Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:39 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.
Starting point is 00:01:04 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.
Starting point is 00:01:18 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.
Starting point is 00:01:39 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
Starting point is 00:01:55 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
Starting point is 00:02:09 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.
Starting point is 00:02:36 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
Starting point is 00:02:54 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
Starting point is 00:03:10 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.
Starting point is 00:03:23 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.
Starting point is 00:03:49 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.
Starting point is 00:04:12 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.
Starting point is 00:04:41 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
Starting point is 00:04:54 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
Starting point is 00:05:11 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
Starting point is 00:05:52 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.
Starting point is 00:06:28 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.
Starting point is 00:06:41 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.
Starting point is 00:06:56 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?
Starting point is 00:07:14 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
Starting point is 00:07:30 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?
Starting point is 00:07:46 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.
Starting point is 00:08:02 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
Starting point is 00:08:18 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
Starting point is 00:08:34 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.
Starting point is 00:08:51 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.
Starting point is 00:09:02 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
Starting point is 00:09:14 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
Starting point is 00:09:29 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.
Starting point is 00:09:45 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.
Starting point is 00:09:54 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.
Starting point is 00:10:19 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.
Starting point is 00:10:41 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.
Starting point is 00:10:57 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
Starting point is 00:11:40 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.
Starting point is 00:11:59 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
Starting point is 00:12:30 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
Starting point is 00:13:10 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.
Starting point is 00:13:29 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
Starting point is 00:13:46 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
Starting point is 00:14:03 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
Starting point is 00:14:31 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
Starting point is 00:14:51 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
Starting point is 00:15:07 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.
Starting point is 00:15:48 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?
Starting point is 00:16:06 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,
Starting point is 00:16:17 dude, did you just finish that whole pack? He's like, yeah. He's like, you know those were weed, right? Like, edibles.
Starting point is 00:16:22 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.
Starting point is 00:16:31 No, it was on stream. Yeah, yeah. And, and he was, he was joking. Whoever it was like,
Starting point is 00:16:36 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
Starting point is 00:16:47 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
Starting point is 00:17:04 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.
Starting point is 00:17:25 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?
Starting point is 00:17:55 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
Starting point is 00:18:24 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.
Starting point is 00:18:53 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
Starting point is 00:19:31 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
Starting point is 00:19:46 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
Starting point is 00:19:56 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
Starting point is 00:20:05 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.
Starting point is 00:20:25 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
Starting point is 00:20:41 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
Starting point is 00:20:55 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
Starting point is 00:21:04 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,
Starting point is 00:21:09 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,
Starting point is 00:21:21 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.
Starting point is 00:21:34 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.
Starting point is 00:22:00 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
Starting point is 00:22:11 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
Starting point is 00:22:23 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.
Starting point is 00:22:33 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,
Starting point is 00:22:47 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.
Starting point is 00:22:59 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
Starting point is 00:23:09 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
Starting point is 00:23:26 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,
Starting point is 00:23:39 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,
Starting point is 00:23:47 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,
Starting point is 00:23:58 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.
Starting point is 00:24:25 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
Starting point is 00:24:46 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
Starting point is 00:25:05 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
Starting point is 00:25:18 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
Starting point is 00:25:31 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.
Starting point is 00:25:51 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
Starting point is 00:26:22 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,
Starting point is 00:26:36 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,
Starting point is 00:26:42 we're picking up Nick Merks. Fuck yeah. Awesome. But like, they're bringing these people in because, uh, you know,
Starting point is 00:26:50 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.
Starting point is 00:27:12 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.
Starting point is 00:27:52 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,
Starting point is 00:28:05 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,
Starting point is 00:28:21 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.
Starting point is 00:28:48 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
Starting point is 00:28:59 you know within the year of them going public or whatever all this all this shit comes out and in like the the headline
Starting point is 00:29:09 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
Starting point is 00:29:17 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
Starting point is 00:29:28 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
Starting point is 00:29:42 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
Starting point is 00:30:14 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.
Starting point is 00:30:50 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,
Starting point is 00:31:20 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.
Starting point is 00:31:52 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.
Starting point is 00:32:18 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
Starting point is 00:32:31 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
Starting point is 00:32:43 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.
Starting point is 00:33:12 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
Starting point is 00:33:27 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
Starting point is 00:33:43 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.
Starting point is 00:34:02 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
Starting point is 00:34:21 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?
Starting point is 00:34:33 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
Starting point is 00:34:47 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
Starting point is 00:35:03 Really quality Either beer or liquor company Would be really cool Like doctor disrespect Yeah But like That's hard too Come on, Doc.
Starting point is 00:35:13 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.
Starting point is 00:35:41 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
Starting point is 00:35:58 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
Starting point is 00:36:16 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.
Starting point is 00:36:26 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.
Starting point is 00:36:42 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,
Starting point is 00:36:52 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.
Starting point is 00:37:03 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.
Starting point is 00:37:14 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.
Starting point is 00:37:31 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.
Starting point is 00:37:55 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
Starting point is 00:38:36 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
Starting point is 00:38:53 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
Starting point is 00:39:09 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.
Starting point is 00:39:23 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
Starting point is 00:39:44 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
Starting point is 00:39:54 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
Starting point is 00:40:02 For the drive There's like Closer I mean the Trisco Night Go to Highland Park With the With the rich folk
Starting point is 00:40:09 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.
Starting point is 00:40:39 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.
Starting point is 00:40:48 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
Starting point is 00:40:58 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.
Starting point is 00:41:11 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
Starting point is 00:41:41 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
Starting point is 00:41:53 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
Starting point is 00:42:04 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
Starting point is 00:42:18 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
Starting point is 00:42:34 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
Starting point is 00:42:52 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.
Starting point is 00:43:06 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.
Starting point is 00:43:34 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,
Starting point is 00:43:53 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.
Starting point is 00:44:54 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
Starting point is 00:45:15 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
Starting point is 00:45:28 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.
Starting point is 00:45:48 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?
Starting point is 00:46:15 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.
Starting point is 00:46:33 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.
Starting point is 00:46:57 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?
Starting point is 00:47:24 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.
Starting point is 00:47:43 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.
Starting point is 00:47:56 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
Starting point is 00:48:10 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
Starting point is 00:48:20 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.
Starting point is 00:48:33 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.
Starting point is 00:48:48 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,
Starting point is 00:48:56 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
Starting point is 00:49:12 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
Starting point is 00:49:20 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
Starting point is 00:49:31 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...
Starting point is 00:50:05 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...
Starting point is 00:50:21 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,
Starting point is 00:50:43 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,
Starting point is 00:50:56 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.
Starting point is 00:51:04 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?
Starting point is 00:51:31 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.
Starting point is 00:51:55 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
Starting point is 00:52:33 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.
Starting point is 00:52:47 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
