It is the first game I have played probably since Fortnite that I've actually, like, enjoyed. No way. Like, literally, bro. I've not gotten into any game. Y'all tried a different game other than Cod or Hela. And y'all fucked with it. Yeah. No fucking way.

And I didn't, I didn't think it was going to happen either. Finally. Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode number 143, which of course means I love. love you. If you're from the 90s, you remember Pagers, one four, three, men, I love you. I, L-O-B-E, Y-O-U-3, L'A. Boomer. This episode is brought to you by Rocket Money and, of course, Mountain Dew, and I'll tell you about that later on in the podcast. Today, we have a man, Nick Maniac Kirshner. It's been a while. It actually has been a while. Yeah. Since I've been on one of I don't know, I don't know, you know, I have conversations with the booker or something.

I guess I just wasn't performing. No, you were, though. I was like, you're really good. We have a money, money biscuit to my left. And, of course, the scumper jumper, both coming up, coming off of an extraordinary win against younger players. Proving the point that if Michael Jordan was playing in this fucking era, that they was, he would still dominate the same with the scumper jumper. You'd be an avid, you do all right. I agree.

Really? Michael Jordan? He would do terrible. Not terrible. No, I'm saying, like, just for our sake. He's not. For scum's sake. He's saying we could still be in the CDO.

Oh, yeah. Not show ass. What happened? This guy, this guy was texting me all. When was it? Since last, since last podcast about Charlo versus Canelo. And I'm texting. He's like, dude, he looks.

You don't have receipts? I have receipts. I have receipts. He did. He was talking. He said, oh, you don't know, you don't know boxing like that so I can't talk to you about. What was that fight Saturday? Yeah, Saturday.

I bought it. Panet it. Yeah. Canello dominated? I don't watch that. No, it went to, it went to distance. It was good fight. But he was dominated, he pretty much dominated.

I only watch that kind of stuff if, like, we're out. I don't ever watch it at home. I don't watch it since, like, Mayweather. Mayweather, it seemed like an event to get together and just watch perfection. See, like, it's crazy because I just don't care that much. I watch you have seen. I'm like, fuck, I can't get into it. No, boxing, and I'm like, I can watch one through 12 every round.

Really? No knockout, I still love it. Really? Like, I just enjoy it. It's like an art. Yeah. Like, you can just like, because. I kind of get it.

I don't really watch UFC like that. I mean, I don't really watch boxing like that either, but even like not even like main, main fights. Just like watching boxing is such like a art to watch. Like just the defense and just how quick and how just how quickly they expect stuff and the counters. And it's just, it's like just cool to watch someone be like masters at their craft. You think you got hands?

I mean, I've watched some of these. The YouTube fights? I watch some of these YouTube. For one, I don't have hands. For any like real fighters out there, let's make that clear. But for some of the shit, like YouTube boxing, I'm just like, dude, I feel like with no training I can hop in there. But don't challenge them. It's also, that's the same fucking dog shit idiots that are watching like pro players on CDL.

And they're like, well, let's not compare YouTube boxers to CDL pros. But like, they think they can, they could do. that until like you get in the ring. Yeah. It's just like whole fucking crowds around you. Your leg, you're like a little shaky and something. You're like a fucking deer in there. You like, you like Pomage playing basketball?

I feel like, I feel like, like I did boxing for a month. I felt I felt kind of like a natural. You're like Pomage playing basketball? Yeah. Yeah. Like a newly born, like a newly born giraffe. Yeah. I mean like that could be what would happen if I like went in there with no training

and stuff. I'm sure it's definitely easier said than done. But I think I did boxing for a month. And I felt like I was good. I was like, dude, I feel like I'm like naturally good at this. Like there's some stuff you hop on. You don't feel naturally good like fucking Valerant. But then like, I don't know, boxing, I feel like I could be decent.

I just played three lives of Valerance for the first time ever. And it's not my game. Me and Bo's been grinding. How do you shoot? when you can't move. Does it try to trust me. We know. This is our...

Yeah, it takes a lot. That shit has took me like, I'm just now finally getting to the point where like if he's not, if he's like in front of me, I could probably kill him. But like, it's still like sometimes I'll be shooting at someone and see someone else and try to move and shoot

and I'm instantly dead. I'm like, fuck. But it takes a minute. Like you need to play that. Can't get on it. It's just a totally different type. Like, when I hopped on Fortnite,

H1 Z1, it's like you're moving and shooting. Yeah. It's just as long as your, I guess, aim is good and you can hit them. Like, I wasn't cracked with building, but in Fortnite, I felt like I had a good shot. Same with H1Z1, but like this, I just feel bad in every aspect. Like, my strats are bad. P&IGL. Like, I'm not good with the abilities.

I'm not good at shooting. I'm not, it's just a totally different game. Like, I was never in a counter-shunders. strike so. What rank are you guys? We're just dropping. I got places to drop it. Yeah, I got placed.

I have gotten so. We drop when we play with other people. When you play me and him, just duo, somehow we're fine. As soon as we add other people in, we start losing. Well, it's like, we'll play with. I think we match harder people as well. Yeah, we're not playing with shit people. And it's like more.

Fucking, someone will join in. There'll be diamond or something. And we'll get decent people. Can you play with diamond players? Well, you have to five stack it. So like. Yeah. if you play you just have to get other people on.

Or even if we just get other silvers and golds from like my fucking stream and I'm just like, dude, this is so hard to win. But I mean, just every game, it doesn't matter who we play with, whatever. I feel like, all right, so I got placed gold two and then now I'm like silver three. Like I'm just, but I'm getting better.

Today I had a bad day. Today I've been up since 4 a.m. I didn't sleep that much. So maybe blame it on that. But today, I wasn't today it's like I do play good it feels so momentum based it's like I've when I'm on I'm on I'm confident I don't even I'm not caring about like just walking silent like I just strafe out tap them in the head yeah I just chow and tap them but then like once I start getting shit

on start overthinking start playing it slow and then that's just when things go downhill then I start missing and I look at my chat I see formal typing I'm just like this this dude I'm sure form was nasty at the game but it's just I don't know Valer's just a totally different type of game but it is the first game I have played probably since

Fortnite that I've actually like enjoyed no way I'd say this literally bro I have not gotten into any game y'all tried a different game other than Cod or Hala even that I mean the Cod yeah yeah don't fucking wait

and I didn't I didn't think it was I didn't think it was going to happen either. Finally. I came back to streaming after, I don't think I streamed for like two, three months. I was like debating what I come back and do. I just, I'm like, I just know if I start playing Halo again, it's just going to be so fucking stressful. The same kids are going to be playing. They're going to be better than me. They're going to be teabagging me. They're going to be talking shit. They're going to be in my stream. I'm just like, I'm just like, I can't come back to streaming to that because I like, not that I stopped streaming because of it, but it was like, there was days like,

my mental was just chalked. Like, it would ruin my day. I would come here, stream. I would get two and a half hours of Halo in. Why do you give a fuck? Just like, well, at, you've been retired from Halo for how long? I know, but it's like, it's something,

I don't know what it, like, it's just my pride. It's like, I just know if I put it in the hours. Like, you're so bad. You're still trying to go, right? I'm like thinking like that. There's no way that you can keep up with these younger kids. Well, for one, I could. Even though you can't.

Not the, not. Because you used to play against plumbers, you used to play against window washers. I'm not, I'm not keeping up with the top four. I think I could come back maybe the top. These kids are pretty cracked. But like I'd be able to hang with them

if I really grinded. But I don't even remember my fucking point. Something. Valerent. Valerent. Oh, I didn't want to come back to streaming to Halo because when I stopped playing and like stopped streaming for a little bit,

like my days would be just like, I mean, not to sound dramatic, but it's like my days would just be fucking ruined. And I would like, I'd get off. I'd be thinking about it still. I mean, it really wasn't that bad. So I was like, all right, whenever I come back to streaming again, I'm just going to watch what I want to watch. Maybe react the shit or whatever.

Just, I don't know, click on random YouTube videos. Just watch random shit. Maybe I'll try a new game. And I was like, all right, I'll try Valerant. I'll probably end up playing this like two or three days. Now it's been like three weeks straight, just every single. the day. I'm texting Bose in the morning. Like, let's play. You know, the serious one. I was dominating with us. I went to sleep at like two or three.

And then I read a text from Nick. He's like, I'm getting up at four or whatever, five to go to the gym, da-da-da. And I set my alarm for 7.30. And I was like, I'll meet you. I'll meet you like halfway. And then we get on and play. It's fucking like 7.30 in the morning. Like our teammates talking shit to us. We're talking to them. Another kid on the other team's talking. I'm like, dude, it's 8 a.m. And we're fucking. I'll let down like 12 or 111. And I'm like, what are your two are up? Nine, three and then we're tied 12, 12.

I'm like, dude, this is not how I'm starting the day. I'm like, all right, let's just get some shit off our chest. I was like, and you fucking suck. Sage, your word. And then the kid in the game set started dying laughing. We were a fucking cry. It's been a pretty good time though. It's the first game I can.

It's like I actually am like, I'm actually down. I'm not even into like all that weird ability shit. Like I hate that. I love just if that game was standard I would still like it. Yeah just nothing but that shit is kind of you never play battalion right? No you would have loved that it's all that's and you would have Like I just never got into the like keyboard and mouse I'm just not like it's I'm glad I'm not even now I could To be able to play keyboard and mouse is a good skill to have because like if there's games that are like keyboard mouse games like you're gonna want to know how to play it

So it's good to get into it yeah I just don't feel comfortable especially if you start broadening your horizons once we you know we get a little older you start playing single player games, maybe hit that. Gondge. You know, vibe out a little bit. Play some Starfield. You're in a spaceship. Have you played Starfield? Have you played Starfield?

Not that much. You're in a spaceship. I know what your problem is with Valoran. Just by playing, you move too slow. When I was moving, I felt like I had like a weighted vest on. What's crazy is you hopped on and you didn't know what you're doing? So you're just like moving, shriping left and right. And the other people like actually weren't hitting you.

And one of my problems in Valeran is, not that I'm actually taking your advice serious. but like one of my problems is like I just move like a turtle sometimes I'm just so that's what I was gonna say like you've got to do that but yeah like hit like if I'm hitting a like hit D to stop yeah yes but sometimes but I'll do that and I'll hit it and then I'll just hold my fingers there and I'll just sit there and shoot to my die like it's like no straight fit like once I miss I don't start moving you got shoot move like you got to shoot like two bullets then move yeah two bullets move that's how I do it Or I just do that fucking, what are they called? Where like, all right, you shoulder out, you see someone.

And you go back in and you just completely shrieve and just think them. Like you stop. Like wide swing? Yeah, that shit is fire. Yeah, wide swing. It's crazy watching other, like I was watching Terrick. I've watched Demon 1 a little bit. And there's just like, dude, this gameplay is just, like, that's how I think my gameplay should be going.

It's just like thinking people. A lot of hours. Yeah. Dude, it's so. Dude, it's so... Like, they move how my character moves in Cod, but keyboard and mouth. So I think, I saw it on Steam the other day,

but CS was like the first tactical shooter. I mean, that's, it was basically CS and Valoran are like the only tactical shooters, really. But I had 1700 hours in CS, like, back there. So, like... When were you, what, like, years were you playing? Yeah, I was his name. What, like, years did you start playing?

Like, during, like, your Cod days, just when you were bored? Is that not, like, the most... During, like, the off season. Yeah, probably like IW off season into World War II, probably. You're just grinding that? Yeah, I feel like you like... And that definitely... You play those games off stream.

...carries over into Ballarat. Yeah, for sure. Like, you play those games off stream, though, mainly, right? No. But when you were grinding it? You were grinding counterfeit on. Oh, yeah, yeah, I wasn't streaming because I couldn't stream. That's when my internet was fucked.

But yeah, that's when I was playing it. Damn, 700 hours? It's a lot of hours. Even with CS2? Is there a topic of CS2? That is a lot of hours. 1,700? It was like 1643 or something like that.

1,700 hours? What is? How many days is that? I'm about to do, 1,700 hours divided by 2470. I can't get in days. Damn. That's typical. That was probably like one off season.

Damn, I was definitely a few years. A single off season. That tells me there were days. No, I played across multiple off seasons for sure. They just turned the air up and it's already freezing. I'm not cold personally. But yeah, it takes a while to get good at those games I wouldn't even say that

You have to like if you stop playing those games Like you just lose it so fast Like controller you can pick up the controller And like still be able to shoot Like mouse and key If you stop playing You just lose it You don't lose all of it but you like

You get reset Bro Bro My like pinkie's like For the chef He reaches like I'm fucking double jointed Yeah

Like I'll try to hit Bro I'm trying to It's hard right It's this hand but it's But it's like, my pinky like pops. And it's like, I can't. It's the only, like, as soon as my pinky goes like this, it's just like, it becomes weird. It's the thing I blame, I blame it on.

Imagine him just fucking shift walking like that. Yeah, bro. Because I'm, I'm like, ah. I'm like, ah. Yeah, that's, that's, uh, wait. So you're not coming to Kod next at all now. I wasn't invited, no. Oh, but I was going to go to hang out.

You're not coming to hang out? No, and don't think that I'm. I have anything against... Okay, well, I will be taking a company card. For what? What? Why are you there? We're representing the company?

Nobody asked you to? Nobody asked you to? Yeah, that's company guard. Who else is going? Me's Indian Shotsie. Who's chaperone on you guys? Me. No, hell, on the page.

Dude, what? I'm sending a page. We're not going to go that rogue. Dude, we're not assholes like that. You order more like an asshole than us. Yeah, let's get the caviar. Nobody needs it. Do I go to the club and spend $3,500 on four people?

That was different. It was a birthday. Okay. I've never gone to that road. And yes, I know how to eat. Okay, well, I wasn't the one to work. You're saying that you don't need caviar? You say that you don't need caviar.

I was not the one to eat caviar. Okay, but you say. I don't. You ordered two of them bitches. Yeah, but you say that you don't eat caviar. No. If we had the company car and it was us three, first of all, we're with shots. He's ordering chicken fingers.

Okay. Second of all. We don't go that row. Matt, do you have a company card? All right. You can have that one. I can have it? Yeah.

Oh. But you're not going, right? No. All right. I've got to be going. No, you're not. You got a cap on yours, right? We have a cap on yours?

Dude, we're going to get... It's like 85. We're going to get two dinners. We're going to get a dinner the night we get there probably. We're going to get a dinner the night before. Because we have two days before we even, like, do anything there. Yeah. Which is kind of fucking...

I like that. But, and then third day is the event, and then we leave the next day. So actually, we might get three dinners, depending on when the event ends on Thursday. I showed my shit would have said, restaurant, restaurant cookies. Nigs are like, what the fuck? Torquoise. What about Worlds turning up? World's?

At the club. I am trying, I'm going to try to only drink once at Worlds. Yeah, right. I'm going to save my drinking till Sunday. It's legal in Seattle to smoke cats. Why the fuck would you put your body through toxins like that? I can't do a watch party on cannabis. I'd have a panic attack.

Are you gonna drink while we're watching? I don't want to, but maybe if I start getting in comfy. It all takes it. Or just bored. A little push. I'll set it off and I say, yeah, well, if we're gonna drink, Friday's the day to drink. I'll be there Friday.

Because Friday pool play halo, it might be better because it's worlds. And I feel like the skill gap has definitely closed quite a bit in this halo, but. No, usually it's usually. I just say that because usually I go to events and it's like, well, I'm drinking on the flight there, drinking when I land, and then it's just being, and then I feel horrible. So, yeah. I never drink a long flight. But then I feel horrible when I get back. It's like, it's like fucking Chicago to L.A.

Yeah. I used to, I don't miss that. I don't miss that. I used to do the Jersey to Anaheim. Dude, that flight is like, what? On this one. That's like six, right? Six and a half?

Yeah. Oh, my. God, bro. I once did Miami to Seattle. That was the worst thing I've ever done. Just wake you wake up like four times. You're still in the plane. Oh, yeah.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Yeah, you got to find something to entertain yourself. You're groggy. Wait, what is it? Seven hours. I could have made it to London to that shit. Oh, my God.

Never again. Never again. Never again. Never again. Um, we should film something while we're there if you, oh fuck. For what? Hello Worlds? Yeah, like we should go crab fishing or something.

Oh, damn, I forgot we've been to Seattle ate at that spot. Don't we get there Wednesday? Yeah. I remember those times. We're not going to be able to, we're not going to have time. Because we don't, we don't fly until Thursday now. We got our flights changed so I could stream another day. It's like a table like this.

They just fucking put a whole bunch of just. Corn, sausage, fucking crab legs. Yeah. Yeah. Did they just change your flight? Or did they change everyone's flight? No, just me. So you can ask if you want to go Thursday, ask.

But you got to ask now. I think Michelle already got her flight, so it's like, like we're going together. Here, I'm going to teach you the glitch. Yeah, okay. I don't know if it works for everybody. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you got to have scale to do this. I think you got to have like, you know, some kind of like maybe, I don't know. Rewards program.

But anytime I need something with a flight, I just DM them on Twitter. I never call, go through the app. I just DM on Twitter. Hey, can I have your confirmation number? Do, do, do. Really? Can we charge this car? that book to fly 30 bucks for the chance

yeah sure really so bro I'll try that because I would rather go Thursday than fucking Wednesday which pick airline American I bet what did you say I was texting I just I

I um he uses DMs on social media as customer service oh my God they probably they probably just every flight look is that for Monday

a little earlier since I have to check out of my hotel does any. That was for Monday. 520s person. There's no way they do that with everyone, though. I don't have to be the FOTS. If you have some followers. If you have 600K, they're going to do it. But it's still like easy. It's still dope.

It's like concierge. You don't got to wait. I'm actually tried that. Flights canceled. Just shoot them a DM. Because I'm trying to stay another day, stream. I'm on my shit. Got some momentum.

Been running. I'm on a running program. Yo, I was going to say, that's inspirational. Yeah, I wish I. I mean that. I just don't know how to turn it into action. Because I'm like, man, this guy was up at 4 a.m. this morning in the gym. And then like an hour later, he was like jogging and shit.

I don't want to say running because I'm streaming. And then three hours later, I'm content. It doesn't end. Finally. Finally. No. But finally. You're making up for lost fucking time.

Yeah. After this, he's back to fucking knee. Oh, my plant. Well, I have so much. Neat. Just 3 p.m. Yeah. But here's why I did it.

I've been streaming every single day. And today, I think we have content from now until like 2.30 or 3. So it's just like, I'm just going to use this day. It's just not the stream. But last night, I was like, I'm kind of tired. I could probably fall asleep right now. If I fall asleep now, wake up at 4 a.m., get done, gym, food, and everything by like 7. Stream by 7.

7 to 10, little short stream. That way, I don't have to take a day off and content. and then. I woke up so early just to like get all that shit over with it. I could vouch the days where I wake up early, don't realize, do shit. And then I look at the time,

it's like 11.30. And I just feel like it does, those feel like the most productive. I'm energized. Like, been telling you all about this early morning grind, yo. It's hard,

bro. You know how hard it was? Like, I wanted to get up and play Valoran at 7. I set my alarm for 715 or whatever. Just getting up was just, it's like physically hard. I'm like,

I feel literally just momentic. Are you getting up to feed the baby in the middle of the night? Dude, you're fucking up my future place. What future place? All right, let me put it in perspective. If there's someone watching this podcast, that's like, I fuck with those. I want to take me out. Then they hear, I, back, here's a baby mom.

I don't got no fun. Bro. Like, you know what I'm saying? They're like, ah, it's false information. If you could afford it, who cares? Oh, I can't put that on my jazz. He doesn't have baby mamas. Thank you.

I don't know. Waking up early is the, it's just momentum, but this has been like three, four weeks for me. After just like, dude, I couldn't even wake up before like 10 a.m. I just felt like, I mean, it's crazy because like back in Scuff House, I'm up at 3 p.m. And it's like, I felt like a loser, but if I was up at noon at the Scuff House, I was like, fuck yeah, it's going to be a productive.

Like, just like on some, you went to sleep at randomly at like one or two. Just on my own, like at home. Yeah, yeah, type shit. Like, in the last five years? Yeah. Maybe 11.30. Maybe. What?

Like, just random time. Like, you fall asleep at, like, one or two. What's the latest you, like, woke up? When's the latest that I wake up? Yeah. I mean, if I like. Wake up? Wake up?

Like, wake up? Like, wake up. The latest I've woken up. Yeah. Oh, okay. The latest you've woken up, my bad. I'd probably say, like. 930, 10.

If I try, yeah, if I try to sleep in, I can sleep into like 11, but I usually wake up around like 9.30. Like I, dude, I can't get past like 8.45, 9. I can lay around. I feel like you've always been like that. Dude, even then like the shophouse and shit. But like if I, if I like force myself to sleep till 12, I just feel like shit when I wake up. Yeah. I'm just like. Over sleep. I just, I'm just, I used to get up and go to the gas station like duty number one. Oh, yeah. He's got his morning routine. Yeah, everyone knows

everyone knows. Sammy. What up, Mark? He knows. Russian cream? Oh man. I hate when I... Yeah, yeah, yeah. When I used to smoke the Siggs, when I used to smoke the Sigs, I'd be with a girl or something.

He'd be like, Camel Crush, I'm... Oh, smack to the... Why would you say that in front of here? I don't smoke no damn Sigs, Sammy. No, what I did. Camel Crush, I'm looking like... Why, you don't want your girl to know that you smoke?

No, I mean, at the time... You don't want them to know that you smoke. You don't want them to know that you got baby... What else don't you want them to know? What else don't you want them to know? I don't know. Fucking Versy color, whatever? how I got diagnosed with it.

For real. I woke up with a rash. I'm like, what the fuck? Yo, I have a white spot right here. You see it? Versi color. Is that what it is? No lie.

So what does it do? It's like, we found out. I just haven't missed a little kid. Yeah, that's probably what it is. Manchas. They used to call me Don Chamas. I don't know me like that. I don't call me Don't Chemos.

What does that mean? I don't know. My sister made it up. The evil one. The dark horse. It's another word for Damien. Yo, what's up?

What's up with a... Okay, first of all, we need to have a talk about our arrangement with iTunes. Okay? Why are you looking at me? Because you're the only one that uses it. Oh, like at home.

I know the hex quarters ain't using it no more. Oh, okay. Yeah, let's hear. What do you got to say? You bought Barbie, and we agreed that you're only going to buy movies that I'm also going to watch. Do you live to watch that?

They have their own iTunes. Okay. Well, no, they have it. Now they don't have to buy it on their iTunes. They have it on yours. I saved you the trouble. Two. What's the one that you just bought?

Ferris Bueller's Day Off? That was my mom. That was my mom. Well, she was at the... Yeah, you're going to yell at my mom? Kristen? 20 bucks. If I say it's a great purchase, bro, I don't even watch movies.

You know that. Yeah, but you've seen that. Like, you can get that on Netflix for free. My mom wanted to watch it. So we watched it. What do you hate on my mom? Okay. Didn't know that.

Okay. Any other problems? Talk to me. It's one of the best horror movies that's come out recently. Watch it. We haven't even watched it yet. I need a good movie. So you just bought it.

It's this there for whatever we want. I need a good movie. You couldn't wait until it. We are going to watch it though. It's not like we're not going to watch it. You should have bought it when you were about to watch it because we were about to watch it. And then we didn't. But we're about to.

Now you bought another one. No. And then the other thing is it is like, that would buy it. He had to buy it. He had best buy it. his house, they brought him three iTunes and he wanted me to give him the password for all of them. Because I got, I got to approve it on my phone.

And then he's like, yo, let me get that coat again. I'm like, is this the time where I skate off from? Yeah, I was like, I don't know. Why are you hating, man? I'm not hating. Dude, you can, you can afford a little $15 fucking movie. Only me? Only I can afford that.

They were both going to watch. Only I can afford that? Who, it's the only I can afford that? It's the least you can do. Only I can afford that. The least I can do. Just buy me a couple movies. Fuck that.

What are you going to buy me some movies? Man, I'm going to Cod Next. Like, I'm out here, you know, represent the company. I'm representing the company out there. Oh, man, you volunteer for that. That had nothing to do with Optic. Are you going to have, you don't even have logos? Are you going to have a logo on the stream?

Matt, make sure that when he streams, Cod Next, Yeah, I have my carousel. To tell me if there's an Optic Gaming logo permanently installed on like a watermark, if not that it's not a company outing. Okay. Thank you, Matt. That's fine. That's fine.

But you're not going to, let me guess, catch. Catch might be in the road station. Tao might be in the most viviest restaurant I've ever been to. I think catch is vivious restaurant. Have you ever been to town? No. Catch L.A. Does Catch have the statue of the woman with all those arms, like, symmetrically just gorgeous?

That shit does go crazy. Wait, where did we go in Vegas, the restaurant, remember? Catch and the cathedral. Oh, that was catch. Okay. And cathedral. There were girls in that hallway for three hours. I remember we ate, we came back out, they were still out there taking pictures. It was insane.

Just bought, like, like three hours. Literally. Wake up. I wish I can go, wake up. Unless they had just finished when we finished. out there for like three hours. No, they must have finished when we finished. They had to have. If they didn't, that was insane. No, but I mean, it's a... It was cool. I fucked with catch.

Now, catch is, catch is, catch is viby, and it's good food. Somebody, yeah. And it's free. For you, it comes at a cost. It's coming out of someone's pocket. It's coming out of someone's pocket. It's coming out of the money that we make with our, with our viewers. You know, I'm saying? With our viewership. You know, we got great sponsors all the time. The the cause. Part of the interruption, but let me tell you a little bit about rocket money. If you, like me, as you'll hear in this podcast, are signed up to different subscriptions everywhere and you just don't know how to keep track of all of them.

You don't know if you're double paying for one. I was paying for two show times for the longest time. Three, if you count the one that Jude was paying for, my wife.

Think about how many free trials you've subscribed to that you probably never canceled. That's why I'm such a big fan of Rocket Money. Okay. Because subscriptions for everything, they have subscriptions for everything these days, for everything. We have optagnation, like we even do it. You know what I'm saying?

So your dog's not going to get fed then. Whoever goes to feed that dog is going to get that PlayStation. That's true. That's cool. Yo, you know what I find the most hilarious thing. ever and I'm glad that it's a thing, but I'm also ready for it to not be a thing anymore. This, the wives telling their husbands, is like, yo, isn't it cool that Travis, oh, that the Taylor Swift is putting this, this player on the map finally? Bro, that's the funniest shit in the world.

That is like, I don't get it. Well, it's funny. I get it's Taylor Swift, but, like, I don't get her fans. Like, her fans are buying tickets to football games just in hopes of seeing her. Yeah. It's fucking nuts. No, it's not. You're going to see her.

but like the what? The only thing I don't like anyone that much The only thing I find weird about that is that in this day

in age you shouldn't be like back in the day when the internet wasn't a thing I would have gone anywhere to see Michael Jackson you're like What though?

Yeah yeah yeah yeah you know what I get but nowadays you can see her literally everywhere yeah

but it's hilarious it's like you know the way that they present the husband and they're turning him up

by the shots out the Swifties though they're some real fans they hold it down for the Yeah, shout out to the Swifties.

You wish the, the carrot tops? What's the name of your subs? BTH. Does BTH? Pretty much, that's how it goes when I pop out. That's fucking. Yeah, BTH, like, that's what they do. I mean, I go to events.

And that. That is one of the, that's the best one. That's the funniest thing. I sent it to live in Jude, and they're like, oh my God, I can't believe. I'm like, they're joking. And she's like, yeah, I know. But like, I think someone are like, kind of serious.

Because there are people who have never heard of Travis Kelsey. And, oh yeah, yeah, yeah. And there, somebody was also,

now what they're saying is like, yeah, but she's only with him for his money. And then they're like, wait, time out.

Travis Kelly, but it's a joke. It's a joke. Like, they're saying that as a joke. Like, yeah, she's knowing full well

that she makes. She's a billionaire. Yeah. Well, they're probably saying he's with her for her money. Sure,

whatever. She's got paper. But anyway, They were like, let's see. Travis Kelsey makes $12 million a year. Taylor Swift would be making $90 million. How much does she make per? And she worth like $800?

Her heiress tour, I think, I saw somewhere she made like multiple hundred thousand of millions. Look, according to Forbes, Taylor Swift's Nestor's Nessworth is submitted to, okay. Or multiple hundreds of millions, not hundreds of dollars. The singer makes $150 million per year. Think about that. No, she, bro, these last shows, like, she was making, like, what, like 20 mil per show?

More? Bro, Mark Cuban was talking about the economic impact that she has. Yeah, I did. Who was, was you saying that? Someone was literally just said, I can't remember, but maybe it was Hilton that they were saying, like, she, like, positively affected the economy. Yeah. It was just, she did great business. That's probably crazy.

Yeah, no, it's crazy. Her fandom is crazy. He's probably who's as big as her? Like worldwide? Drake, Taylor. Drake is not as big as her. Not as her.

But shit, Selena Gomez is pretty big. Selena is massive. Who has more followers on Instagram? Selina or? Bieber. Probably Selena. Yeah.

Even Bieber's like that like top five elite is like Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, probably Selena Gomez. Pesa Pluma. We can't put Drake up there? As famous worldwide famous? I don't think we can't.

I don't think we can. Oh, Kylie. Damn, Salinas number three, which makes you the most followed woman on all of Instagram. Wait, wait, who's one, two, three? One guy, one is Ronaldo. One's Ronaldo for sure. Okay, who's one? Oh, the Instagram.

Okay. That makes sense. You ought to follow that. So, Cristiano with, how many? 602 million people. He gets 12 million likes on his picture. Then you have the greatest of all time, Leonardo Messi. Or I don't know if it's Leonardo.

Then Selena Gomez. That is crazy that you took a picture with it. Kylie. That's the most famous woman in the world. It is kind of weird. And then Paige cooks with her. Ain't that nuts? Yeah.

Oh, Ariana Grande. It's weird how like normal it was. Like how just the whole hangout was just like so normal. It wasn't. Well, you were also on Mars. I also don't remember anything. I think it was normal. But I'm sure like a lot of them are like that.

Taylor Swift is 271. But like this is, dude, that's insane to me. Like good for like, I don't know how she lives life though. You know what I'm saying? Like not being able to go anywhere. Yeah. That's. Would you want to be that famous?

I mean, I say I want it, but it's like. Hell no, you would not. Not that famous. I would not want to be. No, I would not want to be. Bro, I was telling Ninja at Matt, so I'm like, I'm like, dude, my brain could not do what you do. If you got, what if you had to, if you were to have that money, but you were that famous, would you trade what you have now? Not like trade what you have, like you still have your obviously family and stuff, but you're now that famous with that money.

You're doing it? I can't do it. Yes, yes, the answer is yes. I would rather have that money no matter the cost. But there would be something in my brain that it's just like hates the fact that I'm like, man, I can't. Bro, that puts everyone in Crossfire. That should be crazy, man. But there's also, like, you probably feel cool.

Like, I can't go buy my own ingredients. I feel cool now. But I can't go to the store, to the Mexican store and buy my own ingredients. Yeah, and, like, feel like cool. Like, just, like, in and out. Like, I got to do this. Like, celebrities care about how they dress everywhere they go. Like, they have to think about it.

I'm going into, if I'm going to a dentist, I'm waking up, keeping the same shirt I just went to sleep on, maybe change my pants, push my teeth and just go. Yeah.
