We got to talk about the fucking legacy match again.
We were fucking, we were, we actually said no chance.
Yeah, that was insane.
We spawned in.
I felt like you guys had like at least a chance.
And the warps have felt decent.
And the warps have felt decent.
Ant and AG both played with me and Damon like last year in the kickoff and we won,
or the, the off season.
Have you played B-O-2 before?
I played like, uh, rank.
Oh, yeah.
Well, like, I thought it was, I didn't think it was going to be that bad.
And it was on the Xbox series.
I don't think it was going to be bad either because, like,
We were all getting turned on.
It's impossible to aim with that.
I don't know what you're on Xbox.
I was pissed when you were zapping.
Because I swear to God, I watched all your kill cams when you killed me.
Slums on CTF.
We spawned fucking, I don't even know junk or whatever.
Like back left.
Yeah, like we were spawning garage side.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And we spawned off the left.
Yeah, yeah.
You literally came out of grave.
Iron me.
Deleted me.
And I looked at your shit.
I'm like, his shit got no shake, bro.
In the warmups, I didn't have aim assist.
And I was getting turned on.
Yeah, no.
I was like, what are your strat?
I was like, holy shit.
This is about to be a long match.
And then David told me.
You actually scarred me.
I'm not going to laugh.
I actually scarred me.
Back to episode 196 of the Optic podcast today.
We have got world champion in the building.
Two world champions in the building.
And then me and both.
Hold it down.
Hold it down.
How are you guys doing this morning?
Good, good.
I had a call this morning.
some top secret stuff.
I think people are going to be pretty hyped about it whenever it officially comes to light.
I can't talk about it at all, but I had a nice.
Oh, I didn't even ask you about that.
Yeah, I had a call this morning, a creative, creative call.
So I'm feeling good.
And I'm excited for all that stuff to start coming out.
I wonder what stuff like in those like business calls.
I never seen.
I'm on point.
I've never seen even a business call before.
We're playing B-O-1 next year's for the legacy.
No, it was not anything like that.
But I'm on point in the business call.
Dude, I saved you guys, by the way.
What was it?
What was there?
Dude, the, the legacy match graphic.
We're doomed on a lot of Cods, I might add.
What?
We're doomed on a lot of them that are pre.
The Black Ops, the Black, the, the, the legacy match graphic was about to go out.
Yeah, for sure.
And it was Black Ops 1.
You guys were this close.
B01 would have been fun.
You guys were this close to playing Black Ops 1.
Because B01, like, dude, B01, everyone's using the same gun.
There's no like, there's no, like, there's no.
attachment cheese or everyone's using a fucking FAMOS.
No one would have liked watching that shit.
They would have been like, no.
Well, you guys would have slammed them.
I think it would have been closer than Black Ops 2.
Black Ups 2, we can never play B02 against them again.
No.
I thought, because we played a,
I thought it was going to be on PC on plutonium
and everyone was going to be able to use their controllers.
Once I heard that it was on the Xbox Series S,
I was like, okay, I thought that was going to even the playing field more.
That's what I was thinking too.
Like maybe they'll just get turned on.
No, they're not getting turned on.
Exactly.
They are zapping.
And they're spawn trapping me.
Actually, no, I think if it was on PC, they would have done a lot better.
If they could actually use their PS4 controllers, it would have been a lot better.
But since it was Xbox as well, like, I feel like the knowledge gap kind of took over a little bit.
And they couldn't use, like, their raw skill as much because it's not their normal controllers.
So it was just a recipe for disaster for the Optic Texas.
I felt bad.
I was like, yo, this isn't even like competitive.
And I thought it was going to be.
Bro, we sponded to Yemen, we kept calling that statue hill.
We're like, skump hills.
And then I realized like, we're fucked, bro.
Scumptill?
We lost, bro.
Next year, I think B.O4 is a good medium.
Yeah.
Because everyone played B.O.4?
Yeah, he played it.
Kenny was nasty.
You were nasty.
And then A.G.
Ant was nasty.
Apparently, A.G said that he grinded it with the MIFT boys.
Maybe we do B04 next year.
Age is a cloud.
B04.
B04 had been good.
It would have been good.
I don't know about the Jetpack games because like B03.
is ported on the PC now.
AW is apparently fucked, like with the guns.
You guys are running us on AW&A and IW.
Well, AW, the ASM1 and the BAL are both like,
Kenny said the game is like not the same at all anymore.
So it's like we can't really do AW, but I think B04 would probably be a good medium.
Yeah, B04 probably the best.
Yeah, B04 was late.
I had a good time playing that.
And it's console, it's like,
it's a throwback, you know.
We did like a stream yesterday where like we tried to play a series in every cod.
It didn't really work out because fucking the stuff.
too many cods, but
dude, Blackouts 4 was fun.
Yeah, B04 is...
It was so much fun.
It's so unique compared to every other cod, like the stem and shit.
Yeah, it's so weird.
We can't do B02 again, though.
Oh my God, but trust me, we're not, I'm like,
you know, even ants said it.
Once I heard, once I heard Ants did this, I knew it was chalk,
but mid Yemen, he goes, we're never fucking,
I'm never fucking playing this shit again.
Oh, yeah, he's completely chalk.
Yeah, I'm like, holy shit, if ants doing this, this is a shit I would do.
We all just globe trotting.
We knew all the rotations.
I'm playing for spawns.
Like, you guys are just spawning out.
And then before the fucking series started, Matt looks up to me or he texts me, he goes, I'm bringing my game change.
I'm like, what the fuck is a game changer? And then he was laughing at, oh, it's his halo controller.
I'm like, fuck is a halo. Yeah, he brought his own no delay.
That was the most comfortable for sure. Yeah. And then that's the one guy that didn't play the game. So it's like, wow, that's how you even it out. And then you have three people that are arguing who the fuck's the best in the game. Like no, I was a no, I was about. I was about. I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, A.G. What are they spawn? What are the, what is the class? Yeah. Then Ian, I know Ian's fucking calming.
Oh, Porter was, Porter was turned, Dame was turned.
They were common spawns.
They were common EMPs.
Like, yeah, yeah, that's another thing too.
We actually lost focus.
Ken Game 1 was like, he's like, bro, I can't even fucking see my screen half the time.
I'm getting fucking EMP.
And I'm like, I'm throwing EMP.
And I'm like, I'm throwing EMPs and shit, bro.
We couldn't even see our screen.
So then I switched the hard ride, but then you guys started stunning us.
You guys were too good, by the way.
I'm actually kind of scarred.
I'm not going to lie.
How do you all think it would have gone on Black Ops 3?
Just spawned, just, just, probably.
would have lost.
No, I think we would have lost B.03.
Because you've been playing it.
Yeah, but like, I'm the only one that's been playing it.
Nobody else has?
Yeah, that's what I think we would have been closer.
That's your team on B of three, though.
Yeah, like, I would have fraud, but they would have makes as much of a difference because
they got movement tech and shit.
Like, you already know, like, they would have been, they would have been crazy on B03, bro.
I don't know.
It would have been a lot harder.
I'm like, obviously.
It would have been a lot closer than that.
Yeah.
It would have been a lot closer than that.
We got 12 points, bro.
Holy shit
No dude whenever
I feel bad
I genuinely like after the Yemen
I was like bro like let's just beat him
because holy shit
This is so lopsided
No but we were also talking too
Like we could have actually did BOTU for search only
Because like S&D
Yeah you guys were
You also had 20 which is fucking
He had 20 kills
I'm like okay we're just getting ape now at this point
But at least it was more
Like we could finesse a couple rounds
Like it was a 6 5 and 6 3
And then the response
I mean shit like
We didn't even spawn in
Yeah, response were crazy.
But that's a need you could have been close.
Well, we learned our lesson.
When I saw the Yemen, because the only thing I did was not make it Black Ops 3 and then make the map set.
And I was like, I'm going to put all the Cold War maps and modes like up front.
So like it was like, what was it?
Dandoff.
We could have played standoff HP.
They throw them on Yemen.
Oh, yeah.
That's what.
Raid Hard Point was a great map one.
I think standoff should have been the second hard point.
Yeah.
Because we played that in Cold War as well.
Wait, really?
Standoff Hard Point.
Yeah.
standoff HB's got to be in there.
Standoff Hardpoint.
I'm pretty sure.
Didn't we play Stanoff?
I don't think so.
I love that man.
A little bit.
Standoff Hardpoint wasn't a Cold War map.
Actually, no, we didn't.
Oh, no, we didn't.
But we play tested it.
Like, everyone was scrimming it for like a week.
I'm pretty sure, but it never made it in.
It is a great map.
It's one of the best.
I just was trying to get, I was trying to make it where there's no like back-to-back
maps.
Like I didn't want it to be stand-off and stand-off.
Yeah, no, 100%.
So we went to we went to scumpill.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, I thought the series was going to be like 2-2
When Yemen was going to be like
The decider
Who's going to take the ease?
You genuinely thought that?
I thought that too.
I thought it was going to be closed, bro.
I did not expect that.
When we were on Xbox, we were all getting turned on.
I'm like, we might be to finesse a couple maps here.
And then you guys spawned in, didn't miss a fucking bullet on me.
I'm telling you right now, I was like genuinely mind-blown.
Yeah, I'm going to say it one more time.
I mean, if you take away sets like 20 bomb and S&D
and then...
He had a 2.0 against us.
That's what I'm saying.
Like, if you take away a little thing,
that were like unique like I mean they could stick him in as two two if you guys weren't
erds yeah if we just got like 40 more kills in each other like 40 more kills but my aim
assist was turned off in free for all why I don't know someone who's sabotage me someone who's
sabowing me AG I literally shot a full bullet at him in red on raid and we were playing like our
our bot free for all I shot a full clip of him in red miss didn't get a single hit marker he turns
around runs in a circle and knife me and I just look at him through the
monitor like I was like oh my god and he was like he gave me like a look like yo like
this guy might be fucking hammered on the stage right now and the daman was like dude it looks
like you don't have aim assist on you dam was like watching me he was like check your target
assist and i was like target assist first of all what the hell's target assist is that on the and it was
disabled and i was like wow someone was sabotaging me someone was definitely trying to
because there's no reason to ever turn that off someone was sabboing me
Someone had to have done it.
I bet you when you got up there too,
they were like,
Seth,
you're sitting here.
Somebody might have had my shit off.
I promise you my shit.
It might have been Corey Dunn.
Could have been Corey Dunn.
I promise you my shit.
I don't know.
I actually don't know.
It's hilarious.
It felt crazy.
Did you imagine Corey Dunn's just a secret hater?
Oh.
You find it and he's like,
fuck.
Yeah, right?
You drop a 19.
He's like,
damn it.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Corey Dunn might be a little suss on that one.
I don't know.
What sense did you plan?
Five.
I did that.
Yeah,
I played five.
I brought my default Xbox controller from home.
Oh, y'all were getting nerdy with it.
I sponding with whatever they gave me.
For what it's worth, the event was dope.
Yeah, the event was nice.
How many people showed up like 700, 800, 800 people?
I mean, there was a lot of people there.
We did a couple autograph sessions, got to meet a bunch of the green wall.
I was surprised that many people came, to be honest.
That was cool.
It was packed.
Yeah, it was packed.
Yeah, it was packed.
I wish you could have did more, though.
What do you mean?
Like more OMVVVs versus people?
Oh, yeah.
I mean, it was such a long day at that because we got things.
We got there at like 2, 245, most people got there.
And I think we ended up wrapping at like 10.
So it was like an eight hour, seven, an eight hour event.
That was long.
And the 1v1s, we probably 1 v1 for like, what, an hour?
We tried to get everyone, like, towards the end of the 1v1.
It was like, who hasn't played so we can get everyone a rep.
Yeah, yeah.
But yeah, the event was, the event was dope besides the actual, besides the response.
The searches were fun too.
Literally just the response.
If it was just searched, it would have been kind of.
Yeah.
But then you could only do best of five.
And yeah, I don't know.
I feel like in a match like that, you got to like, you got to play.
You got to play variant.
Yeah.
Like it's.
Oh, for sure.
Yeah.
For sure.
Well, how the, how the, the event was like originally pitched.
It was it was supposed to be a, it was supposed to be a flank versus the watch party or flank versus show match.
And then after that it was going to be dynasty versus Texas.
And so if that happened, it would have been flank for show match.
So we see the flag.
So we got to warm up.
So then like black, Black ops two would have happened.
And then, and then Dynasty versus Texas would have been.
A different game.
Yeah, Blackups 4 probably.
Blackups 3.
Wait, so how long would that event have been?
It would have been the same.
We just would have gotten rid of like the press conference and all that.
Like the one day.
Yeah.
But.
They dodged?
Yeah, they dodged.
Wait, what did you guys?
I mean, I don't blame them.
Tail between the legs.
Tucked it under.
I'm not going to lie.
I don't blame them because like flying out for just that one show match.
It is a big investment.
Like, yeah, it is.
A big time.
She would have banged, though.
Yeah, it would have been.
Eventually the flank the flank first of the watch party whenever it happens that shit will bang
It'll be so fun.
Wait, what'd you guys beat us last year and ghost?
Because that was closer no uh ghost was closer I was talking to Ian backstage he was like dude that was like afterwards and he was like I was uh I was like yeah was uh it was work
or was ghost close uh it was me damon
us in Ghost.
That's what Gives.
That's what Gadsley.
Matt didn't play last year.
It was me,
Damon,
Ian and Mark.
No sense.
Like,
I feel like in Ghosts.
Like,
did we just win S&Ds?
I don't remember what,
I don't remember what you guys want.
But at least it's like domination.
It's not like HP
where you're spawning out the whole time.
Like we could just cheese you guys.
Or CTF where you're just getting sponsored.
But you can also.
It just felt like,
you know,
like we just got literally fucking aim gaped and
fucking knowledge gap.
So it's like,
We should we have nowhere to go.
Slum CTF, you're just spawning.
I was hoping he didn't know the spawn.
So I was like, let me owe.
No, I'm getting straight iron in the first life.
I'm like, Crammy's already on this shit in blue.
I know he's calming that shit.
I mean, it was literally three people that are considered probably top three in the game of one team.
Yeah.
I know, trust me.
And they didn't play.
I'm telling you, he scarred me.
I watch all of his kill cams specifically.
I don't watch any.
I'm telling you all your kill cams, I was like, dude, is this guy God, though?
Because this guy is immune to delay.
I was like, I kept saying.
What is that?
for two different arguments.
What does that event do for the MLG era versus CDL era?
Nothing.
And second, what does it do for how people view Black Ops 2?
See, like, that's the thing.
Whenever we do these throwback matches,
first off, they are throwback matches.
Like, you can't compare us versus that.
See, that's where like it gets weird
because it's like, obviously the Dynasty versus the current roster.
It's like, you can't compare us playing like Black Ops 2
or us playing B-O-4.
us playing B-O's like because that's nothing first off it's nothing like how it was and nobody's
grinding the game it's like we're just spawning in for the fun of it and i don't know i feel like
people take it like a little serious sometimes they're like there's a group of people that take it
serious yeah yeah i see that too on twitter and show i'm like where it's like this is supposed to be a
fun thing and then people like make it weird and they're like oh the dynasty is so much better
than it were oh my god up to texas would have ran back in the day it's like how how could
you know that. Nobody's practicing. Nobody's skimming.
Like, we're just spawning in. So
it's just for fun. And
I know we got ran, but I didn't
think anything of it because last year was just kind of the same
shit. So I was like, and then you guys won champs.
But I think it's different this year because we won champs.
So people are just comparing like, because you guys want champs,
we want champ. So it's like which roster is like
nobody. There's always comparing it.
Yeah, everyone's always comparing.
It's so, it's impossible
to though from like.
It's funny because like every
time Black Cups 2 happens, like
you know, the old players will come out
they'll be like, dude, this is the best cot.
It was the best cod.
Yeah, there's no slide cancelling.
And then like, oh my God, I think it's.
The new gen, they're like, dude, this game looks ancient.
Yeah.
And so it's, it's, it is funny.
Because usually, usually, I mean, I don't think that series should have been on Black Ops 2, but,
but like I think, I think it's still, I think it's still just a beautiful game.
It just holds it's, it's just, whenever you play a throwback tourney, it's like, at least for me,
like Black Ups 2 is kind of like that main game for throwback tourney's just because it's, it's literally
the peak of Cod. It's like that's the
golden era. I also
think that, I mean, I don't know if it would have as much
like pull or I guess
motion, but even if we had the same
eight players play, but we just mix up the teams, I mean,
I guess it takes away from like the dynasty
in like Optic Texas, you know what I'm saying, but
yeah. Like we did like two and two or like the sub
or like me and Damon play with you and Penn
and then yeah, please do that.
Please take me.
I mean, I think like in a
in a perfect world, which is what people
kind of want is
somehow it's a mix of games in one series.
But that is just so much work.
Logistically nightmarish.
Yeah.
Unless you literally have all the games on one console
and you literally play like Map 1 and then dashboard
and go to like ghosts.
Like if you have to switch from Xbox to PCs,
there's going to be one that just can't take it.
Exactly.
One is just going to keep closing to opening these games.
And then the whole event's just dead.
Can't open a lot.
W, oh shit.
Bro, imagine playing like a map of B-O-2
and then immediately going to play
a map of V-O-3.
Like, you're like, what the fuck?
I'd be like, what the fuck is going on?
Like, your brain is like lagging.
You're like, holy shit, I can't, I can't adjust this quick.
Yeah, that would be an ex-s.
That shit would be exhausted.
You didn't even have the right class.
You just got to, yeah.
Damn, you can't even fix it.
Go to the next game.
A-W.
What?
I got to figure out how to XO boost again?
Like, oh, man, that would take me like,
that would probably take me a couple days
to, like, fully get back to, like,
oh, yeah.
just how the game felt like the movement,
it would take me a couple days to like feel fluid again.
When I first spawned in on AW, oh my God, I'm probably like a brick.
I'm like not moving.
You're running like this.
You're like playing that shit for three hours max.
Oh, man.
AW, that was much.
I was a jetpack hater.
I played it for three hours.
What the fuck is this?
Really?
I love jet packs now.
I wonder, did any of them play AW?
Kenny?
Kenny.
Kenny was on justice right.
AG probably did with his kangaroos back in Australia.
Yeah, right?
Actually, Ken team with Dylan in that.
I remember playing Dylan, Kenny, I think Assault and someone,
Spacely, maybe.
But that was the first time I ever played, like, Kenny, Dylan, like that new era coming up.
Yeah.
Was in AW, I'm pretty sure.
The worst is in AW and you just like, you would like slide, jump, boost,
and you're going to go backwards and you just hear,
and your boost had run out and just makes that little click sound.
And you're like, oh, shit.
Is that the most turnt jetpack game?
No, probably B-O-3.
There's like the wall running.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
If people, like, if you were to go back, I think B-O-3 right now would be the most turn
because you can, like, hit the wall bounces.
A-W was just, like, thrust.
There's a clip out there somewhere of, like, Blake and I commentating a Black Ups 3 throwback.
I forgot who it was, but they do a wall run on, what is it, breach, I think.
Is Breach the one with, like, underwall run?
Yeah, there's a middle under wall run.
There's a broken building and then the top AC.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So there's like, there's like, you know, like the, the,
the uplink part,
away from like the big building.
Yeah,
like the no man's area.
They could do the side wall run
and look over middle.
Yeah.
They jump down and there's like a little pole
almost where you would fall off the map.
And I think it's like Nogafin.
It's like a wall runs around that tiny little pole
and then throws like just just like throws the ball to,
uh,
to get one point and falls off the map.
It was fucking great.
Like if that had happened during the prime of Blackups three,
people would have been like,
mind blown.
Oh,
100%.
There was already
some crazy shit
that happened
that you know.
Remember the
killer and who was he
watching?
The viral YouTube.
It's not viral
but like he's
spectating,
I think,
Illie running around.
Yeah,
on fringe.
He's just war running.
He's like,
what's the
bro off spawn.
He's in the spawn in second.
Oh yeah,
no,
it was on fringe and he did
the middle wall run.
Yeah,
then he went from like,
he went from top barn
to top grand he's like,
in like three seconds.
In like three seconds.
Yeah,
I remember that clip.
Killah was by,
he's like,
he's like,
just jumped across the whole map.
You did it, yeah, that was actually
down here.
If only B.03 had two hard points and not four
games. Yeah, that's its only flaw.
Nah, and pick and bands.
Capture the fly. Dude, pick and bans.
Oh, yeah, that's pretty, that's pretty cheese.
Oh, my God, we were responding in with Shiva's, high caliber,
Shibas at champs.
Because the worst team is just going to try to make the game as, like,
literally as weird as possible.
Oh, yeah, no one would play us straight.
Bro.
Baner protects.
Baner, like, afterburn.
It's so weird.
Every year had something weird.
It can't be flawless.
It can't be.
Yeah, like, well.
Why? Why? I mean, I think it's funny because like, or I guess in, in League of Legends and stuff, like that, that part of the game is fun.
You're like, oh shit, what are they going to be a band?
Yeah, but it just doesn't. They tried to make it translate. It just doesn't translate.
Yeah. It just turns into goofy cod more than anything.
Cudas and Vespers and, oh, man. No after burner. And there was no way to, there was no like, there was no like turn by turn basis.
Like you had to race the other person to band.
You remember that?
So you're just like locked in trying to get your cursor.
It's you.
It's you first Matt.
And I'm like, what?
And then you're like, I don't know where it's, what page?
And Cribs like, yo, uh, uh, three times bumper bumper down.
Yeah, right?
No, like you have conversations like that.
Like, yo, do you remember where this is or like we're like third row ninth?
Wait, like Cram was definitely on that.
Oh, 100% last row. Last row.
Oh, bottom.
Bottom.
I remember at the little Tito's invitation.
It was like the first of land.
Ian was like locked in
He was like Damon
It's bottom row
We're like left side
And I was like what the fuck are we doing
This is so crazy
That's when we got annihilator
Off the map
I remember that shit
We were like oh my God
Dude the annihilator used to last
Like a minute and a half
You're fucked
You lose the round
Yeah it's just slacks
It has fear you to fucking peach
It's cash
You what
Has full amicist
It's impossible to messer
Remember when Nameless would use
The bow and arrow
For the first half of the year
Barrow
Somebody was like
Guys
Nameless, you've got to give it up.
He's hilarious.
That shit was dope, though.
It was fun.
You hit somebody full charge?
They fly back.
Yeah, they fly and they explode.
It was fun.
All right.
So I guess the cat is finally out of the, officially out of the bag.
Even though Seth has been leaking the cat all month from what I've heard.
No.
So this is the thing.
We've been trying to keep the race secret, but it was never a secret to start with.
Because I've been talking about doing the race for literally,
literally the day that I heard Master Prestige was in the game, I was like, we're doing the race.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The day that it got leaked.
I was like, we are doing it.
It was in the group chat like immediately.
Yes.
I was like, okay, Master Procedures in the game, we are doing it.
Like, it hasn't been in the game for when's the last time it's been B04?
I think B04 is the last time it's been in the game.
I think Blount is four, yeah.
I mean, that's like, that is not even the CDL era.
And the CDL era has been like five, six years at this point.
That is.
half a decade.
Also insane. Yeah. Another thing
that they changed. Half a decade where we've
not had Master Prestige.
So right when I heard about it, I was like, we're running
that. Because that's like what everyone
looked forward to. It was either
you were playing kickoffs or
you're doing like a race
or some people are doing a race.
Did y'all ever watch the race?
Well, did y'all ever do one?
Y'all didn't. Yeah, yeah. Didn't we?
Yeah, we did. What game was it?
Yeah, what game was it? Oh, didn't you all do one on
on Mono Warfare 3
after the game
it would already been out?
It might have been MW3.
I think it was MW3.
That's when you all got swatted, right?
No, that was during GTA.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
We're doing GTA.
I don't remember if that was the same stream
and I could, my memory could be failing me,
but I think that was during like our,
because then we do a hell long GTA stream.
It was like a 24, 48 hour GTA stream.
That's when we got swatted.
I'm pretty sure.
The first time I ever met Flame Sword
or when he moved in, we were doing some shifts,
but I can't remember what game.
sure it was GTA, if I remember correctly. But I think we did do, I think we did do one race. So this is our
second ever race. And we're going all out. All out. We're doing a 24-7 live stream. We're going to have
multiple setups in the room. We're going to have bunk beds. So everyone's sleeping here. There are,
I'll play on one account. Yeah. So like we're going to have our main like setup and then we're
going to have side set up. So like if you want to go stream like by yourself, whenever you do your shift,
you come do your shift or if someone's doing their shift
and you want to come just like hang out with them
you can just put the mainstream on and just come hang out on the couch
and then if you want to play you can go over to your setup
and play like on your individual stream.
So we're basically doing like a mini sub-a-thon
within the race.
So like everyone's going to be live.
I think the shower situation,
I think we get one hour outside of like here a day.
So like I get to go home like 10 minute drive, 10 minute drive.
I got like 40 minutes to go home, shower,
see the animals,
and then I got to be back.
And then if you're not back within the hour,
there's like a punishment or you got to do something.
Why don't all you guys have to be here though?
Isn't it like, for example, there's five of you, right?
So is it like six hours, six hours or whatever,
five hours, whatever it is.
And then you guys all have to be here,
even if it's not like you actually.
Yeah, even if you still have to be here like either on your own set up.
Just those five, just those five.
But like, let's say like,
Hitch is playing.
Then you four have to just pretty much just be around.
them and like yeah well they can stream
on their own oh so you guys will stream from your own setups
yeah okay okay so like if you want to go play on
your own setup you can if you want to just hang out on the
couch and hang out with whoever's
doing the actual race stream you can
and y'all are sleeping here yeah
have you seen the bunk beds
I did but like I didn't think anything of it
yeah there's six bunk beds so it'll be the five of us
and then we're going to try our best to have a rotating
sixth like whoever wants to come in
can come in for 24 hours I would have
I don't know.
Confirmed,
but my move day is literally the 24th.
You're what?
My move day is literally the 24th.
Oh,
I mean,
you can come in any day.
Well,
yeah,
I'm gonna come in regardless.
Yeah,
you can come in any day.
I'm sure we'll probably shoot content during it.
Like,
we're going to be here for a whole week.
Like,
I'm sure they'll be like,
well,
there will probably be a point where we're like,
yo,
we'll be back in an hour and a half guys.
We got to go film for content or something.
Yeah.
Like,
it's going to be.
I mean,
I think even then,
like,
Matt could just put like a,
could could like film us
like recording the content
if he needs to but
yeah but we got like a different
a lot of different stuff like planned
I mean shout out to
I think the phase
subathon was pretty dope we've got a lot of ideas
like based off of what they've been doing
and all the all the other subatthon type streams
that have been going on out there like
there's some there's a pretty fucking good ideas that we have
we got special guests that are going to be coming in
I already told like shots EG obviously you're more than
welcome to Brandon, but the COD team, if they want to come in for like a little four hour
segment, just come in or just come in, play like four hours on the account.
I've heard we're also going for some other special guests.
I don't really know what's going on with them.
But yeah, it's going to be, it's going to be like a fucking mini, it's going to be like a mini
sub-aathon for like probably seven to 10 days.
Yeah.
Probably.
It'll probably take us like a week.
Probably.
Because I would say each prestige, obviously we don't know how the leveling system is going to be,
but usually a prestige back in the day
would take like 8 to 10 to 12 hours maybe
so we could probably rifle through like two prestigious a day
so maybe it'll be like five days
we just kind of got to see
but there's always a phone or someone's playing
somebody's always playing
always playing it never is there's never
somebody not like grinding
yeah so even if we've got something going on
in the background like
I don't want to spoil anything
but like say say something something is happening in the background like uh i'm one of the one of the
incentive goals is i have to restring a guitar it's boring but i all the other stuff is already taken
so we get we hit like 40 000 subs on set's account they're like oh shit hitch has to restring
guitar so then like in the i'm assuming in like the top corner of the stream like the game's still
going whoever's shifted is is still grinding but like in the big screen i'm stringing your guitar or
you know whatever the actually
whatever the actual thing would be.
But somebody's always
always someone is playing.
It's like multiple shows.
Right, exactly.
One, okay.
It's like a sub-a-thon, but like.
I'm getting a tattoo.
I think Nick's getting tattoos.
Oh, see, I was going to say tattoo,
but I didn't know if we were talking about it.
No, I've already, I've already spoiled that.
That was like, whenever I was doing my 24 hours,
like, if I, if we hit this, I'm going to get the tattoo during the race stream.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So we got a lot of shit going on.
It's going to be crazy.
It's going to be crazy.
Yeah.
And we're going live on October,
23rd for a day zero special
just to like kind of warm up.
Oh yeah.
Get used to it because obviously
it's gonna be a big shift
and we don't want to just be like
We can play some blackups too.
We could do whatever but we I don't know
you don't want to like go live and then be like
okay you don't want to go live like as the game goes.
And then it's just randomly like you have to flip a switch.
Yeah and then you're just in it for seven days.
It's like there's no warm up to like.
No build them.
Yeah.
Wait so you guys are all
all five of year are going to be it's kind of like the phase one where you guys are
all five live from like the beginning of it until the end.
Until the end.
And we'll be right over there.
Okay.
Okay.
It's like a sub-bathon.
So at any time,
if you're like,
I'm bored,
what are the boys up to?
Just come on over,
man.
Come on over.
And we're going to have sub incentives.
So like just other shit that we're going to be doing.
Like,
I'm sure a production has been like kind of taking the wheel on the sub-incentives.
So I can't wait to hear what they have cooked up.
Is there anything you're like worried about?
Just no,
no bugs.
No bugs.
No bugs.
And I'm good.
I'm just saying like in general.
I'll eat shit.
I'll fucking eat shit.
He's got a belly full of white dog shit.
But yeah, I mean, just no bugs.
No bugs and I'm good.
Is there any, because I've never been live 24-7 before.
Is there anything you're scared about?
Are you nervous?
About for that?
What do you mean?
Just being live 24-7?
No, I think my biggest concern is when I wake up, I'm a little cranky.
Like, it takes me like an hour to wake up.
So, but again, we have an hour to, like, go home and shower.
Like, before I shower, I'm usually like a little grumpy.
I'm not going to lie.
Before I shower and get some water in me, like, I'm like, I wake up and I'm like,
what the fuck's going on?
Yeah, exactly.
I'm kind of worried about like snoring a little bit.
No, I'm not, I don't snore, I don't think.
I do snore.
Okay, that's going to be insane.
I'm going to have to bring earplugs and shit.

October is the season for wearing masks and costumes, but some of us feel like we wear a mask
and hide more often than we want to, whether at work, in social settings or a
family and therapy can help alleviate that pressure.
A lot of people think that therapy is only there to help one specific problem,
but it also can just help guide you through life,
whether it's depression, anxiety,
whether you're not feeling comfortable in your own skin,
whether you're having troubles with scheduling or whatever it's going on in your life,
talking to someone will help.
A lot of pressures online, especially comparison pressures,
is something that I've dealt with and I've gone to therapy to help myself get through that.
A lot of my friends have too.
If you're thinking of starting therapy, give better help a try.
It's entirely online designed to be convenient, flexible, and suited to your schedule.
All you have to do is fill out a brief questionnaire to get matched with a licensed therapist
and you can switch therapist at any time for no additional charge.

You can put trades down on almost anything.
Last time we were able to walk through a couple of examples, one of them being video game of the year.
Which video game do you believe is going to win the Game Awards video.
video game of the year and there's percentages. There's what the vast majority thinks it's going to be
compare and then you can put down your stake. So you can you can purchase a couple contracts for
a certain amount each. This one, Astrobot being 73 cents per contract. You buy $100 worth of
contracts and if Astrobot wins game of the year, you win $34. And obviously you play the odds
based on that with Final Fantasy 7,
black, what is it,
Wukong? I mean, there is a
black myth, Wukk, there's a
lot of possibilities if you
you think somebody's going to come out on top.
That is not suggested to win, but
apparently Astrobot is amazing.
I haven't played it yet. So yeah, if you're
correct, you will make X
amount based on the
contracts that you buy. You can
also sell the shares early
to lock in a profit, and if for some
reason you think the opposite will
happen, you can also take the no side for a price. We are proud to have Kalshi as a sponsor,

yes yes but like if you guys are playing a kickoff we might like we'll be able to like watch party
that that's what i'm hyped for i'm hype for shit like that like like like i said like there's gonna be
like we're going to be live one sunday so there's going to be NFL games so like reacting to
the fucking like we'll have like a whoever's playing and then like everybody else is watching the eagles game
We're watching the Cowboys game.
Yeah.
That shit's going to be fun.
How long is each shift?
Like, we don't know.
Well, if there's six people, divided by it.
It would be four hours, but we might, I don't know, we might switch it up and some people might have longer shifts or other.
Yeah, four hour shifts seems kind of small.
That seems like nothing.
Yeah.
I feel like we could do longer shifts than that.
Yeah.
Like, I mean, people do like eight hours and then like that kind of gives everyone else like a chance because then if there's, well, the guess.
I mean, we'll think about it.
Yeah.
We'll brainstorm it, but it's going to be insane.
It's going to be insane.
We haven't done anything like this for a very long time.
And this was the perfect opportunity to like run a crazy like sub-a-thon stream like this.
I remember watching the Black Ops One race, like the Machinima guys used to do.
I used to watch the machinima ones all the time with like scene anners and hutch and all them.
It's so nostalgic too because like it's the race.
Like we haven't, again, we just haven't had the opportunity.
to do it because they've been capping the levels like during season zero they cap it like 250
yeah like this is like a legitimate race prestigious it's just a perfect storm to to run it so i'm hype
it's gonna be crazy being the because like every once in a while you'll go into a lobby whenever the
master or the prestige system is happening and you're like what fucking prestige is that guy yeah right
it's gonna be fun to be that account be that guy like yeah i'm yeah like i like i'm yeah like i'm like
Procedge 8 on like, fucking day two.
They're like, wait, this guy is insane.
What the fuck?
Get off the game, nerd.
Yeah. We're going to be getting chirped.
We're going to be getting stream sniped like crazy.
No, I don't think so.
Dude, I was trying to stream snip the machinima guys.
And that was 20 years ago.
Fucking 15 years ago.
I mean, yeah, people will definitely be trying to like cue snip us,
but it's kind of hard to stream sniping.
A brand new game that like everybody's queuing?
Yeah, there's going to be so many people playing the game.
It's going to be.
Yeah.
Yeah, it'll be interesting.
If you want to avoid it, like, you could literally just hide your screen to play a different game mode.
They're like burst in between three.
Yeah, right.
It's impossible to jump from like DOM to HP.
Yeah.
Impossible.
Impossible.
Unless they're literally like, you have the same pattern.
How hard.
Yeah, right.
They're running down like HP.
HP DOM.
HB.
Okay.
TDM.
Okay.
Wait, TDM's weird.
Yeah.
You might actually throw them off with that.
Like, we can't do it.
That's just shock it.
Seth, are you trying to, are you trying to win it?
No, I don't think we're going to win it.
it because we're going to be doing, again, like, obviously it's the race.
People are going to be expecting us to try to win it, but we're also going to be doing
so much shit in the background and like kind of unfocusing ourselves, especially if we're like drinking.
Yeah.
That's how I feel too.
You know, like, quality of gameplay.
We're going to do our best to like keep it as competitive as possible and stay like in the,
in the hunt.
When we did the World War II race, because we did World War II until we hit 10th prestige,
dude I think the what is it the doom guys
I think there's like a clan that they that's what they do that's like
they're like a pub clean that's what they do and people were like
they've been doing that shit we're on prestige seven they're like they just hit nine
and it's like holy shit at that point we just start playing guitar and shit and
exactly we're just we're just making like no you don't understand bring out the fucking
monkeys you're saying bring out the dancing lobsters fucking let's go if like phase and like
Like maybe if like the phase guys and the nuke squad guys and like those type of people like if if those type of like creators do a race, I'm down to race them.
That should be fun.
Yeah.
But when it comes to like, because I know there's some crack heads out there.
Oh yeah.
They're going to like they're coming like you lost.
Well they're doing like their dailies.
They're doing all the weapon cameos to get extra XP.
They just know like the ins and outs of how to like gain XP the fastest.
Whereas we're probably just going to be like just playing.
Just playing going for camos.
Yeah.
Somebody was, I was like, how did the, I remember like playing World War II?
And I was like, how are the Doom guys so ahead?
They said, oh, they play, they play hardcore so there's no kill cams.
It takes fast.
It's a lot.
Yeah, see, like, we're not doing that.
Like, we're playing core.
I'm not playing hardcore.
Like, I'm not like, I am not playing hardcore.
The game is not as fun.
Yeah, no, not at all.
One tap by anything.
Because then, because then, not at all.
That's like strictly for camo's hardcore.
Yeah.
You need head shots or you need long shots going to hardcore.
because then like this whole thing is like like it completely negates the like the whole point of doing this
but yeah that I am I am going I am excited about this man I got to figure out what to do with Mace but
it's gonna be let yeah I'm fucking I am very very high what is what is what I was gonna
yeah I don't know what that is what's that it was in the works but it got canceled the call of duty
halo collab was reportedly in the works this year but got canceled that was all right game all right
Right.
This is just anything.
This could be...
We don't know what the collab was.
I feel like that's kind of crazy, no?
Like, because that's like a direct competitor.
I mean, it's an FPS.
Obviously, Halo definitely isn't like
as big as it used to be.
That used to be a rivalry though.
Yeah, like a direct competitor.
Like Halo 3.
Imagine
Master Chief running around.
And God, that would be so cool.
That would be fucking sick.
You look, there's an energy sword.
Oh, dude.
I don't know if that's like a real image,
but you see the energy sword
like the top?
No, that's not.
Did I just thought of some shit.
I thought a fucking dude.
Who wasn't necessarily like that?
Is that a real?
It looks real.
It looks very rare.
Whoever did it snapped.
Yeah, this shit looks so hard.
I can't lie.
I just thought of the,
I don't know if you said it,
but you were like when Crim was like,
buy that obitur.
I would have been,
but I would have to buy that.
The arbiters.
Who's that like the other,
like the,
the other, like the,
the,
the slug looking dudes.
Yeah,
that are like floating in their chairs.
I don't know if it was you or Matt that said it
That was fucking
It was probably Matt
I don't remember saying that
The Arbiter
Dude could you imagine
An energy sword as a melee weapon
And fucking God
Orvin the number one thing
Oh yeah
Like it would have been sick
I'm running around as the obitur
Oh yeah
The assassinations like would have been sick too
Like you literally like
Energy Sword
And they like lift off into the air
And they're just on your sword
Wow that would be
That they're just throwing
They might be saving it
They might have been like
Yo this is too good
for Mono Warfare 3.
We might save it for Blackup 6.
Maybe.
That would also work.
That makes sense to me.
That would also work.
There's got to be some legal shit.
If it was, if this graphic is real and it was already there, it was already at this stage
where somebody like made this design for the, for the shop, that means it was pretty far along.
Yeah, right.
What if it was also like, what if Valancod and I could just spawn in as just did a collab.
Yeah, right?
Yeah.
Pop knives.
I mean, Val has the best store in all of gaming, in my opinion.
By 400%.
Imagine if Cod started doing shit like that, oh my God.
It would snap.
You would wait for your...
Imagine trying to wait for that dragon crig in Cold War.
Dude, imagine if you could just get a melee that had in specs like Val, and it gave you
that much dope.
Cod would literally go next level.
That's the one thing that riot has people in a show called a, aka me.
Dude, Valer...
Watching Valerent streams is literally 90% them pulling out their knife and just spanish.
M-M-F over-
You just got your RGX butterfly?
I was looking at magic.
Yeah, right?
It's like 80% of VAL streams.
Did you all see Nade speed run buying an entire bundle?
No.
He was like,
oh, this bundles out and it was
which bundle?
I forgot which one of it.
It's the new, it's the like, you know,
when you log into Val,
it's like the main one.
Oh yeah, yeah.
There's like a whole like,
what is the one right now?
Singularity.
Singularity?
So yeah, I got that.
Oh, yeah.
It's like the butterfly.
It's like crystaly, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They had a deagle before.
I don't know what else.
They had like a knife that was like mid,
but the new knife is actually pretty good.
The vandal is,
the vandal hits, I can't count out.
You use the Karanami or whatever?
That shit's cash.
That shit's got like.
That and the primordium or whatever it's called.
I use the Prime 2.0 or whatever.
The prime?
That's my main one.
That used to be my main one before the Karinami.
Prime is, that's a go-to-chin.
It's a classic.
That's S tier.
What knife are you rocking right now?
I usually only run the Sovereign sword for the past three years,
but recently, like a week ago,
I changed to the Reaver knife.
The purple one?
Little like the flicky thing.
Oh, I do spam it.
Now, you always have the sovereign knife and you're playing Sova.
That's like the best combo.
It looks so cool with Sovo.
Yeah, it's the best combo.
I used the little like, I used the little fucking,
the little Buzz Lightier knife.
You know what I'm talking about?
Oh, yeah, yeah, TJ's it.
It's just like a little.
BlastX.
Yeah, the blast deck.
Can you look at the BlastX knife?
Nameless uses the little thing and he goes.
Yeah, yeah, the radio shit.
All he does the whole game.
Oh, the one that plays the...
Look at that thing, dude.
I walk around with that.
Dude, like some skins are actually so goaded, dude.
I love that fucking go.
Or that little knife.
If Cod got their skin game like this, it'd be insane.
Yeah, like the skin, Bose is talking about where the dude is literally on a game cue playing.
Like, what?
Yeah, right?
It's playing fucking...
Yeah, he's just like...
It sounds so cool.
No, it's insane.
I was looking at a people, I forgot what the brewered doing the other day.
And I was just looking at the gecko, like little blue thing that comes, the flash.
And I'm just like, bro, that's so crazy.
Like, that's awesome that they thought of that.
No, they did drugs.
They were like, all of his utility are a little animal.
And everything just works.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was thinking that.
Everything is animals.

Yeah.
I don't even play Gecko.
Dizzy.

hours of console vow right now console kids have never seen a yorro it's like the freest like i tp
behind them they don't understand the sound
reacting.
I don't even have to take a turn in time.
They're like, oh yeah, no, they're just
like, fuck, you guys behind us.
This shit is so fun.
Every time I play your door, I always try to,
once a game, I try to be a clone.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fuck, you shot me. I look so brain dead.
You even, you get shot and you still just keep going.
Yeah, you're like, please don't.
But you're tweaking internally?
Do you see about the Tesla robots?
Yeah.
Dude, we might be,
yo, if there's not somebody behind them
talking, like, just talking behind them, we are fucked.
This looks insane, I can't lie.
Dude.
It sounds like there's somebody like talking on the other side of me.
That's how good it is.
Really?
Yes.
What?
This is AI?
Yeah.
We are so screwed.
The robots playing charades, dude.
What?
You haven't seen this shit?
This is literally I robot, dude.
They tried to warn us in the movie.
We're flying too close to the sun.
We've got robots that can literally have full and intellectual conversations with you.
There's got to be someone on the other side of that talking through a microphone,
like in a fucking U-Haul somewhere, dude.
Or we're fucked.
We're getting too advanced.
We're screwed.
I can't laugh.
All it's going to take is one of these things to become sentient.
And then it's going to tell all the other ones how to become sentient.
Then we're fucked.
Ultron.
Avengers tried to show us, too, the edge of Ultron.
Jarvis gets taken over by Ultron.
Now it's a bad, now it's a bad bug in your PC.
And now it's transporting into the robots.
And they are fighting people.
So we got to get ahead on the Infinity Stones.
How much are they?
30 grand?
Those robots?
I don't think, are they for sale?
25K or something like that.
We got to find Dr. Strachms.
Oh, really?
They are for sale?
I thought I heard that they're for sale
All they got to do is learn how to
Yeah 30 grand
We'll cost around 30 grand
20 to 30 grand
Will be used to complete task and chores
Can Talk like humans and Move Like Humans
Expect to be ready
2025 that's next year
Black Mirror has tried to tell us
All these shows are trying to tell us
Like yo don't do this
What if superheroes are real
But they're waiting for a situation like this
No it's not real man
Dr. Strange is like coming out of nowhere
We don't got superheroes
That, dad right there, we don't got Thor.
How much is a robot?
Because I want one.
Because I won't.
They're not gonna come in.
No.
Hey, Optimus, what's up?
Are these robots gonna start taking our girls and shit too?
Dude, who knows, man?
The sky's the limit.
What if that motherfucker is smooth, yeah?
Dude, it's so creepy.
No, that's gotta be controlled by a human.
That's what I'm saying.
It's too fast.
it's too fast.
It's creepy.
It's definitely creepy.
So who knows?
I think it's obviously super cool,
but a little too close to the time.
I'm going to be jobless, boys.
There's going to be,
there's going to be somebody better than me at God.
And it's going to be this guy telling everybody
that I said that $10,000 was fake.
Yeah, that's kind of crazy.
Is it fake?
Did tell them before they went on?
You tried checking him out?
Remember you were there?
And I was like,
yo, just so you guys know,
this $10,000 is not real.
It's just for show.
I was like, when do I get to collect my prize?
And he's like, you know that shit was fake, right?
Wait, is it fake?
Oh.
Okay, we got it here on pod.
For Seth, it is fake.
Oh, no, we got evidence here on pod that I will collect.
My favorite part is collecting.
I will collect.
The collector.
I will collect.
Yeah, dude, Ian,
Ian last year, we sent him like a W-9 or something to fill out his stuff for the guys
one.
So you guys are just farming us here.
And Ian was like, wait, that was for money?
He had no idea.
He just won 2,500.
I mean, yeah, it was for bread.
I mean, trying to rig that shit.
It's standing up here.
It's for bread.
I'm trying to win that shit.
Damn, holy shot.
Kaisenat announces next Twitch sub-a-thon to reclaim his record from Iron Mouse.
Have y'all had that, uh, kind of like sandwich?
Imagine having that much motion that you can just be like, all right, guys, I'm about to make so much fucking money off this stream.
We are literally just trying to reclaim the sub record.
Take back down Iron Mouse.
Like, imagine just being able, that is insane.
Like, yeah, we're about to, we're about to just break the sub record.
So, so has Iron Mouse showed, has she done a face reveal?
Like, do we know what she looks like?
I couldn't tell you.
I haven't watched a single.
The top sub, Iron Mouse, whatever, does you even have a face cam?
No, it's a VTuber.
It's a VTuber.
She's a VTuber.
What does that even mean?
Like, uh,
AI.
Yeah, you know how.
Yeah.
It's that robot.
You know how like a...
That guy with the cat on con.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Confutives.
The guy with the cat.
Bro.
Yeah, so she's like...
Unknown mystery topsob.
They're doing it wrong, bro.
What?
I'm about to have my AI Superman.
Dude, at TwitchCon, there was a V-tuber that had like a booth and they did a meet and greet
and there was like a line all the way like around the booth.
It was right next to the World of Tanks booth where I was at.
And there was like a literal line like...
You know it was?
Looping.
I don't remember.
I think it was a he.
I don't remember his name.
Oh, okay.
Crazy.
All right.
It might have been a girl.
I can't remember.
But, yeah, V-Tubing is apparently insane.
It's just so, it's so different from our community that I don't really like watch it or get recommended V-tubers.
But apparently the V-tuber community is fucking nuts.
Yeah, right?
I'm about to be a cat, man.
Better be talking like, what those?
What the fuck are we doing on that?
What did she get?
It was a, she got a, how many subs?
300, something thousand?
I don't know how many subs, but it was crazy.
Yeah, it was, I mean, it was enough to.
Did I heard Kai runs max ads?
Huh?
I heard Kai Sunat runs max ads.
There's no way.
I want to, I want to see, if I looked at his dashboard, I think I throw up.
I'm not even joking.
If he's running max ads, I'd vomit.
I'm not even joking.
Max ads.
Maximum ads.
I think it's 22 minutes.
And he got.
the bro
326,000 subs
That is a million dollars alone
Just off subs
That is insane
I believe Iron Mouse
Donated half of her subs
To charity that month though
Because it was during
It was during September
So
I know his Kai is him
I mean yeah
If Kai's running max ads
He's running max ads
With that much motion
People don't care
Oh
Bro
It's basically programming
At that point
He was just printed
Yeah, it's just
It's just commercials
For the TV show
And if you don't want commercials
Buy a premium edition
I tried that Big Mac too
That he or whatever
The chicken Big Mac is it good
She was smacking back in the line
That's another
I was like of course bro, it's Kai
They're not
It's the rich get richer
You know what I mean
They're not gonna give my man's
Something that is not gonna sell out
Something's gonna print
Somewhere else
I mean yo people literally like try to do that
Or people would like make the Big Mac
They put like a McChic
inside of it to make it like the McGangbang.
That's what they call, right?
Now they just said, fuck it.
We'll just make McChickens.
And called the Kassanat?
What?
Get me on that.
Yeah, that's a glitch.
Dude, I used to eat those.
I used to eat a McGingbang on ironically in high school.
Really?
Yeah, I'd go back from soccer practice.
What is it?
A McChicken?
You get a McDouble.
You get a McDouble and you open it up in between the two patties
and you put an entire McChicken in there.
No, I thought you got a Big Mac.
Oh, no.
Is it not the Big Mac?
I thought it was you get a Big Mac and then you put a McChicken patty in between like the
Because it has all the bread that's what I thought it was oh I always did it with a
McDouble I mean it's the same thing just no Big Mac sauce and it's just you just smash it down
Were you high is it entire is an entire McChickin in a McDonald with the bread
That's not a showbread yeah I'm gonna put a McChicken
I'm gonna
My mouth is watering right now or wait were you high when you thought of this no no nah I
I should have been.
It was before I smoked.
That's the big gang bang right there.
The gang bang right there.
Oh, wait.
I think you're right, actually.
Is it a Big Mac or is it a McDouble?
You got to look up the recipe.
It might be a McDonald.
Or do you literally?
Yeah, it's a McDonald's.
Oh, yeah, it looks like a McDouble,
but you just literally take the bread from a McChicken
and put it in the McDouble.
Yeah.
Which is insanity.
But it probably slaps.
It slaps.
For some reason, it was a little spicy, too.
No, I'm getting hungry, bro.
We've got to take this out.
About to go get McDonald's after this.
Yeah, McDonald's.
Oh, my God.
Low key, bro.
You know what's underrated is McDonald's during the day
because they have like more customers rolling in.
Yeah, they're on board during the day.
At night at 2 a.m., you're probably getting some bullshit.
Yeah, 100%.
Yeah, let's get this order out, dude.
The fries work, the ice cream machine is not going.
Ice cream machine never worked.
During the day, everything works.
It's flawless.
They definitely care more during the day.
Everything does work.
I'm about to get McDonald's to the day.
You know, it's it's the day right now.
You know what I mean?
100%.
Dude, I'm going to eat way too much fast food.
It is what it is.
Get it out now before the sub-athom.
Nah, sub-a-thon is going to be all fast food
because we're only going to be able to order
unless someone's got a chef.
No, we're going to have to figure that out.
We're only going to be ordering.
You're a shit.
He kind of is, though.
X walks by.
How often are you going to be in the race?
You're not even going to be here when we start.
You said you're going to be gone.
23rd.
23rd
I was what to say
Yeah but you'll be back
Like when do you get back like late
October?
29th
Oh so shit
We might be close to dumb by then
That's what I'm saying
How long do you
He went from I'm going to be here every day
I might be here's crazy
How long do you think it's going to take us
Five days, six days?
It really just depends on like
How the challenges are
How the double XP is
And stuff like that
Like I'm assuming we're going to work on different guns
I think it's going to take us
I think we're going to get two procedures a day
especially if we have double XP rolling.
We'll get two prestigious a day.
That is pretty fair.
So like five to six days total probably.
Unless we go for level 1,000,
like master max prestige.
But that should be a sub thing.
That should be a sub thing.
Dude, we're going to be fucking wiped at the end.
But shit.
You think so?
If we all hit.
We are going to be caught it out by the end.
Like we are going to play the game
into the ground the first five days.
We have to fucking us.
This one with this fucking team.
What'd you say?
He has my play more than us.
Oh yeah.
We'll have nothing else to do besides play or watch because we're going to or do like
shit in the background.
Dude,
and the maps are so small we're going to be fucking zombies by the end.
I'm going to need ice buckets.
No bullshit.
Like I'm going to have to have production.
Yeah.
Wait a second.
16 hour days because that's, I mean,
sleep eight hours.
16 hour days.
Six v.
six on those tiny ass maps.
You're just.
Yeah,
it's going to be insane.
What's next?
LeBron tweets at Call Duty to get
Bronny a skin in the game.
Really?
He's like,
Bronny told me he wants a skin.
Talk to me.
Oh, it's an actual tweet.
Whoa.
If LeBron's tweet alone
gets Bronny a skin,
would be pretty insane.
Oh, Call Duty immediately jumped on it.
Immediately.
We know Bronny's a shooter.
Let's talk.
As they should.
I mean, shit.
You think, Seth, not to put you on the spot, do people that aren't you get more upset when you see like this?
Because they're like, Seth should have his own skin.
Well, I was, again, this is public knowledge, but I was supposed to get my own skin in the game.
It was literally like, we were already talking about it.
We were talking about doing it.
And then the kids needed saving.
Yeah.
And then the whole Nick Merck's thing happened.
And they like shut down everyone's skins.
But I was like, I was like next in line.
You and Swag, right?
Yeah, me and swag.
I think me, Swag, Tim got his, but I think it was me and Swag.
We're next, we're next.
That is insane.
And then that shit got shut down.
And we've talked about that multiple times.
And listen, there's no dig at anybody.
I'm just, that's just how I happen.
Did you, but it never got like, you didn't do your voice lines or anything?
No, no, no.
We were like talking about like, we were like in the very early process, but there was interest shown on both sides.
Like, let's do it.
Right.
And then it just didn't happen.
That's crazy.
Imagine running around.
Damn.
That is.
That shit would have been so sick.
The scump skin.
It's like we're gamers.
You know,
and then we grew up just grinding cod.
So you never really think that like in the game that you grinded your entire life,
they're going to make a skin of specifically you.
Yeah.
This is one thing if it looks like you,
but if it's actually made to be like.
It would have been cool,
but just wasn't meant to be.
It's crazy like running around in games.
There I am.
That's,
that's actually.
That's what it was supposed to be.
That was it right there.
No, no, that's like a fan created one, I think.
That's funny.
Yeah, that shit would have been so dope.
It is, it's funny playing, like, games where you're like a rapper.
Like, you hear Nikki Minaj and you hear Nikki Minaj's voice.
You're like, what the fuck?
This is crazy.
But then when you play as, like, I was, I think I had Tim and Nick's skin.
It's so.
And then in off the grid, Ninja has his own skin.
And so, like, every once in a while, you'll be running around off the grid and you just hear Ninja.
Yeah.
Like, what?
He's over there, guys.
It's kind of trippy.
What?
It's so strange.
But it's a cool little.
I was playing with Ninja as Ninja.
I was playing with him and Tim on off the grid.
And there was one time where I heard one of his voice lines and I thought Tyler was
talking in the Discord and I was like, I was like, did you just say something or was that
in game?
I literally, I could not differentiate.
Were you all three ninja skins?
Yeah, yeah.
So there was four ninjas in one call.
Yeah.
No, we had to be.
Sure.
How do you like that game?
That game's cracked.
Off the grid?
Oh, yeah.
It's like the first BR that came out in so long where there's like an actual skill gap.
It's like.
It's twisted.
Yeah, the movement.
There's skill gap.
Obviously aiming.
It's mainly mouse and key right now.
But like there's just there's such a big skill gap.
It's just like fast fun.
And it's so different from all the other BRs out right now because again, there's just a big skill gap.
Dude, and I were playing with Aiden and Aiden was on Mousinkeye from the start.
aunt and I both tried to play controller dude we were like yo what it's tough it's hard it was hard
to shoot and I thought it was just me at first and then aunt was like dude I'm shooting the wind
right now nah then he was struggling on controller as well yeah then we switched to mouse the keyboard
and it was fine yeah because it is great I played mouse and key the entire time yeah the entire time
and I was frying I dropped 29 one game I dropped 29 25 like dude I was I was fucking farming that that
game is just like you know like in you know the feeling of in war zone when you
you grab a bounty because you just want to find someone, that is all the time in that game.
Yeah, you never have trouble finding people who like fight.
Because if you pick up like an item to extract, you can see who has an item.
And then whoever's extracting an item, you can see where they're extracting it.
There's also bounties.
Like they never have a problem.
And the bounties aren't like war zone where like in the fifth or sixth circle, they just give you like
extra loot when you pick them up.
Like if you're like, if there's three teams left and you pick up a bounty, it'll
still give you like exactly where they're at.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Pretty cool.
Yeah.
Off the grid.
Off the grid was fun, man.
I mean,
I played it for four days.
That shit.
If anybody,
Tyler,
Tyler actually hit me up and he was like,
yo,
if you want to work it in,
like play war zone and then play off the grid.
Like TP was already trying to work it in and I just wasn't on today, but.
Is it like what,
triple Q or like fake four stack?
Trio.
Trio's only trios.
Right now it's only trios in the,
the only game type they have is like research,
like,
like resurgence.
So like if you,
if you die, like you come back
when if you're,
as long as your teammates
still alive.
Okay.
Up to a certain point.
And have you played it at all?
No,
I,
I did a,
but do they so addicted to the vales?
Oh,
you're just a bit of a vowing.
It's kind of concerning,
actually.
The jet pack,
you have a jet pack at all times in that game.
Yeah.
If you jump.
Yeah.
If you jump,
you can fly like across the map.
It's crazy.
Yeah, yeah.
It's kind of like that.
It's like,
it's way more cracked.
than that.
Way more crows.
Dude, look at this.
There's like zip lines that you go up.
Show me,
yeah,
show me a clip.
I mean,
bro,
it is literally insane.
Oh,
it's,
it's,
it's,
the 3P?
And then the side,
you have cyber limbs.
Oh,
look at that shit.
Yeah.
You're across the map,
fam.
You have cyber limbs that like,
give you different abilities.
So like,
right here I have leapers where I can like jump in the air
and just jetpack away if I want to.
Aiden was like,
we got to get this bounty.
Oh,
it's 300 yards away.
And he was like,
wait,
I could just fly there.
And he was there in four seconds.
Wait, Matt, go to the end of the game.
Baryon.
Is this the 29?
Oh, I know.
This is the 25.
Like, bro,
I'm, wait,
play this whole clip,
just to show Brandon,
like,
how cracked it is.
Go back to,
like,
the start of the fight.
What?
Like, dude,
watch this shit.
I pop paralyzer.
I pop invis.
And I just fly at these kids,
bro.
Like,
literally just fly at them.
Whoa.
Like,
I have a shoddy right here.
This guy's mind blown.
Yep,
he's down.
And then I have road,
I'm out.
Yeah,
look how fast.
Look,
yeah,
that's how fast
you spread with those.
17 different abilities.
He's chum shine.
And like right there,
full squad life.
It's so messy.
You're sliding?
You can slide at some.
Yeah.
That was my 25 game.
That looks insane.
25 and no.
And then the last game that I played,
29 and no,
dude,
you can get so crap.
And there's only 60 people
in the lobby.
Is there a response?
Yeah, yeah.
For the first like
Cups.
For the first couple circles, there's response,
and then it goes away.
But it's so cramped.
We were playing without, like, loadouts at first,
and we were like, wait.
And then, and then, uh,
uh, uh, Aiden was like, wait, I think we could build a load out.
And then after that, dude, it was just,
over.
Dude, it was just twisted.
We found, like, uh, you know, the proton, like the,
the marksman rifle.
Yeah, yeah.
Dude, and I were just running that.
And it's a two-tapper.
It's just ping, ping, and they're done.
Yeah, it's just fun.
I, I've never played a, I've never played a third-person game
where you switch.
shoulders like gears of war
style? I wasn't doing that very much but people were telling me to
but I just wasn't doing it. That she was fun. That was too much
tech for me. I couldn't do it too much.
I would rather just fly and shoot. Literally.
Pop and Viz.
Popped invisibility.
Invis and there's
Invis and wallhacks. And paralyzer you get
wallhacks. You get wallhacks and then you get like a little
like bubble that you shoot and it
stuns them and disables all their abilities.
So like you literally get wall hacks and then you shoot this thing at them.
They get stuck in like a field.
They like get shocked and then they don't have abilities.
It's crazy.
It's the chaos, bro.
It's crazy.
It's the chaos too.
Just shuts them off.
I fuck with that.
And it's like easy to get your teammates back because you have so much movement.
Like you can go to a buy really quick.
Like it's it's cracked.
Is that the skill gap in that game is the movement?
It's cracked.
Oh yeah.
Dude in three months it's going to be insane.
It's going to look like superheroes.
It is.
It is going to be.
It is going to be the.
anime fights it's the anime the meme where the guys looking in the sky like this yeah it's that it is
gonna be that for sure i mean it actually if like honestly i'm not like a fan of b r's but i would
actually didn't look too bad yeah actually you have i can see you play br's that much yeah because
i just don't like how like i mean war zone was the first one to turn me out i'm not gonna lie just
because i remember i had a phaser i was grinding it and then it went to shotgun meta remember this in
the original bernan the duf the duf duf mb5 and it was grout or not grout yeah yeah mb5 grow yeah
m4 grou
M4 was like hitting and then.
Then randomly just went to like a freaking shotguns.
Yeah.
And FAL.
Okay,
FAL was not bad because at least see like somewhat more or like less,
I don't know,
cringe compared to the shotgun.
But the shotgun was dead for me.
No,
there's a crazy.
There's like in Warzone right now,
there's crazy shotgun meta.
Like it's like,
it's dual doof doofs basically.
Yeah.
And like if you run into them,
you just insta die.
I'm like,
wait,
you have no chance for a gunfight.
Yeah.
But then I tried Apex for a little bit.
But then I heard it was just like third party like simulator.
Apex is.
third party similar, especially at high ranks.
Like right when you hear a team's fighting, you're like,
let's just go third them. Yeah, let's just go. Let's just go
ape them. Like literally.
It's a game where you like, you can't kill people in one
clip. Like you have to finish your fight in 30 seconds
or another team's on you and you're dead.
Yeah. That's actually unbelievably cringe.
And if you finish your fight and your team got
fooled, just grab his banner and just run.
Run away. Run away. They're coming.
Yeah. Crazy.
But that actually didn't look like that. It looked like a
Multiplayer almost, but in a VR like style.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
And it was like, I mean, I played it four days.
Like I got a little bit better each day.
And by the last day, I was just him.
I was like one V3ing, just running out on my own.
That's like the best type of games though.
You get one dude.
It's so crazy.
Just destroying.
You get one down.
You jump up.
You fly away.
You use your roadrunners.
You grapple up and come back down.
I'm like, what in this to me?
It's like, damn.
I mean, you got the whole bag.
Yeah, you can finesse.
It is very finesseable.
very finesseable.
All right.
Well,
is that,
is that it?
I think that is going to do it for episode 1096 of the Optic podcast.
Almost 200.
