There used to be a life I lived where I didn't have shit to do.
Now I'm just so fucking busy.
Oh my God, you've done three days of vlogging and now you're complaining already.
All your workload?
Three days in one week?
That's crazy.
Dude, I don't know how I used to live like this.
I mean, I do know how.
Not live like this, like, recording three days a week, but like never, ever doing, like, anything.
So you're saying how you used to live?
Yes.
Like last week.
Like, no, not last week.
I'm saying doing nothing.
At least I would like stream and started working out and stuff.
You're saying post Miami.
I never went to Miami.
Sorry, post Mexico.
Yes.
Yeah, post Mexico.
Like God, dude.
You're never allowed in Mexico again.
I don't want to go.
Like, my girlfriend wants to travel and stuff.
I'm like, I don't, yeah, like just throw it.
Even when we went to the Colorado trip, it really bucked with me.
Like, I was like, I was trying to bail so hard.
I was like, I was mad.
I was like, Paige, I'm not going.
Like trying to like put my foot down, defend myself for once.
The page, I'm not going.
She was like, you have to.
And I'm like, what the, I'm going.
I'm going to miss the, hey, the watch party.
And it was just like messing with me.
Before I wouldn't give a shit.
I just loved going anywhere.
now
I don't know what
yeah I don't really know what it is
it's just like it's not even like
it's like I'm
I just like feel more accomplished
and I feel like I've never
gotten to feel like this
in like a long time
like if you play Halo and your scrims are going good
and you play scud
you feel like pretty good
you're like damn that workout's putting in hell yeah
but then like I feel like that went away
for a long time
I don't know.
It's sad to see, I think, like, a lot of my friends still playing, still playing Halo or, like, trying to make it.
Or it's like, I don't like seeing, I know what they're doing.
They're, like, just spending all day on Halo, nothing to show for it.
And I'm just like, you need to, is it fucked up to tell people to get a job?
Yeah.
Well, people did that to you for, like, five years.
They didn't really say get a job, did they?
I mean kind of
Or less yeah
Yeah I guess that that was their message
That was their message
They didn't say
They might not have told me to like leave optic
And go fucking find a job somewhere
But
But that was kind of their message
So how's it bad man
Yeah we're on the come up right now though
My fucking fat belly hanging out
I just went like this
And a fucking roll just bloop
It just bloop
It's going pretty well
Where do you wait where do you wait now
I think I've lost
three pounds in the first week.
Hell yeah.
I'm going to try to do, I'm trying to lose.
You want to lose about two pounds a week.
I would say my weight, two pounds a week's good.
I want to take it a step further to like three pounds a week for the first few weeks and then maybe two pounds.
Started around 214, 215.
Weighed myself this morning.
I was 211.6.
By the end, I mean, I can't really do the math.
of like, let's these do this for 60 days.
Yeah, I can't do that fucking math.
So you're doing two, but you're doing two a days for 60 days?
I'm not doing, I don't know, when I say I'm working out twice a day, I think people think
I'm hitting the gym twice a day.
Like, and I technically am going into the gym, but I'm not lifting weights twice a day.
I'm lifting weights.
You're doing something twice a day.
I'll do, I'll do like cardio and maybe some abs in the morning.
Okay.
And then lift weights in the afternoon or evening.
Yeah.
But it's going pretty well.
So every time you go to the gym, you're not coming out like sweat and profusely.
Bro, running?
I don't know if you were like this because you started running, but running became, it killed my legs.
Running killed my legs.
Really?
I feel like I was, I felt, I never felt recovered.
my hips would hurt
I don't know if it's like
I'm gonna get a new pair of shoes
I'm gonna go to this place called like
Fleet feet
I don't know why you look so funny right now
I'm gonna go to this place called
I think it's Fleet feet where they like
Measure your feet
and
check out the arch
Get you some A6
Recommend whatever shoe you
They think you need
Yeah I'm gonna go there but I don't know what it is
but like my body just feels like it's deteriorating from the from the hips down I have my hip hurts for
the first time of my life see I think it would be the opposite for me because like running has become
more natural again for me but like once once I'm done with this like running journey that I'm
trying to go through like when I start lifting weights that's when it just like kills me like I remember
when we would go to export and I would like do weights with you like like anytime we did like
arms or or uh triceps especially triceps like it would it would like never recover like
it would you would be ready to go back to the gym two days later and hit the same thing and i would be like
i'm still dead but i could i can run i can run i guess it's because i've never the only time
i ever ran was like i mean i played football till i was like fucking 12 or something then i
played basketball to i was six 15 16 and those were the only times i'd run i've never
been like a actual runner-runner-runner to where I'm just running to like stay in shape or get in shape.
I wonder if, yo, we should host a 5K.
People would show up.
People would show up.
Yo, Matt.
We should.
We should host a 5K.
Do you think people would come?
Or like an optic march.
No, let's not call it a march.
Wait, is that?
Let's not call it a march.
Let's call it a run.
Yeah, like a run.
The optic 5K?
I mean, I don't know the incentive of it.
There's, um...
We'll do it for charity.
There's a dude on YouTube.
I'm just kidding.
Yeah, no, we ain't doing that for charity.
This is flycast fucking...
The flycast, the fly cast for profit.
I saw that some dude named Secuno or something.
I don't know what he does, quit stream or something.
Yeah.
And someone wanted to gift them subs.
And he was like, you know what, man?
just keep that by yourself a nice lunch
and everyone was like oh and then other people
were like like
well actually no pretty much
everyone was like oh it's so humble so sweet
and in my head I'm like fuck that
fucking this guy's
already rich of course he's fucking
saying that oh well that's
I think that's what why he said so
So Sikuno is like
known for like saying
you don't have to sub you don't have to
gift any subs but when I do a
when I do a substre or a
a, what is it?
Like a brand deal?
When I do a brand deal or a sponsored stream,
please just show love.
Because that's how he likes to make his money.
But you've got to be huge in order to do those.
So I don't think,
I don't think he's saying like,
you shouldn't sub to anyone.
That's why I said for the 5K.
Like, yeah, for charity.
What about when do I,
what about him for me?
What do I become, when did I graduate from not being charitable?
for to fucking
like I'm a charity project
that's fucking self
I saw
I saw on YouTube of this dude
doing a
I mean I don't know if it was a 5K
but it was some kind of like
DJ
thing where like he was riding a bike
had like a full DJ set
big ass speaker on the back of his bike
and like everyone's just like skateboarding
rollerblading running walking behind him
and it's like I don't know
what if that could be like a thing
Like, do we take it serious to where we like set?
Or do we, can we have like a bike person, just blasting music?
Blasting music.
We're running through Dallas.
You got this.
Like we're running through Dallas or something.
That'd be cool.
People would do that, too.
People would just show up.
For sure, people would do that.
I don't think I could run a 5K right now.
I ran my first 5K in 10 years.
Is it five?
So 5 kilometers.
3.1 miles.
Oh, that's not too bad.
It's not bad.
I could do that slow.
what's your mile pace
uh well
probably like
I've probably worked it down to like eight minutes
which is still
I mean that's still good
that that is fucking good
yeah but dude
for what I'm trying to do
it's I have to start
like I told Lex is like I have to start running twice a day
if I'm gonna because I'm trying to make a video
where I break my mile time from high school
which is 536
so it's gonna be
I have to lose.
I think I have to lose like 20 more pounds.
Maybe more than that.
Maybe more than that.
Because what do you have right now?
Like 210?
205.
Oh, damn.
So I've gone, yeah.
I'm the fattest.
I was the fattest in optic.
Well, no, I wasn't.
But I was thinking, I was thinking of like, I don't know why, but when I think of that thing.
I was thinking of.
You and Hex.
Because me, you and Hex, always talk about our weight.
Jesus, bro.
Me, you and Hacks always talk about our weight.
And, like, we all bounced in, like, scomp as well.
He got up to, like, 210, 215.
So we were all sort of at that range.
So we talked about us.
So I just came up if I had us.
Yeah, no.
Yeah, I've lost, like, 15.
Like, since, uh, maybe even more than that since, like, November.
Because, dude, that's,
It was bad for a little bit there.
Like in November and before that.
Your tits get puffy.
Yeah.
My titty.
It felt like I, even now, I'm so, it's crazy.
It's such a slow process.
It's so annoying.
But like the, I guess like sort of the amount I work.
It takes a whole mental day for me to force myself to get up, go to the gym, do my morning
cardio they're like sometimes i'll walk here and then like run back to my apartment i'll count that as
morning cardio just get like two three miles in the city or so fuck what's my point of that um oh
wake up like that's on your mind then you you're hungry but you just eat a fucking healthy
meal yeah and then you go do whatever work you got to do during the day and then you come home
you eat another healthy meal then you go to the gym and it's just a whole day of like you
of everything, consciously thinking about it.
Yeah.
That's just one day.
And it takes fucking a hundred of those days to like see the results you are.
To see like any results.
Yeah.
You do that 30 day straight and you're like, I think I'm seeing some.
Yeah, right.
But it takes.
But other people will see before you do, which I think is the cool part.
Yeah.
Because people started complimenting me way before like I started noticing it.
It was because you look at yourself in the mirror every,
every day but like I like the fact that I'm like kind of losing neck fat yeah my face looks old
and fat is what I think it does like I mean you notice it like that before anyone else said
yeah I noticed my my clothes don't fit good oh dude that was that was like what put me over the top
yeah have you ever heard that or have I told that like a page D or DMs or texted all of TST
and was like hey we need your size for the new
drop and it was the first time i had ever typed out extra large and like
sin it and i was like same shit yeah i was like i can't believe and then i typed it and then i
went i can't believe i and then i typed i can't believe i just typed that yeah and then i was like
i was like i was like elixie i got to change something that's that's where i am right now and
but like it's crazy that what it took for me was a video what it took for you is a video it's like
that's that's just how we're like trained
I can do it if it's for a video.
How would you motivate people that don't make video?
Yeah.
I don't fucking know.
I don't know.
You have to do something where it's like in order to make it,
in order to make it a conscious decision where it's like it's not,
it's not a choice anymore.
It's like a, I have to do it.
That's the biggest thing.
So in order for it, in order for that to happen for me,
I had to make it, I had to.
basically say
I've already done this.
You're like,
you're setting the tone
for the rest of your life.
Like I know
if I don't do this,
I don't know if I would recover
from like the mental fucking drop
I would get of like failing.
Like even,
I'm gonna allow myself
if it is,
I think I've said this before,
I don't know if it's on the podcast
or maybe the Optic podcast.
But if there's an app,
like a party of like a bunch of the optic people go out or there's some reason to drink maybe
but i might allow myself to get drunk but i'm not even even that day i'm gonna like i'm gonna only
eat like protein i'm gonna like try to like still gonna keep my calories at that point but i might
get drunk and even that's hard enough but like yesterday i went to the pool and there was like a little
not pool party, but just like Michelle
and her friends, like a little
gathering. And
when I think of last year, I'm
showing up drunk. I'm
sitting there drunk. I'm drinking
the whole time. I'm leaving
hammered. But yesterday
I didn't drink at all. And I was
just like, damn, this is crazy. And I kind of
felt like,
I think I felt a little boring
from not
drinking. Like you were boring?
But I don't know if
was boring because i think i was boring like thinking of last year i'm just drunk sort of laying around
too like it's yeah it's probably the same but in my head i'm having fun like fuck yeah in your head
you're just doing but yesterday i didn't have that feeling i just felt boring but i mean i think that's
fine that's is that how people uh who was over here was zinny he said he didn't drink lamar accuracy
Oh, yeah, yeah, you and I saw you.
He said he doesn't drink, and I'm like, how do people...
Are they not...
I can't enjoy, like, a club or, like, a bar or something if I'm not drinking.
See, I don't think I can either.
But that's why I don't go out.
Same.
You go out.
I used to go out a lot.
You were going out a decent amount.
Yeah, it was like five days a week.
Have you ever seen the clip of Ludwig and Atriac?
They're sitting there, and one of them finishes.
is a whole,
a whole, like, bag of cookies.
Or maybe it's a, uh,
gum,
or like,
a candy.
And then the other guy's like,
dude,
did you just finish that whole pack?
He's like,
yeah.
He's like,
you know those were weed, right?
Like,
edibles.
Wait,
actually?
And the fear.
Like the genuine fear
that comes over the other person's face.
I can't remember which one.
It's like on stream?
Yeah.
No,
it was on stream.
Yeah,
yeah.
And,
and he was,
he was joking.
Whoever it was like,
I'm just kidding.
I'm just kidding.
I'm just kidding.
but the
second of like no it wasn't he's like yeah
look at the title they're called like
it just happened to be called like puff
like puff
yeah and so it could have been
yeah yeah I believe it yeah
and dude it was like I wish I could
find the I wish Matt was here
I could tell him about it like to find the clip
but like it is genuine
fear he's like
because I don't even know
what would you do
if you accidentally ate a box
of Girl Scout cookies.
I think I would try to make myself puke.
Dude, I would go to the hospital.
Yeah, that'd probably be the safest bet.
Because you can't, I don't think you can die.
But like, I know whatever freak out is coming is about to be absurd.
They should make, I mean, I guess they kind of have these with like retreats and stuff.
But it's like they should make little, you know how they got like IV bars where you go to, you get some, you get an ID.
And B12.
Those are all over Vegas.
They should make a place where you can go take a fuck ton of edibles and be like taking care of by a nurse.
Because that's the only way I would feel safe.
I feel like they made a movie about that.
What movie am I thinking of?
Anyway,
hospitals or like being surrounded by a nurse or like something like that, it makes me feel safe.
A lot of people get freaked out by hospitals.
I've never been like that.
I always felt safe in a hospital.
yeah i mean i know people that i think people that grow up with medical problems are probably freaked
out by hospitals i know alexis can't send them erin can't sand them those iv bars that you see
in like Vegas actually there's one in frisco yeah there's one like right across the street i think there's
some there's something like everywhere what what are those it says like the biggest fucking scam on
earth it's a scam right well it's a scam first off everything in life is a fucking scam and everyone
rips off everyone.
That's true.
But yeah, these bags,
I had a nurse that would come to my apartment and, like, give me an IV.
And I asked her how much they call.
She said, she said, like, 40, 45 bucks.
They sell them, when they give them to people at the bars,
like, they'll, it'll cost $40 to make the bag,
and they'll, someone will go there and pay $250 for an IV.
but they do also it's just vitamins and stuff it's like vitamins
electrolytes fucking like your B12s you're some other stuff
she would put in mine but like does it what does it help you feel better
kind of I used to last summer I would get them all the time
because oh oh oh you're saying the scam is how much they charge for it
yeah not the but the scam well it's the product itself because it's like
because you could
you're gonna sort of feel better
but it's not worth the price at all
I mean could you just
if you're gonna afford it
if you're gonna like
millionaire artists
like Justin Bieber and shit
they're getting IVs
all the fucking time
like when they go on tour
I'm sure post Malone's
probably getting IVs all the time
just because it's like
one they can afford it
but two after like sweating
fucking
yeah
whatever it's exhausting
I'm sure they're getting them all the time
and it does help
there's like some component
called like
N-A-D, which like, when I would get it,
because last year I was just, like,
sort of drinking all the time.
But when I would get them, I would feel my heart with heart thumping,
and I'm like, turn it down, turn it down, turn it down.
And she would, like, have to, like, turn it down the nozzle
and just make it drip really slow.
So it's like there's some kind of compound.
There's some kind of comp.
But it makes you feel, it does make you feel better.
It, like, dude, we have the weirdest podcast.
The Flycast is the weirdest podcast.
It's not the weird
I mean it's not the weirdest
But it's it's such an interesting
Because I listen to a lot of podcasts
It's not typical
I listen to a lot of podcasts where like
Or like
People watch it
To like be entertained
I'm not saying people are entertained by this one
But like a lot of times it's just us
Bullshitting and other people like correcting us
Or other people being like
Oh yeah
Like that's not right
But like
Yeah
Yeah
You know what I mean
It's kind of
like we're just,
what's just the whole purpose
of the flyguess
in the general?
It's just like,
I've never,
fly on the wall
from our funny,
like dumbass conversations
a lot of the time.
I've,
the podcasts I watch are like,
it's always sort of the same,
not the same subject.
But like with like,
Lex Friedman,
he like sits down with a guest
and you know what the topic's going to be.
Right.
With Joe Rogan,
same thing.
It's down with the guests and you know,
oh,
this is a fucking ancient Egypt philosopher.
fucking, so you know kind of what it's going to be.
But I don't watch any podcast where it's sort of the same two people.
Dude, I think those fucking, I guess those exist, but it's like, do they have, like, I think
of impulsive.
And they're always, they're doing what they should do, have a fucking porn star guest.
Yeah.
The Jake Paul with the drama.
Right.
They'll cover drama topics.
they'll
just take
don't do exactly
what you think
the top Uber
YouTube should do
podcasters should do
but I don't watch any
people that are just like
like when we sat down today
no idea what the fuck
is gonna be said
I think TMG is probably the closest
I mean that's probably the most
actually there's
there's a shit ton of podcasts
like we don't have topics
we don't fucking know
I don't want topics though
for the flycats
sometimes I would
it depends
what the topic is.
Because I enjoy topics sometimes because it,
like sometimes on the Optic podcast,
I'll see a topic where I'm like,
well,
I have no say in this one.
Exactly, yeah.
Because it'll be about something
with call a duty,
something,
something, something.
But sometimes topics give me
a,
I don't know,
like think of a topic that
fucking could be there.
But it would like spark something.
I'm like,
they know that's,
like the phase situation.
Like the phase situation.
Yeah.
we could talk about the phase situation
have you watched like the videos and stuff
all I know is they're milking
views it's like okay they are milking views right now
I would
I would too
at least I say I would
rain has been all in my feet
rain and Tico and Adapt's like
they have been uploading like
he goes fucking up he went back to Sweden
like he it's funny
he made one blog that said like
I don't know what it said
and maybe like,
I don't want to get this wrong.
Like I left or something.
But it's like, well, that was his second one.
His first,
the first video was like,
am I in phase or am I not?
And then the second video was,
I'm leaving.
But then like,
in the video,
you get the gist of like,
oh,
he's just leaving to Sweden.
Right.
Like,
he's just like visiting Sweden.
So he's leaving the U.S.
But it's like,
you see that title
and you think,
oh,
wow,
he's leaving phase.
I think the face is,
I think the,
I think the face situation is crazy because their new school talent that was brought on by the new people are actual, like, actually panned out.
Whereas in the infinite days, they tried to bring on creators, but the creators never really panned out with like, with like the general optic public.
Yeah.
Like, I mean, high pock was ingrained and he worked out and so did Sheila.
but then you have like
Luke denotable and like
rallied and like a few other people
that like were being brought on
but they never really like
cross paths really well
but like I think ever since like
phase is brought on new creators or their like management team
has since it's straight away from all the guys
it's been like nuke squad and Kaylee
and like I'm not gonna lie those creators
kind of those creators like
I don't want to say saved phase
because phase is fucking
they were like number one
so they didn't really need saving
but it was they kind
they definitely carry that fucking
not carry it's just such a different
I was gonna say carried the torch
but it's such a different
you're going from a group
of guys that were
kind of making videos individually
but would also make them together
who built phase
and then the second phase
a phase
the second phase of phase
was these individuals
who care
who were carrying them.
Like, or not carrying them, but they were carrying
phase. Not carrying them individually, like, as if
Rain, Tico, and all these guys are getting something
out of fucking
Kaley and...
I get everything. So you're saying, like, these people are
doing the dirty work now. Like, they did their thing.
Not even doing the... They just did their thing.
Yeah, yeah. I think what you're saying.
All those Fortnite kids...
Yeah.
because like it's just it's just crazy to see like in in the infinite days they we would land like
or I'm assuming that the team would land like a deal and then in that deal the certain creators
have to do things but we all hated what was going on so we wouldn't do it so then they would
bring on their the new creators that would do it under the optic umbrella and that's how you
get like people that weren't run by hex that are being brought on which I'm assuming is the
same thing that happened at Faze.
But like,
all their creators are dope,
though.
But I'm sure the people at Faze didn't mind.
Like,
if,
if the management team goes to banks and temper
and it's like,
yo,
we're picking up swag.
It's like,
hell yeah,
cool.
Hey,
we're picking up Nick Merks.
Fuck yeah.
Awesome.
But like,
they're bringing these people in
because,
uh,
you know,
because of like what that means for the business.
So like,
phase lands a bunch of collabs.
They need people to promote the
collabs, they have to bring on new creators in order to promote the collabs because the old
creator seemingly like they were like...
Yeah, I don't know what, how there's that much beef.
I'm sure it has to do with a lot of money.
I don't know.
I think, I mean, I think rain just like stirred everything.
But I'm going to be, I'm going to be honest, I think they individually popped the
fuck off and they got to the point where they had so much money to where talking about the creators
that they were like, well, I don't need to go vlog. And it was like everyone probably got almost
like us to where like everyone sort of got girlfriends, everyone stopped being in this click.
And it was like sort of go off when they're different in a different direction. And everyone sort of went
off in this direction.
You saw Banks.
He vlogged a little bit
and was killing that.
But then it was like he got so big
and probably like known in L.A.
He's doing ventures elsewhere.
Rain.
I mean,
we all saw Rain's story.
Adapt, who knows what?
He's probably in L.A. doing
fucking,
I don't want to say like,
I don't fucking know whatever they fucking do in L.A.
But it was like he went off for a little bit,
did his stuff individually for a little bit,
And then it was like, I think they were just like good with money.
So it was, they were good with money.
I'm sure some stuff happened in phase to where they were like, wait, you guys, we don't own any of that.
And like we literally built this and we don't.
Yeah.
How do we not own more than this?
And it's like, all right, well, we don't, I don't need y'all to pay my bills.
So it's, all right, I'll be over here.
And just like, they just did their own thing.
just not on YouTube
that's probably
I mean you're probably
pretty accurate
but like
then it takes somebody like rain
to be like
you know
within the year
of them going public
or whatever
all this
all this shit comes out
and in like
the the headline
I keep seeing
is Faye's gonna run out
of money by November
if it keeps going
the way it is
which is crazy
that's like terrifying
I just don't even
believe that though
like what is that even
like
Faze is like they're two
See
I don't
I think I think it just shows how insane like
Esports is because you're thinking
Phase is like
Faze is good
I have recently been like
Faze
I'm tired of seeing their collabs
Their collabs seem like seem
Their collabs mean nothing to me
Commercial yeah it seemed
I liked the Xbox 360 collab
But that's because all of the original guys
were involved in it
Yeah their their collapse just like
don't when you see someone collab with someone it's like oh shit right even fucking i don't give
a fuck about keyboards but what i see 100 thieves with high ground and that's the only thing i've
like or i think that's what it's called but it's like that's the only thing i've sort of see them
collab on that and like some anime shirts well like high ground it sticks high ground is nate's company
oh really co-owner at the company i'm fairly or maybe 100 thieves is
But, but they, regardless, it's just they're not doing, I've seen phase through collab after
collab after trying to sell something after trying to sell something after trying to sell something.
Yeah.
And it's like, and that's just like a collab, it makes it less cool to me.
A collab, in my opinion, should be a collaboration between, between two things.
And not like, like if, if I'm trying to, I don't want to throw anybody into the bus.
So I'm trying to think of some, like if, um, like if Lamborghini.
Genie.
Actually, that's not a, that's not a good one.
I don't know.
Like, let's, if, if somebody wants to come to us and just slap their logo on a shirt and put the optic logo beside it and then provide us nothing, that's not really a collab.
Like, that's just kind of like, uh, we want to make a, uh, advertisement shirt.
Mm-hmm.
You know what I mean?
But like, if it was like an actual collab, like, uh, like, when we, when we do stuff with, with, uh, with, with, uh, with, with, with, uh, with, with, with, with, uh, with,
do even though they're a sponsor of ours like if we want to do a collaboration like a collaborative
merch drop it would be very ingrained like they would us going to colorado they would help us go to
colorado and then we would drop like a ski mask or like a something and like it would it would be like we'd
make some content out of it it would be very much that it seemed like sometimes they were they were just
dropping shit they were just like boom disney it would like be all within within like e-mails and then it's
just like, all right, here's the product.
All right, let's put it on the website.
Yeah.
Like, that's just like the phase logo on something.
They dropped a, they dropped a phase shoe.
And if they hadn't, like, you know, a phase Nike shoe.
And if they had, like, it just didn't.
I don't, I don't know how much it's selling.
I don't know if it's doing well.
But it just meant nothing to me when I saw it.
Because I feel like they just dropped.
They've dropped so much shit
And that should mean something
Faze Nike shoe
If we had an optic fucking Nike shoe
That would be sick
Right and it would
That would be huge
The shit that like
The production team would make out of that
Would be crazy
Yeah
And I think one of the best collabs
I've ever seen in e-sports was
Or in gaming was the
Gucci 100 Thieves collab
Yeah
Because it was
It's not a typical collab
I wouldn't buy it because I'm not going to spend $1,200 on a backpack.
It was meant for people that like that kind of shit for like hype beasty type of people.
But the backpack was sick and they made very thematic photos with the backpack.
They looked like Versace models or Gucci models up there.
And Jack had like the turtleneck on and the Hundred Thieves chain.
And like that was a collapse.
It felt organic.
It felt like something outside of the box.
and it was really cool
because Gucci was involved in gaming
but like I feel like
that should be like
kind of the precedent regardless
I mean it doesn't have to be a $1,200 bag
it can be a $30 something
but like at least like
at least go about that like collaboration
like it's like working with fucking
corduroy in the flycass like you boom
beanbags popping up
logo
being of which this podcast is brought to you
by corduroy
damn what a fucking thing
I mean, this is what a collab looks like.
Is this what it looks like?
Can you guys take notes, please?
Yeah, face.
Because they're going to see this.
Yeah, please.
Page was asking me because of like, you know, I'm fucking shredded and shit.
She was asking me like what companies I'd want to work with.
Yeah.
What's a company?
You, I'm going to think about my answer because I really don't know.
but is there like a company
you would really want to work with
for like
I'm not
what's a company you'd want to work with
but I'm trying to think of like
is there a
what's your like
niche? Is that a word?
My niche?
What's your niche?
And like why would it fit that?
Or it's like you know what I'm trying to say?
Is there a company that you would be like
like a one-off thing?
Yeah.
That you would love to work with.
I
I guess the best
Whenever I start this around the bar thing
Like
We're moving it into that room over there
And I want to film like eight episodes
And then either like
Pilot those episodes
Or something
But I think some sort of like
Really quality
Either beer or liquor company
Would be really cool
Like doctor disrespect
Yeah
But like
That's hard too
Come on, Doc.
Someone clip this and sent it to Doc.
Come on, man.
We can have a table right here.
Yeah, just start sipping.
Come on, doc.
That would be hard, too, because the company would have to understand, like, the basis of the show as you come on, we make your favorite drink and sit down and we talk while we drink your favorite drink.
So the company would have to be, if it's a beer company, say it's Bud Light.
They'd have to be okay with us drinking New Amsterdam vodka or something, which is hard.
so maybe it would have to be a water company
like I don't have like a company
You're gonna have an insane amount of bottles
Yeah
Or maybe you'll just buy the little
No I'll get a bottle per episode I think
Yeah and then have it on the background
Yeah, but I think
I want to come up with like different segments of the show
So I think maybe a water company
Would be best for around the bar
So that for a section
In the in the in the bar
Or like in the series
for a segment of the podcast or interview,
we like drink some water
or like we have a segment
where we integrate the water into it.
That would probably be better,
which is,
but they would have to also be okay
with us drinking alcohol.
That's probably hard to find.
Yeah.
So it would have to be like liquid death
or path water,
which I would love to work with either
one of those companies.
Do we work with liquid death?
Not, no.
Not yet.
I don't think.
Do we cut that?
No,
it's fine.
Okay.
The sales team is,
our sales team is always talking to everyone.
So,
every once in a while,
we'll have,
like,
we'll have some,
uh,
some stuff around the office that people send.
Um,
I hit Crem 1
and ranked play solo cue.
Jesus Christ.
It's a grind.
I'm like,
I'm literally a matchmaking kid,
like talking shit.
Are you guys done?
I kind of wanted to play with you guys.
Yeah, we're done.
Now what the fuck do you play?
So I have just gone through my first week of not streaming.
A whole week.
Damn.
Yeah.
I thought I was going to be able to relax, but like...
Why?
Blake and George both went out.
Yeah, Blake is shooting a wedding in Ireland, so he's going all around doing the tour
De La Europe, which is pretty cool.
Is it bucking with you?
Not streaming?
Not really.
I feel like this, I feel like I needed to not, to not stream for a little bit.
Especially like some shit's going on in my personal life.
I'm trying to work out.
So at least like I'm chilling.
I don't have to like, every single night.
It's not like, ugh.
But I also like, I was on like an insane schedule like two months ago, three months ago,
to the point where like I have I have to change something it's like I was coming in here at 9 a.m.
and leaving at 4 p.m. and then streaming at 7 p.m. every night or every day and I was like and then
Alexis like came here to to like spend like months and that's why I had three hours every day to see her
yeah I'll be you leave at nine you're like I'll be back at like midnight I'll be back at four
and see you for 30 minutes and then I'll be back at two eight and I'll be back at two a
and it's like that's just
I wonder if it secretly eats at them
who
like the girlfriends
if you gotta be gone all day
oh it's not a secret
she was like she was like
but it's not like eats at her
it's just like she's like okay
is it gonna say I really wish this
this isn't the idea schedule
I hope we figure something out in the future
which is fine
I mean I renewed my lease
in Frisco
Dude it?
I'm in Frisco for another year.
Why?
I don't want to move down here.
Why?
What's down here?
Just a closer drive?
Yeah, but I'm trying not to be here that often.
Like, I'll be here for content, but I don't want to be here all day long.
So, like, but Frisco is such a better, like, area.
You're more Frisco.
I'm way more Friscoe.
But, like, you could find a dope spot.
not in the city
just like a closer drive
than fucking Addison
But then it wouldn't be Frisco
Then it would be
But it's like
Frisco is cool
It's not like you fucking
Run the Frisco streets
And you like no
There are no Frisco streets
That's why I like Frisco
It's just like
Families
But there's there
It's not just like
There's Frisco
and there's not
I'm just saying
For the drive
There's like
Closer
I mean the Trisco
Night
Go to Highland Park
With the
With the rich folk
Yeah, but then you're paying $3,000 a month for a regular-ass studio apartment.
You do have a nice place.
If I didn't have the place I did, I would probably move down here.
But, like, I really, really like my apartment.
So, yeah, I'm there for another year.
Damn.
We just got to figure out what I'm most concerned with is the hex quarter goes away in November.
So I will cross that bridge.
when I come to it.
I guess I will be streaming
in my apartment
which I really don't want to do
but...
Why not?
Why don't you want to?
Depression.
And just like living.
Like if you don't have to leave your
place, you'll just be in...
Yeah.
Because like...
And a lot of people
would be like,
well like you just
put it in a different room
and then it's fine.
It's because I streamed in
my old apartment
I streamed in the living room
and then in the scuff house
I streamed in my room
and both of those situations were like, blah.
Like, I didn't like it because I would just never leave.
So I really like going somewhere to stream.
And so the original idea was I was going to stream out of here if I moved down here.
But I just don't, I don't think, I can't like compute it in my mind.
We're like, I leave somewhere that I really enjoy and pay more money to live somewhere else I don't enjoy for a less space.
formal's going to rage
yeah
yeah formal and bruce
they're going to rage
I wish
I wish that like
we just had an apartment
for both of them
already furnished
and then just
bring them down here
and be like surprise
I give them the keys
and then I think they would be fine
I think they would be fine
if they did that
it's just the movie
the lifestyle
the lifestyle
top
the top
one percent of gamers live
oh it's insane
like they don't
have you ever seen xc's like set up
like how dirty it is yeah
yeah
apparently he built his own PC and like
someone had to come
rebuild the PC
really because like
I mean even that that's at least he tried to
but it's crazy how like
not even necessarily
dirty but it's just they live the most
simple lives
not to say that they're like
fucking lucky or anything
like they just
their lifestyle is so simple
it's so centered around
the stream
yeah it's so centered around the stream
or just it's so centered around
sitting down at that PC
yeah but it's like they
it's like food comes to me people come to me
yeah drinks come to me
I will be here streaming yeah
literally
That's what it is.
Like, I've said that, I've said this.
Like, imagine if you were like, like, yo, I don't know, top streamer, instead of being here, you have to be here.
That would be so like, they would have to uproot their lives and like.
Especially like.
But in reality, like you're just moving a city.
Yeah.
But if like form, but like the walk from like the apartment to the hex quarters, it's a quiet walk.
You'll see maybe one or maybe one or two people.
Maybe some rabbits.
Yeah, maybe a rabbit or two.
Then you go up, go to the X-Go, boom, you're there.
And it's like, I think for them, they sort of enjoy that.
Like, that's their one time they're doing, going anywhere.
Yeah.
So I think they kind of enjoy that.
But, like, now it's like, if they move anywhere around here, even me, when I'm walking around,
it's like, there is a lot of fucking people.
Just like, especially in the summertime, like, I know foremost waking up, showering.
Yeah, he's ripping a sick.
walking here for scrimms someone's gonna spot him there's a Dallas Stars game so there's just like a shit ton of people outside yeah he's got to take the back the hidden elevator I didn't even know we had one until yeah I heard about it it's like a myth I didn't even I don't even know if it truly exists yet it's pretty crazy we like appeared in the office and I was like how do we get here there's a whole nother else week I got to find it I don't know where the where the fuck
is it? It's right over there. I'll show you. It's on the other side of that wall.
On the other side of this wall? On the, in the kitchen.
In the kitchen. In the kitchen. You come out of the elevators and you're in the kitchen.
What? It's the weirdest elevator ever. Wait, how don't I even see this? It's how they move the podcast desk.
Damn. Yeah. Which is already back here. That's fucking weird. I was talking to my IRL stream earlier.
And I was
Good
I haven't done it as much
Because I hurt my hip
And so I've been like
Not really
Usually I'll run a little bit
And then as like a cool down
Start my stream
And just like walk home or something
But I haven't been running
Because my fucking hip knee
Everything back
Yeah
Everything hurts
So I've been walking
In my apartment gym
and I'm just not going to fucking IRL stream from that.
So I hadn't done it in like two or three days I did this morning.
It's pretty, I mean, I don't know how to constitute it as going well.
It's not like it blew the fuck up.
But it's pretty fun to do.
It gives me something to do it.
But it's so, oh, and I was asking my stream,
if I had scumps money, where would I live?
I was like, I like, because like I'm walking around all these tall buildings,
people walking around.
I'm like, this is kind of like a nice vibe.
But if I was like Scump famous, it's like, if Scum did what I did, would he get, would people be like, go, go?
Like, would that happen a lot more?
Like, would Scump be able to walk around this city?
Yeah, yeah.
He walks.
When he comes down here, him and Zen go and walk and get coffee and walk and get food.
Yeah, I guess it would be fine.
It's fine.
But it's like if he, I'm just thinking if I had his money, where would I want to live?
I think it depends if I was like single or not.
If I had Seth's money, I would live right where Seth lives.
His house is insane.
Yeah.
Do you think it's like lonely?
Not lonely.
But when you have that,
there was like some quote to where it's like if you have that money,
or like being lonely is even lonelier in a big house,
if that makes sense.
But Seth's not lonely.
That's not lonely.
He has a fiancee and a...
But would it still be...
I just don't, I feel like something would irk me a little bit about having a multi-million dollar house and walking into my girlfriend and my dog and everyone's happy and it looks super clean.
I think that is mental illness.
But seriously, someone knows what I mean of like.
So what would your solution be?
It's just so big and I don't need it.
And it's like, damn, I still.
You're talking about the apartment or?
if I had Cess House.
Oh, okay, okay.
And I still walked in and I wasn't like,
because when you live, when you have that house,
I just imagine walking in and like you just feel like the man.
You lay down, you're the man.
You're feeling good.
You're happy.
But it's like, what if you're not happy?
And like, you're in that big of a house and you're not happy.
And it's just like, damn, what the fuck is life?
What do I do?
Honestly, I think.
Like, I feel like I would be more comfortable in like a penthouse,
paying that much for like a penthouse or something.
and it being smaller
and it being cool
the penthouse would be worse for me
because I would feel like
why the fuck am I in a penhouse all the time
at least he feels like
I'm in a house
I own it I worked hard
I worked hard
I have a fiancee
we're probably gonna have a kid one day
that's a great place to raise a kid
great place to get married
I have dogs
I can stream I can work out of here
I think that's
that's how I would think
I don't know how I feel about
like a forever sort of home
you want to be on the go all the time
I don't know
I just like new.
Like I've thought about it to where like,
I wouldn't mind living in a different city every year.
Maybe I would mind.
I probably,
maybe every year,
every two years.
I think that's another reason I renew my lease.
We've moved every year.
Yeah.
Every year.
Yeah.
For the past six years,
we've moved every year.
Even,
I moved to the Emerson,
got kicked out of my apartment,
moved to another apartment in the Emerson.
Then from the Emerson,
to fake scuff house
then this is just year after your fake scupp house
then I moved to Addison
then from Addison
moved back to Frisco
then from Frisco
moved here
it's been six times
and we've been here
six years six years
five years yeah
wait 2018
2018 yeah
yeah five years
you've moved six times
in five years
I've moved six times
I don't really mind it though
because I don't make friends
and fucking
see I can't
I finally found a place where I'm
like comfortable and like I think maybe part of it is like okay I've done pretty much whatever
like optic has said for the since for the past five years moved to move to Chicago we all moved down
here in the Emerson we all moved in to a place together we that the lease was up in the place we
lived together so I moved out and moved in with Aaron and Nina then the hex quarters was where I
streamed so I move next to the hex quarters and now we're down here and I'm just
kind of like, all right.
Like, I'm close enough.
You're going to move down here and then we're going to...
I'm not going to do that.
Like, at least not right now.
Like, I've done it every year for five years.
Like, like, I'm fine to make the drive.
See, I'm already thinking about my next place.
That's insane.
And I just moved in like a month ago.
You're a...
But it's like, one thing, well, what bothers me right now
is the amount of people that walk their dogs in front of my place.
And it's just like, there's too much.
like you can see inside my place.
The gym's not that good.
It's a little dark.
So it's just I'm already thinking of like,
all right,
so I'm going to live here for a year.
And I like,
I like my,
I really like my place.
It turned out really well.
And it's not even like I'm moving
because of like certain stuff.
But it's just certain stuff will be like,
all right,
well here's,
like I move into a place.
Everything's great.
But I'm,
I'm going to pick out what I don't like.
Because that's where my mind goes.
That's where my mind's going to focus on.
What's everything I don't like about this place?
So I'm already thinking about, in my head, I'm going to blow up, be the biggest fitness
to YouTube.
Not really.
But in my head, it's like, I hope all this stuff compounds into like some good things
coming my way, maybe some sponsorships and working with this and this.
I'll have a little more money next year.
It's like if I have a little more money next year, where would I want to live?
I still want to live in like a high-rise apartment.
I'm not going to be able to afford a penthouse.
But I don't know.
I don't mind moving like that.
Like I kind of want to explore.
I feel like I've, I can drive around Dallas without GPS now.
It's weird.
Oh, yeah.
Like that's how, and like I kind of like it.
Like, damn, this is the true city experience.
Yeah, I feel like you've always wanted the city.
life. I kind of have, but it's weird because I kind of wanted it to stimulate. It like stimulates me a little
bit, but I don't like going into a bar with a bunch of people, but I'm in a city, but I'm in a city
surrounded by fucking people. People walking along the streets all the time and it's just like a cool,
it's like a cat looking out the window. And like this kind of like stimulates me a little bit.
but if I had to you throw me out that window
and I'm freaking the fuck out
scurring
scurring to get back to my safe space
to go spectate.
That's a good analogy.
I was pretty good.
I like the city life though.
I think we're good on time.
I think we're good too.
Well shit.
I mean that was a bit of a ramble
of an episode but that's what happens when it's 10 a.m.
This was episode 69.
Was it?
I tweeted manscaped and they were like,
let me check with the ball balls
