The roster stuff's been, uh, that's, that's mainly why I like did it. I think it's time for you to reveal what the Optic roster is for 2020. Y'all ain't going to believe this shit. Happy New Year. Welcome back to the Optic podcast. This episode 106, I myself is named Davis. This is Seth. Hitch, scomp, Hector, and, um, maniac.

The name. Are you still hung over? I was in bed for two days after that. If you were to estimate how many drinks you've had since Friday till today, which is Tuesday, how many drinks? Well, it was all in one night. New Year's. New Year's. New Year's, I started off with probably like six, seven shots before I even got there.

I saw y'all all went over to Isis House. Did y'all like, do you all go out too? No. No, y'all just stayed in the apartment. If we would have went out, I would have said no. I would have said no as well. We were all too fucked. That was exactly what I like doing is like showing up to someone's place

and not like going to bottled and standing there. Yeah. At a table for four hours. Or going to concrete. Everybody put your hands up and then it's, and I'm like, dude. I must prefer the house vibes. But yeah, I had a lot to drink that night.

I would say like somewhere between 15 to 20 drinks. House parties is the way that I. I've always celebrated New Year's Eve with my boys. We need to start doing those TikToks. This is my first drink of the night. Yeah. And then this is my 20th drink of the night. Because we would have some,

we would have some fucking gems in there if we did that. Okay. Mental note, Joey, can you go party with them every single time from here or not? Thank you. Well, it wasn't really a party, though. There was only like, what, 15? That's a party.

15 people's a party. That's a party. There wasn't like anything too crazy. No. But it was, uh, it's, his parents came. Oh, that's dope. Yeah.

Tiff's parents came. We got, we got, fuck up. Really? Oh, y'all are all, y'all are all. It was, and of course at first, it's like, even is his parents. Like, everyone shows others, like, hi, hi, hi, dance. Everyone's, you know, it's just like, no one just drunk or anything yet. And then it's like, by the end of the night, people are dancing and shit.

People who you, not like, one and expect, but it's just, like, funny seeing people turn loose. That's funny. Especially their parents or knowing who it is, and it's their parents. Oh, we got loose. What did you do? Did you go to Arizona? No, Alexis and I went to the Gaylord Hexon, or Gaylord Hexon, the Gaylor Texan over by the, what is it? It keeps trying to get me to go there.

Great Wolf Lodge and stuff. Is it everything that you thought it would be? Because is, you've been to a Gaylor before? Well, yeah, but that was in Georgia, right? Philly, right? No, guys. I think he's in Georgia. No.

Oh, Austin. Nope. Fuck. No idea. is where Mike. What event was it? No, Florida. It was in Florida.

Fuck, I'm just, I'm just, does anybody know? I thought, wait, hold on. This is when Mike was. Nashville. Nashville, Nashville, Nashville. That hotel is crazy. Is it like that?

Yeah, yeah, it's like that. And they have like, they have like special stuff, like plan for us. Yeah, yeah. That just unlocked the like memory from me. Oh my God. So, so drunk. That's the Texan one.

I was not. I don't think I was of age. But you were still drunk somehow. That's crazy. Damn. Down. Yeah, so we stayed, we stayed like in one of like the balcony rooms and like all of that is like lit up and there's like Christmas music like like going throughout the whole like atrium and stuff. So that that was really nice.

That could be a play next year. Wait, can you look up? Can you look up a Christmas, Gaylor, Texas Christmas? There's just events in the hotel just going on. Yeah, there's like an escape room and there's like ice skating and there's a bunch of stuff for like kids to do. So like that's what it looks like. Was it just you too? I mean that looks that looks powerful.

That's really immersive. So I'm all for a good immersion. So we were planning on doing all the like things like all the like doing the escape room and doing that doing not really that. That's what like kids do. But like going ice skating and things like that. Actually ice? Yeah. You know when I was a kid I used to.

Yeah. Play with fucking dolls under the bed. Yeah. No. My. One of my relatives had a pool like a sloth. and I would go down bare ass to grease the slide so I'd with your ass.

To grease the slide. Wait, wait, wait. Yeah, you get your ass cheeks a little wet and then you fucking, you go flying. Like you would help out. Oh, I was going to say you just help everyone else out. I did that once, but a hot dog ended up happening. What's that mean? Huh?

Like, a Mr. Vagina Man happened? Oh, wait. Like, I was going down and say, boosh! That'd be more of a frankin-and-law. Beans. Franken Bees. Wasn't it? The lady man?

At the rec center at Wheeling, Illinois. So if you go down that slide and your face has touched it, your face has touched my booty. Damn. Did you guys ever sneak into? Well, okay, so I understand that when you guys grew up, there was technology. When I grew up, there wasn't like cameras or internet for all, as we know. We didn't really have technology growing up. There wasn't that much.

There really- Technology came out when I was in like high school. I think I had like iPhone started coming out like shit like that. I mean yeah but that was high school like I had dial up until like ninth grade. Yeah we were playing on the original Xbox like I guess I mean it's technology. What a thing is that we're saying is that. Definitely more than this boomer ass. Yeah so we used to speak into like everywhere like pools, not just like the rec center pool but also like

I don't know the apartment complexes pools or those disrespectful young kids. Who? Yeah. There's nothing else. But we didn't break anything. There's nothing else to do. I broke into a apartment or not a, like a, like a pool for a neighborhood. Yeah?

And like, yeah, they closed down in eight and we'd go in at like 1 a.m. And like, they don't have like cameras or anything. That's something that we did because we had we had Motorola razors. Dude, that shit was me and my brother were talking about it, though. The Motorola razor was insane. If you had one of those, you were sure. And I didn't have. And then I got one three years later when everyone else had eyes.

iPhones and I was like I got one finally I had the first iPhone and the only reason I had the first iPhone is because I got the newest brand new Blackberry Pearl. Yeah, and the Blackberry Pearl was the smaller one with the little you know roller thing. Yeah. And then I showed it to my friend Mario, you guys know Mario. Mario's like, oh, I thought you would have gotten the iPhone. I was like, oh, I thought you would have gotten the iPhone. I was like, why? He's like, because it's way better and you always like try to get the thing. And I was like, Jude, I want the iPhone. That little roller thing was elite though. Yeah. I mean the I mean, think about how much I mean, I don't know. I. I I'll never remember. I'll never forget when I saw my first, like, I think it was the iPod Touch came out for it. And I saw a dude have it and I was like, what? I don't even remember when I got on iPhones. Literally like it pulled up and he was swiping and stuff. Yeah, it's the best thing ever.

I just remember having a track phone while everyone else had like the razor or whatever. Think about that. That was like a loser. That was like 15 years ago. Where are we going to be in the next 15 years? Chips. Because now we have literally. We're already there.

Chips. We give literal computers. I'll tell you, by the time that you are, I don't know, 25, you're going to have something behind your ear and your glasses are going to be fully optimized to be able to not be in the way of the true peripheral vision, but also if you focus on it, you're going to be able to see the text that came in,

the directions that you're going in, you're going to see everything that you see now, call it the MPC movie with Ryan Reynolds. Free guy. Free guy. You know how you're walking down the street And then you see money signs or you see McDonald's like down the line. Yeah, yeah.

If you say, I mean, you see it now on your phone, right? Now you have the explorer, you have driving directions and you have satellite. Like that's exactly what's going to happen. An augmented reality. AR, baby. I thought Free guy was really interesting because we always think about like you build AI into a robot. And then eventually robots are going to take over humanity. That's like the go-to.

But like if we build AI, it doesn't matter where it exists. It could still become like free thinking. which is like what free guy is. It's an AI character in a video game, but like you start to become attached to him because he actually has real thoughts. Yeah. And so like that made me think that anything could have,

anything could be AI and could be like eventually like think for its own. It doesn't have to just be a robot that's eventually going to kill us all. I thought it was interesting, but it was also really good. Well, you saw, you saw that the AI image of, look at him at the human evolution that AI predicted and how it's going to be. How, yeah. How it started as like the Neanderthals And then it morphs into basically robots

And then I think we morph into like wires And eventually Yeah I don't know you just have to see it You gotta think about you gotta think about it Like I always talk about this Don't play right away don't play right away But I always say I always say this to people

Anytime Jude and anybody's like You need to eat healthier or you need to stop smoking weed And this is that I'm like I'm like by the time that it gets, you know, and I'm not going to wood here. You smoke weed? Yeah. But I don't drink, which is unhealthy. Drinking is the worst.

I thought about it. Hold on, hold on. I tell her, I'm like by the time that, that, you know, in the next decade or so, you're going to be able to replace your lungs with like plastic lungs. You're going to have a liver that's way better. You know what I'm saying? It's going to be better. So let's fuck it up now.

No, but I'm saying like this is, this points towards. that concept of becoming an Android. Play it. Okay, what is this? Yeah, this looks... Okay, okay. This is what we were. Monkey, monkey, monkey, person.

The endothal. Caveman. There we go. Okay, kiss the doors. Oh. Now we're on the phone. Now we're connected to the phone. Now we become Android.

The brain still remains the brain. For some reason, it thinks that our hands are going to be better than Android hands for a long time until they figure it out. And then we turn it. into more and more, you know, we're just, right here is when we're living in the internet. Like cyborg. This is when our brains and our beings are living on the internet.

There's no more need for your body. This is when we create a simulation out of ourselves. That's right. We literally matrix ourselves. So we're going to fucking watch the matrix and just do it to ourselves. We've seen how that is. It's already happened, though. It's the theory that it's already happened.

Look at, if you look at the pyramids and you look at like, who's our neo? Civilizations, huh? Who's our neo? I would Probably fucking Ace TV Imagine He does look like

Ace TV Yeah Yeah Everyone who got that one It's Aaron Yeah Aaron Aaron Ace Elymite Elamite

Yeah Elamite Anyway so I don't know how we got Into the AI stuff Oh the other thing is It's like Yeah so like

Little by little Like everything's gonna be Like think about the AI's ability To compress 50 years of economic upturns and downturns in the stock market

and how easily it'll be for it to predict the trends because it's not just going to look at the history and the analysis for the last decade but it's also going to look at the news and look at everything that has happened that led to that one thing so its understanding of what's going to happen is a lot. Next question.

Would you want to be alive during that age or this age? I don't want to be alive when it's fucking robot age. No, me neither. Fuck that shit. If you could be frozen right now and wake up in like 100 years, would you? No. Yes.

I don't know. I was randomly thinking about it and I was saying, You love Instagram, don't you? No, I'm a, what do you mean? What I don't get that part? I don't get it. What do you mean? I want to live on Instagram.

No, what the fuck? No, I want to just want to live. I want to see it. If you told me, if you told today, I get where you said. If I told you today, Seth, yeah, I'd like to see it. You're going to live to 90 years old period.

That's your, your expiration. date is when you are 95 years old. So when would I perish? Hold on. 95 years old. Let me do that. What's it? It's 20, 23. Yeah.

Just turn. I'm what? I'm 27. Hey. 2026. 2086. Yep. Is when I would perish.

Yeah. If I lived in 90. So let's just say your expiration date is 95 years old. Okay. But if somebody told you, hey, we can freeze you and guarantee you that if we freeze you at 90, you can live five years. Let's say this. You go from.

95 to 93 you lose two years but you can live three years 100 years from now would you do it am i 93 or am i you're 93 in my you know you're just you're just doing it for just to see just to see it you're not doing it to go bang fucking futuristic robot robot girls what was that that was a pig go hit some robot that was a pig yeah yeah yeah I'd love I'd love to see it but I wouldn't want to live there. I don't like the direction that society's going now. I don't like how everyone's on their phones, everyone's on their iPhone, iPads. I don't like that shit.

Do you think they've ever not said that, though? Was there ever a century or whatever decade that people were saying, I feel bad for the future generation? The cavemen were like, they're always on their rocks, you know, skipping them and writing on them. And like they don't do what we used to do back in the day, which is hunt, like real men. Literally every single. I don't know. I don't think we've ever seen a generation.

where we've been so technologically. I mean, this generation, of course. You say that. You say that. I know. We live on the internet. I get it. No, no, no.

What I'm saying is that you're saying that we've never seen this a generation or period of time where you're saying that. But look at the pyramids. Look at like all of the all of the data. Okay, you've seen that there are aliens. I'm saying from like a strictly technology standpoint. So am I. And people consuming technology. So am I.

But if you look at, if you look around, there are very, I saw a UFO. So my brother and I did last fishing trip. But there's, there's more. You did what now? Wait, wait, wait. They just slightly say that. What did you say? Was that you reversed?

Yeah. It's, all right. Everyone has their own interpretations. Last year for my birthday, so you guys know I always take a fishing trip. Yeah. All right.

If at any point you guys want to come along, I was just going to say if at any point, I'll pay for it. I usually pay for it. It's my present to myself and I spend it on my friends because that's my thing. That's what makes you happy. Yeah, that's what makes me happy.

So last year, we couldn't go to Mexico. So we went to Mexico. So we went to Lake Okeechobee in Florida, best Bass Lake I've ever fished, and I'm right down the street from Lake Fork. My brother and I, it's like 7.30 a.m. The sun is high enough to where you can see a reflection from a plane if it hit it in that one angle. But I, we're trolling, which means that you're moving very slowly to the next spots to not disturb the fish. You can't turn on the back engine, et cetera. So we're sitting there, and then all of a sudden, look up, and I'm like, I see a plane and I'm staring at it. And then little by little, like it reflected light because I got the light.

The sun's here and I got the reflection of it. And I'm looking and then as my brother starts to raise his hand, I see my own peripheral vision and I point to the same thing. And we're staring at it. And I'm like, I'm not going to grab my camera. I'm just going to stare at this thing. My brother goes and grabs his camera and this little capsule looking thing disappears. And I stared at that same spot. There was no clouds ever.

There's no clouds everywhere. So usually when I see that, I'll eventually see the plane. right it turns and you see wings and that I stared at that and it was no longer there and my brother's like it's no longer there right and if you well man that pine park must be top train

Pine Park Pine Park didn't happen until after breakfast and this was like 730 I'm not I'm not a morning smoker anyway me neither but anyway but I saw that so where I was going with that is like if you believe in UFOs and aliens and the recordings that have happened

about that then you have to believe in the fact that there are civilizations out there way smarter than we are that we can't explain a UFO is an unidentified there are there are also habitable planets okay and we've been discovering more and more of them okay so you can't say that this period of time for us is the only time the human kind has seen that level of technology i'm saying i'm not saying seen it i'm saying how connected we are to it yeah what i'm saying is that something happened to reset everything let me see your screen time i i just looked at it what's your screen time. I'm the best. I don't want to know.

I think mine's really good. I don't want to know yours. I don't want to know. Nick, Nick's on TikTok for seven hours. If I wasn't on TikTok, I'd definitely have to lose. Daily average, eight hours and 20 minutes? Yeah. Mine's. You're on your phone as much as you're

five hours, 15 minutes. Yeah. Let's see what TikTok is. Yeah, but it's 15% up from last week. You also have to take and say we were like I am on the phone. It was. It was the holidays, I guess. No, but like apps, apps. How do I see the apps. Like what? Like I said, you don't have your phone. Are you on

your, you're not, I wasn't on my Motorola razor for eight hours. Right. I was watching TV or conversate, you know what I'm saying? You were forced to. Yeah, watching TV. Yeah. Watching TV. I mean, yeah, it's a different form of technology, but at least you'll talk to

someone watching TV. Like, if you're on your phone and you're scrolling TikTok, I'm not talking. Unless I find a TikTok. Sometimes it's weird how mindlessly I'll scroll. Yeah. You said it? Yeah. Send it to everybody? I just don't like how... No, me either.

Yeah. You think it'd be different in a hundred years? It makes it harder to disconnect as well. No, in a hundred years, it's going to be worse because you're not going to know whether or not someone's paying attention to you. And I believe that our brain would be conditioned to be able to multitask better than ever before, which means that you and I are going to be able to have this conversation at the same time that I'm emailing Jeff Moore about... If we get all the way up to wear robots and then we eventually just... Enter the Matrix. Neo.

Who is, who's going to, what's going to happen to the NFL? That's why. Haven't you seen the robots that they, that's probably going to be even more insane. Everyone's going to be LeBron James. I don't think so. Like if you're a Michael Jordan, that's going to be considered a bad player.

Yeah. What's going to happen to, what? Just tried so hard to pull it out. I missed it. Good. I missed it. I heard Jordan and I know I missed the,

the whole joke. I just, I would, I would trade it. I would trade my, my last, you know, five years to get two years in a hundred years from.

You would only want to be unfrozed at like age 90 and have like five years left. Well, also, I, I, you would, imagine if you froze yourself now. You wake up,

you would be the man. I wouldn't do it. You'd be like. Instant celebrity. Yeah. This is the first guy who was ever been frozen. If you want to know it was like in 2000. Like he's unfroze with his out of the hockey.

This guy lived through COVID. Yeah. Ask him, ask him whatever you want. You start making up stories and shit. Isn't that how Futurama starts? Brian wakes up from a crowd chamber? I don't watch cartoons. I used to.

Yeah, me neither. I used to. So you wouldn't, you, I would. I would. I wouldn't do it right now because I wouldn't do it right now because I've seen enough here. Olegius 12, Judas, you know, still, you know, young. I would want to spend my next.

Again, I would spend 90 years. If I had 95, I would spend the majority of that, 90 of it, with my family and with everybody here, right? But my five years, I would sacrifice for me to be able to see. I would do that for me as a selfish act. I would trade my last five years for two to live as a 90 year old in 100 years from a lot. Well, also those two years, the technology might be so advanced. They might just be able to remake you and then you can live forever. That's what I'm saying.

But I don't know if I'd want to live forever. Imagine you just wake up. Who am I kidding? Imagine you wake up. 95 like you're 90 and you wake up to 100 years from now and June live or there and they're like dude like right before they froze you they right after they figured out how to make us immortal what do you wait they would have unfrozen ruin imagine you they would have thawed me out imagine you wake up

you're in a capsule slowly are pushed up like you're in a chair and you just come to the window and you see fucking like just cars flying in the air like you're in chorus on right star wars type shit would love to see that. Imagine that. No, I do. And you awaken to that. See, I don't need to imagine there's movies of it already. Have you watched Andor? Oh, so, so apparently it's really good. I've watched two episodes and it's like Star Wars but like for adults kids. Yeah. Well, so it gets it's fucking incredible. Is it gory? Hodge has been pushed. No, it's on it's under. But is it like, what about it's for adults? Like the

language or the politics of it? Yeah. It's just not like like, like it seems like everything that has been made so far on the Disney side of things has been like Mandalorian and like it's it just seems like it has like a kid filter over it but this one just wipes that filter away so like I think it starts off with like a dude just kills two dudes

in the back alley with a pistol and it's like that wouldn't happen so like they just go a little more row yeah yeah it's just a little bit more more human there's human emotion attached to it there's it's not language though imagine he's like put your fucking blast her down with your bitch

Chad. That would be lit. No, it's good. It's good. Yeah. You know what I started watching on the... All right. So I think it's important for us to address the fact that this past year, 2022, last week, is the first time where everybody in Optic sort of had a break, right?

Is that safe to say? It was nice. Oh, oh, you're talking about over the holidays. Yeah. Yes. It was nice. I thought we were talking about the year I was talking about the year and turn

I was like everybody took a break Mattie went away right Matt Matt Craig doesn't take fucking breaks folks Yeah but he did That's Matt Craig I did bro I know bullshit I was In the last In the last week

I started I started watching Sopranos And I haven't watched Sopranos Since it ended in 2007 I was 27 years old In the middle of Call of Duty 4 Or Cal Duty was at Black Ops 1 And that's what ended

And I haven't watched anything of it So I remember the the major memorable moments or some of them, the majority of them, but the show itself is like brand new. Dude, I love that feeling. Which gives me hope that in five years when I rewatch Game of Thrones, that I would have burnt away enough cells in my brain that I will forget enough to re-experience that.

And if anything, weed is good for me in that. Is is re-watching, or not re-watching. She's watching Game of Thrones. Like when I'm, like, when she has free time and I'm not around, she watches Game of Thrones. for the first time? For the first time. Dude,

she got to the Red Wedding? I don't know anything about that. She's on the Season 4. Isn't the Red Wedding? Do yourself a favor for your social media. Secretly record the Red Wedding. The entire episode, just set your phone there and just don't let her see it. Is doesn't want to be on camera? Okay, but it doesn't matter.

She will for this. But think about the amount of people. There's videos of people reacting to the Red Winning for the first time. The way that I, that, bro, to this day. Is the Red Wedding when they have the jars of the- Spoilers? I'm kidding I've never seen it

No Wedding Oh okay No it's when Yeah yeah okay Yeah I recorded I recorded Blake watching it for the first time In Poland yeah

Did you post it? Yeah it was on a vlog That shit was crazy I mean that that show is just Immortalized The thing with that show is it Everyone remembers the top like six moments But the top

The top what's under that That you will eventually Forget about It's still better than every other show Yeah. Besides Breaking Bad. No, you're out of your mind. No, no, no. Breaking Bad's good. Breaking Bad's very good.

Breaking Bad, I will say, is the most complete show ever. But it's, and the peak of, the peak of Game of Thrones is so farther ahead of Breaking Bad. And again, I'll say and I'll remind everyone, I did not mind the ending at all. I'm of Game of Thrones. Out of respect, do I have to watch it? Wait, just out of respect. You haven't watched Game of Thrones? No.

I don't think he can't. I've maybe watched season one, but it's like I'm playing on my phone. I get mad when people are like you didn't watch that show like and get mad at you, but like that's a show. No, I get jealous. Yeah, I get mad. I do the same thing. They're like, what? You don't watch that?

I'm like, there's a lot of shows. They're like, you haven't seen Mr. Robbins. I'm like, there's a lot of shows. I saw season one of Mr. Robot and then at the end that dude, uh, Christian Slater comes on. And I have, listen. You're a Christian. I remember you tweeting about this. I don't know why.

I don't know why. And I am sorry. I wish it wasn't the case. But just the same way that I rob people the wrong way, I'm sure. Like, I don't know. Something about them. You know how people used to hate on you guys at the scuff house for no fucking reason? People still hate on me.

Bro. Especially the past like two weeks. No. Some of these Twitch messages I see are so. Can y'all hop the fuck off, my man? No, there's. Damn. What's happening?

No, but what's your. Are you getting it too? Wait, wait. Are you getting hated on for not watching shows? are like in general. Just like in general. Damn. Just like some fucked up shit.

And it almost makes me laugh because it's like, you should make a video. I'm just like I haven't done anything. Like what the. And it like almost makes me fucking laugh out just insanely hardcore this shit. There's like three or four Twitter accounts. There's something in the air right now. There's like three or four Twitter accounts that I don't know what happened. But in the last four months, I must have done something.

Nah. Isn't it like every tweet? No, I do mute them. Oh, instant mute. Yeah. Well, Twitter. Nothing from nowhere is going to tell me something. But like I'll remember their profile picture and I'll mute them and then like

People will reply to them. And then like three months later, it'll say something like, it'll say something like view. And I'm like, what is this? And I click it. And it's the dude I muted. Who's still talking shit. Yeah, yeah. Three months later.

Yeah, yeah. Quality of life improvement hack for any influencers out there. I just on Twitter, you can literally put your mentions to. only people that you follow or are verified. Oh, I didn't really. Yeah, we used to have that. That's what I do and I literally, unless I go to my specific tweets and look at my replies,

on my tabs, I don't see anyone replying me. Yeah. Some guys. Which is bad, but good, because it weeds out a lot of the haters, but I also can go through and look at, like if I say Merry Christmas, I go. A lot of people say nice fucking shit, but it's just those. Yeah, well, it's not even that. It's just

I hate more than anything getting on Twitter and getting my vibe killed. nowhere like because I'll get on Twitter and like I'll scroll for like five seconds and there'll just be some pussyo and I'm like dude like why do I even get on this shit? No well I like it because I'm like oh cool I'll never have to see you again palm the second that I see something negative I'm like don't look at his name mute none never see him again Jesus to exist there's this one guy most recently that gets this is another hack for any influence out there if he doesn't follow you mute him it doesn't fucking matter he's not one

Doctor disrespect. Huh? Wait, wait, wait. Are we hyping it up? What do you? Is that why you said that? Were you not going to believe this shit? I mean, I was just, I don't think people are going to believe it, but.

But I mean, I'm going to tell you how I know that they're not going to believe it because they won't believe it. Yeah. Nobody going to believe this one. This one is not going to be believed. Anyway, let's take a quick commercial break. I'll believe it. Let's say hello our sponsors, ExpressVPN, Mitt Mobile. And of course, BitR.

Refill. Wow, what an amazing podcast. It has been so far. But I have to interrupt that so that you and I can spend some quality time together and talk about three amazing companies. The first being ExpressVPN. Using the internet without ExpressVPN is like checking in baggage at the airport without a lock. You think your stuff is kept private, but you never know who's going through your panties, hemorrhoid cream or sex toys. ExpressVPN. Jeez.

They can legally sell this information without your consent to add companies and tech giants who use your data target. Use your data to target you. You can browse more anonymously. When you use ExpressVPN, ISPs cannot see your online activity. Your identity is anonymized by a secure VPN server. And your data is also encrypted for maximum protection.

You fire up the app and you click one button. It works on all different devices. I'm talking phones. I'm talking laptops. I'm talking even your routers. And everyone who shares your Wi-Fi can also be protected. I think VPNs are very important, especially for people that are working almost solely online, which is what we do here.

All of our data, all of our passwords, all of our footage, all of our plans and documents. They're all stored online. and we want to keep those all protected, so that's why we use ExpressVPN.

Thank you guys so much for watching the most important part of the podcast. Now let's get you back to the other part where the other guys are talking. I don't even know who they are, but they're probably talking about some nonsense. So again, super thank you to the sponsor's first podcast of the year. Matt and I are going to be traveling out to L.A. in the next couple of months, probably like this month at some point to go do my eavesdrop,

and then we'll probably do some optic podcast if you want to go out there. I'm done. And yeah, we're going to have a traveling show. We have a lot of stuff for... Wait, y'all are bringing back to traveling eavesdrop? No. Well, yeah, a little bit more than before because we had a really good thing going up until COVID happened, and then that kind of put in damp.

And we almost went to online interviews, but, you know, not my thing. No, right? Wait, so there was a time you were doing traveling ief shops? Yeah, we went to Houston. We went to that. And I think we got some good plans for that, but I also want to take the,

I also want to take the good, good boys next door. I also want to take the optic podcast to travel. There has to be like three of us, so they have one guest out there. Like when you guys went and did the one with the F1? Yeah, exactly. Podcasts like, that was really good. That was fun.

I feel like that's fun. And the one we did it in Brackard Bridge was really fun. was cracked out on that one i don't know bro there comes there comes it happens maybe once or twice a year in a podcast where i'll just like feel cracked and maybe it was because like we had a few drinks that day so i was just feeling i was feeling loose but that's not what it is because i've had some before and it's like it doesn't i'll like feel tired shit but like that one i just felt cracked at and there's been a few like flycasts where i feel cracked but it's like it happens once or twice a year. And I don't know what it is. I feel like it's like my full ADHD kicks in. I didn't even

I was like self-conscious about it because I just felt like I don't know. I just felt like I was rambling. I didn't look at the comments. I didn't want to see anything. That happens every once in like while like what like during podcasts. Sometimes I feel like I have to hold back from talking. There's some podcasts where like, I mean, you just get through it. I knew that one. I was like holy shit. Sometimes I'm just like dude, I'm just like dude, I feel like I haven't stopped talking in like 40 minutes. It's so rare for me though, but like that that time it just like I don't I don't know what it was. I didn't I don't know what the feedback was. I don't even really want to know but hopefully it went well. When I came downstairs I was like so how did the podcast go and Blake was like I mean I didn't

say anything. Nick was talking to the boat as sisters the whole time. What's crazy was like a hour 50 minutes long and after it I think page or someone was like or maybe Matt was like or I think Matt drew on a board and was like we wrap this up or something like that. And I was like, bro, I could have, I had to use the bathroom really bad, but if, like, I didn't have to use the bathroom, like, I could have just kept going. Or I could have used it real quick, came back, but like, I just felt cracked down. Yeah, I need to watch it. I got to figure out what you were talking about for an hour and 50 minutes. I don't know, man.

And I think I was just asking them questions. Apply that to the flycast, because sometimes, you don't get nothing. Damn. People don't, people don't understand that when people are dominating a podcast, it's oftentimes because they're reading the room and understanding that. like sometimes he doesn't give you everything so you have to be the one to trigger a conversation that will hopefully engage there's a fucking formal on the last podcast didn't say shit maybe said like fucking 60 words yeah Matt sometimes will not say too Matt's either on or all but but when he's on fucking best best co-host ever when he's on best co-hosts ever when he's on best co-holes but that one I was just like I told page only hey if next time he doesn't want to do just fucking leave him off because I'd rather him not be on it than be on like that keep him on that when that comes in turn he's turn yeah he's he's so good yeah dude dude Dude, have you, I spent my Christmas break watching soft white underbelly interviews. Have you guys ever heard of this?

No, wait what? Look up soft white underbelly. What's soft white? Soft white underbelly. So it's this dude. He has a studio in Skid Row in L.A. So he just interviews like interesting people and people that have. Amazing concept.

Gender prostitutes. Hit like videos, Matt. And then hit or then do most popular. So like. Yeah. interviews like literally the most interesting and like you've seen that off the wall people heard of them okay so have you have you guys heard about the whittakers have you heard of the whittakers no Seth the waiter dude it's it's it's fucking ins it's this it's his family that

lives in west virginia they probably make a 12,000 dollars a year or something like that and there's like seven or eight of them and they're all inbred extremely inbred like four or five yeah four or five uh generations of incessual relationships and so like there's like seven of them and like three of them can talk and the rest of them like bar one of them barks the rest of the middle they either like bark or they don't say anything or they'll like point or something like that and uh he interviews them and it's insane have you watched that one i haven't i've watched all the I don't think I've watched. That's the other one, right?

I'm going to watch those. Yeah. I mean, it is in there. I used to watch this guy all the time during COVID, but then I, it fell out of the YouTube algorithm, so I stopped watching. And then he got interviewed on Joe Rogan a couple of weeks ago. So I got thrown back into it. I watched so many of these during break.

And you can only watch a few at a time, like, because. I mean, just by looking at them, they look like they could become a little bit grim really It's very intense. It's very sad. Very intense. And shit. I mean, that guy is, he, like, he, like, worries about his life sometimes, like, with some of the people he interviews and, like, this prostitute has, like a pimp and, like, can you look up, can you, a dude pull a gun on him in the interview? No.

Yeah. Can you look up, uh, yeah, look up that. Literally, he's sitting there. It's this guy and he, he's just been through a lot of shit. And he's like, I just hate the world. I feel like I hate the world. And then he, he pulls out a gun, cocks it, points it behind the camera like this and goes, see, right now, I could just. fucking end it all for you

and then he puts his gun back away and then the dude is like so do you have any kids look I could put that right through in your brain

so the other night yeah isn't that fucking so like those are the people he interviews and he said have you ever had a gun pointed at you hell no what have you

no it's not nice Yeah, that's that shit And it was The one that I got pulled on me Was like on a joke Like it was a person that I knew It was back back in Wheeling That's not funny

That's not funny That's not very funny No he was like he's like This like put it right here And I mean it's like You know I'd survive that It's below the waist

But just the fact that he did that I was like Dude now After that If he put that shit away Never talked to him again Of course not That's a fucking loose can

That dude sharp He's a pimp He does He works for no jumping Yeah Adam 22 got a gun pulled on him remember Well he's an ex-pemp right He doesn't do it anymore is he still doing? Yeah he doesn't I mean no he works for no jumper now and how he has his own

Did you see that Lush One's on on no jumper? Lush one did a soft white belly in an interview Beautiful beautiful beautiful concept beautiful photography beautiful thumbnails the whole concept Dude it's a it's a masterpiece I've never heard this person never seen this thing but just by looking at the thumbnail like I'm like this is this is insane this guy's incredible and he used to be a photographer and he said all he would do

he would just make but he would just find interesting people and photograph them put them in a book yeah and then he said so many people would come up to him and say or email him and say what are they like like

and he was like and at that point I knew I had to like you know start doing interviews so then he literally lives in he lives he works in Skid Row every day and he pays pays everyone for their photographs and then he pays them for the interviews. He pays people who

brings them interesting people. So I've seen something similar to this on Instagram, but it's not like people like this. It's not like drug addicts. It's just like normal everyday people. And he'll take a picture of him and give like a little thing on their their life or what's going on in their day or just something like that. Which is cool. I'm going to, I'm going to watch this. This looks. This looks really interesting. Yeah. It's crazy scene that I mean, he's on Skidrosso. So he said he's going to stop trying to do as many like addiction. Like addiction. Like addiction.

He's going to stop trying to do as many addiction interviews because there are so many of them. Because he said he literally could do, he could do six interviews a day of people that are addicted to drugs. And he would never run out of people. Yeah. Because he lives on, because he works on Skid Row. Yeah. And some of them, it's crazy that like people, especially like fentanyl and like heroin addicts. Yeah.

They'll have four seconds of that's them. And then they go back into like being. What's up, folks? Yo, yo, check it. Check it. One of the things that we're talking about earlier today is about the- Oh, congratulations. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Big T, going to be a daddy. Also just got married. Bro, this guy. Mary and Papa. Bro, this guy, I'm, where was I sitting? I don't, when you texted me that you guys, married. I was in a car somewhere and I was not going to get a text of him. Let me see. Let me tell. I'm going to I'm going to record this also just so that.

Yeah. No, I was I was really, really like surprised and I felt happy. It was like I was really, really fucking happy. Like I, I, I felt so happy. Huh? I felt so happy for you that I, I literally sent you a picture that I would never send a picture like this before of me just like, right? I would never send this picture ever. That's a genuine happy I've ever seen you. Send that to Matt so you can put it in there. I usually just get yelled at. That better be on the thumbnail of something.

It's uh, this is this is what he sent me. This is what he sent me, right? Damn. Okay. And he's like that and then the text is like, don't tell anyone getting hitched this morning in Vegas. And then a basketball, ball and chain. I get that. And then I was like, I was like, congrats my brother.

Fucking love you and wish you and the miss is big time. or a fruitful marriage. I'm like, eloped, ha ha, how you wild? And then he sends me a picture of the sonogram, baby timer on the way. And I was like really,

really, really, really fucking happy. Just knocking it out. Oh. Marriage, kid. I mean, those are two big ones. Just he said, let's get it both. Get it done. Both at one time.

Yeah, congrats. Let's go. Nick, you next. On low key, I've been thinking about it. About which part? First off, something's fucking like tickling my nose. But second of all, Second all.

I've been thinking about it a little bit. I was like, damn, I have, like, I'm 31 now. It's like, I don't want to be an old-ass dad. But also, I don't really care, but it's like, I don't know, a kid. You want to hear my advice about parenting? Yes. This is, okay. And I know that my situation doesn't apply to everybody.

But if I can have Olivia, the same person, at any point in my life, I would do it when I was like 20, call it 23, 24. That's when I would have my kid. I'm going to tell you why. Because, you know, right now I'm 40, I'm going to be 43 in two months, February 9th. Damn. Jude's going to be 41, I believe. Yeah, 41.

So, you know, we still have a lot of room to travel. I'm not saying that Olivia is, you know, that she can't come with on traveling. But, you know, we love being with her. So obviously we take her everywhere. But I do believe in the fact that if you are able to have a kid and you can afford. First thing first, if you can afford to have a kid, have a kid. If you cannot afford to even pay for your own fucking rent, don't have kids because you're going to bring them into a situation that they do not deserve to be brought into. It is not going to make your life better.

Of course, a kid makes your life better. But in this situation, it's not. Right. So if you can't afford to have a kid because it's great responsibility. If you can afford to have a kid, I would have them young. This whole notion of I want to see the world before I have kids is wrong. I don't give a fuck about the world. No, it's wrong.

I want to see Rome. I want to see Japan. Either this year, I'm making it a life goal. I'm making it a life goal, a checklist goal for this year for me to take live and Jew to Tokyo so that Olivia can see the Nintendo world and also Universal Studios has. this Hunter X-Hunter thing too and also obviously you know street wear is fucking popping over there

so I would love to go over there I'm thinking like four years four years before you before a kid and you're 20 30 something 27 dude next two years dude now I'm trying to stream yeah you're what stream with the baby

family family business man people do love babies and dogs people love babies and dogs Hey, everyone loves babies and dogs. Bring the baby on the stream. Rock the baby. Watch some CDL matches. Yeah.

Damn shit on. If I had a kid though at like 24, it'd obviously be with someone I'm not with now. Like, that would fucking suck. And not if you're an adult about it. And not if the other person's adult about it. Well, see, I'm still very immature. So am I. But I feel like having a kid would force me to mature, so it would probably be a good thing for me to have a kid because I need to grow the fuck.

Okay. Maybe same for me. I need to buckle down. You guys have known me long enough to know exactly the way that I am. Do you think I'm mature enough to have a fucking kid? No. Exactly. Yes, you are.

Yes, you are. In the ways that matter. You also kind of turn it on when we're. I'm sure you're a little more relaxed when you get home. What was that? He's a little more relaxed. I would say a little more relaxed. You a little more chill at home.

Do you? Are you the cool? dad? What? I like or is it? The question is like am I the cool dad and also the cool uncle? Are you at the cool husband? Are you at the age yet where you're about to start having to throw hands with the young man out there? No, she's about to be 13. What's the movie? Will Smith?

Yeah, like that. I don't think that I would ever be that type of that type of dad where I like she's going to make her choices and I'm going to try to support as much as they can as long as they're not harmful to herself. And as long as whoever dates her understands that I am not afraid to go to jail for my daughter. I am not afraid to kill you for my, the most important thing in my life.

But that's something, that's going to be shitting it. No, no, no. That kid's going to see this podcast a few years from now, and he is going to be shitting it. I think as a father, you always have it in the back of your mind, always in the back of your mind.

Like, you don't have to be the Will Smith thing. As funny as it is, you don't have to take that approach in order to deliver the message to you got to deliver. Right. This is the best thing that's ever happened to me. Most important thing in my life. And I am not afraid to do anything and everything.

Put hands on her, you're dead. Is it even worse? It's got to be worse as a, or having a child. Like I look at it like if someone did something to my mom, like I would go in like the depths and like plan shit out to like retaliate. It's crazy how much, ruin their fucking life.

It's crazy how much I thought about shit like that. Yeah. Sometimes I'm just like, I'm alone. just like, and in my mind I'm like, like, think of the worst shit. I can guarantee you that when you told that story about you getting into the elevator and then having a fight with this person or what would you do, every single person in the world has that. Guys, yeah, sure, but women also do that, right? Like, they also like, oh my God, if this.

I don't think they do it. No, maybe not as often. I'm not thinking about random dudes in the elevator fighting me. No? Yeah, you are. Yeah, you are. Wait, you've never thought about robbing a bank. How would you rob a bank?

the bank that I used to work at? I wouldn't try. I'm not saying you would, but I'm saying would, if someone was like, you know, you want to rob a bank and you were down,

would you, have you ever, I mean, I'm going in like the town style. Have you ever fantasized about robbing a bank? Yeah. And I know exactly how I would have.

What about a zombie apocalypse? How you'd survive? Zombie apocalypse, I'd be fucking crossbone muff up. So you, because you have to be quiet. You have to be silent. I mean,

you've never walked into a restaurant. But they're not, they're not human at that point. Once there's, They're not human anymore. Okay, say you're on a date. So it doesn't, it doesn't bother me. Say you're on a date.

Just, it's just you and your girl. He's thought about it. But they're not human anymore. Once they turn, they're, they're zombies. You're on a date. It's you and your girl. You're at a steakhouse. And you think,

damn, like if a dude came in here with a gun, how am I supposed to defend myself? Oh, 100%. I think about that everywhere. See, I think about that everywhere I go. And if I have a fork and I, see, that's what we're talking about. I got skills.

I feel like girls don't, I feel like girls don't think about shit like that. I don't think so. And then they don't think of like scenarios. I think that's how it is. Why is that so funny? There's something beautiful about the innocence of, and the beauty of women is that they see the good in things. They're not fucking horrible humans like we are.

It sees the good in me somehow. I'm fucking farting. I'm fucking farting. Wait, so is it worse for, obviously you would think that about your parents. Yeah. If someone did something to them, like you would retaliate or you would do. I would, I don't know. It's not the same though.

It's not the same. I can imagine. For a daughter, it would be even worse. For a daughter, you just. And I have a daughter. But if it was a son, I think that there was the same thing. Like when there was this one case and it just got fed to me on my, on TikTok, this one guy is on the phone. You can see the guy, some pedophile got released from court.

They said you're dismissed. when he was walking by all the cameras are on this on this thing and on the side of the camera you see a guy on the phone by the time that the pedophile gets to where the guy on the phone is you see the guy turned around into the camera and blast the pedophile who molested

his kid what you saw that shit right big tea there is a fucking video and he beat it he beat that case he beat it it was a while ago yeah beat the case yeah it's on camera that he killed a guy that molested their kids right

there's another there's another instance that's insane is that not insane wait did the pedophile beat the case yeah the pedophile beat the case which is why he killed oh so not the guy got the guy got off too no way he didn't get first I don't know that's what I'm saying did he get off

no he murdered he shot him in the head with a fucking revolver magnum and there's video of this it's just one of those things I feel like I don't know I feel like if somebody messes with your mom or somebody messes with your daughter those are the most severe. In my opinion.

That's a man, but if you're a woman, no one messes with your little boy. That's true. That's true. Like Mama Bear. Like Mama Bear, exactly. I don't know. That's how Game of Thrones starts. Is it?

Maybe I do got to watch it. Maybe I do got to watch it. I don't know. Or starts, actually. Starts and ends. What the fuck? I just, sorry. It's ruin now.

Mama's boy. La la la la la la. That's not how it starts. That's how the game of, that's how Game of Thrones starts. That's what you were... Episode one. Episode one?

Yeah. I thought that was like a little bit in. Episode one, when that had, when Brian gets kicked, thrown out the window, you're just like, oh my fucking God. No. Well, it starts with fucking incest. It's just like, it's just like war, zombies, incest, kids almost dying. It's just like, it's the best. What a show.

Kids die. I think, I think right now I could rewatch it. and I think I would have forgot most of it. Did you watch the dragon thing, the house of the dragon? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Really good. Amazing.

I like it. Think about it. When was season one of Game of Thrones release? That's like 10 years of the ability to forget. 2009, maybe. The question is, when did it end? Even still, I probably, I forget shows like in movies three years after I watch them, like a year after I watch it. 2019, I think?

2011. Yeah, that's been 11 years. Big time we're showing H the, yeah. Holy shit The thing is like if he misses He hits somebody Behind the camera or behind the camera's camera or so Because there's those people taking

You know what I mean That's fucking Did he run or is it just like my job's done No he dropped the gun Put his hands in the air But also So in May 2019 It's how many years has that been

It's like four years? 23 four years So like in five years I'm gonna watch this again And I'm gonna awesome And the good thing is that obviously we have House of the Dragon that's going to be going on hopefully for the next four years. So imagine a young person that's growing up,

imagine you, you can, you should wait until House of the Dragon ends so that you can watch it in chronological order. Probably end up will. That. Watch it. Wait, what's Game of Thrones?

Watch it. Wait, what's House of the Dragon? It's like a hundred, 196 years before. It's so fucking good. So good. Anyway, Thank you so much for tuning

into the first episode of the 2023, the Jordan year. I wish everyone. We didn't talk about any of our topics, by the way. No, it's all good. We free balled that. Yeah, we did. If you guys want to know,

Ronaldo's fucking rich again. And then everything else is kind of sad. Yeah, rest of peace. Ken Block, legendary rally car driver. And also a co-founder of DC shoes. Like this guy had cultural impact beyond what you could imagine. The amount of things that can be traced back

to this guy's brain is insane. So really, really. you know really tragic death but i will say this this dude died doing what he loved doing he died on a snowmobiling accident doing the shit that he loved he pushed the limits he lived fast and that's what he did and that is the only way to go in my opinion fuck dying uh of cancer riddled in in bed go skydiving go fight sharks go fight bears if you're if you're if you're go fight sharks yeah that's what i would do i would dare do that fuck it man go out go out fighting One thing we have a we are going to have a couple of a cool drops this year as usual obviously

Congratulations to the boys over at Good Good who just announced their partnership with Callaway fucking insane partnership good for them and one last thing the the optic nation this year is going to be the best Hitch and I were earlier talking about how nowadays everybody that produces content attaches a monetary value to it and the days of creating content because it's good and allowing the money to come to that content isn't as prominent as it was. This year, right?

When I bought Optic back last year, I said that our merch was going to be the best that's ever been because we're only going to release the shit that was fucking dope. Fun. Hockey? Why do we,

was any business of us doing any hockey jerseys? No, but we're doing it because we're fucking Preci-meil. Have you seen this? Nah. It was crazy. It was already broken. I want one.

Oh, shit. I thought you broke. I want that one. Just kidding. Okay. But anyway. This next year we're going to do as much as we can to create content that is fun. One of the things that I'm doing is I am going to take Omens and my other friend Revise, who's a chef.

Roger had a chance to try his food in Chicago. He owns a restaurant called Kimski. He's a graffiti writer. My boy, Omens is a graffiti writer. He's the one that designs the majority of the stuff. But we're going to start a food series, a food show where we start in El Paso, Texas, which is Rosborn. And then we're going to come all the way to Dallas. And then we're going to have a barbecue at Seth's house where everybody's invited.

Incredible food. I didn't even flinch. We're going to fix our grill first. We'll fix that. We'll take care of it. Anyway, Optic Nation, new content, fun content. That's the goal this year. That's the goal this year.

So we'll see you guys next time. Goodbye.
