're going to have to go. Where is it? at? I think you should go to things like this. Are you going to go with him? He's not going by himself and I'm not going. Where's it at? I'm down a party always. I got to pull out a suit again, man. Yeah. Yeah, but I'd be there, all of us suited out. You and the peekie blinders cap. Let's do it. That's a fucking good look, by the way. All right, we're good, man. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:54:59 Congrats. Ophenheimer. I'll vote for you. Nice, man. Yo, the amount of people that were in my, after last week's... I heard Oppenheimer gets that that slop andheimer in the movie. Is that true? What the fuck is that, yeah? I don't I don't want to hear about that. I don't want to hear anything about it, but what the fuck's the slap? He gets that schloppy toppy. There's a sexy, it's what he said.
Starting point is 00:55:18 Got it. Okay, cool. But it's not fit. He don't want to hear about it. I don't want to see it. We got to see it in theaters. On true one. I'm going to see it again. I didn't see it in IMAX,
Starting point is 00:55:27 which is where you're supposed to see it. You already saw it? Yeah. I saw it. Yeah. I saw it. I think there's something is. I don't know if it's quality or sound.
Starting point is 00:55:33 I want to see Mission Impossible. Same. Same. I think it's everything. I think it's everything. Really? It's just like different. They shoot it in like a different, basically resolution.
Starting point is 00:55:42 Yeah. Oh, really? Yo, how good was it? Don't tell me anything about it. I don't want to hear it was too long. It was black and white. Just tell me your opinion how good it was. I think it was good.
Starting point is 00:55:52 I think a lot of people are saying like top three known films. I don't agree with that personally. It was. Oh, I know I'm going to love it then. They told the story very well. The acting, of course, was great. Like, the score was great. It's just for what it is, I don't have it in my top three.
Starting point is 00:56:06 I mean, it's a Nolan movie with some of the best Murphy and Downey Jr. I cannot wait. It was really good. But what I was going to say, the amount of people after last week's podcast, that were my fucking Twitter, talking shit about me not wanting to see fucking Barbie was insane. What if, did I say something that was offensive when I say, I don't want to go see this fucking movie? I don't watch any single scary movie. How come nobody gives me shit for that?
Starting point is 00:56:32 People gave me shit about Barbie. You don't watch any scary movies? Not a single one. Fuck that. Barbie. Shit puts bad dogs. I watch thrillers. I think Barbie doubled the box office of Oppenheimer.
Starting point is 00:56:42 Sure. But that kind of makes sense. That was guaranteed. It's fucking Barbie, yeah. Mario Robbie Gosling. There's kids going to see that. I also think Barbie just appeals to a much larger audience than Ophanercercer. Once the kids are involved, they win.
Starting point is 00:56:53 Yeah. It's just I never, I'm not Seth. I never played with Barbies. What's crazy is I'm at the movie theater. Wait, can ask you a question? Where did you get the Barbies? You have no sisters. That's fucking sickening.
Starting point is 00:57:04 They were bought for you. There's no other way around it. Who were they bought for? You don't have any sisters. I wasn't at my house. It was at someone's house. Oh, you snuck into someone's house? You'd steal their Barbies and go out to the bed.
Starting point is 00:57:22 You're fucking sick. He's up. Act, he was like, That's seconding. You want to know something? It was Jude that asked him like, where did he get Barbies? He doesn't have any sisters. It's not as they say.
Starting point is 00:57:35 Oh, way. No, but the Barbie craze is nuts. I can't wait to ask. Because I went to the, I went to see Oppenheimer, and the entire theater, like, getting popcorn is just filled with girls and pink dresses. It's like, it was like a, it was like a must see, it was like a must-do thing. Where it wasn't, it was, it was more than a movie. No, but not the both. It was just like, it was the act, and they're all taking pictures in their pink dresses.
Starting point is 00:57:59 It was like a, just like a trend. So like, no other dresses. Go on to see you. It was more than just a movie. I wore Jordans to go see Air. It's different, man. And you probably had a... They're saying about you, buddy.
Starting point is 00:58:10 It's about Barbie. Yeah, buddy. You're going to wear a pink dress? I'm not going to go see Barbie. You should have saw me like either. And I want to let the record show again. Large popcorn. If you buy Barbie...
Starting point is 00:58:19 Peanut Eminet. I'm going to. So, already be mad. Do you want his login? He's off. Bro, what are you talking about? Live and Jude aren't going to watch Barbie? They have their own iTunes account.
Starting point is 00:58:30 Give them that one because I'm buying it. I'm going to give you that one. Or give me theirs. Hell yeah. All you're going to see is. Oh, you love Disney movies anyway. Fucking love him. What's up with this?

Starting point is 00:59:27 He was saying that like, he said we offered more money than Faze did and he chose Faze. He was just. Oh, okay. He was... Every time I see that, I just want to be like this. Wait,
