You guys are pro players. We played a 74 and O team last night. Yeah. They're so bad. Welcome, welcome to the Optic podcast, episode number five, your usual suspects. Today we have a big-timer, Mr. Seth Skump, I. Abner. And, of course, the prince of Persia, Mr. Dilan. Prince again, two-piece.

Damn. Is that give me like that? Is that true? recently. Yeah. You've been getting to a piece or you have... A little bit. The whole squad's been getting pieced up.

Oh. Not you, Seth? Yo, how do you keep on top of your games like all throughout all these years where you don't get peace? Everybody else, but you don't. Not going to the gym. Ah. Bates as teammates? Healthy habits.

This is anything like... I said Bates as teammates a lot. That's probably... Oh, yeah. I'm going in first every time. For sure. Well, you have to. You have the best reflexes because of your youth.

Oh, the men and I stop. The minute I lose my job. The minute you stop what? Bating my teammates. You think? You don't stop. And I'm very manipulative. I say, I'm going in first.

I'm not going in first. No. I'm going in first. You just show up and what I was first. You weren't. No. No. They don't.

They don't know the difference. No? No. They're moving here. You're excited? Thank God. Holy shit. What?

You think, is that that big of a difference? Yes. Yes. Yeah? What the connection or what? Just every day, there's always something. I'm getting joked. I can't kill him.

I'm like, no fucking shit. They're all four Texas. Yeah. Now, we had like a little talk about it yesterday. It's like, I understand like people are getting like, we're all getting jokes and stuff. Like they're going to be here in two weeks. Like we just got to like stop complaining about it and just try to get better. Like there's nothing we can do to stop it.

But like. And that's what that's, I mean, it's been frustrating me because it happens every day. Like we'll play one scrim that we'll be at a connection disadvantage. and we just won't get good practice because of it. So thank God. You're happy? Yeah. I wish they were here earlier, honestly.

Well, Christmas and all that. Are you happy that? Well, they could have went home for Christmas. Okay, but you wanted him here already? Yes. Yeah, okay. Well, maybe that was on me. Maybe I should have made the move in December.

Because we knew it was coming. I mean, it's not that big of a deal because the league is a while away. It's still at this point. So, I mean, it's not that big of a deal, but. We'll still get like a month and a half or so, probably before the first event. So how are you guys what's the practice going to look like? Do I have to set anything up here? Are you practicing from home?

What's the deal? Practicing from home. Practice from home. I mean, Matt and Brandon might have to practice here just when they get here. Yeah. That's not how professionals practice though. Just so you know, at some point or another you guys are going to have to practice out of a facility. That's just league rules.

So just mentally prepare yourselves for that because it's like half and half during the week or something like that. Either way. Like I'd be against it. What do you mean? teams will play out of their facilities and practice out of their facilities. When? I don't know. Just, what's it matter?

Just do it. It's your job. You get paid for it. Handsomely, might I add. You got a streaming setup? Yeah. Bro, what? You can't even have any streaming set up.

Do you have a 3080? Yes. Wait, do you have a 3090 like I do? It's on the way. I have a 3090. I need a 3090. I've been trying to play cyberponcom. I don't know.

What was in 2017? I think I got like a 1080 in my shit. How many? How many frames do you get with it? Your 30-90? 120 consistently. It's 120 to 130 consistently. While streaming?

I think it would be a 10-8. And competing at the highest level through game box. I get like 140, 160. And people are saying like that's still, I should be getting more than that. You think? I don't know. I don't know. I think we need to, as soon as this whole thing lifts, we're hiring somebody to come in and set up our, like,

we should we should go to a streamer that has like the good setups, those nerdy-ass ones? And be like, yo, you come in this weekend. We're going to buy you lunch. We're going to hang out. We're going to do some content. Set it all up. All of it. Set us the streaming shit down for us all.

Optimize everything. Yo, you know what? Did you see Mr. Beasts burger thing? Yes, I looked on Postmates. I was trying to order that shit. I was going to do it. You can only do it through Uber Eats. Ah.

Did you see that? Yeah. Did you see that? I've seen it, yeah. Is there one here, though? Bro. There's one. If there's one, there's one, there's one what?

Mr. Beasts Burger. Uh-huh. There's 300 locations in the U.S. Okay, 300 locations in the U.S. Did you hear about this? Yes, I did. Okay. So do you think that there's an actual physical location where you...

I saw a picture and it was very small. First of all, it was like a box almost. I don't know if there's people... Was there? I don't know. Are they cooking burgers inside of it or... You don't understand what just happened. The game was just fucking changed.

The game was fucking changed forever. Like, literal change has just come to the table for the first time ever and I'm jumping on it right away. Okay. Think about... I think here's the genius, okay, behind Reed and all those dudes over there. Fucking genius. Okay. Everybody was ordering their burgers.

I don't know if they were thinking about the implications or what it was. It was actually happened during this incredible moment in Internet time. Yeah. I'm going to cut a deal with Uber Eats. All right, Uber Eats. Here's the deal. My name is Mr. Beas. The 20 million views of video.

Here's what we're going to do. Do you want my promotion? Yeah. All right. This is what I want you to do. I want you to send out a blast email to every. everyone in the world that does business with you with Uber Eats. All right.

I want all the small mom and pop shops that only typically sell locally to some people. Okay. Now here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to send each and every one of them stickers. No chance. I'm going to send each and every single one of them stickers. You already know where I'm going with this. That's what he did?

Yeah. No way. How smart is that? Wait, so the mom and pop shops are actually making and selling the burgers and they're just throwing. Because think about it. A burger. Now, if you're going for consistency and, you know, a big mat. takes like a big Mac

I was gonna say it's gonna be different from every place you order right but does it matter not really no it doesn't right what kind of mayo

do you want on this thing oh I use Helmins what kind of musk uh ketchup Heinz obviously yeah mustard I don't know yeah then meat

I mean condiments is easy then you got meats the meats would be tough yeah the meats are hard like condiments are like half of it though like he literally has like a Mr. Beast burger with his condiments on it

Like people order that one because it's his. Right. That's really what they did, though? I don't know. Oh. I haven't gotten confirmation, but in my brain, the game was changed. Now, whether that's what they're... So you were saying he sent out stickers. Yeah.

So, essentially... So Uber Eats goes to Seth's burgers and fries, right? And they're like, Seth, how many burgers do you usually sell a week? And you're like, I don't know, like 500. I'm like, what if I can tell you that you can sell 1,500 burgers a week from here and out? Yeah. You're going to be like, yeah. please the business is better

you're like all right but you're going to have to split the profit and you're also going to have to call it something that isn't Seth's Burgers and fries and like okay what does that mean he's like well there's a big YouTuber out there that has a massive influence and he wants to set like digital restaurant right drop shipping essentially for for food yeah right I'm hiring you to make my burgers all you got to do is make your burger the way with the ingredients that I gave you and you got to put it wrap it put a sticker on and says

Mr. Beast's Burgess and send it off to give it to Uber. When Uber shows up, they don't say, say, hey, here's the burger from Seth's Burgers and fries. No, they just say, here's your food. That does have to be the way they did it, because, you know, I mean, the logistics of setting up 300 of your own restaurant, like it would never... Yeah.

That would never work. Yeah. I mean, that's the McDonald's type shit overnight. Like, yeah. You can't just set up 300 restaurants. You can't just make mackeys like that. Yeah, but think about it. You can literally... Hector's tacos are coming to a spot near you. Dead ass? Dead ass. I think he didn't just

promote Uber Eats though. I thought his tweet said order from your favorite delivery app. Here's the thing. No, it's an app. You open up the app. It's a Mr. B, it's an application. Right. Okay. And that, no bullshit. When I open Mr. Beast's application, yeah. Look at this, right? Let me record this so I can give this to the. Is there

a cue? A cue? Is it like a queue of people waiting to No. Let's look. Look, all right. So I'm, I'm opening it up. Because there's a burger at the table. Mr. Beasburger. Mr. Beasburger is the app. Allow ones. And then something happened there where it, like, flashed Uber Eats for me, continuous guest.

And then it went to like Dord, I don't know what it went to. But the fact of the matter is that it went to an application that was already a food delivery thing. And I'm like, immediately when I saw DoorDash, I'm like, oh my God, I know what they did instantly. It took no seconds for me to realize. And I set you down. I'm a baby. Look at what they're doing. So genius.

It's do that. And then she's like, huh? And I started to explain it again. And then she's like, yeah, but what about the consistency of the food? And he's like, and she started going super, super micro into the thing. And I'm like, baby, focus on the macro, right? The tip of the ice bread. Yeah, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, 40 people, to be fair, have been complaining about that.

Oh, doesn't matter. Some other YouTube. You know, 40, 40, 40 people returned hoodies that we sold of the founders hoodies because they look like another one. 40 people in comparison to the thousands tens of thousands that bought. Oh, he had to get that off his chest. Whatever. Ooh. We had to say that.

Weird. Weird. Weird. Weird. Weird flex. What? It's your team, too. What do you?

What? you're a part of the scene. What? That's a good point. Yeah. Really smart though. Genius, bro. The game changed. You know what I'm saying?

Like, if you think about it, like, people aren't looking at current day services the way that you should be reinventing these things, man. You know what I mean? Because when you think about it in that sense, it's not just food. I mean, it could be anything. Anything. All you have to do is repackage it. And you as a mom and pop shop who has been there for fucking 10 years. Everybody benefits.

Yeah, they're like, yeah, I don't care. Yeah, as long as I'm selling burgers and I'm keeping my restaurant afloat by selling more burgers or more fries or more whatever, absolutely. All I got to do is that. I would have paid them way more to promote my fucking burger joint. Especially right now during COVID too. All those mom and pop shops are struggling. Now, again, for the record, let the record show. I don't know if this is the business strategy behind it.

I order DoorDash and Uber eats every day. Daily. Every day. Yeah, daily. Anyway, think about that. Right. So if I want, right, all I have to do is like, what are my basic tacos, right? I like steak tacos.

I like aposur tacos and like that. The salsa would be like the only one thing that would maybe differentiate from what it is. I mean, that's probably arguably one of the most important parts of the taco. 50% of it, according to my rankings. Yes. Right? But it's neither here or there. The fact is that...

Salsa's got to be consistent. The fact is, is that all I have to do is reach out to 300, you know, taco places. locally that says, hey, there's going to be orders that are coming in for Hexas tacos. All you need to do is make the tacos and give me a cut of that. That's it. That's it. Here's my sticker. That's it.

Think about, bro. So the game. I was just saying it's so simple. Yeah, the game changed. And I don't think anyone fucking realized it was fucking changing. Did you know that that was happening? Yes, I did. At that level, did you know?

I did not know. I mean, because I watched this video and they actually did have a place they were cooking burgers, but I guess that was the one for the video. Yeah. Well, yeah, how else would they have 300 shops overnight? You just can't. That's not, you can do that. Yeah, people do that shit all the time. He could have invested that much money into this thing and it would have worked.

The fact is just that you don't even need that anymore. 300 shops, though? That's a lot. They fucking changed the game. And it could be a global play too. You know what I mean? It could be a global play because people make burgers in Amsterdam. It's only U.S. right?

Maybe, maybe Canada. I don't know. Probably. I don't know. Probably just that. All I know is that the game was fucking changed. And a lot of people were just like saying, oh, he just did another cool thing. Then now he changed the game.

He opened the door up for people, you know, with a following to have their own restaurants. Zini. Fucking Parmesan, dude. Everybody makes fucking Parmesan. The only reason that I knew is because I looked and I'm like, I looked at the address where it was coming from. When I ordered the burger and I was like, oh, interesting. Interesting. North Italia.

Very close. Yes, I mean, name it. Their chicken parm don't miss. Mm-hmm. North Italia? Yeah. Oh, yeah, no, you're right.

Yeah, yeah. North Italia. North Italia. Bucca di Bepo. Bucca di Bepo is like a little bit... Ass. Yeah. That's the place that only serves

like family stylers? Yeah. Your order small and comes with four chicken cutlets. You eat their garlic bread. You knock out a vampire for the next three days. Oh, bro. It's so bad. Your mouth tastes like garlic for days.

I don't know. Um, anyway, let's, let's get back into Call of Duty. Yeah, sorry, we went off track. No, and not necessarily. I mean, this is obviously a topical conversation. No, but it's dope, though. I mean, that's insane. I mean, he's, well, that's got to be the first YouTuber with food,

a food industry like that within the food industry. Yeah. And again, no, I mean, obviously, uh, epic meal time, right? Harley Mortensen. Well, they didn't have restaurants, did they? No, but neither does fucking Mr. Beast. Yes, he does, though. He does, but he doesn't.

He doesn't own the restaurant, but he owns the, I guess now the, the concept behind his burgers and then that's just so scalable too why stop at 300 yeah what he has to do is just ship stickers to places he could have thousands of places the intellectual property is what the word you're selling your brand is like yo this is my burger right

well your burger sucks don't fucking buy it you know what I mean yeah or order Mr. Bees from this place now was that just like a one day thing though or that's like I have no idea I was I've been so drunk on the idea since it happened

that I haven't thought about about anything or whether or not I had like I reached out to read right his manager and I'm like yo fucking genius and then he's like hi yeah yeah because he even I don't know if he knew that I thought about like the the implicate the whole thing but he's like yeah yeah we you know we saw this and then I was like I'm fucking genius I guess I haven't really asked them straight up I'm like yo is this how you're doing it because I don't want to be like yeah and I'm like yo do my tacos you know well if that's not how they did it then you just gave out your idea of doing and now everyone's going to try to take your idea that's fine

That's fine. It's plenty of rule for everybody. Plenty of room. You got the whole world. You got the whole world. And not just food. I mean, it's literally just taking your brand and attaching it to somebody else's product and selling it everywhere. Scumpy's hot dogs? What would you sell if you had your own restaurant?

Like what is the one thing that you can put your name to? Footlong wieners. Foot long wieners. They're really thin, but they're really good. What are you? Pencil thin but long. Pizza or something? Pizza?

Pizza? What would be your pizza, though? That makes sense. It's like ordered Dillans, ordered Envoy's pizza from Uber eats. He's like my toppings and stuff. He's probably weird.

Probably some like pepperoni sausage, sea salt, garlic. Seasol. Red peppers. Red peppers, all right. I do sweet tea. Ooh, sweet tea, big tea, sweet tea. Big tea sweet tea.

I'm on it. I need to go. Yeah. What would you do? Seriously. Or were you serious about the footlong weaters? No, I wouldn't do that. I would have to brainstorm a little bit.

I mean, I like a lot of different foods, obviously. For me, for me, it's easy, obviously, right? Tacos or a burrito, like a burrito or a tortilla. A torta would be, like, really good, simple. Well, you want it to be, yeah, quick and simple. Yeah. Not like an extravagant dish.

But let's move forward with some Call of Duty. Sure. What do you want to talk about Call of Duty? What are the topics? There's no topics. It's just New War Zone. Have you played it? Yeah, I played it in the New York Sub-Lidern Tournament.

the other day. How'd I go? Did you use the weapons from Blackups? No, I used the MW ones. Because I didn't, like, I didn't have any of them ranked up. Then Mac 10 is what mostly everyone's using now for the sub. And it just came out, like, so I don't have it ranked up yet. So I just used Keelow, MP5, and it still worked.

I mean, it still worked fine. It was dropping 20s, 25s. So it's still the same map, though. Yeah, same. They've now implemented the guns and things, or people are still using the same guns as well. No, people use the Mac 10 now over the MP5. Mac 10 is just. godly.

Oh, it kills so fast. The DMR, too? The DMR, I've seen a couple people using. I mean, other than that, it's still mainly like kilo, A-Mex, and then Mac 10, MP5, you know. Have you been playing any video games besides the fucking race car? I'm playing some Minecraft, actually. Hey, what's up, man? Yeah, we need to do something.

I did get on the thing Jordan was telling us about, the 2B2T, the oldest anarchist. I saw you up. Up, uh, upload that. Yeah. Wait, you went in there? Yeah, I went in there. I literally waited in the queue for like six hours. There's a six-hour queue

I can't even explain it all In this snackable podcast You just have to look it up It's called 2B2T It's like the oldest Minecraft server It's never been reset Since it started in 2010

So it's like It's like the mad max Of Minecraft Hacking is allowed Everything's allowed In the server It's fucking It's crazy

It's crazy Yeah Fuck out of here For real Yeah So what People are flying around And shit like Neo

Yeah People are flying around Unplugged Yeah what that's funny thank you so I've been playing that like the past couple days

but you have it so that's the specific server or just Minecraft in general just that one yeah is it fun yeah can you even do anything on it yeah what can you do

like what have you been done is it the whole world to survive so you're trying to like really escape the spawn the spawn which is fucking destroyed from 10 years of just people playing on it is like 3,000 blocks

long and like it's full of traps and like people fucking with them so like there's never Parderals everywhere, but if you go through the nether portal, people have it, like, blocked off so that you're stuck in it forever. So you have to leave the server and then you have to wait another six hours. So it's just like, it's full of, like, fucking trolls and hackers. It's like one of the dopest Minecraft servers I've played.

Really? That does sound super troll. I mean, that sounds horrible. It is horrible. So why would you even go into a nether portal at that point? I didn't. We learned a lesson. It sounds like, yeah.

So it's like for a newbie that comes in and they see it. it and they go in and then they get just caught it. They've waited like five hours to get in. They're like, yes. That's hilarious. So you just ran. Yeah, I ran for like 4,000 blocks. What did you eat? I don't know, like rotten flesh

or some shit. You just have to make it far enough to like get some wood and then you can finally you know, start to survive and build your own build your own stuff. Dude, imagine it's like I survived solo for 10 years in this place. Yeah. Like somebody with a good, I don't know, I think that's, I

I love Minecraft, obviously, like, that's my shit. Is PVP enabled? Yeah, yeah, with hacks, apparently. So what if you're getting walls? Like, if someone... You just get off and come back on and all your... All your shit could just be gone. It's so hard.

People go out like millions of blocks. It's like nine terabytes of file size. Oh, my God. So they have to go so far out. And there's, like, YouTube videos of the most, like, fucking extravagant bases you can think of that were hidden, like, for years. But hackers finally found it. It's crazy. now general was telling us about it and I was like what are you talking about bro oh he loves that kind of stuff

yeah I love that kind of stuff now too I mean that that sounds super intriguing to me have you did you did you play a war zone uh I haven't played it all yet no since the new update now I played it and I was I we played only about to played in the in the rebirth island right within seconds hutch is like yo yo they're underneath us and I'm like we're on a fucking platform he's no no I can hear them look quiet quiet and I shut out here's the pity patter the little footsteps and I'm like What the hell? Invisible. Some dude was invisible shooting in me. Killing me. Downing me.

Ow. The same thing for Hutch. Invisible dude. Yeah. It's an invisible glitch that's happening. I'm like, I'm out of here. I'd rather play. I rather play S&DGBs because that's like my shit anyway. I'm not playing the shit no more. And then what? No, there is a glitch. No, I'm saying. He just said S&DGB was his shit.

It's my shit. Like he claims it. He hasn't ran to us. What's your record? I've been playing it since. What's your record? How long have you been playing it? Huh?

2006 GBs. What's up? I'm probably around that. No. 2008? Yeah. That's not around. That's two years after.

So my GBs. I know the guys that. What's your record? I don't even winning. Another weird friend. I don't care if you know the guys that built it. Yeah. Well, I care.

That's why I said it. Wait, so is it like an invisibility glitch? Yeah. No, you're invisible. You're like, no one can see you. It's like drinking an invisible potion. You don't even see the little. It's a Harry Potter.

It's a little. winning record. What is it? We're top 1,000. Okay, you're not giving me the record. Because I don't fucking know. Let me look it up. I don't pay attention to that, okay? But yeah, it's not even like hacking. It's literally a glitch. Just a glitch. Yeah. Yeah. Like helicopters or something. Oh, yeah. And then the stem... The stem glitch is back. I've been seeing a lot of

like major war zone players just like, I hate this. Like, you know, they're going to get the anti-cheat. Between that and hacking, it's like... Yeah. I mean, the stem glitch hacking, invisible glitch. You know, there's just a whole lot wrong with Warzone. All because they just don't have the antics. And then you have to worry about stream sniping.

And I don't know. But Warzone was okay when I played it. It felt the exact same. Like it didn't feel like anything changed for me personally because I didn't have the new stuff unlocked. Right. Yeah. I mean, the only reason I don't go back as much

is because I feel like it'd be weird just switching from Model Warfare to Cold Wars Engine. I mean, it's much... You said it's pretty similar. It's much easier to stream war zone than Cold War, because Cold War, you're just playing pubs over and over, and that gets repetitive very quickly. 79 and 50. It's like EFX. Yeah, we see that on the, our roads 100 to no ladder?

We're like, you guys are pro players. We played a 74 and O team last night. Yeah, only 7.1. They were so bad. Oh, my gosh. And then immediately following that, we played a 71 and what, three? 72, 71 and two? They ain't 71 and three no more.

We like 100 point club boats. No, you did. You guys are bullies, dude. That's what I mean. You're on 160 ping the one. Yeah, we're on 160 ping, just bodying them. Yeah, that's a good title, though, too. Why do they not play search?

Why would they play y'all in respawn? That's what they posted. Yeah, they don't know they're except for ours. They didn't know the sharks were in the water. And here we come. So what episode are you guys in on that series? We finished what? Eight, so we're recording nine today?

We're recording nine after this. Damn, you guys are just laughing, just bullying, body, kids. So we have four, we have two episodes each for our channels right now. Imagine being that nerdy? You're like, ha, ha, ha, ha, 74 and one. Wait, so is it 2B2? I mean, they had to have been tight. Bro, yeah, of course they're tight.

You put Gigi's in the chat? Good they don't reply? No, I said Gigi's back, but like, I felt bad for him. Oh, yeah. Like, they are probably going for like 100 or no or something. Yeah, they're resetting it. They're like the reset teams. Like, we always run into reset teams.

There's a silver lining in that, though. What? More YouTube content. You reset? Yeah. You get more videos. Yeah. You know?

Yeah. I guess. I don't know. Like, if we hit Road to a, if we go 100 or no, we're going for 200 or no. Why wouldn't we? Yeah. You just see how far we can push it? Yeah.

Wait, is it 2B2 or 4B4? 2B2. 2B2, yeah. 2B2 response? Yeah. Well, we've been playing. respond and search. Yeah.

So, like, every five... We mixed it up. On our fifth match, we played best of three search. And then... Best of one hard points, mostly otherwise. Best of one hard points. Nobody comes close. Not even close?

No. No. I gotta watch that. Like I said, the 74-0 team, the 100-point club waxed out the lobby. Like, 250 to 60? That was, like, the number two team on the ladder? The number two team on the ladder. It was a best-of-one match?

You know that at some point, like as soon as the video start becoming more and more popular, they're going to know. It's like, when do they record? It's like, I don't know. I was like, when do you record? Don't say it. Oh, it's completely random. Like, we don't even know. But we were thinking when we go 99 and O, we're going to play Bruce and formal for our 100 and O.

Yeah, they were talking shit yesterday. They said they were going to beat us. I said after 100 matches, you're not beating us. No shot. We're two to two demons at that point. Yeah. You're not just hopping on. And it does help, right?

Like, those sort of situational awareness is, like, do you guys play S&D at all or just response? Yeah, yeah, we mix it up. Okay, so you guys do play S&D. I think that scenarios like that have helped other teams in the past. It helps you learn your timings a lot, especially like in 2B2s. You can, like, S&D, for instance, you just run down a lane. You'll figure out, you know, if they hit that lane too, like what the timing's like, what you can get away with doing. Because, like, I mean, we just bully kids.

So it's like, I'll do some, like, reckless stuff that I'd never do in a match. Yeah. Like, oh, well, that actually works. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Goes both ways. You guys are fucking mean, bro.

Imagine those guys like, yeah, we're 7.4 or a ho. We're about to go pro. We might get picked up by this challengers team. Yeah. Imagine a bit, think about their retaliation. Oh. Oh. They probably pulled it up, and on CMG it says, like, your skill level, and it says we're both experts.

And they're just novice. They're novices. Novis. Novis. Novis. Novis. Novis. Oh, no.

Chicago education. Yeah. It's not the best. Jesus, but where were we? Yeah, but we're eight matches in and we are recording more today.

And you guys are undefeated so far? Yes. Now, see, this is where you're gonna run into difficulties, right? Because other pro players are gonna see that shit?

They're not gonna... They're not gonna... They're gonna try to fucking snipe your shit. Oh, actually, no, because they don't know when you guys are playing. You're right. And they're not gonna...

They're weird. What do you mean? For sure, they're weird. Not pro players, but I think other, like, people might... Like AMs? Yeah.

AMs could do it. But then again, dude, if I'm, if, it's hard to catch us. Yeah, we're smooth criminals. Yeah. There's no way.

Why would, why would an amateur player waste their time looking for us on the ladders when they could be doing something else more productive? Have you seen the new camos for,

for the team camos? Have you guys seen them? No. Team camos. Yeah, the team camos for next year? No. Like the Optic Chicago camos? No.

Sick. Fire. Fire in the air. I've seen other ones. I'm like, ooh. Who's got the close one? We do. And I'm not just saying that.

Like, I've seen them. Seent them. Damn. They're fire. When did they drop, though? I don't know. We have, I think we have an owner's meeting before, oh, it's not this week because of Christmas,

but we do have an owner's meeting immediately after Christmas, and then that's when all the schedule gets released to us. We tell you guys the players, and then we're off to the races. If there was one, wish that you can have granted to me. If I have one wish, you and my best friend. Do you sing to Iz?

Huh? Do you sing to his? Yeah. Oh, he definitely does. Yeah? You sing the Sam? No. No.

No. I don't sing. Anyway, so if you had one wish to change right now, drop up a coin for 2021, going into the CDL, what would it be? Play on land. So I can finally expose these fuckers. I mean, yeah. Land. Yeah.

It's got to be a biggest wish. Do you, was he good on land? Nah. Huh? No. Yeah, you said you were the most consistent team, right? Second place before the league. I mean, yeah.

Us and Thais, we're both 8 and 1. We're like, probably number third team in B-O-4. United 100 Thieves ahead of us. I mean, I beat this guy four to five times. He had you? Not my dude. He had you on the ropes. Three game fives, he's got no ice.

Now I'm here we got ice. We're winning searches now. I saw that. I saw up against. phase. Faze. Yeah. Marklov.

Oh. M.W. Different story. What? I've seen that. Yeah, he's seen it. Anyway, so on the Warzone thing, I think that, I don't think that it's going to be playable anytime soon. Well, what's he giving you the option?

I don't know. I might be up and out of here next year. Who knows? Oh, cool. Was it like that TV would him? That was like a decade ago I don't even remember this point Would you team with him in this day and age?

Would I? Yeah Yeah Why not? Good 12th, but Yeah Why not? Third, we were good at third

Yeah, you won third? I'm your guy Yeah, we're still there Yeah You want third? I'm your guy Anyway, all right So let's end the topic

Let's end the podcast On a good topic Scouting series Did you pay attention to it? No. Big time of you obviously didn't. Did you pay attention to it? A little bit.

Watching, like, Troy's streaming stuff, just seeing what people drafted each day. What was the point of it? I guess to see how other players worked together with, you know, people that aren't their teammates. But there was just no incentive to play. And, like, the challengers' teams didn't get their practice that they wanted those days. So then that's why I know, like, the fourth day, they just didn't want to do it because teams wanted to practice with their actual team. Everyone just canceled? Yeah, I mean, I guess just half the players just said they're opting out of the day four.

So it's a four-day event? Yeah. Well, that's probably the problem then. I think that in theory, the idea is good is just that not for four days. For four days, like, was it cast it and broadcasted? Nope, not by the CDL at all. By the coaches. Is it something put on by CDO?

Yeah. Oh, okay. Huh. I didn't really understand. They have to put like an incentive in it or something. Make it a tournament format. Like each day, so say Troy, they, they, One day, two, day three, and four, he had fully different teams for EU and NNA.

They picked every day? Yeah. So if they made it like day one, they picked their teams for EU and NAA, and then they compete through like a bracket or a tournament and see who gets the bar of this. And, you know, say it's like the prize is like a 2K or Challenger's Cup or whatever. That's not what they're doing? No, it was just scrimmages. Oh. Yeah, that's stupid.

So it was more trolley than anything. Right. Yeah, I don't know. And they're missing out of practice. So I don't blame them for not. wanting to do day four yeah I don't know I personally think that that that could have been better formatted to make it actually fit into something that's meaningful because if you look at it right now let's say we we find fucking super player X

that plays great with every single team what does that do right like what does that do for this team what does that do for any other team they get picked up at sub and then as a sub you can't compete and like all those opportunities that you have to make money I think that there is a world in which a challenger scouting sort of scenario works, but not in the current format the way that it is. Because even if it was. The fact that there isn't any minor leagues

is, I think, the number one issue, right? I mean, there is. Challengers. Yeah, but it's not, it's sort of supported by every single team, but not every, like we don't have a challengers team, right? But if we were, if there was sort of a mandate that the league says,

all, you guys all have to have, like, a junior team, right? And they play in their own league. And they play in their own league. Not just in a 500 team tournament. Like if we gave general Optic Nation, for example, and he gets to make his own team and his challengers, and he gets to win his own prices. And we get to pick any single time, you get sick.

Somebody needs to fill in. We'll grab whatever. Call someone up. Yeah. Call someone up from the minors. I got that Michael Jordan flowed though. Yo. Yo, and I hear you.

I ain't sitting out. Let's say formal gets sick. Let's say Dashie gets sick. Just pick anybody. Like we have that ability to pick somebody from down there that we're already playing. that it's already working with our brand. And I think it's good. Like, imagine those sort of, you know, challenges

where the thing that we do now. I don't know. I think that that works better than what we have right now because what we have right now isn't necessarily all that great. The other thing that it does is that allows for all the teams that didn't necessarily get into the league

last year, 100 Thieves. Like the 100 Thieves challenger team could have competed against Optic Nation and then you would have seen this sort of rivalry and they'd be like, okay, look, there's a positive, there's viewership here because of those storylines

that are being developed. So now you have, you know, twice the viewership, right, on off days, right? They compete during the week. You guys compete during the weekend. I think that there is a way to do that. It's just a matter of, like, imagining a restructure of that. Imagine there's, like, 12 teams, like you said, minor teams for each team. And then they still have their 2Ks.

And, like, we used to do the pro downs where, like, four amateur teams would make it through to play the pros. And a lot of the pro teams didn't like it because there was just, like, a slaughter. but if they had like that for the amateur teams outside of the 12 minor teams then they could throw on like a 20 or 16 team bracket with the top amateurs and then all the minor league teams I think it'd be something cool yeah I don't know there's definitely a way to do that would you compete in a challengers um and current day yeah um maybe for fun like you rambo Merck what are the repercussions of nothing playing oh yeah just getting

roasted just if you lose yeah but you still like if the The way that I see it is like if we can have like, you know, your team. You know what I mean? Yeah. I think that would be dope. We'll definitely sell more T-shirts than all the other ones. And that's at the end of the day. The end of the day.

We'd have fun. That's all that matters. Well, no, that's winning matters. That is all the match. Winning is typically more fun. Winning is more fun. It's more fun than losing. Anyway, all right.

Well, that's what I do it for this episode of the Optic podcast. If you guys have any topics that you guys would like us to discuss next week, please leave them in the description down below. We're going into the Christmas season. So Merry Christmas. and happy holidays for those who don't celebrate celebrate something else

And I'll be home until like the 26th day after Christmas. Okay. Then I'm on my way back. Cool. What are you doing? I'm leaving on Thursday to go home. I'm about to go get tested over at the Toyota Stadium. Are you?

Get the mouth swab, yeah, just to make sure I'm good before, you know. Have you gotten tested? Do you drive back though? You drive to Arkansas? Yeah, it's like six hours. Oh, yeah. Is that one trip on the Tesla or is you got to stop and recharge? I'm probably going to rent a car or some shit.

Recharge. Yeah. If I took the Tesla, it would be like 12 hours. I'm not doing that. Oh, really? Why? Yeah, just because you've got to stop and recharge? Yeah.

Like two hours at a time. That's inconvenient. That's inconvenient. It's inconvenient. Elon Musk is not there yet, but he did become the second richest man in the world recently. He will figure it out sooner or later that I'm confident in. But how, what is he at? What is his network?

Apparently he increases net worth by $139 billion? I mean, it's all in the stock. Like Tesla is the poster boy stock of 2020. So all of his net worth is tied up in that. And he can't sell any of it? I mean, he probably could. I would sell all of it minus, I don't know, fucking 10% or something. I'd sell all of it.

Watch it burn. What would you do with $139 billion? What can you do? I don't know. Where does it go? You can literally do whatever the fuck you want. I would build my own town. I would try to buy all of frisco.

You know what I mean? And call it changed to fresco. folks it's fresh i don't know what would you do 139 not spend it good job all right we'll see you guys later thank you so much for tuning in goodbye
