A Weird Drug (The Flycast #001) by The Flycast

Okay, it's finally happening. The to be determined the name of whatever it is called podcast. Do podcasts? Do podcasts start off like that though? Yeah. With their first episode, they don't have a name yet. Oh, maybe. Ours is.

Or are we the first podcasts and not have a name? Yeah. And just start. Well, you don't want to like, you want to change the meta. We have a couple metas to change. That is true. One being not having a mic. in our face.

Well, I'm, you can turn your chair. Maybe not a hood up. Yeah. So you have a few medas. You have a few medas in each. We had what the WTF Fridays,

which obviously is not Friday. So that's not going to be it. Yeah. I didn't think that that idea was very good on your part. I think we should have got something else. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Hex said the humdrum. I think that's a pretty good one. Yeah. And it's original. If you guys don't know, just Google. I made like a stupid moniker. with the name humdrum and just so just google what it means honestly at this point i forget

yeah also when we're talking do we look at the camera i'm gonna glance back do i don't know do we i don't think holy shit yeah maybe we don't i'm so used to it as like i think it's like more they're a fly we don't know they're there that's that's that what podcasts are yeah yeah you're right well i mean for the optic podcast it's it's Like, they... That's not... It's like a... That's like the breakfast club, almost.

The optic podcast. Do you watch any podcasts? Joe Rogan. Yeah. The only one would be Joe Rogans. And his is, I don't know, his is a little bit of both. They kind of like,

they kind of are like interacting with the viewers, but it's mostly just conversation. Yeah. Like, it's like they're just a fly on the wall. That's something nice. They just happen to be hearing like the viewers just want to be in the room with you they don't want like

I can't really say what they want but it's more of just them just listening in right I guess it's like a doing YouTube content for so long and you're always looking at a camera yeah and it's like your second nature just to like include the camera into the conversation it's like a different type of entertainment because this is like when we do vlogs and videos it's

more of not necessarily trying to be entertaining but it's like it's like you're doing something for someone to enjoy yeah okay instead of just talking and this is just like chilling i guess okay that makes sense i watched yeah i watch joe rogans you actually put me on to joe rogan's podcast oh shit i can't unplug like that oh shit wait did i don't no i don't think you're good uh you're about Just rip off the whole requirement. Is there another USB on that? Yeah. See, we can just do normal life stuff, like charging phones.

Like charge your phone? Are you going to tweet during? Nah, I won't do that. There's certain things we're not going to be able to do. Like, we're going to have to have shit to talk about. Is it? Is it charging you? No.

Like, didn't you say you had... This being our first podcast episode, it's going to be like, where do we start? Yeah, like where do you want this to go? Well, I was talking to, well, I guess this is like a time where I'm talking to the people listeners. It's like, where are we going to go with this? I was telling Hitch, you know what we should do and someone, well, no, they're not going to steal it because we're going to do it.

But at the same time, it's like, do I even want to say it or leave it a surprise of my idea of what I was saying what we should do? just because it'd be different. If you say it, then if anybody steals it, you still said it first. So you can say it. Yeah, but should I leave it a surprise? You're talking about the thing you literally. Like they click on our next episode for the podcast.

I mean, I'm down. And they're just like, what the fuck are they doing? Yeah, I'm down. So not saying it? Yeah. You guys will just have to wait. Have you ever seen Bill? But I'm not talking to you.

You're just listening. You guys, you fly on the wall. You flies. You flies are going to have to wait. brother whoever's listening um the flycast have you ever listened to bill burs uh podcast a little bit yeah just because i know he was on jo rogan's podcast and then jo rogan will be well like mentioned bill's podcast and so i'd like randomly listen in yeah but yeah his is pretty good too it's like him by himself yeah he doesn't have any ranting and he just

this is literally his uh his therapy that's his podcast for sure he definitely you can tell he does it for himself more than he does it for just blowing off steam yeah whole time but it's like the way he like how good he talks and like forms together sentences and ideas is like it's kind of like mesmerizing like you can't help but listen yeah that's like what comedians do yeah that's why they're so good it doesn't like matter what they're talking about it's just something is being said and you're listening right they just have a way of saying stuff. Dude,

being a comedian, I've always said that being a comedian would have to be like the hardest like profession to get into. Why was I thinking about that the other day? I was like comedians. Like how hard it is to, all right,

just say doing an intro for a smooth competition. Like, what's up guys? Brand new another episode of, like we'll do that and we'll fuck up. like five times.

No one ever gets it. Just because you're like on the spot. Yeah. And it's like, what do I say again? Stuff like that. And then to be a comedian, it's like you're literally put in front of like hundreds to thousands of people. And it's like, make me laugh.

Yeah. But like what I've always thought is how do you get to that point? Like how do you, how do you just become Kevin, Kevin Hart and you're just performing? I've literally heard Kevin Hart's literally say that. they were like how did you become Kevin Hart and he's like you don't just become Kevin Hart right he's like like oh I say

like he's been doing it for like 15 years or whatever it's like it's kind of like the same thing how do you become hitch or mania yeah I guess I guess it makes sense like how do you join optic it just it seems like it starts out as like loving

whatever you're doing yeah like just putting your all into everything into it but it seems like it seems like being an actor an actress, like you, you go to, like, obviously you don't really hear of the people that are, like, like, on the come up until they, like, make it big. Or, or they're in a movie that you just randomly watch. But, like, there is still, you go to school, then you go to either L.A. or New York, and then you just pray. You just hope you get a manager or an agent or an amazing

role, and then you'll make it. I wonder how many truly talented people there are. that haven't made it. Just don't ever make it. Because I feel like if you really do have it, it'll happen somehow. The law of attraction. Yeah. I was just, I was literally just, I was, obviously you, I was, all right, you got me into like the Joe Rogan podcast.

And so then now on the side of the YouTube. Like recommended. Yeah. It's all just like motivational montage. It was like 30 minutes long. Which one do you watch, the law of attraction with like all this. celebrities like Denzel Will or no Will Smith

I think Will Smith isn't I think he has like a clip in it Yeah, but I'm talking about when All the actors Excuse me, I don't know if you could hear that All the I don't know if all the All the it was a bunch of actors It was like Denzel like sitting in a circle Did you see that one?

No Denzel Leonardo DiCaprio They're talking to each other Yeah Like all those great actors actors like in a circle like a like yeah and there and one of the subjects they talked about was like law of attraction and just like thinking about stuff will bring it like to a reality or like believing

i mean that's something that it's really easy to say that once you've made it i guess but like are there people that literally i mean i'm sure there's plenty of delusional people that think they have it and it never comes. Yeah, that's true. I guess being real with yourself. Being real with yourself is very important too. I went to the mall one time in Greensboro and there was like this little kiosk and there was this lady there that had a recording studio.

And I went in there and I was like, I was like rapping at the time with like my roommates and I was like, hey, like my roommates was like, yo, hitch. You know, Davis, you should go see how much it would. cost to like get recording studio or get recording time and so I walked in and there was just like this lady and it was very obvious that she was trying to push her own content rather than like push push like recording time um yeah so I was like how much would it be for like an hour in the recording session or like to to record or whatever and she was like oh that would be like 75 bucks but if you want to see hear this and the quality I'm

I'm the best rapper on the East Coast. I was like... I mean... So I bought it. I bought the CD. I bought the CD and then I literally, I couldn't get through like three tracks. I couldn't get through three tracks. Yeah, they're garbage.

Yeah. And people, people, I've never been impressed with someone that's like, yo, you should check out my music. And it's like... Dude, same. Yeah, I put out some music, but I don't do it because I think it's good and I'm trying to make it. Right. I just do it for like, because I enjoy it and it's like kind of entertaining or whatever. Because I feel like, I'm a pro gamer, but like doing this.

But I'm not out there. Like I'm the, I'm the best rapper. Check me. Buy this. By this. I'm the best rapper in e-sports. Like I would never sell beats unless I know they're that good. But I feel like that's, that comes back to like the law of attraction thing.

It's like, yeah, you have to be obsessed with something. And yeah, you have to put your all into it. but you all have to be real with yourself. So, well, some people just, some people literally don't have that fucking, yeah, whatever it is. Like if I, they just don't have that thing that makes you aware. Yeah. Yeah, that makes sense.

Of being, of sucking. If you, like, go through life, like, if, if I went through life obsessing over basketball and said, I want to be a professional basketball player, I'll stop at nothing, it's never going to happen. Like, I just don't have the. ability. Yeah. You just don't have it.

Yeah, you just don't have it. So you have to be real with yourself. If you don't have it and what you do have, there's always something that you can do. It's like, well, it's not like seeing something and like I can do anything. No, you can't. But what you can do is figure out what you could be great at. Yeah, exactly. Not like there's just some stuff you're not going to be good.

good at. Yeah. I mean, I was just like, there's some stuff you can put so many more hours into than other people, but they'll just be better. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. It's like I, and you always, you can always find something too. Like for me, I, like, loved video games or whatever. It's just always something that my generation grew up with. And then I wasn't good enough to actually play. Yeah, I guess you can. So I literally, I literally found a way to get in. without doing it that way. You went like, yeah. You're like the rapper that couldn't rap.

Literally, I'm DJ Khalid of e-sports. But, yeah. So this is how the podcast, do we talk to them? Yeah. This is how the podcast is going to go. This being the first episode, we need to, I guess. That's actually hilarious because I wrote down things just in case. I feel like we won't ever have a problem getting stuck of what to talk about.

some stuff that like even Joe Rogan not to always reference that but like even his podcast it's like there's some stuff that like you know people are going to kind of want to hear or at least like say tragedy or something happens oh yeah we could get into something else for like an hour but it's like oh shoot we should have kind of talked about this yeah so there's definitely some stuff we should try to have some kind of subjects in case we run dry here. That is actually crazy because on my little notebook I wrote what the fuck. WTF Friday podcast. And then I wrote content creator career, different roads to how we got here,

which we just talked about. And then I also wrote down a law of a trash. That was like the first fucking thing we talked about. All right. Well, now we're out of ideas. Now all the ideas are. I'm getting this chair. What do you mean?

Are you that uncomfortable? Yes. Okay. We'll move the coffee off of it. All right. Anyway. But what else did I write down? Okay.

We can talk about this. So, so. So, no meta already. Getting the new chairs. Oh, wait. We'll have. Wait until the new chairs come in. Special podcast edition chairs.

Um, but, While I was at, dude, I think I have the worst luck at airports. We don't have to get into it. But I haven't had an on-time flight. I literally don't think ever, like ever. In the past six months, I don't think I've had a flight leave on time. What's crazy is I've been flying since 2007 and I've only had one delayed flight. And it was at like after Christmas to come back here.

Are you kidding me? Yeah. What? I don't know. But I've missed. But then, well, actually Well, don't you miss flights all the time? Yeah, but it's like if it was delayed, I'd make it.

So it's kind of fucking me. If my flights were delayed more often, I'd make more fights because I miss flights all the time. I'm just such a procrastinator. But yeah, it is crazy. People talk about missing flights all the time. I don't think I'm just like, I've never, I was literally always saying I've never had a delayed flight

until after Christmas they come back here, like the 27th or 28th of December. I've only missed one flight, and that was the first time I ever flew, because me and Blake, me and Blake had a connecting flight in Atlanta, and when we got off the plane in Atlanta, we went back out to go get our bags from baggage claim.

But you left and had to recheck, like, go through security. Well, we went to go get our bags from baggage claim because we didn't realize that we picked up our bags, like our bags were connecting too. This was the first time I'd ever flown, so I didn't know anything. So it was like, so we have to go get our bags and then recheck them in, right? And so we stood at baggage claim forever. And then they were like, I went up and I was like, hey, we were supposed to get our bags? And they said, yeah, you pick up your bags in New York.

So that's the only time I've ever missed a flight. Have you ever just completely forgot your bag? What? Like just like, I had a care. carry on and it was like one of those suitcases that you just roll with you right and I uh I literally just left it there you just walked off the plane

and forgot about it yeah did you ever get it back never saw it again what was there anything expensive in there I don't think so just clothes but it was like nice clothes and like a full suitcase too dang no I've never done that so I was pissed you just forget I don't know I've literally I've done it actually I've only done it like one or two other times but it's it's like made it to bag it or no I've

checked in my bag it goes to baggage claim but I never pick it up like one time I got I've landed here and like got an Uber for back to the house and I'm like standing out there for my Uber and then I'm like wait a sec I don't have my bag so I like go down to the baggage claim and I look for it and I don't see it and I'm like what the fuck and then uh they end up they're just like what color is it blah blah is your name tag on it or something and I'm like no like there's nothing in it that i was like I can tell you what's inside of it uh and they I think they just trusted me off that and I just got it back oh but they had to like go get it took like 20 minutes just to get my bag back missed the Uber well anyway where I was going with

that was. Oh, yeah. What was your story? Was, so I got off the cruise ship and, um, Hex was like, okay, I'll get you your flight from Miami to Atlanta, what time. And I was like, well, I don't know what time I'm going to be off the ship. So like later in the afternoon would probably be best. So, uh, I told him that. And then I put my phone on airplane mode, uh, for the entire cruise, didn't talk to anybody. And then when I got back off the cruise, uh, Hex was in, uh, Mexico with his phone on airplane mode. So I had no idea what time I was going to be departed. Do you even know what airline? No, I had no idea what airline.

So I just went in and he was like, what airline? And I said, yeah, like the Uber. He was like, what airline? And I was like, America. I just made one up. And then I went in to the American terminal, put my credit card in like where it like matches up your name and it printed off. It was like, it was like, all right. That's so what? They were like Robert Edwards. I was like, yeah. So I hit it. And then it said departing time. I got there. I got there. I got to the airport at 9.30 a.m. because we got off the boat super quick. And then the print, the ticket printed off and it said 9.45 p.m. And I was like, like, I'm cool at sitting in an airport. I don't have a problem with it, but 12 hours. So I went up to the person. I was like,

is there any way I could like change my flight? And they were like, every flight from Atlanta or from Miami to Atlanta from nap from for the rest of the day is booked. Like we don't have anything else. I feel like they just say that. I don't know if I believe them ever. Yeah. Every flight I'm on, I see at least one open seat. That's true, but that could be somebody missing the flight. That could be literally anything.

But as far as like tickets sold, I mean, you can't sell a ticket if it's already. Yeah. But anyway, so I was sitting there and I was like, what am I going to do? I edited for a little while. I watched like a nice. I want to some mic and pick that up. Dude, you've been. You've been doing that a lot lately.

Anyway, I'm not going to hold it. I can't smell. So I was sitting there. Are you all right? That's bad. I was sitting there. I edited. I watched some movies.

And then there was like a bookstore right there. And I was like, I'm not a... When you bought the book and tweeted it. Yeah. I'm like, I'm not a big reader. But I'll pretend I am for 12 hours. If there's a bookstore right here, I might as well read something. And I was like, but I have nothing.

I don't want to read like a Like a fictional Drama or anything like that So I was just like I'm gonna buy like a That's why I don't watch TV shows Life oh I tear through TV shows I don't I don't know I just don't get it

You don't get like I can I don't like fall into the fantasy world Of like Anything I guess for me I'm like too I'm too much of a realist Like I don't If it's not like people

like Game of Thrones and like I can't relate to Game of Thrones because that's like that's like way it's not super unrealistic but it's like way back in the day type shit

but that's like the thing with Game of Thrones for me it's like it's kind of like somebody like one guy just had this like open canvas of imagination and he built like a world and it's crazy how many different

like storylines link up with each other. I mean, I can definitely, I understand the talent. Right. And creativity behind it, but I don't know. I wish I could because I'm fucking bored after time. But I don't know. I just, I can't get into TV shows.

It's only like certain types of movies that I'm into. Right. I don't watch like, the only types of movies I'd say I do watch would be like comedy, but mostly it'd be like thrillers in like kind of like mind fuck movies where you're just like what What's the movie you want me to watch?

Old boy? Yeah, old boy Still haven't watched it There's probably a lot of A lot of the movies that I've I haven't seen many movies at all But probably the ones that I have seen You need to see

Or you probably haven't seen Right Because it's like all the weird movies Yeah Yeah Yeah, but But anyway, about the book, I was just like, I was just like walking around. I was like, what am I going to like, what am I doing in here?

Am I going to get like a magazine? I was like looking at the maxims. I was like, no. So then I, is this the part I tell a story about me buying one? And then we can get back to yours in 10 minutes. I thought you were going to tell your Playboy Maxim's stories. I do have one now. Do you really?

Yeah, we won't. Well, another after. All right. So I was just walking around. I was like, what am I going to read? And then I saw like a self-motivation section or self-inspiring or something like that's my section. Yeah. Like, I don't read books, but that's a section I go to if I do read books.

Yeah. I remember when Ace was here, Ace was like, because we would always just sit there and then somebody would be like, man, can we fucking start reading? Or like they would say something like that. and Ace said that he was like can we start reading and I was like I bet you Nick reads but the only thing that Nick's reads are like power of the mind yeah that's that's all that's the only thing I've ever read yeah I've read one I've read holes but not I like fake read it that's a good ass book yeah it is good but yeah um so I was like I'm as well I've never I've never decided to read anything willingly in a very long time so weird I'm looking at the

they can't tell I was looking through this part of the this the little bar you can see me through it I wasn't even gonna I didn't even think about it until you said it every time you look over now I'm just like this

I just see like just two bars in your little eye just like squeaking through I'm just not gonna I'm not face the camera let's be that podcast what if we turn the projector on and it's like Like, we should like, we were like, daft punk.

They never saw us. It's like a class lecture. And they, we turn that on to where they could only see the back of our head, like the, we're just a silhouette. We're like puppets. How you do like. Yeah, silhouette. Is that what it would be called? But what if all the lights were off and then just that was white and then are just, and then we could just like face each other.

And then it would still be kind of dope, right? We can call it the. We can just do like random shit for like random episodes. Oh, I'm down. That could be one episode, the one, the thing you were saying before. Yeah. Let's write these down. Write it down.

I don't have, do you have a pen? Put it in, text yourself. All right. So anyway, I was walking through the, uh, through the bookstore. I was like, uh, and I remembered that one story with like, like, or we were like, the three of us were going to Mago and you said that I was like I might as well read something like that I've never read anything like that before so I got a book about character and I got a book about motivation but I think I left the book about motivation in Atlanta so nice but the character book is pretty

good that's the one I started reading anyway what building like building your character whatever it's a number one bestseller on New York Times I feel like I've seen too many books with that title. Yeah, same. I feel like the number one New York Times books changes like every 15 minutes, just so people can put that on as like a marketing scheme.

And I knew I was getting tricked when I bought it, but I still bought it. Yeah. Just to build character. That happens every time you buy anything, really. That's true. What books have you read as far as? I have a terrible memory,

so I honestly couldn't tell you the names. The titles of them? Yeah. I would have to like Google. shit I bought. I honestly don't, I don't think... I have, like, I don't know why I'm so bad with titles.

Like, on, say, every Drake's album, I could say the lyrics in the song, but if you say, what's the name of the song, I honestly couldn't tell you. Well, for like Drake... It's weird. Especially with Drake's albums, because I just put it in

and listen to the entire thing through it. Like, Bryson Taylor's album, I don't know if I could tell you anything. Like, hardly any of the songs, but I could sing every single word to them. but yeah, I would, I'm the same way with the character. I call it the character book because I don't know the title, but I mean, it's a good, it's a good ass book.

Yeah. Just, and he speaks as in like, I've never read a book where, where he's like in the following pages, I'm going to say this or this or we're going to, we're going to dive deeper into this. And it's like kind of somebody's talking to you rather than you're reading like a, like a book, just about anything. He's like directly speaking to the, like a. psychiatrist.

Yeah. Or to the reader. He's like constantly breaking that wall between between audience and teller. That's pretty cool. The fourth wall.

It's like a different way of writing a book. Writing. Yeah. Did the, because you're like super into like motivating things. Did the book that you read change anything?

There's a change of perspective? For a while. but then it's like I always do something like that and then just fall back into like the habit. Yeah. The habit of things. Yeah. The habit of things is a good way of putting it. I just fall back into the.

Like I was working out. I would like make myself read for like at least 15 minutes a night. And I was just, I was on. What I did notice was reading would. make me really tired. So I like I would read and by the end of like 15 minutes I'd literally just want to go to sleep. But like because recently I've been working out and shit but it's like I'll still be up till 6 a.m. just literally sitting there just being like like God I wish I was tired. Yeah. It's like I'll be tired to where like the bed's comfortable but it's not tired enough to

actually fall asleep. That's the worst type of tired. But like reading definitely always made me just for some reason just made me tired to like fall asleep yeah you just like but i i mean i did feel i felt good about my days for sure i don't know if that's just like uh yeah because i think i'm doing stuff so i feel good i think there's like a like a positive i think there's always something about like you think you do because you're doing stuff you think you're you like look at yourself as a better person just because you're doing stuff just I'm reading yeah I'm working out just because you're not laying there I feel good being a slob but then I realize I fall back into like the habit the fucking I fall back into the pits of hell

as I'll call it because I'm doing that stuff and it's like yeah maybe it's not all that great and then that's when I start like declining yeah I mean like if it was really that good when I keep doing it dude I feel like a good way of like a good metaphor for that it was like when you said like you clean your room your room's like super spotless and then like one thing will like fall on the floor It's so easy to clean that one thing up. So your room stays spotless for a long time. And then... But if like something happens to where a couple of things got messed up.

And you're just like, oh, I can pick those up in the morning. And then you fall asleep. And then before you know it, your room's just a fucking pig sty. Yeah. And then you're overwhelmed. And then you're just like, I don't feel like doing this. Yeah. It's not easy to clean it up anymore.

So you're just engulfed in this disgusting room. Yeah, it's kind of like, it's kind of like health as well. Yeah. You could easily start now and prevent from getting a disease at 40, 50, or you could get the disease at 40 or 50 and then be like, I should have. Fuck, it's like too late. And there's so much work to do to. Such a dark thought, but it's so real.

Yeah. But like, yeah. that I don't know do you think like do you think people that do get like not like super serious diseases but definitely like things where if they had just been healthier

growing up then it could have prevented it do you think they really regret how they grew up or do you think they just I mean I'm sure they don't regret it well I'm sure they regret it but I'm sure they live with it because you don't want to just live the rest of your life like regretting it so I'm sure they like

talked in themselves in some way to like ease the pain of living with it. You have to be realistic. But I mean, most diseases are at least, I don't know. I'm not a scientist or whatever. Or I'm not a doctor. Or a scientist. Or a scientist. But I think a lot of diseases, I'm sure, come from not taking care of yourself while

growing into an adult and live in life years and years of eating foods you shouldn't stuff like that not exercising all that stuff causes diseases that's why there's more diseases now than ever because how fake our food are or how fake our food is and our work is fake because our work is sitting down at a computer screen and just filing information yeah no exercise your body doesn't move you do podcasts and just sit instead of going to the gym you decide to do an hour long podcast and then you talk about how to pure concentrate coffee to where you realize you haven't stopped talking since the podcast started you're only three steps deep literally like you're really talking of today man this looks like a use

cup. It's not a used cup, I promise. Where'd you get it? Down here? Yeah, no, no, no. Not down here. In the cabinet,

I peeled it off of where all the unused cups were. This shit works. Yeah, right? I'm going to start buying this. It's good. This is like that good, good,

good concentrated coffee or caffeine person, but I don't know. I think this stuff's working. Because before I came down here, I was in my bed. I literally, I could have fell asleep. Dude, if I wouldn't have, I think if I would have gone up. I mean, it is midnight, to be fair.

Is it really? But I also woke up at 3 p.m. to be more fair. To be more fair. And the day before that, I think you were only awake six or seven hours to begin with. And then you slept for like 45. Well, that, that, that, the niacin. We could talk about that. Let's tell the niacin story.

because I didn't really even see it. Well, I have to really, all right, well, I guess by the time this comes out, it'll be up, because it's in Seth's vlog from yesterday. So I think his blog will be up probably tomorrow. He got like the peak of it. Yeah. Okay. He got it when it was like at its worst.

I have to watch that. But yeah, you'll see, if you watch that, you'll see me and Seth standing beside each other. purposely with our shirts off because of how red I was from this pill that I took. It's a legal pill called niacin, which I've looked it up before. It's like it's supposed to be good for you and like a bunch of different ways. But one of the ways was I plan on taking it and then going to the gym, which is like a beneficial way of taking it because it like opens up your pores and like, I guess, I don't know if it makes it easier to sweat.

Either way, it opens up your pores. A lot of people take it to do that and then they work out and then they'll get in a sauna and it's like a detoxing kind of thing. It like cleans the toxins out of you. It's just like a healthy thing to do. So I do that, at least I think that's what I'm about to do, is take this niacin, then go to the gym, have a nice workout, blah, blah, blah, you know, detoxify myself. And then I end up taking it.

I buy a, I just see, I, we're at, where we're you, GNC, I see niacin. So I'm just like, oh, I'll get this. Pick it up, grab it, buy a bottle. It's like 500 milligrams each pill. I don't really know. For certain medications, that's a lot. For others, it's probably not a lot at all. So I don't know.

I just see niacin. I buy the bottle. So I get home, I like look it up a little bit and they're telling, it says something about a flush. I was like, what is it? is a flush. They were like, if you take this, you might get a slight flush or you might get a flush, but don't be worried because it's only a flush. Nothing bad has ever happened from a flush. And I'm like, okay, whatever. Whatever our flush is. So I take it, I take just one, I was literally about to

take three pills because it's like if someone, if you have a headache, you take like two or three time. Yeah. You don't just take one time. I'm glad you didn't do that. Yeah. So, I'm, I just, I was like, I'm about to take three of these. But I read some dude who was like, I took one, waited a little bit, took another, waited a little bit, took another. I was like, okay, I'm just going to take one. So I just took one. And then I'm just sitting there chilling.

I kind of forget that I even like took it. And it's like 15, 20 minutes pass. And then I was just like, whoa. What? What the fuck? Like something, it felt like something just like expanded, like a heat wave expanded in my forehead. I was like, whoa, that's the flush.

And then I just, you can literally feel it, like going from your, going from your forehead, down your cheek to like down your neck to into your chest. And then suddenly it's just like throughout your whole body and your whole body is just burning. The most realistic way I can put it is it feels like you're just sunburned everywhere. And I just started getting super hot. I was like, what the fuck? I go and look in the mirror, and I'm just beat red, and it's like 10 degrees outside. My room is cold anyway.

I have my sweatshirt on and shit, but I'm just burning up. I could, like, open my door, open my window. And it was just so hot. I, like, rip off my sweatshirt. And I'm just super red, and I just feel like I look at my hands, and literally, you can probably still tell right now. Like, your pores are just, just like super open like bigger like my pores I looked at my hand and it just look like every like just

imagine every little every little hole that a hair grows out of is expanded and it looks it just looked like my skin was like opening with holes everywhere because that's how like open my pores were because it like rushes blood to your pores or whatever and then I go to Mike's room and I was like, do I look red? He was like, yeah, what the fuck? And I was just like, dude, and I like explain the whole thing. Then I'm sitting there and I'm just like looking at my pores. And I'm like, does it look like my pores are just super open?

He's like, what the fuck is this? And it was just crazy. So. And then I was just beat red for like an hour. And I kept getting these weird sensations. Sometimes I would feel bad. sometimes I went through like 10 minutes of feeling like my entire body was getting massaged on the inside. I was like, this is the shit.

I was like, I'm going to take this every day because I was like feeling so good. But then it like that wore off quick. And then I found myself in the shower for like 20 minutes. Like just like. Not like sick, but like really achy. Almost like you're about to get the flu. But. Okay.

You don't have really any symptoms besides like achy and tired. Drowsy. Yeah. And I was just sitting in the shower with it with it like almost as hot as it can go and just like sitting there in the steam hoping it. Oh, because at that time I started getting freezing. I was freezing by that time. What? It went from hot to like super cold.

That's why I got in the shower. From hot to red to poury to still just red cold as shit and red. Red cold as shit. So I was just sitting in this shower. trying to just like sweat it out in the steam and just like drinking water and I was just like how is this pill legal like if I took I don't know what would I happen if I took three of those so basically you looked it up later you were supposed to take like half a pill or a four of a pill yeah I looked it up all right so I took 500 milligrams and I looked it up later and everyone was like for your first time

taking it you should take 50 to 100 milligrams so one fifth of a pill you Yeah, so one fifth of what I took, possibly one tenth of what I took is what you're actually supposed to start out with. So I just like, I went through. Insane. Yeah. Yeah. When you told me you took, you were like, yeah, apparently you're supposed to take 100 and I took 500. I was like, why would you do that?

But I didn't realize 500 was one pill. And so it's just natural just to take one pill. That's how much. It's, that's crazy. because like it's like how much could if you take every say you go into a gnc you buy every single pill bottle possible and you laid each out each just one pill i bet nothing affects you more than the nicer yeah that's like that's just i didn't yeah i didn't know like a legal pill could do that like you could probably take a say like a morning after pill as a guy and it'd probably affect you less. Or like just weird shit I don't know What the fuck?

Say you took a pregnancy pill as a guy Like that would probably affect you less than this shit Like I don't know what could affect you more For just taking one of those bills Just one tiny pill Or why they're such a large dose Yeah right Why did you see any other bottles while you were there

Or like smaller? I'm sure there was I just wasn't paying attention I just saw him as like Oh I'll try this out That's crazy I honestly think another fun fact is that was the first time I'd ever been in a GNC was yesterday. Really?

Yeah. So I was just like, well, I worked at Walgreens, so I knew what a lot of the stuff was because there's like vitamins and stuff everywhere in Walgreens. But there was a lot of stuff that I'd never seen before. There was like hangover pill. You see that? Like you're supposed to take it. I think we have some of that stuff here. Here?

It's not a, I think it's like a powder you put in the water. Huh. but so then you were talking about everything because you went up you went and bought like stuff that you probably don't even need but but then uh you were like talking to the lady and then she said yeah we actually have this one like natural she was a nursing student she had this like natural she seems smart focus yeah she knew what she was doing she's she'd been working at gnc for like five years what she said oh really yeah and then she like she she quit for a little while to focus more on nursing school

and then now she only works weekends. So that's what she knew what she was talking about. She was like, yeah, there's like this one natural herbal pill that me and my college roommates take like whenever we're studying for big finals. And I was like, I would like one of those. So I got one of those. Big Adderall.

Yeah. But so anyway, I took that yesterday. And I mean, I felt fine. Did you feel anything? Yeah, I mean, I felt like... I want to take one. Yeah, I mean, I'll give you one. But I felt like, I mean, I took one right before the podcast,

and I feel like I've been pretty talkative. Yeah. And I have a really, I'm really bad about focusing. Did you? Because she told us about one stuff, and she was like, eh, it's pretty much, it's caffeine. Yeah, she said this is different than just like a caffeine pill. And I've taken a caffeine pill before,

and it's literally just like chugging a coffee pill before. It's literally just like chugging a cup of coffee. It's not like anything else. But this, it feels like I can like focus on what I want to say next. That was ironic because I couldn't think of what I want to say. I feel like I can really just focus on what I want to say next. But yeah, I mean, it's, I don't know. It's always been kind of weird like messing in that area, the caffeine pill.

the mental awareness. I don't know if that's what I was saying about this. I don't know if I found my next addiction. But like look how much I've drank. Your concentrated coffee addiction. Yeah. I mean, the only thing with that,

it could get you really jittery. Luckily, we just ate steaks and stuff. So you probably are good. Well, I also, because I do get really jittery with coffee, but that's why I've only drank that much.

I haven't drank a lot of money either, but we also been talking. Wait, did you have this exact one? No, I have a different one. I had like a canned one. I just keep buying different coffees.

I'm not like much of a caffeine person, but I don't know. I'll have to keep trying because it affects me differently, different days. Yeah. Caffeine doesn't really affect me, like, growing up drinking, like, like, you had your friends that would, were not allowed to have Mountain Dew because they would go wild and their parents would freak out. I was never that kid. It's weird. I was, I, I'd like, drank water my whole life. What?

Yeah. I was never like a big soda guy. Never like a big. I just always, because as a kid I was forced to drink water. Okay. Even for like dinner, we weren't allowed soda, always water. Yeah. Maybe like a cup of soda with lunch or something.

But even that was rare. And then, I don't know, after that, I kind of just, it was either I would always stay that way or just turn completely. opposite. Just drink nothing. Like I did in other ways. Trash. Because I went from not, I was never allowed inside until I got dark out.

And then even when it got dark, I couldn't play video. Like I had to like study or do homework or like watch TV or something. I couldn't play video games for some reason. Yeah. I was, I was raised the same way. So it's like whenever my mom and stepdad got divorced, it was nonstop video games. just because how much I loved it. Right.

But with the water, it just always stayed that way. I just always, it's either water or alcohol, really. Those are the two things you've trained. When you were a little kid, it was either water or alcohol. As a kid, I don't think I drank anything else. I mean, maybe Gatorade or something. I always said that soccer ruined my taste for water. Really?

I played soccer for so long. It's so good. No, water is... When you play sports? No, exactly. And you get to the break? Dude, that is why it ruined it. It's because whenever you would run for 45 minutes straight and then finally your coach would give you a water break, you go down and you just...

Oh, my God. When you took that sip of water, it literally felt like... You could, like, feel it run down your body and just, like, cleanse you of all the suffering that you've been going through. And it's like, that feeling of drinking water, you can't get when you sit down. and add a Mago and drink the water out of the glass. It doesn't feel the same. It feels like you're drinking nothing. Like in that point, that's where I'm like, okay, I can get a Coke now.

Or I can get like a sweet tea. Like sweet tea was a big thing in North Carolina. But as far as like water, I feel like it's a lot. I have to like force myself to drink water when I'm just regularly drinking because it doesn't taste the same as it did growing up playing sports. Dude, when I played football You played football? I played football from like

What position were you? I played running back and outside linebacker I was a, I'm not gonna lie, I was pretty good. Dude, I was pretty good too. Like I was, I was good enough to where when I decided to stop playing it was like, how old was I? Let's see.

It was probably like, I don't know, maybe it was like seventh grade to eighth grade I stopped playing. And I was good enough to where the coach for the, because I was going to move up in like an age group or whatever. Right. And the coach and the next, like, because I was on the Browns. And there's like the Browns, I think like the little team, then like the, I don't even. even know how to like the littlest team the the medium team and then like the the older yeah like different age groups okay it's like pop Warner for every team huh is this like pop Warner do you know pop order is like like like just regular county yeah okay yeah it was like

fucking the coach like the next coach up like called my house to like try to convince me to play what because he like think he like thought i had like had like a future in it. Like, not like a, not like he was like, this kid's going to be in the NFL. Just like he thought I was really good. Yeah.

And you just wanted me to continue playing. And then he saw, he, like, tried to convince me to play baseball. The same coach? He literally tried to convince me to play baseball because I had long arms. And he was like,

you could be a deadly pitcher. What? Yeah. I'm just like, I'm like, I'm like, I've, I played T-ball, but I don't think I've ever, like, thrown a baseball, really.

But, like, in T-ball, sure, but baseball was never my thing. Yeah. But, yeah, I was pretty good at football. What are we talking about? I don't know. Sorry, I asked what position you played, and then it just went downhill from there. But when you played football, we were talking about water. Oh, yeah.

The water. Clutched. Fucking, yeah, that break. That's how I remember it. For some reason, I guess, just because I'm in a fucking helmet outside. Yeah. You peel off the helmet and you just drink the water.

Dude, I remember because my stepdad would sit there with like the water jug. Like all the kids' parents would like be kind of at the practice with like water jugs or something. Or I don't know. Maybe I just remember having a fucking water jug. Okay. But I'd run over there and just drink it with it just still has ice in it and shit. Or like a thermist that being like, yes, dude. Dude, yes.

And it was just so good. Like, it's so good to where you're just, you chug it when you know you're not supposed to. Because then you go out and just get a cramp. And when you're running, you can hear it just sloshing in your stomach. Yeah, you're supposed to sit. It's so good. Yeah, and that's a feeling that you never get when you sit down to TGI Fridays with a salad in front of you and you're supposed to drink the water. It's just like, I don't want that.

I don't want that disgusting nothing. I drink so much water to. I'm like addicted to water to where I don't know how people like I remember I saw you eating the pizza earlier without a drink and it bugged me just because it's like I can't eat anything without a drink well I can't eat pizza without drinking soda so I knew that I would rather just not drink anything because I can't I can't drink water after I eat pizza why because I've always had do you have certain drinks that you get at certain places. I mean, pizza and like soda is definitely one of my things.

Exactly. But it's not that bad of a thing to where it's like I need a soda if I'm going to eat the pizza. Yeah. I'm just like, if I'm going to have pizza, I don't like this is bad enough. I mean, I'd rather drink nothing than drink water with pizza. See, I can't agree there. I'd rather have the pizza.

I mean, and there are other places where I. Well, what did you, you ate like the turkey burger. right? Yeah. And also, with no drink. With no drink. No, I had a water bottle with it.

Really? But I ate the entire turkey burger and then took like two minutes and then drink the water. Because if I ever have a burger, it's always with a soda. It has been that way my entire life. Yeah, but it's a turkey burger. It's not steak. Yeah, it still tastes like I don't have a sense of smell. Oh.

I guess the texture. Yeah, it all just tastes the same. but and it's it's like that like every time i go to chick fillet i have to get a soda every time i go to um panda i have to get a soda and and so like then you have to start like fixing it to make it a little better so i started going to panda and i would get like a gatorade and so then i got a gatorade every single time to like fix that habit but i mean gatorades aren't that much better it's i I know, but it's... Well, at least calorie-wise, but...

As far as, like, the acidic? Yeah, because... I mean, because then I would go to Chick-Clai. The soda has, like, high-fructose corn syrup and probably disease-causing chemicals. I mean, I would go to Chick-fil-A, and then I would switch it from a soda to sweet tea, which is not that much better either, but it's still... I just... It's less guilty, I guess.

I feel that's guilty. I'm drinking a sweet. I see, I can't even eat anything without, my point is I can't eat without drinking something. Like, I don't know, I, like,

can't, like, pause, swallow. You, like, have to have something to wash it down? Yeah.

I don't know how people, because my, I guess, ex-stepbrother, used to, um, always eat his meals without taking a drink, and then drink his drink.

And it would always, I'm not just like, because he, he said he enjoyed the drink that much more when he had, when he was just thirsty as fuck at the end of his meal. That makes, that might be the meta. Yeah,

it makes, it makes sense, but it just like, it always just bugged me. That makes sense. Because I just, I can't do it. He also ate his bologna sandwiches.

He also ate his bologna sandwiches. He also ate his bologna. sandwiches, he would always, or any kind of sandwich, he would just eat the outsides first, like a circle. And he would like circle around the bologna sandwich, so it just got small in the middle and then. And what's crazy as I started copying him. What?

Because I've realized that is the meta. To eat the crust of a sandwich? Yeah, eat the crust first. And like just circle. And then you're just, yeah, circling around. I would think you were weird. I'm not going to lie here. weird.

I don't really judge people, but if I saw someone circularly eating there. Circle Sam. Circle Sam. Circle Sand. You don't even Circle Sam. You are king. I'm king circle Sam. Your ex-stepbrother is king circle Sam.

Do which. All right. 56 minutes. Oh, shit, really? Yeah, we've been going. It's the coffee talking. That's what it is. I've blacked out.

I've coffee. I've blacked. coffee now. But yeah, this podcast was originally created just because Nick has a lot of emotional tweets and people are trying to directly relate on-screen camera Nick with his emotional tweets, Nick, and very few people know the line in between. And so I feel like we created, we were just sitting, we were sitting in the Jeep just talking one day about like the atmosphere and the world and stuff.

Well, yeah, we always talk about how it's like our best moments. When there's a camera not on. Yeah. Yeah. Or it's like when there's a camera not on. Yeah. We were like, we need a vision that just vision's vision. Yeah.

We need like a fly on the wall that we don't know is there. And we'll just like capture everything. Yeah. And then one day I was listening to Joe Rogan and I was like. Especially with some of the shit we talk about. We're just like we need like, well, just talk about something so weird. We'll be like, we need a podcast. We do need a podcast.

Yeah, and that was why we do need a podcast because people are like, oh, Hitch is the guy that wears weird clothes and dabs and videos. Nick is the guy that tweets about how he's going to change his life and then he eats pizza on Sunday, but they don't get the reasoning for why we get motivated, why we fall off and what we talk about to mentally wake up every day. It's actually, I think it's pretty interesting. Yeah, it'll probably get interesting. I'm sure we'll talk about things.

the least throughout the, I guess, future of this podcast that is going to get, you know, I feel like a lot of people are going to be like, what the hell are these guys talking about? Also, I feel like we should have guests on as well. Yeah. Everyone's. What's funny is Seth was, Seth was like out or what I say. Seth was like, Jim. I was like, can't do in a podcast. He was like, let me on. I was like, no. And he was like, and he got so sad. And I was like, I'm just kidding. But actually, I don't think so. Just because I knew this was the setup. Like, we're not going to go get another mic and, like, randomly try figuring this stuff out again. But at least not for, like, the first pot. I feel like there are some people that can get deep into this. Or, I don't think we got super deep. Maybe with, like, the law of attraction stuff.

But I feel like this was pretty surface level for what we will be talking about in the future. Oh, no. It'll get weird. Just Nick and I will sit there and talk about space and religion. different types of things, which I'm down to talk about in future episodes. Also, this will be less, what's the word?

Like a sponsor appropriate? It'll be more. More of just like raw. Yeah, more raw. It's not going to be, it's not the Hitch and Maniac podcast. It's going to be, it's like the Nick and Davis and Marcus

if he's sitting here or Seth. like use each other's real names yeah yeah this would be good actually if we could would the guests sitting here be good yeah i think that would be kind of dope but we would just have to move the just imagine how like how people will look at us we consider them guests on our podcast and it's just me and you sitting here like questioning them putting them on the spot have you ever been a guest on a podcast besides the optic podcast because the opta podcast is easy I don't think. Dude, I went on PCA.

Have you ever heard of PKK? Painkiller already? It's like FPS. I think I've like heard of it when you were on it or something. Yeah, it's like FPS Russia. What is, or FPS Kyle, what is your favorite tag? And it's like I honestly had never really watched it. I had only seen like different, like different moments of it, different clips of it.

Like I know I knew Ashley had been on it a few times. And so I was like, oh, I could do PGA. It's not a big deal. Do the optic podcast every once in a while. I used to be on the stick. like I know how to I know how to talk and then I didn't realize it was a four hour podcast and they just they dude when I say they have to be on that like times 50 because those fools do not stop talking for four hours straight and people people would be like Hitch you didn't really say much on that podcast I'm like because I can't keep up like I couldn't keep up with them they would talk about dude they would talk about like different video games that they were playing and like different and then they would immediately go to like different current events that were going to on and they each had like 16 different ideas and opinions. Did they have like written down?

Kind of but they would we were in a Skype call as well and so if somebody didn't really have anything to chime in they'd be like hey on to the next one and then like the guy who runs the show would be like you guys can talk about this and so I had nothing really to say I don't know if I could be a part of something like that yeah I mean unless maybe say this got fucking huge or something it's like then maybe I'll like get into and we start having like guests we don't really know we're not like friends with or whatever then maybe it'd be appropriate but like there's a reason I don't really do interviews or either bray podcast or yeah I'm the bryson tiller of e sports I'll do interviews all right

are we going to make it like an hour long thing every time I guess whatever you want to do I don't care hours it'll probably be an hour yeah I mean hours like the I don't want to do four hours. Hours like the, I guess the, I don't know. We'll see. We'll see. But I guess that's going to do it for this one. Comments and suggestions down in the comments, please.

It's going to be on your, my channel, your channel. We'll figure it out. My channel, my channel. And so yeah, tell us what you want us to add, what you want us to talk about. Should we add? I think eventually Give us ideas. How long do you want the pod? Well, no, you're a fly on the wall. No ideas from you.

How long would you like? Yeah, we're going to We'll figure it out. We'll just feel it out each episode. But that is going to do it, guys. Thank you so much for watching the Hum, Drum, what the episode one. Thank you for watching episode one. Thank you for watching episode one. That's going to do it. And we'll see you next time. Do we have outro music?
