It's like a six-foot ladder. These things weighed like 20 pounds. I was up there like literally in the tree on top of the ladder. You're sweating and shit? Oh my God. I was in battle about scumpy. He had grown man. That's how I do shit.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome, welcome, welcome to us with the 1099 of the Optic Podcast. Damn. I am back. One away from two Honda. I am back. haven't been in the last two podcasts, you can tell because the views are way up. Which means,

now you're back and the last episode was way up. What happened to the views, man? A lot of things are... RTP stole them all? That's what's up. Yes. That's what's up. No, no, no, not at all.

Things like that are things that help. I mean, RTP definitely affected it. 100%. Yeah, for sure. My around the bar with Seth started at like an 8 out of 10. And I was like, what? But now it's now, since we left, slowly.

It like has shot up. And I was like, what the fuck? And it's definitely because of RTCB. That's all people did for like a week. And we appreciate everybody for it. People's lifestyles. Yeah. Oh, 100%.

Everyone was like, what are we going to do once this is gone? Like a bunch of people kept saying that. Yeah. So, yeah. It was crazy. I mean, round two next year. No one's talked about it yet.

We got all pod to talk about that. It's kind of hard to talk about. A traumatic event. It's been hard to readjust to normal life. dude whenever like after I did like the walk downtown um whenever I whenever I like the next few days I felt like this weird like like lack of self purpose like because I did such a crazy thing yeah and then I went back to normal life the feeling I had then is like amplified by like 40 now because like I woke up the next day

and I was like now what yeah I'm not on camera I'm not next to people I asked Hector what was the acceptable amount of time to take off after doing that. And he said week in, week out. But I think I'm streaming today. So you haven't streamed this since then? Four days. Okay, that's good. Well, I'm happy. I'm happy that you took that. I'm happy. Four days, no streaming. I'm happy that you did that. Everybody else, however, they, they just keep going. They just keep going. I saw this dude, I saw Lazy, Lacey getting mad at people not subscribing to him. Yeah, he was like, You sure it wasn't a bit? Might have been a bit.

It's always a bit. It's kind of like I don't do that, but like I see the humor in it. Yes, you too. Give me five now are menning the stream. But he's like he's good at it. Put the bomb on the chip. Put the chip. God, for 50 gifted right now, I'll put the bomb on the chair.

What our facts even knows what we're talking about. Neac kept going. Can I get 20 gifted, man? I'm here. Like, you'd be like, I'm here too, BTH. Just send the back home. Yeah, 20%. Let's go.

Come on. Oh, dude. It was a crazy eight. It was eight days. I sent everybody a text afterwards and I gave you guys your props because just from a mental fortitude standpoint to be locked. That easy that you're locked in with dudes and your friends and all that. But it was like a trialing thing. I wouldn't have been able to do it.

I can guarantee you that with 1,000 percent certainty. Even if I would have had my separate room the way that you did in one of the confessionals, I don't think that I still. No, you didn't rage quit. You just, you took like, so like imagine where the hunger games, you took one of the sponsors' packages. It was like, boop. Yeah, you earned it somehow. It was my sleep.

I don't know how y'all slept, especially hitch. Dog, I did not sleep. Yeah, you didn't sleep. Yours was crazy. Because like during the day, it's like, we were trying to be as respectful as possible. but also it's like it's during the day. And then literally sometimes we'd forget. And to start like, I'd just be like, I'm turning this bitch up.

I just start blasting. I'm using jumping around. I looked over it, it's a giving me the fucking desk there. I would say I got like five hours of sleep every night, but it wasn't, it wasn't good sleep. No, it was like airplane sleep. Yeah, it wasn't real sleep. It was like, like, I remember one thing I didn't think about was when I laid down in my own bed. obviously I was I was excited to be my own bed

but it was the first time I'd gone to sleep without ear plugs in in a week in a week in eight days and so I was just like oh my god like that and no eye mask no no earpugs like this guy fucking turns on the stream and presses play lifts lifts the volume up to like just to sleep again just like you sleep again got that grind in the background

Davis Davis's schedule is diabolic I mean I don't really feel bad for anyone but Davis yeah but I mean to be fair like isn't that what you train for on a daily basis Like you only stream at night, right? What you train for? I go to bed at like, we get off stream at like 1.30. I was like starting my stream at 1.30.

I was like starting my shift at 1.30. That last shift is the last shift. The last night shift. I don't know how you did that. Because we were taking tequila shots. I had a michelotta from the can, which... Good? No.

Horrible. Blank and George loved it. So they brought it over. And he was like, do we have any beers? We got michelada. I don't know if you. going to like it though. They were all taking shots and I was like, I can't take another shot because I was playing.

And I was like, I can't take another one and sit here and try to like coherently play good. So I was like, give me one of those. It tasted like a beer bloody Mary. I didn't love it. Yeah, I'm not a fan. But then Davis took over. It's the climato in it. All that tomato juice.

It's just not for me. There's a lot. But then Davis took over after me and he made it all the way until like what? Like 10. Because nobody woke up. We all went to bed at like four. They were all hung over. And we were all.

all like, yeah, we all drank. So he goes till 10. I wake up, literally woke up, brush my teeth, cracked an energy drink, and just sat down. I was like, someone's got to get him off. Yeah, because like, uh, cause, uh, because remember Tush's, uh, Tush's, uh, Tush's, uh, alarm kept going off and he wouldn't wake up. Yeah. So it was just like, d'ring, d'ring, d'ring.

For seven days. Every fucking day. I was like, who's alarm is that? And I, I, I, I opened my chat and they were like, dude, who is just sleeping through the alarm is Davis is just powering through this shit. And I like couldn't, I couldn't even think about it. The last hour and a half, I just stopped talking. I didn't even care.

I was like, just so you know, I know there's a bunch of people watching right now, but like I can't, I can't like talk. I can't talk to you guys. I was so exhausted. Oh my God. It was crazy. Yeah, again, prop, super, super, super probs. Seven days, eight hours of gameplay.

Seven days, 18 hours of streaming. Third account to reach master. We podium. We podium. Which is crazy. We didn't think we were going to win. Like we went into it, we went into it knowing we weren't going to win, like against Doom Clan. We knew we weren't going to beat them.

And then there were some other group. Like a French team that did it. Yeah. There was some other group, either French or Italian or something European. You know what we got to do. What? Did a VPN? No.

Well, yeah, was there a lot of people VPNing? We don't know. Apparently the number one team at some point got accused. I don't remember. Apparently someone brought it up on stream accidentally. Yeah, somebody pulled it up on stream. But then, like, we couldn't. figure out no one knew who it was like it's

doom and then it was like people were like no it's not it's not doom and i was like we know our clan or our clan we know our streams like they're gonna ride or die for us so they were just like fuck doom they're doing this this and everyone in the chat fuck doom l dune no no it's not that i didn't think we were going to get top three but we got top three we podium because we did not in in world war too it was like that was the last time we did it was like me nick snake bite uh Aaron create homage God squad yeah we got I mean we hit it I mean we're not that's never our point to go no no first and that so I wish people saw that because everyone was like everyone the whole time

was trying to make it like a competition we were like guys this is who's taped to the wall yeah like we wanted to make it like we're living here we're hardly getting any sleep like there's Everyone else is probably on all these other race teams. Like they're putting in like six, eight hours going home, so you've been living their normal life. They're coming back. Like, this is not the same shit. That is so different.

Like, like, Nuke Squad. Like, Nuke Squad is really the only other, like, content team that we kind of like kept up with. Well, really kept tabs on because we were like, Doom, we were like, they're going to beat us. The other team, we didn't really even know who they were. I don't know who they were. And then, so it was kind of like us versus Nuke squad at a certain point. we were like, all right, this is the only team

that's like, that's like doing it. That's like similar to us. Yeah, but that's the same thing. They get, they did their six hours, handed the controller off and went and slept, went home. It's totally different. It's so different. We were staring at that goddamn screen for seven days straight.

Dude, if I saw it. If you're not sleeping, you're sitting behind that fucking couch. Playing the same, trying to play the same three maps over and over and over again. Jesus. What were the, what were the, uh,

the significant? other thoughts on this. I mean, obviously you live with your girl. You live with your girl. I mean, it just, you know, made a decent amount of money, so that helped. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, Is was fine with it

because Iz went to Virginia. My family had something going on. So she just went to that with my whole side of the family. So she got, the timing was kind of good. She was there for three or four days. Yeah. So she didn't really, she was there like the first two days

or like first day and a half and then left and then came back and we had like three days left. So it wasn't too bad for her. Yeah, I try to tell her there's going to be certain opportunities because obviously Michelle's brand new to all this shit, but there's going to be certain opportunities that I'm not going to pass these up because these are not what makes or breaks your career, but these are large sort of milestones that you're going to come across

that you just have to take advantage of this type of shit. Yeah. So she gets in it. Yeah. but yeah that that shit was crazy seven days 18 hours of street what was your least favorite part i mean just the the sleeping situation if the sleeping situation was better i don't think it would have been as bad as it was so you're saying i think the i think the dick measuring contest on who's going to get the fucking screen time was my least favorite oh yeah we went into it that was my

what what what we went into it like yo we're going to have a schedule and then i would make a schedule and Toosh was just ripping into me and I was like dude Well it was the three of them. Well no I had to start planning in like guys this is when I'm gonna play Cause if I don't say something it's gonna be three a.m. and then like all right who's next? Then me in the back. I'll play just fucking dying Sleep deprived so I had to start saying like all right well tonight like I'm only gonna

only gonna play like two maybe three hours if it sorts of night shift and like waiting on hitch to wake up or so I'm I'll play like three, maybe four, but it did turn into a, uh, we were like, not fighting for, it was not fighting for screen time. It was fighting for the good screen time. It was like, obviously Seth has to play the most because we want to finish eventually. And then I, I, I think I went into it knowing that I was going to do the graveyard. I just knew I was going to because I didn't think anybody else wanted to. And then it was the three of them fighting over the other well, it got to a point where I just felt like a burden, like obviously I was probably the worst one there and played the least.

But it got to a point where I felt like a burden because it was like, if I want to get on, Zinny gets off sooner. And then if I want to stay on longer, Hitch gets less night shift. Then I got to my point where I'm like, fuck that. These aren't there, ships. Get in where you fit in. No, but actually I actually did like sort of,

not feel like a burden, but I was like, I felt like I would be taking away from like, you know, Zini, like, come on, it's 2 a.m. Get the fuck off. Like, this is the only time I'm able to play. It was just funny because, like, it's very often. Like, we everyone, no one was ever going to kick Seth off, but then I think Zinney was like because I was.

Tush was trying. Tush was fighting me for my time. But then, of course, like, I think in Zinny's mind, he was like, well, I used to be pro, so I get second shift. And the rest of us were like, and that's not, I don't care that you were pro. Well, I don't even think it was that. Seth is the best pub stopper ever. When you just call it how it is, it's what time would work. best for their streams.

And that's... Oh, yeah. Like, there's a reason why Zinnie wanted to get on right after Seth because it was like, one, it's right after Seth. Two, everyone's watching and like people aren't asleep yet. So it's like, it's still prime time. Okay, so what did we learn from next year? Do what?

I think, no, at the end, we finally got like our shifts. Like, we finally got it dialed in. So I would... I think the free for all, I mean, it was my least favorite part, but it was also like it added like an element of like... I'd get it. the worst sleep and then find out, oh, they're going to play till this time. So I'm like calculating in my head. Like, okay, so I'm going to play from three to fucking 5.30 in the morning.

Because Seth would be like, I'm knocking out seven hours. And we'd be like, okay. And then Zay would be like, I'm knocking out six hours. We'd be like, no, no, you get four hours. But then we, but then we'd have guests come in on certain days. And that would also, that would like cut into my time, which would then cut into everyone's time. Because like, we had, we had, what, Shotsie and Pred come in one day and then the next day we had formal and karma come in and the Natechak came in so we gave all of our guests like three hour windows

but the three hour window is in the middle of the day which was usually my shift my shift's I was trying to start at like 10 and go for like you know a session so we could rank the account up so I try to go for a bit so that would kind of cut into it too but I feel like towards the end we figure it out yeah I think I think

in the morning after you I would play after Tush. You were pissed when Tush was playing? No, not at all. There's my time. No, not at all. I was pissed whenever just no one was saying anything and then I would be like all right, it's my turn to play and then I and then Tush would be like

dude, dude, when do I get to play? And I'm like dude, please just pick a window. I don't care when you play. Just please stop. You also never know when he's serious or not. Like a sentence will come out of his brain or of his mouth and you're like, did you mean? I don't know if you meant that or not.

I never really knew I can relate before this. Like I've, I think hung out with him once or twice, but definitely got to know tush in the tush bags a little bit this weekend. Yeah, it's a fun little. He actually, like, he sort of fit in perfectly. Yeah, no, he was literally like,

I don't think, I'm not, I don't think there is, as another person that would have fit in as good as he did with our group of four. For that long of a period, I don't think there's anyone else that would have fit in like that. Did you ever think about calling it? No.

After, well, I absolutely not because I finish what I start. But after the, after the first, like, I think it was the first three days, I was probably on about five hours of sleep, like total. And just felt so, like, just felt horrible. I was like, I genuinely don't know what I'm going to do. I remember one time I fell asleep. I went to sleep at like 11 p.m. Because I was going to hop on at like 3 a.m.

Woke up like 10 times, just constantly. Yeah, five, five, 20, good, yeah. I woke up. Kept getting woken up. It had to be like 10 times. Fell asleep at 11 p.m. kept going to woken up. And then I was thinking, I was like, okay, it has to be like close at 3 a.m.

And I look at my clock, it's like 1145. Oh, I hate that. Like, I woke up 10 times within 45 minutes. That's the worst. It was one of those like, was I even asleep kind of moments? And that was on like day three or four. And we're not even fourth. We're like fourth prestige.

That's when I, you're like, oh, no. That's when I rage quit and just fucking grab my bed and went to the corporate side. I was like, I just can't. Just grabbed his whole mattress and I see him bringing it walking away. I was just like, I can't. Like, my, the sleep has been so bad. I'm a light sleeper. Like, I mean, that was really my only issue with the whole thing was the sleeping.

Day zero. Made it kind of fun. No, day zero was, no, day zero was the worst. Next year, next year we have to call the building before because literally. Harder than fuck. It was, none of us got sleep. It had to have been like 82 in here.

Yeah, that was not a good start. It was the worst. And there was 17 PCs on it. I was up for 36 hours, day one. And people were like, you're not going to play kickoffs. And I was like,

guys, you guys must think I'm made a steal or something. Because, dude, we literally, none of us slept. And we played all day from launch. Was at 5 or 6 a.m. Launch was at 6 a.m.

Because of the New Zealand. That fucking air horn. Yeah. So. Roger. We all got woke up at five, getting ready to play at six. I'm sitting there before my shift. I didn't feel real.

Before the game released, I did not feel real. Like, I was, like, looking at my hands, like, am I really about to play eight hours right now? And, dude, I... Started questioning your choices. Just day zero next year, we got to call the building beforehand and make sure they know. We did.

We did. That's the issue. I just think, yeah, I just think that some of the people that work here, you tell them something like, yeah, we'll do it. Just to, like, shut you up because, you know, who works after this time? And when they started putting stickers on cars, like I fucking hit up my contact.

I'm like, yo, stop. What are you doing, please? He's like, so sorry, so sorry. I didn't know that it was you guys. I'm like, God damn. Well, it's not a sticker, but they put, um. Yeah, it's like a sign. I was here because I had to leave for,

I think I left to take my dogs out, came back and it was like the last night. So my car was outside for only 20, not even 24 hours. And it's still not a sticker, but like a postcard thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was just like, what the, didn't heck should just have a yell at them about this shit?

They're still sticking shit on people's cars. It was literally only out there 24 hours. Yeah, I think the sticker thing was a little bit too egregious. If they put a post in there. Mammage. Dude, Pam was also a low-key sleeper. Dude, Pam kept Davis company like every night. Yeah.

Like, Pam came in. It was great, like 80% of the time. Like 80% of the time was awesome. Wait, why? That was a 20% in time where, like, I would be like, dude, I don't think Pam's. stop talking and two and a half hours like it would just be a stream of consciousness would just come out of his mouth yeah and it would be so point we're like you know you snap back into a conversation that's how i would be like after an hour of him he's on those mic tarters getting after

i would click on the stream like while i'm going to sleep it'd be like 5 a m and i would just click see what's going on it's just pam just talking and talking and even when i would pam wouldn't say a fucking word but the second i hop on the sticks suddenly coach pam is behind telling me look left look right Nate here like yeah he really like when I would hop on he would just feel comfortable to like and we did

yeah we did um get into some oh that was the most annoying that was the most annoying it was my shift I'm in the middle of the couch playing for I probably two and a half to three and a half hours and they didn't stop arguing the entire time about what I don't

everything every I think Nick was just trying to under his skin and so he was on my right Pan was on my left and they just kept bickering Pann would talk dude I'd literally tell you one thing we said I don't even tell you one thing we said I don't know it was just bickering

the whole time and then like the chat would start coming at me I'd start chirping at the chat and there's probably so many moments around just because if you if you guys would really get into it I would just look at the camera like this there's probably moments of me looking like dead pan at the camera and you guys are just bickering

oh that's the best after like the third I noticed we were doing it again I was like I need to go to sleep I was like once it gets to this moment when me and Pam to start going at each other I was like I let me go to sleep The real question is Would you guys do it again next year

If everything aligns again If there's another I do it yeah absolutely If there's another master prestige Yeah that shit was like That shit was like Like when we popped the confetti I was like looking at you guys

And I was like damn We just went to war Like it felt like that. That was a perfect ending though too. Yeah, it was. I'm like everyone's sub trains were going off. People. There were seven,

there were five hype trains going on at one time. When I woke up this morning and like walked over over like the stream, not that the streams were dead, but there was like there just wasn't no hype going on. And then I think I was close to a goal. So people started gathering. We started getting a yeah. Yeah.

Come on. Oh, you had to run like a marathon or something. Yeah. And then once that started for my stream, I think the two shes. bag, start going, and then everyone's fucking stream started popping. Now, I, I, we broke our hype train record. I shot myself in the cock.

Did you? Oh, yeah, you did. I didn't even notice that. We're all celebrating. Dude, that is such a dope frame. It is. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

So, incredible. What did you guys do when you got home that day? I, I slept, I slept for 20 hours. You slept? I immediately went to sleep and I woke up twice. to take Mace out went back to sleep. We did not sleep. Nick's like I wanted to go to sleep, but.

It was Halloween. We handed out candy and then got fucked up with our neighbors. Did you? Oh my God. Are you serious? Dude, we handed out Halloween candy. We, we,

our neighbor across the street was like, you have to go meet this neighbor. So we went over, met them after we ran out of candy. Went over, met them, hung out with them for like 15, 20 minutes. So what's up. And then went over. to our other neighbor's house and

Hector ends up walking up the driveway. We end up talking to this neighbor for like an hour. Hector just shows up. Hector Jude and Liv show up. Yeah. And then we go in they leave. We go into their house afterwards and we're there for another like. No, we left when you guys went in there and you're like, can I go

see your house? Can I just check it out? Can I just check it out? Because it was like a vibe house. So Seth wanted to go explore and then he got adopted. You got adopted, right? That's apparently. You got adopted by the same people. We were drinking. Yes. They were going in on it. Dude, that is insane. The fact that you drank is insane. I haven't talked to my neighbors at all. Like, I just got my first home. Every time we,

like, see each other, it's just like... And then after that, I was like, I looked at myself in the mirror the next day, just not feeling that great, a little hungover. And I'm like, dude, get it together, man. Like, you just fucking had an eight day, an eight day stream. And then I immediately, I went for a run. And I've ran every day since. So, oh, yeah. I'm trying to get back on my chain. Yeah. I ran this morning. I got to lock it in. My sleep, the night, the day we left, I went home.

The day we left, I went home and I think like I took a nap. Then I woke up from that nap. And then by like 8 p.m. fell dead asleep and slept for 12, 13 hours. Like it was, it literally felt, and I said this on an Instagram story, not to talk about fucking my Addy days every time. It literally felt like that. Like when I would go like a week or two of just like taking hell of Addy, getting no sleep, being up for days at a time.

And then I finally stop and I have that crash. It felt just like that. It was almost a weird nostalgic feeling. Yeah, I went home and just slept. And it was so. I even still feel like I'm like, not recovering. No, I still feel that. I still feel it for sure.

But it was like my sleep is, my sleep schedule was all fucked up. because I slept till like 1 p.m. the next day, and now I'm waking up at like noon and shit. I'm usually like 7, 7.30 in the morning. So yeah. This fucked up my schedule. Oh, 100%. And I think that's kind of, I mean, I didn't expect to,

but I mean, now that I've done it, now next year I'm going to go into it knowing what to expect. It's like I've slept every single day since then I've slept like probably 10 hours. Yeah. Like at least like just my body is just trying to catch up. it was quite the ride man that was quite the fucking ride how was your race

uh my race uh i was in madrid with the family um or what race are you oh the the gas car race was really fun i mean it's always fun just because it's like uh it's something so out of the ordinary

like you would have never caught me watching no NASCAR you know what I'm saying if you look at the skin of man i'm just not the demographic little by little I started to become a fan you know there was this one this a couple of nights we played with with uh with uh with uh with uh with eliot chase elli remember were you a part of that i wasn't a part of it so we were playing we're playing war zone with him and his boy uh and i started paying more attention to it and then our opportunity came about to uh to to to sort of co-sponsor a car and it was just one of those

random things that happened because the president of spire motorsports used to be our head council at Infinite Esports. And we were friends. Obviously, he was just a lawyer there. No, no, no. So we stayed friends and he's like, hey, we have this car as the number seven car and we don't have a sponsor for one of the races.

We thought that'd be cool if we don't collab. And I was like, fuck yeah. I want to see the logo go, fucking 200 miles an hour. That is so sick. It was the sickest one on the track for sure. We didn't place that good. I think we came in 28th, I think,

or 24th. I'm not 29th. We got a new driver. Overall, dope experience. I was hoping to see Michael Jordan. I didn't get to see him because he's got his own. He was there? No, I didn't get to see him.

He didn't show up. So because everybody- Is this in Greensboro? Yes. Well, this is Virginia. Oh, okay. Okay. That out Blake.

Blake was fucking awesome. He drove the guys to the airport even though he did. Anyway, long story short. everybody from Optic had just got done the race and the game just came out and production or somebody didn't think about that when scheduling this is not an issue I'm not talking shit about them but we should have done a better job like me not booking my vacation during the race and also like this thing shouldn't have been after the race either because luckily we have enough people in our network that we can bring more people out but Tim and Eric from Pine Park they came out if you guys I also know fucking Eric Khan is like the one of the biggest if not the biggest cannabis content creators in the world. He's got like 2 million subs. He's fucking murder shit.

So although he started out being a wanted to be a gamer, a Call of Duty player professionally, by the way. He ended up doing something else. And right now he's murdering in that game. My man Tim created one of the most successful get-together, picture Lollapalooza for Cannabis. Obviously, Diesel, the Call Duty, the optic gaming logo was created out of that mind. Second best player in Umu. And then all the way on the right, we have the co-host of one of the co-hosts of Idiots, Mr. Omenz, who also designed the car. What a group.

Throwing up the villains. Yeah, we had a good time. Roger was there behind the camera also. It was insane. Roger got food poisoning from one of them weenies. No, it wasn't the food poisoning from that. We went to a multiple-time award-winning. I'm sorry, multiple James Beard Award chef restaurants called machete.

I didn't get sick. Something disagreed with Eric and then later something disagreed with Diesel. But a full 48, I mean, I'm fine. Did you guys eat anything raw? Was it like a beef tartars? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I didn't get sick.

I've never had beef tartar. Oh my God. Please let me take you to the one. No ditty. Let me take you to the one. Beef tartar. In, uh, there's, there's Trick Daddy. Trick Daddy up in the PGA has the best tart.

So weird. What, Beef Tartan? I mean, it's good, but it's so weird how it's good. Big Timer showed me beef tartar and what's the snails? Escargo. Yescargo. Yeah. Big timer had to.

My money wasn't there yet. That's car. He said, let me treat you, young. Yeah. Escargo is fire. El Cargo is not my thing. It's just like, I've had it. Give me them snails.

They're so, ah, it's so weird, but it's good. But you'll be. Oysters the same, I'm assuming it's the same texture. I love me some oysters. Snails? Yeah. No, oysters. Slimier.

Yeah, I like, I love to love with snails. I had S-cargo once fucking years ago and never had it again. You know me. I like to eat everything and anything just so I can experience it. It was just not one of those things that caught my attention. I wanted me to come back. Anyway, Optic X, Espire, NASCAR, place 29th.

very wouldn't even want a sweet I'd rather be there and yeah yeah it is hard to see though no it is hard to see because you see all those those TVs don't let you see the yeah so it's hard to actually watch the race itself. Yeah, it's like, but it's cool to be up there. I enjoy myself a lot. Yeah, no, that's way more of an experience, I feel like, then. Don't try to talk to anybody up there though. It's impossible. You can't hear any. Oh, oh, you're talking about it. It's that loud? Oh, dude, you can't

hear anything. No, it's the only communication through that walkie talking right there. No, that is for them. You can't even talk about each other. Yeah, I got a shit. Where's the bathroom? No, you just shit yourself. Ah. Right where you sit. That's where you go. Really? Yeah. Wow. No, you get up and you walked on the ladder, and then you go to the bathroom. Really? Sounds like, quite the... The first day of the race, Seth was like, dude, I had to, like, get... Like, there was so much traffic on the way to go vote, and I'm playing, and I'm like, oh, you voted, and he's up in his bunk.

And so everybody can hear us talking, and he's... I was like, oh, you voted, I haven't had a chance to vote yet. Like, how did you... Like, where was it? And he was telling me where it was. And I was like, oh, okay. like what when when when they had you went what did you write down and he was like what you mean and I'm playing

all the streets can hear and I'm like technically I didn't write anything down when they gave you the paper just hit a button and then once he finally figured out what I was saying he goes yeah I technically there was a box that you just pressed I haven't clearly you haven't voted yeah I early voted are you voting are you voting wait you guys are going today To the polls, yeah. Going today would be hell. Why?

I'm trying to get into a fight with someone. There'd be so many people there. Well, Hex is voting for that person and I'm voting for this person. So we figured our votes are canceled out anyway. So we're just going to go. Yes, yes, yes. I mean, when I went, there was maybe 30 people. We were like, we were in out.

Did you go here like right by the schools back here? No, I went to a fire station. You went to the fire station? It's a big day. I think that you guys should do your best to get out there and vote. They're not going to see this. Whether it means something. or not. I hope you guys... This will already be up.

Yeah. Anyway. It's gonna be crazy crazy night tonight. Watch this. Watch this. I am voting for Kamala Harris. All right. Ready? I am voting for Donald Trump.

You're just getting Matt Blackmail. That's all you're doing. Keep it going. Keep it going. I'm voting for... Comment. They've been waiting for some shit like this. I'm voting for whoever speaks more towards my personal

needs. I think I tweeted something like that. It got a lot of backlash. Whatever the first to be. happened and I was like let me guess who you're voting for won the debate yeah oh my god you got backlash for that just both sides just both sides I mean but it's so true though it is so true you go those debates do nothing dude no it's uh we we are we are in a in a fucked state anybody who just like they anybody fighting with anybody over this shit is literally what

they want you to do so that they can control you fucking better focus on your home focus on your relationship with your partner. Did you hear about this fucking peanut the squirrel shit? Yes, that's fuck. Oh my God. Go fuck yourself. What? Go fuck yourself, lady.

Literally. What did you hear about that? I tried to get us out of the political shit. Juan Boone Trump. Yeah, this is a lot. Elon retweet and he's got the squirrels back. Elon for Trump, me for Trump.

Right chat. Seized and euthanized. What? Let let it go. Free. What the fuck are we doing? Did they really break in? The government broke in?

Like it's just a little squirrel? Yeah, they had a... The DEC came to my house, raided my house without a search warrant to find a squirrel. I think they had a search warrant. I was treated as if I... If I was a drug dealer and they were going for drugs and guns. Went in there,

killed his fucking squirrel. That's so fucked. Wait, didn't he have another animal? Yeah, raccoon. He killed his raccoon. A raccoon, yeah. Yeah, that's fucked. Well, how, how, how, how,

were they killed exactly? I heard the squirrel had like... Dude, what the fuck, man? I heard the squirrel had like a seizure. This was a like famous TikTok squirrel very well known and then I guess people started complaining that this dude had a fucking... I think it was one person. I think it was one person.

Some lady. I don't know the technically technical term of what it would be called but you're... Karen. That's called. You're not supposed to have this squirrel in your house and a raccoon. I mean, that's unbelievable, dude. Maybe like technically it's illegal. I don't doing like nothing wrong.

One person complained and then from there they got a court order went in. But holy fuck. I don't know if they killed him. I thought it was the squirrel had a seizure. Does he just die. He said they euthanized the squirrel. Oh, really? I don't know.

Dude, it is it is assonite, but don't you dare send anyone more than $600. What the, like why would you just go in and euthanize it? If anything, let it set it free or something. No, fuck that lady. Fuck that lady. Fuck that lady. She can go to fuck. Oh, dude.

It just doesn't make no sense. Mind your business. Lady. Cute little fucking squirrel. That's all it is. Cute little squirrel. And the raccoon. Cute little raccoon.

But like it's the people who did this have to take some kind of responsibility. The search weren't breaking into his house and killing a fucking scorn raccoon. The lady who like, oh, I bet you know. I mean, is that animal control at that point? It has to be right. The people that like came in. The DEC means the department. of ecological

companies sounds right that's probably it environmental conservation get the fuck man didn't he have him for like eight years or something seven years

seven years with a squirrel that is your family member bro dog oh man that shit was crazy I kept hearing they better get some fucking bread for that no you know what

yeah bread for the squirrels hell yeah but you know what man I really hope I really hope that some like and I'm not talking about like some physical harm comes to say

You see on the left-hand side that four, click on that, on the red four. That's so funny. Oh, my God. Anyway, I guess what I will say about politics is like, don't be fucking distracted. If you're not happy with your situation, it's up to you. No one's coming to fucking help you. Get the fuck out there. Get that second fucking job if you fucking want something more.

But it's not going to happen on your last. It's certainly not going to happen by you arguing with people you love over shit that has nothing to do with you. Dumbass. For fuck sake. Bitch. That's on. Yeah. That's on Raj.

That's what I'm saying? What's that? How do you say the first name on Berkeley? Sequin? Sequin these nuts. Anyway, you did think you had a good one in that chat. Huh? I wish.

You know, you know the past. Soca, Soko and D. Yeah, I'm not falling for it. Yeah, I'm not falling for it. Everyone said, they're like, what are you talking about? Do you know the, what is it, the Jason Williams pass in the All-Star game where he passed with his elbow? Yeah. And you know how the guy missed the, miss the layup?

I wish, I kind of wish when Barkley did that backwards hurdle. I wish he would have went for like 10 more yards. He almost hurt himself out of a big. It was a sick-ass play. Yeah, that was a good play. Like NFL street plays ever. It's just so aware. But like right here.

Oh my. But like it gave him nothing. No. It gave him a two yards more. He almost hurt himself and he's injury prone. I would have been so pissed. Bro, that was such an amazing. I mean, that is girl.

She's just like, well, his, the momentum. The momentum was carrying him forward. Even when he's right here on the second one backwards, like look at the momentum. You know? That's crazy. Like him jumping was fucking smart. Hey, whatever. That's your team.

He was just playing. Go birds. Birds. Birds are on a winning streak right now. Dude, I love the fact that. Is there targeting in the NFL? Yes.

When they interviewed him with his helmet right there. When they interviewed him, he was so well trained. He said, oh, you know, that was just one player. And you know what? Like, I was just playing ball. Like, it just came natural to me. What I do need to focus on is cleaning up my second half on my second half. I did a bunch of fucking errors and, you know, my teammates are the best.

Like, so well fucking trained. I mean, the spin move was the spin move before the hurdle was. That shit was crazy. He broke that dude's ankles. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's my running back. That's your running back. How are they doing?

Should have been there. Six and two. They're on a four-game win streak right now. I mean, they should be seven and one low-key. Dude. I mean, hell, yeah. When the fucking Bears went to play in London and Caleb was fucking throwing that shit around. He was slinging that shit.

I bet a thousand dollars that the Bears would win the Super Bowl to win 45,000. since then the bears have been the bears. Yeah, that was fake. But that's how the good story starts. The Cowboys are going to win the Super Bowl. That's how the good story starts, though. You know what I'm saying?

The Cowboys are horrible and I love it. Oh, they're terrible. They have like one of the worst defenses in the league. You don't have any empathy, man. No. The Cowboys? These guys are giving the game. They're 100%.

They show up every day and give it their all. It's not the players. But because they lose the game, you're just going to laugh at them. I don't think it's the player. I think people are laughing at the fans, especially Cowboys fans. Yeah,

I don't think it is the players. I don't think people, I mean, actually, no, Dak was literally, Doc was literally just like caught on camera saying, we fucking suck.

Yeah, they read his lips. You can read it. Anyone can read it. That's me. Optic Halo 5. That's crazy. To be fair,

like, that's very self-aware and people should be like, well, at least he knows it. Did you ever get off of scrims and be like, I mean, some days,

Yeah. Oh, I had plenty of those in Halo 5. I love it. We fucking suck. It's clear as day. Still go out and give it your all, but you know when you just fucking suck. Yeah. And I, see if he almost got hurt as well.

I don't know. I want Dak to have like a crazy. Not like a comeback story, but kind of comeback story. Some people, some people like say that he's the problem. And then I see, I mean, I don't really watch. So I see some people say that he's not getting. any help. He's like one of the worst

defenses in the league right now. Oh yeah. I saw. I saw. I mean, he's, he's been playing iffy, but.

We were, we were at the race when the Hail Mary fucking thing happened. Oh, the commander's game. Oh my God. This guy's fucking

talking shit to the crowd. Not that that had anything to do with it, but still. That, that clip of like the defensive back, like talking shit and then he's the one that tipped it. Is it? He is the one that tipped it and then it got caught.

Instinct car. He's literally taped to the wall while it's happening. I'm like, bro, you got to see this. Dude just taped to the wall with a tape cock. And he kept saying, he kept bouncing up and down. He kept saying, look at it.

Look at it. And I was like, dude, stop to stop talking to me. What's a tape cock? He literally taped a cock. No, well, Nick. I had a black, or yeah, a black strip of tape, just like crumpled up two balls. Then one long, real long black piece of tape. And he kept saying, look at me.

Look at me. And I was like, dude, you are insane. He was literally going insane. You didn't think for like two seconds. Like, yeah, it'd be funny. but he was like bouncing up and down and it was doing this people loved it he looked like he literally looked like he like was in an asylum like he looked crazy the Halloween party we lost our minds that was what that was that was what I heard you talking about a little bit but I think I took

two shots and I were they were doubling it they were doubles is any point of those were definitely doubles. I was pissed drunk for 40, for 30 minutes. It was probably three, four shots within like 10 minutes. Wow. But then I like sobered up.

I think it was the exhaustion more than anything. Wow. Yeah. That's insane. I could not have drank here. I could maybe smoke, but drink, I definitely would not have been able to. Zinney brought it out and I was like,

nah. Yeah, but then like he was like, yeah, and Hitch was like, yeah, I'll take a Pam. Yeah,

I'll take one instead. I'll take. I'm like, I'm like trying to. And also we're trying not to drink around tush. I feel like that's how I, I wouldn't say that was because we had the bottle over his head. Oh, no, no, no.

I'm saying like the first five days. No, his head was here. I know he didn't care. I don't think so either. But I didn't, I didn't want to. If somebody has, if somebody had Adderall, like next to you do. No, right? It doesn't work that way, right?

No, it's not. You don't see it. I think there might be some freak cases where people and like people were trying to lock it up and shit. People were kind of calling it out and shit. chat how like we Tushua sitting there and we just have the alcohol bottle literally just passed around

like a cup would be right here smell this shit he's just sitting there filling up our cup he's going like this he did watch he watched me take a shot and he was like like he like zoned in on me and then I regurgitated it and he was like

oh yeah it's like how that one feel he's having fun with it too man he knows that's the way like it's not it's not it's not It's so much bigger than just seeing it, man. Of course. He has all the real issues and problems are going to be coming from when he's at home and ate and apax and then a golf thing where he usually drinks and it's like it's not going to be just seeing your friends.

Yeah, yeah. I did. I'm insanely proud of him too because he went through such like a two month thing. Literally changed his entire life. Got extreme. He looks way better in the face. He looks like he's like he's like he's like. he's like healthy and like fit now because he's two months of like nonstop like being fit nonstop like 90% to 100% of like a healthy sleep and then we threw him here the day after he

finished the day after he finished his program he came here so it was um two months long of like getting your life together and then we threw him to the fucking wolves so we threw him to the wall threw him to the wall so i'm i'm mad proud of him but yeah he's he's a fucking nutcase. Look at the smile. Dude, he loved. He liked that a little. This shit took what, 40 minutes? Yeah, it took so long. 40 minutes of four people were just strapping taped to him. There's a great idea, though. I never would have thought of this idea.

Who came up with this? Too shud. People in chat were like, this is a fire hazard. Get him off the wall. Like, they, what? Like he was going to start. And then I fed him one French fry and they were like, no, don't feed him while he's up there. They've seen too much greater anatomy. It does make sense. What? Coming from someone that has choked recently. I thought he was going to choke on the fry. Oh, my.

No, because you can punch him right there. Punch him in the diaphragm. Well, towards the end, he started fake dying. He would just put it that down. It was like 25 seconds. He was like, dude. He was literally just yapping. He was purposely not breathing so you can't sit.

He was just nonstop yapping. Like, ah, give me out of here. and then you just go down. It's so crazy. Yeah, he's a good. He's a good one, man. I can't wait for next years, man. I will be here next year.

You'll do it with us? No. I was about to say. You will just pop through every day. I will be more involved, though. That's what I'm saying. I will be here. Nobody came in and grilled you guys some motherfucking.

I kept hearing a mariachi band that was coming through. They never came through. Dude, mariachi, my bariachi band. I was going to fucking. It'll go off for my segment. Yeah, we could have had all that. The other thing is, though, is that- You could have gotten braids too?

I could have gotten braids. I don't know. Next year, we didn't really have, like, too many guests come in. Would you want more guests? I'd like to have guests. Yeah, I think guests would be fun. I don't know if, I don't know if guests sleeping there. Am I the only one?

Like they come in for like... They come in, they grab a hotel room, then they go back the next day. Like a night? Yeah, or like half a day. Yeah, because there was a couple... I guess we can talk about it now, but Zan almost got agent here. and then I almost got Timmy and clicks wanted to come through. Or not K, so sketch.

Sketch almost came through. So that's where we were trying to go with it. But there was just so many things going on. And you're like, let's just like, let's just survive this one. And then we'll go from here. Next year, I think we do it the exact same. We have days or night zero again. We do it the exact same way.

If there's a prestige. I mean, I'm assuming they're going to have like... Dude, it was so successful this year that like... And I don't know why they ever changed it. It had to be the biggest it ever was, right? What, like a release? Besides the Machinima days, the Black Ops one race was fucking electric. Oh, really?

With like, uh, Sark and all them. Sark Hutch Nanners. Like, that was like insane. Everyone was like a true race. Yeah, Sark came into, he came into the chat and he was like, you guys doing the original race, which. I didn't really understand, but I don't really know what he was. You still don't know.

Huh? You still don't know what he meant. Or the original race. Because I don't know what the fuck you, what do you mean by that? But he just came into chat and he was like, how are you guys doing it? You didn't watch the original race? No. Yeah, I guess not.

That shit was crazy. I was trying to stream snipe you guys playing. I got into one lobby. Bro, my body would get shot every death. You weren't a part of it, but you played with them. Because I stream sniped. I was in a lobby. It was like the race account.

It was like hutch, whiz, whiz, hex, someone else and I was the last on their team what the fuck yeah oh my gosh so you're you're what the stream snipers look like I mean back I guess when I was fucking 18 you're scurly here

I'm like no he knows he's about to go on a fucking tangent yeah right it happens once every He can get hype once every four years. It's his Super Bowl. It is like his Super Bowl.

He's always been vocal with it. And to be honest, I haven't paid much attention, but he's on my timeline now. And like I'll look at people replying to him and his YouTube channel. Ricky Banks posted what he posted, which is like, I've been a Democrat all my life, but lately blah, blah, blah. You know, a lot of things that Democrats or, you know,

traditional Democrats have been doing, right? Hutch first first was like can you point me towards the analytics that points towards the highest to banks banks banks the banks didn't read none of it he just posted and then left to go live a fucking wild ass life and shit I love how he posted the picture of Trump with grills on yeah it's such a bank's tweet what he said that to or sent that yeah like he look and then that's the picture he posted saying he's going to vote for Trump iced out Wait, did he respond to Hutch?

No, this is, Hutch responding to him. I've made a Democrat my entire life and then bam. Like, this is why I'm voting for Trump. I just, I don't know, man. I'm almost out of mindset and I'm going to get shit for this to where it's like, doesn't matter what puppet is up there for me. Is that the real, the real guy? Hassan B.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. What do he say? Yeah, 1.5. He says, I'm still phased up, even though I don't agree with this. And then keep going down, keep going down, let me see what else. I like Connor's tweet. How do I re-vote?

I already voted for Kamala phase up. That's my favorite response. That shit is hilarious. Are you ever allowed to re-vote? No. Like, damn, I fucked off. You just vote for both? The thing is, again, it's all distractions, man.

Aren't you balding? Actions. Like, too. L. Donald. Oh, don't. Raid the swan. Damn, so that means the next time we do this pod, there will be a different president.

A different president. Yes. Going to be all different. And we can talk about it more then. Hell yeah. I want everybody, as you are watching this, look at where you're sitting or how are you consuming and then look around you immediately and see what changed since you voted.

And then wait a year and, do the exact same thing and then ask yourself what changed since you voted okay period get out there get fucking working oh yeah get out there and get working that's your

yeah man no one's coming to rescue no one's coming to save us we gotta take care of ourselves here be kind to each other respect each other fucking just focus up put it in God's hand I love that man

You've been on that. Chess and Bible. Chess in Bible. One ruins my night. One brings my night life. Since you brought it up, like, when did the whole? Bible shit? Yeah, what, what you say?

Bible shit. Oh, I think it said Bible pushing. No, but what made you pick up and start reading? Um, I kind of forget. Like, two months ago, I think I had some stuff in my head of like, I think this has sort of led me here. but I think I was just going through like a rough patch and I kept seeing signs and then my what kind of signs. I don't remember.

And that's like what I'm talking about to where like some stuff was happening. Like I was seeing signs like maybe it was like a Jesus poster here bumper sticker. Like I'd be talking about it on my chat and boom right in front of me a bumper sticker like talking about exactly what I'm. And then grandma died. I visited home. My best friend who's like one of my favorite people in the world. He's given his name. Jeff Ryan. He's given his life to Christ and he's completely changed. And he's just like the all

American good husband, wife, kids, like just like a perfect human. And like he's he's gone into that. And like we had no plans of talking about any of that shit. But it was just like the timing of like I started looking into it. Then I go home to visit. I haven't seen him in eight years. He starts preaching to me about it. Then I think he mentions like try the Bible. let's do some of this together. Also, you can listen to sermons on YouTube. And I was like, I'm at a point where it's like, not that I was so low or so depressed or anything like that

and looking for anything to save me. It just, it was almost like that. But it just felt like there was a void that was missing. And I didn't, I just didn't know what to do. And I always felt like there was some spiritual energy in the fucking universe. I just didn't know how I thought of God was what everyone else thinks of God. and then just started using the Bible app and it would just, I don't know,

it's just really good stuff to read to like set my mind and put my mind in the right space in the mornings at night. If I have worries, I always say I'll just, I give it to the universe. Regardless, this could be,

I could come in here, embarrass myself on the podcast to be the worst podcast ever, but like everything's going to be fine regardless. The universe has my back. The universe works for me. And instead of universe, you can say God.

because I've always said universe my whole life talking about like spiritual shit but now it's sort of shifting to to a god and I don't know it's a lot to no I don't know it's obviously a lot yeah let's fucking bible is a lot to wrap your head around but um it's it's sort of I guess just started my journey not necessarily spiritually but biblically and it just and what it's truly done since I've started doing this Bible app stuff and really and like saying sort of these affirmations and memorizing some sermons and but saying these affirmations every morning every night and making sure I do this and give time to God I've noticed my life like I always pray for relieve me of my anxieties my depressions give me some sort of peace today and I've noticed

sense doing that not just the prayer but like with everything else since doing that which was probably like twoish a month ago maybe a month and a half ago my life actually has been better i felt more peaceful i've just the day to day not like what i'm doing in my life is much different but just like the day to day of even if i say i don't have a good stream i'm like still fine with it Like I'm not that those type of like little weird stressors I'm fine with my anxiety of Walking into the dentist office and like talking to these new people like I don't know just little shit like that like I walk in and I'm like like I will be fine regardless like the universe has my back Yeah, like sure you're spiritually healthier and it's yeah. I don't know I think it's filled a void a little bit and Yeah, it's just I think gave me confidence
