I was walking in and I saw the Marriachi band and I was like, that's for us. Gentlemen, welcome to Optic Podcast, episode 228, brought to you by Cashap Hymns and Trade Coffee. Yeah. Joined by the absolute boys, Nick Maniac Kirchner. No Optic X today. I think he's getting the boot off today. In a minute. Oh, really?

Is that why he's not here? I think so. Oh, Tom. Jesus. Oh, time. That's got to be, dude, I've never had to wear a cast like that, but I can't imagine how itchy it gets. and oh I wonder if he could wash his foot now

when you're trying to sleep at night and you get a crazy itch and you got to reach for the pipe cleaner and try to... I was gonna say what does he use? He always has something I'd use a pipe cleaner or something. For that low it.

Well yeah that little they got a little bend to it and get in there. Nah they got to make like a there has to be something out there like an inch. Yeah. Like a little hand

with like fake nails on it. It has to be made. But yeah, let's go. Hector he's getting it off. Fuck yeah. I wonder. I wonder how you think he's been depressed. Because every,

look, this is like this is what I see every day on his Instagram. Yeah, but this is good living right here. I'm like, this is obviously like anyone that sees this is like, man, this guy's living the life.

Like, he's getting some time off, just gets to do this, probably smoking some pine park, whatever he may be doing. Yeah. But no one, Hex,

it's like. No, he's pissed. Is he actually enjoying this? If he's not a busy body, I feel like. He's, He goes insane.

Yeah. And I'm the same way. Like, if I'm not busy, I, like, feel like my, I feel like I'm just not wasting time, but. I mean, he probably just hates the fact that he can't just go hop in the wagon and go wherever he wants. He's got to be like, Leo, he got to go somewhere. And then you've got to load up the scooter. His ego is. He's probably had three trips he had to cancel, Chicago, L.A. for Pine Park.

You see, he's got the, look at it. It's a little hand. You see that shit? He literally has it. So it is a thing. So, no, I think he's getting off today. Let's go, Hector. So now he's going to be in like a boot where he can actually walk on it?

Yeah, I wonder if he can shower. Because I'm assuming that first shower has got to hit like crack. He says he doesn't take morning showers with it. Well, don't you just have to cover it with like... Just put a bag on it or something. Put a bag on it. But that's so annoying, dude. But he was like, no, I don't take morning showers now.

You got to why? Yeah. Like, is it that much effort to, like, put a bag on it or just like stick your foot out? But I guess like being in the shower, it would... Hop off his fucking scooter. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Try to balance into the shower. And it's wet.

Oh, man. That is true. I've almost fallen getting out of the shower when I got both legs. Oh, yeah, same. So doing that with one leg got to be a mission. Wait, then he twisted his other ankle or something, getting out of the shower, I think. Is that what it was? Yeah, we were playing Deadfoot Island.

Then he hurt himself and changed it to Dead Feet Island because neither of his feet would work. He, like, fucked up his other ankle getting out of the shower or something. Wait, Mark, you ever, you smoke? Do you ever, like, wash a body part in the shower? And then forget that you washed it and have to wash it again? Yeah, I do that with my underarms all the time. I used to do that all the time. I got a formula though.

I'll be like, wait, that I washed my underarms? Oh, let me hit these bitches one more time. I used to smoke a lot. I used to, like, wash a body part and then forget I washed it. I'd have to wash it again. And the second time, I'm like, wait, I already washed that body part. Wait, so how much you, wait, let me actually this. How many times you go over your body in the shower?

Once. Do my upper body? Like, how many times do you, like, wash yourself? Warrants. Really? I go over like two times. Where do you start? It all over. What's the starting point? I start in the underarms to get it soapy. My face by my face. I start arms. And I start from top to bottom. My face is first. A rag. Like face with face wash. Then for body wash, I do chest back. But what is he? Do you use arms? Underarms. For my, I just do hands now. Yeah, I just do hands too. I just do hands everywhere. But growing up, growing up and I can't like living by my arms. I just, just do hands. I just do hands everywhere.

But growing up and I can't like living by my. Well, living my girl now, not myself, but like having my own place. Growing up, every, like, we have so many towels at my house in Jersey that every shower, I used a fresh towel. And now I only got like five towels. But I had a fresh washcloth and a fresh towel. Every single shan no more, yeah. I don't got room for more towels.

You don't got room for more towels? I have one towel per, like, week at this point. We got like 12 towels. Yeah, but there's two of us, so. Yeah, but how many times do you use the same towel before, switching to a new tab. See, if I have 12, I rotate between three because I'll shower at least twice a day. Yeah. So like sometimes one will be wet, so I'll grab the other and then I just rotate and I keep hanging shit up. I keep hanging them for like, yeah. If I'm five to seven days.

Like if I forget to hang it up and it's wet in the morning, I'm like, ah, it's kind of gross. See, but that's the thing though. If it's wet somehow like the next day you got to switch because it'll, it'll, exactly. You ever leave a towel out for a minute, like a day and a half? Of course. What the fuck? This smells like shit. It starts terrible. When you throw your clothes in the wash And then just go to sleep, wake up the next day, they smell like shit Just sitting in soapy water all night I hate laundry

Smells like shit Like dumpster juice I can't stand laundry, bro It's like the worst thing in the world I think what's your love language I told myself Mine is getting my laundry done Yes laundry done

And like doing a vacuuming I'll do the dishes I'll load the dishwasher I'll watch the dishes That's my love language Laundrie's like to help you whatever love language that is I mean it's like acts of service acts of service Yeah, yeah I probably say same to be on laundry is like my like same I love no Hated talking about just a thought just a thought that's what I'm talking about is

Holy fuck there's some kind of Connection question mark and then I gave nothing back she'll like reorganize the pantry I'm like that's awesome Lean the fridge I would never do that I'm just throwing fucking whatever I eat throwing it on the counter not worrying about it that's just things that I don't think to do like I like I never would like unless I really conscious to like needed to do it I would never empty the fridge clean it and then put everything back in I'm like that's a I've done that I'm getting up there I've started to do little stuff like that throw out all the shit you don't want make it look better purpose

purpose give me a little dressing I haven't used in years the thing out the five love languages acts of service quality time receiving gifts physical touch words of affirmation we can say let's say our favorites we don't got to go through them all what's our favorite and what's our least favorite receiving gifts that's your favorite that's my least favorite that would have been funny if that was no no that's least favorite like I don't get a shit about a gift yeah honestly I'm gonna agree it might be my least favorite too I mean I like getting gifts but like in a relationship I don't I don't need that hmm this is a good one let me okay what's your favorite and then what's one you think your best

quality time is probably my favorite Okay. Acts of service. Physical touch. For me, acts of service. Mine is. My is physical touch, words of affirmation, acts of service, quality time, receiving gifts.

That's what you like receiving? Or is that what you're good at? I think that was his tier list right there. That was my tier list, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I would say acts of service, quality time. Receiving gifts is also my least favorite because, like, I don't need anything else.

Yeah. Everything I could possibly, like, when people ask you what I want for Christmas, I'm like, nothing, yeah. Straight up. I'm at the point. I'm happy if I get like socks and boxers. Nowadays I ask for socks and Eagles gear. I would prefer to get that.

And whatever. Oh, and moccasins. I always get a new pair of moccasins every Christmas. I prefer, I like getting just new underwear, new fresh white socks. I don't want this random bullshit fucking whiskey smoker that I'm not going to fucking touch. I said I like the real guys like boxers, fresh white socks. I don't want like a whiskey. smoker that I'm never

never gonna touch like you're not gonna burn your yeah it'll be cool to fucking use one time but that's the most annoying part about white socks is no matter what they get this dark tint and you gotta keep buying new ones he's washing them with your dark clothes he's washing with his dark ass clothes you gotta keep your white separate

I mean it's just and then you gotta get some oxy something that keeps the whites even white yeah but that doesn't it does that doesn't affect the swoosh I'm gonna keep it a thousand with you no not really also Just, you need to be reing up on them anyway. Yeah, I agree.

You'll be all right. He does got some dark socks. I have like 100. These are dark, right? I just wear black ones and I just run into the ground. I got a hell of socks. He does. Also, people aren't wearing Nike no more.

It's just all about no logo. Yeah, I wear no logo too. People just, people don't wear logos no more. You know what I've been saying lately at home this high. I know I'm getting up there. Every day, I'm like, once I get off stream, I'm like, favorite part of the day, take off my socks and I'm like, oh, it's fucking.

hits every time, bro. That's kind of a good feeling. And you take off your socks? Sox on all day, but then you take them out of just spread. And you feel like your hair is standing up on your leg? I look it is. Favorite part of the day? Oh, I love that shit.

Get a little rub in between the big toe. Your hair is slowly standing up after being just melted to the skin all day. Oh, I'm like, yeah. That's one of the way. Wait, that might be a top-fi feeling. So if I'm under a blanket, I want my feet outside of blanket. To get that cool air and the rest is covered. Are you guys the same way?

Cover it all. You cover the whole thing. Covered all. If you're laying on the couch, besides like up here. If I'm sleeping or on the couch, my feet are at least one foot is outside the blanket to feel the cold air. Oh, yeah. Every single time. I have a cat and I have PTSD.

So like if my foot's out, the cat, hi. Really? That's different. They attack you for? It's been random, but like it's happened. Wait, you have one cat, right? Yeah. Junior.

He's a little demon too. So like, there's been times where I'll just have like one foot out accidentally not even thinking and it just scares the shit out. And it just scares the shit out of me. She don't let the cats on the couch. So like if Gwen's around, they don't come on the couch at all. She'll literally stand in a stance, stare at them, and if they come close, she just darts at them. It's insane. That's absurd.

That's insane. What do you think your, what do you think your best, what's, what do you give? What's your best attribute? Everything. I would say physical touch. Mine is everything. Physical touch? I've probably say quality time.

is number one. That's what you're good of doing? Giving someone quality time? I don't know. I feel like... I feel like you do do good at that. Quality time. I mean, acts of service.

You said all of them. Yes. You're just like all around like perfect boyfriend. Acts of service, I'm like... Act of service, I mean... Acts of service, if it counts like paying for a dinner or like buying groceries, then I'm decent at that. But I'll get her like tea or something. If I get up, I'm like, do you need anything?

Like, I'll do that. that but like yeah of course i'll fill your water for you yeah but when it comes the only i just hate i hate laundry cleaning i'm like once in a blue moon i just get like dude if i start laundry you know how long it takes me to do laundry like if i'm doing laundry by myself i'll do i'll hang up three shirts then i'm like oh i got to do this hang up yeah what do you mean oh like i feel in a jar yeah like i distract myself which i can't just do the laundry in one go oh when i I do laundry. I'm cleaning around.

I'm stopping so many different times to do random shows. Oh, I need a snack. Oh, I need to, I got a call that. I can't just knock it out. And she's just like, can you just do it? I'm like, I can't. I'm trying. In the floors, everything.

Bathroom. Whenever I start vacuuming and shit. Yeah, I'm God. I start vacuuming. I start vacuuming and then I put shit over here. I just get the ball going like that. Really? I'm able to bounce around.

Damn. I'm going down the hall with trash bags in my hand to the incinerate. See, I have two jobs at the house. It's take out the trashes and do the cat room. I was going to say clean the poop in the yard. Someone comes down. Yeah, someone does that. Don't worry, I would too.

I'm not judging. You see that list, Matt Craig? But she does laundry, cook, clean, all that stuff. I do the litter box and the trash. No wrong with that. And obviously, string. What's your love language, Matt Craig? Doors.

Doors pull. Vigational touch. Corny ass. grind don't stop. I mean I streamed. Oh, here we go. Oh, they're playing rebirth island, dude. We're gonna have to take a break, chat. Is it every win or every death? Every win. Oh. You fuckers, we said get second. This is actually hilarious. You I was walking in and I saw the mariachi band and I was like, that's for us. Hell yeah. That's good work right there. Hey. That's a way.

That's a way to wake up, man. That's the old phone. I saw Z in his bed just with his phone out. Does you imagine how mad we'd be like day five of the race if that's how we woke up? No, I wouldn't. I wouldn't be there. Well, some people would be awake. I probably just went to sleep.

By day five, I was actually sleeping. Actually, no, day one, I would have lost my mind. Day one, when we didn't sleep at all, we were just getting used to it. It was hot as fog. The AC wasn't working. Dude, it was hot as fuck. None of us slept. Like, none of us slept before.

I forgot how hot it was. The game released, I think I literally closed my eyes. You know, and you like sleep, but you don't sleep. Yeah. I like open my eyes and I was like, I don't know if I slept. And I got to, the game is releasing. We're about to have 30,000 viewers and I am sleep deprived as fuck. I was tweaking.

Those were like the best showers of my life. Like walking to Davis's apartment and showering and just getting that one hour. It was so blissful walking out of here. It was impeccable. Just we walk out. You're sweating for 16 hours. I felt bad for age. I see her for an hour.

I'm like, I got to go back. She's like, no, stay for another hour. I'm like, I can't. Dude, that drive home was fantastic, too. When we were all set and done, I was, pull me out of there. The windows were down. We're running that back, right?

Of course. Assuming they don't fuck up and for some reason change the prestige system. No, we have to run that shit. I mean, they're releasing Fringe about three weeks. Oh, my God. But this is dope. Amazon is releasing a five-part

E-sports World Cup doc featuring faker, Soka, Droz, and many more e-sports players. Damn, Primes. June 6th. That is sick. That's fire. Amazon? I mean, shit, that's big time. Wait, oh, wait, Amazon's doing it.

Yeah, it's big time. Well, this is on Prime Video? I mean, I would assume it says Amazon's releasing. Wait, that's awesome. The Soka? The Warzone. Yeah, Warzone. There's a lot of pressure on my shoulders to make my mom and dad proud. It's the best feeling.

watching him live out his dream. It's this pressure that you have on you that you get to win, you lose your job. Exclusively on Prime video. Where's Jaws up from? Alaska. Really? Yeah. Just the hopes and dreams of thousands of supporters writing on one chance,

he didn't have nothing to do with game. You can do this. I believe in each and every one of you, but the mission's not done. You want to make a run at the title? You have to run a gauntlet. competition. Competing at this level comes with a lot of sacrifice. The thing is about these top teams, it's win or bust.

Some of these players, that's their life. There he is. There's a go. We were there. This is a Super Bowl, the World Cup and the Olympics. All rolled in one event. It's so good to be in. We are coming for you.

If you're betting against me, that's going to wake me up and get me to playing best I can. This is dope. Hell yeah, dude. Everything is earned. Is your job on the line? I can't wait to watch this. That's awesome.

So fire, dude. So fire. Yeah, could you imagine waking up his faker, just knowing your faker? June 6th, it's coming out. He just wakes up. Wait, when? It comes out soon. Hey, what's up?

Great job. We love the songs. Good job. Yeah, yeah, for sure. We're on the podcast right now. Say what's up. I'll move this for you. Here, talk.

We just got done waking up Our Warzone players to get ready and play and got the first double of the day and celebrated with the Marniachi band. Absolutely. Yes, sir. Y'all want to pick? Yeah, get it and you want to pick.

If any of you guys need a Mariah band in Dallas, it's Marriachi Mysterio. Boom. Give that a quick Google. Boom. A big promo right there. Yes, sir. That was fire.

That was hilarious. They were probably mind blown. They went to bed at like 2 or 3 a.m. Is that when they're going to bed? I think last night they did Oh boy I can't wait for this though Has there ever been a documentary style thing

On like an official Like a Netflix or Prime Video or Hulu Let's type of your yet There was one thing on Wasn't there something about League of Legends On Netflix? I think there was a league one It's cool that we're going to see some

Call of Duty representation though We got Draza We got Hizzoa so got Worsesone and Kod That's pretty awesome Can't wait for the next E-Sports World Cup It's about to be fire It starts up in July right Yeah

I think Cod's third weekend of July, I feel like. Don't hold me to that. That's when it was last year. It was like July 24th-ish. Yeah. I just love that there's another tournament. I mean, just imagine if champs was like it. And then all of July, August, September, October, we're just waiting.

But at least July, we get an amazing, huge tournament. It's like a bunch of games, right? Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's like a festival. League of Legends and shit. They like rotate them out. It's like Coachella fucking.

Now it's crazy. This is exactly what I've been like, because I always had the opinion because for some reason we like wanted e-sports in the Olympics. And I was like, that makes no sense. Why would you want to try and convert someone who watches snowboarding or ice skating into an e-ports fan? Like you're way better off having an e-sports Olympics. And a league of legends fan or a counterstrike fan is way more likely to become a call of duty fan if they walk into the right venue because there's downtime, whatever. And the EWC basically is that. It's basically kind of like the ESports Olympics.

I mean, StarCraft 2's in there. Siege, PubG Mobile. I mean, dude, there's PubGy Battleground. And they're competing for the war zone. And they're competing for millions. I mean, look at these prize pools. It's just million, million, one and a half million, two million. Where was this in 2017?

Fuck, man. 2018. I would have loved it. 2016. 2015. 2014. Yo, Street Fighter. Watch out for me on Street Fighter.

I might be coming. Oh, man. No, I can't wait. though. I'm awful. It's going to be a long off season. No halo, huh? Guess you won't be gone. Another no trip for me. It's going to be a long off season. But yeah, that's

so fire. Can't wait to watch. I'll probably only watch the Cod episodes. Nah, you gotta watch him all. I'm watching. I'm watching Faker. League is fucking insane, bro. I'm looking to see his day to day. I wonder if it's like a... What kind of wallet does he have? What kind of socks is he putting on? What's his view looking like?

What? What? His entire lifestyle. He's just trying to be in his business. Something good. The chef asks him what he wants. He's wearing luxury garments. He's wearing luxury garments. They're morning routines or whatever.

Like, what does he eat every day? What time does he go to sleep? What time does he wake up? Does he have any? Is he that dialed to the point where it's like, is he fucking robotic with it? Later tonight when you're bored on YouTube, type in T1 chef on YouTube.

There's a guy who does like awesome documentary type stuff. He does like a whole thing with like the T1 facility in South Korea, and he follows like the chef, and he's like, each player has a certain diet, each player likes this. It's crazy. It's crazy. They're so technical about certain things. Do you think that would benefit, let's just say call of duty, call of duty players, if each org had a chef to be on the team, you had to abide by, you got to eat this. I say that, but dude, there's so many fat asses that have won to the sense where it's like, you definitely would play better with a better diet there's no question there's not there's not a single but sometimes you feel better your brain

would be working at a higher like you but like play bet i just think some players would hate that some players would hate having no time so you're sitting across formal it's turning time some players are all they're eating out the window i would love it but i just know some players like there are some picky eaters like legend wakes up has a schiqzzi in a like they want lunchevers Or you know what I'm saying? MC wants a McDonald's Coke. Yeah. Pop-Eyes.

See, I ain't going to lie. McDonald's Coke, though. I never tried that, but that sounds like it might... No wonder the kids fucking... You guys know Legend... A fresh iced Coke on the stage? Yeah, you feel like you're at home. Jesus.

Wait, where were you saying? And your turn. Legend... If you got that sugar and the caffeine come, or your turn. Sunday morning, but before Champ Sunday, Legend had a Snickers and a monster and then just... Jesus. Goes into the tourney.

A Snickers? And I'm like, if you take that away from him, though, like... Not even a protein bar? Yeah, imagine like, okay, okay, legend. Egg whites and turkey bacon. And a monster, not water. What are those? Where's the Snickers?

What are those? Bars, cliff bar or whatever the fuck? The throat rippers? Anything else. One of the healthy bullshits. The nature valleys that just crumble everywhere. I just feel like they eat those on the couch or at my set up. I love them, though.

I love, they're so good. But they're crumbling. I just wonder if you start switching up people's, like, routine and how they eat and, stuff if that, if that'll take some, like, they're sitting there like, God, I don't want to, well, you do it at home though. I don't want to eat this chef prepared meal, man. Well, no, it's not like they're eating. That kind of does something to their, man.

See, that's the thing, though. Just because there's a chef doesn't mean they're eating, like, super strict and healthy. He's still making, like, he's making some fried chicken cutlets. Right, right, right, right. Like, he's not making them eat egg whites and ground beef every single meal. Yeah, and you got to get used to it. You do two weeks at home on this diet. Like, imagine legend was getting a gourmet snickers, homemade.

Nah, I can't hit the same, though. I'm sure it hits the same. It's not going to hit the same. You need that fake chemically. The good shit, the real shit might hear. I need that shit to go straight to my brain, that dopamine. Yeah, just instantly pouring through your blood. I need that.

But I feel like they might do it in the sense of like, I doubt, I'm not sure. But I'm not sure if there's going to be like a Droz episode of Hisoka. They might do like all in one. I'm sure. Go from like POV to POV to POV. Kind of like how RECON used to be. Like some true life shit. Or it would follow envy and optic and they bounce back and forth.

They might do that with all five. That's awesome, though. Yeah, I've been waiting for more documentary style. Good exposure. Content, e-sports. I mean, a lot of people that don't play games are probably going to watch this, be like, what is this? I would for sure. I just hope they show, because people don't understand.

Like, they might leave some vital shit out about the process that motherfuckers don't really understand. They got this shit. I mean, they were in Alaska with draws. I mean, it's going on. Prime video. A little Volvo. That fool was on an ATV with one of those Russian fucking... It's going on Prime video.

It's going to be good. Muscrat. Muscrat? Yeah, muskrat hat. Damn way, X Deviance is officially shutting down today. I thought it was already shut down. Poor one out, man. X Defiant.

I enjoy playing it. It's just, it is what it is. It's the tough market. It's very hard nowadays to make a game and have it get full on traction. Just because there's so many games. It's also, bro. You can say what you want about Call of Duty. Call of Duty is the most fluid FPS experience you're going to get in the sense of arcade shooter, like, Call of Duty style.

It's like an anti-cheat rolling. I love the new games and shit, but like, yeah, like you're saying, the left and right don't feel good. It should be feeling clunky. It don't feel smooth. Like, X-Difiant was solid. It was cool, though. I fucked with it. But, like, you're going up against a multi-billion-dollar behemoth that has so many resources.

We already have a better version of this called Call of Duty. Well, I also feel like Ex-Difiant. They kind of, like, drop the ball a little bit. their ranked playlist was supposed to come out and then it got delayed, delayed, delayed, and then it came out and then it was fucked up. It's like all the things that... And didn't the release keep getting pushed back as well?

The release kept getting pushed back. And then it conflicted with Cod and then that's when you're in trouble. You need to release right after the Cod season's done, get some traction and then hope that it keeps that traction after the new Cod releases and get a player base. It just... Yeah. I mean, it's also tough.

Even playing the game, I just didn't think it was gonna... I mean, I liked it. There's already a better version. There's Call of Duty out, like. Khan's been doing it for 20 years, where it's like they've refined and polished and there's billions. Like, there's just so much you have to compete with. You can't. So it's difficult.

To be fair, though, if this had S&D when it came out, it should have been decent. I enjoyed this game, though. It was cool. You need search? Money Mark needs a search. When I was playing with it, well, playing on this, it felt like it was. And the respawn, I just felt like too much was going on. But if I just had a goal on, like, search and shit, it was, if I, I had a good time.

It seemed cool, but. I enjoyed playing. It's just... Yeah, it sucks. I'm sad to see it, man. Yeah. I think they did a good job with the resources they have, so I think they should be proud.

I think everyone enjoyed that little ex-of-fine stand. Yeah, no, I had fun on it. I wish it was just a little bit more refined and could have had some legs, but that's happy. I mean, I feel like all games like this that come out, like even that Spector Divide game that we played to have that little tourney over here. Yeah.

I think it was fun. But then there's Valorin. It shuts down just in. You got Val and you got CS. Like, I actually enjoyed it. I was like, this is like, I actually got it. Yeah. Really?

Pretty sure, yeah. Really? Yeah. Oh, wow. Or it might be like in the same. It's like they're getting ready. I'm pretty sure you like can't even play it. Like I think it's just done.

What's, I mean, I guess Marvel Rivals is the only game that I can think of recently that actually like has legs. I'm not even sure I was doing now. I mean, Marvel had like, it's also Marvel Rivals. Around Christmas time, Marvel Rivals was popping. And then it just kind of slowly. faded. I mean, Tim will still get on and fucking kill it. I don't know what the player base is like.

I feel like that's all people were talking about for a while. I don't know. It's still great numbers. The new season just came out though. Like Ultron just came out. Bro, sometimes on HALO, you'll see like 600 live players. It's just like... That's kind of insane. I mean, yeah.

Can we bring up on-voice tweet, Matt? And let's talk about how these players are dealing with things. that like I just think have to be talked about as unacceptable. I just don't understand what the fuck Cod is doing, bro. Like I just don't, like we don't, you're telling me. I don't, I don't get it. These are CDL players.

I don't get it. You're telling me someone can't walk in the right room and be like, go, fix this. We had to fix this. It's just done. How? If the right person just says, yo, fix this, it's done. It's okay. I don't understand how it hasn't happened.

That's what I'm not getting. Let's read this. Seven days after major three, three weeks to champs. CDL accounts on three-month-old patch, retail accounts are on season four, and CDL is insisting. We'll be playing on season 3.5 for champs, although there is no way to play on it currently, all because Codcaster has been broken all season. Like, that is unacceptable. Someone in my chat was saying-

How the fuck are we about to go to champs, and Codcaster is busted? Someone in my chat was saying that the people that made this Codcaster were laid off or something, and I'm like, if that's true, that's terrible. But I know they can fix this. I know they can. I know there's someone there that can fix this. It's embarrassing for the whole game for this to be broken for this long. It is embarrassed.

I don't hate on what they do with the skins, all that. I know how much money they make. I'd be doing the same damn thing. But I don't mind the skins and shit, but you've got to make your product work. Because then if your skins work and your product doesn't work, then it just looks like a money grab. It's like, we don't give a fuck about the game. Buy our skins, though. And then that segues into the Armadillo champs pack.

probably the worst champs pack that I've ever seen across any game ever. Take a look at it? Dude, it has no relevance to champs. We're in Kitchener. Are there armadillos in Kitchener? No, there's not.

What's the relevance? You could do anything. You can do something so cool. Dude, do an animated golden and black camo that reflects and shines and you get a kill and it changes colors. Like, do something.

There's so much shit you can do. You gave us an armadillo. There's so much shit. It's crazy. I saw this. I saw this and couldn't believe my eyes. No bullshit. All they have to do.

This is the champs bundle? Yeah, this is for champs. Sure. Fire. You can do anything. It'd be fantastic. You can do, I don't care if they start doing fan submissions and you make the best. Why don't even take that?

You know how good they would be if like there was some creativity. It doesn't make sense for fans. Submittal. Your biggest event of the year and you can do anything you want. Look at the camos too. Look at the camos. They're just like shit fucking It works for the brain

Oh the brainwash love it They're like Oh shit's fire Did they? Couldn't have Boys My time is coming And I wanted one last talk

up in the morning, let's talk about coffee. Whether you're gearing up for back-to-back meetings, shuttling the kids back and forth to activities, or tackling an endless to-do list, your morning sets the tone for it all. And what better way to start your morning than a cup of coffee? I'm probably the best person here to talk about this in in Dallas because my man my man blake has a coffee shop so he could talk about it too but i always have a coffee in my hand to the point where it sometimes i need to i need to tone it back a little bit maybe have a decaf or or two but the best way to get your coffee is to grind it yourself that the art of making your own coffee is so much better than going and just swiping your card and they give you a coffee and uh trade coffee

makes it so, so easy and the quality is just great. Trade is the number one U.S. coffee destination, bringing you fresh coffee from over 50 of the country's top roasters. My favorite is right here. Alma coffee sent straight from trade. I went in, I took a quiz, and in under a minute, they matched me with this coffee, Alma. And this one is already, it's already ground. So I don't even have to grind my own beans, put them in the thing, put the thing on top of it.

It comes out in the thing. And then I just. Beautiful morning. Beautiful morning for me with Alma coffee because of trade. Trades prices are on par with grocery store brands, but the quality is next level. Plus, you're supporting local roasters. So it's a win-win for everyone.

Like, look at that camo. Dude, I don't know. Dominate with the Dillow. I don't understand it. I never will. Even that could, even those could be better. I mean, bro. It's fucking insane.

I don't know. I'm so invested in it because. I just don't know why, like, I don't know why you'd half-ass something like this. Because if it's really good, all the Cold Duty competitive fans are going to buy it and the general population, if it's that good, are going to buy it too.

I'd buy it 100%. Instead, it's like you don't bring in the Cold Duty competitive fan base at all. And if I'm a general player, just a casual player, and I look at the options I have in the store, this is not the one I'm buying. They have so many more. I would like to say,

I would like to say, I play war zone pretty good amount. I don't think I've seen a single champ skin in all of my war zone games, which is like kind of insane. You see pretty much every skin. I don't think I've seen one, bro. Pretty disheartening, man.

But then they've got to see that in the back end. They're like, yo, this isn't selling. It's like, With the way that... But it probably is. We just can't see. Well, no, we just got to get closer to champs, and then you'll see the numbers start.

It's like, no, bro. What's crazy is we don't ask for much either. I know we complain a good amount because we love it, but it's not like we're asking for the world. We're asking for the bare minimum. We just want a fixed codcaster. Release fringe fucking three months ago because that would be in the competitive rotation

and everybody would eat it up. The reason people think MW3 is better than Blackop 6 is strictly due to maps. Rio 6 star vista. You remove those, it's like, eh, back and forth. you have your own opinions. This game, the best maps hacienda, and we've received zero new maps.

It's kind of weird, because I feel like last year... I got to go my way into whoever has that job. That job? It's probably multiple six figures. Boom, boom, boom. But, like, last year was, like, inverse of this year. The game started off bad last year, but then it got so good once they put in those new maps and stuff.

And even rank play was just better last year. This year, the game had so much potential off the start. Everyone was super excited. the gun play, everything's great. It's the same shit. And then just nothing throughout the year came out that like helped it at all. Because last year, imagine like you said, no six star, no Rio, no vista. Be terrible.

The game would have been off. We'd be so bored. But they came out with that and then the game turned out to be like really fun to watch. The CDL season was great. This year it's like so much potential. Nothing to the mid-end year has come out that's like helped the game. What was on at Hart Point and Search and Destroy on? Six-star.

Six-star. I mean, bro, that should be. Real. That's, man, it's beautiful. Here's the thing about new maps. The new maps are awesome, but you also just add variety. So the maps that, for example, Karachi, that by default gets played a little less. So when you watch Karachi, you're not as bored as Karachi because you're watching other maps now, too.

So, like, other maps like Vault will be highlighted in this game because you'd be seeing Vault a little bit less. Dude, remember at the start of the year? So you'd be more okay to see a vault more often. We watch Vault Control. I think it was like 17 or 18 times in a row. Every single series was because there was only two. I hated Volt. There were only two control maps.

It was Proto and Volt. All we watched. And no one wanted to get spawn trapped. Nobody wanted to play Proto. Either way you're going to get spawned. It's so dumb. Yeah. I just think like it's just.

And then they're adding maps now by the last event. I don't know. But they're not even good. Yeah, I know. That's an issue. They're not good. Besides Fringe. I mean, Fringe is great.

How the fuck are we not experimenting this shit? I don't know. Whatever. I don't give a shit. They don't give a shit. I don't do shit. They need to have me as a contractor. There was hope for Haven.

Haven came out and Haven was like made for last year. So we were like, oh, this might be good. I don't want to be playing at him, but the person that's in charge of getting is done is making. Hire me as a contractor. I'll hop on a video call once a week. I need three heads of the studio for 15 minutes. I need Infinity Ward, Trey Arc, and Sledge all in one call, 15 minutes of your time once a week. Yeah, guys, yeah, no problem.

That's it. It's fixed. You need to fix this. It's done and dust. Bing, bing, bing. 15 minutes of your time once a week. They cut you in 10%. And some weeks I'll be like, no complaints.

Things are great. Oh, it might be. I'd love it. Oh, it might be the bad 10%. I mean, 10% is great. 10% is 10%. They're like, God, these guys are so stupid. Well, no, because that will be unfair.

They have no idea what it takes to code this. If any of them told me that I'm shit talking their game, I would say, I love nothing more than your game. Like, your game is the reason I am. There's nothing I love more than Call of Duty The reason I have a pain right here in this finger Right here now Is because I played Call Duty for 15 years Every day for hours

So don't ever tell me I don't fucking love your game But it's not coming from a good place I just want to see it be better for everybody Yeah So like that would If someone ever told me yeah you talk bad about the game I'd be infuriated I'd be like don't ever say that to me ever again

I fucking love this game It's out of a point of love I just want it to be better for everybody Yeah A funny compilation could be made every single year on the optic podcast of like the new call of duty or just some talk about the call of duty because just hearing you guys talk it's like bro it's every single we always have hope we always have hope we're like this is going to be the year it's the same talks every single year

for over a decade well no well this game's different though like even this is the one well no this game actually just played the new cod shit was fine dude this game at the start of the year we were like yo this shit's gas yeah and then like like No, it had crazy potential. The maps fucking ruined it. The codcast is broken. If this game had like two more Black Ops four maps,

if it had Seaside Arsenal frequency, it would literally be one of the best cods of all time competitively. It wouldn't even be close. The one thing I will say that we were wrong about in the beginning is everyone thought that this game would make the skill gap higher and I think it lessened it.

It lowered it. Everyone's moving like Shotsie now. We thought like Shotsie would be able to be so ahead because of this movement and in fact it made people a lot closer to shots it's the best example I could give you I think this is helping me

because like shit I usually can't do because I hated fucking doing the button combo and then snapping on someone I hated doing that but now with Omni movement my aimers are already there because I'm just going to the side so I feel like for shittier players like myself it does help it did lessen the skill gap

but this game was close I just think this game is a pre-Amy cod and pre-Amy cods the skill gap's always going to be lower because like you can't camera something You can camera someone in this game if you're, like, close, but if you try to wideslide and aim as, you're just getting rent. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like, you can't. You can't outskill somebody if they're holding the pre-am. Mm-hmm. Like, last year, you could slide around the corner, hit the instant drop shot shit on someone. This year, it's like... But, like, okay, Fringe is coming out. Do you know Fringe from Black Ops 3?

If you've seen it, if you saw it, you'd know it. I can look it up real quick. Fringe is, like, one of the most... It's one of the best competitive maps we've seen in Call of Duty. BlackOps 3, people loved it. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not sure how it'll play without the jet packs. We'll see.

But the fact that this is coming out when the game is ending competitively is just one of the biggest misses I've ever seen in my life. Yeah. Like I don't understand how someone isn't like, yo, if we release this two months prior, people are going to love it. Yeah. Competitive's going to work.

And then, you know what we're going to do? So this was a really good competitive map. For the casual base as the competitive seasons ramping down. B-03 in general was just... Every map was good. Everything was just fun. Yeah. All the maps were good.

Yeah, I like this map. when I played. The only map I hated was that snow one for some of it was like stronghold. The house one? The right side of the map had that like where you could jump. No, wasn't Redwood. No, it was.

Yeah, what are all the Black Ops three maps? On the right side was like snowy. Oh, I like stronghold. Oh, infection. That fucking piece of, there's like a tree up there.

It's like a. It was like a floating island. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Okay, okay, yeah. The search map. And then it had like that with the end of the middle. I'm tweaking.

Yeah. And then it had the wall runs on the other side with like the inner barns and shit. That was the only map I hate it Yeah I hope they play Fringe at EWC though Because they'll have a month after champs They might

I think that's enough time That's crazy though Like this game Or Black Ops 3 like All these maps are even fun In 2v2s I mean that game was just got Yeah like older

Older games just had the maps For some reason Like Halo 2, Halo 3 The maps were just so good Don't need to add any Don't need to take They work for 2v2s Fucking 4V4s

They work for custom games Like How was the cheating in Warzone? Not as bad as last year? There's like not that many rage hackers. But they're still there? You won't run into like a blatant. If someone's blatantly like aim-bodding and walling,

we'll just get them live banned immediately. Like we fucking ban them or we report them. They get banned like very quick. Wallers though, like, dude, that's what pisses me off because I'm streaming. I'll literally watch somebody center me through the wall. There's no U.S. A.V up because you can tell when there's a UAV.

I'm not live paying, but they'll center through the wall and then slow strafe and just insta headshot me. And I'm like, bro, that kid's walling and then people are like, no, he's not. I'm like, bro. A streamer dies just says everyone's walling. I'm like, I've done the shit for 20 fucking years. That guy is blatantly walling.

He'll trace you through the wall and then center right on you and I'm like, bro. I played a, I was in Studfam 8th, right? And there's this kid like talking shit. I'm like, all right, well, let's pick team, let's play. no kills have went down I'm running across cat this motherfucker comes back down

in the cat like peaks up doesn't see me I haven't ran up the stairs yet as I'm running towards him he's like backing up and lays on the floor I'm like yep he's cheating end the game off one kill end the game that's all I need to see

we're going back and forth arguing I'm like brother I can tell I know I know when you're supposed to miss I know when you're supposed to hit like if you outplayed me I'll say you outplayed me motherfucker you're playing like you know

I'm coming right towards you You have no idea. There's no information. Once of the Blue Moon, I'll have a accusation that's wrong. For example, Twisty. But that was fucking Dashy, one of the best pros in the world. I would have thought he was cheating too. That's different.

If so, that guy told me his best placing was top 32. He works a full-time job and doesn't play the game. And then it's Brucey. I'm like, he's cheating and it was Dashy. So like that's different. It was like undercover. Oh, that video has 600,000 views in six days. Who uploaded it?

Dashy. I said, you won't be stagged by that. I'm getting verbaled. Wait, so you were, what were you doing while he was doing this? I was playing against him. Oh, okay. It was, it was Zuma's, stallions, tryouts, whatever. And Vowals is like, yo, Zin, can you play?

I'm like, yeah, I'll feel in for a map. And I'm like, my controller's screwed. I'm like, I'm done, whatever. He's like, no, Zim, play one more. I'm like, fine, if you need me to. And then it comes out that I was playing against Dashie and the whole thing was a setup. And I'm like, here we go. 600K viewers.

And while you were playing, you were like, this motherfucker's shit. cheating. Yes, because it's some I bet people were dying just now. Oh, it was hilarious when it revealed. Did like your teammates now? My teammate was the first one to accuse him a cheating and I was like, fuck, thank God you said it because now I can say it without being the asshole.

He said, is this guy? But did he know or was he said you up? He said, hold on, bro, this guy, and it was dashed that makes sense now. Yeah. That makes sense. But for the most part, if you've played long enough, especially at the pro level, you know if someone's cheating. Yeah. Like you just know. It's just

And to a casual blind eye, I can understand why you'd see certain things and be like, Well, also they're in a different skill-based. I'm like, bro, this guy is cheating. I promise you he is. Well, they're in a different skill base, too. So, like, you watch us, like, we got reset all the way to bronze. But we're not in bronze lobbies. We're still in, like, diamond lobbies because our hidden SR is just so high. So they're playing in a bronze lobby, and they're like, these guys don't look like the guys we're playing.

I play They think that we're playing The same guys they're playing Because they think they're in our same SR but that's not how it works I just don't think people understand How common the cheating is now I hosted my subscriber rates yesterday

And there were people cheating in there I'm like what are you guys doing I'm hosting subates And you guys are cheating in my subates I just don't get the They don't I'm turning the blind eye Because they're subs

But I'm like fuck You did drop five yesterday I mean shit he's a gifter They don't understand like The timing and shit, they literally think it looks normal. And their shitty brain, they just think everyone else is cheating. Like, that's what they chalk it up to.

It's kind of pathetic. They just don't think it's obvious and it is. They just don't understand how, that we can just literally look at it the first shot or just insta die and be like, yeah, I got shooting. Yeah. And all be all, I love call duty. It's just if they fix a handful of things,

we're talking about, yeah, good things happen. Not going to happen, man. Good things happening. Like... Maybe one day. Open up that Hitch best players on Optic, please, so we can talk about this disrespect. This guy's out of his fucking mind.

He has me as... Look at him, dude. Zoom in, please. Look at him. Do you think he was in the right mind space? Mark, he's got Renegate above you. Rage Baitless. He's got legend after you, big T, than me.

I mean, he got... He did put Renegade before Bose. Just a, this is what Is we gonna get ever play call duty? He is good. I'm sure he is. But that's about it. And then I saw David say this is like the past year or so.

This is bait. It has to be bait. He put legend over big timer? Why are you skipping? I'm 14, brother. And me. Why are you? I didn't get down that far.

I saw legend then big timer. I stopped right there. Wait, where's money mark? You can say what you want about. my career okay, come on, let's be real for a second. A&Ecloses over Zinney. That's right. I'm not going to argue it's right.

I'm not going to disrespect my boy. It's not right, but I'm not going to sit here and argue about it. I mean. I don't need any, bro. Davis is so boring, man. And then Hitch puts himself over Tush, Blake, Pomage, Joe, whoa. Z-Laner. Even just me.

I think I might be better than Hinge. This is bait, mate. But then, yeah, the rest of us. Eight out of eight, mate. He put a pure gangster at 27. APG's never played Codd. And he put him over Sabas, who plays every single day. Poor Sabas.

Fucking High Holly, Riley Watch Party. Riley Watch Party. What is fucked up is how is Hex this high? Where's Hector? Damn. 33. Matt, are you better than X? Ah.

But. Hector's... Come on. Hector's pretty bad. I heard Hodge used to carry him. Hector's pretty horrible. Hector's pretty fucking bad. Hector's pretty fucking bad.

Wait, does Joe... There's no way Joey's that bad. Does Joey not play? Apparently Joey's got something in his locker. Just another fan boy. He's got to be, right? Hey, I'll take fifth. Page 41.

I'm cool with my spot. I'll take that. I mean, sure, I'll take my spot. You can put the Cod team above me. That's cool. I'll take my side. I'm cool with that. I won't take mine.

It's disrespect. And the worst part is it's disrespect. That'll be backed up because it's me. It's like, hell yeah. Yeah. Like, bro, come on. Let's be real for one moment. Let's put our real hat on for just a second and say, this is not right.

Piece of shit. Just look at his face, too. He was not in the right mindset while making this. Yeah, what time was this at? Four? Just rage bidding all day. Just all day. Yeah.

Earlier this day, we did a top 10, hardest. I mean, Sabas at 29 is also crazy, but below diesel and APG. Yeah. Sabas plays Warz zone. That's what I was saying. APG's never touched Call of Duty. That is insane. I don't know if lunchboxes ever touch Call. What the fuck is APG?

He was here yesterday with wearing this shock collar with Nick. Girl, one time I was at Uchi. Wait, really? You guys had the shock collar room? They were streaming with shock collars on yesterday. Just to feel something. I was at A. OCHI. I'm chilling. Someone comes up to me. Tatsky on his shoulders is APG.

I'm like, oh, it's good, bro. That boy, Brad. Afterwards, let me stop at the gas station to get back. I walk in APGs at the counter. I'm like, ah! Those are the best running. Those are the best running. I fucking love APG.

That was the best. Yeah, he's the man. He'd just be riding around and shit. Like, I was, we were both drinking at Uchi. And then he's like, yo, yo, smoke a sick with me real quick. And you're like, ah, fuck it, let's go. I love Brad. Yeah, what's scent you wearing?

I was like, I don't know. He goes, I love it. Is it there? I have no idea. Brad knows his shit. He knows the smell good. He knows the swanew his swag. I was like, you know, we need to do like a shopping IRA stream.

He was like, where do you go? I was like, I don't know. I got to like Nordstrom and Zara. He's like, no. They starts naming fucking just low key places in Dallas. Designer boutiques. I was like, I'm not trying to, he said something like, something Dior. I was like, bro, I'm not buying Dior and shit.

Like, I'm not spending thousands. He was like, no, this same price is Nordstrom. Like this shop. There's this other place, like, but now if you're trying to get something fresh, like, you need to go air. I wear black, man, I wear black teas, white teas. I stay away from light gray because I'm sweating. Yeah, I can't work. Oh, yeah, that's a risky one.

And the tits pop. I can't wear gray. Black makes you look trim. I'll wear white before gray. Actually, yeah, gray is a bad color. Gray's just, what is this? The new optic stuff? Yeah, just our newest, our newest scuff controller.

Either that or my. You think so? Might have been my multi-vitamins I'm taking Oh yeah This is fine No food It's got me I didn't forget to put on deodorant

But I came in my armpits We're sweating for the first time Forever and I'm like, what the fuck? I just threw this hoodia I don't think they're gonna I never get to that point My lymph nodes are gonna fucking start bursting Ah that's how, bro, you're good now

That's how you stay fresh to hold that What the white stick? Oh yeah You were using the gel right You can't use it on like some organic like Oh no no you can't use the natural one And after I'm done streaming, I'm like, Damn!

Yeah, you can't do the natural ones. I couldn't even wear my shirt to dinner last night that I wore streaming. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not kidding. And I put deodorant on every single day without fail. You need the cancerous chemicals in the deodorant. It's the only way it lasts long. The natural, your shit's kicking after six hours.

There was one back in the day. I forgot. It was a blue spray can my grandmother used to have. I just shake that bit. I think it was suave or some shit. Bro, crunchy. That shit will stay on for damn near. Brunchy.

I'm like 10, so you know I'm missing showers. My shit would be. I use, I think, degree. I think, degree. I believe. I use degree or dove? White stick, 48 hour persparen. Yeah, I use degree.

Smelling fresh. 72 hour. It's the one that's like cologne. Shit's fire. But I'm amazing. I just use the Old Spice Fiji. Oh, that's why your shirt's getting stained. With white?

Well, I use Old Spice body wash. Honestly, a lot of times. It smells good. They have a timer on them. And as soon as that timer is up, you'll get that one. That shit don't have. streaming moving. You don't even need to spray cologne if you don't want to. It goes quick.

Yeah, now imagine you were like around people and your shit just starts kicking. See, back in the day I was a worry. Back in the day I was a worry. I don't worry about that no more. My armpits stinking randomly. I don't worry. Yeah, I don't worry about it. It's used to always worry because he can't smell. Oh, that's fair. That's fair. That's fair. Well, I don't think I literally don't, it's not, even if I'm sweating. Yeah, I feel like I don't. I feel like it has to do with what you put in your body a lot, a lot of the times. Like, not necessarily, it's not just like exercise sweat. You're going to smell like shit. Like, it's like detoxifying the pores and getting the nasty shit out your body. Drinking literally eating like sodas, not drinking water, shit like that. At least I assume,

I really don't know, but I don't think I've ever been told I smell. Hopefully keep it that way. I don't think so. I don't think so. I do pretty well. Two or three showers a day. I shower usually twice a day Shower once a day Either in the morning or after I work out And then I night I work out too Yeah, I'll just be bapping

Bro You shower two three times a day Huh So you shower two three times a day Morning then I'll work out No three is crazy You should if you're going to the gym at 11 You shower before it

There would be no point That's crazy Bapping No I'm not I feel better I shower before the gym I wake up my hair's insane I feel gross

So I shower I get dressed then I go to the gym, then after the gym, I shower again. Then, like, later that night, I may or may not shower. I think a pre-jim shower is crazy. My lights are on me and I'm sweating and shit. I'm not to work out. I'm going to go on the sauna. I'm going to shower after that, and then I'll shower at night before bed.

If I did some shit, I'll shower at night. Wake up. I just feel gross. It depends what I got to go. Yeah, you don't want to feel gross at the gym. Yeah, if I don't know. It's something about my hair is all fucked up too. I just love.

I feel and I feel and. Oh, he doesn't shower before. for the gym. Everyone just starts pointing. I'm on your same wavelength. If I'm doing that. With anything where I know I'm going to sweat, like the beach, walk, gym,

I'm going to shower after that and then at night. I'm not doing a pre-swet shower. I used to be on that way in shower. That makes no sense. I used to be on that wave. Like in Florida. I wasn't waking up, showering and then going and laying out.

Yeah, exactly. No, that makes sense. No, that's different, though. You're at home. I wake up, do whatever the fuck we're doing. But I feel better with the workout nice and clean. Because the way I think the shower that I took before bed Is holding me over

Until I have to shower after the gym Or the beach or the walk, whatever it is Depends it, but it depends Like if I shower and then go somewhere at night And come back in the morning I'll take a shower But if I shower and I'm chewing home And I play a few games at MLB Wake up and keep it pushing

I don't sweat at night or is I never used to shower before the gyms But then I dated someone who showered constantly And I and it just like Like she would call me out for not showering Really? So I would start showering. I'd be like, I don't want to, but then I go shower and I get dressed. I'm like, actually, this is nice.

In my head, there's a waste of soap. It became like, now it's just what I do. Now I'm buying more soap than I have to because now there's three showers instead of two. Because I'm doing the pre, I don't know. And there's more long. I understand it. I'm sure you feel great. Any longer.

Dinner or anything, I'm definitely taking a shower. I'll double up if I got it. Like, if I've been out shopping and later we're going to dinner or something, if I took a shower before that, I'll take another shower before that. I'll take another shower. Now, you're a little different. Like, you'll shower before the watch party, and if we're going to dinner that night,

you'll shower again before dinner. I'm not like that up. I've been basking in this, like, I just been sitting in the seat, my swamp ass, like. Oh, I may not stink, but I feel like shit. Yeah, if you feel gross shower. I don't blame you.

I feel gross after a watch party, and I think it's because, like, the lights and shit. The lights, they drain, they drain you, they do something. I just feel like a zombie. I feel like I can't talk to people. I don't feel like, I don't feel like physically gross.

I just feel like my brain doesn't work. After a watch party, I don't want to talk to anybody. My social battery is so dead. Yeah, your social battery is fucking... And it's just the lights because I think the lights in your eyes for that long. It's just draining. That's always a tough part. After, like, a long day at the watch party and there's people...

Especially at an event. Afterwards, I want to take pictures and shit. Yeah, bro, it's hard. And I'm like, fuck. Then I feel like a scumbag. I'm like, I literally can't sweat. I'm sitting through my fitty cap. I'm like, oh, Jesus, we got to get out of here.

Yeah, not to sound like a fucking dick, but after a watch party, like, obviously they'll be like, yeah, can I get a signature fucking picture or something and I'm almost like anxious and like my social like I'm not in the mood to be like like I'm in like this weird

just like oh yeah it's not a bad mood but it's like I'm not in a bad mood but I just feel so socially out of it so every picture I'm just like I'm not in like I so I feel bad about it but I don't something about it's the lights it's the

eight hours of nonstop talking yeah talking And the lights is like a combo for I need to just look at a wall for three hours. Yeah. So I leave TikTok, sometimes alcohol. If I'm going to have to go be social alcohol, of course. Drain too much alcohol fucking at Dreamhack.

Oh yeah, I forgot we went to after hours. Dreamhack was sick. After I was going to get beat the fuck up. Dreamhack was sick. Dreamhack was the first time it felt like an old-school event, a very long. say that. Yeah, no, it was so good. Like, in venue, but also after, like, just the vibes.

Like, everyone I was talking to and saw, I'm talking to clutch. I'm like, I wish I went out Sunday night. I would just like, whoa, I wish I went out. This is the way it's supposed to be. Yeah. This is awesome. Yeah. Because usually, like, I don't really care to socialize at events much anymore.

Right. This one, I was like, I wanted to go hang out with people. I was like, I want to go. This feels awesome. Yeah. Usually it would be like the event ends and it's like, oh, well, this person's, this group really ain't coming out. There might be a few people at the bar,

but it's like, all right, I'm going to just go. Y'all want to just go get food, get food, and then you go to your hotel room. That bar's got to love us. But now it's like, or at Dreamhack, it was like, all right, where is everyone going? Like, it felt like what it used to be. Everyone was ready to get after that.

Sunday night like that. Sunday night, it was there, it had traffic, but not, that place was full to the brim with all the gamers there that night. What? Inwood? Inwood Tavern. Inwood Tavern.

FOMO. That place is pretty dope. They give you a drink in a red solo cup. I'm like, this is awesome. I'd never been to a bar like this. They had a vape vending machine. Really? Was it Wonder Bar?

I should have got one. No, it was Inwood Tavern. Wonder Bar shut down. Did it? Yep. Really? Yeah. Like that bar we have the picture with the dick room?

Yeah. Why did shut down? I don't know. I just don't think it was very popular. Really? I swear I saw on TikTok. Everyone was like, what's your favorite bar in Dallas? Everyone was like Wonderball.

I saw that TikTok as well. I think it shut down. Well, because now you have Oh yeah, Wonderbar did shut down. Those bars dominate. Lonnie's, Skellig, Myers, those dominate. They're not for me anymore, but those bars dominate. Lonnie's already.

I go there and I'm just like, am I the oldest fucker here, man? There's so many, bro. Like, on a weekend and there, there's so many lit spots. Like, you can go. I would go to Inward Tavern, like. Yeah, that's cool. I would definitely go there again. I like the little back area as well.

He was giving jello shots that were way too strong. I can't. I can't. I can't. Those will sneak up. I had one and I was like that tastes like straight. I was trying to wonder where they were coming from, but I stopped asking questions. It was just accepting?
