At 829, I get a text. And it's for me and Seth. And it says, hey, Hector, just a heads up. Seth didn't even come by today at all. Figuered that you would have an opinion on that. All good if not. You would probably side with him anyways. I'm like, Matt, he had a sponsor stream.

Oh. It's like what Sidney says. It's like, you show Seth favoritism. Like, yeah, because it's funny. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to episode on 189 of the Optic Podcast. This episode is Bruns me by Kemp. Cash app and you'll learn a little bit about them more in the upcoming minutes. See how you said that troll?

Because we're on the couch. Yeah. You're like, you're, I'm relaxed. Yeah, makes you like, it's too relaxed, though.

I feel like, I, I got to tell you about my childhood. See, like everyone's going to go like this, lean back. I never appreciated it the way that my mom used to tell me that I was dropped off at her doorstep by the Taramara clan of the Indians in the mountains of

Chihuahua. And it wasn't that it hurt my feelings because I knew she was joking because I was the darkest out of all of her children. Bianca, my sister's light skinned. I'm just, I was the dark one. And she was always like, you got dropped off. What did this have to do with being comfy on the couch? Oh, I just thought that we were having like a therapy session and shit. I just woke up and shit.

I was like, what? I just woke up and I just teleported to do another comfy, comfy, comfy sitting comfy. Cumpy. Cumpy? Cumpy. Where'd that come from? You're so comfy? You're so comfy.

They're getting to me. Yeah. They're getting to me. We got a man, money biscuit to the right. We got my man fucking Nick Maniac Kirshner thinks he's going to be running faster miles than me. But once I get my shoes through the door, the kid's going to learn that this 44-year-old phenop is a phenom for a reason. The scumper jumper returning fresh from Saudi Arabia.

We'll tell them a little bit about that place. Oh my God. I felt crazy the past two days. This is my, this is the third day. See, I don't even count this is the third day because the first day. Actually, no, this is the third day. Because we got back at like 8 p.m. That doesn't count. You get back at 8 p.m. I was asleep two hours later.

That don't count. So you did fall asleep? It took me like, no, yeah, I fell asleep at a decent time. But I woke up just feeling unrested. You know how you wake up and you're like... Yeah. And it doesn't feel like you slept and you're like, what the fuck? I feel weird. I hate that.

That's how I felt the past two days. Today I feel like more normal, which is good. I feel good. The best thing that we did while we did while we did, were there is not let the time zone change affect our sleeping schedule. I was going to bed at 5 a.m. I feel like y'all sleep like babies. Yeah. Well luckily everything there. I piss and shit myself through the night. Seth, bro, I remember Seth told me one time he was like, you know, no, I think I was just talking about like waking up like multiple times in the night and Seth was like, no, I just go to sleep and then I wake up.

Yeah, I'm like, what the fuck? You wake up in the middle of the night? A hundred times. To do what? Think. Do you just wake up? Just wake up. and start making up scenarios of like what I've been doing bad. No, I don't know. I just, I wake up. It has to be at least like five times a night. Unless I have to 10 and then I usually piss like twice.

Unless I have to pee like I drink water right before bed. Like how? Like how? Dude, that just blows. Please. In the comments below, let, like I don't know if I'm the outlier here,

but that's just insane to me because my entire life I've always woken up so much. It's one of my best. I'll piss twice. You do wake up though. No. No, dude, not even to take a piss. Like, rare is the occasion where I have to get up to go pee. You know, like, when you're having those dreams where you're going to go pee and then

like, you're like, oh, man, if I just let more. And then you're like, oh, shit, that's that go pee. You know what I thought about? You're like, you're like, you're dreaming that you're about to pee and then you're peeing and then you're like, oh, I'm about to let it go. And then you're like, oh, shit, that's real pain. If I wake up and I have to go, I just, I just get. You're not peeing the bed?

No, what? No, I'm saying like you wake up, you're like, oh shit. I don't know. It sounds like you might be peeing the bed. I don't know why I remember this. When I was a kid, I was sleeping on the couch. I used to be like scared as hell of the dark. And my room was in the back.

Bro, I remember I had a dream that my mom was giving me a tuna fish sandwich. And I woke up like this. I'm like, I'm tweaking. That tuna fish. That shit's good, though. Wait, so you guys have never had a dream where you're peeing. And then all of a sudden when you're about to really let go, that's when you wake When I was a kid, that happened to me and I really pissed a vet.

Oh, what? No. No one ever put your hand in water and then you pee the bed and everyone laughs at you? Like grown man piss? It doesn't smell the same as when you're a kid. No, I'm not, I'm not as a grown man. What do you mean? It doesn't smell the same.

That's fucking awful. You think it's raunchier? Dude, think about what you eat now, what you drink now versus what you did as a kid. Oh, yeah. My body is not as pure. No, that's what I'm saying. It's not a pure at all. No.

As a kid, my breakfast was like frozen pink. cakes, hot pockets. We were talking about that way. Like, I was eating. Me and Michelle were talking about it. Like, when we have kids, which we'll see how soon this will be. But when we have kids, like, what we're going to feed them. Like, we're going to be those parents that, like, make them do activities and they're

going to eat clean and eat healthy. But it's like, who knows when it actually happens? You might be like, oh, I don't give a fuck. You know what you want. Like, as a kid, just thinking back, just give up on them. Just fucking, I don't care. But as a kid, as a kid, like, I was eating. I can't believe I was like waking up before school, just eating like hot pockets.

Just like a pepouroni pizza, two pepperoni pizza hot pockets, like orange juice, chocolate milk. And like that's how I start my day or like donuts or a bowl of sugary ass cereal. It's like, how is that not so much more talked about than what it was? Because that seemed that was like every kid's childhood. I mean, information. Think about like all the independent research that happens nowadays versus back then. With social media, you just know everything now. Yeah.

Like back then, our parents were probably so dumb. The hell. They just, they weren't dumb just not informed yet. Listen, you got to think about the fact that your parents were being parents for the first time ever also. That's what I tell live like sometimes. I'm like, I'm like, darling, if you feel like I'm lacking like somewhere, please. This is my first time. I don't know what the fuck I'm doing.

I'm sorry if I, you know, if I ruin you. But I think we do pretty good. I guess in the end, as long as they, you keep them alive, you feed them and you water them. Like, they'll be fine. That's what's most important. That's it, man. But I wanted to just say something. So luckily, I just wanted to throw something in really quick.

But we got lucky in Riyadh because everything happened at night. So like it allowed us to sleep. If everything was happening in the morning over there, we would have been toast. Like everything we had to do. do was like past like three or four p.m. pretty much for the entire trip. Yeah. So dude if we had to wake up early like when did the cod team play like when were they playing so we started at like what like 8 a.m. here so that it's eight hours ahead there so they're starting at like 4 p.m. so that's not that bad because like you felt like semi-normal like yeah late afternoon early evening that's when you

started to feel like okay I feel normal again but dude mornings felt great. Yeah felt crazy. Well, I mean, I woke up at noon. I woke up at one. I would stay in bed until like three. I was literally like not doing because over here like juice asleep. Who am I going to talk to? Yeah. No one's up.

Twitter's dead. Nobody's streaming. Like I don't know what to do. I was sitting in bed watching the history channel. No bullshit. I was watching Hunter Hunter. I didn't want to like use up all my. You can fly your way.

I didn't want to use up all my like playing content in the hotel room. So I was like I was in a tough spot there. We fucked up though. They had Apple. TVs that you could ask the Fred Dess for? None of us asked for them. What did you guys eat out there? Of course they did.

We ate the first day when we got there we ate capsa which was these It's like a traditional dish. I don't know if it's a traditional salty dish but it's like yeah chicken and rice. Like a Middle Eastern dish. The rice was fire. I didn't,

the whole time I was there I was not hungry at all and maybe it was because of the sleeping schedule or what but I I finished I finished all the chicken. It was fucking delicious. And they were like tiny little like regular chickens, not these American fucking GMO, beast,

Hulk chickens. And they were delicious. We had that, we had the bur- so we didn't really like explore too much. We kind of stayed in the hotel for the most part. We were there for work, you know. Yeah, we didn't really explore, but we had, so we had the COPSA and then we had one of the best

cheeseburgers I've ever had, no bullshit. Like, from the four-season. I mean, it's the four seasons. Like, they know what they're doing. Yeah, yeah. One of the best cheeseburgers I've ever had hands down. That shit was gas.

And then we found this one spot. The only spot we really were going out to was actually at the boulevard, which was where the e-sports event was happening. And, dude, we went to this place called Cabana. They had Shisha, so, oh, they had Shisa, so we get Shisa, and then they had this Wagu beef wrap that was unbelievable. Never in my life.

Unbelievable. It was the find of the trip. It was like, we were like. Shisha was fire. Yeah. Shisha was good. There's no alcohol there. I have to get some smoking.

No alcohol at all. Like, you can't. Like, you can't. God. There's like not liquor stores. No, there's zero alcohol. That dope. Even on the flight leaving, there's no alcohol.

So like our flight from Saudi to Riyadh. Like literally no alcohol, it's just like, no, nothing. It's illegal. I mean, from what we heard from, from local, from non-locals. I wouldn't have made it. Is that if you want to, if you look for it, you can, you can find it. But it's like you'd have to. Then you're walking around drunk.

Nobody else is drunk. No, no. Dude, I, I, I. I. I'm down on that. Listen, man. Fuck that. It was.

They got to approach girls sober and shit. No, you can't even do that. You can't approach girls. Like, you can't do that. You all had to do the Eastport or the, yeah, the ESports Award sober and shit.

Sob. What do you mean? You think I would have drank before that anyway? Oh, maybe a shot or something. Hell no. Dude. Just get you a little. I had a cold sore.

Get your little smile. I had a cold sore for the first time since I moved here from Chicago. It's healed now. It's gone now. Completely gone. He was tweaking about it. The whole time.

I was like, I'm a very vain. He was like, does it look bad? I was like, I was fucking. I was like, I felt like this. I had this big. He asked me, he was like, would you do the award still with this? And I was like, I mean, yeah, you have to. He's like, would you still do it?

I'm like, they give you makeup? Dude, let me tell you how this all went down. I have this thing. And I'm like, I'm so self-conscious about it. I'm like, fuck. It's like, like, in eight years, I don't get it. And now I get it when I'm about to be on national TV. Was it on national TV?

Yeah. Like over there? A national TV. It was on national. Like they said like 10 million people tuned in or some shit. I don't know. I heard that. We heard that and I was like, whoa, we weren't told this.

I thought I was just like their cable over there. Yeah. It was on like cable. Like their MSNBC or. Dude. Yeah. The, the. Damn, that's crazy.

I didn't see the rebroad. I was just watching you. Dude, I tell you what. I have. I have. I have. haven't been to a cleaner city, maybe Tokyo. Did you guys know that I went to Tokyo?

I'm kidding. It's a joke. It's a joke that I keep time. It was one of our inside jokes. Just Hector kept bringing up Tokyo like every opportunity he could. He's like, did you guys know I went? Yeah, but I was the one that caught himself bringing up Tokyo. And then every time I would bring up Tokyo, I'm like, did you guys know that I went to Tokyo?

Bro, it was clean. There was no graffiti anywhere, which is like a very, very like, telling for me, like what kind of culture they have. but like they they don't fuck around over there like it's like you no graffiti no graffiti no trash anywhere you can't steal zero trash literally you no one no one no one's homeless no one steals anything because no homeless didn't see didn't see many i mean dude i don't even know how there would be homeless it's 115 degrees like like like i i tried i read up i read up i i read up i i i read up in the culture a little bit and like what they do and don't but it's like it's like one and a half or like you get back twice what you where you where your crime was or something so

like if you punch someone, you got to get punched twice. Wait, are you talking about Japan? No. No, Saudi, sorry. Sorry, sorry. Japan, there's liquor. There's no weed in Japan.

Is there, is it, is the, punishments actually, like, really bad for, like, say you just litter. I mean, I didn't really. It's not going to be bad, but, like, you'll get in trouble for that. Like, they don't accept any of that, any type of, no, they don't,

no, they don't, no. Disturbing the peace. Well, I also, I was told that the laws are, like, different for locals there and like people visiting like you i mean obviously you're not going to go disrespect their country's lulls but like if you were to do something like that you probably just get like looks or they'd be like yo what the fuck yeah they'll give you a warning but if you're local you're fucked anyway long story short the the four seasons was super super nice it was safe i felt like i was dreaming the whole time i was there because i was like so zonked on being

wide awake at 3 a.m which i'm never yeah they got we there? We? Nothing, no. There's nothing, man. You wouldn't, you wouldn't survive out there, man. Nick's like, could I make this?

Sobe. Nick's like, could I make this trip? You wouldn't, you wouldn't, you wouldn't survive out there, you would not survive. You would not survive. Overall,

it was a very cool experience. I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, that was crazy.

That's rough. Uber to Uber. Uber, Uber to Uber? Let me tell you. And he started it at the start of our, we were like five minutes into our Uber when we left our hotel.

Basically 24 hours. A full day. But he started that late. So there was an extra 30 minutes in the Uber there and an extra 30 minutes back to our home. So add an hour to that. It was 25 hours total of travel. Total. From one door to my door. I think my Italy. That was the

only bad part about the trip. Seriously. And also we got, like we had laid down seats. They weren't like what I'm used. What I'm saying. That must have been rough. No, we were on Turkish Airlines.

And, I mean, it was really nice. Just the food, though, it's like, it's very catered to, like, Turkey. And I'm not going to lie, it was just, it wasn't for me. Like, I'd rather have, like, the fucking fake American Airlines, like, mac and cheese or whatever they're giving us. The vegan hot pocket they give you. Like, they're, like, actually giving you, like, you know, high, high end. Like, I had one of their traditional dishes. It was, like, a pita with, like, a spinach.

and feta cheese in it was like a cassidia kind of yeah but like i was just they have like local dishes on the airline so it's like not what we're used to but it was still it was still good the lounges were cool that smoked salmon was no joke smoke salmon was fucking as they had something at the award ceremony let me tell let's talk about the the the ceremony okay yeah set is giving his lines i'm giving my lines and the whole time i'm with puckett and i'm like oh shit we got it easy all we got to do is read this shit i read ads all the time it's got be a fucking breeze. He had puck it with him the whole time. I was like out on an island. I will say and this is not, this will go into a joke later about Nate shot. But this guy

was like was preparing, preparing. Like literally I was like, I was like, I understand. It's like I got to know a little bit more of you on this trip because I literally saw you working. Yeah. On something that isn't what you normally do. And you were fucking, bro, he was taking notes, looking in the air and shit. That was fucking good. I only tuned in a little bit that I didn't see you but like I would just tune in randomly and sometimes I'd catch Seth

and he was so good like just that the like smiley whatever he was saying but he was just like he was on his shit you could tell thank you thank you yeah I over

I over prepare for things that I'm like nervous about I always overprepared so at least if I mess up at least I know I like dude you were a natural at least I know the preparations there I didn't like I didn't half ass it Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But, like, well, we had such different roles because yours was mainly, like, teleprompter, but I was, like, the in-crowd hosts. So I was, like, I- You kind of got to, like, win it, like, just- Well, yeah, so, like, my segments, you, like, kind of know what your segments are going to be, but I had, like, bullet points, like, things that I wanted to really hit. So, like, if I ever, like, started to slow down at a point, I could just look down really quick and be like, oh, this is next.

Kind of just segue into that. But there were some segments that were not planned, and they needed to fill time, and they were like, just get out there. And I was like, what do you mean? Just get out there. I don't even know who just won that award. Like, because there's just so much going on, but it ended up working out. Yeah, it was their first time running it there.

So obviously there was going to be some hiccups. And we knew going into it. Obviously, it's live television. So, you know, you got to be on the fly on that. But I went in there super confident except for obviously the Colter. But once they put makeup on me and the Colter kind of got hidden, I was back. I'm like, I'm confident. I'm like, I'm, you know, I'm working the.

room like I'm talking to everybody like everything's cool and I'm like man this is how women feel when they put on makeup they just get elevated I was like oh my god anyway I get there and immediately I feel I'm like I'm like man like it hit me when we were in the tunnel and I'm like the teleprompter's not gonna work I had a feeling and sure enough we get up there and then we're doing something and then what was fucked up is that sometimes they would mute your mic and sometimes they wouldn't so I was on stage and Seth's manager or what would you call her? Stage manager. Yeah, Seth's stage manager because we each had our own

was standing right in front of the teleprompter and if you looked at the other ones, you would have been on screen like, you know, looking at the air and shit. Yeah, you could tell you were reading. Huh? You could tell like, I asked my chat. They were like, could you tell that like we were reading

some segments and they were like, yeah? Yeah, you could. And I'm like, and I'm like, she needs to move. But like anybody. But I was like, I had it in my mic, I'm like, my mic in my ear and I'm like, she needs to move. and then you heard the whole room through the speakers,

she needs to move. And I'm like, and I'm like, no! And I'm like, fuck, I just ruined it. The whole, I felt like I was shit in the bed the entire time up there because I would start reading something and then it was stop and then it would be on pocket signs and I would do it and I'm just sitting there like, here in the headlights.

There was this other, and again, listen, I'll tell you what. It wasn't, it had nothing to do with the people working the event. It was more of the technical, you know, bullshit that we had to, you know, sort of navigate through. When the guys went up there playing that dope-ass songs, I was supposed to go on stage with them and say, you know, okay. Rob Landis and Marcus Veltrie. They were so cool.

They were there until like 4 a.m. with us. Yeah. Like 3.30 a.m. at rehearsals. Because rehearsals started at 11 p.m. for me and Seth. And it ends at 3.30 a.m. And I'm like, oh, wow. Thank goodness we did them because so like I just, again, we've never done that. We've never had like the thing in your ear where people are talking to you, like,

while you're trying to talk. You can hear yourself in the room. So it's like there's just so much going on. It's easy to like kind of tweak because there's just so many. You're hearing yourself talk. I lose it. There's someone talking in your ear like this is what's next. So it's like I was doing like one of my first segments and thank God we rehearsed.

Because Puckett and him were joking in my ear and it caught me so off guard. I just froze. I was like, I don't remember what I'm talking about at all. And I like I froze during rehearsals and I was like, fuck. That can't happen tomorrow. But I did freeze during rehearsals Because like I was just You're not you're not used to it

Like you think you are This thing is like deep in your ear And you just hear Puckett like And you're like what the And you're like what the fuck? It's a good thing we have Puckett there man It was a good thing we had Puckett It was a good thing we did rehearsals

Bucket's a profession Puckett's probably been through hundreds of those Dude yeah He probably just doesn't even like Brewer at this point There was a guy there that was there for 56 days 57 57 days.

For what? For work in the Eastports World Cup. Really? Yeah, his name's Quick Shot. Oh, yeah, because isn't it? Isn't there a bunch of different games, a bunch of different teams?

I think it's 21 different games. Yeah. 30 different clubs. For what? Just like a few months. God. Two months. He was there for 57 days.

Over 35 teams competing for over 81 prices. The largest prize pool in e-sports is street. What was he doing? Just compensate this thing? Like hosting. Oh my gosh. For like every single game and like keep this shit going. What's his name?

Hot Shot. Damn. Quick shot. But I will say this. He's a league of legends. Like he comes from me. I wonder if he got a bag for that. Who knows?

But listen, there's there's level. There's levels. Yeah. There's levels to that shit though because that guy like, you know, off camera he sat down and he's like, hey, what do you want to talk about? And then the CEO of Eastport Awards, Mike said, oh, I'm going to do this, that and And he's like, all right, save that for the end because we're going to do this in the beginning. I'm like, I'm like, oh my God, this guy's like literally in charge of his fucking domain.

You have to be with live, with live stuff like that. Like, you don't want to get up there and like not know what to ask or not know what to say. Especially like then. You're doing an interview. You would not have made it out there. It was a buck, a buck 11 in the shade at five. Like what they did? No.

Fuck no. You would do it? No. Yeah, I would FaceTime. I would panic. I would choke. Wait, what? Everyone would laugh.

Y'all be sitting here watching live. My face time I cry I face time Matt beforehand And he was like He was like don't choke And the whole time I was like And I was like Matt

I know like Dude Matt wouldn't do something like that I feel like What? You think Matt would do something like that Like get up there But he would be good at it I'm sure

Yeah But he would do it now He was like he's like He's like don't choke And I'm like dude The show starts in two hours What do mean don't choke He's like

He's like there's gonna be so many people watching Like you know how Matt is He was fucking talking shit I call him I'm like, yo, look at this. He's like, oh, don't go, don't go. Don't go on stage. That's just fucking gross.

He's like, show me again. I'm like, no, you got to take a picture of it. And I'm like, show me again. And I was like, all right. And then all of a sudden I see, like, see this. And he, I see the flash on his face. I'm like, I know you're not playing Counterstrike. Well, you just took a picture of my shit.

Anyway, it was dope. I just got to talk on it real quick. Then obviously, I want Eastport's personality of the year. We haven't hit on it yet. Thank you to everyone that voted. I believe Esports Awards is completely fan voted So like people are like mad They're like how didn't this guy win

And I'm pretty sure there's like no panel It's strictly fan votes Yeah So I think they told me how many votes I had Can I say? Yeah It was over half a million Half a million votes

So thank you to everyone that did vote That's awesome Well deserved, congratulations Yeah, no definitely well deserved I appreciate it You're the first ever controller of the player Controller of the year right?

Yeah. Console player of the year. And now you have this, so you have two e-sports awards. Yeah, that's my second award. I appreciate it. And it was dope.

I mean, to be nominated and then win in that category was kind of crazy. I didn't think I was going to win. So when I did win, it was like, wow. They sent me an email. Like, do you want to participate in,

you want to be a nominee, essentially like, are you okay with promoting and all that? I'm like, hey, no, no, I'm going to be Kaiser, not fucking Nateshot, fucking scomp. But no, man.

It's like, I've been nominated seven years in a row. I lost. I get the point. I'm not going to do it. Thank you. Everyone was like, everyone was like host cheese though.

And I'm like, man, you can't just let me have this, man? No, no, no, no. Listen,

if I would have won, then yeah, host cheese because I was there and I haven't won in the last six years. But you're you and you did have a 587. No,

but you had votes and you have the fucking watch party and you've done your thing. So it's not. I appreciate it. You know what I'm saying? So yeah, definitely deserved. Plus is Kai like e-sports personality?

Well, he's playing video games now. Kai? Yeah. No, he was up for streamer of the year, not e-sports person. That's what people were. That's where the arguments come in. Esports personality was like me, Terek, Nate shot, I buy.

Oh, okay, okay, okay. I thought you were in there with them. Yeah, there was uproar. No way I'm winning that one. I don't remember her name. Rivers. A female streamer of Rivers. One, streamer of the year over like Kai, speed.

Everyone's just like saying how insanely impossible that is. But I wonder. I'm a American. Well, first off, I don't know anything about her. But it is, you do look at it like anyone winning over Kai or speed, like, or that a bye guy, I don't even know anything about him, but their numbers are so big that it's just like, they just have to win. But it's like, is there?

Yeah. People were trying to say it's rigged. They wanted a female streamer. But it was like, maybe her people would just actually go out and. vote. I'm pretty sure Rivers has won before. Dude, yeah,

she's won before. She's got 6.8 million followers on Instagram. Where's she from? It doesn't say, let me see, nationality. She probably has that type of, because there's like different

type of fan bases. Like, there you go. Mexican. She's got a whole country behind her. Asi mero. Asi meadow. Like, listen. Yeah,

there's like different type of fan bases to where like, like her fan base is like, they're really about her and they want to see her when and they are willing to go to. take the time to actually go vote. Yeah. And then there's like other fan bases to where it's like they fuck with them, but they just like tune in,

they tune out. Like they're not really into the, into this type of stuff. No, but she's literally playing video games though. You know what I'm saying? She's not doing like a, like a,

what would you consider Kai? Because he's playing, yeah, he plays video games now, but IRL shit, right? Yeah. Yeah. So like,

listen, obviously Kai is fucking Kai. And no matter what we say here's, you know, Like is that. But there has to be a thought in the entire fan base that the United States is in the end all be all. And there are massive people out there. It's like Renato made a YouTube and he already has like 40 million subscribers in a few days.

Tom Brady made a YouTube. He got like 70K in the same amount of days. And I look at it like I guess what I was going to say, Tom Brady. is known as Renato. No. Like in these other I look at it. It's hard.

Not even fucking close. It's hard to think I would meet someone who doesn't know who Tom Brady is. Even if they're fucking. That's our fucking American little close mind. Yeah. I know. But that's,

yeah. I know. It's my little American closed mind. It's not, dude. It's not even close. It's insane. When Tom Brady took a picture with Ronaldo in the stadium,

like nobody gave a, like, Who's that guy with Ronaldo? Ronald's got like 452 million followers on Instagram. Tom Brady has 16, maybe. Yeah, it's crazy. Yeah. So, anyway.

Americans, Americans, we really do just like kind of live in our American bubble. Well, I mean, to be fair, no matter what part of the world you go to, they speak English. Yeah. I've been to Saudi Arabia. I spoke English. I went to Tokyo, spoke English. I went to France, spoke English. I meant to Mexico.

I speak Spanish, but they spoke English. you know what it is it is and I don't know I do I do appreciate the the fact that I got to experience a different part of the world that I've never been to that one did feel like a journey that one did feel because even like I try to on my on my on my apple like I can see where Jude is at all times she can see where I'm at I can see what live is my mom I took a picture sent it sent it to is I was like this is the furthest we've ever been yeah for sure yeah yeah I'm into Italy twice this year. Yeah.

France once and now Saudi. All those trips, they didn't feel like anything compared to Saudi. No. Like the actual travel and getting there, I can imagine. It didn't feel. They felt like, it felt like me flying from here to L.A. Like, it's like, the way I can say is like, it's like me flying from here to L.A. That's like me to Italy.

And then Pasadhi, it was like me to Italy. You know what I'm saying? Like, that's how different the travel felt. Dude, to put a bow on it, I had a blast up there. Could it have gone smoother yet? Do I want to get a second chance of seeing how good I would have been if my prompt would have been working? Absolutely.

But if you look at the Oakley segment, when I put my glasses on, dude, I fucking nailed that shit. But when the two musicians were, you know, supposed to were coming out. I was supposed to meet them. I was supposed to come off from the back midline saying, okay okay that was Rob Landis and blah blah blah and if you guys are at home go follow them and everything I'm like man here's my chance I have a solo something I'm gonna be on stage I have the

solo I'm gonna knock him I kill it and then as soon as I come out they're already rushing out and I stepped out into the lights and I and I walked backwards back into my fucking hole because they were already coming back and I'm like no and I was like shit I was supposed to interview a couple of people and they weren't there so I was just like oh my god I was like man At least some of this is not definitely my fault, which I obviously didn't want to. But let's put a bell on it. East Sports Awards was dope. Yeah.

Thank you for having us for sure. It was awesome. We had a good time out there. But all right. You guys are getting to a point in your careers where you guys are doing pretty good for yourself. So naturally, it's time to start teaching you kids how to make some good financial decisions. It's simple. We're going to show you guys two images up here.

You pick the one that's the better financial decision. Got it? Got it. First up, luxury supercar or fuel-friendly sedan? Supercar! No supercar. Six months of groceries or courtside seats. It depends.

Is Luca playing? Luxury turbo 12 jet hot tub? Or create an emergency savings account? 20v1 in a hot tub would go kind of crazy, you know? No. A traditional low-yield savings account or cash app's 4.5% interest savings account. That's right.

You can now get up the 4.5% interest on your cash app's savings account. Only when you deposit $300 or more in paychecks a month. Download cash app from the app store or the Google Play Store now. That's money. Yeah, man. That's cash app. Another news. Cod Next was yesterday. And the game looks

five years. Shotsi actually said that this is the best game that we've had in the CDL era. So... They always say that, Nick? I think I've heard it before. No, no, they don't usually... People don't usually say that.

Like, the best game in the CDL era, that's like the past six years. So that's like... No, I believe it more with this one than anything else. I texted Zinn last night. I mean, I'm just going to say what he said. I was like, how was the game?

He said, very good. Like, quote, I mean, that's what, quote, like, but friend to friend, you know, like, he would tell me, like, the shit's ass. You know what I'm saying? But he said, very good, a ton of fun. So I'm excited, man. We get the beta tomorrow. So we're going to be grinding in the beta.

But the event, Cod Next, it obviously sucked to not be there, but we just watched partied it. But the game looks awesome. I mean, the game looks fun. The movement looks smooth. The time to kill looks a little. little weird with the subs, but the game looks pretty dope. Yeah, I gotta actually play it.

I don't know if I'm the biggest fan of the movement yet, so I want to see how it actually feels when I'm playing it. And it's nice because this year, usually it was like a PS5 exclusive and the first weekend of the beta was on PS5. This year it's immediately on PC. Oh, yeah. So we get two weeks. We get two weekends essentially of the game that we're going to be playing all year.

So it'll be dope to get like our hands on it. And there's eight maps. being dropped on the beta. So like, you know how betas are usually three maps? You're like, fuck. Like, I'm gonna sit here for eight hours and play the same three maps over and over. There's eight maps in the beta.

So I'm pretty stoked. Damn. Yeah. I was as excited. I am, I am hype about it. I unfortunately am gone both weekends this weekend and the following weekend. Yesterday, um,

Natechat, Natechat got into town yesterday. I, uh, Jude, Jude's like, hey, on Monday?

or Tuesday? When did they get here? Yesterday Wednesday? Yesterday? So on Tuesday, he was like, hey, don't forget to text Matt and and ask them like what the plan are and all that. And I was like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, I hit him up and oh, what time do you guys get in? He's like that. And I'm like, all right, I'm going to go get you guys. So.

Oh, you went and got him? Yeah, yeah, yeah. See, Matt's, Matt's hilarious. He's like, I already hung out with Hector twice today. You're fake. I'm like, dude, what are you talking about, bro? He was pressing me so hard. He's like, it was like 8 p.m. last night. I'm like, we're in relax mode.

I'm playing World Warcraft. The new expansion just came out. So I'm in the living room on my laptop. Is is watching sex in the city. You know, we're both like, we're both just vibing. Yeah, yeah. And Matt's like, you're a fake fuck. I can't believe you didn't hit me up to hang out on my first day here.

And I'm like, bro, I just streamed Kod next all day. I had a sponsored stream. Let me chill. Yeah. So I think we're going to hang out with him today. I don't know what we're going to do. But dude, today. All right.

So check this out. their nanny and McGowan. So me and Jude show up. Jude obviously very thoughtful. Brings a fucking Pokemon, uh, thermal fucking launchbox with waters. And,

you know, she's being very thoughtful. And I'm, I'm sitting there like, holy fuck, I am not a good friend. Like I wasn't thinking about any of this. Anyway,

we go, we get them. We bring them to their house. We're hanging out. Jude, Jude helped them a lot. Like she handled the movers. She handled the,

the house cleaning, the, the electricians, the lawn like she did all that for them by the time that they got to everything was all good and then Nate's like yo let's go we got to go get these TVs and shit and I was like oh my fuck I'm like all right back to the crib grab the other truck and shit but it was like super you know fast so all right let's go get the fucking truck we go get the truck and then we go we get there and then the guys are like first of all one of the dudes recognized us uh he's like he's like

I saw you hex and I'm like I definitely know this foo and then I saw man and I'm like I definitely know this fool and I couldn't believe that out. All right. We go, we load the fucking TV 83 inches. Fucking massive dope-ass TV. He bought two of those and the guys

who's like how are you guys going to take this? I'm like here. He's like, oh, you can't lay these down. And I'm like, oh my God. It won't fit any other way. So I have to drive back super slow on the highway so that there's no bumps and you know, and shit. I drop them off.

I'm like, yo, I got some errands to run. Let me, you know. Lying like a mo. Yeah. Let me go do this. shit. I have to go get right. You don't say what I have to go get right? I like a bow. Anyway, after all that

instead of done, I'm like, I'm like, Haley, Matt, we can't do dinner together. You guys want to eat at 7. Jude and I haven't eaten. We're about to eat right now. Like, whatever. At 829, I get a text. And it's for me and Seth. And it says, hey, Hector, just a heads up. Seth didn't even come by today at all. Figured. And then he says, meanwhile, he's texting me on the side like 30 minutes before.

like he was just he was so bored so he says figure that you would have an opinion on that all good if not you would probably side with him anyways and then Seth replies ha ha I had a sponsor stream and a cot next and I said

I just replied with he had a sponsor stream Matt and he followed it up with cod next wrong order but but I appreciate what I meant by that is because he said you're probably going to take his side with him anyway so I did I'm like I'm like Matt he had a sponsor stream oh It's like when Sidney says,

you show Seth favoritism. Like, yeah, because it's funny. Matt's hilarious, dude. He's like, he's itching. I mean, it's his first day here. He sent me a picture like, he sent a picture to me and it. It was like the Texas sunset.

And I was like, get used to it, man. Best sunsets in the United States. Probably not. But Texas sunsets do hit a little different. The sky's always like a nice reddish, like, purplish. Our clouds are fucking. Toilway just looking up as shit.

Yeah, it's always a vibe. It's nice. I crack a smile for once. Dude, something's like me driving and all of a sudden I'm, I take off and I'm flying a little. Yeah. That's probably so hyped to hang out. Does he have a pool?

Yeah. Which means you have a pool. I got some help with hosting now because this guy won't, won't help. Now my house isn't going to get. People have been very respectful recent. I can't say. That's why I don't invite nobody. You know what I'm saying?

I know they're going to be spilling shit. The dog's going to eat something. they're not supposed to. And the dogs are going to shit fucking everywhere. That's why you're really, that's why you really don't do it. You don't trust nobody around them. No,

it's not even that. My biggest fear is that somebody spills something. One of the dogs drinks something or eats something, then the dog shits somewhere they're not supposed to. And now there's like this whole thing. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. But that is the way that I do think.

We met a bunch of people out there in Saudi Arabia. One of the people being one of the guys from Falcons, we talked a little bit about the reception that they received. on the announcement. Yeah, that was whack. You know what I told them? People are hating. Why was that whack?

Because it's like, oh, duh, they're going to support their team. They're not going to go shopping around for. I mean, it's their spot. At the end of the day, they can do whatever they want. Exactly. They're the ones paying for it. I told them, I'm like, don't fucking listen to anyone's opinion in this community. Do yourself a favor.

Do what I've done. Don't go on Reddit for five years. It's filled with people with opinions who have never done shit to begin with. There's some people out there that are cool on Reddit, but I told them, do not listen to fucking anyone, least of all the fucking players. You fucking put out there with it. And I'm not just telling you this because I don't want to have competition. It's not about that. Right.

I'm sure that these guys are going to evolve because they're good players. That ex-knit kid was fucking going off, period. So if he gets to play against regular people, like he's going to have some form of elevation that makes them better. Or not. Either way, do what the fuck you were going to do. Don't listen to anybody least of all the fucking. players or the people that consider themselves experts in the fucking community. Okay.

Yeah. Where are they going to be practicing from? Here, they're going to be moving. I don't know if they're moving to Vegas. I mean, it's only up for them. Yeah. If they come out, they come out first series of the CDL, they take it to a game five, like that entire fucking country type.

Bro, it was so, it was so like the shit that I was watching, though, like the opinions that I saw is like, man, they can come in and they can buy out shots. they can buy out hacks, they can buy everyone, they can buy everyone, 10 times over. But that's not what they are about. They're about elevating their culture and what they're doing it. That makes perfect sense to me. It didn't, it didn't not make sense to me.

I'm like, exactly. I mean, look at the heretics. Heretics came in, they kept their squad. They didn't really, they didn't really strayed. It's a Spanish or, yeah. They didn't really stray from that path. Yeah. I mean, I can see the argument of like, people want the CDL should be the best players in the world.

Yeah. And just because, you can afford it doesn't mean you should just because you can afford it doesn't mean you you can just like I don't know yeah exactly I have a point but I don't know how to like no I know what you're saying my point it's like you shouldn't just be able to buy a spot and bring whoever you want if that it should be a league of the best players in the world if that is the case then people in the nosebleeds at any football or basketball team should be court side because they are the biggest fans there and just because they can't afford like

I go to NBA and sit court side and I don't follow the NBA the way that I used in the 90s. So a bigger basketball fan to serve that seat, it's not about that even at that point. So either way, like- I'm not saying that's how I look at it, but I can understand why people would want that. Obviously, it has nothing to do with me or would affect me. To be honest, I think this gives like who, imagine they did say buyout players and the team kind of suck and they were just kind of in the back of the pack like no one would give a fuck yeah but

them sticking to their culture their people their players bring them over here it like gives it adds another storyline to the CDL which and a region I mean it adds a completely new region of fan fandom too I mean a new like by the end of the season they could I don't we'll see

but listen I'll tell you what they'll probably be like top I mean they'll be at the middle of the pack okay yeah If it's middle of the back, middle of the pack is way better because like, think of, think about, I just, I just, I understand. And we were going back to this like, this, this bubble that Americans live in, right, where they're like, well, they should, I mean, they could just go get formal. And, but, yeah, of course they can.

But that's not what they're building, literally. Like, think about the amount of money that they're spending on buying esports and fucking having them there for, like, a month. I hope they're decent because it'll, it'll make things, it'll make things interesting. Like, if, if they bring, like, obviously. their players over and they're decent. That'll be like, it's just another storyline for like the CDL. Like, yo, these guys stayed true. Literally every match would be, is interesting with them if they can make it close.

Everyone was throwing a fit and shit. I'm like, bro, I don't see it. I get, I do get it though, because you think about it. There's only 12 spots in the league right now. If Falcons come in, they take a spot. Somebody else, like if Miami keeps their team, they're not switching. They're not getting any players. That's now 48 players.

that were in the league for like N.A. Because the North American like amateur scene thinks that they deserve those spots. I mean straight up. They think they deserve those CDL spots. And now it's like now there's only 40 spots and the top four like they're not picking up challenges players because they're the top four.

So now you think about that. Now there's six teams that aren't fielding like the middle of the pack talent right now and challengers or the CDL. It is kind of crazy because like those opportunities, there's just less opportunities which makes it. even harder to get into an already harder league to get into. Again, again, it's this.

I do get like why they're frustrated. I get why they're frustrated. You should not, though. They feel like they're entitled to that spot. Okay. Listen, I feel like the players are going through what endemic organizations went through when the CDO launched. You know what I'm saying?

Like I had to partner with someone to participate in this thing, whether I needed a partner or not. Huh? I don't feel bad for none of the players. Me either. They're the ones bitching about it. The players are like, it's like, it's this, the, now how am I getting in? Yeah, well, maybe you won't.

Yeah, it's, but I want a participation trophy is what I'm fucking hearing. I'm sure if someone in the Challenger scene was like taking over, standing over, like a scrappy, like scrappy. They would either be on a team that's here or maybe they would have worked their way on, maybe they would have played somebody on this roster. Like who I'm just saying in general, like, no, it's an opportunity. Like what if Falcons comes in, they don't do well. and now, okay, the Falcons are looking at this, like, okay, now we might want to, might want to go and look at some new players. No, that's not how, I don't think that that's not going to get down. They just have, I mean, I'm just saying hypothetically, what if they're the worst team in the league and they aren't getting like any wins? Look at Heretics. Look at heretics. Heretics get wins. Heretics aren't horrible. Heretics beat us at major four. Yeah, but think about how they started and they stuck with it because, you know, they wanted to have an all Spanish team.

When Paris was a thing, when London Royal Ravens was a thing, like the fact that that Paco, a Frenchman was somewhere other than the Paris team was like a clear indication as to how nobody took this thing, you know, for what it was supposed to be. You know what I'm saying? I agree. Like the first thing that I would have done is contacted the biggest creator in France and been like, hey, would you like to co-own this team with me?

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. and go down that route. Listen, I feel for the players who are losing their spots, but in the end, guys, this is competition. Just because you've been here from the beginning of time, as orgs like mine, as orgs like Astros, as orgs like, think about every single endemic org that has been working in Call of Duty since 2009

until the CDL launched, and how many of them got kicked out because they systematically removed them so that they can bring in all of the professional team owners. and where are they now? You know what's happening to the players now happened to us as org owners already and nobody gave a fuck because the players

were like oh well fuck the or he's, we'll play for a little fucking ever. Times you just get dropped and your career is over. So you start playing H1Z1, taking that or all. It's cutthroat, man. I mean, that's just how it is. At the end of the day, it's a show, but first and foremost, it's a business for these teams. So you've got to stand out and you've got to earn your spot

and you got to stand out, to these organizations because they're the ones who make the decisions. That's the other thing, right? Even like I heard Zinny say this and sometimes when Zinney says something who I loved dearly and I know that I give him a tough time but I give him a tough time because you know, this is my boy.

Well, fuck wouldn't I get a hard time. But he said like, he's like, well, I don't see it. Like I don't see how they're going to make money. They, they don't need. This is not a business for them. This is a project for them to elevate the options for their people. There, right? They're growing e-sports in Saudi Arabia. You know what I'm saying? So for them,

making money is not a fucking top-of-the-line thing for them, right? Because that's not how, that's not why they're building this. Do they have government funding set? Do you know? Like, I don't even know if they do or don't. Does it matter? What I'm saying is that this isn't a business play for them to, to make money. This is probably the start of a 15, 20-year road map. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly. So, you know, it may not make sense. sense to you guys because you guys see this thing as like a like well you have to make money or something like no if you if you got a lot of money you don't need to do that got a lot of money yeah that'll be all right yeah they're gonna be fine i'm excited i'm excited i mean cdL i feel like every year

over year it's gotten more and more interesting at least from my perspective just like being in the cdl and now being a very very close spectator of it it's like it's crazy how much it's just developed and evolved since that year number one. You know, it's crazy. I think this CDL year again, I always say it, but it's kind of like the NFL. It's like these new rosters get formed and new storyline comes in. I mean, it's just, hey, as a spectator, I'm all right with it. I think it's, I just, I love watching it.

Yeah. I think it's going to be one of the craziest years. Again, I feel like the bar keeps getting pushed higher and higher with the God squads that are forming and the entertainment value. and now we've got some storyline starting to form for the new generation. So CDL is going to be lit next year. Can't wait. I mean, we're still a long way out.

Yeah. And look, again, should the CDL be the one with the most competitive? Yes, absolutely. Let's work towards that. But, you know, let's not get all bogged down and feel helpless for this because we had an American organization, right? They came in last and they didn't make it to finals, right? Like, that was an American organization with American motherfucking players and they didn't

make it. So for them to say it's like just because of somebody's, out of the country that they can't do because they were hanging in there they were hanging in there so we'll see their game plays up

and going to elevate yep what was what was the um yeah the World Cup did any of the Challenger teams make like cause an upset or anything

there were a couple upsets I think there were two challengers teams uh two challengers teams knocked out pro teams and pool play but then none of the Challenger's teams ended up making it to the bracket. What was Alex thing?

But none of them made it to the bracket because the bracket was only eight teams. So, I mean, there's 12 CDL teams. So two of them, I think Vegas got knocked out in groups and G2, which was Minnesota got knocked out in groups. So there were challengers teams that beat some CDL teams. Oh, shit. Yeah.

Yeah, there were a few. There were a few upsets. I was wondering if that was going to happen. Because there is always this argument of like, you know, this person and Challenger should be involved. Friendship, Friendship League, Friendship League. Yeah, so I was interested if. But then no challengers team made the bracket.

So, like, there were upsets, but none of them made the eight team, like, single elimination. Yeah. It was all CDO. Single a limb, though. Yeah, single a limb is fucking crazy. That shit's whack. I love pool play, though. That shit's lit.

I don't know why. Yeah. Pool play is fun until, like, the last couple matches where you're like, all right, I know who's going. Like in Halo especially, where you're like, okay, phase is about the player. We're about to play like a. top 16 amateur team like a watch party on a Friday with HALA it's like all right that Saturday it's like all right the tournament begins yeah yeah so yeah pool play I think the format is just better for the players pool play wise I mean there's more matches you get more

you get an opportunity to kind of settle into the tournament you're not just getting thrown into the tournament right away so especially with that time change every tournament yeah back in the day was pool play right pretty much pretty much everyone yeah also something else Speaking of e-sports World Cup, Velo received two strikes for teabagging at e-sports? Yeah. Were they super, like, strict about... Because I think I saw, like, scrap just, like, stand up and be like...

Yeah, no, they were definitely, like, Insight got a warning. Did they, like, sit over and was like... He was, like, relax. Did they, like, sit everyone down and, like, tell... Go over, this is what you can do, this is what you can't do. I'm sure. I'm sure they had to, like, outline it. But, I mean, teabagg. teabagging definitely falls on the other side of being respectful or disrespectful.

I mean, teabagging someone, there's no way it can be respected. There's no respectful team. So I could see why he got two strikes for that because they were pretty adamant on. What would happen with three strikes? I don't know. Probably DQ. Because that's happened to me before. I had to sit my controller down for a minute.

Yeah, probably disqualification. Fucking made up weird shit. I picked my controller back up. Started dominating. One of the best games I've ever played. They were up 4-0, I think, an on-slot flag. I picked, like, my team's just fucking trolling. I have to, it was an on-stop flag game.

I sit my controller down, or I get all of my technicals at the end of the last game. I'm like standing up, screaming, talking shit. And then they were like, the refs just sitting there like, one, two, three, okay, three technicals. He was counting down in front of you? No, I guess, because I got three technicals just within like 20 seconds of the game in it,

because I was going crazy. So starting up the next. game I had to sit my controller down for a minute to start they're like yeah they just got to play 3 v 4th off the rip they're just getting pummeled just instantly your team instantly all of die off rip we're just in an on on top flag you get spawn trap so hard so they end up capping like four flags I pick my controller back up start dominating we win and end up winning the series I think like three two went the game five but I don't know that's funny but I saw all that and I was like oh shit or

I forgot they were probably super strict over there for all that stuff. Why is Optic Night not up there? Optic Night's coming up really shortly. We do it everywhere with the Rangers. Yeah, it was Monday. Yeah, so why? It's not up there on the board. We got Optic Night coming up. Rangers versus the Yankees. Hector's throwing

out the first pitch. Yeah. You know what I did it? For the record I said, have you announced that yet or did I just? No, I don't know. It's all good. Yeah, yeah. So for the record. So what's going on at Rangers night this this year? Do we have New Jersey? What's going on? We have a new jersey.

We have a new collaboration with the Rangers. It's the third iteration of the jerseys. It's a, this time it's an all-black one with opt-eague green, et cetera. And then simultaneously or in tandem, we have our own, like, baseball jersey that we do on a yearly basis. And we have this year's just fucking sick. The hat's fucking mega dope. It's got the squad. It's fire.

But I told, I told Dashie and Shotsie. I'm like, yo, which one of you wants to throw the first person? And I said, no. I'm like, all right. Neither are you do it. I'm going to do it. Man. Boom.

Lame. get out there and throw the first pitch, man. That's what I said. Get out there. But I understand the, I understand the apprehension. Why? You know, what if you throw? What if you throw it?

And I tell him, yo, do what Seth did? There's been some bad ones. Get in front of the bag, 15 feet, and you'll be fine. Yeah, you don't have to. That's what Seth had to do? No, I'm kidding. No, he's just mad because I threw a better first pitch in him. No, no, no.

No, no. No, you heard the glove pop. His was like, you know, a little limp fucking. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I was fucking. I was fucking way behind you though. I even drew the line. It doesn't matter.

Long story short, this Monday, I'm throwing the first pitch. Game is against the Yankees. It's going to be fire. It's going to be fire. I cannot wait to be there. We're doing a meet and greet.

Me, Kenny, Shotsie and karma, I think. But I'll be there. Either way, super excited about it. We'll see you guys there on Monday. That's going to do it for this.

We drinking? Yeah, dude, we're drinking. I don't know because it's beta weekend, so I might, like, I might have, I might have a few. You're a beta weekend. Well, it'll be on Monday. When is the beta end? 30th through the fourth is the first slot and then fifth through the eight or six through the eighth is the second. I'm missing the whole thing.

Jude's birthday is next week. So we're in New York for the birthday. It's like a week long door. I'm in Chicago this weekend, then New York the following weekend. I got no time for myself. Yeah. It's all working this job. Italian restaurant.

I'm going to Cote. I was able to get into Cote. It's just like... Michelin Star. It might as well fucking be. Having food there, it's like... Anyway, I'm going to go off on New York next time.

So either way, ladies and gentlemen, that's going to do for this episode, episode 189 of the Optic Podcast, brought to you by Cash App. We will see you guys next week. Peace and.
