World peace. Anything in the world? Would you choose 10 mil or world peace? 10 mil. I'm kidding. End the clip right before he said. No, you're not. World peace, of course.

Ladies and gentlemen, I want to welcome you to the Optic Podcast episode 206. 206 podcast. Geez, Louise. That is a lot. That's crazy. That's not including all the ones that we have done. Matt, are you recording? I feel like it feels crazy

like when we hit a milestone when we hit 200 I was like damn yeah that is that is a crazy When we hit 100 I was like damn As usual I am one of your co-host We have a man maniac right there You don't see him yet But once he gets out of wiping his butt

He's gonna sit right there We have the scumper jumper We have legendary hook Hooke The Nook in the building folks Back in the building Welcome back man I'm so happy for this

Dude I was talking to I was talking to APG yet yesterday. And now I was telling him, I'm like, I'm happy that the hook is back. Obviously, like, it's the, what's happening, obviously is, is not the best of, of situations. But for somebody like you, like this has got to be like a, like, the way that I said it is when you look at hook, you can tell that that dude is just like one with the universe. And what I mean by that is that I've never seen you mad, right? I've never seen you mad. I always see you smiling. and I know that you're like, you know, you are in tune, right? Would you say that you are a person? I guess so, yeah. That's how I feel. I feel like I'm just letting the universe take me where I'm going.

I'm not in tune with nature. I'm not going to lie. I haven't seen nature in years. Yeah, what do you mean? I'll take this as a compliment. No, of course. Oh, yeah. I'm one with the universe.

How would you? Just go with it. Are you like, I've never seen, like, are you, are you not a happy person? like nonstop? Yeah, that's how fucking long. No, I would say I'm not always happy, but I would say I have a good head on me for sure. Like I would say I try to look for the posse. Possy vibes only.

Yeah, I tried to. I try to. Obviously, I'm not always happy. But do you ever let a show? Because I've never seen you upset. Not even when we lose. That's the thing. I'm like introverted as fuck.

So like you're not going to see it, but I will be hurt or pissed sometimes. I love that shit. Bottle there, baby. Some stuff. Yeah, yeah. What I'm going through. How to go, man? You look 10 pounds lighter.

Well, that's what happens when you eat McDonald's at 1 a.m. You wake up. You don't shit. You drive here. Eat some country potatoes, eggs, bacon. Where? Damn. I went to the depot place up the street.

Have you ever been there? No. I think I told you about it. It's like more... You go to like the white diner. This is more like Mexican-y. No. So, and it's the gas station right up here.

The gas station, Rudy's. Have you ever been up there? Wait, the gas station on Main Street? Like right where we at. Go up, yeah, go up this street, that gas station right there. The one with all the construction there right now? Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, I've been in there before.

Like right beside that is like a diner. Oh, really? Yeah. I've never seen it. Wait, this guy's unlocking like new places. I can't see you because of the tree. You know why I went there is because you said you were at the diner and I just didn't feel like seeing you guys.

Okay. That's real, that's some real shit. So I just went up there and ate by myself and then. Came here, wasn't supposed to be on this. But you know me, showing up early to the flycast. Yeah. I'll fill in. Yeah, we certainly appreciate here.

You're already, what, 20 minutes late? What time is it? But I had to take a shit. So we're here now. We're here now. Yeah, yeah. So originally it was supposed to be hooked the nuke and Shotsie, but Shotsie had some personal issues.

You know, oh my God, here we go. We all. Let me, we do all. We do all. So this podcast is for next week. Okay. But obviously don't put this in there, because obviously,

you know, breaking the fourth wall or something. I'll leave it and I don't give a fuck. Anyway, we were just welcoming Hukin and I was saying how the universe loves this dude because it keeps on giving them these fucking chances

to fucking come and win a fucking championship. If it loved him so much, wouldn't it kept him here, though? Huh? Wouldn't it put him through the grimy challenge? Nah, because that builds character. Me and who got a fire cache today? We got a lot to talk about.

Yeah, so save that for that. But anyway, I was saying, I'm like, I'm like, dude, look at this dude. And what he just said? Obviously, is very, very eye-opening that he himself also, like, has these, like me. And I hope that I'm going to mischaracterizing what you said. But bottling stuff in is an introverts sort of nature, right? Yeah. And would you consider that bottling it, bottling it in, or you're just not sharing?

because there's negative connotations against men bottling it in. I'm a bottler. Yeah. Oh, yeah, I let that shit just. And then I'll take nine days off and it'll just all come out. Oh, yeah. That's usually what I do. Yeah, that's a good question.

I don't know. Like, I think, I don't know. Honestly, I'm not sure. I feel like I just feel things and then fuck it, like after a while because I got to keep going type of shit. Like, yeah. The reason I do it is, like, if I'm worried about something, Why am I going to make other people worried about that? Not worried about them worrying.

I wonder how secretly stressed you are. Me? Yeah. Because I feel like you don't. The amount of her he's smoking, he might not be stressed. No, listen, I reset my, I reset my anxieties once a week. You took a tea break? No, never.

I smoked last night and just started freaking out. Really? Yeah. But, I mean, obviously, I've been in a little weird, weird place lately. Well, you talked about it last. Last week on the podcast, yeah. I guess we can, I mean, I'm not going to talk about it, but I'll explain or I'm not going to explain, but I'll say on the flycast, we broke it down. If you miss the episode, go check it out.

But, yeah, went through a breakup, and it's just fucking sickening, man. Like this is, we had dogs together, house. Obviously, don't go say anything, you idiot. Because sometimes they like to just go message the other person, some meat stuff. No. Just having my back, which I appreciate, but don't. No, no, no, no. That's never, never, never fucking right.

And it's happened in the past. So that's why I feel like I have to say something, but. No, it was a mutual thing, right? Like two grown people saying this is this for us. It was two grown people making a mature decision to, you know, I guess it just ran its course. Yeah. But yeah, just having two dogs going to have to be like separating them. And they're like best friends.

So that's sad. selling the house and shit and it's just been so stressful bro it's like i was talking to my friend about it i was like there's your parents dying and then there's like a breakup and i think that there's other worse stuff like getting cancer and shit but as far as just like just pure like pain and grief it's just it's just sickening man but i'm here man i'm trying to trying to show up push through it usually in times like this i like sort of lock myself away and just beat dude what

I'm intently listening I'm listening I'm listening I'm listening there times like this don't worry I got something for you at the end of it I'll just

I'll lock myself a hug and a kiss but it just be fucking like sad and fucking like cuck I'm introverted

so I'll just like I won't even like get on my computer be on disco I'll just sit in my fucking bed and like ride away I'm not saying

that's what you do but like I just stay to myself. I don't go out and drink and try to like distract myself. Yeah, get a quick rebound. Like I just sit there and I just take the fucking pain. And usually, and I'm proud of myself, because usually I've always had like a X or like,

you know, take some adder all to get on a game to distract myself. But this time I'm just straight up taking the pain. Like normal people do. I love that. Yeah, normal people do. So it's my first time for that, but it's been tough. Anyways, what y'all got going on? But just think.

There will be a day that you wake up And you just won't be thinking about it anymore Time heals all man Yeah time does you all We just got to power through that show It's not my first rodeo So But at first man it just fucking stuff

I'm down to do something. I told, I texted in the optic chat. I was like, is anyone not going on for Christmas and just want to get drunk on stream or something? I would do that. But, I mean, maybe. On stream? To be honest, I kind of plan on starting my like out and ring marathon. Oh, okay. Just milk no one being live. Yeah, no one's over there. 23rd, I think starting the 23rd, which I'm kind of pissed about this because every little Twitch 30% off subs and shit happens when I'm, but I leave the 22nd and then it's like 30% off subs or some shit from the 23rd year.

I know what I'm doing that. Now is the 30% off on Twitch is on Twitch is on Twitter one side? That's okay. Is the 30% off like, is that what Twitch is giving them, but you don't give 30%? I'm pretty sure they're doing like the like five gifted and you get a random amount of subs again. too i don't know exactly how oh i need oh damn you need that i need that i need that yeah no i'm i'm glad i'm glad that you're getting busy out there uh you hit me up on some uh it's like yo is jude into furniture my wife and i'm like i'm like yeah but i'm like i'm like why i sent a pick of

10 years. I feel like since I moved out that it's like not really gifts. Yeah, the kid's obviously a different story but adults like I'm cool. Mine's kind of like a revolving door every year. Like I always ask for the same things and they're always like perishable things. Like I ask for like moccasins but then Buzz will eat the moccasins. So I

always need new pairs of moccasins on Christmas socks, pajamas eagle stuff. So like it's mine's always like kind of the same rotation. But I'm very thankful every year. Yes, yes.

I know I said that like funny, but it is cool. I like when people are over because it gives me a chance to cook for, like, I'll cook for everyone. And it's just, you know, up in my skills in the kitchen, you know what I'm saying?

So I got a couple of breakfasts prepared. I got, I hit up my plug yesterday to make sure that I was stocked up specifically for that week of Christmas. So I ordered two cherry pies. Oh.

No. Pumpkins? Yuck. A little, what is it like? Because it's like not too sugary. It's like in between. Yeah, in the text. I don't want that fruit. Yeah, it's like soft and shit. Wait, it's like soft and shit. Wait, no. A vegetable. It's a root vegetable, I think.

I honestly, I don't know. That fruity shit. To be honest, I like all by us. Pumpkin is a fruit. Or vegetable. It's both. It's by, it's by, uh, I felt like an idiot saying that. What do you call that? It's one of them weird things. They need to just make up a word for this type of shit. Oh, technically is squash.

That's a vegetable. Okay. Squash one. Oh, I remember, this is a three d'clock. Pumpkins of fruit, but it's a squash and squash is a vegetable. Shit don't make no sense. Pissing me off, too. So, yeah, I'm pretty much going to chill.

I've become like an an extraordinary introvert when it comes to like social gatherings now yeah yeah that's why I don't feel bad when people don't invite me places I actually feel like thankful that they excluded me from the plans you know say who really I love it, man.

I love everything about Christmas. What's your favorite pie? Mine? Yeah, I guess you all. Me and Hooks is pumpkin. It's good. Yeah. I do feel you.

You need cherry pie. Once it changes answer, I know. No, I'd probably go pumpkin too, to be honest. What? I can't think of any other. I don't really like cherry pie because it's too sweet. And usually I'm super full at the end. Whenever I'm eating cherry pie, I am too full already.

Bring up a list of pies. Yo, what about like a warm apple pie with ice cream on top? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's fire. Yeah, with a little dash of sand, man. It's all everything is good. Pumpkin, bacon, key lime, cherry, blueberry, banana. Yeah, what's your favorite pie?

Blueberry's fucking comments below. Wait, sweet potato pie is low-key good too. Nah, dude, come on. You see, you guys don't like that. You guys don't like the sweet. It is. It is. You guys don't like that.

Well, okay, then say cheesecake. The cheesecake is the same consistency as both of those. A pie. Cheesecakes. It might be my favorite dessert. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I think cheesecake is my favorite dessert. The reason I didn't say that.

Well, okay, what about a carrot cake? Oh, it's a cake. I love carrot cake. I love carrot cake. I love carrot cake. The best one is a haywire, undisputed. It's just good. Their sweet cream frosting is crazy.

Goodness. It is good. So key lime is cool, but not my thing. So if I was too fucking... I've never had to key lime. Key lime pie is delicious. But it's not better than cherry pie. It's not better than blueberry pie.

It's not better than strawberry pie. So maybe I'm just a berry pie guy Maybe So which of the berries Or what's what you pick? Cherry, cherry for sure Cherry pie Yeah dude, it's so fucking good You don't even understand

What about favorite dessert? Yeah Cheesecake Cheesecake for sure The most popular Desidering and impressive 20 states Sugar cookies See they no ball

Tirmisu Pecan, Biscotti, carrot Rice pudding Rice pudding Popular in one state, Utah. Rice pudding in Utah? Yeah, what the fuck is going on over there, dude? What's going on in Utah?

They're all just loving rice pudding? That's diabolic. I don't know. I think I've had this urge to go get cooking classes. And why? I want to go to culinary school. You don't. Yes, I do.

I love cooking. I love grilling. love everything that has to do with food. I think cooking is one of the coolest things you could do. Just taking things and combining them and making something that's incredible. I can cook. I just cook like basic stuff. And everyone likes to eat.

Well, not everyone, but most people love to eat. I feel like cooking is like when you look in your fridge and you see you got all this, what can you make out of that? And I can't really, yeah, no, I got to just like prep. So does that mean I can't cook? Yeah, I need a full recipe. Not really. Like, I can.

What's the best thing that you can make? I can't just make sure of that thing. Probably like like steak pasta. Oh, okay. Stake pasta. Pasta from scratch or do you buy it in a box? I buy it. I don't know.

See, I want to make it from scratch. If you're making pasta from scratch? How do you, first off, how do you even do that? Don't you got to get the dough and like. Yeah, dough and they have to latin it. Ain't nobody doing that. And don't say you do. No, I haven't, but I will.

Like, I've made tortillas before. And it's the same concept. Tortillas, arina, fucking corn tortillas. Have you ever made like, uh, like a hard shell taco from scratch. Yeah. Damn. From scratch would imply that I made the tortilla from scratch also.

Yeah. I haven't. But I have taken a soft tortilla. And made that hard shell tacos. Yeah. Usually we do them with my. You just put it in oil? Yeah, you just put it in oil and you fold it.

Right. Well, in there. And then after that you add the, we do ground beef, a little bit of tomato slices. And I'm talking about like. fucking miniature slices of tomato very thinly sliced and potatoes also cubed and uh and we eat that with a with a chili de arbor salsa oh oh my now you're spitting fire all right this is where people are going to be like what i add ketchup to that i've been eating it like that since i was a kid i'm not going to knock it till i try it with a whole taco and then ketchup dude i know and listen

people are going to say that's that's a white with cheese no cheese Whittiken. They're going to say some whitesikin shit or some Nozabo kid shit. Wachican. Like literally since I was living in Juarez. Nozobo, that means? Colonia Obrera, Ciwada, Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico. All right.

So since 1983, 84, when I was three or four years old, I've been eating it this way and I eat it to this day. My sister eats it the same way. My mom and dad don't use the ketchup, but me and my sister, I think, are the only, oh, maybe my entire sibling, all my siblings. but my sister and I for sure add ketchup to that but one very specific taco oh my god so good hell yeah I don't think I have um trying to think of like a family dish we have do white people have traditional family dishes yes dude those little hot dogs in the crock pot shit slaps every time

I'm trying to think of what we made green bean casserole green bean like is there specific I've never had that really oh you're missing out it's actually show gas in the In the croaker, frozen corn dogs. In the crock pot? It's like green beans, cream of mushroom, I think. And then the top is like those crunchy onions. Oh, man, green bean cassero. It's decent.

What ethnicity are you hooked? Me? My mom is Dutch and my dad is black. So I'm half Dutch. Half Dutch. Half black. What kind of food do you eat growing up? A lot of chicken.

A lot of chicken. And then my mom would just make me like cassidies and shit. Hell yeah. Yeah, his mom was pretty, dude, I mean. Slippery pot pie had that a lot growing up. And spaghetti. You don't fuck with that. What about a-I-I don't know what that is?

Slippery Pop-Sli-Jose. Slippie Jos? You ate a lot of sloppy Jules for sure. Sloppy Jules. What about a little meatball barbecue barbecue meatballs in the crock pot? I can't believe some of the stuff I ate growing up. Like I would eat hot pockets for breakfast. Yeah, I would do that too.

Even just like cereal and shit. And baloney? I mean, I guess, yeah. Bologna sandwiches. I used to love going to my dad's house because, and I, it's almost like I thought this was like luxury. I'd go to my dad's house. He'd make bologna, bologna and cheese sandwiches. And then he'd make ramen and I'd put the ramen in my bologna sandwich.

Okay, you're going too far. It was so good. I thought I was, and then he'd make spaghetti, and I found out those are like the two cheapest meals he could possibly make. Yeah. But it's so good. It's so good. And I used to, like, I used to think I was. like like I used to just think that was like luxury back then spaghetti and meatballs or so yeah we're living

because everything was simpler back then it was it was before my ramen and I'd be like fuck yeah it was this is awesome I'm about to rip this and then go 10 and oh and GBs tonight mm-hmm see I would go don't remake I would go five and five and five and GPs and then I'd eat ramen at like 2 a.m. wake up at 7 a.m. for school stomach bubble guts shitting myself boner back of the bus sometimes i'd have time to shower i don't god i was a mess with the back of the bus you got your little backpack on top of it just hiding it oh i'd have to get off the bus sometimes like with my backpack in front of my pants no you're younger it's like shit just happens no you got to put it on the on the belt worst fear was having

It's just like the worst thing you can do. Okay, I wasn't wearing chains, bro. I was wearing fucking. But you would have reached though, right? That chain if you were wearing a chain? Huh? Nothing. All right, ladies and gentlemen.

As we move on from the Christmas stuff. Wait, favorite Christmas movie. Oh, that's a good one. of our favorite Christmas shit, Matt. I love that. Google list. It's so viving, dude.

Christmas is just... Because this is coming out like during Christmas movie. Let's start with Hooke. I will say, before we get into this really quick, Red One, we watched it last night, and we don't really like ever explore new Christmas movies.

We're kind of like just creatures of habit. Like, we'll always watch the like same five. But Red One was very unique. So I actually do recommend it. It's like an action Christmas movie. It was dope. But, Tyler, go ahead. Yeah, my favorite Christmas movie is,

Passion of the Christ. Home alone? That's fire. Passion of the Christ? What is that? What? Too soon. Is that a Christmas movie?

Too soon? Is that a Christmas movie? Technically, I guess. It's about Jesus. Wait, is that when Jesus died or was born? Both. Yeah. Both.

It's the life of Jesus Christ. And wasn't he? Wait, no. It ain't it not even any of that? We're about to get into some conspiracy shit. Like he didn't actually. Wait, what's it supposed to be? What is, and I feel like an idiot, because I used to know, but I've been so...

So Jesus H. Christ was born in zero zero, right? Anything before that is A, C, every... B C. And then everything is A.D. It made it so complicated. Right? And it's about Jesus H. Christ. Henry, Jesus Henry Christ.

I'm kidding. I'm not making fun of Christianity. Or Catholicism. I was raised to Catholic. I'm going to stand back for all of you. I apologize. I was going to make a joke of it. But it is about the life of Christ and it takes them through the entirety of it, turning water into wine, like all of it.

But what's December 25th? The birth. The birth. Okay. Well, he was born December 25th. I need to get on my Bible. With the three. Three Reyes Magos.

Yeah, you've been quoting the Bible lately. I just haven't learned like the, I like the affirmations and stuff. I haven't really gotten to this story all like that. But I used to know that. I'm an idiot. Here go to the comments. How did you not know that? My favorite movie will have to be home alone.

I've been tempted to watch it. We've watched it already. Did you? Yeah, because we have like a forbidden list that we are not allowed to watch until we go home. So we have a forbidden list. Anything not on that list is fair game. Home alone is not on that list. Yeah, we ripped that like a week ago, dude.

1864, that was your, you grew up watching that. That one's a classic. It's a classic. Very good, it's like a musical kind of, but it's, the songs are good. Yeah, it's actually pretty good. And I don't think that I can watch it now, the same way that I don't think that I could watch fucking National Ampoons or a Christmas story.

That's one of the best ones. I don't know, but I've ever seen Elf, like, Bad Santa. There we go. That's a little bit more of my wavelength. I like Bad Santa. Yeah, that one's funny. He's like, God damn it, kid. I love that. Fuck is, what you're trying to. Yeah, I forget what he said.

I used to know quotes from that movie. Who's that actor? I love that guy. Billy Bonk, Thornton. I think mine's, Bernie Mac. Mine's the Santa Claus, the original. Oh, Tim Allen. Fuck yeah.

The original Santa Claus? That's like, there's a few movies that are just like nostalgic for me as far as like, I just remember like being happy as a kid. Watching it. Jingle all the way. That's one of them. We watched that one yesterday, the night before. That one's hilarious.

Is that with Seth? Seth. They do. They do. Yeah. Seth Rogan. Wait, how many, how many, how many movies? We have watched pretty much every Christmas movie that is not on our forbidden list.

No, we, we watch them throughout the whole month. Okay. So by the time Christmas is done, I am done. You do like a one a night kind of thing? Sometimes two. It depends on what we're feeling. With a glass of wine? No, no wine last night.

Just straight. You're sober. straight bong hits bong rips wait how the fuck is Batman returns a Christmas movie Batman return

Jingle all the way was really good bro I'm gonna be honest I don't know what it is but they just don't do anything for me anymore do you guys like Polar Express never watched it

Is it like horror? Is it just kind of like a scarier? No, it's like horror. Cranpus is like a fucking goat man, yeah. Yeah. What the? He was in Vanguard too, right? Yeah, crampus was messing up scrims.

Yeah, he was. Remember that? He was in scrimms. Because Crampus would spot in and just start ripping people's arms off and shit. Yeah. You'd be on a go-to? That's fucking...

Yeah, yeah. You'd be on Gavutu 2, P1 in the ring, and you would just get jump scared. And you had these little, like, gremlin things on the map, like, making noises and shit. And S&D. It was insane, dude. Yeah, that's not really my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, I, even the passion of the Christ, I watched that because I saw it more of, a, of, like, a historical, you know, like, a, documentary, or, like, a biography. Dear Santa, 12 days of giving. That just came out, dear Santa.

I'm telling you the amount of Christmas movies that have come out this year, like new, just new ones on Netflix is crazy. I don't, I, for the first time, well, I feel that there's like eight of them. My brain has been rotted away by the constant fucking flipping of the phone and just looking at six second fucking reels or a minute long reels. And I just get so sick of it that I can't, I haven't watched Deadpool and Wolverine. Wolverine is obviously, not obviously, but one of my favorites. not my favorite, all of them. So I haven't watched that. I haven't watched a bunch of ones that I want to watch

because I can't sit there and watch something. I can't watch nothing. The only thing that I got to tell Jude, I'm like, hey, I'm going to put my phone in my office. I'm going to be in the theater room and watch this movie. If you need anything coming to interrupt, don't fucking text me. That's the only time and that never fucking happens.

You got to fix that, man. What is the best gift you ever gotten? It's not good for you. For Christmas. I don't know Someone else go I'd have to think Maybe Jordans as a kid

The best gift ever You want to see the Jordan I got as a kid? I think my PS2 Yeah I would say When I got the The original Xbox Because that's when I started

That's when I started gaming And My dad was broke as shit But somehow got that for us I was hype as shit I Mine was a BMX Columbia

bicycle. It had white rims. It was like those porcelain looking rims. It was optic colors. It had a little pink. But that was the 80s, right? So you have like the little pink and neon shit. So white rims, black bike, little fucking green, optic green handles.

Fire. That's my favorite for all. I rode that shit fucking everywhere. I started looking for it again like last year to have like a, I want to get a BMX and shit so that I can ride around and get some some exercise in you know I'm saying hell yeah um had the the had the the what do you call the the things you stand on uh pegs the pegs yeah I have pegs in the front pegs in the back fire those best best best best best gift I ever had in my life Matt can you Google Jordan 19s oh I think these are my were my

first Jordans ever they're not in like six grade or not though they're not team Jordans you know the second picture. These were my first pair of Jordans. And I was so hype when I got them, but then as time went on, I was like, these are fucking disgusting. 990 bucks. Yo, how do you guys feel?

We should have held on those sheds, man. Are they disgusting? Hit all, hit all, hit all, man. Yeah, you still got those. I don't remember the strap in the back, though. Above that, above that. Up right there. 11.5s?

My mom. 9 to 1,000. 980. Yeah, there's only 2 left. Damn. What the. How do you guys feel about calling black and red Jordan's breads? Do you guys think that that should be reserved for the original breads?

I don't even know. I never even. I don't know. I don't know the lore. I was kidding. I was kidding. I knew that question was not for this podcast. Yeah.

They're not bad. But that would like that's just not a pair you start with. You don't say I'm going to get my first pair of Jordans and you come out with the fucking 19. I mean, there are some. That are like post. Those are the least favorite I've seen out of all the Jordans. I mean, same. Fucking same.

I mean, there's definitely, I think, some ugly. There's no way they're number one, right? Wait, number one one. Like number one ugly Jordans. Matt, pull up the best. Is that why they're selling? Just because they're so ugly people. No one's ever bought them.

They're probably just rare as shit. That's probably my pair from sixth grade. You wore anything 11 and a half back then It doesn't even know what it wants to be It's like a dress shoe in the front With a shiny ass and it's got no laces I remember wearing those for like basketball practice and shit I would wear those for like basketball practice sometimes

But just gross I feel like I could like joust in those Alright here you go Gotta be Dude the first like 12 or so far That's where it stops for me brother being honest, which.

Oh, okay. 18s? See, but what's under the green black? Yeah, no. Jordan fell off. I mean, understandably. Yeah. He fell off.

Look at his shoes now, though. Look at these, the past. you wear Jordan suit yeah you do sort of sort of yeah I honestly

he's got Jordan's on what I got 8th Street Samba is on today you know I'm saying the triple collab yeah but I don't know that was my

to get back to our little thing that was my so Jordan's for you my first fair Jordan so I was like Xbox Xbox PlayStation BMX Mike Matt what about you

a box full of 100 100 Do you save them? They might be worse something nowadays. Bro, think of how little stuff... Not to be negative. Think of how little stuff brings you pleasure these days

compared to when, like, when you were a kid, I remember just having this, like, little toy castle. And I felt like a lot of people had this castle. But it was just like a... When you were young, when you were like a kid? It was just like a toy castle. It was probably like this tall. We would have, like, little figurines.

And we would just... The castle from Mastersle of the Universe? The He Man Castle? Google Castle that kids play with. Yeah, like something like... Oh, dude, yeah, these were like crack. Like that top... Not that I'm like super into crack right now.

That top... Click the top left one. Like, I remember just having something like this. Not me. And just like having a little figurine. Even I had a hot wheel and I would just drive the hot wheel on the fucking castle and shit and just sit there for like two hours doing this shit. Like...

Hell yeah. You know what I did as a crane? at. Yo. As a kid? What? I was gonna say, you guys know, yo,

tech decks, the little like thing with the little skateboard. Yeah, those were crazy. Yeah, those were crazy. People, there's like competitions and shit with that kind of stuff.

But it was like, I don't know, it's just crazy thinking back of how. This is what I think I had that exact one. Dopamine rush, search for something. Never always doing it.

Like back then. You might have just unlocked the memory. Yeah. Look at the, yeah. A lot of people. Look at the, look at the,

at the Masters of the Universe Castle. Everyone had this one? Of the universe casters. This was the start of your castle? It was super popular. That Fisher Price fucking shit. This is where you figured out if you really fucking castles.

I always, always wanted this. This is the one that I wanted so bad. You couldn't afford this one? What the fuck? I was in Mexico and I was a kid with no job. My parents couldn't afford it. If they couldn't afford it, I couldn't. But this is what I used to do.

You see this right here? I would grab any water bottle. You would cut this part right here. You would use a knife or whatever. You cut it. Gravity bond? No. That's funny. Nah. All right. So you

grab a balloon and then you cut the long part where you blow into it to blow it up. You cut that up and then you turn it into a rubber band. The bottom part, the sack you put here. So now you have this, right? You have the sack of the balloon. Then you put that

same rubber band around here, locking it in. And then you go to lilac trees, right? These little crab apples. And then you drop it in to the to the bar it goes to the bottom of the of the balloon and then you pull that and you're paintballing

with your friends oh shit you're engineer it hurts it did that sounds crazy it did I remember paintballing in the woods that shit hurt even when we've done some of these videos paintballing just fucking hurts right that one right there match yeah that's yeah that one oh but not with metal

fucking we use crab apples grab apples you know what those are the little the little balls that grow on trees Like green little balls? I'll probably seen him. I guess I've probably seen him. Yeah,

I don't even know. I just never knew that's what it was called. One of my tiny, what I call him fucking eight, nine year old friends. Like, uh, like,

he was crying and we ran to him. Oh, what happened? You get hit? I was like, no, he's like, I killed the bird.

And I know the bird had, had the crab apple stock in his eye. And I was like, never, I was like, I can't play with this shit. No one. He immediately felt guilt.

Damn. I didn't even kill the bird. It was that kid that was crying. but I felt his pain. You ever seen a baby pigeon? Yeah. Oh, you haven't?

No, I haven't. I was going to say me neither. Conspiracies. I've never seen it. Yo, tell me the truth though. Have you? You don't go outside, right? Like at night to like taking the breath

of the fresh air at night? No, I actually love going out for a quick breath of fresh air. Look up. Wakes you up. Listen, look up. Because shit's happening. Look up? Yeah, shit's happening.

Dude, we live next to an airport. Nothing. Are you talking about... Wait, wait, wait, what are you talking about, like, in the sky? Like, like the planes are shows? No, they're not planes and they're not drones. Who's been waiting for someone to... No, yesterday I've seen like fucking Apache helicopters and shit.

more now than we have ever seen before. What man? What? You don't believe in aliens? You don't think you don't think you're seeing more aliens. Yeah. Yeah. Fucking literal fucking spaceships and shuttles. I'm flying towards it. And they're above your house in Friscoe. Huh? And they chose to be above your house in frisco no they weren't above my house they were at a distance what would

you do if your house just went super bright and it started vibrating and dude i'd be like thank you for choosing me at like 3 a m i'd like a um what is it when you are when you're asleep and then lucid dream you think you wake up but you're still asleep and then you can't sleep paralysis i had sleep paralysis about getting like abducted by aliens once and that fucked with you for a long time dude that was not a dream i don't know if i took that was that was a little bit of that was that happened maybe mill it i'm saying it might like shit like what if it did happen they abducted me but then they like you fucking erase my memory man and blocked you yeah erase my memories sent me back down and then i just wake up in the morning and i'm like whoa that was crazy like

there's so real there are some videos that i see that are like low quality and you can still tell that they're fucking fake and not real but there are some when you're just like they're like their reactions like you can tell when someone's acting not acting like there are I mean it's happening something's happening I'm I'm ready for it I'm not afraid of it whatever happens happens Matt Kendrick was sitting me up he's like yo what do in a situation like this I'm like nothing they have

they understand the speed of life we have nothing we're animals to them we're cattle I don't even know if it's speed of light I think it might be like more of a different black hole is that why you watch world the world a different form of travel how did you know I was watching world the world it shows up on Apple TV what you're watching

you do know that is I said this guy's tweaking. The world was cute. Okay. So for the record, I started watching and I'm like, I started watching. I started watching. I'm like, I'm going to watch this with Live in Jude because I haven't watched in a while. But there are all the people that watch movies on that account.

Just be a little more aware that I see what you're watching. I couldn't give a fuck less. I used to always click on your stuff and like just kind of, I wouldn't click just to see what you're watching. But I'd be like, let's see what ideas I can get, see if I wouldn't watch any of this. You're looking for some inspiration from What's his name? Fucking Brad or not Brad Pitt Who's in Guy Ritchie

No, Where of the Worlds Oh Tom Cruise You were looking for some inspiration? Why inspiration for what? In case they ever fucking In case the tripod's ever come? So see what we're supposed to do? Yeah.

No, I was just watching I've been watching space movies Like I watched a rival again Aner Alien movie Yeah, Interstellar Obviously It's more of like physics is that aliens?

Yeah. There's entities. Oh, I don't remember. It's like a space movie. It's like a space movie. I guess it's aliens, kind of. Interstellar is crazy. Interstellar is so good.

Might be the greatest movie of all time. Of all time? I don't know, but it is up there. Fuck Maven and his opinion on it. What do you say it sucks? Yeah, he says the most overrated. His brain just can't even like comprehend what's going on. What is it?

Ravers? His brain can't comprehend what's going on. No, no. I mean neither can mind if someone told me to explain. interstellar, I'd be like, yeah, I don't fucking. So almost like if someone said explain the matrix, I wouldn't really be able to explain. What the fuck? It's easy.

How do you, especially nowadays? How do you explain the matrix? Have you ever heard of the simulation? Yes. Okay, movies about a simulation and how a guy got out of it. But what kind of simulation? This one, life. Yeah, machines made a simulation to keep us dumb.

Because they need our BTUs. Yeah. Getting outside of the. corporate. Does it annoy anybody else how Hitch thinks he knows college football? It's fucked. He's trying, he's trying so hard to,

like, get into that crowd. Just that, like, have something to do. It's like when people start golfing and shit. All right. You don't know what fuck about golf.

One last, one last question on Christmas, and then we'll, we'll send it off. If you could ask for anything in the world, it doesn't have to do a few, Abbs. Okay, abs for Christmas.

Or a couple mill. I don't know which one I want more. Same thing, right? It has nothing to do with the world. It's just. No, I mean, if it's a Ferrari, say a Ferrari. Like, I don't want you to say, world peace. Yeah, that's what I'm trying to. Yeah.

The PR answer. Oh, yeah, no, no. Yeah. World peace. Anything in the world. Would you choose 10 mil or world peace? 10 mil. I'm kidding.

I'm kidding. End the clip right before he said. No, you're not. World peace, of course. Duh. 50 mil or world peace? 50 mil. I'm kidding.

World peace, of course. Fuck, what would I... One thing that I want. I don't really want anything right now. I'm kind of content. Okay, you don't have to pay for it. Someone else is paying for it. No, that makes no difference.

I don't really need anything or want anything right now. Maybe a super nice car, but again, that's kind of like a one. I would want something. like unattainable like something from back in the day that like you can't get anymore Jesus Christ's crown or wait The thorns? Maybe not The shroud of Turin

The shroud of Turin What would be cool to get from like back in the Some object that has existed What would be the coolest object? The Tessaract Atlantis It's Fucking

I don't know a chunk of the pyramids now that'd be stupid dude I just saw that Mr. Beast rented out all three Egyptian pyramids for 100 hours for an upcoming video

how who do you pay for that the people of of Egypt how is that yeah that's insane yeah how was that legal at all like because if he gets to go on top of that pyramid like I want to go on top of that pyramid

I want to be one of those dogs up there just fucking yeah same barking pyramids really interest me Has he said what he's trying to do, or is it just like, yeah, I'm on top of the pyramid. Like, let's go. We spent the first one to get off the pyramid loses. I don't know what it is personally.

I was actually watching something about the pyramids and how they're like anti-chambers or they're not really like kind of weird how they look so big on the outside, but the rooms on the inside are so small. Mm-hmm. Yeah, what did they use the pyramids for? Wasn't it to like, weren't some people getting like buried there? and stuff like no they're not tombs they're not tombs they say they are maybe some of the chambers in there are but you i think i think literally they were just uh statements of knowledge i heard it was like a battery for the universe that could be too battery that could be like it was like electrical force that was placed at a certain place on earth because that's where it electronically could reach the

or i don't know i wouldn't even know how to explain it okay so they were covered in something else it was It wasn't stone. The stone is what's underneath to support the electrical current magnetism of the cord. You know what I was saying. I'm kidding. But what I was going to say is like I think it was more of a statement of knowledge. Like if you look at, look at weird facts about the pyramids, you'll see that the biggest one has the, it's, it's, it's not, what do you call it? This is so funny hearing him talk, knowing what he watches.

Because he watches ancient aliens. No, I haven't watched ancient aliens in a long time Yeah, you see though he watched it Yeah, no, of course I did You didn't watch that? No, I don't watch it at all You don't care about what's out there No, I don't watch documentary type stuff

Unless it's like crime You probably get scared No, unless it's like true crime stuff I watch like what happened To the Mendez brothers You know like that? I didn't watch that show The Menendez brothers are all fuck they called

No, I remember I remember But I did I did sorry I did hear that they were molested By the father Is that right? Yeah, good, let them free what yeah no kill him yeah fuck that fuck that guy yeah what the fuck no don't fuck that guy um kill him

that show is fucked up i'm not watching i don't like seeing shit like that no they didn't really like show any of that but yeah if they if they show them taking revenge on that sure what were gonna say gonna say oh i dated someone who like couldn't watch just because he said he doesn't watch documentaries and stuff. Not saying this is you. But I dated someone who couldn't watch stuff like about consciousness and the universe and how big spaces because it would just like give

them anxiety and they would feel so uncomfortable like talking about it or even like thinking about it. Yeah. Because it is fucking, it's kind of scary but like what is going? I think opposite. I think opposite too. What is going on? I think the universe is so big that I'm so small that it doesn't matter. It's kind of comforting that

like in a hundred years nobody's going to give a fuck. No one. So. Let's run this shit. Let's run it up. You know what I'm saying? Something's so magical about this. Like, how is this existing? And this small.

I'm still dating someone, my wife, who gets, who, whose nervous system gets altered by anything violent. So we watched, we rewatched Jurassic Park One with Liv for the first time. And after the T-Rex ate the guy shitting, she was like, oh, my God, I couldn't fucking watch it. I'm like, oh, my God, you could tell us fucking fake. Really? Yeah. So she doesn't. watch anything that like is

gory. Yeah. And that's all I watch. I feel like Jurassic Park is not. I mean, of course there's a little bit, but it's like. It's PG-13. She's 43. Get it together.
