What were you talking about? You were saying that... A little stummy hurt? Yeah, my summer... I feel like... I feel like in like 30 minutes, it's going to get bad. Yeah, I won't... If there's a harsh cut in the flycast...

It's funny you mention that, because I literally woke up, took two... Like, I woke up and it felt like one of those school days where you, like, didn't sleep. I don't know if you had these, but it's like... I'd go to sleep at, like, three, four, I am, then I'd have to wake up at 7 a.m. But like right before I slept,

I ate a shit ton of food. And then I woke up, like, didn't even really have time to shit. Had to like rush, take like a two minute shower. My stomach just fucking is like rumbling on the school bus. Today felt like one of those days. Your stomach's rumbling on the school bus. Yes.

You never had, bro, all the time. I don't know if I had like shit at school like that. I would. You would? There was just like, I would just say like, I don't feel like something's wrong with my stomach really I just like half the shit so bad so I'd like go to the nurse's

office like this morning I took two shits I woke up took a shit laid back down like texted you like yo we're so good for 10 whatever you were like yeah and I was like all right fuck

I knew we were both hoping one of us would bail I knew it this is the earliest we've ever done the flight guest yeah this is a 10 a m podcast we're good so right And I could tell it was like a fire. I usually want this, but I could not fall asleep last night.

Yeah. But took a shit, texted you, and you were like, yeah, I'm good. And I was like, fuck. So then I got up again, took another, I had to take another shit, take a shower, came here. And then even right now, and like when I walked in, I was like, dude, do I have this shit? Like, I do have this shit again. It's like, if I went to go take a shit, I get shit right now. I wonder if that's like, and it's not good, man.

My fucking stomach hurts. I wonder if it's like a, I feel like we, let's go on a gastro doctor date. What do they do with those? I don't know. The only thing I was scared of is getting a fucking colonoscopy. I don't want one. I think I had one where they shove like a tube up your butt. Yeah.

See, I don't want that. But I know something is wrong here. Yeah. Something is wrong. And I don't know what it is, but I don't want to find out. What did you, how late do you eat? it depends if I'm doing good

if I'm doing good like I was Last night what did you eat Not not anything good What you eat And like what time How close before sleep I think I like

Got done with the Big Mac And then fell asleep 10 seconds after Like this That'll do it That'll do it But it's always been like this No matter what

Obviously Obviously like When I eat shit, I feel terrible. And I know that and I still eat shit because I'm a dumb American. Yeah. But it's even when I was eating good, because I was eating super clean at the beginning of the month and I still just like, fuck, dude, when I stream, I am so like gassy all the

time. Really? I'm just like, ugh. Something, I don't know, something could be wrong or, well, I mean, you also, I feel like you go on or at least lately like you've been going on and off of like eating clean yeah and i don't know what's in the meals that you eat because like when you eat clean do you eat those those meals that page gave us uh yeah those and then like bedgies and shit in it maybe like switching up your diet every now and then it kind of fucks with you your body has to get used to it last night i ate

I did like a 4.30. I didn't eat all day. Worked out at 4.30. Then did yoga at 5.30. Even though I completely half-assed that. And then I got home and just like, I don't know, I wasn't hungry. But I'd say by like seven, I had a like protein fruit smoothie. Then at eight, I ordered Chipotle with chips.

Then I shouldn't get the chips. And then after that, I had like. a banana with peanut butter then I had like six rice cakes so it's just so much food then I like laid there for a few hours or whatever and fell asleep but then I woke up and my stomach

is fucking rumbling like it's not it's not even like a I have to shit it's like I'm uncomfortable and I don't like this it's such a terrible feeling it's such a terrible feeling and I have it like right now it's like a

am i should i be in fetal position yeah we might fuck i don't want to take a shit after you take a shit but it is it's just right there and it's not comfy i really i really was expect because i looked on instagram and i saw you at a an instagram story this was probably

nine a m or something and it said like six or seven hours ago and i was like oh he's not waking up oh yeah that's probably why you and matt texted did matt text you privately too or just me? I texted him. I was like, something tells me I forget what I said,

but it was like something tells me hitching going to be awake because it was like 930, no one said anything. I was expecting it to be

chocked postponed or whatever. Yeah, I don't miss shoots. I'm there. I don't miss shoots like that. Not anymore.

I don't think. You don't miss them anymore. Did I used to? Well, you went a year and a half. Well, yeah, besides that. Besides that. Lately, I've been pretty good, though.

No, you have been good. But I wanted to do it early. But, I don't know. It was just a bad time last night. Yeah, I've been staying up super late playing my Pokemon game. Is that the one that I'm in? Yeah, yeah. First gym leader, man.

What were my Pokemon? It was Onyx. So uncofy. Onix Giridos. Onyx, Gerdos, and was it Alika Zam? Yeah, it might have been Al-Qazam. That's a fucking God squad. Yeah, that's a good squad.

What, you just had rat attach? I can't remember. You're a good way to kick it off. You're the first gym leader. You show up to the first gym. He has the Onyx, an Alika-Zam, and a Gerados. Yeah, the second gym leader, whoever it was has like a M-2. And you're just like, oh, okay.

But I feel like at those low levels, they probably suck. Eh Not in this particular game And this game is still pretty damn hard So it's just the exact same Like what Pokemon Do you choose What Pokemon can you choose between

At the very beginning It's like Blake George and I's favorite Pokemon So it's either far-fetched Growlith or Magicarp Really? Magicarp?

Yeah Can you I mean I thought Magic Carp couldn't even get like tackle I think in This, like, mod, he can get tackle. He, like, starts with tackle, and that's it.

But then you'd have to, like, build him up to Girdos. Damn, you still haven't beat it? No, it's hard, dude. Yeah? It's hard. I mean, you get to the third gym and there's a snorlax, and you have a level 15 something. So you think it's harder than regular? A hundred, without a doubt.

Yeah. It's not even close. Who's the... Who's been the hardest gym leader so far? Matt Craig. Not close. Really? Matt Craig was so hard.

Does he a snorlax? He had a snorlax. He has three Pokemon. He's listening to this right now. Yeah, it's so happy. He has a snorlax. Like, now he's laughing at his PC. Yeah, he for sure is.

He has a snorlax that is like, he's like the fourth gym leader. And there's like a huge jump between the third and fourth. If you don't have like a fighting move that'll beat a snorlax, he will literally never die. And then when you finally beat his snorlax His second Pokemon is Mew2 Four gems in Mac Craig knows what he's doing

Yeah It's a good pick Snorlax That is I haven't seen another snorlax That was the only snorlax I saw the whole game No one else No other gym leader picked Mew2 Dude I have fought like Aleka Zams

Nine Mutus and Muse Alecazams Charzards A ton of Charzards, a ton of Mutus. I should have picked Charzard. A few, like, dragonites and stuff. I thought about, like, picking my favorite, like, shit Pokemon. Like, it'd be, like, ratita.

Is that his fucking name? I feel like an idiot saying. Ratata. Yeah, but it's ratatatat. It's fine. People know who you're talking about. Ratatatat. Pidgey and fucking...

Dude those for the deal. I feel like so much nostalgia playing it again. I haven't, I haven't, like, completed a Pokemon game in a very long time. I always start them and then I never finish them. There was a whole, I don't know what type of game you'd consider it, but in 2020 when I was cracked off me tits,

there was an online Pokemon thing and it's like you... Pokemon, M.O. Yeah, MMO. Yeah. And like you literally like see people passing you and all that and everyone has a bike and everyone has, there's like mods to where the bikes are like crazy shit.

Yeah. And you can, buy like outfits. It used to be me and these two other kids would play. And I bought like a team rocket outfit and I would like stand outside of places. Like it was so fucking nerdy. I would like stand outside of random houses. And like people, I don't know, they like pass by go in the house.

And I'm like, I bet they think I'm a real. They think of like an NBC. That is the weirdest way to get like. Dude, it was, I don't know. Entertainment. Yeah, I found that so entertaining. They're just walking by you and you're just wondering. Yeah, like, they don't even know.

Well, I bet he's trying to talk to me right now. Dude, that is so funny. Yeah, I used to. I bet you there were people that have, like, grinds and stuff like that. I kind of grinded it. Did you? Yeah, for like, well, for like three days. That's not grinding.

I'm talking about, wow, that's like 72 hours of gameplay. Oh, three days straight. Yeah. Oh, yeah. No, duh, of course. Of course, three days straight. Yeah, three days straight. Maybe you get four days.

You wake up and do stuff and then play MMO at night. No. I think I got to like level, I don't know. Maybe like a level 60 Charzard or something I had. But then like a three day period. People do like speed runs and shit of that. Of MMO? Or like Pokemon.

The fucking, I found out the, the strap was like, what is the Pokemon under Nito King Is that his name? Naterina Niterino I think so And I think that's a secret to like

Beating the game quick It's just only Leveling him up You just fucking dominates everyone That was like the speed run strap for a little bit It's like you Get a Pokemon You get your starter

Then you get a Nitteran Hope that it's the right level Or whatever Nature whatever. I don't really care about all that nerdy stuff. I just like play. I just like, but like, then you just dominate all of the elite four with a Nidokin. I might have to get a Pokemon tat. I'm actually going today.

What would you get? I'm not, I'm not going to get anything, but I still have to finish my right tit. It's the Nip, man. I'm like literally stressed out about it. And it's not like helping my stomach. Like, I woke up and was like, okay, I got, I gotta do this fly cast. Then we have a video after this. And then I have to go to the tattoo place. Yeah.

And I'm gonna have to get my fucking nip tatted. It hurts so bad. Does it? I might just tell her like fill in a little bit on my arm. I'm calling it. Yeah. Because I'm not ready for it. I have to like mentally prep.

Can you like get drunk and do it or like? Yeah. Uh, that's, I did that. I think I was like that for my left. nip. There's like a not a coffee shop,

but it's sort of like a restaurant right beside the tattoo place and I would just go there and buy a few shots and then come and then like a drink to go or something come back so I'm like slightly tipsy

or drunk and getting it done. They say you shunny because they like thin your blood but it really I don't know. It doesn't. My tattoo artist was like really makes no difference.

But yeah, the nip hurts That was the first pain that I understood how people, like, pass out from pain. Damn. Yeah. I was like, it was so, it's crazy. Is it like on your nipple? On the nipple.

Literally on the nip. And, like, just a needle with ink scraping it. And it's not like she just, like, goes over it. And it's like, boom, boom, boom, okay, we're past a nip. Like, it's like, she has to do. your nipples like black right now? My left nipple is. Oh my God.

Oh my God. Oh no. Dude, it hurts so bad and it's hurting my fucking stomach even more just like thinking about it. Because I have to shit right now and this, the thought of it's just, it's literally stressful. Dude, in one of the, uh, another podcast that I watch, um, or I was actually like listening to it, but it's a video podcast.

Um, it's, it's these, uh, do you know who? Ledwig is. One of the name. Yeah. Well, he has a podcast that he does with his three, with his three buddies. And they got, they got a, they got like a goal that was complete through Patreon or Patreon. And so the, the incentive for that was that one of the guys gets a full body wax, like a full body wax on the stream or during the stream or podcast.

So there's, there we go. there's some ideas. There's some Patreon ideas. So they're sitting there in a, in like a half circle. And then their buddy is laying there getting waxed at their podcast set up, but naked.

But naked. Really? Just getting waxed. And I was thinking about it. And I, dude, it was, I mean, it's hilarious. That's a great idea. Like, and he has Mike too. So he'll, like, be talking and, like, be in the conversation.

And then she'll rip a piece of his leg. hair off and he's like ah and then he'll go right back into talking uh but the reason I thought about is because he said it hurts worse than a tattoo getting uh probably at certain places for sure dude at one point so I'm driving listening to it and at one point they just go ah

and apparently is she put the it was like that was when she ripped like she put a line down his shaft and on his ball sack and ripped it. Do they wax the balls? Yeah. No, they wax.

He said the, dude. The worst part that I was like listening to it and they said, what is the worst part? And he said the tip, like the tip. She would wax. She waxed the tip. Wax the dick tip. It's not like hair on the dick tip. Apparently there is.

He said that's the part that hurt the worst. And when he said that, I'm literally driving. But what the fuck? Yeah. And then I've been like doing one of the. these ever since I heard that. Like waxing? Yeah.

I bet at certain areas that hurt so bad. Like, probably where girls have to get it wax. Like, on the sides, like where you're just like sensitive. Or like here? Like here, like under the ass. The tank Gucci?

Yeah. The Gucci area. Oh my God. Dude. Oh. It's just like all sensitive, loose skin down there. So when you rip it, it probably like comes with for a little bit.

I was like, dude, I don't know I'm close with a lot of people I'm a very You know Bless I live a very blessed life Where I have a good amount of really close friends But I don't know if I have

You lay naked on the table in front of me I've never I've never really Been Down for like naked Being naked with like your guy friends Me neither It's like there are certain groups of guy friends where it's like...

They just like show each other their ball sacks. Yeah. Like that's what's funny. Yeah. Even in like high school and like the locker rooms or whatever the fuck people did. Think of two people right now. Three people off the top of my head. They were just like always showing their fucking ass and dick to everyone.

And we'd be like, ah! Yeah. But like guys do that all the time. But I'm not one of them. I don't know. Yeah. I don't think I could do that. I could maybe if there was like, if one of my,

if one of my friends was comfortable enough to be the person being waxed, I might be able to sit there and be like, but I will never be on the table. I wouldn't even want to be in the, like, how are you doing a podcast and your friends laying there with this dick out? Just like getting waxed. Dude,

I mean, it was one of the most entertaining podcasts I've ever listened to. So they're definitely doing totally right. But like, I can't imagine I didn't even like think of anything like that well I don't know what we could do probably not something like the bar is too high

now so but I guess I didn't even like think of I guess you can do whatever the fuck you want yeah you really can it wouldn't even have to be and the funny thing is is their podcast set up is in like an attic like they re they refurbished an attic and like or whatever you call that

and like they built it out I'll put like a walls up and everything and it looks like a, it looks like a backyard in their attic. So they're literally like in an attic and there's this, a professional waxer there, butt naked, their friend butt naked on a table just getting waxed. It's like,

holy, and like imagine being like the jackass guys. Yeah. They see each other like shit. Yeah. Or like pee on things. Dude, they like pee on each other and fucking like. drink each other's piss and it's like what the fuck like i i'm i'm pretty comfy with my friends

but not not naked not like get naked and hey guys i'm gonna go take a shit on the floor like that's gonna be so fun yeah in certain areas it probably hurts worse than a tattoo like tattoos on the arms aren't too bad and even joe rogan i saw joe rogan talking to someone he was like People make tattoos seem like they hurt way worse than they actually do. So I like Google Joe Rogan tattoos to like see where he has them. But his are like all on his arm. So I'm like, oh, okay, you don't. Yeah.

You don't get it yet. Mine was fine. That's what I said. Mine was fine. That's like the meatiest part of your body. Yeah. That might be what. Because we still have like shading to do on this arm in like these like little blank areas.

But I'm really not trying to get. get the nip today. It's like, the endorphins are crazy. Like, you like, you get, like,

adrenaline and you just fucking, like, riled up. You get, like a high? When the pain stops, yeah, like,

even though, say she's like, I don't know, tattooing in the middle. I'm like, ah, fuck it hurts, it hurts.

And then she gets their nips, and I'm like, oh, my God. And then she'll go back to another place. And just because it hurts so much less,

it's like, so, not relaxing, but it's like such a relief. It like feels good to go from that much pain to like no pain. Yeah. I'm not gonna lie, I kind of need a shit. You can go, man. You want to take a shit break?

Yeah, man, you got it. All right. Because my stomach is bubbling and it's fucking with me. Sorry, Matt. How you doing, man? God damn. You're right? Yeah.

I mean, my shit's fucking pure black. I can't even fucking think When I have to shit I remember a team with A team with snipe down for Like I don't know A few events But one event on

We made it to Sunday I think there was like Six teams left or whatever And then that morning I ate like hard boiled eggs And like some other shit for breakfast And we couldn't even warm up We're like

most of the time when you warm up you're like scrimming another team or whatever but we couldn't even like scrim another team because I just had to I just had to shit nonstop it was so bad and then I played and then we played SQ for like top three

and we lost and it was like the worst I've ever played so anyways you were blaming on hard boiled eggs I fucking couldn't stop shitting my pants dude if you had eaten clean your whole Halo career you might have been the best player to ever live

You know what? You might be honest of them. Because you, because right now I'm probably like, what, top five? Top ten. Mm-hmm. No, you're, yeah, you're up there for sure.

Yeah, so if I ate clean, if I had my shit together. Yeah. I would have made the top 25 list. Yeah. Because you blame, you blame Coldstone for breaking up the most underrated optic team. Uh,

we were fucking underrated. We were fucking underrated. good it was like surprising but then i mean i'm not going to blame the coldstone for that they were a way better team they were a way better team than us but like we were on a hot streak and then you know the whole coldstone situation happened yeah it was all cold stone if you hadn't got coldstone that day me and ace like jokingly still say that but like we're just joking like clodstone ruined my i'm not yeah i'm not gonna have fucking honestly i think we we were on like such a hot streak.

Basically, if anyone doesn't know the story, and Halo 5, it was like me, I think it was me, Ace, knated, and straight sick. And then Ace was over at the Optic House. We were, like, just a brand new Halo 5 team just for them. We were shitting on everyone,

like shitting on the top teams, but we had yet to play Sentinels or... It was CLG at the time. CLG at the time. But they were the best team. And then eventually, A few weeks into it, we... It was like hype.

Yeah. It was hype for this one scrim. You guys were considered the second best team in the game. Yeah, because we were beating everyone else and everyone considered them the best because they were. And then ACE is over. We set up a scrim. Aces over.

I think we like went to the mall for some reason. And then we got Coldstone. Eight like a whole... I don't know the fucking sizes, but just like down. A big-ass thing of Coldstone ice cream. Came back. We, me and Ace, like, I think I was saying something to Ace, like, I feel like shit. Like, just not fucking good.

I mean, I was also cracked off me tits. So it's like, I was just down bad. And then he was saying, like, yeah, I fucking, I feel like shit too. Like, my stomach hurts. But anyway, we scrim. We literally get like 11-0ed. Don't win a game. And it was like, it was so bad because, like, there was so much hype behind the scrim.

and then we finally play them and they just like shit on us like i'm sure the games were like pretty close but it's like once we lose like six straight we're like they're gonna 11 oh us because like now that they now that they're ahead of us like six oh they over i know i know like frosty tj like they want to 11 oh us yeah because like people are saying like oh i don't know these guys just formed they're pretty good they're beating everyone p j said they went into that scrim like it was a final. Yeah. Like,

it was not a scrimmed to them. They wanted to destroy you. And like usually in scrimms, you can kind of tell when another team, not like gives up, but sort of like, let's off the, let's off the gas.

It lets off the gas. That didn't happen. They were just like, no matter how much they were up. They just kept going. Just like you can, yeah, you can definitely tell

when like people are going hard or not. That's so funny. I remember we played, who's the fucking team was it at an event where our team was literally down like 18 to zero and like a team slayer

Yeah that was against snip down Yeah That was against EG right Yeah That's so fucking bad The game has started Dude it's like It might have been worse than that

But I'm pretty sure it was at least Like 18 to zero That has never happened to my entire career Halo 5 was a little different sometimes So yeah that's that was uh i think it was tugar on that team too right snipe down tuger i don't think they teamed is it did they not i don't even remember i just i'm pretty sure snipe down was on it was it like snipe down roy lunch or something maybe it's roaring lunch maybe that's what i'm thinking

of roy lunge that's so funny i think it was on coliseum too and that was right after you had that like crazy spree with the snipe was it after that well because that was that That was the highlight of my fucking HAL-5. Halo 5. Well, that was against E-6. So that was a Pax event. It was a four-team tournament. And whoever won the whole tournament qualified for champs.

Is that how it was? Or X games. It was a qualifier. I don't know how people like you or like APG remembers everything. Yeah. I can't remember shit. Like something. thing. I mean, I don't know if I, like, fried my brain or if it's always been like this.

I feel like it's always been like this. But, like, you know, you remember more about my Halo 5th career than I feel like I remember. Yeah. Well, I mean, that 2016 year, 2016, 2017 is like ingrained in my memory. Because, like, I was busy so much. And it was so new for me that I was like, I was literally like living. I was like living my life to the fullest every day. So like I remember like everything that happened. What's one thing you did for like once you like started doing all the optic content, all different types of videos? What's like one thing you dreaded doing? Or is there one thing?

When we started, it was very organic at the beginning. Like Hector would be like, yo, we have to do this. and I'd be like, okay. And then, you know, like I was doing visions, but visions weren't sold. Like, there was no sponsor in vision. Smooth comp was the only thing that we were doing that was sponsored. Even the podcast wasn't sponsored. The trivias weren't sponsored at the beginning.

Nothing was sponsored back then. And then whenever we started getting, like, whenever we started having, like, whenever we started having, like, weekly meetings with the sponsors, that's, that was a part were like, I was like, dude. Like, it felt like they were, like, it felt like for a little bit, people were coming into like our creative process and were like changing stuff. Like, then I was like muting the cursing and stuff. And I was like, dude, I don't like this.

What about like a certain video or like, uh, the video, the second smooth comp got scrapped. Which one was that? We, we piled, we put a bunch of, we had some ghetto smoothcoms sometimes. Oh, there were some, there were some bad. There were some bad ones. But there were some really good ones. So, but the, uh, there, we had one where we put, we put smooth comp, or we put, uh, uh, brisk matas in a pyramid and stood them up and then threw a ball at them to try to see how many

you could knock down. Yeah. And that got scrapped because we were like destroying the product. Yeah. We're literally throwing a ball at it. And like, I was so young in the end. like I didn't have that frame of mind at all like nowadays I would know not to do that

but like back then I was just like let's just make something cool like come up with shit like dude old ideas out of thin air yeah that's I I'm doing that more so now than I've ever done it I we're out to shoot something in an hour and I pitched it and I don't really even know

how I saw that and I was like how I've heard of Fuck it, it's deal or no deal Yeah I'm glad you read my mind Like can I In deal or no deal It's howie Mandel

And like I understand the concept I just need to Apparently I'm hosting it And I don't know I don't remember what Howie does In deal or no deal There's a there's a case The intendant

Or the the participant Picks a case You put that case to the side Then they keep picking cases And they're trying to get the highest number, but it could be a low number. These ideas are good, but it's like, it's just a matter of like pulling them off. Yeah.

So, yeah. So I don't know. But we have like everyone in, in town. Yeah, no, this week is going to be a lot of fun. We've got like all the Warzone guys are here. Blake and Georgia are coming in tonight. And then all like all the Valerent squad, the Cod team. I think some of the Halo guys too.

What was your favorite video? video to do the vision besides vision besides vision um the first trivia the first trivia is so good yeah those trivias used to bang like you go back and even like look at the numbers the trivia has like 1.1 million which one the first one really the very first trivia the one where which one was it I play the black ops two theme dude you It's like the most quotable video that like I ever uploaded on that channel. But at one point we played the, we played the,

uh, the, uh, the, the, the, the, wwww,

wwww, www, www, ww, wab, it's like a wubb, it's like a wubby, wub,

sound. And it, before it drops, Mike goes, space. I was like, why did he do that? But it sounds like,

do with anything? No, he just goes, space. because it sounds like it sounds like a Star Warsy kind of thing I think it's what he was thinking

and then you go dude this is obviously fast and the furious dude it's so good the whole video is so good and that was before like I had it really gone out of my comfort zone

Hector told me to do vision when I did vision why am I doing this it's like comfy I do I say like that all the time actor told me to do vision

and then he told me to do vision and then he told me to do the podcast and smoothcom. So that was something that like all three of us had always done. And then for trivia, I just did it randomly. And then I uploaded it one day and it just banged. And I was like, holy shit. Remember when Lil Durk was on the podcast?

And it was going to be me, Hacks, Bose and Dirk. But Dirk's friend, ASAT was over. And like, he was just on it instead. I was so pissed. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That would have been a, yeah.

like that'd be a i'd just throw that on instagram like throw back thursday yeah podcast with my bro yeah i do i do that with chris johnson all the time it's chris johnson ch j2k the running back for the uh was he on a podcast no no he just went he went to ecu uh he went to ecu so i like met him when he was a freshman in in college and like took a took like a fan picture with him uh My dad took it and I'm like sitting there. I'm like a really young kid. And so then whenever he like has the most yards and a single season or something like that for the Titans, the Tennessee Titans. And so every once in a while that'll come up and then I just reply with that picture.

I'm just like, bit of fan for a long time. I was about to say I don't think I have a picture with anyone famous, but then I remembered. I do have one picture with someone really famous. Oh, dude. But anyways. I can't get back into that Dude that was so fucking I had people DMing me asking

Keemstar DM me and asked if I'm dating Selena Dude I had I didn't even respond I was like let's keep this mysterious I'm so fucking pathetic I think I had literally like seven or eight people text me Yeah it was a it was a bigger deal than what I thought it would be I feel like it's because

like I don't know it's because it's a it's Paige's friend like Paige has a friend that just happens to be extremely famous that's how I see it at least so like I

when you're around when you're around her whole friend group you like forget Dude Paige's friend group is so like great yeah they're like really good friends like everyone she's friends with they're like good friends

they're kind of like it's kind of like like it's such a different life when I go there it's like they all like hang out together and like do shit it's like

it's like yeah their friend like we're all super good friends and we all live right beside each other but like no one really like I mean people might

like get a coffee together or like you had a friscoeiner or something but they are they like do stuff every day yeah That's why I enjoy my little vacations out there sometimes.

Oh, no, they're a lot of fun. We just got back. I think it's funny seeing Paige in her element. Because she's always like in work, work mode here. And then she gets out there. It's so funny. I've told Paige, I was like, you better not, like, randomly get sick of us and leave.

Yeah. I've always thought about that. Like, I did not want that to happen. She, like, loves the cod team. She, like, treats the cod team like brothers. and so like I don't think she I don't think she'll I don't think she would leave hopefully not and she's super super good at her job but yeah like uh we were out there we were out there a few days ago and it's just like they're just she was like yeah let's go to let's go to my my friend's house

in Malibu so we just go to Malibu and it's beachside and there's just so nice California weather is like extremely nice yeah it's like the perfect weather like get off the plane get out of the get out of lax and the first time the weather like the the like weather hits me I'm like wow

yeah Cali like Cali's super nice the weather hits you you're like nice Texas it's like what the fuck it's so hot dude I could feel it like super humid it's super windy it's bipolar

you know in a at DFW when you go to baggage claim there's like a circular thing like a circular door you have to go through and then when you get out of that door you're in baggage claim I was going through that door like a oscillating door

and I get out the other side in baggage claim not outside just in baggage claim and I could feel the heat from outside in DFW and I was like I'm surprised you're wearing pants today I don't have any shorts

I don't have any shorts Yeah. I've Two laundry. What is your, do you have a maid service? No. Is your apartment a mess?

Uh, the laundry piles up. My, my apartment's not really that messy. It's just my laundry. I don't know why, but I was like losing my mind yesterday. Just because I've been,

did nothing for literally like three days straight besides like lay on my couch. And yesterday I was just like losing my fucking mind and like just walking around my apartment and it was just fucking gross. I was like, why can't I, why

are some people so, why is it so fucking hard for me to just like do the dishes, clean shit up, organize shit, like why do I go to Page's apartment and it's just fucking, it's so clean, even with like all the shit she has, whether it's like plants,

pictures, fucking. It's like, remember Mike's room at the scuff house? house. Yeah. Always spotless. Bed always made. And then you go to Pomaj's room. You're like, oh no.

And you're like, what the fuck? Pomash had the biggest fucking room, too. Yeah. But it was always so gross. I mean, same with my room as well. My room was bad, too. Yeah. We were all.

We were all pretty bad except for Mike. Yeah. Well, and Will. Yeah. But Will always had his door shut. So I saw Will, like, never. Yeah. Even when I moved into the six.

50-50 house. Like, never, the only time I'd see Will is, like, for a video or if I'm, like, making breakfast. He'll, like, come out, get a coffee and then go back in. I need to fucking, I've said this for, like, two years now, but I want to get into day trading and, like, go over to Will's apartment or wherever he lives one day and just be, like, just, I'll buy a laptop, come to your apartment, sit behind you. Whatever you put money in, I'll just copy. It's funny because whenever, like,

because that's how it works. People say that to him all the time. Like, dude, can you give me or like, I'll give you this? And he's always like, yeah, yeah. Like, yeah, sure. And then I saw it happen in real life, but like he doesn't do it. Okay, here's the story that I'm trying to get to. So we were at, we're at Haywire.

It was like this optic meeting. Do you remember the, I don't know if you, oh, no, you were cracked. There was like this optic meeting. or dinner that we had at Haywire for, for, it was like when the, uh, the huntsman first flipped over to Optic. And, um, and Will's there. And, and, and Hector goes up to Will and goes, yo, like,

okay, I got this money. Like, like, like, I'm gonna give you this money and then you, you put it in and then like, you know, we'll, we'll work it out that way. And he's like, yeah, yeah, no, like, we'll see, you know, okay. And then Hector leaves. And then I started laughing. I was like, man, that, that shit ain't happening.

And he goes, well, it is high. illegal so oh really yeah it's just so funny how many people are just like yo i'll just like give you the money and then you like but whatever whatever hector had said he was like well he was like yeah yeah sure and then hector walked away he was like that's not ever happening yeah i need to i need to fucking do that though really because like i see so many videos or like i guess this isn't really the best like a way to have faith and stuff, seeing it on like TikTok and YouTube and all this other shit.

And people who like have some extra, I just don't know what the fuck to do with extra money besides spend it. I'm so fucking bad with money. I'm just so bad. I'm just so fucking bad. Like in every, not in every aspect of life, but like just I have to

fucking figure something out. Like why can't my just got to rewire my brain I guess. I'm so like stagnant right now. Haven't streamed and fucking. Yeah, you need to start streaming. Yeah.

I plan on doing it today, but we have this video. We have the video after. And then I just got a fucking reminder for my tattooed yesterday. So I got to do that. But yeah. I definitely need.

I've noticed I might need streaming. Like my, I feel like my streaming schedule was perfect for me. You were crushing it for a little bit of that. I'd wake up and I'd stream. It'd only be like three, maybe four hours max. But like it put me in a good routine.

Yeah. Like it like started my day off well. Like ever since I stopped streaming, like my life's been. You're a very routine heavy person. If you get into a routine, if you get into a routine, you're good. But if you get knocked out of it. Yeah, I fall You fall hard

You swirl Yeah Swirl? I don't know Swirl You swirl When you stop When you get out of your routine

You just start swirling Spiral Yeah What the fuck? I said swirl I really I really do fucking Also I think like

It's streaming Therapy At least for my stream Because all I do, every fucking stream is like we just talk about our problems. Well, I just talk about mine and they just listen. Then yes. And it's the same fucking problems every day. But it's like-

It's therapy for you then. Yeah. It really is therapy for me. And I think this like break of how long has it been? Maybe like a month and a half. This break of not streaming has made me realize like I, I. Like it's good for me. To stream?

Yeah. And I'm like kind of excited to get back into it. Even though the only thing I'm not fucking excited for it, and people always tell me, oh, just IRL stream, IRL stream. For one, I don't even think you could IRL stream in our area. The fucking service is so shit. It's so bad. But for two, I wouldn't know what the fuck to do with IRL stream.

But my point is this, I don't mind streaming, talking. It's pretty much what I do my whole stream anyway. No one's there for the gameplay. But it's just like the... I just don't enjoy sitting there playing video games. And I get like super pissed off. Because like once you take hella fucking Adderall and then you stop and then you try playing video games again,

especially for like as long as I did, you just don't want to... I don't know what it is. On top of being 30 and been like doing this since I was 12, I just like don't... I don't lock in. Like I never sit there and I'm like focus and I'm like shitting and it's like I just get angry. And it's not even fake anger.

It's like like people, you know, people will like try to be angry on stream. We're like, you can tell what they're like exaggerating. I mean, everyone's done that. But like I, I'm like genuinely mad. You like get angry. I'm like my body gets warm. I'm like sweating under my. pits like I'll hear

I'll hear like hex randomly yeah but I'll like rage at the game hex me oh shut up and I just get so fucking mad it makes me so fucking mad but I understand I'm in like a room with like a bunch of other people people are working

so I gotta be like respectful for that but like genuinely I like genuinely I enjoy streaming but I just don't enjoy playing video games anymore. I like the thought of streaming and like, I just don't know what the fuck else to do on stream besides like,

like I literally start up my stream. Sometimes, sometimes I watch like YouTube videos just like listen to music, talk to chat. But then it's like 30 minutes of that now what? And so it's like I open up Halo Infinite and it's like I really don't want to play. Especially like I used to be good at Halo. And it's like now when I started up, it's just like, It's so fucking stressful. Because you feel like you have to live up.

Not even like I feel like I have to live up, but it's like depressing for me. It's like, God, I'm so, like, this isn't fun. Like, I know what it's like to, like, be good. And like, that's enjoyable. But, like, now I search matchmaking. I'm just another fucking kid. Yeah. And matchmaking.

It's like, imagine fucking. It's kind of how I. Formal goes into, or Seth goes into pubs. and playing cod and he's just going like 24 and 24 yeah it's like that's not fun yeah no i get that yeah so i don't know i'm definitely gonna start streaming i think i'm gonna do it i wonder people people were fucking with you playing minecraft for a little while Minecraft was that was like a crazy that was a good there's there's been a few waves that i've like thoroughly enjoyed fortnight was one H1Z1 was one

GTARP GTARP I'll put it like a A hat Actually that was fun But I'll put it like a three-force up there And then Throwing up a gang sign Fortnite

H1Z1 Wait what was the game we were talking about That uh Minecraft Yeah Minecraft Yeah Minecraft I feel like everybody has like a Minecraft wave

Yeah that was like fun to watch. It's funny because before I even played Minecraft, I watched, like, saw it, never interested, never watched it at all. Never watched a streamer, never watched a YouTube video. Just didn't know anything about it. And then I got out of fucking rehab,

and then I was living, like, 30 minutes away. So I'd drive down here, and I wouldn't, like, leave immediately. I'd kind of just, like, stick around. And, like, even, like, off stream, I'm sitting there, like, grinding. It was also fun, because me and formal, like, sort of started together. So we sort of had like, I don't know.

Like, oh, what'd you get? Come here, come here. Look at mine. Dude, that was so funny. Yeah. That was such a fun wave. Minecraft was fun. Maybe.

Maybe I could do that again. I'm gonna probably start streaming. I also said this like two Mondays ago. Like one of my mods or subs DME, when are you gonna start streaming again? And I was like, either Sunday or Monday. And this was like two weeks ago. But then those days came around.

I was like, I just, I need to, man. I know, like, it's so good for my routine. Like, it literally feels like a therapy session for me, but I just don't enjoy playing video games. So. There's definitely something, though. Like, I was at a...

There's something you can figure out. Yeah. Like, I wouldn't even mind IRL streaming. I just wanted, I don't know how to do it. Like, do I need a fucking backpack? You need a hot tub and a bikini. I wouldn't mind that either Get in there

You know Splis splash around I'd actually love to do that Be a hot tub Be a hot tub Yeah You should do it A hot tub guy streamer

Yeah but it's like Where am I doing that at In my bathtub I got all the girls that are like Putting hot tubs in a room Which is not hot tubs It's definitely cold water Yeah

It's just regular water How Where Some probably don't even have water in them Actually I think Yeah, some don't even have water in them. They just like blow it up, they put it, and they get in their bikinis. They just fucking sit in a inflate, like inflatable pool.

But the ones that do have water in there, how, how? They put a blow-up pool in a living room next to computer equipment and get in it and then stream. Yeah, something bad could happen. Dude. Like if like a hole... Has it ever happened where like a hole popped and a stream got shut off because... I'm sure there's been some leakage. I don't know if it's...

Isn't that? Like, could someone get electrocuted? I don't know. I don't know how that works. That would get views. That would get views. That would get views. Just fake electrocution.

Dude. Maybe this is my next step. To get fake electrocuted. Sunday or Monday, I'll be starting up streaming again. We got videos today tomorrow. Then I think there's like a, we're doing something Saturday.

Yeah, it was like a party Saturday. But yeah, I'll be back on my routine. You're back on your bikini shit. You're your bikini shit? Watching bikini streamers. Have you seen that Daltooge clip? That works too. Have you seen the Daltooge?

clip where next don't want me to guys there's this clip where Daltush is watching he's watching Amaranth and she's doing like a

like a ASMR stream and he types in her chat and he's like there's no way boys there's no way and then she goes thank you Daltush

and then he plays he plays the goal celebration from like a hockey team and he goes we got her boys we got her That shit is so funny Actually, I was doing that for a little bit

Like you were watching other Hot tub streamers Just watching Hot tub streamers on stream And it's like Everyone I mean Is it fucked up? I guess it's kind of fucked up

Because you're like I guess making fun of them But it's like It's not really making fun of them And I mean they know What they're doing It's sort of like outrageous Yeah

I don't think it's that I don't think it's bad Yeah But it's just like Even like AsMR I'll just like, like, I'll go through like just different categories. Like there's pool, beach, something, something.

There's a pool category? Then there's, yeah. There's literally, I think it's like pool, beach beaches and like something else. But there's that. There's like ASMR. And I'll just like click through for like 30 minutes or something. And we'll just, me and my stream will just be watching. And it's like fucking hilarious how like different, some,

people's sort of like an ASMR it's like I'll click on some girl and she like this one girl I click on it she has a white mic and a black mic and on both sides of her and she's just like

like licking both sides and it's like this is literally a fucking like porn dude like it is wild how far people will push stuff how is that not band

yeah yeah I don't know I mean I don't really care I genuinely don't care I don't give a shit I always think it's weird when people

like I think it's weird that people are like so obsessed with what other people are doing like yes and like genuinely like mad they'll be like arguing on Twitter or something

like talking shit like they shouldn't be allowed on the platform and it's like they still are viewers Like, no one is going to watch you play Rainbow Six Siege instead of watching, you know, a girl in a bikini in a hot tub. Yeah. No one's going to be like, oh, damn, you know, Jessica got banned.

So now I'm going to go watch fucking Cod Slayer Noob X. Tater Todd. Tater Todd. Play Rainbow Six. Like this is not just doesn't correlate It's why you gotta be like me and just watch them Dude people get so mad at the react They're like the React meta too

But I think like Oh really? Yeah I mean Yeah People say it to People say it to me every single day It's like damn you guys don't upload gameplay anymore All you do is just leach off of other people's content And it's like

Dude I wonder I wish we could upload Gameplay and it would be perfectly fine and it would blow up and we like but people have been we've been we've been doing daily content daily content i would say on average daily content for three and a half years and every single day for three and a half years people have said that we are underrated and we deserve to blow up and we've just been doing gameplay videos and it gets so like i i really appreciate it when people say

that but also it's Hearing that is like every day is so like taxing. It's like, dude, we're trying. We're doing, I feel like we were doing everything right. And then we, you know, we start reacting to stuff, which I love React content. Did I tell you to watch your video of It's Timmy, the Apex fucking 56 hours? Yeah. I was over, when I was over at Hilton, he like put it on the theater screen and we just sat there and watched it.

We like, actually, I actually watched like the whole fucking thing. And it was like, dude, it was crazy. Like how good he was. How good he is. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that was like a, and that was, that's, is that your best video or like your highest viewed? Yeah.

The Timmy video just passed up like one of our Minecraft videos. Can you monetize it? Yeah. Yeah. But can they like copyright strike you or something if they want? It depends on who it is. Yeah. So if it's like a, if it's like a, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,

band or something and you then obviously they what if it's like another gamer's screen or yeah whatever it just depends on the it depends on the person if somebody is ripping like this is something that ninja said when he when he was like blowing up

it's like if if somebody was just ripping his VOD and uploading it that's fucked up and he's gonna and people that's gonna get like copyright claimed and the monetization will switch over but if you're making your own content off of someone else's content

if you take their raw clips and make a you know montage out of it or if you do a react video like of someone who has never played Fortnite before and they're reacting to ninja building for the first time like that's all like content that is original content I think I think there are react channels out there that are just like holy shit you're just watching the video Like you're just watching the original video

But like how Blake and I do it I feel like we Yeah you guys We make it interact with the gameplay The whole time We try to make it like I feel like people like react Dude

I feel like people like React meta Because they feel like they're watching something With You know a creator that they enjoy Like whenever like What's like the Timi video If it wasn't you guys reacting to it I would never watch that

Right that's what yeah that's what like react react stuff is like it's a good way it's an easy way that like some people that don't know what it's like to create content they for some reason it just hits them wrong they're like yeah where you don't even record you don't even upload real content anymore all you do is reactivist like shut they're just losers you have no idea how hard the shit is sometimes i've but i mean that's just when i'm a fucking loser and like shit's not going my way and I'm like I'm gonna just start reacting to shit or what I mean reacting to shit is or like news but it's not easy like news fucking channels or whatever where they just report on everything to everything that's happening with everyone else yeah it's like shit like that and I'm like yeah you got to I've had those thoughts where I'm like dude these guys just fucking have to use everyone else I think that shit too yeah I think everyone gets everyone thinks that at a certain time but it's especially when like if things aren't going your way if if like if your streams like a little stale or like you're like man I'm about to just do easy ass videos then you go try you go do those easy ass videos and see if like you know see if it where it's funny because like if for most react videos this is throughout the the whole like internet people will the original creator want to see other people react

react to their content. I would like to see people react to anything I made. Right. I mean, I don't know if there's much to react to. That's what I'm saying. Like, I have,

there have been people have sent us, like, kind of, people have sent us videos of like, of, of the content creators that we were reacting to, like watching it on stream or something. And they're just smiling.

Oh, really? Smiley like super big. And like, that's what, I mean, that's how fucking Zia's and Bulu like link up with artists. Yeah.

It's because they were reacting to their videos. Those videos got like millions, even sometimes more views than the actual video. And now they're freestyling with Trippy Red and shit. It's because, like, people like that shit. Yeah. You also got to be, you just got to be, likeable in a certain. Yeah.

In a certain way. Like, people aren't just gonna. There's a reason why, like, B-Lew and Zia's, they're, like, always. It's crazy because they're, like, so. chill and like especially zius he's like so chill but it's like he somehow like delivers every time he's on camera like especially with his videos i wonder how often they're like if they make a video and they're like all right this was we didn't get nothing out of this like i wonder if they do do i didn't know if they were like workhorses when they when they came to the scuff house i remember like

setting up a station for them and i'm like yo like i'll like shoot whatever you guys need while you're here and at one point at one point z looked at me it was like yeah don't like we're good and I was like oh shit all right yeah they were just there to like help us really like there those two are like then like the beginning I guess of them blowing up those right as they were blowing up yeah yeah dude they're they're the best reactors they're the best reactors I think by far yeah I don't think it's even and the fact that they're still boys and they're still you know good friends and they're still doing this is like I think that's so typical Yeah.

Remember we did a 3V3 basketball video with them? Was it 3V3? Wait, or was it 2B2? I think I 1v1 Bulu. Did you? Yeah. I think I won B2. That was the last time I played basketball.

There was, I think we did a 2v2. Yeah, I think it was me. Or was it a 3v 3 or something? I guess it had to have been a 2V2. We filmed like 16 videos in one day with them. Really? Dude, Bose did 2 React videos. I did it.

I did relationships 101 with them. We did the podcast. We did two. How the relationships go? Was it like? Like my one of my top videos?

Yeah, I'd want to hear their reaction. They're fucking hilarious. They're so funny. We did a, I think we did a 2B2. I think it was me and you

against, uh, that Maddie? I don't know. Someone's pulling on. Maddie? Yeah, I think it was me and you against B. Liu and Zius, but I'm not sure.

For basketball? Yeah. It's possible. I think we lost. It is. Is it possible we lost? I get. I don't, I think.

I mean, they are college athletes. No, we won. Yeah, we won. Smoked them. What time is it? We have to. Matt, come sit down, man. You're good.

Oh, shit. We have another video we got to do in. Four minutes? Four minutes. Matt, I think we're going to be late for the video. Yo, what episode is this? I think we're going to be late for the video that starts in four minutes. We'll make it?

Okay. All right. Another weekly episode of the Flycast, brought to you by Big Dog Neack. Matt's throwing up gang signs over here. Matt, do me a favor and play my fucking banger outro music.
