No, you'll love team with in. Yeah. I mean, yeah, I'm sure you will. Look at him. You'll love team with hand. He's like booked it now. Yeah. Yeah, it's gonna be sick.

Well, no, I haven't booked anything. I think you'll get had absolutely horrendously in the first couple weeks. I think it takes, I think really wanted to play, I could text Seth, like a really long tag. And be like, I'm out the shit. You know? Like, no, no, no. I think the first week they're getting tricked shot. I'm just going to be watching your gameplay.

Like, I'm like, I'm like, let's do the shit every time. You probably could do that and I'd probably say yes. Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode number 75 with the Optic Podcast We have the funky bunch How do you say it? What's your intro? You had a really, really good intro. This is such a troll. I know. This might be the trolle. I just realized I'm like, Matt, I was like, no, dude.

What, two fucking... This is a trolley, this is going to be trolle. Two incredibly talented SMGs and two legendarys are. I mean, you're not wrong. You know what I just threw myself in the mat? Like, you're not wrong. That kind of, that kind of was weird. It was like a perfect spunk. Yeah, it was. Are you guys ready to go? Are you guys still flirting over there?

Jesus. Are you guys wording over there? Yeah, look, we are talented SMGs like I said. So you guys finished top four. You guys played with a with a sub. Somehow. Somehow finished. Yeah. I mean, I think again, let's start from the beginning. Obviously, like we need to figure out what's up with Ili. Right? Like every single time that Ily plays, he plays for a couple of hours. And then within those three hours, like the thumb starts bothering him again. It's not an ideal situation. Not idea at all. It's not. It's not ideal. Tell us why. You just played with him.

You sound like you have something more to add. Like you're 27 and you're playing musical chairs. I'm playing musical chairs with 27. I mean, I didn't think it could get much worse. You know? I mean, I'm doing everything I can out there.

You know, I'm getting tired, man. This could be his last year. I'm getting tired and shit, you know? Yeah. Like, you,

I was going, I was going hard this weekend. Like, dude, it was so different playing with Jordan just because, like, he's naturally not Ender's role.

And that's where people fail to realize is that like Jordan and Brandon are both main AARs. So like for me and Aunt the pacing was so weird this weekend. I felt so bad for Ann and Seth because Like it was so weird. I mean at least in respond and S&D we can kind of make it work because I mean we have like good strats to stuff

That's why I feel like what you say what you're saying? I was just thinking with Jordan like the pacing felt incredibly like I felt like Anne and Seth were getting baited Well our S&D was really good with Jordan because S&D like it doesn't really Yeah we just talk about it. Now, okay, disclaimer, okay, because I know people are going to fucking put you. Jordan did an incredible job.

Yeah, yeah. So shout out to Jordan. Thank you. We're just talking about deeper in-game stuff that I, I as a spectator, y'all as non-prose and spectators also don't get this part. So we're getting the insight as to like what really gets thought of at the top 1% of the 1%. Yeah, so listen up. So we went a collective one and, five and respawns in the bracket.

So that means, like I said in our post game interview against Faze, I was like, our respawn is kind of shit, like, just because of natural pacing issues. And we're going to have to, like, rely on our search to get us through. So going to the Thieves series, we don't win a single respawn, which we got one against Faze somehow. We don't want a single respond against thieves, and, you know, that's how it looks. But we six won them in the search. Yeah. So it's like...

So if you got to game five, you think... Jordan, like, I respect... Jordan because he tried to like mold his gameplay to fit our system. It's a hard situation. But at the end of the day, like he's so used to playing the game a certain way that he's not going to be able to switch it in a matter of two days of scrimming, which is what we have.

We had, so we scrimmed one day with Jordan before the event because Ender didn't play. But then Ender was like, okay, I feel better I'm going to play. So then we practiced the first day at the event with Ender and then played our first match. And then second match against Florida, we didn't even get a scrim.

You just had to hop into that? Yeah, we just jumped into it. It's... We literally just jumped into it with Jordan. Is that the other? Yeah. Yeah, it wasn't close. Yeah.

And then we got the scrim before Minnesota and we looked a little bit better and then we got the scrim the next day again before phase and then, you know, we... But unfortunately, I just don't think we had enough time. Yeah. Yeah, what were you saying when you just sit up and talk shit to Minnesota? Dude, I was just blacked out. I remember thinking like one... I think I just, I started talking shit out of pure boredom.

I remember I was like, I mean, like, why not? Let's spice it up a little bit. You know what I mean? And then I got up, I'm 9 and 21 getting talked. And then as soon as they... No, no, the reason I started one and eleven on that map too. The reason I started talking shit though is because after they went up to O, Cole did some like fucking am shit. Yeah, he got up and starts like shit talking like, wait, he has, they didn't even win the map yet.

I'm like, yo, that's Loki fuck up right there. So we went up to him. No, yeah, when they went up to-0. So, okay. And I heard I'm like, what the fuck? He fucked up. He was too used to challenge. Then we went three straight.

I still got shit up, but I'm like, no one else is going to get up on our team and start talking shit. Yeah. So I felt like I had to do it. I was George just get up. George just gets up, you guys, fucking jokes. He just looks in them. Just doesn't say it word. The fuck down.

So I got up, I was like, you guys are fucking terrible. And I'm like, holy shit, why did I just do that? She got literally tucked. And as I sat that and said that, and said that answer, started crying. He's like, bro, 19, EKE. Everyone's got like 35 plus. I'm like, oh, I didn't do anything.

Because at that point, we were like, we weren't trolling, but like, we were just trying to have fun above anything else. Like, if we're going to lose with a sub, like, at least I'm going out having fucking fun. Yeah, that was probably the most fun I've had in a series in a minute. Yeah, because we were...

There was like no pressure on us. The entire time we're laughing. We come back 02 on them in control. It's like, holy shit. Yeah, we're like, what the fuck? And then we beat them in the final response. It was just a fun series because like, we had nothing to lose. My, uh, Maniac is, uh, Major Maniac just got dropped from there, right?

He's the one that says never chalked. I mean like... Yeah. It's Major. Is he on the market? I'll tell you right now. You guys don't beat that roster with Major. We don't. I'm tell you that right now. Major's so good.

Major's too typical. He is. He is up. He's like, all good, all good chalked that last map. I didn't even want to win that. He's a two-o. He's like, I don't give a fuck. I want to throw you all this shit. No, no rounds laws.

He tells Colts, sit the fuck down. Yeah, what? He's the one that's one that replaced Major, right? Yeah. Damn. Yeah, you guys don't beat them with Major. I don't think so either. No, you don't.

He's too fucking typical. He's too goddamn I see Mike. I think they win that with Major. Can't teach things that he brings. I'm not going to lie. You don't. Until you realize that, then. You don't realize what you're doing.

Brian Saints. Keep seeing his little Twitter videos I want to open up Twitter and see him Put it out a video that says Just so everyone knows Major's back he's so fucking typical I love this guy He's our roster

He's the captain That's what I want to fucking see from the movies I'm gonna go Mike You know what Coaches don't often say this But I did I fucked up Yeah he's back I'm gonna rectify my wrongs

Don't know as a spectator They need to give him the keys Who doesn't operate To give him the keys I don't know what they're thinking up there Right so for me like I don't know What I've heard my entire time

that I spent 10 years among some of the best most talented competitors in e-sports is that anybody can shoot straight. It is the intangibles. That's actually something to bring up, which Matt Craig failed to put on the topics. Oh, God damn it, Matt! Apparently, in this

call of duty, accuracy is 28%. The closest to it, I think, was 24% in past odds. So that just goes to show the dynamic is saving careers, quite literally. I'm happy to brought this up, because, as you know, one of the top five people of that time, I don't say top four.

Top three. It seems like it's pretty easy to shoot nowadays. It actually... Dynamic is saving careers. And started careers. I was on standard last year. If I was on dynamic last year the whole year? There's 10 attachments too.

There's like my grandma could fucking run me out. There's 20 attachments per gun and dynamic aim holding your hand. Dude, literally like you can... Obviously you're gonna be okay. You know? It's actually kind of cringe. It's so cring. But I don't know.

Yeah. It seems like a good tweets that are on, right? Yeah, teach their own. I mean, people lie. Numbers don't. You know. They're there. They're there. Numbers no.

You know, earlier today I said it might be his last year pointing at him at the beginning of this podcast just to see what titles came out of that in the future from other people. Oh, shit. He's not. Oh, yeah, say it, say, say, say, that I'm not going to say anything else on the topic. Oh, that means that he is. Right it.

Now they can assume. Make a video. Make some cash. I don't want to get fine. I don't want to get fine. Why were we going to get fine? I fucking love Vanguard. I know, but what?

Oh, my God. Wait, I just got a glimpse into how, how, like, how, how, like, tied down he is. I love it. He's like, yeah, I could be retiring, but I love Vanguard. I just can't because I love it. Yo, what's the, what's the, because I don't know. What do players get fined for swearing? Because, Chris, Crim's been going fucking off.

Didn't he call someone Dickface? Yeah, he called Names was a dickface. He's been going to zero. And even that won't get an ant to break his fucking mold. No. Do you name is if you're watching this? I miss the old you. What the hell?

Damn, shots fired. He threw on a suit one day and never came back. Yeah, I was like, all right, see you later, aunt. I live with the guy. And one day he came in the T-S. He's like, just so we're clear, you guys are all immature. And he never came back. I was like, all right.

So he was serious. So get back. Yo, he's pissed. I missed him off. Hey, man, I'm pissed at him. Anyway, so do people get fine? Because he said, dick-face, he said, fuck. He looked at Rambo and said, fuck you, Rambo for dropping him, apparently.

He said, I want Seth, I want to tear him to shreds. Oh, yeah, no. He said something, he said something on stage before he played us. He said something on stage before we played thieves. And I don't even fucking remember what he said. He's not all there. What he said? Do you remember what he said?

He's not all there. I don't know. He's in another dimension. I'm not going to lie. Multiverse, maybe Dr. James came out and he watched it. As I'm like setting up against thieves, I'm like, I hope we get a fucking respawn. Just give me one reason.

What do you say? Huh? What do you say? What did a crim say? Oh, I don't respond. Seth, Seth, I want you. I don't remember what he said. It wasn't like directed at anyone. No, no, he won.

Congratulations. Congrats. I think that every single pro before going into tournaments like the pro am tournaments like whatever, they should all be like, does this count? And the answer should be unanimous as of yes or no it counts. This one I thought counted because all the teams were there, this amateur teams. It was super...

The event counts, but like, fuck. What cares? Yeah. Guys got like 50 chips. Yeah. Fuck. Yeah. It counts.

It does count. It does count. It counts. Congratulations. With stipulations. With stipulations. Okay. There's an asterisk?

There's not an asterisk, but there's stipulations. There's stipulations. There's context behind it. Um, Dr. Disrespect, he's is WWE. He does. That's a good segue. That's a good segue. Like to disrespect, he says,

WW debut, fan-made intro, and essentially, like, is he? I think, would he fit there? He's too tall. In the WWE?

In the WWE, like, what would his finishing move be? Right? You know, the club, the phone... He puts his glasses on the guy.

And it calls himself two times, still. He has two pairs on. Oh, he gives them one. He's just like, now you're part of the club.

And then, like, it ends. Like, he's like, he's like making another Smith agent from, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a clone.

You know you have no choice. Imagine. like the music that he comes out of, right? Like, it'd be so good. It'd be his Gillette song probably. Nah, it should be like, like the doc, the doc, doc, doc. And it's like, it's like, you know, like synthi.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That would go hard. Yeah. Wait, is he actually doing that? No, no, no, it was just like a fan made it, which is super dope, man. It's weird that Matt hasn't played the video yet. You're just leaving us up to like, whatever.

Yeah. Matt's also on Mars. Matt's also on Mars. Matt's actually so checked right now for some reason. So this is what I don't get, like, how did it, how did they, he's so checked. Oh, I guess you can customize it? They probably did it in the game.

They customized it in game. Actually, there's no way to do it. And then they added this. Oh my god. He should be so sick though. I just lost full. I didn't, I've never seen this. I actually never seen this here.

I'm gonna be honest. He looks short. He does like too short on this one. He's like 6-1. He's mad big. He's like 6-6. He's a tall, tall dude. Shout out MG21 TV.

Game videos. It's like a 9 out of 10. I mean, he goes hard. His fit actually does go hard as five. It's so hard. And it's so cool that it's so cool that The black and red. Yeah, it is.

But the glasses, the stash and the mold. He is just going out of his way to be the freshest. I don't know about those, the Google glasses. Yeah, his finishing move would be so sick. Imagine he jumps on the top row, right? And he, like, gets the guy by the neck. But in mid-air, he puts the glasses on him before he, like, knocks him out. The last thing you see is, like, his vision.

That's crazy. We're good. We get it. We get it. This guy's a superstar. That's sick, though. Wait, this guy's actually diffing. Oh, Paige's back.

Page is back with your coffee, man. Shout out Paige. I drank this and I'm so crack. Guys, no, no this. Okay, Paige was sent to, to, to Starbucks by Matt. She loved Starbucks. She said it's her favorite place in the world. So I literally, I blessed her.

I was like, hey, you should go to your favorite place in the world. You should go to your favorite place. I don't know. She surprised me. Did you get a white mocha? You didn't get a white mocha. Oh. That's a shame.

That's a shame. I looks like a cold. Why does she look at she's fitting it? She's like, drink it. No, no, no. Yeah, because your stance Oh bro, that shit It's fine, it's fine

It's not great, it's fine It's fine Oh shit All right So I mean I guess Again, congrats to Krim Congrats to Dr. D for that Whatever

Yeah, congrats on the win man Yeah Let's not be haters now Let's not be haters now You know what I'm not I'm not fucking hating men We're past that bullpoint We're trolling

What? He brought up He said congrats Yeah, say congrats Yeah, say congrats Yeah, say congrats I'm gonna add, you know, a little jab, but congrats. Like, he's still won.

He did, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like when Summer Heights High, uh, he's like, sorry Ben and then he punches Sorry Ben, he gives him a dead leg. Sorry, oh my God, it's like, you know, it's weird because you're red-headed like Ben. I don't even know what you're talking about. No, Summer High, Summer Heights High? Nope, no, no. With, uh, what's his name?

Panga? What's his name? Oh my God. My God. Jonah Takalua from Tonga. Yeah, okay. That's pretty. All right.

Elon Musk says Mr. Beast can have Twitter if he mysteriously dies. What's up with Elon Musk tweet? Why is he saying that shit? I don't know. That's not real. I don't know. It's kind of like.

Conspiracy theory is. It is. If I die under mysterious circumstances, it's been nice knowing you. That's some like, that's something like he knows they're coming for. That's exactly what that is. That is exactly what that is.

And he's publicizing it through. He's like, Justin gets to get murdered, look into it. Yeah. Because it's not some weird shit. Yeah, it wasn't just a mysterious plane crash. Just now, yeah. Yeah.

See, that is horrifying. It's horrible. I don't know if the okay from him to Mr. Beast was a sarcastic okay. Like, okay, you think I'm kidding? It definitely was. He definitely was. Right? He's not giving him.

You think he was like, okay. He was like, okay. He paid $45 billion. He paid $45 for that. Obviously, obviously he's not. He was just like, I don't know if he was trying to sort of like interact with it to like make it, to make it like even more stamped that this is something that I am thinking is going to happen to me. Yeah, right. And he's telling Mr. B is like, okay, like you think that I'm kidding,

but I'm not, or okay, you can have it, which obviously like obviously doesn't. By the way, Mr. Beast, what a fucking, what a tank. What a tank. How many channels? Well, bro, this guy insane. But I mean, you got to think about it, right? A lot of people don't want Elon Musk to own this thing privately. And if you go to Hutch's Twitter, you can see a whole bunch of scenarios in which he outlines why it would be a bad thing.

If Elon Musk died? Yeah. I believe that. Oh, well, I mean, yeah. I think it'd be horrible if he died. No, if Elon Musk is trying to save humanity, bro. Elon Musk is trying to save humanity, bro. He's on a mission to save humanity. Wait, and it's kind of insane. Like, the more I think about it.

He's living a movie right now. Wait, have you guys seen the new movie with, uh, what's his face? No, no, no. with Sweet Life of Zach and Cody What's their last name? Sprouse with Zach's I don't fucking know which one of them I didn't watch that fucking stupid show

I was watching Kim Possible We're off from Gila must of Sweet Life of Zach and Cody That's right No, because it's a movie It's like a rom-com and they go to Mars So why do you think that we saw it? Because Oh yeah, you're talking about

The space between us Bro, we need Elon bruce No, that movie was really good What about? The Space Between Us, that's the movie with Kelsey Grammer I don't know names like that Good flick

It was great. So what was the name of the face? It's the old guy, the music guy? With the hair, space between us? What is... Space Between Us is the name of the movie? No, no, no, no. Moonshot's that one, but Space Between Us is also a very good movie.

But Moonshot is good? I haven't watched it. Yeah, I liked it, but... Did you buy it or rent it? It's on... Netflix? It's on something. It's on HBO. Oh, cool.

Oh, you're right, actually. I did see it last night. I just finished watching... What you said? I saw that outside. Yeah, it's got that. I just finished watching Winning Time, which is a... the rise of the Lakers,

so the Magic Johnson coming into the league as a rookie and everything, like him and Larry Bird coming in an HBO Plus. It's fucking incredible.

Probably like that. Incredible. The documentary over the Lakers. It's like, the Lakers were the first to introduce cheerleaders. The first one,

they were the first one to introduce courtside tickets in which celebrities, both movie and music, would sit all the way in the front. They started it. That's a,

that's a good. That's a good thing to start. You got to think about the culture of the NBA. And obviously, like, there's, you know, throughout this history has had its dark moments. But I think that the culture within the NBA, like, courtside tickets is like a thing. You know what I'm saying? Like the athletes, they're dating superstars. The athletes.

You know what I'm saying? It's like a thing. It's a whole thing. It's a whole lifestyle. It's like an incredibly awesome entertainment platform, which is sick. It's like, look, it's like tip us for like who's at our game. And then also like tip us for being invited to the game. Yeah.

It's like a two-way street. It's like a two-way tip. Yeah, it's a two-way tip. Corside was the most insane experience I've ever had at a sporting event. Not close. Yeah. It was so lit. What?

Oh, my God. So Liv, Jude and I just went to the latest playoff game that happened here on Sunday. And we sat like, not Nolesbley, but like right underneath the second tier of sweets. It was a good view. It was a good view. It was a good experience. Oh, yeah. I mean, yeah.

If you're on the first, like, fish ball, you're good. I wasn't. I wasn't the second one. I'm sorry. I wasn't. I was on the second one. So it's court side. the first set

suites that's where we were on top of the main on top of the first suites I see you're saying it was a really like 60% of the way up

yeah yeah yeah I was actually like 50% of the way up yeah 50% of the way up it was a good experience it didn't get ruined but yeah I mean there's no Mabs

Mavs 2 too yeah if they steal one in Phoenix imagine a Warriors Mavs listen if it's a Warriors Mav Western Conference rounds we gotta go

I gotta see Steph West to go to NBA finals I'm there oh yo that be sick Yeah, so you have to remember you're also his curse. Shout out of my man, Preston. Have you ever told the story?

Why did you just put this story? No, we actually don't have to know. You should tell the story. Tell a story. It's good. Me and Paige went to a game, like right behind their bench. He had his worst game with his career. He's selling it down, too.

No, don't tell us. It's not that big a deal. It's really not. It's not, tell, tell, tell. I'm probably going to a game, you know what I mean? You're putting this out in the air. Tell the story. Tell the story.

I can have this thought of. He can't say that. He can't be the only one of the planet that knows. planet that knows, okay? Because it's like, if you go two for two and like you make him have another bad game, then it's like, hold on a second, hold on in second. Wait, are you saying that every single time that you've got to go see him, he's had the worst. He went one time. He was like, Steph's the best street at all time. I know. Okay, well, the cat's out of the back. He's like, he comes back. He's all sad. He's like,

he wants five and 24. Imagine Steph sees this. As Steph sees this, he sees you at the game. He's like, holy fuck. No, he lost size for like two seconds. He's like, dude, this kid's here again. I'm like, no, no, I'm not here. I'm really not. I'm putting it up. No shot. It's not worth it. It's one I like, where you're like, Steph! I'm like, no, I was like, no. I'm like, no, this wasn't worth it.

I knew it wasn't. Yeah, so we never talked about that experience. Did we talk about that experience? Like, uh, first, or first row, like you guys on the podcast. Did we talk about the podcast? Yeah, we talked about that. We did? Yeah, podcast.

You're good. Let's just move on. Anyway, so again, you know, yeah, the experience from watching that close is awesome, but at the same time, like, I don't, I don't think it'll ruin, like, the rest of it. Like, if we have, like, if we have, like, like, if we have, like, like, like, We got a suite and it was all like 15, 19 of us. Like I think we still have a really solid time. Yeah, of course.

I mean, it doesn't matter like where you're sitting. I mean... Company that you were. Yeah, we sat all the way in the literal last row of the Mavericks Stadium. We still have fun. Who got your little sick as Hasrow? Shut up, man. What did I get you?

I'm just trying to make a point. We still had fun at the game despite not having the best seats. Oh, man. Still a good time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's about the company you bring and, you know. Yeah, the vibes, man. How drunk you get, too.

Drink responsibly. The new Halo season, whatever that means. Oh, how come you guys have like a four-month gap? Beets me. Beets me. I'm not getting on the game for at least like a month. Really? Just in time for Toronto.

Is there a reason why you're not the one? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's see you have a month-il-Toron. Do you think, let's say, like, you know, competing shape in two weeks? Three weeks? Might be shooting pretty short. I don't know if you could. I'll definitely have my sense by then.

I don't know if you got on Vanda. I'll say that much. My sense will be good, by that. We can show them the spawns, man. I mean. Show me spons once. Hopefully we have Vendrack. Yeah, of course.

But in case we got to prepare, right? Like, as a team, we're going to be like, we got to prepare. We're currently practicing with ProLute to see if that, if that, you know, works out this weekend. But I think that as this is happening, right, for the record, today is May 10th. No? Well, not yet. At this moment, we are not. No, we're not.

We're thinking. That's the plan. Potential. Potential. Well, he's the only set. Well, no, we, like the Jordan thing, just that there's too many hours that didn't work out. And the other thing is like Jordan can't go to Toronto for. Yeah.

And I want to make sure that people, like you said earlier, aren't taking it the wrong way. Like, there's natural pacing issues. Like, I'm not roasting Jordan in anyway. No one is. He's our team. Because our search and destroy looked really fucking good. Like, like really good. And I think if we would have went last map against thieves, we probably would have won that map.

Probably. That's what I'm saying. We just needed one. one respawn and we couldn't get it. Yeah, I got to send that as well. Anyway, so they're gonna be trying some about, but my thought was, and Matt, obviously like you tell me, right? Like he's off for four months and you, obviously you guys make the decision.

I'm just talking for Optic, okay, as to what I, as the Greenwell member would like to see. Get to play in the six, man. I only want to, I only want, the only thing that's enticing me is for one, I get to play with Shotsie. And for two, playing the six? For two, it's just like, it's like a, it's like a win-win. Yeah. You know?

What do we chop liver? Get to play with Shotsie? What about skump and dashy? I've done that before. It's not like that. I've always on another Shotsie. So it's our team last year running back. No, you'll love, you'll love team with Ann.

Yeah. I mean, yeah, I'm sure you will. Look at him. You'll love team with Ann. He's like booked it now. Yeah. Yeah, it's going to be sick. Well, no, I haven't booked anything.

I think you'll get had absolutely horrendously the first couple weeks. I think it takes, I think if I've wanted to play, I could text, like a really long text and be like, I'm out of the shit. You know, like, no, no, I think the first week they're getting trick shots. I'm just going to be watching your game player like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm not. I try to do the shit every time. You probably could do that and I'd probably say yes. He just thought, he's like, all jokes aside. I'll joke to side.

Do you want to do it? Just tell him right now. The way that I was thinking about it is like, obviously he can't prepare for this weekend so you'll play with whoever it is that you decide to try out. We have a match in four days. While we're doing that, while we're doing that, let's prepare for the worst, which is ALE obviously not being able to compete. Can you believe that?

No, we just had the pro a M. We have a league member. in four days and we are unprepared. Yeah. We are not prepared. We're not prepared. I'm telling you, this might be like, I've never really had issues like this in my career, so I'm not going to lie, this one's throwing me for a twirl.

Like, it's not easy. Yeah. Like, and I feel for teams that have had to do this in the past, because like, obviously we want enderback so much. And like, it sucks that, you know, he's going through what he's going through, but like, dude, it is not easy. Yeah. I think it just wasn't as easy just because like obviously like,

Indor to replace, like as a player overall is, I don't know. It's like he's kind of one of a con. Yeah. Yeah, he does it all, man. So what I was saying, and hopefully I can finish what I was saying earlier, this time around, was saying that while you try out whoever it is,

you're trying out who has been playing college duty since the beginning of the year to play for this weekend, you download the game tonight. And you start, you start tuning in. Welcome back. Just in case. Listen, just in case.

Just watch a mini-man. for 10 minutes. I feel like, yeah. I mean, I've watched this game enough. It's, I mean, it's,

there's nothing special about this guy. What I am saying is, what I am saying is let's prepare for the worst and think about it, right?

Like you do the main keys. And you got to think about it from this perspective the way that I was looking at it in the way that I was pitching it, okay? Who's gonna flex? Hold on.

As I was, as I was finishing, hold on. Either one of you with a sub, I mean, Jesus. Jesus. I'll black out. I could black out.

I could black out. I could black out. Have you seen him lockout. I could jet dash. I was with you up until he said Valo. He's not going in first and Valo. Why?

That's Cap. That's cat with the sniper. If someone pull up my first bloods, Matt he could probably edit it. First buds of last act. Op main, op crutch. Not oping. Anyway,

to finish it up. God damn it. To finish it up, right? Matt actually was about to go look for it. Yeah, he should. And then he exited out. Let him finish guys. Yeah, let him.

He's like, let him finish because he's about to be tip. You're not going to be playing with formal, like the, you know, where he's like, yeah, you know what the fuck this guy. game I'm done. Oh, that's true. You don't get the trolley formal. No, you get, you get, you get fucking locked formal who has been fucking turning up in Halo and has found a new found passion for competitiveness.

And he gets to go and redo his, you know, his team gets to play with Shotsie, who you've always wanted to play with. Do you want to play Shotsie. So you know he's got a fucking super try. He's not going to go in there and just be like, I got you in, Pheness, Phenis, I'm on the way. That's right. I know you're finessing.

I know you're going to make him tweak. No, I can't do that. Because what I'm really going to say is. Unlock him. You might unlock him. Shotsi gets to play with formal. It's such a good. You know what I mean?

Like that's the other thing. I'll be in the background. Just like we're like half halo half Kahn. I'll be just getting all the other benefits, all the words things. We're like the Power Rangers. You're like the Power Rangers. We all combine half Halo, half Kod, we all this mix and match and a little. Oh my God.

A pool of separate skills that we all have learned. And you're nonstop calming. S tier comp. I'm like, holy shit. I'm like, you and you and you and are just there in the back just running the hill like, oh my God. You're like Siri giving me directions on how to get somewhere. But what if we win the event?

I mean, that'd be fucking... It's in the cards. You know what I mean? It's you. That would be terrible. Then you get to walk away saying Yeah. Cigart post. And you're like, oh my God, Orlando. And you're like, oh my God, Orlando. He's going back. He's just switching everything. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, we're in the six, too.

You know what I mean? Like, maybe Drizzie's like, saw that. He's like, that's so typical. Maybe one wants to hang out with us. Oh, shit. Possibility. It's in the cards. Actually, not that far off. It's a week in there, it's an opportunity. That's all that's all I wanted to say on that regard as to how I was thinking as a team owner looking at the fact that we don't want ALE to continue to try to play, right? Because he every single time we do it. We want it to like fully rest.

And like you're extending how long your healing process is going to be. Get it taken care of now and sacrifice whatever weeks are going to be there. Right? Because even then, like we have to take into consideration that like let's say he takes two weeks. Like when is Toronto? How many weeks from now? A month? Three weeks from now?

Toronto's three weeks from? Yeah. We have we have weeks, week, week. And then Toronto. This guy is stressing out, dog. Yeah, I am. I'm fucking tweaking. We have week of matches, week of matches, week of matches, and then the next week of Toronto.

I think he's kind of over tweaking right now. I think he's over tweaking. I will say, I don't think that. Am I? I don't think that I'm going to be able to play in Toronto, man. I don't think he's going to heal in time. I mean, he should have popped that shit two to four weeks ago. It's different.

He's different because, you should. Yeah, no, trust me. I mean, obviously, like trust. I think he's going to be fine. But I was just making that for the podcast title. Am I tweaking right now? Yeah. Yeah, I have to.

You have to. In every scenario in light, you have to think of both sides. I'm like, yeah, I guess I could fly. You're like, wait a second. If we win, trust me, you'll zap. Can you imagine Twitter? Don't worry about the gunny aspect. Just want to.

Don't get a tip that, man. My God. Mills, can you imagine your viewership tonight when you said, hey, I might have to play in Toronto. I have to get good at college here today. You've ended up. Stream is live. This podcast is live. You're just grinding ranked all night.

Oh my God. I hope I don't get that. What do you say where the attachments were running in? Yeah, it's gun sucks. Yeah, well, are these streaks good? I'm like, oh my God, you're so on mine. All right, so you two, wait, so did we end up knowing why there's a four-month gap? Yeah, three, four, three is...

Or is it because Destiny wants you to play in Toronto? Ooh. Because think about it, in all the Eastport... It could be a fate win. It was like, it was meant to be that you always could be a fate win. It could be a fate win. Wait a second, wait a second. It could be a fain.

I'm telling you, this two. too many things lining up in order to do that. There are a lot of things lining up. That's actually kind of crazy you're thinking about. Lining up too perfect. Lots to think about. Lots to think about. All right.

As we go towards the end of this podcast, I wanted to touch a little bit on a very cool feature that YouTube is doing, YouTube streaming, which is hosting, which is something that Twitter already had. But again, this is still YouTube taking their time in implementing all of the features that Twitch has at their own pacing.

Look, once Foist departed from YouTube, I didn't know if the company was, just the company as a whole, not just YouTube, but Google as a whole was going to be able to stand on its own feet. Okay. He was that guy around. He was that guy, man. He's typical of his fives. You know what's that? He was holding YouTube on his shoulders.

You know what I'm saying? By himself. Damn. So, yeah. So that's pretty cool that they're doing that. What is this number of people playing Collal Duty Mobile almost matches warsome players on console plus PC? Hit on that. I want to see these numbers, Matt.

I want to see these fucking crazy numbers. Is ConMobil crazy or no trip? I don't know. I don't know. I'm like, where the numbers, Matt? If you think about that? If you think about that? What do you say?

He's like on the beat bag, you hit the back. You can just be like, you can be on a love sign. Just Cheetos in. Yeah, if you think about it, everyone has a phone. Yeah, everyone has a phone. Is it free to download? Everyone has a phone. Everybody has a phone.

Everybody has a phone. It's free to play. It's free to play. It's free to play. It's free to play. are you buy weapons and you buy skins. Like how bored you have to be to download Codmobil, not that board.

No. I've played it for you. Have you played it before? No. Have you played it before? No. I could. Yeah, I've played it before.

Yeah, I mean, and I'm not talking about, just like, what, you're taking the shit. I played it. You've played Cod Mobile while taking it. When it first came out, I ended up saying in the finals. No. I was looting war zones.

I was playing with one hand, I was playing on back. You could be in back. Putting on plates? You. I haven't played war zone, but I did play multiplayer. That's funny. You could be mid-shy.

Wait, where the numbers, Matt. You can be the fucking numbers. You can be in the finals, literally mid-shed. And then no one would go. They're on stage. They're on stage. But you could take the shit and still participate. Well, you could do the same thing with traditional call

doing controller. No, you're literally sitting. You could lobby up on the monitor with you. Would you make games games games in the bathroom with a long-ass extension? With the monitor? With the internet? Oh, from that. perspective, I see what you're saying.

Like, I can be on the Wi-Fi. I'm still in the finals. You're in the back, game is starting. I'm like, I'm like, good to go. Can you play with that? I'm like, I need TP. One's in the back by. Can you play mobile?

Can you play mobile Call of Duty with a bone, with a backbone that, uh, courage owns? Is that the scuff? Is that like an attachment? Yeah, it's an attachment. Like it comes on both sides. It's owned by Mr. Bees. The scuff for them. But I know the courage has ownership in it too.

So go buy one. Make my, make some money for courage. I know he needs it. Wait. So if you're on like on iPhone 12. Do you have a big advantage than someone on iPhone 8? You have a bigger screen. He wants two years.

There it is. You're playing on a 22-inch view, Sonic. Like a 20-80-TI versus 10-80-T-I. Yeah, look at that thing. It's fucking vibey. I actually... There's one. They sent us a bunch.

There's like three up there. No, I think I saw someone playing with that on the plane yesterday. Yeah. If I could play... And I was fucking all up in his shit. I was like, what you're playing? Wait, some random dude? Yeah, he's sitting next to me.

What if you had, like, sets in-game character? character on yeah and it was you and then he turns to you and he's like yo you know we should hit up our boy what's his name what's his name at um the the guy that got his skin oh no Greg what's it Greg mobile guy right the mobile guy it was a mobile guy it's a mobile color duty guy he had a skin and game we talked about it's it yeah it is fair maybe fair right we should hit them up and see like yo wait for like they don't know do they get sales for that you think they have to right yeah fuck yeah well at least a or at least a one time it's like him in game. It must be nice.

He's got to get a royalty or something. Yeah, that must be right. Yeah. They literally flew them out and put them in that. Those little like, you know those green dots they put on Marvel people when they film? Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's what they put on him. Is this checkoutable? You get it.

No, you're good. Whatever makes you more comfortable. So yeah, I don't know. That's insane though. I want to be clear or something. It's check out. Everyone here respects the Caldry mobile community. Oh, yeah, for sure.

Yeah. We're just, we're just making jokes. We do respect. There's a lot of people that play ConMobil. Yeah, yeah. I just want to make it clear because people, I swear to like, there's no way people took that disrespectfully. No, no, no, no.

You can play the game while taking a shit. Some people, some people would. It's just facts. It's honestly, it's literally factual. If anything, it's a plus. Yeah, it's, it's convenient. We're talking out of jealousy, if anything. It's convenient.

It's good. It's Shabbats like while, like, hey look, one of us is in the game. And four of us aren't. And four of us are not. And I've been playing it since Call of Duty, too, okay? Blood sweat and tears into this thing. They're playing fire, I'm playing.

If one of Miami happens, that's, that's, that's really, really dope. F1 Miami happened. I got boke. So I went to a place of a boat for it. They got high rise in scrapyard. Meanwhile, I'm on Berlin. Yeah.

Berlin's not that bad. You should say like Tuscan. I said both. Berlin's a good man. Berlin's good and Tuscan is good. I like that matter of except for Desert Siege. Oh yeah. That map looks like shit.

Desert Siege? I like Desert Sege for S&D. Because he snipes. Do you love it? You love it? You can't see characters on it. They all blend the fuck in. You can't see it.

But somebody with my eyesight. Look, I wasn't a good sniper because of my aim. Listen, I love everything. I love Vanguard too. 2020 Vision. Yeah. 2020 Vision and 2022. You know what I mean?

I like that. EA and FIFA and the partnership. Okay. Give me more on that. That is fucking crazy. What? How? Why would EA get rid of FIFA?

When FIFA is all about digital cards and NFTs is EA not thinking about Web 3 at all? Despite the name change, it would be the DNA that the FIFA, EA Sports FC. What's Web 3? Yeah, what the fuck is Web 3? Okay, so Web 1. Oh, here we get. We really quickly. We do this once every progress.

Website. Website one was the information age of the Internet. Originally, it was an encyclopedia. You went there to find yellow pages to see whose numbers where into that. You went there. Web 2. Web 2 social media, entertainment. You know what I mean?

Think about the amount of people that have been able to make a living off of that. Web 3 is going to be an advancement of each iteration of that. So it's going to be better. And it's going to be more interactive. Interactive. We're talking AR. Metaverse. We're talking metaverse.

Was Web 2 a good or bad thing for the world? Good thing. Good thing. Great thing. The age of the information, Seth. The information. Web 1 was information. Web 2.

was so fucking user information, user created information which obviously has its, it's holes. Obviously, you, we can get into the Russians trying to infiltrate our election. Okay, anyways.

Think about the difference between like... That's what I was saying from, user created information is what I was going, where I was going. Think about like AOL. Remember being on like AIM? Oh, I remember that day? And then look at it now.

It's like, you can video chat. It's like the amount of like steps we've made like in like progression is crazy. So think about how much better it's going to be for web three. That's kind of crazy you think about it. The way that I explained it in a, in a, in a, uh, in a, uh, NFT podcast. I think web two was only a good thing.

No, obviously everything has as bads for sure, but the good outweighed the bad in my opinion. You know what I mean? Now, now, now you can, now if you have a big enough following and you believe in something so much that you can say, guys, please go to the website that I've listed down below, click on it, put your name on it. It fills out the information. Ask your senator to legalize marijuana.

You know what I'm saying? That is the sort of influence that you have in this, in this day and age. People like us, people like me specifically, right? A Texas-born immigrant because I spent the majority of my childhood in Mexico, get to come here and without any college education make a life for himself that he would have never imagined. Okay, fair enough. Web 3, now we're talking something else, but what I was saying originally, where I was going with that is that imagine if the weapon that, Imagine if this M40A rifle that I used with a digital camo in Call Duty 4, I could use from Call Duty all the way through every single iteration of Call Duty all the way to today.

And I could transfer that to you or I can transfer that to anyone. That NFT is now valuable, right? Because you pay $10 for a new CDL skin, right? That's nothing tangible about it. You're using it only to use it in the Call of Duty Metaverse. So that's what I'm saying. And imagine if once I sold this and it had, like call it a $10,000 price. for this digital thing that some dude that's a fan of mine for whatever reason is now using it

and then he's like, I die tragically fighting a bear. Okay. But then he's like, yo, I got this hex thing. I'm strapped for cash bid for it. Okay, somebody sells, he sells it for a million dollars. I get 10% of that because that's in the contract going forward. And my family gets that obviously the estate. But then the other guy that bought it for a million sells it for 10.

I still get 10% of that 10 always and forever. That's like, it's good for creators. It's a good thing. Yeah, you kind of lost me at the end there, but it's a good thing. Yeah. Definitely good thing. I don't understand that stuff.

So, formal's hat, right? Very popular. I just don't. I don't understand that. Formal's hat, very popular. Bought it for 20. He sells it to me 400 because it's formal says autographed. Okay, I'm like, I have this collectible right here.

He and I had a contract that if I sell it again, I'm going to pay him 10% of the sale. So I sell it to you because you're a bigger formal fan and you're going to give me $1,000. I give it to you. I get the thousand. I give him 10% of that thousand. I'm making shit. no matter what.

Yeah. And then you sell it for 20 million. You get 10%. I still get 10%. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. So the originator. That's the beauty of the about this.

Yeah, I've been thinking about making like an Amazon business or some shit. So like I don't even know. TikTok got you. I got you. Let's make one. I study all it. We should make it, but we should do it on a video so that people can learn from it.

Let's make one. Yeah. So again, I have to read on this EA FIFA stuff on my own guy. I don't want to go through it right now. But this is, this sounds so weird of a move. If anything like EA should have acquired.

I feel like those two go hand in hand. Yeah. Kind of need each other, don't they? I'm going to be honest, I thought forever and always that FIFA was owned by EA. Me too. So, like, what is FIFA going to be made by now? Yeah, I don't know. Who makes that game?

Like, Ubisoft? No, EA. EA makes it? Yeah, EA makes it? Yeah, so what are they going to do? FIFA? Pet up 2K. Some great songs came from FIFA.

Yeah, they're going to start. They have good, like, menu songs. If you go to the NBA, listen, it's as simple as this, right? FIFA said, all right, this video game is no longer, you can no longer use FIFA, the football association. Now they go to every single soccer team owner and they say hey everybody pull in $1 billion, let's create a

developer that will create FIFA and we'll just make the money back super quick because people are buying packs, people are buying whatever. Are they able to sell those like what you get have a pack? Can you sell that to someone? That I don't know. Can you make account? Like Castro our friend Castro. Yes, you can just sell your account if you have skins. Oh, that's what people do nowadays? I mean you can but...

Terms of services you cannot. The steam doesn't allow it anymore, right? Yeah. Steam trades. But imagine, right? I'm going to jail. No, but the reason that you can is because they can't get paid. But if it's Activision, and Activision is making money on the $2 that I spent on my rifle in Call 3,4,

and every single time that I've sold it, they're making their 10%. They want to give a fuck. Yeah. They want that economy to be in there. Okay. So, interesting. Yeah. Dude, do you think about that job that Fuis had at Google.

It wasn't just a job. He was the head of gaming and AR. VR VR and he left Google to go where Polygon Polygon studios what is that it's web 3 Like next gen of shit next gen of shit web 3 or what's it called polygon? Yeah Polygon so it's like a new Google well Polygon is Polygon and then the polygon is Polygon is And he's a CEO of that. Oh wow. Yeah he's like he's like again. Yeah Doing his thing. So shout out to my boy. Yeah, he gets some like optic shit in there for his It's got some like off he will. He knows he knows he knows he knows where he came from that boy never forgets. All right, everybody, that's going to do for this episode of the podcast, episode

number 75. We appreciate you guys stopping by. We'll see you guys next time. Yeah. Bye-d-d-d-dos.
