But We Didn't Listen | The Flycast Ep. 160

You think maybe you should dabble in like celibacy for a little bit? I want to say I kind of have, but I haven't. But like mentally celibate. So where I'm not like, what's that mean? It means I'm like, just because I get a nut doesn't mean like those, the feelings were there. And like, so like mentally I love celibate.

Is that not a thing? Welcome back to another episode of the fly. Guys episode who gives? Actually, at this point, I wonder what we're at. Yeah, I don't know. I think we're closing in on 200. Yeah, I think we're closing in. What are we doing for 200? Another 10-hour pod?

Another one? Yeah, yeah, just like the episode 100. That actually, it would be interesting to do. Like, it sounds, I wonder how it would be received. Someone's sitting there watching. Well, I wonder if one person would just like listen through it for 10 hours straight.

I don't know about it. People would just start breaking it down. Yeah, people would come back, come back to it. I wonder, see, whenever we talked about that, though, were we going to get gas? Where are we going to have, like, some people? Or do we just bang it out ourselves and then just come up with, like, we have, like, different topics. Or not topics, but, like, we'll have random, like, we can do a tier list, like, hottest dude in e-sports. And then we can do a bed.

album of something, something. You want to know what's funny? Most, guess the... Well, I wish there was just like a chart or something. Every year in the past 10 years, guess who's been the number one streaming artist, streaming rapper on Spotify? Every year.

Drake. Yeah. Oh, shit, that's crazy. I saw some video. And someone was like, someone said like 20, 20, 25, Drake, of course. 2024, they're like, Kendrick. No.

Drake, 23, 22. Every fucking year for the past 10 years, he's been the number one, number one streamed artists. And then someone in the comments just like, Drake makes trash ad music with like the like dying rose emoji. I'm just like, who are you?

Like I can get, like what do you mean trash ass? That's like me saying, Prince made trash ass music. Michael Jackson makes trash ass music. Chris Brown makes trash ass music. Like, you can't just, You can say I don't like Drake or what was it the other thing? I think the only thing about, I don't know why we're talking about Drake already, but the, the, the, the only thing that the only, the only thing about Drake, the only, like, criticism that I don't understand is everyone, a lot of people say Drake has been making the same song, the same style of music for the last five years.

but as popular of an opinion as that is, it is also just as popular that Drake steals styles from other people. So in my opinion, how is it possible that you can steal other cultures styles? You can steal this, steal that, and put it out all at the same time. But also, all your music sounds the same.

It just doesn't. It doesn't make sense. And then he doesn't write his music. Yeah, but I don't know. But I don't know if he, I don't know if he writes it or not. I know he writes a lot. I mean, I don't know if fucking anyone writes it. Obviously, no one knows anything.

But he writes a lot of his music. But it's just people just don't understand the, like, do you think Kendrick sits there and comes up with every single word that's in every single song? No, he's like in this studio. know his friend will say this the engineer will say this the producer will say right here at this part we need like something like this just to go like this and he'll hum some and then like it's like i can't imagine being a musician and like not wanting to collaborate like yeah i think that's the fun that and like getting like mad hos and shit like yeah mad hos and shit would be fun yeah that would be fun i mean not for me not for me i'm saying that that lifestyle would probably be interesting

But but just like that not fun no no not fun that would not be fun for me But the the collaborative effort like the collaborative part of music has to be the fun part like being in a being in a Studio like there's that a that clip of Drake and Future and they apparently just got done an ESCO is that a producer esko? Esco. DJ Esco. Um. Eskimo City or something like that.

They're, um, the three of them are in the studio and like, they're like, turn. It's a digital. Digital. Yeah. I did. I just got a digital dash. And like, how fun would that be? How fun.

Apparently like, apparently Future and Drake just locked themselves in a. For a week. In a studio for a week and just banged out a mixtape. I think it was Metro Boomin. Esco Future and Drake. And they just banged it out for. That's insane. And it was Godlike.

What was it? What a time to be alive? It was Godlight. What a time to be alive. Diamonds on me dancing. Dude, futures, I don't, I'm not even a huge future fan. But Futures track on that song called Jersey, on that tape called Jersey is so good.

I gotta hear it again. It is. Future has some, future's good as fuck too, bro. And what's crazy is Futures 40. I mean, first off, peep the fit. Ooh, coming from a 40-year-old. I'm bringing back 09 with this. This is something I would have wore in like high school.

Like if I had one good outfit, it would have been this. Yeah. Look at the fit. Oh, well, you're kind of ruined it when doing that. Because you're kind of ruin it with the... But I walked in the bathroom. I walked in the bathroom. I saw James.

That fits pretty. That's not. That's a nice fit, like, for sure. I walked in the bathroom and saw James. And I said, I'm bringing 09 back with this fit. And he said something. I was like, I don't know if I'm really like it. He was like, yeah, I don't.

And I was just like, he was like, I don't know. I feel like it just doesn't fit your. I was like, age range. He was like, yeah. And I think it looks fine. I think it. For audio, for audio listeners, he's got a past. Klein jeans, brand new all white forces in a Ralph Lauren t-shirt.

It's like a pastel purple Ralph Lauren T-shirt. shirt. But this is such a good back in the day. Very faded, very faded, light blue jeans. They fit. Very snug. A little skinny gene. I wish they were a little bigger.

I was hoping as I, like, maybe I was just going to stop washing them. This is the song. Maybe as I, uh. Oh, okay. I forget how he goes on this, though. First thing I'm married to money. Then I fell out of the journey. First of I'm married to money.

Extendo, extendo, extendo. The clip got a roll like a 30. Like, is he in, or they just, like, is he by him, not by himself in there, but just in there thinking of, like, I got married to money. No, no, no, no. It's no, it's not. Like, who thinks to that? I would just be, like, trying to think of bars.

That's why I think of, like, patterns and rhythms and different flows and. Like, reference tracks are, like, they're so, they're so, they're so cool. Like, just the fact that. it's a side of music that's what Drake got shit for yeah but like yeah I was one and through the six with my woes

that's what I can't even listen to the uh uh to what's the song that really got leaked like literally I thought it was that one um no but he wrote

he wrote like the he's talked about know yourself that's the name of song right know yourself I think so yeah he was like he was like he was like yeah I'd collaborate but the whole verse is me

but like I collaborated with what is his name Quentin Miller but the other song I came was 10 bands 20 bands fuck it man it's the whole song it's the whole song was that Quentin Miller's reference track out there's certain songs where I'm not even like mad about

me neither me neither I'm not mad about it I don't think of the fuck if he wrote I don't know I'm trying to think of some like lullaby song he sings what about like like but there's got to be certain songs where I would be mad if it's like.

Like fire and desire came on yesterday. Yeah. I don't care if he wrote fire or desire. Yeah. He wrote a, what is it work for Rihanna, I think? Work, where, where, where, right. He wrote work. Is he on the fucking?

Yeah, he's on that song. Yeah. I didn't know he wrote it. I think he wrote that song. I mean, it was probably like other writers and stuff as well. But like, I don't know, I mean, I don't know how how his R&B bag is. Like, obviously he's an R&B bag.

be artist as well but but like he better have wrote it's like oh nine in your basement I wouldn't love with Naby see I think he I love it but it fell through

because I wasn't ready I mean it's too personal not to write not to have someone else write it right better of what what artists would what artists would break your heart if you found out that they didn't write like if they didn't write shit

yeah for me it would be for me it would be a little wayne well he doesn't write shit it's just all off the top of this fucking but like every once in a while when I hear like little way and be like yeah like I don't

I don't remember any of my raps because I've written so many I can believe that yeah I can believe it's also like just on drugs for 30 40 years it's like Ozzy I was born RIP RIP I saw some people in the comments arguing about that as well about what people

saying like RIP Ozzy Osbourne and then you got someone replying with all the bad shit he did he beat his wife he fucking doesn't talk to two of his older kids and something something something I think it was like a some wrestler oh talk shit about like Birmingham

wait and then like the whole stadium no that's just some random like female wrestler oh like talking shit about Birmingham and then brought up Ozzy Osbourne's death or something and everyone was just booing in the comments we're destroying her. RIP, Ozzy, man, RIP, Ozzy.

RIP. Yeah, if Lil Wayne didn't write his lyrics, which, I mean, you can just tell because it's, you can just tell when it's Lil Wayne. Yeah. I've also seen people say, Lil Wayne writes for Drake. I'm just like, no, he doesn't,

some shit just doesn't. Drake might write for Lil Wayne. Some shit just doesn't add up with Wayne sometimes, though. Like, you ever, ever seen that clip of he he thought he said he didn't know who 21 savage was uh he thought 21 savage was a group of 21 rappers he was like i thought it was a new wu tank but the thing is like i believe that yeah but how do you not know who 21 savage is but you have like the most intricate like the most intricate like up-to-date uh like references in your songs

you know what i mean yeah like because he was so good in the early 2000 early 2000's late what is it like late 90s right is that when hot boys was yeah and and like and that shit is just incredible and then I don't know but I don't know I don't know what I'm trying to say but

Wayne is like my favorite rapper ever so if I found out that he didn't or at least like a lot of his no he I mean he definitely he just has too much it's too much fucking music there's a there's a clip I was watching a Math Hoffa's podcast like a couple years ago. And you know who Mickey Fax is?

Yeah. He would write. He was talking about how he was, has, he's ghost written for people. And they were like, you can't say it. And he was like, no, I could never say it. He was like, it would literally break people's heart if they found out who I've written for. And when he said that, it was, it was somebody.

I don't know if it was Mickey Faxx that said it. but it was somebody said it and and I was like damn what would really who would break who who who would it be that would break my heart if I see but he'll say that knowing it was just like yeah they put out this album and he wrote like one verse for this song and then like a hook the hook for this song with like a few bars and like maybe a bridge and then he'll say like I wrote for Drake or I wrote I wrote for Drake on I wrote for Drake on his album views or something and then people like, oh my God, I fucking do it. It's not like, it's not like, I mean. It's not like you're sitting there writing the whole fucking album. I wonder how often

I wonder how often that happened. Well, that one song that Drake put out is literally Yaddy gave it to him. But that's a situation. What song is that? That's crazy. Yaddy giving a song to Drake. Jumbo Tron shit pop.

Jumpo chan it probably some ratchet shit is that on like CLB or something no it was on all this new shit I really don't have like memorized you can tell you can tell it's Yachty though I don't think he's trying to hide it and hold on let me jumbo tron jumbo tron jumbo tron jumpotron jumpotron shit popping how many people have clicked off so far a lot oh geez today man we don't have a guess hands. The beat is crazy, though. This part? If I tell this bitch, she's gonna moped it.

Unless it's unladed. I mean, the shit's still so hard. But like just the whole song. From what I've heard, it's just the whole. I don't care either. Don't care. I don't care either. Someone does.

I know. But then there's rappers like Jadicus who are like, You ain't a rapper. I mean, that's a horrible Jada kiss. It wasn't that bad. You ain't a real rapper. If you ain't writing all your life.

lyrics. That's not bad. That's not bad. Like he said some, like, can we even like put him in the category if he hasn't wrote every bar? But then it's like, Jadicus, I've listened to your music and we can tell you write every bar. And that's why it's like, like, you make, Jadikis is one of my favorites. I'll say Jadikis is fire. Jadikis is fire. And he's, he's dope as fuck. But it's like, there's a reason why Drake is at where Drake's at. Jadicus has the perfect rat voice I think it was Kanye who said like

Oh I forget what question he asked Um But it was like if he could have like anyone's voice Or like who's the most Who has the best rapper voice or something like that And he was like Jadikas Yeah Like he if he could he could switch voices

He would switch voices with Jadicus And just be a fucking rapper But uh I don't know Yeah Before before more people click off what else is going on what else is going on in the world? I beat I beat Eldon Ring solo for the first time so now we could talk about it as well and I beat the DLC as well No no summons no magic what no someone's no magic bro

When you do it lock the fuck in Every boss is Melania style every way bro bro I'm telling you At least two of them are. Every, I will say. Harder then? Yeah, two of them are harder than... It's just figuring it out, though. Dude.

I think if I went back in fault Millennia, I'd win again. Yeah, I mean, for sure. You definitely would. It's just learning 300 deaths to, like, learn the boss, you know? Dude. I, I beat Melania in, like, three hours. I beat... I beat Messmer, who was, like, a DLC boss.

He took... I took three hours to beat him. The final boss took me eight hours Damn Eight hours So they made sure in the DLC To make this fucking boss hard as shit Dude it is unlike the last one

And the thing is is there's already people typing right now And they're gonna have to either delete their comment Or to hit a bunch of backspaces But they nerved the DLC final boss That like Fromsoft did Because when they first came out he was like damn near impossible But

And so People are going to brag about the fact that they beat it. You're beating them post-hirt. It doesn't fucking matter. That boss is unreal. Like, dude, the second... I got to the point where I could have beat the first phase, like, with my eyes closed. I could have beat it with my eyes closed.

But the second phase was brutal. Really? Bro, every boss in the DLC kills you in two to three hits. Every boss. Did you have to get naked? Yeah, I got naked for every boss. Really? Yeah.

Like, I hate that that's... the wave though. That should not be the wave. The thing with Elder Ring is you play it how you want to. You can tank. You can be a tank. I'm not beating millennia without being naked. Like I have to bait it out and run away.

I guess I could have figured it out. You could beat her with a, you could beat her with a sword or a shield. You could beat her with a tanky armor and just tank her shots and then clubber. Like there's way you can beat her with bow and arrows. You can beat her with summons and magic. Like there's so many ways to play. But to beat her like a man. I agree with you.

Just not have like a cheesy something. I feel like it just turned into everyone like beating them with speed. Yeah. Yeah. Like Ron, fucking Kai, me.

What do you mean beating? Like just no armor. Like I feel like armor should be, like you shouldn't, I just don't like the fact that obviously you can beat them with armor. But it's like, it shouldn't be.

easier without armor I guess. Yeah. It's definitely if that's how you want to play if you want to dodge every move I think that's the fun part. I think that's the fun part. I don't know what else to do. Well some people play like they make themselves a tank

and like you can eat a move and trade it and like tank through it or you run up and you uh Jev I was watching Jev's videos and he plays like run running like jump R-2ing and like tries to stagger everyone and like he plays for the stagger the most and whereas like you were playing for the bleed a lot but you would also play for

stagger I was using frost yeah I knew like one there's a you just learn the all right if they do this move I can get a stagger off bro I now I got to watch you as I was playing it I just I literally stopped and I was just like like this is seven hours in And I'm just like, ah. And I was like, I don't know. I don't know.

All on stream. I was like, I don't know if, I don't know if Nick will ever do the DLC, but if he does, I can't fucking wait to watch. Worst comes to the worst. It sounds like a bad thing.

But if worse comes to worse, I'll do it in here or something. That's like a good option. Yeah. I thought you were to say in your apartment. Well, I just don't want to, I just,

it would be a marathon. I wouldn't just play it just to play. just to play it like in order for me to like be into it and i think for the chat to be i would want to do it exactly like i did last time um i don't know if i don't know what you guys charge now that you're done doing it if we if we find a sponsor we'll do it yeah if we can get a sponsor to like you know pay for the production we'll we'll do it again yeah i mean i'm i'm 100% down we'll go back to the same every and b you know i'll switch it up i mean it did work out i would like one with the pool though i think that'd be yeah that'd be nice in the morning

or like some kind of fucking pool sub goal I want to see if chewy we get in the pool it'd be a lot more expensive though but yeah if I do it again I definitely want to do some another marathon style

I just don't see myself getting into it unless I'm unless it's just the nonstop because that gets the having the people will if like if I'm just doing especially the way I stream now

it's like skip days skip a week but I mean obviously if I start started doing the DLC, I'd try to make it like an everyday thing, but some days I might only feel like doing four hours. And that's just like, and then next day may be six, next day maybe eight, and then another four hour. And then I can't play this day or something like that. Like it'd be, it kind of makes the chat, like with my marathon, it was like people knew I was live and like they

knew they go to Twitch, I'm going to be live. Right. And like, and I'm going to at least if it's by like noon, I'm going to probably be sitting there at least talking, getting ready. So it just makes it so much more interactive and it brings everyone along for the entire story instead of like random people missing random shit. I don't know, man. That was just so fun the way I did it.

I mean, it couldn't have happened more perfectly too. And I went into it like, God, fucking the event. What was it? Oh, like, EWC. EWC? Yeah, yeah. East Sports World Cup was going on and I was like fuck

I was like everyone's gonna be watching that but it was the time zone sort of worked out to where by 4 5, 6 p.m. or something they ended their watch party was ending their stream and raiding me and everything just fucking worked out So I don't know if it'd go as well

as last time but I mean even with no raids or no anything it's it's gonna go well but yeah that's definitely my type of thing is to do some sort of marathon i was almost thinking like every month i should try to figure something out like if i can just get at least if i can just get a sponsor to like pay for the Airbnb for a week yeah like two thousand bucks or something yeah and i feel like that's got to be possible yeah i'm sure hopefully i mean with what the amount of like viewership you were getting yeah like yeah what a just screenshot

all the all the viewers right after the raids 10 000 12 k max today 10 k the 10 k then next day. This is his usual viewership. Dude. So when he does these, but I was almost thinking like, I'm just going to be like a marathon show. Like me and APG are going to do like a Halo campaign one.

Yeah. Probably here, beginning of September. That's just going to be a lot of fun. Yeah. All the Master Chiefs? Halo, Halo 1, Halo 2, Halo 3,

Halo Reach. Yeah. It's probably a good place to stop. So that should be fun. Yeah. And come on with some sort of subgoals and stuff. Like legendary? I think we might do it here.

Yeah. Legend. people are saying like skull i don't even really know what skulls on means i think it makes it harder or something but yeah that skulls on i've heard that that's the thing um wasn't there something that had never been done before until a until uh moist critical like put out a bounty basically like speed runners really for halo yeah speed runners all stop speed running and i think it's called all skulls on all skulls on let me let me let me let me let me look it up what matt Craig isn't is not here right now so we're gonna I'm gonna try to look it at

myself but it uh moist critical I just piece hello halo two challenge uh the 20,000 dollar lasso is what it's called um one of huge factors the uses of skulls which are gameplay modifiers some of these are just silly little additions making the grunts head explode with confetti some of them make the game unreasonably difficult and when you combine them all together it's virtually impossible um yeah so okay so he said you moist critical announced that he would give someone five thousand dollars if they could live stream themselves beating halo two on legendary difficulty with all skulls on except the envy skull without dying.

Without dying. By July, no one had accomplished this, so he upped the bounty to $20,000. After 40 days, the streamer Jervalin pulled it off, and it took under seven hours, and he never died and he beat it. Damn. All skulls on.

That must be so... I kind of want to watch something like that. It's got to be so, like, tactical and fucking... Yeah. Because in, like, last... legendary you can just die you'll just die so like little grunts will be just hit you with like a one-shot plasma pistol and just they just unload a fucking needler needler's into yeah like three of the needles will hit but you're dead yeah that

shit is probably without dying yeah that that makes sense of why it was so hard yeah me and APG you will definitely be dying but y'all should have a death count yeah I don't know we'll try to get all that that's just gonna be that that's that's gonna be fun to watch that Craig's been asking us about I think he'll Brad was thinking about doing it at his place but I don't know how realistic that would be to like get a whole setup over there and yeah it's like Matt Craig would probably

someone someone would have to help us out yeah everything set up so yeah yeah might have to do it here uh I don't know but I really did enjoy doing like marathon type of shit's a lot of fun man it's a I mean yeah I'm I'm fucking burnt right now I'm this was a little intense

um but I'm also burnt we also had a lot of shit going on while we're doing this like in the summer marathon but we just hit nine out of ten games we've been doing it we've been George Blake George and I have been streaming for almost 400 hours straight you have 5K subs

almost at 5K yeah something like that which is nice so what game do you have left Apex Legends that's the last game and that to get diamond get diamond oh that should be easy then yeah it shouldn't be It shouldn't be too bad.

397 hours. God, damn. So, y'all should have rented an Airbnb. Yeah, right. I would have killed them. I can't. Is that what Atlas thought about me? I want to know what...

No, no, no, no. What did Atlas? Maybe I don't want to know. I was going to say, what did Atlas say? Because I know y'all probably maybe talked about a little bit, but... Not being there the whole time and... He was... He was fine.

I mean, Atlas is a little ball of stress at all times. Oh. But like we were we just wanted the event like we wanted it to go smoothly right so that we knew that we could do it And it when it went smoothly then he was able to relax and he was like dude he he was he just thought it was fun and any of to hang out with chewy a lot Yeah, yeah he was like that was his favorite part yeah he thought it was a lot of fun yeah from from my understanding why just know from my people like whenever the stream turns on It's not that I like turn into a different person, but I'm so much louder. And I'm just imagining him sitting there having to listen to me being so fucking loud like 16 hours a day. They were testing the phasmophobia set up yesterday.

And James was like, yeah, well, like when you're talking and he was talking in the mic like this, he was like, I can like hear the other people. Like I'm saying true, true like, because true was testing it too. True. Can you? And I was like, you know Knicks on this, right? like you're talking you're talking at level four Nick's gonna be talking at level 68 I was like and then I went

this is what it's gonna be like fuck and then I did that and all of them turned and looked at me and I was like that's what it's gonna be like even when we started James had to walk over like five minutes later was like like take the mic away from your fucking mouth and he pointed at me but I was like

yo guys he wants this all to like take the put the mic away from my But I mean, a game like that, phasmophobia. How did that go? I wasn't, I mean, I guess is, well, I was going to say as good as it could.

It probably could have went better. I mean, it was just like, we're like figuring it out. Yeah, I feel like maybe we should do, I thought it, I didn't know what I was walking into. I thought it'd be like a horror game. Yeah.

So we're like, like, shit's scaring you and stuff. But it wasn't like, like, like that at all. It was more like just like detective work. Yeah. So I was like, I don't know. Like I left and I was like I don't know if they like got the content they thought they were going to get That's kind of how I felt like I wish we were just like I don't know

Doing detective work sort of and just trying to like figure stuff out There's like this there's like this thing probably really didn't get clips There's like this there's like this thing that we have the ability We should be able to do but But we just can't or we haven't been able to do it yet where it's like gaming Outside of Call of Duty stuff where like the sidemen are so good at doing like among us among us videos but they all they're all locked in they all they all stream from

their own setup and like games like fazz games like lethal company among us you can't really be in the same you can't be like at a land setup for that because though a lot of like a lot of the content is like the proximity chat right and yeah that's what people were complaining about that we were just like all in discord word instead of like uh prox chat in game or something like that yeah and i guess that kind of like i guess how we did it sort of took away a little bit and then being in like prox chat and stuff does yeah you know what i really want to do is a uh like a Minecraft server but something with like like a i would love to play Minecraft like hey i want to do a Minecraft server but like

but like there's a bunch of I don't know there has to be like a goal or I think a hardcore Minecraft server where everybody's everybody's themselves but when you die

you are you can't come back I think that would be so fun but then what people would be dying on purpose just a like you know foremost is gonna die and then I'm not even saying we're gonna look over in his Uber's here no I'm not saying just like content stuff I'm saying just like have a server

the people ask people who who wants to play and then like just so you know there's a hardcore server yeah everyone everyone's just such on their own like it's just such a call of duty org it's just even just our it's not even the org it's like the side the side of the internet we're on yeah like i don't think anybody's gonna really like lock in like that yeah even when i dove into Minecraft i thought like like i was excited to like keep playing with hacks and he said afterwards we were going to do like a to where you spawn in the nether and you have to make it out of the nether or something like that and beat the game from spawning in the nether and coming out and then meeting the game but then it was like once he stopped playing a little bit or maybe

he went out of town or you know whatever hex hex is i guess a little more busy to me or has some a few other obligations but yeah once he like stop playing one or two days i'm like yo get on then he get on for a day and then he'd be like yeah i got a meeting then he stopped getting on and i was just like man and then i got and then that's when i beat the game in hardcore and then after i beat the game in hardcore i started like my forever world yeah but i did that got the best armor just like had everything the best and i was just like just standing there like now what yeah and then i beat like all the mini bosses and the warden and the other fucks and that it's just like they were like now you build I was like, I'm not fucking

And then I like started trying to build And I was like doing it kind of trolley Because like that's entertaining in itself Yeah But I don't know after after a while I was just like dude I don't want to It takes a different It takes a different like

You have to have like a goal in that game At all times Because if you don't have a goal You will just stop playing I mean I feel like that's And I've said it multiple times But that's me with streaming right now Yeah

It's just like I can't Like a watch party you get on You're watching and I mean there's not really a goal there either but the goal was to just have an entertaining watch party it's interact if you're talking to the chats all the time you're all watching together

but like as far as just me getting on solo by myself it's like I don't I don't want to play matchmaking I don't want to play like rank play I don't want to yeah I don't even know if there's like there's solo games and soul games that I would play but I want it to be like a marathon I don't want it to be like a so

So it's just, I'm sort of in that, in that mindset right now of just streaming. It's like I, I'd like to get on, but I want like a goal. It was so fun to just get on Minecraft and like everyone in the chat sort of knows where I'm at and it's all right, we're here. We got a font. Today we farm. We get diamond armor. And then by the time the stream is, I'm eight hours deep.

It's like, all right, I'm going to end it here tomorrow. We go to the nether. Yeah. And then the next day in the nether, I die. And then I have to restart doing it. everything and especially in the hardcore world it was just one of the sub goals always something to do one of the sub goals that we did hit is uh t s t s to play in the first challenger's cup yeah saw that so we're looking for a fourth that's willing to scrim every day of the week you guys are

not you guys are just going to go in get dominated i might be down though actually we were thinking about either you or tush i don't but we'd have to catch tush we have to catch both either one of you guys on a good day, but we'd have to catch two shen a really good day. Maybe, it depends on how... Actually scrim and stuff? Yeah. Like, you would actually want to try? Yeah, I don't want to... It's not a good sub-goal if we just like, oh, no, we have to sign up for this tournament and get...

If I get... If I'll do it. Just set up a sub... I'll play challengers with DST for 2K. We also have, like, the... We won't hit it. We won't hit it, but like our... One of our biggest sub-goal was we'll play in the first challengers land, like on the actual land. but what was that 10,000?

No, it was like six, I think. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah. So it was like doable. Damn, that's actually doable. But I mean, I had 5K shaved my head. I'm pissed I didn't hit that.

You wanted to shave your head? I didn't want to, but it just would have been worth the 5k. Like, if you do the math. Yeah. And I kind of want to see what I would look like. I don't know if it'd be a good look. Yeah, I think you, I think you clutched up.

Yeah. Jack clutched up with that one. Yeah. Appreciate the non. support no I really was hoping like just just to do that live on stream shave my fucking head

not just like a buzz cut yeah didn't Seth have some it was like shave head at 20k subs or something and then it turned into just buzz cut and I was like yeah I was like yeah I'm just gonna get a bus cut it's like no it's got to be a shaved head look

hex is limping again oh my god it's always he's softened he's heartin man he's hurting he's hurting he's hurting everywhere been a long week for well i don't want to talk about it now but yeah um i didn't come with notes today don't have anything to transition to but he is limping again what the fuck is he length i don't know why he's living oh he's just always injured always something um what else shots he one controller player absolutely man absolutely Was there any arguments about that?

I mean, it was between Shotsie and Matt. It had to have been between those two. I mean, I think in order to be a controller player, the best blank of all time, you have to be, you have to do it in multiple avenues. And both of them won events in two different e-sports on controller. I wonder if you, yeah. Both of them won world championships in two different e-sports. I guess it was, the Matt only win one world champ in Codd.

Yeah, one. So one in Cod, one in Hado. One in Cod. Shotsie's one, one in Cod. Or one in HALO, two in Cod. Three in Cod. Three in Cod. Is he won three in Cod?

Three. All right, maybe he did. Because I was going to say, it was like, people were like, really, Shotsie won for a player of the decade? Are we just talking about the last like five years? Nope. It's just like, I can kind of see what they're talking about. Because if you're talking, 2015, he wasn't playing.

2016, he still wasn't even pro. 2017 he turned pro in halo but like wasn't doing that much 2018 he started winning so 2018 so it's like seven years he's been kind of like the top of art he did more in that seven years and a lot than anyone else on the list I think it did in 10

but then when I think of formal I'm thinking about all the event wins he had in cod the dynasty the amount of I guess maybe more consistent how many times did formal win in halo before I think just once just with Dynasty

just with Dynasty he won in was he ever on 2016 11 he won in Halo 4 as well but no one really With instinct No wait

he wasn't ever on instinct Halo no Halo 4 was like formal I think he won a few times in Halo 4 And they were just like The God Squad I think it was like him

Snipe Down Ola Hines or something like that I think they were winning in Halo 4 But it's just No one ever like counts Halo 4 wins So I don't know, I guess there was a good

There is a discussion about it Was Matt? Was Matt in ghosts in ghosts? Matt was never on the best team But he was always considered like One of the best players like an incredible like Like if he was on If you replace him he could he could take anybody spot on anybody's team Right like is that how he was in reach

I mean people were starting to learn Yeah like I think we teamed we got top three and he was kind of shitting I mean he choked for top two while I was playing great but uh I mean not I don't know if he he said he played bad

against uh it was like Ryan Neublethal Blaze and APG we lost to them for top two and then they won the event but I felt like I was playing good I should have won that series the rest of my teammates I can't speak for them but yeah after that

um yeah he was always just playing, placing, or playing really, really well. Yeah. Then he sort of found his team in Dynasty. And then by the time he was hitting his peak, Halo was just like sort of ending. I think we had one, yeah, 2012.

We had like a no bloom, no sprint event or something like that. Yeah. And I can't even remember who he was teaming with for that. But no, he was like hitting his peak as Halo was kind of, oh, we're not going to have any Halo tournaments. Right. Yeah. And so he, in Halo 4, he was.

was looked at as like one of the best. Yeah. I didn't think when he's... There's an unfortunate astric with Halo 4. Yeah. There's not really... I don't think there's that much of an asterisk in Cod

as there is with Halo 4. Cod just always been like legit tarnies and shit. Not really. I think maybe... Well, I guess. Maybe like Modern Warfare 3 would be considered kind of like Halo 4, but MonoWher 3

is a really good game and Halo 4 was a shit game. I think that's the difference. that we haven't I don't think call the duty has had a bet actually mono for 2022 was really bad well all I compare it to is when there were the shittier tournaments for call of duty what was it like umg was that be like the lesser tournaments was everyone still showing up see in halo four like people weren't even screaming really like I was barely playing the game and I would go and get like a top six and I remember one time being up I think it was the best of nine we were up four to one or no we're up 4-0 and then lost the best of none to who uh i think like goofy

oh fucking some shit team and it wasn't even it's for to get like top four top three or something yeah uh but but to show you how serious it was i woke up that morning and chugged a 40 that doesn't because i think i was like 40 yeah i think i was just like maybe hung over like i didn't care. The prize money wasn't enough. I knew I wasn't, I didn't practice enough to be even good. I was just like still in the halo scene a little bit. I'd hop on. Sure, I'm bored. Yeah, let's get a team go to this event. That's basically, oh, I can, I can drive to this event. Or the, when I got reverse sweeped, it was we had a sponsor. So I was like, sure, man, we'll fucking go. And then, uh, yeah, I remember my teammate, Regicide, who was like our sponsor kid or whatever. Um, no disrespect. Respectfully. Um, um,

and it's we were up 4-0 in the series he made his clan tag 4-0 we we we then it was 4-1 he changed it 4-1 then it was 4-2 he changed it 4-2 then it was 4-2 he changed it 4-3 then it went like 4-4 he stopped changing it we lost uh it's actually that's actually like that's a loss where I like I really I've had some tough losses where I'm like fuck that's gonna fuck with me but that really wasn't one of them that was that that's actually more of like uh holy shit that's incredible like a fucking course. I think it was me, I think it was me, Ace, Cloud

and Redicide. Really? Yeah. And we woke up that morning drank beer and shit, went down to the venue. Like, that's how, that was Halo 4 for us. Like, unless you were like formal and shit winning the event, like, we just didn't. What were they, like 10Ks?

Like prize money? Yeah, yeah. I don't know. It wasn't much. Less than that, maybe? Winner maybe got like maybe 2K each. Maybe 1500 each or something. Yeah, yeah. So if I'm going, expected to get a top six, the top four, a top three, or something like that, like, I'm not, I'm pretty sure I skipped a bunch of Halo 4 events. Oh, Halo's been through the ringer, man. HALO has been through the ringer. See, like, not a lot of people were showing up. Like, it would just be, there was no fans, right? There was just

a certain set amount of Halo 4 kids that were willing to go to the events. But a lot of pros just like stop. And there were no fans. It's not like fans would go. Not really. Yeah. Yeah, it was dead. Like, all the players like, I don't even know if Tugur was playing like that. Maybe he was, but I don't even know if like Tugre was playing. I don't even know if Roy and lunch were playing like that. Yeah.

I don't know if like T2 fucking the victory fear itself. Like all the kind of at the, all the kind of players that were still pretty good by the end of Halo Reach, like a lot of them are just like this isn't worth it. We got to like real life is here and we're at that age. So it's just all the young people, still going to these events everyone else was scared real life was coming you probably got jobs

and shit yeah yeah it's just that weird time yeah that's i mean hey let's definitely halo has definitely been through the ringer like people talk about like you know maybe there's not the viewership wasn't there like the maybe the fans aren't they're not really packing out places but like there was halo four the only thing that halo four the the only thing i think anyone gave a shit about or there's any sort of memory is when Ace TV won the global Halo 4 Global FFA championships

or whatever to where it was a free for all and then once the top eight were once you placed top eight and there was only eight people left then it went to 1V1s and then that was interesting as fuck and then it came down to Ace versus pistola

and I always just say it's like man man versus Goliath or fucking like some some story like that like that Like man versus machine Because you got Ace He's obviously the man And then Ola is just the fucking machine

That you just How many? How many? He just, I don't know It's just so hard to beat the fucker How many events did Ace win? I think there's that I think just that one

I don't know if he ever won like a It's funny because I think Or before I never really watched Taylor like that Like George was like a Diehard Roy fan um so he would like keep me updated and he i remember him telling me like yo ace one ace won the one v one that's like for a shit ton of money and so at that point i was like oh ace is probably one of the

best players in the world and i always thought that even in he always was really good even until i met even up to the point where i met him but then i didn't i didn't realize that he like maybe he just never got the right team or i mean winning events was just fucking hard bro you just had certain people that were yeah like you would say last year or something you had your optic your hundred thieves and then there's always like phase in there but then you got joe deceives is he on toronto he was yeah oh they did get a second a decent now but ace might be like a joe deceives or something to where it's like everyone knows he's fucking good but he's just not on that team that's winning the event yeah okay that's that's sort of what what it was same for myself as well you know yeah but

I got yours. I did get, thank God I got that. Because like, I would have nothing to show. I would have nothing to show for the past, like, I would have nothing to talk about for the past 15 years. GGCS. GGCS was, see, I feel like I'm, it, no one, not that no one would talk about it. Like, if another team won, no one would mention GGCS.

Oh, no. But since we won, we make it seem like the biggest event. You guys, you guys saved my life. You guys saved my life. Yeah, dude, that was so. You guys saved my life. Blast and you guys saved my life because I was about to get fucking destroyed. I think we were down.

Weren't we down 2-0 in the series? Yeah, you guys reversed swept them. And then reverse swept them and even like on one of the game. And then I think on the final map we were down like 5-1 or 5-2. There was something crazy. And then came back in 165. It was just insane. Just insane.

Yeah. If somebody came in my chat and said, but. Somebody came in the chat and said By the way, Pomage right now is watching around the bar on his stream and kissing his GGCS trophy. I was like,

what? You did around the bar with Pan? No. He was watching. I don't know what one he was watching. Just kissing his GGCS trophy? Maybe he was watching the Mike P episode. I don't know.

I have no idea. I was like, are y'all keeping an eye on him? Like, his, it's up to his chat to keep an eye on him. He can't be falling asleep anymore. Pam's a man. I always make Addy jokes about him now because that motherfucker grinds. Yeah. And at first I was like, bro, I know.

I know you're on it. But he's like, no, I swear I'm not. Yeah. I'm like, that's fucking telling me. You're not playing 16 to 18 hours a day. There's no way that you actually like love what you do. Yeah. I don't know.

He just does. He genuinely just loves what he does. He loves Cod. He loves gaming. He's still, yeah, he's been trying to, he's been trying to, his best to catch a certain Pokemon. And it's been taking him like a week. And he'll get on and play Pokemon for three hours,

trying to catch this one Pokemon. And then after he, and then after he'll play war zone. I'm so jealous, man. I'm so jealous of that. I'm so jealous of just nerding out. That's why the marathons are just fun or when I got on my grab of eggs. I just, I love nerding out when it's like, when it's real.

I genuinely think And it's funny, we're talking about this an hour After I mentioned it, but I think after playing I always knew I was going to play Eldon Ring solo But after playing it and beating the DLC solo I mean it's it's in my top five games ever made It's Minecraft Mono War for 2

Elden Ring I think those are like the top the top Yeah I mean it even made mine fucking And like thinking about top gaming moments for me, it'd be like, Halo 2, Halo 3, H1Z1, Fortnite, and I think Eldon Ring. And then maybe a Minecraft. That'd be like my top. I think it's dope. There's gaming moments of just like, you know, the few months I'm grinding H1Z1 and my viewership's good.

And just those memories and Dr. Disrespects playing. And all the streamers are playing, ninjas playing. And everyone's got clips. and highlight videos are coming out. Like that would, like a moment. Yeah. Like that. Not even just the game itself.

Just like moments in my gaming career. I think just like so good. As, as your best friend, I'm very glad that Eldon Ring went how it did because I know you love, I love those eras too. I love Fortnite. I loved H1Z1 and your head. career, but I just knew how much you were peaking every time you were playing.

But for Eldon Ring, you literally found love for it and you didn't need any of that. And focus. Focus and love. Or chat. Yeah. The rage. Whenever I saw you do this when you beat the fire giant, I think you did it. You did it for a few bosses.

But when you were like, dude, bro, that feeling, that's the feeling. When I beat the final boss of the D.C, that was my whole body. My entire body. I was literally like my whole body was shaking. It's such like a dopamine rush. Because you're just dying and dying. For me, it'd be, I think it was like two days on millennia.

Yeah. It's just dying and dying and dying. And then you go through like phases of like, all right, this might be, nope, I'm fucking bad. Yeah. And then you like sort of stop trying again. Yeah.

Yeah. Start swinging. I'm not dodging shit. I'm trying to stagger you. If you do the move, I don't give a fuck. They start switching R. armor and then then you get bored, then you start getting close again.

And then you're like, all right, I figured out how to dodge her first thing. And then it then figured out how to dodge it twice and figured out how to dodge all three. And then you fucking get into it again. I think we did a flycast with Big Timer and Big Timer told us to play that game. And both of us were like, I don't think we could, I don't think that's the kind of game. Big T was grinding it. I remember, I remember Will his YouTube videos. Will told me.

No, Will said he played it off stream. I will say Eldon Ring if we haven't played it. Like, if you really want to like dive into it. I've just never been into. I know. Well, I have to, I've always been a multi. It's maybe the best game of ever played. Really?

Yeah, 100%. Better than last of us. It immediately went like right there with the last of us. Maybe better. What's your favorite game of all time? It might be Eldon Ring. It's so good. Is it?

What about something like most, like from how different, like I think the difficulty of the game is really what hooked me. It's what's most annoying. But I can't tell you. satisfactory. There's no other game that I have stood up like with nobody watching and like yelled at the top of my lungs when I beat a boss because I just failed like 65

times for three days. He played it on console off stream. I can't do that. I need like the interactive like yeah people shit talking me. But that feeling that feeling of the you because you don't look at the bar you look at the boss

but you can tell where the bar is in your peripheral and when it's getting close? Dude, it's like, oh my God, like my heart rate is probably at like 85, 90 when I'm just fighting it. But then you get past the first phase, it kind of sparks a little bit.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But then by the time, when you get it to about one fourth and you're like, wait, this could, I, or even like maybe one third, you're like, wait, this can actually be it. But then that'll happen a couple times and then you'll just die. Yeah.

There's just so much rage involved. And then when you finally beat, it's just such a fuck. It's literally like a fucking agasm. It's so good. It's literally a nerd gasm. And it's funny because I've got so, I've, my only soul's experience is Eldon Ring and Elder Ring

DLC. There are so many games. There are so many games. But do you think you could play it like how you have been, say like eight hours? I don't know. I don't know if I could have to abandon DL or DST. That we won or worse hit.

She's. I could probably do a solo. I don't know. I can even play it offstream. See, I just, I wouldn't get the dope. Like, no one would be there to watch. No one would be there to watch me to get close. No one would be there for me to take my fucking anger out on them.

Blake and one of the sub goals we hit is Blake and George have to do a marathon of Sekiro, which is like, it's like samurai style, like Asian style. Souls game. And they have to do that. And I've never played the game. Are they going to be like switching off? Yeah. Okay. Like that stream's always going.

Someone's always playing. And that's going to be very interesting. We're going to see how the boys handle that game because that looks hard. Have they played anything like that? We played. We played Eldon. Are you just swiping on? He's back.

Hey, James. We're not going to say names. All you ladies. Names. All you ladies that are still listening through all the Eldon Ring and Drake talk, James is around and he's mingling. And he's got a new hairstyle and shit. He's growing his flow out.

He's got a bunch of baggage, but you can fix him. You can fix him. Me and James will text sometimes on the side and just be like, wait, last podcast, did I talk about it at all? Where I just don't. I'm having such a hard time finding, like love yeah but it's like like i i i think i want i think i want love man i just i want it to be like a

peaceful love though like a non-stressed oh she took a she took a fucking didn't respond to me but took a selfie i wonder which guys liking that giving her fucking dope or so but like those type of games are the games i'm not trying to play i'm just trying to in like a peaceful relationship i get that i respect you you respect me know my boundaries i know yours i control everything you do i mean no no but like in like a like traditional type shit you're trying to get a traditional letter letting housewife okay i don't know if i can afford that yeah i was i say you need to yeah maybe not a housewife yet but eventually okay kids and shit just a peaceful loving calm non-argumented

non-gealous making just an enjoyable devoted lifelong partnership so if any ladies are still watching through all the Drake talk and the Eldon Ring talk Nick is single ready to mingle but not mingle

he wants to settle down yeah not mingle he wants to settle down he wants a housewife he wants someone to show him love and affection it's been an experience this year I feel like everyone, I'm just like, I just miss that feeling of, like you know, there's certain girls

and I'm sure you had this with Alexis, like, when you, when you were like, oh, wait, she's interested. Yes. When Alexis's interested? Yeah. When you, like, find out, you're like, wait a second, she fucking likes me.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, you're sitting there like, yes. And then when you find it, you start going on dates and said, you're like, yes. She's texting back quick. Yes. She, like, you know, her eyes, she's only thinking about you.

Like this, oh, there's a thing between us. And this is like before you're dating or anything and you start hanging out and every day is just nice. You're like, yes, you can't wait to see her. Can't wait. She calls you. You actually pick up. She texts you. You can't even see the text.

But you're like, yes. Like just something like that, man. I miss that feeling. It doesn't come around often. And maybe it does for some people, but I feel like with just my life lately, it's like, I've talking to. I've dated By dated I mean like go on a date

Go on some dates or dinner Here or there talk to a few girls But it's never like I don't know It's just never that it's never like You think maybe you should dabble in like Celibacy for a little bit? I want to say I kind of have

But I haven't But like mentally celibate To where I'm not like What does that mean? It means I'm like Just me because I get a nut doesn't mean like those the feelings were there and like so like mentally I love celibate is that not a thing I have thought about going celibate a little bit and

to be honest I could do it but it's just sometimes I'll just be bored or I don't know I don't know there's something to I don't know because I'm really like not even that I think I'm getting to a point it actually went on a date last Friday and it actually went pretty well she was we've like followed each other on Instagram for like six months and I always just kind of like poke of like hey

and she always just like she'd poke back like show some interest and then I'd ask her to like let's get food and then she either ignores it or I remember one time she was like sorry I'm just not ready I was like I was like I actually I was like I actually kind of like that answer.

Yeah. Then she just played it so long. And then we eventually met up, went super well. She was very pretty in real life. But then it's like, I almost already feel stressed about it. Like that feeling of like, she didn't respond to my text, but there's an Instagram story of her at the gym. Shit like that. And I'm just like, I fucking hate this feeling.

Or it's like, I text. her last night she didn't text back woke up no text again but then like two hours later she texted like I fucking hate I hate this little feeling this feeling of like

kind of liking someone and it's just the way the game is that's just how the game goes there's I was talking to her a little bit about it too and obviously girls one way to like push a girl you like a way is to like be needy and like be too much

and she's like oh my god he's like desperate for this to work that's like a dick it's a turnoff for that so I have to play the game and I have to play cool but on the inside you're but on the inside I'm just like can we just fucking like I know you like me

I think I think maybe I kind of like you I don't fucking know it's still way too early but like let's just go out again today yeah and like just go get food or something like anything hopefully she doesn't see this I mean, that's sort of where I've been at.

That is so funny. But then there's a whole side of me that's like that. But then if they actually really start liking me, and then it's a text every day and every morning and I want to do this. And let's do Bible study and let's fucking let's go eat. I want to hang. What are you doing this weekend? Once I realized like, oh, wait, I can have this if I really want it.

Then it's like, but then if I have it, next thing after. that is like spending all the time together and then moving in together and then she wanted kids within the next two years which i wouldn't be against but it's just it's then it's just scary thinking about that shit it's like it's like it's like i think i want it and then if i get into it's like life is scary man then i got to propose and shit and then i'm already then i'm thinking about a wedding and i'm just like i'd rather just go get fucking married what's it called when you don't even like have a I go a lope somewhere instead of... That might be the move, dog.

I don't, I don't know. That shit might be the move, dog. Because, I don't know. It's just a lot. A lot of stress. Life's hard, man. Life's hard sometimes. But I kind of just, it just, it is what it is.

And, you know, whatever, whatever path God has laid out for me, I have faith that it will happen. I try not to stress about it. And just do what I can. control what I can control and you know hopefully the best things happen that's all I can do and we're going to leave y'all with that I think man we got a we got a video coming up here soon thank you guys for watching thank you guys so much for watching tuning into another fly cast I know we don't have a guess man maybe money mark next week I heard he's got a lot of shit to get off his chest lately he does
