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.
Starting point is 00:00:42 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.
Starting point is 00:00:59 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.
Starting point is 00:01:10 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.
Starting point is 00:01:44 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.
Starting point is 00:02:00 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.
Starting point is 00:02:17 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.
Starting point is 00:02:34 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.
Starting point is 00:02:47 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.
Starting point is 00:03:13 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.
Starting point is 00:03:29 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.
Starting point is 00:03:39 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.
Starting point is 00:04:15 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.
Starting point is 00:04:26 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.
Starting point is 00:04:41 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.
Starting point is 00:05:00 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.
Starting point is 00:05:32 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
Starting point is 00:05:50 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?
Starting point is 00:06:10 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.
Starting point is 00:06:28 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.
Starting point is 00:06:45 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
Starting point is 00:06:58 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,
Starting point is 00:07:18 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,
Starting point is 00:07:31 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,
Starting point is 00:07:43 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.
Starting point is 00:08:00 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
Starting point is 00:08:21 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
Starting point is 00:08:44 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.
Starting point is 00:09:12 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
Starting point is 00:09:23 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
Starting point is 00:09:36 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.
Starting point is 00:09:53 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.
Starting point is 00:10:17 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
Starting point is 00:10:33 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
Starting point is 00:10:45 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
Starting point is 00:11:10 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
Starting point is 00:11:45 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
Starting point is 00:11:58 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
Starting point is 00:12:12 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
Starting point is 00:13:04 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.
Starting point is 00:13:37 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
Starting point is 00:13:58 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.
Starting point is 00:14:36 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
Starting point is 00:15:04 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.
Starting point is 00:15:26 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.
Starting point is 00:16:05 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
Starting point is 00:16:40 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
Starting point is 00:17:12 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
Starting point is 00:17:24 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.
Starting point is 00:17:45 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.
Starting point is 00:18:03 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?
Starting point is 00:18:24 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
Starting point is 00:18:40 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.
Starting point is 00:19:10 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.
Starting point is 00:19:30 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?
Starting point is 00:19:55 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.
Starting point is 00:20:13 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.
Starting point is 00:20:39 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
Starting point is 00:21:09 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
Starting point is 00:21:26 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,
Starting point is 00:21:46 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.
Starting point is 00:21:59 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
Starting point is 00:22:12 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
Starting point is 00:22:28 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.
Starting point is 00:22:49 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.
Starting point is 00:23:18 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
Starting point is 00:23:39 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
Starting point is 00:23:55 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
Starting point is 00:24:16 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?
Starting point is 00:24:37 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.
Starting point is 00:24:54 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.
Starting point is 00:25:12 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.
Starting point is 00:25:23 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.
Starting point is 00:25:42 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.
Starting point is 00:26:04 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.
Starting point is 00:26:24 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.
Starting point is 00:26:48 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
Starting point is 00:27:26 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
Starting point is 00:27:46 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.
Starting point is 00:28:06 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?
Starting point is 00:28:30 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.
Starting point is 00:28:54 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.
Starting point is 00:29:26 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.
Starting point is 00:29:54 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.
Starting point is 00:30:11 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.
Starting point is 00:30:28 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.
Starting point is 00:30:45 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.
Starting point is 00:31:02 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?
Starting point is 00:31:16 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.
Starting point is 00:31:32 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.
Starting point is 00:31:48 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,
Starting point is 00:32:01 bit, well, yeah, it is, I believe, I don't know, Bitcoin is an online currency. This is,
Starting point is 00:32:08 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.
Starting point is 00:32:28 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.
Starting point is 00:32:39 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.
Starting point is 00:32:53 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.
Starting point is 00:33:03 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.
Starting point is 00:33:16 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.
Starting point is 00:33:28 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
Starting point is 00:33:42 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
Starting point is 00:33:56 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.
Starting point is 00:34:20 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.
Starting point is 00:34:34 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.
Starting point is 00:34:49 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.
Starting point is 00:35:14 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,
Starting point is 00:35:27 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?
Starting point is 00:35:52 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
Starting point is 00:36:30 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
Starting point is 00:36:48 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
Starting point is 00:37:06 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
Starting point is 00:37:22 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
Starting point is 00:37:32 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
Starting point is 00:37:41 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
Starting point is 00:37:54 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.
Starting point is 00:38:31 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.
Starting point is 00:38:56 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?
Starting point is 00:39:11 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.
Starting point is 00:39:25 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.
Starting point is 00:39:52 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.
Starting point is 00:40:16 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.
Starting point is 00:40:32 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.
Starting point is 00:40:49 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.
Starting point is 00:41:26 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.
Starting point is 00:41:43 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.
Starting point is 00:41:57 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.
Starting point is 00:42:12 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.
Starting point is 00:42:38 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.
Starting point is 00:42:59 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.
Starting point is 00:43:11 Damn. It's been a while. You're old, man. Yeah. You are. Time flies. Time flies when you're making videos. No.
Starting point is 00:43:25 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.
Starting point is 00:44:01 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?
Starting point is 00:44:29 I just couldn't think of anything. but really the point is this time fucking flies and it needs to slow down it does
Starting point is 00:44:43 because I find myself not I find myself looking back and just being like what the fuck yeah
Starting point is 00:44:53 like did you ever was three years ago what the hell has happened three years yeah I mean there's an aspect of
Starting point is 00:45:01 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.
Starting point is 00:45:28 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.
Starting point is 00:46:03 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.
Starting point is 00:46:23 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?
Starting point is 00:46:41 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.
Starting point is 00:47:09 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.
Starting point is 00:47:33 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
Starting point is 00:48:06 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.
Starting point is 00:49:02 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.
Starting point is 00:49:23 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,
Starting point is 00:49:55 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.
Starting point is 00:50:13 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,
Starting point is 00:50:39 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
Starting point is 00:50:57 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
Starting point is 00:51:39 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.
Starting point is 00:52:01 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...
Starting point is 00:52:30 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.
Starting point is 00:52:45 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
Starting point is 00:53:03 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
Starting point is 00:53:17 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.
Starting point is 00:53:37 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.
Starting point is 00:54:06 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.
Starting point is 00:54:26 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,
Starting point is 00:54:45 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.
Starting point is 00:55:00 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,
Starting point is 00:55:33 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.
Starting point is 00:55:54 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
Starting point is 00:56:15 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
Starting point is 00:56:57 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
Starting point is 00:57:34 Architect I am Esport architect Yeah I mean that There isn't There isn't a generation before you I mean maybe
Starting point is 00:57:45 Counterstrike Original No No Halo They didn't Well Just no No
Starting point is 00:57:55 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.
Starting point is 00:58:15 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,
Starting point is 00:58:37 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.
Starting point is 00:59:25 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
Starting point is 00:59:52 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.
Starting point is 01:00:26 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
Starting point is 01:00:58 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
Starting point is 01:01:14 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.
Starting point is 01:01:48 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
Starting point is 01:02:26 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
Starting point is 01:02:43 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.
Starting point is 01:03:03 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
Starting point is 01:03:32 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.
Starting point is 01:03:49 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.
Starting point is 01:04:22 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.
Starting point is 01:04:44 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.
Starting point is 01:05:20 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,
Starting point is 01:05:31 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,
Starting point is 01:05:43 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.
Starting point is 01:06:03 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.
Starting point is 01:06:22 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.
Starting point is 01:06:57 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.
Starting point is 01:07:27 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.
Starting point is 01:07:53 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.
Starting point is 01:08:16 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
Starting point is 01:09:02 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.
Starting point is 01:09:50 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,
Starting point is 01:10:09 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
Starting point is 01:10:35 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?
Starting point is 01:11:21 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
Starting point is 01:12:02 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,
Starting point is 01:12:56 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
Starting point is 01:13:28 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.
Starting point is 01:13:57 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.
Starting point is 01:14:23 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.
Starting point is 01:15:01 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.
Starting point is 01:15:22 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
Starting point is 01:15:49 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.
Starting point is 01:16:11 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.
Starting point is 01:16:44 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.
Starting point is 01:17:05 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.
Starting point is 01:17:34 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,
Starting point is 01:18:21 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,
Starting point is 01:18:40 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.
Starting point is 01:19:02 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
Starting point is 01:19:42 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?
Starting point is 01:20:03 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.
Starting point is 01:20:14 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.
Starting point is 01:20:30 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.
Starting point is 01:20:48 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.
Starting point is 01:21:03 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.
Starting point is 01:21:25 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.
Starting point is 01:22:12 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...
Starting point is 01:22:52 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...
Starting point is 01:23:07 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?
Starting point is 01:23:35 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.
Starting point is 01:24:01 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.
Starting point is 01:24:45 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.
Starting point is 01:25:09 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.
Starting point is 01:25:39 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.
Starting point is 01:26:07 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,
Starting point is 01:26:33 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,
Starting point is 01:26:58 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.
Starting point is 01:27:17 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?
Starting point is 01:27:42 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.
Starting point is 01:27:58 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.
Starting point is 01:28:18 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.
