OpTic Changes & Halo Love - Ep. 19 by The Flycast

How this works. We're not live. What's up, Twitch? What's up, Silencer? Thank you so much for a five-month reset. Oh, I was just confused there at first. Did you hear Kanye West's new song? No.

Are we live right now? Yeah. All right. Have you heard? You have it? No. Kanye has any song? Scoop-ty-whoop poop.

Oh, no. I saw someone tweet that and I didn't understand what that. Yeah, you saw people tweeting scooby-whoop. Yeah. Scoopety-whoop-poop. Yeah, it's a new Kanye. song. Like in the beginning it's like some old sample and you think and then you kind of hear like drums starting to come in. You're like, okay. Okay. What's Kanye going to do with this? And then he just

he was like, what do you say? He said something like someone's going to, this is going to change someone's mind on what Kanye, where Kanye West is at or something. This bars, after these bars, like, I don't know, like, just hyping it up, kind of. And then he just spits like a troll, like a troll rap. Like just scoooby-whoop. Like literally scoopity whoop-oop-oop-poop. And like, it was kind of like, are you, I don't know, it wasn't cringe, but it was not. Strange?

It was strange. It was because, you know, Kanye West is like being talked about right now. Yeah, yeah. He's the shit. Yeah. Well, I don't know about the shit. Well, he's, he's. the shit to talk about right now because of the Twitter stuff. And everyone's just like what the hell

is going on with Kanye supporting Trump and shit now. And now he comes out with like this scooby-oom-moot. And it's like, is that supposed to like lighten the mood? Like was that supposed to be funny? Because Kanye West isn't funny. Yeah, he's not a funny guy. But I think he like tried to be funny. And it, it almost like worries me because I'm like, is he going crazy? Is he okay? Is he going more crazy? What he already is. He's obviously crazy. He's obviously crazy. I saw Chance tweet out, like quote tweet somebody saying, Chance, have you checked on Kanye, make sure everything is okay? And he tweeted, or he quote tweeted and said, yeah, I just hung out with him yesterday. It's the same Kanye as always. And everybody else is like, but is he? Because he's kind of tweeting some crazy shit right now. It's weird. I don't know what to think about Kanye. Because I'm like, even the other day, every time I like look for inspiration, I would like look. get Kanye interviews. Yeah, yeah.

Just a bunch of Kanye stuff. He filters in there with like all of the people that are like way too creative. Wait, is your mic going right? Or wait, it doesn't matter if the gold thing is facing towards us. No, are you talking to the tip? I forgot. Just the tip. Okay, maybe this sounds better.

Yo, intro us. So I can give my drink? Intro. Welcome to the Flycast. The best e-sports. podcast in esports besides the podcast because they're killing it right now.

True. 16K live viewers. Yeah, that was crazy. What? I mean, they also did start their podcast at the complete perfect time ever.

Like, literally couldn't have been a better time. But I didn't watch it. Just seeing the people, well, really just, I don't know, Nameless and J-Cat.

Yeah. I support it. Yeah, same. I support the podcast. Nameless content is hard. But before we get on that, Okay, go. Kanye?

I don't know. You were going to end it? Yeah, I don't know. I'm worried. Not worried for Kanye, but it's weird. Oh, we're good. They got 54K views on YouTube. I was like, if their first podcast beats our first flycast, then I'm pissed.

Because our first flight cast got like a hundred. Yeah. But our first fly cast got like 100 overnight. Really? But that's because syndicate tweeted. out but we're not going to talk about that part yeah no it's because no it's because we're i mean syndicate doesn't have that yeah he's not that like he's big but he's not like he's not puty pie trying to think of someone bigger than yeah and it was hard so uh so what are we are we what are we

talking about well we're still sponsorless but i'm we won't even play because we missed a week last week. Yeah. To be honest, it's kind of on us. Because I haven't, I checked the email and I went through them and then I replied to some people, but then ever since then, shit's been kind of, we were kind of dealing with other stuff. Yeah. I bring it back. Bringing it back Sean this week. So a lot of stuff, I guess, that we can't talk about. Yeah. We can talk about, but you guys. We can talk about it together. Yeah, we're gonna talk about it, but it just You're just not going to be a part of it. Yeah, you're not going to

actually hear us talk. No, it's like, it's a weird situation because it's, it's one of, it's a flycast where a lot of shit is going on, a lot of shit that people want to hear about, and a lot of shit that people want to know about. Well, that's why we can do this.

We can kind of say like a lot of shit's going down, but we can't talk about it. But that makes us like, that we talk about we mentioned it now we can put in the title yeah and now people are we talk about it what's really happening and the answer is we can't tell you but we did say those words so we can put it in the title i'm not putting in the title we would just get i'll just edit it um but yeah a lot of it's a very busy time right now for me it's a weird time for optic definitely yeah i mean

I was like, I was about to say something and then it was like, fuck. You can't even say that. I can't. Yeah. Because like, what are the people know or think? Are they just like what's happening with the car team? Yeah, basically. And like, they don't know anything.

Anything. Oh, shit. We can't really talk about it. Yeah, no, we literally can't talk about it. The only thing that was talking about is. Well, when can we, because this is going to go up tomorrow. it's not no this will go up tomorrow

okay I was gonna say this will go up tomorrow so it would be before like anything happens yeah well nothing's something's gonna happen well nothing's getting revealed until vision which is next Thursday yeah so rucky yes

Ava tweeted me um so that was worth that was worth the interrupt that's probably the only person that I'd be like alright um so

hmm I don't know How do we start? So Halo Online got shut down. Did you see that? I heard about it, yeah. So we did a Nick and a- Did it get shut down completely or just for like streaming?

Well, you can't stream it, you can't upload it, and you can't download it now. So the only way to play it is if you already had it downloaded. So it's basically torched. Unless like, well, like 3,000 people were playing it. If it would have been a Steam game, it would have been a top 40 game on Steam. How crazy is that?

I don't know. Because I don't know how top 40 on Steam. I don't know if that's like good. I think that's pretty good. I don't know. Because I don't know anything about like Steam games. I think there were like theme charts. There were the same amount of people playing Halo online that were playing H1Z1.

I don't know what to think about that. Yeah, me neither. Well, actually that's really bad for H1. That is. Because Halo Online like wasn't even legal. And no one even really like knew about it. Like, it kind of just popped up. How did people even find out about it?

I don't know. Why did people start streaming it? Because hasn't it been out for a while? It's been out for a really long time. And apparently there's, like, five or six other versions of it. Like, there are, like, a lot of different, like, remakes. I'm wondering why I just called this wave.

I think it's because Halo 5, I don't, they, I don't, Halo doesn't even know what they're going to do. They don't know if, like, the next wave is, going to be the same, because there's one more entire year of Halo before Halo 6. So whenever, I know after World's like, Snakebite tweeted out, what would you guys like for this next year of Halo? And some people were like, let's play Halo 3, you know, for this next year, like the MCC version. Some people were saying, let's play Halo 5, but with, you know, no gravity or no nothing. Yeah, regular set, like Halo settings. And then,

I think those are like the two most popular things because nobody wants to play MCC or that H2A. Nobody wants to play H2A. Nobody wants to play AO5. Dude. So is our HALO online not going to be posted on the channel? That's what I was getting to. Now I'm pissed.

Yeah, I'm pissed too. Because that was like a good episode. I wonder. That was the most fun I've had in a place. Yeah, I could tell. And it was because I was just shitting on them. Yeah. So Nick and I, for the, since you guys will know,

never see it. Nick and I went to an episode of Optic Plays and it was Halo Online. It was Nick and I versus Mike and Hex. And the thing is, is Nick's good with, obviously, on keyboard and mouse. Yeah, obviously good at Halo and good at keyboard and mouse. Mike is terrible at keyboard, everything keyboard in mouse. He even plays Fortnite with a controller on PC. And then Hex is just bad. Yeah, yeah. Hex is, well, Hex, yeah, Hax is, like, mediocre with a mouse and keyboard, and he doesn't play, has never played HALO. Yeah. So, me, I was definitely better at Halo online than I was at Halo, just because I think I can

control it better, yeah. And you were playing against. Oh, yeah, and I was playing them. But even when I was playing, like, like, pubs or whatever, or, like, custom matches, I don't know. Yeah. I was, like, doing okay sometimes. Then sometimes I was getting completely shit.

But yeah, you were like hitting crazy no scopes and you, you were actually, that was the happiest I've seen you. Yeah. I think you, this is like my issue with you because that's why I always, I do the same thing with big timer, uh, talking about like old call of duties and I always try to bring Halo out of you. Like I all, you know how I do that? Like I kind of like interview you. Even, even when I'm not on camera, like, I'm always like asking you about Halo's shit. I feel like you forget how much you love Halo. Yeah. I forget, yeah, I think I forgot about the good halos. Yeah. And how, like, I think you did too. How it's just not, like, a headache to play.

Mm-hmm. Like, even with, like, Fortnite, it's like, I like the game, but it's like, it's so draining to play because there's so much to, yeah, so much going on there. But before we get off topic about the match, it was, yeah, me and Hitch versus Flames Sword and X, and I was, like, hitting crazy snipes, just, like, having fun. talking shit. And then even at the end of game one,

Flame swords's like going up a lift or whatever. And we needed one more kill. And he was like, no scope to win. And because we were about to win because we were just shitting on him. But he like yelled to me, no scope to win. And he's literally flying through the air. And I just look up and no scoped him for the last kill. And it was like the hype is shit about plays yet.

At least to me. Definitely to you. Yeah. But I was like hype as shit. I was like, oh my, and like, Roger was standing behind me. He was like, oh, my God. And I was just like, fuck yeah. And I was like, this is going to be the best place.

And then now it's just not, that's just life is Neac right there. Like, it's like. I wonder if they could give you the footage. Because you can't upload it as Halo Online, but you could put it in like a vlog or something like clips, like that clip. Ooh. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like, you can't get, you won't get in trouble for that.

Yeah. So. I want to play more. of it because like I can tell that Halo Online Halo 3 was like way smoother than Halo 3 online with a controller. Yeah, yeah. Like I could tell like immediately. I would do some crazy shit on that game. Yeah. Like if I could. I downloaded. I wish I had it downloaded so I could play on the servers. Like are servers still up? Servers are still up. But the thing is is you've heard, I guess you've heard about the bands and stuff. So even if you, they, they, they, they, they

ban people on Twitch. So Jericho got a 24-hour... Well, I wouldn't stream it. Yeah. But you couldn't record it or upload it or anything. I'd record it and then just like put it... Well, how would they know? If it's Halo Online?

Yeah. I guess they wouldn't. That would be one way. Like, just title it is Halo 3? You're just like holding a... I don't even know. Every time you hit a clip, you'd be like, grab a controller.

I did it. I did really good. Holding up the controller to the camera. But there is like, it's like call of duty. Like people are known for keyboarding in that game. Yeah. And like you can tell someone's like keyboarding. You can kind of do crazy shit.

Yeah. Like in Halo, I would literally, dude, I wish it was out. Because I would be excited about playing with a keyboard and mouse. Because I could just tell, like, I wasn't even like warmed up or like used to it at all. Yeah. And like it kind of takes me a little bit to get warmed up with keyboard and mouse. mouse even like h1 z1 4th night literally would take me like four hours to like right get smooth with it so if i was able to like play that shit for like eight hours straight i would do yeah i'd pull off

disgusting shit i downloaded um monorfer two there's like a mod for it it's basically halo online um they somehow figure out a way to uh crack the fps cap because the fps cap for monoiffer two even on PC was 60 frames. Ew. Yeah. And I didn't know that. Or maybe it's like 90 frames. It's something weird.

But they uncapped it so you can play it like, I think the max is like 240 frames. So I was playing monitor for two, 240 frames. And I played monitor for two for seven years or something like that. I think that might be an exaggeration. But it's like six or seven years on 360. Oh. Wait. No, I mean, is the, are you talking about it now on PC?

Yeah. Okay. So I played it for six. years 60 fps on console and now I'm playing the same game that I mean that was like playing on Halo 3 yeah it's crazy and now I'm now I'm playing it well you can play it triple the FPS yeah it's like it's the same thing as Halo Online but it just doesn't prop I don't know I don't know if it's legal but because I would I want to play call duty with a keyboard and mouse oh dude you should definitely play it's like it's called IW4 X

And it's kind of gotten a lot bigger since Mono4-2 remastered, like, all this hype around it, like, happened. People have been downloading it more. So a lot of more people are playing it, but it feels crazy, dude. Like, playing, obviously, I know what a pre-fire. I know, like, all the different maps. I always saw Mono War II. Felt shitty. As far as, as far as, like, the, like, the aimer.

Like, it felt, that's what it felt. No. What? It just felt like, I couldn't think of the word, like, uh, like choppy. Like, just not, like, heavy and kind of choppy. One or two feels heavy? Yeah. Like, it does, it's not, like, that smooth feeling of, like, Black Ops too.

Dude. Oh, man, I think the opposite. I don't know how you think the opposite. Like, just as. I don't know how you, like. Maybe it's because I was using a wire. wireless like old piece of shit controller when we played. Does the feeling of running with the UMP lightweight, it's got to be like the smoothest thing probably in Call

Duty history? It's like it's smooth, but I just feel like the aimer is like heavy. Almost how I feel like the Halo 5 aimer feels heavy. You're wrong. But anyways, I would, I'd like to play keyboard mouse on it. Yeah. And I have a, I actually have like a. theory of why they took down Halo online

because it wouldn't, it would make no sense. Because they're going to bring it back. Either maybe. Or they're going to make it something? Either maybe Halo 3 remastered might become a thing or because, because of how Microsoft has been doing X, and like all the Xbox exclusive games are now becoming Xbox exclusive and Windows.

So Windows is like matching, trying to match with Steam. They're trying to compete with Steam. So if there's something that's might be. Microsoft, it's Xbox and Windows. And I think they're either going to introduce Halo 5 onto Windows or Halo 6. Please don't. Or Halo 6 is why? If they bring Halo, like, say like Halo 3 is not allowed, like Halo 1 line,

the Halo 3 and all that isn't allowed, but they allow Halo 5 online or something, I wouldn't even play it. Yeah. Actually, no. Maybe. Maybe. Probably not, though. Yeah, you would play it.

People would want you. I would try it, but it wouldn't. You would at least try it for a video. Dude, the coolest thing about, like, what I've been doing lately is just playing like a shit ton of game, like different games. I've never been a gamer nerd though. Me, me neither. But just being able to play like whatever kind of feels like nice. It's better than just like, holy shit, I'm going to grind Fortnite and hope that I either something funny happens or something or I shit on somebody.

because it's like difficult I mean it's just like kind of easy just to casually like play two games of Call of Duty and talk about something or like hop into a Radical Heights game and try to do okay and then play Fortnite it's like everyone's going to hand

unless you have like a funny like a squad squad yeah that's what I'm kind of confused with my stream of like well that and I've also since starting streaming I feel like I've been in like a weird funk but I mean even even then it's like it's I can't really say it's hard

with fortnight because there's people that are doing it and like killing it but for me it's like I like trying hard yeah and it's like so I don't look at the chat as much yeah we have the same issue with all of that that's why I feel like I've kind of like started to balance it a little bit because I'll have definitely my like 30 minutes to like 45 minutes where I'm just like trying hard and like not talking to the chat as much. I'm like definitely forcing myself to acknowledge the chat. Yeah. Say things.

But then like I'll just, I'll just like take time just to all I'm doing. I like full screen myself and just talk to the chat for like 15 minutes. And those are the times where like people start like, you know, subscribing because they want to that's when you're like paying attention and stuff so it's a little bit better that way I'm almost I think I have more subs right now than I've ever had so that's kind of cool I'm not yeah but we're climbing back slowly but I think I don't know I don't know if fortnight 100% of the time is your thing I think I mean you're obviously really fucking good we'll see I feel like I can't

judge it I can't judge it yet because like my I feel like my personality as of lately has been like not depressed but like in a funk yeah so it's like I don't know I can't really judge something

or judge the way something's going if like my even my personality even outside of Fortnite I feel like is I feel like not the biggest thing Like you said, like people are blowing up on Fortnite, but everyone that's blowing up other than like maybe Nick Merck's other than CDN or actually no CDN does. Everyone's just like very like collaborative based. Like ninja plays with Lupo. Lupo plays with King Richard. You know, Desquan plays with Ninja. It's like Jack plays with shroud. You know, it's all. of that like if you can if you can get yourself into that you can kill it yeah but I mean

I've been streaming a week no so it's like I'm not saying you should I'm saying I'm saying the thing is is is when Jack started it was always that it was hey I'm playing with TP guys um or hey I'm I'm playing with scump and big timer and and and constantly tweeting it out and he like grinds that shit he gets himself into a position where he can't you know, he, he's not going to have a weak stream because he figures out how to make it as entertaining as possible, which I feel like is, we've always talked about this, like, the difference between how I streamer you stream and how Jack streams. Because, I mean, Jack in this game is really good at Fortnite, but he also is really entertaining

and makes the right moves where people are just watching just for the entire experience instead of just like. But I feel like with Jack, like he wants to. like that's that's him though like he wants to go into solo duos and get a teammate and like talk to his team and shit like I'm sure like I'll do that but I would like want to troll him like I would want to like troll my teammate and that must like like not like make friends with him and get him his first win I want to like shoot the ramp I want to be like I want to be like yo let's launch pad and then just like shoot him down or something like I wouldn't want to be like

But I don't know. That's, that's, I don't know, even in H1Z1, my thing was always, like, I never collabed with people. Yeah. I just, I liked playing. Yeah, exactly. And I liked the feeling of like, like, like, did you see the end of my, uh, the 20 kill solo one?

When you almost found. Of how happy I was. Yeah, yeah. I saw that. Like, I saw you almost die. Like, almost fall off the map. Oh, yeah. Team kills it.

Yeah. Dude, that shit was like an illusion. I was like, because I was like up in the air here and then like right here was like kind of a mountain. Not too, so I was like, oh, I can just drop off,

but the mountain goes like this. I was like, fuck. That would have been, I would have been so pissed. Yeah. Dude, I got out of, I got out of tilted. Like that shit is what makes me like,

obviously happy and like makes me want to play. Yeah. But it's just. To like prove to myself for no fucking reason that I can get 20 kills in a solo. Like that actually matters. And then you finally get it and you're just like, see, guys, this is why I wasn't streaming. Because I wanted this moment. And it's like, well, that moment.

To everyone else, they're just like, nice. All right, man. We've been bored the last four hours, but glad you got your win. Yeah. That's, I don't know. I feel like there's a, because even in all of my videos that I've, been uploading and like even in my streams besides when I'm playing with uh Blake and George I it's literally just like solos and doing story games by myself or things like that I don't

know if I could get into that yeah story games by myself I mean I could it's like I do I do like I'll get into my chat and like have our little fucking uh our little our little me and chat get-togethers where it's like I'm like fully invested in the chat and just like doing my thing but I don't know right now I just trying to figure out my wave figure out my because I was I was like stressing about getting a 20 kill win in solos for weeks like that's all I wanted to do was drop a 20 kill win yeah yeah and like after I did that I was like, I don't know what. I was like, now what?

Yeah. I was like, where do I go from here? Now you can focus on real things. Now I can do little play through. Yay. But you talked about how you've been feeling like in a funk or whatever. Do you want to talk about? Yeah, the other day, I know a Stone Hitch before the podcast started.

Also, our battery likes the drain itself before we get here. Yeah. So we only have an hour today. I know usually, well, I guess the past couple episodes it's been hour 30 to like two hours. Yeah. But, you know, we're just preferred. We only have an hour today. So we might. On video, we can keep talking.

But only an hour in video. That's just weird. I just guess it's just black screles. But the other day I was, well, as of lately, I've just been like in a funk. I've like felt my anxiety. Like, I think a lot of it has to do. to the fact that I've been kind of eating shitty and then not going to the gym

and having like, and my sleep schedule has been trash. So I think a lot of that and people might not, people might think I'm like not stressed by like all this shit happening with like the call duty team. And like it just makes you wonder

about like I don't know what's going to happen. It makes you weird. Yeah. Yeah. Just, I guess a few factors, but I've been feeling like my anxiety being like higher lately. And like the other day I was streaming and it was probably like, how long it was it? It was probably like six hours in, but I was just like, I'm going to get off here. Like, I don't know. I just felt like I felt like nauseous kind of. I felt my anxiety was just like high and I just got off because I wasn't feeling well.

And I was like, I don't know. like shaky. Then like as I'm just laying in bed, I start thinking about more shit. My heart's racing. I'm like sweating and shit. And I'm just like, great. Here we go. And it's weird because I like know, I know what it is. I know that like an anxiety attack. I wouldn't necessarily say I had an anxiety attack, but not a panic attack because I've had panic attacks before and it's the fucking worst. but like my heart's racing and I'm having like a little anxiety attack

and I'm like doing these breathing techniques that I've always done and it helps but it doesn't like make it go away and I was just kind of sitting there and my my shit will affect me like say I have an anxiety attack it will affect me for like days so like even even yesterday

like I woke up and I still felt like anxious and like Bose asked me to do a video and I just like straight up ignored him because I don't and like people were asking to I don't know hang out or something but it's like I just like I couldn't I couldn't like socialize because my anxiety was just so high I felt like I don't know I just didn't feel like myself so I don't know that's just did you ever watch the David Letterman thing that I told you to watch with Jay Z yeah well he did one with Jay Z but he also did one with um George Clooney. I watched that too. Did you say you heard the thing about him, he like tried to explain anxiety.

So, um, David Letterman. So he like, I've watched it. I don't know if I remember. He's like talking to George Clooney and he's like talking about anxiety. And,

uh, he was like, I just, uh, it's crazy how you're so anxious how you're so anxious about having a kid and then the second you have your kid. Oh yeah. It,

it all goes away. And while he, he tells like a, a story. He was like, I was just sitting there flipping burgers. like grilling with my wife and she was pregnant and I was just so anxious. I was anxious and I said, what if, what if we have this kid and I go crazy and I just kick it and I kill it. And it's like

anybody who doesn't understand like anxiety or like being anxious or whatever, like that probably sounds like the craziest shit. Like that probably sounds like what? Like are you insane? But anyone who's ever, I'm not going to say I've dealt with anxiety or like, an anxiety attack. I think I've only ever experienced like massive anxiety once, but I can definitely understand the, the like overthinking and like like everything in your mind. Like I feel like anxiety for that that one time that I've had it is it's constantly what if, what if, what if, what if? And it's like what if. And it's always the worst possible thing. Because I'm pretty bad about it, especially the only two times I've ever been like bad about it is whenever um my ex-girlfriend

got a got a puppy and we kind of like I like helped her raise it and then now with my current puppy the same thing like I sometimes like every single time and this sounds this is going to sound fucking weird but every single time I walk in the door I think holy fuck I I'm not like scared but I think what if I round the corner and the dog is dead you told me that and I was like what? Yeah, and I don't know why I feel. I don't think I've had that about an animal at least. Have you ever, well, besides like your parents, have you ever like owned an animal or like, have you ever like helped someone raise an animal? I mean, I had like 30 cats. Yeah, so tell me that. And dogs. We had two dogs, but I never like raised. Like it was never like mine. Yeah.

like it was never like my responsibility well actually i did have a cat that lived in my room that i like considered my cat because it lived in my room and then but i don't know i think it i don't mean i don't know how to and it's it's like i guess like i like i knew it was weird that i constantly like i'm like why does my mind always go to this could happen like this this could happen it would be traumatic like you would be traumatized for your whole life if you would be traumatized for your whole life this happened. And while I'm thinking that, I'm like getting traumatized by this not even thing that is happening. Yeah. And, uh, like, I don't know how to like, like, like one time I, we came in and, uh, Sam and I walked in and there were like, there was some clothes on the floor that weren't there.

And, um, and she was like, I think the dog got out. And, and, and we sat there and, and we had walked into the, into the, into the house and the, the puppy did not come. And, um, and she was like, I think the dog got out. And, and we sat there. And, and we had walked into the, running towards us. We didn't hear anything, but I walked into the, I walked into the room and the crate was open and there was clothes on the floor. And I'm sitting there like, like, I'm actually like kind of starting to like tremble. And then he fucking barks in the closet because he had gone into the closet and shut himself in the closet. And I literally was like freaking out. And it's like I, my brain didn't go, oh, wow, he got out. I hope he didn't poop on the floor. It's, oh, my God, he's dead somewhere. And I, I can't.

I don't know how to fix that. Yeah. I thought about, I was like, if I, if there was like a sheet that showed you how many times you were like, what if this happens and you were wrong, it would be like 98, 99.9% of the thoughts that like scare you. And it's like, what if this happens? Like 99.9% of that time. Like if you had a chart that showed every, you. bad thought you had like that.

Yeah. And like how many times it never happened? Yeah. Like it maybe change your mind a little bit. I wonder if it's like that for everyone. Like when you're, because every time I feel anxious, there's always stuff like that, even if it's not just about dogs or whatever.

But when I feel anxious, it's more of like shit I'm not happy about, I guess, with myself. Did that just die? The camera just died, but we'll just keep it up. It has been an hour. The battery literally said an hour.

Yeah, it's been like 40 minutes. May as well just keep talking. What the fuck? Well, shit. We'll talk for a little bit longer. Sorry, YouTube. Yeah, sorry YouTube. But this is a good time to,

this is also going to be available on SoundCloud and iTunes. So you guys that are listening. That's where they're probably watch it anyway. What was I saying? Anxiety. Oh, my anxiety mostly comes from like, shit I'm not happy about with myself.

But then I'll also think about like, I haven't called my mom. They're like, how's my parents doing? Haven't talked to my grandma. I'm forever. And she's like 91. Right. And then I just get to myself where I'm like,

God, I'm a piece of shit. Yeah. Haven't been to the gym in two weeks. God, I'm a piece of shit. And I'm just like really like, I guess I'm really just like fucked up with myself. Yeah. Or I'll talk to myself in like a fucked up way.

Yeah. Like, you're a fucking loser. Like, I can understand that too. Like, it's got to be so, I, do you, whenever people openly talk about, like, like, mental issues or problems or diseases or whatnot, do you, do you find yourself, like, getting skeptical about it? Like, about, like, if they openly talk about how, like, they struggle with something or deal with something, do you, is your first thought, like, is your first thought, like,

Like a lot of my thoughts is like when people say they have anxiety and stuff. Yeah. Most, I don't know. A lot of the time I think to myself, well, it's not as bad as mine. Yeah. No, your shit's like you don't know. I really know what it's like. You just think like you have anxiety because you're like uncomfortable, but you don't

really know what it's like to have your heart beating at a thousand miles per hour. You're sweating and you think you're going to die very thin. Yeah. that's sometimes what I think but I do understand that there's like actually mental what do you call a mental illness yeah I did there is like mental illness yeah yeah like I think like there's shit people can't control to where they're like you can physically you physically test it to where like certain people have lower like serotonin just naturally yeah and a lot of it's like genetic um so yeah yeah there's like and that's why like sometimes i get um i get like i get like i don't know how to

phrase this like when i don't really like talking about like how i like i don't like talking about whenever i feel anxious or wherever i feel like i'm in a funk or whenever i feel like i don't know i haven't I guess I haven't felt that way in a while but it's just like I don't like talking about it because I was a big advocate of people not like I feel like there's so many people out there that use that to like get attention or like to use it in a negative way and it's really like from my experience people that do deal with it don't talk about it openly they don't want people to know about it. Yeah.

And then so, but that also causes issues because I mean, that's a lot. That's like most, when it's like real, there probably are, most of the time the people that don't talk about it probably are more like they're really feeling it. Exactly. Compared to like, I mean, obviously there's, I'm sure plenty of people that just like use it because it gets them attention. Yeah. And they probably are sad and they probably are like.

Yeah. you know, maybe anxious. But I feel like the person that is always constantly talking about it has absolutely, like they might be sad and they might, they might, you know, be really sad and really, really upset.

But they have, they don't even understand. They can't even comprehend the pain that the other person is going through. The person that's not talking about it, that's too embarrassed to talk about it. And that's the kind of person that like, that I, I guess like,

um, like, uh, I don't even know. Like that, that's the person that I want to like help I guess or that's a person that I want the world to know about but all these other people that are claiming to be that really like I guess just like fuck that up they like fuck that whole narrative of up yeah I guess people just deal with it in different ways yeah

my way is like my way is like the shut shut everyone out yeah don't don't don't reply to tax and just fucking go into a cave mode where I just... I used to be able to drag you out of it because we used to live together but now I can't trust Aaron to do that shit. Well, no one's gonna...

No one's gonna like drag me out of it besides... I mean, I think friends is definitely like one of the most important parts that they get out of like a funk. Right. But I mean, I think a lot of it's yourself and just has it? Like I

feel like I've dealt with it so many years that it's like I know the answers when I'm when I'm having an anxiety attack or something I know what it's like it's almost like science of what's happening it's like your body just

it's like you think your your body reacts as if you're like about to get attacked by a fucking tiger like your heart is pounding and sweating but it's like that's just your body reacting. Like it's just like a body reaction. Nothing's actually happening to where you should be so scared and like anxious and stuff.

So I don't know. You learn the more you deal with it. And now I think I'm getting to a point where it's if like something that happened a couple days ago, like what I explained happened happened. If that happened like seven years ago, it would like affect. me for like months and I would go into like a fucking cycle of yeah fucking negativity but now I know like what kind of gets me out of it and it's it's it's a fucking repeat every single time so it goes to start going to the gym start going to the gym eat healthy but then I'll then I'll

do that and I'll start feeling good and then I'm like hey I don't even like I feel good I don't needed a can't have a slice of pizza. Yeah, and then five pizzas. Five pizzas a row every night. You're just like, why do I feel like shit? Yeah.

Yeah. No, I definitely like shit. Do you think, do you think it's, um, we're talking, I mean,

I don't want to talk about this like as if we're constantly having problems with this stuff. That's not to say I'm fucking. Yeah. Depressed over there. Yeah, exactly. But I'm, I'm saying like having experience.

I think I've experienced like some some sort of variation of depression. I think I only actually experienced it once and it was like a really long time ago. And you've experienced like anxiety definitely a lot. So do you think it's gotten worse since I guess you've hit some sort of spotlight like with my anxiety? Yeah. Or is it always kind of? I think it was it was definitely worst years ago. Yeah. Yeah. I couldn't like, I don't think I could have, eh, hmm. Yeah, I think I just went through like when I first joined Optic, I think I was at like a good space in my life. And maybe I was just like so excited to join Optic and move and like see what would happen that like I didn't really give a shit. And I was just like happy with what was going on. But definitely when it first started was

the worst because I didn't what the fuck you're just like I just had to cough out of nowhere that was so weird sorry when it first started that was the worst probably in

probably 2011 so what was I that was seven years ago so I was like 19 1920-ish when it first started it was definitely the worst because I didn't know like what it was yeah it was like like back then

when it if something would have like any type of anxiety would happen in my arts ration should like I would think I'm gonna die yeah because it's like beating so much it just gets worse yeah but like now it's I know I'm like ah this is just what happens yeah when you when you have one yeah so then you can like kind so it's like I'm just used to it you gotta like talk yourself down Yeah. Or and just like ride through it. It's like shit and this is going to happen for a couple hours. I think that's like whatever I feel like that sort of wave of I guess becoming some, it's not even like sad. Like I've been sad, but then there's like a step above that. It's not like depressed, but it's like, wow, I really don't want to do anything. Like I don't want to talk to anyone. I don't want to be around anyone. I just,

literally want to sit in my bed, eat, and watch YouTube videos or, like, literally do nothing. And, like, and then there's, like, a stage above that where it's, like, I'm going to stay in my bed and be sad. And that is, like, that, that, I've only reached that stage probably once. And I haven't ever since then, because whenever I get to the point where I'm like, wow, I've been in bed for eight hours and I haven't done anything. I, you know, like, this is dangerous. Like, it's getting, it could get to that point. And so then I just kind of like, I don't know, I either like reset the next day and just like actually do something or, or I figure out a way to like get out of that. And that's when I usually like, I don't know, go just get out of the house.

Go get a coffee or something. Yeah, like today I woke up. Sleep, I think my sleep schedule might have to, might have a lot to do with how I feel. Because I know when I have a shit sleep schedule, like everything just seems darker. And like just more of a, it's just a shitty life waking up like that. Yeah, it is. But I know if I wait, like,

I'm going to do this thing with Mike, uh, hex and I think Jack. I'm sure anyone who wants to do it, can do it. Um, but I think starting, I'm assuming,

Monday we're going to all start going to the gym together at like 9 a.m. Okay. So I'm going to use that as my bounce back to the gym at least. Yeah. Because it's been two weeks. Yeah. I'm actually... You actually want to be down.

Yeah. But... There's like one thing. Nine a. There's like one thing. And after... Yeah. It will be soon.

Yeah. Because Sam's grinding right now, and she's making me feel like a piece of shit. And what's streaming? No, going to the gym. She's been to the gym. Oh, really? Yeah, every day for the past six days. Damn.

She goes to the gym, then she tans, then she streams for nine hours. And I'm sitting there like, well, I do stuff too sometimes. I rented that office. I was wondering, because someone said they saw the Jeep at the gym. Yeah, that was her. And I was like, I forget. Were you proud of me? no because I know it wasn't you because you were I think you were somewhere and I was

Seattle said the maybe yeah I was like jeeps at the gym they were like yeah maybe Sam's at the gym and I was like no no she definitely she's been grinding so I have to I have to start grinding now there's like no but damn she's grinding without you too she is that's how you know she wants it yeah yeah Yeah. She's gone a few times with Ashley, I think. But besides that, she's literally just solos it. Yeah. Like, that's respectable.

My thing, I mean, it shouldn't be like that. But it's so, like, when Snakebite was here, like, and I know I'm letting him down if I say, like, I'm not going. Like, I'll just, I'll go. So that's why when start, I'm assuming starting Monday, me, Jack, X, and, like, will be. at the gym 9 a.m. every morning. Did we ever talk about the, I know this is super random, but you said snake bite and my thoughts

just kind of went everywhere. Did we ever talk about like you and I ever talk about the splice thing? Like how they won worlds? I don't know if we talked about it in the optic podcast or not. I don't think. Did you watch the finals of worlds?

I think I tuned in and saw they were getting smashed. It was with I think I did it with I don't know I talked about it and with somebody but I said this like I've shot console e-sports you know pretty much

just console e-sports besides CS for four years and that splice obviously I wasn't a shooting the event but I've been watching it for a very long time and that splice match was like the most perfect gaming team the most

perfect play I've ever seen in any game they're freaks. It's weird, man. They're freaks. I told people on my chat one time, I was like, never in history, have you seen a God squad? Just get god squatted on out of nowhere consistently. Yeah.

But oh my God. It's like, because it's not like Splice just came out of nowhere for this event. Yeah. They came out of nowhere. like a few events prior and we're just like, people were just like, damn, these guys are good. You gotta think about that next event, damn, these guys are fucking

I mean, you gotta think about every dynasty like in console like, they'll like slowly fade out, taken down. Yeah. Like they'll start having like close series. Then they'll lose an event, but when the next event. And then it it'll turn into like a rivalry

but with this spice team, it's just like it was like, cheat. They picked up, what happened? It was like they picked up Renegades and boom. They were like, fuck scrimming. Yeah, what? And then you hear they don't scrim? I said I need to talk to someone in Halo to see, like, how true is that?

Because people say that, but. That probably pisses the talks guys off. Because that's all anyone was talking about. They were like, these guys are destroying the best team at Halo history and they don't even scrim. Yeah. That was like the, I don't know. true that is though I don't know that's just that's but imagine it is true and all they actually

practice by with two v twos like they said I mean like apparently all they do is play two v twos it's different I think it's different for halo in particular because cod is on a one-year cycle gears um is on like a three-year cycle but it's constantly like I think gears is constantly like I think gears is constantly changing. They're constantly adding new maps and stuff. Halo has been the game since you played. And it's the same maps. It's the same rotations.

The same, like, they took everything that was weird about the game and they took it out. So now there's nothing to learn because everyone's learned everything. You could actually hop into Halo and know everything, like within a day. because it hasn't changed. The only thing that's changed is they took out all the weird shit, like the fuel rod and all of it. They took it all, like the assault rifles, all of that stuff. So now it's just gun-on-gun gun fights with what I wish I was playing.

Yeah, with just rotations. So they memorized the rotations and then they just perfected their gun skill. Dude, I don't know. It's weird. There's levels to this shit. Like, I couldn't get on the level of Tox, so how could I... Yeah. It makes no sense. So, I don't know.

And then you got to think what, so now what... But then... People are saying to Splice what they used to say to Tox where it's like, well, if it was classic Halo, they wouldn't be able to compete because, like, like, talks was so good at, like, maneuvering around the map. Like, the first time anyone saw Frosty, like, what the fuck? But now, like, Stellars was... doing shit.

It's like four Frosties. It's like every, like the way they move is insane. And so now people are like, well, they, I wonder how they'd be at classic Halo.

They would, they would still be at the top. Yeah, they would still be at the top. And that's what people would say about talks too. Yeah. You're like,

Frosty couldn't hang in Halo 3. And it's like, well, he did win the Halo 3 throwback. Yeah. He is the best, he is the first person to get picked at the Halo 3 8s. Like, if you're good at HAL

you're good at HALA. Yeah. If you're good at this time being, you're going to be good at any, any Hela. Like the top, like, who's like a new call-a-duty guy that's just like kind of dominating right now, but like just came in the scene the last couple of years? Gunless. Like gunless. If you go to Modern Warfare 2, he's going to be a guy. He's going to be a guy.

Yeah. And the first time I'm not going to lie, I used to be the kid that was like, oh, I'm good at Monofer 2. like these people aren't going to beat me a monover two like i don't care and then and then we were like playing monover two for a while and and people were starting to scrim for like the throwback tournament that i was using or i was doing and like it was just me blake and george playing and then temp who was just this guy it was just this young kid that started playing who was like hey i'll play i'll play with you guys and we'll play my team and i was like okay and so temp just this guy and i was like i was like obviously he's really amazing at these

He's a cod pro, so he's amazing at the current cods, but like, I might have to teach him how to play Mono for two. And then he dropped a 65 bomb. Literally, the bottom left kill feed was just his name. It was just him killing everyone. And me, Blake and George, were like, what the fuck? Like, we even played this game for seven years. It's kind of like, like, if you're, like, if you're good, you're good. And if you're not, like, it's not because of the game, unless you're Patrick Price.

Bless your aches. You couldn't hang in jetpack games, but then we come back to Booth on the ground and he makes it a grand finals. Oh, is he good now? I mean, he made it a grand finals. Who's his team? EG.

It was an open bracket team. I think it was the first open bracket team. They made it to final? I think it's the second open bracket team in Cod history to make it to finals. Has anyone ever won? No. Both teams lost.

And it choked. Yeah. Both teams lost from winners. Damn. Yeah. I think that's true. Wait, so they made it out of the open bracket and then made it the finals through winners? And then lost.

Damn. They kind of got steamrolled, too. Like 6-0. But I think it was 6-1. I don't know. That's crazy. Yeah. Yeah.

But they did play really, really well, but just rises. I feel like I always, I have faith in, like, the, like, aches. I always thought it was, like, good. Yeah. And, well, certain people, there's just certain people. people that like stick out to me like I feel like aches will always be good I feel like parasite will always be good yeah but I could I could be wrong because I don't I don't keep up with the game I don't know if I have no idea what parasites doing you could be trash yeah but like

certain people that I used to watch back in the day I feel like you could just tell like oh they have it yeah like they like like karma like you knew always good yeah it's always going to be good Formones always going to be good. Yeah. Skump. Always going to be good. Yeah. Then you wonder, like, are there,

there's people like that in Halo as well, but they've all retired, except for fucking... Lethal. Runch. Runch box. Lethal. Always knew lethal would be good.

Yeah. Isn't it weird that I've never seen lethal play a Halo except for Halo 5? I don't even know. Really? Yeah, it's the first time I've ever watched them play. Wait. Did you age two a?

Did we not have to be? anyone like recording us in h2a nobody cared i made i made halo popping i don't care what anybody i'll say it's not popping it was though whenever it was you mike cleat and stellar halo was popping yeah and that was us we did that shit yeah and then there was uh the new optic halo team yeah they were popping too. Yeah. But they had to win events to be popping. Yeah.

You guys lost it. Yeah. We lost. Still ran shit. Yeah. I don't know. Back when I used to get supported. And this will work.

Now people just shit on you. Nah, they don't even shit about me. They just forgot. Now they just don't care. Which is worse. Yeah. It is worse.

It really is worse to like not even get shit on. to not have like a good or bad but just to be like they're just more worried about other shit it's like it's a worst spot to be but people stop talking about it that's when you need to worry yeah it is and then have anxiety and then anxiety attack full circle

oh man but who knows who knows what halo what halo will turn into if Halo Online I'm back If Halo 6 I'll be so

I'll be like so confident of being like Good Being able to compete With a keyboard and mouse Just because I know none of them Like use keyboard and mouse As often as I do If Halo 6 is back to

Basic Movement Would you try? I'll never back Obviously you're never I'm retired You're never back It's like asking It's like delusional

people asking you have Big T is going to compete again. Like I know you're not going to compete. But would you play it? Would you make videos? If Halo 6 was on... Would you fuck around and play some eights? Would you play... Would you play...

Probably. What is it called? MLG playlist? Ranked play arena? Would you play arena? I mean, I definitely play. Because, I don't know. It'd just be... Like, I almost played when people said...

people were just starting to play MCC again and like play Halo 3. Like they're doing that now. Yeah. I think like people are signing on MCC. I honestly think you would get more viewers doing that than you would do it playing Fortnite. Probably. You should fucking do it. But I don't want to play that.

You don't even want. I feel like you don't think you want to play. I'm not probably get shit on. Yeah. I will actually. Yeah. Because I haven't played Halo and I haven't played Halo since I quit playing Halo. I know. You played it. You literally played it once and that was with a

TJ? Yeah. And you for half. No, like you held half the controller. That was the last time I played I half played Halo 5. I didn't even actually play the game. I just held half of their controller. That's what I'm saying. But I think people would enjoy, enjoy watching you relearn how to play Halo. Yeah. Like even like with your Halo buddies. Rather, I mean. I think I have a bad way at looking at things because I look at it and I'm like, okay, yeah, we get on. We play Halo weights with like some of my old buddies.

And then, but then I think it's like, what's the point? Yeah. We don't, I don't get like a rank or like a like, like, I like chasing the like rank. Yeah, I know. Which is why it's like impossible for me to give you advice because I know what your thought process is. Yeah. Because I'm the same way, but I can push people. past it and you can't.

Like with, like, people, people will say shit in my stream, like, you ever thought about playing? I don't know, like, what game's popping right now, but, like, you ever thought about, you should play, like, God of War, last of us on stream. I'm just like, what, I don't, I haven't, I don't even know what that is. I know it's a game, but I don't, like, know anything about it. I don't have an interest. I've never, ever been into, like, story mode games. Yeah.

Like even way back when Fabel was on like fucking PlayStation 1 or something, like even stuff like that. And I just could never get into. I was always competitive. It had to be like a multiplayer and we're playing against each other. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. I think if, I mean, I've already told you this, but I think if you were ever to even try it just to see how your stream would react, the last of us is definitely the one that you need to play.

See, that's why I thought you were going to, I was thinking about HALA. Oh. I was thinking you were going to say, if you were going to try, one, you should try the MCC and stream on MCC. Where you definitely. I want to play fucking, I would, if HALO Online was allowed to be played right now, I'd play it in stream online. Yeah.

But. Fuck, man. That would be disgusting. Yeah. I'm pissed, actually. If I could play a narrow CPS on HALO Online with. keyboard and mouse and just be posted top middle with a sniper. See, that shit right there.

That's how I know you don't understand how much you love Halo. You just said a sentence that I haven't ever heard you say. Like, whenever you call out, like, dude, whenever you call out, or like jokingly call out, you always say like the most fluid callouts ever. And that's how I know him just like, man, he doesn't even know how much he misses it. I just played that shit a lot. You're always like top mid looking at this one. Grab a sniper up in five

You always say shit like that I'm just like what? It's just I don't know It's instilled in me forever I guess It just has to be like I don't know I was just it felt like I was playing Halo It felt like I was playing Halo again

But I didn't deal with like the shitty parts Of yeah Well for Halo 3 the shitty parts of Halo 3 Because the shitty parts of Halo 3 was playing it online Yeah And like how it felt like the connection was always bad and it just it felt like I had it just felt totally different on land I'm like so not a halo kid that I didn't even know you had to lead

your shots I had no I had no idea and then that's kind of on land too but that's what made I guess that's what made halo three so or halo online so crazy it had halo online or a halo three oh three online yeah I know that's what I've heard I hated that shit I never even played it I only played reach online. That's why we'd fucking fly across the country and land. Dude, that shit was so ahead of its time. Yeah. We would fly across the country and land at Mr. P's house. Halo and smash. Dude, what's crazy is like no one got salaries back then. The prize money was shit. It's like, I don't even know how I afforded to even buy a plane ticket. Dude, if I could have been playing Halo 3 back then and getting like

3,000 a month to play Halo 3 with like getting third place prize money be like 7K each or something it's like Jesus what's just happening now yeah but was that that was like

if you would have told somebody if you would have told your group of friends if you had told like Walshian Ogre 2 back then that you know people are going to get $7,000 for coming in third, you know, 10 years from now. You're going to get $35,000 for winning the event. Yeah.

And you're all going to be salaried at, uh, whatever, like $3,500. And you can just make a YouTube video. Yeah. And people are going to want to watch you. Dude, if you could post, this is, hey, give them a picture of the main stage. This is what your main stage is going to look like. dude like they would it wouldn't have made any sense

like because Halo that's what I've always said this like on the console side of things Halo and smash at the same time simultaneously started esports and then you know obviously Gears people are probably upset about that

because Gears was in there too but Gears has been so rocky throughout the years I saw I would say I didn't know anything I don't know anything about Smash, but I just know it was like, yeah, like started it kind of. Halo, Smash.

Trying to think of like what else I'd throw in there with it for like starting Eastport's Halo Smash. Do you remember the old MLG events? They would just literally have. CS. I remember hearing about like, I'd say Halo Smash, CS, and Starcraft. Starcraft for sure, yeah. Because when Halo, I guess, was on its decline from,

MLG, StarCraft was like popping. Yeah. StarCraft was huge. League did it really like start popping until like after Black Ops 2, right? Like it hasn't been, they haven't been doing this forever. I don't think like League of Legends obviously biggest Eastport now. It didn't start popping until like after Black Ops 2 right? Like it didn't start like actually maybe it was maybe it was around that time. But I feel like it was popping when I was.

I just don't know. What year was Black Opsie? It was 2013. I think I was playing No, it was I think it was pop in then. It was. Just not as big

Because I remember I played like the first two seasons. Why did it get like, is it just me or did it just get more quiet in here? Yeah. Something turn off. Yeah. But I played the first two seasons

of League of Legends. like addictively. Yeah. Like my teammates hated it because I was playing like they'd be like scrims at nine and I would start up a league game at 850 knowing it takes 45 to like an hour to finish.

But I played like the first two seasons and this was probably like I'm thinking 2010, 2011. For real? And even then it was like like do you know like hot shot hot shot gizzi is yeah who else i am i am a cutie pie i don't know who that is they're like huge streamers yeah um double lift yeah yeah like i've known about those guys since then that's crazy like they they were popping back then to um to i think it's been

popping for a while i just remember i remember loading up the uh the game battle screen in like 2000 fucking 10 2011 2010 2010 2011 probably somewhere around there and like the first on the front page is just um interview with muteu king and it was like holy shit like that and then i would like watch it and i'd be like wow smash is like crazy and then fucking seven years later i see the smash documentary and i'm just like what like i still one thing i've watched it well it's i I doubt. I mean, I doubt anybody. Because, like, it has, like, a cult following, and I'm definitely a part of that. Because, like, if you get invested to the story, you're just like, holy shit, I want to know more. And then it's episodic the documentary is. So there's, like, nine episodes.

And if you total them all together, it's like a four and a half hour documentary. There should be a documentary on MLG. There should. Because I feel like MLG was, like, that rock band that started in a garage. And then now they're fucking Metallica. But and then all these, I feel like all these other companies kind of just like got investments from billionaires or something. And then like kind of bought their way in.

But MLG like, they started it. Like they were there fucking 2002. Yeah. Like if there should be a documentary. Sundance really really did that show. A documentary on MLG pucket, clap and Sunday.

Dude, I, I, I, I saw Puckett today on the Overwatch stream, and he's just like, main casting Overwatch now. And I'm just like, he's the, he is the goat. Like, if there was a Mount Rushmore of e-sports, Puckett is on that shit. He could, he can take, he can be the representative of console e-sports, because he's on there. Pucket, Sundance. I mean, yeah, Sundance, maybe. But then you're, then you're dedicating two of the four, Mount

rush more things to MLG. Yeah. Who else would be in that? I don't know. Anybody on like there's got to be somebody. I don't know people in league or CS like that. There's got to be somebody. Yeah. I'm sure there's someone. Maybe, but I'm just saying like the MLG is just like,

I don't know. I'm sure it's not the biggest. But it's like the pioneer of, those. Definitely are swords. Yeah. But that's what I'm saying. I think at this, I think,

I think console and, and PC, esports, like started at the same time on different, I would say the same time, but somebody's going to get pissed at that. No, we started first.

No, I don't care. I'm just saying, like, it grew together parallel, but in different worlds. And I think MLG was console esports. And then I don't,

I don't know who did, like the, well, I'm pretty sure they picked up Starcraft, like when it first dropped. When it first dropped? I thought it was like later on. Because their most successful seasons were definitely

Halo 2. I'm trying to think. Because I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I forgot it. The Dr. Pepper shit started happening and like all that. Like that was when it was like okay. I think Halo 2 was a Red Bull. Halo 3 was Dr.

Pepper. I wonder how much they got paid and shit for that for all that stuff. Probably nothing. Yeah, probably. like T squared to be on Dr. Pepper bottles. I wonder how much he... I forgot about that. Probably not.

Probably nothing. Probably like a month's salary for one of these boys. Yeah, but back then it was probably like the biggest shit ever. Like, oh, I'm good. Like, the whole team's coming with. Right? I'm buying. We're set.

Dude, I remember going to the straight house in like 2011. Yeah. Me, APG. Who was the team? I think me, APG, Demon D, and Destin. You don't know who Destin is. But we went to the straight house and, like, land against him. And that was like T-Square, it was like the infamous team,

like T-squared, snipe down, Elamite, Legit. That's like the straight squad. Most people remember. That's the straight-ripping montage squad, right? I think so, yeah. Yeah, I think it is. And then we went there and, like, people didn't really, we were like a top, people looked at us, I guess.

like a top eight team. Yeah. But like straight was like number one, number one, number two. And we're just like, people looked at us like we're, not practice nobs for them, but just like a team they're landing against

are going to beat us. And then we went there and just not shit on them, but we like beat them every single series. For real? Yeah, at least like most series. They might have beat us like one series. How did you guys play in the tournament? I think we got third.

What do they get? Um, I'm not. sure. That might have been like they're, they might have like started falling after that. Damn.

And then I, you're the fall of email? It's so weird. I stayed at T-square's house for like two weeks randomly. Just me, him.

It's like girlfriend. I was like 18 at the time. We were like going to bars because they just know the owners. What the hell? It's fucking weird. Fuck. Dude.

Halo's fucking awesome. God. It's, our halo is awesome. Yeah. There's, there's a new optic member Teradactyl.

Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. But I figured it was something we should talk about. It is definitely something we're going to bring up. Because when's the last time there's a new like Sprat? Sprat, yeah.

Sprat. It was Pomaz Sprat. Not Teradadol. Yeah. So Teradadadadadal was definitely the first pickup since the acquisition. Well, Jack. But Jack doesn't. Jack doesn't count because we were working on Jack prior to the acquisition.

So Teradactyl was the first pickup, I guess, by infinite. I don't know how it's like, I don't know how to like phrase it. But it's like the first person that like, hex, you know, wasn't like, hey, we should get this person. They just like, they're starting to pick up more streamers and, and, you know, expand the content. And so Teradacta was the first person. She's really cool. Yeah. I was kind of, I wouldn't say nervous, but I was like weary about me.

meeting her like what she gonna be like yeah like i was afraid she was going to be like a in the in her like in a shell kind of like super shy yeah not what do and bringing her on as like a content creator it's like how are we gonna make i was like how's this going to work with videos she's she's gonna be in videos with us you know i don't want because no one ever i guess met her in person yeah and on stream she's like she's honestly like disgusting at at sniping at least And I was like, is she just nasty? I didn't know what her personality was like. But were you there when we went out to eat?

No. I was the last person she met. Oh, it was me, her. Midnight. Who the hell else was there? I don't know, but we went out to eat and kind of Roger was there. I think like two other people. But we went out to eat and it was like just got to know her a little bit.

And she seems like mature and, I guess like well-spoken doesn't seem like too shy. Yeah. Yeah, she definitely is. Like I had never met her and then we went downtown to like they needed somebody to, they needed a body to put the, the new apparel line that's about to drop. Is that how they worded it to you?

No, they said, you're going to be a bot. They're saying you're going to model. You want to model downtown? It's going to be you and taradactal. And I was like, yeah. then I looked at myself in the mirror and I said I'm not a model yeah I just I need a they just need I need a haircut bad me and you both I think I need one more than you though I'm getting to a point though

what if I just don't get a haircut ever that's kind of where I'm at because it's like I went through a few weeks where I'm like this is disgusting but if I like if I shower comb my beard and shit do my hair. I'm like, this didn't look too bad. Yeah, that's how I feel. Like, it's like a new, it's like a new kind of look. Yeah. But then I get, I get like, six hours into the day and I look at myself and I'm like, this got to go. I've been up for like 24 hours and I'm like, this is disgusting. Yeah, I'm a waste of space. Like, yeah, it is, it should be the same for your shower. But when you ever you open your shower is your mirror. There's the right thing. I open my shower and it's just me naked.

And I'm just like, God, help me. Fuck. I'm like, I need a lot. I need more than hair cut. I need a life makeover. What are we at right now? Because we have, um, since we miss last week, we'll do another podcast in a couple of days. Yeah, yeah.

We'll definitely. We'll catch up. And I'm going to refine my, my schedule. I don't know if you can make that commitment to your schedule, but I'm refining my schedule definitely very soon. What do you mean refining your schedule? Like fixing my sleep schedule, stream schedule, upload schedule. I can actually schedule it all out.

Yeah, that's why I like told Mike I'd be down for this wake up at 9 a.m. shit. And if I don't make it, I'll just get verbal. So I guess that will help me a little bit make it there. Yeah. So if I'm back on this good schedule, my schedule has been trashed. Yeah, save. Like, I just caught the end of the sun tonight, and I think it sets at like 7 p.m. But I went and got food at, there's probably like, damn, might have been like seven.

But I was like, damn, it's so nice. I look at Jude's Instagram. Dogs are like playing and shit. Like real life people. 11 hours ago. And I'm just like, damn, it was it. Even when I was getting food, I'm like, it's such a nice day out. and I missed it all.

And I felt like, I've kind of like felt rejuvenated alive a little bit. Yeah. I'm like, you know, life ain't too bad. And then I get back in my house and I'm in a fucking corner. No sunlight can hit my apartment.

And I'm just like, fuck. Yeah. All right. Well, I think that's going to do it for, for the flycast. Hope you guys enjoyed.

Sorry about the people watching on YouTube. I don't know what you're watching right now, It's not us. They just probably fell asleep. Yeah. We'll definitely make sure that for our next podcast, which will be this week at some time, we'll have the battery fully charged and ready to go. Yeah, hopefully.

And you'll see another podcast here in a couple days. Yeah. Back at it. Wait, I just thought of something. What? Do we have outro music?
