Welcome back to another episode of the Flycast episode. I'm going to guess 98. We got Meathead looking it up right now. I haven't even looked at the camera yet. I literally didn't know we were recorded. I'm not in character yet. Did you get in character? Okay, hold on, hold on.

Welcome back to it. What are you doing? You got a tournament today. Yeah, yeah. Is this what you're doing? tournament today. So, you know, people always bail an hour before and I have to find subs. Is that what's happening right now? Yeah. Who bailed? Let's call him out. Right here, right now, live on the flycast. Iceman Isaac bailed because he has a newborn baby and he's a new father

and wants to be with his wife and baby. What a loser. It's honestly pathetic. The excuses people come up with these days. What a loser, right guys? Nade shot baby. Iceman Isaac baby. Too many babies. Maniac? Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe.

You get married or baby first? Which one? I just don't care about. Either? Yeah. No. I want a kid for sure. Also, remind me to spit this Zen out before I get lightheaded start puking on the black guys.

Yes, I'm addicted. Yes, I'm a fucking addict. You caught me. What is a Zen? It's just nicotine. People say that. I've heard that. does that mean?

Is it chewing tobacco? It's not tobacco. It's just nicotine. Somehow, some way. Yeah. Well, no, I think tobacco is the bad part. The nicotine is the drug aspect of it. Hey, Siri.

Are Zin's bad for you? They have to be bad for you. But apparently, it not having tobacco is a little better for you. It's like chewing tobacco, but with just the nicotine. but there's also the way it's chemically fucking made who fucking knows but let's stay on topic so it's another it's another drug

that hasn't been FDA approved that's out on the market everything's a fucking drug it's another USB stick blue stick better than cigarettes vaping's insane if you think about it

it's crazy it's literally like I I smell electro electroed fucking pulses igniting a flame of liquid into that's how you're getting it I smoke hooko like once a year

as like a little like hookah's not hookah's really bad oh hookah's like 300 packs well I just think it would be not as bad as vape no vaping is crazy

I can't believe you guys do that I can't believe it's legal I mean but we also don't know the effects until yeah something something bad is gonna happen and also the

feel like if if vaping was like clean every time which i'm sure a lot of people have a clean vape but every time i've vaped which has been like eight times i'll like hit it and it'll like i'll like have a good have a good little like release and i'm like oh shit and then i hit it again and then like the juice hits my tongue i don't really mind that oh god it's the worst feeling i just don't understand how literally i've had this in in five minutes i'm about to spit out and it's because I don't what's the positive effect

I don't know I don't know if there is I think there's like a 30 second like oh the Zen hit I don't even know how to explain it 98% of the time I feel worse after I'd

use them but then like 45 minutes will pass I'll be getting shit on in war zone chat Papa Zen chug my coffee and then I'll try to that's my like

it might be a placebo effect to get locked is it like minty? Yeah it's like a Spear they have like Spearmint winter green so it doesn't taste bad but I truly don't know

the positives of it like I with nicotine and caffeine for some reason they hit me so hard I've never been much of a caffeine person like I can like sip on it like if I was in a tournament

I would take my hat Addie take my Zans and then I sip that then I sip take a couple hundred milligrams of Adderall couple bars of X and then I sip the coffee then I sip a coffee Yeah And that that that's those sips

That's For some reason they tasted amazing It puts me into the zone Like that finally gets me focused Yeah I don't know why I could Nicotine and caffeine have always been I'm so sensitive to it and I don't know why.

And I feel like you've always been a heavy caffeine drinker. But like other- alcohol, no, my caffeine intake is insane. Certain pills, alcohol, certain,

I don't even drink that much. But like, even when I drink, like, I didn't drink for a few months and then we had that New Year's party. Yeah. I probably took six shots before I got there. And then when I got there,

probably took another eight. And I still didn't get that like buzz I was chasing. Like, I wanted to just be loose, a little slurring word. Like that good drunk feeling. I was like chasing that and I never got it. So like I just don't understand how it works how other things.

I feel like I can do so much of. But if I put a zen in for five minutes, I'm like shaking. Like even now I feel it a little bit. Like cigar, like have you ever smoked a cigar? Yeah, that shit hits me too. Cigar Shaky. Vapes fucking destroyed me too. Dude, cigar shaky is the worst.

Bro, I am a trash one time smoking a cigar. When I first got out of rehab, I would like, I just wanted something. So I picked up, start smoking like black or miles. I picked up some cigars. I was smoking a cigar on the drive from where I used to live in Addison, like down to Frisco for a content day or something. It's like a 20-minute drive. So I light up a cigar. And I think I'm just so used to inhaling.

I know not to inhale, but this was like a good cigar. I'm like puffing it regular. and then like one time Stoge or like a little like a fat cigar like a real A real cigar And I'm like hitting it like you should Drive in

And then I hit it And I just like accidentally Just like just like inhale a little And I And I And it was the worst cough I've ever had And I was driving I was fucking like

I wasn't actually swerving But literally like I was like blind Because I was coughing so hard my eyes started watering i was fucking losing my mind it was like in it was actually scary in college we used to inhale black and miles i kind of did after rehab people when i was when i was in rehab fucking motherfuckers were inhaling that shit yeah that's crazy black and mouths are a little different cigars are insane cigars you can't inhale you can't inhale or it just fucks you up and i don't know the science behind it but cigars did me fucking i don't i don't know i'm like too i don't know how people

smoke cigars. I want to inhale. I used to get like the big cigars, like the big ones in college. And then one time I was smoking it. Just to feel cool. Yeah, yeah. Because like everybody else was smoking weed

and I was too scared to smoke weed. Yeah. So I would just smoke like the big, the first I got introduced to Black Miles and so I was smoked to Black and Miles. And plus it was legal. I think that's why, because I was like not much of a...

Yeah. I was kind of like a... I'm going to follow. the law type person. Man of Jesus. Yeah, exactly. That's why I got black and milds. Yeah.

What are they called? I'm sure they smoked shit back then. Yeah, I'm sure. But, uh, yeah, I was, uh, so, so I, I started smoking black and miles and I was like, I like this. Like, maybe I should start smoking, like real cigars. And I smoked a cigar one time. You like the feeling of it?

Yeah. I think I just liked the buzz. It wasn't like a butt. I just liked the taste. Yeah. and like the fact that some smoke was coming out of my mouth. Because that was the cool shit. When you're a freshman in college and you've been sheltered your whole life,

not like bad sheltered, but sheltered. Yeah. When was the first time you smoked weed? At the 60. At 650. Yeah. What was it? With Bose and Seth's X.

It was the most random. And I don't know if that's what you want to, who you want to smoke with for your first. Nightmare Blunt rotation. Was it a blunt? Because I remember we had like a volcano. It was like a bag that filled up. No, it wasn't that. What the fuck?

No. No. We had that. Was it a good buzz or a good high? Yeah. I remember going to McDonald's and I was so self-conscious because like I wanted to obviously join Optic and be a part of that. And it was before Nola.

It was like the, it was. It was like the five days that I was there randomly. You were so willing. You were like, whatever they're into, I'm into it. I'll do whatever. So they were like, you don't want to smoke? And I was like, yes. That's what we do here in Optic.

That's what I'll do. So I'm in, so then I'm in the back seat. I forget who's even in the car. I think Bose is driving. Oh. Maybe you're there too. I don't know. But I'm in the back seat.

I'm in the back seat and I laughed. I think I was laughing. the entire time. Like the entire and I was laughing and in my brain I was like dude if you keep laughing

like they're gonna think you're weird and it made me laugh more. That's so funny. At least you didn't like freak out. Stop laughing. Stop laughing. Like they're they don't know you like that. Like stop laughing.

Like I kept telling my thing. No. Wait, are you in the backseat? Laughing by myself. Laughing by myself. No one really knows you. No one knows me.

I mean, at least you didn't like freak out. Dude, if I would, yeah, that would have been way worse. Yeah. But I remember going back and trying to edit. And I was like, dude, I can't edit at all. And then you get like the munchies for the first time. Yeah, and I remember, and I kept thinking about people in high school being like, dude, I love like smoking and then driving or like smoking and then like, like making music or smoking and doing whatever. Smoking and doing.

And I was sitting there like high looking at my computer screen and that's all I could think about were all those stories from high school. And I was like, how do people do anything? Like it was worse than being drunk. Well, you also, as far as like focus. For your first time, you also had really good weed, I'm sure. My first time was like, I mean, we caught it Hagerstown Brown. But that I swear to God, that was the best weed. I don't know if I've, I feel like I've talked about Hagerstown Brown before.

maybe on the flycast, maybe on stream or something. But it was my, once I got, once I graduated from that and started smoking the shit that they were smoking, like that's when it started, I started like freaking out a little bit. Like good stuff? Yeah.

Like I went to Chicago for, for the Land Network land. And that's when I first, I think, smoked actual real good weed. And it just freaked me to fuck out. And then from there, it just, It got, every time I smoked, I would semi freak out and then I quit.

But I remember when I first started smoking. It was the best, man. There was no feeling, like, it was so, not like blissful, but it was just so nice of every time I smoked, it just felt good. Like, every shit was funny. I wonder how many people smoke weed. What are how many people smoke weed and listen to the flycast? someone's high as fuck right now

they're just probably driving and doing stuff like they're just listening to us like yeah I remember dude the fuck I just I miss what it used to do to me now nowadays I have to

make sure I'm in like a good headspace to enjoy it yeah but when I first started man I remember getting high for the first time I was in like the passenger seat to my friend's car and he was playing gorillas though I'm lost on the row

and it was just it sounded so cool I felt like I could hear everything I went home and I would like I heard about like people doing playing video games high and shit I just started like trying shit playing halo high beating off high

like just like experimenting everything high playing halo high and beating off at the same time dude yeah like going to going to work high

get on my lunch break, get off high. And now, fuck, no, I couldn't do any of that. I don't understand. And I had anxiety back then, but it was like, like, I remember going to a party and feeling like uncomfortable. And, like, I didn't really drink like that. I think it was like 16, 17. And these were, like, probably like 18, 19, 20 year olds.

And everyone's drinking. I really wasn't, like, comfortable. I was nervous, social anxiety. And I smoked to, like, chill out. but like now that could never happen if i was like in an unfamiliar place and smoke you'd freak out yeah i would just freak you like the optic party wait what optic party wait did i freak out you and wait what optic party we spent like two months planning a party in l.a an optic party and you guys you guys were there for 15 minutes no that was michel oh was it that kind of it kind of it kind of

pissed me off because she had been drinking and she doesn't smoke. Like she doesn't like smoking. Like she's kind of like me to where like she thinks like if she smoked, she'll freak out or just never. I think she's tried it a few times, never liked it. And which I like, like I find it attractive that she doesn't like it. Like I wouldn't want like a pot head girlfriend or something. But anyways, yeah, we go to that party and then she was drinking and we're in L.A. and I just know she thinks she's cool.

We're at some fucking mansion party or whatever in L.A. And then like someone hands her the blunt and I see her grab it. And like she's like not against smoking. She doesn't care what anyone else does. But she'll always just say no. Like she just has no interest. But like she's tipsy. Someone hands it to her and she just like goes with the flow, hits it like twice.

And I just look at her doing it. And I'm like, I'm like, all right, we'll see where this goes. Then like 15 minutes later, she's like, Slaring, like, doesn't feel good. And she has to go sit down. And it's, and it's one of those, like, are you all? And she's like, yeah, I'm fine. Like, no, you're fucking not.

You're literally about to blow chunk. She, like, goes and sits on the side of the yard, on the steps. And I'm like, great. So then I take her back. And I'm like, oh, I'm just take her back. I'll bury her back. We get back to the hotel. Drop her off.

I'm like, I'm not fucking going on. We can fucking, it fucks some people up. Yeah. I want to get back to your question. I asked a question. Married or a baby? Because I've been thinking about that lately. Which one?

Which one would I do first? I mean, what do we say? We don't really care about it. I do, I don't care at all about getting married, to be honest. I think a baby I for sure want. Like, I have to have a little knee act, and it has to be a boy. That's not. Having a girl would scare me.

I saw a podcast, and I'm just going to fucking derail from the question again. But I saw a podcast. It's a father-daughter podcast. The daughter brought up to him. She was like, hey, I want to ask you something. Like, it's a pretty big question. Or it's a pretty big, yeah, pretty big question. I don't know what you'll think of it.

Blah, blah, blah. And he's like, well, just save it for the podcast. This might be good then. He's like, all right. and then she saves it for the podcast and they're talking a little bit and she was like okay so my question is i've been thinking about starting an only fan i knew you were going to say that and he you could tell his soul left his fucking body but he's one of those dads it's like i love you i will support you no matter what like he's always he's always dropping knowledge on the podcast his face got so red

it sucked the soul out of him. And even me, I was sitting there and this, I'm watching it from like a TikTok clip or something. And I've seen them pop up before. Just talking about like random subjects. And it just sucked the soul. Like I felt it. Like my God, God.

Like, it's almost like as if you like caught your girl cheating. And it's just that fucking your stomach drops. And it like I felt that. His face got so red. and he tried his hardest to, like, give a loving response. And, like, she's sitting there, like, accepting his loving response. And then, like, she starts, like, tearing up a little bit. But it was just, like, I don't know what the end result came out to be.

Like, he was sitting there saying, like, you're grown enough to make your own choices, do what you want. I can only try to lead you a certain way and hope you, you know, at the end of the day, I'm just worried for your safety. Like, once you start doing, you do something like this. You're going to have a lot of creeps finding out where you live, where you go. Your safety's the number one priority to me. Like, he's talking to her like that.

But it was just like, I don't know. It's just so crushing hearing that. And everyone in the comments is like, do not fucking do it. Like, look, does, I don't know how she could say. especially if she ends up doing it I don't know how she could say that to her dad See the reaction Dude on podcast is bro

Yeah see his live reaction Of How it made him feel like you could just tell I felt it it was bad And if she would still go through with it Like I could never do that to my Mom Yeah no like if there was a decision where like

I could just tell it fucking would suck the soul out of my mom. It just wouldn't even be on the table. And I know she knows, because I think their podcast is like pretty successful. And like, I'm sure people think she's like cute and shit. And it's probably a bunch of fucking weird creeps. And I, she knows she will bank from this.

The father-daughter podcast and the daughter starts doing only fans, It's fucking sickening, but she knows she will make so much money off it. But it's like, dude, that can, how could you? I don't know if I'm, like, wrong for saying it, but it's like, how could you do that to your dad? I don't know if she's going to do it. And she's saying, like, she's not going to, it'll be, like, she's just not, she's not going to be on there, like, finger in herself or something. Like, it's going to be, like, more, not PG, but probably, like, butt cheeks, lingerie. like risque shit

yeah risque but I don't know I don't know how you could do that and that's just what I think about when I have a daughter and if I can see I don't think

when I think of I mean I I think like when I if I want a kid I'd want a boy obviously I'd want a boy and Alexis says she wants a daughter and I like if I have a daughter

like I'm too I just know I didn't grow up with sisters I didn't grow up I was an only child and so we did dude shit all the time we would go to my soccer games

or like my dad liked that wilderness so we would go like camping and shit but if I had a daughter like dude I wouldn't know what to do and I would never be able to say no to her and Alexis was like you would be able to say no and I'm like all it would take is like imagine like

a little kid coming up to you a little daughter and being like dad can I go play with my friends and you're just like, yes, go do whatever you want. Do you like kids? I like kids. I'm not good with kids anymore, but I like kids. I used to like babysit in the nursery and shit.

I'm uncomfortable, really? I'm like uncomfortable with kids. Even when... Is it because of you? Or is it because of society? I think I'm just weird. Like, it's like I like find them dumb. Because they are dumb.

They are dumb. But it's, I... I don't even know how to explain it. Like, I've, I've only held a baby a few times. I don't like babies. And I'm always just like, I'll do this, take the picture, hold it for a few minutes. Yeah, I don't. But I'm never just like looking in their eyes.

Like, I just love babies. They're so innocent. Like, I'm always just like, I don't know. It does something to me. If I ever have, I can't, even if they're like young, like, playful eight, nine years old, I just can't. I don't know what it is. I'm just not.

Yeah. I can't play with them and like I can't get in that. The kids. I was even saying, I was saying to my family because all my cousins have kids. So like every time I go visit home, everyone's like, you're next. I'm like, they're okay. You know what I mean? Yeah.

But like my, my young cousins have like four-year-olds. five-year-olds. Yeah. So, like, I'm a little late, you know? Yeah, I'm late. And,

and so, I, but I, but, like, the, now that their kids are, like, growing up,

like, I'll go on, like, you know, like, like, make jokes with them and throw the ball

with them and, like, you know, like, do stuff like that. But when they were babies, they would try to hand me the baby, and I was like,

I don't, I'll mess with babies. Like, I was, I was trying to figure out a way, like, if Alexa does I have a baby if I can like drop them off somewhere and then like come back in five years and pick them up Say that again

Like Alexis and I have a baby and like I drop the baby off somewhere And then like they do the first three years To first four maybe and then I come back and see if it's I mean you might be you might be able to work that up Yeah there's probably something like there's there's I'm sure there's an app for that Probably yeah You'll check it out whenever you have a kid. Yeah.

I don't know. I feel like if it's my, see, if it was like someone else's kid, I could do that. Like if I had to like take care of someone else's kid, like say something to happen to your kid and you signed it over to me, I'd probably just like drop them off somewhere for like eight years. But if it was my kid, I feel like if it's my kid, just knowing it's a little me, just knowing how amazing I. am and just knowing they'll have a spark of that yeah that would like make me love them especially a son especially if he had red hair yeah just knowing a kid has to happen one way or another if i like magically find out i can't have kids or something i don't know might destroy me a little bit but for as much as i don't really like kids i definitely want a kid of my own

It's only a matter of time For this whole place is a fucking nursery Seth married You and I We're getting along Getting there Getting there Will kid

Damon 2 Bose baby mama Which we can't joke about anymore Yeah she's starting to get mad No Bose is getting pissed Dude he actually Does not like that joke at all

So I have to just like instantly clear it up because he actually gets he's like like I'll be like dude this could fuck up like something I got going like what if this bad he likes me she hears a clip comes out about Bo's baby mama or she sees a tweet or Instagram comment like what if that fuck's up my situation like yeah I think Bose like said it like that he does not he just not like that joke at all and people people keep uh like randomly saying stuff to him about it and I don't know how it got started but I saw someone tweet something like a baby mama joke and he responded in all like in all seriousness I know it's a joke

but I'm gonna have to start blocking some of y'all because this ain't funny or like something like that oh no so the Bo's baby mama the Bo's baby mama joke is 99% of joke no it's a hundred percent

of joke no more bo's baby mom jokes unless you're hex he's the only one that can make them but soon enough you're right this whole goddamn place imagine i mean you gotta think how many how many people what if we're still doing this in like eight years and our kids join us for a podcast dude the little fly cast i can't wait to have a kid and then use my baby for like gifted subs Like the baby doesn't The baby gets breakfast If you drop 20

Get him No baby breakfast Unless we hit 2,000 subs Dude you're so fucked up Oh my God No The world is

The world is so fucked Yeah one day we're gonna Everyone here's gonna have a kid We're gonna have a little get together I wonder if we're all I don't know I mean, hopefully one day I can afford Hex and Scumps neighborhood.

I'm gonna say like, what if we all just lived in like the same neighborhoodish in Frisco? I'm staying in Frisco, bro. You think for like for a long time? Yeah, yeah. Alexis and I will probably split like locations for a little bit. I mean, even, there's not really any rush

until like a kid has to go to school. But I think the school system in Friscoe is really good. Yeah. So, I don't know. Alex and I have talked about it a lot, but we'll probably continue to split. Because Arizona is so fucking nice, bro. It's so nice.

But I also love it here. I don't like downtown, but I like Frisco a lot. I don't know how you do it. Oh, wait. Are you all moved in? We move in. We'll be in about 12 days. We'll start putting shit in the house.

Fuck, yeah. Dude, you're so hype. Yeah. I can't wait to just. have my own place. It's a four-bedroom. I'm going to have a streaming room. She's going to have an office.

I'm like, you're not like me. I need the streaming room. You're like, I don't know why I'm making a competition. But she's like, can we put the clothes hanger in your streamer? I'm like, no. My stream is my stream room. I don't know if you're even allowed in. She was like, can we put juniors bed in?

No. My room. My stream room. fucking, I'm going to have to get a key, but I'm going to have a show I have an office. We'll have a guest bedroom. Then we have like an extra bathroom for junior.

That's his room is what we call it. And then we have a yard. It's going to be so nice. I think I'm going to put like a little ice bath pot in the back. Use it twice. And waste $4,000 or something. But yeah. So it's only 20, 25, I would say with traffic

25, 30 minutes from. from here without traffic, probably 20 minutes. So drive, not too bad. It's in a brand new area. It's a brand new house. Hopefully no weird neighbors. But I'm definitely excited to not be around, not being stacked within hundreds of people in an apartment.

Yeah. That'll be nice. I don't mind. I think if I was, I was talking to James, about this, but I was like, if I was single, I, like, might want to live down here. Oh, I could agree with that. He was explaining, he was like, yeah, that's what I thought too, but I'm, like, ready to get out of here as well. Because it was, but it's also, it wouldn't, being single, wouldn't, and living down here would be a detriment to my life. Because it'd be, like, meeting girls hanging out with, with the boy, going out with them, and I would just, like, be getting drunk because I'm in these social situations.

Yeah, yeah. It'd fuck up my streams. and fuck up. Like I'm so, I'm finally at a point now where I think I got all that out of my system and I just want to lock in,

get shredded for the 12th year straight. But just lock the fuck in, have my own place, not be, I can take the dogs for a walk or just let them in the backyard. I don't, like when we let our dog out

where we're at now, like we're on the first floor and like, so we can just walk right outside. But there's this, people non-fucking stop like not it's not the biggest issue

but it's just something about people being around it's just like I'm so over it and that's all the city life is it's just people non-stop it's like some people saying hi and it's like do I make eye contact with them do I don't do I say hi do I don't their dogs want to play with our dogs

see I think I think people are age it's just like I'm so over I think people are age and older that never got to experience like a year in New York or a year in L.A. or a year in Boston. You know, or Chicago, downtown Chicago. Like, I'll always, like, wonder what it was like. And I do kind of regret not doing it. But I don't want to do it now. Page, hop on.

Okay. Okay. She said, I got to go to the bathroom. I mean, I would say it is, Definitely an experience worth having. I mean, I can't even say I, I moved down here and basically just, like, started living with Michelle. And it's like, we would go out every now and then. But it just turns into the whole like down. I'm, I don't think I'm just, I'm just not, like, social enough for the downtown life.

Like, motherfuckers are always going out to eat, going to a bar, just having a few drinks. I'm eating meat again. Getting drunk again. Hmm? I'm eating meat again. Oh my God. How's that going? It's great.

Yeah. What was your first? First off, that's fucking insane. You did that for a year. A year. Dude, it changed me mentally more than anything. Really? Like, you know you can do it?

You know if you want to. No, it's more of just like, I can't, like, being a vegan is crazy. It's like mentally, that's, you know, You think, like, like, the way that Alexis thinks about food because she's type 1 diabetic, every, every piece of food for her is like a number. Like, this probably has 15 carbs in it. This has 20 carbs. Like, if I, if I eat this and, and drink this, then I have to take this many units of insulin. Like, food to her is like a, like a math.

It's like a bodybuilder, but. But survival. Yeah. But to survive. Not to look cool on stage. And vegans, like, kind of the same. thing where obviously way less extreme but everything is just like I wonder if this has butter in it do you think this is made of cheese I wonder what stove top this was this was cooked on or like

or like you're like I wonder what if these chips were made with milk ingredients and dude everything is just like I wonder if I can eat that can I eat that and walking into a grocery store on you know New Year's Eve because I made chicken that night I was just like like I used to walk by the sweets section and not even look at it because I can't eat anything everything has milk in it everything has like some sort of cream in it

but now I can eat it all again and it's just like getting your mind back to that was weird it was weird like I would I would like because at first I was just like all right I'm gonna get chicken so I went and I got chicken

and I got rice and I was like oh cool I can't believe I can eat this but then I would walk by like fucking like a donut. I'm like, oh my God, I can have a donut. I'd walk by like milk or like a croissant. And I'm like, I can have a croissant again. Like there's just so many...

Wait, what's in a croissant? Eggs? Oh, yeah. And you're just, there's just like everything that's made with butter or eggs or cheese. Cheese especially. Like there's so many like...

Cheese is so good. Like little minute meals that I can make now that have cheese in them. Even vegetarian stuff, I couldn't even have that because it's mostly like cheesy vegetables and shit. So regardless, it's been, it's been great. I think over the past week, so this year I'm doing no food apps. So, damn, over this past week, I've just been like making food and like, you know,

or going to grab food and getting like rotisserie chickens and stuff. Dude, I feel healthier in the last week than I have the past year From just making food at home So you would order a bunch of vegan shit Like you would have your go-toes? Dude, I bet you This is gonna be gross But I bet you last year

I probably had 120 sofrieta bowls from Chipotle Probably 120. That's disgusting. Yeah. It's so gross. If there was not meat in my Chipotle, I'm not fucking eating that. Yeah, well, I did it 100. I had to have been like 115.

Were you eating out a shit ton? A lot, yeah. Well, yeah, that and like ordering shit. But I'm, have you? Dude, I think, I think food apps is like the worst thing ever. Just the past two days I've spent over $100 on Nordash. Dude, I bet you're going to save so much money. Two meals for me and Michelle will be like $60.

total. Yeah. Like with the tip included. Yesterday I did the same thing and it's just like it's fucking insane. And plus it's just like it's not always the best. Like there's nothing wrong with Chipotle bowls or it's not a lot wrong with Chipotle bowls but but dude some of the stuff I was ordering. Yeah.

And just the the the like when I make a decision I just it's it is a hundred percent in my mind which is like kind of psychotic. but like it's something that I use to my advantage. And so like when I get off stream where I would normally order a fucking order Taco Bell or before the vegan stuff order McDonald's and I'm just like dude I'm too tight. Like now I just the freedom of like I'm not doing that. So I like have fruit in the fridge or like I have like chicken that I made earlier. So it's not even hard right now?

You just you know you're going to do it? Oh yeah. It's already done. I need to fucking do that. It's already done for me. You're in that. You're in that mindset. It's already off.

It's already off my phone. Favor, Uber, DoorDash, they're off my phone. So, like, it will not happen. Dude, it's more freeing. Well, the vegan thing was never freeing. It was more of just like, I wonder how I'm going to be able to do this. But it was like, I respect vegans now, even though they're still annoying. But, like, I know why they're annoying.

It's because they're, what they do is fucking hard. It's fucking hard But But dude This one so far I know it's only been a week And I got a lot to go But it's been so free

I'm just like dude How do you feel Do you feel any different physically Going back Yeah Um I have I

When I eat bad Uh Like I've been eating Mostly chicken or rice And I feel great Um But Alexis

and I did get McDonald's one night because I was like, you know, I haven't had McDonald's and... You got to get McDonald's. The last time I had food was when Hilton cooked in, or, the last time I had meat was when Hilton cooked in the mountains. Damn. That's the last time. Because I went, I went vegetarian that December.

Yeah. That was the last time I had food. To put it in perspective of how long it's been. Yeah. So... God, damn. So I went with Alexis and I was like, let's get some McDonald's. And dude, I ate.

What did you get? I got like a McChicken with mac sauce. And then I got two cheeseburgers. Oh, okay. That's your ordering correctly. Yeah. And I ate the cheeseburgers. I ate the cheeseburgers.

And then I had like half the McChicken. And dude, that's the only thing that fucked me. I was fighting for my life. And dude, it felt like there was a brick in my stomach. It's the first time I felt that since I stopped eating meat. Really? Like a brick in my stomach. Because I feel that all the time.

This is gross, but I like, I like shit. And it was like, it like fucking painted the bowl. Yeah. The first time that's happened in a year and a half. Super sticky. Year and a half. That hasn't happened to me in like two, like a year and a half. And it's the first time that happened.

Like diarrhea or just like super sticky? That. Like you flush and it's still there. Yeah. And then you have to. fucking, yeah. Well, I just leave my. That's disgusting.

Like, I've done it, and she's walked in and be like, ew, what the fuck? I know that's gross, but that didn't happen the whole time I was vegan. So you haven't gone crazy? Like, I'm back. Let me get cheesecake, donuts. No, I'm too scared from, me and my asshole are too good of friends to, like, for me to do that to him. You know what I mean? Yeah.

So, like, I haven't gotten like a, like a big cheese. Zalot. and then just dunked it in the syrancha. Like, I want to. I did that the other day. I ate healthy for, I was, I was exercising. I was getting back into the rhythm of everything. It was probably like three weeks of like daily streams.

And I'm waking up. I'm exercising, but I'm still eating kind of shit. And I just felt like, I still felt just like kind of like, I'm fucking forcing myself to do this. I still didn't feel in the best. mindset. I'm like waiting for it to like I'm back on my shit. Like when do I start feeling good?

Then I was like, all right. I can't judge and I said, I've said this so many times. I can't judge how I feel when I'm sitting here eating like shit. Yeah. I was like starting tomorrow. That's a funny, that's a funny two words. Starting tomorrow. I'm eating fucking clean.

And then I ate clean for like four or five days. And I was like, oh, this is the feeling. This is why I'm not depressed. I feel light. I'm not depressed. Like I feel lighter. My stomach doesn't hurt. I'm not coming to the office and like, wait, I got to go shit.

Like I'm like, it's just, I feel like my brain. It's literally my perspective on life changes. And not on like some like it's it's like I, it's like I see life through a new lens. it's not like anything actually changes, but it's just the lens I'm seeing life. Things seem better. Seeing people smile is, I like it.

Watching a stand-up comedy is like funnier. Like just different walking into a store to grab fucking pet food. And there's like people around and someone's in your way and you don't, and it's a little crowded. Like I'm not like freaking out. Not to say I'm freaking out, but it's like, I'm just like a little uncomfortable, and it's like, I look like a fucking freak. Having got a haircut in a month, I hope no, a fan doesn't, someone doesn't recognize me and want to take a picture.

Like that shit like that would like randomly go through my mind. Not like it does all the time, but like that's what my mindset would be when I was, when I was eating like shit, shit. The lens of life would just be like, it was like a darker lens. But then when I start eating healthier, it's like shit just starts brightening up. And then these last two days I've been eating like shit again Because I did I ate healthy for like a week

And then I was like I'm so fucking hungry I'm just craving pizza And I ate like eight pieces of pizza Had this Chocolate Or it was Nutella banana stromboli Was it a stromboli

Or a calzone It was like a Nutella banana calzone With eight pizzas of pizza With like a mountain dew and then with milk and I ate that and I ate that and I ate that and

I didn't immediately I was like God that was so fucking good and I was like I don't regret this tomorrow I'm back on my shit and then tomorrow next day you look at your stomach and it's just and I didn't even care

I was like fuck it I earn this this was so good because tomorrow starting tomorrow I'm back on my shit again and then tomorrow was yesterday and I ate pretty regular nothing crazy bad but then

I got home after my you know seven out eight hour streams which I now do daily and I was just fucking starving and I was like fuck what I order instead of making food I'm like I want to order something like I'm thinking of ordering something

because the day before I ordered something like I'm already thrown off my fucking momentum dude that's the biggest thing I'm like let me let me I was like fuck it today we'll order something Michelle leaves today. I was like this is your last night here

and let's order something. There's always something. There's always a fucking something you can find an excuse. I was like let's order Chewis which is like this Mexican place and they have this ranch that's so good and I got fajitas

and I just I ate all the fajitas had a fuck ton of ranch I was just dipping the chips and ranch and eating it and I think I ate then after I was so full I was like fuck why did I do that. Like, that's when, after I ate the pizza, just one day, I was like, fuck, that was so

good. I was like, I don't regret it because tomorrow I'm going to start. But then when it turns into second day in a row, I'm completely stuffing myself with bullshit, I'm like, fuck, why did I do that, man? And then like a few hours later pass, it's like 11 p.m. I'm laying in bed. I may or may have smoked. And I was like, I could eat something and then just pass right the fuck out. I was like, let me just go make a peanut butter and jelly. So I make two peanut butter. and jellies absolutely stack the peanut butter and the jelly I put a banana in between it

eat both of those tall glass of milk I pass out and now here I am and now it's like today is the day and I don't feel I feel the darkness of the lens of life like I was whenever I texted you I was like do you want to cancel cancel the

black ass because I looked at my your location and I saw you were still in Friscoe but my shit was just lagging yeah I was like holy fuck he's still there. I was like, I'm down to just cancel. It was raining. I had diesel. I was trying to walk across. I hydroplane

the whole way here. I wasn't trying to walk across get my fucking socks soaked. And I was just like, I picked up dog food beforehand. I was just wasting time. I was like, dude, fuck. No, Paige wasn't answering my text that let me in the gold garage. So I wouldn't have to walk through the rain. I was like, fuck this. And I

got kind of annoyed. My windows were all foggy and I was like, kind of annoyed. Then it was and it was just like, this is the fuck, This is my, the food I've ate these last few days are like making me, I don't think I would be annoyed and like be wanting to cancel the flycast if I didn't eat that shit food. So now today, I went to the gym. I've been good with exercising, but food is just hard.

But today I absolutely have to switch it around or I'm just, I'm going to fucking lose momentum. then I'd be forgetting that I don't have to be this depressed fuck the food that I put in my body if I'm eating clean drinking hell of water getting my electric lights and exercising and hitting some goals as far as streaming goes and blah blah blah the whole world just feels lighter and better so today I got to switch that around but I can't believe you and it's going to be hard with Michelle gone. If Michelle leaves out of town, she's leaving and go with her dad

to look at horses and buy them. And the time she has left, I just go fucking crazy. I'm an absolute pig. I don't cook once. So I'm going to have to clutch up and not fucking fall into that. Because life is so much better

once I treat my gut right. I think I've cooked. And when I say cook, I mean like instapot chicken, but I've cooked like more in the past week than I have in the past three years four maybe. It's a nice rhythm to get into.

It is nice. It does feel good. Because these restaurants, they are cooking with straight fucking oil. Even Chipotle. Like you think chicken and steak, yeah. But they are just sitting there spraying with their spray bottles. That's oil.

They're just spraying. They spray the grill. Grill. Then they throw the chicken on. They spray on the. top of the chicken flip the chicken spray a little more oil like and that shit is the worst for you so it's like you can make that same shit obviously it tastes better but when you make it from home it's just you don't have that extra fucking bullshit butter you get eggs at a fucking restaurant like they're

melting a shit ton of butter down putting the egg on that flipping it like they're cooking your egg and butter and i don't well i mean you could do that from home it's not necessarily the worst but just cutting out the like extra restauranty bullshit is so much better. I just can't believe you haven't gone crazy with your return. Well, dude, I'm just so scared. I'm so nervous. Do you feel like you're on like a good path? Well, dude, even like, even like having chicken and rice is going crazy for me.

Like stomach wise? No, just like taste wise. Like it just tastes so. good like so good what are you cooking your chicken in it's not just like plain no no no uh the first night i made like i saw it in like a pot of fucking juices yeah so the first night i made banana pepper chicken that shit was fucking cick-tok recipe uh youtube recipe well my mom was like i made used to make pepper or uh peppercini chicken or banana pepper chicken it's like banana peppers and then ranch seasoning and then you fucking put that

put banana pepper juice in there and then you pressure cook it and dude's good yeah it's really good and then I've made uh like North Carolina barbecue chicken with like the sauce that uh that is really popular in North Carolina Eastern North Carolina so and then um

and then besides that I've made like or I've had like the little healthy meals that you can get at a restaurant that are already made for you and shit but when I make a pot of chicken like that's good for like three days

so I just eat that for like three days you're afraid to are you afraid to dive into the depths of sweet yeah of like once you start it's gonna be super hard Alexis ordered me Krispy creams for my birthday dog yeah

They melt in your mouth, bro. Oh, so you had them yesterday? Yeah, yeah. They're so good. Yeah. How many you eat? Like four, five. Okay.

Not too bad. Yeah. Five throughout the day. She was like, I was going to get you half a dozen, but I got you a dozen instead. I was like, dude, you should have got me a half a dozen. Because I just want to eat them all. I know where they're at right now. I'm thinking about them right now.

Are you doing it? Like, do you just think you'll, that will, that will, start momentum of like craving that kind of stuff because are you like not really craving it not really uh not i feel like once you don't have it for a long time you don't even like crave it i am not really craving it but since you ate the donuts yesterday do you feel like oh that was i want some donuts i could i could fuck something up today yeah they're just regular glazed i'm like well what about chocolate glaze maybe some sprinkles on it like yeah i could just get one more box one more i bet you if i microwave it after that

box i just i'll give it up for the year again and then just like eat healthy and then next thing you know next time i'm in the grocery store i'm not going to walk past the sweets i'm gonna walk past the pastries and be like oh wait i was that that that that apple cobbler pastry looks now that i'm not vegan anymore i can just start stabling in just stuff like as long as i don't go crazy well next thing you know you're eating two pop tarts and a bag of muffins before you go to sleep every single night, which is like what I was falling into. Fucking, just the word, not even like good

sweet, just. Something sweet. I was eating Pop-Tarts, these bagged muffins. I don't even remember what they were called. Dude. Just absolute bullshit. Predd brought these little

like, these little like chocolate bars that the production team has in there. They're called like Tim Tams. Dog. I had one and I was like, yo, Paige can have one? Is he Australian? Yeah. What are they some Australian chocolate shit?

I think they're, they might be Australian. I don't know. It's just chocolates he bought here. He might have just got him from 7-Eleven. Some crazy Australian chocolate. But I, dude, I had one and I was like, oh my God. I bought the-

I haven't had like a Twix yet or like a, like a cookies and cream Hershey's bar. Yeah. Dude, the other day I had, there's just, it's just these square chocolates with like carbon in the middle. I had like six of those. with something else like it was two days were just really bad I gotta lock the fuck in

which is obviously one of my 20 it is 24 I don't know where we're out on the podcast but it's 2024 where are we at with hitcher rides go 2024 goals what do you mean what are your goals of 20 for 2024 I really want to focus on around the bar this year and obviously the food

App's thing is good. So that's going well. Got some life decisions to make this year, which I'm excited about. And a baby. No, no, no, no baby. No baby 24. Baby, maybe late 25. Maybe 25.

Maybe late 20 years. Maybe 25. But yeah, I really want to, I mean, TST ended pretty damn strong in 2020. Oh, yeah. So, 2024 want to keep the TST momentum, and I also want to focus on around the bar a lot. How does that feel to go? What did the sub train end that? How does the sub train end?

Exhaustion. What did the sub train reach? I think it was 6,100, 6,100, something like that. And are you live when it ends? Are you just like, hey, we've been live 10 hours? It got to a point where, like, people were away. waiting until the last second. Yeah, there'd be one sub.

One subs. But we were so, like, mentally, dude, we had been dancing and, like, freaking out and, like, mentally just spiritually drained. Yeah. So you ended it while the sub train was still going? Yeah.

Damn. We did the first, our last biggest sub train was three years ago. And it was... I feel like you should be, just be, like, George, stay on. Yeah, but then it just ends. But then you don't get to choose when it ends.

Like, the thing with, like, Like a sub train that is like people are just keeping alive is like they you will, it will turn into a sub-a-thon. Yeah. Like you will stream for 12 hours. I'm thinking about doing a sub-a-thon of just, but putting a cap on like, like a 48-hour cap. But I can also, but I can also. That's a 48-hour stream. But I can also sleep.

Yeah. You could sleep on sub-athons. Ludwig slept on his sub-a-thon. Because I can't just do a sub-a-athon. have a fucking, I mean, I'm not saying my community would keep me going for 30 days, but it was like, you never know. Your community would. Like just every, right when it ends in five minutes, someone would do it.

Here's the thing is you got to think about the outreach that Optic has. So you go live, you play, you go live for your sub-a-thon, a bunch of people come in. One, 100 bomb is, what, already a day? I think that's a day. So then you play with Seth You play with Seth all day Seth talks about your sub-a-thon Then at the end

Hosts me even if he hosts you or not People know you're on a sub-a-thon So they're gonna come over And then you Maybe you chill For a little bit You just watch videos or whatever We go live at night

And I'm at one point People are gonna come in and be like Nick's still on a sub-a-thong I'm like oh shit is he sleeping And then I host you that night And then you're the only option member on from 4 a.m. Their size, maybe formal, from 3 a.m.

That's she. That's. That's me live with me during the sub-a-thon. From 3 a.m. to 6 a.m. 7 a. And then so people are like, oh, I wonder what Nick. They're waking up. Like, I wonder what Nick's. Do you, you gain so much momentum through the sub-a-thon. There's a lot of boring parts. But the overall, like, like people just recognizing that you're on, right now,

there's this Pokemon player United Hayes that's on a sub-a-thon and he's been on a Sub-Athon for like seven days right now and he's playing in my tournament in two hours I just can't and it's like

I don't I have it I've watched a total of a minute and a half to five minutes of his sub-a-thon but I always check in because I'm like dude I wonder if he's still going I click on it and I'm like yep

he's still fucking playing Pokemon and I click off Does it show his sub-train? Yeah so he's doing it on he's doing it on YouTube so he's his member let me just look I'll take it right now it shows his like members or whatever

so I can't call it a sub-a-thon if I ended at 48 hours no that's a 48-hour stream I think a sub-a-thon the minimum cap you can have on a sub-a-thon is a week in my opinion you just can I can't do one 10 days so he's on day 10

if I was single I'd do it day 10 and he still has technically six hours left. But then once that time starts winning them down, people will be like, people will start gifting more members. And he's on a 31 sub-train right now.

If he gets 20,000... So how does the sub-train? If he gets 20,000 members, then he resets the game that he's currently playing. I forgot the sub-train was like time. Not... Total. Like the sub-it-a-yeah.

Yeah. I thought like the sub-train would just keep going, keep going. I want to do one. But I have a girlfriend. We have dogs. And that's really enough right there. That's the thing. The thing with a TST subathon is we'd have to do it before.

We'd have to do it now. Before a late 20, before late 20, before late 25, little little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, we'll have to work on the name. But before a little one comes up, like that's, we're going to do a subatathon. before that. And I think TST would crush a sub-a-thon. I think we would. Because you guys would fucking, like, plan shit.

Like, whenever, we would have our TST segment, and then, like, I would go to bed, and they would have, like, a war zone segment, and then I would wake up, and they would go to bed. You know, like, we would be able to, like, split it up. Yeah. Have Atlas, like, produce the whole thing. Giveaways.

Yeah. I think we would crush it, but we said, We said whenever Ludwig was doing his sub-a-thon, which was, what, three years ago at this point, four years ago, three years ago, we said if we ever hit 20K subs, we would do one. But then we lost...

I just don't know how... Remember, Optic was gonna do a... Like a... Everyone start, they would stream... We were gonna have, like, content creators come here, stream it, and everyone, like, stands in a circle or some shit. Last to leave,

wins like 20 grand or something like that. And I told Michelle about that. She was like, you better win that. And I was like, you wouldn't want me to win that. I was like, I'll be here for like 30 fucking days or something. I mean, I don't know how long I would actually end up being here. Nope. That would that.

I was like the old. I was the one planning that. And then it got fucking axed out from under me. Yeah. Pissed me off, dude. I mean. That video pissed me off. Really?

Yes. I mean, I think that video, that would. We're still going to do it one day. But they were putting me in. I was like, I know I'm not going to win. Like, I have you. I have the dogs. Like, you can't just have me leave for like 30 days straight.

Also, that video would not have gone over, because we were going to have like challenges and shit. That video would not have gone over seven days. Oh, really? Yeah. We would have had like, well, I can't, I'm not going to tell you. Just in case it happened. Just in case it happened.

Oh, I thought, I was like, you don't understand the. freaks they're probably going to bring in. That will sit here for 30 days. Bringing fucking blast and he's just... Yeah. Fucking. Shartless. Just... Yeah. Like... Yeah. But... But... I think... I think sub-athons are fun.

Yeah. They're good for what... If you need a boost... Because subathons used to be for super small streamers. Ludwig was the first one to do one that had, like, a following. Like a huge... huge following. Like the sub-a-thons that I had heard of before then were like people with like 10 to 15 viewers and they would still stay on for like 12 hours to a day.

But then he did one. Hunter JGX, I see him. I feel like do sub-a-thons all the fucking time. Dude, if you get, that's a dangerous, that's a slippery slope. But it's like,

I think his will end up being like 12, 16 hours or something. But I, maybe I guess if you just, if you have like a big. community or like you have optics surrounding you or everyone that knows of optic like it really would just i can't fucking just put a cap on it you can but it just it'd be a fake ass fucking sub-a-thub-thon to put a respect to ludwig put a month cap on his a month 31 days i just if i was single i could do it i just can't i mean i can but like you can i can but what how much how she

She would not allow me. What was Kaysenat went for? I think he put a cap on his too. This was like weeks, wasn't it? His was like a month as well. I mean, I would do it. If I knew I'm hitting 20K subs or something, I would do it.

Actually, I mean, yeah. I would have to do it. If you did a sub-a-thon, I bet you would get 7 to 10-K-subs. That would be insane. I almost guaranteed. guarantee it. I don't know how motherfuckers...

But you would have to, like, do stuff. Like, you would have to, like... Like, the way Sub-Athons would die is if you go to sleep and, like, that's it. Yeah. Like, I'd be pissed if I went to sleep, woke up and, like... Like, He said shit going the whole time. No, he did it. He did it fucking right.

The whole time there was shit happening. See, I'm not on that... I would end up just, like, sitting over there and be like, all right, it starts now. I'd play war zone for eight hours, then watch YouTube videos. By hour 18, you'd be freaking out. I'd be like, I'm gonna go to sleep. Then I'd wake up, it's over.

I gained... I got 45 subs. Yeah, I got 45 subs, and it's fucking over. One person dropped 100 bomb, and then I got like 18 resubs. And now my sub-a-thon's over. I just fuck, I wake up here at like 7 a.m. I'm like, okay, end stream, go home. Well, maybe.

Don't know if we'll see the Maniac Sub-Athon or not. Will we see the TSD Sub-Athon? We're not sure. But I guess that's going to do it for... You know what? I got a goddamn album of the week. Let's hear it. Someone called us out on stream the other day for not...

For forgetting... I'm like, trust me, if we, like, remembered, we would just, like, say... But for some... We made it a thing of the podcast, but then we just... I always forget. I never, like...

I just fucking forget. I don't know how to... The last one we did was like that fucking J. Electronics. It's called... Go to the fucking Andre 3000. What was the last one we did? Oh, the flutes. Tana.

I don't know if it's Tana or Tana. Tana Talk 3 by Benny the Butcher. Bro. Have you listened to Benny the Butcher much? Like all the Griselda guys. Holy fucking bars. No, it's nothing but... And then I look and he's...

Are all the songs? like a minute and a half long. That's what... No, this one's four minutes. Really? At least Benny the... I don't listen to much Gazelda. I listen to Benny the Butcher though.

And he just has an album. One or two albums a year. Every song is three... It's just four minutes of... Bars. Yeah, I'll listen. I want to listen to that. And it's the exact flow that I like. I love...

Dude. I love that fucking flow. I used to hear it. And I would... Like, I used to hear him. I'd be like, yeah, fuck with that. But then I'd, like, just go back to Drake or something. Yeah.

And I also fell off of rap. I haven't listened to rap, and I swear, like, two years. Like, I'll listen to Drake and shit every now and then. Or if, like, if I'm pre-gaming, throw on Lil Wayne or something to... Dude, I've been listening to Yeat. To what? Yeat. Really?

Yes. That is... I have not doving into Yeats. It is insane. I don't know what it's going on with me. Well, next week, remember Yeat. his album No.

He probably doesn't even have a fucking album. I don't even know if he has an album. I just click on his Spotify.

Well, Tana Talk 3 by Benny the Butcher nothing but bars. That's going to do it for this episode of the flycast. Episode 97. Matt Craig. Play that outro music.
