Watch this.
You're dead.
Oh, I got a re-up.
Oh, I got a re-up again.
Is that Ballarat?
Left click.
Right click.
Hello, everyone.
It's the Optic podcast, your favorite podcast that you watch weekly and listen to on your drive to work.
This episode is 44.
How are you guys doing?
Feeling good.
Yeah?
You just said you were done with Valerant?
For now, yeah.
Why?
I'm so burnt down on it.
So you're going to stop before you hit radio?
Radio? Is that in the name?
Well, he's jealous that Bruce hit it first.
I'm jealous of me trying to catch him.
I'm just going to quit.
That's what I'm going to do instead.
I remember I was laying on my couch at like midnight one night.
I just got done streaming.
And Matt, I tune into Matt when he's playing Val all the time.
And he was a Mortal 3 the night before.
So I went into check out, like, where he was at?
Just a fool just spiraled down.
He was like, Immortal 1, Zero rank points.
was two games off Radiant. I went down to Diamond 3,
9 points, which is like such a collapse.
And I said, you're teetering. Like, he was one
loss from going back into Diamond, and now he's
back in Diamond. Yeah, Diamond 2. It's kind of
fuck that Bruce went on without you, isn't it?
I feel like Matt tried to go on without
Bruce. Because they
were together. And he just failed. I mean, like,
every time we played together, honestly, like, it was
like really shitty games. Really?
For whatever reason, yeah. We would have, like, the worst, like,
views. Are you guys going to
streaming? Sometimes.
Could have had something to do
with it? Maybe, but. I'm just burnt
time in the game. Yeah.
That's how you are though. You, I mean, same thing, same thing with Wow.
Same thing with Val. You'll find, you'll find a game that you like really like and then you'll
just play it into the ground. Pretty much. So now's war zone time? Yeah, I guess. Welcome back.
You're going to, you're going to have a blast. You're going to have so much fun day one.
Are you being serious? No. Day one is. Well, day one is. Well, day, no, day one, you'll have fun because
because your skill base will be really low because you haven't played in a while. After that, I
I mean, two days ago, we played eight games.
We had hackers in six of them.
See, that's...
It's good excuses, though.
Why aren't you winning any games when we're getting hacked on?
Well, the stream, they don't always...
What if a new viewer comes in?
And they're like, do you have any wins today?
And you're like, no.
And they're...
What are you going to give them all spiel every time?
Yes.
There was hackers in 75% of our games.
How is it still that bad?
So bad.
Well, we're at the highest skill base.
You get banned if you get hacked?
Ooh.
Huh?
Do you get banned if you have on stream?
Yes.
Why isn't there any streamers that are tracking?
Because they'll get banned.
If they get caught.
Have you, wait.
I've yet to be caught.
You have yet to be caught hacking?
There's fucking, you know, there's an entire Reddit.
Have you seen that Reddit?
It's called Streamers caught cheating.
You know, I've been staying away from Reddit every since the season last year.
Is it all just like 10 viewers?
It's just a cesspool of just fucking people arguing and yelling through their keyboards.
It's so weird.
Have you seen that, Matt?
dude is it just like 10 viewer or like like low view streams no that are getting caught or is it like
someone with like 150 no it's not they're accusing they're accusing people oh it was like a clip
I thought you meant they were there was a clip of Merck there was a clip of uh of Priesta and it's just
of Merck yeah and it's just like it's just like them shooting like Joey D's cheating just like
good shots yeah it's just like them shooting and then they're like and then they're like
They slow it down to like 0.5% and they look at like how their recoil works.
That's the dumbest thing I've ever seen.
Yeah.
I think they're so smart.
Yep.
Z lander added again.
If you go to minute 326 and slow the kill down to 0.25, the aim bot is so snappy and stops exactly in the enemy.
Watch the cross hair.
It's painfully obvious.
He's cheating.
If your favorite streamers are not on Windows 11 by next month, they might just be high-excited.
Like, come on, bro.
Wait, look at the next one.
Scum's thoughts on accusations.
There, look.
I made the news.
You're right there.
You're right there.
I made the news.
If some of you really think the CDL pro will cheat on war zone, you're just stupid.
Wait, hit the comments.
Hit the comments.
Matt, I want to see what people say.
Yeah, okay.
So, I mean, some people are defending you.
I mean, both of these guys are.
Yeah.
There are a lot of trolls on here that come from Propetive Cod.
Holy shit.
As long as money is to be made.
games and there will be cheaters.
Lance Armstrong was able to fool the entire
one for you.
Go on, man.
I've been playing for how long
11 years now?
If I was cheating, I think it would have
came out by now.
Maybe you're just really good at hiding it.
Yeah, I don't know.
And it's like, Lance probably went
11 years without.
But the thing with Lance
getting away with the championship,
12, 13?
The thing with him is they were all cheating.
It's just so absurd, bro.
That's so good.
It just makes me like, it honestly like warms my heart a little bit.
That's like those, now those kids on Twitter that I was just like, fuck, fuck those kids or fuck those kids on Reddit.
Now they're like all have, now they like all have their own subreddit and they're like, you know, swag's cheating or like fucking Z-Layner's cheating.
And then everyone else is just like, yeah, he is.
It just doesn't make sense, bro.
It's so good.
It's weird because they're not even trolling.
Like they actually
Did you see
I saw like a Twitter clip
Or something of Cloaksie
Was like I don't know if he was interviewing a cheater
But he was like talking to him
And then the guy was like no
You cannot convince me
Oh that was Joe
Yeah yeah it was Joe whoa
He got into a
A lobby with a hacker
And the hacker was like
You can't convince me
That Huskers doesn't cheat
Yeah yeah yeah
If you watch Huskers
He doesn't have recoil
It's like, well, he's pulling down.
And he was like, I can guarantee you.
He is not cheating, you idiot.
Yeah.
So that guy just sees Huskers shoot once and it doesn't recoil because he's on 120
FOV and good with a mouse.
And then he's like, I need to cheat now.
And then every time somebody talks shit to him, he already has that excuse in the
back of his mind.
Well, Huskers cheats.
It's just such a weird thing.
It really is.
But let's start with the topics.
That was a little bit of a, you know, out of the blue time.
We got Apathy Retires. What a career for Brian. What's his last name? Zazakai Lov.
I can't say his last name. I don't even know. I didn't even know he had a last name.
Yeah. It's a hard one. But congrats to Brian on a great career. Good dude. Yeah. I've known him for a long time.
See top 25. One of the best dudes in Cod in my name. He's got two rings.
See top 25? Yeah. Cod of all time. It's crazy. I was on the flank with him and and Tommy was
like so how many how many wins did you did you have like tournament wins and he said seven so two of
his seven wins and rings i thought that was crazy that's a that's a that's pretty that's pretty
damn impressive yeah did you say he's top 25 sub ball is he top 25 is he top 15 probably probably
yeah for sure yeah he was he was a fucking beast i remember especially in ghosts watching him move
around and ghost his p ov was like like no one else's yeah if you saw his p ov like when he was like
crying, you'd be like, that's apathy.
You know what I'm saying?
Really? Just running around shit?
Just like, yeah, just going berserk.
Just going berserk.
Just going berserk.
He was pretty crap.
He was doing a whole bunch of shit.
Like, at this, that one.
Watching, like, Nato and
apathy in, in Ghosts.
That was good team.
At, like, Snotter was good at Ghost, was I?
He beat them at champs.
He was nuts.
He dealt with you.
Just,
after formal came up backstage,
now is your chance to play me.
I looked at him like,
oh, fuck.
Dude, I've heard that.
That sentence like 18.
I was like, all right, let's go.
You're doing the Zinny with that.
Am I recycling?
She has hard.
I'm lucky.
Yeah, congrats to Brian.
I'm sure that he's going to...
You're doing the Ziti with that.
I'm sure that he's going to kill it.
Whatever he chooses next.
I believe he chose content.
Yeah.
Which I'm sure he will dominate.
Yeah.
Yeah, he's one of the...
It's like him and Octane are like two people that come to mind when it's like,
those guys are good at content when it comes to like pro players.
being good at content so good luck right yeah just the way you said that yeah i just like there's some
other good ones like priest is pretty good yeah attach attach there's a lot of you know good
good cons and crazy a lot of people like like you know once they retire they're not going to go like
straight into coaching or straight into like casting yeah like they're going to give it a shot yeah
you gotta hold on what we've got i'm sorry my brain just went straight to that
nothing going on.
Bing bong, Bing bong.
Nick Merck's
Resigns with Twitch.
Did you see that video?
Thank God.
I don't think.
It was fucking sick.
So what did the plaque mean?
What if it's like resigned?
Is he have 4 million subs on Twitter or on YouTube?
Because it was like IV, which is 4, right?
And then it said M.
So I'm assuming he has 4 million subs on YouTube.
And then he like looks at that and like teases YouTube and then goes and picks up the sword
that has Twitch.
See, I didn't even get that.
Well,
I just thought...
In numerals.
He's in Rome and the Coliseum.
Jesus.
So far behind.
And no, it makes sense now.
I didn't get that part.
I just like the music.
It was like,
when he pulled out the fucking sword here.
Yeah,
I haven't seen it.
Was that him in the suit?
No,
it's CGI.
Play the video so I can see it.
You don't think that was him?
After hearing that,
I need to see the video.
I want to see how not believable it is
that he's in the suit.
Yeah.
It kind of looks like him.
See, that's 4 million.
Oh, shit.
And then he looks at the sword.
And he looks at the sword and he's like, oh, it's Twitch time.
That's him in the suit, bro.
You think so?
Yeah.
Bro, people probably saw that.
We're like, no, YouTube, no.
That's so good.
That's him, bro.
Yes.
Literally Russell Crow.
Dude, that was either him or Russell.
That's either him or Russell.
That's either him or Russell, bro, and I'm going with him.
That's dope.
But yeah, that's big.
Big news for Twitch.
You know, they've been losing people, so.
Yeah.
They've been losing a lot of the top guys.
They held on to one of them.
One of the big top guys.
Apparently, it's the biggest deal in gaming history.
Really?
It's what I've heard.
I mean, I don't know the numbers.
But that's just what fucking...
Damn.
Ninja and mixer?
That's the first thing that came to mind.
The first thing that came to mind for me was Doc.
Because when Doc signed a Twitch,
which it was like the biggest thing.
And I think the rumor number was like
eight digits.
So then the ninja thing
happened. What a ninja
did it? Ninja got 30
something?
30, bro. That was the freest bag.
Would you play Valour? Would you play Val for the rest of your days?
Yeah, would. Just sit there, just play Valorant just all day
every day. I'd be wearing Valerant merch.
I'd have a Valerant wall.
It'd be all for it.
I'm cosplaying as a lot.
man.
Imagine.
That'd be hilarious.
That would be so funny, bro.
That would be fucking.
Oh, man.
Do you want to...
Speaking of Twitch,
Mr. 8-mill over here.
Guys, guys.
I need to fill out some paperwork.
You let me know, Twitch.
Wait, what happened?
The original list I got leaks that I made 8-mill.
I was like, hold on.
Wait, really?
Did it actually?
I forget to fill out some papers.
The original one that leaked, yeah.
It said, it was like,
but the numbers were...
You're just first?
No, the numbers were like stupid.
The numbers were like...
Was it just wrong for everyone?
That's so weird.
Maybe it's a different formal?
It said someone like, excuse...
No, it was like formal all caps.
It was all caps.
It was right above Learke and I was like, yeah, that's what I'm supposed to...
That's right.
I was like, that seems right.
Listen, if I need this feels something out.
But there were some people that...
There were some people on that original list that had like,
like 32 million that they had made
like shit like that and I was
looking at the original list and everyone was freaking out
about it and I was like that shit's not right
oh that was wrong yeah but then the real list came out
can you just figure that out by yourself
the thing yeah that's what blew my mind it's like
everyone was so shocked public counts
or public sub counts are
sub counts are public they've always been public
so it's like
you just times it by four or times by three and a half
obviously you can't add up like the ads that are played
or like bits.
You can just get like a rough estimate.
But like.
In the first 10 seconds.
Yeah.
I didn't know this was any news.
Yeah.
Do people on Twitter were like, yeah.
I figured everyone just looked at your sub count like multiply it by 3.5.
People on Twitter were like I can't, I can't believe this.
And I was like, how can't you believe this?
He's had 50,000 subs for fucking three years.
What do you mean?
This is before like people started signing too, right?
Because it was the end of.
Well, yeah, that's also something that people would not be able to know unless it came out.
Yeah.
Well, this is the.
end of like 20 well I guess people people started signing in 2020 yeah so yeah
this is the end of 20 maybe maybe 2019 like the end of it oh I mean maybe it was on 20 20 20
because that's it all like people like people that are like signed but which is only like 10 people
there's not a lot of you guys see I said you guys no there's a lot of people are there yeah
I'm there's like a good amount of pretty it's not just like I thought it was only like a few
I thought it was like 10 no there's no way it's only 10
Really?
No.
There's so many massive streamers that I've never heard of.
Yeah.
Think about all the games that there are.
Think about all like,
there's big creators in every single category.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean,
I guess.
I'd say there's probably like 50 to 100.
Maybe.
50 people signed?
I would say, yeah.
They're not all fucking multi-million dollar deals.
Well,
I thought those were the only ones they were signing.
I thought they were only signing,
like exclusivity and everyone else
to just give partner. I thought that's how
they're signing people just so they don't go to YouTube.
Yeah, probably.
That's like how it started. Makes sense.
Because you know, well, Mixer started signing people and then Twitch
was like, wait, we should probably sign people too.
Yeah, there's a lot of people signed.
That's dope. I didn't know that.
I think. I'm just assuming.
Yeah. Because I'm signed and I'm not like
that big of a creator.
I'm not.
True. Yeah.
I average like, I average like, what, five, eight,
thousand viewers probably about
I'm not saying I'm not saying I'm small
I'm not saying I'm small but I'm not like one of the biggest
creator I'm humble I hear what you're saying I'm
you're humble okay you guys are assholes like
wait do you know who critical role is did you guys
yeah the dn dn.I people I had no idea who they were
yeah I remember watching the dragon comes in from the north
it blows down your village
Take three points.
A gifted, a hundred gifted bomb.
Three coins to you.
I don't know how that game works.
It's all imagination.
A idiot, bro, I'm just trolling.
A Yet he comes from the gold north.
I bet you have never played D&D?
I'm very surprised.
I didn't know what D&D meant.
I don't even know how that works.
I heard it's all that.
Isn't that like a board game?
Yeah, it's imagination.
It's like imagination.
So every game could be different.
That's so nerdy.
You have like a narrator.
What'd you say?
You have like, apparently you have like a narrator?
No.
I've never played it.
I've just been explaining.
Sounds so nerdy.
I mean, yeah.
Video games are nerdy.
Wait, how's it work?
So it's like you play a video game.
And so there's a narrator and he's like, uh,
and like that's who controls the game.
And they have like a book.
I keep doing this.
They have like a book.
Dude,
I bet you there are people raging in the comments right now because I don't know what I'm
talking about.
Yeah.
You're for sure.
There's a narrator.
There's a book.
I don't know.
But apparently like, he'll be like,
a headmaster.
He'll be like,
you could either go to farm wheat
or go fight a dragon,
roll the dice,
and if it's above five,
then you go fight the dragon.
Yeah,
that sounds.
And if you're not equipped,
to be honest.
And it would probably be dope.
If you're not equipped,
you get eight.
It would probably be dope.
I bet you there is it.
I'm down.
Might be a fun junk game.
Yeah.
A lot of people,
I'm pretty sure there's probably
drinking games
that you can play while doing it.
Imagine if you ever roll under a,
if you ever roll under a three,
you have to drink.
Drink.
That's like the only rule.
If it ever hits three,
you don't,
no one proceeds in the game,
everyone just drinks.
That'd be lit.
And it's like a nine-sided die.
Service was just fucking slashed.
That would be fun of.
I gotta go fight dragons.
Do you think they play that in Nirvana over there?
Yeah.
Yeah,
absolutely.
100%.
Have you ever played a show?
Just show up.
We show up one to join in.
A keg.
It's probably the main hit.
Have you all ever played a video game or a board game that is like more intense in Monopoly?
Like I feel like Monopoly is like the hardest that it gets for like regular board games and then it gets to like the nerdy stuff.
No.
You ever played like Risk?
That's a pretty try hard game.
Is it?
Sorry.
Oh yeah.
I still feel like those are.
Battleship.
Shoots and ladders?
I hate shoots and ladders.
Tritigo.
Candyland.
see i was thinking like andyland's pretty
into all the pieces were sticky and like
you're like i don't remember a shit from dandelion dude
i only ever played those no i was even trying to make like that
i only ever played that like a daycare
and every old piece of like fucking bitten off and like half chewed and i'm just like dude
you just like this yeah
who's biting off the heads of these things
like three
i've always wanted i've always wanted to try one of those video games like the
settlers of katan have you ever heard of that oh yeah my parents
actually put that really
They actually say it's, wait, that's a game that's probably way, it's probably the most try hard board game that you've played.
I've played it once, but I don't really understand it, but it seems really fucking try hard.
Apparently, that's like the intro to like big games.
Like if you want to, if you want to play those, like, if you go to Nerdbonne and look at the wall of like, like, like, board games that they have.
I mean, there's like 900 rules and it's like super fucking intense.
Yeah.
And like, apparently settlers are of Katan.
It's like the intro if you're trying to go.
And you're trying to get into that.
You're trying to get, like, deep into fucking, four games.
And lore.
But apparently, a game's really fun.
I'm sure.
I wouldn't try it.
If you have a good game night that I've never been invited to.
Okay, what happened to game nights?
What happened to poker?
Yeah, what happened to poker?
That's on the feed.
Yeah.
That's a better question.
Came back, took the dove.
Yes.
Because game nights at our house, you know, like, it's messy poker.
We just go there and have a few drinks.
We throw our shit in the trash.
We leave.
My house gets trashed.
Really?
I know.
You guys leave Jack in the box, fucking.
You keep saying you guys, I never going to mind.
You guys.
Because I just spend all my time outside with Buzz.
Everyone that comes, there's always McDonald's or Zlot or fucking.
I mean, you're a host.
I know.
And I'm always the host, which is the problem.
Dude, you guys fucked up by not going to, not going out for his birthday.
That shit was fun.
We went to a karaoke bar or a, we went to a bar where it's like dueling pianos and they just play songs and like everyone sings.
I think I saw a video of all of you singing.
She was so long.
It's the only time I've ever gone out.
You guys look pretty fucked out.
They're all just singing.
Yeah, you guys are pretty fucking.
We were fucked up.
Singing like belt like.
Yes.
And at one time, Paige, she was just screaming.
She wasn't singing.
She was just screaming the words.
Yeah, the people in there hated us.
Did they?
For sure.
Were you guys the only obnoxious group?
Just fucking.
No.
Every group there was like a group of college kids in front of us, like 10 of them that
were doing the same thing.
Yeah. Where'd y'all go?
Doing piano.
I don't know with the name of it.
But we went to like a bar and then they're like, this bar is like, nah.
And then we went to that place and I was like, oh shit, that shit's fun.
And I was sober the whole time.
I didn't drink.
And it was still fun, right?
And it was still fun.
Holy shit.
He was so scarred from L.A.
Yeah.
He was right after L.A.
Bro, that shit was.
Yeah.
How did you feel the other night?
You drank like a, uh, when we were for the October Fest?
Yeah.
It was good.
But we were also.
playing faking it dude that shit is oh i'm still mad about that dude that shit is so fun dude that
shit is so fun we're gonna like among us yeah we're gonna do that for a cod video we were talking
about it i don't know so it's like it's like basically it's like this uh jackbox game have you
ever play like a jackbox game like when you fucking wind it up then that's jack in the box
uh so like there's there's this game where basically there's like an imposter you look on your phone
and your phone tells you if you're the imposter or not.
And then for everyone else, it'll say, like,
point to whoever, you know, is the cleanest.
So everyone would point to you.
And then if Matt's the imposter, he doesn't,
he just says point to someone random.
So if Matt pointed to Nick,
we would all be like, well, it's Matt.
Because I wouldn't see that.
Because Seth is definitely the cleanest.
And Nick stinks.
And Nick is dirty.
But if he's pointing at me,
like he would have to explain like, no, like, no,
trust.
Nick smells so good.
Why would the guy not?
Nick actually cleaned his shit up.
You have to like defend yourself like
as much as possible.
That shit is so fun.
I could see Matt.
Being good at bullshitting in that game.
Everyone says that.
There's something about you.
It literally fits your personality perfect.
You just get angry.
Dude, I fucking promise you.
Nick is clean.
But then they're like, all right, we believe you.
And then it turns out you're the imposter.
And you're just,
But if everyone's turning on you and you get, that's the one I get frustrated.
Everyone was turning on me.
They were like, it's hitch, it's hitch.
And I knew it was Roger.
And he was, I was like, oh my God.
And Roger felt so good.
And I'm like, you guys are, it's him.
I fucking promise.
Bro, Roger felt so good after you was.
The other night, it just like spontaneously happened.
Thanks.
Yeah.
I deserved that.
How many people were there?
It was just like us.
It was like.
like eight of them six seven I was playing that home just hearing the background I was just
like what are they playing losing absolute composure on vow there's a couple times we got
really loud and I was like I bet you Matt's fucking mad like furious trust me you are the
reason I was he's giving up all he's back to D2 he's the same rank as me and I haven't
and he hasn't played in four months three months do you miss it no it's fun it's fun it's
Like, it's a fun game.
Yeah.
I don't know.
It's fun if you're playing like with people.
When you're solo queuing, it's not fun.
Yeah, that's horrible.
Yeah.
Do you think there's a world where both Val and CS still exist?
Like, they're both big, huge esports?
Are we living in there right now?
Yeah.
I don't know.
I mean, CS is kind of like tapered off, but like it's still a big eastport.
It's still huge.
Okay.
I haven't been watching.
I've actually started watching Val.
Now it's definitely bigger now, I think.
Is it?
It has to be, right?
It has to be.
Maybe.
Until, who was it right?
I mean, you look at the Valoran, you look at the Val like Twitch section and there's just like always 100,000 people watching.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
20?
I mean, I can look right now.
Holy shit.
What's it usually at?
I mean, whenever I used to watch CS, it was like always in the hundreds.
Oh, let's see.
Like, at least 80.
80 to 100.
That's crazy.
Yeah, Balleran's got 110 right now.
CS has 200k, but there's probably an event going on.
Yeah, there's an event going on.
Oh, okay. Yeah, 60, I mean, 67 people. Yeah. So I guess we're living in that world right now.
CS is definitely still a big game. But I would say Valoran is still bigger than CS.
Yeah, that's, that's really dope. I mean, I've actually been watching it because I kind of stayed away from Val for a little bit because I was like, I don't know if it's going to like get traction.
Yeah. Their official like league hasn't even started yet. Like the riot league or whatever.
Yeah.
They haven't even started yet.
Is your food here?
Yeah, it's about to be.
But you know what I'm saying?
Like these are like third party
people running the tournaments there right now.
Like, oh shit, really?
For a vow?
Pretty sure.
Isn't it?
No.
It's Ryan had their league?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
Like, I don't know who's running it, but it's like official.
Is it?
Yeah, it's official.
Oh, then maybe I'm, yeah, then I'm wrong then.
I thought Riot was like going to have a league and go crazy with it.
But imagine, imagine like, before all this,
exclusivity stuff if like MLG threw an event and there was a CS and Val at the same event.
I mean, that shit will never happen.
But like, that's how it used to be back in the day with Cod and Halo.
That would never happen again.
I don't think.
I think those days are like just done.
Those days are over.
Yeah, they're over.
Unless somebody, I've thought about this, unless someone does it for charity.
Unless someone throws a huge event and it's just strictly like strictly for charity.
Like an MLG event?
Yeah.
But like that's the only way you can intertwine like,
games like that. Like Pax does it.
Because Pax does it, they
do like a smash tournament and a Rocket League
tournament was there at the same time. But like
it'll never happen with like
with like how PlayStation or
like how PlayStation has caught on lock.
Yeah. Everything's
too tied up nowadays.
Like just with company. Yeah, you're right.
To me fucking white people and suits came in, man.
It ruined it all. Yeah.
It's crazy, bro.
Hey, we live those days though.
We got to live. I feel bad for everyone that didn't get
Right.
Those glory days.
The MLG, Anaheim 2014 was my, it'll be, it'll be my favorite event forever because
there will never be, it'll never happen again.
It was like my two favorite games were happening literally right beside each other.
Was that smash?
Yeah.
Like, melee was here and it was in top, it was a top eight, like top three actually.
And you guys were playing fucking EG over here at the same time.
Really?
And I was standing in the middle.
You're just nerd gasming.
Just watching both.
Just loving it.
fog and then there was
and then there was
StarCraft over there
I didn't watch that but I watched that
StarCraft was kind of lit really it was
StarCraft was bigger than
every other game at that time
yeah that was like he that was like the big streamer right
Idra and he played
Idra Huck I don't remember the races
he played Zerg
Zerg
and you had like Huck
the Mosul
Holy shit
What? I haven't heard those names in so long.
I was actually like a fan.
Like I would watch StarCraft.
What was the guy's name?
In control?
In control.
The big guy?
The bigger guy?
Yeah.
It was cool.
He was cool.
But yeah, there's so many like, that game was popping.
I played the show that.
Cannon Rush.
Yeah, bro.
Now it's like, now the skill gap in that game is just so overly.
Yeah.
It's like the kids are just nuts.
Bro, when I watch Fortnite now,
dude it's a different game i mean yeah that's how like i feel like that's why games kind of die out
because people get so good at them that everyone else is like i'm not gonna get there yeah i feel
like that's what happened with split gate dude like there was a little wave of splitgate like
starting to happen but like people would get to like the higher ranks and then we would play
the people that have been playing for three years and they're just the whole game went like when
when you're playing shitty players,
you're like getting into actual,
like gun fights and stuff.
But once you start playing good players,
it's nothing but power weapons and portaling.
There's like,
you don't spawn and like get into gun fights.
It's just like portals and shotguns,
power weapons.
Fucking portals.
And so I quit that game.
I figured that's how it was going to be.
And they just got a hundred million dollar investment.
Oh,
yeah.
A hundred million?
Like,
I wonder what they're going to do with that.
I might want to hop back on that train.
the game does feel good it's fun it's like one of the better games i've played lately it looks fun i feel
like that's why like for games like that creator like like watching you and like enable and everybody
watching you guys play against each other was a lot of fun yeah i mean once you guys but then like
once we play the people who have been fucking playing it's like this is so dumb people forget
that game's been out for three years so people know exactly where the fuck that i keep doing spider man
where the portals are yeah they're just portling everywhere yeah
yeah i don't know but that's how that's that's how a lot of games are they just like people get so good
where it's just like it's not even fun to start playing it because yeah you're just so like fortnight
like even if there was some fucking wild thing that made me want to go play fortnight again i would just
be like bro like i'm gonna hit a certain level and then i'm not gonna have any i'm not i don't even
have the drive to try to get that good yeah like there's you know what i'm saying like that they got
that you young they got that i just i remember the first time that hit me i was like i was like running with
my fucking pickax and then you just get i just like look at look i see a dude and i aim at him and it's
just like remember i just got like exhausted i just put my controller down i was i don't even want to
didn't we play a two i don't want to fight you i don't didn't we play a two's tournament like
the beginning of fortnight and we played again who was it pomage and who
it was another like sniper i thought it was so
it wasn't Huskers?
No.
Okay.
I don't know why I thought it might have been him.
Maybe it was.
Was it?
Formal, we will catch you when you get back.
Usually somebody goes to get his food.
Oh, shit, I don't know.
But we fucking played Pomage.
I thought it was like a.
It was like a big name person?
Like a Fortnite kid.
Maybe not though.
I thought it was another sniper.
And then we, do you remember what happened?
Like you lagged out or something?
Yes. We were.
And then like I got more kills than both of them and they both died.
So I was like, we win.
but like right when you lagged out
I was like yo are we restarting this
like hitcher slagged out and they're not responding
so I'm like I guess I'm playing this out
and then I end up beating them
and then they're like no you said
nah we heard you say like hitch lagged
out like this doesn't count
they're like to scumbag you they did scumbaggaggous
and we had to replay and then we lost
that was winners round two of like the
second
of the second Friday
Fortnite like Friday Fortnite.
Yeah that was like
that's crazy
Keem put that that that was keem starts thing right that was like the second week and that's when it was
like fucking blowing up and uh and then we and then we go down into losers round two and it's we play
uh tifu and cloak yeah and i didn't know who what's that yeah i don't i didn't know who tifu was
and the thing is you never watched him like eight one or anything i i had seen his clips but i've never
like watched his stream so like i knew because i went i went back and i was like oh he's the dude that like
kills people with crossbows out of the fucking
passenger seat.
Like I had seen his clips like he's nuts
But I didn't like put a face to a name
And he he was banned on Twitch at the time
For some dumb shit
And so he couldn't talk or stream
On on Twitch
So our viewers
Our viewership they found out where Tifu was in the bracket
Oh yeah
Our viewership just exploded. Holy shit I remember
We went up to like I went up to like
I went from like 500 viewers at the time to like 9K.
Really?
Just because they were trying to find where Tifu was.
And then the,
the entire chat is just all like,
no one I recognize is like typing in my chat anymore.
It's just,
I'm like getting harassed.
Fucking brutal.
That's when you fucking sub only it.
I mean,
I don't even know.
That was so long.
I was like,
talk about Tifu.
Got a sub here.
Yeah.
But yeah,
let's move on.
And every once in a while,
somebody would be like,
Man, we should probably stop talking shit.
These guys seem chill.
And we're down 20 already.
It's not like we're even.
It's like over.
They're just like, all right.
Just let him.
Yeah.
I'm just like,
they're just like,
these guys are pathetic.
I'm just like,
man,
I love,
I love Tifu.
He's just a great guy.
And then they're like,
L o,
L.O,
L.
L.O. L.O.

And that was,
speaking of honey,
ad read if I do say so
myself back to the podcast
all right and we are back have you guys ever been
Battlefield fans nope
all right next question
I mean
swag and noop squad
I can't even talk about that because I
literally watched zero seconds
of the beta I actually think it looks pretty cool
do you I had a lot of fun
I've seen clips I actually think it looks pretty cool
it's like when you if you hop in
with a squad of four, your first three games
are gonna be,
they're gonna be amazing.
Because like,
there's just,
dude,
there's just like jets flying
and fucking helicopters crashing.
There's a fucking,
a fucking,
uh,
rocket.
It is a fucking shit storm the whole time.
Like when I,
I watched Tim and like courage and all them playing it and like,
it is a shit storm the whole time.
It's like a movie.
It's like a movie.
Is there skill base in that game?
I don't know.
I'm just curious.
I have no idea.
sure you are
we only
what is that supposed to mean
what does that mean
we only ran into one like
insane
lobby yesterday
I'm here an idiot
I'm just curious
I'm gonna
I mean shit
is there skill base
in that beta
dude yes
yesterday
dude I found the move
when there's like a four
when there's a two B two kill race
play fucking trios with Phil
literal bot lobbies
like unbelief because everyone's trying to
stream snipe the people in the 2B2 Twitter
so it's like you don't get any
like of any of them
and it was so much fun I dropped like
38 28 28
33 and then like another 30 and like four games
back to back back yeah yesterday
holy shit that doesn't I could have had a 50
yesterday but you choked
no I got held from airport
but I could have had a 50 like easy yesterday
I don't say held from airport
it's something called that a trip
bro it was actually like mind blowing
how easy the lobbies were.
Anyways, the beta looks pretty sick.
Are you gonna play?
Are you gonna play?
Yeah, I'm gonna play it.
I'm gonna play it.
I'm gonna play it.
We should play it.
Have you, uh, are you gonna play on mouse and keys
or you're gonna go back to controller?
No, I'm playing controller.
You just, it's a lot of fun.
Can you actually hit?
But isn't it only one map?
It's literally just-
It's only one map, so I wouldn't.
There's a lot's going on.
But isn't it for seven hours?
Yeah, like how do you play that one map for?
I mean, I guess you just play it for a couple hours and then get off.
I was about to say it, like,
you're about a couple of,
to say that while playing war zone for eight hours a day.
But that's a BR.
It's not like Battlefield's not a BR.
BR's are at least like.
How do you know?
I will say that if Battlefield, if 2042 makes a BR, it'll be amazing.
Because the last one they made was just not good.
I don't know if y'all ever played it.
The Firestorm one.
Do you think they ever will make a BR?
They already made one.
It just sucked.
Really?
Yeah, they made one called Firestorm.
Battlefield a bad company was pretty good.
I think I faintly remember that.
It was just like, it was only a mouse and keyboard.
There was no controller support and the UI was just like horrible.
Wait, was there controller support?
There might have been, but the UI was just terrible.
You had to, like, if you picked up shotgun ammo, you couldn't pick up snipe ammo and you
had to drop all your shotgun ammo and if you had a snipe and then you pick up another gun
and you have to find the right ammo.
It was like fucking weird.
It was like that kind of stuff.
Like apex, but not easy to understand.
So it wasn't good.
It was probably why I didn't play.
I feel like I've been hearing battlefield hype for 10 plus years.
I mean, that's how, like, that's why I would say the battlefield community and the Cod community,
like if you talk about either of them, it's like a war.
Yeah.
It's like, battlefield's going to be better this year.
And everyone's like, no, COD's going to be better this year.
There is a little battlefield community, huh?
Like a big battlefield.
Is there really?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like, it's actually popular.
I feel like I don't hear anyone ever say they play battlefield.
No, there's definitely a big community.
I mean, they may.
Is there tournaments and stuff?
No, it's not competitive at all.
It's supposed to be $1.6 million tournament.
Yeah, I remember that.
Dude, I remember when people were talking about that.
They were like, dude, do you want to play it?
And I'm like, what the fuck?
They were like, it's 1.6.
And I was like, I'm looking for nine teammates.
I'm pretty sure I was like, I'm pretty sure I was going to play it if it happened.
I feel like that would be sick though.
Play like a, because what does battlefield?
It was like a 10 v. 10, dude.
Ian.
To have 10 teammates and like practice for attorney?
Like one guy's the tank.
Because like Ian and Mr. X.
Oh my God, Ian.
Yeah.
I forgot he played the shit out of it.
Ian and Mr. X were going to play it.
And then Ian talks about that tournament to the.
day all the time. It didn't happen, right?
It never happened, no. The guy who, the guy who
put up all the money just disappeared off the face of the earth
or something like that. So you think he was just
scamming? I think he was just scamming.
But then he didn't get anything out of the scam.
Yeah, I was supposed to say.
He didn't get shit from it. I'm just like,
I'm just kidding.
Could you imagine like that? He's like I was trolling.
The thing were tournaments that big or
like if, if Battlefield actually did host like
a like a event that was like
90 v. 90.
like one team is going to get stomped.
It's not, with that many people, it won't be even.
Oh, dude, it'd be like, ready player one.
Just like, you see a Gundam?
Yeah.
That should be lit.
It would be awesome.
There would be crazy clips.
Oh, the teams would be so unbelievably imbalanced.
There'd be three kids on each team, like going for like the Easter egg.
Like they're looking for like the golden snitch.
Like they're seekers.
Imagine the teams you could build.
Dude.
Just get all of the CDL.
Literally all 48 of the CDL is in it.
Yeah.
And then get retired pros and then you get all the war zone players in it.
And then the other side is just like,
versus all the battlefield.
I don't know.
That would be a fucking war.
That would be a battle for the ages, bro.
And actually would be late.
Yeah, that would be crazy.
All the CDL war zone people and then all on the other side is just
CDL versus battlefield.
The battlefield guys show up with like the gears pros.
Just traitors.
No.
They're just with gears and halo.
You just see pistola in the fucking jet.
just
That would be crazy.
That would be fucking lit.
But every battlefield player
would have all the
There was one game yesterday
where I was getting frustrated
as hell
Because there was definitely
People that had played Battlefield before
Like their whole lives
In that lobby
And there were like
Nine planes up
And they were all theirs
And so every time you spawned
It was just
Really?
Yeah, you're just getting rained on
And so then the next
The life of a noob
You know?
I think I have
I think I was watching fucking shredded.
I think I was watching you trying to.
I was watching you trying to cross-map
snipe someone for like 30 bullets straight.
Because there's such a bullet drop.
Wait, was it fun to play?
Yes, it was a lot of fun.
There was only, I'm telling you, we probably played like
10 games and there was only one game where I was like
frustrated.
But there's a, the thing is, is there's a rocket
that goes off every game.
if the game lasts long enough.
And if you, like, grapple to the rocket,
you can, like, go to the moon.
What?
Wait, is that what y'all were waiting on?
Because I can't know if he's trolling.
No, I was watching,
I was watching your stream and y'all died
and right when y'all died, something happened.
Yeah, we're all,
y'all were just camping there, like, oh, it's got to come up any second.
We're ready for the rocket.
And then when the rocket goes off,
people were like, if you grapple to the rocket,
it'll take you, like, with you.
And then you can just feel like above the,
like above the moon.
So we're like,
We're like all up there just waiting.
Just like 10 people.
You just see him flying with the rocket.
Did anybody get it?
No, because the dude flanked us and killed all of us.
And in the kill cam, we can see the rocket going on.
And he's just flying out with it.
Just nose go big.
That's good.
And then 10% of every games, there's a, there's a tornado that just spins up.
And it goes through the.
the whole map.
Are you serious?
It will suck you into the tornado.
And this is like 120 players in the map.
I have no idea how it.
What is it?
We might have to play it.
Is it 60?
How do you download it?
Do you just, can you just get in?
How many?
Oh shit, there it is.
This is what you're waiting on.
Yeah.
Oh, shit.
Yeah, he grappled.
Oh my God.
That's what I was trying to do.
He's going with the rocket.
Dude, someone's going to hit like a trick shot.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like snipes.
There's someone out of the plane.
just only trying to do this.
Yeah. Yeah, that was me.
So where is it, when do you like?
How is the grapples?
Bro, what the fuck?
I don't know.
I've never actually seen it.
That's a strong-hous girl.
He just gets sniped.
A jet just fucking hits him, hang.
When do you get disconnected?
Or do you never get disconnected?
I don't know if you do.
He might just go to the moon.
This was an eight-minute video.
He might just be on the tape for eight minutes.
Skip across.
Skip, skip, skip ahead.
Where does he go?
Dude.
What if it just took you to the-
Look how high up he is.
Look at his map.
dude it's like Hawaii or some
shit it's actually like beautiful
this is literal chaos
it's like a beautiful map
wait how far up does he go
oh shit 100 meters
god
it's stringed no scope
can you parachute
yeah yeah he's about to parachute
world's first actual rocket
grapple
I don't he was first
he just kind of came back down pretty quick
it was like it was possible to do in real life
now was that worth
Yes, we just watched it
Yeah
But the tornado shit's crazy too
That's pretty cool
Dude how do you download it?
You just pre-order it on Steam
Or like EA
There's something you can do with EA
I don't know
And then you just play the beta?
Yeah
And then you just play the beta
It's a lot of fun though
Fun
I look pretty fun
Should we play it today?
I'm down to play
It's chaos
You get a good you get some good clip
I mean guaranteed
Dude I'm guaranteed
Yesterday we got like 12
12 Twitter clips.
Matt, can you go to my Twitter and...
Oh, here we go.
Guaranteed we'll have fun.
Oh, here we go.
Strike one.
How long could you play it for, though?
Like, how long did you play?
You could probably play five, six maps.
And like, it would be...
How long does a map take?
Like 30?
Yeah.
Really? They're that long?
Yeah.
They take a while.
It's like 25, 30 minutes.
How many players is it?
Dude, so...
You can't hear it, but...
I'm trying to shoot somebody,
and all I hear is Marcel go,
George.
George George and at this point George Fogg couldn't control the fucking helicopter and he just flies into the ground and they both die
It's like shit like that happens like Twitter little windy God damn there's a drag
I mean I'm looking at OBS at that wall
Oh my man well I mean this one well I mean I'm on mouse and keys are you actually? Yeah, I'm on mouse and keys
So no way is there controller like there's controller this controller support
Um
yeah we might have to play this
There's shit like that that happens.
Or at least a little bit.
Three times a map.
Like, that would be a lot of fun.
Especially with you guys playing.
Like that shit, they would, y'all, y'all's chats would eat that up.
You reckon?
I reckon.
Cool.
Invite.
Uh, season two came out for, you want to play?
Wait, season two.
Actually?
Yeah.
Season six.
Season six, right?
I'm down.
Season six came out yesterday.
Yeah, season six came out last night.
Well, today.
Have you, oh, so you haven't played it?
No, I haven't played at all.
Apparently, I've heard, and I've heard,
watching a little bit, like when I was waking up, and apparently all the new guns, none of them
are meta, which is weird, because usually the new guns that are released, they make O.P.
So that people buy the skins or buy the battle pass to get the gun to level it up.
But none of the guns are meta, apparently the shotgun is horrible, which thank God.
Yeah, thank God.
Because if that thing came out and was busted, I would have lost composure.
Running into buildings just and you're dead.
Like the gallo, dude, you get.
you get ran up on by people with gallows
yeah it's busted but the grab apparently is good
and then they leveled they leveled downtown
they want wait really downtown there's like a fissure in the middle of downtown
and then i don't know what happened to stadium like a fissure
like a fissure you're like a fissure you're fissure you're fissure you're
fissure and then there's bunkers under the map like world war two bunkers
I don't know what happened to stadium.
Wait, this might be fun to play Wars on today.
Yeah.
So that's what I'm saying.
We could play like Battlefield and then play.
Holy shit, they're getting rid of downtown.
Dude, I might play.
Yeah.
Isn't that what everyone's been asking for?
Fine.
Yes, for a year and a half.
Play sucks.
Downtown does suck.
I play sucks, dude.
It sucks, but.
There's nothing cool about that place.
Nothing cool about that place at all.
So yeah, you want to play Wars on today?
Dude, we could do a nice little battlefield times Warzone stream,
just probably not get bored the whole time.
Is that the goal?
I mean, yeah, sometimes when you're playing war zone, I'm not even going to lie.
Like, I mean, I'm only playing it for another month consistently until Vanguard comes out.
Yeah.
But like you, there are days where you just lose fucking fool all day long.
Yeah.
I'm not kidding.
That's why I stop playing.
That's why I stop playing.
I'm not kidding.
They're like two days ago, we literally, eight games we played on Verdant, six hackers.
We switched to rebirth and started having fun.
Apparently that's like the wave is rebirth.
That was like the regain was rebirth.
But dude, that, that.
that like three hour period
like the chat's just like get a good game
like get a 30 bomb and I'm like bro
there's literally zero chance
we're getting hacked on every game
and then if you're not getting hacked on there's two teams
of stream snipers in the game
it's gotta fuck them up it's frustrating
well yeah if you kill the stream snipers usually
the lobbies aren't bad but
yeah it gets frustrating quick
so are you gonna play
multiplayer strictly when it comes out
or are you going to try to play both
I will
probably
like at the start I'll probably dabble in both
but like when the season starts
I'll probably play most of the multiplayer
especially if there's league played
to start of the year
what are you laughing at
just picturing you're just being super jealous
and I'm playing horizontal day
I mean hopefully it's good
I'm in a cycle
and I'm like yeah it looks pretty bad
and hopefully it's good
for your sake
Hopefully the game is good, so you have something to play and enjoy.
I'm not trying to be malicious.
You are.
I'm not.
You always are.
Everyone thinks I'm always trying to be malicious.
I'm saying, I hope it's good for you.
Chinese government bans teenagers under 16 after I'm streaming.
I think that's always been a thing.
That was a good transition.
Thanks.
I mean, is that fair?
I don't know.
Loki, imagine, well, I'm imagining when I'm like 13, 14, playing Halo 2.
Streaming.
If streaming was a thing, like how it is now back then, I would have fucking loved it.
Would you be canceled now?
Probably.
Probably.
At least he's honest.
Probably.
I'd be pissed.
I'm thinking it myself at like 14 to 15, 16.
I don't know.
Those are like the years of like, like, those years are when you're like learning the game.
And that's like when your growth is happening, like, in terms of like learning how to play games.
So.
like the right way.
So like,
it's kind of like,
that's kind of fuck
that they can't stream until,
because I started streaming
when I was probably,
what,
13?
Really?
What?
Was it 13?
Maybe 15.
15,
yeah,
I probably streamed when I was 15.
So,
like,
imagine I didn't have,
because that was like my breakout year.
Like,
when I started,
like,
streaming and when you were 15
was your breakout year?
I mean,
MW3.
That was before at Blackups 2,
wasn't it?
Or was it after?
It was before.
It was before.
It was before.
Right before, yeah.
Yeah, it was the year before.
That's when I, like, started blowing up.
What the fuck?
You don't remember I got the double Moab on Hard Hat?
And that was like my first.
No, I don't.
I mean, I don't remember your specific video.
I was like my first, like, huge video.
And then, who promoted it?
Ronald Deenio promoted it.
And he had like, what?
A YouTuber at the time.
Ronaldinho is his name.
Oh, so not Ronaldinho.
No, not the fucking soccer player.
Okay.
But he promoted it.
And that's like when I got.
my first traction and then I kind of carried that into blackups too. I do remember that. I actually
remember that now. That's probably why fucking Optic wanted me in the first place because I like actually
had a decent base of viewers or just content. Yeah. And that came from MW3. So imagine I didn't
get to do that. Like that's just here. Yeah. I mean, I wonder if they can, I wonder if it's like
content in general or like they just specifically can't live stream. Like I wonder if they can like
I mean, they make YouTube videos or TikToks or whatever it may.
Yeah.
I mean, it's not super hindering.
Because if you started at 16, it's still, you'd still be in a, you know, good age to start.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's so pretty young.
But, yeah, I don't, I don't.
I mean, 15.
Holy shit, you started so young.
Yeah.
That's fucking crazy.
I think my first stream ever, I was 22.
I streamed around 15, too.
Yeah.
Yeah.
My first stream ever was at.
60-50 so that's probably like
24
damn I mean just think about how long
I never had internet good enough to
I'd like 0.5 upload
think about how long you were playing video games
uh
I was probably I don't really remember
I was so hype my first string
it's crazy to think about I played
because the time flew back
is the next 18 years going to fly by like that
probably shit
you'll be old
I said I said I probably started
playing video games when I was like eight
so I said
the next 18 years going to fly by like these?
What were you grinding when you were eight?
I know you had your specific games.
I think that was when the original Xbox came out or around then.
I might be wrong on my age.
2000?
So I was...
What was the first system you guys played?
I was five?
What was the first system you played?
I might have been playing since I was five.
So I played PS1.
Because when the first Xbox came out, my brother got it and I played it.
Really?
Yeah.
But whenever that was.
Huh?
Do you play PS1?
I don't think so.
I think I started on next one.
Xbox.
Xbox came out 2001.
Did you play PlayStation?
That's when I started.
Genesis and N-64.
I played N-64 as well.
What was first?
N-64 or PlayStation?
N-64.
I played N-64 then.
I played that as well.
I played like Golden Eye and shit.
Yeah.
Bro, have you,
when you think of Golden Eye,
do you think like that game was sick?
Like, it's a classic.
I don't remember about it.
Really?
I think it was kind of wild.
And do you think of it that way?
Yeah.
Have you gone back and played it again?
It's impossible.
It's so bad.
It's impossible to play.
Yeah.
It's so bad.
Dude, in order to aim, you have to hold down the right trigger, because there's only one joystick.
You have to hold down the right trigger and then it'll lock your aim and then you can move your reticle.
It's fucking, and then other than that, it's just your hip firing.
It's really difficult.
It's super difficult.
But I'm sure it was.
But at the time, back then it was.
I mean, it was loved it.
It was like you guys ever play on Spiro?
Yeah.
The PlayStation.
Spiro is lit.
They need to remake that fucking game.
Okay.
I just say they have.
Then I probably did play the regular.
because I played Spiro.
Yeah, I think they did remain it.
Crash Bandicoot?
A year ago.
Crash Bandicoot, Ratchet and Clank.
Yeah, those are all really good.
Yeah.
I say I wasn't allowed to have a fucking console until the Xbox came out.
So I just went over to Friends House all the time and I would play some PlayStation games, some N-S64 games, whatever they had.
I would just play whatever they.
Dude, I miss being a kid.
Being a kid was fun.
You could play so much shit.
You remember just going over to kids, me and Nick talk about this.
You remember just going over to kids' houses just knocking on the door?
door.
I'd be like,
are you know?
Yeah, it's John.
Is Johnny home?
Yeah.
That's fucking crazy now.
Somebody knocks on my door now.
I'm like,
I wonder what they,
there's no way kids do that.
Who is this?
I look at,
I look at my door and I answer them.
I'm like,
hello.
If I hear a knock on my door,
if I hear a knock on my door by like heart stops,
I'm like,
same.
Like,
dude,
I'm like,
you know what it used to trick me out?
Remember when streamers used to have like the,
uh,
I love doing that shit.
Dude, I would think people were at my window.
Like, I'd be afraid to open.
I remember it happened at the optic house.
And I was, like, afraid to look out my window.
I thought someone was at my window.
Yeah.
On the second story.
Literally, dude, it's like, like, it's like a, it sounds.
It's super convincing.
It sounds like someone's knocking on your door.
Yeah.
I can play, I can, like, play through the Discord.
So I was trying to do, I was trying to do that so, like, so bad whenever we were playing with Zen.
So I would just play it.
Boom, boom, boom.
But it doesn't come out of stereo.
comes out as mono so it just sounds like it's straight on so it's not nearly as
but you used to do that with your go xLR yeah i used to do it so much bro in 2020 i put
so much shit on my go xLR to just troll people in matchmaking like just by yourself
yeah just by myself not streaming at 7 a m i'm in social 4v4s like just fucking trolling kids
like i've done that one like plenty of times the knock one
Yeah, it's good.
What happened to you?
You just see your teammate, like, stop moving.
You know, it's just like,
that's the joy you get out of it?
Sometimes I would download a whole MP3 of a song
and put it in my GoXL artist.
It's so, like, it's just coming through perfectly
in their headphones.
Just like a regular fucking normal song.
Probably Drake.
There's definitely plenty of Drake.
You'd have been more told me.
You'd have been like candy shop.
Yeah, I did.
I did a lot of troll songs.
Like Barbie girl.
Like, they just telitubby theme song.
Like, this random shit.
You ever seen the picture of the...
You were 29?
I was 29, yeah.
You ever seen the picture of the...
You ever seen the picture of the telituby without his mask on, just ripping down a bogue?
What?
You must know.
I bet I made that my profile pic.
I forget where I saw it, bro.
It's just a telotubby.
He's sitting on, like...
a hill and he has his helmet next to him and he's just smoking a sick.
That is fucking great.
He looks some miserable, well.
That is great.
Which isn't funny, but like the fake hill with the sun in the back.
The picture itself is funny.
I can't remember where I saw it.
Am I saw on Twitter?
You know, they call it.
They call the actors back and he's just,
he's like, cut.
Yeah.
He just puts that on his fucking leg.
He just smells like a cigarette.
Like under the hair.
He's just bathing in it.
Just basking in it, bro.
I thought that was so funny.
You find it, Matt?
Yeah, find that.
You can, like, take tours.
Exclusive people can take tours of, like, Disneyland, too.
And, like, you can go behind the scenes and you just see, apparently, all the act, like,
all the people, like, goofy masks.
That'd be depressing.
They're all just smoking.
I mean, yeah.
You know, in order to work at Disney, you have to go to a,
Disney University?
I believe it.
That's actually kind of late.
They're super in character there.
What is it Disney University?
They don't break character, bro.
They never break character.
I wonder what they do there.
I wonder if that's a fireable offense.
It is.
If you break character, you're done.
That's it.
And you went to school for it.
That's fucking crazy.
Really?
I guess that's why it works so good.
And like, if you go to school to be fucking the little mermaid
and there's no little mermaid spots open in
Florida or California,
then you'll get shipped to fucking Paris.
Wait, actually?
I mean, where else are you going to, you went to school for it?
Yeah, you're a little mermaid ready.
I mean, that'd be an adventure.
You're going to Hong Kong.
That's an adventure.
You go to fucking Disney World Paris.
You have to learn French.
Yeah.
And you're just a little mermaid?
You're just a little mermaid.
You just feel so alone.
Matt Craig is still searching for the picture.
Yeah, because I think you made that up.
You dream.
I don't know where I saw it, but I've seen it.
I know I've seen it.
Talley Tubby
Matt's looking up
Teletubby.
I'm pretty sure it was the red one.
Red Tully Tully Tully.
I might have dreamed it.
I could have dreamed it.
Tinky Winky.
Tinky somewhere in my life.
I know that for sure.
Tinky Winky Dipsy Lala Po.
Are those the names of the Teletubbies?
That's sad that you know that is actually sad.
I think Poe's the purple.
Okay, no one's going to back you up here.
This is all you.
How do you know this?
You know what you?
You don't talk with Teletubbies?
What's one of them?
Tinky Winky Winky.
Which one's that?
one already.
I don't know.
It sounds like it would be the yellow.
Tinky,
then Dipsy,
super trolly.
And Lala,
I think Lala's red.
Lala's got to be.
Po.
That's purple?
It's just a big purple guy.
Just po.
Why are you so into tel-divodes?
You have the baby?
As the son?
Was there a baby?
Was there a baby?
No, it's the sun.
The son was a baby.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, shit.
That was much.
You think that show like,
like watching it, like, now?
Like, if you were like on acid or some shit?
I bet.
Yeah.
You think you'd be like, this makes a lot more sense.
Yeah.
I bet there's like some crazy conspiracy theories and shit of behind it.
Have you ever watched Alice in Wonderland, like the original one?
Yeah.
I don't.
I feel like I have.
I can't believe we watched that as like the one from like the 1950s.
Oh, maybe not that.
I thought you went.
The new ones.
The new one?
The Mad Had him, Johnny Depp.
Oh, no.
He's such a good actor.
Yeah, he's good.
Yeah, that's like another one of those, right?
It's like I can't believe.
Conspiracy theory.
Crazy.
It's literally an acid trip from start to finish.
Matt, are you still looking for it?
This is definitely made up.
It's just putting you on a fucking wild goose jesus.
I could have sure I saw it, bro.
Yeah.
If somebody tweets that picture at Seth,
if somebody tweets that picture of Seth, he'll give you $100.
Is it all a fabrication?
What's that one?
The X-Files guy?
I've never seen X-Files.
It's make-belief.
It's make-belief.
Pleat fabrication.
And it's just like over and over,
you're not going to believe this.
You know, Oger 2 and Oger 1 had Gamer Tags at some point?
Or I could be making this up,
but I'm pretty sure they had like fake gamer tags
and they were like Agent Dana Scully
and Agent Fox Mulder.
It was the X-Files Act for those people.
I thought that was super cool.
So props.
It sounds like something they would do, though.
It looked pretty cool.
I never seen X-Files.
Wow.
I actually, right.
I cannot relate to this.
But I think that's going to do it for this.
This has been a crazy all over the place podcast.
