Then it usually goes to like, I'll slide in. She'll reply two days later. We might set something up for like a date, go out to dinner. She'll text me the next day. Like, she can't stop thinking about me. And I'll be like, yeah, I had so much fun. Then I'll text her like a few days later, won't get a response. Then I'll be like, yo, let's do this.

and then so I'll say something to her and I'll like oh she wants me again so then we'll try it Welcome back to another episode of the Flycast episode Who gives a who gives a fudge What happened last week

We had Boz was supposed to be on one of these I don't understand how last week's got canceled and Bose was supposed to be on it. So why is Bose just like not put on this week then? Because you changed the date this week. Because it was supposed to be tomorrow. Well, Bose wasn't going to be on it tomorrow either. I don't know.

I don't know. That was my fault last week. So I'm just warning you guys, man. I know you love the guests. You love having someone new, someone fresh. Something else to talk about. Someone else to put in their opinions. But unfortunately, you're just stuck with us today.

Don't worry. when the call of duty season comes back optics we're back on we'll be milking we're back on top and we're gonna get fucking different interviews from the cod players will be relevant again and you guys will care you guys will listen

and because I mean right now I mean well Drake Iceman is gonna yeah people want to know our people want to know our Drake opinions really bad people want to know our Drake well it's like we haven't really talked about it too much. Yeah, we haven't talked about

Drake. So like, I don't know. We could talk about Drake, some beheadings, some deaths. I'm just trying to think of everything that's, uh, we just did a fun little video, a silent library video.

Drake, death, Drake head cut off, silent library. College football. College football. And that's pretty much about, I mean, the NFL's back. go birds

who cares who cares who's the fuck about the end of the fuck's watching I saw Ninja put a or he made like a TikTok and he was like can we get the fucking Eagles off of primetime TV did you see this clip Riley

can we get the Eagles off primetime TV can we get the Chiefs like how Ninja talks off primetime TV they're the most boring fucking NFL teams ever dude and I didn't Eagles are kind of boring

and I just I didn't care but I liked that he was like I was like oh let me go to the comments Oh yeah they were ripping him apart I'm sure they were very very chill Well I looked at the comment I didn't see too many bad things But it was just go birds I think it's nice it's good to hate on the birds right now Unfortunately do you do you have an NFL team no Why do you have a well I guess I understand why you have a college team because you went there

Correct? I didn't go there now So you're just bandwagon because they're so good Yeah especially this too intense If you didn't go to ECU How are you a fan of ECU? Because both my parents went so I like grew up Go on the game.

Okay. That makes sense. Yeah, yeah. But how you just reacted makes me want to like get like a degree Like a six month like Six month degree. Yeah, like something I could just you know cheat on a bunch of tests online. Bro I've got a degree somehow. I've thought about going back to college.

I mean, keep in mind this was a quick thought. Like, it's like one of those thoughts, and then it's just like, let me hit my plate chess. True, true. But I've, I've pondered the thought.

Would I be able to go back to college at the age of, or? 27, I think. No, I just turned 28. Oh, 28. But at the age of 28, like, would I be able to go back to college?

Would my mental be able to do it? I think he'd be better now. No. You don't think so? I was horrible back. back then. Like my GPA was probably like 2.3, 2.4. I feel like now,

now it would be just a waste of money and I kind of just fail everything. You think so? I just, I wouldn't be able to do the fucking homework. Like my, the attention. I mean, Loki, it'd probably be good for my brain. I think I think I would be better now.

I think I would be better now. That's what I thought a couple years, or that's what I thought in like, I think like, I wouldn't say scuff house days, but maybe like early, when we moved here early, I was just like, man, I can just take an eye and fucking grind. But I kind of did that in community college, and I would show up just no sleep, just show up, talk to no one, had no friends, and then just couldn't wait to just get home. I really wouldn't even use it.

I wouldn't use my prescription for college. I would just save it for when I got home. Yeah. Just lying to my psychiatrist. Like, yeah, no, I need. like 80 a day and he actually prescribed it to me somehow some way but then i'd usually our homework would be like it would all we would get our homework and then it would all be due like a shit ton then it's all due like a week later so then just one night i just grind it out yeah and then i maybe sleep like 30

minutes and then show up the class and it's just such shit i think i just i just never applied myself if i could do if i could do like an hour a day because i think that's what the issue like a class class a day? No, like an hour. Like if it was like a... Yeah, like, well, like a class, but... Online? Yeah.

Would you rather just do straight online or show up? Just straight online. You don't want to show up? No, I've got four monitors. You don't want to join fucking Alpha Wolf Psy? Don't want to join Alpha Wolf's Sai. I've heard bad things about Alpha Wolf's side. It's a good frat.

Riley was in there. Riley was in it. Yeah. He said he had a good time. The ritual was crazy. Oh. Said he doesn't like talking about that part, but yeah So that's the costume

Yeah, he does And he still has some of the marks on his body from it too They don't really go away after things like that But you really think you could just do it like online That's the only way to do it Like when you're Well, that's what everyone does nowadays Yeah, when you're like how we are

Up in age How we are up in age I was talking about it on on stream It was like what's the cutoff For like when you're can live in a dorm. Or, yeah. Like, there has to be a cutoff.

Like, you can't be, like, 80 years old, and you're like, okay, I'm going to go back to school. And then... Yeah, is there a cutoff? Google that shit. And then, like... And then, like, you go and they'll allow you to just sit, to be in the dorm. See if there's a dorm cutoff age.

Like, imagine it's like, I do a random, like, dorm mate. Because don't some people do that? And then they show up and they meet their... roommate just that's what i did and then you move you live with him for i lived with him for two years really what was his name blake his name was david and we had the same birthday you didn't fuck with him now no i indeed did you feel like you're lucky like yeah no we got it's like my mom was like kind of nervous because i had like a random roommate she was like i don't know how we're gonna do how he's gonna do and she left and

he was like he's gonna be fine it's like me and me and my uh my roommate we got along like normal we got along like really like thank god it's like two normal people it's crazy we have the same birthday his name was david my name was davis hmm you could he was black too so i think like uh brain it was a little jealous oh makes sense there can only be like one yeah your life yeah exactly specifically it was like what the fuck and then i would say i was it was like yeah my my man's coming over and then uh what i was i would tell david Debris, Debray, it would be like, yeah,

Brandon's coming over, like, and then we would go to, like, NC, A&T, and, like, there's literally no white people at that college, like, besides the starting quarterback

at the time. So I went there, I went there to, like, visit his friends, and it was crazy, dude, it was crazy. And then I was like, man,

I wish Brandon was here. And then Debrer looked at me, and he was like, Brandon's not black, man. I was like, damn. Like, he was like, he wouldn't enjoy it here?

Is that what I was like? It is not black. He's black, but he ain't enjoying this. What am I going to do you? I can't be like, I can't be like, yeah, he is. See, this would be me. 66-year-old LSU freshman is now the marching band's oldest member ever in proof that it is never too late to chase your dream.

Yeah, but you can go to. Now, is that his dream, though? Of course, it's an accountant. Of course that's his dream. He wouldn't be in a marching band. I still think about this about soccer. Like, can I go back? I feel like, I can I play on.

SMU soccer team? I just don't know if I'd feel good about it. Somebody at SMU or TCU. Can I play on the soccer team? There were older people in my community college. Obviously, they're not like living there and shit, but they're like showing up just to like, you know, they're trying to get a degree and shit. Except it's probably my age. Like my age, the people were probably about my age whenever I was in college.

See, I don't think there's definitely not a age requirement to go to school. You can go to school. like I think a lady graduated and she was like 90s she was like 97 but but like there there has I don't know if it's written anywhere because you probably would just get denied but like if you're 44 and you're like I want to go back to school and also I want a dorm like to you want it to live that college right you want to you miss the college experience that you want to go back because I think you would still be a freshman but could you be a. 44 year old freshman and live in the dorms.

And hit the part and like go to the parties. I mean, you could definitely go to the parties. But I feel like you'd get roasted. Of course you're like, how old are you? No, of course you do. Imagine just like a group of drunk frat dudes just going in on.

At that point, you would be living with 18 and 19 year olds like in dorms and you're 40. Do you ever get intimidated walking past like a group of like high schoolers or like young college kids. It's weird. I don't know what the feeling is. It's weird. But like if they're grouped together.

Oh, so you, if you're 21, you can't live there? Is that what that says? Oh, so you don't, oh,

so anyone under 21 has to live on campus. Yeah, that's how I was. Yeah. So there's not really an age. No. I mean, I think I had.

What if we, what if we did it? We go, like, let's go to, I'm not hanging around 18 years. Room with me. I'd room with you.

We hit the parties They come into our room We host the parties You have your fucking like I have a CPAP You have your fucking You're invisible line And they're like what the

What are the onks doing here? Do you sleep with a CPAP? Not yet You're about to Yeah I'm about to Because you're snoring so shit I think it's just because my sleep is so shit No I don't think I could

I might I'm start I feel like I'm starting And there's a lot of things And traumas that I've done to myself to where the older I get, the more I start thinking, did I have a learning disability? I've never thought that about you.

X is popping his head in. He just wants to make sure everyone's working at all times. He's just making sure everything's good. But like the older I get, it's like, wait a second, I can't remember it anything. I'll try to read the Bible, and that's just like, all right, I don't want to say I'm wasting my time.

because that's not something you want to say after you say you're reading the Bible but you're saying you're saying you can't comprehend or remember or focus at all you're not saying the Bible's a waste of time you're saying you're reading comprehension is second grade there's not a gen Z Bible no I genuinely need like a and it's not even on we can just say not even Bible first off Bible's a hard ass read and that that's my point John 316 God love the world so much that he sent his one and only son so those who trust him will not be destroyed but they'll have everlasting life okay that's not god didn't god didn't send his son to trash the world but to save it through him see this is what i could you're if you trust god you won't get judged

but you if you don't trust him you're already in a tough spot because you haven't trusted in the name of god's one and only son see like this is what i need this is breaking it down for like people like me. I mean, this is crazy. They could, they could word it even funnier. Like, no cap. If you ain't believing in God, no cap, you might, you might be fucked.

Can you start at Genesis 1? I want to see Genesis 1. This is the Gen Z Bible. In the very start, in the very start, God made the sky and the earth. So basically, at first, the earth was a hot mess. It didn't have any structure or anything, just emptiness and darkness all around. But then the Spirit of God started doing its thing cruising over the oceans. That's what that's what I need.

I mean that this would then I could start like following this story like the homie Moses was or like you know his disciples on some gang shit were reping Jesus. I don't think it would put with the shit. See, I don't think it would say any curse words. Oh, they, you know. You're kind of like, that's my verse. That's, if I was to write it, that'd be my version. That's 09, B-T-H version.

Yeah, like B-T-H. Okay. Bible, T-H. B-T-H. B-T-H. B-T-H. B-T-H. B-T-H-Bible the hype. Okay. See, that'd be, but no, genuinely, I need like, I mean, Bible or not,

this vape just kind of hit me. I need a stunt. Bible or not. Just, the older I get, the more it's just like, I think I have a learning disability. And I'm like, I just can't remember shit. I read. I can't remember names. I can't fucking.

It's just, I don't know. But I'm also like, no, maybe I was normal in school. And then throughout the things that I've done to my brain throughout my life. Throughout your life. Maybe that kind of. And it's the older you get. I feel like you kind of get a little dumber. Learning starts being harder.

You think the older you get, the dumber you get. Yes. In certain ways. No, I wouldn't say the older you get, the older you get, the harder it is to comprehend and learn new things. See, I do wonder what my IQ score would be, too. But there's no, you got to like pay for tests. And I was about to, this, here's my point actually right here. Let's hear it.

On stream. Someone was like, do a free IQ test here. You can do a free one here. I clicked on it. It gave examples of what the questions would be, and I just clicked off. Because I was like, I don't feel like. Thinking like that that right there is just like yeah maybe I'm not Ready for one an IQ test to go back to college three learning new things

Maybe I'm just not ready for that because I've been trying to do that with chess and it is it's just like I got to go back over and over and over and read or not read Rewatch rewatch rewatch re-learn I just I can't remember openings. It's just like but I feel like like I'm a smart aware conscious semi-normal pretty like I don't know where my IQ stands but like I don't feel like I don't feel like I'm an idiot just when it comes to like learning and comprehending

and reading and actually understanding what I just read and being able to remember it and implement it into real life or real thought or real conversation it's just it's tough and um yeah I'm learning that as I get older everything's just fucking

everything's just harder to do it is but yeah I want to say like a six month six month thing and then I could just say so then when I say yeah I'm an ECU fan they'll be like why and I'll be like I graduated from there that's how we got here so that's what or apparently

ECU gives out degrees so I'm trying to get all I'm trying to do is get tell your story I'm trying to get so good in life and so and shit type beat that like they just give me a degree i enjoyed doing music i took some music classes the honorary degrees shall receive nominations each academic year see like all i need is i just got to i got to get in somehow i got to get in somehow and they'll be like why why does davis edwards deserve a degree and i need to have enough people to be like oh he's

paving the way in the digital age of marketing strategies. And then they'll be like, oh, then he deserves it. We don't have many of that. We need more of that around there. And then I'll be like, and then I get to joke with Blake for my whole life because then I have a degree. He has a degree and he finished college and I did it.

That's kind of like where I'm at. But are you actually thinking about that? Or is it just one of those? How am I supposed to get a fake degree? I mean, how are I supposed to get a degree given to me? Are you serious or are you just late night bored Taco Bo thoughts? I've actually thought about this for many, many years. But like...

I've thought about it getting shredded for a long time, too. Yeah. Taco Bell. Taco Bo. I can't believe your go-to is Taco Bo. It's the only thing open past 3 a.m. McDonald's. No, there's not like a McDonald's around here that's open.

Really? Yeah, there's not. And Frisco? Plus, like, for some reason, I feel like McDonald's, or I feel, if I order McDonald's at 3 a.m., 4 a.m., like, it's over. I've completely given up in my brain. This is how I justify it. If I order Taco Bell, that's chicken. Lean meats.

What do you get from Taco Bell? What was your last Taco Bo order? I go crazy. See, see, I was telling Nick this off stream, but last. Off chat. Off chat. last uh last friday i ordered i've been doing all right i've been i get my factor meals and you know they're like 500 calories 600 calories i eat two of those a day then have like a meal myself

then like i'm good so like a 1500 calories i've been doing all right then i ordered taco bell off off of a whim like last friday and i woke up like literally hating myself like Like I say it a lot I'm like yeah I'm gonna eat this I'm gonna hate myself The next day I looked at myself in the

In the mirror And I was like what the What is I don't know You're gross Like Like what? Like every time I look at you

I hate you I have the same thoughts I have the same thoughts And ever since then I was like I think that was like The ground That was the rock bottom I needed Yeah I hit some of that

This past week To where I would Just order the most like I wouldn't even Like what was it the other day The other day I had a giant Jersey Mike sub With chips

And I Coke of course Can't add extra calories So that right there It's probably like over 2,500 A giant sub is like I think like 2300 chips is like 200 plus I think It's a fuck ton of calories

Demolish it all It comes to It's like 11 p.m. or something Then I'm laying down. I'm pine parked out of my mind. Then I'm like, I'm not hungry at all. But it's that time. It's, dude, does your body, like, start craving it?

Yeah, I'm not hungry at all. I'm just, like, craving. It's just 1 a.m. and you're like, well, my body is telling me that now is the time to stuff my fat, fucking ugly face. Yeah. So I have to do it. If I stuff my fat fucking ugly face right now, I'll probably fall asleep soon.

Right, exactly. So it's basically medication. Right. so I had the giant jersey mic's sub a giant number eight cold or cold club club just a number eight a club sandwich

a giant club Mike's way of course of course Mike and then later that night 11 p.m. at night something like that high off Pine Park fucking not hungry not hungry at all I could just like drink some water and go to sleep but I won't fall asleep I'll just sit there then it'll hit 3 a.m. And then I'm like all right

I'll fucking order McDonald's now So I'm like, let me just get this food out of the way Yeah Because I know I'm gonna order it later anyways So I order What was this place called? It was some taco place But I got like a three taco meal with beans and rice

And then I got a torta sandwich Which is like pretty fucking big as well With two things of fries This is from where? I think it's like three six five tacos I think that might be what it's called. Okay.

But it was just, in that itself was probably over 2,000 calories. So it's just like a 4,000 plus day. Off two meals. And I felt like such shit. Just so much like sodium. Just,

I just felt puffy and fat and lazy and didn't hit the gym and depressed. And like, I was like, am I depressed because I don't have a haircut? Or am I, like, I couldn't,

I didn't want to get out of bed. Yeah. I didn't want to go to the gym, didn't want to move, didn't want to take Chewy out. Like, yeah. I just, it just fucking, like, what's the word? It just fucking makes you not want to move. It just, like, stuns you. It's like a stun attack.

I'm just stunned and, like, can't move out of my bed. Yeah. And then usually I'll just sit in bed all day. And then I'll wake up the next day and then move a little bit. And today, move a little, or yesterday move a little, or yesterday move a little or today, boom, finally back in the gym. I'm about to go crazy. Actually, today might fucking suck because I don't know.

I'm just not feeling it today. But I'm going to go to the gym, go home. I feel like such shit that I know I have to eat clean. Tomorrow I'll probably eat cleaners. Tonight I'll probably order some meal prep. Tomorrow I'll probably eat clean as well. Friday, I'll get my meal prep. But then I might find something to do outside and then go maybe like drink or something

and then come back. Not eat the meal prep. Order more food. Same on Saturday. The cycle repeats. And then you just do this for about 15 years. And then you just see very slow, very, very slow growth. And quite frankly, I'm sick of it.

I have to lock in, though. Like, I've been waiting. I've been waiting for the moment. I think last Friday was. To sit rock bottom. That last Friday was the moment. It kind of happens like that. It was the moment to the point where like,

Now I've been walking with like a I've been walking like four miles a day with like a weighted vest on you ain't Pam I am started that trend the weighted vest Pam Smith doing that as well oh really I didn't even know that but like even as I'm walking I'm like why the fuck am I walking like run pussy kind of like then you like try and then you're like no I don't even try I don't even try and then I'm like well maybe I could bike and I'm like why do I want a bike oh because I sit on my fat fucking ass while I move my feet Yeah. Why don't I just run like a man?

And then you just walk it out. Then you just walk it out and like, walk it out of your thoughts. I just literally walk for six miles and those are my thoughts. The entire, every step. You walk for six miles? Yeah.

How long does that take like two hours? Two and a half hours? Two and a half hours. Just late night. Courage J.D., man. See, like, how did Jack fight it, man? How did, I'm gonna call him. Is he, wait, can you see if he's live?

I mean, I just can't stand. a motherfucker that actually does it. Yeah. He is life? Fuck. I can't stand a motherfucker who acts in like repuls. Fucking. Dude, repos looks so good.

You see his, he has abs. Yeah, he's been grinding. I'm like, this dude is fucking chubby. And he's just doing it right. Like, even like Hilton, like, he'll, he'll actually, he'll really just stick to the diet. And he'll just, like, lean out.

Like, Hilton was like my size, like 205, something like that. What's the most, what's like the worst part about the diet for you? For me, late night. It's falling asleep. For me, it's prepping. For me, it's like the cooking part.

No, that's not too bad for it. For me, for me, it's late night. I wouldn't even say, for me, it's just late night's sleep. Yeah.

Like, if I just have nothing but healthy foods in me and I'm like eating at like a controlled portion, say I'm at like 23, 2400 calories. It's just, like the, I'm just,

my body's so addicted, by being complete my body so addicted to being completely stuffed like look at this shit like he went from there bro just locks in until there like that should be me one year one year that's all it took that should be me that should fucking be me

but yeah at night trying to fall asleep is just so tough yeah and then I'll hit and then like the brain chemistry will change to where like I'll hit a low or especially if I like if I go out I drink even on like drinking days I can keep it clean and then just like I'm saving calories for alcohol but then the next day I wake up hungover and then I don't really eat till like 3 p.m. but then 3 p.m. hits and I actually am really fucking hungry and I'm like pro like beef, beef rice and maybe some veggies or something right now like fuck no like I have meal prep

sitting in there I can easily just make it but like nah like you know it's a it's a Saturday lazy day. I ain't doing shit anyways. Like I might as well just like enjoy myself, have this. And then boom, tomorrow's Sunday. And then I'm a Sunday, I start going hard. I'm a meal prep and shit. Then like I go out with James on a Saturday that night. Slay out.

Cycle, replay out some bitches. Yeah, like who, you, you, you, we're out. Come on. Come on. All look at you. All y'all. How many? One, two, three, four. Eight. Fourteen. Fourteen girls. And then like me, James, 14 girls. And we'll go. We go to Taco Bell

And then Then I'll wake up on Sunday Feel like shit Yeah, it's just But that's That sort of has been the The summer vibe

Just a Do super well Monday Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Thursday, even Friday And then on like a Saturday And Sunday It's just I'm just fucking drunk

He doesn't look like that James? Yeah No James James James kills his kills the lights And his I do the same thing

Yeah, I feel... What do you guys do? Y'all are like... On my Instagram, I'll post a pick and be like... See, that I look like. That's you right there. That's me. That's the real me.

But like if I post like a downlighting pick, I got a pump. I've ate nice and clean, got some carbs in me. I feel filled out. Take a nice pick in the downlighting. It's nice and dark. I lower the exposure. Yes, you do. Fucking 18 steps.

And then I'm like, I don't like... I don't look like that. But I post it. This is exactly what I like. And then like, you know, a couple, one, two, three. Well, maybe one. So hopefully one, a girl likes the picture. And then it goes nowhere.

Then it goes nowhere. No, then it usually goes to like, I'll slide in. She'll reply two days later. We might set something up for like a date, go out the dinner. She'll text me the next day. Like, she can't stop thinking about me. and I'll be like, yeah, I had so much fun. Then I'll text her like a few days later, won't get a response.

Then I'll be like, yo, let's do this. She'd be like, I'm down. That day will come. She'll cancel. I'll like, all right, maybe this weekend or something. She'll completely ignore everything I ever said. We won't talk for three weeks. Then one day she'll like a picture and maybe reply with like hard eyes.

And then so I'll say something to her. And I'll like, oh, she wants me again. So then we'll try it. And then we meet up again. and then we have a good time, and then we both go home, and then we ignore each other for four days, and then we play hard to get, and then it's just can't respond to text messages too quick, or you're going to seem needy, and girls are unattracted to needy guys. They want some guy who doesn't really have time for them, but at the same time, they want you to have time for them.

And so you're just playing this psychological warfare game of who's going to text who, who's more needy, I'm too cool. It doesn't really matter if you hit me up, but like when we hang out, it's the best time ever. And we both kind of want to get married and have kids, but we're just not sure if that's going to come because we both have egos and Instagram kills our brain cells and we're always looking at other people. We always think there's someone's better

for us. So we're never really going to settle down. And the next thing you know you're 34 and you're wondering what the fuck's going on. So how's dating life going? Well, usually how it goes. Yeah, what the fuck is this? That was a long time ago. I think I was a little lean right there too.

1 v1 me brawl to the death you win in you'd stomp my head in no niak you're too big and strong Hitches whoa I didn't Why did it get Why did it get 73%

Out of 20,000 votes? Yeah You must uh I don't know Must have been a while ago You might have been like late Late process upload or something Yeah

Dude the fucking Every tweet is just Dude it's like it's like people want the process people want they want it to come out

and when it doesn't come out they're like well what could I say that's filled with hate what can I say that will make and then they'll be like what this org used to be is nothing compared to it's a shell of what it once was and it's like you're talking about

of a long documentary. You're not talking about a fucking like what I was doing was so different. And people are just like, and people are trying to rope me into it. You never would have done this. People are saying that and I get, I mean, I wouldn't, but I guess I get it.

But I mean, some of the shit obviously you don't get. People are just saying dumb shit. But I've sat behind Roger a few days and just, like he's shown me some stuff and I'm like god damn this shit's gonna fucking people are going i want the new season of stranger things but i'm not gonna go to the fucking director and be like you've killed all the hype from the last four seasons nothing that you've done will ever like you know we're not even gonna watch anymore i don't even care anymore look what you've done to your and it's like dude like if you want it i get it obviously and they're like

probably me 22 year old stock and shelves at a grocery store just spewing hate. Where is the hatred coming from? I don't understand. But I can say I've seen some of this. What are the replies to this? What are the replies? Just two more months. We're almost

there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hitch would have had this done in two weeks. We're really going to get, see like no one, everyone's so fucking, everyone's so bent out of shape. Besides Sandy. Yeah, well, Sandy's a excited.

There could be videos of you kicking puppies and Sandy would be like, it's fine. It was a bad puppy. Okay. My, what I want people to know for all 300 people listening right now. Right. I've stood behind Roger and he's shown me some shit. And we've sat there and watched and this shit's going. I think everyone's going to watch this.

and be like, holy fuck, that was good. This shit is fucking good. This is the type of video that could, what I was making was only for the optic fans. It was for the same 70 to on. This should be Netflix. What I was doing was the same 70 to 100,000 people that are going to watch every video.

Like we should delay this even more and get it on Netflix. What Roger is doing is very, very different. I mean, I can't even say, he doesn't want much said, but even the parts that should be chill. I was getting chills watching it. You know what I'm talking about? Like, when that, when those parts happen, people are going to be like, oh. I mean, I hope fucking pussies. No, I think.

It's not a movie you have to pay to go see. It's not a fucking TV show you got to download the streaming service for. We're not selling it to people. or you have to buy it to see it, you're complaining about how often the free extremely

quality content is hitting your fucking YouTube channel. And this ain't Mr. Beast with fucking 14 editors doing different parts and working on different... I don't think people... There is, Roger, this is probably going to be the last video that Roger edits.

And I don't know if he said that either. we might have to cut that too. But Raj has a completely different role now. He's a completely different job. He is not holding cameras. He is not even editing anymore. Like he has a completely different job. This is probably the last thing that he edits.

So like he's going to go out with a bang. And also he's got so much other shit to do. Like so much other shit. So I don't know. Obviously. And if Hex was here, he'd be like, shut the fuck up. Like you would have had this done a week. like that like hex is kind of pushes that narrative but like for this shit let him work let him

fucking cook no when it drops people will understand i think when it drops people will understand no fuck fuck those people i i hope they keep that same fucking energy even when it drops yeah why they're over there fucking beating it seeing murk pop up for the first time dude i can't even say anything that i know but the the how murk how Merck comes into play in this is fucking crazy. Do you know what I'm talking about? Yeah, I think so. No, I think.

This video, this, I made visions from a week to week basis. I would, whatever happened on Monday or whatever happened on Tuesday to the next Tuesday, that's what I covered. Raj is starting. This video starts with Pred on the team the first time. Pred got dropped And he comes back Gets dropped again We pick up Merck

And all of that is covered in one video It is a movie basically About one season Yeah Of an entire Esport team So like I'm shit

He showed me man I'm I don't really care When when stuff like this drops Yeah You never watched a vision Like I never I watch some of the visions

But it's like I appreciate them And it's just, I don't know. It's just, I don't want to say not my thing. But this, while watching it, I was like, damn, I'm fucking excited to watch this. Just every little part he showed me, I was just like, holy fuck, man, this is so good. Like, just different times, like, just the perfect, you know, like, in all these people do interviews. And then, like, say, like, while Dashy's talking, it'll show him, like, walking up on.

stage and like right right but just different there's so many there was just different shots that were just that connect so hard which is like like how someone's sitting like i mean i don't want to like talk about certain parts so i'm just going to completely make something up how fucking like like see murk's doing an interview and then he's just sitting there like this just like in the back backstage fucking locker room or whatever the hell rooms they have back there and it's just the music's going in his interview and it's just like boom he says something in an interview dope as fuck the music hits at a perfect time and he stands up

and it's just like little shit like that and you know just little shit bro everything was just so good it like it kind of gave me chills just standing in there watching like I think this is gonna be amazing I think this and I think what my initial thought was I made I made videos for optic fans for the same 70 to 100,000 optic fans and then every once in a while I would make one where it would go past that.

This, I think people from other e-sports are going to watch this. Like I think people from other... Yeah. I think this is going to be a gaming video where people are like, what? Because I think,

I think a misconception that I think is just now turning, at least I think it's turning, even though I'm very biased, is there is something in the atmosphere of e-sports where it is the gaming org is better based off of the amount of teams that they have

when I don't think that fucking matters like if I think you need that staple team TSM had their League of Legends team fucking Sentinels had their their Valorant team 100 Thieves phase has their fucking CS team 100thieves had their hoodies How did the thieves had their great hoodies?

Faze had And Faze is a little different Because it's two different orcs Like Atlanta Faze and Faze are two totally Different things. So like Faze has their CS team But like Optic we we've always had our Call of Duty team

And for some reason Optic fans turn that And be like oh you guys aren't a real or you don't have four other teams And it's like do you want us to have four other shit teams? But it's also we've tried And like no one gave a far We've done that with Apex, Rocket League,

Halo, what other, I mean, CS, Counterstrike worked. Counterstrike did work. And I think if I don't know. Gears maybe worked a little bit too. I think,

I mean, gears kind of worked. But that's just because we had the number one team, dominant is, right, right. If we had a top three team. Yeah, no one would.

Like, if we had a top, dude, if we, if we had the best team in N. In a, in Counterstrike right now, we would be a top 25 team in the world.

Does that do any fucking thing? Yeah. If you're like, I've, I can think of five orgs right now that have 12 teams. And no one fucking cares. Like, no one cares unless those teams are fucking winning. And in order to get 12 winning teams,

you would have to go. I mean, it's so delusional. So delusional to think that that's even possible. And over the last five years, we've seen we've seen so we've seen teams what was it eG won valerate worlds and then drop their whole team a hundred thieves won cod champs and then budget cut their whole team it's like what like what the fuck are we doing at that point like yeah yeah we're a legit e-sport for one year we won the championship

but now we now we have to sell our fucking clothes sell our used shoes in order to keep the lights on because we've spent all this fucking money and now we can't afford anything else like that's just insane to me. So like what we're doing here is we're taking our team that is Optic that everyone knows that's our staple team. It's always going to be our staple team and we're making

the best fucking quality content about it and that's just what we do and I'm glad that it's happening. Sorry, I got ranted there for a little bit. Kind of like you with the girls and you're not getting any girls and shit. Yeah, it's kind of just rant what you're passionate about. Just kind of same. Yeah, kind of same shit. Yeah, no, people

people will understand man. understand um i guess on a more positive note a lot of fucked up shit happening in in the world we talked about on the optic podcast yeah what did what did you guys talk about when the optic pod boz was talking about this dude in dallas got his fucking apparently it was some dude killed his boss chopped his fucking head off rolled it down a drive look riley's gonna bring up the clip yeah do not bring up the clip bring up the clip i do not want to see the clip i saw it let me see what the guy looks like who is that the murderer? No, that's the murderer. Bottom right.

That's the guy who's head got cut off. That's the guy whose head got cut off. What the fuck. And it's not even on some like cartel shit. It's just like, they both, from what I read, they both worked at the motel and they got into a bunch of arguments. He was killed in front of his wife and child and head cut off. I don't get it. That's him. I don't get it. People are, I just

don't get it. I saw the video. I stayed off Twitter when all the Charlie Kirk shit happens. See, I saw the Charlie Kirk shit. I didn't want to see it. I didn't know it. I opened Twitter and I was like scrolling and it was like Charlie Kirk's something, scroll down. Of course, the video's right there and it's just boom. I didn't

close up. I didn't know who I didn't know who Charlie Kirk was. I never even heard of him. I know who he is. I wasn't like a fan. I didn't sit there watching his videos and stuff. Alexis texted me and said, I just saw a guy get shot on Twitter.

And I was like, oh, I'm sorry. Like, that's Twitter for you. Yeah. I didn't know it was going to be, I didn't know it was a fucking political assassination. Yeah. A witness said that they were,

the guy was cleaning a motel room when the victim approached and told not to use a broken, broken washing machine. What? He became upset that the victim was speaking to her to translate rather than speaking directly to him. I mean, I don't know. Surveillance should fucking pull out a machete.

Like, why do you have the machete on you? Like, you're just like, if he fucks, and you know what, I'm sick of this shit. Like, if he, if he fucks with me, if he, he says the wrong thing. And then it's like, it's one thing to like, just like, boom, machete shot. And then you're like, done. but then to get his head off. Wait, did you say you saw this?

I saw the video. I saw the, I saw, because, and he walks out with the head by like the hair or something? No, he drives away and I don't know if he tosses it out the window, but it's rolling.

And then somebody goes up and picks the head up and puts it off to the side. And they're just like, literally picks the head up and puts it off to the side. Dude. How fucking scarred do you got to be to, to see that. Dude, it was, oh my God.

Just some witness, some casual, some normie. It was from like a... Walking down the street, fucking, it was from like a surveillance camera too. Surveillance camera like up here and you can see the whole parking lot. It was dude, I literally, I finally put Twitter on. I was streaming.

I was streaming while I saw it. And I turned on Twitter and I went, bro, the fucking world is fucked. I think I said that. And obviously, Blake, thought I was talking about the Charlie Kirk thing and he was like well you know sometimes he was like yeah it is fucked but like you know people are talking about it and figuring it out and I'm like dude no you have no idea what I just saw and this is what I saw I actually didn't even know

if it was real until because I like blocked it on my brain until you just told me Bose was talking about it but like I did everything in my brain or everything in my power to dodge the Charlie Kirk shit which I did I never I haven't seen it but then I put 12. I haven't seen this one. It's, oh, it's fucking... I mean, this is all within, like, two weeks. You see the... The...

What was she? They got stabbed on the bus. Bro. Oh, my... She was... I didn't see that. I didn't see that one either. I mean, the girl on the bus, they got stabbed.

People were saying it was, like, obviously, the dude's psychotic. And, like, schizophrenic or something. Yeah. What was she? He was... Ukrainian. Yeah, Ukrainian. Fucking ridiculous.

man it's it just feels like it feels like everything is so gross in the world right now that's what it feels like well you kind of what's the what's the quote i'm looking for i try to i stay away from it because i feel like what you think about becomes your reality and like i don't want to live in like this scared world reality where there's wars like i feel like i'm living in a war and this is worried about what this guy's But this side's going to save it's this side and this guy this economy's falling apart and our president and our fucking This guy got shot and like I can't wake up turn on my fucking piece or turn on my turn on the news And like get sucked into that like that's not what I want my reality to be like

Like of course there's a general reality but your perspective Will become your reality. You don't have to get all caught up and sucked into all the negatives and stuff you can like live in your little i don't want to say box but like like your perspective on the world as i wake up it's another blessed day i'm going to eat healthy today feed my mind body and soul say some prayers have a good time try to serve others pet your dog take them out yeah uh try to get a girlfriend get on a go on a date don't text for a few days like like that like that like that can be your react like that that can be your perspective that can be your reality you can have a great life like that instead of indulging your indulging yourself into just nothing but negatives and it's us versus them

and i'm a victim and they don't understand me right and blah blah blah and also you're not changing the world by tweeting about it anything else going on uh college football college football college football Let's go WVU. West Virginia. Why? That's the school I would have went to. If I didn't have a... If I didn't have a learning disability, but yeah, thanks.

If you really gave it your all, you could have made it into West Virginia. Yeah, well, Clayster. And we probably would have teamed and I would have been a Codwold champ. That's nothing to do with school, though. Did Clay go to West Virginia? Yeah. I don't know if he'd graduate. Mount Mama

Yeah, that's where I would have went. No, we should pick an NFL team and let's pick an NFL team and we're both, we both be fans of it. Just die hard. Then let's go to like Sess House on a Sunday. And then just like be rowdy when our team plays. Marcus Vic. Marcus Vic. Michael Vic.

But then we'll have no fun. Why? It's just going to be lost. I think they're pretty good. When they were on, aren't they pretty good? Are the Texans good? They're not good?

Oh. Yeah, fucking Dalton Schultz when he was on the Cowboys, I was a Cowboys fan. He's not there any longer. I don't, I don't really care. I kind of want to,

I kind of want to be a Vikings fan just because that's the only team I was ever a fan of. But that was like Randy Mosh, T'Kohlbeber, Chris Carter, fucking. You don't want to be a Ravens,

fan? I could. Isn't that what is that what your friends would be? Yeah. A Ravens fan? Actually, a lot of people where I grew up were Redskins fans. Same. It was either Redskins or Ravens. Because like the There's mostly Redskins though. Yeah, because like the generation

before me, there was no Panthers. So like if you were from the, if you were from the North Carolina, you were a Redskins fan. I feel like there's Loki a lot of Redskins fans. Yeah, I think so too. Like they just kind of ran that those few states. They hate the cowboys. They hate the cowboys. Yeah, that was always, why

was that? I felt like that was like America's match. It was like Redskins versus Cowboys on Thanksgiving. Yeah, that's what I thought too. But now it's like Eagles Cowboys is what it seems like. Redskins versus Cowboys was always a fucking rivalry. Like that was the

on like Thanksgiving, bro. I swear I would always. 17th biggest rivalry in the world. Oh, wait, what are the biggest rivalries? Can you look at up sportssters biggest rivalries the sportsster biggest rivalries i bet you it's going to be duke carolina i bet you it's going to be what is uh packers packers uh is it packers uh is it is it behemadalee versus joe fraser oh celtics versus brewers i don't oh there's probably a lot of oh it's definitely going to be yankees versus men's

definitely going to be Barcelona. Barcelona Real Madrid. Giants versus Dodgers. Michigan, Ohio State. Yeah. Arkansas. Michigan. Cowboys Redskins at 17.

Duke Carolina at 16. Wait, what? Bears, Bears Packers is what I was thinking. That's a bigger rivalry. Celtics and Lakers. Celtic and Rangers. Those are both soccer teams.

Ravens for Steelers. I don't know if that's 10. I can't believe Duke Carolina is all the way up there. Nah, Duke Carolina was huge. When I was growing up in a Duke Carolina game. Liverpool, Manchester United. Argentina versus Brazil. Now it's going to be some like worldwide.

Red Sox, Red Sox, Yankees. Duh. Why didn't we think of that? Yeah, the first one's going to be the El Crosco, yeah. Barcelona versus Real Madrid. Yeah, we got to figure out our teams, man. Got to figure out our teams. Who do you want to go for, man?

We got to pick before we. I think we have to go for the Cowboys. We gotta be Cowboys fans? I think we have to be. There's just nothing else to do. I just think it's funny. I think it's more funny than anything. Like I'm never...

We gotta show up to Sess out one day and both of us just have Cowboys. I'm down, I'm down, I'm down. Fucking merch. Imagine we just picked the most random team like the Jets. Well, we're fucking... We're like the Browns. Bro, the Browns and the Lions growing up,
