This is actually cool. Wait, why she's taking five of them? He built up the tolerance and shit. He can't get back to the Matrix. Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode number 41 of the Optic Podcast. This episode is brought to you by Brook Linen and Upstart, and we'll tell you a little bit more about them later on in the show. Matt was just telling us how this morning maintenance came.

and woke your ass up because the balcony upstairs is drooping. Yeah. The lack of a better, I don't know what they said. Is it not made of cement? It is. And they're like, yeah, we just got to push it back up. What? Are you guys getting ready for a heist?

Yeah. It's not like you grab a, what do you call those wedges? El Gato, is what we call them in Spanish. It's Elgaro. Shot out Elgaro. No. What do you call those, Matt, where you put it under the? the lifter that lifts the car up for the jack the jack yeah we call it el gato in spanish sometimes

people need to understand that when i like stop talking is because i'm saying it in spanish and then i have to translate it anyway wait do you i think i ask you this do you think in english or spanish uh it's a good question and i don't know i can tell you that i i used to dream in spanish like almost exclusively which was the weirdest thing Imagine I'm talking Maniacs in my dream and he's all like Speak of Spanish

For the next episode of Halo I have to start in the roster immediately Wait is that actually When Halo drops again I need to be on the main roster

I need to start Huh Does that actually happen? Yeah Like people Obviously I don't speak Spanish But you don't think about it In your dream

I'm talking Spanish That's fucking crazy Well, no, this was like, this answer would be like, I think the last, that's pretty insane. I don't know, I think a no man, that's got lost? I think he meant. C. C, he's like, see or no.

See or no. See or no. I don't know what it is. But it's, I thought, it's been a long time since I've had those streams. But if you think about it, like a thought isn't like words, right? It's just like, I feel like if you imagine something, are you thinking about that? Like, if you're like, oh, man, I want to go to the multi. You're saying your head.

I want to go to the mall or is it just like malls like a feeling yeah yeah it is a what is that though what is that where is that yeah I love that we're starting it what have you ever had a thought so far back that you can barely think about it like yes but it's you have like you're squeezing it like you literally feel it and you kind of can you're moving it around that that that freaks me out because thoughts make like freak me out and dreams freak me out, but then I'll have a subconscious thought that I'm thinking about.

And then that's when I'm like, wait, this is too much, there's like layers. Ready to fucking get your mind blown. Your body can't tell the difference between reality and a thought. So, for example, if you are falling in your dream,

that feeling is your brain telling your body what to feel. If you're actually falling from a building, your body is experiencing the same exact thought because it can't see. It's just being relayed information that you see. So when you wake up, you could be like,

damn, okay, that sort of adrenaline rush is like as if I was actually falling. Right. The only difference is you're not like, your skin's not like feeling the wind. That's pretty much the only difference, right? Yeah. Because we're in some dreams that do.

Do you lose a dream? No, I wish. No, I have in the past. I used to, like, all the time. The dream that I, I do have. And it just happened. When I was like 14, I would lose a dream all the time.

It get dark. But really. Punching people through their face. I remember like sniping people. With a, with a BR or with like a paintball gun? Wait, did you miss the first two shots? I won't get into specifics, but yeah. When I was like 14, 15, I could lose a dream all the time.

Be like, whoa. I'm dreaming. And then just be like, but like I'm still, I'm like, don't wake up. And then I like go do stuff. You were canter reaps and you dream?

I don't know, probably like sex and stuff. Do you have a go to? You're like, hold off. Spawn up, Mrs. Jackson.

No. I don't think, I think I would spawn up at different places and just be like, okay, I'm dreaming. Like they're showering? You're like, here am.

Yeah. I just spawn up. I'd spawn up and everything would just make sense. Then I, Then I'd just do some adventure. I just, I have the, but nothing would. Nothing makes sense.

Oh. You'd wake up and be like, God damn it. I had a dream recently, and I have this dream all the time where we'll be driving and we're going up a hill and then I'll just keep going higher and higher

and I'm like, fuck, I'm going to fall and then that. The last one that I had was, may have been today or yesterday, but I was in a gym pool, and then I would go jump on the trampoline and go high as fuck, and then, you know, barely miss the edge, mind you, right? But then immediately after that, I couldn't jump that high because we were in an indoor pool

and I couldn't go that high. So it would have like the weirdest shit. But where we were going with that is that your brain just tells it what it is. And that's it. Your body cannot, doesn't have an option on it. There's no way for your body or your feelings to work without having sight and, you know, senses. That's wow. Because I thought that everyone that has sleep,

Paralysis can also lose a dream. I get sleep paralysis. I just had it. It's horrible. Sleep paralysis. Did you really? Yeah. Last night.

Just had it. Last night? Yeah. Let me hear it. So I was, it was, Schofield was barking. Schofield is my 14 year old dog. Schofield,

I've had him since he was a baby. He used to sit right next to me in my first apartment ever playing call duty two. He watched every single one of my one v. Once in King of the Hill. And right now he's 14 years old. He's blind. He's deaf.

and yeah so I don't know where I was going with that and oh sleep paralysis he was barking he was barking in like at 3 30 last night and and I'm like fuck and I can hear the bark and I'm like he's asking for help he's not barking like he's got to go take a piss he's not really lost he's asking for help so I get up I go I pick him up he's fucking happy why I'm going to sell take him outside and he's just you know pisses and shits and that but I realized that he started shaking his head so he has something in his ear whether it's like extra wax or he's got pollen or whatever because Henry gets that too, but he's like,

it's bothering him so much and he's just asking for fucking help. And I'm like, man, you're 14 years old. You can't see shit and you can't hear. He fell in the pool while I was on vacation. Luckily, well, luckily Liv saw him and then Jude like jumped in and got him.

But anyway, like I don't like talk about it because all of that happened this morning. No, dude. Are you paying attention? Got to blanked out for a little bit. Yeah, exactly. So the answer is now. No, but, but yeah.

So he, it started when he fell in the pool. So we think that he's got water in his ear and he's bothering him. And he's like barking saying, help me. Get the shit on my fucking ear. I don't have a pulsable thumbs, you moron. I'm not a human. Get that shit out of my ear. But he doesn't know how to say it.

So I don't know if that's what he wants. But it has to be if I feel it, right? That's sad. Yeah. So what's paralysis? So which part of that one? Sleep paralysis? So as I was like trying to wake up, because I heard him in my sleep,

as I was trying to wake up, I'm like, you can move? I'm like. because I want to go and say Jude, you get up Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know? But I was like, I'm like,

I was like, I was like trying to say, dude, I'm having sleep paralysis because I knew that I was having it. So I'm just like, that. But it happened. I wake up and my horse is like, like, I can't breathe.

Do you think it's just like that because you can't move? Can't move? You can't like. It feels like it feels like you're like, you're like fucking like falling into your bed. It's like you're like in quicksand. Yeah.

You can't get up. You can't move anything. I think it's because since you're not awake, your body, everything that you're thinking as far as movement goes is happening in your brain and not exactly in the physical world. So even though you're trying to move in your brain until you open it and you send the signals that,

hey, this is fucking real, like your body won't move. There are the shakes and shit. That's happened to me, but always something like scary always happens. Like, a demon will just fly in the room and I like still can't wake up. I don't think I've ever woken up and just mean like, ah, fuck, I can't move.

And I'm just like, just like, chilling for a minute. Like, get off me. Stop it. Like, it's always like something. Something scary as fuck. This is really happening. It's flying at me. You can throw that to the side of them.

Yeah, I haven't had any scary, like, sleep paralysis ones. I've never, I've never, I've never lost a dream. I don't even, like, dream that much. You've never lost. I ask Liv if she doesn't She says she doesn't dream and I'll let you lie I think everyone dreamed I think you just don't remember it Yeah I think that's what it is I mean I definitely have dreams

But I just don't dream a lot I don't think I swear I'll wake up I'll like remember my dream for five minutes And sometimes I'll just like not remember it after 20 minutes And literally can't get it back and I'm like what You gotta write it down It doesn't make any sense to me It doesn't make any sense to me how you can wake up You can wake up and like remember the dream

and then you literally have to consciously hold on to it. Yeah, I can take a piss and it's gone. Yeah, because if you even, like, even like three minutes later, it's just gone. It's gone. You can, like, feel it leaving. Leaving. It's so weird. That's just, that just doesn't.

It's like there's a little, like drip just fading away. Not necessarily a drip. It's like a dream. Wait, what are you? It's like a drippy dog. You have it in your brain and you can just like, oh, shit, it's leaving. and then it's gone. Yeah, it's for sure like a drip.

All right, it was the first week of the Vanguard beta. I played it a little bit, and you guys only played that once? Yeah, that one game. Play it at all? Yeah, I played it with Seth the first night. But I didn't have fun because I didn't have my full mobility. I didn't have like paddle, so I couldn't jump. So, like, that bothered me a lot.

I hate that. Like, I can't. Uncomfortable gaming? Yeah. I hate that shit. Yeah. Oh my God. The controller sucks.

And what sucked even more is that there was no paddles. Okay. The controller doesn't suck. It just doesn't have paddles. I think the PS5 controller sucks? Yeah. Oh, you're using the PS5. Were you playing it on PS5?

You're at the garage playing it? I brought it home. I'm going to say, that'd be so trolling. Well, Maddie, Maddie actually brought it home. Happy birthday, Matt. Big 25. Hell yeah. Everybody go tell him happy birthday at EMAC.

Give him five gifted tonight. Gifted tonight when he goes live. Five gifted. Yeah. Matt, Maddie went and set it up. It was good. I had fun.

It looked way better than what I saw on fucking pros on the PlayStation 4s. Yeah. It's pretty, it's crazy how outdated PS4s are now. Yeah, dude. That's wild. That felt like shit. You guys,

feel like shit. I was like, dude, do you guys have the same like frame rate I'm getting? Like, what is this? It's a little pound 60 yards. You were like,

I'm glad. I was like already. used to it at that time. So I knew you guys were going to be like. The game could be fun though on the computer. Yeah. Yeah. On PC it's going to be nice. Yeah. I just don't again, until it comes out and I have like a full week, my controller, paddles, like my actual experience,

like I'm not going to care. And the good thing is that you can use any controller that you want because it's on PC, right? Like you can use the 360 or whatever. But I don't even think that 360s work now anymore. Right? Because it's like they're outdated. I think there's like a program you have to download. Okay, Packer, I'm not doing that. No, you can plug in your 360 controller and it works.

It's not going to work well. I swear I tried it last year. Okay, relax. Relax, Trinity. We get it, Morpheus. The new Matrix 3, 4 got announced. Did you see that? They're making another Matrix?

Yeah. From what I hear it, and I don't watch trailers, I don't watch trailers. Do you watch trailers? Yeah. I don't. I'm a weirdo. You don't watch trailer. Wait, is there a trailer on YouTube?

Yeah. Have we watched a trailer on this? Yeah. And we can't. It's allowed. We're not going to get hit for it because we're promoting it. So much older. Yeah, especially Neo.

I mean, Morpheus, like. Trinity. There's no more. Trinity still looks good. Yeah, she was a little thing back then with her little short-ass hair. I was like, I like, slick back leather pants. Here we go. There's like the TikTok, mommy, I mean, mommy, I'm a mommy.

That's what you're thinking in this trailer. The black cat. What I was thinking. Yeah, yeah. Can you tell me what happened? I've had dreams that weren't just... Let's go. That's simulation that we were just talking about the dream shit, and then it's just like right there. What is that? Neal Patrick Harris.

That's true. So much older. He's like, Neo, what's your real name? John Wick. That'd be crazy. Like a crossover? He looks just like John Wick in this way. Yeah, look at him.

He looks like that four-nine character. Wait. Oh, so it's like that. Have we met? Wait, what? I didn't even pay attention. Wait, why's you taking five of them? He built up the tolerance and shit.

He can't get back to the Matrix. Pause that shit, man. Do you hear what he said? He built up a tolerance so he can't get back in the Matrix. Oh, bro, my throat hurts because I pukes. so much this weekend. All right. What?

No one invited again. Keep playing it. Keep playing it. Is she the Oracle? Oh, what the fuck? Yeah, you might be right. That was probably the Oracle. Okay.

They replaced it? Yeah, like, no, it's not the same. You know what? Stop it right now, Matt. It's not the same without Morpius. I don't want to see a world where Lawrence Fishburn isn't fucking Morpheus. I'm okay with them replacing the Oracle.

I wonder why you want to be. There's no way you turn this down, right? Yeah. Well, I hope everything's okay health-wise with Lawrence Fishburn because he was the best. I carry on. If you want the truth for you, you're going to have to fill on me. Oh, shit. Imagine?

Oh, my God. The graphics are obviously way better. This movie's going to be sick, actually. Bro, in IMAX, this shit is going to be. You don't know me. No? Oh, my God. Bro. Okay, stop. I don't want to see anymore.

No, he don't stop it. No, keep going. I'm just choosing not to. I'm excited, bro. I can't tell if this is like a prequel or not. I know it's on a prequel, but... The Matrix is like my favorite movie and I figured it out. See, this is why I don't watch trailers.

Guess what's gonna happen? You already know? Yeah, I already know. Morpheus, the real Morpheus is actually gonna appear at the end. I fucking bet you money. Who wants to bet money? 100, 100, 100, that's 300. All right, what gave you that notion?

Huh? What gave you that? 100, 100, 100. I didn't even hear that part. I did complex mathematics. I'm not watching this thing, man. You just missed a sick-ass part. Yeah, I bet.

I don't care. I'm going to see it for the first time ever in the movie theaters. Back to the Matrix. Okay. See, I already figured out. That's why I don't watch it because I figure out movies without wanting them to. He said Neil Patrick Harris That was trolley

That was a trolley start to the trailer He's like Dougie Hauser's my fucking therapist Is like what happened to your medicine license What did you do? Why are you a psychiatrist now? Yeah, I like it though Yeah I'm excited for it

I am so I'm a big fan I just watched all three of them like this This past week when we got back The other The second two Matrix films Get so much bad red They're all awesome They're all dope

Yeah They do. They're like 30% rotten tomatoes. Really? Yeah. But I just watched them again and I'm like raw. Raw. Right. That's what I'm saying.

Like I watched the first one when Alexis was here last and I was like and they made two more but everybody trashes though. So we don't have to watch them. She's like, let's watch them. We watch both of them and they were really good. Yeah. And never many people trashed. Yeah. Huh?

Did you just watch them for the first or did you watch the first one for the first time? No, no. I've watched the first one like a hundred times. But you never saw the first. other two? I had watched the other two like the very first time I'd ever see the Matrix, like way back in the day, but I hadn't rewatched. Like I couldn't remember the storyline at all of the second two. I love where they're going with it. Like, like, because in, and obviously fresh memory because I just watched them, they say the architect always says

that they've done this like 57 times already. And what's happening in this thing is that this time around, because what we're watching is not the Neo that we watched over there. I'm making it up. My brain's fucking assuming shit right now. But what I'm thinking happened is that instead of Neo finding he's Neo at 28 years old looking for a new life or whatever, now he's finding it 48 years old in a different lifetime. And it feels like he's done before? Yeah. Yeah. Because it's a dude.

The anomaly. Dude, I'm fucking psyched. Yeah. I'm excited about it. I'm a big movie guy. You guys know this. I am King movie. Yeah, I'm excited.

Yeah, I'm psyched about it. First weekend of the vanguard, we talked about that. A bundle of a whole. Come on. bundle of 101 board ape NFTs sold for 24.4 million U.S. dollars. Do you know what that is? What is an NFT dude? I don't understand NFT at all. In theory, in theory, we all understand what it is. Yeah, we understand. It's a virtual Pokemon card. It's a virtual, no, it's not even that. It's just a collectible. It's just, it's, this is, this is the easiest way that I can put it.

Why would anyone want those? This is the easiest way I can put it. You go into NBA 2K, you build a dude that looks exactly like you, but you can play as you as that character in Call of Duty, in Halo, in every single one of your games. That's you now. That's your avatar in that, in that realm. But like, are they playing an Ft. Yeah. Like, what are you saying?

Are they playing anything? No. Well, not yet. Not yet. The theory is that eventually it's going to be like player one where you, yeah, eventually. This, what I see this being, and I'm obviously wrong, I wish we had banks here. The board apes are the Mona. Lisa. Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, there's looks like virtual art. The thing is this is like, the thing is this is like, I know like, like, when they say that it's built on the Ethereum or on the, on the blockchain, like that I don't understand. Like, I understand that maybe you can put these in your gallery. Yeah, that's all it is, right? It's like a, there's like a website that's a gallery. It's like website that's your Instagram.

It shows what you own. What NFTs you own? Yeah, see that that makes, okay, we're figuring this out because that makes sense to me. a site. Blake was, Blake was, Blake looked it all up and was trying to tell me about it. There's like a there's like a website where you can buy and sell your NFT and on that website it shows what NFTs you own. It's like a marketplace or some shit. Right. Yeah. So it's kind of, I mean, it's kind of like if you're on RuneScape and you see the dude with the crazy sword that only came out once. Like, dude, you actually have that one? It's like, yeah, it's just a collectible.

If there are any crypto or NFT companies out there that want to, us to sponsor the podcast. Let us know. I'd like to, I'd like to have an optic NFT. It'll be hard to, the only thing that with NFTs for me is like, I don't want to own, because like, I mean, these are cool, but I would never look at a board ape and be like, damn, I want to own that. Yeah. But like people that are playing. But you would on the skeleton guy from Fortnite. Right. Right. I mean, there's something. I've seen some NFT art where I'm like, that is dope art. And like, I wish I could own that, I guess. Yeah. I guess. Yeah. But like, people that are flipping it for 24 million. Like that, who's sitting the price point?

Does it even mean to own it? Like, what if I just giazoed that? That just, like, made it my profile pic. Yeah, but it's not, like, you don't own it. But you don't own it. It's not minted. I mean, I'm. But do I care?

Yeah. I mean, that's what, that's the joke. Like, would you be like, yo, you can't use this. I own it. Like, whenever I look at Banks's, uh, Instagram story, he's always just like, yeah, fuck all you, uh, copy paste or like people that save, like, you know, I have it too now. He's like, fuck all you kids that do that. Because I just flipped this shit for $100,000.

Yeah, and it's true. He sets the price point for these, though. Like, the market, like interest. How, yeah, yeah, I guess. But so did one person buy that bundle? One person bought it for $24 million. One person bought it for $24. It has to, I mean, there's a side of NFT.

That has to mean something. There's a side of NFT that's not legal. Like, right? it's going to. Yeah. He's going to sell over 200 million. But if he has 20, what, 24 million dollars to buy on these things, he probably has some knowledge of like.

Yeah. Of something else. Of money laundering? Yeah. I guess. I mean, for the longest time, there was, there was rumors that World of Tanks was a Russian mob laundromat of sorts. I believe it.

I believe, bro, because they were selling those for a lot of fucking money. You can buy a super. a super suited like tank. Yeah. I mean, the tanks is still going. Yeah, no, but yeah, for them, yeah, of course. People need to wash.

You know what I mean? So yeah, I like, I would like to do some, some NFT art. I just wouldn't know what to be because I, the art that I saw there is good, but I've seen artists that are, but not me, I'm not that good, but I've seen other artists

that are fucking mad good at characters. So I don't know. That's pretty cool. Seems cool. I'm less, unless, I used to be, an NFT hater. Now I'm not a hater. I'm just kind of like, all right, if you want to buy

those for 24 million, like, that's crazy. Yeah. I want to be a participator. You're still a hater? Hater? I'm not a hater. I just like, I just don't. I'm not educated at all with this, and I just don't get it.

I feel like we should. Just because I would, it just doesn't make sense to me. I think until we should try to look into it. Matt, can you make a not to look into it? judge ordered apple to oh no no no we're not talking about apple wait did those

monkeys or whatever get created just for NFTs or yes yeah yeah yeah and sometimes you can make it you can make something and then you'll be like 10 of these are available so you could sell that one thing 10 times what if someone drew I needed money what did okay 20 yeah

it's yours in this little bit but if you you you don't have to crank down the or the market value goes down If you increased that. I needed fast cash. What if someone digitally drew every like CDL pro and then just made him his NFTs and he sold them? I think you'd have to get permission from Activision.

Because unless it's just them not in uniform. And why would you do that? Why would you do? Why would you do CDL pros instead of the Avengers? Because the Avengers might be like, there's probably a lot of people doing Avengers. If they weren't, they aren't. Let me see Avengers NFT, Matt.

Or they're getting fucking sued by Marvel. You know what I saw this morning that blew my fucking mind? Scientists or this one scientific group lab raised enough money to bring back woolly mammoths. And the way that they're going to do that is that they are going to go capture some of their DNA from the frosted area. Marvel to drop Captain America NFT statues, fully readable, amazing Spider-Man. one, number one NFTs. That's Captain America. Yeah, but why do they say Spider-Man?

At the end of June. All right. Yeah, see, this is... So basically they are. They're doing it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's what I'm saying. You said, Woolly Mammoth?

Yeah, Willie Mammoth. Bring that Ladd Bible, Willie Mammoth story, Matt. Essentially what they're going to do is they're going to go back into the Frost era. Get the DNA from there. They're going to actually try to configure... What do you mean the Frost? The Ice Age? Yeah, well, it's called something else.

It's called Frost. about goddamn time right I love woolly mammoths I mean you know what I mean it's just like an elephant dude a woolly mammoth it's an elephant with hair what's a woolly mammoth compared to an elephant it's got hair and it's bigger and it's got longer tusks

how much bigger just like a little bit the woolly mammoth has en roamed around our planet in 10,000 years because the variety of reasons including the ancestors hunting them extensively as well as changes to the world's climate the company raised $15 million because there is is a colossal problem of extension for the Asian elephant, which is a brown one.

So what they're trying to do is trying to, one, help them from being on the brink of extension, but also give them hair so that they can survive in cold environments. That's pretty dope. That is dope. It's like basically you bring them back an old patch. Yeah. To Antarctica. Yeah.

It's like you're bringing back that old-ass NFT that was no longer minted after a certain time. Okay. It's a mammoth. It's a mammoth. The NF mammoth. The NF Mammoth. But essentially, like, I saw. Like, if they said we're going to.

If they're going to bring back like, like, I wouldn't be cool. I wouldn't be cool if they're going to bring back fucking T-Rex. You know what I mean? If it starts here. Yeah. Bring back your mammoth. He's like, I'll be in the basement. Raptors and T-rexes.

Whenever tigers and stuff start going extinct, they're like, should we bring back the saber tooth? Yeah. Like, they're always going to be like, yeah. Oh, alligators are going to exceed? Should we bring back the D-Rex? Yeah, I mean, obviously, like, if, right there it says that the major problem was because younger humans, earlier humans, were hunting them down and...

Humans are so... We're AIDS, bro. We're literal cancer. All we do is just, just, like, I was talking to this issue with Lacefield. Like, all we do is we, like, think about, we were talking about chickens. Yeah. Right? So, like, picture chickens, right?

We capture them, we bring them to their little, like, they're, like, they're, like here enjoy this little house okay like and like just mate little house yeah this like and it's like shoulder to shoulder like you know what I'm saying that we make a mate and then we kill them and then eat them like think about that we're doing that to all like every animal basically yeah like it's and they feel the pain yeah chickens I don't know cows yeah but chickens I mean I don't think they I mean they got to feel the pain though you know for a second yeah but chickens are to kill them like humane ways I guess no some do some don't yeah yeah Which is why PETA exists.

Look, I always say, like, I'm not... So fucked, man. Yeah, it's the craziest, the craziest theory that I heard was... That's why I'm vegetarian. Same. Amen, brother. Hutchins? Yeah.

The craziest thing that I heard, what you say? I said, starting tomorrow. The craziest thing that I heard is that if every single human being dies today, the world lives forever. I believe it. If every, if, if, if every single bee dies today, we all die. Not tomorrow, but, but we all die. Yeah. The, the, the cataclysmic effect that something like that would have on something.

And it's not just bees. It's just insects, period. Like, the problem is us. Yeah, everything's got a place, except for us. Except for us. Like, look what we did to the planet. Yeah. Like, our cities and shit from, like, like, like, if we're in space, like, dude, that looks like a virus.

Yeah. You know, like all the, like, the cities and the lights and shit. It looks like we're like a fungus. This is random, but they said when the comets hit the dinosaurs to extinct them, the tsunamis were like three times as big as the Empire State Building. Yeah. Like the tsunamis that were just fucking crushing. That is insane. Three times bigger than the Empire State Buildings.

Where some of the biggest tsunamis probably caused. That is like. You see an eight foot wave and you're like, it's pretty big. Yeah. Like three. Could you imagine looking up at that wave and seeing trees and shit in it? It would just be like darkness. And then it's dark.

Dude, like think about this. Like that shit hit and it was just probably just like. Whole rush to do. There was probably ash in the atmosphere. Like it was probably just like chaos. Burning everywhere. And then there's a tsunami coming like to. You're like, you're burning.

You're like, I need water. Oh, not that kind of water. Oh, not that kind of water. Yeah. Dead. You're just like, too, this is so it. I hate having those. Like a lot of dinosaurs just got like swept into water.

Yeah. Just drown. One of the, I mean, think about volcanoes, right? Like at least, I don't know. It's scary. I'd rather drown than burn, though, that's for sure. They're probably so confused. What scares you most?

Tornado, tsunami, earthquake. Nothing. I mean, like you're talking about the most, like the most extreme version of the thing. I try of a raptor, dude. I'm good. Like an earthquake? The earthquake just falling into like the fucking

Like this is the end like that type of shit Yeah right A crack opens up And you just fall in It's like you, the volcano and the water All fall into the same hole You're like, oh fuck it's like It's just like here comes a volcano

Here comes a water You're fuck so you're fucked Tsunami just fucking I hate talking about About like humans and our place in here Because I just look around all of us And I'm like I don't need these fucking collectibles man What am I doing?

You guys want to go into the forest Yeah, right. Like, so lucky. Look this video, bro. Whatever this video, we're just done. We're done with videos forever. You know what, let's say. Whenever an earthquake happens, like, there's an actual, like...

Shift. Yeah, I know, like, the plates shift. The tonic plates. Like, on the surface of the earth, it, like, cracks open. Like, no. Sometimes. Like, it's just, like, two things are pushing against each other. Right, right.

We're just feeling that friction. Right, right, right. So, that's an earthquake. It sounds like an earth separation. When you were like, it actually comes apart. I thought that was just a movie. It can. No.

No, it definitely does. It can. It can. You can. You've seen sinkles? Singles are scary as fuck. We have two like went like this way and then like shoved each other this way. And it was a big gap in the middle, right?

Yeah. And like we just don't see it sometimes. It will be the easiest way that I can explain it is like you know what it's if the tectonic shift across the plate across the way shifted to the left. And we are now in directly in front of the stadium. Yeah. Because that's how it. But it'll obviously be massive fucking catastrophe and holes everywhere. Sinkholes like are an actual thing.

And those are scary. Like in Florida? Yeah. Just like your house can just fall in one. Yeah. Like you'd be living there. West Coast. West Coast like landslides and all that shit.

Like that's happening. Yeah, that's real, dude. That shit's great. Like mudslides and shit. Yeah. Mudslides in Asia. Yeah. A house.

A city. Like no gap. I've seen that shit's fucking crazy. Yeah. It's like watching a video and a... Look at that. God. oh my god see i we like we learn about it in

yeah exactly we like learn about earthquakes but like it's never a threat so like what made the fucking grand canyon yeah think about that like what happened to make the green canyon dude like you walk outside from work and these are all real just peep beep wait you see that

yeah the fuck bro so what do you fall into the bottom the core the bottom you see fucking magma bro think about this like dude think about this the fact that we have a fucking core at the center of our planet yeah how does that work how the fuck does our planet

work like we're just sitting on like the the dried up part of like lava and shit right like we're just on like the ground but like and how did we all agree as scientists to not go and explore it and see fucking king Kong and all the

So again, huge shout out to Brooklyn and Upstart. That is crazy. The Truman Show was so far ahead of its time. It really was. Like, it's crazy. If it was made today, it'd be a gross movie. It'd be a really cool. The process, not like a...

Like a Truling Show 2. The thing about the 13th floor is another one. There have been throughout the last 20 years of movies. There have been at least three of them that I can remember that are all about simulations. And if you go beyond... For example, the way the one of them ended was like this dude is not following any signs. He's just going forward. And there's detour signs and that.

He's blowing through the detours. And eventually it turns into like the Matrix and it's just a grid. Yeah. Like all of the simulation. I want to watch that. Imagine you went to go take a shit and you open the HQ door and like it's just a grid

it just glitches. It's like, oops. After you take a shit because you obviously have to take a shit after I finish the shit. After you finish it and you come back to the HQ you open the door and it's a grid.

No, he opened no you open the door, it's a grid you're like fuck you take a shit and he's like where's the toilet paper toilet paper grid done I was all right let me go explore dude what? Toilette's a paper grid

what just happened there? I was following following and then I was like he lost it. you said 20 people good I said I don't know I don't know what the fuck you were saying but like the Truman show is about like streaming and stuff

rather than like a simulation it's like they literally like it's like a show and they live stream a guy at all times and that was before like that's sick it's twisted

it's twisted right it's so twisted they adopt a kid and throw him into a prison with actors in it that's basically what it is yeah Nick imagine this I adopt you okay as you today and I throw you in into this world and there's nothing but just like you're in you're in a you're the only dude in a world full of women they're just like we need you to be the tatted guy you're like I guess do you need me just and guess what they all love they all love they all think that you're the best

player. Everyone wants the team with me. That's your fantasy. Not the girls. All the women want to sleep with me. No, they all want a team with me. Spawn in the world, it's nothing but girls, but everyone likes Halo. And they're all nasty.

They all want a team with me? Who cares that it's all fucking females? You're the Tuger of this world? I'm worried about being the best Havo player in there. I like it. Sentinel's scary trash talk. What are we talking about here? Maddie show us.

Have you seen this? No. It's a Valerant. And the whole Valerite community got so... Matt? They got so upset about this. Why, let's see. Sam, you hear Shazam?

Shazam's a troll. That was it? Look at the fucking replies to that tweet. Why? Why are they so mad? Dude. I'm so confused. Wait, the community got mad.

The community. Why? The Valoran community got mad saying it was unprofessional and they were going to lose sponsors and it's a bad look for the scene. Oh, like thousands of comments. Time out. What the evolved community? First, first, first of all, this is going to fuck with our sponsors. They're just fans.

They're just, let's go. I don't know, but we aren't necessarily the people that, did you watch? been watching it? What about the tournament? No, no, no, no, I haven't watched it. So I don't think, I don't think that we, I mean, I personally as a Call of Duty person who has loved the trash talk from

gears, like that's nothing, right? But also, like, I can see why, you know, certain cultures, like, aren't about that. I can see why maybe in this setting specifically, this specific setting, maybe, just because it's like, it has a really professional vibe. It's really quiet. There's no live crowd. Looks like you're watching. Dancing with the stars.

Yeah. Are they the judges? That's the only, it might seem like cringe. Like these are the judges that are going to turn. Shazam's like, uh, you're two-step. You know what I'm talking about when they hit the button and their chair turned. And they're just like,

the voice. That's what it looks like. I want to train him. Shazam. Yeah, Shazam. The, the trash talk from Sentinel's a scary. I look,

I have no opinion on it. I do. Scary wasn't the right. Scary wasn't the right. Scary wasn't the right word. That was the problem. Like, it shouldn't have said, like, I think the tweet is what made the replies the way it was. If it was like, LOL at Sentinel's.

It would have been a whole different set of replies. Yeah, you might be right. Like, it says, like, they're scary. No, it's, they're not scary. It sound like they were trolly. It sounded like Shazan was just trolling across the stage. Oh, you fucking suck. That was Shazam?

Yeah, you can hear him, like, towards the end part of the video, like, just saying, I don't know, you can play it again. Like, listen. That was it. No, that's so much. He's like, let's go! I don't know. Hey, scumper jumper. Do, do, do,

did, do, did, did, did, why are you so upset? Why are you so upset? You are late? No, we're just having fun, dude.

Oh, my God, I was joking. Yeah, I don't think scares the right word. All right, let's go. The thing is, is this, is pretty much the same community as CS and in CS

they never talk shit. Never. Play it for scum? Would it be bad if you were CS pro and talk shit? No, but even in CS like, I don't know. Dude, the same people that are mad are the same people that get mad when somebody booze the other team that they're not

a fan of. They're like, you know, they shouldn't boo anyone fucking feelings. Talking about Dallas getting dude. No, I'm not. All right, guy dislocating his shoulder, celebrating when? Oh, I've seen this too. Oh my God, that would suck.

Have you seen this? I feel, yeah. I feel like I've almost done that a few times. I thought it was cleat. He drops. Dude, he is dumb hype. And he's like, ow! And everyone's like, he's like, oh, shh.

Everyone's just so clapping. Bro, I'll tell you one thing, okay? I'll tell you one thing. First of all, why is he wearing a mask while plane? Like, look at him. He has his shoulder down here still celebrating. Oh my God. Bro.

I know that. We're good, Matt. So bad right there. That's passion. That's passion. Nick's like, imagine being so unathletic that you dislocate your shoulder celebrating. This is probably going to make him not famous, but. Loveable?

I'd check out his stream. Do you want to see if he flux his shoulder up again? Just playing in a cat. To clarify the mask comment that I just made, everybody gets tested in order to compete. So them wearing a mask up there, like makes no sense because none of our players have had to do that because of the guidelines. Well, you don't know the guidelines of that tournament. I would hope that they would be following guidelines. I'm just saying you don't know.

Not like. Look at how much I care that they should be following guidelines. Anyway. Let's move on. Yeah, let's move on. Let's not get political. Wait, okay. But have you ever seen?

anyone. I don't think I've ever seen anyone in Esports get hurt from celebrating. I thought that he twisted his ankle. That's what I thought. You see it in sports all the time. People like go up and like celebrate and they'll come down on their ankle wrong. Yeah, that's what I mean. Yeah, that's what I thought happened. That's embarrassing. Yeah, that's what I thought happened. I don't know. Let's see here. Daniel Martinez

has a question for the podcast and he says if you, by the way, Matt showed me the designs for the for the t-shirts. We're almost there. I didn't like some of it. I thought someone was kind of whack, but some of the stuff was kind of cool. So we're moving, adding, and all that stuff. Here we go. If you guys could train and be trained in another professional sport, what sport would it be and who would you want as a mentor and who would you like to mentor you in e-sport?

Holy shit, Dan, can you ask one question? Like, this dude went on. It's not over. Ready? It could be from any sport, football, basketball, rugby swimming, golf, NASCAR, Baja Racing. Baja racing. These are listing every sport? Yeah, he did.

the fuck's a sport. Do you guys could train or be trained? Nathcobbae, my boss. Danny Martinez, I would,

I would probably do that means I could just spawn in a trainer. I don't have to like move somewhere. Golf? I was thinking golf. I was thinking golf too.

That you're not good at. Yeah. I was thinking golf at first. Then. Fuck so funny. Yeah. I was thinking maybe. It's just the fact that it's the only sport I'm not good at.

See, is the only sport that I don't feel that I can handle my own in. And you know what I mean? I mean that. Rugby's kind of savage, dog. People, I don't really think people talk about rugby as much it is. I look like every single. I look like every rugby player ever because they're all Samoan.

Well, not all, but look at this face. They're my brothers from down under. What about you? I don't know. I probably choose like something that could get me in shape. So like swimming. Swimming.

That would be so boring. Swimming? Yeah. That'd be like golf. It'd smell like chlorine all the time too. Okay, maybe soccer then. You would be all shredded, but you look like a prune because you're all like, you look like your fingers because you're always in there. Yeah.

Yeah, but the easy way to get like abs. Just. I feel like I'd do. Basketball would be too. I feel like, no. You can't do like basketball because like, because like say in this. I don't even want to do basketball. Let's say, let's say that you could do basketball, but then you could also get an upgrade.

You're like 6, 10. You know what I'm saying? You're like, you have a basketball build. I feel like, I don't know, it'd be like basketball be like taxing on your body. Bro, that's actually a good point. Would you rather be better at basketball and gain a couple of inches in height? Or would you rather be the best soccer player in the world than be's mega short? The best soccer player in the world is already mega short.

Exactly. Would you rather be Lionel Messi or would you rather be? LeBron James That's a good question Messy It's the most fun What would be the non-taxing Baseball and I would have Jeter

fucking coach me That's the best answer I guess it's a good answer That's a good answer No one in the world doesn't like to catch Or play in fact You had that ready What do you say?

I said no one in the world doesn't like to catch You know what I mean Or catch with Derek Jeter Or catch with Derek Jeter If I could do that That'd be fucking awesome Revereign Clutch If you could combine two or more

Call of Duties to make one perfect call of duty Who picked this shit? Blackup's two monot for two. Next question. Call of Duty 4 and Callal Duty 4 remastered. Did you just get one this is a cold, a minute shit game? Remastered.

It's just like, yeah, Colette 4 remastered remixed. There's no better sniping than Call it before. Period. Like the, you can't strafe jump into a scope the way that you can't, and even in the remastered.

Anyway, I don't know, I don't know my answer would be. So we have a, we have a couple of things to. MW2. It's just that those are the two. You haven't played either.

Yeah, I have. What do you mean you need to be down? Just the only two that I remember that we're like, yeah, we, Witnesses this going live, Matt. Play on like,

all the other. Tomorrow or the next day. All right. Well, that, we wanted to send you off on a couple of announcements, right? We have the,

the phase. Optic Collaboration, Apparel Collaboration and other stuff that's going to be going down on Friday, September 17th. Yes, September 17th. And I am personally going to be taking over the face account and I'm giving away some artworks that I have personally created. 404, 104, you know how it goes. So check that out and be on the lookout because there's going to be a limited amount of

certain things, but there's going to be an abundant of amount of the other stuff. So this is the first time. It's a historic event, I think. And hopefully we can do that again. Did you have fun out there? That shit was fun. Yeah, that sure was really fun for sure. Yeah.

I think, collabing like that with other people, I think is like something that we've never done. And I think that we should do more of, like whether, but it has to be in the physical, right? It was good that no one, like everyone was just together.

We all had to ride the bus together and fucking eat together and literally spent. Yeah, it wasn't like, they weren't like, Hollywood. Yeah. Everyone were just like, where the fuck are they?

No, they're 10 minutes late. Yeah, no, everybody was sure. So they're not coming anymore. All right. Yeah.

No, it was good. I mean, that's what we did when we didn't go the first week that we're supposed to go. Oh, shit.

You're right? We're talking about Hollywood. Here we are Texas. I was like, imagine they're like, let's just go home. Yeah. We did.

That's true. Anyway, they were amazing hosts. It was, it was a good time. They showed us a really, really good time. I'm excited to see the videos come out. We're going to tell you who won.

But I do hope that next season that we do another collab like this one, but they get to come out here so we can go fishing, shooting real weapons, yurred me, and what else you think we could do? Like an outdoorsy thing, like who can create fire and shit? A coordinated basketball thing. Like an actual coordinated basketball game. Maybe get jerseys, maybe a full-core game. I want to do you clutch one game, man.

And like, you got to, spoiler alert. Oh, sure. You want to do an actual paintball thing? Yeah, like GoPro's on each person's gun. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, we can make that happen. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I think that because of the way that we did it and everything that's going on around us that sort of like had things to do with the launch, I think that it wasn't that great. Because they just did a collab with fucking Batman. They're in comic books. They're killing. Shout out to them, man. Really, really happy for all of them and looking forward to doing that next year. again here in Texas. Anyway, all the information for the drop

and all the information of what it is that you need to do is going to be listed in the description down below. One more shout out to Brooklyn and Upstart for sponsoring the podcast and we'll see you guys on the next one. Goodbye. Peace.
