Welcome to episode 81.
We're going to start it off of the flightcast by...
Welcome to episode 80.
Keep this.
Hold on, hold on.
We got this.
We got this.
We got this.
Just keep that.
I like that one.
Guys, we working on episode of 81 of the flycast, brought you by quarterroys and censored.
CBD.
Sparkling drink.
We're going to start this episode off with a nice freestyle.
I can't, man.
It literally, like, my anxiety just sparked.
anxiety spiked
I was gonna say something
but I would have got back
I was gonna say my anxiety spikes
nice to be white looking
I mean it's not
it's a freestyle though
it's a freestyle
I can't control what comes out
also you can't control that you're white
and why is it easy
exactly
why is it is nice
and why is it easier to freestyle
talking about
gay stuff
I don't know
I'm serious
sick of this shit. Like I'm even
fucking hesitant to... Give me the dick.
I'm hesitant to even say gay.
Like, when I was going to say
gay stuff, I was
just like, why is it hard to say
those homophobic?
I know.
I was going to say it. Like, I feel like
gay rappers out there, they got it easy
because it's easier to think of gay stuff.
Gay rappers don't
necessarily rap about gay stuff either.
I know. Does little Naz-X
rap about gay stuff?
Is he gay?
Yeah,
Lolaus X is gay.
I think.
There's no,
I mean,
let's go say,
Hey, prove it.
Yeah,
Pugh this shit right now.
Kiss me.
Pugh this shit right now.
I don't know if they actually do.
The Brockhampton dude,
the Brockhampton dude
raps about like his boyfriends and shit.
And he's,
he can rap too.
He can like rapidy rap.
Hasn't Frank Ocean said some stuff like that.
Oh.
I'll be the boyfriend
in your wet dreams tonight.
he's talking about a dude
he's talking about a dude
girls don't have wet
well yeah maybe they do
but there can't be
the girls have wet dreams
yes i mean they might get wet
but like our wet dream is like we literally
yeah
none right
i mean i think there are
i think i think
females can orgasm middream
but like wet dreams for guys
aren't like orgasms
they just it's just like
they kind of are though
really
I think
like are you are you saying it doesn't like
like it just like blub blub
like it blubs out or
no it's more like uh
I feel like that you don't get the sensation of like
the great the wow this is awesome
that like you would
any other time yeah
not as much but
I think you still kind of do
yeah
like I've definitely had first off
that's fucking insane
that you can get that from a dream.
Dude.
Also, like, you know how, like,
sometimes you're dreaming and the reality,
like, if you ever go to sleep for, like,
40 seconds or, like, two minutes
and then you wake up, and you had a whole ass dream?
Like, sometimes, like,
if it seems like dreams in your mind
feel like they lasted, like, five minutes
when in reality they were probably, like, 10 seconds.
So was, like...
Yeah, that doesn't make sense.
So what dreams are...
Like, there's something insane going,
I can't believe dreams are just like, we just accept.
Yeah.
We just accept that they're there.
I mean, I don't know how you can study it though.
Yeah, every once in a while, I close my sleep, I become, I close my eyes, I become unconscious,
and also fake movies play in my head.
And we're just like, yeah, that's normal.
But I would literally be in my dream and just realize it was a dream.
And like, sometimes I could tell.
And you said it's time to love that.
What was weird is like, I could tell I was about to wake up.
and I would do something to where I like didn't wake up.
I don't know how it fucking works,
but it was fucking nuts.
And I thought I was like a genius at the time
for being able to lose a dream.
And apparently like a lot of people don't,
never really got to experience that.
I've never,
it was like probably like a year or two.
I dream,
I lucid dream so often.
I'm glad I can't lose a dream
because apparently if you can lucid dream,
then you're more prone to sleep paralysis.
And I'd never had sleep paralysis,
But fuck that.
You never had sleep paralysis?
No.
I remember one time at an event, I was so, like, dehydrated, drunk, just had so much alcohol and shitty foods in my system.
And I think, like, that sparked it a lot.
But one morning I woke up and, like, I was rooming with Flames Sword.
And he's, like, on that bed.
I'm on this bed.
And I, like, wake up and I just see this, like, dark shadowy figure at the door.
And I'm like, what the fuck?
And then it just starts coming slowly towards me.
And then it starts, like, looking at me.
And I'm like, and apparently I was just, like, choking in my sleep.
And I was, like, trying to force myself to, like, wake up or something.
But I was just, like, panicking, freaking out, like, and then I wake up.
And I looked at my left, and flames starts just sitting up in his bed, like, bro, what the fuck?
Yeah.
Like, I don't know what it looked like from his point of view, but.
Formal gets them, too.
I just remember waking up and being like, what the fuck?
I remember formal, we were in Australia and we were outside and he was like fucking chain smoking.
He was like, dude, I, like, I just took a nap and I woke up and I had, or I was trying to wake up.
He said it felt like 45 minutes of staring, but you couldn't wake up and he was just like seeing things.
Mine's never been that long.
It's been like just an abrupt, scary.
moment. Yeah. Well, who knows if it was actually 45 minutes. He just said that's what I felt like.
Yeah. And at the time, I didn't even know if I knew what's, I had heard the term, but I didn't even
know what it was. And then he started telling me about like one time when he was on envy, like,
Castro had to pull him out of it. And really? Yeah. So apparently he gets him pretty bad. And
ever since then, I was like, yeah, fuck that. I don't want that. I'm as formal. Yeah. Well,
you still see him, I guess. I still miss him. And I'm right beside him. Yeah.
It's that Diablo.
You just walk in.
You're like,
it's that Diablo life, bro.
I think it's,
I think it's Diablo.
I feel like it's been,
has he been in content this year?
Like,
when did we move down here?
No,
he hasn't been in content for a while.
We're filming a few things with him.
For like the,
uh,
Optic Nation stuff.
But he's just,
I don't know.
He said,
uh,
he told Hector like he basically can't do content.
He gets too anxious.
So that's where we're,
That, I feel like, I'm sure, I know where he's sort of at with that.
Because like, once you have, even if like, I'm not in content for a week or like, I don't
see any of you for a week.
When I, like, walk back in, it's like, not weird, but it's like, I feel like I'd, like, lose
momentum and I'm not as comfortable.
Yeah.
And it's like, we made the move down here.
And then obviously, he doesn't have a car or anything here.
And no one really lives there that'll, I guess you could drive him.
But it was kind of just like a, like, all right, we moved down here.
Like, don't worry about it for now.
Yeah.
And then that just turned into like tons of him not being in content.
Not being in.
I think, I understand why he would think, why it would like make him anxious to just like
randomly appear again.
Yeah.
Because especially with formal, it's like, oh, formal's back.
But then what if he's like not in that mood?
Yeah.
like the best mood ever and it's just like he doesn't make you fucking laugh and
yeah it's like some weird pressure when it comes to like being on camera i think when phase made
their roster change and also something else happened he got really i forgot what happened but
there was something else that was like on my mind he got like really locked in and then when you
get when you get locked in like that because they were kind of just frying everybody and then
obviously the phase
roster change happens and so
you know now there's a team that
is basically on par with them
skill wise at the time so you're like
oh shit so he was locked in after that
and uh
then then yeah I think what happened
what you're saying happened did happen
where he it had been a couple weeks
then that turned into a month then that turned a month
and a half then it just turns into like he's in a bad
not to say he's like sitting there anxious
and depressed or something, but it's like,
I just, I completely understand when it's like,
even like being on Seth's watch party this weekend,
it's like, I'm already thinking about it and it just like makes me uncomfortable and
like anxious.
And I think that's just like where he's at in fucking content right now.
Yeah.
Because there is this like, and we don't like sign, especially like the people competing
on the teams is like they're not really signing.
it sort of comes with joining Optic
but they don't really like
want to sign up to do
content because at heart we're all
like sort of introverted
nerds
who don't necessarily
I guess want to be on camera
or be like content creators
yeah
I've kind of felt bad for for people that
don't like being in content
but join Optic
because there's immediately pressure
there's immediately pressure on
on our end.
I get tweets every single day
about putting the Apex team in content.
Where do they live?
All over the map.
Oh.
At least that was their initial. I mean, things might have changed since then. And, you know, two-thirds of the Rocket League team don't want to be in content. Besides reddles. Yeah. And it's like
and so now they're probably getting pressure like
hey when is the next time you're going to
to Texas where are you going to do this
where are you going to do this and then on our end
people are hitting us up every day like what are you
what are you going to do when are you going to get them
when are you going to fly them when are they going to be
and it's like
you know a lot of people didn't
as much of a
a grinder and as talented
as Skittle cakes is in apex
I don't think he got into apex
to be in a what's in the box challenge
Bro, people are fucking...
You know,
I don't say this like natively,
but like people are nerds.
That wasn't the way we...
I'm sure in school,
he wasn't the like loud fucking...
Oh, the class clown?
Skittlakes?
Yeah, he might not have been.
Well, maybe he was.
Maybe I don't know.
But like we...
I feel like just being in the video game world
that's like,
it's sort of rare
to find like those like
entertainers or people that like being on camera
because being on camera is fucking weird.
The enables of the world.
The enables.
I don't even, I'm still,
and I'll talk about this with my stream sometimes.
It's like, I don't.
It's like a hit or miss for me.
Like I don't want to be a content creator.
But then there's also times where I'm like,
oh, maybe I am like decent at this.
Maybe I do kind of like this.
and like or if I get to even on stream like I don't want to be like a streamer I don't want to like have to entertain people yeah
for money and like I feel like at heart it wasn't it isn't who I was because I just feel like introverted like I like being
in my bed I like it being quiet I like I don't like socializing with without like alcohol yeah and I feel like it's hard to
somehow, some way I fucking got into this,
like the whole optic space.
Yeah.
I sort of realized like, all right, this Halo shit,
like there wasn't any salaries.
I was fucking like 23 or 24.
And in my head, it's like, all right,
this is when like the careers are pretty much becoming over.
So it's like, let me like get into something new.
And so I sort of dove into it.
Then you go through the honeymoon phase of making content.
and it seems great.
You're making videos with different people.
You're living in a house.
So it's just like, oh, this is like the, like, it just seems like fun and super cool to do and
super new and refreshing.
But then like after a while, it's just like, God, I just want to like sit in my room
and not have hex come in with a care.
Like, it kind of turned into that, like not have hex coming.
Like, no, I don't want to do your would you rather those.
I would rather just like take out.
and like play video games, be in my room, not talk to anyone.
Like I feel like I could go like weeks without even like speaking to someone.
Yeah.
Like I feel like at and I feel like a lot of gamers are like this and a lot of like the formals
or maybe the skittal cakes.
It's like we're sort of, you can see some, um, extrovertedness out of us sometimes,
but I think we're just at heart, just like introverts.
we like our peace and quiet
I bet formal
when he's at his computer
that's when he feels like
at peace
because
he I feel like
he's like never really at his apartment
just like chilling either
yeah he's there a lot
he's always at his setup
he's at the headquarters a lot
but I don't know
it's just I understand
why people would not
want to be in content
it's like
it's just different
or I think it's like harder
and more difficult.
Difficult's not the word, but just like, I don't know,
it's weird being in front of lights, cameras,
everyone who watches this gets to fucking judge you.
Yeah.
You get shit.
I don't even like a refresh Twitter anymore.
Like, if I refresh Twitter,
dude.
I still haven't.
For a little bit, I thought I've mastered the not getting pissed off at people or like,
it comes away,
getting pissed off at people.
It comes back around.
But like, I thought for a little bit.
bit like I didn't give a fuck like I've been
replying to people really
you're but you circle around
I'm back to 2016 yeah
wait did I see I know I've seen
Bose do it Boes has been doing it too I think he
inspired me see but I I'll refresh
my or I'll just look at my mentions
and I'll see someone just like shit talking me
for something and I just I just get off that
and I don't like I don't look at my mentions
anymore
sometimes I'll scroll through my feed
I'm trying to get like
I mean using Twitter
I mean using Twitter as like a
like a creative
roasting platform
so like people
like I tweeted a selfie the other day
like as a joke
but I tweeted it
and somebody was like
you're ugly
and then I just wanted to reply like
I hope your leg cramps
on the way to work
like just just I hope
I like Bose's approach better
yeah
I just know you hate life
and I hope it gets worse
so like
that's what I saw Bose say to someone
I know you hate life
And I hope it gets worse
Is the perfect response
Dude
Like those type of responses are
Are what I like
Yeah see I like
I like like not going too much
At the throat
But like being where I like
I feel like I like
Talking shit to people
Where they would be like
Like that face
Instead of like
Or like
I'm gonna roast you back
Or like
We're gonna get in fights
I want them to be like,
what the fuck?
I think that's so funny.
I like,
I used to,
I try to tell myself,
like,
I wish everyone the best.
But lately,
I've been getting into a mode
where it's like,
maybe I don't,
maybe I don't wish you the best.
Yeah.
And I like,
I want you to hurt.
That's kind of how I am.
And I,
like,
I want your first born to be ugly
and you have to lie to them their whole life.
Yeah.
Like,
that's,
that's kind of how I want you to be like,
miserable for a few weeks and like
Yeah
Really feel like shit's at its worst and like you're just not
Like you don't know where your future's headed
All because you're treating me
All because he said like
Ew
Yeah I'm glad you got drops for from the halo team
Or just doors just they just reply you're lazy
I'm just like I just start imagining like
You just like you like your eyes
like turn white
and you're just like picturing.
Yeah.
You're back to lucid dreaming.
I had to talk on my stream today.
And I forget what I was talking about.
Something about being lazy and then someone's just like,
just admit you're fucking lazy,
L.O.L.
And I think I'm definitely lazy.
But I feel like there's a lot of,
there's like levels to this lazy shit where it's like,
this is me trying to justify my laziness.
There's level.
to this lazy shit.
I'm saying there's laziness.
It's like someone who goes into work,
types on a computer all day.
Like, I don't fucking,
they say they work eight hours a day,
five days a week,
but like they get home.
It's like straight to Netflix,
straight to eating out,
eating dog shit.
And it's like,
they'll look at me and think I'm lazy.
But it's like,
I'll walk to work.
I'll walk to the gym.
I'll work out every single day.
I'll go running.
I'll get groceries.
I cook not really the past week or two,
but I'll cook like every single meal.
And there's just certain things I'm not lazy about,
but like I know other people are.
But I'm called,
but I'm looked at as like the laziest guy
because it's like I don't want to sit down at my computer
and send something over to Lando
to finish this fucking video that we've,
that I've delayed for fucking weeks.
And I don't want to send emails
I don't want to put shit in a drop box or a Google drive
And I don't want to turn on a PC and sit down
And log into this and find this contact
Look back on my old phone to find these videos
Like I'm fucking I'm super lazy for that
I don't really know what my point is
But I guess I'm trying to define my laziness
But like
Now you're right there's levels to this lazy shit
And I think when you're when you're making something
The worst part and this happens to like
I bet you this happens to almost every creator
you set a goal to do something
and you're going to create something out of that
and once you do it
you a lot of times you'll finish 80% of it
and then you'll just like all your passion will be gone
so you do it's in your first 30 days of my video
I have no footage
besides our weekly like updates that I did with Lando
like we I had no footage
I look back and I'm like dude
fuck this video
I don't even want to put it out now
I didn't lose as much weight
is I wanted.
I think that's the most interesting thing
with these challenge videos
I've been doing.
That's been the,
and,
and,
and,
and what,
the challenge videos we've been doing
with TST as well,
that's been the most interesting part.
We'll set aside
100 hours to play a game
and we make a video out of it.
And when we're done with the 100 hours,
it takes me like two months to write the script.
Just because I'm like,
we finished it.
In my head,
we finished it.
But in reality,
it's not done yet.
There's still,
and then that causes,
Like I finished my flip phone week like three weeks ago.
But and I have the script written out.
I just haven't filmed the narration yet and like all the B roll.
Yeah.
That I need to send it over to True to have it done.
And it's like because in my mind, part of my mind is like I've already done it.
So like I'll convince myself like the 60 day shit.
It's like, well the point was to fucking do it and I fucking did.
And it's like at the end of the day.
Like I don't give a fuck like about the video
But why I's not why I started it
But like one of the things into starting it was like
Like I want this video to pop
I got this like
I got these ideas of like I'll see other like viral videos of
Of transformations or something
And in my head that's what I want to do
But even by like the end of week one
I'm just like all right
This is fucking now what
And then by 30 days in
I'm like
I stopped doing the little
recording stuff
and it's just fucking hard to do
people that can really grind out long
videos like that
like you completely like
at a time
almost like lose your motivation
for like I was still doing the workouts
but it was just like
I lost my native motivation
for like
the creativeness from it
I'm surprised you have
because I would look at you like not lazy
what's like your
I'm not lazy
it's just
what do you wish you were
better with
mental health
from like a lazy aspect
um
like mine would be
planning out
videos
like I want to build a website
for my like fitness stuff
for like
include my apparel there
or programs and
start building this
but it's like I just won't sit down
and fucking
start writing it up and giving ideas and reaching out to people and talking to people who can build it
like I just sit there and fucking think about it and don't yeah so that's what that's what I'm bad at
is like sitting down and truly starting to like build something that I won't build I think my
there's just a lot that hits my plate all at once and some things just inevitably get pushed
even if they're simple.
So right now I'm, you know, in the back of my mind,
I still, I'm moving my around the bar bar to start my own.
I thought that was two years ago.
Yeah.
Because that's been.
Why?
Okay.
Sorry.
Yeah.
So I'm moving that this weekend.
I'm planning a really high end event.
That's going to be happening soon.
And I still have to write the 100 hours script.
I still have to film my
flip phone video
I have to I'm in the process
of doing another video
for my for my personal channel
Can you say what that is?
No
but also I want to film the video that we talked about
if you want to
I'm doing it regardless but if you want to
we should do it
That's fucking tough it's tough
Well we've mentioned it before right
I don't think so
I think we have
Have we?
I mean, I guess it doesn't matter.
It's the flycast.
We can talk about it.
No, we don't have to.
Let's not.
Let's not.
But that's kind of,
that's a fucking all day.
Oh,
it's a,
it's a four a.
Absolutely.
The four a.m.
to 10,
11 p.m.
That's like you might be fucked
for a week or two.
Yeah.
Like hospitalized.
No,
hospitalized.
We'll be fine.
You can take your time.
It's just,
you've got to finish it.
But,
yeah,
that,
if you want to do that,
I'm gonna do it.
Maybe.
If you don't want to do it.
Depends on my mood that week.
I'll ask Brandon.
He'll come down and do it, I'm sure.
I just don't want to do it alone.
I can't do it with Lexus because she's diabetic.
Her blood sugar would be low all day.
Just being in there by yourself, tripod and shit.
So yeah, I'm just, it's just a lot.
It's a lot.
And I wish I could knock out.
Like, if I just sat down for six,
hours and knocked out
the apex react
then that would just clear up that
or the apex 100 hours and that would just
clear up that part of my brain
and then I could just work
I could check things off one by one
but I just can't do that
so weird how much anxiety it gives me
like I've been
putting off sending Lando these
fucking just random
videos I mean they were all pretty much in the first month
but it was in even that it was
only like a few and then pictures
that I'm going to send over to them
but I did like go back in my camera roll
and just find every single one
and then favorite them
and add them to my favorites
and at least that way they're organized
a little bit but I haven't done that
and then I was just sitting on my couch this morning
my girl's like what's wrong
and I'm just like you don't feel good
and it's just like you okay
and it's just like I'm literally laying there
in a blanket I'm just thinking about this
thinking about how much should I put off
where's my future gonna go
and how just like
disappointed in myself
and fucking just so many
like bad negative thoughts
but then I just like
had enough went upstairs
sat on the toilet taking a shit
and I just went back and favored it everything
and like put it in a folder
now the next step is actually like sending it to
them I don't even know if I can send
there's like too much like I don't know how to do it though
I plug on my phone put it to a fucking Google drive
like I don't know any of this shit
and it's just like
yeah it's just fucking pathetic man
just fuck it like i can just easily figure i could text him and say yo how can i transfer these to you
right yeah but just the fact of sitting there plugging in my phone i don't know putting them in a folder
like that was bugging me so much and then just like favoriting them and then like putting them into
a folder yeah gave me a little relief yeah but it fucking shit like that would just like eat at me
and I'll just do
I just won't do anything about it
and then like
last night
fucking
yesterday was like day two
of not eating like a complete fat fuck
okay
and then yesterday I get home from kickball
felt like I hadn't ate that much
and then I had like three banana nut muffins
glass of milk
a yogurt
and I didn't need any of that.
I think I made a sandwich as well,
but it was just like,
I should have ate the sandwich and that's it.
Go to sleep.
But instead, I'm like, fuck.
I don't know if I'll be able to fall asleep,
a little hungry.
I'm like, fuck it.
I'll just work it off tomorrow.
I'm gonna go for a long run tomorrow.
Dude, I've been telling,
I'm gonna wake up, like, ready to do it
because I know I got extra calories in me.
I woke up this morning, tired, depressed, bro.
No motivation.
I ate way too much
And it's just like now
Today I'm just like
Why can I fucking do that
And then this is just a cycle
Every single day
I feel like when you're on a schedule
It's so great
And then something knocks you off
Like when
I need to start another fucking video
I don't even care if I like
Make it public
You should go 70
You should do 75 strong
It was so much better
Just kind of knowing
I had to do it
Or else I wouldn't be able to like
live with myself
the 60 day shit it's like I actually did do it every fucking day
because I had like a goal and I was like I have to do this like I actually don't have a choice
now it's like well I got a choice Colin and Samir put out a they released another Mr. Beast
podcast it came out like two days ago and I'm like 45 minutes in and he he is on day
100 or he is on day 315 of working out straight him and I was like
It's like if he can fucking do it
And I thought the fucking 60 day was hard
I mean it is 75 strong
Hard hard
But see I was talking to my chat about that earlier
It's like 75 hard is I can do the
I did 60 hard
Where at least like the working out twice a day
I was doing cardio and then weights
But read 10 books
Or read 10 pages of a book
Journal
I forget whatever
else is in like 75 hard.
Dude, you should do 75 hard and then auction the journal off.
Someone would fucking buy that.
Someone would buy that shit.
I need something to,
that's crazy Mr. Beast has been worked.
I feel like I've seen him and it doesn't look.
I wonder what his workouts are like that.
He's doing a, apparently is like an hour and a half a day.
He's doing,
he's doing some video with Eric where they.
And he is,
let me guys, he's doing it for a video.
Yeah, of course.
He's going to get more fucking Jack than me.
Yeah.
And it's going to piss me off.
Mm-hmm.
Dude, also, this is a side track.
I just thought it was super interesting.
Because of how big his last videos have been,
that and so the number one watched,
most watched YouTube video in a 24-hour span in YouTube history
is Chris Rocks slapping,
or Will Smith slapping Chris.
Rock. It's the most watched video in 24 hours in YouTube history. Like it gets uploaded and
it gets uploaded and how many views it got in 24 hours. That's the most. How much was it? Do you
know? I don't know. That's crazy. Tens of millions. Kind of makes sense. And the second most watched is the
yacht video that Mr. Beas just uploaded with like Tom Brady hits the drone or whatever. And so he started
talking about it. He had he was like, I had to tell my team the other day that the only way we get a one out
10 on YouTube on my YouTube video is if it's the most watch YouTube video in YouTube history
in 24 hour span.
That's the only way his video hit one out of 10.
I thought that was fucking.
I thought that was insane.
How does that work exactly?
What?
Like is it, does it just go by your channel?
Yeah, just like one out of 10 and stuff?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like if I uploaded a video, it got 60,000 views in a day.
It'd probably be number one.
It'd probably be your one out of 10.
Yeah.
like my
my walk to work video
was a two out of ten
how many views does that have now
like 74K or something like that
and my
then my 24 hours in VR video
imagine if you uploaded that back at like the scuff house
like
crazy
been like 300,000
and then my
24 hour video
or 24 hours in VR
video was a 10 out of 10.
And nothing hurts worse than a 10 out of 10.
Really?
Yeah.
It's just because it was such, I think, I think.
Like that just means views, right?
Yeah, it's just views.
And I think it's just like, uh, I think the, the, I mean, I've learned a lot.
I think I'm learning as I'm doing these, which is fun.
But I just like, I just like doing them.
Um, just trying to just trying to get better at it before I do this fucking vegan one.
Um, but yeah, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that,
one uh that one was a 10 out of 10 which it make you not want to upload if i was in a
worst mind state yes but right now i'm using my channel i'm not using my channel right now to
try to make money or to really grow i'm just trying to like try yeah you're a true fucking
dweeb yeah creative i was going to say oh dweeb works better i think true dweeb creative
the what you were saying about like like e-sports guys got into e-sports because
They wanted to be gamers.
That's kind of how, like, I was with YouTube.
Like, I was, I was watching YouTubers growing up.
Like, that's what I wanted to do was, I mean, I watched a lot of gamers, but I watched a lot of YouTubers.
Everything I watched was on YouTube, battle rap into fucking, even now, like, I feel like all I watch is really YouTube.
Yeah.
But I don't really watch, like, YouTube.
All I watch is, like, kind of, like, fitness stuff or, like, documentaries about an athlete.
or...
Dude, have you watched
Where Dreams Go To Die Yet?
What's that?
The Ultra Running Marathon
The Ultra Marathon
The Berkeley or Barclays
Berkley's, Berkley's, Berkley's.
I think I started it.
Dude, it's so good.
I don't know.
10 minutes in.
You got bored.
Either got bored or just like
had to do something
that never watched it again.
Yeah.
That's literally like the
documentary that got me in the ultra run.
I want to do a documentary
of...
Austin said he'd be down
or like,
I was mentioning like,
I want to do another video
and I'll do it with Optic,
whether it's like on my channel,
Optic channel,
whatever.
But to have like sort of a team,
whether it's,
whether they think it'd be interesting or not,
but like I,
um,
train for a marathon or something.
Like I want to get into it.
I want to do another video.
But like,
with the help of these guys.
And I don't know what I want to do, but it's like, do you think that be a good
something that people would watch?
I think right now is probably the best time ever to get into fitness content.
Right now is probably the best.
Because we're all post-COVID.
How many people, dude, it seems like one out of every three people that I know has recently
gotten into some sort of fitness.
I think so.
Yeah.
It's like they started eating better or they started working out, lifting or running.
a lot of people running.
You think that would be a decent idea though?
It's like, but how many people would give a fuck if I tried to do it just have to be put together, right?
I'm telling you a lot of people.
But I feel like we need to start now.
Yeah, I mean, you should.
Because like, but it's like, I'm too lazy to make the text and be like, yo, let's meet up.
I got content tomorrow for the flycask and let's talk after.
Guys, we got to take a break.
real quick, because I got to tell you something.

Back to the podcast.
I wish I could get into something without like super fucking getting into.
I mean, I guess that's not the case.
because I watched that ultra-running documentary
and then I've kind of like been researching
ultra-running and the next thing I know
this past weekend was like a big
like 100-mile race
and I'm there fucking like
10 times a day clicking on the times
and keeping up with like the runners
and where they are at.
And I'm just like do why do I have to...
Wait, is that the one the what's her name one?
Yeah, Corny DeWalter.
She's, that shit's crazy.
Dude, it's like the craziest stat I've ever heard.
That race, the course record,
was, let's say it was six hours,
she ran the whole course in four hours and 40 minutes.
That wasn't her actual time,
but she ran it an hour and 18 minutes under the course record
that had been set in 2012.
Yeah.
So, and then the guy who organized the race said in 10 years,
no one's even come within 30 minutes of the course record.
and she beat it by an hour in 25 minutes or 20 minutes
I wonder what her pace was for it I think it was stupid
I think it was like eight minutes no for a hundred miles
dude I want to look it up I want to look it up see I want to look it up as well
but like I don't know how to calculate the whole I mean 100 divided by her time
right is that how I guess I think so dude I don't my brain literally like I can't
calculate like that anymore
I think maybe
school does help a little bit
for basic shit
because like I haven't been in school for so long
but it's like
trying to calculate
someone's mile time
like they ran 100 miles
it took them four hour
or no it's got to be
it's way more than four hours
100 miles
because like two to three hours
is a merit so it'd have to be like
10 hours
oh shit we're doing math again
on the flycast. People roasted us last time for this.
Why? Because how bad we are? Because how bad we are.
The last time we did this, it was about her too.
Really?
We were, no, no, it was about the, uh, the marathon runner.
Just Kipchogi? Yeah. And he's one of the top comments was
motherfucker already ran the marathon by the time you figured out how fast it took it.
He had already run two miles by the time you figured out how bad.
I mean, he's running at a 430 pace for fucking 26 miles.
So she ran 100 miles.
and 15 hours and 30 minutes.
So.
So yeah, where do you begin?
A hundred.
And then you just start plugging shit in.
I just start plugging shit in.
100.
Divided by 15.
Point five.
Wait.
Yeah.
6.4.
There's no way.
See, I don't, I have no idea how to get that.
100 miles.
100 miles.
So you.
You're going 100 miles per...
Joey!
Wait.
Joey, help us here real quick.
All right.
He ain't gonna know.
Joey, you'll know.
Joe, are you good at math?
If someone runs 100 miles...
Someone runs 100 miles in 15 hours and 30 minutes.
What's their pace?
So they're going 15 miles per hour.
No.
And then they...
No.
Or wait.
Not even close.
Not even close.
Yeah, Joey doesn't...
Exactly.
That's what I'm saying.
It's hard.
A hundred miles.
If you ran 100 miles...
15 hours...
In 30 minutes.
Divide 100?
I don't think that's how it works.
Divided by 15.
That's what I just did.
And what is it?
15.5, right?
An hour...
Wait.
Maybe 15.5 was her...
No, 6.4.
There's no way she ran it in 6.
There's no way she...
For 6.10 minute pace.
So you do 100 divided by 15.
That's 6.4.
That's 6.4 miles per hour.
So she's...
Oh, so she's running 6. Oh, duh.
She's running 6.4 miles in an hour.
So...
Now, how do you do...
60 minutes...
Wait, so what step are we on?
9.3.
She's running a 9.3 minute mile.
9.5 minute mile.
So 9.3 times 15.5.
No.
Who knows, man.
Wait, what if we just Google?
What is, what's her name?
Courtney, oh wait.
Courtney DeWalt, we could probably just look up her pace.
We're fucking dumb.
Dahlwater.
Dahlwater.
Courtney Dewald.
Gordon.
Dalwater
Quarthe Walter
Western State's pace
Western States pace
A dramatic
Yeah I mean
She ran 62 miles with a 915 pace
Yeah
So we were probably close
Yeah
We were probably close
Who knows bro
Wait she averaged
A 915 mile
I wonder
I wonder if her split
We could probably just look up her splits
Western States
Yeah, she on Strava
Splishiel and Strava. Dude,
Strava would probably pay her
a lot.
I don't know if I could do
Ultras. Well, I didn't
fucking definitely gonna.
I played kickball yesterday.
And just like
sprinting to first base made my
hips hurt, my legs hurt,
the side of my fucking legs hurt. Like, I can't
I feel like I can't recover.
I feel like hard and running,
feel like running's getting harder with this Texas heat.
Dude, it's so hard.
I wonder if Shotsie's still doing this fucking four miles a day.
We need to get his ass on here.
I give up.
Dude, I bet you that was the most heart-wrenching thing to listen to.
And then they can't hear.
People just got so pissed at us.
But yeah, somebody put it in the top.
It'll be the top comment.
Someone will figure it out.
Someone will figure it out.
And just know that I, we are, we are smart.
So you ran in...
The two of us.
I think I'm getting dumber.
Like, seriously, there's sometimes it's like I genuinely can't think.
Like, even like basic math or like remembering it, I'm pretty sure I'm getting dumber.
I feel like I can blame someone about what we just did, but it's not my fault.
I think it's probably American education.
It has to be America's fault.
You ran on...
Because we use the metric.
System.
Yeah, it's fucked.
I saw you ran your, not first, but since it's hit a fucking hundo degrees, you ran a,
dude.
Did you run?
How far did you run?
Two and a half miles.
Yeah, that's about, that's about a.
It's hell.
Yeah.
No, it's hell.
Bro, running in this heat.
It, it's hard to, like, it's hard to, like, explain to people that aren't.
It makes it so much harder to, like, breathe, too.
usually it's just my legs that are like
my legs are slow me down
my conditioning's fine I can breathe fine
but when I ran in this fucking heat
how is it so hot
so humid and so bright
I feel like it shouldn't be all three
so bright it's so bright
especially maybe in friscus in
in frisco it's all like
light pavement like white pavement
so like you I come out of my
There's not buildings and...
Like this.
I'm like, what the fuck?
I'm running like this.
Oh, I used to come out of the Emerson
after being in my Addy room for four days straight
and just come out to the summer.
You just start screaming?
Dude, it was fucking insane.
Dude, like, I hit a mile.
And I remember at a mile, I was like,
I can't stop before two miles.
I can't.
Yeah, that's some loser shit.
I stopped before.
four or two miles.
I'm saying like,
you're saying for other losers.
Like,
if you're not in the Texas area,
yeah,
I mean,
I did the same thing.
I think it was like,
I don't fucking know
what the tent was,
but I just know I look down
at my weather app
and it says like,
feels like 108.
Yeah.
And then I think I ran,
I think I ran three miles.
And then one week I ran five miles.
I've been,
I've sort of since the heat's gotten worse,
I'm not going to lie,
I've slowed down.
I got sick after Vegas and then the heat hit.
And so, dude, I feel like I've taken at least three steps backwards.
Oh, yeah, we didn't have a fly cast last week.
Yeah, because I was sick.
It really, dude, it really, I'm still not 100%.
Like fever and shit?
I don't fucking know.
I thought I had COVID, but I tested twice and I was negative.
So I don't, I don't know.
Like, that's how I felt.
You know that feeling, do you remember when you had COVID and like every once in a while?
Like it just felt like you couldn't like your like your like you knew you had COVID you were like
airy yeah it didn't feel like it didn't feel like you were really sick it felt like you kind of
felt like a fever you felt like you felt a fever but like you couldn't really like I don't know it was
just like felt COVID-y yeah that's how it felt you think it was like the typical gamer the zeta
variant think it was the gamer fucking just dirty just sickness events
Vegas flu.
Yeah.
Were you drinking,
gambling?
Yeah, drinking and gambling.
Lus when not running and being a loser.
And probably eating like shit.
Yeah.
Because you can be vegan and still eat like shit.
I learned that.
Because in Vegas,
there's like 20 vegan restaurants that are all like burger joints.
So I was crushing those.
I could see Vegas having some good-ass vegan spots.
I've been watching,
and Daniel McGrano's been vlogging,
daily vlogging.
Who?
You probably know who he is.
The poker guy.
Oh, yeah.
He's been vlogging every day
for the World Series of poker
and he lives in Vegas
and he's vegan.
So I've been watching them
just for like to see what food he gets.
Do you win, lose,
gamut?
Wait, you won how much?
One point?
Yeah, 1.4 million.
I forgot.
We haven't talked about that, have we?
I've been a shit.
People thought it was.
I've been a shit poster lately.
because I got sick and I got super bored while I was sick
so you should have saw what I posted now
I'll let you finish but yesterday I was just sitting over there
bored when you guys were all like talking back there
oh yeah and I just posted I just made a video and said this
didn't say a word just started recording panning the room
and then posted it and my caption was last day in optic
and then I made a video right after I was like I'm just kidding
I'm just so fucking bored
And then I was just like
Why did I just delete this shit?
Just delete it
Like people are gonna see
Like I saw who viewed it
See like Lottie snake bite
Fucking courage
I'm like let me just
These people probably think I'm a fucking freak
For posting that like
That just instantly deleted
But I was just like so fucking bored
So like shit and shit like that will come out
That's so funny that Lottie and snake bite viewed it
You know they were like
They're just sitting there to you
Like when you see the first
vid. It's like, wait,
what the fuck? Is he?
Wait, so what were you saying? You've been
a shit poster. Been a shit poster.
So, in, we go, I've been super
into poker for the past couple months.
So when, during the
during Cod Champs
is
during the World Series of Poker Month. So there's
two ballrooms in Vegas that
that's where there's poker games
going on all times. And in the
lobby of one of the rooms
is like a photo op. It's a
poker table
big stack of fake money
cards on the table so you can act like
you just won the World Series of poker
so I was like
oh Alexis can you take a picture of me
I held up two queens because that was what was on the table
and I tweeted out
just won my first bracelet
it's been a crazy day of poker
I just won $1.4 million
or the prize pool was $1.4 million
dollars
dog
and so people who know me like
relatively at all
we're like
ha ha ha
yeah
and for some reason
it must have gotten
retweeted by the right people
and people were like
holy shit dude
like congratulations
and I don't think
people really understand
like what the World Series
of poker is
that must be the underlying
Hitch doesn't just show up
you don't just show up
and win up racely
like that would be like me
tweeting out like
just one caught chance
just one guy
Hey guys, just won the Super Bowl.
Yeah, exactly.
Thought I'd go to this little like a...
Just won this.
Saw a football tournament going on.
Just won the Super Bowl.
Like, that's the equivalent of it.
So I thought it was so outrageous that like...
Because there are people that have dedicated their lives to poker.
And even besides that, there are people who've dedicated their entire hobby life to poker.
They've never even sniffed close.
to a final table at a
World Series of poker tournament.
Like, not even close.
Like, Daniel Nogranu, the guy
who has considered one of the best
poker players ever, hasn't
won a bracelet in 10 years. Like, that's how
hard it is to win a bracelet.
It's relatively
impossible.
And so when I tweeted it out, I just
assumed, I guess it's because I've been
so into poker and I
forgot that like a lot of people
don't know how big it is.
So I was just like
Like you know people will get it
People will be like ha ha funny funny
But it is
It was interesting how many people
Saw that they thought I won
1.4 million dollars and hit me up immediately
Like yo congratulations pro
Like this is crazy
And I was like man now that I got money
Like I'm like
It's not real money
But like now that I got money people are hitting me up
Yeah
Now just imagine if you actually
I actually won money
Fucking
yesterday
I don't know
this definitely
I don't think
was as bad as
yours
but whenever I
said the
cod roster
or whatever
people were like
no I'm pretty sure
he's trolling
but like
is he
is he trolling
like I can see
honestly with the way
YouTube is
or they're switching
to YouTube now
like I could honestly
see this being better
for the
like shit like that
I was like
dude
I was surprised
the flank
even fucking tweeted
tweeted it
oh I'm not
Gersh
well I guess
Gersh will do
First off, how the fuck they get that?
I'd like...
Gersh is good at what he does
because he will get clicks.
Like, it's not like I'm sitting there
with 2K viewers.
Yeah.
And it's like, of course, some people in the cod community
or a lot of people in the cod community
are in there.
I'm like streaming it.
I think at the time it was like two,
maybe 300 or something.
Yeah.
And it's just like,
fucking someone just says,
The flank just tweeted out your clip.
I'm like, oh my fucking.
The thing is I didn't even like backtrack
or like say I'm joking or,
or yeah because it's just like an obvious troll but then the flank tweets it and how they were
they're like he can't be serious is it is he and for those who don't even know what the fuck I'm
talking about what I say I said you said we were dropping the CDL team yeah the optics no I'm just
gonna say it like yeah like that's how I'm gonna leak something guys I don't even care anymore
yeah I'm just gonna say it and I probably shouldn't say this I probably shouldn't
say this.
But Optic's not going to be in the CDL next year.
I forget what I said after.
Like we're just going to focus on Halo Rocket League.
We're going to pick up a CS, use that money to pick up a CS team.
Scumps going to start hosting CS watch parties.
Like it's just like, it's just going to be bigger.
Then I like trolled about it for like two minutes and then just like kind of moved on.
People say the flank tweeted it.
Then Jake Lucky tweeted it.
And I was like, Jesus fucking Christ.
I need to start.
And then I had the master troll lined up.
Oh.
I choked.
I thought,
I was wondering because I know you're good enough at trolling.
To where I was like, okay, I saw a picture of like a monitor.
I was like, okay, you probably took a picture that then downloaded that the cellium picture.
And then.
And then I thought.
So what I was going to do is.
I don't know why this is this next pick, but I guess it's too blurry to even like see any.
Thank God it was, dude.
Oh, my God.
What could they even do with that?
I don't know, but I don't want to find.
I'm thinking my entire address is on there.
My home address.
Oh.
That would have sucked.
Yeah.
So anyone that didn't.
Yeah, so I replied to a, to a tweet where I was like, L.O.
Like, it was like, like, as if I was screenshoting Nick's tweet or text and said,
LOL, uh, hex is going to fire you, bro.
And I took a screenshot.
But at the bottom of like iPhone messaging, you can sometimes.
see your recent pictures.
So I had Atlas make a picture of,
of Selium in an optic jersey,
like holding up an optic jersey.
You had someone make that?
I thought it was an actual picture.
No,
no, no,
I had Atlas make it.
Dude,
imagine Celium seeing that?
It's just like,
what the fuck?
Because it look real.
Yeah,
so Celium's holding up an optic picture.
And so I went through and I deleted,
I had a picture of my ID,
just taken a picture
and I deleted that picture
because I deleted
and then I had a picture of like me
I was like a selfie of me
and I was like well that's kind of cringe
I don't want to post that
so I deleted it
but it would have been funny
but I was so keen
on getting the troll out
that I didn't look at the other picture
so there's a picture of like
my monitor playing only up
there's a picture of selium
in an optic jersey
which why do you have a picture
of you playing only up
because I broke my monitor
playing only up
because I was so mad
And then the last picture fucking I'm so dumb is a picture of me a selfie of me holding up my ID.
Literally my government ID.
And it's because I had to do it for a website.
You have to like confirm your, you know, like some website like that.
And I tweeted it.
I tweeted it, dude.
And then I was like, and then somebody hit me up.
was like, yo, your ID's in that picture.
And I was like, dude, I saw it.
And I was just like, my fucking heart rate, dude, my heart.
True.
And, and so luckily it's a picture like kind of far away.
And I deleted it quick enough where I don't think like it was in the bottom.
Yeah, it wasn't, really, it wasn't able to be processed.
And you had to.
And so you can't see anything.
But if it had been the other picture, it was a close up shot of my ID.
every my ID my government ID number wanted to get that out so bad I wanted to get it out so it was a
perfect troll first off you texted me saying like crying like laughing face yeah ex is gonna fire you bro
and I was like sitting there and I saw it immediately and I was like oh you saw it immediately
I was like Hitch wouldn't I tried to I tried to get it yeah well you said that to me and then you
said like immediately after troll text by the
troll text.
And I was just like,
all right.
Like,
obviously you're,
it's not like you're believing
what I'm saying.
Right,
right,
right.
That was just like,
kind of confused.
So then I just sent you
the picture of A's.
I was like,
I don't know how to respond to this.
So here's A's.
Have a look at this pig.
And then I see your,
I was like,
something has to be like going on with this.
Because Hitch would not just like send me that.
And then I see your fucking tweet.
And I'm like,
oh my God,
that is so good.
Dude,
such a good tweet.
And then I text you out, like, you know what would be even better?
It's like, you deleted it because people would be like, oh shit, he didn't mean to.
And like, that was obviously the whole fucking setup.
Yeah.
And then you did delete it.
I had to delete it because my ID was on it.
I wonder if it made people.
I did see some people were like he deleted the tweet too.
So you don't know.
You never know.
You never know.
Some people caught on though.
Like, yeah, he deleted his tweet because his fucking ID was in the other picture.
That's why he deleted his tweet.
I was just it was I told Alexis about that
I was like I did the dumbest shit today
and it's funny because like
I was talking about it on stream because I did it
while I was on stream and I was like
oh my God and I couldn't tell
Blake and George what had happened
so it looked like I was acting
like oh I had to delete the tweet because I leaked
Celium and you did all this on stream
yeah that's probably why it's because
that's probably why I didn't like I wasn't close
oh that was so
well Rastermania is about to be a shit show
so dude it's a
Dude, it's about to be a shit show.
So we've officially, I guess, released or whatever.
Yeah, Ghostie and Hooke.
Ghostie and Hooke.
Great guys, by the way.
Yeah.
Love those guys.
Ghostie is one of the most interesting people I've ever met.
Yeah.
He's, he's, bro, his eavesdrop with Hex was, I really enjoyed it.
So good.
Didn't you say that every once in a while at 3 a.m?
He'll DM me some shit.
Yeah, same.
Like, I remember I said something about Hixie being like,
like me just appreciating Hixie's play style.
I don't even,
I think I said it on the optic podcast with like scump.
And I was like,
why is Toronto?
I think I was just like,
Toronto seems like a really good team.
Like the way,
like multiple times I saw Hixie like maybe a little week,
but he'll just straight up hide behind the,
anyone else is fucking overheating and just like jumping out
and trying to like shit on the kid.
But Hixie will just,
Hixie would just like play it slow
hide mine the fucking pillar
literally not move and just like play his life
perfectly whereas like 95% of other players
would like jump out and try to contest that because
it's like they think there's no other choice
but he'll just he'll just fucking sit behind the wall
and like I said that on a podcast
how I like appreciate that kind of play style
because it's like in Halo I felt like
I kind of played like that
and I think like that's why we won 09
nats is because we adapted that sort of play style
of just like
making it really not
every kill's of work
like they have to earn
every kill like even if it just
is going to take them a second or two longer
but like not jumping back out
just hiding like you're not going to jump out
and shit on him just be annoying and sit behind the wall
and make him walk to you and come get that kill
so I just appreciated that place down
and then like go see him up he was like breaking down the whole
why that is why
Toronto's good
and like they all or like at least like hicksey understands that and that's why they place as good as they did
that's why they became a good team and shit like that i forget what else gossey is talk to me about
but point being gonna miss gosie i like that team they didn't place as good as uh i especially like
hook every time i've fucking seen the man he is like smiling oh yeah he's a joy to be around i hope yeah he's
definitely a joy to be around i hope yeah he's definitely a joy to be around
I hope they land
And I
A lot of people were bummed about the ghosty decision
And I mean
I don't
I'm not a fucking part of it
But I'm sure that the players
You know
Have their reasonings and the coaches
And the staff have their reasonings
But regardless
What ghosty was able to do
Coming from challengers getting on
Fucker came from challenger
Getting on
You know the most
The team with the most eyeballs
Might not be the best team
Get it going on two
a crazy month long run
getting second twice
one with a huge
loser's bracket run
and then get five owing twice
online like that's incredible
like I hope that Ghostie's able to
I hope he gets on a
T1 team has to
I feel like there's so there's
not some average people but like there's
there's a fucking team he can be on
three org squad wiped so
he's got to get on one of those
L.A. is squad wiped.
Mutineers have squad wiped.
L.A. Squad wipe?
Yeah, L.A. Thieves.
Yeah, yeah.
I thought they fucking...
That just seems like a team that would, like...
Stick together.
Yeah, I just...
I'm walking, retired.
I wanted some more tears out of him.
I think he was about to.
I didn't watch it.
I did...
Oh, you haven't watched it?
I think it was...
I think it's...
Unless there's a longer version,
it was only like a minute and a half clip on Twitter.
really like i don't i guess they don't i think there's a youtube video really i think so i don't know if they
do do they do any sort of like doc process yeah yeah they do something called zero two one hundred
but i saw his not enough tears um but i've always not always but i've sort of called octane
just like the cod version of me besides like placing how are you hixie and octane
I mean, that's just sort of how it goes.
It's like you saying, I'm Shaq and Steph Curry.
I'm Shaq and Kobe.
It's like two completely different roles.
Like Octay was just like a sort of a slower player, really good shot, really good smart.
Right.
And that's just kind of how I was.
I get that.
And it's like he just, he wouldn't necessarily get that respect he deserved.
But he's got one world's under his belt.
So it's just sad to see.
the cod version of me go he also has like 20 chips i think it was like
11 or something
actually i might have just made that up but i saw a tweet about how many he had
it was more than me but i just you know i didn't have those opportunities that like
right um but yeah i wanted i wanted to see more tears i think he was about to cry more
in the video as he seemed to
a little sad.
Like, I want the whole
breakdown, sit in the chair,
it's dark.
I didn't get to see as much
as I wanted.
He just got up quick,
got it over with.
Yeah.
So Octane's retiring.
What else is happening?
Thieves is wiped.
Who else is wiped?
Mutineers.
Rocker.
Mutineers.
And someone else is
wow.
Yeah.
There's like four teams
of like completely squad
wiped. So you got to think
Ghostie ends up on one of those. Apparently
the
Ily is coming back so that
some team was probably going to build
around Ily.
Oh, what I want to say is people were
upset about ghosty
being dropped.
Right.
I could have swore
apparently
I watched the series, but I guess I didn't
play close attention to stats. And he'd like have good
stats at worlds or something.
People were saying like champs, like Ghostie was the only one performing.
Yeah, he did really well.
Like is that really true?
Yeah, he did really well at champs.
I feel like I'd have to rewatch it.
But like he doesn't deserve it.
He doesn't deserve to get jobs because how well he played a champs.
But like I swear in the beginning when they first formed and like throughout the season,
like at least like statistically, I feel like they definitely needed an IGL like
ghosty on the team.
And I bet he's a super smart player.
Yeah.
And I feel like he
He was what they needed
They just in place is good
But like I swear people were like
Kind of shitting on him
In the beginning
And then like after champs
It seems like they like
Just switch sides so quick
To like being team ghosty
Then I'm team ghosty as well
But as always
Cod fans are
Cod fans are
I was like aren't you guys like
Kind of saying some shit
Like I remember watching a match
And hook
Dashy Shotsy
are all like statistically just like either like plus two
right neg one plus four then like go see's like negate and everyone's just like
shitting on shotsie or not shotsy go see that's just how cod fans are like I swear you guys
are like semi shitting it's like a day to day basis like that's that's how people are
that's how people are with I mean at one point it was it was rumored that draza was going
to join that was like what some article tweeted draws is going to be on the
team and immediately
the response
was overwhelmingly
negative.
I feel like that's how it?
Ew.
No.
And that was
a response you should expect.
That was a first five
hours.
And then you check the Reddit and Twitter
the next day.
Honestly though?
Dude, it's
it's crazy.
You can predict it.
Immediately the switch is insane.
Yeah.
Immediately.
And it's funny because like,
Draza,
like we were saying.
It's like,
if Draza is,
is on the market,
he's a top three AR,
he would take Optic to the next level.
They have,
it's a no-brainer they have to pick him up.
It's crazy how,
it's a no-brainer.
It's crazy how quick it flips.
Yeah.
And Cod is just,
it's weird.
It's funny how they,
how Cod fans just pick,
pick,
like people that are like,
they just make it work for,
yeah.
Like,
if you're an optic fan and someone could maybe join
an optic. It's like, well, all right, we can't, let's forget about how much we hate him.
Because maybe this could work and they just like convince himself of how it would work out because
it would benefit their team that they like. It's just funny. It's like, and I'm, the people
are like, he's the villain. No one would ever appreciate him on Optic or like no one
would ever like him. I'm not, I can't cheer for Optic if Dras is on the team. And I'm like,
they, these motherfuckers did not live through the Crimsex complexity days. If,
if that's the case.
People hated Krem.
Like hated him.
The way people feel about aches, people felt about Krem.
And people don't remember.
I feel like did people forget or did they just not,
maybe they just didn't live through those days.
But like,
the Nate and Scump versus Krim and Hector and Ekem and Eke's beef was real.
It was like, it wasn't like,
Nate did an interview on Kempstar about it.
Like, that's how real it was.
And you can handle draza flexing on stage.
Like, if that's the kid, if that's what it came down to, you'd be able to handle it.
And it's funny.
Like, people hate Draza for flexing on stage and talking shit, but they love Scrappy.
And Scrappy flexes on stage and talk shit after he wins.
That's just, I would like to see someone like, I wonder how it would work.
Because optics never had, I guess maybe cringe.
him, but Optics never had like that
shit talker.
It's always been like good guy scump.
We all love Formy.
Yeah.
Oh, dude.
Formal, not on Optic, would be evil.
You know how much shit formal he used to talk?
Really?
You know how much shit, he, dude.
I mean, I know from like Halo days he gets, he's...
Dog.
He'll definitely...
The shit I've heard formal say.
It's like...
I feel like he's never done that publicly, you, did he?
He's done it a few times.
Really?
There's a couple of shit.
There's a couple things they envision I had to cut.
And there's a couple.
But it's not like on stage, right?
Or like, in an interview or listening and stuff?
Yeah.
Matt used to let it fly.
He doesn't, he really does it anymore.
Obviously, the times have changed.
There becomes a, there's a point in time where it's like this.
Like, all right, sit down.
The only person who can do that and be ancient is Clayster.
Like, all right, Clay, just let him.
He's old now.
Let him keep going.
Cricky old man
But everyone else
Like come on
We're playing games
I would like to see how it would work
If someone like that was
Like a draza
Was on optic of how
Like some sort of shit talker
Yeah
I think we need a shit talker
We haven't a shit talker in so long
Once Seth became
You know
Calm
It was like
Yeah
Him informal
Yeah
It's weird thinking about Seth like that
Because like
Obviously he's like
The nicest fucking guy
and then like on stage fucking screaming at people.
I remember there's like some tournament,
bro, those were the fucking things.
Some tournament where like him and formal,
immediately they win and they're not daffing each other out.
They win and they immediately look at the other team
and they're in there.
And it's funny, like thinking about formal like that now
because formal doesn't do.
Formal doesn't do that anymore.
Gets up, Gigi's.
And lose.
Gets up Gigi.
Dude, I will never forget when I realize
that formal's not like that anymore.
is, and there's nothing wrong with it,
it doesn't make you a better player.
It just becomes a, I don't know what it is,
but there just comes a time where it's like,
it's, you find doing it yourself
is just like a little cringe.
There's a,
NYSL in Cold War champs,
NYSL is playing Optic Chicago.
And Clay is berating our team.
Like, every,
after the hard point,
he stands up and is talking shit,
to all of us
between every
round of S&D
he's talking shit
and then we beat them
in control
pretty handedly
and Matt stands up
and goes like this
Clay
and I was like
I was like
alright so Matt just
doesn't do that anymore
because if that would have been
the dynasty team
in Clay
and Clay would have been
talking all that shit
and then we beat Clay
the whole arena
would have heard Matt
but I remember Matt
I'm sure
someone can find
clip. Matt goes like this. Clay.
And I'm maybe getting the like map count
mixed up. But the response back to Clay just wasn't that like
prime formal. Not prime formal, but that old school formal
because Matt's still in his prime. He just won a fucking world championship.
But which is crazy. Yeah. But like
that like shit talk era is I think I think I
miss it. Because Shotsie's not going to talk shit.
Like Bruce, Bruce.
Bruce
They're like talk shit out at their stations
In their mics
Right
Bruce can talk shit on
But no one's
Have you seen that clip of Kismet
The the series of photos
Shout out to that photographer
By the way
I wish I knew his name
Like off the top of my head
But somebody took a
A collage of photos
Like rapid fire
And then put them all together
So it looks like kind of like a scrapbook
And it's him
Him and Scrappy
We were going back and forth
At Champs
and they five owed
them and at one point
Kismet stands up
and it's a series of pictures
and he goes,
you see that,
that trophy,
it's mine.
And he's standing up on state,
I'm getting chills.
You see that trophy,
it's mine.
That shit goes,
you haven't seen that?
Uh-uh.
Dude,
it goes hard.
It's just,
it's just pictures of him
pointing at the Cod champs trophy
and then pointing at himself
and saying,
it's mine.
This shit goes crazy
And Y went fucking crazy
Yeah
I'm glad to see my boy Skies
Said this like a hundred times
I used to play like ghost wagers
Dollar wagers
I'd be like yo let's play
I'll pay for your fucking dollar
Please fucking carry me
Yeah
It's good to see Skies fucking win
I just fucking nasty
That team's kind of fucking nasty
That's what dude
I didn't even know who like
Ismet was
And I was just fucking dominating
Of course, Hydra's a fucking beast.
Priest's, no one fucking mentions, like,
dude, no one mentions this squad,
and then they just fucking win.
Priests, I've, is that priest,
that's not Priest's first chip, is it?
Oh, it might be his first chip.
His first win ever?
No, no, no, his first, sorry, not his first chip.
World's?
His first ring.
Is it his first ring?
Fuck, man.
Think so.
That's how long I've been watching the shit.
Doesn't even like,
but are you looking for the scrapbook?
I'm trying to find the scrapbook.
because you gotta see it.
All right, Cod's gonna be
a fucking shit show.
Is there anything else
happening in the world?
I think we're good.
Anyone getting canceled this week?
Anybody get canceled?
I haven't been canceled yet.
Have you been canceled?
Um,
don't think so.
I think so.
Probably.
All right, guys.
Well, thank you so much
for watching the flycast.
We fly.
We cast.
We,
we live.
Oh yeah, that's gonna be put that on a fucking t-shirt.
We're gonna have merch soon.
We are.
Which I'm excited about.
The only maybe flycash drop ever.
So you're gonna have to get this one.
Definitely.
Definitely gonna have to cop.
Flycast album of the week.
I'm gonna keep it simple.
First off, we fucking choke and never fucking remember this shit.
And I wasn't gonna remember it, but it somehow popped in my head.
But I wanted to get like an ace.
or a lethal
flycast,
but I'm gonna just
forget every week.
I'm gonna keep it simple
this week.
I'm gonna go
just because this is
the wave I've been on
and I hope I haven't
said this album yet
but Traps sold
by Bracin Tilley.
Damn!
Because,
and I thought like
everyone fucking heard this,
I was with my friend
Eli who I'm like
and on a kickball team with
and I was driving
playing Bracin Teller.
He was like,
I might have to add this
to my playlist.
I was like,
you know,
fucking hurt. He was like, I know of it, but I like haven't really listened to. Oh my God.
What the fuck? This outtrap sold by Bryce and Taylor is classic. It's like one of the only
classics of like the past 10 years. It's close. It's a absolute. Every it's a, you play,
you start with track one. Every song. Every song. You start with track one and you just fucking let it play.
It's like bang or slaper, love maker, fuck music. And it all falls into. It's, it's, it's, it's
It all falls right into every track, the way it ends, the way it begins.
From start to finish, just a...
God, till a...
It's like a perfect album.
He could...
If he never made another album, even if he doesn't release anything up to that par ever again,
he will always have traps.
Always.
He can perform it till he dies.
Until he dies.
I think that might be what he does.
Yeah.
To be honest.
So I'm assuming there's not a...
assuming a lot of people have heard it
but I think
there's a lot of people that
I haven't really listened to it like that
I have to pee so bad
thank you guys so much for watching
the flycast episode 81
god tillah
true
Matt Craig with outro
Thank you.
