Okay, well, like, not to like keep gassing mad, but like, you can't really add mad to a team and it doesn't get better just because like, kind of has like all the traits of a godlike team. I mean, like, I just like, that's a good fucking point. He's like, I never really thought about that. It's just a good fucking point. It's like he's got. Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode number 64. The Optic podcast. This is, uh, we haven't, we're doing the eavesrop later.

yeah just this was Matt abandoned by honestly I don't know what the fuck you're doing 2017 through 2019 it was just said causing second time you see it's so true Yo, where were you last night when the hail hit? In my place. At your place? Yo. I have a pretty funny story with that too. I was like to each show.

I was getting ready to dip, right? And then I just finished packing up my shit there. And then I was like, ooh, there's a pull there was still there. So I was like, I might loki make myself in a little pole. But like, as I was like grabbing the other bowl, like, like, the glass was like, somebody like, it made a sound that somebody was like, knocking on the glass. I was like, what the fuck? So I looked over and I was like, wait, that's super troll. Like, is anyone here?

And I was like, wait, there's no one here. And then. And then it sounded like somebody else was not gonna the other glass and then it just kept going across like what the fuck's going on I'm thinking I looked I was like that has to be hail right yeah like tried the fucking what's thing looking through the thing did you go home? No, I was gonna die if I did that I knew he was not man enough to go home bro I was like oh you can you could not have gone home without I was like what do I was like I could just load up another game that could work and then go to breeze it's great dude if I was here I was here I would just I wouldn't even been able to play I was so checked in it first I thought it could have been tornado at first. In another simulation, I get bad timing, I leave three minutes earlier, just getting knocked down.

Dude, that's what I was sure. I was really hoping. Bro, that's a possibility, like, somebody's walking and just bat walking their dog at like 6 a.m. and they're like, oh, dude. There you are, zonked out. What I'm right? Face down in the garage. It was zero to 100.

And a boy there, Hillton. Happy birthday there, buddy. All the, all the goats are born in February. That's not true. That's not true. It's not true. True. In Spanish, they say, Enero Loco, February, O'T

Poco. I don't even know. That's what I've been. I've always said. That's another check. You know, that's, I grew up. I grew up listening to it. Yeah.

I think February is the top three, it's probably in the top three worst months for sure. February? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's a short one. Yeah, it's crazy, crazy people born there.

You know what I mean? Bye, yo, check this out. I'm sleeping, right? Like a fucking saint. Like, if you've ever seen a baby sleep, that's how I sleep. How do you sleep nowadays? Like this

Like Dracula? Yeah, it's like that early that that PCH early bird Anyway, no, but I sleep like this Because I don't know why Anyway, I'm sleeping and I'll start out here And my eyes open and I'm like, I get up like I'm like a dog on all fours Like in the bed

And I'm like looking around And I fucking shake Jude And then she's like it's fucking hail And I'm like oh I grab my phone I bro I I've never heard it be like that. I thought it was Russia. Dude.

Dude, I thought it was the Ruskis. Shout to all my Ruski's brothers out there. I had one of those like those five hour energies yesterday on stream. And it was like hit me at night. So I was like, I couldn't go to sleep. So then I put those like eye mask on. And I was like, maybe I was just good. I'll go to sleep with the eye mask.

Cold? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I had that on. And then I wake up to alexi's, going, what the fuck?

Oh, wait. What the freak? She's family friendly. And I was like, and I was like, what? And then I heard it. And it sounded like gunshots. And my whole,

the whole side of my apartment is all windows. It's all windows. Yeah, you have a mansion too. So it's like big. He thinks I have a mansion. Well, you do live. You have the biggest apartment in the whole apartment complex.

He's got the sweet. And it's like the best location. Dude, he's got the coolest place. I don't ever want to go there. Because what I imagine is too cool. Yeah, I thought about it like, like I was gonna throw like a Super Bowl party. Like, it's just like something for like... It's so sick.

My place isn't big enough for any Super Bowl party. I'll say that. He's a thing bigger for me. His place is not big enough for just a bowl party. For just a regular bowl. You got the Super in that. I don't got that. I just got a cereal bowl.

It's a dad joke. It wasn't that dude. It's always funny whenever shit like that hosting Super Bowl parties? Oh Okay, wait wait wait considering it. Hold on, I was considering it because I want the first time like Matt sees my place because it's only Matt it's only you two that like have this like fantasy of my place I wanted to be like dope. It's like a jungle See you've never seen it though it's like a band like this A cabana dude is it bigger than HQ? No Yeah, is no no no what is not it's like holding like different? If I ever had to go to his place, he'd be there in a smoking coat. Here's the, you're ready, are you like, hello.

With the pipe and shit? He's got a cigar. The monocle. Yeah. Yeah. And like, he's got the hair for it with a crack. Here's the question that you need to ask him. How many floors is your apartment?

Two. Okay. A two floor apartment. How? Wait, he had to think about it? How do you have two floors? There's got to be some secret layer. It's either of your ceiling.

It wasn't just like a two. It was at 25 feet. It's like, I guess you can kind of count. Yeah, I mean, No, it's no, no, because it's a loft. You've a basement? A lot now. I don't have a basement.

Bro, homage and Spratt used to live in the same place. In that place. That's how big it was. Two people used to live there. I'm thinking personal chef and everything there. No. Odurs? You walking at the door?

No, no, no personal chef. No personal chef. No? It's a nice place though. I'm enjoying it. Anyway, so I get up, freaking out, because I'm always alert. Like, I'm always assuming someone's in,

coming to the house. Yeah. I get out there, both of the dogs are like, fucking Henry and Benji, the biggest ones were like, looking out of the window. And I'm like,

you go, pee-pee? That's what I tell him? Then they're like, fuck that. Like, we're not have no pee-p, no pee-pee. No pee-pee, boss. I pissed behind the couch a while again. Bro,

that hasn't happened a long time, but he does when he gets mad. I went, I went, I recorded outside into, into my backyard, and it looked like, bro,

it looked like the movie Greenland. Have you ever seen the movie Greenland? Yeah. It's so good. It was just like, fuck it. I saw like tracers of just shit bouncing off the floor into my windows. And then I see the fucking, uh, the tennis ball sized hail. And I'm like, Jesus Christ.

I hit somebody in the head. They're fucking chaos. Bro, think about where it's coming from. They're lights out. You're walking back to the fucking near place. Matt, what is terminal velocity? What is the, the fastest hail thing? Dude, Alexis was going out and like wanting to look at it.

She was like going near the windows. And I'm like, dude, it literally. They really sounded like the windows were gonna break. It was like, bow, bow, bow, bow. Somebody's car, like, for sure got, like. I haven't looked at that show. I haven't looked at my car yet. 90 miles per hour.

90 miles fastballs. 90 miles per hour. Pure ice. It's a block. 81 is the fastest I through ever. What's the biggest way? What's the biggest? What's the biggest?

Probably the one in the fucking backyard. Bowling ball. Like, I wonder how big hail can get. Bro, like, big. Just a basketball size. It can get, right there. Look at that. What?

Not real. And look how spiky that thing is, dude. That's a fucking eight inches in diameter. Dude, I was thinking about it yesterday. Imagine like that's falling from the sky. Nah, dude. I can tell you that some of those like look that one right in the middle. They'll put together.

Look at that dude in the mid right. Like that's somebody that made that shit up. He's like, I'm shocked. Yeah, yeah. This is. This guy. This is face. He's like, you see this shit?

Yeah. He's like, anyway, I'm going to get back to between two ferns. He put that shit in the freezer for sure. How does it stay intact? It's a ground, though. That's my question. How did that same time? Open the, open the car.

Open the car. Dude. Dude. That's like a bear. That's like, oh, God. That's a bear. A bear just goes to go to work. He just don't went to work.

What if you slept through it? What if you slept through? He didn't know that was hail and you woke up and he was just like that. I'm going to be honest. Get the sun out. I was hoping that the G-wagon got fucked up. That's some rich shit. What?

That's the richest shit I've heard all year. What the fuck? Wait, why? I hope my G-wagon was chocks. Yeah, because you could get a new one. That's what I did. You're hoping your nice car is like, what do you mean? What do you mean?

That's some rich shit in itself. Like, what do you mean? I don't know. Oh, we're a new one. Dude, the funny. Yeah, what is? You shouldn't have a car if you don't have insurance. That's good point.

No, that's good. That's good. That's fair fun. And the other thing is, is like, imagine, I'm paying insurance on a monthly basis just in case something happens. But if nothing happens, they keep it. Yeah. So I'm trying to make those.

I'm trying to get mine. You know what I mean? But did anything happen to the car? No. In the structure or the Raptor. I was. We had the, Jude has both of her cars inside the garage conveniently. I have both of mine outside.

She alphaed me. She did. She did. She did. Get your shit outside. Both cars. I was gonna tell you, last week, last week when you asked me like, last week when you asked me like how long I've been with it, like 20. Yeah.

Like, it wasn't until like, I don't know. Like I wanted, I didn't know how to expand onto it, but like she was fucking super elf. I was dating two women when I, when I first started dating Jude. Hector might be a buggy. Yeah, she knows that. Yeah, she knows that. Wait, and I'm talking about women, right? Like, you know what I mean?

The women. They're shit together. Like, yeah, that's what they go. There comes Jude Alpha. Like, yeah, you're mine. I was like, yeah. Damn. What can we do?

What can we do? You have a dad for you? Anyway. Dude, the funniest part, whenever the shit like that happens is the optic chat just blows up. Like the, on text. Like, everybody was awake. Everyone was awake. I just typed in like, holy shit.

Maddie carries nose loob. Maddie carries nose loob at all times just in case somebody comes out of a dark alley and wants to COVID test it. How do you have to prepare for something like that? It's not. This podcast is brought to you by Honey and Masterclass, and I'll tell you a little bit more about them later on in the podcast, especially Masterclass. I'm a big fan.

And Honey, who doesn't love to save that money? Yeah. Is that the jingle? No. It is now. It is now. It is now.

It is now. OptiCod, go to and O for the weekend there, Brandon. Fuck yeah. Let's go Brandon. Back on track. Not political. Back on track. Not political.

Yeah. What? What's not political? I said, let's go Brandon. Oh my God. What? Oh my God. No.

Why? It's not political. I'm just saying that. All right. Now it's political. If my music's political, then how the fuck can I raise a little girl? Ooh. And I have a little girl.

How have you like the... Or how's the like the overall CDL been this year so far? Now that's like the league or like the game or just everything is the league? The league. Your experience as a player. Oh. It seems like everything's pretty organized. Oh, no.

It's like I guess like, like, the matches are kind of like how they were last year. I think the format, I'm not gonna cap, but I think it's pretty shit. Do you? Yeah, because I don't, it kind of doesn't make sense because they have it so. Can you say that?

Yeah, you can say that. I say that. I mean, everyone says it. Like, so like, if they're gonna find me, you better find me, you better find everybody else. You know what I mean? If you find me, I'm gonna tweet about it. Yeah.

Wait, what's wrong with that? It's just, I don't know. It's so it's like, the way it works is whoever just finishes top eight in the standings for that division, but it's like included like, it's not like there's two groups from last year where there was like, you know, six teams in one group, six teams and another. It's just a whole league.

And then it's like everyone's schedule is different. Like I could, we could play phase like and then you know what I mean? It's kind of stupid actually. And the number two, three, four and fish seed. And then another team could play like the bottom five like teams in the league to qualify. And then if they go three to two, we go three to but they had a better market. Wow. That is kind of.

So they don't know a certain stage and like someone else can get in because their schedule is much. Yeah. Yeah. So they haven't like bounce. And you're in their same group for like with the record. That is so stupid actually. Yeah. That's what we were.

Did you see how close all the. all the maps are. Like, there's like a five-way tie maybe. Yeah, that's fucking insane. Like you guys, you guys are tied,

you guys are tied with the second place team in map count. But, yeah, but as far as like series count, it's different. Yeah. Because it's so wild. If there's like a five-teen tie,

what if, like, you had to nominate one person from each team, right? And you had to go to like a free for all. It's the ISO. No, a gun game.

A gun game. A gun game. It's just a bad to the dad. Who would y'all, who would y'all choose? Shots. Who would you choose? Who's your champion?

I don't even know what the game is. Shotson. We haven't even fucking Red Dead Red Dead Redemption. It was so quick. That kid's so different. He's pretty different. So good.

Also, congrats to Matt for joining the Optic Halo team. Cheers, dude. Here. Take a shot. I don't drink here. I don't drink here. How did that come about? That's different.

I don't know You just beat them And then you were like Hey, I'm here No, I mean I was watching them play At Anaheim They got second

Which is great Yeah They were like right there It just seemed like There was a big gap Between them in Cloud 9 And I think they realized that too Yeah

They just knew They were realistic about it They're not gonna keep wasting time If they're not gonna be able to beat them Yeah Yeah So like they'd rather just like Switch it up a little bit

Which a lot of other teams should do I'm expecting more Roster changes In the next couple weeks Because like at this point They're on like a 5 Pete Like you might as well mix with the roster a little bit.

Yeah. On a 5P? Yeah, they're nasty. I mean, if you count the online ones, which I kind of do, just because... Yeah, you have to have to. I just mean, like, for the 5p. They just been dominating.

It's like, it's my point. It's been dominating. It's like, we came out hot. We won the first one, and then it was, they've won everyone since then, right? I think we won the first two. Two. Oh, we won the first two.

Yeah, the first two. But I mean, yeah. Yeah. They're actually different. Yeah. So I'm just hoping that I can just like level them up a little bit, give them the confidence, like, take it to that next level because yeah they're right there

you're just crazy it's like I mean we're used to it now because you've been grinding but like I it seems like just yesterday we were doing your retirement interview yeah and you were just I was like oh he's just gonna do some content now and it was just immediate new game drops he's fucking on the optic team again just right there and like the front running holy shit yeah are you are you liking everybody sucking you off

too what it's pretty dope I mean who hates that First of all, nobody. Who fuck doesn't like that? Yeah, that's true. Do you like drinking water to survive? I do. Y'all haven't started screaming yet? I think we swim tomorrow, though.

Hell yeah. You're so excited for that? Wait, you're so excited. You're like, you're like, you're like, I'm excited too. I mean, dude, I love it. I have asked you, yeah. I need to chill out. I guess you're gonna be it?

Yeah, what? It's gonna be a show. It's gonna be. It needs to be seen by the fucking masses, dashy. Dude, seeing all like all four, you guys are alive is gonna be dope. That's just really. There's been so many. So hype, yeah.

So we're going to watch that. You know, first and foremost, shout out to Pissola, man. Obviously, like, legendary player. You know, loved having them on optic before. Loved having them on optic this time around. I mean, there's nothing bad that I can say about them. I love hanging out with them. Obviously, like, super fun on camera.

But at the end of the day, we're here to win championships. You know what I mean? And if fine-tuning a dial to make that happen, like, that needs to happen. And I think that with Formals 10 years, of one being an optic, being in front of the green wall for as long as it says, the amount of championships that he's won. I think that that level of leadership, you know, it's, I mean, it commands, that's fucking formal. See what I mean? And he's final.

See what I mean? He's like, guys, I'm embarrassed. Yeah, it feels good. He's like, guys, I'm embarrassed, but keep going. I love hearing it. So what was that? Shut up. Let hecker continue.

So, yeah, I mean, look, I love, obviously, the storyline that he creates, right? Like, I knew, right? that if there was ever going to be a change, that there will be no reason as to why we didn't, you know, try him on. And I personally believe that you're going to win a HALA championship. I think so too. Might as, it has to be with Optic. You know what I mean?

Dude, that shit. Someone's going to have that storyline. It ain't going to be fucking Cloud 9. It ain't going to be E6. I mean, United. Somebody has to. Someone's going to be like, yeah, formal fucking won us a championship after winning Sundeman.

Yeah, it's going to be us. We're going to take credit. for his work god damn it yeah okay well like not to like keep gassing mad but like you can't really add mad to a team and it doesn't get better just because like kind of has like all the traits of a godlike team i mean like i just like that's a good fucking point he's like he's got he's got like he's got like on you know i be the vivious gamer in all of gaming it along with great skills great com vibes great comp great comp great just like great like I mean shit I'm like holy shit I might my friend like a good shit you know

it looks man I was kind of talking about right this could be yeah but he just he just knows how to bring like the best set of teammates cool that's obviously that's a way of putting it I do I try to bring the best out of my teammates yeah and when I remember when you when you first started playing this new halo I was like I wonder how long it's gonna last but you're still like loving the game and shit mm hell yeah I mean like yeah it's really fun yeah and even and even now like the game the game needs adjustments obviously like they kind of fumbled the bag with that but the game still fun enough for me right now and it's like lowest state yeah where like rank means

nothing the maps are shit like they're not shit they're just like overplay we only like five maps yeah yeah yeah yeah there was too more god like once forge comes out dude like that the game could talk about maps talk about lack of maps how are you all and how does for how does forge work like hitch makes a map and if it works like you can you can you can open up a map anybody yeah go on their game they can make a map from start to finish like have a bunch of tools that tell you where you can put boxes and barrels and everything and you can make whatever the fuck you want you should you should have seen how creative people people go back in hail three so creative you can make like mazes you can make like jump maps it's like super fun dude when forge comes out it's gonna ample it's gonna

like put a resurgence in the game because like right now nobody play the only like there's a very there's a small like big team battle community and then it's competitive and that's like all of halo yeah and once forge comes out then you can do anything you can do mazes you can do like uh vehicle races. Yeah, yeah, like, a warth- tracks. It makes sense for, like,

the three-four-three to just release Forge like off the rip because it just takes stress off them. Like, if you want maps, go make them yourself. Right.

Why the fuck would you not want that in the game ASAP? Yeah. Do you think now, do you think now that we have, that partnership, obviously, once it finalizes

and ink tries, do you think that we'll see fucking Master Chief in, in Warzone? Yeah. Master Chief in Warzone. That'd be crazy. That'd be so sick.

Once all that shit comes together? That'd be sick. Dude, once all that shit comes together? Yeah, I think so. If I see an elite jetpack? That'd be sick, dude. Wait, if I were you player one, the final medal.

I've seen an elite running around, I'll be checked. Oh, my God. You're a big ass elite. You're shooting them, and his shields are like, like, lighting up. Yeah, but you're Spider-Man, so you're like, uh, I'm spiky, though. I'll just do it. Yeah. That's crazy.

Wait, do you think the Marvel would allow? Yeah, right? Yes. It's just, I mean, it. Because, Fortnite, Fortnite, is cartoony enough to where it could be deemed make-belief. The fuck is. It's like, it's like, from a brand's perspective, people that sponsor e-sports, they don't want to go all the way through with violence.

Like, one of the main reasons that is tough to sponsor Counter-Strike teams is because it asks terrorists as the name of them and counter-terrorists. But if they were called Red versus Blue, then it'd be a little bit easier. But the fact that it's got the word terrorists, like they sponsor terrorists. Isn't Fortnite more collaborative with the people they work with? And Activision is more like, you pay us everything. Yeah. So I think once that, because like every, every, every. Everything that we've had in Warzone, like the screen mask and stuff, it's like promotion from that.

Whereas like, Fortnite is like, hey, let's do this and we'll split the money. Like so the NFL stuff. Yeah. So maybe it maybe with Activision having or Microsoft having Activision, maybe it'll be more collaborative. Maybe. So then we can see like- Or it would be worse. Or my God. We're just the Hulk right now.

I don't think it could be worse anymore. It can't. It can't. Instead of parting with you. I don't want to, I don't want Activition to be like, hold my beer. Watch this shit. Well, I mean, yeah. I mean, who knows?

Have you been playing a league matches, right? Me? Yeah. Yeah. What did you get placed? I don't know. It's not a competition, actually. Yeah, it is.

Always. What did you get placed? Listen, it's not a competition, but if it was, I'd be winning. I forgot. I was, I don't know the, whatever's under elite, because we've ranked up to elite now. That sounds like so far down. It's very far down. Elite?

No, elite. It's under master. It's not bad. Oh, yeah. I, I, I don't know my glasses. Is it like casual? It says contender. Does that say dog shit?

It's contender specialist, advanced, expert, elite, master, and challenger. Holy shit. It does look like airbender. What did Seth get? What did Seth get? Challenger two? Challenger two? I mean.

I'm like that was so bright up Just against the wall No no I think you would I think you turn out Yeah I want to show that you wouldn't There's only one way to find out I want to learn Val Cause like when when we got into CS

I literally knew nothing about CS zero things And so over the course of like A few like tournaments It's easy to understand. S&D, right? I mean, the economics of it, obviously making it. Yeah, the economy is the part. Gun rounds and all that stuff, yeah.

Yeah. I was just, like, standing over Mixwell's shoulder, just like, okay, that's what that is. That's where, like, learning all the maps. Dog, I couldn't tell you a single Valer map. And I don't know the abilities and there's just walls and bombs. It seems like a lot. It seemed like a lot at first.

Yeah. Because, like, when Dylan was introducing me and Barron of the game, I was like, what the fuck's going on? Yeah, like, we were just like, I mean, you play it and play, you start realizing like, okay, this person does this, this and this and that's it. And this and this and that's it. It's just like a repetitive thing. And once you know what you know it, you know what they do.

That's kind of how it is in Apex too. Like though we were playing an Apex ring for a little bit. Those like late fights, there's just shit everywhere. It's just. Everyone's just dropping all their shit. They're like letting it all out. You're like getting scanned and then there's fuck. Because like it's a flash grenade that's coming at you, but it's in the bird.

Like sky. You know, she's so many different flashes. You don't even know what's going on. She's not flashing you. Like her flash is like a bird. Oh really? And like decide when it's like. Is that one flash where the dude goes

And then there's like a little sphere like a sphere that like you can know this is an actual bird Are you talking about Phoenix you're about Phoenix fire? It's like fire yeah it's like fire and he's like fire and he like snaps his fingers and he pulls it up Yeah, yeah, yeah, like goes around the corner. Yeah, like what do you what do you do? Yeah, or Raina but like mostly jet jet's the one should be he should be on KJ to me yeah Yeah, you should be like off though. That's why he should be on KJ yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah or Cypher. The way he plays for sure. I don't work. I chow. Look at my first butt percentage guys a dashpack Hachyside 490s because you're an offer. It's because you're an offer like dude it's crazy Your rifle's gross too, but you're like I said I have 35% headshot percentage though. Oh shit. Do you really?

What did you were saying that I brought up a good point about Valerite? Yeah. Oh yeah my bad hold up Well yeah okay yeah because I'm just making sure we're scrimming um because like you brought up you brought up a very good convoy i was like could i indulge in this but anyways um yeah anyways the thing i was talking about val is just the ranking system is so godlike that i just i don't know like for me it just like instantly hooked me it gets your competitors because because the ranking because one the players like as you go on just get better and better it's not like cod cod i'm and i'm still playing with people that are like hamsters dude and val like and it's like and it's like i don't know it's just super rewarding everyone's going hard and like and cod like i'm a challenger no one's

calming and no one cares like people are just they're losing yeah they don't give a shit anymore they're shooting his body like Bruce talk to me and I look it's a 3d form like you didn't even want to play with me like you just let me out on this bow cage left to dry and after he's a sub and it's just like we lost and I just lose Elo for free

the kids are shooting my body in their team shit on Bruce I'm like that's the fuck's wrong with you I'm hopping off so it's I wonder what happens it's like yeah what do you mean like when you like if I I don't know like if I shot a professional fucking call a duty player and I killed him

I don't think that I would I could bring myself to truly believe that I'd shit on them you know what I mean you'd have to like shit on them to be like but even then even then like that's like the one out of a hundred times that that happens yeah it's a pro fucking player yeah yeah there's sometimes like I'll play in S&B

and it's first round and I'll get shit on like the first round right and then my whole team was like a one B3 and then they're like there's no way it's the real dashy and then for the rest of the map I'm not trying just so they don't think it's They're like, yeah, you know it's a fucking fraud. I don't say anything in game chat. I'm just walking getting blooded for one and six. That was a fraud for sure.

They're like, yeah, I can't be this fucking weirdo. They tweeted you, somebody's, somebody's acting like you. Yeah, they're tweeting me. I'm like, nah, that wasn't me. I'm in bed right now. Anyways, I didn't play today. I'm in Hikari. They could not have been me.

Yeah, Blackups three. Because that's when we, we first got the gears team. One in Halo, one in gears. Well, the thing with, the thing with Halo and gears is they never. It's literally right over there. I see it. Oh, is that true? Which one?

Oh, no, not that one. The other one. behind that one. Yeah, not that one either. I'm not bad. I feel bad for the gear scene, man. Why? Because the thing with,

the thing with Halo is they got, they got their like breakout game. They got the blockups too. They got the Halo 3. But like, Gears never got that game that, like, transcended. It just, like, didn't take off

because, like, it just didn't yet. I feel like Gears 1 was the game that could have taken off. Was it? I play Gears 1. Gears 1 is fun as fuck. The game was just too gory to be like, to be, like, you know what I'm saying?

Yeah, you'd shock and so one and they were just, Like they're just like exploding into just blood is flying on my screen you know what I mean You know when having those chainsaw fights then the guys just getting sawed and have you know It's so trolly and it's so like holy it's like a horror movie and so my god no wonder the game's not popping out Like if the kids like nine years on his mom watch her fucking game off She's like you playing you just like Fortnite though she's like you're good she's like building shit. Yeah, and he's just Cenkine up this looks fun speaking of little houses dude it is I it I swear to

It got to the point to where I ordered everything that I needed to order to go camping. Oh, you're going to make a video. Because you don't even have to talk to them anymore. You don't even have to talk in them anymore. It's ASMR at fucking everything. You just hear the fire cracking. 30 minutes a night I spend watching one video because I can watch them of people just cooking in the tiny little vans. And you know, it's crazy the majority of them are Japanese.

Right. There's no, like they have subtitles, but they're not right. You know, sometimes I'll be like, what the fuck? You're just kind of watching. Just turn it off. I'm just watching. Like the food that they make, the way they make the food. Like, fuck, man.

I'm just like. Do you like watching the meat noodles? Yeah. Bro, no, it's like, it's not even just that. Like they have like pre-packaged dumplings that they'll throw on a little fucking stove. And they'll make it and they'll eat it. And they always do like for everything. Every little things.

It's so good. But like, Matt, bring that out, man. Go to YouTube and type it. camping. Just camping? Yeah, bro, I'm telling you, the viewership is naughty. So where are you going to camp, though? You're just going to camp? No. You're just going to camp in your

4 by 4. Go 4 by 4. Look at 229, 4 months ago. But this dude, like, is anyway. Dude, that's such a risk. I think, wait, what the fuck? What? I think 53. Oh, camping stereotype.

And I look, I look at, I look at this and I'm like, I know how to make that. I know how to make that. I know how to make that. That's how I'm like, man, I can make that and then I'm eating McDonald's. Yeah, I mean, that's so, that looks so good.

Just like dipping my chip valet. But it just goes to show, man. Like, you don't know, you don't know what people want to watch until you put something new in front of them. Is it sawing off a piece of a tree right now? Yeah, just to make fun. Yeah, like some people just you got to think like how many people are doing cool shit like this and it's not getting people I'm thinking there's a spider in the middle hit in the middle hit in the middle Yeah like shit oh oh yeah that's the good stuff like take that shit yeah

He's the good stuff look at these berries you eat these you die so don't eat them don't That's crazy that's their pot that's that's the pot it's like I'm in the hobbit dude it's so dope it's so dope It's so dope to look at the fire. Don't add potatoes to it yeah I My rabbit. Don't cook my rabbits. Dude, even Lord of the Rings when they're eating that little like bread. Yeah.

Oh, it looks so good. Look at these potatoes. Oh, my God, that food looks unreal. In the Narnia movie, there's this like hot cocoa that you're not supposed to drink. And I'm like, dude, I want that shit. Yeah, she's like, you want it? And she's like evil. And he's like, yeah.

And I'm like, I want it to take it too. What if a grizzly bear just pulled up? Dude, that looks so good. What if a grizzly bear just pulled up and wanted it? He's like Alpha Zamey like he stands at him. It's like, you look at him. You're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, I go like this. I look at the bear and I'll go like this.

You kick you in the gut. You'd kick you in the stomach with his little. Because I saw that from family guy. I was. It's like, Peter Griffin's. You make yourself taller. And it's supposed to like deter them a little bit. I wonder what the bears think like.

$200 million worth of NFTs have been stolen from OpenC via an email fishing. hack. Now, someone choked so hard. 200 now. What? Somebody choked. The thing is what the thing is this is like, okay, it gets stolen, but like you obviously could get it back. It's an NFT. It's trackable. It's like

Is it? It's, I'm, it's, it's Where's you pay for it in Bitcoin? It is, especially if you pay for it in Bitcoin. That's untraceable. That's like the selling point of Bitcoin. That is, no, but there's a log that that tracks all of this. So it knows what wallet it's in.

I don't know. Isn't it? No. I'm definitely not. I'm definitely not. I'm pretty sure Bitcoin's main. selling point is it's like anonymous crypto sending it's anonymous that's why like you don't yeah but like how do you sell this then if it's like you don't you just keep 200 million dollars and you don't spend it that's i don't want it 200 i don't want any money that i can't spend wait a minute matt google if bitcoin traceable i thought it was like wait coin i mean coin

ethereum cryptocurrency is like untraceable i thought blockchain right that's a word that's a word that's definitely uh it's a technology Bitcoin does not make anonymous payments anonymous? Wait, what? It's more... It's more traceable and open than any bank today. Never mind. I'm completely wrong.

So you're just a complete opposite to what you said. No, but if you look... You got to think about it, right? Like the most money... Let's get back to the important part. 40%... Now, this figure might be a little bit off, a little bit off. 40% of the entire money that the U.S. has ever printed,

they printed within the last year. 40% of all of the money that has... Look it up, Matt. 40% of the money that has been printed for the United States dollar. Let me hit you with this one. If the human, or if we didn't develop consciousness, like 10% faster than consciousness

would have never developed at all. Think about that. Wait, wait, what? Jesus. If we wouldn't, if like, we'd develop our conscience at the perfect time and if we would have taken like 10% longer, then consciousness would have never developed at all. And we would just been fucking...

We've been mush. Yeah. Oh my God. We would have been sloths. Damn. Just looking for food and looking to... That's crazy. Procreate.

It has to be true. Did you find him at? He would never cap. He would never cap something like that. He runs out. I'm just in there like later and I'm like, whoa. What the fuck? How much money is the Bureau of Engraving and Printing Produced

38 million notes a day with a face value approximately $541 million? I don't know. There's something in there. Like there's a mathematical, there's a mathematical fact that. 40% of, and I might be wrong, a little bit off. Matt's taking a long time finding it. It's trillion.

But in the last year, 40%. That's true. So what they're saying is, no, it's not. It was right there. What's that? 80% of all U.S. dollars in existence printed in the last 22 months. 80% of the money. How?

Because it has no value. What if I just have cash hitting in my wallet forever? Yeah. How many people are doing that, though? A lot of people are not. What the fuck? Dog, money, money makes no sense to me. Well, look, it's, it's, it's, it's nothing back in it, right?

Like, there's not enough gold to, we don't have enough gold or, you know, whatever to back that. Where's our gold? There is no gold. There's no gold. There's no gold. There's no gold. The fact that you don't know about it, someone's watching this right now, they're like, excellent. There is the fucking gold.

Yeah, look at it. If you look at the, if you look at the, if you look at the, Matt, look the federal reserve conspiracy gold. No gold. Like, does somebody have a vault somewhere? It's the federal... The Fedreserve. The Smog's fucking... The Fed Reserve.

Yeah, the smog reserve. There's a fucking dragon. A bunch of gold coins. But it's not a dragon. It's fucking Donnie Trump. You ever like, like, wants people like, go, like, in the ocean and try to find, like, shipwrecks and shit? Is that not entice you to go try that yourself? To try what?

Go find a shipwreck. Oh, yeah. Does that not seem like it can be kind of easy? I feel that way... I feel that way white fucking comes in and just rips you apart. I'm putting a submarine down there to get it. A little bit. robot.

He's going to me the gold and he comes back and he's like here. Do there are people that legitimately are like treasure hunters. Yeah. Like that's what they do for their Yeah.

And you only got to hit once. You got to hit one time. That's true. That's true. Yeah, you want to know what the easiest 40 years you want to know what the easiest treasure hunting is

We just went over nothing. But imagine that, you know, imagine you're mining. You just stumbling, like, you're finding for hours and days and weeks. And then you just stumble across like a pot of gold or like diamonds. Okay, you're not going to spend a pot of gold at a mine. Probably not. Yeah. Or diamonds, diamond, sorry.

Crystles, there's a rainbow coming from this pot. You see a lepercon just guarding it? You're like, what the fuck is so trolle? Do you just square up with them? Would you do it? Depends on you know. You see what he's guarding? I mean, you're like, dude, you don't look that tall.

If it's an ISO, I got to go out. It's an 1B1, I got to take it. Everyone's on lunch, except for you. You want to give little extra push because you felt it. All of a sudden, there's a leprechaun in front of you with a pot of gold behind them. You know, I wonder if, like,

lucky charms. I wonder if playing video games the way that you do, like, has ever made anyone, like, challenge in a fight. You know what? Yeah, because you're like, he's like, you know what? I'm just going to commit to this thing

and then gets his ass beat. Because you're like, it's a good percentage. 1B1. I mean I do this all the time like 50 50 oh we're like over challenging like instead of backing away from a fight you're like you're like you're like you're like what's your question like your face yeah people people oh you're saying people oh you're saying because of your because of your mentality because of your mentality I got this like the chow like mine oh I hear you're saying maybe it's like some bigger dude like yeah I got the shit shit push lights out you know like a little lucky charm is like you got it you got to take the ISO for you know some diamonds you know I think it's only right you'd imagine what people felt like and they just came across like a giant gold like deposit yeah they're just like what the fuck it do I do with this I can't tell anyone it's probably like if you tell someone all of something you get caught your head and you're just like face down in the in the mind you'd get killed you get killed that's it imagine what was happening with people found like that like what's like

the biggest gold deposit ever found I don't know how big we talk I just I just see I just a bad man Matt's like a bathup like a bathtub like a bathup like a bad biggest gold deposit ever found I mentioned right there he says Do what? Those are gold mines? That's how they... I mean like, yeah, but... I mean, they're digging a hole, basically,

and they keep going once they find one. They just like, okay, dig everywhere around here. There could be more. That's why. That's what it turns into... It's like, where do they put the shit that they dug out? Like, where is it?

I can't believe they just take trucks. They just take trucks and they just are constantly taking shit out of it. All that matter go somewhere. Yeah, they throw in the back of the trucks and they just drive them out. It's kind of a weird question. What's like the most final...

crystal or whatever you know what I mean is it like diamonds is that like what it was like to I think a sapphire like a ruby diamonds has to be the most like final right would you want like do you want to die not having found a diamond rubies emeralds like there's ch oh I forgot about it's like all these life side quests that you can embark on are like nuts like I just I just asked them I'm like do you want to die knowing that you never discovered a jewel any sort of crystal like in the wild but metaphorically speaking I feel like I found my thing with gaming though. That is my diamond.

That is your lotto. You hit the lot. I look at it every single day as I'm playing. Wait, low key. Like I went out and I went out and made the diamond now. All right, so Muran 2 in Uzbekistan mountain mine in Uzbekistan. It's the largest gold mine. About two million ounces of gold.

I want to know like, no, this is what I want to know like the biggest single piece of gold ever found. Oh, you want to know. want to know like did they have to get a truck to take it out yeah could it like was the biggest like what's the biggest nugget yeah the biggest nugget oh well the welcome strange that sounds like in the wild wild west oh my god it has a sex name is this thing 173 pounds is that what i'm saying like holy shit that's crazy hey you know that thing dude it's a giant piece of gold that holy show how much money do you think that's worth in actual cash dollars like i ever seen again after that picture

So was he just like instantly good? That guy was snipe for sure. Just the snipe piece. He took the picture. 2.6 million. Imagine you find $2.6 million. That'd be cool. You could even lift it.

You're like, help me dude, but we'll have these trusts. You've got to help me though. I can't move this thing. Please. I don't know. Only if you give me a slice. You're like, alright. Let's say this, right?

You're walking down the street. You find a suitcase is filled with a million dollars in cash. Look at Nick. Look at Nick. Yeah, it's the chair, bro. Look at Nick. Wait, wait, that's my chair. I'm gonna be meaning that.

Just rob my chair, just... Alright, whatever. I'm just getting pissed on. I don't know. That was too good not to like... That was, we just saw it for those of you who are curious, we just saw Nick get out. Well, you spotted him making noises.

He was just like, he just bitches the whole time he streams. And then Randly, he goes quiet. I just see him rolling a chair from the other side of the HQ to his setup. My chair. And he was like, yeah, it's the chair, dude, you're good. Trust. My chair. My chair.

Bruce is like Bruce's chair. And Brandon comes in and he's like, where the fuck's my shit. That's where it goes. And why doesn't have any armrests? It's all because Nick hates arms. You know what? You know what?

You sit down in the chairs and have armrests and you're used to it. You're like, what the fuck? Yeah. I thought Nick's been here. When there's no fucking armrests on chairs. It's almost like a seatbelt. Yeah.

100%. Because I was like, oh, I was getting loose. Yeah, yeah. A little too loose. 100%. All right. So back to this $200 million worth of NFTs. Holy shit.

That's how that started. Yeah. How do you steal an NFT? With fishing. I don't know, man. You fish it out? Hacking into a wallet. Locals in your area.

Isn't it funny? It's called open sea and they sold it by fishing. That's not a pretty funny. That's a good catch. That's a good catch. That's a good catch. It's an open sea. Fishing?

Pirates. Sushi. Sushi. Yeah. We're definitely having sushi. It's fate. Well, what's I said. Anyway, so like, I don't know.

Look, I believe in NFTs. I know that it's a future. living crypto. I know that it's the future. I just need an expert to come here. Hey, you know who the who a good source would be to bring out here? Fucking Fizz. Dude quits ultimately the, the, no, not just Google like a lot of people are Googleians. What does the FD stand for? Huh? NFT. Non-fungible token. Non-fungible token. No, I wish I didn't ask. Oh, I was somebody. It makes it sound like not serious. Like at $200 million worth of non-fundable tokens, it makes no sense.

fungible fungible because they're none so trolly word this is fungible it's like what the fudge you know what I mean but fungible non fungible is I got it an image I got it I was hoping it said something like you know NFT like I don't know like but the F was like final it said like that you know final you thought to be like a dope turtle that's the first one like anyway I don't know why just go hide to go I think I think we need to bring that I was out here right like this dude quits or that doesn't quit he moves on to become the CEO of Polygon Studio.

Can you pull up my My tweeter Matt At HRI No no no No it's linked in the description too follow him I just want to show this is so I was like I saw it on TikTok I saw people like uh watching movies and I was like I wonder if I could watch the optic match so we tweeted it out and like look at look at look at us this was so cool well well don't okay don't look at that part that's they were going we're literally we're literally wait wait wait for L though wasn't he just here yeah yeah yeah so they're actually doing they were green screened wait is Blake making out with George well you know making out his mansion this is this is this is what he's

it just fucking place it's like this is what he just place looks like to me why do they keep doing it it's just on a loop it's on a loop but yeah anyway explain this so how do you how does someone get to watch it with you it's like a it's like an

there's another one if you scroll down to yeah right there yeah I saw this one I didn't even see that one I saw this one yeah so that this one's in like this is kind of crazy this is in a theater that's sick as fuck this is so cool that's sick as fuck dude yeah imagine 20 years from now what it's gonna look like you know what I mean like that's actually super safe so there's like different

There's like different venues you can like go into like in the... So you can watch it like a gladiator stadium. Yeah. So we were watching just in Rome. You know what I mean? Like you can watch it on Mars. I watch movies like this? This is what I want.

Dude, this is the future. I'm telling you. They have already made 3D movies that you don't have, you don't need anything for. You just put it on. You're in a theater and the movies but pop out at you. Nah,

I'm not even trolling. Ready player runs happening in 20 years. Guaranteed. No, less. Dude, I'm telling you put one of the... We're like almost there.

You put one of these on. You put one of these on and it'll scare you. I guarantee you it'll scare you. You'll just be like, holy shit, this is it. Like it's, I get it. There is no. If you were a scary movie and your scene is like, Yeah, exactly.

The movie. Yeah. Yeah. You're in the woods. Look at this, bro. I'm telling you it'll get to a point where you're sitting in a theater with the, with the,

with the VR glasses on and then a scene will pop up in a movie and all of a sudden, the theater's gone and you're in the movie. Like, it'll be something like that. I'm not at a cap. I've been like, dude, I've been wanting something like this for a minute. Like ever since Ready Player 1, I'm like, dude, I can't wait for gaming to ever, like, reach this level. So in theory, in theory, what we could do is we can have a 3D model of the hex quarters and people can come here and watch it.

Yeah, you should do that instead. So they could be fans in your own. You want me to 3D model build the hexquers? Yeah, you should just do that. What if they just see me in the corner just trolleys fun? They're playing that. Yeah. Yeah.

And there's like prox chat as well. So like, so like, anytime somebody like did something, you can hear like, yeah. From like everybody else that was like in there. That's so. That's so sick. That's so sick. So, like,

Wait, so where do you go for this? Yeah, where do you go? Like, explain, like, how do you get, how do I, how do I join your,

if you get, like, if you get, I mean, if you have a VR headset, it's on Steam. It's just an app called Big Screen. And that's like how people, that's people watch.

And in big screen, like, you start in like a lobby and then you go to like social rooms. And then there's people that are just watching shit. And you can just join like public lobbies. And everyone's just in there

just watching like Lord of the Rings. I can't wait. until like we're getting to the point where we're just running around as our avatar. We're just like making him like just dope as fuck like just swag that. We're just running around like I don't know Rome or something. We're like yo square up for like whatever the Cod 17 at the time one B one and then everyone's watching like a stadium. Yeah. I'm like what's going to.

And I'm like, but I'm playing like the young and I'm like 40 years old. I'm a hall of fame right by night. You know what I mean? But I'm playing something young and it's cracked. I'm like at the show me you have to let them know like my air was the best shot. Yo, this is, this is like the future. Dude, you can already, you can already get floor seats to NBA finals.

Wait, what? Yeah, they put, they put cameras on, on the floor, and you put in your VR headset, and you're on the floor. And you're watching the game. You're watching the game from the, beside Drake. Yeah. Like, like, I'm so, I'm so, just picture this. Just picture somebody puts a stand on a, on a chair like this. It's a 360 cam.

Yeah. on a chair. Yeah. It's not even a chair. It's in between a chair. So you remember the bubble? Do you remember the NBA finals? Like the bubble?

Yeah. So it's like kind of like that. Some models in theory. Yes. But this is like this is like. Because yeah. Yeah. It's like it's like paying paying for like.

Is it like are you paying like the same price you would for the. No. No. No. No. Not. Not even remotely close. No.

You can join for free because. Listen, because every single. Listen. I'm so. No. Listen. I'm not. I'm going to pay.

I'm not. You have to pay $10,000. Look right here. Yeah. You're playing like a ticket? Look at that shit. I'm so faded. Holy shot.

Just cut that out. This is like a, whoa, this is so dope. That's so dope though. The thing is, is like, if you're living where these two dudes are living,

you can afford floor seats. Look at this. Look at this guy's in the Hollywood Hills. Yeah. It's like, what the fuck? That guy's in a New York commercial ever. They should have put somebody in a fucking like Brooklyn 400 square foot apartment.

Technology is insane, no, dude, dude, I'm telling you, it, you don't like realize it until you put one on. And you're like, holy shit.

I don't think. What if? Because like, because the future of life is going to be so great for like 20 years before we all like die. Yeah. Before the sun explodes or like before before global warming chalk us all. They say that. I feel like we're good. They say that within the next 10 of 15 years, you're going to be able to download all of your your memories and thoughts.

I don't want to do that. I would do that. I'd be 1,000. It sounds like too many bad memories. If somebody told me that they can replace my lungs. And you can. And it's. This camera's static, but imagine being able to just like move around.

Like, yeah, now he's moving his head around. You can walk on the court with him. You could be guarding LeBron. You could be just running on the court so trolling. I don't think you can run on the core, but. You're just seeing, you're seeing something that is just like never available. Like imagine like somebody, you know, it's like the shot. It's just not like a thing.

He's like, where am I? You're there. You're controlling it? You're controlling it. Wait, Matt's controlling it. Okay, I'm really checked now. We got to get the fuck out of this. Holy shit.

How are you controlling this? Arrow. It's like a pre-video. So it's a camera that's 360 like recording at all times then? Yeah, but in separate locations. So let's say you and I are Let's say you and I are

Let's say you and I have a court to get that shit out of there. I'm going to explain to you right now. Listen, Dashie. All right, listen. He and I are sitting front court side, right? In the middle.

In between our chairs, there's a pole with a 360 camera right? That a million people can join and look out of. So everybody has the same. view and if you look to your right you see hacks if you look to the left you see formal to look behind you you see black curtains if you look forward you see like that's crazy

dude it is the thing is it is like it could in theory get to the point to where people are currently in the same theater room that he was in watching a match but watching us film this live before it's even edited how the fuck was he just in a video I'm so checked right now how is he recording that in a video you mean like moving watching recorded video but he's the he's still he's the one like he's controlling the people That's a 360. That's just a 360 cam. Yeah.

Okay. It's already already, there's several 360 cams. So that's not that cool compared to what? It is. No, it is very cool. But imagine, imagine the other thing. Imagine instead of looking at the screen and you're watching Matt,

you literally can't see anything else. All you see is the venue. Everywhere you look, oh, I see what he's saying. Everywhere you look, you can't get out of it. That's what, that's like it's like you're actually there. You can literally click is like, I want to see what the nosebleeds people are seeing.

And you click on that camera. camera in that you looked out in that in that court size better what if you like kidnap someone and you like tape the thing to their head and you set and you put them in a horror scene and they can't get the fucking thing off is that like a form of torture once it gets like that level of technology yeah I don't know why

you went there with it but yeah yeah I mean everyone's very consider it yeah I thought about it I think you're the only one that went on that journey I'm the only one that has the balls to say it we were all thinking it yeah we're all thinking the same exact thought that I mean the important thing obviously all four of us have thought it right we yeah that was the first I just don't understand how that works.

Why? You're, like, yeah, you're seeing it. I understand, I understand watching porn, believe me. But, but, like, what happens? What do you mean? I just don't know. I don't want to talk about it. I'll talk about it privately.

Wait, have you put on a VR headset? Yeah, of course. I had Oculus sent me one. PlayStation sent me theirs. Yeah, I got a bunch at the. It is. It's crazy. I'm gonna get,

I'm gonna get some today. Uh, VR? Yeah. So 2030. We're ready for it. What do you recommend? Oculus is pretty good,

but you'll probably want some like, it's a big one. The thing is, is like, I don't, I think that we won't get anywhere until they're like thinner and we're not like,

you know, there's some fucking big, fucking goggles. It is big. It is big. It is big. It will. Like Iron Man's glasses?

It will. Eventually to reach that. there'll be contacts. In eventually they'll be contacts. Yeah. I'm just so confident. Just imagine, look, are you familiar with AR? Like augmented reality?

No. Okay, bring on augmented reality and what the future could look like. It's essentially like this. You put on contacts and they will be able to put ads on different parts of the wall. Dude, that's so cool. Oh my God.

You could literally be like, bring up my texts and you'll like bring up your text right here. It'll look like that. I'm such a nerd. Look at that. That's why you would look through your, through your literally Ironman. Your Iron Man.

It's so cool. Listen, your POV through your songglass, through your contacts, it's going to be like that. Like, it's just going to be here's where you can find this thing. Or be like,

how do I get places? It'll show you the blue line that you see in your, yeah, like that. You would, I mean, if you had this option right now, would you just live in this world for, like basically as soon as you wake up?

It's not living in that world. It's just augmented. Like, it gives you more options, more information. You know what I mean? Okay, okay, like It's kind of going like along the lines of like ready player one

Where it's like actually in another world So would you have the choice to live there or like You know, you're normal I guess every day Where are your friends? You're gonna go where your friends are I'm calm living there Yeah, you're gonna go where your friends are That's a good way of putting it.

You're doing it every single day You're going into a Metaverse with three other players And you guys are fighting in the middle But just not to that extent yet Not yet I mean you're literally doing it Every single that you and your boys meet up In a make-belief world

called Bokage or Discord But it's just like instead of instead of a screen eventually it's going to be everything Yeah And that's the only difference right now It's like you can look to your left And you can see Matt playing or you can see Listen everything that you're seeing

You're seen through a screen right now But imagine if that screen was part of your Instead you are the screen Yeah exactly We're gonna end it on there You are the screen If you too are the screen Please remember to not leave without leaving like

Thank you so much for tuning into Episode number 64 of the Optic podcast Shout out Honey shout out Masterclass. We'll see you guys next time. Goodbye. Peace.
