And then he looks at me and goes, I know what you just did.
I'm like this.
Oh, bro, I wish you guys are at Uchi, but he tweeted about it.
So I get Chipotle.
I get Chipotle for all of us for the watch party every day.
So me and him were at a bar eating.
And I was like, you know what I've been doing?
I was like, I've been getting you double rice and everything from Chipotle to try and make you as big as possible.
And he was like, I'm kidding.
Dude, it was fucking hilarious at the moment, dude.
I was like double rice, double rice, double cold.
corn double sour cream.
He was like, bro, what?
I was like,
I was like,
I'm going to.
Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to episode 175 of the optic podcast.
This episode is brought me by Shopify,
Better Help, Mountain Dew.
And we'll tell you a little bit more about them later on in the podcast.
We have, to my left, my man, money biscuit.
Note, note the color of this.
This is not a black hoodie.
There it is.
He's got pink sweatpants.
That's part of the,
the spring drop, huh?
That is part of the spring drop coming soon.
Actually, it's already live.
We got my man.
Obviously, we have a big scumper jumper on the right.
Moustache is looking great.
About to go get a haircut, hopefully later.
Haircut at two today.
Day before Toronto.
Getting right before Toronto.
Got to get the haircut.
You know what I'm saying?
And then, of course, all the way in the end, we have my man, Methods, Zinney, Ant Thinney Method, Zini.
I'm pretty banged up.
Yeah?
Yeah.
A little hangy?
We went to the Charles last night
Went to a sports bar
To watch the stars and the Mavs
Stars are unreal by the way
They actually might go win the cup
But yeah I need to stop
I need to retire from drinking
Okay well that's it's a bad time
Because we leave for Toronto
We leave for tomorrow tomorrow
The boys leave today right
The boys leave today
Everybody's paying for their own meals
When we're out there
It's gonna be a fucking great time
I have no problem with that
I know you don't got a problem with
I mean, it would be cool if the company covered one, but I got no problem paying for the other ones.
Deal.
The company, how about this?
Let's put the baby right in the middle.
Okay, I'll cover two.
Two?
Two dinners.
That's better than one.
I'll take two.
And then the rest of you guys pay for your own.
Easy.
I just want to see it happen.
Sure.
I just want to see it happen.
Dude, what do you mean?
Fucking the last event, didn't we cover ours every single at the last event at Boston?
Because he didn't come.
Yeah, but we still come.
No, he came to Boston.
Damn.
He don't even remember you being there.
No, where did you?
Yeah, we went to two places back there.
Italian place and the...
Yeah, no.
I don't think we paid for one in the...
The fuck are y'all talking about.
I don't think we paid for water and...
I don't remember because I just...
It's just like, it doesn't matter.
No, we did at the Gordham spot.
Oh, well, he wasn't there yet.
Okay.
Hmm.
I forget.
I think you flew in the day later.
I forget what it was.
Something like that.
Papa's always there.
Okay.
Embo's hit me up yesterday and he said,
hey, let's go shopping as soon as we land.
Are you in?
You're not in.
Are you in?
We should probably go.
We're not going to, we land at like five.
It depends where we're going.
We should probably go the Thursday morning before the games because they started at 1.30.
We should go like 10 a.m.
Done.
Done.
I already know where we're going.
No, games start.
We land like 4.30 traffic.
Yeah.
Games start at 1.30 every day.
Stores open at 10.
We'll be back by 12.
Yeah.
We'll be, yeah.
Listen, it'll be, we'll figure it out.
The one thing that we know for sure is that we're going to have a.
a banging time out there in Toronto.
Toronto, what a city.
It is gorgeous.
It is full of life, full of flavor, all sorts.
You know what I'm saying?
Melting pot.
I always say, Toronto is my second favorite event other than ours that is thrown every year.
I'm glad they, I'm glad that they're like in the rotation of getting a major every year because A,
the city's fucking dope.
Be the venue that they, that they play at is dope.
And they just, it's a fun event every year.
They know how to throw a fun event.
Yeah.
I'm excited, man.
I love going to Toronto.
I mean, Boston was fucking dope, too.
I didn't get to go to Boston last year.
Boston was sick to.
Boston was sick, too.
What was the name of that restaurant in the alley?
Yvonne's?
Yvonne's.
Damn.
Oh, my God.
That place is unbelievable.
What was that other Italians?
I went to by the water when we were in Miami.
Oh, with the fucking, the gangster?
Yeah.
I forgot about that.
Yeah, not a mobster, a fucking monster.
No, he was a mobster.
What did he say?
He was.
He was.
He was, like, follow my wife into the kitchen.
I'll take you out back, cut your fucking neck open.
Dude, he was on one.
What do you say?
He was valid.
No, say it again?
Say it in.
He wanted everyone to know, like, he was.
That was his girl.
Yeah, he was like Italian.
Oh, the Miami guy?
Yeah, yeah.
He was going out of his way.
Bro.
No, no shit he was saying.
I wish we could say it on camera, just so they could understand how crazy this guy was.
But he was just like, she got me eating by the water.
I fucking jaw was about to come my mom.
bite me. I was like, dude, what are you talking about?
Yeah, he was, they were, they were having a good time.
He was like saying things that, like, haven't been socially acceptable, really ever.
Just screaming it in the restaurant.
And nobody said on to him to shut the fuck up.
He started talking to us.
I wasn't stepping to him.
He fucking squared up with us.
I came back from the bathroom.
He was squaring with them.
Tall guy, big guy, short guy.
Oh, he was just drunk, like, just talking to us, like normally.
He wasn't.
He wasn't like mean.
He wasn't like mean.
He wasn't like mean.
He didn't just knock them out.
I'm just saying, period.
It was crazy, though, is like usually, like,
didn't he invite us out?
If I ever got like that.
Wait, so when you say he was stepping up to you guys,
what do you mean he was stepping up?
No, he was talking about.
He was just piping up.
He wasn't, like, disrespectful or mean to us.
Gotcha, gotcha, got you.
But it just, you would think that, like,
if I was going crazy at a restaurant one night,
screaming and just saying stupid shit,
my girl would be very embarrassed.
She'd be like, what's wrong with you?
This girl was loving it.
She was like, ah, I was like,
oh, I was like, what the fuck?
I didn't care.
It was like Bonnie and Clyde of just lunatics.
It was hilarious.
What was the name of the restaurant that we went to where the cat,
that he kept on seeing a cat or like a dog or something?
Brico was fine.
We didn't believe him.
He was like, is that a dog?
No, I did.
I believe it.
It was like a puppy.
I'm like, the fuck.
Yeah, yeah.
Like I saw something fly across.
It couldn't catch his balance.
So it was like, and then it just,
I'm like, what the fuck was that?
He ran right under my seat, jumped on Hector's seat because I think you were in the bathroom and just,
or whoever was sitting next to me.
Oh, Bose, Bose, Bose, Bose.
Was it you? He jumped the cat.
Because we were sitting across from each other.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then he ran across.
Just a little cat.
Just a little boy.
A little cat.
And then we saw the picture of him later that night on Twitter.
That was crazy.
Oh, you do.
You tagged me?
No.
Small.
He didn't see small world, man.
Like one of those Boston accounts that like just cover all Boston.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The cat.
That's awesome.
Do you follow a Chicago Critter?
Who do you follow?
I mean, obviously Dallas, Texas TV.
All Dallas stuff.
Yeah.
What about Chicago?
Nah, nothing.
Dude.
Just, uh, just, uh,
Follow Chicago Critter TV.
What is that?
It's like that Dallas, but it's, it's, you like it's, you like it's what you love to do.
You don't like to do that, but you like to watch that shit.
I was telling them, the place that we're going to, this Mexican spot that we're going to after this, this, this, this podcast is, it's nice, right?
It's, it screams.
We're all going to.
Can't wait.
No, I don't think so.
Unless you want to, you can.
You got to take an Uber back, though.
Oh, it's not local.
But Boe said it's nuts.
Oh, it's the place in Plano?
Yeah.
But it's like east plain up.
I'm not going to that.
Yeah, he's not.
He's not going to play now.
He's banged up today.
Yeah, although this would help.
I don't know why I do this, though.
It's like, I do the same thing every time.
I know I know the end result and I still do it.
It's literally insanity.
What?
I know I'm going to wake up feeling like shit.
I know I'm going to be a fucking fool.
Okay.
And I just, every time drink?
Yeah.
The good thing about that is you are not alone.
A lot of people do that.
You're not alone.
Including me.
You were not yet a woman.
Because you have four old fashions at dinner.
I'm like, oh, my God.
All shitting, throwing up, threw out.
Three?
Throughout my knee and then had to sleep on the bathroom floor.
Okay, time out.
So you were sitting down.
Taking a shit.
Taking a shit while throwing up into what?
Into the tub?
Jesus.
Into the garbage bin.
Into the garbage bag.
This was last night.
And you broke your knee?
Oh, I was going to say.
You broke your knee while taking a shit and puking.
So after I was.
After I got done, I had to just sleep on the floor.
Sorry to anyone that's eating right now.
No, see, right there.
You added your own part of it.
That was your own assumption.
Oh, Mark's hilarious.
How do you sleep on the floor?
I've never slept on the floor.
This guy sleeps in the shower.
Why?
You, when you pass out, drunk?
No, that does not happen.
That one photo of you is still my favorite,
where you're just on the floor, just in the middle of the bathroom,
just like passed out.
You know, you're a bit rough shot.
shape you got to be to be on your bathroom floor face down.
Your bed's like four feet away.
Listen, man, there's nothing wrong with knowing how to get after.
It does make for the best stories, though.
Like, whenever, like, it just makes for the...
And an aquatic night has not happened in a very long.
An aquatic night.
A aquatic night.
It's not happening.
I haven't had an aquatic knife since, uh, night since, uh, MLG Atlanta.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Aquatic night is great.
That's what his call.
That's hilarious.
He says, she says he's, he's doing his aquatics.
Yeah.
Anyway, that's good.
All right.
So what do we got here?
We're going to Toronto tomorrow, as we mentioned.
What's up with?
Are you going to redo the show?
Are you going to do the show again?
The 20V1?
I thought it was great.
Yeah, I got some ideas.
I do want to publicly won two things.
I want to give two awards.
I want to give you an award for always being on time, unlike these fucking two.
Wait, I was, what?
I walked in with him today.
Wait, what?
Wait, he walked in with you?
I walked in with the fridges and got a water.
I walked in.
Dan, you were setting them up.
I walked in four minutes late.
Okay, that's late.
Coming from Frisco, that is not bad.
Same neighborhood and I'll see her before you.
They, you come here to fucking work.
Every day.
What are you saying?
Huh?
These motherfuckers live here.
They were late.
It'd be a crime to be late.
All right.
So 20B1, congratulations.
I thought the show was great.
I walked away from the show to go to bed right when
the last lady said that she just left because she was she was waiting so long as she left.
Yeah.
And then after that, I didn't really follow through or catch up a little slow.
I was definitely.
You did good, man.
I was like, my favorite parts in the beginning was when people were like, shut it, Zinn.
Well, because, well.
You did some haters you get there.
I hate when Chad does.
I know.
That's why.
When they tell you to shut up on stream, it's like, there's definitely different dynamics
with different people.
Like, for example, it's like, I felt like I got to need to.
rarely do a lot with Brandon because Brandon can hold a conversation and sort of talk and I tried
to set things up and what I was really looking for is like just trying to make sure it wasn't stale.
Like the first couple girls was a bit slow.
Then when the, wait, the duress that.
What?
Like the first couple girls like it was just like a little like.
The conversation was going to the slow.
It was just like too serious kind of felt like.
Yeah.
But then the two girls on one camera came on and I feel like that just shifted the entire energy of the show.
Yeah.
MVP's.
But it was.
It was a lot of fun.
You did good, man.
Obviously, Brandon, I mean, he's...
So in the end, did Brandon find love?
Or a spark of love?
There was a winner.
I have no idea if he's actually reaching out.
What do you think?
Like, at the end of the day, those things really are for everyone's enjoyment.
Those things are definitely all for enjoyment.
I don't know.
What's to clear it up?
Like, for example, like, I don't think, like, some girl had a boyfriend on it.
Some girl had a kid that she was hiding and a husband.
But, like, at the end of the day,
Like, as long as the boyfriend's okay with it, I think that's fair game because it really is all for content and enjoyment.
It's not like, wow, I can't believe you'd go on that if you have a boyfriend.
Like, if anything, it's a saturated space.
Fuck, no.
Okay.
What about you?
You would?
For content?
Yeah, but like not saying crazy shit.
Or content.
It's one thing.
The Bachelor does, the girls do that shit on The Bachelor.
They'll fly out to the show and then they'll find out like mid-show.
they're like, you have a boyfriend and then they'll just leave.
But I think it's set up.
Like on the actual Bachelor.
Now, that's crazy because they're like kissing on that show and shit.
That's crazy.
Well, maybe not the ones that have the boyfriend.
On the Bachelor?
Going on the show.
They make it deep with a boyfriend.
I'm better if she's.
See, you can't, I couldn't do it.
But, you know, to each their own.
You know what?
I'm insecure.
Yeah, I'm insecure.
So what?
Yes, I am.
I would not.
I would not allow that.
No judging here. I'm just saying what I wouldn't do. But it was cool. Again, I thought the entire show was good. A lot of buzz in the community talking about it.
That's what I like to see. It was like back-to-back nights of like the cod community popping because Kassan through his tournament, he got like, I mean, he got an insane cast. I mean, like the fact that he got sketched and all those guys, it was like, so we had that the night before. Then the 20 view won. So it was like 48 hours of pure like cod talk and like the cod community just like it was a lot of fun. I'm going to do it again.
I'm figuring out how I want to do it.
Who's next?
I don't want to, I'll tell you after the show.
Oh, you have an idea?
Oh, I have two ideas.
Do you have them locked in yet or just an idea?
No, they're just ideas.
Well, one, I threw a floater out and this person is thinking about it.
The other one I haven't reached out yet.
But these, I think, would be like, like fucking hilarious.
So we'll see.
I don't want to, when I get back from Toronto, I'm going to start planning that.
And I want to do more like shit like that, not just dating shows.
but like just bigger things.
Like I've been thinking about content in general.
Like even MLB is getting stale already.
So it's like,
how do you create these high impact moments for yourself and the community?
And it's like I think the dating show is great,
but more like event things like that.
See, like what Kai does is so like just good.
Like I'm going to segue it into his little Eldon Ring playthrough.
But like he generated so much hype for the playthrough for a game that's already been played.
Granted, it's like one of the best games of all time.
It's great because he's shit and he's so into it.
And it's like watching him die in his reactions.
Like I think that's what makes.
And like then you have the background.
It's like it's like a Hollywood production.
I feel like, see, the problem is I feel like I've played every game.
So like Eldon Ring I beat off stream.
Like all the big games, I've played them already.
But like that idea right there, it would be so fun.
But yeah, I know what you're saying.
Where?
Oh, Kai's, oh, oh, yeah.
Well, he's also, that guy's also, like that guy hasn't let his foot off.
the gas. Like, he just, he's like the one
streamer that I actually think I watch, besides, like,
my friends. Like, he's the one
streamer that I'll, like, that I don't know personally, that I'll
tune in two to watch. I'll watch, like, you, Zuma,
I'll watch, like, my boys, but like...
I have a couple. I have, like, him. Oh, what the
fuck? Bro. And then, and then...
That's crazy. And then he sleeps on
camera. So, you see him every step
of the way. There is no...
He's so dedicated to...
Does he sleep on that throne? He sleeps...
I think he pulls a mattress in.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
That's cool.
Wait, what does 86,809 mean?
His subs.
How many subs are you?
No, but like what does that mean?
It meant how many subs he has?
No.
Yeah.
86,000 people sub to him?
Yeah.
Fuck out of.
The fucking beautiful check.
He's in a hundred now.
No.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Good for them, man.
Ninety-nine thousand subs.
Is this right now?
What the fuck?
This is live right now?
Dude
I thought he beat him already
See like I'm so jealous of the fact
That he hasn't played like I'm jealous of everyone
That has not played Eldon Ring yet
And they have that in their fucking bag
To be able to go back
Because it's one of the best games ever
Really?
Dude what?
Is it really?
Dude
Like do you think I would enjoy it?
This is a this it's a top
It might be one of it might be the best game ever made
For like a single player
For story yeah
It's like Minecraft?
I mean, Minecraft's a different genre.
Single player?
It's a different genre.
This is like an adventure.
Like a role playing game.
This is like an adventure.
Really?
It's so great.
It's like your character in a movie.
It's not linear so you can go to like different areas.
Whatever you want.
Yeah, it's like you don't have to follow a certain line.
You kind of like explore it.
It's also one of the hardest games ever, right?
Or like isn't it pretty hard?
The learning curve is hard.
But once you get it down, it's not like.
Because like you'll over level to a certain.
Like if you just, like, if you just,
just play the game and over level, you'll fight bosses that you're over-leveled for and you'll
just slam them. The end game is hard. It's just funny because like he's not, like, he's a gamer,
but he's not like a gamer gamer, he's not like beating all these games. Like, like, if you did
100 hours on Eldon Ring, you probably finish it in how long. I actually looked at how long it
took me. It took me 60, it took me around 60 hours, like off stream when I, when I played it.
His might be like 200 hours because he fought the same. There's like a, there's like a boss.
in the beginning that I think you're supposed to skip.
I never played the game.
There's a couple bosses you have to like.
He died to it 500 times in a row.
Oh yeah, the tree said.
Just 500.
And all of Twitter was tweeting about it.
Like, it just hilarious.
Yeah, so that boss, like I said...
840 deaths?
Yeah.
I mean, that's not...
I mean, that's not that crazy.
Like, it's, you'll die a lot on certain bosses.
It's a lot of deaths.
A lot of deaths.
A lot of deaths. Yeah, I don't know, man.
But yeah, I mean, if you ever...
If you ever want to play a game,
play that game.
If you want to play like a single player game, play that.
You know what I've been wanting to do?
The DLC comes out actually soon too for it.
What I've been wanting to do is those racing simulators, but not to race, just a cruise.
And yeah, I'll race to.
Drive around?
Just drive around.
You do that shit in real life.
This is random.
So my girl just graduated.
So we went to like some college bars by her just to like the other places she used to go.
There was like an arcade bar.
And I was just sitting there playing Godzilla pinball for an hour locked in.
They were all talking bullshit and I didn't talk for an hour.
I was just playing Godzilla pinball.
This guy was at a club playing video games.
Go on, nerd.
Finish.
Oh, what?
It was a video game bar.
And then I was like, you know what?
I was like, let me look at how much it costs.
I'm going to fucking buy one for my house one day.
Okay.
Oh.
No, $8,000.
Yeah, for like an antique, like actual pinball.
What's in?
We're going to get, we each get one of those in there, right?
Yeah, you're going to see me and Mark one day just carried out a pinball machine.
Dude, those are so heavy.
I'm getting.
One of the couch?
Two of them for the theater.
I'd like to see you try.
Come on, man.
Just why?
Why?
I'll sell it.
The company can't just give you free shit.
I mean, those basically are ours.
We sit on them.
I'm fucking farting on it all day.
Okay, you can have it.
Yeah.
Those are our chairs.
You farting yours?
You farting yours?
Oh my God.
You guys can have it.
I mean, dude, we're sitting there for fucking five hours three times a week for the past six months.
It's like roulette.
It's like roulette because they're most.
mostly you're like silent and you can't smell them but sometimes you get caught
like other day i caught him i was like dude you're fucking just he looked he looked at mark
first at first i played mark i did this i went you fucking god not and then he looks at me he goes
i know what you just did i'm like this oh bro i wish you guys are uchi but he tweeted about it
so i get chipotle i get chipotle for all of us for the watch party every day so me and him
we're at a bar eating and I was like you know what I've been doing I was I've been getting you
double rice and everything from Chipotle to try and make you as big as possible and he was like
I was like I'm kidding dude it was fucking hilarious in the moment dude I was like double rice
double corn double sour cream he was like bro what I was like oh that's so funny oh it's good
but let's talk some cod yes let's do it optic Texas they beat the thieves it was a good series
thieves have looked solid.
Is this the tournament
that they win?
They're due.
I hope so.
They're due won.
I hope so.
The reality is, I think Faze is going to be in the final.
I think they just look too crazy right now.
And I think it's be a rematch in Miami.
I think it's going to be us in Fais in the final.
I agree.
Just to be honest.
I kind of feel like top three is, I think Ultra is going to be third.
I think the only other team
New York's the wild card, I think.
Might beat us is Ultra.
I don't even know if they...
I don't know.
I don't think Ultra's been consistent enough like...
I mean, but they could beat us.
Like Dill.
It's possible.
Yeah, but I don't think...
Dill hasn't been there against the top teams.
I could be tripping, but I feel like
Insight's been a little inconsistent.
Clean X and Scrap have stayed consistent through and through.
So those guys are always threats.
So I think Ultra is pretty contingent on insight
and Envoy's play when it comes like the top three,
top four teams.
Yeah.
I also think...
I think we play up to competition.
Like, after watching every match I've seen this year,
And I also think sometimes we play down to competition, which isn't good.
But so, like, I always think that us and Faze will be a good match.
I think us and Ultra will be a good match because I think our team matches teams very well at the top level.
Then unfortunately, I feel like sometimes we like fuck around.
I had a feeling before Miami.
We went.
We got second.
I got a feeling for this one as well.
I think we're just due one.
I think we're due one.
I hope it's Toronto, because Toronto would be the most.
lit major to win in terms of obviously champs would be the best but it would be the most lit major
in terms of like the live atmosphere of winning the tournament because we're not throwing a major
obviously if we threw one it would be better but it's also just we have a beautiful view of
the stage and the fans so it's like it's like the perfect immersive experience for the watch
party come on man it would be so dope if they won because yeah we're we're right there just fucking
I mean, you'll be able, we could literally run down those stairs, boom, we're at the stage.
That's what we're going to do.
That shit would be so sick.
Riley will grab the camera and fucking point it at us.
So I hope this is the one.
We don't have to talk about it too much.
I think that'd be sick.
We had like a free camera.
Like before I joined, I remember I was watching the watch party and you guys had like a free cam
where you guys would walk around this office a little bit.
Yeah.
I feel like that's so dope.
Imagine that a major.
It was my idea.
And then they threw it out.
Why, Matt?
Why did you throw it out?
At you?
The concept, the concept, remember in the Huntsman, we had the Huntsman pre-show?
Yeah.
I remember that.
We used to.
That's when you welcome Nick back to Optic, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I remember, I watched that shit.
Yeah, so.
Huntsman pre-show is fire.
Thank you, man.
Ahead of my time.
What?
Ahead of the game.
You're ahead of the game, man.
That's what we should do, man.
But yeah, I think it's going to be a battle between us and phase again.
If we, if we win our round one and Toronto wins round one, we play each other in
semis, so that'll be a good little test.
The first match is crazy too.
Oh, yeah.
New York Thieves? Yeah, New York Thieves is going to be good.
I mean, right now they're like four or five.
If thieves win, that's going to set the tone
for them. For thieves and
also for subliners.
Subliners are either going to do
what they got to do or that's going to affect them so much
that they're just going to be like fuzzy
the whole time? I mean, I'm not going to lie. Phase is probably going to
walk through that side of the bracket. Yeah, no, I think
phase walks through. Yeah. But I think
they're probably going to walk through. I think contrary to other
tournaments. I think this is the first time where I see actually like a couple teams that have
upset potential now. I think Seattle. I mean, Carolina has upset. We got to play good against Carolina.
Seattle and then thieves I think are like my three. Vegas are still confusing to me because I don't
know I don't know how this O'Johnny change is going to work. Yeah. Well, they look good in HPs. They didn't
look terrible. They look good in HPs, but not, I mean, they won map five against Boston, but it's Boston.
Heretics are in a tough one. Heretics are going to lose 3-0 and go 0-15.
They're in a tough one.
And then they, wait, scrolled out a little mat.
Heretics are going to drop and play Legion.
That's not an easy match.
They might, I mean, they got to get one map for Heretics.
Because Legion, Legion depending on this change.
19 and no, is it possible?
No, heretics have not won a map on land this year.
They're going to be 0 and 12 right now.
O and 12.
They have potential to go phase.
Oh, and 18.
Oh, and 18.
Which would be, that would be catastrophic.
It's going to be a dope tournament to watch.
I can't wait to go, man.
I hope that doesn't happen to him.
I feel like this is the,
the best comp we've seen going like into a land this year like there's there's a couple there's
multiple upset potential teams um and then obviously the top teams are the top team so i feel like
i feel like this one's going to be lit it's going to be a lot of fun i could agree uh yeah i'm i'm
excited i'm actually kind of hyped to go back to i something about toronto man just like it's
just i go walking in the morning dude it's the best man walking in the morning is dope come back
take a shower, go get breakfast with Brandon usually.
Some Timmies?
No, we go to this one breakfast spot.
L'Epepa?
Huh?
So, pass.
So, passo.
So do that.
And then they'll go off.
On Friday, I am painting a wall,
which is going to be the first time
that I've ever painted graffiti in Toronto.
In Canada, I'm fucking super hype about it.
Oh, wait, quick question.
So that's what I wanted to come.
You can come and help me.
That's what I also wanted to.
So remember we drove by your shit in Miami?
Yeah.
So how, like, what are they just giving you, like saying,
we want you to do this?
How does that work?
No, no, no, we just, we get permission for the wall and then we just paint it.
Whatever we want.
Like whoever owns whatever.
Yeah, whoever owns the building, they'll be like, yeah, you can borrow the wall.
We paint it and then.
They get a cool art piece.
They erase that shit right away.
Oh, really?
The one in Miami, the one that was in coconuts.
Oh, they erased it?
Yeah, it was gone.
But you know how I went back like two weeks after that with my family?
It was gone.
I want to show Liv because Liv has never seen one of my paintings on a wall.
Yeah, that shit was fire because we were randomly driving with the window down.
And I'm like, oh shit.
Like catching a Pokemon.
Oh, dude.
It was the top left one, right?
Yeah, the top left.
Bro, I don't know how you guys do this in this short amount of time.
Mike, man, Omen's.
Like, I don't know.
Like, this to me looks like this takes days.
That shit is fucking fire.
Yeah, he snapped.
Yeah, that goes short.
I mean, I was like his assistant.
on this one. I was just like filling in
all the green and doing... Let's get some shit
like that on some merch, man. I kind of
understand how like... Yeah?
What do you mean?
Yeah, what's all the villains's merch?
Everybody's asking for villains'
that's a fucking moment's question.
I would buy that immediately. I fuck with villains
brand heavy. Yeah, I don't know why you
haven't put it on that. Yo, I don't know why
you haven't put it on merch. Yo, tell about
our, the R&L designs that...
Oh yeah, you're snapping. Dude, I'm...
Yeah, I'm at, I was, like I said, I was
impressed with you got something going on

But so design, I designed it, but like, omens fucking help me with like the graphics and all that.
But we got some incense.
The incense holders are fire.
Is it an R&L hex drop?
Yeah.
When is it?
When's that?
May.
May.
Somewhere.
Or.
Eapie.
End of this month.
End of this month.
End of this month.
It won't be during a watch party.
So be do pay attention.
And then Seth and I have one.
Whenever me and Zinn do one, it's going to be fucking.
fire too. I'll design it. Wait, when are you guys doing the um
the whatnot? Yeah. Way when we come back. Oh, for real? Yeah, because I, I, we came up with
we showed it on the screen, but like that design came like so late that I was just like, yo, we should
just wait. Had to order skateboards. Had to order like a whole bunch of other shit, but it's
got to be fucking fired. It's going to be shoes. It's going to be that. It's going to be that.
Cool shit all around. Cool shit all around. Hell yeah. I'm psyched about it. But yeah,
like on there, someone could be like if they went out.
if they get the item, they could be like, yo, could come sign it?
Yeah.
Yeah, we try not to sign a lot of the stuff, obviously, because it's like, well, yeah, like, I also don't, you know, his, his signature is valuable.
We don't, we don't want to oversaturate it.
So we'll sign a couple of them for sure.
Oh, Toronto, meet and greet, Sunday at noon.
Sunday at noon, for anybody that wants to meet us.
The boys.
Yeah, it's Sunday at noon.
I'm pretty sure.
I say it, it's not 100% locked in, but it's like 90.
95%.
90, 95%.
But the 5%,
like has,
the 5%
just so you guys
understand
like we are
sometimes at the mercy
of one,
the venue,
two of the tournament
organizer
and three
the watch park.
Yeah,
the schedule
of the watch part.
Yeah.
So,
well, yeah,
so doors open
at noon
and there's really
no time for us
to do it unless
we did it off site,
but I mean,
I would rather do it
on site.
The doors open at noon
I think on Sunday.
So it's like
the doors open
come to the meet
and greet.
it's from 12 to 1
and then we got to go
start setting up for obviously
championship.
Dude,
I am actually very fucking hype
to go back to Toronto.
I'm actually like looking forward to it.
It's not a drag.
It's the best,
man.
Weather's gonna be nice.
We're going to Maddie Mathes
restaurant.
Whoa,
whoa,
time out.
One of the nights.
Let me set it up for you.
Go ahead.
It's not warm out there.
It's like 50 to 60.
Is it?
Yeah.
And Toronto right now?
That's like perfect.
Are you sure?
A hundred percent.
My,
if it's,
if it's changed,
I got a repack.
Let me tell you right now.
You're already packed. Of course.
Right now it's 65.
You start packing or preparing the day that you know you have a trip coming.
It's like 70 degrees.
Even if it's months ahead.
It's what?
65, 69, 66, 68.
You're tripping for that.
So it's high 60.
Marbles.
Yeah, that's insane.
The day you know you're going on a trip, what if you know it a month out?
You're already ready?
Yeah.
Well, you know, you start putting.
You start putting your stuff away, yeah.
See, like, I mean, that's good that you care about your style and shit, but I just can't
arst.
Yeah, it's like,
I'm throwing on some Lulus
and a fucking sweatshirt
some more now.
Yeah.
So we're going shopping.
We're going to shopping.
We're going to go to Keth.
We're going to go to
Dothoan Island.
Yeah.
I won't be going to stone.
I told you we're going to redo the video.
Dude,
I'm going to take you shopping.
I'm going to stony.
The makeover.
Donie bros.
Those the,
is that the stuff?
That's fire.
You like that?
Yeah, I do.
Yeah, 100%.
Um, so obviously being the foodies that we are, maybe not Mark because he doesn't eat fish.
What?
What?
You eat fish all of a sudden?
Sushi.
Yeah.
Well, no, not sushi.
See, see, see?
I eat fish.
As long as it's fried.
No.
No grilled.
Yeah.
Not raw.
No raw.
No raw shit.
Like, that's not crazy.
Oh, my God.
That's not crazy.
I think you'll come around.
Like, if you keep trying, I was the same way.
I ate some raw shit.
And, like, I just.
don't understand how it's not better cooked.
No, I get it.
That's fair.
Like, I tried it.
I ate it.
It was decent.
Like,
there was nothing wrong with it.
But I'm just like,
I don't get it.
We over-ordered at that one restaurant in Miami.
Well,
yeah,
well,
well,
the issue was there were just a couple eaters with us
that don't eat certain things.
Like,
like,
that place for him is tough
because a lot of that stuff is raw.
Yeah.
So it's like,
you do have to...
We went rogue at that place.
Well,
we always over-order, bro.
Are you,
listen,
your eyes are always bigger
in your stomach. And if it's in front of me, I'm going to eat it, no matter how full I am.
You also, the other thing is that he wasn't eating because he thought he was going to be on a
yacht with fucking Drake.
Ooh.
You.
Remember that night?
Dude, Matt Craig.
Matt Craig hit me with the craziest.
Okay.
Yes.
Here pressure.
Thank you for bringing it up.
He was like, it's totally not going to be awesome.
Time out.
Time out.
Time out.
And then it ended up.
Hold on.
Hold on.
I want you.
Hold on.
Don't even say anything more because I talked about this last week about how apparently Matt is like a
the best, what do you say?
How do you say?
Peer pressure.
Yeah, the best peer pressure ever.
We're going to say hello to the sponsors real quickly and then I want you to tell
the world how good he is at peer pressure.
Ladies and gentlemen, part of the interruption, I do want to say hello to our sponsors this
week.

Okay. We're in Miami. Yeah. Backyard.
So we're in Miami.
Five, six, just a million.
We're in Miami.
All the boys, we go out, we get dinner after the watch party, which is pretty normal.
You know, we usually, we'll do a couple nice dinners while we're in different cities just because, I mean, that's our thing.
So we go out to dinner, we go to this nice Asian-inspired place.
It was really fucking good.
And they start talking.
These two start talking.
They're like, yo, my boy says he's on a boat and Drake's pulling up.
What was the place called?
Kiki on the B.
Kiki on the river.
Kiki on the river.
But that was just an added plus.
The real reason we wanted to go is because our boys and one of my boys from Toronto was on this boat.
Yes.
And they're driving around Miami.
So it wasn't like all day they were talking about this.
This isn't like some fucking promoter like, yo, pull up, drink.
Like this is it.
It's a believable ticket.
This is a good tax.
So they're planning on going.
I'm just exhausted.
I don't really want to go because it was like.
like 50 minutes away. So I was like,
eh, I don't really want to go downtown Miami
tonight just because I was just tired.
And Matt Craig,
so we all go back to the house.
Everyone starts getting ready, putting on their fits.
He's drinking his potion.
Yeah, throwing on their cologne.
What's Matt's potion?
Blue Gatorade.
Energy drink.
Red Bull.
Burnets.
Pineapple.
It's fucking disgusting.
No, it tastes.
It does taste great.
It is actually a good drink.
And his reasoning.
is you're getting hydrated while drinking it.
You're getting energized because the energy drink.
The only thing wrong with it's the burnets.
That's the E-MAT Craig.
If you drank burnets by itself, it's like, is it a liqueur?
Like gasoline.
It's like, it comes in a plastic bottle.
I always say that's how you know the shit's ass.
I'm done drinking, man.
It comes in a plastic bottle, it's ass.
So Matt's fucking three sheets to the wind.
But he said, yeah.
So we all come back inside.
We're hanging out, shooting the shit.
And I'm like, all right, y'all have fun.
And Matt is just grilling me for like probably 15 minutes because he almost got me.
Because I was like, dude, like am I actually going to miss out on this?
What are the sort of things he was saying?
In my mind, I'm like, Drake's going to be there.
It's going to be fucking popping.
You know, it's going to be a fun night.
But Matt's just like, it's totally not going to be the best night ever.
He's like, don't even come.
It's not going to be fun.
Drake's not going to be there.
Don't come.
Just over and over and over.
And Drake ended up not being there.
Yeah, I ended up going on the boat.
I'm bored in the boat.
I take my shoes on.
He actually came, he would have been fuming.
I broke up to the third level of the boat.
Mike's face.
Basically?
Yeah, he said, it was good, my heart.
I said, where's drink?
Where's drink?
I walked in and my boy from Toronto's on the couch, like blacked out.
I haven't seen him in like three years, but all day he's telling us to come.
He just, I was bullshit with them.
But we got there and we had to get off the boat in like 25 minutes.
Because I guess it was dumb for the night.
He said y'all got to go.
So if he came, knowing him, knowing him,
If he came 50 minutes and we got on the boat for 20 minutes and had to get off,
you would have been fucking enraged.
And who, though?
Who would he have been, because he's got a point of someone.
Probably me.
Because the way it was talked up.
He probably is, no, he probably, ah, he wouldn't have been funny.
I mean, you can't blame me, though.
The way it was talked up, it's like, yo, Drake's going to be on a boat.
It's a fucking.
Well, the reality is in situations like that, you have to look at it and go,
when is this going to come again?
You're taking a bit of a risk for a potential absolute night.
I mean, I was just exhausted.
Like, I was just, I didn't.
Be fair, hold on.
To be fair, we did have a plan.
It's our boys, majority of our boys were over there,
but Dirk's people did tell us where they were.
They were bowling.
They were like band Timmy up, Derk's DJ.
But there was too much going on.
We can't walk in like, yo, us and nine guys,
can we all come through them both?
Yeah, the situation wasn't right.
You know what I'm saying?
Like us three would have been, us four, you know?
Wouldn't have been me.
I couldn't give a fuck last.
No, you would have came.
I would have been like that.
I don't have you gone.
but that dude that my
you do gotta stop that snoring shit
Miami money's
yeah I can help it
you only want to be in Miami if you have
absolute fucking money
like that's not a city where like
bro you're renting boats and shit
like what's going on here
that boat was fucking crazy
it was nice it was beautiful
that kind of made me want a boat
like I ain't gonna lie
you're laughing so no I'm not
talk to ducking from scuff so you like speedboats
talk to ducking from scuff about those yachts
I mean like the boats that go like
220. No, I don't. I like
the boats that have a trolling motor in the
front, some
some compartments where I can keep
poles and baits, and that's what
I like. See, I don't know if I'd trust myself
like going out into the ocean
trying to read instruments and shit. I don't know if
I'd trust myself on a boat. Because like
when I was in Florida, there's like
a depth thing and there's
like sandbars that you can get stuck
on just out in the middle of the fucking ocean. You're
just stuck on it. But you're not going to do it. There's
food everywhere. You can eat. You just know how
fish.
The fish?
Yeah.
I mean, yeah.
And you like sushi.
Is this the freshest of you?
I love sushi, but one of my biggest fears is getting lost in sea, lost in the sea.
That would be so fucking.
We do got to go fish, though.
Like, uh, Nate has been fucking hitting me up on the side saying, brother.
Brother, some shit.
Let's go fishing, brother.
And I'm like, what the fuck?
I'm not going fishing with you if you keep this up.
But yeah, he wants to go fishing.
I'm so down.
When, where, how, why?
Whatever he comes down here.
I want to go.
I want there to be a mist over the lake where we're at, barely see.
Yo, can we go fishing for my bachelor?
There's gotta be good fishing there, right?
We're only there for one day because of your schedule.
Yeah, we actually are there for one full day.
And people call me a part-timer.
My fucking bachelor party is one day.
It's a Tuesday to Thursday.
It is Tuesday to Thursday.
Travel Tuesday.
Well, okay, so we actually got fucked.
We got fucked because the CDL fucked us.
I mean, with the changing of the schedule,
now we don't get to watch party major four.
And more ways than what?
They pushed it back a week.
And it's like, we just got fucked.
So we planned The Bachelor with the thought that the next 12 weeks,
we have CDL every weekend.
But then they pushed it back a week and it opened up a weekend.
So we actually could have went this weekend.
But by that time, it was already booked.
Everyone made the plans.
But we could have done.
Because after Toronto, there's now a week break, which there wasn't before they changed the schedule.
I can't change it?
Yeah, we might need to look into that.
Oh, no, no, we can't.
We can't.
We can't.
Wait, why?
Because your brother already bought his shit?
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Everyone already booked.
Yeah, and we had like, we had like, we could do it, but you're just going to have to pay for their flight changes.
Do?
Do we?
Yeah, but we got fucked.
So the bachelor is midweek.
We're just going to fly there, probably hang out.
Nothing crazy.
Yeah, so fishing might be.
tough. I mean, we're right on the water.
We're not there for one day. We're there for two days.
Listen, I'll look into it. How about that?
Don't we get there? We get there early in the morning, Tuesday, right?
And then we're there Wednesday and then we leave Thursday.
Yeah, it's going to be debauchery, though. I'm excited for it.
It's a beautiful mansion with the boys. We had a chef, right? Don't we have a chef there as well?
Amen, brother? And they have a real chef like me.
Hopefully better than the Miami chef. To be fair, like, second Miami chef.
For my bachelor, I didn't really want something like crazy. Like I just wanted
No, not my thing, man
I'm 44, man, I'm not doing no better
but than a Bennett.
I kind of just wanted, because like
Matt's match bachelor was like kind of
like what I wanted, just having a nice pool,
a nice place with everyone.
Just kicking it, you know.
Pizza wings,
Kobe and Mexico, just chill it, tacos.
Mayshad's uncle?
Uncle Greg?
How does every?
I'm kidding.
Uncle Greg is a wild.
It's a wild guy right there.
Yes, he was.
Such a great time.
But they had a bar.
bunch of people coming. We only have how many people going to yours?
TN and Logan can't come.
Craig's coming to the wedding now, which is good news.
Okay, so just let's focus on the bachelor party.
Four, us, so.
Us three, Matt, my brother, Andrew.
Seven people?
Am I missing anyone?
Dude, we got to invite other people to come.
We might need to up this shit.
Yeah, let's invite people to come.
Wait.
Matt?
Matt's already come.
Oh, yeah.
Is that same?
I don't know.
Yeah, Matt's already coming.
Made?
Is that it?
Only seven?
I mean, yeah.
We got a squad.
Seven's a good squad.
No, it is a great squad.
It's a big-ass house for that squad, though.
Small circle.
Big house.
Own beds and shit.
What, are we not good enough for you, Zinn?
You need fucking.
He's to bring in the dancing lobsters.
Why are you pointing it on me?
He said we might need to invite more people.
Is that you who said that?
Yeah.
Who are you going to invite?
See, who would have.
Right.
Look, X-Define launches on May 21st.
Jack Courage, Dunlop?
Yeah, probably courage.
That'd be a good, he's a good time.
Deontai Stanson.
Oh, please.
We'll just have them all repeat.
We'll pay him the most money possible.
I mean, we could have some of the content boys,
Raj, Deontai, Diontai, Diat.
All NJ Halo.
Just fucking simply black regrets.
Be all fire, assassin.
Just fucking throw it back, dude.
One big banger, NJ.
Halo.
Morehouse.
That'd be so actually, I've been thinking about that.
I wonder if that's like a throwback NJ Halo would be so dope,
like an East Coast event with like all the OGs.
I don't know if there'd actually be any hype around that.
You could buy back in.
But like that's, that would be so fun.
You'd see everybody.
You're not even mad.
Give him 50 months.
It's kind of like a high school reunion because, bro, we haven't seen those guys a lot of those guys in over 10 years.
Paul Magna's there?
It'd be like, hell yeah.
Like, they're saying with egg McMuffins.
I just talked to Paul the other day.
It was like two days ago.
What do you say to you?
Sam Bosch.
He say, I'm boss.
I'll peek a fuck out of you.
I said, my piece of sal.
And he was like, yo, you suck at MLB.
And it was like, yo, it's 10 in the morning.
Why are you trolling?
Paul does randomly DM me like months ago, first time ever.
He said, he said, fat method was better.
Yeah, yeah, Paul is such a troll.
He's the biggest troll.
I was funny.
I was funny back then.
No, that was good.
What's up with this?
I have not played a single second of X-defiant.
Oh, yeah.
See, that's finally, yeah.
I'm actually excited for.
I'm curious to see what the lifespan of the game's going to look like
just because obviously the delays and stuff,
people are pretty upset about it.
But I don't know if that's going to really matter once it drops.
Like I feel like people will quickly forget.
As long as the product is polished when it drops,
I feel like people very quickly forget the delays and the pushbacks.
Yeah.
But I'm hype, man.
Yeah.
Hopefully it's a...
What is this All-Star Series finals?
What is that?
Once I had S&D, I'm on this.
Are they going to have...
rank play on drop? I don't know if they're going to have, if they have rank play on drop,
it'll be fucking popping for a little bit. If it's on drop. I don't know if they're doing
on drop. I hope. Are they charging for this now? Apparently some of the old cod guys actually
plan on competing at X-defined. Yeah, Mikey's... Which honestly makes sense. Like, I, if you're a
cod guy and you're not dog shit, and you got filtered out of the league, why not go to...
A little more? Is there? Arena modes? Left.
Teams compete in arena style math by Lankfons?
I don't know if that means rank play.
Progression, attackers.
But yeah, I'm very excited, though.
I'm very excited for this.
I feel like the gaming community right now.
I feel like it's just kind of a lull period
where there's not really many new, like, new IP shooters coming out and stuff.
Actually, that's not true because there are some looter shooters coming out on PC
that people have been playing.
But I feel like this is a good one for like the COG community, the Halo community,
like just a new like arena twitchy type FP.
What also feels like the most similar to Cod
comparatively in the sense of like
for example the finals that we were playing
the finals just felt pretty clunky like it wasn't
as smooth as like
X Defiant is the closest thing to call
of duty that I feel like I've played
The closest thing to call it duty
was Battalion 1944
But yeah I'm excited for XTifyant
I just hope
I don't really know what to expect on launch
I don't know what people are going to be playing
What is that mean four teams of all
stars. You can't, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta check with me if you want to compete.
They're all like a little show match type thing, I think. Like T.P's playing in it. Mike Space.
Yeah. Space. Space. Yeah, there's still like a show match. He's been grinding. He's been
going. He's been waiting for this. Good. Yeah, that's like. Well, no, I think.
Wait, karma, karma's not allowed to play in this. Hey, call his Asian. Well, no, they already did this.
This was like, they, this is when they went to like play X Defiant. They did like a little four team.
Oh, yeah. He already. Yeah. This is already done.
No, no, he's not allowed to do that.
We're going to have to call them directly and say, what's up?
They owe someone someone.
I'm allowed to do it.
No, no one is.
Yeah, finally.
You got to check with me first.
That's good.
No, I'm excited for you guys.
Hopefully I'll let you guys play.
Something new to play.
Something new to play.
It's right when we get back from Toronto pretty much.
I've been loving ranked rebirth.
Maybe I'll let you play, maybe.
You'll see.
Scroll down, man.
I wanted to, I thought I saw something.
Do you guys look?
No, no, no, no, no.
that's enough of that
Brunty James
Did you see this?
Yeah
What do you think man
I thought he had like
One this makes me happy
Because I was like
I was like
I'mma bummed
Whatever I say about
His father
And all that
Like I say the majority in jest
But when he got like hurt
Or he had the the
palpitation and the sorry
Like I really
That really like fucking
I don't know
Made me feel really shitty
For a
That's terrifying too
Yeah
That guy is very fit
Like
Like nutrition trainers
Just anyone young going through shit like that, man.
Like it always rust me.
He said the 40 inch fourth highest.
Yeah.
So Brani James, son of the great LeBron James,
19 year old deemed to be six and a half,
oh, six one and a half without shoes,
which is noticeably lower than six four.
He's listed at his USC bio page.
It is possible that the Trojans measured him
with the shoes on,
with the NBA having years ago standardized
how each player's height is determined.
Bruney James shoots 1925 a three point line,
2020-24 NBA Draft Combine,
brought it a 40-inch 40,
okay, Bernie records or records,
a 40.5-inch max vertical,
fourth highest of any participant
of any height ever.
That to me is what the fucking wild shit is.
Yeah. That is crazy.
A 40?
Wait, can I, I'm gonna circle back.
I'm gonna circle back to the Kai Saanaut thing real quick.
His Twitch mods prevented the viewers from informing him that the tree sentinel was skippable.
There was like 100,000 people.
How the fuck did they do that?
His Twitch mods prevented him, his viewers from informing him that the boss is only is.
I can't imagine that mod team, dude.
It's like Dexter's Laboratory.
Is this a tree sentinel?
Yeah.
So like I said, the tree sentinel...
This game looks dope.
Dude, it's...
You haven't played this?
Never.
Why the fuck are you playing Gondon War?
Well, because right now he's playing.
Damn!
Bro, this is, I'm not kidding, Zen.
This, if you like that type of shit,
this is the best game.
Maybe ever made.
Holy fuck, I've been there.
You play this at some point?
You playing the controller?
Yeah, but the Tree Sentinel, so he's right when you walk into the first area,
which I think is called Limb-Limdel.
I forget what it's called, but it's right when you walk in the first area,
you just, you walk through like a big-ass gate.
And he's just sitting there walking on his horse.
And he's like the first thing you see.
So you're like, what the fuck?
Can you beat him this early?
You can, yeah.
But he's just really like scaled up.
He's like a midway of the game boss that you come back and kill like whenever you get a little stronger.
But you have to kill him.
Jesus.
No, you don't have to kill him.
He's optional.
Got you.
Dude, that's cool.
So like Eldon Ring, most of the bosses are optional.
There's like, there's hundreds of bosses.
Damn.
And only like five to seven of them are like mandatory for the story.
You played it all off stream, just loving it?
Loving it.
See, like you're a true gamer, man.
Oh, yeah.
I respect the fact that like you're an actual true gamer.
Me too.
I'm a fake gamer these days.
I mean, this game was...
I've been a fake gamer all my life.
I'm trying to get back into it, but...
I only play call duty.
Minecraft, I got really lucky to experience it.
I didn't have a game to say it at this point.
Yeah, I only play call a duty of Minecraft.
Yeah, the game's dope.
I'm gonna give it a go at some point soon.
So this Jake Paul fight, who do you got?
You watch boxing.
Who do you got?
Tyson or Jake Paul?
Mike Tyson?
Okay, I was gonna fucking say.
Who, whoa, who do you got?
Well, Mike Tyson admits his body is shit ahead of Jake Paul fight.
Yeah?
I mean, he's what?
Yeah, it just really depends on how his endurance is going to be
because obviously the guy can fucking punch hard.
If we're talking about...
Well, he just fought fucking royals.
Roy Jones Jr.
Tyson did?
Yeah.
Remember?
When?
Like last year, I think, right?
Did he?
Yeah, something like that.
Not Roy Jones Jr.
They were joking around.
My favorite, if not what, I'm definitely my, yeah, my favorite boxer of all time.
Not Julius Sessa Chavez.
I know people are going to get mad at that.
Love Julius Sazza Chavez.
I just want to see what kind of fight it is.
I want to see if it's like.
I felt Canella, of course.
But I'm not, it's not like, I don't go out of my way to watch every single one his fights.
It's like Mike Tyson and Roy.
Jones Jr. I never missed a single one of their fights.
Joe
Ever.
So, listen, if Mike Tyson doesn't win,
I hope that he got a massive bag in the back.
He definitely did.
Well, it's not going to go on his record, right?
It's an exhibition match, right?
No, they, no, I think they moved it up to an actual professional fight.
Like, Jayne Fight or Jay Paul will be on Mike Dyson's record.
No, hell not.
No, he's the best heavyweight of all time.
What's Tyson's record?
How many losses do you have?
I mean, okay, okay.
People are going to say, whoa, what about Muhammad Ali?
I like Muhammad Ali too, but Mike Tyson, that's a dog.
44 knockouts.
Yeah, but how many losses do you have, though?
Right there, 44.
44 losses?
No, hell, no.
Boxing right, click box right.
Six.
Six losses?
One of them, his mind.
One of them, his mind wasn't right.
He quit.
A lot of them in his mind wasn't right.
Well, that makes, he at least has a decent, not a decent amount, but like he has losses to
like, like, he trolled a lot of his losses.
Like, for example, Mayweather, like, Mayweather would never put his record.
He's undefeated.
Like, you don't put it, it's like a G.B. record.
You save, you, you fucking save the record.
Always.
You'll never put that on because he's not, he's not the greatest box for all time.
You never chowel number two team when you're first place.
If you're the greatest box of all time, you step up to every challenge.
Like he did.
Tyson?
Yeah.
Guys a scary motherfucker, man.
For you and knockouts.
If I, if I, like, he'd be one of the, now, granted, I am fully aware of the person he was in the past.
I don't know if he's still that person.
I'm just talking about from that perspective.
I know there's going to be, oh, I'm talking about as a fighter.
I would like to meet him one day.
All right.
Well, listen, we are less than 24 hours away from being.
Oh, no, actually more.
We're like, no, we got more than like 36 hours before.

optic boys as always it's going to be so dope man I love I love dude we're going to be like
