Welcome, welcome to episode 290 of The Optic. Podcast this episode is brought to you by Proton, VP, and we'll tell you a little bit more about them later on in the podcast. Today we have my man Shotsie coming up a fresh-ass win. Two wins, right? Do you want a legacy week? I've won one time. Okay, one-one.

And then we have two. We ran into each other in the parking lot. And, of course, we have the scumper jumper. He's late. again every time I come in town for these podcasts. Did you drive here today? I drive three and a half hours. You drove three and a half hours today?

I'm here on time. I'm fully fed. I pooped. I wipe myself. I'm on time. As per usual. And Sethi is never on time when I'm here. It's all good.

It's all good. Something to be noted. It's all good. So we just had the Legacy Week recap. I mean, I thought it was one of the funner things. I'm always like, I'm always worried about the player. So let me ask you, right? especially because this time you literally just got off a sick-ass flight,

a sick-ass tournament, and then straight to work. Yeah. How would you like to do it next year instead? I mean, now that it's over with, I don't mind it, but it was more just like being international.

Because like, bro, the time change going from like, bro, I don't think you understand. I travel. No, no, not even the travel, just like the schedule I was on. Like, we weren't playing until like eight to 10 p.m. Yeah, yeah, that's crazy. So, like, I wouldn't just like fuck up my schedule on purpose.

sleep at like 7 a.m. I sleep at 7 a.m. and wake up at like 3 p.m. Then I fucking wake up, blink, and then the day's already over. Is that right? Yeah, it was weird. So next year when we do Legacy Week, if we do Legacy Week, like, how do you? No, I mean, it makes sense to do it right away because, like, then everyone can just travel. Yeah.

Go back to their homes, you know? You got any traveling coming out? We've got to take it. Yeah, I'm going to San Diego in like a week and a half. Are you really? How long are you going to be out there for? For a wedding, three days. For a wedding?

wedding. Dolo Dolo? I'll be insane. You got to take that bracelet off if you go though. Yeah. What? That's the

catchy area. No. No. San Diego? You don't even know where he's going. San Francisco's nice. San Diego's

nice. San Francisco's kind of shit. If somebody asked me if I had to move to L.A. To California, it would not be L.A. and it would probably be San Diego's my number one. I don't know why people would want to move to L.A.

What's so cool about L.A? I mean, it is cool once you're there. The traffic just ruins everything for me every single time. Every time. Good weather. Every time. Strong weather.

The culture there's awesome. Everything about L.A. like draws me to it. But once I'm there, I just feel uncomfortable that I like I, going out is dreadful. Going places is dreadful. I just not my thing. I don't like it either. But San Diego I can get with.

I've only been there once when I was like 12. You want to know what the, I would probably live like northern California. the Emerald Triangle for obvious reasons, but also just like I love pine trees and I love like mountains. Is that near a beach? Yeah, I mean, it's on the West Coast. Eventually you hit water.

It is all the coast, yes. Yeah. That left side of it. Where even is it on the left? Like San Diego is like... All the way to the bottom. Oh, it's all the way to the bottom. Yeah, like you could be in Mexico in 15 minutes.

Actually? Yeah. Oh, that's good. Tijuana's got really, really good food. Not that I've ever had it, but I've heard good things and I could just see. And I'm also from a border town called Juarez.

Better than Tijuana. No offense. No, I'm trying to get no, start no beef. Is there beef there? Why'd you do that? Is there beef? That's two points. I don't think so. I don't think so.

I mean, I don't know. I have no business out there. It's all Mexico, right? Mexicans, yeah, I don't think Mexicans should be fighting with each other, so I've got to say. I've been saying that. Anyway, yeah, so San Diego's dope. But Sacramento, Sacramento is probably like one of the best food places I've ever visited. Really?

I mean like, bro, like the best burrito I've ever had was out of a food truck in Sacramento. Bro. Tell me about it. Fire. It is the most fire burrito I ever had. It was like perfectly made as from a food truck. Matt's showing it right now on the screen. What's the capital of California, you know?

Capital of California. You know what? Anaheim? Tomacula? It's sneaky. Petaluma? So it's a city. It sure is.

Petaluma? If I had to guess... If I had a guess... If I had a guess, I'd say... I mean, this is the only thing that comes in mind to San Francisco. I think it's Sacramento, isn't it? Oh, Sacramento. It's not Petaluma?

Isn't that where... Hutch is either from... Okay, Hutch is from Petaluma. Page is from... Gino Hills? There he is. Oh, shit. Welcome in.

Welcome in. Welcome in, sir. He looked to the left. Yeah. What's up, man? Welcome. You tweaking? He hasn't slept?

Good morning. What's up? Welcome. Favorite place in California. Watch this. Watch this. Hold on. Did you all start?

Oh, yeah. Of course. Oh, shit. Listen, listen. Watch this. Ready? If you could move any city in California, which one would it be? If I could move to any of them, San Diego.

No question. Told you. Wow. It's fire, dude. It's fire. Yeah. It does get, it does get a little bit too hot. Whoa, what's happening?

Huh? What's happened? What's some Zinz? Man? Never seen him so frazzled. You're wiry this morning. Nah, here to explain?

That's just hilarious, bro. What is? Him. Because I want, he's the only one that laughed. Are you being late? Yeah. And the rest of us are used to it.

Am I right, tush? That's right. What did you say? Last time you were here, he was late. He drove three and a half hours and he got here before you. that's crazy interesting vibes here from Seth I just woke up right

you got to I literally woke up is woke me up and she's like but not she woke me up and I turned off my alarm and she was like

turn off all your alarms right now because you're going to wake up Jack and I looked at her and I was like fuck that kid well no I can't say what I'm going to say right Okay.

Good bit. Good bit. We had the statue. We had your statue replace. For the intro. Yeah. And guess what? Who's fucking did.

This one. Y'all cut my head off? Yeah. Who did? No. It was more he'll never say it. Is that like a sign? It was way more hex, but he'll never say it.

Okay. We got that on video, right, Matt? Can we, it may have been, I don't know. It's a handoff. I mean, once your hands in place, I let go, you have to. Did you, but did you make, did you see? I would have to. you thrown it up here

over here. Yeah, well, that's not what happened. He said this. Wait, why don't you? No. It's just fell. Run that replay. Why don't you cut my head off?

We did it. I had it at the bottom and then you also went bottom and then I think there was a forward dump. I literally did. And then they just never caught your hand. The second that I knew was going to happen, look at the replay, I literally, I was just like, I knew it was going to fall. So we were talking about everybody.

I was asking about Legacy Week and what they liked. Obviously, they had just gotten off a big, long international flight. they just competed. One, congratulations again, I keep telling you. That boy. Yeah, man. That a boy? What do you think about, I want to talk about this whole, the whole roster stuff.

And I know that we have a couple of topics here, but. Yeah. When you see that many people building teams, super teams in some cases, maybe, obviously. Like, I understand the game. I understand the creators are going to over-emphasize. I mean, we do it sometimes, right? But I know that it's a hot topic. The Hooke, Hydra, fucking, who was Simp?

Who else is moving? Well, I mean, apparently everybody's on the move over there now. Fucking, there's a lot of people. I don't think Sim's moving. Not anymore? I don't think so. I heard, bro, everybody's fucking, I don't know what to fuck to believe. Can we not report on rumors?

Unless you get to a big old baggie. This is what I'll say. This is what I'll say. If somebody's going to say rumors? The Falcons, I mean, if they throw a little. baggy. Yeah, but if somebody says, it's like, rumor has it. Okay, who said the rumor so that we, as the audience can say, like, whatever.

Like, we were, uh, what was I was watching the, I was watching every single podcast in existence. The dope check. I was watching, um, uh, the podcast with, uh, Nameless and Ben J. Ben J. Oh my God. This guy. What? For the first time ever, I see what other people see sometimes where like he's like,

he's like, yo, you're going like, relax, Ben. Like, you're going, you're, you're making shit up because I can make shit up too. And if we're going to sit here and say, Dude, I think a better team. Oh, my God. Guys, let's be so for real. Let's be so for you. You're not a great GM if you can say the words.

What if it was Hydra Scrap, Shotsie, and fucking formal? I can make up fucking God squads all day long. Let's be so for real. Whoa. What? A fucker's old. It'll literally take him three months to be at the top of the food chain again. You too.

Me too? Yeah. Yeah, three months. I like that now. Tails wagging a little bit. Yo, I'm going to ask you right now. I'm going to ask you right now. And it's a different.

Yeah. You guys stop. It's a different scenario. This guy's killing me this morning, bro. I'm literally acting like this because he's laughing so hard. I hope you realize that. If he wasn't laughing, I'd be normal, but he's laughing. So I'm just, I'm in flow.

You got a classic case with the giggles. Wait, wait, wait. So what was your question? My question to, thank you. My question to you was like, if you were, Caludurdy goes away, HALOs on the up and up. How long would it take you to be back to your Shotsie in HALO? The HALO right now or the HALO.

You pick it. Oh, HALO. The new HALO, the new HALO. The new HALO, the new HALO. The new HALO, right away. Yeah. This is a really bad comparison. I mean, we're comparing.

Yeah, he's been playing for a year. You haven't played at all. I get that. We're comparing it, you know, in the heat of his career. No, I know. Loving it. Yeah, you were already retired. Win in 150 grand, 200 grand,000, whatever.

He don't even care at this point. Where I was going To me and Matt Yeah A bunch of fossils But where I was going with that Is that anybody can make anything up That would sound cool

It would be fucking dope Huh? What I was going with that Is that anybody can make up Things that sound fucking dope But in the actual reality Like are we just making Rosters just to say that they're like

You know Hot topics Oh yeah 100% Of course that's what people Tell about the clicks Fella you know that Clippables I get it

But But the thing is it's like again With rosters You can put whoever the fuck together But you never know if it's going to click. So it's like you could put four the best players of all time on one team and you never know.

Just sometimes teams don't mesh. Yeah. You got to have, it's like every team has like a like a formula. It's weird. Yeah. You know, like our team, that's why we work so well is because him and it or him and Kyler play so similar, but it

works because they play so similar where other subs you have like 04 who's faster, who's simpler. It's just you never know like how these teams are going to match. So it's like, I don't know, roster mania is insane. Yeah.

I like our team a lot. So do I. So topic that I was asking you in the end. Yeah. Do you feel any sort of way about people like literally building super teams to beat our team? I mean, not really, to be honest. Because I mean, I think every year people are going to make a change regardless.

But I mean, I think the talk of the town is like just, you know, people are making teams to beat us. Yeah. I just don't understand it. point and I again good I'm honestly I don't really care he cares you don't know no he doesn't I get bro I wish I cares a little bit he's like yeah try to I want to dude I can try to beat me I'm shots like good guys everybody that's out there like making and again look if we were in in in a bad position like when I said man like we could

have had we could have had hydra and we could have had scrap and that we went on to be oh and 18 the only reason I brought it up is because we went on to be oh and 18 I would have never talked about who I, who I liked. And, you know, I will say, who wouldn't want to have Hydra on their team if the right presentation was there or if the right position was there? Scrap, uh, fucking, I mean, you name them. There's so many good players out there. Yeah, of course we would want to have them, but that's not how it works.

Like here we have a system. It works. It's clearly fucking super worked last year, made every single grand finals. Why the fuck we would make a change? And guess what? If we go on to Luce next year, they're the ones that are out there playing. What are you not telling me? I mean, bro, this team just made every grand finals

like, yeah. That's never, it's never been done before. I don't think, right? Never. Never been done before. Never. And we're talking about changing the T, like, come on, bro. Don't rock the boat.

It's the saying that we say here at Optic. To go every grand final, I'll go fuck how many seconds there were. That's still crazy, bro. Just the consistency itself. You're spawning into every turny and making it to a grand final. Now, if I was to say, Seth, can't get greedy. Yeah, you can. I mean, bro.

Like. And the grand finals, we're acting like those grand finals, our team, we were getting five-oed, bro. We were losing like six, four searches. We were losing like, we were losing three round 11s at champs, like. Some of those I can still see. We're acting like we were getting slammed in finals, bro. It was always so fucking close every time. Okay, so my question to that is, are there any asterisks there that could have pointed towards?

It's like, oh, you know what, that's an asterix. Like, we, you know, weird format. I mean, the first major, I wasn't there, of course. So that's automatically the good luck charm's not there. Oh, so true. So that's an asterisk. The lucky charm. We definitely win that scar search if I'm in there.

A good luck charm faded, I thought. No, we would have, I don't know how he didn't win that. I thought I was going three to three. Yeah, I was watching it. Sun was just bored and Dan's getting God timing? I don't know how we lost that. Anyway, so yeah, no, it was an easy decision. You know why was an easy decision?

Because it was the right decision to make. I get it. If you, if you are the type of person that makes decisions, based out of competitive fear, then that's you. Then that's you. Then that's you. Me personally, I mean, I'd rather get into a fight to see what's what.

I'd rather get into a fight and see if I'm second place. I don't want to say I'm first place because I stop that good-ass team from getting together. And also, I can guarantee you with money on the line, I can put money on the fact that you can put the top of the food chain together, all four of them, the best they are, the best, the two, the two, best they are and the two best SMGs if one of them sneezes the wrong way or one of them choose on the mic the wrong way and the other one doesn't take the criss it's chemistry at the end of the day too

you're not guaranteeing that chemistry is going to work with the fucking four mega stars on one team facts you know super random but you're like sneezing on whatever the fuck but it's kind of funny because I've sneezed on Kyle her twice in season on Kyler? I swear to God. Like on him?

Don't disgustening. He's still locked. No because like you know how like when you just air it out? Yeah you sneeze you sneeze you you look away, but like my dumb ass keeps sneezing on Kyle's hip. And like, Kyle's like, you don't throw it to? I was like, what the? No, yeah, I need to. I'm just stupid. Let's adapt that in there.

See, but that's Kim though. Like, Kyle's like, I don't get the fuck. It's biochem. Now, I think the bit the biggest is quite literally. I think like, you're sneezing on him. You're still locked. Hornet hit him. He got stung, you still.

Oh, yeah, dude. Kyle's the was a wasp, man. No bullshit. Fucking the other day, there was a was a was like on the handle of the door. No. How is that even possible? Tyler. Tyler and then fucking we're walking in Paris.

So we're getting brunch with like the people at DWC. And there's just like a wasp on the floor as we're walking. Tyler. Fucking weird. Ciler is one with nature. Bees are very populated. I was going to say they do exist in the world. Bees are popular.

There's a lot of bees. Yeah, bees should. Hopefully they're still. Yeah. And they're mechanical. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I see a lot of wasp more than bees. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's not, it's not weird. How often are you in gardens? What'd you say? Yeah. Yeah, that's the answer.

Yeah. What do you think, Seth? Let's say gentlemen's pulse off the impossible and they have scrap, Hydra, Simp, and Joe Deceives. Scary team, of course. Yeah, of course, it's scary team. But again, it's like, it's all chem. It's all chem.

It's all how you prepare before the tournament. And with our team, I feel like, I mean, I'm not in the room for scrimms every day, but you can just tell. Like, the preparation is always. there. It's like that consistency is just so impressive. And for that to happen, you know, a lot of things are going right

outside the game. There's no Omni movement? You're hype for that? Okay, yeah, dude. Wait, why? Because, like, Omni kind of, well, you probably like it, but. Well, I'm a movement person, so, like, with Omni. So, why wouldn't you like it if you're a movement person? Because it's way too easy.

Yeah, like, Iowa. Way too easy. Agreed. And with all the settings and shit, like, the fucking aim or the bounce assist and shit it's like yeah the wall jump assist yeah the wall jump assist what is that just makes it easier so just like jump right and then like if you don't even need a pressure jump if you're next to the wall it'll just do it for you pro players are a bunch of cheating i wonder who use that oh who doesn't use that a lot of people use that well and then there was a different one there was a different setting that like it's

like press on release i don't know some weird shit but i'm good now that we don't have any of that i'm actually curious to see because i don't think we've seen uh fucking what players what players are new that we haven't seen on it like I guess what A lot probably O four

Lurks Abe Kipps like yeah I don't know because O4 Abuza Uh oh yeah Hytra

have we haven't seen Oh yeah No no boza is MW3 yeah Paco MW2 but I mean I guess yeah

Luca XNid Exit right XN yeah oh shit yeah so it's gonna be interesting seeing like how much people if there's any

movement diffs I feel like Jamie's actually gonna be you know Jamie's back Yeah but he's a free agent I guess he tweeted out So

He'll find the team for sure Many people So many people Yeah I haven't really been keeping up With Rush Romania as much I'm not gonna lie I mean there's just so much happening It's like it's impossible

Unless you're like Watching the streams every day And fucking actually like texting the players and shit It's so hard to follow Where the fuck But there's a question mark On Simp right there

That's nuts Apparently draws his out too I don't know I saw something about like I mean, I don't know how true it is, but they're thinking to get into Luca. See, that's the thing. I don't even know what's true and what's not.

I don't want to say shit, and then, like, people are, like, that's spreading lies. Yeah. But I think, I think they just want cash. Yeah. Of course. That's, I wish they would just want wins, man. Because when you're making moves.

It's ain't the NBA, bro. Yeah, but when you're, but it's small, what do you mean? It's ain't the NBA, bra. Yeah, exactly. That means that what? What does that mean? They're trying to secure their fucking bag, and I respect it. Yeah, you respect it because you think that way.

Yeah. Yeah. It's wrong. You're wrong. You shouldn't, you, you should. What the fuck? I'm going to tell you. Let me tell you why.

Bro, the shelf life of a cod player is not that long, first off. You get your fucking bag. What is the shelf? I mean, you don't sacrifice, like, you don't go to a bottom four team for it. No, of course. No one's saying that. But if you're going to a team with three other good players that you know, you'll still have a great chance with.

I don't know. I think you're turning your back on not just your team, but the fan base that supports that team and you're putting the fan base in an awkward spot. Okay, get your bag. Yeah, you don't care? You don't care? Like, if you left the green wall, you wouldn't give a fuck? Obviously not, bro. But it's like...

That's what I'm saying. It's, you know what I mean? Like, it's... He calls ass out. No, it's not that he knows what I'm saying. What I was just trying to make a point, like, there are certain, like, there are certain lifers that even the org should definitely consider going completely out of their way. to meet in the middle because the org also has a fucking responsibility to that same family to keep the big shot.

If they can get it close, yeah. If you're taking like a 10, 15% decrease of what you could get, yeah, that's one thing. But if you're going to get an MC bag and make almost a million dollars a year, yeah, you take that. Shotsie, that's what I was saying. Go somewhere for five, we split it and then you come back in like a year. Yeah. Dumb What do we just say about the green

Walsh, Sotser, come on, we can't You know what I'm saying I don't know why you just tried to paint me like a fucking I didn't Obviously you've been You're a lifer you've been here for These guys are making You know

Some of them making 50K 100K Like if you get offered That's not None of the players We're talking about Are making 50K Yeah yeah

But like if you're a simp There's guys in the league Making only 50K season Yeah Like lower Lower yeah C9 But if like you're

Simp, for instance, and you have the chance to go to a good team and get paid? You don't see. Jotsie, too, man. Stinky. What happened? You're only making 50, too. Yeah, I'm only making 50. It's all good, though.

He's here for the love of it, you know what I'm saying? Exactly. We love the green wall, man. Yeah, I don't know. So ultimately, if you were to, if you were, let's say you're GMing for, I don't like to say Falcons because even though they do have like unlimited funds. Fucking Mambo, look at them. Look at them.

The stealth bomber, homie. Yo, that's actually one of the craziest things. Which one? Like in the middle of the year? Like, he was like a top four sub. He's still restricted? And then he just like, didn't play a champs in EWC. That's crazy.

And he's still restricted. I mean, he had to have done some shit, bro. That's crazy. Yeah, I think that's like going back to like the formula, like the fucking. No. What? Super is officially. They're all, I think.

I think an org is going to join or some shit, like taking place. Well, yeah, M-80, aren't they rumored to take Boston's place? Oh, really? So, yeah, they're probably going to take this place. I'm assuming because why the- That was like the rumor M-A-D was taking Boston's... Because why would they unrestrict everyone? That makes no sense.

They're unrestricting everybody so that they can pay them... Well, that's just their contract up. Oh, that's the thing? Well, if you're like, yo, we're going to let you go off and explore your options. And if nobody wants you, well, yeah, we'll keep you butt at a lesser... price. But again, this is like, and look, I'm no one to tell anybody

how to run their business. I know at the end, people are putting money up for this shit and blah, blah, blah, blah. But, man, it's like, if, I don't even know, I don't want to get into this. It's going to sound like

fucking religious mumbo-jumbo for me. So I think keeping the fan base at the forefront should always be like everyone's decision. The number one decision-making point in every single organization, because without your fan base, what do you have? You know, you won't be able to pay your players

if you don't have a fan base. What are you talking about? What are we doing? You can't sell sponsorship saying, yeah, we're going to compete against Optic on Sunday or on Saturday, and there's going to be X amount of views, so your logo, the opposing team is going to get X.

That can't be your only thing. You have to build your audience. You have to care about them. You have to give a fuck. Right on. Modelwork for beta. This week and when does it start? Friday.

I'm locked in. Friday's caught next bro and it's from home. Are you playing? Yeah, of course. Can I be on your team? What are you going to play with? Who's a better friend than me? I mean, obviously if it's teammates, sure.

But if I see you playing with... How much people is it six? I don't know because it being from home, like I would assume there's probably going to be more people playing it, I would think, just because it's from home. it's, you know, easier to set up. Wait, I just realized, Codnex is only for people that are invited? Yeah.

Oh, shit. You're invited, right? Yeah. Well, so it's like Codnex is like the kickoff, like, event, and then right when Codnex ends, the closed beta start. So you have to have, like, the pre-order or I don't know if they're doing, like, drops on the streams and shit, like get a code. And what is the actual beta?

Like right after Codnex. Oh, so. Like Codnex ends, the closed beta goes live. Yeah. Oh, I can wait. Like within 15 minutes? I don't know exactly how it's going to work. but I'm assuming like yeah, Codin X ends

and then I'm pretty sure they're pushing it live. It's crazy. I y'all get a new game every year. Yeah. That is one thing that calls it. That is one thing that we are blessed about. Our weakness is our biggest strength also? Is this crash?

Yeah, it's like even if we have the shittiest game of all time, it's like, well, we'll just get through this one. Yeah, we'll get through this one. Get through this one. It's a year. It's a year, man. It's crazy. Yeah, this beta too.

It's not just multiplayer. They're doing war zone and campaign. So, see, I always, like, wonder whenever they, like, do that. It's like, how much content can you give in the beta to make it so you're not over, like, showing the game? Because, like, there's going to be people that play the beta, and they're like, okay, well, I played God this year, you know? Like, how do you, like, manage that? Because it's like, if they're giving us everything, basically. It's like a movie trailer.

They're giving you all. Why would I go to a movie if I just saw the end? Like look how much they're giving us, bro. It's like they're giving us that kill block, which is their new big thing they've been talking about where the map changes and shit. Yeah. 66, fucking war zone campaign.

Warzone Intel. Wait, I'm just trying to look through this graphic because there's so much. Early access, campaign mission, multiplayer maps, and then the open beta. Oh, I guess, are they not giving us war zone? Yeah, right there. On the open beta is where you see the war zone resurgence map.

I'm just going to go to your crib, take measurements myself of your room, and then we're going to hook it up because we got a bunch of, what do you call these shelves, and we have a bunch of collectibles that we can put on that. Hell yeah. You too? You don't have a wall. I'm working on some. Oh, like a collectible wall?

Yeah. Oh, yeah, I'm always down for that. Cool. All right. So we're going to schedule that. You can. We're about to turn off. Also, I'm going to redo the room needs it.

This entire office is going to be off limits for a minute because we're going to put some paint where there ain't. Really? Yeah. Wow, that'll live in the place. Where? Like what paint? Mostly on the other side. Oh.

Yeah. Here we are. What's the story behind that blob? So up there used to be an IKEA door. Shout out IKEA. If you go to the IKEA in Frisco where these guys had the meetup, you can see yours truly's face in the game room that yours truly helped design. So we had an IKEA shelving unit that was floating at the scuff house in which the big logo was sitting there that says up the gaming logo and it was sitting there the entirety of the time from day one until we left. So it experienced and witnessed.

There's a lot of soul in it. So when I put it up there, the white OG logo sort of when I. against the background so I got back there and I just did a blob G. Well that looks pretty cool. It's like a makeshift stream room. Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty dope. Look at it. How was the meetup? It's in the IKEA? Played like a pro. Wait, oh, that's you right there? Go back.

Wait, they didn't have me up there when you were there? I don't remember that. That's some fucking AI shit. Oh, what the fuck? Yeah, I'm actually... How was the meetup, though? A good turnout, a lot of people? Yeah, no, there's actually a lot of people. You have the meatballs? They have meatballs at IKEA, yeah? What the fuck are you talking about meatballs?

Oh yeah. Is that intentional? That's a selling point of IKEA. Oh, it's like a thing. You had them? Yeah. I thought you were taking a jam out of me for the meatballs again. What about the hot dog?

No. I'm talking to. I'm sensitive. Do they have a hot dog? Yeah. They have pizza too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now we're getting too close to Costco.

Yeah, well, Costco has the best pizza that I've had in a long time. Yeah, I was just talking to his mom about Costco. and I was like, it really is like, you walk into Costco and you're just like, fuck yeah. It rocks. It's like, I'm about to get everything and in bulk. Yeah, it rocks. It fucking rocks. Oreos?

All right. You get like a 20 pack and I'm bitches. Bro, you get a 20 pack? You don't need Oreos literally till next year. This boy loves a good deal. Tell you what. It's not even about the deal. It's just like a haven.

It's like you walk in and you can just get. American consumerism just personified. Bro. Yeah. Oh yeah. You want a monster can this can have it. Dude, it's like, it's like heaven in there. Sam's Club, obviously the same thing as Costco, same thing.

Sam's Club. I've actually never been. Yeah. I've never been there. So it's the same concept. It's a big thing. There's beef there. Yeah.

Oh, okay. So you're talking back when it was actually. Sam's Club been around that long? Oh, yeah. The fuck? Yeah, Sam's, Sam's killing it. That's just not a thing, Kelly. Two, if you attended the golf invitation, yet again, I just saw a graphic.

How was it? Anything you can tell us? Yeah, I'm ND8 out of my butt. I can't really say too much about it. I did attend, which was, you know, in honor. It was 64 of the biggest creators in the golf space. It was a good time. A lot of friends there got to see.

You all sent me some balls, which I absolutely love. Those are fire. Use those, sprayed those everywhere. I did not win the $4 million prize. I'll say that. It was $4 million? $4 million on the line. Was Matt in it?

Oh, you're not allowed to say it was in it? Nade. he was not oh so it was like a vaude not live uh yeah it's all filmed and they take about two and a half three months to edit it and they'll start dropping videos probably the end of october well let's talk about it at the end of october uh dude i it's uh the that sort of like invitational stuff that that uh that golf does they do that very very well uh think about the What's the bar stool one? What's it called?

That's that. Oh, this is that. Oh, Matt hasn't gone to that since last year either, right? Well, there's only been two. So he was there last year. I'm not sure why he wasn't there. Was Matt? Yeah, he was kind of good.

I know out here. It's kind of crazy that it's already happened again. That makes me feel like time is flying. That makes me feel like time's falling. The Molo thing happened last year? The Milosi thing? Yeah. It did.

Yeah. The drama last year. There is some drama this year, too. Any of the good good boys were there? Plenty of them. He's NDA out of the. but than you hear?

Most of the field is public. The field and the location and the fact that it happened is pretty public. You can look that up. Yeah. Talk about EWC. Wshazzi.

Beat you to it. Yo, what did you? Yeah, how was it? It was literally nothing. Like, I'm not even joking.

I was telling him before you guys here, but, bro, we would play at 8 to like 10 p.m. So my sleep schedule all the way to like 7 a.m. Wake up at 3 p.m.

Take the shuttle literally within like the first 20 minutes, take a shower for like five minutes, and then, you know, warm up, scrim, and then it matches, you know, done. And then, you know, right back. Brow. It was literally the worst schedule I've ever been on my life. But it's either that, right?

Or you, you know, sleep at a regular time, wake up at like 10 a.m. And then you wait the entire day until, you know, that's too long. But I did that the first day and I had like no energy. I mean, bra, it's like when you're that tired, You just feel like a zombie. Yeah. I've been tired before.

Fuck. So, yeah. Yeah, that schedule sounds miserable. Bro, people were like, because I was like, whenever y'all beat Faze and Simp was like, we haven't played at this time yet, I was like,

yeah, we beat Faze, like we got our get back. Yes, yes, yes, like we needed to get that. But it's like, y'all are just completely cutting out the human aspect of this. Like, if your phase,

they played like what? They play at like 5 p.m. every day or some shit. And then they played you guys at like 11. And you guys are just like you said, acclimated to play at a, I'm like, bro, y'all really hate these fuckers that y'all can't give them even like a shred of humanity.

Fuck them. It's like, bro, playing that late. That's why I was shocked. I was actually happy that they didn't fuck with like y'all because imagine like you guys, like you said, like you guys are playing at 10, 11 p.m. every night and you're staying up that late getting up. Imagine if you guys had to play it like four one day.

We have. That's been the optic story. That's how it was. So we were doing that the majority. And then on Sunday, bro, on Sunday. Oh my God, we had to get there at 12. So imagine... You were probably fucking...

I slept for one hour. Yeah, you were probably in a different world. But it was a fake sleep. I blinked and then we'll go. That lucid. And yeah, and then we didn't finish until like 11 p.m. That's a gauntlet. And then I didn't go back to the hotel until like 2.30. Yeah, it's a gauntlet.

It was a journey. That shit's hard, bro. Like playing, especially like for a tournament that like they're trying to obviously make it a decent time for N.A viewers to be able to watch it. Like, that's just hard. And it was a whole week too. It's hard playing. Monday. Yeah. Monday and then we left Tuesday. Like I was saying, bro,

like, if I was playing right now, I'd be nothing man up there. I was like, bro. Playing at 11 p.m. in Paris, I'd be nothing man. Dude, I'm telling you the time was not a thing over there. I felt like I was in Vegas. I would be sitting up there just like, oh my God. The weather.

The weather was phenomenal. That's like the one thing that I actually, yeah. The last time we went, the worst shit over. Yeah. And then this time we go, right? Which one? Now we were there. So the first one, yeah.

Yeah. It was hot? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That shit was hot as fun. We were hanging out. And your hotel was actually like. And you do have a bad memory. And you've never smoked.

Maybe. Maybe that will help you. No, actually. I thought we were having a good time. Yeah. Didn't even remember. Didn't even remember. Damn.

I actually do remember. Oh, it was in Paris. You guys were having a blast. Yeah. You were there. I went to Paris. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, he was there, too. You remember, too? I was like, you remember me? That place sucks. I was miserable there, bro. I was actually miserable. I don't believe. Dude, the AC situation, fucking. Well, because I fucked up, though. I got there and slept. And I'm that, so my schedule, I was, like, sleeping during the day the first couple of days. Yeah, instead of at night.

The worst shit ever? Yeah, it was the worst shit. Yeah, that place sucks, but. I fucked up immediately. Wait, GTA at Netflix six hours long on August 27th. What is the what? It's a documentary on making Hmm

Hmm For six hours It's a lot of gameplay That is a lot of gameplay But it is GTA When's it supposed to come out? It's like endless content What's that?

November And that Wasn't it supposed to be last November too? Kind of Yeah I got delayed like So many times Is this gonna take over? Yeah

But apparently It's only gonna be campaign You're going to have to play. Like a whole year or some shit. And then it's going to have multiplayer? I have no idea. Well, yeah, they release, like, typically with GTA, it's they release the console versions.

And then, like, the modded versions have to be on PC because they need the servers and shit. And you need, because, like, the actual modding is a third party most of the time. Yeah, it's not even, like, you have to download, like, a mod, basically. So, I mean, what I'm expecting is, like, the first, like, half a year, maybe year. I don't know how long it's going to be, but it's going to be like just the console version

where it's like campaign, all that shit, and then the servers release, or the online version releases. I can't wait for that. That's just going to be crazy. It is going to be dope. And I can just be making shit up because I don't really play GTA like that, but.

Yeah, I've never played GTA once. Got my whole career. That's pretty bad. What? Yeah, I've never touched it. Well, you would love it. You would love, I could see you doing RP. Literally just get on and troll.

never too late for anything. What's wrong with you, man? What kind of attitude is that? Yeah, it'd be cool if we got like an optic server and everyone played on it. Yeah, that should be lit for sure. Florida man arrested for throwing dog poo at neighbor because it wasn't picked up. Dude, yeah. I get it, man. He throws it in him?

There's a guy on TikTok who like slaps it on the hoods of people's cars. I mean, at least it's a little guy. Like, imagine. Could just be bait? A buzz, a buzz one. That, yeah. He picked up the shit. That's not been that bad.

Bare handed. Well, he probably has the bag, so he uses the bag, and then hits him with it. You know what I would do? Grab gloves and then mold it like Play-Doclay. You got to get it while it's fresh, though. I'll spray it. You got to get it while it's fresh. It can't be that crusty.

And then build a brontosaurus shit. Oh. And then put it on their doorstep. I'd do that too. Light it on fire? No. He called the shit. poop.

I eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast. You eat pieces of shit for breakfast? Wait, you know what that's from? He called the shit poop. Nah. Remind me. Billy Madison? Yeah.

Of course. Bellet. Man fought neighbor. Yeah, dude. Pick up your dog's shit, man. Pick up your dog's shit. Okay, you walk outside and like someone's walking their dog and the dog shit's on your line.

Are you saying something? No, I'll just have. I'll just pick it up myself. Actually? Yeah. What you're saying that? With the fucking bag, I'll grab it and just move on. Second time, though.

I'm going to have to save some. The problem with me is that even if I says, hey, excuse me, do you pick it? I'm just going to seem aggressive. Nah. Nah. The way that you deserve it, no. Bro, it's like common courtesy. If you walk your dog, it's like you fucking pick up their shit.

That's. Okay, so what's the difference? I say, you're going to pick that shit up? Or should I put it in your pocket for you? see you next Tuesday I mean not just be like yo fucking pick up your dog shit

it depends where it's at too if it's like out in public I'm like I don't get it's like in the neighborhood though I'd be like I've stepped on shit before and I vowed to please allow me to witness whoever it was that did it

like if it's in like a park or something yeah something about stepping on dog shit just really air-rise it it makes it more fragrant immediately well yeah it gets squished don't bring it to the house You can't smell it before.

Then you step on it and it's like, wow. You know why, right? Because you're walking and you're leaving a trail of fucking poop smoke. Yeah, it really follows. Well, have you ever fucking, you've seen a dog shit. Yes. It like hardens. Yes.

And whenever you step on it. Cracks open like a lava cake? Yeah, it's fucking disgusting. Chocolate lava cake? It's fucking gross. You grab a frozen chocolate cylinder and then you stuff it in it and so it bakes and it melts. Uh, Bill Gates...

Big dog shit, man. Fuck's wrong. Yeah, what's wrong with you? Or hire somebody to do it. If that's not what you're into. Bill Gates's daughter Phoebe accused of cookie stuffing and could face... What's cookie stuffing? The fuck is cookie stuffing?

Like edibles? Maybe cookies on the internet. Uh, but, but however anything is your local, cookie stuffing with her business. Where does it say what it is? It's a, yeah. Internet cookies.

Business is a digital shopping. System with browser extension of the finance. The best deal with the concerts So what? They're like This has to be like a data thing, right? Yeah. Gotta be.

She had one pixel there that was tracking some shit. Stuff of cookies, man, that bitch. First of all. First of all, she ain't going to do no jail time. Do you call women bitches or hoes? I was watching. I was watching, what's his name? Caleb?

Well, so what even happened, though? Nothing's going to happen. She ain't going nowhere. She's a billion. What was, like, the situation? The situation, she had a pixel on her website that used to suck up all of your information, and then she would just use it. She would probably sell it to, like, advertisers on emails.

And this is a Gates lady? Yeah, the, Phoebe, the daughter. How greedy are you? as if you're not stop working why are you working go do drugs off the coach yeah

go to drugs go do orgies and do overdose stop cookie stuffing yeah you settle down cookie stuffing so I should like when I go on a website I should put reject all

they're like double thickness, bro. Yeah, I can feel that shit. Look, billionaires, I was going to say, billionaires don't go to jail, but definitely not this lady. Yeah, she's not going anywhere. No. Fuck her.

Well, that's why. She's so greedy. Bill Gates's his daughter. Why are you working? Still trying to get ahead. Why are you working? How is it for yourself? I mean, I guess I respect it, but fuck you too.

I respected it until the cookie stuffing. Now I can't. I can't respect that. Once you start stuffing cookies, you lose my respect. I've always said that. You've lost my respect for your stuffing. How much is he, is his family net worth? Enough.

But what is it? Like, how many bills? Enough to never, his family will never have to work again. Dude, it's just $106 billion. and she's fucking stuffing cookies. His family, his... He's stated that his three children will inherit less than 1% of this massive fortune. Okay.

What is 1% of 106 billion? 1.65 billion. What is that? 10 billion. Oh, wait, no. Wait, no, that ain't right. That's 10%. Wait, that's 10%.

Give me a real number. Yeah, yeah. It'd be 1.06 billion. A real number? Number? 1% of that is still a bill. That sucks. So much money.

1%? Yeah. Yeah. There it is. 1 billion, 60 million. See, I had that shit to the fucking $1. That's still a billion. I'm a fucking cal.

That is mind boggling. I'm a fucking calc. T-I-80. I'm having trouble wanting to work now. Brother, if I had a billion dollars. Go get to work. I'm vaccines. I'm kidding.

Cut that. If I had a billion, let me tell you want that. I'd have every skin and every game imaginable. Is it be gaming still? Absolutely. You want to play games? Absolutely. Play games right now.

I'm no good. Okay. I'll be like you go golfing? Yeah. Exactly. You got to get into Tarky, bro. Yeah. Same thing.

If I had too much money, I'd be dead. Bro, have you ever played Tarky? I would be dead. Really? I don't know if you'd like it or not. It's like super hardcore, but it's like. Is it like Daisy kind of? You won't like it.

You're too fast. You brain needs dope. Daisy's more survival. It's a very slow game. Hold on. Tarky is very slow. You can play it slow, but there's people that like run it down. There are people that run it down?

No. Most of the time, yeah. I mean, you kind of have to. There you go. You'll be fine. Like to get certain quests done and shit, you literally have to like go to the contested areas. Because like it's a big map, but all of the good loot is in like certain like

POIs basically. So like if you want the good loot, like there's always going to be someone there. and you have to fight. But if you want to play like a rat and play the edges, you can, but I don't play like that. Trying to get that ammo, bro. Like right now, there's a map called Reserve,

and it's like probably one of those sweatiest maps in the game, and there's three huge buildings, and they're like stacked with loot. So you have to go to them. So it's like the hot drop, hot spot? Yeah. Reserve. So the map, like, forces you to fight.

If you want good shit. I have a question about this new Chinese bullet train that shatters the world record by going five, 400, 497 miles per hour and 5.3 seconds. What does that mean exactly? It's like a roller coaster. Yeah, but where are people

sitting? And are they like this the whole time? No, it's very chill on the inside. Because of the centrifugal force? They just do it right. The initial jolt has to have to fuck somebody on. It's not ready. What? It's not ready, mate. It's not ready for passengers for fucking obvious reasons. They have bullet trains already. They much should be slower.

I want to see how fast this she goes. Wait, so how fast can you go to like I don't even fucking know Fast. Damn. That's not, they're not, he's not even going yet.

I mean, that's essentially like, think of, that's like a plane, like 500 miles per hour. It's like a plane at cruising speed. Yeah, but you're attached to something.

Can you look up how long it would take to go from Dallas to Austin at 500 blah miles an hour? Just curious. I mean, if you're going like what,

60, it's like three and a half? Yeah, we actually don't have anything. Three and a half hours? I know. I don't know how we don't have a system that goes from San Antonio, Houston, in Dallas, Austin connecting all of it.

It will. It's ridiculous. It costs a lot of money. Yeah, but like. You think so? Yeah, I'm sorry it talks about it. What? 22 minutes.

Holy fuck. You'd be here in 22 minutes. Wow. And I'd be on time. Wait, what? 22 minutes. That's crazy. God, that's awesome.

That would be great. But yeah, think about how much money that would cost though. To like lay, because they probably have to do it underground. They have to make it expensive to like keep most people out. It would be reserved for the higher-ups. The upper-class. The upper-class. The top of the system.

It'd probably be pretty expensive. No, I don't think so. Oh, how many, they wouldn't have enough train. Imagine how many flights are going. They wouldn't have enough trains and track. That's fair. Like when it first starts. It would be pumping trains.

Yeah. That's fair. I don't know how that works. Yeah. It's supply demand. It's like, how much do people want to get there this quick? If it's sold out, all right, price goes up. That jacuzzi inside of that train.

going 500 miles an hour. What do you think that happens to that water when we press the fucking brakes? Someone pulls the lever you just

you literally go zero G and you're just floating for a second? I don't think you can. I don't think you can. I don't think you can.

I bet you there's no way for you to pull the break the emergency break. Hell no on that. Imagine going 500 to zero and four seconds. Yeah. Got to be some tech

in there that like I don't know. Look at that. It's adding a supreme class. As if first class wasn't enough. Now it's the Supreme. You can fuck in there and they don't care. Definitely don't.

How fast does a plane go? Like 550 at cruising? Really? 600, yeah. You got that Intel? Yeah, sometimes everything, right? No, I don't. That's very fast. Jesus. Well, it also, like, when you're on a plane, like, if you're going overseas, it literally will show it. Like, we're going 552 right now. I never go on that screen. I do see people. I'm very observant. I stay off that screen. Well, on the way to Paris the first time, I'm not recording? TV. What were we going to say?

But bro, on the way to Paris, my TV was broken, and I switched seats with the lady in front of me, because Mark was sitting behind me, and her sister was where I sat then. My TV didn't work, and I'm sitting there behind her the whole time as she's watching movies like this, you fuck her. You knew it the whole time.

That sucks. The Wi-Fi didn't work on either of those planes. But I had my iPad, so I sat there for, like the first two hours just, just, what do they call it? Dry humping. Yeah, like, raw dogging. Raw dogging. Yeah, raw dogging.

Yeah, raw dogging. Yeah, raw dogging. Have you ever had a weird plane experience or no? Yeah. Really? Yeah, me and him, where are we going? Detroit, Niagara Falls, UMG. UMG, Niagara.

A lady was having a, like, serious health scare on the flight, and we went from cruising altitude to the ground, like, less than five. five minutes. It was insane. You looked out the window? It felt like you could feel the nose like going straight down. It was insane. Like this. It was insane. And then like as we were going there were already ambulances, fire trucks like as

we were coming in, I mean it was fucking nuts. Live? Yeah, I think so. That's good. How do you know? Because we would have heard if she didn't, I'm sure. Through like the news or something? Like if she didn't live, that would have 100% been on the news. We reached a cruising altitude and that lady is dead. She did not make it. What if we're like your destination in two hours? What if we're going

like this, and she's like, never mind. We'll take her when we land. No, no way. No way. Because, bro, I remember we got to go along with it. They're like, she's already dead. We just got to keep going down. I remember it was like a smaller plane.

There wasn't like first class or anything, but we were still at the front of the plane. We were in like the first couple seats and they literally carried her like to the front of the plane and they were like trying to resuscitate her at the front. That's spooky town. Yeah, it was fucked up. I was on a smaller plane recently. And I'm a window guy. So the guy was in the aisle seat.

It was two seats a row. And he was a normal looking dude. And I go, I'm over there. And he goes, oh, thank God you're not fat. And I said, you're fucking welcome. My pleasure. He said that? Yeah, he said, I'm so glad you're not fat.

That's great. He must have been getting some bad draws. Bad draws for that guy for him. And there was a kind of huskier lady who laughed at it. And we were both like, what are you laughing at? You're the issue. It's about you. You're a big woman.

So, yeah. I'm a window guy also. And one person says, hey, lady, do you mind if I get the window? I'm like, do you go to the bathroom during flights? Sometimes. I always say that to people. Like, if I'm a window, I always let them know, like, just letting you know if you're asleep, am I good to wake you up?

Because I'm going to pee. Then let's switch seats. What do you, lady? I'll hold my piss for six hours. Yeah, same. I'd rather piss myself and wake someone else. 100%. I don't recline on planes, dude.

You wouldn't even switch the seats? You know how bad? Like, whenever you got to pee really bad and like your bottom of your stomach starts cramping? Yeah. That's happened to me before. And I'm not going to sit there and like grow up. No. You need to go up.

Or switch seats. I feel like growing up is letting them know beforehand like, yo, I'm going to have to piss. Respect that. Public service. So if you're asleep, can I wake you up? And they're always like, yeah. And then the time comes, I'm like. Public service announcements.

If you are a person that has to go to the bathroom during flights, you don't get the window seat. We don't always get the aisle seat. We don't always get to pick our seats. Touch. we don't always get to pick our seats I do I mean sometimes you get the shit and you're like

I've never gotten the shit I pick my own seats me everybody gets their also I always pick my seats movies okay big dogs

don't go to the movies if you have to go to the bathroom not only you're running for yourself but you're running for the people I agree to shh mm-hmm don't even get me started on carry-ons The theater rooms

Oh not theater rooms Yeah like theaters Oh yeah speaking of movies I finally watched a couple that I've wanted to watch. Which was? Which was? I watched it. Liked it.

It was different than what. The shit was lackluster. Well, I liked it, but it was a lot different than what I thought it was going to be. Yeah. Like, I thought it was going to be way more like, like action. Like, it's a Spielberg movie. I'm expecting like action. I forgot.

I watched that. But there was action, but it was like not about. Disclosure, it is about aliens. It's about aliens. Yeah. So basically. I wouldn't recommend it personally. I think it's worth a lot.

watch. I think it's a skip. Like real. Really? I think it's a skip. It's so neutral that like you can skip it and feel nothing and watch. I can't tell you what had the plot of the movie. I think it's worth a watch. I completely forgot I watched it until he said it and I still don't remember anything about it. But the premise is like so. What is it based off like real shit or no? No. You know it's fucked up about it within the first minute I knew that I wasn't going to like it because it was like an intro to a Marvel movie. Like it had to do-d-d-d-d-d-d- Yeah. The music in the movie was really trolly. Yeah. Is was like, why is, like, even is, because she wasn't really watching it, she was like, why is the, like, music like that? Yeah. And I was like, bad. She literally asked if it was a comedy because of the music. Yeah.

The music was bad. But it's like, so, so it's about aliens, but it's more so about, like, so this guy, this is no spoilers. He gets. Boyle. Well, it, no. Save people time. I'm going to tell you the plot real quick. No spoiler.

This is a summary. So he gets, like, a bunch of files that are about aliens and they're the ones that decide are, are, we going to release this to the public and they're like running away from the government. Who doesn't want it? Who doesn't want them to leak it? But they're a news outlet so they're like, should we leak it? But it's like it's different though I thought was going to be. I'm thinking like War of the Worlds disclosure day. I'm thinking like. Scary. I'm thinking like the aliens are here. Or the world's fucked. That movie was so good. And then I also watch backrooms. That show was terrible. Yeah, that one was. That was terrible. I mean, I liked it just because I

love like the idea of the backrooms like I think it's a really cool idea but the actual movie's execution was kind of weird I was I was I was claustrophic the entire time and then I wasn't and then I was just like what the fuck in my watching the ending I had to look up like the meaning of it like I hate when I have to do that like I didn't understand like it just ends and I'm like that's it watch ten it seven times probably every time on a flight and I still don't that movie pisses me off because it makes me feel so stupid every time yeah like I don't And it's impossible to understand. Walk me through how this ends, please.

I don't need fucking, it just cuts to black and you're like. What is the sopranos? I literally did this. Huh? Like, it's over? Which one? Because I fell asleep the first time I was watching it. It is watched it.

And she literally told me she's like, yeah, the ending of it was kind of weird. And I was like, okay, don't say anything. With the backrooms. Yeah, yeah. And I watched it. And I was like, what the fuck? Are you going to watch it? I've already watched it.

This shit is terrible. I'm about to say a spoiler right now. This is your 10 second fucking warning, okay? I'm about to say it. I stopped watching it, 7 seconds. I stopped watching it, 10 seconds. I stopped watching it when they started eating people. Oh, yeah, that's like the last 30 minutes.

I was just like, I'm fucking gone. It lost me. Fuck out of you. Yeah, it looks like like really kind of good sticky rice. Yes, yes indeed. It's like pulling the shit off the guy and it looks like, literally looks like rice, bro. Yeah, I think that was literally the worst movie.

ever seen my life. I wouldn't say that. Yeah, probably not. I still fuck. I mean, I'm an easy entertained. I watch Spider-Man. Oh, the movies? Yeah.

Fire. Okay, I can't wait to see it. What I will say is like if I, like, if there's a movie that I said, I'm never going to watch it again, oh, that I have never watched it again, is like the clearest indicator whether or not a movie was good. Because there's been movies that I've watched literally the day after. That's fair. Again.

Like Odyssey, I still haven't seen that. Absolutely. Odyssey's unfortunately so good. Okay, we're going. Unfortunately, so. Yeah, Zini got his tickets, yeah, yeah. Because I hate when... Zini got us tickets for, I think, a month away still.

Oh. Jesus, why a month? How long are you in town for? About four hours. Fuck. Are you, when do you leave? Who else from the team is here? We got to go to Aloyo.

What's that? It's this fucking, like, high-end Mexican spot that's apparently fucking insane. I'm down, I'm down, I'm down. What's up? Aloyo. Stay for dinner. Wait, what are you talking about? Oloyo, it's a restaurant, like, Hosepho was saying that it beats all the Michelin stars in Mexico.

What? It's here? Yeah. Beets all the Michelin's? Dude, I just love being here and like randomly, like, like, just hear that there's some new heat and you're like, fuck yes. We got to go. It's literally that popping. All right.

I'm going to do a big dinner. We should do a day. Yeah, we should go, we should go like get an earlier dinner and then go to the movie after. Yo, I would, I'm down. That'd be fire, right? Fuck yeah. If we can get tickets, though, I don't know if they're still like... It's thinning out.

Odyssey is apparently the best movie that's ever been made in the history of movies. I mean, yeah, like, how long can a movie be sold out like that? Yeah, you're good now. It's really good. It's like the first couple weeks. And I went into it trying to nitpick it. And like, because I hate when people gas up something so like one-sidedly, so I was like, all right, fuck this movie. I walked out of it and I was like, fuck.

I usually find that the crowd is really fucking good. Usually people are right. Like when they're gassing something, like if there's enough people gassing it, they're usually right. Yeah, but I'm happy to be the guy on the other side telling them they're wrong. Yeah, but you're doing it. But I was indeed wronged this time. It was a strong movie. Like you're looking to.

I was looking for flaws. Be like you guys are all. For two and a half hours, I was looking for ways. What did you think of sinners? I haven't seen sinners. I hated it. I don't like it either. I thought it was too Disney.

But people were like raving about it. Yeah, everybody, I mean, I know why everybody was raving about it, politics and shit. but I'll tell you one thing I thought it was too Disney The second they had a fucking musical Outside of the barn Like motherfuckers are about to be Dead because we're sucking their fucking blood

And we're out here Ling Ling Ling Ling Ling Ling Ling Ling Leigh Let's the fuck out of here But see like that I went in Kill me man Just fucking

Kill me in real life I don't want fucking see that shit It's a little extreme Okay cut that But no you could keep that in Okay keep it in But not like see I go into a movie like that And I'm like yo

But I already had made the like connection of Dawn Dead by Dawn or whatever the vampire movie so I'm expecting like a gritty fucking vampire movie and then it's like like you said

yeah I'll never watch that shit again but yeah backrooms I would watch it if you like the back rooms I'd watch it wasn't great I'll never watch it again Disclosure Day I enjoyed it but it wasn't what I was expecting

and that's all I got Ladies and gentlemen that's gonna do it for this Oh, yes. Awesome. The second to last episode, awesome. Really? The second to last episode?

See? Like, wait, time out. You didn't like you when he said, Behold me now. Yes, that part was fire. That part specifically was fire. But usually. It did it for me the whole season.

Usually, at least nowadays, I feel like the episode before the finale is usually the banger. Yeah, always. And then the finale is like the tying of strings. Yeah. But that one like, I was expecting more, dude. It was so good.

I was expecting Vagar to finally show herself. Where is she coming from? That fucking beautiful beast. Beautiful piece. God, I would be, if I had a dragon that big, oh my God, it'd be bad. Didn't handle it.

You're not a dragon rider, dude. I wouldn't be. Look at your hair. They would have set me ablaze. Be scooping shit in the town. Big shits. Large shits. We're talking about dog shits.

You get a Vagar. You get a fucking Henry or a Wilson. My God. Don't compare to Vagar You seen Vagar? Yes Big big girl Where are their shits

Big supple girl Where are they? Yeah Exactly They literally have to landfill them They're like cats You would think that a shit that big Would just like

Demolish King's Landing Just with this fucking scent Literally if they shit It'd be like a A weapon Yeah I don't know Ancient Dragon like Vagar

House of the Dragon Of several hundred pounds roughly five to eight feet wide weighing several hundred pounds of shit assuming reptile likes scaling. Dude, if they shit from a couple hundred feet up that could be a fucking meteor. Take out the dinosaurs type shit.

While they're flying? Yeah, they go high enough up. That's true, that's true. You drop a needle from how high up the force on that bitch. It'll go through the entire planet. Exactly. If it doesn't, what, a needle?

You never heard of that theorem? I don't think that's true. Bring it up. No, it is. a needle going through the entire planet if you drop it from high enough up? No, no, it's a needle, like, no, if it's traveling at the speed of light,

I think, if a regular needle were dropped from the throne of earth, it would not go through Earth right to friction. Yeah, but if it was traveling at the speed of light. Well, that's entirely different. Well, that's what we were talking about. I don't think it gets a certain point of speed. Anything you drop from a certain height,

it doesn't get any faster. It reaches terminal velocity. An object of mass cannot reach the speed of light. We know that. You know that dip shit? I mean, this one. We're cool with all AIs except this one. I'm glad we figured it out, though.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was worried. I'm going to drop a needle later today. I don't want to get him. Well, one, obviously, the metal of the needle would have to be something that can sustain high temperatures because once it hits the core of the earth, it'll melt. Theoretically speaking. Maybe tungsten.

Yeah, tungsten would be nice. It'd be tungsten. Chance. Perhaps. Chants. Ladies and gentlemen, that is going to do it for this episode of the Optic Podcast. We hope that you guys enjoy. the ramblings of madmen.

We'll see you guys next week. Bye, not late. Peace out.
