Obviously, there's bits and pieces of it that are very hazy and I don't remember, but let's just start from the beginning. I'll go really quick. I'll give you the summary version of The Bachelor. Welcome back to the... Somebody else do it. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to episode 180 of the Optic Podcast brought to you by Shopify BetterHelp and Cash app. He was acting because I'll start this podcast by giving your podcast the utmost fucking props. Around the bar.

I appreciate it. You're a fucking excellent host. I watch and appreciate everything. I'm almost done with the, with the, with the Bruce one. A little bit of, some revisionist history, right? Some stuff in there. I was going to talk to you about that. But it's all good.

So far, so good. Sure, I messed some stuff up. I messed some stuff up in the last pot about your, your Mono for Two things. It was done in two hours. I knew it was two something. Yeah, it was two hours. You did the Mono for Two montage in two hours, not two days.

Dude, we got to keep, listen, we're getting to that point in which... You're hitting two pieces and shit? Yeah, listen, in two hours. He got to collat. I know you're not talking about harsh scoping. Huh? I know you're not talking about harsh scoping. I know you're not talking about who went out there on the battlefield and help bring us back the...

It's also true. Where's our trophy? Where's the scuff? I have it. I'm going to put it on an actual trophy, though. I'm trying to figure out how to do that. I feel like that shit's not being talked about enough. I think we need to get to bring that back up.

I love the shirt that you're wearing. shit. Yeah. The Chicago Hanspin one. Yeah. It fits a little more snug than it did back then, but yeah, it's a dope shirt. Yes, really, really dope. We got to be careful with the way that we talk about history so as to not run the danger

of rewriting history in the incorrect way. What did I say that was rewritten? Something about the OGLA days and shit? Yeah. Probably something about that. Yeah, something like that. But it's important, it's important that we keep, you know what I'm saying? It's important to make it call duty.

Bible. We should. Write down history. In the beginning there was this. Dodgers. He was good with the UMP. See? Oh.

See, you're starting. You're starting it. He was crazy. You're starting it in a, you're starting. And I never met the guy. I've only heard stories. The legend from the big timers. Yeah, look, you're starting in Call Duty 4.

Like there was definitely a Call of Duty era. Yeah. Right. I think, I think Nameless was just talking about it. Talking about like the history of fucking Call of Duty. Yeah. It needs to be. Somebody needs to make a dog.

Yeah, I know the guy. I know the guy that has always wanted to do a documentary. He fell in love with this. One of the greatest e-sports documentaries of all time, the, what was it called? Smash Brothers. Smash Brothers. So good.

Anyway, long story short, I'm glad I'm back. I was supposed to be in, I'm supposed to be in Indianapolis right now. I was wondering why you're still supposed to be there? Yeah, I'm still supposed to be there. Damn, you fucking Irish exited a bachelor party? No, no, no, I did. That I did. That's crazy.

That's next level. That I did. Just leaves. Were you there for a day? Nah, so. Here's a trooper at mine. Go ahead, though. No, let's talk about your basketball.

No, no, I want to hear about yours because we haven't even heard about like what it was. Oh, you doubled up. Chronologically. We're in the Uber on the way back from the airport after mine. And he's like, yo, I leave tomorrow to Chicago. And I was like, damn, back to back. It's crazy. Go ahead.

Go ahead. No, I think chronologically makes more sense to talk about how fucking awesome your bachelor party was. Because as soon as I got back, I got into another bachelor party. And I did Irish exit the fuck out of that one. I got pictures of me Irish exiting. Was ours crazier? No. Really?

No? Listen, from what I've read in texts, no, it was not. But you didn't get to experience. That wasn't an Irish action then. That was a, I got to get the fuck out of it. It's like, no, because it was a pre, there was like, it started at first. 4 p.m. That basalt party.

Okay. Started at 4. What the fuck's going on here? There's a tactical retreat, man. Dude, it's so many. I thought you had, dude, I thought you hung. I thought you hung a medallion on your optic chain. I didn't know your chain was...

You're about to be the triple chain gang here. I didn't know you were double chained up. He said, I got scissors. I got too close, though. Oh, oh, there it goes. There it goes. No. The optic logo hit the ground.

Now you've got to burn it. No. Now you have to repurpose it and make me a chain out of it. Make me a chain. Dude. I also supposed to be on this podcast. I would have brought the skate decks. The skate decks came in.

We're still doing that Friday? No, Saturday. You're Saturday. Yeah. Damn. Because we have crazy week. Like, fucking I have a... That's a...

That is the... Like, this is... I have a crazy week. I know. You leave to Europe somewhere. I'm just going to break down my... my week. Please do.

Let's hit it. It's ridiculous. No, yesterday. Can I preface this by saying this guy doesn't leave work behind anywhere that he goes. And this is torture but also pleasurable. And it should be a beautiful moment. So I'm looking forward to you not thinking about work at all. All.

Please. Oh, yesterday. Call it 10. Streamed 8 hours. Today. Content. 10, 11. Probably get home 12.

I'll probably stream like 6 to 7 hours. Tomorrow. Me and us have to go get our. get a couple things for the wedding. We have to deposit. We have to hit one thing. Then we have to go deposit and get euros out for the final payment for the wedding. It's leaking.

And then after that, I'm a stream. After that, we have our dance lesson. There it is. We have our dance lesson on Wednesday. Thursday, content stream again probably. Friday. Stream in the morning. Watch party.

Denise's 30th birthday party Well, it's a surprise party, no? Is it? Is it a surprise party? I didn't... Okay. Cut that. Friday. Something happens.

Friday after the watch party, we have a celebration. I can't even say that, can I? Yeah, it's fine. Yeah, you can. We have a celebration. Saturday, stream probably in the morning. I can say probably just because I don't have to usually, but sometimes I do. Watch party, four matches, and then whatnot stream, and then Sunday will probably be,

I mean, same thing. fucking stream, watch party, break down. And then Monday, I might stream, Tuesday we leave. Okay. Can I... At what point do you pack?

At what point do you prepare? Like, for your trip, I'm already... I already have my fits. I might take off... I might take off Monday, maybe, but then that would make 14 days off stream.

And I don't know if I can... I don't know if my brain can comprehend that. Yeah. So, we'll see. All right. So let's talk about... Let's talk about your bachelor party. and how fun it was and how I turned up for it.

Yeah, you know, Hector turned up huge. I mean, everyone, they're turned up huge. Like, seriously. But I couldn't get drunk for the life for me. Wait, why am I hilarious? You're just taking shots back to back. Like, it's not doing nothing to me. No, he actually did.

He had three tequila shots lined up in front of him. Just woo, woo, woo. He's like, man, y'all are pussies. It's not even... Pussy Lanhamus, of course. He's like, this isn't even... This is nothing to me. I don't even feel this.

shit. Meanwhile, he's smoking too, so he's just cross-fading. And I'm like, dude, you're capping. For the record, we cross-I cross-fade since 1997. Secondly, we're done with the 90s. That was not a cross-fee. Secondly, you can't smoke. Like, listen, I know what I sound like,

but the weed that we got there was dirt. It was somehow worse than the weed that I got in 1997, the Shy Town Brown. The Shy Town. Okay. It was, well, how bad was it? I got an instant headache. Really? It wasn't like, it was like, mold.

like soil it's like it's like it's like it's like feel the wetness of the soil that was that I liked that I liked I was one with that I like that I like that I like I like the smell of it I thought it was good but the smoke this is the thing was just not good please continue yeah it's kind of easy to break down my bachelor it's a how can I ask one question yeah how did y'all let Zen win in poker uh you have no idea yeah how angry that made me I was because because you don't understand For like 17 rounds, I said, you can't bet that. You have to bit the minimum big blind.

And then the second round, you can't bet that. He just did not apply. And you know how I am when it's repetitive, like, fucking thing. Like, my brain just, like, seizes to. There's a condition that happens when, like, too many repetitive motions or too many repetitive sounds just drives you fucking insane. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've always had it. It's part of the tism that I had, okay?

But this guy just wouldn't fucking learn. And I'm sitting there like, oh, my fucking God. and he kept getting straight after straight after straight. Really? I've never, I've played. On the river most of the time. He got river to water. It was insane.

I got second. So he beat me on the river for a big pot for me to like actually be able to come back. He beat me on the river again. And I was like, I forget what he had, but I was like, that's just, that's how it's been going all night. You had the fucking card. No, my God. But like in Call of Duty. Yeah.

This guy is, I'm king poker. And then I'm like, you don't even know the fuck. I had to teach you what it's straight. No, and the night before was fucking worse. The poker game the night before was fucking worse. Oh, you all played multiple? Oh, every night we played a game of pool. And then we could have won the second one too, but anyway, long story short.

Me and Mark were parted me. Listen, I'm going to fucking play this and you're going to include this in there, okay? Now, before you play this video, Matt, that I'm about to show everyone here, I need you guys to understand. that at no point was Nate shot being overly aggressive towards Jordan, which is Seth's brother. At no point. If anything, Jordan was just sitting there in amusement because of how funny the whole scenario was.

But what I captured in here just like summed up the night. Dude, they talked about the ledger for like an hour because we fucked up the game and we fucked up. No, not we. They fucked up the bank. I had nothing to do with it. I just sat there just listening for like. like an hour just like I was like this bro he was you can see it in the background bro it was like an hour in hour straight of the following hold the phone

everyone thought they were so smart and I was just sitting there like dude we ended the game we quit the first night poker game ended we tried to restart one by back there one by back there for you to tell me that I am not in this game anymore oh that's the clip you got or That's the shot you got a time like this I don't care of this Jordan He's all back in three times He bought back in

Three times How much was the buy in A hundred bucks Dude This was after night once We were just I'm gonna tell you what time was this recorded I just hammered

This was recorded at 1.22 A.m. Why did Seth say that? Say what? He said, I'm not having it. I don't know I don't know. Dude.

He said, I don't remember what was going on. The thing is, the thing is that from the beginning, I said, that's going to fuck up the game. It's like, nobody can buy it. My thing, though, the way that I've always played poker since 2000 and fucking one is the way that if you buy back, you can only buy back once. And to give you a punishment, you buy back from the same amount. And then you get the same amount of chips. Or you pay one and a half times you're buying and you get the full amount.

The full amount. Yeah. Okay. These guys kept rebind and rebind. By the time that the bank ran out of chips, Jordan, who was chip lead at the time, just said, oh, here, buy in and I'll give you the chips. And I'm like, no, because that makes no.

Anyway, long story short, I was fucking right, as usual. And that ensued. And it was, and I'm just sitting there, times 1-22. I'm fucking sick of this shit. Right? I just want, you know, I want to sleep. That's why, like, tournament. Got to do, like, tournament style.

Tournament, yeah, tournament side. No cash games. No cash games is always tournament stuff. And then we were like mixing two decks. Oh my. It just didn't stop. But anyway, sorry. Let me break it down.

I broke it down. I obviously there's bits and pieces of it that are very hazy and I don't remember. But let's just start from the beginning. I'll go really quick. I'll give you the summary version of The Bachelor. On the way there, three drinks on the plane. Pretty much everyone had three drinks, 8.30 in the morning. So we're like, we're ramping up early.

We land. There's a bar. We take a tequila shot. We fucking go. We get tacos. Another tequila shot. We eat tacos. So we get some food in us.

So we start to feel like, okay, like we're not that bad. Like, holy shit. How good with the tacos? Pretty solid. At the first place? Yeah. I didn't like them. Traga.

Traga means swallow. Oh. Oh. I thought that been trash. No, trugas. Basura. Basura. Oh, yeah.

Basura. but I like the tacos personally. I thought they were good. After that, we hit up Walmart, or we go get my brother from the airport because he just lands. Go get him, go to Walmart, pick up our supplies. We get cards, you know, ping pong balls, everything that you need for a bachelor party, drinks, snacks, all that good stuff. We get back.

We start off in the pool hanging out. There was a little ledge. We were catching football for like hours jumping off this ledge trying to catch it while we were falling. We were like standing way back Did that for hours Dude how tall was the thing though Probably like eight feet high

Okay but the next The other one was probably like The other one was two stories up It was on my balcony that I was staying in It was in my room You walked out of the door And you could like jump off the balcony into the pool The pool was 16 feet deep

Yeah the pool is Oh shit Yeah the pool is hell of deep in the deep end But there was like a shallow section On the other side And then so we did that Then we had the pool tournament Then we had poker night

And that was like day one but we drank a lot. We drank 72 beers between 8 of us. Seven of us. Seven of us. Multiple. Someone wasn't drinking?

Yeah, me. I wasn't drinking. I mean... Bro, the people there were surprised. Yeah. They were like, what the fuck? Like, you, another beer run? Bro, gone.

All the beer was gone. Really? It was insane. And bottles were gone. It was insane. I mean, we were in a house and we had nothing to do but drink and just get after it, and that's what we did.

So then the next day, we wake up, we're back in the pool. We actually had sun the second day, which was nice. The first day was just complete overcast, no sun at all. But it was still warm out. Second day, we had sun, so we were just out in the pool. You know, we're all hung over, so we get back on the horse. We do the pool all the way up until we had lunch, and then we all, we kind of chilled after lunch for a little bit.

We stopped drinking, just relaxed. and then Mavs game, pool tournament, poker tournament. And then that was day two. And then day three, we woke up. We actually got to go into Puerto Vierda a little bit. We went to see, like, the coast. We went to get food at this place, which was solid. That place is fired.

I had some seafood enchiladas, which were fucking bomb, like fresh, precious shit, muscles. Oh, the shrimp there. The shrizona there was off the chain. Love this, Miss Sveje. But yeah, it was great. It was everything that I wanted it to be. It was pretty much vacation with... With the boys.

With the boys. The whole goal. We didn't, like, go to a fucking club. But yeah, The Bachelor was everything that I wanted. Yeah, I mean, we did, again, we leave for the wedding in a week. So... Yeah, you get... Obviously, we're doing a little, like, pre-trip for it,

because we're flying overseas. We're doing a little pre-trip leading into the wedding. So it's like seven days, eight days. of a pre-trip and then the next four days are like getting ready for the ceremony and stuff. So it's going to be crazy, man. It's going to be crazy. Crazy two weeks coming up. Can't wait.

Hell yeah. Can't fucking wait. That shit's going to be fun. So we landed next Friday. I fly to Chicago. I get a call that day on the way to the airport. I say, hey, there's some business shit going down, blah, blah, blah, blah. What are my other businesses?

And I'm like, all right, cool. I'll stay. And I was supposed to be there until today. but man my girls came to visit me on Sunday for Father's Day so June and Liv took the 5 o'clock got there at 8 took him to breakfast took Liv to Supreme I got myself a bunch of stuff and we pretty much just hung out that was the first time that they have been back to Chicago since they left

really yeah so yeah did you go to our old area no no I asked them like you guys want to go see the houses and they're like let's just stay downtown and I was like thank God oh y'all are downtown I will say this, I am on a quest. I am on a mission. I am pontificating the following. On Father's Day, men, as men on Father's Day, we have to make it a point. We have to make it a rule that on Father's Day we do what we want to do.

None of this. We're going to take, the kids want to take you to go see the new Pixar movie. Fuck that. No, fuck those kids too. That's what people in my chat were saying. They're like Father's Day. if you're a father, you don't, it's like your day off. No, it's not.

No, you got to, more the girl, some people here can fucking hear me. But it's like your day off of like your family obligation, you can do whatever you want. No, but it's not. But that's what you're saying. Yeah, it should be. But it's never that way. It's never that way. But that's what my chat was saying.

They're agreeing with you. It should be like that. Yeah, it should be. So I've been, I've been trying to do this thing. And I told Jude, what did I tell you? I told you the same thing. I'm like, what do you do for the Father's Day? And I was like, one, you know that we don't ever do shit for Father's Day, right?

Two, what I want to do Father's Day is nothing. I want to be in a fuck in, I want to be in my office. Oh, yeah. I want to, I want to make, I want to grill some Arrachia tacos for us. And that's it. Right. I like, I like grilling. I like cooking.

I don't mind. I don't see that as effort. But if I have to get dressed up, if I have to host fucking people, I have to, all this stuff, that's fucked up. If you have to go mow the grass so that the people that, that are coming over can feel more comfortable while you're out there fucking on the grill just fucking cooking your shit, burning your shit while everybody else is having a good time. That is not Father's Day.

That's somebody else's Father's Day. Hell yeah. So for Father's Day, gentlemen, we do what we want. Some time off from our responsibilities, sometimes off from the fucking family even. That is what we want for Father's Day. I can't relate. I don't have a kid, so. Anyway.

You know what Jude said to me? you know what Jude said to me on Father's Day? You said. Have your Father's Day? Yeah, I had to remind her, though. Because she was half asleep as she arrived. I'm like, hey, I'm like, no Father's Day? She's like, no, I was like, whatever.

And then she like, she like, she took a small nap while, well, um, while Live was getting re-ready and all this shit. And I was like, she's like, I'm like, yo, come on. We got to go. She's like, she's like, in bed. She's like, well, you know, Father's Day is also Mother's Day. Father's Day also Mother's Day. Yeah. And I was like, oh.

she was joking obviously but she meant it a little bit anyway so the bastard party was for a great great friend of mine his name is Juan Chin Chon known for our long ass time but he's 40 she's like older than 47 older than me and he said we're having a bachelor party I'm like no the first time you get married no no which is what I'm saying how do you feel about that

I don't feel good about that either. I am pontificating on the following. Merry once, that's your bachelor party. Mary twice, you don't get a fucking basher party. I agree. You want to go party and shit, awesome. But you're going to, ain't nobody planning no shit for you. Like, we're going to do this again.

Yeah, dude. Your best man gets to plan it a second time. Imagine if he had the same, he did not have the same best man. I'll tell you that, right? Whatever. But enough is enough. You know, like, you're like, chill old as. But they went crazy.

Yeah, I left. Okay, so look, so there was this thing where, um, now I'll preface the follow by saying that these men are born in ninth, between 1977 and 1985, the oldest, okay? They come from a different era. Okay. So these motherfuckers started, started partying around two. The first meetup was at four. to go have dinner at this bar, bar and drinks.

And then from there, we went to some fest, some street festival that was happening in Chicago, fucking dope city, whatever. And around 8.30, the sun is still up. I remember thinking to myself, there is zero chance that I'm going where they're going to fucking go to next. Wait, you guys were out until 8.30 a.m.? No, no, no, B.m. Oh.

They were like, listen, I'll show you. Whoa. I'll show you texts right now from 4.30 a.m. that same fucking outing damn 12 hours you were like

yo I'll meet up with you guys go to the bathroom and it's a fucking fest and I'm like this is the easiest Irish exit

ever all I had to do was this below the crowd oh man I got to my hotel was like yo did you dip come back

yo did you dip didn't reply didn't reply damn listen I showed up I showed up for my boy I'll be there for the wedding

they know that papa goes to bed at night that's how I feel like when When I go out, especially like Matt Raj, Page, like, they know, like, there's a time where people are going to be like, where did H go? I'm in the Uber back already.

But it might be different now that. How old are you now? 31. 31. The tracking shit? Shared locations. Are you actually 31? Yeah.

I turned 29 in fucking 12 days. Listen, man, 30s are fun. 12 days. You go through a little, like, like, like. mental illness crisis for the first half of the 30, but then after that and you're settled down, you're like, oh shit, 30s don't. Mental crisis doesn't exist.

Oh, it exists. I was freaking out. I was like, what am I gonna do in my life? Like, oh, yeah. I was doing that. But then after I got over that, I'm like, oh, dude, 30s are. Yeah, my 30s were the best in my life. Absolutely.

They're, it's only, it's only a year and a half in, but it's already cracked up to be better than the 20s. You never really grow up, right? Your body, your body ages for sure, but your brain like does not. You start to mature a little bit and you start to like see things differently. But your jokes are going to be your jokes. What you find funny is going to be what you find funny forever.

Forever. So Nate shots fucked. Yes. He loves dick jokes. He loves him. Dick jokes are you throw a dick joke, he loves it. I mean, if you look at when you went to go visit the scuff house, what was like in Pomaj's vlog? So I'm sitting at the out of the house sucking lots of, that was my vlog.

Whatever. I was like, I'm chilling at the optic house sucking lots of dick and I was like, there it is. Hey, there goes Nate. No, it was a really good time.

Just all around, I had a really good week. It's just, I don't know how, but this has been the busiest year of my life already. I would say same. Same.

I would say shame. Yeah, yeah. You're same. I mean, the amount of travel that we've done. Probably me too, dead ass. I thought my life was going to slow down

after I was done playing. No. It's like now it's just. It might slow down after you because you did Stop playing, started watch party, got engaged. Bam, bam, bam. Yeah, yeah.

After the wedding, I mean, it's been really stressful. I think after like that, it's going to be like a huge weight lifted off both of our shoulders because... I can imagine. I mean, it's just every day there's something. Like, you know, the fucking this, this is fucked up. Now, we got to patch it on. It's like every day there's something. I'm not really handling it, thankfully, but it is obviously tells me everything.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's a... After the wedding, it's going to slow down. I didn't think, I don't mean this bad, but I didn't think being engaged was going to be as fun as it is. Like, I feel like right when I got engaged, I was like, yeah, this is fucking, I thought it was like, I thought for maybe it's just like me being like, like, I don't know. Like I've never really been like super emotional or romantic in that sense. But I was like, you know, I'm going to do this because I know she really wants it. And then when I did it, I was like, yeah, this is kind of fucking dope.

Yeah, yeah. Oh, like the set, like what? Like, like, saying fiance and shit. Like, all that is like way better than. So fun. Yeah, it's fucking fun. We've been engaged for a while. So that wore off.

But do you, I mean, you remember? Like, right after that week and shit? Yeah, I mean, I'm trying to like, basket it. I don't, I can't relate. You never had a fiance. Yeah, Jude. I didn't know if y'all just, like, dated and then just got married. Nah.

So we dated for like, we dated for like 10 years and then I proposed and then five years later we got married. Oh, okay. Just buy your time. I get you. No, but I was ready to marry the second that I, that, that, that, that I started dating. I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew she was one. Um, super excited to go to, to, uh, to, uh, to, to, uh, do the things that we're gonna fucking do.

People already, like, kind of know, pretty sure. What? Where is that? Yeah, whatever. Fuck it. I, I don't understand why. They don't. No, let's not, look, if, if they did, awesome. How about some guesses in the chat? You're all right.

Um, we, uh, I have to go pick up my suit. I have to go pick up my suit. Game 2. Yeah, you got to get that shit. I got to get my suit right now. I got to make sure that it fits. I'm fucking excited. Yeah, man, it's going to be great.

The speech is, oh, fuck. Yo, it failed again, Matt. What fuck you doing? It's going to be crazy, man. Yeah. Because they don't know who your best man is, right? The obvious fucking choice. They don't.

No one does. The obvious choice, everybody. Yeah. Obviously. People were saying Zinny and I'm like, what the fuck? Don't be up there crying. Who? Because then you're going to embarrass me.

Yeah, no, I know, dude. I had to do a speech. I didn't have to. I was honored with the opportunity to do a speech for Nate shot at his wedding. And it's in front of like people that I don't know. Right. And although typically that wouldn't be an issue. But since it had to do with me telling something how I felt about someone,

I don't know.

He just got sick. He said he had a fever. He said he had a fever. He was shitting his pants all night. He was late to the watch party, but he fucking... Dude, I've never ever been sick. No, he stuck it out, though, man. When I called him in the morning, I was streaming in the morning,

I was like, yo, are you going to be able to make it today? And he was like, he sounded bad. Well, yeah, but right before the phone rang, he was... You think so? I don't think so. This is all you got. He took his dude. You, like, looked like him right there.

That was fucking weird. That's all he's done. And he's proud of. He's like, this is all I got. You got the shoulders? Yeah, but then Seth calls and he's like, Hello. He said the E.

We got to talk about it. The Celtics win the NBA finals last night. Did you watch? Did anybody watch it? I'll be honest. I know you watched it. I forgot that there was a game last night.

You didn't even watch. Even with Jude? Jude was sick too. Really? We went to Daisies. Uh-huh. And they got stoned. That's a barbecue, right?

No, Daisy's is the best, literally in the top three best restaurants I've ever been to ever. Really? Ever. Oh, God. But the menu was different. It wasn't what it was when I went there to fall in love with it. But this fucking menu was incredible. They had this porketta, which is like beef carpatchew, but with pork.

And they had these, these sesame seeds with these black fucking cherries. And it was citrus. And it was just fucking glorious. Jude who doesn't eat caviar. I had to get the beluga, the beluga caviar. I would have went down on that, some caviar. They made, so Jude's favorite, like, party snack, whatever is Ruffles and the French onion dip.

Oh, Jude. He gets it. Yeah. That shit, slats. She understands it. Well, they made. You perked right on. You like that shit too.

Whoa. All right. They, they're. That is good shit. And I remember this from the first time that I went. They make their own homemade one there. So they cut up the, they slice up the potato right there. They're fried or whatever.

And then they bring out the, they do their French onion dip. It's got a little bit of chives in it, like little tiny little chives. And then they brought out that beluga. The beluga caviar. Hey, my mind was like, oh, I'm like, man, this is what life is all about. It was delicious. You would have loved it. I'm jealous of that.

Next time we're in town, we're definitely going to go. The name is Dacys that's in, uh, fucking Logan. But wherever they have the fucking Puerto Rican parade in fucking in, uh, in Chicago, goddamn. But, uh, North Park, Beach Park. I don't fucking know. Anyway, uh, enjoy the podcast. I got to go. All right.

All right. Hi, man. Take, take, take on. What are we thinking? Uh, you all want to talk about the boys getting slammed or nah? Uh, uh, we could. Shit. I mean, no, I'm sitting there on Sunday.

I was telling Seth this. I'm sitting there on Sunday. Sunday night. Oh, you're saying the optic boys. I thought you're talking about the Mavs. Oh, no, no. Those are the boys. Those are just like the guys. I mean, I was just talking about it. So I was like, oh yeah, no. I mean, they didn't get slammed. They got slant. It was a boring finals. Blake said that he thought it might be a gentleman sweep. I was like, what is that? He said when you lose on purpose so you can win at home. That's what I was like, there's no way. He was like, no way. There's no way. You don't play around. in the NBA finals like that right I look at everything is WWE so it's like

why not why not a better story than a win at home they're trying to sell fucking I mean gambling they're you know what I'm saying they could be fucking with it you never know that's true too there's a lot of you say they took Luke out he fouled out and he was like hella close to his over or something just like little shit like that it's always like I wonder I don't think it is but no I always think that way too that's how there's no there's no fucking way. There's no fucking way. There's too much on the line.

There's too much on the line. There's too much on the line. I think if anyone because I kind of feel that like what do referees have to lose? That's what besides their job. But like, but like if they lose their job

it's a ref. Like anyone could be a ref. That's how I see it. I mean. Damn. Some refs just fucking. But it's true. You can learn how to be a ref.

You can't learn how to be Luca. I agree. You know what I mean? So like the players. the players, I think they're less likely to be corrupt, but the refs are more likely. That's how I see it. Yeah, that's fair.

So, like, if anything sticky has happened, I always look at the refs first, or like the coaches or the staff or something like that. Matt, could you actually pull up the viewership numbers for the final? I'm just curious. You saw Derek White got his teeth knocked down and shit. Oh, dude. It's one of those things where, like, he's on the ground.

His teeth were, he chipped his tooth. His whole front tooth was, like, in half. He chipped his teeth. He stayed out there, though. Fucking. He stayed out there and he went up and blocked fucking Lively's dunk. I was like, damn, we're fucked. But yeah, it was a boring finals to watch because, like,

the first two games were both blowouts. The third game, the first game here in Dallas, they won by like three. So that was like a good game to watch. The fourth game, we just fucking slammed them. Yeah. Won by like fucking how much? 30 or something, yeah. And then game five, they'd slammed.

dust right back. So it was like, weird. Like, how's that? There was no close game besides game three. Yeah, that game three is, that's going to be the one. I don't understand. That's going to be the one. That's going to be the one that they lose sleep on. Because like Luca fouled out like, what, two minutes left in the game or something? And then that's whenever, who was it? Who was it going up? Was it PJ? PJ Washington was going up. And they thought that they fouled him on the fast break when they were down by five. They, they both, he like slapped the outside of his hand as he was going up for a dunk. And everyone was like freaking out about the no call. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. On the fast break. The fast break, like at the end of the game. I don't even remember. A couple minutes left.

They were down five. He's going up. They had like all the momentum. He's going up for a dunk on a fast break. It slapped in the hand. It was a no call. And then like they went back and scored a three or something. I forget.

Yeah. We stream at night. So like I always have it on this side monitor. And I'm just playing. And then I'm like, oh, Mavs are down 20. Oh, yeah, dude. It got worse and worse.

See, like, look at this. Game four. They don't have game 5. So 10.9 for game 1, 11 million for game 1, 12 million for game 2, 11.4. They kind of expect, or. Damn, 4.7 mil. Actually, I feel like those numbers look pretty solid. Except for the 4.7.

That's the only bad one. Because, like, that's the lowest viewership in the last three years, four years is that 4.7 game. What does that mean? 4.7. Oh, yeah, it's 9.62 million. Oh, it's 9.62. What is 4.7 mean? Is that the lowest point of the game?

No, that's, yeah, that's, so 9.62 million viewers is the lowest since 2021. Because that's a 4. I guess that must be like the score or something, whatever, four points. No, I guess those are decent, compared. Decent numbers. Yeah, it's comparing to the rest of the years. I feel like that's pretty solid. But like even last year's finals, when the Nuggets beat the heat, that, that finals was boring too.

So I feel like we haven't had like a banger like game seven fucking just Yeah I wish like look at that we haven't had a game seven keeps growing down I mean look at that we haven't had a game seven since 2016 Yeah Cavaliers and Warriors have 31 million viewers what do you say Holy shit I guess he just got his feelings hurt I guess he heard dude 31 million view dude 2016 was it 31 million Okay, so maybe...

2016 was crazy. The numbers maybe have dipped a little bit for the NBA finals. But that was also like during COVID, wasn't it? 2016? No, that wasn't COVID, right? 2019 was COVID, right? The bubble year is in red if Matt keeps scrolling up. And then those viewers, that viewership is way down because it was the bubble.

It's kind of crazy. I would have thought the bubble had some good viewership. Because everybody stuck inside, yeah. Everyone says I was like... It was so weird to watch, though. Like there's screens in the background, little Wayne's smoking. people in the back. Yeah.

I was like, what the fuck? Like they try, they're, they're playing, they put screens in seats. Exactly. They're pumping in audio of like crowds.

That is what I hate it. And I'm like, I rather hear the audio. Yeah, just let us hear the players. Oh God. Like, even if you have to put a delay on it

and like beep them, people do that all the time on live TV. We wouldn't be able to do that. That's like, I feel like that breaks the, the PR shit. No, it just breaks that third wall too hard.

It's like, you can't know what they're saying on the court. Dude, I don't, I don't know. The gritty shit, you can't know what they're saying. They're saying some crazy shit. Sometimes at the game, like, at most I hear it at the Mavs.

There's like a speaker connected to the rim. But like if they're under there, you can hear them say, go to that shit, man. Like, you hear something. But like when they start talking like real shit, you can't let people hear that because it'll people's heroes will be just. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bitch ass, motherfuck you suck.

Trash. Imagine having a mic in between the defensive. and offensive lineman in the NFL. Oh my job. Because they're face to face. You know they're saying some great, like, they're probably saying crazy shit. Hanous.

I would love to like. They're talking about each other's families. For sure. They're saying some crazy shit in there. And the trenches like that. Like, oh, yeah. That is man on men. Besides like MMA and like boxing,

like defensive linemen, offensive linemen, offensive linemen face to face before the hike. Like that, that is man on man violence. Just test. Just fucking so much, so much testosterone. They're probably in rugby too because in rugby they're all huddled up.

You ever play rugby? DJ Callet. Gatorade. That guy's hilarious. But yeah, boring finals. I was pretty sad last night. I'm not going to lie because I think I watched literally every single game of the Mavs. I know people call bandwagon whatever.

But we did a collab with them. Yeah, fuck it. And I was like, I actually. This has been the first NBA playoffs where I've been very invested from start to finish. And it didn't really matter who I was watching. I watched basically every night. I was like, I told it is last night. She was like, that's it.

That's it. So next year she was like, she was hype because we watched every single night basketball was on. I can imagine. So she was kind of hyped up. Crazy time for Dallas sports. I mean, Rangers win the World Series. the stars get third Mavs get second

and the Cowboys haven't won a playoff game in 20 years so it's like pretty pretty good time for Dallas the Cowboys should be happy that they didn't pull it off

because they would have been on the last leg like let's get us a chip Yeah like imagine the Stars win and the Mabs win this year Everybody just looks at the Cowboys like what you got for us bro

you're the ones paying all the bills Dude if everyone won it would have been crazy Bro, the city would have been on Fire. You know what I... You know what I super regret? I don't regret much in my life,

but the night y'all went down to Riggily. Oh, that was a great... Oh, that night was crazy. Dude, I regret... I had to stay... I had to stay back and edit. And I... Dude, I regret not going.

Dude, as far as you could see... What was that street called? Where all the bars were? Like, oh, right... I remember the bar we went to, too. It was called... Rigleyville? That's what's called.

Yeah. Yeah, Wrigleyville. Yeah, right outside of Riggily. But that whole street is like just bars. Just bars. And it was just as far as you could see down the street was just like shoulder to shoulder. Just chaos. Like as soon as they won, you hear bottles breaking fucking.

Do they went at home or they went away? I think it was away. Away. Yeah, everyone was watching it like this. They weren't, they couldn't see the game. All they could see is like pitch count. Really? And so they were just watching the numbers like as a way to.

Dude, because I went to. This was before streaming on. your phone, I guess, when you can just sit there and watch. I'm surprised they didn't put it on the fucking screen. Yeah. It had a nice screen that hangs like over and everyone outside it can see it. Yeah, but they didn't have the game on? They didn't have the game on.

Dude. People were climbing on street lights. Oh yeah. I mean, looking out here, it's kind of depressing. Oh, yeah. The finals banners. The finals banners and it's just a ghost town. Oh, it's just.

Could you imagine if they won yesterday? Now to think about it. Yeah, like everybody's workers and everything, that just, that was their last day yesterday realistically. Once they tear the shit down, they gotta tear the finals. They gotta tear all this shit down. That's depressing.

That's the worst part. Every time I leave after an event and Corey Dunn is like gathering his people and he's like, all right. So somebody's got to get the banners here. And I'm like, all right guys. I'm out.

I always feel horrible at that point. Because like the tear down is way worse than the setup. You think so? Because the setup, at least you know something's coming. The tear down's like, the tear down's like, dude, I'm exhausted.

We just worked a weekend. I feel that. Yeah, but yeah, but then they're then, I mean, it's offseason time. So all the staff and shit, like they're just, instead of at games, now they're on like desktops working on Excel sheets and shit. Russ is performing here tonight? Russ is, Russ is here tonight? Yeah.

Oh, shit. Maybe it won't be that depressing. Yeah. He's going to be like, sorry. What songs does he sing? Uh Loving and low now You're moving a song now

Something like that Oh losing control Losing control that I know that song That's probably the only one I know though Pull the trigger I know that one too I know some of his song

He sells out arenas He's big Yeah he sells out arenas He knows how to do it He posts his like actual music checks Like he doesn't hide Yeah he doesn't hide how much he makes He's independent

Purely independent Really Yeah He probably has help for his tours because like I think you have to be something five five something with live something with live nation he's five five yeah I didn't know that I mean looking at him he looks he looks taller I didn't know that I'm not roachian I'm just saying I just thought he was yeah I did too yeah House of the Dragon is fucking back oh yeah we're watching

we're in Westrose again yeah Davis Davis brought me here today and we were like just talking about a little bit dude you got to watch House of the Dragon really Got it. You didn't watch Game of Thrones, did you? That's how my kind of... Yeah, I mean, if you were to watch anything... You'd know, like, the house is a little better, but... I was going to start on the bear.

That's what I was going to start watching. The bear? That's not Game of Thrones. No, I know that. No, I know that. Just so you know. I need to watch Game of Thrones. That is what I need you to watch.

No, it's dope. You got to sit down the night and you got to bang out the first. season of House of the Dragon. And if you hate it, you hate it. I might be able to do that. House of the Dragon is, I mean, you got to pay attention, but like... The Bears dope too, though. That is...

I haven't seen it, though. I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it. But everyone raves about it. So it's got to be. Yeah, I haven't seen it. That has, like, lit from shameless, right?

Yeah, yeah. Shameless is a good show, too. Yeah, I watched the first episode last night. I was so worried that I was going to get it spoiled on stream, which is why I'm kind of, like, Hector's playing with fire, because people will spoil this. He always does that shit, though. Because he's waiting until all comes out, and I'm assuming it's eight episodes. So that's two months down the line.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, no way. He got, he got Game of Thrones spoiled in season seven. Oh. You know the scene with the dragon? Yeah, that got spoiled for him. And I was like, dude, are you serious? Like, why wouldn't you just like, and he was mad? I'm like, you can't be mad.

Yeah. This is your choice. Oh, yeah. If you waited, I mean. I was worried I was going to get it spoiled, and I didn't watch it. I watched it day two. I didn't watch it day one because we had the breakdown in that long-ass watch party day. So I got home and I was like, I can't watch it tonight.

I'm not locked in enough. Dude. But dude, what a return. You remember that kid, the guy that made this dance? Backpack kid? Backpack kid. I followed him on Instagram back in the day. And this is when The Avengers was happening, like in game and shit.

And I flew to L.A. to watch it with Jack and Maven and everybody. and I was off of social media because I'm like I'm watching it a day later so I'm not I'm not like going on Twitter or anything I deleted Twitter deleted everything off a phone somebody sent me an Instagram link and I clicked it and then I scrolled once and it was Backpack Kid

who had tweeted a black screen and all it said spoilers if you haven't seen fucking Avengers all it said is Iron Man dies and I fucking hated the kid ever since I'm like I unfollowed him blocking him on everything like fuck did he actually die yeah iron man you haven't seen the avengers no oh well fucking spoilers i mean well how long ago was that the grace periods are over yeah it is he he tweeted that or he put it on instagram the day of the video just a black square iron man

And I'm just like, they didn't see it, they didn't see it, but I'm like, I was pit, dude, I was pissed. I would have some hate for him too.

When he goes on Kai's stream and gets crowned by Druski, I'm like, fuck, he deserves it. He deserves it. Unplug his shit harder next time. He's dumb shit out of here.

Get his ass out. Did he go on Kai's stream? Yeah, Yeah, he went on Kai stream and like performed and Druski grabs the chord where the piano is. Was this the most recent one? With Kevin Hart. Oh shit. Yeah, that's Backpack Kid.

I haven't seen the clip except for he like does a telosho thing and he's in the middle of performing and Druski just reaches over, grabs the power cable and he janks it out. Really? Drusky's hilarious. Where is it? Where is it? I love what he does is a little bit where he's like freaking out and he starts yelling and breaking shit

he's fucking insane look at Kevin Horr he just Are you still going though? Get that shit out of here And then Kai's like I liked it man You get the fuck out of here Yo

Not everything I love bro he is what this stream had me crying laughing he is one of the funniest people bro this was before this what we were watching it it was like me Matt Mace Andrew and I think Denisa is I think Kaylee already left and we were watching that that was the day before we left for their bachelor

for the bachelor we were loving it his like switch is so good like LeBron calls and LeBron goes what up my and then he goes when did Braun start saying that hey got you Y'all heard what LeBron said. Dude, that shit is hilarious. He didn't stop either.

He kept going on. He's so good. hilarious. Dude, the worst feeling is we go live. We go live and then somebody goes, yo, Kai just went live.

And I looked at Blake and George, I was like, what are you all want to do tonight? Y'all just want to watch them? Like, that's what I was scrolling down my following list and it was Kai up top. And then it was people watching Kai.

Oh, yeah, that's how they all the time. Oh, everyone. Everyone was just watching that stream. Shatsu, he was watching him.

I was like, dude, Just start watching the jail one. He's like, they're laying in the selling shit, and he's bickering with someone in the other cell next door. He's like, what you in here for? And then dude's like, shit, domestic violence. And then Drewski is like, I got TV shows. I'm on TV.

These motherfuckers talking about domestic violence. It was too funny, bro. The three of them flow. So people say that Kevin Hart and Kai look like just the same. They're like the same person, but like years apart. They're a nice trio together That shit was funny They work well together

Dude I can't believe they drink the whole time Yeah Cam Hart's just sitting there drinking I was drinking He was drinking for I'd have a headache It's cool to see like A list celebrities In like long form content like that

Like because a lot of PR A lot of people's PR Like you're not gonna see Katie Perry On a live stream For 12 hours I mean It's only risky if you're fucking Because anybody could say anything

Like Yeah There's a lot of shit that. I mean, all that shit with Ray, like, because he's a comedian. So, like, Ray says something about him being short. He shoots, like, racist jokes back at him. And, like, people, that's all in the sake of comedy. And, like, people will grab onto that and put it online and be like, Kevin Hart's racist.

You know what I mean? And so, like, PR teams are probably like, I'm not fucking with that all. So when they were joking about the right shit, I'm like, y'all be careful. Yeah. Because if Kevin Hart gets canceled off, or if Kevin Hart gets backlash off of this, he'll never come nobody is coming on it's gonna be blue faces

and shit like that for the rest of ever you know what I mean oh god so like I'm so glad that shit went went really well that have you seen that clip

of blue face and his girl and she breaks a wall puts a hole in his wall some shit that's that Kai and he's like he's like yo you put a hole

in my wall at that moment he's like and she goes you're rich you can pay for it and he goes you put a hole in my wall that's when people knew that like or that's when I knew like people were on kai's side no matter what like as long as as long as like if the other person was being a dick um okay

so what I was about to say with the boys getting slammed the boys yeah boys yeah uh I was telling Seth I was we were watching on Sunday I was watching on Sunday and you know they're one and three and I had already I had already filmed an episode with Bruce at a round the bar episode and we're drinking and talking and chilling and I'm like dude if they go one and four and then I upload this video of us me and Bruce drinking and like talking and shit

people are gonna get it's gonna get so much backlash so I'm sitting there watching I'm like please win please when they go up and I'm like they go down they went up to O in the control yeah it is and it just and then they came back on map four which was nuts they came down like 120 to 20 he came back, won that somehow.

And then it's a tight... Tight game five. And then they just cool... From what they lost to, to that loss, though, they played them fairly well. Oh, they played infinitely better at the last map, or the last series. They just didn't close it.

They could have been up 4-0. Going into that last... Going to map 5. That's how caught is. That's how it's always been. It's how it's how online is. Oh, online. Fucking...

But yeah, people, it's funny, there's a few people that come into my chat and they're like, what are you going to do about the boys? Like, what are the boys? I'm like me. They're practicing. Fuck, are we supposed to do? Yeah. We're doing the best of what we can from where we are. I got words of me.

I still got a making winners. Huh? Yeah, yeah, they should. They should. I mean, they have to beat Toronto. It's not going to be easy. And Toronto's been looking like better again. So it's going to be hard, but I got faith.

Yeah. I always got faith. And they play Boston first, right? Yeah. If they lose to Boston, then we can start. No, what fuck? What are we doing, boys? I went toward the
