Okay, Tony? Yep. Sure. I was doing my thing. Everyone said I got carrot. Dude, what? I was doing my part, man. Never mind, Tony.

These are respectable. Ken had two more kills from you there. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to episode 190 of the Optic Podcast, brought to you by Shopify and Cash App. My name is Tony. This is other Tony. Hey, Tony has pets. They're pecks. I've been back in the gym.

They're becoming more. Are they? They're type of. You're whitening up finally. How much you've been back in the gym? Like five days a week. That's pretty good. Yeah, I've been trying my best, man.

Five days a week is... Sana. Five days a week is hard. Yeah, it's a lot. You've got to be in rhythm to go five days a week. That's pretty impressive. Will you take pre-work out or no? Yeah, I take pre now.

There's a... Called, like, Gainful. It's like... You ever do those things where you do like a survey for, like, vitamins? It's like the same thing for fitness. And then they come back and there's crack in those vitamins? No. There's cocaine.

No, it's not vitamins. It's like... He's been absolutely fucking... It's like a customized protein powder. Yo, actually, we were talking about it the other day. There used to be a pre-workout on the market called Jack 3D. And I used to take it back in... I don't remember.

It was between when I was like 15 and 18 years old, but it was called Jack 3D. And inevitably, it came back. They had to FDA recall it. There was literally methamphetamine in the pre-workout. That's why you felt fucking twisted. I felt crazy. Like, when you were taking it and it was just like in GNC, like you could just... go by that shit.

I felt like I could run through a wall. My skin was crawling. I was like, bro, I was like, yo, this shit is crazy. That's like the best and worst feeling. When you're tingling and you're lifting, well, that's beta al-9. That's a different agreement. When I took it at the top of my head would tingle.

Like, I feel like right at the top of my head. I'm like, I'm like, I'm here to work out. Let's box. Seriously, that shit would have you running through a wall. Oh, that's crazy. Are you still running? Yeah, no, actually. It's probably better now that's cooling up, right?

Yeah. I mean, I got like the small 10, you can kind of tell. I can't imagine the 105 degree running. I can't even run when it's like 85. But like it makes it easier running in this weather though. Like running in that environment, like to this is just day and then. Yeah, it's probably chill. It's like, it feels like perfect. But let's talk about the beta a little bit.

Just ended weekend number one. What do you guys think about the game overall? Money Mark didn't play with us once. I literally got to the time. You're pathetic. What? You want me to just? Like, all right, so I didn't play with you once, right?

Yeah. How do you want me to, like, what's the, how do we communicate? Or you want me to just join your game and say, yeah, I'm down to play. You could come in the chat, and if we have a room, just literally pop into chat. You can text any of us. Or text us. You can join this board, which is. I got to the next rank and then I was like, back to the hell.

I mean, bro. Just say you got bored. You're not going to lie. Don't put it on us. Say you got bored. The last like, dude, I just looked to you without your glasses. I would say day and a half I started to get like a little burnt out. The last day and a half.

after like four hours I was like all right now I'm starting to hit the wall I think it's amazing I think it's amazing I think I think it's fluid the movement is actually amazing I think TTK the jackal obviously needs to be nerfed a bit

TTK I feel like could be a little tiny bit longer like maybe like a hair longer because I feel like it's a little too quick right now I'd like to see it like closer to Cold War I think skyline's a competitive map I can see Darylick Todd point

Scud's competitive No it's not I know I'm trolling Oh Scud No Scud and then Rewind I'm curious Because I feel like rewind

4B4 might end up being like a competitive map To be fair though You never know how a map's gonna play competitively until you play 4B4 On that map You just played subbase brother No one saw that coming

Yeah You never know how it's gonna play Until you actually try that Subbase Like that layout is just so weird Think of it Bro it's so dark and I do hope the maps are good, though, because it does seem like they're going from, like, dark blue.

Because these four-by-four maps that they're coming out with is, like, very, like, I don't know, they just seem like small. Yeah, bro, the map that comes out tomorrow, what's it called again? Wait, is the beta back tomorrow? Yeah, because back tomorrow. What's that map called? It's like a temple. Do you remember what it's called from Babylon? Babylon.

Babylon. That comes back tomorrow, that map is, like, fucking tiny. So that kind of. That map is so small. That codnex. Wait, is it the one in the cave? No, that, no, that's the. Now remember the stairs leading up?

There's like four different stairs that lead up to the middle. You remember that, bro. A Codnext. It's the map where like there's like a tiny statue in the middle and there's four steps, four different staircases leading up to the center.

Well, I can't even remember this. Baby Lahn. I don't know. Oh yeah, yeah, that one. Oh my God. Wait, yeah. Is that a 44 map? Yeah, that comes out,

it comes out tomorrow and that's like one of the... That's an example because like they're catering to like 44. But like, bro, I'm not gonna lie. These 44 maps are like small as fuck. Well, they said that at Cod Next they were like, we're doing only small.

to medium maps, the game is not launched with any large maps. So, like, there's none at launch, which I think... It's going to be a bang out. It depends on what they mean by large. Every map is going to be vocage. Bang out. Three subs, one they are. The game's fast, too.

The game is like, it's fast. Like small, small medium maps with this speed. Oh, these are all the launch maps. I didn't even know this was out yet. Oh, really? Interesting. Hold on. Okay, well, stake out. Okay, so all of the maps on the bottom are strike maps, though.

So those don't really even count towards the map pool. Oh, so there's only... Wait, you said they're what maps? So Sandhouse, Steakout, Gala, and Pitt are all like those small-ass strike maps where you don't get to use score streaks on. Oh, okay, okay, okay. And then the other 12 are, like, actually in the map. Just based on the thumbnail, I'm thinking... Payback looks like a nice competitive map.

Yo, is that standoff? Is that a standoff baby? It looks like a standoff dupe. Lowtown looks like a hotel dupe. That looks like it's in Venice Hotel. The good thing about Traerck, though, is like, I think they'll do anything to make it work for competitive. Like you can just tell, like, I've been talking to the devs and I'm not even competing anymore.

Like, they actually care what the competitive community thinks. Well, last year, I feel like we got to give props to Sledgehammer a little bit because they did, I mean, dude, imagine if those DLC maps weren't a thing last year and we were playing fucking Skid Row Hardpoint at champs or terminal hard point at champs? Ultra would have loved that. Would you have been losing your fucking line?

Wait, wait, Subbase is DLC? No, no. Subbase wasn't, but like six star, I mean, Rio. Yeah. Yeah. Like all those maps were all the L.C. No, lookie looking back at that shit, like those maps actually saved us. No, dead ass. But we had no submaps. We had Terminal, subbase, and then there's one other one.

Invasion, we were playing with four ARs. Terminal was. It was crazy. Dead ass, like, saved the year. Yeah, I actually did. Yeah, I mean, there's holding crosses. We got to give props to Sledgehammer last year because, again, they implemented good, like, new, good, fresh DLC maps. The camos, they kept coming out with camos the whole year.

Operators, like, they did. a good job with the mid-year, like, roadmap. Like, they did a very good job. I've always listened. When it comes to competitive, it's Trajark Sledge, and then there's a bit of a drop-off before Infinity Award. Sledgehammer's made good games. AW obviously, like, change the game in a sense. World War II, once again, I will die on the hill. That competitively, that was a great game, which is very dull-looking. It was just, if that game had some color, I think it'd be received

differently. We're also playing CTF, too, which, like, you either love or hate CTF as a were. As a competitor, I've always loved it, but, like, I understand that it could be boring to watch. What do you think of Omni Movement? That's just got, like, that shit. That's just really so good. You love it? Yeah. The only thing I brought, I kind of messed up, because I didn't turn off the sprint insist. So I don't know, like, how easy it is with Omni Movement, because I was legit, like, sliding backwards, sideways, like, all that stuff. So I don't know how it is, like, without it.

I think we used Sprint Assist, right? I don't think I did. but I'm like... What does Sprintesis do? Doesn't it like just... It keeps you sprinting even if you're not clicked in on it? There's two options.

So there's ATS, which I've never liked ATS because I like walking and like I hate the fact that if I move forward ATS, I have to like lift it. I hate that. So I never use ATS because of that. Yeah. But I think there's two.

I think there's ATS assist and then there's sprint assist. So essentially, if you want ATS, you still need to tap it again. But if you just go forward, it starts your sprint if that makes sense. Like you don't have to hold it in the sprint. So if there's, yeah, then I, I think I had, I think I had spread to CISTA.

Yeah, I don't, I was new. I think I had that on too. Because, like, I would be moving, like, side to side without actually, like, clicking in my left stick. Like, I would just be, like, strafing. Okay, that's what I had. Yeah, left to right. And then you can, like, dive off of that.

Yeah. The jump, aim, slide mechanic is crazy. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You just, like, glider on the map, and you can go instantly into the drop shot, and it looks like you're, you're in a missionary when you're in the drop shot, because you're laying down like this looking forward. That shit's so. Like a beating in the clutch

You're just back against the corner You can see everything You're like No one's reading that shit I guess what I'm saying It's about to be crazy Did he just have his back? Oh yeah

The meat shield mechanic Is probably my favorite thing They've added to Call Duty in like forever That's pretty cool The fact that I like that The fact that I can just come from behind someone And just take them hostage And then it activates game chat

Can you imagine at the pro level Right? Could you imagine you take fucking Ernie hostage And you're just whispering to scrap your neck's long and your shit and you're killing his teammates while holding them

that would be a layer hopefully they add it in hopefully they don't like I don't think you can disable that yeah you can you can you can oh you can I had my voice disabled and some guy Oh no no voice but you can't disable like the actual

No no you can't disable that But some guy came into my chat after and he's like dude I got you And I was trying to fucking troll Oh man I was like who knows what this fuckers day Like people trying to get up behind you and shit Oh yeah they

I mean they like specifically go for it to try to like make a clip we were doing it at codnex we were trying to stun the last person and just embarrassed someone i got joe whoa he got joe well the movement king why you say it like that he was the moving king what i said no trying to make it something that's not why did you say it like that and smile at my oh jo's the man he was the movement king you know why can do that oh red key joe i didn't even think i didn't even put it together like that but now the beta was dope i can't believe it comes back tomorrow Yeah, it comes back. I think it's I think it's live for what three more days also also tomorrow. I mean do we have a pretty packed a pretty packed weekend we got beta and HCS Salt Lake so oh wow. Yeah, HCS Salt Lake starts tomorrow. Oh sure. Damn.

I mean I believe that's the last that's the last tournament before champs. So we got a pretty crazy I might do my 24 hour on Sunday. We'll see. I still haven't locked it in yet. I still haven't locked it in yet. 24 hours 24 hours 24 hours. 24 hours. Dude, that shit. I'm going to be a zombie. What are you playing? Like a certain game during? Well, I was planning on doing like wake up, because I'll be up at like 6 a.m. Right?

So I'll be up at 6 a.m. That's when I'm starting. So I'll wake up at like 5. So start at 6, do like 7, 8 hours of the beta before HCS, watch party HCS for like the next 6 to 7. And then after that, just play either Eldon Ring or Wu Kong. And in between all that, I'll be doing like giveaways and stuff like that. You might get angry.

Huh? If you're playing like hour 17 Eldon Ring, you might get sold. Oh, I might be fucking going. But you're also better than Nate Schott. Like, I'm watching Nate Schott. I'm like, brother, get off. Nate shot yesterday was 12 hours in. He died to the same boss, 204 times.

What? I'm like, Matt, get off. 400 times? Get off. He's like, oh, man, I just saw him. I'm like, you got to stop. And I saved him. I was like, yo, optic fantasy drafts in 20.

He was like, I forgot about that. And he got off. Oh, that's why he got off? Yeah. I told him he could have done it on stream. He's like, no, I got to get off. NFL starts today Yeah, I'm super hype

Dude, when I hear that fucking I'm gonna look at it is With the most fucking disturbing face I'm gonna have a disturbing face When I look at it is tonight Dude, it's a banger too Chiefs, Chiefs Ravens She's been playing it on TikTok

She's like, does this make you feel anything? And I'm like, yes I keep getting like the nostalgic TikToks It has like the NFL theme song then it's like a fall candle there's like chili on the stove I'm just like wow there's nothing better

your gassy ass yeah no he's been saying he's been eating chili and that's a danger well how come it's cheese versus raven's like with their right crackers so saltines or something

oh my godlike do you know the answer to that I think they just want to kick it off for the bang he asked why it's Chiefs Ravens game one just prior to they usually always have the Super Bowl winner

to kick off oh really yeah oh shit I should didn't know that yeah I didn't know that either at least I'm pretty sure, right? I'm pretty sure they always have the Super Bowl winner in game one. That would make sense. Yeah, that would make sense. But I can't wait for the first. Like, I'll look it up really hard.

Like Thursday night's like sick. Obviously we get football back, but it's only one game. Sunday is going to be like, like we're going to wake up on Sunday and know that we have to do nothing all day but watch football. Nate shots now in town. All the boys been hanging out. Yeah, Nate shots officially now here in Texas. It's been, he hosted the other night college football. It was the USCLSU game. They usually have the Super Bowl winner first game. That makes sense. And then they just throw like a good opponent, like the Ravens, yeah. Like that's like a banger game to kick off the season.

That is a banger. No, I was just saying how Sunday is going to be extravagant going forward. With Nate Schott now in Texas, we have not one, but two hosting houses now up. We can alternate. No, just one. I'm not hosting this year. At all? Nope. Okay. So Nate Schott's house only. No, I'm completely kidding. We're going to host. But I definitely need some assistance because the other person in our

neighborhood with a hosting house decided to never host. Hector. Hector has a great, Hector hosted one time in 2018 when I was a player for Optic. And it was amazing. It was awesome. I would just, I would just under his waterfall. I think I was smoking so back down. Now it always falls to me. And, you know, it's a big responsibility. But people are pretty respectful. They clean up. So I don't really mind hosting. But whenever people like don't clean up, that shit sucks. Well, no, there's like two different types of hangouts. You have the normal, everyone leaves with a respectable time.

Then you have rage cage. And as soon as that happens, it's done. Because people are blacked out. They're spilling beer. AG's walking around, just, but his chest out. You know, AG actually hit me up. Not really that recently, but he was like, yo, when are we playing rage cage? He's on a world tour, dude.

I was like, dude, you need to relax. Monaco. Yo, what are we playing rage cage is great. Literally, that's all he said. It was when are we playing rage cage? He's not coming home. That's funny, dude. Is he still on vacay?

Brother, yeah, he's in Monaco right now. Really? He's every, it is hilarious. He's the funniest guy to spectate for me. Because he just, he's going on a world tour. I don't know how you can do that, bro. Because, like, bro, when I was in Saudi, like, I was like, yo, I need to get out of here, dude. Like, he went from Saudi to, like, I think, Barcelona to what, Monaco?

I'm not sure. I think, I think, I think you're like, because you guys are, like, competing. So he ran into my boys from Jersey. Yeah. He did just in Saudi, like, Spain. That is true. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, that is true.

Because that came from, yeah, yeah, yeah. Did they ran it to? It's like leaving a tournament to go. Now, where you went was lit though? It looks in thin and the food looks fucking. I love that. He's living life, but I love that. You got to travel while you're young, man.

I need to, I need to travel more. Like, what is the odds of that actually? I'm slacking. What? My boys that came from Jersey to champs, they ran into A.G. In Spain. No. I'm serious.

That's actually crazy. I'm like, what the fuck? They went to Spain after? Yeah. Yeah, and they ran into EG. Your boys? Yeah. What?

She was weird. I'm just like picture and I have like a visual of AG. I'm just like, if I ran into him in Spain and I saw him, I just know what I'd see. He's wearing designer glasses. He has like a designer fanny pack on. He's walking around with designer shoes, Dior trunks. Like I just, I can see him as the tourist right now. So, yo, let's get some kebabs, bro.

Let's go get some food. That kid loves it, man. Good for him, though. Brandon's back in Canada. where you're from California, right? Yeah. But everyone's here now?

And your family all here now? Oh, okay, so you don't really go back to California. What part of California are you from? Medessa, it's like near, near like the Bay Area kind of. Oh, for real? Oh, shit. Yeah, they aren't shit to do with Medesa, I'll tell you that. Damn, I didn't know that.

The coolest shit is going to the movies. That's the coolest shit though. Oh, you're Chino? Yeah, literally. So, like, Texas is a better look here. I think I lose. They always got to do it. They always got the beaches, but bro, like, the beaches over there are dog shit.

I go to the beach and, like, there's that, that seatweed shit everywhere. Really? Yeah, you can't even, like... Dude, I'll fight with the beach, man. Especially on the East Coast. Wait, you don't like attacks? Seas? Shark attacks, big ass sharks.

You're fine, man. One shark, four people. You'll never catch me in the beach. It doesn't matter. Even a lake. You'll never catch me going on a lake. A lake's different. I'm in a lake.

Really? I'm in the lake. I'm not in that shit, dude. Why? You never know, dude. Water. Oxins are all you got to look out for in the lake, but they're usually more scared of you than they are of them until one of them squares up. No, we were in Italy.

Where? We were in Italy. Yeah, but that's only because they had the anti-shark, Kate, like the anti-shark. No, bro. I saw TikTok, no bullshit. They were, like, on a vacation. And, like, you could kind of, like, it was, like, clear water. And they were doing, like, a video, right?

And they were, like, three, two, one jump. But they're holding each other. But, like, they thought the other significant other was going to, like, jump. So, like, they, like, stood. And they both didn't jump, right? Five seconds later, they legit see a shark right exactly where they're about to jump. Isn't that crazy? That could be like, what is it?

Photoshop though. Or like editing. Oh, really? Yeah, no, like, you know that one video? There's one, there's one like super like, they're like cliff jumping and they jump off and there's a great white shark like right when they. Oh. That one's fake. That one's fake.

Yeah. Yeah, people, I mean, Loki, I thought the, you remember that one video where like the girls just singing and there's like a polar bear like chasing her. You've seen that one? Hell no. You've never seen that? I haven't been in the depth of the talk in a while, dude. TikTok.

For those that know that that shit is crazy, but I'm pretty sure it's like... Yeah, I haven't been on that shit in a minute. Optic Night was dope. Optic Night was dope. Why didn't you throw the first pitch, man? No, honestly, next year I'm down. This year, I don't know why I didn't.

Honestly, I don't know why. You can't say that. You can't just be like next year I'm down. It just happened. It just didn't really, too. It was also against the game. the Yankees. Like, it's just a different...

Wait, wait, I honestly, me and Seth should have done it how you and Seth did it. Or you and Hector did it. No, you and Brandon should have done it. Or yeah, actually, well, Brandon's not here, though. Or me and Kent should have done it. Yeah, someone from... You guys should have done that.

Nah, I'm not for that. See, that would be lit. Brother, you had to... They would have been like, and here's Shotsie! You had to be like... I would have sprinted at judge and be like, sure, sir, you got to shake my head. Yeah, I would have ran off...

Thank you for what you're doing for New York City. They would have been like, watch him yeah 100% I mean judge I mean judge I saw him running up Judge you got a big boy

coming your way sprinting full speed that guy's like 6 8 James said to me we were watching the like them line up for the national anthem judge is just towering over

his team he's 6 7 that guy lives a life in New York City he walks to any restaurant to go get that man at table you need to fucking leave I feel like you

overestimate much they go out though. I bet you they don't go out because their life is like it's so chaotic when they do go out. I bet you they don't. It's just back door stuff. If he goes, if he's going to a restaurant, he's in the, in the back door in a private room out the back door, if you, if you're like a high profile Yankee in New York City, you can't just, you can't go anywhere. He can't just walk the street and go shopping. It's not, there's no way. No. I don't know. Him, he's like, he's not just a high profile. He's probably not him. He sticks out. Yeah. But he sticks out, but I'm sure some of them could. Some of them could throw a hat on and

It's not really like... I don't know. I don't know, dude. I don't know. Like, imagine Brace Harper walking through. Well, I guess he's not a Yankee, but... It's like him trying to walk through champs would have had on. Him.

He'd get through. You think so? I don't know. No, no. Oh, him. No, not me. He was talking about you. Oh.

No, not him. He's good. What? I can walk around with no hat. I don't need a fucking hat. My God, that is fucking go. What else? What else?

We got Verdansk is back. I might have to come back for the one time. Verdanse is. I talked with Verdance. I think they fucked up, though. They should have dropped that shit at launch at Kodnex. Like, we should have, like, if we played Verdansk at Kod Next, it would have went crazy. Yeah.

Like, I don't know. It's probably not done yet. That's, yeah, but like, how? I don't really get that. Area 99 map, that shit did not look done. No, but that map was dope. I liked playing that map. Did you like that map?

Yeah. That was fun. I thought it was dope, but it's not like done. You could tell the textures and shit, like it's not like 100%. Yeah, that sort of felt like playing it. But I bet you Verdan's, I mean, Verdan's, what, probably 10 times bigger than that? So it's like, or nine, however, they probably, it's probably not even finished yet. I can't wait.

Yeah, that'll be lit. I can't wait for my dance. I can't remember the OG like Verdance. Like, because like, brother's been so many different, like. I remember like it was yesterday. Yeah? Really? Yeah, because you had super stored and then like those two, those two buildings across from it

where you had the ladders that go up into those balconies. They're sniping. Yep. Verdanz, Verdanz was a blast. Like, like, stadium area. Like, I don't know that stadium area without, like, stadium. I love Verdantz. Like, was there even a stadium in that?

Yeah, stadium member, wasn't your face on the stadium? Could you guys won champs? Well, yeah, yeah, but I'm saying, there's different, like, versions of the stadium, is or not? I have no idea. But there's, like, that broken one. Once you play, once you drop in, I feel like it's going to come back to you like that, though. Yeah, yeah, true.

Like, once you're actually on it, I know, I know what I'm doing here. That's just going to be like riding a bite. It's going to be like. It's going to be like riding a bike. Rank play releasing around launch is also big news. See, do we like that? It's the earliest it's ever been. So I think it's early season one.

The earlier it launches, the earlier it dies. You've got to think about it like that. Because people are going to play the shit out of it. Dude, the only thing that matters is cheaters. As long as, if it's a good system and there's no cheaters, it's going to do well. When we spoke about this before and you explained like how the schedule is, I kind of like how it keeps the game. Yeah.

You know what I'm saying? But. But they say around. launch. It would be cool, though. They said early season one. Whatever that means. That's usually like a month and a half, two months after launch.

It's going to be early. Once again, it can be the best, it can be the best rank play ever. If cheaters ruin it, it cheaters ruin it. There's always no way around it. If I were to guess when it's going to be, I would say it's probably going to be after New Year's sometime, like maybe the second week of January, like maybe around the CDL launch, whenever that is. But I think Trey Arc knows what's going on.

Like, they even said, I think their rewards are going to be good. And that's important because you need good reward, you need good progression, you need people to want to feel like they're playing a competitive product every day. That's why Valoran, I think, is so successful. I'm addicted to Valorant because it's like I feel like I'm ranked properly and you actually feel like the satisfaction you get from climbing and winning games is so high. Like Cod needs that and once again, cheaters will make or break it. If it's like MW3, I enjoyed MW3 ranked and cheaters just made us never play the game again. So it's kind of make a break When it comes to a rank system The years always typically come out around season

The second season that ranked is out It's usually like the second season When it starts going to shit Or not the second Probably actually no First season's good Second season's good It's usually the third season

When shit starts going downhill And it becomes like unplayable And through all this news There's nothing on Topping Hackers and shit No one's heard anything about that What? And I said through all this news

No one's heard like anything about how they're going to anti-chee or whatever? So they have ricochet and that's never changed and I think that's what it is. I'm not sure if they constantly try and improve ricochet. All I know is that they really have to try and do a better job. I'm not, I don't want to sound ignorant

because I don't really know what goes into like being an anti-cheat. I'm not sure if it's that easy to just like do, you know what I mean? Because I'm pretty sure like there's so many different ways to cheat. Now there were some cheaters in the beta. We played against a couple. We played against a couple cheaters in the beta. A couple blatant ones, dude. They're, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, not putting his wallers.

There was a few, like, blatant wallers in my chats. Oh, my gosh, I was tweaking. They were like, dude, he's not cheating. I was like, bro, look at the fucking clip. They don't understand the centering. They don't understand the centering. They don't understand the centering. You know the staircase on Skyline when you're coming to piano?

Like, right, that staircase. He was behind that. Traced me. I came, like, from the pool. Traced me, like, through the wall, through the pool. And then I, like, jump chowd it. And he, like, just traced it the whole time. It was insane.

I was like, bro, if you don't think this kid's cheating. Like, you're never going to think anyone's cheating. No, some people just, like, hate when streamers accuse people are cheating, and they're like, he was the only person I cues it. I don't know why. It's a weird phenomenon. Dude, he was literally the only person I accused, the whole beta, and he was 100% hacking. Like, him and his teammate.

It was two of them. They both dropped, like, 35 in a TDM, and we were like, what the fuck? Wait, is there a Minecraft movie coming out? Yeah, that shit looks literally a dog shit. A Minecraft. Yeah, but it doesn't matter because it has Minecraft in the name. and have every kid in the world lined up to see that movie. Minecraft is a worldwide phenomenon.

Oh shit, there's a trailer. Wait, it doesn't look good you said it? You've never seen it? No, I haven't seen this. Wait, all right, be honest. You guys think it's mid too? Because I think it's mid. Okay, I'll let you know.

I thought that was you for a second. Yeah, I literally thought, wait, what the fuck? Wait, do redo that. Oh, they should have animated it. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Yeah, hell no, it's live action. Yep. What the fuck?

I do love him, though. Fucking Aquaman. Now kids are going to love this, though. Oh, 100%. Oh, Jack Black's in it. That is you. There's something playing behind there. I think it's going to be sick just because it's fucking Minecraft.

It's going to do well because it's Minecraft. Yo, Aunt loves that. You know, Aunt loves that shit. Where's the dragon at? I actually I'm like that Yeah It's loving this shit

Wait you guys They redid They redid Sonic Huh? Remember like The first Sonic trailer came out And they were like

This is bad Like these guys look awful They redid it Now it's like One of the most Anticipated movies coming out Yep It actually looks dope

The new trailer Really? Yeah But the first one was like I don't see Where are you guys Seeing these trailers Just on Twitter?

Yeah Yeah Yeah The first one's bad And fucking What you're like Oh yeah, look at this, look this. The left was the first Sonic, and they were like, are you guys serious?

That's Sonic? That Sonic looks like he's on fucking crystal. Yo, that's crystal meth Sonic. Yeah, he does look like he's been out on the street. He does, right? Yeah. The new one looks better. Yeah, now it looks sick.

Now the new one's actually got like the old one, I don't know who the fuck they came with. We should go see it. I'll take an edible and just go see it. You tweeted about it when you saw the Sonic trailer? I don't remember. I don't think so. I was just like, that can't be real. What is that guy? What the fuck is that? Yeah, that's kind of insane. I didn't see that. But Minecraft movie, I mean, I see, I put Minecraft movie on the same, like, level as the Super Mario movie. And the Super Mario movie, I liked it, but I thought it could have been better, but I think Minecraft will be like that.

No, yeah, Minecraft, it actually does look, like lit. I just don't like, I just don't love how it's live after. They should have fully animated. I feel like, I probably wouldn't have watched it anyway, but I would have been. been intrigued if it was animated. Yeah. For sure. Yeah. I don't really like the light action stuff.

And throw it on a little bit. You do like the live action? I don't. I think you have to do it very, very well if you're going to do it. Like I feel like, and I obviously could be wrong. I feel like you see the Minecraft movie and like you're like, okay, let's get some big name actors and let's do it. And it's just going to do well because it's Minecraft.

Will it actually be like a really good movie? I don't want to say no, but you know what I'm saying? I just feel like they kind of have a cheat code with Minecraft where it's just, It's gonna get people to watch either way. Yeah. Yeah. 100%. It's probably gonna be lit, though.

I hope so. Medieval M.MA. What the hell is that? Armed M.MA fighting? What the fuck are the- What? Wait, what is this? What was that show?

Yeah, what the hell? That is crazy. You said we're doomed? Yeah, we're doomed, man. 2024, we're fucking toast.

We're going back to the medieval times. It's all going down. People are getting bored. I mean, medieval times, the theme park, I mean, they're ahead of the game. I've actually never been. You go there, you get a chicken leg or turkey? leg, whatever the hell it is. Walking around, feeling like the man with a big ass turkey leg. Really? What does y'all?

You want to go? I'm down, taking edible. Dude, you'd be tweaking. We should go for a vlog. A vlog? Hell yeah, medieval times would be fire. Is that they're near Dallas? Yeah, we got to dress up.

We've got to go in for the, if we're vlogging it, we've got to go all. in. They're gonna be like, why are these guys here? And they have no kids. No, no, they wouldn't. No, there's hell of people there. It's not like, yeah, no, people love medieval times. I mean, it's more, it's more of a kid thing, though. That's the thing. I mean, there's definitely adults that go and like, but like, this is for like, it's a kid thing. In my opinion, because there's like a huge arcade, like when you walk in. It is. Oh, you've been there? Uh, yeah. Not, not to the one here, but, but there's like a, when you walk in, it's like a big ass arcade. It looks like a bowling rink. Like when you walk in and then there's like different things.

that was the best as a kid. I always wonder what the bowling alley with the arcade attached to it. Oh yeah. The nachos and cheese. They have one in a... It was called the Brunswick zone where I was at.

I'm not sure if it was... I think it was a bunch of Brunswick zones actually. Man. They had like mini golf there, if I remember correctly. Huh. Yeah, it was like mini golf fucking arcades. I mean, obviously they have like

the medieval time stuff. You can go in there and buy fucking long swords. I mean... Damn, man. Look at that. You can just go in there and buy a broadsword. A knight somebody. Sir William of, Sir William of Dallas, Texas. Will you be a knight for this medieval times?

Now it was cool. But like, bro, in the morning, dude, that's just crazy. No, we went out during the day one time. It was to go, like, do the interview the day before. And it was, I mean, it was pretty hot, but it wasn't like, I feel like once you hit a certain level, it's like, it's all going to feel the same. Like, it felt like Texas even during the day. Probably also because it was a dry heat.

It wasn't like here where it's like, it's not like just dry. There's a little bit of moisture in the air. Yeah. But like there it was just. dry. Wait, you eat Nando's there? Nah, Aegee did. He said, he said boys, don't go there. Like, that's just dog shit. Wait, they have Nando's here now, too.

I don't know what hotel you're at But no we're at the four seasons You guys were at a different one No really? Yeah At least the catering that we had bro Wow Their food was fucking amazing

Yeah I think I had one of the best cheeseburg I've ever had at the four seasons, bro. It was like, oh, it was incredible. The food quality, too? Just, I heard they had the food was there. I think Clay was telling me they had good lamb out there. Huh?

Good lamb? Yeah. Oh, I mean, yeah, lamb, I mean, really any meat, any meat there was gas. Yeah, it was fire. The chicken there was like fall off the bone. Oh, man. It was fantastic. Let's go to Mike's later.

You're fucking. My chicken's insane. I've been hungrier, though. Like, ever since I started working out again, I've been hungrier, and I'm just a menace. Luckily, I don't have, like, a lot of stuff stock, but I'm just, I'm walking around looking at shit in my kitchen. Oh, man. You're just eating? More than, more than I thought I'd be, yeah.

Well, who do you guys have winning today, the Chiefs and Ravens? Chiefs. Actually, no, Ravens. I said the Chiefs. People think the Chiefs are going to win the Super Bowl again. Yeah, but they lost first game last year. I'm going to go. They're going to lose first game this year as well.

Lamar Jackson's coming out, big ball. Make sure your fantasy, are you playing fantasy this year anyway? I don't know how to do that. Make sure your fantasy. Oh yeah, you're not playing either. We kicked him. Yeah, Mark had to get kicked because he... After pathetic performance last year.

He wasn't changing his roster. He wasn't, he didn't do the draft. It was a lethargic performance. I'm not really into... Wait, who got kicked? Was it him and Matt Craig? And hit. Because I really put on those pads in real life.

Shut up, man. You know, low-key same. Seth has You never put on pads in your life Pop Warner But I've actually never Oh I would have stiff arms in anything No you would

I was a great I was a line back there Five times in a row Were you actually I have all the medals and trophies In the back of my streamer Five time five time Wait wait you guys call it as the Super Bowl as well

Yeah like the Pop Warner Super Bowl It was stiff arm of motherfuckers You're showing up Your mom brought a bag of oranges You're in the end zone And just see different life I was eating steak meats And then I was

And then I was spearing kids. They trained me to be a destroyer. He's getting oranges pre-gain? The king of Pop Warner. Before you go to war, you're eating the oranges. What position were you? Yeah, they looked over at me. No, I think.

A team. It was in halftime. You didn't have the oranges. Someone's mom brought enough oranges for the whole team. You're just in the end zone. One and 12. They didn't have no killer. What position were you?

Running back and we called it a monster, but it was, I always had to keep. contained so I was like on the out I was like I was like an outside line backer pretty much called it monster yeah our team called it monster but I was like responsible for the flat keeping everybody contained so they don't get what I can smell what I can smell what you were bad ass bro yeah I could smell the burgers I was just about to show you know I'm saying they used to have like the whole in the setup the cherry slush yeah people on the grill like 10 or like not man those were the best burger I ever had I'm still I'm with you on

not when the concession stand burgers and mozzarella sticks. Wasn't even a concession stand for Pop Warner. So for baseball, we have the concession stand. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. For Pop Warner's, whatever it was, Sundays or Saturdays, it'd be like in the center they'd be cooking a bunch of shit. So, like, actual grills, burgers, might be the best burger I ever had. But more importantly, can we get some flowers for our four war zone wins in a row, please?

They were, they had no orders out there. Hey, hold on, hold it. We'll start the game in 20 minutes. Let the boys finish our odd. Who are we playing against, well? Modern Warzone? He said, don't die.

I want them again. We just ran them once more. I said, don't say that ever again in modern war zone. When we won four in a row, Modern Warzone was piping up on Twitter a bit, like, oh, they're squadding up

and they shouldn't be, which was false. Everyone was squawed up. But we killed him, and I heard him as death com. He was like, stay alive. I want to fight them again. And we just ran them once more. And I was like, why would you say that,

Modern Warzone? We just fucking ran you. Were you running their show? One four straight. No, it was too easy, honestly. It was too easy? That map was fun. Damn.

So CDL better than Warzone? Correct. It was too easy. Yeah. Wait, everyone else was group club, no? Huh? Or my chiven. Yeah, everyone was squatted up.

Maybe, like, game one they weren't, but, like, everyone was squawting up. Most of the people we were, like, bouncing around too were squatted up. Aiden was, I forget, Aiden was in our game once. But, like, we were bouncing around, like, biffling them. They were squatted up for sure. Okay, Tony? Yep.

Sure. I was doing my thing. Everyone said I got carrot. Dude, what? I was doing my part, man. Never mind, Tony. These are respectable. Ken had two more kills from me there.

Good performance, Tony. Oh, shit, wait. It was fun. In lobbies against Warzone pros? How? Oh, shit. Yeah, they're loving this. I thought CDL players couldn't play Warzone.

Pros versus Joe. Bro, we walked out. I'll never forget, Ant's quote. We walked into Cod next. Every setup has a her. Herman Miller. There's over 200 setups. That's a $1,500 chair just there. Everyone had a PC, two monitors, everything. He goes, you know, how much this cost? Like, 100K? I was like, and I'm not kidding, this room might cost $5 million. Like I'm being like,

this whole thing might be $5 million. Cameras, setups. Dude, that shit, you should have seen it, dude. This shit was crazy. Bro, where we're in, by the way? What even is that building? Oh, it was the shit. What was it? That shit is crazy, dude. Bro. Imagine I forget what it was now. It might have been like the National Museum. The Sealions were literally the most tallest shit I've ever seen in my life. Yeah? D.C. was sick.

I mean, D.C. is dope. D. D.C. was my first time going to D.C. I think there was a UMG event in A.W. and D.C. You guys were eating good out there too. You were saying. That was when I took my break. Welly. Oh, yeah.

Oh, it's even better when it's on time. Oh, yeah. UMG. DC, yeah, I remember that. I wasn't there. I was taking my break then. I was, I remember I was driving back from WVU visiting my friend. I almost stopped in D. DC to see everyone. I was like, I'm just going home. But we ate good. It was cool to sightsee. It was my first time there. It was a White House. I liked how, so from the hotel, we stayed at the Watergate, which is obviously the famous Nixon scandal hotel. We walked the river.

Really? Yeah. You can upgrade to the room it happened in for like a thousand dollars a night. And they have it like themed. Yeah, this is it, bro. Oh my God. Wait, what happened there? It was the, it was when there was cameras. And then they, I think it was like the DNC. like there was like a secret DNC meeting or something. I could be completely wrong. I hope I'm not butchering this. And that's when Nixon resigned. It was like whatever happened in that hotel.

I don't know those specifics, but that part of the news now. If only those walls could talk. So then you walk the river. First you do the Lincoln Memorial, which was sick. Then you walk across the, I don't know if it's like a pond, the Washington Monument, then the White House. It was super cool. And my sister's moving there and it just so happened.

The day she got there is the day I got there. is the day I got there. So I was hanging out my sister and her boyfriend day one. Really? Yeah. Go.

The fuck? Yeah. Now, DC's cool as fuck, dude. I don't even know anything about that shit, but it was actually pretty cool. I don't know anything about that shit, but that shit's cool.

Nah, Kodnex, they always go above and beyond. My Kinex is actually really cool. It was good. We had a nice team meal of Carmines. Me, you, Kenny, Z-Lainer,

Hitch, Blake, George. Yeah? The whole gang, yeah. That sounds fantastic. It was a good time, man. I'm jealous I couldn't be there. It was a good time. It was a good time.

What's the PlayStation shooter? Concord. Oh. It's a tough one. Yeah, we did a sponsored stream with them. Well, I don't see how it looks like. Let me see the game. Wait, was it that dog shit?

Well, I mean, I thought it was great. It just the player base did not, like. Did they like it? No, the player base just was not very high. Bro, with the competition. The player base had like 150 players. Like, when I did my last sponsored stream on the 20,

I think it was the 28th of August, it had 150 players on Steam playing it. So like, I've never seen this happen either where like this is like a big game from a big publisher. I've never seen. Well, it's a rumor that ex defiant's in trouble too. Apparently people are saying like if X Defiant doesn't get more of a player base, they might be screwed too because X Defiance is truckable.

There's so much competition now where it's like you kind of have to make an incredible game. Otherwise you're kind of doomed. Like I feel like. So this is it. it? Yeah, it's like a, it's like a hero shooter. It's like a, you know, like an Overwatch, like, I mean,

really, Overwatch is the one that I always go to, but everybody has different abilities, you know, there's different game modes. This is Ray's right here. I do feel bad though, because like, a lot of people work. It looks like this fucking Ray. This tank is actually. Godlike, what?

Yeah, what that? This character, I didn't use this character. Wait, wait, I think throwing those barrels is new. Because when I was, when I played, I missed the last stream, but I don't remember being able to do that with this character. Apparently this guy sucks up trash and then you throw the trash back out. Really?

Yeah, like you see that? They just tried to shoot him and you just got some. Maybe I was just playing it wrong. I don't know. But yeah, I mean, that's crazy. I mean. I feel bad. Yeah, I've never seen a game like.

I legit didn't even know those things. Yeah. That's crazy. Me neither. Like complete shutdown of the game where like it gets taken off Steam. You know? When did it officially release? I don't know because we played, we had three sponsored streams.

We did our first two were like during like the open like beta. And then the last one that we did was when the game actually dropped. And then they offered full refunds to people. Like if you bought it, they gave you a full refund. Bro, so these guys lost hell of money. I don't know what goes into it. I do feel bad though because like currently social media, people just shit on things. And like there's actual people that sit there work on it.

So I just feel bad because like people actually spend time and. Eight years of working is gone just like that. Eight years of work? Eight years? Wow. Oh, I mean, I wonder if the devs, like, obviously there's some of them that are, like, really care, but I wonder if there are some that are just like, help. Yeah, I don't know. You know what are you going to do?

Because, like, they're getting paid, you know? It's like, they're working for free for you. No, yeah, 100%. So I wonder if there's some that there's like, well, that fucking sucks. Like, you know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? Like, ah. On to the next game.

There's definitely some diehard. Or some passionate ones Some tears were shed behind this one. Yeah, for sure. So what other games have they made that are pretty popular? What studio is it? I don't know.

But they also, so right now the new games in the block are deadlock, which is Valve's new game, which people are talking about. You also have Shroud's new game, which is Spector Divide. So I've seen some people play that.

Shroud's new game? Yeah, so Shroud's a new game. It's like, it's like Valorin. I mean, it's like Valoran. Let me see that, Matt, Craig. Pull that up for me. It's kind of like Val. It's like a 3V3, but you control two characters. So like... That's just crazy.

They can... This will show you better than I can. I also like the way it looks. I'm not sure if everyone feels that way. Yeah, I feel like this... It's just unique. It's cool. It's like Spider-Manny. It's like Spider-Verse, yeah. I think it's dope.

So how does he control the other character? You can switch back and forth. So like you can place your character somewhere and then switch to the other character. I'm pretty sure. So you see how he just... threw his character down right there. That's crazy. Oh, this looks decent.

Whenever you die, your other character dies as well, right? No, I think you have to kill both. Oh. I could be wrong, though. I don't want to... Oh, yeah. I don't really know. I know very basic stuff.

But I feel like Shroud being very heavily involved and pretty good person to have. Even though he hates us controller folk. Who, Shroud? Oh, yeah. Does he? He loves the keyboard mouse. I mean, I wouldn't say he hates us controller folk.

to him before and he is pretty cool. I was exactly, not hate, but he's a keyboard mouse elitist. You got soft hands, sissy boy. Busy boy. Now that's getting most cool. Can you show deadlock real quick, Matt? Yeah, everyone's been... I want to know what you got... Trout's been like raving

about deadlock. Deadlock, yeah. He's like... Because it's the first moba that like is a, is like a shooter that actually looks good. Well, the first what? Like Moba, like League of Legends, Dota, like that's a moba? It's like that, but it's like abilities and you actually shoot, like, you're aiming.

So you see the lanes, like, look at the bottom right, the mini. But like, yeah, you... Oh, okay. Yeah, you like actually shoot. This guy a dragon? Oh. And you have to, it's like actual, you have to have actual mechanical, like, FPS skills.

Even though it's third person, but you know what I'm saying. Interesting. Oh, so the Overwatch people are going to be good at this. I would assume. I mean, yeah, kind of. I mean, I heard like an Apex guy is literally quitting the game quitting Apex to play this.

Did you guys know Tim? Yeah. Did you guys know Tim was good at Overwatch? Yeah. I just found this out. He was like a top 50 Winston on Overwatch. Yeah. Tim the Tapman was one game away from placing pro and CS.

And I was like, I thought you were dog shit, dude. What do you mean? You were one game away from placing pro. Wait, really? Yeah. He said his teammate, do you know Dizzy? He plays Apex? Yeah, yeah.

Dizzy was 15 at the time. and he got grounded the day of that match and he was like one of their best players so they had to get a fill in and they lost. No way. And I was like, Tim, that might have been the best thing to ever happened to you. Can you imagine you actually went pro and CS?

How different it could be? Oh, CS. Yeah. What do you mean how different it could be? Tim's doing just fine. I'm saying, no, exactly. Timmy's loving it. No, but imagine he plays pro and CS

his life would have been different. So he might not, you know what I'm saying? He wouldn't be where he's at right now. Most likely if he was a pro CS player, you'd have a completely different life. That's a good point. See, I was thinking about it the opposite way. I said it's the best thing to ever happen to you, Tim.

Surely. But I was like, what? I thought you were dog-chiti games. So he's nice with it on and see us? I guess. I didn't know. Yeah, that's a cool. Damn.

But yeah, we got Optic Halo, Salt Lake. I think this is the last thing we should talk about. Who do you guys? Predictions going in. I mean, SSG has looked kind of crazy. Have you been watching Halo at all yet? Yeah, I've been like keeping up. Well, I've been playing it.

Like I did some notes. Go formal. Let's go H4F, baby. Let's take it home here. But we've also been looking solid going into the event. We're due. Yeah, we've been looking solid. Yeah, we're doing.

We're also looking solid. I feel like top three here now is S-Sg, Optic, and then I pays, and then whose other team that's usually in there? I mean, Shopify Rebellion's been pretty solid. Pure. Oh, that's mental, right? Yeah, Pure has been pretty solid. I mean, pure did go out at the last one. Who's on Pure?

That's like, what was their name? Druck. Oh, okay, okay, yeah. Shur-Shaw? Is it Shirt shot? Her shot? Deontes. Deontes.

And then Tolic and then Cherokee. And then Cherokee. What the hell? He's in the back. Dude, someone kills Scumpy. What the fuck? What the hell happened to you, M. Bows?

No, it's going to be a good, damn, bro. Looking at this shit, like I wish Todd was like this. What, like these orgs? No, just like the open bracket shot. Oh, yeah, no. We were talking about this last night, brother.

You need, if we go on the next CDL season and it's, not 16 teams at every major, I'm going to be appalled. Like, it needs to just go back, 12 pro teams. What do you mean if we go into the next CDL season? We are. We're going into the next CDL season. No, no. If we go into that season with the same format, I'm going to be appalled.

It needs to go back to every 16, every single tournament, 16 team pool play bracket. Done. It should be, it should even be debated, dude. It should be like that. You need four challenger teams making through. But we literally just play like, you know, I'm not even trying to. shit on it but we we play one match today basically if you win kind of incident and think yeah no I hate I hate the limited amount as a competitor bro you guys are getting such a nerfed you guys are getting

such a nerfed realty compared to what we experience playing as much you guys make a lot more money but but you guys play less car to make more money so I guess in that sense it's it's pretty good but we used to play a lot of call of duty now but like as a competitor though it's like a frustrating though because like imagine this imagine you legit I mean you know how much time is we We practice. We practice literally every single day. Two times a set or like two times a day. Bro, remember before COVID, the schedule it was going to be.

You would fly to Paris and play one match and fly home. I would be infuriated, brother. It used to be, it was city to city. I'd fly to Dallas, play one match, fly back to Boston. Next week I'm in Paris, one match. I mean, it was like the NBA. It was like the international NBA. That would have been.

That's basically what MLB does, right? Like. Yeah, but it's not international. So they're like, yeah, they're flying a lot But at least it's like domestic flights I mean imagine you had to fly to Paris From one call of duty match And they play three games

That's not even real I'd be like Would have got a lot of miles And now I go to there We would have been We would have been flying I would have had Exquisitely

I would have been making Uh, mile plans for every single airline Oh yeah I would have had free flights For the rest of my life Oh yeah That would have been amazing

That would have been a pro of it I would just been like frequent flyer number, yep, bang, bang. I actually got to fix this. But yeah, SLO, not SLG, Salt Lake's going to be, going to be sick. Let's go optic. Let's go optic. Are you going to be watch partner in Orlando?

Yeah, I will, it's good. I'm pretty sure during the beta. So it's like, well, what are you, wait, what are you guys going to do? Like, are you guys going to be like, I'm probably only going to watch on Saturday. I'm probably only going to watch us play. Yeah. Maybe if it's like a phase, SSG. I might turn it on.

Yeah. And then Sunday I'll probably, like if I do my 24-hour Sunday, I'll watch the whole thing. Wait, yeah, yeah, yeah. Are you forgetting NFL Sunday? I mean, when am I going to do this 24-hour? I have to do it. You're going to miss the first NFL Sunday? I respect it if you do that.

I'm just surprised to hear you say it. True. I'll respect it. What other day do I do it? Just a random Tuesday? I will make you jealous. I'll be at Nate shots and you'll know I'm at Nate shots. Just a random Tuesday?

I just rip a 24-hour. Wait, wait, wait, what was the best? What was the deal for you to do a 24 hour? Huh? What was the deal for you to do a 24 hour? When I got back from the wedding, I said if we go on a 2000 sub train, I'll rip a 24 hour and we went on a 2000 sub train. Holy fuck.

And then, well, then I had to go to Paris. Then I had to go to Riyadh, so I really haven't had, like, time to do it. So now it's like, I actually have time to do it. Sunday probably is, I mean, to beta and, like, Beta, Halo. That's a good, that's a good mash to get you through it. You see what I'm saying? Like, I mean, 24 hours not easy.

You need stuff that you enjoy doing to be able to, like. Oh, yeah. I feel like if you actually do start at 6, it will be easier than what it seems like. You think it'll be easier? Yeah, because it's a 6 to 6, right? 6 to 6, yeah. You probably hit hour 16 and you're like, wow. Yeah, hour 16 at what time would it be?

It would be fucking 10 p.m. You know you still have 8 more hours. Eight more hour. I mean, that's a full stream. No, you got it though. A lot of caffeine, though. Yeah, I mean, yeah. That's going to be a lot of caffeine and a lot of eating.

A lot of caffeine and a lot of eating. If you play Val, yeah. If you play Val, Val. I think Valer... Well, I probably won't. I'll probably do beta for like the first eight and then watch 8CS for the next like seven or however long it's on

and then play either Wukong or Elton Ring D.L.C. I will say, I do think Valorant will make it fly the quickest because Valorant to me goes like this. Valorant games? Yeah, but you're in bronze, brother. That's true. So? I'm Silver 3 actually.

That's a little bit of a different experience. Silver 3? It's my first ever keep when you're on ascending lobbies. You're getting bitched at? Can you fucking stop baiting? And then you're like, dude, shut the fuck. Raise, can you get in the front and do what you're supposed to? No, Val kids are freaks.

Dude, there was one time there was this gecko, I strafed out with my pistol to take a fight on site, stop strafing. And he was mad that I stopped strafing. No, dude, you are fucking weird. Valer, no, no, no. Valer... I was like, dude, you're fucking weird. Valor kids are odd, bro. I strafed out on the site.

You're bitching. No, it's on streaks. Big, I'm throwing. Before one round's even played, one time, one case said, I'm, throwing, he puts something on his W key so he can kick for AFK and just didn't play the game. And I was just like, what the fuck?

It's appalling. I actually played last night. And, bro, people are weird. Dude, people at that. It is fun. At the high range. I have a funny duo too. You get some. I have a funny duo. It's Big Tony and Fat Cam. So it's me and Cammy. And dude, Cammy is hilarious. He'd be like, oh, bro, he's got the

wooden wrist, bro. Our teammate has a wooden wrist. Yeah. Oh, he's hilarious. But I think that's going to do it for podcast episode 10090 brought to you by Shopify and cash app. Any closing remarks, gentlemen. Nothing, man. I appreciate you guys watching, man.

It's always a pleasure. Always a pleasure. Always a good one. Drop a like. Drop a like, comment, subscribe. Support the optic boys this weekend in Salt Lake City. Big win, hopefully coming up. Beta coming back tomorrow.
