Keep lying on the timeline, weirdo. Just looking out. I mean, like, dude, it was bad. Ladies and gentle men, welcome, welcome to episode 167. Sorry, 165 of the Optic Podcast. This episode is brought to you by Factor Shopify, Rocket Money, and, of course, Mountain Dew. Thank you, Mountain Dew. We have an all-studded, all-studded, all-starred,

panel here we have my man you're all right dude dude these fucking things right the desk dude I always bang my knees into him we have Anthony Method Z Zinny

in the house we have a man scomper jumper of course we have William Big Timer Johnson and yours truly big optic hex here we got my man Maddie behind the camera no microphone damn Hector's coming back dude he's firing

Be honest Am I browner than I was when I left. Yes. Yes, you are. Matt, that's for you to compare that. You know what I'm saying? Matt, you shave though, right? So every time I go to Mexico, I put on a mustache. Oh, okay. And every time I do it, I fuck it up. And this time was no different. I fucked up. I fucked up. How'd you fuck it up? I just cut the wrong, I cut like too high or too low. And then I just got to set a point like right here. Yeah, I know. Yeah, that's what it's that. I don't even touch the mustache. I usually just in this. I've gotten better at this, dude. I used

to fucking used to butcher it. Oh man. You know how fucked up my brain works? When I looked over at you to see if you could grow one,

I got transported to that video you made. You know what I'm talking about? Were you shaved in the middle of the video? You were in the 60-50? I don't remember that one. Yeah.

And I'm like, oh, you should have done it. You should have answered that question after so that it would have been a seamless transition. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I can do the stash. So the middle question would have been you completely shaved

and then you go back to a second question is when you're not shaved. You know what I'm saying? You just inserted. It doesn't matter. Missed opportunity. No, no, no, no. I think it was an excellent video.

But what did I miss? How was the watch party without me? You didn't really miss a lot. I mean, we just business as usual, holding down the fort, you know, streaming. You missed some CDL beef. You missed some CDL beef. That was a fun CDL day. Was it a scrap you're talking about?

Yeah. It was scrapping. You tell a good story and then you add the color because you guys are a good team. Tell me, tell me a story if you were going to tell me. I'm, listen, scrapping. You know, there's usual beef. You know, there's usual your shit. I think, I don't think you're good type beef.

And then they brought the significant others into it. Oh, the girlfriends? Yeah. So, so girlfriends were tweeting. They were going at it. Wait, wait. The girlfriends were tweeting at each other. The girlfriend, Scrapp's girlfriend tweeted first, and then he replied, which pretty much

jumped started this whole thing. What did she say? She was like, I can't imagine making my boyfriend's achievements my entire personality, talking about Josh's girlfriend. And then Scrap replied, adding fuel to that fire, just stirring up more beef. It was bad. then they started going at it. Scrap starts deleting tweets.

Draza is tweeting him, you fucking pussy, don't delete your tweets. I mean, they were going in. Like some heinous shit. Personal? Hainess.

What's the most heinous? I mean, I don't even want to repeat it. Oh, you do it then. It was on Twitter, man. I don't fuck, why'd you bring it up? No, no, no, I'm saying it.

I feel dirty repeating it. No, I'm saying it was on Twitter. There's screenshots everywhere. He said, I'll put it in, not word for word. this is, you know, this is not word for it. How about you tell me and then you... But Scrap basically said something about like

Droz's girl hitting up everyone in the community. Like, it was just bad. Oh. It was just bad. There's a rule. There's a rule. You don't bring the girls into it. You don't bring the rules.

Listen, no family's involved. It has always been the rule. Yeah, it was bad. It was bad. But it is also... You know what? That's where I'll end it. As fucked up as that is and the true reality of it,

now watching those two teams play is going to be so much better. Like obviously like like it's so much It's fucked up because like I agree Who was in the wrong? Phase 1-3-0 No no no no Between them two Who was right

I think they were both wrong I think I mean they both just started going at each other Well no I think it was It has to be Scrapp's fault I think a lot more people hate Draza But Scrap is the one who Scrap push it

He was instigating Here we go Scrap side is sort of what started The actual personal beef Okay Drasa if you're gonna lie on the timeline Then don't delete it He doesn't mean pussy lanimous.

No, he means the actual. I'm gonna get you rock, gee. I'm gonna let you rock. Keep lying on the timeline, weirdo. Just looking out. I mean, like, dude, it was bad. Acting like you know anything, you dumb fuck. Acting like you know anything, you dumb fuck.

First of all, Drasa has a kid with his woman, right? Correct. Oh, that's out of line. I didn't know. I don't do that. Let me see, though. But then go back real quick. You literally had a kid when you're not even married.

I mean, he said that? For the record, I had a kid when I wasn't married. Wait, he said that? Yeah. Dude, they were going insane, man. He's out of his mind. Wait, can you go back? I want to read the girl on poke quote.

I once with you for like 20 years, though, before we got married. Let's read this one. I can't see because the glare, hector. Read the bottom one? He's like, I get out of him. Uh, blah, blah. Acting like you know anything, you dumb fuck. And then Scraps ass, finally someone told you what everyone won't, brother.

Got to look tough. Got to look through the lies to find the truth. Fucking Shakespeare. Got to look through the lies and find the truth. It got out of hand. And then we started talking about it a bit on the breakdown after. And then Scrap came in and he said, talk about Cod. And we respected his wishes.

You can't play mustard. But at the same time, it's like, it's all on Twitter, bro. So all this stuff has been deleted now, I'm guessing? Oh, yeah. Most of it, yeah. But I mean, either way, it's going to be so much fun to watch these two teams now. Did they play this weekend? Despite who's right around.

Will, you had a kid out of wedlock, didn't you? We were engaged, and then that sped. That's bad thing. What about you? Where's Embos? Damn, this is where the joke comes in. What about you, Bo? That you claim.

What about you, Zinsert? It's once in like two years. No, man. Oh, in the next two years. Yeah, I mean. It's a good idea. Yeah, I mean, we don't really have like a specific date, but we have like a, I want to have them like around when I'm 30.

No, no, no, no. Listen, here's, as a father, as a 44-year-old father of a 14-year-old soon-to-be-15, My recommendation is if you have you, if you can get your shit together by 25, have them in 25. Wow, you're out of your mind. You're telling, you're saying to expedite the process and- I'm going to tell you why, because everybody's going to say, oh, enjoy your youth, enjoy your youth, enjoy your youth. Fuck that. Work your ass off during your youth, raise a good human, during your youth for then to say, look, I'm 44, you know what I'm saying?

Like, I'm trying to see the world, you know? And not that live is in any way impeding that. But it does allow you to have more freedom because at a certain point, your kid is no longer a kid. It's just another human that you have a blood relationship with that's just going to go off into the sunset. The same way that I did with my parents. When I was 16 years old, like, I barely saw my parents because I was always out with my friends. I saw, I think there's two sides. When I was smoking Sagrits from my friends.

I think there's two sides to this. I can't relate, but I saw Seth Rogen tweet you other day. So you're on one side. And Seth Rogen's like, I don't want to have kids. me and my wife were waking up every day smoking and laying in bed naked. We can't do that with a kid. Yeah, Seth Rogan. Yeah. But I think there's two sides.

Naked. Lain and bed naked smoking weed and watching anime. I need at least, I think, four to five more years of stacking this fucking bread before I pop on out. Yeah. Yes. Do your thing. I support whatever you want to do is your life. At the end of the day, it's your life. I want to go to, I want to go to Switzerland. But if I could go back, if I could go back, you would do it earlier. And I can have Olivia, my daughter, the way that she is, every single aspect of it, I would have her earlier. See, this says the average age of mothers. The average age of mothers. So is is 25, so.

Oh, yeah, two years. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. She probably Googled it, you think? No. So what should I have kids? I mean, I'm sure if I was like, let's have a kid, she'd probably be down right now. Yeah, the thing is, is like. But I don't want that right now.

I don't need another me running around right this second. I'm going to tell you something. You do. I don't. Not right now. Life's too crazy right now. We got the watch party. Like,

we got too much shit going on. Dreaming? When's that going to change? For you? Watch all I never going to change. Watch parties are around until you're 40. But maybe I get to a point where you're bringing the baby on. It's probably never,

it's probably never going to feel perfect. What about you? That's fair. There's probably always an excuse to not. You're ready to know. You're right. You're right. in the work.

Yes. All right. All right. That's good. We love it. I just, we live, Jude and I decided on one. We decided on one before she even gave birth.

And when she gave birth, then we knew it was only one because of her, the complications that she had. But yeah, once, one's cool, man. Listen, the message to all you out there,

especially you young men out there, listen to me. Kids are blessing, sure. But you have a choice in how many you have. And if you can barely afford fucking one, don't have fucking two. Not always. That's where I kind of agree with.

You don't always have the choice. Sometimes things happen. Sometimes you get hit with twins, triplets. That's crazy shit. Obviously, obviously, what I'm saying is that you want to give your offspring, the life of your life, the best chance to make it out alive. And when you bring them into an uncomfortable situation, you're not only making your situation worse, putting pressure on your relationship with your significant other, but also unnecessary pressure on the, you're. pressure on the on the child truth man you know what I'm saying

but if you can afford them have 15 god damn it's up to you and again do what are the fuck you want to do remember that Hodge twins I do I got in hot water fuck out the way man we used to we used to watch watch did you know that they're now like super

oh I know political and stuff yeah did you know that yeah they used to be great but I got I got into a little bit of hot water because I retweeted over something not obviously like when we watched them we were at 60-50 oh yeah right like yeah man like that we got that from all up in them sugar walls man is that what you got it from I think I got it from

them and yeah you know and then all of a sudden like you know 10 years go by and it's our thing now I was like yeah man yeah man yeah what they used to say oh man he had your girl balls deep all up in her sugar wiles with his nuts hanging out man anyway somehow TikTok started fucking feeding me like their shit they are still hilarious I don't agree with their political or disagree they pivoted which probably good they were starting to like fall off a little bit and then they went yeah full-on political and they blew it they're bigger now than they were yeah yeah yeah anyway they uh they made me laugh they're funny you know um yeah man that's where

that's where i don't know why i brought that up but that's that's where it was so we're all over the place we got kids hodge twins fucking let's the the well i was going with that it's like there's always been a rule, right? It's a rule in war, going back to the beginning of, like, no men, no women and children. Is that true, though? That is true. Back in the day, they used to pillage.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm talking about it wouldn't. I mean, the Vikings, yeah. I don't know. I just started Shogun. That's a show everyone's raving about right now. Oh, we're going to start watching that too, yeah. And you got to watch Shoggan.

There's two episodes in. Wait, they go after the families? It's Game of Thrones, but Japanese, basically. Listen, the actor is one of my... That sounds great. The main actor is one of my favorite actors. He was the right-hand man of the main samurai in The Last Samurai. That guy's legit.

How's the score? Just watch it. I'm not going to give you anything. I would never tell you to watch something. Well, there's only two episodes right now. So if you want to binge it, like it sounds like you want to, you want to wait until the more episodes do that. But I don't mind having a Game of Thrones type feel where I'm waiting for an episode each week. I'm watching Tokyo Vice

And it isn't because of how much I fell in love with That's the guy you're talking about Yeah, what's the same? Hiroyuki Sonata Yeah, that guy Fucking, what a tank I don't know he was in a great actor Like one of my favorites

Anyway, I was watching Tokyo Vice Tokyo Vice is fucking legit also Really good. It's a crime crime show It's on Max. Max HBO Yeah, it's Max HBO But again

You know for I was already in love with the Japanese culture since I was a little kid, right, to begin with. So having just gotten to Tokyo and seen it live and realizing how awesome their culture is. Was it like a drama or something? Yeah, it's really good. It's literally game of, think Game of Thrones. No, no, no, wait. Which one are you talking about?

Tokyo Vice. Tokyo Vice. Oh, I'm sorry. Tokyo Vice is like a Vice. It's like a Vice. Everyone keeps somebody to watch that one. Yeah, yeah, it's really, really good. I'm surprised.

And you start to learn Japanese as you're watching that. You start hearing... I actually love subtitle shows. Like I love like when it's like in the foreign language and you have to watch your subtitles. Because I think some of the best movies and shows are like that. Like Old Boy, the Korean movie, I watched that recently. Holy fuck, that movie's crazy.

Memories of Murder, Parasite. Dark, which is a German show on Netflix. I've never seen it, but yeah. There are so many really good shows that are foreign and that I feel like a lot of people are scared to watch because they can't do the subtitles or whatever. But if you can, like, will your way through it, some of the best stuff out there.

So maybe if it wasn't a rule, it is one, a rule of mine. Anyway, harm. How was the fishing trip, man? Come on, talk to us. Guys, I got to tell you, man, it is heaven on earth for me. I want to incorporate a fishing day into the bachelor party.

You should have no saying what we do on your bachelor party. Well, yeah, yeah, fishing trip. So you want to incorporate a fishing trip. So you want to incorporate a fishing day on your bachelor's bar? Like some deep ocean fishing or like lake? No, no, lake. I don't want to go in the ocean. Bill Williamson?

We went to Las Vegas. We went to Las Vegas and got married in a shark tunnel. We eloped, yes. We loped. No. And it was just your family or just you two? Just us too. Yeah.

I told, I told them that when Jude and I got married, it was just like immediate family. Not even cousins, none of it. It was just like mom, dad, sister, sister, mom dad, sister, brother, brother, brother. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, it was great. Takes the pressure off everything. It's less expensive. Do you feel the pressure right now about the wedding and stuff?

Or are you just like going along for the ride? Along for the ride. Love that. I've always been a believer in that the wedding is for the wife, man, for the soon-to-be wife. Oh, yeah. It's that. So when Jude chose to do it that way, I'm like, baby, it's all, whatever you want to do. Anyway, so back to this thing.

I would be down to have a fishing day. It depends obviously over where we go. Like a nice six hour, like for the day and then for the night, we get fucked up. I mean, we could get fucked up the entire day. To give you an example, my man, Carlos, who I was on the boat with on the first day, started drinking tecates at around like 7.30 a.m. Damn! Dude, tecates are good.

As soon as the song came up. The red tecates are nice. The red tecates is where it's at. What's the difference between the red and the blue? Light. Blue's light? One's light? Yeah.

Yeah, the red decattes are really nice. My uncles only drink red, therefore. You put salt in that shit? Nah, I should have, but I didn't. Was you usually? Because I've seen you put salt in Corona. If I'm at home, I'll do the squirt of the lime and then just a little dash of salt. Electrolights.

Fire. I don't, I don't, it is, it is the birthday gift that I give myself every year. I get a, a charter for me, well, not a charter, but I get an all-inclusive trip for my friends. They pay for their tickets. I just pay for the, for the resort and the guides and other stuff. And then obviously at the end of the day, you have to tip everybody. But this place that I went to is Lake Baccarac in Sinaloa, Mexico. Wait, so you tip who?

You have like a guide? There's like five guides, two people per boat. And then you pay the ladies that when you wake up, they have fruit sliced. And then they bring you your breakfast. Weas con chorizo, frioles, tortillas. I saw those charo. The friote. See, I feel like I didn't see that.

I feel like I didn't see that part of the trip. there. The fuck you do it. I didn't put that in there because it was just like, and then you go out in the water. By 6 o'clock, you're on the water. Yep. And as soon as the sun comes up, the bite starts. You're just like, they're munching and you're just reeling in. And you're, I mean, I got really, really, really, really.

How many did you catch totally think? Total, like over 200 fish. Two hundred? Personally? Personally? It's all. So nobody's fishing the shit. No, there's people fishing it, but these are the ones that you only take pictures of,

the ones that matter. Damn. The big ass, wait. How many days did you fish? That was like a seven, three? The one on the right is in 8.14. The one on the left is like a six-pounder. How many days did you fish?

Three. Bro, that Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Two hundred and three days? It probably more. That looks huge. It was. I caught six-sevance. Maybe seven-sevents.

If I would have been in Vegas and I hit that many sevens, I would be fucking, I don't know what I would be. Wealthy. So your line is in the water, what, five minutes and it's Biden? No, I mean, you do. It was, it was, the thing is, it was. The thing is, is like, you'll catch little ones, like all day long, but you don't want to. So, yeah, sort of. You'll catch fish, is what I'm saying.

If you've never caught a fish, like my man, Mario, the guy that used to work with us at the hexporters. Yeah. Like, Mario had never caught a fish. And by the end of the first day, he had 45 fish. Jesus Christ. Yeah, by the end of 40. That's a cheat coat. Yeah, that's where I want to go.

But, but, like, click on the bottom one, Matt, that one? Like, look, the background, the surroundings that you're in. You are in literal nature and in. It is untouched. Wait, that pick goes crazy. That does go crazy. The background, the fire ass, Gugan Mountain Dew. Are you or is that Turcla?

No, that's me. Look at the pigmentation on my skin. It's brown. My man, Turcla, he's on the fair side like you. Yes. But yeah, the one thing that I can tell you is this. There are not so easygoing parts in Mexico, sure. But never in the last four years that,

I've flown to Mexico to go on fishing trips or to be there for whatever I'm there for, have I ever experienced anything negative? Well, do you have like a car service pick you up and drop you at like a car? Yeah, a van, a 10-person van. It comes in. So to give you my route this time because there was no direct flights there, we took a two and a half hour flight to Mexico City. We waited there for like three hours for our next flight from Mexico City to Los

Mocis. From Los Mocis was two and a half hours and then we had a three-hour drive up to the mountain. Damn. where we were. So you five hours of flying time? Let me tell you some. How south were you?

Not that south. How the fuck did you fly for five hours? No, we didn't fly for five hours. Well, because there was a stop. So it was two and a half to Mexico City. So see that blue? You see where it says Mexico? Yeah, Mexico.

To the right of that, right there, Mexico. So from Dallas, you see where Dallas is? Yeah. So from Dallas to where the arrow is, that's two and a half hours. That's two hours. And then two and a half hours up north. And then two and a half hours up the mountain. I'm surprised it took two and a half hours to fly from...

Yeah. I get what he's saying. I'm surprised the second flight was two and a half hours. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I think it'd be like 45 minutes. Is it on like a dinky plane or was it on like a nice plane? No, it was a two row on each side. It was a smaller plane.

Engines under the wings or in the back of the plane? Under the wings. Okay, good job. Yeah, they said propeller or something. No? I've flown a propeller before in a snowstorm. Oh. Pennsylvania.

What? Yeah, I felt like I was... You? Huh? This was before you became you. No, no. This was probably five. years ago? No.

Fuck that. Oh shit. Oh yeah. Procellers looking down. It was just snow everywhere. It was like a 45 puddle jumper from fucking Harrisburg to Philadelphia. So yesterday, Monday.

It was shit. I was freaking out. Yesterday Monday on the way back, we got up at 3.30 to be out of the resort by four. Got to the airport around, I got home at 8.45 last night. But my travel day started at 3.38. Damn. And you're only going to Mexico.

And it was crazy. fucking worth it. I mean, there's, like, now we have like an easier route or trajectory going there, but I tell you,

man, it's, it's, uh, it's the most beautiful place on earth that I've ever been to, at least, uh,

it, it's just nature at its core, man. That looks insane. How'd you find, you've been to this place before? Uh, no,

there's, there's charter guides on there. We stayed at, um, at back rack, federal, I'm sorry, let me tell you,

the name of it because I, I want to do it. It's like an all-inclusive in hotelism? I mean, yeah. It's not all inclusive from the point that like your food's

taken care of. What the fuck is going on? No internet connection? Have you fished? My question was, have you fished on this lake before? I've never fished this particular lake but I have fished in the mountains

of Sina Loa. How'd you hear about this? Because this to me looks a lot more low key than like I know like a hype spots like places that like Tulum and like. Yeah, yeah, no, no.

Toloom whatever's on TikTok or like how do you find the low key places like this? Fisherman. Fisherman, yeah. So, This has Florida strained bass in it, the same as every other Sinaloa thing. So I fished in Sinaloa four times. I fished Lake Comedero, which is more beautiful than this one than this lake.

But the resort there wasn't as classy as this one. So this is literally, it's a fishing destination. It's a fishing destination. You get in there and there's just two beds. Yeah. There's no TVs. And if there are TVs, but you don't fucking watch them. You don't use them.

Yeah, yeah. This is not it, Matt. This is not it, man. Don't show that one there, huh? You're probably so drunk by the end of the day, you probably just go right to sleep. Imagine this, all right? You're out in the sun, just fucking working your ass off, having the time of your life, drinking beers, left and right, smoking that joint, boom, boom, boom, having fun, here's a pig.

Croscated. You become a fish. You get caught. Not I mean, not me. But the water is fucking moving, right? Like the motion of the late, it's all good. But then when you go back in for break and lunch, which is about an hour and a half from 12 to to 1.30, be back on the water by two to two to seven, or two to six 30.

But when you get there, the ladies come there with a pinia collada. And I was sending you the picture. And it is the best pinia colada I've ever had. Was it in a coconut? It was like a, no, no, no, no, no. It wasn't the pineapple? Yeah. No, no, no, no.

Then it wasn't the best you've had. It was because I've never had what you're saying. But it was so good. It was delicious. The food was great. Everything, the 10 out of 10 would go again. I would love it if you guys would ever come on a trip like that with me. you would understand why I am in love with a place like this.

I want to go to Mexico bad, man. I just want to experience the food. You know as no me, but I want to do like a taco tour in Mexico. Wherever you bring me, just make the itinerary and I'm there. We'll have a local show. I mean, I am Mexican, but I don't know Mexico City, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. But yeah, it was good.

I never felt in any sort of danger. I never saw, I mean, we saw the traditional Federales and all that stuff. Yeah. What the fuck was that? Dude, that just scared the fault. I thought we's got... That's how it starts. I thought we just got bombed.

What do you mean that's up? I swear to God, though. You can see the smoke of the fire character. I swear to God, I thought we just got bombed. They got right there across the street? You thought we just got bombed? Dude, you didn't? No.

You didn't hear the fucking... That sounded like we're about to go. No. Oh, my heart skipped to be. Wait, really? Yeah, it sounded like a missile. It is. If we got missiles up here,

be unfortunate. No, that sounded like a missile about the airline side. If it got unfortunate, Matt, in the video right there and fucking upload it immediately. That would be unlucky. Immediately. No. Anyway, so again, don't be scared by the tall tales of the tell. Do be, do take your precautions. Yeah. Obviously. Don't go to places where you're not supposed to fucking go to. Don't get lost. Don't ask questions. Don't. Don't. Listen, I wouldn't go explore down there by myself. I had a guide who was recommended by another fisherman, Mr. Senor Bass fishing himself, used to be part of the Gugans, you know, that sort of thing. That's how I got the connection down there.

Excuse my ignorance. You take yourself, man. Japan, Mexico fishing trip? I mean, it's what this life is about. The only thing I'm familiar with is the Senoa cartel. Is that like a city? Senalo? Or is it like a state?

It's a state. Okay. Gotcha. You are in that state. Oh, yeah. Deep in that state. in the mountains. Damn. It is heaven on earth, man.

Good for you, man. I'm a little bit jealous. I'm not going to lie, because that sounds like a great time. You would have loved it, man. I know I would have. You would have loved it. I mean, you don't even feel tired at the end

because of the adrenaline that you have, like putting your hand inside of a wild animal's fucking mouth. Dude, they got to relax. They got to stop with that. My heart is jumping. Was it a fucking circus club? loud? Now I see the smart.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dude, that sounds like a, it sounds like a predator missile. Fucking whizzing past your head. Um, yeah, it was really good. Anyway, uh, if you're not a fisherman, you won't understand, but if you're a fisherman, know that that is the best. You don't eat none of them? No.

No, no, no. You don't fit for anything you can eat, ever. Not my thing. I don't go hunting. Yeah. But I do take the, like, uh, uh, uh, uh, rack, and Rob obviously go hunt for venison and they give me like the ground beef

they give me the beef sticks with cheese and them they're fucking delicious but I won't personally go and kill. I just see my dogs face in them I feel bad if I have to kill a bug. I don't kill a tuna or something. I don't feel bad if I got to kill a fucking spider like in Hawaii or something go tuna vision? You know a spider? A spider? Like a big spider I do jump in jacked out. I always think about it what if it was the rolls were reversed the fucking giant

you don't even see them and then you're just man I get it I don't do I go we we have a no kill insects rule in our house we just relocate them if it's too big I'm sorry

if it's a spider I'm smashing if it's too big of a spider you guys I said I'm smashing that motherfucker it's there to kill the mosquitoes that are going to give you the fever that's fine I'll kill those too all right well Bill yeah um

Optic Texas is currently third in the CDL 11 and 5 we've had some pretty fucking close matches the rocker matcher match is still the rocker matcher match was crazy. Yeah, I mean, it's still going to, I mean, yeah, but like, fair assessment, where do you see us? Are we a top three team? Third. I think we're third right now. But to be honest,

New York looks really good again too. Yeah. So New York's back in the top four. Us first New York would be a match. Really right now, there's five, I would say there's five contenders right now. Who's the fifth? Minnesota's not really a contender. No, there's four contenders right now. Four contenders, but Minnesota could easily beat. And the fifth is Vegas. But they could beat, but they could beat any of the top four. Like Minnesota, they went game five with Toronto. They went game five with us.

I think Vegas above Rocker right now. No, you're smoking that fucking. No way. Rocker's 0 and 5. They just lost the thieves. Yeah, man, man. I will say this. I called that New York...

I still think Rocker has a better chance. I saw the flip switch on New York. Everybody said that I was glazing. Everybody said that I was on it. I was just calling it, I saw it. And look at this now. You guys are proving me right. But yeah, the race.

The race this year is really entertaining because the league's pretty top-heavy, but the matches between those five teams in specific are always going to be like absolute bad. What does that mean for like the playoff qualification caught off? When is that final? At the end of the year for champs. Oh, gotcha, got you. Those teams right now. Wait, what's the eighth place team? I have a glare. What's the eighth place team? What's the eighth place team? 50. Miami. They have 50? Yep. And then what does L.A.G have 40, 30? 50. 50, 40, 30. Okay, gotcha. That's a pretty tight race there, bud. So you think our friends over at thieves are going to, what do they need to do to get up there?

They look a little better. Yeah, they look better. They made two roster changes. Afro? No, Afro's still on the team. They got crept and nasty now. Don't be deceived by Serge up there because Serge is going to fall to the bottom to the bottom 8, 9 through 12 if they keep playing like the way they've been playing.

Vegas is going up. Miami is going down. If things continue right now, as I think they will for the major, I think thieves will break into the top eight. Boston as well has been looking better. Potentially Boston. Yeah, Boston's been looking at. Search has a bit of a cushion.

Well, Miami was really good through the first split, and then they didn't win a map at the major, and now they haven't won a series in the second split. So they're kind of on the downward as well. Boston's on the up. Seattle, Miami, L-A-G. Thieves in Boston are on the up. Miami on the down, Seattle on the down,

L-A-G on the down. Carolina's kind of just been neutrally not great. But the good part is now Ultra was looking like untouchable and now Faye's come out in three of them

so now like it's just good to see like the top four teams are all like giving it to each other. Like Miami or so I would probably still give going into the major I feel like you have to give Ultra the favorites to win the tournament

but then it's not as strong as it was for like major one or post major one. And we have Optic Toronto this weekend Sunday. Oh, hell yeah. Sunday we got Optic Toronto. So that'll be telling we play Boston as well. I think on Friday

we played Boston so. We got some pretty It comes down to our search man. We get some tough matches this weekend honestly. When's that next major? Oh, Toronto is next? Major 3. No, Miami's next at the end of the month. Oh, okay. I don't think it's March 21st. Is it March 21st or the 24th? Yeah, something like that. Or something like that, maybe the 20th? But yeah,

I'm excited, man. I think... It looks competitive. Yeah, it's very competitive right now. Well, it's not, it's not super... Top five, top six is competitive. There's like six or seven teams that'll give you a competitive match. That's good. Some of the other ones, not so much.

Yeah. Right now. But yeah, CDL, I mean, it's been... The problem is that I said it yesterday, Zin's been saying it too. It's like, I feel like last year's game wasn't as fun to play as this year's game, but it was more fun to watch. Dude, I said this, just how the maps are on shit. I said this on stream when they were calling me faded. I think last year it was so much more fun to watch.

watch. I don't know if it's the maps or... Last year, more fun than this year? Yes, to watch, specifically to watch. Maybe it's because I feel like every team had a chance last year. What was the game last year? Because the skill gap wasn't as high. NW2. So I feel like that might be it.

Last year, I think more teams had a chance to win because of the game rather than now the skill gap's higher. So I feel like it was more fun to watch because series to series, they were more competitive because the worst team could fuck with these higher teams because of the less skill gap. So I feel like that may be a reason. I think the maps, honestly, like, I love the old school nostalgic maps, but we're essentially just forcing some maps to fit competitively because these are the maps we got given. Whereas, like, I think, because hotels in the game as a public match, I've been preaching that we need to bring hotel back into the rotation and competitive, get rid of

invasion. Then you have, there's other maps that we could implement, but I'm not saying by a landslide, but I do think, as right now, last year, was a more fun watch. Hi. Let's talk about Shopify.

bye besides when like the top teams are playing and I believe we're finally like semi I believe we're finally like locked in for Miami I think we're pretty much I see I never want to say 100% because it's always it's always subject to change

but I feel like we're pretty much locked in for Miami so pretty excited for the event. You go to Fort Lauderdale. Is the players? No, like us going. Oh, yeah. And we're not going to be at the venue and it has nothing to do with what people think it has

to do it. The lawsuit. It has nothing to do with that. But people like, we're not going to be at the venue. We can't say why either. It's going to be better than being at the venue. Why can't we say why? The space wasn't big enough to host us.

And we would have had to come out of pocket like a lot to put to put in internet, to put in lights, to put in a separate area for the show? Oh, they just literally. don't have the infrastructure. Yeah, the infrastructure is a smaller thing. So like the flank guys, like Tommy's, they're not going to be at the venue either. I think what we're doing is going to be way better than being in the venue. I think being in the venue is great when you have a view of the stage.

Like I don't think. Like Toronto. Toronto hooks us up. Toronto is the perfect type of situation because we're in the venue. You have a view of the stage. You can see and hear the crowd. That's the best. Boston, granted, I think they gave us a great setup.

Yeah. It's similar to like being here. here because we're just in a room behind a camera, whereas there is no actual immersion into the venue besides the fact that you know we're there. So I feel like this one upcoming, we're not going to say anything, but I do feel like this one is going to feel like an actual themed location watch party. It's going to be fun for us. I mean, we're, I mean, we can say what we're doing. We're renting out of Airbnb and we're doing it out of Airbnb. Yeah, but, I mean, yeah. Yeah, it's a little bit far from the venue. It's going to be dope. Like us three and Bose, we're all going to be in

Airbnb. We got a pool. Are they staying with us? Yeah, right, Matt? Yeah. Which have our own rooms and then content sharing rooms. Yeah, yeah. It's going to be, it'll be fun.

It'll be a lot of fun. They made like a whole subreddit like, they're not letting them go to the event. Which is not true. Always speculating. Well, that's what they fucking do, the Redditters. Because I probably haven't been on Reddit in over three years. Yeah, I don't go on it either. So that's Riley said that they made a thread.

Neither do I. I didn't even go on it. Yeah. I used to do Reddit reads. Hmm? I said I used to do Reddit reads. Some posts are actually great. I mean, some posts...

Yeah, but you got to sift through... Fucking... You know what? Gentlemen, continue to do what you guys do. I like reading, like, the competitive cod stuff. Like, opinions on what's going on, stuff like that. Have you guys seen the first Dune? Yes.

We need to re-wee. Me and Is need to re-watch it. Apparently... Yeah, I don't remember it at all, by watching. Everyone saying that Dune, is... The best sci-fi movie they've ever seen. Yeah, they're squirrel. One of the best side-by movies ever.

One of the best sequels to a movie ever. Like, I haven't seen one bad thing about it. I have not seen a single bad word said about it. Yeah. Which is surprising, because I feel like with a movie like this, it's usually all hype and shit. This one's like... Dude is so good. The voice?

Yeah. You watched the first one? I can't remember. I've watched the first one like fucking four times. I just watched it. I just watched it two weeks ago. It's confusing. As someone who didn't read the books.

I didn't read the books. There was a lot of information. It's a little bit. confusing. I did not read the book. Did not need to read the fucking book. It's just fire. And then Dune 2 obviously got the highest rotten tomato score of all time. Yeah, that's not true. Why? I'm looking at it. No, no, no, no. It was, it was the IMDB initial rating was number one for a debut movie, I think, or something like that. Yeah, and it's breaking box office records for themselves. It's good. Look. At the end, he got Shalames, Zendaya, Florence Pugh.

Because it's still in theaters. Butler guy. They're selling Butler, Elvis. From Masters of the Air and Elvis, that guy's great. Plus Masters of the Air. Oh. What? Incredible.

Yeah? Oh. What's it called? Highly wrecked out? I'm pissed because the episodes come out on Friday and I'm all caught up. It is insane. The last episode comes on Friday? No, it's probably like two or three more.

I'm going to wait, two, three more. Oh, it's so good. Masters of the Air? Yeah, we should rent to theater. An American wardrobe. We should just go an optic, dude, we should do that. For June? Yeah.

We should do that and we should do it. Aesap. I'm actually so down for that. We should do it Thursday night. I'm so down. I'm down. Actually? Yeah.

Fuck yeah. So down. I just don't need nobody talking. Thursday night's tough. My girl works. And I'd be in the dog house. I couldn't go. I had to see what her.

Well, I mean, if that's not, Jude's not coming. If that's the case, there's a whole lot of conflicting schedules that are going to come in. How about this? I'm not a part of this anymore. When we have to do all that,

I'm not a part of it. What the fuck? No, I don't want to talk about it no more. I'm just going to wait until it comes out and talk and watch it. It's all good. You guys can do without me then. Huh?

You guys can do without me then? No, no, no. I don't even want to talk about it anymore. Where are we at? Heck, you got to watch it. There's only one episode? Of what? Masters of the Air. No, like seven right now.

It's on Apple Plus. I think it's nine total. Okay. When it's done. Fucking Shay texted me. Shea, our head of sales guy. He's like, yo, are you watching this shit? I'm like, no.

Is it? Is it? Is it? Is it? I love pilot movies. obviously Maverick, one of the best, the best action movie of all the time. The CGI that they have and the amount of the amount of CGI, because there's like, I mean, this isn't really a spoiler, but there's like a dog fight, like every episode. And it's like intense.

Intense? Like every episode. I think there's maybe like one episode that doesn't really have as much. Yeah. But every episode, they're just like in the shit. It's great. It is great. No what I'm doing this weekend.

Yeah. I mean, I wonder what the budget is. is for, Matt, look up the budget for the show, because it's got to be insane with the amount of fucking... CGI. Oh, dude. It's like $250 million for one season. Damn.

Christ. Dude. Damn. Yeah, it's great. How much? $250. Millie. For one season. One season. Nine episodes. Do the math. What was Game of Thrones season one for reference? Say it again? I want to see the budget for Game of Thrones season one for reference. It has to be low.

Season one. Yeah, I know, I'm just curious. Budget, directed by Carrie Joe Fukunaguay. D. Rees, 50 to 60 million. 50 to 60 million. By then. Five to 10? Damn.

But they didn't have any planes. I know. Or carriers. Well, it was also like their test season before it literally took off. It's insane. And I usually don't like war shows just because I don't really like jump scares of people's legs getting blown off. I love that shit. But this one, it's good.

All right, so things to watch. Our recommendation for the week, ladies and gentlemen, is Tokyo Vice, Shogun, Ad Block, not I'm kidding. Masters of the Air and Dune 2. Yeah, a lot of good shit. We live in the best entertainment time ever. Yes and no. I do think certain things aren't like they used to be.

Dude, Masters of the Air. Like horror movies. Hip-hop. Music, horror movies. TV shows are the best have ever been now. TV shows. Because I think TV shows have taken over movies where it's like you get so many more good TV shows compared to movies. For sure.

I mean, you get you get 10 to 12 hour long movies in one season. And then... Well, that's funny you say that because I just saw a meme on a Meme on Instagram, which says, hey, I got this fucking incredible movie, but it's 12 hours long. Do you want to watch anyone saying, no, you're fucking crazy? Is it all right, do you want to binge watch one hour episodes for two? You know, they're like, yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Yeah, TV.

TV is king right now. And I fucking love it. Yeah. I love it. So good. Super excited. Banks. My brother, Banks.

Ricky. Mother fucking Banks. I'm CEO. Bitch. You got passwords back? He says, I got passwords back following no one, blacked out. I see you, partner. I see you.

What do? Buy everybody out? No, I think with the game square. all that matters is that banks and the boys have control have control we'll see how much of it we need it we need this sort of a uprise from them to to to come and help out back to the you know what I'm saying we're all growing this thing together so we need we can't be losing influential people like this so I'm glad

and happy that they're back man I'd pay to see an employee's face when Banks walked in he just tweeted you're all fucking fired like he's Logan Roy no like he's Ari Gold yeah he said you're all fucking fired

Lloyd Lloyd so yeah congrats let's see what the boys can come up with nothing but up from here or not just like Bitcoin big timer. Bitcoin has hit an all-time high with

69,210 per resistance. It's hitting some resistance. It's hitting some resistance. I wish I had some. I have Shib, which is basically directly tethered to Bitcoin's price because they both go up. Well, Shib is the shit coin, right? I wouldn't call the shit coin. It's

10th right now in Market Cap. It might overtake a Doge coin. No, but it started as a shit coin, right? It started as like, it was one Elon was tweeting about? Yeah, but there's I think that was Doge. I'm not doing about Doge. You're thinking about Doge.

No, you're thinking about Doge. No, I have shit. Correct. It might overtake Doge in terms of market cap. But I'm not going to act like I had no a goddamn thing about functionality of cryptos, but. I wish I had an actual crypto expert because there's so many of them on Twitter and TikTok right now.

I know the crypto expert. I don't know who to actually look at. D's. That's my man. And part of me feels like there's no point to get into Bitcoin right now when I see it like that. Why? Because it just hit an all-time high.

I feel like. Well, you're supposed. You're supposed to buy low, sell high. I feel like once you start hearing about it, you're late. Wait, what? Why does you like, once you start, buy high sell low? Once you start hearing about it, you're late, no?

No. Make it. Is that how it goes? Will, give me some of your taxis. I thought once you start hearing about it, you're late. I got no opinion, brother. I don't know. Fucking everybody can do what they want.

All right, fair. Fuck me. I truly, I just have no idea. It could go higher. like there it is I just meant general rule of thumb like I feel like everything that you hear about like the game stop thing if we all miss the game stop fucking

honestly I think about coming into the office and the first thing like when I hear like people asking me that typically aren't asking me about things it's probably like my mom texts me about AI stocks the other day she's like you know anything about these AI stocks are good ones to get in that's normally a signal that like probably too late

you probably missed it yeah yeah we'll see it could go higher though I did not miss Shib to the moon To the moon. To the moon. I've been holding it for three years. Hey, man, good. That's solid.

Solid. That's a solid hoddle. Is was telling me to sell it last night. I was like, fuck that. If you waited three years, you might as well hold that. Oh, it almost went to zero. Now it's fucking to the moon again. Hey, Matt, go back to the sheet.

But did you see the crypto punk? So which one was it? The alien one, right? It was the alien crypto? There it is. Crypto-Aliant, Crypto-Punk, I thought it was an alien one.

That's fucking Marty Bird doing that. Yeah, you had the same idea I did about that one. That seems like some sort of money laundering, washing something. Just a little something. I like to know. Look at that thing.

16 million, dude? 16 million. That's fucking sickening. Because that was just out of nowhere, it wasn't it? It wasn't like they started, there wasn't one that sold for like five and then seven,

and now it was just out of the blue. This sold for 16 million. This, it's, we are living. in exciting fucking times though because look at we're all saying oh this is crazy

it's crazy it's crazy but fucking is it crazy no it's crazy my worry my biggest worry with the current world arch we're on

is AI AI is getting to the point where it's like AI could recreate us sitting here right now talking about whatever the fuck they wanted to talk about that's scary bro

that's crazy to me yeah that's genuinely crazy and it's only gonna get more advanced and I do feel like so people are on different sides of this. I want to know what you guys think. There's a lot of tools now that AI helps for creatives where it can like pretty much do all the work for you. I feel like that like combats creativity. Like I feel like at that point creativity is so much more washed away

because everybody can just type a, oh hey, make me a graphic or a video with a background of waves. Like I feel like that takes away a key component to create content. Well the way it generates it too, it's technically like stealing art and like meshing it for. from stuff that was actually created. Everybody fucking steals. Everyone fucking steals. I mean, as I'm looking at this fucking Mountain Dew, the background logos, like I just saw our jersey walking by, and it's not exactly the same,

but it's got pyramids in it. But yeah, all art is stolen. Everybody's influenced by someone. I do agree with the fact, though, that, like, as a creative person, as someone who pushes creative on everybody around him, Matt, how many times have I fucking yelled at you for not being more creative, nonstop, right? Since the beginning of time.

I try to extract it out of everyone because everyone has something to offer and to not offer that something, it's a fucking crime. So I do agree with the creativity part. I don't like the... I had one guy using AI for my clips and my shorts

for about a week. And everything that I received never got uploaded. In what way was he? So he'd grab a video and then put it through a AI machine. To make it easy for everyone to do that. Put it to the AI machine. An AI machine.

And then the AI machine would cut certain things. But you'd see my face like this in some of them because it just takes the center part of it. Right. And sometimes, obviously, the creativity of the way, the Fibonacci. The way that you positioned your subject was off in this case. So anyway, long story short, I agree with Zini. creativity is and always should come from a human brain or a living thing not a machine but everything else machines thank you I support AI I'm a friend of AI Bbbbbb Bob boop oh yeah hold on I love

AI that's what I'm saying that's just to be clear camera flies it out just to be clear I'm putting it out there I'm a friend oh look at that right guys stretching out a little bit then yeah man nothing wrong with that um all right well let's see Listen. We have HCS Arlington in 10 days. Well, listen, we have H-GAS Arlington in 10 days. My man, Zini is rocking an official H-C-S Optic Gaming Collab. It is fire designed in-house with human input, mine included, into the presentation that we have there. So a lot of people have been asking us what we're going to do about this because it overlaps with CDL.

So my plan right now is do the CDL watch party After that turn off the watch party like normal Boot up the Halo watch party and do what we can Yeah, let's cover what we can cover what we can Yeah, we got to see formal We got to see formal in the boys We gotta see my man Pisanguin Also known as Dead Zone come through

We have lucid You know what I'm saying? My man is trippy Where we had in the rankings? What kind of seed we working with? Listen, just know that the sentinel I'm sorry, just know that Face Clan has been activated okay our old team

with a PJ the great great great PJ and the boys are doing I mean they're fucking legitness Frosty the champion yeah I'm excited it's the I'm excited for a man it's the first Halo land back

and we're hosting it here in HCS I unfortunately will not be there I am filming season three of idiots and I unfortunately won't be there the schedule just didn't allow Juan the third co-host of that. One of you should come in earlier than usual

so you can catch the tail end of that season. Ooh, we'll talk. We'll talk. Talk to Bill Kenny. We'll talk. All right, but here it is. Here are the pools breakdown.

Why don't you give it to us? Scumper jumper. Where's our pool? We're in pool D. We're with complexity and bittersweet and then an amateur team that comes in. So complexity's been looking pretty solid online, so they're obviously a better

seed than us. They actually take the fourth seed. We're the fifth seed. Bitter sweet. I think we should probably roll them up. Roll them up and smoke. I thought we had penguin. Dead Zone. That is penguin. He changed his name. Gotcha. That pool, yeah, Pool C looks insane. Pool C looks crazy. Sentinel's Rebellion and Stainers, which is Gilky King Nick.
