Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, you know what? There should be a service. What, the checkout service? This is the sort of thing that my brother would just say without any thought about how whether people are going to take it or can't believe Hacks has these sort of thoughts. They come and give you a mug of cinnamon. They pry your mouth open. They just dump cinnamon in your mouth.
Starting point is 00:00:13 I mean, that's just torture at that point. I mean, it's time for you. It's time for you to go. You just want to go out in a spicy fucking... A cinnamon mountain. Right, that would be awful. No. Where I was going is that dust coming out.
Starting point is 00:00:28 guys welcome to episode number 271 of the optic podcast last week i went on a little bit of a rant it got picked up by everyone we cut a bunch of stuff out and then my vlog went live and i still had some of the stuff that you fucking self-reported well no not really i mean i said what i said i stand on and i believe in it like it's for the betterment of call of duty doesn't matter welcome to another week we have uh your usual hosts we have the scumper jumper on the left no he wasn't here on time. You got Marcus Embo's blanks and the form skis in the fucking building. Both of them were here before me. So, well, Riley was here on time. Hopefully nothing breaks. Oh, my God. Yeah, you've been, you've been on permadick lately. It's actually insane.
Starting point is 00:01:21 Oh, you know, I was actually talking about it. You saw my text yesterday? All I said was perma. Yeah. Just perma, bro. But can we like, can we clear the air on that? Because I feel like a little bit not slighted or delulu. But I just want to make. sure that we are all on the same page. It is okay to be on someone's, like, ass to get them to do when they're late all the time, right? Like, it's not, like, I'm not on your dick, like, just because it's Tuesday.
Starting point is 00:01:45 Let's make a time table, the amount of time that I've had torched. Okay. From being on time. Who's the biggest time to think? And then you'll see why I come 15 minutes. Actually, I was 12 minutes late today. I was actually, I was early. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:58 I was early. Yeah. But I, if, if, if, if, but we're on the same page, right? Like, one, you are late and therefore it's okay for me to say, hey, you're late. Okay, just making sure. But it's calculated. So it's like, yes, I'm late, but I'm also, it's calculated. I know.
Starting point is 00:02:13 So what you're saying is that we, I'm late on purpose. The start should be just 10.15 for everyone then. No, because then I'm coming 10.30. Why? Because, bro. Telling you, get the timetable out. We'll do some fucking math here.
Starting point is 00:02:26 This is what we're going to do going forward. I'm fucking years shaved off. Years shaved off my life. Okay, but also mine, though. Like, I'm always on time. And if you were waiting, that means that I was waiting because I was waiting for you and then everybody else. And I'm still here on time. They're lucky I ain't paying the salaries.
Starting point is 00:02:39 It'd be 200 here. 250. Is that a fucking, is that a Coke can, 250? Damn. You heard it here first? I'm going to use this because I know somebody travels with him. Anyway, I do, I do want to say thank you to everybody that agreed with some of my points and views. And thank you to those who kind of disagreed with them, but not fully because there's nothing to fully disagree with.
Starting point is 00:03:01 we have we have exciting times coming up ahead embo's you're not coming with us to Mexico City just is there a reason you're just not your thing no
Starting point is 00:03:10 you're not a foody I am but it's like spend 1500 if you wake up you're in the red just to go eat and shit rather slightly tip into the red
Starting point is 00:03:26 and then just stay home yeah you know what I'm saying feel that yeah feel that heavy hardcore hardcore you're not coming either and neither is formal well yeah i'm moving soon so so you couldn't do it because you never uh never asked to be invited somewhere never asked to be invited somewhere you ain't invited sorry where are you yeah so you didn't

Starting point is 00:04:28 waitress to the stewardess can he have some water please yeah she she's she's speaking speaks full in Japanese. Does she really? Yeah. That's amazing. You don't speak a lick of Japanese, so do you? I speak like five words, but they're all bad words. Do you know what Kiritsu or Mamaru means?
Starting point is 00:04:43 Of course. What? Well, the viewers can talk about in the comments. Okay. What's that where? That's from a demon hunter. Demon Slayer, first of all? Demon Slayer.
Starting point is 00:04:53 It's Hunter Hunter, Demon Slayer. That's all I know. That's all I know. I'm not really into. I just hear what Liv tells me to watch. me to watch. She's like, watch. She's like, you can't watch anything or you can't watch attack on Titan until you watch all of these. And all of those have thousands of episodes. Dude, I'm telling you, I might just be too stubborn, but anime, I just, I've tried it. I've tried
Starting point is 00:05:16 it. I don't know. But I feel like I got to, like, actually give it a chance. I've never, like, actually given it a chance. But the amount of people that like it, I mean, usually when that many people like something, it's good. fire, especially you, because you like animated movies, like, sing and... Sing, too. And they sing too that you had the, and then what was the other one?
Starting point is 00:05:35 That, the Christmas movie, Camilla, Camilla? Like the... Camilia? Yeah, I'm... Caroline? Caroline? That's a Halloween movie. Oh, shit. Yeah. Coraline. Yeah, so we... Did I say Caroline? I'm so waking up. Yeah. But we did it. It's one of the best.
Starting point is 00:05:51 That's a good one. It might be the, well, nightmare before Christmas. But, Core lines up there. Yeah, I think you would like, I mean, I think that you should start with like, Ninja Scroll would be like a good one. Ghost in the Shell, Akira, like those three you should start with
Starting point is 00:06:05 and then you should just move on from there to initial. Ninja Scroll. What does he read a scroll? No, dude. And it's, they got, they got like scenes that you like. What's that mean? Yeah. What's that mean?
Starting point is 00:06:16 So many thoughts you. Dude through my worst. Yeah, I think for a second. Sick twisted shit. Sick twisted shit, dude. With a, with a, with a, with a katana. Yeah. you love that
Starting point is 00:06:26 I fucking love that yeah alright ladies and gentlemen how was do you guys celebrate Easter what uh are you religious I used to back in not celebrate it but like we used to do things like ham fucking hard boiled eggs
Starting point is 00:06:39 yeah little shit like that her mom facetime issue is they had like nice little spread pecan pie ham like that yeah just like a family get together not really a celebration did your mom allow make any cherry pies per chance
Starting point is 00:06:51 oh they don't obviously what am I saying yeah for Easter did they do this No, I'm kidding. No cherry pies. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you can always get one. Yeah. She loves to do it.
Starting point is 00:07:01 I mean, I don't know where to put the order in. Me. Can you have her make one? Like, actually, I'm leaving, so maybe when we get back. Hey, this is mom. Hey, this is mom. Hector, who wants a pot? One pot.
Starting point is 00:07:13 Just one. That's crazy. They're so good, bro. Like, I sometimes don't even eat the filling. I just like use some of the filling, but the crust itself is like, oh. Just flaky and shit. So good. Buttery flaky.
Starting point is 00:07:25 Um, yeah, we don't, we don't really do anything anymore. I don't even think that the kids like look for eggs anymore. Maybe like are my youngest, uh, nephews and nieces do, but like, I don't know. It's like, live doesn't do that no more. We used to like put the egg on like that metal thing, dip it into the water. Yes, too, like diet. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:45 And make designs. Yeah. Yeah. I did that in school, but. Damn. I did that shit just because I was an artist. I had watercolors. I was fucking drawing.
Starting point is 00:07:55 folks and shit. It just gang science on the fucking eggs. Somebody picks it up. He's like, oh, it's the star of Abram. No, ma'am. Something else. Yeah, so I've missed a lot. Obviously, this past weekend I was
Starting point is 00:08:12 super busy. You call it duty analysts. Like, what do you guys think of all these changes? And then we'll get to the faker stuff. I don't know if you guys talked about it, about the capsule. What? Like, isn't he the one that's gonna drop? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:28 Do you fuck with that or no? I don't think that's the right call. Yeah, that's awesome. I mean, from all the rumors I've been saying on Twitter, like, I can't really sift through and tell which stuff's like. Real. Yeah, but the only thing I didn't like is like someone, not someone from out the blue,
Starting point is 00:08:44 but just the way I saw was like, how would you know what the hell is going on with Cap? You haven't been, you haven't played with that guy in decade. Wait, who will say that? Who will say that? I forget. One of the EU kids, They're saying basically like he's like a headcase or something.
Starting point is 00:08:57 He gets in his own head or some shit like that. I'm like, isn't that just part of being human, getting in our own way and getting in our own head? Or he like gets on the team and stops trying? Yeah. Like that's what they were saying. I'm like,
Starting point is 00:09:07 what? Yeah. He gets on the team and stops trying. I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, I did hear that. But like when I hear that I think like waking up late for scrims, coming to practice,
Starting point is 00:09:16 your half-hast in practice. Like that's what I think when I hear that. Yeah. Like troll-y. That's usually what it is. Him teach trolling. Yeah, I don't really know the dynamic of that team, but I don't think that capsules the problem. And then they're fucking...
Starting point is 00:09:28 Are they actually dropping Trakes? That better. Yeah, I saw that. Wait, that's just... For who? For Real? For Real, yeah. That better be kept.
Starting point is 00:09:36 They're bringing Real back? After he... No, I was gonna talk... I was just got to talk shit for no reason either. See, I've been like semi-keeping up with the roster stuff. The Trakes one, I don't really agree with. I mean, Trakes... But the thing is, like, Miami subs...
Starting point is 00:09:52 They're inconsistent. Like, they had such a good online split, but they get to land and they have a bad weekend, which granted, it's one weekend, but the majors are super important and there's not many of them. But they're inconsistent. So if they think Real can bring some consistency in the subs, because their ARs are great. Their ARs are always, always frying, like, but they got to find some consistency with the subs. Because they would, they would, like, fry one series, and then next series, you know, not fry. But I did like, I did like Trakes.
Starting point is 00:10:19 I thought that he, like, was, I thought he was getting better. I mean, Rookie of the year, right? Like, that's the been in the talk, and we're going to replace a rookie of the year for Rial. Like, look, listen, I'm a fan of Rial. Like, I think he's, I was anti them breaking up, no matter the cost of the money, no matter how much money they were going to make. I was telling them via this to hopefully get to his ears to not do it. You guys were so close as the Spanish squad to bring one home for the country of Spain. They weren't close.
Starting point is 00:10:46 Weren't they? At the last major, no, they weren't close. No, not the last major, but with him. Oh, yeah, they were with him. They got close. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like, they should have seen that through. But then they did see it through and first event didn't go.
Starting point is 00:11:00 With the same with Real? Yeah. No, Rial was on Toronto. Yeah, Rial was on Toronto by then. I'm fake. You got baby brain, dude. I'm fucking fade. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:08 But I don't know. I don't think, I don't think that you get trakes, dude. How old is trakes? Can you? Right here. Perfect. How old is he? I don't know how many, how much fact this is, though.
Starting point is 00:11:17 The Trakes one. Yeah, that may have been. That was the least likely one. That was actually real. They may have... I don't know if that's real. Yeah, I don't know if that one's real. It's metals or shit.
Starting point is 00:11:27 And look who they lost to it. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Meadows probably will go like, ah. Well, metals, I feel like he's... Metal's been around for a minute. Yeah. He's always been like...
Starting point is 00:11:37 He might have to guarantee. Yeah, he's always... Good. I like him. But yeah, look who they played. They played Mades and Thieves. Like, yeah, they had a bad tournament, but it's not like they went and lost a fucking,
Starting point is 00:11:48 you know, surge. Damn. Dude, it's like, it's like, odd man out, Trakes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, he's not from Spain. You know what I'm saying? Like, he's from, in fact, he's not, he's not, he's from Argentina. Yeah, I don't know how they feel about it either, but I don't know if that's real.
Starting point is 00:12:04 What would you do if you were the GM? I would get rid of medals. And there's nothing wrong with medals, like personally, I think that's a good kid. I think he puts a really fucking hard role too in his defense. Like, statistically, he's just bound to go negative, like, every other game. Because the rest of them play a bit selfish. And that's just the dynamic of their team. but like, Trakes is like,
Starting point is 00:12:23 he's like top three rookie of the year. Like, it's between him, Niam and Kipps from here now and. Lurks. Oh, yeah, lurks too. I mean, yeah,
Starting point is 00:12:30 there's a lot of good rookies. Wait, why are they getting rid of, why are they letting rid of, getting rid of lurks? Like, he's been the star player. No, no, no,
Starting point is 00:12:37 they were getting rid of Lurcht. If they were getting rid of Lurchon, I would. I want you to invest in. You would call the owners just as to say, hey, I have no dog in this fight, but you're being a little cuckoooo.
Starting point is 00:12:47 Yeah, the nod. Do you know a scump reached out to us about this? But yeah, what else is their roster mania? It's Trakes. Well, Boston. What's Boston doing? Well, the Falcons ones is pretty insane.
Starting point is 00:12:59 Well, wait, what happened with Falcons? I've literally been in a fucking hole. I have been in a hole. Sources Boston to look at Afro for SMG spot. Abru, I just literally. That one's actually probably true. Astros said my Afros. I just said that this morning when I went to go get a haircut.
Starting point is 00:13:14 That one's probably true. Well, they benched. Yeah, they benched both their subs. Boston. Yeah, there's two open sponsor in Boston. And I think that one's true too. Nasty.
Starting point is 00:13:23 Nasty Kenny Spart. Spart. Nasty Kenny Spart and Afro? I think so, right? I haven't really been... If that's the team. I've been key...
Starting point is 00:13:32 But, I mean... I don't really know much of it. Falkins to test Pratt and Exit out? Wait. We, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we. That's poorly worded. They're bringing in QK, and they're going to trial
Starting point is 00:13:45 XN for scrims. They're going to trial Pred for Scrims. in the same position and see who's better. Between Pratt and... Yeah, and I think it's more of like them just being nice to X-Nid when... I don't think there's a world where X-N gets the spot over Pred.
Starting point is 00:13:58 Which fucking sucks, because X-Nid had such a good online split. If that could puts it together on land, that kid has a great future. Yeah, he just hasn't been able to do it. It's just like, there's just like a ticking time bomb of like, in his own head of like... He's gonna start tweaking on stage soon if he hasn't already. You know? Because like, you're playing online,
Starting point is 00:14:13 you're getting all this gas, you go to tournaments and you're like not playing well, the same people that are gassing. You are now roasting you and it hurts even more because you're on land. Everyone's telling you're an on liner. Like there's just a certain point you get to in your head where you're like, I can't play on land. I don't like that stage.
Starting point is 00:14:27 Damn. You know, and I think that kid's, he's such a good kid too. He can't tell he's so genuine. I truly do feel bad for him that he can't put together on land so far. I don't know about his fucking monitor, though. You've seen that shit?
Starting point is 00:14:39 Yeah, I know. Yeah. I mean, yeah. He's got to tell. I just don't know. Don't get me started, bro. That shit sounds. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:47 I don't know. But I mean, I don't think it's a world where, like, you drop Pred. No. No. You know what I mean? Especially with the amount of money that you're paying? Yeah. No.
Starting point is 00:14:55 I don't think it's a world. I mean, I've had a great stage too. And he, yeah. I mean, obviously he's been playing good. He is a shooter, so. He's been playing good. No, no. The only thing with Predd is he's not really like a dirty work kind of player.
Starting point is 00:15:11 No. No. But he ain't acting the point. Kismit isn't planting a bomb. He's got, he's got a dirty word. Yeah. You got kids. don't really need to do that. It's a great point.
Starting point is 00:15:19 I think that they just wanted to move kids to a sub and they're trying to do like anything they can to get that to happen. Because kids on a sub is kind of needed for this squad. Like him on an AR was like so awkward. That QK kid, he's there's been a lot of like good PR around him. I haven't seen him shoot but everyone's insane. He's nasty. No, yeah, his POV's nice. He's good. The only bad thing is I don't know how much English he speaks. That's like the one thing that people talked about. Who? Oh. Kukay? Like how much, how much, how much English he can actually speak? Yeah, but that's like a certain point like you scream a bunch. You only need to
Starting point is 00:15:45 learn like the cod callouts you know what I mean yeah like and that's not too difficult I would imagine shit I can't imagine learning them in a different language I know but I did say that and as it was coming out on my mouth I was like that'd be kind of hard that would be doing is calling out colors that's the best I can give you that's the best I can give you bro. I'm not to say like blue blue school that's the that's the best but even then you're like in the middle of you're like how do you say it oh yeah yeah when shit starts getting gritty you guys trying to think in a different no way you're shooting and thinking looking up.
Starting point is 00:16:16 It doesn't even work. Ravens trialing Geo and Fire. God damn. They're bringing them all back. You know, roster media is insane. Everyone's making channel, which isn't that surprising, but literally everyone. Two meters and now, you're kind of on the cusp of not making champs for some of these teams. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:32 You got to do something now. The Carolina team could be something. They just got a, I don't know. They're like a weird, scrappy-ass team. Yeah, well, Lurks, again, Lurks is nasty. Yeah, that guys. That kid deserves me. better to be honest. Yeah, that kid's nasty. That kid's
Starting point is 00:16:47 really good. So who would it be? It would be lurks. Exceed and craze? Well, they're trialing GeoNfire. Oh, Exceed's gone too? Oh, they're getting rid of Exceed. I just get near it was gone. Oh yeah, I saw that shit. Hey, you guys. This is my... I didn't see that. This is my thing with that is like...
Starting point is 00:17:07 I pulled myself in that position and if any of my players are creative, or any of my literal friends that I work with on a daily basis at the scuff house and they came out. Like I just think, like I get to, going to the scuff house from my vlog
Starting point is 00:17:21 and I get to the scuff house and then all of a sudden it gets out that, that maniac is asking for ease. First thing that I do is like pack your fucking bags. Come on, man. That's not real. You need to get that real. Come on, man.
Starting point is 00:17:34 Yeah, like that's... Would that be saying? This is so good, too. This is so fucking good. Wait, this is Dero tweeted this? Yeah. But yo, but every man in the world understands I'm not the same man I was five minutes ago. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:17:53 You know what I'm saying? You know, Hagu's probably like, why are motherfuckers using my photo? Yeah, he pinned it too. Yeah, that's great. You know, he fucking pinned it. Yeah. How many favorites in your tweets is a one million? One million views.
Starting point is 00:18:06 Hague is probably baffled. Yeah. Yeah. He should laugh my ass up, but really I know deep down. He's not laughing at all. He's sucking his teeth. Yo, Nero, you're still one of my favorite fucking players, man. Nero de Nero.
Starting point is 00:18:28 But you need to stop with this, like, digital age. You need to go out to a bar and pick yourself up a nice. Hit up one of your old high school crushes, man. They're probably, you know, like, they're probably, you know, like, they're probably. single hopefully for you man stop stop if she's got a twitter you can't fuck with her that's the rule go find yourself a nice little ting that doesn't work in the space at all it never works that's true no offense to anybody here who is that is true could have just flew her out you should have been like let me buy you a flight anything yeah dude buy a flight dude look at this be straight
Starting point is 00:19:01 foe yeah what is this shut some more digital fucking e-sex shit click that click that this you look to me she's like what's e-sex and I was like, I won't be honest, I don't even know what it is either. You like just wank it to an image or what? Like, I don't want to know, actually. I prefer to say old school in that department. Sources Boston Amit entering a partnership with Boston breach.
Starting point is 00:19:28 I don't know if this is true. Sources have reported that Omit has reached an agreement with the ownership of, dude, no comments. There's so much shit happening. Holy fuck. Yeah, there's a lot. Yeah, this one was it. Dude, there's so many people.
Starting point is 00:19:44 Like, I almost feel like, I almost, like I told Zini, I'm like, yo, there's too much talent out there to, to not pick up some ex-pros to help Renegade get to where Renegade needs to get to. You know what I'm saying? So, damn, damn. I mean, what would you, what would you do for Huntsman right now? You were working with him. What? No, it wasn't. Oh, you stopped working with him?
Starting point is 00:20:11 I mean, like, kind of like... Who's he? City? Yeah, Zinn's kind of like, you know, making the roster moves. I mean... Yeah, he's like, he caught you guys out of it? I don't know if it's... That's G-MG-1.
Starting point is 00:20:21 I don't know if it's because, like, the challengers stuff, like, for whatever reason, my interest in challengers has just gone down drastically. Yeah. Whatever that may be, whether it be, because when you go to the majors, the only thing you can really, like, get super into is the pro league. Yes. And the culmination of all the online matches and stuff, like, you don't really know it. I'm like getting updates from my chat.
Starting point is 00:20:41 You know like Huntspin are here here I'm like okay I'll try to watch now, but Whatever reason I'm just less interested in it Sucks but and then maybe it could be like we just lost our original Huntsman roster and I felt like truly Yeah yeah yeah that we felt like we kind of yeah yeah that's definitely it And now we've got new players and like kind of in the challenger cycle so yeah and I'm I still I still want the best for John of course I still you know think John has a great feature in cod but I haven't really spoken to him in a while I might send him a text in just see where his heads at but I mean, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:21:12 All right, the pit EU. I've heard that that much of a surprise entirely true. So this is Challenger's Intel. Again, who is this? Okay. It will completely kill the scene if they went ahead with it. Latin is the only true way to prove your ability. Online resources are completely farcical.
Starting point is 00:21:27 Nice. Just host horse and good PCs isn't sometimes hacking. Sure. And then Ben says, don't know how that makes much sense, considering open bracket participation and spectator funnel is big for Dreamhack. how does it not make sense? The league doesn't want to have to pay the cost of Challenger's events, especially if it's, it has been evidently clear.
Starting point is 00:21:46 Yes, that's evidently clear. They made the host team pay costs in the past and wouldn't contribute towards it. They have subsidized challengers' lands costs enough since the league started. Yeah, but that was self-inflicted. They chose to do it that way. This is what CDLEFG need to find a little sponsor Xbox LOL for Challenger. I agree with that 100%, whether it's Xbox or PlayStation, even though they're now call it duty sold by Xbox.
Starting point is 00:22:09 They gotta have lands I agree with that They gotta have lands When was the last time Like PlayStation or Xbox Like Before the league Before the league
Starting point is 00:22:18 Yeah Bofour I think Yeah But I'm saying they were like involved They were part of Sony Okay Like the CWL I think Okay
Starting point is 00:22:26 Yeah that's why I was on That's why I was on PlayStation Yeah And like It was Was it ran better Like Oh
Starting point is 00:22:33 I don't know if that's actually Like the problem Like What they're trying to say Is like If you look at like a challenger space, that's a lot of PCs, that's a lot of setups, that's a lot of space
Starting point is 00:22:43 at a venue, that's got to be expensive. The shipping is expensive. And then it's like, how is that, like, turning profit in that little area? The challengers event and Dreamhack, did that make any money help? There's no way. The team pass price. Yeah, like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:22:57 I mean, yeah, I could say, I could definitely see it. I get it, but they got to have lands. If there's no lands for the amateur players, it's like, I mean, yeah. There's like so many problems. Can you imagine if there wasn't land. plans for that you're just completely like the pro am though this is this is really really important for I think the challenger space as a whole just to give some validity to the teams and players like if they go to this major and even two of them beat their first round that is massive yes for the just general it's just everything for the challenger scene it'll be good for the players on those teams we're good for the teams like the orgs and what is what is the four how are the four teams getting there's already two there's already two that are the two teams will play in the finals are guaranteed to go and then What, one, there's one if you win the next elite?
Starting point is 00:23:42 Yeah, I don't know. I don't know exactly. I think if you have to win the next elite. Two from online, then two that were played in the final. So the all Saudi team, that team's going to be kind of, that's my team to watch. I think that they, even though they lost the first. They Bush make it? No.
Starting point is 00:23:55 It was Beans' team and it was a P7. But like they lost Afro now. So like an Afro was frying. So I don't know. So it's probably what? Winner of N. And the EU elite? Maybe that sounds like it could be it.
Starting point is 00:24:07 Yeah. Oh, it's going to be a little warden. That's how they could be it. But the thing is, if they get rid of challengers, then... What happens to all of them? Well, no, just make every single event a pro a M. Start getting us towards that structure that we've all been asking for. If they're going to get rid of challengers, just make it more of an opportunity for them to play on the big stage.
Starting point is 00:24:32 Or, yeah, that could be something too as well. Raleigh, is there a, is there like a way to look? Is there also a challengers event at this thing? besides the pro am or is it just the I doubt it right I don't know I don't think I don't think pro I am the there's open there is okay there is a challenge open okay but there isn't though and I'm gonna tell you why because some of it is streamed some of it
Starting point is 00:24:55 and it doesn't matter who is on there like I think I think that there is something to be said about oh challenge is elite EMEA season 3 winner okay so that's right yeah so it's just yeah two winners I mean shit that match that finals match is about to be a battle, both of them. Yeah. Winner gets to play against the pros. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:17 So we got Rock Esports, P7. Okay, so where's, are any of these Saudi teams? Yeah, Rock. Rock is a full Saudi team. Okay, and then P7 is the one with Beans. It's an English squad, right? Yeah. That's dope.
Starting point is 00:25:31 Well, Afro was on that team, right? Yeah, they had some in Aft players, too, I think. I think they had like Vivid as well. Yeah. Was it Vivid? I don't remember. I don't remember. I saw Afro and Beans.
Starting point is 00:25:40 So the Huntsman's only chance to get in this is the N.A. They have to win the elite. Which is fucking, that's hard enough as it is. And for it to be their only avenue to play in the pro-I-M? Yeah, there it is. DiamondCon. Eric Boom. Yeah, I mean, it sounds like they're just spot up on this roster too now.
Starting point is 00:26:00 Yeah. Because Afro's probably going to Boston, so. Someone's just getting blessed. Somebody's going to get blessed. Pick me up. I'll play. I mean, there's probably a lot of people that are down to sketching their team now. They know there's a guaranteed pro-hams.
Starting point is 00:26:13 100%. Everyone. 100%. 100%. Like, no one's really safe. If you're not, if you're a pro player down there and you like, say your beans, for example, don't you look around and say, let's build the, like the ex-pros. As soon as I figure, as soon.
Starting point is 00:26:27 I'll be plotting like, all right, well, motherfucker's got to start sketching or dropping. Let's build a super, a super challenger scene. I'm getting pro-lute. Like, it is what it is. I'd be coming to the event heavy hitter squad. You have to. I'd be trying to get everybody. Because like Matt said, I mean, you win two matches make the bracket.
Starting point is 00:26:49 I'm trying to think of like Pro Am's in the recent past. Last year, did anybody make it? I can't remember, did any of the, because we saw EWC. We saw an upset. We saw EWC. Yeah, several upsets at EWC. That's where Craze and Mamba came out. But yeah, pro AM is a great opportunity for these teams.
Starting point is 00:27:12 You know? It's going to be fun, man. I can't wait. This kind of shit I can get down with. Yeah, it's just, it just makes it so much. Like, having an underdog story, like, you root for these challengers players to come out, have a crazy one. Like, again, it's just the format. It needs change.
Starting point is 00:27:30 I just wish every event was like this where challengers players actually had a chance to really prove themselves. Because, yeah, like, playing in challengers, you know, you're still playing good competition. But you got to take it with a great assault because we've seen. players play in the league get shit on, then go down to challengers and look like fucking LeBron. Yeah, but that's obvious, right? Come back up and get shit on and go back to them.
Starting point is 00:27:52 Yeah, but that's obvious because there's a middle, there's a middle ground, right? Like, there's a middle ground and it should point towards the difference of what it actually takes to be a pro player because even ex-pro players aren't even pro players anymore. And yeah, they go down and fucking shit on all the, all the true AMs, right? But that's the way it's supposed to be.
Starting point is 00:28:08 Of course, you know what I'm saying? It's like, if I send fucking skumper jumper here to he hit dingers against fucking seventh graders what do you think is going to dominate this guy? Going yard Yard Faker to be honored with his own commemorative stamp in South Korea
Starting point is 00:28:24 I mean God like you gotta be like This guy's the man bro Should have took that offer You should have that off of you want him Yeah we gotta go bro Wait wait wait That's not the actual But it's a goat
Starting point is 00:28:38 He would be the first East sports players To receive an honor that recognizes historical figures and other milestones. That's good, man. Well deserved. What a fucking tank. That's crazy. So he just runs South Korea.
Starting point is 00:28:50 Sure. He runs that whole... All of it. That part of the world? All of it. Yeah. He's him, dude. China, Japan.
Starting point is 00:28:58 I mean... United States. Yeah, he's that guy. Even in North Korea, they're fucking with him. Yeah. I know they're not fucking with soccer. In North, they're still fucking with. Kim Jong-Ur Jr.
Starting point is 00:29:08 What's his name? Joe Zinn told me about that. I was in tears. The new one? It was Kim Jong-Luna, and then there's this one. What's this guy's name? Bro, I haven't even been able to keep up with Kyle. Do you think I'm keeping up with world events?
Starting point is 00:29:20 Well, no, this happened like years ago. They got to make another movie and then I'll know. Yeah, right? They're real fucking Paul Franco. Paul Franco? Yeah. How else Paul? Dave? No, isn't it Paul Franco?
Starting point is 00:29:32 James Franco? Yeah. Paul Franco's an old friend of mine from high school. Who is Paul? Shout out Paul Franco. Yeah, right there. I might have to watch this. James Franco.
Starting point is 00:29:40 That would be so tough. What? They hate us. Because they aid us. Does he live at Baker Tower? I feel like wearing a simple apartment life. Yeah, yeah. That's that.
Starting point is 00:29:48 Why do I have that thought as well? Like one bedroom 750 square feet. Who? He's a billionaire. Baker. Like he's not living in some mansion. He's just living in some like standard apartment and he just goes to his little tower. His little tower.
Starting point is 00:30:00 He goes to Faker Tower. Bro. What? He just sits at home and then comes back. He walks in and there's only like a gaming setup. And it is like his. Faker towel. It's like literally like nobody's a lot to touch it.

Starting point is 00:35:42 just fucking went jacked out of notch right there for me I would have quit the game, put out of the cheating. I'm done with this shit. Went back down a notch. I would have called the guy in his name by name. I would have been like, yo, this dude fucking was it. Blast by the Cathedral in St.C.S. opening live. Case opening?
Starting point is 00:35:58 Did I miss read that? Oh, oh. Oh, I love when they did that shit. He pulls a gold. Oh. That shit's so fire, man. And I just know, like, a dev is back. like, yeah, bang.

Starting point is 00:36:37 So guess. Face missed a CS major for the first time in 16 years. What the? It's not a clickable link. Just in Face Clan are not going to IAM. Colon Major. Is this the end of the face as we know them? Come on. See, that's what I mean dude. What in the AIDS picture? Why?
Starting point is 00:36:53 That they used. Yeah. I don't think that was happening. Is that what happened? No. No, no. I mean, he lost something there, but... God, I was so old. Yeah. Who's on Fais's CS team now? It's... Kerrigan, because they made changes, right?
Starting point is 00:37:08 Carrigan... I have no fucking idea. Is Twist back on the team? Brokey, Brokey, some shot. I have no idea. I don't watch CS in a minute. He plays CS2. No way. I knew it. Yeah, apparently they're shut.
Starting point is 00:37:27 Okay, so they still have like a couple of the players that were on the... Yeah, they lost that one kid, long time ago. Rops. That kid's disgusting. Yeah. Yeah. He's on vitality now. That guy's disgusting. Yeah, he is. But that's kind of insane.
Starting point is 00:37:39 16 years? Yeah, that's kind of nuts. I mean, it's bound to happen eventually, right? Shit. I don't really know the ecosystem behind Counterstrike, though, like... Yeah, they have no idea. How many matches did they have? to play to qualify for the major. It was probably
Starting point is 00:37:52 like, no fucking idea. Probably a good amount. There's like so many, dude, you can go on Twitch right now and just see like some random CS tournament. That's my always been my problem with like viewing it unless there's like a major going on. Yes, I don't know. I don't know what the fuck's going on, dude. Their play in stage will be like two weeks long. I get that. I get that. I get that. It feels like a, like a
Starting point is 00:38:09 Olympic sort of like thing, the storyline that you keep, the, uh, 10 years. 16 consecutive majors all is over. It's just another random pick. Yeah, like, Why are they like, like I get it, man. Like, I get, I get that we need those. Like, I say that too. Like, I'll get a thumbnail from Matt.
Starting point is 00:38:25 And I be like, Matt, does this, does the emotion of the people in this fucking thumbnail match the fucking title? And if it doesn't, then why? Why didn't, you know what I'm saying? Like, I do that too. I get it. It's for the clicks. I tell them it's like, use a sadder picture. Yo, this shit's crazy.
Starting point is 00:38:45 The Artemis, dude, I went on Twitch yesterday and there was a live stream of them just slowly moving towards the moon. You say it. You think it's slowly. The people who pass it around? Well, yeah, but like it just obviously relative. It looks like they're not even, it looks like a still image, but they're going like 20,000 miles per hour or some crazy shit, whatever it is. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:04 Yeah. I think it was like 20,000 kilometers an hour, which don't even ask. Which obviously is like 63 miles per hour. Yeah, I don't know what that is. I don't know either. But what is this? What was the point of us going right now? Like, where do this come from?
Starting point is 00:39:18 It's a trial run. It's a trial run to make sure that, you know, everything's cool for us to actually go. To call? Yeah, to, no, maybe to actually land on the moon and start spreading our seed on that molecule. Make a moon base? Make a moon base. I thought you were saying like Mars.
Starting point is 00:39:34 No, no, no, no. This is purely, well, listen, whatever it is that they're saying, it's not why. Because this would probably be the way to get to Mars, right? I mean, I've watched enough sci-fi movies to know the slingshod method. Yeah, of course. Same. I've watched enough. They use the gravity.
Starting point is 00:39:50 Yeah. Do one burn, build the speed around it. They don't have to use as much fuel. Yeah, there you go. So is this like... Yes. Yeah, look at that. The foundation.
Starting point is 00:40:01 The foundation to the first crude mission to Mars, I guess is just to like last... I don't know. We need a moon base. But let's think about this, though, okay? Let's think about this. You're telling me, when did we land on the moon, Riley? 1969. He knows that by heart, by the way.
Starting point is 00:40:14 It's full of facts. Full of facts. And back then we were able to transmit video. video footage to Earth, but we couldn't, but how? We didn't have, like, not buying it, no buying it. It was built in a Hollywood basement. The inconsistency of the shadows.
Starting point is 00:40:32 Straight green screen. Straight green screen work, dude. I don't know. This was insane though. They literally live streamed it on Twitch. I think Neil Armstrong is full of wax. Yeah, right? What's that bit rate looking like?
Starting point is 00:40:44 Yeah, exactly. They're pulling it from the satellites, I'm sure. What was it? 240P back then? You're telling me that you were able to broadcast 240p from the moon, but you weren't able to broadcast 480p from the Olympics? I'm not buying it. I'm not buying it.
Starting point is 00:40:58 I'm not buying shit. I was watching like one of the crew members work on the spaceship just hanging out in the outer space just unlatching shit. And I'm like, holy fuck, that looks crazy. Yeah. Like, bro, if that shit, you disconnect. If your little umbilical cord gets disconnected. You know what I'm saying? And it wasn't like a latch where it like goes on and locks.
Starting point is 00:41:17 It was just like a. Like you're climbing up shit. like you just latch it on and go up and it wasn't like a locked one with a lock and i just watched a movie called gravity have you guys seen that yes with santa blot yeah he just beat the most walk what is it the untaned um untanned um untethered like yeah walk yeah space walk too george cluny yeah not to uh change the subject i know some people get pissed but did you guys see like the story of how we like saved our trap soldier and shit.
Starting point is 00:41:51 No. You didn't see that? They found him? Yeah, both of them. Hell. What? How? You didn't?
Starting point is 00:41:56 No, I've been in a hole. Literally me and cloud co-work are fucking building the next generation of technologies that we are going. I'm literally about to become a super entrepreneur. Like where they crash, they have like mountain bridges. So they like, our jets like fly in between the mountain ranges so like the radar doesn't
Starting point is 00:42:15 pick them up. I've seen this moment. But in order for them the bomb. They have to fly up. So the flew up. One of the jets got hit, like two of them or whatever. They both fighter ejected out. One landed close.
Starting point is 00:42:25 One landed far. They got the close guy quick. The other guy had to like fucking hike seven miles up to a mountain ridge. Like put on some like, yeah, like click this thing where they get his location live. They started like he's on a mountain like right here. And they have this guy trapped from both sides. And we got planes coming in like fucking warthawks. Like crazy.
Starting point is 00:42:46 It's like the covenant. We fucking blew up $100 million worth of planes to save one person Good They'd do it again They're gonna make a movie They should have asked them There's like hey, all right y'all hey listen
Starting point is 00:42:59 Hector American soldier Hector Rodriguez Hey you're Trump Listen it's either we save you Or we spend a lot of taxpayer money Including yours Well I like to live Hey that's I'd rather go to that shit
Starting point is 00:43:14 No man left behind What would you pick Seth? What do you mean? Would you rather be saved, guaranteed, or save how much money? A hundred million? A hundred million dollars with the planes. I don't give a fuck. How much it spends?
Starting point is 00:43:27 Save my ass. But we put money towards it and you're like... Listen, that's something I can get behind. That's right. That's me too. Fucking no man left behind. That's something I can get behind. But if it was me, I'd be like, half.
Starting point is 00:43:44 Let's blow up one plane and give me 25%. I'll be like this. I'll be like this. How much is it? $100 million? I'll tell you what? If I get out of here, you give me 20 and you don't vote up enough. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:43:54 Now we're dealing. Now we're dealing. Seth was like, fuck those hundred million. Get me. Bro, what are you guys talking about? You'd want to be saved? You wouldn't want to save the United States some money? Bro, what?
Starting point is 00:44:06 Get me out of there. It's literally hell. You're in the desert? Of course. Getting hunted? Hunted on foot by the enemy. To get tortured. I cannot wait to see that moor.
Starting point is 00:44:17 Yeah. Fucking. They get their hands on you, brother. It is over. I'd make that deal to be the 20. No. No monetary doesn't fucking matter. Bro, they don't understand.
Starting point is 00:44:33 You couldn't get, I couldn't get back here from Dallas. It's like, how don't fuck am I going to get out of those mountains? Bro. With what? With what? There's no water? Where am I going to go water from? I'm a great survivalist.
Starting point is 00:44:44 That's like the definition of like. It's worse, dude. You're about to, it's like, it's worse because one, you don't want to get caught because of what comes next. The torture. So you're literally on high, like, dude, the way bigger, whatever, what do you say is more men than me for sure. I couldn't do it. That's literal. Yeah.

Listen, I wish I liked something that much right now. I've actually been kind of fucking with a war zone a little bit. Fun being honest. There you go.

Starting point is 00:46:45 the cost of the circumstances and weren't. it was. I can't get into too much specifics, but it was, um, it was elaborating on some stuff that we'd asked for and it was important to get this person in a secure setting to where we could ask him these questions. And there was, there was somebody in the meeting with us. In the meeting. I guess you'd say, um, was basically there just to kind of upset the apple cart and to throw, you know, a monkey wrench into the deal. And every time the question was asked by this particular party, it was really
Starting point is 00:47:19 the answers were out there and they gave them and they gave specifics, they gave addresses, they gave times and dates and people that were in the meeting and this went all the way up to the executive branch of previous presidents, not this current president. Can they show
Starting point is 00:47:35 us one of these fucking aliens, dude? We've seen them. No, we haven't. Some reports that there have been pieces of machinery that were found that did not seem earthly. And then there have been reports about life that is not early. It is all fucking W-W-E, man.
Starting point is 00:47:56 I feel like this is us trying to interview. It's all W-W-E, man. Bro. I mean, bro. I'm so down for anything. No, I'm bad, bro. I'm so down, too. Like, can they just fucking release or just show a photo of one they have captive already?
Starting point is 00:48:10 Like, I know they have one. I just don't just take a photo. Like, holy shit. It's just a little bit more of the same fucking. bullshit, dude. You know, they got one? Like, bro, I know you guys have one captive. You just go look at it through a little mirror.
Starting point is 00:48:23 Make sure you're still in there. Bro, hopefully it's not like some boring little, like, it's just a little molecule. A fucking blob. We found an alien. It's a blob. If he goes inside of you, it turns into venom, though. I mean. Dude.
Starting point is 00:48:39 You love this shit. I do, but I'm actually starting, maybe it's because of my age. And I'm just getting sick of everything, right? I'm 46 years old Tell me I don't give off I already know that the excess Just show me Yeah let's see them

Starting point is 00:49:42 these people are these people How do you fight that? The soldiers are still alive. No one knows where he is, though. I guess he must be with the aliens. They must be in the zero. How do they know that he's still alive? Half human, half stone.
Starting point is 00:49:56 It's getting probed. It's like fucking Narnia when they walk into the ice, which is shit, and it's just a bunch of statues. You know what I'm saying? Just a much stone statues. Dude, where is my MLG fucking fleece? Actually, that's a windbreaker. Where is that?

Starting point is 00:50:31 They're like a human? Not a human, but you can tell they're an alien, but they somewhat resemble a human. Like tentacles, maybe? I don't know. What is this hex? as a collector, is this too much? Never changed bar stool big head.
Starting point is 00:50:48 I say Buffalo Bill's former high mark stadium gets torn down. Some of the most iconic pieces from Bill's history are up for grabs, including the actual bathroom thoughts. Bathroom troughs? Oh, yeah. What? Arrived this morning. Can't wait to install it. I love you.

Starting point is 00:51:16 Big cat. What are you going to do with it? You bought this or you? Hold on. You're telling me that you bought this so that when people come over to your house and everybody's having like a fucking cookout and people got to go to the bathroom, they all go at the same time like on the same thing?

If I was pissing there, that would be my goal. Yeah, but I'd just be cleaning it. But imagine you get a little splatter that you don't even see,
Starting point is 00:52:30 and then all of a sudden it's just like 40-year-old. Like my piss, grab it off the wall and bounce back. Oh, man. Yeah, no, that's insane. The fact that they're even selling that. Kanye's return has been so insane. Wow. I'm good, Bradley.
Starting point is 00:52:46 Let's go to questions. Cool. God damn. Who sold out SoFi Stadium and $33. Sold out Sofi Stadium. Yeah. What do you think it feels like
Starting point is 00:52:59 when he's standing right there? Like he's on top of the world? That's insane, dude. The stage setup is crazy. Yeah, that is fire. No, that's, I mean, what do you expect? He's on the moon. From a creative genius like him.
Starting point is 00:53:14 33 million now? Woo-wee. What's the last time you made 33 in a weekend? Like last year? Yeah, yeah. Something light. Some light. Something light.
Starting point is 00:53:24 Chat GPT, open AICEO reaction to chat. Chappo's hallucinating in real time. Oh, shit. What? I bet you anthropic is over there. Like, ha, ha, ha, ha. Me, how long it takes, okay, when I say go. I'll be ready.
Starting point is 00:53:40 Just say go when you start and I'll keep track. Okay, ready, go. Okay, I'm back. Welcome back. I've got your time right here. How do you feel about that moment? How long was it? You clocked in at around 10 minutes and 12.
Starting point is 00:54:03 I swear I was faster than that. Sometimes it feels faster in the moment. Do you need to show that to your product guys? No, no, that's a known issue. Maybe another year. Another year? Something like that works well. What's that known issue?
Starting point is 00:54:20 That model doesn't have, that model, that voice model doesn't have tools to like start a timer or anything like that. Oh, Sam Altman, we can't hear you. And he didn't say that loud enough because you said it with a lack of confidence. That model doesn't have that model, that voice model doesn't have tools to like start a time or anything like that. But we'll add the intelligence into. Like if you, if you're not able to. But what if the guy actually did go and run it at as fast as he fucking could as Hugh as his ability allowed him to?
Starting point is 00:54:50 What if it was exactly that? and it didn't need to have you actually run your full potential to know your full potential was 10 minutes and 30 seconds. We don't know. That's what I would. If I was Sam Altman, that's what I would have said. I'm so confused though.
Starting point is 00:55:03 The chat GPT hallucinated? Yeah. I think that's more click-bitty than anything. No, no, it's called hallucinations. It sounds like the timer just fucked up. Well, I mean, it makes sense. Like, I could see why it fucked up. He just talked to something in his phone,
Starting point is 00:55:17 took off sprinting for five seconds, came back and asked it. Probably, yeah, it was tweaking. Maybe he was being sarcastic. Dude, wow, those, you took a while, dude, 10 minutes. You can only pick three condiments to use for the rest of your life. Which are you choosing? Ranch. Ranch.
Starting point is 00:55:36 Ranch. What's, what are you? Condiments. Rants, ketchup. And probably like a mayo. I'm with you on that one. Yeah, that was my one. Mayo, mustard, and ketchup.

You can make that with you can make that with you can make that with ketchup Meo and mustard if you throw a little bit in there Mayo ketchup a little bit of mustard a little bit branch I'm thinking about like Asian food too I can't eat like sushi with like any of those No soy sushi no soy would suck wait wait wait wait wait wait let's think about this
Starting point is 00:56:11 Mustard mustard the cheap sushi if you tell you a little bit of mustard instead of a Instead of what do you call it instead of what? Wasabi yeah I don't use wasabi either way I fucking love wasabi I'm probably going ranch I'm not I'm just going Taking ranch For like a lot of the shit I eat I use ranch

Starting point is 00:57:12 Philosophy is his name. Is there anything as a kid you thought you'd never be into that as an adult you now love? For me, it'd be golf. thought it was boring as a kid. That's a good question. I like that one. I feel like I learn a lot more stuff now. It's a great question.
Starting point is 00:57:29 I didn't give a fuck about in school. Like learning about space and shit? Yeah. If I do it on my own time, I'll pay attention. But if I did it in school, I wasn't pay attention at all. Same. That's really the number one. Whenever I want to learn something now as an adult, I will do it.
Starting point is 00:57:42 Yeah. That's fair. Um. The thing is, is I don't need eight hours to learn shit. I don't really know. I went to school to fucking. That's a really great question though. Pick up.
Starting point is 00:57:57 I actually want to answer this one. Huh? I'm trying to think my brain is fucking turned off right now, bro. That I know. I can't really think of anything right now. Oh, I know. Plants. Garden.
Starting point is 00:58:12 Well, actually, I've always had a green thumb. My mom always had plants. I got nothing, bro. Warring as a kid. Because I didn't really think much was. Vibe coding, dude. Like, I never thought was going to be. Oh, fuck.
Starting point is 00:58:34 Yeah, I don't really got an answer to that. That's a fucking hard question. That's a real noodle provoker right there. And his name's philosophy. This guy's a deep thinker. Yeah, I would say. Well, but his is so simple. It's golf.
Starting point is 00:58:46 Yeah, like, I mean. Like documentaries, I guess, maybe. Oh, okay. Yeah, that makes sense. You didn't watch any documentaries growing up? No, but right now I'll watch a documentary. What I wish I was into now in this day and age that I was,
Starting point is 00:58:58 into in high school. Like, I read a lot in high school, like books on books, but we didn't have the internet back then, so maybe that would have changed something. But, like, I think I'd like, like, some sci-fi books, Z for Sakariah. I'd like to read that again. My initial, what I was going to say is I haven't done it yet,
Starting point is 00:59:15 but I feel like something I like, like, fishing, space, whatever, planes. Like, I can listen to a book. I wouldn't be able to read one, like, in hand, but I can drive and listen. one for sure. Yeah, same. I can't I can't read right now. I'll be in the middle of a paragraph
Starting point is 00:59:34 and then all of a sudden a single sentence sends my brain into like a whoa, what if we... Then I'm back on. What the fuck was I reading just now? You have ADHD, bro. Severe. Some say. All right, that's a good one. Did everybody ask? What are you? I genuinely can't think of an answer to that.
Starting point is 00:59:50 Philosophy, I love that question. Because as a kid, I didn't really... You feel so final right now? He's like I stumped. He probably does. I think is a great question. I don't really think much was boring as a kid, so it's like, and I don't really have any hobbies right now that I wasn't doing as a kid, so it's like, I don't really know. That's a fucking good one. Like, what am I doing right now that I didn't do back then?
Starting point is 01:00:10 Yeah, I've been doing the same shit for- Same. Ever. Painting train still. You know, like, fucking drawing still. Fucking playing call duty still. Maybe a fucking good old nap. You? I already said, man.
Starting point is 01:00:23 Which is? I said learning. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. That's a good one, philosophy. Shield says, what's the oldest age you would want to live until or you want to live as long as possible? Give me 87. I'll do 87.
Starting point is 01:00:36 Until I start feeling like, just until I start like feeling the effects. Without pain. Until I'm no longer getting up out of bed. Yeah. Until my like leg stopped working, shit like that. What about anyone help me like day to day? Just. Yeah, I'm not going to.
Starting point is 01:00:53 Wipe my ass. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Once it's time to wash me up and shit, just. just yeah man get me out of the ass yeah you know what there should be a service okay like if you're
Starting point is 01:01:04 I was gonna go I chat this is let my brain let my let my let my ADHD brain fucking have its moment okay
Starting point is 01:01:14 this is the sort of thing that my brother would just say without any thought about how whether people are gonna take it or can't believe hacks has these sort of thoughts they come
Starting point is 01:01:20 they give you a gum of cinnamon they pry your mouth open they just dump cinnamon in your mouth I mean that's just torture at that point I mean, it's time for you to go. You just want to go out in a spicy fucking... A cinnamon mountain.
Starting point is 01:01:35 Right, that would be awful. Where I was going is that... Dust coming out with this. What I was going is like, you know, let's say, you know, you're old, right? Like, 83, 90. You don't want to go out on a bed, right? You just don't... That's not the way that you foresee.
Starting point is 01:01:50 I personally have always said, if I have a choice between dying of fucking painful cancer where everybody around me is a fucking just I'm a burden to everyone or fighting a great white shark let me fight a great white shark in the water and then that way
Starting point is 01:02:05 would you rather just fucking lame or would you rather you too and so say what if you died fighting a shark in this shit that's kind of how I want to go out just you know it's crazy this is before AI but it looks
Starting point is 01:02:23 AI as fuck no bro because what if you get what if the shark just it kills you in four bites but it one arm the next arm then the leg it lets you float for like two minutes you're just like ah yeah but but think about this think about this in your wikipedia page it's gonna say he passed in you know 2045 fighting a shark the shark died also it wasn't like shark attack it was like died in a shark fight yeah he he he did the shark looked at him in fucking sideways and shit I dove into the ocean. Actually, now that I think about it. Or I kind of went that on my tunes. I'm saying. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 01:03:03 Go out in a blaze of glory. Hell yeah. That's what I'm saying. If somebody says, you literally got like two weeks to live, I'd be like, all right, next week,
Starting point is 01:03:09 the week where I'm cool, I'm going to hang out with live with live with all the family, blah, I'm going to live, you with my family. But then the last week, I am going to try every drug imaginable and then on the seventh day
Starting point is 01:03:20 I'm fighting a shark. In a shark cage. Holy shit. That'd be a shark cage. And I leave the, and I'm like, You think you'd want to train a little bit? You're just going to go on a drug escapade and then fucking try to fight the apex
Starting point is 01:03:32 You're going to die regardless. Like, boom, it's done. You don't know that. Bro, my left day would be a moot. You don't know that. You wake up, rob a bank. Yeah, okay. You steal a police car.
