You know what? See, that's the thing, though. You added some personality to it. I love that. You're ad libbing. I like that. So great job. Thank you.

That's the dude does it all, man. Personality. Says he's good of sniping. Is this your first pod? No. No, I did the couch one with. No, this is the first optic pod. Like your first optic, like right here.

Yeah, here on this desk. Welcome, bro. Thank you. I appreciate it. Big day. Big day for smoke. Chair's warm. I feel like since I, since I don't do eavesrop anymore, have you done it around the bar?

No. Okay. Well, obviously you don't drink. I have on special occasions. Oh, that's allowed, but you can't swear? I'm 22. Oh, okay. I don't get it.

You can't swear because of religion, but you can drink? So long as it's wine. No, no, no. I mean, I don't drink. Like, I'm not like, it's still bad to drink. But like, no, I'm not getting freaked up. On special occasion, though. Like, you're getting freaked up?

On special occasion. You got to see, like, that's a situation where... I mean, yeah, you might have to change wording a little bit. Like, I might have, like, a truly or like, like, I drink like a girl. I drink like B-word. Like, I can't drink hard liquor. So, like, if it's a girl, fruity drink, like Mike's lemonade or like white claw, give me a white claw and we turn it.

Dude, there's no law when the claws involved, man. Bro, I haven't dragged in a minute, though. Haven't? No, I haven't drank it. I don't drink anymore. Just because, like, drinking. then sleeping, like getting, like, chopped up sleep and drinking? I don't know how my brother does it.

He's like Superman, bro. What the fuck happened to you? Dude, he'll drink like seven drinks, wake up, he's at it, dad dudes. You remember when this guy used to go harder than anybody else and still be up? Dude. I don't know. Fucking old fuck. Hey, man, is it such a bad thing that I might be.

Punk? Happened to him. No, it might be like just, that's a better thing. Don, drinking's a good thing. Yeah. Oh, of course. Drinking, everyone knows. Drinking's fun when you're doing it afterwards.

It sucks. Every single time you drink, you're like, holy fuck, why did I do this? Yeah, I'm getting like the two of days now. Yeah, the two days after I drink. I'm like tired and I'm like fatigued and I'm like, dude, what's going on here? I'm 28. I'm not fucking 40. I got to the point now where it's just not worth it anymore.

And like older people, like yourself. Yeah. They always say like, my bad. It's just they come to a point in life where they're like, it ain't worth it. It's not worth it. It's not worth it. It's not worth it. It's not worth it.

It's just feel so shitty because your body's older. Dehydrated feels worse. It's not worth. it if you're just at home chilling. That's just not my thing. But like, if I'm going out to a dinner, I want to have an old fat. Of course. That's different.

Of course. And I'm frequenting dinner. Of course. I don't think I can go to a dinner without having a beverage. I'm consistently at dinner. That's the issue right now. Oh, that's good. Well, that's a good life to lid, man.

Well, I will say, like, the only reason I stop drinking the way that I used to drink is because my hangovers lasted two days. And I was just miserable the entire time. And then I thought about it. I'm like, man, when I take an edible or when I do that, I was, like, I wake up just find the following morning so long as doesn't have melanin what's cap for you no the edward has you wake it up feeling dude yeah the edward has me feeling like i can't think when you take the edward scissors hands and you you wake up i take 50 o' hour scissor hands every you know what's the thing like

when you do that you don't dream because it fucks your sleep like it makes you fall asleep but then your sleep is worse your rm cycles messed up i feel like i've had crazy dreams when i smoke am i tripping you might be tripping. So this is my contention surrounding this very, very broadly experienced scenario. I dream, but I also don't remember them.

But I know that I dream because I remember like faint things. So I think that it's not that you don't dream. It's just that you know how cannabis causes short term, short term memory loss a little bit? Like you forget where you're like where the fuck is my sandwich? Well, I have memory loss.

Oh, my sandwich is inside of the fucking bread bag again. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. That sort of thing. So it's not, so I don't think that you don't dream. I just think that you don't dream. forget your dreams because you forget your dreams to begin with already.

So on weed. Everyone's different. Yeah. So here's the thing. When I used to smoke consistently, my thing was forgetting which body part I washed in the shower and that I'd have to rewash. And the issue is, and guess what, Seth? He always forgot to wash that one part. No.

Redo that part again. Wash my ass four times. He doesn't talk about your ass. But I'm still doing it. Like, I still sometimes, if I'm like, tired. I'll like, did I wash my armpits already? And then I'll, and then once I wash them again, I'm like, I remember I did this. Okay, I don't have that problem. No? No. Might need to see a doctor. Yeah. Like, I'll forget like my glasses, even though I went inside the house to go get the glasses.

Oh yeah, but that's like, I'll walk in for glasses, come out with a bottle of water and be like, what the fuck are my glasses? Why'd I come out here in the first place? I do that all the time to. Woody, I feel like that's just someone that's like, like for example, my, I know a lot of people that just lose shit all the time. Are you responsible? Or are you responsible? You're responsible? You can tell. Okay. You know, Seth, if I also ask you what his nationality is just by the looks of him, what would you say?

It's a safe space. Yeah. I won't be offended by anything. Well, Seth's half Mexican, dude. I would say Indian and like Middle Eastern mix. You're a scumbag. That's actually insane. That's what I thought too.

No, it's not. I said the same thing. You know what? Safe place. I can't tell, though. It's like, it's like right down the middle. I can't tell them what you are. I thought Indian.

Really? Yeah. My family's from Mishu Khan. Mishu Khan? Mm-hmm. They got pyramids and shit there? Yeah. Hell yeah.

Yeah, I agree. I kind of thought Indian or, like, Lebanese. Yeah, it's that damn graphic that they freaking, I told that guy. What graphic? I forgot his name. From here? Yeah, they posed a graphic with the Huntsman. It was with my face.

I looked Indian as hell, and I told him, do the other one. I see you every day. It doesn't change. The graphic has not. The graphic has not to do it. No, but it pushes more Indian propaganda. Yes. And we don't need any of propaganda.

We need Mexican propaganda. So what we need is a boys trip to Mexico, tacos. Oh, not that one. Not that one. Well, on that note, happy Cinco de Mayo, man. Gracious, gracious. Gracious. Gracious.

Let's go. Thanks, you mean. Next vlog, boys trip to Mexico. You want to go? Would you go? You have your passport? Come on. You have to go to Mexico City.

I'm good, bro. He's not going. I'm good. Wait, from what perspective? I know. His shit. His shit the pants? But you wouldn't though. Oh, yeah, dude.

Whoever did this. I'm always mad at them when they try. I just don't understand. They've been using that same pick of brack for a deck for decades. And I also think like, gosh, darn. See, look. It's actually not that. I mean, that one I did look Indian.

Right to left. Jersey Shore. John looks like a mentalist, you know, one of those guys. Bro, John's hair is fucking great. You look a bit Indian and then Carson looks like wreck at Ralph. Yeah. Just so you know, if the league or anybody ever tells you, like, you'll take a picture doing this or doing that, don't do it.

What? Yeah, if they said look over your shoulder, don't look over your shoulder. What if I get fine? You didn't get fine? You just tell us like, is it not? I don't feel comfortable doing that. And just crush your arms and look bad ass. No, but I like to smile.

I like to be a good person. He's saying like media day, like when we were in the league, you'd go to media day. That picture. That one pisses me off. What, this one? Yeah. That's not even you, too. Fuck Johnny.

The one of me, that one. I look so mid in that picture I hate that picture Bro, you're good man I look so I look like freaking you hex after you're smoking Canna bro all you need is 1.3 in the league and there's baddies just

just flocking Wait but you don't do that either right He's not focused on Not focused on that You gotta be careful But yeah at the media days They would make you do crazy shit And that's why we say that

Like I don't know if they do it anymore But they'd get they put you on a stage In front of like 30 CDL camera crew and they'd be like, give us something, give us some flare. And you're sitting on stage like, they'd say, hit a dance. Fuck you talk about.

And they're like, I don't know, just feel it. And I'm like, what? And then, yeah, they make you dance. It was like a humiliation ritual. Not really, they. Yeah. Here it is. Okay, I feel it.

This is criminal. Yeah, right before that, they said, just feel it. Oh, shit. What's terrible is like, I was doing this shit. You think he was feeling it? Thinking that this wasn't going to be in there. They actually use it. Yeah, because they,

they asked a maniac is they act like a dog he's like you chose the wrong dude no that was my own that we had like a tunnel and I was like I'm just gonna troll I was like what's your own doing well it was like a dark tunnel and they turned the lights on as you're walking down it so I was like

let me come out the shit on all fours so I like was running out of it it was more they didn't use it it was more for like team vibes yeah exactly it was before a tournament I was trying to get the Vodka oh yeah right here damn how do you fucking Find this so quickly, Riley.

I don't think this looked as bad as like, I thought. Like when you first described this, I thought it was going to be like some... Humiliation rituals. Like something humiliating. Yeah, they used this. That's right. There's, I feel like I didn't better. Hey, you're a dick boy right there.

That's tough. Oh, yeah, I was definitely a dick boy. Look, jack. Yeah, you look jacked. You just did like ten pushes for this. Hell no. Wait, was this? Imagine that chasing you in the dark?

I remember they said... I kicked the shit out of that. I remember they said, do a thunder clap. I said the fuck is a thunder clap They wanted me to go Oh I thought they wanted you to do this Now what I've always hated Is when they want you to get like fake hype in the moment

When they're like act like you just want a map But I'm like I don't know how to do that I barely win that I haven't won a mat Oh yeah I beat you too So where are you originally from

Las Vegas Oh Las Vegas born and race Yeah All 22 years So hot as fuck Hot as freak yeah How this frick How close to the street

strip. About 20 minutes. But you don't go to that sinful place to you. I've been there so many times. I don't really like this shit. We love it. We love this trip. Love it for three days. Then I'm done.

We're going to be there for six. Well, having like champs there's different because it breaks it up. If you're just there for debauchery, yeah. If you're there for debauchery, I got three days, that's it. And then I'm like, bro, I'm going to get out. Vegas is great for a food lover and for the. That I am. For the blackjackback.

See, I need to start going to Vegas. Like this year, we need to go to shows. Like, though, with our schedule. Yeah. Just like, I want to go to Absinth. Absinth was amazing. But, like, the casino is obviously fun, but like, the real. I don't know if it's going to be fun anymore.

I enjoy the show. The casino? Yeah. No, it's not going to be fun for you guys anymore. Well, I mean, I'm going to tell you why it's going to be, I think, even more exciting because it's going to fucking hurt more. It's more about like. Just as much.

It's more about just like, if you're not there with people, it's obviously not as fun. It's more about everyone from the CDL's there. You go down to the casino. you know, you see a team play in blackjack there. It's just, it's a good time. Yeah. Yeah, but I want to stay outside of the mix this year. And in my mature age.

Yes, see, that's different. You experience what are you talking about? Like, I just want to stay at a different hotel. What? You know what I'm saying? No. No, we have to go. What do you mean?

We'll be there. No, but like we have to. I want to go to. I don't get what I'm putting down. They're acting dumb, but like we've already discussed where we're going to stay. Yeah, yeah. It's a good place It's a good place

Be in now Vegas It's just different being like born there Like living there than like obviously Oh I bet It kind of takes like the shine away from Yeah Because you're just so used to it Like I went to elementary school

Middle school high school Like right behind my house It's just straight desert Like I feel like I would never go To the strip And shit Not not from There is scorpions but not in my area

Yeah see that would make me tweak Not me See I heard Vegas is very similar Like I guess the real Vegas Not Strip Is very similar to like Arizona. Like that's what people kind of compared to. I'm not sure if you've been to Arizona.

Yeah, yeah, no, I have family there. But they say it's like off the strip is kind of similar to Arizona living. I guess. Nice. Yeah, all right. So give us the updates on the Huntsman's Challenger's lead playoffs that happens tonight. Okay, so be on the locale tonight, ladies and gentlemen. Yeah, so let me kick this off and then I'll bring you in towards the end, but

Huntsman are playing. Last time we spoke about Huntsman here, or at least I spoke about them, things were a bit up in the We struggled to qualify for the elite. It was definitely a lot more stressful than we would have liked. Fast forward till now, we are undefeated through group play and still undefeated in bracket play. And we're now in the winner's final against Project Notorious.

They just needed some time. That's it. They need to mesh. I remember I saw a clip. I was watching when you guys were talking about it. I don't know, but formal and like all of you guys are doing it. And Form was like, yeah, not really interested into anymore. It just kind of lost its flare.

Like he was like he was like hell of shooting on. I'm like, damn. And I get it because we barely call like, you know, nothing's ever going to, you know, top the first roster, this and that. You guys have so far. So far. Hey.

Hey. Dude. You know, that's fucking senpai right there. He gave you, he said what you needed to hear. Yeah. What we need is for y'all to call. Yep. And then we need y'all to get into Optic Texas pool.

That would be cinema. Optic Huntsman would be, I mean, I don't want that to happen. What do you mean? It would be bad for the brand. They're both going to make it out. It would be great for the brand. How?

How? Yeah. You think that... Oh, for the brand. Yeah. Like, just to see Optic versus Huntsman on the main stage. Optic's Academy. It's like Braun playing with Bronnie.

It's like... It's like one of those win-win situations where it's like... I plead the fifth. I'm rooting for both teams here. But just to circle back real quick, I mean, the most recent matches here, like the four fun matchup, which is against basically 10-year events, we're playing against Awakening, Mac, Gio, and Yuley.

It's a good team, great team, like to clutch up in game fives and continue that undefeated streak. So where we're at right now, so if you're watching today on Thursday, tonight we're going to be in the grand final or the losers' finals. So the way this, there's kind of two ways to qualify here. So we play yesterday, we played P7 in the winner's final. Notorious. P7 is auto-qualified because they won the challengers land. So if by any which way, if we're facing off against Pee,

P7 in the grand final, we qualify for the pro-am. If we're in the grand final not against P7, we have to win it. And if we're not in the grand final, God forbid, we didn't qualify. So basically a couple ways in. Either be in the final against P7 or beat whatever other team is in the final with us. And it's pretty crazy. I mean, some good teams left. Wait, so we played notorious.

We play them on Wednesday. No, yeah, tonight. This comes out Thursday. So yesterday now we played them. Yesterday I handed P7. belt, baby. Oh, please Hey, that's

the or again. That's right. I love that. I love that. Please don't age like milk. Hey, let's go out of one shot.

Smell so, let's go out of I said, smell so, so, no, I'm a bad. Bob,

Bob, he count. He's one shot on it. Oh, God! Oh, you only win when my controller

doesn't work. You only win, Vermont doesn't work. You only win when my control it doesn't work. Dami Claude. trash! Only you, my control it doesn't work. Terrible! Come on!

Please. I love that shoot, dude. We flew in Major Maniac, head coach, of course, to the Huntsman for this week. Obviously, a very important week. He wanted to be here with the boys, and we said, of course, get out, get over here. So, very, very fun week ahead. Fingers crossed, I mean, to see you boys on the main stage at Atlanta would be awesome. Yeah. It would be bliss, so. You guys have been killing it, man. Just got to keep it up. over yet. And then we got a team dinner Friday if things go well.

Yep. Seth, you're coming? Are you coming? Yeah, I'll come. It'd be an honor. Yeah, I'll come. It'd be an honor. For sure.

Hell yeah. Deal. Done. Let me guess. Let me guess. Downtown. Ah, dude, you know what I'm saying? Whatever happened to, what would happen to the club?

Yeah, what about that? What about the club? That sounds great. The club. Bro, I'll do whatever. I just want the group to eat well. Yeah, the kids are here. I know they have...

After the watch party, you stay. We just go an hour later. Magic City. What the heck? Magic City. I don't know about that kid. No, that was a joke. It was inside joke in me.

Oh, that's okay. Everyone's been to the strippy here. Yeah. No problem. It's inside joke you me and my duo scum. Yeah. I've been once or twice. You know Seth?

Magic City? A little bit of magic going on there. There's a lot of magic. How they doing that? I didn't even see this tweet. Yeah, Mike. W. Mike, man. W.

Don't you Mike, man. Overwarding. Yep. Yeah, no, it's, it is great to see. Like, again, you guys start off a little bit slow, but very slow. Yo, let me ask you something. Do you want to interrupt for two seconds? Yeah, go ahead.

Has he said his catchphrase to you guys? Mike? Yeah. Not that, I know. What's his catchphrase? It's never chalked? No, I don't know. That's got to be a meme at this point.

There's no way Mike's actually walking around saying it's never talking. Yeah, he's not. He should. He should say it like a superhero. Yeah. It's never chalked. Remember kids, that's how he should do it. It's never choked.

Like he's in the fantastic four. It's clobber in time. Yeah, it's never chocked. It's never chocked. But yeah, listen. Riley, before this podcast over, before this podcast over, remind me to talk about the two things

that I have to talk about. Okay. Where were we? So Huntsman, yeah, Huntsman, that's basically the Huntsman update. Things are going well. Hopefully things get a bit better. And then also in Challenders,

Bush just announced a second roster. The shrub. The shrub. I actually liked a name for that. The shrub. Yeah, I feel like it's like... It's R-City's Asim, Skill and Wevey. So they just have two?

So, Skill and Wevey just turned 18, like this week, or maybe one turns it 18 in a few days. So it's basically a team to get Skill and Wevey with them, and then try and put them around Asim and Arcee. Which one? Okay, I see. Skills are the first one and then Wevey all over the right. Yep.

I like the name, though. I feel like it's like unserious. The Shrub. Yeah, it's like unserious, but I feel like it's such a good playoff of the bush. Yeah. The Shrub. Yeah, no, I've been hearing about skill and Wevey for a while, so I'm curious to see how they develop.

I was playing against Wevey last year and Meal Team 6 S&D Chalice. He's pretty cracked, so I think... Yeah, I feel like I played him in... I think those two of a pretty good future ahead of him. I feel like I played him and ranked a lot last year. Probably. Definitely, yeah, probably. His name sounds very familiar. If you remove the R and use the R for reserves for the Bush, you can spell Bush with those... Yeah, yeah.

Did you ever play us? You can't? You ever play in the morning? Yeah. Do we slam your shoe? Nah, no, no. See, it's unfair because we were like four stacks I remember playing Neum

They're getting railed yesterday. They were talking about practice. I know. He's talking about practice. Then he starts thanking subs mid-map unmuted. During the scrimm. Bro. If you pull up the clip, this on my mother,

this is the thing I said, thank you, Jr. for the tier one. Two seconds. And it was dead quiet. It's after you guys lost overload to have 4-0. So your teammate, everyone's checked out. Imagine losing a strip bad, getting checked.

You're on stream. Everyone's kind of checking. And this guy's getting rewarded. And then you hear, yo, thanks for the tier one. No one's 10. No one's 10.

It depends on how like, if you're winning the screen and your vibe it, I'm like, how do you know that he didn't talk to the guys before? He's like, yo,

do you guys mind if I say thank you real quick? You don't know, you just as, and I see, I know, I actually want to talk about this. Okay, like serious,

like serious, like, you want to replace them as GM? No, this is something like I, I talked with Tom. Hold on. with who? Which time?

Zuma? With Zuma, yeah. It's something like, I just feel like as my GM because, bro, the chat's gonna be a chat. You know, whatever you say, the chat's gonna agree with. So when you're crashing out on me,

I didn't crash out at all. You didn't crash out, yeah, but when you're, but it was more of a negative, like, what's this idiot? You called him an idiot? I read the chat. No, it's fine.

It's fine. I don't care what he says, but it's more so. Whoa, he doesn't care what you fire him. Oh my God. Digging a hole, no, no, no. It's like the chat's gonna just feed off of what you say,

Catch you spammy. I'll always have your back when you're right. But just wait until after the map. Yeah, yeah. You don't want to be, once again, it's one of those things. Whoa, first of all. We got them out. If you're like, if you guys are, because the vibes are pretty low yesterday in Scrimms,

it was your guys, first time back. Brack came right from the airport. So you guys were trying to get back into flow. That they don't count. That's like the fucking get back into it off the plane. And I asked them about it too after. They're not feeding you? Hey, man.

He's getting fed. He came to eat it. He came to eat every day. He had a 2,000 calorie Wendy's meal. And I swear, he, like a swoop. You're usually talking, like, talking, smiling, trolling. I think he was, like, mute for 20 minutes, bro. He was just sitting there.

It was digesting. Pro, he got burger, nuggets of frosty, and fries, bro. That was good. I wish I could still eat like that. Actually, the difference now is when I was fat as fuck, I could eat like that, and it was my normal. Now, if I eat a meal like that, I feel it, like, way more than I would have felt it back then. That's age. telling you. You know what I'm saying? Well, it's also just my body.

Your metabolism. Used to that level of... But yeah, I walked past him. He's eating Wendy's singing the 100 point club song, just destroying a meal fit for a fucking king. I mean, dude, I'm telling you, 2,000 calories. That would have been an insane, awesome clip. If there was just a camera recording him eating Wendy's and singing the 100 point club song at his set up... And he wasn't like doing it to like be performative because I was out in the lobby. I just went to the bathroom and I was like walking back in. And I just hear him.

I'm like, there's no way you're saying, no. What if I went to high school? Like, I'd bully that kid, bro. Yeah, yeah. I'd shove him in the locker. I never thought that you would be a bully. I thought you would be a defender. You wouldn't be able to put, you wouldn't be able to move me.

Just joking. Dude, look at the back of my head. Look at Chance, bro. Chance? Where? Yeah, the back left. And then look at Simply Mike to the right. Oh my God.

Yeah, I didn't realize that was Mike. The times were so different. These are the best days, hoody. What college, Coladidi was that? You missed it. This was probably, ooh. NW3, I think? Yeah, that was probably the OG

Was it MW3? That had to, yeah, if I had that haircut, 100%. Nobody could touch that in that game. It was the first time, like, me and Natechot, it was like a pro-a-m-NJ Halo, and you had to pick up two pros, two amateurs, and Natechot picked up Zinn,

and that was like his first, his first big moment. And ever since then, they always told him that he's the new Nadeha. That's not exactly how it worked, but. Yeah, people are saying Zinn, he's the next Nade.

I'm the next fucking, Zinny. You're him. You know, I was, I was going to roast myself, but you know, you're the next Zinny, baby. Let me, let me speak positively about myself here. You're the next Zini, man. But, you know, that was... And then he got a little juice and forgot who was drinking water with it.

That is true. That's right, dude. He forgot who he was drinking water. Crazy. You know, it's crazy. I had Dreamhack last year whenever I was on the Stallions and I went... You blacklisted you? Bro. I'm saying what's up to everybody went to all nice? I see Zini. I'm like, yo, this was doing him. Like, did he even look at me like, yo, it's good, right? Like that. And this kid, like that. And this kid walking. He's lying. I'm not even showing, bro.

It was actually insane. You're lying. This is a lot of negative prop here in the morning I was in. Like I needed. I was like, I thought we were about having a combo and stuff. Like, it was our first time meeting and it was, what's good about it? Wait, was after the watch party?

No, it was before the one of the matches. Like, it was like intermission. Oh, then I was, I was at work. You didn't, I have to get back. I had to get back to the watch part. He's a GM, dude. I had to get back to the watch party. I probably had a lot going on.

Do you have his back? No, the thing is, you can't just fucking get the keys to the fucking city. You got to, you got to earn, it's like, what's up? What do you want to hug and shit? I was at work. I was at work. I would have liked to hug. You just got here.

You earn your shit. I was at work. You earn your stay here, dude. Yeah, I'll give them that. Whenever the watch party's in an event, it's like, you feel like you're so rushed to get back. He's probably had to take another shit. Well, because the bathrooms are far away, so you're already gone. There could have been so many reasons as to why I had to be quickly.

Yeah, yeah. But just know, it was all. Love. Okay. That's good. That gives me clarity now. Because I'm not allowed. Even to now, like this, we're a year and now later and I'm still thinking about it. So you can see how it affected me. That means I have. Silky loves scump and optic. I mean, we know that. Yo, Silky's the man. And murky? Love Silky. Murky. Lees? Silky's the man.

Yeah, that's kind of... Give me more for Dante. Ooh. Okay. Because Dante online, it's like when he plays a good team, he turns up. Uh-huh. Huh. I feel like that's freebie.

I see the way you move. You know, we got to go with the optic boys. Let's go. But can you go back to the other page where it combines them? I like, you know, little combo one-two-three. Yeah, I like the map one-through-three. Let's do some little combo action here. Huk, Merck, or Shotsie-Dashie?

They play a gentleman mate. Or three, Shotsie Hook plus dashy. Yeah, but I... You got to think about what maps they might play. They might play Colossus. Or you don't think about that stuff and you just pick what you're going to put. They might play a sake. Suckeye.

You know what? I'm not going to lie, man. I see him every. day in the lap grinding. I know what he brings to the table. Let's go with Huk and Merck. More. More. You have to say more. Oh, Huk and Merck more than

And I said, what? Like, just imagine me. Just pure shock. Like, what the fuck is this guy talking? The fuck is this guy talking about? No, she wasn't pregnant. Oh, no, yeah? No, this was a while ago.

It's like, what the fuck is he talking about? And I just like kind of look. I didn't know how to respond because I was like, okay who do a fuck told you because I never met him it's like you get pressed like that from someone you don't meet

I don't even know how to respond I always go with the virginity rocks but yeah he came up and then a year later it doesn't rock damn and a good batch by the way he's he's a strong man

yes dude that that land feels like forever ago yo fucking logos backwards we used to slap people for that it's not a gang man this shit's crazy What's not a game? It's not a game.

What do you mean? See, that's how you know you knew. Is this a new clip? You said it, bro. He said it, bro. Wait, this is a new clip. I'm here? I'm here.

Merchalise. Yeah, shout out to Silkie. Shout out to Silky. During major two of me and Mark for a bit. I thought, or no, it was me. Major one. It was major one. Yeah, when I wasn't there.

Yeah, yeah. It was, uh, Mark was me, Richie, and then, uh, Silky. Richie's fucking hilarious. That guy's funny. He's crazy. He goes, y'am matter. That is played time 64. He said, Jesus Christ, don't say that ever again out loud.

He goes, what? That might not bad for my first tournament. Like, man, that's not great. That's not great. Shouts out those boys, man. But yeah, the core, that shit's crazy how they, that whole situation. And they timed it right when Ricky dropped his new announcement too. So that means there's got to be some level of bad blood, right?

Oh, there's got to be some level of spite there. There has to be. You don't just, that's like you take someone else's announcement and just put a cap on. I like that. So what is it? Create own, or sorry, create own, run everything. Time out. Yeah, yeah, create own, run everything.

Go back, go back, go back. Go back. Shout out to congratulations to these guys. They're going to fucking kill it, obviously. Christopher Nolan's new movie owes its status as the first major film to be shot entirely on IMAX to the father of game award. legend G. F. Kili. That sentence... What was that mean?

Makes no fucking sense, Riley, and I just sort of short-circuited. They made a new type of camera, basically. Christopher Nolan did interstellar, right? Yeah, yeah. He is. The Legend of Time. The Dark Night. The Daily's on this film before we edited it.

And he had been my IMAX mentor for almost 20 years. And he's the guy who made so much of what we've done possible. And proud to say that he, before he passed, he was able to finish approving all of our last dailies and printing those. Jeff Keeley passed? We miss him greatly, but I'm thrilled.

Oh. Oh. Oh. I'm absolutely thrilled that he's memorialized in the name of this brand new camera, which is, it's, I mean, IMAX film is the highest quality imaging format that's ever been built. A brand new camera. Wow. Shout out, yeah, man, that's awesome.

That's sick. We won two game awards. We won an e-sports player of the year for Natchat, and then we won an esports team of the year, and then we didn't get invited the following year. Why not? Because Natchat was no longer on optic, man. Damn.

That was you guys like plug? Like your connection? Did he hit the end? Huh? He had the end? Game awards? Yeah, he said, hey, Jeff. Damn, that's actually dope.

So the actual camera is named after him? Yeah. And now I'm assuming, let's guess, let's all take a guess on how much an iMac's camera cost uh we'll start with you 150 250 230 okay swoody 500 grand i'm gonna say i'm gonna say i'm gonna say one million a million yeah yeah that's the very the brand newest camera like there's nothing newer than that yeah but look at it it's not aerodynamic at all yeah i mean 16 000 oh they rent them per week wait hold on oh my guys

exceeding $1 million. One million per unit. No. Like you do the whordle? Oh, so they cost a million and you, I'm assuming most people rent them for like. Yeah, people rent them. So that's a good investment. Seth, buy a couple and rent them out.

Yo, buy a couple for us. We use it for optic content and then whenever they need them. Why the fuck are you looking at me saying buy these for optics? Come on. Do you see who you're sitting next to? Why am I getting looking? We're all sitting next to you. It does enough for us.

He buys us dinner. You buy the on-max cameras. You buy the on-back. You buy the million-dollar thing. I'll buy dinner. I haven't had dinner. It's been a while since we've had a dinner. That's your fault.

This Friday, though, this Friday, we got dinner with the huntsman boys. I need to get out the house. Always in a house. I'm in house-boat. I tried to get you out. What you said, Riley? You didn't want. Yeah, Rogers's right there like that, holding that big-ass thing.

How famous do you think, this is a stupid question? Like Christopher Nolan walk around in Hollywood. He's, you know what I'm saying? He's... Do you people recognize? I don't really know, like, producers. I would recognize them. I would recognize Christopher Nolan.

Who was that guy? You know, I would recognize. Spilberg, I'd recognize. But like, I don't really know. I actually might not recognize Spielberg. See, yeah, it's like, I don't. Can I see what Spielberg looks like, please? Let me see if I'm bearded.

Yo, wasn't Spielberg walking around that one, Call of Duty tournament where, funny enough, Ron Jeremy was also there and Maven took a picture with Ron Jeremy? God, God, used to have so much motion. Did it Spielberg walking around? Spielberg was walking around. And Ron Jeremy? Apparently he wanted to direct the call of duty movie and they said no.

Spielberg, come on buddy, Stephen. Because he wanted creative control and they wouldn't give it to him. Yeah, Spielberg. We're not going to give the guy who brought E.T. Close encounters the third kind. If he directed the Call of Duty movie, oh, baby. But now it's Taylor Sheridan, I think. Oh, Taylor Sheridan's writing.

Peterberg is good and Taylor Sheridan. And I have quarrel with that Call of Duty movie coming out. Why have I been hit up yet for a cameo? Yeah, at the very least. Well, I'll just put me in two seconds. I look to the left. Boom, dead. Imagine if they had, imagine.

I'm fine with that. You're walking through and then the dynasty's having dinner like right there. You know what I'm saying? Like off center. That'd be cool. Just don't give me martyrdom. That cheap ass perk. Cheap ass perk.

Yeah, this guy's good. He once said some very not nice things. Okay, that's all right. Wait, he said some nice things about what? Video game players. This is the old him. How about people who play Barry Silverwant said taking a

movie? He's taking war videos He plays. Pathetic. Pathetic. Keyboard courage. Can't stand it. The only people that I give

Call of Duty credit to get out of jail free credit to the military. Of course, we all do too, Peter Berg. Obviously, we all do. Okay.

No, he's hating, bro. Some of them do, but I tell them I think it's pathetic. I think, yeah, why the fuck is he directing anything? I don't fuck with him no more. He said, get out.

Do something. It's weak. He called his week. And I'm a strong man. Fuck, Peter, but I'm a fan of him. Bring in Spielberg. I used to be a fan of him. Yeah, I beat the freak out of Peter.

I don't know about that. When did you said it comes out June 30th this year or next year? Yeah, the 2020. So we got enough time to campaign to remove them. Are you thinking of the Odyssey maybe? When is the Odyssey coming out? Well, you said the Call of Duty movie, remember on the watch party you roast me because I blacked out? Oh, wait, yeah.

So it was on June 30? It is June 30th, but it might be 2028. Okay. On your birthday. Hey, that's got to be something, right? That's got to be like some sort of thing. Hey, we have some great movies coming out, though. The Call of Duty movie, the first they're doing releases on my birthday.

I just, I'm curious, like... But the game is shit right now? Oh, man, I really hope they do right by this. Oh, my God, they just ended the... The... I hope Captain Price is in it. Because I wonder what... He has to be.

I wonder what soap, ghosts, like the house. Like, I wonder what story they're going to tell. Like, is it going to be from a specific game? Is it going to be, like, a brand new? just generalized call of duty I feel like it's not gonna be Call of Duty too

I'll tell you that I feel like the best version of like a movie they're probably gonna go with is one of like the more the newer campaigns

with like all the futuristic shit like I don't think they're gonna do like a saving private ride they're not doing the terminal scene no they're not maybe that's what maybe that's what they open with

if you want a shock what do they say in the elevator remember no Russian is that what they said yeah remember no Russian that's all they say that's all they say Jesus Christ

a swoot. Dude, growing up playing that. He's got that lore. He's got that lore. I have two older brothers, so I played all the campaigns with them. You know, what's crazy is like I've been playing called duty my whole life, obviously, and it's like, I just don't know the lore of Call of Duty. Like, I know, like, the major characters and players in it, but I don't know, like,

the actual lore. Yeah. Because I forget it. I got, there was one at the time where I knew it because I played it all, all the beginnings, but now it's just, I haven't played campaign in so long. Crossing the Rine. There's a few, like, the no Russian scene. I remember crawling through with the gilly suits and sniping.

I remember, I think a snowmobile maybe in Blackouts. A MDOP one. No, MW2, the snowmobile, where you jump over in the snow? Yeah, it's MW2. You know what mission I remember like really vividly for some weird reason? It's the mission in Call of Duty 2 when you're like going through the broken building. Do you know what I'm talking about? It's like block.

I didn't play Call Duty 2. I don't know why. Like Call Duty 2? I don't know if it was Cold Duty 2. It was one of like the very early ones like Big Red or. Maybe. No, like before that. Oh, I don't know. So, Call Duty 2 maybe.

Yeah, because that's like before I got into multiplayer, which I started in Cod 4. But I remember being a kid and playing that one specific mission for some reason. I forget what game. That's the last time I played any multi-play, or what do you call it? Story Mode and Call Duty was crossing the Ryan in Call Duty 2. I played the B-O-6 campaign. I haven't played a single campaign, not Call-Duty 4, not Call-Duty 3, not World at War, none of all. No.

World That War campaign is one of my favorite call duties of all day. Playing that one of my brothers was awesome. You know what to be cool going back and playing one of those campaigns? It's their fun. Just like not going hard, just go back play it. Do a marathon. I just don't know. I couldn't do a marathon campaign.

Because now you'll play for three minutes. I lose my mind. See notifications. You go back to it. You just want to play how you feel and then like. I could play a couple hours, but like if I'm sitting there for eight hours just grinding a campaign. You're not really enjoying it no more. I'd enjoy it for the first little bit and then I'd be like, okay, this is getting a little tedious.

Yeah, I feel like a little. It's kind of hard to build a good campaign now with TikTok brain era. It's like keeping people in it. Like it's got to be stimulating now. Dude, it's so hard. We talk about that a lot just like new games coming out, like new IPs that should catch some traction, but they like, they will at the start and then just completely drop off a cliff. Like split gate, man. It's so hard.

Dude, split gate's a big one. Like, I felt like split gate when I was playing the new one, I was like, yo, this is fire. Like, people are going to fuck with this. And then... I think the only game that's going to have guaranteed longevity is going to be, DTA 6. Yeah, that's guaranteed. Everything else, no matter how good you are,

I also feel like the cheating epidemic's not helping. Like with AI and all this stuff? Well, Art Graders. Like, Art Graders just got plowed because of their cheating epidemic. Arc Raiders was, like, actually one of the games that finally stuck. People were loving it. And then it's like, right when they hit their peak and everyone was loving it so much, cheaters come in and just destroy it.

And they also, I think they handled that terribly. Like, they were giving cheaters like three chances. They weren't, they wouldn't, like, ban them. One's enough. Send them to fucking jail. Yeah, no. We need to, we need to make jail time for cheating regular. Yeah.

Especially, see, what I never got is how people could cheat on like a CMG, for instance, where they're actually taking money from people. That's fraud. Fraud. That is literally fraud. You are cheating and you're taking money from someone else because you're cheating. Yeah. You know what's crazy is like with B-O-6 cheating and B-O-San like a rank play,

I feel like back in the day when people cheated, like, they would like keep, like they would hide it. Like, people don't care no more. Like, they literally will say, like, they're cheating, though, like... They'll have, like, number one cheater, 25K on TikTok? They'll blatantly cheat. They'll be live streaming, but, like, back in day, I feel like when people cheated,

they were like, you know, like, oh, I can't. Like, no one can't... Nowadays, when you call someone out for cheating, they're like, who me? They were like, what? There's a good mix now. Who me? I'm like, yes, you, motherfucker. They're like, you guys...

I know you're wallings. There's, like, a pool of people who rage hack and, like, make it obvious. And then you have, like, the new gen cheats, which is, like, AI, aim assist, like the controller, Krona stuff. So now it's like genuinely sometimes it's either someone's blatantly cheating or your suss of cheating. And then like as a streamer, of course

there's that group that blame us if you cheat, if you hack you use eight and I'm like dude, how can you blame us at this point? It is a riddle with cheaters. It's impossible and that's why I feel like if we talk about this all the fucking time, but it's like Call of Duty, I feel like it's so different from other games because in rank play, you want to go play rank, you want to

know your rank. And in Call of Duty with all the cheaters, you could be a lower rank than you are and think that like oh maybe this is my rank but you genuinely don't know and I feel like that alone just takes away from the entire experience my hunch is that because it's like they can't stop it obviously you could be genuson the whole time you could be an e rank but you're actually s rank like down because of your mana like they literally just can't well I think with the like new AI stuff like I feel like it's adapting so quick that they have and call duties in that weird like valerant I think valerent and riot games are like the only games that do it well because I think it's pretty invasive in your PC but yeah you have to restart

your PC like but like that's if you're going to play competitive you're okay with that but for cod we i we had to secure boot yeah secure boot and i remember dude i had to go through lengths to be able to play the new cod i had to fucking i remember i had to get a flash drive and i've never done this so this is like hard for me i've never done this pc shit had to get a flash drive get new drivers put download them onto the flash drive, go into my BIOS, import that key, and then it worked,

and I was like, bro, I have to go to these lengths just to play, and then it still happens. Yeah. And it's happening on console now, which is even, that's even,

that's the worst fate ever, because now the one safe place is now tainted. Because it was like, okay, there's cheaters, just go play on PS5. Now it's like,

nope. But I think it's like an industry-wide thing. Like, I heard Rocket League is really bad right now with cheaters. How do you cheat in a rocket league? like AI can control the car, and it's making the perfect move every single time. Wow.

So that's insane. It's absurd, bro. It's like that weird thing where I just wish there was a way, like, I understand call duty standpoint, like if you play casually, you're not going to want to download invasive stuff. I get that. But I wish it was a way, like if you go to rank play, then you could download that stuff, like Valorant level.

Because then if you want to play rank play, most people, unless you're a half, you're a would be okay with that. But didn't everybody already do that? They already did it. They had to. No, I don't think so. Secure Boots did, like... They turned it off?

No, but I think Valerans is just like... It's the only game I know where you get fucking banned in an hour 100% if you're cheating. Yeah. Like, they're pretty... It's pretty there. And then every other game, I think, struggles. CS has cheaters. Like, that's why people play the third party stuff, like, face it.

What scares me is that these people walk amongst us. Yeah. Like, we cross paths in the grocery store. At events. Judging by the numbers. At events, we're probably meeting like 30 hackers. Think about watch party viewership. Think about how many cheaters are watching the watch party in real time as we speak about them.

I feel like it's like a- There's a cheater watching right now. It's like one of those. Oh, there's a lot of cheaters. Oh, there's a lot of cheaters. It's like one of those things where they compartmentalize it. They know they're cheating, but they actually, it becomes their reality. So they start to think they're good, but they're cheating. And they like can't come to grips with it.

It's like one of those. Yeah. Really? You think it's like a minute? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like they cheat, but they're like, it doesn't really.

register that they're cheating. What? You think it's... Yes. It's like a secret personality. Yes. Yes. Because they like the praise and they're seeking that praise like, fuck you do. Like imagine whenever you get shit, it's often ranked and you know the kid's cheating. That's good.

He actually thinks that he's better than you. Yeah. That's awesome. I'm telling you. I just don't see like them living like a normal life. Like people that cheat. Like I don't see them like they cheat like for 10 hours of day. They go have dinner with their family.

They do. I don't see. I don't, I can't see. I don't. I can't see that. I don't see that. They sit in front of their kids and they're like, man, if you only knew you your dad was a cheater. Yeah. Gotta be dope.

And I'm not talking about cheating on your mom. So I'm talking about something way less. Yeah. So way less fucking important. Yeah. Just dope. There's no rushing all the cheaters, man. No.

No. Yeah. Yeah. You like that one. You don't know how far they're going to go. Anyway, ladies and gentlemen, that is going to do it for this episode. A couple of announcements before we go. Idiots.

Episode one is live. Season 4. Mexico City. Wait. Chat GPT randomly turned into some fun. Oh, yeah. Let's do that. Let's do that real quick. Sorry, sorry.

I want to see this. Wait. Randomly became a Sethless talk about goblins to the point where it turned, started ruining the chatbot for users. An emergency anti-goblin patch was recently released that told Chad to stop talking about goblins and the other creatures unprompted. Hmm. What? It's starting to fall in love with goblins, bro? Question.

Is Chad GPT a yes, man? Because I was eavesdropping at dinner in Toronto on the table and now. We're like, chat GPT is a yes man. And now that I think about it, whenever I talk to Chad GPT, it is pretty assuring. There is a setting that you have to put in on the back end that tells it essentially to not hallucinate and to not make up, you know, to only go off of facts. That's why it has to, it gives you inference sort of like notifications before it gives you the actual response. And what is this pubity? Pubity.

You don't heard of puberty? No, what the hell is puberty? This is a big account. Just post random world things. Yeah. I just didn't get the scump one. Thank you, Riley. Inside joke didn't...

Yeah. Good one. That was a whoosh for sure. Whatever that. What is that crime YouTube channel solves a cold case from 1984? Oh wait. I love this.

Wasn't there a documentary made about this? It was like a bunch of people got together? Crime YouTube channel Explore with us helped solve the 1984 cold murder case of Lisa and Carnes. EWU funded DNA testing that led to the of 76 year old George E. Bradfield. Damn, this guy's like, fuck, I'm 76. I almost got

away with it, and now you come knocking? Yeah, but I don't know what I would do. Go to jail? You go out firing? Josh Incognition. No, I would fire myself. Oh, gotcha. You can't be, you can't kill people, man.

Yeah, I think they made like a self-defense, of course, but just as a predator, fuck you. I think they made a doc about that. It was like a bunch of people. They had like forms and shit on Facebook. It might be a different, it might be a different case. But yeah, they all got together and got to to the bottom of it. It's crazy.

Well, anyway, this... They solved the, uh, the zodiac killer case, didn't they? Like, pretty... Yeah. Well, no, it's no idea. It's, like, they think they solved it. Yeah. It's like impossible, I think, to confirm it right now. But they're pretty close to saying this guy might have been in it. I think he's dead now.

Yeah. So it's like, can't really... Yeah. I've always been obsessed, not obsessed, but interested in the Zodiac. Good movie. That's like... Jake Jilling. Helaela. Lee.

Jake Jelen Hall's the man. They got the new 2V2 series I see optics doing with the, we're playing from different call of duties. Yeah. Yeah, every Monday. Every Monday, every cut ever. We didn't see the Call Duty 2 one though. I don't know what we started on Call Duty 4 only.

Oh, Dity 4. Gosh, man. So it's how I know these kids don't know shit about Call of Duty. And by kids, I mean, our people here. And we're saying, wow, this game's awful. To which God? Cod 4. Well, yeah, playing it now.
