That is so good. That's so good. This is a not pay promotion. Hebebe 10 minutes aroma made in Japan and I like the technology behind it and I got to tell you that...

I'm sure that's just the match. But it just keeps burning. They're like mini incense. It's so genius. So you just burn a match and you put it into ashtray. Yeah, it's got a platform and they just let us sit there, man.

It's just like The aroma, the aromatics. Just like get you, get you in a relaxed state. I'm trying to find some stuff like that for my new place ever since my breakup. My empty house needs some sort of feng shui. And like, I want you to walk in and it's clear and clean and it smells good. And it's like, but it's not the usual. Oh, it's a masculine smell.

It's not a he lit a candle for Target. See, that's the issue right now. Men are lighting these like eucalyptus shits, some vanilla fields shit, you know, some blue bonnet Hill rolling Texas summer springs. Blue bonnet Hill rolling Texas summer springs. Summer springs. No, you need something masculine. And what's that? And what's that?

And that's what that is? A little bit of smoke. This is, this is, it doesn't say the aroma. It's just aroma number zero zero. Oh, lavender. I was just talking about how sweet lavender is. And it's just a mini incense. yeah it just burns

it just sits you can you smell it not really can you smell it wait is yes or no no I can't that's not your bit bro I can totally smell it yeah

Nick I guess Nick thinks that I'm making this shit up no no no no I swear to God you forgot I forgot that's fine that's fine I don't okay is that is that like a like a like a dude thing you think no no no for

my experience everyone forgets okay so it's just because it's such a common thing It's not like, I'm not blind with a stick. Like, so you, it's not like you don't visually see. But he eats, he loves burgers. Love burgers. He can't smell or taste, but boy, does he love a burger? Yeah, let's like make it.

When did I, when did I say I love burgers? We can tell. 14 months ago when I asked. You look like it. Yeah. You look like you love burgers. You didn't have to say a damn word. Man, fuck y'all.

Fuck both y'all. Yeah. So anyway, yes. Japan is very Chat GPD Give it a break No let's do a chat GPT Podcast topic

Fucking how optic changed our lives Yeah let's talk about that one Maniac's funniest rants Let me actually A passion to read about something ridiculous and I love this Wait chat cheap's amazing Wait but is this like a who's the most annoying in the optic house Optic lore deep dive

Tell an untold I'm sick of this fucking story. Here it comes. Here it comes. Here's the thing. Every single time you say, interesting rant. Let's do a Q and a. We're doing a Q&A.

Let it happen. We're doing a Q&A. Submit some questions. Someone's like, what's the funniest something from the Opticouse? What's the craziest story from the OptiGals? There were no crazy stories. We're all gamers, freaks, locked in the room. No one did shit in that fucking house.

I don't know about that. There are some secret ones. my section there you go I did my stuff funniest rants that's good that's fucking hilarious

who's the most annoying in the optic what did you type in to find this yeah what was the what was the question ask us if what

what's this what should hack stitch and maniac talk about on the flycash and it really does come up with shit like that what the fuck golden age of gaming

so what it is it's a really fast engine okay it's a really fast engine that has already read like up until a year ago or two years ago all of the internet has watched every video and it's it's a really fast engine that you can ask it questions and it doesn't take time to process because it's reading it as you're typing it and as you're deleting and as you're typing and it doesn't matter if you have bad grammar it like it understands what the

fuck you're saying and it is an expert in everything that you can think of wanting a uh you love this shit. I do. I do. You know why though? It's like, you got me to re-download it. You did? So you read download. So you, so you had downloaded. Yeah, I had downloaded and and I had, I had purchased the to like improve it. The pro. 20 bucks a month. Yeah, yeah, 20 bucks month. Yeah. That's what I had, I purchased and I've been making, I've been making like, like, like, decks and shit for, uh, for icons. And I was like, I think this is going to help me. because even if I I don't want to steal

I guess what is what because I know designers hate ShagGBT they hate AI art why because it's taking jobs okay um but but I think it's good yeah it is it's really good for like

for shit where I'm like well this is what the trophy could look like and then we'll get someone to design it this is what this is what the the theme of a of a of a tournament that I'm trying to to pitch or an event that I'm trying to pitch here's the theme of what it could look like once we hire a designer so it makes that so much easier and it gives visuals for for shit like that so that's why I re-downloaded it and it also helps like looks of like dude yes like a i i i

have it'll show like a trophy of what the trophy from the event should look like okay well give me give me a fucking yeah dude i showed you i don't i showed you like what i don't i showed you like how to ask a question all right this is what i did well let me let me tell you i'm gonna say a pick Picture of Optic Maniac as a Jedi. Santa Claus. Santa Claus. Santa Claus. Giving out presents.

You hit send on it. Giving out presents to people in wheelchairs. You hit send on it. I'll send it to Matt. Picture of optic maniac as a Jedi Santa Claus. No, you hit send. He did. Creating image. It's creating the image.

It takes a little bit longer to create the image. I can generate the requested image because it didn't comply with our Oh, oh, it's a, okay, instead of Optic Maniac, do, uh, just do, uh, a redhead gamer. A picture of a red-haired gamer. Gamer. As a Jedi. There's a, there's a flycast. That's what it could look like.

Make me a flycast thumbnail for today's. Wait, did you do it already? Yeah. Make me a flycast thumbnail. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But like, you would never use that. No, but, but, but you can swap all of those. into our faces and do our faces and upload it.

Oh, well, I don't know exactly. Yeah, I've never gotten to the chat, GPT shit. I'm probably going to have to, though, because I'm fucking locked now. Well, no, the- I'm going full-time. Yeah, the thing is just like- I'm the creative. Getting into it means that you're considering this thing to be something that it isn't.

Because getting into it is, it's like going to the gym, right? That's what getting into it is. Like, getting into the gym means that you have to go there, you're exercising the shit, right? Fucking loves Love's talking about AI clearly. Oh man, I've been up for days, man. I've just been grounded.

No, you haven't. I really have actually been busy. Yeah, movie. Yeah, sure. Whatever. For once. So getting into it is not necessarily like something that you do as like getting into vlogging or getting into editing or it's, this is a,

an exercise that you have to do as your external assistant. You get into chat GPT for a week, nothing's going to come from it. Same way if you get into... What do you mean? If you get, you compared it to like getting into the gym. When you go into the gym the first few times, technically

it does nothing. But once you go into the gym every single day for a few months, then you start. Then how the system really works and do what it's supposed to do, then you'll start seeing the results. It's probably the, then you'll start getting the hang of it.

Then you'll start finding stuff that works for you. And you'll figure out the chat, GBT, itself of what works for you. From what I know from experience when it comes to working out and stuff is that there is the first period of your body sort of like getting started into being able to be molded into something beefier and stronger. But it doesn't get there until you do that little warm-up stage because it's probably thinking the same thing. It's always like, he's going to do it for a week. And then it might as well not even get big. That's what my muscle say to me. Yeah, this guy's going to give up anyway.

So that's like, let's not even fucking lose, let's not even lose any of this fat here. That's what it says. That's what it says. You got to really dive into this to truly get the. No, but it's not, like, dive into nothing. Like if there is anything that you need to do, for example, like the, the craziest one is this one, right?

There is a Minecraft, uh, I said, Nate Chet and I are about to do a Minecraft series together. It begins on a lonely island. So, look, you know. Can I join? No. Listen, man. It's, listen.

I'll be in the background. Let me finish. But the way that I can add a roll. The way that I, the way that I, that I sort of done it, you have to tell it what you need it to be. And you need to be as specific as possible. The more specificity that you give it, the better results you're going to get to answer your thing, right?

For example, I said, hey, these are the places that I've traveled to this year. How many miles have I traveled this year, right? So it gave me 50,000 miles and I'm like, that can't be right. I'm like, oh, I didn't tell it to tell me both ways there and back. You know what I'm saying? So you gotta be specific so that you don't get an incorrect answer or not an incorrect answer, but incomplete answer. You're, you can go in and be like, you are an interior designer that works for HGTV.

You work in the male space, in the in the male and the male age 30 to fucking 40 single divorcee one pet design a masculine thing and then it'll give you all of that you know what I'm saying? Yeah that's what it is.

It's your assistant and that assistant can be anything that you want This shit's for creative people, huh? No, it is not. Do you love the shit? I do. I guess it's for not creative people. Well, but I feel like creative people

could use it's a tool that creative people can use to even fucking compound their creativityness. Yeah. To create something amazing. Yes, sort of. This is what I,

what I've done, oh my God, when was it? Like, when the first, one of the first things that I did when dictation was like a thing, like I would dictate into my phone a,

a thought. And then I would, I would obviously copy and paste it onto chat GPT and tell it to analyze it or tell it to, give me the gist of it. And then I would, would ask it more, elaborate on more, elaborate on the points, and then it sort of becomes

something completely bigger and better, because it's just filled with fucking information, all of it that you want, or as least of it as you want. My brain no work. I can't wait to step it up. How do you use it? Just what you said about the graphs and shit? Yeah, well, I've been using it for that, and then

I've also been using it for, like, ideas and stuff. so like because I'm gonna I'm gonna I don't like talk I don't like I don't like saying I'm gonna do something anymore because I've done it so many times but I do want I do want to get back into uploading this next year so it's gonna help especially with shorts I think shorts and long form so it's gonna help me with ideas for that see I can that I that I don't do it's good I know but that I think about this right like I come up with a really fucking good idea and then I can't take credit for that idea because people aren't going to know if

is Chad GPT or me and fuck it. And it's important. To me it's important and I understand what creatives like thumbnail designers or fucking graphic designers or architects

get in their feels about it or optic. But at the end of the day like it's limited to its actual like it doesn't have an imagination. What are my goals? I mean look at this shit.

I say give me, Give me 10 YouTube shorts ideas for Optic Hex. Yeah. And it's just fucking, uh, optic game or gaming setup roast. Hex reacts, uh, to, to submissions from game, fans, game setups. Yeah. Roasts under 10, under 60 seconds. Yeah.

Uh, e-sports glow ups. Optic throwback moments. Top five cod maps. Day in the life of Optic Hex. Mike Check Madness. A funny or intense in-game moment with Optic Team Coms playing over it. Like it's, how did it come up with all of the, I mean, obviously we can...

For one specific person. For one specific person, YouTube. That's why when I typed in my name, it didn't bring up shit. It doesn't even fucking know me. Because I've, my goal in 2020... Wait, type, who is Nick?

Optic Maniac Kershner. When I... For 2025, one of my goals is to get into short form content. But even today, I was like, I have a bit, like, literally since 8 a.m., I've had to like just do shit, do shit, do shit. And I was just, I get like little short clips

basically a day of my life but try to make it funny bring the camera here, shut up. And then I just completely forgot. Like I woke up, had to go to like file papers from my house and meet her and then drive back

and pick up this food and take it back to my apartment. So I just fucking forgot and then it's just. Maniac became known for his positive energy and strong connection to fans both as a player

and a personality. It really doesn't know. That motherfucker doesn't know you at all. Positive energy. Hold up. Humor and you. unique personality. I didn't say that for you.

For who? For you? You didn't even type what it is. After stepping back from competitive play, Maniac pivoted to content crazy. He focused, his focus shifted from producing lifestyle vlogs gaming content

and humorous takes on e-sports life. This your motherfucker does know me. Flycast podcast. The Flycast. I'm there. Where Hex and Hitch discussed game. Let's fucking go.

I made it, baby. I'm on chat. GPT. How did it know you? you though. Because, oh yeah, him,

I don't know. Instead of, it says hex and hitch instead of me. Maniac is known for his laid-back comedic personality. He frequently shares

stories about his life and the time in the esports scene making it relatable to fans. His self-deprecating humor and unique perspective on gaming

culture set him apart. How does it know? Now, look at the bottom. It's actually kind of weird. Look at the bottom. Look at the bottom. In summary, Optic Maniac Kirshner

is a core part of Optic Gaming's legacy balancing his roots and professional halo in thriving career and content creation, his blend of humor, authenticity, and give... Now, if you type right under that, Matt, act as if I am his executive assistant and write a biography that is to be consumed by... An autobiography. Let's just start there without getting into detail. Autobiography. Period. For college students. For college students.

Now, this actually, like, how would a computer decipher humor, you know? Yes. Or art. Oh, my. Hi, my name is Nick Maniac Kershner. Though most of you might know me as optic maniac, my life has been a roller covers of this experience. We're playing competitively, full-time content creator.

No, that's insane, dude. What might surprise you is how relatable my journey is, especially if you're in college trying to figure out your path in life. Let me show you my story. What's his favorite drug of choice? No, kidding. No, ask it. No, Adam's said.

Just say what drug? What's his drug of choice? What's optic maniac's favorite? What's his drug of choice? He's going to say, whoa, chill out, dude. Just the unlimited list. Prescription opioids. Let's go!

Let's fucking go, tragic weight. Nick Optic Maniac Kersner has openly discussed his past struggles with addiction, specifically prescription opioids. He has shared these experience to highlight the dangers of the substance. and subuse and to inspire others who may be going through similar challenges to seek help and focus on recovery. Recent years, Maniac has been transparent about his journey towards sobriety and personal growth using his platform to promote positive mental health and resilience.

His story serves as a powerful reminder that overcoming adversity is possible with the right support and determination. Gang, shit. I ain't going to lie. That just impressed the fuck out of me. Yeah, so that's chat GPT. Now, ask it who, are you familiar? with Hector Hax Rodriguez?

And then you tell to write the biography and then boom, done. It just malfunctions. It would be all long and shit. Of course. All business. Hex actually grew up, claims he's from Juarez.

Hex actually grew up in a suburb... Small suburban town. He just, like, roasts it. Yeah, he's like, his real parents, this is real good marriage. This is true. Which is true. Hector Rodriguez has been claiming

he's from Juarez forever, but actually grew up in small town. We're just like, what? Adopted young as a child. He's a, he's, uh, he's, uh, he's Filipino. I am though. I have one percent Filipino. Really?

Yes. Oh. Yeah, I'm up to start using this because I have to, I got to step it up. It's crazy. Everything. I feel like a, a slight weight from being in a relationship. Because when you're in a relationship, it can get very redundant, um, very, um, very, very

I'm trying to think of another word that we start going off and shit I'm trying to think of another word that doesn't that doesn't have a negative condensation to it but it just

gets very mundane you start you do the same your days are all the fucking same you come home it's the same so I just felt like I fell into

optic content go home maybe stream certain days not stream If she's off on the weekend, I won't stream. She'll get home around this time, so I get off stream. And it just turned into that was not fucking blaming anyone about anything.

It was what I wanted to do because I was in a loving relationship. And I thought it would be nice if I gave them that time that when they were free, I'd be with them. But now having all the time in the fucking world, I want to expand my horizons from just, the optic content and streaming and i almost want to maybe even less streaming and more creative type of videos like i the area i live downtown is such a good spot i feel like to like like i'm i'm right by the spot where there's food trucks like probably different food trucks like different different shorts i can try different different food trucks you know trying this one episode trying this another episode

there's there's beautiful scenery to get shots there's just the the life of downtown obviously it's like in reality it's boring and I'm usually just like in my apartment or in my apartment gym or going to the gym or getting groceries that's not like I'm living outside hitting the club

girls I'm not banks in fucking L.A but that that's me in Dallas like it's not that so I'd have to get creative but it's definitely something I need and have to do because right now it's and i and i think we've even talked about this as all of us to where like our fans are our fans and we have a lot of fans and they've and our supporters have been with us through everything

they've watched us grown up but we're sort of at a and i don't want to speak for everyone but like a a standstill of yes people do fuck with us but we need to what kind of content are we going to produce that's going to bring new faces and they'll see these short clips people have never heard of optic or they've only heard of phase or like they only know fucking lacy from phase and because they think he's funny but then they see this oh these guys kind of do the same shit and they saw it off a second seven second clip and getting these funny moments and i really think that's the only thing i'm going to be able to streaming every single day to the same other fuckers every day is is not going to grow my shit put it that way the people who fuck with me are going to come

into the stream and I'd be nowhere without them but it's it's obviously nothing against them like but it's how can we grow the community how can I grow the BTAH community how can I get and it's just I laughed because the I'm thinking about the BTAH mafia let me finish this like we're we're the motherfuckers I had to talk with my chat and because I was I think it was like when first came out and I started playing again after the race of prestige and they were like yo invite inspired yo jay bach joy and like some of my subs started joining my lobbies i was like guys let's just have a chat now i can't stand this is nothing this is nothing against you guys oh he is saying it he is in it what one of the biggest one of the biggest

problems or biggest fuckups that i've had in my career is that all i do is played by my myself or I'll casually play with people for my stream. And I was like, that has been one of my biggest mistakes ever. So going forward, I can't promise that I'm going to be playing with you guys or like letting you guys join my lobbies or like, like I'm going to be searching more to play with other people with other communities, get my brand out there, get merge our brands together. And so I sort of just like, I have a little baby brands. I was like, guys, we, we and me, I have to switch this up.

Like, we have to find out how to sort of grow this shit. And I think short form contents, probably the biggest for sure. And then just collaborating somehow, some way. How I'm going to do it? I don't know, but. Dude, that's the easy. Ask him for ideas. Ask me for ideas.

We have plenty. That's the chat. Team for ideas. As you were talking about your community, in my head, I wanted to jump. in my ADDs, I say this. But I wanted to say it's like, you become sort of like their champion of sorts in, in, not in a weird way, but in like a cheerful fan, like in an actual fandom standpoint, you want the people that you're fan of to do good.

And yesterday I, I felt a little bit weird because of what I did. And I'm going to tell you what it was. Van Nystad, obviously from Casey Nystatt. Casey and that's the only reason why I watch, not the only reason now, but the only reason that I gave him a chance was because of how good he is at being a YouTuber, right? And when my favorite YouTuber says that he's the best YouTuber,

I gave him a chance. Yesterday he posted, or the day before yesterday, he posted a video from the time now where his wife enters a gingerbread, Christmas house making, but you have to use your kids. drawing and whatever they draw you have to do and they fucking super snapped and I don't want to you guys are I'm probably gonna watch it but watch it but and she ended up winning one of the

categories and I felt so happy I was like yeah we fucking did and I said we did it and I DM this dude because you know what I'm van yeah van and I'm like I'm like fuck yeah we won and then I'm I felt guilty and I'm like wait he probably thinks that I'm a fucking Freiko and then I'm getting too attached to his family because he like and I'm like she won and I'm like but it's a team effort y'all won and I was like five and that whole time you were sitting there like this no no no you sound like Shotsie

Shotsie things Shotsie let me finish my embarrassment let me finish my embarrassment where I was going and then I thought to myself I'm like I guess he could take it wrong but he could also see the truth of it is that I got so invested as a fan of his content as an artist that any success that comes to him, I'm so happy for that I feel like we're all winning.

The same way that every- Fucking Green Wall. It's like the same way that the Green Wall. Like I'm the best at being a fan, I think. You know what I'm saying? Which is why the approach that we've always taken towards Optic has been from a fan's perspective, period. So, but I did feel embarrassed for like,

for like 10 minutes. And I was like, man, I'm like, I don't know if I should. I don't know if he's going to take the wrong way. But I know that y'all. that y'all took care of all that and it was he'll get it then I was so fucking embarrassed

is this on Instagram worth it's on yeah dude he hasn't replied like a Instagram DM or like a comment Does he follow you? Oh okay that makes it way better I don't think he does I don't think he does Oh never mind I'm like I'm like I got so hype when we won

fuck yeah and then I'm like she won y'all You know, that is fucking hilarious. I ain't nothing to be embarrassed about me. No, look, I'm talking about it. If I was embarrassed for like Tim and something. And I just over thought it. Yeah, yeah. Maybe too many incenses were flying around at that point.

Yeah, yeah. I do that all the time. I'm so behind on artwork because of the amount of travel that I've been doing this year. 100 plus miles fucking. You love this year. You love that. No, I did not. He made a chart and everything.

I was like, look, I flew here. The reason I did that is because American Airlines sent me my executive platinum card. And I'm like, what the fuck? Neither here nor there. So I'm working in art so I'm consuming more content, like more and more. Like, I'm just letting the thing take me. And then I also came across this other dude that I recommended to you. Did I put you on?

Yeah, no, it's just really, really good. Who? he started a new company's name's the company's name is Speed Speede S-P-E-E-E-E-E-E-D 3-E-E-E-E-E-E-E's I wasn't aware of the

James Pumphrey Yeah, Pumphrey I wasn't aware of the other term Of the His past His past, yeah Donut is what it's called Donut?

Yeah, donut media I didn't never heard of donut media It's just crazy how big YouTube is I'd never heard a donut media and their fucking multi multi million view channel I was just even moving back to the city going up my parking garage

the amount of insane cars I see I'm just like how much money is out here He changed you know wait can you go back scroll down He changed the title of that video Which one? Yeah It used to be like why do Why do uh

Yeah I promise this story about cameras Is interesting I wonder if it if he looks at the algorithm and it wasn't hitting what it was supposed to? 100% that's what happened. 100%. But I like the original title. I did too.

I did too. It just probably didn't. The AVD wasn't where it was supposed to be. The click through rate was it. You know what I mean, Matt? Yeah. The video IQ shit that he's got in the upper right head corner. Anyway, I came across him because of the Stoosie video.

And he's another dude that I DM. as a fan and what I told him was the following that's not him James Murphy I told him I'm like yo because I went back

and looked at his history and what happened to him and Donut media is the same thing that happened to Infinite you know what I'm saying They sold Donut

So yeah Donut got investment VC investment And obviously I don't know the fucking ins and out Yeah But I you know But I can see what's up

Title changes God, you can see title changes. Well, view stats can. Fucking match that. Fuck, yeah. We spent way too long making this video about cameras. Why are like a camera so expensive? I promise this story about cameras is interesting.

And guys, it fucking is. And I am not a... I am not a camera type of dude like that. You can see the AB testing on this website from public videos. I want a new camera. Wait, scroll down. I want to see the... Which?

Hold your horses. Scroll down. You can see the AB testing. testing, holy shit. What's A-B testing me? The thumbnails, like which the thumbnail did the best. You can upload multiple thumbnails now. Yeah, three.

Which one did they use the bottom one? Oh, so that one. Yeah. Oh, wait, title though. That's title change, not the thumbnail. I didn't know why. I didn't know how, I didn't know you could, anyone could see this. I thought it was only on the.

Can you see that on mine, Matt? Look at the formal one. So anyway, so this October 7th, the first day. that I saw this, I was so compelled to let this dude know that he was good that I just fired off of a DM. And when I got there, I'm like, damn, 681. Like, it had 3 million views

his original why I left donut. Now it's got 6.4. Yeah. Right? But I hit him up and I say, yo, your Stozy video is a 10 out of 10. Great storytelling. Also, first video of yours that I've seen because he says in the past, it's like, hey, if you guys are here new, if you guys are new here, let me know. So I need to let him know. Yeah. It's a peer.

and it's a fan, which I think that I'm very... No, dude, this is the first time in my life that I've ever reached out. He's enlightened, man. He's just feeling... No, I'm not. I'm just... He's this fucking good.

When they deserve acknowledgement, you give them fucking crazy. No, that's not true. That's not true, because I never DM Peter McKinnon when I was fucking into his shit. I've never... You know, I don't do that. That's not my thing. Look how long it took for me to DM fucking fan.

I said I've been watching his shit since two years ago. Yeah, yeah. But this guy... I don't... Yeah, but keep on my hand? So I told them, I'm like, also for his video of yours, I've seen great first impression, insta followed as it finished. He said, yo, thanks, homie.

And then I told him on the LICA video, how good it was. He ignored you. No, no, no, no. I'm sorry. I have so much, I gotta be more like who. Why? Like, my brain is like, oh, tease, tease, tease. Hex is talking to someone whose videos he fucks with, the dude's replying.

So I'm like, so what negative happened? Yeah, I was saying there. But Hooke's sitting there like, it's just a positive. Like, Hook is like, I want to turn a negative into a positive. Like, that's how I live my life. And I was like, it's funny because you're sitting next to somebody who turns all his positives into negative. So like, they're like Yin and Yang right now. Yes, yes, yes.

I've been feeling it lately. They've got to be more. Like HOOC. No, I'm, I. Even during the Huk podcast, I got a text and I was just like, let me see it's sex. Yeah. No, it's not, it's not a bad text.

But I know what it's about and it's going to be annoying. It's not a bad text So anyway Yeah If I may put you guys on fucking game And he can vouch for me This dude's videos are fucking insane From an artistic standpoint

Storytelling standpoint Just as a 10 out of fucking 10 Creator Nice Matt and I were talking about it On the Around the bar But if if

YouTube had a YouTube wrapped which I don't know why they don't. They should. Who would be your top three channels that you've been watching this year? All lo-fi stations. Really? That would win.

But once Christmas comes along, once Christmas comes along, you're going to see the fireplace and all that shit. But I can tell you that I'm going to watch every single one of the videos that this guy releases. If he goes daily, I'm watching daily.

He won't. Too big of work. But Van Nuysstatt for sure. I watch him religiously. I started watching this dude that I recommended to maniac about spaces. I started getting into interior decorating just because of

I wanted to create something. I'm like the space that I live in, I had a revealing thing happened to me at some point in the last two years because I told Jude I'm like, I'm like, yo, the point of one of the biggest points in life is to how did I explain it? It

You know, fashion, if you care about your appearance, then you also have to care about the way that your house looks. And up until that very point, I didn't. I mean, I like putting spaces together. If you go to the garage mahal, like you see that these spaces. I feel like you low-key have to be. But I couldn't put it into a category in my brain as a thing that I could be interested in, tile work,

and, you know, like all the shit. Anyway, another dude's videos that I watch sparingly, only the ones that have to do with like his his loft is uh uh georgeine low and also a a a thing called small um no no forever forever house oh no ever house ever house never heard of it ever house ever house is so good it's literally what i what i wanted to do on on on the show where i invade the space invaders where i go and check out people's like spaces there they're terrariums um this is Dude, if you want a project, my whole living room. I'm not paying for it, but I will.

You don't have to. Just find me the dupes. Got you. Dupes. I put them on dupes. My whole living room is empty right now. And I really want to make this furniture and a swag, an aura that like, obviously, eventually I'll move out of this place and just take that with me.

Because I feel like every, I just get the fuck. I just get shit to fill in. And like, then I move. And I'm like, I don't want this anymore. I'm just going to start fresh. And that's been me every time. I want a fucking set foundational, modern, dope living room.

The first thing that you do is you don't get an L. Midlife crisis. You don't get an L couch. There's the first thing that you do. And listen, I am not anti-L couches. I have an L couch. But for your spot, that's not what you need. You need a two-seater like this and then like maybe three fucking chairs.

When the fuck are people coming over? And if it's about the video and if it's about the vibe, And it's about, you know, creating a nest for, you know, a hot little pretty young ting to come in there and be like, man, this guy's got his shit together. That's what you do. All right. Well, I would need, because I've looked at so many L couches, but I've never thought about just getting like a couch like this with a chair on the side and a dining table in the middle and plants up there. The bonsai's chilling his big brothers above him. Bonsai, we agreed that you were not going to take on a bonsai until you have plants.

Cheewee would fuck that plan up anyway. I don't know if I could get a real plant. Chewy would just... There's plants that you can hang. You didn't see any of the videos that I sent you, huh? It's just so difficult. I clicked on it for like a minute. Yo, bring it up, man.

Taco Bell last night. What'd you have? My usual order that since 1997, 1990s, what? I don't even know the items. Three Taco, Hartshell Supremes, no tomato, and a beef burrito supreme, extra beef, no tomato.

And as much, fire sauce that your boss will allow you to give me. That fire sauce is... I do the hot sauce. Fire might be too much. It's not too much. Not too much. Fire is crazy. Yeah.

It's so crazy. It's as crazy as what you said about the coffee. Two chicken cassidias. Hard shell taco. And... And? Sometimes I'll get the 12 count of cinnabund delights or whatever. Was that good?

I never had this. Amazing. They're either three or 12 and he gets the 12. I've never gotten to 12. Two or 12. I think it's two now. I've gotten two yet. And then sometimes I'll throw one

either a Doritos Taco or or the canteena burrito. The canteena shit is stupid. It literally made me, I was like 120. I was like, 120. I was like 228, 29.

How? Where? If we, if we stood, If we stood up next to each other, I've never been bigger than 212. 212 is the biggest I've ever been. That's crazy. I would kill to be 212.

The Shotsie, if you go back to the Shotsie Flycast, I weighed myself before the Shotsie Flycast, I was 2.29. And after? After you start yourself. Yeah, so I'm down like eight. I can't get under 200. I'm probably, if I got on the scale,

I'm probably 210-ish. 208, 210. I just can't fucking. It's so hard, bro. It's so hard. Food is the drug. Just pure addiction. Oh my God.

So good. I did get some food. Give me a O. I got some meal prep today. So I'm, how would you feel if next week it comes out that Elon Musk is like he does heroin every day? I'd be like, oh, damn, that's crazy.

You know what I'm saying? I'd be like, I don't think I would... Dan, that shit might be good for you. I don't think it would be that crazy to me. I don't know. I mean, heroin's a little extreme. Yeah.

Because isn't, who's the dude from, who's the most, the famous actor that died from heroin and no one knew? Unfortunately, the only thing, the only thing I can remember. The only role I can remember is from the fucking Hunger Games. The good guy from the Hunger Games. You know what I'm talking about?

The, the bigger. dude yeah he's a fucking I know his name I know his name yeah Godfrey yes yes yes Philip Philip Who's that guy

fucking you know what I remember one of my favorite one of my favorite one of my fucking godlike He was a godlike actor Yeah like you know That guy? Yeah Yeah he's not alive anymore Which is a fucking travesty

I've seen him in some other shit Click on his shit What else is he bad? On a long came Polly where he plays his actor friend and he's shooting basketball, bro, that's all I, that is what I, my core memory of him is.

And he was just doing heroin. He just died from overdosing on heroin. I'm almost positive, almost positive. I do be wondering sometimes and not to sound like a bad influence, but crack. That's why I was like, crack.

Or like heroin, like black tar heroin. Like, that's got to be feeling good. You're insane. What about salvia? How do you feel about salvia? I never tried it. No, but what would you try it? I think stuff like that fries your brain too much.

Like, it just looks like it fries your brain. But like if you're you and it doesn't matter at this point. Yeah, it does. Yes, yes, yes. Do I want to try salvia? No. Do I want to try crack maybe? Yeah, I feel the same way.

If that's what the answer. Salvia is. Salvia seems. Extreme. When it just makes you... More than ayahuasca? I don't know what I... If it does that to me, I don't want to.

I'm pretty sure heroin makes you do that. He just said crack. Yeah. Yeah. The come down might be fucking rough. Dude, I bet you... I bet you this guy would be like... Hold on.

Let me look cool. At some point, at some point, he's like, ooh, crack. Halo. Halo. If I tell crap and played Halo... I'd probably dominate. That's,

I don't know. You probably think you were dominant. When I was in rehab, this Australian dude said meth and Addy are the same fucking thing. He said he would take either one, whatever he could get his hands on. That makes sense is what you were doing. Well, I think my shit was lace with meth because it definitely wasn't 100% Addy. So would you ever look at it?

But yeah, not to sound like a bad influence. Before you took it, would you ever look at it and you were like, this probably isn't Addy? Fuck now. Oh. I would just. Oh, I just would assume once I had it. Did he get to the point to where, like, you would hold,

is it like a pill or something and then go up to the mirror and say, Oh, seven, yeah. No, I'd hold like six. The 12 Apostles. Have you ever heard his story about the ice cream? No. I mean, I was just, I mean, I don't know how I explained it funny, but I was up for. It's not funny, but it's.

I was up for like three. day straight and then it just got to a point which was like pretty regular of my schedule this might have been like four days or something but it was up for like three or four days straight because my schedule was like stay up for 72 sleep eight to 16 stay up for 72 sleep eight to 16 but then one night I was just so fucking tired lay down like about to pass out I and I would always take like Xanax and stuff before I would sleep just so I could like try to sleep better because I was my fucking heart was about explode but I was like eating ice cream just Just like laying down like this ice creams on my chest and I'm like sitting there.

I think probably watching a Casey Nice that vlog. And then the next morning I just fucking woke up and the ice cream's just all over me. He fell asleep eating ice cream. Tipped over just all on me, all on my bed, just melted. Yeah. Feeling like shit. And I don't even know if I like slept. It might have only been like two or three hours or something and then I woke up to that.

I was just like, oh my God. I think that's got to be wrong. bottom yeah that was that was that was towards the end that's never happened to me that's got to be that was towards the end for sure because never ever do I just randomly fall asleep like it's always like okay I'm getting tired I could probably fall asleep now phone down TV off okay let's try to fall asleep like it's never like I'm on a couch watching something to yeah like I just I cannot fall asleep like that so for me to just be eating and then just fall asleep.

Like that is, that does not happen to me. Didn't you say there was something about ordering food as well? Like, you fucking... Oh, I ordered food one time. Fell asleep. Stay out, it fell asleep at like 11 p.m. up for some days. Felt asleep at like 11 p.m. woke up, it's 5 a.m.

I'm like, fuck, the fucking food. I didn't even eat. So I was like, is it here? And then I see it's here. I'm like, okay, it's still outside. This is at an apartment complex. So I go find the food outside. It's raining.

and there's cover there's it's in a plastic thing but in the plastic thing there's little it's in a bag it's in a plastic thing but in the plastic thing there's like holes i think four little holes rats and the no the rain got in it a little bit but i still tried eating it because i was just that hungry and it was like 4 a.m and i was just cracked out and it was just like immediately when i took my first bite it was um what it there's like a hot chicken place or so like not frank's hot chicken it's like something hot chicken some kind of nashville shit yeah some kind of chicken tender place but I tried eating it and after the first bite I was just like I just fucking ate rainwater like spicy chicken and I just felt instantly

sick and then I just put it down and then just I don't know it's a greener pastures man to greener fucking pastures so the fact that you did we went through all that and you're still like no crack would be fun what the time you gotta go on five yeah but yeah at the end of the day
