First off, he's a fucking nuthead for saying this and doing this because I'd be doing it. He got offered $400,000 to play Arc Raiders for four hours a couple weeks ago, and he turned it down. 400K? I said, I'll do it for, I said, I'll play eight hours. I'll double it up just for, 400K for four hours.

He said, no, he said, I don't want to play Arc Raiders that bad, and I'm so blessed to be in the position I am that I'm not going to play. That's insane. It beats me. I would have put that fake smile on boy for four-h. Oh, man. I mean, because he's probably talking so much. It wouldn't even be fake because I liked our creators like shit. Stream snite me.

Fuck it. If I get hacked on a couple times, it ain't no, bro. It ain't nothing. It's all right. You fucking hacked on you. Damn. It's going to suck. I lost my in-game kit, but the real-life kit going to be nice.

Real-life kit going to be nice. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Optic Podcast episode 295. Here, fly from. Frisco, we got Money Biscuit, we got Zinny, we got the skumper jumper to my left, and we welcome everybody, man. It's fucking... It's a sad day.

Wait, why? Because of the Halo News? Nah, because of Jackson Dart. Jackson Dart. What happened to Jackson Dart? It's a sad day for the Giants fan base. He went down, holding his knee. Luckily, just like a sprained MCL, they think, but...

What's that with Caleb Williams, though? That was insane. Yo, was he playing soccer out there? Bro. It must have hurt really bad. Dude. Stop. No, it didn't.

Bro. There's nothing wrong. No, you're a professional athlete. It had to have hurt bad enough for him to think his season could be over. I think he got scared. I think so, too. Yeah, he was taking my season might be older. I think he just got like nervous.

Like, there was actually nothing wrong. No, no, no, no. Wait, I got to see the clip then. No, literally. You didn't see the clip? No. Of him on the golf cart? Uh-uh.

Oh, well, I saw the, I saw all the memes and shit. When I got to leave work with a headache early? Yeah, I saw all that shit. I saw this and I'm like, no way. Right here, when he tried to get up, he's like, no, no, no, to be fair, it was a no contact injury, which is terrifying. Usually that could be an ACL.

So he's probably thinking, I would see, if you would have gone out like this, fine. Don't take your, don't take, no. No. Come on. You should have gotten out shrouded, dude. I swear, I'm not judging them. The only thing, I'm like, girl, I see that.

Come on, bro. There has to be something wrong. Yeah, it's called LeBron Jamesitis. I think he just got scared. He got clipped up. He fell weird. He's probably like, Yeah, my season's over after I just had a fucking incredible game the night before.

Do you guys have NFL Twitter like on your For You page? Oh, yeah. It is, it is the best. I didn't see the injury. All I saw was this shit. Riley, go to my, go to my page real quick. And look at what I quote tweeted. Oh, God.

Activision will make A-Lo moving forward. Okay, listen. I want to make this clear because I laughed at this and I was fucking mad this morning. Bro. You're going to see some crazy shielding. Rwriters, go to my page real quick. And then just look what I quote tweeted. You're going to see a sloth with a bong running around.

Just scroll. It's, I quote tweeted. It said Jameson Williams in 2026. Keep going. Holy- Right here, right here. Fuck, you tweet a lot. Look at that.

I got four million views. That was funny. NFL Twitter is my favorite thing ever. The injuries have been crazy, though. That's funny. I feel like every star is getting injured. You have Caleb, Jake. Jackson Dart.

Okay. You said Star. You said Stars. Okay. QB1 for the Giants. Caleb Williams Star. Paler Mary. Pook and the Cool was on a sign line yesterday.

Miles Garrett's out. Okay, that's a star. There's Poohm. There's one. Sequin was banged up. There's another. There's a lot of injuries. This is good.

Wait, Caleb telling Jackson Dart, he knows how I feel? Yeah. Did Jackson Dart get really fucked up or what? I think it just Brained It looked It wasn't a It was a contact injury

And his foot wasn't planted Yeah And his foot wasn't planted. Jadens was Jadens looked like gruesome You know what's crazy As that bro

Like he looks like a fucking Beast right there Look at those Bro, he looks as well He's 100% of tank But Yeah tanks don't get brought down

He looks like he's like From the 80s That guy He looks like he should be in like NWA Yes You know what I'm saying That guy is so

fun and watch. Where we are? Where we are? I mean, oh wait, let me, can you go back? It's just when it goes both ways, man. God damn. Did he go both way? No, but he got, no, but he got lucky because his foot wasn't planted on the ground. Barely, right? So if his foot was planted, that could have been way worse. Right now is funny. I know you were watching the broadcast because that's what they said on the broadcast. What? That if his foot, I was doing a while, I was, I was streaming. I was doing like a watchalong. I've been trying to do like, oh, really? Wait, you didn't actually watch? No, I was watching.

I was doing, I was streaming a lot. Could you hear it though? Yeah, because I was streamed. I hear it, the stream can't. Yeah, I was streaming me watching it. Because I was going to say, if you didn't hear the broadcasts and said that. Oh, I saw it now. Luckily I had like a lot of chat doctors.

Okay, yeah, that's fucking. Oh, oh, look at his hamstring. Look at his hamstring. Look at his ham. Up a little bit? Right? Look at the, yeah. Not to the right.

Why are you looking at his butt cheeks, man? I was looking at his literal hamstring. Amstring that's Oh yeah. I got to say. I have butt cheeks. Okay, never mind. I'm looking at his butt cheeks.

That one was pretty bad too. I, on TV it was hard to, it's hard to see it because they only play it like once or twice and it's kind of quick. That is fucked up. Oh.

That, that, that, that, I'd put that on par with Jadens. Dude, that was, because I thought that game would have been unreal, dude. Stafford threw a pig. There was a fumble that we were covered

in like the 10-yard line. The worst play calling I've seen in my life. First off, James is the worst play I've ever seen in my entire life. You got James. He's vibey. No, but he's viby, but like, what happened to his arm?

He's underthrowing people by three feet. He's throwing hospital balls to Malik. I don't know what that was. And then the play called to hand it off to Najee Harris on third down, down 11 points. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, what am I looking at? Put scat in the game. Whatever it is you're looking at, it's making you very knowledgeable about the game of football.

They're all falling. You've got to keep at least someone healthy. No. Scat. You weren't winning that game. Yeah, I mean, very yes. Stafford was throwing dime piece. Devante Adams was just insane.

Devante rolled back the cloth ten years. The funniest part is we didn't have a QB3 in the depth chart. So Braxton Barrios was the emergency third string quarterback in case James went down. Barrios? Yeah. What is he? Where's he from? I think he's from Jersey. Or no.

I don't know if he's from Jersey. Does he play defense or does he just kick return? Or does he play offense? I think he's just the kick returner. Oh, Braxton. What the fuck, dude? Where is he from? He would have got laid flat.

Dude, I'm going to tell you something. If I was a fit, dude. By you? No, he would have got crushed up there. He's from Raleigh, okay. In what sense? The Rams would have broke him down. Oh, is a quarterback?

Oh, Barry. He would have tried to crunch him. Oh, bro, I mean, his D-Line's not even blocking it. They're taking the night off. They're like, ah. Where I was going, if I had zero percent body fat. Just go three now, bro. Let's get this over.

Ew. Oh, I'm working on it. I would be posing across this desk. like this with a fig leave, a big, well, like, Monstera plant leave for some. The games kind of suck this weekend. Besides the Colts Chiefs game, I feel like every game was kind of shit. I didn't watch a single one. We turned it off early.

I watched some of the bears, but I'm like, ah, fuck. Yeah, let's talk about Jalen hurts. Hey, the first three quarters don't count to Jalen, bro. Yeah, but still a little too close for comfort versus the Titans, you don't think, for the Eagles? Oh, yeah, for sure. I think he likes it. No, I didn't like it at all. No, him, Jalen.

He likes to wait. Well, I thought we were going to come into this game and blow them out. But in Eagles fashion, I mean, we cannot win a game. We can't have a game that's not a one possession score. It's just every game is tight. In fairness. Every game. In fairness to Jalen and the Eagles, they were playing the Titans.

The Mighty Mighty Titans, Who We are, the Mighty Mighty Titans. Strongside. Great movie. Oh, yeah. Dallas got her turd too. so he's out for what a couple weeks a few weeks well yeah godd it was hurt Sequin didn't play at all

I don't know how hurt he is I didn't read but Seacquan didn't I think he played two snaps the whole game all at all better days ahead or two runs in the old game yeah there's a better days ahead dot comely

Giants are fucked He's got a boxing square fit looks great without dart there's no chance Giants fucked yeah and to be fair once again we were just running the ball

into Aaron Donald every play I mean I didn't understand Washington's fucked too too. It's back to Eagles Cowboys. Both those teams are just, they're beat. Both their quarterbacks are gone. The Cowboys are lost, man. Once your teammate, your pickleball teammate left,

they have zero defense. My man, Dak is not performing at his utmost. No, Dax looks good. It's actually crazy. They got to put up like 40 a game to win. How is their defense? Listen, I'm not. I'm a Cowboys hater, but Dack is not the problem.

No, y'all would have been good this year if you didn't get hurt. Oh, yeah. No, no. You guys look good. the Cowboys played us, their defense? I was like, oh, terrible. Terrible. I don't get it. I do.

Yo, real quick, congrats to our boy Kenny on the marriage. Congratulations, Ken. Was that the wedding? Grats, Ken. Awesome. Awesome time with me and James. James posted some picks of us. I actually saw a couple picks and I was okay.

Looking good? Stairmaster time. It's time to get back to it. The camera adds 10, bro. You know this. Well, guess what? It's time for the stairs. It added 20.

It's tight. It added to about 30. They fucked it up. Yes, yes. Must have been some terrible photos or something. But now, uh, awesome wedding.

They look great. I mean, fuck, man, that's a good fucking fit. Look at his shoes, man. He fucking snapped with that get.

Hell yeah. Congratulations. We were getting Intel at the wedding. Joe Deceives is there. Drozza. Shane. I'm getting the whole scoop. I'm figuring out what's happening.

I don't want to hear anything. I want to be surprised. It's like those NFL weddings. You see. It's like, you see everywhere. J. Herce's there.

What the hell is. Like, what are those stars talking about behind closed doors? You know, what's the car? Huh?

You think they have the same conversation? It's like, oh, her fucking puka's going to create. I don't know. Yeah?

100%. I mean, I believe it. You guys couldn't stop talking about Call of Duty the whole fucking weekend every single time you guys competed. Bro, their whole life is football.

What's that? Don't put that on the fucking podcast. They talk shit. They, you know, I want to think about this. Maybe I'm tripping. But yesterday in the broadcast, they showed Miles Garrett in like a suite

like talking to people. and I'm like, shouldn't he be on a field with his team? He was with his mom, I think. Was he? Was he playing? No, he's hurt, but like I still feel like you should always be in the sideline with your team. I agree with you, but like when you're him, he can, he got. No, I get it, but I also hate that.

Like, oh, I'm Miles Garrett. I guarantee you. I feel like it's like he's like a leader for the defense. What is he hurt? He's out for. If his arm? No, what's his arm, his leg, what is it? His arm, his leg, what is it?

but I honestly don't even know. I agree with you. If he's walking up upstairs, okay, not, sit your eyes like. This is, no, he was standing. Say it again, say it again.

Say it again. He could be up there chilling for a little bit. He's on IR, what is that? Minimum five weeks? No, I know, but how many weeks are you guaranteed out? I think it's four.

I think it's four, yeah. Dude, I know what IR is. No, I does this is. Yo, listen, I bet you he just went up there out of like, he had to go say what's up. He didn't want.

He didn't want to leave your team. What if they caught him within the 10 minutes? he went up there. Yeah, that too, right? And he had to go meet a sponsor or he had to me, like whatever. His mom says up there. He's a brew in his hand? Yeah, yeah, of course.

They'll get you. And what's wrong with the brew in your hand? You know what I'm saying? Mid game now? Mid game, he's not playing. Yeah, he can't play. Yeah, he can't play. He's got a fucking, dude, come on.

You can't enjoy yourself. It's not his fault. He'd rather be out there playing. So he's got to do the second best. But I do get, if he's up there for 10 minutes, whatever, I'm sure he came back down to the side. Dude, that defense, when he's is going to be a fucking joke.

Aaron Donald, Miles Garrett, that is insane. I don't know. Who was it? Was it Trent Williams that locked him down? Big time? Yeah, but then apparently he was hurt. Right? Yeah, Trent Williams.

Week one? Trent Williams is old, though, too. But he was locking him down. And it was in Australia. They weren't trying, bro. Stafford was not trying. No, they were trying. They were probably just...

Stafford was not trying out. Wait, time out. Because last night he was throwing dime. Wait. Yeah. He looked shaky first. half. He was throwing, he was hitting Devante, but DeVante had 200. Why did they start playing the games overseas,

like a random game? I didn't hit that. To a spend, like this. Eventually, they're probably going to have a team like outside the U.S. I guarantee it. That's what they're trying to do. Mexico's for sure getting an NFL team and NBA team. I feel like Australia is too far. I don't know about baseball, but Mexico is definitely. Australia is too far. I think, I agree. I think the max that they should be playing at is like London. Ireland.

Yeah, yeah. Like, that jet lag is at least a little better than going to Australia. Anything past Western Europe? Too far. I'm sure they're even like, oh, Jesus. Well, to be fair, the Rams did shoot themselves in the foot. You can't go there the day before and expect them. They thought they were going to beat jet lag.

Yeah, you can't do that. I don't care if you're professional athletes. Jet lag is jet lag. Because all you got to do is wake up at three in the morning. You are fun. I know how I feel day one going to London. Day one going to Australia? you are fucking

because you land and it's what I don't care if they got fucking masseuses rubbing them down before up in there I don't give a fun How do you guys feel like if you fly to Philly or you fly to Chicago? You still feel a little like No no no no no no

Perfectly fine It's literally like five hours plus when you Like if you leave If you get up at 5 a.m. To get on a plane at 6 from Miami And then you're going to Seattle? I'm feeling that. I'm feeling that Yeah to Seattle

You're feeling that To be fair, their travel is a lot different from the fucking... Okay, yeah, I'm gonna tell you why. I mean, they probably... No, no, no, no. You got to think about they're seven feet tall. I don't care. You have problems sitting back there.

That's what he was saying, by the way. It's like everyone's way too big to be like in a little ass seat that can't... A thousand percent. They're fucking up their legs. A thousand percent. You know what I'm saying? I don't know. That makes sense.

A thousand percent. That's why my man, Neil Lieman, was flying the Rangers in his own private... If I'm a private job, I fly all you are in my private jail. Oh, yeah. What's you waiting for? And I, and I, what you put up? Oh, yeah. Consumverial Australia, flight plan was two years in the making.

Holy fuck. They said they had like sleep doctors and shit. Wait, so who won this? The Niners destroyed them. Okay, it's okay. And they did get destroyed, right? Yeah, they got destroyed. It's called sleep.

Yeah, they tracked their body. Here's the difference between these staffers that they sent. They didn't go there and play football. They went there and went to a coffee shop and hopped on a laptop. These guys went there and played football. Yeah. It's a very different. I'm sure that's a very different thing.

Yo, when people work from like a coffee shop and they're on their platforms, are they sending emails? I don't know what they're doing, but it's got to be. I always wonder that. I go in my building sometimes. They have a vending machine on the seventh floor. I go down there and there's one person in a big-ass conference room just typing away. And I'm like, I do wonder what they're doing. Like, is it just a vibe?

What's you have to? No, I don't turn around and look out the window. It's not performative. No, there has to be an audience, right? Maybe change the scenery. Yeah. But like if you can do it from your laptop. Like James is someone I can see going to coffee shop on a laptop.

I'd be at the crib. That's what I'm thinking. I'd just be on the balcony. I'd be at the crib tabbing out mid-game. Like, what's up? Yeah, I think it's performative. Sometimes I walk into the production room and I'm like, it's performance. Yeah.

As soon as you walk in, oh. Yeah. Roger's still here working Yeah, right Yeah, literally tab in As someone walks in Yeah, I'm not a firm believer I mean, I'll literally

The work is gonna show in the end Right? Like, you know what I'm saying? See, I just don't have like the I just have severe ADHD So if I tried to sit into a coffee shop Of my laptop I got like 10 minutes before I need to get up

And start walking in circles Do you think that ADHD is now Becoming also performative I don't know Do you think too many I believe I think so I think people are like

Oh dude my I mean They've been trying to medicate me My whole life I said never that motherfuckers Amen brother I'm out of here

I'm out of here Is that what you said I try to do a couple times Bad bad bad I know I know that I cannot take that Because I would literally Work my

Life to death If I'm that good If I can access All parts of the region It affects people differently though Yeah Yeah

Exactly. Oh, that makes sense. So for science, you're saying that I should try it. I've never had a, never in my life had a one. I don't know. I'm trying it at 40. What are you 48? Dude. God damn. I kind of want to spectate you try it. Same. What if it puts them to sleep? In the name of science? No way. Sleep? What was this? He'll be up for two days.

You think so? No way, I can. I can't. Dude, if I can. He'd hit the pine, it'd be over. That's true. This is to this day, probably one of the best laughs I've had. Watching this guy play Call of Duty is my home. This is Little John. Call of Duty Vanguard. I mean, bro, he'll just look at him.

You know, somebody won a fucking Warriors. He was a Worson in there. This is literally, this is Cod's target market, though. Like, motherfuckers that are shooting like this. He's looking at the outside of the map. Well, Khan, I don't know we got in this office. It's a humble startup, man. It's a humble startup, dude.

Can't even play a damn YouTube video? Did he ever get a kill and go, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yo, he's looking outside. No, that's his team. Oh, my God. Bro, look at him too.

He's locked. This is locked. This is him locked in. Oh, dude, he's shooting his teammates? What the fuck? Literally how my dad would play call duty. Meek Mills shit is funny, too. Yeah, see, not, and then you look up Natamontana, Natalcano?

Look up, Natalana delano, dude. Look up right. Who? Not this the fucking I don't want to say the Drake of because he's cool

but he's big in Mexico in all of Latin Spanish He was an artist Yeah, Natta Natanael Cano typed that

And then Call of Duty Wait, he's a new singer No, he's not a new singer He's the guy that That put on fucking Pesso Pluma

He put on all of them Oh, did he? Yeah Oh, he's cracked? I can't see shit right now Is he live right now? Yeah No, that's not him

That's not him, Riley What do you mean? It says, is this clickbait? Listen, the guy playing is not him. Oh, he's cheating. So he's just, it's a screen grab. Oh, yeah. Right there, that one.

Fire range, fire range, fire in range, fire in range, fire in range. Up above view, right there. I don't think that's it actually. That's not, what? Go right there. Let's look at it. This has to be him. Just go towards the most played.

That's him, right? Yeah, that's definitely him. This is a, I mean, just watch him. Oh, he's cheating. who yeah those were decent shots I thought you were saying he was like a little John

no he's better this is a call of duty player this is fucking not this a call of duty player he has a call of duty team called CT gaming Corridos stumbados by the way is the genre Of music

yeah Cool, thanks Riley We're good Yeah, he looks He's solid He's someone that you can win a game with Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean he's like

He probably wins this one There was some some highlights of him Look at him, he's paying With the sniper too I was it what the fuck Yeah, no, he's playing the gas I mean he knows what's going on Yeah, yeah, yeah

We can go, Riley I don't know I've never seen this video before But anyway, unlike literally John, this guy knows how to fucking play college duty Okay In fact

This is how out of touch the world of advertising is Call of Duty hired Pesso Pluma to be in the game I think and to promote the game and all that shit when they literally had

same size or bigger the guy that brought him up who actually plays Call Duty with a bigger following for fucks God damn it they would just open their eyes this game would be a fucking at the top of the fucking mountain you guys want to recap Rostromania real quick just give you some updates

What's going on? Have you been keeping up at all? I don't like the first team at all. What, M80? I think that's a great roster for the first team. What, Neptune, Neum, Estriel? I think that's a phantom. Bro, what other options do they have?

Where's the fourth? Like, this is a really good roster for M80. Boston. Who's the fourth? Oh, nasty? It's not going nowhere? It's rumored to be potentially nasty. Yeah, it's not a bad team.

Which like, Neptune? Actually, I fuck with nasty. Neptune. Nestle, I don't mind. Neum? I would have preferred. Nasty was weird. Because last year, he was really good on Boston,

and then gets on a better team. And it's kind of like, was just, I wouldn't say he was flat. He was mid. Yeah, he was very mid. But, like, he started the year, we were like, yo, so we need to get this guy. We kept saying someone fucking helped this guy. And then he goes to G2, right? Went to G2?

And then just didn't perform. I don't know. It was weird. Because he got a better team. But I do think nasty is solid, but it seems like he might need the right pieces around him to do good statistically. They really just left, left, Neptune, figure. out your way. Yeah, I don't know. I'm not sure what's up with Neptune. I remember talking a deal about it during Legacy Week because I was like, yo, Neptune really like, what's, what happened?

Whoa, well, no, it's nothing. Oh, okay. Come on, man. I'm saying, whoa, whoa, whoa. Decade long professional. I just, I forget what he told me, but I don't remember it being something where I'm like, whoa. Like, you know what I mean? Like, I feel like it's something that is manageable, especially in situation like him. Like, Neptune and I put in the same bubble as like Pred, Sib, like, all players that need to have a good year because their stock is low. Is not where their talent should have it. You know what I mean?

Well, I think NEPI obviously being the, I mean, he did come from HALO, right? His movement in the last game when they beat us on our major. He's a gross player. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. A weird year for NAP. So what is it? Krempe, Sib, Sel, Kismet.

Really? So X-Nid finally out at Falcon. Whoa. I'll tell you what. Really? Is this real? because this is like I'm being ruined right now. That's real.

Okay, cool. So now I'm finding out. Scrappy and Hydra are going where? Phase. With a Luca, draws out. The CEOs out? Droz is going to gentlemen.

I don't know if I agree with that. With the booze and O'Fee in the butt. I don't know if I agree with that one. I think draws is just, see, I don't, I'm going with the guarantee. I'm sorry.

Well, I just don't know draws like in the team room like that, but I feel like draws like, there could have been a contracting. He's a grinder. And I feel like, I feel like he adds like good locker room guy I know exactly who I'm picking

talking it has nothing to do with skill versus who bro I'm going with draw I'm going with Droz over who See that's what I'm saying I'm sorry I think a Luca's great I think he's a great player he's nasty He's older who's younger

Does he have that fucking dog in him You know what I'm saying Droz got that dog in him So it's like and you need someone like that I'm telling you I mean phase didn't What's going on you think is a contract thing Or a personality thing From Faze's POV you have a Luca who's

way cheaper than draws. Draws, phases picking up, scrap and Hydra. They're obviously getting paid. Okay, what would you have done? If you're getting, would you have treated, how about this? Would you have let go?

I would have, 04, and Dross? 04. You're the GM. No, I would have. The only way that you're able to make Hydra and scrap happen. I would have gave Dros more. Okay, but then you don't get Hydra or scrap. No, you could.

No, no, no. You could have. And then who you, who, who, who, Then Simp fucking gets fucked? No, you just... You just cough it up? Pay you a tiny bit more for the player that just won you a world championship

has been with you for years. Like, if you're gonna... If you're gonna pay these two new guys top dollar, I get it, but this guy's been loyal to the soil. He's brought you a world championship a couple months ago. Loyal to the soil. I like that.

I like that, too. And now, listen, maybe I'm crazy, but I think... I mean, that's a tough. Listen, I like a Luca a lot, though. So where's the draws going? Uh, gentlemen mates. who's it?

And gentlemen mates bought all three phase players for six figures each. So they bought them all out for over 100K each and they're paying them top dollar. So gentlemenates is really, O4 Driz. They're investing in their game. It's basically a phase team with Joe

instead of Simp down, which is also a good team. It's a good transferable. Natural chem. Fucking three of the four plus. Joe deceives a in Simp. Sure. But yo, real quick.

There's some good teams this year, man. Real quick, I do want to say this. Like, I do think it was primarily a contract thing. But in my, the way my player brain works is if the players really wanted to play with Draza over Aluka, it would have been done. Yeah. I feel like it was a situation where they're like, we'll play with Aluka. You know what I mean?

Well, Scrap is going. He can't play with Scrap? No, they can. They were planning on playing. Scrap and Draza were going to play together. Apparently they're good now. Yeah, they're good now. This podcast is brought to you by Very, famous for being the creators of the original

Yeah. He was great. I watched him and he was body and shit. Yeah, he kind of stole the show from Ethan. I like, who was? DK. He was body. Which I point at DK?

Right. Yeah. And which was Nathan? Ethan's, uh, second from the left. And then who's my man on the left? Aspect, I believe. Yeah.

And then, uh, my man in the middle. Denza. Denza. Yeah. I think Denzum might have retired. Yeah, I think he's been playing for a while. I saw his tweet. I'm pretty sure.

So, and then you have players like Aspect and FDOT who are trying to get U.S. visas to come compete in N.A. challengers. Because, you know, obviously the limited, you're very limited if you're playing EU challengers. You can only really be picked up, like, before the season. Did Ethan, didn't get on the team, though? I think Ethan will get under the team. Ethan's stock kind of tank, bro. Ethan went from, like, top stock and challengers to underperforming at EWC. And now it's like...

Very much so. to perform because like we were I mean even on the watch party like we were gassing Ethan up big time it was his first year and I think he's gonna be really good wait so is Ethan getting picked up I think he'll get on one of those like bottom teams C9 G2 surge teams that need to fill rosters damn phase next year is hydra scrap Aluca a luka there's good ass teams and then old phase is minus him plus Joe that's a good That's a good-ass fucking team. There's going to be some, it's going to be a comp year.

And I'll tell you what, people have been very harsh on Joe, and I don't think it's very deserved because they're like, oh, Joe hasn't won. This is finally the roster where it's like, Joe can win with this team. Yeah. Like Toronto was solid, of course, but I don't think they were a championship. Are the, uh, they were like a top four, top five. Top five, yeah. I mean, but I don't think they could have won with that team.

They couldn't get over the optics, the phases. If they don't give Toronto a fucking, you meant this, you're going to be fucking pissed. Well, the Toronto roster might be kind of in hell. I mean, because Estridle was rumored to go to Toronto. Now he's potentially going M80. So you still have Kleenex and Kips. You get DK, sure. But then who's the SMG?

Who do they go with? I don't see them picking up someone like AG. Wait, so who's the fucking Thieves team? Thieves is ghosty, envoy, abezy. It's a good team too. D.K. Or Rencore? Rancore?

Yeah. Dude, this year's about to be fired up. Rehncore. Yeah. pick up record all day long I'm not a fan of that team no I mean actually you know what I think they're a scrappy little weird team you know what he got pushed I don't

know big as dude I would have flexed on that rencourt Rencore Abizier your back suplexed what can we watch little fucking metals holding him back by his pectorals this

that was me talking about rencour and Abizi had that clip He does have a... Now listen, they could be solid. I'm just... I don't know. I think that's like a proof of year, too, for Abizian Envoy. Like, Envoy on G2 was great.

Abizi was not bad, but his stock is not what it once was. Like, they need to slay. They need to slay. Abizian Envoy need to slay like hell with that team. If Dill plays like he did at the end of the year with G2, I think they could be solid. Because at the end of the year, Dill is balling. And I'm... And I'm...

And Crempe were balling. I'm happy to see Rencoor on a different team, too, because I've been wanting to see Rencore and Super not play together and see how they perform individually. You think that they like kind of just crossed up? They're both slower. Like one's not much quicker than the other. Yeah.

You can have two slow IRs. You can have one. But the other one needs to be like a hard flat. But now if that's the case. Now I'm scared because Real's scared me. Because when Real went to Toronto, I'm like, oh, hell yeah, Real's about to fry and he was my ass. But it also depends on the style of game.

Like, we're thinking, B-O-7 was, it was like I-W almost, bro. It was just a, it was like I-W-A-W with boots. It was a bang-out, bro. So good. This game should be more punch. Like, looking at B-O-6 and then B-O-7 side-by-side, you're like, what the fuck?

Like, the pace of the game? Two times the pace. Last roster mania bit for the update. Is Blackop 7 one of my favorite Call of Duties of All Time right now? I tell you what. That's an absurd state. Blackop 7 was a bit lackluster in my name. No.

Oh, bro, I played the most. Omni movement was awesome, but I just think the game wasn't punishing enough. I just think you had a little break from Cod and you came back and you like started enjoying it again. It was stoned enough to focus enough to hit. Like if you take a break from Cod and come back, it's like, oh, hell yeah. It feels refreshing. Yeah. That clip that went by around me.

I'm like, yo, you don't play Cod for a minute? It's kind of viking. Yeah, but like if you're just fucking ass. If you're playing Cod every year, it's like, B-O-7 was. I think we all have. I mean, I didn't play the game at all. So like, at all.

Granted I had a kid and kind of that took the forefront. But yeah, I didn't play BOS 7 at all. I just stopped playing college duty. I played more college duty

when I had a kid. That's fine. Everyone's different. And they're trying to get Rambo and Sender as their coaching to do well. Rambo Re lucii.

For gentlemen mates. Rambo and Sender. Which honestly I love. That's a good, good cop, because Troy's like your vibey code. Not Ray's not a bad cop though. No, he will be.

He won't let you be late and shit. No, he can't be late. He's hilarious. He's a match to go. too. He won't let you be late, but like, he's not going to, like, come down on you, like, super hard. Like, he'll put it in a way that's respectful. But I'm, okay, I'm just saying, Ray is, like, more strict of a coach, in my opinion. Agreed. Oh, yeah, maybe I'm like, Troy's like, coach under Trump. Troy's like having a good buddy.

He's a good guy. He's a good guy. He's going to tell you how it is. He's a great coach. He's going to be wrong. I like both of them, but Rambo is a little bit more of my, my style of, hey, this is the structure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? Now, but I like them together. That's how JP is. Yeah, they'll have a good little duo. And they've all worked with all those players.

Rambo worked with O-4 and Abuza. And Sender's work with Hydra and Scrap. So, I mean, they're very familiar with the players. Rambo speaks French and we can talk. Gentlemen, this is going to all in. Yeah, but let me ask you something. Oh, Ray's going to love that. Yeah, yeah, but let me ask you.

Kava? Kava? Paco? I heard everybody. I heard everybody. He's not playing with Paco. Who? Who?

He's coaching Paco. Who's coaching Paco? Ray. They're going to phase? Oh, sorry, no, no, no. Oh, my God. Dude, you're fucking my brain. Sorry, sorry, sorry.

I don't know why I'd have said that. I said, uh, sender's work with Scrap and Hydra. Sorry, I don't know why I said that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My thing is, is like, so what, that he speaks French? The players speak English. He's not communicating with any French speaking. You know, Ray, bro.

He loves that shit. No, I mean, I like speaking Spanish too. That's like, yeah, of course. It's dope to speak to languages, you know, like really dope, actually. Like, if you don't, you're behind. This might be best case for Rostermania, to be honest. Everyone is. It's another three-team heavy league, which is better than two teams.

Yep. And then we got a lot of movement to talk about. No, see, I don't think it's like a heavy three teams, though. I feel like a lot of these... I think Falcons have potential. Look at that Falcons team, well. Yeah, no, I think a lot of like the... That's a good team, actually.

Like mid-pack, like upper to mid-pack teams, like the four through six got better. Like, all of them got better. So, yeah, man. I mean, let's talk about this campaign trailer. Oh, we don't care. Look like high rise Oh shit is that Batman

See, you know who has the thing about Call of Duty Mads Mads Mickelson Mads Mickelson Here's the thing about Call Duty Their trailers are always so good So good

Dude you know You know who has I think the best trailers In the game There's actually two Legal Legend Let me guess for Two games, two games.

I guess? Ballarat? No, that was your guess. Fuck. Diablo, number one, they have to make a Diablo movie. Like, a Diablo, CGI movie, like they do the trailers would feed families, and Wow. Wow's trailers. Well, this last one, Wow Forever, I wasn't really sold on, but all the other ones are so far.

That's my problem with those games, though, because, like, the trailers, like, you see the characters, and it's kind of like arcane, for league, for example. Yeah. Like, it's like an arcane for league, essentially. Mm-hmm. And that shit's dope. hell. Then you play the game. It just doesn't, I don't know, it's just not like that. You're saying, wait, wait.

You're saying, you play league? No, no, no. I'm not saying. Oh, okay, I was going to say. I was about to stop you right there. I'm not saying they're bad games, but I'm seeing like, all I'm saying is arcane is so dope, and then league, it doesn't look like that or feel like that. Obviously. Exactly, but that's what I'm saying.

But the lore is so cool because of the game. No, I agree with you. Jinks? Yeah, exactly. Arcane was one of my favorite shows I've ever seen in my life. And I don't even play. League. That's Liv's favorite...

Who's your favorite... Animated show? Who's your favorite... Person for a character? I think Jenks. Jinks was sick. I love Jenks. Her bag of tricks.

I love Jinks. There's a bunch of random shit. Well, yeah, that's her... Her abilities... So she throws down, like, those things, those chompers, and if you walk into them, you get rooted, and then they blow up. You get rooted. Dude, I mean, he sounds like a nerve, but it's...

And you can use two guns. You can use her machine gun, which builds up... It shoots faster every shot, so, like, you shoot once, and then it gets a little faster, shoot again, gets a little faster? Who was the fucker that became like God essentially? Was that Jace? The guy that's with Mel? I don't know.

The guy who at the end was controlling everything? I didn't finish the full show. Wait, is that? I didn't finish the full show. I guess, okay, if I had a spoiled, cut that. Is it Victor? Ben out, yes, Victor. Victor is who I'm thinking. Victor and Heimerdinger?

Heimerdinger. That guy's a little vibey troll. They're so used to me making shots from here that nobody reacted to it. Yeah, that was sick. No, no, no. I just, I'm so used to it. But, bro, thank you. If they made a Diablo movie, oh my gosh. I don't want to talk about movies. Did you reschedule our attendance? I couldn't, bro. I refunded

the tickets. That was it. No, no, but you can't, there's no more shows? Oh, for the Odyssey? We should go see that. I got those tickets a month and a half ago in advance. We should just go see it. And we have all, we have all day. We should just go see it on a random fucking day. Okay, but, but I'm sold out, though. There's no way it's still sold out. There's no way.

I'll look. Let's look right now. The Odyssey IMAX 70M. Okay, Riley, I need you to look up the box office right now for the Odyssey. Because if that shit is still sold out to this day, oh, because they're limited. That makes sense. We can go to L.A. and watch it. But I'm not going to L.A. for the next year.

Is it that crazy like that you have to see it? People say that it literally like takes away from the movie if you don't see it in 70s. Let me see. Let me see. Wait, so, Riley, you're on the other side of it. You don't care. How you watch it?

Keep going on. Riley, until you find passes. Bro, we're not going to care. We're going to eat it as gummy before it and be loving. I'm not taking many drugs. I'd be seeing these crazy movie theater clips on Twitter of like, the seats going crazy and shit. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, but they're close. I saw. I'd go to one of those. One of the most recent movies I saw was Godzilla, like the, like that's how long it's been since I've been to the theater. I'll look after and I'll see if I can make something shake. The one that they had it like will shake your seat and vibrate like when Godzilla like steps your seat will shake. I don't need that.

I don't need that. See, that's cool. I'm sitting there getting motion sickness and shit. Look at Monday the 28th, Riley. Maybe we'll get lucky there. A Monday? A Monday morning? There's no way motherfuckers going on Monday morning.

Oh, look at that. 1145. I'll go. I'll go. I'm in. Eight in a morning? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Can you go back to that? What, what's he available? The green's available. Okay, 1145.

Motherfuckers already have that much real estate in there? Brother, yes. Wait, Riley, you've seen it? It's worth it? So that means it's super worth the way that he intended it to be. Because those are my favorite types of movies. Like a journey? Yes. Like a, what is it called? A periodic. Yeah, the Odyssey. I mean, that's the correct. A period piece. is what you're thinking about. No, like, it's just a journey. Like, Lord of the Rings.

It's like an adventure. You know what I'm saying? Those are my favorite types of movies. Well, you're going somewhere. You don't know where you're going. Well, they're... And you don't know what awaits. They're just on a journey, though.

What future lays before me. Exactly. I love that shit. Will I die or will I go? Havoc, it's footage of cheating farm. What does that mean? How do I buy farm and hire? Who's havoc?

Oh, this havoc. How do I buy farm and hire? Oh, I thought he was... See, pause this? I thought he was behind the scenes. I thought he was undercover. I thought he was crawling under fences and shit. Bro.

They said that they said cheating is an $8.5 billion industry. So what the fuck are we waiting for? You remember what I said last week? That'll ruin all our face cards. We got a billion? Yeah. There's your hands.

Yo, Green Wall. Leave a like on the video if you're cool with us starting. I'm kidding. Chat, I mean, if you're watching, you've got two options. one you let us start cheating this is the bot lobby that's basically the only option

listen if we're cool to do this we can get you all the teams that you guys want you want a counterstrike team which one unless they're evil or because we can't sell the soul no more

way Activision's starting to actually sue people though you see that they've been releasing those videos it don't matter bro it's like whack a mole fucking knock one down one more pops up I believe it but I don't know that video looked a little 8.5 million. And with technology, like AI, I don't know how they, like, it's only going to get harder to stop.

They can't stop. Yeah. I think it's too, uh, 8.5. I don't know, though, because Valerite does a good job, don't they? I'm pretty, you cannot cheat in Valorant for, I've never played a cheating in an hour before you get sent. Yeah. Well, it's like the same shit.

Like, in, in Valerant League, like, all the riot games, you literally have to close, like, you have to download something, which is like the, the, the, what is it called, Vanguard, to download that. And then you have to reset your PC, but like, for God, we did the same shit. I had to literally fucking update my hearing. Yeah, yeah, same. I had to spam something before the TPM 2.0

whatever the fuck it was. Like, here's what has to happen. And it didn't do anything. At least us ranked players. Some hacker heard. I completely understand that call of duty is too casual of a game to have everybody download that. I get that.

Not everybody wants to do that. But when you press on rent play, that's when you should be prompted. to do that. And if you want to play ranked, then you have to accept the fact that you're downloading this. Agreed. And that's what it is. And I'm not sure if that's even logistically possible. I don't make it. What do

you do for console? That's the thing. The fact that cheating is leaked to console, that's what makes me think. That's a great point. Now it's impossible. We reached a point of no return. I love AI. I mean, yeah, we're fucked. We're allies. Which is so sad because

it's like cheating in Call of Duty, it ruins the game. Without question. Like, bro, I'm still, I'll go on Twitter and I'll see all the Warzone guys still bitching about, like, first off, props to y'all for still playing Warzone rank at this point. But second off, they're still tweeting like, bro, every single lobby is just all cheaters. Like, it's just so fucked. I just don't understand how you get, like, that feeling. The first cage fight between a human and a robot, I didn't see this.

Was this A.I. by the way? I can't see. I couldn't tell. Yo, this guy's got a mean kid. Wait, why the fuck does he look like Terminator? I did see the kick. He's got a mean kick in his locker. I'm knocked down. But he also could have fucking dominated this robot. There is zero

chance that this is... Wait, this isn't real, right? Yeah. Bro, this is the fucking guy with... You wouldn't stop hitting him, right, Mark? Oh my God. Dude, this is the guy that makes memes, like, he has his butt and he'll like... Oh! Yeah, you know what I'm saying?

That's a mean kick. That dude weighs. Was that Bill Kenny? Could you imagine Bill Kennedy's in a crowd? Him and Dan? Daniel Kang, just clapping it up. Yo, that thing is fucking like... I mean, that thing's scary looking. The kick seems.

But can it take a couple of fucking shots from the steel? That's a question. Well, what you do is you grab sand or sugar, from what I understand. You throw it in oil and then you put that oil in a sock or something and then you throw it at them. On fire. So that the oil, no, no, not on fire. So that the oil and the sugar or sand get in the... the joints and fucks them up.

I'll tell you how you beat it. You sprint to the backyard, diving a pool and say. I wouldn't do that because I'm an ally. Come fight me in the water. What do you mean, bro? Tell the robot come fight you in the water. He jumps in, he self-destructs. You don't think they're going to have shit that covers that?

No. They'll be aquatic. They'll be aquatic. They look like the bubble sucker. Soccer, the big ball soccer shit that we did. Bro, dead ass. They're so heavy, dude. They're sinking.

Dude. They're robots. They have unlimited strength. They don't have man strength. They have robot strength. They don't have to breathe, right? No. But they're still going to sink.

Gravity is undefeated. But they're going to be strong though. They're going to be strong. What does that mean, though? There's different metals. Not every metal is as heavy as the other. Like, they... Every metal.

Riley, can you look it up? Is there any metal besides maybe... Like, bro, Patma home's braces is made out of like... I forget what metal it was. but it was like less than a pound on his leg. Natural buoyancy in metals. Lithium. Making it roughly half as dense as water.

However, it reacts strongly with water, so it's stored in oil. B buoyancy. Melted. I mean, sure. Look, if you make a boat, which are made of steel, of course, of course. Well, boats are fucking... Are engineered. If you're a robot and you're not made out of metal,

made out of wood Then you can't even fight Taser it and fry it circuit Make a strong ass taser And just zaple But where would you hit it His whole body's a condo Taser can't even stick to it though

Like the shabows off Oh we have to Oh we have to innovate Right Can you look up Under your account That's our Cut this Riley

That's our avenue We plan for the destruction Of the universe You don't have to cut this We make weapons That can fuck with the robots Defend yourself I mean I wouldn't do the

I'm an ally. You think they're not thinking of that? Not before I did. We're way behind. They're not, they're humans. We've definitely thought of shit. If shit goes south, we've definitely thought of ways to take them out. You think?

We've had to. I hope we have. If we haven't. We can microwave people. Fuck you mean. We'll take out those shit. I'll continue. I'll continue.

I'll continue. I'll literally think of them. I think about that. There's going to be. There's going to be. There's going to be a, make it instance. If you're going to take me, I'll make it quick. You're just sitting there.

You're just sitting there. Yeah, you don't know This was also 13 years ago Dude, we're so, we can't sit here and talk about that Because we are so dumb compared to like No, not me Dude, what? Scroll down 13 years ago.

Electrical engineer here, maybe Look how he types, integrated circuits Why, okay, let me read further, Tazers are designated to embed themselves in the body of the victim. They aren't designed to make a strong electrical, you're on to something. What?

That's what Zinney said. They're not going to stick to him. I said that. No, that's what... Oh, that's what you said? See, I'm thinking about... I said that. I'm thinking about...

Rewinded it, Riley. Whoever said it. The taser can't even stick to it, though. Yeah, the tasters off. Oh, we have to... Oh, we have to innovate. Whoever said it. I'm thinking about the innovation.

How can we really kick... You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I know what you're saying. I'm with you. I'm always... I'm always churning. It's not hard to have the mind of an entrepreneur. It's hard to act.

It's hard to be the... It's hard to do it. That's right. That's right. It's hard to step away from what's known and true to try to dive into the unknown. It's really easy to have an idea, right? It's really hard to make it happen. Yeah.

Execution is everything. Riley, what's those hypotheticals I saw earlier? Okay. Halo moved under Activision Blizzard instead of Xbox. I seriously was hoping that it was going to be the other way around because I believe, I thought that that, uh... HALO's cook, man. I thought that the Halo, I thought the Halo e-sports department here's what I'm imagining

Okay Halo's cooked The IP's great Hold on though real quick No go ahead So they're firing the Halo employees For Activision to make it These multi-billionaires are crazy

268 boys What are you gonna say Hector Sorry No no no Crazy But yeah Halo's cooked bro Like Dude the IP for Halo is so fucking good

Obviously it's Halo But like I don't know man It's the arena style shooter Like is that what people want Nowadays I just don't think it is I don't know what people want

nowadays. I think like, I think extraction shooters are the way. Like, I think that's going to be, it's already kind of like been the next big thing with, you know, Arc Raiders. Now you have war dogs,

which isn't really as much of an extraction shooter. Okay, so it's a new team. Sorry. Wait, and plans for call duty? Oh, I thought it was a four, but your arrows over the A. Thank you. So it's not going to take away from call of duty.

What I was saying is that it was going to, I thought it was going to be the other way around, right? that the Halo Eastwood's apartment was going to come and sort of implement some of their processes into this thing. But I think that Xbox from the top down see the success that Call of Duty has had and they say, oh, it's because of the fucking the league people, not because of the teams that it brought it to where it's at. Is that what you were saying said that they need like an extraction shooter?

No, no, no. I'm not saying they need one. I'm just saying that I just don't know if people are like fiending for an arena-style shooter. Like Halo. No, there's too many options now. Arena-style shooters, I just feel like don't scratch the itch that they used to because once again, call duty when we were growing up was one of a kind. There was no feeling like it. Then when you have battle reels, war is almost one-of-a-kind battle royale. And then you have apex and so many different options that people gravitate toward it's like, you truly need to make something exceptional to have legs. There has not been a

single multiplayer game that's come out. Arc Raiders. But it fucked up. Yeah, exactly. Art Raiders. How did Ark Raiders fuck up? Because I don't hear about it anymore. Cheaters. They didn't ban the cheaters at all. Cheaters ruined it. They let the biggest streamers in the world

could stream sniped and hacked on every single day live until they all said, I'm not playing your game. You saw a clip of Tim? No. First off, he's a fucking nuthead for saying this and doing this because I'd be doing it. He got offered $400,000 to play Arc Raiders for four hours a couple weeks ago, and he turned it down. 400K?

I said, I'll do it for, I said, I'll play eight hours. I'll double it up just for 400K for 4 hours He said no He said I don't want to play Arc Raiders that bad And I'm so blessed to be in the position I am That I'm not going to play

That's insane It beats me I would have put that fake smile on boy For 400 Oh man I mean because he's probably It wouldn't even be fake Because I liked Arc Raiders

Like shit Stream snite me Fuck it If I get hacked on a couple times It ain't no brow It ain't nothing It's all right You fucking hacked off

damn. It's going to suck. I lost my in-game kit, but the real-life kit, go be nice. Real-life kit, going to be nice. Yeah, our craters got fucking just pummeled by cheaters, bro. I mean, even Tfu came back. Like, this game

had the legs. It literally had the legs to be, like, unbelievable. Yeah, I agree. And then, and I'm telling you, it's because it's that extraction, I feel like when you add that monetary value into game, like, or you add that just, I have my stash. If I die, I lose this good shit. Once you add

that, it makes people, like, addicted. Like, you're literally, you're, you're going to lose all your shit. I don't want to die. When you're playing cod, it's like, oh, I died. Buy me back. You don't lose anything. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, there's no stake. On your phone, when you die, you're just like... Obviously, rank play, like, lose SR, but, like... When you have... cash, the way that Tim has cash. And you don't want to be annoyed. And you just don't want to be annoyed. 400 for four hours?

That's $100,000 an hour, dude. There's nothing I wouldn't do for that. Within moral. Of course, of course. And I think it was 400K. I could have sworn he said 400K. Maybe I don't think it was 400. I think it was 100.

A hundred? I think it was 100. He said six figures? You've been texting? Was that texting? No, I saw 100,000 somewhere. Hey, let's FaceTime him. You see what I'm saying?

Like 100% We're going back You know what I mean But it's just for me The game frustrated me so much I got frustrated so much with that game I just don't want to play it like ever again Even to a point where six figures

Didn't give me back on it Okay I saw 400K somewhere Tim's just flexing bro Yeah He's just flexing And I like it Go ahead on then Tim Fucking beast

Go on and get Tim Six figures. So my question is, where'd that budget go? Why didn't Bill Kenney bring it our way? They spread it. They sent it elsewhere. Yeah, where to go? Who got the Tim back?

Who was the next level? Yo, Giants fan panicked as Jackson Dart leaves the game with an knee injury and let me guys as any? We're not talking about that again. Okay, we already did it. Thank you. I don't want to really. Yeah, we started off all football. Yeah.

I love that. Six-year-old breaks, Rubik's cute. I'm good. I'm good. I don't want to see the shit. Oh, never mind. Yeah, congratulations. Oh, I want to support the...

What the... Support the youth. Okay, that's kind of insane. A six-year-old broke the record? Twice? A six-year-old. What the fuck did I just see? I've never been able to do one.

One of our Greenwald brethren taught me how to do a Rubik's Cube at the Aria in Vegas. I was like... Get out of here. He was walking around with it. I don't remember it. I was like, bro, can you actually walk his group... Bro, she's looking through what's going through your head

when you solve it? And he walked me through it. Dude. I look at Rubik's cubes and I remember being a kid thinking, I am so dumb. Bro, you know what's funny? I was literally like this and I started taking off the stickers and re-sticking him. What? What?

I had a kid. I was like, bro, I could never figure this shit out. And I had this one of my boys, he's fucking genius. Like a literal genius. And bro, he would always have one of those and solve it. I'm like, it makes sense. Like, I could see why you can do fucking genius. I mean, I'm sure there's a combination.

It's all Still though I can't do one Once this color hits here What the fuck What? What'd you say? Like once this color hits here Then like it's all pattern recognition

I think Like you're trying to get a certain color into this spot And then this like It's crazy Which I got no idea what I'm That's what I'm saying That's what I took away from What he showed me in Vegas

I wouldn't be a lot I don't think I could complete one Who lived my dream rather Let me see this He lives in his dream But he had no idea That's random Chuck Laidel and what's his name

Berndal? John Berndal. I worked on Punter. I worked on Punisher. Oh fuck yeah, good to see you bro. I worked on Punisher. He's good to see you bro. Dude, that show was awesome when it came out.

The Punisher? Yeah, but yeah, that's pretty cool. Running randomly into John Berndel, that reminds me randomly, TV. There's a new guy, Richie, coming out. I know you don't watch trailers, but it looks fucking good. It's got Benedict Cumberbatch.

The cast is stacked. I'll say it again. The greatest of all time. But secondly, season two of the gentleman on Netflix, episode one is like a fucking movie, mate. Did you watch more than episode one yet? I watched episode two. Oh, yeah.

And it was just as fire. Not a movie, but it was just as fire. We started that new monster show on Netflix. Oh, I don't like those, dude. That guy always makes family members make out and shit. And it just, that guy makes it weird. What? Like, I tried watching the most recent one.

What are we talking about? In the Tidy Whites, you know what I'm talking about? The most. Ed Gein. Yeah, I was like, I can't watch it. Ed Geen? You know Ed Gein is who they base the Texas Chainsaw Massacre after? Really?

What the fuck are we talking about? I don't know. Because he'd wear people skin. There's a monster series on Netflix. It started with Dahmer. They've done Ed Gein and now it's Lizzie Borden. Yeah, Lizzie Borden. But these shows are a bit too weird for me.

This one's definitely weird. It's weird? Of course. Yeah, definitely weird. I mean, I guess they are... And Body Snatcher? They are displaying, they are showing you weirdos. I don't watch those shit.

Is it decent, though? Yo, you guys have to watch last scene on Apple TV. Oh, I saw you posting about it. You have to watch last scene. I am, I am, I am. It's not all out yet. Episode... I'm going to wait then.

Episode four comes out tonight or tomorrow. I'll wait. I'll wait. I'll wait. Dude, it is good. Yeah, it is good. I saw you post it on it. I'm not going to watch it.

Really good thriller. I would say it's like a mix between like kind of sharp objects, Mary of East Town vibes. I haven't seen either. You haven't seen either? I've seen Mary of East Town. Bro, please. I don't think you understand, bro.

We get one episode a day. No, I get it's hard now, but, dude, they're so... I used to watch all the shows when I first had a baby. I would be hypothetically speaking scenarios. So, scenario one, you'll be poor, unhealthy, homeless, and in physical pain, but in 30 years, you're guaranteed to be a billionaire. Would you do it? Absolutely not.

Wait, okay, what is it? In 30 years, I would be 86. 76. Yeah, no, I'm good. A billion means nothing. Scenario two. A genie offers you 10 million if you can survive as one of these random animals for a week without dying, do you take the cash?

What are the random animals? Okay, 10 million. If you can survive, is one of these random. All right, I'm down. Let's do it. Oh. Oh, it's a super random animal. Come on. Give me something cool. Give me a, please give me a bird.

No, you gotta be a dog or cat. What am I? What am I? Oh, easy. Oh, I'm surviving. I'm surviving. Oh, yeah. You're chilling. Riley, spin me. I'm down for the challenge. You're chilling. I'm going to get an aunt. Watch. Just get stepped on first day. First day out. I mean, and too good

Dude, you could be a fucking catfish and you're about to get A nightingale, easy. Good, A very easy fly. I mean,

I mean, I mean, a hawk, a hawk, you could be preyed on but you should be good. I'm finding a birdhouse for the week.

I'd hide. I'd be in a friscoe This is me, this is me, this is me. This is me. Let me guess, a fucking elephant.

That's good though. A pheasant. You're cooked, I think. Otter, order, Can you up? They're serving you.

I'm getting shot at. I'm getting hunted by animals and humans. All right. Give you something nice here. Give you something nice. They're going to make fly fishing flies off of my feathers. Oh my God.

That's a good one. I'm chilling. You just don't give a fuck, do you? Honey badgers are like the most ruthless little things. The only thing crazier than that is the Australian Wolverine.

Wolverine is. are also insane. Yeah, but that's a good one. You're surviving everything. I would do this. You get $10 million a year, but once every quarter, for the rest of my life, a random person gets to teleport

you to wherever you want and you have to find your way home. Do you take the deal? Yes. Nah, but all it takes is one sick. Yeah, they put you in the middle of the Sahara, middle of the ocean, you're done. You're dead. Yeah, but you have 10 million.

And you know, they're like jealous. That's your fucking child. Okay, ready? I'm swallowing a tracking device. One million dollars to the first person that finds me and rescues me. I'm good. Yeah, but you only have 10 million. So that happens. This is once per quarter. You're in the middle of the ocean. Once per quarter though. A random person gets to teleporting.

No, no, no. You get $10 million a year. Oh, it's per year. Okay, sorry. Okay, so it's four quarters. Okay, yeah. So you're making six mil a year at least. If you swallow the tracking device. Yeah. Hell yeah. It's a great deal. Yeah, but okay, here's a scenario. They put you at point in email. No. And you freeze to death immediately? It's the furthest point. You are the furthest from land or civilization.

I can't remember which one. In the middle of the ocean. Farthest distance, further degrees. Furthest from low far would, oh shit. That's, that's, they're not rescuing you. Your tracking device might not help you here. To be fair, you have to be evil to drop me a point. Okay, are you ready?

Okay, are you ready? Here's the logic. Here's my logical contention. me to put me in point in emo. Well, they don't know you. Here's a point. Okay. Okay. One Ian Crimsix Porter once told me that there is a $350,000 brightling watch that once you press a button, it sends like Navy seals and shit to wherever you are. It's satellite linked. So, why I could buy one and send you seals to my location? No, no, no. You got to be, bro. That's what Crim six up. Regardless. What? They're going to take a long time to.

get to you. No, I beat the Frisco Diner. So for 350K, you have access to the Navy Seals? I beat the Frisco Diner and I go. And once they show up, I said, I just want to see if you guys will come. Yeah, but you can't press it again. And it costs $300,000. Oh, it's one press. Yeah. You have one single press? Oh, a 16,000 watch that can have you rescued from anywhere in the world. Ah. When my wife's takes, we shop. He said, there it is. There it is. There it is. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, go down. Funny you say that because I had a tour of the Brightling factory and interview the CEO. This was my first question. If I get really bored on a family picnic and hit the button, will a rescue team actually get me out of there? He told me yes, a distress signal

would be set and I could expect a rescue team to fly in. 20K invoice? Oh, so, oh, they can hit you with a false deployment. But if you're actually in trouble, they'll show up. That's sick. You're a prom? You accidentally press it? No. You're a prom? You take your dad's watch. But is it Navy SEALs or is it just a rescue team? Probably just. You look like a Probably Frisco PD pulls up. You look like John Cresinski in John Ryan? I got an iPhone, Jack Ryan. Jack Ryan, where they pick them up at the...

Yeah. Yeah. Ooh, I love the ultimate drafts. Come on. I don't like these. Things that start with I. Internet. Welcome.

Okay. Skump. Look, he's searching on Google. No, fuck. I didn't know I was second. Things that start with I. Internet's a really good start. internet's great.

I was going to say incense. I'm going to order something real quick. Italy. Oh. That's a good one. Oh, hell. That's a good one. Start with an eye.

I kept that close to me, too. I didn't even want to say, you better not steal mine. Yeah, no, I wasn't thinking that. Because if I got you churned. Italy is actually a good shot, though. Italy is a great one. Because they have internet and intercourse.

I don't know. What the fuck. I honestly can't think of anything Everyone does Island Islands But that's like I mean I get

I'll say islands But I can't even think Well no what else even is there I can't even think Iced out chains Oh investment Oh yeah that's beautiful Investments

What if they're bad investments Food you can eat any time of the day Oh bacon egg cheese Top pepper ketchup Big chicken cheese Popper ketchup Cous Any time of the day.

Toast. I'm a big fan of toast, so I love that one. Wait, what the fuck is Beck salt pep ketchup? Bacon, egg, and cheese? Oh, dude, yeah. I'm gonna go fruit. I wasn't gonna say pizza, but I'm like, yeah, I'm... Fruit's a good one.

I mean, you could eat pizza any time of the day, but, like, pizza at 8 a.m.'s insane. Well, you can't eat pizza all day if you'd just start late. Or that. That only applies to smoking, I guess. You can't smoke weed all day if you start at 12. You got to start when you wake up. Let's start with the letter F?

Oh, food that you can eat any time of the day, a sandwich. Both I guess has it already, right? Let's do... I know a good one. I know a good one. I'm surprised you ain't saying it. I didn't hear it. That's an unbelievable one.

good one too. That's a good one too. That's a good one too. I knew he was. All right, hector, fictional era, timeline to be reborn into. Fictional era timeline?

I would be, I would be born as Link in the legend of Zelda, the O'Carian of Time. You go on a dope-ass adventure and you get the girl in the end. You always bring up, hell yeah.

You always bring up Zelda. I've never beat it and then the new one's coming out. You have to. You have to. I'm going to beat it when the next one comes out. I literally waited since 1997 for technology to get to a point

where I can beat the game finally in high definition. You know what I'm saying? Defendifin. Guy defundiff. Fuck it then. Shit. Okay, well I got a couple here.

I'm going to go, I'm just going to go Star Wars just because I would say Lord of the Rings but it's like living in Lord of the Rings might be a little bit ass. But like Star Wars? I want to be Ash, catch them. I want to be...

Pokemon's a good one. I want a Pokemon. Dude, I've been... I'm a... I'm a... be dominating this list. Mark, go ahead. And of course, toast and Pokemon. I don't know, toast is kind of weak.

Nah, toast. The other two are good. Can I be put into SpongeBob? Everyone loves it. Yeah, of course. Everyone loves toast. Okay. So now, I'll live in a pineapple under you see. Vibe, little sim. Vibey.

First item you grab. In a zombie apocalypse? Easy. Ooh, this is good. I got this on love. A flamethrower. Yeah. $16,000 brightling watch to call a rescue.

team. Okay, I will take a... I want... I want the keys to Costco. And I'm locking myself in that bitch. They're just going to run through the glass. I'm barricading it up. Shotgun.

Give me a shoddy. That's not bad. I mean, I was just going to say a gun with ammunition, of course. Okay. So it looks like all of us are picking weapons. Hell yeah. You said what? A gun?

A gun, yeah, with ammunition. With ammo. Lots of ammunition. Not with unlimited ammo, okay. And a suppressor. Ready? Ray gun. What?

That doesn't, it's not real. Okay, what the fuck? You, how about a yacht with gasoline? That's what I was in. A yacht with so much gas, they'll never run out. Better not light a sig. A tank? Run everything over.

First item, you're grabbing a zombie apocalypse. No, not medicine. That's not a bad one. I would say my woman. Imagine you get like a bacterial infection. You're beat. Got no antibiotics. I would probably have to say a large machine gun mounted on a Humvee that has a back that has internet.

But you see, you don't want to, like, you don't want that much noise surrounding you, though. You want to be very, like, you know, the best way to survive a podcast. A zombie apocalypse is by killing all of them. True. I guess gave me the MP5 silence. There's 8 billion people on the world. There's more bullets. Granted. Than people.

Well, no. You're beat. Not me. Maybe you. You're beat. What are you going to live on the Humby? Riley, which list is your favorite, Riley? Crowdsurf into the fucking zombies. Take me.

Just go, Allison's stronger. We don't want to play this fucking game. Yeah, Riley, who wins? Thank you. All right, let's see. Let's see. Okay, so you're saying that you would rather take one single shotgun, Riley, than a Humvee with a mountain machine gun?

What, are you going to sit on it all the time? Yeah, because I can bring it inside. I can bring it inside. I can bring it to the store. I can go into any building you're in with that Humve. If they attack your house, you've got to find your way to the Humvee, find a route. If they attack my house, they're going to have to get through. Oh, yeah.
