I'm like, Seth, you don't find it, like, at least like a little bit, like, mega cool that two of jazz players came over to say hi. He's like, yeah, it's cool, but I just like don't know how to act or don't know how to react to that. I don't think scum even. Realize that he's scum? Bro, I'll go on like the most random people's Instagram. I'm talking about, bro, like, NBA legends, all the time. Like they're following. They're following scum.

Yeah. I'm not following him back. He don't even know. He don't even know. Like, that's crazy, bro. Welcome. Welcome, welcome to episode number seven hundred. 120, oh, 72 of the Optic Podcast.

Today's sponsors is Honey, MasterWorks, and Upstart, and I'll tell you a little bit more about them later in the podcast. We have our usual co-holtz. We have a man, Money Biscuit to my left. We have my man, My Armano de Colombia. Oh, maybe. El Superestan. You guys ever heard of Jay Balden?

More famous than him. My brother, Sebas, Beron. And of course, Mr. Matthew formal. Hyper. What's up, everybody? Happy 420, everyone. I'm not saying we did. I'm not saying that we know, actually I am saying that we didn't. We're pretending. Pan de Riva. Ponday, Pa. Anyway, wanted to start out by saying thank you for joining us, man. I know that since you joined Optic, you haven't really had a chance to, you know, be around and be in all the content, right? You fly in once a month and, you know, content like that gets lost in the sauce. It gets lost in the metaverse.

So now that you're here, we had to take advantage. I'm excited, man. And I'm actually looking to moving out here, bro. Yeah. We're looking at places and we looked at some apartments that we liked. And by June, hopefully, we'll be here full time. Full time. Full time.

A full time member of Optic in the house, just chilling, viving, relaxing. Formal's out here. What are you doing, man? Who are you talking to? Honeys? Which? Which one is my question? Which one of this, dude?

I wish. I was totally putting in a food order. Just as important if I do say so myself. All right, so the Optic Valorant team advances to winners finals for Valorant Masters in Reykjavik. You know how mad I am that I wasn't able to go with them to Iceland? That's a crazy simulation. Why? Like, I mean, like, I'm going to Kansas City next week, right?

But they just went to Iceland. So that's two completely different worlds. I don't know. I wish, I don't know. Yeah, you don't see Kansas City any of its landmarks on Apple TV. Right? But the Apple TV screensaver, you definitely see Iceland. You only see Iceland.

Yeah. It's just a rural, like almost uninhabited area. I don't even see animals in the picture. I saw people posting photos. I was like, damn. It's crazy? Yeah. Bro, you know what?

Is Iceland that big for e-sports that they're hosting a tournament there? No, but look, you can see Aurora Borealis. from here. That's beautiful. Look at that, man. It makes his point even better, though, because, like, yeah. There's an e-sports arena over there, like, in the middle of the snow? Yeah, because Gamer's hands don't need to be warm at all.

Look, if you were to tell me, like, what does my days look like from the age of 60-plus? I'm in the mountains. Well, with or without Jude. You don't see clouds. I'm serious. I'm serious. I told her, I'm like, baby, if you don't like the mountains, she's going to have to figure something out. because Papa is definitely spending his wonder years up in the mountains,

you know, with the mountain lions, with the bears. Think about this, right? And the traders. I always think about this. I always think about this because I'm older. And I always think I'm like, man, do I want to lie bedridden? Do I want to die bedridden of some fucking illness? Or do I want to die fighting a bear?

And I'm like, I'm going to fight a bear. It's going to hurt just as bad. It'll be quicker. And I'm a legend because I fought a bear. What do you think? But you died in the process. Yeah, but I was not die of cancer or whatever fucking other thing I'm getting at 103 years old. He's like, yo, it's like, imagine my fucking Wiki page.

Imagine my Wiki page, right? Like, it's like Hector Rodriguez, born in El Paso, lived in Juarez, died. Died in the year fucking 2075. And it says like, why. It says he won a bear. One v. one to bear. Who had just beaten a gorilla. And one, but he bled out.

Yeah. Yeah. He died from internal. Yes. Yes, see my story just keeps getting better How would you like to go? Um, just

He's like, what the fuck? I don't want to talk about that. Just like 1001 and just not wake up one day. Yeah, oh, you want to die in sleep? Yeah. I think everybody's trying to make it to one-on-one? I mean, I'd like to cross the 100 line. That'd be ideal.

Do I think it's going to happen? No, it's probably not. I think, for me, technology keeps getting better day by day. Okay, that's, yeah. I'm going to have like a fucking plastic, plastic long. Time travel? It's just Walmart on the outside of it, right?

Because it's a bag and it works somehow. It's like a disposable. It's like a nanotechnology of sorts. Oh my God, imagine? Imagine. I was actually, I got a TikTok fed to me last night as I was lying there fucking shivering and my cold sweats. It was it was the top of a pyramid that had engravings in it. And they're like, like you see this stone here, this marb made a marble of some other stone and it's got like perfect carvings.

And they're like, yo. Today we don't have the technology to be able to do that. Do you, like, how do you think they made it? If we don't have the technology today, as 2021-year-olds A.D. after the death of Christ, got risen. That's a good point. How did they do it back then? Because they had aliens help them?

Aliens for sure. Aliens came down and just pushed them along a little bit. Yeah. So you're taking way too long. I mean, bro, yeah, that's kind of crazy to think about. Yeah. how they did that back when we barely had any

we didn't have anything no we barely knew how to when was the wheel oh yeah way before then the construction of the pyramids is like bizarre yeah like it's just it's just it's just bizarre like how do they do that here's some more fucked up

fact is that they all align right with other pyramids in complete other places like Maddie bring them When the pyramids were built? Is it like for like the constellations or some trade? Like stars or something?

Yeah, that's what they did. Yeah, it's constellations. But to have them like who was studying astronomy. How are they constructing them? How long were those taking to build, dude? How many people do they have working on that thing? I know what they look like, Matt. Let me see when they were built.

Why is Elon Musk next to them? Of course Elon Musk is there. Dude, Elon Musk is actually crazy. Dude, I was not going to brand him about this? Bro, Elon Musk right now is like trying to save humanity. Yeah. Like he's living out of movies. right now where he's thinking like he's gonna go to Mars and he's gonna be like guys come

with me like it's all good now I have a thing we can live there yeah he's trying to like he's like trying to save humanity you know some reason I'm confident that he will do that that's insane to me I'm confident in him too I feel like if anyone could do it it's him yeah yeah I feel like he's not gonna this right like he's like oh man there's we're polluting the the earth too much let me let me create electric vehicles right and then shit posting on Twitter's out of hand let me buy Twitter you know not kidding I'm kidding that one But, like, if you see him on the Joe Rogan podcast when he's talking about AI, like he, I see a pain in him.

Like, he's nervous. Like, he's nervous. He's seen how this movie unfolds. Exactly, yeah. He knows the end of this movie. He's just, like, very concerned about it. And he's like, no, we got to get the fuck out of here. I will sell all my money.

You guys and have all my money. I'm gone. I'm going to Mars. Yeah. I have a bunch of Mars dollars. Yeah. But you guys don't have all my shit. Here, take all my stock.

They would have to come up with, like, a brand-need, like, yo, let me ask you this. Matt, how big is the, is the circumference of Earth and then the circumference of Mars because I'm sitting here talking about Mars I had this imagination of like

Elon Musk is out there right on Mars like Dr. Manhattan He's on Mars. He's on Mars literally because it's 420 I watched the movie recently Which one? The Martian? The Watchman The Watchman, yeah yeah so obviously like my question is like

Is Elon going to be out there like watching Earth burn? Yeah I think he is And we'll like, does he have, like, can, because we can barely see Mars. Like, we see it shines, but we can't see whether or not it's like, uh, you know what I mean? He's going to be sitting there eating like a Mars Hershey's bar. No. And just fucking, like he's going to be eating a Mars bar. No, it's a Truman bar.

I'm not talking about you. I was talking about fucking Elon. Oh, yeah. In this world, like he'd be out of Mars. He's on Mars and he's like watching like, mute school off. Mars is 40,000. Wait, it was 40,000? I knew the Earth was 40, I was going to say it, but it wasn't sound stupid.

Did you? I was going to say 43,000. But I was like, nah, is that faded? 43,000 kilometers. Okay, so Mars is like half, kind of. Yeah. So. Yeah, it's like a little mini side project for Elon.

Yeah, but like we see it as a start. We won't be able to see it if we're on Mars looking at Earth crack and crackle. If I had Elon's money and I was looking at this graph, if the rolls were reverse and say we were smaller than Mars, I wouldn't even like attempt to go there because it looks like such a hard task to tackle. Yeah. Because it looks like it's like no bigger than our moon. I'd be like, I could do that. Yeah. It's just like a huge plot of land at that point

As long as you make the air breathe-bair Barren land is like 100% of it It's just like but it's like all like unexplored Well yeah it's all yours Yeah I guess I guess like there's maybe a city's worth Maybe a small suburb's worth of like Basis and shit on Mars

Or am I talking shit? I don't think there's any bases There's rovers There's rovers that are taking pictures of shit Yeah like 4K photos are pretty cool There might be like a base or two They never just like release like the good stuff though ever like you'll get 4k photos I want to see a motherfucker rolling around picking up

rocks I'm trying to see a live stream yeah yeah that's on 24 seven that's on 24-7 yeah because you know what I'm saying like because like at that point then if anything happens like you live stream me from the Mars though that's hard that's crazy which which which which brings me oh shit you're right but but he has the freaking satellites with the internet wait the satellite should be just as close to like or no because what if you give it a satellite oh my god well I bet you Elon is smart enough to like send a, send a, a fucking satellite to here. And then a second one.

Why? What I'm saying? No, no. And then a second one and a third one until like chain connect. Yeah. Yeah. But then again, you'll be connected to Earth, which is where AI is sort of evolving. And then AI will follow him through the satellite.

It's two Mars. Yeah. It's like, it's like, surprise. Surprise, motherfucker. You know what I mean? Did you picture like the end project of Elon in Mars? Yeah. A whole bunch of Tesla's everywhere.

How would buildings look? Everything's Tesla. Everything would be so easy to work. Like all the doors would be automatic. Yeah. Like so, so like, yeah, everything would have like a roundish feel to it. It's like every time you cook your, your oven meal with your Tesla microwave, it gives you a Bitcoin. You just take it out.

It's your daily coin. Gives you an NFC. It's like, yeah, welcome. All right. So the next match is in April 22nd against Loud, which is from Brazil. And apparently, apparently, apparently. Not apparently, definitely. We're the last North American slash European team out there.

Like there's no more. There's no more European teams. It's just NA versus Brazil versus some Asian teams. Interesting. Who's the dominant region? Huh? Who's the dominant region? I would probably say Europe because obviously of the talent that they have their...

Is that they won champs? Ascend? Ascend? Wait, when did they win champs? I'm pretty sure they won the most recent valerant champs. I don't know. Matt, can you look that up? the most recent valour and champs i don't know i'm pretty sure i send one it was like uh six months ago

yeah but i don't know because we're in a new season now yeah we're in the new season and last oh oh oh yeah yeah ascend and where are they from at click on that i think they're from europe uh send is european yeah germany yeah europe yeah so they are the the most dominant uh they're the best halo team as well in europe what that's like europe's best in halo assent they run shit over there oh so oh they have i thought you meant that also in halo they have the most dominant teams. They have the most dominant European team.

Yeah. Yeah. They're pretty good. Very cool. Ascent. Cool name. All right. So obviously we play Friday,

so everybody needs to be on their toes. We need to be watching. We need to be supporting. We need to be on top of that. Halo wins the face invitational. Matt. Congratulations. Thanks.

Thanks, guys. Your first of many to come championships in HALA? Guess we'll see. Do you, obviously land is important more important than online but you know this from what I was watching it seemed like a very competitive

everyone was going hard as fuck this is like the prize pool was like half of what a land is so like you're going hard it was 10K for first and like we don't have any tournaments like so everyone was kind of like hungry as fuck to like play at this thing you know from what I know I mean all the top teams were going hard

so it was really good practice too and I like it was a good like it was good to see where we we're kind of at right now. Like, and we obviously, we won the tournament,

but we made a lot of mistakes as well, so we still got to fix up a bunch of shit. But, yeah, it's all, it's a process. Yeah, 10K each is definitely go hard worthy. Oh,

hell yeah. Hell yeah. Oh, yeah. 10K for days of work and having fun playing fucking things. Yeah, hell yeah. Obviously,

can't beat that. No, you can. And also, obviously, the pride that you get from fucking winning a tournament. Like,

that's also very, it made me, it made me, like, realize that I don't try it all in scrams. Like, it made me realize that I'm like scamming a lot in scrimms. Because when I was playing the tournament, I was like,

and I remember thinking like before the tournament, because that was the first time I played with the team. So I was like thinking like scrimming on and like, thinking I'm like, I'm scamming and shit. But then like I play the tournament, I'm like, okay, yeah, this is how I play a tournament, you know? Like I'm not like throwing deaths away randomly. Yeah.

And like, I don't know. It's, I'm kind of like trying to, I've been thinking about it a lot recently. Like, um, how come I can't tap into that level of trying whenever I want? Yeah. It's like only in tournaments can I go to that level of trying. Yeah. Well, that's good.

I mean, listen, keep it, keep it there, you know? It's not good, yeah. You don't think it's a good thing? I'm saying, I'm saying I can't tap into it unless I'm in a tournament. How come I can't do it for practice? Yeah, well, I mean, because I'll get better practice then, no? Yeah, but you were also gave your opponents higher, higher, higher test. It will elevate them to your level.

I was saying that to my chat. I was like, do you think other teams get used to me scamming? And then we get to a match, I'm not scamming, and they're kind of confused. Yeah. Yeah, and I was like, yeah, that definitely is the thing. So who knows. That's what I mean. I mean, as long as it comes out when it needs to come out.

Yeah, I mean, fuck it. Get the job done. Yeah. But yeah, it was a really fun tournament, Jee-Gs. We got Casey next week, so it should be a fun time. Yeah. Hilarious Wars on Bug literally turns a player's head into a gun. Have you seen that?

I was wondering. I haven't seen it. No. Holy shit. Wait, what happened? Like this guy. Wait, a shot him from the head? Wait, what?

Oh, it swapped. So the head is the gun and the gun is the head. Oh my God, I'm so checked. Wait, wait, wait. So checked. What the fuck? Yeah, so like... I hadn't seen this before.

He's shooting with the head and then the gun became his head. It just swapped. The algorithm in that metaverse, swapped the heads. Dogged your head. Dogged the head. All right, Maddie, thank you for that. guy buys an F.

$2.9 million asked for $48 million and it suffered $3,600. So the person that bought Jack Dorsey's tweet from Twitter, his first tweet ever on Twitter turned it into an NFT

and sold it for $2. Somebody bought it for $2.9 million. Jesus Christ. So the second then Elon made the announcement that he was going to buy out all of Twitter, this person thought that

now is the time to get a massive return on my investment. That's what? That's 20x. 2.9 to 48? Yeah. Think about it, right? Sheesh. Damn.

It's insane. So what happens? He puts it up for $48 million, which is how many eth? Or what was the, I don't want to know how many eth that is. I want to know how, yeah, guy by $17,000, $2 million. Anyway, I guess it doesn't matter. But at the end of the day, he put it up for sale again. And guess what?

Somebody offered him $3,600 for it. $3,600.600. But like, why is that news? Like, what do you get that number from that he listed at $48 million? That's crazy. Yeah. But why did he get lowball so hard? Because nobody wanted it.

So did he settle for that price? And that's why it's public? No. Because I'm sure there's bids going off. No, the bits are public because it's on the, it's on $19. Someone's always asking and then just said, I think it's worth $36,000. The highest somebody was willing to pay for that was, 3,600 bucks.

Oh, so you're saying he lost like $2.7 million. I would have bought that for like 10K if he would have accepted. But not 2.8. But not 2.8 fucking, not 2.8. Not 48, no. Not 48 for sure.

Holy shit. Yeah. No, no, no. I just couldn't. So Cina Estavi is a crypto entrepreneur who last year bought the digital token representing Twitter founder Jack Dorsey's first tweet ever.

He paid $2.9 million for it. And this month saw it make a you know a a good turn on his investment putting it up for auction with an expectation with an expectation that it could lead him to 48 million dollars it did not it's 3,600 bucks I just I just how many eth is that 10.3 oh yeah yeah so right now it's for it's going for 31,000 what Ethereum yeah so 10.3 Eith which is 31 31,000 six hundred fifty three Yeah, so it did go up from that.

Still, you know, $31,000 is still not 2.9 or 3 mil or, you know, something that brings him back a little bit of profit. Right. Yeah. Not even close. No, not even close. So, Samas, we're going to go on a quick commercial break. Then when we get back, we'll talk about, you know, you, how you got here. And we'll tell you a little bit of your story.

Down. Let's do it. Let's go. The reason the guys are wearing sunglasses in this podcast is because your beauty is so bright that they had to. shelter their eyes.

They're heavy into alternative investment like gold. in real estate. Our listeners with crypto should be getting very excited because one alternative these billionaires have in spades that's been impossible for people to acquire. I'm talking about fine art. But now anyone can get a piece of the art market because there is a platform

called Masterworks that enables you to buy shares of paintings from legendary artists. This share structure means you can get all the upside of art as an investment without the high costs. I don't know why this wasn't a thing earlier because it is brilliant. Like I said, all the crypto guys out there, you might be really interested in this. Our listeners get priority access to skip Masterworks waitlist. Just go to masterworks.dart slash optic. That's masterworks. dot art slash optic. Thank you guys. Now let's get back to the podcast. And we are back in the commercial break while reading the ads. Bowles asked me if I would sell anything. on that art, well, on the wall collectibles,

because Seba has tried to go get some water and knock down my cowboy's helmet, which is fine, right? It's a helmet. It's made for impact. But then I was like, yo, that's priceless. Would I sell something? Yeah, for some stuff, I would. But it had to be for the right price. You know what I mean? Like, I wouldn't, like that Lama cost me $1,000,

but I wouldn't sell for 10K. I don't know if I would sell it for a buck 20. I don't know. I just feel like everything. in here has like a story like it has an emotional connection to it and it's like it just makes it worth that much more to you yeah yeah yeah i don't know maybe i'm talking shit i will sell for 120 000 yeah i mean i hope so would you would just would you look at me differently if i said no to a buck 20 i'd just be like why damn that lama has a lot of value either that or i don't even

play fortnight anymore either that or my boy's about to get up out of here real soon All right. All right. All right. So Seva, tell us a little bit about you, man. Where were you from? Give us a rundown. I think my story goes back all the way. Well, I was born in Columbia. Uh-huh. And what city? Cali. Cali, Columbia. I was born there. And my parents split when I was five. And my dad came here to move. He moved here. And I stayed living with my mom. When I was like 11, 12, I moved to Miami. to club 11 in Miami I wish

13 year old 7 13 years old partying but I moved to Miami Not a word of English So I was like in sixth grade How old were you like 12? I was like 11 12 Yeah and not a word of English

I was all in all East Hall classes ESL yeah English as a second language And Which Which kind of was obviously helped But also the fact that like even in Esau, I was the kid that spoke the least English. I was always picking up words from everyone else that spoke it.

But yeah, fast forward. Three years, something happened that completely changed my life. And, you know, my dad passed away. Oh, man. You know, he had an accident. He used to pressure clean roofs, and he fell. And I had to make crazy decision. You know, I already had friends here.

I already picked up the language. I was already playing soccer, like doing well in school, and then now I'm here by myself. Yeah. It's like my mom's in Columbia. And at that point, I was a resident. So like if I moved back, I wouldn't have been able to come back to the States.

Yeah, yeah. So I stayed, man. I stayed. I moved in with some friends, and I went back home first for like a few months, just a kind of grief and stuff. And then I moved back. I moved in with some friends and got a job. Eventually.

Well, I got, I was like, had a lot of jobs. I worked that as a waiter. I worked at advanced auto parts, like replacing batteries. Yeah. I worked that guests, like in clothing store. Yeah. I worked at Hagenaws, scooping ice cream. Yeah, okay.

Don't give me all the jobs. Yeah, I worked a lot. Well, anyway, after that, I got like a job at the bank. Uh-huh. I killed my interview. Dude, are you fucking, you're telling my story. Yeah. Like, word for war.

Really? I was 13 years old. I worked a bunch of jobs. I worked at a bank. Nice. So, yeah, I mean, I was able to land a job of the bank, and I was a banker. I was like 19.

Teller. And. A teller, right? No, a banker. Oh, banking. A starting. Like selling CDs and shit? Selling.

No, I wasn't like the one doing CDs, but I was doing like debit card replacements, like opening up checking accounts. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like the first person you see. when you go in. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

That's a crazy simulation. I worked at the bank for about eight years. I went from, you know, a banker. Then, like, I got my license. And you were tatted like that? No. Oh, okay. I mean, I had a sleeve towards the end, but not my hand or my neck or anything.

But towards the end, I was working in wealth management. And I was handling accounts out over a million dollars and learned about the stock market and stuff. And then COVID hit. Mm. I've always liked video games. Like when I was on my friend's house, I played a lot of Halo 3. That was kind of like the first game that I really grinded, played a lot of FIFA. Just always in love with video games, I was always good at it.

But when I was like working and trying to like figure my life out, I always saw it as a distraction. I was always like, oh, you know, it's taken away from me grinding my job or going to the gym or like I never saw it as like a career. But then COVID hit. and I was home getting paid nothing new gyms closed so I bought a PC and I started gaming

and making videos on TikTok and just creating content What made you make videos Like where did that thought come from Were you consuming contents on YouTube already Or when I was at the bank I wore a suit every day And I was into like fashion

So I took a lot of pictures and stuff For Instagram and then just started Making videos of like Just limp sync and stuff On TikTok that was going viral So you were dancing and shit Yeah yeah yeah I kind of tip the fuck

Well, more like salsa and like Spanish music. Oh, okay, okay. Bacjata and like, yeah, I love to dance. So I was making videos like that online, and we went from like zero to 500K in like three months on TikTok. Jesus, nuts. Yeah.

And then COVID hit, and I already had like an audience on TikTok. So I bought a PC and I started creating gaming content. And that took off. Yeah. For like two months, everything was closed and the bank opened back up. And I was already like gaming. This was going well.

I was getting a little bit of an audience. I was streaming on Twitch. I had like a thousand subs. Now you're at a fork in the road. And now I was like, damn, I'm back in the bank. Wait, so you did go back to the bank? Yeah, I went back. I went back.

I was while when I started. Had you monetized your contents up until that point? Yeah, yeah. I had like a thousand subs on Twitch. Oh, okay, okay. And I had like 500, like 700K on my personal page on TikTok. And it was like 200K on my gaming page. And it was like taken off.

Yeah. But now I was back in the bank, nine to five. And I was like, damn. Like, what if I just like, you? all this time to go full time but it was just so hard because like I've been there for so long I was in such a good position I was making a lot of money yeah and um I was kind of just clocked out after I went back so I was like there but not there every time I was there I was looking at videos on how to edit or like how to do like people switch streams how do I make my streams better

and like just figuring all that stuff out and I dragged it along for like another four or five months And then I went full time. I left the bank. And in that point, I was already in like- What did you tell your banking manager and stuff? So my, I was really close to my manager and I already knew, like, some of the guys that had been my managers were already, like, district managers,

and I had just been there for so long that, like, I knew everyone. But my manager, I told, even before I, like, left, I told him, I'm like, hey, man, like, I'm going to leave, bro. Like, I really think this is what I'm going to do. And I told my family first. I told my grandmother, my mom, and I'm like, hey, you know, I'm thinking of doing this full time. And they're like, you're crazy. You leave the bank, like your corner office in Miami.

And I'm like, yeah, I think I am. Like, what happened to your retirement and, like, your future? Like, what if it doesn't work out? And I'm like, well, if it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out. But, like, right now, I have a lot of friends that are in the industry trying to make it happen as well. And if I don't do this and in like five years, all those guys make it happen. I don't. I'm just going to live the rest of my life in reverse.

regret. So like, I might as well just do it. Like I got and I just like stop listening to my family or whatever anyone else had to say about not doing it. Yeah. And I did it, bro. And I just. And it was January 1st. Yeah. Who's the who's the who have you played? Who has who have you played with? Like what has gaming giving you the opportunity to do that you had like never thought you could. Hamas Rodriguez has to be up there. Right. Oh, 100%. I think out of TikTok, uh, I got a DM on TikTok. Uh, and this was like the first person I ever played with. And it was Chicharito. Yeah.

And I think, you know, I've always, I'll always have a lot of love for... Bring up Chicharito. For the Mexican community. Because both in my personal page and my gaming page, the first Latino community that supported me was Mexico. Yeah. And it was like 27% of my followers were Mexican. Yeah.

So it was crazy. We love to consume content on the internet. That's a fact. And so that was the first. first person I played with and he's a freaking Mexican legend. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, comes from a legendary family also who also competed. All right, so how did, what do you say? Like, what does that reach out? He's like, hey, I love your content. Like, we'd love to play with you sometime. And then he raided me on Twitch. Yeah. And then after that, like, I reached, I reached

out to him and I was like, hey, like, when do you want to make this happen? And we ended up playing. Who else have you played with? That's a notable. So after him, we did some cool with Postie. That was pretty cool. Post Malone. Yeah. Post Malone. Um, and. and then Hamas Rodriguez. And once I played with Hamas, he just kept inviting, like, the rest of the Colombian national team that plays the words on.

So I've played with, like, six or seven of the guys that are on the Colombian international team. Bro, I'm going to tell you something. And this is what is, we're going to make a transition here. Seth, so here's what happened. I got a call on Monday, on Friday, and a text from this dude that I met last year. He said, yo, I got a call.

court side tickets for Saturday and I got court side tickets for Monday do you want to come to any of the games and I'm like he's like man Monday works better for me he's like oh cool that's cool that's better now you can bring two people with you and I'm like I'm like all right who who do you like do you have anybody out of my team that you like to hang out with he's like T2P so I was like all right so I fucking hit up a formal and uh and Seth huh I knew me and ready were talking about that and I was like literally said that exact line I was like bull like if It was me and Seth, and maybe he was like a T2P, like, fan.

Yeah. That's what I said to Brennan. Yeah. Because, yeah, I ended up giving him my ticket to Brandon. Yeah. So that, so I hit him up in formal,

the, the class, the gentleman that he is, as, you know what? I think Brandon would enjoy that more because he is a fucking basketball fanatic. He was also his birthday.

It was also his birthday. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But Brandon is like a basketball fanatic. He can shoot for shit. Can't dribble for fuck, right? But, but he can definitely watch.

Anyway, so we go. We're all wearing the hoodies. Anyway, bro, this is, this is, this is the, this is the world that Seth lives in. And what, what a poor, handsome, innocent boy he is. Okay? We're sitting there at halftime, Mitchell's, you know what I'm saying? Mitchell? The guy from jazz.

Oh, man, Mitchell? Yeah, Spider. Yeah, Spider. Right? This motherfucker, like, keeps on looking at us. As he's rolling, he looks over. He looks over. All right.

And or halftime, one of the jazz players, I don't remember who it, was because it was fast comes up to the bench and I'm like I'm like to where we're sitting and we're like yo what I said hi because I was sitting first and then immediately dude goes over and he's like he's like scump you're the fucking goat you're the legend you're the fucking man right and says like oh thanks man thanks so it's awesome awesome says hi to dashie and then takes off to the locker rooms end of the game another player from the jazz comes over is like what what I was what I was saying what I was up what I'm sad what I was Seth you are the goat man you're the fuck what I'm like I'm like yo that's so sick what's so sick what I'm

So we go out, Mark Cubans, like, walking towards us and we're walking towards us. What's out, Mark? Boom, boom. Like, fist, everybody, everyone's fucking crazy. I'm like, I'm like, Seth, you don't find it. Like, at least, like, a little bit, like, fucking mega cool that two of the fucking jazz players came over to say hi. He's like, yeah, it's cool, but I just, like, don't know how to act or don't know

how to react to that. I don't think Skump even. Realize that you skump? Bro, I'll go on, like, the most random people's Instagram. I'm talking about, bro, like, NBA Legends, all the time. Like, they're following. They're following Scump. Yeah.

I'm not following him back. He don't even know. That's crazy, bro. Bro, Sean Mendez. You know what that is? Sean Mendez? You definitely do. You just don't.

Yeah, he's not a TikToker. He's a really popular song. He's a very popular singer. Oh, yeah, yeah, I know that. Yeah, yeah. So, yeah, this dude. Yeah, yeah. This is how I know that he's famous.

Casey Neistad made a documentary about him himself. Casey Nyset did. He's fucking crazy. Anyway, this dude has hit up Seth a bunch of times to go out while in L.A. And also to play. Seth has never or replied like maybe once. He's like, I don't know what to tell him. I was like, I don't know what we would do.

I'm like, play Call of Duty. What do you mean? And he's like, you know, he's like, nah, I'm good. I'm good. It's not wrong with Seth. There's something wrong with Seth, man. But it just goes to, you know, which what makes him him, right? Like just a simple dude.

Yeah, that's who he is. And he's genuine about it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like literally like, yeah. That's great. It's a normal dude.

Auto players, me, Seth. Yeah, bro. Every was like, Seth, you're the fucking legend. When you won that war, the first was like, when you won that war zone fucking tails

were fucking sick. Seth's like, yeah, thanks, thanks, and we're like, oh, yeah. I recorded it. It's fucking it. Oh, shit.

I mean, I'll show you. Actually, we'll put it in the, the video. Yeah, we'll put it in the video. But in the meantime, obviously,

Hamas Rodriguez has to be like the, Chicharito, obviously legendary Mexican. And he played for West Ham United, which makes him my guy. You know what I mean? Hamas, you know, good-looking dude apparently. I mean, you know, call a spade of spade, you know.

Yeah, no, that was a crazy moment when I played. Call a spade of spade. What were you saying? That was like a crazy, like a ha moment for me, like when I first played with him. Because it was like, I was playing Warzone regularly with like another Colombian streamer. And he's like, hey, you've ever played with Hamas? Like, he just invited me. Like, I've played with him before.

And he invited him. And that's how I like got to play with him. him for like the first time and ever since we've played a bunch but in columbia he's like one of the most famous people there right now yeah all right so here it is let me i was gonna put it in the vlog but i haven't edited because i'm the worst so right there he's like right there he had just told them he's like yo me and a bunch of all the jazz players play caught play war zone hit me up that's fucking dope bro that's so cool that's so cool at the end of the game they came up. You know what I mean? And look, you know, we've been out there. Ben Simmons has come

up to say what's up. Josh Hart, who's like a super, super humble, awesome fucking dude also. But to see like other people from the NBA, like, obviously Devin Booker is like the, I think the one in my opinion that has sort of like really infiltrated gaming the, actually I would say Ben Simmons also because of and Josh Hart. Ben Simmons, Josh Hart and this dude have like really like sort of stamped their name on gaming as one of us from a Call of Duty perspective. So shout out to them. Super cool to see them come out. Jason Mamoa in other news talks about in talks to be in the new Minecraft movie.

Click on that man because I saw this and I just thought to myself, what in the world could they do in Minecraft? Like this is the guy that did Aquaman? Aquaman. Yeah. He did Aquaman. No pun did. No pun. Yeah, but what is the Minecraft movie?

You know, like, I haven't talked to other Minecrafters to see the storyline. And then, you know, it's an adventure game, sure. But, like, what does a movie look like? Right. I'm excited to see. How is he going to look like? I always confusing me about stuff like that, too. Like, what would it look like even?

Yeah, right? Like a Call of Duty game, what would it be? Yeah, you know what I mean? Well, I guess it could be like... Call of Dutries a little bit more easier than Minecraft, though. Yeah. Well, Minecraft you beat a dragon, so like, there's an end to it. But like, real life character, Minecraft?

If I can guess correctly, I bet you that this is going to be one of those like kid movies. Like overly like poppy like, like, you know, like noises, poing, point, point. You know, that sort of thing. Yeah. I'm going to check it out though. Oh, I'm for sure 100% going to watch it. Right. Or maybe it is kind of like bringing the video games to real life.

Like he would be himself. Yeah. And it would be kind of like that movie, the Lunar Tunes movie. Yeah. Basketball movie. Space Jam. One and two. By,

coincidentally, they happen to be... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Space Jam one was with the number one basketball player ever. Space Jam 2 was with arguably the second best basketball player ever. And LeBron James.

And the comments go wild. Yeah, the comments go wild. What movie was Bow Island? Bawa. Yeah, was he in a basketball movie? Like Mike. Oh, yeah. Like Mike.

Like Mike. Like Mike. I want to be like Mike. I want to be. Dude, does David's not just disappear for days at a time or am I tripping? Yeah, no,

he does disappear. He just came back from North Carolina. Do you feel like that about me too on the weekends? Yeah. You know where to find me on the weekends. You'll disappear for like a week. Yeah. You'll disappear for a week at a time.

And then you'll be here for a week straight. Yeah. And I'm like, I don't even waste my time. And then you leave again. I'm going to just wait until I see him at content. Yeah. I see Bose like once every three weeks.

Yeah. It turns like, yeah, it was good Yeah You have a weird schedule Like he was my launch partner for a long time And then Anybody else when they're like Yeah, they canceled

And I'm on my way here I get so mad I'm like damn When they told me formal canceled I was like Maybe you're like good Get some fucking sleep Yeah yeah

Yeah I was like the motherfucker probably Been up all night You know I like needed the cancel Yeah I'm like if he canceled He was tired I was so tired

I'm gonna give it to him Oh my god. Did you guys see the the streamer kid that throws a rave every single time? Somebody subs? Yeah, that was done. That's a good idea, right? It went so viral, dude. I feel like everybody saw that clip.

Because that went viral, he gained over 100,000 followers in one week. I bet you it's more now. Yeah, it went super, super viral. It just goes to show, man. Like, if you have a good idea and enough people, enough amount of people watch it, you can change your life. That's like one of the ideas, though, that, like, he can go viral within, like, the first day.

That's crazy. No one's ever done that. As long as he gets like five viewers, someone will pick it up, the fire gun, bro. Yeah, that's crazy.

That was crazy. I was like, you got a fire gun back there? I like that part. What's nuts about that is that, like, dude, why are you lighting a fire,

two fires like that? I get nervous when I fire up the fucking flame thronged. Dude, he's doing with his back turn to the flames. Yeah, not even looking in backwards, you know what I'm saying?

Where's he's true? He said, even though. Look at this. Look at this. Look at this. Look at this. All right, let me ask you this, Matt.

Where is this dude from? Is he from Europe? Is he? I can guarantee you he is. Germany? Go up a little bit, Matt. I was in Germany, too, where are there enough? German Twitch streamer.

Cross mouse. Really? Yeah. Yo, you don't do that in the United States. You know what I feel like Germans like party like hard as fuck. I think this is why I think. I think that because the United States is such a capitalist country, like we figured out a way to create houses with the cheapest

materials that just hold off enough. In Mexico, for example, everything is mud, it's bricks, and it's like cement, cement, yeah, everything. There's no drywall. We don't know what drywall is. Columbia's the same. Punching a hole through a wall does not exist in Mexico.

Oh, shit, you're in Colombia, so you just, no. You break your hand, bro. Your whole shit's fun. Wait, really? Yeah. Yeah, you're not going through that wall. Yeah. The wall is it's quiet in the rooms and shit. Like you can't hear it.

Yeah, bro, it's cement. Like, do you remember, do you remember Jersey Shore when they were in Italy? Yeah. And then Mike, Mike, I try to, try to, like, front on fucking Ronnie. He tried to, he said, he's like, he's like, I was about to get into a fight in high school. And I, you know, punched my, my head through the wall. And the guy got scared. So I try to do the same thing to show Ronnie that I'm fucking nuts.

And he tried to put, you know, put his head through the wall. But they were in Italy. it's made a cement so he literally got a fucking concussion from him oh my god yeah because he thought it was drywall drywall you can punch

yeah well he doesn't know you just you know you're not punching a wall through so this is how I knew that they had to be from from Europe or somewhere because there's no shot

like if you light a fire like that look we got what is a styrofoam fucking ceilings right I feel like everything's flammable in here everything's flammable in here 100% that's such a good idea

like the whole rave with the fire and like no one's doing that every kill like what do you do for a living I'm just light fires all fucking days it's like why it's like well people every time somebody gives me five bucks

all I have to do is press this button every time someone subs and how many followers do you have on Twitter now? Well how many subs? How many subs? I want to know how many subs I know Matt knows all the shortcuts he set the bar way too high for his on stream

that's the one bad thing I mean I don't know I mean even if he goes down to more than he had originally, he won. Yep. Yeah, he definitely won. That's a... You know, like, what, uh,

if he was, um, asphorically viral with a clip of his example? But what does he do? Is he a gamer? Yeah, he said he... Does he stream? I think he's strange. He likes to fire when it gets a kill, I think. No, it's when he gets a sub.

No, it was every kill. Nah. I swear. I swear, I read that like four different times. Yeah, I think it was every club. Every kill he gets you, like, celebrates by, like, doing that. And, like, end up to... So genius.

An NW2 thing or some shit. So genius. I was like every kill. So he's music and just chatting. See, there's no, there's no games down there. He hasn't played any games. Stream categories, only music and just chatting. So it can't be, no.

It's every sub. I think the tweet that went viral, though, said every kill. Damn, look at his chat now. Yeah. Definitely wrong, though. Bro, look at this. That is lit, though. That is lit.

And he's got all these NFTs like flying around. How old is this good? 15. 15. 15. Yeah. Des Aller Feinstein Epilepsy Warning

Epilepsy warning That's so dope Imagine me in this guy's DoorDash Is your house burning down? I want to see the fire kit Yeah Europeans know how to techno bro I'll tell you that much

Yeah He's going rogue dude Yeah Down down down down Like hardcore technology Yeah It's called heartstepping. All right, man, you've given us the epileptic tour long enough.

Thank you, Mike. So guess what? Just came in the news. As you guys are watching it, you guys have known for a couple of days. But Michael Bisping has just accepted to fight versus Jake Paul only if Jake gets under a UFC contract. Okay. What does that mean? So if, well, first of all, if, you know, Dana White rightfully.

rightfully so, likes to keep the majority of the money for his company, UFC, as as it should. So he's being overprotective because the Paul brothers are very good at also keeping the money to themselves. Right. Rightfully fucking so. Yeah.

So you also run into the thing that is it irresponsible for the company or the UFC sport to allow this amateur to compete against a pro? He could get seriously injured. One right punch to the wrong side of the head lights fucking out.

I mean, Michael Bispick himself lost his eye because of an illegal blow. Oh my God, that's so aides. Yeah. Wow. And you know what he did? You know what he did?

He pretended to be good. Even though he was blinded in the eye, he pretended to be good in it so that he could fight. So that he could fight. He's like, yeah, I can see. I'm good. But what about now, though?

Now he's got to know. Now everybody knows he doesn't fight anymore and he's got a glass eye. Oh, but no, he's down to fight Jake Paul though? Yeah, right there. He says he's agreed to it, but only if Jake Paul gets on their UFC contract. Right? So right here, this is what happened.

So he can beat the shirt of him? Is that what he can beat the shirt of him without, like, feeling bad? I don't know. I don't think that any fighter at that level has the ability to just fuck somebody up because they can. I think that they're very disciplined and they understand the lethal weapon that they are, that they wouldn't go all the way through. But good enough to where you can teach him a lesson. But even then, the reason that I think that Michael Bisping said that,

that only if he gets on the UFC contract is because he's getting Dana White's back and it's trying to get Paul under UFC. Yeah. Because it's a valuable asset for the UFC. We have to number, one of the largest influencers in the world. Definitely in the United States.

Yeah, for sure. Yeah. For sure. Look. So it would be a UFC fight or would it be a boxing fight? That's the other thing. I mean, that's what I'm assuming. I think it would be like a, like they'll do it as an undercard.

They would have to do it as an undercard, right? Like they can't do that It's one of the main events Not a UFC fight though I feel like it wouldn't be No, I would be I think it would be no undercard You know because they'll make it

They'll make it part of something bigger Yeah yeah Yeah They'll bring Connor on that card As the main event And then this is what's not happen They're gonna bring Connor McGregor for the main card Dick Paul's gonna win

No fucking Logan Paul's gonna be in the crowd Talking shit right it's all planned they're gonna get in there and Connor and if you want to fight me that's fucking what's fucking do and then obviously Logan Paul

the fucking smart dude that he is is gonna be like fuck it fuck it let's make cheese dope I mean think about it right like who who did Logan Paul fight

Floyd Floyd come on who did Floyd fight Connard McGregor it's a Triangle of love of sorts. It's a triangle of fucking cash ring. Yeah, it's a triangle of...

It's a fucking cash triangle. Yeah, so... Floyd's fighting some exhibition in the air in Dubai. Did you see that? Yeah. Like how it's set up. Who's fighting? Floyd.

Floyd Mayweather. He's fighting in the air? In Dubai. In the air? Yeah. What do you mean in the air? I don't know. It's like...

It's the tallest building... Like Avatar? With like a pad hanging off the side and they're going to fight. Oh, no, man. Crazy. You imagine you get punched out of the ring? And just fall off into this guy. Is it no, you're like,

It's like moral combat With the first two seconds You're like, wait, why having to hit the ground And then you remember You're not gonna hit the ground For another 20 seconds Oh my god, that'd be AIDS Bro, that is nuts

Yeah Imagine Formal you- It's windy as fuck You have to play a 1V1 up there For versus like $10 million Against AIDS TV Oh my God

Just running at me Covered in his own pee I'm like Why are you so prepared for this Why is it covering all of you? Thanks Maddie, that's a good one. Well, the exhibition matches, like, makes sense, obviously, for people like that.

Like, Floyd got, like, I don't know, maybe, like, 300 mil just for, like, a fight in Asia. How much was the Floyd get paid for the fight in China? But, like, I can totally see, like, why. Like, he is that level of superstar that you want to see. You know what I mean? Come to your country. Yeah, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And he's funny as hell, too, man. He's, like, not a bad personality. You know what I mean? like all the all the reading aside he's uh he's a really really big personality anything matt um yeah yeah yeah here we go mayweather business nasukawa purse yeah yeah that's the one how much one hundred sixty two million eighty eight million for the about approximately sixty two million will come from what is this so floyd got paid 88 million dollars to go fight uh the the most popular Chinese person,

which is that dude. And Floyd, obviously, won. And it made sense, right? I was like, oh, I'm going to get paid 88 mil to just show up for one night. It's easy money. Against an amateur, I don't have, it doesn't count against my record. Not that he was going to lose, but it wouldn't count against his record. Like, he totally did.

Shut up Floyd, man. About his cheese. He's about that paper, man. You can't hate. For sure. You can't hate on that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not at all.
