Wait, wait. Can you start us off with a prayer? You want me to start us off with a prayer? Yeah. Right. Dear Lord, thank you so much for another beautiful day here on planet Earth. Thank you so much for the friends, the company, the amazing people we get to work with on an almost daily basis. Lord, just thankful for this opportunity you've given to us to wake up and better ourselves. every single day.

Lord, relieve me of my anxieties, stressors, and depressors. Bring me a little bit of a little bit of peace and mental clarity today, Lord. And thank you so much. I have faith that if I lead down your path,

it will be the correct path for me and I'm going to live a good life, Lord. Thank you so much for everything. Look over Hitch 2. In Jesus' name we pray, amen. Amen. You know, I be doing that? Welcome back to the podcast.

Episode 154. You know, I'll be doing that on the BTH Watch parties. Is that why you said that? No. Really? Yeah, I just needed that. You've never heard me say like a prayer on the... Oh, I've heard you like say...

Well, I knew before you, before you were walking in the light of the Lord, you would jokingly do it. Really? And I was always like, you know... Yeah, I was like, how are you? How are you so good at joke praying? In the Scuff House, you would joke prayer and it would be so good. Really?

That literally sounds like a- I don't remember that. It sounds like a youth group leader. Yeah, no, I don't remember that. No, but I have been doing it on the, I do pray every day. But sometimes, and I've been doing it on the, watch, the BTH watch parties. Yeah. But sometimes I just feel like a fraud.

because it's like I don't know I just haven't especially sometimes the way I live my life which can be very would promiscuous be the right word

you're sleeping around and shit I'm just I've just been a little reckless lately just drinks alcohol doing this doing that promiscuous is like

purely sexual I think okay well not purely sexual just I've just I've been a little bit of a DGEN lately, haven't been treating myself the right way, haven't been tapping into the Lord,

to the source too much as of late. So sometimes when I just, I'll say prayers on the, or the BTH watch party and I'll just, just right when I start, I'm like, man, I'm a fraud.

Because like I haven't been reading the Bible. I haven't been on my Bible app. I've just been like enjoying summer. And here I am saying a prayer thinking like a prayer is the only thing I need to like, save me. But I mean, how it started was I would, I was so, I think we talked about it on a pod like months ago when I like first started getting into like, I was into the Bible app a little bit

and I was learning a little bit and just like getting more in tune with my faith. And so I started like praying every just when I wake up I would pray and I would be so fucking anxious every single time I wake up and like praying really did help by just like feeling like I put everything in God's hands and that no matter how bad something happens no matter how bad a performance is no matter how bad a prayer is to start off a podcast if I embarrass myself if I have a panic attack mid fucking content or however bad the day however bad the day could go that everything's going to be fine anyway, God's got my back. And that's sort of how I started living, but I feel like I've...

I mean, I've gone away from it a little bit. Yeah, it's... It's a crazy lifestyle. Aren't you? You're, like, pretty religious, aren't you? Yeah, but I feel like you never... I grew up super religious. I feel like you never really, like, talk about it.

No, like, when I... It just doesn't come off in your personality. Yeah, which is probably a bad thing. Maybe it's a good thing But like I mean I grew up super religious Like my family I was at church

I was at church and soccer practice Whenever I wasn't in school Like that was it I didn't do anything else But then like After my dad died like I still went to church And went on and off from church

And then and then In college I just never found a church So then I would kind of just you know, do things on my own time. And that's kind of, you know, that's kind of where it's been at since then. Have you read the Bible? Yeah.

I'm going to take this invisible line out. It always. I can mess with you? Yeah, no, I read the Bible a lot. You've read the whole thing front to back? Oh, I don't, I mean, I'm sure I probably have. Yeah. I never started from Genesis 1 and, and like, ended.

Keep your little. No, no, no, never did that. But, like, when you're at church, like, you go through different paths. messages and bounce back and forth between different like stories and stuff but i've i mean i've forgotten a lot of the stories i mean obviously i get the general premise but i've forgotten a lot of like all the teachings and stuff so i probably should i mean i definitely should i mean it's just it's such a hard read like i can't like it's a hard read with just regular books i'd like it's hard to read like i'll i'm i am reading it but as i'm reading it i don't i'm thinking of yeah

Like God knows what else. I can read. No, I can, I can read words, but I can't read. Same. I cannot read. I can't read and like attain the information. Me neither. The only books, the only time I can attain information from books is when it's like, is, is like

audio books. Because I think I can listen. I can listen. Like, the only book I've. I feel like it's fake if you listen to it. That's, I know. Some, some readers feel that way. But, but like, the only book.

that I've like taken in was because I didn't read it. I listened to it. But it was a book called, um, uh, holes. Goose pumps. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. No, it was, um, uh, a project Hail Mary. It was actually a really good. I looked up, I looked up like I was making the drive to Arizona and I, so I just looked

up like the best audio book and this guy won a one of, one of the, one of the, award for the best audio book and it was called Project Hail Mary. And I was like, all right, I'll check it out. Dude was so good. What was it about? He's about this, uh, the, the world is in danger because the sun is losing its energy and it's getting But is it like some real facts he's spitting though? It's like, is he trying to, it's a book.

It's a fiction book. Oh. I thought he was actually like, no, it's saying facts and this guy's going to save the world. No, no, no, no. It's a fictional book. See, I can't get into it. like fictional shit. I need like real shit.

Real shit. Like I can't get into like made up stories or. Yeah. Maybe maybe that's why even like some TV shows. If it's not like realistic, I can't get into it. Like Game of Thrones. Medieval stuff. Or like, bro, a dragon, you know?

Like come. But if it's like Breaking Bad to where I'm like. Right. You're like, ooh, a chemistry professor. Yeah. You know, is dying and these are his, and he starts to do all this shit because he's dying. And that, that I can believe. But like other fiction books.

Love Island. You like Love Island? I've been watching Love Island, but it's mostly for women. Yeah. But my God, dude. Have you watched a single episode? No, I don't even know what it's about. Dude, love.

I'm guessing, let me guess. Guess what Love Island is about. A bunch of really hot people. Uh-huh. let's say eight of each eight guys eight girls they put them on an island together supply them with fitness equipment

alcohol pools put them all in bikinis and they have to pair up and they every week they kick someone off until only two remain and those two people get married I don't know if they get married wait did I get that I mean basically yeah

that's the show wait so only two remain? Yeah, they win. I think they win like 100,000. I don't think they get married or anything. Oh, so they don't love each other. But I haven't been into it too much. But I've definitely watched a few

episodes episodes for the ladies. Like I'm not watched like I'll watch with a girl if it makes them happy. Have you watched multiple episodes with different women? Oh my God. I shouldn't

start. I shouldn't start talking about that. You're getting checked up, right? Huh? You're getting checked up, right? Checked up? Yeah, like, making sure you're good. Yeah, no, I'm sure.

Yeah, no, I'm definitely good. You didn't sound very confident. Definitely. Nah, I'm straight. No, I got it. Yeah, I get you. But anyways, yeah, I watched a little bit too. But that is basically what it is.

Like, I think at the beginning, it's like five hot dudes, It's five hot girls. Every girl has to have their ass cheeks out. Every dude has to have abs. Yeah. And then it starts from there. You basically pick, you kind of, I think you start feeling out everyone. And you sort of pick your partner of who your girlfriend's going to be.

But it's like partner. And then you like see how that goes for a few days. But then someone else can steal your partner because they will. Bro, there's times. First off, I don't know how they. do this because in the first, I think of the very first episode, say like five guys, five girls, they put the five guys in like a circle and they like blindfold them. Yeah. And then the girls go one at a time, make out with every single guy and just to see like what the first

connection's like. Then the second girl goes. Makes out with every single guy. Then the third girl, then the fourth girl. Wait, so if you're the last guy, you're just getting slobber from all the other guys? all the other guys. This is what they do. It's fucking gross and it's insane. You're just like, it's gross. And then the same. Yeah.

And then the same thing. Then they sit the girls down. The guys are, they blindfold the girls. And then the guys go around, kiss every single girl, kiss every single girl, kiss every single girl. And from there, they're like, stand the guys up. And I think, you know, the girls would be like, who, who are you feeling? right now. And they'll base it off like the kiss and their looks.

And so they'll pick like, they'll pick like two people they're interested in. Okay. And then the guys will, it'll flip and it's kind of the same thing. And then from there they kind of trickle it down to picking their partner. But it's just like, bro. And they do that every like every episode or every other episode, there's some kind of circley makeout session to where they're all just like kissing each other. and I'm like bro if I started dating

say I started dating someone and we get serious and we're girlfriend and boyfriend and then I find out she was on Love Island Season 1 which was I don't say 20 say like fucking eight years ago or something so I'm like

I have to go back and see what what this was like like I feel like you would have to I wouldn't want to watch it but I would have to see and then you just see her making out with like eight different guys in a row and the girls in the back like cheering them on and she's just like twerking and on camera and shit in front of everything and on national television or i guess it's not national television it is national television on national tv they're

doing this and i'm just like oh god i could i could never be with the girl like that like if they did that privately then i just would never have to know you're just never know but the fact that it's public, I mean, I just gonna do it. Like, I don't know. Well, first off, they're all gonna come out of this. Millions of followers.

Brand deals. They're gonna get rich off this. So I guess if, like, there's this one girl named Huda, who's like, people were kind of calling the hottest and... Huda? H-U-D-A.

Can you look up H-U-D-A? Yeah, look up H-U-D-A. I think she's coming out with the most followers out of all this. She's the hottest. This is the hottest? I wouldn't say the,

I think she was maybe the second hottest, but like she is kind of my type. Um, but she's gonna probably, I think she, she came out the most famous. Oh, okay. Oh, yeah,

let's look at the guy. Let's look at, I mean, let's look at all the people. Uh, yeah, I don't know. Oh, that's season three.

Oh, we're on season seven. Damn, this shit's been around for. Yeah, I don't even know all their names. I see if. Doesn't that say it? Like the top middle

pictures. Oh. the top left picture oh these are all the dudes though and hooda oh no no click the top left one right there oh yeah so these are this was like the original people that were on it okay it was four guys four girls who ended up winning wait let me guess hooda blue bikini or she's the red bikini huda is wait where is huda i think she's red bikini all right she's red bikini all right red bikini and i don't think anyone on here won because they bring in new people oh and other people get voted off i think a girl a girl and a guy who are new ended up winning

but i'm not there yet imagine coming in coming into the love island halfway through everyone's already banged each other you're walking i mean no you walk in bro you'll be like you'll be like you'll be i don't know how long they're on these islands but say it's you and your partner Like you've really held it down with each other. You're not going around. You're like, this is our team or like this is our partnership. Like, because you want to stick together because that's how you win. Yeah.

Like you want to make it seem like you are the couple. You ain't fucking with that other shit. Like, and that's how people like, if people see that and see that it's real, they vote for you to like stay on or some shit. Right. So you want like that real shit. But they'll vote people off. And then when they vote people off, they'll bring. bring in new people and then those new people it's a whole other circle they do the same

like last time they were they pin the guys and the girls to like almost like a cross it was like an ex but they're just like propped up on this thing like all the guys are just like pinned up and the new girl comes in and just makes out with every single dude and all of their like girlfriends sit there and like watch and like some get pissed some get oh my god some of the girls get pissed. I didn't know it was this kinky of a show. I thought it was like... It's kinky as fuck.

Dude, I literally thought it was just like the bachelor. Bro, this hooda girl, the girls went first, I think. They got like, you know, chained up. They got chained up. Two new dudes entered the villa. And so the dude, the two dudes all went around, made out with the girls and like they're kissing hooda and she's, like,

it's fucking seven seconds long, wet as fuck tongue. And they're like, they're showing it all. and then the next dude comes, makes out with her again, same thing, like seven seconds, tongue, sloppy, everything. And then it's the boys' turn. So, like, Hoot is like this, and then their partners on the back of the X like this as well, and they just turn it. So now, Hood, Hood, hood's face in the other way. He makes out with the dude?

And then it's the boy's turn. No, and then they bring it, then they bring the new girl on. Then they brought one new girl on. She goes, makes out with everyone. and the dude Huda was with was like making out with her and Huda was like this and was in the guy like pissed off like okay that's

enough or like some shit like that and it's just like you just made out with two dudes for like seven seconds sloppy as fuck tongue everything and it was just like an insane like double standard but this show is just I don't know bro I don't know if I could like

if I if I like dated someone found out they were on Love Island six years ago and then they went through this is this show is kinky as fuck holy shit but i mean like they do i'm not gonna watch it but like sometimes they'll be like they're all like into it though like sometimes they'll be like oh that was so hot or like they'll see their partner making out with someone and they'll be like oh i i couldn't look away to be honest and it's just like bro it's some fucking freaky ass shit and you got to wonder how many of these people

have boyfriends and girlfriends in the real world there's no way I guarantee you one of them does I guarantee you I guarantee it do you think a girlfriend or boyfriend will allow their person to go in here

knowing how the show goes they probably went into the show with a boyfriend or a girlfriend because like imagine you got to think these guys are 1 208 there's no outside contact either that's what I'm saying you come home and they probably recorded this

is it live recorded or is it like months ago? I think it's pretty fucking live Oh is it? Like it just ended so like they're just getting home Like when the season ends They're home like a day or two later And Can like finally access their Instagram and shit

So I think it's like I don't think they record it And then edit for eight months And then put it up like I think it's I think it's pretty fucking quick in live. Oh man. One of these people, if not had a boyfriend or a girlfriend

definitely was like talking to someone and then they got this. I mean, maybe. Someone was probably definitely talking to someone and they got this opportunity and took it. Sorry, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. The one, the tall black dude in the middle, he's been people started looking up,

they found out of just like Twitch name. He's been in like, I think like Kai's chat. That's the ex-QC guy, right? The guy who or like ex-ccc chat. Oh, okay, okay. I heard about that. That's crazy. Yeah, that's kind of interesting that because you can tell.

Your girls, you talk, all the different girls you talk to, like eat it up and shit? Do they all love it? Every single female just loves Love Island. It's just porn, but just the story. When I watch it, it like pisses me off because it's everything I hate. But I like. You can't look away. Oh yeah, he's on stream with Kai

Was this Was this after the show? Oh, he's already appearing on streams and shit Yeah But like everything about the show Just fucking pisses me off It sucks

It just I hate hot dudes Yeah, me too I hate beautiful women that are That wouldn't talk to me And then I just get to see them Have all the fun with each other And you wish you were on the island You want to go to an island

I would not be able to handle this island And also I looked up I was like are they like just drunk all the time Apparently they're only allowed like A glass of wine or like one or two beers a day Like they want to keep it like sober Because when you start throwing alcohol It'll probably be some crazy shit show fight

Yeah let's put nine Let's put 10 hot people on an island And give them alcohol like But it's just everything that I hate like I hate um I hate just fucking whores and being a whore

and like the shit that like they like during the show they'll try to like make their man jealous and like they're just making out with other dudes they're sleeping in the same bed as one dude but then they're making out with another dude and I remember in the beginning hood a lot about um

she was with her partner I don't know if anyone gives a fuck No, I'm interested. I bet you there's people. So in the beginning, Hood is with her partner who's the tall black dude in the middle.

And they were, they're kind of like this. Like they were kind of like locking it down. And then they were all sitting in a circle for like some little challenge thing. And then he was blindfolded or everyone was blindfolded.

And then the the main person who like narrates the shit or direct. the shit is like who here would like an opportunity to explore a different partner and hooda was like this and then um and then so everyone who raised their hands got a chance to go kiss the person they would want to be interested in or like they have other they have an interest in and like keep in mind her dude is still just blindfolded and then she gets up and go kisses i think the guy besides

beside her, Ace, the other black dude with like chest tattoos, yeah. Goes and kisses him, comes back, sits down, and like no one ever, and like no one ever knows. And like even Ace is just like, I don't know who kissed me, but. And then basically, Huda and Jeremiah, her dude. Yeah. She ends up lying to him and says like, no, I didn't get up. And then he's like, oh, okay, cool. Like, I didn't get up either.

And then, and then it's just, it's just. on camera and I'm just like how are you like you know this is on fucking camera oh man and then basically the some shit comes out and they start breaking down like yeah some girl kiss me and then Jeremiah's like why no hooda didn't get up and they were like whoa and they started doing the math why I got kissed she got kissed

and then I don't well I know she didn't get up so they're it's either a hood or this girl and then I don't think this girl got up and then it became like basically just got caught in a lie. It was fucking weird. But yeah, there's so much, there's so much drama within the show. And it's,

I mean, they, they did, they picked the right personalities. Everyone on this show is a piece of shit. Everyone on this show, they might actually be like, cool as fucking person.

They just, they just have to do it. But they have, but they, you can't go on there and be like, I'm cool with whatever. But like, your personality has to be like sort of the fuck boy,

the hot fuck boy that like, knows how to play those games with women and the women know how to manipulate and try to get every guy to like them and playing games behind their back and shit it's just a whole i can't believe i've only watched like a few episodes and here i am explaining it like i'm like i'm like i'm a season bet now it's an interesting show though uh interesting show i don't even know how the fuck we got here i thought i was talking about breaking bad or something We were. And then I said, you like, you like that real stuff like Love Island.

And then you went down to Rabbit. No, I've watched it a little bit. But sometimes it's just like, it just sickens me. It fucking sickens me. I got stuck in, I got stuck in Miami. I went down to do the. Chris Williamson? Chris Williamson?

Was he? That's funny. What does he do? He's like a massive podcaster. Really? He's like, he's like smart as fuck. He's actually, probably my favorite. podcasting.

Really? I've never even heard of it. No, actually, look at this. Chris Williamson. My Instagram story from last night. Like it was a movie. This is it.

And people watching up to this point, what would the audience be screaming at the screen telling you to do with your life? What would the audience watching the movie of your life be screaming at the screen telling you to do? And I think it's a very

orthogonal way. to look at holy fuck you should not what I should be doing I'm just scared of making me yeah you gotta watch Chris Williamson I don't know if I can't

it's funny we brought him up and he's just on my Instagram story I don't know but I'm not in the spot to watch what did he say what would if there was an audience watching your life is a movie what would the audience be sitting there screaming at you to do or maybe even not do

but no he's got some shit you got to watch this podcast he's really good he does podcast with like everyone he's he's he's he's he's he's he's actually my favorite podcaster now that I think about it um I love his shit he was on and he was just making out with girls on I don't know I got to go I'm actually I'm actually interested I'm interested I want to see what he was doing on there but like he does have a pass like he was a club promoter for like 15 12 years or something um so he was he was probably in those streets but now now he's just smart as fuck grunt

Minding doing multiple podcasts. What are we going to get smart as fuck? Like, what year does it hit? I'm trying to get jacked first. I don't know if I can get smart. The only hope is for me to get jacked. And God almighty, man, my summer has just been so... Yeah, you have to get the summer bod and then use it in the summer.

I got down... You were trying to get the summer bod in the summer. I could have it right now. Yeah. Like, it's been about three weeks. I was... I was 197.8. It's been about three weeks.

If I would have kept doing what I was doing, dropped two pounds a week, I'd be almost 190 right now looking fucking good. Instead, I'm like 205. Woke up yesterday, I was 208. It's just fuck, man. It's so easy to put on weight. Yeah.

I got into like certain little adventures, started going out a little more. I was like, you know what? It's summer. We had the, we had a week off. because of world so I just did whatever the fuck I wanted yeah took a break from streaming and it just turned into like once I started I just didn't stop and then like two three weeks later when you're fucking just drinking alcohol then you get home you don't want to eat something healthy you just order

Taco Bell you're not even hungry not even hungry 2 a.m. Taco Bell now how much is a peloton Matt But I don't want to talk about it. I want to get a Peloton. I'm done talking about my fitness journey. I am strong, though. I'm the strongest I've ever been, for sure. 1,100 refurbished?

You don't Peloton. I know, I don't. I'm interested in doing in Peloton. Just run outside in 100 degrees. Yeah, I just run outside. 110 degrees. I still got to do a marathon before the next race of prestige. I don't know if that's happening.

It might have to be a treadmill marathon Have you talked about what's happening next week or no? Talked about it on the Halo pod a little bit. It seems like you're loving the drop pod. Especially when it is the Halo podcast So we in Open Cups are playing And like they don't give a fuck about the Open Cups.

They don't want to talk about it. I would like it if they faked it And like Bound was on again like two weeks ago He was very good. He was talking the whole time. but sometimes if they walk in and the first thing I'm bringing up is like, all right, just finish the last chance qualifier.

This team won, phase forfeited, blah, blah, blah. It's just like, they just don't care. Like they don't really care to talk about Halo when they're the best team and they don't really want to, because when me and Brad talk about it, we sort of talk about like what team played well, what team didn't, was this person struggling?

like we're down to call people out. Like, Faze forfeited, basically, to have a better pool. Like, Faze didn't play in the tournament because they knew they'd have a better pool for the event. And, like, we're trying to, like, call him out for that. Or, like, me and Brad are sort of calling them out. But, like, we're also, like, we sort of understand. But Brad's like, yeah, that's still some pussy shit, though.

Then, like, formal and bound or just like, yeah, I mean, I kind of get it. I'm just like, all right, well. Because they don't want to. say anything negative and I and I get it they don't want to like they don't want to dive into the drama yeah shots he fucking scarred us all he did shots he scarred us all we don't want to start

talking shit about other players or Bruce's fuck we were we were talking about Halo uh or Zen Zen and formal we're talking about Halo and they're just sitting there like yapping or whatever and Bruce walks up and goes so guys you all talking about champs

what the fuck dude Bruce is funny as fuck What's up guys? You all talking about champs? Wait, why were they talking about A-Lo? I think they were talking about the... B-TH? Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. There might be an update on B-TH here soon. Yeah, not really going to dabble into it, but if you don't know, me and APG have a B-TH open team that we did a whole tryouts thing for. We picked the best four players from the trialouts that we thought.

They played in the last-chance, qualifier kind of got shit on by like an average team so i don't know not looking the best but they look decent and scrims and i was like watching little gaiters pov and i was like this guy's kind of fucking good like how are we how did we just get destroyed by this shit team but i think to be honest i think they're just in their head they know me and apg are watching like this dude gunplexion who's on the team the team is facty little gators syrian and gunplexion gunplexion Gunplexion always streams. And then, like, he has, like, the biggest core audience from, like, the AMI scene.

So it's, like, the turn he starts. He knows we're fucking watching his game. Like, me and APG are sitting there watching his gameplay. And I just know it, like, throws them off a little bit. Like, it's just a lot of pressure, I guess. Like, it just didn't seem like he was playing his game. We kind of got shit on by some average fucking team that I feel like we should be beating. But I don't know.

We'll see how the We'll see what happens with the BTH open team We'll be in We're flying them out to Salt Lake City So they will be able to compete at it at the event Got them an Airbnb and shit Trying to get them jerseys So doing it for real

But I mean we'll we'll see Hopefully they can make some sort of run That's sort of been APGs Halo content The past the past month He's kind of been on cloud nine to be honest. Not the org. Not the org.

The lifestyle. And not high. Well, APG's been on one lately. He's been loving his streams. He's been, numbers are doing good. He had like a thousand viewers. Formal text to me, it was like,

is APG viewboding? He had like 1.2K viewers just like watching the BTH team scrim. I was like, what the fuck is going on? I was like, did I choke not being involved? But right now, I don't know. I don't fucking know. How's your, I don't know what I want to do with my stream.

What about you? I don't know what I want to do with my life. So pretty different. What? What about your YouTube videos? Those are still fun. I'm going to keep doing those. Yeah.

Because I think it's only a matter of time before one does well. I, I just try to figure it all out, man. It's hard. It's so, dude, it is. Like, obviously. TST has been in a in a, we've been in a blender for like three years now. Oh yeah.

So like another thing we tried, we're like, all right, let's try this like see, because like we had the, we added the talk like CSTs had the talk like is this it? Like should we call it now? And just like be dumb with streaming? Yeah, just like they were they were looking at jobs and stuff and and and I was like you know like if we want to try it. here's a couple things we can try to do and let's see if it works and so we're in the middle of that uh and one of the things we tried is like bring back the 100 hour series because it's the most

successful thing we've ever done we got like 2.8 million views on the video so it was a fucking great i don't know why we ever stopped and so we try we're like let's just do 100 hours of c s c s you know i can feel a wave coming there's an there's an in a major and so we start doing c s like eight hours into our 100-hour series, NadeShot decides he wants to start opening cases. So that helped your stream a lot. Yeah, so I've been talking to nine people in chat

every night for two weeks. And all nine of them? They're watching NadeShot spend 50K on cases? I'm not. Watching me play 8,000 premiere matches? Yeah. Yeah, for some reason, that's just more exciting. That's fucked.

It's such a, and so I'm sitting there like, it's a weird thing man because obviously I love that somebody in our community is popping off cool I think the nade Tim shit is hilarious I like watching it but like every time somebody comes in and is like dude Tim just got a gold

I'm like bro I want to fuck it I want to fist myself The multi-millionaire just got some crazy shit Guys we're trying to hit 1100 subs But what the wait What the multi-millionaire on pack No way he got the gold knife

Oh my God They shots on an 8,000-s-train Wait, I gotta pause everything and check this out. Dead ass people will come in a chat And it's like, I understand it. Like, I'm not saying anyone should be watching us over that. Yeah, no. But people will come, literally, viewers will come in

And they'll say, you gotta watch, Shroud just joined the call. You gotta go watch OniPixel stream right now. They're all in the stream together. And I'm just like, dude, I'm, I can't. I got to try this. I got to try this. Yeah.

Just like even, I don't know, watch party, Nate shot Tim watch party. Dude. What if we just did that? But that's a lot of voices. I guarantee you. Us as TST watch partying, Tim and Nate spend cases. We would get 65. percent more viewers.

Yeah. It would be, it's such a, dude, it's such a difficult thing to navigate. Speaking of which, Matt, don't you have some kind of, were there numbers behind this?

How much? So what is their thing? I'll explain. Break down what they're fucking doing. So they started spinning cases. 600,000. They started spinning cases. And Tim and Nate,

Tim knows a lot about CS. Nate doesn't know anything. Nate likes gambling. And he saw, his viewer count literally skyrocketed. So he was like, fuck, let's keep doing this. So then the guy in the top right, his name is Arrow. He has been, and the guy on the top left, his name is Oni Pixel.

So those guys are CS guys and they're CS skins guys. So they open cases, they trade skins. They sell the, they pre-package and trade up and all that shit. That's what they do. The guy in the top right arrow knows this like little demon. his name is megaladon no one knows who he is he's a little demon in the in the c s

community he's been he's been collecting boxes for like 20 years in c s he has these boxes that there's people don't even know if there's any left in the world so like it's hard to price them he had like 30

of them and one of them what are they like old boxes you just can't get anymore yeah they're old little capsules and you open the capsule and it spins stickers that you put on your gun. Stick little stickers.

And three of those stickers are worth like 30K and up. One of them is worth what I think it's, is the Titan Hollow? Is it 80K? I think it's 80,000. $80,000 for a holographic sticker. So that guy was like, yeah, 80,000.

$80,000 for that sticker That sticker And you put it on your... Why? Just because it's so rare I think... Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this team and another team got banned from Counterstrike

for fixing matches And so Obviously their logo got taken out of the game And so then it became like a commodity Like if you have the Titan Hollow Like the cheating The cheating guys Like you're like one of the

the only people in the world that has it. So it became rare. But the capsule that you can even open this on is worth $20,000 a capsule. And he had like 30 of them. What? What do you mean by a capsule? It's just like a case. It's a capsule is a case

for stickers instead of guns. So you open the capsule and it goes to They used to Capsules used to like be the thing back in the day. No, capsules are just for stickers. Cases are for guns. But were capsules. always that price? No.

No, no, no, no. It's just because... Like they used to just be some regular shit, but now you can't get them anymore. They still are. They still are the regular shit because you can still put stickers on your gun. But just not old capsules.

Yeah, the 2014, that specific tournament... That specific tournament capsule is worth $20,000. And he had so many of them. And so he gave four guys, these four guys, the one of each of those capsules.

And... Just like 20K,000 K, 20K,000. 20 K. Yeah. And like a shit ton of cases, like really rare cases. Cases, some cases are $100 a case. He gave him like, like, 50 of them or something like that. I'm paraphrasing, but like some cases were like a thousand dollars a case.

Like insane shit. Like he, and he gave everyone, I think it was $100,000 or $80,000 to $100,000 a piece. And then. And cases. in cases. And then they labeled it. These four guys labeled it. What is he getting?

I don't know. The rumor is, no one knows who this guy is. The rumor is his CS inventory is around $30 million. I think Blake told me, Blake told me, like he's doing this for fun.

$39 million is what Blake told me. What the fuck. So, so they, um, so, these four guys started branding it the biggest case opening in history

and it was like that was this it was uh it was I think it was around like 360 million or 360 thousand dollars or something like that then an or 240 something I'm getting that whatever then another guy another random guy gave a bunch of shit they all they worked with a bunch of it and other people and got a bigger case opening so it was like 300 grand And then this guy, the Meglodon guy, was like, fuck that.

I am going to be the biggest case opening. Added two more people to this. So there's two additional people. So it's these four guys, a guy named Sparkles, a guy named Jesus. And they all and gave them the same package that they gave these guys. So then it made it all the way up to what was the end? That's what they opened, right? All the way up to like 600.

brand. No, 500. And no one knows who this guy is, what he looks like, where he's from. $500,000, $590,000 and they all, they ripped it all in one day. Because then he added XQC at the end, too. Gave XQC a capsule or something or something. And he gets nothing out of it? Nothing.

Just being like Big Dick Megalodon. Literally gets. That's a sick, that's a sick name for doing this. Big Dick Mechledon. What's his name, Megalodon? Meglodon. I mean, that's a sick kind of name for doing shit like this, though. And this is just everything.

Like the cases were worth like 70 grand, but then what he's got out of them is worth, this is what it's showing what it's worth out of them. So Nade shot had the biggest loss. He turned, what was it, like $60 grand into $9,300? There was something like, or $7,000, $90,000? $90,000? Biggest loss.

$95,000 he turned into $9,300. Jesus, man. But it's like not even his money. Not even his money. But they just, and at one point, they're all spinning. Only Pixel goes, you know what's crazy, guys? We're all opening $100,000 worth of stuff. They're chasing one gun.

They're chasing one gun for a lot of this stuff. And he was like, we could have just sold all this stuff and bought the gun. Yeah. How much is the gun? like 100 grand like 90 grand but the one they were going for is like dude dude the odds to hit what they were going for is like one and a trillion really and like it i think it's so rare it hasn't even ever happened before i think no one's got it so there's a dude it's fucking it's so deep there's a gun you love this shit no i've just been playing counterstrike and this is what everybody in chat

has been telling me for the last two months oh that's how you're getting your information from your chat. Like when I'm live, people tell me what everyone else is doing. What the good streams doing? What the good, yeah, what the like, dude, you could be doing this. Then people come to our chat. Yeah, you could be doing that. People come to our chat. When are you guys going to start spend cases? I'm like, Blake and George were applying for jobs three weeks ago.

Yeah. Which one of y'all are going to put up 590 grand. Oh my God. 500 grand. Start like a donation goal and make 590k and see if it actually like starts catching on. I forgot what I was saying now. Oh, oh, yeah, the gun they were chasing. So the gun they're chasing for is it was called a Dragon lore op. It's like the rarest skin in like the coolest gun. But they were opening sticker cases or they were opening a souvenir cases, what they're called.

So what a souvenir case is, if there was a souvenir case in Halo, it would be a case. And it would be called the 2009 Halo National Championship case. and it would say this case is signed by Nicholas Kirshner. And on the gun somewhere, whatever gun you open, you spin it, you get a plasma pistol, and it says maniac on, it has your autograph on the gun somewhere. So what they were going for is the rare gun, which is one in 2000 chance, to get the rare gun with a good signature. So they wanted Kenny S, who was an operer, like a sniper, they wanted a Kenny S pack,

and they wanted to get the Dragon Lord op and they wanted the Kenny S signature to be on the scope and if all those things happened it would have been a $1.5 million gun but the odds are astronomically low so did anyone get anything good

bro when I tell you not you open cases before right like once so like there's a rarities there's rarities on it and they go there's a bunch of grays that go by there's like a light blue that goes by and then there's like purple pink red purple pink red those are the ones you want one of

the guys said at one point in his career he's open 2,000 of these cases and he's never seen a red go by never even seen it go by red's the most rare red's the one yeah not even land on it what's that gold with the gold shit like when it's spinning like that you want it to land on gold that's a knife they weren't even going for nice okay they were just going for the red for this he's open 2000 and Never seen a red. Never even seen it went by. Not even, not even,

not even, yeah. Like, that's like going to a slot machine and never seeing a seven. Like, like, the seven's,

like, you need all three of them to hit. Never even seen one seven go by. It's all bars. Yeah. Like, that's fucking crazy. So a factory new,

non-suvineer dragon lore is 13 grand. souvenir field tested. Is 42 grand? What does it mean? What's this mean? Battle Scard, well worn. That's how good at it.

Like how, how, how the, how clean it is, basically. Like, used in game? Yeah, like, if you have a pistol in game, a factory new one will be, like, shiny and, like, Oh, really? And battle scard will literally be scratched up. No, no, no, no. No, it's not, it doesn't do it as you use it. Like, if you use a fact, if you open a factory new, it's always factory new.

Right. But, like, you can open, you can get a. But when you start using it. No, no, no, no. It doesn't go down. It doesn't go down when you use it. It's only when you open it. So you can open a well-worn. Yes. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Okay. So, like, if you spend, if you, if you spend, like, if you open 100 cases and you finally get your knife, your knife could be the most beat up, scratched up, gross-looking knife worth a hundred bucks. And you spent, you just spent two grand on it. But like if it was brand new, it's worth like 5K. Yeah, but if it's brand new and it's really good, like it could be worth up to like $18,000. It's insane.

Like the souvenir op that they're going for, right now, $487,000. And that's what they're going for. That was what they were going for. But no one even opened anything remotely close. So is anything up for sale? Did they put up any of their own money? I know Nate was putting up I forget how much he said he spent

50, 60, 80,000 or something Yeah And he would make a thing Like his wife's mad at him But I'm like bro He's sitting there with 40,000 viewers It's so good I'm like you just run some ads

You'll be just fine Dude the dynamic between Tim and Nate Is like one of the best streaming runs I've ever seen like they're them like they're like oh my god we have to spend more money our wives are going to be mad it's like I love it because

I knew of those guys when they were like little like kids kids playing fucking like obviously Nate competing in cod and Tim like in his early days I want to see early Tim he had like small streamer the long hair and shit the

I've never seen it but like just to see like those guys get to a point where like they can be little kid streamers and like be entertaining and then go through their whole point in life and now they're both fathers. Yeah that's time what the fuck

that shit's funny but go go through the whole cycle of life and now they get to make like literal father jokes and like bring their wives in on the bits and like still entertain like that's fucking awesome. I mean we just lost $10,000.

I got nothing. Oh, no. Well, I ran an ad and got it all back, but. No, it's a dope. I think I clicked in and watched just like one time. But like, I just don't really understand what the hell is going on. Yeah. Whenever I'm seeing them.

Oh, when they're ripping cases. In general. They're just clicking shit, keys. Like, I don't know what's going on. It was. But the clips I see. see you're pretty good. I'll see shit on Twitter. So this was the biggest CS case opening ever.

Yeah. It'll never be. So what are they doing now? Bro, I don't know. Like, just putting in their own live right now. Do they play? No, I haven't seen any of them play. It's crazy. I remember like not understanding how Castro streams because Castro's like the biggest FIFA streamer in the world. But every time I tuned in, he was just, oh, he's, uh, Tim's playing with Nick. Warzone with Nick. Yeah. Every time I tuned into Castro stream, he was just opening packs in game of like the soccer players. And he had like 30K viewers or some shit.

I'm like, what the fuck? I mean, that's the wave, bro. Plan's not even, playing's just not the wave. Dude, it's not. And I just don't, but I don't know. Like, I'm so glad I got something going for me. And like, hopefully it does well. if you don't know

in about 10 days are we starting it July 23rd 23rd July 23rd me hitch Atlas we're starting renting an Airbnb gonna have it's just you by the way

yeah it's just me I'm not helping no you're not playing strictly producing yeah but I'm doing an Eldon ring marathon I promised it last year from the race the prestige it's damn near been a year and we're finally getting it done.

But yeah, I'm just excited to have like a plan of knowing, like having a goal when I turn the stream on there's a goal. Like when I was when I was playing Minecraft, yeah, and the stream doesn't come off. Yeah, it's going to be a marathon 24-7 cameras everywhere. Fucking backyard kitchen, big room. Naked bitches. Naked bitches, bikinis. It should be good. Yeah.

But I'm excited just to have, like, a goal when I start on the stream. Yeah. Like, whenever I was playing Minecraft, it was so nice just being like, it felt like I would turn on the stream and everyone sort of knew where I was at. Like, okay, today he's, he died last night. So today we got to get his iron back and then just his diamonds. And then, ah, he died again. Ah, ha, ha. Now he has to start over.

But it was fun just having, like, just goals and knowing what I'm turning the stream on. to and then what event did we go to? I think there was some event and then I came back and I was sick so I just took the week off like I was actually super sick and like took the week off

and then like tried signing on Minecraft again but I sort of like I think the only boss I didn't beat was like was it the warden? I don't know some fucking what spawns out of the ground in caves warden?

That was the only boss I hadn't beat So I got back My views were low And I was like Oh fuck here we go Maybe I can like rebuild it though Like I've been gone for a little bit Then like

But within a day or two I beat I beat the warden And I'm like no what is there to do They're like start building And then I like try to act like I'm into it Like I build some shitty houses It's kind of funny Do that for like a few days

Viewerships just going down and down And I'm like fuck This is the end of this is the end of my reign Of fucking The worst part about Minecraft is when you get that first thought that it's like, damn. And you're like, it's over. Yeah, it's over.

I even tried downloading better Minecraft, the mod. Oh, yeah, yeah. And I started playing that and I was just trying to like, guys, new worlds, new everything. This is going to be sick. But then we start playing. He's just going down. No one really gives a shit. I don't know what's going on.

People were telling me to play hardcore. Then it was just like, I was like, fuck. Hardcore is the only way I can play. And then I think we had some Halo stuff. DTH tryouts, watch party. Then, like, summer started hitting. Then we had, like, a week off for Toronto. Or, like, the week before there was barely any content

because everyone leaves on, like, Tuesday or something. Then the week after, since we won, it was like, all right, no content. Even though I had a podcast on, like, Monday. So it's like, all right, this is my vacation. Yeah. So I just started going out more, drinking more, fucking, just being a little D-Gen. I was like, I'm going to just take like a stream break. The stream's been dying out

a little bit. I've nothing, I like no goal whenever I sign on the stream right now. So it's going to be nice signing on, regardless of like viewership and stuff. It's just nice turning on the stream and having some sort of goal to, I mean, it's going to be

non-stop, but we got that or I got that and then right at literally the I don't know how long this is Eldon Ring's going to take to beat, but right after that flying to Salt Lake City for the Halo Watch Party so I'm like at least we got this

and then me and APG after Salt Lake City come home probably do some content or something then me and APG playing on doing like a marathon probably in the HQ of us playing every Halo campaign or Halo 1 Halo 2, Halo 3 and probably Halo

Reach on legendary and like we can't leave until we beat it. That's just going to be hard that is going to be hard. That might take longer than Eldering. You think? Legend. Dude. See, I feel like we can beat a game a day.

At least. Legendary is going to be hard as fucked up. But legendary co-op is easier because you can respawn your boy. But like I'm just thinking of this as like, all right, Alderman will be like seven days. Salt Lake City will be like, you know, we're traveling stuff.

That'll be another five days. We come home, probably recap the event, have some streams, just bullshit. And then after that we can do this marathon. And it gives me like two, three weeks. of content ideas and I'm like yes this is what I want this is what I need

but when it comes to like to just I should stream today but I'm gonna turn on the PC and I have no fucking idea what am I going to watch YouTube videos like I hate it when it gets to this point in the streams but I kind of bit myself in the ass taking a week off being sick like after the event I had so much momentum and it just

if you don't keep up with it it just dies but I'm excited for the next few weeks weeks. Yeah, no, I'm, I'm excited. Well, transparently, guys, well, we're, for people that fucking care. I'm, I'm trying to get, get my foot into, like, production a little bit, dip my toes in because I started an online, uh, events company last year. And it's, it's doing well. Um, we've got like a few things going, but a lot, I, my only experience in anything, really is, uh, tournaments, like, whether it's land. tournaments or online tournaments but I also want to be able to provide like creator events so I

needed to produce one in order to you know have the proof of concept and I was like well I know Nick's never going to do the elder ring thing by himself I would have did it just so maybe so maybe so if it look if people are like why the fuck did hitch go so hard or I don't want to put the standards up there you know maybe maybe if you're ever like oh wait why did why did Nick go so hard. For the Eldon Ring stream? I want to know what like did you are you going crazy for this? We're I mean not crazy like decoration wise we have decorations do you have my my first suit that I'm gonna wear yeah okay day one they open countdown yeah and then the stream opens and it's just me with some shit sword I it's weird I wonder how you're gonna feel about it's weird I wonder how you're

gonna feel about the game. Because I don't know what if, because you're not my type of game. You're not a gamer. You're like a Halo kit. You're like a Halo kit. But I think on stream and there's a goal I can like lock in. Yeah. No, I, I agree with you.

Like I didn't touch Minecraft for fucking years or something. Yeah. And then like, like, X was like, yeah, John. And I joined. And I was like, damn, I kind of forget like everything. So it's just start, start farming. And I'm like, well, I just stream 12 hours. Dude.

And then it turns into like, all right, I can't wait. Yo, eight, I'm texting hex. 8 a.m. tomorrow and it's every single day for like a month of just Minecraft so when I get into it and when there's like a goal and obviously I want I need to beat the game because I've I've salt lake city eight days after we start so it's like I need to beat the game so I think I'll lock in a little bit yeah it'll probably be a lot of like annoyed fucking like oh you're gonna I already asked the Airbnb I said is it is noise going to be a problem and they were like no they're like no it's it's fine as long as you're not like blasting music yeah I was I was gonna say

before we get there I might knock on like the neighbors doors and be like hey just in case you hear like a bunch of swearing or shit being thrown or something like it's just a stream there's no like domestic abuse going on over here because it's happened before to where my neighbors I've had the cops called on me really yeah I think it was that uh I raged last night really bad. To the point where... True texted me and said, I heard that one.

And true, because True lives right next door to me. Oh, really? And True said like, that, I heard... I heard that one. See, I don't even mind, right? Like, whenever I truly rage, I'm like, I needed that. Yeah. Like, I love a real rage.

Yeah. When you're just faking it, because sometimes you'll fake it just to, like, entertain the stream a little bit. And it's like you are pissed off, but it's like... Yeah. But when it's just real true fucking... Like, what was that clip you sent me of me playing, like, Fortnite?

And I'm like... And I'm battling the guy trying to take his box, take his box, open it up, go to pump him in the head. He pumps my fucking head off. And I'm... You just fucking... Like, I just... I don't know. This should...

This Eldon Ring stream should be fucking fun, though. I'm excited for it. put in the you know whatever we start put in the optic group chat like yo like I'm

new an elderly stream all weeks all raids retweets please help me and I think they actually will because

scump even said he was like oh bro I'm excited to watch that I might watch it on stream a little bit because I think everyone sort of

everyone but me knows the I guess the game and the anger and the difficulty that comes with it so I

I've never watched it. It's so fun. It's so fun. I've never watched it. I don't know anything about it. So it's like that's also what's going to make it fun. It's like I'm going to start that game and have no idea. Like I have no idea.

I'm excited to watch you create your character. Like I'm excited. I was going to say, I don't know. Do I pick a character? Do I create a character? Like it's going to be so fun. It's going to be so fun. Yeah.

I can't wait. So everyone make sure you tune into that. Please. It's going to be on July 23rd. 24-7 marathon. Listen, man, I told you I was going to do it. Your boy, Maniac always comes through. Also, I owe what?

I'm doing it for you. You know Maniac comes through it as promises from the race to the prestige. I also have to do a fucking marathon somehow. Just do it during the street? That would ruin the stream. You know, I'd have to be just playing legs straight out. But yeah, it's going to be. a good time. I guess it's going to do

it for us on the flycast. We'll try to find a guest. What are the dates? Are we going to have... Matt Craig, do you have any advice for us? We'll try to find some guests for next week. Give us some advice, Macc. I wanted to get Merck. Did you have a mic? No advice? He doesn't have a mic.

He forgot the mic this time. But yeah, I guess that's going to be it. I appreciate you guys watching.
