Starting point is 00:00:00 Dude, can you cut those? You're going back out again? I think I'm like groan just to trigger people on stream. And just like make sure I show them off. Who? Make sure that you get this card. Wow, this is a pretty good, like cat my nails all on my car. I think we ever had an intro, man.
Starting point is 00:00:32 I think that's our intro. Asking if we have an intro. For nine episodes straight. Just. Hey, do we have, wait, it's nine, right? What do you mean nine? No, 30, 39. Oh, 39.
Starting point is 00:00:49 I was about to say. Episode number, welcome back to another. Welcome back to another episode of the Flycast, right back with our weekly program. Yes. Episode 32. Not 39.
Starting point is 00:01:06 Not 39. We'll get there in seven weeks. episode number 32 of the fly cast back at it like a crack at it well too soon too soon um i've been seeing a lot of that lately a lot of too soon too soon jokes yeah um hex has made some i hope people don't think i because what's weird okay so people in rehab already just right back up already Or people in rehab would say like, like I remember this one woman also I noticed from the last flycass. I kept saying like.
Starting point is 00:01:50 And it was pissing me off. It was bugging me. Once I realized I was saying like, I started realizing I say it so much. Anyways, in rehab, this woman said that she would go out to drink with her friends and she was an alcoholic. And they would sort of, they'd sort of be like, oh, well, what's, I almost said her name, but oh, what's, I'm going to make up a name. Oh, what's Kathy going to drink? And it was kind of like the awkward, like an awkward kind of thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:26 And almost like, oh, is this like triggering for you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's not, at least for me, I don't know if it's like that for like other people, but it's not. like that for me at all. I'm sure it is like that for other people. Yeah. I mean, maybe. I don't know. No, I'm sure it is. But it's not
Starting point is 00:02:48 like I don't want people thinking like any kind of jokes or anything like that like bother me or if like alcohol is around or drugs. Not that they would be. I don't want anyone to think, like, it's just not like that at all for me.
Starting point is 00:03:13 And I've noticed that, like. You had a pretty unique situation. Yeah. So how has it been the last week, Sobniak? Sobniak has been fun lately. Sobniak's like so much more fun. I can agree with that. I can definitely agree with that one.
Starting point is 00:03:34 Soeniac like wakes up and just like gets up. And talks to people. Yeah. Soeniac will like respond back sometimes now. Yes. But pretty much every morning I've been just like coming to the hex quarters, which like is weird for me. Yeah. Because even when the hex, like the hex quarters is it hasn't always been.
Starting point is 00:04:04 And the hex quarters where, like, people actually go and, like, chill. But it was never a thing for me to, like, just go to ever. Yeah, yeah. Like, if I was going to stream, it would be from my apartment. And I always said that, like, if I'm going to stream, I'm going to stream from my apartment. I just always felt like I'd be more comfortable doing that. Yeah. And just, like, having people around, it's just was, I would tell myself it was just, like, distracting.
Starting point is 00:04:32 But now it's, like, it's almost flipped. Like to where I'm, I'm hitching. Yeah. And to, I'm, like, God, streaming from my apartment would suck. It's so much better. Like, the vibe would be so shit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:45 Streaming from my apartment. You just feel like, like, to go to work, you walk three steps into your living room. Yeah. And then it's like, you go back into your room and you door to ask food. And then that's it. That's it. There's no, like, human contact.
Starting point is 00:05:04 It's fucking nothing. Now it's, I sort of have a little ritual of what I have found. I've found, I think, my morning coffee, but it doesn't involve coffee. It involves smoking a black and a mile. But I want to upgrade to cigars. Oh, like a stogie? Because I drive like 25 minutes to the hex quarters in the morning. So like, you know, I just wake up a shower and then I just start driving.
Starting point is 00:05:34 I don't really like waste any time. Like even laying around. So and like on that drive, I'm like, this is kind of nice. Dude, that's what I was thinking. Because I'm like 20, I'm like 15, 15, 20 minutes away too. And we're both moving to the same apartment. Oh, yeah. And so I'm like, low key.
Starting point is 00:05:52 I was like, I think I'm going to miss that drive. Yeah. Because I like the drive. Like I light up a black and my aisle. I just like crack this, my sunroof open a little bit. So it's fucking airs out. And I just, like, I turn on music and I just, like, this morning. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:09 Played you the Torrey Lane song. Just like shit like that. And I'm like, I have like a little like nicotine buzz. And I'm just like, fuck yeah. And like during the day, I don't, I don't really like doing it. But like just first thing in the morning just doing that, I'm like, damn. Yeah. I don't really mind this drive.
Starting point is 00:06:29 Yeah. But what I do mind is like in the middle of the day stuff. of where it's like I'm like completely or say like they start screaming or something at the hex orders yeah like I could I would much rather just walk to my apartment
Starting point is 00:06:45 and go like chill for a few hours rather than like that part is gonna be nice the like 25 minute drive kind of sucks um and most of the time nowadays I don't even drive home I just fucking lay there
Starting point is 00:06:59 and watch TV for a few hours and then like play my mind craft or something. Oh, oh, at the heck's during, yeah, while there's, while they're, uh, screaming or whatever. Yeah. So it's just, yeah, it's, it's going to be, it's going to be interesting. So it, it, I think once everybody's here, because we're all going to be basically in the same apartment building. Yeah. And then we're all going to be at the headquarters. I, like, there's been parts, there's been times during the last, like, like, two, like, week and a half where it's felt more like the scuff house than the scuff house, like ever felt. You know what I mean? Like at the
Starting point is 00:07:32 I wouldn't say ever felt, but, like, yeah. I want to say ever felt, but, At the very beginning of the scuff house, yeah, it was like always popping and we were always like hanging out and stuff. But there were times at the scuff house where it was like everyone did their own thing. Right now it seems like everyone's like super collaborative. Even Seth's coming in. And Seth has to drive and set's a diva. So it's like the fact he's coming in just because he misses the vibes of everybody. Yeah, I think they were just fucking with him.
Starting point is 00:07:59 Or like because I'm here and I'm like hanging out with formal all the time. Like I'm still informal from Seth. and they're saying like oh s that's so jealous he's not here hanging out with all of us and then step gets in his own head yeah that's how that's just how set is yeah but i'm uh i am i don't know you were asleep the whole time but just before we came over here i was bothering hex about sending in my like sort of like employment verification right yeah fucking to where we're moving And I'm excited To just like get this shit over
Starting point is 00:08:38 Yeah Because moving fucking sucks It sucks It really sucks And we've moved so much Especially fucking Me and Aaron Had to move an extra time
Starting point is 00:08:50 Just because we like got kicked out of our one apartment We had to move an extra time too Because my first place flooded Oh shit Yeah We've moved the same amount It's fucking crazy Yeah
Starting point is 00:09:01 It's been like five times in the past like three years. Yeah. But I'm excited to just just chill for a little bit. Like I'm not going to have a roommate. I'm excited to just start fresh in an apartment and not because right now I have like shit that's like kind of cluttered. And I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm like, fuck.
Starting point is 00:09:18 Well, I'm going to move anyway. I might as well just. Do you have, I don't know if this is overstepping. I don't know if it's going to trigger you. But you don't have any like your apartment now does it doesn't have like when you walk in. It's not like, oh, this is where it all happened. I do. feel like it's kind of a ghost
Starting point is 00:09:34 like ghosts like ghost's skeleton closet kind of like I look at my desk and it's just like that's where it happens like I don't I don't know I don't it is yeah I don't it's just like a dreary
Starting point is 00:09:51 kind of like yeah I can bad not bad not a bad vibe but like I like kind of just want to get out of it yeah I can I can fucking imagine yeah in like my room as well.
Starting point is 00:10:06 Some of it has to do with more like the relationship stuff. That's, yeah, yeah. Especially like sitting on my balcony or like, because me and Linda would always sit out there. Not always, but of course, like just the bedroom. Right, right. But like, yeah, it does have it. Like I want to get out of there.
Starting point is 00:10:30 Yeah. I even thought about. and of course like opening my cabinet shit but um i even thought about just switching apartment apartments in my apartment building yeah that's that's how it was because i got out of a relationship and then i stayed in that emerson apartment for like three more months so every time i came home from the hex squares i was just like like right right before i was just like right before I went in, I was like, there used to be a dog in there and a person. Damn, I forgot. You had a fucking dog.
Starting point is 00:11:12 Yeah. So I could figure that. And then you add all the other stuff on top of it. I figured, I figured you'd want to get out of there. And I wanted, I do not want to sit down in my PC. Have you, I haven't touched. Have you sat down at it? Really? Once. You should just bring it to the hex quarters. Well, I think I'm going to, the dude I bought it from, who, like builds a PC like I think I I don't know if I fucked it up or it's been fucked from the start yeah like Halo 3 and Addy and shit had my mind fucked up
Starting point is 00:11:45 yeah TJ was telling Tj would tell me about it but even now I played Halo 3 at the hex quarters I'm like yeah my shit was fucked I think it was my internet it could have been my modem it could have been like my PC but like such weird shit would happen like people would literally disappear like and then every I would always like test my internet and stuff because I didn't know if it was my PC if it was my internet and like my
Starting point is 00:12:13 piece or my internet would always um like the fuck what's it called it had like buffer bloat which is an internet term I didn't know of yeah and that basically means I'm getting like packet loss or like
Starting point is 00:12:29 my PC's just not it's almost like my internet And this is apparently common with AT&T Fiber is that the internet sends too much internet to your PC, which causes it to like flood. It like floods your fucking internet. Yeah. And even this dude who does like PC optimizations and shit like tested mine. It was like, wow, I've never seen one this bad.
Starting point is 00:13:00 Really? Yeah. And but yeah, I don't know if it was like something. with my Ethernet portal, my PC, or my modem, or my apartment building or what, but something was definitely fucked. Like, I know I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was crazy. Yeah. And I was, I am crazy and I was definitely crazy last year.
Starting point is 00:13:23 Right. But, like, no, something was like, actually fucked. Yeah. Even just playing, I played, like, five games at the X-Corps. I was like, wow, this actually feels like Halo 3. Right. Like, there, like, when, I was like, like, when I was playing. I was playing.
Starting point is 00:13:38 Like, there was times I couldn't, I couldn't even make jumps. Like certain jumps were just hard as fuck. I'm like, what the fuck? My game feels so broke. Like, damn. But. Yeah, I looked over from streaming and I looked at your setup and all I see is a
Starting point is 00:13:51 Halo 3 screen and I was like, oh, yeah. Like, stop taking my fucking controller. Yeah, you took it like 12 times. Yeah, no. I just had like, and the thing is I took it. Well, that's,
Starting point is 00:14:05 Hax had like a box of controllers, but I can't find them. Yeah. But, um, so you have the only Xbox controller. Yeah. And then I'd take it and then I'd sit down and end up playing like two games and just be like, God, I'm bored. Let me just go fucking sit on the couch or something. So FPS games have become, uh...
Starting point is 00:14:28 Stale? They seem pretty stale for you too, man. I heard you complaining on God. Actually, I see you playing a decent amount. Yeah, it's weird. I have like a weird relationship with Cod because I want it, I want it to further. I mean, saying this to a Halo person is damn near disrespectful. But I want the scene to progress.
Starting point is 00:14:49 I want the scene to progress and it's just not going to because they don't care. They don't, or they just don't. That's so weird. They just don't, they don't have. I mean, you see what every other game is doing with the way Valorant had launched with basically launched with the rank system and they already have all these different camo. and these different, like, things and different trading systems, the same way CS had it. I mean, they even have it in Rocket League.
Starting point is 00:15:11 There's rank systems and you have these cool-ass cars and there's different things with different games. Like you can play, you can do the Fortnite battle bus inside Rocket League. And then Rocket League has, I mean, then Fortnite has Master Chief running around. Like everyone is like integrating and pushing the scene forward. And here we are at Cold War. And it's just you get six maps. And then they release a league play system. that doesn't make any sense.
Starting point is 00:15:38 And then also like... This is me, y'all. Yeah. And I haven't even played the game. I mean, there's not, there's, the league play, the, the rank system makes zero sense. And then the, what, and then throwing that on top of it is, late lately we've been trying to, like, branch out and do, like, different variety things and, like, try to make good content and try to grow our YouTube and collab with people. And then now that cod is out, Blake is like, Blake, Blake, especially Blake, but George as well. They like really want to be good at cod.
Starting point is 00:16:09 And I'd like to be good at cod too, but being good at cod right now does nothing for us. But like I don't want to, but like they know that I feel that way and I know they feel that way. And so they're like, so do you want to play league play today? And I'm like, I want to play Minecraft today. And so that's where like the three person thing like kind of conflicts sometimes. So we're trying to we're trying to balance that out right now. But also like we have to figure out is there hype behind league? play because we always do better.
Starting point is 00:16:38 We always get more subs when we play Cod, but we always have more potential when we play other games because we collab with other people. It's like, it's like weird. I don't know. It's like, I don't know. Well, I think, at least from, I don't know, I thought you were kind of, actually, I
Starting point is 00:16:58 would say, you guys should say fuck Cod. not necessarily fuck cod but like whatever the three of you will enjoy and like yeah of course be the best content which is of course y'all's goal anyway but like I think the collaborating thing
Starting point is 00:17:16 was like a huge like step for you guys because everyone that I noticed well I think I noticed that every time you like collaborated with like TST became a thing to like that whole person's audience
Starting point is 00:17:32 right yeah it's like you guys are the only uh well you guys aren't the only but that i know you guys are the only like trio fucking yeah webcam yeah so like i think that's really smart to like having people see that for the first time like no it's you know when you play with doc like yeah your jacket like when you play with doc people are going to be like who the fuck's tST right and like click on your stream, then they're going to see three people in a webcam be like, you the fuck. Yeah, what is going on? Yeah, what is going on? And it's like just intriguing. Yeah, so. That's like, yeah, that's what we're, I mean, that's what we're trying to do. We played
Starting point is 00:18:14 Tarkov with Lupo. I mean, when we were playing Among us, we were playing with a bunch of different people. And then we've been playing with, we've been playing with Doc. I'm playing with like Marcel and them on the Minecraft server. So we've been collaborating a lot. We need, we want to start collaborating with like the cod guys, too. But, but they're divus. Well, it's just like, Seth, like, loves playing with Umu. I don't know what it is.
Starting point is 00:18:39 He loves it. And, and formal's been playing with you. He's been playing Minecraft. And then Bruce shoots the basketball after. Bruce shoots basketball for two hours. And, uh, but we,
Starting point is 00:18:59 we have played with Dill. So, uh, but Dill has been, filming with Seth but I mean those those four do more work than anyone else they they work harder than anyone else in the cod league because no one else has this rigorous of a of a content schedule outside of skimming and being that good so it's like for me to be like hey
Starting point is 00:19:22 I know you've been doing all of this shit all day but do you want to play league play with us you know what I mean yeah I don't know but that's just how I've always been I've always been like scared to to ask people to collab, like, pretty much my whole career. I never liked collabing. Even prior to TST. Yeah, like, we never, at the scuff house, we never, like, it was like just us. Like, even, and even not then sometimes.
Starting point is 00:19:50 Yeah. Whatever, whenever I played games, but I think it was the Addy. Yeah. Like, I didn't like collapping because that would be, like, socializing and shit. Like, I liked just playing, because my mom. mine is like, I guess, scattered enough. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:07 So it's like if I, it's so hard for me to like, I guess like be entertaining, talk to chat, keep up with any subs or donations. Talk to the people I'm playing with. Mute out. Mute.
Starting point is 00:20:19 Yeah, like the shit's, I don't know. I just never enjoyed it. I was one of, I mean, that's one of the things is whenever I'm playing. It's like it's kind of cheating or innovating.
Starting point is 00:20:30 But with TST, it's all. It's a constant collab because there's three people, but we never have to mute out because we all talk to the same chat. So whenever we collab with somebody, it's really like a whole different dynamic because I have to mute my whole desktop audio because they can hear my desktop audio so they can hear alerts.
Starting point is 00:20:49 So I have to mute everything. And then they can't talk to chat because they can't mute out or I can hear them. So it's just we just basically, whenever we collab, we basically ignore chat. But our chat understands that because 90% of the time we're always talking to them like all the time. Or you just got to do it then.
Starting point is 00:21:08 Yeah. Yeah. That's why when you hosted me yesterday and you came over and you tap me on the shoulder. Oh, yeah. I hadn't said anything. I didn't even like do that for any reason. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:17 I know. Like I don't even. It was just, it was just funny. But that was one of those, that was like one of those rare situations where we were collaborating with someone. And so I couldn't say anything to chat.
Starting point is 00:21:26 And they couldn't say anything to chat either. But all of chat was spamming BTH. So I don't know. It's like a weird. It's, we're still trying to figure. it all out, I guess. Really.
Starting point is 00:21:36 I don't, let's see. I've been, well, yeah. I guess I've actually no, before I go into Minecraft. Yeah. Fucking, did you see the one tweet back to League Play? I think it was like Von der Harr.
Starting point is 00:21:50 Is that his fucking name? Yeah. Tweeted at Scump. Like, oh, back in like October, November or something. Do you remember what he said? It was like, uh... Said something like,
Starting point is 00:22:01 or Seth said league play or it doesn't make any sense basically the general gist was call to do you should be released with a rank play system it doesn't make sense why there's not and then what did he say he said something like i think what you meant to say was a bunch of people are working hard on this game something like that that piss me off i saw that was like god set please just destroy like fire back that's like our goat that's the only guy who cares at all. But then I see that. And Seth was like, Seth responded was like, oh, you know, I love you guys. I have faith in your studio, blah, blah, blah. Yeah. And then he, and then he responded to that and was like,
Starting point is 00:22:46 something like, trust me, we won't let you down. Uh, almost like another like just overly confident tweet. Yeah. Something that like kind of rub me the wrong way. And then they drop this. Yeah. And it's just I wanted to. to quote that tweet so bad and just say like oops but but that's like that that's the thing is in cod like that's our only developer that cares so we can't so everybody kind of like like what the fuck is this like people got to like like people like scump i feel like have to like tell him what it is like apparently he's apparently he gave uh he he he tweeted at at ian and said text me, I lost your number.
Starting point is 00:23:34 Something, because Ian said, all we want is an ELO system, which is basically the, like, the rank play system that works. And he said something like, text me, I lost your number or something like that. So apparently, I don't know. No. Yeah. I don't, I know. And there's that.
Starting point is 00:23:50 I'm hesitant and talk about it because I've complained about it so much. So it's just. I have it. I know. I know. But I don't even play. But it's just, it pisses me off. Because you guys had it in 1985.
Starting point is 00:24:02 because I know the feeling of having a good ranking system and then to see like such confident and like sort of arrogant these like arrogant tweets from him and just like how he gets or like just seeing him get defensive and like send an arrogant tweet and like overly confident tweet and then to completely and utterly not deliver it's like like is I don't
Starting point is 00:24:32 know if he has said anything since then yeah but like so maybe he has and said like I mean it's definitely big it's definitely a big discussion yeah but it's like how just how was it not done I don't that's I don't understand it I don't know
Starting point is 00:24:50 and the same thing with Halo too don't think you're off the hook like Hela's been fucking up for a long time yeah the so the thing is is the
Starting point is 00:25:03 the most iconic league play system we've ever had was black ops two same developer then black ops three came out and they tried something new and it didn't really work at all because it took 20 minutes to get into a game because there was this whole pregame thing you had to do it was just nobody played it or very few people played it but the thing with black ops two what made it so popular is that not just the competitive people played it like other people played it a T Martin playing it and all the like the like Wildcat and his whole crew like like a bunch of people played like I'm pretty sure I played yeah yeah yeah for like the few times I got on ninja played it like a bunch of people played it that were outside of call of duty and then the people
Starting point is 00:25:44 inside call of duty everyone wanted to watch it because they saw everyone playing it and that's when Nate shot and Seth just blew the fuck up yeah then blackups three comes out doesn't really have a good rank system blackups four comes out and it was probably the the worst out of the three. Still not bad. It's still a competitive rule set. And so you're not just playing pubs.
Starting point is 00:26:08 Like it's basically, you're basically playing an MLG playlist. Yeah. Without a rank. But, I mean, there's no real, there's no real good ranks. No one,
Starting point is 00:26:18 there's no, there's no prestige behind it. Nobody's, nobody's remembering when they were master prestige or whatever in Blackups 4. And that's the, that's the league play system
Starting point is 00:26:27 that they copy and paste. for this one. What's Black is four? I think you, it might have been you that said like, you play your five placements. And then after that, there's absolutely no reason to play.
Starting point is 00:26:38 What does that mean? Here's what happened for us. So the four of us, TST and Doc, we play our five placement matches together. We win all five placement matches. Blake and George get put into elite, I think. Either elite or diamond. It's the second, it's right below master.
Starting point is 00:26:58 Doc and I get put two below that. And it's something called advanced, and it's right above competitor. And so I didn't understand the league play system at all during that point. And I was like, what, it had to have glitched or something, because we won all five games together, or all five games we won together. And apparently what it is, it goes by score per minute.
Starting point is 00:27:21 It doesn't go by win loss. What does that mean? So Blake and George were going dumb hard all five games. games. So they dropped 40s. So people get rewarded for stat whoring. Basically. God, fuck. So they, it's so shit. It is, it is really bad. So I was, I was chilling like the whole time because we were blowing people out. Like, they were getting 10 points and we were beating them 250 to 10. So I'm not going to be calling out and going dumb hard. I'm going to try to, we're playing in front of 20,000 people. So I'm going to try to figure out how to make it entertaining and,
Starting point is 00:27:58 stop Doc from raging so much because he loves to rage. So I'm sitting there like chilling and then we get our placements and they had gone so hard. And so I was like, oh shit, so it's by score per minute. So now I have my rank. Doc has his rank and I'm like, so we, so Doc and I have to go dumb hard and then we'll start ranking up. Come to find out, you don't get to rank up once you get placed into your matches. So the only way to rank up is you have to wait three days.
Starting point is 00:28:28 And then it counts based off of how it counts based off of how much you have been playing those last three days and how much your score has gone up during those three days. So apparently the three days is coming up tomorrow. I've played a decent amount. I think I've played a decent amount. So I just, I don't know. I don't know what my rank. Fuck it. Fuck it.
Starting point is 00:28:54 I don't know what my rank is going to be tomorrow. I guess. And so who cares. That's what I'm saying. Who gives a shit? So that's the problem. All you have to. I don't give a shit what this rank is.
Starting point is 00:29:11 That's what I'm saying. Like there's no reason. If that's how it is, then rank doesn't matter. And so then. Like in hard points, people would literally not get the hard point. They'll just go for the kills.
Starting point is 00:29:23 Or they'll jiggle the point, not get on the hill. Like they won't milk the time. Right. in like a close game like there's times where you're going to have to accept dying but like your milk in time or like playing around like that's what that's that's that's which makes it real call of the competitive call to that's duty that's the thing is is that there's really no there's no like argument against it like that's what blake and i have been getting into not like getting into it but like we've been like arguing about it since it dropped because he's like well you know it's like in in Rocket League, in Rocket League, Blake is, and Blake's been playing for three years, so he's like nine times better, like 20 times better than Blake,
Starting point is 00:30:06 than George and I. But we played all of our placement matches together. Somehow I got ranked higher. So I'm ranked higher than Blake in Rocket League, even though he carries me every game. Yeah. So he's like, well, in Rocket League, it would make, if it was like this in Rocket League,
Starting point is 00:30:20 then I would be Diamond and Rocket League and you would be platinum because it would be based off a score per minute. And I'm like, that's fine. I get that. but like that's one tiny little example or one tiny little thing where and even in that scenario I would be fine with that but you would still be able to get out of your own division like if if he was platinum in Rocket League and I was Diamond he would still be able to get to Diamond if he just plays enough and he get like boosts his score per minute whereas in in Call of Duty right now
Starting point is 00:30:54 if you place into advanced you can't leave you. leave advanced, no matter how much you play, until a certain amount of time period. Yeah, until a time period is over. Literally when you log on, it says, you don't even know what to do. No, you have to. So you get placed into a ladder. And in the ladder, you have to be top 25 on the ladder in order to achieve like a reward. And in order to be top 25, you just have to play.
Starting point is 00:31:25 you have to play as much as possible you don't it's not like a win-loss thing it's like a or maybe it is a win-law i don't know it doesn't make any sense it does not make any sense at all i see some aspects that they're like kind of stealing from league of legends but it's like dude it doesn't work but it's no it's bad that they're it's just stealing from stealing from other games but legal it would work if they actually just stole the entire thing yeah like maybe right take the good parts with it stealing from other games when your call a duty and stealing from other games when your halo is why it downfalls you're already fucking call a duty or halo you know what i mean like whenever they started sprinting in halo and whenever they started doing all this like
Starting point is 00:32:13 other stuff in in halo that we're trying to simulate other games it's just like but you're already the biggest game just push that forward like when ghosts came out in cod and they made it looked like battlefield. And everyone was like, and then AW comes out and we go jet packs for three years because they wanted it to look like Titanfall, or they wanted to box out the Titanfall people.
Starting point is 00:32:38 And it was just like, why? Like Cod 4, Modern War for 2, Black Ups 2, they already existed. They already blew all the records out of the water. And then they go back to Modern Warfare last year and they break all the records again. And it's like if you had just been doing that from the start. The thing with good ranking systems
Starting point is 00:32:55 is like the, like, I see what they thought they were doing with like the, what was it, point, like, doing better. Score per minute. Yeah, yeah. I see what they thought they were doing with the score per minute. Like, some shitter who, like, gets carried five placements in a row. Like, he doesn't deserve to.
Starting point is 00:33:20 Right. But if he, if they win the game, they win the game. But what good. games good ranking systems do is if you lose a game like that's pretty like it like chunks your fucking rank yeah and like shitters are gonna lose a lot more games exactly like even just i was gonna say like in the long run but not even in the long run just like that day when they're still searching by themselves they're gonna lose until they match up with other shitters that's what happens yeah they're gonna keep they're gonna lose majority of their games like
Starting point is 00:33:56 Like, they're just... Especially if they're solo queuing, like... Yeah, and they're solo queuing, like, that's the good thing that I liked about good ranking systems. Even when, like, League of Legends, like, it definitely had its moments of just, like, fucking sucking. Because, like, you could tell when someone, like, wasn't that good or, like, no offense, but, like, a lot of girls would play support. Right. Which is, like, I would say the least fuck-upable. role. So, like, there would be some girls with, like, higher rank than me. And, like, I know I'm
Starting point is 00:34:35 better than them. Like, I've, like, streamers and, like, I've seen them play. And, like, I used to actually be, like, pretty good and, like, fucking making plays and shit. You're just going hard as fucking, like, I can't even get to their rank. So I get the point. But at the same time, no one gives a fuck. If that person, like, didn't deserve that right. That's, like, so, that's the only like downfield downfall and that's the only small percentage of of why that should matter and i just want that and that's that was blake's argument and i just want to be like blake i will give you my diamond rank in rocket league and you will be the best on the team if you just admit that this shit does not make sense it just does not make i wish i could just give him so there is probably
Starting point is 00:35:18 someone like blake at the call duty studio for sure arguing arguing he was like but i'm better than you but we're winning so you're going to be just as good as me, that doesn't make sense. But that's how good ranking systems work. Yeah. In my opinion. To be fair, it's not an opinion. To be fair, I've never played
Starting point is 00:35:39 a game with a good ranking system. Because I never played... I've played... That's the only games I ever played. That's the only games you've ever played. Because I've never... Well, maybe H1Z1. Like, I played... Because I never played HAL 2. I even got into fucking Hurtstone for a little bit.
Starting point is 00:35:55 Because it had like a... Fucked your neck up. Yeah, because it had like a good ranking system. Also, that wasn't so many acts times. I'm trying to think League of Legends, Halo 2. People say Halo 3's 1 to 50 ranking system just like Halo 2, even though Halo 2's 1 to 50 was a lot harder. Yeah, that's what I heard.
Starting point is 00:36:16 Halo 3's, it was just too easy to get a 50. I played a little bit of reach. Didn't reach have a good ranking system? I didn't. I mean, it had like the 1 to 50s. ranking system. Right. You wouldn't have like complete and utter shitters.
Starting point is 00:36:32 Yeah. But like you could get a fit like my local like the way I looked at it was like if my locals can get a level 50. It's not good. Yeah. That makes sense. Like the only. Like the only.
Starting point is 00:36:44 Because I was master the whole time. Okay. You know what I mean? Like master prestige. That's why I wish. Yeah. That's not. That's not a good ranking system.
Starting point is 00:36:52 I wish they had. Or it's just it's good but it's not great. Right. Right. Like, apparently like World War II. Like the pros should really be, the pros should even be kind of like bouncing in and out of the top, top tier.
Starting point is 00:37:05 Yeah. That's what, that's why people always talk about World War II. And World War II was one of the worst cods ever made. But it had the best ranking system to the point where if you were a pro and you had just got done with scrims or you just got done with whatever, you can just hop into the league play system and you would match with seven other pros. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:24 Like that's how it was. if they look at that and we're like because everyone kind of looks at that game like it was shit but it was just the game that doesn't have to do it the ranking system but I wonder if they're like you see what happened with that game it wasn't probably like some numbers guys and that's why that's why that yeah that's true numbers guy
Starting point is 00:37:45 is looking at that ranking system that is true they see the blackups four they see the blackups four sales with blackout because blackout came out with blackups four and they're like oh these numbers are good and then look at the World War II numbers these numbers are bad
Starting point is 00:38:00 we need this frank that is possible but it's also the same developer I mean it's the same developer that did the other one so but I don't even play in the game yeah I don't care you got me on I was not planning on talking about this you got me all into it
Starting point is 00:38:14 well I want to bigger and better things Minecraft Minecraft I started Minecraft how's that it's been pretty fun it's I know I slightly enjoy it because I've come to find out what like grinding diamonds is.
Starting point is 00:38:34 Yeah. So I've been doing that a little bit off stream. But I don't really see myself streaming it that much. Much more? No, not necessarily that much more. Just only I don't see myself streaming it that much unless I'm like playing with like hex informal. Right.
Starting point is 00:38:54 Because like right now it's almost like. like a storyline to like our streams like people people saw us our first time's getting on then they saw us like getting better together yeah then they saw us like kind of grinding diamonds and then like I think tonight we're gonna grind diamonds a little bit but then go into the nether or whatever
Starting point is 00:39:18 and I don't know what the point of that is but hex wants us to do that so we're gonna do that the funny thing is is that you all are doing that tonight Hex hasn't even been to, Hax hasn't even been to the nether. Really? Hex has been to the nether and he, he knows what the nether is,
Starting point is 00:39:36 but he hasn't played the new update and they completely change the nether entirely. So we're all going to be new to. Yes, he doesn't know anything. I guarantee you he doesn't know anything. So he's going to go in there. It's going to be funny. I'm excited to watch that shit.
Starting point is 00:39:52 We're going to get, there's a bunch of rules that you're going to have to, that your chat is, going to spam at you. And I'm going to be like, what does that even mean? Exactly. Because I haven't even, because I don't even know how to like make shit really. Like I have to, Hax was telling me like two sticks and then one or three across and then
Starting point is 00:40:14 what he didn't tell me and my chat told me was that like you just search for it. And I was like, what do you mean? Oh yeah, just type in the book. Yeah. And I found that out through my chat. No, like, why the fuck did you just tell me this? Stop telling me, like, no, one stick, no. On the left middle block and then one in the, like.
Starting point is 00:40:33 You just click it. Yeah. They're like Minecraft. They're like Minecraft OGs that are like, I played before the book. So they had to memorize everything. I don't know if he's one of them, but that's just how like a bunch of people. And just like, yeah. I am not one of those people.
Starting point is 00:40:49 I am playing in time last year. He was probably more of an OG because he did not mention the fucking search box. but uh yeah that's what i guess my near future gaming career is gonna be is my craft which i kind of enjoy it we were talking about yeah i mean it's so it's it's my favorite game ever made it's so much fun yeah but there's like is like once you like get going you're like wait you can do this and then oh you can do this and then oh you can build that and it's just just dashy even said he was like, oh, dude, there's so much shit to do. It's like never ending.
Starting point is 00:41:28 I was like, I think we have one more thing to do. And that's the nether or whatever. Or like enslave the dragon or whatever the fuck beating Minecraft means. Yeah. So I don't know. What I guess, I know there is like the mini games like jumping from block to block and not falling or some shit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:53 No, there's a bunch of like, I mean. It's a very highly modable game. So it legitimately is endless. But even in the vanilla game, like what you're playing, there's already so much you can do. There's already, there's hundreds of things that you haven't seen. Like what? Like, have you,
Starting point is 00:42:12 have you seen villagers yet? I don't know what that is. They're like little people. They're like people. Yeah. See, that's what I'm saying. Like, there are so many. How do you find those?
Starting point is 00:42:22 You just have to explore. And the thing is, is the map is, 30 million blocks. So that's your possibilities. And then you can go to the nether. Right now, we're just like breeding cows. That's one of the most fun parts.
Starting point is 00:42:37 It's like the beginning of it. It's like breeding. I almost want to like start over to like have shit organized. That's because you're already starting. That's a part. That's one of the steps. Restarting. It's restarting.
Starting point is 00:42:51 And actually having shit organized. Because right now we're just fucking. If you guys. go into our, the first, like, mountain we built into or whatever. Yeah. It's a shit show. It's just like, you see, like, five staircases going down and just, like, lines everywhere. Yeah, dude.
Starting point is 00:43:06 It's, I mean, it brings me so much joy. And, and for people who have never played, or people who have played Minecraft for a long time, watching someone play for the first time is, it's, it's, it's, it's so much fun and so, like, irritating. Yeah. Because it's the biggest backseat game ever. Like,
Starting point is 00:43:26 I'm sure your chat just bombards you with shit while you play. Yeah. And they bombard me too. And I know way more than a lot of people should even ever know
Starting point is 00:43:35 about Minecraft. Yeah. So, so just like watching people like make the first pickax and figure out, oh, you can't,
Starting point is 00:43:44 you're not supposed to chop a tree with a pickax, supposed to chop it with an axe and like all that. I'm about at that part. That part. I'm at that part. That's the best.
Starting point is 00:43:52 Step two. a fucking a million Yeah Because then like Once you start figuring it out Then you get comfortable with how to play You figure out like what you need to beat it And then you try to play hardcore
Starting point is 00:44:06 And then you beat it hardcore Which is a really fun Everybody has to try that at least once To beat Minecraft Well, Hex has never beaten Minecraft I know Is he gonna try to beat it with you? I mean if we can
Starting point is 00:44:19 The only person that would like hold us back Would be formal just because he thought he's God fucking but I like I want to just play like
Starting point is 00:44:31 an hour or two a night to just stream it It's a very chill I mean it's It's a game where it could be Whatever you want it to be Yeah Because I thought it was
Starting point is 00:44:39 I thought for the longest time It was the chillest game Like you Whether you collect dirt And make towers And whatever And then you start getting into it And you're like
Starting point is 00:44:49 Oh it's It's actually the scariest Game I've ever played too Like fucking creepy fuck creepers first of all. They're scarier than any game I've ever played. I got scared for the first time yesterday by like just hitting a block and these like little a white critter just comes out.
Starting point is 00:45:04 Holy shit. Yeah. And I don't know why that scared me because I even knew they like that could happen. Yeah. But it just scared this shit like genuinely like heart sank like everything. I was like I think that's the first time I've like been scared at a game or from a game. Dude one time we were making, like we're making this. like shop like we're making a shop and we're like selling stuff in Minecraft uh in like the server
Starting point is 00:45:28 we're in so we were like digging out the roof and i dug out one roof or one thing and i just see a creeper like walk up and fall down on me and i was just like ah it's like terrifying yeah so when you say beating the game does that mean slaying the dragon yeah that i're technically beating you can't beat the game but that's yeah whenever you beat the whenever you slay the dragon the the credits role. Oh. So, but then you can just keep playing.
Starting point is 00:45:54 Yeah. I don't, I don't even, the game doesn't even, for me, I don't even really, I mean, I love,
Starting point is 00:46:02 I love it all, but the game doesn't even like start for me until I get the wings. Because you can get wings and you can fly. Did you know that? Sounds familiar, but not really.
Starting point is 00:46:14 And Hex has never gotten the wings. He's such a new. But like, that's his favorite game ever. And he's, but that's, that's the thing about it is there's so many there's millions of people out there that have played that have that never that never even gone to the nether they just play peaceful and they just walk
Starting point is 00:46:32 around and they explore the different biomes and build different things and and it's i mean it's it's it's it is the best it's the best game ever made and then if you go into mods on top of that i mean it there's a mod called pixel mon and i've always wanted to play it but i've never played it and you literally you're playing Minecraft you can build houses you can you can chop down trees everything you can do in regular Minecraft but then there's Pokemon that run around and you catch the Pokemon and you can battle other Pokemon there's gems dude I'm telling you is like
Starting point is 00:47:06 if you go on top of you if you go past the vanilla game which is already so much content then there's even I mean there's unlimited amount of content out there damn I should dude if you played pixel I should just like I'm gonna tell tell one of my mods or something
Starting point is 00:47:28 to like literally just make a brand new channel called like Minecraftniak or something. Minecraft Maniac. Yeah. Sounds like a good channel anyways. And just like I don't care
Starting point is 00:47:42 like I won't have any sort of like ego about like I don't care if it has like 50 views. Yeah, yeah. But just like if I had an entire channel of just like I don't know what it'd be. whether it's like clips or yeah uh gameplay of just like art just exploring or whatever it's like 10 five to like 20 minute videos yeah that actually be a new little journey it's hard because
Starting point is 00:48:13 dude starting over on youtube is so hard yeah it's so like i so i so i mean i i uploaded my leaving optic video on my channel and I got like, obviously got like a hundred, 120,000 views because it's leaving Optic on my personal channel. And then I uploaded a few times after that. And then, and then we started the TST channel. And I've, we've uploaded every single day on the TST channel for a year and a half. And it's still not, it's not even where my channel was at the scuff house. It's so much harder now to start channels.
Starting point is 00:48:51 And I, all I, like, it's, and we, we, we. We do everything right. I mean, we play Cod with formal and scump. We play Tarkov with Lupo. We play Minecraft with the crew and Marcel. And we play with Doc and Jack. Like, we do, I mean, we're doing everything right. But that's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:49:13 Like, starting over now is harder than it's ever. Yeah. That's why I wouldn't even look at it. Like, and I'm sure this is how you started with TFC. Oh, I don't know. But like, well, maybe not. Well, like, I wouldn't. I wouldn't have an ego of like,
Starting point is 00:49:27 because right now if I uploaded, I feel like my channel is just, just has like quality. Yeah. And definitely not quantity. But I feel like my channel just has like quality. Right. Anything you click on my channel will be like,
Starting point is 00:49:44 like it's never like a why the fuck did he upload that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But like I don't want. I have some, why the fuck did he upload that? on my channel so like I don't well my main channel
Starting point is 00:49:59 I have an ego to where I don't want to upload like I'm or like start uploading Minecraft and it's just like where the fuck did this come from yeah and it's like if I don't continue it because I don't know like where Minecraft's going to go I don't want to just throw like three
Starting point is 00:50:15 Minecraft videos up there yeah out of nowhere and then it just like disappear or like it it goes up there and has like a couple thousand views right or like it's something people don't really care about like yeah i don't know i would just much rather start a new channel and just tell just like tell jbock kind of tell someone like hey you do all of this and like whatever
Starting point is 00:50:44 if if i make anything at all just like split it with you or something right yeah until it starts popping off and then you get like a little percentage or something but like I don't know have someone like my contribution to the channel would just be playing it right and like streaming it
Starting point is 00:51:05 and then like have someone literally it's their channel yeah yeah well it's my channel but like they control the channel yeah I have I'm doing that right now with my second channel it's like turning into a clips channel so it's like TSD clips
Starting point is 00:51:21 Hitch Presents Clips So it's like I'm on four different podcasts now And I was like I'm on way too many podcasts To just like Be on the podcast You know what I mean? So I was like any type of those Any type of those like JRE clips type things
Starting point is 00:51:38 I just told I told my guy I was like hey Just clip anything that if you think people would want to It would make sense to be a video on its own And we're going to upload it to that channel So Like for, say this video, it's like, Kitch responds to Vonderhar. No, Nick responds to Vondera.
Starting point is 00:51:58 But yeah, yeah. And then thumbnails meet. Yeah, exactly. I don't really know where my future is going to go from all I got to Minecraft. Well, you were talking about maybe to start in chess. No. Wait, what was the other one? Chess and poker.
Starting point is 00:52:16 Poker. Poker would be good. Now, poker. Poker nights with NIAC would be... I would rage. I would have to like... That would be so funny. I couldn't like risk my own money.
Starting point is 00:52:28 Yeah. I mean, I would have to tell people like if you want me to play this $100 buy-in or something. Yeah. But you can play tournaments, I think. That's what Frosty does. He enters into like $40 tournaments. Frosty Halo.
Starting point is 00:52:43 Frosty old mob. Because the mob separated. Oh. Yeah. Yeah, that's weird. Yeah. So. I won't even ask why.
Starting point is 00:52:52 I don't know. All I know is Miko, one of their guys, stop. He said he was no longer interested in doing content or anything on the internet. So he stopped tweeting, stopped going on the internet. Maco? Miko, yeah, yeah. You know Miko, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:08 So he stopped, and then they were like, well, the mob's not the mob anymore. So now they're just three separate people. All under 100 thieves. Yeah. That's what, that's what. that's just what I texted and I was like is everything cool like just making sure you guys are good and they said they're all friends still so that's good but anyway that's what frosty does is he or I saw him do that a couple times frosty and I think I think classy does it too they enter
Starting point is 00:53:35 into tournaments like a $40 buy-in I didn't even know that shit was legal I don't know if it is or whatever I don't I'm sure I don't like it's just you know much just season's like gambling wait maybe it's like streaming it or it's I don't know I don't know yeah something about gambling just seemed like taboo but I know like
Starting point is 00:53:56 poker stars yeah and I would be I guess not worried but like someone in that game being in my stream and just like can see your hands and like yeah like I just know I would think in my head like
Starting point is 00:54:13 I know this motherfucker's in my stream why the fuck Fuck would you fold there. Like, I know shit would just, like, be in my head. That should be, that would be fun. But I do enjoy poker. I'm sure there's, like, casual not money on the line, poker stars, stuff that you could, like, do just for content at first. I wouldn't like that.
Starting point is 00:54:34 Like, money, if I'm going to play poker, money has to be involved. Or else people just are going to play stupid as fuck. That's true. That is true. Just like playing here at this poker table. fucking pretty much the yeah the whole cod team is playing
Starting point is 00:54:52 hex some of his friends yeah and you just ran the table yeah and uh so they were all or the poker table was like set up pretty much over here for the people watching um and I was on the couch and they already had 10 phex asked me if I was going to play
Starting point is 00:55:10 and I was like I might then like that evening I was like no I'm not going to come yeah but then I ended up just being like like boredish shit and actually which brings us me back to the first subject of the podcast like i knew people were going to be drinking and shit like that and i was like well i don't want to start drinking yet and i don't want to go hang out and be like the only sober person there but um long story short i fucking did that anyways and just came over here and i was like i'll have a few beers but I didn't I didn't end up drinking anything right I was like hell yeah anyways um so I come
Starting point is 00:55:53 over here and we play poker and they already had 10 people and then hex said one of his guys was like running late right and um or he was like oh we already got 10 people and I was like that's fine I'll just play like Spideymans or something on the PS5 and then one of his guys was running late so he was like you want to play and I was like no it's fine you are going to just wait out for your friend to get here and they was like, no, just come play, good boy. And so I ended up playing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:21 And I ended up winning. And it was like $600 or some shit. I was like, fuck yes. And they were so bad. Matt, Matt came back to the hex quarters because I had to stream. And I was like, I was like, oh, is it already wrapped up? And he was like, no, I just lost. I got out real quick.
Starting point is 00:56:39 I was like, oh, damn, who's winning? And he's like, Nick's winning. Nick's running the table is what he said. I was like, really? He was like, yeah, he's playing for rent and shit. That's what I told him. Fucking, like halfway through our poker or the poker game lasted probably. I see, we started at like nine.
Starting point is 00:57:02 I don't think we had to have been playing for like four hours. Really? And we took like a little smoke break or like we took a little break. And we were outside and I went up to Matt and I was like, I think I'm the only. person here playing for fucking right i'm the only one here that actually gives a fuck what are you texting heck's hot as fuck oh yeah yeah um but yeah i even i told met that's why he said it because i remember saying it to him out there i was like i'm the only one here that doesn't really have well it's only a fifty dollar buy-in right but like either way i was
Starting point is 00:57:41 trying when I was playing like stingy. Like if I didn't have shit like I'm folding. Yeah. And then I would, it's easy for me to say right now that they they were like pretty bad players. Yeah. But I guess we'll find out. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:00 Sometimes it's like I was I was definitely bluffing a decent amount. Yeah. And like sometimes they would call it. I'm like you fucking idiot. Why did you? and but sometimes it's like i don't really know what their cards were yeah and but i don't know i think i could win again i'm trying to play again set got you know seth won three times in a row before you set won three which is like crazy it's because he's so damn stingy yeah and he
Starting point is 00:58:31 got out he got knocked out first so quick really yeah like he lost a pretty big hand and then uh i think someone hit like a straight or something but he lost a big hand And then he bought back in and was like the first out again with his back. So he just went home? I don't know. No, he chilled here for a little. He's actually, he was like funny as fuck actually. Like he'd be standing over there and would like peek over and be like,
Starting point is 00:59:01 like just this fucking scump face. That's hilarious. But no, he was pretty funny. Dude, this has been, this week has been like one of the crazy, probably one of the most memorable weeks of my life because of the fact that I've been able to smell. Oh, yeah, what's not with that? So I got like a, I got a shot.
Starting point is 00:59:23 So I went to a doctor's appointment. She looked at my nose and went, holy shit. She didn't say, those weren't her exact words. She said what? Oh, honey. She went, oh, honey, yeah, yeah. She looked in, looked at my nose, then she gave me a steroid shot
Starting point is 00:59:36 and then then steroid pills on top of that, which I've taken before. what I took at the scuff house whenever I could smell peanut butter that one day. Remember that? That's what I was on then. So I'm on like three times more right now. So it cleared up my nose and then it cleared it up to a point where I could smell. And usually I can only smell for like 20 minutes, which happened the first day.
Starting point is 00:59:59 And then the second day I could smell for like two hours. And then the third day I could smell the whole day. And then today is the fourth day or the fifth day. So it's just been. So you can smell right now? Yeah, I can smell right now. it's been dude it has been
Starting point is 01:00:12 insane it's it's like it's been like life changing like smell this chapstick dude I haven't smelled chapstick I haven't smelled chapstick I haven't smelled
Starting point is 01:00:21 burts bees and whoa dude it smells like minty dude I haven't smelled that in so long so is everything like a memory like a flashback time dude
Starting point is 01:00:38 you have no idea because you smell the blackamau and you were like college. Dude, cigar smell is one of my favorite smells. I forgot how much I, like, smelled it. Or, like, how much I, like, liked the smell. But I've had, like, family members on one side of my family
Starting point is 01:00:57 that smoke Stogies all the time. And then in college, I smoked Black and Miles for a little while. And then I stopped because it's pretty bad for you. But that smell. is just something that I've always. So whenever you and Flomel walk by, I'm like, smelling you guys and shit. But yeah, it's really weird because if you think you ever,
Starting point is 01:01:23 you ever smell something and it gives you like a flashback to when you first smelled it like seven years ago? Not, I mean, I know what you're saying. Yeah. I know what you're saying. Yeah. But like it surely doesn't sick out to me. Right, right.
Starting point is 01:01:39 I'm sure it does you. But yeah, I'm sure it's just like that random thought, we're like, wow, that smells like third grade washing tables or something. Or like, you know what I mean? That's how every single thing smells to me. That's what I was wondering. It's so, it's the weirdest sensation. Because I smelled McDonald's yesterday. And it, why'd you go to McDonald's, man?
Starting point is 01:02:01 Because I haven't stopped eating. Happy meals. Oh, no, no. I didn't get it. Dash you brought me McDonald's. Oh, okay. But yes. Eventually I wanted to get Happy Meals.
Starting point is 01:02:12 So I smelled McDonald's yesterday and it smelled and I haven't, I tried to think back the last time I smelled McDonald's and it had to have been when I was 17. So 10 years ago. Shit. McDonald's smells pretty good too. Yeah. Like the does. So everything that I smell has a memory on it that is over eight years old, over eight to nine years old. Damn, that's kind of crazy.
Starting point is 01:02:35 Which is, it is the weirdest. It is the weirdest sensation. So that's, every time I smell black and mild, it smells like how the first, because I can smell for the first two months of college. So it smells like the first two months of college because that was the first time I'd ever smelled like, or like, that's the first time I'd ever like smoked or black and mild or like been around people that were like smoking and shit like that. Then I smelled like a bourbon. I smelled bourbon. I smelled bourbon one time and it smells, it reminded me of like the college football games that I used to go to because the people in front of us always drank. and so I always remember that smell
Starting point is 01:03:11 and be like oh that smells gross but now I smell it and I'm like holy shit smelled the bathroom cleaner you know how the bathroom smells when you walk in there that shit is crazy it smells like it smells like
Starting point is 01:03:21 dude it smells like high school because like that's what high school bathrooms smell like dude it's fucking crazy because you literally have something that it like connects with every time every single time dude I ate a hamburger
Starting point is 01:03:35 from it's this place here around called two brothers. Have you ever ordered from there? No. This place called Two Brothers. It's got pulled pork on it and it's got, it's just a cheeseburger. Dude, I was eating it on stream. I can go back and like clip it. I will never forget that that cheeseburger pulled pork barbecue burger for the rest of my life. I'll never forget it. That, that reminds me of, well, it has nothing to do with food. But when I got out of rehab,
Starting point is 01:04:04 I hadn't looked at my phone in a month. A month. Yeah. I, hold it. I hadn't listened to music in a month. Music was crazy. Every song I was listening to was like, it sounded so good. Dude, that's crazy. It was like, it was great. Like, you realize once you don't have something for a while, like, it's so much better. Dude, it's so much better.
Starting point is 01:04:33 I, I'll never let my nose get to where it was. I'll never let it happen. Because I just like, I don't know why. I let it get there because I was so frustrated. It started out with frustrations because I was so frustrated with the fact that the first surgery and the second surgery didn't work. And then all the medicines that I was taking didn't work. The only thing that worked was steroids. And steroids are terrible for your body.
Starting point is 01:04:55 So I was just like fed up with it all. And then I moved. And then I turned 26. Got to get off my parents insurance. Get my own insurance. Got to figure all that shit out. And then I'm finally like, all right, my nose is so bad. I got to figure all this.
Starting point is 01:05:09 stuff out do it and now it's like life changing like i i'll never let it get back to that point yeah but what makes me like it was the listening to music again was so nice the only time i would i would hear music and rehab was would be when we would go to the gym uh like some they would play the radio okay but like usually i would go play like basketball or volleyball in the radio is in the weight lifting section so like i wouldn't really hear it but like even up there just like any song that came on i was just like fuck it it was like so much better that it like makes me it's almost like i want to like take a break from certain things to enjoy it again yeah like last night well this is in no comparison but last night i ordered wing stop and i've been eating like clean for the for
Starting point is 01:06:08 The last two days. Like, I eat clean for like two days, like not really carbs. And last night I was just hungry as fuck. I was like, man, I'm gonna get wing stopped. And I didn't eat the fries or anything I really wanted to. But like even just like enjoying the wings, that's just like, hell yeah. And it had only been like two days, but it just shows like not caving in on that crave. It's just like rewarding.
Starting point is 01:06:38 So we'll see if I continue with that because I'm on my third day. Yeah. Literally. No, this is day four. I mean, yesterday I had Wingstop. And even today I had. But Wingstop, just eating the chicken, it could be worse. Like if I would have ate, if I would have ate the fries.
Starting point is 01:07:02 Dude, you should have seen, you should see what I've been eating this week. Because I can take. Oh, yeah. I, this isn't an exaggerate. I exaggerate a lot. This is not an exaggeration, what I'm about to say. I haven't been hungry in four days. Because whenever I don't feel sick,
Starting point is 01:07:20 whenever I don't feel sick like I'm full, like I'm about to explode, I start eating because I'm like, I wonder what this, I don't remember what this tastes like. So I haven't been like, man, I'm hungry. I just like, if I can fit it into my fucking gullet, it's going down.
Starting point is 01:07:37 It's probably why you've been napping and shit. Dude, I've been nap. I've been napping, drinking god. I bet soda. Is soda kind of crazy? I haven't. I'm not doing soda. I haven't had soda a soda in a year and a half.
Starting point is 01:07:55 And you're not? Yeah. Because soda's kind of crazy once you. I thought about it. I don't even drink much soda as it is. Not a year and a half a year and two months. But once you go a while without. soda and then drink it again.
Starting point is 01:08:08 Like there's not really another drink out there that gives you that like, I don't even know how to explain it. I went so long without drinking a soda. And then I had a soda in Paris and they have like the real sugar. Like in a bottle type shit. Like a Mexican Coke. And then I just started pounded that I'm in Paris. Soda hits.
Starting point is 01:08:29 I did think about soda though. I was like, because I said this year I'm going to go no soda, no energy drink. No energy drinks. And you're not? And I have, what about coffee? Coffee. Well, yeah, I'm pound. I've drank so much coffee.
Starting point is 01:08:43 Really? Because I've, I mean, I've loved coffee this whole time, but now I can smell it. So even just like a K cup, dude, it's like gourmet. It's like, it tastes, dude, you guys don't know how good you have it. Let's just say that. People, all you smellers out there. Yeah. And I feel bad.
Starting point is 01:09:02 I do feel bad. I have a couple buddies. My buddy Todd. can he can't smell but he's never been able to smell you just have non-smelling friends too you've made them if if if i'd say to people i can't smell then they're if they can't smell too it's like an instant connection so i i know people that have never been able to smell they were born without the sense so they don't know what they're missing and i but i had i had not been able to smell for so long that i had forgotten i'd basically forgotten like everything tastes
Starting point is 01:09:36 tasted like there there's like a little bit of taste but it's it's just the regular like sweet salty sour but then you eat a dude that burger i'm still i still think about it dude i have to have gained 12 pounds in the past four days five days what are we getting after this i don't know whatever you just had canes i just i just had canes and i'm i'm starting to not feel sick to my stomach, so let's eat. You know what I mean? Hell yeah. It's just one of those.
Starting point is 01:10:11 It's crazy. It's the most insane sensation. I've been able to sleep well. Dude, the pressure in my head, because that's where like all the sinus shit is. So like I always felt like all, I always felt tired and drained and drowsy all the time. And right now I feel like I feel like I have so much fucking
Starting point is 01:10:34 energy. Dude, that's how I feel with my test. I'm like blaming my testosterone because like people, oh yeah. Like some people are just so like energetic and it's just like why am I, I can get like that sometimes, but in general, not really. Right. Like I'm just like so lazy. You have like very like short spurts of like energy. Yeah. And then you're just, you're like pretty chill all the time. Yeah. But like, Like, I want, like, extra, because I've gotten the testosterone pellets. I just want to get, like, fucking triple whatever I'm on and just feel, I just want to feel what it's like to have normal testosterone. Yeah. Because I think for males, it's, like, the most important fucking hormone or whatever the fuck it is.
Starting point is 01:11:26 Yeah. To, like, feel. Like, people probably hear that and think I, like, don't get boners or. something. I was just going to ask. I was literally about to ask. No, it doesn't affect that at all. Oh,
Starting point is 01:11:39 doesn't? No. Not at all. Not at all. But, yeah, it would be nice to feel what that's like. Just fucking naturally. Just natural. Like my yoga.
Starting point is 01:11:53 I think it was her. And flame sword said it as well. My yoga teacher was like, I wake up in the morning. It's just like so happy and like I have energy. And I was just like, huh? You're like, how? Yeah, like, what? What do you mean?
Starting point is 01:12:07 Like, that, like, doesn't make sense for me. Yeah. And, like, Flame swords is the same way to where he's like, in the mornings, he just wakes. He was like, oh, I wake up with so much energy, just ready to kill it. I'm like, what? Dude, I didn't understand that either. But I've been waking up with energy, but I mean, my situation is a lot, a lot different. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:28 But I've been waking up with a lot of fucking energy lately. So are you going to get more testosterone? testosterone shots? That's a plan. Good, man. That's going to be... You've been popping boners and shit since you got out the clink?
