Podcasts have always been cool. I remember working in the mortgage industry, listening to the Lost podcast. Like the Lost series? The Lost series podcast. The show? Yeah. And I was like,

it made work so much easy that I'm like, one day I'm gonna fucking make my own podcast and distract people from there. You're welcome! Ladies and gentlemen. I feel like back then

there was only like Joe Rogan. Me and Joe. I don't remember a single other podcast besides that. Just me and Joe. That was it. Now and me. Y'all started it?

Yeah, just me and Joe. I'm not a podcast guy, you know. You never listen to podcasts? Nope. I feel like he doesn't like knowledge. He's just Twitch.

I'm literally King knowledge. Nage. Twitch. Godddy. I'm literally king knowledge. He's king knowledge. Speaking of podcasts, one of my favorite shows

of all time has ended. The complex. Desperate housewives? What? Desperate housewives? No, man. One of my favorite shows. It's part of the complex network.

Full-size run. Has come to an end. Bex. What a great fucking show. Seven years. I think it was like seven years run. What show? A full size run.

That's a full size. It's a full size. It's a show or a podcast. Do you want every, huh? It's like a show slash podcast. Matt Welty, shout out of him. Trinidad James. Shout out of him.

Oh, my man, Brendan Dunn. Huh? I've seen that sort of. Yeah. Shout out Trinidad James. Huh? Shouts out Trinidad James. You know what that is?

All gold in my right. Oh, yeah. You know that too? I don't know that too? I don't know. single song is. The only one I know. Just watch.

Only what I know. You ran the streets for a little bit. What? Pissix. Dude, I'm king of knowledge. Who else said that? But anyway, lots of things to touch on.

I think that, is this the last podcast of the year for us? For this group? All right, I think right now is the perfect time as any. And maybe we can start over there or whoever's ready to go, but I can go first.

What I want for. Christmas? Yeah. What do you want for Christmas? I don't want anything really. What do you want for Christmas? Huh? What do you want for Christmas?

And where do I start? Robs. Robs. Sox. That's a good. Okay, okay. Underware. Hold on, I'm not done.

Robe socks. That's really all I want. Roads. You're good with undies? Well, I had sell the same question yesterday on the breakdown. Sell them. And he was like, I got everything that I need, I think. And I was like, dude, I think same. I don't really know what I want. Besides, like, I can use some artwork for the basement, maybe. Different art pieces.

You're talking to me? Where's that one that I gave you? I don't see that up. But like movie posters. You could, if you could do like a movie poster. What the fuck do I look like? Star Wars? I'm not a... Can you draw it all? I'm not an artist for hire. Did you draw like Star Wars shit? Or would you make it graffitiish? It would take... would just like get the outline and in color and shit. It would take, it would take me hours, it would take me longer than do what I like to do

from an art perspective. So artwork, okay, okay. What's your favorite movie? My favorite movie ever? Yeah. Okay, what about you? For Christmas, you said nothing. That's not a single thing.

Like, uh, I'm trying to remember. I'm getting new running shoes. Guy and Hokas? Um, they're Nike's, Nike Alpha Fly 2. They're expensive. They have like the carbon fiber plate at the bottom. Boney. If you're going to act like you run, get some hokas.

I have hokas, and I tried them, and I didn't like him. Really? I tried them for like a week, and they were like pinching like the middle of my foot. It was weird. Like the, the top part, like the latest part of the bottom. Like the arch? Like right here? Right here would like pinch into my foot.

Did you try it? I don't know why. No, I just tried. When I tried them on, they were fine. But then when I took them home and like started running on them, they were like, pinching my foot. You do know that I. I worked at foot action in high school, yeah.

Do you know all the... Listen, arch. Well, that's what this fucking guy was telling me. I, like, did the whole thing where I put my feet on, stand on the... Makes a lot of sense. Whatever it's called, and it, like, scans my foot, tells me... And then he recommends the shit. It's all bullshit.

What, that I've been a hard worker since... No, no, it's just because you're a sneaker head, so it makes sense that you worked at a sneaker shop. I'm not coming at you all the time, man. Great thing... Yeah, right. This guy... Yeah, right.

You sit on the black bench with the mirror behind... Like, put your foot on the... metal thing. Hector's going to bring up. I just want to, Hector's going to bring up the fact that I got in the car this morning, a little cranky because usually Mondays are my off days. Yep.

I was thinking the same thing. After the watch part. A long, hard weekend of the watch. Yeah, I was kind of mad. So I got in the car. But we do have a charity stream today.

So I said, if it wasn't for the charity stream, I would have been fucking pissed. Because usually Monday, he said he doesn't give a fuck. Yeah. It was like, but Mondays are usually my day off

and I like rely on that for the rest of my fucking week to get the mental reset I get it 100% like complete day off no stream it's my only day off of the week especially after a CDL event Hector his benevolence I fly home after that but this year we might not be flying home

or not an event I'm saying like a watch party we might not be going I'll tell you one thing I'll tell you one thing I'm giving everybody might not be Is that so happy? Might not be.

I am so mad. Listen, I'm going regardless because I obviously want to watch my boys fucking win the first major. You're going? 100%. I do want to go because I want to go visit Bodega. I told, I told Pratt that I was going to take them to Bodega to go go buy some shoes.

One of the coolest sneaker stores, you walk in, it's a bodega. You don't know Bidgas, right? Yeah, like where you go to get a chopped cheese. Yeah, exactly. But behind the vending machine, it's not a vending machine. It's a pop-up. You walk in, it's a massive fucking. It's speak easy.

Speak easy. Speak easy. Of sneakers. Yeah, man. Look at a shit. There's actually a dope spot in Dallas. You're like going to a phone booth. Oh, yeah.

Is it a bar? Where? The colony? By the Joel hotel. I don't, I, that it's cool, but it kind of weirds me out. Like, I don't want to go to those. Why? I don't know.

Like, creeps me out a little bit. No, listen. Like, who are the type of people that would go to this? The thing about places like that is. Hey, freaks. Man. I've been there. The things about.

Exactly. Well, I've been with the people. I go there with the people that go there. A shoe store is, I think, a little different. Which also, it's like why. I actually like how they got to set up. Maybe it is good for like marketing or some shit. It's for the real shoe heads.

But it's like, why if you ran a shoe store, why would you want it like that? Dude. You just want the peasants walking past. It works, man. I think it's pretty cool. I think you play hating right now. I'm being honest. No, I'm wondering from like a marketing perspective.

perspective, how would it work? We are going to be not, we're going to be such a good sneaker store that we're not even going to need no marketing. We're going to fucking do anything and everything to make it secretive. And look at it. Word of mouth. They got, they have collapsed with everyone. Yeah, might work to their advantage.

Yeah, yeah. Being like this underground, cool. Matt, look up bodega. Behind the vending machine. Hoka. Right there in the search bar. They had a collab with Hoka. Get some running shoes.

Bam. Hell yeah. Do you want to go hiking? These are the ones. Not for me personally. We got to do another. You want to go? We need like a hiking camp trip again.

Listen, I'm super down. All right, so, Bose, what are you on? I'm trying to find the, this store I want to tell you about over here. I ain't coming to that. You ever been to traffic? Nah. Out here? Nah.

Yeah. Private selection strictly, my brother, you know me. Traffic got got the goods? What they got? Like a whole bunch of like shirts like palm angels shoes I don't wear palme angels I mean they got other shit in there they got all street wear you got anything that I wear what do you wear motherfucking fires I got how often do you buy shoes like do you scroll every day and you're like no I just had that I used to have them when I was eight oh

They kind of look like pay lessee. Fucking watch your motherfucking mouth. Listen, I'll tell you what. In high school, or the Y2K is like we were there, right? Like the year 2000, like that's when we were like the... The first mesh shoes that I really fell in love with were the Reebok DMXs. They have like the bubbles that transfer on the soul. Neither here or there.

What do you want for Christmas? Oh. What I want for Christmas? Stay on topic. Yeah, I'm trying to. A.D. bro this guy would not stop changing songs 15 minutes

15 seconds every song all redheads have ADD because I I think it's like just a total deformity as a human yes what do you mean as a redhead like oh yeah like we're just fucking fucked up it's just an overall thing

amphibian in you it's an overall thing for redheads you ever met a normal redhead um I think you guys are the only two redhead friends. Or like diamonds. We're the diamonds of humans.

It would actually suck to be, y'all. I've been saying. Basic. Been saying it. You have brown hair? Nerd. Cool. You have blonde hair?

Yuck. Mine's red. I knew you were going to say that shit. You fucking always say you're like yuck. Come on, man. Don't let them distract you from what you want for Christmas. I don't know. I mean, I wouldn't know what I would want.

I mean, something I would probably get myself. like a whip or something. A whip? Really? Maybe. A car? I mean. Oh.

I'll tell you were. Yeah. I thought you were like, hey, you're getting freaky in there and the ballgags? I'll take a new car. I'll take some

paintings from my hallway and shit. Paintings? Okay. You want me to hook you up? Hell yeah. I need like three of them. Okay. Three,

do you know what size? I'm not picky. It could be anyone. $40, $100, $200, $200. $200. No, I'm trying to. Yeah, I don't get a fuck about that.

What kind of car do you want? I don't know. though it's probably be my last one for a minute. I mean, that's where all my money goes anyway. Benzel? I have no idea, to be honest. Probably, maybe. I'm in the Logian.

I got a F-150 Raptor, 20,000 miles, 2019. Hey, I'll give you my merch, good price. It's old, though. 2014. Oh, my God. How much you're telling it for? I'm not going to say it on here, but I'll give a good price. Wait, why not here?

Who cares? What the deal? I mean, they, the... How much did you get it from a big timer for? 46. 46. That's at least 16. Well, no, the dealership said it's still worth 46, so I don't drive it.

Yeah. Okay, that is a fact. That is a fact. I don't drive it. I don't agree with the price. I don't agree with the price, but I do know for a fact that he don't drive it. I don't drive it. Huh?

20 cash? Not that good of a price. You're over $20. $26,000 discount? Yeah. That's more than half. He actually doesn't drive the car. At all.

It wouldn't be bad. I also heard it's got issues. For real? That's what I heard. Got issues? No, it doesn't? It has no issues. I don't know why I said that.

30. I'd say 35, but yeah. 30 and we'll call it a deal right now. I'll give it two for 35. That's an $11,000 discount. He wants a fucking new. I mean, yeah, it is old. That's some shit I would do.

I'm not trying to push it off on you. It's a great car. It still runs. It runs. It runs. Maybe. Dude. Because I got to do one one, but I don't want to get to, like, that'd be a good option.

Keep it for like another two years. It's got 40,000 miles. Damn, that's good. Dude, I don't drive it. I never drive, ever. Almost as good as my 2019. That might work for me. That only has 20,000 miles.

Well, I used to drive. Not a bad deal. How much you sell that for it? I might work for me. I don't know. I might be. I'm like to be interested. What, 35?

Really? Maybe. I'll have to think about it. Let me know. Even though I told myself, I was like, dude, I didn't. I was, like, looking at cars and shit, like, BMW 340I, and I was like, dude, I don't need a car. I got to line up a new car first, though. I don't even have one, like, in my scopes.

I need to line one up. Yeah, I don't really know shit about cars. Yeah? I mean, I don't drive it. I still got the hex six somewhere out there. No, that shit's broken, though. You hit the mirror with the fire burn on it? It looked like, I don't know.

No. That's all Seth. Actually, do I want to get rid of it? Yes, man. Treat yourself. Dude, you should get your girl car, man. She has a car. He'll end up getting a Tesla.

This brings me back to my question. How often do you buy shoes? Every day, every time. It's every time I've seen you.

I bought a pair yesterday. Is it like at least once a week? Do you sniff them when you get them? Yeah, I don't lick them though. That's where better men. You sniff them? I do sniff them. Is that like a good, is that like a thing?

They smell good. When they come from the factory? Dude, listen, I got the perfect story for this. When I was a little kid, my mom used to buy me ponies and McGregers. okay right what are ponies ponies

wait ponies and mcgregors what is that ponies is one brand of the shoe and then they have McGregors from payless

it was just running shoes tennis tennis shoes one of them were like one of them had like the Jordan one silhouette like the high top etc yeah right there

no go up boom right there let's set my shoes right there damn 129 bucks now that you just bought

no this is what you'd see in like the 90s no Oh, those are what you used to wear. Oh, I remember those. It was 1980s. They look like Jordan.

This is what you'd see in, like, juice. Yeah. They're playing, like, basketball or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So Pony's to McGregors. And then I used to steal my dad's shoes, but that's a 10 and a half. And I was like, I don't know,

I had to be like fucking 8 or nothing. Definitely, he was two sizes too big, but I still wear him. I still steal his shoes and wear them just so I can have a variety. I don't know why I like the things that I like. But I do. I like me a nice pair of shoes, man.

You never wear the phone posits? No, not my thing. I even try, like, I consider buying them, but I'm like, if I didn't wear them in high school, one, I couldn't afford them in two, I just, like, weren't my thing. So I don't think the phone posits were mine. Like, I was talking about barber this morning about, like, the shoes that I had. I had the, the, the, the, the, uh, the, uh, you got a cut? I need a cut.

Not his best work. No. Anyway, so, yeah, so, definitely not an Instagram reel. Yes, the shoe that I bought coincidentally is a collab. Thank you for asking. Kith Club? No, no.

I would say, I mean, there's not like an item or anything specific, but I'm thankful for myself having the, disciplined to do a few things this year. Like whenever I worked out and ate clean for 60 days straight, started getting into running, and just being more consistent with everything. I'm thankful for just something you can be thankful for. I'm thankful for like upgrading my mindset every year, the last few years.

All you can ask for, dude. I don't know if that's something you can like be thankful for about it. What about you? family family obviously the watch party video going to YouTube got it

no because the watch party was still this past year when I retired this is the year I retired this is the year I retired so watch party definitely helped to make things easier for me

because I didn't like retire and then have to instantly jump into fucking streaming seven days a week but like I had the watch party so I kind of like had some time to process what the fuck just happened Yeah. But yeah, the watch party family.

Yeah, exercise. I've been super exercising this year. I was exercising while I was playing. I fell off it a little bit after I retired just because I fucking was probably depressed and I didn't even realize it. And I started exercising again and now I'm down like 20 pounds. Exercise. I refound exercising this year, which I'm pretty hype about.

Nice. But not weight training. No, just running. my heart feels better, my lungs, I can breathe. I haven't been vaping. I've been off nicotine for months. Like, I haven't been drinking, like, at all. Are you off the hard stuff, though?

So, we started out, not to say that when we play the subliners, we didn't have a good match because we lost 250 to like 240-something, right, on the first one.

in that so since then though we've had a pretty good trajectory as to a pretty good indicator obviously we're not going to play phase in the first three weeks because who cares about competitive integrity right like it's it's not a draw it's not it's not a luck of the draw who plays who like optic has to play at the end of every opening series they have to play at the top of the hour at the opening of the tournament the closing the tournament the first day so since then three one decisive win was yesterday against the Ravens. They got slammed. I feel bad for the Ravens because they got slammed back-to-back

days. They got slammed by Toronto and then they got slammed by us, just both of them. Just slams. I feel bad for them, man. What do you do? I mean, it's just... I mean, yeah, you have to. I mean, you could make a change, but... I don't think you can do. They just... They went into that match, like, we got to try our best. Like, we know we're going to get pounced on, but let's, at least, at least,

least make it close. They got diffed. Both times. It's like every one on player, like in a one-on-one is better. Optics players better than, like, you can't make no mistake. They literally have to play perfect how to win. It's just what it is. Couldn't you say that Optic has to play or any other team that they're playing has to play?

Nah. That was your skill, the skill difference? Yeah, we can make mistakes. Yeah. Because we'll just tally on our way out of it. Yep. It's like. Make a bad play.

Oh, Pred two piece. Wow. Oh, man. It's an exciting team to watch. It was a quick day too. It was a quick day yesterday. Yeah, and I know Matthew. It was, from what I remember, the fastest day was like four hours and like 20 some.

Yesterday was. Three hours and 25 minutes. Yeah. From when we went live. So that's like, that's including like 20 minutes of us like just talking about the matches and bullshitting at the start of the stream. It was like three hours of matches. It was like. It was so quick

30303.3.0. Like if everyone was ready to play immediately after the next match, that she would have been like... So is this upcoming weekend the last weekend? No, it's... Oh, holiday break. Oh, shit. They have a full month off now.

And it's interesting because the players were playing on the old patch. So there's CDL builds. They're allowed to differentiate which patch they play on. That's not what the public's playing. But now they're about to go on to the new patch, changes a whole lot of spawns in the game. So I'm anxious to see when we come back who it affects and who it doesn't affect

because it does slow the game down, in my opinion, on certain maps. So on weeks off, like for example, there's two weeks off. How many weeks off do we have? Do the players have? Until matches? Yeah. I mean, they start January 12th. January 12th.

So do you think, okay, out of those four weeks, in theory, do they, completely take off or still practice? No, they'll practice. So they'll probably they might even be practicing like the next couple days but then once they leave obviously they're probably not going to practice at home. They might but I doubt it. And then they'll probably

they'll probably rush back though. Like they'll have Christmas maybe stay to 26th then fly back to 27th and start skrimming again. So they have like they probably have like five or six days off from scrims. Yeah. But they'll have like two weeks of practice before they get back into the matches.

That's cool. What are you guys, I mean, obviously, Hector's has given the company the last two weeks of, maybe not production team, but everybody else gets the last two weeks off. Even production, right? The month? Everyone. Well, you know what's crazy? We were talking about last night because we did that 1V1 video in summer, and it just dropped. Yeah.

What are they doing back? So how many fucking videos do we have still in the chamber? I always think about that. I'm like, am I filming videos that are not going to come out? 14, Matt says. So why the fuck are we still filming videos if we got to? 14 in the chamber. Gotta keep you going.

I'm got to keep it going, man. I mean, yeah, but we got 14. Got to prepare for a rainy day. What a fucking... The building just... We got 14. We don't post every day. Another pandemic.

And they're all bangers too. I got to say, Joey's got the best shoe game outside of me in this fucking office. I'll tell you that much. I've seen him in maybe two pairs of shoes. A pair of new balance and A6, I think. No. And outside of that, he's... He has no A6 that I know of.

He's got like several new balance. balances, some pomeros. He's got like five pomeros. When the cleaning people come today and see my graveyard are these, they're going to be like, Mita.

Meida. That's what I mean I is? You don't give it to him? Be like, yo, pass this out. Nah, sometimes I do. Yeah, that's cool. All right. What's going on?

Twitch reverses the team of the time, you can't be naked no more? You could for a little bit. Girls were on their main neck clap. That shit's crazy. They allowed twerkers. and now they've removed it. That's how Nasha put his twerking days video up or an image?

Girls, dude, it's... No, so they, what they're doing, they're just showing... They're oiling up their fucking bodies on camera, and then they're just showing like the... The camera cuts off right at the net. Yeah, they're throwing the top half of their boobs. And they'll get a sob and go... And it'll like slightly move up and everyone's just...

How many is fucking insane? It's insane to me wild. Wait, so people actually... It blows my mind. Bro. There are sights. And sights. Which one of you...

Which one of your sickles that like watch this shit? Yeah. They're interacting in it. Like, bro, you got to assume that they're like... It's like they're like 13 year olds, 14 year olds. I don't... I think it's probably mostly like 30-8-year-old freaks. It probably is a lot of young kids.

You know what I'm saying? Have you guys ever seen the movie bad words? I remember the first pair of... Knockers. Respectfully, titties I saw. Mm-hmm. respectfully, of course. Respectfully.

And I loved them. I'm like Maggie. I was like, whoa. You've been in love ever since? You liked them ever since? Loved them. I haven't liked him ever. I've loved him.

I love him. Oh, man. Girls be doing some crazy shit. Wait, so, so was it? I saw who was, maybe the surter posted. I don't know who it was, but that, that, uh, that, I show did the same thing. Oh, I show speed.

He made a clap. And the call, the girl was like, what was that? I didn't see that. Speed's crazy. Dude, there was a girl that like, she's naked under the towel, but has like, I think she has like a bikini underneath or something. But she like just has a towel up wrapped around her body. And then she does a countdown from 10.

She's like, 10 until the towel comes off. And like everyone's just like type in and chat, like that shit. She's at like 10, 9, but she does it for like an hour long. Like that, the countdown from 10 to zero is literally her entire stream. Nine, let me see some like in the chat, guys. Are you excited for me in the chat? You just know. And then she gets the one and she's like 0.9, 0.8.

It seems like you watched the whole countdown. Yeah, what the fuck? I don't know. You came back? You sent an alarm. I was owned it at 0.1 and that lasted 45 minutes. I clicked off and report. You sat there for 45 minutes?

I never got to that part. She does get to that part and it's just like her in a bikini. Just think about how many sleepovers there are happening across the entire world in which there's just a group of teenage boys. Just playing the stream. Yeah, just playing the stream. All sitting around like, like, yeah, with their fucking Cheetos. 100%.

100%. You think most of their audience is like 13? year olds? No, there's some old, like, freaks. Because I feel like if you're 13, you can get, you can find some better shit than it. Like, I'm really starting to see this shit now. And I know for girls, it's crazier. Like, I'll see people, like, it doesn't really happen to me, but for Skump.

Like, I'll see people, like, replying for Skump, like, they know what the fuck he's thinking. And I'm like, but there's people that really think, like, I don't know how to explain it. No, this is Han masseuse. Like, it's his hamisus. Nah, like. What are you talking about? There's people who are like The Uber

I don't even not I don't want to say anything fucked up We're this word ends This word ends Nah that was weird Nah he was just Offering us out Dude

What are you freaking I do I do remember Have we told that story? No we don't want to either Look at this The turn to service I mean we might as well Make the podcast

Somebody shot a shot with Seth And told him I was in an Uber And I was probably like 18 And this guy Got his shot Yeah Yeah. He was like an old dude. Looked like Santa Claus, man. Ruined Santa for me.

He hasn't sat on a Santa slap since he was 18. He literally ruined Santa single-handedly. But yeah, he would probably still be sitting there. I was in the back seat. It was just me. I mean, I'm in an Uber. So I'm like, ah, normal Uber. He starts talking about massaging my hands and shit. Because I told him, he's like, what do you do? I play video games professionally. This is probably when I was like 19. Or maybe, maybe. I don't remember how old I was. I was like, I play video games professionally. He's like, oh, do you ever get your hands massage? I'm like, no, no. not really, I don't really have any pain and he's like, do me to come inside and come massage your hands right now? Fuck, no. And I was like, what?

Your stomach drop? Huh? Like your stomach drop? Like, I don't want into like a panic zone. I was tweaking. I was like, oh, I'm good. Thank you though. But he kept going. And he was like, he was really adamant on coming in and like, we weren't at where I was going yet. Stop saying that.

What? Yeah. This is excellent every podcast. What is that? He just sits like that. You'll notice it. Once you see it once, you'll start to notice it every time he does it. I don't do it on purpose.

I don't know. He just starts chilling like this. It was some weird shit, man. Yeah, that's fucking weird. Did you give him like a one star because of it? I don't remember what I did. I think I was just, I think I was just, went inside, sat on the couch and just like took five. I'm pretty sure I was just tweaking.

I was like, dude, what just happened? That's fucking weird. Dude, he had to have been like six to five. Full like gray beard. Oh, man. Not your type. Not my type, man. Anyway, I just don't understand with this like artistic nudity, right?

What does that mean? I don't know what. You know what? I, I... The body is art. Amen. I just... I believe it's what they're going for?

Is it weird that I see that shit and it's just like doesn't compute in my brain as like a sexual thing? How the fuck did they pass this though? They tried. How'd they pass it? And then they reversed it. Because Twitch has been like pretty like pretty like a sexual thing. like, pretty strict about what content you show. And then artistic nudity comes out of left field.

You got knockers swinging around the screen and all up. Like, knockers. You know who thought. You know who thought. Just huge knockers. I don't know what exactly they were allowing, but I know they were allowing twerking. Yeah, twerking.

So it's just like five gifted for a twerk. Yeah, but it's... At that point, if I'm a female, I start thinking. What do you mean if you're a female? You should start... You should start throwing it back, man. Can't do that. I mean, I can.

Santa Hanmasoos is out there waiting for something like that. Dude. Some girls probably clutched up for a few days, though. They probably made bank. Good for them. But now they reversed it and we're back to whatever we were at. Normal Twitch. Even though they're still.

Now we're back to just normal nudities. No longer artistic. Now it's just hot tubs and bikinis. I mean, personally, dude, like, again, I couldn't give a fuck less of a fuck as to what. people are doing. Like I said, every single time I see like, I never, I'm like, oh, you know what I'm saying? Like, it's just not my thing. Like, every time I walk by by Nick's computer and he's got him open, I'm just like, yeah, yeah, this is random. But did

you see the show with Anthony Edwards on Twitter? Oh. Like how he got a girl pregnant. And then she was like telling him like, yeah, I'm pregnant. The Timber was playing? Yeah. And he, he told her like, uh, so, like, get an abortion. And then she's like, uh, I had an abortion with my first son I regret it every day da-da-da and he's like well I can't have a baby right now yeah and then they're going back and forth and then he's like take the pills or whatever whatever and then

she's like sending him an AI video and he's like send a video she's like hey have you spoken to the lawyer he's like send a video wait what he's go he sent her 100 grand though to get it to kill it I think so yeah I think listen

sorry right should we not use that to her sorry Lord to kill it I mean I mean, it's, what the fuck? It's fucking gone. There's definitely other words you can use. To fucking get rid of it. Abort it.

I mean. Abort. You can say, so she did it. I mean, it's their problem. It ain't ours. We're just telling the story. Is it real? We don't know if it's real.

All I'm saying, though, is that if they come to an agreement in which says, Will, in which he says. Well, kill it's harsh, right? Big time. Big time is crying behind the camera. All the text said, send a video. That's fucking. The same.

Of her. Taking the pills or something? Oh, what? Yeah. But this is what I'm saying, though. He gave her $100,000. Yeah. Wired.

I think that with that 100 grand should have been like, look, you can choose to keep it and you are going to be responsible for it. You know what I'm saying? Like, it should be both people. For a girl to even. I don't know. But it's so. Like she was so against it, but he's like, I'll send you $100. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Fuck it. Bye. She knew exactly. She's, let me see if I could wait. Well, I mean, he kind of. willingly sent it but you know

I mean he's fucking Anthony what happens between two consenting adults in public allows for other adults to have an opinion on it he's crazy that's why I like to handle my shit behind closed doors usually so what who leaked it the girl she took a hundred grand

prior to aborted the baby and exposed them and then it's just like why I don't blame him for not wanting a baby with you that's gonna do some shit like that that's the first thing she did took the money Did what took the money make it public She weaponized the baby How the fuck do you

She literally today she's probably just walking around Happy hundred grand of her bank She's shocked Yeah she's probably 85 way Way less than that Quick come up I'll be bad I'd be like 30

Yeah that shit gone now You put that in her LSU She said pay it to my LLC Upgraded the crib got a Mercedes Pay it to the LLC though Because there's some expenses coming in Before the year ends Anyway, Jake Paul,

Jake Paul got into a fight. He knocked out Andre August. I don't know if he was, I didn't watch it. I'm over it, personally. I kind of am as well. No idea. Especially this fight, even though this fight was supposed to, he didn't hype it up at all.

Like, I think he's doing some fights just to like get some numbers under his record. Yeah, his boxing wreck. But apparently this guy. He's about to be top 100. Damn. Oh, my God. That uppercut was a legit uppercut. The guy he boxed.

Yeah, he is. The guy he box hadn't, I think, I forget how old he was, like 38 or something. He hadn't boxed in four years. But apparently he used to be good. I think someone said even though he's older now and hasn't boxed in a while, he used to be like a golden gloves champ or something. But I also don't know. I don't know if that's like a joke.

Yeah, I know. But he's also fucking old head. Like there's probably kids that are 18 who, like there's people he could fight. Age six or so. Jake Paul could find probably like a 16 year old 17 year old boxer that will fuck him up. Yeah.

Yeah, of course. But I'm not even trying to hate on it. I understand what he's doing. He's like building his record. Yeah, he's building his record of making a bag every fucking fight. Trying to get better. He knows he can't just take one some good ass opponent.

No more showtime. All he got to do is score that three fight Netflix deal. Oh, good for him. I ain't play a Hayden. I'm not play a Hayden either, man. Before we end the last podcast of our year, we have another podcast with legendary big timer that's coming up

with Hitch and some other people, maybe hopefully another legend in methods. But I want to see this. YouTuber has a rocket launcher that explodes in their hands as devastating test. I don't want to see this. All right, close your eyes because I am watching. It doesn't show it blowing up his hand, does it?

I mean, there's no way. I mean, look at his arms. Hey, he got burned, but that should look crazy, bro. and you ain't even thinking. Oh. What the fuck? I mean, he's knocked out. He's knocked out.

Oh, yeah. Fuck. Fuck. Is his arm broken? Yeah, dude. I mean, the shock alone. Dude. I've seen.

Oh my God, bro. Look how burnt his arm is. Yeah. I've seen. I didn't even see his arm. That shit looked toasted. Listen, when you play with fire, sometimes you get burned. Jesus.

I remember these hands. I remember this specific hand right here being black from a, from a, from a, a from a firework when I was like eight years old that went off my hand. Oh man. Is it traumatizing? Yes. Do you do it again? You have to. If you love it which these dudes look like they do. Their names are ballistic high speed. Like they're wearing t-shirts.

Oh dude. I could have been. Yeah. I mean luckily he's okay. Man. That looks fucking crazy. So I've done a show like this. Color Controller with Machinima back in the day. I'll end it with this. But Tommy Temper almost died in that show. Tommy Temper almost died in that He was like, think about it

This was what 2000 and it had to have been like 2013 So Tommy Had to have been like 17 Barely made 18 And uh And we were shooting We were shooting at uh

At Tannerite At FPS Russia's thing And Tommy lines up And takes a shot Dude you can look it up man Temper controller He takes a shot And a fucking shrapnel

And I'm talking about jagged edge fucking metal I'm not sorry, a wooden, just piece, jagged edge, right? Because it just exploded. Came flying, bro? It came right here. Fucking, you couldn't see it. You couldn't see it.

Blinking of the knife was gone. His head would have been gone. Holy shit. I mean, if I do die, I hope it's this, yeah. The worst deaths, I was, I was talking to Michelle about this, like, and she didn't agree with me, but I was saying, like, the worst deaths would be, like, being trapped under an avalanche. Or like...

Just suffocating? Yeah. And you just can't move. There's so much... Or being stuck in the fucking... Like a manhole? Like a cave or something. Buried alive.

Yeah. Like being just stuck in some area. Being stuck down a fucking mountain and a crevice. You can't move. Like how people climb under and shit. Oh my God. Imagine being stuck on that. Or the cave tunnel shit.

Forget what... I forget what she said. I got to hear what she said. That was like my worst, but I forget what she said her worst. be burning alive? Gotta be burned alive. That would be...

But I heard that burning alive, like, after the first minute of excruciating pain, all your nerve-ending Yeah, yeah. I think drowning would be... You're just still burning? Apparently drowning after you get through, like, the painful part is blissful, which I don't understand. Well, you pass out. No, like, you float and you're just like... Well, because you're underwater.

But like... I'm actually going to research that. Ah, drowning as well, like... I'm gonna fight. I'm gonna fight. You're just like... You just like are... I'm gonna try to stay alive.

I'm going to try to stay alive to adjust so I can say that I fought death. I'm going to be like, oh, stay alive as long as I can. Anyway, ladies and gentlemen, that is going to do it. Please do remind us of what you're thinking for at the comment section down below. We'll see you guys next year. Goodbye.
