You guys were good to go. You guys are good. To episode. If you get it right, I'll give you three bucks. Wow, that's weird. You said that because I was, what did I watch? I watched some, where the fuck did I see it? Some of the Flycast episode popped up and it was literally the first thing I heard you say was that same thing.

I think this was like, it was like the Flycast, it popped up on my YouTube. It was like the Flycast returned. And this was like our first episode back. And then that's how we started. It was like episode, what are we? And you're like, I'll give you a, you were like, I'll actually give you $100 if you guess which one. That's how, that's how rough life spent.

I went from 100 to three. What do you mean? He just said, back in the day, I was just like, yeah, I'll give you 100 bucks if you get it right. Nowadays, I'm like, y'all, give you $3. Back then, the shit was moving. What are we on? 74.

Oh, $3 safer, 75. You actually, like, I was like, oh my God, I was gonna have to

give you three bucks. Episode 75. That's actually pretty dope. We should do something big for 100. I wanted to do something big for 60 fucking nine. Also,

before anyone yells at us, this episode, like every episode, brought to you by Corderoy's, the most comfortable being bagging. And fucking business.

It's also brought to you by Center, sparkling CDD drink. Let me get a sip before we. Yeah, take a sip. Wait, did you already crack? Oh, you already cracked it. The crack in it open is the best part.

You tried it. Dude, it's good. You actually can feel it. Yeah. Did you ever feel it? Remember? The first time I ever drank when I didn't know it was a CBD drink. I thought it was just a sparkling water drink.

So I pounded it. Yeah. And then I was like, what's going on? Bro, I've tried. I remember we did gummies for a little bit. Like we didn't have like a sponsor anything. Yeah, we did. I went out and got sponsors myself for the Flycast.

We're not going to say their name. Yeah, but we had like a CBD gummy. Yeah, we had CBD gum. Yeah. I went out, I made a deck. I wonder if I could find a deck. I made a deck and I was pitching Flycasts. Because this is when it was going on your channel.

Bose just walked by like, Bose wants to be on here so bad. He doesn't want to be on the watch party. The watch party's going on right now, by the way. Yeah. any screaming or distractions. It's hard. I literally can't fucking like concentrate when I hear the background.

See, I think we, maybe we do something like really obnoxious so that people are like, what was that? And then they'll be like, oh, it's the flycast. And then that's what, like 40,000 people.

We just promote the 40,000. Does it work like that though? Maybe. I don't think so. Actually, yeah, it does. Because every once in a while, if Matt's screaming and something crazy happens

to the TST stream, I go, oh, at least six people come over. They're like, just so you know, we can hear you a Matt stream. Yeah. And then, dude, the boost and shit that should have talked, well, I mean, didn't have to talk to Bose about the boost. But it was like, once those watch parties start, dude, what I, like, I get, scump is amazing. Scump is great at what he does. He's super entertaining, super consistent.

Very likable. Very witty, funny. Keep it going. more smoke up his backside he's losing weight yeah engaged engaged getting married a kid on the way living the perfect life i'm just kidding there's not a kid on the way it's just true we know now we know but that motherfucker is getting crazy like number one on twitch type shit dude i was watching uh i didn't know it was i knew i knew once he stopped competing it was i mean these watch parties are like super dope it's a whole yeah no one gives it or cares that much i don't think about cdl like people watch people watch but

they're much more likely now i think to watch when it's like yeah people they fuck with well i think i think i think that's like kind of the future of it all you even see it in uh on tv like shack shack that was literally the shack and uh and uh charles bark yeah charles barter did you see that clip of them laughing at at KD, no at AD AD getting real chair it off That's so far They're just fucking laughing

Dude that I did shit had me laughing But the Payton Manning And Eli Manning have their show together Where they want all they do is just watch the game People like watching that They watch them watching the game They watch NFL

They watch an NFL game It's called the pain Is that legal Because it's on NFL network Um, damn, that would be dope. It's really fucking cool. It's cool because, like, the clips that come out of it, they're like, like, they'll, they'll be, like, drawing up a play and stuff.

Yeah, I guess if you're a big cod fan, that's how you, like, you look at Scump, like, a fucking Peyton Manning type. For sure. Oh, for sure. So it's like, could I be able to, dude, I would love to be able to, like, hear Peyton Manning's brain picket. Yeah. What's going on in the NFL?

Imagine, like, LeBron, like, some. I was going to say, like, like, yeah. Like, imagine, like, Larry Bird and Jordan, like, have a show or something like that. You know what I mean? I wonder. That would be crazy. Yeah. There has to be clips or something of, like, Larry Bird and shit talking about Jordan, right?

Larry Bird? Like, I want to, yeah. I want to, like, really. Ironically, one of the best trash talkers of all time. But did, do they always give Jordan's flowers? Or is anyone like... I feel like the older generation doesn't. I feel like they don't.

They don't. It's just his generation and like young, our generation too. I mean, he was, I would say he was more iconic. That motherfucker. Larry Bird? No, Michael Jordan. Oh, yeah. He was, you think he's more iconic than LeBron?

Yeah, I mean, I think his impact on the game was crazy. Probably the biggest, is it the biggest impact of anything? Of any sports game ever besides maybe, I mean, Or it can only speak for Americans, but like... Boxing? Yeah. Muhammad Ali. Tiger Woods.

I was thinking, I was thinking like Michael Phelps. But that maybe that's just American thing. Maybe, I, maybe like swimming is huge in other places. Like, you know what I mean? Like, in Kenya, the, like, track and field is gigantic. Like, they, like, love that shit. Is that, like, long distance sort of shit? Yeah, like, marathon running and, like, street running and track running and stuff.

Have we talked about that before? How their pace? I can't run that. Dude. Like, I can't, I could run 200 meters at their pace. I'm guessing you watched that YouTube video.

That was like, I feel like I've seen a few. How he broke. Yeah. So there's, there's, this is a Kenyan runner best, I mean,

fastest runner ever for, or marathon runner. He ran a seemingly physically impossible time. He ran a marathon, 26 miles, 26.2 miles and under two hours.

Under two hours. What's that? What's that? The, I think the pace, I think the pace is like, dude, it's,

I don't know. I don't know. I don't want to butcher it and say like five minutes, but I feel like it's something like that. Like something weird, like a four minutes and 30 seconds. He were, yeah,

so he ran, I'm not going to know how to say his name, so I'm not even going to attempt it. I'll say it. Iliud Kipchogi. Yep. Kipchogi. Ilouid Kipchogi ran the fastest marathon ever,

an hour in 59 minutes. And I'm looking for his... Was he the first one to run a marathon under two hours? He's in kilobit's in kilometers. I hate that shit. Does most places, does most of the world use kilometers? We might have to cut you saying that. I hate that shit?

No, the next sentence. Does most of the world use kilometers? Why? Because yes. Like all of the world? All of the world. Why do we use kilometers is so shit? That's the right.

Well, I think Miles is shit. And I think Fahrenheit is shit. Fahrenheit is 100% Celsius is shit Celsius is so easy It's zero to 100 real quick Freeze at zero It freeze at zero

Boil at 100 I think that's the I think that's what it is Unless I might be dumb I don't know Damn no Fahrenheit's better What?

You think so? I don't know I don't know It might not be Well I don't Okay it's What's this fucking pace Average pace per 5 kilometers was clocked in at 4.

So he was running a 1421 5K. A 14, so 3 miles and 14 minutes. 5 kilometers, right? Yeah. That's what K is. How many miles is a 5K? Dude, some people hate us. A 5K is 3.1 miles?

3.1 miles in 14 minutes. I might go for a new. Yeah. 3.1 in 14 minutes. So he's running, dude. Wait, dude, you have your, pull out a calculator. Yeah, just tell me with the plug in. Because I, my brain doesn't.

Mine's mine either. We weren't supposed to have a fly cast today, so I wasn't prepared. 14.21. Then it warmed the brain up. 14.21 divided by 3.1. 1.358.064. Okay, that's no way. That's right.

Yeah, wait. 14. What? Wait, what are we trying to do? You did not do that right. Say it again, though. 14.14.1. 0.21.

divided by 3.1. 4.5. So he was running a 4.5 minute mile. Like 4 minute, 50 second mile. That was his pace. Holy shit. We just had to. I can't.

That is insane. That was his pace. I ran. For two hours. That was his pace. insane dude want to know what I ran today

did you did I see are you in Strava bro my Strava I can't get it to connect I can't

it has do you have an Apple watch no Garmin no I don't have anything just phone oh you just use your phone yeah

see I I use my Fitbit watch and it won't connect it won't sink like most people sink it to their Strava I should have had Matt do this here

I'm just gonna we're just gonna do it live do one of these uh yeah I did I did five miles today oh shit

at a nine minute 50 second damn took 49 minutes 10 seconds that's actually crazy I I plan on doing four but then I was at like I plan on doing four miles

but then I was at like three miles and like 70. 3.70. I was like, fuck this. I'm going five. I did four last week. That's crazy.

What's crazy is my pace was nine minutes, 50 seconds for the five miles. But my pace last time, 839 mile pace for four miles. No, I don't know how you did that. I think it was. That was when you took shrooms. Yeah. No, I don't know how you did that. But I took them in illegal.

I started my run and, In Oklahoma. Right. And then you ran back four miles home. Of course. So, yeah, I seriously think something helps with that. It's weird. It has to be.

Like, at the end, today felt nothing like my other run did. I felt like euphoric. Today? I felt. Oh, no, the other one. Yeah, the other one. Oh, yeah, no. My other run.

All right, so today I ran five miles a week ago. I ran four miles, but my pace was really good. And beforehand, I took mushrooms. So it's like as I'm running, the mushrooms are kicking in. But I took it on an empty stomach, and I barely took any. It was like maybe, I would say, like, 0.7 of a gram. Like, it would take like three to four grams, I think, to get you really tripping. So I wasn't tripping by any means.

But something about it, like, felt like it opened. I was just like, it took me to, it just felt like it took me to a different place. I don't know how you felt like I put my awe into it. Yeah, I don't know how you do that. This I felt like I was just chilling. Like I was trying to run slow on purpose. And this felt so much more like a regular fucking noob human run. I'm so bad at running slow on purpose.

Like I get, I get 25% into that first mile. And then, bro, I'm at like a eight minute pace. What's your? I'm at like a 745 or like 750 minute pace to 8 minute pace And then by mile one and a half I'm like fuck why did I go that hard? Because now I have to struggle I think my slowest mile is my first mile really I have to get like warm my Maybe that's maybe that's why I've never had pain and aches like this like it's my shit immediately when I start running

I'm like I immediately hamstrings knees feet ankles They just like, they're kind of aching. And I'm like, all right. After this, like, first mile, they're start, like, feeling better. Yeah. And, I mean, they really don't. I just feel like I get more warmed up. Just get warm up.

And I think I can actually, like, see it on here. But, yeah, I'm pretty sure my first mile was always the slowest. Dude. Yeah, it was a nine minute first mile, nine minutes second. Or wait, what was this? Oh, that was for the fast one. but yeah i have to like warm up and stuff dude it's crazy how

is it how do people run when they're like 50 i'm like this it maybe i'm just not a natural runner because the fact that you did a 10 miles and i thought about that today i thought about doing it doing 10 when i was at like four miles and when i was coming up on five miles i was like i could keep going Don't do 10.

This is like, I'm gonna, like, injure myself for no reason. Don't do 10 without, like, gels and shit. Do you think? I don't like having anything in me. I woke up, drank maybe half a bottle of water, and went. Dude, I got, like, a vest, because I tend to run it, like, 5 a.m.,

but I, I've been running with, like, dark clothes on. No, no, no. A rabbit feeder? No, no, not one of those. But I got, like, like, a, like, a shiny, like a, what does it? it like a vest, a construction worker vest, but it's like actually,

it holds like a water bottle. So you run before you go to sleep? No, like if I, or either before I go to sleep or like after I wake up if it's like really early. And then I have my phone in my pocket.

I have a pretty big phone. I mean, it's like a, it's one of these like extra large ones. So when I'm running, like it feels like I have like breasts. And by the way, if there happens to be women watching this

and you run like salute to you. Because holy shit, bro. Yeah, but sports brawes, there's no way. If you got huge fucking jugs. There's no way. That's why you don't ever see runners with, like, giganto knockers. Because, like, dude, that has to hurt. Not only would it hurt, like, your actual breasts.

Like, it would have to, like, it slows you down. It's annoying. Because, like, I would put a bottle of water in here, and my phone, and it's just, like, boom, boom, boom. Yeah, I would not want to. I go out, shirt off. I just have my little fucking. fucking baby shorts and just and just do my thing yeah dude running it's like why do why why

why have you chose to run well if any if anything because we've i know i have i'm sure you have people seeing you starting to run and doing this fucking shit and like slowly starting to get back in shape like why i guess like why are you doing it and why like if you're on the joe broken podcast right now and someone's about to put some monologue of some fucking music behind your monologue what are you saying to the generation what are you saying to our generation we're not listening to you if I just say the mental stability you get

just really go for it no I mean running is uh all I've I've always I've said this a hundred times but I like like like running and I like sports more than I it's all I've ever done is run or cardio or stuff like that. I've never, never lifted weights. I've never played.

I don't know. I've never done, sorry, Matt distracted me. I've never been like a weightlifting guy. Whenever I go to the gym, I usually go on a stair stear-steper just because in soccer. Did it feel more?

Yeah, soccer. It just feels natural, more natural. Yeah, well, I was fit in my, entire life up till I was 18, like really fit, like extremely fit. And then I go to college and it plummet. So when you come back and you're like, okay, I got to get my life together again, you just do what's natural. So like I just went back to running or went back to soccer. I went back to soccer like two years ago. And then I got my surgery. So then I stopped. And then now I'm, now I'm like running and I figured I want to and I started doing this video I'm doing a video still still I

dead ass don't even know if I'm going to finish this video before the vegan video like I don't know which one's going to take longer that's how hard it's going to do and I'm still trying to break my mile time no you're going to break wait 530 536 ever 536 you think I'm going to be able to get a 536 that's that's like what my fastest mile is I'm thinking it was 530 exactly but that's been so fucking long but yeah I don't know that's it's about my fastest ever damn I kind of want to go try a mile but I'm afraid I'm going to hurt myself I wait I do not want to hurt myself did I did I explain did I tell you about my the mile that I ran the other day so I ran I haven't the GoPro in your yeah go pro in my head and then the wavy grass so I was running I was running down the street I had a

GoPro in my head. And I was, it was, it was the first time I've really, like, tested or, uh, yeah, like timed myself for a mile since the first time I started. The first time I started, just cold turkey, ran out there, tried to run a mile. It was like, I ran in 950 or something like that. I think I, when did I, I, I, I remember saying this somewhere. I don't know if it was just me and you talking. I don't know.

Um, and so I, I, for the first time since then, I timed myself, I was going as hard as as fucking possible with a GoPro. strapped in my head down the side of the street and uh I ran like at 730 and dude when I stopped dude it looked when I stopped I like went down and when I

put my eyes open the grass was wavy like when I was walking on the grass I was like is the grass like is it super uneven it was just my eyes were playing tricks on me the whole grass on walking back because I walked back through the soccer fields brain was doing some crazy shit yeah

It would, dude, it was, it hurt, everything hurt. It hurts so bad. What hurts for you? Like, my sides cramp really bad. My side's cramp if I eat anything. Like, I don't eat a banana. I don't eat anything. I'm on an empty stomach every time I run.

Or I cramp. Dude, my sides cramp like crazy. What was weird was today when I did the five miles. When I stopped running, my whole upper body felt, I could breathe. I could have. a conversation. I went, I felt, I felt like my heart rate went back down so quick. I wasn't even like out of breath. I wasn't like, this was after your four miles? My five miles. Oh, today. After my four miles, I was kind of dead. Yeah, yeah. But after my five miles today, where I like kind of

took it easy, but just made sure I ran the whole time. Yeah. Like when I was done, I was like fine, but my legs were just like. Your legs were killing me. My ankles, like it like hurts when I go like this, by the front of the shin the back of the is it weird it's hard to explain to people the knee felt like I had like a ball in my knee

it's hard to explain to people that like whenever you're running it's not fun it's not fun at all what it is nothing is fun about it and you and from the moment I start running

until I stop I want to quit yeah from the moment I said from no I was going to quit it two miles today I was like, you know, after my, during my mile, got the first mile done, I was like, I'm just do two and then like walk a little bit and maybe do like another mile. I do two laps. I do two laps around like the block that I'm on and I pass my house. And so when I pass my house the first time, I'm like, that's probably good enough for today.

Like it's a two mile loop. So I, when I pass it the first time, I'm like, you know, I probably could just go upstairs, take a shower. but then, but pushing, pushing myself through that, like, I think finishing feels good just because you put, you set out a goal and you accomplished it.

That's pretty much like the only, but also, like, when I get upstairs to my apartment and like, I like immediately strip butt naked, throw everything in the, in the washing machine. And then I'm like,

you know, getting ready to shower. And I'm just like dripping sweat. I mean, you know how sweaty I get. So imagine after four miles in, 80 degree 85 degree

humidity I'm just like dripping sweat and I feel like at that point I'm like I accomplished something just because my body

is like reacting this way that kind of feels dope but but why have you decided to run instead of because instead of like

solely lifting wakes like you always have well I've been doing so I'll do these past like two or three weeks I started doing maybe it's been the past 30

no I think it's been the past three weeks I'll do an hour walk on an incline in the morning and it is so boring like unbelievably boring I would never do that it is so... It doesn't sound fun but it's like I can do that

and then go lift later in the afternoon or something like that because it's so low impact it's just boring and annoying and once the 60 days is up I'm I'm not doing that shit again It's either going to be a run or a lift.

Like no more, probably not anymore two days. So kind of why I started getting at first, when I started trying to run a few months ago. And then I like kind of hurt my hip and hurt my back. And I was just like, I guess I can't fucking run. I started because I was just like at a place where I was just like uncomfortable. and like typical like depressed and anxious and I was just like I have to like expend this energy that's inside me yeah and I when you're when you're anxious and depression like you kind of sit there in a show I was like spending too much time in my room or in bed or still like kind of doing my thing so I was like lifting weights and stuff

but like I would just when I when I get home it's not like I'm like doing something on the computer research and so I'm being productive like I'm just like I'm just like you're like I'm just like like, I don't know, and my little fucking, like, scared ball. So I feel like at first when I started running, it would get me to... Yeah. To breathe. Like, when you really run and it's just forcing you to breathe, it's like, like, finally, I fucking, I'm like starting to feel alive.

And then I injured myself and then I'm slow, had to take like a month break from that. And then now I started slowly getting back into it. but I've noticed if I, like, I'm supposed to hit legs today. And it's just like, I don't think that's going to happen. I'm probably going to hit arms and, like, do legs tomorrow or something. But now I just do it. It's less boring. A lot of YouTubers I watch do it.

And they seem happy. I think it helps my mental. And I think it helps my mental a lot. It burns more calories than doing some fucking stupid walk or something. Yeah, that makes sense. Just, um, you know what? There's, I hate it. I don't enjoy it.

But there's something, it's like a, when I'm running and I put on these new shoes that I got, my fresh socks, and I'm just shirts off and I'm in my fucking, my little shorts. Like, I'm, like, envisioning, I'm that TikToker, you scroll up. And it's run for my. Run five miles with me. And then it's just like, I don't know, cool music. And it's just, I don't know. I kind of just want to, I imagine myself in that sort of light and like inspiring others.

And honestly, I feel like, and I think a lot of other people should listen to this. I feel like I don't know what to do in life as far as like. creatively or like work or you know it's not like i'm like thinking of something a way to like build my stream even though i do have an i rrrrl stream fucking idea that i want to do i'm not necessarily thinking of like youtube or some business working on some business model or any like it's almost like i feel it's like i'm like a little lost Like, I'm not painting optic shit to, like, sell. Yeah, yeah.

Like, I just don't have an, like, almost like a hobby or an outlet to where people can, to where I feel like a lot of people have, but I feel like a lot of people have what I have. And it's like, they don't really fucking know. And I think working out like this is just the, is something anyone can do. and it gets almost like it gives you fucking purpose or something. Yeah, I would say purpose is the biggest, the biggest thing.

Like it's like, it's better than, I don't know exactly what I want to do. I don't have everything planned out, but I feel like this working out shit is like the easiest stuff to where it's like, all right, I'm not exactly sure what I want to do in my life right now or like, I'm starting to grasp more of an idea.

And I envision a bright future for myself, but with things I want to build. But currently, it's just like, I don't, I don't know. I don't know. Almost like if you don't know, you don't know where to start you, it's like, damn, you don't have a hobby. You don't seem interested in much. Start doing this shit and at least like change your body. Just start walking and then like, just see if you can jog. It gives you, it makes you feel less of a loser at night.

Here's what I was I was actually thinking about this on my run this morning I don't want this to become like a fucking fitness yo we work out podcast Yeah and then they look at us they're like you don't really but but what I think what I like about the flycast is like they are very Understanding of who we are Rather this what we're not a fucking talk we're not a fucking motivating well we're not a talk show with topics and we're not gonna I'm not over here about the drama I'm not over here like do you want to get like me? Look at this fucking body You can have this if you worked out Fucking get off your ass and work out

You can look like this No, it's not like that It's very much like yo we're fucking nerds that Have been depressed before and now we're trying to get our shit together So we just want to talk that's what I'm talking about But what I what I genuinely like about it is you know You know how we talked about how we don't like video games that much anymore Or it's not like a passion that like I'm not I don't want to

I get nothing Yeah Just don't get much out of it But you know, like when... I'm pissed off more than fucking anything. You know, like when you did like a game, like maybe Halo or... Or... Or...

Or when you first started playing, Ranks play on the newest cod. And you see that rank go up and you're like, damn, that rank, that's fucking... That's fun. Like, you're doing the same shit every day. You're playing the same... You're playing fucking Fortress Hardpoint every day.

But what keeps you going is seeing that little number increase, I stopped really caring about that in video games But seeing my mile time increase or seeing my splits increase Or see or going to my like Fitbit app and looking and seeing like how many days in a row I've done shit That gives me that feeling that I used to have for games Sure And and so like it's the same shit It really is the same shit is the same feeling like if you like playing a game and you like watching your rank go up

try this shit because it's the same thing or if you're fucking just bored as fuck with video games you're so stale to you like I think like me and you are kind of video games I think are a little stale right now

try this and it's good for you as a human being it's good for your brain body that part of it is fun sometimes I'll just go on my little Fitbit app or a lot of people use Strava and just seeing like it's just like rewatching

like one of your past broadcasts or like looking at your stats from a different game or like things like that you're like oh shit like I fucking I drop 40 that game or I hit you know I I ran a eight minute mile like that's fucking crazy that's dope because three months ago

no way I was dropping 40 there's no way I was running a eight minute mile I was struggling to run a whole mile without walking which is how I feel now I can't run four miles straight without walking I can't You can't do that?

No, I still can't. Do you pause your shit? No, no, no, no. Okay. No, I only go and I walk for five seconds max. Okay. And then I start jogging again. Oh, man, you got to do the whole thing.

It's so hard. It's so hard. I guess. Now I'm pissed off. You said that. Because I just, today on my five miles, I ran to the very end of Katie Trail. And then, like, it just completely ends. You have to turn around.

Yeah. At the little, just a little pole, just some fucking pole at the end. Yeah. I got there, walked two seconds around the pole. And that's sort of technically, I walked for two seconds. Literally, I think, two seconds. Then I was like, let's fucking, let's fucking go. But the cool thing is when I started this, I would, because I started doing two miles a day.

And then I was like, actually I want to do four. And it's because I heard that Andrea was running four miles a day. Andrea was running four miles a day and then boxing. I want to know if she hurts. Like the motherfucker. I'm in pain. Four miles a day for her was her warm, like her warm up.

And then she was boxing. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's take a quick break from the podcast because I got to let you guys know something. This Flycast podcast is brought to you by none other than center.

And just seeing how much she liked to do that, I was like, shit.

Like, I could do, if I want to break, if I want to eventually break one mile time, you You have to run longer. You can't just run a mile a day. And for the first two months, I was just running a mile a day and just trying to get faster. But it's not, you can't do that. You have to, like, train your body to run for a distance. And then you could really push yourself.

And that's how you break your mile. So I started running four miles a day. But every time I would run, I'd get to mile. I'd get to my first mile and I'd start walking. I'd hit my inhaler. I'd drink some little bit of water. And then I would walk for a minute. and then I would start jogging again.

But now I can get, I can get like almost two miles, almost two miles before I have to walk for just a little bit. And then I'm only walking for five seconds, seven seconds, max. And then I'm running again. Yeah, I try to, I mean, I've only done, I'm going to be honest, like two walks, other than, or two runs. Yeah, yeah. I can't believe you're so good.

I can't believe you're so fast already. Well, I think I'm just... I think I'm pushing myself a little hard because it like, I'll go back to my other run, five or whenever I did the four miles with a really good pace. Afterwards, and I don't know if it was the shrooms or what, but I crashed hard. I didn't feel good. Oh, I can imagine.

It was almost like the, I remember in 10th grade basketball tryouts, I went so hard. That you hurt yourself. And that, that I hurt my back. And I remember we got pizza that night. And I puked and I was sick and I was like, it was almost like that. Yeah. Like,

that makes sense. The, the mushrooms wore off a little bit. Um, which it's also, you should try it. It's not like you're tripping at all, but it's like, you're listening to music.

The music starts like, I, I want to send you this playlist because today when this shit, halfway of today's fucking run, I put this, uh, this one, Brett again album.

It just feels so good. I could slightly hear my footsteps under the music, and it was just like, what was I talking? Oh, I just didn't. What was that talking about? Just going so hard. You push yourself too hard. I was going to, fuck.

I had a point I wanted to make. Was it last week's mile? Last week's, oh, last week's mile, I just pushed myself so hard. I just, like, genuinely got sick. Like, I'm going. too hard, too quick. Yeah.

But I get that. And my legs hurt. And I'm probably, this is definitely not good. But I feel like I've been working out. I do, like you got to think I'm on the treadmill an hour walking uphill every single day. Yeah. So it's like my conditioning is there, bro. At the end of the five miles today, I felt like, I was like, I am so surprised instantly.

I was like, I could have a conversation right now. Yeah. Like I was not like dead. but my entire lower body was dead. See, I've been going, I've been going like 94% on all my, which is a lot. It's a lot. But if I were to do what you did, I think,

I think I could go all four miles without walking. I think I could. You just go slow, like a really slow. No, I think I could do it. Just make sure you don't walk. I think I could do it at like, super slow. I genuinely think I could do it at like a 930 pace. We should run.

would but I'd be chalked for the rest of the day. I would be like if I did that, if I did that, if I pushed myself as hard as I could possibly go, it would chalk like, I would be be in your shoes where it's like, damn, I just really, but even, yeah, that was, fuck me up. That was pretty fast what I did. But like today I did five miles and it was like, I don't know. We need to get a run in. Yeah.

I mean, you might be surprised at how like slow. like it. I don't know. Or maybe maybe like you're, you would help push me to not walk. I don't know. Yeah. We're definitely not walking. What really fucked me up was Shotsie. That fucked me all the way up.

So Shotsie, just to say this. Does he even talk about this? I bet you I'm about to say this and people are going to be fucking mind blown. Something about Shotsie, you didn't know title or we're going to figure something out. Yeah. But this is going to blow your mind. So I, after I did my, after I did my like mile or whatever and time did, then a couple days later, like two days later, I decided to run 10 miles or just do 10 miles because I had never like tried. I had done the 30 mile walk here or whatever, but I never like run.

Like I wanted to run. So I was trying to run 10 miles. So I ended up like jogging. It was like a 10 minute pace for like two hours. I ended up doing it. And I was like, holy shit. Like, that was slow. Like 10 minutes to, you know, 12 minutes.

Dude, that's fucking. And I was like, I did it. I did it. And I'm glad I did it. It's very fucking slow, but I did it. After you say this, I want to hear more about your experience. And then, so we were talking about it. And you were like, dude, you did 10 miles.

And I was like, yeah, like, yeah, I did. And the only reason I did it is because I had just bought that vest. And I had like, like, the pouches for all the fucking shit. And I was like, okay, cool. like I'm gonna try it. And I was very proud of myself that I did it. And then Shotsie's doing a wing stop ad here. They're shooting it.

And he comes up to me, he's like, yo, dude, you, uh, you've been running. I was like,

yeah, yeah, I started running. And I was thinking he was about to be like, yeah, I want to get into running too. Like, where do you run?

Or do you want to run together or, what shoes do I get? Or that's what I thought he was going to say. And then he goes, oh, do you have, uh, yeah,

I've been running too. Like, do you have a Strava? and I had just learned what Strava was that day. And I was like, yeah, but it's not like set up. I was like, wait, do you run? He's like, yeah, I've been running like every day. And I was like, what did you do?

Oh, I was like, and so I'm thinking like, oh, shit. Like maybe he's running like a mile a day, you know, like before Scrimns. And then I was like, I was like, let me see a shot. Or he was like, you want to see my Strava? He's like, yeah. He's like, all right, dude, yeah, cool, no bullshit. Yeah, here it is. And he shows it to me, scrolls down.

It was the day before. It was the, so we're, I'm having this conversation with him on Friday. It was Thursday. The day before. And he was like, yeah, here it is. I look at it. This motherfucker ran 10 miles at a 9 minute pace. 10 miles.

He ran 10 miles at a 9 minute pace, scrimmed and then streamed. And then woke up and did it again. We're talking about Shotsie. Yeah. Dog, I have been fucked up ever since that. I bet you he was like, I looked at him like I was mortified. I was like, what? Is that how you reacted to him?

Yeah, I looked at it fully expecting him to run a mile a day at a 10 minute pace or something like that. And he shows me 10 miles at a 9 minute pace. What's his last name? And I don't know how I'd find. I typed in Shotsie. I'm like, am I going to find them like this? What the, I shouldn't fucking notice. That is like, that is absolutely insane.

Quavis Castro. So I don't fucking know. Wait, his name's Quavis? Anthony, he has two, Quavas Castro, C-U-E-V-A-S. Did you look a shit up? Or you just? No, because my Strava does.

still doesn't work to this day. I can't figure out how to make it fucking work. Castro? Anthony. Quavis space Castro. How do you spell? Or Anthony Quavis. And I was just like,

bro, I was shocked. And so I immediately, it was 21 questions. I was like, where do you run? What do you? When do you run?

How would choose you? How do you? It would completely. reversed to what I thought I was, the conversation was going to be. And page, and I go to page and I'm like, did you know shots? He's been fucking running? She was like, yeah, he's been running for like eight months. He's training for a marathon.

I was like, he's what? He's training for a marathon. That's why he's running. Apparently him and Kyler run all the time. And they're training for a marathon. Okay, I found this shit. He did? So, yeah, read it off.

Make me depressed. Well, I scrolled down. it wasn't no 10-mile or I mean he had the one 10-mileer yeah and that was May 6 10 miles May 5th three miles at a 936 pace um May 3 3rd 4 and a half miles and then there's a break from April 13th 3 miles 3 miles 3 miles 3 miles 3 miles 3 miles 4 miles 3 miles 4 miles four miles, two miles. Where the fuck did he just randomly decide to do a 10 minute mile or a 10 mile at 940, at 10, 946 pace?

Dude, I was so shocked. That's me if I kept going on the five miles exactly like I was going. No, that's insane, dude. I was, because I had been talking about how like I had got back from the 10 mile run and I was, it felt worse than the 30. mile walk. I felt more nauseous. I felt like I was chocked. Later that night, we had community night for TST. So it was like a really important stream. I couldn't miss it. And I so I had I tried to get in like two hours of sleep afterwards. And then I tried to eat something and I thought I was going to

puke. I was like limping to stream. But I try not to like, I try to be that the guy that I am on the flycast when I'm talking about my fitness journey. I try not to be that guy on stream. Because we try to just talk about games and shit. So I was trying to, like, not show it, but I was fucking hurting. And, uh, we need Shotsie as a guess. For sure. So I started telling, I, and so I started telling him about it. I was like, bro, like, what?

Like, I, I, I, I ran 10 miles two days ago, and I still feel it. Like, I still, I felt nauseous for like 15 hours. He's run 141 miles this year. On top of. Here's, here's what I want to, here's what I want to fucking say to all you. you watching. This man is a two-time world champion. He is currently on a top two team in the world.

Scrims six hours a day. Also streams is the face of Call of Duty in the CDL right now. It gets more viewership than anyone in the CDL. And he also is training for a marathon. He is a homeowner and he lives with his girlfriend and has a great relationship. She owns her own fucking business. What's your excuse? At the age of...

At the age of 15 or however old he is. What? I'm saying what's your excuse? Because I want to know what fucking my excuse is. Yeah, I didn't even... That hit me like... My excuse is gone too. All my excuses, that's what hit me the hardest.

He showed me his Strava app and every... The fucker's just built to me? All of my excuses left. All of my excuses just left my brain. No, I'm doing 10 miles. I'm going home stretching out for two hours I'm drinking

bring a gel when you do it Where do I get a fucking gel? It literally anywhere 7-11 Yes They have gels Fairly positive Or something

Because that's what I was feeling I think that's why I was so nauseous Is because I I just I Because it was like I mean what was it like

6,000 calories Or some shit like that I want to run more Like that made me want to get up and go run. Yeah, same. I just, my muscle. He's young, man. This is why he can do it.

See, there it is. Excuse, boom. Excuse immediately. That's what everybody else is thinking. I wonder what his lady is doing. But he's a fucking gamer. He's a gamer. He can afford to do it.

We're doing the fucking marathon with him. Yeah. Yeah, we are. I'm doing a marathon this year. 100%. I'm doing a, I'm for sure, doing a half marathon. Half marathon. that's what,

15 miles? 13. 13.1. You're not doing a half marathon. You're doing a, let's do a half marathon in like, I want to, well,

I would, like August. I want to do, I want to do, I want, next year I want to do all, all races in a year. Maybe not a year.

Maybe not a year. I eventually want to start my journey of doing all the races. So 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon, Marathon. What's an ultra? anything over marathon.

So like a 50-mile or a 100-mileer. What about a 30-miler? I mean, I don't know if they have 30-mile or races. They might. They probably do. But I tend to think ultramarathon start at like 50. But those, bro, have you watched an ultramarathon like, Doc? Uh-huh.

We probably talk. This is literally all I watch. It shit like this. Have you watched the Barkley one yet? I don't think. Where dreams are to die? bro you have to watch that one is the best i think it's the best youtube documentary i've ever watched in my life besides smash brothers where dreams go

where dreams go to die it's got the coolest thumbnail because the dude who the dude who he follows around looks like a fucking beast he's got a big ass beard and shit yeah man what the fuck yeah see he's it looks like a beast and he's a red head this dude's just a fucking he's a red head i have seen a little bit of it apparently like it shows a little red The show's a little red. Yeah. No, it's the best,

it's the best, I'll watch this. I'll watch this when I get back. It's one of the best dogs I've ever watched. I'm trying to fast right now. I,

I, not eating shit is so hard, man. Like, I couldn't, like, it's just, it's sleep.

I can't, my body is full on addicted to falling asleep with food in my stomach. I knew I was done with the calories. Like I was like, that's enough, man. You got fucking nine days left on your, on your 60 day goal, man. Don't you want to be shredded, the outcome.

And I'm just sitting there. The brain does crazy things. Like, you can vent yourself like, yeah, but like if you, you could do this tonight. And then, like, you go on a run, you fast. And then it's just every single night. Last night, I caved in, ate two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. and my brain didn't even necessarily make me feel guilty about it. I mean, it's peanut butter and jelly.

It's not like you're fucking crank it through a bag of Doritos. But like I'm eating so clean. Something like a peanut butter and jelly is like... It's a notch in the armor. Yeah. It's definitely a, it's not a part of the program. Yeah. I suck with nutrition.

And I was convinced. And then like something popped on YouTube about like, or, TikTok or something about how important and good for you fasting is, like at least going a two-day fast. Fuck that. And I was like, I'm going to go on a fast tomorrow. Like, I'm going to wake up, I'm going, get the blood going, just drink nothing but water.

And now it's 32. I still have an 8. This is why I'm drinking like sparkling water and shit. But it's just, I don't know if I'm going to go two days without eating. It's, why, okay.

I don't understand why you would do that, but. Because I've over, I've over ate on my calories this week and I know it. And I can't, I'm so, I hate that. I'm so proud of myself for doing what I've done. These exercise twice a day and eat nothing. You'll see, you'll see in the video, but I pretty much ate nothing fun. Yeah. I mean, it tastes good.

I'm used to it. It's good. It's fucking good. But I'm just addicted to food. So it's like, I would, I thought I would be on a high at this point. and like, oh, almost finished, I'm hype. I'm almost fucking sad. And I'm like, I did not like,

this wasn't as perfect. I'm not fucking absolutely jacked beyond belief and shredded. I get that. But it's fucking, it's too, it's been 60 days. Like, this is such, especially I'm looking at old pics of where I was at. I was damn near 220. Yeah. By the end of this, I'll probably be about 200 when I step on the scale for the last time.

So I've gone twice a day. That's amazing. Dude, what's amazing is I've gone twice a day every day. And it's fucking, I should be so proud of myself, but it's just like, I didn't. I've had times where I've ate too much. I know I've ate too much. I didn't truly sacrifice the 1,000 percent I know I needed to. but if I kept going how I'm going right now

six months from now I would I would literally not look like a different person but like I would probably be kind of shredded not not fucking super shredded but it would just like I'm eating a right amount of calories to gain muscle but you've never made one of these like challenge videos before

and I promise you all people care about is the is the experience they care living through you and the experience like when we do these hundred hour videos does you know my mindset before the video is like I want the before and after picks to be to be like I want to be like fucking redded and like I want like to be inspirational but like I want it to go perfectly the whole time go perfectly but like that's shit that's not the that's not life yeah it's not the fun part like the the most fun parts of our 100 hours videos are when we get stuck or when we go down and we have to work our way back out of a pit and

then like like those are so much fun and those are like what keep the keep the video like moving so like those these days i don't know if you've been like filming yourself while you're feeling like bad and that's what like i'm mad about that like when i didn't feel good after my run and it was like it would be a perfect time to be like i'm only 12 i think maybe at the time like 12 days out and like i don't i'm down. Yeah. I mean, but you could also... I wish I would have picked up the camera, but I was like so down.

It's like, dude, I don't fucking feel good. Then say that. In the, in the video where I walked here, dog, when I'm at mile 28, I'm not recording myself. Dude. Fuck that. I was limping. Bro, I haven't streamed for a week.

I'm like, I want to just get this shit over with. But like, that doesn't mean that I can't explain. Like, I explained it. I was like, just so you know, guys know, When I hit 28 miles, I was not recording myself. I was limping and I had EDM playing in my ears and all I cared about was getting here. That's all I cared about. And it still made the video like pretty decent.

Like people still like the story behind it. So I think that's just all you have to do. Did it do good? Are you happy with the- I mean, it's the most views I've had on one of my personal channel in a very, very, very long time, like four years. So, I mean, yeah, I think it's a good, it's definitely a good start for that for my channel. And also, even though my shitting hasn't gone perfect, I would be so mad if I didn't just start. If I, if I didn't just, if I still look now how I did two months ago, like I would be so annoyed.

And I would, I would, I would probably look the same. Because you would just keep saying, yeah, I'll just start. I'll just start next week. And I would slowly start working out more, but I'd still be heavy. And it's just like, it's sort of, it's, it, it has sort of like warped. I know when this shit ends, I'm not going like, I, I've come too far. I'm not going to go eat. I'm going to have like pizza or something for just one meal and just say.

Oh, for sure. Yeah. But after that, it's like, I'm definitely not throwing this shit away. Like it's just, it's too. The amount of respect. I have for people who diet for like a body bunting show it's absolutely insane

because food is nuts imagine me like rich imagine me a rich roll he's been vegan for 14 years and he's an ultra marathon runner rich roll right is his name yeah the podcast yeah yeah he runs marathons

and it does Iron Man's and ultra marathons those guys don't they run so much that they can eat whatever the fuck they want I'm sure he eats healthy But he probably prefers to be vegan He wouldn't even want to eat No he does

But it's just like dude Dude Yeah I mean obviously It's insane It's fucking tough 14 years strong And never being like

One chicken sandwich won't hurt Yeah Or even more Even A one You know like Chicken and rice won't hurt With some saratja sauce on it

That won't hurt like never breaking that's insane and like people will talk shit about like being vegan and I think it's stupid even though I'm doing it but like the discipline the mental discipline to do that is you gotta respect that at least at least I heard uh it kills more

animals to to make tofu really is to kill to because to to make tofu like a tofu plant fucking farmer dude was talking about it. It was like the amount of animals I'm poisoning and wiping the fuck out to make your tofu is so much more than killing cows. The amount of rabbit, squirrels, and all these little, whatever the fucking little rodents,

he's like, I have to kill all of them. Or they're going to just eat the shit out of my plant. So to get your fucking tofu, like he was like kind of a trolley type like guy saying it like that. That's so funny. Hit you your fucking tofu? I'm counting all this shit. I don't even know what tofu is.

What is it? I don't know like some fake. I mean, you, what you don't know what it is like at all? Well, I know what tofu is. But like what is it? I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. They're trying to make it seem like it's like chicken. It's so bad, bro. It's so bad. Yeah, I've never too. It's so bad. You can't be eating that great. Like,

I've gotten better. Over the past like three weeks. When I first started, it's not been good. It's been a shit ton of... Because you can still eat. There's some... Obviously, vegan has good fucking shit. You could eat Oreos every day.

They're vegan. Yeah, I had Oreos yesterday. They got pretty good cookies. Yeah, they do. What's been your favorite vegan... Like, something in the vegan world you didn't know, food-wise, that you didn't know existed. Polofal.

you. That's your favorite? That's something that I've never had before that I was like, I might as well try it. It's fucking amazing. It's deep fried. Balls of hummus.

That's all it is. And it's so good. Damn. Bro, it's so, I mean, I can't, but that's what I'm saying. I was eating falafel and rice, tahini.

Like, I was eating, I was eating, like. Do you ever think like, maybe? Fuck this video because like maybe no one's gonna give a fuck no I haven't thought that okay No I've thought that about the mile video fuck this video I'm on my third my third run of the week And I'm a mile in and my feet are giving out and I have three miles to go yes I've thought that bro on

I had like a I just turned 30 it's like um it's valentine's day I'm running it's like 11 p.m at night and I get that mile down and I don't know what had happened but everything hit me at once turning turning 30 I was like going through some like shit and then I'm doing this video that I don't even believe in

I believe in it now wow video but I didn't believe in it at the time because I was so slow and I knew the video was gonna take forever I'm also doing this fucking Polaroid video at the time where I'm taking a Polaroid picture every day and it's just a lot and I'm trying this vegan thing

and then also TST is doing 100 hours. Like I'm doing a bunch of challenges all at once. And then everybody had just moved down here, so I'm commuting for the first time. A lot of shit's going on, and I just break down crying on the side of the road. Weeping, like weeping. Wait, mid-runner, after your run.

After I finished the first mile. So I still had half a mile to go, because I was only doing two miles. But it's 11 p.m. I'm crying, and I am puking. on the side of the road. Did you get it on film? No.

I did because I didn't. With your GoPro on your fucking head? No. I'm just literally like, it's Valentine's Day. And I'm just like, you know, Alexis isn't here. She's, she's gone. I'm like, it's Valentine's Day. She's not here.

So that sucks. And then all this other shit's going on. And I don't even believe in this fucking video. Why the fuck am I running? It's 11 p.m. And I just like am crying and I puke on the side of the road. And then while I'm doing that. because

and then puking a dude runs by me I didn't know he was coming because I had earphones in but a dude runs by me and I'm like I'm so okay I'm okay I don't know if I've had

I almost want one of those to happen you haven't had that I'm very surprised you haven't had that I get I have cried more in the past month than I have in the past 10 years and that's I'm telling you that's not That is 100% accurate

I don't know why It has to be because I think Running I don't know if it's like this for you I was crying on the first episode of recording my like challenge Really? Yeah Because you were like didn't want to do it No just like when I went out you know

I sit down in the chair Do the fuck yeah and I'm with Lando I just meet that day And I'm like dude It was fucking it was weird but I'm just like tearing up on camera just like talking about it. Yeah.

Because I think, because how this shit started was I was just like, constantly pushing it back. And I'm just like, fuck, man, this is always who I've been. Yeah. Like this is just,

I'm so, like I do enough to get by. And I, like, there's so much like untapped potential. Yeah. And I feel like there's like these sparks of genius that I,

I just will never put to use. And I'm like scared of if it fails or do I will look like an idiot or just every fucking fear that will stop you from doing something. And I think the only reason, the only thing that's pushed me past that feeling is the Sangria video. Because I've already done that. I've already put my, I've already put my absolute all into one thing and it failed. Oh, the Pokemon.

Yeah. So like I can do it again. I've already done it once. I don't have a problem doing it again because I still love that video and I really cherish it. Just no one else did. So like, so if I do, if I, if that happens with this vegan video like Blake, Blake will like make fun of me and be like, Dan, that's crazy.

You're like not eating me for a 30K video, a 30K view video or he'll like razzling me and shit like that. And like, even if that is the case, it doesn't matter. I did it. Mm-hmm. Which is really. Which I'm sure that's how you felt, right? That's how I feel at times.

Yeah. But then other times it's, um, my brain is such a like negative thing sometimes. It's like, like other days I'm like, I can't believe I fucking twice a day every fucking day. And none of these other motherfuckers are going to do this fucking shit. And it's just like, like this is just what I'm passionate about. And like, like, even though I'm not like killing it with a streaming or a YouTube or a content or like I'm killing it in like a different way yeah I'll have those thoughts but then i also have thoughts like just the negative of like god but like my my diet wasn't on as on point

or as perfect as I wanted it to be uh like I just some nights I a lot of nights I ate more than I should have. I mean, I was still losing weight. But it was just like, like, all the, any, anything I didn't, this workout wasn't really that great. Just anything. I haven't put as much effort into, like, I made this and decided to do it for this, like, documentary thing. But I haven't put as much effort into the documentary as I wanted to, I'm like a little, feel like a little loss with it. And not sure. how it's going to turn out.

So it's just, even though I'm doing this, then any other motherfucker would feel like super, the old me would feel like even just being in, like I think I've done like four videos this week, still worked out every single day, still eating clean as fuck. The old me would be like, damn, I'm killing this shit.

Yeah. But it's like, I'm looking at it like, like I was just, hopping on stream was just like stressful for like too much straight. And even though I try to, to like act like it wasn't it just was i didn't it was towards the end of cod ranked i just wasn't enjoying it switched to halo and it's all these like these fucking shitters shitting on me and i'm just like dude i don't have like i don't don't i don't i can't focus i don't give a fuck yeah um so the past the

So I just, this past week, I was like, I'm going to take like a day or two break from streaming. And it's just been a week. But this has been the most this year. I've streamed practically every day besides my trip to Colorado and this past week. Yeah. Like I streamed. And to just be like, I don't know, I just, everything felt so stale. I'm like, dude, this is the most consistent I've ever streamed in my life.

And it's like at some of the. worst. It's been, not really viewer-wise, but kind of like, but sub-wise. I mean, we're at an all-time low, or not an all-time level, but we're at a low. Yeah. I think that, and I'm just like, dude, this is the most consistent I've ever been, and it's just like, it's not working out to the point, like, I still, people still come in and chat, like, it's not even like the viewers are that bad. I've had some, like, fun IRL streams. I've had some really fun streams, but it just feels like I put, I just tried to be super consistent at it

and it just didn't. I don't know. Actually, it was going well for a while. But then once the CAD ranked started getting fucking boring, then I switched the halo. That shit was just pissing, literally almost ruining my day every time.

I'm like, dude, my days are, if I didn't stream, I feel like I wouldn't even be stressed. Yeah. It's what I was like, because like, I don't, People don't... Dude, you get to play video games

where you can play. The fact that I used to... I used to be fucking good. Like, I used to get on and I would like... When I'm matching other top pros, like, it's me versus them. It's like a competition.

Now, if I fucking... Lucid's on that, I'm fucking pounded. Like, I'm another shit-can player. And it's just like... It's depressing. I don't know how else to fucking say it. but I get on and I lose the shitters who have just been grinding the game

and I'm just like, it just got stressful and I know it's the fucking I have the American easy job of not living in a fucking third world country and I have everything I need but it's like it's still just like you adapt to your reality and then this is this is just the type of shit that is just fucking stressful.

So even though I'm doing like good in like other aspects shit like that just I don't know it's fucking it's also just a lot it's just a lot to fucking focus on I don't know

it just like between trying to better yourself and then also like at least for me like I'm always thinking like damn I uploaded I uploaded in my walk video but now what like I guess I got to get ready to do another challenge type video

to you know film for myself while I also am working on these other two videos that are going to be a year long and then also streaming at night but like we can't just stream anything because right now everybody's viewership is going down except for like a solid viewer I have noticed I was like bro no one's really popping right now

unless you're scump yeah I mean it's just that's just that's just the how it goes it just flows up and down but you see it across all these ports you see it on the optic channel I mean the optic it but I've stopped really caring because it Always goes back up as long as you're consistent,

as long as you hit the right ways. I don't even, I would say I probably sounded a lot more stressed about the numbers, but it was, it was more so getting that stress from like playing Halo or cod ranked and just feeling so fucking annoyed while playing and getting pissed off. Yeah. For like,

like if I was, if I had 4K subs and I'm on a 200, sub train i don't give a fuck if i'm getting pounded but if if if my fucking stream if like not many people were talking like that and like i no one subbed in an hour like it's and you're getting fucking pounded that's when i start that's when i'm like bro i'm like what why am i even doing this so it's not even like the numbers and i i've said it a few times but it's like the viewers weren't even bad like i'm and there's usually there's always people like like chatting so it like makes it worth it

it makes it fun but then when I'm just like all right stream I don't know what I guess we're fucking playing Halo then we start I start playing Halo and it's just like god why the fuck do I play this shit you should I do an IRL stream you just react to shit all

the time just do what XQC does just go whatever you do at home where you go online and you just watch videos just do that on stream I don't like the fuck who knows I can only imagine what XQC is fucking into with like watching i'm watching like chris bumsstead talk with a list been fucking work out and shit oh that's the huge guy like i'm watching like sort of boring shit i don't know

if they could then don't know what should they own watch what i what i do kind of enjoy besides having to hold my fucking arm up is i rl streaming yeah so i got to figure something like it kind of i did it for like i feel like two or three weeks and i'm like it just got to a point I'm like, this isn't something I can do every day. Yeah. Like, hold your arm up like this for like two hours or for an hour. Yeah. 45 minutes.

And it's just, I can't. Doesn't seem fun. But I do enjoy that. But with, like, IRL streams, it's not the, it seems like it's not the same interaction to, like, I'm talking the whole time. It's very, um, it's very interactive, but it's not like, people aren't driving. to five gifted randomly. They're not like,

subbing. Like, you don't see an alert go off. You don't see a sub train. You don't see enough. So it's like, it's hard to like, it's like, it seems like there's no growth with IRA streams. Like I like doing it. I think I have an idea of what I want to do with like,

I want to build a whole fucking, I want to build like a bicycle, have Matt Craig help me somehow, but have like a stream cam. my cam on my bicycle to like re-chat and shit and like if I want to I can like flip the I think I'm just going to buy another cell phone to where I can like flip it so you can like see the city that I'm biking in or I can flip it back to me and then I just I have my phone here I have a JBL in the back and I'm like can play music and we just I bike around Dallas with like an hour or two an hour or two every day and when

you get a sub it plays to the JBL if if I can figure that out that would make it more like, I don't know, interactive. But that's one idea I have because I do enjoy, I can start on my stream, I can ramble, sometimes it's like therapy, but just past few months,

I just needed a little break from just like, I'm just getting frustrated. Yeah. Playing fucking video games. It's hard to, it's hard to be, it's hard to be entertaining when you're frustrated, though.

It's hard to fake it. Yeah. Well, at first I was faking it, but I'm like, it's been, two fucking months. It's been two fucking months of me just getting pissed the fuck off

at these video games. Like, I need to find, I say it to my chat every day. I need to find something else. Like, I don't mind streaming, but it's like, my favorite part of streaming is the, is the first 45 minutes, 30 to 45 minutes of the stream where it's just me and Blake and George talking and then like us,

like talking with chat. That's the best part of the whole stream for me. And then we'll play Rocket League to end it, and that's fun because I really like Rocket League. But everything else, I'm just like, just kind of going through the motions. And I hate feeling that way because I just know it might not be good content. Some people still like it. And some people don't like aren't complain about it.

But for me, I'm just like. I still feel like sometimes it's good. Like people enjoy me. And I get it. Sometimes, like sometimes I'll exaggerate a little like I'm fucking raging or something. Yeah, yeah. It's like, I get it. But then I got to a point where I'm just actually genuinely fucking.

And it's not, it's not like I hopped on cod ranked for the first time. And I'm getting goose in S&D where it's kind of funny. It's like, I don't know. It's just, uh, basically our lives are really hard. Yeah, right. Is, uh, yeah. So all you guys that are just got done with your eight hour shifts moving steel beams for your construction jobs, just know.

You could have it actually hard over here sitting on the most comfortable beanbag known to man, the corduroy's optic gaming beanbag. It's fucking tough. So just thinking of it. So next tomorrow when you clock in, be grateful, man. Be grateful you're working. When you put that top, that hard hat on, just you're lucky, man. Would that not be too bad, don't know. I respect it more than anything, bro.

People that have those labor intensive jobs. I feel like I would, if I, I was gonna say if I wasn't doing this, I would have like a labor job, like a fucking moving company. I would never have a labor job. I know I wouldn't. I feel like I'm so bad at it.

I have to get outside. Yeah. All right, well, thank you guys so much for watching. That's episode 75 of the flycast. We're gonna try to get by, sponsor, by Center and Corderoy's. We're gonna try to get Schatzie. We're gonna try to get scomp.
