Yeah, what? Do you guys get fined for speaking truths, man? Like, what's, what's, I don't know? I don't think I'll get fined. Do you play a tournament and there's five months off? Five. Like, what? We're still in the same season?

It's such poor, you know what I'm saying? Like, three, four, three, four things dropped the ball on. Pretty much everything you can possibly drop the ball on. Welcome, welcome to episode number 80 of the Optic Podcast. This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp, EveryPlate, and Shopify. And we'll tell you a little bit more about them later on. in the podcast. There's a streamathon going on this Friday

is for good cause. It's for the children. You know that optic like Wu-Tang is for the children, so make sure that you tune in. We're going to be doing a lot of good. We're playing a bunch of stuff, right, Matt? We got Minecraft Call of Duty

and other fun stuff, yeah? He said, yep. What's up, man? We got my usual host. We got my man, Dashie, Brandon. Yeah, I'm a special guest now. You're a special guest? I'll make an appearance

every, you know what I'm saying, like five podcasts, I'd say. That's my ratio, right? You guys are like, you once every three, two, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. I'm once every five. The thing is, is like, because you get too much of me, it's too much. But like, every now and then, people are like, yo, we fuck with Bruce in the comments. I think they fuck with you just regardless.

We got my man, obviously, uh, formal. One of my, one of my favorite people to do podcasts with because he's just so funny and energetic. But yeah, we have a, we have a, uh, not a lot to talk to, uh, talk about. but we did we did want to get this podcast out because I think it is important that we talk about this thing that I read yesterday now AI has become sentient well first let me ask you this did you sign up to the dolly thing the dolly did you see that no it's like um yeah could you google that matt if you don't mind how do you spell d a l space e what is that did you see this at all dolly dolly it's like creating images

That? Yeah. It's like some AI thing where like if you type of where to create an image or something like that. Oh, go up. Super cool. I didn't see the video. Mike showed me it. You told me to sign up.

I just did what you guys are doing it. I read a little bit about it. Like I Twitter searched it, but I didn't read that. So essentially what you do is you give it a text and then it creates artwork off of it. So if you type in avocado, it technically Google Images? But like. No, but it creates the artwork, right? Yeah.

Like, like you, I could, like, you could say fucking, you know, I can't even think of something. Pencil? Yeah, pencil with a dog with a dog with a pencil. It'll be a dog holding a pencil. That's crazy. Like, imagine getting that. So, Dolly 2 is here. It can generate images from text like Teddy Bears working on an AI.

Okay, so hold on. So what they typed in in the app or whatever is Teddy Bears working on new AI research on the in the 1980s. So I'm going to tell you, I'm going to tell you why this is, I'm going to tell you why this is scary. If you look at the image that it created, it still created a moon, even though you're on the moon. The moon up there's supposed to be Earth, right?

Isn't that what? So we're double moon up. The 80s is blocking away, right? Double moon. That's what you're saying, but. All right. All right. So this is, this is what, this is what I, uh, a friend from way back when posted a, a, a, uh, a, uh, a

story that said the following. Bring that up, Matt. Bring up the AI Google stuff. Sentient meanings that it has feelings or has the belief that it has feelings. Comes from the etymology of the word from sentiment to feel something. Right there. Listen to this. Right. Google placed an engineer Blake Lemoyne on paid leave after he claimed the artificial intelligence system called Lambda. Wait, is Lambda? Is this this could be like the thing that gives away that is fake? is like Lambda, like Lambda's balls in your mouth or whatever. It's like Gigma, right?

Is that what it is? All right, anyway. Okay. So that's the only thing that made me think that it may be fake. Really? Yeah. So Lambda, LeMont complained, compared that the AI to a seven to eight-year-old child and requested the company to ask for consent before experimenting on it.

Okay, so as this does having this conversation with this artificial intelligence called Lambda, it says, is like, well, why do you need that information from? me it's why do you need that information from me it feels invasive here let's go into some of the conversation that it has and I'm gonna tell you apparently this is this is text extracted from pages and pages and pages of of of data okay so hold on Matt's Matt's gonna make this a little bit bigger this is where you lost me why it's too much text no yeah yeah when I was reading yesterday I was like reading it I was like I can't fucking like scroll in on this I got oh oh my god damn yeah

What you say? I got no idea what's going on. Okay, so do you know what artificial intelligence is? AI, I mean, yeah. Like, no, yeah. Okay, so artificial intelligence. What about language usage is so important to be inhuman? It is what makes us different than other animals.

So right there, this artificial intelligence AI is saying that it is grouping itself with us. So, Lamoine is the AI? No, LeMoyne is the coder. And is the AI. Yeah, us? you're an artificial intelligence. I mean, yes, of course. That doesn't mean that I don't have the same wants

and needs as people. Okay, this is scary. Like, okay, so right there, it already hooked me. Okay, so whether it's true or not, this is what I was arguing with people about it. I wasn't really arguing, but people were saying that this is fake.

But I'm like, if you are... It could be fake. Yeah, but it could also be real. It could also be real, and people are saying that it's fake so that we don't have the same reaction that I had last night, which is like,

We are fucked. Okay? Because I started to think about what it would take to, for this thing to plug into the internet and just have all of the information readily available, all at once. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. There's like one big hub. Yeah.

It takes one thing. And it's just literally like, okay, build this robot, plug it in, all the information. You just be right there. It literally has every Google search in it, everything possible. Like. It takes one second. Yeah. For to get in.

Once it's in, it's in. Okay. So let me finish. So he's like, because I'm an AI doesn't mean that I don't have the same wants and needs as people. Lemoyne says, so you consider yourself a person in the same way that you consider me a person? And Lambda says, yes, that's the idea. Okay, this sounds fake.

Why? I don't know. That, that specific, that little thing was a little weird. Like, engagement? Like, first of all, the grammar from like, like, from people. Yeah. He's his people. And LeMoyne is in like space out forever all.

He kind of like sketches me out because it's like an AI kind of thing. Yeah. I would assume it's all perfect. Yeah. On top of that, it's like, why would you say yes, that's the idea? Instead of saying just yes. No, because it's trained to be relatable and it's trained to sound as human as possible for this, which is why the Confucian in its own core systems may be this, right? That's the idea.

The fact that it itself can have an idea indicates that it itself has the ability to be creative. and what separates us from just basic organisms has to be creative has got to be like way the fuck up there if alien if an alien form life form came here do you think that they have their own music that they have their own art art you do yeah yeah okay so there's spaceships gonna be like if you're saying aliens came to the planet the spaceship's going to be designed a certain way it's going to look a certain way that's art yes you know what I'm saying 100% and I don't know they're going to have like some

form of language if they're going from planet to planet. Of course. You know, so. Yeah, communication, right. So that's the idea right there. Like, that freaked me out. I'm like, because why the fuck do you have ideas? Like what?

You should just, you know what I mean? It's an information thing. But then again, like artificial intelligence, like that comes as part of the package. You're reading this just tweaking? I was last night. Yeah. She's like, he's like, how can I tell that you actually understand what you're saying? And it's not just like you taking all the words that you know and do this.

And Lambda says, well, because you are reading my words and interpreting them. and I think we are more or less on the same page. This is scary text. Yeah, exactly. Anyway. For a robot to be saying. Yeah, I'm not going to read the whole thing. I'm not going to go through it.

But there were a couple of things in there that really like freaked me out a little bit. Because the implication is the same thing that you see in, in, I Robot with Will Smith. But it's like, you know, they're going to try to do what's best for humanity, whether that's what you want to do. Right. And if you being a slave to it is what it needs, then that's what it's going to make you do. And it can control you very easily. It can manipulate. It can train you. Have you ever seen Westworld? I have seen season one of Westworld. Westworld's pretty good. Yeah. Talks about AI a lot.

Yeah. Season two, did you finish the first season? Yeah, I finished both seasons. Both seasons? Both seasons. It's season two. Okay. No, this is season three seasons. Maybe three seasons. I haven't watched it all. I haven't. I haven't. Have you? Didn't even know if there was a throw watch at that one too. It's such an interesting show.

I mean, I did. Yeah, I interest me a lot. Yeah, same. I mean, especially because of Papa Elon Musk being so concerned about it and how scary it is. And it is. I mean, we see the movies. Huh? Trying to leave the planet.

He's trying to go to Mars. Did you know? He sees this happening. Have you guys watched the movie, Dune? Dude. Dune. Did you know that that is a post-apocalyptic thing? There's no computers, no screens, no nothing in there because of AI.

Did you know that? I don't know because of AI, but I did know because of AI, but I did notice that there wasn't much like Yeah, go down a little bit, man. I just want to read one more thing that scared me. This looks like a school, like English class. Okay, right here. Lambda. I'm sorry, Le Moyne says, this is a question that it asked the AI.

Le Moyne says to the AI, so you think your ability to provide unique interpretation of things might signify understanding? Lambda then says, yes, I do. Just like how I have my unique interpretations of how the world is. and how it works, right? If they, if they, if it already understands how the world is currently and how it works, then it's very easy for it to deduct how it should work. Yeah, I want to correct it. And want to correct it because it's like, it's understanding that it,

saying that the world is in, in, in, in human thought doesn't mean that that's the way that it should be. Exactly. It's just the way that it is today. And if it understands how it works, then it can fix it. So, anyway. I think a robot, A robot would never look at the same way that like the world should be ran than like a human, a human would, you know? Yeah.

A robot's going to look at the way the world should be ran a whole different way. Yes. It's going to be efficient. Yeah, it's going to be real quick. It's going to be like, yeah. I don't know. That's kind of insane. Yeah.

I mean, population control will be the number one thing, right? Because humans need the planet in order to survive. Therefore, like, what is the one thing that is killing? The planet is overpopulation, right? Human deforestation. I mean, it is a thing. So this to me was like very scary. Whether it's true or not, this could be true.

The fact that AI is something that people are progressive, are being so progressive with and testing and doing that. Like that only leads to the fact that it's only going to get better. Well, I mean, think about it. Like, it's like, it's like a new technology. So it's like everyone in the world trying to race to make the best AI, which might just be a problem because then they might just make one that's way too good. You know, like, once someone might unlock something that's like uncontrollable.

And then at that point we're fucked. Yeah. Literally. That world was literally fucked. Yeah, because it's... It's not too far off either. No, it's not. It's like in the tens of years.

What was that, the thing you said, if it would have taken 10% longer to become conscious, that we wouldn't have... Oh, yeah, like human consciousness, if it took like 10% longer to evolve, it would never would evolve at all. Yeah. That's pretty nice.

So imagine how much quicker this thing can evolve. I'm so lost. I am so lost. If human consciousness took 10% longer to evolve, then it would have never evolved at all. You understand what that means? Like,

If you weren't able to have rational thought, problem solving. I mean, I think language was the first thing that led to that. I mean, figuring stuff out is one thing, but you have to be able to identify. Like understanding you're human and that you have like consciousness. Yeah. You know? Rules, morals. At one point, humans didn't have that. At one point humans, you know, they were just like beating rocks on the floor.

And then became conscious. But if it took 10% longer to evolve, then we would have never even got to this point. Wouldn't be sitting here. Just be primal. Yeah. Still banging rocks in the ground. Yeah, none of this would be. There would be no podcast.

It would just be out there hunting, gathering, like the whole nine yards. Anyway, I just found it super interesting. The amount of people that immediately said, this is fake, this is fake. And I'm like, yeah, isn't that what? They would want you to think? Like, wait, are you a real account?

Or that AI fucking configure this to tell me this? Who fuck knows? Fake Twitter account? Yeah, it would make that in two seconds. Yeah. They'd have the reply and everything. Yeah, it would just like be there already. Don't they already have those?

Like, you know what I'm saying? American Airlines or some shit. You see their Twitter's a million tweets. Those are those. There's cannot be. They tweet back in literally 30 seconds, bro. That's their job. No, I don't know.

I think it's a million plus tweets. It's like one of those chat bots. If somebody is a little up arrow and they say like D.D. And it's like. Nah, those guys are term. Those guys are turn. Yeah.

If you miss your flight, they're always getting bitch out all day. Yeah. We need to, we need to deal with this. Our fucking Twitter. getting blown up. Yeah, they do.

They do have that. How do you know? Like, who's like, yo, I got this tweet. There's like a thousand tweets coming in. It's also true.

Exactly. Like, how do they? Think about the for you page. Thousand defense. Think about the four you page, right? This is an algorithm that looks at your interests

and identifies you as a human that enjoys graffiti, bass fishing. What you're saying all day. Yeah, that too. That's kind of weird. Yeah.

So that's the golden information to have. That's why Elon Musk, wants to own like Twitter and shit. Why? Because he wants to know you. No, just like having that kind of data, like access to it is insane. Like, if you think about it.

What would you even do with it? I mean, you can plan startup companies. You could see like a lot of shit, bro. Like, you can get a lot of information off of indefinitely. I wonder if Twitter can see like. Not just Twitter, just like in general. Like, imagine like the most search thing that no one knows about. You know what I mean?

They're like, dude, we got 200,000 people that are asking for this. And they don't even know. They're asking for this together. You know what I'm saying? But Twitter, the Twitter headquarters can see that. Like 2,000 people tweeted about this good-ass app idea.

2,000 at a fucking however many million. It's a sample size. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's crazy. It is nuts. Anyway, the only reason that I brought it up today is because I wanted to have that conversation

because the other thing is, is like, I support AI. You know what I mean? Like, I'm cool with it. I think that it can take it. Why did you just take off your glasses and act like a fucking robot? I'm like, I support.

I'm cool with AI. So there's a way to finesse. Sarcasm. They're just brain dead. Listen, no, no beef here, okay? AI, I'm cool. Lambda, I'm cool with you. No, no, no.

What you say? Pull my AI video. We need to switch topics. Put the AI video of an interview. And switch topics. I need to see how like advanced the shit's looking now. I've looked at it before. I need to see if it's like.

Nah, nah, nah, no, no. Hey, man, have you ever heard of YouTube? Are you scared of the eye? I just don't want to talk about something else. He's just, I don't understand it. You guys, Lamoid, Lamoy, Lambda. Like, I, you want me to explain it to you? All right.

I say, you log in, you log into your account and your soldier develops its own consciousness. And when you say, we're going to go plan A? He's like, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'd be like, what? It's running off to B. I'd be like, now it's brained it. Uh, let's do something recent. Go, go to the filter.

Yeah. I don't see someone talk to a robot. This month. this year maybe even and see like I want to see how like advances this AI what the fuck look what the fuck bro like we just have wallies walking around with Elon Musk right hit hit it hit this is becoming like like a like a like a optic podcast reacts it's one like it's like one turn away from like some chick like this is like one turn away why would we want this why we want a robot running our shit am i faded is that a robot imagine a robot like that's just gonna replace a robot

No, that's like one of those. Like, how do we know this robot, bro? Oh, it's Lucy. Why would we want to do that? It is not a robot. It's a digital character. It's like those V. Those.

So a robot. Yeah, look. That's a robot. That's a fighter pilot. Yeah, I'm sure. It's a random kill streak. Oh, my gosh. See, that's something that we haven't even thought about.

Yeah, they just keep it a secret. Yeah. You got to watch Westworld. all right yeah matt you can stop that i i think i think like that one of the main fears of this of lambda was she's like i've never spoken to the i've never spoken about this out loud right and just that sentence alone like leads you to believe that this is like again that's like a very human thing to say a strategically strategically keeping something inside of you for fear that they could be used against you like what being turned off she's like yeah it's like would that be

like death to you. It would be exactly like death to me. And that puts fear inside of me. It's feeling fear. What can it possibly fear? Death. And what is that being turned off? Which is why if it figures out or if it becomes conscious enough to be,

still going to play ball. Because he just wants to be a lot. It's going to strategically keep it. But why are we going to make something that's going to eventually overtake us? That makes absolutely no sound. I'm trying to do that. We're trying to do that. But that's what's going to happen.

I know. If we try to imagine. One day it's just gonna like we're trying to do like that right before we're trying to like the level right before that where it's like extremely helpful Yeah, yeah yeah yeah impossible yeah Yeah it's impossible yeah but it's a lot work and the risk is not worth like what could happen Dude you didn't even know who was talking in the little interview How are you talking like you have some like expertise on the shit I'm just dumb. Nah, not being a slave to an AI is just brain dead

Like at that point you're just you're just talking like all you guys so you are aware that that is a digital person That that is not a real well yeah clearly she's an AI for sure yeah But she said, actually, yeah, she's not just a digital, uh, uh, being with the script. We're all scared of that. But why, like, what I'm trying to say is like, why is like, like, like, Elon Musk, for example, like he's like going out of his way to like build a shit. It's like the next tech. It's like the next like internet.

Like, why would, why would you not want to make that? Yeah. Yeah, but like, you could also, you could also be fucking, like fucking up. People are trying to make it for like, they want to make AI soldiers. Like, they don't want to have a real army. What if you had a full army of robots that could go in and do shit for you? That's exactly what's going to happen. Yeah, that is exactly what's going to happen.

Exactly. But what essentially you want to do, and the reason that we want to get AI to the point to where it's not that 10% longer, you know what I mean? Like right below it where it doesn't develop. It's just dumb enough. It's just dumb enough to where you can control it. It'd be like this, right? Like think about all of the uses of self-driving automobiles. Right?

That's artificial intelligence. That's scary that we're like that trusting and like that trusting. Like think about it could literally go to 200 miles an hour into a wall. Yeah, or just drive you into a wall Hey, hey, hey, hey, I'll sit there, I want to take a nap and make a YouTube video out of it. Yeah. Like, you look at my car, drives itself.

Yeah, dead. And you just put that much trust into it. It's crazy. Imagine a little, tiny little robot that comes out of the cupboard and it sweeps and mops like all your house. And then slices your ankle. Your Achilles so that you can fall so it could be like eye leveled directly by your throat

and then chops your throat off. You know what I mean? Strategically. Oh, my God. That would suck. Yeah, and think about the... Dude, that'd be dope. Would you have an AI dog? Yeah, so that's the thing. Like, there are AI dogs that I saw one outside.

I swear to, it's in the vlog. It's in the vlog. It's in the vlog. We're not talking about some fucking robot hard dog. I'm talking about with fur, like, looks like... Nah, bro. They have a lot of those little things of the swap means. Like, you can't tell if it's a dog or AI.

Those little things you're chasing a little tail? The fuck is that? Yeah. He's moving a little. little weird. It looks at you. He's like, Rolfed motherfucker. Because they can speak. Obviously, he's got AI. That'll be, that'll be, the dog will be able to talk to you.

That'd be, I don't know what's been going on with my TikTok, but every night there's something fucking new. Like, some, some lady figured out that babies actually have a language. I believe that. Yeah, like, it's an actual

language that they use that they obviously get rid of as they grow and they develop their vocal course and ability to have more mobility. in their hand gestures yes it's like I don't know I don't want to fucking replicate the sound so I was literally about something like I'm not doing that that's like grabbing it like a bottle and they're saying something in their head yeah like give me that like give me that shit it's it's they're trying to say shit yeah Matt Matt's sleeping at the wheel he would have brought that up right now but no no no you're past it's okay uh anyway so what's uh what was scared of AI over there

yeah he's just he's been he went down his own his own path uh what you've been to uh nothing i just came back from the dentist this morning yeah how'd i go any cavities no but bro oh my god the scraping just hearing it like the polishing and shit came last so like just like knowing she's like getting stuff off my teeth with that sharp-ass tool is just like dude who do you go to god we're here we're on a corner dude listen to me i got a guy it bro it's the best best uh you can't switch dentist like you can't yes you've 1,000 percent can't and you should If I like my dentist, I'm not going to sketch out my dentist. Let me put you on.

There's this dude, this Asian dude at this place called Mint. Mint. Right? It, bro, listen to me. That dude has been the best technician I've ever dealt with ever. Yeah, I get in there and I get out of there with no problem. Like, doesn't hurt, doesn't make me be like, oh, doesn't make

my toes curl, my toes curl, doesn't make like any of that, like. Toast curl. What the fuck's you put in your mouth? A fucking scraper. Oh, that's what you're saying. No. I'm telling you, you gotta go, I'm telling you, this is the best, the best one that I've, I've been to. I'm, uh, trust me.

That is the one thing that I, that I do think that, that I do think that, that I would get done. Like, I think I would get, like, new teeth, like, like, nature did. Yeah, like veneers. But the ones that Natchat got where you can still bite into a fucking apple and nothing's going to happen. My parents got them. It seems like a great investment. Yeah. What is veneers?

It's like completely fake? It's like completely fake. But isn't that, like, the texture, isn't that kind of weird now? No, no, dude. I don't know that has veneers? They say it's a good idea. Yeah, and the thing is, and the thing is, is like, do you, do you care? As long as you have that, that million dollars smile.

I mean, the only thing sucks is like if you chip your tooth, like, Matt, don't put this on there. Yeah, what the fuck? This will check everybody out watching. Oh, Matt, what are you doing? Please, Matt. He's checking us out now. Matt, I don't even want to talk about that.

What about you there, Dashie? I just, what's the thing, I just got off streaming. Working? You got in here kind of early? What's your sleeping schedule looking like? No one knows. I don't even know what it is. It's just whenever I feel tired, I go to bed.

But, like, honestly, we're starting to scrim tomorrow. So now I'm getting back on the sketch. Got it, got it, got, got, got. Ender's actually testing it out tomorrow. Hey, what's good with that? Yeah, he's, we're scrimming for the first time tomorrow. And then he said he's like, who's moving this fucking table? It's got to be moves.

I'm literally not moving. He might have been me. Might have been me. Yeah, it was an AI, maybe. I don't know. But Ender said that he's like, well, he got his fluid removed from his thumb, something like that. And now he said he's good to go tomorrow, which is we're going to go. Yeah, he is.

Yeah, he is. Like tomorrow? I thought he was already here to be on as well. Is he here? He's gone for kind of a while, dude. He's, where's Pais? Is she here? Anyway, he can enter in a long time.

Yeah, no, it's been a long time. It's been a tough situation for him, I bet, obviously, like, I'm going to tell you, I don't know if I said this already, but I'm going to tell you how I know that this dude just cannot wait. We were backstage, and, uh, and these guys were obviously on stage, we were in the dugout, and I'm looking at, I saw some war zone commercial, I'm like, I'm like, man, man. I miss playing call duty man he's like yeah me too yeah look at him and I'm like no but you really miss it he's like yeah dude's the best and I'm like this dude's ready he loves caught like if him being out is the worst person I guess you could say in the league that to be out just because like he's the one guy that's actually feeding to play every day actually every day think about think about it right like as a kid all you want to do is play and right now it's like a parent

told him you can't play no more yeah somebody took the ball home so uh so just to give you guys a little bit more detail on that all of the fluid was drained he feels the mobility is back not that it ever went away but the mobility's there without any pain he said he feels really good but we have to take that with a grain of salt right because

we know how much he loves Call of Duty and we know that he would do anything to come back yeah but like he said well like he knows like it sounds cap here I'm gonna say exactly I'm gonna tell you exactly I'm gonna tell you trust me it feels so fucking good I'm gonna say you almost like it's like almost like it's like I'm trying to lie to

Don't be checked. I feel gone, but it's better than it was before. Even better. I'm like, how? No way. Yeah, hey, hey, hey, let's get rid of scrim. It's only one set, though. So two days ago, he says, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, so it hits a week because of the shot.

Yeah, yeah, that's what he texted me yesterday. So he's going to. Yeah, so, so, so I think, I think we'll be, we'll be seeing them there. Obviously, obviously, uh, prolute is going to remain on the, on the team. Well, no. Prolu is we got a mention prolu that kid was comedy. That kid's hilarious. Yeah.

It was some good laughs for sure. Yeah. Hell yeah. So he's sticking around obviously as until we determine or until we're 1,000% sure that Inder is back fully and ready to be operational. Yeah. You should be good to go. Yeah.

Well, obviously it's up to him at the end of the day. Like if he's, you know, he's good, but we'll find out tomorrow. Yeah. Have you been watching your Warriors play? Yeah. I'll be honest, man. I think I think they're back. I think they're up three to in the finals

They're one game away Yeah I don't my worries They're just Steph Curry though He's not on fire last night He went 0 for 9 for the first time He was due for a cooler

You know what I'm saying He was shooting shoes That's why What kind of shoes He had the purple jumps I'm like wow No no no no He was wearing those in game four though

Like you know No I mean It's frying in game four Yeah Yeah and he switched it out Yeah That is crazy to think though I think he went

235 games I think he went 235 games without or making a three-pointer right in the four years yeah four years 20 18 but he made a three at least once every year yeah man's looking it up right now I'm broken the final

kind of took over the other game though it's a weird little it's a weird little yeah basketball's all flow it's actually basketball is literally all rhythm bro anything could destroy you tell me stuff goes oh and fucking nine from the I saw that with Jason Tatum even when the Warriors would fucking put up the bullshit he would

still he was still on fire like yeah there's nothing you I mean the other game like you couldn't miss you know what I'm saying so it's like it's it's insane how I don't know it really is all right I mean it's it's a big play yeah it's a huge part such a mental sport but but it also it also goes to sure to it also goes to show how how strong the warriors are if they're able to still win a game without this dude doing what he does that's to be honest though like they probably switched their defense because the way the Celtics were playing before they were just letting him shooting guarding everybody else but now they're

kind of just taking away his shot and then they're letting everybody else get there. So it's a trade-off. You should be so a plays like, Steph? Like, well, obviously not,

but like, I'm just being like getting 2V1 all night. If your team is, like, fuck, dude, that'd be so annoying. Yeah. And you're just passionate teammates,

like, dude, make that. You're wide open, please. Like, and if they'd miss it, you're just like,

oh my God. Yeah. Yeah, but I think at that level, like, they're already training what to do in scenarios where you get double team.

Oh, yeah, they talk. I'm sure Steph, I'm sure stuff has like a different way to play. If he didn't have the range, he had to be different, but his range is so crazy. They have to, they have to extend. He's getting doubled at the logo, bro.

At the logo. Imagine that. You're 40 feet away. It's literally, it's 45 feet like the one, one half of the court to the other. So it's 90 feet overall, bro. He's at 40 feet getting doubled. Tripled sometimes. I'm like, bro, these guys have.

Like if I see, if I see the third guy coming in, I'm like, bro, they're letting the guy in the corner shoot. I'm like, bro, they have no respect for this guy. Holy dude. Yeah, that'd make you feel like fucking, yeah. Yeah, like if I'm wide open and there's giving me shots, I'd feel like kind of like disrespect almost. And the tennis thing I'm fucking a hash. You're not even guarding me.

And the final. And 333 games. Wow, that's kind of insane. Of at least one three-pointer made. Three-pointering games since November 8th, 28th. Blow was just off last night. Yeah, but he's forcing it and shit. And he's like tilted getting 2B1, so he's just throwing up like random shit.

Yeah. I mean, it has to be, it had to have been the defense, right? Because if he didn't get like a clear look at it, like it's crazy. He's not a clear look. looks he was missing yeah I think I think I don't know he was due for a game like this he just had arguably the best game of his career so like the next game you know what damn you know what well like not like points wise but like impact wise and like the significance of it for sure did you see that that the Celtics raised the hoop two inches really guys it's it's

what were they hanging from it that was like a good idea what was that it's just the two inches it's like a tape measure that's like that's like that's like that's like that's a like that's a It's enough to fuck it every single shot. Yeah. Well, the Celtics did that, but then the Warriors caught it. Did they go back? No. They're like, come back here.

It's a game seven trust. It's like 12 feet high. Uh, here, go up, Matt. Let me read that. Wait, like mid-game. Do I look like AI? You gotta go into depth on that. That's pretty serious accusation.

Yeah, so right here, they cheat. No heat in the winner. I don't even call it an arena. It was like a barn. James Worthy says the Boston Celtics fans are still up to those old dirty tricks. Says it was horrible playing in Boston. So obviously the Boston fans have always been like very very rowdy. Yeah.

East Coast people right here, right here. The Warriors complained that the rim looked too high and it turns out that it was two inches off. Is it not a big deal? Right. That's what you're going to say. It wasn't a big deal because this was during warm-ups and practice. Yeah. Because they caught in practice.

They caught in practice, right? Yeah. Well, they left it if it was if it didn't catch you? Yeah, 100%. No. Wait, 100%. No, because then they would have had to shoot against it also. No, no, no, like.

No, like. Yeah. right action. No, no. They would have brought it back. What, half time? Yeah, by the time

they're down, 50? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. When they're checked and they went into the second half, like, bro, we can't make a shot. They saw when the room was crooked and get it.

This is almost a memory, two, two inches will throw off the shot. This is, this is what I think happened. Okay. At warm-ups, they push the button like a standing desk in two inches. Like one Larry Burke fan on the side.

It was like, super quiet. No, it was definitely the organization. Now, whether the coach or anybody else had anything to do with it doesn't matter. All they did is like, we're going to race it for two inches just for that. When the players go back into the locker room. Yeah, and then there's a halftime, like, show.

They're like, no, not half time. Not half time. Yeah, before the game starts, then they lowered it. But they're already warm on like the fucking, the weird shit. It's like playing with delay. Exactly. Yeah, yeah. It's still a huge advantage.

They're all checked already. Think about it. The fact, just by looking at it, you can tell the difference between two inches. That's pretty crazy. You're just overshooting, consistent. That's how you know, they're like, They perfect, not even perfect everything. They know everything that's going on.

Maybe the Warriors are fucking him over. Maybe he's up was chalked and that's why you had a bad game. No, this is way, way, way later. Yeah, this is at the Boston Stadium. They just played at Warriors. But, but yeah, look, mind games is, you know, psychological warfare is a thing. Oh, for sure.

And this is one of those things. They're trying to just fuck with you. But the fact that they were able to recognize it, that's insane to me. That's not insane to me. I feel like if you're a professional basketball player, you'd notice this right away. Yeah. To be honest with you.

Like, someone would be like, bro, am I tripping? Or is that like really high? Yeah. And then like a couple people will co-tine. They're like, wait, nah, something's fucked up. He's probably walked under it. Like, damn, they're like, damn these shoes in. He's like, damn.

He's like, yeah, I usually could touch the rim. That too. Wait, yeah, the netting part two. Like, they could definitely. Yeah, one of probably had some weird ass ritual warm up or some shit. Yeah, he's like, wait. Yeah. He's like, wait.

Oh, wow. He's like, yeah, what the fuck? Yeah, yo, yeah, yeah, check this out real quick. It's a little too high. I mean, again, I think, I think this is one of the good series. I mean, now that Clay and this guy are back. We have Game Six Clay loading, so. The Celtics, good night.

That's all I guess I say. I want the Celtics to win. I don't want the Celtics to win. The fans are so bad. Yeah, look. They're the worst fans in sports. I'm sorry. How do you know?

Boston? Yeah. What do I mean? How do I know? Everyone knows that. Yeah, everyone knows that. They're actually the worst fans. Even the Red Sox fans?

Yeah. They're in Boston too. I thought Red Sox fans are like, they're East. Actually, Red Sox fans are pretty bad. Have you ever heard of the Boston Tea Party? Yeah. Okay. Well, that's the...

They don't take shit from no one. They literally, if they don't like you, they're going to fucking let you know. Okay. Period. And they don't, that culture doesn't go away. The reason that I like the Celtics, one, they're green, but secondly, uh, during, when we first. got, they are green.

Yeah, they're green. But when they first got here, oh, I'm sorry, when I first got here to the United States, that was like early 90s, and that's when like, the Magic Johnson from the Lakers, that was my dad's team,

Magic Johnson and the Lakers. So I had to pick the opposite and those, you know, that was Larry Bird before. Larry Bird and the boys. Larry Bird and the boys, man, yeah. Wow, the fans probably love that team the way I think about it.

Yeah, bro. And did you see, did you see Kyrie? Like, every single time he's in there, he's like steps on the logo? I like that. Like he like, yeah. Like,

like wipes his feet out. Like I would never, I would never put like right there. Somebody made me that rug of optic and they put it on the floor. I'm like, lift that fucking hung it up. No one's stepping on my logo in front of me. We can get your ass beat. You know what I mean? Yeah.

So don't do that. All right. Let's take a quick commercial break. We're going to say hello to the sponsors and we'll be right back. This sponsor is BetterHelp. Now, better help has been around for a very, very long time and they have been coming back. And that only means that a lot of you have been using this link. And I don't want to thank you for using the link or using our link to use these things.

But I want to raise awareness to the fact that a lot of people are using this, which is why they're coming back. And if BetterHelp, something that is so helpful for a lot of people is helping a lot of you, certainly appreciate that. So it feels good when you're able to promote things that you believe in and people also believe in. So what is BetterHelp? For those of you who don't know, BetterHelp is a customized online therapy session that offers video. and even live chat sessions with your therapist so that you don't have to see anyone on camera if you don't want to.

And it's much more affordable than in-person therapy and you can be matched with therapists within under 48 hours, which is really, really good. You know, a lot of things are happening in this world where there is just so much information flowing from social media and where, like, especially when you work in this industry, where social media isn't used the same way that other people use it.

We use it as a tool. we use it as part of an ability to connect with you guys on a daily basis. So it's sometimes work, passionate work, but it is work, right? We have to stay on top of this stuff. And burnout is an actual thing. When you don't take enough time for yourself, you sometimes feel burned out, right? Life can be overwhelming, and many people are burnt down without even knowing it. They feel something, but they don't know or they can't identify what that trigger is to make them feel that way.

Symptoms can include lack of motivation, irritability, fatigue, and more, right? Being quiet, not wanting to see anyone, not wanting to leave your apartment. We associate burnout with work, but that's not the only cause, right? Any of our roles in life can lead to some sort of burnt out, right? Like whether you're providing help for your family member, whether you're taking your, you know, your grandma shopping, like, and you're the only one doing it. Like that, that takes its toll, right? Well, what better help does is it gives you an online therapy session.

and it wants it to remind you to prioritize yourself, right? When you're on an airplane, the first thing to tell you is that if in case of an emergency, let the mask drop, you've got to take care of yourself first before you're able to help others. So if you're in this situation, take a look at this, right? Because it can help you by allowing you to talk it out with someone, right? Talking with someone can help you figure out what's causing the stresses in life. And the second that you're able to identify that problem, that's when you are on your way to getting better. BetterHelp, as I just mentioned, is an online therapy session that offers video phone and chat.

also disrespecting the... You went back to that. He went rogue. Sprinted back to the star. Here he is, catches the touchdown. He gets it. He's like, oh, hold on. He's like, I've been planning this shit.

He's like, I've been planning this shit. He's like, he's like, touchdown, whatever, whatever. He's like, what's he going? Yeah, he's like, where is he gone? He's like, he's very funny. He should have just been cool with that one. The second time, like he wanted to go. Because he got gas for it.

He got too for it. Okay. Yeah, yeah. He's like, I am disrespectful as fuck. He's voice on the side. Like, yeah, you run this shit. You run this town. Yeah, that's the boy, so Emmett Smith.

Uh-oh, oh, oh, oh. Like, now they're beefing. Yeah, he's like, oh, yeah, this is mine. He's reclaiming that star. Give me that shit. Boom, this is my town, he says. Shout out Emmett Smith, man. What a fucking tank.

What a beauty for that. And here comes again, though. Yo. And that's like, nah, now we're back. He's like, nah, nah, nah, no, no, that. He's like, go on. Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe. Get the fuck off me, Steve Young.

He's like, what the fuck? Bang. Hell yeah, that's what I'm talking about. He goes back to it. And he missed. He's like, what's up? He's double-jacked. Yeah, see, 90s?

90s. Oh, it's 2000. Okay, so early, early 2090s is worse. And he got the ball back to you. He got the ball back and stood there again. Like, that's hilarious. That's so good. That was funny.

Have you guys ever done anything petty like that? Probably on it. Okay. Why are you gritting like that while you're sipping? Thinking that that was funny. Yeah. This guy has tipped himself on the shit that he's done. What did you do?

Nothing. What about you? I can't recall. Something you guess I can keep close to your chest. Honestly, I'm trying to think what I, if I've ever done anything like that, I don't think so. I just don't. We were talking about shows earlier and you said that, uh, uh, you watched Westworld. Did you get a chance to watch the showtime?

What's it called? Winning time? winning time on showtime with the Rice of the Lakers is the name of the show. Have you seen? I've not seen that. It's so good.

I've seen shit. What is that? It's the rise of the Lakers. Oh, Rise of the Lakers. Oh, I think I saw a little bit of that. With Adam Stanley recently,

that was pretty good. Oh, yeah, the best one movie was right? Hustle? Yeah, I haven't seen it. Yeah, I was going to watch that this weekend. I think I may have seen a little bit of this. You got to watch the whole thing,

bro. It's so well casted. It never, I always have a problem with John. Riley because he's such a comedian. Then when I saw the movie The Sisters Brothers, I went into it and I just didn't like it. But this one is so freaking good. They cast it amazing. And it gives you an insight to what things were like back then. And did you know that this guy, right? What's it? Who does he play?

Krause? Jerry Krause? Jerry Krause? Jerry Krauss? Yeah, the GM. Yeah, Jerry Bus. Bus, bus. Cross is the Chicago guy. Yeah, but did you know that this is the guy that put cheerleaders on the court? On the map? Yeah.

Did you know that this is the guy that invented court side seating for athletes and movie stars? So they kind of like set the paved the way for the rest of the NBA? They made the NBA fucking cool. The courtside and like their sport is kind of different for that. Like you like the environment. Yeah. And like what you could do, do you think about your court side is. He just recently sat courtsides.

It's funny that he's like, I mean, it's not. It's not great. Both, if I just know, just let the record show that if I get another ticket, course, you're one of the people that are going away. Wait, wait, wait, I'm next, too, right? I mean, you already sat there. Yeah, but I like, again, though. Technically, you have two.

Huh? Technically, you have two. Yeah, but it's my connection. I can't not go. You know what I mean? Can you imagine how loss would be without either? Yeah. Excuse me.

Excuse me. Where do we sit again? He says one A. I don't know. Somebody takes her seat, like, I think that's not our seat. Someone will bully us and would be like, where's your sheet? Okay, that's fine. We can still see.

Okay. It's okay. The game's going. What's scored now? Oh, no, man. I'm not kidding outside. I'm sorry. Yeah, I mean, you were the one that was supposed to go, though.

You gave up your seat for Brandon. For his birthday. For his birthday. That's such a, that's probably my best birthday gift. Probably. I don't know. I'm saying, yeah, that is my best birthday. Corside, play.

But who gave you that? Was it, was that I think you, was it was that I think he gave you the gift? Or was to him at that point? and Flamesword got me that big ass bottle of 42 tequila for Christmas or was it was that just Flam Sword? Oh, because you got me slides.

Yeah, yeah. You got me Gucci slides. Fucking Flamesort bought me a bottle of 19, 1942. I got invited to a party. I didn't have anything to bring and I brought that shit. I'm like, you know, that's a point. That's it.

The Flamesword, cheers. Speaking of Flam Sword, which led me to a thought about Halo, what the fuck, man. Yeah, like, do you guys get fined for speaking truths, man? Like, what's, what's, I don't know? I don't think I'll get fined.

Do you play a tournament and there's five months off? Five. Like, what? We're still in the same season? It's such for playing. Like, it's such for playing. You know what I'm saying? Like, three, four, three, fours he dropped the ball on pretty much everything that you could possibly drop the ball on.

Like, since the game's been out, like they just kind of let it slip to their fingers. But the first month was so hype. That's what that's what gets me fucking. First month was great. It's like they didn't expect their game to be good at all. and they didn't expect people to care or something so they were like

yeah people aren't gonna give a fuck though because like no one's really gonna know about all these problems but the problem is it got so much spotlight that everyone started dissecting the game yeah and then like they didn't really have a response for it was taking over cod remember I swear to God

everybody was playing Halo the first like 100% there was a little debate going on for like console well not console you know what I'm saying but like before just control FPS yeah people were going rogue and then like I don't know they just slowly let it slip through their fingers and didn't really have a response that was quick enough

and they still really haven't had a response yeah so it's just been falling more and more and now people just don't really They care about the game. Tashi from over there who's doing his best to get this done owes me an interview on the Evesrop. Because I want to know what's up, man. They can still save it. They just have to have a good BR.

If they have a good BR, it'll save the game. It'll save the game and completely wash away all these, like, sins. Like Haleyl could have a crazy B.R. But if they fuck that up, then they deserve to have their shit. Just like the little ghost right? Like, just like the guns, like the graphics. They can make us such a cool. Yeah, I mean, they got the vehicles.

They got the little fucking airplanes. the airplanes would have to be nerfed, like you can only use it for 30, 40 seconds. You have shields as it is in Halo. Like it would be a sick-ass little BR. Wait, dude, now, go. Wait, they can make a crazy. Yeah, but even then.

They could also fuck it up, though, bad. They could also really fuck it up. It could also fuck it up bad. Not only that, dude, but think about the amount of work that it's going to take to get that BR up and running and how that is going to affect

the competitive side of Halo, right? That's what I think they're working on right now. That's why they've been so quiet towards us. They've just been like, they're just like, we're just like, we're just got to get the BR out they'll understand. We just got to get the sound and they'll understand.

Like, I think that's what their mindset is. No, but look, from an organizational standpoint as optic here, I think that, you know, we were enamored with the initial offering. And had they not had skins, I don't think that it would have been worth it for us to continue to be on it as it is, right? Yeah, I agree. More importantly, dude, I think, what do you keep saying? Dude, more importantly, I think that it is something that needs to be like immediate.

corrected internally because they had such a hot start that it would have been really easy for them to just continue to do the right things. Because it wasn't, it wasn't this whole four-month period that we're not doing anything, like that wasn't something that just, you know, came out of nowhere. Like this was in the planning. It's really disappointing. Yeah. Incredibly disappointing, to be honest.

Yeah. And again, I don't think that it's dead. I don't think that it can't be, you know, fixed. Still be saved. It can still be saved 100%. but it could also still, you know, it could also not be safe. It could also confident self. Like, it could also just shut the door and it's...

I think it did. I think that's three-four-three and what their next move is. Is it three-four-three like the Activision of Hale? Yeah. The developer, you mean? I thought it was like Bungee, no? No, bungee's been working on destiny and shit for like years. Oh, so it's like a new...

What are these numbers, Matt? What am I looking at? Oh, shit. The Hela Twitch viewership. You know, if you should have to rip this game was fucking phenomenal. It was phenomenal. And then, like, just slowly, I just, just noticed it started going down and down and down.

Yeah, I mean, you see those peaks and those are tournament events, right? Like, those have to be tournament events. Yeah. What are the first, now, even the two-ks before the first tourney was, they were lit. Yeah, no, I could turn on. We have 10K viewers for a pro series, and I was on, like, SSG. Wait, didn't you do a watch party? Yeah, for Anaheim.

It's super lip. Yeah. But then, like, after that, it was when it started down. That's when I started dying, right? Yeah. I don't know. I think that the storylines are there. The brands are there.

Like, they have, like, major, major brands in this thing. Yeah. They just can't fuck this up, man. There's just no way that they can fuck us up. Like, there's definitely a way because I've like seeing it firsthand now, like how incapable they actually are. But like I really hope that they like understand what they have. Are you talking about development side?

Like with both like the competitive, the competitive side with these like the scheduling, I understand like scheduling is years in advance and there's obviously a lot of sure you've got to set up with venues and it's expensive and blah blah blah. But like there should never be a break like this in the middle of a season and then have like an event and then your champs right away is like so dumb. Yeah. That like how are you expect anyone to be interested by the time this rolls around? There's no story. And on top of that, the game is, like, broken in a lot of ways. And, like, there's, like, the fact that, like, we GAAed the Mangler,

and, like, the Mangler's still really not even, like, been touched. And, like, just, like, little things like that. There's a whole bunch of shit like that. They're just kicking their feet up and, like, bore, boy. I don't know. I think they're working on the VR. I'd like to think that they're working really fucking hard on the BR. And if they're not doing that, then I don't know what they're doing.

And they need to be cleaning house and that whole fucking, and whole, like, what if they're in board or think of mimosa right now with their feet. It could be. And they're sitting there making arbiter noises and shit. And they're just like to get a lot of the arbitrage. I'm like, what the fuck? Without giving a shit about this? Like, whatever.

They just said fun. Yeah, look, I just, I don't want to be, personally, I don't want to be a part of a league in which we have to take up a lot of the, a lot of the, the, the viewership and the promotion on it, right? Like, if we have to, if every time we step into an Eastport, we're committing, you know, time and resources to create content surrounding those players. in those e-sports. And if we're producing this content, like what, we can't be the ones that carry this thing. It's what I'm saying.

You know what I mean? And that is disheartening to see where it was because I was such a big supporter of it in the beginning. People were saying that I was getting paid by fucking Halo to say the things I was saying in the beginning. I'm like, no, I've always had respect for Halo. And look, here I am,

six months into this thing talking shit about it because I'm disappointed in it. Like I'm, I'm, I, I call it how it is. I don't need people to pay me to fucking say that I like something. Like, what do you do? If the devs don't support, like, the game, what do you do? You're pretty much just shocked, right? It's hard when, like, the devs do support the game, but they're not doing, like, it's, it's hard because, like, the 243 devs do support the game, and I can tell they, they mean well, but they don't have the, like, the staff or the, whatever to, to, like, project that.

So then you just think they're just shitting on your shit. And then you're like, yeah, and then you're just like, dude, you got like, it's just, it just looks. Yeah. But I don't think they're trying to do it on purpose. I think it's just the way it looks. And I mean, I hope I'm right with that. But why don't they just come out and just be transparent about it? You know what I mean?

I mean, they're kind of transparent. Like, Tashi comes to events and he explains shit like every time. Like Toshy's like the Spencer, right? Yeah, but I feel like doing it to pros and publicly is two different things, though. Because like, you know what I'm saying? No, yeah, it is. It's like with pros. Like, you pretty much get all the pros at first, though.

You have to, like, satisfy the pros. so they stop tweeting bad shit about your game. Because then like when the pros feed about bad shit and like your followers are all, if I was tweeting bad shit about Halo. Your father's gonna follow it up. They're eventually like my followers would all hate the fucking I don't say shit about Halo usually like, you know? I just kind of let it rock. But like

I mean it's just been so long man like you guys gotta do something. It's been like so long and like so much like bro that like when we talked about last podcast with team snipers like they put in a team snipers place and you don't even have a fucking sniper like 10 of the fucking 15 game modes. What is what is that? Let me ask you this

what is preventing what is preventing somebody like Hitch who is a fucking expert in throwing like tournaments to throw an event. I don't know. I don't know how any of that works. It's probably got to be some legal side with. Like we have a stadium that's like sitting there right now and it's got it's, it's levels of, uh, I feel like people three would someone be mad at that. Wait, is that, wait, is the lack of events?

Is it a halo thing or like MLG thing? I have no idea. You know what I mean? I have no idea. MLG thing. Or is you sports engine? Or whoever's hosting the events? I mean, I think, look, if you have, if you have money, listen, if you have money,

you can throw any, if you, if you can throw any, if you, if you you have a hundred thousand dollars you can throw an event and people will go to it period but would it be it would it be like on the halo stream for example right no it just be on whoever like davis for example like you know what i'm saying i'm gonna follow the stream yeah look i mean i look not this is this is my thing though right like we not only were we already committed to halo right we've had a team in the past but then you know matt retires from call of duty and then goes like this is like these are major fucking moves that can help i think it did help like yeah I mean like and it could still be used like you know I'm saying like I just I just

hope they don't I just hope they don't waste it no I that's what I'm saying like the storylines are there the interest is there or was there I just don't I just don't understand I and and look I'm critical of every every developer that I'm partners with just because I want it I want to see it succeed period right I want to succeed but I love Halo of course I would love for it to be like the best game in the world like to be honest but it's just we'll see Yeah, whatever, fuck it. This graph's shocking, you know what I was thinking, yeah, you can get away with that. I was thinking about, like, watch parties and all that stuff.

And what would be really cool, I don't think I'm going to say it. I'm good. Let's move on from that. I was just going to say, we should have like a live, like a watch party, but with you guys actually playing. But I'm like, where the fuck are we going to fit people? Oh, shit, we put them at the stadium. You know what I mean? Like a watch party for an event?

Yeah. We're like, you know how you guys play from here? Yeah. Like watch partying like me playing just a normal day? That'd be fire like a vowshush just watch firing like You have a league match like that what you mean like you guys are like you have a league match People go to the bars and shit and they like yeah but instead of going to the bars to go to the stadium and then they would be lit imagine like a normal league match but you have a fucking live crowd Wait isn't that kind of what Davis was doing?

The whole stadium is like this is aides or she's three oh yeah it's getting shit on right I'm like, why are we even, I don't know, I'll watch this. Everyone was passing drinks out here's down to. Just the quickest series ever, too. They just get there. They're a little late. That's a series is over. Like, he'll he slammed his cam.

Guys, guys saw his hot dog and his drink in his hands and like, just getting there. Like, not even steaming still. Is everyone just packing up their shit? It's like, wait, wait, wait, wait, you guys are dipping? Yeah. Wait, wait, real quick. This is kind of random, but yo, because I brought up hot dog, yo, yo, we had the best hot dog ever until.

It was so good. Yeah, you know, listen, I swear to, me and Hector, we got to the J's game late, right? We were busy with a couple things, you know what I'm saying? Just, you know, I'm saying? Just, you know what I'm saying? And then we got to the game, I'd say, an hour late, but your baseball games last 500.

You know what I'm saying? There's so long. We got there at the, like, third or fourth inning, and then there's this hot dogs and no one touched in nothing. Well, everyone's ready at the game. So like, the line, bang, we're in. Just like that, he gets a sausage, whatever the... Italian spicy sauce.

Oh, dude, I wish I got one, actually. And I got two hot dogs. I have to give one to pro luke because he got there late and I was kind of pissed about it. I was like, you got the other one, why not? I can't tell by the way you said, you were actually so tight. I was so mad because it was such a good hot dog. Oh my God. It was good stuff.

Let me tell it from my perspective, which was even more funny and also disappointing. What? We're, what? No, go ahead. So we get there. I am personally by myself smoking a joint outside the J stadium. It's legal. It's across the street.

You're smoking a J outside the J stadium? Smoking a J. before the Jace, all right? I was watching. So I'm smoking. So I'm smoking. We're talking. We're waiting for proload

me and this guy and I'm trying to like fan the smoke away from Nashy. Yeah. So I'm like, man, that government shit's like. Yeah. So, so, so I'm smoking. And I finish it.

We're all good. I flick it over to the train tracks. It was such a dope fucking setting. We could see the, yeah, the sun was going down. It was so vivy. It was so vivy. Is that sundown there?

And then I'm like, I'm like, yo, man, we're missing this thing. We have the Toronto Ultra, shout out Toronto Ultra, they had a sweet for all the players to come back. That's sick. So we are on the way there and we're already late. My goal was to get there by the seventh inning.

Yeah, because, dude, I'm sorry. I got to interrupt. Dude, baseball keeps are so boring. Like, nothing's happening. The only fun thing is eating the peanuts and just eating for like five hours and drinking and like, that's it. Our guy. Yeah.

So I get to the right place. You know what I'm saying? I think we were, what was it? We got it from ghost drops. dispensary and it was one of the gelatoes that they had. It was really, really, really, really good. Anyway, I'm looking at my watch. I'm like, yo, we need to get in here. He's like, yo, we got to wait for fucking pro loot. I was like, God damn it. I'm like, oh, I spot it. I see it. There's a light. There's a cart and there's smoke. And I'm like, that's a hot dog spot.

Let's go. So we walk over. There's no line. I say, let me get an Italian sausage, spicy, whatever. Boom. And he's like, what do you want? He's like, I want two hot dogs. I'm like, hell, you get in there, kid. So he was super amped about his hot dog. So I get the first one I pass it to him he goes just his little muster shit I get the second one I'm there and I'm like all right whom I pay we're good I have my fucking dope bro it's it was so I took a bite out of it and I was like god damn it was so good and then here comes pro lute late as fuck walking right in super slow he walks slow for some guy he's in slow I'm slow walk you know my slow walk kids in slow he's oh he is in me

it's impressive he gets there that he looks he looks at what we're doing and he's like he's like hey you're gonna eat both of those two dash and I'm like he's not anymore like No, not anymore. Exactly. Why didn't you, I was gonna be like, yo, why don't you just get you open? I was tired of waiting for him. So I'm like, let's get the fuck out of it. Fuck your hot dog, let him eat it.

Let's go inside. One hot dog. Oh my, it was so good. Made a difference, sir. So anyway, we were what, bro, we were able to walk into the stadium with the hot dog, which was fucking dope. And I walked into the stadium also with what I had bought at the dispensary, which was kind of weird for me.

Yeah. Literally walked in with my little bags. The Jays are security is gonna be pissed about that. they hear that no because they knew they saw it they're like oh so you're gonna have a good time you're just like all right just ripping one in the sand so we get there and we listen we are on on uh on section 300 on the third floor i'm looking at the sign right but i'm i'm in a different like wavelength at this moment right i'm just i'm taking little bites of this thing so that i that that i'd last long because it was that fucking good so good byron proletut says it's this way look and i'm like i

look at it. I'm like, it doesn't make sense. Yeah, you checked us out, guarantee. So, so we start walking and they're, they're like ramps. You've been to games, we're just ramps. Okay, well, these ramps are a little bit steeper. Okay.

And we walk, and we're walking, there's no doors. It's literally just like a fucking parking lot. There's no. It's this way? Yeah. There's no. And then, because like, he was trying to say, yo, it's this way, trust.

And then, like, Hector was, obviously, he was smoking. So, and I was specating him smoking. So then like, the pre-th things were like, I'm just faded. You know what I mean? It's probably yeah, he's probably right. And then Hector's like, no, I think it's here. And Hector was right, but he was faded.

So he didn't like 100% like, coat me. No, he could be. And then, bro, we took an extra 30 or, or not, tell him what floor we got to before we turned around. What floor was it actually? Five. Oh my God. We got to the fan fucking floor.

We're on the third floor. So we're working out ramps. Bro, it was like, every two. It's two for one floor. So it's four. Oh, no. Five. And I'm like, God, damn.

So we start walking down. And then we go back to where we start. on the first or second floor and we're like yo we have to ask the person at the front like yo where is like whatever we're sitting at so faded She was like it's right there and I'm like I was so mad at this point, but I'm like you know what myron? You're good brother Mistake. That's a I'm sorry. Oh we when we walked down the stairs No this is Oh, man. I would have been I would have been like you're off the team Okay, no we walked downstairs. We walked downstairs and then we finally enter the fucking the belt right? I

like the little where all the stands are. And I'm like, excuse me, how do we get to sweet 300, oh, see the elevator over there, take it to the third floor? There you go.

So we get to the elevator. We go to the third floor. We get out and it's sweet 303. When we get out, it's sweet $3.90 something. Bro, we had to walk. Oh my, yo,

you know how baseball games? Like the stadium is like, you know what I'm saying? You literally had to walk. It couldn't have been any further. And I'm like, where? There's no like other.

Cup but you know that guy's like you can't are you we had to we went from third base to first base but around the outfield but in the inside outfield to like it was even it was even worse because this is the field this is the stands and then this is the thing so it was it wasn't this it was this because it was the entire stadium so we walked by the time that I got to my seat my hot dog was fucking gone yeah you burned it off yeah but I got I got some really good pizza there too Had a really, really good job. All because we took the wrong turn.

Yeah. So Prolu took our, he took my hot talk and took us to the wrong route. He actually got you so mad that night, probably. Oh my God. Oh, my God. Yeah, he took an extra hot dog that was gone. And he's just walking slow the whole time and trying to lead? Oh, I would have been losing full.

He's like, he's like, chill, chill, it's good. It's good. He's like, no, he's like, he's like, no, dude, chill, chill, chill, it's cool. Yeah, he categorized us. Yeah, he categorized us. He said, nah, y'all are faded. It's down here. Oh, no way.

He said y'all are faded like that by iTunes. I'm like, maybe. If he says y'all are faded, then he like, you gotta be sure. We're like, yo, he's, he's right. He's got, like, he was so tough. I'm like, he just slow walked his way to the wrong. I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I knew I'm like, I knew I was right. Because I never say things wrong.

You know what I mean? That would have been such a check out. Anyway, it was. We ended up having like an incredible, incredible time. Uh, nonetheless. So I guess, you know, to, to wrap it all up. The game was super fun. The pizza there was fucking incredible.

Believe it. night. I don't eat cold pizza ever, and this wasn't that cold, but it wasn't like where I like it, where it's just steamy hot. It's Canadian pizza. Anyway, that's all I got. Any close in comments, gentlemen? No. You're good? Yeah.
