Starting point is 00:00:00 Yeah, what do you guys think about it? Because obviously, we're, like, competing in it. So for us, it's more like a competitive fun. It doesn't care. Every year, it's the same shit. This one is different, though. You have to admit. This one does look different.
Starting point is 00:00:11 I think I've heard that exactly. I think I've heard that exactly for literally 10 years straight. What is up, everybody? Welcome to another episode of the Optic Podcast, episode 179. And let's go ahead and get the cat out of the fucking bad. Actually before we do that we got the all-star squad This is the if you're wondering why it's just us today. It's because we politely turned down the request to go to Mexico Yeah
Starting point is 00:00:47 To scump hit me up and I was like no I don't want to do that He was like bro do you want to you want to be my bachelor party and I was like nah I gotta hang out with shots see I like I would So he has a bachelor party in Mexico? Yeah He didn't tell y'all either that Oh, see, that's why I'm here hanging out with you.
Starting point is 00:01:08 Oh, he didn't ask you this. Nah. I mean, I wasn't expecting him to ask. Yeah, what are you expecting? What even is a bachelor party? It's when you take all your groomsmen and you all go party. Wait, what's considered like a gurusman, though? Like the dudes that stand next to you at your wedding.
Starting point is 00:01:28 How many people? Is it only limited? No, so basically you can do however many you want. I was a groomsman for Blake's wedding. So Blake had a best man and then like five groomsmen. So there were six of us. So you could have 20 if you actually wanted to? Yeah, but no one really does that. But like a lot of the times,
Starting point is 00:01:44 a lot of the times it's weird because you got to like kind of balance it. So if your, if your girl has like nine friends, then you got to find nine dudes. Oh, yeah. You know what I mean? Because you want nine guys next to you and nine girls. Are you all salty or not? No, I'm only, I'm only, I'm not salty at all.
Starting point is 00:02:02 Yeah, no, definitely. What were you going to say? I'm only a little salty because the only thing I want to do is go to Mexico with the boys. It's the only thing I want to do. And it's like, and I didn't even, I didn't even like hear about this. Nor like did I expect an invite to his bachelor party. But it's just like, like if they were to, if they were going to like Vegas or something, I'd be like, I don't give a fuck.
Starting point is 00:02:30 I want to go. Like, I wouldn't go on anyway. But since. That's what my bachelor party is going to be. I'll be there But like Mexico It's just I don't know
Starting point is 00:02:43 bro, it just sounds so fun So that's why I'm a little salty But I'm not salty Like you kind of get over there It's all right man It's such much Let it out No I do wish
Starting point is 00:02:55 That I went to That's the only thing I ever want to do Is like get everyone in Optic together Go to Mexico You know what fuck it We'll just go with that set. Imagine we just go today. And we see him there.
Starting point is 00:03:08 We're like, dude, you're here? What? Hacks like DM me earlier. And he was like, yo, what did he fucking say? He said something about coming. Yo, hop on a flight and come here. I'm like, shut the fuck out. It would be fun, though.
Starting point is 00:03:21 What I've heard is that. I definitely have FOMO. What I've heard is that Seth didn't invite more people to his bachelor party because he was already. Cool. No, he was like, already he feels bad about how as he should be the person to invite people and like having to cut it's like that might be eight yeah yeah you obviously you probably obviously want to like he's he went with his best friends like i i get oh yeah i was i like he's going what some so like
Starting point is 00:03:49 my bachelor party i'm not going to just like have groomsmen there my groomsman there i heard that's what it's that's the point of it yeah he's like it's like it's just supposed to be you and your groomsman but like i'm going to have a relatively small wedding i'm assuming so like i'm just just going to invite all my closest guy. Because I have a decent amount of, like, close guy friends, so I'm just going to invite everybody. Yeah, but what do you
Starting point is 00:04:14 say? He said, um... Oh, he feels bad because of the destination. I think Hacks made this up for him. You think, oh, which is God dear friend, if he did. What do you say? He said that Seth feels bad because of the destination wedding. Yeah. That everybody has to pay to go out there. Wherever going to his wedding is already
Starting point is 00:04:30 expensive. Oh, y'all can't go, can you? I'm going. I'm going. Are you? I did ask you. Yeah, Damon's going to play for me the one match. Dude, you had me. I was like, what the fuck? I actually, I actually forgot.
Starting point is 00:04:43 When is it? I mean, it's a couple months, a couple weeks away. Oh, yeah. Soon enough. No, no, no. I don't know what's announced and what's not. I don't know what, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, the destination's not even announced.
Starting point is 00:04:59 Yeah, you can't say like where we're going. But it's just, it's going to be expensive. Because I still haven't got my fucking shit. Yeah, you need to hear. As, how much do, like, does a suit and shit cost? Like, if you want to get it properly done? Like, a suit tailored and all that. Is it expensive?
Starting point is 00:05:12 I'm going to figure that out then. It depends. I've never, like, I've never bought a little. You can get, like, a good suit for, like, a couple hundred bucks? But I feel like you can, like... But you can also get, like, a suit for $30,000. Don't they, like, you just rent suits? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:26 Oh, yeah. Like, you can just, like, rent a suit for probably, like, a couple hundred. I rented one for, like, the ESports Awards. Oh, we didn't. We did rent that shit. That was the formal. Palms are overrated as fuck I'm going on. Formal.
Starting point is 00:05:41 Oh. Yeah, God, dude. I create, have you guys ever seen that clip of me? I accepted a, it was that the ESports Awards in, like, 2017? Fucked up. And I had to accept an award for formal because, of course, he doesn't want to go. Because he's just like me. He, like, I have this fear of just, like, public speaking.
Starting point is 00:06:03 Like, I can't fucking. do it. And like Formal doesn't like that shit either. Like I know he doesn't like interviews. He doesn't like it. Like he's never shown up to an award show. So, Hex flies me and hitch out with him and I think Optic got an award. Did you get
Starting point is 00:06:17 win an award? Yeah, that was my first award. But like, I'm figuring I'm just going for vibes. And then as we're sitting at the table and like final, Hex is like, yo, you're going to accept Forma's award. I'm like, what the fuck? And this is at the time. He starts pounding drinks. This is at the time I'm
Starting point is 00:06:33 This is at the time I'm taking Zanz and shit So it's like I didn't take some Zans But I probably took like a Zan I started drinking like I just got so I just had to like And it's crazy because like no one gives a fuck I'm accepting an award for someone else It's not like I did no
Starting point is 00:06:53 Don't actually play this This like I didn't see it bro I didn't see it play like I genuinely like don't want to be would you play. I'm not. I'm drunk as fuck.
Starting point is 00:07:07 Bro, I haven't... ...dewan minutes ago, I've been informed that we're accepting this for Matthew Piper. One of the greatest teammates that I've had in... Dude, I was so nervous, but I also... Alright, we get the point. We get the point. He looked like out of a movie, bro. I swear to God.
Starting point is 00:07:40 More than form of himself. See, like, this makes me even more. See, now I'm like, see, I fucking knew I hated it. Like, I can't do it. No, that was even bad. It was a... It wasn't as bad. It was just funny because of what you're telling us.
Starting point is 00:07:56 Like, the context of it makes it funny. Well, I mean, I don't know. I was just... It just... No one gives a fuck. And it's just like I'm accepting an award for someone else. It's not like I did some like amazing thing. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:09 Like, give like some warm heartfelt speech or something. Like I could literally just say, you know, I think you got so much. Formal's the man. He loves you all. It's funny. You accepted them for, uh, uh, for, I think Formals won two Eastports awards. You accepted the first one.
Starting point is 00:08:24 I accepted the second one. Oh, you accepted the second? Yeah. And I just go up there and they ask me to accept it too. I was like, I'm not going back there. Not again. But that's an anomaly situation Except an award for someone else
Starting point is 00:08:35 You know how fucking random that is? Yeah That happened so much At the East sports awards though Yeah so much Well we're fucking NERG gamers No one wants to go up there
Starting point is 00:08:43 In front of like hundreds of people there And then like thousands watching I think a bye It was super nerve around I think Abai has won like nine E sports awards And he's never been there Who is?
Starting point is 00:08:53 A Bai The guy from Spain You know who that is? He like he runs the Kings League He's like one of the biggest streamers in the world this guy he's he's from Spain

Starting point is 00:09:29 well I mean he's just just like a good content creator but yeah so after after that speech though I blacked out and found hitching my room at like 2 a.m. checking on me it's a good time for more good time
Starting point is 00:09:44 that shit yeah that's that's yeah that's she who is fuck why were we talking about that I can't remember what what are you talking about that oh like renting a suit renting a suit that's what that's what it was you said you rented one for prom oh yeah that shit was fucking uh I'm pretty sure I rented one I almost remember
Starting point is 00:10:01 because I'm pretty sure, like, buying it was just way too expensive. It was, like, 300 or some shit. So I was like, yeah, let me just rent this shit. That shit was oversized, I remember. Really? It's like, remember, didn't Seth have some big-ass suit at, um. The first E-sports awards? Because he didn't, he didn't, like, get it.
Starting point is 00:10:17 I don't know what the hell he did. He just go there and, like, buy one right off the shelf, like, didn't get it fitted or anything. It just had some big-ass suit on accepting some award. Driving a Ford Fusion, big-ass suit, multi-millionaire. Multi-millionaire. Dude, I don't make sense. I kind of like, I kind of like rocking a jacket whenever I can. No, but in Australia, like, horse racing is big.
Starting point is 00:10:38 Like, when I used to get, when I go there with my friends, we all wear suits and shit. Really? Yeah, bro. Wait for what? Horse racing. Oh, horse racing? Everyone dresses up, like, you know, like the Melbourne Cup? You guys ever heard about that shit?
Starting point is 00:10:49 No. Kentucky Derby. It's like basically similar to that shit. But, like, in Australia, in Australia, horse racing is insane. Huh? Yeah, just dressed up? Yeah, everyone wears a suit there. It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:10:57 Even all the girls wear, like, proper fancy shit. I'm, I'm about. I'm about to get into horse racing and like racing, not like gambling, but like raising. My girl's dad raises the horses and like there's there's so, yeah, they're like, they're like, they try to get like the elite genetics. They can, they'll sell them for like over a million dollars. Really? Like, that's great. That's a little. Bro, horses are so much money. Like she can put in like 510K for like a baby. And then once it gets older and they like raise it right the sell for like 50 60k even like more than that
Starting point is 00:11:36 You know why horse racing is big like let's just say there's a horse and it's winning every race and if that horse Like that horse that that that horse that that is offspring. Yeah offspring whatever whatever whatever they call it is so like the value of that That's how I got my dog is great his his his yeah Greyhound racing his his dad one like races and shit his dad His dad won like it was like the most successful Greyhound at that casino in Australia. What in Australia? Yeah, yeah, yeah. What track?
Starting point is 00:12:07 I know every track. I have no fucking cruel. That's insane. What's the dog's name? What was the son Zambora Pete? Zambora breed. Is your dog a Zambora? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:19 Dude, that is crazy. Yeah, that was his racing name. Yeah, yeah. Wow, I'm actually fucking mind-blown. So his dad won like... Oh, yeah. Zamboa breeds are like fucking insane. Dang, there's rocket.
Starting point is 00:12:32 He won over like 600K in like racing. So then they studded him out and I mean. Bro, there's a dog called Zambora Tiger and that thing is a fucking rocket. Really? That's actually crazy. You bought a breed. Wow. Which how did you even get that?
Starting point is 00:12:50 There's a place around here in DFW called Galt, GALT and it's a greyhound like rescue. And they just bus in or they send in greyhounds. from Ireland and Australia because that's where Yeah, that's where they are. That's where all the Greyhound racing racers are. They're so fucking crazy in that too.
Starting point is 00:13:10 That's great. Like once you start, you can just like, like, say Seth right now. Seth could just fucking quadruple his money just by like getting into horse racing and just like starting to buy horses,
Starting point is 00:13:24 get insurance on them, raise them and then sell them. If he bought a wink street, if you have money to like buy these certain breeds. I didn't even know that she was like... If Sef bore... And then just make sure you raise them without them, like, getting...
Starting point is 00:13:36 I didn't know, like, that show was actually big. Bro, it's huge. If Seth bought a winks, like, horse breed, I... I feel like you should get in that. Bro, I've looked into it, bro. Those white people sports? Golf and cricket, horse racing.
Starting point is 00:13:48 Cash. Like, cash. It's just... You got to get insurance on it. Because, like, horses get bit by spiders or some shit, like... Oh, really? Like, in Australia, there's, like, a horse that was, like, supposed to win, like, a massive tournament.
Starting point is 00:13:59 Of course. And it got bit by a spider and they're, like, it basically that to put it down because the horse was going to die. What? But I'm not much money of those people put into that horse. You know what I'm saying? Like training the horse itself. And then like it breaks its leg or some shit happens.
Starting point is 00:14:12 Which is why like it's such a fucking super risky business, dude. Yeah, it is risky. Me and my girl on like the, she was asking me if I wouldn't get involved. I'm like, fuck. Yeah. No, it's fine though. And then make 50 grand and like within a year. Within a year.
Starting point is 00:14:27 It's actually really good investment. If the horse is like properly breeded. and trained and shit. Yeah, her dad, like, raises them all. Oh, Zamora. Yeah, Fernando. Dude, Tommy Shelby, you know that's my favorite dog. He's worth 14 million? The dog is worth 14 million?
Starting point is 00:14:42 He's in Perth. He fucking never lost. Are these dogs happy? Fuck, no. Is it fucked up? Yes. Yes. There's a trainer called Mark Faruga. There's a trainer called Mark Faruga in, um, in Australia. And like, it was like a fucking big thing. It was like, apparently he was like fucking,
Starting point is 00:14:59 I remember exactly what it was, bro. Maybe it wasn't him. But I don't know if it was him. It was like a greyhound that, like, a trainer that kept his dogs, like, didn't feed them. Didn't, like, just put him in, like, in a, like, a dark room. So when they would run, like, they would be, like, fucking petrified and, like, they would sprint after the food. Because, like, they put, like, a little rabbit. And that's what the dog chase.
Starting point is 00:15:17 So, like, the dogs that he would have, like, what a fucking same. Yeah, you can't be running on a full stomach. Yeah. Mace has, like, a spot on his side. And it can't grow hair. And I was asked, I was asking the vet. And she was like, that's most likely because greyhounds can't, they can't sit. They have to lay down like on their side because it's just how their like butts are.
Starting point is 00:15:39 And it's probably from like no padding or anything and just like concrete floors and him laying on that spot on his body for like his whole life. And I was like, damn. Like yeah, it's definitely fucked. I'm sure they. I'm surprised like mystery. People have been outraged about it. Oh, I think they have. There's no more.
Starting point is 00:15:57 There's no more tracks in America. Oh, really? Yeah, there used to be tracks in like Florida and like the south, like especially like... For dogs? Yeah, for Greyhound racing. Is it different for horses then? Like I guess horses are... I think horses are treated better.
Starting point is 00:16:10 Treated way better. I mean, that's what I assume. I don't know. Horses are definitely traded better. You're just making millions off these fucking dogs. You're keeping in a dark room barely feeding them so they just go fast. I bet you these guys find the stud and then just throw females at them. and have like
Starting point is 00:16:30 probably like a hundred dogs and then you try to find the fastest out of them and then I bet you a lot of these people just get rid of the other ones like like a way like they try to find the fastest
Starting point is 00:16:43 of the puppies of no I'm gonna say like get rid of them out just sell them or sell them or sell them or worse sell them to hedge best no no because the dogs that
Starting point is 00:16:54 the dogs that are here are dogs that raced made it through racing and retired. So that's a minuscule amount of the amount of dogs that are born into it. So there's probably some
Starting point is 00:17:06 fucked up shit they have in. When they talk about these fucking dogs like holy fuck like remember whenever that guy did that shit or not the guy but like the dog
Starting point is 00:17:14 Go on YouTube right now top up good one. Like some legendary moments. Yeah like there has to like I'll show you insane and I was on this dog this is why I remember like when Jordan hit the free throw
Starting point is 00:17:25 there's like some some shit like that word sea biscuit Yeah, is there any like game winner? No, YouTube, typing good and then J-U-A-N. And then Greyhound. Good-Gy-U-A-N and then Greyhound Race and then it's the greatest, yeah. What is this highlight?
Starting point is 00:17:41 I don't even know, I've never even... Top 10, Greyhound moments of 2020. Damn, you know, this is, this just super popular in Australia? I've been at this track, I've watched this live. You've watched this live? Not this race, but I've been at this place live. Sydney's where I live. Okay, watch this.
Starting point is 00:17:57 I'm pretty, if this is the one, Look how fucking fast they are. Listen, who do you think is going to win the race right now? Where is he? Not even in the picture. That's how fucking dog shit he is, right? Look at him. Number eight.
Starting point is 00:18:07 Yeah. Watch him, watch what he. I swear. This is Tommy Shelby? The Rockets in last place. No, it's a good one. Yeah, the rocket. Look, the race is almost done.
Starting point is 00:18:16 There's maybe, I don't know, 80 feet left or some shit. 80 meters, whatever the fuck you guys call it. Look at this. Do you think he's going to win from here? They're on the straight right now. Look at him. Oh, shit. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:18:28 Oh my God. Oh my God. That thing is what? I bet people in the stands are going crazy. That thing was paying at that time five to one. So like you put five X your money, whatever, like to win the race. Yeah. Like he was like, that was like, bro, in Australia that was like fucking LeBron James and one dog.
Starting point is 00:18:44 Like you're sitting there with like five million on this dog, but you only win one million. No, you make five million. No, you put one million and you win five. Yeah, you put one for that dog. It's a five X, that for that specific dog in that race. But did he? So was he even looked at as someone who could win? He was like top three favorite.
Starting point is 00:19:02 He was like top three. It was like two other dogs that should have won before. How the fuck did he do this? He just turned the jet song. How does he know to turn the jet song? He doesn't. That's what I'm saying. Look at that.
Starting point is 00:19:11 Look at that. Do you know how quick that is, bro? My God's like a cheetah. Jesus. Dude. That dog looks like Mace too. The crowd. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:19:20 That's what I'm saying. But that, that fucking dog could be honestly a Zambore breed. Damn, I need more highlight reels. I need more highlight reels. Like, is there. Is there like a Jordan? So you were on that one or there? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:32 Is there a LeBron of dog racing? I don't know. Or it's just like, fuck. This guy like, it's just batter. That's crazy. That's crazy. This one, this was actually insane in Australia when this dog did that.

Starting point is 00:22:59 I must do jockeys away. 900 to 1200 pounds. Imagine being 100 pounds. 110 to 115 pounds are jockey. Imagine being like 120 pounds and then like that just trampling on you. That's why it's a dangerous. It's also a dangerous, bro. But sometimes the horse can just lose control and just fucking, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:23:18 It's an animal. Yeah, Crim Six fucking doing his racing shit. That's crazy. Crim Six and him going, I would not want to race against Crim Six because he will.
Starting point is 00:23:32 And I don't want to even say the word but like he will die for that W. And I don't want to because like genuinely there's like genuine danger in this shit. Yeah. But like Crim is the type of dude that like I wonder if he has like beef in that type of shit. I saw a quote by like some racer
Starting point is 00:23:49 and they were like what he got asked like how did you how did you have the courage to overtake whatever at the last part and he said it's because I knew the racer that I was racing against has a wife and kid at home and I don't
Starting point is 00:24:04 dude shit goes that's fucking insane so I knew he would let up but I won't that's an insane line and I was like what though imagine thinking that in the split second so when did that I don't know I saw it on like TikTok
Starting point is 00:24:18 or something but I was like that shit goes hard I don't understand all racers do do that. Because like you know they're overtaking you and it's like I can stop this but this motherfucker is just we're both going to wipe out. Is it the motherfucker's basically saying we're both wiping out or I'm winning.
Starting point is 00:24:34 That's how people drive on the toilet. There's rules though. There's rules there's rules. There's rules. Now there's rules we have to give like a certain amount of space. Like if that person wins that space like in F1 if they take like this space you have to give them the space if that makes sense.
Starting point is 00:24:50 Actually not. Yeah. You all ever seen that clip of the NASCAR guy that just said fuck it and rode the wall? No. Wait, what? I think I did. Can you load that up? Let me see this shit. So this guy is just like, he's just like an average driver. I mean, he's a NASCAR driver, so he's
Starting point is 00:25:05 godlike. I thought that was a movie. No, but he's just like, he's sitting there driving and he just says, fuck it. Rides the wall and comes in and overtakes like four people. Like doesn't slow down for the turn. Like rides the wall. It is fucking crazy. Look at this shit.
Starting point is 00:25:20 I need to see this. Look at that. Look at that. Look how fast he's going. What the fuck? He overtook like five cars. Is this last lap? Yeah, he's fucking wheels and shit would be getting fucking destroyed. That's insane.
Starting point is 00:25:34 What the fuck? They, after this, they banned this. So you can't do it anymore. Do you hate it? And I guess this was the last turn. He just said, fuck it. What the fuck it? What's the size behind that?
Starting point is 00:25:52 Take a look of what he is. And then he just passed like fucking eight cars. Just passed so many cars. Just went from like... Bro, that could have been... It could have been so bad. You could have fucking flipped 20 times. Look at that in real time.
Starting point is 00:26:07 Dude, he's going like 200 miles an hour. And they're all like, yeah. Fuck yeah. Yeah. Get them, buddy. Was that like the ending? Yeah, that was the finish. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:26:21 So he just said, fuck it and just went. Imagine like, you gotta get top eight to qualify for champs. And like... You're in fucking 12. You're in 12th and just fool this off. Wait, wait, what's bigger by the other way? NASCAR, F1. F1.
Starting point is 00:26:37 What's the biggest, like, racing thing? F1. F1. I would assume. I don't really know. I'm from the South, so like, everyone watch NASCAR. It's weird how they become such, what's the word? I just feel like no one, has F1 always been, it's like a newer thing that people have just made a big deal.
Starting point is 00:26:58 It's been around forever. I mean, I know it's been around, but it's because, I can't think of the word. but it's like become a it's just become a cool thing to fuck with holy shit 70 million 70 million for F1 and NASCAR averages 3 million
Starting point is 00:27:13 like it's become like a whole culture Wow 70 like girls want to go I'm telling you I think a rich dude everyone gets a boat and just sits on the fucking thing It's just like a very like rich people thing It's such a rich people thing And like I think did a
Starting point is 00:27:29 I don't know what the popularity I want to know what the popularity was before and after Drive to Survive came out. I feel like that's when it. Yeah. When was that out? Like COVID, right? Like 2019? I never watched any of that stuff.
Starting point is 00:27:43 I don't think I watched it. You haven't watched it? It's like a Netflix series where they... Oh, wait, no, no. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's pretty damn good. It's like when like Seth streaming or on the watch party or something, it would be like, yo, Lando and the...
Starting point is 00:27:59 Sorry. Hang in. We're like, yo, Lando in the chat And everyone's like, yo, what's up, Landy, know, the race and I'm like, I haven't seen any. I literally don't think I've watched the race.
Starting point is 00:28:08 But Lando won a race we do. But I feel like I'm missing out. Didn't Lando win one? Yeah, he won recently. I think it was an audio I come around where race it was. I haven't watched any. I don't know what they think about
Starting point is 00:28:17 like the, like, just actual roads. Like, whenever they're driving their shit, like, do you think they like, so bull? Look at it so differently? Yeah, they're like, wow. Oh, yeah, yeah. Have you ever?
Starting point is 00:28:26 Nick and I have talked about this before, so. but have you ever heard of the man t-tie island man t-tie? Oh what is that? Dude, it's a, it's an island, Matt's gonna look it up, it's an island where they allow a street,
Starting point is 00:28:39 street racing for motorcycles and like by the government for one race a year and it's on average one person dies every year. Damn. They're going, dog, watch how fast these motherfuckers are going. Is this it?
Starting point is 00:28:55 Can you look like a drive-by? like a you on me like these are just regular roads but they like obviously they clear it out so other cars and shit oh yeah like regular these are just regular roads that motherfuckers drive on and these dudes are going 200
Starting point is 00:29:11 look at that that's fucking insane can you look up one that's like a I think they're called flybyes it's like am it like just people on the side of the road rather than super produced because in the productions it doesn't seem like
Starting point is 00:29:25 look how fast they're going I'm like, gopros. Oh, yeah, these, these. Meow. Yeah. Dude. People are just... Bro.
Starting point is 00:29:37 On the side of... God. It's like a jet plane. If you hit a pebble, I watched an interview with one guy, and he said... He said the worst you want to be is in... is the first person to go
Starting point is 00:29:50 because the birds haven't cleared out yet. Oh. So you're going like 100 or 250 miles. miles an hour or however fast they're going. That's fucking insane. And like the closest people are sitting. Oh yeah. So do people not wanna be in...
Starting point is 00:30:05 Look at this guy. Oh my girl. He wants to ride on. Look at him. You got me fucked as if it would be like a troll. Like, I swear that someone would troll and like put the hand out like, oh, like, like, like... Oh yeah. Yeah, like some like some crazy people.
Starting point is 00:30:19 I would not trust that. You would be put in jail. Oh, for sure. That's attempted murder. So you tell me this is an island? Yeah, it's on an island. It's the man. I think it's the Is the Isle of Man.
Starting point is 00:30:29 the Isle of Man or something and then the race is the TT race. I forgot what TT stands for, but I mean, people that, like, if you interview these guys, they're all crazy. They're all insane.
Starting point is 00:30:42 Yeah. Because like if they, this is like the peak adrenaline they'll get. Like, they'll race this, they'll race this race every year until they can't race it anymore or they die. Like,
Starting point is 00:30:53 those are the two reasons. Like they're all freaks. Like Halo 30. I don't, I don't think it's... I don't think it's... Once you take 300 MGs by Halo 3, I... The rest of your life is just like this is all there is the life.
Starting point is 00:31:09 It's fucking insane. Yeah, but that's kind of how I felt watching drive to survive is like... Whenever... Because I never really understood the appeal of F1, but then you see like the aerial shots of them going through like Paris and shit. And they're like... They look like pod racing, dude. They're just fucking fast. Like the left and right is and they're so low to the ground like they're literally like on the on the road
Starting point is 00:31:33 Yeah, dude's just scary bro fuck that you got me fucked though That scares the fuck at me bro when I'm in a car if someone even if I'm in on the road and someone's just driving fast I'm like I get so paranoid actually in Texas that's what I'm saying I get so anxious bro in the tollway today I was getting passed I was in the middle lane which I'm usually in the left lane but I was in the middle lane getting like fucking zoom in Texas people I was like do I'm like going like people looking at you yeah In fact people are flying yeah I'm just like am I going six see, I looked down, I was going 801. And they're flying past me.
Starting point is 00:32:03 Texas is crazy. Coming from Australia, that's the biggest, one of the biggest differences is that shit. Because in Australia, there's like red light cameras, speed cameras everywhere. You lose your license. You get fine. Here, I don't see any of that shit anyway. Do you guys even have speed cameras? We did in Chicago.
Starting point is 00:32:18 I don't know. In Texas, there isn't. I did in Maryland. Yeah. Over here there isn't. Because holy... Speed cameras? What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:32:23 Like, they have cameras and there'll be a sign. It'll be like speed camera like in this area. And then like so people know like in Australia, okay, the speed camera, what's the limit? Okay, 100, I can't go over this. 100. But we go kilometers. Like I've gotten a ticket from a speed camera before. Going like 40 and a 20.
Starting point is 00:32:39 Yeah, you're just getting mailed a ticket. Yeah, 150 bucks or something. It was banned. They banned. It's not legal in Texas. Damn. Well, no fucking wonder everyone's flying. Speeding cams aren't legal.
Starting point is 00:32:53 In Australia, when I'm driving, like, let's just say I'm going to the airport and like, I don't know what 100. Can you type? I don't know what 100 kilometers is in a miles.

No, what's 100, like, 100 kilometers is like our, like, limit. 120 is the max you can go to Australia. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:34:01 No, that's not even 120. I'm guessing. 110. In Australia, the max you can go is 110. Okay, so like 65, probably. Yeah, 68. That's like the max you can go. Maybe a little bit more.
Starting point is 00:34:10 I'll just say 70 miles is the max you can go. That's like, you're at the max. Yeah, yeah, basically. And if you go anything over that and like, like, there's just cops just sitting on the side of the road. And the second they see you, they have, like, they're holding the cameras in the car. Second they see you go by, boom, do you have a ticket? Huh? No, fuck, no.
Starting point is 00:34:26 I have like an app on my phone. It just tells me if they're like nearby. So then everyone in Australia speeds and the second they see like that, they're slowly down for the next 10 minutes. And then they start going again. But like over here, fuck me. Over here, the cops are passing you. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:40 Like casually driving. Everyone drives with their phone. In Australia, if you drive with your phone, you get fucking. The cop drives by and sees you on your phone, they're pulling you over. And here, everyone's on their phone. I'm like, holy fuck, do you? I'm not. I was used.
Starting point is 00:34:52 I mean, it's not good to talk about, but like in Chicago, like I would check my phone or not like text while driving, but like if I felt a buzz, I'd do a quick one of these. I can't, I do not do that in Texas. Yeah. Fuck that. I remember when we would blog sometimes if like I'm in the passenger and you're driving or something and you like look down like the comments, be like, yo, here, seriously, bro, stop looking at your phone. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it would be. Whatever I, uh, which is, which is good, which is good. good.
Starting point is 00:35:20 It is a good thing. But in Chicago or in Texas, you don't even fuck it. Dude, like, I think it's like the, like out of the five most dangerous roads highways in America,
Starting point is 00:35:30 like four of them are in Dallas. Like, not Texas. Like, I think maybe three of them. Three of them are in Dallas and one of them's in Houston. In Dallas, it's actually a video game.
Starting point is 00:35:42 It's ego maniac. No, bro, it has someone, right? The speed limit is 75. Like, this guy,
Starting point is 00:35:46 like, I passed it because I had to get in the left lane because the fucking, the axle lane was to the left and the truck behind me fucking cut me or like he passed around me cut me and was fucking break checking my shit what the fuck I was like dude
Starting point is 00:35:59 what the fuck is right they are like think about how many idiots there are around here and just the fact that you're alongside of them driving I have a new like how many dumb tweets you see yeah right look at that Dallas Houston Dallas Dallas Dallas Dallas
Starting point is 00:36:13 Dallas Houston Dallas I told you Dallas Miami's I told you Dallas Miami and Houston own the top 10. I don't know the names. I actually saw that in TikTok too.
Starting point is 00:36:26 Like what are we driving on? Are we driving on those? 35 East? I don't know. I don't know what the toy is. All I know is, dude, the drive to Arlington, like when we had the tournament, like when I drove from here to Arlington,
Starting point is 00:36:38 holy fuck, I was pissing my pants every time. Really? Oh, bro. It's so like the open. And you got past six flags. And you get to one of those, you get to one. of those underpasses. The first time I came to Texas, I was like, what? It's like four
Starting point is 00:36:54 stories high of just like over, of like turnpikes and underpasses. You're going under them. You're like, what the fuck? I was in Dante's Corvette driving fucking to major three to Arlington. I've never in my life fucking thought I was going to die. I swear to God. He's just flying cars are flying. I'm like, holy. What's the toll? What's the to what's the to way that? It's not, I don't know any of the fucking. I forget I was talking to, but they were like, yeah, I had home at about Dallas 6, 35. But they do it all the time. I do it.
Starting point is 00:37:27 They do that. I drive this shit. Yeah, I drive it every day. I don't know. I don't care which way I'm going. I'm on the tollway. That's what I'm saying. I don't even know like my nearby street.
Starting point is 00:37:37 And like, I put in like, I was, I was picking up a U-Haul and I was driving with Jukin and he got, like, mad that I used the GPS. I was like, all right, I'm going to put in the U-Haul. And he was like, don't. I've lived here my whole life. Like, shot. Okay, Dukin. Okay, Dukin.
Starting point is 00:37:57 Black off six announcement. Have you all talked about it yet? I have on stream. I know you're creaming yourself. Omnibuement, that's just gonna be fun as fuck. What I'm actually interested about, like, because obviously, like, whenever you,
Starting point is 00:38:12 obviously whenever you, uh, obviously whenever you sprint forward, right? Like, you got your tax print, right? But obviously you, like, we're doing the click it. I'm pretty sure, like, it'll, The clip with the blue The four
Starting point is 00:38:22 I just want to see Because like What I'm curious about Is that whenever you go to like The left or right How do you get your full sprint That's insane That there is
Starting point is 00:38:31 Like do you double click to the left Instead of just going forward And then left You know what I'm saying? Yeah You double click to the left That's what it's gonna be Yeah so basically how you sprint forward
Starting point is 00:38:38 It's how you sprint to the left So like you just click to the right Click bottom How do you know that then? Because it showed the When they were doing it He showed the stick Can you like clicking?
Starting point is 00:38:46 Yeah he showed the controller No But that was just the regular sprint Can you can you tack sprint left and right yeah yeah you can you can yeah I'm pretty sure right like straight thing left right like look at that shit like he's not clicking it in he's just like that's just regular sprint though yeah I don't think you can tax sprint dude if you I mean how would you even be able to tax print backwards that's insane that's insane like that would
Starting point is 00:39:08 be I don't actually just about watching that actually I mean I don't know because he's just he's only a single sprint that's that's like the the jog sprint yeah like the regular yeah I really wonder if the shit I actually like via your maintain like... Nah, you could, no way. I think you could, no way.
Starting point is 00:39:25 This is what I find insane. That is crazy. This is insane. I'm gonna abuse the fuck man. This, what I've always wanted in the game is literally to where you could dive and shit at the same time.
Starting point is 00:39:35 I know it's like so unrealistic but I've always wanted that in the... I just wonder what the pull-up time's gonna be, you know? Like, if like as you're diving, if it's gonna be an instant shoot or it's gonna be like a del animation
Starting point is 00:39:44 or if you dive, is there gonna be like recoil or... Bro, look that. That's what is fucking insane. That's a lot of you guys. Do you all like Triart games? Like y'all too? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:39:54 Cold War was mid as fuck. I don't know. I like Blackupsville. Fun wise, listen. Competitive wise, it was Godlike. Yes, because the maps were like good. We had Ray, Terminal, fucking Garrison. Terminal.
Starting point is 00:40:05 Checkmate. Terminal? Yeah, well, S&D. Express, wasn't it? Or, yeah, Express. Holy fuck. Yeah, we all we had all those good maps and, like, competitively is fun because, because like, everything made sense.
Starting point is 00:40:16 But, like, from, like, a fun standpoint, like, bro, there was league play and it wasn't really like a ranking system. There was no ranking system. And like, yeah, if you actually played pubs, I don't know. I didn't really enjoy it. I could be faded, but it was very stale in my opinion.
Starting point is 00:40:28 It was very stale. No ranking systems insane. No, there was a ranked play, and if you played it, you got your rank, and then you couldn't progress. That was your rank. And then in order to progress,
Starting point is 00:40:42 you'd have to win a certain number of games in that slot of time, which is like two weeks. And then after, that two weeks you could break up. It was, it gave you like a set time of like grind these next two weeks and then we'll see where you're...
Starting point is 00:40:56 I don't even know. That's the best way to put it. It was style. What game was that? Cold War. It was a super. I barely played to be honest. I'm pretty sure actually
Starting point is 00:41:03 you probably... That's why I got kind of like cooked for it, but I was saying that this game that we have right now as far as like overall game and experience is probably like the best we've had. Oh, for sure. In the CDL era. Or CDL.
Starting point is 00:41:17 In the CDL era at least. I feel like, W if it was on PC would have been got like 100% If we played on awesome Yeah there was no, there was no More for like war zone like just like Playing that like in general Just like hopping on and just having fun
Starting point is 00:41:31 Cause I don't know cold war bro that shit was fucking That show was boring I just I only had fun playing AIDS Aids streaming that was the only time I had fun The Vanguard was lit Dangar? I liked it I like the gun play Your game yeah Yeah, yeah
Starting point is 00:41:43 You're a bias That's like Kenny saying World War II was awesome Yeah actually I forgot about that No, like the gunplay of the game. No, Vanguard. What would you? Vanguard of this year. Like, like, fun-wise.
Starting point is 00:41:55 Fun-wise. Actually, bro, that was your rookie year, dude. That's what I'm saying. But I'm not even talking about, like, what I did and how good it was. But I'm talking about the actual gunplay on the game. All right. I feel like like gunplay. I think about like Scrum.
Starting point is 00:42:05 I feel like the maps were better on that game than away on this game. You guys are both arguing your rookie years. You're arguing M.W. He's arguing. I'm arguing. I'm not even talking about, I'm just talking about the actual gunplay and the maps. I will agree. The maps were definitely better.
Starting point is 00:42:18 The maps this year, the DLCs, the Rio Vista, 6th, I saved this game. If we were playing fucking Invasion Heartpoint, Skidra Heartpoint, we would have been like, brother, we would have been retired waiting for this game to come out. I would have been at the Bachelor Party right now. If the fucking Invasion Heartpoint and Skiddra Heart Point. Yeah, I'd probably still be here. Wait, no, I do have a question, Fred. How did you get so good and go pro living in Australia?
Starting point is 00:42:46 Yeah. Bro, that's actually, people like, with that ping, how did you play? I didn't play against, I only played against Australian people, so I never played against,
Starting point is 00:42:54 like, on a shit ping, like, I never played against Americans. Oh, really? Yeah, but honestly,
Starting point is 00:42:58 like, bro, if there was, like, a statistic of, like, all of Cod Pro, every Cod Pro's hours
Starting point is 00:43:03 played, compared to mine, I reckon mine would be significantly less. Like, so, like, let's say,
Starting point is 00:43:09 you're just, I would probably have, like, 15, or, actually play Halo, and it's probably not the best
Starting point is 00:43:14 explanation. Let's just say someone that's played cod their whole life. I don't know. Let's just say, for example, I don't know. Let's just say Seth, whatever. Like, let's just say Seth, like, didn't retire, still played. Like, he's, even though Steph's played, like, let's say I started in whenever Seth started, he's played like at least 25 million more hours than me, bro. I'm not even trying. Like, I've played in Australia, bro, we have, like, cod is like our third job. What was the, what was, like, the tournaments for you to, like, not take it that. I couldn't keep up with any of. No, but like, um, honestly, we just have Cups and shit. We just played on the weekends.
Starting point is 00:43:46 And then how did you transfer into Where Matters? I had like one international land where I came and played. There was like in Mdub 2019. When was it? It was the Minnesota. Yeah, because like I just heard of say this. Because like, nah, he's script.
Starting point is 00:44:03 Apparently he's screwed our team and I don't even fucking remember. Oh yeah. I screamed Damon too. I basically went. I basically what happened was I played in Australia against a bunch of shit stains my whole life. I played only called. I feel like it's just so hard. break out of that. I played two hours, three hours a day, and then I played a tournament on the weekend.
Starting point is 00:44:17 We'd win every fucking time because everyone was dog shit. And then I went to one international land, came fifth, was playing really good, scrimmed against some pro team, slammed them. And then, you know, I had an agent at the time, and he just got me into a team, basically. Yeah, just basically the people. What was your first good team, I guess? The only team I've ever been on in Seattle besides this team. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:44:37 And like, yeah. But you know what? The reason that also picked me up is because my stats were, like, obviously super fluctuated because I was playing against Australians. So everyone, it was all Challenger players And then my stats in every category Were fucking insane Like I looked like I was playing pubs
Starting point is 00:44:49 I had like a 1. Something crazy Six or some shit Overall My kills per minute were like insane So like wait The land in Minnesota So wait You what was the challengers?
Starting point is 00:45:00 Yeah Oh it was a challenge's land And I came fifth I forgot what that fucking We lost Yeah we just lost every S&D Your team was trash No my team was on bad
Starting point is 00:45:07 I played a fighter and shit You know Fighter stocks I feel like you're I don't think I'm The Australians. Yeah, fire of shocks and shit. Yeah, I played a...
Starting point is 00:45:15 The old, like, mind freak guys, right? Yeah, I played them. I just feel like it's hard to fucking break out of that. I'm the only one that's ever like... Swipe for... Well, I mean, there's been pros, but they only stayed for like a year and then... Yeah, there's... Australia was weird because, like, every two years an Australian team would pop up.
Starting point is 00:45:30 And they just like upset an English, like a... Like a low-tier American team and just like, who the fuck is... What was it? T1 Daughters? Like, who's a fourth a chance? Who is that? Who is that? When?
Starting point is 00:45:42 When? Ghost. Ghost. They just, it was an Australian team came in and placed top eight at chance. They came forth. They lost a, they lost in eight, like, seven that. They got fourth? Yeah, they came fourth. I didn't even know that. They lost a set for that to come pop three. They nezloed everyone. Nezloed everyone. Everyone. It was fucking, because back then Australia was Godlike Ns and D. Games two, three and five. You win games two, three and five. So they lost every domination, won every blitz and S&D. No, they were godlike Ns and crazy. Yeah. I remember, I remember the castors
Starting point is 00:46:13 freaking out about it. Because Australia like originated from fives, S&D. Like we didn't start with fours like re-sporting
Starting point is 00:46:17 we started with five's S&D. I don't know if this is pro mod. Pro mod. Yeah. That's how like that's what Australia
Starting point is 00:46:23 was originated from. And then the it's then it's to fours because everyone else started playing it. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:29 But yeah. Making it from Australia's crazy because fucking not many people like even right now but like do you even know anyone like
Starting point is 00:46:35 that's actually like pretty good at in Australia? There's good but like there was someone better than him. Nah, bro.
Starting point is 00:46:41 Were you number one in Australia by far? By far. You didn't have like, you didn't have like a duo that was like on the come up? No, there's no one near. Did you even have a duo? I mean, I'm like, this is my boy. I'm a ride with you. I had a, I had a duo like, like, I mean, I wouldn't even say it to do it.
Starting point is 00:46:58 Like, there's someone that you play with. Somebody was too shit for you to even want to call him. There's an Australian guy with his heart broken right now. Honestly, in Mdub, in Mdub, there's a guy that was playing with called Crimza. He was actually fucking pretty good. I feel like he still plays. He still does play, yeah. His name's Crimza and Luca and like Shocks, fighter.
Starting point is 00:47:16 But, like, I mean, I would call it. Like, I wouldn't say that my duo, but like, because, like, I don't know. I just, I was 10 times better than everyone in Australia. Did you ever go to, like, land and shit? Or, like, I mean, maybe I'm just too old. Like, you ever go to your boy's house and, like, set up your computers or whatever?
Starting point is 00:47:34 Before I went to. Or am I just too old? No, no, no. I never did that? No. I only, I only been to one ever land before. That is fucking crazy. I only two lanes, sorry.
Starting point is 00:47:43 I went to one landing blockers four, I won it. And I was like just 17 or something shit, just turned 18, sorry. And then I went to the Minnesota land, which was like the, my, I only went to one local land and then went to an international land and then became pro. So was, was it weird when you, when you came over and people started like shooting back? No, because people weren't shooting back. In Vanguard? And they still are. That's what I was most surprised about.
Starting point is 00:48:06 That's what I was most surprised about because I was like, wow, like, this is the league, like, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's be. league like let's let's lock in I was playing bocage running around like holy fuck these guys are actually dog shit I didn't I thought like when I thought when I came me like because other Australians like shocks in there like yeah these got are so weird like they never miss a
Starting point is 00:48:22 they're like they never miss the timing like the way they talked about you guys like when I was coming when I was about a play I was like holy fuck yeah I'm better get shit on some shit because like the way they were talking was like they don't miss the timing there's no gaps they didn't miss a shot they're all fucking they're all crap
Starting point is 00:48:38 not a good way to that's a good mindset to have your mindset is a good mindset to have coming into this shit yeah no i was definitely like wait a second these motherfuckers are still trash yeah but um yeah crazy transition yeah yeah definitely excited for blog off six show oh yeah that's gonna show what do you think about it yeah what do you guys think about it because obviously we're like competing in it so for us it's more like competitive fun yeah it doesn't care every year it's the same shit this one is different though this one is does look different i i think i've heard that That exact I've heard that
Starting point is 00:49:11 exactly for literally 10 years street. This does look different in Black Ops
Starting point is 00:49:17 has always been my favorite call of duties so I've hope. It'll be fun. As long as they come out,
Starting point is 00:49:23 they do it right in the beginning, the rank play comes out and it'll be good. I've always preferred Infinity Ward games.
Starting point is 00:49:29 Yeah, you give me so much Infinity like vibes. Like IW? Is that this? What's the last
Starting point is 00:49:33 a ward or two? That's like Modo Moro MoMA 2, Motor 4, Moe, fucking Monorfer 19 The one that
Starting point is 00:49:41 It's funny because like I've always liked Those more Yeah Because black up Blackup series is like more cartoony Not in like a bad way But like they're more like Trowly
Starting point is 00:49:53 I know you're talking about Yeah yeah yeah And I feel like the connect The hit rag is just better on IW games I feel like that's just how I like an infinite Infinity Ward games But that being said The last Infinity Ward game was my least favorite cod
Starting point is 00:50:06 Ever released Which one? What one of them? last year's model for two oh that game that game was dog shit was a piece of trash i actually didn't he knows that was i w macaline yeah that was infinity war so tST give up on this one uh there's well gb's died oh yeah so gb's died no one's playing xps i don't care man you ain't got it worse than a though i got on twitch on hailer the other day i saw like 2303 33 people watching Halo Infinite.
Starting point is 00:50:39 I was like... Wow. That's insane. They were waiting for their savior, man. They have like 1.3 million followers on Halo, but like 200 people watching. I'll be honest, bro. Like, I've never played Halo,
Starting point is 00:50:53 and like everyone told me there was like glory days of Halo, but when I've fucking loaded onto that game, that game feels like shit. Yeah, it does feel like shit. You're playing on 4.4 cents. Fucking picking guns off the floor. That game is fucking awful. Shotsie, fucking...
Starting point is 00:51:06 Shotsie flying in the... guns off the floor. This guy fucking trick shot at me. I didn't even know the fuck happened. This game, that'll be out of the end. That is, that is... That's not... Halo 2, Halo 3, Nick, you could fucking...
Starting point is 00:51:19 That's what I'm saying. I don't know the glory days. Like, I only played... I've never played Halo and I just jumped on this one. Play a game like Call of Duty and how smooth it feels. How me that shit was an addictive. Bro, even Seth does the shit. Like, that shit was so addictive.
Starting point is 00:51:30 Oh, without Halo, like, without Halo, console, e-sports doesn't exist. You know it used to be at MLG event. It used to be Halo. Then there'd be Gears of War and Call of Duty on the side. So like Scump and N-Chad are just watching the main stage. Like MLG was made off of HALO. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:51:48 Like the guys who ran MLG. I don't know how that even happened. How do they drop off like that crazy? You wait. I mean, it started with Halo 4 just suck. So Bungie, Bungie used to make Halo games and then they just pulled up. They gave it to 3-4-3.
Starting point is 00:52:02 Then Bungy started making Destiny and they gave HAL. You think it's Scump in Nachau was in Halo and they're fucking. Godlike like how they were and how the their personalities do you think it would have blown up as much as God did or no It needed somebody because well yeah. We didn't have shit because that because after like Walshi and everybody like stop Stop being like the faces like there wasn't that like second wave. There was like a gap and then there was ninja after that Dude, dude, dude, imagine his scum went to Halo and didn't like YouTube shit. I think I think it would have been way bigger and HALO and Halo the bigger names really because that was HALA 4 No, no, no, I'm saying from Halo 2 Oh, he started in Halo 4?
Starting point is 00:52:39 No, like, the years that The year that Seth and Nate blew up Was the Halo 4 year. Where? Black Ux 2. How old was Seth when the Halo 2 came out? Like, a child? Oh, what the fuck? Yeah, he was like, 10?
Starting point is 00:52:53 I mean, he still could have, Seth's what, like 29? 20, yeah, 28, I think. So he, I mean, he could have played Halo 3. Like, he's as old as, like, snake bite. Yeah, yeah. So he still could have. Would a Seth and Nate shot if they were in Halo if they made I just don't know if Halo has had like content like that
Starting point is 00:53:12 Cod just like in Cod just the pub stomping and sniping Yeah actually that was just the greatest content ever and Halo never really had that besides a montage which would take six months to make Yeah, halo montage was just like shit though and all and all just go 89 and I post it on to YouTube and just get it 100 million I actually watched like is like I watched one of those videos just so funny because like like Like, I think it would, didn't he edit himself? Edit. I'm almost, he would hit record and he would hit stop record and upload it. No, no fucking intro or anything.
Starting point is 00:53:45 Nah, he was talking about something, dude. He was like, yeah, man, like, I've been looking at your comments. I've seen, like, you know, trying to get things better. It's actually just crazy looking back at that shit, like to know. It's crazy looking back. This is how crazy Call of Duty is. You look back at 2000, I don't know when it came out, 2008 when Hex's montage came out.
Starting point is 00:54:03 That shit has like $6 million. views. That's crazy. That's crazy. That's crazy. No offense, but the fact that that has six million views. That one's different because, but that's just like call of duty content in general. And call of duty is a game everyone. Like when I grew up, my friends played call duty and everyone sort dabbled into Halo 2803, but call duty is just the game. Well, you know how hex got that six million, right? He bought the game. He bought the game. He bought the game. early from like a mom and pop shop they had already opened the servers
Starting point is 00:54:38 and so he recorded for two days and just and send it to an editor got it back and released that montage before the game came out what who's he playing against? What? Who's he playing against? They had already opened the servers so like
Starting point is 00:54:53 so anyone that other other freaks that figured out how to get it also also got the game early so hex like people were watching hex's montage because it was the first time sniping was like good again since like cod four I mean kind of and so people really wanted to know what the sniping
Starting point is 00:55:11 was like and sniping was like blowing up so Hex's montage just fucking I mean he has the only the game ain't even come out yet the motherfuckers drop in the small he's a small man that's been He's a mindset since the beginning he's always a step ahead making something I don't know but like
Starting point is 00:55:26 what's crazier than that in my opinion is Seth in Black Cops 2 was posting like twice a day like a live commentary so he would play and talk. Did you get money back then? Yes. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They probably, you probably got more. I bet you you got more.
Starting point is 00:55:43 Oh, did that. Because they weren't thinking like all these people are going to like realize how much money they can make. It was just like, yeah, here's some I bet you. In 208, now they got to fucking regulate it to make sure they get some of it. Yeah, yeah. Or they get most of it. So like, Seth was uploading raw commentaries and they were getting like 300,000 views the video like 300k for for just playing talking outro twice a day 300k boom and if you go back and if you go back and look at set's views from that year it is and nades as well it is great it is crazy everyone was watching more views made really they got big time it's hard to need i mean
Starting point is 00:56:29 nade was good he fucking won it was like seven events i i saw step like and nade of the same time when they're doing the prestige master race. Really? That's when I, that's when I was. Wait, they were both going against C-TOPH. No, because my story is doing, no,
Starting point is 00:56:40 no, no, master race in league play. Yeah, they would play with each other. Road to Mastard. Yeah, yeah. And Nate was getting shit on one time, dude, I remember all those fucking rude. It was, it was, I mean,
Starting point is 00:56:50 I'll always remember that year. It's crazy to think. That year blew. That's what got me into Codden. Blue up, yeah. I watched them both. It's crazy to think Nate was getting more views than Seth. I thought it was the way around.
Starting point is 00:57:03 Well, it makes sense. just because like, I mean, Seth was competing as well, right? Or no. So was Matt. They were both competing. They were on the same team. It's hard to believe Nade was the face over Seth. But then I've seen Nade's return to a stream.
Starting point is 00:57:16 And I saw him get up to like 15,000 subs. Like it's like first month. And I was like, damn. I was like, but it's probably going to like slow down. Like, you know, everyone's type Nades. But it does not slow down. And every time I tune into Nade stream, like that motherfucker knows how to entertain. He's been on a show.
Starting point is 00:57:30 And he does it for eight. He has been on a run, man. An hour he is grinding. He does it right. Professional yapper. Yeah, he yapsed. Like, I didn't know Nate back in the day. And I he's good at that shit, bro.
Starting point is 00:57:41 So it's, like, hard for me to believe, like, damn, he was, he was bigger than Seth. But, like, now it's, like, you can kind of, it's, like, he's, this motherfucker still has it. My schedule back then, because I was, like, a fan back then, my schedule was, like, watch Nate's video, then watch Seth's video. Same. And then, like, go about my day. Like, that was what I did.
Starting point is 00:58:00 I'd wake up before school, watch both their videos. If I didn't have to, if I woke up a bit later, I'd come like to school, make sure I finish the videos. Get to school, get home, grind to it more. Yeah. Mine the fuck out of that. Blackups too. Like, I joined Optic. I don't think I watched any vid.
Starting point is 00:58:16 I should, I only remember starting watching them in AW. That's when, like, I started watching them. Really? Yeah, I can't remember, like, what the fuck I even watch? I'm sure I watched their streams and all, like, the tournaments and stuff. No, the juice back then was crazy. That's why you see people that used to be on Optic, like, I mean, like, like, like, like, fucking J-CAP proofie
Starting point is 00:58:35 Killa they all have like 400,000 followers on Twitter And it's just like When you joined back then It was like 80,000 followers like that In a day Like that I caught like the tail end of it
Starting point is 00:58:48 Like when I When I joined in 2015 Which was like kind of like Getting towards the tail end of like When that could happen I still got like 10K followers in one day Yeah When I joined Optic
Starting point is 00:59:00 I made an Instagram And within like a year year probably got to like 85 90k. Now I'm at like 95k. Oh yeah. Like it's like It slows down so much. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:17 But like I joined and like got that. I missed the where I got a little Twitter juice. But like I missed the whole like 2013. Like Enbo streaming on MLG TV days and the the J-Caps and the. And also I. wasn't in the call of duty community so that didn't really help but like fuck i wish i was man i wish i was that is crazy uh where we at matt and it was dead all the time oh he's he's fucking with the cam the cams fucked up um we talk about let's end it on the druskey's
Starting point is 00:59:57 i'm down unless you're gonna say let's talk about the youtube thing and then call it the youtube paul bradley martin or wait no no no you don't want to talk about what's above the YouTube thing? It just says Optic Lose to Rocker. Now wait, you guys didn't see like the slap? Like Bradley Martin did the streamer? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:23 We talked about it yesterday. We can watch it again. We can watch it again. What are y' all thoughts on this? I feel like I know Pred's thoughts. On what? Did AG? We'll play the video. The slap? Yeah. Of Renato taking off. What your actual
Starting point is 01:00:37 Bradley Martin said? The thing is, I don't know how, like, what to, like, think about it, to be honest. I really don't. I think it's just the fact that he's standing back, like, not... Wow! Just, like, not giving it back, like... Nah, he's being, he's trying to piss him off, bro.
Starting point is 01:00:55 And, like, you know he's balding. Like, you don't take off a grown man's hat. Nah, yeah. Honestly, dude, I... I saw Bose send that to Zinney. You know what's so funny, bro? Take off my hat This is what I happen
Starting point is 01:01:08 My cousin Like used to wear a hat all the time as well And like whenever I take his hat troll He gets so fucking angry Yeah Because they just don't like Obviously like they don't like their hair Or some shit so
Starting point is 01:01:19 But Renato he's gonna go He got slow lap What's your opinion on that Do you think it's justified? The slap Honestly I don't know It's tough because like
Starting point is 01:01:31 He's a kid bro as well You know Look at literally he is It's different It's different with the two grown men. If a grown man did that to him, someone his size did that to him, then it's just... I mean, I think that's a perfect little, like...
Starting point is 01:01:45 Yeah. It wasn't like he punched him. No, he didn't like do some crazy. It was like a little fucking give it back. It was definitely like a, hey, don't do this again. Not only to me, but to anyone. The only thing for me is just the size difference because this guy's a monster.
Starting point is 01:01:57 But it's like, if you are that size, like, people are getting away with shit of just, like, being that side. Dude, come on, man. Like, no, then they, they can. shouldn't be fucking like we need more injuries we need more we need more physicality like these these kick you're like whatever they want with no like consequences he can't be fucking around like that because you probably will get
Starting point is 01:02:19 slaps I mean I would if I was him I would have done the same shit I would slap the fuck out of him too if I got if I had fucking like receding hairline and fucking boating or whatever and you're also fucking like yeah and you're on the gear fucking pissed off like two hundred and fifty pounds of pure muscle yeah The fuck. Stop. That's fucking hilarious, dude, dude, because he was not expecting it. Like, some of that shit, I feel like people always think shit like that staged. Like, Dad did not look staged.
Starting point is 01:02:45 That was not staged. You could tell that. You could tell that, like, he was like, what the fuck? Like, this is not a part of the script. I thought he'd get mad and, like, people would think it's funny. But, like, I wasn't expected. But what does his friend do? If you all the guy was like, see, like, what the fuck do you even do?
Starting point is 01:03:01 Well, they were like, I saw a stream after that where the Ronado had his whole. bandaged up. And he was like talking to that Casey dude. It's like, you just watch your best friend get the shit slapped out of him. You didn't do nothing. And they were just like they are fucking funny. I'll give it to him. Like that lazy guy in the memory of his boy like, holy fuck.
Starting point is 01:03:20 Wait, is that the same guy? Is that the same guy that fought Logan Paul? Same guy? Yeah. Yeah. Wait, there's no video. It was just like, uh... Yeah, it's just they...
