I come up to you and him and he's like, this is your fault. Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode number of the Optic Podcast. It has been a total of 14 days since anybody has created any pieces of content here in the Hacksford is because of the COVID, mother effing outbreak that happened at the optic party. Worth it. Hashtag. Worth it. That party was lit. Dude, the second time around was easy.

Yeah. Oh, I had no symptoms. Yeah, I had like what a fever one night. And then after that, I had some stuffy nose. I had, I had nothing at all. If I had it tested, so, so living, so Jude came out with us, but she never goes out. Yeah. Right.

So she said, I'm never going outside with you dirty, dirty kids. I'm because she didn't say that. But well, she caught it. And, uh, and because her and, and Liv are always together by the time that she realized it, then Liv got it. They've been COVID free for about a week, and they were on their ass for, like, since the party all the way until, like,

maybe Thursday of last week, literally just laying around not doing shit. So I had to do something. And I'm like, do I got to do everything around here? Like, what's the fucking deal here? I had to make my, like... Someone's got to go down for this. Somebody, you say you had...

Dude, you had... Oh, me and Brandon got suspects, yeah. You got suspects, so you want to name them? I'm gathering information as people come to the HQ. Yeah. Because someone's going to be a little bit of... off. Someone's going to be like, oh, what's up? No, I'm good. You know how like Jonah Hill is

and this is the end? Yeah, yeah, yeah. After he gets fucked up by the demon? Yeah, someone's beginning to be like that. And then that's going to be a freaking. You see this the end? No, I don't watch movies, you know that? Wait, you don't see this is the end? No. Ever? So there's Jonah Hill, you know Jonah Hill? Yeah, I know for that. So Jonah Hill is the end is like the end of the world

and they get stuck in James Frankis's house. And at night, a demon, like a devil demon with a big old thing. and bones Jonah Hill. He's like, that's why I don't watch movies. Anyway, so I had, I literally, if I wouldn't have tested, I'm like, let me just put this thing in my nose and see what's up.

I was sitting in, I was sitting in, uh, with Liv and Jude. And I'm like, I, you know, I, I just got a booster shot before I went to Toronto. But I had literally no symptoms at all. I've had worse allergies, uh, than the symptoms. that I had no fever, no tiredness. I've been doing two miles a day on the treadmill, walking and then running one, trying to get faster and faster.

You know? And nothing. Nothing. Had no issues, but I'm like, well, I have it. I can't travel. I'm not going to be, you know, responsible for killing an old lady who has cancer what I thought. Well, that's why I didn't, I didn't come in. Wait, wait, what? Okay.

Well, if I haven't, I'd give it to somebody who's not as strong, I shouldn't expect you to take you down that road. Who doesn't have like an incredible DNA, you know? Exactly why I'm not risking it. Yeah, so that's why I didn't. So we set away from everyone. What's the head count? Matt, you had it?

Matt didn't have it, Roger? Just trying to think back of all the calls I've got you. At least 10 people. I saw the bag. I thought there might be two. So we had, so for the record, next time that you know, oh, you don't even look at, I'm like, I don't look at the call sheet ever.

I just I go hex, hex, hex, hex, I'm like, oh yeah, yeah, I look for me. I look at the call sheet. I was ready for Seth to be here on his birthday, to be honest. Yeah. It said Seth, so I was like getting ready to be like in fucking. Happy birthday, Seth. Happy birthday, Seth. Happy birthday.

Yesterday or whatever you're watching this is your birthday. Anyway, so where I was going with that is that like at least 10 people went down with it and we have been trying to figure out who the culprit. Who was patient zero? I know it was. Do you? 100%. Yeah, he's a cold man.

He's a cold. Old man. Hold. Someone would say icy. You think it was... You think it was... Yes. Yeah, for sure it was ice.

Wait, how? How do you know that? He was the first one. Wait, really? Yeah. No, for sure it was ice. But ice thinks he got it from the children's health stream. I believe that...

From the dog. Not from the dog. No, from the dog. No, I get it from the children's... Well, people I left early. Yo, I've been dodging the bullet. That may have been. Because that day, page was like,

oh, we messed up. We don't need you. just left. Dodged. Left the party early. Dodged. Did you ever get it? You've never had COVID.

I mean, maybe when Minnesota, remember, we were all sick. Yeah. That was the worst. That was when, like, it first released. Yeah, that was the first drop. Yeah. That was the first drop. It was raw COVID.

Ro. Bro. Yeah. Because there was nothing. Bro, that was insane. Imagine, like, I was sick. Yeah. So you were, we were, we all got super six.

It was a hunt. Yeah. For three months? I didn't get, I mean, bro, it was like, like, like, cough wise, it was like, bro, long time everybody you remember on Twitter everyone's like yeah why is everyone so damn sick like like everyone's sick and then bang they dropped that COVID banger dude they Andy Miller had the room next to me and he said he put like fucking blank uh sheets over his uh over

the exhaust because he wanted he didn't want uh the my sickness to go through the vans it to his i was like i would have done the same thing and then matt would come by and drop off water and like a good friend. You'd be like he'll knock and then run away and shit. But again, we didn't know it was COVID back then, right? It was just like a really bad cold. And it wasn't good. Yeah, I remember getting sick in like December, like 2019, I guess, December.

And I was just like so dizzy and like nauseous. And like nauseous all the time and like fever and stuff. And then like two months later, they were like, oh, by the way, millions of people have this. So you didn't come back to sets up afterwards? So, no. Did you? Yeah, for like a sec. Bro.

Remember you? Me and Brandon said about you that got time? No. You don't remember that at all? No, I was fucking. You were pretty fucked out. I was fine. As soon as I got there, two, took tequila shots.

I was surprised even to see you that late. Because I was planning my departure on your departure, and you never left, so I never left. So the party never left. I think there were probably like 10 or 15 people that were thinking the same thing. If you had left, I think, there was like, because there's no way. Will stayed out forever. Oh yeah, the whole night. You'll have me crying.

I go, I mean, I don't know. So Will has this thing where he smokes one cigarette per year, right? Yeah. Right. That's amazing. I didn't know that. So I had two camel crushes. I see Will.

I'm like, yo, did you have your one cigarette this year? He goes, no, but I have one. Right? So I give it to him, right? I don't know. We're so good thing. I go, wait. So, like, do you like, do you like enjoy smoking at all?

he's like, I wouldn't say I enjoy it, but I won't. What do he say? He said, I wouldn't say I enjoy it. But I won't say that I won't. I don't enjoy it. Yeah, yeah. Some shit like that. He just had me cried.

That's a good time. He comes up to you and him and he's like, this is your fault. I'm like, how the fuck is that my fault? You remember that? That's what I was. I was like, how to how is that my fault? What is a clown, man? Yeah.

So him, Ray. as soon as I walk in obviously I were walking and he's sitting down I didn't see him but he was sitting down having artichokes and shit

Go down Matt, Matt go down show us the short version of the story is that sky watchers Well well Matt's The short version of the story is that the sky watchers had been tracking the object for months based on their calculation would soon impact the earth and it's it did. It was a moon. I mean, sorry.

That's a huge mission. That's a huge. And obviously, it was obviously a piece of rocket trash. Obviously.

So, Matt, well, you bring up the Joe Biden, I mean, the, the Trump choking a CIA agent. Wait, which one? Go back, go back, go back. No, no. Jesus. He just said something about, somebody said something about Elvis, and Elvis is in there.

Dude, look, Matt's so checked today. Yeah. He doesn't know where his tabs are. He doesn't know what's going on. He's uh He's he's he's he's been uh I don't know what what did production do Well we weren't producing shit

And we all just hung out with COVID Oh cool The COVID COVID party We were just sitting there like shivering The corner People somebody walked a stranger walked in And thought you guys were all fucking meth because you got started on their plane.

It wasn't that bad, man. Not that bad. Anyway, are you bringing that up, man, or what's going on? All right. So here we go. What is this? So Trump launched at a service agent in rage when told he couldn't go to the Capitol on January 6th. He lunged at a secret service agent.

I just know this is a clickbait. No, he choked them. He choked a secret service agent. Yeah. Like to start choking him. Let me end. The secret service. The secret, okay, I'm gonna read it, right?

The key points are now, mind you, this is CNBC, and everybody should do their own fake news. Yeah, everyone should do, ex-President Donald Trump launched at a Secret Service agent in a limousine when he told he could not be taken to the US Capitol on January 6th, 2021. That's when the insurgents happened, right? That is when the fucking crazy is like they try to overtake the Capitol.

Somebody, fuck, I don't know. Someone got shot, right? Somebody got shot, yeah, somebody died. Somebody got shot in the next, I'm lady. And they started arrest and P, they had crazy, well, yeah, they were recording. They're like, think about the fucking... The cameras in there were insane.

They were how embarrassed. Think about the stupidity, right? That day, I was so embarrassed. Okay, listen, do you get there? And let's say you do take control of the entire capital. You take control of the entire capital. Do you think that you run the United States at that point? You fucking want.

Like, there's so many times in like where I'm like, well, you know, politics or politics or I'm just like, damn, everybody's mad, like, or I've been angry myself. But that day, I was just like, dude, we suck. The videos that service from that day were so embarrassing. Get it together. I just picture every other country. So he said, what the fun is going? I'm over there.

So he said, as the January 16th was happening, Trump wanted to go to the capitals to continue. I mean, look, I'm not going to say anything that he was, but I imagine that he wanted to be with the people that he incited into going in there. Because he's the one that said, let's take the capital by storm. And everybody's like, everybody's like, yeah. So they fucking go Right they all go they take over and it becomes this thing

But he said he the guy the the secret service is like I can't take you there There's too many people you'll be in danger yeah yeah I'm assuming he said he said I'm the fucking president I'm the capital on that And from what I hear he's got really really tiny hands so like it didn't do one of these I don't know if he was holding up with one arm though Like he was like take me there and you're like I'm like god Now, for the record, I, uh, I support neither.

I'm a middle, I'm a middle of the pack kind of guy. Common sense lead my way. Uh, anyway, so that was... Look at that picture. Look at that picture. I tip all you guys. Good shit. Yeah.

Good looks. I remember when someone tried to attack him on stage and he was like, no. Have you seen the one where George Bush dodges a shoe? Oh, yeah, yeah. He hits the legendary one. I was like, damn. The pointy ass shit.

They're all so old, bro. They're all so old. That's so so nimble. All of them. So nimble. I don't know. Look, at the end of the day, the politics and politicians have become a business more than a service to. Oh!

More than a service to this beautiful, incredible country. And they're self-serving politicians, man. I mean, look, the reason that weed hasn't been legalized across the entirety. Here it is. Watch this, dude. Reflexes of a fucking... He's in Iraq. He's going to turn.

Uh, is it here? Secret service came faxed out. He said good try, bitch. Yo, his eyes literally say good try, you motherfucker. Dude, you see how he, did you see how he was smiling? He's like, nice try, you're still like a bitch. Did he see how many heads came out the back room? Yeah.

They're all like this. They're all like this way to a secret service guy. He's like, no, I'm good, I'm good. This guy's a bitch. He's like, he wants to throw another one? He said, let him throw. Let him two. Two, three, four, five, five,

Don't look. Because they were about to, like, grab them. Bro, they probably rough the money. If that would have been my mom throwing that sandals, she would, she's a, she's 10 for 10. She would have with accuracy, throwing that chocolate. How are you going to throw a shoe in miss? At the bottom of that? What happened to that, dude?

Bro, they probably fucked him up right there. They took him in a fray elevator and beat the shit out of them. Hell yeah. Like, they threw two shoes at bus. You're going down. Yeah. What the fuck? I wonder what happened to that.

Have you seen the picture of the dude that, uh, tried to jump, or, or, tackle Dave Chappelle on stage. Yeah. He's all like, like, like I got beat the fuck. Yeah. Lins and shit are just everywhere. Dumb fuck. God, I did a stretch and the fuck.

People are branded. I'm so old. He what? I said people are just brained in this. Yeah. Did you get COVID? I don't know. You didn't test.

Dude, those two. Those two were wrong. Honestly, life went on here for me. Went on just fine. I was streaming. Yeah. Played the tournament. And it's great.

Yeah. I get it. I had zero symptoms. I came in one time to grab all my stuff because I had to work while at home. And I grabbed it and Bruce was sitting right here. He was doing this. He took over this fucking death for his food place.

Yeah, he was doing this. And I was like, you're good? He was like, yeah? I was like, you got it? And he was like, no, I haven't tested. I was like, I guess you can't get it if you didn't test. He was like, he kept eating.

That's a very, very Mexican thing to do. It must be a brown thing. doing it too because they're like don't go to the doctor's like why it's like because they're gonna tell us something wrong with you exactly yeah no bullshit then i'll use something you're trying to get a stick a test but we didn't want to be in that similar like the person's like you have tested positive COVID-19 like you're like positive now you're not you're statistic now yeah like is you know that thing we had to do last year a lot they're like no you're negative you're good but they would have said you're positive they're like no fuck that I'm doing that shit I'm sure yeah they really

control the outcome they could have hit you you're positive you check the whole tournament not yeah for sure like exactly you won't Put it in a fucking gone the fuck off. I'm just knowing it. Just knowing like I have positive, underlined, bolded. I would just be pissed. Did throw off my vibe? Yeah.

Not me. Look, I kept it. I mean, I still took all my calls and I had to take calls. I worked and it's not for me either. But I didn't, like I was playing a lot of Call of Duty actually, like at night.

I've been playing a lot. You play a Warzone? Yeah, it's fucking so, bro, it is the most fun. And I'm not a chill here. I talk shit about Call of Duty all day long. God damn it.

But this one fucking map is the best war zone map and best war zone experience. that I have had since Warzone was a thing. Better than Verdansk, better than fucking Blackout, better than all of those things. Why? Because it's a smaller map. It's bright as all fuck.

Even in the caves, it's bright. Aesthetic. Aesthetically pleasing. 5K damage minimum every time I play. Okay, that's like I care anyway. Yeah. Let's relax now. Okay, yeah.

Are you leading to the lighthouse? It is bright. It does look cool. I was with you. I was with you. Yeah, for sure. So you guys have, you guys have, You got some played it?

You got some... No. No, we're doing our next 100 hours right now. In Valerant? Yeah. You're gonna get a dick. That's a... That's a game I will never touch.

The same I will never touch Counterstrike. The game's hard. It's not like... Well, I've never played, like, one of those, like, don't sprint around... I've never played Countertrike. Yeah.

Still shooting? Yeah, yeah. It's like... It does feel weird. It's so weird playing a game where you don't shoot at people to shoot at them. Like, if you...

If you shoot and then you have to start shooting at the ground in order to hit them. You got to control the recoil, man. I mean, you can have a tie-out. Call 3-4 had it. Don't spray. Don't spray. Don't spray. Don't be a spray earn, though.

Yeah. I'm trying to learn that. Let's just like tap. Tap-tap. The act of every bullet is what I'm hearing. It's a hard game. But it's, I mean, but it is so fun. I think, like, getting that one tap with, like, a vandal is, like, the best feeling.

Super satisfying. Or a Degal? Yeah, yeah. Whenever I look into your eyes, all I can think of is sunshine and rainbows and beautiful days. That's how beautiful you are. All right. Let's talk about the sponsors for today's podcast.

Like when they were both on Twitch, both playing H-1Z-1 and PubG and stuff. like there was so it was just so like and every once while they would play not that they actually had like an actual rivalry but like you watch doc or you watch ninja like it just seemed like that's how it was for a while

that shit was like before doc had his whole thing and then ninja goes to mix her like I think if that never happened and they stayed both like stayed on twitch and stayed with that momentum like shit would have been so like cool to see them because like you know doc the reason I say that's because doc goes to Nike ninjas with Adidas and you know the blue hair and the red suit. Oh shit. You're drawing a lot of yeah yeah I think it's like I don't know yeah I don't know those days were dope I didn't think about that

El Rubius calls out ex QC well look first of all El Rubius is is way bigger than than I'm not saying in a bad way I'm just saying like El Rubio should be fighting fucking PewDie Pie I don't think you know how big XQC is.

XUC is gigantic. No, I know. Obviously, I do. Yeah, obviously. I'm not, I work in this industry. Yeah. But El Rubius,

For a while I didn't really like understand XCC's He didn't know who he was So it was like a perfect, perfect way to meet. For a while, I didn't really understand XQC's, like, whole thing. Because I, because I didn't know who he was until the whole, until the whole Overwatch thing, too. Because he was, like, beefing with one of the Outlaws guys when we first went and visited the Outlaws guys. And so I didn't know who he was. That's all I knew about him.

And then he transitioned to content. And then he started getting bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger. Oh, he was fucking massive. And then, like, a couple, I would even say, like, a couple weeks ago, I started, like, watching some of his stuff and, like, watching his, like, and stuff and like I kind of get it like I I get why he's so big he's like he's like Twitch chat like yeah he like in a person like just just just to just to hear some comparable numbers okay and I'm not I'm not I have I'm just saying I'm just
