For example, Oklahoma City, which is coming down. Like, you know what I mean? Like, we'll throw a party there. It'll be good. Anyway, how's, how's, I've been gone for a week.

Anything important happened while I was gone? No. No? It sounds like, mm-hmm. But it's like, I'm no. What are you been up to? That's the question of the last year.

Two years? Yeah. Or to you? But no, both. What is your day? I don't know. What's a day? I don't know what he does either.

What's a day in the life? And me and Mike been trying to get him out, but. I know. I know. I know. No. I know. I already know the outcome every time.

I go out. Me, flame and throw out when I wake up. Nutriya. I feel like the next two, three days. Yeah. two of it. I already do you old as fuck now. You know what I'm saying? You guys have your

psychopathos? All right. I'm telling you I had my first rum and coke for the first time in like three to four months. That used to be your signature. Yeah, that's my signature. I used to be able to knock down 13 of them and still be operational. Rub and Coke's. Shut.

Yeah. And I'd be operational. Did Bose explain his days? Huh? Did Bose explain his days? Yeah, it was a day in the life. I mean, I wake up, take a shower, probably play some ranked got some food

do you still play God yeah like you just get on for fun yeah I just play rank I gotta keep them fresh uh yeah what do you do what's your nighttime life

like I usually watch you like I just watch a whole bunch of YouTube shit like those podcasts right that you sign many clips of yeah million dollar game what's it called million dollar worth the game yeah do you go to like studios and stuff no I don't know

I just be wondering Well, let's let's hold here. What do you imagine his day and the life is? Because you obviously have like, yeah. Yeah, what do you imagine? Like wake up, maybe shower. Maybe? Wake up shower, probably eat, do nothing for like six hours.

And then like find something sketchy to do at night. Like go to some studio in the projects or like hang out with some dudes in the hood. That's Chicago. That's what that's what. Yeah, I guess that's the Bose. Let me ask you What is a day in the life of you? Because I know what you do in the morning.

I don't know what you do past 12. Sometimes if we don't have content Sometimes I'll stream to like two-ish. After that, go home. Well, first off, wake up 7 a.m. sharp. It's news. Back asleep.

7.30 a.m. I wake up. Then I have to rush. Go workout at 8. Workout from 8 to 9. 9.30. I'm eating breakfast. 10, I'm showered and on the way over here,

and I stream until maybe like two. Then go home, eat, probably watch YouTube videos or something. Then sometimes at like 5.30, I'll go to yoga. So I've been doing like two a days, at least like the last like two weeks. You're back with yoga bay? No.

Oh. Wait, wait, wait, but what about like your six-hour TikTok sess is on the couch? Well, yeah, I'll do like a two, three-hour TikTok sash. Then I'll go to yoga. Come back, eat. And then three, four, take three, four more hours of TikTok. So nothing interesting.

And then maybe on weekends I'll like go out. Go out with like, ace and flame and fucking, no, we've done it. I've done it like a lot lately. Like how many times? Like the last like past month? There has to be a story coming.

No. You know what's the ace and flame? I just, no. Wait, who? Did Mike go into the drunk tank? Has he been in the drunk tank lately? No. Has he...

I think he's... Yeah, I think he's settled down. I think he just drinks less. Ah. He still gets... Last time I went out with him, I think he drinks more. Maybe more consistently,

but the times I've gone out with them, he doesn't, like, get, like, blacked out. Like, I feel like he always used to. I'm good with drinking. I just don't do it anymore. It hurts. I feel like I've been doing it a little bit, but I feel like I get so...

Because I just go... I just full send it. Same. That's how I feel. It ruins me. It ruins me for like three more days afterwards. Just like mentally, I feel like, God. Not physically for me.

Like, if I'm going out, I'm getting like a word drink. I'm going to have a good time. Yeah. And that means that I'm always going to have a drink in my hand for those seven hours. I don't get people who are like, let's go for a drink. A drink? Like, for what? Especially like when I'm in those social situations, like, I'm so uncomfortable.

Like, like, I went out Friday. Or no, it was Sunday. It was like Mike's girl's co-worker was having like a going-away party. And it was like, oh, just come out like four to seven. I'm like, all right, I'll come out. Like, it's a nice day.

I was sitting on my couch at like 1 p.m. Just like, I ain't going to do shit today. I was like, all right, I might as well go out. And then I go out and then I get there. And it's like, all right, shot. Get a shot. Get a double. And then it's like, I'm three drinks in.

It's been like 30 minutes. And then I'm like, I'm like feeling it a little bit. But there's so many people around like, hey, what's all, man? Nice to meet you. I'm like, I don't want to fucking do this. It's like, I either need to get out of here. I either need to get out of here or take another shot and get another double.

So that's what I do. And then do that like eight times. And the next thing I know, it's 2 a. I'm leaving bottled blonde on a Sunday night. Empty-handed. Empty-handed. Again. So that's my weekends sometimes.

Wait, do you try, do you, I mean, it's just boys, you know, do you try to hook up every single time you go out? Like, is that still the reason? I don't try, but it happens. I've been holding my own lately. That's your general, like, hope, though. Bro, I swear since I got tats and a little bit of muscle, like... It's easier?

That's why I don't do it. Because it's easy now. You know what I'm saying? I'm a faithful man. I don't need that. It's sad. Like, they just... It's all about the looks for them.

They just want a bad boy, dude. It's all about the looks for them. Yeah, they're so shallow. I mean, I give all of them love. It doesn't matter, you know. Yeah? Could anywhere from a four to a nine is my scale. It's not a bad one.

You're pulling nines? I mean. Four to seven. It's just like you're fucking, I'll take a four to seven, the occasional once a year eight. Have you, have you ever bagged a ten?

And that sounds weird. Have you ever... I think to other people, they'd be ten, but to me a ten is like... Was that fucked up? No, no, no, no. to other people might be 10s but like

I don't know me I don't know I'd see a 10 like Like what's a 10 Like who's a 10 to you On Twitter

No no I don't know Those are I'm trying to set him out That's not a 10 That's a 10 That's like a fucking

That's the top of the Food chain She's fired But she's not a 10 What? Yeah she's above a 10 Dude I mean I think

I don't think You don't think she's a 10 She's like perfect to me. Yeah, sure. I have no comment. That's the problem, though. Oh, yeah.

You're tired. What's she hiding, though? No comment. She seems perfect to you. Like, no girl's gonna be perfect. Let's be honest. Well, it's probably just because I haven't met her yet. What about, um, if I met her?

What about? How does any girl if you meet him? Like, God, how does ace do out there? Because I know he's out there, like, wing manning, who's wing, and he doesn't, he doesn't really drink anymore either.

Uh-huh. So he just like, he just takes cold past. When we were at bottled. When we were at bottled on Sunday, he was, drinking, he was just like, yo, give me a Topo Chica.

And then it's like 1 a.m. and like everyone's drunk. It's just like a water. Like a. It's like, one a.m., everyone's drunk. And then he just like looks at me. And I know he hasn't been drinking. And like, I've been drinking for a while now.

And I'm drunk at that point. And he's like, breathe. And then he's just like bobbing his head. Because he's sort of on the dance floor. And he's just like, breathe. It's like, you don't need a drink, man. Just breathe. Wait, but do you listen?

Do you actually be like, I'll take your breath. Yeah, that's funny. I'm like, yeah, I needed that. It's hilarious, man. But, yeah. Is it because he sees you like, you're getting anxious?

And like, I don't, I don't understand. I don't know, he just preaches. I just don't understand how somebody like you can be anxious. You know what I mean? Like, I figure like anxious people. He showed up Mike's door and he was just to laugh you waiting there for a little bit. Wait what?

Remember you texted me? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. What? Showed up to Mike's apartment. Like, yo, 10 minutes out, two minutes away. then I get there and I'm just like hanging on his door, no answer and I'm just like standing there for five minutes

and then like eventually I guess he wakes up as I'm face-timing him ten times and he was taking a nap. It's like you knew I was gonna be here in 30 minutes. Leave the door open. What do you mean you're taking a nap? He's like, oh, fucking

I just got a nice 20 minute power now. I was gonna say that he seems like the guy that believes in 20 minute power naps. Yeah. I've never not taken... He always falls asleep everywhere. We never were just talking about that the other day. He used to be like two in the morning and me and Proof would just be chilling and Mike would just be not enough.

Proof would be like, Mike, I don't want to see you fighting your sleep, go upstairs. He would fall asleep anywhere. The couch, a chair, being mad. Standing. Taking a piss. Oh, Mike just taking a fall asleep anywhere. Taking a shit. I'm sure he has fallen asleep.

And Uber's, I know Uber has probably been like, hey boss. man. You know that, be it? Yeah, remember like this one guy tried to charge him like $110 one time? And he's like, dude, it was only 50. How I said 110. You must have been driving around. And he's like, no, I literally came here.

And he's like, it is impossible that it is this much. Like, I take this taxi home every single time that I'm out in Chicago. It's not 120. So he gets into this fucking massive fight with the fucking taxi guy outside of the scuff house. and I'm just like, dude, just fucking pay it. You know, like, what are you going to fight? He's kind of fighting. He's just strut and, like, sees Mike just passed out in the back.

He just starts doing U-turns and shit. He starts jumping around. He starts taking the back road. Over there. He's just in a parking lot. You don't drink. Did you ever drink? Yeah, definitely drink.

What was your drink of choice? Jack and Coke. Jack and Coke? What's your drink of choice? Shots of tequila. lately. What about you? My last two girlfriends were Mexican, so it's kind of where I got it from.

I'm Mexican, I'm not a tequila guy. Tequila is a big Mexican thing, though, right? 100%. Tequila, mescal. Maybe getting older, yeah. My shit's just shots now, usually. Yeah, I can't do like you're in there. It's sugary shits anymore.

The thing is, is like, if I go out drinking, I want to get drunk so I can enjoy the whole time being drunk, and I just, like, gradually get drunk. Yeah, I hate the process of getting drunk. Yeah. Anyway, where I was going with that is like somebody like you, right, who's popular, you're not bad looking. Like, how can you get anxious? Like, I figure, I picture anxious people only being people that don't like to be surrounded by, you know what I'm saying? Like, I'm not an anxious person.

I like being in a group setting or whatever. So like I can never understand that. I don't know. Especially because you're funny and you can make people laugh. I don't know. You're not an anxious person. I wish I had the answers. I'm getting better at like dealing with it.

but I'm getting better like dealing with it and just like pushing through it the alcohol just hides it for 10 hours or so once I Are you an anxious person? I mean I start to choke if it starts Getting a little too crazy but

What do you mean by that? Like if it just too many heads Yeah yeah I'll start to fuck me. I'm not good at that I don't put myself in other situations no more Yes I have officially like X-Mexam like Any invite to like It depends who it is obviously but like

Like, how old are you now? 26? Yeah, okay. Like, I can't do it no more, bro. Like, if I go out, there has to be a minimum of, like, eight people that I'm going to know there for sure. Yeah. Yeah, at least, I need at least four. I'm not going there with, like, just Nick.

But it's weird, because if I get, that, that's me for sure. But if I get drunk, it just completely flips. I feel like if I drink, I can just, like, roam and fucking do whatever I want. Like, I'm, like, in my head, just waiting for someone to push me. or something. I like getting fight mode. Oh, I thought you were like, yeah. Like, you got to drink a lot to get to that point.

So you're looking for fights and girls. No, I'm not a fight. No, not fights. But sometimes, like, I'll be scared to fight. But then, like, because I say, say, like, I just get there. I know everyone around me is drunk. They're feeling loose.

I'm like, man, like, someone's going to run into me and I'm just going to be like, my bed. But, like, if I'm drunk, I'm like, the fuck. I'm like, I don't know. I grow balls. You test them a little bit? Yeah. I get some balls when I drink.

But besides, I'm just scared. What the fuck you're gonna do? Whatever shit? What's the liquid? What is you going to do? Courage. All right. So, Elon Musk buys 9.2% of Twitter,

and it's now the single largest shareholder of Twitter. And he hints at the edit button. Well, I don't think they should add an edit button. I don't know. Or the edit button should be available for one minute. For one minute. And then after that, you can't edit it. Probably less than that.

Probably less than that. Yeah. You basically do have an end of button right now. It's just like how fast you realize you fucked up and how fast you delete it. It's like your edit button. Copy, delete paste. Yeah,

people just like edit viral tweets and shit will be like, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. If I get a tweet, just keep or cycle off, I'll edit it and then just put my Twitch on there. That's like 1500 likes. You could just be like, it's like,

it's like 15,000 likes, but it's not going to, it's like it gets pushed down. Right? So it's not going to be like it. No, but like it pops up on other people's timeline and shit. Like, trust me, I've tested the algorithm because, like, I've liked people's sweet that doesn't really get likes.

It'll be like one, like, and then next day I know it has like 20. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? There's some kind of like. It happens. It could be people having, like, notifications for a none or something, right? Or not, I'd only be even like tweet. Do they get notifications if you like something?

I don't know. Bro, 9.2% of Twitter is a lot. That's a lot. What was that? How much was that, Matt? 2.1, what billion? Three billion. There's nothing to him, too.

He can buy all Twitter. Yeah. He can't because it's publicly traded. I know, but he could. Like, he's got billions and billions of dollars, dude. 2.6.4 billion. Who was he on?

Who was he before Tesla? PayPal. Yeah, he made PayPal, dude. Wait, he made PayPal. Go to his Wikipedia. You didn't know that? Nah. Maybe I did, but I feel like Tesla is just taken over.

his brand so much it's like it's like the front page of his like shit yeah he's probably right then I was like the fuck PayPal's been on forever yeah yeah right so zip to Xcom and PayPal SpaceX Tesla that's a pretty typical list yeah it's like what you do that I invented PayPal and then PayPal Tesla and SpaceX and there's probably like whatever the fuck it's like some software thing he really create hey yeah I mean he was one of the founding I think founding people of PayPal and then from his exit How much was his exit from PayPal? That he rolled into like everything else.

He's like, man, I got a lot of money. You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to start electric cars because I think that that's where the world is going. He was already a billionaire of PayPal. Yeah. And then, and then he's like, all right, well, we got electric cars. Let's go to space, dude.

Yeah, bro. That's what I'm saying. At this point, he's just having fun. That's why I, like, fuck with him because he, like, wants to do shit he wants to do. You know what I mean? He's just exploring. Just a light $307 million?

Say it again? Yeah. Wait, is... So he made $175.8 million on PayPal. What is Zip, too? The, like, when Zip shit? Yeah. To, like, extract.

I'm pretty sure. Boulders and stuff? Yeah. Dude, what? That zips? I don't know. WinRar. WinR?

Win Zip. Yeah, so, I mean, and you got to think about it, right? This is $175 million in 2002, right? So it's not the same as, you know... Damn. Yeah. And that's just one... That's just his second.

Exit. He's just low key too. He just like, no, I sold that shit. Yeah. Wonder where he was at when he was 30. Was he all into this shit? I mean, he's only what? Is there still? How old is he now? 50? No. Yeah, he's 50 years old.

He sold him with. In 2002, he was like, he was like 30. Yeah. That's what he was on point. You were selling PayPal. What are you doing? Shooting big team? Shooting big team. The thing is, is like, I was talking to maxing for subs.

I was talking to max. Max Goldstein, the CEO of Pine Park this past week and we were hanging out. And he's like, you know, all you really need to do is just write a bunch of $25,000 to $50,000 checks into up-and-coming companies and hopefully one of them banks. And I'm like, that's not a bad idea.

He's like, yeah. It all came from like, it all started from like starting a family office and shit. Like we're having that discussion. None, neither here or there. So major two in Minnesota. Soda wasn't a huge letdown, but it was a letdown. It was a letdown.

And there was a new meta in the guns that sort of came about with the vocal. What's it called? The voc. The voc. Yeah, the voc. And a lot of people had it right. A lot of people had it wrong. Spart had it right.

And then they ended up winning. I'm happy that it was, you know, one of the, one of the lower tier teams. Actually, I don't mean that from a skill perspective, but like on the stand. perspective that they want. Yeah. I mean, what place were there? They're like sixth,

right? Or were they on top five team? They were not top five. I don't think they were top five. Yeah. They were definitely not top five. They were. This was before the event?

Yeah. This is current, yeah. So take away 50 points. It'd be like down. Yeah, so that's what I mean. It'd be like 10th or 11th.

Like, I'll tell you what, though, the Minnesota Rocker fans shout out to them because they fucking showed up. Yeah. Yeah, they were boo.

I mean, there was a lot of Bruce in the booth. So it got a little bit louder, but they were, they were turning up. They were fucking booing every single other team. And the thing is like every single time that I was walking on the hallway, everybody in Rocker, you know, the hoodies were like, y'all, let's take a pick. So I knew that they're cool.

But when they came, when it came down to picking between. I mean, it's just fun. Yeah. When you're a fan in the stands, like, it's just fun to boo people. We were talking about that in Discord. Like, I was like, I was like, bro, that's how it needs to be at every other city. like that's how it should be like any if optic goes to Atlanta yeah like

booze yes that's how I yeah but it is it is it is it is it is but I tell you one thing because of what just happened the green wall is gonna be like no that shit can't happen that I don't fucking lose it's the green wall booing every team besides phase that optic was playing they booed phase yeah I know they booed phase but were they booing just anyone optic was playing I think they're more cheering for everyone else yeah for optic to pick really hard.

Yeah. But then phase are, they're like, yay. Yeah, they boot for, I don't know why they're. Is no one else fine? Is no one else mind blown? Mm.

Five two? Bro, I was talking about this with Brandon. Bro, think about the ripple effect that led L.A.G. to win that tournament, whether it be the fucking

four game fives they won up into the final or the three or the three-five comeback against Florida for top three or the fucking the fact that gunless guy got sick up before the event and then Spark it's called up.

And then like, there's like so many ripple effects that would probably started a long, time ago that set this whole thing in motion. And like the fact that it ends with phase, phase. Yeah. Losing 5-2 to L-A-G is mind-blowing.

That is mind-blowing. So, so. That's literally mind-blowing. I like it. Again, this is like what the league needs. Like, just like, and anybody that's surprised, like it's the same thing that everybody continues to say every single time. These teams, every single team is a fucking good team that can win a championship. It's like the creme de la creme.

I mean, yeah. It's how it's always been, though. Yeah. It really is. Like, whether you want to admit that or not, like fucking infamous winning Raleigh, right? Like, in 2011, like, Infamous had a crazy run, beat instinct, the Scott squad, whatever.

I mean, I've seen it over the years. Like, you'll just see upset. Like, an upset's impossible because everyone's a pro. It's not like where like AMs, and then there's one pro team. It's like everyone's a pro team. It just depends on who the fuck plays better for an hour. Yeah.

So it's like, and that guy, and that team moves on. One wrong spawn here, one wrong spawn there. And look, like everybody in, in Optic, And I'm talking about the pros Like, yeah, we know that there was a A fluky spawn But we shouldn't have been in that position to begin with

Right? Like we should have been, you know, way more ahead And, you know, we should have done different things But I was like I said, I was happy I was happy that Minnesota had a fan Like the next one that we go to is Toronto Yeah, I was about going to that Yeah, when we go to Toronto When we go to Toronto

Okay, Toronto When we go to Toronto Listen, okay, I know that Toronto's going to have some fans there, but Toronto's very own, dashy, illy, karma, Rambo. Like, we got Canadians that are coming back home. Brian says he's got 30 people coming. Just 30 people coming from Brandon. I said 30. Yeah.

He said, yeah. And he's like, fuck. Yeah. 30. You get that many passes. I'll tell you what. The hype squad was, the hype squad was, the hype squad. absence was felt in Minnesota.

You know what I mean? Like we, the drums were missed in Minnesota, I think, a little bit. I think like everybody reverted back to like... I can't believe that it worked. The drum part? Yeah. I was like, mm. No, I knew it was going to work from the beginning.

Really? It's inevitable. Yeah. Hey, bro, I'm going to tell you something. I'm going to give props to fucking Minnesota rocker. The, the, their cheers were on fucking point. Their intro was on fucking point. They had this like... Parks coming out and shit.

Yeah. the sparks yet, but I'm talking about like their, their, their, uh, their intro video where it's like some Viking going to like some tarot readers and like these are the people that you need. And then they built this fucking like mega zombie Viking that goes like, bro, you felt that shit. You know, and the thing I was like, I was like, I was like that venue. Not that, but it was like a UMG. It was giving me like MLG, like MLG Columbus AW the first event vibes. I love that.

You do? You like that little, yeah? I don't know. I like it was I saw enough heads yeah they could have fit they could have fit more people for sure I like the fact that it was in a hotel in which all you had to do like back in the days

all you have to do is go to the first floor or in the basement and go to the venue and if you want to go to sleep you go up the fucking you know there's no walking across the street or taking a car to go I mean a page told me that like the casino was like third floor venue was first floor or some shit and I was like they'll kind of check me though

because it's like I'm getting in the same elevator every time to go to casino or the venue like how am I supposed to get locked? You know what I'm like I'm like, uh, hit one please I guess I don't know. So that's the thing. That's the thing, right?

Like it, you would have liked it because you play slot machines. Yeah. Right? There was no live gambling. So there was no, there was no craps and there was no roulette.

There was video roulette. There was blackjack though. Yeah. Blackjack was there, yeah. That's what you need. Uh, uh? That's like all you need. Yeah.

You've seen blackjack. I lost, I lost a thousand bucks in two, three hands? He didn't have me? I did. I didn't have the proper the proper because the other thing is is like earlier in the day Shatsi was like oh he's like you're you gambling I want to see you gamble and I was like hi yeah I'm gonna I'm gonna show off of course did you just watch yeah that's

that's that's not no but when he comes on he's like oh you want to see him so I put all my chips I'm like you're doing the fucking you want to see some shit yeah I just felt good vibes I'm like yeah we're not win this shit but no no no we weren't that's because you need to have someone like me there with you doing the same exact thing yeah yeah match my fucking yeah because then it's like yeah yeah yeah And then what's even more fucked up is that for the first time ever, I was like, man, I could have used that $1,000 to buy a new pair of, like, Jordans from Stockax or something. Yeah. So, you think about it like that after you lose, though.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because. Two to one, you didn't thought about those. Yeah. I got two pairs.

Yeah. Now I can get two Jordan. Yeah. Yeah. I just don't know. I'm like, am I done gambling the way that I'm done drinking? I'm like, maybe not. It depends on the group that I'm with, I guess.

Yeah. Anyway, huge shout out to, to Minnesota. they fucking, Minus Noda, they fucking showed up. Shout out to their fans, who were also cheering for us, like towards the end when they, when we knocked down their team.

Damn. But it was fun, dude. Like, I liked everything. Again, I am happy that L-A-G won. I think that it, it lends itself to have a very interesting,

you know, season going forward. But, congratulations a slasher. Yeah. Congrats a slasher. It's been a long time to win.

Yeah. That's cool. It was good. Bro, so I'm happy for Aseem, that shit was fucking lit. I'm having a phrase. Yeah. Bro, like even Spart, right? Like, he gets called up from the fucking bench and wins a fucking.

So he actually was the sub on, in the org. Like how I was on the mutineers. And I was the sub. He didn't put me in it. Let me put him to check about crazy this was. Classic and Spart were teaming for challengers for this event together. They were on the same team, okay? And then at one point in the tournament, they were playing each other on pro teams for top three.

Wait, how classic get in it. Because Mac got sick on Seattle. Oh. So, like, classic gets called up, Spark gets called up, and they're both playing against each other. Like, what the fuck is this? Yeah, that's crazy. You guys game ready? They're, like, looking at the lobby.

Like, what the hell is this? You know what I'm saying? Like, they're probably thinking, like, so crazy. He was right. Yeah. He was right off. That's crazy. Yeah, I think he got MVP.

He did. He did he? So it's... That whole thing, like, even when Mac got sick, apparently I heard that he got sick, because he got a sandwich from the night before, and the sandwich would happen to be pulled pork. Ew. Ew. And when he opened it...

Is he fucking faded? The one thing that I will say is that everybody that's thrown at an event and I hope that somebody from Toronto is watching this shit, don't put every single team in the same... Oh, and I have a fucking bone to pick with the league, and it might be

Esports Engine. Adam Appicella, my brother... What? Bro, they fucking... They did what they did in the MLG days where, you know, the optic opens and optic closes. Who cares if they sit around for eight hours?

They're giving them. Yeah, no, it's not. No, not no more. Right? Because like some, some teams would play a match and then have one off and then play the next one. We play one match, sat two, and then played the next one. It's just no other way to do it, though,

or else the viewers are just going to be so shit. Yeah, but that's just the truth. Yeah, but from a competitive step, from a competitive integrity standpoint, that's not fair to the players. It's not fair to me. It was not fair. He literally looked to me. He's like, this is the fucking ace part about being an optic.

He's like, no, he's like, I love it being here, but this is so unfair. It's really unfair. I'm like, yeah, and look what we built with this unfairness. We had everything stacked against us. True. We're playing at 10 a.m. and 9 p.m. every event. Like, what?

Yeah. What fuck is that work? Yeah. I'm watching, I'm looking at the other team's schedules. They're playing at 10 a.m. as well and ending at 3. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? I'm like, okay, I guess I'll just warm up again.

Like, you know what I'm saying? It's like a full day. Yeah. And the team that we play at 10 p.m., started their day at 4 p.m. Yeah. You know what I'm like, this is so fucking unfair. I better get the schedule ahead of time

players aren't going on stage. We're going to get a fine. Talk to them. Talk to them. You know what I mean? So, all right. So aside from that, Italy was like,

is like, yo, this is the one thing that sucks about being in optics that this is what they do. And I'm like, yeah, but you were fucking happy

with it when it wasn't not on y'all, right? But the other thing I saw saying, the rooms that we were in, the pro player lounge was separated by curtains, right?

So whatever strategy, we were talking, like, anybody else can hear. Really? So we were, we constantly had to be like, like, Joey and Page and everybody back to Roger and Maddie,

like looking to see like who's where. So we had London to our left, L-A-G behind us, and then somebody else like on this one. And it was just like there was no privacy, right? Like there was like literally no privacy. Wait, I saw a tweet from Sparta that said that Optitonim had to play the game. I wonder if he was also talking about some strats that he heard. And he was like, wait, we should do that.

Oh, no. The other thing is like people on the other side of the wall could hear us. So there was four teams here. and four teams on the other side and then somebody else like who's the other four in the casino? Yeah probably again about shit no but it was it was it was like

it was separated like that that's the one thing that I didn't like that that needs to be fixed because from a competitive standpoint competitive integrity standpoint like and yeah you can say we'll go have a powwow somewhere else I mean like that the pro player area is that you want to sit there at your setup and talk about shit yeah you want to be able to go in the game

and then fucking determine determine what so that was like my only my only note to that because from from snacks to waters to fruit to all that like they did a really good job catering that like food was was uh matt was food good you ate it right yeah food was good like yeah if you ate him him yeah but he had pool pork sandwich that was just cooked not that was cooked and then set out ate a sandwich that was like let's over one i don't know if it's factual and mac if you're listening you correct us if we're wrong like a pre-made gas station everybody in that in his area was

like yo that shit stinks don't fucking eat that he said that he opened that thing up and it was just spoiled pork. You said y'all are faded. Y'all are fading. Fucking little. It's like, yeah, where'd you get that yellow barbecue sauce?

I've never seen that. Dude. Oh, man. So anyway, looking forward to, looking forward to Toronto. We haven't been back to Canada in like almost 10 years.

So excited to see the green wall turn up for the... Have you been in Toronto? No. I've been to Niagara Falls. Yeah, same. I kind of want to go to Toronto, though. Yeah.

To the six. I drove to Toronto. shit was fucking What? Wait, what? In 2008 2008, there was a Toronto

event Oh shit And I wasn't gonna go And then these kids That lived in New York Said they would drive Down to Maryland Pick me and D-Mondi up

Thrust Oh my God And Zulu? No, it's thrust And ghost attack Oh my God Thrust drove down to Maryland picked up me and Dement D

and then we drove to Toronto And I forget how long it was I don't want to say It was 24 hours It couldn't have been that. That's deep. For them it was like 16 hours. It was fucking.

The ride back was fun. Oh, and we had the ride back like that too. Wait, but did they have to go drop you off past and then go home? I would have done that. I don't know. You catch a ride from New York to Maryland. They jumped down to Maryland. It was probably like four and a half hours for them.

And then another 16 or something up to Toronto. Jesus. How old were you? I was 2008. I was probably like 16 or 17. I would have totally done that, right? If I'm that young, I'm doing that road trip. Like, no problem.

It'll bother, it'll be, some parts will be annoying, but I'll be, yeah, super cool experience. Yeah, nowadays, hell. Hell no. Oh, no.

Listen to what. If we're going to Austin, it's a two-hour driving, I'm like, wait, how quick would a flight be quicker? Dude, fuck that. No, bro, listen, I'm going to tell you my last week

and what it looked like, and then we'll go to a commercial break, but I took, I drove Seth down to Houston for four hours, drove him back for four hours. Okay. And then from there, I fly to,

on Wednesday I fly to, to Minnesota. I fly from Minnesota to San Jose to visit the farm because we just harvested the new season. Boy, boy, fire. Oreos look great. You know what I'm saying?

Anyway, apple fritter. Delicious. Smok it one of my own in Cali. All right, so then, so then from there, we drove to Los Angeles. So that's like a six-hour

were drive and I'm just like check so checked so checked that I was like I'm gonna I'm gonna charter a fucking private for me Tim from Secret Session and Eric Khan and I'm like I'm just gonna charter us and then Josefo and Michael Kamins can drive back because they had like camera equipment a whole bunch shit but I was just like we just I was like you know what no man team team players let's just all go back you took a private no we thought about it brought I thought I was so close especially because it's damn rookie that's shit again you know that's a safe And you know what what is the fuck is it's what it is let me see who it is no let me see who makes phone calls nowadays

Who is that? Nothing man there's something I'm trying to see if you're good Man if I see mamacita number two then I would be like all right He's he's got somebody at that door London ting like what the find there somebody knocked Um Ponderriva yeah so and then after that obviously like I had to fly back and I was supposed to go to the masters with oh yeah I was supposed to go to the Masters. It might more than likely,

it more than likely will be Tiger Woods' last professional match ever. You missed it. No, yeah, because I was just been trying. I've been gone for a week. I haven't seen Livin Jude and all that shit. And the other thing is like, somebody that loves golf would enjoy that more. You know what I'm not going to trip.

I'm going to take it out. Yeah. So what is not happening is that strobe backs out. So Hilton was going to fly, we were all going to fly private from Lovefield to Atlanta for the Masters. They have like the setup. They have like eight houses, like rented out. They have like, they, oh, the ATL.

It's like Hilton's shirt. Yeah, it's Hilton's fucking, I want to go. I just won't go to the masters. No, but that's the, that's the point, right? I'm fine. Just, no, no, no. Just get me on a PJ. I'm off to Atlanta.

Yeah, Atlanta, and the house that you're staying in, it's like a mega mansion, and there's mega, mega, mega, mega. Yeah, I'd find my own fun. Yeah? Definitely one. Anyway, so, so strobe backs out, and I'm like, all right, uh, let me, let me see. He's like, he's like, he's like, yo, ask,

nashad if he wants to go. So I, I text him mad and I'm like, yo, you want to go? He's like, fuck yeah, let's go. On Monday,

as I'm, on the six-hour drive, just completely checked of traveling. And I just want to be fucking home in my own bed, in my beanbag and my, yeah, I'm like, I'm like,

yo, I don't think I'm going to be able to make it, man, once you, like ask Shibby or someone or if you want to go somebody from good, good, they can go. And then he's like,

to be honest, man, I'm sick of traveling too. I'm not going to go. And I'm like, who said that, Nate? Yeah,

I'm like, you're not going to, like, he's a die hard golfer. Yeah, he's a golfer. And I'm, I'm surprised because you don't just

get a pass to go to the master. So apparently it's like super hard to fucking get into. I bet it's hard. Yeah. So, Hilton ended up asking some of his old boys. And he's like, he's like,

I'm like, I'm like, yo, my bad, bro. Like, I didn't mean to do it like last minute. He's like,

But man, oh man, do I wish I had Express VPN. And I'm not trolling. I actually did get hacked the other day. It doesn't take much technical knowledge to hack someone. I bet it doesn't.

Here we go. And this is the sponsor I'm talking about right here. What am I talking about? I'm talking about BetterHelp. Better help is a online therapy. Something we all need. Even if you think you don't need it, I feel like everyone should do some sort of therapy.

You know, a lot of people probably don't want to go to a psychiatrist in person. It's not that convenient. COVID, all this stuff's going around. So get your therapy online with better help. Relationships take work. A lot of us will drop anything to go help someone we care about. We'll go out of our way to treat other people well. But how often do we give ourselves this?

same treatment. I was doing therapy last year. I kind of just stopped, but it's definitely one of the most beneficial things I think you can do because it's like, what I like about therapy is you're talking to a stranger, or at least for me, I'm talking to a stranger and I could care less their opinion about me. Like, if I'm talking to literally like anyone in here, anyone that sees me on the daily, anyone the escorters that sees me on the daily. Any of my friends, like, it's a little weird telling them your dark, sick thoughts.

It doesn't even have to be dark, sick thoughts. Just, I don't know, just stuff you don't want to tell them. But I feel like it's so much more comforting, being able to tell a stranger and literally say anything on your mind, stuff that, like, I don't know. I feel like everyone has stuff they don't want to tell their close friends. And they'd rather tell a online therapist. What the hell? of better help.

This month, Better Help Online Therapy wants to remind you to take care of your most important relationship, the one you have with yourself, facts. Whether it's hitting the gym, making time for your haircut, or even trying therapy, you are your greatest asset. Yes. So invest the time and effort into yourself like you do for better people. So yeah, I think everyone should probably do therapy, whether you think you need it or not, whether you're happy, whether you're sad, whether you're depressed, whether you're on top of the world. I'll probably forever think therapy is a good idea. I don't know. Works for me.

Better help is online therapy that offers video, phone, and even live chat sessions with your therapist. That's what I used to do. So you don't have to see anyone on camera if you don't want to. It's much more affordable than in-person therapy and you can be matched with a therapist in under 48 hours. Give it a try and see why over 2 million people have used BetterHelp online therapy.

Yeah. My skill base was super low, so I was like getting both easily. Yeah, it's fun. I haven't played it. You haven't played it? I'm downloading it today. Old Middle Optic will be playing that today. I wonder if I was, I wonder if I want to,

I can still get into my into my old account because I got like raw ass skins from the beginning. I got that I got the skeleton dude. Yeah that one I have the knock cracker. Apparently that's a good one. Oh, that's hard too. Yeah, I got I had I had a lot. I spent a lot of money when I was playing the one week that I was playing. I was yeah once the one fucking myth and all these motherfuckers started to get in there.

I was like, I'm not good. Yeah. They're playing a different fucking game. So anyway, uh, apparently everybody jives with it. It's super cool with it. And I can see why. It's one of the best games that was ever there. Like, I didn't just get the llama just because.

Like, I really liked that game, like a lot. Game was fun. Yeah, super, super fun. So, happy that is, that, that is perfect. We'll see, we'll see how it goes today. And whoever wants to buy my account can buy it. Dang. It was super fun before everyone got so cracked.

Yeah. And just like, I didn't even do that, bro. Probably. My left hand can't. Like, I've went and, creative. I've tried. I never add one to creative. My pinky can't

like... Bro, your pinky look at my pinky. Like, I don't even know. Yeah, by basketball. Control. Like, I definitely can't hit control. I can't control either, dude. He's like this. I can't. Look at my...

I just can't. I just can't. What the fuck is your shit broken? Basketball accident. Oh my God. It just can't even sprint. It popped. It popped my knuckle out.

My knuckles. I was like, yo, get that back. So yeah, shout out to them. I'm gonna play it today. Hopefully it's good. Hopefully I have as much ones. The thing is, it had really good sniping in it. And I, like, even the iron sights were fucking fun as fuck to use. So fun.

Wait, I forgot about that. There wasn't iron sat like car. Yeah, the car. You could like pop off with that shit. Pop off. And it was at the time where you can pick up the jets. So like, if you had the jet and you were like, you know, levitating, like you could shoot super good. So I'm looking forward to it.

Like I, like I said, I like the game. If people would have listened, we would have had Ninja and other people. It's dope. It's dope seeing a company, you know. Just do updates right away, listen to the community, get playlists in which people want to play. I don't know. I just like that. So what's up with, have you guys heard anything from Halo?

Because I think it's losing a little bit of steam in my page. No, you didn't see there's a new cookbook coming out. No? Why isn't that up there? There's a TV show. There's a pretty big deal. I know about the show. I haven't watched you to read this tweet that they tweeted.

Go find a tweet. The show apparently is like good. No, the show is whatever. That's cool. I'm going to watch it when it comes out. But you guys see this cookbook shit. And keep in mind, we haven't heard shit from Halo at all. Okay, so no one's giving you any updates?

The only thing anyone's ever done. This is what I see what we went up yesterday. What? Time to upgrade your armory right alongside your pantry. announcing the official HALA cookbook from inside editions available for pre-order right now. What is it? What does it even mean? Go down.

Look at the responses. Let's see. Let's mine. Let's go. Cookbooks. Cook the competition and then go cook a meal. Not your best work there, Snake Byte.

I love you, though. They were seriously not kidding about this broader audience initiative. I mean... What are the meals going to be? What is it? Play that shit? You're going to be an end bomb.

Whoa. You got to click on the video, Matt. He did. He's choking, though. He put it on the wrong fucking audio thing. Oh, he's choked. He's choking. That's the same one.

You pick the same one. He picked the same one. He's actually choking. Oh, my God. I've never seen my choke like this. Bro, he's under pressure right now. He's turning red. Look at him.

He's like, he's like, good trust. Like, it's just move on. He just tries to talk on, man. He just brings the topics back up. What's he saying, man? Just tell us.

Repeat what he said. Yeah, word for word. Your volume's on, bro. It's all good, man. It's all good. I'm sure it's hilarious. Yeah. It's not on you, man.

It's just. technical issues. So go back up. I want to see this book. Go back up. I want to see this book. What's it gonna be? Like what is this? Dude a Halo cookbook? Like what? All I see is like subs, wings, burgers and like whatever. Nothing to do with Halo besides the name. But is it, is it like a, uh, like did they at least name the burger like the the Camel burger or something like that? Like a grunt birthday cake. Yeah. Boom. A warthog. Warthog nachos. Spartan salad. Travel through the other worldly culinary adventures of the Halo universe.

You think... Spartan Salad. Okay, so, but... I just, I don't get it. I don't understand what this collab is. Why are you collabing with cookbooks? Like, for real, what the fuck is this? Instead of what?

Instead of nerping the mangler. Like, or fucking caring at all. Like, where they gave us infinite? And it's supposed to last for 10 years, apparently. They really wanted to be infinite. And they have no updates. for the game. So what the fuck are you guys doing? I mean, I'm pretty

sure everyone's working on the battle roll. No, they're working on getting people. They've released another tweet, hiring people the other day. They're like, hey, we're feeling, I've almost filled out a job application. Because I was like, I could help probably, maybe like a Zoom thing. Just part time. Yeah, part time zoons or something. You know what? That's not a bad idea. It's not

that I did. Yeah, I'm like, you just give me an whatever. Because I just want to help. Like, if I knew how to code, if I knew how to code, I could actually help. I got a lot of free time. Yeah. I could actually help. know how to code so I could tell them cool ideas but if they don't know how to do it then like doesn't really matter yeah and like so so my thing is this imagine an alternate world in which they they continue to the steam that they launched with and they continue to be sucked off by everyone including me for how good of a launch they had and then on top of the on top of the updates and on

top of the hacker uh abolishment they release a cookbook everybody would be like yeah fucking cookbook yeah we'd be co-signing it like what that's dope yeah that's so clever i think i'm going to be today because it's been out for a month that's so clever but no no no and the thing is is like this this one minor cookbook in the grand scheme of things like this is something that was done by a business salesperson that has nothing to do with the actual game or with ranked this is just but they're always going to pile that on to the same team because it has been no update um has what was uh what's my man uh tashi been up to has he has beats me well he's fucking me well he well he It's not the coder.

I saw him tweet a clip the other day. Yeah, he was using the mangler. I'm like, damn, you really like that shit. He had it in his back pocket. Did he? Yeah, I don't know. I hope that, look, they had such a fucking dope watch. I specifically went up to Tashi and was like hyping him up.

I was like, I ain't going to lie, man. I doubted you guys. But like this event was great. Like the community seems bad. Yeah, like you guys like you guys did this well. They're like, yeah, no, we got you guys. We got you guys. I take it.

Trust. I guess they did do good at the time, but I take it back. I'm telling you it's not on Tashi. It's the thing. It's the fucking suits. It's suits. No, I think it's their team. I think it's their like team, to be honest.

I don't think their team is capable. It annoys me a little bit. Can't ex-employees just like call them out? We got hitched in the house. He's about to hand out some. What is that? Gamer grip. My God, why do you have so much gamer grip?

Is that Elgado gamer grip? No. Finally. Why did we have unlimited gamer group? Because everybody was asking. Because they were sharing. Like, Ilya and Seth, are like, you got the gamer grip? No, you got the gamer grip.

Not everybody can have 15 for their own stations. I remember Dash. He made Paige go get chapstick before a match. What does that have to do with Gamer grip? Well, she like, use Gamer grip. I don't really know where it. It's super dries it up. Reddit user claims that a razor headset

saved this life from a stray bullet. And I've seen it and it looks believable. There's an entry. It does. There's an exit would. There's an exit there. One shot. One shot.

One shot just went through my fucking head. Yeah. Yeah. Scroll that a little bit. All right. So go up a little bit. Let me read this. Let me read this a little bit.

Normally when people try to raise their headphones, they're so far enhanced audio but not bullet protection. It seems like a pair could have ended up. saving a life in a thread on reddit whatever the fuck reddit is i don't even know a user by the name of enough dance 956 posted a series of photos showing the state of his headphones after a scary shooting outside of his house go up let me see it again there's an exit there's an exit and and i can see found the bullet as well uh oh that's a shell no that's not the show that's the actual bullet let me see the broken window i wonder if it like knocked his headset off

He just got shot in the head. He just got shot. That is insane though, dude. Like, I wonder if it blew his headset off. He's just, what? He's just the fuck was that. So, I saw this on Instagram. a day before I saw it on Twitter.

And it was mind blowing to me. Matt, what is this? Where are you at? What website is this? And why are you there? Razor saved my life. You know, shout out Razor, man. You know?

Bulletproof headsets. No, I mean, it's bullet repellent. That is like, is, okay, here's my question. All right? Here's my question. I can see that the glass is broken. It has a bullet wound. But look at the screen.

Where's the hole on the screen? I think it is there. It's just a screen, though. You just can't really see it with a naked eye. Uh-huh. Where? Go to the other picture. God, damn.

Go to the other picture. Is that where you're looking at, Matt? It is there? Or go to the other... Uh, yeah. You see some rippies. I don't know. Oh, yeah.

It's just the camera angle. We're only seeing, like, the top right of... Pondon. Yeah. That's crazy. Well, I'm glad that you're alive. Crazy Dan Crazy Dancer, 956. That would have been a crazy game of death.

You can go back to dancing. That's just, I was going to go down the wrong thing. He's like, fuck this. I'm a turn. So, KFC's opening up their first fine dining pop-up. I think, look, I think about everything that's happening on, on Twitter, on, on TikTok. talk, the shows that you and I watch, right? Like the cooking shows that people are like, all right, I'm going to see if I can make

a better spicy chicken sandwich using the ingredients that they use and then they do. So having a fine dining, fine dining restaurant does seem like something that could happen. Think about an artisan bacon double cheese. Is KFC even good? Huh? Is KFC even good? I like Popeyes better. I like Popeyes better.

I'm going to tell you one thing. I'm going to tell you. You can't fuck with Popeyes. but I'll tell you one thing where KFC fucked up is when they removed the potato wedges Yes
