Starting point is 00:00:55 This episode is brought to you by better help and factor. We'll tell you a little bit more about them later on in the episode. For the 100th episode, I figured there'd be, well, I didn't figure it. The production team figured they'd be. figured there'd be a really good time to sort of reminisce to sort of look back over the last decade of podcast
Starting point is 00:01:11 that we've done in the fact in the last 14 years we've only gotten to 100 episodes is... Well, to be fair... This is only... So this is like... Yeah, since we moved to Texas.

I don't realize it until like, I'm getting towards, you know, the final chapter of my session. And then I look at the camera and then... It was blue.
Starting point is 00:02:15 No, it was still white. And then I was thinking to myself, like, could he be watching? And then I just finished. And then I just looked at the camera and... Then I look at the camera and I was just like... Oh, that's what I'm just... That is interesting. Do you think you're saying, like, if I'm about to fight an animal, like, I'll sacrifice my left arm.
Starting point is 00:02:41 You know what I'm saying? I feel like you got to fight dirty, though. Yeah. Yeah, it's a wild. Like, you fucking turk right. Bro, what they say, what they say is, if they bite you, all you have to do is shove your hand down their throat. They're just like, oh. Oh.

Well, man, that was one of, that's, I mean, shit, man, it's been like seven years and we're still talking about it. One of the most memorable eyes. It didn't even happen to us.

Did you guys see us talk about how we were ranked number one? No. Did we tweet about it? Absolutely not. Do you know why? Because we let the work do the talking.
Starting point is 00:10:07 Are you kind of... Did I just talk about it? Yeah, you're kind of talking about. Anyway, thank you guys. Everybody that's watched us from the beginning of time, everybody that has been here from the start, from the jump, and doesn't miss it. We thank you and we will continue to provide entertainment for you
Starting point is 00:10:23 at least on an hourly basis, on a weekly basis. For an hour, on a weekly basis. Yeah. For the rest of our lives. Episode 100, too. That's crazy. Episode 1,000 happens. What do you think we need to do in order?
Starting point is 00:10:35 Like, how many would we have to double up on a weekly basis to be able to do that? I was looking over on Matt, and he's like, I was doing the math. He starts crying. He's like, I don't want to. No, thank you, truly. So, 1,019. 19 years. That's like a real possibility, I feel.
Starting point is 00:10:53 Yes. Yeah. Yeah, we can do it. How are you going to be in 20 years? That'd be 51 51 I will be 62 Are you
Starting point is 00:11:02 How old Same right How am I 50 You'll be 50 So you're 30 Almost Are you really 30
Starting point is 00:11:08 Like two months away Yeah Two months away from Turning the three The big 30 What about you 27 27
Starting point is 00:11:15 Jesus Christ I'm gonna tell you something Like that I clutch By By 29 I had my first kid How old are you
Starting point is 00:11:23 31 When do you think Oh yeah It's not 29 What about 35? Can't see you that. Yeah? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:32 Do you plan? Can't wait too late. No, I know, of course. But like, is it like, do you, I, I knew when I was a young, young man that I was going to have a kid. A kid by the time I was 29. How many was off with the bait at that point? You knew by 29? I knew that, I knew that for a fact that at 29 years old, I was going to have a kid.
Starting point is 00:11:48 Is that because you wanted to be like a certain age when your kid was a certain age? Yeah, no, I wanted to get my 20s. I wanted to have my career all set. I wanted to make sure that I wasn't going to, you know, just. have a kid for having a kid's sake. I'm going to be in a bad situation and bring another human into a bad situation. And the 30s is family building time?
Starting point is 00:12:04 Yeah, in my opinion. Yeah. If I also do it all over again, I think I would have maybe had her young. I mean, if I was going to have Olivia exactly how she is today at 25, then I think I would have. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:19 Because you've got to time it, right? But that's also you putting a lot of pressure on yourself. A lot of responsibility. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. plan on time and it no it if it happens that's good what about you he's getting old uh yeah probably soon soon yeah like next one really that's just kidding that's that's pretty cool um yeah that's good i i i always knew from the second that i started this thing being the old guy
Starting point is 00:12:50 that i was when i started this thing that i will get to see like every one of you become a grown-ass man, right? Like seeing Scump, obviously, recently get engaged, seeing nature, getting engaged, seeing, you know, I'm saying, this dude, get a house and, you know, everybody. And engaged. And engaged. Yeah. And engaged. Yeah. When's the wedding? Still don't have a plan for example. Listen, just, I'm going to remind you of some. I engaged, I got engaged for like, we waited like five years to get married. Five years? Yeah. That's not going to be that long. Yeah. That's what, that's what I did. So, you know, what I, what I said, it's like, you know, she, I was, I was ready. I was ready. I was ready to be taking off the,
Starting point is 00:13:26 market. I wasn't, you know, doing that. Anyway, let's get into the podcast. Lots to talk about, obviously, as I just mentioned, it being the 100th episode is a very special occasion because, you know, who would have thought? Now, the thing is, is that I still haven't filmed the 100th episode for the eavesdrop podcast and we're on like episode 140 something. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:48 Right? And the reason that I haven't done it is because I had, I was either going to do. But you just skipped 100? Yeah, because I skipped 100 because I wanted to be, you know, special. wanted to either be the dynasty team with Crim 6 in it. So, Crim, um, formal,
Starting point is 00:14:02 formal Seth and, uh, karma, but obviously Crim has his own podcast, so he, he didn't want to do it. Um, so now I'm like,
Starting point is 00:14:09 okay, maybe I'll do a 60-50 one. You didn't want to come on just because he has his own podcast? Yeah, he said, he said that he, he played that game for too long where he was actually like, he was creating content for other people's benefit is the way that,
Starting point is 00:14:21 that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, he wants to do,
Starting point is 00:14:24 He said he wanted to do half fun. The Eves drop half on his own podcast. Now, yeah, but now, you know what I'm saying? But at first he was like, nah. Just come on your podcast and then just plug the shit out of it. That's what I was saying. That's what I told. I mention your podcast and then.
Starting point is 00:14:41 That's whatever. That's how you build podcasts. That's what the text said. But, you know, I understand. Not mad at the dude. I appreciate what he did for Optic and fairly respect him as a competitor and it's a human. So, FTX, why don't you give us the rundown on what's happening with FTCS?
Starting point is 00:15:00 This is the finance portion, the crypto finance portion of the podcast. It's brought to you by, not FTX, but I wish it would have been. Green Wall Street. Brought to you by Greenwallstreet.com. Can you tell us a little bit about greenwallstreet.com? Greenwallstreet.com, yeah, that's my active trading community. So we do a lot of day trading, investing sort of thing. It's mainly run on Discord.
Starting point is 00:15:19 So every day we trade live in the market and, you know, try to make some cash. Yeah. Cool. And obviously you've done a lot, you've done a lot of good work for your, for your members. I see you posting like successful days from your community traders that I just had a $1,500 day. Time to go home. Yeah. This year's been a little bit more difficult, but it's still been, it's been decent. Luckily, nobody was invested in FTX. Is that, I don't know how much we can say. We can't make like accusations though. No, I'm just saying. We still don't really know like exactly what happened, but apparently this guy. By this point, I, you can tell me anything. And I'd be like, huh. I believe it. Apparently, okay, so you got Sam Bankman-Fried. He was running this FTX exchange and a whole lot of smart people. You remember when we did the eavesdrop podcast, we talked about crypto and like Web3, and we said just because a whole lot of smart people are involved.
Starting point is 00:16:10 Like, it must be, it must be a big deal. I think this is a situation where there were so many smart people involved, like Sequoia, Tom Brady was invested, Shaq apparently was invested. And everybody just started to believe this guy. And he essentially just blew up this firm overnight. So you got FTX and then you have Alameda Research, which is like a hedge fund that he also owned. And he was taking money, apparently, allegedly.
Starting point is 00:16:36 Allegedly. From FTX's clients' deposits. So you know when you put money in a bank, they don't actually just keep it sitting in a bank. They're taking it in a real estate. He was investing it in like super high risk crypto, you know, trading, losing people's money. And then essentially that shit just blew up every night.
Starting point is 00:16:53 And then there was a run on the exchange. People started getting nervous. And I think they ended up withdrawing like $8 billion over a couple of days. So how many people? How many people lost money? Everybody. The thing with those mega wealthy, mega smart people that invested into this thing is the fact that they can market office a loss and no harm, no foul. I'm not talking about just the investors that lost money.
Starting point is 00:17:18 Oh, you're talking about people. Oh, you're just the clients too, like millions of people for sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Can you look up how much was lost? But it started to become super interesting and every single day just kept getting worse and worse and worse. First, it's like, hey,
Starting point is 00:17:32 FTX is shutting down or shutting down some of the portions of the company and then all of a sudden this dude gets in a private plane and it's on his way to Argentina. And they're tracking his private jet on his way to Argentina. And I'm like, holy shit, this thing keeps on getting more and more, more interesting.
Starting point is 00:17:47 And then it comes out and the political stuff like really whether you're a Republican or a Democrat, it doesn't matter. I don't give a fuck about your beliefs. Don't mind about mine. But the thing is, is that because the company is short $8 billion, and there's only two of conceivable categories, can you make it a little bit bigger?
Starting point is 00:18:07 Thank you. There are two categories of explanations that happened to the $8 billion. The first is that they traded it in speculative investments and lost it. In other words, it's gone. Or they stole it. This is Gerstein. This is just a conversation between two people, right? That they were sort of examining it.
Starting point is 00:18:26 The crazy part of this, though, is the power of Twitter. Because seemingly this could have kept going on, but the CEO of finance in, like, the most 3D chess play of all time. You'll appreciate this. Like, he came out and tweeted that, hey, we're just going to sell a whole lot of this FTX coin. Because FTX had their own coin. They were holding like $5 billion worth of it. He came out and said, we're just going to sell like $200 million, $300 million.
Starting point is 00:18:49 And then people are like, wait. And then he comes out and says, well, we think there's going to be some sort of liquidity issue at FTX. Like we don't think they're going to be able to cover client withdrawals. And that starts the domino effect. And then one person starts withdrawing and everybody hits at the same time. He essentially just bankrupt his competitor from a tweet. One tweet wipes out this dues net worth goes from 16 billion to zero in a week. Crazy shit.
Starting point is 00:19:16 Damn. Crazy. Yeah. So, you know, it. And then there was apparently, I mean, bring up the contributions to the Democratic political party. Oh, yeah. Apparently, he was like the second biggest donor to the Democratic Party. Yeah, so he donated a bunch of money to that.
Starting point is 00:19:36 And then from there, the conspiracies just started to blow up. Well, they did some little bit more research and then they realized that the Democratic Party through Joe Biden then granted a bunch of, I'm waiting for Matt to bring this up, but granted a bunch of money to Ukraine, and now this thing just like even blew up even more. It became a political thing more than it was just a finance thing, and it just became the biggest fucking shit show that's ever hit. But this is what I mean with all these smart people involved. It almost gets to a point where you see people investing in something,
Starting point is 00:20:04 and you know that they are extremely, like, successful, smart investors, and you believe that, like, hey, they invested a billion dollars in here. They probably did their due diligence. So you're like, okay, I'll just throw $50 million, $100 million. And you get all these people involved, and it allows, like, right? to just build and build. Also, the fact that, like,
Starting point is 00:20:23 y'all remember how crazy shit was in 2020 and 2021. Everybody was, it was a fucking mania. And, like, those are the types of environments that just allows this stuff to build. Yeah, so $38 million to various candidates and PACs mainly, giving the cash of Democratic candidates and left-wing groups,
Starting point is 00:20:40 according to federal elections commissions, the FEC, the majority of its political givings, though, went to the protect our future pack a group funded in January I brought my eyesight is pretty good sometimes but right now I can't there we go anyway scroll down this is the dude
Starting point is 00:20:59 this is the dude and it's because he looks like a nice guy look at him like he does he I think so he looks like someone you wouldn't I don't know they always look like that though the ones you don't expect he looks like this guy he plays League of Legends all the time does he yeah that's why he went ahead and
Starting point is 00:21:15 donate it or I'm sorry that's why he went ahead and created a, what is it, the sponsorship that they did, the advertising sponsorship that they did with TSM where they gave a $210 million deal over 10 years, I believe, which is $21, obviously $21 million a year for the last two years. My thought immediately was like, although everybody around, right, is like very, very skeptical and very protective
Starting point is 00:21:37 and very sort of, in some cases, very diligent as to where they put their money, my thing was like, well, fuck man, Reggie saw that somebody wanted to spend $21 million a year on changing the team name and advertising on that. It's his favorite team. So they said, yeah. So you're saying TSM still got 42 out of this. TSM still got the 42, and now they get to just be TSM again.
Starting point is 00:22:01 And that... TSM plus 42 million. Yeah, TSM plus 42 million. Shout out Reggie. Not a bad deal. And again, Reggie... I don't want to even say his name, right? The founder.
Starting point is 00:22:13 But TSM did what they would do as a media company. somebody wants to advertise on them, whatever amount they want to advertise is what they're going to sort of advertise towards. And if somebody was to ask me, Hector, how much would it take for you to change the name Optic to Optic Game Fuel or Optic Scuff or something like that? You know, 21 mil sounds good to me. 21 million a year sounds good to me for the next, you know, three and then we will reset. But the fact of the matter is TSM did what they were supposed to do, which is accept the money and then in return give some deliverables
Starting point is 00:22:47 that would advertise FTX as a as a company. But, you know, this whole thing around crypto and I'm not defending crypto and I'm not defending our traditional finance either, but everything's down right now, big time, right? Oh, yeah, it's been a tough year. We're seeing some dark times. Yeah, man.
Starting point is 00:23:06 And it's not slowing down. The Warren Buffett said, when the tide goes out, you realize who is swimming naked. And we're definitely finding that out this year. But yeah, it's those environments like 2020. in 2021 where everybody's making money and there's so much leverage and nobody fucking cares because everybody's making
Starting point is 00:23:21 so much money that shit like this just it happens and you just overlook it and like I said once it starts it's tough to stop but it always comes to an end it happens to the mortgage industry yep all right we were fucking
Starting point is 00:23:37 caking of course we were I was I could not believe my bank account back in that day this is before internet this before it's during the internet but before like social media and before like optic right so for me to see the amount of money that was making back then i'm like holy fuck i'm out of the matrix um and then all of a sudden obviously it came crashing down because mortgages were being sort of i mean you guys have all seen your favorite movie uh which is the big short the big short if you haven't really really good movie uh but it sort of explains what what happened back then and i was dagnab in the middle of it i worked for a company called long beach mortgage which was then acquired by wamo obviously crash and burn then acquired by uh by chase bank and that's where it ended up. But it was good times, but very, very bad for the economy.
Starting point is 00:24:21 All right, let's go back, let's go back to the topics because I want to continue on. So again, you know, this isn't where the, the thing is like, this is an ongoing thing, right? Yeah, they just spotted him.
Starting point is 00:24:32 They just spotted him in Cuba, Matt. Was that right? The Bahamas? Did you see that? He lived in the arms. So he's on the run. He's on the run with $10 billion somewhere. He was apparently supposed to speak,
Starting point is 00:24:44 I think today. Today's Friday? Yeah. He's supposed to speak at a conference with like, I forget who the other three. I want to say Tom Brady was one. About this? No, it was scheduled like months ago. So I don't know if he's going to be doing it.
Starting point is 00:24:56 Tom Brady's not going to that. I don't know. Tom Brady might just want to go to the Bahamas. Oh no, he's got. Yeah, he's playing. He's probably playing. Yeah, he's probably playing. Never mind.
Starting point is 00:25:07 But yeah, this is this is an ongoing thing. It's still not done. It's still not over. Like where the fuck does this thing end is what I want to. No. You don't know how systemic it is and like how many people are invested and one person goes bankrupt and that cause is the same thing. Yeah. I mean, Bitcoin, they're saying that Bitcoin is going to go as like this is not financial advice, nor this is me suggesting anything. But, you know, but take your life savings. Bitcoin, no, Bitcoin went from 69,000 to this. What's it at today, man? Do you know? Do you know?
Starting point is 00:25:41 16,000. It's a 16,000 today. but they're saying that it might go as low as 3K again. Look at that thing. Ooh, the amount of billions of dollars. Now, big timer. As a smart dude, if you would have invested in Bitcoin super early on and then you got your theory proven
Starting point is 00:26:00 that this thing was going to go somewhere and you become a billionaire. Do you take that shit out immediately? I probably wouldn't even wait for a billion. Once you make $5 million, 10, I'm out. That's it. That's the thing is it's so hard to like, you know, you look back and,
Starting point is 00:26:13 You'll even see it, not just with Bitcoin, but like if you invested $10,000 in Amazon in 1999, you'd have, dude, as soon as you see like 10K or 20K, you'd be like, oh, I'm saying. Nobody sits through that entire run. And you've got to lose 90% like five times along the way. Nobody does that. Nobody plays with house money.
Starting point is 00:26:32 Yeah, that's you. No matter how hard you try. I never even, like, thought, I don't know anything about the shit. So I never thought about that before. Once you see a million bucks in the account, you're just going to be like, oh, I'm just going to take it.
Starting point is 00:26:43 That's mine. Well, you have to see like, yo, I don't want this shit to get stuck. Exactly. Exactly. You'd have to actually see like, you know, 1.5 so that, you know, after tax, so after taxes, you could still be a millionaire. If you invested $4 into Uber in 2002, now you could be a millionaire. You know, early on, call it 2015.
Starting point is 00:27:07 When did we move into the house? Which? 60-50? 2013. Summer in 2013, in 2013, 2014, 2014. I told my, the guy that was selling me my house that I would trade him 10% of optic for the house. The big house, the brown, the chaco, chaco.
Starting point is 00:27:23 Really? Yeah. And he says, yeah, I just, you know, no. Thank God. Thank the Lord. Yeah. So, yeah, it would have been good for him. But, you know, we were desperate to find a house
Starting point is 00:27:38 and I thought that this was the best way to put you guys in the house that would look good on camera. But we ended up getting 60-50. which then turns to 60 filthy because how dirty some people were and then it became way better humble beginnings you know what I mean
Starting point is 00:27:52 so big timer obviously through Green Wall Street you made many many many people millionaires not sure about that but anyway as a person that trace on a daily basis the amount of institutional figures and people who do this as experts
Starting point is 00:28:11 on a daily basis are saying that it's still we still haven't seen the worst that's still a cold, cold, cold reality is down the line with the recession that's forthcoming. Do you believe in that? Nobody fucking knows.
Starting point is 00:28:24 At the end of the day, you just buy the S&P 500, you just keep buying it all the time. Because even if you can predict what's going to happen to the economy, markets bottom, like six to eight months before the economy does. So shit is going to look darkest
Starting point is 00:28:36 at the bottom. And by the time everything turns around, markets already rebounded. And you're going to be like, what the fuck? It's already happened. So markets are, like forward looking, don't try to fucking
Starting point is 00:28:45 time that shit. If you want to learn to trade you can do that. At greenwallstreet.com. But yeah, in terms of the overall market and the economy, most professionals, people that spend their lives doing it. So take all that with a grain of salt.

Starting point is 00:32:53 So Mr. Beast, obviously, hey, let's let's let's, you know, we, we skipped one. Can we talk about the Warzone 2 launch? Because I've been playing a little bit. Oh, what? Warzone 2? Warzone 2? Yeah. I mean, I didn't see it all the way up there.
Starting point is 00:33:04 Yeah, Warzone 2 launched officially. tiny tiny tiny I mean like half the people are crazy about it And like it and like I like let's start with you It seems like it's like pretty like it I just hate the only thing Makes me lose full every fucking time I start Playing this damn game
Starting point is 00:33:19 When they update the game it goes to shit Like how like what like why How the fuck is my friendsless disappearing And then I click this and it's just Fetching profile Dev error Waiting for data centers Scanning repair bro like come on bro
Starting point is 00:33:36 Like, it's one thing after another. I fuck with the game, but it's... Do you like the inventory system? Well, at first, no. Like, the first few games, I didn't like it, but now it's like, I'm used to it, so I'm quick with it. It's not as bad, no. And, like, even when you go into a backpack, it does automatically just grab, like, all the plates and the ammo and all that. So it's not as bad as I thought, but I do miss the Warzone one.
Starting point is 00:33:56 I like, they got to add, you know, when you're plating up and running, they got to put that in. Yeah. And the, bro, I don't know if it did this. I don't think so, but you... All right. So you just land into a game, they're going to get down. Like they kill you, you go down. You come back from the goo, you instantly just, it's like a normal kill.
Starting point is 00:34:13 Oh, yeah, yeah. See, that apparently is a glitch. Oh, okay. Like, if you come back from the gulag and you don't go down, you just die. If you come back. And I think that might be a glitch right now. That's what I've heard. Because if you get bought back from your friends list.
Starting point is 00:34:28 You go down? You go down. Yeah, yeah. What do you go down? Like get knocked. Like last stand, basically? Oh. Like you don't get knocked if you come back from the group.
Starting point is 00:34:36 you just strongly got out. I'm so confused. I have, to be fair, I've only played it for maybe four hours total. Yeah. And Matt found me a guy that's going to rank up my weapons, at least my AR, my SMG, and my sniper. But what do you mean? So like, so if you go to the gulag, you win the gulag, you win, you come out. Come out. Next time some, you get into a gunfight,
Starting point is 00:34:53 you will not get knocked. You will straight up die. Oh, that's not supposed to be that way, right? Right. I think it's a glitch. Okay. I'm fairly positive. That's a glitch. But, I mean, what do you, so overall, what do you give it? Do you wish you were playing it right now? Yes. Okay. I can't really.
Starting point is 00:35:14 I think that I think it's got a lot of potential. Yeah. I hope they fix all the bugs. Do you like the 2v2 Gulag shit? I think that's decent. I think it's all right. But that big ass juggernaut comes out. I haven't met anybody that just,
Starting point is 00:35:29 because apparently if both teams just eliminate the jailer, everybody goes back to the jailer. I haven't met one team that tries to do that show. Everybody's like that. Everyone just fights each other. Yeah. It's human nature. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:40 No, it's fun. I like that. I go into it, I think people that go into it thinking that it should be like Warzone 1 are going to have a bad time. I agree. But if you go into it thinking that this is a new game, it has nothing to do with Warzone 1 and play it the way that it's meant to be played, which is slower and more tactical. Very slow. It's fun. Like, I can play slow games.
Starting point is 00:36:03 I played fucking, y'all ever played Hell Let Loose, World War I game on Steam? Super popular. I saw the videos on YouTube, but it's hell of slow. It's like 100 versus 100. Insta die, and people are literally just laying down, like the entire time.
Starting point is 00:36:16 But it's like when you go into it knowing that that's the game, you play it that way, and it's fun. So, I don't know. It's like squad? Yeah, exactly like squad. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:25 Just like that. Yeah, so anyway, I like it. Looting system, we've got to be a little better and inventory system. But the map is dope. I ran into fucking, uh,
Starting point is 00:36:36 I was literally, running around. I went to high rise and then I just started looting and I looked around. I ran up the staircase. Oh, it was in solos. Yeah, I was in solos. And I just started looking around. I was like, wait, where the fuck am I? It was showdown from Codford. Oh, with the statue. Yeah, with the statue in the middle. That's happened to me like three times. Because Afghan is in the game. Have you, have you? Have you ran into Afghan? I didn't run to Afghan. At one point, I'm running like up to stairs, you know, like the back stairs at Afghan where people spawned down there. Yeah. And I was like, wait, this feels familiar.
Starting point is 00:37:06 And then I was like, oh my God, this is Afghan. Bro, you know what gave me the Afghan one? When somebody went up the curvy staircase, and then they fall down because there's nothing. That's what I'm like, oh, shit, this is that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My dumb ass is falling off of that shit. Afghan is the one with the helicopter that was down in the middle.
Starting point is 00:37:21 Yeah. Okay, I'm not talking about that. You're talking about Modern Warfare 2 Afghan? Yeah. No, I'm talking about the other modern warfare map where there was a cave system. No, I'm not talking about that one. I'm talking about... I'm talking about Dome?
Starting point is 00:37:33 No, not Dome. This is a modern warfare. Azeer Cave. Azeer Cave. Yeah. Oh, I haven't seen it. Which has got those little towers, the silos that you go up and then you fall. That's what I was talking about.
Starting point is 00:37:42 I haven't been. I have not seen this. See, the, the, the, the bomber's not there. Okay. The AC130 isn't there, but everything else is. The bunkers and the cave. Yeah, it's like on the outskirts of the map kind of. Yeah, and the map is huge.
Starting point is 00:37:57 It's massive. It's massive. I don't like that personally. See, I don't mind it. Oh, yeah. This is it. You see it? Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:38:04 And see, there's no bunker there, but like the caves on the left. Oh, shit. You know what I've noticed? Yes. You know what I've noticed that every single time I step on dirt or gravel, my game just starts stuttering. That is my only, like, I have two things. You got to tell your spot cash to higher ultra. So what?
Starting point is 00:38:21 The cache. Spot cash or some shit in the settings like higher ultra. Something like that. Yeah. I don't know. I just, you know, I guess. There's some lab is super laggy. See, that's why I think people are saying that this matter.
Starting point is 00:38:32 is like Blackout is because of all of the old school like in Blackout I remember the first time I dropped in and I was like oh my god this is this is Raid you know what I mean like that happened like almost every POI and so that's the cool part about about this and the inventory system reminds me of a blackout too yeah yeah I'm not a big fan of the inventory system myself and and the other thing is is that for controller players the the interactive and like sort of prioritizing certain things like the reload or interacting, I was so confused for at least like three games as to like how
Starting point is 00:39:07 that thing worked because holding down holding it's so annoying. Why you go to prioritize that part? No, you just prioritize, interact on the settings and then if you're around a bunch of shit you tap it to pick stuff up and hold it to reload and that's it.
Starting point is 00:39:24 It is annoying at first but once you get used to it it's like all right. I'm 42 big time or I pay I play sometimes one hour a day if I'm lucky, right? So for me, it's like, it's that. But I will say, I will say, thank you to whoever made this game for making it bright. Thank you to Roger for keeping it quiet. Thank you for making the game at least bright because I am sick of. And please don't do the sunset.
Starting point is 00:39:51 Just make it bright. If you're in a cave, obviously make it dark. If you're in a room, make it dark. But this whole like moody shit that they go for, like the creativity behind it, there's no need for it anymore. Like we all understand that the goal was to make it as realistic as possible. But come on. Think about the best maps you've ever played.
Starting point is 00:40:07 Like really go about like Modern Warfare 2 Terminal. It is like vibrant reds and blues and greens and whites. Think about like raid and even like standoff. Like dude. Bro like all those. Even like other games. Like I think of Halo like midship. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:25 Like dude bright colors. Like it doesn't need to be. fucking brown. That's why there's never been a World War II styled Call of Duty map that's made it. Right. Like that's been considered legendary in my opinion. Look up Al-Alamine Egypt. Just type it the way it sounds, you'll find it. Al-Alemyne Egypt was a dark, a night map in Call of Duty 2.
Starting point is 00:40:49 You look up and you can see the moon and the stars. But when you look around it's bright. Yeah. Even Hanoi We, thank you, Hanoy. We understand. We understand. We understand. I mean. That was like the only dark map that made it.
Starting point is 00:41:06 Which one? Hanoi. That's not, that's not a map. That one. Go to the right. I don't know. Keep scrolling down. While you look for it, you'll notice.
Starting point is 00:41:17 But like, if you're going for a night thing, a night theme, we get it. I mean, let's look at a crash, Christmas crash. Yeah. Christmas crash. We know it's Christmas Eve. It's night time, but everything is bright and it's a different tone. You don't have to make it dark to give us down to the right. Down, that one?
Starting point is 00:41:41 Right here. I mean, obviously, this is called 3-360. They did a decent job of that on the Formula One map. Excellent job. Yeah, excellent job. But that's the one that can't play because of the thing. They just didn't ask permission. They don't have permission to play it.
Starting point is 00:41:57 I mean, whatever, man. I like that map too. Yeah, I like that map too. I just, thank you for not making a bright. Like, I don't need the sun shining in my, in my, like, I don't care. I don't care. There's one, there's on, on embassy, there's one part of the map where if you look the wrong way, the sun is literally. Yeah, when you come out of the, when you come out of the, when you go up the stairs to the, to the little square platform up top, right, by the tennis courts?
Starting point is 00:42:24 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:27 You turn left and you're just fucking dog. Can you give me an action? Can you give me a feature in there that says, was that beautiful? So I can click, yes. So that you can get tipped for how beautiful that thing is. But then after that, let us play the fucking game. Please.
Starting point is 00:42:41 It's beautiful. Wow. Or just instead of sunsetting, just make the sun and the sky. Very rarely are we going to look at that high up. We appreciate you as artists. We are impressed by the technologically sound. coding that you did to make this thing look as realistic as possible.
Starting point is 00:43:01 We don't need it though. We don't want it. No one, no one, no one, no one. Not a single person that has bought this game has come out of that room, look to the left, been blinded by it, and been like wow, this map is beautiful. It's a realistic song. The only thing I say on the map is, bro, I couldn't fucking see him the sun. It's my number one excuse.
Starting point is 00:43:25 Dude, if you go near like A-bomb on embassy like where it's like under the overhang and you try to look back alley I'm telling you the bro the one for me is they're like yo he's up there and then I come up orange and I like peek out the door and it's like I'm like bro
Starting point is 00:43:41 what the fuck I'm like I can even fucking see him yeah I know I was even doing this in real life like Jesus Christ I don't know it's one of this I for one I am looking forward to continue to play the the game I for one I'm looking forward to continue to play with the
Starting point is 00:43:57 with the old mental optic i haven't i haven't had a chance to truly like get out there and play for a long time yeah i i usually play like two games and then i'm off or two games and then hutch has to go uh and then we're just like all right well you guys would like gbs in this game gbs are very fun in this game i think i will play multiplayer more than i'll play war zone's a lot of fun yeah and i love the pace of it i love the content um you know it's it's less crackheady than war zone one was which i i prefer yeah um same but i think multiplayer is i think multiplayer is i think I'm gonna play more more I think I need a new team I do I do and not because I don't want to play with them It's just that they don't want to play game battles and although I do like the the game right now
Starting point is 00:44:36 I was I always complain about this like it takes me hours to get into a fight man like I don't I'm not I don't want to play an RPG game where I go Discover fucking caves and and look at shit like I want to get into a fight because that's the only way that I can get better at knowing my weapon and you know finding strategy What do you guys think about okay one what do you guys think about proximity chat? Love it. I like it. I think prox chat should be in every game. But I do think that they need to make it actual proximity chat.
Starting point is 00:45:07 Okay. Because right now you walk into a circle, and if anybody's in that circle, you hear them loud as day. And you shouldn't be able to. You don't hear them directionally. No. They could, they could scream and they don't fade away. It's just as soon as they're outside of that bubble, they, Oh, it would be dope if they were further away, their voice was quieter.
Starting point is 00:45:27 Right. That's how much. That's how it goes. Usually. I haven't played a single game where that has. That's how it was in H1Z1. That's how it was in like in Minecraft. That's how it is on Minecraft.
Starting point is 00:45:37 I never heard that feature. Yeah, you can, it's like a mod. Yeah. And then also in, uh, what's, uh, what's, uh, Tarkoff? And Tarkov, they added it too. And so if you're far away, you can barely hear them. And that's, that's the best part of Proximate. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:51 Because you can literally tell where everyone. Yeah, so I like the feature. What I don't like about it is that, that, you know, somebody can talk into me, like, buildings away, like I can see them. This circle stuff, like, if you're in the same building, if you're in the same room, if you're in the same, like, you know, I mean, make the circle smaller to truly, like, identify, you know, where, who's where, right? The other thing is, like, it's really tempting for me to go back to Modern Warfare two lobbies
Starting point is 00:46:15 and just be, like a prick and talk shit to people. You know what I mean? Like, it's just. What about the interrogation stuff where you can, like, that's really good. That's good. that yet. So if somebody's down, you can interrogate them and it pings the rest of their teammates. Yeah. Oh.
Starting point is 00:46:29 So you literally like hold them. That's a good at now. That's a good idea. That's such a really good idea. Wait, what do you like hold square or something? You hold a knife to them. Yeah. You hold a knife to them and then on your radar it pings where them two are. So now I know where they're at. Oh, that's dope. Yeah, so dope. I like the, I like the revival gun from far away. I like
Starting point is 00:46:45 that's a really good idea. It has potential. It definitely has potential. It's just my only, I think my only issue with the game right now is just the bugs. Yeah. I mean, it was literally unplayable. We had to play,
Starting point is 00:46:58 we had to play a different game just because we would get one playable game and then like two games where it would lag out or somebody would just get skinned and repair. It's like moving in slow moan shit. Right. Yeah. Or things are glitchy. And it's like, the thing is
Starting point is 00:47:11 is we're getting to a point now in gaming where we can't just for call it, we can't just be like, oh, it's Call of Duty, they'll fix it. Because like, you can literally go play Rocket League or you can go play apex and it just is beautiful. You'll never have that problem.
Starting point is 00:47:27 Yeah. So I don't know. Overall, I wish I was playing it right now. Yeah, same. That's what I always say. Like Joey, I'm talking to Joey update and I'm like, how do you like? I'm like, do you like it?
Starting point is 00:47:42 Do you wish you were playing it right now is the question? Right? And the answer is yes. And then he says a good game. Yeah, but I wish I was playing it, but I don't wish it was lagging. And I don't wish the lobby's are broken. Like even even that's yeah
Starting point is 00:47:54 I get what you're saying When you aim down and you see a soldier doing this Yeah As they're running away You're just like I'm so accurate that I'm like shooting Like his thing from like before And it's not fair to me
Starting point is 00:48:05 Yeah there's no walking animations From that far away So they just do this Yeah It's just like enemies doing this in the background Yeah yeah yeah So funny I overall I'm
Starting point is 00:48:13 The small amount of time That I've had on the game Is is good Yeah I'm excited about it I've been in a creative rut lately. Well, no, in a creative rut decision making lately. Because I want to, and I want you guys this advice, right?
Starting point is 00:48:29 Because you guys are my friends. And you guys were a part of the vlog, very, very integral part of the vlog. The vlog was only successful as successful was because I had, you know, people to create content around. And I have all these ideas as to how the vlog could work in this day and age, or in this day and age with my current life. And there are ways, but it's just like an impossible thing because it's not where it was before. Like we have enough characters in here where we can make it work. And I have enough, you know, projects that I can put on camera.
Starting point is 00:48:56 But it's just like I can't get to that place. And for the first time ever, in my life, I can't pull the trigger. I'm being productive creatively. Well, you are CEO. So I think if anyone gets a pass, I think it might be you. No, I don't want to pass. I want to be able to do it. Two times week.
Starting point is 00:49:15 Collect the content. That doesn't work that way, though. My biggest thing, and I've gone through this so many times. over almost 10 years of doing YouTube, I'll go back and forth between, do I want to do gaming viz, do I want to do vlogs, do I want to do reacts, whatever.
Starting point is 00:49:27 I absolutely cannot be consistent with vlogs. I can't do it. Like, even if there's... 100% agree with that. And, like, you can start off, and I'll build, like, I'll have in my notes, I'll have, like, five good vlogs, do them, and then those five vlogs are done,
Starting point is 00:49:42 and I'm like, fuck. And then you take two weeks off, and you just start to forget about it, and it feeds away. Gaming is the only way I can be consistent, for long periods of time. So even if those videos get less views or whatever,
Starting point is 00:49:54 it's all I can do. I just, I can't do the vlog through a stream or something. Like, yeah, with the people you play with, you'll definitely come out with
Starting point is 00:50:02 at least four or five videos. Oh, solid ones. Yeah. It's just the, the things were so different back in 2015. So whenever we think vlogs,
Starting point is 00:50:13 we think 2015, in my opinion. And that's when Casey's pumping out a video every single day. Yeah. You got fun for Louie and you got Jesse
Starting point is 00:50:22 PVP like you know you got all these people pumping out daily vlogs and so it was just like oh shit that's just what we do
Starting point is 00:50:29 so when we made then I mean at least I was making daily vlogs and then now things have changed so much it's like you realize that
Starting point is 00:50:36 that just wasn't like realistic no like to live your life it was to live your life how you're supposed to live it
Starting point is 00:50:44 and then release a video every day is fucking absurd yeah that's insane yeah that's why I think making like if if I ever did vlogs again which I've tried and just like you have tried I've
Starting point is 00:50:54 come back and but like doing one a week I think it's perfect because then you summarize the whole week right yeah and I think that might be the best I have I have so much are you here for us okay yes I just walk behind him and then go that way thank you um I don't know I have I have so many ideas of the things that I want to do and record but I also know that by the time that five o'clock hits i am so and i hate to say it i fucking hate to say i'm like literally almost burnt out of the day where i just want to sit on my bean bag and watch something on on other people vlogging you know what i mean and kacey coming back to to uh to new york and the vlogs that he's been creating it just like ignites something in me that i'm like i'm scared i'm scared to watch him for
Starting point is 00:51:40 that reason yeah i'm like if i start watching then i'm gonna have to realize how much time he puts into those like even being as good as he is i don't I bet he spent so much fucking time setting up those shots and thinking about how to get them. He probably actually editing. Yeah, actually editing is probably like three and a half hours just editing every single day. Yeah, I don't have time for it. Can't do it. I've given up.
Starting point is 00:52:03 I'm giving him signs. I don't want to give up though. Like I don't want to give up. And I do want to vlog because I think that I have the formula almost as to how it could work. Yeah. But what I don't have is the ability to not want. want so badly to go to bed at 9 p.m. And you just need extra time to edit or what?
Starting point is 00:52:23 Yeah, the editing is the biggest part, but because I am a creative person in here. Yeah. And Matt, and I said this like two days ago, Matt is more technologically apt to be able to edit a video that looks way better than what I can. Right. But there are moments in my videos where I have moments of silence
Starting point is 00:52:43 that I think add to the comedic part of that. Right. So you still have to be a part of that. the editing process to be like, hey, leave this silence, take this one out. Yeah, that was like the number one thing, like back in the day, like when I was vlogging, I was like, I never want to get it. Even though I can't even do it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:57 Majority of the shit they do. Yeah. But it's like, I don't want to get an editor because there's certain shit in this video that the people that are watching it are going to understand, but the editor might not get it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying, Matt, but like, you know, there's some things that you know, you know, you know. Yeah. And I told them, Matt, you know what the worst?
Starting point is 00:53:13 You're almost perfect, man. The one thing, the one thing that sucks about you. is that you can't read my mind. It's like, Jesus Christ. You know who's almost perfect, too? Jude, but she can't read my mind either. So it's like, I'm just, I think it's just a human thing.
Starting point is 00:53:28 But I'm so, I want it to be mine, though. Like I want, when people say it's like, yo, that was a dope-ass vlog, I want them to be complimenting the whole,
Starting point is 00:53:36 the thing that I, and I want to be able to take credit for the whole thing. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, I, I,
Starting point is 00:53:41 same way I feel. Like, I've always thought, like, like, if, if I were to be able to just like, Film a bunch of stuff and send it off to an editor.
Starting point is 00:53:49 Like that's probably possible. Yeah. But like that kind of, I feel like people were watching my vlogs for a specific. I was. Yeah, for sure. So, I don't know. I don't think I'd ever be able to send, see, for gaming videos is different. For gaming videos, I feel like other people have a better idea of what to edit than I would.
Starting point is 00:54:06 Yeah. But for my own vlogs, I feel like I set up that shot for a specific edit. Yeah. Yeah. And I've, you know, live streaming. Live streaming is another thing, right? because I want to be able to, I just want to be a creative, right? That's always said, I'll always be looking for a person that's going to be able to take what I do on a daily basis and then do it for me so that I can just focus solely on being a creator.
Starting point is 00:54:31 Yeah. Right. But I also know what happens when that isn't the thing, right? Like even today, right, like with the amount of help that we have from you now and the amount of help that we, obviously, Roger Page and everybody, obviously, the downtown office is filled with superstars that are able to sort of pick up a lot of the stuff that I used to do back in the day. But there's still a level of presence that I need to have in there in order for it to sort of like continue to more fluently go down there. But it hurts my heart every single day when I'm just like, man, today was such a dope day. I could have had the camera pointed out somewhere. and I have the vlog
Starting point is 00:55:07 I can show you I can show you a full vlog on my phone right now from me going to sneaker con I went to sneaker con I opened up this I bought
Starting point is 00:55:14 a $300 box mystery box I won't tell you how it ends but it was it was fucking dope and I have it Jude and Liv came with me
Starting point is 00:55:23 like it was a good family like vlog where we went and there's a lot of you know a lot of people sneakers and all that stuff and I was just like
Starting point is 00:55:29 I can't edit it yeah why I just I just can't bring myself to sitting down. The other thing I think that kind of ruined it too
Starting point is 00:55:39 is that I was in L.A. With a vlog and I was editing a bunch of vlogs obviously like when, um, not L.A. Halo Championships. Okay. Toronto. Where were we in Portland?
Starting point is 00:55:50 What's the fucking called? Seattle? Seattle. I was in Seattle and I was editing and I'm like, okay, cool. You know, it's time to go to bed. I'm going to go outside. I'm going to smoke a little joint
Starting point is 00:55:59 and then I'm going to go upstairs. And I was in a different state of mind. And when I was editing and I'm like, I'm like, I looked at myself. I'm like, damn, right? I'm getting fucking old. I'm like, how much longer can I be on camera? I started to doubt myself.
Starting point is 00:56:11 And I was just like, I'm going to revisit this later. So all the vlogs are good up until championship Sunday, where it was the fucking best. And I was just like, not editing. Because I was looking a little bit old. And I was just like, eh. But it was a different state of mind.
Starting point is 00:56:31 Seattle will do to you, man. This is what Seattle will do to you. That's why people in Seattle. you just see i'm like they're 24 yeah 24 just smoking pot no usually i'm very usually i'm very usually i'm very i'm very productive and i get a lot of a lot of you know work down in l.a specifically because i'm in that state of mind where i'm just like so creative and so willing to do stuff um i don't know maybe we maybe we need to legalize pot over here in in texas what's going out over there man you yawning a little bit you didn't get no sleep zulch huh nothing no sleech no sleech no sleech
Starting point is 00:57:05 No sleep? What the fuck happened to me? No sleep? Warzone? Who do you play with? Everybody, bro. Me, study, space, nameless, mere. Killer? Just laughing all day long?
Starting point is 00:57:20 Why don't you stream that? I did. I just started again. Okay. What was? Like yesterday or some shit? You streaming daily? No, not yesterday because I got up late from playing all night.
Starting point is 00:57:30 Wait, so do you leave proximity chat on on stream? That's the only thing I would be worried about you do. Danger. It's dangerous for sure. I heard three hard hours yesterday, but the thing is like, geez, you can't,
Starting point is 00:57:43 that's the whole purpose of the game. Right. And like, Doc streamed H1Z1 every single day for tens of thousands of people. So like, and they're Tarkoff streamers. It's like,
Starting point is 00:57:55 if people are going to have them to ruin it, you ban them, you mute them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Then you go, keep going on. If Twitch bans you for that, it's not like you're encouraging.
Starting point is 00:58:02 Yeah. You know, it is what it is. So I leave it on. Yesterday, yesterday, like I landed and I'm talking and he's like you sound fucking Mexican and I'm like bingo and then I'm like porc so meica and I and I talked to him with Spanish and he's like I
Starting point is 00:58:15 fucking knew it and then I I was like I was like I wish I could have heard that yeah I mean I wish I was recording because I was well I was going to fucking ball like I was with some so we were playing then the guy kills us right so I go back to the gulag and there's some dude that is with me he's like all right let's get it uh bozie And I'm like, alright, let's go. And then I can hear the other team, they're like, Blanca, Blanca, Blanca. Like, I don't know what they do. I guess they're, like, calling us out wherever we are.
Starting point is 00:58:44 That's what I took it as. So we kill him. And then the guy's like, boot up, boot up, boot up. I'm like, bro, what the fuck? The guy on your team? Yeah, I'm like, this chat shit is crazy, bro. There was this one guy. We landed.
Starting point is 00:59:00 The same guy. Okay, I don't know if this is the guy, but this is one guy whose name was Aquatic. And I saw his thing I'm like I'm like oh aquatic I see you I'm near you I'm about to fucking put you on the ground boy And then he's like He's like Where the fuck are you come come challenge me
Starting point is 00:59:15 Aquatic I'm like oh my god that is such a cool name And I just started roasting his name I'm like I'm like you must be great at swimming and blah blah Kill him he comes back I see his name I'm like Aquatic Such a cool name And I just start talking shit about his name But those are the moments not that specific
Starting point is 00:59:32 But I don't know why that brought me joy and probably obviously telling the joke is not as funny because you have to be there. But I don't know. I'm a big, I'm a big fan. It's also cool how you can
Starting point is 00:59:40 recruit people to your own squad. That's dope. That's a good idea. That's crazy. Have you seen that? I haven't done that. So, yeah, so we drop in his threes.
Starting point is 00:59:48 Obviously, move like in George. And so we have an open spot. So you can, if you hit up on the D-Pad and to the right, you can invite people near you to your squad. So if somebody accepts it, they literally join your squad,
Starting point is 00:59:59 their health bar is up on your team and everything. And they can just kill them. And they can kill their team. You can't kill them. Yeah. So literally like, but they can like be next to their team, trade and kill them. Exactly. So we got we we got to do we we had ran into a team of four killed their three friends and then got the other guy.
Starting point is 01:00:16 I was like, yo ditch your friends because they're all in the gulog. Yeah. Ditch your friends and come with us. Yeah. And so he was like. All right. So he did his friends came with us and then his friends started calling him in real time. And he was like, no, no, I'm not with y'all anymore.
Starting point is 01:00:30 I'm with a new squad. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's crazy how it works That is good
Starting point is 01:00:35 I am playing with my boys From back home But again You know It's so late at night And I'm just like man I don't know how they do it I tweeted it actually this morning
Starting point is 01:00:45 And so like how many hours a day Do you get How many hours of sleep do you get In order to be productive The following day I mean I know you're in a good schedule I'm both you're in a bad one Like what how many hours do you think you need
Starting point is 01:00:57 To where you're like Yeah I can do this I always tell me I always think to myself like damn Like today I didn't I barely slept so I always like when I woke up I was like oh like super like slow but like usually I like let's just say if I didn't have to come here like I know I woke up late and shit but if I came
Starting point is 01:01:14 if I just went to streaming I would have been like I would have bounced back I would have forgot about like what what just happened I woke up yeah but usually shit I gotta be at least minimum six to eight I need at least six bro I'm at nine airport flow I could do four nine hours a night I think I'm about seven what time you're going to sleep like 10 same I can't even like get my body to shut down at that time I'm trying yeah say you know what I'm saying like I can I'll lay there for fucking five hours oh no I get I'm about at 830 and then I fall asleep by like yeah same same bro same I'll be like I'll be like I'll miss not missing but like bro there's a lot left at a night a lot going on in the morning though you're missing the morning
Starting point is 01:01:56 that's what I that's what I said that's the most productive time I missed I'm I miss the morning I missed because I know like I'll make YouTube videos forever and I'll probably do this shit forever like this What I do during the day. Yeah, but like the streaming thing I think the streaming thing's got a cap because streaming every single night for six to eight hours for five to six or five to seven hours for the last three four years. Yeah for four years. It's just like holy shit. I tried to do it for a month. I stream some Minecraft. I realized I just I can't do it. I got so much respect for streamers bro like it is so and I'm so OCD like all in and whatever I'm doing that I couldn't just do like I'll stream two hours a night three hours a night because like once you get some subs rolling in you're like I'm not fucking getting I'm like so I would just for a month I just stream like 10 12 hours a a day and I'm like I can't this is not and I miss them and I know once once like whatever happens with streaming like whenever I stop streaming like I'm gonna I'm that's gonna
Starting point is 01:02:53 be my schedule yeah I'm gonna get up at like 5 a.m. 6 a.m. Go to the gym and shit I don't know about yeah I don't know about that I'll talk tomorrow At least eating breakfast. Like eating breakfast. Like, best thing ever. When it's supposed to be eaten? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:05 Best thing ever. Best thing ever. I haven't eaten breakfast at one. I haven't eaten breakfast at 1 p.m. for four years. Bro, you got, what's all my man Zey later in the house right here?
