What did you remember about this? That red tower in the middle of it. You don't remember that shit? That thing was about X-Games. You remember that thing? I just remember a hot-ass tent? I was blanked down. I just remember a jenga tower and smoothies.

I remember walking out of our hotel. I remember the-jutor. Welcome back to episode 203 of the optic podcast. We've got three special gentlemen in the room. We've got Formal Piper. We've got Scump Abner. Howdy? And of course, the returning Optic member, Rejoining Optic, Ian Crimson's Port.

He's fucking back. Yay! How's it going? Bro, I literally, I sat down this morning. So obviously, I knew Ian was joining back for a while now, but the first topic on the board says Crim Six rejoins Optic. I'm like, we're announcing this shit on the pod. Let's go. But I think there's something else.

There's going to be something before this. Well, how's your announcement look? Have you seen it yet? Yeah. Pretty good. Wait, let me just take a guess. He's pulling up in a race car.

He gets out. He's in an optic hoodie or something. He's in something optic. Maybe the new winter collection. And he says, oh, I'm back. Is it something like that? You had the first part, right? Yeah.

Except it was, you guys remember that like turtle wax thing we did? Yeah. Way back. Yeah. There was like throwback clips. of that. So I thought that was because that's really how I got into racing in the first place.

Turtle wax? Was that yeah that little Vegas thing we did like way back in the day. Oh really? That's like what sparked the yeah yeah. And I mean that was the second time I went the first time I was with Hector and Nate. Okay. Yeah but I was hooked from that moment. Yeah dude that

that was sick. I drove a Ferrari for the first time. That's like always been in my dream car. That was a pretty cool experience over there. Dude, you should have bought that car. I told you. You should have bought that car. That car's worth like a million bucks now. Which one?

The one I told you, especially all they. I fucked up. Yeah, I mean, it's just, it's, it, it was, it was a dream, but, you know, it's life comes at you fast and then you got to pay a mortgage. So, and you got a, what, what the fuck are you scoffing at you? I got a mortgage. I got, I just got lines put in the house. I heard you say life comes out.

Oh, bro, look at that. That pissed you off. Holy shit. I'm my unc phase, bro. Was that the car? Yeah. Oh, my God. You could have bought it for what?

Imagine that in the house drive away? Low, 350. High 450. I mean, sell it now, not even drive it. You just look at it. Okay, but back then, my financial situation was a lot different than it is now.

That's true. Because how long ago was that? That was back in 1235 days. 2015. Yeah, that was. Oh, yeah, you were poor back then. It was 10 years ago almost. Oh, what the fuck?

Yeah, dude. Isn't that crazy to think about it? Yeah, it's crazy to think you were broke back then. What the hell? That's crazy, dude. But yeah, it's good to have you back, man. This is our first piece of content back. So are you going to be, like, around here?

Because I know you got the racing going on. Yeah, so it's a little bit complicated. Like, the sim racing stuff is obviously good practice. And that's, imagine, like, imagine if you you know you can't stream scrims yeah like you can't really stream what i'm doing i'm just like practicing wise i'm by myself you know two to three hours a day no one else on track i'm just doing you know doing fucking circles over and over and over then i'll go look at data then i'll do more circles and it's just it's like sort of boring and watch so the plan is is to

do that sort of off stream maybe some days do some actual racing versus people on stream, but do that and then Call of Duty. But rank play has just been hell. Yeah, I mean, I've... See,

I don't know, everyone's been telling me that I'm having a different experience than everyone else, because apparently all the cheaters and booters and stuff, they don't do it against streamers. Me. No, they do against everyone else but me. Yeah. It's against Seth. I heard that.

I heard that too. Because Colt's obviously been playing like literally nonstop. So I take his opinion pretty much over anyone else's. He's literally hasn't got off the game since rank play dropped. So and he's like, dude, yeah, it's like when I'm not playing with you, I'm just getting cheated on, like aim locked, servers are getting booted. Then when we play, we just win for six hours straight. Yeah.

Unless we play like another four stack and then it depends who just plays better. You have insane aura? I mean, yeah, it sounds like I'm a pretentious douche, but I mean, that's just what fucking, that's what everyone's been telling me. So I might be the anti-cheat. I've heard that, too. Yeah.

People don't hack against you for some reason. I might be the anti-cheat, dude. I think a lot of them come out for dark, too. Yeah, that's true. I'm not going to lie. Oh, you played during the day. Yeah. You played in, like, the day when, like, normal people are, like, up.

When the normal people are. Not all normal people, because there's still a lot of cheaters during the day. Yeah. But, like, once the sun goes down. The creatures come out. They come out. freaks come out of My stream's on with like

No cam Like I look so hackable Yeah You know what I mean Like they just They don't care to Yeah I actually feel that Because I was playing

I usually play like up until around like five Maybe six if I get home late And around like Around like four to five The lobbies definitely start getting Like a little more fishing Yeah it starts to turn And that's when kids start getting home from school

So maybe it's just a bunch of fucking High schoolers I bet you it is dude You think so? I don't know. Yeah, cheaters? Yeah. I don't know.

Dude, the ones that have used the voice comms, like, the in-game comms, like, they all sound older. There are psychos that will talk shit while they're doing it. Yeah, and they sound older. Like, pathetically older. Pathetically. Yeah, like a lot older. Yeah, I've been enjoying ranked. I've played for three days now.

And, I mean, I've been enjoying it. But, again, people say I have a different experience. It is fun. I mean, we haven't played too much of it. But, um, we have, I'll, I'll, I've only ran into, I've heard once you hit, like, crimson, iridescent. That's what it gets, like, really bad. We don't play nearly enough to do that.

We play a few matches of the day. Really? What else do you do? We still do 3V-3s. Are you playing wagers and stuff? Because I saw you guys playing with Marcel last night. Yeah, we did like a, we tried to do, like, or we did like our cod gauntlet where we win like a bonte player map, a ranked map, and then a war zone win, and then we did the

zombie's Easter egg. We did it all in, like, four hours. It was fucking sick. Yeah, that's fine. Have you done the Easter egg yet? No, I haven't played any zombies And I always tell myself When a new cod comes up

Like yeah, I'll try zombies, never do You're the Terminus one? Never do. I did the Terminus one, yeah, Termin's one's fun That one, it's, I've never done Like an Easter egg before It's like, it's literally like a fucking raid He's like a Destiny boss at the end

Oh really? That's kind of dope. Yeah, I've seen that. A force stack with you guys That would be fucking thing to watch Matt, what did we do that one night? We just did nothing I mean, wait

Wait, did we do No, we didn't do these right We just, we just glitch Oh yeah, we're trying to do the boat glitch Oh yeah Oh isn't that where the zombies just unlimitedly spawn? Yeah, yes, dude And you can just level up like infinitely

Blacked out, just head glitching the boat Oh, that's so good Dude, I wasn't speaking for like I'd say something and then 10 minutes of silence Then I'd say another than 10 minutes of silence Just turn around on reloading, I'd turn around and reloaded LNG just laying down just seriously You didn't have one spot.

That's got to make Nebula pretty easy to get now, no? If you just do that. I had some help with it, but yeah. I did a lot of headshots on that. It made a lot easier. Well, there's also some now, like, redirected mode where, like,

you can stop the zombies progression at, like, a certain round. So you can stop at, like, round 11 if you want, around 15 if you want. And they'll just keep spawning? They'll just keep spawning. They'll just keep spawning,

the same amount of zombies that spawned in round 15. With, like, the same amount of manglers. So you don't have to stop. You can just keep spawn killing the same boss if you want it. When you're going for Nebula at the beginning, like once you hit like round 30, it was not even worth it. Oh, yeah, you just quit. Yeah, you just so bad.

You quit out and go back in. It felt it was, you wasted so much time. Wait, why? Because the zombie just got so hard. They're so hard. You can pack a punch three your gun and be the like the max out of your gun and it still takes like six shots per zombie. Oh, really? They fucked up the scaling.

It was brain wrong. Everything's brain wrong. It was fucking crazy. It was fucking crazy. But also, let's talk about this really. quick. Activision says it's made over 19,000 Call of Duty black up six rank play bands already. Do we believe

this shit? No. I feel like that's nothing still. I might believe it, but I don't think that's anything. They should have started with the top down. First off, like... I think they did been the number one guy. The number one guy was named like dash dash. I thought it was DG 9-11

At first it was two hyphens. That was the guy that was number one over Colt for like a while. Really? They banned that guy. Yeah, and then they banned someone else. I thought it was DG something. That was the guy who came out from the national guy. Apparently that guy has VPNs to China or something. Yeah, I know. Yeah, like, but why wouldn't they at least start from the top down?

So, because all the people that are bitching about it are mainly in the comp community. I mean, there's probably some casuals that know they're getting hacked on and they're like, what the fuck. But I feel like most of the people you see like visually bitching about it are from the cop community. So why not ban all the top 250 cheaters? So at least everyone's like, okay, maybe they did ban some people. because all the top 250 cheaters are gone now. Is the top 250 still just infested with cheaters? Oh, dude, yeah.

Every single game that you match another top 250 team, unless it's people you know, they are either going to hit the lobby off or they're just going to let you win. It's like sometimes they'll let you win, but most of the time they hit the lobby off. There's literally a guy named Booter Boy. We played him yesterday.

And he couldn't boot the lobby. He fucking choked. He couldn't boot it off because it was the Cali server. Yeah, that one server. You can't boot one server The Kali one's harder to boot off For some reason It'll just struggle

It's just a lot of struggling He's in there just Yeah he's giving it as all Yeah so booter boy choked Wait what if it's like a next level Okay thing about this way If you're a hacker in Top 250 That means you're fucking grinding right

It means you're playing every day You're hacking every day So what if they think Like Trey Arc thinks like Don't ban those guys Because they're just going to make new account And grind back up Top 50 again Let them get super high

super deep, get like a really seasoned account, and then ban them so it feels way heavier. And they're just like, oh my God, all that SR, 18,000 SR gone. I don't think they're thinking like that. All of the cheaters... Truthfully, I think they're on Thanksgiving break. Yeah, it should be in this point.

Yeah, an extended one at this point. But I don't think the cheaters care, because they have to know they're not going to keep their top 250. Like, they have to know they're getting bad. Like, I know some of them definitely know that and don't give a fuck. They're just literally wasting their time. just raged. I can't imagine that.

They are literally sitting there wasting their time every day. Like, are they streaming to TikTok at least? Just holding down left click. Dude. It was just... Just wasting their time. No, like...

I just don't understand it. Do they need to go to prison? No. No, they need to die. Sorry. Sorry, sorry. At least somebody got the phone. They'll have the realization years down the road

and like, holy shit. shit. You think so? What the fuck was that? Yeah. I think some of them will. I think some of them will. Dude, I want to know what they do when they match because, like, we only have our perspective on matching hackers. I wonder what happens when one hacker team goes to a

versus another hacker stream. Is there hacker beef? There's a guy. Is there a hacker goat? Like, is there like a goat that they all kind of respect? It's like the guy that made the discord or something. Like, I don't understand. There's got to be somebody. probably some crazy games out there. There's some insane lore behind the scenes.

Imagine they just run customs, 4-4s. They're like, whoever wins. Yeah, though, that's insane to think about. It would just be insane. There's probably been some anime battles in rank play that we haven't even seen. Never documented. Hold, let me read this really quick.

AI systems continue to ramp up code optimization to accelerate enforcements. See, but this is what I don't get. I thought Rickashay was like a fool-on thing. What the fuck are AI systems ramping up? Did it? was supposed to be. Was ricochet made by Call of Duty?

Is it Call of Duty's anti-cheat? I think it's Colonel? I think so. Can you look that up? Who made RICOchet? I had just never heard of RICOchet. The Carnal? I think it's the Colonel.

You think it's the Colonel's anti-cheats? I think he's making chicken and anti-cheats. That thugger. How many? Yeah, Activision Blizzard created RICOe. Yeah, okay. That shit's garbage. How many notifications have you guys gone?

that you've gotten someone probably like 10 I've gotten like three yeah not many but I'm also I've also put a lot of rank I also don't report a lot because they don't cheat against this so don't say us I just don't know

but yeah it's against all streamers it's a kernel level driver which monitors I don't know what the fuck that means it's a kernel level driver it's just the most Activision way of saying it's like it's shit does not work we're working on it It doesn't work yet.

Here is the answer. We are going around the answer. But yeah, I don't know. It's not as bad for us, but it's just, I think this was my theory yesterday on stream, and it's probably completely wrong. But I feel like they released rank play a day early, right? They released multiplayer ranked a day early because I don't know. This doesn't really make sense.

But I think they wanted to see how bad the cheating was on multiplayer before warzone drops. You might be right. Because they don't give a fuck about multibreasing. most of the time. That's not a bad. Yeah, I think we're the lab rats in this situation. Because imagine,

so multiplayer, they got to pay $70 to cheat, plus whatever the cheats cost, plus all that shit. Warzone's free. Oh my God. So scary. Yeah, I'm not even...

And it's big map. It's not like it's resurgence. It's fucking big map. You can run and stay alive. It's like if you die, you're in the gulag and it's... It's, yeah. Have they announced how they're going to do Warzone ranked?

Because you know, you need, 50 wins to play multiplayer. I don't think you need anything. Dude, they better hope it works by then. That's the scariest thing you've ever said. That's why I think they tested it on multiplayer to see how bad it was going to be. That's not a bad theory, bro.

I'm not going to lie. That's not bad. Your theories have always been insane. I mean, fuck me. It's the only thing to make sense. They usually drop multiplayer ranked in like February or January. Now they dropped it in early November. Like they got to be just like, fuck these kids.

Let's lose them as the last. Lab rats and let's see if our Wors and a little golden egg. Are we going to play a warzen wreck? I don't know. Are we? We could try it. I'm kind of getting bored of a ranked multiplayer

I can't like. Really? All right. Super bored but like kind of bored. Like I'm not going for number one because I'm not beating Colt. So like you just want to get top to 15th. I'm just like a 10th right now.

10th to like 15th like just like lingering. Yeah. Can there be like a top five skin? Like you know? Yeah, I don't love how they did that. Like it's really cool. I think they should always keep that number one exclusive skin.

But I also think that they're should be tiers in the top 250 that make you want to keep playing in the top 250. Like, oh, number 2 to number 50 get this exclusive skin. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, that's, yeah, 50 or 100 get this. Because now it's kind of like, once you get in, which I'm not even in yet, I'm at like 11,000 something. You'll get in.

I mean, yeah, once they ban all the cheaters, I'm probably already in. Yeah, that's true, too. But yeah, they should make it like some exclusive items in the top 250. I agree. Because yeah, Colt's going to get that. I mean... Dude, Warzone rank plays about to be insane. It might be insane.

This is like the combo before the storm. When does Warzone rank come out Thursday? I think the fifth. What's today? I don't know. The first, second? Third. Holy shit, I'm blacked out.

What's the map for it? Is it the... Erzikstan. Oh, really? Yeah. I'd play that. Oh, wait. I'd rather...

Dude, I cannot stay in the Area 99 anymore. Oh, yeah. No, Area 99. Oh, yeah. Area 99 was fun for... It was really fun for like five days. Yeah. I think I'm really boring.

Wait, yeah, what comes out? Does Verdance come out on the 5th? No. Is it new zombies now? The Vance is March, bro. There's a couple new... You can have a cleaver. You can run around with a cleaver.

Oh yeah, it's literally just war zone rank play. Dude, those two weapon mods on the bottom left are going to be busted. The three round burst? There's probably one burst, both of them. XM4, three burst round? That's going to be... Yeah, that might be...

A stray one burst gun. But yeah, I'm down to try. If you want to try it. I'm down to devil. Oh shit. Wait, Hasi comes out on the 5th. Yeah, I wonder if they're going to put that in ranked. No, no, not right away.

No way. That would be vibes, dude. Just a random Hossi and us, like, hard point? Yeah, no, that would be vibes. Instead of like protocol or Red Guard. I'm down to, I'm assuming that's going to be the third control map. Hossie? Yeah.

Yeah, it makes sense. Think? Yeah. Because right now, I mean, what do you? What would you? No, we played control. No, on Hossi. I thought we did.

I don't think so. Well, would you even put the things? I think it was frequency. The water. Arsenal. I thought we played it at one. No, we didn't play Aussie control. It was Freak Arsenal and what the fuck was?

Seaside. Seaside. Yeah, I thought that too. I thought we played Hossi too, but then yeah. Yeah, we never did. It was only hard for us. I swear to God we like at least tested it because I remember one at the beginnings.

I don't remember. It seems like it would be a good control map. I mean, if you put the pool. I mean, it's better than the water point. Yeah. Like one at the fence. Put one at the fence. rock and then put one at fences.

Yeah. Or like, yeah, I think that that might play decent. I mean, it's got to be better than what we're playing now because I was just about to ask, what control map do you guys like hate playing right now?

I fucking can't stand vault. Yeah, I mean, like you get Volt the most because it's probably the best control map. Like, in terms of like, if I'm scrimming, like, it's probably the best one. Rewind's not even a game mode. But loki, I like playing in rank

because you can kind of speed run it. You just literally go off the points and use like instant away offense. I don't think I've played rewind control one down. And then protocols. like, I don't say I hate protocols and map, but like, control specifically do you just get spawned? You get spawned.

Yeah. Control in general is just not good this year. It's just not. You can get spawn trapped. Like, I'm sure, and I was saying this, I mean, it's like, it's such a different it's such a different, like, mind whenever you're scrimming and you understand every little thing about control. When you're just

playing it in rank, dude, it is miserable. Because, like, I don't know all the spawns like the back of my fucking hand. So it's like, dude, I'm just getting spawn killed, ran at. I don't know any of the timings. So control is kind of... In scrims, you know the other teams

are like they're playing for the win and rank play. Like there just might be that one guy running around. Just check. Just playing for checkouts. That's me. Because I don't know what the fuck's going on. So I'm just running around hoping shit goes my way. You have like a breakoff. It's like 30 seconds goes by. No points are being off by the other team and you haven't seen a person yet.

You're like, what are they leaving? And they comes out of Voltdoor. That's how I feel Volt is. You can run around Volt and not find a single person. There's so many rounds. It's like insane. But yeah, Hossi comes out. So maybe they'll add that into rank play.

Maybe they'll, I'm sure they'll add that into the competitive rotation. At least I'd probably ask them with the Hossi. That'd be fun. Yeah. I'm on a bet they just throw that in there. Don't even ask. See, that'd be great. Just throwing hard point and search on it right away and see what happens.

Fuck yeah. I'm down. But also this Friday, it's time. The watch party's back. CDL begins on Friday. I'm fucking hype, dude. Me too. I'll be there on Friday.

Wait, you actually want to come on Friday? No, I'm contractually. I'll get it to go on Friday. But I'm excited. Oh, really? I'm excited.

Well, that kind of makes me feel like shit. I was like, oh, wait, he's actually... Oh, no, I'm down, though. Because actually, the thing about the other watch party, like last year is I didn't play the game at all. Yeah. This one I've been grinding.

So I actually understand the game, and it's like, I actually think this is a really good guy. God. It's like I'm down to watch it. You know what I mean? I'm going to be invested into it. I'm curious to see, like, it's always interesting because last year, like, when the watch party started up,

it's just always interesting for games that we don't play competitively, like how quickly we're going to learn all the nuances by watching the minimap. Oh, dude, yeah, you learn everything. Because, like, right now, I mean, we have a pretty basic understanding of the game. We can play it in rank play.

We know most of the spawns, but we don't know, like, the secondary and third spawns. Speak for yourself. Speak for yourself. I feel like... You don't know all that. that shit. I know all that shit. Yeah, I mean, I was in theater.

Me and Matt were like playing aides versus like pros and stuff. And I felt like we were actually really good compared to them. And then the moment they started like pro scrims. A week later, I was like, what? It did get a lot harder.

Dude, that's how I felt last year. I played in the early like pro eights and shit and I was actually like kind of tucking. And then I didn't even, I didn't even want to step foot in them after because it's like, oh, dude, now they know every single timing. Now I'm just going to look like a bot because they're scrimming.

Yeah. Screaming definitely is the best way in the game. Like, their slide canceling every fucking, like, timing, like,

perfectly. Because the other team's also playing fastest shit in scrims, like, and then you just, like, learn everything.

Like, that's how it be, man. And I tried, I tried to tell the stream that yesterday, but I was like, you really don't understand how much that helps.

Because, like, I mean, we've all played professionally for a long time, man, it's like, bro. Yeah, and I mean,

rank play, like, just any sort of 4V4 versus a team that doesn't know what they're doing, right? Or they're not playing together every day. Like, scrimms are going to feel so much faster. And then once you get used to that super fast timing,

then rank plays is like slow motion. Yeah. Yeah. It's like you're just going through the motions. Everything is like, yeah, you just know where everyone's going to be at. But I'm hyped for the CDL, man. We've got LAG versus Minnesota. I don't think they could have picked a worst match to kick the season off.

Sorry, the L.A. Gentlemates. It's the Los Angeles gentlemen mates. I can't lie. I do want to watch Paul X play. It will be kind of dope to have Gautaga's fan base in the league, though, because Gautaga's fucking huge. He's gigantic. Yeah, he's huge. He's gigantic, dude. What's funny about that, Porter?

Pause. Nothing. I thought you were talking about Paul X at first. Oh, no. What the fuck? Jesus. That's fucking... I love Paul.

Dude, I've played Paul X and ranked a few times now. Dude, he is blacked out. Like, I actually want to see him play because I actually think he's really good. Yeah? Yeah, I'm not even trolling. I think he's really good. Paul's fucking disgusting. I think he's really good.

We almost picked Paul up and fucking, uh, whenever Ender was hurt. Oh, yeah, yeah. We almost pick Paul up, low key. Paul and Ender almost the same person. Yeah? Same gameplay, same person. Like, I don't even, I don't know where it starts and where it ends, but he's solid. Yeah.

He's good. Yeah, he's good. So we got L.A.G. versus Minnesota to kick things off. We got Optic, Texas, obviously the boys versus the breach. I haven't heard shit about the Boston Bridge. I haven't heard shit about any of the teams. Because they all stop scrimming so early. It's like, we don't know.

I mean, you can obviously make your guesses, but we don't know like who's nasty. Unless you're like talking to the pros behind the scene. Like, how would you know? Because they... I want to see Falcons play too. It took a bird matcher. The Ravens and the Falcons.

I heard Tommy Zuma As Sid He's like, how scrim's going, yada yada And he said the words, we're learning Oh That means you're getting torched They're getting torched Absolutely torched

Yeah Yeah I mean We're still learning spons What? We're fucking a month in You're getting shorted I feel like if you're not saying You're winning

Or you're playing well Right Then it's kind of sketch I did play seven one of the turnies That kid is fucking turn as well Yeah Yeah Dude all the younger kids

are just so turned now. It's like, holy shit. Yeah. They're all just fucking, well, not all of them. I also think Kyler needs to be in the league, can't lie. Kyler? Yeah. You've not seen that kid fly yet? Oh yeah, no, I've seen him in eights. He's like plus 10 every single map. He's like B-O-4, Kyler, in tens. Which makes sense, because this game is kind of like a, it's kind of a bang-out.

Yeah, no, this fits his place to all really. It's literally like B-O-4. It's just fast, makes it just chaos. He thrives in it. Yeah, he thrives in that shit. But we got Optic versus Breach. I wonder who Kyler's going to join, because I think Kyler is, Kyler is number one right now. He's a number one guaranteed to get picked up.

Just because everyone sees how good he plays. He's obviously, he's a vet now. Everyone's seen him play forever. I just wonder what team he's going to go to. Wait. Who's going to pull the trigger the fastest on a team? No, yeah. I mean, probably, we'll be known like a month probably.

Oh, yeah. He'll probably be on a team after the holiday break. Teams can, like, put aside getting shot on the scrimms for now. Until the league starts and then you're like, oh and six, oh and four, one and three. Like, that's when you're like, let's just pick up Kyler. I think he's going to be on a team after the holiday break. Yeah.

Like when we come back from the holiday break, he'll be on the team. It's going to be a good Christmas for him. It's going to be a good Christmas for Kyle. And New Year. Yeah. But then we've got the Falcons taken on the Royal Ravens. I mean, not really the most exciting match, but I'm excited to see the Falcons. I just want to see how they're going to do this year. Obviously, a lot of question marks around them.

I mean, really a new region joining the CDL. Who's on Carolina? Who is it? Teage. Oh, it's TjC? Big Teech. And Gwynn? Tashir.

Who's their fourth? Is it a Booza? No. I'm just throwing out of it. I don't know. Is it Fellow? I don't think it's Johnson. Who the fuck is Carolina's fourth?

Is it Rees? Yeah, vivid. Okay. Yeah, I don't know. That match will be all right. I'm always rooting for Teage. But that Toronto versus Faze match, I'm looking forward to that one.

Yeah, the New Toronto. I don't know. Yeah. I think that could be a slammy whammy though. Toronto. Can Faze just be like shit for one year? Like I just cannot like. But this game is like perfect for Faze.

I know. It looks so good for them. It's like a Cold War high, not really high time to kill, but there's definitely like a lot of gun skill needed in the gunfights. Just because how fast all the movement is and shit. Like this is like one of those games that's just good for them. They'll be really good. I think hot take maybe. As long as sliding is in play, I think,

phase will always be good. And I don't think it's ever going anywhere. I don't even think it's up out of a hot take. I think that's true. Have you ever, we've never talked about that. Because we, during our tenure, we had to adjust every fucking year.

These guys have just got the same game for the past seven years. Yeah, that is true. Imagine if we had jet packs for seven years. Fuck me. It's a fucking wet dream. They didn't do the same shit. The fuck.

No adjustments needed. We went from fucking I.W. To World War II. The muskets. we went from space combat to fucking artillery strikes dude fucking Connor McGregor and cut to actually actually getting bayoneted

I'm like what the fuck yeah you're getting ran at like this he was going to go to the sandbag and stabbing me and shit let's switch it up maybe next year huh are we just gonna keep on I mean I don't I genuinely don't think that's a decent point dude dude it was like I don't want to say it was depression where did you go are you all right yeah I took a call

Sorry, sorry. I don't want to say it was like depression, but like remember when we went from IW to World War II and we're like, this game's fucking sad? Like it's just gloomy as shit. No colors. And there's like it, by the way, go like GBs every day. So World War II was kind of sad?

Well, going from IW. Like all the Jetpack games to World War II, one of the darkest call of duties ever. The Forest, Gibraltar. Oh my God, the maps were so depressing. So gloomy. No color. We were on console.

the color was already, like, not as good as PC. You can't change your. The FG 42, though. I think true. Yeah, three bullet kills on Cabin Wall. That gun for ARs in that game. Oh, my gosh. That game was Hitscan, right?

But, Davis, we were just talking about how the new generation, they haven't had to change up their shit at all. They went from MW 2019 sliding to every iteration just has sliding. Oh, yeah. We went from IW to World War II. Oh, y'all have an unc talk. Think about, like, Cold War. Well, I don't think it's going to change.

Go ahead. Cold War versus Black Ups 6 is like the same game, but with the Omni movement. Yeah. It's the exact same. But we went from Black Ups 2 to Black Ups 3, you know, even goes to AWRRening, a specialist. Ghost to AW was an insane transition. Yeah. That was insane transition.

Yeah, it was. We're playing blitz and sliding, but it's like this little like shit slide that no one ever does. Yeah. No one was doing that. It was like no one was doing that shit. You use it to slide into the blitz point. And you saw it in the drop off too. There was a big player drop off.

from AW to or from Ghost to ADW. Really? Not like completely different style game. Sorry, like pros. There are pros that were really good at ghosts and then they retired. Because it just completely sweet. It was a completely different game.

Oh, yes. It was like a brand new game. That to me, the Jetpack games felt more like Halo than they did classical. Yeah, like AW felt like Halo 5, like just like Halo 5. Yeah, that shit was insane. You got a backpocket dash every gunfight.

That's insane. I don't think we're ever going to, I don't know if they'll ever change it. Because if they change it, what's war zone going to be? Just running, no sliding? That's the thing. It's never going to change. And as long as war zone does well, they're not, they don't have no reason to change. What did, I think I saw something the other day about what Microsoft is going to do or thinking about doing.

Oh, man, I can't remember. But it sounded like they were thinking about separating the three, zombies, multiplayer, war zone. Oh, my God. If they did that, Cod might be great again. Yeah. That would be gone like. I even hit how zombies is warzoning with plates and shut. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, even zombies is war zone. Yeah, everything is like war zone. It's just all, it's just been like, I mean, really just, yeah, warzonedified. Yeah, warzonedified, everything. Even the gunsmith in multiplayer is like, there's 600 attachments. There's 60 red dots you can choose from. It's fucked. Do you think, like, if it goes back, if it went back to like a pick 10 that like, like the normies would like it?

Yeah. You think so? At least the multiplayer normies. Yeah. Well, I just, again, so it's like every, all the maps they make, they put into war zone kind of, like they implement them into big map. Oh, yeah. But like, imagine a world where they just did pick 10 and made it like a straight up multi. I think everyone would love it.

Because then you actually have some variation too. That makes war zone even more fresh for the people that are playing multi. It's like, oh, I want a new experience. I can go play. It's like two different. If you go, like, if you went to like, if there was a call. of duty multi like a multiplayer game and it was like his scan oh my god and then you got to go to you could just like go to to war zone it's a different game but like obviously that it's called

both call of duty have elements with each other i feel like that's what i think blackups for and like blackout was yeah like that's literally what that was maybe there was some similarities with like stem maybe but like it was like two different games yeah maybe we're just unks maybe this point in our lives. Maybe we should just stop bitching. Yeah. We're just fucking unks at this point. This podcast is brought to you by Shopify.

I'm trying. I'm trying. I'm trying. He's been trying for years. Oh, man. I mean, now it's like, fuck. If you put some serious coin for it. Everybody knows.

But y'all would play on like Thursday nights. Yeah. The night before, have some beers and play. I think y'all would do it. Would you play? I'm playing. I'm trying to... This game I'd play.

Yeah, what? Who's going to be drinking beers? I mean, if other people... If other people were down to, like, actually do that, I would, but I feel like, people wouldn't want to do that. They'd want to go hard. Really? Yeah.

If there was an Unc League, would... Seth and I were talking about it, like, a couple months ago. Because I was like, it should be an S&D League, and then Seth's like, no, it should be variant. Us 3 would, even Damon, honestly, us 4 would dominate. That's what I'm saying. If you guys played in a variant league and I hit up sharp

And I'm like, hey man You want to play in this Put him against his first match What the fuck? I'm just kidding No, but S&D is like Everything is S&D only It's like

If it's gonna be a league It's got to be a fucking league It's got to be a legitimate I don't even know if there's a five I don't know if there's a lot It's hard for me to like S&D If I'm not playing with the same team Every fucking night

Like Yeah Going through all those tournaments With different teams like especially the one where I was stacked on. Yeah, I mean, like, you're playing with people that you never played it before. So you fucking, you just have, like, random-ass strats.

Like, it doesn't really feel that serious. Your subduro is not hitting bomb with you. You're your baby. Now I'm just fucking blooded again. Yeah, like, it's just like, it's kind of weird. But hard play will always be fun. Like, respawn will always be fun, you know? Yeah.

Yeah, respawns the most, especially, yeah, with, like, pick up teams, I feel like respawns just more consistent than search. Search, you need fucking strats. You need to know what you're, everyone's doing. It only feels like super satisfying. play a search round when you have a stride and it works when you're playing with a team you know what I mean

like we went over the shit I told you that would work those names always land you know what I'm saying like it's just different yeah do you think but like who would even the teams be that would play respawn it would be kind of hard to find it would be very hard to find either or yeah I'd be a lot easier to find SD teams well yeah if you're saying striccid content creators I'm thinking about like former pro players

I'm thinking of former pros as well like but like way back to be down to play hard point if I hit up big timer and I'm like hey oh yeah like I'm talking like all he's not gonna want to play search either yeah he ain't playing right he's not gonna want to play any of it anyway that boy will's on to viner pastures he is he's trading stocks and living in florida just fighting off gators chilling fuck sake he's in florida yeah he moves to florida yeah stop using that's sorry but it's true fucking big timer lives in florida just gone now what is this reality

You said it so sad. Yeah, what the hell? Oh, wait. I actually wanted to see this. Call of Duty gets community noted on Twitter. What does that mean? Oh, that's hilarious. What does that mean?

Community noted? Yeah. So, like, you've seen these on Twitter, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so let me see what this is. So what are those? So it's basically like if the, if, uh, it's to get rid of like misinformation. Like propaganda?

Yeah. So if whatever the original tweet is is, is not. not correct. It's like a lie. They're like, this is not actually what it's saying. Then they'll say what is real. Oh my God. So they're frauds. So it's basically what they're saying. That's what that's saying. I think just enough people in the community brought up the hit reg issue. Like who wrote that? Like if somebody brings up a political rights that. I don't know. That's what I want to know. I think Elon himself. If someone brings up a political, if there's a political tweet that's like smearing. I understand it. Yeah. But who wrote that? That's a good question. Like, did Activision

right it? Might be, what's his name, Gronk? Wait, are you talking about the Cod updates? What's Twitter's AI Grock? Oh, what fuck is their AI called? I don't know. Are you talking about the Cod updates original tweet? Or are you talking about the community?

I'm talking about the fucking giant thing in the middle of the screen. That starts it. Readers added context and ends it, do you find this help? Dude, did you guys see the, like when people will shoot you in the legs and they'll get the headshot, head markers? Yes. Oh, my God. All the time. I reported that every time.

is like the fucking worst. Whenever you guys, like Seth, whenever you die now in rank play, watch the kill cam, and there'll be times when they're shooting you in the legs, getting the double line hit markers. Yeah. Like they're getting headshots.

Is that a cheat or? No, it's something broken with the game. Oh, the hit right? So it's. Yeah. That's this.

So it's counting headshots at your legs. Yes. Oh, that's probably why I lose some gun fights and I'm just like, what? Yeah. No, I was like just scrolling the timeline

and Mutex made a fucking 10-minute video and I was hooked. I was like, I was like, wait a second. What the fuck was that? Okay, well, that's fucking insane. That needs to be fixed now. That is like one of the most game-breaking things

that could be out. Yeah. The hitbox is not being in the right place. You're getting shot in the kneecap and it's counting as your head. It's really what, Matt, would you say it's worse in war zone or? I had to happen more in war zone.

Yeah. Yeah. I'd have been way more. Warzone. I just reported them every time. I don't know. I don't know if it was their fault or not. I was just like, the fuck. It's probably the king. He just reported them. Yeah, I know what you're talking about.

Yeah. Yeah, I'm trying to just read this. So I did see a video on this yesterday, but so I don't remember who it was, but he basically made himself lag. Like he delayed his packets going out to the game to show how this was like incorrect or correct.

I don't remember which way it kind of Yeah, this is it, I think What is this way? What are you saying? Scroll down the Macray Oh my God, there's a lot of Yeah, so he literally makes himself lag So his packets are fucked

And he's showing like this. Oh my God Dude, I'm about to go on Wi-Fi. This is a crazy rabbit hole This guy went down. Yeah. What the fuck? The guy's invincible.

But then he does it on Warzone as well. Oh my. Oh, my God. So he gave himself packet burst. Dude, I need to have him. Wait, why is it? I saw it yesterday. What exactly?

Delaying my outgoing packets. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. I still don't know what packets are. Of what the game can look and behave like under bad networking conditions with a disconnect between server and clients. So he's basically showing what is happening to people. When they're lagging?

But he's making himself lagged to do it. So he's saying the game's not good when you're lagging? Is that what I'm going here? I'm so, I think even though I think it's the, you're not getting a hit marker. What's his ping here? You're not getting hit markers while you're 27. But the

blood coming out of the body is what's the issue. It's like getting a blood shot in Halo. Yeah, okay. We snipes someone and you don't get the fucking, you don't pop the shit. I powered through those years. Yeah. All the time. But we're in 2024, so how the fuck is that? Piant versus serve blood. Dude, look at the late this shit is.

Oh my God. Yeah, that's kind of crazy. I guess I don't know. He's basically just saying there's hit-reg issues in the game. Okay. I'm pretty sure. I can believe that. My God, he's shooting his coat.

His coat does. His coat has a pulse. If that guy springs was more concerned about. And then you shoot that? I don't know how that works. There's just areas in the body that aren't hit markers, but they make the blood come out. That could also be it.

Which I feel like it's kind of weird. Remember the skinny bot? Nine W? Oh, my God. Can shoot the legs? Bryce Ficceno. He can't shoot his legs. Who was our skinny bot?

Was it you? I think it was Damon. Oh, it was Barlow. I think it was Damon. But yeah, that's interesting. I just wanted to see that because I remember, I remember seeing it last night. I just didn't really understand it.

I mean, I'm not going to read all that right now. Yeah. I was more surprised with the blood splatters and anything. But it is funny that they got community noted because that just means that there's... Who the fuck writes those? There's something afoot. It's the same one. I still have an answer.

Oh, no, mine, it's a quote tweet. That is crazy. But what else do we got? We got Kai Sinat finishes with 728,000 subscribers. That's crazy, dude. That's over $2 million just off subs. Just money aside, though, 728,000 subs is an outrageous number. No, let's talk about the money.

Because that's... Okay, go. I mean, do your thing. That's like... Let's talk about the money really quick because, holy shit. That's wild. That's two and a half million dollars just off subs and he's running max ads. Is he actually?

He probably made like seven million dollars. Is he actually running max ads? I'm pretty sure. Oh my God. That would be insane. He might have made seven. He probably making more off ads and he has subs. Like way more.

He probably made like triple. Yeah, he probably made like 20 million off ads. Bro. He probably made like $65 million dollars. Dude. He fucking. Crazy. That's crazy.

His average viewers for being live for a month straight was a hundred and 18,000. With max ads. A hundred and 18,000 viewers. 30 days straight. His average. That just gave me was an instant. I mean, bro, I just, I want to see his dashboard.

I want to see his dashboard. I just, I want to see it. Please, Kai. Please let us see it. What I can't lie. What I think would be more interesting, though, is how much do you think he spent. He definitely invest in it But dude like he's like changing the game

Dude like streaming is like reaching a different level with his stream I can't lie it's like insane did you see the like it's only for that like for that style of streaming like that IRAL streaming Like gaming streaming is still in the fucking Yeah Hey guys I'm gonna play God all day We've been doing the same thing Yeah we've been doing the same thing yeah Exactly but I mean for IRL streaming and like this

This type of streaming yeah he changed he changed the game he's also just like really good with guess like he's like super like easy for like a new a list celebrity to come on and he can fucking entertain them and like talk to them and be cool with them and not make them feel weird you know what I'm saying like that I feel like that's a huge like perk that he has and he's like good at Mars and I were talking about yesterday like how many rappers do you think have more money than Kai? It can't be more than 10 he's probably like I'm saying He's in fucking commercials now, too. I'm saying he's so big, he's so big.

Current rappers? It's got so much money. Like current rappers. I mean, Drizzy, probably Tendrick. Yeah, so I'm saying like only, old baby Travis. Yeah, a little baby Travis.

And if you want to say like Eminem and like, I mean, yeah, I guess. Are you in like current? Yeah, like, I don't know. Like any, like there's just, I feel like the amount of, uh, like I think Drake said,

Drake said it in one of his songs that like, these streamers. are making more than who you guys are listening to. That's fine. That's facts. I think so. Somebody said that. I can't remember who.

Are they going to make a new like, you know, the Twitch rewards, right? Like the hearts. Yeah. He might need another one, dude. Oh, he needs his own. Yeah, like a one of one. Those numbers are unfath. Remember when they gave him the shoes?

Remember when Twitch gave him the shoes? Wait, what happened? I didn't see that. So like Twitch, for the, for the longest time, they never even acknowledged Kai. Yeah. Like on his come up? and then they finally sent him a package, and it was like, it was like shoes, but like, tortuified.

A small price to pay. Purple, purple Air Force ones or something. Yeah. Those are insane numbers, bro. Just like just scan that. Dude. Oh, he looks like 170 hours of 110,000 concurred. Dude, looking his face in the bottom right one.

He's like, he's like, he's like. What the fuck? Dude, he might have made 15. I'm sure he did, bro. Dude, if you go to the, also his VOD system on YouTube is insane. I think he had, I looked up his Social Blade yesterday,

430 million views this month on YouTube. Yeah, he's all over TikTok. He's, dude, he's killing it. I can't lie, dude, he is killing it. He's all, if I want to my TikTok right now, I'll scroll for five things. He'll be on. there. Especially when he doing sub-a-thons.

He probably made seven figures this month on Vod's on YouTube. Oh yeah. I would think, right? Because like... By replaying it. Like, that's fucking insane, dude. That's not the Vod channel, though. He has... If you look up like,

you know, look up like Kai Druski Kevin Hart and put that channel in Social Blade. So this is his like original channel. That's an insanely entertaining trio by the way. Oh, the A&P in them? No, Kai, Kevin, and fucking Drewski, that's like an insane trio, dude. Like, that's godlike. They're hilarious.

Oh, yeah. That is fucking insane. Yeah, no, he changed. He changed the game, man. Yeah, and I did. I mean, fuck me. You've seen the clip of talking about Marcel because we just did a podcast yesterday. This one, this one. 422 million. 400 42 million views

But yeah What else do we got to talk about What did you all say about CDO? I just talked about The match of on Friday, kind of which ones we're looking forward to. Wait, fucking, uh, when Vickle retired, right?

Yep, Vickle retired. He was a starter from Miami? Was he at the start of the year? Last year. Last year. Last year. Was he not started this year? No. Oh, never mind. I don't think so. Because I also think that Rancourt gets next up. Yeah? Yeah, I do. But that's also only based on off of like three eights I played against him.

Yeah. I feel like he could be retired. I thought he was good. I thought he was good. I don't know though. Is there, is there a team or a player that you think? is like going to have a breakout year. Oh, yeah. We already talked about this and we think Kyler's going to get picked up like right away.

Yeah. Huk? Kyler? Hook? Oh, wow. Yeah. Like we're after Christmas probably. He's,

he's dominating in Ait's. He's not good. Yeah, he's really good. Really good. Yeah, everyone. I can't believe he hasn't got picked up already. No, same.

I can't believe he's not going into the season on a team with how good he is. Can't just like drop someone after just starting the game. He might be the best in the game. Like, no, no, no, no. He might be up there. He might be up there. off every pro player.

Like he's definitely good. He drops, I know it's eight, but like in eights, he's the best eights player. Yeah, but like, I don't know if he's the best scrim player. Eighths play a lot different. I mean, yeah, that's what I'm sure. And Kyler has historically speaking always dominated eights slash tens around always.

That's fair. Yeah, I did. Maybe too much dip on the chip right there. But he's the best eights player right now. Sure. Yeah, sure. I'll give them that. Well, have you been playing eights?

I mean, but yeah, imagine if he could fucking transfer that. You can. Have you guys all been Have you guys all been playing Aides? No, we're playing ranked. I mean, we just watched Like late night I'll throw up like all the pros playing Ate and shit

For like the first couple weeks or so Yeah, that was fun It was actually fun And then it got really hard Yeah And then I started feeling fucking washed I was like god damn dude I was like what the fuck is this

Reality hit I mean Nah I'm talking about telling you it's the scrimmed diff. Yeah. If we scrimmed, we could still keep up. Yeah, screaming is.

I think we could keep up, but we wouldn't be like, we wouldn't get the results. I was telling, I was talking about this yesterday. You know what I mean? Oh, yeah, we know. We're not going to beat them. Yeah. If you take all four of us, like, from the dynasty, like I feel like you'd have to split us up and put us on like,

like rosters, you know what I mean? Like, we'd have to be on a team with current players as well. Yeah. It couldn't just be us for going into the league dominating everyone. Like, I don't think it'd work like that. I think we might end up on the high. high end like seventh eight no I would say honestly better

all four of us I think seventh eighth yeah probably seven to actually yeah at best yeah we could get our like random like starting losers get a check team round one just like rip them up and on land with a crazy crowd maybe our aura gets us a crazy aura buffer

we just win like three one yeah like that'd be crazy but oh we get a we get an aura match fuck no that team did have a lot of aura dashy hits top 250 and ranked The fuck cares He's actually still in bronze

He's had that glitch Where you see it? Bronze Don't even think it matters I actually got the pick though That goes hard Yeah that does go hard Wait can I see the pick

This is fine This is fire This is fire You're feet Hold up Hold up Oh that goes up CDL champ from the shit

Come on No that goes hard The trophy Wait that's cool Clean This shit It says 2024 CDL champion. Yeah, now that actually goes on.

That's cool. That's actually fire, bro. That's super cool. Nah, but they fucked up. CDL championships? That should be more. What? I'm a CDL champ, man.

Yo, wait. I'm out of the truck. Wait, did they do anything cool? Three? Shouldn't it be? No, that says CDL championships. Not like majors. You know what I mean?

That's like rings, I think. That's rings? It says 2024 CDL. champion okay you know what I'm saying I think that's what they're going for and I know what you're saying is more than one event went yeah I get that but yeah yeah have they done anything cool for optic winning like in game no other than that I don't think so I don't think so dude the haters when we were in the banners that was dope in Verdance that shit was sick I hated running my stadium I'd always drive by and

just fucking honk no no no you know what hit It was going from seeing myself and the Empire team to seeing phase up there. I was like, then I was in your boat. They put phase up there? Yeah, they did phase for a little bit. For Cold War? For Cold War. And I was like, yeah, I'm not going stadium anymore.

This would be your favorite landing spot. You'd always land on the side where it shows your pictures as you're flowing. Now I can't even look at it. I have to land the opposite side. Yeah. You don't take a weird route off a little like you fly over it, but come back to me. Oh, that's fucking sick. I didn't even know they did like a statue out in front of the fucking.

Then find the phase one, the Cold War phase squad. Yeah, I don't think they're doing anything cool for... I don't think so either, man. Yeah, I haven't heard anything. Have you? I haven't heard anything, no. I don't think they're doing anything cool. I swear to God, they had...

They didn't have the pictures of them? I swear to God, they had the photos. Oh. I don't remember. Maybe I don't know. I still have nightmares of Obisiesiesies gameplay. Yeah, that guy was on Demon Time sometimes. The guy sent me to hell.

And then you just have like R.C. spray painting and assassinating. Like, what the fuck got a chequey shit is this? I openly tell Obesey he made me retire. Really? He's really good, bro. Oh, yeah. That guy made me feel like, yeah, I'm too old for this shit. Jesus.

We were kind of running them. Were you? Yeah. How many times did he cross-map? How many times did he cross-map kill you at the 74-U? Cold War. Honestly, simply killing more. Not Cold War.

Yeah. Cause Matt. Abe would just door bust me and I'm like, okay. Cold War, they ran our shit. I can't even lie to you. Yeah. Yeah. Dude, they even have the same guns game to game.

I know. Is this not the same gun I was Simper around with in that game? Like the jackal? So many different iron sights, red dots, all this shit. Phase is running the same 704 you with the same fucking iron sights. Man, this fucking sucks. We're all old in this fucking sucks We need more tipping, damn it

Damn it Tip us, God damn it Fuck fucking back in my day I'm just fucking fiending for tippage Is anywhere we could get it We're using different guns Don't we care about Whatever

Life comes at you fast man We're doing with a dynamic Can we get tipping for that? No dynamic We didn't even have dynamic No dynamic Go watch old IW game boys You'll see there's no amissos

What the funny shit Brina was telling me the story about how in Cold War you guys ran standard when you had dynamic you idiots huh you fucking idiots Seth was mad at Brandon for like

Seth was mad at Brandon for like a week because I don't know the thing you told you to put on dynamic Oh my God and I lost that gunfight to Abe and fucking book on Moscow There's so much aid there Oh my God yeah Brandon Brandon was like yo you got to change the dynamic

I changed it like two days before we play phase and I lost a literal Such a big PIN A year a year altering gunfight. Yeah, it was such a big pivot. We fucked our whole year. All because of Brandon.

We got them one time. Remember the standoff? We beat him and we were so hype. Get the fuck off us. We won like 6-3 search. No, I think it was 6-5. It was like, it was round 11.

Fucking shit I told you it was only matter of time. I switched to dynamic and I lost one gunfight in book and I was like, dude, if I'm on standard I win that and I was so tight. Oh, I was so tight. Oh, my God. And then I didn't use dynamic the rest of the year because of it.

I was on standard the rest of the year. But I was actually gross to Cold War, so. No, you were. I was gross to Cold War. We would have been a lot better if we actually fucking tried. Like, I feel like there was... Speak to yourself, man. I was in your own house with like your own sim.

But there was something going down to the HQ. The trio was. The trio with the HQ was on fucking Mars, man. It was such a fun trio. You know many times we would end of the shit day and just be in two hours later, we're on Dills' balk just bumping like little baby just laughing about how bad we got the shit on. Lamar is actually icy.

It's like, holy shit. You're at home molding watching the fucking rocker tweet out about the one before we're just here. It's like, dude, no, he's so icy. That's hilarious. Holy fuck. That game was hilarious, man. It was a fun team.

It was a really fun team. even 2020 was fun as fuck but we were just like not trying what game was that was MW 5 5 5 oh yeah that was a mess that was a fucking mess we were playing fall guys just not caring

playing three scrims a day with that third set like two you just hear though we're back on fall guys holy shit but do we got anything else or is that the pod boys it's got to be the pod right oh hell yeah porter

talk to us a little bit about your racing Well, the last one didn't go so well. That's all right. Yeah. So it was endurance race. So first one with like teammates. Did you get constant? Yeah.

Yeah. In a sense. So we had to practice like pit stops and like getting out of the car, which is actually fucking getting out of the car? Incredibly difficult. Yeah. Yeah. Because you're like dunk in, right?

Yeah. So well, it's like you're strapped in. You're calmed in like your radio comm. I have a fucking, see that little snorkel thing up top? Yeah. Yeah, that's, that pumps air into my helmet. So it's actually, and it's actually magnetic. So I, you have to like pull the clamp out and then like stick it to the ceiling.

So this is a procedure. It's like this first, loosen the belts, like, unclick, unclipped the belt, move the seat back. That pick goes so hard. That takes crazy. Yeah. Yeah. Like move the seat back, completely undo all the belts, put all the belts aside. And you have to do like this while you're driving

and you can't go over the speed limit, the pit speed limit. You have to break as late as possible going into the pits. And then when you get out, you have to make sure the belts are off the side because if you sit on a seatbelt, you're fucked. Like you literally have to get up and do all that shit again. And you have to do that all within 20 seconds or less while you're driving. Yeah, but the other team, so I was tied for first. in the endurance championship

and the guy I was going against basically paid his way to the win. So he brought in a Porsche factory driver from the Netherlands and then his coach is also basically a Porsche factory driver. Does that mean they're like elite? Yeah, that means they're both better than me a lot.

Okay. So yeah, it was going well and then we had our own teammate who's on like the it's like a set group of mechanics they run multiple cars so we had our teammate crash into us and knocked us out of the fire

and they were fucking 20 laps down oh no so it's like hard costs yeah so we're sitting there like looking at the guy like what the fuck and he had no idea we were in the championship he was on Mars yeah yeah he was just on Mars yeah and then this is

So if you don't get crashed into you think you win? No, fuck no. You get second? We probably get second. Okay. Yeah, we probably get second. Second's not bad, bro. Wait, was this you?

No, that was Caroline. That was your car though? Yeah. Holy shit. And you know what's weird about that is they can fix all that shit. They're not like road cars. We're like there's literally like latches or I don't know where it is at the front, but you can pull the whole front off.

They just gave it like a new face. Yeah, yeah. Just new. Yeah. This whole world is crazy. I'm kind of lying. Dude, this race alone, just for three days, was $35,000 just for tires. Yeah, that's wild.

Yeah. That was wild. And I crashed, too in this. Matt, showed the video before. Play the audio is good on it. None of the... Yeah, yeah. It's a different tweet.

Yeah, I crashed right before the qualifying, which is... Is I seen... Yeah, this... Napers, Anonymous? Play the audio on that. What? How I ended up in this situation? The drive time for me today started with backwards spinning out of turn nine,

hitting the wall. Luckily, the car was not tubbed, but JDX threw a back... Is this a circuit of the Americas? Yep. Oh, shit. I remember that fucking... Yep. Isn't it wild, dude?

We went from... Playing video games there. Right That was at X games That's where X games was Yeah What did you remember about this That fucking

That red tower in the middle of You don't remember that shit That fucking thing About X games You were there You remember that fucking thing I know I just remember a hot ass tent

I was blacked I just remember a Jenga tower And smoothies I remember walking out of our hotel And just Dude do you remember walking out of that hotel And it was just like Were you guys at the same hotel as us?

I don't know And it was just bugs, like, around the lights. Oh, my God. There was literally just mayflies. I remember that and that fucking tower from X-Gex. Dude, I talked to some guy who was in BMX that X-Games. And I was telling him the story. I was like, hey, do you remember when me and Haggy walked in in the fucking athletes lounge?

And I was like, he's like, who's that? And then I described Hagg's like, I fucking remember that. I was like, dude, we were getting death stairs. But went from playing video. You all walking into Athletes Slown at X-Games? Yeah. And it was just, everyone shredded, like, shirt off, fucking veins popping out.

And then in comes me and Haggy, dude. And they were sitting there like, what the fuck are these guys doing you? Was Tony in there? Tony? Tony Hawk. Or was he at dinner that night? No, that was one.

Have I told you that story? That's why I brought it up for it. You're embarrassing story. That was the biggest regret of my life. Wait, what? Wait, what happened? I say ruining. I don't know if I ruined it or not,

but I felt like I walked away. I'm like, I just fucking ruined his night. Tony Hawk? Yeah, Tony Hawk and his son who just did the, what's the Big Air one? The Big Air. Oh, yeah, yeah.

So his son risked his life for like eighth place. And I'm walking over with the fucking bronze X games gold medal, like talking about video games of them. And it was the most awkward, like, Like we took the photo and he just sat there like this with his with his arms. And then you just with your bronze metal. Yeah, yeah, with the bronze metal. Like I'm not a Joe Schmo like I, the first thing I said though is I don't think we should be here.

No, I was not hammered. No, I was pure. Damon just came over. Damon walks over. That's a crazy story though. Yeah. Oh, good. Yeah, now I'm racing there.

Full circle, man. Yeah. I can't believe you don't remember that tower, dude. It's kind of hard to forget. Dude, I still haven't fucking climbed it. I've been here like 20 times. I've never seen it before my life. Was that not, where was the athlete lounge?

Because we never went. We knew our place. That was in the paddock. Yeah, I see my old tent. You can't see it, but it's the building this way. Yeah, where we played was like two different spots. But it was near, one was near the tower. Okay.

So, yeah, I don't like Cota, though. Fuck that track. No? No, there's no consequence. So there's no like, like there's just pavement everywhere. So you can go wide. You can fuck up, right? You're not going to go in the grass and into the wall.

So it doesn't really. Call that shit Coda? Yeah, Cota. Circuit of the Americas. Yeah, he's got the race. He's got the lingo and shit. Yeah. But, yeah, next year should be crazy.

I can't really, I don't want to talk about it all. that much, but it's going to be nationally broadcasted. Oh, nice. Nice. I think NBC or Peacock or something like that. I got it? Oh, Peacock. Yeah, yeah.

It'll be on that. And it's going to be a way higher, like I'm basically skipping two levels. It's going to go a lot harder? Way harder. Like, I'll be, if I walk away from the season with one or two wins, I'll be like, fuck yeah. Ecstatic? Yeah.

Oh, yeah. Well, that was a good pod, though. Yeah. Great bud. Yeah. A lot of fun. A great pod. All right, guys.
