I'm growing tits. Tony has tits already. I am in the process of growing them. Hector, where are you at? I've had them. You've had tits. So we're two for three on tits. I'll be joining the crew soon.

100% conversion ratio. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Optic Podcast episode 177, brought to you by Rocket Money, Better Help, and Veryheel. Today, special episode as directly after this, we're walking right into that building to catch Mads Veri's version. Mavs versus Wolves game four Yes Mavs and four

I actually did they're in one tonight too I mean they look unbelievable May I may I say something Yeah Look I'm not saying It's because of optic But look at the quinkinck

We step We step on the field At the Rangers for our collab For our night Guess what happens They win They win the World Series Listen we're not counting our chickens here

But it's pretty safe I'm confident Mavs not only in four, but Mavs in five, in five, in five against the Celtics? Against the Celtics. The Celtics is sick. The Celtics Road has been just so much easier.

Yeah, so easy. They have not faced adversity. We played the West. Everyone in the East was hurt. No, they were all hurt. Milwaukee was hurt. The Heat was hurt. The Knicks were hurt.

Like literally everyone in the East was hurt. And then they played the Pacers in a conference final. What was the Pacers? The Sixth seed? Come on, bro. Yeah. Pacers didn't look like they were ready for the task, man. No.

Now, the Pacers look good until like the fourth quarter of every game. And then they just fucking threw. Now, Boston Dallas is sick, though. And then you also have the stars who are most likely going to the cup at. I wouldn't say most likely, but up to one against the Oilers. And I feel like team to team, the stars, everyone's saying the stars have more depth. The Oilers have McDavid, who's the best player in hockey, undoubtedly unanimously. But the stars are, dude, they have Wyatt Johnston, 21-year-old stud.

Robertson hat trick last night. So the stars look good. It's a fucking, it's a crazy time in Dallas right now. There's literally an excuse every single day to do something. Let's go to a sports bar. Let's go to the game. Let's go do this. And I'm just like, dude, I literally cannot.

I can't drink anymore. I'm growing tits. They are fucking. Tony has tits already. I am in the process of growing them. Hector, where are you at? I've had them. You've had tits.

So we're two for three on tits. I'll be joining the crew soon. 100% conversion ratio. But mine is literally because I just eat. I just love eating. Nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong. You got to enjoy it.

Listen. What am I going to do? Been married for 21 beautiful years. 21 beautiful years. And then we step on the field in Italy in Torino for the field of the Juventus. And guess what happened with Juventus? They win the Copa Italia. They won the Copa Italia.

And then we have a Mavs night. And what's happening? happening. We're on the road, baby. We're on the way. It's crazy. He really is. Listen, I didn't want to say this. I didn't want to say it. And we were having this conversation. We're allowed to be, well, I'm allowed to be a Mavs fan, a Starz fan with no, a Rangers fan with, I have all the immunity in the world. Yeah, why? Well, football is you.

We've lived here. We've done collabs with them. I mean, everything is pointed to us becoming fans of these teams. A thousand percent. Besides the Cowboys, Go birds. Let the record show. Men. Go birds go, go, go fly, hi. Listen, I would never wear another baseball team's hat ever, unless I lived there for seven years, and they did a collab with yours, true.

You know what I'm saying? So I'm a Rangers fan. Period. And then here, Mavs, I haven't been a fan to the Bulls since the last dance came out. You know, that organization needs some repenting, some apologies need to go out to the fans. What's super dope is the market's also still in.

Back office to get in the way of a fandom like the Chicago Bulls 90s fandom. And this allowed for them to experience yet one more championship because they could have. For Pete. But no. Back office, they had to have their say. Since that came out, you were like, I'm done with them? Yeah, the way they treated Jordan, no way. If Hector ever came out and treated Sethi the wrong way, you guys have the right to be mad at me.

Sure. But no. I'm retired. Yeah, but you know what I'm saying. Or me. Or yeah, or Zinn. Or me. Just guys mistreat me.

Anyway, super psyched about that. I do appreciate the fact that because of the heat that the maps have sort of captured, obviously Luca Donchick being the fucking incredible baller that he is. Like I find myself getting back into the NBA and that hasn't been a thing in over 20 years. Right. You know, the passion that my wife obviously has for the game of basketball. basketball also. Like that also puts me in the mood to continue to watch it. But yeah, I've been more interested in a in a sport that I haven't been interested in since God played in the 90s.

You haven't watched hockey, right? You're not a hockey guy? I used to watch the Blackhawks back at the crib, but no, I haven't. What's sick right now, so obviously us being so close, so Dallas is popping right now, but also Boston, that's a crazy sports market. So Mavs Boston can be crazy. We'll be crazy if assuming Mavs make it through. But if the Rangers beat Florida. And then you have the New York Rangers, which is a fucking New York's probably, I would say the biggest market in sports when it comes to like the way they get about some of their teams, like Yankees, Mets, Rangers. So Dallas, Dallas Rangers will also be sick. Won't be good for our wallets.

Nope. Because we have to, I mean, you kind of have to. I mean, we have to go to at least one cup game and then one, one finals game. There's no way around that. If both teams make it, that wallet. How do you not, how do you not go? It's being open. It's being opened. Listen, but don't cancel last minute because I will cancel too. I'll be like, ah, shit. That was fucked up. Wait, why? No, you backing out was fucked up.

You had an excuse. I was hungover. No, you weren't. Yes, I was. I didn't know that then. See, I wasn't, but so what? Well, if you were hungover, you had an excuse. Me and Tush got problems for at least another week.

Yeah, Tush needs to never come back. Yeah. What the fuck? I thought he was a great, I thought he was great fun. Oh, he is. He's too much fun. He's too much fun. Too much fun.

Too much fun. Got to stay locked in. can't be having too much fun. Ain't shit fun? You know how cool tush is? He looks at me and says, hey, what is this thing? Idiots?

And I said, it's a graffiti food show. And he's like, let me go. And I was like, like, let me come. The next time you go, let me come.

I'll pay my own way. And I was like, what? No. Wait, like you want to come and be on that? Like, you don't even paint graffiti.

Okay, I'll go. Where are you going? I said, this country. He's like, let me go. He's down. I'm like you guys.

We've always been down. I know you just don't invite us. Yeah, we have been down. But also, he doesn't really, he doesn't care as much about his stream as. Whoa. No, straight up. Like, he said that. Like, he just doesn't.

He'll be like, he'll just leave for a week. He said that on stream. He likes living life, man. Yeah, he'll just leave for a week. Like, we don't do that. You did say that. If we leave for a week, the part-timer allegations would be stacked and stacked, and we will be leaving in it for a few weeks.

I'm starting to change, I'm trying to change my mindset. Because, like, for example, like, you know, we're going out of town. actually leave tomorrow. We're going, I mean, huge. We have the Banks First Nade shot 1 v1, the optic X-phase X-100T-Land. That to me, it's like, I think the impact of something like that is far more impactful than like a day of streaming, like if that makes sense. You know what I'm saying? Like just that type of culmination of talent all grew up together. All Banks First Nade, I don't even know who's going to win that one. Well, I mean. Wait, what? Well, it truly does depend on if Banks actually plays before.

If Banks goes in without playing, he's going to be a fucking role. I can tell Matt. Well, yeah, he has, he has, he has, Banks has nothing to lose. Matt has everything. Matt, yeah. And I told him, because we played X Defiant today, he beat me in a co-race by one kill,

and he was just going the whole day. Like, I can't believe you lost to me. The part of me wants him to lose this one now. Is that? Yeah, just so he sees how I felt, because it's the same type of scenario right there. Listen. Have you ever beat Nature on Land?

Beat an H-Shed? Yeah. No, we always teamed together. Did you? Quantick? He wasn't playing, and he didn't play in B-O-1, I don't think. MW-3, he didn't play, and then we teamed together in B-O-2, and then he retired after A-W after the H-B-R. Well, I've beaten him on land.

I beat him on land. Yeah? So don't, so let me sound better than you, an ex-fine. No, you're not. Dude, if I beat him and he beat you in a kill race, What does that mean? No, you're not. All right.

Well, listen, we'll let the, we'll leave, let's agree to disagree then on that one. We have, sorry. We have obviously just announced today, as you guys are watching this, we announced the collaboration or the merch drop with Juventus. That is available on two websites. One, the North American website for all the North Americans and you Europeans who have been dying to get some of this optic merch. It's YuVe. Juve. Juvenus, YuV.

Youve. People get on my ass when I say Juventus. Yeah, well. It's Juventus. Juventus. Juventus. Sorry. If they're on my ass, I've got to be on your ass.

The crew neck is so dope. I know. Juventus logo in the middle, optic, Adidas. Fire. Yeah, that shit does go hard. What you were saying was if you, so if you're European, there's a European site. If you're a European shop that you can get yourself for that way, you don't have to pay an arm and a leg on, on international shipping.

But do go check it out. in the description. That's actually crazy. Like just actually looking at that, like an optic Juventus collaboration. Yeah. It's like obviously all you're like, oh, it's fucking dope. It's kind of like we've been, it's kind of normal because we went there and whatever.

But just like removing yourself from it, just looking at that, like that's an insane collaboration. Like that's literally the biggest team in Italy. Dude, 14 years ago, I was playing Model Warfare 3 in the basement with Natchat before the house. Now look. And now we're doing this and just that's like a blink of an eye and look at this. shit. Not just this. Look at what Seth's where. Look at what you're where. Not just that. Look at the world.

Listen, things are fun, man. When they fall in the place, naturally, they're fun. So yeah. I mean, that was just to circle back for a second. That Juventus trip, probably one of my favorite trips ever. Once again, I cannot wait to go to a football game again because that

level of fandom. You said maybe the Cowboys hero game will be lit, but like that, I've never experienced something like that. I've been to Giants games. I've been to baseball games, Yankees. I still think the Cowboys is way louder. Really? I mean, yeah.

Well, they have 80,000, right? capacity, yeah. Dude. They have an 80,000 person gap on the Juventus Stadium. Yeah. It's insane. It was like 41, I think 41,000 for Juventus's stadium.

It's like 112 or something for a Cowboys game. Is it that many? When you're 80, no. When you're walking the bowl. 90,000. Because like, usually when we go to a Cowboys game, we're usually in the suite with our friends. But like, when you're,

weird flanks. What? Nothing. I mean, no. But I'm saying, like, whenever you're walking the bowl, just like if you're in the concessions, whatever. Definitely. Being in that bowl compared to like being up in a suite, it's, dude, it is so loud. At the end zones, it's like, holy fuck.

So loud. Yeah, that trip was amazing. So make sure to cop it. Juventus X-Optic. Once again, you have the NA site. So if you're in North America, cop it there. And if you're overseas and you're European, make sure to use the EU site for way less shipping rates. Yeah.

So we have phase 100T optic collab coming up. That's going to be a fun time. We take a red eye back Thursday night because we have the watch party Friday, but we also have Halo watch party as well. So the boys are in London for Halo. I personally wish we could have went because it's been way too long since we got the chance to go to London. But at the very least, we'll be watch partying both Halo and Call of Duties. We have a lot of fun shit coming up.

I'm not going to lie. I think when we fly back Thursday night, I think we see. skip Halo Friday morning because it starts it starts at like 9 a.m. Central. I think we skip Halo and just do CDL like regain a day and then because then Saturday, Sunday, we're going to have like literally back to back 12 hour days. Yeah, Saturday, Saturday, Sunday are going to be driving. So I might, I might take Friday off of the halo the pool play. What should shoot from home instead? Yeah, I'm actually thinking about streaming from home Friday and Saturday and then doing it from here Sunday. Wait, what? For the watch parties, I might stream from home Friday, Saturday.

Saturday and then do Sunday here, assuming we're running a breakdown. Oh, so you're saying do Saturday at home too? Do Friday and Saturday at home and not come down down. That's your call? Just to make it easier on us because, like, it's a lot. Well, for you, you're here, but it's your call. It's a lot of, it's a lot of all over the place. Hey, man, you just let me know what the hell we're doing.

Yeah, we'll see. But, uh, exciting weekend ahead, nonetheless. I'm jealous we can't be in London, man. I'm not sure. I think, well, me and you are a little different where like, you like less traveling, I love to travel. Like, whenever I have an excuse. I said me and him are like, you like to travel, but you travel a lot, so like you travel way more than I do.

But any excuse I have to travel, I love traveling. So, like, I would have loved if it was only Hilo because I would have found the way to go to London just to be there. And like, I would have been a mascot. I don't care. I just like the opportunity to travel because I just love seeing different shit. I lost my train of thought. You like traveling HCS London this weekend. The boys are about a waste of fucking trophy.

Cheaky Nandoes. I was going to say our pools actually. So we have sentinels in our pool. who are apparently pretty good right now. They make a roster change. Spartan either left or gets dropped. He goes to complexity. I think it's boo-boo, falcated, lethal.

Precision. Precision is the fourth? We also have quadrant in the pool. So quadrant's also pretty solid. They made changes. I don't even remember their team, but we actually have a pretty exciting pool to kick things off.

So I'm excited to watch Halo. We also have Optic on Saturday and Sunday. We have two matches this weekend, which is obviously, I feel like that's a perfect storm to win a major, then come out and have a two-match weekend. So I'm looking forward to this weekend. Just full-on FPS warfare.

Gerley. Got an exciting week. This is probably one of the busiest weeks that we've had this year. The Italy trip, that was a pretty busy week. But this might take the cake just because there's so much going on. Well, then we have your bachelor party. Then my bachelor party's 10 days after. And then we fly to my wedding like two weeks after that.

And we're there for two weeks. and then 10 days after that we fly to another thing in L.A. Then 10 days after that, I go to Paris with Oakley for the Olympics. It's a crazy stretch. Yeah, yeah. We have champs before that too, right?

Yeah, we have champs before that too, right? Yeah, we have champs. I didn't even mention fucking chance. So it's... Well, champs is here, though. That's here, so it's not like... I don't know when your L.A. trip is, but we have champs here July 18th through 21st.

Yeah, that's 10 days after champs is the other L.A. thing. Oh, okay, okay. Yeah, I miss champs. So, yeah, you have... This is my second time going to L. a week. It's going to be fun, man. I actually love short little trips to L.A.

We're going to be on the fucking move, man. We're on the move. Live from the moon. I don't think this might be my most traveled year maybe. Same too. Well, it certainly feels like that to me. It must be because, yeah, absolutely. Actually, no, because back in the day, like AW in 14 events.

Oh, shit. There was so many events. Oh, wait, never mind then. Yeah. Yeah, that's a lot. But we've been to, I mean, think about it, right? I went to Japan. I went to Mexico just in January.

January and February. January and Boston, listen, let's not go through it, but yeah, we've been everywhere already, bro. And it doesn't slow down. It only gets faster. I love it, man. I fucking love it.

Mr. Beast, have you guys seen that? Mr. Beast talked about his new game show. It's $5 million. $5 million and they need 5,000 contestants. I can't imagine the level of production that's going to have because his YouTube videos standalone are crazily, I mean, just insanely produced. Oh, it's for Prime Video.

Prime video picked it up? Wow. It's like, all right, Prime. How much are we going to give Mr. Bees? Prime says, Mr. B says, I need at least 50 million. They probably gave it to him. And they're like, all right, cool. He's like, well, it's 55 because there needs to be a five that comes, you know, whatever.

I want my fans to get 10% of what I'm making on this deal. Because you have to assume, I mean, for something like this, like his first ever actual, like TV product, I'm assuming all the big players there were, you know, who, Netflix, they all had conversations about it. Like there's no way he's throwing something like this and there isn't at least a conversation if they want to pick it up. 100%. It's probably like a...

It's probably like Apex. Like Hal's team, they probably had multiple orgs going after him. Same thing for Mr. Beast. It's like that's my comparison in our e-sports world. It's like a team of four with no org form and you have like four or five teams that want them. This shit is just way bigger scale. You have them trying to get a Mr. Beast TV show.

No. I wonder what it's going to be like. I want to hop on it. Does he ever be like another squid game? He follows me. I need to DM me to yell, let me on it. He'd probably let you on. Would you give me some PTO if I went on?

PTO, yeah. Get the fuck out of here. Go. The PTO. What is that? Only optic logo on the show, though. Right here on the show now. The center of my tits.

Huh? Right here in the center of my tits. Just OG every episode. I'm just. But okay. But listen, if that happens, you have to also shave the OG logo onto your chest in case they make you do some shirtless. Oh, I wonder if I actually do that.

I actually probably could do that. You could have someone line you up. Go to Toura. Tour will handle that. That'd be filthy. Yeah, that's fucking sick. I'll tune in. I'll see.

I'll tune in. If I don't like it, I probably won't watch the whole thing. But if it's cool, I'll watch it. I'll give the first episode a good chance. I'm watching it just to support another YouTuber do that stuff, but I probably won't finish it. Yeah, I mean, if I like it, I'll finish it. If I don't like it, I'm not going to force myself. Yeah, it's not like the new.

what's that the hungry what's it called the games squid games yeah the squid games the new season's coming out I have no wait really when I don't know but I have no interest in watching that is it really isn't it no interest man isn't there a second season the first squid game took over the world for a bit because it was like the perfect time it was like I think it was right as the COVID stuff was ramping down I think and then everybody watched that show it came out the perfect time and then Halloween was coming right up so everyone for Halloween was like game like dressed up as like a squid game character oh wow

December. See, like, I have no interest. Damn. Really? Yeah, I don't know why. I thought the show was good. I mean, I think we, this summer for TV, don't get, we're going to stop talking TV after this because I won't stop. We have the boys, Severance, House the Dragon. Haven't watched it. Have watched it. The bear. Have watched. So we have like, we have like the big four of TV right now coming back because those are like four of the most popular shows on TV, especially Severance because Severance has been

so. Severance is the. Wait, Severance is good? Oh, it's good. Haven't watched it. It's filming to my hometown, too. A place called Bell Labs. Dang. It's, dude, it's, that's an unreal show because they ended the first season. You got to watch it.

You'll love it. They ended the first season like, whoa, whoa, whoa, to make you itch for the second season. That's all, you're saying? You were there scratching? Yeah, I can't wait for it. Yo, let me ask you this, though. Have you seen the Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare? No, yeah.

No, you told me to watch that. I'm watching Curb Your Enthusiasm right now. Oh, it's good. That's good shit. Oh, it's good. Some of the best shit. That's what I imagine Hutch to be like when he's that age. Larry David?

Yeah. He's great. L.D. You like Leon? I love Leon. Leon's the man. You met Leon yet? I don't think so.

I'm watching Start to Finish. I'm on episode like 7 or 8. The first season? Yeah. Oh, dude. Yeah. It took me way too long and start it. Yeah.

Yeah, we have a great summer for TV coming up. People in the comments section, people watching this. Ministry of Ungentlemanly warfare. It is by none other than the greatest director of all time. No, I'm not talking anyone besides guy freaking Richie. It's got Thad Castle on it?

Does he? Yeah, Thad Castle. Look at him. Who? Thad Castle from Blue Mountain State. That's it. That guy? I can't even take him serious.

He's like John Steiner. I watched him in Richard and he's like this fucking six, eight. He's like a walking block of concrete and I can't see him as anything other than Thad Castle. Dude.

Have you seen BMS? Oh, my God. It's like the Rock. I can't see the Rock as any character besides the Rock. Dude, he is hilarious in this. He is? Oh yeah, no, he's hilarious in BMS.

He's so good. Anyway, highly recommended. It's fun. It's clever. And most importantly, it is based on a true story. Taken right out of Winston Churchill's recently 2016 uncovered documents. Really? Personal diaries or some shit.

Wow. they say I'm not gonna I'm not gonna ruin that's all you get that's all you got you should watch it based on a true story

definitely go check that out anyway so we have we have a couple of of things that happened this morning we wake up did you get woken up

by the insanity well I heard I slept like shit because of it I hate when I like a good thunderstorm but when it's like that I hate it

like dude it's just it sounded like there could have been a tornado outside our sirens went off. Yeah, no. I heard, like, 5.30.

I heard sirens here, and then I also heard a lot of hail hitting the balcony. So it was just like hail on the metal, and I was like, what the fuck? And just like, I don't know, I'm in like a skyscraper, so I'm like, however many floors up. Yeah, it's bad out there. I'm just shitting myself. I'm just like, in this building with Stan, like, have you seen this stuff? What is this?

This is the. Oh, hell no. Oh, hell no. Dude, look at what my brother wrote. Of course. My brother is in the fucking comments. Why the fuck is he in the comments? He's in every comment of everything that's posted anywhere on the internet.

That's hard. Very inappropriate some of the stuff, but. Yeah, he is way funny. Yeah, dude, the flooding here is crazy. Yeah. I didn't realize, well, it's all flat. I just, the water is nowhere to go. Yeah, I got a text this morning.

It said flash flood warning. I texted fucking page and Hector. I said, well, we don't, we're still trying to run the pod right now? Look at this. This is like... This looks like Hurricane Katrina. But then you walk outside three hours later and it's like nothing ever fucking happened.

Nothing ever happened. Like, it doesn't make any sense. Or Sandy is what I'm thinking of. But yeah, I slept like shit. Sirens went off. I looked outside. He's there again. The rain was moving in a circle.

There he is again. The rain was moving in a circle outside my windows. Yeah. We went to the basement. It was just fucking. It was mayhem. It was mayhem. I don't like storms when they get that stormy.

When it's just a nice calm thunderstorm, it's raining a little bit. You know, the thunder, even at the thunder's loud, I don't care. I just hate whenever the wind picks up. Dude, it was. And there's hail. And there's. And there's.

Once you got to start, like, looking at a radar to, like, see what's going on, that's, you know, like, it's, it's a problem. Like, once you're looking at radars, you're getting texts, like, hey, is that storm near you? That's when you're like, come on, man, fuck. And also, all the surrounding areas, like, tornadoes everywhere. Oklahoma. Dude, Max Velocity. Shout out that channel.

Max Velocity. Have you guys been watching that on YouTube? No. Dude, Matt, you've seen Max Velocity, right? Not even when you were fucking setting up my stream station? Yeah. You got in the basement this morning? Wait, you were in the basement?

You read to the basement when they lost one off? Yeah. That's what you're supposed to do. The sirens go off. You're supposed to go to the safest part of your house, and that's the safest part. I'm fucking sprinted down there. I was like, Buzz, come on! Wait, what about is?

Too dumb ass. What about is? Yeah, of course. You thought he went out alone? She's got legs? You know what I? Carrie, you know what I did? She got likes.

I fucking, I got up like the Undertaker from my bed. I'm like, do. Dude, same. And I was like, I looked around. All I heard was, the wind's going crazy. I grab my phone, of course. I go outside and I record. Like typical fucking this day and age moron out there recording.

That's exactly how I was. I heard the sirens and I'm like, uh, max velocity. I know what's up. Have you been seeing things with the whales? I saw this on TikTok last night. Let me finish. Oh, sorry. Go ahead.

No, no, no. Don't apologize. I forgot to say the most important part. Max Velocity had like 38,000 people. Bring it up. He's live right now, I bet. Live right now, how many people? 10,000.

Earlier, he had 38,000. This guy's praying for tornadoes. Bro, tell me one, tell me he's, yo, listen. He's sad. He's praying for tornadoes. Turn it up. And another weather channel had a hundred and 28,000 people watching live. This guy as...

Dude... Listen to his voice. And tell me he's not related to Matt Craig. I don't think this will continue past this point. As long as this storm activity just all merges together, it's probably going to be a pretty low chance. It will kind of kill off that tornado potential. Where's this guy based out of? I don't know, but he's loving it.

That's my payment. He's always counting favors, bro. Always. He remembers it. I bought the bottle after our win in Toronto. And he was like, I'll get you back at some point. Okay, explain the back story.

You have an account that you can only use in Toronto. He can only use it there. That's still my money, though. I can transfer it over. I truly use it in Toronto, though. Oh, that's different. I could, I mean, I could transfer it, but then I got to pay tax on it. So I use it once a year in Toronto, I go shopping and I buy food.

There's a limit, though. There's a thousand dollar limit a day, I think. So one time I got the client of the coffee shop when we were there. and I was I would and they didn't accept Amex either so I was literally fucked they already made by coffee and the guy next to me thankfully nice guy was like I got you I was like thank you bro can I send you money he goes no it's a coffee I was all right

And I said, what the fuck? Now, he was also being a dick bag. Yeah, he's being a dick bag about it. And then he was talking about me to other people that were like other gamers that were there. And they were like, yeah, this Italian kid, blah, blah, blah. Try getting his boys in. And I'm like, and then they told him because they were like, well, one of two things. One, he definitely knows the owner.

Number two, they just won the tournament. So like, it's a pretty big night for all those people. But we went back to my boy spot and had a great time. but just one of those guys who it's like, I understand doing your job. If you can't let someone in because they're wearing a certain thing, I'm not going to be like,

fuck you. But if you're going to be a dickhead about it instead of just being like, hey, sorry, then you're an asshole. He was being a douche. Was it your pants or was it the shoes? It was pants. I don't know.

I kind of agree with him. No, but it's not. He's been a douche about it. It's not, yeah. It's not that he did it. Oh, he's it's being a prick about it? He's being like a power trip fucking. Did anybody call him out on it?

That's my favorite thing to do. He said he was like, I'm a text the owner right now. The owner didn't respond. Well, he was probably sleeping. It was like 1 a.m. Unless he was out, I mean, I wasn't going to blow the guy's phone up. But like, you know what someone just catches like a tone with you? Like just an attitude for no reason.

It's out trying to enjoy our night. Yeah, few and far between because they fucking know better. Power trip. Yeah. Piss me all. Yeah, we ended up having a great night. Yeah, we had a better time at the other place. They got our, they got our cash.

Oh, it was a problem. What was the name of that? No, no, you can't talk. Yeah, that's your voice for your spot. It's my first spot. Anyway, so we hung out. Actually, they got Zinny's cash. Dude.

Huh? They said they got our cash. Let me clarify. They got Zinny's cash. They did get my cash. So we obviously, as we mentioned earlier, we're about to go see the Mavs play game four, winning in game four,

4-4-0, the Minnesota Timberwolves. But two games ago, the Scomper jumper, through a get-together, which is where the hangover came from. One for the ages. One for the ages.

Oh, and I did it with the players. Yeah, you did. But we haven't done one collectively. No. So I did it with the players and we talked about. obviously, their experience. But our experience was,

we had a lot of fun in Toronto. We had some great, some great restaurants this time. Great, great city. Besides that one moment at the end. Great city. There's something about Toronto.

I think you said it where it feels like home, where it's like, if I personally could move all the optic there, I would snap my finger and go. You can walk home at 2.30 a.m. and feel fine. You're happy to walk wherever you want at 2.30 a.m. There's water.

There's beautiful parks. There's water. The cuisine. Well, there's like lakes. You don't. I mean, like water close enough to where you can go for a run or a walk on the water. I'll get in the winter, boats and hose. It gets, it's like Chicago.

So like you experienced Chicago winter. Toronto winter can be pretty brutal. I've never, I mean, I don't really. But it's not anything crazier than Chicago winter or Jersey winter. I mean, I've experienced Chicago winters. It's tough. I've experienced suburb winters, not the city winters. Did you know that actually I read, I remember I was watching something recently that 90% of

Canadians actually live more south than the most northern people in the United States? Same with China. They live the most west. Like 90% of Canadians live under the people that live at most north in the United States because it's like Toronto, Montreal. Listen, I, anytime, any excuse, Toronto is like the place that I would. Then you get into. Labrador. I need no excuse to go to.

I'm going to invite myself. You should do an idiot's or some type of food show around all of Canada. So you hit Vancouver, you hit Edmonton, you hit Toronto, and then we come down to Buffalo and eat some wings and call today. What's the best city in Canada? People argue Montreal over Toronto. Ooh.

The AMDOTX. People argue. Well, there's different things. So politically, Toronto is like controversial in the sense of like the way the city's ran and shit. So a lot of people say it like because of that. Wait, is it like Austin is very liberal? Yeah.

I mean, Trudeau, I haven't met one person that actually, I don't know anything about politics, but pretty much everybody there doesn't like who runs Toronto in that area. But you have Vancouver Which Drake ran Toronto I'm confused now Yeah You know

Wait Sorry continue So Vancouver Is what I would consider I never been there But like from the way people describe it It's kind of like

The LA of Canada Is the way I would consider Vancouver Then you have Toronto Which is like Kind of like the New York City Like that's so you have East and West Coast Then you have Montreal

We've been to Montreal For like a tournament Like once I went there once For like two days It was all snowy I don't think I've ever been to Montreal I didn't even

I didn't even People love Montreal I've been to Niagara Falls My only thing is like just based on, it's very French Canadian there, and the French don't like, don't like terrorists. Like the French aren't, the tourists. They do not.

I can second that for me. Does that sound bad? Tourists, sorry. I thought you said terrorists. No, tourists. But I thought I heard that day. I don't like them either. Yeah, no, the French are like Toronto.

Toronto's like many New York City, I think. It's New York City cleaner and less anxiety is the way I would describe it. And then Montreal, they're a little bit meaner. but I do want to go to Vancouver really badly. Listen, I've never been to any of those places, so I cannot. And somebody can tell me just like shit, but until I experience the shit, I'm not going to call it shit. But the real place, Mac, you look at Banff, B-A-N-F-F. The real places I want to go to are places like this.

Like people that live in Canada go to these places for like mini-vacations or they go to a cottage, and it's just some of the most beautiful, like, look how beautiful that place looks. Uh-huh. Yeah, that looks dope. I want to retire in a place like that. I think going there would be amazing. Snowy? Yeah, mountains, snow, pine trees.

Really? Or, or somewhere in Mexico. Look at that. You just want to smoke some weed and look at a mountain, man. I just want to smoke some weed and look at nature. You're right. Fish, maybe. Imagine smoking a jay, looking at that.

Yeah, I imagine it all the time, skumper jumper. That'd be pretty fucking pimp tight. It would be so pimp tight. Or that one below it. Yeah, I think this is where, what's his name, Matt, the last shot or the bucket shot, the bucket list shot. Peter McKinnon shot an excellent video on this view right here

took one of the most gorgeous pictures ever made coffee with that water Peter McKin is the man See places like this That's why I want to start like IRL streaming Or like actually have a vlog do well

Because then you can go do shit And still be working And like you don't feel like You're not working When you're doing shit like this Yeah Like this just looks You know speaking of that

I've been trying to justify it in my head To go to Mexico like within the next two weeks to go tried, Matt, look up the Michelin Star taco stand, El Caifan. A Michelin star was just awarded to this taco place. And listen, if you're from Mexico City, if you're from the old D.F. Liva.

Yeah, you know, that's how it's good. All right, look, all right, scroll up a little bit, Matt. New York Times, local favorite to Michelin. Okay, I'm sorry. A Mexican taco stand goes from local favorite to Michelin Darling. Takaria al-Cai fan de Leon in Mexico City became the first Mexican taco stand to win a Michelin Star. Since then, it has been deluged with customers and fame.

How far is Mexico City from where we're going for the bachelor party? Oh. One hour? Oh, really? I mean, we could, if we wanted to make that work. No, it's like a fucking nine-hour drive, maybe. I don't feel. Oh, shit.

That's not going to work then. But here it is right here. See, right there. You see that guy right there riding that bike? Yeah. Is he selling chicharrones? What is he said? Whatever it is that he's selling.

I see some Gatorade in there, I think. No, there might be some of Mike. Is he parked out front of the Michelin Star Taco Spot selling? Listen, listen, hustle, hustle, hustle. You're waiting in line. Why don't you have this botan? I want you have this appetizer right here. Hell yeah.

Yeah. So I am looking for any. excuse to go out there to go try this. The simplicity of the meat, apparently the secret sauce is literally in the sauce in that red salsa. But look at it. Speaking of good tacos, how were the ones that I made for the for the Getsu'all? Oh man, we forgot to mention that. So Hector, Hector shuffed up like five pounds of meat for the boys. Ten. Ten pounds? Was it ten pounds of me? Keep on. Keep on. He also makes these, this chorizo and refried beans mixture. So he mixes the chorizo with the refried beans.

It's like the perfect base layer. It's nice. Then Hector's mom is gracious enough to make two homemade sauces. Very spicy, which I love. And then, what's it called? What's the cheese called? Wahaka. Wahaka cheese.

So yeah, you got the nice corn tortilla. He actually picked them up from Blue Goose, I think. So corn tortilla. Man, you want to snap. refried beans chorizo Blue Goose makes their shit in-house I also picked up the meat from Blue Goose There was no Arracheta anywhere

And I was gonna buy 10 pounds of Aracheta for 18 people Yeah, I wouldn't have told anybody that See I'm gonna tell you why Because you've had the meat It's hard to fuck up So whatever The salsa and the beans is what literally brought That flavor to that place

Like you could have any meat were to shredder or burger meat in that and still would have had the same as that. So the reason that I didn't grill was because there was no Rada anywhere because it was Memorial Day weekend.

So I went out and bought three pounds. They're starting to get going out there. Yeah, it was only three pounds of art chera. Three pounds of meat, Seth. That was three. We ate a lot. There was nothing.

We were about to get 10. I was going to buy 10. The good thing about tacos is I don't feel guilty after eating them. As long as I have corn tortillas and like, if I'm not throwing crazy amount of cheese, I feel I feel good after eating some street tacos. I feel like the thing is with us, though, is that we had already drank so much before you got there.

Because like, so I didn't know. Tush and Blake got there like, like, no bullshit, 45 minutes after the pickleball thing. So I like just got out of the shower. I was picking up the, picking up some shit around the house, trying to make the house look as presentable as possible for. everyone coming over. Like, as I finish doing that, they're knocking on the door. And I was like, what the fuck?

Yeah. It's 4 p.m. So naturally, we all crack a brusky. So we started- Naturally. Naturally. I started late. I mean, boys were there. We got in the pool, you know, immediately.

You guys had a pool day? Yeah, yeah. We were in the pool before. I mean, it was just, they got there so early. And I think that's one of the reasons why I just snowballed. Because I had been drinking before I ate. Here's where it snowballed. We played a game called Rage Cage at like,

midnight we probably started or like 11. I don't know. So to end the night, so they were drinking all day. I started like at 8 p.m. because I was trying not to drink and then I eventually caved. He broke into my blanins. Yeah, and then I went, I shot gunned to beer and then I had three glasses of blanens. But like respectable pores, I didn't fucking really.

I mean, it's halfway gone. You guys drank half my- It was not opened. Andrew was drinking as well. You guys drank half my blan's. So I can get your bottle if I can find one. So we had some whiskey. but you guys are drinking all day

casually. Then we played Rage Cage which if you don't know I learned to have played on this night it's Stack Cup but with like some added things where like There's a death cup. If you make it in first then you can move your cup wherever so you can essentially screw someone over

nonstop as long as you can keep making it in so we each took turns getting blasted and I probably had to drink five in a row and we destroyed Andrew once with like nine in a row and then there's the bitch cup And then you lose, and if you lose the last cup, you have to take a shot. So I think you lost one or twice. And it was just, A.G.

Dude, A.G. called me earlier. He was like, you know, let's set up, let's set up rage cage for the game. And I said, bro, no. I'm not fucking playing rage cage before the game. We can't show Rodman those types of things. We can't show him those types of things. He was loving it. He was loving it.

Dennis Rodman. It rises to the occasion, that boy. Oh, yeah. He was loving that shit. And I loved that for him. It was a very fun night, but yeah, definitely. Mistakes were made. Yeah, not me, man

I just Drinking has never been a thing of mine And it's certainly not It's not It's not that I'm older Well, it's fun until you wake up in the morning And you feel disgusting At 36

When I started saying the 36 year old phenom I think it was because Like I was like I'm not a young phenom I can just drink And I just have the 36 year old Phenna That's when it was Bro, it's just like a three day hangover

Like it's not So I just stopped Not worth I remember I had to pick up Shazam A night after, oh my God. Ugh. Oh, you're getting flashbacks now, man. Yeah.

I puked in the grocery bag in the back seat. And then he, we wrote in it. Oh. All the way back to the scuff house. I. Gross. Yeah, lesson to all you out there. Drink responsibly.

Drink lots of water. Don't drink. How about that? What is this? Last topic. Let's close that out on this very peculiar. What is this Legal Legend Skin? Faker Collection.

34. What is it? They actually honor their goats, which is weird as to why I have not been honored in Call of Duty. That is weird. So let me get this straight. How come it doesn't lose? Like, is that his, like, explain this to me? I thought it would be his skin.

Oh, it is. I wish I could help you. Well, it's an Ari skin, which is a mid lane, which is what he uses, I'm assuming. He's probably his signature legend. I don't know if that's his most used, but Ari's like one of the most popular midlains. And I don't know much about league at all. I think I know that. Yeah.

But Ari's pretty frequently used. I don't know the thing about this game. Anyway, are people getting outraged because it's $4.34? They probably think it's cheap. They worship him in that country. Yeah. And players aren't happy about it. Okay.

So, yeah, players are not vibing with them? Wait, why are players? Now, players are I talking about like his peers, professional players? I'm talking about players that's in the public. I don't know. Listen, bottom line is, it's like, hey, there's something out there that costs $400. You can get it or you can not get it. Well, yeah, but they just want it.

They just want it. So it's like if it's that, that's pretty expensive for a skin. I will say, I wouldn't buy that. Okay, but I will say this is where a lot of people make those mistakes. They don't give the tiered opportunity for people to get something in that range. You know what I'm saying? Like have like a starter edition. Yeah, like ramp it up to something.

Perfect example is like our varsity jackets. We had two jackets that were like 250 or 300. And then there was the one that was 450 was the leather. Like it was worth leather. We made no money on that. It was literally something cool that we made because we made it. So they should have also had something that was a little bit more accessible and kept the 434 for the super diehard that are willing to spend that much money. I like that.

Right? Yeah. for everyone, man. Equity. Damn. The revenue generated from the weapons will go to Faker as well, at least 30%. Good. Good for him, man. You know what? No, no, no. Good for him? Fine. Good for riot.

Good for fucking riot to do that for their players who have done so much for their game that has allowed for the game to be as popular in some places as otherwise wouldn't have been unless a player of that magnitude. up. Do you know what I'm saying? I'll do it for 10%. The last podcast. I'll do it for 2% motherfuckers. I swear to God, I'll do it.

Oh, man. Well, I'm supposed to get a skin. They won't give you the real numbers, though. I was supposed to get a skin. Y'all know that story if you've watched the podcast. But what are you going to do? What are you going to do? What are you going to do?

All right, ladies and gentlemen, that is going to do it for this episode of the podcast. I hope that you guys enjoy it. Please do remember to leave a like without. before you leave. Sorry, people started walking in. But that's how I do it for this episode. Thank you. Any close in comments, gentlemen? Nope. Go Maps. Thanks for watching. Go Maps. Go Stars.
