He says Yolo in the sense that fuck it. I say Yolo and I'm very precautious. Yolo. You know, Bolo. You're like, lock up the fucking house.

We only do live once. It's true. So yesterday. There are different connotations of the meaning of Yolo. Welcome to episode number 12. 12 of the Optic podcast.

Hitch is going to bring us in. But first. So I see we're going to get The CDL player's fine today. That's the route we're taking. You know what's crazy? It's what I told. That's what I told Dashie.

I'm like, I'm going to get you guys fine today. I'm going to ask all the tough questions and need answers. The people look to us to get the information. Oh, man. I'm a juke that. Okay. Tell us about your smelling experience really quickly because I see that you match with the candle.

And now that you have like your sense of smell back, not fully, but your sense of smell back, like you're now starting to light up a lot of candles. I'm stocking up on candles. It's like I just. bury my face in a kid. Like, if I have, like, a spare two seconds, I just...

Wait, so how long have you, how long have you had the ability to smell again? Like, four, three... Yesterday was my first full day of being able to smell. I know you probably put your face in, like, a booster pack. Like a good. The Pokemon? Yeah. No, I did not smell...

They smell, like, carpacks? You smell good? Here's a question. Did you smell anything bad? I have you, like, holy shit, the shirt smells like poop. I haven't smelled anything bad. yet. Yes. It's weird because probably stuff that you think, you

think smells bad, I think smells good. Um, my taint. No. You sure about that? Not like, obviously. Obviously not shit like that. But like, whenever you guys go with you have hands.

You do it backwards though. You go like, just for a second. Just for a second. It's like, Jesus. No, you do the backwards one though. You three weeks. Oh my God. Put it next much over. Yeah. We're right off track. Okay, we're right off track again. All right, sorry to make fun of that.

But it's like, it's super weird. I've obviously, like I can't imagine a world in which I can't smell. Like today, for example, I have my yearly moly from my mom. My mom, always for my birthday, makes me this one dish. Once a year, she makes this dish. My siblings hate it because she only cooks it. Moli is an interesting flavor. What is Mola?

Molle is, it's like, so we decided yesterday it's like chicken parm, but Mexican. I'm going to tell you why. There's spaghetti or rice, but I do the spaghetti. And then there's chicken, and then there's a red sauce on top of it. Okay. There's no cheese. Oh, there is cheese on the spaghetti. Okay.

But the salsa itself, it's made with peanuts and different chilis. It's sometimes very spicy and sometimes it's like not spicy at all. Would you say it's an interesting flavor? No. Have you ever had the one? I'm going to bring you a plate. I've had Molle before. Not my mom's Moll.

My mom's Mollah. I feel like they're all very different. Yeah. It depends on the region. of Mexico that you're from. Sorry. Continue on with your story. What was I saying? Smelling. How long has it been in? Oh yeah. So I could smell it hit when I was 18. Explain to everybody what your condition is. The reason that you sound like you're, you're, you have a boogies. Uh, so I have chronic sinus sinusitis with pretty severe nasal

polyps is what it's called. It's basically just nothing works in this area. Um, so the way that It's not a permanent fix, but they just gave me a bunch of steroids, which takes down the swelling. So not those different different type of steroids. Have your testicle shrunk yet? No, also different type of steroids. Good job. If anything, I'd still be like, fuck smelling, right?

Like if it was, that was the case. So, yeah, so I can, yesterday was my first full day of smelling since I was 18. I believe. And you're old now? 28. So 10 years. A decade long without tasting food, really. Yeah, I tasted a bacon wrap from a cookout in 2013 or 2014.

But you can't taste either? No, but I've been able to taste the last three days. Oh, my God. I literally haven't been not full for two days. Every single time I can put something in my mouth, it goes in. Dude. It's true. Pause.

Pause. Pop top. So. So what's crazy is that the day that it started, I was vlogging, and somebody had, Matt had Ty from Best Tie. He's like, let me taste, let me taste it. So you grabbed the spoon. He was just like mind-blown.

And then he's like, Roger, open up a Red Bull. He tasted that. He's like, oh, my God, he grabbed everything in sight. He was like putting in, you know, in his body trying to smell this thing. It was crazy. So you haven't had. Well, I've seen him have back at the scuff house when you could smell for a little bit. And you were like, oh, my God.

You were like running around looking for sure. That was when I smelled the peanut butter. Yeah. And I just. Yeah. And he was like running around grabbing things like, oh my God, I can smell. Yeah. So is the fix?

Like how can we make it permanent? What can we do? So I got a CT scan yesterday. So they did. They're going to look at all my sinuses. And then I have a follow up with the actual doctor on the 17th. And then it's probably, he's probably just going to be like surgery time. And I'm going to be like, yeah.

So then surgery and then we'll see. I'm interested to see if it makes my voice sound different. Because it's been so long since I got the surgery. What if you come on you, your voice is completely changed? Like, it's super high pitchers. Hey, hey, guys. Imagine.

It'd be so weird. George, Blake. My place is me. It's like not, not nasally at all. Like, that would be crazy. Yeah, I think that your tone won't change. The range of your tone won't change. Yeah.

But you will be able to say M. without saying it's like because I can say ems now better than I've been able to say them in 10 years

on stream I was just like mommy mommy mommy mommy when I used to be able to when I used to talk

into the the Apple thing to like Siri Siri would be like no Siri wouldn't understand me if there were ems

so I just did a podcast with scraps do you think Siri understands him because I I was having. And I am. No way. And look. No way. Sirius. I have like the English, the English cockney, like all that. Like that. I love that shit. I love that shit. I love that shit. So I have, doing the podcast with him was fun for two reasons. One, him and two, the way he was talking. The whole time I'm like, man, I wish I could talk like that. Yeah. I wish I could talk like that. Yeah. I was. There's zero chance that Siri could understand. I was wondering. Yeah. I love their actions. So do I. Like they're slang too. Super super dope. He was trying to teach me some. You know who really likes their accent? Drizzie. Drake?

Yeah. He went on a whole European Yeah, like a phase. And then he went, he went everywhere. He went Jamaican. He went European, he went Jamaican, he went like, I'm pretty sure

Is Brayley, I think, for a little bit. That's why he's going to go down as one of the greatest songwriters of all time, music songwriters of all time. He is the goat. Yeah, he's a songwriter. Just like Tom Brady. And he talked, I think he talked

I think he talked. I forget what language. No, it's a performer. But now you mention it. True. What are you saying? I forget. I forget.

But what's on the menu? I don't know. You read it. We're going to start off the podcast with one comment from the comment section down below. Wait, am I supposed to end or read this or is Davis? No, you can read it. Would you ever, from Ben's with the Z, would you ever consider picking up a content team or a bunch of single content creators and doing another content house like the scuff house? And if so, what would you do different?

I mean, I guess this is a direction or question direction. directed towards you. That's to all of us. Would you ever consider picking up a... I'm not... I don't... I'm not the one picking up a content team. You don't want to deal with people?

Huh? You don't want to deal with these little ass kids. That's not my role. I don't think we can recreate what we had. Content houses are dead. You think? Yeah. Not a home like houses.

Nah. Not if you do them properly. Who's doing them properly? I just... The Team 10s. No, that's what... Like all those, the... They're dead.

The TikTok. Talk houses. They're dead. Yeah, I don't know, I don't know necessarily about like, I think that there is a way, but it would have to be like a young wave of young creators that is willing to create content together. You know, it would have to be like, what happened there. Yeah.

With you guys. But with Newt, I mean, I don't think it can happen in Kot. Yeah. I'm going to tell you why it works, right? Like when the Googins did that thing, it worked. Good, good golf doing it. It's working. So it works.

it might not necessarily work in this space anymore. And I think it can do. What would I do different? I would pick up four up-and-comers and tell them from the beginning, you're here to make content for each other. Your job is to make sure that you are your best, not just for your content, but for his content,

for your boy's content. One of the things that we didn't do good at the scuff house or at 6050 was that we didn't go all out for each other's content, I think. I did at 1235, not at 6.305. 60-50. Well, no. 60-50 you were all competing against each other.

12-35, I was always in the context. But the problem with that is like, nobody could even make, like, talk shit to you or Matt or anybody else that was in there because you guys are like natural-born competitors, right? You guys compete for a living. So everything you have to look through the eye of competition, even, you know, competing against your very own. I don't know.

I think it was a weird time. I think that we could have all done a little thing, like something better. I think I could have been more assertive and tell you guys, hey, you, stop punching holes through doors. Put down, put down, put down the protein. Happened one time. You punched a hole in the door? In the door.

Was it in your jack's phase? Yes. God, that's so funny. Just HGH. Just HGH rate. HGH rate. I fucking. What happened?

I was like, I punched it and I said, you're lucky that wasn't your fucking face an Aed shot. Yeah, because he walked in like five a hand. He's like, dude, what do you mean? He's like, what do you mean? You're going to punch me? What were you two things? Wait, was that Zini or an Aadshot?

Both them. That was a good hybrid. Yeah. Thank you. But yeah, those were dark times. Those were, I mean, I was fucking just on the voids. I wasn't actually, but I acted like I was. Yeah.

Because I just had so much built-up testosterone. Fuck yeah. I almost. It was pent up, too. Yeah. I don't know. I don't think, I don't think, I think it could work. I would have to assess the situation in the content creators above all, like what it would be.

I would want to I don't know I think if I was to do it It would be a content And don't put any twist on this I literally mean this only from a content perspective Gaming perspective Like a team full of girls house content

Because that would be a sure way To see the true psychology of a girl Like the inner workers of a girl team I think it'd be good I think it could work It may not Has any girl team ever worked before I don't know

Has any guy team ever work? worked in what way? What are the parameters? I think being around each other that much but I think that's more of a human thing than just like this. It is. There's always going to be fights.

There's always going to be someone that pisses you off and it's always going to happen because everyone's different. That's why, I mean, even relationships with one other person and you're living together are fucking hard. Imagine eight other people. That's what I'm saying.

You always resent someone. You're like, pick up a shit. Who do you resent? from the scoff house everyone every single one of you nah that's not true every single one i guess it's not fucked i'm just you did the same thing who did you who did you i'm just i'm just joking did you rescind me mike and both you know who i resented fucking yes exactly that i'd be up i wake up like 7 a m in that fucking little gym and i'm like what the fuck is that noise i'd be downstairs with you i was like dude what is that

i go outside they're like we're playing ping pong i'm like dude it's 7 a m god i want to say the rest of it, but it's like, good, you keep it in the but like, when there's so much clutter, you kind of like pin it on everyone and that was one of my biggest,

like, gripes with the old house was that I just hate clutter and, like, messiness, and it depresses me, like, non-cleannliness. Yeah.

Like, I, my desk at home, like, if I even have, like, four drinks on there, I like... You hate yourself? Yeah, I'm like,

what the fuck? I'm my, I have to get this. But, like, yeah, just clutter would make me resent everyone. And it's going to happen at a gamer house. It's, yeah. It's a gamer house. I see

that all the time. Like, you guys should like do another 60-50 house and I'm thinking about it. I'm like, man, we're all in such different. I mean, you guys are all in such different times of your lives. Yeah. Like, yeah, how many? We're going to be, what, 45 in a gaming house? In a gaming house? I think it's not going to happen, right? I mean, we're all like,

we're all past that age. I feel like you have to be like, you have to be young. Like you said, young and up and coming and like hungry and yeah. Like, really wanting to dive deep into, like, content. And that's all that you do all day. You have to live for it. You want to be in it. You want to fall asleep on that

air mattress. None of us can just do that anymore. And it's weird that we were able to create something like this and still have like this sort of like crazy interaction that everybody comes in, hangs out and does that, but still has their own personal space too where if it's time to go it's time to go. Yeah, I love this dynamic a lot. Because I like look forward to coming here because I could see all my friends, but I don't live

with them every day. Right, right. It's like a little treat. It is perfect. How's it been setting your alarm now that Dashie has this own place? Amazing. Set it last night. There's nothing against you. It's just like one little thing like that.

Like not being able to set my alarm, piss me off. Yeah. As crazy as that sounds, I know, but I'm very particular about that. No, we know. About my routine and how things go, I'm very particular. I respect it. You never know. You never know.

Pretty bad neighborhood. Okay. You don't know. You don't know. Dog nappers are out there. I saw, you know what? I saw that the, I saw that the, I saw that the, the, uh, the, the j-walking has gone up in that neighborhood.

It's really going down to. Sure. There's Jaywalking. Listen, I'm very particular about what happens. I've heard there's some cigarette smokers there, too. You never know. Cigarette smokers? Yeah, in the corners.

Yeah. They walk around. I saw kids skating once. We put an end to that. Me and the homeowners. You broke his fucking skateboarding? No, I wouldn't do that. You never know.

Somebody else did. Oh my God. What an alpha. No, it's not that bad. Everyone makes fun of it. Like, security is no fucking joke, people. Not a joke, people. No.

No, it's not. So yesterday. It's not. Yesterday. You only get one life. Just one. Yolo. No.

No response. No response. He says Yolo in the sense that, fuck it. You only, I say Yolo and I'm very We're cautious. Yolo. No.

Yolo. You're like lock up the fucking house. You only do live once. It's true. So yesterday. There are different connotations of the meaning of yolo. So yesterday when league play was released, both Dashie and I were on our way to Mexico, we spent the entire day going to Mexico.

And it was like, wait, where are you laughing? The segue? Wait, what we were talking about yesterday. Dude, you know, we should play Oumu. It was really bad. All four of us, I guarantee you, we will lose more than we win. What do you mean? We'll lose more than we win.

On league play? In league play? People were going so hard yesterday. That's what I would want out of league play. Me and Damon, like, we had to sweat, like, multiple times. That's good, though, right? Yeah, and, like, no, like HPs, though. Like, 44 HP, like, it wasn't like we were blowing him out.

It was, like, 250 to 220. That's good though No yeah it is good Yeah that's what I'm saying That's what I would expect We should play Umu and league play Yeah we are

Really? Yeah well yesterday I would have We would have started yesterday But Dash that's why I brought it up Because I wanted to play yesterday And obviously you were In Mexico with Bruce

Dashy's P1 visa got approved like a week ago So we were like in this like insane timeline to make sure that He left the country And reenter the country To reset the visa That's what you're supposed to do

I brought it up on stream yesterday I was like I don't know how much I can talk about it because obviously I didn't know what was going on like fully and people were like Bruce is dropped again Bruce is gone. I was like dude like I said one thing yeah yeah so I thought it was I thought you weren't supposed to talk about it either but in speaking to the immigration lawyers are like no people do that all the time people like go it's a normal thing yeah it was obviously like when he came here to look for for the apartment which is what he's been doing and then me go us going back there and then reentering we left at six well what time do we leave it like eight and I I didn't want to let it. So how long does his renewal last for? Five years. Shit.

Welcome home. Boom. So we don't have to do that again. Because it was really bad. Do you want like, does he want citizenship? After seven years? Yeah. Why don't you just get married?

You can marry an American. Ladies, if you guys want to legally marry a very handsome, young up-and-coming superstar in the Call of Duty scene. Keep going. He is, uh, he is, uh, he is a, Available. He's a really kind boy. Comes from a good family. Well, educated. He's got good music taste.

He snipes. He snipes really, really good. What else do you want? Anyway, so I said he couldn't go back to Canada because Canada is like 14-day quarantine, which means that if he left yesterday or the day he got approved, he still wouldn't have been able to make it back to the hex quarters to compete out of the hex quarters. And I was not about to chalk that. How did scraps, why did scraps get quarantined then? I don't know.

Because why didn't he get quarantined in Mexico? Because he came from the UK. Scraps. Yeah. And we took, so we took a, what do you call it? COVID test, which I forgot to put in the vlog. I'm sorry. So we took a COVID test.

And then if it's within 72 hours, you're able to travel between Mexico and that. Yeah, he calls me. You call me and we were about to go to Isabel's family for the Super Bowl. And he's like, yo, I got COVID, which means you do two. You're fucked. And I said. And he was the one calling me. And I was like, wait, you're fucking with me, right?

And he's like, no, no. And I was like, well, that puts a wrinkle in my plans for today. Now I can't go. And he was like, are you serious? He's like, no, no. I was like, why did you just do that? I don't know how to not do that. Well, I was like, why did you just do that?

Most importantly, I don't know how to get away from the lie. I say it with such, like, conviction. Oh, I believed you. Like, because I was like, remember, I was, like, sick for, like, half a day. day and then I got better. So, I mean, I was like potentially, maybe that was like the start of the symptoms and maybe it'll come back, which I don't have it, everybody. But maybe.

So I'm like, I am gullible by nature already, but. Facts. I'm very gullible. Yeah. So gullible. But I did believe it because of that. You're gullible. Dude, he's going to have a better party than you.

Huh? Remember? You were ready? Oh, yeah. New years? Yeah. You guys are later. What happened?

Yeah, we had, so on New Year's, Seth and Seth was hosting a party, right? This is before me and Brandon got here. Yeah, the New Year's party. And Clay was also having one, right? Yeah. So me and Brandon and the team speak, I'm like playing zombies, Rand's pubbing. Like, Seth sitting there, we're like hanging out with those. And we're like, yo, like, I mean, Clay's party might be a little better than yours.

And he's like, he's like, what, you think so? And he's like, dude, dude, he thinks he's going to Clay's party? Yeah. And I was like, I'll text him, dude. I think he actually might be like, that's so fucking weird. Dude, they literally, yeah, they had me, they had me on strings for like two hours. I will say this, though, for the record, both you and is, like, throw a really good party. Like, no matter what get together is, food's always correct.

Yeah, we bought, like, $400 of sushi. Yeah. Like, or no, $400 of alcohol and sushi. What ate that? So I was like, this party better bang. I guess just put $400 in this show. It did. It was good.

Yeah, people better have some, have a good time at least. Yeah. So we spent all day traveling. So we didn't, I didn't get a chance to play league play because by the time we got home, formal maniac wanted to play on my. Minecraft, so I opened up the server and we did that. How was league played? You played it all night? You played it? I played it for eight hours. Have you touched it?

No. It was fun. It's fun because it is new. It's 4V4 as well. I think whenever they get a lot of their restrictions out that are actually supposed to be in place, like all the barrels. That's an all play. All the barrels over kills in right now. So if they take out snipers as well, which I don't think they will, I don't think they'll ever take out snipers. I don't think they're going to follow like the players' GAs. Like they'll follow the rule set, but They won't follow GAs. So, but I mean, it's, it was still fun.

I was having a pretty good time. I mean, it's new. It's 4B4, so it's not, it's not 6 v6 pubs. The skill-based matchmaking is probably easier in league play, as crazy as that sounds. Yeah. Like, playing pubs compared to league play, it was like, league play was easy to play. There's like two ways, there's like two ways to look at it. For Call of Duty players, it's like a, it's kind of refreshing because you don't have to set up a GV match.

You can just go in and you're already in the competitive environment. As far as from the outside, it's not going to grow caught at all. It's pretty terrible as far as like the rank system, getting other people to play Call of Duty. No one's going to come in and play league play. There's, I just don't understand. There's no way to rank up.

I don't understand. Everyone was saying like this is how it needs to be or it's not going to be a rank playlist. And then they just dropped the blackups four copy paste. Yeah. and I didn't understand the blackups 4-1. Like there's no way that they didn't know that that wasn't what people wanted. There's no way they didn't know that people weren't going to like that.

Well, it's like the Black Ops 2 one was bad, but it was good for everyone. You know what I mean? Like it wasn't competitive. Well, Black Ups 2 people look at it with rose-tinted glasses because it's black-ups 2. Yeah, no, it's definitely- It's better than this because you could rink up. Like, yeah, yeah, yeah. I played five matches with Doc, Doc and TST. Blake and George went dumb hard those five matches

But we were blowing everyone out So I was just chilling trying to make Like funny content with Doc And then I realized that your rank is based off your score per minute For those five matches only What'd you get? What'd you end up getting? Advanced, I think I don't know what advanced is

It's like running off competitor I think Yeah, you're essentially gold It goes competitor, advanced, expert, elite And then Master The Master is the top 2% of the players Elite is top 3 to 10% Expert 11 to 15. You are in the top 16 to 20%. It's so weird.

It's so weird that where do they get those Where do they get those percentages from? Because how are you the top 2% of players if you're basing it off of five matches where you're blowing people out that don't even have ranks? See, that's the problem right there. It should be. I mean, it doesn't make

In other like games. It doesn't make any sense. It does not make any sense. In other games, your placement matches will like increasingly get harder because you'll be playing against like in CS. Like in CS, you'll go from playing like MG1s and then you'll play like DMGs and then you'll play LEs if you like keep winning Yeah if you can you're on the streak

You'll put you against like some diamond players Just see if you're actually good Yeah You know what I'm saying? Yeah So this one just like randomly throws you against anybody Like you play anybody That's I don't like that man

And you can have anybody on your team I don't know I mean You gotta take into account COVID And all that shit like it might have been harder Maybe to make like a new Completely revamped right place or something It was probably easy to copy and paste it But if you copy and paste it.

At a deadline, you know what I'm saying? At least copy and paste it in November. No, yeah. You know what I mean? They could have also been trying to make something happen in November and make something new. And then they were like, shit, we got to get the shit out. I just copy and paste it then. Yeah.

Yeah. I get it. I think happened. I will never, ever, ever understand that. If you are all part of the same umbrella in essence, right? Activision owns Infinity Award and it owns sledgehammer. It owns Trey-Arts. the inner working of that communication,

I don't understand why that's not something that they share in. Like share that. And again, I don't know what an equal sign in a middle of a sentence will do to the code. Okay, I know that. I'm a moron. Okay.

We were talking about the magical video games on the way to the airport yesterday and how genius and special it is to be able to create gravity even inside a computer. All that aside. I just don't know why whoever has the best league play doesn't say, you use this algorithm or use this structure, use these pages and pages and pages of code to do this. Patents, but it's all part of the same umbrella company.

Well, I mean, I thought you were talking more like halos. So you're saying, like, if that division wanted to use sledgehammers, World War II ranges and put it into this game, they can do that, but they don't do it. But they don't because of... Yeah, okay, if it's in cod. And I get it to a certain extent, but if you own Call of Duty and you're hiring people to make your game, while you're hiring them, be like,

you're going to be in charge of league play, share everything you know about league play with everybody else and let them use your code. That way we can have something stable. The biggest thing is like, like we've said it 100 million times, but whenever the league came out and we franchised,

you've got to think, normal people would think that because they're putting so much more money and things into, what? Why are you wearing gunless as chicken? he's wearing gunless is go on i was into that yeah sorry so they put so much more

nick just walked in they put so much more money into into the league and into call of duty competitively but then we get the blackups for like like first of all what happened last year was insane as far as like how bad competitive was last year and we got no league play then we get league play this year because and we only get it because it's trey arc

and they care a little bit. And then we get the blackups for a league places. I think they care a lot, but I think that there is a lot of restrictions that they aren't in charge of, which is, again, an Activision thing, owning this thing and telling them what to do, right? And then saying, you can't do that.

You can't do that. Butterhart, well, I get... Hands behind your back, shackled, you can't do that. Okay. Here's my take. It's not be a bold take, okay? Here's what I think the problem is. Okay, so you take sledgehammer,

Trey Arc, and what's the one, Infringy Word? Yeah. So they're on a cycle. This is like dating back to the beginning of cod, right, where they're all making a new cod each year, right? So I don't know their relationship with each other as companies, but it seems like they're all just trying to, like, once it's their turn that year, they're trying to make like, you know, that best shit. They want to be like the new war zone, for example, right? So like over the years, you see them like going from Infinite Warfare to Calvduty World War II, like just jumping from two different eras randomly because all they're like kind of competing against each other to be like, you know, Activision's favorite.

You know what I could be completely wrong. I don't fucking know. But that's just what it seems like to me. that's why there's not a World War II system in this, because I feel like if they were to ask Ledjheimer for their shit, like, Trajerk were to go to them, they'd be like, I mean, that's our shit. You know what I'm saying?

Yeah. Like, you can't have that. Yeah. And I feel like that's just like a whole underlying problem that, like, I guess we don't really talk about. That's a good point. You know what I do get, I mean, I, never mind. I do know that they do try to make the best job possible

because people are going to make content around it. And also Activision is going to be like, hey, head of the head of the studio. This is all of the people talking shit about, about your game, right? So they're going to be like, okay, we've got to make a better game. We've got to make a better game. And considering the fact that the majority of the people that play Call of Duty aren't competitive players makes a little bit of sense when it comes to what they're doing. But when you ask people to invest 20s of millions of dollars into a thing, I think that some of that

should be allocated to an independent platform that has competitive only. This platform or this studio or this entity should only be in charge of anything that has to do with competitive. The fun part of the game should stay the fun part of the game and skill-based matchmaking should be put aside. Once you have this structure set in place, then it'll be a lot easier for them to mobilize whatever needs to be mobilized in order to change the things that need to be changed. Because when you're intermingling and you're cross-pollinating the system and saying that whatever's applicable to the common man is also applicable to this and whatever weapons are used here, sense to only use here makes no sense to what we do on a daily basis.

That's my take on that. So I don't know. Hopefully they'll fix it. I saw Clay say something along the lines of like it'll get better with time. It's like how much time do they need? No, the thing is it won't get better with time because time is the most important part if you want people to come to your game. Nobody's going to play league play except for pro players.

Yeah. And like competitive players. And competitive players. No one's not going to be There's no incentive for them to play that show There's zero reason to play There's no cool There's no cool gear or features or

No rank you don't If they just put double XP in that play this only for a weekend Maybe you'd see some growth in that Yeah, but it's like other than that Once that's done it's just like It's like it came out and it's like Here's a 4 before playlist that you can play In between GB matches or scrums

Yeah And Like look at like um Like Ballarat for example Like that's like a relative new game right? Yeah yeah And, like, they have that, what, like, radiant, immortal thing or whatever. People are grinding for that.

Already. So, like, say the new cod dropped in November, whatever, it came out with some dope-ass rankings, just some off-the-rid. That's what I tweeted. That's how you pull in new people, you know what I mean? Like, if you just have a fucking league play at the start of a game. That's what I'm saying. Like, you've got to come out with the off-the-ribing.

So now, now that that's been, Matt was calling me, so I wanted to pick up to hear his thoughts, Matt and each other that is. So now that, now that they release, if they were told us at the beginning, we're releasing league play at the same time the season starts, everybody would have been like, that makes sense. This is what I understand. If they would have told us at the beginning, when the game came out, we're not releasing league play until the season starts because it's part of this overall promotion for

the league and this and the other. I would have been like, you know what? I'm with it. At least I got that transparency. At least I know not to bitch for the next like four months. You know what I mean? Okay. That sort of transparency is like what we need like right now.

I agree. We've been asking for this thing for the, I mean, for decades long. And when we see when we see Valerant doing what? they're doing when we see league play doing or league legends of what they're doing when we see even battalion in 1944 an independent studio that created a copy of call of duty to with the same movement as call for and you see the face it rank it with the ELO systems that makes sense and that's an independent studio that doesn't have a tenth of a percent of the of the of the of the network or the infrastructure that Activision has and when we see them do that it makes me wonder where the

where is it? Where's the passion for competitive? There's just like there's just none. Yeah, there isn't. Like a ranked system makes games. Like isn't that why League Legends is so... Halo 2, Halo 3? Halo 2. I've fucking played so much shit. Oh my God. Halo 2. I put... Yeah, I put

just unbelievable hours into those games. And I was in freaking high school. Oh, yeah. I mean, I was a kid. Or not even high school. I was in like middle. Yeah, yeah, middle school. Yeah. Like elementary school, like my brother got the Xbox. I lost my rank. I'd cry. No bullshit. My parents come in and be like, what the fucking crime? I'd be like, get the fuck out!

You don't fucking understand me. You throw a dirty sock at your mom. I was like, we get out of here, but I just, the day... Clean your room, Matt! The day that Call of Duty has a rank system like Halo did. So is that what World War II was? No, it still wasn't like that. Straight Elo.

You'd win 10 points for winning. You'd lose like 10 points, and then it would be like... The attraction was like, you play pros every game. If you're favored in the match, you'll, you'll win less points. If you're not favored, you'll win more points if you win. But, like, the top, like, 25 players

were all pros, like for the most people. And they would just be playing, like, eights basically, every night against each other, whenever they wanted. That's play, like, with the beauty of it. You play search. So that was, like, that was like the, that was the drawl to it is that

if you were an up-and-coming player and you wanted to get your name out there, you could just grind league, and then you'd eventually, if you got to a high enough point, play against pros. Ryan McCarty, remember him? He was good at that game,

in that game only. but yeah he's good. But he grinded and he got to a point where he could play pros and they got his name out there. People knew who he was, like a lot of people. People still say his name in my stream. Yeah.

They're like, remember Ryan Bacardi? Yeah. And I'm like, dude, that was like three years ago, but yeah. I have someone to tell you guys. I am Ryan Bacardi. Yeah, right. You're fucking knew it. I know, you know.

I knew it. It makes sense that you're so good at that shit again. Sure. It's, it was pretty good. I didn't, I didn't want to, I didn't want to come out. but here I am the one that you love. Looking for another chance.

What was your favorite gun? Which game? You know, they are. Anyway, let's take a quick break really quickly to say hello to the sponsors. We got our first set of sponsors, so shout out to them. What's up, baby? What's up? Well, yeah, that works, actually.

Thank you so much for the sponsorship. Hopefully you guys can come back. We certainly need and want and appreciate you guys coming back. Moving on from the league play conversation because I think I don't, every single time that we get here, I want to be able to say something positive at one point or another.

You know what I want to be able to say, I want to be able to say, and you know what the messed up part about this is? Is that all of the league and the league officials and the back office of the league are all about everything that we're saying. They're all in support of everything that we're saying. And they won't ever throw anybody in. Yeah, they won't ever.

Yeah, but they're never going to throw anybody under the bus. They're never going to say they are to you. No, you can tell when somebody is about this life. Yeah. And they are. It just sucks because that's the reason we'll never get transparency. It's because there's so many people under so many different umbrellas that any time you're like, why can't we do that?

they're not going to say the dude above me won't let me they're not going to so we'll never get transparency from Activision when it comes the lawyers man they got at least they had to have like three floors of lawyers it's kind of crazy that we're watching lawyers watching lawyers reporting to the

to the man above it's kind of what they care about us they're really blowing up war zone you know what I mean like why the fuck would like if they hear us but they don't care about war zone either no they do that's their shit they haven't fixed oh yeah but I'm saying like it's so big how much money did they make it's so big they don't care.

$8 billion? Thanks, Matt. Warzone is so massive that they don't give a fuck about the hackers. Us complaining about league play is like so far down their list of the parents.

We don't, yeah, they don't give a fuck. And I don't blame them. Like, fucking, why the fuck would they? We're such a small percentage of compared to Warzone and what it is right now. It's like the new Fortnite,

you know what I'm saying? It has everyone watching that shit playing that shit. Yeah. Why the fuck would they care about the cheaters? That's a small percentage. And then we're just like way down here.

Give us ranks. They don't give a fuck. Well, it's saddens me that that's how you feel. I mean, it's honest. It's the truth, though. It's messed up. It is the truth. It's the truth.

It's the hard truth we've known for a long time. I was going to say, it's crazy that we even have to have a conversation like this. But the only thing is, is that that was the difference is like, that's how I felt, or that's how I've always felt in God, especially in the early days. It was like laughable how much they did not care. But then they make a franchise league. And so at that point, you're like, oh, so they do care. This is a step. And for the record, they do care.

I mean, this is way better than it. It's, and again, it's not the, the, the, the, the, it's the three floorsal lawyers that they have. Yeah, I'm, yeah, I wasn't talking to Traiard right there or even people, anyone that I've ever met in the CaldooC, and I wasn't really talking to them right there. I'm talking about people I don't even know who exists. Yeah, who have no say in it. And I bet you these people have never fucking played Call of Duty ever. Yeah. Have never touched the game ever.

They just see the numbers and they see wars. I'm blowing the fuck up. They're like, we're doing something right. It's just fucking push money to that. They're the type. It's like, hey, what do you do? It's like, oh, I'm a super high pay lawyer at one of the publicly traded gaming company.

He's like, oh, yeah, he's like, what is it? Oh, I'm in e-sports. What does that mean? It's like, e-sports, you know. It's flowing up lately. It's in the news. Like, never have touched the game of Call Duty, which is like peaves me off even more. I always said every single time that I got into an argument with Activision.

I'm like, this game is more my game than it is your game. You don't have collectibles from the beginning. You don't have the first Call-Duty 2 that you dominated and became a legend in? I mean, it was just you and like three other people, man. You were dominating Astro and you were nameless and your back man. With a medic and shit? No, no, no, no, no. No, I would never.

Actually, I would be a very good medic. I'm just an OBJ player. All right. So moving on. No, go ahead. Nope, that's right. Oh, no. Yeah, he knows.

He knows he knows he'll get dropped from Umu. He knows. He knows he'll get dropped from Umu. He is fucking right. You can go play. play somewhere else. Well, actually, would you pick them out? Oh, I mean, he never wants to play, though. So,

Hey, hey. What? All right. Scratch up the door. Justin, thank you for this. I didn't hear about this, uh, production team. Uh, Justin of Justin TV, comments on if he regret. I don't know, you know, you know, it's fucked up. I've been reading like this and I feel like, I saw myself doing this. I'm like, what are you five? You can't read like from over here.

I'm like guiding myself. I'm like, might as well add the ping pong ball and make a tune out of it. All right. There ain't no shame in that. Justin O'Nealthus'C. Comments on if he regrets selling the platform to Amazon in 2014 for $970 million. He says he does not regret it and that money can't buy happiness. I mean, probably both those are probably factual. I mean, yeah, true.

Why would you regret selling it for a little close to a billion dollars? Because if you would have held on another year, it could have been two. I only have a billion dollars. It's not really a billion. It's 970 million. I only have 970 million. I mean, I feel like the second part of that is true. If you're just getting a bunch of money and you're just trying to buy a bunch of shit.

and you're just like, this is going to be dope. I have a yacht now. If you have simple means, then... If you're happy as fuck no matter what, and then you get rich, you're going to be happy still. You're just going to have more access to everything. Yeah. You're just going to be able to get you done whenever we want.

I always say money is freedom, not happiness. Oh, my God. Someone called that and put it on my fucking... I don't want to call myself the modern day soccer case, but... Play-to, maybe? Play-do? Play-to. No, too much.

Plato. What? Play-to? Yeah, the other... It should smelled so good. I used to put it on my face. wrap myself up in it I would just be like

oh my god everyone at the daycare would be like dude put that shit down I would just be covered in it yeah you put it in a sock and you smell it like Jonah Hill I had a weird obsession

with turning Plato into dicks just a big purple dicks the whole time that's called a dilt dough sorry we went off the rails there Play dough but yeah I always say money buys or money

money is freedom not happiness Yeah. Because money allows you to buy a jet ski or a Ferrari or a house or whatever, you know, luxury item that you want. But it's not going to make you happy. No. Think about like, think about devoting your whole life to something that you know is going to blow up, right? So you make an app or something and it spends like 10 years making it. And you're miserable the whole time, but you know it's going to make you money.

And then once you get that money, you're assuming that you're going to just be happy. I think that's where I'll do a fuck up. Like they spend so much time into getting the money that by the time they get there, they're miserable as a person. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? That's a good way of looking at it. Yeah. Maybe that's why.

Maybe he spent forever making Justin TV. And then it blew up. I remember I watched it. I watched Ninja on that on Justin TV. I remember that shit. It looked pretty shitty. But it was like, you can tell it was going to blow up.

You know what I mean? And then imagine like just selling that and you finally get all this money. You're like, well, what now? This is our buying shit. I'll get a wife, I guess. Because she's, I'm going to have money. I can get a wife, you know?

Like, you know what I'm saying? She's going to just milk me dry. It's just that type of like ideas is just built for miserable. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And now, obviously, we're not saying that alleviating certain hardships or whatever, if you had a little bit more money that wouldn't help that situation. But ultimately, if you're not happy where you're at, you're never going to be happy.

And if you think about it, like, if you buy a private jet for you and all your friends to go to Vegas, to go to a Drake concert, you could have gone with those same people and had the same fun. it's just the means on how you got there that really added that terrain and just plan it out. Yeah. By Spirit Airlines. Yeah.

Go and rent a, you know, just a different car. Yeah. It's like, it's the people around you that ultimately make you happy. So for sure. So if you have no friends, start there.

No friends and a lot of money, that sounds like a bad time. Yeah. If you have no friends and a lot of money, call me. Okay. Call us. We'll take some of that money.

We'll be your friends. We'll be your friends. We're great friends. You want to play Minecraft? I am heavy into Minecraft Yeah As of late, yeah First day plane

He's probably played more Minecraft than me And you've been trying to get me to play Minecraft For a decade Yeah And you've already played more than me It's the best game of all time For the record You play more than me

For the record I've been trying to get everybody To play Minecraft forever It took him I'll eventually play it Whenever I have more time Yeah You should stream it

That's the thing You don't understand How many people watch that biggest name in the world for You should So tonight Next second stream tonight Yeah after Oumu

After I'm playing Ouma No No after I'm playing Omo Anyway Let's let's keep it on track here So we have a lot of topics Obviously I asked I asked the production team

To give us a whole bunch of And the majority of the time There are alright See how nice I was there Because you know that's not the truth So they gave me Tom Brady one seventh Super Bowl Greatest of all time.

Agreed? Agreed. Agreed. Yeah. What were you saying? It's up there with who? Go ahead. Say it.

Michael Jordan. And who else? Michael Phelps. Michael Jackson. Tyson. So many Michael. Jackson. Oh, shit.

Tyson, too. There's a lot of great mics. Who's the singer, Brett Michaels? That's the wrestler? Poison? Yeah, poison. Yeah, Brett Michaels. Yeah.

Yeah, thank you. He's a wrestler? Brett Michaels? No. I'm pretty sure this of Brett Michaels in the W.W. There could be. Brett Michaels. Michael's everyone. Was slinging. Michael Myers? The store? I'm an artist, Matt. You know I have.

They got great shit. Yeah, yeah, Michael Myers. Michael Myers. I've been going to Michael since I was like in high school. At the time I would. Mike Myers? Austin Powers. That's that's what I was thinking. Oh my God. Mike is there any Mike color doing? He sounds like crazy. There's so many, there's so many Michaels that there's a horror Michael and a comedy Michael and they have both have

same name. Michael Myers, Michael Myers. That's so crazy. So many genres. Wow. My mind is blown. Literally all in one sentence. It's crazy. Who? Mike Jones. Oh, my God. Wow. Keep going. That's the people's champ. All right. So we have a...

We just sounded like crazy people for three minutes. We were all just saying different Michaels. How do they start? Do you think that, uh, how do you think Bill Belichick felt when he won that? So salty. Do you think he was so salty? So, so are they so, are they like, I don't know. I have no fucking idea. I don't watch football like that, so I don't really know the relationship.

I don't know. It would probably take, like, I don't know. I'm imagine that happening, though. Like, that's crazy. That's crazy. That is really crazy. That is some goat shit. That is good.

Imagine if, like, Seth went somewhere else and won? Yeah, I'm not going to be happy. I'm not going to talk to him. Yeah. Fuck, you don't get, you saw their tweet. You don't leave me. I wouldn't ever leave them.

The Patriots tweet, they looked so salty. All I tweeted was congratulations to the best of all time. It was so salty looking, like. You know what I'm saying? It was so funny, dude. The way you said that, it's perfect. Yeah, like, they hit tweet, and they were just like, it's fucking,

just get it out there, needs to be said. Yeah, they're like, tweet it, goddamn it. As a person that the majority of his life only watch football because of quarterbacks, first, obviously, Brett Far, well, John Montana being my favorite one, then Brett Farve, now I would say that this dude, like, literally is the best quarterback ever.

He's just a tank. He's just a machine all on his own. So congratulations to him. He has more Super Bowl ranks. If you're watching, Tom. Yeah, if you're watching, which you are. Hey, Tom. Has more, he has more Super Bowl wins than any franchise in the league ever.

That's insane. That's. That's insane. 20 seasons. 10 Super Bowl appearances. Next person is five appearances. That's stupid. That's crazy.

Who else has multiple rings? I'm sure there's people out. I mean, you have two? You have two? Oh, no, you guys have one. My bad. Are you talking about us? I have two X games gold medals.

How many is Gromkev? I have doing a couple with Tom Brady, right? How many gold medals do you have? I have the most third place as a champs. Fuck yeah. Third place for 1.3s. Every fucking time. Should have like six, but it's all good.

But, I mean, it works out in the end, Seth. You know that? What's champs going to be like this year? You don't know anything? Hopefully online. again? Hell yeah. Anything you guys want to spell?

Well, the thing is this is like, now that we're like in an almost half bubble here in Dallas, I think that they're like the thing is is like I wouldn't care if we play it at Envy's headquarters and I wouldn't care if we play it. I mean, if we have it here, like this place is a modest place. It's like, Yeah.

Yeah. The Hex network. Yeah. The Hex. No, the optic land network. Oh, we can't call it optic, obviously, because all the teams are going to be coming in.

We would call it the CDL unofficial bubble bubble that's a message. Hector's bubble. No. Hector's birth, let's pop, Hector's bubble. Yeah, let's not. Hector's cherry poppin party. Hector's cherry popped. Hector's cherry popped.

Hector's cherry on his birthday. Wow, on my birthday. Land party. Make sure land party is like an orange or something and everything else is black. Yeah, yeah. That'd be cool. I think it's good. Halloween thing, too.

First CDL is the CDL event this weekend. Are you got type about that? What? Are you guys happy about this? Yeah, excited? Hell, yeah. So, like, how does it work? You guys are playing...

It's like league matches all the way up until... So we play five league matches. And so it's over three weeks. We play five league matches and then we play the major. And then it's based off your seating and losing. And the major is the 20 or something? Yeah, it's like we're at the end of the month, I think. Okay.

At the end of this month? I think so, yeah. No, it's got to be at the end of March. No, there's no way. It's three weeks in a major. Then three weeks in a major. Yeah, it's three weeks. It's freaking...

What the fuck is on my phone? It's February. Is that a boogie? No. Yo, could you smell your boogers once you guys? It's February 9th. We don't start. Oh, maybe it's like March 15th.

Yeah. It's like a month after. So like week one, week two, week three, it's probably like, it's probably like March. Oh, my gosh is on that weekend. It's probably like March 10th. Oh, yeah. But yeah. Oh, okay.

But it's basically just league matches. So you play five league matches, top three are in winners, bottom three are in losers, and then you play the major. And that happens five times and then the chance. Oh, okay. I'm just making this dude laugh. Anything exciting that you guys are looking for? I mean, obviously playing together.

I'm excited to play phase. I'm excited to play phase. That's a big a match. Yeah? Yeah, it's exciting to look forward to. I know. I'm hyped about it. So how many matches do we have this weekend? Two.
