Listen, they're playing us before that. Whether they know it or not. If we lose, we'll never bring it up. But if we win, we're literally just going to be like, oh, you guys lost that. So, actually. Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode number seven. Thank you. Of the Optic podcast, we got an all-star studded host guests, guest, host and guests.

Is that allowed to say? Can I hype myself up as an all-star? We got formal to my left Mr. Brandon Dashy Bruce Batman to my left To my right I got my man Scump Abner

Yeah Don't give me that And then we got my man Dill The usual Talking to the mic He heard your YouTube's doing well Yeah

You'd be killing me Oh Sorry I just I had a furball You gotta finesse Anyway Welcome to another podcast This is the first podcast

That we're doing With everybody here It won't be like this every single time. Do not get too hyped up about it. Wait, why not? Yeah. Hey, let's talk about that shit. All right, guys, let's just start it. Okay, we were getting a little bit of topics here because last week we asked you guys to leave a topic in the description below or in the

comment section below for us to talk about. And the first one is, will the pros be GAing everything? And look, I don't, like you guys, I'm not a firsthand player on this thing, so I don't know. I don't understand the difference between 60 MS on my ping and 50 MS on my ping, but obviously they can because they operated at a different level. But they just gaid the AK-47, and I wanted to hear from the horse's mouths. Wait, which one have you used it? Oh, me.

Brandon used it. What do you feel about that, man? I think they G-Aided because you were too good, and they didn't have the gunny to be able to compete against you. So they said, let's hinder the man. Let's put some sandbags on his back and see what happens. I don't think it was just Bruce.

No, no, no. I mean, Hector makes a very good point. Everything he said is absolutely true. but I mean the AK-47 I mean G-A I mean for me it doesn't make sense

because I mean just because it kills fast doesn't mean like I mean I guess like I could see from like a subs POV because like up close it's killing them really quick so it's killing me faster every time

I mean close the AK-47 it kills pretty quickly up close like it's beating the sub if it's preamed 90% of time but did they find like a new a new attachment to that

to make that happen or what made it like now be G8 as opposed to like the amateurs in the EU and NA, G8 it once before, but then they, like, resulted back to, like, the pros GAs. But the pros never used it. Everyone thought the Krig was, like, meta. And the AK was meta. The AK was meta. Now everyone's using it, and it's, like, O.P.

Because I remember, we thought that the AK sucked because we played phase one time, and they'd been playing for, like, weeks before. So we played phase one time. We were all using AKs, and they were all using Krigs, and we got absolutely bodybagged, and we were like, fuck. like maybe we all gonna start using the Craig. Yeah, that was because we didn't even like really try it. We got body bag? Oh yeah. Like the first time we played phase?

Oh, whoa, yeah, we did. We were all using. You guys were all talking about the HECK was the flex gun. We got like 60 points of map. We got stuck. I totally white that from my brain, yeah. That's the right thing to do in my opinion.

And that was like when our team was like the Craig's the move. And then I think everyone else just like also thought the K was the move. Because of the Hedgehog multiple. Yeah. And then they nerfed that. And then they nerfed that. And then they nerfed because they never touched the AK. And then I,

I like to take credit for the trend in the pro seat for using the AKs. Yeah. Good looks to hang you. He was walking the far. Yeah. I'll take credit for that. Yeah. That XM4 is nice now.

So what is it? What is it about like, one of the things that I did see, and I'm not calling anybody out, right? But I did see somebody saying that this is better for the fan experience. I'm going to tell you as a fan of, as a viewer of e-sports, that shit don't matter to me. I want to see the best of the best place with whatever it is. So I don't want people to disguise this thing. This is better for the fans. From an entertainment standpoint, no, it's not.

Okay, this is you guys, and I'm not saying you guys, I'm just saying you guys as pros in general, saying this is better for us. This is what's more fun for us, right? And I get it. Like, GAs are going to happen or whatever, but you can't disguise that behind the shroud of this is for the fans, enjoyment and entertainment. Oh, it's 100% selfish from the pros.

Here's a problem, man. I'm just going to be the one to say it. Problem is Lamar and Slashier are literally in the same apartment. That's a bottom line, bro. These fools are at a table just like this. Rocking, like, they're like on their phones. They're like, yo, they're having a podcast with no mics on camera. Yeah, he's like, yo, pass the salt.

He's like, yeah, that's weird. You know what I'm saying? That's literally what they're doing, like, all day. And that's the problem. You got two of the, like, head people that are getting stuff out. They're living together. You know what I mean? So it's like.

Yeah, that's not. Yeah, that's a good point. That's a good point. That's a recipe for disaster right there. Yeah. Just like, yo, the AK 47's shredding me, right? And then Lamar's like, same, bro. On a real note, though, there's always going to be a gun that's going to be like good, you know what I mean?

Like, I'd rather have everyone use the same gun, to be honest. It's like have everyone use the same gun. Have you held warning to watch? But for me, like, that way no one can complain. You two weren't here in the last couple of podcasts to hear your opinion on this. But we were talking about how it would be a good idea for, for Call of Duty to have like a, the way they have war zone for them to have CDL and league play. But we were saying that instead of remaking maps, I'm sorry, instead of bringing new maps that may not often hit the way that we need them to hit for it to be a competitive map,

to bring in to have a player's sort of union, not union or a council, to pick the best 12 maps from the last 12 years, and then put them in there, and then we rotate one of the new maps into this thing or the best map into this thing to be a part of that. That'd be godlike. That'd be sick.

Right, I mean, think about it. If you think about Counterstrike has always been using the same maps, always, and it's awesome, right? People are never going to get sick of raid, never going to get sick of standoff, never going to get sick of solar, Like, they're just not going to get sick.

Go some raid standoff solar. Everyone's like this? He's like raid standoff solar. Like, you can't move that together. Yeah, that's kind of jetpack map, isn't it? I mean, I didn't mind that map, but that's like not like a raid. What's another good map? What are your thoughts on that?

I mean, that'd be, that'd be shit. High rise. Like, I mean, there's always... High rise. There's hell of maps. Like, firing rains, like, shit like that. Yeah, fire really good. People are just going to like those maps no matter of what.

Yeah. The problem before was. So it was 5 to, 5.4, so, like, a lot of the maps work. Like, in the past, like, if it was 5 to 5, 5, 5, you couldn't play, like, a raid or, like, a standoff. Or it just wouldn't play as well. Like, we played raid right now, 5.5, it wouldn't feel, like, the same. No, it feels horrible. It's like a 4-4-4-Share.

Which map would you bring back if you could? I'm, like, MW2 fanboy, so, like, Scrapierreepard? Scrap. Arcadier. That the... Oh, that's the... It's like the one. It's like on the MW2.

Yeah. Arcadens. Arcad and C-S. No, not seaside. What was the, what was the map in them? As long as we're not playing demolition, bro. What was that? Throwback. Down by, huh?

The two bomb, yeah. Down by the seaside. Anyway, I'm a fan of scary. So, you know, that's, talking on that, uh, slash hammer has to, well, there's a rumor out of the slash hammer is going to develop AW2 or World War 3, right? Which one? I know that if, please, AW2. AW2, why?

Dude, the other option? World War III. We don't know what World War III is. I mean, bro, yeah, but like, AW2, you're guaranteeing that we're flying around. What? It's literally called advanced warfare. You're down to fly? Yeah.

You are? Yeah, man. I'm all about the AW2, bro. AW1 was actually so fun. Was it really? Yeah, that should have no fun. You know what? Now that I think about it, you were, like, having mad fun on blackout when the jets came in.

Oh, yeah, bro. You could just make people all over the map. You could just make people look stupid. Is it a halo thing, do you think? It brings you back to those days? No, I think it should make some more fun. fast-paced and more entertaining. You get to the point to the gun engagement?

Yeah, let's just go fight each other. Like, that's fun, I mean. Yeah, I mean, yeah. Let's just square up. It's a good point. Let's meet in the middle. Over and over and over. I mean, I'm down.

If you had your choice between AW2 or World War III, which we don't know what it could be, it could be like super futuristic. We could go back to space. I'd say AW2. If a game is like World War II again, it'll be miserable. I mean, I was like in the AM scene at that point,

but still, but like it was literally spawning up, throwing your name like over and over. You should see those montage. Oh yeah. I got a World War II montage. Yeah. Half of it's keyboarded. Oh, is it?

Yeah. Is it on your YouTube? Oh yeah. Is that shit's popping? It's gross clips. It's uplisted. It's popping. It's popping.

Popping. It's popping. Yo, so they had a good idea about their 100, uh, roll to 100 and O, which is like they'll get to 99 and O and then play you two for the 100. Listen, they're playing us before that. Whether they know it or not, they're playing it. If we lose, we'll never bring it up.

But if we win, we're literally just going to be like, oh, you guys lost that sucks. Like, randomly. Are you guys going to use, like, random? No, we're going to, we already talked about it. Like, it's not going to be brand new accounts. Like, I'm going to talk to some dudes that have, like, like, a team, like, they're like eight and four. You know what I'm saying? Like, they're, like, believable.

And then we're just going to hop on their tag, just, like, mop them real quick because they're going to be, like, not expecting this to be good. Yeah. And then just going to join the T.S. be like, do we fucking long? Like, you guys ready to play? I'd be tilted. Yeah, that'd be fucked up.

So you'd think it'd be better if you knew who they were? I'd rather you do that right now. We'd get to like 50 or something. Yeah. They just come in. We waited until like 80 or something. 89 and no. That'd be fucked up.

The home stretch. Yeah. And we play them on ringers. That's in a best of one. Really trolling. They already get the jump. Like, they win first rotation. We're down 60s.

Yeah. We're like, what the fuck? They're trying to regain And we're just like We're accusing him of cheating On another account Just lighting him up Throwing Molly sat down

That's my favorite thing to do now They're like no, they're not cheating And then Would you be surprised if somebody Like smoke you guys Or would you immediately know I'd submit a ticket It's somebody, it's a pro

Yeah, I'd be in theater I'd be in theater to record proof Would you? Yeah I'd be tight Getting that dub one way or another Oh yeah, absolutely Who would throw it at the end of the event

Yeah, we got the dub for this. We haven't really played anyone like that nasty so far. No. It's not at all. When you guys play? But he gets Best 1, Search is going rogue sometimes. He'll just get a Best 1 search. We went, oh, wow.

He's got no trust. Like, I played 2 v.2s for years. I mean, with chances are we win, but in 1V1 or Best 1S and D, you never know. All right, so no World War II for you, or 3. You would take AW2. So the difference would be, obviously, jet packs versus not jackpacks, but it's still going to be in the future because World War. three hasn't happened yet so you don't mean like you got to remove World War

2 out of your brain when thinking about World War 3 yeah you don't mean it could they could do something crazy but you'd rather go with the devil you'd know that the devil you don't know and that's AW2 correct Seth AW2 a W2 yes any reasons I do not want another World War game okay as per did they ever have a conned world war one they did they ever have one world war one yeah well I were remember oh world at war it was fire the zombies were really good in that game dude unscoked Arasaka was an underrated game I love that game you can actually curve bullets play with bolt actions in that one wanted did you

will that work yeah absolutely no you did I swear it was my first God was was what was your favorite sniper it the PTRS oh yeah the one that just no that was the You shoot him in the leg and just flies off. Limbos. Limbos. Limbos? Wasn't there the Springfield? Yeah, it was a...

There's a Carnegie. The Japanese type, The Japanese one, I think, was the dopest one, which is the Arisaka. Are you looking at me? I don't know what it's called. No, I was looking at this direction. And that direction.

And it's being so soon. Anyway, all right, let's move on to the next topic. I mean, was talking about the DMCA and how, you know, music companies haven't gotten around to appreciating the value that, you know, a creator with a massive following brings to the table. And this has happened from the beginning, right? I remember even people like Jericho and Gold Glove and all these like old school YouTubers that used to, they used to say, why would the fuck would Activision with, you know, millions and millions of budget dollars a year pay you an influencer to promote the game that you're already going to play? Which is what they're doing now to begin with, right? So, Tucker, if you're watching this, you're fucking wrong, baby.

Okay. Anyway, so it's the same thing that's happened right now. Like, there is value to that, especially if you're up and coming, like, look at what happen to logic with Face Clan, right? Look at what happened, McElmore with Face Clan. Like, they used them in the montages. Like, millions of views count for something. You know what I mean?

Like, I know firsthand what it did for my friend, Matt Locke, when I used brand new Nikes on my montage. You know what I mean? He's like, dude, I've never had this much press. Like, I pay people to do press for me, and I've never had this much success in this thing. Like, my sales are through the roof. You know what I mean? So, I think that it is a matter of time before the DMC.

I mean, look, there's the music industry. They're a little bit behind in the times, I would say. Yeah, because, you know, they're still trying to figure out, you know, how to live in this digital realm, right? Like, they shot down Napster, right, because of the free music sharing. And then they went into, like, this sort of new thing with title. They went into something with Spotify. Pandora, I mean, you name it. Like, all these people are now giving them, like, you know, residual income in vivo on YouTube.

I don't know. I don't know what the answer is, but I do think that there needs to be a meat in the middle where if I upload a 10-second segment of my vlog that has music by someone, they should be able to monetize that. Or give me the opportunity to be like, hey, you want to split this half and half. Like, give me the opportunity. Because I am creating something. It's not all centered around that music industry.

You know what I mean? It's not centered around the music. But what I want to talk to you guys about is right before that, my man Tyler got put on blast sort of. Like he was trending because he wasn't talking shit. He was defending his passion for the game because he was taking serious and somebody else wasn't taking it serious. And I suffer from that because I'm not good enough of the game, but I'm still taking it very, very seriously at times when I'm not tired and I have eaten and all these different components. But do you get like that when you guys play your GBs? Like do you guys take it as serious as you would something else?

Sometimes. Yeah, sometimes. Probably not all the time. Like what pushes anyone, like we don't want to lose. It just seems like, you know, Ninja, whatever. He doesn't want to lose. And that's why he's, like, getting mad over that, which is like reasonable. Yeah, dude, what's with the United States of America?

What's with the world nowadays? It's like, oh, just have fun. Fuck, what happened to competition? What happened to beat and wanting to be the best and having that? If I'm playing a league match and somebody there isn't trying to start as I am, Don't play league. Like, this is supposed to be serious. You know what I mean?

Yeah, no, come in here with your trolly ass. People think it's, like, lame to be, like, a tryhard. Yeah. Like, back in the day, like, playing Halo 2, bro, like, if you want to try hard, like, you were just, you know what I'm saying? No one would even fucking. Like, yeah, like, yeah. It was all about try hard.

Yeah. Nowadays, it's different, though. I don't know what happened, but along the road somewhere, it was way cool to just be like, I don't get, like. I'm going hard, like. Yeah. What do you think, Brad? You take everything serious or are you out there, no scope it?

You know, I'm kind of in between, I don't know, so I'll let somebody else decide that. He's kind of like both, actually. I mean, it all depends on the, you got to read the room, you know. Go ahead. I'm outpaced. What do you say? He's just got to blow us nose. Oh, you got to read the room. You know, if everyone else is going hard, you better be going fucking hard.

If everyone else is trolling, then I guess it's like, it's like, it's how eights are all the time. It's like, contagious. Like, whatever, if someone's going to step up and start, like, going hard off the rip, you're going to like, I mean, even our scrimms. Even our scrims sometimes, like, if one person starts trolling and we're just like, yeah, this. isn't helping us then we'll just start trolling. Yeah, it's Seth usually. Yeah, it's probably. Is it really, dude?

Yeah, can you believe him? No. I think I'm not the maturist. I am. I'm the most mature. 26. 26, you're 25? 25 and a half.

I'm the most mature if I want to be. I think you want to be. If you want, so am I. And I could be the most immature. Yeah. Usually. You know what I mean? Like, it's a nice switch to hat.

It's like, yeah, I'm serious, but I'm also fun. Look, I'm still hip. Yeah, I'm hip. No cap. I'm still hip. Oh, God. We're just viving. I'm with the times.

Dude, you should hear what this guy says about Troy. He's not just vibing. Maybe who? You. I mean, I don't say you about Troy. He tells him he's going to oil him up in a cage naked and make a fight for his survival. Is that true? If I've been pan in that day, then Mike go down that.

Troy can get oiled up for sure. That's not on me, though. No, it's not him. That's his own fault. It's his move. It's like boss in his court. You've said, you put it off. Yeah, I said it to him and he's like, oh, hell yeah.

And I'm just like, hey, we're just vibing. Is that what it is? And also, it's kind of the panda taking the wheel. Yeah, panic could take the rain sometimes. Yeah. You eat panda on a bad day. Chalked. Have you, have any of you played war zones since it came out?

Yeah, I played it one time in the tournament. Did you even bother streaming that? Huh? Did you even bother streaming that? No, I didn't know. I looked for your stream that day, and I did five days. I was actually piecing. I was watching Blake stream.

You were going on. I said I was watching Blake stream you were going hard yeah I was actually dropping like 20 wait why did you turn your stream on I was just no confidence I was like I was like if I get smoked I'm not streaming this shit oh my god he was afraid he was getting bounced out I was like don't even we we actually didn't do like bad we got 10th we needed to get top eight to advance we got 10th that's all then yeah we didn't do like that bad there was there was 19 teams I think shit so we were like middle of the pack It's better than I thought you'd do.

Yeah, I haven't played war zone and freaking... It is different. It is... There is a massive difference between it. Oh, yeah. Yeah, the motor right now is crazy, though. Yeah. They're doing weapon tuning scene, right?

Yeah, if we hopped on war zone right now with the meta, we would like be lost. Just because like, it's all cold war. The DMR is just stupid. They're weapon tuning tomorrow. Pretty sure. The mass of... Is it all cold war guns, though, for like the meta? Yeah.

They all instiguel. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe it's just like different, like, the way they feels diModis. I mean, everything, wait, is that happening today? The update? Tomorrow. Tomorrow.

Thursday. Well, that's not the only thing that's going on. I just found out through this note, Pat, and the research that we did right before this, that there is a companion app for Warzone, which allows you to run this parallel to launching your game. And before you even launched a game, it gives you a list of all 100 and whatever players that are in there and tells you everything about them. Have you heard about it? Their favorite food. Yeah, I've seen videos.

And it's nuts. People just go in and you can look like the average KD the lobby. And if it's like too high, you just leave and go to a better lobby. If you're trying to drop like world record kills or whatever. And again, that's why I said last week that Warzone is in a competitive game. Well, I think it's so much food. I think it can be. There's so much.

So much for gays. There's like reverse boosters. Campaign. Me, it doesn't talk to about this. There is a lot of. The router thing is like the most crazy thing to me. Because I heard that companion nap got nerved or like they changed it. But that's something.

So small to what like half of these actually not I want to get into it. No, go ahead. Get into it. But half of these content creators, some of them are sketchy as fuck, bro. I've talked about this. Like some of them are like there are some things they do that. Like if you go in depth at it and you actually break it down like you'll be like damn like these guys. Yeah.

Like 100% people look at different monitors. Yeah. Like people like literally radar. Clutch situation. You're not looking at your monitor. You're playing it perfectly off where them have daddy would gross. But you're magically making the right play. every single time you never get shot in the back in RNG BR like something's not right there

about that shit though with like people mess with the routers and getting like yeah yeah the net dumas yeah we talked about that last week like that that shit's like geolocation like what we seals you can't even like prove someone's doing that and that just chalks up any like competitive integrity for me at least i'm like how do i'm supposed to know if the guy i'm playing against in tournament is doing that you don't yeah right so how do i know they're not reverse boosting yeah and then it's like everyone's mindset too nowadays is if he's doing it i'm gonna do it yeah and then so now it's like Now you've got everyone doing it. It's probably just infested.

You know what I'm interested? Oh, I've seen, like, people that I know that are, like, very credible, like, upstanding, you know, good competitive players, they're like, I'm fucking getting one. Like. But you can't, yeah, at that point, you can't help it, right? Because you have, you have these natural, you know, gifted people who are actually good at the game that would love to compete on an evil, on an level playing field. But here you're, on an evil playing field.

On an evil level playing field. and then you have these little jackass cheating losers. Yeah. That I don't understand. Like, it's the internet. You can't get away with shit on the internet. You know what I mean? Like, you will get caught.

It's only a matter of time of you getting caught. And then your career is like, for real, super over. And that's what it is. Well, you can tell, too, like, who would do, like, sketchy shit and who wouldn't. Like, you can just tell. Name them. No, no, no. I would name it.

No, I'm not going to name them. But, like, you can tell, like, who's. Tell me after the podcast. Can let's compare notes? I got clips, bro. But you can tell, for the most part. Not always, but. Yo, me, Hitch, and Mboz have a, have a threat.

I'm like, yo, you see this shit? And then Boz's like, yeah, he cheated. He hasn't even opened it. He's a yay, he's a cheating. It's just hard, hard to understand. But this companion app, like, I think that this sort of application, like, is helpful, but not in situations, like, in competitive situations where it is. I think that maybe a companion app to give you more information about your own stuff, like that is useful.

Other people share like obviously like that, that affects the competitive scene. But from a analytical standpoint, the more you know, the more data you have, like the better in my opinion. So I don't know. The next topic that we're moving on to is the one that kind of got me a little bit hot and bothered. And by that I mean excited. By that I was like, oh, shit, call duty makes $2.5 billion in 2020. Wait, somebody said the 1.5 in the last month? Who said that?

No, it was 700 in the last two months for Cold War. 700 million? Million. Million. Okay. Damn. 700 billion in two months. That's

That's great. That's a shit ton of money, though. It's a lot of money with no anti-cheet. What? What did you say? It's a lot of money with no anti-cheet. Yeah. That is, that is, well, we don't know where it's going.

Obviously, like, it's a mass. massive corporation that, you know, with people that get paid, what they're supposed to be getting paid demand, you know, according to the market demands. But there should be some of that allocated to two things, in my opinion, right? Anti-cheat, like, right away. Because I'm going to tell you exactly what's going to happen, in my opinion, just as a spectator. What's going to happen is that we're going to get into the competitive, into the competitive season of Call of Duty.

And without an anti-cheet, we're not going to know who's who. And unless Activision is prepared to send over a referee, two referees to every single location where players are going to be playing out of and forces every single compete continues to not force, but make it mandatory for players to compete out of the same thing. Someone's going to be like, I don't believe this shit. You know what I mean? Let's go back to PlayStation. Right? And then we're going to have to flip the entire thing back to PlayStation because PlayStation is the only time where you can, you know, actually feel comfortable enough to be like, yeah, there's nothing shady going on in here. You know what I mean?

And this league is founded on the competition, right? On the integrity of the competition. And if we can't have that sort of clarity or confidence in the fact that everything is being played the way that it should, something's got to give. We just can't have that in Call of Duty. We've worked on this for 12, 14 years. Then you also have scan and repair. Scan and repair.

Salarie. Cary cap Last night I was like Yo, Hector, I want to fucking raise He's like We're at the salary cap

I started singing Salary Cats The whole night He's just singing that All through the night But no seriously though Scanor repair Like if that's still a thing

He gets it all the time Whoa Whoa not me recently It's been you two Get in the most Well no we get it We don't get it in game though ever Yeah you guys

Well he's been going to fucking after every single After games. Yeah, we get it in like the stat screen. Okay, that's good then. But but like what if what if people are getting scan repair during tournaments? Yeah, what happens there? I do. I don't know. They better they better fucking fix that shit. I mean, when we blue screened like that was a whole mess like on PS4. Yeah, sometimes you get the win sometimes you get the lost. Wait, did I? Wait, wait, wait, when? Well, it wasn't blue screen. Oh yeah. I started raging. I was like what the fuck? I said, Seth,

And then the lady, the last one, made me do it. So she's like, all right, grab as much liquid as you can out of the back of your nose. And I'm like, there's no liquid in there.

There's some bullshit. No more Blockely because it starts fights. Got you. Bro, it was delicious. The pistachio ones? Yeah, those are fine. Look at me.

Like, I'm supposed to know. I was trying it. You didn't have any? They were here. I tried one, but Brandon didn't know what it was in it. So I didn't know what I was eating.

No, no, I didn't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what the other one was. There's like, the sweet one.

So the other two are better. The cubes are good. The rolls are the best and the postage ones are like more snackable. Yeah, they're like more like you feel healthier eating it's like no you know you don't Not like you know you went through a mission to get him here though I want to try it he did you could have just shipped them this dude Bro he's like he's like he's like bro I've been carrying this for eight hours he gives it to me Oh my god just walking across it was a lot of airports is literally bro that's your carry on bro my mom's my mom's asked me to do that before too she's like oh my gosh I'm like what I went to my extra she's like bring back some tortillas I'm like I'm not bringing back no

tortillas. I'm just go to the store. Like, that's just like something that I just don't do. Anyway, looking forward to it or what? I mean, yeah, I mean, for the most part, like, obviously, like, I love living back home, but, like, when you just get joked over and over online. Does something to them. It does.

It switches up your mindset. And then, because I've been playing on, like, 70, 75 ping, like, pretty much every scrim because every host for the most part is in Texas. And then just for, like, that specific reason, like, that's enough for me to move, bro. Like, anywhere like 100 plus last year in Cali? Oh, my goodness. 100 plus ping every time we're getting smoked in every scrimmed. What are we doing wrong?

I mean, I don't know. 100 ping. I mean, they can start there. No, we're not rotating. Do they not have fiber? Or does that not matter? They don't. They actually don't have where I live.

It was only kids. There's so many people that live in Cali. How are they going to give fiber to everybody? I mean, like everyone's outside. There was a certain spot that you can get fiber, but it was like 10 minutes away from where I live. Yeah, it's the Google headquarters. Oh, my God. 10 minutes away?

Fuck. I mean, you can just have to get another house over there. Oh, yeah, that is true. No, but fiber doesn't really do anything in like Cali because you're just so far from everyone. Yeah, it wouldn't help that much. Like, even if you have fiber, I have fiber where I live. Still 75 ping in Texas. Like, what does fiber even do?

Who? Just more stable. Fiber allows for your digestive tract to allow for a most smooth transition from processing the food. Anyway, you really stop with it. Thank you, thank you. I was gonna, fuck, I lost my turn. Why did you ask me about fiber? So you just, you moved here.

You've been here for a year almost? Yeah, a year.
