Welcome back to another episode of the Optic Podcast. There's a second? No, it's not the Flycast. This was last week's episode. The Flycast and Seth is on this time. What's up? Good morning. Episode 215 of the Optic Podcast.

We'll talk about Shopify and trade coffee soon. But right now, Ian, I heard you have a racist weekend. Yep. Yeah, looking forward to it. Koda with NASCAR. It's going to be a bunch of people. Another left turn. No, no.

We're actually, it's actually going to be probably the most physically demanding track I've done just because they have like the shorter layout so they're taking away the back straight and the straights are where you like rest and relax. You relax on the streets?

Yeah, yeah. I mean, yeah, you just fucking burn. Just burn that. This is relaxing. If you got to tighten your belts, you steer with your knee and then do that so we're gonna do that at like 150 have you ever had an erection while driving no okay dude why you're probably so focused not the question i thought that was about to be sorry i just was curious get a little r b he said tighten the belt and it made me think so are you all like

are you all like nascar drivers where you lose don't they don't naskar drivers lose fucking 20 pounds during a race or something uh that's f1 but oh really i'm we're near it i mean i don't Why is F1 so much hotter than everything else? Well, they just sweat. There's no AC. They take it out for weight of the car. Does NASCAR not like that either? NASCAR doesn't.

Yeah, I know my shame. No, NASCAR have AC. That is one fact. Include my one fact. Yeah, they take out the AC for weight of the car. You fucking idiot. In NASCAR, they probably actually do lose a lot of weight. Their races are longer.

So are y'all like that at all? Like, when you get out of your car, the other is fucking soaked. Oh, yeah. NASCAR drivers lose up to 10 pounds of body fluids. Like, can you feel just a puddle beneath your fucking team? No, you actually, no. Ew. Welcome to the outfit.

No, the suit. The suit like absorbs. Wait, do you have to pee while you race? Dude, I make sure. I actually, I will like triple check before the race. Really? Like, to make sure I don't have to pee. So you never, do you have like teammates or people that just like, they just go?

Sometimes you just got to go? No, I mean, our races are only 45 minutes. Oh, okay. That's not bad. I feel like you just lose, too. If you had to get out of the car and go pissed or raise. I would piss myself. If I'm in third and I have to pee, I'm peeing.

Yeah, 100%. But then that adds weight to the car. Multiple. It's like a pound of weight. You know what? But I guess it's still in you, so does it? There's no way it's a pound. How much is an average?

Seth, I'm glad you caught that. Google how much an average piss ways? I guess it doesn't really. I'm glad you caught that. I said pee's a pound? Yeah. No, no. How much is an average human piss way?

No, the worst part is actually after the fact. Like, the race is over, say you have a podium, right, and you have to go park the car, do a fucking interview. 10 ounces. That's like half a pound. More than half. Is it? Shit, I don't know about that. I lost.

How many ounces are in a pound? After a pee the other morning, dude. 10 ounces is points. I weighed myself before and after. I was curious. You were curious I was curious You waged yourself before and after a pee?

Yeah, in the morning Because I was like First thing I do in the morning I hop on the scale Don't like what I see Go take a piss How much you weigh Get back on

204 now God, how is everyone Skinnier than me Even courage is fucking That's bad Well, almost everyone I was 177 yesterday Don't worry

My depression is getting me there I've had a full meal in three days Even fucking courage is less than 200 now God, Seth's fucking skinny as shit Not skinny as shit And let me just give you some advice Nick I think it's just time I think it's time to just give up

Never that All he's play in the middle Just hit the round of his shit With Nick How much are you How much are you Probably 210 All up her body

Of course Fucking fat as shit Yeah Yeah do something. Yeah, but he literally came on the watch party the other week and he's like, dude, I've been eating like shit. I've been ordering McDonald's.

Oh, it's, it was, I go on like, it's just sprees. Like the rest of this week, I'll eat fine. And then comes like Saturday or something. I was just bored. Your cheat meal, you just go nuts. It is a lot of boredom. It's not cheap meals. It's cheap.

I think I have a mental disorder. Like days, sprees. No, you know what I've been doing? Why the hell is he here so early? Fuck, you're responsible. He heard Seth was here. Sorry. I'm sorry.

It just, it kind of like, it just hit my brain. I'm so, I'm really, genuinely, I'm sorry. Is it having a good morning walking in with his coffee?

Just gets cooked immediately. I'm sorry. I said it and I was like, that, why? Why did I say that? Oh, shit. What were we talking about? He said it's a boring ass cast.

Yeah. I was running yesterday and Hector, Hector's about to leave for Mexico. I think he leaves today. But he pulls up on me just in my ear just honks as loud as he can. Dude, that's so weird you said that. I mean, go proceed. And I'm like, I'm like praying. Like when I'm on my runs, I'm like, please don't let me see fucking Hector or Matt

in the neighborhood where they come up behind me and they fucking do what Hector did where he just honks in the back of my ear and I'm just like, what the fuck? Dude, it's so weird you said that. I don't know why I was thinking of you and thinking of you running yesterday but I was like imagining seeing you on your run and like vlogging it or something. Yeah he did he pulled up

honked immediately phones in my face I literally just got done with my two mile I ran two miles straight and he's like why are you walking? I'm like dude I just finished my two miles hacks pulling up why are you walking why is he going to Mexico

I think it's like a leisure leisure trip fishing and I don't know exactly His annual fishing trip Is that what Yeah I think that's what He's going with all of his boys

In Mexico In the boonies of Mexico Just getting Fucking drunk high When he was vlogging He used to get some crazy shots At that trip Like drone shots and shit

Them and like the fucking swamps Oh yeah for sure It was wild I bet you that shit is so fun Yeah what? Just being out there Fishing Did they get drunk and shit?

Yeah Apparently they get like really How long as he was? he go out there for? I feel like that's the only way to fish. You gotta do something. I would think the same thing. Take shrooms and just like... I still feel a tug. I still don't

understand fishing like that. Like how... I get it. I understand going like once in a blue moon and just like getting drunk. Look at that shit. Nah, it's so fun. Like I can understand going out, getting drunk, you're hanging with your boys, like you're in nature.

Like it's almost like camping. But like you do that once every fucking once a year or something. Fishing, people just go like, they'll sit there sober and just like on a boat. It's relaxing. Yeah, my, my, my granddad and my dad, they never, I never saw either one of them drink their whole lives. And they used to go all the time, like all the time.

Just go out there. My dad would fish as well. He took me when I was like 12 or something. I think, and I didn't realize this to older. I think, I think it's to get away from the women. I really do think There's part of that in there Nah

I mean it's just it's relaxing I don't know It is relaxing but like it's also Just away from home Yeah Away from the family Away from the work Away from everything

Just go out on the boat Just go out on the boat There's just nothing but fuck There's no fucking power lines It's a vibe I love it Sometimes there's not even Cell phone reception

Yeah I can see it I just don't As a it's funny It's like a kid you don't, did you like fishing as a kid? Because I remember as a kid being like, holy shit, why is anyone doing this? But then as you get older,

some of that stuff as a kid that you hated, as you get older, you like kind of like. Yeah, talk radio. I hated, I hated getting in my dad's car and it was fucking talk radio. I was like, can you listen to music please?

Now it's like, and now all I listen to is podcasts. Yeah. That's all I listened to. I always used to fuck with the radio when I was a kid. 99.3. Fucking.

But like, we need, the butt. Weenie in the butt. Yeah, that's for a family guy. Oh, was it like a talk radio or like? Yeah, yeah. Well, no, it was like music, but when they come on and do their like inner, inner music

little talk sessions. You're getting an Uber and they're listening to the radio. You know, like, what the fuck? Yeah, every Uber. Why? Why do Uber, why do 50% of Uber's, or is it more? They're in their car all day. It's like, yeah, you're in your car all day.

Why don't you, like, you should have your. They're older. They don't have Spotify. It's like worship music. You're Spotify play. Dude, I recently had an Uber where this guy was listening to like a radio station that was like we're on the edge of Houston and it was like playing two radio stations at the same time.

And I'm sitting there like, wait what? 15 minutes. And one of them was like the Mexican like fucking trumpet music or whatever the fuck it is. And then the other one was rap. And I'm sitting there like, dude, I'm losing my fucking. here man. Ian's like, okay, like, damn, wait. I was sitting there, like, the guy's just, just slowly eating chips and I'm like, nah, dude, I think I'm going

insane. Like, this guy's making me lose it. I think that's probably my biggest pet peeve in the whole world is like radio stations that are staticy. Yeah. But, like, it's still kind of coming through and like it being on in general. I'd rather sitting there taking it. I'd rather sit in silence. Dude, I didn't say a fucking word, man. Well, I always have my AirPods. Always. Are you even playing anything in it?

Huh? Are you even playing anything in the AirPods? In the AirPods? Yeah. What? You think I'm sitting there just in silence? Or just like to not, like, when the Uber driver sees you with AirPods, I ain't going to talk. Yeah.

Do you have the maxes? Do you have the maxes? No, just regular AirPods. I have the maxes and I, like, on airplanes, like, I'll just put them in and just have the noise canceling on, but not be listening to anything. Dude, I, I know this. It literally like drowns the whole airplane. Yeah, I mean, I guess if you're trying to sleep or something. I know this isn't a topic, right?

But what do you think's going to happen like 20 years from now after wearing headphones all day every day? Apparently there's... I'm going to have tinnitus? The headset, uh, dense. Well, even like the blue... Oh, headsets.

I'm talking the Bluetooth dense, bro. You guys got to get on IMs now. Do I have? I'm telling you. I don't know if I have a headset. Nah, because those hurt my ears after they're in for too long. I don't know. What can it do?

You got a mold. Mishhape your head? Maybe. What you got to do with the molds is whenever you get them done. Don't they cost like 10 racks? No, I got like a... No, the molds are like, I mean, it all depends. Ten racks.

The molds are like $100.20. I remember I went, got molds with Kyler and aunt, and then I retired. Went, got my molds, got my in ears, and then retired. Do you use them for stream? No, I still use them. Oh, for streaming it so? No, never. I use my Razor Black Shark V2 pros.

Well, I don't know. What could even happen from the dent? I feel like if I was going to have a dent, maybe I do have one. I feel like it'd be there already. I'm more worried about like the Bluetooth. Yeah, see. AI said it's a... AI said it's not real.

It's a dent, so. Or it's a myth. Wearing a headset does not dent the skull. I don't know about seeing videos. Have you ever heard bad shit about like the wireless headphones and shit? Like the Bluetooth being straight into your ear Yeah, Zinnie keeps saying that the Apple Watch band Causes cancer and I'm like

I mean, I don't know I mean dude they're finding out everything Even these shoes like this Oh God the shoes now Oh shoes are No no like this Gortex Like rainproof shit Right

Apparently if it just rains all fucking day Like this guy took a Gortex jacket Rained all day And apparently he found like harmful chemicals in the water afterwards. Like, it's every... Dude, I'm... Why do you have brainproof shoes on right now?

No, I honestly bought them because they're firmer. So it's like... Are they running shoes? Yeah. So it actually is like, like, there's no ankle support on these, right? But since they're so firm... Oh, hokas. I wear hocus. Yeah, but because they're so firm, because of the Gortex,

like, it's just more stability. Yeah, that's what I... That's what I wear to run. Hocus. Hocas are the shit. I need to get back into running, man. Shit. Duo shit.

You need to get back into squatting, bro, with them chicken dives. Damn. Like, tell me I don't have leg muscle. You don't have leg muscle. You don't, no, no. Say it with a straight face. You don't have leg fat is what you have. Correct.

You don't have much. None of my, all of my fucking. Dude. You got the pouch? Oh, God. It's just, it's like a foo, my fat just goes straight to my stomach. That's the hardest part to lose, too. Oh, it's so.

I'm even still working on that. I don't have the courage to do what you just did, but are you, I'm not doing that shit. Next topic. All right, let's talk about. Let's talk about the Girl Scout cookies. You want to talk about the Girl Scout cookies? Yeah, after just talking about how fat we are.

What were you talking about? Oh, Marvel Rivals team? Optic Texas. Oh, yeah. Let's talk about that. Dude. Oh, and 12 map count. How was that?

I haven't watched a single map. Oh, it's tough. I'm sure what it's bad. Are they getting, is it like close? No. It's kind of weird. No, it's tough. Like this last match against the Ravens was just like,

domination. So tomorrow, Hector calls you up. says say you're now not only not only all the roles that you have now but you're also GM people already think I'm GM well imagine so they know you're not

but imagine you are I'm not yeah who you drop in what is your next rule of action nothing there's an they're just in a fucking pull the fucking cord on the magic conch nothing yeah literally nothing just let them figure it out yeah they're just so in their fucking heads right now I'd know it

Like, I mean, they lost what? It was like 250 to 110, 6-1 S&D, then like 3-0 control. 3-2, no, I went 3-2. Oh, it went 3-2. But then they have defense hossi. They look like they could win five seconds left. They can't be, and that's all they had to do to win because they had lives. And then we just lose, and I was just like, dude.

And then the fucking chats. Oh, my God. Oh, dude, I can't. I like. I really, I can't. After an optic loss, usually it's like, okay, chat's bad for a couple minutes. It's obviously a little bit awkward. You know, we kind of just...

Ignore the chats. No, no, we don't ignore it because we're talking about what went wrong and, you know, all that stuff. But, dude, it's like, it was like 10, 15 minutes of us just not knowing what to say. Yeah, it was bad. I was tuned in. It was tough. I mean, it's like, what do you say? Yeah.

Even as like a player, it's like... because you lose a few matches, you shouldn't, and like you're tweeting out afterwards, like, just got to do this and messed up with this and got to do this better. There haven't even been like tweets, like the players aren't tweeting. Because it's like, what are you going to say?

Yeah. There's nothing you can say that's not going to get people just replying like, shut the fuck up. You said this last week. Yeah. That's fucking tough. Yeah, it's tough. And the fucking, the cod fans, they don't,

they don't really take, they don't, they're ruthless. And I feel like people are also, it's kind of compounded as well, just because it's our major, this major, and we start 0 and 9 map counts. So it's like, fuck. Now it's our major. We obviously have the ring ceremony going on. They get their rings at the major. And there's a chance. At this point, there's a high chance that we start in losers.

And it just kind of, I think we'll probably have to win three of our last four. I think we have to, we minimum have to win three, minimum. But we also play thieves in there, which. Thieves look great right now. Yeah. But I feel like if we play thieves, we'll probably play up to the competition. Yeah, that's what I do. But then again, it's like, who knows because we've been kind of all over the place.

So, yeah, it's been a tough little drought. And it's obviously, again, at a bad time just because it's our major coming up next. Yeah, that part sucks. But I hope they turn it around. I mean, this weekend we got the minor. They play Vegas. First round of the minor. Everyone's like, they're about to lose to Vegas.

if we lose to Vegas, oh my God. There will 100. I think there's got to be some sort of change. What's Vegas's record? 0 and 104? 0 and 12. They're 0.19 and hard point. Yeah, what's their hard point record?

Oh, 19. Okay, let's make bets. When do you think they win their first one? I don't know if they will. No, there's no way they don't win one. I don't think they will. I genuinely don't think they will. I feel like the time has passed for them to win one.

I feel like. Did you see Sam's crash out on that team? Yeah, yeah. On Vegas? Yeah. Oh, yeah, I mean. It's great. What was it?

Or maybe we can pull it up. I'm going, Seth, I'm going 28th loss. 28? So you think they lose nine more? They're going to go 0 and 28 than clutch. Yeah. I think they go one and end up one in 28 and hard point. I mean, they're still, we're not even halfway through the year.

They're going to play more than that. There it is. Yeah, I was about to say, what's the, I'll listen to this shit. All right. I'll listen. This is serious. Seriously, because this one was fucking, this was a great. This was a great when I'm crashing hard enough on the show you know this I mean tell talk about a competitive series here

Ladies and gentlemen I mean these guys are horrible man these guys are horrible they don't know what they're doing They don't know the basics of God I'm sorry they just don't know the basics like guys as far as it's like flipping Chat saying just skip working trades like they don't know the basics they they just don't know to fell off a cliff bro Brother it's not even like I don't even want to point them out individually they I bro I'm sure they're all like talented right they're all like mechanically like they look good like they can shoot straight well they can shoot straight it's fucking dynamic that's what i'm saying that's where i'm going to i'm gone with this shit everyone they are lost on a map they are lost they don't know what's going on bro they don't know what's going

blows i have to watch falcons give 10 points to everyone they play to the rest of the year they're probably not going to win a series barring some fucking friendship bullshit fucking i'm not trying against Falcons because we're both not qualified for champs L.A.G. at the end of the year. Falcons fucking suck. They're terrible. They're so bad. And the fact that I have to watch them play these series is depressing to the CDL. I'm so serious.

I got a comment at the beginning of my stream today saying that we're bullying. We're bullying them. Why did you buy a spot and make us watch the worst fucking cod of the last five years? Why? I mean, just go buy LAT. Go off from a million dollars. I mean, listen. Why am I watching Wixel and his fucking school friends get shotted?

That's not right. What's the point? Tell me, are any of these four players on the team next year? This is a weird situation? No, no, no. Are any of these four players in the league next year? No. Why the fuck am I watching them play Codd?

This one of the situations. I'm sorry, bro. I'm not sure. I don't know. I kind of agree. I'm over. I'm over at that oil money. At the beginning of the year,

well, at the beginning of the year, it was kind of like, okay, it's exciting. We have a completely new region joining with a team fielded from their region and everyone's like, oh, let's see how they progress. Let's see if they get better. Let's see if they can put things together. They got Clayster as their coach. People are like, oh, Clay will get them on the right page. And now we're probably like, what, 30, 35% ish into the season. And these guys just, they're getting worse because people are getting better. Now it's to the point where people are getting better at the game. Now people are actually, most teams understand and know what the fuck is going on and how to punish teams.

And now it's just getting worse and worse and worse. And I agree. It's like every series watching these guys, it's just a free 10. And I don't know how we got on the road. I don't know how we got to this point roasting Vegas. When our guys are one. But yeah. But yeah, I mean, yeah, they definitely.

We're bad, but we're not that bad. I mean, it is, it is, it's, it's, it's. boring to watch. Every single series, we go into the series, our chat on the watch party's always like, I mean, now we just make jokes for it. We're like, who do you guys got? Like, I wonder who's going to win? At this point, we're just like sitting there hoping that they win a hard point so we could go crazy and be like, holy shit, they finally did it. But yeah, it's bad. And then 60 seconds in, you're like, nope, not this one. Yeah, well, no, they play the first half good.

Like, it'll be like 80, it'll be like 80 to 80, 60 to 80. And then they'll lose one rotation, get full-60ed, and then the map, you just know the maps over. The map's over. So, yeah, I think, like what you're saying, it's, is exciting when there's, like, a new region. They speak a new language. The listen-ins are always fun because you have no idea what the fuck they're saying. But that's what happened with Miami. And that was awesome.

But now Miami's sick. And so you're like, well, Miami also, their team, they fielded players that were already in the league and had league experience. They have lucky medals, you know, Rial. And then Rancor's a rookie for him this year. He's been great, but yeah, they just have been in the league. They have experience. They've been, you know, they haven't been great in the league historically.

What about the best team you could make that speaks in other languages is? Like what's the best possible teams that you could make? Hydra Lins. I was going to say, Hydro Lens, maybe legend, just put them in Cod for a little bit. Like all the same language? You're just not English. Hydra Lins Rial. All the same language.

They have to be able to. I guess they want to be that good of a team. And Rambo Ray. Just four different language. They're just not even, you don't even come. Ray would for sure coach that team. A little French team? That would be sick.

But yeah, it's bad. The Falcons are just bad. It's tough to watch. We play them this weekend, thankfully. Knock on wood. Yeah. Thankfully. It's weird because I'm even, I mean.

Are you nervous? No. No. I'm not. No. But I'm like, no. It's not a win. If we lose to these falcons.

I will turn the fucking stream off. What if... It'll be the first watch party we've ever done where we will early exit that shit. I'm going to make a prediction. I won't know what I... Listen, we're 0 and 12 map count. This is...

Okay, we're 0 and 9 map count. That's wrong. That's... We're on a 12 map losing streak right now. But we're 0 and 9 in the qualifiers right now. So we're not 0 in 12. We're like 1 and 12. But yeah, we...

Phase in their little stint. at the start of the year they were they were looking you know not like phase they were looking bad and then they played the falcons and then they went on like a 12 game win streak on you we just need some momentum we need that falcon i keep saying we just need to see the ball go in the hoop get some confidence back yeah all i hear from ian is i don't know if momentum is a problem well yeah you you you like watch their raven series i saw that yeah and yeah there's definitely a lot of problems but they're just in their Dude, that first map on protocol, they should have been up

125. Well, they lost both P4s. Well, I mean... Us or them? No, but there was just so many moments where I'm just like, no teamwork, they have no idea what's going on. I mean... They're probably forcing shit. They're probably trying to force teamwork. Once you start trying to force teamwork and it's just like not natural, it's just worse gameplay.

And now I feel like they're just overthinking and over analyzing and it's just hurting them. It's like they're playing robotic cod. They're not playing that fucking. They won champs but they also made a team change and reverted the team change. Yeah. Like that's that's a lot

of fucking. But you can speak on it when you watch too much Vod and you're overthinking and overanalyzing you start playing robotic cod and then when you're in a match you're second guessing what you're supposed to do because you're watching so much Vod and well that's why I've always preached like keep your problems like simple like try to simplify everything. Like I had little rant where it's like someone was saying oh their chem is off and I was like what the fuck is chemistry even you know what I mean like like you can't say chemistry is off it's either

like teamwork it's either comms it's either fucking team positioning like there's so many things and it's just like you just say fucking their chemistry's fucked because they have a new player like that's not the problem the problem is something very specific and it's and I don't think it's one thing I think it's like three things. Yeah. And that's what I was saying, like, even if they beat Falcons, they need to fix those fucking things. But I think the biggest thing right now...

Oh, yeah, I'm not saying beating Falcons is going to be a one-all fix everything. But maybe that could be like some sort of just vibe reset because they've just been losing. And everyone's like, oh, the player cams, they look depressed. See the balls? Well, yeah, they're losing every fucking map. It's like... I think right now that...

They can't even get a map. I can't wait for the day when, you know, we're past all this, like, tension so I can make fun of Bruce. Well, I think I make fun of Bruce for a- I think the biggest thing right now is they have to accept the fact that they're going to be in losers. And I think, like, even if that's not true, right, they should accept that because it takes so much pressure off them to perform. And, like, the majors are the only thing that matters. Yeah. At least in my eyes.

So it's like- Oh, yeah. I mean, these league matches, I mean, they're going to make chance. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's like, okay, you're in losers, right? Let's just be as the best team as possible, right? So the pressure's off, we're not going to make winners, right? There's no challenge there.

So let's just try to beat every single team we play and try to be as, like, as good as we possibly can in the moment, like right now. And I think that's how they sort of have to start thinking. Yeah. I don't know. I agree. Take the pressure. Try to take the pressure off

Because already right now The amount of social pressure on the team Is just in fucking sane Did you see the part? I go into their chats And they're just like like AG's losing like 2 v2 bounties And they're like they're just cooking them

I'm like oh my God dude Did you see the part of the rant Where I was like yo you have to be As like the optic fan base You have to be very careful with that Because your competitors Are gonna see that shit too Like if I'm playing against optic

guess who I'm fucking shooting their body first I'm shooting Kenny's body first I'm shooting dashy's body first right like just trying to get in their head a little more yeah exactly exactly and it's just like you have to like I promise you guys right to everyone watching

you guys do not care more than the players then the people actually playing they want to win more than you guys want them no way you know so so it's that's something to consider it's not like they're not fucking trying They 100% are trying Yeah I got faith in them

I mean again It's like we've seen this before With this exact team too And major Major four qualls last year I think it was major four qualls But they had a fucking horrible stage And then they went to the major

Had a horrible major I remember that's when I was in Italy And I woke up They played Miami first round I'm like alright Miami We should win this series I woke up 3 2 I saw it on my phone

7 a.m. Postatano And I was I was like, I was like, are you, I was like, fuck. But then they came back and they won champs the following event.

So it's like, people, there was like, somebody on Reddit was like, trying to do like a deep dive conspiracy theory that the boys lost on purpose so they could go to your wedding. Yeah,

that's insane. I think they lost on purpose so they could catch a flight to Italy. But yeah, I got faith in them, man. It's just a tough, where was that at?

Where was that major at? It was the fucking local major where they, no fans, they were in the cage yelling at each other. Yeah. Remember that shit? It was made. It was made. It was a major. Yeah.

And then it got, it got canceled. Or the Carolina major. Yeah. I believe, man, what I don't want to happen though, or what might be interesting? I mean, obviously would just prefer like a quick little 3-0 against the Falcons. But if that first hard point starts off and then it's like 220 to 220, it's just, It's gonna be such a like intense moment. And I like, I almost.

We're just gonna be sitting there tweaking. As just sometimes for entertainment purposes, I almost kind of wanted to happen. Obviously don't want to lose the series, but like, I don't know, man. Hopefully we just come out and we just fucking destroy them. See, I think. But also it's the falcons.

So let's just have a close, low game one. But we pull it out in the end, just out. Even like if we somehow gave Falcons their first hard point win, it's just... I don't think that's going to happen. I don't think so. When we meet the Falcons, I'm going to tweet back on top. Hashtag green one. See, I think for Optic, if you really, like, I think this is what truly gets you better,

especially in like high pressure situations, is maps like that where it's 220, 220. Yeah. It's a fucking league play match, right? So there's so much add, and then it's. Falcons who's fucking 0-19, right? If Optic clutches up in a moment like that, that's how you actually gain

like true momentum. Yeah. So I was actually talking about it like Texas, you're in losers bracket. I would almost try to have like, I don't want to see them blow everybody out of the water from here on out.

Try to have a close. I want to see close matches where they're around 11 game five against my end. Where they clutch up. And then again, I mean, look at like historic runs at like champs for instance it's like dude whenever a team like last year our team they're down oh two versus thieves they reverse sweep and like right there that alone is like that could win you a turn of it's like call of duty is so fickle like

sometimes winning like that's more beneficial than like a three oh dude that's some shit pat would do aches he would do that in the complexity days where it's like okay fucking pool play versus randoms, right? And he's like I'm all right, I'm not going to try that hard. And the matches would actually be close and then we'd clutch up and just gain like pure momentum for the rest of the tournament. I always think that like go. Because you get

pushed to the brink. Yeah, yeah. And then you win it. And then and then clutching up becomes a habit. Yeah. Then you've played. Then you go around, then you go game five versus a better team. And now it's like, oh, we've already been here. We've been here fucking four times already in this one tournament. Do you ever that MW22 tournament where like Ghostie was still trying

find his footing like for our team and then he gets that two piece on the back uh car he remember vaguely yeah he gets like a two piece on the back car heady and then like all the sudden our team just like one 80 like literally went all the way to the finals we had never been phase this year yeah just go ahead and i think like go see was always amazing but then when he got that fucking he's been a different player he leveled up yeah he's like been a different player ever since yeah look at phase yeah look at face he was always amazing yeah look at this year. They're struggling at the beginning of the year. Simp pops a crazy

one versus four and then from that moment on they've looked like a completely different team. And I don't want to just give that credit to, you know, Simps one play that makes them, you know, insane because Faze is a great team. They're disgusting. But since then, they've just

looked crazy. Yeah. So it's like it's, it's, it's, it's, call of duty is just such a weird, e-spoil. Yeah. That team like went from almost making a team change. To like where they are now, same squad. Just fucking insane. Cod is so crazy.

But obviously there's a lot more to fix, but those moments like Porter is talking about, they can definitely... Yeah, yeah. They help a lot. So I got faith. I have faith. We play Falcons.

If we beat Falcons, we play Toronto. How good are they right now? They just got three-oed by thieves. I mean, they're like middle of the pack right now, I'd say. But they just got three-oed by thieves in their last match. So... Or was it 3-1? Was it your 3-0 or 3-1?

I can't remember. But yeah, Toronto's good. Joey D deceives good. I mean, see, the minor could be like that first step where it's like, come in, beat Falcons, beat Toronto, now we're top four. Now we're going to play like a, I think we'd play phase.

And then who knows, maybe we beat phase and then hopefully it gives us some of them. I feel like even like a beating phase or beating thieves. It's not off the fucking. table. I don't know. Did you see their fucking S&D? Who, phaser thieves?

Optics. Yeah, the S&D is worrying. That S&D, I was watching it like... Versed Carolina? Yeah, I was like, did they even go over S&D? Like, what the fuck is this? They're just so in their fucking heads. But like, I feel like if we have a good, like,

uh, minor tournament run, like it could, could instill something in them that makes them fucking believe again. I think they're just so in their heads. that other side of the bracket looks pretty crazy we have a good minor tournament i don't think there is like a good side right now for us how how is tege running the league right now dude that is crazy you dropped a 1.5 again dude he's fucking like well imagine if we had this tige on our team damn fucking hell dude dude we would have we would have made so much more money we would had probably a fucking ring if we had this tige on our team

yeah come on lay off my man t's i mean shout out to their improvement but like god damn tch you just play better with different people like i feel like playing with you fucks would be tough like if i'm tj and i'm playing with skump crim and who's the fourth damon it was five a five what the fuck karma dashy skump and crim six but somehow I'm supposed to the fucking

put up a fucking numbers but Teach is like he won a bunch of tournaments that in the World War II year he was like 12 it's still tough though I just don't understand why

Teage may have hit the latest peak as a player of all time You think he's peaked He's peaked He's on his 4 shit He's better than AWT

And how old is he He's got to be like 25 now 24 That's insane That's the high That's the latest peak of all time dude. That is fucking ridiculous. He's got to be like 27.

He's 25. Damn. That is the latest. He was born in 1999. That is the latest peak of any player, I'm telling you. Dude, a Bezzi's the second oldest sub in the league. Doesn't that piss you off? That's insane.

How old is he? He's 25 as well, I think. Jesus. Dude, Seth, do you ever think that if we were shorter, we'd be better at Cod? Lower center of gravity. I would have been a fucking God. The nervous system from brain to fingertip is shorter, too. It's quick, yeah.

You're more comfortable with your. I'd be so fucking imagine oh my God your legs should spit perfectly off the fucking chair I should have drank all that fucking 2% as a kid small little hands

but yeah to put a bell on it I hope the boys bounce back this weekend all eyes are on them they know that and then I mean this weekend is

is not obviously we want to see them do good at the minor but we need to see we want them to do good in the league matches because that's the only way

they make winners yeah true the minor yeah If they win it, get some momentum. Get some momentum. Get some, maybe get like 10, 20. What's the rest of our league matches? We play Miami.

L.A.G is our last match. We play thieves in there. And then I can't remember our other one. Might be like a cloud nine maybe. So it's doable. I mean, Miami's look pretty good. Cloud nine's hitting. I don't know who we play exactly.

Cloud nine's been on an upswing. Everyone's decent. LAG right now is still struggling. So that should be good. Oh, it's Toronto. It's not even Cloud 9. Oh. So, yeah, that's a tough. Never mind.

Our next three are tough. Miami's looked pretty good. Toronto's looked, you know, a little bit all over the place, but Toronto's usually pretty good. Thieves obviously top two in the league right now. Oh, my shit. L.A.G. been struggling still, so. Damn. Yeah, it's a.

I believe. I believe. I think they could beat Miami. I think they could beat Toronto if they play fucking, you know. to their standards. LAT right now might be a tough task, but then L.A.G, I think... We've beaten LAT this year, right?

Yeah, but that's when we were, like, playing good and shit. That's true. Right now, it's... Who knows? Yeah, that's fucking true. But we've got to win three of them, minimum. We need to win one of those matches,

like an LAT or something. Like, even though it looks like we're struggling, I think, like, if we play a team like that, will hopefully rise to the level of competition that we're playing and hopefully like pull out a big win like that. I think if we get a big win like that, it'll smooth out. Yeah, you're thinking too far ahead right now.

If they don't get a fucking win, if they don't get a win under the park, let's work it's on Falcons. Yeah, you're thinking way too far. Let's beat Falcons. See how the Toronto series goes. I'm looking at fucking mid-March and shit. No, we get a dumb.

How, wait, Nick, how's the Halo team been looking? Have you been watching or no? They look great. I've been watching. They played Trippie's team yesterday. They look great. I was watching a little bit. I think they, when I was watching, they were up like seven or eight one map count against Trippie's team.

Jeez. I saw, yeah, I saw Legend had like two different fucking overkills. I don't know if there's a screws. Yeah, the one with the snipe? Yeah. Can you pull that up? It's on the optic Twitter. He, like, jumps off a ledge and snipes two people in the head before he lands.

like what the fuck how do you say like let's go in French I don't know I think that Louis really yeah yeah yeah yeah

look this shit finds two jumps off what like what the fuck that shit was sick and then he beats alien a 1v1 on con

yeah making my my full-time full-time return. Oh shit, is that map back in? What was that? Is that, what was it, solitude or something? Cally? Coliseum? Yeah, Coliseum from Yeah, there's a lot of new maps. What the fuck that I just think of?

That's insane. Yeah, I'm making my full-time return to Halo next week. Gonna be, I'm gonna be like the Seth of Halo, just like less viewers and shit. But it's gonna be like, following what's gone. In morning time, I'll be playing, like, ranked and shit. And then, like, once they start scrimming, I'm probably just turn into a little watch

parties or something. Can you coach me? Coach you? Tuesday, Thursdays, give me to Onyx? In Halo. Yeah. I don't know if you will. You might as well hire Ace TV to coach you.

I don't know if you want me. I would hire him for other reasons. I don't know if, I don't know if you want me coaching you in HALO. I'm going to be so bad. Yeah, you're going to be. It's going to be. I've been playing Halo 3 still. I haven't touched a controller in fucking forever.

Dude, even when I was streaming a month ago, a squat rack in forever. Damn! This is, I think that's his first, third jab at my legs. The thing is, I can squat more than you, squat, he keeps looking at your hands.

The sickest part, he has to loom up. Is I squat more than him, run faster, jump higher, no, you don't. Drive faster. Deadlift more. More tats. more tats. He's got more tats. He's got more tats. It just doesn't

end. He's got more tats. But let's switch up the vibe. Let's talk about some Girl Scout cookies now. Yeah, they're killing you. Oh, you know what's crazy is I haven't bought Girl Scout. I guess it's not. I guess it's the same vibe. It's not the vibe switch. Dude, this shit, this shit ruined me, bro,

because it wasn't just any Girl Scout cookies. It was the best ones. The Samoa's? No. The Smokers? No. on Girl Scout cookies where they bring out what's in them you think the things are the fucking best they're fucking toxic as fuck thin mints being the worst offender no

dude those are my favorite bro I eat those all the time back up back I like the um Trey foils or whatever they are EPA water safety limits new investigation found 100% of tested Girl Scout cookies Glyphosate 100% controversial herbicide and round up 88% contain toxic metals like arsenic lead

and mercury. Ah, jeez. Findin-mints had the highest glyphosate levels at 111.07 PPB, uh, 334 times what experts say is harmful peanut butter. 330. 334. And dude, this came out after, this came out right after I just ate an entire pack of thin mince.

No, I'm like, get the fuss. This is what I'm saying. You have forever medals and kemater. I got for it, dude, 334 times. Bro, Shea has two daughters. He's been bringing thin men's in like nothing. Bro, this is what I've been crushing them. I haven't had girls.

She's trying to kill me. I haven't had Girl Scout cookies in years. I don't even remember last time I like said the words Girl Scout cookies. The other day, literally like three days ago, four days ago, three days ago, I was in a Tom Thumb and they were selling Girl Scout cookies. I was like, you know what? Let me support. And I bought some. And I just destroyed the entire box like same night.

See? You got to stop binging like that. Just, dude. You're on your binge. Just destroyed them. Just eat like three. And a day later. A day later, shit like this starts popping up.

I'm like, I haven't bought or eight girls got cookies since like fucking high school or some shit. Well, it is like. And now suddenly the day I eat them, the day after suddenly they fucking kill you. Aren't they seasonal? Like this is the time of year. I mean, it makes sense why they're doing all the, the cherry dry. They're ringing the bell off. Oh, that's Santa.

Actually. I think, wait, bring up a, let's do this, bring up all the Girl Scout cookies. Let's see, I want to see what y'all's favorite is. Thin mints. Thin mints, the ones that are pieces of, chunks of metal in them, apparently. Thin mints are not my favorite. Metal mints. Dude, I love me, little mercury.

I like the, uh, those ones are the, scroll down. Dude, when I could taste the lemon ones. What are these? Scroll down. The tray foils. Oh, they're so good and so like not. extra it's just the perfect cookie those toffitastic ones are probably crazy too

look at all those metals in those holes there's so much so many hidden metals in there so good I've never seen the toast yet I like the lemon cookie with a side of the lead yeah comments below what's your favorite Girl Scout those caramel delights those things are fucking those things yeah those things are at top okay so you said you said what like those slap yeah those are pretty good

They got coconut, though. I like the lemonade. The limonades are better than the limous. Dude, Dana likes the tag-alongs. I don't like those. Which one of those? The peanut butter patties. Oh, yeah, those are fire too.

Yeah, those are good. Those are heat. Do you know what I like only every once in a while? Are those big boxes of chocolate, like the Valentine's Day ones that you like take the lid off and there's all these different like different chocolates? Like a once every five years type of like once every five years, those hit though. Oh shit. Once every five years. You get the, there's only like three chocolates.

good ones in the whole thing. Yeah, but those three. You'll bite one. It's like cherry inside. I've heard from multiple people that sees candy is the best candy. Have you ever had it? Yeah, I have. Can you look at S-E?

It's actually really good. S-E-S candy. You'll see it in the mall. Dude, dude, that shit, do not, whatever you do, if you want. This shit is the best, apparently. If you want to get your girl chocolates for Valentine's Day, you have to order these ahead. at time. Is that so a thing? Like that place is, it's hell

on earth on Valentine's Day. It is, it is, it's like a bad day at the post office. Ian standing in. It is. There's just so many people. Yeah, my dad used to get those for my mom. And I remember, I just have memories of standing in line for 45 minutes for a fucking box of chocolates. Yeah, apparently it's

godlike. But all right, don't eat, uh, don't eat Girl Scout cookies anymore, people. That is kind of been Thanks for the vibe switch though. Dude, that nade shot clip is fucking hilarious. Yeah, let's bring the other vibes back. That nade clip is hilarious. Yeah, that really is.

That shit went viral. I guess we haven't seen it. Yeah. His reaction to it sort of made the clip. Yeah. I don't think that goes viral if it wasn't for the reaction. He's like, oh no, that looks bad. And it's funny, why is he saying this in fucking chat?

Oh, wait, that looks really bad. Why is he on a second? account talking shit. Someone goes, wait, Nage is slurred. Dude. That shit's insane, bro. Bro, imagine you're offline not recording.

And like, you just like that. Oh, dude. Isn't that Nage shots account? Well, can you turn off like the filtering? Like, can you turn off like? I don't think, I mean, I don't know. Because I was going to say someone, someone would probably be like, nah, this is what he said.

VAL. Or not Valor and Jesus. that is like Marvel rivals can probably see the actual text. Oh yeah, I would be messaging somebody. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, this shit just happened.

My chat history, please. It's just the way he spelled it. Like, why do you spell it fucking? He was trying to get around that. Around the, he was trying to get around the filter.

Yeah. And instead it just made it so much. Oh, wow. Oh, whoa, that looks really bad. Is it was Marvel, I was still like slapping?

Yeah, for sure. Corey, I think Corey Dunn told me that last week was the first week, Overwatch 2 got more. Well, I think Overwatch 2 had like something come out because I saw like Tim played it for a bit. I saw Sinatra hop over on it for a little for like a day and then they didn't play it again. So I think they had like some event or something came out. Overwatch 2.

Where's Blackop 6? Where's Halo then? Oh yeah. So, Overwatch 2. Dude, I'm getting back on Counterstrike. Oh, no. My rival's still above Overwatch. This Counterstrike's still popping?

Dude, no, it's been on the rise. Since 2001. Well, I feel like, because didn't Counterstrikes, like, competitive seasons start back up again? I don't know. I feel like I've been seeing more Counterstrike tournaments. It's like Valoran. It's like, it's like, everything is, like, caught. It's like, whenever the competitive season isn't going on, hype around the game just kind of fades away.

And then whenever the comp season's back, everyone comes back. Yeah, it's like What games aren't like that though Fucking Fortnite Like that are always just popping That are just always Because like We we have a tendency to look at games

And always a competitive light Like what games are like always going on Well at least I'm talking about Twitch Specifically Yeah yeah that same I'm not even talking about like player counts But what games are always popping Like GTA

I guess this fucking not Dude it's crazy It's crazy how insane Koso has been With just playing those like old fucking like just like the shitty like scary games have you ever seen history yeah I watch him pretty pretty frequently he just plays like shitty scary games

he plays like three of them a night and then just plays Minecraft like dude that's such a good wave too that's the best fucking job just like go on play the shit game and make jokes about be funny yeah and then just once you're done you're like all right time to play Minecraft for an hour when he was playing one of those games and he like went into some like grocery

store in it just casually walking around looking at the groceries and it's like uh i don't know i forget what the item was but it was like casso's face on a box of donuts or something and he was like what the fuck is it like the in-game devs or whatever like i guess knew he might play it or whatever and they put his face on like a box of fucking like snacks i don't know he has to have like people that tell him like when games are coming out and shit right yeah how do they know whenever like new scary games like that are coming out. Well, I think they're like browser games. I think so. Nah, no way.

I'm pretty sure they're all on Steam. I mean, Big T's doing the same shit. Yeah, Big T's dude. Have you seen what Big time is doing? Pull it up for me. He's big, dude. Will has this like fucking, he just plays like simulator games. That's all.

He plays a game. He was buying a game where you just dig a hole. Dude, that game you just keep digging into a hole. That game's kind of turd though. Like, what could a road trip? Road trip simulator. He's doing a streamer simulator. Streamer sim.

He's a streamer simulator. This PC cost me $10,000. Streamer Life simulator number eight. Yeah, like he went, he's a Counterstrike Pro. There's the dig the whole game. I want to, can you click on the... Oh, I've seen that game where you like literally dig the hole. Go get like gold or something, bring it back up.

Yeah. You click the road trip shit? Damn, is Big T. gonna, um... Dude, I've seen a... Strike the chance. watching this content. I've seen someone, I've seen someone do one of these. No, he's like, you have to like pack your car.

You have to go to the nearest gas station. You have to make sure you can make it to the gas station. What the hell is this? This is like, this is well. It is fucking introspection. He's got the radio playing and shit. He's inspired, plus inspired. Life used to be this.

simple though for real this is how I that's how I felt when I was about 14 I wonder will has like the perfect like channel you just put it on in the background you put it on before you go to bed and you just like watch him do like he doesn't even try to like yeah like he's not like no he's doing the entertainment

fucking screaming he's just playing again and he's really funny there's little like one off jokes yeah it's such will fucking content Okay.

Hell yeah, Will. Hell yeah. Love me a little bit of big time. You're all excited for Fordance to come back? Very. I actually am excited. I'm hyped. I just hope they don't fuck it up, which...

They're gonna. Which right now, yeah. They're gonna. They're gonna fuck it up? Yeah, I just think the cheating's so bad. And, I mean, they already, they already said that it's not like one for one for dance. They already said there's like, minor changes, which I don't think will be too big of a deal.

Why can't they make it one for one, dude? It is pretty much the OG March. Pretty much. So what is the, what lies within pretty much? Well, here's a problem. Well, here's a problem with the one-to-one shit, right? Is maybe the overall buildings and layouts and all that shit is exactly the same. But if the map is not one-to-one in terms of scale, then all the distances change.

I think it will be for that, right? Dude, I don't think so. No? Because I don't think the guns shoot as far as they did in Brantz. Oh, so you're saying they might tune it? Yeah, they might like decrease the distance because there is like more sort of recoil than there was back then. Yeah. Like back then you could, that little ravine with the railroad, like the train going by.

Like do you remember you could go on top of those block buildings and take a gra and shoot it all. the top of the mountain. Yeah, you could shoot fucking... Yeah, which nowadays, I don't... I don't think you can even shoot that far. Like, there's no point in even trying to take that fight. But back then, it was like... I remember crossing that train, the railroad,

like being the scariest shit ever, that valley. Because you're like, dude, I could get fucking lasered from anywhere. Yeah. I think it's going to be fire. I mean, it's just going to bring back a lot of people. I think. So again, it's like, I just hope they don't fuck it up

because this is their opportunity for Verdantz to come back, get that nostalgia hit. Everyone's going to come back to the game. It's the same shit every year. Yeah, but if it's... They find some way to get you back. But if it's good,

people will play it. Yeah. So I'm hoping it's fucking good because I want to play this. Like, I'm looking forward to this. Fucking Verdansk. Yep. I run that show.

I always enjoyed that map. even there's so many different names of war zone shit but then like maps that like we did like a war zone trivia or some shit in some video and I was just like I don't remember that I don't remember that either

I kind of remember that but Verdant's the Superstore like all that like it's the one it's got to be the number one war zone map of all time I think it's the number one

hot take maybe number one battle royale map that's a very that's the hottest take I've ever heard I don't think towers it's not beating Fortnite Tilted Tower I was trying to hype it up

Listen I don't care what I don't care What them kids say bro Fuck them kids You're taking that over Tilted Tows I'm taking Kings Canyon over Vardtane What the fuck is Kings Canyon is that's Is that from? Is that from Apex?

I love me some Kings Canyon Apex players hate it I fucking love it. It's so bad in ranked. You just get third party immediately. But ranked is just, all it is is three peas. Well, scroll down, Matt.

So we got the HCR sniper, the growl, the AMAX, and the kilo. So a lot of the old metagons rumored to be returning. Like, where are all the subs in there, though? There's no subs. It's all ARs. I feel like no one runs subs.

Imagine they brought back the OGMW 2019 MP5. Do that meta? And it was like kilo MP5 with the Burt, Underbarrel No, my favorite was the graw, dude

The grall The grall The grot Well, my true Truthfully my actual favorite Was the M4 Remember like the first meta Where it was like

M4 M4 no stock With snipers That shit was so much fun MP7 MP7 Silencer with a car snipe

That was my favorite Yeah, you were definitely terrible I was smoking on your pack MP7 The car MP7 car That was a

fucking meta. 10 mil MP5. Yeah, I mean, you had an extra movement. That MP5 was... The MP5 was blessed. What was the other one that it kind of had like

the 74 U iron site? I had 40 bullets. What the fuck was it called? Oh, dude, that was late. I can't remember what you're talking about that. You know what I'm talking about. You move like quick as fuck with it? Yeah, yeah.

I can't remember. What was that gun called? Hmm. But I hope, hopefully they bring back some of the older metas too, which that's asking for, a lot because obviously they're going to integrate all the B-O-6 shit into the game, but hopefully

the game is good. Cheaters are the biggest concern, and they're still the biggest concern, so. I think for me, dude, there's just too much shit in Warzone now. Yeah, I agree. Like, there's like, perk packages, fucking zip lines. There's a lot of stuff in Cod. Like, yeah, there's just, there's just too much

shit. It's like, I don't know. In Verdansk, it felt like it was very hard to find money to, like, buy things as well. And nowadays it's like, dude, you might get a couple kills and end up with $40,000 in your bank account.

And it's just like, what do I even buy here? Six UAVs? There's definitely like a balance for sure. I want, is, is Fortnite still running with their like OG map? Because I remember I heard. They brought back OG Fortnite like three

or four times. Because I remember, I don't know. I heard like a few months ago that they're like bringing it back permanently. Again. But it will not change. And I don't know what, I don't know why. Yeah. I don't know if it's still like that, but.

I don't know what's going on. I haven't watched Fortnite in a while. So I'm not really keeping up with that. But yeah, I'm excited. It's been pretty fun. What is? Apex has been pretty fun. Yeah?

I actually kind of enjoy it. Really? I mean, I've always thought it was kind of fun. Yeah, I just don't know what the off-season game is going to be right now. Like, what's, is it still going to be rivals? Like, what's going to be the off-season for cod? Should that worry you? Does that scare you? I mean, no, we're going to be playing war zone and shit.

Not really. Oh, we're going to run it back? I'm playing Minecraft. We had like a month stint. Yeah, that was fun. I'm still so mad that Area 99 came out. We were all playing it, and then fucking four days later rank drops. There goes my friends. Yeah.

Back to Solo Area 99. They're not going to do that again. They're going to drop ranked delayed next year, I think, just based off how bad it was. went this year. It's like ranked is already like kind of dead. Dog, I don't know what they were thinking. Fucking idiots. I don't know what they were thinking. Yeah. Like obviously you don't want to wait that long, but

they released it. Like two weeks into the game. Two weeks into the game and we knew that they were going to be hackers. Everyone, when they put out like there's no console only, like that doesn't exist. Everyone was like, well, how are we supposed to play ranked? Because there's going to be hackers. Yeah. And it was

just dead silence and then they released it and there was hackers. Yeah, I don't think they're going to release it. It's funny everyone used to roast them about dropping it so late. And then they drop it early. They just got even more roasted. They just don't know what to do. That's how it would be, man. Well, at the bottom line,

is they have to fix the hacking problem. That is the bottom line. Everything, everything gets better if there's no hackers. They dropped area 99. Everyone was playing it. Could have lasted a month and a half. I think that's the cool thing about, then you can drop ranked.

About EA or respawn? You didn't like Area 99? I liked it. Whoever makes Apex is they released a statement about hackers. Are you eating Girl Scout cookies? Okay, good. Yeah, then mint. Thank goodness.

Matt Craig, where are we at? All right. You can do your... Oh, yeah. The old R&L drops returning. Yeah, last thing I want to talk about. We got the R&L drop returning this weekend, this weekend only. We got the...

Obviously, we're going with that Texas theme. We usually do it around the theme of the tournament that's coming up. Got some fire designs in there based around Texas, so I'm hype, man. Yeah, let me give me on that piece. We had to plan it around the optic drop, so we got the minor. You can take a look at some of the designs, man. That shit's that fire. Let me see what I want.

Let's see what Bose can hook me up with. Bro, tell me that shit ain't. Is there a hoodie? Bows, give me on this PR list. Bows, give me on this PR list. These are just the T-shirts right here. Obviously, we got to get a Mr. Skelly design in there with the Dallas skyline. I like that one.

But yeah, man, we're always excited. The R&L drops, they're like my favorite merch that I've ever done in collaboration with them. It's like a staple in the cod season. Yeah, no, for sure. The R&L drop? Yeah, it's only going to be available this weekend. So if you want to pick it up, we'd appreciate it and make sure you get it, man. Because I hope to see some of you guys at the major rocking it because that's kind of why we do it around the major.

So when we get to the major, we get to see people rocking it and themed out. Yeah, so you better buy that shit. When's it drop? Thursday or Friday? Friday. Better buy that shit Friday. Get it shipped to you immediately. Have it for the event. That's right.
