It's Emac Craig time. Welcome back to another episode of the Flycast. Emac Craig will be joining us today. Brought to you by Corderoi. He said I wasn't planning on it. Well, you know, that was what we thought. I think we'll have Bose here. People have seen Bose.

They want E. Matthew. They want Matthew. They want electronic Matthew, Craig. That's what they want. Leave a comment. Leave a comment. Who would you really want? Who would you want as our next guest?

The most liked comment will be our next guest. The most liked comment. And E. Matthew Craig is on there. We've got... Do we get E.Matt Craig by himself or do we pair him up with Raj? Make him feel a little more comfortable? Or do we just like... No, we throw him in the deep end.

We are the deep end. What would we ask? Don't forget, during this flight cast, remind me, I have a surprise for you. Okay. but I want to wait until like later on in the show for retention. Now I'm not going to be able. Now my anxiety just fight. I'm not going to be able to focus.

You're not going to be able to focus? Well, we were just talking about it. You're 15 days into your 60 day, get rich and shredded campaign. Should we talk about that every week? Yeah. I mean,

I feel like people tune in. People tune in to hear you complain about things to hear me. A little update of what's, anything that's happening. Yeah. So, yeah, this is,

it's hard, how much weight have you lost? You were just telling me? Uh, a week ago, I had lost like three, I'd say three,

four pounds and then apparently I've gained two back. So I don't know if like, I'm just gaining muscle too quick. Yeah. Along with it. Because, I mean,

there is a little bit of that. I think I definitely look better. My, I feel like my T-shirt, shirts are fitting better. Like they're not as tidily. Not as tidily. Tittily. Your tits aren't idling.

Okay. Isn't that? So your tits just are poking out a little less. They look less chubby. That's where Zoom is from, right? Tidily, yeah. Yeah, that's where him and his fam are from. Okay. But it is, all right, so week one I weighed to, I started off probably, I'll say, 2.15.

I didn't have a scale at the time because I, I was like, I didn't even plan on, I planned on starting the series. So you're just, your eyeball in it? Well, I planned on starting the series, but I was like, man, I'm going to order a scale. And then like, when it gets here, I'm a start. But then it's just like, no, man, just fucking just grab the camera. I'm like, no, I'm waking up. I'm charging my camera.

And I'm waking up tomorrow and I'm starting this fucking shit. So I started it. I didn't have a scale. I would say I hadn't seen anything less than 215 for months. Okay. So, because I go to a doctor every week for my T or T shot. So I get my weight there. I've seen 215, 216, 217, 218 for the past four months.

Yeah. So I'm assuming, I'll just say I started at 215. A week went by, I weighed myself. I was about 212.6 or something. and then a few days later I weighed myself it was probably like 10 days in I weighed myself

and I was 2.09 or no I weighed myself I was like 210.4 I was like damn all right I'm getting down there then next day I was like 209.8

I was like fuck yeah I was like this shit's happening a few days later a few days or I've been and I've been weighing myself every day and then like the next day I wake up and it said like

211.6 and I'm like what the fuck like oh the scale must be broken yeah and then like damn i did drink a lot of water last night this morning or something and then or like yeah literally I was like no it's because I'm on the upstairs

floor I gotta take it downstairs yeah yeah because that's where I got my low weight took it downstairs way myself same shit didn't matter the floor and then the next day I was like 212.6 and then I woke up today and I'm like 212.4

and I was at 2.09 28 and I just don't. I just don't get it, man. I am walking a shit ton. I'm walking. In the morning, I'll walk to the gym, which is 20, 25 minutes. I'll do 35 minutes incline.

I'll do a sauna afterwards. I'll stretch. I'll walk 20, 25 minutes back. Later on in the, then I'll stream and do whatever. Later on in the evening, I'll do the same. I'll walk there, hit weights,

walk back. Like, I'm doing, I'm walking at least, I'm walking 10K steps a day on top of 35. minutes on an incline on the treadmill. So I'm thinking like I'm about to lose shit rapidly, but like it's, I feel like it's like spiking, almost spiking my appetite to where I am just a, I am eating super clean. I'm eating clean as fuck. I ain't using no butters.

I ain't using no oils. I'm eating just meat, just steak, just chicken, plain rice, just salt, pepper. So I'm like, I thought this shit was just going to like shred off. and like I would be satiated, I'd be full because I'm used to just pizza and junk and I thought all these clean foods would just fill me up because I can get so many more in without being super high calorie.

But it's just not, I don't know, I gotta have really started looking at my calories, I think, because I'm not, I, by this, so this morning I think I was 212.4, by this, and this is a Monday, by Thursday I was hoping to be 207. And I don't know if that's gonna happen. And you're 212?

And I'm 212.4. What you have to do is not eat for four days. I mean, I'm like, see, that's, that's why people say don't pay attention to the scale. Because you'll do shit like that just to hit a goal. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I definitely feel like I'm, like, tightening up a little bit. But it's, and I'm only on day 15. So I still, there's still a long way to go.

Are you getting some, like, high, like, intensity, like heart rate building or. I was, like, running when I was. When I was running, I was getting that. But besides that, no. But like now my hip fucking hurt. See, when I go to the gym, I feel like if I don't, if I, if I don't get like a, like a workout in that has my heart rate like like 150. I feel like I didn't really work out. And I think that's, that's like a, because I feel like when you lift weights and stuff, it's, it doesn't.

I don't know. I've always run It'll spike it But it's definitely not no like hit workouts Where you're like Yeah But like I'll do 10 slow reps with squats And by the time I'm done

I'm like Jesus fucking Christ I've been texting Brandon every day Like after after I get done working out And I was like I was like just so you know I'm catching up And I sent him my mild time And it was like 840

Or something like that This is like a couple weeks ago and he was like, I'm going to send you something and it might, it might either motivate you or make you want to quit. And I was like, all right. And he sent me this list. It was like a score sheet kind of thing of a race in North Carolina. Or no, not North Carolina on the East Coast.

And it's a race for the 100 mile run. And in fourth place, on the 100 mile run is a guy I went to high school with that was on the soccer team with me. And for a hundred miles, he ran an 1150 pace. For a hundred miles. Yeah, that's kind of... His time was 19 hours and 55 seconds. I do.

I don't understand... What? I don't understand if, like, not being active for so long. deteriorated my bones. But like, I'll run a mile. Like, when I was running every day, I would only run like a mile. A mile and a half, two miles max.

Yeah. And my legs would be killing me. Dude. Like, I would stretch the shit out of them. Phone roll them. They would just hurt. My hip would hurt. My knee would hurt.

I don't understand how people do that. I went and bought new shoes. I'm like, maybe it's the shoes. But I don't understand. how people, I mean, obviously you build up to it. And I think I definitely mess my body up, not moving for so long. Yeah. I don't know how people

do that. Dude, I... Well, first of all, the guy who came in first place named Lee Whitaker, he ran a 930 pace, 924 pace for 100 miles. That's just... 924. I think there comes a...

I mean, obviously you got to, like, build your way up to there. But there's Gotta come a point where it's like, you're don't, you're not tired. You're tired. But it's like, if there's a runner's high, they must have been like zooted for a hundred. I'll do, I ran like two miles the other day or the other week and my pace was probably nine, nine 30 or something. Yeah. And I was like, damn, I was kind of like, and I was like kind of pushing it, trying to like run a little faster.

That's a, but not a slow pace. Yeah. It doesn't, it. But to do that. For that long? Dude. Are you still trying to just get your one mile time down? Yeah.

I want to see where mine would be at. I haven't been running. Well, I did run a mile the other day, but I've been running like 5Ks and like four miles at a time. And yesterday I almost broke 30, 30 minute 5K, which I haven't done in a very long time. And dude, I was dead. I was dead. Like, actually, I took a video.

I want to show you the video. because I took the video for that I see the picture was on your Instagram I think Yeah and that was like 15 minutes after Look at my face I'm dead

That's dead Look at it Where are you A gem Wait I'm gonna say what gym But A gem

What gym is it I had a dude I was at the gym I posted once And a dude looked in He goes like this This was on like a Saturday afternoon or something.

It was two kids. They're carrying beers. Or, like, cases of beers. And they're like, I don't know, going back to their car or something. They look in. They're like, and I, like, can't hear them

because the doors are closed and shit, but they're like, and I was like, they were like, yeah, you, thumbs up. And I'm like,

too, they have to know who I was, right? Or are they like, are they like, sick neck tats, bro? Or fucking,

fucking neck tats. They're hammered. And they just see me and they're working out. They're like, good for you. I think they knew who I was. Yeah. They were, they were like pointing at me looking at it.

And then like they took again and they're like, Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's really the, it's really funny to think that they didn't know who you were and they were just drunk and like that you were working out. Yeah, probably.

What? Good for you, man. I had. Yeah. Yeah. What was I watching yesterday? And it was like, I think it was about these two people.

quit alcohol and like why they quit alcohol but I feel like the last few times I've been drinking I don't get that feeling anymore like the happy dude I haven't been happy from alcohol in a long time

yeah what is that getting older dude what about getting older I well first of all I feel like shit every time I drink yeah like not it's not like like after I feel good I feel like funny and

lose for like 10 minutes. Yeah. And then it's 24 hours of like hell. Yeah. So it's just not worth it. It's really not worth it in my opinion. I kind of feel the same. And it's almost, I feel like the more and more I've done it, the more I know what feeling

is going to come next, even for the next three days. I noticed last year when I would drink, I would drink on a Friday and I would like know I have a podcast Monday. and I'd be like, fuck. Really? Yeah. Three days. Because I would get hammered Friday.

Maybe go out and since it's a Saturday, be like, damn, I got a podcast Monday, let me chill out. Because like it would get my anxiety so bad. So it would like, now it's at a point I'm aware of that. And so I don't even just knowing that, it makes me not enjoy the alcohol. Makes sense to me. Like it's...

just tomorrow we have some shit we got to do and it's like if I was to go drink today it's like I wouldn't even be able to enjoy that because I know tomorrow I'm gonna wake up I'm gonna be anxious Hell we got shit to do to fucking tomorrow I had to move my tattoo appointment oh no

like here's the call sheet I was like whenever we ever had a time I'm like so I just chalked my whole afternoon and evening luckily I could just reschedule it yeah Oh, that one. What was I?

Oh, dude. So, uh, speaking of anxiety, I just tweeted, I tweeted a couple like, or I was gonna tweet you. I tweeted last night that like,

is, you know, it took two weeks off of, of streaming, which I've never done. And so I've been like, and also like, I've been super anxious just in general

over the last two weeks. Because my fucking asthma is back. Sorry. Um, and so I, I, tweeted TST Returns tomorrow after two weeks, and for some reason I'm like cripplingly anxious about it,

and I have been for a week. Nick sends me a screenshot this morning and said, just so you know I was going to tweet this back, and it reads, LMAO, anxious over video games, question mark, must be nice to get lucky your whole life. There's real problems going on in the world.

Not all of us can live in your dream world. Anyways, remind me what you do for Optic. Like the thing is I type that out Knowing I'm joking But it's like it's still hard to even type something like that out Yeah I mean Because I'm like what if Hitch is really in the mood for this No I was I mean

Or if like some other person would see that And then they would respond like ha ha good joke But the real question is why what do you do an optic Yeah right come at you I'm like dude And then they fucking come at me It's so funny That means

Luckily I haven't received Too much of that From what I've been doing lately No how's it been going I've been actually reading the comments and shit Yeah Just because you know it's like Peak

Yeah of positivity Yeah I'm sure soon it'll fucking Dude your first video back Bang It did so well That's how I mean it's just Basically it happened exactly

How I thought it would Like first video back Oh my God Second video back. Oh, shitty, I upload it again. Third video back. Okay. I guess he's uploading. Fourth video back. All right.

Just another upload. That's kind of where I'm at right now. I'm trying not to like... Get discouraged. I didn't remember. I texted you and I was like, anyone figure out like the YouTube algorithm yet? Anyone figure out how to get people to click on your videos? I still have to like look at that shit. But I'm trying not to like...

I'm trying to look at it like, even if I was to get 1K views for every video I put out, like, it's still a part of like this challenge. And then you can make the one video. And I'm going to do it regardless. Yeah. So it's just like regardless of how good. I'm trying to make the videos still pretty good. They're not exactly what I had in my head for like, like when I click on the trend

twinned or like other YouTube fitnessers, Bradley Martin, when I click on his videos, it's like, you know, boom, video starts up, nice, bright. They're in, like, L.A. It's super fucking perfect lighting. They have, like, B-roll of the city. So it's like, I must imagine. That's what mine was going to be. But it's just like, it's not on that.

It's not on that level yet. But I just, I'm just, I'm also not on that level yet. Like, it would almost seem a little, yeah. Yeah, I should just not. worry about stuff like that. One day it'll be on that level. One day it'll be my full-time shit to just make these videos great. But I also don't want to be like a video YouTuber but or a fitness YouTuber.

I still got a waste if I can go according to my weight. But I don't know if it's something I truly want to dive in and start worrying about videos and because even like recording those, it's like, oh, it's all day. of just like you're you don't even live the day you live the video of version of the day yeah so i just don't know if it's something i mean i still definitely i'm still going to be uploading i think tomorrow i might vlog for because we're going to do a few things and i don't know it's just something different to show the viewers just keep them along for this journey i don't know if i'm gonna actually truly become like a fitness YouTuber but it's kind of fun

being back. Sometimes, what sucked was my second, like, full workout video that I did with the dude with Lando. I was like, just that entire day and the day before that, I did not feel, or it was that day in the day after that, I just didn't feel good. It was not vloggy, happy, funny, like, how I, and it gave me, like, so much anxiety and stress over the video. It's like man this is my second fucking video and I wasn't

in the mood today. I didn't. I told Michelle I was like I didn't feel funny. She was like you didn't feel funny and I was laughing about it. I'm like this shouldn't ain't fucking funny. You don't know what we go through. Yeah yeah like I genuinely I didn't feel I didn't feel funny for the video and it was just like fucking with me

and I was just like in a weird mood but I mean like regardless it's got to get done it's still good though to like because I know people after this I want to do like some sort of online coaching and I think like having all these videos and just tagging people along for the process it'll it'll all work out and it's kind of fun seeing seeing like the feedback the comments people that I like haven't heard

from in a while hitting me up about it oh that's cool yeah and they're just you know a lot of people or I feel like I'm influencing a lot of people. As like, and like genuinely, like it's a lot of people that have reached out to me. Like the most random, like a random Fortnite kid would like hit me a fucking a few other people that you would just never would think would like DM me or something

or say something about it. But it's pretty cool. Like random people are seeing this shit and they're like trying to better themselves from it. That's good. So me up from here. And that's what you want. That's what I wanted.

Are you planning on doing any sort of like competition? Like, like work yourself towards like a goal in that sense? Like, what do you mean by competition? Like a bodybuilding show? Or a body like if an opportunity. A marathon. Like a, yeah, like a 5K or like say like a boxing match. Boxing, I don't know because like it's just, it takes so much time.

Maybe in the few. You see Andrea's workout? Crazy. Yeah. She seems pretty good. Four mile run straight into, like, boxing, and, like, her trainer has her, like, he's backpedaling up a hill,

and she has to, like, punch the bags, like, up the hill. Yeah. It's just, it looks hard. I'm not saying, I would like to do it, but it just, it's your entire sort of existence is that once you get into that. Yeah.

So that would just be a lot. That should be fun though. Literally, I'll move my arm a weird way. I'm fucking back. Or just like tighten up. I can't. I can't like I tried. I was running for like a month.

It's kind of pushing through the pain. Then I was like, all right, I'm officially injured. I need to stop this shit. My hips fucked up. And it's just like I can't like work out how they work out. I went whenever I started, whenever I was going to boxing classes like two years ago, like I twisted my knee or something. from like punch like because you like twist your shit

yeah yeah yeah punches and it's just like ah I felt like my knee was about a pop out of place so I don't know if my body's too messed up right now I'm getting it back in shape maybe uh I would be I would be down for what was it you fucking I don't know if you want to mention that the video don't make don't bring it out no

I might be down for something like that I would like if I can start running again I would like to do a marathon by the end of the year damn a marathon straight past half marathon straight past 5k so what a half marathon be like 12 point something 13.1 13.1

I'm fairly positive marathon's 26.2 yeah 26 say it again say it again just so you know what you said 26 26 miles 26 miles and then you have to go 2.2 more I'm talking like December

December 30 December 30 I was like Give myself But as long as there was like Like just Even if I can't like run the whole thing Just like I have to finish this

Yeah I mean I walk for fucking two days straight Or what But it'd be like a fun goal to Dude the little like marathon Half Marathon 5K like medals that you get For completing them Are super cool

How much is a 5K? 3.1. How is that a fucking anything? Yo, let's go to a 5K. 3.1 miles. People go to 5K events. You feel fucking good about that shit? How was that a goal?

I just ran a 5K and I was dead. And you felt so good. No, I felt bad because my time was 30 minutes and four seconds. Because I stopped and Alexis was beside me on the treadmill and she was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I can't. What was she doing it too? No, no, no. She had just gotten done working out. She was just walking. She's like, what are you trying to do? And I was like, I want to get under 30.

And I had half a mile left. And I was at like 28 or 29. She was like, you could still do it. Not half a mile. I had like 0.25. She was like, you could still do it. So then I cranked it. Because she said it. And I was like, ah. And then I saw, I saw it tick 30. And I went, ah. I was like fucking dying. I remember I did four months. miles years ago. And I think my time was like 44 minutes or something.

Really? Yeah. But I think a fucking, what was it? Three point? What was a 5K? I think it's 3.1. I'm almost positive. That's easy money.

I get a good medal for that. Yeah, you can get a medal for it. Let's do one. I'm super down to do a 5K. Like, I want to like organize one too. Like in like the next few weeks. I'm down. I'll go all out hurt my hip.

and everything. If there's one in the next few weeks, I'm down. I can do three miles. Because I've done two miles. That was like slight work. I just had to stretch for like an hour. My hip hurt. Yeah, let's do it.

And it ruined my workout. I'm super down. I'm super. Dude, I want to do, there's a run in North Carolina. It's a, it's a 5K. And you run halfway. It's called, Krispy cream run. You run halfway.

Then you eat donuts. Then you eat a box of donuts. Dude, that's sick. You can't run back until you finish the dozen. See, I could win that just by down in a dozen quick. So you run down the dozen and then you run back. So you puke back. Yeah. I mean, people puke every year. What kind of sick fucking event is that? Yeah. It's like everyone in North Carolina knows about the Krispy Kreme run.

Like almost everyone knows about it But I've always wanted to do it Because it sounds so psychotic But imagine that I mean imagine that video for For your like That's what I'm saying there's so many like little fitness Like

I wonder if there's something like that around here Oh for sure I bet you you could probably look at 5Ks Like a yoga class I want to do I think there's a 5K on a Disney cruise ship I could be lying but I just don't know if I have the budget for that.

Yeah, I don't either. But if it's like on that street somewhere, I can get Landau to come through and like run on the outside. It's in the grass on the parking lot. Like a free yoga class on the side. It's begging somewhere. Alexis and I went to Vegas for her 30th and there was a half marathon that night. It was really crazy because we went we went to the Belage.

So we're walking through like the hallways to the casinos and there's just a ton it was way colder than it normally is in Vegas. And so there was a ton of people walking around that had finished with their metal on and like shock blankets around them to like keep them warm. But like I was like a half marathon. I was like 13.1 miles. Oh, it was a half marathon. Half marathon or in the on the Vegas strip. So they like ran around Vegas. which I think is really cool,

like running around a place where like it's a cool like, like environment. I feel like that. I'd always want to do that. There's a couple of Disney runs I'd like to do. People go to Katie. Do you know what Katie Trail is up here?

Yeah, you told me about it. Yeah. The famous trail, like Hilton and I think Paige have been like walking or running on it. But it's, I don't get like it's,

it's not super crowded, but it's people there all the time. Yeah. And I just don't get running on a trail like that compared to just like running. around in the city. Like it's, it's so, I enjoy running around in the city more than I do. Really?

Really? It's just so much more like, like, yeah, I can see that. Stimulating and like, like, I haven't run outside in way too long. Like, I've been, like, the tread, run outside. A treadmill time compared to an outside time is so different. Well, I've run, and treadmill times are different. I think, I don't know if I, I think I was going to message you of, but it would have been

like shitting on your time or like you might have took it the wrong way but there is I think you showed like your mile time or like your mile average or whatever the fuck yeah and I've been on treadmills to where 2.2 miles per hour is like a decently fast walk but then I've also been on ones where like the same 3.4 miles per hour on a different treadmill is like the same feels the same fucking speed yeah and I've been on some treadmills where I'm put it on like six miles per hour six mile per hour and I'm like then I'll put it on a different treadmill and I have to go eight miles per hour to feel that I feel like I feel like treadmills are just like yeah no treadmill and plus like if you're

tired you can lean over on a treadmill and you can put your hands on the you can put yeah you can grab and lift yourself up heave of mine I wanted to like not talk about but just like it's a fucking pet peeve that's been up there is like I'll see people do like the stairmasters and they're like basically just holding themselves up. Or they'll do an incline walk and they're like holding the back of it and they're like basically just like barely pedaling their feet as hang on to the.

I'm like this is not the like you think like is the goal to actually get this done and get the benefits out of it or just to think you got this done and did the benefits out of it because you're like it's so much easier when you're just like holding yourselves up on the rails and just walking.

And occasionally I'll do that but. Oh dude. I'm trying to just bang out the real thing. I do it a lot. I mean, I don't do it on mile runs, but when I'm trying to do 5Ks, it's like,

like I'll hit a point and I'm like, just dying. And so I just like, hold it for a second. Or I like completely lean over. But like, I'm definitely giving my heart rate up. Like,

I mean, that video you just saw, there's sweat pouring off of my face. Like, it looked like someone that dunked me in water. One day, we could do a mile challenge. how fast we can run a mile

we could do that you think you'd be you what you'd probably beat me now I have no idea I feel like for a mile though I could like force I might injure myself but I could like really force myself I almost feel like with the right

training like I have a different mind now than when I was when I was fucking 15 doing a minute of five five and a half minute mile yeah like I feel like now I could force myself and like really

dude it's always I think I could beat that time of like five and a half minutes when right now no I was like no you can't and like if I train for it for like in like two months I'm telling you no I'm doing how is I doing that as a fucking kid because I'm outside

and stuff yeah because first of all you are probably 60 pounds lighter damn I fuck that is this is why I'm getting injured now because I'm 215 no you're not I'm just when you're a kid. Like, I probably broke my record.

I think in order to finish this goal that I have for myself, I'm going to have to lose a lot of weight. Like, I think I'm going to have to lose like 15 more pounds. What are you looking for? Water. I don't know if that on the trash can's mine. Yeah, I'm going to have to, I'm in the same boat.

I have to, wait, in order to do your what? In order to do this, like, challenge that I'm trying to do. That you don't want to talk about. No, no, no, the one where I'm breaking my mile time. I've talked about that one. Okay. I'm trying to break my mile time. And I have like a whole like video script idea like set for it.

So it's not just going to be hitch breaks his mile time. Everybody watch that. No one's going to watch that. But but like I will like I am that is the premise of of the part of the video. And so I need a producer. This shit's harder than it seems. To like make good videos. Yes.

It's very difficult. That's why I made my last vlog thinking that I was going to be uploading other shit, and I haven't even uploaded anything since my last vlog. And that makes me, I mean, I think about that every single day. Every single day. You haven't gotten a video out and you thought you would by now? Yeah, I thought I would. But there's one video idea that literally I have like 80% done.

And I just, the last part of it. Can you give a hint about it? I mean, yeah, I bought a bunch of random shit. shit on Fiverr. But like, I'm trying to make the video good. So, like, I have to, like, script it out and narrate it and all that. How do you script it out? Just go to Google.

Google Docs and write it out. Yeah. I mean, you should see my hundred, the hundred hours scripts are like, see, this is what I need to do, but I need, like. I think we should do this for the optic video. I need someone to, like, tell me what to do. It's almost like I, I sort of. have an idea.

Well, like, if you're trying to go fitness, like, it's a lot different. Because, like, fitness, I think, like, fitness YouTubers, like, like, they, they want you to watch them work out while also be able to have, like, a conversation. Like, I watched a little bit of, like, Cody, Cody Co's, like, training, like, his, like, training YouTube channel. And it's basically him, like, having conversations and, like, updating the, audience and like what he did in order to train but he's like training for an Iron Man or something

then I saw this one I can't remember her name I saw this one girl or this one lady who ran she did a challenge to run for 24 hour straight did I ever tell you about this I don't think she started in the desert

outside of Vegas and ran to Vegas and it was the craziest that'd be a good finish line it was the yeah she went up to escalator and shit her husband was recording her and was like you're cheating She's like, she's like dead. She's been running for 22 hours.

Yeah. I mean, that video was really, really good too. And so I feel like fitness, fitness YouTube. There's a guy, there's an Olympic athlete

who was now a YouTuber, and he does like challenge videos on like how to run, how to run miles differently. So he's run a mile in crocs. He's run a mile in flip-flops. He's run a mile on like pogo sticks. What the fuck?

Like different shit like that. Like, like, It's, it's, it's, YouTube is so weird because you have to basically, like, challenge videos are so, like, meta right now. So maybe think that way or, or, or, I'm just thinking for my documentary. I'm already worried about, like, I'm thinking in, like, a Mr. Beast way to where, like, I feel like the intro is going to, like, suck people in. It's like, I put on my act, you know, fucking, cry, sad. So it's like, I put on the act.

I make, I suck people in. like, damn, this guy's fucked up. Where's he gonna go from here? Okay. That's not Mr. Beast at all. Mr. Beast would be like, in this video... The point is, I captured the audience. Okay, okay, I get you, I get you.

And now, what did I do for the second part? The second part, I can't even really remember like what we have... I feel like I did do something. It was kind of like we got some workout footage. like it starts off and like I don't even really want to explain it too much but people will

fucking forget by the time the video comes out but like the first scene it's like it's dark it's blah blah blah then it progressively will get lighter and lighter like the workouts will be sort of dark and then they'll start getting more light and then I'm going to sit down for like the second week and talk about how I'm feeling then it's going to be in my apartment it's lighter I talk about how I'm feeling better blah blah blah I feel like boom that'll like get people like it make it'll make sense kind of like keep people sort of interested i'm like how is this going but now i'm like all right i need something like do i fake an injury do i go to the hospital like do i go to the like i need to bring i need to bring and i'm only starting week three

out of eight weeks and i'm just thinking like i need something like i need something different i can't just go to the gym and record and have these fucking clips so it's like what the fuck that's the craziest part about like vlogging it's like in in vlogging you just like you up you record what you did for the other day maybe you do like one or two things that are like I wouldn't have done that if I wasn't vlogging got a top golf with scump dog for for videos like I'll come up with an idea that would have been a banger idea in 2016 like I do I don't know like like say yeah say something say it's like I I do I do I do a

all these videos that I'm thinking over like videos I want to do but say it let's do the 100 mile thing I do 100 miles 100 mile challenge and it's like

people aren't gonna want to watch you run a hundred mile the click the click and the title or the thumbnail in the title used to that probably used to be enough in like 2017 or it's like hitch is not going to run

for 100 mile and if the video was me with a GoPro and every five miles I updated, people might have watched that in 2017. But nowadays, like, you got to be like, yeah, I'm running 100 miles. I did five miles on the way to this, and then I got a back massage and slept,

and then you're sleeping. And then I was like, oh, no, I have 95 more miles left to go. You have to almost do it. I started running, forgot my shoes, had to go back to a mile. Exactly. Like, you almost have to do that now. Like, you have to think of not only the premise of the video. Halfway through my ankle.

I'm injured. Doctors are checking it out. I'll be able to continue. Exactly. Like, that is literally, like, if you look,

if you watch a Mr. Beast video, it is fucking absurd what he does. Yeah. The premise of the video is an assassin tries to kill me. That is already insane. Yeah.

And then you watch the video and there's a tank that's running over a car and a house is getting blown up. And there's a high speed police chase or some shit. Yeah. And it's like, holy shit.

That's like kind of how I'm thinking. You have to do everything in your power to keep people from not clicking away. Yeah. It is crazy. That's why like I think the point I'm at right now is about five minutes in. And this is when people would start leaving. Right. No, dude, I think that.

So it's like I'm doing this. I need to fucking come up with something. I'm doing this Polaroid video too. And it's like. Logapal. Local Paul, Chickapaw? Chikapal, local pa. Dude, we used to do this video.

His video is pretty good. No, his video is really good. And it's funny because I started this Polaroid thing, and I didn't even know he did that. And then I was looking at Polaroid tips, and that video came up, and I was like, fuck. This video is on a gazillion. This video was a gazillion views. Like a selfie flicking off that video. But, like, the video is like, I take a.

Polaroid every day for 180 days straight But like at what point are people gonna be like I don't fucking like you have to You have to like do you have to like go Yeah I'm gonna have to do something some Exactly like do something for the for the video Which is the point and but like I don't know a lot a lot of it is like a lot of it is done in like have you ever seen Mark Rovers like the squirrel videos this videos where it's like squirrel Olympics

I'm very surprised Oh well there's like Mark Rober in the back of his He builds a bunch of like Like engineering things like wooden houses And like traps and like sets up like nuts and stuff So that squirrels have to do crazy things in order to get the nut What the fuck? And it's like

And it just basically shows like how incredible squirrels are As like creatures as like animals So he'll record his backyard he'll set up everything in his backyard and he'll record for like two months and then he has to take all the footage and then build the story so like that's always how I've thought about it is like as long as I'm doing it and as long as I'm recording I feel like I'm confident enough in my like editing and like story building abilities where I can like make a good make a good video so if you keep recording like you don't I don't think I feel like you

don't have to fake an injury or to make the video good. I want to do that. But like, you can build a story. And if you are ever watching your video back and you're like, damn, this part is kind of boring. Just cut it.

If it goes from a 10 minute video to now it's a 9 minute video, it's still better than it being longer and people are going to click off. That's how I usually see it. Unless it's super cinematic. Because, like, there are times where, like, like documentary series, like,

like the process. Like, they always do really well on our channel. And some of those, some of those are inherently going to be slower than a YouTube video because it's a documentary. So it's a, it's a weird thing with YouTube. YouTube is just a, like you can play the algorithm, but also the more you play the algorithm, the less authentic. I don't know if I want mine to be like authentic and documentary-ish. Right. But it's like, I am just doing the.

same shit for I've seen people do this and they do it all through like a minute TikTok video where they just show their their picture for 60 fucking different pictures flashing with like some music playing workouts in between and like that's their video but I mean if I if I could give you if I if I give you advice I guess is that what's not the best way to say it like I would start figuring out like collabs to do with people during the time So it's like, I'm two weeks in and I've been running twice or I've been walking twice a day and stuff. So I decided like, am I doing enough? I went to a Mayweather's, you know, there's a Mayweather boxing gym right here and ask somebody or like find a fitness influencer.

Somebody that'll like beat your ass. And then like that's at least like 25 more seconds of the video. And then it would also be funny because you're like, dude. Like, you know, like the comedic part of that. that would be, because you would be able to, like, shine in those moments. And then, and then, like, a week later, you turn around and you're like, so I wonder how I relate to the average person. So then you take, like, Emac Craig. You're like, so I took my friend Matt to their gym, and then you beat his ass. You know what I mean? Like, you can always do

something. That would be good. I'm thinking, or it's like, I'm thinking of a, I'm thinking of switching up today's leg day doing something a little different like clon or like do the stairs do the stairs of like

the tallest building in Dallas yes but like we somehow have to like make that good because it's not gonna be good just in a stairwell right well you that's the you would take a

it'd have to be like shots outside of it shots outside there'd have to be like lines of where I'm pointing even like like he's been doing this 30 minutes and he's only right here exactly right imagine like an after a of like actually like looking looking through like you're kind of like X-raying the building and like showing where you're at and then it would zoom into you with

your like GoPro and you're like you know what I mean it's like oh he's only I don't know if my editor can do that or the guy I'm working working with like he edited it's down to where it's kind of vloggy style yeah but I don't know if I don't know where for the for the main video I'm gonna tell him like hey man let's get some create that's Let's get some, think of some crazy ideas, write them down. Let's think of the reason we did it. Write it down. At the end, we can always, like, we'll break it down a little bit.

But, like, keep a bunch of stuff. Yeah. We can always send it to some crazy editor who make this 10 times fucking cool. That's what I'm saying. Like, if you have somebody that's like with your teen, like, how True and I work for TST videos is like, for our React videos, we have like a certain style of editing and a certain style of thumbnail. And then when we do like a big video. video like we'll get a we'll get we'll we'll like splurge on like a really nice thumbnail that like costs like a shit ton of money you know like 3D editors and like rendering and stuff and like like

our 100 hours of apex videos it's like it's like a rendered characters like and has like custom background and everything and so it costs like a hundred bucks for like a thumbnail yeah which is a lot crazier than what we used to do at scuff house yeah i'm making thumbnails on my phone I think I would ask you or like Aaron create to make me just like hey put this in the thumbnail size and then just like throw these letters on it and they just come out dark like fucking oh bro my all my thumbnails were made on my phone or they were made they were made in final cut and I like just put a screenshot of the vlog and then like put text on it and screenshot that part in final cut and like upload of that. Damn, it's getting a little hot in here, don't you think? No. You can't be fucking... Dude!

There's no way. What? How? How? What? Do you have that... Don't you think it's a little hot here? Dude.

Oh my God. How do you have that... What? Like, is this for a fucking video? What do you mean? I just thought it was a little toasting. first off how are you fitting in that i'm sucking in he is fucking i'm sucking in heavy right now hold up let's get it can we stand up and get a spin yeah yeah is this

you're gonna grab the camera win um yeah let me get this so what do i have to fucking tell us stories no it's just for we've already told the story multiple times on the fly got have we So Hitch is wearing a reality check jersey For anybody who's listening It's Suddeth one reality checkers It is Suddh one right First off How did you get that

So You know I can't remember This is the surprise I'm assuming This is the surprise Not just another T-shirt I can't

I'm blanking on his name And I feel really bad But there's a There's a guy who goes to all the Halo events and all the, you probably, you'll probably know who I'm talking about. He's an optic fan and a halo fan,

but he's like a diehard halo fan. He has like all the, like the, is it Mando or something? No, I don't think it's Mando. I think it's, I can't remember. God, I can't remember his name. He lives like around here too

because he goes to all the Dallas stuff. But he was at the doctor, he was at the doctor disrespect event. And he came up to me and he was like, he had just watched the flight cast with APG where we talked about, you guys get reality checked and he was like I have something for you and I was like what and he showed it to me and I was like this is the best this is the best thing that a fan is like ever

given me or like a person that supports us has ever given me and I was like Nick is gonna freak the fuck out dude that is fucking hilarious so yeah I got a reality check jersey this want to wear this has been sitting in my in my uh in my closet to casually start my stream today and wear it I don't think you can fit in this it's a medium I I'm sucking in heavy. Yeah, because they were tiny. Were they? See, I don't know if I've ever even met the Sunnis.

They are characters. But I'm just like a, I'm a reality trick fan. They are some, yeah, they are characters. Like, it's like those, think of how everyone in the Halo community knows the Sud Twins, but like their best placing is like maybe a top 16. That's awesome. Yeah.

That's something that doesn't exist. I mean, that hasn't existed in Cod since like, like Nihill I think I think Nihil like he he was a character but he never placed like him and his crew didn't place like super high but they were always fun to watch it open bracket scream he's the one that screams at people

yeah he was on like Howard Stern now he wasn't he wasn't on Howard Stern but Howard Stern like reacted to him I forget what the clip was it's like was inappropriate he started I don't remember what he said but he started screaming and then his voice cracked

to an absurd level wait I have to find I want to hear the it was like it was like a terectal took over his

body I can't believe so he just he had this plan to give you this jersey and then you just show up wearing it one day yep

god I wish I wish APG was here for that guy oh wait that shit's fucking legendary okay hold on

because someone says you know what the was that? Dude, I'm, I miss these days. Sorry,

sorry, I'm killing time. Just playing the mic. Blast Matt's ears off. You can't beat me next. There it is. There it is. There it is.

Not that's insane. What the fuck? Dude, Godkins are, I mean, I guess it. That was like eight years ago, though.

Halo is maybe kind of like that. But I feel like I've seen that a lot more for Cod. That is like you go to a Gears a war event. Yeah. What the fuck?

Motherfuck! You're all fucking trash! Oh, Gears was the best. Gears is next level. And it's crazy, Billy, then you just got Billy Mental

just dominating everyone. Just like, GDs. GDs, guys. I miss Billy Mental. You know he's a Ailo pro now. Oh, yeah, I did know that.

How's he doing? Um, all right? Top eight. Top six, maybe? Of the whole thing? Yeah. That's fucking...

He's on a good team. That's incredible. He's teaming with Ryanube. Really? Yeah. It's like Ryanube, brain, mental... And Karmia. This young...

Dude, has that ever happened? Someone goes pro in three e-sports? Yeah, I don't know if it has. That's crazy. I feel like more people should be talking about this. Yeah. I didn't even think about that. He was like the best...

He'd be like top eight and... Well, the best in one, then like top... He's the best player of all time in one. Or like... that's arguably the best player of all time in Gears War. He's considered that? Yeah, like him and explosive in like some like I think

summons. From what I remember like people were saying like he's the best ever in Gears and then he joins a CDL team did they win an event? No no Frosty won an event. Yeah it's crazy Frosty won an event

he was on mutineers. Yeah I won an event I was the dub. Yeah he did. If I'm the sub. You won. I won. That's what Mark was telling people. He was like, I'm teammates with scump.

It was a sub for the Huntsman. Exactly. I'm teammates with scum. Say what you want. Like, you're not teammates with scum. Talk shit to me and that's fine. I'm teammates with scum. That's what he used to say.

You see Mutineers, April Fool's tweet? Yeah. That's some good shit. I was streaming. And they were like, look at Florida's tweet. And it's April Fool's and I'm not thinking about that. But I'm like, what? the fuck I'm like why would they just tweet that that's so good I was like that is so random and then

I like kind of forgot about for like five stands I'm like oh oh now I get or like someone in my chat said some I'm like oh now it makes sense and I just like go to play along with it that's good to be hashtag bandos the mutineers were funny I mean it was like you know what I missed 20 20 I miss the pandemic dude no you know you do not. I kind of do. You say that now. No, if the pandemic hit me now, I would probably drive.

I would be depressed. Oh. Because I can't. I'm so, this is, I know, hard to believe to hear this, but I'm busy now. Like, I'm telling you, I wake up 7.7.30, 8.m. at the latest. I'm working out. my workouts are about my card to walk to the gym

to do the 35 minute card I don't know if I've like said this on this podcast of how well active I am and shit yeah you have an you gain three pounds baby you're active 25 minutes walk there 35 minute cardio sauna

stretching 25 minute walk back unbelievable that takes a damn that takes damn near two hours of my morning that's insane so that's a lot maybe content if needed stream I mean

Get done stream Go home Cook food Because I don't DoorDash So it's not just there No Cook food

We're cooking Sometimes go get food To cook food Oh okay Eat food These little things add up Digest food Right

Maybe watch a few TikToks A YouTube video But not six hours Of TikToks But not six hours Not anymore Usually I would get home

minutes. All right. Do I want pizza? Let me order enough to make sure I can eat for the next eight hours. Right. But now it's just like, all right, one meal. Not something too heavy. I got to go to the gym.

Yeah. Walk to the gym 25 minutes. Workout. Probably another hour. Maybe sauna. Probably not if I already did it in the morning. Walk back. It's another hour and a half hour.

That's another hour 40. Damn near another two hours. Eat cook food Damn Degest food How do you are you living And by the time shower And next thing I know it's 8 830

And I'm just like what the fuck I've been like gone I've been up and at it What a day Since 8 a.m And now it's 8 830 And it's like I'm just laying down What was the point of all of that?

Pandemic You can't do it And if I couldn't do that You can't do another one. If I couldn't do the pandemic. I'm a one pandemic. If a pandemic came back, I kind of do all that. Personally, me, I'm a one pandemic kind of guy.

So, like, I can't, like, if anybody out there was thinking about starting another pandemic, like, please don't, I can't do it. Like, I've done my one. I feel like I'm tapped. I can handle it. You could do one more? Not now. But in, like, 10 years.

Like another polio or something? Pandemic comes back. I don't have to work or do anything. So it's just... Hopefully you survive. Start playing Halo 3 again. I got you. Disappear for a year.

Well, you know, I think maybe now that you've done that once, we don't have to do that again. Because, like, you've already done it. I did get it all out. Right. I got all of that out my... You've got enough big team battles under your belt now. Dude, it was...

I think. The best of time... Plus, like, now... Now Halo 3 is... gone. It's like completely dead. Kind of sort of. No, it's... Tylenol still plays a little bit. That's fine. I'm happy for Tylenol. And there's probably a low community.

No, stop. No, no, no. No, there's not. They're done. They're done. I can't do that though. Yeah, they're done. It's crazy how much I'm like, waking up, not... It's crazy. I, like, spring out of bed now. Hell yeah. Like, I can't necessarily say I hate the most. mornings. I wake up and there's so much on my mind and like sort of, I guess it's like good stress, but obviously it's like, fuck, I got to do this again. I got to go, kind of go get the cardio out of the way. Do I want to get the weights out of the way? But then I got to do it. Then I got to do the five guys. Then I got to stream afterwards. Yeah. And it's like, so it's kind of stressful just

knowing stuff's on your day, but it's also not stressful knowing stuff on your day because you know what you're going to do for the day. And so I'm like, I'll wake up 7.38. I know I'm not falling back asleep because so much shit's on my mind I just get up take a shower sometimes

do the cardio and just actually have shit to do during my day and my mental is just like way

my mental is way better but it's such a slow process that like I got to remember like just like three months ago I was really not enjoying

like anything. thing. Yeah. Like coming in here, I was, I would fucking dread coming in here. I was not streaming,

was sort of, maybe enjoyable, but I was like, only working out sometimes, but it was just like, there was no, I was never at peace. Like,

I never felt like I could lay down and just enjoy it. And now when I get home and I lay down, I feel like I'm like, so how do you balance the, just feels better. How did you balance yesterday?

Is like, did you watch party yesterday? Just for a little bit. Oh, just for a little bit. Okay. like I had to go get my gym closed at a certain time and I plan on going there but I didn't even end up going there

but like there was just like I just had stuff I needed to just get done I wasn't trying to and it was just an online tournament Optic played their first match didn't play again for like five hours later and it's just like I don't really give a five it's a fucking it's a four thousand dollar online tournament so it's like I don't really care formal it had his stream on loose it had his stream on So I'm like, I'm not sitting here with 2K viewers. Like I would like an event watch party. Oh, okay, okay.

Shotsie watched it and he had 17,000. Well, that was also the final. But I was, I was watching the. Yeah, that's what I was wondering if you watched up to the finals. Yeah, I was watching the beginning. Okay. I was like, dude, there's so many boring. They're not boring.

Not like boring matches, but like I kind of just wanted to see the optic matches for this. For a real Halo event, like I want to see like how Gilki places, how Scurstein. doing. How's, but like for this 4K online tournament. I didn't know what teams were even playing yesterday.

So I just didn't care as much. So there's no BTAH anymore? No, they broke up. They all went their separate ways. Which is like, my team was like, maniac invest into a team, man, would love to see them, would love to see a team you can invest into.

Who? What if you came with like a R.C.X. You've been working with the Suds and they want to buy out VTH or something. and you come with me to like for like with like a crazy like they'll buy out for like 1.5 mil

listen bro I've got this deal on the table and you can't really pass it up TSTX reality check XBTH sponsored by warheads $1.2 million deal I'm telling you we get Monsker

I do it Mosker I'll be down team captain we poach frosty from Faze phase down is what I say and

so Monsker Frosty do both SUDs still play I mean maybe casually the Suds are managers steal formal No one would ever play if they're managers Floptic is what I say

We still So Frosty formal Mosker And Well An APG No, we can't steal two from one team. Lethal.

Yeah. Lethal Mosker. Frosty. Formal. What do they place? Top one. Top one. On land.

And then... On land. And then... Mosker stands up and say, you just got reality checked. To fucking... To bound. I think... This is a 1.2 million.

an ideal? What was I going to say? What? I like where this is headed. There was something I wanted to say, but then I forgot it was something about BTH. Oh, someone was like, Maniac, why don't you sponsor a BTH team? I'm like, number one, I don't got that money.

Yeah, let's think about this. Number two, even if I did have that money, a couple thousand for hotel and flights. Ooh. A couple hundred. for jerseys and hoodies maybe a t-shirt. Yep.

They go to the event. They get top 12. They leave the event. They break up. Yep. What did I get? Nothing. Nothing.

Not a goddamn thing. And you have just taken the e-sports model and just like put it down here and magnified it. See, if there was like... That's exactly what you just did. I mean, there is some like... You did that without paying salary. Think about that.

I did give them a hoodie in a jersey. I thought you were to say you paid salaries and I was about to freak out. I was going to raise like a community fundraiser and be like whatever they get, I'll let you all split. Kind of just sort of forgot. I was like, I was like busy. I think I didn't like stream for like two days. And then I forgot. And then it was the event.

they were leaving for the event in two days. Halo is still in the glory date. There are none of these like, like you can't do this in con. But yes, I would love to see Optic versus BTAH at an event. They're playing for like top six

and winners or something. But it's just I can't out of my own fucking weak stingy pockets. You can't do it. I can't do it. But TSTBTH reality check.

I mean, if you all want to throw in some fun. If y'all, if y'all, if y'all, if y'all want to throw in some fun. Three of the infinity stones. I'll put up 500. I'll put up 500,000? $500,000. If you've got 500,000, then we'll at least put up $100. And then warheads will fund the rest.

I'll put up 500. You, Blake and George put up 1,500 total. You can make a video out of it. You can make a thumbnail. We're not the. Halo kids. You're the Halo kids. So you 1500, Blake George and I. Suds 200 each. 250,000. Then Warheads. Warheads. A thousand. That'll give us about 4K to work with the salary,

salary a team. Yeah. So we can salary a team for one and a half months. And then, until, and then they break up. And then they break up. And then we got to do this all over again. Yeah. After getting like top 12. I was hoping for better, man. But it's hard being an esports owner Esports org owner owner. I can't even starting off

dude I don't even know how they start off like you need an investor unless you just got money and you're doing it for fun I think there are some teams that like they're kind of doing that like native gaming native red
