Miami is good.
Like all throughout the season
they've been solid.
They struggled on land
but these guys,
there's been points in the season
we're like, yo.
Dude,
look at those triceps, dude.
You know what they need?
They need to move, man.
You know, my...
Ablas Spanish,
too can communicate with them.
One week, I make them a top three team.
Just one week.
Top three?
Who would you replace?
Hey, that's for them to decide me.
I'm gonna come in and handle videos.
Don't matter who you're coming for.
I could call out in Spanish too.
One de Meredo.
Mente, mehese comigo.
Hey.
Conmigo.
I don't know what the fuck you just said.
Yeah.
Opti podcast, episode 279.
Today's episode is brought to you by AT&T and BetterHelp.
More about them later in the podcast.
That's right.
Big Swood-in-house.
We got Zini Harrison to my left.
We got the scumper jumper.
Greatest of all time, SMG.
Can nobody fuck with him, period.
Wow.
He can come back today.
He can come back today.
Wipe that look off your face over there.
What, that setup?
Where they put me in that chair?
a Huntsman logo behind me and just let and just fucking put me on the throne to get fucking
shame.
And I saved them.
You're blanked.
No, I, I don't know if you saved me, by the way.
Oh, I definitely cut out all of the shit that you were, everything that was human was cut out.
Every, every, every human aspect that that was cut out.
It could have been AI.
And the only thing that was left in was, this is the change.
This is who it's for.
Okay, so first, I told them, don't do it.
You're the front man.
You're like squid games.
Literally.
I told them.
And Roger, first of all, don't do it.
Roger was looking there like this.
Yeah.
The whole time I saw him through the window.
He's like this.
And I saw James was turning around like, oh, fuck.
I didn't have a choice.
He said sounds good?
Dang.
I didn't have a choice.
At the end?
I watched it in person.
Damn.
He had every chance.
But I still...
They sure was just on what Hector told him to do.
With experience, 20 years of it, mind you.
Wait, what did Hector tell him to do?
To not talk about it until the
podcast where we had back and forth to spend as much time on the explanation as possible,
instead of making the announcement.
I went through the Kilimanjaro of the sniper team back when.
And then countless of other experiences that I have personally had to endure as the GM
when we had to drop people because of people wanted them gone.
That was impossible.
Don't point in me.
Because he had to find a team so we couldn't wait.
Don't point in me.
Yeah.
No, I get that.
But then it should have just been leaked.
They should have just happened organically.
Like, y'all was somewhere else,
then it's who could have given an explanation.
See, I wanted it.
There was Zany under the bus.
We shouldn't have done that video to begin with.
That's how it always is.
And I also, also.
What I wanted to do was just announcement tweet
and then I'd be live and talk about it on stream in more detail.
This is just,
1.6 million views just railing me.
Like,
just railing you, brother.
Linney.
I saw this pop up on my timeline and I said, oh.
No, Seth texts me at all caps.
Mayo. I mean, it was a setup. This is a setup.
Their own setup, their own setup, they set themselves up. I'm like, we shouldn't do it.
Bro, it was so. You know, the hoodie's fire, though. Huddies pop up. A hundred percent.
You're the hoodie's popping in that. Yeah, the hooties popping in that. We've had zero sales on it because of this, this that.
Damn. Now, that's going to sound. No, but you know what's crazy? It was, that's not right.
You know what's crazy is that they told me on Thursday, we're going to film this. And I was like, I don't, you know, I gave my thoughts on it. And they're like, city's coming in tomorrow. I. I, I don't. I'm
I came in to sit there and listen to what he was about to say.
And he was in a bad mood this day too.
I was already in a bad mood.
He was stressed as fuck.
It's seldom that Hector comes in in a bad mood.
Usually he's chipper.
He was like, so he was like him and the content guys, he was kind of laying into them a little bit.
So I was like, what's up, man?
You flying economy tonight?
Because he was flying L.A.
And I think that grounded you.
That took you down a notch.
Yeah, thank God you were there.
Thank God you were there.
Fly me economy, I bet I'll know.
The Iceman?
Drizzy.
Anyway, yeah.
Yeah, that was an interesting day.
Yeah, who was that?
Hey, I fell on the sword.
I'm happy to do it for my boys.
Obviously.
They're not.
No, he's not.
No, I mean, I am.
I mean, I understand it.
Everybody here, raise your hand if you agree with the move to remove soot from Huntsman.
Okay, what the fuck?
Oh, Riley just raised his hand.
I have to raise my hand.
Yeah, exactly.
because I can't.
I had no idea
I can't play that both sides.
Seth cried
when you heard.
I don't get told these things.
For your own protection.
Have you guys,
have you guys talked about
on the podcast since?
No.
So tell us,
tell us what
drove your knife into his back.
Tell it.
I mean,
you heard me?
I'll play good time.
Tell the people
what drove your knife
into his back.
Damn.
Yep.
It's damn.
I don't know.
I feel like I need to walk a certain line
where I'm not like going to.
Luckily,
Suiti talked about it.
And shout out to you for, I mean, you, you're defending me a bit in the flycast.
That was a good episode.
He was like this the whole time, though.
As then he was watching through the glass like that.
Yeah, he's, fucking, I mean, really, it just comes out of the team, wanted to make a change.
And, like, once a majority of a team wants to make a change, it's very, it's very difficult to.
I feel like on any challengers team, yes, but whenever it's the huntsman and, you know, it's at,
a higher little level.
Shit's ran differently.
Yeah, but you're still here.
You don't got the luxury to, like, if I'm playing,
you know, back home.
But I have a concern.
I have concerns.
I've had concerns about the Huntsman
since before we even launched the Huntsman, right?
Like, let's say we come across somebody who's good on camera,
right, who's, uh, sympathetico and has all the,
all the things go, go on for.
And what if you like,
what if you like, what if the green wall just like attaches to you,
like, man, we fucking love swoop.
Like they have.
And then, and then you go,
Play for fucking, I don't know, whoever the fuck.
Who name someone.
Toronto.
Toronto's cool.
The city.
And then, or Carolina Roller Ravens.
Oh.
And then you print.
And now all of a sudden they have 300,000 followers.
Yo, Blake, what's up with the shape face, man?
You got motion like that?
Twin?
I guess I got motion like.
Damn.
No, your price tag is high though.
Think so?
Yeah, Niem and Kipps will let go for cheap.
I won't make that mistake again.
I don't know.
Shit's winning championships and shit.
We didn't get much ROI for that.
R.O.I.
Who the fuck are you?
Adalted type swoon.
What the fuck, dude?
And you still can't put on weight?
What's R.O.I mean?
Return on investment.
That a boy?
Not a boy?
I'm in the know when it comes to these business terms.
Hey, that's a good cart right there.
Yeah.
Quick and easy.
Why is it so small?
Why do you get the same thing?
I see the same thing on like.
Because I know what I've tried these if I know what I like.
When was this?
This was yesterday last night.
James took me.
Hell yeah.
Oh, just straight up linked.
You know how to drive?
Yeah, I know how to drive.
Yeah, I have a car that you can borrow.
Really?
Yeah, pick.
Pick.
Hey, pig.
You got to go to a H-L-E.
No, I just go to the ATB right here.
H-EB is way better than Whole Foods.
Oh, yeah, H-EBs, like, anxiety-inducing.
Yeah, so much, right?
It's like too much.
Yeah.
I love it.
I walk in and I don't know what's going on.
Like, I went to Buckees for the first time, like last week.
That's also, I mean, that place is kind of cool.
We should do a food show.
Bucies is disturbing.
Bucies?
I mean, you just walk in and it's just everywhere.
There's nothing healthy in that place.
It's just, that's Texas through and through right there.
The whole place is just snacks.
What's it called, the Sando, the pool pork sandwich, and then they have the mega one?
They have sandwiches.
I went to one in Denver.
In Denver?
Buckys in Denver?
Buckys in Denver.
That was a Texas thing.
It was popping.
Like, there was like hundreds of cars.
It was insane.
Yeah.
Buckys is popping.
Yeah, I stopped going to Buckees for a minute.
But Jude on the way back from San Antonio.
brought me back my favorite, those little crusted sugar covered.
Look at that piece of meat right there.
Hmm.
I mean, look behind them.
Sugared nuts.
Yeah, that's the one that I got.
That's what I got.
For those watches, I don't know what Bucky's is.
Think of like a gas station on Compound V.
Just the most absurd gas station you can think of.
It's more like a store.
I'm going to say something.
Are you, Riley?
You can pull it up.
I have Bucky's merch.
That's how.
I have Bucky's ornament.
that we have up on our Christmas tree.
Hell yeah.
You have to if you're a Texan, like myself, Texas Red.
That's right, Texas Red.
That's right.
Texas Red.
Texas Red.
Big Iron on his hip.
What is it at?
What are you sending Riley?
Well, let's not all stand on ceremony now.
What do you got for us?
So obviously the start to our, well, he brings up that info.
Like, we had a pretty good turnout.
We beat Surge and Heretics.
everybody was going
I felt like Shotsie was playing at a speed
I had not seen in a live
Watching the boys is starting to get a little boring
just because I know they're going to win every series
It's like
I mean obviously grand finals say what you want
Second place, ha ha
But like dude these guys are automatic
Yo
Specifically you better knock that shit
I mean bro I'm just saying what I'm seeing
They're automatic
Oh yeah we know you're just saying what you see
These guys are automatic
Yeah
They haven't lost a series on laying
Oh look at a show
Hell yeah.
You worked there?
No, I worked for...
Echo Shield?
Yeah, I worked for Echo Shield.
Tell me about Echo Shield.
I love that G-shock, okay, I see you?
Nah, it was a pest control company.
But, wait, is that a garment or what is that?
No, that's lucky.
Did you have to like...
Your watch?
Your watch, it's a G-shock or Garmin.
Oh, Garmin.
Did you have to, like, fuck with bugs a lot?
No, I sold the contracts.
I didn't, like, I wasn't like that.
You were a businessman.
Dude, you were a business man.
You're a business man.
Love those boots.
Love those boots.
Yeah, man, I sold the contract.
You'd be a good salesman.
Can tell.
Very personal.
Can tell.
He sold all our jerseys at the last major.
I know.
I saw him in the elevator.
I was like, what's good?
It was on Sunday morning.
He's like, I'm going to work the booth.
And I said, that's a boy?
Yeah.
He was hyped too.
So just so we're clear, for the first time in our history, we have had a professional player who's good on camera that people are gravitating towards.
And on his day off, on, on, uh, uh, uh, coaxed.
Just, he loses and he said, you know what?
My job's not done here.
I'm still here.
Yeah.
I didn't get the best result that I could, but I'm going to go work the booth.
Never, never, never.
Well, yes, I have.
Nobody else here.
Nobody else here.
Nobody else here has taken that sort of initiative.
Nobody, nobody, nobody.
That's not fair.
Pointing at me is insane.
And Riley just said behind the camera that he helped production tear down the booth too.
Swoo.
Just know.
That's not me and him show up.
G.
The place in top 24 champs while Octane and Crim flew home.
Me and him walked through the fucking shame, the shame,
And just pointing at me is insane.
Yeah, what's this guy doing?
The husband's jersey.
They forget.
How quickly, dude.
I don't.
You see that video?
Clearly.
In venue only 10% off your order.
If you buy from swoop.
Get that discount.
That swooty discount.
Look at him.
His heart's broken because he didn't place well and he was still out there working.
Come on.
And you dropped them?
I got dropped the next day.
Oh my fucking guy.
I can't even get on the flight.
I got told the news literally when I was on the flight back.
I almost shut down the entire program.
That's not true.
I said, Renegate my bad, dude.
just ain't working for me.
No, I just kidding.
I'm kidding.
Anyway, it's pretty cool, man.
Dude.
What are you talking about?
Me?
Ooh, I lost.
The boys played good, man.
Yeah, they did.
The boys played good.
Piggyback and, though, Miami's probably making a change off of their 3-0 loss against us.
Yeah.
That's probably like the only roster change happening.
Yeah, yesterday, Kips and my chat was also kind of talking a little bit about the
insight stuff. Okay,
Trakes. Oh.
Look at it. I'll tell you what, this kid's been great though.
I have heard, I think Attach said that he heard that there's like
intertimore.
Termoil or something going on there.
You know what it is? Someone said, I think it was attached.
I'll tell you what it is. They won Real back.
Well, yeah. They won real back.
This kid's been great this year.
Yeah, but they still want them back.
You can like kind of tell watching teams whenever
something's like coming and watching Miami this past weekend, like,
just seeing their like mannerisms and their body length.
like you could tell they were just kind of yeah this is just kiss basically saying they're not they're not
making a change yeah this was yesterday in my chat a safe where he is jamie's so overly safe
the internet is deceiving do you even know how big of a shit show that was going to be with the role
situation we're not making a change okay use your head let me decipher this whole situation okay
please they've tried dropping jamie three different times oh who who who has tried the team
the players or the coaches I assume the players
I assume the players.
I would say 90% of the time it's the player.
Like in the CDL, typically players are the ones making the moves.
I mean, knowing...
Knowing Toronto, I could almost guarantee their coach was against dropping Jamie.
So it was primarily the players, I feel pretty confident saying that.
But you can only drop...
They tried to drop him multiple times.
Eventually, he starts feeling disrespected.
So he benches himself.
Yeah.
But then he changes his mind.
So they were going to pick up Abe.
but last second they don't because he decides he still wants to play.
Nasty goes to G2 and now it's like shit.
Everyone's asking me like, Zinn, did you agree with Abe to Toronto?
And I'm like, fuck, no.
Why would you ever change with that trio's doing?
Like, those guys are playing at such a high level.
The last thing you want is clean X pulling out and they are.
But this game is playing differently.
This game is all sub-s.
Yeah, I know.
You can run four subs.
Oh, Abe right now, like Colossus, you're in trouble.
Like, it would have been crazy on some maps.
So that's why it's kind of weird because, like,
at the start of the year, the meta was not the same.
Now it's like you can pull out a sub on almost every single hill
based off spawns and like positioning and it's a good play.
You can run a sub more, right?
Hell yeah.
Now you want to run a sub.
He's multi-faceted, dude.
Oh, you got to adaptor or dot.
Are you saying that he didn't want to pull out the sub when he got the sniper?
Now you want to use it.
No, I've been using the sub.
It's just people just, they don't.
They look at what they want to look.
Exactly.
Whatever fits the narrative.
whatever fits
Like it's really easy for people
To find a clip where Zoot's not using
The one that they feel is the best meta
So they start to build this narrative
I see how it worked man
They don't literally watch
And I'm not saying like sit there and watch
They watch but they don't watch
Exactly
They're watching but they ain't watch
I've heard so much like weird narratives
From random people like I didn't even like know
Like Benj for example
I'll give you that one like I know Benj
Benj doesn't watch me
But like I'm hearing
Yeah swoots a slow AR
This and that like bro
I'm really like oh
Swoodie's going to be
using a sub
Has you even ever used like
Yes like I use it more than I use they are
But people just don't
They have like their things and they put it
Yeah
Ben's one of my favorite characters of all time
I'm not saying just Ben Jela
I'm not just all hate on it
Like I'm just saying I've seen it from a lot of different people
Like people don't actually like like watch
Once a narrative forms like people just run with it
Even if they don't even watch it
They'll just like you said I use a sub
Like an echo chamber
Oh it's a hive mine man
Yeah
Yeah
They hear opinion and they echo it's
kind of the way it works. Ben J. you have to look at as like, he could be good on like an
entourage type show, curb your enthusiasm. Like he's good. Other day he's just on stream talking
about Pat about like serious like behind the scene shit. He's like Tom's going to have to make a
decision here soon. It's getting to the point. I'm not sure how far Tom's going to want to push
this. Tom's and Ben, he's just sitting there talking to the world. And Tommy's like, Ben, what the
fuck are you doing? Why are you doing? Like what the fuck? At no point was I think. Now I have to respond.
What the fuck are you do it? Yeah. Well, I think, I think Ben,
He's one of my favorites.
He's a strategic in the way that he's doing that.
I think he, I think, I think, I think, at the end of the day, I think at the end of the day,
either Akes is going to have to beat him up or Ben J's going to have to beat him up.
I now want to see it.
Ben J's probably scrappy, dude.
I pay, I'd pay, I'd pay, listen, I got $10,000.
Pat would batter him.
I have $10,000 up for grabs.
Jay's, he's scrappy, dude.
You just heard Seth is going to meet me.
So there's 20,000 up for grabs for the winner in the boxing match.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's free cash for Pat.
We'll all do respect, Ben.
Seth.
Have you guys ever seen...
You don't think we could sell tickets to see that?
Paper view, baby.
Kid me?
And yeah, we'll give the fighters a percentage.
And swoody, too.
That's it.
You guys ever watch Ben play in his Madden League?
Oh, my God.
He plays in a Madden League?
He's awful.
And he rage is hard.
It's the best thing you do.
over watching your entire life.
What, what the fucking lagged?
He's so good.
I like when he
got up to the phone to talk business
and he didn't mute his mic.
With Adam AP?
Adam was raging on him?
I forget when that was.
Ryan was one of the funniest shit in my life
because you see him back there
and he knows he, in his head,
the mic's muted.
So he seems like he's talking business.
You know what I'm saying?
So he's delivering news.
He was like, he's like, man, you know what I'm having?
Trying to look cool and shit.
You're hearing the whole thing.
He's just like, yeah.
And you see him going like, yeah.
Yeah, of course.
Yeah, I'll do that.
Yeah, I'll do that.
He was making all the, because he thought it was muted.
So he's, he's, he's.
A little animated with it.
Yeah, little animated with it.
He really is one of my favorites.
Same here.
Just the way he talks, he like extends every sentence with these words.
And it's just, it's like, well, I mean, the connective tissue and the parody
between these organizations is really the problem, right?
Because you have the parent company, and it's
just always a good time. Shout out to Ben, man.
He's one of one, and I love him.
I don't love him anymore. He's talking shit about
Swoop.
F that dude. I didn't hear him talking shit about you,
to be honest. What do you say?
When I was on the Stallions, he talked more.
You didn't want to fight him? No.
Teared. Why's everyone trying to take out Benjay?
A bunch of bullies, dude.
He fixed me. It is cool.
Yeah. Can you, can you, can
you click on the Mercilis is not human link
I want to see what you're talking about
because we obviously we know that he's not
I can tell that Mason's Riley's favorite
Oh I've seen this
Yeah I've seen this I've seen this
Oh my god
Dude yeah
It was a big two
Yeah the fact he gets two there
I'll tell you
Rencore looks compromised
Like you can tell he's not having fun right
Yo that kill I remember it
He was on a donut and we were like
yo, Rencore's on a donut. That kill when he went into Rock Corner, like left side of laundry
steps. And a guy came out pillars, he didn't, it was just.
Windy? Oh, it looked like he lost Amosest, but I was like, yeah, I've never seen Rencore look
like this. I've never seen Rencore B-O in anything. Even his body language. Like, that's what I was
kind of saying, like watching Miami this past weekend, you could tell like they were not, like,
super, for instance, just look so stressed. There were no vibes in that camp. Just so,
stressed out. And that's what I was saying.
It's like whenever you watch a team, you can
kind of sometimes tell when a change
is imminent. And watching them this weekend,
you could tell. Something's about
to happen. Trakes
in the red, Rancourt, in a
Super Red. Holy fuck.
Go to the full stats.
Luckily, we've seen enough
of Rancor to know that this is an anomaly.
Yeah, but this does tell me that
he's uncomfortable, the team's
uncomfortable. Super was looking around
like, God, damn.
Somebody hit a bullet
Super was like
Holiness
Tios
9500 damage
No zabber
To punt out
Yeah I don't know
I wonder what they do
Because I mean
Rial
Rial's coming in
For one of the two subs
But Rial
Has not been
Great this year
I don't mean to be an asshole
But like
Compared to like last year's
Real Rial
Is usually a fantastic
Slayer
I feel like in Challenders
he has not played
to that level
He's uncomfortable man
So Trix has
I think if Rial
replaces medals
It just
I struggle to see the flow of the map.
Maybe I'm, you know, I think,
overestimating it, but metals is not,
no, it's not.
He is the dirty work guy.
Exactly, exactly. He is not the guy to replace.
Granted, I do agree if you're doing the dirty work
in this era of the game, you have to get kills
while doing it. I'm not blind to that.
But like, if you replace metals,
you essentially have this a team full of slayers,
just four players that are good at getting kills.
And maybe they can make that work.
I don't know.
But I do expect reality to come in,
just strictly off of like a recent.
set of the vibe. They need some.
They just need like a... Because Miami's a good
team. Miami is good. Like, all
throughout the season, they've been solid. They struggled
on land, but these guys, there's been
points in the season where like, yo.
Dude, look at those triceps, dude.
You know what they need?
They need to salute, man.
You know, my...
Ablas Spanish, too. You can
communicate with them a top three team. Just one week.
Top three? Who would you replace?
Hey, that's for them to decide me. I'm going to come in and handle
videos. Don't matter who you're coming for.
I could call that in Spanish too
One of the middle
Muehuehmeo
I don't know what the fuck you just said
Yeah
Venganse conmigo is what you said
Come with me
Vyse combego yeah comeyase
Vyce means go with
Venganse means come with
Venganse come
Venganse combe
Not to be confused
With Vengansehs
This one Ben almost showed his dick
Yeah yeah
He didn't know
The camera was on
And he was just
Stoking it
And he stood up
So everyone could say
No no
No
No
God.
Ben.
Could you imagine?
Whipp it out,
somebody said in the chat.
Yo,
that got close.
Like,
I know he knows the camera's not on,
but like,
that's what if,
what if he,
No,
never, never,
he's like,
at the setup,
never.
That's what I'm saying.
They were calling him Ben 10,
huh?
What if,
what if he gets up those,
and then,
and then,
oh.
This golf clap for him.
Little boy,
Ben, Jay.
Yeah,
feel.
Oh, he showed us something else.
Oh, he got the little drink cart back there.
Check the bar card.
Okay.
I see.
I see you out in Columbus, Ben.
Yeah, get yourself a little drink.
Damn, dude, that's how I get.
The Slayer of the Short North is what they call him.
Maybe, literally.
Slayer of the Short North.
The Slayer.
Yeah, I think Miami's compromised.
I don't like Trake's tweet.
Obviously, he's the odd man out just because he's the new guy that replaced the
the honeymoon period.
I think Real made a massive mistake.
I said it back then,
I'll say it again.
I think that they were so close
to actually seeing a Sunday
that they showed up.
Did they see a Sunday?
Last year?
Yeah.
They had to have.
Oh no, they did.
They got top four.
Yeah, they did.
I think they did.
I think they did.
I do too.
I do too.
Yeah.
And then where's Trakes gonna go?
Yeah.
I feel you're gonna be on their bench.
I doubt they fully drop him.
He should be on the team.
Or he's going to join a team.
But at the same time,
it's like,
sitting on Miami's bench
and waiting to see this little period,
might be better than joining the offers he might get
because he's probably going to get like a bottom
four offer. It's not going to be
a guarantee champ spot.
Carolina looks good now too.
So Carolina's kind of the one
yeah Carolina looks better. They just got three o'ed.
Yeah, but they look better.
Whoever, he's a pro player.
Who'd they get three owed by? Wait. If
Huntsman is now pros, ex-pros
only? Didn't Ravens lose to? Mostly
ex-pros only. Who'd Ravens
lose to? Koi? No,
not Koi. They went over two.
Us, dude.
Generalmates.
Three-O.
Yeah.
Yeah, look at that.
Yeah, look at that.
Yeah, I'm not really sold on this gentlemanate's team yet.
Me neither.
I mean, actually, I mean, I think they're like a middle of the pack team.
I don't think they're the same upper echelon team that they were major one.
I mean, Estreel had a fucking debut, didn't he?
Estreel's good.
Yeah, of course.
I don't know what it is.
I mean, Neptune's not as dominant as he was major one, but Neptune's still good.
What's his nationality, brother?
He's not a course around that.
Filipino, right? United States. Justin McMillan.
Is that where Jake Cole's from?
Fayetteville, North Carolina.
Fayetteville? Or how would you say it?
Fayetteville? Fayetteville? Paget?
Baguette? Faye?
Yeaderville?
Yo, you think he didn't know? He didn't know or he knew?
He knows how to say baguette, Ben. Yeah.
No, I genuinely don't think he did.
Dog. He knows how to say baguette.
But where did he grow up, Riley?
He grew up in...
Oh, yeah, I was right.
Oh, damn.
How the fuck do you know
from the games
that you'd be playing with Riley?
No, I just...
I remember that from somewhere.
Do you want to Paris?
Yeah.
Yeah?
Yeah.
You ever been overseas like that?
The major two
was my first time overseas.
Okay.
So you went to Birmingham?
Yeah.
What did you think of Birmingham?
Shit.
What do you think of shit?
I think...
I don't like Birmingham when we go.
Huh?
I didn't like Birmingham when we went.
I was talking about yesterday
my chat and everybody from the UK was like
I can't believe their hosted events in Birmingham.
I like London. London's a good time.
London's, I fucking love London.
Birmingham. I heard Paris's ghetto is what I heard.
Sad part. There's a lot of like
homelessness. There's nice parts in those ghetto parts.
Yeah. If you look, anywhere.
Yeah. Where were we going to be?
Are we in the ghetto?
I think the huntsmen are in the ghetto, yeah.
Get the on the huntsmen. Don't worry.
I got dropped.
No, I think we're all staying in the same
hotel. Well, I went last year for the Olympics
Granted, it's the Olympics, it was very, very nice.
It was cleaned up.
I mean, there was no trash.
Oh, that's nice.
We'll see how it looks.
The Poe Poe-Po is up.
I want to know how many tickets they actually sold for like a day.
Like I know it's like 15K a day, I think.
There's 15,000.
It's like 45,000 tickets total.
So it's like 15 a day.
Bro.
30,000 was sold for sure.
Open a map.
It's a lot, right?
Open the map of Europe.
Yeah, that is awesome.
Put the map of Europe over Texas.
It's going to be insane.
That is all.
It's going to be the biggest event, people-wise.
One hour flight from fucking London.
Everywhere, yeah.
Of course.
I know that the green wall is going to show up deep.
I know that.
Yeah, gentlemen mates.
There's a lot of gentlemen mates over there.
No, of course, it's France.
But they got to perform.
But hey, listen, the French, they fuck with us too.
They're going to be stressed over there.
Maybe not the, maybe not the old school college duty real ones.
I'm not going to lie.
They seem a lot nicer than like, like the French fans, even when gentlemenes lose,
there's still a lot of people supporting them.
Yeah.
Yes, being nice to them.
Which, granted, we do as well.
I saw the rest of the community hates.
I saw Tweed.
I saw Caesar tweet last year.
Gigi's lost 30, 5K likes.
I was like, what the fuck?
Yeah, like, if we get 3-0 players have like 1.5K likes.
It's like,
you all better win next week.
It was a honeymoon period.
And but I'll tell you what, the French, they ride for their guys.
Because they will go at you.
Is this where it's at?
This is the Rocket League tournament, right?
Yeah.
This is the venue for the venue for.
the COD tournament.
Holy shit.
Where's the watch parties?
I hope the stage is in the middle.
Hopefully right here.
Hopefully that's our watch party station.
Holy fuck.
They know how to do it.
On sweets.
That's dope.
Yeah, it's going to be fun.
Haven't been to Paris since last year.
I can't wait, bro.
This event's going to be awesome.
Someone asked me my dream,
if I could pick four major locations and champs.
Toronto.
What I pick?
Here.
And no order.
Yep.
You can go first.
I'll say Toronto here, Paris,
and then Anaheim.
Anaheim?
What's your fifth?
I mean Anaheim.
What's your fifth?
No.
You said Toronto, Dallas, Vegas.
Okay, mine was Toronto, Dallas, London,
Okay.
Vegas.
Okay.
And then fifth, I said Boston, but Boston, New York are kind of the same.
Boston or New York is my fifth, I think.
That's my Paris too.
I mean, London and Paris kind of interchangeable.
I just want to go back to London for at least the one time.
Hit the hippodrome?
You Rocket League's production is actually crazy
Yeah they're insane
That's hell of cool
Got fucking wheels and shit
Oh they got the drone
I didn't I saw a clip
Didn't someone crash a drone
At one of the events
He tried going through that tire right there
And he crashed into it
Really?
Yeah the drone operator should not have been
They should have given it to me
He was two turn
Yeah
Try to do some crazy shit
This place looks crazy
Hell yeah
I'm assuming the stage is even in the middle
Right it has to
Based on the tournament
With the seating works
It has to be right
If it looks like anything
like this. We're in for a good time.
And it's coming quick, too.
You know how loud they're weird?
Yeah, these last two splits are just...
We need your clutch for the audio
because it's going to be loud in there.
He's not going to be there.
Shit, Matt Craig.
Matt Craig.
No, Matt Craig can't go.
Matt Craig.
Who the fuck is running the show then?
He didn't know he had fucking...
Don't tell me James.
Wait, who, no.
Who's running on the show?
The Cavs.
This is not Instagram.
The Cavs.
The Cavs.
The Cavs.
Roger?
Roger.
The Big Bad Wolf?
He'll blow the fucking.
the fucking house down. Oh yeah, he didn't give a fuck
don't piss him off. That's right.
Don't piss him off. The calves.
Why are you call him the calves? He's got fucking
excellent. Oh, like his saycone.
Oh, like his cavaliers. Yes. No, the calves.
The AT&T annihilator cup recap. Abner, how'd you do?
Terrible. Team burnt peanut
wins the AT&T annihilator cup.
Damn. We got second. I mean, we did pretty good.
Well, you got second? Yeah, we got second. Oh, that's not bad.
So you get a payout on second?
Yeah, we got 12K each.
Oh, what the fuck?
Hold on.
You did fantastic then.
Yeah.
Should I call my watch guy?
No.
No, throw that in the rainy day fun.
Just stacking.
Stacking on top of the compound inches.
Well,
Team Peanut was a little bit O.P.
This year, but I can't really say anything because last year my team was also OPE.
You won last year?
Oh my God.
Our team last year was insane.
It was me, Double Lift, Landmark, Summit.
and lovely low. Our team was insane.
Who's your team this year? And once again, peanuts like a sleeper. Me, Ludd, Squeaks, Lily and Fusley.
What games do they play? I don't think I've heard of them.
Squeaks plays CS mainly, I think. I think Lily plays fighting games mainly.
Fusley, I'm not sure. And then Ludd plays pretty much out. They play, they're like variety of
them, all of them, though.
There you go. Your picture is cool. Like, all of them all smiling, you're just serious.
See, I don't like the picture. But you're just business.
I don't like that.
Look at Squeaks and look at you.
Squeaks is vibe you, bro.
Two different people.
Squeaks looks blasted.
Squeaks looks blasted.
Peanuts are like a fake out
because everyone thinks he's like
the way he, like his persona,
you'd be like, this guy's shit at the game,
but he's actually a decent gamer.
Yeah, peanuts's good.
I was actually pretty surprised because, like you said,
he's such a troll.
But he comes from Tarkov,
and I feel like anyone that comes from Tarkov,
you're a good gamer.
You're a sweat.
Because Tarkov is a very, like,
Like, oh, no, oh no, no.
Oh, no, no.
Look at him. He's wearing his seat, too.
Like, we're gassing this again.
He's wearing his suit.
One v1.
Look top right.
Look top right.
Pause the clip.
Pause.
He opened a case mid-1v-1.
I have four kills on the round.
I had 10 HP.
I had 10 HP.
And he sees me?
I couldn't even see him.
I couldn't even see him.
I just died.
But I had to play it different because I had no health.
Like if I'm walking around
He needs one bullet I'm dead
And he has a cramp it
Low key the oar isn't
No he's not
He's not
I was gonna fit to
I was gonna fit to say
Bro people are gassing that so hard

For some summer is the favorite season
Travel picks up kids are to school
And the adventure is the focus
It becomes the only thing you can think about
For others however
Juggling it all can be tough
and it can lead some overwhelming and it can lead to counting down the minutes until the kids are back at school.
I like to go fishing during the summer and yeah like the pressure of getting out there too late is always going to be the back of your head.
But overall, a bad day of fishing is better than a good day not fishing.
Therapy can help people get better and better understand their needs, feel more confident, setting boundaries and create a version of summer that they can actually enjoy and that actually feels good.

Here are the elite groups. I will say we got the easier of the two
by a fair margin. So P7's obviously a great team
but outside of that the other side is completely stacked. So
Omnia, I think that's Aesem and R City's team. Bush.
Falcons is, that's still knocks in them, right? That's
Knox. I mean, that's a good team. Then you have
Bittersweet, which is Fellows team. The last team I don't
know.
Do you know who that is?
That one is
Sea Wads' team.
Sea Wads?
Okay.
Swoody's group's
lot harder
because he has
Bush,
Stallions,
TK's team,
which is a weird
Torn's like a weird
good team.
Cabal is
dimensions
and this is the Gaul
there's no way around you.
This is crazy.
So the group is...
You prefer a tougher pool
or an easier one?
It goes two ways.
It's like you get a tough pool
and you get good warm-up matches
going into the finals.
The answer is,
easier.
What's up?
One of these.
I mean, I want to definitely guarantee the
the playoff racket yet, but it does
help that if, you know, not going
and we do make it out, we'll probably play an easier
matchup. Because I'll put the hoodie on, bro.
If you make it the playoffs, this is
better because I think your quality of matches is
higher. Yeah, but also.
Breaking news. Today we are part of
Drake's. We're grateful for the effort
and the work Nico has put in during these months.
Get on the phone. And they dropped
them. Wish you nothing but the best. How many
points does he have?
probably a lot
Rosters are locked
dude
fuck
Drake's
Jesus
Mark me
give me
give me a
yeah
I'm sorry
I'm so surprised
they'd like
fully dropped him
that's kind of crazy
and I feel bad for him
because I feel like his visa
is tied to the heretics
fucking lucky doing here
he's the assistant coach
Oh dude bro
that's my man's right there
They sat him in the Tony chair
The change
The change is
in the SMGs
and a part of
now
he's
in the place of trikes.
Yeah.
It's a change
like this
generate
about the opinions
and we'll
understand and you
hear of us
we're going to
be able to
to puttriza
what there
and that's
capable of
and to
keep up
they let them
talk.
The last
three majors
we know that
the group
not has been
not been sufficient
we're
we're doing
in the online
but then
in the
time presential
not we
not we
We've done to adapt to the best way.
And during these last months, we've
had various difficulties, adapting us,
and, over all, trying to find the identity of the
equipment, trying to find the manner in
that between the four players,
coincidies in ideas, and we
we'd in the server.
So, for that we've taken this decision.
And first of all, I'd like to
appreciate to Nico the time that has
been here with us.
It's a person of 10, and we
we've been very well with him,
both in the good and in the bad moments,
but more than the
level individual of a person,
there are many things in a team
that have to function.
For example, the
theme of the communication,
the theme of the adaptation
to the systems that we have
when we're playing,
the theme of the errors
that we're committing
when we're trying
and when we're
when we're trying
and at the end of
the people
only see a 5%
of what we've
we've been
many things
for the inside
during the days
in the screams
in which the team
a kind of
we're trying to
solution.
Not only
there's
any of
things,
but what
is that we're
that we're
to change
and the
room that we're
going to
take to
now,
George as
we think
is the
most optimal.
The real
methods.
The
year ago
did
a lot of
a lot of
we're
those
we're going
we're
we're
we're
we're doing
with the
incorporation of
Chema,
we're able to
the
thing of the
confidence and the communication
in the team,
that's one of the
two pillars
more important that
we've been
been in the
last few years.
We know that's
something we need to
make a lot of
we're doing
the team,
in the map,
and the other
three people
are very well
with him and
confian in it
atop.
And grand
part is for
that, for
what we're
to do this
change.
Something that
has been
going to
during these
the last last we're going to
we're going to get us
we're going to
we're going to
and we're going to
we're going to
that's not
because it's
because it's a
the year past,
that's a person
that is capable of
put up
and when it
when it's a
that is what
in this
in this is what in this
team now really
we're going to
give us
and that the
people have too
because Traik's and
How long is this?
Six minutes.
Okay, so he just said there's a lot going on
behind the scenes.
They're saying there's some,
looks like they're saying there's issues behind the scene.
Yeah.
Because obviously, Trakes is a good player.
Well, no, I mean, but bottom line,
ultimately what he said right there is that
that this guy hasn't been
sort of acclimating to their systems.
And then he goes on and says,
Like we're not learning from mistakes when we lose.
Like, but at the end of the day, he says that he's like, at the end of the day, it's about
communication and other things that, you know, that we have been comfortable with with this
guy, Real.
Which is why they shouldn't have fucking gone.
The first way I am, I actually tip my hat, tip my hat to all three of those dudes who are
welcoming Rayall back.
You leave me like that in that way.
You ain't never come back.
No.
Unless your Nate shot.
Nate shot anytime you want come back.
It settles pretty quick, usually.
Unless there's like really bad blood.
at the end of the day, like, it comes back quick.
I mean, once the emotion leaves it too, like, the guy wanted to go play with Joe DeSeeves.
It's been half a year.
It's been almost a full season at this point.
And then he got dropped on his head.
He wanted to go to Casamoto.
No Nintendo.
You wanted to go to the rooftop.
You can't blame the guy.
Prime Cifoucairis.
Wait, who said that, ghosty?
But yeah, good luck to the heretics, man.
I mean, we'll see how Real does.
Exciting to see him come back into the roster.
We'll see how they do.
But yeah, I just don't think you can drop medals.
No, I don't.
I wouldn't.
He's their dirty work guy, man.
And Metals is, he's solid.
He has, like, pop-off series where we're like, holy shit.
There's a direct correlation to when he's frying and when they're frying.
Yeah, Medals is playing his role and getting kills.
They're a scary team.
He's an X-Factor.
I think, listen, I know that Trakes is the fucking man.
I've seen him play.
Everybody knows his skill level.
I test all that.
But that system, that Spanish team, like, just works better with all four of them,
with the amount of history, with the amount of experience that they've had together.
They were literally like, I don't know, man.
They were so close, in my opinion.
So I think it's the right decision.
I don't know if it's fair to Trakes or not.
It's behind the scene stuff.
I'm sure that Trane's not fine.
One of a good.
Maybe not this year, but he'll be back.
I feel like he did enough to cement a spot on a team.
At the very least, I think, I just wonder what is, because he's fully dropped,
meaning I'm assuming his visa was tied to them.
I hope he can at least play in challengers over here.
Otherwise, he has to go back to EU and play challengers.
Which is why he'll probably remain on the bench.
This was Real's, this was when it's Toronto.
It wasn't good.
Yeah, he was not good with Toronto.
He was struggling.
I don't think he fit in there.
I definitely think he'll be more comfortable with this team.
The play styles, the language, like,
I definitely think he's going to play better on Miami.
Huh?
Same language, but maybe in different binaculars.
But yeah.
We got the minor tournament this weekend.
Wish him luck.
Be fun to watch.
Yeah, I can't wait.
We have a pretty hard road.
We actually, we play the winner of Riyadh and Ravens.
And Riyadh's been...
Isn't it Falcons Toronto or is it Falcons Ravens?
Right there.
I think it's...
Right on there.
You can see it right there.
Falcons look good.
Falcons look really good.
Falcons look good.
Like Falcons even at the event.
I mean, they kind of ran out of steam.
But at the event, they looked really...
They didn't lose a map until what, winter semis against us.
They didn't lose a single map.
They played phase.
Like, Falcons look strong, man.
Yeah, Falcons do look strong.
Mm-hmm.
Uh,
all right,
Coy, Cloud 9, Cloud 9 advances,
plays gentlemen's,
gentlemen's advances,
so hopefully we're playing gentlemen mates,
beat gentlemenmates,
they dropped down to finals.
It's,
I don't know,
gentlemen's like Zinny said,
I'm not sold on those guys right now.
So you think Koi's gonna beat them?
Yeah,
I think Koi beats you.
I feel like gentlemen
depends on what Koi shows up,
they just got three-oed by Carolina.
Oh,
I forgot,
they're kind of compromised too.
See?
The whole insight.
I don't know,
Kipps was in my chat saying
we're good over here,
the Carolina's got us.
Listen,
I know that him and Joe deceives,
are good. I know that they're good.
Joe had an off series too. You know for a fact, Jamie's
looking at Joe in that room. Yeah.
Yeah. I think...
Hey, Jamie, can give me a water? Yeah.
Sure. Sure.
Do you mean, Jamie is right or wrong, though, for feeling that way?
Right. I mean, he's a human, right? But he's also professional. I think
I think Jamie's probably a good person to be...
He's been around for a minute to. If you're going to try to drop someone and keep
them, I feel like Jamie's one of the better options to, like, handle it the right way, right?
He's a bit older.
He's been around for a while.
He understands.
Got it.
He may not like it, but I'm sure he gets it, right?
He's not, I'm sure he knows it's not personal.
To me it was.
Yeah, let's talk about your team, sweetie, just real quick.
Yeah, let's talk about your team, Swoot.
You, O-Kiss, Manny.
And skill.
And skill.
Awesome, man, good luck.
Skills good, yeah.
There was a lot of hype around him because he just turned 18, right?
O-Kis?
Yeah.
No, skill.
Oh, Kish and challenge.
Fries.
Yeah, he's in.
With all due respect
in the pro league he was struggling,
challengers,
he's dropping 50s,
he's going crazy.
He needed more time in challengers.
Okis, he's got good comms.
He's got the slang.
Good headset on.
I actually do think Ocas has a
promising future in the CDL.
1.30 a.m.
I'm grinding at 130, man.
Damn.
No of the other.
Jill was dreaming of Korean barbecue
with his Md W4 body.
Just you out there?
Just me grinding.
He wasn't when me shooting in the gym.
1.30 a.m.
Just know that I notice everything.
Okay, Sue, just know.
Some people wanted.
Some people need it.
Some people wanted.
Some people kind of wanted.
That's right.
You know who I.
That's right.
Big food up in the building.
Just listen.
I know that three players
says, you know, but listen.
Three players wanted to not make a change,
and I still went out there,
and I told this guy contact you know who,
and then he came descending from the clouds
to turn our season around.
Oh, Mason.
The Savior.
I literally said, Mr. Ramsey.
Yeah, I know you three wanted to not change, but we're changing.
You put your foot down.
And then I sent the Axeman to go get him.
I'm going to go and handle business.
I'm going to put my balls on the table.
It doesn't happen often.
It's only happened maybe three times in my entire career.
Where you just had to say, fuck these kids.
Yeah, fuck that.
Dash is coming back.
You guys are fucking.
Never with me, though, right?
No.
You wouldn't even dare step to me?
To do.
Dude, I know you'd pick me up and flex on me.
That's right.
You heard that shit?
Thank you, Lord, for this year per 30.
He's a good man, that guy, good man.
He's been playing league, too.
I love that for him.
Love it.
Wait, wait, wait, really quickly.
Go back.
Was this the first time that Craze and Mamba got back together,
and this was their first match as the Coopers?
Yeah.
Yeah, I also think that team's horrible.
Yeah, that team's not great.
Dude, my, man.
I mean, you get rid of Gwyn, it's like...
Yeah.
I feel like Gwen's one of those.
You just can't.
No one's going to, it's going to be hard for someone to have the same ceiling slang-wise, definitely.
Like, Craze, I think, is good.
I think Craze might play the game better.
But Gwen's individual pop-off.
His takeover, yeah.
But when you're a bottom-four team, at least having some people that can individually will you to victory sometimes.
It's needed.
But granted, I mean, listen, those guys aren't really in the conversation.
Yeah, no, they're not.
They're way down there.
They're what, 2-0?
And so far the split?
Yeah.
But they've been popping off a bit?
They played Vancouver, they reversed swept them, then they played Cloud 9.
So we'll see how they look against somebody else.
Cloud 9 is not having the best month, huh?
Hey, listen, Carolina, if Miami can't figure it out, Carolina can maybe do something.
If they have a good minor tournament.
Brother, they're 60 back with one event.
But Miami.
They got the new kid, though.
If Realde doesn't fix their problems, you never know.
Standy, I think, is maybe bringing some new life in there.
They would need them to lose out, though, and they would essentially need to win out and get like top two at the major.
It's unlikely, but it's still.
they're not making a slight possibility they're not making it wait uh matt craig you're not coming
with us to france yet right who's in the watch party james you yeah figure it out bro
this guy james's gonna go to france and just be out and about the whole time talking to the ladies
no yeah well from the from the delivery room riley no you're crazy man well listen either
the way it's going to be an adventure. So let's see what's happening around the internet, Ryland.
We just got a letter. We just got a letter.
This Ethan, guy's good, man.
Ethan.
That's a dirty clutch.
You see what Rafi said about Ethan?
He tweeted about it.
Yeah, I saw his tweet.
I don't know why I wasn't on the beatie.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
I mean, that was fucking filthy.
Ethan is gross.
That was disgusting.
Against Eric Boone and Snoopy.
I mean, he backed him, but he said,
fucking, either one of you, I don't care,
just chat, one of you, Chalmy.
Backed him both down.
Yeah, he's, he's good.
He's good.
He fucking went into their turn.
On a hundred ping.
He's gonna be in a league next year.
Like at the start of next season,
he'll be in the league.
I mean, he was supposed to be on gentlemen mates of parents.
Who's that?
That's Jay Lito.
Me, him and Faddy play withers,
Neil Team 6.
Yo, when are we gonna play some?
You know I got the, you see me play.
Me and him played a dove's match in Black Off 6 on a protocol.
He's fake breaking windows,
diving off top ropes.
hilarious. Don't be surprised.
But who's this?
Bro, let's get a child.
You want to get a child together?
Fucking tell me when.
I'll put up the money.
You don't have, make it for a hundo.
I'll pay your, your priest.
Oh my God, you got a, you got a credit, bro.
Yeah, you got a personal credit.
Dude, I got to put debt to me in the tweet.
You got to get a handy, though, handy, well,
handicap.
Listen, all you can rely on me is shooting straight, okay?
Anything strategically?
Me and you versus fatty and Zinney.
I'm, I'm, I'm infinite.
Better than Fatty.
Infinite.
Infinitely better than Fatty?
Yeah.
infinitely.
I don't know.
He's a professional.
I can't wait too.
I can't wait.
I can't wait till he's in.
I can't wait till you see that.
I've been watching.
Then you know he's not.
I think we sit.
I don't know.
I see Fatty clutch up quite a bit.
He's that good?
His mind is not.
His hands and mind don't work in cohesion.
Same here.
I came in the chat.
They started putting on a show.
Oh, he starts getting louder.
Jay, you're dick riding.
Because I was watching before that.
And I came in the chat and Fatty started getting hype.
What do you say?
Dude, they're crazy, by the way.
It's great.
What he says about Jay's mom?
Oh, come on.
He's crazy.
It's good.
You're going to talk about nobody's mom.
You got to be like boys' boys to say some shit that they're doing.
I don't know any.
I don't have any boys, boys like that.
Yo, don't let that boy.
Okay, hold on.
Rafi, hi.
It's June 1st and I have a generational talent ready for the Call of Duty League.
If you're serious about winning, please call me to arrange a fair and friendly transaction.
Not you, bottom four.
at your earliest convenience
you know who you are.
Best regards, omit, Rafi.
Don't let that boy, Ethan,
walk for less than 100, Rafi.
Someone offered me the price of a used
Toyota Camry 1994 after Atlanta.
A hundred.
Yeah, you're not getting 100.
A hundred.
Not getting 100.
Maybe.
15, 10, maybe.
I don't think you would do that.
Even Rafi's a big business guy.
I don't know.
There's only so much you can do, though.
At the end of the day,
you have to take everything into account.
Let's say gentlemen's, for example,
want Ethan next year,
and that's his best starting offer.
Rafi's not going to sit there and say,
sorry,
I'm not going to take your 20K,
I want 50 and just hold him in challengers.
At least maybe I'm wrong.
At least...
Nah, he doesn't strike me as that either.
Unfortunately, and you know what's fucked up?
Is that he's only doing that
because this was best for him, right?
It's best for Ethan.
But he should get what he should be getting.
Well, he...
The one thing, Ethan might have multiple offers, and that's, of course, going to help him.
I mean, if he has multiple top six teams interested,
Ethan's nasty.
I definitely think he's going to have decent offers going into next year.
But that is the secret, foregoneers.
Do right by the players always, and you should be fine.
What happened?
I say, Rafi, if you had this kid signed four years ago, ooh, paper, paper, paper.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, if he was old enough.
There's paper flying.
Market changes up a little bit.
It did, man.
Damn
Up until that point
No one had ever got
an A 7 figure
What's going on right here
Can't wait to see Shotsie
Break this out of champs
Yeah let's show the world
What is you guy here
Oh my God
He's on top of the show
He's on top of it
That's so absurd
Oakey showed me that spot actually
Yeah
Is easy up there?
He'll jump onto that white
Yeah it's pretty simple easy
Dude if I hit rock
And Docs him out there
I'll be off the game
That's Shotsie?
up there or somebody else? No.
No, someone else. He's saying shots he's going to do that.
Yo, you know what's crazy? This gun right here melts.
Insane. I was fucking, yeah, I was playing in, I was playing ranked.
I feel like the past couple years of Cod, the game has changed drastically throughout
the season. Like, look at like MW3, B-06, this game, like new maps, new metas, like, I feel
like, because the MPC completely shook this game up.
Yeah.
MPC meta's a bit crazy.
What do you think about Hossi?
I prefer watching...
Like been sub-dominant?
Like being sub-dominant?
No, it's always AR-dominant.
It's kidding me?
Yeah, it's always...
So this is the first call where he'd say it's a sub-dominant meta.
No, I mean, it's been...
The ghost vector meta was crazy.
MW2019, the...
The thing is this, if you're a good...
I think the Slog, Black Ops 4 hit-skinned.
Once it became hit-scan was really good.
Yeah, hit-scan was good.
What else was there?
I mean, you were a sub-your-year-old-year-old career.
I mean, you still handled...
Mw3 to run.
W3 to rival, I think.
Always, but ARs have it easier.
They get freebies, bro.
Subs like, you'll get a freebie every now and then, but you got to make your freebies.
All you have to do is look back at all the MVPs for every tournament.
They all AARs.
Why?
They play the game the right way.
No, it's because they're getting freebies on cabin heavy.
They're back here like, oh shit, what's happening over there?
I know you're not looking at it.
It's because they get to use the bar on St. Marie and just wall bang and get a three piece.
All right.
YouTubers are taking over Hollywood.
I want to know what this means.
Variety says
YouTubers
Oh wait, what the fuck?
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Everyone's raving about obsession.
I heard backrooms is egg
compared to obsession.
Wait, these are YouTube stars?
It's like,
because have you seen as above so below?
No.
That's kind of like the backrooms,
but it's in the Paris catacombs.
Obsession apparently is amazing.
Yeah, I heard good things about it.
I really want to see it.
I haven't even heard anything of it,
so don't tell me anything about it.
A 750K budget made over 100 million so far.
Yeah.
Good, good, hey, good ROI.
Good ROI.
Great ROI.
That's a 10x right there.
Wait.
It's a scary.
100x.
What is?
How much was it?
You like 150 to make?
Yeah.
Made over 100 mil box off.
100 X.
So far.
My math don't work.
I hate them.
I'm not like a, obsessed with them.
Like some people who like love horror.
Yeah.
But I have to watch it with people though.
Yeah.
You never see me like a new hormo?
151.
No, that's crazy.
Yeah, we should make a movie.
Yeah?
I'm down.
Let's go.
I actually have an idea.
We do a series, a new series.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And listen, this is about me, trade my, my, my name.
And we use everyone here in the optic facility.
You know, we make our sets.
We do a novella themed.
Yeah.
A novella themed series.
Yeah, yeah, like a...
We call it...
Two Mujeres.
No, no.
Updique.
You lost me.
A tovella, novella?
Novela.
And then we all like,
could just be like in the novella.
Yeah.
All right, that's pretty cool.
What else do we have here?
Good try,
Swoot.
NT.
You like that?
Hey, I'm gonna make it watch.
I'm with you, dude.
No.
I'm with you.
I'm with you.
You're not in it.
What is this, Riley?
Oh, shit.
I saw someone tweet.
They were like,
how the fuck does this guy,
I don't know much about him, but how does this guy, you know, become a director, talent?
Well, they're just like, how does he get that opportunity?
Talent, delusion, fierce.
But it looks like, I mean, his passion.
Well, look, though, he has a YouTube channel.
He makes some short films and boom gets a shot.
Over and over again.
Now he's going to be directed.
Oh, what's next?
He's about to elevate.
Yeah, what's next?
He's about to elevate.
Him and Mike Flanagan doing a series together, the Haunting of Hill House.
He does look like an artistic fellow, though.
There's just some thick glasses right there.
Yeah.
Those glasses are thick.
26 years old from mobile.
That's where Riley's from.
He looks like someone you see at a Paris dress from a laptop.
Are those, are those meta-glasses?
No.
No, no, no.
All right.
Perk reviewing Hex's food picks on the vlog.
What do you mean?
Yeah, no.
Wait, wait, let me hear this.
Oh, wait, what the fuck?
What am I watching?
That big guy.
Oh yeah.
That big guy.
That bit tough.
You ever heard that?
It's like a mix of J. Lito.
This has been like trendy.
Everyone's eating these jars.
I'm getting fucking.
What is that?
What's in there?
What is that?
What is in?
Waterman?
And coolade.
Ooh.
Like it's probably fire.
It gets pineapple.
It makes it a coolade.
No, it's pineapple.
That looks good.
I'm not going to lie.
Whatever it is.
It looks delicious.
That big a.
The big air.
The big air.
It looks on how
Rockstar games is using CIA
taxes to stop GTA
5, 6 leaks
to catch this guy
The Rockstar is moving into the CIA
It's moving like the CIA right now
To catch the DCA six leakers
They're allegedly planting fake info
specific developers different
Oh, I love that
Different fake information
For different people
When something leaks the version
That hits the internet
tells them exactly who the leaker is
I used to do that
This is known intelligence technique
By the CIA
That's called the Canary Trap
A video game studio
running counterintelligence ops against its own staff
to protect trailer three. This isn't
damage control. This is SpyCraft and I fucking
love Rockstar for that and I haven't
played Grand Tufthado
since the top top
view version of it in PlayStation 2.
What other games that Rockstar make? Does GTA?
Red Dead? This reminds me of like
what game I want to play.
Holy! Manhunt! Holy shit!
Wait, Midnight Club, dude? I used to play that shit
so much. Yeah, same. I used to play
that shit. Yeah, with the flags? Capture the flag?
Holy fuck.
The Warriors come on and play.
They just saw a story game.
Max Payne.
I used to see that Manhunt cover at like GameStop and I was always so scared of it.
I was like, what the fuck is this game?
I never played it.
The Italian job with the minis?
That's the one I played right there and plays a season two.
Yeah.
They made Red Dead, didn't they?
Yeah.
You ever played Max Payne?
Nope
Banger
I've never played any of these games
I don't like story game
I don't like I'm just
It doesn't treat me either
If I'm gonna play a story game
I'm playing Zelda
You know
Wind Waker Breath of the Wild
You didn't play
Eldering
No
We're not nerds right
No everyone's got to play
At least once before you
You just said Eldon ring
I mean you just said
Final Fantasy
Or what did you say?
Zelda
Zelda
Oh you just said Zelda
Yo but that's that dude
That's a nerdy shoot
No it's not dude
You have the ill adventure
and at the end you get the girl.
What's nerdy about that?
Nah, that shit's clutch.
You get the switch on the flight, play some Zelda.
But the hard part about it is you can't look up the YouTube tutorial.
So I got stuck so many times on flights and I just didn't know how to get out of it.
I quit on one of them and I'd just be getting mad.
And you know why I quit?
Because you're trying to solve the puzzle right here and then you see a kid go like this.
And then catches the ball in the back and then fucking lips into the shit.
I'm like, I'm not doing that.
Anyway.
But yeah, Grand Theft Auto.
might fuck cod this year.
If you need to just launch, just changed PC gaming forever,
runs Forza Horizon 6 and 007 on its new chip,
100 FPS 1440p, off the charger with no throttling
on a laptop.
Shit, I might need to put all my money in Nvidia.
Oh, it's all, I have a lot in there.
I might need to just full port.
Just leaving in there.
Dude, Nvidia's doing good work.
I gotta show you the most beautiful part.
I want to shake that man's hand.
I want to shake his hand.
I want to shake that man's hand.
But he's got that drift on though.
He's wearing an alligator.
Bro, running 1440, 100 frames
on a laptop is insane.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Nvidia's RTX Spark
laptops. I'm getting one.
Yeah, I might get one too, no cap.
1440, 100 frames on a laptop?
Thank you.
Damn, that's sick.
I want to shake that man's hand.
Hell yeah.
That's so crazy.
They don't need a side dedicated GPU anymore,
whatever that means.
Yeah.
My laptop's nice, but even just having the ability to set your res to 1440 and it run like native 1440 on a laptop is crazy.
Yeah, agreed.
What's the one-on-one draft we're doing today?

Did you want to buy this one?
Yeah, the SVJ or the Hachiroku, but the SVJ.
What's a Hachiroku?
That sounds like an android.
Nah, the Hachiroku is a Toyota Truano, 1986 AE.
Once I'm done having kids and shit and like all the dust cells, maybe I'll get a really nice car.
Maybe.
Once I'm done, what the fuck?
You're not a regular person.
You don't have to wait for anything.
I'm not a regular person.
Aventador SVJ, that's right.
That's a fire call.
Nice.
Nice.
See, I like Lambos.
Wait, can I see my car, the La Farrari?

Yeah, yeah.
That's 4-58 right there.
Riley just fucking scroll down and click.

Mm.
I think the La Ferrari
shits on this car
Yeah, I'm not gonna lie
Wait that 458, the 24
Look at that, that silver one, are you kidding

That one's nice.
Well, these are like older models.
This is 2012, bro.
Go to a new one.
These are 2014s.

Type in the 488 Gt. GtB.

That one's nice.
If you get a spider of that.

I need...
What's the price on the SVJ?
Let's say like a...
My guess is 400.
Nah, car prices went up.
Yeah.
Cheesh.
Like a Ferrari used to be like...
$900 to $1.3 million?
A Ferrari used to be like $250 to $300.
Now it's like 400 minimum.
900K for the SVJ?
Yeah.
It's a fucking Lambo.
Damn.
Damn.
Mm-hmm.
Wait, it says AI overview.
Wait, can we see our lists again?
What's a regular?
What about a regular eventador?
I say 400 flat.
No SVJ.
Are you 50?
Yeah, like, look at that.
Like, an eventador used to be 400.
Now they're going for 800, bro.
It's more reasonable.
Talk to your dealer.
But that's the thing.
If you're going to get a car like that, you get a nice, like, 2014, 2015,
used so you get like 20, 30% off market.
Or you just lease it.

Kast, Kill Street, the modern warfare nuke came literally after the chopper gunner.
The Ferrari 458 spider is not fast with the Avenador.
