Blake with blue hair
Yeah Blake's gonna like
Dives if we
I mean they're
They're ambitious goals
I was thinking about bleats
who are
coloring my eyebrows
Or something
Yeah should I be Trump
Ladies and gentlemen
Let's just cut you off
Right the fuck there
Welcome in
It's episode number
10097
Of the Optic Podcast
And this one comes
Before a monumental time
In our timeline
The Race
To Master
prestige brought to you by Shopify Rocket Money and Hems.
We got the RTP boys.
It's about to be a nice, long.
Oh, it's going to be a wonderful time.
Besides, tush.
This is like a,
shout out tush.
Tush is here in spirit.
This is like a 12 year old me's literal dream.
Oh yeah.
A sleepover,
a sleepover with your friends.
A new call duties coming out.
It is like.
Imagine you're 14 doing this.
How much dope you would get.
Oh, man.
I used to go over to my friends.
house with just like a monitor and an Xbox and be
it'd be so different though
because we'd actually have to go to GameStop, wait
outside in the line, we get our copy it
hopefully, I mean it depends
how long the line is, hopefully get your
copy, drive back home
as fast as you possibly can. I'm sure
the speeding tickets went up on Call
Duty release night and then
try to get on and get on early.
But now we just download the game and
maybe take a trip to New Zealand.
We'll be taking a trip to me. I imagine it
was like that still and like the stream started with
us at GameStop in line and we get our game.
That would be kind of a cool.
That would go off.
That would be insane.
That would be so dope.
That's going to be fun, man.
I don't know at what point when it's going to become like, holy fuck, we're still here doing this.
I think after day three.
Yeah, I think after day three, it's going to be, we're going to be locked in.
Because day one, it would be so different.
But day one, it's not a day.
We start at 6 a.m.
Like, we are starting at 6 a.m.
And we're doing a pre-stream.
before i was gonna say we're starting at 8 p.m i'm a suit i'm like well no we're so we have to sleep like
we have we have to sleep but we can't all sleep that first night i was gonna say we can't y'all go to sleep
i'm just up there nick and i's time to shine you guys you think so air horns yeah because you're gonna
gonna you're gonna want first shift so you got to sleep yeah i think you're gonna want second shift so you
have to sleep too so both of y'all have to sleep well my plan right now and i don't know and tuch is on
his workout shit so he's for sure gonna sleep this is this is this is my
My plan right now, what I want, that's, hopefully the mic stays on.
What I want to do is because it starts at 6 a.m., he takes the first shift.
I feel like you're probably going to want to go six to eight, knowing you, you might go for 10 because, like, it's going to be hype and you might go a little longer.
I want to do the shift after you that I want to go right into, like, launch tournaments.
But you think, you think I'm going to go for 10 hours, day one?
I never know with you.
You're like the American Psycho, dude.
An hours of pubs.
He fucking loves that.
Yeah, but I can do that easy.
He loves that.
Especially new games.
The first two days.
I was playing the beta for like 8 to 10 hours.
It's a lot different when there's 40,000 watching.
But you were telling me behind, oh, no, no.
I'm sitting there with 130.
God, I'm bored.
Got a headache.
Head hurts, hands hurt.
I'm just complaining.
That's what I'm worried about, my hands.
Because after like six, seven hours of war zone, my hands start to throw.
The good thing is...
We'll get a hand masseuse to come in.
So you have your shifts and then there's going to be a lot of tournaments going on.
So like you're going to want to watch our boys playing a tournament for a couple rounds.
You know, you're going to have like an optic.
phase matchup that we're all going to want to watch.
That's going to be so lit whenever we get like a crazy watch party opportunity and like
they play yeah like phase or the new LAT.
we all get to sit there and watch it.
That does happen.
What are we going to do?
Watch it together and fucking go crazy.
Like couch,
couch big stream.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I think we put it pull it up on the cat.
Matt, how are you expecting that?
So say the optic boys are playing in a kickoff tournament.
They match up against LA Thieves.
And we, the guy, everybody wants to.
watch it on the couch.
Is there a way?
Someone always has to be playing.
But is there a way to show
what's happening on the main screen?
Because then we would technically have to have
three things. Because the person's going to be
on the race. Say it's my shift.
I'm on the race.
So we have to show the gameplay
somewhere. Unless we just say fuck
the gameplay. Gameplay can be small. Just to show people that we're
still playing. Gameplay can be small and then
the webcam can be in the bottom right.
And then the, and then shot C stream.
So it's like picture in picture and then like what we're reacting to.
What we're reacting to.
Okay. So it can be, it can be done.
Us down here and then.
I think moments like that are going to be the most fun of this whole thing.
Oh no, of course.
Yeah.
I actually didn't mind your idea of just like watching a scary movie.
See, everyone, okay, no, everyone misconstrued.
No, everyone misconstrued what I said.
Okay.
I thought of it as like, I'm going to sit there with Nick for three hours and watch a movie and do
nothing. I would be doing that when I would be in my bunk is what I was like that's what I would be
doing when I'm just like chilling doing nothing. I was thinking like day five we watched like the
haunting or like the scariest movie. Sinister. Yeah and like whoever shift it is and imagine that how
funny it would be if like whoever shift it is is playing and the rest of us are like on the
couch is behind them with like popcorn and shit and we have like a little count up you can watch with
us and like during a scary part we all jump i feel like clips like that would be hilarious yeah
that's that's that's not a horrible idea i thought you were gonna sit just the way zin's
because zin said it it sucked yeah literally i feel like any i just feel like any idea we have we
have to like everyone just fucking jumped on them yeah we didn't jump it going for like two days in the
chat like yeah yeah no let's just watch movies on i jumped you for the cooking stream idea
Dude, James was going in on it.
Well, there's going to be...
James was going in on it.
He thinks he's Mr. Beast.
I need to have a...
Buddy,
calm down.
James does have 300K subs on YouTube, though.
That's all right.
I knew he had some.
I didn't think it was 300K.
Or like 250 or something like that.
That's insane.
Producer.
The way I think about this is we all have like our individual set.
Like we have our shift.
Whatever.
How long...
I'm not sure if we're going to do like...
six hours the whole thing.
We're just gonna feel it out.
I want to feel it out.
If Seth's itching to play and I'm like, I'm fucking done.
Like I just went 12 and 32.
Like I'm getting small and trap.
Like, all right, man,
as long as someone's playing all the time and it's as long as someone's not,
just like not doing their shifts.
Like my idea is like,
well, that can't happen.
No, of course.
If someone is not willing to do their shifts,
we have a problem.
We have a big problem.
We need a fake something to where like someone doesn't want to do it.
So we all get like sock.
boppers and just jump them or something.
Can you queue up together? Like if you're on
if you're on the race, I can cue up with you while you're doing it.
Yeah. I wouldn't sure if I'd be like a solo. I don't know.
No, I think we should like find
because when I used to watch the race with like
scene ainters in them like they would always
have a full lobby. So I think we should play with like other
creators like whoever's on like if Seth is on the
the main shift like if like Tim and like
symphony and people want to play. But then you have the other
side of it. If you're
playing with other creators, they're stealing
kills and it's slowing the process of the race.
Unless you play with Tim and fucking Jack and
Legion. That's fucked up.
What?
Sorry, Tim Jack. Jack, I couldn't believe it.
You guys are good players. I don't know.
I'm not saying if you're cue it up with Shotsie and symphony and
Jackson to be at the World Series. Jack is not going to be playing the race to
mass prestige. He already, I already.
Wait, really? He's not. I mean, I'm sure he'll play, but he's going to the World Series.
He's got the Yankees hookup. Probably one of the coolest hookups I've seen in my life.
He's getting posted by the Yankees.
Thank you at Yankees.
Seats behind home plate.
That's so insane.
ALCS.
It's like, oh, that's so sick.
That's so far.
World Series, too.
When you're a little kid, man.
We're going to have the World Series going.
The World Series starts on the 25th.
You know, I was thinking about the World Series starts.
We have Sundays, obviously, football.
Football.
Saturdays we get to watch ECU lose.
So like, I don't know.
Yeah.
No, mind.
We'll talk.
I have.
How are the Eagles do?
Some ideas.
They have four.
and three.
They just beat my shit giants.
Yeah, they just beat the, they just slam the giants.
But they were injured a couple weeks, so they were injured, but yeah, they're four and three
right now.
I think they play the Bengals next week, which should be a win.
Senguins, kind of, Sequon just bawled all over his old team.
Sequan's like the best running back in the league right now.
Him and Derek Henry are filthy.
You can't really watch that on stream, though, right?
No, but we can pull it up on the, it'll be one of those things.
Like, what if we do like a bar stool type thing?
We're not going to.
I'm not sure if it makes sense for us, but what if we do like a barstool?
bar stool type world series viewing one night.
I'm so,
we're all reacting to the world series.
If I'm not sure.
As long as we have, like for those
moments, we can't go full webcam.
No. Gameplay has to be full screen still and we can be
sitting there and they can hear us in a boom mic like watching
something else. But like,
again, we already have like content moments where it's going to kind of take
away from the gameplay a little bit. But like people
want to watch Cod. It's. Yeah.
When we do these content moments, say like a
workout class or whatever, is everyone
participating. It's whoever wants to.
Okay. Well, I feel like everyone should
participate, but we have Pomage
come in and play for two hours or something.
No, well, I mean...
I feel like these little things, the people doing
the race need to participate
and we can have a filler play in
like Pomage or Bose or Dashie
or Shotsie. Yeah, no. I'll play
while we have to do these.
I'm down for that.
But like if Seth, or
if Zen is like on like a fucking
hitter and his his stream is
like pop in and he's like getting a lot of kids.
If I'm on a 500 sub train, I'm not stopping
to go do Pilates. Exactly.
I know. Yeah, I know. But, but
I think the rest of
people still should because like we're
hiring some people to come in and like
do a Pilates class or like do
or like shave your head or like.
It should be like, it should be like, it should just be
basis to basis. I think and I think
this is our first time doing it in a while and it's our
first time doing it like this. So there's going to be a, there's going to be
like a little bit of a learning. I feel
like after the first couple days when we get into the rhythm
and it's like we feel
we actually see it and feel it out
it'll it'll like
it'll just naturally
get smooth because like
the first couple days are probably going to be ridiculous
I feel like right now we're going to be all over the place
we're not going to know what the fuck to do do I play in kickoffs
do I go play on stream
especially do I have to go do Pilates do I fucking
especially if we go to New Zealand and only one of us
there's only one New Zealand account
because I think that's how it's going to be right
I mean not all of us are going to go
unless we do it on every PC
I think only one PC is a New Zealand PC.
So yeah, what?
Everyone's going to be sitting there just hanging out.
So from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.
There's one account.
Yeah.
So we have no choice.
Until the game officially drops, we're not going to be in New Zealand on every account.
Oh, you're saying only the main accounts would be made.
Yeah, like the first one ticket.
Because we're starting Wednesday.
One ticket.
We're starting Wednesday at 8 p.m.
We're probably going to, are we doing the IRL like?
Yeah.
We can't if we want.
Yeah.
I think we should because we don't even have.
fucking water right now. No, we are. So we're doing
we actually like, I'm drinking
a fucking diet mountain do at 10 a.m.
We literally don't have
whatever, we got here for the podcast this morning
and we don't, there's no, there's not a single
water bottle in this entire place.
Rogers tell me earlier, tomorrow night
we're all coming here and I think we started like
eight and we're all going grocery shopping. My God, it's tomorrow.
Yeah. Yeah, it's tomorrow. Holy
That's what I'm saying. Like today I'm kind of,
I'm kind of like tweaking today.
I know, I can tell. Because like, today's
like spa day. Or like, give
my whole setup.
Well, it's just like,
usually the release of Kod,
like,
yeah,
it's amazing,
but it's also very stressful,
at least for me,
just because everyone expects me to like,
do this,
do that, do this,
do that.
And it's like,
now with this added on to that,
it's like,
it's,
it's,
I'm stressed.
Like,
I don't know how it's going to be.
I think if you find out where,
whenever that kickoff tournament is,
that the other boys are playing in,
I do think you should at least schedule your everything around that.
Because people would want to see that.
There's just going to be so much time that like if you want to play in a tournament,
play in a tournament.
Not only will that help you,
but it's like we can full screen watch you play a tournament.
Yeah.
And that would be better than us sitting at our station.
That pubs.
Exactly.
Just like doing whatever the fuck we're doing.
Like it would be better.
We're all on the couch.
You're in the,
the thing is like we'd be like you clutch up or y'all went around.
We all said, ah.
Right.
But it's like, yeah.
We might have to control ourselves a little bit.
But yeah, if there's like a tournament, I think you should just do whatever the hell you want.
Because I think that would benefit everyone.
Yeah.
What if while you're sleeping, I'm on your setup and you have no idea because I'm whispering.
And the whole thing is I'm below your setup.
I'm going to have like ear earbuds in.
I have earplugs.
What if that's asleep?
I go to his type in my Twitch.
That's my plan.
Whenever he's sleeping, whenever he's sleeping, I want his setup.
What's up?
Guys, he's sleeping.
But my setup when I'm sleeping is going to be the main, like whenever you're a sleep.
sleep, it's going to be the mainstream.
What do you mean?
When you're asleep, what are you going to put a sleeping cam on?
Oh, yeah.
You're going to throw the mainstream on and go to fucking sleep.
I was thinking about having a sleeping cam, actually.
That would kill your viewership.
Well, no, I would.
Also, what about your burglars?
No, no, no, no.
It wouldn't be like that.
I would do like two webcams where I would just have like a little webcam
above or below the mainstream webcam.
So you can watch me sleeping and watch the mainstream.
I thought you meant you were going to full screen yourself sleeping.
I'm like, who's going to watch that one.
Yeah, no one's watching that.
No one's watching that.
I'd watch it.
I'd watch you sleep.
I feel like I'd watch it.
This is going to be so fun, dude.
I think we should have webcams like that.
That's what I,
like a little picture and picture like in the bottom right.
I want to like get in my bed.
Obviously, that's probably too much.
Get in my bed, prepare to go to sleep.
But like I got a webcam up there.
I got a mic.
Skull and TikTok just like talking to chat.
You can do that.
That's why I asked about the clip on mics.
For moments like that.
Like when I just want to be in the bunk bed talking,
or what I want to just, I don't know.
I'm picturing it just like free-lo.
I'm probably just going to sit at my setup until I'm super tired.
The way that I see it, though, is you're going to want a break.
Like, you're going to, we're going to be live for so long.
Like, you're going to want to go up into bed and, like, enjoy your 30 minutes to an hour before you fall asleep.
I'm bringing my laptop.
I'm watching TV.
I'm living life here.
Primarily Cold Duty player, streamer.
But if I need 30 to go watch Kirby or enthusiasm, I'm going to go up up to bed
and watch Cairb real quick.
Hell yeah.
I just want to know.
I'm curious how long
it's actually going to take.
You're going to come to the race and watch TV.
What?
Like in bed.
You're going to come to the race and watch Curb your enthusiasm.
Nobody's scrolling TikTok.
When I'm in bed.
It's the same thing.
If I'm in bed, I'm going to watch an episode of TV
or I'm going to scroll TikTok or FaceTime my girlfriend or
low off time.
30 minutes.
Yeah, yeah, 30 minutes.
Like 30 minutes to an hour's fine.
Let my man relax.
Wind down.
No, I kind of meant like when I'm going to bed is what I meant.
I didn't mean like I'm just to tell my stream.
I'll be right back.
I'm going to go watch Caribier Enthusiases.
Yeah, like, because you're not going to go up like,
I meant like you're not going to go up to your bunk bed and immediately fall asleep.
Like, it's probably going to take you.
I'm worried about my sleep because I'm such a like light sleeper.
It takes me so long to fall asleep with all the lights around, the computer lights,
all of you guys hit snoring.
Like this might suck.
I have ear plugs.
That's my only worry is sleep because I'm just a bad sleep.
I have ear plugs and then the fucking big AirPods that have like noise cancel and I have an eye mask.
I'm good.
Yeah, you won't be able to hear shit.
You're not going to hear shit and get all that.
Hit up Target.
I've got enough ear plugs for everybody.
So if you need like ear plugs.
Yeah, we probably need so.
So we really haven't even like talked about it.
We've just been kind of bullshitting about like what we think it's going to be.
but like who knows we have no clue i think a few days in like we think we have all these things
planned out and stuff which is needed but a few days in it's just going to be like like a natural
flow people are going to be finding random funny stuff to do it's just gonna turn into
we'll figure it's gonna be crazy but we'll be figuring it out while doing it it's gonna go
good but we start the 24th in the morning well i guess we start tomorrow night tomorrow like streaming
but like we start playing we start the race to mass proceedings
Mass Procedure on the 24th in the morning.
How long do you actually think it's going to take us to reach Master Proceding?
I think it will take us 24 hours.
Five days?
We should actually, all of us, we should put in like our estimated day, day, hour, like
minute, like down to the minute and whoever's closest, like gets something.
When's five, give it from each of us?
I think it's going to take us five, within five to six days.
Because I'm, right now I'm anticipating with double XP, especially if we have, I'm assuming,
How much double XP are we going to have?
Are we going to have like unlimited?
I hope we have a lot.
I think Matt's planning on ordering a lot of pizza.
Wait, really?
So are we going to have like unlimited double XP?
Oh, so that cuts in how?
Okay, so yeah, it's going to take us like five days.
Yeah, five days.
It won't take us more than five days.
Which kind of sucks.
I kind of want it to be like seven.
I want it to be like seven days.
I was hoping for a week.
I mean, it might not.
I mean.
But maybe we get to prestige six and we're like, dude, it gives a fuck if we're, we're not,
we're not going to win, by the way.
A bunch of people are out.
asking us like are you going to win?
There's pub stoppers like legitimate pub stoppers that are going to be trying their
absolute cocks off while we're ripping tequila shots.
So there's other people doing the race?
Not how we're doing it.
But like they're just trying to get it done first.
I think the nuke squad guys like swag and his boys, I think they're doing it like we're doing
it.
Oh really?
I think they are.
We'll beat them.
Yeah, we'll beat them.
I'm down to race them.
We'll beat them.
I'm not down to race.
But like people hear the race and they're like you have to get their first.
but we're kind of doing it more so for like the content.
Yeah.
Is it?
Yeah.
So it's not,
we're not like pressure to do well when we're on there.
I mean,
we want to try our best,
but it's also like if we don't win,
like I just don't want people's expectations for them to come into this thing and be like,
they're expecting to come out and win.
Because if I'm playing,
we're expecting to come out and do Pilates and then rip a kickoff tournament.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
Pilates.
I just want to manage expectations.
It's funny because like after the race,
I'm going to be so tired of seeing that fucking house map.
Because that
Die line?
Yeah.
Dude, I like it.
We're gonna burn ourselves out in the first day.
I know.
I like the map,
but I'm just gonna be like, dude.
I hope the maps are good, man.
Like the rest of the maps?
That's like my number one.
Dude,
that's my only.
I'm so worried about all of our hands.
Because the maps are so small.
Yeah.
No,
it's gonna be,
it's gonna be,
it's gonna be crazy.
Like I,
my brain,
I've been just thinking about it.
And I'm not dreading it by any means,
but I'm just thinking about it.
We've never done something.
I've never done like a sub-a-thon like this, but it's not just me.
We're doing it with all of us.
It's a sub-a-thon with all of us in like a 1,000 square foot facility.
I'm higher.
It is a sleepover.
It's going to be crazy.
It's not even like at the house where we would go up to our room.
That's what I was saying.
Like we only had the six-hour shift and then we do whatever we want.
Yeah.
This is a 24-7.
You've got to be there.
You maybe get an hour out of the day to go shower and shit.
But it's like you come back and it's like.
And you're on.
It's like a content incubator for like a week.
Yeah.
Well, we should probably say that.
Like we are, we're leaving the shower and that's it.
One hour.
But there's a one hour cap and there's a punishment if you're even like a minute late.
So we'll, you'll see more as.
Which I'm not going to lie.
We can't go six days without shower.
I wanted to like kind of give my case.
But like my house is 10 minutes away.
So does that 10 minute drive count towards my hour?
Absolutely.
You better speed.
Mine's 40 minutes away.
Or you got to go to Davis's house, brother.
Okay, well, that's not even possible.
I know.
You got to go to Davis.
Or you got a speed, brother?
I need five gifted for that.
I think I should get like a nice 20 minute.
No, everyone gets their hour.
Just travel time.
Not for the king.
Everyone gets their hour.
Yeah, but you're walking across the street.
I have to drive home.
It still takes five minutes to walk across street.
No, it doesn't.
I don't.
Actually, does it?
Yeah, it might actually take like three minutes.
But that's the whole point, though.
It's not supposed to, you're not supposed to feel like you have time.
You're supposed to be like, okay, fuck, I got to get it and get out and get back to race.
Ideally, we would have put Port-uponie.
I'm tweaking. See, I'm tweaking.
That sentence right there, it's not supposed to feel like you have time to go home and see your wife and dogs.
We are a challenge.
You are not supposed to have time.
We are participating at a challenge where we have a common goal and we all need to be here as much as possible to achieve it.
Are y'all's girls going to miss you?
Probably not.
I'm sure.
At least I would hope.
I don't know.
Unless she has the handyman over.
Jesus.
That's the maintenance guy comes there again.
Honey, you put in 12 maintenance requests as I was gone.
What the fuck's?
Our lawnmower coming.
What's breaking down there?
There was no dishwasher issue when I left.
That was insane.
Everything was squeaky clean.
Yeah, that's the thing as well.
I haven't not seen Michelle and the dogs.
I mean, I think it's every single day.
I've been away for a week.
I'm going to be crying up there.
I do feel a bit bad.
I was in Jersey for a week.
Come back home for a day, seven-day race to Master Prestige.
Oh, God.
I'm so excited, though, man.
You should take her to dinner tonight.
Yeah, no, today is all.
pampering her.
Where do you want to go eat?
Where do you want to get coffee?
That's all it takes.
Those two things.
Really?
Well, I haven't streamed in a few days either
because I'm anticipating,
once the game launches, it's...
You're being a part-time.
You can compare stream hours.
Huh?
We can compare yearly stream hours.
Saudi Arabia pairs.
I'm doing other shit.
I'm taking a few...
That's fair.
I'm taking a few spots.
days before we get into uh i'm kidding by the way you you should because that's how my mindset it has
been uh coming into it too it's not even just the race because like obviously the race is going to be
crazy once the game drops but then we're going to still like it's not like once the race is over like
the new game is still out so i mean the tournaments are going on i have a dope announcement coming
dab me up davis wait you do yeah during the race have you told me about no but it's not
I'm not sure if you'll find it as cool what like a cool thing like there's going to be a lot of cool
things with the game release.
And I'm also curious...
Some of the CDO locations leaked.
I'm not sure if we should talk about that at all, but I feel like that's kind of
important to know it real quick.
Well, if it's on Twitter, go ahead.
I actually didn't know about the fucking Barcelona shit.
Yeah, Barcelona is apparently major one.
It wasn't supposed to be Barcelona, like, I don't think.
I'm pretty sure there were like leaks before.
Supposed to be out of hype.
Yeah.
Oh, that's the one that was supposed to be.
Okay.
Yeah.
And then it changed.
I didn't know about Barcelona either until it started coming up.
coming out. So that leaked, right? Yeah. That's crazy. I thought it was supposed to be Anaheim like six
months ago. That's a crazy, that's a crazy major one. But also it's not confirmed yet. So you got
to take it with a grain of salt. I mean, that's true. What was this? Twitter leaks?
Yeah. You never know with the CDL. We were supposed to have an event in North Carolina last year
that got literally wiped off the face of the earth and they pushed it back a week into my wedding,
unbelievable. But I'm curious how, uh, unbelievable. Curious how soon they're going to start the league.
Because last year it started pretty early, didn't it? Uh-huh. Last year,
It started in December last year, right?
The league started in December last year, right?
They say three weeks after the game drops, it starts?
I mean, that's...
No, no, no, no, no way.
Three.
I thought that's what I heard.
It'll probably start in December.
I mean, I'm probably wrong, but...
It'll probably be league matches December, first event, either January, February, like it always is.
No, I think you're thinking when, like, war zone drops.
Wait, is war zone drops?
I just heard the game is coming out in three weeks after there's journeys.
Apparently rank play drops, like, at the start of season one, right?
November 14th.
That'd be sick
So apparently elite play drops
In like three weeks after the game
See that's just gonna be awesome
Which would be like the first time
That's ever happened
How many days are you gonna take off after the race you think?
None
Like maybe no maybe one
Maybe one to like get my sleep schedule and shit fixed
After that I'm back in
I think I have to take one off
You're gonna have to
Otherwise my girlfriend is gonna look to me like I have five hats
No it's not even that
You're gonna feel I feel like I'm gonna feel like
physically like just not myself
after this is done.
Oh, the sleep you're going to get
is going to slip.
It's a week of shit.
Are you going to try to be
constantly stimulated?
Are you going to try to keep your schedule the same?
Like, are you going to try to sleep when you usually sleep?
No,
there's just no way.
No?
There's no way it's going to be.
That's what I'm saying.
I'm going to need a day to like realign my body.
Dude,
I have a feeling.
Imagine waking up,
taking your eye mask off and like
Tush is fucking biking in the corner.
Dude, what's going to suck?
Well, it's going to be, I feel like I'm going to fall asleep
first night, probably like 4 a.m.
I'm going to wake up at 6 a.m.
Lights are on.
Yeah.
That's talking to fucking Matt Craig about how we're starting the stream up and already I'm doing.
No.
Bro, I fall asleep at 11.30.
I fall asleep at like 1115 on the couch every night.
So like that's what I'm saying.
That's what I'm saying.
My sleep schedule from day one is chalked.
We have 8 p.m.
We're starting our stream up doing like our hype up.
Probably fucking around.
I think what we should do.
We should start to stream at 8 p.m.
Do like an hour just chatting session, get people excited.
Then we go to Target, do that.
That'll take like an hour and a half, two hours.
Yeah.
And then we come back, we can chat again or whatever.
And then, see, I don't know.
What are you guys going to do until 6 a.m.?
Are you guys going to stay up until 6 a.m.?
If y'all are asleep.
I mean, I'll probably be awake.
If y'all are asleep, I will be staying up.
I'll probably wake up at like 5 a.m. to like get prepped.
Well, yeah.
I don't think I'm going to shower day one.
Press your teeth.
Yeah, no.
I don't think I'm in a shower before that.
Shower before.
Because then you have to wake up at four.
go home at four.
No, no, no, I'm going to shower before we come.
Yeah, yeah, I'm not showering before that shit.
Like day one, I will be dirty.
What if I set up a crazy first sub goal?
Like right now I'm at like-
Bruce?
Right now I'm at like 2200.
And I just say like, yo, if we hit 6K subs today,
I won't shower the rest of the.
I mean, that's fine with me.
That'd be gross.
10-Ks.
If we had 10K today, I don't shower the rest of the week.
I can't smell you.
punishing all of us.
Not all of us.
You're nuts.
That's the incentive for them to...
No, I don't think I can do that.
I need to shower at least twice a day.
Brush my teeth twice a day.
I just went to the dentist.
I'm gonna have like face washing and shit
where I can do like little stuff.
Plenty of diodes.
Some wipes.
I'm gonna have like a full on fucking like
survival kit I'm bringing.
Yeah.
I already put up like command hooks
and like start of hanging shit up and stuff.
I know you've been over here just...
I've just been...
Yeah, he's been...
He's been...
It's smart.
I'm fucking high.
It's smart.
I don't have any ideas.
for my bunk, I feel like I need to come up with something.
I'm pretty bare bones.
Like, I'm not decking out.
Like, I'm going to be at that streaming setup as much as I possibly can besides when
I'm sleeping.
Well, or on the couch.
Like, we can't just neglect the couch.
Whoever's on the couch.
I'm going to be at, I think I'm going to be at the couch more than the streaming.
That's what I'm like kind of thinking.
See, unless like, that's the thing with like kickoff tournaments, it's like if you do your
six hour shift.
Well, you can just be bullshit in there.
Like, if I'm doing my race, you would just full screen that and come sit next to me.
and bullshit.
Exactly.
But me and Hitch are going to dual stream.
Sit on that couch and whatever y'all are doing, we'll just pick at that.
Try to use y'all for our benefit.
Because like obviously you, Zinni scump, like when y'all are playing.
A Zyrtec?
A Zyrtec.
I would have brought you one.
I didn't.
I have my home.
That doesn't help you now.
I've one at home.
I have one at home.
What do you?
On hand.
Texas.
Texas gives you.
You can take my car or I never heard of your car
quick if you want.
All right.
What was I saying?
Oh yeah.
While Skump and Zinny are like playing cod, I'm, I do not expect to go to my setup,
send under my fucking bed and like have hell of viewers and like.
Yeah.
Playing pubs and that going well.
Like I'm going to need to be on the main couch.
If sets in a kick out what y'all are doing.
If sets in a kickoff or if Zin's in a kickoff, I am full screening the main
couch and I'm going to sit.
Yeah.
With whoever is doing their shift.
Because I just don't see any benefit of sitting there playing pubs.
I'm definitely playing kickoffs, by the way.
That's you playing with.
I'm figuring that out.
Y'all do you and we're going to.
Even like, even like I'll do 2v2s with Teage.
Like I'm going to play competitive stuff.
Maybe not even tournaments, but like 2 v2 chowels, like I feel like I have to.
Otherwise I'm just like I'm more of a competitive guy than a pub guy.
When I'm not doing the actual race, I'm not like camo grinding.
Like, you know, these.
No, I mean, I get you.
I'm going to be camo grind.
I was thinking.
about getting into zombies. That's where I'm at in my life. Wait, hold on. Is rebirth out upon
launch? No. It's not? Dude, that would have been sick. Rebirth? Yeah, the new rebirth map is so fun.
At least I thought so. The Newk Town map? I kind of like it was so dope. It was like a little like,
we played it in DC. We played a newtown rebirth map. When me, Aunt and Ken, there's one like five
straight against all the wars on board. Oh, that map. Yeah. You wouldn't have played rebirth.
I would definitely play a little bit of rebirth. That would do, dude, that map was a lot of fun.
I, dude, I like, I like how the... I'm not saying. I'm not saying. I'm not
I play for 10 hours, but I'd hop in.
It Loki kind of feels like Blackout.
It doesn't feel like war zone.
Like it feels like a tri-arck engine.
Really?
Yeah.
You should play kickoffs though, or at least one.
Yeah.
Okay, don't play kickoffs all day.
You play kickoffs?
We will literally cast your kickoffs.
I'm down to play like a kickoff with the dynasty.
Yeah, that would be fucking hard.
But like the thing with kickoffs is they're all like, dude,
first off, what worries me about the kickoff scene this year?
I'm just going to straight up say it.
what websites are there
CMG GB's gone
UMG's gone
CMG is gonna be the biggest one
and isn't there like some fucking other one
that's like I don't even know if I trust
Cod agent
Is that like a trustable
That's like a Twitter like
Those are the only two
That's the only two
So like kickoff tournaments are gonna be
I think I don't think there's gonna be
That many of them this year personally
Because there's only CMG
CMG is gonna have the kickoff tournaments
In my eyes this year are
the creator hosted tournaments.
And that's going to be all pros.
So there's going to be like maybe a couple days.

back to the pot.
Unless you come through,
well, I have,
I'll talk about that at a different time.
I have a little bit of a problem,
but,
I don't know,
just the way you said it was funny.
I have a little bit of a problem.
I mean,
yeah,
you sound like a politician.
But,
like all the kickoff tournaments,
like CMG and stuff,
I feel like there's not going to be
that many of them because the creator tournaments,
I'm assuming, are starting like day three.
They're going to be there.
There's going to be a,
There's going to be kickoffs.
No, there's not kickoffs, the pros will create the own kickoffs.
No, there will be kickoffs.
I'm not saying there won't be kickoffs.
I'm saying it's like day three.
It's probably better if there's less though.
Day three, day four.
Way better if there's less.
I'd prefer if there's less because usually people are in 12 tournaments and that's actually,
that's actually a good point.
It's a three hour wait for your matchup.
I think this year is mad important for CMG because they could, because they could do what,
you know, GB struggled to do for a while, which is like be the website.
It was always
CMG, A and GB
and then also those like smaller tournaments
Ultra Arena and fucking all that
The problem with CMG is they just
oversaturge, oh my God, you scared the fuck out of me
They oversaturate the
They just host too many
Because they always want
Because obviously people get eliminated
And they want those same people
Spending money to reenter into more tournaments
And that just delays every single tournament
That's not what they try to do
Well I hope they don't try to overcompensate
and have like 30 4V4s going.
That's why GB used to be good
because GB would do like a bigger prize pool,
bigger tournament.
They wouldn't do like,
you know, smaller, smaller, smaller.
It'd be like D4 V4, D3V3.
I hope CMG does one kickoff
like a day and a half into the tournament
or a day and a half into the game.
And that's what everyone preps for.
They probably already have them posted.
I was looking.
They have like,
I think I saw like a 4V4 one and done.
Like, see, that's the thing.
If they try to do the one and done's,
that's when it gets a fucking annoying.
It has to be a best of three kickoff.
There has to be more.
I didn't see one.
Maybe they added one, but like I was looking last night, I didn't see one.
There's like 44 one and done.
If not, we'll host a best of three.
Yeah, what if we hosted some shit?
Yeah, we'll throw up a $5,000 prize pool.
The race to prestige.
We'll throw the Tony four before.
Crowdfunded by Zin City.
The race of prestige four before.
One and done.
That'd be sad.
No one likes one and done?
That'd actually be cool.
Yeah, like they play in a tournament
and whatever top teams are playing,
like we're watching.
Oh, yeah.
They're all best of ones, yeah.
Yeah, see, that's what I'm saying.
$900 kickoff 3B3.
Because this is what they do,
because they want everybody at all of these tournaments.
Yeah, and this is like,
these aren't even fucking kickoffs.
So they want when people lose to just enter another tournament
real quick?
These are B0-1s.
That 4K kickoff should be a best of three.
Should be a best of three.
Yeah, but then that takes forever.
But then people,
People will lose.
N.A plus EU?
No, no, no.
Let's do NA only here.
We can't do the EU 100 pain bullshit.
See, like, I'll be down to play like that one with the dynasty.
The best of one?
Yeah, but like, again.
But it's a best of one.
But that shit starts at midnight and we're already going to be, we're already going to be like,
we see what I'm saying?
We're starting at 6 a.m. the day before this.
I'm going to feel crazy playing this.
I think I have my squad on my head that I want to play with.
Who's that?
Me, Tupac, Cold Havoc, and one.
Oh, if you're crazy if you don't think they already have a team.
Well, no, I already talked to them.
Oh, I'm sure they all got teams.
I mean, they might have sketched on me, but Colt was like, if I don't do camos, I'm down,
because he might be doing camo stuff.
Wait, I think Aiden just told me he's playing with Colt.
Really?
No.
Aiden, I haven't talked to them in a while.
Aiden Mutex, Col.
Oh, that team will lose.
Damn, that sucks.
You've been sketched on before even Day Zero.
That's fucked up.
That way Tupac's sketched on me.
They just do these tournaments, so like when you lose one,
boom just enter another one oh dude i used to shark like fucking crazy but this also makes it annoying
for like no we're almost done 45 minutes later all right invite but this also makes it
annoying for like the players too because like imagine being on a pro team and you're like oh this is
our chance to finally get some like good reps you know it's a new game get some get some fun reps
get everybody in the community involved and then it's a best of one i know people from
CMG are listening to this.
Please, please make
an actual kickoff. This will be the first
year ever that there's not a
best of three kickoff within
the first 48 hours of the game match.
This comes out Thursday. I'm just going to DM.
That's the one. That's crazy.
You're going to DM them. You got motion
like that. Also, also that 4K
just so everyone knows that $4,000 tournament
is not a $4,000 guaranteed.
That is if everyone, that is if the
tournament fills up, then it's $4,000.
It probably will. Kickoffs usually fill
up. How many teams?
2506 teams.
I don't know actually. Yeah, there's no way that fills up.
There's no way. You don't think we can get 256 anymore? What the fuck happened?
Not on kickoff night. It's actually crazy that CMG is the only site standing now.
What do you mean not on kickoff night? Kickoff night is the night to play tournament.
I know, but okay, I didn't see that. There we go. N.A host only.
One rule. Maybe now, but I remember I was playing UMG kickoff.
three years ago and they were
UMG kickoffs were getting eight teams
eight to ten teams
and then the GBs would get
like like 30 teams
and then the CMGs would get like
120 like it's not
those like those days of like 400 teams
What was the last time Cod was getting those numbers
like 256 teams? Probably like B04
B04 yeah before the CDL maybe
B O'I remember like Halo 3 in like
2008 was getting that type of shit
Oh yeah
game battles just went to the straight
All of Dude.
Mono Warfare 2, Black Ops 2,
they would get like a thousand teams,
like fucking 360 icons and shit.
That's insane.
A thousand teams on a Saturday.
That was actually, like,
Black Ops 1 you're talking about?
Black Ops 1, Black Ups 2.
Model Warfare 3.
360 icons used to be nuts.
Dude, it was insane.
There was nothing better than those, too.
Good times.
But yeah, yeah, so my concern with kickoffs
is they're not actually going to be kickoffs,
and they're going to die out at a exponential rate.
because again those kickoffs once the content like everyone is throwing like a creator tournament like I'm pretty sure I don't want to leak anybody's shit but there's probably a couple of the first week I'm sure there's maybe a couple second week and then they start trailing off after that and then they start scrimms especially if the CDL's starting like a little bit earlier this year then they start screaming they start screaming soon they start screaming super early and then that's it so I don't know we'll see I don't want to be a a of a
fucking downer, but that's just, I feel like year after year, the kickoff tournaments have become
less and less, like, just hype because they die out so quick. Yeah. And it's like,
I don't know. Right now, if you do play in one, is it going to be with the dynasty? Or it's nothing
set yet? Uh, that's probably the only team I'd play with. I mean, unless we ran something.
I was surprised. A 2v2? I want to see y'all run a 2B2. See, I don't really like, I don't like
2B2 search. Fuck that. I would only because it's like kickoff night. I wouldn't like it if it's like a
month in and there's nerds but kickoff night I'm down like just run two v two so if you're not down
I'll run them with tige you're like I just want to play tournaments doesn't really mad just to
learn it's so I like learning the game in that way because that's the best way to learn
competitive like playing players that are doing the right shit yeah for sure I'm gonna be
watching Blake and George are playing with then I can talk a renegade from like halo
renegade and then uh feudives really yeah so like that's a pretty decent I mean that's a good
team. It's a good team. Oh, I just thought of a dirty duo I'm going to look for.
He's like, Renegades. And he's controversial. He's coming. I won that thing. He is controversial.
I won that tournament with him and everyone thought he was cheating because he was just like wallbanging
people day one. Oh, it was funny. What's your thoughts? It was against you. He played on land though. He did
his thing on land. Did he? In Warzone? He did. He played second, right? He was crazy. He was
fucking destroying. He wallbang me? I remember it was a desert sea.
He wallbang me at the low left cutout, and this was like day one.
I played competitively the whole year.
That didn't happen to me the rest of the year.
Against pros.
You were like, hmm.
Yeah, I was like, this kid's dropping 19.
And I'm getting wall banged on Desert Siege, day one.
Didn't happen to me the rest of the year.
Granted, that kind of was our auto veto the whole year.
A few days, you'd be like, holy shit.
But we did scrimidly wake up.
Michelle's next to you, your dog.
Wake up, Zinni to your right.
You're just like, what?
Hitch, fight.
Fuck.
Any of you guys snore like crazy?
Hitch.
You are a snorer?
I snore sometimes, some nights.
I snore and I'm drunk.
I don't think I snore.
How do you know?
Uh, Kate.
I just need to make sure I eat clean, exercise,
keep a little bit of a routine.
Yeah.
James is going to have to make sure we have good mood.
We have good food around.
Yeah, we can't just be eating pizza.
No, we will be, dude, we will feel like shit.
McDonald's.
If we eat bad to.
We will feel so just that that room will start stinking.
We're doing catering, right?
Do you really have your nipples pierced as one of your goals?
I threw it in.
I was just typing up random shit.
Like it's not like official.
No, I'm not looking.
Yeah, how'd that feel?
Do they got your nip?
Oh my God, I got jump scared yesterday.
They said, go look at Davis's tweet.
And I literally pulled up your tweet and it was just aggressive nip.
Aggressive, Harry Pube nip.
Wait, you have pierced?
Both of them.
Yeah, how did that fear?
Fear.
They're still pierced?
Yeah, it hurt.
Did it yesterday?
Yeah, did it yesterday.
Wait, you got the ears yesterday?
Yesterday.
Yeah.
What?
Yeah.
Are you okay?
Okay, so.
You did it yesterday?
So January of 2023.
So that's how, yeah, look at it.
Dude, that's an aggressive.
I don't want to see that.
Dude, my,
my chat was like, go look at Davis's tweet.
And I'm like, okay.
And then I see that.
So January 2020, 3, the top left picture is, I said, I said, if we get 10
K subs in
23 will all get our nipples pierce.
Just jokingly tweeted that
at noon.
Like just fucking bullshitting.
And then the last day,
this is the last day of 2023.
December 29th.
We go on a 6,000 sub train.
Get to an 11,000 subs.
There's no,
there's no happiness in Blake's face.
Oh yeah.
Blake was like crying and shit.
But like,
no, well,
oh,
I'm saying like because he knows deep down
he's got to get his nips.
Pierce right now.
Well,
I didn't,
the face of a man
that's got to get
his name.
I didn't run it by them.
So I didn't,
I didn't expect them
to get them to get
the new experience.
George looks like a guy
who already has him
Pierce.
Yeah.
Dude.
But as I was doing
the sub goals for this,
I was like,
there's no way
I can go do sub goals
without finishing
the one with this looming,
with this looming still.
Because this wasn't an actual
sub goal.
I jokingly tweeted it.
But like,
I'm a man of my word.
Oh,
it's a sub goal though.
So I went and I did it.
Are you going
to remove them?
I don't know
I'm too scared to touch them
your girl likes them
Alexis actually digs them
they're hurt
they hurt
yeah I mean
they don't hurt
like as I'm as I'm sitting here
what if I go like if you like
if your shirt like grips them
like I can touch them
it's but yeah
it felt uh
it felt uh
it felt kind of
it felt crazy
I mean they clamp you
they clamp you first
and even that hurts
and then she's like
all right so you take a deep breath
and then you go
And I was like,
She was like, that wasn't a bad, right?
And I was like,
and now let's do the other.
Did it hurt?
Yeah, it hurt.
A lot?
No, I would say like a seven out of ten.
Like, it wasn't like a ten.
Oh, I can just imagine.
Oh, man.
It wasn't like a ten out of ten.
Oh, I would never, I would never get your nipple tattooed.
Ever.
No, hell no.
I would never.
The worst pain of my life.
You got your nipple tattooed?
Yeah.
On the actual ariola?
Yeah.
Like half of my nipple is just black.
What?
The worst pain I've ever been in in my life.
Really?
Like by far.
Like I had to drink.
Yeah.
Like we had to like go.
Like I'd be,
I'd tell her like, all right, ready, go.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
And my nips bleeding and shit.
No, I would never do that.
No.
Uh, no.
They said the, I mean, they all hurt.
They said if you get it in the dip, that hurts.
They all hurt, to be honest, but arms, I'm not.
There's different levels of hurt.
There's only a few places on like hands, elbows.
I think everything else is fine.
Actually, inner bicep sucks, but if you just get it, you're getting it inner.
Right here.
Yeah, that should be fine.
I mean, it's going to hurt.
That's a crazy first one to get.
It's going to hurt.
Why?
I don't, I don't know.
I mean, I don't have, I have like my shoulder, because you can't hide it.
I think it's always out.
I like it.
No, it's gonna look good.
I'm just saying.
No, I like that placement.
Fuck.
No, it's a good, it's a good spot.
It's a good spot.
I like the placement.
Okay.
So you're getting the OG.
We are getting bananas.
Bananas.
Um,
where are you gonna get yours?
Oh, my leg somewhere.
Probably here.
Bananas?
I think like BTH Optic, I think I might just get it.
And then like a banana.
Yeah, yeah.
What is the banana?
From this.
The last.
Last time we did the race to prestige, or two times ago we did the race prestige.
Like 2017.
We weren't allowed to play music because of the sponsor.
So Nick goes downstairs with his JBL and starts playing like uncopyright like beats.
Yeah.
And then we just started making like songs.
Oh, oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And people thought eat the banana was like a fucking hit.
Made a whole sound cloud with every song that we did.
Yeah.
It was fucking crazy.
So it just kind of became a thing and then.
Sort of just honoring
All right, Matt, you can take my nipple off the screen.
Yeah, please get it off.
Oh my God.
Poking out of me.
It is hard at all time.
It's healthy food. Why did you type that?
We were talking about what we're going to be eating.
Oh, oh.
Dude, this shit is about, just thinking about the race, like, dude,
I just thinking about it tomorrow is about, it's going to be insane.
Yeah, we should have, we should have one of these couches in there.
It's tomorrow.
Yeah, we're all.
These are so comfy.
It is tomorrow.
They want us to do a photo shoot at 10 a.m.
Then go back home.
Yeah, that's kind of O.D.
I'm not in that.
Like, I need a whole day to prep mentally for this week long excursion.
It kicks off tomorrow night with an IRL stream.
I mean, by the time this is live, we're going to be into it.
We'll be live.
It's on TV slash BTH maniac.
Everyone's live for it.
So I just, every single channel is live.
And we're just going to be doing like our own thing.
mainstream. It's going to be fun, man. We have a lot of challenges planned. Obviously, we have
personal subgoals. We have group subgoals. It's going to be a lot of
a lot of fun. I think it's going to be fun. Music, dance floors, maybe some drink.
Maybe towards some later days. I don't want to. I think after the kickoffs and shit are done,
then I'm down to like have a few drinks, but I don't want to be like drinking day two and then
like I feel like shit day three. Yeah, I don't want to drink day three. Can we get a bar
Shendron.
What?
As long as I'm,
Like, if I'm just playing pubs,
it's fine,
but I'm not trying to like get shit.
I just don't want to wake up feeling like shit.
Yeah,
that I mean,
that too.
Yeah,
if you want.
We could throw a rager here.
A live party.
I was thinking about a live party.
Imagine a live party when we finish.
Like if we're on
if we're on prestige nine,
level 30 or something like,
we're like a couple hours.
We just start inviting people and we start playing music.
I mean,
that would be,
real dope for the stream but I feel like at that point I'm gonna be so over stimulated by people I'm gonna just be like I want I think it'll come in my bed and just here I think it'll come in waves because I think there'll be times where I'm like dude I don't want to talk I don't want to look at you guys yeah because and then there'll be times where I'm just fucking like yeah like I'm just letting the moment like
tib over I'm fuck I am I am actually here we go right we all are about to witness it firsthand we all are about to witness at first hand
Man.
Hopefully it goes well because it goes well and they keep prestigious in and then we can do it again next year.
If it's going to go well.
If it goes super well, we could do some sort of variation of this in other ways.
Like if Nick wants to do his Elvin Ringstream, we can just like do something like this.
Yeah.
That shit would be, do it, wait, Matt, are those are caught so do we have to give them back?
Like did y'all buy them?
But the cop like the actual cot, like the.
Are they ours?
The mattress?
The bunks.
Yeah, we bought them.
Oh, y'all bought them?
Okay, so we have them available.
There we go.
Damn.
Which is crazy.
Oh, man, that would be so serious.
I'm ready.
I'm ready.
I mean, we got, if we're not ready, if you come into this not ready, we're fucked.
Got to get ready.
Somebody make sure Dalton's ready.
You got to be ready.
I don't know.
He's the only one maybe not ready.
I don't know if he's ready.
Dalton will show up.
I trust Dalton with all my life to show up for this task.
There's actually
Because everyone's going to have to be
We're all going to have to like
We're going to have to pick each other up
Like if someone's feeling like shit
And they're just not feeling good
Someone's going to have to step up
And be entertaining
Are there rules?
Are there rules to people sleeping?
No.
If I get gifted to wake you up
You're going to be upset if I'm like, hey I got
$500.
Okay, yeah, you shouldn't get gifted
to wake someone up
If I do
Because the sleep is already going to be like
I'm not going to ask for
What if you're like,
If it's like a hundred gifted
and you come like
but then people are just going to be throwing
100 gifted all night
if it's like a thousand
if it's like a thousand
and you have to pie me in the face
100 gifted blow a air horn
what's the thoughts on that
a hundred
just a bro
there's one little
it has to be a
not a hundred gifted
sun train like if someone drops
100 gifted bomb and it's like
how mad would you be
if I had a feather tickling your feet
while you sleep
because I hit 500
gifted
or 50 gifted
I kick you off the bunk
50 gifted
to put your camera on skilps bunk
just to like they watch him sleep
I'd be sick
That'd be fine with that
I'd be sickening I'm fucking low-key
Jorking up there
Jorking under the cubs
Are y'all gonna go a week without jorkeen
I'll figure it out
I've done it before I'll do it again
I don't know
I'm sure I'll figure it out
Jork in the HQ
I'll do it I'll do it again
You're just standing that bathroom
If I'm late after a shower you know why
Yeah hit
I'm in your bathroom
Seth's house
If you have to jorke it you got to go to Seth
If you just need to
If you just need to shower
You can go to mine
No that will not be
Take that's house
Is Jorket house
Yeah you gotta have a joikie bathroom
I have a whole family
At my own
Like the basement joikes
All right never mind
Never mind
Not be happening
Maybe you have so many rooms
Huh
You have so many rooms
That you don't even walk in
I pick one that you don't walk in
What are you room watching now
He's joick watching
He's joick watching
He's joick watching
What are you room watching?
Holy shit
We'll commence.
I mean, right now we're live doing it, which is crazy to say.
When they're watching this, we will be into it.
I just hope people, I just hope people appreciate.
Because, again, I think you guys, I think you guys are downplaying how cool.
I just hope people appreciate, like, just what it is.
Because, again, it's not easy to set something like this up.
No, the production team is.
The production teams went crazy.
Shout out Matt Craig.
There are 16 PCs.
Dude.
16.
Bunk beds.
Bunk beds.
Fucking exercise bikes, weights.
Dumbbells.
There's a bench.
I walked in yesterday.
Roger's setting up the fucking...
Nice lift in.
Yeah.
I'm going to ride the bike.
Yeah, I'm going to ride the bike.
I'm probably going to ride the bikes for like 30 minutes before I go shower
in the morning.
I actually can't run right now because of my nipples.
So I will be riding the bike.
Like I'm going to wake up and immediately ride the bike because like again...
Are you going to like set your thing on full screen?
just throw the bike in front of your setup and go
or just do it off to the side
or you can put the mainstream on.
You can put the main screen on.
Just throw the mainstream on.
Yeah.
And then I'm going to,
and I'll just be in the background bike.
And because you have to do it before you go shower.
Like you can't ride the bike at like 9 p.m.
And then not go shower.
No, we should do for like certain meals.
Bring in like a little table
and we all eat breakfast together.
I'm not sure if that's actually a good idea,
but like.
I'm down to have meals together.
That'd be cool.
If we had like a breakfast every morning
and like we're all sitting there
and just they can hear us chat.
and bullshitting before the day starts.
I think that'd be cool.
I watch the audio.
The audio is really good.
Like even if you're just out in the area,
like you can hear pretty well.
Really?
Yeah.
It's pretty,
it's,
I don't even understand how it works,
but.
I can't wait.
It's going to be crazy.
I don't know.
Wait,
wait.
I gotta get ready today.
Like,
I have mentally prepped.
Tuss said that his new schedule
he has to work out twice a day,
which is two showers.
So are we giving him 30 minutes a piece?
Or is he leaving?
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Wait, wait, so he wants to do two workouts today?
He wants to do two workouts today.
I plan on showering twice a day.
Can he do like one longer one?
Holy shit.
Like shower at night.
I wake up, workout shower, go through my whole day.
I'm here with a fucking stinky hot room.
I'm sweating, playing pubs going nag five.
Like by the end of the day, before I hop in my princess sheets, I'd like to hop in the shower, brush my teeth.
I'm doing one shower a day.
Yeah, I'm probably doing one in the morning and that's it.
Yeah, I'm doing one.
Damn, my girl changed me, huh?
she makes me take two showers today.
Jesus.
She'll clean the sheets all the time.
She'll be like,
go shower.
Yes, ma'am.
Yes, ma'am.
You'd be stanking.
Wait, so you're doing two showers today in my shower?
I mean, I'm gonna make,
I shower for three minutes.
I'll run over.
I'll have my clothes and my hand shower.
Like, it literally will,
both of my showers will not take more than 40 minutes total.
I feel like I'm packing for an entire trip tonight.
Oh, you are.
Yeah.
Wait, why?
Because you got to bring all your clothes here
It's a long trip too
Oh well I'm going to
You're going home
You're going to your house
Yeah
I can see that
We're all packing for like a week
Yeah
I'm gonna have my big ass suitcase
And pairs of boxers
Because you always got to pack more boxers
Than the allotted trip
I brought boxers here
Just in case
T-shirts here
Yep
Just in case
pajamas here
I usually sleep in just boxers though
You can sleep with just boxers
I do need a fan
Yeah
What's the worst that can happen?
I mean, yeah, but it's gonna be hot up there.
I need a fan.
You have to, like, bring your clothes up there and shit.
Like all the PC heat, you've lost some of it.
You've lost some of it.
Up to your bed.
Are you?
Yeah, all the, all the PC,
going behind your bed and up to you,
like from your PCs being on,
just coming up to your bed,
like I need a fan.
Yeah, it's going to be hot.
Matt has fans.
That's why I want these in there
because I might just sleep on this.
There's going to be time.
Nope, got to be on stream.
We'll take a nap.
It won't be hot.
I brought a bunch of different cooling things.
a bunch of different cooling because I'm
I run hot so I'm scared
Wait what do you mean different cooling things
I got like cooling sheets I got a cooling fan that goes around your
thing my eye mask is a cooling eye mask
So I put it in the
Wait bridge doesn't
Wait what the fuck was I was gonna
Doesn't the AC in the hex quarters turn off during the weekend
No
Or was that only downtown
Thought that was a thing that would be a problem
I think maybe it was downtown
Because I remember hearing something
Because then we're actually melting.
Yeah, I would come in on like Saturday with formal and we just.
Pretty sure.
That might have just been downtown.
But that would be a big problem.
No, because I used to stream in here until 3 a.m.
That's true.
So, yeah, no.
I think it's fine.
Plus walk in here in the mornings.
We do need to have like a light, like a light rule.
Like lights off.
Even at, I'm not saying lights off.
We have to be quiet.
But like, I don't want to.
It's like the airplane.
It's like if you're in a.
a red eye. At a certain time, those lights dim.
I just don't want to wake. I don't want to,
I don't want to be like this at like
fucking 4 a.m. But I also think we have
a lights on time as well. Yeah, I agree.
Lights on 8 a.m.
But then I guess...
What about the person who just went to sleep at 6 a.m?
Not like lights out, like
everyone has to be quiet, but like we just
shut the lights off. Because I think it's going to get, if
it does get hot, it's going to be because of the
the electronics.
So like having, like
when I used to turn the lights off in the
hex quarters, it would immediately get cooler.
Oh.
That's more of what I was like.
Just the fluorescent like fucking white light.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Again, it's going to be a learning experience.
We're going to learn as we go.
It'll be fun.
There's going to be one night where we're like, holy shit.
No, I think there's going to be so many random moments where people throughout it think
of something funny or something stupid.
Yeah.
Like when we're actually in the situation, like ideas are going to start popping up.
And the chat's going to be chiming in.
going to be saying what to do shit what's your first sub goal i don't think i think mine is my first
sub goal i just wrote some down i didn't put a my first sub goal is get cornrose that is my first one
that's a cool sub goal mine definitely get a lot my head is going to be hurting i don't know how to take it out
actually yeah you're right you're going to be sitting there trying to like it's your head i think it's
itchy and shit.
Shit.
I need scump to give me a,
a buzz cut.
Okay.
Maybe a tattoo as well.
Seth,
I don't feel comfortable giving you a tattoo.
And when I say
you don't feel comfortable giving me a tattoo,
it'd just be a little smiley.
Oh,
that's not as bad.
But I would just,
just like the pain,
like, I don't, like.
You don't know how it feels.
Yeah, so you don't know, like, how hard to push.
Yeah, exactly.
Like, I get that.
And I'm not a professional.
Like, what if I fucking go, go onto your leg?
I'm just
through into my bones.
Push that shit.
No worries.
That's a quick lawsuit.
That won't happen.
I'm a little bit worried about that.
Honestly,
you're hoping for that.
I was thinking my first goal would be Seth to give me a haircut,
not just the buzz cut,
but like take the,
what do they,
raise,
not razor.
Take the electric shaver and just like do whatever.
Like you could just leave the back,
but just shave the front.
And I just look like an idiot,
but I have to keep that haircut the entire stream.
The entire.
I was thinking about making that my first one so that whatever dumbass hair cut I end up with.
Like it could be patches on the side.
Oh my God.
Right down the middle.
But I have to rock.
I have to rock that the entire prestige.
I would probably give you all of this off and then just the front.
Like just one little like patch in the front.
Hey man, whatever you think of.
That's all I would give.
That would be insane.
The race to master prestige.
What is your first one?
off.
My first one?
Yeah.
I just want to know
like how crazy
it's going to start.
Well,
I'm about a piss on.
Well,
my first one wasn't
going to be that.
My first one is
be like someone
wins free BDA merch
for a year.
Oh,
okay,
but then mine get like,
I have some
absolute insane ones.
At least I think so.
We've got,
I've got some crazy ones too.
Like,
should we even spoil our big ones
or should we wait to?
I have one that I'm never going to hit,
but it was hilarious.
Well,
by the time this is out,
they're going to know our goals.
Yeah,
it'll already be out.
One of my big goals,
waxing an optic logo into my chest,
which is, or you guys doing it.
So what that,
that one's,
wait,
don't you have a shirtless for 24 hours one?
I have a shirtless for a shift one.
Oh,
I have a shirtless for a shift.
I have,
a,
Braden O.F.
And Pose professional backpicks.
One of mine is get an aggressive,
aggressively bronze spray tan.
That would be insane.
You would look,
you would look like an old,
like a little,
where would you even get that,
where would you get that done?
Or they come in.
Somebody,
yeah,
just have someone come in
spray me.
This was
Iz's idea too.
Is like Iz wants to see that.
It's a really good idea.
Is his always wanted to see me
with a spray tan.
She's like,
get a spray tan.
You should get a spray tan.
I think you'd look good with it.
But not like,
not like an aggressively bronze one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But like just a normal looking one.
You're like fucking big Donnie.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's going to look crazy.
Orange.
Yeah, like I hope we make it to Halloween.
Yeah.
And if not we're going to have our own Halloween.
Throw a little Halloween next year.
Again, if we have double XP activated and we're going too fast, we can be like, yo.
Well, that shit down.
I know it's the race.
We need to pump the brakes.
We need to make it to Halloween.
We need at least five, six days.
Guys, 100 subs right now and we'll never do double XP again.
Yeah.
My stream.
All right.
Well, that is, if you guys are watching this, go tune into any of our Twitch channels or the Optic Gaming YouTube channel.
And let's watch the race.
Let's see what we're seeing.
Do you know and support.
See how insane we are already becoming.
The more you support,
the more often you'll see stuff like this.
Yeah.
Because this is what the higher-ups love to see,
us getting together,
putting on an absolute show.
So come through, show some love.
All right, guys.
See you guys in the race.
Peace everybody.
See at the race.
You'll be seeing a lot of us.
