Leave what? You didn't know that you had a podcast? Like, we sent a call sheet, like, way in advance. I knew. I just thought it was at 11. Are you alive on it right now? Your phone is up to the microphone.

Oh, my God. So now I'm going to get roasted. Dude, rightfully so. Guys, welcome to Optic Podcast episode 245. Before we get into today, we have a very special announcement. We are now expecting and excited to have you guys send us items that we're going to open live on the race to master prestige. The first mailback's opening. The first. I love how you were with it.

Day zero, the night that we go and get groceries and we... The target run. Yeah, the target run. Now is the Target Run gonna be live also? Yeah. I mean, we're gonna try. We're gonna try. Last time it.

That show was fun. It was fun. It was choppy. Shatsi was saying that it was really easy to go from streaming on your, because I saw a lot of people at Cod Next. Yeah. And we should talk about Cod Next, how awesome it was. But it was like, I think it may have been one of the, one of the Baca Bros that got up from his streaming setup.

Yeah. Destroy. Yeah. Yeah. It's just, it's called IRL2. back and forth seamlessly now. That's what optic uses. Before we continue on this tangent, though,

if you guys send things in, it must be addressed to the race. It can't be addressed to scump. It can't be addressed to Hex. Everything will be checked before being brought on to stream. The address is 5757 Main Street, Frisco, Texas. Sweet 200. Sweet 200.

Yeah, and as Zinney mentioned, don't send in the fucking rotten mayo. The guys are not going to Like somebody else is opening it as a pre-screen For the thing So don't send us stuff that will help us During the race We want slippers

Coe we want What'd you say? Yeah Yeah No no no We want I'm totally joking I've never I'm not

Nick said he wants maybe a flashlight Yeah I draw the line there For the bunker Cocaine's fine I'm kidding A fleshy for the bunk bed? Earplug.

One for all. The problem is that you're the only, the earplugs should be, it should come with like seven pairs of earpots for everybody else. Yeah. There's no point of you putting your earpuds and using that thing. Everybody else is going to hear you. That's true.

Send your favorite streamer or personality, whatever you think would be good for them. Yeah. That may be something extra on top. Oh yeah. Whatever. Get creative with it. To the race.

Wait, where is Alan? And everything will be unboxed live on truth. Where's Alan? Alan has been literally hanging out in my theater room for the past two years. Okay. I asked him, I'm like, yo, you want to go back to your spot at the hex quarters? He said, fuck no. Because I heard it don't even look like the hex quarters, no way.

It just looks like a bunch of sets. That's right. The home vibe. He fucks with the home vibe. Not this corporate shit. Corporate shit. Yeah, I feel that. This is almost startup is anything but corporate.

I feel that, Alan. I remember the, you know what? My favorite times post. posts have when everyone's station and I kind of forgot about this that it's how it used to be but like Hitch was set up over there I'm set up right here

foremost set up right here then even like Paige Roger Matt Craig Dashy back there and I would come in here 9 a.m. and just start streaming and screaming I can't imagine how fucking annoying that was Paige would pick up her laptop closer like a book I remember there was only one time

where Roger was like shut up And I was just like, damn, I'm bad. I used to say, I go, I don't know. I just, I have the headphones on. Dude, one time you, when Optic Chicago was screaming, you were streaming. And at one point, formal goes, Nick, shut the fuck up. And you were like, hmm. He was so pissed.

I just eat that. He was so pissed. I got to eat that one. I remember you used to say like, shut up. But just the way you say it. Oh, no. You saying that pisses me. I know.

Something about it. Because I sound like you. I'm literally mimicking you. That's why you hate it. They're like, shut up. Literally gives me PTSD. I don't know why you're like if Roger was like, dude, shut up. You're so loud.

I can't remember exactly what he said. I just can't imagine him even saying that. But I know he has said it before. Like Paige will say something. But when I say it. But when you say it, it's like. All right, I'm going to give you guys two topics that we could talk about either one of them. It's up to you guys.

Sure. One, do you all want to talk about Hassan shocking his dog or two, you all want to talk about the girl who gave birth on the street? Fuck that. Timeout. What the fuck do you mean?

Shocking his dog. Hassan, there was a viral clip where his dog like just got up and started walking towards him and he was like, stop, sit down or whatever. And then he like reaches forward and the dog yelps.

So everyone's... I really don't want to see this. Here's a clip right here. I don't want to see this. I mean, I can just explain it to you if you want to want watch it. Is it bad? No, no, it's not bad. It's not bad.

It's just... It's just his dog. Apparently his dog sleeps there all the time. I've never watched the stream, so I don't know. But the dog gets up. And this is just like... Can you fast forward it, right? Okay. Yeah, so the dog's up walking around. He kind of notices that the dog is up.

Kaya, please just fucking go... Reaches under... Like, the dog literally... That's what people are saying. God forbid a dog starts wandering How are you that fucking thrown off by a dog moving three feet?

No no no keep going Look at how you're talking to him Go back Now before you proceed I I understand Disciplining the dogs Okay I understand discipline

I understand it Probably more than a lot of humans Because I have had eight dogs Living in the same household For the past maybe fucking decade. You know what I'm saying? So I do understand the

the Susser Moulin's or the little, you know, jabs. Shock therapy? Brother, the dog didn't deserve discipline either. Exactly. Well, that's where I was going. It walked off the bed. That's the bed. That's where I'm going. That's where I'm going. Like what, like, does he have a history of pissing everywhere?

Like, I don't fucking know. Again, like, this is, how many seconds is a minute for? I want to hear what he says afterwards because I, this. It's going to tell me. Yeah, I don't know. I think a lot. Press play, Riley, please. Same reason as to why America.

Kaya, please just fucking go. Just stop. Jesus, bro. Jesus Christ. What are you doing? How are you that? What? Dude.

It's just. What? You frustrated? Okay. Okay, let's move on. I don't want to get, I don't. Oh, man, I'm pissed. Bro, where was he had mentally to have that type of reaction?

How are you that matter? Well, politics does this to people. It does. Politics don't do that. I don't, like when people, you guys asked me last week, last, last week, middle or left or right. And I said anything that causes division amongst friends is completely what I'm against. Anything that divides the populace, I am against.

Yeah. Anything that causes negative discourse, political violence, I am against. I, this shit right here. Here is, listen, I discipline my dogs. I seriously like that sort of shit right there with the shock. I would never put a shock collar on any of my dogs. Well, no. And they have a, well, most of them have like a vibrate feature where that's where you would just vibrate it.

And that gives them like a little sensation that's not a shock that tells them what they're doing is wrong. But right there, that dog did, all the dog just got up from bed. Yeah. If you want your dog in the background so bad to train it with shock therapy, which is what it looks like. That's just what it looks like. I don't know if that's the case. That's fucking crazy. I wouldn't even say I'm against.

That's insane. Wouldn't even say I'm against shock. My bad. Therapy or whatever it's called. I'm not against shock. That I'm against though. The motherfucker just got up. Yeah.

I'm not for. And then he was so frustrated. There's a time in place he used. He was so frustrated. He's like, what's wrong with you? He's a fucking. He doesn't understand you, guy. I feel like his, I feel like his heart rate spiked right there because you could tell.

As soon as the dog yelped, he was like, was I obvious with the reach? Yeah, he's like, fuck. Yeah, he was like, oh, it seems like he was thinking. Listen, again, I understand, I understand disciplining them when they're doing something, they're chewing on a something. He was clearly in his place, right? It's called place. She yelled because she clipped herself on something.

That, that's also a possibility. On what? Danny Phantom? Watch it again. But what does he have right there? Is that a shock collar? The question, Hassan, is, is that a shock collar? Yes or no?

What else the fuck is that? Yeah, what could that be? He could be a house arrest. I don't fucking know. That was the funniest part. Imagine he was not even wearing a shot collar and people were applying with a zoomed-in photos of like a green light on that collar

which shows that it's on. Bro, oh man, like I. She yelled because she clipped herself on something. I understand that. I understand that. If my dog clipped himself or herself on something, I would go and be like, what? You cool?

Yeah. My dog walks into walls and doesn't make, Rons into walls like camp scathevon. Dude, I don't know about that. I really, man, I have a fucking something wrong with me, man. I have something wrong with me. Like I feel more empathy towards dogs than humans and that's not right. But at the same time, it is right.

I think that's right. I think that's normal. I think to feel more empathy towards dogs and humans. Don't get me, like I understand discipline. I understand that, but the fucking shock holler for getting up and readjusting yourself, you know what I, you know what I suggest? Just wandering with your dog brain? Yeah, exactly. They don't know what the fuck's going.

They just start going somewhere. Exactly. Shit's crazy. I've known none of my dog, I think maybe the spray, the bark spray. Whoa. What about the girl giving birth on stream? about that. That's fucking hot.

It's fucking hot. No, but seriously, if I was like the husband and that was one of my girl's wishes, I'd be like, I would, my stomach would sink to my ass. You think so? He seemed all about it. For your wife to want to be, I mean, chat, spam.

Are they like big streamers? W's in the chat. Maybe, baby's coming spammed W. I don't know if she was partnered, so, and I, I never, but I don't know anything about warcraft. Chat, every, every gifty is a spanking the butt and the baby holding them upside down.

The baby's been crying. I just, I feel like that's such a... Oh, it worked. That's such a personal... It worked. That's such a personal intimate moment. Like, I would only want that for me. I wouldn't even, I wouldn't want friends there.

It'd be like, my mom. No, this isn't weird. 27,000. When I tuned in, she had 7K viewers. to get birth on stream. Yeah, actually, yeah. I think you break records. That's literally how people will think.

Like, a pregnant girl will see this. And like, okay, 27. And they'll start doing the ad. Like, all right, if we milk it for like two days, 27,000. We run ads every. Milk it. No pun intended. In between contraction.

She's like, thanks for the five gifted. Like, gifted. It's like, I'm, oh, shit. Five gifted. Probably come up on like 20 grand. Yeah, no, that is, that is fucking weird as shit. I mean, that is weird behavior, quite frankly. Yeah, somebody came into chat yesterday and said,

there's a, there's a person giving birth on stream. And I was like, what? So that's when I queued it up. And I didn't believe them. And sure enough, she was sitting on like the couch to the left over there. She was sitting like this. And, like, her friends were all, like, rubbing her back and her husband's behind her, like, grabbing her.

And I was like, what? That's why I put it in the optic chat. And who wants to watch that? Okay, first of all, 27,000 people. Yeah, who would? That shit. I'm on a watch list. Okay, first of all, this is, I'm insecure, okay?

Okay. But the main reason why I wouldn't want to do this is because I wouldn't want some random fucking redheaded dude with tats all over his neck to say, that's hot. Yeah. About my wife. You know what I'm just sitting there like? Yeah. What?

Figging out the batteries. Statistically, if you think about it, someone probably was. Oh, I bet you hundreds of people were. I bet you hundreds of people. I did not think about that. Yeah. That's so disturbing. That's so disturbing.

Then? 99 other people were. Yeah, no, that shit actually sickens me to all them fluids. We were all in the discord together. Camera's bad. Have you ever seen that clip of train racks being like, you know what's the best feeling? It's like when you're just sitting in a discord call and you and your boys are just talking and everybody's having a good time and you just rub one out right there. Have you ever seen that clip?

What I'm gonna call with the boys like four or five of the boys talk in the background I'll mute randomly and I'll just have something open on the right monitor and listen right they're all talking having a conversation and I'll just rub one out right there It's just it's soothing knowing the boys are in the back it's soothing knowing they're there I know you've never done that I swear to God I have A lot actually not just once probably over 50 times Wait how many 50 times

Easily Easily swear to guys He said to troll No, I am not trolling. I actually swear to God on everything. It's so good. So what do you think? The bears are going to defeat him, and then the back ring here.

Ugh. He said, that's the best time to do it. I feel like I missed the whole train wrecks wave. Like, I know what he does and gambling and stuff like that, but I didn't know. I just don't know his story. I don't know. There's people like that. That's just the biggest streamers.

And now he's like a billionaire. And you just miss it all from. I miss the train wreck. I also missed. I also missed. fake or something. I remember knowing who XQC was

because when he got banned from Overwatch he got banned from competing in Overwatch. So he was a pro. Yeah, he was like really good.

Was he really? Like really good. I don't he played for fuel. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he played for fuel because we had we had the guy that

on, what, fuck, what's the other, what's the team we had? Houston Outlaw. Outlaws. That guy, there was a guy on Outlaws

that. Mendosukee. Yeah, those were the guys that were beefing, that's why he got banned. Well, I don't know if he was beefing Mendo actually. No, not Mendo. It was... Shit.

One of them. Yeah. I don't remember. I'm going to be honest. I still think that that's one of the best logos that has ever graced the Earth of Eastmore. The Owls? Yeah. All those are two guns and shit. It's a tag. All that.

But I don't really remember. But I remember he got banned, and then I remember like blinking. Two years went by and now he... And then he was like the biggest streamer. I was like, what the fuck? X-C you mean? Yeah, X-C-C-A, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

I miss people. There's people's waves that you just miss. Yeah, I feel like I've seen the speeds and the Kyes, but other people, I just fucking... Yeah, but I feel like when train wrecks was like big, he's still big, but you know what I mean? Like his stream when he blew up, TikTok wasn't like a fit, like it wasn't, you weren't seeing it every night on TikTok, I feel like, you know what I mean? Now I go on TikTok and I'm seeing Kai Speed. The phase boys. The phase boys.

Like every night you're seeing clips in your algorithm. Like I feel like back then it was just based on going on Twitch or like word of mail. Like algorithm wasn't a thing. So Twitter you saw if your friend retweeted it, you'd see it or if you followed that person, you'd see it. Now it's like shoved down your throat. Before it was like- I know if I like Twitter now. No, Twitter's not even-

It's not fun anymore. It's actually, I tweeted, everybody has to be miserable. I've never seen something like it in my entire life. Yeah. Like, people are replying to my tweets that don't follow me, like, with negativity. And I'm like, bro, you weren't even supposed to see this to me. Yeah. This wasn't for you at all.

Like, you didn't have to include me in your life for you to spew out something negative. Like, you could have just went about your day. Like, I want it to be if you follow me or if someone you follow retweets me, you see it. Well, I feel like it used to be like a fun light place. I did. You would tweet anything. That would just, politics, death. New JZ song, fire.

Like you would just say Hot dogs and fries On our Friday And people just like it Bro, I'm gonna give you Now this has not always been the case At one point or another Twitter for me was my favorite application

To be on It was the lifeline of This community, et cetera Etcetera et cetera Last most used Last week It was Instagram Then messages

Then YouTube Then Facebook marketplace Then Hilton honors fucking And then Safari and then X with 31 minutes. 31 minutes spent on X last week. That's pretty good. With the last seven days.

That's pretty good. 31. It used to be the other way though. And used all my content was to always be X. I'll tell you what though, even with all my gripes and complaints. And I usually, I primarily use the following feed just to see what like people I follow. Yeah. Once you see that for you page, they get you.

It's like. Oh, dude. Once you see the for you page, it's like, dude, they have me figured out. Have you ever just been on your phone and all of a sudden freaked out? Yes. About how much they know? No, no, no. Just like, how long have I been on this?

Like, I swear I'll talk about something and then I'll see it in an ad. Like, I'll go on to like check something. And then all of the sudden, I'm on either YouTube shorts or Reels or TikTok and I'm scrolling. And then I go, ah! And then I just like put my phone down. I do that. Because I'm just like, wow, how? How did I get?

Some days I'll be rotting in bed and I'll be like, it'll be start at 2 p.m. And then I've realized it's 10 p.m. And I'm still just like. Holy shit. That's bad. Okay. It doesn't take me eight hours. What the fuck? Where is time gone?

Yeah. Like it's like I just went into fucking a coma and then came out. And then I just. We're at the point where I'm like proud of myself if I'd get through a TV show without checking my phone. Same. Bro, I was at the movies last. Like that's like. I went to the.

Like TV is not even, like, TV is supposed to be like... Unwind, watch it, lock in, yeah, yeah. But now you're, I don't know. TV is unwinding from the fucking brain rot. Yeah, yeah, exactly. It's not even like, there's probably a better word for unwinding, but like TV is like... TV is brain rot and then... TV was brain rot.

And now that's not brain rot. Now that's like being healthy. Yeah, that's healthy. That's healthy content consumption. as opposed to the toxicity that comes out of here Yeah, I went to the movies last night Saw God, dude, how can't I remember? Was it Leo movie?

Yeah. What is it called? It's called... Who'd you go with? APG. Something after another? One day after another, one thing after another. Leo Tiana.

One battle after another. I saw that, got to the movies, but just watched the movie. I felt proud of myself. Who'd you go with? I heard it was great. I heard it was great movie, right? It was pretty good.

The movie made me want like, I wanted more. So it's like, I don't know if they're coming out with like a second one or something. One battle after. What's that about? Don't go too much into it because I do. Leo and is it Tiana Taylor?

Is that an name? DiCaprio? Yeah. Is it Tiana Taylor? They're saying it's movie of the year. Okay, don't show me nothing. Don't show me anything. They're revolutionists.

See what's up And just let's see if I can experience it Yeah sir Yeah Yes, sir. Oh, shit. No way. So what are these?

Ladies and gentlemen, we have some caficitos. Actually, these are cafe abuelitas. And I'm not saying that I don't know if they use a coffee or chocolate abuelita, which is this Mexican hot chocolate with a double shot of espresso. Can we all try it at the same time? Hey, cheers, my boys. Cheers, my boys. Hey, it might be a little hot.

It's coffee. Oh, chat, bring, uh, cheers everybody. Cheers. Cheers, cheers. If you guys are sending in stuff for the race, send in coffee. Coffee would be nice. This is a fucking sugar bomb. That's fantastic.

This is, I got this from La Finka. Yeah, I can't start my morning with this. La Finkka's right. You know where La Finka is? La Finka is on not Fifth Street. Oh, so it's downtown. It's like a Christmas Eve. It's like a Mexican spot.

This is what I want on Christmas morning. I can see that. Bro, Jude's mom used to put some chocolate abulita with coffee in it. Can we have like a Christmas day where we all go like cess? La Finca. I've tried the pastries, but this is what I ordered. And I tell you, I can't wait for it to be winter. Dude, I cannot wait.

It's like we're, what are we like 50% through football season rally? Yeah. And it hasn't turned yet. Like what? You know what that means? It's going to kick our ass. be cold, do you think? It's going to be freezing cold. Max Velocity, my weatherman,

says that My Weatherman. A severe weather storm tropical tropical earthquakes. I'm kidding. That's what he says. How are the... Are you familiar with Max Velocity? Giants are not doing great.

StarWider receiver out for the year. Riley, Max Velocity. Max Velocity. Max Velocity. Max Velocity me. Yeah, I'm ready for winter. So there are two weathermen that I listen to implicitly. We're using that correctly.

That guy? Oh, this is a YouTuber, right? What is YouTube? He is the YouTuber. Just click on something. That does not look like Matt Craig. Yes, it watched when he. Oh, it did there for a second, didn't he?

Like an older brother? You're not going to believe where it happened. You don't kind of see him in 12 years. Looks like Riley. No, that kind of, I see Matt Craig a tiny bit like. Enderlinged North Dakota during the June 20th, 2020. Anyway, so you get your weather off Twitter. No.

Up of YouTube. Bro, you know how I came. across him. He had 25,000 live concurrent viewers watching him do a watch party and storm chasers. Live in the moment as it was happening. I've seen him had 200K. Yeah, no, he got up there. Yeah, yeah. But anyway, listen, yeah, live concurrent viewers. 1.3 million subscribers. When there's like tornadoes in Oklahoma or Texas or whatever, and you go to his page, he has 100,000 viewers all saying, how about this town, how about this town? Wow. Bro, it is...

This motherfucker just loves the weather. Yeah, dude. That's dope. And then he went out, like, recently he went out and got his certificates. Damn, he's got the setup. He got a whole Matt Craig setup. He does watch parties. He's like the red zone of weather.

The red zone of weather. Bro, but yeah, if the red zone got as many views as this motherfucker, yeah, well, okay. Red zone's big. No, I'm obviously joking. But I'm saying, obviously joking. Hopefully, apparently not obvious. But, bro, him and Andrew Peterman... ice is my second weather man.

Ice does, ice is your weather guy? Bro, you have, it's like a, it's like a thing. This is good, man. Yeah, this is really good.

This is dangerous. Yeah, shout out La Finca here in Friscoe, Texas. I just tried. Yeah, we need to. It's not, I want to do. No, it's,

no calories. No, it's, it's, uh, it's Mexican chocolate, dude, it's got no calories. Oh. Can we do an optic? And it can be like an all-day streamers, or like a 24-hour stream or something. Like an optic Christmas,

something. So we're like, we go to, say, use Sess House and, like, decorate it all Christmas Eve. We show up the night before. We eat like a family. White elephant. Optic dinner. White elephants and presents. Then we all sleep there.

Wake up. Put on our pajamas. Have something like this. Then possibly maybe, I don't know, start drinking. Dude. And then we just, that's sort of the spring. I swear to God, I thought you were going to say strippers at one point. Maybe find some incentives, some Christmas games.

I was going to say, no. That's actually a great. I think that'd be fun. No strippers. That'd be fun. Yeah, that's cool, whatever. Optic pajamas. Yo, have you guys seen this Sora shit?

This AI stuff? Oh, did you watch the Casey and I set video? We are entering, and I feel like I said this like a month ago on the podcast, we are entering the point of no return. You're going to see mine today. We are witnessing. You got to load it. And I got a code.

Oh my God, dude. Oh. Is this Kobe playing 2K? Oh, God. Bro, yeah. It's all, bro. I just got a code today to use this app. I'm a, I'm going to figure out something insane.

Listen, listen, share obviously when you can because I want to try it too, but I got to tell you something today, and this is the first time ever. And I am an ally to AI all day long. Like I believe that it's here to do good. Likewise, likewise, likewise. You know, like we all do. We're all loyalists to the AI. I love a guy. But today this morning for the first time ever, I was like, did I just get God?

And then I looked at the comments and it was all. That's AI. I, A, A, in Spanish, yeah. Yeah, or AI, AI, AI. And I'm like, oh my fucking God. There's no return. And it was a bald eagle attacking a cat. And then the cat sort of like scurrying away to be under.

I just saw AI Kobe saying 67 and a 67 and a McDonald. The world is ending. Dude, it's. Bro, I saw a video. Hold on. I wonder. Once AI fixes that. because there's like a little like twinge in the way they talk in like the audio it's like you can

kind of tell it's AI because it doesn't sound completely natural that's going to get fixed in within the year yeah and then it's over yeah and then it's completely over AI used to be like oh man they're gonna trick me in 50 years or you know when I'm 70 they're I'm gonna get got no it's next no probably next year you see pop race uh Kobe believe it or not co o pock one do oh It's not good, bro It's not good Dude, you gotta think like How much does the government have?

Like imagine like the people The Fidel Castro Imagine the people just completely dedicated to this The best The best developers in the world Bruce, come on man It's like how can you

But you also think about how Cool that would have been You know, to see Dude my friend sent me a video last night of like the AI Martin Luther King saying and it's you look like unless you knew he says I hope Luke Weaver gets flown into the sun after the Yankees playoffs or whatever but it's like dude insane how good Martin Luther it looks and sounds that fucking WWE dude I just saw a a an RFK video in which he says like what's like what's

up with Mexican food anyway. It's just a decomposed taco every single time. And yes, surely, of course, we've, we have created a base of ingredients that has allowed for this culture, this cuisine to thrive as much as it has. Sure. But the amounts of people in the thousands, I mean, like, there was like 4,500 comments arguing with each other, nobody realizing that it was a-the-fuck-I. That's crazy.

I, bro, I was literally this morning, I was just thinking about that. I was thinking about how, like, we have gone past that point. It's done already. It's all over. Think about, like, think about if someone makes an AI video of Trump, and it's him saying something crazy. And, like, the wrong person sees that and thinks it's real. It could cause wars. It's terrifying.

Literal wars are going to be caused. Bro, you don't know what's real anymore. You don't. bro when you said have you ever done the ah yeah I did that but obviously like not as as as

but I did feel like anger at like holy fuck there's so many stupid people that are gonna fall for this shit yeah you know I think it's gonna become like a trend like iPhone 1 ask devices where you

just have text phones oh no those are pre iPhone no that the original iPhone didn't have any like I have just for the record let it be known, I had the origin of the first iPhone ever. I got it right after I turned in my Blackberry Pearl.

Yeah, but there was no app store. So it came with what was on the phone. So it was, what I'm saying is like... Yeah, this... Have you ever seen these light phones? It's going to become a thing to get a phone that is not what it is right now. Dude, if Alexis wasn't diabetic, I promise you I would have these. Because it doesn't have the app that keeps track of her blood sugar.

I keep on my phone. And that's the only thing keeping me... I know, but imagine AI sends you... A.I sends you a message. message that says urgent, I don't know what insulin or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then you fucking overdose her. But I do feel like, like I need YouTube to like, like, what if I'm doing something?

I get a flat tire or how to fucking change a tire. What did you do back then? Had a friend with me to do it. Like I'm seeing people that were born in like 1992 post TikToks like, dude, I'm struggling because I got to live before all this shit. And like I can't deal with how good it was then compared to how bad it is now. And like people's mentals are all screwed up. I'm pretty sure that any human can look at a wheel and say one, two, three, four, five screws.

And then look at the spare wheel and say one, two, three, four, five screws bolts. And then, well, I got to lift it. Oh, there's a car. I'm sure that you don't need. You can still call AA Triple A Not AAA

AAA You saw him do this He was like He was like I haven't called him in a bit The thing is Is that when he went into the cleaners They literally sprayed him down with cold water

And then they threw Calcum powder at him And he's like get over there and then he went exactly how it went he went in there I was like you want a haircut no but they took my phone I do think that's like the next thing though

unplugging is going to be like the new train I saw a video on that I believe so too there's going to be a wave of like people trying to unplug and the unpluggers are going to get together and start a cult and I might join to be honest because my God this shit's bad

bro we're saying that could you imagine and I feel like I repeat myself every pot Could you imagine being like 14 right now And this is like what you're growing up with You're not even seeing Earth Wait did you all watch this is your life I told you all to watch? No I didn't watch it yet

All right, guys, before we get back to the podcast, live right now on shop.opticgaming.com, we have our brand new Deadwood collection. I'm rocking the jacket right now. There's a ton of good pieces. Make sure to go check it out and enjoy.

It's the video, man. I got the tripod up. Look, play it. Wait, press. Welcome back to another day. Back. No way you went out there. I was like, bro, these underwear's are fucking...

See, I don't want that... Brushing the teeth of course. Dude. See, I don't want that... Like, I'm thinking of it already. Playing a little fetch with you. Shut up. Good sit.

That's a good boy. He brings it right back. He's fast as shit, man. You're shock him right now. Why? I don't know. He was running too quick. He was walking.

Upper, because I'm quitting vape. A little, uh... little little that little stutter I almost redid the whole audio barbershop I'm on his name right now thing in your favorite song at the barbershop the master's lounge and the fucking hood my cut shout out my boy even he had his he worked in a barbershop then he had his own little studio of just him and now he opened his own barbershop you haven't fucked your shit up Picking a shit. Whoa, what did I see at the box?

You know how long it took me to edit that? There was like four people in there. I felt kind of weird. Anyways, got him. He's fucking young. Look at him. He's so cute, dude. He's the best.

He's the best. Shock him on this video. He's the best. Shock him. Your dog's got to be a warrior. The thing is, is that we can't even make a big deal out of it because Hassan might get mad at him. Like you see what you did

Like a stream Fucking prick You're getting me in trouble A little puke bowl A little puke bowl But we gotta take Chewy out again He's in the fucking jungle

He's a face of a little fit check Oh Oh Remember I'm often I used to bust that move out With the What are we watching this whole fucking thing? Yes. Look my nails.

I know, I want that. He got the manny paddy. Wait, was that really hurting? Are you? No, it was ticklish. Oh, it was tickling. Yo, you got a cute doing this. Yeah, I like them.

So tomorrow we're going fishing, so you're going to have. I am doing one. Oh, la Ventana, dude. Holy fuck. Who's that? I didn't know. I was there. You never work a day in your life.

Got some food. Went to the movies. uh i enjoyed that movie i forget what the fucking name was called i looked away from my phone but we got some god those are you got some right pants some fucking goose some fucking golden goose shits duke and dexter with some more protein but they fit tight as fuck yeah throw them out i guess i'll be fat for life dear lord thank you so much for another day bring me a little peace and mental clarity anxiety stressors and depressors the end is so good One thing I'm not sure.

Shut up. You're fucking, don't say nothing. It was great. Keep doing that. Don't even fucking think about doing it. Just do it. Well, listen. No, you're going to overthink.

You're going to convince yourself out of doing something that's good. It's not constructive. What I'm doing. Dude, I've known you for fucking a decade, dude. It's not constructive. No. Just do what you're doing. It's great.

But can I say one thing? Fine. All right. So like the beginning. underwear parts. And I make that my thumbnail. I think having that as like my thumbnail and in

the beginning, I think it might make people not like it because you can see people's reels of what they like. And no one wants to like a reel. You'll see it that they liked it. So you click it and like oh, what's this? And then my video pops up and I'm just in fucking

underwear. Dude. Or like the scroll past. This is exactly what I'm I'm saying it's going to get less interaction. No, you don't know that. It might get less. I think it might get less interaction because people don't want to hit like. Shut.

Because it shows your, who people will follow you. It shows them what you like. And no one wants to see a dude in Calvians liking a, John's liking a dude in Calvin's. What a. Well, I wouldn't like it. Weird guy.

Dude, it's, but they're not liking that. Well, that's only part of it. If you were into the whole time, fine, fine. But it's like a whole, that was just comedic. Yeah, no, I like the video. I guess maybe I was overthinking like. Yeah, no shit. Maybe I was overthinking the thumbnail.

Maybe I was overthinking the thumbnail. No, you think overthinking everything. What was more cruel? Hassan, Zapping? Or sniffing the bud? I already got those comments too. Did you know that's animal abuse? If that's animal abuse, then he's getting abused daily.

I would definitely say. And he likes it. So I think it's a treat. That's insane Also I'm not digging up my fucking asshole It's a fucking side cheek scratch No we get it

You know what I'm saying guys Yeah yeah yeah in there Yeah yeah yeah anyway Just remember you guys That's like that's just the human Because I'll post one of my food videos I'm like that was hilarious And the next day I'm like dude I'm a fucking loser

I watch it back No I have to edit my videos watch it Yourself back Dude I watch them 20 times Like a whole like I watch this probably 10 times last night Any aspiring creators Then I get high watch again Then I wake up the next morning watch again

I'm like all right I guess I can post I just try to convince myself of reason to not post it There was a point When I was when I was editing the vlog Talk about maybe sometime last year I was editing the vlog and I As I was editing

I'm like oh this is why I don't watch this shit back You know like this is why I don't watch this shit back You think it's cringe? No I don't think it's cringe I just didn't like myself in a certain light or the I just don't know something that I said like fucking made me like

should I leave that in there and I started questioning myself I'm like what the fuck am I doing back in the day it was just cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut send now I record bro I've been vlogging this entire chat I've been vlogging this entire time I just haven't edited it story of my life

didn't even think about editing it just record it let's talk cod next I've gone to Tokyo twice recorded both trips. Haven't edited? Oh, you got to do that. You got to make a total. It's got to Japan vlog. I'll buy my own ticket.

Time out. Guys, guys, guys. Let's make, let's let's do it right now. Okay, because Liv and Jude can't go to Tokyo this year. Mid-November. That is race to master prestige. That is possibly the worst. End of November.

Time you could have picked. End November. End November, early December. Thanksgiving. Let's talk, God, Next. Call the Duty next. That was a lot of fun. Riley, just started getting my clips ready, dude.

Yeah, Las Vegas. Can I say something? Yeah, I love this game. Yeah, see, I love this game. Everyone thinks we're lying when we say it. Dude, bro. The amount of times people have been telling me that I've been being paid, like, how much are they paying you to say this?

My brother, I wish. I'm not being paid at all to say anything. Obviously, it's in my best interest for Cod to be good, but I haven't praised Cod in a long time. And no one knows that because whenever I'm like, yeah, this game's actually pretty good. They're like, you say that every year. I'm like, I haven't said that. I mean, I haven't said that in a long time. I say this is my year every year.

Fine. But I will say, like, I haven't played a beta or any really any call of duty in the last three years where I've been like, man I can't wait to get home and play. Yeah. And with the amount of gas that I'm getting from professional players like Shotsie, like Dashie, and Hydra, it just makes you want to play more.

And I mean, yeah, I'm serious. Dude, it's really fun. And they're finally, you know, I think Battlefield gave me a tiny bit of pressure that they have held in a very long time. Get your fucking arm, bro.

You're not. That's funny To my to my to my in my defense This is war zone Yeah Riley you're a competitive player Not this one you break No I think the gate

I think that what they've I think I think it's actually crazy that Finally after when did my When in I was said when did 2019 come out Holy shit Yeah Since 2019 they've, Call of Duty has finally admitted

the skill-based matchmaking system. They've never said skill-based, they've never, I don't think they've ever said skill-based matchmaking. No, I think that was what. They have their own way of putting it. But it's like, this playlist is adjusted so. It's a classic matchmaking and shit. Dude, Call of Duty.

Is everyone just playing that? At the end of the day, when people, if you go out and ask anyone in the real world, you go to fucking Target and you ask somebody, Hey, have you ever played Call of Duty? If they have 90% of the people be like, yeah, I played Black Ops 1, Black Ups 2. I stopped around like whenever the Jetpack stuff came out.

And like, so when we think about the glory days, we think about obviously the good maps and stuff. But like, you're right. It was the matchmaking system that like anybody can get on. You're going to be bad at first because you're playing the general public. But you get better. And as you get better, you can see yourself get better. progressed throughout the game.

That hasn't happened in six years. Every game I've played feels like an algorithmic, like... You're playing against a bunch of hitches. Everyone's 15 and 15. Everyone, the map's, the map is 70. If it's TDM, it's 70 to 64. It's like, it's literally built to be a close thing. And in people who play a lot, that means that you're going to be playing.

other people that are trying their absolute artist. Yeah. And then you want that though? No, I don't want that. You just want to play randoms. I want it to be a general randomly, not randoms, randomly. Yeah, I want it to be a general public thing which is what call it do you should be if you want to play people

of your skill level, play ranked play or if you want to, if you want to, because like I can't I haven't been able to play with like a friend that's outside of my skill level in years. Like I can't play with fucking Riley, his trash ass.

Because like the skill base is just going to be so bad. But but if you try to say that to the general to like people on the internet, they'll be like, all you want to do is farm lobbies. Yeah. I don't want to farm lobbies. I want to be able to just chill and not have to, I want to be able to, if I want to unlock an attachment on the worst pistol, I want to be able to do that. Not go through hell for two hours playing people that are using the same three guns.

the whole game, which is what's been happening for six years. It doesn't matter, and it's not, you're not just always playing against nobs. It's just random. It's the same, bro, you're still getting sweaty games. It's not like you've never played against tryhards growing up. Like it's, I think some games you're against people who just get on and have never played. Some games you're playing against pros. It's, it's, it's the best part of it.

Like, you go into pubs and you don't know who you're going to play against. Sometimes it's going to be shit and sometimes it's going to, oh, what the fuck? I was scrap on the other team. I watched Jev's video on it and Jeff had probably one of the best points is like, what made the good years of Call of Duty so good is every game was different. Yeah. Every game you would go in and if you're the only good guy on your team, then you like lock in. You use the best guns.

If your team's wiping the floor with the other team, use that. Pull out of a sniper. Yeah, pull out of a sniper. Use that moment to like listen to music or like whatever. Every game is different. And it seems like the last six years, every game has been the exact same, which can't encourage... They're doing everything right right now.

They truly are. I think they're doing everything right. And I think they've fucked themselves. That sentence has not been said. In a long time. Listen. They don't believe I even just heard that out of y'all. I think they've kind of fucked themselves by admitting it.

Because now... By admitting what? By admitting that there's a... Even though we all knew it, it's very obvious, that the matchmaking system is different. because if they release the game and don't include this open... I think it shouldn't even be an open mosh pit, regular mosh pit.

This should be the matchmaking system for all of the playlists. Yeah. Because this is what call... It's the first time I felt like call of duty is call a duty in a long time. Yeah, they don't really have a choice now. Like they kind of have to go forward with what they just did because they're going to get so much heat now. I'm good.

I also want to say, From the way I look at the game Maps are the most important part of the games for me And I think they've given us some great maps so far And we've only played the beta Like the maps are vibrant, they're colorful Cortex is actually like an amazing map I think competitively every map

Bar Blackheart Is competitively viable for at least one mode right now Which I think is kind of crazy to have every single map in a beta In my opinion be competitively viable And like they're tuning things day in, day out Yeah It's like kind of strange. At Kodnecks, I was talking to some of the devs.

Like the head map designer came up to me on three separate occasions. And she was like, anything you can let me know about the maps, please tell me. Three different times in like an hour. And I was like, I haven't had enough playtime. But like once I get more playtime, I would love to tell you what I think. Like that attention to detail and that care, I think, is what we're looking for. The Warzone team came up to Symphony as soon. as the stream was over, it was like, hey, can we talk to you for like 10 minutes?

And he was like, sure. War Zones in hell. I know. But regardless, War Zones absolutely in hell. Warzones fucked. But multiplayer's in a good spot. Wait, why is Warzone fucked? Because they have like no...

It's just Verdansk. Like, actual Warzone players, most of them think rebirth is just a glorified TDM. So what they care about is like the big map experience. So they make us play Verdansk at Kodnext. And it's just two new POIs. one which is a recycled one. They're like, where is the hype for us? Multiplayer's killing it.

We have nothing new. The current iteration of Warzone has like no roadmap. There's no improvements. There's nothing new. There's no meta changes. The Warzone is just like, what about us? I also don't, I loved Blackout. I think this is a cop out personally.

What is? Like being like, being like, hey guys, guys, in six months, blackouts coming back. Isn't that awesome? It is. Inspired by Blackout. It's not Blackout. Whatever.

They brought back Raid how many fucking times. This is a map. The way that Raid is a map for multiplayer, this is a map for Warzone. Yeah, but I don't know if the best part of Blackout was the map. I think it was the movement. I think it was the grapple. Yes, yes.

It was the ability to, dude, loadouts for me are like the worst thing that's ever happened. I hate loadouts. It's the worst thing that ever happened. I hate them. Like the RNG didn't, like, There's no more RNG, really, and that was part of the allure of this multiplayer thing. That moment of, like, killing somebody in Fortnite and they drop a gold scar.

Yeah, you're like, what the fuck? You're like, oh, my God. They're not going to have loadouts in this. You don't think they are? No, it's inspired by a blackout, which means there's no way they have loadouts in this. Because what else is going to make it blackout-esque if you don't, if you have loadouts in it? I don't know. I don't know.

I think, I don't know. What's loadouts? Like being able to buy your set of guns? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like when you dropped the load out. Like blackout was you had to find it or kill someone to get it. That was it. There was nothing?

You can't like buy your own gun? No. This is what we should do. And chat, you guys are included in this. Down below, if you have seen, watched or played. I don't think the war zone beta's out, right? No, no, no, right? It's just zombies.

Just zombies and multiplayer. From what you've seen, what are your thoughts on that, you know, on the off chance that somebody from Trey-Rick is not only watching this video, but also reading the comments on this video, here's your chance. Give your opinion, don't be pricks, okay? Don't do what Riley did. But I'm genuinely excited.

And I'm excited too. I just think a lot of people are like anti-Cod these days and just want to hate. Once again, goes back to my original point of a lot of people on the internet being miserable. So I feel like that ties into it. This is the first time I feel like the community is being truthfully optimistic

in so many different ways about so many different things in this beta, in this new game. I think a lot of, I think a lot of people are saying on anything Call the Duty related, like, who cares, we're playing Battlefield or like only X more days till Battlefield comes out. And I don't think that is because Battlefield is that much better of a game. Just not Call Duty. Because in reality, like, Battlefield and Cod are so different. I don't think they've really ever competed with each other.

Well, that's the funny part. Real quick to cut you off. Everyone's like, we want the war style. then they get a World War II game and they're like, this is fucking terrible. So it's like, then what do you really want Call Duty to do? Because if they give you the old school

World War II style, you're like, this is dull, this is slow, this is whatever. What do you want? I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what I want. I'll tell you what I want next year to be Call Duty for Remaster Remaster. And then I want that to just be the game for the rest of life. I think what I think to go back to where I was saying

like people talk about Battlefield, like I think it's less of like oh Battlefield's that much better of a game. game we're going to play battlefield and it's more of just like the fatigue of what call of duty has been yeah because buying call of duty every year and it being very similar because it's a call of duty and then on top of that putting the cheating the cheating issues the the what is it scan and repair update requires restart then you've got the skill based matchmaking all of that on top of the fact that you have to buy it every year i mean i think the fatigue is that

an all-time high. This is awesome. Latteachian Blackop 7. 97% of cheaters ban within 30 minutes of signing. More cheater providers I've been taken down with many providers now saying their cheats are unusable. Uh-huh.

Less than 1% of cheaters get into a match remove within minutes. That's awesome. I haven't seen a cheater. Did we not hear that? Like last year, though? Yes, the whole year. No.

I don't know. Also, if I am a cheat-cheats provider, you had to do a bios change. There are different things that you have to do for Blackop's 7 that they never required before, which I'm surprised they did because I always thought that they'd be scared to introduce that to like casuals who don't have that issue of running into cheaters. Like, majority of our people playing don't run into cheaters. So the last thing we want to do is make them go through these loops. Right. Is that what Seth was

talking about in the text? Yeah. The U-E-M-I. The TMP or TPM, you have to go disable. So before you get on the game, you have to do that? That's why I'm actually optimistic. Kind of like Valerite. When Matt Craig said, you got to turn off your computer. And as soon as it turns off, spam the something key. And I'm like, what in the fuck? Is this like the up, up, down, down, left, right, left right, B.A. Select.

But when we were talking to the dev about it, he was like, if you're playing cot on PC already, you're already in that percentile of people that take it more seriously. If you do what? If you play caught on PC regardless. Oh, yeah. You're not, because almost all of the casuals are playing on PS5 and Xbox. I will say, I think Battlefield is a great game. This game is a great game so far.

I hope it continues that way because I think it'll only elevate both games if they have this like competition going on. It makes both games have to be better. For sure. So I'm wound for both. I'm not going to be. No, dude, if the Battlefield, if the Battlefield BR is great, I've just never liked the battle, like, what? battlefield is. I never liked like the big map and the planes and the there's so much shit flying everywhere. Like I never really like loved that. All I'm going to say is that I am giving

this game the utmost props and believe me and nobody paying me to say that. You know what I'm saying? I have no reason to be any way nice to nobody about that. Yeah, that's true. But I am a big fan of the studio, you know, no beef there. With Trayorke. See, I've seen these clips, but I haven't watched. I haven't. Is that real? Yeah.

Dude, what? Who are these guys? Like, you'll see someone like this live streaming on TikTok. Wait, this is the first cheat that I think looks pretty fun. I can't lie. I do want to test it. I want to try it out. Dude, I don't see anything.

Dude, that is absurd. Like, imagine you click on my stream and you just see me doing this. The thing is, is like, okay. I got I got I got I got I got this out of me and I'm not talking about the cheats but I got this the The Riley comment dude what is he doing wait where in text chat saying who's cheating nice one Riley I bet Riley does go in like leave comments Oh dude Riley is a Riley is a reddit guy's red at Riley I got him thinking He better not bring that up near me

I'm excited for this year not only are the storylines going to be one of the most exciting ones. Not only is the game a fucking really good one. And if these fucking cowards ban snipers, they're going to ban snipers. I got to tell you something. The sniper kills in one shot. Okay.

If they miss their one shot, it takes three points some seconds to reload and be able to shoot again. So anybody who is willing and enable body to use an SMG or an AR that shoots 30 bullets every one second, I'm telling you, bro, it's already gone. No, I don't think so.

I feel like GVs or wagers or something should be allowed. They got to be in this year. Why would it be in this year? Because they're not cowards anymore. Because I have a good feeling, and I think, whoo-hoo! Kenny, Kenny thinks he's hex out there. I want to see Merck play.

I don't know how he's playing this game without paddles. Bro. There's no way you're hitting A. He is variety. Bro, I saw somebody. Somebody upload a clip. And I saw the shots and I'm like, who the fuck? And then I saw his murk and I was like, oh my God.

How is he jumping? Like say he jumps on the left wall. There's another wall to the right. So he takes his thumb off again to jump on this right wall. And then someone's under him. So he has to take it back to the thumbstick and like how is he fucking like? No, this motherfucker is going to be insane. How is he aiming?

How does he control his aim like that? his thumb is constantly off the joystick. Yeah, he's a freak. There's like, there's some wall bounces that like once you, dude, this game is going to be so fun to watch. I know I'm going to get fucking worlds thought. Dude, I'm trying to get, dude, I got, I got like fucking four different ideas for, I just need to get three, like, actual clips. Yeah. The rest are going to be filled with, like, just fucking shots that I'm like nasty about.

but there's no follow-up through. I'll get out like an insane three-piece. And I'm talking about like a fucking crazy snap on that I shouldn't get. And then after that, I die on the fourth. And you hear me say, I always choke on the floor. And I do.

This is the one that I saw. I didn't know who it was at first. And I'm like, who the fuck? I mean, dog. This is my dude. I saw something crazier. I saw like Aunt and Tommy react to like a final kill cam of his. And it just looked.

It wasn't that good. The one in. It looked like he was. cheating. Like it was that crazy. No. No, it was Mason, but Mason, but it was, it was, it was on, it was on, it was on this map, it was on the map where Kenny got those kills in the, in the backspon, right? It looked like he was like, yeah.

We should put his stuff on, uh, the Reddit where the streamers are cheating and just be like, dude, I found a cheat, a new cheater, just watch him, watch him, just eat it up. You are king bait, you are king rage bait. You've been doing that shit since the scuff house. I love that shirt. Yeah, every, every Saturday. Bro, this guy took two... He did two hours of work to pretend as though he was some fucking rage baiter on...

Oh, yeah, I did that. He put an L instead of an I in it. I pretended that I was a cod burner. Yes, that's what it was. Fucking did. One time I made a... I made a Reddit account called, like, it was the codburn.

Remember the cod burner? Yeah, of course. But, uh... I put like a one instead of a, I don't know what I, or a zero instead of whatever. But I had like the account, same exact account, but something was different. The old was zero or something. Yeah, yeah. And I, and I got up out of my stream set up.

And I had like, you know when you click down on the middle mouse button and you can scroll down? Yeah. I left that on. So it was scrolling down. So, and then I went, I was like, I'm going to go to use bathroom. And I went to the bathroom. And it scrolled down to where you could see my Reddit account. And it was the cod burner.

And it got put on the red. But it's insane And then I ended stream And I came back And people were like talking about it in chat And I was like I got a head out guys And so I ended stream

It's such a fucking genius That is hilarious They ever find out who that was We all knew We all knew who it was The cod burner Yeah All right listen

At the end of this Obviously we still have to talk about Halo This is obviously our last topic of the day Although I am having a great time Doing the podcast We finished third I interviewed

formal yesterday for a piece of content that's coming out. I don't know when, but there's something in his eyes. There's something in there. And I was talking to him, and I don't want to, I really, it was so good. When's this going to come out? This Thursday.

Tomorrow, right, Riley? Okay. Look how Riley sits too. Why? Well, I'm just saying, tread lightly with what you're going to say, because whatever you say, people listening are going to be like, oh, that's why they got third. And I knew there's something going on with the team.

Heck said there's something. in his eyes. That means maybe something and someone else, they got beef going into worlds and something happened with this team. No. Because that's already going on in Halo. Sure. Fine. Whatever. Everyone's saying, like, as soon as the cod stuff, legend, potentially

being on a team, Renegade wanting to play channel, whatever. Everyone's already talking. Hey, listen, I will say, there's a world championship. The GM, the GM has served this purpose. I'll tell you that once. Yeah. What'd you do? It didn't work out. Don't tell you. Well, no, no, no. Everyone keeps saying,

legends on a team and I'm like nothing came across my desk yet so he's not going fucking anywhere I don't know what you guys are talking about that's pretty you don't know uh look I'm I'm excited to see them play I'm excited for worlds this is like this is the send-off and yeah and the amount of pressure that's on them already keep on adding more to it keep on adding more pressure make them feel as though it will be the end of the fucking world if they don't win fucking halo Yeah, the thing is with all the The cod talk and stuff And it's like damn

Once that got leaked You just don't see their passion anymore And they're scrimming less Which they probably aren't even scrimming less People are just saying that And they've been like doing worse in cups And now Apparently someone's

Three others are mad at this person on the team And like Hunter JJX went on his stream And said something like that About our team? Yeah There were like three players mad at someone And I was like, bro, or like they talk shit about someone in a call. And I was just explaining like, bro, every team I've ever been on, it's like late night,

2 a.m. you're in a call with your friends. Like, you will say like, you know, this dude was getting shit on. He's been getting shit on all week or like you will talk shit. You'll say stuff. But it's not that serious. Boom, you're on the next day. You're screaming. Like, it's not that deep.

But like people are trying to make it deep. Bro, what? And people saying that like they're not focused and the codews ruined them and something like that. Like, bro, that is. you got to think of it from where their heads at. They form this team for one reason, and that is to win events, and especially win worlds.

Cod's not even say they all switch the call of duty or something. That shit is not in their mind until this shit's over. At the end of the day, they are winners and they want to win. And the biggest event of the season, worlds coming up for Halo. Like,

there's nothing to even be distracted by. Like you started this season trying to win and you're going to end this season trying to win. And they are fucking winners. They have the mentality to do it. Like they're not half ass and nothing. So I would not be worried about their minds being elsewhere because like bro, they want, all they want to do is win.

Even if they switch the cod, they want to go over there and win. But right now they're in Halo. They want to win in Halo. Trust me, that is their number one priority is to win in Halo. I'm not worried about where their head spaces. As if they don't want to walk away from the last. possible tournament in the halo competitive history as the winner that's what I'm saying like they're more focus than ever yeah motherfuckers I do like that Sunday matches

will be best of seven I think that's dope yeah I do too a lot of halo we end we end we end we end out halo and a lot of halo which hopefully hopefully me and APG will be there trying to figure that out as long as we have a setup that's another agenda thing that's another agenda thing everyone's like oh optic don't make a final and now every match on Sunday is the best of seven and Tashi was like we've been working on this for once. I saw that I saw who it was and Tashi was like we've been working on this for months like this is not

anything to do with anything like. I read the name and I'm like never heard of it. The Halo chat is fucking crazy bro. They're on formal's dick. Yeah it's so weird. Like in the good way? No. No. It's like they're like who's most popular player we hate him. That's what I see

that's what I see in the No, guys, I'll tell you something. Optic wouldn't have been fielding a team in HALA if it wasn't formal. So give a kiss to the formies, please. I mean, people just think of formal like fucking, what was it, AW formal when it's just 1.5s dominating. He's the number one player on the team. When you're teaming with legend, renegade and fucking bound,

it's not easy to do the best to dominate. Like shit's getting, motherfuckers are getting, horn through and you might just be in the back trying to put in some shot. It might not be going your way. Formal is formal, but like when you're playing with elite players, like it's hard. I want to say hard to play with, but it's hard to look good with. And he's not worried about looking good. He's trying to just make the best plays and win.

Yeah. Anyway, that is going to do it for this episode of the podcast. Ladies and gentlemen, I do appreciate every single like. Leave your suggestions on Warzone down below. And we'll see you guys next week. All right. Please, guys. Please.
