Correct me if I'm wrong, chat, people in the comments. Didn't Infinity, the original Infinity Ward developers go to

I saw the Gugan collab merch. Bro, it's worst. Fucking snapping finally. God damn it. Anyway,

Shotsie. Let's talk a little bit about the offseason, right? Let's talk about Rossermania. How was it stressful? It was it stressful for you? And can we, should we talk, should we say, are we allowed to say what almost happened, Seth?

Yeah. Tell them what almost happened. Shotsie. What did, how did you hear? Nah, we'll hear. Nah, I'll let it from your perspective just because like I really know that well. But I mean, my off season, nah, it was definitely way more, dude, way less stressful than last last season, dude. Last off season, holy fuck.

I was actually getting white hairs and shit. Anyways. Yeah, now this offseason was definitely way like cleaner You kind of just got the players You don't think he got mixedy when this dude decided to say what he said? When you heard when I called you? Wait, what? Oh, whoa, whoa, okay.

So what happened? So we were supposed to get, supposed to get someone right? Felt through. Yeah. And then I was like, listen, if y'all need me, I'm here. And then I was considering coming back playing a little bit. And then, um. No, this is how it happened

I give you a call Yeah We were texting, right? And I'm like, I'm like, yo, you're gonna have to fucking come back because,

you know, and I was bullshit and obviously like, totally bullshit. And then he says, yeah, I might have to and I was like,

wait, what the fuck? Why did you say that? He called you. I'm like, yo, you fucking serious? I'm like,

I called everyone like, you post everything. Hold on. Fucking freeze. It was like, it was playing a game a freeze.

Go on. I thought about it. You thought about it deeply. Yeah, there was like a week and a half, two-week period where I was, I was calling Bill. I was like, you know, I might come back. Bill's our agent. Yeah, I was like, I might come back. And he's like, hey, do whatever you need to do, King.

The King's poolside making business decisions? What is this? Whatever you need to do. I'm here. I'm on back here. Fucking Bill Kenney. But yeah, I was talking to him. I was like, yeah, there's a chance I come back.

And then just, and then didn't happen. It didn't happen. It didn't happen. And then in the mix of all that, obviously we're still trying to settle the other two, right? And as we're making like progress and I'm like, I think I'm like, yo, we got, I'm like, wait, if that's going to come back, like, holy fuck,

what does that look like, right? Everybody's got to be fucking crying and I was going to fucking start crying again. It started a little bit. Oh my God, this is going to be fucking awesome shots. He's like, fuck yeah. Bruce is like, fuck yeah. Hell yeah.

The name obviously but Wait who Oh shit No fucking shot I was like Everybody's paper going I was all right Cool

It's like All right cool So we We spent about A whole week It was like a week And a half of like Back and forth

And then I think the final Now in the coffin Ant texted me And he was like So he was like So he He was like, I need to know.

And like, it was just too quick. It was too big of a decision to make in too short of a time. Yeah. Because like I wasn't even really thinking about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Until it was brought up. And then I was like, but the, I was like, that team would be fucking disgusting. Yeah.

But yeah, it's too big of a decision in too short of a time to make. And it was a big commitment for me. Obviously, I've seen the other side and how like this has been just, I mean, obviously the watch party was a huge success. So that was like something that I was thinking about. Obviously, the watch party could change. next year so that was something I had to think about and then like just the day to day day I mean it's a it's a big commitment yeah it's a big commitment and yeah I just I don't

want to do it because I if I wasn't 100% sure I didn't want to come back and I was like I was like I was like oh bro I was bro I was like oh bro I was like oh bro I was like I was I'm driving I hear that shit I'm like yeah yeah it almost happened yeah it almost happened we were really close but In the end, he just didn't want to make more money, believe it or not. And that's, he didn't want to, he didn't want to make more money and claim to fame more of his legend. You know what I'm saying? It just wasn't in the papers for the boy.

But I was, I was really happy when you were like, like considering because I was fucking around like out of nowhere. I'm like, yo, you might have to get. Well, that would have been an insane story. If he actually did come back off that like troll text. Yeah. Yeah, well, I'm glad I did. I'm glad that I didn't. Yeah.

Cooler heads prevailed. Yeah. I'm glad that I didn't. So, I mean, yeah. It was, you know, it's so nice not having to worry about like, screams in. I will commend you on, on, on, on the grown up decision that you made there because no way you weren't like, oh my God, this team was. I mean, there was a lot of factors I had to like that were weighed. It's not like, it's not like, do I want to play.

Yeah. It's not like, do I want to come back and play? It's like, yeah, I think about financials, the grind. Of course, your career, man. Life. Life. life is. I mean, it's a lot on your significant other new dog.

I mean, you know how it is when you're scrimming and shit and you're trying to, you're trying to stream as well. Like, oh, it's impossible. It's like minimum 10, 11 hour days and that's to get like a five hour stream it. But you could have ran it back though, right? What do you mean? Skill-wise? Hell yeah, man.

She never goes away with a king. It's just always there. Yeah. I was fucking piecing. Fuck yeah. All right. Let's talk Xcott ProMex history by reaching Tier 1 in Valorant League. What is that?

We'll get into the topics in a little bit. So you said that your Rush Romania was a little bit calmer than last year. For me, because of the possibility of him coming back, we were sort of like in the, I don't know, like, there was a wrench. So we had to pause the button on other conversations we were having. We were trying to. We had conversations about what it would take to. to what it would be like to get, should we say scrappy?

Like, is that a thing? Yeah. Fuck sake, dude. What? I mean, yeah, so scrap. I mean, what were they? What the fuck were they asking for, 5.5? Bro, I went on Reddit and they said,

why doesn't scump buy his shit out? Like, I'm just like, what? Now, look, you know that, you know that Reddit, and everybody that's in fucking Reddit that's fucking piss me. Because I didn't want to buy out scrappy. Listen, I want to, I want to talk to Reddy. Like, I wouldn't even heard that. I want to talk directly to you fucking Redditors that I don't fucking get along with, okay?

On that thought, I got along with you. You know what I'm saying? Why the fuck? Why wouldn't you fucking, you know what I'm saying? Like, where's your cash at? Where's the contributions, baby? You know what I'm saying? It was a little bit, you know, I will say that we're making, you know, levity and shit.

But I am going to miss Hooke. I am going to miss Dan. and I worship nothing but the best. But, you know, it was a little bit tamer of a, yeah, it wasn't as it has been. But I did it one moment and feel like I'm like, man, this is my last fucking Ruster Man. I'm not doing this shit no more, you know? You'll always do this shit. But I always do this shit, man.

I say that I don't like it, but then I'm not in the mix. And I was just like, man, I miss that shit. I mean, unless, Rostermania is always insane, bro. Yeah. It's always stressful. It's always stressful. I think I broke my finger this morning or I pinched the nerve. Oh.

So I might not be able to make it to the wedding. No, I'm kidding. So Seth and I, when do you leave tomorrow also? Yeah, I get there at six. Are you on a flight? 6 p.m.? I only had middles. I can't.

Yeah. Three hours? I'll be in fucking hell. Really? I can't. So, wait. So wait. We're on the same flight.

We're on the same flight. I'll get there at 6 p.m. Okay. I can't tell you the airline, though. Yeah, we're looking forward to it. Apparently, you're not supposed, you don't have to do a speech. It was just because it was a text. I'm like, why couldn't I find it on the threads?

My anxiety just went down 25%. Yeah, you don't have to do this. Really? You were that like scared about it? Dude, what? In front of all those people that I probably don't know. There's probably some prestigious people out there. Yeah.

You could have made it short and sweet? I could have, but. Well, where you got to these speech or not? Hell yeah. He definitely does. He definitely does. No, it's just, it's me, Fizz, and that's it. Oh, right.

Because it's at the rehearsal. Are you best man? No, his brother is. Makes sense. Is it just. his brother? Maybe Shibby? Oh, like co-best man?

Yeah, yeah. Well, you're a good public statement. Who's your best man? Have you decided yet? I'm not saying that. Oh, shit. I can't wait for fozzy's speech. What?

I'm, like, I'm keeping my under one minute. It's a rehearsal dinner. Do I'm not tell the whole story? I mean, like, you should go like three minutes. Yeah. Fuck.

2.30 is good. Dude, you can waffle. Three minutes to you. You can fucking. You can talk. You got a motor on that thing? You got a motor. Three minutes will go by like that.

Everybody knows what's up. We'll have a couple drinks. I'm going to have a couple drinks. It'll feel like that. I texted. He's like, Fizz, I'm going to verbatim exactly what Fis said

so that you guys don't think that I'm out here fucking fibbing. He says, I just really want to hear Hector's improvised wedding speech at 12 a.m. After drinking 13 Bacardi Cokes all night. And then I said,

and three blunts to the wind, baby. You know, Sam will be you. 12 am. Yeah, I'm sorry. I don't know. 12. Because the dinner's like at sometime, like seven earlier. What the rehearsal?

Yeah, rehearsal dinner. They rehearsed their speech? So, okay, sorry. So he's got best men who are going to be doing the speeches at the wedding. They don't rehearse their speech during the. No, no, no, no, no, no. Listen. Rehearsal dinner is just rehearsal dinner.

Yeah. Which is why Fis and I are going to be doing our speeches then so that there's something to sort of, to sort of, uh, The dry run You know what I'm saying For the people who are running the I don't fucking I'm not I'm not a wedding planet

Do I look like Jennifer Lopez Oh so you guys are giving one then But then not giving one on Yeah the real ones go on the wedding day Oh okay So it's rehearsal dinner Everyone's there? Everyone's there

Like I hope What did you mean? I know Like the wedding party Like everyone No just the wedding party Oh okay Yeah it's gonna be a good time man

Yeah Is it culmination of love Jude is me Like uh Oh all I bet Yeah, you. All right. Yeah, we'll be there.

Yeah, yeah. We're all the same table. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it'd be scary, bro, at these weddings. No, man, you don't even know them. Well, usually. And they're all cool people. You know, yeah, I know.

It's just for some reason I think the social anxiety went up in me. Oh, your social battery's got to be charged going into this shit. Yeah, I know. Like, wait, what? What? I'm going to even kill every day, baby. I'm ready for it. See, like, there's some days where like, I just don't want to fucking talk to people.

And there's some days where I'm like, I'm now. That's why you got to go and down to talk. That's why I got to move out of my building. Wait, what the fuck? Because I'll wake up and I'm like, I don't want to see nobody. I'll get in the elevator next floor. Someone comes down. They want to talk and shit.

They want to speak and they're all. Your neighbors. Yeah, no. I mean, I guess, yeah, but still, it's like. But at the dinner, I thought we were all like, so like we're at like the head table and it's like a long straight table with like all the bridesmaids made. I don't think so. I don't think so. We're all, we're at like a circular table as well.

Look, I know that we do a really good job and not fucking paying attention to when people tell us what the fuck is going, but I don't think that that's the way it goes. That's how my brothers was. And I've only been to one wedding. One like legit, like, big wedding. I've been to a lot. I mean, I've been to legit weddings, but I've been to one like big, like ceremonial. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.

Like the whole shebang. Anyway, if you follow me on Instagram at Hacks, I am going to be posting all the behind the scenes from his wedding. I'm kidding. You're not recording me. Tell you. No. He's fucking. Because I'm going to be on.

Mars. Yeah. I don't know how we got that side track. I think it started with this, but back to the Pesopuluma concert. I wish, I wish, next time they're in town, you should come. Pestaluma? Yeah, or any of them. Let's put some rikia.

I know one. Which one? The one that everybody knows. That's how they all sound. You know, they call them Detons. He's to be talking that shit in the songs. In high school, my high school was full of, it was a melting pot. I'm melting pot of people.

Anyway, in high school, we used to call Mexican music Diten. Deaton. Yeah, because it's all, Deaton, Deaton, Deaton, Deaton, Deaton, deaton, deaton, deaton, deaton. It's the drums. You know what I'm saying? That's the bass line.

Deetton, and then you come in the trumpet. I don't really get that. That's what I got on. It's the same. You get that? No. No, Mexicans, too. I call it trumpets and fucking strings.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, it was really cool. I saw the dude. Shout out to this dude who was wearing the last year's Jersey. At the concert? Yeah, at the concert.

We got, I bought the girls VIP passes so that we can do the meet and greet. The dude was feeling sick and this is what, maybe it's because of like the meeting greets that You all got to meet him? No, he canceled. But he's like he canceled because he was feeling good and I know that

the dude's been fucking going back and forth, back and forth like traveling cities and shit. And I'm like I'm like, he's probably got like COVID and he doesn't want anybody else. But the amount of people that got upset about it, right? Like this, this. Oh, yeah. I mean.

Yeah. I mean, but I was, it's kind of expensive, right? No, it was like $2.50 a ticket. Oh, do they not refund you? Oh, it comes with the. Yeah. No, the tickets, the tickets were expensive. Did they refund you or no?

Yeah, the meeting greet partial because they, we did do the sound check, which is what I wanted to see. Oh, that's fire. Yeah, we did the sound check. He did two songs for the sound check. So it's just in front of like 100 people. Oh, that's fine. Or like 75 people. So it was good.

It was a really good experience. It was fun. And he, I will say the concert, the girls loved it. The concert was like 50-50, like romantic songs and then Corridos. And I was just like, I'm not the big of a romantic song's kind of guy. This is freestyle from the 90s, you know what I'm saying? But aside from that, like it was really, really fucking, like he, he, bro, the amount of fucking people that were there. What's his name?

We'll see you back on the podcast right now. Actually, why do you think 100 these last $2.5 million? You want to get into that? Yeah, me and Seth were talking about it. I kind of want to know.

How do you lose $2.5? Like, what do you think it all is? Okay. Now, I'm only going to talk about it because they talked about it. Oh, they didn't? Yeah, they talked on a podcast. They were saying it's like straight. You wouldn't talk about it.

They wouldn't talk about. Yeah, I wouldn't talk because it's not of none of my business. But, you know, in the end, they weren't able to monetize their call of duty team in the end. Yeah. What that means is that no sponsors were going out of their way to spend money directly on that call of duty team. They won championships. I mean, same thing happened to Empire. Right?

When you guys won, like next year, there was no sponsors that came wanting to sponsor you guys. You know what I'm saying? So everybody in the league is sort of in the same thing. thing, which is why you see the majority, the vast majority of the teams are lowering their salaries of the players just across. And this goes across all of these sports. It's not just exclusive to 100 thieves. You know, everything that they were saying about the state of the industry, which is something

that I personally don't like to talk about just because whatever. But I think in their position, they had to do something because they had to explain to them, to their fans, why it was that they weren't resigning the people that have brought championships for them. That actually makes sense. Yeah. I mean, still, 2.5 is a big loss. That has to be franchise fees too, right?

No fucking way. No. That's straight up. So like travel? Travel? That's insane. They probably paid for their team's housing. Okay.

It's in L.A. Think about the amount of people that they had to hire to cover the team, to travel with that team, to film, editors, all that. So it's like it's not 2.5 went to the place. players is, you know, some of that, let's call it. A million of that. Let's call it a million of that. I would probably say it's a conservative number. There's four coaches.

I mean, look at their coaching staff. They had J-CAPP. They had fucking Shane. It's easy. It piles up. It adds up in the end. And in the end, just like the interest was in there. I mean, just the interest in general for, for Call of Duty is in there.

And I think, you know, next year would have been a different story. but since we're going back to YouTube, it's not going to be a difference. What? Rumored going back to YouTube. I think, I think, I think,

I think, is rumored? No, it's not rumored. I think, I think by now, hasn't been officially released. Hasn't been officially released, but I can.

But you do the great line. No, not that I know. Listen. Rumer. Trickled through the great line. Rumored, allegedly. There you go.

Rumored. With the alleged, with the alleged switch back to, to YouTube, like I don't see that The thing is, is like, those numbers would have grown, would have grown, and people would have been able to get paid what they were supposed to get paid, but instead we have in a down cycle, right?

You have your peaks and valleys. Could just be peaks, but. It could, I mean, we didn't know where the summit was on this particular case, because we only ran Twitch for one year. You know, if we would have ran it for three years, like, who knows where, how big we could have been able to get. But, you know, the facts are the facts, right? Like if championships in this day and age, I'm not saying that in 10 years it won't change,

championships aren't going to get you what you think it's going to get you. So you have to focus on the players. You have to focus on the storylines. You have to focus on entertaining the people outside of the weekend that you guys play. And some people given the right opportunity, some people given the right watering of the plants. can achieve, you know, the success that some people have. But yeah, I believe it. Don't choke, Toronto.

They got themselves a little superstar over there. Yeah. I mean, I don't know. Who's that? Scrappy. If they do, if they market them right, he can, he's funny. He got a little. Yeah, he got a little swag to him.

He's got some swag to him. We almost picked them up before it would have happened. You know what I should have pitched in? I would have came out of my own pocket. You know what I'm saying? Just remember. Don't fucking. Don't inflate his head anymore.

That's a sick bastard. Don't say that. I mean, I would have came out of my pocket if Seth would have came back. Yeah, you would have. Yeah. Anyway, long story short. Yeah, I think I think 100 thieves is doing the right thing. I mean, that is what you do in situations like these.

Yeah, I mean, it's it's, but I will say this. This team isn't a team. I'm sorry. This org isn't an org that you're not going to see in championship rounds in the future. Who? Deves? Yeah. Now, you see, the way that you're thinking, you're thinking the same way that everybody else is thinking.

With the team that they're going to get next year, you're saying maybe they're not going to get to that. What I'm saying is that... This is a rebuild year. Yeah, once they get... No, not even a rebuild year. It's an entire org build year. So they're cutting all the costs across everything so that they can position themselves to be able to afford... have the money.

Shit in the future to fucking be competitive again. Makes sense. So, yeah. In situations like that, there's really nothing that you can do. That's just scary, though, because, I mean, you're seeing all these superstar players, all them are getting picked up during free agency. They're not signing one-year deals. Like, all the players are locked up for probably two years, at least.

This was like the one-rostermania where, like, a lot of the, like, superstar talents. Who? Can you sign a one-year? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Definitely, you can sign a two-week. Hey, you can sign

What did you sign? That's right, baby. You get paid well. But like it's, they're going to have to wait for a while now if they take off this year because this year was the first year we saw a lot of like

the superstar talent become free agents. Yeah, I just, you know, I want to point to the fact that look at the, look at the look at the, look at the, look at the optic, right? Look at optic when we sold. Look at what happened for three years.

Like there was really no level of contention that allowed us to win championships, right? Maybe we didn't have the right players. I'm kidding, okay This is what's fucked up No, this is what's fucked up And this is the shit that he and I joke around in public You know what I'm saying?

I'm like, man, you know, the championship teams are cutting costs And here I am giving our teams races and shit They haven't worn shit They're winning this year I will say 100% But I will say that our story is a little bit different Because we have like all of

We have the entire Optic Network work that is able to sell sponsorships against it because of just the, the history that we have. And you know, you got to remember 100 teams is a young team. And there's nothing short of fucking massive fucking respects to Nate Chad and everything that he's built with his team with John Robinson along to his side. But, you know, Nate is fucking doing his fucking thing. And there's no anybody that talks ill or bad or anything or has any sort of criticism doesn't know what it takes to build what that dude's built.

So, you know, I wish him luck. and we'll see them soon enough, I think. And you never know, man. We'll see him in two days, man. Well, we'll see him in two days. We'll see him real soon. Yeah. I'm gonna talk shit, right?

Yeah, what are you going to say? What's the first thing you're going to tell him? On his wedding day, on his wedding week. You shouldn't, you're not even going to say, call the dude. I hate when you're not going to talk about Call Duty at all. Right. The Antwerding they were talking about Call Duty. I heard.

I heard they were talking about Call of Dude. Like, bro, don't be asking me no questions about no damn. Let's lock in, bro. Who wants wine? Hey, hey. Let's get a shot. Yeah. The fuck are we doing here? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I get it, though. Like, people are passionate. There will definitely be Call of Duty talking to me. Not, we're not my fucking team. Eric Muddog is going to be there. Nah. You all talking about Hollywoody? So what do you think we should do with the roster?

I'm going to be like, you'll fucking know, Eric. Yeah. I don't know, I wish some luck. What the, what is this? Can you click on that, Matt? Whenever the fuck you come back? What is this, the championship, or the X-Codd-Mix history by reaching Taylor 1?

Wait, tier one, is that like the best shot? Yeah, it's like the Valorant League, Whalers. So this dude played Call of Duty. Where's he from? He's got a London tattoo. French, yeah. To London? Whalers has qualified for V-C-T-E-M-A.

Hey, me know. Good shit, Whalers. Yeah, shout out Wailers, man. Fucking putting off for the fucking... For the scene. I knew that I'm like, that tattoo is European. You know? Yeah, I seen another one with them.

Well, France is in Europe. France is in Europe, Seth. Yes it is. Yeah. What else is in Europe? Chatsy. Belgium? Europe, you got big, uh, Begays and shit.

What, Belgium? No, baguze. Benets. Benets. Yeah, no, no, no, no. What countries are in Europe? What countries in Europe? Yeah.

You had France. What else? London. London's the city. Go on. I'm fucking, uh, Denmark. Denmark? Denmark.

Wait, I'm actually getting it? Yeah, dude. You're so good at that. All right. But bring us back to the, to the thing. Congratulations to that do that. That's fucking insane. I got an original iPhone, you know that?

What? You have an original iPhone, but in the box? Yes. No, you don't. I know, bro. I know, but I was going to say, what I was going to ask you how much you want to buy it for? I don't want to buy it for shit. Original iPhone?

You have that? Yeah. No, you don't. You want anyone want to buy it? Hell no. $125. What I'm not going to do with that shit? Well, first of all, what you do with that is you hold on to it for 10 years and then you sell it for $1.9 million.

That's true. Yeah, you got to keep on that. It's investments. Yeah. You sure you got it. You don't. Should I keep the next iPhone and just keep it? Is that the same?

It's the original. That's the original. Yeah, that's number one. I had that one. You do it, right? I did. I figured. No, I don't have it still.

Or maybe. I don't fucking know. You keep like all the electronics. That means you guys got like four or five. That's some paper. Can I get one? No, I don't know. Wait, if they're used, if they're used, they probably don't sell the same.

That's true. That's probably brand new, never been touched. plastic on the screen, everything. Never been touched. Manor Warfare 3 leaks claim. Are you coming back for Mono War III? Yeah, you playing the S&D stuff in the beginning? Yeah, you were nasty at MW.

Yeah. If there's like creators? Wait, Seth, do you can... Blank and... In blank? Yeah. I mean... I mean, shit. We can make some crazy teams.

That's what I'm saying. Do you, wait, do you consider MW3 like one of your favorite games? Yeah, right? MonoW for like the original. Yeah. I don't know, right? You were nasty that game. My number one cot of all time.

He was actually grossed at that game. Like, hard to kill. That game was fucking. He's actually hard, like, it was hard as fuck to kill him. And too quick. Has similar you guys, M2? Oh my God. I don't even remember that far back.

The Philly was nasty at MW3. Comcast. Yeah, the whole Philly was ridiculous. We had Comcast and shit. What happened, man? I think I broke my finger, dude. Dude, stop crying over there. Can you focus up?

Am I? If you broke your finger, then like... I was... This was going to be my season, too. But... This was my game. But about MW... About MW3.

Red dots are back. Cool. Fuck. I mean, goodness. Dead silence? This is what's interesting. So the perks are categorized into gear. That's what's interesting.

So, like, if you want... If you want fast hands, you have gloves. If you want... If you want, like... If you want to be able to hear people better, you have, like, a headset. put on like all those perks are like gear and apparently dead silence is like boots or some shit oh this isn't Zelda the okarina fucking time i don't get it i don't get it either that sounds this is no like so like if you want a perk yeah like you have like a piece of gear that

oh like your gloves are slightly your boots give you dead silence your fucking your helmet gives you less headshot damage like just shit like that like it's gear based which is That's probably said. Which is interesting. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not.

I mean, you go back. Go backwards in this, in this instance to go forwards and how much fun people are going to have. If you just have the perks that you pick, all of this customization, like look at my fucking gloves.

Look at my fucking boots. Look at this band. I'm doing it right now. I'm doing it. I'm doing it. The store? They're making sing. They always do that.

Like, they throw you the two things, two little things you ask for. And then let me throw in. I knew. You got to build your character out. He's like, here's some fucking hush money. Yeah.

The fuck up. That's literally what it is. He's like, don't go play no more. He's like, yes, shut the fuck up, Seth. You know what I mean? It'll be interesting. At least they have Ninja this year. That's, that's nice.

I mean, they have ninja, they have red dots. Hopefully the maps aren't complete shit. Hopefully the time to kill goes up a little bit because holy fuck. Holy shit. I mean, there's a couple things that there's more things outside of those two things that need to be changed for it to be like a great success. Yeah.

But that's so good so far. Yeah, that's a good story. Signal. It's a far off. No cap. Based on audio cues. I did hear that the time to kill is going up a little bit. Oh, really?

That's what I've heard. Like, just completely rumored. Like Halo? Nah, no, no, no. They can never do that. But like, I mean, if it was cold, if it was Cold War time to kill, I'd be tight that I didn't play. This is my thing, though. Because that game was great.

While they're trying to dumb it down for more people to, obviously you want to grow the business and you want to grow your audience, that's across every fucking business. You want more clients. But while dumbing it down, they're also turning away the popular good pros and kids that are going to make the color do. Like if everyone's playing Call of Duty because of how awesome it is, nobs or new people are going to come in regardless

just because they're going to do that. And they're not going to be like, they're going to find reward in getting better every single day. This is dumbing it down to make it easier when they run into fucking people like y'all, like people like me. They're obviously going to be in a in I don't know man I just I think it's backwards the way that they're doing it

It's been backwards for it I was never a pub person Me either bro a GB all day kid yeah like no golds no life Like Well when it comes out of war zone How does that work with like MW3 Is it gonna be another war zone or like you know what I'm saying? Yeah Oh it is I'm sure they have to yeah

They have to right I'm sure they do But why is there no leaks though like insane map you know I'm Yeah, around this time. We're usually getting like... I feel like Warzone's more insane with that than MW's dream. It's got to be coming soon, right? We're almost in August. The game's probably going to come out like October.

Does that drop around the same time? No, right? I'm going to tell you something. Does Warzone come out the same time as? Never, right? No. It's been coming out delayed, I think. Oh, well, what will happen more zone.

As mentioned in the original Textmon Warfare 3 is apparently going to bring a whole new map to Wars on as well. They should. There's never going to be... Bro, people are going to... This is, they're going to run the same playbook that they've been running. Why wouldn't they? I don't know how things are going to work now that they're going to be owned by Microsoft if that deal goes, goes through. Oh, is that thing?

Oh, shit. Wait, that was the map, right? That's the map. Los Almas. Mercado Las Almas. I, wait. If it's anything like Mercado, y'all are in for a long year in war zone. Oh, it's Mercado.

Damn. That map was that. Dude, look at all those, look at all the empty space. Is this? Is this desert? Yeah, it's Mexico. Las Almas. Mercado de las Aras.

Man, y'all got no green over there? No what? No green? What you mean? Y'all? Look at the skin you're in, brother. You never been? No, I never.

You never been to Mexico? Wait, so which family member of yours is Mexican? Mom's or Pops? So, wait, if my dad's born from El Salvador, he's Mexican, right? Say it again? Er no. Yeah, El Salvador? Dark Zero, when ALGS split two playoffs.

El Salvador is a... El Salvador is in South America. My mom's dad is born from Mexico. Okay. El Salvador. So wait, that shit's... Matt, can you bring up the fucking map so we can teach the young man? El Salvador is like northern South America, right?

Yes. Apparently it's actually like not that bad anymore. Right how it used to been? You probably don't know. I always thought El Salvador was like in the Mexico, the bottom part of it. Yeah. There you go.

El Salvador. Okay, and then you have Mexico, and then you have the United States of America. Central America is where your pops is right? Wait. What? Wait, wait, wait. I didn't know Canada was above us. Not even lie.

Let me guess. 2.30. Yeah. Very affordable. You like those? I also got the La Pisa Zools, but they're not here. And I got the La Pisa Zoolis because of Minecraft. You got to wear it with like a specific tea.

You got to, yeah, you could pick any color though. You could pick pink, purple, green. You could do anything. You go black tea, blue. I'm wearing the 2015. Yeah, I like that. Yeah, y'all should probably remake that Loki and... You like this one?

Yeah. The green wall with the Opti Gaming on it? Oh, was the sign this back in 2015. I probably wouldn't wear those, but then again, what do... Wait, which one? Those shoes. But then again, what do I know about shoes? These match you...

These, these encapsulate what you are, a mismatched person. This is what you wear. No, but this is how he, this is how he dresses already. Hey, shit. He's trying to get you. I'm kidding. What's up, man? You want a pair?

You want a pair? Listen, you're the start. I keep forgetting. But I mean, if you're offering shit. You can ask how many, I wouldn't even want them. Yeah, right. I would literally say no. For these shoes?

Save your money. On these shoes? Save your money. You're a slice 11. They're on the way. I'm not even being a hater. They're just not for me. Yeah, I forgot what the dude was telling Nate shot in game chat one day about like spending

money or so. He's saying something. And he's like, I'll be all right, brother. I think I'll be all right. I forgot who he was talking. He was telling someone. He's like, Like, Nate, you're spending too much money on different stuff.

I'll be all right, brother. I think I'll be all right. Who is he talking to? Just some random or? Oh, God. Like, I think we're in Discord or so. Yeah. So you do like this.

I'm surprised. I thought you were going to be making fun of these. No, I fuck with them. Yeah, these are nice, super comfortable. I don't know when, I mean, I am a dad. And a lot of the youth are calling New Balance's statues and having like this thing with all the A6 and all the other stuff. But this new balances were like a. big thing back in our day.
