It's killing a joke, just running it straight into the ground and then continuing to go down like you're going to level 11 for diamonds.
You killed it.
That was kind of a Troy.
That was kind of a Troy, right?
Like, he didn't even want to give you an alpha.
Like, I'll be laughing in shit.
There's a pandemic.
Like, I'll say some fire ass joke.
And then everyone's laughing in the TS, like, because that's the nap's loading.

Anyway, new week, new podcast.
We just went through Snowmageddon.
We haven't talked about that in this podcast, have we?
Snowmageddon.
Snowmageddon.
Yeah, that's what Maddie came up with.
And I actually messed with it.
Matt Craig?
Yeah, he's creative.
He's waving now.
Okay, so we have here.
All right, here's the, who wants to read this week's comment section?
Bethy, go ahead.
I mean, he was giving it to you.
But I would like to.
Okay, go for it.
Go for it, man.
Oh my God.
What?
Yo, did you see that ballist life retweeted your dunk?
Yeah, as they should.
Yeah.
You have skills.
That behind the back crossover was insane.
I was afraid I was going to bang my head off that, the back of the wall.
You don't jump that high.
Oh, the wall.
That's nine feet regulation.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah.
You're a beast.
Comments.
W.P.
Question for the next podcast.
Do you think the league size barrier to entry for grassroots teams and CDL structure as a whole have made it overly commercialized?
That's what you guys pick?
Why would you guys pick that comment?
God.
I think everything's perfect and it's going great.
Question for the next one.
Do you think the league size is a barrier to a church?
I don't even know what commercialized means.
It's what plays in between link to Super Bowl.
Oh, yeah.
What the fuck?
I know what those are.
It's the art of making commercials.
Right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So it's like ad-friendly.
Yeah, sure.
What is?
And the other one,
the other one comes from Yang Gupta.
And it's,
what's the best trash talk someone's ever said to you?
Oh,
that's a good one.
That is a good one.
I like hearing these answers.
Best trash talk someone's ever said to me?
Ever.
Or like,
have you ever been playing and you heard them screaming and it got in your head?
Or like,
has somebody ever said anything to you across the table?
And you're like,
ooh,
that actually stung a little bit.
Not really.
So you're two wits for your own good
Not really
I can't remember
There's no good shit talkers and con
I was about to say this
I mean we also can't normally hear them
Like when we're on stage
You can't hear people
That's why me informal at champs
We were like
We had to like you know
Everyone thought we were screaming shit
We were just lip syncing shit
Yeah
I mean we were screaming shit as well
But like you you can't really hear
Across the stage
So it's really only applicable
At like the side stations
That's what you have to point of people
So they know
Yeah
Has anyone ever says like, yo, why would you pointing at me, you weirdo?
Has anyone ever, no, they know when I'm pointing at them.
Yeah.
Oh, shit on them.
Like, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
And you're like, you're like, you lost because of you.
They're feeling so bad about it too.
And they're looking at you like smirking because they're so salty.
Oh, that's the best when they're just giving me that salt, they're like, and you just know you just outflow them.
It's like when a boxer gets punched in the head and then they go like this, didn't hurt me.
But they know I did.
Otherwise, they want to sit shit.
Yeah.
I'm not hurt.
Is he think what you're saying to me hurts?
I mean, it's kind of like, what are you going to do at that point?
Everything's been said.
We've been playing against him.
You're either a pussy for saying something or a pussy for losing.
There's no way of going about it.
That's not about that.
But when you were saying there's no good trash talkers and cod, is that because they were good in Halo?
Yeah, Ryan Newbe got in my head a few times.
Really?
In Dead series.
Ryan New?
That kid was the most annoying kid I've ever played against by far.
That's-called closely by like goofy maybe.
Them team, they went on the same team.
Faisal?
Yeah, dude.
Oh, my God.
You can ask Nick.
dude this kid
oh my god
because he would just be
because he would
he's still in my head
he's still living up dude
because like
when we played
you were just wearing Astros
like next to each other
basically on main stage
like you could hear
what they're saying
right right
and fucking
this kid would just be screaming
about anything
he'd be lying right
he'd be like
literally screaming like
like fucking like I just ninjaed him
and you're like
what?
No you didn't
you just want to stand up
no your teammates are hearing that
like you just got ninja
yeah yeah
like he would just be like
dude
Every single kill.
It was just, and he'd just be losing, just fucking screaming.
It's so annoying.
Yeah.
And just, oh, dude.
My hat's off that guy.
Hats off your hat.
He was so cringe, but it was so, so good.
Let's see it then.
Was there ever like an intimidating?
No.
It was just annoying.
Not from him, but from other people in Halo.
He's got good hair, too.
I tried.
It was just, it was so fucking annoying, bro.
And then him and goofy at the same time, both just screaming.
Because I think, I think I was talking to Nick at the scuff house and he said,
He said that whenever the twins would get in lunch.
Yeah, whenever they would get going.
I thought you were talking about the Suttists.
No.
There are a lot of twins.
Warheads.
That's the one.
I remember they'd just be walking around passing out warheads.
Have bags of it.
Hell of bags.
A lot of twins in Halo, yeah?
Three sets?
Yeah, one over two.
Damn, that's crazy.
Launchbox Roy and Elamite Warrior and Ace.
They're twins?
twins with the brothers a lot of brothers
they're brothers
they're singing and they're bringing
and they're hmm hmm hmm I can't
what was it called with
the Damon Damon Wayans and
Marlon Wayans
the what was it called God it was such a good show
the Wayne's brothers
yeah it was called the Wayne's brothers
oh yeah wait really
yeah it was fucking you know
have you seen it's so good
I always sarcastic
Wait was it Wayne's brother it wasn't it Wayne's world
No, Wayne's World is the
Excellent party on a repressan.
I'm thinking of something different then.
I know.
Song or movie?
What?
I was talking about a TV show in the 90s.
Yeah, I know.
And then I thought you were talking about Wayne's world
because I heard Wayne.
Well, it's Wayans.
There's two, yeah, I get where you're coming from.
Bruce Wayne.
Like Batman.
Little Wayne.
I've seen Little Wayne.
Like Bruce.
Wayne Kretzky.
Yeah, hockey.
Wayne, yeah.
Hockey.
That's what we did with my class time.
Like the only hockey player, I think I know.
With Mike.
This is what we did with my class time.
Jackson, Michael Jordan.
Mike, Mike.
He's like, holy shit, there's so many mics that are good at it.
Mike and Ikes.
Yes.
Underrated.
The candy is underrated.
Dude, right?
You think so?
It actually is underrated.
I'd say so.
I love Mike and I.
You know what's really underrated?
I forgot the name of it.
Take fives.
Take five.
Never heard of it.
Those aren't that bad.
I've had them.
Yeah, they're pretty good.
What are they?
They have a pretzel in them.
Chocolates?
You rarely find one in like your Halloween bag.
You'd be like, ooh, what's this?
And then you eat it?
and you're like, ooh.
So.
So, Seth, you come from Pennsylvania.
Can't wait for that.
You come from Pennsylvania.
Grew up in Pennsylvania.
Drove in Pennsylvania.
Drove in Chicago.
Yeah.
All of a sudden, a little snow falls in Texas and you can't drive.
What happened?
I mean, my car is just not able to drive in the snow.
Usually, if I had my fusion, that would have been no problem to drive it.
Don't rely on.
The White Stadley.
Now owned by Renato Saints.
He has my car.
Oh, does he?
Yeah.
I was wondering where Nick and his car went.
He loved that car.
He was like, give me her.
And I said, what?
For the first year, Nato had his car.
Nato would be like eight's calls.
Like, dude, fucking whip is so clean.
I'm like, dude, I know you have sets four.
Fuget.
Yeah.
Don't, I think you bought some new car.
I'm not nice.
What?
What are you talking about?
Reliable for sure.
Definitely reliable.
Four wheel.
No.
In this terrain?
You sound like you miss it.
In the cold weather, yeah.
You should trade your car that you have now with your old car.
And get three of those.
Get nano.
That's not how it works.
You switch with nano.
Yeah.
That'd be a good bargain for you.
I tried, man.
I tried.
Now, how many miles do you have right now?
36,000.
On your car right now currently?
36.
I have 36 on Nate's wagon,
which still has a license plate
that Nate gave it,
sold it to me in.
And I'm running like,
I'm just running.
Just riding dirty.
Yeah, I'm riding dirty.
And I'm hoping that one day
he's going to receive a message
from the Texas Department
of Transportation
I'd be like you owe $1,500 in tolls.
That's fucked up.
Got you prank.
Yeah, he really socked it to him.
It just like some rich friends prank type of thing.
That's like detrimental to most people.
I wanted to get like 15K and like fucking like that's hilarious.
Weird.
Weird.
Hector was talking about how he paid off the delivery guys and he did this motion.
I didn't.
They cost a pretty penny though.
You did.
Bro, so Brandon, you're throwing your front of the bus here
because you know he's going to have to explain the story
and now you're throwing your friend under the bus.
You should have thought about that.
No, you are.
It's messed up, right?
I need to do that to you.
All the time.
I need to keep track of his weird flexes as well as everyone else.
As long as this is not detrimental to the team.
It's not.
All I'm saying is that I'm out here.
It's like when you killed me in Minecraft,
trying to help you.
That's what's happening right now.
I was trying to help a teammate.
No, you were trying to help.
Bruce.
That's a teammate.
Not me.
It's a teammate.
You just said trying to help me.
See,
there's no eye in team scump.
There's an eye and win.
Which is crazy because there's two eyes and scumpy.
Damn, there are two eyes and scumpy.
The last day is Michael Jordan.
That's where I learned that.
There's two of them.
There's two eyes and scumpy.
That's how much he loves himself.
Here.
Give me this stuff.
You can't even take it for me.
If you want to do paper cut, my season's ruined.
That is also true.
This podcast has been all over the.
place.
He had a cat and he named it skump.
Just think about that.
Rest in peace.
Oh.
That's a cat.
He literally was like,
I'm gonna just call it skump too.
Like I'm just,
Skumper.
I'm skumper.
Skumper.
Wasn't you one of your time?
Skumper.
Cumber.
What are you doing?
I didn't name it.
Scump.
Yeah.
Okay.
Skumper is better.
Yeah.
What?
Skumpur.
Skumpur.
P.
P.
Oh, you fucked up.
You fucked up.
You should have named it scump per.
P-U-R-R. I did.
You should have done that.
Yes, I did.
It's too late to start on Instagram.
Scum-pur.
Yes, I did.
That's fucked.
So fucked.
No, it's not.
Rest in peace.
Caddy.
Yeah.
What happened?
Which,
which Fortnite Pro quit?
Which Fortnite Pro?
Which Fortnite Pro quit on teammate?
I can't talk about it.
A Fortnite Pro quit on his teammate
mid event?
$20 million event.
Wait, what's the context of that?
Yeah.
No, I don't know.
This is what they just throw letters
like words into this.
How old was this person that quit?
I don't even know if this is like recent.
Because most of the kids in Fortinite are what like 16 to 18 on average?
Yeah, I don't know what money is.
It's like a.
I mean, if I was 16 and 20 million,
I would know what that was.
That's 20 million.
20 large.
There's no way it's a $20 million tournament though.
Yeah, where did that come from?
Is that like their worlds?
their big one?
What?
Like they're champs?
Just explain it.
It's an actual tournament for 20 million
and his friend quit on his teammate.
Dioos?
Mid tournament.
It's now when you say $20 million,
it's a $20 million price pool
for one event?
A season.
Oh, okay, it's a season.
I mean, that's...
This bullet point's just going less.
That's quite a bit of cash.
That is.
I don't know.
Look, I bet you they're not boys no more.
Unless there was a reason.
I don't even know.
His power went out.
Again, there's like, here's...
I think he just left him.
I mean, it's a whole season.
And his power's still out?
And he still can't tell him.
Like, dude, my power was out.
Everyone's sitting there talking shit for like four days?
He got canceled.
He can't defend himself because he's got no...
He's got no power.
He's sitting there next to, like, handle it right now?
That's fucked.
If, unless he has a reason.
He has no reason.
I need to know the reason or else.
I just can't even respond to this bullet.
Yeah, no, we, uh, the thing about this, about these bullet points is that I literally,
right before we started the podcast, I saw them, like, writing.
shit down really quickly.
Like, it's like,
yo, guys,
let's huddle together
and talk about something recent.
God bless.
Thank you.
Minecraft,
uh,
here are the topics.
Just so you guys know what the topics are,
okay?
Minecraft,
I'm gonna read them exactly as they read.
I don't even need topics.
I know,
but I'm gonna read them for you anyway.
You should do no topics.
Minecraft opticraft.
CDL Super Week.
How the Hecks Quarters is packed.
Now.
Is that what you said?
I'm down.
Uh,
PS5 VR 2,
Future of VR in parentheses.
It's a fucking YouTube title.
All of a sudden.
And Ninja confirms $100 million.
Can we get a verification that he said himself?
I doubt that Tyler's like, yeah, I made $100 million in gaming.
A hundred million?
Yeah, that's what he said.
This is what, for the record, anyone, Jake Lucky and anybody else is going to take some of this to make a video?
Don't know.
Anybody that's going to steal exactly what we're talking about.
He's just throwing in their videos.
Jake, I'm talking to you.
Jack.
A hundred mill?
Yeah.
I, listen, just for the record.
I'm saying it right now.
Optic Gaming Podcast
is not saying that Ninja
confirmed there's $100 million
because I know he didn't confirm that.
No one would confirm, I would confirm that.
No one would confirm that.
No one else would confirm the fact that did that.
So what wrote this?
No creator would, no creator would confirm that.
Roger gosh darn it.
What I got that shit?
Would you have been mind blown?
Yeah, I mean, yes, because it was all the way over there.
I would have been mind blunded just because
So far away.
What?
We always talk about how you go from the paper up and just throw it.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, we do need this.
We need...
We need...
Put it back.
We do need this piece of paper.
Okay, so let's talk about Minecraft off the craft a little bit.
Okay, so it took...
It took...
No, it did.
All right.
Let's get something...
Diamonds.
All right.
Let's read.
Let's read back in.
Just really quickly.
We're right.
Let's read.
Let's really have to build a boat
Let's reel it back in
What?
Yeah
Is it just wood? I thought there were sticks
No, it's just wood
This was planks in the U shape
And how to build a bed
What is it?
Three planks, three wool
Yes sir
Can you use different color wool?
Yeah, no you cannot
Yeah, you can
Yes, you can
No, only on the pillow
Yeah
I just lost composure
Yeah, exactly.
Don't you, Roger!
Here we go
So really quickly
It took close to
Seven years to get you to play Minecraft
It actually took that because we were playing in 2013
And I would refuse to play it
Why? So are you saying
Mainly because
Maybe the friendship level
Now
Well I would say mainly A because I didn't want to take the time to learn it
On stream and get roasted for trying to learn it
Yeah
Which is inevitable
And that's part of the allure
Yeah the spectators want to help
Right?
Well, even when you know Minecraft very well, it's still the most backseated game I've ever played.
Yeah, it has to be.
Yeah.
But so that was one of the main points.
B, I obviously didn't want to get roasted for competition because, I mean, back then.
I mean, I would say, I'd say we probably got roasted back then more than we do now.
For sure.
You guys got annihilated.
I play Minecraft now, and like, I haven't really been receiving any, like.
I think people get it.
For some reason, people get it now.
People just got out of that phase of hating
Well to be fair
Minecraft in
Minecraft in 60-50 was more of like a
It was more of like a thing
Like you guys did Minecraft
Now it seems like you guys are playing Minecraft
To get to relax after streams
And people love that
Yeah or scrimms, sorry
Because people love watching you guys scrimm
And knowing that you guys were screaming scrimmed
They were like canceling scrimmed
You're like I don't know about canceling
But you guys were like waking up to play Minecraft
You know what I mean?
It seemed like a priority
And not
Scrimmns
ever and I hated that people like said that shit.
Well you also got to understand like at that time our fans were like, you know,
14, 15, 16.
And then Seth was like three years older than them maybe.
Yeah.
Where now everybody's grown up like the majority of the green wall.
I am very confident in saying it's literally the youngest like segment of that has to be like
1819.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
And everybody else is like 18 to like 26.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like the way.
The amount of yeah.
There's still younger kids like what?
There are young kids, yeah, but I bet you the optic, the majority of the optic fan fan group or fan base is probably in that area.
And when you're saying kids, you're talking about like 16, 17 year olds.
I'd say, I'd say like 14 days.
Are there you think?
Yeah.
Especially back in the day.
I look at the data and I said like very, very, very small group.
But you also, like we're going to get to the, what is that, Maddie?
Thank you, Matt.
Look at that.
We got our own Maddie.
Well, that's also.
1.2%.
1.2% is 13 to 17. 18 to 24 is 38%.
25 to 34 is 46%.
35 to 44 is 9%. 45 to 54.
Shout out to them.
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
Yo, shout out to the 65 plus that make up 0.7%.
Those are my men.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And women.
So like I know, I know like now because I get, I get messages sometimes with like, yeah,
I was like, when are you guys going to put out like baby clothes or something?
because our fans are now having to have kids.
That's crazy.
You know, who do you think?
Who is, like, I always, I always, like, talk to Jude and I try to speculate who's the next, like, besides karma, who's the next person to have a kid?
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
What do you mean?
No.
Why are you saying it so confidently?
No children for me.
I'm about this fucking grind.
For how long, though?
Were you 24, right?
Yeah, I still got plenty of time.
Wait, how old are you?
25.
25.
I always knew.
I always knew.
from the beginning of time that my first kid was going to come at 29 and she did
29.
He's still going to be next though.
Yeah, he's still going to be.
He'll still be next.
I think Nick's going to have an accident.
Fuck no.
Well,
I don't think so.
It's impossible,
it's not impossible,
but it's very,
very hard to maintain,
like,
especially my schedule
with a kid.
There's no way.
I wouldn't be able to,
like, be there at all.
Yeah, that's how I feel.
I would be like,
I wouldn't be able to be there.
It's literally wake up.
I'm either content day,
stream into scrims,
through the day. That's it.
Like, that's every day.
Yeah.
So it's like,
But that's everybody in the world, though, too, though.
It doesn't mean you're not next.
It just means you're real prepared.
Yeah, so.
You might still be next.
If you think about it,
think about how many people wake up on a daily basis at six to be at work by eight or nine, right?
Or,
and to get their kids to school.
Like,
everybody works those eight hour days.
Well,
yeah,
but having a kid,
that's different than having a six-year-old that you drop off at school every day.
True?
Yeah,
I mean,
they start out as babies.
And they only,
they're not babies forever.
No,
No, they don't.
What do you mean?
Of course they start off as babies.
You think I'm that stupid?
No, I don't think you're stupid at all.
Wait, has I was in Benjamin Button?
Yeah.
How does that movie start?
I've never seen it.
I know the concept though.
He starts out.
It's like a, like, a, like, is he just like,
Spond?
Yeah, how does he spawn?
He gets birthed by a woman?
Yes, by a woman.
And she just, how tall is he?
It's a baby, but he's a baby.
Oh, it's a baby.
But he's wrinkly?
Yeah.
And then he grows up as an old person.
Like a little Voldemort?
Yeah. And then he shrinks.
It's like a diamond.
Imagine being a three-year-old, 94-year-old?
Did you say diamonds?
Imagine being a three-year-old in your head, but you're 93 in your body?
I mean, essentially, it's the same thing.
You can't really walk fast and you're still trying to, like, grab your balance before you get to a certain age.
That's crazy.
But I guess do you meet in the middle?
Like when he's 34, what's he?
He's 34, yeah.
Yeah, that's dope.
And then he falls in love.
Well, I guess when he's 50.
And then he becomes a child.
Right.
When he's like 40, he's like actually his age.
Yeah.
And then he.
He gets like that one spot.
That one little tight.
And then he falls in love.
And then she's like,
oh shit.
She's going to opposite.
They're going opposite.
She's getting older.
Right?
So as she starts.
I've never seen that movie.
I'm going to watch it again.
I saw it one time and it was really weird.
Yeah.
I got to watch it.
It's weird or is it good though?
You should watch it.
I don't know.
That was before I like appreciated films.
I just kind of went.
You should watch it.
As date nights.
Yeah.
In high school.
You don't know, no deposits with Lex.
Deposits?
That's what you're calling that?
What the fuck? You might want to reword that
What you make a deposit you get ROI right? Oh, you're talking
Oh my god
What? What's what it's called? No no no
Seth he's next
Deposits
One sets is popped out then then
Dude Matt love that once once I
Once I
Deposit
Once I've always since high school I've called it that is it pro create? Yeah once I pro
I procreate this world is fucked
Why? Why? Because imagine two of me
It would just be you.
What if it's a female?
Oh, my jeans would take over.
Imagine?
What?
Are you saying you have a daughter with a bunch of testosterone?
It looks just like you.
Yeah.
You have a daughter that works out and it's just...
You think his jeans would overtake mine?
Yeah, I think so.
The trolley jeans?
No shot.
I mean, I don't know from...
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know about...
I don't know from a personality perspective.
maybe that you could overtake,
but I don't know.
I don't think that your dreams would do that
because they skip,
sometimes they skip generations.
Yeah, I don't know.
So your kid's going to be like super shy and quiet.
Yeah.
I think Mama Scump is ready for
to be Grandma Scum.
No, she's not.
Never mind.
I don't think she is.
Take that back.
Jordan, wait, are you going to have babies before Jordan?
He's 30.
He's like, he's 32.
So are you an uncle 21?
No.
So Buzz is your only son and the cats are whatever.
Don't call Buzz his son.
I've been in that household.
He's not his son.
He runs that shit.
He's like a stepbrother.
He's my.
Oh yeah.
He's bad.
He's not bad.
He's a good.
It's like when I try to explain.
When I try to like make an excuse for Seth, I'm like, he's a misunderstood boy.
Buzz is not bad.
He's an innocent boy.
He's a good boy.
He's just unruly whenever he's excited.
Have you talked?
There's no.
There's no controlling him when he's hype.
Yeah.
I mean, I often have, like,
restorations about asking these questions because, like,
I don't know if you guys, like,
have you and is talking about kids or any of that?
No.
Have you and Lex talking about kids?
Absolutely not.
Not really.
Can you imagine?
It comes up.
Like, she'll be,
she'll be, like, doing her makeup and then she'll do her, like,
his or her makeup.
And, like, think about how that is.
I mean, that's definitely going to happen.
Yeah.
For sure going to happen.
But, I mean, as long as that's, I don't know.
Bro, just imagine how creative your kid's going to be.
Like, with her creativity,
your creativity, good kid.
Very, but possibly could be too much.
Like the kid's just up in the clouds all the time.
What?
Maybe. Just thinking about, like,
thinking about crazy shit, but can't fold close.
You know what I mean?
The fuck out of the school.
Should be fucking.
Because I can barely fold close.

Also, support for the Optic podcast is brought to you by Manscaped, the Lawn,
mower, you've heard us talk about Manscape.
I know you can't have watched optic content before in the past without hearing us talk about
our favorite male grooming device.
It is the lawn mower 3.0.
So the demographic here listening to this is probably around like late 20s, early 30s,
but we all, all of us have a story and a lot of people are probably going through these
stories right now where, you know, you just, you tried grooming the first or
second time and it just was uncomfortable as hell and you didn't even get the job done fully.
Well, all of that is completely changed now with the lawnmower 3.0. I mean, it does.
It does everything. Yeah, Manscape does redesign the electric tremor. The Manscape engineering team
spent 18 months perfecting the greatest tremor ever created, the lawnmower 3.0. And I mean,
this is just quality. I mean, it literally says premium, very premium.
shave the battery will last up to 90 minutes so you can take a longer shit 90 minutes
Okay, I mean well the battery lasts 90 minutes in case you have
A forest the Amazon rainforest and you need 90 minutes now it's time the waterproof technology allows you to groom in the shower
Which it does trust me one of the coolest features is the LED light
Which illuminates grooming areas for a closer and more precise trimming and shave in the dark kind of
And also, let's not forget about the charging stand.
Show your mower off loud and proud because of this intelligent design stand is a convenient charging dock powered by USB.
So that's what it is.
I mean, you can just display that shit.
I mean, toothbrush here, toothpaste here, mouthwash.
If you could have one super power, what would it be?
For me personally?
For everyone.
What is weeny vision?
I need to know what weenie vision.

What does that Troy mean?
It's killing a joke, just running it straight into the ground and then continuing to go down
like you're going to level 11 for diamonds.
You killed it.
That was kind of a Troy.
It was kind of a Troy, right?
Like, he didn't even give you an elbow.
Like, I'll be laughing and shit.
There's a pandemic.
Like, I'll say some fire ass joke.
And then everyone's laughing in the TS, like,
because there's an app's loading.
And then like, we're just like the countdowns going like 10, 9, 8.
And Troy, like, tries to chime in.
He's like, yeah, dude, totally.
And then, like, we'll be like,
I'm going to go plat.
Like, you just lose your smile completely.
True.
Like, let's try to break to hell.
Anyway, new week, new podcast.
we just went through Snowmageddon.
We haven't talked about that in this podcast, have we?
Snowmageddon.
Yeah, that's what Maddie came up with.
I actually messed with it.
Matt Craig? Yeah, he's creative.
He's waving now.
Okay, so we have here.
All right, here's the, who wants to read this week's comment section?
Sethie, go ahead.
I mean, he was giving it to you.
But I would like to.
Go for it.
Go for it, man.
My God.
What?
Yo, did you see that ballist life retweeted your dunk?
Yeah, as they should.
Yeah.
You have skills.
That behind the back crossover was insane.
I was afraid I was going to bang my head off that, the back of the wall.
You don't jump that high.
Oh, the wall.
That's nine feet regulation.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah.
You're a beast.
Comments.
WP.
Question for the next podcast.
Do you think the league size?
barrier to entry for grassroots teams
and CVL structure as a whole
have made it overly commercialized.
That's what you guys pick.
Why would you guys pick that comment?
God.
I think everything's perfect
and it's going great.
Question for the next one.
Do you think the league size is a barrier to...
I don't even know what commercialized means.
It's what plays in between
the Super Bowl.
Oh, what the fuck?
I know what those are.
It's the art of making commercials.
Right.
Yeah, yeah.
I watch a lot of love.
So it's like ad-friendly.
Yeah, sure.
What is,
and the other one,
the other one comes from
Yang Gupta,
and it's,
what's the best
trash talk someone's ever said to you?
Oh,
that's a good one.
That is a good one.
I like,
I like hearing these answers.
Best trash talk someone's ever said to me?
Ever.
Or like,
have you ever been playing
and you heard them screaming
and it got in your head
or like,
has somebody ever said anything
to you across the table
and you're like,
ooh,
that actually stung a little bit.
Not really.
So you're two wits for your own good.
Not really.
I can't,
I can't remember like,
there's no good shit talkers and coffee.
I was about to say this.
I mean, we also can't normally hear them.
Like when we're on stage, you can't hear people.
That's why me informal at champs, we were like, we had to like, you know.
Everyone thought we were screaming shit.
We were just lip-syncing shit.
Yeah.
I mean, we were screaming shit as well, but like you, you can't really hear across the stage.
So it's really only applicable at like the side stations.
That's what we have to point of people.
So they know.
Yeah.
Has anyone ever says, like, yo, why would you pointing at me, you weirdo?
Has anyone ever taken it?
No, they know one pointing at them.
Yeah.
I'm like, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
And you're like, you.
You lost because of you.
They're feeling so bad about it too.
Like smirking because they're so salty.
Oh, that's the best when they're just giving me that salt.
They're like, and you just know you just alpha them.
It's like when a boxer gets punched in the head and then they go like this,
didn't hurt me.
But they know it that otherwise they want to set shit.
Yeah.
I'm not hurt.
Is it you think what you're saying to me hurts?
I mean, it's kind of like, what are you going to do at that point?
Everything's been said.
We've been playing into the result.
You're either a put.
You're either a.
pussy for saying something or a pussy for losing.
There's no way of going about it.
Very interesting.
That's not about that. But when you were saying
there's no good trash talkers and cod, is that because they were
good in Halo? Yeah, Ryan Newb got in my head a few times.
Really? In Dead series.
Ryan, that kid was the most annoying kid I've ever played against
by far. That's...
Followed closely by, like, goofy, maybe.
Them team, and they went on the same team.
Faisal? Yeah, dude. Oh, my God. You can ask Nick.
Dude, this kid. Oh, my God.
He's still in his head.
He's still in my head. He's still in my head.
He's still living up, dude.
Because like, when we played, you were just wearing Astros, like, next to each other, basically on mainstage.
Like, you could hear what they're saying.
Right, right.
And fucking, this kid would just be screaming about anything.
He'd be lying, right?
He'd be, like, literally screaming, like, like, like, fucking, like, I just ninjaed him.
And you're like, no, you didn't.
Like, no, you didn't?
You just want to stand up?
No, you did it?
Yeah, your teammates are hearing that.
Like, you just got ninjaed?
Yeah, yeah.
Like, he would just be like, dude, every single kill.
It was just, and he'd just be losing, just fucking screaming.
It's so annoying.
Yeah.
And just, oh, dude, that hats off that guy.
Hats off, dude.
Take off your hats.
He was so cringe, but it was so, so good.
Let's see it then.
Was there ever like an intimidating?
Take your hat off.
No, it was just annoying.
Not from him, but from other people in Halo.
He's got good hair, too.
I tried.
It was just, it was so fucking annoying, bro.
And then him and goofy at the same time, both just screaming.
Because I think, I think I was talking to Nick at the scuff house,
and he said, he said that whenever the twins would get.
Or in lunch.
Yeah, whenever they would get going.
Oh, yeah.
I thought you were talking about the Suttists.
No.
There are a lot of twins.
Warheads.
That's the one.
I remember they'd just be walking around passing out war.
They have bags of it.
A lot of twins in Halo, yeah?
Three sets?
Yeah.
One over two.
Damn, that's crazy.
Launchbox Roy and Elamite Warrior and Ace.
They're twins?
They're not twins.
They're brothers.
They're a lot of brothers.
They're brothers.
They're singing and they're bringing.
there.
What was it called with
the Damon Wayans and
Marlon Wayans?
What was it called?
God, it was such a good show.
The Wayne's Brothers?
Yeah, it was called the Wayne's Brothers.
Oh, yeah.
Wait, really?
Yeah, it was.
It's fucking.
You know the fucking show.
It's so good.
I always...
Wait, was it Wayne's brother?
It wasn't it Wayne's World?
No, Wayne's World is the
Excellent Party on a Represcent.
I'm thinking of something different then.
I know.
Song or movie?
What?
I was talking about a TV show.
Yeah, I know.
And then I thought you were talking about Wayne's world because I heard Wayne.
Well, it was Wayans.
There's two, yeah, I get where you're coming from.
Bruce Wayne, like Batman.
Little Wayne.
I've seen Little Wayne.
Like Bruce.
Wayne.
Yeah, Gretsky.
Yeah, hockey.
Wayne, yeah.
Hockey.
That's what we did with Mike last time.
It's the only hockey player, I think I know.
With Mike.
This is what we did with Mike last time.
Michael Jackson.
Michael Jordan.
Mike Mike Johnson.
Oh, he's like, holy shit.
There's so many mics that are good at it.
Mike.
Mike and Ikes.
Yes.
Underrated.
The candy is underrated.
Dude, right?
You think so?
It actually is underrated.
I'd say so.
I love Mike and I.
You know what's really underrated?
I forgot the name of it.
Take fives.
Take five.
Never heard of it.
Trust.
I've had them.
Yeah, they're pretty good.
What are they?
They have a pretzel in them.
Chocolates?
You normally find one in like your Halloween bag.
You'd be like, ooh, what's this?
And then you eat it and you're like, ooh.
So, Seth, you come from Pennsylvania.
You come from Pennsylvania.
You come from Pennsylvania.
grew up in Pennsylvania, drove in Pennsylvania, drove in Chicago,
all of a sudden a little snow falls in Texas and you can't drive.
What happened?
I mean, my car is just not able to drive in the snow.
Usually, if I had my fusion, that would have been no problem to drive it.
Don't reliable from the White Staddle.
The White Stally.
Now owned by Renato, Saints, he has my car.
Oh, does he?
Yeah.
I was wondering where Nick and his car went.
He loved that car.
He was like, give me her.
And I said, what?
For the first year, Nato had his car.
Nato'd be like 8's call.
Like, dude, fucking whip is so clean.
I'm like, dude, I know you have sets four.
Fuget.
Yeah.
Don't, I think you bought some new car.
Yeah.
Not nice.
What?
What are you talking about?
Reliable for sure.
Definitely reliable.
Four wheel.
No.
In this terrain?
You sound like you miss it.
In the cold weather, yeah.
You should trade your car that you have now with your old car.
And get three of those.
Get Nato.
That's not how it.
Switch with Nano.
Yeah.
That'd be a good bargain for you.
I tried, man.
I tried.
Now, how many miles do you have right now?
36,000.
On your car right now currently?
36.
I have 36 on Nade's wagon, which still has a license plate that Nade gave it, sold it to me in.
And I'm running like, I'm just running.
Just riding dirty.
Yeah, I'm riding dirty.
And I'm hoping that one day he's going to receive a message from the Texas Department of Transportation.
I'd be like, you owe $1,500 in tolls.
That's fucked up.
Got you prank.
Yeah, he really socked it to him.
It's just like some rich friends prank type of thing.
That's like detrimental to most people.
I hope he's getting like 15K and like fucking like tickets.
That's hilarious.
Weird.
Weird flex.
Weird.
Hector was talking about how he paid off the delivery guys and he did this motion.
I didn't.
They cost a pretty penny though.
You did.
Bro, I, so Brandon, you did.
You're throwing your front of the bus here because you know he's going to have to
explain the story and then you're now you're throwing your friend under the bus you should have
thought about that. No, you are. It's messed up right? How he did that? I need to do that to you all the time.
I need to keep track of his weird flexes as well as everyone else. As long as this is not detrimental
to the team. Yeah. It's not. All I'm saying is that I'm out here. It's like it's like when
you killed me in Minecraft trying to help you. That's what's happening right now. I was trying to
help a teammate. No, you were trying to help Bruce. That's a teammate. Not me.
It's teammate. You just said trying to help me.
See, that's right to the team.
There's no I in team scump.
There's an eye and win.
Which is crazy because there's two eyes and scumpy.
Damn, there are two eyes and scumpy.
The last day is Michael Jordan.
That's where I learned there.
There's two of them.
There's two eyes and scumpy.
That's how much he loves himself.
Here, blacks.
Give me this stuff.
Let's get on to the...
You can't even take it for me.
If you want to do, paper cut, my season's ruined.
That is also true.
This podcast has been all over the place.
That had a cat and he named it skump.
Just think about that.
Rest in peace.
Oh

Yes, I did.
It's too late to start out.
Instagram.

A 20 million event.
Wait,

A Fortnite Pro quit on his teammate mid event?
$20 million event.
Wait,
what's the context of that?
Yeah.
No,
know this is what they just throw letters
like words into this how old was this
person that quit I don't even know
if this is like recent about this is mostly
kids in Florida either well like 16 to 18
on average I don't know what money is
really it's like a I mean if
if I was 16 and 20 million I would
know what that was that's 20 million
20 large there's no way it's a 20 million
tournament though
yeah where did that come from is that like their
worlds their big one
what like their champs just
explain it it's an actual tournament
for 20 million and his friend quit on his teammate.
Dues?
Mid tournament.
Is it now when you say $20 million,
it's a $20 million price pool for one event?
A season.
Oh, okay, it's a season.
That's a season.
This bullet points just going less.
That's quite a bit of cash.
That is.
I don't know.
Look, I bet you they're not boys no more.
Unless there was a reason.
I don't even know.
His power went out.
Again, there's like, here's,
I think he just left them.
I mean, it's a whole season.
It's power still out?
And he still can't tell him.
Like, dude, my power was out.
He's just sitting there talking shit for like four days.
He got canceled.
He can't defend himself because he's got no energy.
He's got no power.
He's sitting there next to, like, handle it right now.
That's fucked.
If, unless he has a reason.
He has no reason.
I need to know the reason or else.
I just can't even respond to this bullet.
Yeah, no, we, uh, the thing about this, about these bullet points is that I literally,
right before we started the podcast, I saw them like writing shit down really quickly.
Like, it's like, yo, guys, let's huddle together and talk about something recent.
God bless.
Thank you.
Minecraft Opticraft.
Here are the topics.
Just so you guys know what the topics are, okay?
Minecraft, I'm gonna read them exactly as they read right here.
We don't even need topics.
I know, but I'm gonna read them for you anyway.
We should do no topics.
Minecraft Opticraft.
CDL Super Week.
How the Hecks Quarters is packed now?
Is that what you said?
I'm down.
PS5 VR2, Future OVR in parentheses.
It's a fucking YouTube title all of a sudden.
And Ninja confirms $100 million.
Can we get a verification?
get a verification that he said himself, I doubt that Tyler's like, yeah, I made $100 million
in gaming.
A hundred million?
Yeah, that's what he said.
This is what, for the record, anyone, Jake Lucky and anybody else is going to take some of this
to make a video.
Don't know.
Anybody that's going to steal exactly what we're talking about is just throw it in their videos.
Jake, I'm talking to you.
A hundred mil?
Yeah.
Listen, just for the record, I'm saying that right now, Optic, gaming, podcast.
is not saying that Ninja
confirmed there's $100 million
because I know he didn't confirm that
no one would confirm I would confirm that
no one would confirm that no one else
would confirm the fact that did that
so what we wrote this no creator would
no creator would confirm that
Roger gosh darn it
what if I got that shit
would you have been mind blown
yeah I mean yes because it was all the way
over there I would have been mind blurt just
just because he went so far away
What?
You always talk about how you go pull the paper up and just throw it.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, we do need this.
We need...
We need...
We need...
We do need this piece of paper.
Okay, so let's talk about Minecraft off the craft a little bit.
Okay, so it took...
It took...
No, it did.
All right, let's get something...
Diamonds.
All right, let's read.
Let's read...
Let's read.
Just really quick.
Let's read.
Let's read...
I know how to build a boat.
Let's reel it back in.
What?
Yeah.
Is it just wood?
I thought there were sticks.
No, it's just wood.
This was planks in the U shape.
And I ought to build a bed.
What is it?
Three planks, three wool.
Yes, sir.
Can you use different color wool?
Yeah.
No, you can.
Yeah, you can.
Only on the pillow.
Yeah.
I just lost composure.
Yeah, exactly.
Don't, watch you, Roger!
Here we go.
All right, so really quickly.
It took close to seven years to get you to play Minecraft.
It actually took that because we were playing in 2013.
And I would refuse to play it.
Why?
So are you saying?
Mainly because.
Maybe the friendship level now.
Well, I would say mainly A, because I didn't want to take the time to learn it on stream
and get roasted for trying to learn it.
Yeah.
Which is inevitable.
And that's part of the allure.
Yeah.
The spectators want to help.
Right?
even when you know Minecraft very well
it's still the most backseated game I've ever played
yeah it has to be yeah but so
that was one of the main points B I obviously didn't want to get
roasted for for competition because I mean back then I mean I would say
I'd say we probably got roasted back then more than we do now for sure
you guys got annihilated like I play Minecraft now and like I haven't really been
receiving any like I think people get it for some reason people get it now
People just got out of that phase of hating.
Well, to be fair,
Minecraft in
Minecraft in 60-50 was more of like a,
it was more of like a thing.
Like you guys did Minecraft.
Now it seems like you guys are playing Minecraft
to get to relax after streams.
And people love that.
Yeah.
Or scrimms, sorry.
Because people love watching you guys scramm
and knowing that you guys were screaming scrimm.
Oh, like,
canceling scrimm.
You're like, I don't know about canceling,
but you guys were like waking up to play Minecraft.
You know what I mean?
Oh, yeah.
It seemed like a priority.
And not scrimmed.
It wasn't.
ever and I hated that people like said that shit.
Well, you also got to understand like at that time, our fans were like, you know,
14, 15, 16.
And then Seth was like three years older than them maybe.
Yeah.
Where now everybody's grown up like the majority of the green wall.
I am very confident in saying it's literally the youngest like segment of that has to be like 18.
19.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
And everybody else is like 18 to like 26.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like the amount of, yeah.
There's still younger kids like what?
And there are young kids, yeah, but I bet you the optic, the majority of the optic fan fan group or fan base is probably in that area.
And when you're saying kids, you're talking about like 16, 17 year olds.
I'd say, I'd say like 14 days.
Are you think?
Yeah.
Especially back in the day.
I look at the data and I said like very, very, very small group.
But you also, like we're going to get to the, what is that, Maddie?
Thank you, Matt.
Look at that.
We got our own Maddie.
Well, that's also.
1.1.2%.
1.2% is 13 to 17. 18 to 24 is 38%.
25 to 34 is 46%.
35 to 44 is 9%. 45 to 54.
Shout out to them.
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
Yo, shout out to the 65 plus that make up 0.7%.
Those are my men.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And women.
So like I know like now because I get messages sometimes with like, yeah,
I was like, when are you guys gonna put out like baby clothes or something?
because our fans are now having to have kids.
That's crazy.
You know, who do you think?
Like, I always, I always like talk to Jude and I try to speculate who's the next, like,
besides karma, who's the next person to have a kid?
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
What do you mean?
No.
You should be like what?
No.
Why are you saying it so confidently?
No children for me.
I'm about this fucking grind.
For how long, though?
Were you 24, right?
Yeah, I still got plenty.
Wait, how old are you?
25.
25.
I always knew.
I always knew.
from the beginning of time that my first kid was going to come at 29 and she did
29.
He's still going to be next though.
Yeah, he's still going to be next.
I think Nick's going to have an accident.
Fuck no.
Well,
I don't think so.
It's impossible,
it's not impossible,
but it's very,
very hard to maintain,
like,
especially my schedule
with a kid.
There's no way.
I wouldn't be able to,
like, be there at all.
Yeah,
that's how I feel.
I would be like,
I wouldn't be able to be there.
It's literally wake up.
I'm either content day,
stream,
into scrims,
through the day. That's it.
Like, that's every day.
Yeah.
So it's like, there's no time.
But that's everybody in the world, though, too, though.
I mean you're not next.
It just means you're real prepared.
Yeah, so.
You might still be next.
If you think about it, like, think about how many people wake up on a daily basis at
six to be at work by eight or nine, right?
Or, and to get their kids to school.
Like, everybody works those eight hour days.
Well, yeah, but having a kid, that's different than having a six-year-old that you drop
off at school every day.
True?
Yeah, I mean, they start out as babies.
And they only, they're not babies forever.
What do you mean they?
Of course they start off as babies.
You think I'm that stupid?
No, I don't think you're stupid at all.
Wait, has I was in Benjamin Button?
Yeah.
How does that movie start?
I've never seen it.
I know the concept though.
How does he start out?
It's like a, like an old baby.
Yeah.
He gets spawned?
He gets birth.
He gets birthed by a woman?
Yes, by a woman.
And she just, how tall is he?
It's a baby, but he's a baby.
But he's wrinkly?
But he's wrinkly, yeah.
And then he grows up as an old person.
Like a little Voldemort?
Yeah.
And then he, he's shrug.
brings back it's like a diamond a three year old 94 year olds did you say diamonds
imagine being a three year old in your head but you're 93 in your body I mean
essentially is the same thing you can't really walk fast and you're still trying to like
grab grab your balance before you get to a certain age that's crazy but I guess
do you do you meet in the middle like when he's 34 was he's 34 yeah yeah that's
dope and then he falls 34 I guess when he's 50 and then he becomes a child right
when he's like 40 he's like actually his age yeah and then he
Oh, he gets like that one spot.
That one little tight.
And then he falls in love.
And then she's like, oh, shit.
She's going opposite.
They're going opposites.
Right?
She's getting older.
Right?
So as she starts.
I've never seen that movie.
Me either.
I'm going to watch it again.
I saw it one time and it was really weird.
Yeah, I got to watch it.
It's weird or is it good though?
You should watch it.
I don't know.
That was before I like appreciated films.
I just kind of went.
You should watch it.
As date nights.
Yeah.
In high school.
You don't know, no deposits with Lex.
Deposits?
That's what you're calling?
What the fuck? You might want to reword that. What you make a deposit you get ROI right? Oh, you're talking
Oh my god. What?
What is called? No, no, no, no, Seth he's next.
One sets one sets is popped out then then that once I once I
Pause it once I've always since high school. I've called it that is it pro create? Yeah once I pro create this world is fucked
Why? Why? Because imagine two of me.
It would just be you
What if it's a female?
Oh, my jeans would take over
Imagine?
What?
Are you saying you have a daughter with a bunch of testosterone?
It looks just like you.
Yeah.
You have a daughter that works out and just
You think his genes would overtake mine?
Yeah, I think so.
The trolley jeans?
No shot.
I mean, I don't know from
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know about
I don't know from a personality
perspective.
maybe that you could overtake,
but I don't know.
I don't think that your dreams would do that
because they skip,
sometimes they skip generations.
Yeah, I don't know.
So your kid's going to be like super shy and quiet.
Yeah.
I think Mama Scump is ready for
to be Grandma Scum.
No, she's not.
Never mind.
I don't think she is.
Wait, are you going to have babies before Jordan?
He's 30.
He's like, he's 32.
So are you an uncle 21?
No.
So Buzz is your only son and the cats are whatever.
Don't call Buzz his son.
I've been in that household.
He's not his son.
He runs that shit.
He's like a stepbrother.
He's my.
Oh, yeah.
He's bad.
He's not bad.
He's a good.
It's a misdustre.
It's like when I try to explain.
When I try to like make an excuse for Seth, I'm like, he's a misunderstood boy.
Buzz is not bad.
He's an innocent boy.
He's a good boy.
He's just unruly whenever he's excited.
Have you talked?
I mean, I don't know.
There's no.
controlling him when he's hype.
Yeah.
I mean,
I often have,
like,
restorations about asking these questions
because, like,
I don't know if you guys,
like,
have you and is talking about kids
or any of that?
No.
Have you and Lex talking about kids?
Absolutely not.
Not really.
Can you imagine?
It comes up.
Like,
she'll be,
she'll be, like,
doing her makeup,
and then she'll do her,
like,
his or her makeup
and, like,
think about how that is.
I mean,
that's definitely gonna happen.
Yeah.
For sure going to happen,
but,
I mean,
as long as that's,
I don't know.
Bro,
just imagine how creative
Good kid.
Very, but possibly could be too much.
Like the kids just up in the clouds all the time.
What?
Maybe. Just thinking about creative.
Just like thinking about crazy shit, but can't fold close.
You know what I mean?
The school.
Should be fucking.
Because I can barely fold close.

I know you can't have watched optic content before in the past without hearing us talk about our favorite male grooming device.
It is the lawn mower 3.0.
So the demographic here listening to this is probably around like late 20s, early 30s, but we all, all of us have a story.
And a lot of people are probably going through these stories right now where, you know, you just, you tried grooming the first or second time and it just was uncomfortable.
as hell and you didn't even get the job done fully. Well, all of that is completely changed now with
with the lawnmower 3.0. I mean, it does. It does everything. Yeah, Manscape does redesign the electric
tremor. The Manscape engineering team spent 18 months perfecting the greatest tremor ever created,
the lawnmower 3.0. And I mean, this is just quality. I mean, it literally says premium,
very premium, uh, shave. The battery will last up to
90 minutes so you can take a longer shit 90 minutes okay I mean well the battery lasts 90
minutes in case you have a forest the Amazon rainforest and you need 90 minutes
now it's time the waterproof technology allows you to groom in the shower which
it does trust me one of the coolest features is the LED light which illuminates
grooming areas for a closer and more precise trimming and shave in the dark
kind of and also let's not forget about the charge
charging stand, show your mower off loud and proud because of this intelligent design stand
is a convenient charging dock powered by USB.
So that's what it is.

Do you think that your kid's going to be like an X-Men?
What is good with you today?
With superpowers?
But what do you think he would?
Super creativity.
If you could have one superpower, what would it be?
For me personally?
Weenie Vision.
What is Weenie Vision?
I need to know what weenie vision.
Please continue.
You can see through your weir?
Bun, weenie vision.
Hot dog.
Dude, you're making no sense today.
Honestly, you're just fucking scaring me.
Wait, no.
Wait, wait, keep going.
I have to know.
You can shoot a hot dogs out of your eyes at any given moment.
Kill bosses.
Wow.
Here's what I originally thought.
Kill bosses, hot dogs.
As soon as you said weenie vision,
I pictured an eye on your weater.
And you can see
How big everyone is
You guys haven't seen the fairly odd parents
Well, show
No, I have and I would fucking be condiment vision
We could be a little duo
Weenie Vision is in that show
And I stole it from that show
Weenie Vision
And your condominant vision
What's up?
Boom, Chicago doll
We're like mermaid
We're like mermaid manner
And Barnacle boy
Hell yeah
So if I was just like, I'm hungry
Bing
Got you
Question.
I could literally sit here right now
and shoot a hundred weenies at your face
and you would be able to do anything.
That wouldn't be.
That wouldn't help his hundred.
Just wieners in my face.
Let me ask you this.
Do you have the,
do you have the option?
Do you have the option to say whether or not
it's steamed, grilled or cold?
Yeah, yeah.
Weird question.
What?
You get you to red weater out?
Like the little red ones?
Oh, yeah.
Kibossages?
With cheddar?
Brought worst.
Imagine you could shoot out.
Sausard dog?
Vienna sausages
Sure
Rapid fire
Sure
But that would be mine
Alright next
Who's next?
I fly
Thanks for sharing
You ready
Mine's weird
Flying
I wish I could go
Invisible
But weeder dogs is cool too
What about you?
You don't know
No I do
Do for the podcast man
We'll cut it
If it's
Just by his face
I can tell
We're gonna have to cut it
I gotta think of another one
That one was way too fuck
What is it? X-ray vision?
No.
No, that was normal.
The thing is...
You're saying you want to see everyone naked?
Ew.
Don't you're saying?
You're so gross.
Like me?
We should be sitting here at the podcast right now.
You'd be singing something.
That's what I thought you meant.
Which I don't.
When you said we need...
That's what I thought you meant.
Like you could see everyone's weenie.
No.
Wait, what?
Okay, that's weird.
Because I thought it was what he was saying where you could see stuff out of your
wing.
Why do you see everyone's whinnie?
I don't hear a winner?
Wait, what?
Like I would I picture like I know like if you're like oh I need to see and then you can see with your wiener as well
So like I saw what do you want to see like like like what do you call a submarine
What do you call that? What do you call that? Oh
What is that call? You are an idiot you are I get it
It's like 360 vision right yeah right no I get that that's good that would be pretty good
No it would not be pretty good I mean why would you but then you would have to but the thing
is you'd have to expose your, you know, because if not, I'd just see my shorts right now.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I was going to say, well, I was going to see the back of your shorts.
Wait, you actually have to pull it out.
Well, you can't, I mean, you can't have x-ray and weeny vision that's cheating.
Oh my God.
So you'd have to have.
Well, we can't call it weeny vision.
We need those topics.
If yours is we needy vision, we need those topics.
We don't need those topics. We don't need those topics.
We don't need those topics.
All right.
Second topic.
All right.
And we didn't finish Minecraft.
Anyway, so you were saying the reason that you didn't,
want to, I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know. There's going to be a lot of, anyway.
That's why it's better, though.
Was this the first time that you've ever played Minecraft?
Yeah.
What?
For real, ever?
Yeah.
How do you like it?
Be honest.
Good.
Would you go as far as to say that is the best game that has ever existed?
Absolutely not.
Name one game that's better.
Halo 2.
See, bingo was his name-o.
I can agree with that.
Halo 2 was a massive.
Because that's how I feel about MonoRfer 2.
It really was.
It was a masterpiece.
Monofer 2 is my favorite game, but I do think that
Minecraft's the best game ever made.
But my Mono Warfare 2 is my favorite game.
Yeah, Mono Warfare is mine.
I think World of Warcraft is the best game ever made.
That's also a good running.
Good running.
Dude, the amount of replayability on that game is like second to none.
Well, I mean, yeah, no, it is second to Minecraft.
Well, okay, maybe.
Minecraft is sick.
But like, once you do everything.
What do Warcraft's like,
Waterworks like Minecraft if it looked cooler.
If you do the same shit, you just go questing and you get items and then you fucking
Go mine and World Warcraft.
I mean some people would say RuneScape for the same thing, just for the replayability.
That type of game.
You can just play, you can do so many different things.
You could go strip down butt naked and go into Orgamore and freaking ask for gold.
The hell?
Have you?
Let me ask you.
I've made a lot of money.
Have you ever done that?
Huh?
Have you ever done that?
No, but I'm saying there's so many different things you can roll play, you can,
You can what now?
You can roll play.
It's like GTA in a sense where you can, it's a sandbox game, kind of.
Like sandbox games are like the best games.
Yeah, because there's so much that you can do.
Those are the ones where I'm like, yeah.
And I would say Minecraft is probably number one sandbox game.
Yeah, I mean, yeah.
World of Warcraft, I wouldn't categorize a sandbox.
I categorize that as like an MMO.
The one thing I don't like about Minecraft is that if I was a first time player
and didn't have your guys help, I wouldn't know what to do.
Like there's nothing that's pointing me in the right direction.
I would just spawn up and be like, I mean, what do I do now?
Yeah, I would know to cut down trees.
Yeah, but without videos too.
That's what I'm saying.
Just the game out of the box.
Yeah.
Well, they have guides.
They have guides.
Yeah, yeah.
Like, it tells you on the upper right hand, on the upper right hand corner, you're going to sign and say, like, go chop down a tree to make tools.
Dude, then you do.
Oh, maybe there is a, yeah.
I had to remember back in the day when you were like eight where you have to buy guides for games.
Yeah.
Like, I used to buy guides.
I used to like Halo.
I bought a guide for Halo.
It was a cheating website.
I had Blinks the time sweeper.
It was a guide.
It was the hardest fucking game
Now guides are like absolutely
The only thought
Also games aren't hard anymore
Have you noticed that
Unless it's unless that's its thing
Like unless it's a dark soul
Unless it's a straight up
Fucking only to make it hard
Right like a Dark Souls or a
Sakaro or whatever the name of that game
I mean what do you mean games aren't hard
Games aren't hard by the game
They hold your hand like a motherfucker now
What? Like Game Boy games
And like original PS like one games
Like those shit's play game boy
Those shit were like hard
Like especially like the beginning
like the first Pokemon's and stuff like that
like those were like hard ass games
to beat and now a day it's like games
just are like easy oh yeah Pokemon
the sword and shield that I played
you literally just get a gear dose like
dude it's so easy by going
you're talking about like some like you were talking about
like Pokemon red and blue he was like yeah dude
fucking Pokemon sword and shield
like the one that came out like last year
that's what he was saying about the easy ones
he's saying it was too easy oh you're saying it was easy
yeah like you could like you beat every trainer
and it's like not hard at all dude I used one
move all the way up until the final
like the final boss and then I just turn the game off
if I turned it back on it would still
be at the there are no games like Mega Man
X did you guys ever play that I played Mega Man
X on Super Nintendo was like super
hard contra was super hard unless even if you did the code
oh Contra I do even if you did the code and got
all the lives like it still took a lot of lives
in order to get to the final like I remember trying to
beat like Golden I
like Audit 64 and it's like
pretty difficult but that's also
in the control it was also what was that
Didn't it come converted?
Turok?
Oh, Turok's really true?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Turok was pretty nasty.
Yeah, Turok was really good.
I don't know.
I do think that with technology, it just makes things easier.
Maybe the games back then were hard because they couldn't figure out a way to make it easy with someone.
Like that's true.
The coding hadn't gotten to the level to where you're like, I can literally make anything.
And also there's a lot of, like, most games nowadays are multiplayer, which are PVPs.
Yeah.
It makes sense to why they would be, you know.
Like, multiplayer's way better than single player.
in my opinion.
Yeah.
Unless it's like a store,
like a good story.
Yeah.
I use single player games
to decompress.
Not,
I play multiplayer
to be competitive.
I literally for...
What?
What do you decompressed?
What do you decompress?
What do you mean?
I played a cyberpunk.
How much of that did you play?
I probably like 70% through,
60% through.
When was you streamed?
No,
I didn't stream it at all.
Actually, he does do that.
Now I'm thinking about it
because you play Star Wars too.
Yeah.
All you do is game.
Not really.
You're a gamer.
Not you watch his movies
Yeah, watch movies
The one thing about that
Like
I watch movies
From a decompression standpoint
Like I've always
Minecraft is always my go to
Anytime like I'm not
That's a fun decompressed game
I will say that
Like after a long day of scrims
You get on Minecraft
And just go like mine
And do dumb shit
And just die
The thing about that
The thing about that too
Is that I was telling him
I was telling him that
Like one day I tweeted
At the end of the day
I'm just a farmer
Tending to his farms
And then I thought
I overthought about it.
I'm like, holy shit, I kind of am, right?
Like, because at the end of the day, I do go home strictly just to farm and to make
sure that this looks good.
And I am that person in that game.
So it's like an extension of you.
And that, like, if I was able to do that in real life and I could see the yield, like,
right away to see them grow.
Like, I think that I would do that too.
But I've always, like, every single time that I played Minecraft, my number one thing
has always been farming it.
Just farming, farming, farming wheat, farming wheat, farming potatoes.
That's what I said this to make in the flycast yesterday.
Like, there's Minecraft, you can.
play it how like there are like 30 ways to even play the game that's like there are people that
farm there are people that mine there are people like damon who get cracked and do everything they want
to do a whole thing in one play through yeah then there's what do Seth what do you do you do
you just like no he built he built yeah he's an architect you built immediately which is
hard to do to be fair what do you mean built immediately like you had stairs and like doors and
stuff like within your first five minutes of playing and I was still like using dirt you never
built a dirt house, which is what everyone does
when they first play. I built a dirt house
immediately my first time playing. See, I didn't even build a house.
You just went straight to mining, right? I just went to go
find diamonds. Yeah, that's so funny.
You guys should, like, obviously, if you
are ever bored and literally there's nothing
to watch, go watch C-Nanners first
walk-through on my, or
play-through on Minecraft. Yeah.
You'll see a Minecraft that, like,
I don't even know if there was spiders back then.
Yeah, like the original, like,
there was no book. No, there was no, of course
not. Yeah, yeah, because he played in the, it was the
beta right yeah yeah there was no book like what do you you memorize it yeah you have to look out
online and shit yeah that's what I was saying like how are you supposed to find anything I mean
World of Warcraft before they had like trust or quest trackers and stuff you had to literally
look up every quest where you couldn't find where it was like you had to go look at it
yeah that's what I was saying games used to be so hard but now it's like I remember World of
World of Warcraft I remember playing the first one when I was like classic a kid vanilla yeah I was
playing it like at my game shack with my with my like buddies from high school yeah but you'd
You get like a trial where you could play for like a couple hours and we would just go to like level 10 and then quit over and over again.
Well, I would.
They'd count.
But like I just remember like it felt like it was so easy to follow the storyline.
From when you spawn, like you just have a little question mark and you're like, what's that?
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
From when you spawned.
But in Minecraft I spawned and I was like, what the fuck do I do?
Do you think the next GTA?
Do you think the next GTA?
You spawned in a GTA?
Or the next like, no.
Spawn?
Sorry.
Yeah, yeah.
Hold on to that thought.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The thing is this is like one of the things that attracted me the most two.
Minecraft is that you're transported to the earliest stages of mankind, right?
Where there's no electricity, no technology, no nothing, and you have to survive the night,
you have to grow your crops.
That's what attracted me to it.
Like actual survival is.
Surviving the night is.
Now there's a lot of games like that.
Have you guys seen Valheim, the new game that came?
Yeah, Diesel's been trying to get me to play that, but I'm like...
It broke 500,000 concurrent players.
Did they?
Only the fifth game to do that.
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah.
On Steam.
On Steam.
I've ever heard of this.
Yeah, it's like, bro, it's super...
It looks, it's like you're a Vikingian.
but you're building your huts and there's trolls around that I'm talking about like
giant it's like it's like another Minecraft both well it's like another rust
I've never played rust so I don't I have no idea what the fuck you do in rust
people people people say that rust is like Minecraft but with people yeah like if you
and Damon obviously yes that shit one of the things that I was thinking of doing
it's like now that everybody's like gotten to this point wipe the server put a put a
put a three life minimum out there and then let's
Let's play the game.
All right.
Like all the progress that you have right now.
Because like Nick would just lie and say he hasn't died three times.
No.
There's what you're going to be like track.
I mean if you're streaming it.
He's died at least four times off stream.
I've died.
I've died two times.
Oh, that's cool.
I've been murdered.
While trying to hope a friend.
Yeah.
Who murdered?
The friend.
The friend?
He killed you?
You died of disset?
I hit him with my fist.
No.
I literally.
fell down.
Wait, you haven't seen that.
I fell on the hole,
and then he was, like,
looking down the hole.
To be fair,
and he went,
oh,
oh,
the hole of the Brandon.
Yeah,
he just fell and tried
to pull out his torches.
That is true.
Brandon's the one,
like,
if he wouldn't have built that,
that trap,
it's very genius of him.
Very content-based.
He's super fucking toxic.
Very toxic,
but very genius.
So toxic for that.
It was funny.
It was funny.
It was.
I don't know.
I just think,
I think that now that you guys,
like,
know everything,
like,
you got to put it all
on the line now.
Right?
Because there's like,
think,
what's that dude's,
Phil's,
Filsa?
Yeah,
the hardcore.
Yeah, yeah.
He lived for eight years.
Five, five, five,
five.
Oh,
I think Nick told me about this.
Five human years
staying alive in that,
in that realm.
How often was he playing though?
Every day.
Every day.
Yeah,
I'll show you his like,
well,
what was he doing in the game?
Everything.
What I'll show you,
I'll show you after this.
How did he not just slip up?
Exactly.
That's why.
No,
if you watch him play,
he plays like,
extremely cautious.
Like,
All the time.
He plays cautious the way that he plays poker.
Oh, not that cautious.
I don't know if anything can be that cautious.
I literally, I lost the last poker game by being not cautious.
Yeah.
No, but that was actually you just hustling the whole thing because you'd won three straight.
I'm not stupid.
We know.
We won four straight.
No one wanted to play it again.
Ah, you sandbag.
You sandbagging so many.
No, I actually, I had a few drinks before I came.
And they were 9% beers and I was fucked.
Yeah.
You're having a good time?
Yeah, because I didn't eat either, so I was on an empty stomach.
So you were just, I should have, I should have, listen, I promise next, next, next.
Huh?
Oh, yeah, and then Nick won't.
You're lucky.
Next time I won't be drunk.
I promise next time they were there, there's going to be odurbs, there's going to be pizza,
there's going to be wings, there's going to be a literal party.
Hell yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
I know what I'm saying?
Hell yeah.
All right, one of the other things that was on the table right there was that the ninja thing.
I look I think that he's gotten close to a hundred
on a back
no I don't want to make
He keeps getting it
And ungruffling it
I don't think it's anybody's business
Yeah I'm just truthfully
I just have
Like I know
He has a shit ton of money
I doubt he said that
And I mean I don't even know what to say to that
Yeah look I
I don't know
CDL Super Week
CDL Super Week
You want to talk about that
Let's go
Matches
Matches
We were talking with the prego
on the pregame show.
But go ahead, back to the ninja.
Yeah, look, again, it's no one's business,
but he is a public personality,
so it kind of is people's business.
I don't think that he's the one that came out and said it.
Yeah.
But I'm, you know, if he did, that's awesome, right?
It tells the entire industry
that there is a possibility
because he just showed you that there's a possibility.
I mean, he pushed the ceiling.
The ceiling is at Ninja height right now.
There's no way.
And I don't see anybody hitting.
I mean, there's a few instances where people have going,
to where he was in 2018, but
yeah, up to, no, no, no, no.
I know, I know exactly, I know exactly,
that is, that is the ceiling right now
until it gets pushed higher.
Yeah, that's the bar.
Yeah, that's where it's crazy.
Yeah, which is, I mean, look,
and if you, if you look at, like,
obviously, like Tim, Nick Merck's,
like they're fucking Uber successful, right?
Like, Uber fucking successful.
But to get to a point to do what Ninja did
is like, that's a once in a lifetime sort of thing
until like, or once every 10 years sort of thing, right?
Let's count about the superstars that have happened in the gaming industry
I can go as far back as Hutch and then immediately there's C-Nanners
because that's the one that became like fucking super
fucking successful but then after that came what Vanos and crew?
What was the other one guy?
K-Y R Speedy and them.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What about that one dude that was fucking he was in the car?
X-Jaws.
Yeah, X-Joss 2.
Is he big?
He was big, right?
See, that's the sort of thing that pushes the needle forward because
Somebody out there, some gamer out there is going to be like, if he can do it, I can do it and I'm going to do it, right?
If you look at when X-Jol said to the public, or I don't know how he got out that he was like he made $50,000 one month, everybody was, everybody dropped what they're doing and he immediately changed the game.
Yeah.
Immediately changed the game just knowing that you can make $50,000 a month.
Everybody started uploading.
And then from there you see obviously like the insanity that's happening now, right?
Where people are making millions of dollars a month just doing the wildest shit ever.
So I'm glad
Look whether he did or didn't
Whether he is or isn't
Like I believe it I don't believe it
Like obviously it's semantics at that point
Whether he's over 100
Under 100 by how much
It doesn't matter
The fact is is that it is a possibility
And people are going to continue
Like he's just the first
Of many to come
To make hundreds of millions of dollars
In the gaming industry
All right
If you think about athletes
Call it the LeBrons
Call it the
Who else is like
Tiger Woods
Mega mega mega riches
Like
Who's that soccer player
Messy, Ronaldo
Someone just fucking signed something
I think
What was it?
Namor?
Was it Namer?
No, I thought it was
messy but
I could be wrong
He like retired
And he's coming back for like a year
Or not retired
But like he said he's gonna play another year
Under a different team
And then he's like 500 million or some shit
What the fuck?
I didn't hear about this
It was insane
The thing is like
For a year
Yeah no
It was like five years or something
Or like Patrick Mahomes
It now paid fat too
Patrick Mahomes
Five hundred more money
million?
500 million?
For 10 years.
Yeah, whatever.
What are you going to do a 50 million year?
Like what?
That's so much money.
Yeah, man.
Imagine.
But then you look at, again, this is not, but then you look at e-sports, right?
Like this is a digital realm, right?
The second that something happens where you can sell a digital token, call it skins from Counter
Strike, call it skins and whatever, like, then you have like an unlimited range of, of, uh, you
unlimited range of
possibilities to make
just loot left and right.
It's insane.
But I'm glad that whether he did or didn't, and
congrats, obviously that's super good.
But, you know, he's not the first. He won't
be the last. It's just so wild that
the next generation, the next generation
that's born and when they become teenagers,
we're going to be able to be like, oh yeah, like
when we were coming up, the people
that were playing for flights.
Like they were playing for
$300. Yeah. They
didn't have salaries.
They were getting flown out.
Like, they were playing, like, it's not like it is today.
Because, I mean, 15 years from now, people are probably going to get even, I mean,
the side.
Yeah, it's going to keep going higher.
Dude, back then, it was just cool to say that you were sponsored.
Right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And, like, it could be by nothing.
By, it could be sponsored by my dad.
Yeah, dude, this shit's fucking done.
Yeah, he sponsors, man.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
$500 salaries.
Some light.
I mean, you guys were lucky to even have salaries.
You all, I remember the first time we got a salary from him.
We were, like, 13 championships deep already.
Like, and we were so stoked.
And our salary was like 1600 bucks.
You're welcome.
And we were like, dude, let's fucking go.
We were like the first people to get salary.
That's why.
Yeah, nobody in college was salary.
Besides like Cole and they were fighting there.
They were fighting tooth and nail for 500 bucks.
Like tooth and nail for 500 bucks and they were the most winningest team ever.
Was it EG or Cole?
What's it cool?
Well, hold on.
It was that team.
I don't know.
We were the most winningest team ever.
No.
No, you are now.
You are now.
I'm saying in blackups two
Ghost
Gotta protect that
Gotta protect that
Yeah yeah no
Of course
No I'm saying
Yeah
I as as
And if you think about like
Where E-sports is
Nothing to do with that
Like if you think about what E-sports is
Like it's not even there yet
Right
It's still like so young
It's still the next big thing
It's still already big
And it's already big
Well this is this is what's intrigued me
I swear to God
In the last decade
Pokemon has been the one thing
That has intrigued me
The most
Turtle beaches.
And I'm going to tell you why it's intrigued me the most.
Those are crazy.
Those are fired.
It's intrigued me the most because of the amount of press that it's getting on,
on something that's going to be gone.
It's going to be gone.
It's going to be gone.
And there's no like 40 of them left.
Okay.
Are you talking about the first edition boxes?
Yeah.
There's no one, like 40, 50 of them left.
And then one dude has.
How much are they going for?
The last one just sold for 450.
Are you sure you?
You don't want to buy a pack?
Well, that's different.
That's like buying a stock and hitting the top.
I don't know.
Obviously, I'm only doing this because you said it would be a fun thing.
And it fucking sure was.
Thank you for that because it's,
the stream is going to be,
the people we have already lined up to buy.
Because the only person who's ever done the way we're doing it is Ludwig
and he sold to only creators.
And it was like,
he got like so many viewers.
And like it was a really fun stream to watch.
So we're doing the same thing like within Optic and then also like our close like
creator friends.
around that. It's going to be so much fun.
Yeah. So what which
if you were to count like this is this like a
like the first edition box that the
Logan was right Logan's doing.
Is that first edition? Is the second edition? What is this?
Like where does that? So first edition.
For my understanding, first edition is like the first run
of the cards. Yeah. And it's the special edition
and then they and then they do it in bulk. And that's like
that's called the unlimited set. So we have the unlimited
set still printed in
1999 or 2000 or whatever
Yeah
So this is the first
I mean this is the first ever
Pokemon cards
Uh huh
Yeah it's still dope as fun
It's still insane
But I mean the first edition
Like I said
They're so hard
How much do you think those go for
In like two years
That's the thing
Dude the thing is
The longer people hold them
They're just gonna keep going up
Yeah and like so there's
The guy that holds the last two
Is the fucking man
Oh he's getting like fucking
A couple of milt
It's gonna be
I mean there's this guy
His name's Gary
He's like the biggest
Pokemon collector ever.
Like everyone knows who he is in like the Pokemon
world and he has he has a
case of him. The case is six
boxes and he said he doesn't
have it open. He just has one flap open
and so you can see the boxes.
Six boxes.
He's and then now or maybe he
has nine. I think he has nine. But the
case is six. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's fucking
that's crazy. I mean right there
450 that's. And he said he'll never sell
him. He'll never sell them. He'll only
pass them down to his kids.
Crair. Why?
That's good.
I mean, it is good.
I'm actually, they're just fucking grabbing
with chito fingers and
fucking bending the cards
and shit.
Oh my God, he's just sitting there.
When he passes it to his kids,
his kids are not going to be seven.
Yeah.
They'd instantly just tear them up.
When they're like, Daddy, what's this box?
And then they're probably shouldn't go
into it without saying anything.
He's going to come home a day.
There's going to be fucking crayons drawn
in all the charsards.
Imagine you wake up to that.
Imagine you're not.
Imagine this
Imagine this scenario, right?
He has two kids and both of them are super athletes
What nothing to do with video?
They're just like, what the fuck?
Nerd.
That shit out of here, nerd.
But yeah, no, I'm super psyched about it.
But it's like, I think about
I think about what's going to happen
in the next two to three years
and I see a world in which that dude, right,
has the last nine and he can set the price.
Dude, people will buy it because they want
what's in there.
Dude, the influx is crazy.
Like, Logan Paul bought his.
He was the first one to open it forever.
Yeah.
A first edition box.
Yeah.
He bought his for 250.
And everybody was like, that's insane.
Yeah.
What has it been?
Four months?
Yeah.
And now it's 450.
Yeah.
And he's got, I mean, it's, they're worth more.
Buying them instantly made them more valuable.
Dude.
And he sold.
He auctioned off every pack.
Yeah.
The packs were selling for like 35,000.
One sold for $40,000 for one pack.
Yeah.
Are you fucking serious?
How many packs?
Are you in a box one 30 six packs so he probably made his money back oh pro what probably of
dude he probably made like one point what is it like 1.6 or something for that one box yeah
you made you made at least a million but the thing is is he sold it last time for 11,000 a pack
and everyone that bought one like it made people's careers because like content creators were buying it for
promotion yeah and like there are i i know of people that have like they weren't getting many views
before that and now since like clickbaiting it and shit like that like well i like i like what psa is doing
where they adding the the logan paul set because it is important that is important because that is a
part of that history yeah it is pretty cool because if you're opening the last three you can literally
run the back of it destroy it by writing last three and it makes it more valuable because
they saw you on camera opening and it comes from that specific box it's really it is really crazy
exactly steve a oakey has his has does his too if you open a car
charge hard hard ever pulled yeah ever think about that that'd be crazy dude that would shoot the price so
yeah so yeah exactly it's the last one and that's the that's the that's the one thing that you can do
right even if it's even if it's graded if it's the last charge aren't it's graded at fucking eight
is still more valuable than anything else out there because it's the last of its kind that is
this is i didn't think about this so right now but the the box that just sold for 450 it's all
there's not a card in there
that could be more expensive than that.
And that's the first time that's happened.
Because the last Charzard,
Logic bought the last Charzard for $3.50, I think.
And the box had sold for $250.
So no one's even going to open.
So no one is going to get their money.
I mean, well.
It's going to like five Charzards.
Well, I guess if, yeah.
So I guess you can get your money back off the pack
because people are buying like $30,000 for a pack.
If you open the Charzard,
it could be like $100,000.
So that, dude.
That's fucking genius
That's genius
That he did it that way
A hundred percent
A hundred percent
Because again
It doesn't matter
It's the moment
And anybody that's out there
That wants one
But can afford it
Guess what?
In 10 years
You will be able to afford
Probably all of them
And you are gonna pay
Whatever price somebody puts out there
Because you have the money to do it
Right
What was your thing?
What did you just say?
What did you just say?
In 10 years
Everyone can afford
$450,000 dollars
No no somebody out there
Is what I'm saying
Somebody out there
Will be that successful
To where they can buy
anything
They want and whoever's selling it sets the price and he's not gonna give a fuck I had too much money
I'm gonna buy it
That's true I want to own it
That's the thing is like there's always there's always someone with more money
Yeah and that and those people with more money always like they have shit like they have shit like they have shit like they have shit like
They have their thing yeah they have their thing is Pokemon
Like like like uh the same guy that I was telling you about sorry I'm like going over
But the same guy was telling you about that has all this like Pokemon shit that has the case or whatever
He has three Beckett 10 Charzards they've never been sold they're a lot harder to grade than PSAsas and
He's got what?
So Beckett is another grading company.
Beckett gave me a 9.5 on my...
Yeah, so he got his card grade...
Oh, so PSA's a grading company?
Right.
And then Beckett's another one.
Yeah, so PSA is a little bit easier to grade
because they give more tens.
So Beckett, there's only three Beckett 10 Charzards.
And he has all of them?
He has all of them.
And he has never...
How much are they worth?
There's no...
There's no price.
No one's never bought one.
Because he has all of them.
He's not got sold.
Yeah, and he said he's been offered
up to like 700,000 for the...
that one card.
He said Justin Bieber offered him money for the card.
Like that's what I'm saying like those kind of people want to buy shit like that.
Right, right.
And he has three of them.
He has three of them.
Not just three.
He has all of them.
The crazy thing is is apparently there's four out there.
There's listed four on the Beckett website, but nobody knows where the fourth one is.
And he said he'll give people $50,000 just to find where it is.
He has a bounty out on the fourth one just to find it for $50,000.
That's crazy.
Isn't that fucking nuts?
That's so wild.
Like what world is going on over there?
What?
It's so wild.
It's nuts.
Which is, again, my point.
Like, nothing has intrigued me as much as what's happening right now.
Yeah.
Because it's so fun.
It's united like everybody from everywhere.
A rapper bought it for that much.
A YouTuber.
Gary V.
Obviously, you know, had a massive, massive.
Dude, I was just going to say in 2016, when when Pokemon Go came out, bro, that was one of the
craziest things I've ever.
ever seen in my life. I remember I went out like one of the first times I went out like three in
the morning at like Long Beach Pier and there was probably like 6,000 people there. Dude and I was just like
what the fuck is going right actually yeah literally and I was just like this is so cool if you lived in a city
during that time like I've heard stories of the Santa Monica Pier yeah the Santa Monica Pier yeah the
Santa Monica Pier downtown uh Chicago there's a pier that was just being you go there
I've been I've been yeah what's the big fucking park in uh New York Central Central Park
Apparently that was just insane. Apparently it was just crazy. There was videos coming out with people just like in stonking
On Twitch that the dude got fucking punched in the face
What remember this dude's like this dude's live streaming trying to find Pokemon and then some dude comes from the side of fucking knocks him
What? He takes all his shit picks it up and he's like oh shit
Are you serious? Yeah
Bro when that game came out you could just scream and fuck dude there was this one time I was a San Rock appear and we heard someone for in the ocean
Yell Blastoys and there was probably a thousand people in the water up to like knee high just like
catching a blastoys we've fucking caught it it was like that is crazy it was
thing everyone just goes though it was nighttime too like you're just like
there's that video sharks hunt at one of the Paul brothers one of the Paul brothers
one of the Paul brothers just dragon it's just a stampede of people I've seen some
dude there were some crazy videos it's all anyone was talking about that like that was a
crazy and everyone was playing it everyone dude like everyone I was like any age group because
parents could play with their kids yeah I literally played it because I was in
Santa Monica and I saw a Pikachu and Liv had no
Pikachu. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. And I'm like, all right.
Like, but I get it now. You don't mean? Like I get it now.
Yeah. Like that's one time one dude called
Big Time. Remember that? It's like somebody's like, oh my God, you're like a
Pokemon. You're never at events. I'm so glad that I'm getting a picture with you.
And I was like, fuck that means. I know what it means. Yeah, you get it. You know what I mean?
Which is super, super, super ill. Anyway, I think that we went on a little bit
super super good. I like that last segment of it. You know what?
We just need to get started.
And the thing is this...
I think the first chaotic part was really funny, too.
Yeah.
So tell me about it.
So just so everybody knows...
March 3rd.
Tune in, March 3rd.
We're probably going to do it at like noon so that the guys can still scrub because that's right before they're...
