See, does that mean? Porquet means why. Why? Well, come back to another episode of the Flycast. Episode almost 200. What is it? I don't know. I want to know.

I give a fudge. I think it's like one. 195. Okay. If I'm going to guess, one night, 194? 194. I have so much shoot in my mouth right now.

Yeah, you do. I should have waited like 10 seconds. You should spit that thing out before, uh, before we started this. Well, our, our last one was swoot did pretty well or is doing decent. Yeah. We're fucking. We're back. Type swoop.

Type swoot. Type swoot. We're back. Actually, I was actually laying there. If you haven't watched it, go watch it. If you haven't watched a Swoodie podcast, go back, watch the Swoody podcast. Tell me if I talk too much. What?

Because I tried to, bro, do you ever look at the comments? I swear every pod, especially if we have a guess, people would tell me to like, yeah, maniac always talks over everyone. Yeah. At least a few of those comments. You do have a tendency. But you talk over me every pot. So people are used to that.

But it's when we have a guess. It's when people have a guest. Or it's when we have a guest that people are like, oh. So go watch the SwoopPod. It was actually a pretty good one. Yeah, it was good. Not good. I was watching it a little bit yesterday.

When I was playing Minecraft yesterday, people were coming in chat and say, yo, Zen is watching the flycast on his stream. I was like, oh, shit. Who? Zen. Oh. Yeah. Wait.

When I watched. I can't remember exactly what he said, but I think he said like, yo, fuck that Zen kid. He said something like that. It was close enough. It was something like that. Something like that. I did notice they took a part out. Did they?

I didn't watch. I think it was about that. Matt, oh, never mind. He didn't say that. Matt is nodding his head. Yes, they took it. They took a part out. Was it someone told you to take it out?

Or you were just like, yeah, this shouldn't be in there? Executive decision. We might cut this part right here. But it was like a 15 second part that like the way it was worded shouldn't have been in it. Yeah. Okay. But that was just your call? Yeah.

I don't know if. It was an EMC car. Oh, okay. That's big boss right there. I don't know if you like sent it to Zinny or... No, I do. I don't remember exactly what he said, but I do remember while we were recording,

I was like, that's going to be taken out of context. Yeah, that's going to be taken out of context. Well, it's just like... Because I know he didn't mean it how he said it. Yeah. But how he said it, I was like, ah... Because there was a whole... Everyone knows the...

With the whole Huntsman dropping Swoodie... Yeah. Zini got attacked. Right. And then... Swoot was basically like well, you know, maybe he could have had my back. Yeah, yeah.

And then I think we talked about that for a second. But it's really, it just comes down to, bro, the three teammates wanted that to happen. There's nothing Zinni can do. Yeah, but I do remember Swut saying something. I was like, that could be taken like. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

That could get just any shit on. I remember, I remember, kind of wondering if it was still in there or when it got to that part I noticed it cut and I was just like oh damn they took that part out

because that could have been like it wasn't hard it actually I think the way we're talking about we're making it seem way more of a big deal than what it was but yeah there was a bro last night so last night I was like

I got done streaming at like 120 is when I got done streaming went downstairs got in bed at like 145 and I was like okay if I go to sleep now. I can get like eight hours of sleep and then come in here.

And so I was like scrolling and I saw something about this Lego thing. Have you seen it? Have you seen it Matt? Bro. So so so I click on or I click on the short

and then it says you got it there it said like this is the best YouTube video on the internet like ever made. And I was like oh what? I was like I like it when people last time last time I clicked on a video that said that. It was a really, really good video.

So I was like, all right, so I clicked. I found the guy. His name is, um, shit, what's his name?

Dan or something like that. What's his name? Look, can you look up the, yeah, this guy, um, Reckless Ben.

That's his name. Reckless Ben. He, he's a YouTuber. He reminds me a lot of Idubs, but instead of Idubs going after like, you know how Idubs went after other creators? This guy goes after,

I guess his bread and butter is, like infiltrating cults and like trying to figure out scams and shit like that like really diving deep Scientology. Right, yeah. Wait, does it say that on there? No. Oh, he infiltrated Scientology.

A lot of people do do that. Yeah. So there's a guy that came to Reckless Ben and said, hey, I have no other options. I was wondering if you'd be interested in my story. Him and his dad, the guy that went to Ben, it was like an older dude like an older gentleman like a 50 year old guy and his dad's like 80 they collected

legos up to the point where they had 200,000 worth of legos and they uh he decided to start selling the legos at a vendor they gave all their legos to a vendor um and said every time you make a sale you you get a percentage uh but ultimately they're my legoes that vendor got bought out they have a contract and everything that vendor that vendor got bought out they have a contract and everything. That vendor got bought out by, or the corporation took over that vendor. Yeah.

And then they said, and then the guy was like, okay, well, all my Legos are there. And then the vendor basically said, or the corporation basically said like, oh, no, those aren't yours. So basically stealing $200,000 worth of Legos. Uh-huh. This is in Utah.

I, bro, like I said, I started watching this at like 140. I was like maybe I was just watched like 15 minutes of it go to bed. I didn't go to bed till 5 a.m. Is it multiple videos? He released a video that's an hour and 20 minutes. Then he released a second version or a secondary episode that's also like 45 minutes. I watched both of them.

It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable. The amount of loops that he has tried to hop through in order just to get this guy his legos back and he's, he's released. Lentless. Oh, so he's reckless bin is doing it for the guys. Right. Because the dudes, the dude's like, you know, I can't fight this corporation.

I don't have enough money. And he was like, this is ruining my life. That's so fucked. This is my entire life savings. And the cops, every time I go to the cops, they turn on me. And they say, like, why do you care so much about these Legos? These aren't your Legos. And I'm like, these are my Legos.

Here is the contract. Right. The contract says these are my Legos. And it's like a horror store. bro it is it's like a nightmare it's like and and this dude does not give a fuck like this guy he will go to he will do anything and i'm sure it's for the content but but like regardless he is probably a lifesaver for this other dude and the what's what has turned into a lego thief a thieving Lego issue has now turned into as molded into how corrupt the the uh american fork police department is

which is a place in Utah because the guy who owns the new shop apparently is like this Mormon guy and all the heads of the police department are all Mormon and they he has like redacted video footage of everything that's happened like like the the cops will be talking to each other. Damn. Yeah, look at that. I tracked down the thief who stole $200,000 of Legos. It has three million views.

Wait. And then I got swatted because of like, dude, I'm telling you, it's the, it, it could be, it could be a Netflix, like, documentary. Yeah. It is so good. And this guy, this dude is a nutcase. Like, in the best kind of way. Yeah.

Like in order, they said, like, the cops were like, well, we can't, we can't prosecute this because this is a civil matter. it's over money. And so this guy was like, well, I got to figure out how to make it a criminal matter. And he was like, what I can't, what, what is, what is, and then he reads all the laws. And one of the, one of the ways to make things a criminal matter is if some, if somebody stole from a lottery. So he found a way, because technically the guy still owns the Legos. So he was like, how about you run a giveaway, a sweepstakes for your Legos?

And then somebody will win it. and now we go to collect the Legos if they don't give it to us now they're interfering with a lottery now it's a criminal case like like he does and so he does shit like dude he does shit like that

and it's dude it is oh man this is why people will just end up like settling and stuff right like there's so many ways to not not manipulate the system but I mean that is a way of manipulating the system but in like a good

for good yeah but so Some people will manipulate it for the other way. And they got, and it's just like they were going down the street one time. Stopped at it. Dude, it's crazy. They stopped at a stop sign, turned right, and then they got pulled over. The cop came up and said, we pulled you over for running that stop sign.

And then the guy was like, I didn't run the stop sign. He was like, yes, you did. What's your name? Is there anything in the car? And then he requested the body cam footage, the dash cam footage. And you legally has to, has to give it to him. and clear his day the guy stops at the stop sign. And they double down and release a,

they have a press release about, like the actual, where it says my response to the police up there, that is a response to an actual press release from the police department where they're like, this all initiated off of a traffic violation where, uh, you know,

a stop sign was run. And people were like, no, he didn't run the stop sign. Like, how do you double down on something that is so obviously in plain sight? Like, it is,

it is, like major, major corruption. So they're like following, they like pulled him over on purpose. On purpose, because they, because the guy who own, their friend stole all the Legos, basically, $200,000 worth of Legos.

And so he made a, he made a business and he was like, no, I work out, and the, the new owners of the Lego shop are like trying to get him arrested for harassment and like stalking. But he always has legitimate paperwork to back everything up. Mm-hmm. They're like, oh, no, he's he's mocking our business and whatever. And he was like, no, I made a business called I steal from old people.

And like, here's my, here's all my legitimate paperwork to the police. And he was like, just because I made a business called I steal from old people, we sell merchandise. And it has nothing to do with these guys. They just happen to steal from old people. Dude, it's fucking, I watched, I watched the whole thing. I watched. We need. I love people like this.

Oh, bro. I love people. I don't go the what's the like we'll go I was going to say the mile for I don't know if that's a a phrase

I love people that will Yeah go the extra mile Go the extra mile That's what I was Holy shit That's what I was looking for But we'll go the extra mile For the betterment of society

Yeah And even though I wonder how much of this Even though it's sort of irrelevant But how much is he doing this because that's his heart and soul calling to fucking planet earth or if he's like it's the best or they're sitting there like we got to make these good ass videos yeah like i'm sure

it's both i'm sure it's both because like i think i get i got a little bit of like the mr beast you know like when mr beast does something really good he always gets roasted for it and he's like i i I, you know, God forbid Mr. Beast like feeds people that are hungry. Oh, people will be like, people be like, this is weird. Why is he doing this? It's like Mr. Beast tries to make the best. A billion dollars later and he feeds a few people, thanks. Like, he's, what's sad is he's only doing this for like better publicity for his next YouTube video.

Right. And it's like, if regardless, I don't believe that. How much were those houses? Like 5K each? I don't believe that Mr. Bees is a bad person and is doing good things in order to correct his, or in order to manipulate people. I don't believe that. But it is, you can tell that regardless of whatever Beasts is doing, he's trying to make the best video possible. Right.

Like, it is YouTubeified to the max. Regardless if it's a. That's Mr. Beast. He is YouTube. That's a good way to put him. He's YouTubeify. It doesn't matter if it's safe. leaving children

curing cancer or stuck with your ex-girlfriend or stuck with your ex-girlfriend on an island you are that is going it's going to be YouTubeified and like I kind of get the same feeling with this guy it's like I know he wants to get the Legos

and I don't I've never met this guy maybe he had a heart of gold but at the end of the day he is making the best video he possibly can like with that or not even the best video it's like the best it's like a it's like a documentary It's like a story.

It's like with the best story. Because now he still wants to win. Because they settled at one point. At one point like they won the, they won a court case. Because the guys didn't show up to court. And so all of his friends were like, we did it. We won.

And then the guy was like, no, we still don't have the Legos. Like we need to get the Legos for this guy. And like that's, I feel like that to me was like, okay, maybe he does. He really cares about getting. this guy his Legos. Like a money settlement? Yeah, they had like a money settlement, but it was for like 10 grand. And he was like, no.

See, I'd be, I'd be wondering like, did the people who bought the shop, you know, they brought the idea to the shop owner and said, you know, we're interested, we'll pay this much. And they sort of set up a deal like, well, I got these Legos in here. They're worth 200 grand. So you give me, give me 250 grand. You can have this whole shop, everything. 200K worth of the Legos,

you're going to make your money back instantly. How this all started is the corporation that came in and took over that asset. They kicked the lady out that owned the store or that was manager of the store. They kicked her out, basically. They have footage of it. The lady that owned the store

called the guy with the Legos and said, hey, I don't know what to do. How did they kick her out? Because they own the store. It's like a McDonald's Corporation came into a McDonald's. It kicked everybody out and took over the McDonald's. It's kind of like that.

And so the lady who did run the store was like, hey, they just kicked me out. And I don't know, you're going to have to talk to them because I told them about the Legos. And they basically said like... No, she wasn't involved at all. No, she wasn't. That's like how it started. So it's like... There's so much corruption.

We need people like that. And it is crazy how much they'll double down. You'll have the intent. entire police department, like, just, like, this is our team. Like, if it was like, like, if someone was going against Optic, like, it doesn't really matter how

wrong we might be in certain somethings. Oh, yeah. They're going to ride for us. We're going to ride for, well, I'm saying us. Oh, yeah, we're riding for each other. We're riding for each other. And we're riding for Optic. Like, well, we would have meetings and be like,

listen, I know we did this, but we don't speak about this. We fucking manipulate it this way. This is our story and we're sticking to it. Yeah. That's how everyone would be. Yeah.

That's just how everyone is. Well, I don't know. Sometimes you kind of, what if your son, what if your child? Well, I don't even want to wish this into existence. Or I'm not wishing it into existence. But what if your child murdered someone? Would you snitch? I mean, it depends.

If it was like he got into it. a fight, poured out a gun, shot him. Like, it was just like a random street fight. Put out of gun,

shot, ran away. I don't know. I don't think I'd snitch. I don't think I would snitch. Unless he, like, if he's just a total fuck up, keeps fucking up.

If he's a danger to society or a danger to me and my family. If you look in his notebook and he has, you look in his school notebook. I'm going to make a few calls. If I look in the notebook. But if something, if something happened

you know those those situations where it's like oh like a brother and his mom buried somebody 40 years ago and they just found the remains and they're trying to figure out I would do that like yeah like you go home I'll deal with this

don't tell anybody this happened I could do that I wonder how hard that'd be to live with like or imagine like being on the run or just like having like having a body in the back yard. Imagine you had a daughter. Somebody assaulted your daughter and she calls you and says,

hey, I don't know what to do. This dude assaulted me. And I saw him later on and killed him. Like, so it's not self-defense. It's not self-defense at that point because she sought him out and killed him. Now what do you do? I would say, I didn't, I didn't hear a word. You just said. I'd be like, And let's... Yeah, let's get... Let's deal with this and then we'll move on. I will do that. We will never speak about this again.

Exactly. Exactly. Still, there are situations where, like, I'm definitely not snitching. I'm definitely going to keep the family close. That would be, pro. It's insane. People actually live those type of lives. Yeah, that happened.

That's like... Not all the time. It happens all the time. It happens all the time. I mean, low key, if you count the whole world, like cartels. and the amount of... Yeah. Dude, there's so many of those

when I was watching those body cam footage like over the last two months, there's so many instances where somebody will get caught 40 years later. Like... Fucking Tupac's murder. Big, uh...

Shirknight. Yo, Matt, can you, uh... Look over and Matt's just not here. They gave up on the five. podcast. It's just us. That's just us. I swear every episode, we will be stepping out.

They actually be opening doors, screaming in here. It's all good, man. Yeah, no, it's all good. It's all good. They got, you know, they got plenty of stuff on their plate. Yes. They expect, it's us. We hold this down.

But anyways, I'm thinking his name's Keefe D. Keyfee D. Some gangster. Basically, sort of outed himself. Big swoot has entered the building. Okay. It's all right, man. You can listen.

Keefe D. I think that was the name. Killed Tupac back in when he died, like 97 or something. Yeah. No one had any word about it. It was kind of just like, it was almost a conspiracy.

Was it cops? Was it some gangster? Like, how did people not see? Is it covered up? Did they want him in Biggie Dead? But then this dude, I guess the streets kind of was like, no, I was like pretty sure it was this guy.

Like the streets kind of knew. Yeah. And then I think just a few years ago, he did a Vlad TV interview. And he was basically like talking about it, detail in the night. And I don't think he like admitted it admitted to it on camera, but he was just saying like,

like his story was like, yeah, I was there when Tupac got killed. Right. And then I think they ended up using that in court. I'm saying all this and I'm hoping I'm not completely. And I'm pretty sure he's locked up now. Because of the Vlad interview? Well, that was just a part of.

It was just like it was played in court. Yeah, that was just played in court. Matt, can you look up Keith, look up, look up who killed Tupac. And I think it'll be, look up who killed Tupac and is he locked up. But yeah, they like finally, and now he's locked up for the murder of Tupac, I'm pretty sure. And that's what, 20? Keefe D. Keefei D.

Later revealed that home belonged to the wife of Keevoo D. Davis was subsequently arrested in connection with Tupac's murder on the morning of 2023. He was held without bail. Look up how long he's locked up for. Yeah, this motherfucker's like, like what? This happened in 97. He was probably like 20-some. He lived 16 to 40 months in prison.

Oh, for the jail height. A sentence for the jailhouse fight conviction with credit. 60 months maximum. Is that for... I don't know what I'm looking at. I mean, I'm pretty sure he got arrested for... It's not showing much time here. Kee-P-D...

Yeah, it's just saying 60 to 40 months. Did Keefe D. kill Tupac? This is all for an extra, like, fight in jail. An inmate fight. But yeah, 20, what would it be? Quick Mass, one to, 30 years later, basically. He got locked up for it. Wow.

If you had to go on the run, if you bodied someone. Right. as the singing gamer yourself. You go out and body someone. Where are you running? What's, where are you running to?

But don't give your number one choice. Because in case it happens. Yeah, because I do body someone. Yeah. Okay. Like a singing gamer? Like a singing gamer.

Okay. Mexico. See, that might be too. What are you doing with your hair? And like, what's your transformation? Because you can't just pull up looking like you why not

someone's gonna be like porque arrest him see does that mean prokee means why why white man that wasn't

that was a cringo porque arrest him I'm pretty sure for okay means why but yeah I think I feel

like you would just maybe not get seen maybe go super south where would you go some ring ding randino place probably not an island i said ireland oh ireland maybe something like that yeah blend in a little bit probably like probably do something weird like shave my head uh maybe get like some weird tattoos oh so you're going that way uh maybe start taking the peptide that makes you super tan. Okay. Is that a thing? What the fuck?

You inject the substance into your stomach and it just makes you tan. Like an orangish tan. Maybe that's what Donnie does. Donnie. Yeah, big man. Big man. Trump. Oh, Trump?

Yeah. Maybe that's why he's orange. Maybe. Might have. I think there's health benefits to it. Fair. Maybe not. That,

wow. That would be, that would be very interesting. Yeah, I don't know where I'd go. Probably not Mexico. Mexico would be easy, though. I was thinking like Cuba.

Cuba would be easier than Mexico. I almost fantasize. I almost fantasize of it happening. Imagine, and the crazy part is, I'm free enough. Like, we'd be forgetting about our free will. We could literally,

I could walk out I wouldn't even tell Hax I would text him on my way home and I'd just be like I'm done I have no more explanation after that Never see him again Never see him again I buy a flight to fucking

Thailand And then I just figure some way Just use all the money I have left Just live in there Get some Brando job And just live in Thailand You could do that I could go anywhere

You could definitely do that I think I think you can go anywhere But North Korea Yeah And even then Fuck it Go there

Exactly Find a way to get there You can live anywhere man You got free will We don't have to be locked up In this matrix We don't have to be Surrounded by electronics

And Or maybe we have it pretty good We have it amazing Does anyone have it better than us Yeah I'm sure There's always There's always Like who

Grass is always greener grass is always green it's like the people who have it better than us are the people that are like like retired and they live on a do they have it good though or are they bored because a lot of people are retired and they get like i'm talking about people that aren't bored and they're retired and they live on the plot of land they always wanted to i don't have like the guy the guy who's retired and goes out and he just takes care of his horses all day and hangs out with his granddaughter and his grandson. Because I remember...

Great grandson. I remember even when I was working my shit job, stocking shelves, then I'd either work out in like the morning or after. Then right after that, come home and I'd scrim for like four or five hours. But I don't remember... Like I'm stocking shelves for like six hours. Like 30 plus hours a week. But I don't remember, like, having a moment, like, in 2017, where I'm like, this is the worst year of my life.

And, like, thinking back in 2017, I'm like, that was not a bad year. Yeah. But it, like, kind of was at the same time. But, like, when I think back to stock and shelves and I do, like, six-hour shifts, gym, come home, scrim. And that was just, like, a fucking repeated cycle. I don't, like, wasn't in my head. Like, I almost felt like I was more at peace then. And maybe it's because I had more stuff that distracted me

because I felt more distracted every day. And I was taking out of him. Um, but yeah, the grass is sort of always greener on the other side. Yeah, but it's not like, I would never see fucking Katie Perry or Taylor Swift and be like,

oh, those guys got it. Yeah. Like, fuck that. I don't want that. I want the, I want the, I want the,

I want the dude. who's just like I want like Sundance Sundance Sundance Giovanni I need his life it's probably hell it's shit or like a Dana White

okay Dana White no because he's very busy okay maybe not very busy he's too popular I don't want someone that's popular who would I trade lives like who's

who's the happiest I'm telling you it all at the end of day it all comes down to peace to peace to to peace and family the end of the day. The kid's gonna save it all, huh?

I guess. You're already feeling more loving? Yeah. Or is it more stress? No, it's not even, I haven't gotten stressed. I haven't gotten stressed like at all. Really? Not stressed about the child, but more like,

like, do you think you're at a point where you're like, all right, I have to like, it's, like, it's grind time? Like, I have to clutch the fuck up right here right now. Yeah, kind of. Kind of. I mean, it's like, I got to figure, I mean, so, dude, so much of my life has changed in six months. Like, my entire life has changed. Like, everything has changed.

And the kids not even here yet. So it's kind of like a, I'm, I don't, I'm waiting for the day at all, like, hits me. But until then, it's just day after, it's like, I'm going to try this next. And luckily, like, things have been going a while. but yeah I mean it's definitely always a thought I'd just be wondering man turning

and I don't want to say it turning 30 boom turn it 35 in it fucking two and a half months

it's fucking sickening uh two years older than Jesus man think about that I guess every year from here it's just a blessing no matter how it goes

it's a great way of looking at it it's a very healthy way of looking at but I'm wondering I'm just like I just fucking live in my own head it's just a constant I'm like not even in reality it's just I'm just in this made up simulation

mentally to where it's just torture at times We can dive deeper into it And uh Around the bar or something Oh okay And I'll start I'll start you know All right

I'll start letting loose I'm down for that I'm super down for that But uh Yeah I don't know man I just I'm thinking like I think number one thing I need to figure out my thing

I guess I love optic I would always I would always like to Come in here Once twice a week three times if they need me pop in, do my stuff. I'm in the community.

So going to some Dallas events, doing our little fun events. Like I'm still in this circle, but then when I go home, it's not just, okay, now stream. It's like some other kind of, and this is where I'm at in my life

to where I, not confused, but I feel like this is, this, next step is going to determine my, I don't want to say happiness, but just like, sort of my, my peace of mind, my fulfillment, my, my purpose. There's a, there's a specific step that is going to be needed to, like, fulfill that purpose.

And I think that will sort of fill the void in my, in my soul a little bit. Maybe it's a kid. Maybe it's a wife. Maybe. I don't know. Just knock it out at 35. I don't even know if my fucking nuts work. Because I don't even use condoms and no one's gotten prey.

Old Navy's drapey denim wide leg. Are you one of those media strategy people clicking through slides, scrolling spreadsheets? Yes? Good. This is for you. Because on Spotify, there's an audience that's different. Locked in. Loyal, invested. They're called fans. Fans don't just listen to music.

They feel seen by it, like it belongs to them. So when your brand shows up on Spotify, that's what you. who you're talking to. And you're right next to artists like me, Lizzo. So, are you ready to talk to fans? Spotify advertising. You're among fans. So, fuck.

Chinese baby, I guess. Adoption. If I adopt a baby, what race should I get? I'm thinking Chinese. No, I think I'm thinking black. I'm thinking a little Latino. No.

Black. Okay. Well, it depends on who my significant... What if I just adopt? It's like another... Just me. It's not even like me and my significant other. That's me and my wife.

Can't have a baby. Adopt a child. You just want a kid, so you adopt. I'm sure that's happened. Can you look up? That would be fucking weird. Can single dads adopt? I'm pretty sure single people can adopt.

Single moms can adopt, for sure. Can single dads adopt? I have the perfect schedule to be at that. I mean, it's got to change, but... Like, imagine I'm just here with my Chinese baby. That's true. It's not harder, but it does require preparation. Agencies focus on your emotional and financial readiness.

A single parent could be there forever home. Yeah, a single man, 32, thinking about adoption, info, or advice. It's a Reddit thread. Damn. He's 32 thinking about adoption? Yeah. I feel like that's pretty. young.

I mean, I got, yeah, I mean, I guess. Yeah, I think I need a, uh,

maybe a black child. Why? I don't know. They just seem pretty cool. I will say, like, we would, like,

we would bond. I feel like you would bond with whatever child you have. It doesn't matter that. Okay. Do you think KSI really left assignment? Yes, yes, I do actually

You do? Yeah, I think I don't know why he would need to leave To do whatever it is Yeah Like he's leaving for what Or does he just not want to be a part of the videos anymore I think he just doesn't want to be part of the videos

But like at that point Because he has a billion dollars for Brian But at that point like He's so ingrained into the sideman That like I think I think something's going on because KSI's favorite team is Arsenal. And Arsenal just lost the Champions League.

And the day after they lost the Champions League, he tweeted that he was leaving the sideman, or the Sideman tweeted that KSI was leaving. And they're trolly. Those guys over there, they troll. I think it's too close. It can't, it doesn't compute. So what he's so sad that he's just leaving sidemen?

He's depressed. He probably made a bet with somebody. like Arsenal's definitely going to win the Champions League if they don't win if you lose you got to say you're leaving side yeah yeah I hate that fucking cringe shit that's what I'm thinking but it could it could be real it could be real but like if KSI were to leave the sideband he wouldn't leave the sideman in my opinion that's what I'm saying he would just not be in the videos right and he would say hey I'm taking a break you guys can have my cut I'm not going to be in the videos for six months right

and reevaluate and come back. That's why, like, leaving the sideman, just wouldn't even make. Right. Like, imagine. Big time or left optic. Like, imagine big time or move. Or just say scump.

Like, imagine scump has his kids. He has his hundreds of millions. Yeah. He's like, you know what? I'm kind of done with streaming. I'm done with watch partying. Like, I'm kind of just going to chill. But he wouldn't just, he wouldn't make a tweet.

I'm leaving optic. He would just be, he would just no longer be showing up in the, Right, and they wouldn't get paid for it anymore. That's what it would be. That's why it's weird to me. It's very strange to me, but... Maybe it is a bet.

I did not think of that at all. Yeah, but... I did see there was a burnt peanut response to Fortnite collab amid backlash because... People are pissed. I mean, rightfully so. Yeah. Peanut's big, but like, people have been grinding on Fortnite, like, for creator shit.

But like, fucking Travis Skins. But, like, fucking Travis Skye. Scott's in the game. Let me see the, is there like, is in the game. Is there, uh,

so what, he's getting a skin or what? People have found, apparently there's, I know nothing about Fortnite. I know nothing. I know nothing about Fortnite. Stop asking me.

I know nothing. I know nothing about Fortnite. I don't, I, stop asking me, buddy. So there's something called a sidekick. I'm looking at me.

In Fortnite, which I had never heard of until Jeff. got his his skin but it's basically like a little buddy that follows you i think and they have like a little peanut plushy with the spinning hat oh and so people oh so it's not like a skin it's not a skin it's like a little sidekick thing and who knows what it is it got leaked but like there are so many things that can get leaked like it could be a pitch from fortnight to peanut or or vice versa. Could be a pitch from

Peanuts, like, business team to Epic that got leaked, but nobody really knows anything, but people are fucking pissed. And I don't, I don't, they're just looking at it, like, how does he I mean, this even touched Fortnite? I don't know. I have no idea. See that, that would be kind of crazy.

But yeah, there are people like Travis Barker and wasn't Kim Kardashian. Yeah, I think Kim Kardashian's in the game. It's like, dude, that, That's what they do. Wait, what's Travis Barker in it? Travis Scott was. Oh, Travis Scott.

Maybe that's how I'm thinking of. But, yeah, I don't know. I keep getting these, you know how, you know how, like, fucking terrible Twitter is now? Remember, you were talking about it? I keep seeing people, quote, retweet things from Peanut, and they're like, I can't believe we're giving this racist, homophobic. There it is. I was waiting on it. I knew his time was coming.

It's only a matter of time. Bro, those quote. Those quote retweets have like 50,000 likes. It's just fucking, and I'm like, I'm a fucking sim of bots. It's just like, I'm like Howard. Like a, what life have you let? Elementary school, middle school, high school.

Fucking dad, mom, divorce. What led you to be on that computer at this day? in seeing that caption about Peanut, who's been nothing but funny. Right. And tries to be himself, and he's blown up, and he's changed his life.

But you're on the side where you hate him, and you see something about whatever the worst thing is possible about Peanut, and like you're liking that. Yeah. Like, it's fucking like, what's the word where you don't,

it's like you don't have, you're not like empathetic. It's like what, what Logan Paul? has what do they have social sociopath they're like sociopaths all these likes they're like sociopaths

like how are you even liking that bro there will be I think I sent I sent you something it was a tweet and I was like bro look at this caption I read it on stream maybe I can pull it up

but there will just be the most ridiculous captions it'll be like Sophie Raine did a Vlad TV interview in the clip the clip will be her just like talking about something like how long you've been doing Oaf I'm doing this and like just some regular ass talk but then the caption above it

Sophie Niphyraine name drops all the dudes she's smashed says she doesn't care and would have gave Diddy a shot if he reached out Like, it'll be a caption like that. And it'll have like 22K likes. And I'm like, who are the people?

What are they actual bots that are just liking it? I don't. Like, are they boosting it to that point? And then, well, the thing is people will be replying in the comments. Like, I always knew she's a whore. And like, like, they don't even, they don't even look at the clip. They don't watch the clip. Like, they just see the insane caption.

It's bad. And I mean, it's bad, it's bad I want to find what I sent to you What I sent to you wasn't like It was like two, it was Kanye talking to two girls And they said, I'm gonna call Jay-Z Because you're, the caption was like You're creeping me out, I'm gonna call Jay-Z

Or something like that When, but then you watch the clip And they're just eating ice cream together It was something like that Oh It was a picture of It's like a, yeah Sophie Rain in Brecky Hill.

I feel gringe. Just saying this shit. Sophie Rain in Brecky Hill. Maniac in 34 years old. Sophie Rain and Brecky Hill. Touched inappropriately by Kanye West. They revealed she is suing him for $2 million. They were hanging out with a fake Kanye West.

Like for a promo that they did an OnlyFans collab. quote Don't touch Don't touch me like that It's disgusting I'm suing you for 10 For 2 million now And I'm telling Jay Z

Like that's the caption And then the actual video Then the video says to them They're just like eating ice cream Dude And that how many How many How many likes does it have?

Oh this only has 1.6K But 1.3 million views dude I'm trying to see some report like someone replied that's crazy what the fuck oh man

dude it's just all it's all someone else responded Jay Z be doing too much bro like what Jay Z wasn't even a part of this dude no I'm telling you

the dead internet theory have you ever heard the dead internet theory the dead internet theory is like there are there are so many it gets to a point where there's so many bots on the internet that it's going to kill the internet because you're not going to be able to tell what is actually we're in the midst of that bro it's i've never seen i've

it's it's true like it's actually true on twitter i you can go down threads of twitter accounts of bots talking to each other like and and and i'll get i'll get three replies d but i'm like holy shit neither of these accounts are real like people they're they're all bots talking to each other location Saudi Arabia yeah then it's like a white girl at

right exactly with her LinkedIn profile pick and I'm like what dude it is it the dead internet theory on on Twitter is is real I keep saying I don't use

Twitter but like I'll open but I say that because I'll just out of like habit I'll just click the app open it and then it's always on my it's always on a for you page and not instead of following it just takes a few scrolls just takes a few scrolls to to just piss me off and see the most insane shit and then i just have to like in 2016 the security firm released a report on bot traffic after examining over 16.7 billion visits to 100,000 randomly selected domains and found that automated programs were responsible for 52% of web traffic.

That was in 2016. I wonder if that what that has to do with though. Like what specifically are these automated programs trafficked in for training content? Wait, hold on. Imperva. Imperva's report

for 2023 found that 49.6% of internet traffic was automated. So I went down. A 2% rise from 2022, which was partly attributed to artificial intelligence models scraping the web for training content. Oh, God.

Dude, this AI shit, man. Oh, God. You just start investing into it. AI generated images on Facebook. Refer to this AI slop. My fucking thumbnails are AI slop at this point. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know, man.

No, dude. Was this the time to be born? I think we got this now for the rest of our lives. We got the tail into the good days. We did. Like up until the good days ended in like 2016. I would say the Xbox 360, whatever it died. The good days was like right before the Xbox one came out.

What was that? 2014. Really? I'd say like 2016 because then we got Drake in the future. Oh, okay. And that in 60-50. New merch dropping soon. 60-50.

Last thing we're talking about. My man Jay-Z went on stage. Iceman part three pod. But it was actually cool that Jay-Z went on stage for the first time in, what, eight years or something? Has she not done like tours or anything? I don't think he's, I haven't seen him rap in a long, long time. I haven't either. I haven't been, look,

Jay-Z to me is like Eminem. Jay-Z's first like couple albums in his whatever, freestyles or features that he was on. Like I loved 90, I think reasonable doubt might have came out in 96. Like 96 to, or maybe it's like 97, 98.

Anyway, I think it was 96. Up until like 2004, JZ. Yeah. Once he's start, I think after Kingdom Come. Is that the name of the album? So you didn't like the black album? What more can I do? What more can I say?

Yeah, let me see. Up until American Gangsters are all right. No, the black album was 2003. Oh, it was. Oh, okay. Well, you said 2002, didn't you? Kingdom Come was 2006. So I would say, like American gangster, I don't think I really, I think that was about when I stopped listening to Jaycee. Then Blueprint 3 came out. Death of Auto Tune.

Then he started doing just records like... Which is an amazing record. It's an amazing record. I mean, this, I ain't gonna lie, this album. Just bangers. Just bangers. This album, hold on. 15 years later, this dude was making bangers.

I mean, that's, this song is... Maybe this album was... This song's amazing. But this is all like Death of Auto Tune. Hold up. Wait, maybe I'm tripping. You are tripping.

You are tripping, young fella. You are tripping. Wait. Dude, wait, this album has bangers. Blueprint 3 came out in 2009. I got a lot of that's good. After that, I'd say,

I would say, he made the throne. Watched the throne. I wasn't, that's when I stopped listening to him. He had this, like, lazy flow, like, like, he wasn't, like, rapping his ass off. He'd just be like, uh, grab the chariot. And, man, uh, and, eh.

Like, he would just have this, like, lazy flow. It was never like, most kings get driven. So when saying that I try to hit the same vein, the Kurt Cobain. Like, it wasn't like. I mean, I get, I get what you're saying. You have played nothing but bangers. You have played nothing but bangers.

You know what I know. I'm not a fan of his like, I get it their hits and they're good. But that's, this is, it's crazy that Watch the Throne is when I stop liking Jay-Z. Yeah, that is crazy. That is crazy. But I understand it's good music, but just for me, I don't know. It's just a fan of the earlier greenery. you're wrapping his ass off stuff.

He did wrap, but... His flow got so, like, slow where he would just like, say a bar, say a bar, say a bar, say a bar, I'm coming home. Beyoncé waiting on me. Coming home. Beyonce waiting.

Got money. I'm still saying, like it was that type of shit all the time. that was his fucking shit-ass flow okay like it was just like a lazy it just seemed lazy to me like it seemed too easy

he went on stage at the roots anyways yeah what was there went on stage at the roots party I don't know the roots had a birthday party I think I don't know but he went on and he performed he did he did a few songs

I actually didn't listen to any it wasn't broadcasted or anything so then he goes on stage and does does like a five minute freestyle which I knew he was going to I knew he was going to say something because he's apparently he's doing Yankee Stadium in like a month

and Jay Z at Yankee Stadium is like that like just a whole show yeah he's doing a whole show at Yankee Stadium and like King and he's the King of New York like so he's you got your publicity it's all fucking calculated man

Jay Z, no one's talked about you in a while. Let me fucking disdrake. But it was actually really good. I think it shows the age of people based off of how they reacted. Because a lot of people said, oh, wow, it's old. If somebody go and get their auntie, she's up there mumbling and fumbling around. Their auntie. Because he had like the hair picked out.

But like what he was saying was really good. a little bit it was really good like really it was the lyrics of what he was saying was really good and he has like a flow he has a flow that compliments like his style should we listen should we listen to it to end the bod i haven't heard oh yeah sure i guess it wouldn't be it wouldn't be copyrighted because it's just a freestyle yeah it's just a freestyle on top of a stage

j z just look up j z the roots it'll be the first sure the first thing that's the rubs. Because I listen to a little bit. I think it was mostly maybe like a TikTok clip or something. Patty's turning a hundred. And she would have transition if I clear my name, I would have hunted them.

Every one of them playing the silly games. That won 800. Ambulance Chaser would a wish one came. But 911 is a joke. Public enemy number one I've been ranked. The rock's not crumbling. The leopard constant. See, like, I think.

Can you pause it? I think people nowadays already tuned out. Did you already tune out? No. But like he's talking about if his grandmother had passed before he was able to clear his name about how he's not a pedophile, then he would have killed everybody that said he was a pedophile because then his, his grandmother would have passed thinking he's a pedoph, like, and, and, and like, also has a, what is it, a fucking, public enemy reference in there that's all like it's slick j z rapping right i like it but i know

i'm not i'm not mad at it i know there's some people okay you can keep playing it it i'm mumbling something about having too much in his drink you know how dumb that is another one fumble his wonder how i get the blame niggins teeth is tumbling out they mouth and somehow i'm the one who done it is a murder mystery gang that was at his like old business partner Like, you just know people in the crowd were like, I don't know what he said. He was a lot, woo. What you will punt is, I'm the one who struck the pain. That hell you can die on.

He does have a war. Yeah, he does. That comes from those pain. I'm killing them softly. What's something that still don't need to be explained. You want in one way. It's the other. Don't need to be explained.

I'm all of you niggas game. I ain't much for me is nohow. Cancel the brunches. I remember the hunger pain. The price of the bricks going up. It's going to cost you a breed. say my name say my name say my name you're trying to get under skin

I really get under skin ass unhound playing he stabbed on yeah like 40 years ago everybody think they're the ones insane you're no maniac watch how saniac in my presence nigga shrink oh

I need a new therapist this shit is not working I'm truly on the brain you're better not encourage you you don't want me to think these thoughts that I think That nut-ass nigger still stuttering. That chatty-patti down on his luck again. West introducing me to Jackball.

I don't know why I still fuck with him. The Kanye bar he had was really crazy. Watch how insane he acts in my presence. That lady back on the stuff. She sounds like she in love with him. Her kid can't even take their kids. Enough of them. A rapper can't beat my eye.

I got magum and tobacco. Those shots came from the very top of the government. Good luck with them. I'm governing by guard. You're trying to break the government. I bring for 40 days. My neck get flooded again. Written again.

My net worth went up again. Damn. Damn. Damn. The jig is up. I'm up 10. Wrong chart champ. You gotta look up again.

Niggas look up the hole. I never looked up to them. Damn. That's the drink. That's the drink rebuttal, yeah. He, he, he, the crackers's got your publishing gays to go talk tough to them. Crackers got your publishing

Niggas is workers In perpetuities how your contract is worded I'll make me go for Man I got a lie man Jay Z is like Listen A lot of people don't even put him in top five

anymore Are you one of them? I don't know I would say I have two different The top fives Like is he one of my favorites I don't know

I don't know He comes and goes for me Because he doesn't put out I feel like the times where he was putting out music we were in like early high school so like since then he's put out he's put out watch the throne and he was definitely that guy until like 50 cent then low wayne see that how do you remember that how do you remember that far back i just he was that guy until 50 said it's oh it's

just funny how you said until 50 in the club came out when we were in the club came out in 2001 we were seven years old 10 yeah damn I was also you remember you remember it did that come out 2001 yes like a long time ago maybe it was just like a few years late i don't know he he i think what he said about niki menage is really crazy she's back on that stuff again they can't even take their kids to enough of them it's he's talking about how like niki menage's baby daddy her husband is like on a sex registry list and she's talking

they're talking crazy about Jay Z and he's like you can't even take your kid yeah it's like he has that little swagged like he does Jay Z has fucking aura he does there's something because it's like you don't know how or what he's doing but he has all of his like masters

and publishing he has I believe some kind of liquor he's a billionaire yeah so it's like whatever he's doing he's doing it right he's he never you know if something gets claimed about him he's not out there arguing it

he just like he has this stoic aura of just like he knows he's the man and he kind of is the man also dude it is it is my opinion and people know my opinion it is in my opinion

that regardless of whoever Drake battles he is the underdog regardless and I don't think Drake Drake's not gonna I don't think they're gonna this isn't gonna be a Drake would destroy him. Imagine a family matters about Jay-Z, but then Jay-Z would come up with-

Brother, bro, if they battled, Jay-Z wouldn't even have to say a word. Yeah. He wouldn't have to say a word. And all the beat, he said, he said the jig is up, I'm up 10, and people were like, oh, it's over.

Jay-Z's the best ever. He didn't even say anything. All he said was, I'm up 10, And people are like, oh, dude, the, the, dude, the way that everyone rooted for Kendrick, it wouldn't. It would be the same. It would be times a thousand. There is zero. The unks would get involved.

There is zero percent chance that anyone would ever, like, like Drake would have to do something unbelievable. But he has done something unbelievable. And they still don't. He's done family matters. And they still did it. It wasn't enough. But it doesn't matter. It wasn't enough.

It doesn't matter because the decision, it's, the decision's already made. It's already made. People have chose their side and the vocal minority. Right. Because realistically, the majority's with Drake. But the vocal minority is going to just 98% of them are going to be involved. Oh, yeah. Just a ride for the guy.

Especially, I think a lot of Drake's, I think a lot of Drake's, like, motivation, came or inspiration came from j z and you can tell that's how he rap they were they rap very similar like on a grand scheme like i think j cole was a big j z fan oh yeah for sure but but jz but j cole raps very technical you can almost hear more m&m and how jay cole raps like he yeah very very technical i think drake as time has gone on like some aura sure you embrace the like swag the like swagged where it's like You don't have to connect too many syllables. Yeah. Whereas Jay Cole went very syllable heavy, especially in the falloff.

And then Kendrick's gone like very like, like a, like a storytelling. Yeah. Type thing. That's how it seems. But I don't know. I just thought it was fun. I thought it was fun. I'm very interested.

I hope the, uh, the, the, the New York Yankees. I hope that is broadcasted like legitimately. That'll be crazy. Because I would love to watch like how Kanye's new sets nowadays where he's on top. of like the world that shit's a lot that shit was nuts what he just broke I think he just broke the record for the the largest concert ever in Turkey is he like still doing it just like he just did it he just did it but she makes for one of those tours like like couple mill I don't know I don't know he's he's not allowed in a lot of places in the in the states

yeah so he's doing like world tours it's like to first time someone's ever had to do a world tour because they're not allowed in the yeah it's crazy it's crazy he's doing a world a world tour though and like a hundred and sixty thousand people are showing up or something like that are you looking it up uh canier turkey tickets sold 5004000 what the fuck like places hold this much i did know rio de janaro has insane artist marco perkins who's that no idea

that's got that's the most it's gotta be like an ed 118000 I mean that's insane 118000 in uh Istanbul

hey man hope Kanye's doing well yeah haven't really been a fan of his latest albums but I'm always down or like all the Nazi stuff or the Nazi stuff or I think some racism

Yeah, I wasn't a fan of that. Probably a few of those. He made graduation, though. But he made graduation. So we forgive you, Kanye. You can do whatever you want because he made graduation. All right, that's going to do it for the flycast, man. I hope we didn't talk to Drake too much.

I think it was like seven minutes. It was only at the end. It was mostly about Jay-Z. All right. That's going to do it for the fly, man. Leave it like, leave a comment, maybe a subscription. Yeah. And we'll see you on the next.

Peace. Peace. Matt Craig played the algebraic.
