Starting point is 00:00:00 Like in my head, like, I'm pissed I died. And I just, in my head, I'm like, they're so happy right now. You only know they're happy when, like, they down you and they'll just stand there and look at your body for a couple seconds. I'll do that to people. I'll put the knife to him as your team. Mark the squad. Can't cancel it? And then you come back on the game?
Starting point is 00:00:15 That's it. Then you assassinated? I said. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the first episode. No, no, no. To the 156 episode, first podcast of the new year. We're going to start off by saying that we have no New Year's resolutions. Who?

Starting point is 00:01:51 they make a good product. I agreed, agreed. I just, I just want to, I just want to start out by saying that, obviously we had
Starting point is 00:01:57 the last 10 days of the year off, right? Nobody had kindly, man, finally. It felt, didn't it?
Starting point is 00:02:03 It felt, we were talking about it Yesterday on stream. Yeah, it was like we just get to wake up, start the stream. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, felt like a snow day. All right, so we'll start with you, Nicholas. What was your 10 days like, your break, your winter break?
Starting point is 00:02:16 Because you guys still work. But I'm talking about like content and coming into the office. It was nice coming in here and no one being here and just screaming as loud as I want. Like it takes something out of me when people are here. Yeah. Because I'm like, I'm like, self-reasing. about about not that I really care like I know they hear me regardless yeah but I'm just like self-conscious when I know people were there like even sometimes formal be in there and I'm like I can't
Starting point is 00:02:46 scream how I really want to right now also like if I die I mean it helps but it's like I feel like it takes something away from my stream to where I just like get to let loose so while over the break people weren't here uh streamed pretty much every day I think I took off Christmas and And the day after and then yeah, just streaming staying consistent getting back into eating healthier
Starting point is 00:03:12 I'm sick of fucking talking about it As you sit there with a fucking Pepsi It's a cold brew This is like five calories Yeah Eating healthier Same shit Honestly I'm done talking about it
Starting point is 00:03:23 I'm not gonna tweet about it At all this year I'm not gonna talk about it every podcast but that's that's where I'm getting back into the best me What's your girl get you? What's your girl get you?
Starting point is 00:03:34 Uh, she got me running shoes, some sandals, socks. Well, you can't say running shoes. What? Alpha fly twos. Nice. They're pretty expensive. They got the, no, these got the, I know you're a Hoka bear. Yeah, the carbon fiber plate at the bottom.
Starting point is 00:03:50 The Hocas don't come with that. You're talking about it. Dude, the hokas were like 140 bucks. That's a Nike shoe. Is yours a Nike shoe? Yours are twice as. Yeah, the fly's a Nike shoe, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:01 Okay, okay. Carbon plate on the bottom, got that. My mom gave me some money for the house because expenses will be rolling in. That's it. Simple man. Well, the house, what are you? You're renting, right?
Starting point is 00:04:16 No, we're buying. You're buying. You're buying. Oh, fuck. Yeah, that's what he's talking about. Mortgage in all. Hell yeah. I mean, I don't, I'm not dealing with any. You know what happens.
Starting point is 00:04:23 Are you putting a certain percentage down? I don't know anything. He just shows that, listen, like me, he just shows up with the money, he just shows up with the money. I just, this is my half of the effort. Well, having a mortgage is good
Starting point is 00:04:34 because it increases, your credit score, like, and it's just revolving. Yeah, I just, I don't know, I don't know any of the details. She's all into that stuff. She's like a real estate type of person. So she's like, interested by it all. People, so I'm like, you take care of all that. Tell me how much I got to send you.
Starting point is 00:04:50 And that's it. I've been seeing people say that renting is cheaper or not, well, obviously it's cheaper probably. In theory. But it's like renting is better than owning a house. In theory. How, though. You don't have to. Because if shit breaks, you don't have to pay for it.
Starting point is 00:05:04 Property taxes. But it's like, property. Leasing versus financing a car. I just never. Well, I mean, you should always lease a car unless it's like a... I don't. Really? I feel like you should always finance the car.
Starting point is 00:05:16 Yeah, you have to finance. Yeah, well, I finance. Well, I mean, like, buy the car. Own the car. You've been taught by the Rockefeller's boys to pay cash for everything, to not owe anybody anything. But why wouldn't you... Why would you spend anybody else's money? Like, I financed but turning the car in before I'm in the red.
Starting point is 00:05:33 Like, I'll never be in the red. I just don't get. Yeah. Yeah, I just got an offer for my Raptor. Dude. I'm not doing it. Just sell it. They offer you double?
Starting point is 00:05:44 You got hell of cars. No, I don't. But listen. Don't you have like four or five cars? I only have one, the Raptor. Jude has the wagon, the EQS, and the fucking Bronco. So you got four. She's got four.
Starting point is 00:05:58 I have a boat and like I only have, I don't have any dogs. I just, I just, he's got dog. You don't claim that? I'm kidding. I love my poochies, all of them. How was yours? Scumper jumper. The break?
Starting point is 00:06:10 Yeah, man. I mean, yeah, it was great. I went home. Had a lot of fun at home. Got to see my brother for two days. Usually I only get to see him one day at Christmas. I got to see him for two days. So I was lit.

Starting point is 00:08:19 Are you ready? Yeah, it's here I was literally living Fucking life The way that I would love to live life I would wake up I would make two eggs Bacon and sausage
Starting point is 00:08:29 Beans And I'll make a breakfast salsa for it Or I would just eat jalapenos From there You weren't making the salsa where I buy think about
Starting point is 00:08:37 think about it doesn't even make sense my own salsa you weren't making the salsa in the mulcahed thing in a mulca hette that's exactly where I was making it that's actually what you did that
Starting point is 00:08:47 no it was a it was a blender but after that I would go straight to my office I would sit down and I would play war zone with my boys from home who also wore on break
Starting point is 00:08:56 apparently you're better than none obviously and then I would wait until Hodg and Diesel will get on so that we could play CMG
Starting point is 00:09:04 matches. Okay? Those were funny. Those were fucking fun. We literally we have like our record right now. Matt, can you look at our CMG record up? It's like it's maybe like two and 17. No, it's not.
Starting point is 00:09:16 Wait, I think I saw one of the games. You all one. Y'all, it's so bad. I mean, y'all had a ninja defuse three times. Listen, we've been out of the circuit from competition from GVs for like two years. And then we make a return. Of course, there's going to be things that we don't remember. But listen, I'll tell you one thing.
Starting point is 00:09:31 This, these hands, these thumbs, this shot. Just know that I know that if I was your age and had the same opportunities that y'all had to play professionally, I would have been a professional. So I, these moms do it. You can't say that after saying you're two and 17 on CMG. I don't play with better teammates. I'm also 40. About to be 44 in a month. Right.
Starting point is 00:09:52 You guys are right behind me. Not 45? No. I thought you're 45. No. 1980. 80s baby. Literal.
Starting point is 00:09:59 Yeah. Okay. So I forgot. So just know. If I had eight hours a day to spend. Like, seriously, if you lose a gunfight to me, just know that I know that I'm better than you, and I would have been 10 times better than you if I was your age and played as much as you did. So after that, I would get off, have dinner in between with the family.
Starting point is 00:10:17 And literally, I took no calls except for maybe four calls in those 10 days that had to do with business. Oh, yeah, I forgot you told me you can't, like, you're not picking out of your phone. You can't wait. Nah. Like, you just chill home. They literally chilled at the crib. I drew five sketches, like five sketches of what I'm going to paint. on walls.
Starting point is 00:10:36 In 24 hours, I painted 7. Last year, I only painted 3. Just to give an idea how freely my mind and my creative was flowing just by having a good time playing called through no work. What was yours like? But with that said,
Starting point is 00:10:50 at 9 o'clock on the 31st, I did a 24-hour food water fast until the phone. Flip the switch? Yeah. You were back on your bullshit? Yeah, you're eating like a goddamn pig. Listen, yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:00 Dude, but I'm talking about like dinners were fucking mac. immaculate. I was eating like... There we go. Look at this shit. Zero dollars in earnings. 10 and 34.
Starting point is 00:11:11 Yeah. 23% win rate. Yeah. Yeah, but we're not going to do what lanes do, which restart it. Yeah, they do restart their shit. Yeah, they restart their shit a lot. Like, what do you do? It's like Bose's gulag record.
Starting point is 00:11:24 What the fuck? Boz's Goulde record. Damn. Is that right? No, we actually run shit. We get on and we run shit. Not gonna roast. Until like 5 p.m.
Starting point is 00:11:38 You got it. You got to take the high road? Take the higher road. Oh, man. But I'm telling you, like, I literally was living life. What about you? What did you do on your break? Not shit.
Starting point is 00:11:50 I was in the crib, streaming. Drinking so much every day. I swear it's like four drinks. You're like, man, I had drinks last night. Three to four drinks. Mine was like, mine was like Christmas Eve Christmas. were bad and the New Year's Eve was bad. But I'm a lightweight, so it doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:12:07 Like, four drinks, like, I feel nice, but if I tell myself, like, act drunk, motherfucker. I can fuck. I go, you know what I'm saying? It's weird to me. Like, it's like four or five drinks, and I'm, I'm there. Blacked out? Not blacked out, but, like, you can push me on my phone over. It depends on what I, you can get loose.
Starting point is 00:12:26 It depends on what I drink. If you give me, like, let's say, two old fashions, that's the equivalent to me as, like 13 rum and cocks. You know what I'm saying? Like, I'm not any, you know what I'm saying? I kind of felt like that in Colorado. Like we would have old fashions there and it would hit. Maybe it's like that altitude or whatever.
Starting point is 00:12:44 Dude, old fashions. Old fashions to me are not like a party drink. If they're made, I'm not getting old fashioned or party. No, it's not a party thing. That's like a dinner drink. Yeah. Whatever drink Nate had his had at his wedding. Oh my, bro.
Starting point is 00:12:57 That shit was a party drink. Brother. That shit tasted. And I partied? Like I tweeted. eat like that's how I imagine alcohol to taste like that she was yeah I just don't care about taste good shit in a shot great selection oh yeah congratulations on the baby oh yeah man congratulations that's crazy congrats that's he's a father I saw on Instagram he said like he never
Starting point is 00:13:20 thought really thought about having a kid didn't really think he would have one then now that he has had one it's like he couldn't imagine not having it you're right behind He would say he would like send us a pick of the baby and be like guys I'm just sending it to you I don't give a fuck if you care if I have a baby or not. Yeah, I'm like yeah he's crazy he's crazy he's been rude really man and it's hilarious probably a crazy feeling he's like I know you guys don't you guys don't get like sappy and shit. Yeah, I hit him up and like yo how you hanging in there you know asking about parenthood and then he started talking to me about business like yo man fuck about business right now this moves off time everybody's off off.
Starting point is 00:13:59 Yeah, Bill Kenny was making this rounds. I would be in the game I'll fucking send him I'd be like yo Bill what's up man You know quiet time for me Bill Kenny's always on Guys's a beast He is
Starting point is 00:14:12 All right so just Some drinking playing games Yeah nothing major Same shit Trying to at least keep the momentum Going into whatever fucking momentum I have Go to India Hey it starts
Starting point is 00:14:23 Dude look at our momentum We were fucking 10 and 23 I bet you we're gonna be We're gonna be in a 50% Once a once we're Look at our momentum We're 10 and 23. Yeah, what's wrong with that?
Starting point is 00:14:34 Pretty sure it's like 10 and 34. Was it 10 and 34? Was it? Was it? Let me see. Let me see. God, damn. You've been getting slammed, baby.
Starting point is 00:14:44 Fucking, I account for nine first bloods per match. I think I saw two of those wins, too. I get first blood. Yo, all right, can we clear the air? Hutch thinks that a first blood is, if you die first, at any point in the round. So even if you plant bomb, call it, there's a, minute left and you die first, that's first blooded. I mean, technically, yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:07 But isn't first blood like in the first minute of the game? No, first blood is the first person to die. Period? Period. It doesn't matter. If I'm playing bomb and I die. If you're the bomb guy. Huts just got your ass.
Starting point is 00:15:18 I can't believe you guys are agree with him. No, but nobody... It depends the way you look at it. I mean, I could see why you would think that... Doesn't necessarily have to mean a bad thing. Let me see. If I plant the bomb... They're not watching you.
Starting point is 00:15:28 If I plant the bomb and I die as I run away from doing the utility... Because they're not watching your back. Because they're not watching my... Even if I told them... Still got blooded. How it is. Not necessarily a negative. Whatever.
Starting point is 00:15:42 Just know that everybody knows that I... This is my MVP season. I carry this motherfucking team. I'm back. Except when I'm not having a good game, which is in the beginning. I warm up, though. Face Clan joins Challengers?
Starting point is 00:15:55 Why is that a topic? There's no Challenger's League. What are we talking about? Is there a Challenger's League? Yeah. Has the league the league announced it? I don't know if they've announced it. Okay, so the CDL hasn't announced anything.
Starting point is 00:16:06 I mean, yeah, there's got to be challenged. What's our? Who's our transfer? Exceed, Brack, Kemp, and team. That's good team, man. That's probably, that's probably one of the, that has to be one of the better challenges. 100%. Aseem is the fucking man.
Starting point is 00:16:20 A seam actually, I saw a tweet yesterday. They did like a peer vote. And Aseem's number one. Like, out of the challengers, they did like a challenger's, like, player vote. Oh, really? A seam's number one right now. 100%. I mean, the amount of talent that we lost, right, because of the CDL is, like, insane. But I don't think that the CDL has an official challenger's, like, schedule or tournament.
Starting point is 00:16:41 I mean, do it? Is it third party? I remember saying something, like, I remember. I don't know the exact facts, but. I've seen no promotion from the CDL accounts. I've seen no, like, hey, you know, like anything. If I'm the CDL and I see the Face Clan or Atlanta, is it Face Clan or Atlanta Phase? Face Clan Black. Face Clan Black. Face Clan Black. Face Clan Black, but... Click on that FC Black official.
Starting point is 00:17:06 The fuck. Back in black, back in business, face up, Los Angeles. Dude, I'm getting one of those nose burns again, man. In the back of your thing. Oh, that's Zuma. Zuma signed them, I think. Yeah, it's Tom's team.
Starting point is 00:17:19 Damn. I thought I all knew that. Yeah, it's Tom's team. That makes sense. That's fire. That's cool. Yeah, what happened to y'all's... Y'all gave up on the challenge of your dream, didn't you?
Starting point is 00:17:30 I mean, you didn't even start. Yeah, we just couldn't do it. That's not going to do it. They're having more fun playing fucking war zone. Yeah. I don't do it. Use any made me? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:43 Why not? We go 12 and 34. Yeah. But have great content, great monetization. Yes. No, that's what you think until you start losing. And then it's not even fun. Shit stains you think or no or used to be better than they're beating.
Starting point is 00:18:00 you they think there's something like then everyone's personalities changes changes and it's no longer fun it's no longer funny that's how it would have went yeah I don't know I'm getting roasted yeah
Starting point is 00:18:14 people are clipping you they ninja defuse the bomb they get they're getting likes on Twitter now I'm king ninja diffuse FYI know that you are I saw you go for that twice and actually get away with it
Starting point is 00:18:29 yeah Dix's a close This is a shit show right now in here. No, like once this starts going on, I start losing my focus. I'm not going to be hearing y'all. Hey, but it's like, can anyone focus on the fuck up over there? You can take pictures quietly. Damon's raging.
Starting point is 00:18:45 Damon's raging. He's got a beanie on. He's got a beanie on. Who knows the last time he got a haircut? He's raging. He's on your ass right now, DB3. King of Tarkov. King of Tarkov.
Starting point is 00:18:57 Yeah, he is. Tarky wiped. He retired from wars. zone played with us once rage quit probably had fun probably he rage quit I don't know he had fun but he's just like I don't want to
Starting point is 00:19:08 have that much fun I want to play tarkey off I can get chill like competitive gaming up I do I do wish that I like like I liked I was telling hutch and then I wish I liked yeah like they were playing some fucking avatar game they were flying through the
Starting point is 00:19:24 collecting fucking roots and all this shit and I was just like you played the finals the finals we played the beta but not the... What's the finals? Oh, yeah, I remember you guys
Starting point is 00:19:32 tell me to get on it. Yeah, yeah, we played the beta. And it was fun as fuck. I'm not gonna lie. What are the finals? It's just a game that just came out.
Starting point is 00:19:38 It's like a FPS. It's not like an arena shooter. I don't even know what to categorize it, but it's like an FPS. Your characters have abilities. You got to basically take, there's objectives on the map. You got to deposit money,
Starting point is 00:19:53 defend it. But yeah, it's like a cracked movement game. And we played the beta, but yeah, the full game released. randomly. They just randomly dropped it one day.
Starting point is 00:20:04 I mean, right there, like I can tell you that I would not like this game. This guy got a headshot and had to go back for a second shot. Splitgate was fun. I don't remember split gate. This game looks good though. He's got camo. He had all like the portals and stuff. Yeah, yeah, you get abilities. It was a lot of fun. We played the beta during the off season. There wasn't really much to play
Starting point is 00:20:20 and we had a good time with it for a couple days. But now Cod's out. Listen, if you want to have a successful FPS, like just mimic or follow, I'm what Call of Duty did with the movement. Like this, so that's the way
Starting point is 00:20:34 should be my opinion. When I just make a call of duty. Yeah. Yeah. But just. Aelo tried. Look at, look at Battalion in 1944.
Starting point is 00:20:41 Now I'm kidding. That's, I had to say it. But that's, that's what it is. I don't know how I feel about this next topic. Um, because I think Twitch has a lot of power in this thing that can,
Starting point is 00:20:56 they can help mitigate the risk in this scenario. which is a Twitch streamer has been left stranded and homeless in Japan after a Donator's Bank took back the gifted funds needed for his trip Well first off that's fucked Yeah How much we talk in there I mean that's just fucked Like donate it
Starting point is 00:21:16 Alright let me read this Swedish Twitch streamer has found himself in hot water blah blah However shortly arriving yes Now homeless in a foreign country The man revealed a Twitch via Twitch that he was bankrupt with no one Wait, okay, go down, man. How much was it? I mean, it had to be pretty substantial, right?
Starting point is 00:21:34 So I came out to Asia, and I wanted to use a donation money to come here, and now it's all gone. So now I'm stuck. Chris explains my option is, I don't know what my option is. I have to figure it out what I'm going to do tonight. I don't know. Is there a figure on this, Matt? Okay, well, this is my thing, though. When you go somewhere, you already paid for your ticket, their and back, right?
Starting point is 00:21:56 Because you can't just buy a one way. I mean, you could, but who does that if you're going to visit? Secondly, you already at least paid for your hotel or you should pay for it up front so that they can't cancel your hotel, although they can't cancel it. But after that, you, I mean, one, you're getting there and sleeping should be already covered. Already covered. And then you figure out the rest. You should be like, damn, I don't know if, I don't know if I'm able to eat. I can't make it back now.
Starting point is 00:22:23 Yeah. You know what I'm saying? At least you have someone to sleep, shower, be right. And I'm sure someone did take back money. And it might hurt him badly, but I saw someone else say like, he's just using this. And I'm not saying he is, but like he's just using this. Like he's telling people that. So other people start donating, feeling bad for him.
Starting point is 00:22:43 But like he has money. He's going to make it home. Like if they, if you have 10 grand in your account and 5,000 of it is from the donation and you spent the 5,000, half of that on hotel rooms and whatever and then they charge back the five, other five, you're, you got $0. dollars. Well, first of all, one, you should have an account. And if you spend some of that five, you're at negative 25, 35. He might be in the red bad.
Starting point is 00:23:10 No, do they still charge people for negative, like overdraft fees? But like, hell yeah, they do. Do they? There's times where I forget to, like, put money into my checking. Yeah. And then I'll go on. It'll be like $34 charge randomly. The only thing I will say, I don't want to fucking drag myself in it. But, I mean, you got to have like, you got to have, like, you got to have.
Starting point is 00:23:28 have a plan. Like you get donated that. Great. But if it's like you're going there and you're traveling there and you have zero dollars if it gets charged back, I mean, that's risky. That's just risky straight up, right? That's just a risky way to live. That's risky. I mean, and then, I mean, what Nick said, there's, there's that possibility, which, I mean, again, you don't want to assume that. Yeah, you don't want to assume that. But like, I don't know, it's kind of weird. It gets charged back. But he charged back and now you have nothing? Yeah. And now you're stranded and homeless. You didn't have, like, your shit wasn't already paid for. If you had five grand, he donates five.
Starting point is 00:24:02 Now you have ten. You use that five for whatever. You have the five left. You spent some of that. And he charged back, he could be in the red fucking, who knows what. And then if fucking his next Twitch payment isn't enough to cover what's red, he's still in the red. Yeah, but you see what I'm saying is why take a trip like that? If you're that.
Starting point is 00:24:25 Maybe, I mean, some people do do that. Yeah, I agree. You know what I agree? Some people do do that, though, and that might be his thing on Twitch to where, like, they're... I forget what it's called when they, like, don't really have homes, but they just have, like, a little bit of money and they make it work and they plan everything out. It's like, so an emergency or something bad happens, like, they really don't have money. Like, just because they are traveling like this, like, doesn't necessarily mean... I wouldn't do that personally.
Starting point is 00:24:50 They're playing it safe with extra money just in case. We're talking about another state. If you're going to, like, North Dakota or something, you're a couple states up, that's fine. You're going to Japan. We've got to have these funds in order. I mean, you're in a different country. If shit goes wrong, you're not dealing with the U.S. You're dealing with Japan.
Starting point is 00:25:06 You got to go to an embassy somewhere. Yeah, fuck that. I wouldn't do that personal. No, me either. Yeah, that's crazy. I just, I just, I plan. It's not your currency. I plan everything, right?
Starting point is 00:25:18 Like, I plan this trip. I could see myself doing this, to be honest. Really? I think you should have, well, first of all, you should have an account. It's not smart to have to not have a, backup plan, but it's like, I don't, I've had some spontaneous moments. But on the other foot, it is fucked up that that person charged back. But again, I mean, you never know what that person's going through. What if that person
Starting point is 00:25:38 gave this money out of the goodness of their heart? And then they needed the money back. It's like, that's where Twitch should step in and say, oh, or they made a mistake. Once you submit that, I don't think you should get it. Or they were scumbags and they donated it. And then they were like, got your ass. You know what I'm trapped in Japan? It's like, you know what? You called me a bad name on social a long time ago. Oh, God, this is my recent. I mean, there's so many ways it could be going.
Starting point is 00:26:04 You just don't know. But that's fucked. Should have unblocked me. Punk. Yeah, no, that's fucked up. Well, listen, he'll make, he'll be all right. Well, listen, I. Matt, can you make it a point to have a follow-up next week to see where this dude's at?
Starting point is 00:26:19 He's good. This is the Twitch community. Yeah, the Twitch community. Yeah, people will hook him up. He probably made money. Yeah, oh, yeah. What's going to happen? And that's why, like, there was comments under there saying, like, he's just going to get more money from this.
Starting point is 00:26:32 Which, I mean, whatever. I don't give a fuck. Yeah, I hope it works, man. I'm going to do your thing, man. And I do appreciate the good kind of heart of your community. That's how I was willing to do that. It's 2024, man. It's going to be a good year for everyone.
Starting point is 00:26:45 It is going to be a great year. We just exude positivity this year? Yeah. I'm trying. But I am going to hand out some negativity this year, though. 100%. In which I have been and I'm trying to stop, like in games. game chat someone kills me i'll just be like you dude no you haven't been you say i'm gonna smash your
Starting point is 00:27:00 fucking skull in that's what i'm saying dude he's comedy i have some moments where i'm like what am i what am i doing like i'll start typing in chat then i'll just i'll just delete my team but then sometimes and then we'll die yeah keep camping there my team's gonna kill you fucking coward he's like here comes sat i'm just like he's hilarious like scumpy we see you he'll die and he'll be like now you're dead It just comes out so quick. Like, it's like, it's not even, like, I have to, like, consciously be like, oh, shit, this is going to. No, my favorites.
Starting point is 00:27:32 Like, stop myself from fucking sane. My favorites when he dies and he's like, I, I just know I can. I know I'd fuck you up real life. I just want to real life, BR, where it's just a straight bra. Can we just do a battle royale in Dallas? Yeah, yeah. With, like, we trap off the American Airlines and we just, ah.
Starting point is 00:27:52 I will be honest, I am surprised that no one has set that up because that's something so easy to set up. Fight to the death? No, not to the death, but like, you know, like something very violent. That's what we're referring to. Think about, think about bump fights that happened in the 90s. Think about the bump fight thing. Then they had like all this, like all the other. Remember that shit?
Starting point is 00:28:14 Like, I am surprised that somebody hasn't done a battle royal bump fight. That's so fucked up, though. That's weird. I watch. Even if it wasn't, even if it wasn't Bums, it's like, I mean,
Starting point is 00:28:27 there are people that would do it though. Just imagine? Because people are just fucking sickos. You go from, from Bump to Bilt to Millionaire. Because there's a million dollar price in the end. Like you're just. Squid Games.
Starting point is 00:28:37 Yeah, like Squid Games. But listen, you do it. Like, you're doing it. When's season two of Squid Games come out? I don't know.

Starting point is 00:29:00 Why not? They're going to have different games. They already got, they already left my interest. There's a season two? They took too long? They took too long. They had my, they captivated my, my interest. But then they, I mean, I was assuming they're busy.
Starting point is 00:29:15 I don't know. Like the first one. I can't really remember how it ended. Even if it flops, they're still going to make money. Squid game two? It could be the worst show ever They'll still profit I don't know if that exists
Starting point is 00:29:26 Like a like a billionaires like that That put money up like that Just to see the entertainment Probably Who knows? I mean I'm sure Because I want season two

I remember I used to be at my grandmother's house playing like cod-for. And somebody would bring a sandwich and you would get all.
Starting point is 00:42:08 And now, they bring me a sandwich. And then I put it on the ground next to me. Look down. It'd be gone. The dog ate it. Yeah. Fucking coward. You put your sandwich on the ground?

Starting point is 00:42:50 while it's getting rid. Just hairy shit pants. But that is all of the enzymes from this good food that's getting rid of all the toxins and all the shit. They're gonna shit themselves. He's definitely not used to it.
Starting point is 00:42:59 Once you get into the clean one, you have nothing but solid poop that's easy to pick up. And I'll tell you what. The groomers that come to our house to groom the fucking dogs, they brought us tamales from Venezuela. They call them something different,
Starting point is 00:43:17 But I was about to fucking cook one. They're fucking delicious. I was about to cook one. And I put it on the counter. And I saw Henry smelling and I'm like, hey, right? I went to my office to get something. By the time I got back, Jude's like, oh, my God. He was, he ate the whole fucking thing.
Starting point is 00:43:29 What? Two buys that. Oh, done. He was in jail. They put it in Jew. They don't enjoy it. They just fucking. Oh.

Starting point is 00:43:46 Yeah. Done. Yeah, yeah. Easy. Just their survival instincts or something. They just eat, man. That's what it is. Henry is like the most dangerous one because obviously like if he's, he can put, he can rest his his chin right here like this without like leaning up.
Starting point is 00:44:01 Like that's how tall he is. So he's easy. The second he says up, he can reach anything everywhere. Surprise the motherfucker hasn't burnt himself on the on the stove. Mark. Your dog gets mad like when you go next to him while he's eating and shit? No, no. No, no.
Starting point is 00:44:13 But if they come near me, all I have to do is this. Mm. And he'll be like, oh, slowly backs up. I like doing that. Like going like primal with them. Yeah. You do that? With yours?
Starting point is 00:44:26 Sometimes. All you got to do is, I'll put my head against his. Eye each other, start growling at him. And they just start smacking up slowly. I'm a fucking alpha in this house. And then he sees you, your girl telling you to pick something up. And then he's like, ain't shit. I'll tell you what, though.
Starting point is 00:44:47 like I know who they who they think is the alpha Jude's the only one she's the mom you know that they'll protect like they'll probably protect her against me they'll lose but they'll try
Starting point is 00:44:58 how many dogs you have six wait you think you beat Henry one-on-one hell no I don't know there's just too much technique involved I believe that I can not a bite off
Starting point is 00:45:10 just okay listen how about this if there's a dog exactly like Henry who has never met me I'd have a tough time because those canines are this fucking big and he literally he can jump up here

Greatest of all time AR, of course people are going to want to see him. Greatest of all time Halo player, of course.
Starting point is 00:46:58 Wait. I'm retired for Cod, maybe. I guess you could never really say never. It would have to take a lot for me personally. They're like unretired and go back to Cod. It has to be like a really good cod. I have to be a good team. To be in the right headspace.
Starting point is 00:47:09 Like it had to be a lot of shot. Like the Cod grind is a lot different from the Halo ground. The Cod grind is a lot more intense. A lot more serious. Halo grinds like whatever, dude. Like, scrimmed around like that fucking serious. Like, they're serious, but you know what I mean? Like, cod's like, like 11 a.m.
Starting point is 00:47:27 to like fucking 4 p.m. type shot. Like, there's so much different. More than that. Yeah? It'd be a really good cod. That's what really, really like it, type shot. I can't imagine form while living like that anymore. Nah?
Starting point is 00:47:38 Cod scrims are probably like 12 to 7 right now for like teams. They probably get on an hour early. Scrims start at one. They probably wrap up around like six. Like, I feel like I kind of. saw it formal's last year of like semi dreading it
Starting point is 00:47:53 its long days couldn't wait for that shit to get like practice to be over like the only exciting thing would be the matches but like besides that like unless you're in love with the game and he's already proved so much that he's not like I guess has that
Starting point is 00:48:09 fire in him to like even though I don't like the game that much like I just want to fucking win like he's already won so much that I don't know. I don't know if he... I mean, he obviously could if he really wanted to.
Starting point is 00:48:22 It's just hard to even want to when you're at the point form what's at. Because like people at this point, he's fucking 29. He does... No one likes the games anymore. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:48:33 You're saying that Eastport is a young man's game? A little bit. I just think once you're around it so long and you've played so many cods and you've experienced the good cods and the bad cods and now every cod seems so redundant redundant, it's the same shit.
Starting point is 00:48:50 And yes, you do get bored of it. And that makes it so much harder to go through these seven, eight hour days. Could he do it if he absolutely forced himself? I think so. But like, I just don't see him even like wanting to do that. Then you're forcing yourself.
Starting point is 00:49:03 Then you're not playing as good as you can because you're forcing yourself to do it. Yeah, it's like... What do you know? Huh? Okay. The flow states harder to achieve. I was forcing myself still dropping one point two.
Starting point is 00:49:13 What would it take? I don't want to. How much would it take? I don't want to. Really? No. I'm saying no to money. Dude, I fucking, I love my routine right now.
Starting point is 00:49:21 Yeah? Yeah, no stress. Fucking. Love it. Nobody expects anything of me but to get on and just be myself. I mean, it's great fucking, it's great gig right now, man. I'm loving it. I'm happy for you.
Starting point is 00:49:31 I fucking, I've been loving it, man. Freedom, don't have to get scrims. Like, dude, with scrims around the holidays, like, dude, you get like two holiday days, you get to go home? Actually, it's not true. That's not true. But is Preds still and, or is Predback? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:49:44 I know Dashu's not back. But Brandon's not back, but like you're just on the team's So it's like, you know, you're like how content feels. That's how it's like to be on the team. Because like you're on content schedule now. Yeah. You're not on your schedule. You're on content schedule.
Starting point is 00:49:57 You're on practice schedule. So I've been loving them in. After fucking however many years are competing, it's been a nice change of pace. I can't lie. I'm with it. Now you love war zone. Nah, we get on war zone every day and just fucking vibe for six hours. Oh, it is crazy.
Starting point is 00:50:11 That's what we do. And on Halo, I used to get on stream two, three hours. I'm like, I'm getting the fuck off. I'm so bored. I'm so annoyed. I'm so mad. Now with Warzone, I didn't even know
Starting point is 00:50:23 if I was going to really play Warzone. To be honest, I don't know what the fuck I was going to do. Like, I've always felt like a solo gamer. Like, I'll play solos by myself and somehow,
Starting point is 00:50:34 like, try to make an entertaining for my stream. But now, like, playing quads and, like,
Starting point is 00:50:39 actually having people to get on with, it's, I'll look over and see, like, I've been streaming four and a half hours. It wouldn't be like. I feel like I'm,
Starting point is 00:50:46 like just getting warmed up and like I want to have like a good game. Yeah, yeah. That's like I feel like I can go two, three, four more hours. Like I think my last five streams have been like eight hours long. I personally, which is unheard of. I personally think the Addy days. That's what I'm talking about.
Starting point is 00:51:04 I've never streamed this long. I mean streaming solo is just I always said streaming solo is just, it's still like fun if you find the right thing to do solo. But like there's nothing beats viving with the boys. Yeah. Like time. flies when it's like that. Yesterday I remember looking at my shit and it said two hours, 28 minutes. I'm like, uh-huh. Just getting started.
Starting point is 00:51:23 Sometimes it is a little. And I said 4.59. I'm like, damn. There is a vibe. There is a vibe though sometimes with my solo streams. I feel like I'm way more engaged with my community. Like I can, I'll play solos and I'm walking around in the middle of fucking war zone. No one's shooting me. I'm reading chat. Re subs and because re-subs and subs and donations, whatever. They'll come in more often when you're like, it's you in your chat.
Starting point is 00:51:52 So like, I enjoy that aspect of it. And I have fun doing that as well. And it's just like a different vibe. But then once you start going try hard with quads, it's like chat slows down a little bit and you're more locked in. So I mean, there's good sides to both of it. But playing quads seems like time flies. And I've been enjoying that lately.
Starting point is 00:52:12 Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah, you were saying that you were loving war zone. Good. I said I've been loving it. Yeah, thank God. I hate that I love it so much. In the beginning, I didn't think I would.
Starting point is 00:52:24 But as I'm slowly getting better, the only thing, it just seems like every fight is building to building. They're on top of the building. They got shit planted in the building, the bouncing betty's. And the only way you can get up is a fucking zip line. And they're just watching the zip line.
Starting point is 00:52:42 Well, you got the trick, though. You know how to do the trick. Then you're running and you just get chunked by two snipers and you're down and scumps cross the map. He ain't picking you up. Well, it's harder for you. I'm gonna be so annoying.
Starting point is 00:52:52 I'm gonna get you back. Yeah, it's harder for you guys. The interceptor. Like, it's harder for you guys because you guys are playing live. So people are obviously going to go to those point of interest where you guys are at because who doesn't want to fight you guys, right?
Starting point is 00:53:03 That's them. When you're playing, like, listen. It's scum squad. You just see him fucking Navy. What is it? Navy six. Steel Team Six. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:14 Like that's what it felt like. I'll tell you what. I think Warzone will be better if there were no loadouts And everybody had to fight with whatever random weapons were on the fucking I hate it until I get my load out Fuck no With my load out I'm like find me an enemy You know how often I get my load out when I play war zone?
Starting point is 00:53:29 Never I literally just play with whatever I pick up You're playing a whole different game Yeah, and get your shit I don't want to get my shit In a pub? No, of course I do You like playing sandbox?
Starting point is 00:53:43 Just the guns on the game Give me that. I can't even think of a fucking, that's, Hex loves the sidewinder. MCW 6.8, 10 shots, it's an MCW but single shots.
Starting point is 00:53:56 Yeah. It's so dumb. Now, they're trolling with the ground loot. Dude, the ground loot should be like way better. No, that's pretty good. Nah,
Starting point is 00:54:04 there's some trolley shit on the ground. Like half the guns, you don't even want to use. Yeah. And I don't know what it's going to be like when I start shooting it. Spoil kittens. I don't know what the gun's going to
Starting point is 00:54:15 be like when I start shooting I'll get in a gun fight just hold it down and it's a single shot or it's a burst SMG I'm like what the f oh yeah the gold ice show yeah yeah the burst yeah dude the lockman yeah the lockman the lockman and it's a gold gun I'm like yes I was saying like I don't use the right low I don't even know I'm gonna hit you guys up for those loadouts because I don't use those you know the SVA have you used it yeah yeah yeah the single tap is a three burst I didn't know that lucid's are using it's fucking good as fuck who lose it plays he's good as fuck As soon as you switch it to single
Starting point is 00:54:47 the R1 is burst in three it's pretty dope he better than No I like I like It kind of hits You get that initial burst on people It kind of hits
Starting point is 00:54:57 I haven't had this much fun On Color Duty And maybe it's the color Maybe it's the brightness Maybe it's like That we need it I can't see Maybe that it's been so bad
Starting point is 00:55:06 That this is like good I only play resurgence So I don't play that That RPG shit Where I can't see shit Ever I don't like Have you guys
Starting point is 00:55:14 Have you guys play the The resurgence was this like fog the entire time? Yeah, Vandal. Yeah. Have you played it? Yeah, that's the, I don't like that shit. No, yeah. They're literally the, the, uh, announcer in the game.
Starting point is 00:55:26 He'll come on and be like, all right, guys, fog's going down. And I'm like, motherfuckers, take the fog out completely. Yeah. Yeah, what's the point? Like, stop being creative. Don't get too creative. Like, relax. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:36 Spend that energy elsewhere. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Uh, I don't know. Overall, listen, I got nothing bad to say about the, the, the, the, game itself. Yeah, I wish there were more, like in resurgence, there's like a paintball field. There's some other random shit, more open areas.
Starting point is 00:55:55 But in like the actual war zone map, whatever it's called, fucking Erzakistan or that we're playing, it's like, it's just nothing by buildings and buildings. Yeah, they need to turn on paintball bullets again. Like put on, put on just a different like your gun, you could use normal. You could use like MW3 gun sound or like paintball bullets or some shit. Yeah, they did that so that they could get sponsors because the blood obviously was too gory. So they did the paintball mode so that we can get sponsors. Oh, yeah, yeah, that is true. Mark.
Starting point is 00:56:27 I mean, I don't know why they continue. It's like, I get, like, nobody's immersed in this shit. Nobody believes that they're a Navy SEAL team. No, you can't say it. There's definitely some dads out there. Yeah, bro. We saw, no, there is, was it us? Probably a bigger majority.
Starting point is 00:56:44 We were playing. Was it us when there was a team of four in like a chopper and they just kept like hovering over us? I forget who I was playing with, but they were just moving like a Navy SEAL team. Oh yeah. Like they were just raining shots, get back in the chopper, like hover over. They had like, gung, gung, gung, gung, gong, gong, gong, gong, gong. Just like out of the side of the chopper. One dude swooping down.
Starting point is 00:57:06 Like, and then they pick him back up. They're out of there. They're refueling at the gas station. Like, everybody, they get out of the. And then they watch certain, like, positions while they feel like. Yeah, they're so bad, but they like, they like, they make it fun. I love that shit. Yeah, I like I'm experiencing Call of Duty from like a brand new perspective with my boys from home, right?
Starting point is 00:57:25 The pill push a motherfuckin'all fucking CDs. You know what I'm saying? Like, I see them playing and they're just like, they're so immersed in it that I'm like, oh, man, like it's, it's good to see like people seeing this. They're down to camp on top of the building. Yeah, the whole time. Circles coming to us. Yeah, yeah. There's 10 minutes left in the fucking game.
Starting point is 00:57:43 Yeah. The circle's coming as their hill here. Yeah, they play as like the hunted instead of the hunters. Yeah. They just wait out. Yeah. I'm like, I'm like, they'll see us. Like, they'll be at the tall blue building.
Starting point is 00:57:55 And like, they'll see us coming down going up the fucking. And they just can't play. They see me fucking let my shit go early. I'm shooting them where I'm playing. They're like, how the fuck do that? Like, they'll see us coming from afar and they have a whole, they got the whole setup. They start planting claymores at the fucking. That shit's great.
Starting point is 00:58:11 Whatever the zip lines. They're planting clay more. They got Betty bombs up the steps. It's funny. There's different dynamics for people to play. Which makes it fun. Yeah. This year, my family and I are going to take a trip to Tokyo.
Starting point is 00:58:27 And in the last weekend alone, there's been a fucking massive earthquake. You know, obviously our thoughts with the people affected by it. And then there was a plane that crashed on the runway. Did you see that? Wait, what? A big-ass plane landed and crashed into a soft. smaller plane that was that was driving by right there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:48 Toasted the other plane. Smoked it. All the fire that you see on this plane is gasoline from the other one. Now, this is someone's fault. Like the dude who conducts the fucking traffic? Yeah. Imagine you've seen this. Heidi. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:05 Look at that. Some of the stuff that was on the plane, they're like, uh, look how fucking big that plane is. Yeah. I mean, the other plane got toast, dude. disintegrated. Gosh, I didn't even see it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:19 Yeah, so. Did you guys see that, I don't know where it was, some politician got stabbed in the neck by that guy? Also in Japan. That was in Japan? I think so. God, damn.
Starting point is 00:59:30 Dude, he was right in front of him and the guy, like, hit him with, like, a jab and then, like, forced him down. Right here. But I don't know if they actually went through it, it went into the collar. It is collar, like. No, I think he went,
Starting point is 00:59:42 yeah, I don't know if, I mean, I don't know what I'm saying though I was like Juggler man went straight for the jugular man Went straight for the jugular What just some crazy Rando and a politician A reporter being swarmed

Starting point is 01:00:32 Yeah. It was gas. I've seen it. Like they run at Airbnb, but they come home. Dude. Tell them the whole, tell him how it ends. Well, I'm trying to, I'm pretty. Okay.
Starting point is 01:00:42 I'm pretty sure the ending piss me off. Okay, the ending did not piss me off. But listen, before, let's not go any further. Is that Dr. Strange? No. No, he's not. What'd been cool if he were? Marsa, Mar's his name?
Starting point is 01:00:59 I enjoyed the movie. I always say his name wrong, but he's a fucking excellent actor. He's one of my favorite actors. What's his name? Mara, Mahershala Ali. So good. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that. You should watch it.

Starting point is 01:01:44 movie. Yeah. But those are my favorite. I love those types of movies. Yeah, yeah. This was really good. Really fucking good. The ending, I thought was almost perfect.
Starting point is 01:01:54 I know people are going to be like, what? But that's all I'll say. All right. But it is a very polarizing ending. Like some people love it. Some people hate it. That's fine. Nick hates it.
Starting point is 01:02:01 That's fine. Apparently. I just remember being weirded out that it was over. No, it was so good. The setup, the build up and the way it ended, it was like really good. Did you see it? You don't watch it. Don't look up was, I love that movie.
