Nothing. We were three. Not one singular. I wonder if we asked our parents. What happened in 1996? Anything memorable? Would they be like, that was such a shit year? It'd be like, I think the Olympics.

Like, do our parents or does Hax have a... Hex is from Chicago? But does he have the... Oh, shit. Wait, this is what you were talking about. Oh, what were you talking about? Just in general? Just in general.

Well, now I'm thinking... Yeah, now I'm thinking of... Yeah. But I wonder if... Well, I guess Hacks can say 1996 now. But I wonder if our parents have, like, a... How I feel like people are... Our age, say, like, 2016.

Yeah. There was, like, everyone kind of agrees. 2016 was like... That year. Something was in the air. Something was in the air. Was it in the air when we were in it though? Yeah.

I think it was. We just took it for granted. But I also feel that way about 2006. Like something was in the air? There was something about 2006. Like whenever I think about my childhood, I always think about 05 to 07, 08. Like when I was a kid. That was like what?

Middle school? Yeah, like early middle school early high school. Like freshman sophomore year. The Keynes won the Stanley Cup. I got 2009. I feel like 2009 is pretty special. Damn, you said 2006, we were in middle school and you won in 2009? 2009, I just graduated.

Just graduated high school. And then- Well, doesn't it seem like... Became a world chant. When you're an adult, like, like six... Five years is like nothing. Like, think about everything that's happened since you got back from rehab. Like, it's a, it's like a blur.

It's basically the same. It's like a blur. Yeah. And think about school. I like to tell myself, like, there's so much, so much growth in the past five years. Well, you have grown. But it's not like, uh, it's obviously not a 12 to 17.

Right. Oh, true. You're saying like physical, like, like age. Yeah. Like, even besides physically, just your entire, it's totally different from 12 to 17. That's so true. Or fucking, you know, I guess that'd be like middle school.

It's like, middle, middle, middle, high school. It's like when I think about four years ago, like I, I thought about this the other night playing Minecraft because people will, people kept coming into my stream while we, while I was streaming Minecraft and they were kept saying, man, this game is so, this game is so nostalgic. And they were talking about different points of the game. And if you go back and watch a Minecraft video from five years ago, they'll talk about Minecraft as it's, nostalgic from five years before that or four years before that now they talk about five years and now they talk and and like people will talk about three years ago like it was in a like like

like there was this wouldn't it come out i don't know like 2006 or something it doesn't maybe it was maybe it was 2009 i don't know but like probably there was like a there was like everything good everything yeah it was just yeah that's Minecraft came out then i won yeah and that was about it There were like this, there were like these humongous S&P, like, multiplayer servers for Minecraft where like the content creators were like getting like three million views of video or some shit. And in my eyes, like that just happened. I'm like damn that just like I feel like that happened like last year. But then I'll watch a video like of those guys being like the content creators that were in that in that server. They'll be like they'll be interviewed and they talk about like the those days.

like they were ancient. And I'm like, wow, because they were like 16 when they were playing. Now they're 20. But those four years meant nothing to me. Like, it was just time to me. But to them, 16 to 20 is like. It's like a complete. Like they think like, man, I was so cringe back then when I was making those videos.

And like all that. I'm like, holy shit. Like that there's not a thing to where like at, what am I now, 38, 39? There's not. There's not a thing at 34 to where I'm like, damn, when I was 30, that shit. What I was doing when I was 30? That she was, well, what's your cutoff? In 2020, that shit was so cringe.

I mean, I guess there is kind of, I can't believe I was doing that. Because I do think about, like, how my lifestyle in 2020 was so insane that it's like, I can't even fathom. That's a little different. I guess it's a little different. You, like, went through something. I'm talking about just like normal. Just like going through a regular life. Yeah, just going through regular life, like, like, nothing too.

insane has happened to me over the past five years. It's all a, I swear since 27, it's a blur. That's what I'm saying. Like 26, 27. It was like, 26, 27, somewhere around there. It was just, there's got to be a better word for it than a blur. But it was like, it's like at 27. It was like, all right, fun's over.

Right. Like, we're fun. I think right after you get up for. I'm still unresponsible, lazy, ugly and all that. But like at 27, I was just like, like okay I can't be I can't keep doing this I think it's right after you doing it and then we saw where that went but then I hit 30 then I was like all right now I can't keep now you definitely can't you know I definitely can't keep doing I think

it's after you get off your mom's insurance I think that's what it is that's when like I feel like I've been off that for a long time well yeah you're 34 so you went off it for eight years because it's 26 you get off oh I thought it was like 25 I think it's 26 Pretty sure. Do you know, 26? So Matt, you're still on it? So now we have like... You're welcome, man.

Optic health care. Yeah, Optic Healthcare. That shit's a fucking scam in itself. Why the fuck am I even paying for this optic health care shit? It's like taking money out of my check. And every time... Every time I go to some place where, like, my health... Like, I went to physical therapy.

Right. And I'm like, well, I have health insurance. And, like, people tell me, you have health insurance. insurance use it that that was my mom that was my impression on my mom you have health insurance nick use it so i go to fucking use it and it's it makes no difference and they're just like well you got to pay your deductible which is 1500 so come back 15 times after paying cash out of your own fucking pocket and then it'll kick in and then you go to some other place and it's like does a deductible count for everything like if i use if i pay towards my deductible at a physical

therapy place yeah does it count for a deductible if i go yes get my fucking knee scanned yes like all of that just counts towards as long as it's not have that enough problems as long as it's not i or dental because i i care and dental are different i'm pretty sure and then yeah all All general health. There's not, who has that many, there's people with that many problems to where health insurance probably does clutch up. Like, I don't have that many problems to reach, like, what is the deductible? Like, $1,500?

Kind of sounds about. My, I, I had a really bad deductible one year. It was like $10,000. It's like, who's fucking getting in that much? What's your deductible? It's $4,000, and I've twisted a ball twice, so it has paid for itself. Oh, you've twisted it. You've twisted your ball again?

Wait. Yeah, Friday. What? What? Why? What happened? Ball twist. I don't know.

I just... You woke up screaming? No, this one like throughout the day just got worse. So you have a ball twist issue. Yeah. Are your balls like... Big? What size of your balls?

Are they huge? Big? Gargantuan. Maybe that's why they're twisting. I have tiny balls. I don't know if I have tiny balls, but... They're not big. Maybe that's because your big old rod is there, and so they look small.

That could be it, but also feel like, like, I feel like I feel like I have a tight sack most of the time. Yeah. Let us know in the comments below. Yeah, let us know in the comments what you think about that. What do you think about that? Let us know in the comments below if your sack is tight. or if it's loose do they hang

or whatever happened to Jibs and make sure we clip that and put it on the optic Instagram page David Happy 19th birthday Hope you clip that

Our new social guy is He's I didn't know that was fucking Albeini Yeah I used to Was I talking to you about this? No

I thought we were talking about it at Wait was he in like your Twitch channel or something No, just like he's edited some shorts for me before Like he's made some funny short And like we've DMed Like I always thought he was like pretty good at what he did And he asked me like some camera

Because I was started vlogging I was doing like camera research sort of He was like what you get He was like I'm doing a I think he did a documentary for Falcons one event And he's like I'm thinking about buying a camera What would you suggest? And I'm like bro I don't think I'm

the guy to ask to what camera to buy for a documentary. Just use your phone. It's not about, but yeah, we've like DMed a few times and like I look back at our DMs and I'm like, he's like, this is your year. And I'm like, this is your year. But I had no idea that was fucking him. Fucking Albinie. We go way back.

What were we talking about? Can't go that far back. He's 19. We didn't go that far back. We didn't go that far back. By far back, I mean like beginning of this year, literally. We got a lot coming up for us. We, me and Hitch and I are flying out to Atlanta.

I don't know if that's where this is. And we're going to be a part of the Soldier Boys Rapper University. Yeah, we have to apply first, though. I think you apply online. I think that's what we're doing now. Yeah, we're just going to submit our freestyles. Right. Well, let's see what the application says. I think I'm going to pull it up. I got, I got to know what, wait, we have to come up with a group.

Dad gang. Play, wait, apply fast or standard application. Wait, do you have to, do you have to pay? Yes. Fuck yeah. It's probably, you probably got to pay. And you should have to pay to do this. Like, or else people are just going to spam applications. I wonder how much it is, though, to apply fast. What are I looking at? They don't know like what's going on here, bro. It's fucking soldier boy. What am I looking at?

5,680 in Q. Oh, that's only in the queue? Okay, what's this? Is that the fast one? No, that's standard. Yeah, this is the fast one. No, that's standard. Or at least it said standard.

No, I saw Matt click on the fast one. Bro. Is it playing music? All right, so I guess step one is going to be learn how to apply. to rapper university I thought this would be a fun little like fun little bit so you know what if they

I feel like they would actually actually I don't think so but I was gonna say I feel like they'd actually accept this but there is no fucking because we'd actually have to go there and like rap I couldn't do that oh producer oh you could go as producer

with my shitty and have people make beats for me but I claim their mind yeah that's that sounds good AI I do want to I did want to dabble into beat making again

but it's just all right we're gonna apply off we're gonna apply for a video outside of flycast but anyways there's so streaming kaisenat 80,000 to

a million subs did he stop streaming off a million subs I'm I believe what I was that his last stream I believe his last stream was the mafia thought in which he got a million subs. Which he got a million subs. So he pulled what...

That's his version. He pulled a NIAC. We pulled what we call in the industry as a NIAC. Got to his highest sub count ever. Right. A absolute miracle. How did this happen? Got more subs.

I might have had the most, maybe besides SCUM, but I was going to say... You definitely had the second most. I might have gained the most subs. I don't think I gained more than SCUM during the race. Yeah, you definitely gained more than anyone besides... That's what I'm saying besides that.

You might even have... had more. It was kind of fucking weird. You might have had more than everyone else, but Seth. Did you have more than Zen? It was like 8,000, yeah. I wonder if Zen hit 10. I can't remember.

I don't think so. But I mean, that's just what happens when you have goals that, you know, good subscription goals. Now, we're half of them done? What were your goals? I can't remember. I know one of them was run a marathon on stream, which is going to happen at the end of this year Dallas Marathon coming soon.

You're running it on stream? Yeah, I was just fine. But what's going to happen is this? I'm going to find someone to record me. They're going to try using their phone. There's going to be so many people in the Dallas area that the phone's not going to be working because the marathon's huge with so many people.

And then the stream's just going to go down. No one's really going to give a fuck. No clips will be made. No one will really be watching. But I'll do it. So I do want to do a, I do plan on doing that. Another one was a double date with Bose.

I actually had in my head, like, that would be a good, a good idea. Because I remember at that time, I was like, man, I just don't want to play anything. Like, I want to start, like, IRRL streaming. I think I did a few IRRL streams in Dallas once I, like, moved into my place. And I kind of thought that would become a thing. But it's just like, I'm so, I just have no friends that, like, you have to, IRL streams have to be like, you can't solo IRL streams.

You have to have like a group. It needs to be like a, I mean, besides Silk group, besides Silky. I mean, I mean, some people. But Silky's always with people a lot of the times. When he came to the major, it was just him. But that's like one exception. Yeah.

But that's like he's always around people, but then he, you can do a one-off. True. Yeah. I remember Bose was texting me about, dude, uh, Bose was texting me about IRRL streaming.

He's like, come on, man, man, We got a clutch. We got like two years left before the shit's all over. We're like, like, just some shit like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, we got a clutch now. Let's get a fucking, and like, I think, I don't know if he gets high, so high to where he starts to be, because you never hear this out of Bose, but there's random times

where he'll start spewing text, like, motivated, like, he's like motivated to, we got to start doing this, this. We'll get, we get meathead to move in, we'll all move in someplace. He's, like, permanent camera guy. Bro, poor meathead. Y'all have been dangling a carrot in front of his face for two years. Well, I asked him if he'd be interested. I was like, my lease is coming up in June.

Would you be interested in moving down here? And I could get it too bad. You'd just be like perma, edit, camera guy. You can live for free. If we can make some decent money, you obviously like, like, I would be super fair. Like, I wouldn't be in it for the money and try to like, like, he would have to get something. But, I mean, living for free is kind of nice, too. Um, but then he was like, I got a girlfriend now, so.

And I was like, all right, later. What, you got a girlfriend, man? It's just not. It's all over, you think? Well, he was like, we might end up moving down here. And then I could do some, you know, try to help you out a little bit. And I was like, I don't, that's not it. You're like, you need someone on a leash.

A super fan. Yeah. Actually, I don't need that. I do not need to be living with a super fan. But someone who's just like, I want, because what my dream, what my dream would be would be have someone that just follows me around with a camera and it's everything whether it's a vlog whether it's a stream whether it's like helping me set up stuff or like just talking back and forth with ideas i need someone that's just it's not a job

it's like this is now our lifestyle and if this works this will pay off majorly for both of us yeah until it works we might be struggling it's it's so dude so like my my buddy brandon was down here but then i'm also like i'm 34 do i need a fucking 24 year old roommate my my my buddy brandon's down here doesn't know anything about about the internet so he's just like asking me questions and uh he was like so like he started asking me like about these big streamers that he sees on like twitch or whatever on uh twitter or whatever and i was telling him like like the only only way to make it nowadays is like you have to play like the game like you can't just go live and stream yeah there are there are some YouTubers out there that only do YouTube videos but for the

most part like if you want to make if you want to make it you got a fucking you got to clip you I was telling them about how these like big streamers donate or uh pay like 15 to 100 grand a month just to have people clip their stuff and put it out yeah and I'm just thinking and I at every every time I was streaming like there would be moments. where I'd be like, I guess that would be a good clip, but then I would keep streaming and forget about it. And I'm like, do I go back and clip those? And the answer is yes, like, if I want to do it?

But then, like, do I put it on my own fucking TikTok? Like, do I redownode TikTok? And the answer is probably yes. Like, that would be the best choice. But it's like, dude, that's, it's so different than it used to be. And I don't want to be the old man yells at clouds. Back in my day before Logan Paul went to the suicide forest, It was a whole bunch easier.

But it was. Yeah. Well, I mean, the games changed. Because I think back when like... That also happened 10 years ago. So we got to get over that. Even some of my vlog clips recently or whether it be on stream, I'm like, man, if... So if someone just like went back and found all of these clips and like just started spam putting them out, no matter how they are, like scuff house days.

I can just start spam putting them out. But it's like... I feel like that would be tough to do. Like where are you going to find these clips unless it's already clips somewhere for you just download and throw it up? Motherfucker, just watching my rebroadcast

or re-watching every video I ever put out. Matt, how often do you guys talk about clips channels and social media and stuff like for the production team? How important is clipping? Is y'all pretty? Very important. It's just,

hmm, like clipping a live streamers. Y'all don't really get us like. YouTube video though. Yeah, you said it's harder to clip it. It's just different. Yeah. Like a live streamer me, you're getting like way more like insane viral type clips where we're just getting that good moments from a YouTube video. Right.

That's true. That's true. I feel like there should be a group of people. There's enough green wall people out there. Here's something guys. Yeah. All of y'all go start clip our shit. Start a Discord channel. Call it Wall. Call it green time.

Green clips. Green clips. or don't even call it some call it something else call it something and just y'all just throw in clips funny moments from whatever your home stream is

if you like watching Shotsie and a funny thing happens and it's a stream well just you don't stream or YouTube videos yeah YouTube videos clips just us so

anything besides the optic the optic YouTube channel don't do that but like we need we need we need an army and what do they get out of it the revenue from the channel oh just

give them yeah from whatever whatever it makes whatever clips they make yeah if all because it's gotten to a point of you start putting up clips

and that shit makes $1,200 think about it because you got to like it's it's kind of a reverse now like do you remember back in the day when people would clip stuff especially from YouTube channels

and stuff like that and you would see it on on Twitter and you're like man this guy's just stealing content like this is this is like I tell formal motherfuckers be clip informals shit and just get hell of views and I'm like bro

I would just tell your guy to steal that video and then just throw it on yours It's true But those clips are also helping that Yeah That's where it's the difference is Is it used to be stealing because there was not There was only a select amount of YouTubers

So like if somebody stole a clip From Casey Niceap's video He would just be like No that's my clip But now like if Casey makes a viral moment And a thousand people clip it and it gets a hundred million views, they're going to go watch the video.

Yeah. And like that's kind of where it's like turned to. That is what it is now because people will pay. There's certain Twitter accounts where people will pay to, I'll give you five grand a month, just like upload my clips to your Twitter. Like they might make bank. That's what they do.

I mean, people aren't even paying for their own content anymore. Like that people, uh, apparently Lacey has a, entire Discord channel that is just for clippers and he pays people per like he he puts like I don't know 15k aside and like we'll pay people that get the most views using his clips but they're also getting paid revenue from whatever channel they're clipping they're they're

uploading to like whether it's a fucking meta or or I think I think Twitter or X has their own shit look behind you to the left through the bookcase. What the fuck? Did you put that there? You scared me. I was like, what's going to be back there?

Fucking Allen? I just noticed it now. I'm like, I'm not listening to any of this. Just like, holy shit. That is the wave now. I got to,

I have to fuck. I have to fucking hop on it. I've been overwhelmed lately. Me with my move. Never mind. You have a baby. I moved apartments. We're both going to.

I don't have a baby. Going through. You almost have a baby on the way. I just moved apartments. It's a different vibe. I don't know if I... What, your apartment? Yeah.

I like the apartment. I like the unit I live in. I don't like my view. Don't like my view. The showers are downgrade. But besides that, I do really like my unit. But I have so many boxes sitting around. I'm waiting on this lock to come in so I can put.

put stuff in the storage unit in my apartment. But you already set up your streaming station? Technically it's there. Then the PCs are beside it. Oh, yeah. But it's not up yet. I also don't even have internet yet. What is the...

But it was so... It's just so fucking hard. What's the most egregious, like, I got this sub-goal and then we reached it and then I didn't do it. Example that you've ever seen. Um... Because Tush has a crazy one from the race.

It might be running. a marathon. Because you never did. And I feel like that was a pretty high sub goal. Tush had one where he was supposed to play the game getting over it until he beat it. And as soon as he got the sub goal, like during the race, he got it. And he was like, thank you, Tushbags, you know, for like, everything was like 3,500 subs. And then he looked at me and he was like, I'm not fucking doing that shit.

I was like, what? We have to like, this year when we do it, we have to. It's got to be shit that can be done immediately. Something's got to be, like me running on, not the shit on other people's sub goals, but sometimes I'll see people's sub goals and just be like, bro, like, just me. What's funny, the BCH merch giveaway,

I'm still in the works of getting, it was a girl of getting her or her shit. Push-ups did that, scuff giveaway did that, Jummy Jax did that, hot dogs did that, Honey Packet, Viagra did that. Chat Picks tattoo, we just did 09. Did that. Blood Fang tattoo did that.

Professional makeup done. Did that. Page did that. One mile run on to do a diaper, did that. Make a song. Oh, make a song with bows. Didn't do that. Acrylic nails didn't do that.

Double date with bows. Didn't do that. So you can knock all three. You can knock all three hours out in one night. Go get your acrylics done. Make a song. Go get my nails done. After go to dinner.

Or get my acrylic nails done. Right. Then go on the double date. Right. And then late night studio such. With all of you guys. Bring the girls with. That actually could be done.

Yeah, just one night. But there is, there's 24 hours. I'm trying to think if. Oh, you almost got bald head, didn't you? No, that shit was like 7,500. I didn't even, I didn't even hit 5K. Oh, I thought you got 8,000 subs. No, I got 40, like 4,500.

Yeah. 24 hours. IRL stream. That would have been cool. 24 hours in a car. Like, I would have done these. Yeah, for sure. For sure.

For sure. Baud head, I for sure would have done. Like, I'm trying, I was trying to milk to get to that bald head. Matt, can you give us any exclusive updates on what we're doing for the race this year? From the source. No, I don't think I can. Oh, okay. We have to, like, it's still in the talk.

We have to clutch, but I think. I don't even know. I think production should, you guys should be talking to us about what to do. I don't know if I'm going to be there this year. Because my, September, yeah, October,

it's going to be in October. My kid's going to be three weeks old. You know what I mean? Like, unless I pull a Chris Brown. Because I remember last year, James, it was like 11 p.m.

And I think James texted me. He was like, yo. I said the wrong person. What? I said Chris Brown. But that's, who,

who's the guy on? while and out. I have no idea. The guy who dated Mariah Carey. Nick Cannon? Well, Nick Cannon, sorry. Because Nick Cannon is I leave my kids behind joke.

Chris Brown is I beat my wife joke, and I don't, that's not fun. Neither are fun to joke about. Well, Chris Brown's wife is saying the same shit, or like X, saying, calling him a deadbeat dad on the Shade Room on Instagram. They'll let you know. Oh, okay.

But I remember last year, Um, there was, we had like a USAA segment in James text me. It's like 11 p.m. at night. He was like, yo, you got to wake up a little early tomorrow. And then you're going to basically be a drill sergeant. And this is like three days in. I'm tired. Like my anxiety's already high.

I'm just like you're starting to hit like the downwards. I've barely slept fucking. Yeah. Uh, experience. He was like, you're going to be the drill sergeant. We're going to dress you up. We're going to give you a whistle. And you're going to go around waking people up and then put them through a,

you're going to make them line up. And then you're going to go down the line and talk shit to everyone like a drill sergeant would. And I'm like, that's fucking insane. You know how much like pressure that is to like try to be funny going down one by one? That's 7 a.m. You just wake up. You haven't done a goddamn thing. But like to go down to see.

seven different people and try to do that. I was like, bro, this would be embarrassing. Y'all, I was like, someone needs to, like, you got to, like, talk to me and, like, make sure that, like, that would have been fucking embarrassing. And plus, other people would have been hearing that, got pissed off. Yeah, I woke up to it. Pam actually caught mad. I was, like, blowing the whistle a little bit, got up, like, climbed his ladder, looked at him. He took a pillow, swung it as hard as he fucking kin, and then just did not get up.

And then I think you didn't get up either. I mean, I had just gotten off stream. I know. But there was like three of us just walking around. And I was like, bro, we have to like organize this to where like, not that people need to know the surprise, but like people just have to be down for it. Yeah. And it can't just be some like production thought of like maniac be a drill sergeant. We're going to talk to them.

You're going to line them up. And then you're going to put them through a workout. I'm like, bro, that's so much. much pressure to make this a good segment with just me pulling shit out of my ass. I mean, we've talked about this race so many times because at the end of the day, like, everything would have been easier if people liked the game, but no one like, not us playing, but the, the, the supporters, no one liked the game. When it came out and we were playing?

Yeah. Like, nobody, like, it was nothing but, like, hate. Like, I remember, like, I was like, who was that in the bottom left? Seth? Just fucking Seth. Because we thought this, because the race, the year before this was so crazy because Black House was coming back out and people were hyped about it. The Omni Movement.

First time, first time that the race prestige system was back. It was really hype. First race since like 20, what, 18 or whatever that we did? And then Seth had like 10K, Seth never dropped below 10K viewers that first year. The Optic Channel. It'd get to like 30. Optic Channel had like 15 to 30 at all times. Fuck the YouTube chat.

And it was just, and, and, and then the next year, we were like, okay, so, you know, let's ride that hype. And then the next year, people were like, fuck this game. And we were sitting there like, oh, okay. I don't really, well, I guess I never sat there actually got to play. Bro, I would play for like two hours and people would just, I'd hear like Zinny be like, like, bro, I don't know. Like, I say, I say Seth does eight hours, then I'll do eight out, Seth prime time eight hours. I'll do his eight hours, so all of his viewers now come to me, and hopefully they're gifting me subs is what he actually wants to fucking play.

But it's like, bro, we got to get this done, man. Like, we're here for... And then I'm like, yeah, sorry, my two-hour shift every other day is really what's holding us fucking back. Let's make sure to give you peak hours. All attention on you. I'll take the 2 a.m. to 4 a.m. shift. My bad.

This was probably my fault for going too long. So I'm excited. excited for this year's yeah me too i'm i'm hype for it i think you i think you i think i think there there was definitely like between you zen and and tush there was a lot of like was there maybe it was the year before that well no i well last year's then he stole a brownie that was the only that was the only like oh bro tension bros that was that was a bad night that was a bad night because because i was also running zen's fucking tournament that night because Zen had to host a tournament

in the middle of the race because that was the only date that was available because the game came out and two weeks later the league started so we only have one week to throw tournaments

and so we had to do and there was a little bit of issues with with Zin's warm up going through it he was going through it and then the brownie thing happened on the same day I look over and he just has

my brownie he's just picking it out of the fucking Jersey Mike's bag It was a brownie from Jersey Mike's. I'm like, bro, are you eating my fucking brownie? Like, I guess, man. Just go ahead. And it's like, and then he was like, I'm pissed this fucking tournament is ass.

And I'm like, he's just like, he's like, dude, I'll get you. I'll get you more brownies. Jesus. And I'm like, that response is just the worst response you could give. Not like a fuck. My bad, dude. My bad. My bad.

I'm going to order you some. My bad. I know. I shouldn't have done that. Just a, dude, chill. I'll get you more proudies. We should live together for a week again. Just a week.

Like all, everyone from the race, everyone from the scuff house, like just maybe. It should be like a month. We go back to the scuff house for a week. Fuck it, two weeks. Two weeks. That shit would be hilarious. Two weeks. Half shit.

I was going to say half shit every day that we got to do. Two weeks. Definitely like streams. Like four, two weeks. Three. what's like the athletic shit we would do? The smooth cops

Two weeks at a house Three smooth comps Yeah That should be One like party night That should be A lot of logging Collabbing

Would you Rathers Shit like that Yeah that should be Optic Day Because Optic Day is all about the Cod team Nowadays And like people don't really care about them anymore You know what I mean Like people are more

Focus on Flycast And like Obviously And like, uh, uh, round the bar. Yeah, and then like our streams. My vlogs. Yeah. And informal streams.

Yeah. Watch party. Pred texted me the other day. And he was like, yo, me and Shotsie are getting a table at Greenlight. This, it's this club. It's a club in Deep Ellum. Yeah. We were together.

Oh, yeah. You were there. Because I go out with the boys and shit. Yeah. Of course you know this because you were out with the boys. I was out with the boys. So Predd text me Yo, I'm getting a table

With Ant tomorrow at Greenlight And I'm like Okay In my head I'm like Okay, we'll see I didn't even text him back Next night It's us sitting there at

Watching the next game Watching the next game We're out Having a few drinks Besides it She didn't feel too good And then Pred text

Zini Zini was like Are you going to that thing? And I was like Are they still doing it? he was like yeah it's a pred and aunt and i was like aunt's gonna show up and he was like i don't know let me see text pred pred's like uh no i think ants balin i'm like a fucking course i was like i'll go if aunt goes if ants pull it up you gotta see it yeah i just gotta like i gotta pull up right

see fucking shotsy and pred with a table and like i'm expected i'll walk in the place they already have the table they already have the bottles mad hell of chicks so i'm like i'll walk in there and say what's up right but Then it turned into like shotsy bales. Yep. Bose is taking three hours to even arrive or reply or figure anything out. Yep. And then it ends up just getting canceled.

And I was like, bro, I just know I'm going to like, Pred's still like trying to do it. But I'm like, pro, I'm not walking in there. And then like agreeing to pay 500 each with you. And like I'll show if it's all paid for, y'all are already there. I'll come say hi. But I'm not trying to set up a night at midnight right now to come. pay $500 to fucking stand around.

But it would have been fun. Dude, that... Seeing shots, yeah, but apparently you bailed. That night... Show us a movie. Dude, that night was like... It made me feel so out of it. Yeah, I don't know if old is the right word.

But you weren't drinking at all. Yeah, maybe that was like a big reason. We watched the Knicks game... It's the biggest reason. We watched the Knicks game, which was a vibe, because we were at like a, we were at like a, like a restaurant, basically, like a bar slash restaurant. Everybody was hype, the Knicks one. Then we went to like this club.

It's called Hendies. Yeah. It's like a, it's like a bar. Bar club. Bar with loud music, basically. And, and there was like a gigantic line to get in. And like probably the guy in the last part of the line probably waited like an hour. You say like an hour to get in, something like that.

and uh james's like no no worries like i know somebody that could like get us in and so we went and we got in and we had like we all had like a drink we were standing around like listen to music just the five the five dudes and i was like me hits in james brandon and hitch's friend brandon and i was and i was like so what what is like the fun part like i kept thinking to myself like what's the fun part. Was it, did you have fun? No. I did not want to go there.

Okay. James always wants to go there, but the plan is like, James, a lot of times it'll be, I liked going, there's been times we've gone there where it's like me, James, his brother, I think we've had like one of their friends join us, maybe be like four of us. There's like an outside section. We sit down on the outside.

We have some drinks and like see where it goes. That sounds like. Start drinking. That sounds fun. Start drinking a decent amount, see where it goes. Maybe hop next door. Yeah. But every time I've been there the past like four or five times,

and it's just like me and James, because he likes that place because it's the type of girls that go to that place. It's just James is sort of type. That makes sense. It makes sense. But we just go there, and it's just fucking hot. There's nowhere to stand. It was so hot.

Drinks are expensive. I can feel. I can feel sweat dripping down my ass cheeks. And I was like, man, I feel uncomfortable and hot. I'm not drunk. The music's kind of ass. And James was like, no, don't worry. They'll play something else next.

And they played like nine country songs straight. And I was like, I hate the music. Okay, I was just making sure. It used to be a cool spot because I know two girls at work there. And like, sometimes they'd hook it up. And it's just, I don't know. I just didn't know if like I was like, damn, like, I didn't want to be there. Okay, I was like, am I, am I like a fucking bitch right now?

Like, do I, do I not have fun anymore? Like, I was, and then I start going in my own head. I'm like, dude, do, do, maybe I just don't do. I can't have fun anymore. Well, I didn't want to go there. I have to play the game. I wanted to go home. Because I was at, me and James, we did a workout, we got food, came back to my apartment,

put a few things away because I'm moving. Then we went to the pool. Pool was absolutely packed. I got like, I got drunk. while I was there. So then came back to my apartment. It was still like, then I'm just like declining. I'm getting fucking tired and stuff.

But then it was like, all right, we're going to meet them for the game, eat some food. And then that boom, that's the end of the night. But then of course, it's like, dude, are you serious? Like, come on, let's go to Hendies and let's go out somewhere. It's only 11 p.m. I'm like, bro, I've had, I've drank twice as much as you today. Like, while you're sipping your shit, like, you don't know what I'm pouring in my cup. is half a

half a fucking bottle of tequila some insane high alcohol seltzer like my shit I'm hammered and now I'm tired so I didn't even want to go

but he always wants to go to those but I like even when I stand in there and I'm like I think I'm just about too old because I'm like she's pretty but not not even that I would sort of talking to someone

right now so it's not even a thought of like that makes it way less fun oh yeah i mean it's not even a thought of me like getting a girl's number and trying to hook up with her because i'm just not that type of dude like i'm a real motherfucker from the streets yeah um and i'm hell of respectable and i respect women and i love women anyways but so it's like you would see a girl be like oh she's pretty but i'm not gonna say anything we're not gonna do anything you see a dude and be like he's so i'm like why Hey, why exactly am I drinking? Like, I already spent all day with James, spent a couple hours with you all.

Yeah. It's enough drinking and dudes. I don't need to stand around with more drinks and dudes. It's been 12 hours straight. Yeah. So I think I kind of, I don't know if I, y'all left, and then we went outside to wait for Bose. Bose was like, all right, I'm about to leave now. Wait, did Bose pull up?

Bose was like, all right, I'm about to leave now. 35 minutes later, or four. 40 minutes later, we're like standing outside, and Bose was like, all right, I'm almost there. He lives three minutes away. So the whole time we were standing outside, like, kind of waiting for Bose thinking it's going to be, he'd be there in like five minutes. 40 minutes later. I'm like, bro, I'm just going home.

So I get it. James is like pissed because it's only like 1140. Yeah. And I was just like, bro, I'm going. He's trying to shut the house. Dude, I'm fucking, every time, like, every time we come out now, like, it's such a, such a bad vibe. It's like no one's trying to fuck Like just get me home

Dude I felt that way I felt like like as I was in the bar In the bar club loud music place Like there's a big TV in the in the soccer games on So I'm like I'm like I don't want to be a fucking vibe kill It was too hot I couldn't dance because it was too hot I like I like getting fucking drunk

And then if they're playing good music I'll just I don't give a fuck I'll just dance The good music wasn't there I'll turn it up But they were playing like sad country songs with like an 808 in the back. Yeah. Like country home. Take me a road.

And James is just like, West Virginia. And I was like, too, all right, all right. So I was just like kind of watching the soccer game. And I was like, but am I a bad vibe right now? And James kept looking at me. And I was like, no, like every time he looked at me, I'd be like, hey. I was like, dude, I got to get out of here, man. I don't want to ruin anybody's vibes.

Well, then I left, and I knew I was ruining the vibes because, like, I could tell Zinny's drinks were kicking in. Oh, was he getting a little, he was going to be fun. And I'm usually down, but I had already been drinking for eight hours straight. Yeah. Like, literally eight hours straight, like so much. Like, I'm not going to keep that going and ruin, completely ruin my next day just to, like, hang with the boys. And no, before anyone says it made him.

you know you can go and just not drink it's not a fucking possibility i'll go home if they said no more drinks but you guys can still stay and have fun i'm leaving immediately i need alcohol to be around that type of situation but that's what i needed but i was like all right i'm i'm ordering my uber order my uber it was 30 seconds away they were like oh shit you're leaving and zini was like well boz's uber's about to pull up i'm just gonna hop in his and then we're going back to our place because they both live right beside each other Yeah. So Bose took a Uber, picks Zinni up, and then just drives back, showered, got dressed, gets

an Uber. But he was also tort. And then he texted me. It was like, thanks for, let me see what both said. Some smart shit. Yeah. He texted me the other day, said, bro, whenever Bose texts me, I always.

He said, shut up, dumb fudge. You fucked me over. Whenever Bose texts me, I always smile. Like, if I look at my. phone that says Bose texted. I'm like, this can be some funny shit. He said you fucked me over because Bose got an Uber. Also, Bose was torching

time. Like, I'm texting before we even got to that first place to eat, I'm texting him like, yo, we're coming here. Just meet us here. Yeah, yeah. When we're there, he's like, is there a spot? I'm like, yes, there's a spot. If you pull up, we can get you a chair. All right, well, I don't know if I'm going to come there. All right, well, let me know.

Then after that, it's, yo, we're going to hendies. Are you pulling up? Yeah, I'm going to pull up. I'm trying to get drunk. then 40 minutes later yo where are you at all right I'm about to leave and then it's just like bro it's been three hours now like I can't just figure out this perfect

situation for you for you to pull up and plus if he would have pulled out he would have hated at that place oh it would have been he would have walked in hot it it was just so hot and it's and then I walked outside and I was like and I was telling brand I was like bro I felt like a vibe kill there

damn that I was just very hot and then I looked at the line outside and I'm like, you're telling me people are waiting to do what we just did that I hated. That sucks. But, you know? I would have more fun if I wasn't already. Maybe they were like 20.

Once you get drunk and then you come down, it's like, the day's over. Unless I just start getting hammered again. I think I'm a, I'm a speak easy. Like, because I went to Hendies one time with, were you there, Matt? Me, you, Paige. Is Hindi's on with like the? we went after the major yeah yeah yeah after me yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah that that night was there

that night and like but there was not a lot of people there it was a sunday night were you like sitting and we were sitting we were drinking and then that's what if i got a like that i want that they played the round round do your dance do your dance me and james got up and did the fucking do your dance i forgot what the name of it cupid shuffle i don't know that dance the cupid shuffle you don't know the cupid shuffle i mean i've heard of it i don't know how to do Oh, we got up and we did that. And I was just, like, dancing. I was kind of having fun, but it was, like, not hot.

There was not, like, and, like, people were talking. Like, I like that shit. That's where I'm at. Yeah, I think that's about where I'm at, too. But there's still a side of me that I don't mind going to Deep Ellum. It's midnight. Weird shit's going on. See where the night takes.

I get in my element there. But James won't step foot. in that area. Wait, were we not in Deep Ellum? No, we were in Knox Henderson. Oh. Deep Ellum's like where

bottle blonde was. It's where the ratchet clubs are. Loud music. See, I like the ratchet clubs. Where people get stabbed. I don't like getting stabbed. I like the ratchet music though. How much do you like it?

I would risk. You got to take the risk. I would risk getting stabbed to go to a ratchet club. Same. That's why I pull up there. And I, and I, uh,

I mean, not that I'm worried about it now, but. It's just where my motion is. I get confident in those parts. When I'm around, like, white people. Yeah, I didn't want to say it, but I kind of feel the same. I didn't want to make this a race thing.

But white people. It's not a race thing. It's a culture thing. It's the country. It's nothing to do with the. It's the culture. It's the music. The country music.

It's the lighting. Boom, boom. Hey, we're doing it tonight. And most people that do that are the whites. World Cup. World Cup. Have you been watching the World Cup at all or no? I want to buy a Brazil.

jersey though. Is this? What is it? Okay. Why Brazil jersey? Because when I was about six or seven, I had a soccer game. It was probably FIFA 2.

And I'd always play as Brazil. Because weren't they the best at that time? Like by far? In like 99 to 2001. Something like that. Yeah, they were gods. So I would always play as Brazil. I always like their colors.

I like their women. Yeah. I liked how good the team was. I didn't like, I don't think I've really watched the real games. But I was always a, if there was a soccer team I was a fan of, it was Brazil. Yeah, I feel like that's common, especially for people our age. Like, we grew up, we got the first FIFA on fucking PlayStation 1 or whatever it was. And you pulled out that, that Brazil squad with Rvaldo and Rinaldo and fucking Kaka and all those.

Was it? Not Christiano Ronaldo, the original Ronaldo. And you're just like gods. And then you try to play with the U.S. team and you're like, why are they so slow? Yeah. So I want to buy a Brazil jersey. Yeah, get one. I got, I bought.

But what if I get in a conversation about the Brazil team? Just say you like the women. It's easy. I could. Because it's respect there. Because I bought a Canada jersey. And they're going to be like, they're going to be like. You bought a Canada.

a soccer jersey? I bought a United States jersey. I bought two U.S. jerseys. Or just for Drake. I bought two U.S. jerseys. I bought a Mexico jersey and England jersey and Canada jersey. We need a Wednesday next Mexico game. It should be like Thursday.

Me, you, Hex. Down. I'm going to text hex and say, buy me a Mexico jersey. He'll probably do it. And me, you hitch, go to a Mexico game. Like, like to the game? No.

Oh. Just somewhere to watch. That's going to cost like four grand. No, just somewhere, somewhere decent to watch the word's not a shit show. But it might, can you look up when the next Mexico game is because it's probably late? Or do I just wear my I love Mexico shirt that I bought on Amazon? The next Mexico game, I would say it's probably Thursday. Yes, Thursday.

Holy shit. It's at 200. So what are the games? It's at 20. That's what the time is at. What time is that? 20 is. 8 p.m.

And there's no way. Hax is not watching it. I mean, he might watch Mexico at APN. Hex wants a night. Hax is feaning for a night with the boys? I think so. He wants his goddamn. He doesn't really drink anymore.

I was about to say he wants his. We should do like a average rum and coke. Smoke and soccer at the garage mall. That's not as fun though. If you're wearing jerseys and shit, you got to be out. You got to hear the Mexican people.

bro when we went to the cheer when we went to the game when we went to the game on Friday or when we went to the bar on Friday to watch the US game it was so hot like because it was like an outside bar but also the inside bars are just as hot because there's just as many people

but then it's also like 95 degrees the only game I haven't watched was the one that was that happened today because we were filming it's the only one I haven't watched I've been like I don't even have my fucking I've been like addicted to Where are you watching all these at?

YouTube TV. I just need to buy YouTube TV again. Because the games that aren't on, I think they're all almost all on Fox, but if they're not, they're definitely on Telemundo. So you just listen to it in Spanish. Well, yeah.

I'd be down for, only if he buys me in Mexico, Jersey, though. Yeah, I'm sure he would. Or do I have something like that? You might have a I love Mexico shirt. I have an I love Mexico shirt from Amazon. But yeah, I'm excited. I think England plays on Wednesday.

I'm hyped to see it. I like fucking with the England fans, but I do want England. I would be cool to see England win a World Cup. That would be sick. Who's Pomajus team? Canada? Canada, yeah. I got a root against him. And it's funny because I know, I only know one player on Canada.

His name is Alfonso Davies. But I don't know what he looks like. I just know he's really good. And I only watch, I only watch him when he plays for Canada, because I really only watched the international teams. And there was a video that went out of Alfonso Davies, like the most popular player on the team. And he's like recording a guy wearing his jersey.

And he goes up to him, he's like, that's a nice jersey. And the guy goes, thanks, man. And does it recognize him? And I was like, that would be me. Wait, I know that would be. Like, I can't even make fun of this guy. Because, like, I would do the same shit. I saw something like that.

Unless that's the clip I saw. That might be the clip you saw. Well, was that recent? Yeah. Oh, I saw a clip like a long, I think it was maybe a baseball player or something. Oh, yeah. I think I'm thinking of like a baseball player. But just like a super famous baseball player.

Saw someone with his jersey. He was like, hey, man, nice jersey. And he was like, thanks, man. That was. And I think like 10 seconds later, the guy, like, was like, wait, way. Yeah, yeah. I saw a guy at a Walmart. time with a back-to-back optic jersey on and Alexa was like is that the back-to-back shirt and I was

like oh yeah it is she's like you should say something to him I was like but what if he doesn't he doesn't know what if he only knows Shotsie yeah well but I was like hey nice shirt man and he was like thanks oh so I was on the trail one time like running slow like he could have said something but I was on the trail one time just doing a little baby jog dude was just standing here because there was like an exit here towards like apartments. But I think him and his girl were like standing there. And he had an optic jersey on. I don't know if he was like running in it.

Right. I was like, oh, yeah, green wall. And he looked at me and he was like, oh, I was like, all right. But then sometimes I wonder if they're like, oh shit, was that maniac? Yeah, probably. I would assume so. One time we were at the scuff. When we were living at the scuff house, you and I were driving to like get food or something.

saw this dude walking down the side of the street with a phase jersey on and we were like boo really i don't remember he was probably like what the fuck i wish we would have like i wish that there was a clip of that yeah i don't yeah we that was probably in our slacking time yeah we were just we took a day off all right we're going to go through some of the uh voicemails and so whoa and we have uh we have funny ones this time oh wait yeah let's play the july Joe Well one. What? We have,

we have, uh, if you want advice from the two, you know, biggest advice givers here or if you want to tell us a funny story and have our, give, have us give our opinions on what happened, send that in and,

uh, and yeah, it'll be in the, in the description. First voice note from Joe, whoa. First one from Joe Wo. I wonder if this is,

I wonder if this is the real Joe Wo. Girl up a little bit. Flycast. I'm a big fan. Um, Hitch. Love, you, Nick, I love you, but mainly I was looking for advice here because I had my girl over the other day

and everything was going great and I actually had up Nick's vlog on the TV. And right as he came on the screen, she paused. She stopped dead in her tracks and was like, wow, Joe, you're like a tenth of the size of that guy. And then she left. And I haven't heard anything from her for a couple of days now. And she hasn't texted me back or anything. And I was mainly looking for advice if it was something I did. or just general girl advice.

Appreciate your job, fellas. It's not something you did. It's something you didn't do. And that was work on yourself on a daily basis, entering a caloric deficit, heavy weights for years straight. That's what you didn't do. Your second mistake? Putting me on your TV in front of your girl.

I don't care how loyal you think your girl is. you put a NEAC vlog up, they start laughing. They start giggling. Boom. I'm in John Reed, lighting, downpouring onto my four and a half pack. That might not be something you can keep up with. You might have the views. You might have the Lambos.

But there's something different. The kids these days, I believe, call it aura. When that NEAC vlog pops on that screen, there's nothing you're going to be able to do. So Joe, I would take this. Though it is an L, every L can be turned around to a W. And I'll see you in the gym tomorrow morning. I imagine that whole thing like a clip.

All right. Next one. This is from Anonymous. Yo, Nick. Did you know that 35 is halfway to 70? Why did that voice sound familiar though? Hold on. I feel like I've heard that before.

that's fucked up but are you fucking laughing nothing nothing right here i just thought it was funny scroll up a little bit it was just a math joke really play play from the top what you mean like all these from the top no the top one what's up maniac what's up hitch just wanted to come on here real quick

Hitch, you're pretty cool too. Uh, you have a maniac, man. I love you, bro. Uh, my name's Kyle. I've been a Greenwald fan a long time. Question. Maynac, how did you get social?

I just want to be like you. All right. See you. Kyle, thank you for the compliments. Thank you for the question.

there's a lot of commotion that black ops too is coming back to the consoles what do you all think about it how many hours will you all play in the first month Black Ops 2 coming back to console. So what he's talking about is PlayStation announced that they, or haven't announced, but it's been leaked that PlayStation might be porting in Black Ups 1 and Black Ups 2 onto PlayStation 5. And I think it's exciting. The most, obviously the most, the most glaring, obvious issue is the fact that Black

Cops is very unsafe to play. So hopefully PlayStation fixes that because people can hack into your consoles and your systems and your internet and your Wi-Fi and then get all of your family's information. There's going to be cheaters. There's so many Codds. I could care less about them being brought back to whatever. That's because you're a Halo kid and it's already been brought back. But shit has already been brought back.

No, it has not. Nothing has been brought back in Codd Warfare, too. It hasn't been brought back. Yes, it was. When? Fucking... What's the airplane map? Terminal?

The map has been brought back, but not the gameplay. The game is back. No, it's not. It's never gonna be back. That's like... But they remade it. They remade the map. That's like saying sanctuary is back.

Sanctuary's back. They remade Halo 2. That's not how it works. Yes. They actually remastered. They actually remade Halo 2. They haven't done that in Cod. They did it.

one time. Ten years ago they did it. Well, listen. We've seen them try to bring a little bit of nostalgia back in Cod. I just move on. How many hours are, am I logging in? I'd probably say zero.

I would play it. If they actually remastered, I mean, if they brought back, if they brought it to, if they literally, like say movement, same way the gun feels,

no. No, none of this slide, fucking... None of this. G-slide. None of this. Old school. Easy aim assist. Like, it's hard to shoot.

It's hard to aim. It feels a little clunky. Right. They bring that back. I'll play that. Okay. I'll play that. Maniac.

I just wanted to tell you congratulations on clutching up and not choking so far this year. Keep it up. You're doing great work. Hey, that's a Gets. That's a W from calling it. I'd like to think so myself.

We still got a lot of fucking work to do. But I appreciate that. Hey, guys. I just, really want to know. If you're really best friends, prove it. Tell us a dark secret

about the other. Jimmy. Jimmy, Jimmy Arroyo Kesto Estes. Just Google that. Copy and paste that name and Google that shit right now. I feel like... It's going to be a mug shot.

Oh my God, it's... It's the strongest man alive. No, it's fucking... It's the guy. suppressed from Halo Oh, never mind, never mind. Do you think this is him though? No, it can't be him. Maybe it is him.

I don't know. I don't really have a deep dark secret. I mean, he knows the length. And hitch. Next question. Let's go to the next one. Don't play the two and a half minute. Oh, Julia.

Oh, yeah, I guess. You have no idea what's about to happen, and you just did that. Hi, Hitch. Hi, maniac. My name is Julia. My boyfriend is so extremely obsessed with you guys. To the point where he'll talk about you, like, you guys are, like, his real-life friends. And I have to clarify and be like, oh, when you say Nick, you mean maniac, not like a Nick that you do.

know in real life. That's fair. I know a lot of things about you guys, and I'm sure you guys are great people, but I'm just not personally a fan. But I know, like Hitch, I believe you're expecting a baby soon. So congratulations.

Thank you, Julia. Maniac, I know you scratch your tidy whiteys in the morning in all of the vlogs that you do. Let's see what else. I bought him a Maris Verdes shirt for Christmas. What? Optic shirts. really excited because he saw one of you wearing it on social media and he saw that you guys

were twins. He recently has taken a liking to camo pants because Maniac wears them as well. I started that, but you took over. Let's think what else. His Instagram got hacked a few years ago, but somehow you guys are all over my feed because he'll use my Instagram to go and check your socials and see the pictures. I've seen every documentary that you guys have put out all the videos. W girlfriend.

Major W. He'll come home from work. I like her. He'll listen to it. He'll tell me all about it. Um, and kind of getting to my point, I ordered a cameo for Christmas.

I tried to, for my boyfriend. His name is Luke. Um, from Bose, I think his name is. Bose never did it. But he never got back to it and then I got a refund. So this is my next best opportunity. So I wanted to reach out and see,

um, And just see if you guys had anything nice to say. His name is Luke. He's a huge fan. He recently just got Unreal in Fortnite. And I know that's, I don't know if that's really, should we just say a big deal to you guys? I don't know if you just play Cod or I don't know.

But I thought that was really cool. And then my question would be, female yapping. If you had to rank the optic members. And I think this was for Hitch. For best-lucking the worst. I don't know, what both you can answer, I guess. If you had to rank the optic members on who would be most to least likely to be your best man at your wedding.

Oh, to be my best man? What was your ranking be? I mean, I don't know. That's a crazy question. Thank you guys so much. First of all, W. Julia. W. Julia. Her boyfriend's.

Yo, Luke, your girl loves you, man. Your girl loves you. Luke, I think you hold on to that one, man. Yeah, you got to hold on tight to that one. Because if she knew the rank that you got on Fortnite, like hold on to that one and she knows you like camo pants now because hit started it but i made it a trend she bought a cameo from boz boz does cameo didn't know that's that might be the craziest part of the whole fucking two hours and 38 minutes uh best man uh i i guess if i had to i'll do top

three how about that i would probably be yeah i can't go through the whole list it'll probably be nick first errant create second hex third that's probably what i would say yeah i mean i I definitely say hitch. Make sure I'm not forgetting someone. Hitch, hex, bows. Yeah, makes sense. That makes sense to me. Yeah, I don't think I'm, there's formal.

Yeah, but you guys do. You and formal have like an on again, off again, like love, hate relationship. But we have like, me and formal have like a love of like, hating each other. There will ever, there will forever be, I don't think we hate each other. I'm just kidding. Like a love, hate. Like y'all will love each other than you just fucking hate you

There'll be times where we be Where we're distant because He lives his life and I live mine But I think me and formal will always have a It's almost like a hex and aade shot To where like they can not talk forever Right But then when they meet up

Cameras off Yeah And they're riding in a car together or something It's like they're just They'll talk the whole time about something That's just how dudes are Yeah How dudes are

But for me and formal I have like there's a chemistry when it's like behind closed doors yeah like the events over I'm in his hotel or something and it's just like me him and abg or like me and him or like car rides over here

yeah like it's it's always really good conversation and just like there's there's a weird chemistry that we've always had and that's why he was like my best friend during halo yeah anyways that also does it maybe one more It also doesn't include Blake and George for obvious reasons.

I just met people in Texas. All right. Well, thank you, Kyle. All right. So we also need to hear some funny stories. Bring us in. Keep it around a minute. Tell us the funniest thing that's ever happened to you.
