Starting point is 00:00:00 And as a player, you're scared of them too, that crowd. Because if that crowd gets on your ass, you're like, no, not them. Not them. What's up, Zinn? You can't. Like, they're just fucking ruthless. They got crazy chance and shit. What do we think of Zinny?
Starting point is 00:00:13 Shit. I'd be like, no. Not this one. Goes viral. Gentlemen, welcome, welcome, welcome. Welcome to episode 132 of the Optic Podcast presented by Price Picks. And we'll tell you a little bit more about them later on in the podcast. as well as Better Help, Rocket Money and Bird Dog.
Starting point is 00:00:47 Shout out to all the sponsors. We would love the podcast. We love to see it. We're able to shower the king with riches beyond belief. Yes. Dude, you haven't booked your flight for Nate Schatz's wedding, which is happening next week. Wait, you need the flight number actually.
Starting point is 00:01:06 Yeah, that's what we're saying. That shit's all sold out, bro. I'm not sitting in the middle seat. No, it's not. No, there's one. There's one seat left. There's seat. Window.
Starting point is 00:01:14 No. aisle. There's one seat left. It's aisle. And if you are that person who books a window seat and has the audacity to get up in the middle
Starting point is 00:01:23 of the fucking flight to go pee, don't do that again. If you got to go, you got to go. Then get an aisle seat. If you cannot control your bladder, get an aisle seat.
Starting point is 00:01:32 You do not deserve the window. What are you, Dr. Strange? You have to fucking, am I going to have to piss during this flight? That's whatever it thinks. That was a, was that a forced laugh?
Starting point is 00:01:43 It's like a pity laugh. No one else was laughing, so you're like, I'll throw him a bone. That's a real laugh right there. No, that is the thing. Like, if I get a window seat, I went to the bathroom before I boarded the plane and I'm not getting up in the middle. I never go to the bathroom on the plane. Inconvenience people. Have you ever had to go number two on a plane?
Starting point is 00:02:02 Yeah, I went once in my whole life. How old were you? Are you twiddled D and shit? Have you ever had to go number two on a plane? Oh, yeah. More times than I'd like to admit. Really? Really?
Starting point is 00:02:16 Dude, sometimes you have no choice. What are you gonna do? Sometimes you just... Dude, if we ate those waivers, we're in chairs we just had it and now we got on a plane, sorry folks. Yeah? We're gonna have a problem. How do you like, just that so quickly?
Starting point is 00:02:27 The worst is you walk out, there's a line of three people standing in the aisle. That was a long time coming. Yeah? You just butted out the bathroom. Terrible. I mean, you know, people go in there and bang, it's not like... What? No, not anymore.
Starting point is 00:02:42 A mile high club is not a thing. Not anymore. No way. On a jet maybe. Not like on a commercial plane. Commercial plane's crazy because you just know. Maybe like if it's an empty plane you're in the back, a few rows from the back, you're like somewhere in the middle.
Starting point is 00:02:59 It's not enough space, you know what I'm saying? I'm animated, you know what I'm saying? All right, ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for tuning in to this week's episode. We do appreciate everybody stopping by. We have a lot of talk. talk about a lot catching up. It's been a long time since I've been on the podcast myself. I do miss it. Hanging on my boys,
Starting point is 00:03:20 it's one of my favorite things to do on a weekly basis. But yeah, aside from that, we had an excellent season. Obviously, the watch party. We topped it up with some HALO stuff. Are you guys planning on doing anything for Apex or no?
Starting point is 00:03:33 I did a Rocket League. Apparently, well, Apex is in London. So, and I think they're starting at like 10.30. So it's like, if we want to do it, it's 4.30 start time for us,
Starting point is 00:03:45 4.30 a.m. Which is kind of fucking early. Wait, what? 4.30 a.m.? Yeah. I'm sure you can just like, just watch whatever you're on if you want to. Or it's like, you don't have to watch. Thursday's going to be a 10 a.
Starting point is 00:03:56 Is that 10 a.m. our time, Riley? Yeah, that's, that's your British standard time. So it's fourth. That's four. And then 2.15 would be, it's six hours behind. So that would be 8.15. That's more doable. And then the last one's 1230.
Starting point is 00:04:14 So, I mean, what group are we in? Do we know what group we're in? We're in group C. Oh, that's perfect. Go back up. Isn't that A versus C? So, yeah, we'd have to be up to 4. I do want to say ahead of time that I love seeing all these other e-sports teams that I've never heard about be a part of this thing.
Starting point is 00:04:33 Because that just means that there are still many, many people out there that are extremely passionate about the beauty that is esports and what it will be in the future. Gosh, darn it. Anybody can do it. Put your mind to it. And you're back into it. So when they say C versus D, what the fuck does that mean? I don't know, because there's a lot of teams in C. That's what I'm assuming.
Starting point is 00:04:55 I'm not sure how it's going to work. We're in TSM's group as well. Look at that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just don't do like an official watch party. Just like play it by ear. You can just change the game and just change your title to Apex Watch Party. That's what I was doing with Rocket League.
Starting point is 00:05:08 I would just pick and choose games, Rocket League watch party, Reddit, Cod. I would just go back and be like a super official. You know what I'm saying? I'm done with it. watch some of this because we've been we've been dipping our toes into apex and let me tell you every single day the past two days that we've been playing it i've had i had a call five hours in and then we had the texas day brazil dinner five five hours in both times i was mad that when i had to get off i was like i'm playing vow a little bit i was like one more one more game
Starting point is 00:05:34 are you go with the keys i'm decent like i'm not nothing crazy but like i get kills like if you have hand-eye coordination it doesn't matter what's in front of you i've proven it by being the greatest one of the greatest snipers on Battalion 1944, which is keyboard and mouse. Yeah, Zinney says we're going to lose him whenever we start playing, start playing Valor. Why? I never, you know, I've been saying this. I like it.
Starting point is 00:05:58 You never play keyboard mouse games before either? Yeah, I played a little bit. No, a little bit of CSGO. Bro, the... I'm just, I literally have no experience keyboard mouse. You should start playing, like, instead of watching shows every single night, play like a couple hours of a keyboard and mouse game. Yeah, like, two minimum two matches.
Starting point is 00:06:15 a day. Instead of eating fucking cookies and popcorn and chocolates you want to stream eight hours a day and then do aim labs at night. No, not aim labs. It's getting real. You're not streaming eight a day pal. Yeah, I do. I do six to eight. Sometimes ten. Okay, that's six to eight, not eight, buddy. Six to eight is two hours, dude. Two hours, good. Sorry, that's a long time. That's not six
Starting point is 00:06:34 hours. Sorry, six to eight. That's, wait, did you really think that you stream six hours a day? I do six hours. You're not an eight hour, Andy. Dude, yes I, are you on dick? my bad you're forgiven yeah my hop on watch some of this
Starting point is 00:06:51 see how the pros get down people keep telling me to watch the pros so might have to watch I think you pick up a lot I played apex when I first came out as not my not see I've always I've always felt the best way to learn at least mechanically is obviously
Starting point is 00:07:04 play yourself and then whenever you need to learn like strategy and shit then you can watch the pros I'm not watching a pro to learn how to fucking krafe no kidding me fucking scumpy I can't crowd straight I like it.
Starting point is 00:07:17 All right. Riley, bring us back to some of these things. So as I was saying about, you know, next week we have a really short week because we have to fly into Nate Schatz's wedding on Wednesday
Starting point is 00:07:27 and then we're there all the way through Saturday. There's a lot. I'm not going to tell what we're doing out there, the activities and so forth. I mean, just belligerent drinking and the tying of a beautiful knot.
Starting point is 00:07:39 The tying of a beautiful night. I will say that I did foresee these days. days are coming and sure they're easy to predict that somebody grows up they get married they have kids but i knew it when these young boys were young boys i knew that one day they'll become men i know you got kids didn't know don't put that on me don't even put that way why you don't want a little bit i don't know let me reverse that real quick knock on that wood you mark real wood you might have one already you don't know no no stop putting that in there that shit up Seth what about you when you laughing at nothing wait so
Starting point is 00:08:15 When's your wedding? Have you said that yet? I haven't given a date. I know the date, but I'm not going to say it. Okay, so do you want to tell the people who are attending your wedding the date so that they can make plans ahead of time? It's next year. Okay, all right. So we got time, is what you're saying?
Starting point is 00:08:34 Very far away. All right. We got plenty of time, trust. Just making freaking. Wait, Wednesday, you're going to the wedding? Wait, when's the wedding? Wednesday? No.
Starting point is 00:08:43 Friday. Friday? Oh, okay. I think. I don't know, I'm in, but weddings. I'll be there Thursday. Especially fancy weddings as this one is obviously going to be. I think you have to come Wednesday.
Starting point is 00:08:53 It's like a. I'm pretty sure because like we're in the party. So we got it. We got to be there Wednesday. Yeah, I would definitely look there. We can't miss their house. You got your speeches ready?
Starting point is 00:09:00 Dude, come on. No, for real. I'm serious. Because he said the same thing. You want to bring it up? You want to bring up the text? Dude. Every,
Starting point is 00:09:05 every groomsman does not give a speech. No, it will be out there for 45 minutes. He's fucking with you guys. I'm bringing it up right now. If I have to give a speech, I'm not going to be piss in my pants. I would. I am. You would?
Starting point is 00:09:18 Yeah. I'll just go stand next to skump. Like, what would you say? Exactly what he said. This is a joint speech. Something. I'd probably keep it short and sweet, especially if there's multiple people going. I'd probably keep it short and sweet.
Starting point is 00:09:32 Yeah. I've got a pleasure seeing you grow up. We've got a lot of success together. Yeah, I would. Congratulations to you and yours. I might need you to write. We were playing wagers and shit back in a day. Crazy-o shit changes.
Starting point is 00:09:43 Because for my brothers, I did like a, probably like a five-minute speech. What's your text? Come on. I didn't find it, but it's in there. It's like, hey, I had appreciated if everybody who's at the dinner, like, does a quick speech. That's what Haley said about Matt. Mark, just go, I just want to do a cheers to money and then just say butter and you're out. No.
Starting point is 00:10:02 Good one. I can't piss them all. Nice. Not actually. It's going to be family there. Like, we can't go in there too hot. We got to be respectful. Just fuck on my boy.
Starting point is 00:10:09 Oh, my God. I'm going to be so nervous, bro. I can't do this. I got a number. No, he'll be good. You'll get a couple drinks down you. Oh, yeah. Seriously, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:16 You get two drinks. You can't have too many because you can't go up there slurring and shit. Like, yeah, guys, I fucking love you, Matt. This is going to be me. My best friend, Kyle, do he formal. Yeah, you can't do. The two drinks, get the nerves out a little bit. No, no, you'll be.
Starting point is 00:10:35 And then just write a couple things on your notebook. It's California. So you bring the backwards. I'll have everything else. It's in San Jose. You can't go in there. Something like weed? Why not?
Starting point is 00:10:42 Yeah. People smell like cigars. Yeah, that's true. That's what I'm saying. You know, there's going to be older people there. You know how they are with that shit. It's a fucking California, and I am older people. I am, I am. I wish somebody was like,
Starting point is 00:10:56 oh, no, smoking, show ass. I'm going to be scared. I can't, I might not be able to do this speech. What, the guavas. I heard people got a, how do you know about that? Huh? What do you know about that?
Starting point is 00:11:06 What do you know about? What do you mean? Red Bull, that's all they were talking about. Guava biscotti? We haven't had that in, like, Anyway, what do you say about the speeches? Yeah, bro, I don't think I could do that. I'm going to be too scared.
Starting point is 00:11:19 I heard you got to dance coming in the party. Well, yeah, when you walk in. Dude, what, you don't got no moves? I've seen your moves. I'm going to come in there. I'm going to come in there. I'm going to derange face. I'm calling it right now.
Starting point is 00:11:32 I'm calling it right now. I'm walking in and doing the Pesso Pluma. All my, yeah. Yep. The only thing I know. It's not even, I don't know. words, I just know the melody. I'm walking in there
Starting point is 00:11:44 to the peasant plumber. I'm just going to have sunglasses on and just be like this. If they can't see your eyes, they can't see you. I'm definitely wearing sunglasses. 100%. You know what I mean? Because I'm going to be twisting.
Starting point is 00:11:56 Oakley sunglasses. Oakley sunglasses. To be more specific. Yeah, shout out to them. You guys want to talk about some call duty really quickly. Obviously, you guys being the experts, me being the super.
Starting point is 00:12:06 I'm just talented in the game. Look, I do have something to say about the NYSL split and like the amount of stuff that I've seen on there but I want to get a little bit more information like from you guys as before I formulate words that convey my thoughts around and go back Riley
Starting point is 00:12:21 gosh darn it thank you thank you for stepping in though Maddie E-Matt Craig my boy was in a car accident we actually saw it we actually saw it really yeah it was a pile up yeah we saw like what it was like three F150s like damn yeah they were like three big ass trucks
Starting point is 00:12:40 yeah big ass trucks yeah and it backed us all the way up to you like drove past them and shit yeah and i like you wrote down the window like you can't park there yeah and i was i was like dude what the fuck's wrong with you did that oh yeah i called uh called mad i'm like yo did you hear anybody yell you can't park there because we didn't know us him until uh until we had passed the thing uh we saw somebody to stretch i'm like that this is a black dude i'm like that's not mad uh uh yeah but we didn't know we didn't know it was matt though we didn't know was mad though we didn't know until we passed it, right?
Starting point is 00:13:14 Well, yeah, because Paige texted us and she was like, the podcast is going to be a little late. Matt was in a wreck, and I was like, do we just see that? Yeah, we did. And I was like, fuck, I mean, I did see a black truck and I'm like, man, this dude drives that. So as soon as we found out that he was, that he was fine, all the jokes started to fly through. I didn't really fucking scream out the window. You can't park there. I did scream out the window.
Starting point is 00:13:34 You can't park there, but a mile, a mile ahead. What? Did I be honest? You were like a mile ahead. You didn't say it at passing it. We were probably like half a mile ahead. Yeah. So he started rolling down the window.
Starting point is 00:13:45 I was like, what are you doing? He said, you can't park there. You see where that blue, you see where the blue truck is right there? You see where the blue truck is? That's how far away they were when I, when I rolled away was like, you can't park there.
Starting point is 00:13:55 I see the TikToks was funny. I gave him the pity laugh. Who, me? Me was what? That was fucking hilarious. Yeah. hilarious. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:14:03 Um. Though, I thought about I have to play a trick song. It's 1136. No, none of the of Pine Park was had already. All right, Snoopy becomes the first players to officially sign, confirm a CDL contract for 2024. Nice. Shout out to Snoopy to Dom.
Starting point is 00:14:26 Shout out to my Mexican brother. I hope that Monterey, I think is what do you say he was from. I asked him like where he learned English as as well spoken as he is. And he said just cod lobbies. And I was like, interesting, interesting. So who's rumor in Boston right now? Snoopy. You still got the insight there?
Starting point is 00:14:46 Yeah, I know it. I can't say it. I told you in the car. Think hard. Yes. Because it changed quite a bit, right? It's changed multiple times and it's changed quite a bit. But Snoopy first player.
Starting point is 00:15:01 Good for him. He impressed us at Champs. He was his first event as a CDL player. And he came out. He showed out. And he looked like he had a pretty cracked POV. So I'm anxious to see what he can do with a full season behind his sales. And they have to really like him too.
Starting point is 00:15:15 Because like if you let Awakening go, which I still think is interesting, because Awakening, I do think, like, an underrated pick this off season. I feel like based on recency bias, Awakening is kind of like, he had like one crazy map of champs where he's like 15 and 3 and they're losing by 10. And now everyone's saying he's a slow kill whore. I'm just like, I feel like that's super recency bias. Like he is slower, but like I do think talent-wise. He's so good.
Starting point is 00:15:40 he was cheating. Joe is and I play with him so I have like first hand knowledge. Joe is has potential to be one of the best players in the world easily. So like I'm surprised to see him flying under the radar but they must really like him a lot if they're keeping him out of everybody. I mean I thought I mean excellent player I too was surprised with that one but I was also surprised on the lego of Reese. So yeah we'll see good for Snoopy. The Rossomania has gotten crazy but I will say based on rumors it's a pretty much a four team league I mean based on the what does that mean? I heard you say that before. There's going to be other good teams. There's going to be other good teams that are playing spoiler. But when it comes to just like rosters on paper, the top four
Starting point is 00:16:19 rumored teams are undoubtedly not even close to some other teams. Yeah, they're super teams. Obviously, like you have players like Slasher and Priesta and some players you can put together probably and like form a roster that can compete. But when it comes to like consistency and dominance, those four are just like, I feel like it's one, two, three, four. It's going to be a fun season to watch. And there's a gap. And then it's like five, six, seven, whatever. It's going to be a fun season to watch next season. I think it's going to be, we always say the CDL's competition always kinds of, it gets
Starting point is 00:16:49 tougher and tougher as the CDL goes on. And is that true, do you think? I think now, yeah, because I think we finally reached the point where it's like, it's cutthroat. Players became actual free agents so they could actually have options. Well, it's also cutthroat. If you're not performing, your stock goes down so quick now. Like, if you're not performing, you're on a bad game. So, like, the top teams only have players that are, like, performing well or have, like, a crazy track record.
Starting point is 00:17:14 Well, essentially, it was, like, two years of scouting kind of before, like, the real roster mania. Obviously, we've had roster mania, but that's, like, if a team didn't want a player or there's a buyout, this is the first time, like, actual, like, superstars who have won world championships now and whatever, have been able to do whatever they want. So there was no trade, no buyout bullshit. They could walk wherever they want. And that's why I think we have rumored for literal, I think, super teams that I think, think, because they asked us on stream, like, who won roster mania out of these four? And I'm like,
Starting point is 00:17:43 I think they all win. Like, I don't think one team is like miles ahead of the rest. Like, it's going to be a battle when these two teams play, a war when these two teams play. This team will beat this. Like, it's going to be back and forth when it comes to the top four. Yep. I agree. It's going to be, it's going to be a fun year to watch. If the rumored rosters are true, it'll be a fun year to watch. Everyone's going to win. The New York stuff is crazy, though. What? Tell me about it. So initially the rumor was Priest's that was having contract negotiation issues with New York. It was confirmed that Kismet signed a new contract to New York and then they didn't take
Starting point is 00:18:19 Priest's option so that they let him become unrestricted to try and sign him to a new deal. And everyone's sort of talking about this contract, which I think is kind of bullshit because I think one thing is true. You win three tournaments including a world championship. if that team wanted to stick together, they would have stuck together. If Hydra walked on the room and said, get Priest's out of my team, he'd be on the team. And whether their budget wasn't high enough, whatever it may be, they could have gave him a bigger prize split, whatever.
Starting point is 00:18:45 I think they just dropped them. I think they chose Sib over Priest's. I think they saw other teams sort of upgrading talent. And they were like, let's make this move to try and raise our ceiling a bit, as I think would happen. Because no one's going to tell me. I can tell me. That makes sense.
Starting point is 00:18:59 It makes sense to me. In my mind, it's common sense. Priesta would have accepted a lower contract. Sure, he would have fucking went back and forth. He's not stupid. He won three tournaments and a world championship. If the salary was, it couldn't have been that bad. Who knows?
Starting point is 00:19:13 But you picked the less money for the better team for longevity. You know what I'm saying? It's just common sense. So I think Sid was just picked over Priesta and he kind of gets the short end of the stick. I know I've been rambling. The last thing, I think two things are true here. I think I think Priesta gets fucked when he shouldn't have.
Starting point is 00:19:31 I don't have, honestly. Why? How? Because I think if you win three championships, including champs, you should feel like you should feel like you've done your part of that system, and that team should stick going forward. They won half the tournaments on the year. That's not easy to do nowadays. And the only other season that we've seen on that caliber was Cold War phase.
Starting point is 00:19:48 And people were calling that team a fucking dynasty. But I don't think they get worse with him. So, like, that's what's shitty for Priesta. I don't think it should have happened. I think Priester should have been secure, but I don't think they get worse with him. And that's like the shitty thing for Priesta. I don't think New York downgrades.
Starting point is 00:20:03 Honestly, that's my opinion. I know you were saying like Priest is a big role player, which I agree, but I do think... In terms of talent, I mean, it is a slight upgrade. Sib, his POV just looks a little bit different. And there's no disrespect to P-Dog. Mechanically, he's better. Mechanically, he's better. Preston, though, obviously, I still feel like Preston is a selfless player,
Starting point is 00:20:22 though that's always going to make the right play to win. And that is very important in a league nowadays where, you know, people could be playing for their stock, could be playing for stats sometimes. Well, Priest's the winningest player in the CDL history. But we also talked about yesterday on stream, we were like, it's your support sub that is like, that is the more important of like the glue positions. Your support sub is more important than like a support flex.
Starting point is 00:20:46 I think, I think with these rumored rosters, I think New York with Priesta was top four, and I think New York with Sibb is top four. Like I don't, like, they don't fall out of the top four. That's what sucks for Priest's like. I think it's hard to call any of the top four rumored teams right now. it's hard to order them right now just because they're all so talented.
Starting point is 00:21:05 It's just going to come down to who mesh is better, who's coach better. I mean, it's, and who shows up on the day. And who shows up on the day? Let's talk about just like, can we talk about, sure. I mean, the rumor of rosters are this. We've talked about a lot. It's slash your route for Draza on phase. It's Sib for Priest on New York.
Starting point is 00:21:24 It's Fred and Kenny coming here. Envoy for Hixie, which I think Envoy for Hixie is probably the most underrated change just because player for player, they win Rostermania. If you're talking like one player for one player, Envoy for Hixie, just based on the role, like, I think, I think respectfully, I think envoy's ceiling's a lot higher than Hixie based on talent. And he still runs that same selfless, like, role player role. Not to mention that team is a really good teamwork team and they just got a way better player. No, no disrespect. I'm just saying. But like, Dill's pretty crazy. And Dylan was in 100thief system and they had great teamwork at the end of
Starting point is 00:21:58 Vanguard. So it's like he knows he knows how to play in a sense. Just don't get in a 4V2 round 11 because he'll hit back alley. Dumbulls. And then they line up. They line up. I can't imagine Lamar's feeling when that happened. That's just like, it's like open up a 360 on Christmas. It's just to stick up the best gift you to ask.
Starting point is 00:22:18 Yeah, hell yeah. Thanks, Santa. It's fucking three players that collat with a crig. I was one shot. I got two. I don't know. I think I would have been aware enough to realize that me and my team. teammates are in a triple opportunity, Collat.
Starting point is 00:22:34 You know what I would have moved forward. But who am I besides one of the smartest call three players as ever play the game? What's next? Yeah, what is next? No, I, let's... If those top four teams are true, it's top four than the rest. It's my final statement on it.
Starting point is 00:22:48 So, all right, so what we know is that from rumors, Drozza is going to face, even though they had fucking beef. Do you think that's going to have like any... You think they get over to that shit quick? I'm not sure if it was real beef. Like, I'm not sure. Okay. It was like, uh, it was like for the show beef.
Starting point is 00:23:07 Okay, cool. It takes. I like to hear that. I feel like it takes a lot to like really dislike someone on a personal level like that. Like when you're competing against them and Scrap calls you dog shit, fuck scrap. I'm going to be it in the next game. You're not going to walk past scrap and bump his shoulder in real life. It doesn't get to that point unless there's like really something serious going on.
Starting point is 00:23:26 There won't be an aches pushing nade shot situation. No. No, no way. That was crazy. Were you like, oh, sure. Were you there? He jumped on stage and she said, like, chill out. Don't touch Nate.
Starting point is 00:23:40 All right, Miami, Miami Heretics. Heretics. Sorry, Miami Heretics reportedly abandoned as new brand for Florida Mutineers slot. Yeah. So it was supposed to be the Miami Heretics coming in and taking control of the spot. And now it's not happening anymore. more as per rumors. Apparently what the trademark was
Starting point is 00:24:03 abandoned. So now Florida, they were going to have, obviously, like, their Spanish team, they're going to have like medals, journey, you know, players like that, Real. Amazing. And Vickle. And now the mutineers are rumored to be sticking
Starting point is 00:24:21 with their spot and there's rumor to be sticking with Vickle and Brack right now. They're building around those two players. Which is crazy to me, because I do think capsule was their best player far and away at the end of the year? Who? I think,
Starting point is 00:24:34 Capsiddle. Vickle and Brack are like they're Vickle and Brack and Capsule. Building or, no. No, no capsule. Yeah, what he was saying is that he was a better one.
Starting point is 00:24:41 What? Just looking at Mark. But they're building around Vickle and Brack now. But it was like a full squad wipe besides Vickle. They started showing out at the end of the year a little bit. They started playing better. Damn.
Starting point is 00:24:54 And I think Caps. They got rid of a fellow in cap? Yeah. But it was supposed to be basically a squad wipe besides Vickle and now Brack's back into the equate. I do hope Heretics come in. Like I hope as long as Vickle's stays out. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:07 They should have kept fellows. So that was big news. There's no, there's no rumors as to why that deal broke down. I mean, I'm sure there are. Gotta be that paper. I just don't know why because Miami would be abandoning the, not abandoning, but transferring the league spot to the Heretics. I think it'd be like a merger.
Starting point is 00:25:28 I think mutineers and heretics would have partnered for it. No? They would have been labeled one or the other, right? Yeah. Well, I'm saying, I don't know. You think a situation like Atlanta face happened where... From what I understood. Atlanta licenses the brand from the actual org.
Starting point is 00:25:47 That's what I thought was happening. Okay. I thought mutineers would still be involved, but the name would change, and they would take off like the financial burden from just the mutineers, and they'd be like more of a partnership. That's what I thought. I could be wrong. I have I swear I swear to everyone here and everyone watching I haven't been keeping up with shit on all of this craziness this is like my what is it 14th roster fucking mania
Starting point is 00:26:09 you know just just letting it happen yeah man it's like it's like somebody was supposed to be playing and then he didn't want to be playing and then somebody else was supposed to be playing and they didn't want to be fucking playing I'm just like man this is enough of this shit I'm not fucking keeping up with the Kardashians no more I'm just going to sit back here and let the people who get paid to do that, do it. But that's pretty cool. The cart partners play test the new Call of Duty, 2023, 2024 at NBA Summer League. I think this is false.
Starting point is 00:26:37 Yeah. No, it's not. No, I think they were showing them like snippets of it. They were showing them snippets of the new game. Like, they're showing them clips of the new game. But they didn't actually play it. That's what the rumor was. There's no way that they were like.
Starting point is 00:26:51 They did it before though, right? Like this is the first. He's on MW2. If you're getting NBA athletes in the room to look at fucking. Twitch clips, just send it to them. Like, what's the point of this whole thing if you can't actually play the game? There's a risk it gets leaked. Like, that's what I heard.
Starting point is 00:27:06 I could be wrong, but I heard that they were not playtesting the new game. I'm trying to play test. I already sent the necessary messages because I want to go play it early. That's MW2. Like, look at that. Look at that. Unless it's just completely re-skinned, the lobby's the same. Look at the bottom left.
Starting point is 00:27:20 I mean, it's probably the same engine, but you're right. That does look like MW2. That looks like MW2. But I wouldn't be shocked if like the same you are. is like carried over like I wouldn't be shocked if that's somehow MW3 well we think a lot of people think it's literally just going to be a re-skinned game which I think that's probably not but weren't there rumors that it's like actually like a like a like a new title who knows we'll find out well they said it was going to be on a two-year cycle this may prove to be the case it's like
Starting point is 00:27:47 yeah it's the same game and it is on a two-year cycle we just reskinned mid-year or me or mid-term yeah we need to see the comments the comments why they'll still say exactly what It's also crazy that I wasn't invited because I was in Vegas for the Nick Merck's event during this while it was happening. And I didn't get an invite. I think the reason that you didn't get an invite is because of this podcast. Damn. You know, period. No, we're not.
Starting point is 00:28:13 We're not, listen. We know that we are saying the things that we're saying to hopefully reach the ears that can improve this. We're not saying this to degrade it. Yeah, but I think to be fair. But I think we're fair. We talk about the bad shit. We talk about the good shit. Doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:28:28 I mean, like, you got to call it how it is. Because one thing stands true. We're all here because of call of duty. Sure. Period. That's true. We just want to see our baby flourish. That's true.
Starting point is 00:28:37 And the people coming up next to experience the same. Because of the personalities and love that we had. I mean, I can't even describe the feeling of like a 14-hour game battle session back in the day. Like, there's nothing like a new map pack came out. I was sprinting off the bus. Tits just fucking. Why is Anthony running? zombies mad
Starting point is 00:28:58 I'm just Oh man You love that shit Dude I loved it I missed that shit Same The last time The last time that I had
Starting point is 00:29:05 An 11 hour Game Battle session Was with Fizz And this was like During Modern Warfare Remastered They're like fucking
Starting point is 00:29:14 11 hours Just playing doubles All day Boom boom boom boom Boom boom boom When he was working at Google He was working from home Now I'm kidding
Starting point is 00:29:20 I don't know if I think He had some days off And it's like Who cares Well we were all East Coast too So like snow day there was nothing better than a snow day Oh I'd be looking up early to look at the news
Starting point is 00:29:30 Hell yeah at the bottom of the screen Yep the little and then the house phone rings And you're like yes And then there was it once in a blue moon It's like school's still on you're like what It's like a late start I hate that I hate that I'm not going
Starting point is 00:29:44 Two hour delay What's the point I'm not going in? You kidding? Oh man Anyways but I really hope I wonder if kids these days are still feeling that maybe with different games or whatever, but like just the sheer, like I would sit in class
Starting point is 00:29:58 just like literally daydreaming about leaving the play Call of Duty. It was like, yeah, it was an obsession. No, it's Fortnite now. That's the new,
Starting point is 00:30:04 that's the next generation grab, capture. You think? It was Fortnite. It was. There's always something new, man, I was a new toy.
Starting point is 00:30:12 Friday. Who was just talking about that? I'm like, I wonder when the next big game's going to come out. And, like captures a new generation. Yeah, yeah,
Starting point is 00:30:18 like to really unite everyone that plays video. Because now all those Fortnite players that, that, you know, garnish that audio. through Fortnite.
Starting point is 00:30:26 Now those same people that watch them play Fortnite are probably gonna grow old with them and continue to watch them just like what happened with us in Call of Duty. Maybe not as closely or because it's obviously
Starting point is 00:30:36 we were competing and shit like that but like that's just how it is. You get it and then you maintain that audience for years. I'd be shocked if a game can do what Fortnite did because it was like Fortnite the Fortnite thing was crazy
Starting point is 00:30:49 because then you had like COVID mixed in and everybody's inside watching games or playing games. so it was like a mixture of like perfect timing for fortnight when i say perfect time i just mean like everybody was playing video games so for that was just like a perfect time it was colossal it was literally colossal yeah and had we had someone somewhere listening to me

Starting point is 00:38:36 Then you go get top 24. That pack splits up. Yeah. Oh, man, I do miss it. I wish that there was some events happening over there. You know, I hope that since the rumor is that London is going to move their things to Charlotte, is that what I said? Is that what I read? That is a rumor.
Starting point is 00:38:55 If that's what they're doing, then you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to throw an event in London. Yes. Yes. Why? Yes. You know what I'm saying? Yes.
Starting point is 00:39:03 Think about that. Imagine the London crowd. I mean, a lot of them already root for the Green Wall, but. Like, how are we not having a event? Oh, my God. Thank you. That's all right. They're fucking chanting.
Starting point is 00:39:16 Those are my people. Love me. Sorry my people. They love it. They're hammered at 11 a.m. Fuck yeah. When they stack the cups and shit, I'm like, no shot you drank all those.
Starting point is 00:39:29 They try to get me to do a chug test, but once the bubbles get in this area, I'm, as a player, you're scared of them to that crowd. Because if that crowd gets on your ass, you're like, no, not them. Not them. What's up, Zin? You can't buy it. Like, they're just fucking ruthless. They got crazy chance and shit.
Starting point is 00:39:47 What do we think of Zindi? Shit. I'd be like, no. Not this one. Goes viral. That's good. That's good. I don't know why we have Barbie versus Oppenheimer box office battle kicks off next week.
Starting point is 00:40:02 What are you all watching? Barbie or open up? I can tell you that I'm never watching Barbie ever. And if you fucking buy that on my account, that will be the day that I changed the password on that account. It's Margo Robbie and Ryan Gossel. Careful. All right.
Starting point is 00:40:21 So you're going to watch a new Barbie? Are these all people in it? Yeah. Apparently, I'm assuming. They do have a star-studded cast. Yeah, I'm going to watch it just to watch it. But Oppenheimer is going to be, I mean, you have. Openheimer will be bought.
Starting point is 00:40:34 Look at that, dude. On my account. R.D.J. Matt Damon, Emily Blunt. When does that come out? Cillian Murphy? Same day. You know what that is? 721?
Starting point is 00:40:41 Hell yeah. Thomas. fucking Shelby. Thomas fucking Shelby. And what's his name? Wedding Day. And Scarryl, that's right. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:47 No, I'm seeing this movie. Apparently, uh, like when people were watching the original or initial screenings of this, people are like leaving the theater because they couldn't like, they couldn't handle it. Yeah. Well, I heard it. Are the official reviews? Wait, real quick. They use zero CGI.
Starting point is 00:41:04 There is zero CGI in the movie. Everything like like the explosions and stuff. They make like mini models. They use like camera angles to make it look like real size. because Christopher Nolan's like against CGI he's like we're gonna make like a legitimate movie without anything Christopher Nolan's against CGI I can you bring up a list of movies
Starting point is 00:41:21 that Christopher Nolan has fucking worked on so that I can disprove that sentiment immediately maybe I'm not okay you may have repeated it from somewhere else interstellar is not CGI you think they actually went near the black hole all right listen how did it how did it make them so old
Starting point is 00:41:38 okay well time it's so okay I was I guess I was wrong about that But I do know that they do not use CGI. Like look up. That I know. That I know and I agree. I did read that also. That's what I thought the reason was.
Starting point is 00:41:51 I could have read it somewhere. I saw it on TikTok. When you say Christopher Nolan, I'm like, get the fuck out of the time. Let me just prove this thing right here. But I can see why you would have thought that. Wait, let's see his track record again. Go back and watch. He's got a beautiful.
Starting point is 00:42:02 Yeah. The Dark Night. Inception. Dunkirk. Dunkirk. It was that Don Kirk was extremely good because it was, I think it was like a one-shot film. He's got the. prestige?
Starting point is 00:42:12 Yeah. Wait, he's Memento too? There's no way he's Memento. Yes, it is. The main guy in Memento? No, he's not the main guy in Memento. He's the...
Starting point is 00:42:21 Yeah, is Memento like Scorsese or, uh, what's his name? Am I tripping? Can we see who made Memento? I could have swore. I didn't know what Christopher Nolan if it was. Christopher Nolan, dude. Damn, all right. Yeah, go back.
Starting point is 00:42:34 Yeah, this guy's the fucking Goliath. Yeah. Look at it. Batman, Super Bowl, Justice League, Inception. And then, by the way, the Justice League, four hour on cut movie where it's on on on the square frame what what do you call that riley the square the four by three no no they they did they cut it's just a square it's a literal square is it but what but what is it i max is like uh four by three things i was right uh okay
Starting point is 00:43:02 well it's like 1280 by it is it is so good bro it is so i sat there for four hours watched the whole thing and i'm like this is better than the fucking original it was better than the original Not a inception, for God's sake. I mean, Jesus. Yeah, he's a damn. Yeah. He's got them all. Interstellar, one of the greatest movie ever made.
Starting point is 00:43:19 Fuck Maven for thinking otherwise. Chiching. I think Oppenheimer is probably the biggest movie this year probably. Based on, like, cast and like hype. Openheimer's got to be the biggest movie. I mean, actually, Barbie might outdo it in the box office. Just because, just because it's Barbie movie about. It's Barbie.
Starting point is 00:43:38 It's about Barbie. Oh, really? And Margo Roberts. Bobby plays Barbie and Gosling is Ken, which is like Barbie's wife or husband or boyfriend, whatever. So they have like a, you know, Barbie. No, I do. I used to undress him under the fucking, under the bed. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:54 Huh? Lift the, here. What? What the. What the fuck? He's like, what? What? No, do tell it.
Starting point is 00:44:03 Do tell the story. What did you just do? No. Listen. What did you just do? What did? Mind your business. Dude, he did.
Starting point is 00:44:10 Cue. Cue. video when he confessed that to me and formal what during hunting for what play with Barbies under the bed when I was very young I was curious I know and I was undressing him and undressing himself simultaneously do Jesus man come on now I was like five but listen I know that Barbie is going to fucking do great because I know like I heard my nieces talking about going and I'm like in my head I'm like this just like
Starting point is 00:44:41 one of those things I'm never going to watch. So to hear you say that you're going to go and watch so that you can relive your shot childhood. Well, this is the first. Whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm going to be forced to watch it by his. Well, hold on. And so a lot of people have plans to see both in the same day
Starting point is 00:44:56 because they premiere on the same day. So like this is like the- Dude, they're going to bring their kids from the Barbie to Oppenheimer? I think they set the record for like consecutive movies booked where it's like people have booked both movies in the same day. They just have like a long-ass movie day. Now, the question is, I'm going to say this. I regret not going to the movie theater to watch Maverick.
Starting point is 00:45:23 Okay. It was an excellent experience in my theater. But, but I am wondering what I'm going to do with Openheimer. Are you going? I don't know. If you go, I might have to go. You have to for like the fan element. Like, imagine watching Avengers end game.
Starting point is 00:45:40 Where do you see it? theater or the movie theater my theater oh no man yeah people are have you watched the movie in my theater yeah no you have not yes i have well nothing see when i stole the cookies nothing this is the upgrade anyway long story short long story short i think i might have to get a new projector i got to say i have the same one as you that we got at the same time no but that's five years ago we got we got we got upgrade your shit shoots like a really like it's clear oh yeah oh yeah you can read so is mine it's just as clear is just is just 3 000 more
Starting point is 00:46:14 or I don't know what reason. What? My one was three thousand more? How much was the new one? Five grand. How much was the one? Before that? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:22 It was one of those things where you, where teachers put the, the clear sheet on it. Yeah. I missed those. Those are fun. That used to roll in, you're like,
Starting point is 00:46:31 yes, sleep. Sleep? Head down. So I think I am going to go see Oppenheimer in theaters personally. You let me know. I will. I will, because,
Starting point is 00:46:41 oh, man. We should go, we should see it. actually. For huge movies like that, you need like the fan experience. Now we're talking. I agree. Make it a day.
Starting point is 00:46:52 Then we watch Barbie too. No. You had me until Barbie. It's just not my thing. Not my thing. Are you going to watch Barbie? Why would I watch Barbie? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:47:04 I'm just asking because he has. Why wouldn't you? I'm not a movie guy anyway, so there's definitely no reason. You got to watch Open Honey. Why am I going to? I mean, I can watch that, but not Barbie. I'm just joking around for the pod, man. I mean, I'd watch it.
Starting point is 00:47:15 Fuck it. I mean, I don't care. You're going to watch Barbie. They're going to watch Barbie. If I see that shit bought on my account, that will be the day. Yo, let me get on that account. Too bad. Let me get on that login.
Starting point is 00:47:26 You can have his place. There's only three people can have it. Is that what it is? Is there already a debit card link on there? Oh, yeah. Wait, wait. But you don't know? The rule is don't rent movies.
Starting point is 00:47:36 He only buy a dude. I've never seen something like this. If he opened his Apple TV at his house, he's logged in his account with his account with his. card and he just buys movies like it's his. No way. There's 20,000 or 20,000 movies. Dude, okay.
Starting point is 00:47:51 Relax. Relax. An overwhelming majority of the movies bought are him buying them. I buy like one movie every couple months. $20 purchase. And I'm buying like the bundle ones. I'm buying like Donnie Darko. It's like $5 to buy.
Starting point is 00:48:06 No, no, no. Which he needed in his collection. I don't want to bring up the receipts, okay, but. Yeah, I bought trolls. You keep track. Yeah, because I'm like, I'm like, I'll even record it. I'm like, I didn't buy Singh. I bought Sing One and Sing Two and they were amazing.
Starting point is 00:48:21 I'm sure Liv has watched it and I'm sure she loved it. They have, they have their own account where all the kids shit goes. Okay. But I'm sure. That just seems like a missed opportunity because now you're double dipping for no reason. You already have the movie on your account. I'm sure half the movies that you guys purchased are like free on like different platforms. I'm sure sings on Disney Plus for free.
Starting point is 00:48:39 Well, now. When it first came out? Oh, you're saying that when they first drop it. Like tonight. I'm going to go home and I'm going to buy Guardians of the Galaxy 3. It's already bought. Okay, then I'm getting it. And it is.
Starting point is 00:48:48 Okay, I am buying fever. I'm going to buy. What's another movie that just came out that I want to watch? You don't have the logger that. What's out? What did you get everybody? What else just do you know? No, it's just like.
Starting point is 00:49:00 I don't want to see this. How much a week? How much a week? I don't know. But I will wake up someday and see some of Spider-Man. Transformers? I'm going to go home and watch or buy Transformers. Come on. Rise of the Beasts.
Starting point is 00:49:10 Dog shit. That was good? No. Come on, man. Once everybody has seen it, I'll talk about it more. It's like... Wait, you went to the theaters to watch it or you just came out? Yeah, theaters.
Starting point is 00:49:20 Bro, listen, I haven't watched... I haven't enjoyed a Transformer movie since, like, number... Since Shilipov was there. The second that Shilipov stepped away, I stopped watching them. Because every single one after that was so fucking dumb and repetitive. And I used to be a massive, massive, massive, massive, massive fan of those toys growing up. Didn't have a single one of them, but I've never seen them in a booklet. I love Transformers like the world.
Starting point is 00:49:45 I really wish they could make some good films. G.I. Joe? Like, why the fuck? Where's that movie at? Well, you know what I mean? I am surprised that no one's made a fucking Thundercats movie. Best cartoon for a kid ever.
Starting point is 00:49:58 Broaning Warriors. I think G.I. Joe's coming out soon, actually. The new one? Yeah. There's been several. Has there been G. Yeah, yeah. For sure.
Starting point is 00:50:06 I like them. But I will say, sorry, on the topic. On the topic. Guardians of the Galilee. Galaxy 3 might be my favorite out of all of the Marvel movies. So I have to watch it. Dude, it is so emotionally fucking good. It is beyond good.
Starting point is 00:50:25 Well, there hasn't been a bad guardians. All of them. Okay, well, this one, I think I watched, is that one? Wow. I don't want to sound like. I watched the last movie I watched in the theater was something with, it was like a gorilla and a, I forgot what it was. It was.
Starting point is 00:50:41 King Kong? King Kong versus Godzilla? Maybe it was. What a movie. That movie's great too. Was Mecca Godzilla in it? The robot? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:50:50 I don't remember. He got a Coke chat. But I know it was pretty good. That movie went crazy. Those movies are actually, those movies have been good. People get mad when I make jokes. There's a new Godzilla comes out. I think next year.
Starting point is 00:51:00 They make good Tong movies. Yeah. Have you seen like the timeline for new movies coming out? No. Next year is like fucking insane. Oh, it's like just bangers. Like Avatar, Godzilla. Like it's,
Starting point is 00:51:11 Another Avatar? I haven't even watched the second one. You gotta watch the second. I started to. The Toon. I haven't seen the first one. The first one was good. The second one I was just like, all right, here we go.
Starting point is 00:51:19 Look at this shit. One little Kung Fu Panda 4 watching that. Deadpool Tree watching that. Deadpool 3 is going to be great. Hugh Jackman. Dude. Inside Out two, not for me. Lord of the Rings.
Starting point is 00:51:30 Fantastic Beasts. Snow White. The karate kid? I watched that. Godzilla X. X. Kong. Dude. Transformers again.
Starting point is 00:51:38 Spider Man. Beyond the Spiderverse movie. Oh, wait. Didn't Beyond the Spider-Verse just come out? No, I think that was into the Spider-Verse. That's like the animated one. This is the one with Tom Holland. Oh.
Starting point is 00:51:50 Oh, never mind. Oh, okay. There is one out right now. Well, yeah, there's two of the animated ones. No, but that is the second part of the second. Oh, is it? Yeah. Apparently Tom Holland hasn't shot a new Spider-Man film since like he hasn't.
Starting point is 00:52:06 Oh, I thought that was the-ray. Wait, when's Dune coming out? That's what I want to know. Is Dune next year also? This November for Dune. Dude, I cannot wait. I love that. I may live and Jude watch it for the first time they liked it.
Starting point is 00:52:18 I'm not going to say it. What you didn't like it? I was just boring. I was like, what am I was like, what's the point of this movie? But then I found out it's a setup pretty much for the whole movie is basically just a setup for like the big second one. Yeah. Is what I found out. I don't want to see the previews.
Starting point is 00:52:33 Really? Mm-hmm. That's weird. Because they ruin it. November 3rd. Damn, that's right. Okay, thank you. Doesn't the new cod release November 2?
Starting point is 00:52:42 So we go from Dune to To Colla Duty? Sure. Sure. Dude, man, I haven't played video. I swear, I haven't played video games in like three, four months maybe. So lame of you. Yeah, I wish I had time to be a creator.
