Holy shit. Welcome back to another episode of the Flycast episode. Are we at 90s yet? I think we're almost at 90. I think this might be 89. This is 89? Episode 89. We've been a long time coming.

We've been grinding out here. Consistent as hell. Maybe we should. Let's get a special guest for 100. Scump? What do you mean? Let's do the 10-hour pod. For episode 100.

We should, would you actually be down for something like that? 10 hour pod. We run it and just, and then upload it, 10 hours. Like we started just like this. Started,

we have to. We get breakfast. We get here at 10 a.m. We schedule people to come on and, and, oh, really? You know what I mean?

We just can, we just stay on camera for 10 hours. The rendering would be hell. If we can get, I mean, I might be down regardless, but, you know,

just money's on my mind. these days. We were discussing our Twitter revenue. And if we can get a response for the 10 hour, I might be down. I appreciate all you guys replying to my tweets because, you know, the money's coming in now. Quarter boys are said or want to throw us a bonus or something. We might. Cash here.

We got Twitter rev coming in from here. Well, we got what? 20 bucks coming here. 20 there. We got $100 coming here. I don't even know what to do with it. Besides spending on Drake tickets. Oh yeah or rent.

Drake is performing here. You know what's crazy? I saw, I follow like Dallas TV on Instagram. And I saw they said, Drake's here. And I'd look at the video and it's just his plane flying through the air. And I'm like, dude, who is like who?

Who's got air traffic control? But just who. I don't know Drake's plane. I mean, I guess he does probably have just a plane. He flies from place to place with a pilot. Yeah, he can do whatever. He wraps about it. He rapped about it all the time.

And that's just what you can do when you're at that level. But Drake has landed in Dallas. Where do celebrities stay? Good question. Me and Michelle, we're talking about that. We're like, there's... He's got to be at the W. There's no...

Is he at the W, though? He's got to be at the W. Because I feel like someone had to... Or he stays in the venue. I mean, it makes sense for the fuck. What if he just stays in the venue? They might have like a suite in there. Or do they get like Airbnb?

B's. They don't get Airbnbs. It's just like something 10 minutes out. They book it under someone else's name. It's a big ass place. They have security.

Yeah. It's going to be crazy. I never thought that I would like, obviously Drake's like a top three favorite artists of mine ever, but I never thought I'd see him live. I don't know why. I guess I'm just not like a concert go.

Yeah, I'm not really. Not that I'm, it's not like a against conference. But I'm just not a concert. Like it's, I, the music's better. Right. Not, not live. Until I saw Post Malone.

Then I was like, this motherfucker's good. And now even like knowing, knowing about Drake tonight, it's like, I don't eat. I'm not, not that I'm not excited. I'm more, I'm almost more so excited that just all of us are going and we have like a sweet and everyone's going. And everyone's going to be turning up for once. I'm excited about that. Um, because like, it's going to be fun, but like, I don't know. I think concerts where there's not instruments being played is a lot different from, for me.

I just like, I like watching. Because they're not. I like watching people playing guitar. Rap is not that great. Live. Yeah. Yeah. Like the only, the only time I've been hype was, um, what's the Sheck West song?

Yeah, Shaq West. Yeah, I'm getting a ho. But like, what was it? I got hoos. I was at like Coachella and he performed that and I was like That shit was kind of crazy And that shit was kind of nice

Like or that was fun as fuck being in the crowd I'm sure like if you're in the pit and you're going Yeah that was crazy like But I've even seen Drake Like TikToks and shit of like his show And it's just it doesn't seem I mean I guess I'll judge tonight

Right I'm sure maybe maybe I'm just like overthinking it Because I think in my mind my brain just says oh that's too much of a commitment let's think of any excuse not to go for any show ever yeah uh except for the chili peppers and so i was like all right i mean this this opportunity is not going to come up again we're not going to have an opportunity where we get us sweet tickets to see drakes yeah i've seen i did i think i've told you this i saw drake in 2009

but i think this was before his first official album was out it was only so far gone was out and then his what's the name of his first album show me a good time I am I don't remember the name of the album though it's think me later thank me later I had to pull that shit out

dude isn't it weird out of the brain like you can always just like I can feel you like pulling it out fucking it's so weird oh wait what's the point oh I saw Drake in 2009 before thank me later came out Is that why you won 09 Nats? Maybe. I was just in my, like, I'm going to Drake shows.

You're that guy. I'm winning 09 Nats. But I saw him back then, and this was in Baltimore. And it was a good show. I mean, obviously, he's elevated sense. Was it just him or was it like a Young Money Tour? It was just him. Oh.

Like, he was the main headline. So I've been on my Drake shit for a while. Yeah. What song must you hear tonight? he's not going to play the songs that we must hear. I know. And it's kind of like he's, because it's with like 21 Savage and shit too, right?

It's going to be a lot of like, is it Drake X 21 Savage or it's like 21 Savage is going to appear for a few songs. 21 Savage is there. So like he'll probably play like a few of his songs. And then they'll probably play a lot of their songs together. Yeah, he's not going to play the songs. I really, I mean, I saw. He's not going to play Woothing forever.

He's not going to play. Dude, it's so annoying. He's not going to play Lord. knows. Dude, if he played Lord knows. I would love Lord knows. Lord knows would be the one for me. He's not going to play.

I try with you. There's more life to sleep in and getting high with you. I wish you would play that too. I saw he did play. Look what you've done. It's like 09 in your basement and I'm in low a Navy. I think he walks out to look what you're done. That's all.

That's all. Or is it over my dead body? I don't know. I think it might be over my dead body. Man, I'm not going to be in my zone if he wants. walks out to it yet. I gotta get like warmed up to it. It's like, oh, not in your basin and I'm in love with Navy. I've only seen the, uh, the TikToks of him walking out because he like walks out with

Bronny and, or he like, he walked out with LeBron and Bronny one time. He walked out with Devin Booker one time. Well, I saw he was, I wonder who's going to walk out to, who's going to walk out with tonight? I have, I have a, I have a, I have a, an idea. I think he's going to walk out with Kevin Durant. I knew you were going to say that. Why? Did, I guess I was going to say that But I was like should I even talk about that? Should I even talk about how cool we are? Yeah, he might walk out with Kevin Durant

Imagine he just doesn't Walks out with Luca Because I think he likes walking out with people That are from where he's at I want him to walk out with fucking anyone I just wanted to be him Chubs What I yeah

Like bring Chubbs where it's 40 at I want him to walks out with Hector. Well, I want to know, did you see the clip, right? Did you see the clip where it was like a younger version of himself when he did sing, look what you've done.

It was a younger version of himself in like, in the bed or like on a couch and like wakes up and or some shit. On stage? Yeah, yeah, I saw that. I wonder if that's how he's going to. People thought it was a hologram, but it's not a hologram because he hands him a book.

It's like a lookalike. Yeah. Some fucking look alike. like well the dray concert will be we'll be fucking fun i don't want to drink again to why we canceled the flight i guess earlier than this week because i was just well i went to seths suss had it was the first shit i'm tired of shit always popping up for me because today was the first day i feel pretty good mentally and physically like every time i drink i feel like i drink so much to the point where I'm down bad for like two, three days.

I'm down bad for one day. Then I kind of feel like shit to second and third day, whatever. But I feel like shit always pops up like twice a week. We're getting older, bro. Alexis just had her like third hangover ever. Her sister. And they do hit different. Her sister got engaged.

So she was texting me. She was like, I'm so happy for her. I'm drunk. And then she woke up the next day like, oh my God. I was like, yeah, we're getting older. We can't do that shit anymore. It's fun when people that don't really drink like that finally drink. I feel like everyone in optic is almost like that.

Not like that. Oh, like. But no one just like really drinks or parties and. I might drink tonight. Offseason is going pretty well. So like I'm, I think I can take a night. I might drink tonight. Okay.

And you're going to wake up tomorrow hungover and some you're going to get hit with a bomb of like, dude. Dude. Mango pulled out. Yeah. No. But I swear like, I don't know, I'm just tired of shit just popping up every few days. Like Sunday, we went to Cess.

It was pretty fun. Just football bullshit. And even before going, I was like, I probably just like shouldn't go. Like, I feel pretty good. But you're in that fantasy league, right? No, you're not doing it. Yeah, I don't really care about football. I don't know.

I don't know players these days. I wore a Viking jersey, but it was Randy Moss from like the year 2000. Of course. So like I don't keep up with it these days. I can't believe you're not like a Ravens like. I don't know. I just never was. I grew up and everyone I knew was like a Viking was not a Vikings.

Everyone I knew was like a Redskins fan. Yeah. Either Redskins or like Cowboys for some reason. Same. It's so weird. It's like East Coast. It's like the East Coast. You're either the home team fan or Cowboys or Cowboys or Cowboys and Redskins.

That's how that's how it was. Wait, people like Cowboys and Redskins where you. in North Carolina, yeah. Because it was before, like, the generation before me grew up without the Panthers. The Panthers went around, so they just automatically were Redskins fans

and was the closest team. Because D.C. Yeah, I don't know. I was always, uh... Right? Always in D.C.? Yeah. That's not Washington.

Not that Washington. Uh-uh. The Redskins is in D.C. Yeah. Yeah, okay. Yeah. Dude, I was just making sure. Yeah.

Um, so I, everyone has, Everyone I knew was the Redskins fans or like how I was somehow a Vikings fan just because I think I was just a fan of like Randy Moss and shit. But I always was just someone who like never really watched sports like that. I would kind of just play sports and I was, I don't know, I was just never really fan of anyone. Then I got into gaming. And then once I got into gaming, I just didn't watch anything ever again. And that just consumed my life. That's how I was with Marshall Falk.

I started playing NFL fever 2002 Kurt Warner Marshall Falk Tori Holt Bro every video game That's like the only reason I was Every single video game To get on back then

It didn't matter the video game If you could just hop on a video game It was such a good feeling So a good feeling Do we We did a video Which I have to do with you But

It's like a speed run checklist Where you have to set up A couple things over there like with with those old school tech, old school tech, what the fuck? Dog, when you pull up like an old school like,

like a, like a menu from like an old school Xbox game, it's such a good feeling. Dude. It's such a good feeling. I've been talking to my chat about that because, I mean, I feel like every time I get on stream,

even on a podcast, whatever I talk about just like, man, I don't know what to, I just don't, I'm not just not that interested in video games. and like I've been trying to play Valorant. And I'm just like, I'll just die.

And then I'll just go in a rant of like, remember, dude, I don't, I don't ever, like, I don't ever get the feeling anymore of like being excited to get on. I'm not excited. I'm, I'm not excited to come here and play Valorant. Yeah. Like, I understand it's a blessing that I can do that.

Yeah. but I am getting pissed off every single time I play a video game. One, because I'm bad. Two, I have no focus. Three, and I don't even know. Focus is a massive bar because if I took Adderall, I would be able to sit there for 16 hours and play Valerite. And you would still be bad.

And I would still be bad and I would be fucking raging. But I would be. I would be focused. I would be focused. You'd be able to put your killjoy turret down. Yeah. I would be fucking focused and I would, I don't know if I would enjoy it more.

But there's just, I don't get that feeling anymore. Dude, there was, there was a time when we were doing the Diamond portion, or the VAL portion of the Diamond series where I was probably 40 hours in. And that's when, that's when I am no long, I am now, the worst player in the lobby, every lobby.

Yeah. Because I feel like that now and unrated. Yeah. I mean, it's probably true. And then I'll watch people's POV when I die and I'm like, you're fucking horrible. Oh yeah.

But somehow I can't get kills. Like they're fucking like doing circles. I'm just barely fucking missing their fucking head. I'm barely missing. And they're just awful. But they're eight and five and I'm fucking two and nine. Yeah. Dude, there was literally times like when I was.

at that like 40 hour range, I'm getting schmacked. Every lobby. Dude, when you keep dying and just like you pop out the, and someone just hit you with a, and you're just dead and I just, I do this and just like, dude, there was, there was times during the series I was like physically nauseous because I was so mad all the time.

Bro, I was experiencing that on Halo. Like, I was like, it was literally, I, I kept being like, yo, I got to like, like, go for a walk or something. because like, how am I nauseous from anger and stress? Like, I was so mad. I'm telling you, when I was, I mean, I get that feeling now, but like, when I was playing, it was like a little bit before summer. I think it was when I was doing my 60 day thing, my little workout shit.

And I was starting to play Halo again, but like, I took, I just didn't play for a super long time. I was super rusty and then just like starting to play again. And I'm slowly getting back into it, but like still kind of getting shit on. And there's just every single day I'm coming here. And I'm just like, I'm playing and I'm losing to just dog shit idiots who play every single day. They sit there. They take Adderall to just play like ranked matches for 12 hours a day.

Then they get off. Then the tournament comes up. They play's fucking terrible. But then they keep repeating this cycle. And then I hop on and I play against them. And I'm like just expecting myself to at least be able to like, like, like, like do well and like be one of the better players in the lobby but it's just fucking like I'm just missing the aim feels weird my hands like almost aren't used to just not used to holding a

controller again I'm just like fucking shit up I'm changing dead zones and it it got to a point where every single day I was just mad playing and I was like I like I would just stop go full full face came and be like, I don't think this is good for me. Like, there were so many times where I was about to be like, yo, like, I'll, it'd be two hours in and I'm like, I'm getting off. Like, I'm mad. My day is pretty much ruined. I'm going to be thinking about this for the, I'm going to go home, lay on my couch and think about this for the entire day. And my day is now ruined. I don't feel well. And I have to get the fuck out of here. Oh my God, dude. And I feel like that's what like my gaming experience is becoming.

Just like no matter what game I play, it's just I'm almost getting that feeling all the time. And Valerant fucking just popping out, getting just and then you die, you sit there and watch. And then you're like, all right, I'm going to focus. I'm going to like actually try. Like I'm not, I'm not just going to run. And then you try. And then you still, and then you still just pop out get headshotted. Or it's like you try. You play safe. Your own defense.

So you sit. You actually just sit back. In a corner. I'm going to sit and then just, you hear the bird blind you. And then you're slowed by fucking ice shit. Yep. And then suddenly a fireball just comes and stunts your fucking screen. And you, and then someone just comes around the corner to.

And then you die. and then you just watch again and it's like that is the fucking cycle every single time imagine playing with two people every day and that happens to you and then after the round it's quiet and then Blake or Georgia go so how do they how do they get on the site there and I'm just like dude if you say something to me dude don't talk to me don't don't say a word to me right I don't know. No one's gotten on my bad side. Like,

I'll be, bro, I was three. I think I went three and 22. I think I went three and 22. And I was like, I just, in voice chat,

I just said, guys, I need, I need someone to hype me up right now so I can refocus. And they just like actually like, type me up. They're like,

they're like, I believe, man, you can turn this shit around. And down, I'm just like, shut the fuck up. I'm not turning.

shit around. I'm gonna get... But it's like they... At my most vulnerable moment, they could have just been destroying me verbally and I would have been like... If it was Counterstrike, you would have been installed.

So I've heard. They were a sense of... Because after one of those deaths of like, blinded, fucking... Just nine things. I don't... Yeah, just nine different fucking things. Because I don't even...

I don't know the abilities. I don't know what they're called. I don't know the champions. And just shit's just fucking happening me. And suddenly, like I'm holding my gun I'm stunned I'm blind but I'm fucking ready and then something hits me and my gun just disappears

and I just start floating with my hands and then I die and it's just and like after shit like that I'll be like guys I should probably switch the counterstrike yeah and I think Aaron Gray was in my stream he was like yes yes do it do it but I don't think counter strike

I mean Valerant's not the fucking best thing for my stream it's a game I've never played and people and I just get donned on. So, but it's like, I feel like I needed something different, but besides Halo. I thought about playing Counterstrike just because it's like, what? Smoke, stuns and guns. Smoke, stuns, guns. And that is more.

Your pace. Appealing to me than like learning different shit. Yeah. But I don't think Counterstrike will be too good for my stream. Like, numbers are. already down because of Valerant, which like I don't, it's like my second week back streaming. So it's like I'm not too worried. I'm not like thinking about it like that. But it's like it's good or they're not down too bad, but they're down from just playing

Valorant and like not playing Halo, especially when it's a hot topic's going on right now, which we can talk about. But like I feel like if I can switch the counterstrike, I'm just going to like look over no one in my chat typing it. And then I play a few rounds. over still knowing I'm just so I'm kind of sticking it out with Valor and I'm like

this could because it does feel good when you get kills when you get kills there is a little dopamine spike and I can see why being good

is fun right now that is just not aware oh it's definitely a lot more fun whenever you're not getting fucking

annihilated there were a few games like I started getting the hang of it and I was like I can kind of see it now

but dude that When you're in the, when you're in the trenches and you're in the thick of it all, it's, bro, I bet that, that's,

that's, understanding. I mean, I kind of understood what your perspective was like when you did the challenge on Valorant, trying to get diamond. But I was like, yeah,

I bet that shit was annoying, but like now playing and I'm only playing unrated. Dude, it's, and it's like, it's unrated. So it's like, it's not even organized.

Like, you're, sometimes you can just hide and a team just walk right past you. Yeah. And I'm just like, dude, that is, if I was playing ranked,

especially with like two friends and like, they're pretty good. They're good. And they're good. But like, I'm not. Like, I actually had a,

there's like a few games. I was just getting don't on. I was like three and 13. And I was like, for some reason, I had this like, psychicness telekinetic shit pop up in my head.

It was like, formal's about the type in my chat right now. And it's really gonna piss me off. It didn't happen. But my brain was like, I think, I was just like, and I was like, if I looked over and saw formal, just type in my chat, like, you're so bad or something like that. I would like, I don't know what I would have done. Like, I don't know why that popped in my head. Or if like, if I, if I, cause scumple like type in my chat sometimes.

Yeah, yeah. And it's like they are the only things they ever say are just some shit about like, like you're bad or L-O-L or something like. So if I would have looked over and just like saw something like that, I would have just been so fucking mad because God, dude, it's just even in unrated. It's a it's a hard grind and I don't care enough to like learn to get better, but I want to be better.

That's the thing is like in Val, you've got to go, Val and Counterstrike, you've got to go in a private match and throw nades and at wall. and bounce. People were like stuns off of shit. Like before I got on and just like went and right like before I signed on I was like I actually feel pretty good today. I have a good feeling about today.

Like I worked out, went on a run. I was running in the rain. I knew I was going to come in here, stream, have a productive day, Drake tonight. I was like, today's going to, today's pretty good. I'm feeling good. And then I sign on. People like, you should shoot bots before you get on. I'm like, what the fuck?

and they're just like Yo, try. Practice your aim and fucking, I'm like, I'm not practicing my aim. That's not how you get better, you fucking noob. And then the game starts up and I'm just like, oh and seven. And I'm just, I am, bro, my first,

I think it was a. Oh my God, it's so good. I don't know the map. But first buy, I buy a sheriff. And then I, me and this, me and this other guy just like both walk down mid and we both get into a share of fight and it's just miss miss strafe miss strafe miss straight i i think i shot six or seven bullets and just missing and then died and then i was just like god dude i'm like and every single time it's just it's so

close to their head and like i don't know it's it's just frustrating and people people watch me be like your your crosshair placement's pretty good you just need to practice and you're some to some and Try shooting, practice your strafe and something. I'm just, I don't know. I don't get it. I can't put my crosshair on their head. So that's where I'm at. That's where you're at.

And I don't, to transition, I don't want to go back to Halo. But I'm thinking about it. But I tell you what, after what I saw on Twitter the other day, I'm disgusted. Did you see that Halo was trending? I did see that Halo is for everyone was trending. Halo is for everyone was trending. First off, good to see Halo trending. Good to see.

Good to see. Good to see it actually had eyes on it. Does that actually do anything? No. But if you live under a rock or just living normal life and aren't consumed in online distractions, let me fill you in of what's going on or what happened and why Halo was trending

because it surely wasn't the gameplay it surely wasn't an update it surely wasn't about any pro player there was about someone named Magic Moonshot this is a female caster she was actually on status quo as like a content creator I've seen them do community nights

she's a commentator yeah she's a she's a commentator as well. So she's like a content creator, commentator. Yeah. Just became super involved in the Halo community. I think she was running a female discord. She tweeted out,

I am building out channels in my discord for the ladies' scrims on Saturday. I love and value all people. And as a Christian, I believe God created people in his image as male and female. Genesis 512. Therefore, I will not be allowing trans players to participate. Now, I didn't see it when she first tweeted it out,

but I woke up the next day and woke up to a fucking shit show of people just annihilating her. Yeah. I don't think she had any idea what she was in for. She knew she was going to receive backlash for that. She was trying to be prideful. She's religious. Here's the thing is that as,

a person that does also identify as a Christian and also grew up Southern Christian and conservative Christian is very obvious to me that she tweeted that for that attention, for that response. Because you don't people, at least people that I grew up around that even if they have that belief, that belief in my situation, my, like, family and friends and people that I grew up around, the love for people trumps all of the beliefs. She put her beliefs in the initial tweet. Like, if she would have said, hey, I'm, I'm making a Discord channel. And then somebody would reply and said, for ladies

and somebody replied and said, can blank person play because they're transgender? And then she replied and said, in my, due to my beliefs or whatever, that would have been different to me. Right. It still wouldn't have been right.

Or I wouldn't have, I wouldn't have like agreed with it. But it would have been, it would have made more sense than putting it in the initial tweet. This tweet. That's just insane to me. Was not about her discord. It was not about Halo.

It was not about her discord. She wanted to get this off her chest. It wasn't even really about the Bible, I don't think. I don't think it was about, I think it was about the statement and what she was trying to get across. I think it was more about women, maybe. I think it's more about women than the other three. Why would she want to get that off her chest? Like, is it just, because I've had, I've had nights where, I mean, it has nothing, nothing like this.

but I've had nights where I just like, I want to tweet or like respond and just call like people dumb fucks or like, like I've been in those moods to where I like, I want to tweet something or I want to comment under this stupid fucking video about something. And like I've been in those moods to where it's like, I kind of want to let it out. And I feel like she was in a mood where like she wanted to let it out. You guys get me today.

Has she tweeted sense? No. She wanted to let it out. I wonder if the discord did well. She didn't. Yeah. I think she had. to have just been in some kind of mood because the point of this tweet is to let people know that she's building out channels in her discord for lady scrimms on Saturday. But it's followed up with everything that is going to get zero people to play in lady scrimms on Saturday. Like she had to have known she was killing. I don't know if she did know, but she had to have known that she was killing her discord by saying. ladies by saying

I will not be allowing trans players to play do you really think all the other ladies that are like probably even friends with this trans player who I don't know who it is but do you think the other ladies who are like probably friends with this trans player

are going to be like okay sorry you can't play well we'll play after though like no they're going to be like what the fuck I'm not playing because it's not like it's not like it's a tournament it's practice Yeah, scrimms. Like they can just

They can figure it out their fucking cells Or make a new Discord or they don't need this fucking tournament or whatever. It's just it's literally practice. So I just don't, she had to have known. She was It's just that none of the ladies were going to fuck with that. They were all going to leave the Discord.

Yeah. It's just blatantly obvious to me that that's what the tweet was about. The tweet was not about Halo. It was not about scrims. It was not about being a Christian. the tweet was about hey this is for real women that's that's what it got that that's the point that it that it got across to me yeah which is just like like you've got a you got to know and and it and it opens up and your discord ain't that fucking important you're not true it's a little

fucking discord where ladies will go and find scrims yeah it's not a tournament either it's not yeah you're right i didn't even think about that. It's not a land. It's not a tournament. It's not a, it's not a league. It's, it's a practice. Yeah. It's a chat room for people to figure out ladies to scrim. Like, you could text someone say, hey, do you want to play tonight? Yeah. Like, you're, it's not that important. Like, it's not that important. It's not that important. It's not any times where you would have to even entertain the thought of having to come up with rules or things like that is if it was an official event.

Yeah. Like people talk about shit that's happening in mainstream sports. And like obviously there's got to be some sort of like discourse there to talk about it. But that's because it's an official event. It's not like you go to the YMCA and you're like, oh, that lady's trans. She's not allowed to swim here. She's not allowed to practice. Yeah.

Like that's not. It's just, it's not like you go to a jiu jitsu gym. and because, and they like won't let you box, scrim or practice because you're like a girl or something. Like they just, you just act accordingly. Everyone's invited. Yeah.

Everyone's involved. There are probably, everyone's welcome. 16 year old guys in there. Because it's practice as well. There are 16 year old guys in there boxing and doing Jiu-Jitsu and there's 40 year old women in there. It's just practice.

Yeah. Obviously, you're not going to have the 6th. year old guy fight the 40 year old woman but like in an official event but anyone can practice. I don't know. It's just insane. But when it comes to just being exiling a exiling a trans person from your community just for like practice and fun. Yeah, that's when it's like definitely I guess you could call it like discrimination. And people are going to me. I, I, I responded to it. T-Dogg responded to it and he's like, you know,

a very devote Christian and he said something like, well, you know, actually if you'd check this Bible verse, it says, you know, that the love for people over everything else or whatnot. I just wonder why she like.

And so I responded to that and I was like, you know, this is the best response I've seen from people. Because obviously she was getting annihilated. Fucking brutally destroyed. But like rather than like, I like T-Dog's approach where he was like, actually,

let's, If you want to be a good Christian, this is not the way to do it. This would be the way to do it. And so I, I, I appreciated that. I responded to T dog. So I responded to it. And then now there's people in my mentions that are just like having like, like, trans, like, debates about trans people competing.

And like, for me, like, if it's, it, video games is such a male dominated thing. Like, extremely male dominant. Every e-sport I've ever been to on stage all. males every time. And then so if if you're going to if you're going to open up something to women to give them a place to, you know, to maybe dip their toes into e-sports or to play, you know, to just play more comfortably around a bunch of women, then it should be the women's decision of who gets to play in that, who gets to play in that league.

But if you, I bet you if you ask female Halo players. Like, hey, is, is it cool if this trans girl plays in the halo scrims and league? They're all going to say yes. Yeah. So I think it's, I think it's not really our decision. I think, I think if you're a white man or a man in general, having a fucking super insane opinion about, about a women's league or a women's scrim lobby, like, that's not your decision. Like if if women want to be more inclusive and these these people are women, then it's the women's decision.

Yeah. Which in, I guess to play devil's advocate, that's what the, that's what the girl who started the Discord channel is saying. Like, I'm a woman. So I only want biological women to play. That's what she was saying. But then all of the other. But then all the other women are just like, yeah, what the fuck? Oh, hell not.

she can play in this shit fuck you talking about you in your discord we're getting this over shield motherfucker I just can't I just can't believe

I just can't believe she she had I don't know if she had like I mean she was on SQ she was with LVT who's like a big

I don't know if I'd say partner but LVT is like a secondary halo stream basically with commentators and a whole in a big community backing them

or at least the Halo community. I don't know if it's big, but like they're pretty big in the Halo scene. Everyone knows LVT at this point. Then they, like they, they stream Halo.

They have commentators. Magic was one of those. She was a part of that. Part of SQ, doing like community nights and she would stream and in charge of this Discord. And she was like,

truly did like make a name in Halo for herself. She was a part of, I don't know if she was like sponsored or getting money from these people, but like, I think it was like advanced, Gigi. or something and something else

and just like a few people were tweeting who at first she was associated with and being like hey this this chick tweeted this and they literally the company's respondent say we understand we no longer affiliate ourselves with her

and yeah fuck her and so she like lost everything she lost her entire career because of this I don't know if she was just why I don't know if she was work.

I don't know if she's like kind of a stay at home at stay at home mom and like it just does this stuff like sort of for fun but for like extra money and stuff because she just enjoys the community. But she lost everything for, I mean, career wise. She lost everything for this shit. And it's just like for what? Just so you can speak your opinion about about a trans. woman practicing Halo in your Discord just shut up

even if you do believe that your discord is not important enough for you to lose your entire career over like even if some people probably do have some bad thoughts and there's definitely there's shit I've said off camera that could

would probably get me cancelled but I'm not gonna say in it I'm sure 99% of the time I'm joking. Yeah. Or just saying something fucked up because it's funny. Only if I say it funny at a certain timing. And like everyone,

everyone says fucked up shit with their fucking friends. Everyone does. And like, but I'm not going to tweet that. Even if maybe I think it's slightly true or like, I'm not going to publicly say that because it's just like, why? Just like,

did you not see this coming? I just don't understand how she killed. Could you imagine if somebody in Optic had tweeted something like that? Like what Hector would have... Dude. Like, what Hector would have been like, what? Yeah. Why?

He would have been like, what the... Hector doesn't care what we think. Like, he doesn't care what our opinions are. Bro, talking to Hacks fucking... I mean, every... I'm gonna be honest. Everyone in Optic, like, we're good people. To be honest.

Like, we're not... No one's secret... No one hates... No one hates anyone discriminates. against anyone. Like we're, we're pretty good fucking people. So no one ever says,

like racist or racist. Nothing would, yeah, racist sexist. Like, no, we don't fuck with that. We don't,

we don't have anything against, like trans people or anything. Like, we don't, we're all, we're indulged in our own lives and ourselves. We mostly stay in our own lane. Yeah,

we stay in our own lane. We don't really give a fuck. Yeah. And we're selfishly worried about ourselves and like our lives. And what are we going to build for ourselves? and bettering ourselves. Like, very true.

We're not thinking like fucked up shit or we're not, yeah, we're just, we're not fucked up people at all. Yeah. So if someone, dude, if one of us would have said that or imagine I did it.

And I'm in the, I would have been kicked from optic or like he, I can't. You can't get out of that. I can't be in content anymore. No, yeah. And I'm,

I don't know what. I wouldn't be in content anymore. I would not get paid. center's not fucking with me Corteroy is taking these back They're taking the Well I'm I'm taking Flycast is over with

Yeah well you I'll take the back And the center Flycast is Flycast is over with Damn which is the biggest loss Which is the biggest loss to our company Yeah

To everything So like But it's just like Imagine I did that Yeah And it's like for what What did she even get? What did she gain?

I mean She had what She had like 10 to 20 people respond to be like, I'm glad you stand for something. Right. Yay. Nice. And now what?

In a week when that's... Cool. You took... In a week, where are those people going to be? You still have to deal with these consequences of what you said. You took the fucking... You analyzed one or one to what was like 10 Bible verses. And you applied that.

to your Halo Discord server and now you get a couple like for your career to be over Christians to reply to 10 different 10 Christians saluting you for doing that's like not who will completely forget about you in a week will completely forget it's like it's better

like if you want to think this just I don't know I think I think setting an example as a Christian in a positive light is always the wave rather than preaching what you believe and if you don't believe it you can't do X

can't do Y or this is what's going to happen to you it's like that's not is it like that's not like could you imagine if I was just like if you don't like if you don't wear white shoes you will

break all you'll break both your legs rather than saying like damn those white shoes look good on you you know what I mean like it's so that's I know that's a fucking horrible example, but that's kind of the same.

That's kind of the same thing. It's like you're just going about it so wrong. What do you think she didn't? Do you think she doesn't? Do you think she thinks trans people are like vile? And it's just like that's totally against God and everything he's about. Probably. Or do you think it was,

or do you think it was like, tweet that? She doesn't care what you do, but she thinks it's, It's unfair for a guy to identify as a female. That would have made more sense. Not just to play in the league, but like, I don't, I'm not sure what she's actually against.

Like, is it, does she think the guy, a guy has a competitive advantage over a female? So she does. See, the thing is, that's not fair to the females. If she would have said that, I bet you it would have been a different, I mean, it still would have been massively negative. And I still wouldn't have. really agreed with it, but like, that's not what she said. Yeah, that's not what she said.

She said anything about, she didn't say anything about competitive advantage. She didn't say anything about the game. She didn't say anything about her server. All she said is Bible verse trans people can't play. That's all she said. So it's like, I wonder why. That just comes from a place of like, is she against gaze? I am better. I am better than you.

Like that's, that's, which is like super fucked up in my opinion. because it's not why man why some people and the thing is I bet you there's going to be and the thing is I bet you there's going to be a ton of people

especially in the last couple of flycasts I don't know what's been going on but people have been you know there's waves people have been turning on us a little bit people are going to be like oh my God what did we talk about last time

to get turned on Dylan Dennis and Logan Paul it's just like so I bet you there's going to be a bunch of people that's like oh my God now the liberals have hey even if you don't They've gotten into optic now.

We did an offseason shoot. So like we're to announce the the off season. So it's like very pop punkist. So we like did like our eyeliner and like did like swoopy and and painted our nails black. And Blake didn't have a chance to take his black nail polish off before he did the trivia video. So he had black nails in the trivia video. And I saw, dog, the comments on it are just like now the the gaze are infiltrating optic. it's like the oh my god they're getting soft too it's such a vocal minority though that like even it's just a vocal minority even if people are like super disagreeing and i think it's healthy to have a conversation about whatever but it's like sometimes there's just going to be a vocal minority whether they agree or not i mean i'm sure when this comes out i wish you well a bunch of people that are like the fucking the liberal soft

softy snowflake maniac druggy addict druggy alcoholic loser moutre of course he's of course he's the guy that loves the fucking

he hates women he's like but I just don't understand how you could just take what that lady or woman said and think that it was a good idea I feel like I don't know the Bible well enough

or even enough about Christianity to speak on it. But there are, but since I'm an idiot, I will. But there are Christians who like, they are like die hard. Yeah. Radical Christians who,

I guess take it work, take it literal and everything said means what it means. But I don't even know what was said. I don't know what means what it means. But it's like,

I just know, I just know the old school Christians. They're not, if their son is gay and gets, wants them to be at his gay wedding, they're just like, honey, I love you,

but like I just can't. Like, I literally can't. That's fucking insane. Like, I'll literally, I'll go to hell. It's against God who that is,

I am most devoted to. Yeah. And it's like, there are people. You said it best, like, when, another flight.

where you're like, I don't understand how you could even believe that. Like, if you genuinely believe that your gay son is going to go to hell for eternity. Wouldn't you be freaking out? Wouldn't you be freaking the fuck out your entire life? Yeah. You wouldn't be like, I just disown them. Like, how would you find any peace? Like, you would have to be like, like, if you genuinely believe it.

I ask that in rehab. Yeah. Because I think the, the issue is not like, oh, I believe they're going to go to hell. and so, you know, that's whatever. The issue is not in how you view your son. It's how you view the belief. And if you genuinely believe that for the rest of eternity, they will live, they will die or they will die and they will live in hell,

eternal damnation because they like the same sex, you would not be able to function on this world. I said that, it's not possible. I said that in rehab and one of the dudes response, responses was because like we would always not that I'm like

not a believer like that's some fucking crazy miracle energetic miracle is going on in this world and I don't know what the fuck it is but like

something crazy is going on but I said I said that to a guy in rehab and his response was like I was like I was like

why wouldn't you be freaking out like trying to convince them be like, dude, like, you have to

listen to me. You will burn and hell. Like, you'd be losing your mind. And he was like, well,

that would, the only, he was like the only thing, he was like, that wouldn't be genuine. I can't, like, I can't scare him

into believing in God because he really wouldn't be believing in God. He would just be, like it wouldn't be, not like, fakingly believing in God, but he

was just like it's like he was like it's pretty much not up to me like he has to find it for himself it it wouldn't it wouldn't it wouldn't be him truly believing if i had to scare him into like believe and i and i i do agree with that like regardless he has to find it as well i have to i don't agree with god helps me find peace with that yeah yeah see i don't i don't agree with that as far as the like the the the if you're gay you're going to hell but like if you if you if If you're like an atheist and you're, if I, if like, if I'm close with a lot of atheists and like, part of me is always thinking like, you know, I hope one day they find something. Like that's kind of what I, that's kind of how I think.

But it's never like, but it's not my son. And I, you know what I mean? Like if it was my son and I genuinely believed at a hundred million percent that this is, if they do this, this is going to happen. I don't think it. It will never happen because that belief is not, I cannot be 100% positive. Like, without a doubt that if my son's gay, he's going to hell. It can't.

I think the, I think the, at least in my religion, the Bible is open to interpretation to an extent. And I have to believe that because a lot of stuff has happened in my life where like, if people take it very literal. Whatever is convenient for the Christians they use, right? that's i think it's whatever's convenient i think it works i think it works i think it works i think it works i think it works both ways because like yeah you can't take you can't i'll use god when it's convenient you can't take the bible 100% literal i i i i i don't think you can and a lot of people say you can a lot of people argue with me about that but like the bible has been retranslated three times before it even hit english like it or it before it even like hit an official

like product or an official book. Like it was re-translated so many damn times and it's been retranslated thousands of times since then. And I don't know what the fuck they're talking about in it anyway. So like who knows what the actual story was. If the genesis that she's talking about, I know this is weird. I usually don't talk about the Bible as much. But like the Bible version she's talking about.

If the general story of that is, you know, God created man and woman to love each other and to repopulate and whatever. Who knows if like that's what that. Who knows if the interpretation of that was supposed to be because I made man and woman, then that means man and man can never be together. And if they are, they'll go to hell forever. It's like, what if that's not what he was saying at all? What if it was like, I created the world. And in order to populate the world, we made man and women. It's not like they're doing it to rebel.

They genuinely just like like dudes or like girls. I've met tons of, you know, homosexual Christians and a ton of and, you know, a couple, you know, transgender Christians. And it's like, so what happens then? They just like, it's like they pick and choose what's convenient. It's because it's like being getting. against God, but God creates all man and female. So like, why did God let, why did God create a gay guy? The motherfucker ain't lying.

He loves dudes. Yeah. Like, is that Dave Chappelle bit or it's like, well, I know, I know trans people aren't, are serious because they cut their own dicks off. Damn. Like these motherfuckers truly believe. Right. you're not going to you're not going to take growth hormones to grow breasts and then cut your penis off because you're rebelling that doesn't happen yeah i'm at a place

there to be fair i think there's a lot of there is a lot of i'm a chronic fence sitter which people have always told me it's like obnoxious about myself but like there's a lot of stuff on there's a lot of opinions i have on both sides that would get me flamed on both sides. So I'm sure there's a lot of people out there that are just like, you fucking snowflake. Yeah, I really, I really don't have an opinion on like, I definitely want to call myself a Christian, but I would not say I'm an atheist. I, like, I wish I could grab the camera and, like, pan it to outside and just be like, I don't know what's going on.

I don't understand sleep and dreams. I don't understand consciousness. this. I don't understand how there's a solar system, a universe, how the sun is millions times bigger than our earth.

Fucking all this energetic finds aliens, which I don't know if that's true. But it's like, I don't know what's going on. But there is something, I feel like at times I can, I do tap

into some kind of like, some spiritual shit and like I don't know how to explain it besides like a spiritual something going on and it's like yeah that could be the molecules in your brain but like how is there a human how is how we are simply the we are the we are the universe looking at itself right like imagine you grew a tree and then that tree popped up and then a leaf sprouted out of the tree and then that leaf just went, what the fuck? And then just like started looking around and it's just like, what the fuck tree is this?

They're like, what has happened? Like that has happened to us but just on a absolutely more massive scale and we are just literally just universe pebbles that somehow spawned up became conscious and I don't understand

what's going on. But it's like, I wouldn't say I believe there's a God that's like somewhere up there chilling. And he like,

here's all, knows all. But it's more so like the universe can hear. Like me being part of the universe, my thoughts

can like change my energy. And that energy can, and change the reality of the universe. So it's almost like, like, dude, I don't know how to explain it. I'm not intelligent enough to fucking break this down and explain it. But the people,

the people get my point of like where I'm at with it. I think we all know where you're out with it. It's just, I don't know what's going on. But like at bad times, I do pray. And it's like, I don't specifically, it's almost just like believing you're going to, have a good day and you keep telling yourself you're gonna have a good day

and your affirmations are about positivity having a good day and just like you tend to have a good fucking day. It's almost like you make your own reality. And at bad times I feel like I can pray and like make my bad reality somehow better in the future by like bringing these things into my thoughts

and like putting them out there in the universe. I don't fucking know that's about where I'm at with it. And I'm sure magic moonshot agrees. I'm sure she does. Or she does not. She thinks I'm a fucking idiot. I hope she can grow from this. Yeah,

we'll fucking see. Yeah, we'll see. I mean, I don't think there's going to be a place to grow. I never really like seeing somebody. I think she believes what she believes. And I said this to my stream.

I ampet. I truly empathize with people. I was saying this yesterday. I was like, I don't want to see her career destroyed, but it's fucking destroyed. Yeah. Like even before she started losing shit before SQ tweeted out before LVT,

I was like, I don't want to see her career destroyed, but it's fucking done. And what did she lose it for? I was like, I don't know if she's sitting there proud and like proud of herself. Like the world's against me, but I stood up for you, God.

Or like something like that. That's probably what she's telling herself. The whole world's against me, but I'm still holding the cross on my shoulders for you, God. Like she probably does tell herself that. but then I wonder it's like is she just like she's just depressed right now and like crying herself to sleep and crying all day and just feels like shit yeah

like I don't wish that feeling on anyone but fuck she um it's unfortunate to see I feel empathetic for I do but also but I get it yeah like like come on yeah you're it's pretty fucked up not including someone in your lady scrims

because they're a trans woman. Because they're a trans woman. All right. That's, we'll see how this one. We'll see all the comments of this one are. There might be a vocal minority, but hey,

whether it's a good comment, a bad comments. Thanks for comment. Thanks for, you know what? Let us know how you guys. I want to hear it. Drop a like.
