Starting point is 00:03:34 I've heard of it. That manager that went there, he works for Fisher now, like the college. Wait, what's UYU? It's just an organization. I was not, I thought you meant it was a college.
Starting point is 00:03:46 No, no, no, no. They were in the league in B-O-4. Okay. He was a general manager there, and then he just, like, reached out, and I was just, like, yeah. And then I just do all my work online, so. So he's kind of, like, works out. He offered you a full ride, like, you was recruiting people? Yep, yep.
Starting point is 00:04:05 They lost Dylan Rex. Okay. So whenever Dylan Rex, like, is graduated, they were trying to, like, they have, like, a budget. for full-rod kids and so do you never have to go to campus or anything you don't have to like live in a certain area no what the hell that's like cheating that's what i said that's what they're gonna start doing that's what i said because i think like sorry but sparting the dog yeah i think you mentioned you mentioned it earlier he uh i'm pretty sure he lives around boss i think he like goes in or some shit or does he not does he do it online he doesn't unline he lives in tennessee
Starting point is 00:04:42 Oh, he lives in Tennessee. Yeah, yeah. This is all cheating. You can do all of your work online. Yep, yep. So Fisher also has a Halo program? They do. They have like eight sports programs.
Starting point is 00:04:54 Is that currently running? Is that curly running? I think so. Are they currently taking scholarships? I wonder if I could, like, if I went back and competed in college, would I be like, or would I just be like? You be the dog. I promise you'd be the dog. Because Sparty just runs people.
Starting point is 00:05:14 Hitch had something else to say. Yeah, no. I'm just like dead even with them. I'm just turning 35. Matt, can you look up what the most popular? Esports school? No, no, no. The most popular academic programs at Fisher are.
Starting point is 00:05:35 I want to see what Nick. So you go to Fisher. I want to see what Nick will go back to school for. I don't go. He doesn't go. He doesn't go. Logs in. Chat GPTs everything and scrims. So Fisher College in Boston.
Starting point is 00:05:49 That sounds like a good school. There you go, Nick. You can do criminal justice corrections. I might. I was thinking about, you know, once I get fired from Optic, what, you know, what can we, I've already talked to a lady at my dog park. She has like an AI business that I could be like the. sort of
Starting point is 00:06:12 manager of see I don't know these fucking titles but like not manager but like head of head of
Starting point is 00:06:24 influencer something fucking some dumb ass title that get people yeah no you sound
Starting point is 00:06:33 perfect for the position two years I'm gonna have the job two years down the line and someone's gonna show this
Starting point is 00:06:40 Look at this. Like, this is the guy that you hired for your AI business? So, okay, Fisher College. Is that a good college? I think so. It's, I mean, it's a private. You really know? I just thought I like sign in the website.
Starting point is 00:06:55 It's a private university, so. Oh, shit. Yeah. So who's, do I know any of your teammates for Fisher? Phantoms. Oh, yeah, with the Z? Yep, yeah. Dark-sived.
Starting point is 00:07:07 Yes. Oh, okay. And then, uh, confid. He's kind of newer I'm not familiar with him Do any of them go to the school? No What do you think about that?
Starting point is 00:07:18 Okay wait You started going to win They're super serious about like You know plagiarism And using like AI They chatgy we do Yeah they They AI grade check everything
Starting point is 00:07:28 I can imagine yeah I can imagine yeah I can I can imagine Did you all have like jerseys? We do have jerseys yeah So when did you start going This wasn't like Fresh out of high school
Starting point is 00:07:39 I guess that wasn't, did it exist back then? You're 26, so say like eight years ago you graduated. It was starting to with League Legends. There was like a school that had like an Eastport, a high school that had an e-sports program for league. China's always ahead of us. Yeah. And then.
Starting point is 00:07:56 You weren't supposed to say you're with that. I was just trying to get my attention in the comment. I say I started a year and a half ago. So hasn't been too long. Oh, shit. But I'm doing like summer. So I'm trying to like speed run. You're trying to get it done
Starting point is 00:08:11 like two and a half or three? Yep. Okay, cool. Oh, you're just nonstop. Yeah. All fucking year. If you graduate in three years, can you still play your senior year?
Starting point is 00:08:23 No. You have to have like a certain amount of hours to play. Because when I play NCAA football, I be graduating and then I can, I graduate my senior year, but then I red shirt my freshman year so I can play my senior year but not go to school. Dude, I don't understand any of that stuff.
Starting point is 00:08:41 What, redshirt, redshirt freshman? Whatever you just said. It's like when you go to school, when you go to school, well, it used to be like this before the NIL, but when you go to school, your freshman year, you don't play because all the seniors are playing and the juniors are playing. But so you can be on the team for a year, but it doesn't count. So you're a red shirt freshman. So then the next year, you're an actual freshman and you got four. You got four years of eligibility, but you've already gone to school for one. year so you're gonna graduate in four years a year old play for four years so you're gonna
Starting point is 00:09:14 there's gonna be a gap year okay your senior year where you don't have to go to school and you can you know why they use that term red shirt freshman no like red like can you look it up why why red shirt what is what is red shirt yeah I've never even thought about that like why does no correlation right I guess but now you but now with the NIL like you can go to any school that's gonna play you so like I feel like more true freshmen's which which is when you actually play your freshman year. Oh, likely the University of Nebraska player Warren Alphson, who wore a red shirt during practices while sitting out to gain strength.
Starting point is 00:09:53 What? A guy from the University of Nebraska wore a red shirt during practices while sitting out to gain strength, and that's where redshirt freshman came from. What? To gain strength. Holy shit. Yeah, so like red shirt freshman, all they do is like go to practice and like lift weights the whole year. So by the time, by the time they're like an actual freshman.
Starting point is 00:10:21 I mean, it probably is a big difference going from unless you're just some freak in high school. When you go into like everyone in high school is still like a scrawny fuck. Yeah. And you go to college and it's like, wait, what the fuck's going on? There's like massive men are all around you. Yeah. It's a different fucking Jay Bebes
Starting point is 00:10:41 James. James Sellers just walked in with his fresh fucking See what pisses me off is he can cut his own hair Why? He doesn't even like go to the barbershop He just gives it like a two. Yeah, you can tell.
Starting point is 00:10:56 But James Sellers just walked in. Beber fever, the last Brack you a Beaver fan? No, we're going to come back to this. You're not a Bieber fan? You're not a Bieber guy? What's your, what's your, What's your music of choice?
Starting point is 00:11:10 Bro, I'm all over the place. Country. Oh. That's that Fisher Eastport shit. No, no. That's that Fisher racism. That Boston racist shit. It's all over the place.
Starting point is 00:11:23 The rap, hip-hop. Who's your favorite rapper? I don't even want to say some of white. I don't want to say it on this stuff. Wait, what? I mean, I like everyone, like, I like Drake. That's common. All right, man.
Starting point is 00:11:39 He did research. Bro, like, it's gonna be weird, like, I listen to everything. Like, Jay Cole. Uh-huh, uh-huh. Just them too? Like, isn't that weird, though? I'm like... No, that's perfectly normal.
Starting point is 00:11:53 Yo, fucks with Kendrick. I like Kendrick. Duh. I just want to say, like, I'm not picky, like... Do you see what... Do you see how Drake's announcing his release date? Yeah, they already melted it. apparently.
Starting point is 00:12:08 Oh, really? It was like some date to piss me off. It was like June 26. No. I'm like, bro, what's the point?
Starting point is 00:12:16 I'm going to forget this even happened. They melted the whole thing already. Yeah, did you see what Drake did? Not that you probably give a shit. No, no, no. Who's your favorite country artist?
Starting point is 00:12:25 They put tons and tons of blocks of ice and apparently at the under... This new album's called Ice Man. Yeah. And under all of these blocks of ice is the release date. I would, he would have put, I wish he could have done something better than the release date. Like, that's actually cool. He could have put like, oh my God, that's crazy.
Starting point is 00:12:45 Is that in Canada? Downtown Toronto, yeah. Yeah. I wish you would have put like an actual CD in there. At least I think. I mean, I got on Twitter fucking scrolled. It could have just been some absolute bullshit of like AI ice melted with the, it was almost like a spray painted date. Just like at the very bottom.
Starting point is 00:13:05 No, bro. It's, I think, yeah. I think you got God. See if the shit's still going on. Did I get Twittered? I feel like that's scary nowadays. Like all the AI stuff. Like what's real and like what's not?
Starting point is 00:13:15 It is getting a little weird. At least there's like AI to catch AI. Yeah. Like you uploaded on. You uploaded on a Twitter or something. Holy shit. That video was AI? Bro, I thought that was real.
Starting point is 00:13:29 Right. That's AI. That's what I'm saying. What? Oh, this video's AI. That's what I'm saying. I mean, it makes sense at this point. I mean, why would that?
Starting point is 00:13:37 not be real. I watched that on my phone and I was like, oh, okay. It didn't I respond. Is that the one I responded to? Added you? I added hitching that was like, meet me at the airport.
Starting point is 00:13:50 And it's not even, like click Hitch's name. It's not even Hitch's fucking Twitter. Yeah, it's like my old Twitter. This is the Twitter I used to share my PS4 games. I was like, why are you? Wait, can we get, can we, I want Brax's opinion of some of these clips.
Starting point is 00:14:07 Are those good clips? I can't remember, right? Go back to that. Find when I... Hit your ride underscore. To the MW2 clips? Was that MW2?
Starting point is 00:14:17 Bro, I couldn't even tell you. Oh, no. This is Warzone. This is me and George playing Warzone. I have no idea what this could even be. Bro, your POV is so distinct.
Starting point is 00:14:31 What does that mean? It's like a looking around, scanning the area. Yeah, see? There's someone, some nobs. it. Wow. That wasn't even a great clip. Why?
Starting point is 00:14:42 Oh. He got World Star. I think that was all I saved was just that 180. Oh my gosh. Yeah. I bet you did your screen right there. Probably. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:14:57 And Blake was probably like, what was that? And I was like, do you want to see it? I'll show it to you. World War II. Okay. See, this is what I saw. It was like, oh, this is Hitch game play. because I saw you plant it
Starting point is 00:15:11 and then I saw that and then I saw why is this Twitter getting exposed because you suck why you had to move around like that though but why is that clipped in posted because I was probably trolling
Starting point is 00:15:25 yeah that was actually maniac 180 that was Brack I don't think that was Brack were you nasty in this game I kind of hated this game I was terrible This game was bland.
Starting point is 00:15:40 I was terrible at that game. Looking back at it now, like that game had like no skill gap, like, at all. Really? No movement, in my opinion. What's this one? Ghost? Yeah, why am I playing with... Tropical?
Starting point is 00:15:55 Yeah, I was playing with tropical and equipped. I don't know why I was playing with... Was I playing with these guys? This is... This was during your phase. It had to be. Yeah, I'm... This was probably 4.30 in the morning.
Starting point is 00:16:06 I'm on 80 MGs. just for no reason playing with a quip See, whenever I see ghost gameplay I like, it kind of like Reignites you, makes you want to go back to Hagerstown, you, and start the East Ports program?
Starting point is 00:16:21 None of that, but it kind of just gives me like I did enjoy Cod at one time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel like I haven't seen, I haven't had that feeling in. MW19, crazy popular game. Really? I thought that was the shithole one.
Starting point is 00:16:37 You think that, but for pubs. For pubs, people were still playing it like four years after. Wasn't there like no movement? Like, was it that game? Shitty-ass movement. MW19. It's definitely not like Omni Movement. Which one am I thinking of?
Starting point is 00:16:53 That was the one you were pro in. Yeah. I didn't watch her play. MW19, which one was this? Super popular pub game. This one. And this is when the War Zone first came out. Is there a non-war zone clip?
Starting point is 00:17:11 Because war zone's all the fucking same to me. That shit's been the same since, like, after blackout. MW19 competitive. Competitive, I think, was bad. Yeah, I was about to say. I was type in MW19 Havoc. This is it, right? Oh.
Starting point is 00:17:29 This game. No, this one was decent. Yeah, I like this game. Oh, this was 5V5. I like this game, but I understand. I didn't play it competitively, so it was actually a shit show competitively. I did kind of like this. I don't think it was good for comp at all.
Starting point is 00:17:42 No, but for pubs and war zone? What made it not good for comp? Or, I mean, dog, there's like, besides 5E5. There's, I could list like 15 things. Yeah, 5E5.
Starting point is 00:17:54 This guy's on PC. Yeah, this is handler. He's a mouse keyboard player. If I remember correctly, it was bad on the console. He was, uh, this, oh my God. This game, um,
Starting point is 00:18:05 there's no dead silence. Yep. So sound whoring was super bad. Sound whoring was really bad. This was also the first, year of a slide cancel. This was also the first year where... This was the first year of a slide cancel?
Starting point is 00:18:17 Like... I hate... I suck. In this ability. I mean, you could technically slide cancel in Black Ups 4. You could technically cancel a slide in other games, but as far as like this type of, like, cameraing around a corner. It was like circle, circle X movement.
Starting point is 00:18:31 Yeah. I hate that shit. I hate button combos that I have, that you, that you're supposed to do around every corner. Yeah. Just ruin your hands. Like slide. jump fucking something and then
Starting point is 00:18:43 and then there was there was the third game mode was domination yeah so there's 5 v 5d 5 domination and you're just the meta was to throw two smokes on the point and just people people people yeah I remember that bum rushing the hill
Starting point is 00:19:02 it was just a terrible game bro as far as like competitive shot the mutineers but the the pub side of the game It's probably the most opposite Call the Duty has ever been where the competitive side between the competitive side and the pub side
Starting point is 00:19:17 They're two They're two totally opposite And they're received very differently Has pubs been dead basically since then? Yes Mono War III was kind of popular The sniping community really loves Cold War But other than that
Starting point is 00:19:36 Yeah it's been dead ever since I don't know how people remember all these dead in this game? Yeah. I feel like this. Yeah. Pubs. This God's just like dead.
Starting point is 00:19:46 Yeah. Pubs were dead. You know more than us, I think. You definitely know more than me. As far as like, I only view content-wise. How do you view it's dead? Like when I look up YouTube videos or Twitch streams. Okay.
Starting point is 00:20:00 I don't know about the player base. I never really, I never really care about the player base because I never, I never notice it, honestly. But if the player-based. base is up and that's dope but just nobody's making nobody's making content on on this game and like and also i i i based it on the reception of like the people who are watching like when jev i'll watch jev and he uploads he's a multi he uploads a bunch of different videos on a bunch of different games and what and he still loves cod so he he'll upload like a blackup six or seven video and all of his comments are like You know I'm only watching this because I like you.
Starting point is 00:20:40 We don't like the game. I don't want to watch it. Stop uploading this game. And I'm like, oh, shit. So, yeah, I think there's the outlook of Call of Duty is a little bit in the cutter right now. Isn't there blackout now for Warzone? Didn't they just add that? I heard about it.
Starting point is 00:20:56 I don't know. Me and Hitch are, uh, do you know about that? Yes, it's called Black Ops Royale. Is it out? It's been out for like a month. Does anyone care? No. I'm pretty sure people were, like, hyped about it.
Starting point is 00:21:10 Yeah, that's what I thought, too. So they have blackout, but they still have war zone. Yep. They don't have war zone. It's only blackout. I think the big map is only Black Ups Royale at this point. Yeah, this is Blackout Royal. Do you ever learn how to do that in school?
Starting point is 00:21:29 Yes, I did. Here's the church. Here's the steeple. They didn't learn that in Boston. That of you where he never even lived. Yeah, this is, so Black Ops Royale is like, from what, all the clips I've seen, it's very fucking fast. Like, you have a grapple and you have a wingsuit so you can jump off of any building with your wingsuit. You a war zone guy, Blackout guy?
Starting point is 00:21:56 Not really. I mean, I was playing Blackout when I were a team of Matt, B.O4, but. Formal? Yeah. Damn, you were team before me? Yeah. You miss him? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:08 yeah i'm trying that's what i like to fucking hear man tired of him getting fucking d bro yeah he's he's the the only people to expose him are me and fucking brack yeah not like matt i mean i don't know i was super young
Starting point is 00:22:25 like whenever i got the team with matt so i wasn't experienced at all that is weird so you know that you probably costed him oh it costs to them you cost to them i mean we didn't place well wait so who was six Who was your team when you team with formal?
Starting point is 00:22:41 Skies Slack John Sky Slack John In M.W19 No, it'll be a force. Fuck Thought I was about a...
Starting point is 00:22:52 That was a 5B5 That was... That was 5s? You weren't on... How many seasons were fucking? Were you on the team that won? No, no. I was on midnight or denial.
Starting point is 00:23:01 Yeah, but you probably got shitty-ass formal too. Yeah. I think you should... I'm like setting you up. Yeah, you're... you're trying I think you should have ran like the Maddox in that game
Starting point is 00:23:14 like I think he was like going back and forth between like the ICR and the Maddox but I don't know he did run Maddox Was this luminosity? Yeah yeah okay I do actually kind of remember that
Starting point is 00:23:27 I got the team of number two events that was the year that he won because he won an event where like Classic was running the ramp part Yeah yeah yeah The cheese event Yep There's a gun that was like
Starting point is 00:23:39 Godlike it could shoot through any wall and he and it would like two bullet people if you hit him in the head and he used it But like most people didn't use it. Yeah, he like discovered it kept it on the DL didn't scrim with it Because it would have gotten G-A'd and pulled it out during the event Wait, who? Classic classic and then they banned the event You see on your steam? He was on no, he was on Luminosity when he teamed with Matt what an event with luminosity With Classic. Using the Rampart. Really?
Starting point is 00:24:11 Yeah. He just pulls it out fucking. Is this like a known thing? Yeah. Like he was never seen with the gun. But then at the event, he pulls it out. He used the whole event. He was destroying.
Starting point is 00:24:22 Gunless pulled it out too. Yeah. Classic, Nicky D. had like at 1.2. I'm pretty sure. And then Gunless was like, wait, what the fuck? Just shooting, dude. There's a clip where Classic just shoots through the entire wall. are you looking for clips from it
Starting point is 00:24:38 there's like he's on arsenal and there's that there's that wall where like the doors open up and there's like that mid pit area and he just like shoots through the entire wall and kill somebody and I watch Zuma watch it and he was like get this gun the fuck out of
Starting point is 00:24:54 because I think you could put like FMJ on it too yeah it was double FMJ right I think it was double FMJ double FMJ double FMJ that's so it had no reason coil, I think, too.
Starting point is 00:25:08 It is what it is. Some people just, dude, some people find it. Which I respected. Spart did the same thing in, um... Vanguard. Vanguard. There was just like this one gun that nobody used and he pulled it out in an event, won the entire event as a rookie or as a...
Starting point is 00:25:23 Really? The Volk? Yeah, he got, he, uh, he was a challengers player. How don't motherfuckers like, no? I feel like, like, they just like kind of, here's the sub, here's the AR and everyone's, Like, yeah, I'm too lazy to, like, sort of venture out.
Starting point is 00:25:40 Guns are different on land than they are online. Yeah, I guess that's true. Yeah. Some guns are just, like, I remember in Blackups 2, it was a big thing that people were using the Scorpion online, but if you use the Scorpion on land, you were, like, considered brain dead, except for that one skunk clip, apparently.
Starting point is 00:25:57 But, I don't know. People have always said it as different. I played land cod for the first time this weekend. Never played cod on land before. Where? in in California one of the guys from the from the yard has like he he like built his own land set in like his studio and he just invites friends over and they drink beers and play god you're like cool you want to come over I was like sure is that fun yeah it was a lot of fun it was a lot of fun
Starting point is 00:26:22 are you a land god played model oh I was cook well I was cooking yeah people that never play yeah I was cooking it was a lot of fucking fun though land was always fucking fun did you have Bracken, you're like career, because I feel like a lot of it switched to... PC. PC and sort of the land stuff stopped. Were you ever going to, like, lands or your friend's houses, or did you ever, like, have that experience? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:52 Oh, my gosh. When I was super young, I went to, like, a 2B2... What's super young to you? 14. Okay. 15. I can't remember, like, because I started... competing officially in World War II,

Starting point is 00:27:52 Oh, wow Oh, you're talking about just like chilling with your friend Yeah, that's what I'm asking Not like a land tournament No, I mean like eight TVs I've never done that 12 people.
Starting point is 00:28:05 Yes, you have never done that. Someone's basement. And you smells like shit. The Suddh twins are there with their Pokemon being, or like Pokemon sleeping bags. Do you know the Sudet twins are? They're a halo. They're just Halo twins. But they were always just like made fun of and they would talk shit and they were
Starting point is 00:28:24 hella toxic and but they were kind of funny at the same time. And one of my neighbors, he was kind of a shitter, one eight seven. He was kind of a shitter, but I lived in Maryland. There was a decent amount of Maryland people, and I think this is back in like Halo Reach, so like 20, maybe 2011. But people like Demon D live there. These are all just some Halo pros.
Starting point is 00:28:49 But then there were shitters as well. And we would just go to my friend's basement. Fucking 8 TVs, 8 Xboxes. It was 360s? Had to have been 360s. Reach had to have been 360s, right? Yeah, Reach was 360s. 360s.
Starting point is 00:29:02 TVs, monitors. Like some people would still have like a big, the big ass brick TVs. Really? Some people would have like the monitor. So it was, it was, uh, it was funny. But it was so fun, man. It was so fun just like going somewhere playing on land. Because back then the internet was fucking horrible.
Starting point is 00:29:19 Yeah. Yeah. Like I remember my internet when I was competing was like 2.5 download, like point, not even one upload. I had like a point eight upload. Now it's like a thousand, a thousand. I didn't even have one. upload and now people were playing
Starting point is 00:29:34 on like a thousand but it was just so fun like fucking just landing with your boys and you're kind of staying up late yeah then then you're all then when you're done playing smoke a little weed start making fun of people
Starting point is 00:29:49 see that's what the Sutth twins are they it was so funny they pulled out fucking Pokemon sleeping bags and we're just like this is so sudden but like they know they're gonna get roasted for it but they do it anyway Because they fucking love it. It was just, that's the good old days.
Starting point is 00:30:06 It makes me think like, like, that's what I remember. I'm sitting there playing this weekend. Like, just, it's not, there's not like a stream. It's not for content. That was like his biggest rule was like, hey, we're doing this as like pick up basketball. You're not allowed to make content in here. So I was thinking about it. And I was like, bro, I've got, like, where could I set this up?
Starting point is 00:30:25 Because I've got nine Xbox Series Xs for like the icon stuff. And I'm like, where can we just? where can I just set up a land so that like I could I could do that here but I don't know if any of my friends would come what game anything anything that's the thing with Xbox series X is you can play any game that Xbox has released any Halo any cod any Gears of War we were playing he set up counter strike on the Xbox 360 which was a game that came out a game that came out in like 24 13, I think, 2013 and 2014, that they ported over to the Xbox 360 was only alive on the 360 for like six months, but he downloaded it in all the games
Starting point is 00:31:12 and we land it. How does that even work? I guarantee that's the only land in the history of Counterstrike 360. There's no way anyone else has set it up. Maybe. This spring, denim gets a softer, lighter update. Introducing Old Navy's drapey denim wide leg,
Starting point is 00:31:31 a new fit that moves with you. It's everything you want denim to feel like for summer. Easy, breathable, and effortlessly cool. With a fit that creates natural movement and a wide leg that feels modern, not overwhelming. Plus that signature, wait, for this price,

That sofa was four days old. You should have ordered from Wayfair. With Wayfair, there's no what if. Just style you love and quality you can trust. Wayfair.ca.
Starting point is 00:32:03 Wayfair, every style, every home. What? Why is like, Halo dead? On the downfall. Yeah. Uh, I think people just, were you ever, like, a fan of Halo?
Starting point is 00:32:18 Oh, yeah. Like, like, you watched it. Like, all the campaigns, like, Halo 1, 3. When did you, uh, start playing or, like, watching Halo? Like, competitively? Uh, sort of. Or, like, just seeing fucking T-squared on the TV or. What years, I guess
Starting point is 00:32:34 Oh man I mean, I don't even know My first game was probably It was Halo 1 But I didn't play it that much And then Halo 3 Like I loved Like grinding the campaign
Starting point is 00:32:44 Getting like the skulls and stuff But you weren't playing Like multi-player Like watching the MLG events or anything I think Halo Reach Had a good multiplayer scene right And ranked Yeah
Starting point is 00:32:55 I played that and I was like I remember customizing my character So I guess that game Okay But you weren't watching like I wasn't watching the esports he was six years old i was just yeah yeah i guess i don't know there might be some out there you were just enjoying the game not fucking all into the eastboard side yeah um
Starting point is 00:33:14 yeah i don't know i was just curious uh why he was nine years old when you won your chip it's good math well not really it's 2026 he's 26 so it's good math yeah when i was holding up in 2000 i don't know if you've heard yeah but in 2009 I won a Halo 3 National Championship, which is like worlds these days. He's basically like a Super Bowl one. I hardly mentioned. You're being up on Ogre 1 and 2?
Starting point is 00:33:44 Oh yeah. Ogre 1 was already set Ogre 1 out of there. Ogre 2 was destroying him that tournament, knocked his ass out too. Then I just boom, boom, boom. I would love, somebody in the comments, go to finals. Somebody in the comments put Lifetime Win,
Starting point is 00:33:58 Lost Record Maniac versus Ogre 1 or Over 2. I would love to know. See, but then he got snakebiting royal too That's not what I asked And then he got pistola That's not what I'm asking Who were your teammates Whenever I won
Starting point is 00:34:13 It was me, cloud, demon D, and clutch Do you know any of those names? No, don't It's too far I mean, you were fucking six He also won Another tournament with With formal
Starting point is 00:34:27 Formal APG and lethal Oh Do you know those names? Yeah, yeah, yeah I know. All right, there we go. Or not that fucking dead. And for that, that event, you were 15.
Starting point is 00:34:44 So you could have, you could have remembered that one. Yeah, this was 2015. Why is Halo dying? I think, one, I just don't think the, Halo 5 felt like shit. It was, it just felt super heavy. I think it just got pretty boring after a while. Now, there's like a cult following for Halo 5. Like, there's the Halo 5 freaks that just love the game.
Starting point is 00:35:11 They say it's the hardest halo. It's the hardest to aim, the hardest to move. There's a big skill gap is what they all claim. So Halo 5, maybe it was a good Halo, but I just don't think it was, it just felt like shit to play. Like, it felt super fucking heavy. Like, playing on a PC now, and like, you're so used to a PC. if you were to just like go back there
Starting point is 00:35:34 play on a shitty monitor and play on Xbox it's like that's what Halo 5 felt like to me it just felt fucking horrible so I feel like that was the that wasn't the start of Halo's decline but it sort of was to where you just saw the player base just rapidly start dropping off
Starting point is 00:35:50 then Halo Infinite comes out in 20 was it the big beginning of 2020 at the very end of 2021 maybe I can't remember but then Halo Infinite comes out, we think this is going to be our redemption period.
Starting point is 00:36:07 Yeah, December, late 2021, Halo Infinite comes out. We think this is going to be it. We're back. Fucking, you can play on Mouse and Key. I have such a dick nose right now. I can't breathe. We think we're back. Mouse and Key.
Starting point is 00:36:22 Cross platform. Cross platform. All the big fucking streamers are playing it. Like Tim the Tapman, Summit, Trowl. Yeah. Everyone. Ninja. all the big streamers are playing it.
Starting point is 00:36:35 But they're trying to play it on mouse and key. And I don't know if Call of Duty was the same way. But for Mouse and Key in the beginning of Halo, the magnetism, I think is what they had to adjust. The magnet, it was like they didn't have aim assist at all. It was like, it was just super hard for Mouse and Key players. Like the gameplay was fluid, but like it was just so hard. Like, controller players had Amissus and Mousin.
Starting point is 00:37:02 keyboard didn't it which kind of not it's not how it should be but then a few years down the line halo infinite did a uh an update to the magnetism of mouse and key but all the players were gone so once tim the tatman and all these big fucking streamers playing mouse and key realize like this is impossible we're at a disadvantage they just all fucking left yeah the game you couldn't search with more than one other person or you like wouldn't find a match um i think people were lagging out all the time the game was breaking and then you just saw it might be the I wonder if it's like the most historic decline yeah in like the history of fucking because the east sports team was taking off though like at the beginning yeah it was big
Starting point is 00:37:49 like I think they sold out fucking team passes everyone was playing buying skins the biggest streamers were playing everyone wanted to get on but there was just so so much shit wrong like servers were all fucked up it'd be laggy people were lagging out the games are crashing all the big streamers are quitting because mouse and key was horrible at the beginning they eventually fix it and it's actually really fucking good now so if like if that was the case in the beginning that is the that is the thing with halo is they eventually figure it out but it takes them a while to figure it out and i also yeah it's not like oh this sucks update next week no yeah it's like it happened with halo five it happened with MCC and it happened with Halo Infinite.
Starting point is 00:38:34 But also there's a humongous disconnect between current video game consumers and three for three or now Halo Studios. There's a gigantic. It's like the biggest disconnect I've ever seen. Like their new, their big staple new release that's coming out for Halo is a remaster of Halo 1 only the campaign,
Starting point is 00:39:02 no multiplayer, with new graphics. This is the third time. This is the third time they've remastered, or the second time they've remastered the Halo 1 campaign. They've already rematch.
Starting point is 00:39:15 Actually, is it the third time? They've already... There was Halo 1 campaign. Then MCC came out with Halo 1. Remaing it. So, basically. And then the third rendition of it. Halo 1.
Starting point is 00:39:27 And the biggest selling point is that now, people on PlayStation can play it. And they released it like it was going to be like very well received. And then they were like surprised that it wasn't received well.
Starting point is 00:39:42 And to me that is like a big disconnect. Like very massive. Because they did the same thing with like when Halo Infinite came out. People were asking like what is going to bring people to Halo other than just
Starting point is 00:39:58 Halo other than just the campaign because the campaign in Halo Infant was really good. I really enjoyed it. But as anything, when you're done with the campaign, you're not going to replay it. There's not much replay value. And so what's going to bring people to Halo other than just fucking social slayer
Starting point is 00:40:15 and big team battle and Halo ranked, which has been there for 25 years at this point? And is it going to be a BR? Is there going to be an extraction shooter? Is there going to be another thing that brings people in? Like Skin? Yeah. Like and and they basically were like almost the the people that were in charge at that point were almost like arrogant in the fact that like no we don't need anything else what we have is good enough and what they had was not good enough.
Starting point is 00:40:45 Is there another one coming out like a game? I'm hearing shit like 2029 like 2028, 29 maybe who knows? We're assuming I was doing the math and whenever the new game comes. comes out, I might be 40 doing watch parties. Wow. Or you'll be the head of consumer. Wow. You'll be the head of consumer influencers at the AI company from the dog park lady.
Starting point is 00:41:14 And I'll probably be trying to work with them. Damn, with Halo. Not because of the age, but like, that's just so long. Yeah. I mean, it's crazy. Whoa, no. Halo 5. That's so long.
Starting point is 00:41:29 be on earth. Halo 5 came out in 2015 and then Halo Infinite doesn't come out until six years, over six years later. And then this is going to be seven, six, seven, eight, nine. What we're, what I'm assuming is that this summer or this winter, they're replacing the Halo
Starting point is 00:41:54 Worlds event with another event, same venue. But it's called, what's it called? Halo Fest and it's basically like a Halo community get together where they're going to have speed running stuff, they're going to have like a concert where they play Halo music, they're going to have cosplay stuff like it's like Halo Nerd Fest.
Starting point is 00:42:13 Yeah. HaloCon. What I'm assuming is that they're going to announce the new game there. That's what I... If Halo Fest comes and goes and they don't announce a new game, that's a bad look. That's a real... All of this is already a bad look, but that's a really bad
Starting point is 00:42:29 luck. Is the show made by I think it's made by... See, even the show I think they fucked up. I think the show's made by Paramount. And the thing the thing with the show is the producer of the show also said he had never played the game. He's like, we have all the assets that we need
Starting point is 00:42:45 to have. We don't need to retell a story that's already been told. And I'm like, how is this all happening under the same IP? The people that have made the video game said that the only BR they care about is the battle rifle, not battle royale.
Starting point is 00:43:01 And then the people that made the show say, we don't need to watch or play the games. We already have all the IP that we need to make a good show. It's like, bro. What are you guys? Thoughts on the show? I didn't watch it. I didn't watch it.
Starting point is 00:43:15 You didn't watch anything? No. Really? I think I turned it on for an episode and I was like, man. Can you look at the series graph for Halo? See, what they should have did for the show was like have like T-squared dying in the background. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:43:27 It's like a even throw ninja in there like me as a grunt and then I just explode on it. Okay, so, uh, episode one episode seven must have been a rough episode. Yeah. Holy shit. What happened season one? But it seemed, I guess it didn't. Apparently the finale's are decent. Yeah, it didn't end that bad.
Starting point is 00:43:50 See, maybe I need to. I thought it was worse than what it was. Not going to lie. I think 7.6 is no, everyone was like, dollar. Did you watch it? Oh, you watched it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So.
Starting point is 00:44:00 You ain't fucks with it? Do you think it's this, is this good, or is this giving it more credit? I think it's giving it more credit. See, I see something like this, and I'm thinking like... What happened season one episode seven? Paradise. I thought some of the fight scenes were really good, and that's probably where the green is. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:44:20 Very interesting. I wonder what the best, what the best, like, video game rendition of a TV show or a movie is. I'm scared for the Call of Duty show I'm also nervous Is it a call of duty show Or movie movie Call of Duty movie got announced I see like
Starting point is 00:44:36 Throw scump in there That's what I'm saying They should blow up a shot Oh arcane Oh arcane apparently is godlike I like fallout a lot Did you? I haven't seen it
Starting point is 00:44:47 I like the season I like the first season of Last of Us I like I like that a lot I can't remember anything But fallout was good Are you a big movie TV guy Oh I want to say I am But like I haven't seen any of these
Starting point is 00:44:58 besides the Witcher. I'm watching the Witcher currently. Oh, are you? Yeah, it's pretty good. I didn't play the video game, so I tried watching The Witcher, and it's fucking hard to keep up with, bro. It's all over the place. What is Pokemon Concierge?
Starting point is 00:45:13 That shit looks fire. Some, like, 3D... What? It's like Claymation Pokemon. There's like a new Pokemon game coming out somewhat soon, too. Oh, yeah. Or it's like... Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 00:45:27 What was that game that came? on the switch. Animal Crossing? It's like a mix of Pokemon, Animal Crossing. That game's already out. Were we talking about that? Pocopia.
Starting point is 00:45:35 That's already out. It's been out for like a month and a half. What? Marcel. Yeah. Yeah, Marcel would have been grinding it. Yeah, that game's aren't. That game did very well on release.
Starting point is 00:45:45 Really? Yeah. Are you in all that stuff? No. I saw it on a TikTok, though. What about like Pokemon cards? I used to collect them, but not anymore.
Starting point is 00:45:55 He doesn't have time, man. Fisher Eastports. fiancee she collected cards she just sold all of them on some card app or something Pokemon card up she got $1,500. Damn. Out of like 500 cards
Starting point is 00:46:09 It's not bad. I wonder if that's not bad, but like Or did she get got? Or did she get got? They're just going to flip all that. My mom was telling me fucking she was getting rid of stuff and some dude wanted to buy
Starting point is 00:46:23 our old like Pokemon cards and I was like mom no. Like, like, because my mom would be like $5. It'll be a fucking holographic Charzart in there. Do you have, wait, so you still have all your old Pokemon cards? I think I have a decent amount. But I swear I looked one time and I was like, these are not the cards I thought we have. You like misremember it?
Starting point is 00:46:46 Yeah. I'm thinking holographic first edition, Blast toys, Charged Star, Venusaur, like, everything. And then you get it back and you're like, wait, this Pidgey that I definitely tore up brought to Macs. I'm like, why is Pidgey in a sleeve? I've only played the diamond version or whatever, a Pokemon. The game? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:07 Motherfuckers, we forgetting. Gold. Red blue. Red blue gold. You forget. You forget. You forget. It's red blue yellow.
Starting point is 00:47:18 Red blue yellow. It's silver gold crystal. Yeah. Okay. Red blue and yellow. Muffalo. I forget. And then you go red blue gold.
Starting point is 00:47:26 motherfuckers me forgetting about gold blah blah we're forgetting about uh see that was my day once people
Starting point is 00:47:38 start talking about fucking sapphire and ruby rose well that's well they don't well people talk about it um

Starting point is 00:48:19 Really? Yeah. But when I have a haircut, you probably would have said like 24. Yeah. How would have the titch look? You probably would have. Don't answer that. Take the hat off.
Starting point is 00:48:33 Well, my hair's nice. I guess I'll say it 28, 29. All right, now you're just dick riding. No, no, no, no. I'm serious. I'm 33. No, you're just, what about Matt Craig? He's like 30.

Starting point is 00:49:12 Oh, okay, okay. Good, because we got shit to talk about. We got shit to talk about. Only scratch the surface. First, all right, I feel like I still haven't gotten this whole college thing. Yeah. Who is your biggest rival? Who's your biggest rival college?
Starting point is 00:49:26 We're, oh, Matt didn't go there. I don't think, but we're in Oklahoma Christian University. That's probably our biggest rival right now. As in there the best. Like you two are the best in the country Yeah, we beat them At an event last year They beat us
Starting point is 00:49:42 Who is, do we know players on their team? Cruz Cruz Cod Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, manny Oh, from the He's a Challenger's kid The Challenges kid, yeah
Starting point is 00:49:52 And all these people have their shit Paid for scholarships I don't want to confirm that But I want to say yes They have to go to campus Oh shit So I'm not sure their situation Dude, that's so...
Starting point is 00:50:07 So, like, Cruzee lives in Oklahoma right now? Yeah. Oh. And he's doing the nursing program. And that's how he's been competing in an A. So what are you doing for years? Five years. Business management.
Starting point is 00:50:18 So were you kind of looking at this like, I'm only doing it to... Like, would you be in school if this wasn't getting paid for? Or is this kind of just like, if I can get it paid for and just playing on their call of duty team, then fuck it. I'm actually really lucky because I don't think I'd be going to school if it wasn't paid for It's just so expensive are you looking to like really take advantage of this like because Yeah I mean yeah people go people make the league I know you've been in the league
Starting point is 00:50:49 Challenges back in the league like are you looking at this like I should actually clutch up on this and have something for my future John Exotics going to Wichita State Yep Like are you taking the school shit serious? I'm taking a super serious like doing i mean i just did three assignments after freaking scrimms and stuff yesterday i'm taking it serious i want to say my teammates are taking it serious too but i mean i can't speak for you know everyone this is interesting that these are the these are the top colleges because you can just tell which colleges so for audio listeners uh top top top four colleges
Starting point is 00:51:28 fisher college st clair college oklahoma christian university mars hill university the only the only the only college I even recognize in the top eight is Wichita State. And so like if you hit show additional placements, like I want to know like, okay, there's Ohio State, Ohio State, there's UTSA. Bro, that'd be so cool to like go to one of these colleges too. We have a B team. Would that be weird? Marshall. 34 year old freshman.
Starting point is 00:51:55 Oklahoma. So Oklahoma University, like. We got Adam. So. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. The second team.
Starting point is 00:52:02 Crystal, uh, or coastal Carolina. University of Arkansas. Oklahoma. Now where are they finding these Randinos? That's what I'm saying? Like these must be like tryouts like club. Like they actually go to the school. I would assume these are like club programs.
Starting point is 00:52:17 Like if you're representing Oklahoma or you're representing Ohio State, I'm assuming your. Nichols College. Yeah. I'm assuming those are club programs for that. They're just like we suck. Yeah. Like those are like two.
Starting point is 00:52:31 Those are like. Can't win a map. That's like a guy that's going to the school that just. put up posters and it's like if you want to try out for our team let me know or someone's just like fuck I need a I need one extra curricular I just like fuck let's do this shit
Starting point is 00:52:45 maybe but I'm assuming the only I'm assuming the only colleges with scholarship programs are probably in the top four top five so what's your I don't know you don't know I think some of these do offer full roads some of these yes
Starting point is 00:53:03 fucking bookie for Newberry College Northwood The mock deck Flames I could be wrong But they will probably be on Florida rides
Starting point is 00:53:14 So if their name's blue That means they've like Played in turn They're like known Around the league A little bit Yeah they have like a A wiki
Starting point is 00:53:21 I guess Yeah they'll have a wiki But like if you If you scroll up a little bit To yeah like Ohio State Ohio State Juice Enigma Ferta and Looz
Starting point is 00:53:33 No offense to these guys but like are they on full rides to Ohio State it can't be I don't know it can't that can't be because like you would think you would think this I don't know it's very interesting I like the college cod
Starting point is 00:53:51 program I think it's I think it's awesome I think the fact that that you know guy I think there are some females in the league this would have been amazing guys and girls you would have been on the fucking college team Oh, bro, if I ran the ECU team, who...
Starting point is 00:54:07 You'd have, like, a fucking special jacket just for you? I'm fucking hype. I was team captain. I remember a few years ago, I wanted to, like, general manager of the ECU team. But then I... But then they were going to shit on, so I was like, I don't want to follow that. That'd be so cool, though.
Starting point is 00:54:21 Like, you go to school, you seemingly have a purpose. It just, dude, that would have been so close. Is ECU purple? Yeah. Where is that? East Carolina. North Carolina. It's his jacket.
Starting point is 00:54:32 Oh, okay. I was going to... Oh, yeah, I am wearing a jacket. What the fuck. I was going to say, I know that's cool. Yeah, yeah, because I think they did have a program. I don't know if they still do, but I think they did have a program at one point. But, yeah, I think this is really cool.
Starting point is 00:54:46 I'm very curious of how it'll be integrated into call into Call of Duty, like the CDL program, if ever at all. Because I think it's, I think it's cool. I think it's a cool opportunity for people. But I don't know if it's, I don't know if it's being viewed as like an opportunity for call a duty heads to make their name or if it's being viewed as like an opportunity for people that are good at cod to get education yeah i think that's what it is yeah so then there's the cdl there's challengers and then there's just a whole separate college league is there decent money and like prize prize money no not really i think i mean does it happen like a season and with like a world's at the end
Starting point is 00:55:29 or yeah so it's may second through the third so it's coming up we're going to Indiana. I don't know where at in Indiana, but it's like 1,200 each for first. That's worlds? Yep. Well, it's also like legally, like can you even do that? Like in schools, give prize money to their fucking students. I thought it was really cool. We went on online league last season and I got 10 Jopoli cards for each of polly balls. That sounds like some college kids shit. Sounds like some Challenger shit. Yeah. That sounds like some college. If I was in college and somebody gave me 10 Chipotle cards, I would be fucking ecstatic.
Starting point is 00:56:11 I would be so high. But I mean, a full ride as well, man. That is really cool. I do like that for, because a lot of people will get into, get into Cod. They'll get good. Maybe they make it to the league. Maybe they don't. They're stuck in challengers for fucking forever.
Starting point is 00:56:30 Yeah. And then they kind of just, next thing you know, you're like, like 29 years old and it's just like fuck like do i just got to put play i just got to like grind wagers and fucking something to like pay my bills like fuck like time that shit just happens so fucking fast and then you're like what am i going to do like this is such a and i guess it doesn't matter the age like could like a challengers player right now could just if they were willing to dedicate themselves and uh like with with all the challengers players if they really wanted to go to school
Starting point is 00:57:05 and them being a better call of duty player than the people that are already on these teams, like say someone goes to school there, and they like call of duty, so they're on the team. If all the challengers players were like, listen, I'm willing to go to school,
Starting point is 00:57:19 make the grades, I want to get an education. Would all these motherfuckers just start getting kicked out? Like, would they take the better call of duty player? Probably. Or they'd have multiple teams like my school does. See,
Starting point is 00:57:31 it just depends on people's budgets. I feel like, you should have to go to the school. Yeah. Because then it'll just turn into like... No, please God, no. I'm lucky that it's online because I don't know if I would do it
Starting point is 00:57:44 if it was on campus. Because I own a house in Tennessee, so like... Could you find like a school in Tennessee that does it? Yeah, the closest one is UT Chat in Chatt Nuga and it's like three hours.
Starting point is 00:57:58 I think University of Tennessee has a college cod program but they have no budget. Yeah. I just don't know if I like that they can just... Colleges will now just be able to, like, cherry pick people. Yeah. It's interesting.
Starting point is 00:58:12 Like, assault is in the league, and he has, like, a ring. Like, he has, like, a... So what's the schedule? Because you got college practice, college homework, studying, classes, challengers, renegade telling you what to do. Hecks yelling at you. about a fly cast or Matt Craig, I should say.
Starting point is 00:58:37 I mean, there's, I mean, we just have like, during the season, there's like three to four matches a week. And we, I mean, we just show up for the matches. So we'll have, like, our scrim day. We don't practice, no. I mean, because it's me, I mean, we have, like, a super, like, O.P. team, so we don't really. You all have, you.
Starting point is 00:58:54 Y'all are all on challengers teams. Yeah, we're all on top challenger teams. So we scrimed two, four, or start at one, end at, like, seven to eight, and then. that's whenever we'll have our matches after. Some days we'll have one match. You're talking about your challenger scrims? Yeah. You'll do your challenger scrims.
Starting point is 00:59:12 Yep. And then you'll have a match, like a college match. Yep. Like an 8 p.m. Oh, really? Yep. So that's just kind of a tournament only. A tournament college match only.
Starting point is 00:59:24 Yep. College matches is the only time you're showing up for college call of duty. Yes. I wonder how. And the land that's coming up. I wonder where in the rules. is it against the rules where like imagine we imagine we worked out a deal Optic and SMU
Starting point is 00:59:40 where we send Shotsie to college and Shotsie gets a full ride because he starts the COD program at SMU see now our SMU team is Shotsie the fun part would be following his grades like I feel like Shotsie going to college it wouldn't even be about oh is he just a join these colleges.
Starting point is 01:00:04 No one would care about that. Yeah. The call duty side. People are like, what's, what's, let's watch him study. Let's watch his bio 101 class. See how he's doing there. He's Loki smart though. I know it.
Starting point is 01:00:17 I wonder, I wonder if it's against the rules to have a CDL player in. So. In college? Yeah. So I don't know if it's like this at every uni or college, but I know for my specific scholarship or whatever Hunter put me on. So I trialed for Vancouver last week. If I got the spot on Vancouver, Serge,
Starting point is 01:00:40 then I would have still went to school, but I can't compete on the team. Oh, okay. So you can't beat. You can only play challengers and college cod. You can't, okay, okay. As of it right now. All right.
Starting point is 01:00:51 I don't know if that'll change. So maybe we switch it to Damon. Damon, Damon, Seth, Zen, and Formal start the SMU. program, all get full rides, we have to follow them to class, and also games. I was talk the idea. Dude, I would be pretty cool, actually. I was, I was talking to a teacher for a little bit.
Starting point is 01:01:19 That's all what I am. I'm not going to the school. I'm the one talking to a dating a teacher. But, like, she would show, she was like, I think they were seniors. but just looking at the homework that probably like gives me PTSD like she would come up she would visit bring her fucking
Starting point is 01:01:40 laptop she would have papers and I'm just like bro this is this is fucking it's PTSD it's PTSD I would not my brain just couldn't do it I don't think unless it was like I couldn't do a biology class
Starting point is 01:01:56 a fucking math class something else class I can't even remember any other class But if I like fool if I went to like maybe like a music school or something then like maybe I could lock in and just like focus on one subject Do like music theory do it's but just doing some like regular shit to where like you're taking this this and this you need credits and this Like I would not be able to do that studying and shit. There's just no way. Yeah like the only the only classes I ever locked in for in college was like electives like yeah like I took a something I like wanted to I took a movie class like a movie cinema theory or whatever we watched them the fucking movies
Starting point is 01:02:36 that class was fucking awesome like that was like I was so like a movie class we watched movies that class was fucking awesome I just remember being so excited to go to that class it was the only time I ever felt that way in the three years I went to school do you have like a regular schedule what classes do you take
Starting point is 01:02:54 so how it works here at Fisher is for eight weeks I'm in two classes and another eight weeks, I'm in another two classes. But in those eight weeks, like our classes, there's like so much work, like, scrammed in. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:10 So technically I'm a full ride. What subject? What's a semester? But right now I'm in organizational behavior and managerial accounting. So, yeah. Behavior management aside. So I hated econ.
Starting point is 01:03:28 Oh, my God. Ecom? Yes. I heard that's the way. now, 2026. Economics? Yes.
Starting point is 01:03:35 I don't know. I think it was a professor. He was just bad at explaining stuff in his lectures. On the Zoom call? Yeah. So how many people are in your classes? Uh,
Starting point is 01:03:47 I want to say around 30. Oh, okay, okay. I didn't know if it was like 1,300. So it's 30 face cams? Yep. You have to have your face cam?
Starting point is 01:03:56 You don't have your face cam? Okay, okay, okay. Do you put yours on? No. I would. Do you remember? record the lectures? They're the professor records.
Starting point is 01:04:05 Records them and sends them. So you can miss them if you want. But I mean, it's on your own like. I would I don't know if this is illegal. We can cut this if we need to. But I would record it and I would put it into an AI program. And then I'd be like
Starting point is 01:04:21 please give me notes of what this motherfucker just said. Yeah. And then they would just list the fucking notes. Yeah. I'm telling if you use AI though, like I would use it just for the notes. I would just use it I wouldn't say, hey, write me a paper, clawed. I would just be like, hey, give me the list of the notes. Because what I hated from college was like listening to Mumble McGee in a suit up front.
Starting point is 01:04:48 Yeah. Take so many notes. Talk about the mitochondria. Yeah. I failed biology twice. In high school? College. Oh.
Starting point is 01:04:59 Yeah. But I just wasn't really. I wasn't showing up. I got a 40 on the final exam. I didn't even take my final exam. No, I needed an 80 to pass. I got a 40. 80 to pass?
Starting point is 01:05:14 Yeah. I remember it was final. Oh, on the final exam. It was final exam day. And I didn't show up. And then I think I just like, didn't sleep for two days. I was like, I'm not fucking going. And then I emailed them like, hey, I'm sick.
Starting point is 01:05:30 And then they replied like, yeah, that's not going to work. we needed you here you had to take this you gave me no prior warning or whatever like you fail that's just like ah damn I think that's just gonna do it for me in college I think that's how I went out that's just crazy all right
Starting point is 01:05:54 Brack well I guess we're gonna wrap it up we got a we saw the boys just finished over there um Huntsman you excited Who do we got? We got Redigade, Brack, Swootie, Johnny. You excited for this team?
Starting point is 01:06:10 I'm excited because I, like, throughout my time in Challenger's, at least, it's just been, like, ex-pros. Like, my last team was Aesem Cammy Real. That was my last challenge. That was my last challenge. Yeah, yeah. So I think this team is a little bit more unexperienced. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 01:06:28 But, I mean, I think we're all, like, super sick. I'm super excited to play with John because, I've been watching Halo Some Johnny hype Some like John's disgusting Oh I'm thinking Johnny No no John I won an event with Johnny last year
Starting point is 01:06:42 Yeah Renegade is I was talking to Zini about this Renegade reminds me of myself A little bit Just like a way better version But I feel like like I think Is he running a sub On your team
Starting point is 01:06:54 Because I think on the last team He was an AR He was like trying to flex Or something And I was talking to flex or like AR or something And I was talking as any about it. And I was like, oh, that can't be fucking
Starting point is 01:07:04 Renegade. Renegade's play style is like he needs to kind of do what he feels he should. But like an AR, it's like you gotta have rules of like, yo, you can't like, bro, I don't give a fuck about that kill. Get back to the fucking spawn,
Starting point is 01:07:20 block the spawn and hold that shit. It's going to be bored. But like, Renegade can't do that. He needs to like find his flow state. He needs to like trust his instincts. And we haven't got to play much We had the elite qualifier this past weekend. So, I mean, we qualified.
Starting point is 01:07:37 We have our first matches like Wednesday and Thursday. So I've seen him in flow state this past weekend. And it's insane. Yeah, he enters a weird. He fries. He enters, probably. And HALO, man. In Halo, he entered Flow State more than like anybody.
Starting point is 01:07:55 It was actually, what's the consensus for Renegade? It's like he kind of, has he ever talked about among Challenges? players? Like, do people think he has, like, the potential is... I think people are nervous to play with John. To play with him? Yes. Is that what you're talking about?
Starting point is 01:08:11 Like, playing with him? Well, anything. Play with him against him. Do people think he's good at this but bad at that? I think he's really, I think he's really good major one split this season. He was frying at the event. Yeah. It was, I mean, if he caught that flow state, like...
Starting point is 01:08:28 If he does that with you, you would. Yeah. This major two split I think he was doing that AR stuff For the flexing or whatever I don't know I think like if he just runs a sub And just is like a free bird
Starting point is 01:08:43 Like yeah He has people like telling him what to do I think that's whenever he's in his best So Hey I completely good I completely agree All right I think that's gonna do it for us Brack we appreciate you
Starting point is 01:08:55 Best of luck With the uh Challenger squad With the Huntsman man And for you. Fisher Eastport. This might be our best team yet.
Starting point is 01:09:04 Yeah, and good luck with Fisher. Good luck with Fisher. All right, that's going to do it for the Flycast, man. Matt, Greg. Played the outro music.
