MaNiaC's New Addiction | Flycast Ep. 33 by The Flycast

Well, welcome. Welcome back. Welcome back. Episode next one from last time. Yeah. Just one up. Yeah, just one up. Look at the last week's.

And then just add one. Right, right. And then that's this one. That's this one. Welcome back. Welcome back to another podcast episode. A weekly. Flycast.

Flycast. This might be the most weeks we've ever done it in a row. Three? Three? Since the scuff house. Was that a weekly thing? We did it. We did pretty well at the scuff house.

And then we did okay when we first moved here. Like usual. Right. Yeah. Honeymoon stages. Yeah. Can't let that happen this time. No.

No honeymoon this time. Nope. It's going to be every single week. And if we don't, I will give permission to everyone in the comments to talk shit. To you. But I always do that. Not to me.

And then I just don't really care when they do that. But. They talk shit to me anyway. Oh, just regardless. His laugh. He's faking his laugh. He's a fakesster. That's been around for a while.

Yeah, ever since I was in high school. Really? Middle school. Wait, people always said you had like a fake laugh. I don't know if they said I had a fake laugh. People always said I had a, what is it like a? distinct, distinct,

flamboyant. What is it when you laugh and makes other people laugh? Contagious. Yeah, people have said that. But then people that don't laugh a lot are like,

oh my God, he's always high. People that don't laugh. Yeah, people that are just all the time. That's just how I see him. He can't laugh like that. There's no way he laughs that way.

A villager and Minecraft. It's the best game of the world, right? That is good. I've been coming in here pretty, or not here, but the hex quarters early. It's stressful though. Because, no, when you die, it's stressful. And I die every day. I make it a point to die every fucking day.

Do you die? Like, do you play carelessly so that you might die for the content? Kind of, it depends. Like, usually, like, you know how you want to get to level 30. you enchant or whatever um i'll get like i'll die accidentally then i'll have to start all over then once i get towards like level 26 and shit i'll just start like i'm in the nether and then next day i know i'm like hitting out a block from under my feet and just falling like a hundred feet down into lava and then i like barely die and it's so annoying like yesterday i planned on streaming at

like noon or something and I got on and was like trying to think I only had like two or three more levels to level 30 and then I was going to like enchant something and like find something like quest or you know something to do on Minecraft besides grind levels yeah or diamonds and I fucking died before I shut turn my stream I was like yep I'm not streaming today and then I grind it even more yesterday afternoon died again and then I got Yeah, so I died twice Before I ever even started up my stream

Then I started my stream As like guys I died We got to start over I'm just gonna grind levels And like talk to chat or whatever And then I ended up I think I got to like level 30 again

And died again on stream It is How'd you die that time? I think all of my deaths Are from falling Or from the nether In lava That sucks

Because you lose like your stuff Yeah. Like my last death was I had a, like fire invulnerable from like lava or fire or whatever for like eight minutes. And so I drank that. I was in the nether. Just like going ham. Next thing I know is like shit, it runs out in like 30 seconds. So I'm like trying to find my way up. I'm like digging up lava, dig to the right, lava, left lava down lava. So I'm just surrounded by every like there is no. Because I was like kind of just swimming in it. Yeah. And just like fucking around.

And then I just got myself trapped in there. And I lost everything. Damn. But now I, what is it called? I just got to level 30, enchanted a pickax. And if you don't play Minecraft, you have no idea what I'm talking about. But I'll get over this in a second.

So I got the 30 this morning, enchanted a pigax. and I got silk. Silk touch. So now, back at my base, or yeah, somewhere, I have like 25 diamond ores that I was just mining. Yeah. And then I'm going to get the fortune. Look at you, man.

I never would have thought I saw. I never would have thought this day would come. Me either. But what I don't really know what else there is to do. I mean, I'm sure there's like unlimited shit to do. Yeah, there's unlimited things. But like, me and Matt, formal we're both at a point where we're like now because like we'll get all diamonds all enchanted

shit and then we just then we're like now what yeah then we'll like go exploring in the nether and like i'll die or something and it's like have to fucking restart again so have you guys found a fortress yet in the nether matt did and i think that's where he died uh that's the next step did he write down the coordinates no he's not that smart yeah See, I have, when I play, I pull up a note pad up on like a side train and I'm like ready down coordinates and shit. So what you need to do is find that fortress. We'll probably play this week at some point, but we were just talking about all the way over here. Our content is all over the place right now.

So, but I'd like to do the end fight all of us together. That show would be fun. Yeah. That shit would be so funny. It's going to be hilarious. So did that In order to go there You have to go to a fortress

Which I think Damon's already found And Damon is so far Yeah He has grinded I saw that he was playing Valoran today And I was kind of like Thank God

Was he? Yeah That kind of disappoints me Because he was Dude he has He has stuff that like So hard to get Really

Yeah like all that He's got all that netherite Well you have some ancient debris Don't you Duh? The stuff that looks like cinnamon rolls that you find at the nether. The ancient debris. Yeah.

Yeah. He had like, he got like 40 those. Dude. And this, dude, people don't even know, like, because I know Damon doesn't stream all of it. Like, I went down into his base and it is just mined, like, that way, that way. And it's like 30 rows deep of just mining. And I'm like, wait, I was just on yesterday and none of this was he. Yeah.

dude he's just grinding so he is just gone at hand i mean that's that part of minecraft i don't know if you've done that yet that part of minecraft is like very calming like if you're just mining like listening to a podcast or listening to music it's so relaxing like that's what i'm gonna do when i get back i might stream yeah but right now i'm just trying to get back to level 30 dude there's so many things that it's like i don't know how i don't know if like minecraft's just your thing that you like because i don't know a lot of times you don't like watching other people play like you don't like watch youtube and stuff but there's some shit i could show you that minecraft people do in vanilla like in regular

Minecraft they'll blow your mind like i'm waiting i'm trying to wait until you do the dragon until we do the dragon fight for me to start showing you like content and stuff because i don't want to ruin anything but yeah dude it is it's wild man because i told you i don't even want to like i want to go into it because right now i don't know shit about minecraft like i haven't watched anyone. Yeah. So like when I get to that final or like the dragon fight or whatever, like I have no idea what it's going to look like.

Dude, that's going to be so fun. Yeah, that's going to be hilarious. It's just going to be people screaming. I wonder. Dude, if all of us, like that picture we took, if like that was the squad going into the dragon, that would be so funny. That would be hilarious. Dude, I wish we could, I wish we could set up proximity chat because, dude, there is nothing

funnier than proximity chat. Like if, say you're, say you're mining with you and form a winter of the nether or whatever. He mines out a block in front of you and it, and he falls to his death. All you would hear is, oh. Oh, really? It's so funny, dude. Wait, so there is proximity chat? I mean, it's like a mod, so you have to like mess with it a little bit.

That's what we did in the Purge server. Dude, that's so funny. It is hilarious. It's so funny. Oh, my, but nah. It's fucking falling. You just hear them, yeah. that is so good

stuff like that it's so funny I wish we did have that because I'm sick of dude the Discord call we were at it'd be so much easier in the Discord call

because that's the thing with the Discord call there's there there were nine people in there yeah and it's like everyone's like kind of in two's here and two's there

and that's just talking over each other that's why it's kind of hard or that's why we're hesitant to join because we don't it's not just one person pop it's three people and two of us are loud

and then George is there too and he talks sometimes but he usually does like funny stuff without talking like you and him closing the door on each other that shit's great Minecraft's just so fun dude I never I did not expect

for me to like get into it especially like I've gotten into I guess maybe a few things of where like I'll do it just because just the stream or like just to do it on stream and have something to stream that like other people enjoy but like this game i'm like i played more off stream yeah on stream

i feel that but it's also like i know the viewers don't care and my most successful streams have been like just me talking to chat and just doing whatever mining or something um but i don't want to like every time i turn my stream on because i'm always dying i don't want to just like the yep mining again. Dude, after after like the server dies down a little bit, a funny, and like we do the dragon fight, a funny ass stream would, or a funny

ass thing that you should do is try to beat the game and hardcore. That is like one thing that I recommend sickens me just thinking about. I recommend everyone try it on stream at least once. Because beating the dragon and hardcore it hits different. It feels

so good. But dude, like crouching around everywhere when you're mining you're even like crouching you have a water bucket on you like you just have to think like you have to think two steps ahead like always if something happened and i die it's the war dude one of one of the content creators that i watch he got big because he survived in a hardcore world for five years for five years he uploaded youtube he uploaded to his youtube channel his views got like 2,000 to 10,000 views and he streamed to he says to 7 to 10 people and then he died and once he died he made a montage of his world dude is fucking insane he made a montage of his world world and it looks like people

came into creative and like made like masterpieces and stuff but he did it in hardcore and then after he died he started a new series in that series his first the first episode of his new series has like 3 million views. So just because he died in that one world, he just blew the fuck up. God, all that work, all the buildings and crafting. Yeah, he said he took like a week break.

It was like legit mourned. Morned his world. That's just crazy. He probably cried. I would have cried, dude. I had a world for three months and died on it. With the creep that I like had a creeper blow me up. And I was just like, and dude, I was just like,

Oh, you probably felt sick. The next day, I didn't. do anything the next day. Nothing the next day. It's just sad. Oh my God. I was building like a huge ass call of duty house. I was putting grass and like the end and this is like doing crazy shit.

But and I have a hardcore world right now that I'm actually, I haven't played it in a while because we've been doing so many other things. But I actually like got a lot, way more done in this hardcore world than my last one. Yeah. So if I ever died now when I'd be really sad too. But I'll have to bring. I'll have to bring that back. Yeah, I would definitely want to do hardcore, but I still got a lot to do fucking regularly.

Make it pass. What's like the highest level you've been, been at? I don't know. I have a... Like, do people just get super fucking high to where it's just unlimited enchanting if you... Well, it gets to a point where you don't need, levels don't matter anymore because you have everything you need.

Oh, with this silk touch shit, I'm kind of pissed. because I was mining diamonds and I was like, I think I thought to myself, like, I'm going to try to get silk touch with my pickax because I watched a YouTube video and it sort of explained it. I was like, fuck this. I'm just, and then I mine like three or four sets of diamonds, so it's probably like it would have been like 15 ore or something of diamonds.

And right now I have like 23 diamond ores that I'm going to like, Fortune 3 with. Yeah. So I could add so many fucking diamonds. Yeah. But you will get. Yeah. That's what some of like the huge YouTubers,

they mine with like three or four silk touch pickaxes. And then they come back and they build up with all their ores. And then they grab their Fortune 3 and mine it all the way down. So they have like six stacks of diamonds at the end of it. Which has to feel so satisfying. Yeah. Fuck yeah. Dude.

It's so fun. Yeah. I kind of just want to end this and go And go back and just I'm just like yeah It is a lot of fun Yeah that must be Such a good feeling that I want to feel

Oh that's so funny Yeah we have to figure We have to plan that server more I just have to figure out how Because like you were saying With your streams The best ones are the ones where you're alone You're talking to chat

That's our I mean those are our best streams and if we're on the optic server You guys just need to sacrifice like two hours Because that's all I Yeah I'll play three hours max That's what I want to do I want to do like two hours every night

With like the Optic guys Yeah That's what I was I want to start like Either streaming Streaming while they scrim Or like getting on After they get off scrim

Or after they stop scriming So that we can play with with them in the server for a little bit. Yeah. And then, because all I've been doing is getting on pranking Seth and helping Damon and then getting off to stream. Because I play a little bit off stream,

but there's just, it's the content. I mean, that first night was so funny. Yeah. If we could just figure out the Discord thing, I don't know. I can start asking around.

I just don't want to have to be like, hey, you know, Seth, you have to download these six programs in order to run. Proximate. to chat because then he's going to be like, no. Then I'd have to send Matt over there. Well, my schedule or whatever is kind of like 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. sometimes I'll get on earlier and just like talk before.

Because whenever you're playing with a bunch of other people, you just can't. It's so hard to like focus on the game, focus even though it's just Minecraft. Yeah. But like focus on the game, focus on not dying, craft. and fucking muting discord talking in discord talking to chat

reading off subs so it's definitely something to like figure out but yeah I think that should be priority number one we definitely need

to get like I mean the cod guys you're not going to fucking get any consistency out of like they're if they want to play they're going to get on if they don't want to play

you're not going to get them right yeah but I would like to figure or something out to where it's like two hours a night or something. Yeah. A couple, yeah, yeah. That would be good. Because I'm just thinking of that first,

even if we all take a trip to like the fortress and just see who comes back, like in the nether, and then we come back and then we all go to the end together. Apparently, David's already gone to the end. I don't think he's beating the dragon. I don't think he said he was going to wait. Yeah. I think he's going to.

because I'd be like low key like why'd you do that? Imagine me go there, Damon like dies all for it. We're like, fuck. No. Dude, that's so,

there's this guy in the in the purge server who, everybody in the purge server is just like content creators. Like they'll play, they play other games. We got us and cod. I mean, we have Pokemon Go guys. We have people that come from,

I mean, Gary's mod. We have like people that, come from everything and then there's this one dude who's a Minecraft speedrunner in the in the server and so we just all are scared of him his name's pete and then so we all went together and everyone was just chanting pete Pete help Pete help Pete and every time he kills somebody we all go Pete Pete Pete Pete Pete and it's in proximity chat so all you hear is people like Pete Pete Pete Pete that's so funny dude it's hilarious shit shit like that is so funny that's why I was like

dude, I wish you had two people to join the per-to-like, you could be a team in the purge server because I could probably ask the guys. There's just like no one for me to go in the purge server with that would like, that I could count on playing like with me. It's like Matt, he just fucking, he plays, I don't know when he plays. Yeah, he plays. He likes grinding for diamonds. It would be like 2 a.m. or something, you know, like just grind for diamonds.

but like he won't do I don't think he's built anything like he's done nothing but mine I don't think he's built anything he hasn't like built a house chest nothing really he just uses everyone else's shit and then like he just goes and gets the goodies he does no bitch work

he just wants to be rich yeah he just no bitch work it's funny that there's like there's there's people that play differently like that's the thing about it's one game but there's like 90 ways to play it. Like some people just love mining. And some people love building, but hate everything else. So they love building, but they don't want to go get the wood or the or the cobblestone.

Yeah. Me, I love going out and getting shit and then like bringing it back to somebody. Like whenever I play with Alexis or I play with Blake and George, the designer, I go out and I get stuff and I bring it back to her. I bring it back to Blake and George and they just build shit. That's fun. And that is fun to me. Yeah.

Fucking Hax is. Hex is a builder. Hex is a farmer. Hex loves farming. We have died a few times, and it's like, every time we die, he's like, he goes and gets the farming. He goes and goes and the cows and the goats. He loves making his own little, like, like, there's the TST Mountain, then there's, like, the village. And, like, somewhere deep over there inside of a cave is Hex's place.

Really? I think only I know about it, but you like walk in. There's just a ladder going straight down. So you go down the ladder. And then you walk. Then it's just like a little walkway. And then you make it right. And right when you turn, it's just like a bunch of lights.

Dude, he's really good at that shit too. There's like lights behind like a wood fence kind of. So it like looks like a decoration and like, uh, just like plants propped up. I love shit like that. So fucking nerdy. I was like, and he didn't tell anyone about it. So like that's what he's doing when he's like in Discord not saying anything. Like no one's seen hacks.

He's just over there like his own little world. That's so fun. Yeah, I remember he showed me, he showed me his place in like the first server I ever played in. And I was like, dude, this looks like, I was like mind blown by it. It was the first time I ever saw somebody like turned stairs upside down so that it looked like archways and I was like, holy shit. This guy's a mastermind. You know that's the type of like YouTube videos he watches.

I mean, that's, yeah. I started watching them too. Dude, there's some, there's some people that was just like, what the hell, man. It took me long enough on my little, um, have you seen my staircase with like, now I put flames on it? So like, I have a huge staircase and then a mini one leading up to my house. Is this your castle? Yeah.

Yeah, you were showing it to me. Neac Mountain. Hell Neac. I still want to get a little, like, hell outfit to just, like, wear and just, like, stand up there while everyone's on. It's just, like, looking down. It's so fucking nerdy. Right above our houses and stuff. This game definitely brings, like, my nerdy side out.

I think it brings everybody. Because it is so fucking nerdy, but it's so, like, as long as you're playing with people that, like, you know their personalities. It's, like, just funny how their personalities, like, adapt into. the game. Dude, look at this guy's, look at this guy's base. This is the only thing I'm going to show you. Look at that guy's base.

And that's all in vanilla. Like, that's all in like regular Minecraft. Dude. I'm showing him, for those listening or watching, I'm showing him Tune Towers from Tango off of Hermitcraft. That's what I show people when I'm like,

that doesn't even look like Minecraft. Like that looks like a different game. Yeah. And he somehow made all of that with just blocks. Yeah. It's all, like slanty and stuff like slanted and like that's so nerdy that must it takes so long dude and it's it's it's like i think it's a game that i know i will play for the rest of my life like i'll have

i'll have like a little kick where i'm like i feel like hopping on minecraft right now because i there was there was a while where i didn't i didn't play it for a while and then i like randomly it was uh Alexis and i whenever covid hit Alexis and i got back into it because that that's what we would do on like sundays we were just like getting a discord call and and play Minecraft together and then i was like oh my god i forgot how freaking good this game is but it's also a game that you could show like your mom like and she could find a way to have fun in it you know what i mean like if anyone could have fun in it it's it's funny seeing dylan and his girl oh yeah yeah they're kind of like they're they have a house on it in like the middle of the fucking ocean

and like they're just in their own little world over there. Like she she decorated the old house and shit. They're living together in real life. Yeah. Like I'll see, I'll be on and just see like Sammy and Dylan like both join or both get on. But I'll never see them on the map. Yeah.

So I know they're just at their like house or whatever the fuck. Like one time I came. It's so funny. like one time I came back to my base and Dylan was just there like doing the crops and shit I'm just like I don't know why that's funny but like

just like seeing shit like that it's just so funny or like I'll always see Damon just like flying past me like headed somewhere but yeah yeah well yeah not flying I thought you meant flying I was like I need to figure that out one day he's gonna be just be flying around

probably probably That's what I did. I was that nerd in the purge server. As soon as we spawned in, I was like, I'm getting the wings first. Like, that's what I want before anything. Yeah. And then that's what we did.

That's funny. And then we tried to sell them. We sold them for like, I think we sold them for 30 diamond blocks because no one else had one. So I got two of them and I was like, we're going to sell one. And now we sold it for 30 diamond blocks. And then I was like, and then we haven't played since. Wait, what's a diamond block? Is that?

Nine diamonds. And you put it in a. You put it in a crafting table and it makes a diamond block. So you could break that down and get all the diamonds? Yeah, so you just put one diamond block in and you can get nine out of it. Well, if you don't like Minecraft. Yeah, I was trying to think we should probably transition out of Minecraft. But I could legitimately talk about Minecraft forever.

Yeah. Like, I, I, I, do you have like an obsessive personality? where like you get like whenever I get into something and it's like kind of like a double edge sword blessing and a curse type of situation when I get into something I can't stop thinking about it does it does your real world turn into like Minecrafty yes like in real life like shit starts you start thinking about real life in Minecraft ways yes but also it's just it's just how I've always been. I surround myself with whatever I'm obsessed with. Like, currently it's Pokemon. So I play Pokemon Go. I listen to, I listen to a Pokemon trading

card game podcast. I, I watch Pokemon Go and Pokemon card openings on YouTube. That's like, and I usually like fall asleep to that. And then when I get on, when I get on stream, or Like when I get on stream, I'm like in the background and play like Pokemon lofi or like. Dude. It's like, but I do that. It's not just that. I do that with everything that I do. Like Minecraft podcast.

Minecraft lowfi. Dude. I'm dead. That's actually weird. I'm subscribed to a, I mean, a podcast about the office, a podcast about Minecraft, a podcast about, um, uh, battle wrap, a podcast about, uh, battle wrap, a podcast about, uh, uh what Pokemon it is like those those are just and i will listen to harry potter on audiobook it's just like those are my like cycles because i just go through i if i'm like on a star wars kick a star

war's podcast that's like all i that's like and then and then i and then i kind of like get out of it but then when i get out of it i go directly into something else yeah it's it's been like i'm not like that it's been that way since i was like like in high school like i'll occasionally watch them like Minecraft YouTube video. Right, right. I don't listen to that. I wouldn't even want to listen to a Minecraft podcast.

It's like, it's something weird. It's something weird within me. And I don't know what it is, but I like, if I'm into something, I want to learn everything about it. That is kind of weird. It's so weird. It drives me crazy.

Or the Pokemon Lo-Fi is what it's you. But I only do that like on stream. I don't like listen to it casually. It's just what I have playing on stream because we can't. listen to music. Yeah. Like real music. So.

Besides Minecraft, I have had a long last week and a half because of the ice storm and shit. Oh my God. Yeah. Dude. I still don't have water in my apartment. Dude. So how are you,

are you getting water or no? No. Because that's, Jukin and Beattie don't have water either. So they come over to take a shower. Yeah. And then they fill up a guy. gallon jug so they can flush their poop.

That's what they say. And then they go back. I should probably do that. Yeah. I just have a turd floating. You know what I actually tried, though? I bought a gallon of water at the gas station. Thankfully, it's only been like two days because I was scared.

This was going to happen. So I would just like either hold my shit at night. and wait till I get here but fucking like two days ago I took a shit and I was like I hope this fucking flushes it's not flushing so I bought a gallon of water

and like dumped the whole water in the back of it and then went to flush it again and it still wasn't flushing I was like what the fuck like do I just have to wait till the water it turns back on I just don't think I had enough water yeah which is kind of crazy

how much water a toilet uses like it's like I poured it in entire gallon. That wasn't even like, like, I'm going to need like two or three. Really? But yeah. I did not. Luckily, luckily, we have water. So I don't know the struggles. Yeah. So that's one of my struggles. Can't shower. So every day, I come to the hex quarters. I get Josefa. He's probably like, fuck, I shouldn't have.

I shouldn't offer them. He probably thought it'd be like a day or two. But it's just turned into a week and a half. fucking so every day i come to the excorder just have to be like yo shower just like yeah go shower i can't say no dude the ice was so bad driving was so fucking bad one time i i don't know if i told you this but i pulled out of my apartments and then i got to the stop or the red light and then um just made it right like slow as fuck because there was snow and ice on the ground like there's kind of traffic as well. And I just spun out. And I was, I was, I like lost control.

But I was going like two miles per hour, but like my tires are just like spinning or whatever. And I'm just in the middle of the fucking road. Literally like the road's going this way. And I'm slanted in the middle. No one can get past me, no nothing. So I'm just sitting there like, oh my God. The only, the only good thing was I was like, well, at least my apartment's right there. Yeah.

But, like, right when I spent out, this truck fucking pulled up, started, like, honking the torn. I'm just, what the fuck do you want me to do? Yeah, I'm doing this on purpose. But two people got out of the truck, or I was just sitting there like, fuck, what, like, what do I do? This just never happened before. And then, next thing I know here, like, two thumps. And, like, in my rear view, I see two people behind me pushing. Just pushing?

I was like, when I did, neutral? So I fucking push it Put it in neutral And they like push me out And then I like put it in drive And luckily I like Get some traction And I just go

That's crazy I was about to I knew the highways Would be better Because all the side roads Were just complete shit They're terrible yeah But the highway was alright

And then I was like So I need to just make it To the highway somehow And plus I didn't know how to like My car is just so bad for the snow It has a snow mode, but if you are getting caught in the snow and not getting traction, you have to turn off snow mode. And you have to turn off your traction on your tires.

That way, like, you can just floor it and it's, wah, wah, wah, wah. And I didn't know that. I eventually learned that. So it's like in certain moments, I have to like hit off both buttons. What the hell? But luckily that night, I made it to the highway. I was super proud of my Jetta. This is the first time, and probably the only time,

the Jetta will ever see snow. Yeah. And I was just like, I was like, I have no idea if it's good or bad. I swear to God, I had the worst car on the road. I didn't see anyone struggling like this. I saw one car struggling, and it was like a, I think it has to do with like how good your tires are in some situations. Because I saw like an SUV.

I forgot what it was. It was like a suburban or something. And it was just, it was like supposed. to be going straight, but it was just slanted and just, like, just falling. And I was behind it like, oh, God, like, I hope it doesn't just fall off the road. It's

I mean, it's so weird from an outside perspective because everyone's like, like, L.O.L. I live in New York City and it snows five feet. You guys can't handle snow. And I'm like, you you have nothing to do with the fact that you live

in New York City and they're prepared for snow and people in Texas aren't. You don't have anything. It's not like a cocky situation. And when we say prepared, we mean the city is not prepared. Like imagine what was the last time Texas Dallas got snow like that. There's no, I never knew what it was like to not have salt on the roads because I'm from the East Coast. So like, we're used to getting snow everywhere. And you just don't even think about it. But like, there's plow trucks for one. There's salt trucks for two. And it's like that, a lot, alone, not having that, like, you're fucked.

Yeah, you're already fucked. And Texas doesn't have that. Texas doesn't have plow trucks or I didn't see, I saw one plow truck. I saw one, too. And that was towards the end. Yeah, same. Like, as it was like, like, getting softer. Yeah, they don't put any, they didn't put any salt on the ground.

They put sand. So what fell from the sky? That was on our roads. On our highways. On our highways. That's the crazy part. And it stayed. They never touched the side road.

No, no, no, no, no, they just wait. And it's 60 today. Yeah. That's the crazy part. That's like Texas has those bipolar weather. I thought North Carolina was bad, but Texas is crazy. Texas is definitely, it's got to be like top three. It went from six degrees to 60 degrees in three days.

Yeah. I saw it hit zero degrees. Really? Yeah. It was bad. And then a few, what, four days later? Like, that was like four days ago. I'm wearing shorts today.

It's like crazy. Like, there were no Uber's two days. days ago. But that's what, because so wild. If I wasn't living in Texas, I wouldn't like understand it. And as the first snow started hitting, I even tweeted, I was like four inches of snow and Texas looks like an apocalypse. Yeah. But like, I was just like, what are they like? Yeah. Yeah. I was like, is this like COVID all over where like everyone panics and starts like buying out toilet paper? Yes. Yes. That's exactly what happened. That is exactly what happened. It was actually...

Even clothes were all taken. Like, I'm going to Walmart because I guess a bunch of people are stuck in my situation too. Holy shit. But like, I went to Walmart and right now I'm rocking my Walmart fit. But like, every... I got like one pair, two pairs of like sweatpants. Like, and I just had to get the ugliest shit because all largest were taken.

Even though I think I've upgraded to Excel. I was like, the fit's pretty good. well. Would it be downgrading to X-L? Even though I'm going from large to X-L, I feel like it's a downgrade. No, it's all muscle. You're right. But I feel, what's crazy, it's

like, I feel so comfortable wearing, like, bigger clothes. Same. Like clothes that fit now, like, stress me out. Like, I have some rich and lonely. And by that, I mean, all of my rich and lonely hoodies are all larges, and I've had them for a while, so they've all, like, shrunk.

Yeah. And especially I took them to this laundry place. and they shrunk the shit out of everything. Just like super dried it. So all of my hoodies feel, I feel like they, I don't know if they fit like a large and I'm just fatter now or like they shrunk. But like it was so,

it's crazy going from that and like clothes that I like. But they're just smaller on me now to now just wearing like this shit. I'm like, I feel so comfy. Like wearing X-Ls and shit. I went, that's like what I all I wore. I'm not worried about like. stretching down my like like pulling my hoodies out yeah because they're just like tight

right right my tits or like are they like too high on my waist I can't wait to move can't wait to move so that I can start becoming more healthy I'm just like it's a week and a half away and I'm like yeah I'm not gonna start now I was I'm in that same boat except I don't know when I'm moving but right now I'm on day five of the diet but I'm also thinking about cheating today. I don't know if I will or not. Yeah. But I'm in the same boat as far as I'm like,

whenever I get my new apartment, which is what I did with my last apartment, like I'm just going to throw everything away and just start new, have like nothing. Yeah. Because I just want, and my mom told me, don't do that because you don't realize how much you don't have

until you have to get your own apartment. and like start over yeah but i definitely want to just throw everything away and just keep it so simple i'm trying to start over too all i'm all i'm just keeping is like my furniture and i think i'm just getting all new kitchen stuff and just like i don't know we'll figure it out my uh apparently there's there's already TVs in our oh yeah yeah apartments so i'm wondering what the fuck i'm gonna do Because I have like a 60 inch or something. And it's like a nice ass TV, but like I'm going to get a studio. So it's only going to be one bedroom.

One bedroom. Yeah. And the TV's already in there. So I don't know what the fuck I'm going to do with mine. Maybe I could sell it. But I've never sold anything in my life. I don't even know how to sell shit. It's like, what do I like put it on Craigslist and be like, yo, give me a thousand cash.

and you can just come pick it up and it's yours. You sell it on Twitter and sign it? I get something. Sell it with the Juky J. How have your Pokemon stream's been going? Are they over? They're over, but I still have like 12 or like 15 packs left. But one day I came in to like finish it or like finish off my packs.

And the camera like stand and the camera pointing down that I had set up, what the mat set up was gone. So I was like, fuck this. Because using a regular webcam was so annoying. It kept on focusing. Yeah, it's really hard. That's what I used too. So I was using a like Matt set something up for me to use.

And like that was good. But I came in one day and it's just gone. And apparently the way I was doing it was against TOS. Like apparently you can't just have people PayPal you. Like you have the setup. up a third party like a store store yeah yeah the buy packs so i don't even it's not even like worth i might just open all the packs myself and just or something to mad or something or something or something me or you ten dollars a pack seven nine eight nah

No, I'll just give them. So, yeah, I've retired the Pokemon streams. Now it's just strictly Minecraft. Strictly Minecraft until the next thing. You still hate Call Duty? No, I don't hate it. It's fun. I mean, league plays fun.

Say that today, unless you get pissed off tonight. Right. Then you'll hate it. I was really pissed off. You caught me at a bad time last week because I was pissed off. Yeah, because I think the day before you talked about that, I heard you like just talking shit about it. It's just so fucking stupid. It's so boring.

I was like just some shit. Yeah, I was, I was mostly pissed because I didn't like how, like, the ranked system works, which I still don't. But now I'm master, so I don't talk as much shit about it because I'm like, I'm the top rank. So, like, I don't care anymore. That's all that really mattered. I was just pissed at I had done nothing wrong. And I was like, like, people were like, how is Hitch only, how is, how is Hitch only advanced or whatever the fuck I was? don't even remember what I was.

But like you say that. Like how the fuck am I only? And then people are like, because you're bad. Yeah. Because you suck. Have you seen your shots? Because you got carried by Blake and George and Doc. And Doc.

Yeah. But it's 4B4 Call of Duty. And that's what, or it's just competitive cod. That's what does the best on our channel. That's where we get the most viewership and the most subs and the most YouTube views. So we're just going to keep doing that. until the until that trickles off a little bit or until another opportunity comes up.

Fuck. That just reminded me. I was going to vlog today. I, like, didn't start, so I feel like I can't just pick it up midday. Logging's hard, dude. Blogging sucks. Because it's, like, every interaction you get into, it's, like, pull a camera out, and then people are like, like, you know they're thinking it. I hate vlogging.

I like hate it. I really hate it. You're like what, like I like people that are in my stream a lot probably hear me say whatever people are like, what of the vlogs coming back? Never. Like like I miss when you did vlogs and I'm like, oh, you missed when I was broke, don't you? I always say that. That's like what I say every time.

Well, you just reminds me of in the scuff house just grinding my ass off for the vlogs. and then on top of that doing the whole optic channel. It's like people don't, people really don't understand like. Honestly, if I, in editing is fucking annoying too. Yeah. I feel like it's terrible. Like editing your own shit's so annoying. Especially if you're not like an editor.

So like you're just slow. Well, I am. Yeah. Especially now I downloaded Adobe. So I'm like getting used to hitting. like I gotta hit like C then I gotta like bring my mouse down to where I want to cut it

instead of just like on Sony Vegas I just hit S and it cuts it right there. Yeah. There's got to be a shortcut. I don't know. I asked Josefo and he was like yeah no you just get used to it. I'm like from like fucking looking at my keyboard while editing every single clip

but I do want to because something about my life just feels like so much better and more balanced. And like, shit just works out when I'm like, getting a vlog up a week. Like, if I could get a vlog up a week,

shit, what else was it? I don't think it was in Minecraft. I had some idea to have, like, it'd be like three videos a week. The flycast would be one. Flycast vlog and then something else. Flycast vlog. And just have like three videos going up

on my channel per week. Yeah. And like, that's enough right there. That would make me feel good. Yeah, yeah, that is good. And, like, yeah, I just got to figure out vlogging. I want an editor. I want to just be able to record myself and, like, trust an editor to fucking edit right.

Don't be lazy because I notice all these fucking the cuts where, like, the, like, awkward pauses or just, like, you say something and it's like, you bring the camera. And it's like, I'll see just little shit, like, little. half second margins that I want cut it out. And I would cut out. Yeah. But like people, I guess, that don't vlog or that don't have that vlog awareness. Yeah. Like they don't cut that out.

Like I've had someone else edit my videos like three or four times and I've never liked it. Yeah. That's how I've been that way with editors. Because you know when you're talking to someone with your camera, like you can just feel certain. things that you're going to cut out. Yeah. And like just in the conversation, like certain pauses and. Yeah.

Or like certain things that are just like, like the comedic timing is like right there. It's like, you cut right after that. Or if the comedic timing is not in that at all to just like get rid of it. Right. Right. Like I've had moments. I think it was with hex where like he was on camera or like, oh, it was when you were opening like Pokemon packs.

but like editing that part there's just certain parts where it's like and that's not funny yeah so like you just cut it then it's like it's no big deal when you're recording it like whatever but like when you're editing it like you just know there's certain moments and i guess for an editor not being with you at all while you're vlogging it's like they can't really tell that yeah that's like the hardest part is like you know like as you're recording you know how you're going to edit it So, like, trusting an editor to read your mind is never going to end well. Yeah. But hopefully, I just don't even know.

I don't even know how to start getting an editor, how much I'd pay an editor. Because YouTube doesn't make that much money. No, it doesn't. It literally is, like, cut in half, maybe like a fourth of what it used to be. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. That's true. and it's so because like they're the only people that are like getting paid paid from YouTube

are like the big ones yeah because even like you got to average like a hundred thousand of video in order to like start getting unless you unless you make really long videos but we've never been the type to make long videos or if you just really love it then sure you go ahead but right true but in order to get paid enough from YouTube to hire an editor and to have people on a payroll is like it's like very difficult because we hired we hired our editor without being able to pay him

through YouTube so we took it out of our Twitch in order to grow our YouTube and it's still not growing like that like YouTube is so hard it's ridiculous but figured out how long are we in this I have no idea

it doesn't say up there but we can uh has it been I literally can't tell if it's been like 40 minutes or if it's been like an hour and a half I think it's almost an hour oh that's it yeah shit

you got anything else not so much do we have any like hour long podcast do we have any like outro music uh that's that honestly that honestly it should have been

how it is it just so fucking abruptly out of nowhere. Oh, what were you going to say? Do we have any hour-long podcast? Yeah. When we first started, it was like an hour. Oh, really? Yeah, but then we started getting into like two hours.

What the fuck did we even used to talk about? Bro, I don't know. But it was always whatever we were into. We'd go deep into like battle rap and different things like that. I saw, I was looking at some of our thumbnails. There's one where like on a staircase and there's just like smoke in the air. Like I just know we like took someone's vaping. And then like to pose for a picture.

Which is like, there's the dumbest fucking thumbnails. We actually need to get one. We need to remember. Whenever we leave here and go back, we need to get thumbnails. That's always the hardest part because we set ourselves up with that because our first thumbnails are so good. And then we started getting to the point where it's like, fuck. We forgot to take thumbnail pictures. Yeah.

And then we just stopped doing it altogether. I'm trying to think. Yeah, people were fucking the one time. How did we take that picture? We were in the bathroom. And we're like peeking over. Wasn't that a flycast thumbnail? Peaking over.

Remember we were both taking a piss in a urinal and like slightly peeking over each other? Or like I was peaking over yours. I don't remember that one. Well, we had, I don't know if someone. took a, might have been Roger. Roger might have took a picture of us. Really? Yeah.

This was at the, I don't, I don't remember if it was for a vlog. I'm pretty sure it was for a fly cast. It was at the Infinite Building. Yeah, that's how, that's like the only place I could have thought it would be. Yeah. That place is, they tore the whole building down because of it. I'm just kidding. It is a school now, though.

Really? Yeah. it's a college. It's like a branch off. It's a branch off of a college. Even the whole like, whoever, the owners of the building like got rid of it. Sold it to whatever college is around here.

It was like a community college. Because I drove past it the other day and I was like, it's like a haunted house. It is. It's scarier than a haunted house. It's fucking like there's so much bad energy in that place. There is. You can just see it.

I know people that have. glasses there, like, they get spooked? I'm still wondering, whenever I would... I wonder what they would hear. Fucking. You're fired. They're just like, what? Fucking...

It's just like the Halo team. I'm still wondering what, like, whenever you walk in and there's just like 20 employees, I'm still wondering, like, what were they doing? Like what? Maybe there's like 20 employees in Optic and I just don't like ever see them so I don't know.

But like just a lot of stuff when I'm thinking back to that like confuses me. Like how there was like I don't know. There's no. They like tried to literally make it into like they tried to make it into like a corporate like.

Yeah. It was like the whole. point of it. Or not prize. Fucking like, just a corporate job. Yeah. It's just crazy.

There were so many people working on merch. The merch part is the thing I cling on to because they didn't, it's very obvious they didn't care about content. So you can't count that. You can't count that. But merch they really cared about. And they had like four, they had like six people in charge of merch, including the designers. And we have Hex in charge of merch here. And I think that's it.

And then Aaron, Hex and Aaron, like, work together. I think that goes, like, goes the fuck, like, with every business, though. It's like, I think every business has so many jobs that they don't fucking need. But, like, email jobs. Like, there's so many people that are just, like, your job could be. And it's the, like, people attend meetings. And I've maybe been a part of one meeting that. has been like, all right, this was worth a meeting.

That was, meetings are the biggest bullshit. They're horrible. That was the thing that, that was one of the most frustrating parts of that job is that people, I would say, hey, can we talk about this or can we do this? And a lot of the times I would get, oh, yeah, but I'm just super busy today. I can't do it. And part of every single time that I knew who it was, unless it was like somebody who was busy and I knew they were busy.

I would just want to be like, what are you doing? Like, as, but that was like a super douchy thing to think, but I just want to be like, I always want to be like, what is more, what are you doing that's more important

than fixing the content of the used to be biggest brand in e-sports, which is now dying in front of your eyes? What could be more important than that in your job? And it was like people that were in charge of, like socials or they were always in the Slack and they were talking about

dude the Slack I'll never get another Slack I'll never get another Slack I'll never download Slack on my phone ever again I wonder if I still have it for a business venture I'll put it on my computer

but I'll never put it on my phone again that's how bad and apparently the Optic guys now have one that they talk in but I'll never download it ever again yeah and for those who don't know Slack is like a, it's like a, it's like a social, it's like a social media for corporations, basically.

It's just like a fucking communications app. Like, you could just make a group chat and text. Right. It's like, that's not professional. It's like corporate discord with no voice chat, basically. And there's different, there's different, like, you can give each other. Everyone was like, oh, these, like, you, I don't have access to this Slack channel because only the big. people have access and you have to have permission in order to get in there.

And I was just like, dude, it just felt like high school. You can't sit at our table because we get paid more. And how? It's just like so frustrated. Yeah. I put such a, I'm sure there are corporate jobs out there that are fine that people are just like have, they're like, oh, well, eventually I'll get there and my boss is a cool guy or my boss is a cool lady and she treats us well.

And eventually I'll work my way up there. I'm sure that exists. but I have just such a sour taste I taste in my mouth from that whole situation yeah kind of getting like a behind the scenes look and like uh because you I guess like just being a part of

optic when it when there was none of that yeah and then getting all of that but nothing came out of like in fact they got worse once you started having all of that and it was just like wait so like How many corporations are almost like this to where there's so much shit that's not needed? I'll tell you the turning point for me. We did a trivia video where the League of Legends guys did a trivia about Lord of the Rings.

And if you watch it, it is the worst video. And it's not because of the League of Legends guys. It's because of Lord of the Rings. there is nothing entertaining about the Lord of the Rings characters, especially when Romain or Raman knew he was a Lord of the Rings fan, like super fan. So whenever I pulled one dude out from Lord of the Rings, he's like, that's Leggolus.

And that was the content, Legerless. And it was like, there was no like, oh my God, I can't remember SpongeBob's name. Like there was nothing like that. And I'm just sitting there. And I was forced to record that. You don't remember SpongeBob's name. You need help. You're like Spongy.

Sponge Nick. Sponge Jeff. Fuck. Sponge Gary. Fuck. SpongeBob. Oh, Sponge Bob. Dude, I would have had that.

Half a point for Sponge. So, yeah. And I was forced to record that. And as I was recording it, I was like, this is. going to go terribly. And I even told the dude who was above me in the fucking depth chart, I was like, hey, we shouldn't upload this because it's not going to be good. Got to get it up. You're like, well, we have to.

Like, what do you mean? Like, six day content plan, seven day content plan. That's what we're working towards. It's like, okay. So bad. Yeah. So that's when I was like, there are people, there are creatives, and then there are, at least in this line of work. I know there's a lot of people that work corporate that hear us talk about this and they get like upset about it because there's,

but at least in e-sports and I'm sure in like, I'm sure in any type of art form that are corporate, like corporate side and then they're a creative side and they need to be separate. Like they need to be because how many,

how many artists do you think get, I've just been fidgeting with this the whole time. How many artists do you think get a call from their manager? like you need to make a song about Sprite because if we make a song about Sprite, we'll get money from Sprite. And it's like, I don't want to make a fucking song about Sprite.

You know what I mean? Like, there's probably stuff in any sort of like art form or whatever. Yeah. I don't think I don't think I don't think corporate is

bad. I don't even necessarily know what I'm saying. when I say corporate, I'm thinking just like office with cubicles and PCs. Yeah. And it's definitely needed. There is a lot of shit that I don't want to do, don't know how to do, and wouldn't be good at doing. Yeah.

That other people might not mind. Or maybe they didn't get lucky on YouTube or they didn't get lucky to join an org. Yeah. Or, you know. Yeah. So it's definitely needed, but that the infinite days just confuse me. They confuse me, too. But now we have a lot of, now we have a lot of, I couldn't stop fidgeting with it.

Now we have a lot of people out in e-sports that we have a connection with because we're like, hey, remember what we all worked under the same terrible umbrella together? Yeah. There's a bunch of people out there like that. Yeah. Which is really funny. And a lot of them have found really good jobs in e-sports. and probably everyone's happier.

Oh, everyone is happier for sure. Yeah. That was a bad relationship. There's a few people that probably aren't as happy, but most of those people, probably they probably deserved it. You know what I mean? Like, I don't want them to be upset,

but, like, please have jobs and stuff. But there was some people that ran that place to the ground. So, yeah. But God bless them. Yeah. Anything else? I think we're good. I'm trying to think, is there any, do I have any plugs?

We'll talk less about Minecraft next time. Or more about Minecraft. Maybe. Maybe. I don't know where this next week of my life is going to go. I could, I'm probably going to, I might be a full-blown Minecraft streamer. Because I don't see myself choosing anything else anytime soon. Yeah.

I do want some Shining Fates Pokemon cards. Good luck. I'm going to work on getting those. Good luck. All mine got delayed, and I have a lot coming. God. Where'd you get on eBay? I got, no, I got them off of, like, distributors.

What does that even mean? Like card shops that sell online. I need to. Sell me? Yeah, right. Yeah, right. All right. 20 a pack.

Another episode of the flycast down to the top we go. To the moon. To the moon. Wait. Fuck. Oh, my God. I choked it. I choked it.

Fuck. Do we have any? Take me out. Do we have any music out?
