Welcome to the Flycast.
This is brought to you by a sponsor we are currently looking for if you're willing to pay a stupid amount.
Not necessarily stupid.
It's probably affordable, but we'll take it.
But yeah, the Flycast is on SoundCloud, iTunes, and also.
the next YouTube channel.
It's weird seeing us on iTunes.
I don't know if it was weird for,
it was weird for me.
No, it is weird for iTunes.
It's pretty cool.
SoundCloud's like, you know,
the trashest of the trash can get on SoundCloud.
That is true.
That is true.
SoundCloud isn't trash,
but anyone can be on SoundCloud,
is what you're saying.
It's like the YouTube of music.
So what is our SoundCloud?
They just type in the Flycast.
The Flycast.
Yeah.
The Highcast.
flycast is the sound cloud and then for YouTube so if you went to soundcloud or
soundcloud.com slash would that be a thing yeah it's like soundcloud.com slash the
hyphen flycast yeah that's it iTunes you type in iTunes you just type in the flycast
the flycast the flycast is the name of the podcast are we the flycast so we just flycast I
I put it as the flycast because we've been saying the flycast.
Yeah, I don't think we've ever said flycast.
Welcome to flycast.
Yeah, doesn't go well.
We are flycast.
Yeah, no, we're the flycast.
The one and only, except there is another one out there on iTunes, which is crazy.
So yeah, welcome back.
Yeah, that's weird.
But before we get into that, welcome back to the flycast.
I have no idea what we're going to talk about today.
Yeah, me neither.
I mean, we already plug.
We're plugging our own plug.
We're plugging our own.
We're plugging our own podcast.
We're plugging our own plug in the plug.
Yeah.
It's kind of like the meme where the extension cord guy plugs the end of the extension cord into the socket.
Yeah.
We're plugging ourselves.
We are the plug.
Is that reverse plugging?
Did we just unplug our plug?
We've been saying it so much.
They've already clicked out.
We're reverse plugging.
All right.
So, yeah.
There is another flycast on iTunes.
I haven't, I haven't listened to it.
And they have a logo and everything.
Yeah.
And I think it, I honestly think it's a fishing podcast.
Don't click on that.
Make sure you get, make sure you click on the flycast with the outline of us.
Outline of two humans that look like maniac and hitch.
But if it was a fishing podcast, it would actually make a lot of sense.
The flycast.
flycasting is a type of fishing.
Yeah, that pissed me off.
Yeah.
Because I thought there shouldn't be another flycast.
Because it's who would think of flycast for a podcast.
Me, we already have better ratings.
I voted us.
I rated us a five.
So that's why we have two ratings?
Me and you.
Oh.
Just you and someone else.
Yeah.
Did they leave a review?
Do we have a review? I don't think so.
I don't know.
I think we might have a review.
Check.
I will. Check right now. I will check to see if we have a review. Just go to my Apple iPhone and click on the podcast app, which comes free with your iPhone as you buy one.
Yeah, you guys can listen to our podcast for free at any time just by downloading the iTunes app and typing in the podcast.
Five stars, 34 ratings.
34.
34.
We're still at five.
We're still at five.
That's the support I like seeing.
Wow.
Now somebody's going to hear that and they're going to be like,
well, I have to rate it one star or four star.
Yeah, of course.
They well, but.
Click, clack, click.
Karma works in mysterious ways.
It really does.
Might not come back around today.
Maybe not tomorrow.
Yeah, right here.
First review, Flycast, been, flycast lit, been here since episode number zero.
Let's go.
That's what.
So he was here.
before we even made.
That's what Richie said.
Well, Richie was here before we even made a flycast.
Thank you, Richie.
Because he said zero.
Episode zero.
So he was already, we're just waiting.
I think episode zero, the flycast was like me and you go and get Froyo in one of our vlogs.
And we're like, Sam, we should get a podcast.
And Richie was like, I'm here.
He was like, do you not, you've already had one.
Yep, I'm here.
I'm going to write a review.
Title, really cool podcast.
Exclamation point.
I listened to this podcast and it was very enjoyable.
Exclamation point.
You should listen to.
You should listen to.
Exclamation point.
Heart.
Heart. I think the heart is
going to be the end.
So it has been
six minutes
and we have not mentioned anything
besides our
own flycast that they're already listening to it.
I mean, so that's going to do it
for this episode of the flycast.
Wait, I got it something.
All right, what's up? I'm wearing a bandana.
Are you bringing it back?
I just realized something.
Remember you gave me something?
earlier.
Dude, that's weird.
Now that, remember what you gave me in your apartment?
Yes.
The last time, and I just happened to have the bandana with me.
Yeah.
And like, when I always wore a bandana, they kind of correlate.
It did.
The world loops together.
Everything fucking makes sense, man.
T.J. said it best.
The world is all about loops.
That's all.
The world is.
Did he say that?
Yeah.
Where?
Or where did he say that?
I mean, he says it all the time.
Yeah.
He said it in the person.
But I even named an episode of Vision the Loop because he lost a halo event by getting
they, NVS beat him from losers bracket.
And the last time that had happened was a year before that in a different tournament
where Envious beat them from losers bracket.
And he was like, he goes, he's just, everybody was pissed.
Obviously, Real 2 gets really heated.
when they lose and T.
And T.J is just sitting there
and he's like,
I knew it was gonna happen.
He was like, he was like,
I just feel like exactly
how I felt after season two.
The world is just loops, man.
It's just all a loop.
Yeah.
It's kind of, I mean, you can think of it,
like it's kind of true,
but also,
so many things happen
every single day that it's like,
of course, coincidences.
Yeah, of course.
Of course.
But also,
I don't know.
Like the world
like I don't know.
Stuff like car like do you think karma is real?
I don't I don't know if karma.
It's like it's something though.
It's like if you're like
I don't know.
You kind of get back what you give.
Yeah. I don't know if it's like
religious karma or spiritual karma that is actually a real thing.
I think it's just whatever you put out
will come back to you.
Like you can't just be.
like a shitty person in every aspect
and not expect shit to come back at you
or a nice person like you're obviously gonna
I don't know I wish I could think of this straight quote
that he said he said something like yeah I think it's
yeah it's a lyric like something like
I don't know just something about living
it was basically what we're talking about
I can't remember the quote at all but it was just like
something about living good
Like, if you live better, like, better things happen.
Like, if you, basically, if you pay your dues, like, if you, there's certain stuff you wake up every day and you know you should do.
You know you shouldn't eat that Snickers bar that you really want to eat.
You know you should exercise.
You know you should call your mom and say hi.
Yeah.
You know you should call Granny for the birthday card.
She got you or something.
and it's like
if you don't do those things
it's like there's
you don't really notice it
but like
you
it kind of like
I don't know
it might creep up on you
and make you not respect
yourself as much as you could
if you do all those things
life just seems to like
fall in place better
yeah
it's like good karma
yeah I mean I agree with that
but I wouldn't necessarily
I don't know.
I can't say like I believe in karma.
What goes around comes around.
But at the same time I kind of do.
But it's more of,
I just don't like the word karma.
I prefer like the universe is listening.
I don't like the word karma.
I don't like saying the word karma because that's just like a cliche.
It's just doesn't,
it's not deep enough.
It's too deep.
It's deeper than karma.
Than karma.
It's deeper than karma
The universe is listening
You do say that a lot
The universe is listening
Be careful what you say in it
J Electronica
The goat
That has no album out
He is
Dude is that the key
Not put an album out
Andre 3,000
J Electronica
What about Andre
He doesn't have an album
He doesn't have a solo album
only like three or four outcast albums and that's it
and he is the goat
he is your favorite rapper's favorite rapper
as you were just about to say
it's true though
I mean that's not even that much of a coincidence
because we've always said that
just like we say that about
wait what happened earlier
didn't it something happened
happened earlier to where we were like was it at the Mexican place yeah I remember I know I
know what you're talking about but I don't remember exactly what happened something happened
and we like both were about to say the exact same thing yeah and we're just like it hasn't
happened in a while there was oh it's because we're not fucking living to going to get food and
living together every day but it's like there was literally like three months there where it was
weird it was
dude
the optic
the optic podcast
what episode is that
um
I think it's the one
this is why we need a producer
because
we could instead of saying like
like stuff that we talk about
where people are like
what are they talking about instead of like going to
research it we could have
a producer here like switching
cameras and which we
will eventually do this or do that
like have a producer that in two
separate camera angles and then as we're talking about stuff we can have someone bringing the stuff up
yeah but anyways yeah one episode of the optic podcast the second biggest podcast and optic
one episode on there me and it's we're sitting beside each other on the couch and we both did
the exact same movement we both readjust ourselves yeah we both just like readjusting but the
way like when you watch it your brain like wonders like wonders what's going on because it's
literally like the same exact movement I don't know it's weird so it is it is super strange
what's going on um I mean like you were saying with the the we need a producer for the
flycast that's kind of what we've been looking to do for the optic podcast is get a better setup
and uh hopefully get to a point where we have
a producer, you know, doing the podcast live and then maybe even streaming it at a point.
And then having a literally just without being, being completely transparent, just kind of ripping up Joe Rogan and H3.
Do they just have like, I mean, that's just how it fucking goes.
It's just how it is now.
It's like, oh, that's pretty dope.
And it makes sense.
Yeah.
It would be much better than this.
Yeah.
That's better.
Yeah.
So I'm going to do that.
it's like playing a team and call of duty and you're like wow that setup works yeah but we can't
but we're not going to do that no we're doing that yeah we definitely are but uh it's just it's just
all about finding that person because i also don't know a lot about like video boards finding it
finding a place a room like we need like a we don't have a room yeah we don't we definitely don't
Like we can't just like get which which is what has been holding us back is like we the hitching maniac podcast we don't have a room in the optic like office.
We're just like using this when we do the podcast.
Do you want to do it at our apartment?
Like eventually would you like to do this at like our apartment?
Because it's getting to a point where I don't know.
And the setting obviously is very important.
It would be easy to set up.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think so as well.
I think I have I have everything I would like to just have a room where I'd never have to touch it
literally just want I mean I don't touch it anyways but the odds of that happening though
are pretty slim if you think about it I mean unless we unless we have a spot at hexus place
or there's a possibility there should be there's got to be some room in here that's like not
used there's not I promise you I promise you there's not we have two little rooms because
it's not just opt-ic gear.
I just need, I don't need, like, any space besides.
I just need to know I can do whatever with the room.
Dude.
And we don't have that.
That's the problem.
That sounds amazing.
I mean, we could honestly even set something up in, like, my office.
If you want, we could even, like, have in a complete section in my office dedicated for it.
That's why I was thinking.
that we could be able to do it at one of our apartments.
Yeah.
But it would be, I don't know, because it would be, I don't know, the sound would sound really.
It wouldn't sound bad, but it wouldn't be as good as this.
Dude, my new mic, I literally, I think I'm in love with my new mic for my, for my, I mean, not podcast, for my stream and everything.
I need to listen to it more.
I think, I think if we got another one of those.
mics and then and then I just had my laptop with me then we could literally
shoot wherever we could because all we need is two is an arm and two of those
spark mics and then I have my mix-in that makes it also I just blacked out I
heard nothing we should probably stop talking about text shit that we should that
we would we would talk about off podcast anyway yeah I don't know where I just
that'll be in I want to
I'm going to watch this back and like see where I just was for like 15 seconds.
I have no idea what just happened to me on the podcast as well.
Like either any podcast that I'm on like every once in a while I'll just like I'll be thinking.
And then I'm like, wow, whoever I'm with has been talking for like 45 seconds.
And I haven't listened to a single word that they've said.
But I've been I've been podcasting like a shit ton lately.
Excuse me
Excuse me
Thanks
Proceed
I've been podcasting like a shit time lately
Like it was the
We did the moving
Podcast with me
Hex and Bose
Then we did two episodes of the flycast
Then we did the optic podcast
Without Hex which goes live tomorrow
Which is going to be interesting
To see how people react
Yeah I wonder how they'll feel
With like the optic podcast
But it's really the flycast
But I feel like it had a little bit of a different vibe than the flycast usually goes.
Yeah, maybe.
I think so.
Yeah, I tried to be a little bit more.
Hex-y.
Hex-like, yeah.
And we talked about Hex for the first 30 minutes, so that'll boost his ego a little bit.
And then after that, I did like my own little Around the Bar podcast, and now here we are.
Oh, yeah.
Saw not really that, but I did see Post.
I just didn't click.
Thanks. That's what I do to all your videos.
Thanks.
I'm like, hey, he's uploading again.
Scroll right on past.
Pamash told me today at dinner that him and Spratt are going to start a podcast.
Really?
Yeah.
That'll probably go pretty well.
He's like, we're going to do a podcast.
And in the background, it's just going to be a green screen.
I was like, for real, man?
He was like, yeah.
So at the beginning of each podcast, I'm going to be like,
you know james where you want to where you want to go today he's going to be like can we talk about
this uh the beach what like like what they're going to do yeah i don't think he cares all right
it's not like there goes his he was just like trying to save ideas first well now he has to do it that's
the good thing true if i talk about it he has to do it so at the very beginning of their podcast
james is going to be like i think we should go to the beach i think we should go to the beach the beach
The beach.
The beach.
And then Pimage at a click of a button.
They're at the beach.
Green screen.
That'll be cool.
I'm sure Pam can pull that off at the click of a button.
I don't know, but Pam, Pam, Pam, Pam can, uh.
That's actually kind of funny.
That's how we, remember our ideas of certain.
Wow, did he take that idea from us?
I don't know.
You can't really take ideas if you never capitalized.
Let's just actually cap, like when we, I don't want to talk about it.
I don't really want to say it because we're just probably not going to do it anyways.
But we had, that was kind of like our idea.
It's like have a different theme for each podcast.
Have a different setting.
But imagine getting to like 300 podcasts deep and we're just like, what do we?
Like, what the hell do we do now?
Like dress up as today.
We're just like dinosaurs.
Yeah.
It's just like making no sense at this point.
Do we just have those blow up T-rexes?
Yeah.
Just fucking whatever we want to be.
But yeah, I think I don't want to get burnout on podcasts, I guess is what I'm saying.
But I don't know.
I think talking is something that I'm always, I don't know if I'm good at it,
but it's something that I enjoy doing.
Well, I think you just like having a thing to, that's why you did,
that's why you started your around the bar thing.
It's because you just, you like blowing off steam, I guess.
I think I do.
Instead of working out, you podcast.
Dude, maybe you're right.
Maybe I just have all of these, like, thoughts and frustrations in my mind.
And I think for some reason, maybe it's the narcissism in me.
I think I'm important enough to share my ideas with other people.
Yeah.
I get, I don't know.
I get, um, not insecure, but like anti, what's like anti-narcicist?
Like is
Maybe
But like sometimes I'm just like I feel corny vlogging
I'm just like
Why am I pointing at camera at myself?
Yeah like ooh I'm so
Look to me I'm at Target
Why the fuck should people watch me at Target?
Yeah
No and I think that's
I think that's a big like part of it
Is that you have like all these like tens of thousands of people
that watch your videos
but then so easily there could be billions of people that would be like,
like how could you,
like what makes you so important?
Like,
why do you think you have the right to do this?
Yeah,
but sometimes that's just my,
how I feel right now.
Yeah.
Sometimes I wake up and I'm like,
I am that fucking guy.
I'm the fucking man.
This is what I was born to do.
Like,
I get,
I get it.
I would watch me.
Yeah.
I'm the only person I would watch
There's nobody else like me on YouTube
Yeah
And that's when like shit is going like exciting
Like when you're traveling when you're doing stuff
And when you're hitting that stride with blogs
There's like yeah like people are
I bet you people are like excited to watch this
And then sometimes you're like I'm going to target
Five days straight and vlogged it
I never get hype about that
No I know that's I'm saying I wouldn't get hype about it
Like the sixth day, you wake up and you're like, what the hell?
I'm like on a vlog.
Yeah, that's where I'm at literally right now.
Yeah.
It's because I haven't, which makes me wish I kind of went to Nola.
But at the same time, I would have just got drunk.
Yeah.
And like not really evolved anyways.
I have a little point and shoot camera because it's so super hard for me to blog at events.
So I'm going to try my best to, you know, at least it'll be a little bit easier.
because trying to vlog with the same camera that I shoot vision with is like impossible.
Because then at the very end you have to go through all the clips and sort out what was your blog.
It's super hard.
So if I have a little point in shoot, I carry in my pocket, I can whip it out whenever.
Like hopefully that'll make things better.
And I don't know.
Yeah, right now I'm at a point where I've, I'm on the same.
And it's not a bad schedule, but or not necessarily schedule.
like my day to day
what I do
is like the same shit every day
like I'll kind of
wake up
now I wake up
like I'm good
I wake up like nine or ten
go to the gym with PJ
after that
if I vlog the day before
I'll edit
and then I'll get that up
then after that
maybe go eat out somewhere
with the bros.
Then after that,
maybe come to the office and like see what's going on.
Yeah,
or go to the office earlier if I'm needed for something like a podcast
or to talk to people about stuff.
Yeah.
A meeting, whatever.
And then go to Target and like pick up a few things.
Then go home, play a little Nintendo Switch.
That's true.
Getting bad.
Is there any way to record the switch?
I don't know.
That would be a really good video.
Yeah, I don't know.
Like optic.
I thought about streaming because me and Aaron were at Target and I was thinking about getting 2K for the switch.
Yeah.
I was like, if I'm going to get 2K, it's going to, I might as well just set up my PlayStation.
Yeah.
In the living room.
Oh, because you don't have a setup in your room?
Like you don't have a.
It's there.
It's just not like.
plugged in and set up.
But I was thinking of like just making the streaming from the living room randomly.
If like you come over and we're just like all on the couch.
I think people would love that.
Yeah, they probably would.
Yeah.
But that would be, you know, pretty rare.
Yeah.
Kind of like my streams now.
What was the last time you streamed?
It was before we moved.
Yeah.
And before we moved, I don't know how long it was.
It's been months for sure.
I remember you streamed like two of the throwback tournaments.
Oh, yeah.
And maybe streamed a little, like a randomly between that.
Yeah, but it's been, it's been months.
Yeah.
And I have, I don't know.
I, I want to stream.
I just don't want to actually play a video game.
Like, I don't know.
I'm telling you.
It's not a turn on.
It doesn't get me going.
I'm trying to like travel and shit.
Yeah.
I get where your head's at because I think it's a little bit of subconscious like I can't afford to play video games again.
I can't afford to get good.
And that's like the only thing I like.
Yeah.
It was like the competitive asses.
I never liked the video game.
I liked competing.
You like beating other people.
Yeah.
And that's that's kind of how I always am.
That's why it's so hard for me to play some of these games that, like, isn't really, like, a competitive game.
Like, it's super hard.
Like, even Mario Kart sometimes drives me crazy because it's, it has an aspect of that's just super, super duper random.
Yeah.
But obviously, Mario Kart's an extreme example because it's still super fucking fun.
It's fucking Nintendo.
But I don't know.
I honestly, dude, and I'm going to say this, as a friend, I think you.
would love Fortnite and I think your viewers I like Fortnite I think your viewers would fall in
love with your fortnight content but I think you would get addicted so I think you need I think you need
to play Fortnite with strictly like like just PJ Fortnite with PJ Optic Place Fortnite
stream or not even stream play for two hours get off edit it throw it up people like like like
literally you can big tee it for a little bit I think people would like that and then it would maybe
rejuvenate your my next big tea
I just need to find
Let's not get carried away with what I was trying to say
Oh great here he comes
You'll never be Big Tee you piece that shit lazy fuck
Welcome to the Optic Placast
Episode 11 Maniac the next Big T
Yeah right
If I made that the title
It'd get an insane
It wouldn't get a like
Hex's vlog that one time
When Zius came over and he said
said the new, oh no, it was Kenny.
Kenny came over and said the new big timer question mark because Kenny was staying in a
Big T's old room.
People don't play with Big T's.
Just because of the title, I've never felt so scared of like our own fan base.
Hex texted me and he was like, what the fuck is going on?
I was like, to be honest, like, as for me and like knowing how YouTube works, I didn't think
it was that bad of a YouTube title.
Obviously, he's staying in Big T's room.
Is he the next Big T?
that where legends are born?
No, you are not allowed to talk about.
You are not big tea.
You cannot compare him to any other person.
And they shall never be duplicated.
I look at Will like whenever he comes over, I'm like, what did you do?
And he was like, well doesn't fucking.
Well just like lives.
He's like, I don't know, but I'm not complaining about it.
I think, yeah.
That's funny.
Just fucking, what's weird is I've lived with him for, I think, I've said this a few times, but I lived with him for like three years.
And like, I saw people that didn't live there more.
Damn.
Like, he just like always, he just always, he just always, I think he just always had goals.
Like he was never just like bored.
Yeah.
Like he always had like, he just knew what he was doing.
And like now you just kind of fucking seeing it blossom.
I made a joke whenever he was here.
We were going through all the scuff house stuff that's just piled in the warehouse.
He said something and I was like, yeah, Nick just wants it all burned.
And he was like, why?
And I was like, because Nick hated the scuff house at the end, like just joking around.
And he was like, he was like, oh, damn, I didn't think it was that bad.
I was like, for real?
He's like, yeah, but 60-50, I hated that place.
Really?
I was like, what?
He was like, I hated the yellow walls and my the TV was like not working.
He was like, I hated my bed and I didn't even have a closet.
He was like, I felt like a prison.
He was like, I couldn't wait to get out of there.
Damn.
That's how I felt about.
Am I the big tea of what?
Are you the big tea of the skull?
I'm the big tea of one, two, three, five.
So that would mean this is your year if we're going by that.
Damn, it's all a loop.
Yeah, it's all loop.
Big T won a national championship in 2004.
You won one in 2009.
He hated the scuff house.
He hated a 60-50.
You hated the scuff house.
So this is your year to blossom on YouTube.
Now you just have to somehow make a lot of money by doing stocks.
Stocks and stuff.
Which?
What are stocks?
I don't know.
I don't know anything about it.
And it actually is pissing me off.
Because everyone is into it and it's like, shut up.
Like, you're probably making.
not enough to talk about.
Yeah, unless you're making Big Tee money.
And Big T.
And he doesn't even talk about it.
Big T is tiny in comparison.
Big T was going up against people on Wall Street.
He was like, you have to wake up at this time
because this is when Wall Street wakes up.
And I was like, what?
Dude, weren't you just playing video games?
And Flameshords trying to, is on that.
So is Snakebite.
Like, yeah.
Well, Snakebite, like, I would trust Snakebite with my money.
Yeah.
I would say, here, you can take.
20% of whatever we make.
But I wouldn't,
I would trust Will.
I would trust Will and PJ. That's it.
Yeah. And we're talking about Opta.
Yes. Yeah. Which Mike, no. We don't trust you.
Sorry, Mike.
With our, with stocks.
No offense.
And now there's like Bitcoin, which is like,
this is like make believe stock.
I don't know. I don't know anything.
And the thing is, is like,
I thought Bitcoin was just a stock that you
could invest in.
Bitcoin.
No,
bit,
well,
yeah,
it is,
I believe,
I don't know,
Bitcoin is an online currency.
This is,
Bitcoin is something that you can use online as currency,
but it's also a company that you can put stock in.
So as people,
more people use Bitcoin and buy Bitcoin,
then their stock goes up and then you make real money off of what you invested into
the company.
I think that could be,
that could be wrong.
But I don't,
I don't, I just, this is the stuff they don't teach you in college.
They don't teach you this and.
They don't teach you anything.
They don't teach you anything.
They don't teach you.
But what they do teach you,
I don't know about college.
Which is the outline of US states, then you forget by the time you're trying to learn all this real stuff.
And then you get roasted by everyone on the YouTube comments because you didn't know what your own state looked like.
You.
That's you.
Yeah.
That was me.
Can I explain that?
Nope.
Okay.
Yes.
All right.
So, uh, right.
Right before.
We put out the trivia video.
Aaron goes, I'm going to mess with people.
I'm going to start flipping states upside down.
So it's not just, it's not just I'm showing you the state.
Like, I'm trying to make it harder.
Like, I'm going to put Texas sideways.
Bad idea.
It's like, damn, you're going to put that.
I was like, damn.
I'm like, I don't even know the states to begin with.
Like, obviously.
Yeah.
Nobody did.
Nobody our age knows them.
I was asking everyone around us because the YouTube comments made me feel like an idiot.
And I was like, do you guys know states?
Any of you guys know states?
And they were like, no.
I was like, okay, cool.
So Virginia pops up
And I'm thinking
I don't know how you mess that one up
Yeah I don't either
But in my head I'm thinking
Aaron's trying to mess with me
He's trying to flip states upside down
And I do this
And if you take Virginia and do this to it
Flip it right upside down
It kind of looks like North Carolina
With the whole
See we could have a producer right now
Bring it pop it up we could
Flip it
Guys Google reverse it
North Carolina on your phone
Flip it upside down
it looks like Virginia.
So I was like, I got this and it was Virginia.
And then now everybody's, because I thought, I overthought it, thought Aaron was trying to mess with me.
If I missed it, he was going to be like, ha, ha, ha, it's actually North Carolina.
That was the one state I like, no.
And as soon as I said it, I was like, as soon as he said, that's Virginia.
And I looked at it.
I was like, that is Virginia.
And then I thought, damn it, Nick's going to get that because Maryland's right above Virginia.
And I was pissed.
And that's where my ex lived.
And that's where your ex lived, which is more important.
How's she doing?
Good.
So how did you feel about states?
I thought it was a dumb trivia, to be honest.
Whose idea was that?
Ah, Aaron's.
All right.
It was better than the Lord of the Rings one.
Yeah.
That was dumb too.
The Star Wars one would have been really good if we had had the people that like Star Wars in the video.
But we were pushed to.
to put that video out.
And so we had a limited supply of,
yeah, limited supply of nerds around.
But we happen to be as long,
as long as we have Mike and Bose on the same team
in every single trivia, that's all that matters.
Well, I think it should,
Mike and Bose should always be a team.
I think we should always be a team.
You and I?
Yeah.
I don't know, because I don't think, I mean,
because you have the ability to carry other people
when it comes,
Like you and Billy worked great because you like carried the funny part of it and Billy was there like being like working off.
But if you put like Billy and Alex Summons together, they're just going to sit there the whole time and they're going to be like, I don't know.
I think it's Idaho.
And then nobody's going to laugh.
But you're over there like, I don't know, man.
What is it?
And Billy's like maybe Indianapolis and he says something like funny like that.
You know what I mean?
This is how funny.
All right.
Just because you guys are flycast listeners, I'm going to.
give you an inside scoop behind the scenes footage or behind the scenes story story of why we won so
yeah our oh i learned this today i got pissed our um apartment or billy couldn't make it in the
morning to shoot so by the time arum was or got out of the office and stuff he just came back to
our apartment and billy came just walked over to our place and we shot our
section or our portion
segment at my apartment
and during the middle
of our it was more towards the beginning
during like the beginning of our
recording
the people above us
were doing something
with their floor and it was making
like hell of noise and
so we had to just literally sit there and wait for them to
stop doing whatever they were doing
because the mic could pick everything
up and so while we were waiting
Aaron went to take a shit
or something and me and Billy were like
just looked at each other
and we're like pull out your phone
and we just looked up the U.S. maps
and then that's how we
I think that's how we guessed Idaho
and then
or I think Aaron still had the picture of
Idaho up and then we
looked it up and we're like
all right that's Idaho but we're like how are we
going to play this off and
Billy was just like
Billy was sitting there
He was like
And it took like
Four tries
And Billy was like
I think it
I think it starts for the eye
And I'm just like what?
And I just like
Started dying laughing
And then then we like
Tried something again
To play it off
We did that like four times
But I just like kept cracking up
When we like tried to lie about it
And so that's how we got Idaho
Everything else was
Legit
I don't know how many we got total
Three or four
Because Idaho is the only one
I actually got and I don't know how I saw it and I was like I know really yeah but everything
else I had absolutely no idea like not even I didn't even like I think it was Idaho the one we
cheated on yeah yeah yeah you guys still want to one though you got four so you would have only gotten
three yeah true so still the champions still the champions by getting three out of eight states
correctly I mean I don't know that was it was difficult but
I don't know.
Do you think it's because I feel like people lie, man.
I feel like when people see that and then they put in the comments,
wow, these guys are so dumb,
I feel like unless that's your home state or that's a bordering state around your home state,
or unless you're from like third to sixth grade where you just learned about the state,
so it's fresh in your mind.
Once you go through 10 years of not looking at a map every day,
I feel like the shape of states.
Maybe that's what the kids are into nowadays.
I don't know.
They're learning shapes.
They shape it up.
Screw Pokemon cards.
We're collect it.
I'll trade Maryland for your Texas.
Maybe.
Wait, didn't Mike and Bose get Texas wrong?
No.
They were about to?
Dude, what?
Yeah.
Aaron said Mike was about to get, Mike guess something else.
And I think Bose said Texas.
No.
Yeah, Mike was about to guess something else.
That's like,
That goes back to our point of, no offense, Mike.
But we're not trusting you with my stock money.
Dude, you got a lot of love today on the Reddit.
I don't know if Aaron told you that or not.
Yes, Aaron did tell me that.
But that got me what you just said about Mike almost missing.
Yeah, just so you guys know on Reddit, whenever you say good things about me, Hitch hates it.
That's not true.
Because we were all on my couch and Aaron was like,
You're getting hell of level on Reddit and I looked over.
You're just, that is not true at all.
Like, finally, I'm the one that was sticking up for you when they were all hating on you,
telling you that you should have gotten kicked from Optic.
But anyway, what I was about to say was somebody had like a hilarious thing on Reddit that they said.
It was under the States trivia.
And one of the top comments is Virginia pops up.
Bose.
It looks like Alaska.
Rhode Island pops up.
Mike, is that Michigan?
Bose looks at Mike, it's got to be.
And then he said, I lost it there.
Bows and Mike are the best combo for trivia ever.
They are a good trivia.
That is exactly why.
It's shit like that.
Is that Michigan?
It's got to be.
It's got to be Michigan.
Even seeing them on the Star Wars and just like trying to make up shit.
Like they pop up a character they've never seen before.
It's funny seeing how Mike's brain works to like figure stuff out.
Because he's like, yeah, I went through and I watched a lot of trivias and it's just like the stuff he'll say, man, it's just I can't even, you can't even make it up.
Like he said, I watched one earlier today just like trying to see what was going right in all of those trivias.
And Yossi Michu from Tekken popped up and he looks at me, he looks at it.
And he was like, that's from Tekken.
If I get any of the letters right in the name, do I get some sort of points?
I was like, no.
No, you don't.
But at least he tried.
He tried to get some extra pointage out of it.
Didn't work though, Mike.
Have they ever won a trivia?
Yeah, they won the one that Dr. Disrespect was in.
I wasn't in it.
Didn't count.
Yeah, I guess not.
Nola this weekend.
Nola this weekend.
Yes, you're not going.
So that's $500 safely in your bank account.
Yes.
You will not be.
Seduced.
Oh, that's, yeah, that's like a thousand, really.
That's true, because of the flight.
Hotel, flight, food and shit, alcohol.
That's five hundred oh, then getting robbed.
That's another five.
Like, I would have lost a thousand.
Instead, I'm a stay back.
Make videos.
Grind.
Grind.
Stream Fortnite.
Stream.
Get bomb horror.
That's funny.
You were so surprised that I said it.
I was not expecting that.
Oh, man.
Yeah, but Nola should be fun.
It's the first time that I've been down there since that one event.
And I know a lot more people.
I'm actually in Optic now.
And it should be a good, it should be crazy.
I just say.
You said I know a lot of people there.
I'm actually in optic now.
No, I said I know a lot of people now and I'm actually in optic now because I wasn't in optic when we went down.
Oh.
I hadn't even, I was just working with it.
Wait, has it been two years since Noah?
Probably three.
Two and a half.
Yeah, three years.
Three years since Nola.
Damn.
It's been a while.
You're old, man.
Yeah.
You are.
Time flies.
Time flies when you're making videos.
No.
Time just fucking flies regardless.
It doesn't matter what you do.
Time flies regardless of whatever is happening.
It's so weird because like today I tell myself, I remember this morning I was like telling myself I was like I just need to be like patient.
I'm like there's like so much.
There's like just stuff I want to do and like I'm just worried about other stuff.
I just want to see my bank account bat.
Yeah.
But it takes time.
And I'm just so, and it like gives me like not really stress or stress or anxiety.
But it's like, fuck.
Can I just like be rich or something already?
I was expecting something so deep.
I think I tried pulling something deep out.
And then you went with.
Why am I not rich?
I just couldn't think of anything.
but really
the point is this
time
fucking flies
and it needs
to slow down
it does
because
I find myself
not
I find myself
looking back
and just being like
what the fuck
yeah
like
did you ever
was three years ago
what the hell
has happened
three years
yeah I mean
there's an aspect of
It was like what has happened?
And then there's also a time where it's like so much has happened in the last three years.
But like how much of it is like timeless, I guess.
Like how much of it like will you never forget?
And those are like the only moments that I actually matter in the grand scheme of things.
Yeah.
Makes me sad sometimes fucking looking back.
I think it was my 100K video for YouTube.
Yeah.
Looking back at all those.
clips and this is like damn dude you start you remember all every day and it's like damn a lot
has happened dude i remember because i don't mean when you major a hundred k video i think i'd only
known you for like a month but you still put the clip of the rap battle in there oh yeah yeah
where's nick when he's chasing dreams probably in the gym with weights and things
impatiently waiting in Ava stream.
Yeah, yeah.
You put that in there and I was like, damn.
I made his best 100K moments.
I only knew him for a little bit.
That shit.
It's crazy.
Dude, because, yeah, you had some,
there are some funny-ass video clips in that 100-K video.
Like the whole, like, Crim6 impersonation.
Formals, Target T-shirt.
Yeah, formal's target T-shirt.
Dude, fuck.
It's crazy.
It's crazy how things change too.
It's crazy how like groan people are getting.
Yeah.
Are you about to cry?
No.
Just, and I have to say that for the people that are only listening at iTunes,
Flycast, that can't see me.
No, I'm not about the cry.
But I am thinking right now.
It's kind of sad.
Like shit.
Dude, whenever I go back, like, whenever I hang out with Brandon or I hang out with like Blake and George like in real life, you just always think about.
Dude, imagine if you had like clips from your childhood on camera.
Like, just hanging out at like your friend's house or something.
Yeah, like imagine you vlogged when you're in middle school.
That would be weird.
That would be.
Because there are like times where you go back and you think about, but they're already like fuzzy.
Like they're super.
I can't even like really remember.
I like remember really random things.
Dude and everybody now is everybody from high school is like getting married or engaged or having kids.
And like you're at a I'm at an age now where I'm looking at people that are going into high school or like or like mid in high school.
And I just want to be like you have your whole life in front of you.
Like please get it together fast.
Yeah.
Life is going to smack you.
in the face and then you have to like readjust and that like two year three years of
readjusting for me like I feel like it I mean I feel like it set me back but I also feel like
it gave me like a like a push that I needed to just like okay now it's fucking grind time
what's weird is it's like fucking two examples Aaron and optic like yeah he but the thing is
about him is like he's 20 and
he already is like he's doing really well for 20 yeah and he doesn't know he's doing well like he
like he so he won't like i don't know he doesn't have the experience of like not doing well yeah
like like he doesn't have like that heart that fucking disgusting not in your stomach from like having
fucking no money.
Yeah.
Like he doesn't know that feeling and like to never go back to that feeling again.
Yeah.
That's very true.
So that's the, we were talking about that earlier.
It's just like the worst feeling.
Like I remember I would, I would check my bank account like whenever rent was due and rent was $400.
And I would have like $6.50.
And the, the feeling that you get in your stomach where you just like, like at what point am I going to have to call my mom?
and tell her that I'm not making it.
Like, I'm broke.
At what point does it get there?
And how do I stop it?
And then you kind of use that feeling and you're like, once you have that feeling,
like if anybody that's listening to this podcast ever has that feeling in the future,
instead of just letting it consume you, just like take it and think,
I never want to feel this way ever again in my entire life.
I never want to feel this way.
and then use that to like fuel you.
You have to get up.
Fucking.
I am king.
Be depressed and lay in bed.
Yeah.
And like that's the worst thing you can do is like be in your bed.
Or like just not just get up.
Just go somewhere, not in your bed.
don't sit in your room.
Like, if you're in that situation,
like,
do anything,
but sit there and, like,
feel sorry for yourself
or just let it consume you.
You can be depressed.
An example I heard was,
I forget the dude's name,
but he was like,
when you're depressed,
you'll drive to work and there's
Adam Carolla is his name.
It was like when you're depressed, you're driving, you'll drive to work and there'll be a coffee mug in the passenger seat floor.
And you'll get home and you'll look at the coffee mug and be like, I don't want to bring that coffee mug into the, God forbid, I bring that coffee mug inside and wash it.
And he was like, then you'll want to just like leave the coffee mug there.
But you need to get to a point where you see a fucking coffee mug and you just pick it up and do it.
instead of being depressed and
just not doing the shit you know you need to do
like the like be the person who sees the coffee cup
and just picks it up and does it rather than like
just being the depressed person that like kind of feels
sorry for themselves and just not doing anything
like get up
go exercise go
study something
Yeah. Do you ever worry that we're talking to the wrong demographic?
No.
Because I think this demographic is like King Depression, to be honest.
Like, I think e-sports is-on-e-sports.
Well, I mean, that's like our demographic.
I didn't know.
I was talking like when I think e-sports, sometimes I think like 13 to 16-year-olds in high school listening to like watching gameplay videos and stuff.
And then they stumble upon upon our channels.
But I did look at like the...
I don't think that's our...
I don't think that's our audience.
Yeah.
I don't think they would be interested in watching the podcast or the flycast anyway.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean...
I think our audience specifically because, you know, they're in gaming.
We're in gaming and that's how they, like, found us.
Yeah.
Like, I'm assuming 95% of our audience is involved in gaming.
Yeah.
And that demographic, I think, is like, top-tier depression.
Because that is, like,
sitting in your room
is like
that's what
revolve that's like
depression and sitting in your room
you start the game
because you're just in your room all day
yeah
and so just
there's a there's a documentary that I don't know if it was ever made
and we might have even talked about it on the flycast before
just talking about Twitch streamers
and how like
it seems like kids nowadays
like growing like in my
when I was growing up everybody wanted to be like
a football player, like a professional athlete.
And now it seems like, like, professional gaming wasn't even like a thing.
It didn't even make it, it didn't even come.
It wasn't even, it wasn't even, it didn't make any sense.
But now it's like people are growing up, like, people like kids are growing up watching like
Ninja Stream or, or Shroud Stream.
And they're just like, I want to be a professional, like, I want to be a streamer.
I want to make YouTube videos and I want to stream.
I want to play video games and have people watch like me play video games.
but what they don't understand is it's like the the unhappiness rate for a lot of these
Twitch streamers is is huge because they'll stream.
Yeah, you're talking about like the Twitter kind of discussion that's going on right now.
With what?
Like Ninja made a video.
I think today, Ninja made a video today about like being a streamer and living a healthy lifestyle.
Yeah.
Ava made some tweets.
Summit made a video kind of about it.
Yeah.
It's been like a Twitter discussion.
I don't know that.
I thought that's why you brought it on.
No,
I didn't even.
All I know is that like it's not thought about that, you know,
for 12 hours,
like from 8 to 12 hours a day that these people stream and they're talking to,
you know,
anywhere from hundreds to,
you know,
hundreds of thousands of people in their Twitch chat,
you know,
it's fun and it seems fun for everybody else.
It's something that everybody else wants to do.
you know, for the most part, that that likes any sort of spotlight.
But at the end of the day, when your tweet, when your stream comes to an end and you hit, stop streaming,
then it's like you cut the lights out.
And then all there is to think about is how you've sat inside of your room for 12 hours doing nothing but play video games.
And you've had no human contact with any other human being in the entire world.
And that is, regardless of how many people you reach out to on a personal level,
that can be extremely lonely.
And you have to...
It takes super strong mindset,
world power, to do that.
Yeah, I didn't do that.
But an example, like,
it's like streaming,
human interact,
streaming interact, I guess,
streaming human interaction,
even though it's not human interaction.
Yeah.
But like you're talking other humans.
It's kind of like comparing
real life human interaction compared to
Twitch human interaction
is like comparing Skype sex to real sex
Like yeah
You still get off
But there's something about a woman actually touching you
That just like
It's just completely different
And the same with like a genuine.
And the same with like a genuine
human interaction it's different than talking to like you know the Twitch yeah kind of interaction
like it's not natural at all it's like there's something missing like with thousands millions
of years of evolution all they did was interact human to human and then this generation gets to do that but
in a cyber way and it's just like I don't think the brain the brain doesn't get like the real like life
feeling that a real human interaction brings isn't it isn't it weird that we're the first generation
for that to happen yeah like we're we're the part we we we're setting the blueprint yeah we are
Generation X for
I am a
What do they call
the people that draw blueprints
For construction
Architect
I am
Esport architect
Yeah
I mean that
There isn't
There isn't a generation before you
I mean maybe
Counterstrike
Original
No
No Halo
They didn't
Well
Just no
No
All right.
They are not.
But it's just weird.
Even like our parents, that generation didn't go around.
What they did was talk on the phone at night, but they didn't go around eyes glued to their phone.
They didn't go home and get on their computers.
They went home and watched TV.
They played outside.
They read a book.
They did work.
Stop.
They moved.
And it's like now, like, what are we even?
At what point is, like, I was like, I was.
listening to a Joe Rogan, a Joe Rogan and Russell Brand podcast.
And there was just so much information bouncing off the two of them because they're very,
they're very good talkers and they kind of know a lot about a lot of different things
enough to hold a conversation about it. And I was just like, this, these two people talking
this way, there's so much conversation happening and so much information being thrown
back and forth between these two people about anything from pop culture.
to like, like, they were talking about like the chemical breakdown of different types of drugs.
And I was just like, I feel like that wouldn't happen.
This is the first generation or this is the first time in the history or something like that would happen because there's so much access to so many different types of information.
Like you can get on, you can you can get on that website and you can learn a lot through anything, through Wikipedia, through BuzzFee.
feed or through, you know, like an actual like law firm website that has free textbooks.
Like you can learn anywhere from mindless information to stuff that will actually matter and
you can apply into real life.
And also that sort of conversation between them wouldn't happen through like Skype.
Yeah.
Like that's the like human to human interaction needed.
True.
And they're sitting across the table from each other and they talked and then four million
people watched it on on YouTube alone.
so that means probably it probably has like six million views all around six or seven million views
all around and it's like even that with everything that they're talking about they're like relaying
a lot of information and a lot of like opinions about different types of things and seven million
people heard that then they're going to start thinking about it start developing their own opinions
and it's like all this information is being spread throughout the world is that is that a good thing
or is that a bat or is that or is that just a different thing?
Bad thing.
I think there are aspects.
But it's definitely different.
Yeah.
It's like, uh, it's just new.
Because you got to think like if people were speaking, if people were talking how we talk nowadays and having like having the, the mindset and the ability to have access to all this information.
If we like, it's just the typical person where to like travel back in time, 150 years and talk about everything that they know, then people would be like, how does.
this guy know everything?
Like people that were geniuses in their field
were geniuses because they researched
and they did one specific thing
in their field. They didn't know
everything there is to know about
pop culture all the way to
drug chemical breakdowns. You know what I mean?
It's weird. It's a weird time.
I wonder how someone like
Joe Rogan, it's
okay, I wonder how someone like
a Joe Rogan would be looked at
a hundred years ago or something.
Like a profit? Yeah.
And that sounds like a genius.
But even now he's like, I don't know if you'd consider a genius, but he's very well spoken and has a lot of opinions about a lot of, which I think, I think Russell Brand is like a witty comedic genius just because of how quick he comes up with everything.
I wish my mind worked that way.
But at the same time, he does know a lot about a lot of different things because of.
how old he is and because of how much he puts into his work and stuff like that. I don't know.
And on top of that, we're at an age or we're at a time now where every single person has an opinion and they have a platform to share that opinion and we're supposed to treat every single opinion equally.
Which that is ridiculous.
And I think that is almost a bad thing.
Yeah. People, I've heard a lot of like,
what's a word
I've heard a lot of
respected people
talk about how
that is just like
bad for kids growing up
is like getting a participation
award trophy
like don't worry you
like you actually
devalues the kid
because they're getting
an award for
being
fucking shit
It's literally like giving a dog a bone for pooping on the floor.
Someone out there has a participation trophy.
He's just sitting there listening.
Just on their dresser.
But I feel like that's, I heard somebody say, you are dog shit.
You are dog shitting.
I don't know if it was a comedian or if it was like an actual speech.
But somebody said that the reason we have.
social media in our generation.
I feel like I've talked about this in the flag house too.
The reason we have social media in our generation because it's become so big is because our
generation was was grown up in like as like everybody gets a participation award.
Good try.
Like you never fail.
You can never lose.
You don't keep score at different soccer games like when you're a kid like all these
different things.
And so we think we grew up in that.
Yeah.
I think we did.
I believe we did.
I know when I played basketball, you only got an award if you were like, you didn't get a trophy if you're just like playing.
But you never had like the, you never had like the you can be anything you want to be type feel whenever you were growing up.
Because I feel like I did.
I feel like that was the vibe whenever I was being raised.
Maybe more so or maybe yes, but less definitely less.
definitely less than now.
Less than now, you think.
But I don't really remember it being,
I don't know, I'm just,
I'm just thinking of, like, my specific sports I played.
Like, in football, I think I was like,
I think in football, I know in basketball,
I was a defensive player of the year.
And then at football, I might have been the same.
But I don't remember any,
there weren't like participation awards oh i got tons of just participation awards yeah that's like
spelling bee shit yeah just like thanks for trying yeah well bo burnham said in one of his stand-ups
i think it was bo burnham he said that like that's why that's that's a big reason why social
media was created by our generation is because we were taught that we're so much more important
than we really are and so we have to have this platform where we have an audience that listens to
everything that we have to say, which makes...
Bo Burnham's a fucking genius.
He's a genius.
He's my favorite.
I don't know about a comedian,
but he's like one of my favorite artists.
Let's say that.
Yeah, definitely.
I don't watch him,
but when I watch him,
I just like respect it.
Dude, I don't really watch him for his jokes.
I watch him for his art.
Me neither.
Exactly.
Every time he,
well, he's only had like three specials.
And so every,
I remember the last one that came out
is when I was at the scuff house.
And I was just like, I can't wait for it to come out.
Because his special called What is like one of my favorite art pieces, performances, I guess you could say it.
Because it's not even like a stand-up routine.
It's like more than that.
Like his outroes are crazy.
They're super artistic.
But that makes a lot of sense.
Like we get, we are grown up in an age where we're said, you can do anything.
You matter to not only yourself, but to everyone.
And you don't even have to work in order to matter.
You don't have to work in order to have people, every single person that you ever meet care about you.
So here's Facebook.
Here's MySpace.
Here's Twitter.
Put all of your ideas and brag as much as you want.
Talk about yourself as much as you want and people will listen.
But as much as getting accepted for not being good is, I don't think that was a sentence.
Fuck, why's I going to say?
Like, fuck.
What were you saying?
Participation Award.
Participation Award.
Social media.
Social media.
Oh, as much as you can just be like saying like everyone's opinions matter and stuff.
They also, the thing about social media is you also get shit on for like, you know, just say someone calls you fat and stuff.
That could also might better them to not be fat anymore.
Yeah.
There's an aspect of that, but that's an extreme example.
I guess.
Because if somebody's just naturally, like, if somebody's just naturally ugly,
you can't change the fact that you're ugly.
Or if somebody's naturally has.
Don't.
I mean, I don't know.
If you're ugly, you can still pull it off to where, like,
Like, if you're ugly, you can still, like, do your thing.
I mean, that's true.
You can get, like, you can do your thing if you're educated on what they do.
If you're overweight as well.
I mean, I'm just saying, like, people, people on the internet are going to destroy.
It's literally, like, predators looking for prey.
And you're an easy target.
The weak. Praying on the weaker.
Yes.
And so it doesn't matter what, you can be the most perfect human being.
People are always going to have something.
the roast you on if you have any sort of spotlight at all like you look at any way you look at
christiano rinaldo people hate him there are people out there that hate him for being perfect
i don't even really i don't know anything i'm not even a big christiano rinaldo fan i just like
know he plays soccer yeah and he's good incredible and he does a lot of charity work and he's
married to a beautiful lady and he's one of the best players of all time and he's one of the best players of all
time and he makes a lot of money and it's just like there's nothing wrong with him but also one thing
that i i wanted to do you think it's do you think it's a good thing that we live in an age where you can
you can know every single thing about anybody you know all their dirty secrets you know all their
skeletons in their closet you you know anything about them that you know most likely
you know like not everyone's perfect and I feel like if you aren't perfect you are ridiculed and
you are attacked and you're basically you know stripped away of of everything that you've kind of
like accomplished that's kind of going against what we said earlier about getting a participation
award what do you mean like you're saying you're ridiculed for being like not perfect
yeah but we're also rewarded for not being perfect
through participation awards.
Yeah, I mean, okay.
I understand that.
I'm saying that's just like kind of contradictory.
Yeah.
But I see what you're saying as well.
I'm saying if somebody like,
I feel like we live,
and this is getting like into crazy grounds right now,
but we live in an age where somebody.
I have something prepared to say.
We have somebody,
and I don't want to get roasted or whatever,
but it's,
kind of like a just something interesting to bring up because i don't even know what my thoughts are
but say somebody goes through their whole life and does crazy like amazing things and achieves like
okay i'm just going to use another example um bilber has a a hilarious comedy routine um a skit
about arnold schorzenegger and about how he's achieved the unachievable he went from being
a bodybuilder that didn't speak english to coming over and becoming an american actor that didn't
speak English. And then that wasn't enough for him. He became like one of the best actors and most
known actors and the most, you know, one of the best series of movies of all time. And then he was like,
that's not enough. I got to go from there and I've got to become the mayor of fucking California.
And he does it. The unachievable. Nobody will ever, like nobody does that. Nobody can do that.
And then he, you know, obviously, I mean, apparently he had an affair with his wife and he just got
destroyed. Really? Yeah. And he, he, how did I hear about that? I don't know. Was that a long time?
A long time ago. And he just got destroyed. And he was like, and Bill Burr is like famous for going
against what everybody thinks. And he, that's, that's his thing. But at the same time,
there's a lot of truth in that. It's like, how can I, he said, how can I ridicule this great man?
When he, I've never been putting that possibility. I've never been putting, I've never been
famous enough where I walk outside and 1900 women want to have, want to have sex with me, even though they
know him a married woman or a married man but at the same time like he had a skeleton in his
closet and he did something bad made a bad mistake but does that take away from everything
that he has accomplished because he got destroyed by the media destroyed by everyone yeah people
will like to try to take away I mean my opinion no it doesn't but people do try to like take
everything from you for like one thing you did yeah it is it is uh because as we as we start
like learning more like you you start realizing that everybody that's ever been great ever
like 99% of them have had skeletons well i think it's just like every human yeah everyone so
why is it appropriate to expect perfection from everyone else?
I don't think people expect perfection.
It's just like, they ridicule.
They don't ridicule because they're not,
that person isn't perfect.
They ridicule because they're insecure.
You think so?
Yeah.
Like all like criticism and like ridiculing and like talking shit
and like trying to see someone,
someone lose it's just like them their own insecurities so you think like they feel they get a weird
feeling seeing a person like going out and getting it and doing shit they wish they were doing
and so it's like it kind of feels good to them seeing them having the possibility of losing it all right
kind of like the people who want me kicked from opta very much so
But it's like now you have all these, obviously, the big thing right now is like the Hollywood scandals, like the Kevin Hart.
The comedians.
Yeah, Kevin Hart.
Louis C.
Louis C.
I don't even know what he did.
He masturbated in front of women.
But like, he lured women that were.
I wish I was there to like really, to like really see what happened.
To watch Lacey.
That just doesn't happen.
Like, you can't.
No one just like starts.
masturbating, like pull your dick out and start masturbating and like they just like sit there and watch.
Apparently they said, he said, do my, I'm going to pull my penis out now and they laughed.
The two women left because he's Lucy K. And then he pulled his penis out and they said, oh.
And what did they do?
They stayed there and watched the whole thing. And then they left.
And then 20 years later, 15 years later, they talk about it.
Yeah.
But it's like all this stuff is happening regardless of that situation.
Regardless of like all this stuff is happening to all these different people throughout Hollywood.
And it's like if this was the mindset back in the day, what would have ever even gotten done?
Because everybody has skeletons in their closet.
Gandhi had skeletons in their closet.
I don't know exactly what it was, but I heard about it.
Probably should have looked that up before this podcast.
Yeah, like dead ass.
Obviously, it wasn't anything.
He didn't kill anybody.
He's Gandhi.
But like Martin Luther King Jr.
cheated on his wife multiple times.
And it's like, if this was the mindset back in that day,
what would have gotten a comp?
Like, what would have, are you going to tell me that you, like, people would have,
would have rather Martin Luther King Jr.
been stripped of everything that he was achieving once they realized that he was
having an affair.
Obviously,
I mean,
I'm saying when he was making an entire world-changing movement happen.
And he got stripped of that because of a mistake that he made or because of a weakness
in his system.
I guess people aren't really educated that Martin Luther did.
I didn't know that.
Yeah, I mean, I think I did hear like something like he did something like he wasn't like he cheated, but it's not like known like it is now that Kevin Hart cheats and everyone finds out.
Like what if Martin Luther King cheated back then and everyone found out?
Then they were just like, we can't rally behind this dude who's about to change America forever.
That's what I'm saying.
Is that a bad thing?
I think that's a it seems logically.
I think it's a bad thing.
I mean, it probably is.
Because the fact that he made that mistake or had that weakness,
because apparently his wife knew and didn't say anything
because she knew what he was doing was bigger than that.
See, that's a real one.
It is super real.
Super real.
Jay Colt wraps about it.
It's why you put it up with all the cheat in.
I had a woman like Coretta or something like that.
You know what I'm saying?
Was that his wife's name?
Yeah, yeah.
That's a real one right there.
I forgot her actually.
But anyway, like, I think that's a bad thing that we know we have access to everybody's dirty secrets.
And because obviously some of them are terrible and should be like Bill Cosby.
Yeah, exactly.
I'm not saying what he did is right.
And I'm not saying.
not defending stuff like that. I'm defending stuff that should be between two people. And instead of it being between two people, it gets busted out into everyone's, you know, newspapers and and Yahoo.com articles and Twitter and everything. And it's like now it's everybody's business and they're judged for the one mistake that they did instead of the hundreds of things that they did positive.
I don't know.
It has its ups and downs.
Like I think it definitely,
well, like, knowing people can find out what I do in, like, my position,
I'm, like, nowhere near, like, those guys.
But, like, I have to move differently because people,
I'll get fucking destroyed if, like, I do certain stuff.
Yeah.
Like, if I smack my girlfriend or something, like,
I would get fucking destroyed.
Yeah, of course.
But, like,
So in like certain aspects, I think it can help people not be shittier people.
Like they'll realize they can't do that stuff.
Yeah.
Like cheat and stuff like that.
But there is, I don't know, it has its ups and downs.
I think so too.
Yeah, I agree.
I mean, I wasn't.
I was just like, everyone knowing everything about you has its ups and downs.
Yeah.
I think a lot more.
downs and ups probably which is why you see people like Eminem and you might see people like
I don't even know who else I mean him's the first person that popped in the mind that just
stay out of media they're never in media they literally have like a he lives in like a blockade
who was it someone refused to do oh Adam Sandler he doesn't do any interviews ever besides like a long
time ago that's real and like yeah
Is Bryson Tiller the Adam Sandler of music?
I don't know.
Bryson Tiller is really emotional.
I'm starting to realize.
I'm going to give him another chance.
You are?
I've listened to his album actually a couple times since.
What's it called?
Like it's crazy.
What the fuck is it called?
Not Trapso, obviously.
I have no idea.
I did it.
I'm going to tell you that.
I did not.
I gave it.
I'd like some of the songs.
And I like,
I don't know.
There's like two songs on there that have like a vibey like,
but it's not a masterpiece.
Yeah.
Traps soul was a masterpiece.
Trapso was fucking.
The beginning of a new was Trapso.
Trap soul.
Like he literally invented it.
He literally, he did.
He invented.
He took what.
Drake and all them were trying to do, and he made it an actual genre.
Pretty much.
And then he released the next one, and I don't know what that was.
True to self. That's what it's going.
True to self.
Yeah. I wanted something new every day.
True to self.
What do we have right now?
Hour 21, we could wrap it up if you would like.
That's not too bad.
I had something in my head.
Remember when I said I had something in my head?
Yeah.
It really didn't.
It ended up not really having to do with what you were saying.
but it's still in my head, so I need to get it out.
Get it out, man.
What we're saying of like, actually, it really doesn't have to do a shit.
My point was going to be porn ruin girls for me.
Okay, we can go off of that.
What do you mean?
Like, just being on the internet and seeing everything,
you can see anything, everything, and like expecting perfection and stuff like that
because like that's what you see and like when I used to watch porn because I don't anymore
I get if I want it you know just go to I get laid but no I watch like Aza Akira and like her body is
like perfect to me like she it's just like tan all those.
over nice boobs nice butt and it's like that like ruined girls like I feel like I judge the
shit out of the girls like yeah unnaturally fairly unnaturally like I'd let porn like dictate what
I'm turned on by which is fucked up yeah but it's it fucked me it's what happens because I'm like
So imagine if girls judged guys off of porn.
That was their standard.
I'd still be good.
No, you wouldn't because you're not fucking...
Like, a lot of these guys are just like...
Like ripped, chiseled, fucking built.
Obviously, they're fucking...
I don't even know.
They're unnatural.
And it's like...
Like, that...
Like, girls don't judge guys off of that.
And guys, I don't think a lot of guys...
Do they?
Well, maybe they do.
Because girls, that...
Now, girls like seeing, like, it's easy, not easy, but like girls like a successful man now.
Like in every movie, it's like the man is like the success and then the girl is just the hot one.
Yeah.
And it's.
Why does the success have to come with the, like imagine if like it doesn't come with the body though?
Why do, why do guys suddenly start getting girls when they're, when they start placing good?
because it's some sort of grind and success and motivation.
But I mean, I'd look at girls that way too.
Like if a girl, like, I don't know.
Yeah, I agree.
They just like having like a girl that's successful.
Didn't we talk about this on the last podcast?
Yeah, we did.
Like, yeah.
But is that why you've been single for so long?
Because you're looking for a girl that is hot and super hot,
way above standards of any normal person and then also on top of hot she has to be some sort
of successful and business wise or or whatever she's trying to achieve and on top of that she has to
be mutually interested in you yes that is probably why I'm single and I've been single for
like five years yeah so and I don't it not even close to having a girlfriend really nope
There has never been one time since I've known you where you're like, I think I would, I would date her.
It's always been, yeah, we still text every once in a while.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I don't know why.
Some people, I don't know.
I can't like fake the, I don't know.
Some people like, I don't know.
There are some people who have like multiple boyfriends or girlfriends a year.
And it's just like, how?
Are you, I'm just, I think not only on like expecting too much from a female, I guess, I,
fuck, I just blacked out again.
My mind's not working at night.
Fuck, what are we talking about?
Fuck, I had a good point.
What were we talking about?
Remind me.
We were talking about girls' perfection standards, getting a girlfriend.
I remember I was about to say it was 2018 the year that Optic Maniac.
Kids are girlfriend?
It's a girlfriend.
I mean, I don't know.
Could be.
Could.
So could of 2017, 2016, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013.
But.
You were saying that some people have multiple boyfriends,
multiple girlfriends every single year.
I forget what I was.
And I was about to say that I've never had.
Oh, I'm really, I think this is maybe what I was going to say.
I'm really good at, oh, the reason why I've been, this is what I was going to say.
The reason why I've been single for so long, I think is because not only do I put women too high of a, like,
have a too high of a standard for them unfairly, but I am really good.
I was literally about to forget what I was going to say,
but I'm really good at entertaining myself when I'm bored.
Like I don't need a,
I don't need another person.
Yeah.
Like the internet and just,
I don't know,
I'm good at entertaining myself when I'm bored.
I don't need a boyfriend or a girlfriend.
I don't need someone to talk to at night.
Yeah.
And like some people need,
like feel like they need that and they go.
Like I just look at some relationships.
And I'm like, here we go again.
Yeah, I'm sure he's the one.
I'm sure she's the one.
And it's like, I don't know.
People just seem dumb for some relationships they get in.
Yeah, I understand.
Anybody you want to direct that to?
You seem like you were talking about specific people?
No, it's literally, if like someone I'm close to, it's like, is he talking about?
No, I'm not.
I actually have someone in mind who I am thinking about, but like no one would know who they are.
Okay.
So no.
Yeah.
All right, guys.
Team single.
But not for long.
Not for long single.
2018 is the year.
Remember when you said you weren't?
I said I was going to be single for all 2017.
Yep.
You win Seth.
Well, I said for the month.
We both failed.
And now I'm going to say I'm going to get one.
And now you're going to be single.
Yeah, but no, I'm not even looking like that.
