Really?
Back there?
Like by the library?
Oh shit.
Alexis and I used to walk Mace before he passed away over there.
Oh.
Appreciate that, man.
Appreciate it.
Anyway, all right, welcome to another episode of the podcast.
Oh, my God, you're loud.
Welcome to another episode of the fight.
Well, come.
We just got one camera today.
Just look at Matt, and he goes.
Welcome to another episode
of the Flycast episode
Who gives a frick?
Who gives a freak?
It's gay month
One's into chat if you're gay.
Absolutely.
We love all of our gays that watch.
Listen.
If you're listening right now
And you're gay,
I'm sorry.
I said watch first.
I meant listen and watch all y'all.
Yeah, we appreciate everyone who tunes in.
It doesn't matter if you're gay, straight.
They,
them, who, where, when, why.
black, yellow, purple.
White.
Don't forget whites.
It is white boy summer.
I feel like last year was lesbian summer.
I think this year's gearing up to be a little bit more.
What made last year lesbian summer?
Well, like Charlie XX or XX dropped her album.
Billy Eilis dropped her album.
It was a lot of, it was very, it was very,
I think everybody was kind of getting over the rap beef,
like the Kendrick Drake thing.
And so they needed something lively for the summer.
And so I think it was...
A little more chill.
Yeah, chill, but also not like too...
Not too chill.
Just like...
Just like...
Lesbian summer is more of like...
I guess maybe it was.
No, last year was for sure.
I think it was...
And now it's...
I called it too.
I knew it was coming.
Now it's gay boy summer?
No.
White boy summer.
Oh, white boy summer.
Yeah, white boy summer.
I think like...
What was the last time we had a summer?
It's been a while.
It's been a while.
But I think white boy summer is coming back.
But let's not worry about that.
now because, you know, I don't want to, I don't want to trump gay month.
Well, you also don't want to throw me off what I've been doing.
Are you, I'm locked in.
You start saying white boy summer, I start heading outside.
I'm getting tan drinking.
What about gay month?
Don't get me started.
Okay.
All right.
And you kind of already have.
It reminded me of the, like, some scuff house days and some, like, do I, do you know, I've
had some girlfriends that were like, you might be gay.
Yeah.
Remember I talked to a girl that texted you and thought I was gay for you, and that's why she left me?
Wait, say that again.
Do you remember that?
No.
It's going to come back to me, though.
I was talking.
I feel like I do kind of remember it.
I was talking to a girl.
She came down here and we hung out for a day, but then she hit on you the whole day.
And so I was like, oh, like if this is what, or it felt like she was hitting on you.
Wait, was that the girl with the...
And the
That was that her?
I think
I think so.
You know what I'm talking about?
I think yeah,
I think I do know what you're talking.
Yes,
it was.
It was?
Yes,
it was.
Okay,
well,
I'm not,
I wasn't flirting with her.
Or maybe I was.
Maybe I was.
I think,
well,
I don't know if you were,
but she just like flirting.
It's just when I drink.
I put out,
sometimes I get into this zone of
being,
what's the word I'm looking for?
You're not flirting, but you're,
um,
charming.
What?
Sometimes I would just be,
you're charming when you drink?
Sometimes.
I,
I'd like to think so.
No,
no,
you weren't playing with her.
She was just kind of like grab,
we went to like a club and she was just like,
go,
she was like doing her own thing,
which I was like,
oh shit,
all right.
And so I was like,
well,
is probably not going to go anywhere.
If you're,
if I,
I mean,
it wasn't anyways.
If I fly you out here and then you go hang out with other people that I know or that I don't even know because she was like,
go making a rounds around the club.
I was like,
oh, okay.
Well, this isn't,
isn't for me.
And then I didn't.
So I didn't,
I just kind of said our goodbyes and I didn't text her whenever she got home.
And then you told me like,
in glasses.
You told me like two months later.
You were like, yo,
the way, I need to ask you something.
Because you told me that that girl hit you up and said, hey, is Davis gay?
Do you remember that?
I do kind of remember that, yeah.
I mean, it might have been because...
What?
Yeah, I actually do remember that.
I don't remember how the conversation went, but I do sort of remember that.
I guess maybe because she visited, then went back and you guys just, what, never talked again?
Never talked again, yeah.
Well, I mean, was that even a thought in your head?
If I was gay?
No.
If you were going to like, because I feel like a lot of times you know just off like one hangout
or even just like priorly knowing someone, you're like, all right, they're down to hang.
We're being a little flirty.
They're down to hang out or fly out, whatever.
But you already know, like, but this ain't going to go anywhere.
Or do you kind of give everything a chance?
I feel like I know off like first
First impression
First or second impression
I'm like okay there would actually be potential
That was like first impression
That was like I mean we had been talking
Not like
Dude I was just like
I just
If you're gonna be a social butterfly I'm fine with that
But like
At least come back home like come back home every once in
I mean that it just yeah
Come back around and visit
If I was in bro I'm the
same I've been I'm the same way I um if I get hints even like relationship relationships I've been in
or if I'm like talking to a girl and it doesn't even have to be like I like I like
flirting and shit and then I see her to the kind of doing like roundabouts and then it goes from like
wait I thought it was just us and you're attached to me to just like oh now I I'll see you're like
wandering around talking to this person, this guy, knows this group of girls.
I don't know.
That should always stress me out.
I definitely am like, I guess you could call it like jealous.
I mean, people just instantly will label something like that, like jealous or insecure.
But I mean, if that's what it is, I guess that is me.
Because that really fucking is me.
I can't do the, even now the single, I wouldn't even say date.
hating life.
But just the single,
just the single life
when I go out now and
everyone's just such a like
whore.
And I don't know, I don't know where
my type used to be like
I wanted this, I wanted a more
social girl that like, not went out,
but I always wanted like a more social girl.
Not necessarily like a hermit.
someone who say I could bring to Cess Place and she's I don't got to she's not attached to my hip
right shit like that um but lately it's like the lately I don't know bro I'm I'm I almost feel like
I need I'm just not like I don't even really care about fucking anymore like I'm not like I haven't
been on the dating apps because like that's what dating apps are for they're fucking apps yeah
they're just fuck apps um well at least I feel like 90%
of people kind of get it.
Like if you're down to meet up,
it's not saying you're going to fuck that night,
but it's like, well, I don't know.
Some people, some people maybe have met their person, but.
I like the stories of like the couple that,
like, I saw like a tweet one time that was like,
my best friend has been dated,
dated a guy for five years,
married him.
They were married for two years.
And now they have two kids together.
And his,
his name is still Brian Tender in her phone.
Like that's kind of cute.
Yeah, that's kind of cute.
It's, I feel like this day and age, it's perfectly fine.
I feel like back in the day, if you met someone on the internet or like a dating app or a dating website.
Oh, you'd get, back then it was dating websites, not even dating apps.
But now it's obvious.
Yeah.
Christian Mingle.
Yeah.
The Warzone boys are doing, I can hear them behind us.
Behind us.
24-7.
Outside of our headphones.
24-7 stream.
It reminds me, I'm not going to lie, I walked in here.
I took a picture. I sat down at the setup.
Yeah.
First off, before I even sat down, walked in here, took a picture.
I was kind of just like standing there, just looking.
And then next thing I know, Joe's fucking alarm goes off.
And I was like, oh, man.
Oh, the days.
And I was like, great, someone's awake that I can talk to.
So I, like, said what's up?
He hops right up out of bed.
I'm like, ready to go.
And I was like, yo, we're about to do a flycast soon.
so if you guys are still sleeping like this it might piss you off he was like nah bro we're about
to be up set alarm for 10 wake right up go shower hop on like what the fuck i'm like what time are you
guys going to sleep he's like uh like four or five six it's like what the fuck
i mean they're getting better sleep than we did that is true because they're sleeping at the
same time they're sleeping at the same time i wonder if any of them snore text the speech 25
dollars wakes you up that's the worst like oh no 25 oh no that's so I'm so mad it's just me so horny me so horny
l-all-all-all-all-all-all-all-all-all-all-all-all-all-all- there was one that joe said it was what was it
um I don't know brain's not working but there there was some donation he said people would spam
because it was just the most annoying one that's actually funny we got to get text to
well first off fucking PTSD
seeing that yeah
um
I was I was I went on Z Laner stream and I was like chat
this is kind of like and I was gonna say nostalgic I was like actually it's kind of like PTSD
though it was like what like there's certain moments that are gonna be
like in 2017 I was like this is the worst year of my life
but like now looking back at it I'm like 2017 was great
sort of but like
hurrying it, I was like, bro, I might just like, this ain't for me, man.
I just don't like have what it takes.
I might just move.
It was like that kind of vibe.
But now looking back at it, same with during the race to prestige, I was like, I fucking
hate everyone.
I hate everyone here.
Fuck this.
I can't sleep.
It was this.
The sleep is the hardest part.
Like I'm talking like an hour of sleep.
And then I'm talking like three hours, but I'm waking up 20 times in the three hours.
like just horror and then by the time you're on day four day five it's just the sleep deprivation
on top of the stress of being because it's not like we're just like up and then we're just
chilling like we're like oh thanks for much for we got this challenge oh we got to do this
workout oh we got a fucking tape tush to a wall and and we're screaming and food challenge and it's
just on top of that all the sleep deprivation it was just during it thank god for the
sub trains because obviously hit hit hit uh my highest sub count ever which was insane like 7,000
plus so obviously enjoyed all that enjoyed even even at the end when we were doing our
interviews I remember being like a little emotional I was like this is one of those moments man
this was one of those moments and now but during it a little bit I was like bro this is so stupid
I was like people are the time time slots are pissing me off sleep's pissing me off
motherfuckers waking me up
um
I don't know
I uh
I look back at it
and well my point is during the
during it
I don't know if I
during it I did like it
but I put on this persona like I was just super
piss because of this sleep but afterwards
now thinking back it's one of my favorite moments
ever no that was so much fun
there's a is there any moment like that for you
an optic to where like
like you look back in infinite days
and you're like, God, those were so...
Low-key, I love those days.
Low-key, I love those days?
Like how I'm like, God, the race supersedes were so annoying.
Low-key, that was a vibe.
God, 2017, Scuff House was so AIDS.
Yeah, I don't think that about Scuff House at all.
Cuff House was awesome.
I don't...
You know what?
You know, not like a day that was all...
That I look back and I'm like,
you know what? That was great.
but the days that I don't even really remember like I forget that it even happened was that like weird optic house we lived in for a year.
Yeah.
That was a with like with the 18 million bugs in the garage.
Like what the hell?
Like how did that even happen?
What did we do?
Was there a schedule for like content?
You so we had that.
I guess I was in most content again.
We had that.
but we had the optic plays room.
So like, who lived in that house?
Me, you, Bose, Flame, Will Aaron?
Okay, so six people.
And so we had one little, like, optic plays room.
People would come over, I think Raj was still shooting at that time before he went to thieves.
And so we would do, like, trivia videos and, like, gameplay videos and stuff.
but I don't really remember doing much.
Don't remember too.
Don't remember doing too much.
I was vlogging.
I was vlogging and TST had just started.
You were doing GTA RP streams.
I did that for a little bit.
A few months.
I don't know.
But it's like besides that what else.
I remember quitting Addy for like six months that year.
Really?
And that's why I got into GTA and drinking beers.
Drinking beers.
That's pretty much how that.
Because once I stopped taking Annie, I was like, all right, well, I need, like, I can't play competitively.
This is just, I have no, have no focus, not locked in at all.
This is just not going to work.
So then figured out GTA actually had like, I got lucky because I feel like I started, I didn't go, I didn't get on a, a server with, like a Zuma type of server or something.
Like, I joined a Randino server with Randino people, and they turned out to be, like, really good.
Like, there was this one guy called, Bill, named Billy.
His name was, like, sketchy grandmas.
But he was the big, like, he just had, like, some fat dude, no shirt on, just, like, a hillbilly.
And he was just such a good.
Like, there was so much potential for him to become, like, a big, bigger RP player.
Like, he was just, like, a drunk, like, just, uh, it was just a perfect RP player.
So I got lucky with that.
Like I instantly started.
Like everyone knew who I was and they aren't streaming.
So the whole world's basically revolving around what can happen on Maniac Street.
Like I'm getting robbed, run over, fucking randomly shot.
They're initiating me into gangs, but then they're turning on me or like just holding me for ransom, shit like that.
That shit sounds so fun.
But yeah, I got lucky with the RP stuff.
I just don't know
obviously GTA 6 coming out
in the next 10 years
I just don't know if I would do
Do you think you would ever
Like you look at Zuma shit
And he's like
Eh what the fuck's going on over here
Like do you think you could do a RP
But that's like that's almost just him
I could do it solo
Could you role play?
Yeah I think I could
Like as what
I don't know
That's what I don't want to do
I feel
Not that I think it's cringe
I feel cringe when I roll play
Because I don't think I'm good at like
Impersonations or like
Fill in some
So like let's roll play now
Let's say you're you and I'm like a sexy nurse
Trying to give you a like a colonoscopy
All right
Actually let's come up with something else
Yeah
A sexy nurse giving me a colonoscopy
Yeah
I'm the wide receiver
Yeah
Yeah
All right, well
Well, we'll come on with something about
But yeah
I
No, but see, that's what I'm saying
We gotta work on that
Yeah, no, we don't have to work on it
There's too much
It's too much pressure
Yeah, like I just don't know
What character I would tap into
For the future of
Optic GTA 6
I wish we had like
Either a Minecraft server
Or a GTA server
That like was only optic people
and like we had to play it
like everyone played on it
like every Tuesday night
or something like that
like that shit would be so fun
tired of other people
having successful shit going for them
yeah it is kind of
it does kind of suck
I wish everyone was kind of like
like broken shit
yeah
because then
it'd be like yo
Minecraft on these days
GTA on these days
we're all in everything together
well you're in the want party
well what about my 80,000
and views.
If I'm playing with you guys.
Zoom has Challenger's events going on.
Meal team fix.
And then boches.
Other people just got other shit going on.
I'm my streamed in the aisle.
I got a scrim.
Collinini.
We're trying to go for a three-peat.
Like, fucking Christ.
Find some free time for the low tiers.
We need you.
to bring us up take your views we get rich we've been working on this for 10 years yeah
we're gonna figure it out i've been working around these halo boys bro apg
apg retired and and joined optic at the perfect time there yeah there was literally no this guy
i see there wasn't a plan oh he always says there was a plan to join optic but this was not i don't think
this was in his. You think it was like just a plan?
Like no watch party. Yeah, like God's plan.
But there was no like, yo, if I
retire, there was no talks of like, yo, if I retire,
we should do a watch party. Like I
brand, I feel like there's someone else trying to get the credit
for it. I think maybe
that just might have been in your own head.
But like, I talked
to, I talked to,
I think I talked to my chat about it.
Because I started watching more halo.
And I was like, in my chat's like, yo, you should have a
watch party like scum. Because I would
always just only joined scump for the random ass halo watch parties and they'd be like on discord and
I'm just sitting there like this is stupid um not stupid but like this is just you know scump has or
cod has a whole official thing and then like oh a halo event let's hop in a discord but we're
really only talking when optics playing so it's like when they're not they're going to go play ranked
and it's just for me that's just not what I do because I don't I'm not. I'm not. I'm not
not playing cod and it doesn't benefit me to play cod so it's like i have to figure out what works for me
yeah and and and capitalize on that so i was like okay so scum's got the cod watch party i can basically
what shout out the skump set laid the blueprint um and uh just just ran with that to be on it the
the optic watch party blueprint just ran with that took it to halo and then i was thinking all right
so like who could i make this work with um i heard there was eight beat
The APG, he was retired as a player,
but he was thinking about coaching.
But I randomly hit him up.
And I think it was for like the first K-San event or something.
I was like, yo, if KSan can get us a setup there,
would you want to go there and do a watch party?
And he was like, fuck yeah.
But he was also like, well, shit,
I wish you would have texted me yesterday
because I just told Faze of him.
I'm probably down to be their coach.
But he was.
was like but if anything i'm gonna just try to not be their coach now because i want to do that i want
to do the watch parties so i mean long story short um me being abg and obviously optic production
shit figured out a way for us to start doing watch parties and it's you know the day we sort
of the first day we sort of did one i think we were doing some shit before the event but then
at the at the first event um after that it was just kind of
APG he's been 100%
Dude like he's been a hundred percent
Into this shit he's streaming eight nine
Ten hours a day
The APG show he's on it he's on right at nine a m
For those that don't know what's been going on in halo
Since our boys won the last event
There's been like a huge roster change roster
Mania between like the
Third and Fourth team yeah we have a halo pot after this it's gonna
Oh yeah
APG's like he just loves this shit
And the
The central
hub for all of your roster
mania news is Twitch.tv
slash appear gangster or is APG.
And it's
I keep seeing like
community vids on
YouTube of like compilations of like what all
it's happening and 80%
90% of the video is just APG's
bond. He needs to start copyrighting this shit. I know
because they're getting like 40,000 views. That's what I'm saying.
It needs to start copyrighting this shit.
I'd say you can post it but I'm getting I'm getting
I'm getting a majority share.
I'm getting a cut.
Because like APG, someone needs to do that just for APG.
But I just, I'm in the same boat as him where it's like, who do I get?
Yeah.
Do I trust them?
Are they sitting in my streams all day?
If they are, how much do I pay them?
I don't, I don't know what to do with that kind of stuff.
Yeah.
Like, I would feel like I'm like, just underpaying someone like, damn, they're in my stream
for eight hours and I'm giving them like, what's fucking how like, how much would you even give
them to like find shit to clip or is it like do they get paid on finding good clips or like i don't
know is it is it a just monthly for sure thing i don't fucking know yeah um but i'm because
apg with saying it on stream like he needs to people be taking what he's saying throwing up
clips get 10 20 30 40 000 views what's happening what's happening right now with the with the
LVT League.
Apparently there's a lot of,
so if you guys don't know,
because some people somehow don't,
there's HCS, the Halo Championship
H Series.
Halo Championship Series.
And then under that
is LVT,
LVT Halo.
So LVT Halo hosts,
not only do they help host
events,
because they have their own little section,
commentators, they're covering different streams,
maybe even some of the open bracket,
but they have analysts,
a girl that hosts,
casters, they have like,
like there's like HCS with their main production,
LVT with their main production,
BTH with watch party,
watch party, me APG and our production.
So that's basically the three things cover.
and Halo, there's obviously other fucking streamers.
Dude.
And shit.
I know.
We love all Halo streamers.
We love all our streamers and content creators.
We don't care if you're a speed runner or player or a streamer.
We love you.
But let's just say that's the big three.
But LVT, basically LVT after this past event,
it was announced that there's going to now be a league,
almost like CDL, how they have matches every weekend or something.
Right.
I don't know if it's just going to be the weekend, but.
I don't know the details,
but they basically announced
like the players
are going to have to start playing in these matches
at the end of these matches
in three months.
There's going to be a final tourney.
There's 50K prize pool for the tourney,
blah, blah, blah.
And immediately,
formal is
Cs sat and goes,
50K prize pool for three months
of your attorneys
and getting you views.
And like, obviously it's not like
you get first place,
you get 50K.
It's broken down.
in between probably top eight like probably not a not so great payment for a three month
1500 a person or something yeah like 1500 a person for or maybe like 2,500 yeah probably yeah probably
maybe like 2,500 a person or like 3k a person for for three months of matches right for them to
get all the views on and I don't know if there was something about they I could be wrong here
but they might have said like the players can't stream it.
Yeah.
So everyone has to go to LVT.
Right.
It's like the CDL shit.
Like the players can't stream their fucking matches.
Right.
I could be wrong with that.
They could be able to stream.
But I thought I heard something like that.
So it would be,
it would be great for me.
I was excited.
I was like,
fuck yes.
Make them work.
Put up more matches,
more watch parties.
I'm fucking down.
I'll drive here every,
any evening, whatever
or afternoon,
morning.
But, so for me,
I'm applauding it.
I'm supporting it.
I want it to happen.
I'm hype.
But then foremost like,
fuck, no.
We're going to get this changed.
We're not even going to play in it.
But apparently they like have to play in it.
Or it's like,
why?
You completely,
I think it's for like points or a seed or something.
Even though it's like something different.
But there was like a reason why
people would like have to play in it.
There's incentive for the players to play in it.
And I think it revolves around points or seeds or something.
So Formal was in his chat arguing with the LVT guy in chat.
And which already I'm like, bro, you can't be in Formal's chat.
He wasn't really arguing.
He was like, hey, man, whatever you think, let me know.
Like, I just want to make this good.
So it's like he has a good attitude for it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
can't be typing in formal's chat.
One, I think it's unprofessional.
Give me back, my friend.
You know what I want.
Don't give it to him, scum.
And Hector's going to kill us.
Why'd you give it to him?
Because it's the cash app card.
I can decline any suspicious transaction
before I'm charged and even use the nifty card lock
feature the second we get out of here.
That's money.

because when you're typing in chat
people are like
who's this fucking
this guy's typing in chat
and other chatters are verbaling you
formal's talking verbaling you
it's just you're just getting fucking bombarded
so I just I don't like the fact
that he was talking in chat and stuff
I would rather you say if I'm
if I'm the owner of LVT or something
or if investor in LVT
and then LVT's in Halo chats
talking to formal talking to APG
and someone's been like every single day i'd be like bro stop that shit
maybe getting a call with them or something yeah you there's there's
there's options to talk about this um and like we can hold a meeting go at this time
whatever works for y'all after your all scrims whatever we can hold a meeting we can talk about
it but like sitting in a chat is not going to be a good look for you no matter what you say
doesn't matter if you're sitting there saying like we're down to make it work however we understand
the pros povs like he was saying all the right things like he was saying all the right things
but I'm like it just doesn't matter.
Like formal and his stream are already against,
that's just the, that's just the, what's like the saying?
I don't fucking know.
But that's just how it goes like once a few people start attacking him,
like everyone's just like, oh, this is what we're doing today.
So I don't know, you can't do that.
But apparently there is some issues that a lot of the pro players have issues with.
Formal was pointing out the fact that he,
just feels like he's getting milked.
He pulled a dashy.
It was even like APG and maniac.
I know they want this to happen.
But you're like, no.
I was like, yeah, no, that's true.
I for sure want to milk you.
I mean, realistically, that's just what it is.
I do think the league play system,
I think a league match system is good,
but like I think it's a good addition to stuff.
Like, I don't know.
I don't know if, I don't know.
First of all, I think, I think long weekend tournaments are always going to be better
esports events than weak matches.
But like, if you had like a side league that was every Wednesday night, there's a match
or there's match days every Wednesday night, treat it like a softball, like men's softball
league.
Then I think that works.
But like league matches as the official, as the official like, uh, e sports like tournament side is
just kind of.
So even like you don't like how CD out of it?
No,
no.
Cod was so much more hype when there was a full tournament every weekend.
Like a full online tournament.
That's how you got your points.
That's like the 5Ks and stuff?
Yeah, like the 2Ks and the 5Ks and those like those.
and then you get your points off of that because then you're,
you're hype because your team might win.
Your team might win every weekend.
Your team might win.
And you can also still do matches like on
Wednesdays for like, I don't know exactly how it would work, but like if you want to do
matches you can because it is cool to have like, oh, it's Wednesday night.
You know, maybe the boys are going to play tonight.
But like every single weekend being like, oh, do we have two matches or one match or who's
playing this week?
What are the point standings?
Like all that shit is so much more hype just to watch a tournament.
Yeah.
I mean, I agree.
I don't know what would be best because I do understand the.
the CDL format.
I feel like that, like, it kind of has to be done maybe.
Yeah, I mean, if they're going to do the CDNs to me.
Is it best for viewership?
I don't know, because at times, like, you know, you got shitty matches that no one gives
a fuck about.
But then it's when it's phase, optic thieves.
Right.
People start, you know, those are the actual matches or even surge at this point.
But there's just matches.
People care about matches.
People don't.
If you throw a tournament.
you're bound to see some great shit that day.
Yeah, especially if it's like a Saturday and a Sunday event,
you're bound to see some good stuff.
It just makes it feel more e-sports as well.
It doesn't make it feel like it's trying to be the NFL.
Well, here's the issue is Halo would...
Halo was doing open cups and open qualifiers after the events,
but they would be for the not top four teams.
So it's just like it was just shitty.
oh, and Saturdays, it's basically shitty matches up until like five hours in.
Then it'd be like one good match.
Then it end.
Yeah.
And then Sunday, it's just all the, Sunday's decent, still like good teams, but it's like the five through 10 teams.
And like sometimes there's a team change.
This player didn't play.
This team's going through a roster.
So sometimes it's just like, bro, what are we even watching?
Especially because there's not even.
the top four teams.
And it's just,
because they don't have to play.
They're already qualified for the tournament.
See that and I'm like,
this is stupid.
This is a waste of an online cup.
Like you need these top four teams.
People all day in my chat.
Where's Optic playing?
What's Shopify playing?
What's Phase play?
I just feel like...
Has phase one?
Have a good tournament
every other weekend
online.
That's a full tournament.
And that's all that's all the
make that happen. I agree.
That's the premise. Make it happen.
Keep doing these stupid open cups and land qualifiers,
but make it so the top four team have to fucking play.
Not even that they have to play.
But even the players said they hate playing in those.
Not even have to play. Make it so they want to play in it.
Maybe have the top four in and then have an open qualifier for the other four spots.
And then the next weekend have an 18 tournament with the top eight.
like renegade was like i fucking hate these tournaments
yeah because they have to play
me and you for three hours
for 10 hours before they finally
and it gives a chance for like some rando
like not a rando but say like a tsm
who's like might be better online
right gives them a chance and like we just lost
like optic was losing a monster
one time and it's just like so tourneys like that
they're just like bro this ain't even real this would never
happen at an event
server's laggy this dude's a god online like these events are stupid like they have like that kind of
mentality when it comes to it yeah so i don't know i don't i don't know what the answer is going to be um
but yeah i guess you know what we got i got a halo pot after this apg's fucking ready
he's ready yeah he's ready for this i heard him on stream he was like yeah chat got a got a halo pod
no it's he's so funny he's like i got a halo pod you know i'm blessed
I just want to say, you know, again, thank you to mania.
I'm opt to guys.
He just always, it's just like, I'm, like, just so blessed.
I fucking love this shit.
Like, it just, but, it was like, yeah, I got the Halo pod later.
And, you know, guys, this is going to be a good one, man.
We're talking about everything.
There's a lot to talk about.
You know, I'm probably going to be talking a whole time.
Like, I don't know.
He was just excited to.
It's nice seeing one of my best friends, someone I've known for so long, just, uh,
Especially like when you're on the optic halo team and just the competitive side.
Like it's a good feeling.
But then when you get let go and then your career just like he went from winning or getting second to like top 16 top 12.
Right.
Maybe a top eight.
So it's just that kind of drop off.
It's just like fuck.
What is my future going to look like?
I was kind of worried about fucking I think I don't think it's happened.
I think he landed on his feet.
But people were floating the idea of fucking PJ retired.
Yeah.
I was like, no, dude, no.
That was a thought.
And I'm sure APG will break that down.
I heard about it too.
I'm sure APG will break it down on the drop pod.
But that's not happening.
But I mean, Snakebite's been playing 15, 16 years.
A long time.
Fucking crazy.
And I know these motherfuckers got bread stashed.
I know they were making.
I mean, even from their optic.
salaries keeping all that prize money
streaming
streaming decently consistent the whole
time he's won worlds twice
he won worlds twice he won worlds
one time when it was 250 grand
just yeah so they got money
stashed up but I do be
wondering it's not driving Ferrari's around
I do be wondering even
I'm not going to say what team
but it's rumored that
let's just say a team that's seated
within the top six
their players or their players are getting
paid like $1,000 a month.
Yeah.
Which makes sense.
That makes perfect sense.
I agree.
But.
How are they supposed to make?
I don't even know.
How do you make that fucking money back?
I don't know.
Especially with these lesser name of players.
Like nemesis, I don't know if it is nemesis or not.
But nemesis isn't landing fucking monster deal yet.
Like, Nemesis isn't landing.
How is nemesis doing it?
Yeah.
Some rich fuck over there?
I mean, esports has run off of
rich people milking rich people.
Like, for 90% of esports is run that way.
And then the top businesses, like, have,
have, like, avenues where they can, like, get sponsorships.
Like, do these rich people just think, like,
ah, damn.
A lot of it's like, there went five mil.
But like, uh, whatever.
A lot of it's play money.
Yeah.
Like, how many, how many esports teams are like,
oh, yeah, this top 16 team flew here in a private jet.
Like, you hear it.
about that shit all the time.
And it's because, like, somebody's
got some fucking money.
Or even Nemesis, a top six,
top...
I think... I forget what their seed.
Say a top six, top eight team.
They're flying out here
early, which that's... Flying out
here early, going into an Airbnb
or some shit and, like,
landing another team.
Like, how expensive is that?
They're here for, like, two weeks.
It's got to be so expensive. And I'm just, like, four a
little event, which they're going to get like top six, top eight.
Like, that's just, I don't know how they.
Somebody, it's somebody's passion project.
Somebody's that, that little nemesis, little purple dude.
Yeah.
That's somebody's passion project.
That guy does kind of piss me off.
I kind of fuck with him.
I kind of fuck with him.
I like him.
He pisses me off because I kind of fuck with him.
They need a like keep rolling with that.
Yeah, that little troll like smirky.
And I'm not saying don't follow your passions.
Definitely follow your passions.
But from, from, because I think it's, I think that's what Eastports is.
built off of two.
But like,
I just,
it,
but,
but I think pros,
I think pros are just kind of delusional in a sense.
Like,
you think,
you think,
like,
you think some people in the top,
like,
do you think some Halo kids that make top eight are like,
oh,
now I'm gonna,
now I'm gonna get a salary,
maybe like,
I,
I heard a kid who plays,
I,
no, they don't think that.
They don't.
They probably used to back in,
because salaries were crazy.
back in like the first two years of Halo.
But I remember a kid
first two years of Halo.
I think maybe he got a top eight,
but I'm pretty sure it's just top 12, top 16s.
But like technically he was on orgs.
Yeah.
And then he tweeted out one time.
It was like, unless I get on an org that pays,
I'm not even,
I'm not going to compete anymore.
Like what?
And I'm just like,
like, shout the fuck off.
You have done nothing to be able to tweet that.
But I also understand it.
because if I'm in issues, I'm thinking the same thing.
I probably wouldn't tweet it,
but I would be thinking like, bro, this shit is not worth.
I'm not spending my own money to, like, go get a top 12 and shit.
So it's like, it makes sense.
I don't blame him for thinking it, but you can't, you can't say that.
I think it happened in gears.
Like, I don't know if it was our team.
I don't think it was, I think we had left gears at the point.
But the team that had won all those gears trophies, that team,
fucking with the summons
explosive mental
and then you know the two
they rotated the other two
um can he bounce
can he bounce um
but they're the best team in the game by far
by far the best team in the game
and then there was another team that came along
and like
1.5 times their salaries
like so the second place team
third place team whichever team it was
bought a bunch of players for like almost double the salary of the optic guys.
So now the optic guys are like, how the fuck are they getting paid that?
But in reality, like, they don't deserve.
It's not like you guys now deserve that.
It is those guys don't deserve that at all.
And that's, and then it's just this like ladder.
That was like with with COD in the beginning.
Oh, yeah.
With the early CDO and shit.
Fucking Enable getting 300K.
That's always the one we come back to.
And it's, I don't know if this was enabled during his prime.
No, it wasn't.
That's the issue.
Surge enable?
That's the issue.
No, phase enable was his prime.
Because, yeah, early on, I think Octane said he had an insane salary.
Who else?
Someone said, yeah, there was a few salaries that were mentioned.
It was just like, bro, aches played like, what, a few events?
But in his...
Got slammed.
In his...
And he's still getting fucking backs.
Yeah, in his contract, it was like a...
I'm gonna just...
I could be lying.
I'm gonna just say like $300,000 a year salary.
First, like two events or something just gets slammed, gets dropped.
But in his contract, he put that he has to get paid out or he...
Like, before the season started, that contract has to be paid out in full, no matter what happens.
And he...
So he just got to get bent.
and fucking collect that fucking bread.
Fuck.
I feel like every dollar I've ever made is such like a just a small little fucking
keep adding on, bro.
At least for aches,
like,
I feel like that's,
that makes sense for him because,
like,
he,
he played all of those tournaments when they were getting paid $300.
Yeah.
Like,
I wish big time.
I mean,
smart move by,
I wish big time where it sat the bench.
Wish big time where it sat the bench.
T.P.
sat the bent well t p was getting the coaching
wait was he coaching then no he wasn't coaching
like i wish all the legends got there got their bag
none of them did
I wish I got to see big tea in his prime
because it still don't make sense to me
just his person his personality
I can see it I can see him being
good yeah but when I put him
on a team aspect I want to know
what he's like like does he ever argue
is their passion there is there
I don't know or is it just well they teamed
with Ray so
everyone was just kind of like
whatever he wanted to do
whatever he wanted to do
Ray who was it Ray
Merck Big T
Seth
Seth sounds like a nice little squad
Yeah I mean they were
That was like the first
That was the first best team ever
That was the first
The first best team ever
I wouldn't call him a dynasty
But that's like the final boss of
That's over one over two
For sure yeah
Saying Washi
They won
I mean I guess people could say like
Fear envy from like Cod four days
but um but like that that model warfare three squad like they won they won a lot they won all the all the
model warfare three events i think i would was scump back in those days like in 16 bro we're
god i've been having these thoughts lately like bro pomage is about to turn 30 yep when i met him
he was just big dumbledore fucking 18 year old
big dumb
Dumbledore rich
I looked at him
It's just like a multi-millionaire
You know Pam has the most subs in Optic
The most subscribers in Optic
Oh on YouTube?
On YouTube?
That makes sense
Even more than Seth?
Yeah like a million more
Damn
I think Pam has like 3.5
And Seth has 2.1
Pam was that gamer
What was that gamer?
Pam was that gamer
But
Wait what were we talking about
Why did I bring up Pan?
old.
Oh, yeah.
Dude, I texted Bose this last night.
And I don't know if it was the edible hitting.
But Uncle Eddie's in town?
This is just a fucking...
First, he texted me, yo, we Lincoln tonight?
I was like, I'm sick, man.
Sore throat and cough.
No reply.
Then I texted him last night at midnight.
I was like, life's moving too fast, man.
What the fuck's actually happening?
I'm low-key, almost 40.
I swear I was just 19.
My Edibles hidden.
Then I texted again at 8.40 a.m.
Pomage is about to be 30.
Let that sink in.
There's not much time left, man.
We got a clutch.
He responds.
I'm working on my album.
I don't need negative thoughts, man.
But it's true, man.
Where is time going?
The old motherfuckers weren't lying.
The old motherfudgers.
Old heads.
The old motherfuckers were not lying
when they said this shit goes quick.
Bro, I'm hex's age when he was, like,
starting this shit.
Pretty soon.
34-year-old phenom?
36.
Oh.
You got two years.
You got three years.
You got three years.
Okay.
I'm for sure remaking that shirt and selling it.
Pretty soon.
I mean, we're going to be looking at curbs like,
yo, is it safe to walk over there?
Dude, I'm telling you it's, like, actually weird.
Like, I've been getting into some, like,
maybe it's the more,
I don't know if I'd say religious.
but spiritually religious.
I'm just like, dude, this is so not understandable.
Like, it's just from the earth to the sky,
to the sun, to the space, to the galaxy,
to the solar system, to the galaxy,
to the fucking Milky Way, to the Milky Way,
around the Milky Way.
It just doesn't.
Our Milky Way, our clusters of galaxies
is only a tiny cluster in front of other clusters.
And it's just, it doesn't.
Makes sense.
It's so big.
It doesn't make no sense.
And time's just flying.
Times just flying by.
Like I remember the beginning of this year.
I was like, I'm going to be, I don't know if you heard me this,
but I was like, I'm going to be shredded by June.
Oh, shit.
Game on.
But it's game on.
So it doesn't matter.
But yeah, it's a lie.
But no.
So I fucking, but it just goes so soon.
Like your, uh, what do they call New Year's resolutions?
Yeah.
Do you clutch up on them?
Did you clutch?
They still going strong?
Okay.
But it's just like, bro, that seemed not long ago.
It just goes so, like, we're half, we're damn near halfway done with this year.
I thought this year just started 2025.
We're about to be in 2026 soon.
Like, before you know it, we're going to be doing some kind of Halloween party here.
Somebody's just listening to this on their drive to work.
having a panic attack now.
They were like, oh my God.
They were talking about Halo in Game Month earlier.
What happened?
No, I'm respecting my psyche.
I used to date a girl who would refuse to talk about
like the universe and planets and shit
because it gives her anxiety.
I'm like, I know.
It fucking does.
It does.
I like can't get over it.
It doesn't necessarily give me anxiety,
but it does give me some kind of like brain block
to where I'm like, God, I'll never understand it.
But I don't know.
man, time's just flying by.
I saw Pommage was turning 30.
Next, which is insane.
I don't know.
Life's just going too quick, man.
And I don't know.
I'm like, life's moving so fast.
Do I have to, like, put the phone down, start making plans, go to dinner,
hang out with friends.
What's the answer?
What's the answer to a good life?
Matt.
Because shit's going quick, Matt.
Matt said he don't know
Matt did the emoji shrug
I don't know man
I don't know man
there's there's gotta be
chat
what do you think man
what's the answers to life
because I feel dude
the shit's flying by
the older you get it also
is just flying faster
fucking move to yours
bro
seven plus years ago
we've been here longer
almost eight years
we've been here almost
twice as long
as Chicago.
Dude, it don't make it.
We were barely even in Chicago.
I'm saying, we were barely there.
We were there like two years.
But that shit seemed like forever.
It seemed like so long, bro.
But then we move here and it's just like, is this?
I see what the phase.
I see what those like phase kids are doing.
They're moving houses.
They're like, you know, RIP to the Faye's house.
Here's the new Faze house.
I'm like, I hope those motherfuckers live it up.
I think they are.
I'm sure they are.
I played a little bit of the Faze,
the Faze house store.
my stream and of course everyone's
I don't know if people watch this
these guys like so cringe
bro what audience is
I'm like their fucking audience not us old heads
not you old fucks
yeah we're in here
playing Minecraft
I wonder what APG thinks about lucid
versus stellar
I saw Lacey
making a
not Lacey top let's do a Matt can we do this
let's do this pull up
notepad or something or Microsoft Word
top 10 hardest jobs
Lacey was doing this on stream
he started off
or top 10 easiest jobs
Top 10 easiest jobs
Number one
I'm gonna tell you what he said
But I want to hear what you said
What you would think
Easiest jobs
Mental strain or is just like easy to perform
Just all around
Top 10 easiest jobs
It's just an easy ass job
Keep in mind
Lacey's entire
chat was spamming streamer streamer streamer streamer streamer's not on there yeah uh cashier i was thinking
only fans only fans is really good yeah lacey put only fans yeah let's put only fans on there
number two i mean you have to get shredded but not really there's a lot of not shredded girls oh oh i was
thinking i was thinking men because game but yeah i guess i guess for girls if you're born with a set of
And it's like, yeah, run it.
Number two, he put models.
That's being a model.
That's not.
But why not?
Because you have to stay.
Because you have to stay.
Because like models are like stupid thin.
Like, like ozimic thin.
Like super models?
I think a lot of it's genetics though.
Yeah, I know.
It's hard.
I don't know if they're necessarily.
I don't know if they're necessarily even going out of there.
It was sure they're probably, oh, I got to shoot.
Let me eat less.
for two weeks.
I could be wrong.
I understand there's a lot of eating disorders.
Matt put podcaster.
Podcaster.
Wait, Matt, put watch party,
or watch party,
podcaster, and streamer.
No, let's keep these
to the end.
Let's keep these to the end and actually talk about it, though.
Because people do have
things not so nice to say about
about what considering
considering a podcast or a watch party
or anything like that they don't they don't consider that
one a real job two they think it's easy as fuck
it's not easy
I mean let's let's save these for later Matt
number two
he put model I don't know if I'd agree with model
I don't agree with model I don't know what I'd put for number two
to be honest I don't agree with model
Um
reaction
YouTube is true
Yes reaction YouTuber that is true
That is true
He put number four
Nurse
And that's
I saw number seven lawyer
Yeah I mean he's just trolling
Yeah no he's just fucking trolling
Professional athlete
Number eight
Professional athlete
They just
Yeah
Professional athletes
Their job is easier
than you working at a fucking leasing office
just fucking helping people
when they walk in the apartment.
Reaction YouTuber is the, I think that's the only one.
I think that's the only one on there I agree with.
Only fans girl.
Oh, he did put girl, which is sexist.
Only fans.
Because like only fans in general.
Is number two TikToker?
I don't even think.
I don't even think that's it, bro.
I'm telling you.
Like, you got to come up with the ideas that edit it to execute.
If being a TikToker, if being a professional TikToker was one of the top 10 easiest jobs, everyone would be able to do it.
That's how I see it.
Like, if we're talking easy, I can go out and just do it.
That's why I would put cashier.
I could be a cashier tomorrow.
I could go and go to HGB.
I could go back to.
Walgreens. I've got experience.
And I could be a cashier tomorrow.
I could not be a professional
TikToker or a model
tomorrow. You literally just
set your camera up, do a stupid
dance and upload it.
Yeah, that's, I mean,
but it doesn't work.
Yeah, it wouldn't fucking work. You got to have
the lighting, the choreography,
the smile, the energy,
the aura, the luck. Definitely the
the editing.
it's definitely not
I mean easy is just a weird word
easy is that's where though
that's the part
it is easy
that's the part that like is skewed
but it doesn't mean it's not hard
oh wait he put it in chat GPT
it's easy but it's not
that doesn't mean it's not hard to obtain
this is what this is what chat chpT says
top 10 easiest jobs
librarian assistant
Data entry clerk, which makes sense.
They tell you what to put in, you put it in.
Receptionist, that also makes sense.
Yes, receptionist.
Receptionist.
What I was trying to think of earlier.
A tour guide.
That sounds fun.
Tour guide sounds fun.
A tutor.
I don't know about tutor.
I don't know about tutor.
Remote customer service representative.
A park ranger assistant.
Okay.
Sounds easy and fun.
Hotel front desk clerk.
I've heard that's easy.
Surveillance monitor security.
That sounds easy because
99.99% of the people
aren't trying to break in.
So what are you really securing?
Freelance proof reader or editor.
I mean, I don't know how well that's going to pay.
I just don't think...
Yeah, I mean, those make sense.
Yeah, that's what I...
When I think of easy jobs, that's where my brain goes.
It's like Hotel clerk.
Hotel...
I mean, you're not, it's not, it's not, you know, it's not the most fulfilling jobs.
But if you're just thinking easy, then.
See, I just know there's a receptionist sitting in my chat talking shit about how easy I have it.
I'm just like, bro, no, wait, let's really think about it.
I understand you may think it's how easy I have it because of maybe what I make and, you know, the,
the brand that I've created.
and the people watching me,
I can also make money in other avenues,
whether it's merch or we do the watch party
and that's another avenue.
But to say being a receptionist
is easier than being a streamer or watch partier or a podcast,
I feel like it's insane.
There's no fault.
You mix it up.
You mix it up.
Wait, what do you mean?
You said, you're saying being a receptionist
is easier.
Yes.
Yeah.
Okay.
You said it backwards, but I get it.
Yeah.
But there's just,
there's so many jobs.
This is,
this is why I have an issue with the whole nine to five.
Because people would just say a nine,
what's harder?
Being a nine to five or being a streamer?
And I'm like,
where there's a million things.
There's a million jobs that being a streamer is harder than.
But then there's a lot of jobs where obviously are,
that are hard.
Nine to fives that are harder than being a streamer.
It just depends on what you mean by harder.
Is it physical strain?
People just combine nine to fives and are like, no, if you have to show up to a place from nine to five, it sucks more.
It's fucking harder.
Just because it sucks more and it's less fulfilling does not mean it's fucking harder.
Yeah.
That's what I think harder and easier is just, they're not great.
And I'm not trying to make it seem like streaming is the hardest job in the world.
It is fulfilling.
But it is stressful.
You look at your ups and downs every single day.
You'll go through weeks of downs.
You'll go through slight ups.
But it's mostly all you think about is like the downs and what you could do better
and how you weren't in the best mood and you're talking nonstop and you're trying.
You put on a front.
It's like hosting a fucking radio show.
Unless you're a person that can just like get on.
See, like I feel like Seth has a beautiful mix that he's earned of like he'll get on.
He'll get on.
He's in that entertainment.
like what's up chat is loud and talking and having fun but then it's like all right now I'm in a game for
six hours yeah and then he kind of just like gets the lock in on the game and it's he's not like trying
to be entertaining but he's just so good that it is entertaining but then there's people like me to
where when I get on streaming I have to think of something funny put on some music do a little
dancey dance uh fucking high energy funny some funny stuff on Minecraft a little bit of rage bait
interesting conversations and I'm talking the whole fucking time.
And it's just so it's simple, but it's not easy.
It's just very stressful.
I've, I've worked nine to fives.
And they suck.
Like, I think that like, if I'm, if I go back to where I was as a nine to five,
like when I worked a nine to five.
And if I heard a streamer say, yeah, well, this is harder.
I probably would have been pissed
because like
I would have been like
yeah sure it's hard
if it might be harder
but it's way better
yeah
and so is working
in content
is working online in gaming
esports
is working on this side of the internet
better
absolutely it's fucking better
of course it is better
but when I worked at
Walgreens or I worked at Jason's deli or I worked at like my fucking like recording gigs.
That was, it was just clock in, put my little social security number in, click the button to
clock in.
And then when I was done, I hit the button and I clocked out.
And like that was the mint, that was all and everything was surface level while I was there.
But like, but like doing other shit is like way more mentally.
taxing, but it is way, way better.
So it's just like, is it harder or easier?
It's just not the way.
Like, just because your job is way less fulfilling does not mean it's harder.
If it's easier, it's worse is how I see it.
So like, if you want a harder job is going to be like a harder mentally like thought
provoking job is going to be better.
is how I see it.
But like,
but a harder job that's physically demanding,
like a construction worker or,
or something where you use your hands,
that is harder on your physical body and it's worse.
Yeah.
So like it's,
it's just,
it's just how people say it.
And also, like,
everyone's job is different over,
over here as well.
Like, I think Koso went viral saying,
yeah, of course this is fucking easy.
Or he didn't say fuck because he doesn't curse.
Of course this is easier.
Getting on and streaming, of course this is easier than what I've done.
Of course, it's the easiest job in the world.
But also, Koso hits Go Live and he makes, and he has 30,000 people watching him.
He just has the it factor.
Yeah.
Not everyone has that.
No, that is, that's not even the 1% of the 1%.
That's like the 0.0.01% of the 1%.
It's him and Kai.
But even
even Kai like puts
An enormous amount of effort
He puts an enormous amount of effort
It's not a job, it's his life
Right
Koso literally is like
What game am I gonna play
And he clicks go live
And he's just the best at it
Like he is the best on Twitch
And hitting go live
And being him
And like
Like having a community
And like
A lot of
And not a
I would say a lot of people
don't have that. Nobody else has that.
He is the, but again, like, I don't know, but he also worked a physically demanding job before
that. So he probably understands.
Obviously, going from where he was to where what he does now, it's just night and day and
of course. I love how top 10 easiest jobs over there is just only fans.
I mean, I can't. I don't know if anything else does kind of, does kind of work.
I think it's, does anything else need to be thrown on the list anymore?
I thought we were actually going to go through the list, but honestly, chat GBT, I feel like, kind of.
Chat GBT, BT kind of.
It actually made it make sense.
Yeah.
It is quite literally the easiest jobs.
Let's try to do top 10 easiest, top 10 easiest jobs, and then we'll get off here.
Top 10 easiest jobs.
E-sports edition.
Ooh.
So we're counting production.
In gaming.
Top 10 easiest jobs in gaming.
Let's just start listing words.
Maybe bring up another one to just start listing words.
Oh, can you put it in?
Oh, I thought we were putting in chat GPT.
Um, so streamer, podcaster.
Pot, podcaster.
Reaction, reaction, reaction YouTubers is for sure up there.
Production.
That shit is cheek.
CEO.
CEO is definitely easy.
Definitely in that one.
Uh, pro player.
Pro coach.
Pro coach.
Mm.
Uh.
And I mean, we could do stuff like analysts, what are they called, commentators.
I feel like these are all very hard.
Analyst, commentators, hosts, maybe a host, host slash interviewee.
Bro, these are all.
Like Guy Blaze.
These are all extremely difficult.
All of them.
Well, that's right.
Except for reaction YouTube.
How many do we got?
Reaction YouTube, streamer, CEO.
pro player, pro coach, analyst,
commentator, hosts.
What else is there?
Let's think, let's think in
pro player, pro coach.
Uh, producer.
Podcaster.
Producer.
Watch party.
Watch party.
Do watch party as well.
All right.
Top 10 easiest jobs in gaming.
I think number one's reaction YouTuber.
Of course.
And now all of the other one,
two is watch party streamer.
Yeah.
And now all of...
Wait.
All of them...
Two is pro coach.
No.
Absolutely not.
I don't want to hear this fucking coding shit from JP Cres.
I don't go to fuck about him and his coding and breaking down fucking gameplay.
I want to see Damon's fucking point of view.
I get it.
You yell at the team.
You figure out, uh, we did this wrong.
So you think Damon's job is easier than what you do?
See, now you're putting people in my ass.
I'm just, I'm just asking the general.
question. You think Damon has it
easier than Seth? I don't know what
Damon does. Do I think
Damon has it easier than Seth? Yes.
You're insane.
You don't think so? No, Seth shows
watching from a third POV
and just being like, oh no,
we got to do that better. You think
that's all like, you don't think he watches other Vots?
I mean, he probably does.
Just watching
gaming, how hard is that?
These guys, so
the watch.
party guys, you guys, you sit down
and you watch the events
or you watch the series, but then that's it.
Damon's in the call
for eight hours a day, watching
the mini map for eight hours a day.
And also
watching other teams POVs.
I want to know how serious they take it.
Because from watch partying,
I'm like, it's
energy the whole fucking time.
Like there will be times
where we're sitting there and we're just like locked in.
And in between we got, we'll have
like guests and we're interviewing and talking and
but it's just high energy all fucking day
I will say coach is probably
and you're in your on camera perform like just entertaining
thousands like pro coach it's like
you're in your own little bubble you're kind of chilling
you're just you're paying attention to gameplay
what can I give my players from this I don't I don't know
if I'd put pro coach over
I don't even think pro coach is three I think podcaster is three
fuck no
Dude, podcasting is so much hard.
I mean, it depends on the person.
Some people can podcast with complete ease.
The amount of stress I would feel over podcasting
compared to being a pro coach,
I think would be astronomically less if I was a pro coach.
Okay, so let's say.
If you're a coach, so you don't get the blame.
Let's say you're a coach.
Let's say you're not even lunch, not even best man.
let's say you're royal one
and you're coaching a brand new
you've never coached not your brother before
let's say you guys get top 16
now you're south
now they might be like
well our coach they might put the blame on you
but yeah there's not much to do these guys just suck
like a coach it can't save a fucking team
yeah but there goes
you have formal saying caa doesn't need coaches
but there goes well
You got one of the best players of all times saying Cod doesn't even need coaches.
But apparently it's the hardest job.
Well, let me put some stuff into context.
Never once have I watched.
I'm not hating.
But never once have I watched or know what they even do.
Like I don't, I'll see them sitting back there, but it's like, I don't know what they're breaking down.
I don't know how extra they're being.
I don't know if there are how many hours a day they're putting into it.
So I truly don't know.
and I could be completely wrong.
But is what I know of as a coach from a Halo player,
that shit's fucking easy as fuck.
But it is different in Call of Duty.
I'm not up to date with what they do.
I bet you it's different.
But I just feel like being able to like sit there behind the pro players.
But you're not just calling out over shields anymore.
Well, they're not doing anything.
They're just watching and being like, okay, we could get better at this.
All right, we can put pro coach at three then
We can do watch party
Pro coach at three
Podcasts are of four
I feel like podcasting is hard to me
Like I would put
When we put it up on the list
Can you take it down on the bottom list?
I guess
Hmm
You think podcasting is harder than streaming?
No
Yeah, I don't think so either
Pro player
podcaster, CEO,
analyst.
I think analyst.
I think analyst is next.
Yeah, let's do analyst.
After podcaster?
Yeah.
Yeah, I think analyst is next.
I think host is after that.
I think commentator.
Commentator is after that.
Then producer,
then pro player,
then CEO.
Oh, wait, sorry, we still have streamer.
Streamer in between
commentator and producer is where I would put it.
because I've I've produced events and streaming is much easier as easier I think that that would be my list
uh yeah maybe bump streamer up of one or two I don't know like under you think streaming
uh because like a host is a tough job like you have to it's a it's a skilled tough job you have to
know how to every conversation know how to segue shit like it's a tough skilled job
I was going to say throw streamer above that,
but I was like streaming every single day compared to like that.
It's like streaming is almost the same,
not the same thing,
but it's like you sign on,
you got to entertain,
blah, blah, blah, blah.
You're your own house.
It's longer hours.
It's you, you're not,
you're nonstop.
So I don't know.
I kind of like that.
CEO 11 though.
I don't know, bro.
Listen,
I've seen Hex with his
injured,
tow for three weeks now
attends a few meetings
plays a little Minecraft
plays some cod chills in the theater room
he's got to be
he's he's exposed a little
he's got an easy life
I don't think he has easy life
but I do think
CEOs
being a streamer is harder than being a CEO
listen man I don't know
what it takes to be CEO
I think there's a skill set, Hex has that I do not have.
So I would not be able to do it.
So if a way of, you know, being in meetings, talking to people, knowing certain information, knowing, you know, he has talks with lawyers.
He has talks with other CEOs.
He has talks with other businessmen, sponsors, fucking any of that.
So I will say there's obviously, no.
So I would not put it above streamer.
So here's what I'll say for you putting it above pro player.
sometimes I think people reach CEO status.
And I'm not saying this is,
this is Hex,
because Hex will die if he's not involved.
But I think there are CEOs that like,
they reach that.
And then it's just, okay, how can I,
here's my massive salary.
Let's break that down a little bit and then just have everyone else do the work.
That's what Hex tried to do.
Yeah.
Then they tried to sell the COD team.
Yeah.
So for Hex specifically CEO, no,
I do feel like there's a lot of CEOs.
that probably, listen, not saying they didn't work their ass off to get there,
but there probably are a lot of CEOs that don't have to do fucking much.
Besides show up, smile, make sure the workers are happy.
And then.
But I mean, I guess I can't really yell at this list or be too mad at this list.
Top 10, easiest jobs and gaming reaction YouTuber.
For sure.
For sure.
Watch party streamer, for sure.
Well, maybe pro-co.
I don't know.
Pro coach after that.
Podcaster after pro coach.
Now, why did we put podcaster after pro coach?
It's podcasting.
The base of podcasting is pretty easy.
You're talking to a microphone.
Everything's fucking easy when you just break it down.
Pro player is easy.
You can make anything.
Yeah, being like a war zone pro.
Oh, video game.
Oh, touch guitar.
Boom, boom, boom, he's down.
Resby, resby.
Our war zone team just walked by.
Which one were we on?
The podcaster?
Podcasting's just, I don't know about you, but I stress.
When I get my content sheet.
You are as stressful.
You're a stress.
You tell me you get stressed in every pod that's not fly.
Yes.
but when we are doing a fly
and we have a gas
and I'm stressed
but like today
not so much stress
so I don't stress you out
one-on-one
no
I was thinking
shout out
shout out June
I was thinking
junior
or the month we're in
I was thinking
a junior
my little angel
my little baby
my son
shout out him too
shout out June
too
shout out Jane money
so
so okay
podcast or podcasting
I get stressed
stress I get I feel over-stimulated I feel like I have to prepare I have to do a little bit of
I wouldn't say research but I like it's up to your brain to just think of shit to me it's stressful
um analysts I think being a commentator might be harder than being a streamer commentating is so
hard yeah it's so hard yeah well yeah I could see that but it's like are do we count
the account that it commentating is harder than being a streamer
I will, yes, 100%.
But are we counting like the hours people do it?
Like, is commentating an hour and a half match
harder than streaming for eight hours?
I don't know.
Yeah, you're right.
I mean, I don't know.
You kind of have to have it.
I don't know.
But I do agree commentating because I'll hear,
I'll try to commentate.
And I'll commentate like half a match.
And I would just be like, holy shit.
Should I just tweet this?
I'm going to tweet this.
The fact that
we should troll and put CEO
and after like
CEO is number two
before watch party streamers for the picture.
Okay, yeah.
All right.
CEO.
Make CEO number two.
CEO, yeah.
And then.
Wait, does that make sense?
And then watch party.
Maybe we, maybe we,
let's flip.
commentator and watch party streamer and then this will be for the picture because i feel like that
one at least is like believable that people might think that your dumb ass would say that or that we would
say that collectively have we said watch party streamer is yeah yeah watch party one of the harder jobs
harder jobs yeah yeah streamer producer and it there you all right and you can like delete 12
there you go reaction YouTuber number one CEO number two commentator
number three, pro coach, number four, podcaster, analyst, host, watch party, streamer, streamer,
producer, pro player.
That's your list, man.
That's the top 10 easiest jobs in gaming guys.
Ditch, do you have anything left to say?
We got the drop pod starting soon.
Oh, good luck in your second pod.
We didn't even talk about, yeah, pod stress me the fuck out.
What was I about to say?
I read a text and then it ruined my day.
Oh, didn't even talk.
about your little vacation or whatever you did.
Yeah, but I guess we can.
Yeah, we'll talk about it later.
We'll talk about it later whenever we have a guest and we'll just talk about us.
I'm trying to get attached this week because he just, he just retired.
Would you be down, Matt, would you be down to go to the cigar bar right over here?
I don't know.
I mean, we'd have to ask them if they would.
Yeah, we'd have to ask them.
I feel like they're like, that's like a quiet.
Yeah.
That's kind of what I was thinking like, what's a good like retirement.
like it's a place and maybe i was thinking like a whiskey bar or like a cigar bar i mean we could sit
outside it's fucking hot bro it is so hot if the camera was if if the camera was
well it just can't be in sun that camera was in direct sun yeah that's true but we'll figure
something out man we know this is just a a regular back to our roots boring yap yep
yap a little bit but sometimes we might need this a little humbling we can't just
switch it up every single time we can't just always save optic yeah like there we have to
We'll take weeks off.
Right.
Yeah.
We have to be us too.
Well, that's going to do it for the flycast, man.
Thank you so much for tuning in.
Next episode, there will be a guess.
We'll figure it out.
We'll switch up the scenery.
Thank you guys so much for watching.
Matt.
Craig.
Play the outro music.
