How did you deal with losses? It depends. How did you deal with all those fucking losses? How did I deal with my many, many balls? Many heartbreak. I just got used to it. I was just like, ah. What is this?

Just a regular podcast, right? All right. It's just a regular podcast. I got my shots today. So you're not allergic anymore to anything? No, I'm allergic as far. So I can sneeze on you and you'd be fine? I'm allergic to everything.

Oh. So you're not allergic for the next 15 minutes? How does the shots work? I get the shots. I hope they work. So eventually it will cure. A.k.A. straight placebo effect. So what does it do? They basically give you your allergens to build up your immune system so that at a certain point, after you keep getting fucking injected with it, they keep upping the dose and then eventually you're not allergic to it because you've gotten so much of it put into your immune system.

I don't know I mean I'm not a doctor Do you feel improvement? No No no No you don't see improvement For like four months

That's how they get you Right They give you nothing Four months of payments Four months of trade placebo And they give you the real thing Damn It's $13 per visit

Oh that's not that bad They're running to the bank I'm surprised you're willing to do that If they're running to the bank With that then Good job Let's do something crazy today Let's start out with a question.

All right. What we got. Chad says, how do you think the rookies who have never played on land will compete in a live setting in front of a crowd? Some will break down.

Some might do pretty good, but some will for sure break down. What's like the best rookie, like, appearance there has ever been on land? Yeah, Simpin and Selly's first. Not selling them. You don't think so? No, I'm pretty sure I got body, but I helped to get London.

I remember watching it. Didn't it? It was a Black Ops 4 event. He was a, Sally. I thought it was a Black Ops 4 event. He got a 1V4. And I thought that was... On Bridlock?

Yeah. That was in the last chance qualifier. Oh, but it wasn't that his first... Was that his first? It was like... Yeah, kind of. So that's a weird one to... Because you hop in on land, but you're not playing, like, on the top teams.

I think Simp went off in, like, London or something. Yeah, yeah. It was Tim for sure. Yeah. out of all the rookies the past like what how blackups four was two three years ago I mean he's the only rookie that's played on land yeah yeah that is true it's been forever yeah literally like him I mean a Beasy was already played war war two so yeah yeah yeah and then I guess Bruce too played World War II yeah Bruce played World War II as well yeah so yeah it has

yeah yeah he got picked up mid year I think didn't he yeah he got picked up uh we've Played him. Oh, yeah, because Abizi was their star player. Yeah. And then they picked up Simp, and people, like, people kind of forgot about Abizi, but Ibizu was still frying. That's what Clay would say. Huh?

You replaced Cap. Oh, my God, yeah, that's right. Damn. I forgot you replaced Cap. Simper replaced Cap? Yeah, the team got Godlike. That's so fucked up. They were just...

I'm just something I mean. I just mean the team really did get Godlike. Wait, who was the team of Cap on it? Play, Preston, Alec, and Bezzi? the same team but i don't think the cap like that team though i think he but it heads with clay i think i don't know i don't know that was for i forgot that he even played on the team am i the j cap of halo no no you wish yeah oh you're the so jcap's actually like who is he comparable to in cod yeah who's the cod maniac major maniac is a stainville he's like

he's like he at all stainville he hasn't played like 10 years how many kids that's You haven't either. One was the national championship. He won two chips. So. Him? Yeah, who's won two chips? I'm sure a lot of people.

Censor. Dog shit players probably. There's some players that never won. You just roasted yourself. Yeah, but I'm not them. Yeah, but I'm not them. There's nobody like you, man. Think about the people that never won.

Like, Naded? Dude, Nade got like 50 second places. And never won. That's rough. That's so weird. He went to like 100 tournaments? I'm 2 and 0 in the finals. He was so good.

You're 2 and 0 in finals? Get you the finals, you win? I was trying to tell my teammates that. No one ever stepped it up. Are you counting the one with me? Yes. Damn. Oh my God.

That's just horrible. That's counting that win. Yeah. Is that countable? I can get. I'll count that. I mean, I don't really count that, but I do count it. I count it just because it was so fun.

Like, I've won two events. I don't call them championship. We didn't even practice. It was so fun. That whole weekend was so fun all four of us. Just like, not even caring and winning. Yeah.

You're like, how are we winning? That was the best. That was the best event. One of the best events. So no one compares to me? I would say censor, because he's never lost in finals either.

Bro, I'm not censor. And you guys are both chat. Everyone who talks about censor and God is like he's garbed. He's trash. No, no, no, no. He's never lost the finals. But there's more to me than never losing a finals.

Like playing good at every event. So you're like me. Exactly. Play good at every event. Playing good at every event. Laying God, Redhead, good looking. You're basically describing Seth. Damn.

You're saying kind of for me or you? I'm saying you're the, you're the kind of me. Yeah, kind of. Or no, you're the halo. Okay. I'll take that. I'll take that to. Agreed upon.

Jesus. Good Lord. Standoff. Standoff's coming back. Do you think, how do you think he's going to play for control? What? That was specific? Well, it's just because, because we know it's going to.

We know it's going to play great for Hardpoint. Do we? Yeah, we don't know that. I guess we don't. That would really fucking suck. Raid plays so different than it in Blackups 2. It's like, it's not even the same map. Yeah.

It is the same map. It's not the same map. Dude, that would really. Now you can slide cancel people and shit. That would really suck if you. Didn't slide Blackups too? No. No, you could dolphin dive.

But a dolphin dive was a free kill. Oh yeah, you dolphin dive You only dolphin dive When you were trying to cap a flag I think it'd be kind of trolley If you accidentally pressed If you accidentally press a stick Or B or whatever it is

You couldn't cancel it No So you just full commit to the fucking Flop in the middle of the Can you just keep doing that around the map No Because it would take you forever to get back What was?

Wasn't there a Cod like that Or you could kind of just keep Dauphin Dauphin Duffin Dye? Blackups 3 at the very beginning Like the G slide thing Oh yeah that was so fun Yeah Everyone's wrong around with despors.

Like kids could cross a nap in five seconds. You're like a pancake when you hit the ground, right? I don't know. Eating blackups too? Black up straight. AW that was one too. Nagafen did it. It was like the turtle strafe.

You like snake super hard. Oh yeah. And you turn to like this little ball in the air. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking about. You like, yeah, you'd hit the ground. And it looked crazy from someone's POV because Nagafin like 1 v2 on Detroit. And it looked crazy. We killed one and went behind the wall and did it.

and you were like, what the fuck? He's like a little frog just like flying across the screen. What the tech of that is? There really isn't any. I mean, just press all the buttons. People just find, a lot of movement, a lot of that shit's not meant to be in the game. I mean, yeah.

I'm sure a lot of the stuff that you guys do every day. Halo 5 was full of shit like that. Dude, whenever people would hover in the middle of the air and then figure that shit out. Dude. Halo 5 was so weird to watch at the at one point. I feel like people were finding new shit in the air. 505 like years later. I bet you still could.

They were finding like jump spots. I'm sure there's, yeah. Even to this day. People were still playing that dog shit. I would watch streams and be like, dude, I watched like Frosty or something. And I'd be like, dude, what the hell? I didn't even know this is possible.

He's like doing shit around the map. Yeah. But in terms of standoff, I mean, at this point, like, just bring in slums, bring in fucking. Right. Like, they're slowly but surely getting rid of all the Cold War maps. Dude, like

So do you guys What? Get it off your chest. Say it now. Dude, can we get some new original good maps? Dude, these were eight years old. I've played the fuck out of these, man. Like, as good as it is to like have good maps, like guaranteed good maps,

like we're basically just playing Black Ops too with slide canceling. Yeah. We've got Express standoff rain. But wouldn't that make it a good game? Yeah, it would. Low key. Does it?

I'm kind of excited. I mean, I mean, it makes it better, but like, you know what I'm saying. I do know what you're saying, but I've talked about this many times. I can't remember the last time that a legendary map was made in Cod. And that's not like a shot towards Cod. There's been, there's been good maps. There's been good maps.

There hasn't been a raid. Like, what would you say there's some good maps from like Blackups 3 or Black Ups 4? Like, what was a really good map of Blackups 4? Arsenal? I mean, yeah. Arsenal's pretty good. Freak was like, all right. Haseenda was a pretty good map.

I liked Hossi. See, like, there's good maps But they're just not, like, on that, like, prestigious level. Right, right. But that's because, like, the game mechanics are completely different. Yeah. Like, in Halo, we played, like, sanctuary, like, six different times. Right.

In, like, every... There's going to be a sanctuary in the next Halo, too. I mean, modern warfare, like, were there any good... No. And maybe that's what I was thinking of. It's, like, modern warfare. This game, I mean, what good maps are in this game right now? I like Moscow.

Express. And, uh, Raid. Moscow's all right. I like Moscow. Moscow. Yeah, I don't like Miami. We don't like Miami. I mean, there's really not, I mean, there's not a, there's not a map in this game that two years later I'm going to be like, damn, I missed that map.

And that's unfortunate. Checkman? We love check. We love check. Well, I mean, that's different. You guys, like, make money off maps. I'm saying, like, whenever I go in and play a pub, I'm not like, oh, man, I can't wait to check every corner of this plane right now. I run that plane.

That runs the plane. I run that fucker. I am king plane. Okay. I'm not going to check the corners of Seth's plane. You're flying Air Force scumpy up there. The PPSH is coming back. If I was hags, I would have crumpled a paper up.

Really? Yeah. Let me see the paper. Wait, was that a topic? The PPSH is coming back? Yeah, but... Well, it's included with standoff because that's the news that we got yesterday.

standoff's coming back and then the PPSH is being added back. Wasn't that the World War II? Yeah, the World War II. But it's going to be way different than the World War II guns. That's the thing is like... And it's not going to get used. The 74U is so overpowered. The 74U and Milano are the only guns that are going to be used this year for subs.

Wait, you guys are using Milano and Scrums? Dill has been on certain maps. Hell yeah. I love when he gets fucking weird. Dude, last year he had his Uzi on Gun Runner. Every time he used something and they... piecing with it. With the Milano.

Yeah, he's been piecing with it. It's pretty crazy. Like, but it only works on certain maps. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Raid with all the head glitches and stuff to have like a sub that shoots really straight. Yeah.

And just be able to rip people off headies. But I don't think the 74 U is going to get replaced. But hopefully, I mean, hopefully, I mean, I like the meta right now, so I don't really want anything coming into the meta.

Like, I think the meta right now is perfect. And you guys, whenever a new patch comes in, you guys play the previous patch the whole season. Yeah. So, yeah, so we didn't play the new patch until after our major. And that's another reason why it's like hard to stream scrimms right now is because like, or stream anything because if we're playing on an old patch at the major and then we want to stream the new patch,

it's like this patch compared to the old patch, it's like completely different. Yeah. It feels like the movement feels better, like, weirder. Everything's completely different about the game. So it's like playing league play is hindering like your performance in a sense. Playing Wars on Hinser is hindering your performance. So you're playing two different patches? Yeah, literally.

That's why it doesn't just update the patch for. So people are like, why don't you stream league play? It's like we're literally playing on the old fucking patch. Yeah. Because people, it's because people don't want to say like, okay, we played this team on this patch. Like, and it's unfair that we had to play another team on a different patch. Yeah. So they play the whole season.

So they play the whole thing on the same patch. Oh. And there's a patch release like every couple weeks. And they release. Yeah. be that cycle for probably the whole year. So like when you go play league like it's like playing a different game.

It's like a different game. Dude. So whenever you play. So whenever you play you play the whole season on one patch and then there's the major. The stage. Not see. This like four to different. Stage. The whole stage on one. So we played. We play the patch got released probably. A week into it. A week into stage two. And we played on that old patch the whole stage. And then did you update it before the major or the

No, it's the same patch. The whole, so for a full month, we were on an older patch than what everyone else was playing. That's wild. So you guys, that makes more sense why you guys can't really. It's literally like. You don't stream scrimms at all anymore, do you? We haven't been. Yeah.

That's mostly because we're just playing mess of 11. Yeah, we're going to start again. I would, I would say. I mean, Best of 11 is like we can stream them, but it's like, we don't want to block out our screens for search. We could, but like people are just like, why is the screen black? Why can't we hear audio? Why can't we? It's like, it's just a hassle

because people don't understand why we're doing it. And like it's really good practice for us too, so we need to play them. Yeah. Like you get really good practice during those. Yeah. Because it's like an actual series

with a hard point control search, hard point control search. Yeah. So it's like... Okay. Playing five best news in a row, you can get like super lazy. Get bored.

Because like by the fourth or fifth map, you're just fucking trolling. Yeah. Just running it cuts, not doing anything you would do in a match. It's like... When you do it's actually really good. Yeah, I mean,

hopefully it's actually, the PPSH is fun. I don't really want the meta to change, so I don't want the PPSH to be coming in. Yeah, I like where the ARs are. I like how the meta is. Like right now, I don't want it to change for the rest of the year

because we've already been changing a lot of shit. Yeah. Yeah. The ARs are still Kilo. A kilo. Craig? Craig. What did I'm, what am I? You're thinking of war zone.

Oh, yeah, yeah. The Craig? What the fuck? Dude, that just like hit my, I've never even. It's still Craig and Cuba. BZ at like certain times. Yeah, I use QBZ sometimes. Oh, okay.

So I like the matter where it's at. PPSH. Hopefully it's fun for people to use, but I don't want it to come in. Wait, so you guys can't use the big dragon gun? No. No, I mean, you can. Yeah, you can. But we'd have to buy it on our CDL account. You can use in a match.

There's just no point. We're not going to spend 20 bucks and use a dragon in a match. That would be so dope, though. But it would, it wouldn't even matter because the skin, our skin would get put over it. So only you would be able to see it. Because our camo and like everything. we get put over. Does it shoot laser lasers out of it?

Yeah. Yeah, we wouldn't be able to use it then. Oh, those are G8. It's super distracting. Yeah. There's someone shooting you with that. But next up, nuke event in Warzone.

I could give less of a fun. I know, bro. I swear they've been saying this for a year. No, apparently I haven't played war zone in eight months. I haven't played in over a year. There's been, regardless, whatever is coming to Warzone,

I don't want to trash it, but like, Fortnite did this nine times before anything's happened in Warzone. You know what I mean? It's taken them a minute for the buildup. Yeah. It's been a minute for this to happen. This better be sick.

Oh, wait. I feel like I've been seeing like talking about nuking downtown and shit. Dude, I heard that. No, they're going to nuke the whole map and it's going to be a new map. Apparently there are little screenshots of like the whole entire map being snow.

So like maybe the map. Like nuclear winter? Yeah. I'm so fucking smart. Um. But do you remember the first Fortnite event where there were like telescopes pointing up to the sky and then there was like a tiny little like crack in the sky? I think it was a crack in the sky and people were like, wait, I think there's a meteor coming. And I was like there's no way that Fortnite has like the ability to do that.

And then like lo and behold every like every like other day like it would get closer and more telescopes would appear on the map. And like people just kind of figured it out. Their events were sick. Dude, they're so dope. Does that just mean like the Fortnite? fucking I don't know what you call them like engineers or coders or just like godlike and and whoever like is the writer of it like everyone's lobby you could play as like what the same war or whatever that is do you remember like the marshmallow concert yeah yeah

weren't you weren't you watching it with someone yeah and of course was like ace no I was with like my like random fortnight friends um but the the marshmallow event, of course, my shit, like, glitches. Oh, yeah, that's what happened. I can't watch anything. I'm like, I'm up the clouds. I'm like the only person, like, somehow I get glitch. Yeah, you're just screaming.

You were like way above the concert. And I just kept floating up. It just never stopped. That'd be hilarious if he heard like, you know, in like movies and shit, when it's like, bass you like hear it through the wall, it'd be so funny if you could like barely hear. I don't know if it did that or not.

Like muffled bass. It might have been like, Like proximity chat? Dude, that would be super funny. But yeah, I mean, I don't, I haven't been following war zone like literally at all. It's so boring to me now. At all. They've been talking about that new thing for a while.

I would play it if it was on the same engine. But obviously, it's not. Yeah. Like, I'd probably, I'd prefer to play that over pubs probably. Yeah. In this game? Probably. For sure.

But we can't because it's a different engine. Have you guys played that like big ass playlist on? On Cold War. Yeah. Fire bomb. Oh yeah. It's not great. It's not fun.

It was okay. Yeah, it was okay. The game type is not that fun. But I think if they just took that map and made it like a little tiny BR out of it in Cold War, I think that would be fucking fun. Like a little blackout too. I really, really hope that next year's cod has a separate BR so that we can play it. Yeah. Wow.

I really hope. I don't think it would. It's like I love playing BRs. I'd rather play BRs to pubs now that they're out. Just because BRs are just like, they're just so fun. You can go for like records. You can,

you can mess around if you want. They're hilarious. Like, there's moments where me and Matt have been just crying. Yeah. It's just dumb shit. Yeah, and pubs,

that's not going to happen. Pubs are just like slang out and whatever. Just like every once in a while you say something to chat. Yeah. But then they say that Warzone is like, war zone? Like,

that's their, final iteration of BR pretty much. Yeah, basically. That's what the original story was, is that that's what they're going to keep as Warzone as the main Call of Duty BR. But what I've heard is that World War II is not being integrated into Warzone.

Are we boring? I know what you're thinking. I can't wait to get back to that podcast. It was just getting real juicy. And so we'll get you there right after we talk about ExpressVPN, which is the title. sponsor for today's podcast.

What I've heard is that the next, that World War II coming out is not going to integrate into Warzone. So it'll be the first COD released since MW. That's not going to be a part of Warzone. But I just heard that off of like a random like Charlie Intel article. So that could be completely false. I don't know what to believe anymore. You neither. God is a shit show.

Anyways. All right. Vince Vega asked the question. what is your guys' go-to strategy to regain after a tough loss? Excessive amounts of booze. Dude, when we lost, I went home and instantly just got fucked up.

I felt for y'all. Like usually I'll, well, not usually, I'll laugh when you guys lose, but... Jeez. I don't. Like, usually it's like, damn, they lost. But, like, usually I don't really give a fuck. because I just don't.

Thanks. But whenever you guys lost that lot. I usually just don't care if they lose. I just don't give a fuck. I mean, it sucks when you guys lose, but like, this last one. Oh, yeah, I got really. I felt like, oh, my God,

I can't even imagine if I was playing. That shit was rough. All that hard work and practice to go out like that. And it's like, you taste the victory. Do we were playing it so well? Like the map five and like the whole series Battling Battling

Battling Battling bro The call out Or the fucking like screaming callouts Nice After wins Good shit

That's fucking go We were We were battling Bro That was That's why Yeah Oh my god

It sucked That's why like seeing that What was it The Rocker tweet That's who you guys Lost to right Yeah Yeah seeing them tweet that afterwards

It was like Like Now was not the time to say something like that. You don't understand. You don't understand. That show is crazy. Well, how do you regain besides booze?

I don't know. I feel like I've lost so many times in such, like, shitty ways. Yeah. It's, like, hard for me to stay mad at it. Because, like, yeah. I think, I don't know. I need a night usually. I think the night, yeah.

You take longer than I need to regain. The night, you'll be pissed a whole day. I don't, you just, you hate life for that. That's what I'm saying. I've never seen a loss. hit the guys so hard than after black ups three champs yeah that one sucked that one that one was like a week long because it's like dude that was like a month long yeah yeah like almost that whole off

season was horrible dude i mean any time you lose a champs you're usually fucking the thing the thing with that one is it was the first champs at the end of the year so like that was the first time you guys worked the whole year to play a tournament at the end of the year so you're frying the whole year yeah you guys were shitting the whole year and then that shit happened and then you left and then you went to Miami or fucking Hawaii or something. So everyone in the scuff house was just like

Wait, did I go rogue? Where'd I go? You guys both did. Both of you did. I just left. Wait, where was the event at? I didn't want to be in the house of cows. You left immediately from Cali. I stayed in Cali. And went somewhere else.

Because I remember at the scuff house for the next like two weeks, I was like, dude. And Pomaj was like, are you still like low-key sad from that tournament? And it was like a week and a half later. I was like, yeah. I don't know why. Yeah, every now and then, like, during that all season, I'd be like, just like, I don't,

chilling or something, being in a good mood, and I would just think about it. I'm like, I'd just be so pissed off like a hour. God damn it. Yeah, loss is suck. Next stop. Yeah, it should hurt. Well, a good thing is, is you won't have a loss as bad as that one ever again. They all hurt the same.

They all hurt the same? All of them hurt the same? I mean, losing fucking sucks. Yeah, it does hurt. I think there's different levels of hurting. Yeah. Like certain ways you can lose You're just like damn, we just trolled

Oh yeah yeah no yeah I agree with that We trolled Trolling is the worst way to lose Like knowing you should have won And you just fucking trolled You outplayed you did the hard part And then you just trolled

It gave its own Yeah After weeks and weeks of fucking practice It's just the part of competing there Like we've done it to teams too You know like we've had crazy moments In our careers where we're just like Just doing something that shouldn't have been possible

In that moment To another team And they're just like too I can't believe we just let scum do that to us You know what I'm saying? Dude, like, just shit like that.

The optic van thing. Imagine being those guys. You lose because the car blew up. Did that car blow up all the time? It did? Yeah. It was just weirdly time. I mean,

there was just car bombs and blackups too. Yeah. How did that work? Like, if it got like really weak or grenade or something, it would just go on fire and then blow up? Yeah. And it actually did a lot of damage. Yeah.

In this game, like a car bomb, you'll go to like half health. Yeah. That when you die. And like, they never blow up anyway. Like, the only one I see blow up is the one on my Costco before. Like that car, like you can make it blow up. Oh yeah. Like, but it takes a shit done.

Dude, that thing, you have to put like six clips in it and nades to blow it up. Like, how is it so resilient? That thing never blows up. It used to be one nade to a car. Yeah. You'd have like car bomb pre-nades. Do you remember those? Like you, if you know where a car is, you'd throw the car. You could shoot the crossbow at white van on raid cross and just blow them up trying to cross in the blow the whole white van out. Yeah. That's crazy. Oh yeah. Now that, now, now you can't even touch that van. That van is rock solid. Dude, they are indestructible. The cars do not blow up. Blue van and white van?

Blue van and white van? Like when you're sitting ring, they do not blow up. They remain unscathed. It'll be four hard points in, dude. You're just like... They can blow up too, which is the crazy part, but they just don't blow up. They can blow up. I'm pretty sure all the cars can blow up. They just are tanks. What? A million health. Damn, I did not know that.

Wait, what, how did you deal? Like a boss at the end of a dungeon? That Fortnite thing? You know, the thing in Tilted where you could like, hit it the ice cream truck it had like a million health oh yeah yeah it's like that every car is just like that how did you deal with losses uh it depends if I'm well yeah how did you deal with all those fucking losses how did I deal with my many many many heartbreak I just got used to it I was just like ah damn better look next time we didn't really we didn't really practice maybe in two months at the next MLG

No, I usually, well, it depends. If I'm still in the tournament, like, I can't think about the loss. But if I'm out of the tournament, you've got to just be depressed for a day or two, and then just kind of just get over it. Yeah. Move on to part of competing. Only one team wins. Yeah.

Everyone else loses. So don't be so sad after that GB loss, man. Keep your head up. Hang in there. You're talking to Vince? Yeah. Yeah. Hang in there.

You got this, man. You got this. Hang in there, Vince. 5 and 23 is not too bad of a record Let's get that 6 win You might get dropped by your IRL friends I'm sure you'll find another team What not any other good topics

On that paper? Wait one more question Is it about our loss again? No no no no no you guys are off the hook We stopped talking about fucking losing all the time Recently Steph Curry made a comment On how every team they play against Is trying a thousand percent to beat them Because of their recent dynasty

Is that how you guys feel? 100% Do you feel like often? You're going to read the rules. Yeah. Everyone brings their A game against us. Because they just know they're going to roast it if they don't. That's true.

You guys are getting... We get roasted if we lose. We get everyone's best. I think it's also like you guys are always on camera. You guys are like what? You were the only team that would stream. So like they get to see your reactions to stuff. They get to see you on a podcast after.

Yeah, they fucking... They love it. Do you guys think you'd be better if you... I feel like I've been. been improving more since not streaming. Oh, Seth's been frying. I've been fucking... That's been turning to get to a deepening.

I haven't been looking at Twitter. I haven't been streaming. I've been piecing. Literally twice yesterday. I went from my setup and came over here because they were freaking out. Seth's been frying. Oh, he gets shit on.

Oh, Sethi. And I was coming over and I'd be like, man. That was me. That was a really good final kill cam I see there. But it's also like I'm not going to not stream either. It's like... Why don't you just stream? League play on the old patch that we're not playing.

Why don't you stream something other than Cod? And that sucks because that's a lot of streaming money. Yeah, man. What? Nothing. It's just like you guys can't really stream. No, we can. I mean, you could.

We're like choosing not to you right now. Yeah. Like we're just kind of like have our heads down and I'm just grinding. Yeah. We'll stream again. But I definitely feel like it's a disadvantage to having, just always being on camera. Like imagine if there was another team

that was doing this type of shit, like you would peep their shit after a loss. You would like, you wanna see their reactions. You get off on seeing them fucking sad. Empire was fucking us up last year online. Oh yeah. Oh my God, they were all in my chat. As they had just 12 odes in scrims.

I'm just like bro, you love this. Like you fucking love this. They get off on it. So like in those matches like you, it's it, that is true. They go, it's 100% when they play opting. Yeah, for sure. It's even 100% in scrams probably.

Especially when you guys are... No. Unless we're streaming. Unless we're saying. Oh, yeah, streaming. If you guys are streaming, then they go dumb hard. People are afraid to get roasted. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. Did you see what Cap tweeted out? Do you know who... Yeah. You know what T-O-Cademy. What? NYSL Academy. Oh.

That's who they were playing? I think so, yeah. That's what I saw. I didn't even know it was an academy team. There are our academy teams. Why are they tweeting about Academy teams? Like... Well, I mean, he wasn't really, like,

who was just putting the score. It was 232 to 5. That is a pretty intense score. Everyone thought it was the gorillas. Yeah. It's like blacking it out was nice, but also like put more like, oh my God, is that, is that like a pro team? He tweeted a scoreboard and it was 235 to 5 or something like that. We've done our fair share of pile driving on academy teams.

But we don't fucking tweet it. I think he would just, I don't even know what, I don't think he was trying to show the team at all. No, yeah. I mean, it's whatever. I think he was trying to give us. team gas without hurting the other team's feelings, but literally every single coach has everyone's scrim blocks. So anyone could just go look. So it's like, everyone found out anyway. You could put people in mean traps in this game. You could have a 10-50 to zero people on certain

maps. Dude, we almost, we almost did that for Dallas yesterday. On raid? Oh, did we? Yeah, we were up like 190 to 15 against Dallas on raid yesterday. But they came back. They ended up with like 100 points. Oh, yeah. But like, we didn't tweet it. Yeah, just go to that one. Dude, we almost be Toronto 250 to zero on Checking Hardpoint in a match. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That, like, we could have dead-ass one, 250 to zero.

Yeah, I remember that. They got, the only time they got was, like, in plane off the rip. And then, like, we got 220 points straight. Did we? Yeah. And then they got the rest of the points, like, P1 again. That show was crazy. And those situations, do you, I mean.

Wouldn't even notice. You don't notice? No, you notice. That's not a last. You don't notice until you're up 220. I mean, you just want to finish. You just want to win the match. Yeah, you just keep going.

And you just don't even realize, like, you just assume, like, we got to be winning. I mean, I'm pretty sure I said something like, holy shit, look at the score. Just in passing, what I should look at the score. Yeah, like, I'm dead. I'm like, yeah, he's one shot. Holy shit. That just shows you how much more competitive cod is nowadays than it used to be. Like, do you remember how much shit you guys would talk in the middle of the game, like in Blockups 2 and Ghost?

Like, you guys, like, like, aches in them would just be like, keep fucking going. Like, they would say shit like that and not call out. I remember. Are you talking about that thing in Ghost? Remember when Akes was hyping up, like, who was it? Like, T.P. or Crimsticks or something. It was some map on ghost. But Akes was just, like, screaming.

Yeah. That happens on land still. It does. Yeah, we're playing online, God, dude. Like, I'm sorry. Like, it's very hard to get hype. We were like that all of our W. Like, holy shit, I'm on 10 ping better than him.

All of I W champs, we were just screaming in everyone. That is. We were, like, just yelling in the middle of the news. Yeah, we were just screaming in everyone. These guys are horrible and all. But online shit. God, that shit has to feel so good. You guys are shitting and you just hear your teammates. These guys fucking suck. And you're like, yeah. Oh, man, I'll never experience that. That must be fucking amazing. That must be so fun for you guys. Man. Man, you get paid really well

too. Dream can't play other games besides Minecraft. And is that how you guys feel with Call of Duty? No. I don't feel that way at all. No? No. No. Like whenever you guys would, I mean, have you and would you stream other games? I think when I come back to streaming, I'm going to start streaming wow. I was about to say, because you guys have been playing a lot of while. Dungeons. We've been playing a lot of way. I've just been trying to learn the game.

Because like it's hard for you to learn a game. Like so like when I was streaming Minecraft, I was like trying to, I was trying to taking so much information, but like Twitch shots like really helpful. The way they do it sometimes is just like makes feel like overwhelmed. You're like, okay, yeah, I don't know anything. Yeah, I didn't. It speaks to me like I'm a toddler. Minecraft, I felt overwhelmed playing that.

Wow, I like have been playing that. for a decade. So like it's fun and I was just thinking like you know obviously play like five hours of cod like play like couple hours of league play scrim and then play like two or three hours a while like that's a good stream. Yeah I gave I gave you know my main audience which is called duty a good stream of call of duty and then play something that I'll enjoy just to like be able to unwind and relax. It's fun just relax. Yeah. Yeah. It's like I was playing like league playing trip for a while and like eights and it was just like too much god like we were playing a lot i would play that's another thing like since we've been playing less cod i feel like i feel like we've been playing

way better we've been playing way less cod as a team and we've been playing way better because every single day we come in and i feel like that is one of the biggest things that streaming is to like players mentalities is that you wake up and like just having that lingering thought in your mind like i have to play five hours of league play and scrim today it's like that is just overwhelming and then to a certain degree it's like you start to resent the game just because you're playing it so you're playing it so much just a stream and you're playing the same three maps and that's why I'm saying I'd love a BR because like BRs it's the same map but you can make it a different game every single time it's like League of Legends almost yeah like pubs or league play

it's like the same thing every single fucking day there's only four maps you can play it's like playing that for five hours is like holy shit especially after a scrim that's why I think that would be a good idea just for our mentality is to like maybe hop on for a couple hours play some believe play warm up play scrims three four hours and then play wow for you know two three hours to do anything it's just like relaxing yeah because when we show up to these best of 11s we show up ready to go and we like we like try hard yeah you guys like we really improved and I feel like that that's what I'm saying like our straight will to practice goes down the more cod we play yeah because you're

just thinking like I just well yeah we got two sets today nice that's a long stream I guess like you know what I'm saying like you're like not even focused on in the match or in the practice. You're just like, yeah, I mean, it's whatever. I mean, I definitely can tell when you guys are screaming, like, right as soon as I open the door, because you guys have been going, like, dumb hard. And Dill has been screaming out of here, right?

He always has, yeah. He always has? Well, not always, but this year since I moved here, yeah. Oh, okay. So I guess that's why. I still play from home, but I'm going fucking hard. But you're going what? I'm going hard.

You are going hard. But yeah, I think it's a good. I honestly think that it's a good thing that we've taken, like, a little bit of a break because we were kind of like pushing ourselves to the limit the first, uh, I feel like we were wearing ourselves down.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that that like having another game to play afterwards probably is really therapeutic. It's been so nice. Just like, we've literally just been hopping on, scrimming and then we get off and play wow for like four hours and we just fucking have a ball.

It's actually super fun. Do you mean instead of been trolling people, bro, that shit in the other day? Like yesterday a druid tank was fucking with us and I just said, stupid bear, stupid bear,

and then he instill left the fucking dungeon in hearthstone. You remember the guy that we found? in Orvos, the guy that had gangis? Oh yeah. Dude, me and Seth were trolling this guy so fucking hard. We just run up to this random dude

in the city and wow and what were we even talking about? He had some cool shit on and me and Seth go out to him and we're just like, yo, like talking in the general chat. Oh, no, we were talking about his Raider I.L.

We were like, dude, you're nasty. We were like, yo, so you're trying to run some mythics? Like, just talking to him? Like, you're trying to play with us and then like, he's like no. And I was like... You're just typing this, right?

This name is Renba. Yeah. And I was like, tried to like Dick ride the guy's so hard. I was like, I was like, I was friend of the guy's weird. Let's get out of here. And I went out the door.

And then he whispers me, come here. Because he was like showing off his mouths to us. He like whispered me. I like ran away like to the other side of the city. And he's like, come back. Me and Seth have been crying.

Dude, when we get shrulling, bro, we got kicked out of a raid the other day. Me and him, me and Seth joined this like group that was way too high for us. And like we got, we instantly die.

One of my, one of my old buddies that I played with. like a year and a half ago when I was playing. He was like, yo, come get ahead of the curve, which is beating the heroic boss before a certain time. And so we get there. They're on the last three bosses. We kill the first one.

We one shot it. The next one, I literally died like off the rip five times in a row. And then one person in the chat is just like, this is supposed to be an AOTC group and fucking Renba's doing less damage than the healers. And every time every time they talk shit, I automatically

side with them. I'm like, it's okay. but don't listen to him. You're doing fine. You guys don't know. Just the same amount. You guys don't know what we're talking about, but dude, we troll. It's so fucking funny, dude. If we get a bad, like, dungeon or something, I just start trolling people.

Because they get so mad. Can we get to get level 60 and get an invite for once? Well, get your grind up. Get your grind up, bro. I'm trying. Speaking of witch. We've been a month and you haven't gotten to six. It's right there.

What level are you at? 56. Is it hard to rank up? No. Not really. It's just time consuming. You could do it pretty quick, though. I mean, Seth did it really fast. If you played all day, you'd hit 60 today. Yeah.

Easily. Easily. All you have to do is clear your entire schedule for today and just play the whole day. He just only plays for an hour or two at a time. Yeah. And that's just not how wilds to be played. I just, I don't know. I don't got it.

I was talking to hitch on the fight cast. That I just don't got it in me anymore to like grind like that. Like, I lose complete interest after like two hours. Of anything. of anything. Well, you got to get your grind-up if you want to get to level 60 so you can get invites to dungeons.

And raids. That sounds sarcastic as fuck. Next topic. I was just making sure I got it right. I think that's all the topics. Well, Jack and Valkyrie became co-owners of 100 thieves. We talked about that last time, didn't we? Pretty sure we talked about that last part.

Well, it's still congratulations to those two, right? Yeah, that's cool. That is really, really, really cool. And that's everything. Let me see it. Let me see the paper. That's everything. Jesus.

Do I have to be the host? The fucking. Does y'all see what's happening in the European soccer shit? No. Okay. Well, I'm not going to talk about it. Tell us, please. Oh, wait, that was all the...

That's happening. That was all the topics. It's like really... Don't... We'll talk about it later. All right. Because it's too much. That's it.

For you guys, for you Americans to understand. So I think that's going to do it. Roger? I think that's going to do it. to do it for today's podcast a little bit shorter but you know what short is not always a bad thing short and sweet thank you guys so much for watching we'll see you next time you just threw that like a three long i'm trying to hit the can
