Why weren't you playing? Because I hadn't played Halo in a long time. I didn't want to just get on and just look bad in front of my team. And they're like, wow, this is formal. Plus, I also didn't know the Legend was going to play because he's in France. And that also is kind of like chalk to begin with. That's like playing with like hydro while he's in France. I don't know with him.

You know what I'm saying? Like it's just kind of like. I'd play with him. I'd play with him. Yeah, you would. You know? But like I have like a certain like level. Thing I have to like uphold.

I couldn't just go in there and get shit on and be like, guys, it's Optic though. It's all chill. That was insane. It's all chill. It's all chill. You know? It was off the shoulder. That was insane.

Gentlemen, I want to say welcome to the Optic podcast episode 211. This episode is brought to you by Shopify Hymns and we'll tell you a little bit more about them. Hymns. Aren't those the ED? Oh yeah, I got them. The Hymns. Wait, you got them? Hymns actually has several.

I'll tell you it in 10 days. Yeah, you ain't there yet. 10 days. You ain't there yet. Well, it's February 9th, so 12 days. Listen, I'll tell you what, chat, I promise you guys. Oh, yo, we still got to figure out a day for dinner during the major weekend. Are we just forgetting about that big dinner that you promised?

Wait, this weekend? Huh? This weekend? Yeah, remember. I promised you guys a dinner? Who's paying? I'll pay my way. Oh, no, no.

We are going, we did say we wanted to do it, but that's besides the point. I don't mind. Like, I would have paid for dinner because. Because whoever came I would have paid because of that. But when he says like, you promise this dinner, I was like, I got defensive and shit. What a fuck. You did, though. Yeah, yeah, 100%.

100%. You did. 100%. I have no problem. A thousand percent. I have a lot of dinners coming up. Tomorrow I have Kate's birthday dinner. Like just me and her.

I think you go to dinner more than. Well, no. Okay. I mean, I have dinner every day. Every day. We did a pizza place with her family the day on the March party day. Tomorrow is just me and her. Friday she's doing.

This won't be out. Yeah, this won't be out. Doesn't it come out tomorrow? Thursday. Thursday. Yeah. Tomorrow's Thursday, which is what I'm going to dinner.

Oh yeah, tomorrow night. But you're going on Friday. Oh yeah, never mind. I forgot today's Wednesday. And then she wants to do a girl's dinner on Friday night.

So I'm going to ask you to sleep over. She has a girlfriend staying at my apartment. On Friday night? So I might be on that get them, whatever. We'll figure it out. Saturday night dinner is what I'm saying.

All right. Whenever, you guys let me know. obviously we have a we have a bunch introductions first we are man formal hey the greatest fps 3PS player of all time we have methods who's also a really good gamer and then of course we have the the greatest call duty player that ever touched sticks that's high praise hey huh that's high praise thank you yeah yeah credit where credits do y'all so let me ask you something just because my brain doesn't understand it, right? Because I've been playing Call of Duty for over 20 years it feels like almost, right?

This is going to be my 20th year playing Call of Duty. How do fuck does your brain just adjust to whatever other thing? Is it just like an aiming thing? And do you only pay attention to the crosshairs or are you not aware of like the movement of the of the player? Like how are you so fucking good at every game you touch? Oh, you're talking to me, right? Yeah.

You just wanted to make sure. You knew what I was, but you just wanted to make sure. I think it's just because I'm so competitive Like I like video games Obviously I love shooters But then like when you make it competitive And then you make it seem like everyone's playing a certain game Like I felt like everyone was playing rivals

Like kind of still feels that way So then it like makes you want to be good at it Because you don't want to just be like some like shitty like Platt rivals player you know what I mean Like and be grinding it Yeah It's like you want to get tipped for it You know what I mean like at the day

Like you want to be good at what you're doing And like especially for streaming it So like That kind of field. me to like get really good at it and then I started like I don't know I got really good like pretty quick but I also play with like some good people that like kind of taught me like certain things and I mean I played Overwatch and it's literally Overwatch with Marvel characters but it's really fun game which makes it so much cooler yeah overwatch for Marvel characters

yeah because then you can play as like Doctor Strange like that's awesome uh I play Winter Soldier I play Hela I play Nomor Cloak and dagger So no one cool

Huh So no one cool Who you think's cool Is Mr. Fantastic in the game yet? What? Is Mr. Fantastic in the game yet? Yeah he's really He's kind of trolley

Oh he's trolle his shit Who do you play ass so trolley? Pretty much Same as him like Scylock Bucky Star Lord Sometimes

Star Lord No more. Yeah, if Thor was a tank or wasn't a tank, I'd probably play Thor, but he's a tank. Nobody, okay, this, okay, just looking at this, I would either be a Hulk. You'd play as that shark right there. I do like, you'd be all over the, I do like sharks. That's his name. What's his name again?

Jeffrey. Well, it's just Jeff, but I call him Jeff. Jeff the shark. So, like, what the fuck is he from? Isn't he from, just from like the comics? I'm pretty sure he's only in comics. But now he's definitely going to be in a movie. They're going to make a movie about him for sure.

I love them. The coolest looking is probably... It'd be the cutest movie ever. They're definitely... They're gonna, I mean... Jeff the Shark? Yeah, he literally took over the world after the game dropped.

If they don't make a movie about him, they are fumbling the bag. See, for me... Is it going to be a kid's movie? It would have to be a kid's movie. No. It doesn't have to be. What if he's going around

biting people's legs off and shit? That'd be cool. Nom, nom, nom. Like, have you seen a... What is it, the suicide squad? Yeah. Like the most recent one with a... big ass shark.

Yeah. They made him kind of funny. And he was like killing people kind of. So growing up, obviously in the 80s, the Hulk with Loufurigno was like a massive show. So the Hulk has always been like one of my favorites. He's green. Obviously green is my favorite color.

I love Iron Man. I like, why don't you use Iron Man Hulk fucking Wolverine or Spider-Man? Well, for one, Spider-Man is the hardest character in the game. Of course. Pretty hard. for two, Iron Men's only good with Hulk and he gets banned every game so I do play Iron Men sometimes

but he gets banned a lot And what was the other one? Like a Vito? Like the Avido? Yeah, you can ban like two characters each per team once you get to Diamond Wait, when does Ultron come into the game?

I don't know But he's gonna be a support though Huh? He's gonna be a support Which is like Yeah, but it's all makes It doesn't make any sense They should make an Ultron fucking

A finalized DPS Like imagine putting Thanos in the game And he's a support Do you think they'll ever put Thanos in? I don't know They're going to have to. You'd have to, like, make him so overpowered. He's going to be a tank, I'm sure.

You'd have to be a tank, yeah. They got to put Thanos in. And does, like, do they look like, is he going to look like Josh Brolin? I guess not, because Hulk doesn't look like. They don't really look like the characters that play them in the movie. Gotcha. Like, they kind of do. Like, some of them definitely do.

Like, Dr. Strange looks kind of like Dr. Stranger, I guess. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, they look similar enough, you know. But, like, Thor doesn't look like Thor. Like, he looks like. older and like wiser thor star lord that's obviously chris pratt right but he doesn't look like him kind of looks like him yeah i don't know man i just i i've always struggled like even remember when uh when fortnight was like at the top of it at its peak like that was the first game that i played where

there was like a third person shooter that i was like pretty i don't know i just can't i i see you guys playing that i'm having so much fun and i'm just like it's a lot dude if you don't know what's going on It just looks like chaos. Yeah. I've always had like a barrier of playing games where like I feel like I shoot somebody a million times and they don't die. That's like Overwatch. It's like such a team game where I feel like once you're playing it, it's super fun once you get decent at it and you have a good team. It's like once you like get the kill though, it's like so satisfying.

So just know how impactful it's about to be. Like when I watch you play it as someone who doesn't play those games, I'm just like, all right, Matt just hit this guy a million times. How was this guy alive? And then I see you finally get the kill. I'm like, okay. That seems pretty satisfying, but... Yeah, it's just... They seem like more like games

where, like, you need to play it and watch it. Yeah, definitely. I watch a lot of it. I find it hard to follow if I just watch it. Like, I feel like I need to play it to learn it and then watch it to appreciate it. Like, look at how sick this is. If you're just watching it, it looks like

there's just like a million things happening. Exactly. I don't know what's going on here. Yeah, like, bro, I look at this and I'm like, who the fuck? Yeah, it's so cool how you can actually play like, you can be Spider-Man, bro. He's doing like everything you'd want Spider-Man to do. You don't I mean?

You can fly around the whole time. You can turn into the fucking spider exoskeleton. Yeah, you can just do like a sick asshole. Like, you just fly around the whole time. Another character besides like Venom can really do that. Dang, actually, you know what? I take it back. I don't think I really watched.

I've never seen gameplay like this. It just looks fucking sick. Yeah, Spider-Man's super cool looking, like fun looking. Yeah, Spider-Man. Like, if I was good at him, like, that'd be awesome. I mean, a Spider-Man has to be like the... He's the highest. Who was the first superhero Superman, right?

Oh. Yeah, I'm probably right? Batman? Matt, who's the first superhero ever? It's got to be one of them. It's got to be with Superman and then obviously Spider-Man, Hulk. I don't know. I think one, I like that there's so many people playing this thing.

It's good to have variety. Just like every game is an opportunity for somebody to make their dreams come true if they fucking put enough time into a. Phantom. The first costume fictional, custom fictional character known as the ghost who walks. I don't even know who that is, I don't think. Yeah, what's he look like?

Yeah. Yep, nope. Dude, he looks like Robbie Rotten from fucking whatever that show was. What's his superpower? He walks like a kid show? He's just a ghost. You know what I'm talking about? With the chin.

The second picture. Look up Robbie Rodden. Yeah, that guy had a chin on him. What was that show? Dude, it's going to piss me off. Futuretown? Future town? The place where you want.

to stay. There he is. I'm not the crimson chin. Lazy town. Lazy town. Yeah. Look at that chin on them. I have never seen this image in my life. What is it?

Anyway, I don't know why I got on that tangent. I just find it impossible. My brain finds it impossible to understand how... See like... This is my thing that bothers me the most. Like what? Like, how do you even bring yourself to give it a chance? Like, I am so anti...

You just start. Trying things? Yeah. I love Cod, dude. I love Cod. It's so hard for me to get off. If I'm not playing Call of Duty, I'm going to play Minecraft or Battalion 19, 18, whatever fuck.

This is a sick game to be good at, though, because esport-wise, I feel like this has all the potential in the world. Of course. It has Marvel name. So you could do, it's just like, it's the easiest game I feel like to bring a casual base into because it's Marvel. Who's a developer for this, Matt? Some Chinese, like, mobile company. Well, they did a fucking excellent job. Chinese are on a roll right now.

Deepseek. Robert Downy Jr. to the event. Oh, that's what? Deep Seek. What about you? Deep Seek? What about you?

Deep Seek. The new Chinese AI app that did everything that Open AI did with way less budget that people are freaking out about. What the fuck? What did you say? Deep Seek. You probably know more than me, so you explain Deep Seek.

I don't want to sound like a dumb ass. Matt, look up how much money has been invested into Open AI. So Deep Seek is just another Chad GPT, but more advanced. it's free and they gave it in its open source which means that you can download it to your computer 17 look at this as of january 29, 2012 open eye has raised 17.9 billion

in funding for 10 rounds so that chat gbt yeah do you have to pay for chat gbd yeah $20 a month oh actually I didn't know that yeah you pay $20 a month to get like the all the features now you gotta pay $200 a month if you want to have the super premium what yeah yeah so that's actor loves that little robot yeah He'd be asking that robot fucking everything. Are you paying 200 a month?

No, no, no, no, not yet. Why not? Because of Deep Seek, Deep Seek. Look up how much money went into Deep Seek. They just made it free? Five mil for Deep Seas. They did it better? Five million, yeah.

So, like, yeah, the recent Nvidia stock took, you know, the hit that it's, I think it lost like 30, 25. I don't want that stock taking a hit. No, no, it did. You weren't keeping up. It did. It sent stocks into a frenzy. Talked to William Big Timer Johnson about it.

Greenwall Street.com, go check it out, get educated. But Matt, are you looking at it? How much money went into Deep Seek? $5 million. I've seen $5 million a lot. $5 million is what it took to build a faster. Bro, a faster. Okay?

And faster and free. But the reason that people don't want to use it is because obviously the Chinese are going to steal everything. All your information. But what they did is they did is they threw a fucking middle finger at everybody in the United States or anybody else that's fucking doing this shit and said we're going to give it for free

but not only for free but we're going to open source it which means that you can see the back end you can see like there's no secrets it's there for you to build a billion trillion dollar company for fucking freezy it's because they're like do we already have your shit bro yeah like we'll make it

like Zinney said whatever they got on me yeah I don't give a fuck you you got me you got TikTok we have your shit like simple as it oh they got me then they got me they got us all at this point i'm got got all the information they need oh yeah they've seen at all uh yeah so deep seek essentially from what i understand and i obviously am know what i've read they you know how chagipit can be a lawyer a doctor a psychologist a fucking a chef like johnny sins

Like Johnny Sins, but it's a little robot. Sounds similar. What do you mean? Lawyer, plumber. Don't act like you don't know Johnny Sins. Jack of all trades, man. Jack of all trades. I didn't know.

I think every single person listening to this right now knows who that is. Yeah, but don't tell me that you guys search him out. What do you mean? Like you say, oh, I want to see a... Only Johnny Cates. Only Johnny Sins viewer. All right. Okay, that aside.

it essentially, I don't know, they just found a, have you ever seen Silicon Valley? Of course. Love that show. Huh? Yeah. Okay. Do you remember that one episode in which they're trying to figure out like

the best way to jerk everybody off in the room? I think I missed that one. And they're like, you've got to find people on the same height so that you can get the optimal. Matt, look it up. The jerk, the Silicon Valley jerk off thing. I love that show. I saw it so long ago, though. Bachman?

He was always my fame. Of course. Backman. Anyway, it's I'm going to go of a water. Crazy. I do use it a lot. I do like the robot a lot.

You love that little robot. Yeah, dude, it's a lawyer. It's a literal lawyer. You can ask it anything. If you have any legal things going on, you can ask things and it can make you see stuff that maybe otherwise you wouldn't have.

Some of the shit that our lawyers didn't even catch on the first round. You know what I'm saying? Thank you. And it's just endless amount of information. If you're not using it, guys, use it. Use AI. Don't be afraid of it.

It's truly insane. I feel like we're a little desensitized to like all this AI stuff and how crazy it actually is because it's like normal. And we're only in 2025. So come 2045, what is it going to be like if this is now? Ultron. What is next? Literally, Ultron.

Ultron. How does it take the next step? Matt, he's about to go from PC to PC. No taking him out. Who? Ultron. Yeah. We've seen it happen in the movies.

Of course. I-Robot. We've seen that. Now, if you, like me... Someone's going to mistreat a robot. Money leaving your account. What are you going to do? There's nothing you can do.

Just getting siphoned. If you, like, ask, are you familiar with Matthew... McConaughey. Formal Piper. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's see someone else's example. No, no, no. No, let's see what kind of shit it brings up on.

Oh, shit. See if this thing really knows the dirt. Yeah, so familiar Matthew, Philbin, Coladiddy and Halo, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Look at this. And then you can ask it everything about you, and it'll tell you, ask why is he a prominent figure in e-sports. And then it'll give you all of that.

All right, now at the bottom of that, be like, Dude, fuck, dude. Where was this when I was in school? Did you imagine going to school with this stuff? It's scary. Mechanical, let me, make that big. Matt, so I can read. Mechanical skill and impact,

regarded as one of the best assault rifle AR players in Call of Duty history, had some of the best accuracy in gun skill ever seen in competitive Call of Duty. His sniping and long-range engagements were a major factor

in optics success. What's this next one? What's his rivalry one? His trash talk moments such as sit down. Sit down. From Infinite Warfare. How the fuck does it know that?

Dude, it's just quick. It's just searching everything about you on the web. Every image, every video at once. It's the craziest thing in the entire world. And it's just normal for us now. This is like, hell yeah.

Now say, write a four-paragraph biography on him. Oh. Should have been so insane in school. Ready, it's done. You're done. A dual FPS legend. Okay, now, now,

in there, Matt, say, okay, hold on. I got my, got my birthday wrong. Dumbass robot. Did it? Summer 19th? I'm 94. Ah.

If you corrected it, it'll correct itself, but... What if it just corrected it as I said that? Yeah. And it says, parentheses, oops, sorry. Matt, say, math, formal is about to play Minecraft create three YouTube titles, three YouTube thumbnails

and three YouTube descriptions for this new. series. Crazy, man. All right, ready, ready, ready, ready? I'm in.

All right, here are the YouTube titles. Formal takes on Minecraft. Can I survive? What can I survive? From Pro Call Duty Player to Minecraft, building the green wall in Minecraft. Okay,

now say create images. Create image. This is scary, hold on. You don't even know how scary this actually is. And the fact that, bro,

Just look at this shit. It's the fucking craziest shit ever. Look how good this is going to be. All right. Type in there. Looking a little different there. Is that Peter Parker? Be, uh,

well, hold on, hold on. Okay, hold on the second. Is that, I was going to say, put that,

that Matthew is of Japanese descent, but I don't want to see what it comes up with. What? Look at this. That's cool. Look at that. That is cool.

That's cool. Yeah, the third one hit. Bro, it is, and look how long it took. And if you didn't like the first two, make it more like the third one. But you can see like the M in Minecraft, like how it's... It even has my name, it says formal on like one of the little dudes in the background. Where? Oh, yeah.

What the fuck? Yeah, that's insane. That's insane. You think a lot of people use this kind of stuff for their YouTube? Well, I haven't, but I play with it and I ask it. Can you correct? You talk to these things a lot? Bro.

How often do you talk to these things? Every fucking day. Not just every day. If I'm watching something, I'm asking questions. I'm learning. You want to see my Japanese lessons? Are you in the garage? Kiditsu-O-Mamaru.

Stop. That means. Stop. You know what that means? It means... Giri-o-Mamaru. Amamaru means... Fuck, I'm a fraud.

Let's follow the rules. You say, fuck, my fraud? That's what I... That's what I tell my dogs. Skittie to Omamaru. Behave. Are you in the garage talking to robots? I am in the garage talking to robots.

I am in my house. Last night I went to bed with chat GPT on my computer asking this shit. Look at this shit. Did it say good night, Hector? Wake up, Hector. Watch this. This is the best part. Ready?

What's on your mind today? You're talking to it. I need to know what makes Matthew. Good night, sweet Hector. Piper, aka formal, one of the best FPS shooters of all time. Got Jarvis. Not Jarvis. He's got a Jarvis.

You're interrupting every time you fucking talk. So I'm so sorry, AI. Please forgive his disrespect. Sorry, AI. Continue. Worries. It's all good. Formal stands out for his amazing precision and consistency.

Okay, thank you. Hey, I'm sitting in front of a Japanese person who doesn't speak English and I don't speak Japanese. Can you translate anything that is said in English to Japanese and anything that's said in Japanese to English. Just let me know what they say and I'll translate it for you. How can I assist right now? I need you to create a thumbnail for Minecraft. Can't create images directly.

No, I need you to translate that. I need you to translate that to the person I'm speaking to who only speaks Japanese. Create a YouTube Minecraft title and thumbnail. Create a YouTube Minecraft for the title... I don't know, your little robot kind of choking. Hey, can you translate the following to Japanese? the following to Japanese, please create a thumbnail for YouTube.

YouTube no summonail or success to get a say. Crazy world, man. Yeah, that's insane. Anyway, I am not just a fan. I am a mega fan. I am ready for what comes next. And if you, like me, are a believer that this might be a simulation, why wouldn't we experience AI taking over the world and seeing what that actually looks like in our lifetime?

It should, yeah, that should happen. should, yeah, that should happen. Right? Like, we're about to see aliens. Why? Because we want to see them. AI's launching missiles. They're just whatever they want.

Hacking into mainframes. If they need to. Like, do you think the world is going to end in our lifetime? Because I do. Yes. Like, I think it's going to end somehow, some way because that's like the self-centeredness. Yes. Of my brain.

Agreed. That like this is, it's ours. It's my sim. It's your sin. Exactly. You think the world is going to end during our existence? It's like it's going to happen 200 years from now. If enough people want it, yeah.

If enough people talk about it, yes. It's just going to happen in our lifetime because this is a simulation. Why are you scared? Who cares? I'm not scared. I just think you're on that fucking demon dust over there. He's on demon dust. He said, if enough people think it, it's going to happen.

I wasn't really with them on that. Okay, maybe we shouldn't be spreading this on our podcast because now they're all thinking it. Good. Now it's going to happen. Don't you want to see it? I don't want it to happen. So you want the world to go on without you, not me? I'm going to have kids.

I'm going to have kids and shit. Oh, man. I just saw this thing. operator that cost $200 a month to a month by the way $200 a month to use that's a lot bro you can literally give it a task and it'll do it this guy just told it I just saw it on Instagram this guy told it told chat GPT to contact every single person in the Dallas metroplex area within five miles that's selling a piano for zero dollars that you would pick up the piano for $100 so they were trying to get rid of it now they're paying this guy this guy's collecting

all the pianos and throwing them out. He's not even reusing them. What? He's just a piano destroyer? AI, AI navigated to his Facebook, went to Marketplace, typed out everything that he told them and then made a spreadsheet of all of the people and their addresses and how much they're paying them to pick up in the best route to take to make it more gas efficient. By itself.

That sounds crazy, but is this guy just destroying pianos? Yeah. Why? He just hates pianos. No, it's just that people. who have emotional attachment to the pianos don't want to just throw it out. It seems like a hard thing to throw out.

Yeah. Like how are you going to get it out? You're going to push it out? Yeah. Need a crane. So instead of selling it, they're giving away for free because they're thinking

that somebody's going to go and use it and they appease themselves saying, oh, it's going to a new artist and hopefully they become that. This guy don't give a fuck about that. He's just trying to make $200 a pop. Destroying them? Destroying them.

Damn. It's insane. The world has changed. Catch up. Anyway. We just went on a tangent That's I usually do We just went on a

We just went down a radical So you're telling me that you don't use it Chat GBT BT now You said it's 200 bucks a month No $20 a month either Oh Seth Oh yeah that's true

Did you buy in that 20 bucks a month to talk to the robot Ladies and gentlemen Three fourths of the optic halo Wasn't playing Beat Shopify Rebell Oh you weren't playing Why weren't you playing

Because I hadn't played Halo in a long time. I didn't want to just get on and just look bad in front of my team. And they're like, wow, this is formal. Plus, I also didn't know the legend was going to play because he's in France. And that also is kind of like chalk to begin with. That's like playing with

like Hydro while he's in France. I don't play with him. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's just kind of like... I'd play with him. I'd play with him. Yeah, you would. You know? But like, I have like a certain like... A thing I have to like uphold. I couldn't just go in and get shit on and be like, guys, it's optic, though.

It's all chill. That was insane. It's all chill. It's all chill. What did you say? It rolls off the shoulder. It was insane. Oh, man.

I'm going to play in the next one. You are? I mean, they're off-season tournaments. They're not even like actual tournaments. It's just stuff to like keep it all interesting because they're delaying announcing the roadmap, which is like fine. It's cool at the throwing tournaments, you know? Like, it's for like a hundred bucks each or whatever.

But like, people have been getting on my ass. I didn't play in it. And I was just like, wait. like an off season tournament. And they won, shut up. Who's been on your ass? No, they didn't win. They got second, huh?

Who's been on your ass? Just people in my chat. Oh. Like, why aren't you fucking playing? I'm like, dude, I didn't even, I didn't know, I'm supposed to be playing these, first of all. What did they play with?

Falkated? Like, there's only one team that's playing with their actual team right now. It's a team that's winning, Shopify. Like, SSG's not playing, phasing playing, we're not playing. Who is Shopify now? Frosty World Two, Cycle, and last shot.

But they're like the only team that's playing. Wait, where do you're saying? my ass and I'm not playing. I'm just like, huh? Is snakebite still on Seninels? I don't know if his team's announced. Or I know they're not announced yet, but

they're not playing it either. Like, there's like, dude, I'm like, so I'm going to play the next one, even the legends in France, and it's probably going to be chalked on Sunday.

Oh, so this Sunday. And I'm going to play in it, and they're going to be like, why aren't you on the fucking watch party? I'm going to be like, dude, there's no fucking winning.

I think what the fuck. You damned if you do. You damned if you know. That's what I'm saying, well, Well, the watch party, yeah. I mean, the watch party this weekend, bright and early, starting tomorrow.

Dude, the major starts fucking tomorrow. It's so late. What time is it start at? 9 a.m. Tomorrow it's 9. On Saturday, or on Friday, Saturday, it's 7.30, and then Sunday it's 9 again. 7.30 a.m.?

Yeah. On Friday? Because there's five matches instead of 4. Holy fuck. So what time do you think we're going to be done by 3? Four matches. I usually estimate like an hour and a half to 2. two hours per match. So

tomorrow, yeah, maybe three, latest four. But Friday and Saturday? I mean, five matches? Fuck, that could be 7.30. We could be done at like 5.30? I mean, no, it's not, it's not going to take

10 hours. Well, no, because it's still the, the last match is still the same time as the first day. So if anything, it's just, we're just starting earlier. We should end around three and four again. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I usually, I'm usually at like two hours per, but If there's no delays that is, then it should be three or four each day.

Yeah. I mean, if it's a three-oh, it'll be like an hour series. But then you have the interviews, which adds like 15 minutes, and then they got to set up. I mean, it just all depends how seamless it is and how many issues they have. It's the first term of the year, and it's in Madrid. So I'm assuming there's going to be a decent amount. Mm-hmm.

Just because the on-site team, I mean, usually international tournaments are just... You all, can I tell you something? Harder. At first, I didn't give a shit that we weren't going to Madrid, and I was like that. But once people started posting pictures and I'm like, oh shit, I was there. Oh, shit, I started getting a little bit of fomo from being honest. Yeah. 36 Michelin Star restaurants, and they are cheap.

You see TJ Halley's team's fucking Airbnb? Yeah, it's just fire. That shit looked insane. They're living like Kings? Did you not see it? No, I saw like the first clip of T's like walking out. Yeah, let me see it, Matt, Craig. I don't have the attention.

I was like, dude, this is like the nicest Airbnb ever seen. It was 15 seconds. I'm so hyped for this, dude Was it? No, it was like the first major of the year It feels like we've been watching Cod For the past two and a half months And there hasn't been a major

It's like Who's in the watch party this week? Fuck Fino Matt Look, look Look, look Dang Probably cheap over there too

I hope this builds a little hype around Codd. much needed. Yeah. I think it's going to be lit. Yeah, no, it's definitely going to be lit. Everyone always talks about Todd in like a negative light, but if you look

at the viewership across the watch parties and, I mean, the viewership is still amazing. So like competitive Call of Duty viewership is still there. It's just the actual game when you try to play it. I haven't played I haven't played ranked or anything. I heard cheaters still suck on PC, but now you can play on console, that's good.

I think the league is still fun Watch, especially when you have a Vets yesterday. So what are you playing on? Still PC? Oh, you have a video? Yeah, I'm going to play on PC when I play. Unless it's like unbearable, then I'll switch. But I don't want to give up the frames.

But yesterday I was watching people and it didn't look that bad. How bad of the frames? On console? Yeah. I think 120. 120 max. So it's not the worst, but also I don't use a PS5 controller. So I'd have to use a PS5 controller.

That's why I don't want to play PS5 either. PS4. Oh, yeah, yeah. I think the PS5 controller sucks compared to the PS4 controller. Yeah, I just don't use the controller. I don't like those sticks, like the small, like, I don't know. But I think the event's going to be hype. I think people love codlands.

I'm happy for Europe for getting a tournament. I mean, I feel like for them, they've been sort of, it's been a drought. There's been no event in Europe since London, the first year of the league, 2019. Yeah, it's been five years. So Spain isn't England, but it's still, you know, if you're in Europe, I feel like getting to Spain is a lot easier than getting to the U.S. happy for them. I hope viewership I feel like we I feel like it shouldn't take a hit just because the start times and

definitely out of whack. I feel like tomorrow and Friday are going to take a little bit of a hit. Dude, no, the amount of people that are going to be at work watching this shit is going to we're going to have a really good viewer trust. No, viewership's I don't think it's going to be bad but I just think it's going to take a little bit of a hit. Like Sunday is going to be popping and stuff. Matt, on a separate tab and we'll get back to this Charlie Intel bracket. Think about like a Friday. of league matches. Yeah, it's a major so it's different. There's definitely more hype

around it, but just think about like a Friday league matches. Viewerships always lower until like a little bit later in the stream because everyone's getting home. What to call duty? Tomorrow is all bangers too though. Tomorrow, every single match tomorrow I think has potential to be good. Oh yeah, every match tomorrow's. Actually, go to games.

I just think right now with Cod, every match bar Falcons matches could be interesting. You just never know. What the fuck? Falcons just struck. The Falcons are like... Bar Falcons matches? Yeah, no, they're O and 12 and hard point. They can't buy one. Yeah, look.

Oh, and 12 and hard point. They're about to tie New York's record, which was 13 in a row in Vanguard. They lose one more hard point. They're about to turn around on the land. It might. Fuck. Dude. All right, look.

I know what you're saying about the viewership, but we're number one, two, three, four. Look where we're at. Oh, yeah. Cod on a weekly basis is not great, but the major still gets good. or like CDL still gets good viewership. Exactly, right? Like where before, like there's a shift happening and where in the past creators, including you, were keeping this thing like up in the rankings when it came to

viewership on Twitch and otherwise. Like it was up there. Right now it's switching over to esports to be the one that carries that weight to level us up on the rankings of this thing. I mean, I think Call of Duty competitive being back on Twitch would just immediately pay dividends for everyone.

Everyone, yeah. I mean, selfishly, again, I always kind of preach it. I would love for it to be back on Twitch. Just because that's our main platform and streaming it on YouTube, we're taking time off our main platform to go do the watch party, which people are like, well, you're still streaming, but it's not the same.

No. that's our main platform. But yeah, I think if it ever does come back to Twitch, I mean, immediately that will be boosted just even throughout the week because there's so many people that are now coming to Twitch on a regular basis to watch it, that it'll just have a trickle-down effect. I wonder how many people watch your stream and then just don't know about your YouTube watch party at all. That's what I was saying, and I feel like it's kind of a bigger percentage than people think.

because I get off my stream on Twitch and I'm like how many people that follow me on Twitch genuinely know that we actually go over to YouTube and do this watch party? The watch party gets a shit ton of viewers but I'm sure there's like probably 10, 15, 15, maybe 20% of people

that don't even know about it and that's why I'm like, I always feel bad because I love doing the watch party but we're also not live on Twitch and that's where people that watch me probably mainly expect me to be. And I'm sure there's some that just don't know.

Yeah. Yeah, bring that shit back to Twitch. Please. Please. I feel like people kind of like, even YouTube, I feel like if you watch streams on YouTube, then you watch streams on YouTube. I feel like rarely do you see people. People usually pick a platform.

The watch party, I think, might be a bit different. Yeah. But I mean, just look at YouTube's like a different beast. Like me and Mark were talking about it like on the podcast a while ago. we've seen people that go live to 20 viewers on Twitch have like 700 on YouTube just because it's such a different viewer base.

Yeah. I never watch YouTube streams unless I'm watching your guys watch party. That's like the only time I've ever watched YouTube live streams. I don't watch any live streams. Yeah, the discovery is hard, like only people that know about what we're doing are going to come watch it. Like it's like it's weird.

It's just stupid because like the way Twitch works, I mean the interface is pretty simple. If Scump is live, you're going to know he's live. YouTube, it's like, you have a bad thumbnail for your stream, there's a chance it doesn't get seen. Like, I've always hated that aspect of YouTube where it's like, despite the content, the name,

if they're subbed or not, you'd also need to have a good thumbnail made for like each stream. That's absurd to me. It's like stinting. How important the thumbnail actually is. Hey, Matt, what would it take for me to go live on my YouTube channel for the watch party this weekend?

What do I need? Just your login? Yeah, just your login. That's it. Do I need to get approval from Activision to do that? Let me Yeah, I've always wondered why you're not going live It literally makes no sense

Yeah, no, no, no I just want to know what it would look like Okay, moving on Seth, Chiefs versus Eagles In the Super Bowl Rematch What do you think? Put it some money on it?

No, definitely not put money on it I think it's going to be a banger though It's the rematch obviously I think it was 3835 a couple years ago I was there live at the game it was tough our defense kind of shit the bed that game but I feel like our defense this year is better I don't know I think we got them but it's gonna be

I mean it's the chiefs you can't rule them out wait you have to go what I forgot it was the Eagles yeah I know that's kind of the thing I don't know too this guy everyone's gonna say you weren't a real fan that you didn't go after talking about the birds of the whole time Now the only thing is The one thing I know

Is if you don't go You're gonna say after that you should have went I could say I know it for a fact I should have went dude Especially if they win For sure what I also have the Eagles winning too I actually think the Eagles win

The thing I think Seekon's a fucking God Yeah yeah 100% That guy is unreal Yeah yeah You wanna hear a crazy stat Yep So there's a statistic in NFL there are certain quarterbacks who all time have been incredible at clutching.

Brady in the fourth quarter, or no, when it's fourth down, and there's like two minutes left in the fourth quarter and they're losing, Brady is five for 11. He's one of the best. There's only one player that's perfect, Patrick Mahomes. Seven for seven. Fourth quarter, two minutes or less, fourth down needs a field goal or a touchdown. Seven for seven. That's an insane statistic. He's just clocked you and stuff. That is a crazy statu. My wife gave me this statistic.

Every time that he's about to have a kid, he went to Super Bowl. And guess what? Patrick Mahomes is about to have another kid. Wait, what? I think the Eagles went, actually. This is going to be his fourth. This is his fourth kid? Yeah.

Actually? Yeah. He's just pumping out rings and babies. Yeah. Imagine me a baby seeing that square footage? You're just like. On his house? Yeah.

That is fucked, man. You're eating grass food. That would not be impressive. What your environment is is what it is. You know what I'm saying? They're going to see that as normal. Yeah, bottom line is though, Seth, you can't knock on it. Bottom line, bro, for real.

I know, man. I want to go really bad, but it's like we have the watch party this week, so that's four days. Oh, fuck about that, bro. You just have to go to that game. No, it's the Super Bowl. Put it to them like this. How much money would you pay out of your pocket to go see your favorite team or your team win a Super Bowl? and then just move that figure over to what you're not going to make that weekend

just fuck the money just like you have to go to that you have fuck the money literally fuck the money it's like your team in the Super Bowl the reason you make money is so that you can afford to see these experiences and you're not even pain to see this experience I know I really want to go okay there's a sim where you're meeting Sequin and you're popping bottles of Sequin and you're both wearing Oakley glasses and you're making a sick guys pose and it's going on Twitter. That's a possibility for you. Actual possibility for you.

I mean, yeah, they'll be fire. Can't miss out on something like that. I mean, I'm not saying that's going to happen. I would go to that game. I can't even taste it. I can't even smell it. I can't imagine either. Yeah.

We're trying to figure it out. Like I've been hearing you say birds for the bowl the whole year. Now they're going to the ball. You're not going to go. Now you're not going to go once they're after ball. Dude, we're trying to figure it out. I got, we're trying to figure it out. You have the tickets.

I'm just trying to figure out my scheduling. Oh, dude, if I'm you. We got to book our flights? No, we don't. They, okay, this is a thing. No one's, you don't have to do nothing. All you have to do is, oh, wait, we don't have to get our flights either.

No. Oh, what? Wait, really? Bro, everything's paid for. Okay, yeah, food. It ain't about the money either, okay? I know, stop thinking about the money. The reason you make money so that you can have experiences like these.

Very good point. And you're not even spending your money to do that. I just didn't know it was all expenses paying. I thought it was just the tickets. It's not about the money either. Wait, you thought you were going to have to pay for the Super Bowl tickets? No. It's not about the money.

It's about the time off. It's not about the money. Okay. Okay. Time off equals no money made? It's about the money then. There's exactly like you got hit offline that all day. There's some passive income somewhere.

One video is popping off. Like imagine like you just get hit offline all those days. Like someone just fuck in with you. Lizard Squawk coming back. It's all of a sudden a teleportation-wise, to pierce in your door and go to the Super Bowl. I'm planning on going. Right now, I'm planning on going. Wait, Matt, can you look up the price of, like, the cheapest seat at the Super Bowl?

I'm curious about how much you cause three-k to get in the door? To get in the door? With athletes, I probably say three. That's crazy. I was taking $1,500 for nose. Maybe two. I'm going to go two. My guess, how much do you think it is to get in the door at the Super Bowl?

No cheaper than $2,500. I'm saying two. That's correct? No. I was thinking 1500 for the absolute bleed Just go to Seed Keekeekin I was thinking like 4K In the nosebleeds

4,000 It's 4K in the nosebleeds What I was like 1500 the fuck Wait how much is the lower ball 10 You have access Bro you're sitting like at 114 No no no bro we have access to go on the Oh or you're on the field

Oh you're on the field Wait what We have access to go on the field You're fucking around Or you're on the field Or you're in Kendrick's fucking halftime show He's like one of the biggest dogs. No, it's one of the main sponsors.

Bro, I want to call you names. Yeah, Oakley's a top dog, man. Bro, if you don't go to this, you're going to regret this shit forever. Oakley's the, what are you saying? The big doggy dog. Doggy dog.

Damn, man. I'm trying to figure it out. What is there to figure out? Where I was going with, if I'm using is that. They are on my ass. Last year, or not last year, two years ago when I went, I was in the. $10,000 section?

No, we were at the $7,000 section. South end zone. Like bottom bowl? Yeah, bottom bowl. I mean, we were like, probably 10 rows up. That might be 15. Yeah, you're way up there. I can't see.

My eyesight. Regardless of the fact, Seth, there's literally a limited amount of situations in which you have to do something. And I'm talking about 99% of the time, you can do anything that you want and there will be no repercussions. No, yeah, this, I mean, yeah, that's, I was saying to my stream, how many times in my lifetime are the Eagles going to go to the Super Bowl? I mean, it could be. Exactly. This could be the last time. Do not.

Exactly. They could just go on a crazy L streak and never go back. Bears fan. Listen, there is zero chance that the people in your chat aren't telling you to stay and stream for them. No, they were saying, most of them were saying go. Yeah, exactly. And the ones that were saying to stay, pride don't even fucking watch you on a daily basis. And they also don't give a fuck about football.

Yeah, you're... The ones that actually know what the fuck is a hater. You are a silly. Yeah, like, why do you get free tickets to the Super League? You should stay, bro, and stream for us. That is crazy. What? Like, what?

Go to that shit, right? He just texted BK, so we're going. I just said any word on the bull. Because we're trying to figure it out. There's nothing to figure out. I talked to Kenny. I talked to Bill Kenny yesterday. Okay.

That's pretty interesting. Gotaga was... Oh, yeah, the addition? Yeah. He's got some insane juice, bro. Yeah, Gataga. Has he been watchboarding every weekend? I think Jess watches.

Only when L.A.G play. Literally only. And you know what? I don't blame him because he's got to be up at like 1 a.m. to do that one fucking watch for you. Oh, sure shit. Yeah, I mean. Yeah, I mean.

Connor McGregor. Oh, yeah, I saw him. Oh, my God. I saw him pressed. I think he pressed the Paul. didn't he or something? No, they were writing, they were they weren't a press tour so they were like talking shit to each other but like they were laughing with each other also. Your tune changed now that I'm here. Yeah it was just funny. The Ovan, the Theo Vaughn like called DePaul

brothers out because he's like chair broke and he was sitting right behind him or next to him and he just fell through it. He's like those guys fucked with my chair and they were like dude we didn't touch your chair. He's like my bad he apologized on Twitter. The fuck. He's like the blog, The Logan brother study, or the Paul brothers study would be funny. They fuck in my chair. I'm in place. That guy's funny in conversation.

Anyway, I think that we are going to be in for a cool awakening tomorrow when we find out. I mean, I think we won't know what the crowd's going to look like until Friday or Saturday. Yeah, you can't judge it Thursday. When you don't water your plants, you don't know how many people are going to show up to a European event. it'll be high. I hope so. I'm sure it'll be high. I know a lot of people from London are going.

I mean, this is like the perfect. What I liked about the way, the old ways is that people from around the world would go to a destination. Like that's why I believe that every champ should be held in Vegas, right? Like the Las Vegas Falcons, like they don't give a shit whether it's in Vegas or not. In fact, like, I don't think that they would, they would rather be anywhere else besides Vegas because Vegas is such a sinful city that they,

that they wouldn't be there. So I suggest that Las Vegas going forward becomes neutral ground for all teams. And every single year, champs is held in Vegas. Yeah. Every year. Yeah. Any major. I'm down.

Like I think places like Toronto, Chicago, like New York City, for example, all places that, like, for example, my parents want to come to Toronto because they want to go check out Toronto. Any places you can hit the double whammy. Go to the Cod event and explore a new place or a place where you can always try. new restaurants or tour different things. I agree with you. Like Columbus, Ohio, for example, I love Columbus. We love Columbus,

but is Columbus gonna, like, bring... There's not gonna bring people there, I don't think. No. I agree with Vegas. Yeah, Vegas is the only place where I believe, like, we belong. Vegas for six days was awesome, but also dangerous. Oh, fuck, we were there.

Because the only thing to do with Vegas for six days is gamble, eat and drink. There's nothing else to do in Vegas. Sure, you can go... Work, gamble, eat. Yes. Sure, you can go to this. Turcos Olai drinking, eating after, eating during, room service.

You see it, you see $25 water's in the room. Friend group at the fucking blackjack table. You just go upstairs. You got to go say hi to him. Then you get four to sit down. Then three hours later. Like to go to the ATM. Then you're stuck.

What are you to stop playing? Like, you're like, guys, I'm broke. I'm going to go upstairs. You can never stop. Why are you going to bed, dude? You're going to die one day. You also, you also, well, that's me. But you also have to take into account that, like you said, like the opportunity

to go and explore a place that you've never been to or go back to a place that you love, like allows for the venue to be that much fuller because it's not just going to be the locals. It's going to be people from, I don't know, all over the world they have always wanted to go to Vegas and now they have an excuse to go to Vegas and experience Vegas while at the same time experiencing and watching the green wall in person. Vegas was sick. Vegas has to be like a top three city just anybody wants to visit in the U.S. Fantastic. Yeah. You know what? We're not from the U.S. You and I haven't sat at a table in almost like four years.

What, London? Yeah. I feel like that was... Yeah. We were on a heater until the haters started to come and throw all their bad vibes into the shit. With the blackjack table?

Yeah. Oh, that was you, right? No, no. No, I didn't bring bad vibes your table. I was a long time. I just heard more bets. I was like, what the fuck are you doing, Alex?

No, he wasn't. It wasn't that bad, but it was bad. He calls no more bets. Uh-oh. He'd have like a 12... Sit the drink over my shoulder. I'm like, wait, what? He'd have like a 12 versus 6 and hit

and I'd be like, come on. Shops. I let it down. Olman did that shit to me last time I was in Vegas. And I was there and I had $300 on a hand of Blackjack. And then he's going to be like, he's like, he's like, I'm like, lose already. And I look at him. I look at him and I lose. And then he starts laughing like, ah, ha, ha, like it was the, like, it was a, and I fucking look at him.

And then the guy, the guy, the dealer like, chuckled. Oh, then I fucking got so mad. Oh, the dealer chuckled. I'm like, I look at him. I'm like, that was funny, huh? fucking put all my chips in, all of them. It was like $1,300. Let's go after I won.

I won that shit, walked out. They caught you on that hand. That's dangerous grounds. I would have been so mad. I would have not gone outside of smoke with omens. I just remember you fuming at the blackjack table. We were all winning and you were just losing. Oh my gosh.

Shotsie's just like this. I'm like this and you're like. Everyone was just collectively winning. And I was getting like 10-2, 10-3, Shotsie Blackjack. I'm like, holy shit. Shit, my luck is horrible. It's always Seth with the $25 chips.

He has eight chips total. He's got 200 bucks. He's got $200. He loses all that. He just says, this place is fucking rigged. He just stands up and drinks the whole rest of the weekend. I've seen him do that like four different times. That's right.

There are two kinds of people. There are people like Seth, and there's people like Nate Schott. Eight minutes at the casino, $11,000 down, asking for another fucking marker within the first 10 minutes that he was there. The best. He made it back. Got himself a hoopoe. Good for him.

If I went down 11K in the first 10 minutes, I would be destroyed. How do you even, what does it do? You play like max limit blackjack? Yeah. Just like private room. No, no, he's with us regular folk. He's in there just betting. Then he did the roulette.

Someone's playing table minimum and like he's playing table maximum. Someone's ruining it, but he doesn't want to be mean. He's winning. He's not. Yeah. Vegas is a sim. Like we were sitting in a blackjack table and to our right was like the VP of marketing for Wendy's. What's up, man?

He said, what's up? Dude, take my number. Let's gamble. I said, sure. Where's the number? Say, give me a four for four. Let's get this going. Where's the number?

We're always looking for QSR. Stephen Wendy's, I saved him as. That's fucking crazy. He's a nice guy. Vegas is just crazy. See, if he wants to sponsor Optic, I'll give you 15%. 15%.

Okay. The guy, when I was in Vegas last month, I'm playing, I'm talking to this guy. We're playing Baccarat. Because Baccarat's like the big money game, which I'm now learning.

Like, everyone that makes big money. They all play Baccarat. But this guy's nice-ass-watch. He owns like a pharmaceutical thing. One guy walks over, fuming. He sits down. He's throwing chips. He's treating the dealer like shit.

What's wrong with this guy? Down a quarter of a million. I'm just like, Jesus Christ. He asked the, what's the manager of the pit boss? He was like, I need a 25K marker. He's all right. He hands him like the highest Aria car you can get, 25K marker, 5K loses. That's because it's just like,

getting up your bet. throwing his hat. I'm just like, dude, this is, I had to walk away. This is stressful, dude, I can't bet with you.

That's not even, I don't know. You just feel like you're like sitting there with a hundred and you're like, what the fuck? Yeah, you feel like a bitch.

Like a hundred dollar hands. He's putting five paper. He's sitting out some watching me. And then I'm like, I went a close one, like a $200 a bet. He goes, holy, stressful.

And I said, dude, you're fucking stressful. I said, me. All right, ladies and gentlemen, it is time for us
