Oh, man, bro. What, man, what? Nothing. You depressed? Nope. If you were, would you tell me? Nope. What's wrong with you?

Unless it got like really bad, then I'd probably say something. Why does no one ever want to talk about it? Because I feel like a burden to all my close friends. It makes me feel better. To hear that someone else is depressed? Yeah. Well, too bad. because I'm not.

Welcome back to the episode of the flag cast. Who really cares. He gives a fudge. Who really cares? We have an amazing one today, man. A lot's been going. A lot of stuff's been going.

We got to break down, probably, we have a huge breakdown of the Packers Cowboys game. Yeah. That we've been talking about. I don't think they should have run the triple.

The tush push. Yeah, the trips right. Touch push is, man. I formation fullback. What happened to fullbacks? I remember growing up, fullbacks had a name. Like, is that? I was a fullback.

That was my position. I was a fullback for a little bit. Were you really? I was a fullback, an outside linebacker, and a, who lines? Is it a tight, tight end? Tight end. But on defense. Defensive end?

Defensive end. And maybe even a tight end. You thought you were Julius Pepper's type shit? I don't fucking know. why they had me on that shit. Like, I should have been running back. I, every fucking team I was on had some fucking coaches favorite little fuck who like got to be the quarterback and the quarterback just got to run the ball all the time.

And then since I was slightly bigger than the running back, I had to be the fullback, but I'm better than the running back. Dude, I was the same way. And then they put me a quarterback and I was like, oh, and then I had a good year at quarterback. And then I had to choose between soccer and football. And I chose soccer. and if I didn't, I'd probably be on the fucking Titans right now.

Damn, you were on quarter, you were a quarterback? Yeah, I was. Yeah, no, I never. But I didn't, I wasn't. I've never had, like, a good arm. I didn't play, like, a full year. I played, like, I was, like, the second string little kid. And so they didn't even have, like, plays for me.

It was like, uh, I mean, I was like, pee-wee at that little league. I don't know what it was. Mine was, like, first year of middle school. Yeah. I was like sixth grade or something. And then it, then I started six. What the fuck? We're too old for that.

I fucking love it. Let's fucking go. We're still ahead above 20K. That's crazy to think about that 20K people are still watching this stuff. Especially when episodes where it's just us. It's just us. But then there's some, I feel like a lot of our episodes are fucking... Guys, we need somebody out there to supercut every episode and send it to me.

I will pay you in smooches. What super cut mean? Like, I, can you pull up? Oh shit, I don't even know how I would find it. On my Twitter.

On my Twitter, Riley. Bro typed in Supercutt. And then I can't remember. Yeah, and it would have to, it would be like the fly emoji. This is how you search?

It would have to be the fly emoji. Yeah. Because that's how I tweeted it. Or maybe you could just scroll down on my stuff. Or go to videos and just scroll down. Okay, okay, okay. In other news, the goddamn Libby's took our jobs. What?

Oh, you've been dabbling more into politics? No, I just, I don't know. After everyone was so happy last time? Yeah. We're going to go back and review some of, uh... Riley, just scroll down my Twitter, man. comments. I don't know what the fuck of what is from hitcher ride is that actually how you search shit that from from maniac mate from hitcher ride and then six seven no maniac wait what was that

Just go to like videos and scroll it down Or yeah media What the hell are we looking for? Media And then One eternity Laydown That

That Can somebody, yeah, we can hear it? Can somebody make one of these for every Flycast episode, please. I will pay you. No scenery, no dog, no 100 T, no bitches. No murk. No fucking bitches.

None. At all. I'm fucking tired of these bitches too. Zero females. I'm tired of these bitches. Anywhere close to me. And maybe just me, actually. I feel like you,

I said it as a joke and then you, You like kind of ran with it. No, I just, no, I was joking. Oh, you're joking? Yeah, I was, I was joking about that. You know what's really bad? Like, stuff like this. Yeah.

Because there's so many moments in the flight cast, especially for the flycasts that are just Nick and I. So many viral moments. What about viral moments? Right there, I said the swastika was bad and you go, why? Like, all right. All right, you can cut it. You can cut it off, right?

But I need somebody that can do that. Please. Yeah, we do actually need that. There's so many people out there that watch, like, that watch, or not so many, the 20, what, 20,000 people. Yeah. That watch the, they'd appreciate it. Because there is a, I mean, it's a fucking podcast. There's going to be a, there's a reason why every single podcast has clips, reels.

That's very true. Because. Except for the optic pods. Throughout a whole podcast, it's, except for the optic pods. Because throughout a whole podcast, it's like, you know, a lot of it's just, I don't want to say boring, but it's just, you know, there's highs and lows. and some funny moments. Yeah. So you just,

you want to get those moments out. So people are like, oh, what's this? They do a pod? Who are these guys? Yeah. Fucking, the video I made yesterday,

maybe Riley, if you can find it real quick, we'll just play like a second. But I made, or I uploaded a video yesterday. It was a little, I completely, someone on TikTok was like,

damn, you copied Daltouche. You did kind of copy Daltooch. copy dot too well i responded and said i didn't copy i stole his whole fucking i stole everything about his shit i love the dig in the butt right immediately that's like a tic-tok trend right now people will be like selling something but like they'll dig in their ass and smell it so then people will comment and like right yeah yeah yeah yeah if you see someone digging in their ass and sniffing it in the first two seconds you're gonna see you're gonna stay that's how you're said this popped off on uh instagram that's why that very first like that very first hook why is bo's

facetiming me do i answer yeah answer ask me he's left or right yo i'm on the flycast right now quick question though are you left or right fucking box with a switch all right i'll talk to you later bro his face while saying that was like but yeah this was just like a day in the life completely copied doll tosh i have no shame in saying that i even um so i recorded this or i recorded all the footage downloaded cap cut went to edit it i was like this is gonna be kind of fucking long tushes are

all like a minute 30ish something like that mine came out to i i was chopping shit and cutting it down Came out to six minutes. Holy shit. This is the same shit that would happen with my vlog. It is the same shit. Like my vlogs, I would chop shit down and it'd be like 26 minutes. And I'm like, fuck. Well, how do I make this like 15 minutes for like a vlog?

But yeah, it came out to like six minutes. I sent it to Toosh. And he was like, nah, bro, this is way too long. Like, people aren't going to watch this. And I was like, you are right. I don't know what just came up. I was like, you are right. That was the six minute version or this one?

The six minute. I sent him the six minute version. What's fucking double, double this somehow. Yeah. And he was like, we're getting feedback, Riley.

He was like, he was like, nah, bro, that's, that's too long. Like, you gotta start cutting shit.

And I was like, I don't know what the fuck to cut. He was like, you gotta get it down to like two minutes. I was like, the gym part was two minutes long on my other one. Yeah, yeah.

And then I sent it to Hex. And Hex texted back like 10 minutes later. He watched it. And he was, he was like, Not bad, but it drags on. I completely skip the whole workout part. And I was like, fuck.

Yeah. And then I was like, see, this is why I don't do it. I'm not even going to fucking upload this shit. And like almost, I was almost like, see, fuck this shit. Yeah. It's like if I try to make a vlog and then my fucking camera battery dies and then I, but I fucking put in a new battery, go to export it. Some of the footage is fucked up.

Like that and I just like, see, fuck this shit. It's like, what am I even going to do? Yeah. But I mustered up the courage to go back in the cap cut. And I was like, all right, let me see what I can do. There are some UIS clips, started cutting little clips, shortening other shit. And then somehow, some way got it down to three minutes. And then just did a one take fucking talk over it.

And I still thought it was, I sent it to Tush again. I sent it to Hax. And he was like, yeah, this is the one. And then I sent it to Tush. he was like it's still a little long but I don't know fuck it or something like that so uploaded this

and it ended up doing really well it had it's almost had like I mean reels and shit it's like fake views but it's almost had like 90K views in the first day which it's like I'm not trying to compare that to fucking YouTube

or something it's definitely a lot different like I hope TikTok motherfuckers don't think like they're 100K views or their followers is same as like subscribers on YouTube reviews. I don't know why I feel the need to just explain that. What's just even my...

Coming for someone who hasn't uploaded in three years. I'm sick of motherfuckers. Like, I just hope motherfuckers on TikTok don't think they're on the same level. And I'm not comparing it to me. I'm just saying like, I just hope they don't think they're on the same level as like real creators on fucking YouTube and shit. But anyways, I forget what I was even talking about. uploaded this, it's at like, I think like 90K plus views. Fuck yeah.

76% of it is from non-followers. I have gotten more followers off this one real than the past, since my pick was Selena. Really? Yeah. Like, and I guess, and I was, I always felt like I was uploading on my stories and shit. Yeah. And I wouldn't say providing content, but like, I don't know.

I felt like it was if you fucked with me and you went through my, like, I was, putting something out there but it was doing nothing. Like I've done nothing but like lose followers. Yeah. So yeah, I guess you actually have to like

upload content and shit and maybe followers would come new people will see you. Yeah, that's nuts. It's an insane concept that you have to upload content in order to like grow. Grow and shit.

Yeah, to like grow your brand. But this went really well. I planned on going to the Texas Fair today with Bose. But of course the fucking baby. data comes out. I wanted to do like a bro, just like boom, start the video, I'm at the Texas Fair.

Go around a little bit, try a bunch of food, rate it. And then that would have been this video. And I think that would have popped because the Texas Fair just fucking started out. And I'd be scrolling and I see Texas Fair reviews. Like I think it would have done really well. And it would have, especially for like the Dallas area. I saw a lot of like local people being liking my real or new followers or something it's like I'll go to the fair this weekend if you want to go but I'm sure I have the HALO event Friday Saturday and Sunday

I'm sure it's gonna fucking slam dude actually yeah I don't want to go on the weekend I would rather go on like a fucking Tuesday at 11 a.m. The fair's kind of nice here it's not as good as people are saying it turned ghetto who is people Well, I heard there was like, I mean, maybe this was years ago, but like shootings and like, but it was also, I think a lot of younger kids were getting like tickets for free from school or something.

So I think that was a part of it as well. Alexis and I went last year. But it's probably just weekends. Alexis and I went last year. It was really fun. It was fun. I wouldn't say really fun. I went six years ago, I think.

I think that might have been the last time I went Really? Vietnamese crunch dog Wagyu bacon cheese See like I want to try all these So when British people see this Do they freak out? I don't let me let me text true

Or let me face them true But like freak out I mean but like this kind of stuff You know it's like weird Right but do that But does it even exist over there Like does something Does like a fair exist in fucking in the UK

Hey, can you come to the flycast set for like two minutes? Sure. All right, Mom. See you soon. Sure. X-OX-O. All right, we're going to get a live reaction from an actual Brit coming in. About some of these foods?

Yeah, coming in hot. See, I really, really want to fucking go. I want to go today. I have no one to fucking go with. You already asked James? I mean, we could go this evening, I guess. I thought that's where you wanted to go. All right.

I want to go this afternoon. We need your, as a British person, we need your opinion on something. Yeah, you can come on camera. You don't have to. No, no, no. You can just look at the, look at, okay, can you scroll down? So these are the foods at the Texas State Fair. Is this weird to you?

Does anything like this exist over there? Texas toast a la mode? Does this get your tummy rumbling? Deep fried butter? Deep fried butter.

Deep fried butter. Deep fried Coca-Cola. Deep fried Oreos. Yeah, and true is saying that's insane. Okay. You have deep fried beans, toast and beans. Deep fried eggs, deep fried sausage. Deep fried flappy bacon. I like that bacon.

I like British breakfast more than... More than what? American breakfasts. You're a fucking nutcase. Yeah, even Truce at our bacon's... Sausages are way better. Fuck yeah. I even like their bacon.

British bacon. That is not bacon. That's ham. That middle pick up there? Look at that. That shit's fucking good. I like it. You're fucking nuts.

Perfect sausage. Great. bacon ham yeah we're mission your hash browns clear ours yeah give me the chunky hash browns too I mean this is great too I love I love a good breakfast

this is great but like I mean that's just so much better that's just so much better I mean it's basically if the English breakfast instead of beans I mean and I'll even take a few beans but instead of like the mushroom tomato shit

throw in the hash browns I will take that over this there's sausages are so much better you're just the pancakes okay okay so the perfect breakfast is you take away the tomato and the mushrooms and you put a pancake all right that's what but do you keep the beans yeah you absolutely absolutely keep the beans

you put You put beans on the pancake? What? They're insane. They're insane. All right, man. Good luck. I'll let you leave on that note.

Put the beans on the pancakes. Put the beans on the pancakes. Why not? It's good beans, isn't it? It's good beans. It just depends, man. It's not, yeah, it ain't like every fucking American breakfast actually look, tastes like how that looks.

What got us into this? We were talking about the fair food So are you asking James to go or no If he, I mean if he wants to go this evening I guess I'm down I'm gonna try to I want to go during the day I feel like going at night Would be a better

Visual though For sure it definitely would be And that might matter Oh that beeria ramen bowl looks so good What the fuck What you're like Hawk this is gonna chalk me Yep

Oh well I get six pounds Since leaving on Thursday Six pounds Just eating what Just I thought you were locked again I've been pretty locked Last night I ate a little too much

I was locked. I was actually like really locked. And then I went to a wedding straight from the wedding to Codnext. And so like when you're traveling, it's like pro. And I like couldn't work out because I didn't have enough clothes. And I didn't want to put my stinky fucking running clothes in. But Cole told me, Cole told me he can get me into the New York Marathon next year.

So. Yeah, we're, we're going to be there. Yep. Because he told me the same thing. just like if you want I can get you in I was like ah I did a fucking five and a half mile I ran started in my apartment

ran two miles and then fucking did some whole and then just walked the rest of the time and basically did just some huge loop and at the end it was five and a half miles I mean it was like damn near 16 mile pace

because I was walking first two walked the rest but then even afterwards I was like fuck my shit I can feel my ankle, my knee started to do a little something. Oh, it's, bro. It just reminded me of the, what it's actually like to now do that every single day or like five days a week or four days a week. Do that plus a lot. Like you got to think like Tudj has been working out like, like train, not working out.

He's been training, training for this marathon. And like even sometimes he's like, ah, shit day today. And it's like seven miles at a 9.30 pace. He's just like shit day today. Yeah. And like he's been training for it. Like fuck, bro. He did a, um, he was supposed to do 16 miles, but he ran 14.

And he was like, I'm fucking pissed. Like I, I'm supposed to do 16 miles today, but I got back to my car at 14. And then I just refused to run the other two. He's like, I'm fucking pissed. I'm like, bro, that's fucking. First off, I understand I would be pissed. Yeah, I would never let that happen. I'd finish them 16.

Yeah. But. Sure you will. would. Yeah, it's crazy. He's just even at four, just like a training session is 14 miles right now. I think I was, I think one, like back in the day, I don't know, I don't know when this was,

but I think I was watching like, uh, Cody Coe used to do these like running vlogs. And I would watch those a lot. And he did, he did one, he was like, I'm just going to Austin just to hang out with some people. And I'm going to train there. And he trained with Ryan Trahan, the, the YouTuber. And Ryan

Trahan doesn't often talk about running. He like, but every once in a while I'd be like, yeah, I went for a little run today before I did all this other shit. That's the actual video. So you don't really know like how fast he is. Like you just kind of like. And then Ryan, Ryan and his friend were running and they were like, are you good with this pace to Cody Co?

And he was like, uh, and they, dude, they were going like 645 pace for like, for like five miles. just like just like casually like running downtown Austin and I was like dude these guys are like there's so many people out there that run don't talk about Austin yeah they just run and they're freaks they're real they're real runners yeah not doing it like me to try to like because when I start you know my shit I'm posting it you you're gonna if I'm running you're gonna know I fucking ran I know and if I'm improving you're gonna see that I'm improving but it is uh once you stop for a little bit you fucking lose it you can get it back pretty quick if you like if you just go a month of running three to five times a week like you'll get it by

the end of that month you're like all right i'm back yeah like i'm back right um but it's just it's so hard to start again because every when you stop and you start once you start getting into running and you get better by like mile two it's like all right i'm warmed up now now we're like do well let's go four miles and your pacing increases but once you fucking restart like you start enjoying your runs

once you restart every run just fucking sucks shit hurts randomly your recovery shit like it's just it's it's just so you can't breathe in Texas it's horrible yeah with the with the humidity

and shit but now that it's now that it's cooling down a bit I think I'm gonna I think every day I don't have every day I don't have to come to Friscoe. I think I'm going to wake up and start my morning with some kind of cardio. At least just like run a mile and like just have to walk back. Right. Yeah. Like I'm just going to run away from my apartment.

And then force yourself to walk back. And then force myself to walk back. Yeah, yeah. I think that's that's probably try to do three, start at three times a week because I'm still going to be lifting four to five times a week. times a week. But yeah, it would be nice to get back into running. Yeah. I've been eaten cleaner.

Haven't drank in like three weeks. I had so many drinks this past weekend. Really? I don't. And I told myself, it was one of those things were like, I went to the bar to like meet up with everybody. And so we were for the wedding. And so we were like drinking.

Oh, you're at a wedding. Yeah. We were like drinking at the bar. And dude, Jack was like, you want something to, you want something? him to drink and I was like sure I'll take whatever you get so he got two Moscow to Moscow mules the this is at this is at the W in Hollywood we got two Moscow mules when he got the receipt it was $85 $85 for two drinks was that at the hotel or like a wedding thing at the hotel it was it was just a hotel bar and so he was like dude this is 85 bucks and I was like what the fuck and I was like

You want me to? He was like, no, I got it. And I was like, all right. But. I love doing that to, like, rich people. But, and that was my, and that was my last drink, my third drink. And then we looked at it. Every drink was like a double.

And that, like, they came, they came out. Probably like $38 each. You would have to ask for a single. So I didn't realize that. And so that was my third drink. Bro, when I got back to the hotel, I was like, what? Like a. I was like almost spinning.

And I didn't even notice it because I thought I was just drinking three regular drinks. That gets me excited just thinking about it. You have problems. That gets me excited just like. And then I was like, all right, I got to go. I got tomorrow's the wedding. And then I have to go to Codnex early in the morning. And then like I'm going to try to lock in for Codnex.

And I was like, I'm not going to drink. I'm not going to drink anymore. At the wedding. Then I got to the wedding. And then I had like three drinks. And I was like, dude. Was it like I want more, but I can't? Yeah, I actually did stop eventually because, like, I, for the reception, like, I had a drink for the reception, for the reception, for the reception I had a drink, but I knew I had to leave early.

So I just kind of like Irish out, Irish goodbye out. I love that. That was great. I told, I told everyone I was like, all right, I'm going to the bathroom. I'll see you when I get back. And everybody was like, what does that mean? I'm like, no, I'm just going to go to the bathroom. I'll see you when I get back.

Dabbing people up. And they were like, I'm not going to see you anymore. am I. I'm like, dude, I'm going to be right back. That's the only way. I mean, how else do you fucking exit? Like, I'm not that important to let everyone know. I'm not. Hey, guys. I'm going to be leaving this premise. I know a lot of y'all will be affected by this. Hey, everybody at this wedding that has nothing to do with me. I'm leaving. Yeah. And I want you guys to all say bye to me. Yeah, like, what else are you supposed to do? I feel like I always Irish exit

Like every time we're at Scumps Place Yeah Like me and Boe A lot of times me and Bose We either like go down together Or get an Uber together Or drive together And we'll look at each other

Like All right how are we doing this Dude I have issues bro It's like every time I'm in a place That's like Some sort of like mixer Or party environment From the moment I walk in

I'm thinking How long do I have to be here? It's bad I don't know why I think that way but I think that way all the time and I and I don't know if it's like I'm it's not like I'm not having fun it's like

like am like should I be here like do people want me here? I uh I mean I feel like that as well I don't know when it's something like if it's an optic thing yeah like I feel like I'm just drink however much I want

and I just I don't really care yeah and I'll leave when I want There's not much thought behind it. But if it's like, for instance, this girl I know her birthday parties next weekend, and I don't fuck. I know one of her other friends that like I've talked to two or three times.

Like if just because from being around each other. And like besides that, like she came to my birthday and now like her birthdays next weekend. But it's going to be like probably a bunch of people. It's at some, I think some bar or something. But she invited me to that. and I'm already thinking

like fuck how like it's her birth she's gonna be surround like it's not like I'm going to hang out with her right I'm gonna go I'm gonna see her

hey how you doing happy birthday and then it's like all right I'm on my own now and then I would be out I would be out what do I

I saw her yesterday and I was like hey I saw your like birthday invite or your birthday invitation things and then we just like talked about

at first time I was like would I be able to like bring a friend or something she was like yeah so I might

might try to bring James or something. It's going to fuck up my not drinking drinking streak though. Why don't you just don't, why don't you just not drink? I can't. I can't show up to some fucking social event, not drinking where everyone's fucking hammered.

So can't do that, but yeah, I'm already thinking about that situation of, I mean, usually if I'm in that kind of situation, I just start drinking. Either that or maybe I can show up. That's what I can stay. Yeah, that's like, when I can stay. But if I'm not doing that, I can stay, but if not, I'm in my head. I'm in my head like an absurd.

Like, if people... Like, just standing there with a drink. Dog, if people could read my mind when I'm in situations like that, they'd be like, what the fuck is wrong with you? I'm looking around like... Just looking at your phone and shit. I'm looking at other people that aren't talking to people and I'm like, okay, I'm not the only one.

It's fucking insane. I like won't see anyone. I'm like, I'm the only fucking loser. I'm in like a circle and then like, Like somebody to the left is trying to hear the person across for me. So they lean in and then they box me out of the circle. And then I'm like, all right. So.

Yeah. And then at that point, my brain is just like, go home. Or you ever in a circle and you have nothing to say in this circle? And it's just like, it's like a six man circle. But like these three or four kind of talking to each other. Yeah. And you have nothing to. Or like you're talking to someone and someone else catches their eye.

And so you're just talking to no one. Oh, yeah. You know what I mean? So I'm like, yeah, well, it's actually. going pretty well. And then the person I'm talking to, it gets like tapped on the shoulder. And then so they look around and I'm like, and then it's, and so. And then they start talking and you're like, wait, is this going to be like a five seconds? It's like, oh shit, what's up, man? How you doing, bro? Hey, good to see you. Like, I'll catch, I'll see you in a minute. And then they go back to you.

Yeah, yeah. So then sometimes they're just, they're just, you're waiting for that. And then sometimes you're just like, uh, and then they just, there are new combos. And so now you got this group over here talking in this group and it's not like people do it on purpose I probably do it to people all the time just because I can't hear in that environment I can't either. People are like you're how are things? Bro, something's going on with my hearing too

there's this guy that works in my front desk and I swear I don't understand he's speaking English. Yeah, yeah. I don't understand like he's an American speaking English but like there's something

about it. Like he works late night. So like sometimes, and I used to think it was because I was high. Yeah. I would smoke, come down to get my food. And then like I just seemed up like, what's up, man? And I would just like, dude. And I'm like, I don't know what he said. It's like, it's like the decibel. All right, man, have a good night. And I'm like, what the fuck? I think it's the decibel. I can't ever understand this guy. It's like the tone that some people talk in. Bowes is that way for me. Like, sometimes I can't understand Bose. And this weekend I actually hung out a lot. was Semp and dog I felt so bad because like I think I hung out with Simp for like three hours

and I probably said what's up to him like five times just because like the tone that he talks in is like low he's like a low talker and like so I'm trying to listen and like there's fucking casino rumble that's going on and so I'm like I'm like what what and I felt bad because I kept being like what what are you saying but uh there's just so it's just some people that it's just the tone of what some people talk. It's hard to like fucking listen. Yeah. This guy walking, when I was doing my run, walk, this dude walked past me at the end.

It was like, oh, your tattoos. And then like, I was just like, and then like walk past, he walks this way, I'm like, hey, wait, thank you. I was like, in my head, I'm like, did he, what the fuck? Did he say what's up? That's so real. Wait, I think he said out, he liked my tattoos.

And then you're like, you're like, you're like, you're welcome. You put the pieces in your head. You're like, okay, I think I heard tattoos. What did he say? As I'm walking ways. Then I like literally had to completely turn around. Hey, thank you, man.

That happened so many times this best. Especially if you're drinking. Yeah. I feel like when you're drinking, it gets worse. If I'm in a club with motherfuckers, excuse me. I can't fucking understand anything. If it's loud and I'm drunk, I can't like, form sentences

from what I'm hearing bro when you're when you're not an event like a halo event uh maybe even not not like working but like a halo like maybe like a mixer or like a after party or something

do you get like do you get like stressed when people come up to you and they're like what's up man it's been a while and you have no idea your brain can't dog that happened to me like 13 times at Kodnex. Yeah.

Hey. And they're calling me Davis. Davis. And I'm like, oh, should, I know this person. People don't call me Davis. But that is like, but do I know this person? But do I know this person? Or do they just like fuck with me?

Right. And I, I think it's, I follow way too many people on fucking Twitter. So I probably follow the person I'm talking to, but I have no idea who it is. Yeah. But I can't say that because I don't want them to be like, what the fuck?

Like, we've met six times. What's up, man? And so I'm just like, I'm like, hey, how? I'll think how things been, bro. And then he's like, dude. And then I try to like pick it. Whatever he's saying back to me, I try to like pick out like little details.

And I'm like, oh, oh, I know who this is. Yeah. That happens to me so much. It's practically every event. It happens to me. So, and it's definitely like my brain. Or sometimes there will be subscribers who are like always in your chat. Yeah, yeah.

And it's like, you know, you know of them. And they're always in your, but like when you're at the event and it just, Just like, boom, yo, what's up? What's up, maniac? Hey, what's up, man? I don't know. What's your name? It's like, it's, uh, fucking, it's doomsday.

Yeah. From, from chat. From chat. And I'm like, uh, wait, what was it? Doomsday? Oh, hell yeah. What's on? In my head, I'm like, who the fuck is doomsday?

Or sometimes I'll just genuinely be like, like, fuck. Like, fuck. Like, fuck. Or, wait, let me, I'm trying to remember. Sorry. Like, dude, there's just, bro, I've run into so many people. There's, it's, it's too many, bro. I'm sorry, what's your name?

And then just, like, try to keep it like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Try to keep it normal, but sometimes I'm just like, fuck. There's just, and even sometimes, like, people that I really know, but I'll just, like, blank out. Yeah. And then, like, later on, I'll be like, holy fuck, that is fucking blah, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dude, you know what's crazy is, like, obviously at events, like, at events, if you, if you walk through, like an optic event like you're going to get stopped like multiple times like probably a line is

going to form well it's crazy we used to actually do that and now it's like we hide away i'd still do it because i have well the last couple events i've been working it so i'd have to be on the floor right um but yeah but we do hide away uh if we don't want to talk to people but that's just how it is at an events but then when i go to cod next or like if i go to a cod party or something like that Like it's not like that. It's obviously you're dapping up people that you know like your peers. Like I go to Kodnex. There's a bunch of streamers.

I'm like saying hi to Aiden, saying hi to Joe, Joe Wo saying hi to Z-Laynor and different people. People I haven't seen since the last Kodnext. Bro, Seth walked in. You would have thought he was at a fucking fan event. Really?

Literally like creators lining up to take pictures with Seth. It was fucking insane. That's funny. Was it like that for you? No, I didn't take a picture with any. You walked in and people were just like, people were like, oh shit, what's up? Or they're like, hutch, right?

I'm like, yeah, yep. Optic hutch? Yes, sir. Yeah, that's me, man. Seth walked, I mean, he is the, he is the, he is, Seth. Yeah, it's fucking, I mean, it's probably, if it was a, if there was a Fortnite event for creators, if Tim walked in or if Ninja walked in, they'd probably be the same shit. Have you ever, um, has there ever been someone that's, like, really big or really popular? Say, like, what's up to you?

And you're like, fuck, who is this again? For example Yeah, it happened to me It happened to me this week At the wedding Well, I'll say my For example Um

Terek, the dude who does Like The guy He does all like the He's like the biggest Valor and watch party And like blew the fuck up

Yeah Years ago He's and he How long was he He was on Optic for a while Yeah for like two year Or a year and a half Or something like that

But I mean like I I met the C. guys and like it was always they were always like good people yeah they were never weird and but i mean they lived in bum fuck wood area and like we did our thing they did theirs we'd see each other occasionally so it's like i never really built built a relationship i guess but then i forget what event it was it was a while ago um but he said something to me i think we were just like at a bar and it was like i don't know i don't know what he said he might have been like what's up maniac?

Yeah. And I'm just like, I know your face. But I can't fucking, I'm like, what's up, bro? How you been? And I was like, I'm, it was like kind of calculating in my brain. Like, I think this guy was on the optic CS team. And I was like, but fuck, what's this fucking?

And then we just like had a conversation. And then like after a conversation, I was like, fuck, that, that was fucking terror. I was like, why the fuck's he coming up to me? I was like, isn't this dude fucking blowing up right now? Like, how's he coming up to me. That's how Terrick is, though. He's like the nicest guy. No, but there's a, at the wedding, do you know who the YouTuber Smitty is?

SM7. SM7, yeah, SMI-I-7. I'm just not familiar with this guy. No. Eight million subs. Everything he uploads has a million views. But is it all, like, animated? So it's like you wouldn't even know his face?

Yeah, yeah, he doesn't have a face came on. Oh, yeah, no, I don't know. He came up to me at the bar and was like, hey, man, like, nice to meet you. And he was like, what are we doing this podcast? And I'm looking at him in the face. And it was like, I was like, I was like, fuck. I was like, I think I know who this is. But in your head are you like, oh, shit, man.

I mean, anytime. I'm like, bro, any time, man. Like whenever you. want come on down and then like 15 seconds into talking it clicked and I was like oh this is fucking smitty but that's different because I'm surprised like he doesn't introduce him like y'all have never met before right no but we've talked we've like we've like dm'd before but it's like do you even know what he fucking looks like no I I I've figured it out yeah I had seen like a few things so like I recognized his face but like I couldn't connect him because everybody

Marcel is like he started out as a faceless YouTuber so all of his I started yeah I guess started out a lot of his friends Are all faceless YouTubers so I'm meeting all of them and I can't figure out who was who and so I'm asking Jack I'm like who's that he's like that's this guy. I'm like oh shit, okay, okay and So that but yeah, yeah that just the courage is safe haven Yeah, Jack and Cole basically And then

Yeah, yeah. That's pretty much, that was pretty much who I, like, stuck around. This is all for, wait, whose wedding was it? Marcel's wedding. Basically, I do work. Yeah, it was his, his wedding, which was a beautiful wedding. Of course. In Hollywood, it was very, very nice. It was all in one place. So, like, we, we did, there was the wedding upstairs, the ceremony upstairs, and then the reception right downstairs. I don't even want to have a wedding and invite any of you, folks. What? The fuck's wrong with you. Imagine going to Seth's wedding

Some of your other fucking YouTube friend's wedding Then you pull up to my wedding I'd be like God they think I'm a fucking loser No The standard of Seth's wedding Alex and I talk about it all the time We'll never go to a wedding like that ever again That was the one time we'll do that in our whole life

That shit was fucking I wonder what fucking I gotta ask page when she gets back Like what was Selena's wedding like? Oh yeah That was the only They probably did it like more chill more chill than Seth probably I mean

I don't understand how it gets bigger I don't think I don't know either I mean they had fireworks just the place it was at the they were making cakes I don't know was it a church I don't fucking know what we were in but yeah that was just that was just insane but I've

been um yeah it might have me you might be right they definitely did a more like chill something I'm sure of it because like I was Damn nails on fleak The fuck Shout out Selena man

It looks good My bad I didn't know The soft spot Are you cool You cool with this People actually People will come in my chat

And be like Damn you really did Fumble with Selena I'm like shut The fuck One picture I got with her One night

One picture I did actually hang out With her like another time or two But With this mutual friends. It wasn't just me and her, but interesting times those were

I was going to L.A. and shit. I fucking hate those fuckers. Or not L.A. people? Not the L.A. Just, it's the vibe of L.A. It's like everyone wants to be someone. Like, I remember I was in, I was at some random house party

and they were like kicking people out and kicking me out. And I'm like, I'm with the girl, your best friend or I'm with I'm with the girl Like y'all are best friends Like she just brought me in here They kicked you out of a house party? Yeah

Or they were like trying to And they were like do you need us to help you leave Or something like that Or as in like a I guess Don't drag me out of the fucking house And I was like bro hold on Like I'm with

Teresa Oh I was like I'm like I'm with fucking Teresa Yeah aren't you all best fucking friends like just wait a second trust me I don't want to be here I am I will gladly leave

I didn't want to come here in the first fucking place and I feel like since I'm there and I'm not like some known YouTuber fucking Instagram models or something I'm like not welcome that's just the vibe I would get but then there was also times where like I would meet I remember Blake

Page's brother took me to just some there's just like couple of girls they were just having like white claws by their pool and like we go there and like that's just another fucking Tuesday afternoon for them just like white claws by the pool I think they were like two or three roommates and then it was like me Blake maybe someone else maybe one of the sisters were there as well but like we went over there and they were nice and it was just like a chill good conversation and then boom spent a few hours there and then left and it was like it was normal yeah there was there's a lot of cool people a lot of like welcoming inviting people

But then there's a side where it's like, can, if you can't do anything for me, I'm not interested in being around. Yeah. It's like the vibe I kind of got. I can't fucking stay in LA. Yeah. But it all, it all depends on who you're, who you're around. Because there's some really, I, there's like a core group of people in L.A. that like, anytime I'm there, I'm texting them like, yo, what are you doing? Because like those people, those people are cool.

Yeah. But like the grand scape of it all, I'm just like, oh, my God. Yeah, no, it's, I just, I just don't have to. It's literally like, it's a whole, it's a different world. It's people that are trying to be famous, like waiting through, like, like, waiting through homeless people. Bro, even. It's just like, it's like the polar opposites of people are right next to each other. Even the house party I was at.

The, there was a lying to get into the house party, like a security guard. Dude. I'm just like this. It's like 2 a.m. You could not catch me. Yeah. And I was like, I don't want to. A line to get into a house.

She's drunk and she wants to go say hi to her friends. Bro. Yeah, fucking right. Like when I hang out with the reeds and stuff and all of their friends, everyone's super fucking cool. Yeah. Of course. Yeah. Because they're hanging with the reads.

Paige said something on my video because I was like, I'm doing light squats. I have a fucked up back. She was like, something's not always wrong with your back. And I was like, not all of us have Godlike reed. genetics. Something that way's wrong with the back. She does not sound like that at all. Yeah, shout out the Rees, man.

Shout out the fucking reeds. We, um, so last week, we got a little political. True sent me a picture of sausage rolls and said these are good. So last week we got a little political. I don't, I took a, I took a gander at the comments. Oh, yeah. I don't know. I saw a few, but I don't know how bad they really got.

These guys are the perfect example of high school kids in the back of the class throwing pencils at the ceilings during ethics and political science course. It's funny. It's funny that you think we would, like, jocks like us would take political clients. The cool jocks like us. But meanwhile, anti-cissazza is in the back just with his, with his, with his, with his, he's in the front. Paying attention. Yeah. Congratulations, man.

You probably raised your hand to go to the bathroom. They didn't. I walked out like a jockwood. We got some IQ in here. They didn't even pick a side and weirdos still got offended in the comments. Why can't people just vibe? Why can't people just vibe? That's what I'm saying.

Just because the Libby's took our jobs don't mean we can't vibe. I think I replied to that Brian guy. The left and the right argument in the U.S. is pretty dumb. It's impossible for everyone to fit into two sides. That's why most other civilized countries have a multi-party system. I do find it ironic that Hitch thinks he's somehow superior for being in the middle. He literally agreed with me. But he doesn't think he's superior.

He agreed with me, but I'm, I don't understand what the fuck. That shit happens so much to me. You got an ego, bro. I guess. You think you're better than them. I guess so, man. I guess.

Now, what's the word for in the middle? Libby? Nope. That's left. Centrist. You're a centrist? I don't fucking know. I'm not anything, man.

People say fence sitter. We're fucking. Fence sitter is. Like comments below where does hitch fit give him a label the fend calling like for people that are like don't claim either side like fence sitter is like the slur for them page had the best answer this episode is fucking wait what was then I call her

or you called her and she said are you left or right and she said I throw it with my left or like something like that like I play basketball with my left and volleyball with my right or something like that who cares what side anyone is on it's okay to disagree with things I've got people in my circle that I disagree with on some things and they disagree

with me on some things and that's okay the media is the real enemy social media just playing cups out of I mean that What the fuck is this? What is Collins? What is the reason Hitch can't remember his friends or teachers is because he's an NPC who didn't become conscious until he started with Optic. What does that mean?

I get it. I understand what he's saying, to be honest. One of these days he'll come out. He might be on to some. One of these days he'll come out as a lefty, the lefty that he is as well, instead of just pretending he has no idea of politics. Dude, if I ever come out as a lefty, I give a. anyone in here full permission to chainsaw all of my limbs off.

So you're on me around like a volleyball. So you hate lefties? You hate the left. I don't. No. What side's the right? I forgot again. Right.

Right is guns. Yeah. Trump. There you go. And Maga. Left is liberal. That's too many. Like, break it down.

Like, left's LGBTQ. Right. Riley's left is liberal conservatism in minorities. You're saying you're making fun of, yeah. I'm saying right is guns, Maga Hat, and Trump. Okay, yes. Left is LGBTQ, no guns. And I mean, I need a number three.

What else do they rock with? Keep going. You're doing well so far. I can. I have nothing. I'm out of political words. That's how I need a broken down. I mean, you're right.

I know it's a lot more than that, but. I'm glad that you're, I'm glad you're, I think, and that's why I tweeted at you, I said, I think the flight, people are very interested. People are very interested in the flycast becoming a political podcast. Just because, like, our minds are so open and, like, enlightened that maybe we could make a difference. Yeah. In the, in the political side.

Excellent job at 10. Tiptoing the line There's still going to be people mad That's the problem with the world I thought this was hilarious And other normal people will too I like that guy Up vote that

Upote that guy Yeah I don't really Damn y'all were on Trump's nuts And now politics don't matter When we're on Trump's nuts? Bro I'm telling you People call Bro it's insane

It is fucking insane When did we ever back Like Listen I'm not gonna lie When Trump was first trying to get elected for president? Erwin, was that 2016? We were in the scuff house.

I remember walking to your room. I remember saying there's no way he's going to get elected. He's too much of like, like, I just didn't like the guy. Put all politics aside, because obviously I know nothing. Yeah. But I was like, I just don't like the fucking guy. No, me neither. As time has moved on.

I still don't like the guy. I don't, I don't really trust him and I don't really like him. he's not someone I would really want to hang out with, but there are, I have, but he's not a pussy. He's not a pussy. I wouldn't,

I don't, I would never, if he was a regular person, I would never be, I would never hang out with him. I feel like that's how I, but I, that's how my brain works.

But I do believe he does have a interest in making America great. And I'm not going to say great again. I do believe Trump is, is, Patriot. And he wants what's best for the country. And I don't know if I like that.

But I like having a non-pussy president. I do too. Put it that way. It's better than... But I can't say that I... Is it better? I don't fucking know. Obviously there's so much shit that probably like the whole

I was never a fan of the whole borders thing. And then people start talking about yeah, but like all the illegal immigrants that do get in, they take this amount of jobs and it affects our economy and then so it's like both sides just have like but i'm like these are like innocent people that like have lived here for 10 15 years and then boom they just got to be fucking shipped back and i think it's fucked up and kind of cruel in a way but i guess technically

it's like there's just like two sides to where it's like i don't know where to fucking where to agree on and both sides have stuff i can agree on with and that i don't agree on on with and I don't know I don't even know how we got how do we start talking about you want to know you want to look at the comments from last week um that's that's what happened has hitch ever finished one of those

tiny coffees I don't know why he always has one I finish it every day has to have one in every video they make Bose making maniac for a transformation that why I listen I'm tired of Bo's saying that too because he he will say that and he's almost like me in a way

but like he'll say that but Bose wouldn't until I would 100% be down to help Bose get in the best shape of his life. But like he's got a show that he wants it. I've talked to him about food. I've gave him meal prep recommendations. I've

told him who I get my meal prep from. I give him just simple like yo wake up and just go do a 30 minute walk incline like at your apartment gym. Like let's start now. Just get fucking moving. But like it just doesn't uh it just doesn't happen or he might he might eat clean for like a week and then it's boom right back to so until i would 100% be down um but bo's just has to be all in it if bo's is

all in i'm all in so that's that's that's that for that because that actually has been a conversation a few times it's just like locking in with bows i remember me locking in it's off and on but i do I have been very consistent with the gym. Now, food and other shit. This summer, drank a lot of alcohol, turned into fucking drinking. I turned into one of those people I used to, I wouldn't say make fun of,

but I was like, there's motherfuckers that literally just like work their job during the week. And then there's Friday they're drunk, Saturday they're drunk, Sunday they're hungover, probably drinking again, again watching football or something.

Yeah. And I like literally kind of was turned into that this summer. And I ain't got to lie. I would say three, three weeks ago, I was pretty fucking depressed. I was very bedridden and I just did not feel good at all. I was at a very low point a couple weeks ago. I feel like I'm sort of coming out of the funk a little bit, but alcohol just kills. I mean, like, I quit alcohol now. It's probably been three weeks or so since I drank. And like, boom, suddenly now I want to wake up and there's some video ideas and

like there's stuff I like it's almost like the brain starts working again like I'm eating cleaner I'm not stuffing my fat fucking face I'm smoking less weed I'm not drinking and it's almost like the brain starts thinking again

and the brain just has more energy and it starts fucking putting stuff together and it's giving you ideas and you want to know a really good podcast is Chris Williamson I don't know who that is damn you gotta watch that pod

it's the best pod um Theo Vaughn has a podcast with Louis CK and it's like a two hour pod the first hour they're cracking jokes and then the last hour they talk about like rehab

and like Louis CK going to rehab for like sex addiction and they compare it to you know Theo Vaughn going to rehab for cocaine bro it is so good. I was like watching it on the plane damn near in tears because I was like holy shit like to see to see like Louis C.K. like talk about it because he was like obviously when I when everything

first happened I was like pissed and I was like what do you mean like this is I'm being treated unfairly he was like and then you like Theo apparently told him to go to this like program so he went to the program and he was like I've learned a lot. He was like I learned that I was like I knew needed this. I needed this from and there's just the way they talk about it like coming from two people that actually went through it. Bro, it is such a good podcast. And I feel like I was going to some shit too. And I'd listen to other people and I'm like, okay, what? Like I listen to that. And I was like, wow, it's it doesn't matter like where you're at in life. Like if you're down in the dumps, like you can figure out a way to get out of it like regardless of whatever it is. Yeah. And I, I, dude, you got

I feel like anybody should watch that shit. I feel like I've seen a little bit of it. All of the comments are like, wow, this is like, I'm, you know, I've just changed my life. Regardless of whatever your addiction is. Yeah. And I think one thing that the, that, uh, Lucy Kay was saying is like, like, like when you, when you go to rehab for alcohol or you go for drugs, people are like, oh, yeah, that's like, I, I like, you know, I appreciate that you're doing this and trying to get out of it. He was like, but I was going for like jacking off. And he was like, you don't get damn, you don't get any.

You don't get sympathy from anybody for doing that. And I was like, holy shit. It's fucking crazy. But then if you're sitting in a circle and kind of telling because in rehab, that was the first like week was you kept just being in circles and new people would come in. Everyone would sort of tell their story a little bit. So I can only imagine if like that's your story. Yeah.

of like everyone's in there for drugs and alcohol right you're the one guy in there for beaten off for beating off too much that can't be they can't be like a comfortable but he was like he was like he was like you don't he was like i didn't realize how many people were like like me until i started going he's like there that like 22 year olds that are addicted to porn and beating off and they don't know how they can't get through the day like i was i was never I was never like that. I always felt like I was, like, there was times where I'd be crashing on Addy. I'm up for two days and then I'm crashing and then I'd do like a fucking four hour session or something.

There were days like that. But there was never a consistent, I was never consistently beaten off or felt like I had to or any kind of like sex addiction. To be honest, I always thought I was a little, even now. I still, I even, I talked to, she's not technical. a doctor, but it's a woman I'm working with with like my blood work and just like trying to feel my best. I guess she's sort of a specialist in that kind of way. But I told her, I even marked on the paper like sex drive low or like low sex drive. Right. Because I just don't feel like I, you know, talk to not to mention names or something, but I'm just, I'll talk to James. And I'm just like,

this one of the fuck is a horny bastard. Or I'll talk to hitch and I'm like horn dog. I was just like other everyone's always I don't know like I'll talk to something they'll like yeah I beat off every day and I'm just like really like I can I'll maybe want to rub one out once a week but it's like I'm just not and then like sometimes even like a girl I maybe am attracted to she'll hit me up but I'm just like not horny so so there's just like what am I going to do with this I'm not like I just don't feel horny as other guys are I think then I so I even put that on my paper and it's I think I'm getting out of age right now where it's like almost a little worrisome like I've never had any problems with like boners and shit but I am a little I don't know it's just like

maybe maybe it's just because it didn't feel like that this summer this summer I was like all right I don't fucking I'm looking at I'd go to the gym and just see an ass and be like all right I'll keep that in mind's later. So you were good to sign. But like recently, recently it's just like, bro, I am not horny at all. I want to go to a fertility clinic

check to see if I can still have a fucking kid because if I can, I'm gonna, well, I'll just be depressed, to be honest. So I need to do that. And I just want to make sure fucking, there's no complications. I feel like the last couple weeks, my hoardiness has really gone down.

And I'm a little worried about it. Maybe it's just like, because I have been fucking... I can change that. I have been sort of depressed and very... I don't know. My brain just felt foggy. I think I'm doing a little better as of recent, but I don't know, just to end the summer,

I think I find everything caught up to me. My blood, I got my blood work done. It was fucking bad. It was bad? Shit was high. I mean, it's a bunch of words You wouldn't even know and I don't even know But like you just look at the chart

Everything's either low or high Yeah And it was I was like So is my blood work bad? And she was like yeah Really? She was like your blood work's bad And then she gave me a whole

Fucking three page sheet of everything You need to start taking this vitamin Some more vitamin D You need to drink at least a gallon of water a day Alexis told me your drink goes is high Yeah I saw her post She posted a story about some diabetic shit

And I responded and I was like My doctor told me today Well she's not a fucking doctor But my person told me today that I'm damn near diabetic And I was like how And I was because I was fucking mind blown I was like how the fuck am I almost diagnosed? Do you know where your A1C was?

No I don't fucking And I don't even know if they measured that Or what it was I'll have to look Because I told her I'd send her my blood work but I'm sure my blood works what they're checking for is probably different from

because I'm doing it for like the TRT stuff just to make sure all that stuff is level and not too high not low so I don't they're not really checking all the glucosey sugar fucking whatever it is but yeah she she told me

I mean I told her my diet has been pretty shit I've been drinking a lot of alcohol probably not enough water so I wasn't surprised Yeah. But I was surprised that she was like, yeah, you're kind of close to being diabetic. And I was like, how the fuck? I was like, I think I do decent.

Yeah. Like you can't look at me and think, oh, he might be diabetic. But obviously, like Alexis case is you don't need to be overweight to be diabetic. No. But I don't think that's the case for me. Like I don't think I have like some rare, I don't know if it's called like a disease. but I don't have a rare condition to where I'm diabetic. I just think maybe my fuck, the alcohol and shitty-ass food I was eating for three months straight.

Maybe that's the reason why. But we're going to check back in like six weeks and see where we're at then. I've been kind of, I've been locked in a little bit, cooking more, eating out less, less fucking bullshit, eliminating alcohol. We'll see where that gets me from my fucking blood. bro you know what you know what is also a very easy a very easy uh a very easy uh viral tweet not viral tweet but like you'll get an easy thousand likes on a tweet nowadays is if you just trash call a duty that that is becoming

this is a perfect time right now that's becoming like today bro if you trash call a duty it's the easiest likes of your life it's actually like kind of crazy well it is October 2nd beta just dropped beta just dropped I say you don't even well I guess technically

you have played it I haven't even touched the game I've barely watched it I might throw something out there really disappointed in what I just put don't even have it downloaded to make up some

bro you'll get 2,000 likes it's like the people are horny to hate cod right now speaking of horny Really? I thought they were trying to be No. Like when I was in people, I clicked on like three different streams.

We're back. This game is sick. It flows. It's, this, it's that. Yeah, but now. No, I'm saying like the general public.

Not like Seth's. Not Cess chat. Yeah. But like the general public, bro, it is like a, it is like a rally. I mean, that was kind of me before this pod started.

Yeah, you were kind of hitting a little bit. I was kind of, I was kind of hate it. I was like, because I clicked on the scum's chat and it was just like, Dan, this shit looks nice. We're so back.

Fucking, I think the weird. I'm tired. This is fucking the eighth year straight of seeing this shit. In two months, motherfuckers are not going to be playing. What game? I was thinking about it.

What game have you played that you bought on a yearly cycle that you played for longer than two months? Because like, I mean, I'm a bad person to ass. So, yeah. I am too because I think people I think there's like a like when Marvel rivals came out it's a great game but I knew I wasn't going to play it for longer than three months yeah I don't for like three days yeah exactly I played it for like a week and it was a good game and I think it's a good game but I'm not going to play and I when I played Counterstrike I played it for well we're at a place where we're going to play something and if our community and chat enjoys it

And we'll fucking play that shit. Maybe that's different. Yeah, yeah. So, and if it's not really working, and it's like, this game's kind of fun. But if you really fucking love the game and just, I'm going to play anyways, so I might as well stream. If it was that type of thing, I get it. But like, when you're setting certain hours out of like, all right, I'm going to stream these hours. I'm going to try to make it the best stream I can, make it entertaining.

We're going to be playing this game a weekend. You're like, chat's not really fucking with it. Viewership's declining. not many subs have come through. This ain't going to be work. This ain't going to work long term. Then you got to just throw it away. Yeah.

It's like, I don't really give a fuck about the game like that anyways. So, well, let's try something new or just not stream for three months and just only stream Halo tournaments. We got Charlotte starting tomorrow.

We aren't at the event. Hopefully we can make it to Worlds, but the Halo guys are in Charlotte's, uh, HCS. Charlotte, North Carolina. We should have went, man. I can't stand Charlotte.

Charlotte's like the L.A. of North Carolina. I do wish we were there. Unfortunately, we weren't able to make it happen. We're going to try our best to make it. I mean, we have to make it to worlds. If we don't make it to worlds, I'm just... What do you mean if you don't make it to worlds? Like the watch party?

If me and APG aren't had worlds doing the watch party, like I might have to start making shit up and throwing people under the bus. something. But we will be doing a watch party from the HQ here. Oh, yeah. It's going to be a long weekend, man. I almost don't know.

It's like, would it be better for us to do it here or just at fucking home? I mean, I think it'd be better here, but like... Definitely better here. At home, I feel like we could, like, for certain matches, maybe getting a discord with like scump or something. And just, of course. He's going to be playing the beta. Beta fucking drops.

I think Seth's going to be playing the beta. I think you might be good. I think you might be Scott free until finals. Well, I'm not even worried about that. I'm worried about everyone's going to be playing the beta and watching the beta. So it's like our numbers are not going to be good. Not by Sunday. Our numbers might not be the best.

It's Wednesday. It's just, I'm just like, of course, the beta drops on a fucking event weekend. Bro, it's Thursday right now. People can't even play the beta, especially unless S&D drops. Like I'm not gonna be able to play the beta for more than four hours. Yeah, it's the same three maps right Like can you even like level up the guns that like max I think you can I think you can I think you can at Codnex we had everything unlocked Like that was available so I don't know if it's like that like I don't know if you have to level up the guns or if every if if all the attachments are available Okay, so you do have to level up. Okay, okay, but yeah, I think

First of all good luck to the Halo boys definitely want to see them get one because I know they've I know the last two events they they've gotten second to that fucking uh to frosty in them but they beat them in the last online so we'll see hopefully they got it um yeah this is gonna be interesting man it's been a fucking year long or not a year but all season shopify versus off thing yeah every event and it just just Optic beats Shopify Fucking Shopify is not that good Shopify beats Optic

See I fucking knew they're better They got more skill they're gonna take over Formals Was fucking just Bro when I see your chat When I see your chat during the events I'm like that's why I don't watch party Sometimes

It's just I like to let it happen Because I think it is good for the chat And for just the community And the engagement Like there's got to be some back and forth into chat. But then when there's one motherfucker who just won't shut the fuck

up. Just obviously hate watching. Just hating. Bro, I clicked on a shit. It said I only banned one person from my last watch party. And I clicked on a shit. It was 93 messages. Every single message

was optic is bad. Optic is shit. Optic needs to drop this person. Shopify will always dominate Optic. optic just every and I'm just like bro like I have to like I even said I was like bro I got to ban you I was like your shit's not funny and I'm looking at your messages you have 93 messages every single one is not pure hate it's not criticism yeah I'm like bro you're just you're kind of just killing the vibe in here I got to ban you bro like I try to let you you know I want people to say what

they got to say I want people to like whatever team they want to like to defend whatever team they want to defend, you know, optic for Shopify when they go at it, they go at it. You know, that's going to be part of the experiences. Both people are going to have sides that they like and they fuck with and they're talking shit. And boom, we won. Oh, we're happy. Boom.

They won. They're happy. Oh, it's a tied series. Oh, shit. What's going to have? Chat might be going out. But my God, some people just don't fucking stop. And I was like, bro, I just got to ban you.

Every single time I look over, your name is sticking out to me like a sore thumb. And it's this the same hating ass shit. every time. It's insane. But I ain't really worried about it, though. That's why I don't like the fucking watch party, dude. I like to watch my team. On Cess?

Yeah, any watch party ever. Like, when I watch sports, I like to watch my team, and I like to go, I like to watch my team and hope that they win. Yeah. And that's how I like to watch sports. I know that's fucking crazy, but that's how I like to watch them. It's not how it's supposed to be done. You're supposed to be in the chat.

And obviously if the team that I enjoy, which are all of the teams that I enjoy, especially the U.S. men's nationals team and ECU football, they're, they don't win often. You don't tweet them and talk shit? Dude. And I will be disappointed, obviously, with some of the coaching decisions, especially for the U.S. team. but when I see people just like fucking like hating like dude where do where do you like even the teams I don't like I don't like Notre Dame I never like Notre Dame I used to love Notre Dame when I when I see Notre Dame when I was a kid I wanted to go to Notre Dame for whatever reason when I see Notre Dame play anyone I'm rooting for the other team it's it's

a 100% success rate that I will never go for Notre Dame. But I would never stay in a consistent chat with somebody and be like, Notre Dame's ass. This is why Notre Dame's ass. I hate Notre Dame. Notre Dame wouldn't be better. He needs bench. That's fucking insane to me. That, like, literally, I don't think I've ever hate watched anything. I'm trying to think if I've ever hate watch

anything. Like, watch something specifically to watch them lose. I don't know if I've ever done that. If I ever have, it's been Notre Dame. But that's it. And if you you keep it to yourself yeah like fuck this guy yeah exactly like i watched when who did who did not a name lose to last year riley no first game the season in it was like a it was like the biggest upset in history since or since the fucking michigan game in in regardless i watched that game Northern Illinois. I watched the Northern Illinois game

because it was such a fucking crazy. Damn, and then it just win, win, win, win, win. Yeah, and that Northern Illinois team is like horrendous. And they lost to them. It was like a huge upset. And I watched that game. I watched that game with a smile on my face. But I wasn't hate watching.

I wasn't like, holy shit. I want them to lose. You don't find a chat or a Reddit immediately go to. I'd be like, oh, Notre Dame this, Notre Dame that. I might have tweeted something funny. just to cover my base. 66 to 7. Yeah.

That's insane. Purdue's not good? This is football, right? Yeah. Purdue's ass. Do you say we're terrible? They're terrible. Riley thought he was on the team.

Riley thinks he's on Alabama sometimes. He thinks he's on the coaching stuff. I'm an Ohio State fan. Are you? What's your favorite player? Oger 2 He went to Ohio Did he really?

I know he just lived there Yeah no I don't watch any football When I do the only thing I did watch was When I was a kid I watched Notre Dame basketball In Vikings football That's the only sports I even told myself Before this season of football

I'm gonna watch this shit I'm gonna have shit to say I will be included in conversations I haven't watched anything I haven't watched a single fucking See, here's the chatter. That's Riley. That's Riley. That's Riley is that guy.

I hate watching. All right. I guess that's going to do it for the fly cast today, man. A lot of, hope you all learned something today. Yeah, I know you guys definitely learn something. I hope you all learned something today. That's going to do it for us.
