Starting point is 00:01:59 Like, I was, like, standing over my toilet. Just like, like, I already felt like queasy because I gave blood this morning. And I don't know, it just like makes me feel kind of weird afterwards. But I like, get home, fucking get food. I push his, by the way, I've never seen this in my entire fucking life. Literally squirt shit on me. It was like here, here. There was some of my, like, the top of my hand.
Starting point is 00:02:28 There was like a few squirts on the bed, some squirts in the bowl of food. And I was just like, what? Like I already felt like kind of queasy. Like just didn't feel that good after giving blood. I was like, I need to get food in me. This is about to be so good. I had like a Gatorade and shit. I was just ready to eat.
Starting point is 00:02:44 eat and then literally one bite in I took a bite in like I think scrolling TikTok or something pushes by the way just fucking squirts on me and I never like I didn't even know what to say I was just like what the fuck Junior what the fuck as if he knows like
Starting point is 00:03:01 yeah I'm just like what the fuck like I didn't even know this was possible apparently I hit like some part of his apparently I just like gave him a chop I like chop this leg like Get away
Starting point is 00:03:17 You hit the shit spot Something He wasn't like sick or anything He just did a little Don't ever hit him there again Dude it was so gross Never in my life has anything Like that happened
Starting point is 00:03:31 Like I've had to pick up shit before But it is different When it squirts on you Your bed your food I had to like wipe off my bed Fucking get some paper towels I'm like spraying myself with like kitchen cleaner because I don't know
Starting point is 00:03:45 I was just panicking it was so gross and I wipe it and as soon as I wipe it I like smell the smeary fucking diarrhea shit and it fucking ruined my fucking morning I was like this is like that happens
Starting point is 00:04:02 and then I like clean myself a little bit but as I cleaned myself I was like no I need a shower and that's when I texted you guys I was like I'm gonna be about 15 minutes late didn't get off to the best start this morning. And I don't know if I'm going to be able to recover
Starting point is 00:04:17 today. Yeah, that sounds pretty brutal. That put me in a place where it was like I was hungry, no longer hungry. Not thirsty. Like everything just went away. I was like, I think I have the flu now. I don't think you have the flu,
Starting point is 00:04:34 but yeah, I get what you're saying. Like, it's like, oh, I don't feel good now. Like, now I, like, when I go home, take a nap, like, I'm fucking distraught. That was fucking gross. This junior still do that thing where he like, he gets, he gets bored and just wants to attack you.
Starting point is 00:04:52 He like goes on the, yeah, yeah. He, like, whenever I was watching Junior for that month, he, every once in a while. So he even did it to you? Every once in a while, he would get, he would go down and, like, shake his butt like this. And that's when he knew he was ready to pounce. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:07 And then he would just pounce on you. And I'd be like, ah. Would he, like, attack your, would it be like while you're walking or while you're, laying down while i'm laying down uh see me it's usually like if i'm walking from my living room to like my bed or something like that like he'll just start attacking my fucking leg and like i'll even fight back and he'll just like sit there like sit down he squares up like he's like i don't know what what it is about cats but they like get into that zone where it's like they kind of just want to fight yeah but yeah he still does that he's a little shit but and then he just gets tired and
Starting point is 00:05:41 then he goes to sleep and then gets super snugly yeah and this just cuddles on me especially i've been gone a lot more lately just spending the night at base house over in dallas um it's not official like girlfriend and boyfriend but we're pretty much a thing i'm just like scared to ask hopefully she doesn't see this see this but it's just like you're gonna you're gonna ask i mean yeah i mean at this point it's pretty much like we are dating like we're definitely exclusive like I'm not hoeing around she better not be hoeing around
Starting point is 00:06:16 so I mean it's pretty much at that point yeah you guys might see me with a with a girlfriend soon it's pretty much at that point been staying the night over there I'll drive back home sometimes just the junior
Starting point is 00:06:31 stream workout or something but yeah and whenever or since I've been gone more whenever junior does sees me so happy so happy and that's what I'm thinking like I was like I was gone all day yesterday
Starting point is 00:06:45 spent the night there and then came back like not this afternoon but like at I don't know noon or something and then was he just so excited he just fucking squirt something like squirt shit because it was like right I walk in with food
Starting point is 00:07:01 fucking I popped in for like five minutes before that but I walk in with food he's just so fucking excited he just shits on me I don't know I don't know. I don't know. That's how that works. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:07:15 I don't know cats very well. It could very well be. They just get so excited. They shit a little. You don't want an animal, do you? I do want an animal. A dog? Yeah, I want a greyhound.
Starting point is 00:07:26 But do you, you can't have a greyhound in an apartment. Actually, greyhounds, they're like most active years from what I've heard. And I could just be gullible. But they're super active years or like when they're trained for races. but then they're given away and then that's when they're put up for adoption. So usually like Greyhounds are like two years old and then they're apparently like
Starting point is 00:07:49 after they get done with the races they just want to chill. Really? And so they're like super like, they're like genuinely or generally kind of like relaxed dogs. Apparently they're pretty good apartment dogs. We were talking about this with hex and like all his dogs and whatever he has experience with dogs
Starting point is 00:08:06 but I was like I really want a dog but I just don't know if I want one in an apartment. Not that it's cruel because it's better than living in an apartment than like a shelter, some fucking cage. Yeah, some cage somewhere. It's definitely better than that, but I don't know. I just feel like the freedom of... I mean, my days are too. If I got a dog that I could bring to the hex quarters, then I would get a dog.
Starting point is 00:08:31 You would need a little baby dog. But no, I don't, I can't want a puppy train. That's the thing. if I could get a dog that like new sit and stay even if it was trained in Spanish I mean sit to say already
Starting point is 00:08:44 like you want it trained already I wanted like a dog that's at least potty trained but I don't mean you can't just get those I don't think I feel like I would want one Amazon Prime
Starting point is 00:08:58 a dog that already knows how to sit stay and I feel like I would want a dog from like the very beginning of like it just got born all it knows is like me would they be too attached those dogs are very attached
Starting point is 00:09:14 yeah i've done that twice twice with like ex-girlfriends yeah like i was there when they got their dog and it's like that dog only knows two people yeah knows her and you and then eventually you know if it doesn't work out then you're like damn like there goes that dog yeah
Starting point is 00:09:35 My girl's dog is kind of like, it is so insanely attached. It's fucking nuts. I mean, it's already sort of starting to become attached to me, even though it's only been like a month, month and a half of like even knowing it. But with her, it's like if I hug her, kiss her. Yeah. Like, hold her. Like the dog is not really on my ass, but it just starts barking.
Starting point is 00:10:02 And it is so fucking annoying. Yeah, it's it's so attached Because I think that's all She is all he's known Like his entire life Yeah Will disappear for like an hour to go work out or something Come back and it's just like
Starting point is 00:10:17 I've never seen a A fucking dog more excited How was the um Trip home? Yeah, what did? Didn't you go? You went home for a week And that's my formal was here
Starting point is 00:10:31 That's why I met yeah yeah How was the flight cast with Matt? You didn't watch it? I haven't watched it yet. It's pretty good. I mean, I think it turned into me ranting the whole time. Like, I think the first, like, 45 minutes, and then we started talking about Halo. But on the podcast, we, Matt thought it was going to be us three.
Starting point is 00:10:53 And, like, I think he came to my apartment, or we went and did a trivia. Then we went to my apartment. And then Matt Craig said he was here setting up. So we were like, all right, let's head over there. And even on that podcast, I was, I was, like, hung over that day. And I was just, like, before, like, on the drive here with Matt, I was like, dude, this is going to be rough. Because I knew it was me and him. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:15 I was like, this is going to be rough. Like, we did a trivia. And I could tell Matt was, like, in a little mood. Like, he was just not in his. Yeah, not in his content bag. Yeah. Not at all. Like, literally, we sat down and he was like, this is such a fucking stupid idea, like, for the trivia.
Starting point is 00:11:28 Damn. Yeah. Yeah. I was like, yeah, God. This is, this is the Matt I'm getting. And then on the drive here, he was like, he thought it was going to be us three. And I was like, I was like, you might have to, you're going to have to step it up on this podcast. I do not feel like talking at all.
Starting point is 00:11:47 And he was like, what? He was like, dude, I don't know. He was like, Hitch doesn't here. It's just me and you. He's like, what? He's like, dude, we have to cancel this. I was like, no, man, we have to do this. I think we canceled the week before.
Starting point is 00:12:00 We pushed that a while. So, yeah, he got a little bamboozled with that. I think it turned into 45 minutes of me ranting probably about the same shit I've ranted about. It's almost like, is this a depression episode? I was like, yeah, that pretty much, that's what it is whenever I start ranting. But then you'll start talking about Halo?
Starting point is 00:12:21 A little bit. Then they just want to turn. Yeah. We'll see. Dude, Matt was so out of it yesterday because him and Bruce were just watching, they were watching, like, nature documentaries. And so I come in after,
Starting point is 00:12:34 after they win and i i i dab up matt and i'm like yo congrats man he goes and he goes what what he daps me up he goes what he was like on the win he was like what oh oh yeah good shit wait uh thank you i was like keep watching bro i'm just trying to congratulate you that can happen on fucking dude it's a lot those tourneys are like kind of a lot oh yeah like all like having to like like you're fucking out of it afterwards. Yeah. How was your trip home though? It was fun.
Starting point is 00:13:08 Or what did you go? Like just the visit and hang out. My mom went to the hospital in January. It was like for some pretty serious shit. And then when she got out, like I've just been kind of like peddled to the floor going ever since then. So I was like, I haven't seen her, seen her in a long time. So I just went home for a week. And there's never really like a good time to go home.
Starting point is 00:13:31 You're always missing something. things so I just planned this one out I was like yo from this day from this day I'm gone but it was fun we got to see there's like a college football team that I used to watch growing up and I got to see two of those games the purple team the purple this team is that them this team who is that uh ECU any ECU fans there might be a few yeah there might be a few are they like a big known they're like the they're like the third or fourth and the thing with north carolina is just Pro sports aren't very big Because like
Starting point is 00:14:03 Where I grew up is in the middle of the state And like the Carolina They aren't very big They're not very big Carolina Panthers are on like the In Charlotte Which is like on the other side of the state And then that's where like the
Starting point is 00:14:15 Carolina The basketball team the Hornets are So like they're not Like yeah those are the two But UNC Tahr Hills NC State
Starting point is 00:14:27 And Duke And Wake Forest are all in the same state. They're like all right there. And then ECU's on like the... Duke's there? Yeah, Duke and Carolina. They're like an hour drive from each other.
Starting point is 00:14:39 Oh shit. I didn't know that. Yeah, like Duke, Carolina and State are like all right there. And then Wake Forest is pretty big too. And then Appalachian State is on the other side. Is in the mountains. And then ECU is like on the coast. There's so much college to be fans of that it's like,
Starting point is 00:14:59 wonder like if there weren't those college teams we probably would like go harder for their pro teams yeah for sure no it's it's definitely a college state no fucking wonder they're not that's why that's why i never grew up like watching pros i don't watch like any pro sports i only watch college i watch college i watch college i think even like back in like the scuff house days you would put on some college shit yeah just like you're like into this like yeah i don't think you've i've ever heard you talk about like pro sports not really i mean i'll watch i watch whatever people are into i just don't i don't i never like felt like attached to it i think i just like the i like the fact that in college sports like there can be like huge upsets there's like ranks and top 25 and
Starting point is 00:15:42 but in pro it's like in pro like the worst team could beat the best team and it's like not i mean it's like it's like surprising but it's not like an upset like these everyone on that field is getting paid everyone on that field is fucking amazing right yeah they're getting paid tens of millions of dollars The whole field. So that's kind of how I view it. But yeah, we went to two of those games and the first one was, the first one was heartbreaking. Really? But was that?
Starting point is 00:16:12 Who was it? These guys? Yeah. Or you went to two different? Two ECU games. No, I went to one each both Saturdays. And we were playing like our biggest rival who is ranked 19th in the, or 13th in the nation. And we drove all the way down.
Starting point is 00:16:28 We're down by one point because we missed. missed an extra point. And we're on the 20 yard line or the 30 yard line. College. And then we go to kick the field goal and miss it. That would have won. We would have beat the top 20 team. So is everyone talking shit about the kicker?
Starting point is 00:16:43 Yeah. So that would suck in college. Because he has to get a class. He has to go to class tomorrow. That fucking sucks. There's no way he went to class on Monday. There's no way. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:54 There's no way. I kind of forgot about like in NFL, you're going home to your mansion, your wife. kids. Right. She can couple you. You kind of get away with it. Yeah. But you just go back to practice the next day and keep kicking. Back to practice.
Starting point is 00:17:08 Back to school. Dude, being a kicker, being a kicker because like being a kick, I don't think there's another position like it in sports. Because like being a center in basketball, like you're tall, you've got a job
Starting point is 00:17:24 to make sure people don't, you know, make layups and shit and then you're supposed to score down. Like it's kind of a boring position, but it's very much necessary and you can make a high impact. In soccer, like the goalie, still, like a shutout's a big deal. Like, if you don't
Starting point is 00:17:40 let a goal go in, that's a big deal. I mean, in baseball, if you play the outfield, like you still got to hit, like, you're still going to make a big deal like hitting, but as a kicker in football, you have one job. And it's either you do what's expected
Starting point is 00:17:56 of you or you fail miserably. There's never there's like every once in a while you can kick you can score a game winner. Yeah. And that's dope like kick a game winning field goal and then and then you crowd surf on your team and all that. That's sort of the one. That's the one upside. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:16 But if you miss that kick. Yeah. It really is like a it's a rough position. This is your job. It better be done correctly because majority of the time they're not 90% of the time. don't need to make anything that's like not expected of them right like very rarely as a coach especially in college ball as a coach going to be like oh it's a 55 yarder send on fucking bob and have him kick a 55 yard like it's not doesn't really happen but usually those like 30 yard
Starting point is 00:18:47 those 30 yard kicks or like those 40 yard kicks like supposed to make those i wonder how people do get into kicking they're all soccer players are they almost all of them are soccer players Really? I was a punter for a little bit when I played. I'm pretty good at kicking. I was a punter too. I don't know. Even in fucking kickball, I was kind of nice.
Starting point is 00:19:10 I was always pretty good at kicking. But nah, if the fucking, I never kicked field goals. But if the pressure's on, and you fucking choke. I can't even imagine the pressure. I can't imagine the pressure. And just think that guy, he's probably 19, 20. Yeah, he's probably like 20
Starting point is 00:19:28 Yeah, well I think he's our kicker is a senior So he was going into this year It's like one of the top kickers in the nation too Like really? Like projected to go to the NFL Damn And then he was there any like shitty conditions Windy?
Starting point is 00:19:42 No No, just a perfect It was hot A perfect fucking day Yeah It was hot Shit, poor guy Yeah no I felt really bad
Starting point is 00:19:50 But he's done really well since then Like yeah was that the first game That was the first game He played They'd come back second game Yeah, he played, he got a, we, he went out to kick the, uh, first field goal of the second game and got a standing ovation. Really? Like everyone, all the fans got on their feet and started cheering before he even kicked.
Starting point is 00:20:09 And I remember thinking like, it's very nice, like it was a very nice gesture from all the fans, but also like, what if he missed that? Yeah, yeah. That was, there's definitely no standing ovation after that. Yeah, no, but he made it and, uh, he's been, he's been kicking well ever since then, but. Yeah, I need a visit. at home. I remember thinking, I remember thinking whenever I got into the scuff house, like, I don't want to be like super famous or super rich. I just want to be, but one thing I do want is like, I want to be the most notable ECU fan on the internet. Like, I want to be the most known
Starting point is 00:20:45 ECU fan. That was one of my goals. Then, guess who else started uploading videos that is from Greenville, North Carolina, and around ECU? And does a lot of stuff with ECU. Who? Just a small YouTuber by the name of Mr. fucking beast.
Starting point is 00:21:01 Oh shit. No way. Yeah. He's an ECU fan? I'm assuming he is. He doesn't like talk about it much, but he's pretty much a machine when it comes to like social media. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:21:12 So I don't know if he talks about anything other than doing work. What the fuck were his first video? Like, what got him popular? He counted to 100,000. or was it 10,000? I can't... Like it's all one.
Starting point is 00:21:30 19, 11, 12, 30... It's probably 100,000. Yeah. I could do 10,000. He read the dictionary. He counted to 100,000. Yeah, he had to trim. That is...
Starting point is 00:21:41 He had to trim down the video and the video is 24 hours long. Dude, that's... Was it like all in one session? Yeah. He did a video where he listened to God, church. What's that song?
Starting point is 00:21:54 The Jake Paul song. England is my favorite city, like that whole thing. Yeah. He listened to that on it on repeat for like, it was like 20 hours or something. Really? And like those are the videos he used to me. Those are such, that's such good ideas though. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:11 Because it like, that takes like no skill. But it's just like a, it's like, wait, someone actually fucking did this. Yeah. Counting to a hundred thousand. Have you ever seen the clip where he gets to the inward in the dictionary and he goes, you guys probably think that I was gonna say it. And then he moves on to the next one. I didn't even...
Starting point is 00:22:31 Genius. It's honestly genius. Because people are gonna skip through the video to the ends to see if he says the N-word. Yeah, like certain... There's probably a bunch of words in there. People were just like... Oh, for sure.
Starting point is 00:22:40 Like, you could piece together sentences from Mr. Beast, which I'm sure people have of him saying sentences. Yeah. Just because he's read the entire dictionary. Damn, he read the entire dictionary? That's such good. That's, yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:54 I didn't... really didn't know how he got known or famous or whatever but that definitely viral level things like that I mean he he had it figured out and that's just him by himself like in his room just figuring this on a webcam on his phone maybe it's so crazy
Starting point is 00:23:09 like that's like that's like he genuinely started like he started an entire genre of YouTube I feel like I need to go onto his page and like actually watch his shit I would actually go back and watch those type of videos Probably not a 24 hour long one
Starting point is 00:23:30 But just reading the dictionary Counting to 100,000 I need to go down a Mr. Beast loophole Because doesn't you have a hundred Million subscribers? Yeah Yeah Have you see that picture that Jack tweeted
Starting point is 00:23:47 Of his wall Of Mr. Beast's wall dog No What do you mean? It is different Is it like YouTube plaque? wall? Dude, it's his YouTube black wall. Dude, I still have my 100k
Starting point is 00:23:58 shit hanging in my fucking apartment. We actually just, I looked up you. I looked up Nick Kirchner. We actually just got our our TST 100,000 one, which felt really nice. Fuck yeah. That one felt good. I'm going to have to scroll back a little bit
Starting point is 00:24:17 to find it, but, oh, that's right here. Damn, what if you in TST just, what the fuck? his wall. This has to be a mirror. No. Those gold ones are million dollar ones. The diamond ones, I think, are... Is this for like his other channels? Yeah, you know, yeah. It's for all
Starting point is 00:24:35 of his channels. It's for Mr. Bees. It's for Mr. Bees plays. He has... Dude, that is... That's... That is insane. I wonder how much a day he makes from all of that shit. Bro, I mean, he... Dude. He probably has, like... I bet you he probably has, like...
Starting point is 00:24:53 300 employees just on all of this shit because he because now now like he he has not only Mr. Beast but he has like his his burger joint
Starting point is 00:25:05 and he has his I see this shit on fucking DoorDash when I'm ordering it yeah do you know how that works they have like it's not actually a Mr. B's fucking spot
Starting point is 00:25:15 he just opened his first physical one oh really in Jersey yeah but yeah apparently he like if a restaurant a restaurant can like see his ingredients. Yeah. And they're like, oh, we could do that. And like, they'll fucking Denny's
Starting point is 00:25:29 could make a Mr. Beastburger and your DoorDash will go pick up the Mr. Beasburger and fries or something like that. That's actually crazy. That is wild. I think he was, it might have been on Joe Rogan. He was explaining at the Joe. And Joe was just, like, so impressed. He was just like, are you serious?
Starting point is 00:25:45 He's like, that is fucking amazing. He was like one of the first people to do that, too. And now, and now when you go on Uber Eats, it'll say, like if you see something and it'll say like hooties sandwiches or like um h wings or things like that like there's there'll be like if you look there'll be like six or seven different like hooties this or h wings or like something uh who are those people and they're all hooters all of them all like six restaurants they look like different restaurants and it's just because more
Starting point is 00:26:19 people will be willing to buy and it costs you an extra nothing to put a nut put to put your restaurant up there like four or five times really isn't that no and i hop does the same thing i hop will have don't they have like casidias yes i ordered that one time it's i hop yes i ordered there was like some weird cassidia this is some totally extra cassidia but like i was looking on door dash at like four a m one day and i was like i need something and i just see this cassidia place i'm like what the fuck is this and i order it and i think it came in like the exact same boxes that I was like this is like literally in my head
Starting point is 00:26:55 I was thinking like pretty sure this is IHop there's no way this fucking place actually has a physical its own and like I don't know if he was the first to do that with like Beastberger but the fact that like people are learning other Mr.
Starting point is 00:27:11 like corporate change Guy Fieri or some shit if you know that is Guy Fieri yeah he has his like you can get his shit oh really just like Mr. Beas yeah I wonder who did it first.
Starting point is 00:27:22 Unless he has his own place, but I'm sure it's just like that. He does have his own place. But I don't know if he also does that as well. Yeah, I see his on there. Never tried it. I think COVID had a big part to play. That is when he started it, I think. Is Beast Burger or Guy Fier?
Starting point is 00:27:39 Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, that's when he started it. But, like, that's how, like, Cece's Pizza's Pizza stayed in business. Or, no, not Cici's Pizza, Chuckie Cheese. Chuckie cheese, they can't do anything in COVID. Who the fuck's getting Chuckie cheese? No one. That's why they rebranded their online store to be Chuck's pizza. And now they sell their pizzas on Uber Eats as Chuck's pizza or something like that.
Starting point is 00:28:11 Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. Or it was one of the names of the other, you know, like not Chuckie, but one of the other guys. One of the other mascots. I don't know their fucking names. I don't know their names. But it was one of him, and it was his pizza.
Starting point is 00:28:24 And it's genius, because if you order it, you would never order Chucky Cheese pizza. Yeah. To your house. But if you're scrolling down, DoorDash. And there's nothing, it's either between Papa Johns or this thumbnail that looks like really good pizza. Probably looks amazing. Yeah. And you get it, and it's just Chucky Cheese pizza.
Starting point is 00:28:44 I never, I never understood the, yeah, there's no way Chucky Cheese would have fucking made it, Dan. so smart so i wonder who was there's no way mr b started that and then other people started doing that right there's i don't know there's no way he started it but i bet you i bet you a million dollars he started he took i mean he took that idea and ran with it and then corporations saw him and how well he was doing and they're like oh shit we could do that he probably made it popular yeah for sure i mean it's whoever i don't know if it was him i don't know if it was his idea to begin with, but whoever's idea that was. He's a smart fuck.
Starting point is 00:29:23 Dude, he's... Or does he just have people telling him what to do? Both. No, yeah, no. That's the scary part. Yeah, that's what... That's probably what took him from where he was. So, like, just...
Starting point is 00:29:32 Yeah. Exponential fucking growth rapidly in such a short amount of time. Isn't it crazy that the guy who ran No Scope Media for Infinite? It's the same guy who runs night media for Mr. Beast. Reed? Yeah. Yeah. One failed miserable.
Starting point is 00:29:49 and one is unbelievably successful. Was infinite just or Wait so was he The head of no scope Or was he like something in It was also doing his own thing outside of no scope Which was which I believe became night media Or I believe that's what it's called
Starting point is 00:30:09 And I'm sure they were like oh you do this for Mr. Beast Like I'm sure you know what you're doing No because Mr. Beast wasn't popping in infinite days Oh really? He signed Mr. Beast while he was on it while he was working with infinite what yeah maybe it was other people because i remember him not bragging but like mentioning the people yeah yeah pressin plays or some shit pressin was his preston was his golden egg and i don't even know who that is but yeah i remember here and he was
Starting point is 00:30:35 doing some other shit and so now now night media is with like and i don't know if it's all read night media night in yeah like n i ghth i think he's with lean heart um uh uh lea and Leonhard, Preston, Mr. Bees, Carl Jacobs, like... Fuck, man. Really big people. Like, it's really, really cool shit. I knew I should have made friends with that guy. And he was, he was, like, always so nice to me.
Starting point is 00:31:00 I saw him, I saw him for the first time. Like, two months ago, since the whole thing, yeah. And I was like, look at us, man. Because it was me, him and Jack. Jack was talking to him. And I was like, I went up and I was like, what's that, brother? Like, it's been so long. I was like, look at us.
Starting point is 00:31:16 Because we were all in it. We were all. Because Jack was in optic during those. days too. He was like, we all made it out. Dude. Damn.
Starting point is 00:31:25 I remember me and, of course, those were my little crackhead days. Me, Aaron, Aaron Create were in the grocery store and we saw Reed and it was just like, I don't know, it's like weird.
Starting point is 00:31:36 It's like we didn't. Like afterwards? Like he was always down to be nice to us, but we were just like some like sort of like antisocial. Oh yeah. You know Aaron's not going to be like, hey, whatever.
Starting point is 00:31:49 Yeah. Well, he was on the production side, so he had like, I guess, beef or whatever the fuck you want to, like, it was just weird sort of between them and the whole production team and read. And I don't really know why. I'm sure you guys had your reasons, but I sort of, I feel like I sort of just like played along with it. And it's just like, yeah, I'm on your guy's side as well. Like, yeah, I don't, I don't give a fuck about these. And I remember seeing him in a grocery store. Then he was always so nice to me, but it was just like, hey.
Starting point is 00:32:15 I mean, we were made. But it's like, we're working with the guy. It's just like, man. The thing with Aaron and I is we were made to believe that a lot of the issues that were caught, that were happening during the Infinite Days were coming from Reed. And it wasn't until damn near when he left when we realized that like it wasn't until Roger came on board when Roger was like, you know, Reed's like he's been fighting for you guys. But like he also can't shit talk his superior. So like it's not coming from him. So it's and I'm sure for.
Starting point is 00:32:48 You gotta think like For us we're like Dude we don't want to deal with all this bullshit And like none of us are really like popping besides Jack And Seth But we're like we don't want to deal with this bullshit So imagine being Jack or imagine being Reed It's like, Jack's like
Starting point is 00:33:04 I don't want to deal with this shit I'm playing with Ninja Later on this afternoon And Reed's like I can't deal with this I'm about to sign Mr. Beast And he's gonna be the biggest fucking He's like in his head he's like I'm gonna be honest I don't give a fuck He's like
Starting point is 00:33:17 Trust me. Just get me out of here. Damn. I could have made friends with him. Fucking. Damn. I could have been working with Mr. Beast now. Now, I don't even want to make fucking videos with him.
Starting point is 00:33:29 Just fucking. I don't know. Be in the same room. This is like the third. That's the thing. That's really all. That's, yeah. I mean, it's kind of, it's not all it's about.
Starting point is 00:33:41 Of course, you got to, like, do the work and come up with your own shit and actually put some action into your fucking life. but it's like it is kind of like once you start getting in those circles that's when like some things yeah really can start to happen and this will be like the third week in a row on the podcast where i think i was talking to matt we were yeah formal on the last podcast where i'm just at my midlife crisis and it's just like i don't like everything's we're just talking about how everything's boring something will happen you just get used to it so quick and it's just like nothing gives me the video games surely don't give me like uh people always ask like what what video games are you excited for i'm like i don't even think you know what video games are coming out i don't i don't know
Starting point is 00:34:29 what it is it's not like i think i'm fucking cool or something like i wish i could sit down and play a video game and like genuinely like lock in yeah but it's just like i mean what's weird is it's been like that for the past few years but like i used to take addie and once i would take addie and once I would take out of it would just flip it would flip it would flip one a complete 180 instantly it was didn't want to play at all had no interest didn't want to watch and then once i start taking getting in that cycle where i'm just taking every single day like all i'm watching streams i'm watching random youtube videos all i want to do is play learn study shit is so fucking and I'm a
Starting point is 00:35:12 I don't know I'm almost afraid I mean taking all that Addy for as long as I did because I mean I started abusing it in like 2011 like even playing call duty ghosts at home just for fun
Starting point is 00:35:26 like I was correct but it was sort of on and off I guess a little more on but then I drawn out there's a little break but just taking it for that long and then stopping it's like I think it like kind of ruined it for me.
Starting point is 00:35:41 Like gaming. Gaming. But it's also like that's it's sort of all I've known so it's like I don't really know what I mean I would like to be in the industry and sort of figuring it out with something else whether it
Starting point is 00:35:54 be and I really don't know like I literally need to like study the game and like what positions are there like what is there like whether it be like merch or fucking different shoots or I don't know working with creators instead
Starting point is 00:36:10 of like being on instead of like being on camera working like making people feel comfortable in an environment you'd be good at that you'd be good at finding at somehow being a link between creators and
Starting point is 00:36:23 and um like not not like in an agent way I'm trying to think of what I'm trying to say like getting creators to do cool shit like being the middleman for that you'd be good at that not like a not really an agent or manager
Starting point is 00:36:38 but almost like that but like kind of what page does but a little but less less emaily yeah less email even emaily it's like I don't know I don't sometimes I I wish I feel like I have to watch the words I say are people just going to shit on me there's a comment I've looked at the comments from the last podcast the other day there was one comment that stuck out I forget what it was but it from the object I love this podcast this podcast was amazing love seeing you guys talk Love you, Nick, glad you shared Nick. Then I just see one and I'm like, it just pissed me all.
Starting point is 00:37:15 I'm thinking about it for like the next two hours. What was I going to talk about? Oh, sometimes I wish like I could just like chill on my couch, get my laptop and just like, I don't know. Sort of, yeah, like fucking whether it's emails or just like DMs or like figuring out this, connect this with that. Yeah. Kind of just figure it out instead of I don't know. I don't know. I guess that was my point of
Starting point is 00:37:42 This is the third week in a row Of being in the midlife crisis I don't know if it's midlife crisis It's sort of midlife Are you going to Orlando? Yeah I'm gonna go Monday Or not Monday
Starting point is 00:37:57 Friday to Monday Okay You going? I don't think so I was almost thinking about bailing But I was like I have to go And I think I'm going to take bay So that'll be fun
Starting point is 00:38:10 But it's like, I don't know. I feel like this is, if it was anyone else or any other team, I'd probably be like, I don't know. Probably not. But since it's a Halo team, and it's the first tournament and so long. It's been so long. I'm like, I kind of like half to go. The guys like really good though. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:28 I really hope they fucking win. Because there's this. It's so funny, like all of our different teams have different clouds of judgment over their head. Fuck, yeah. From all the different communities. And no other, especially in Halo, no one gives a fuck about any of the other teams. Yeah. Like, I mean, they're sentinose fans.
Starting point is 00:38:49 It's like, yeah, if they win, amazing. But without, I think it's like, I mean, I'm sure it doesn't help that they're so good online that it's just like. Yeah. I mean, but even if that wasn't the case, it'd still be like, oh, but they're not, can't win an event. Fucking. There's been one event. They've played one event and they got third. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:09 And they lost the team that won. they're like damn you can't win an event it's like well motherfuck there are no events this season was stupid I can't believe they even like I mean it's like half of it's just online but it's like no one's truly counting these online shit yeah I know so it's we had a we had like a month long of conversations trying to get that super the super that the guys won at ESA the one that they just won't the one that they just no not not the United one this past weekend but the one like two months ago or a month ago And they won that one as well? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:43 That one came with hardware. They got a trophy. Oh, shit. Yeah, it was like an actual... Came with hardware. Actual HCS event. So they've won the past two online. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:58 All right. We'll see. We'll see. There we go. Are you playing in that Halo 3 thing? I got a DM about it. I didn't even open it. But I saw the DM and it said something.
Starting point is 00:40:08 I was like, I don't even have my ticket yet. So I don't even know if I'm for sure going. I don't know it kind of turned into do I really want to go I know what it's going to turn into when I go there like it's just going to be me watching and partying with all my Halo friends just like do I really want to fucking do that I've been like kind of getting on a decent schedule again
Starting point is 00:40:28 been streaming again at least a little bit where was the last Halo event you went to though fucking I think it was wait no the second one wasn't the second one like Kansas City or something so you do you go to an infant event? The first, I don't think, I didn't, I don't think I've gone to one when formal was playing now. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:40:50 You didn't know Raleigh, did you? Whatever the first one with Ola was, I don't remember what the hell it was. Raleigh? Because my brain is a literal fucking mush. But whenever Ola was on the tournament or on the team, I went to that tournament. I don't, I don't remember what event that was. I can't remember events for shit. I went home for the Raleigh one.
Starting point is 00:41:11 I can't remember if I saw you there or not. Yeah, I don't think I was there when formal was on the team. That's also why I feel like I got to go. Dude, yeah, that's, that's what's, that's the only, like, I've just been traveling so damn much. Yeah, you went to the, cod next? Yeah, fucking, I went to, I went to, yeah, we can talk about that. I went to Doc's event, then I came home, then I flew back to L.A. for the
Starting point is 00:41:40 optic party that you were there for 45 minutes and then I flew back home and then I went I went somewhere else I can't remember but regardless
Starting point is 00:41:51 then I flew to North Carolina yeah you've been gone and then I flew back here and then I flew two days later to L.A. again it's like dude I kind of want to just yeah and then if you were to go
Starting point is 00:42:04 Orlando like it's just non- fucking stop I'm definitely nope nothing is going to stop me from going to worlds though yeah
Starting point is 00:42:13 like I have to any any any cod any optic event in the United States because I was going to say any world championship
Starting point is 00:42:21 on any team but like the guys the Valorant team just played in a world championship but that was in Istanbul so that's a little different
Starting point is 00:42:28 yeah where is that Turkey yeah I want I mean I would love to have gone but turkey flying to Turkey let me see where
Starting point is 00:42:38 turkey is I wonder how long of a flight that would be. How was, uh, yeah, what did you do with the Cod next event? I saw like that video of you and I was like, wait, what the fuck? I didn't know this was, you had like your own like little segment. Yeah, I had a little segment for Mountain Dew, um, where, you know, they were filming a commercial and so I did a lot of interviews with some people and that was a lot of fun. Just being able to, being able to work an event like that is pretty cool because everyone was there.
Starting point is 00:43:08 Do you get nervous doing that? No, not really. They try, uh, I get nervous for super scripted questions. There were a couple of, there were a couple of questions where I was like, it's like we don't need to ask these questions. Yeah. But for other, like, and I don't think they realize, I don't think a lot of people that like hired me for that
Starting point is 00:43:29 realized how close of friends I am with like a majority of people there. So they were like, if you see Aiden, like, grab Aiden and ask him this. and I'm like, I know Aiden. I'm not going to, I'm not going to ask him something super. Like, if you pulled up to Aden asking that, he'd be like, uh, right. He'd be like, what the fuck? What is wrong with you? And I'd be like, no, like, what's up, brother?
Starting point is 00:43:49 Like, how are you doing? Yeah. Like, that's what it turned into, which is great. I think it was very natural. Were you one of the people on stream? Or was TST was there, right? Yeah. Or Blake, yeah, Blake and George were there.
Starting point is 00:44:00 I saw them in the, did you guys were part of the people like playing, like on stream? Well, yeah. So there was 200. Dude, there were 200 double PC setups. Yeah, that's crazy. That is insane. And they were all routed through one production. So they could switch between anyone in the building.
Starting point is 00:44:21 That's crazy. Did you meet Nadia? The TikTok cheater? I didn't. I haven't. No, I didn't meet her. Put it in the thumbnail. I did not meet her.
Starting point is 00:44:30 No. Oh, shit. I think I saw her like once or twice. Yeah, I don't know if she's actually cheating. I don't. I didn't know her very well. or I don't know her at all, so. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:39 I didn't say, I didn't say, I just, I don't, literally no cod content pops up on my page at all except hers. And I don't know how. I don't, I don't follow her anything, but her,
Starting point is 00:44:49 she is all over TikTok. Yeah. It's, I think that, I don't want to give, I mean, I think that the biggest issue is, are the fucking weirdos that make,
Starting point is 00:45:01 like, videos about, like, just accusing people of cheating. But if that's, if I'm nodding. for one i'm a female and a male dominated sport or whatever the fuck you want to call it
Starting point is 00:45:14 i would be so hype if if i don't cheat and everyone's calling me a cheater like i'd be like i'm the fucking man yeah no that would literally make me feel good and i think there's a part of her that like gets off on it oh for what yeah i mean i obviously being called a cheating bitch and all that that probably is not the best but like being called a cheater if she is not cheating yeah it's got it's got to be one of the best feelings that's what i mean that's such a compliment i talked to joe about all the time people thought joe was cheating for a long time and like then he would play tournaments on console and win those two and then it's like so what do you think now yeah but i mean it is actually i've i've seen some of the clips of like of people saying like
Starting point is 00:46:00 yo she played so bad at cod next because she wasn't on her cheater set up they reached so hard so hard with that reaching there are some clips where i saw a clip where she was shooting at the wall to test yeah recoil of a gun or just you know you that's your first time shooting the fucking like you're gonna just shoot at the wall like you're not in a fucking tournament focus up ready to jump around a corner like you're like oh what's this dude people are like oh my god she's so bad she's shooting at the wall i'm like that shows the IQ level of people that think everyone is cheating i just heard something the other day it was like there's like eight billion people in the planet probably only a hundred million actually have souls and like the rest and i think those people
Starting point is 00:46:41 that make those kind of comments are like the npc non-soulish like they're not really sure if they're real or not but it's like they are there for a purpose and it like helps sort of drive the souls into a certain direction on planet earth regardless if nadia or swag or z leaner or joe or aden or scum in or biffle any of these people one of the people i named might be cheating three of the people i named might be cheating zero of the people i named might be cheating but but the bottom line is these we don't know no one knows and these people that are making videos about it are just taking advantage of all the dog shit cod players out there and taking advantage of their mentality and saying you aren't bad
Starting point is 00:47:35 everyone that you watch is just cheating so don't feel bad about it just take all that negative energy you have and instead of making yourself better let's just blame everyone else and they're making money off of it and it's also like yeah and it's also fucking
Starting point is 00:47:51 this Nadia girl probably streams eight hours a day like there should be there shouldn't just be four five sketchy clips that are posted on TikTok like if She's actually the only thing, and she might have, I've seen something weird.
Starting point is 00:48:08 She was like, playing live. There are two clips from her that are the most sus shit I've ever seen. Yeah, it is, yeah. Is it the one where it's like a guy glitches to the left, but her aim instantly is following him? And then another is her like running into a room, jumping,
Starting point is 00:48:24 shooting the corner. When there's a dude on the other side of the wall. I am not saying she cheats, but those are the most suspect clips I think I've ever seen. I mean, even Z has a few too But Z is like There are so many
Starting point is 00:48:39 But when you play so much I'm sure people can't Imagine if Seth Seth played war zone consistently for a month And in that month People were already putting him On live stream fails
Starting point is 00:48:51 And streamers cheats Redits And it's like Because if someone's good They're gonna get Something weird's gonna happen If you watch If you watch professional Val
Starting point is 00:49:03 How many times do you see them pre-ame through a wall right at someone's head? Yeah. Because they play eight hours a day, nine, ten hours a day. Yeah, even watch the tournament a little bit, but even just a little bit I watch you, they're perfectly lined up. Perfectly lined up. Like perfectly as they're just strafing with the person. And it's just like perfect timing.
Starting point is 00:49:24 Wow, they must be. I remember talking to Mixwell. And we were, because we were talking, there was a bunch of people back in 2016, 2015, in CSGO that were being accused of cheating. And, and Mixwell was like, there's no, I don't think anyone's cheating because sometimes I watch myself back, like on Vod's, and I think I look suss.
Starting point is 00:49:46 Because I'll pre-ame a spot through a wall or even try to wall bang something, like, because he was an, he was an opera. And like, there's the line, the outline of the enemy is right where I aimed. Yeah. He's like, and that's sketchy. But even when you're playing so much, it's like you're going to, like, try to wallbang something.
Starting point is 00:50:07 It's like you'll kind of get bored and you'll have those moments of like trying to wallbang something. And it's just lined up so perfectly. It looks sketch. I think the only thing, yeah, those two clips from Nadia are kind of weird, especially, yeah, those are weird. But I also don't watch enough wars. I'm sure there's so many clips of so many players. There are people that, there are for sure, they're doing the work for you. There are at least 500 to 1,000 haters, strictly like haters that are watching her stream.
Starting point is 00:50:39 If not even didn't have haters, her stream would be a lot worse or like her numbers would be a lot worse. And like that's the reason she got is so popular on TikTok. It's not because of her clips. It's because of her sus clips. Like it's not because of her skillful clips or whatever. It's because, I mean, like she's, she's good. Like I've watched like she's yeah she's good Yeah she's good
Starting point is 00:51:04 But just people hating on some of those clips It is blown her the fuck up There's one part where Shanice comes over That's like the Activision rep She comes over and says hey Nadia can we grab you for an interview And Nadia gets up and in her mic says They're pulling me for cheating sorry guys dog She's so funny
Starting point is 00:51:25 Is that female me? The amount of people that thought she was being serious is absurd. Like hundreds of thousands of people started saying oh my God Nadia just got kicked out of Codnext for hacking. I saw a reply on one of her TikTok
Starting point is 00:51:41 saying that. It had like 10K likes. Dude. People are actually like believing this. People believe that. That Activision would fly. First of all, Activision this girl's big because she's accused of cheating. That's no one's denying that. So Activision before they invite her to the event
Starting point is 00:51:59 that you think they're going to do a sweep, right? They're going to at least figure out if anything sketchy's going on with her accuracy and all that shit. They're going to do a sweep. It's their PCs. And then, yeah, I'm saying even before that. So they don't find anything.
Starting point is 00:52:14 They invite her. It's on her. It's on their PCs. You think she's going to go to Internet Explorer on the fake page? Incognito mode with thousands of cameras around. It's all being recorded. If I was her, I would have did that. I would have like
Starting point is 00:52:29 Had a tab open Dude I would have to I would have had a tab open A million percent And it just says like Hackers.com or something And at one point Destroy like her and Destroy are pretty good friends
Starting point is 00:52:44 And Destroy says Oh man that's crazy Had Nadia just got kicked out for hacking Or he said something like that Like joking Very like it does not take a person With much brain power to know that he's joking there.
Starting point is 00:53:00 And Z-Later tweeted a selfie with her and they're definitely leaning into it. But I think the regardless, I saw a comment that said whatever, I can't remember the guy's name who was making all these videos like accusing everyone of hacking. But they're like, oh, he has to be mentally unwell
Starting point is 00:53:24 or mentally unstable. And then somebody replied and said, said, I don't think he is, but I think he's taking advantage of everyone who is. And that's so true. I don't think he believes 95% of the shit that he says. I don't think he believes it at all. He will defend it till the day he dies and he says he will believe it, but he is taking advantage of people. I mean, he's just, he's found his thing. And once you find your thing and it's working for you, he's probably, I mean, I don't know who you're talking about or like how many views he gets, but it's like once you sort of find that thing,
Starting point is 00:53:57 it's like, I got, so ridiculous, dude, I gotta keep doing this. This is bringing me numbers. So, I think she made one TikTok.
Starting point is 00:54:05 It was like, hey guys, I'm live right now. If you want to see how I get in 0.3 KD. lobbies join now. Like some shit like that. But it almost made me click. And then like all the comments are like VPN.
Starting point is 00:54:20 Like, I don't know, like VPN, bitch. I don't give a fuck if anyone VPNs. I do not care. I have VPNs live on stream before. Playing what?
Starting point is 00:54:29 Playing war zone. But it's because when I'm playing with Marcel, and it's TST and Marcel, and we want to use riot shields and trap people in corners, I'm not going to play in Blake's lobbies. Yeah. When he's sweating his dick off four hours a day. Like, I'm not playing in those.
Starting point is 00:54:47 Yeah. And Marcel's like, yo, we got to play. I got a way we can play against Hondurans. I'm like, run that shit up. Let's go play that. But like, I don't care of anyone VPN. if you're playing for money if you're playing for money
Starting point is 00:54:59 in VPN lobbies that's on the term in organizers they got to figure out a way to make it even yeah like that's not on the people VPNing in my opinion yeah that's scummy
Starting point is 00:55:10 if you're just doing it I don't know if you're playing a six hour kill race 4V4 and you're dropping into lobbies that are 0.8KDs and that's kind of what it was someone that was what it was for the first couple years or for the first couple like six months
Starting point is 00:55:24 and then people started figuring out, yo, something's weird here. It's like other people would be matching, like other pros would be matching other pros lobbies. And then there's one set of three Warzone kids who are just never in any of these games and they are just dropping bombs. And they're dropping nukes in every lobby.
Starting point is 00:55:42 I don't know how I feel about VPN. I'm sure the comment section probably does and the TikTok comments would. The thing is, is if you play on PC, and maybe if I played on console, it would be more fun. If I play it on console, it would be different because I'm sure console kids
Starting point is 00:55:58 like they can't VPN. I mean, maybe they can. I don't know. But I think you can just through your router. I don't know. I'm pretty sure I could when I was playing Halo. When I was playing Halo 3 in 2020 cracked off me tits, not streaming or doing anything.
Starting point is 00:56:15 I was blocking servers. Were you? Yeah. I'd be like, I'm getting South Central today. Fucking 10 ping. Yeah, I would, but my most like, with a router, I have no idea how a VPN works. I think it's the same thing. I think
Starting point is 00:56:28 that's literally what that is. I don't really know I don't know enough about it. Yeah. I don't know. I can confidently say she is one million percent VPNing. One million percent. But so is everyone. Almost anyone you watch is going to be
Starting point is 00:56:44 VPNing. Yeah. Because no one wants to watch It's not fun. Fucking. No one wants to watch you die to two KD lobbies over and over and over again. No one one wants watch that. Warzone's already in a bad state. Like, why would you
Starting point is 00:56:58 want to watch someone dropping in Caldera dying to a kid in a bush a hundred times? Yeah. Like, I just don't... I don't know why it, like, I just... Maybe I'm just... I have never understood the big, like,
Starting point is 00:57:12 issue of VPN. If I played, and I played for fun, and it was... If Warzone was my job, and I'd like to make videos, make content, TikToks, like, I'd VPN. but I don't know maybe it's just because I was
Starting point is 00:57:28 maybe I'm just thinking of it wrong like almost in a competitive fair old school where it's like you didn't back in the day you didn't have a fucking choice there was like everyone you hit start and whatever fucking lobby you get there and it's like that's sort of what I
Starting point is 00:57:43 I guess miss so it's like I don't like all this VPN and also I'm jealous that they get to display and buy lobbies and make money and it's like I could too but I just I just don't fucking want to and I'm not as good as them. So there's probably some jealousy there.
Starting point is 00:57:57 It doesn't make the person better. It just makes them more fun to watch. Why is that a big deal? If you want to watch somebody that's competing against the best of the best, go watch a game that has a ranked play system. Go watch Timmy play Val. Go watch Shroud play Val. Go watch fucking Toosh
Starting point is 00:58:15 play Apex. Like, go watch people that, go watch games that have rank systems. Yeah. Like, no one cares about your lobby in Warzone. No one cares. Yeah. I guess I mean, you know a lot more worse than people than I, but I guess everyone
Starting point is 00:58:32 everyone's fucking doing it. I mean, I'm assuming everyone does. Why would you want to watch someone that does it? Why would you play and not do it? I guess at this point. Why wouldn't you do it? Like if I see Nadia blowing up, she's getting, and everyone comments on her, on her lobbies and blah, blah, blah,
Starting point is 00:58:48 VPN, it's like, why would you not, why would you sit at home and say you are a big war zone fan and you play yourself all the time? It's like, wouldn't you just start doing that? Yeah. I would. If I was playing war zone,
Starting point is 00:59:01 if I was playing, there was a time where like Blake and George wanted to switch full time to war zone. And I was like, I'll do it if we figure out how to VPN. Like, if one of you guys can figure out how to get us into Honduran lobbies
Starting point is 00:59:13 every time, like, let's run that up. Yeah, it's no fucking fun. Because I'll, because then I can snipe, I can chill, I can read chat.
Starting point is 00:59:21 Yeah. I don't have to fucking, all the time, like 100% of the, The child, snipe, yeah. Like, you can chill and, and I, if I was, especially if I was a, if I was a, if I was a YouTuber, I mean, because there's, there's guys out there, like, Wildcat and, like, all of, like, Van Osse's squad, like, they play S&D. And it got to a point in MW, they were making really good content, like bantering with the other team and calling each other names and, and then would try to write a shield or assassinate them. And then it got to a point where, like, just because they're sick stacking, they would win a lot of the game.
Starting point is 00:59:55 So then it's only a matter of time before you get into games with like crackheads people that like want to play like Yeah, they want to drop as many kills as possible and it's like now these fun jokes aren't even like Fun anymore because we're just getting slaughtered by somebody You trying as hard as possible and it's like that's why I mean I just think the skill based matchmaking thing is just I don't like that if there there should be ranks and that's where I hope they don't I mean, they're gonna fuck it up. But in the new cod, there better not be
Starting point is 01:00:32 this skill-based matchmaking, this hidden MMR or whatever the fuck to where it's like you start going positive in pubs, you're only gonna start matching people that go positive in pubs. Like that is the worst. Beta, I was watching Seth's stream.
Starting point is 01:00:48 The skill-based, it seems like skill-based matchmaking in betas. It's so fucking stupid. Dude, the betas are in. I played two games when I got home. I set up my PS5 and I had already played at Codnex so I like knew how to play So I played two games I think you know just casually playing even though I'm using like try hard guns I'm drop I'm I drop two 40s like and everyone else has like 10 kills and then ever since then bro it's like
Starting point is 01:01:15 Yeah man scuff. Scuff jumps around corners people are figuring out how to slide I've been slide camp like people are slide canceling on me It's this turns me off so much like seeing this Shotsie discover the fucking slide cancel and all they like said how to do it and I'm like dude like you got a why
Starting point is 01:01:34 then slide then why then jump I think we're just getting old man like what the fuck I think we're getting old I wonder if these young kids here and they're like they're like they're like I'm a master in this shit
Starting point is 01:01:44 yeah dude this and that was such a I wasn't even that into God but I knew sort of of like the pomages and like I I would enjoy
Starting point is 01:01:58 seeing like Sprat play and like shit like that that's just like not a fucking thing anymore like you can't like going into these pubs scump's old ass fucking videos yeah but I'm like who is scump so he's popular now
Starting point is 01:02:12 and he's just dropping like crazy numbers and it's just the fact that that's like impossible to fucking do anymore it's just it doesn't because that was such a big that was such a big part of the call duty YouTube community
Starting point is 01:02:27 it's like what made in my opinion that's what made cod blow up like especially on the internet people liked dropping in and if you're getting shit on you'd hope to get better
Starting point is 01:02:38 and play against them I wonder if that's what call duty or if they got rid of god it's so annoying that they just fucking have this hidden MMR shit there's this skill based matchmaking
Starting point is 01:02:51 if they took that out, I wonder what would happen. I mean, there has to be a reason. There has to be a reason that's in. Like, whoever's running... I think they're thinking they're catering to the nobs. That's what I'm thinking. The thing is, there's gotta be,
Starting point is 01:03:06 there's got to be, they have to have done tests with it off and with it on. And with it on, it probably has a higher retention rate of players because the majority of players are nobs. But how would they do a test? They're just, they're, I'm saying, there just has to be. There has to be...
Starting point is 01:03:24 I'm sure... Every game has MMR because even Fall Guys, Fall Guys has it. Besides... Is there? Yeah, Jack was telling me for solos and duos
Starting point is 01:03:36 and trios, there's MMR. But for quads, there's not. And so if you want to casually play, you go play quads. Yeah. But like,
Starting point is 01:03:45 apparently the... Whenever, on all the speed running things like got big on TikTok, apparently solo lobbies in fall guys are like competitive as hell. Yeah. Yeah, that's so annoying, man.
Starting point is 01:03:57 That's just how gaming is now. Yeah. I mean, maybe that, I don't know. I would say maybe, I feel like I'm at a skill to where I could, if I grind for a little bit, I can, like, I can hone some new blobs. But I'm not at the skill to where, like,
Starting point is 01:04:12 if I'm playing people my skill, it's just fucking annoying. And it's like, I really have to put an effort just to, like, go 30 and 25 in a pub. Yeah. And I'm just like that there goes my retention rate. Exactly. That makes me when I get off.
Starting point is 01:04:26 But yeah, I'm sure I'm sure there was something for them to figure out some way of keeping. The noobs around. Like, what about back in the day? Why did it not happen back in the day? Back in the day, I feel like there was so many more casual players and they were going into pubs. Pubs. Someone's dropping 70 on their head. That's kind of, that was kind of like interesting.
Starting point is 01:04:48 I was like, dude, this guy is shitting. That's kind of how. That's kind of how I feel too. Because nowadays it's like if somebody goes huge, you're like, how did they do that? Because it couldn't be just because they're good at the game. Yeah. Well, now it's their cheating. They're cheating.
Starting point is 01:05:02 They manipulated the lobby somehow. They reverse boosted. They VPN. They did something. It has nothing to do with their skill anymore. And that's kind of like the boring part. Anyone, the thing is, is anyone could do what Seth did in 2013 now. Anyone.
Starting point is 01:05:19 All you have to do was reverse. boost for six hours, then make a video, or hit record, go in and nuke a lobby. Yeah. And then boom, there's your gameplay. That's all you have to do. Yeah, all you have to do is... You don't even have to be as good as Seth was when he was making those videos. Just reverse boosts for six hours.
Starting point is 01:05:38 That'll be worth of it. I mean, hey, that's how some big YouTubers got big. But like back then, he just literally starts up a lobby, boom. Yes. I mean, Seth would get on... Seth would get on play three games and boom. That's three game plays. But, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:05:54 Did you like the new con? I enjoy it. I think, I do enjoy it. They desperately need a dead silence in the game. Oh, yeah. Desperately need dead silence. We'll see.
Starting point is 01:06:08 But other than that, it's a fairly good game. I'll see, man. We'll fucking see. All right, guys. Thank you so much for watching episode 7884. Yeah, that was like 84, 85. I can't. All right, y'all.
Starting point is 01:06:22 Appreciate you all tuning in. Until next time, weekly, daily flycast episode, EMA Craig, play the motherfucking banger I made in 2017. Cracked off me dead.
