I don't know. Chat. It, holy fuck. That's what people say. That's what people say. It doesn't matter. Podcast.

Stream. I just freaked myself out. Out of the podcast episode. Who gives a fudge? Almost. Well, actually a special episode today. 167.

Hey. 6.7 like the new kids say. It's actually. What is it? Is it based off that one song where they, the guy's like growling. Yeah, six, seven. That's a perky on the highway.

That's what it came. That's what the, he says, man. Like he, I don't even know if, I don't even think he, I don't even know what six, seven in the song means. Riley tells us, you're hip with the kids. Yeah, I don't know. And then some like, I think high school basketball, ball player with a Lisp, but he's like pretty good at basketball. Right. He started saying, thick, seven.

And then people started like, then his memes started going around. The meme derives from the song Dute Dute by Scrilla, which features the reoccurring lyrics, 6-7. NBA star Lamello Ball is associated with the Trans Inception due to his impressive 6-7. Lamello Ball is 6-7? Yeah. Dude, he went from like 6' foot to 6-6 in a summer. You like in a summer

That's actually That's crazy, what? He might be taller in Leangelo in a Lanzo That's I thought he was still like Short I don't know I didn't I don't watch basketball obviously He was always tiny

And then literally one summer He grew like six inches. Six or seven inches. You know what's exciting today? Flycast topics because we're trying this time. We have topics. Possibly the most topics.

Flycast topics. And this is the one episode. There's been multiple episodes where I'm like, that's a really, that was a really good episode, even if it's just me and you. And it's like it doesn't matter if the episode's good or not It's just the same fucks Showing back up that's what I'm saying Like we don't ever get a good episode in

Or like say we put effort into our episode Or we come with energy we don't ever Make a banger between among ourselves And it like kind of pops You know what we need to do We need clippers That's what the new kids do Riley's already making the super cuts

But do we get fucking clips like that Or does it, is it gonna take like consciousness of like subjects? No, we can, we can, we can clipers. And I don't, it's like, it's not cringe because it works, but you can tell they're in clip mode. Nah, I know what you're talking about. I'm not talking about like IRL streamers clipping. Not, not even really talking about that.

Who, what is that? What are those two, you know who's really good at it is fucking, The white dude and the mixed dude Bro? See, this is what we're dealing with. So good. I don't even want This was a wedding and this was better than the second one. What? Yeah, I don't think I tweeted it.

Just because the Libby's took our jobs Don't mean we can't vibe. Just because the Libby's took our jobs. Don't mean we can't vibe. He's not a pussy. True sent me a picture of sausage rolls and said these are good. Trust me, I don't want to be here. I am glad

I will gladly leave. We look like potters in this. I don't fucking know I'm not anything man if you can't do anything for me we're not interested in being around you I love the digging the fuck that it's crazy how out of contact he really did fumble Selena I'm like shut the fuck I don't think that way to want with the back it's funny that you think we would wait was that page was that me actually like what was it something's always wrong with us chains I think it's all my limbs off and throw you even saying I don't care remember I've never had any problems with like

this was two episodes ago I can't remember back something's always wrong with the bag I don't know I don't know what I was saying Oh That's what Paige said And that's how Paige talks Something that was more with your back

Your back is how you're hot Because Paige did say that to me I think Yeah Because when did I injure my back I don't know There's these two There's this guy and this girl That have a podcast

See I know what you're talking about And that's kind of forced clipping I think Where they get like super energetic And they know a clips coming And that I don't think we I don't I mean I think that's smart But I don't think I mean if I could I would

I don't think we do we I'm not I just if I could I would I just I don't know What there's a there's a whole even in my people are like you gotta get people to clip your streams and I'm like I mean back in like the H1 Z one days and shit like that Then yeah maybe But as far as like these days when I'm like I'm kind of just watching you feel like people that are like There's no clip. People that can be funny are like if you clip it right, like, like obviously for people like the IRL streamers or for people like, like peanut.

Fat Nat. Yeah, like, well, Fat Knapp does it purposefully, which is fun. I know. That's one of, I was actually going to start talking about that. But, but I think like for most people that have a good time and are funny, like you should, like, I think that's one of the biggest things. Oh, the basement yard is different. I like these guys are.

These are the best. These guys are the goats. Like they don't have to try. Yeah. These guys are so... Yo, have you heard about that one? Yeah. Yo.

No. What is it? Tell me. How you... Oh. Listen, not even hate on it. If I could, I would. But I just don't have the skill, I guess.

Kind of a question's out. I want this thing to come in my mouth. But, dude, I think... Have you ever heard it? There's a pod that was... It's a very, like, chill podcast, but they have really good moments that are... It's a... It's a guy and a girl.

I think her name is Brooke. Maybe, I think... I don't know. I can't remember. But they're under, like, the TMG scene, and they... And they're just, like, talk and they're funny, but they don't, like, force it. And I think we could do some shit like that. Because their clips are really good, and they bang.

I mean, maybe, man. Yeah, these two, these two. Brooke and Connor, I've never seen these people. These two are popping. Yeah, I've never seen them. They're popping. But they get, they get like really good, really good guests and shit too. But they're very funny.

They have like a really good producer. Yeah, their producer's good. Like, we need, we need someone, someone like that. Yeah, I feel that. But anyway, what are the topics again? Let's see. We're so bad at this shit. Well, I was, well, I was telling.

you before this. He's in watch party mode, bro. He's in watch party mode. Before this, I was just talking about how I think I had a whole point. First of all, we need to... The one day we have topics and stuff,

and we're like, all right, we're going to try this episode. Which we do. We try every fucking episode. We just kind of wing it. I was going to make some point that, like, the one the one day I'm like super tired and just fucking Honestly, I might still be high. Nick's high right now. I'm not high right now, but my God, the amount, I'm not going to say what I did yesterday.

I hung out with someone. Was it a guy or a girl? It's irrelevant. What would be the difference of whether it's a guy or girl? Pinoor vagina. That would be the difference, I think. But what if they have both? That's a good point.

I'm sorry. And they don't go by guy or girl. Or have a penis or a vagina. Exactly. So I was hanging out with somebody yesterday. We got some food, got a few drinks. I didn't want to get the drinks, but I had to get the drinks. It was my first time meeting this person.

So I got the drinks. Just went with the flow, ate a shitty meal afterwards, went back to this person's place. This person got a joint. usually when I smoke it's one hit of the pine park THCA still does the job but it's not like it's not like taking an edible or

smoking a bunch of just straight THC less psychoactive got you so that's what I'm used to doing one little bowl hit boom lay down for 13 hours yeah of course so yesterday this person

brings a joint what was this person's name? Don't worry about that. Okay. I was like yours. Don't worry about that. I was actually going to say something, but then someone could look up that word and then find it.

Doesn't even fucking matter. Anyways, where was I? This person brings joint joint down. Bring joint down. In car with joint. Okay. We. Light joint, smoke joint.

Usually, it's like one hit out of a bowl for me. maybe one hit of a joint and I'm done. Now, because I wanted to look cool. In front of this person. And I'm not going to lie, I was feeling pretty good. I was feeling relaxed. This person was laughing at everything I was saying. I was like, I'm on one today.

That's good. So I was like, boom, cap off the night, smoke this and then go home. Probably eat, take chewy out, whatever. I end up smoking damn near. I was a long-ass joint, damn near the whole joint. and my God I started like I was I was glad

we were at her place and she was gonna get out and leave because it was like I just haven't I don't think I've been that high since I had the edible at the event and it was like

remember when you first started smoking and you would get in your car and the music was different yeah like you could feel like it was like that like I haven't like fire and desire came on like what other songs there was two songs before it i had my windows down it was like the perfect

kind of vibe as i'm pulling into my garage put the pool of windows up fire and desire by drake comes on and it was just the perfect like i just felt like i was melting in my seat it hasn't been like that in so fucking long but anyways i pass out and then it i don't know what time it had to be like 10 p.m or something and usually i'm always up to like 10 to 4 a.m. but probably like 10 to 10 10 p.m. I probably fell asleep. Maybe even, I don't, I don't know. Could have been earlier. It could have been later. It could have been later. And then I just wake up at like 9 a.m. this morning. Just completely gone all night. I might have only woken up like once. And then I woke up and I was like, oh my God, I think I'm still high. This is like, it feels like I took an edible.

I was actually scared to drive down and do this, do this podcast because I was like, oh my god this is gonna i don't know if i'm gonna be able to do this and then i went to the diner fucking we've run into each other yeah just can like barely open my eyes i'm like man hitch is gonna have to carry on this podcast because i don't know why i mean i guess it was the amount of smoke but it just feels like i took a fucking edible and after the mistake i made last event taking an eddie what event i took a edible what was the last event i was at Was it? Colorado.

Salt Lake City. Oh, okay. I told you that story. That's when you were late, right? Yeah, four hours late. Yeah. And bro, today I woke up and it wasn't as bad, but I was kind of having that feeling,

just like without the panicky shit. So that's why I come here, fucking tired of shit. We got topics. I guess, you know what? This will help, man. This will help, Riley. I didn't know I was going to, I didn't know if I was going to be able to get through this. Do you have a, do you have a, a song that makes you horny?

That was the only good one. Riley is ever done in his fucking life. Oh my God. Dude. That is, that is the only fucking. I'm so mad that that was so funny, bro. I'm so fucking mad that that was funny. Holy shit.

That was good. Oh, fuck. Well, there goes that bit. Did you see, do you hear all? Let me think about mine. Yeah, do you have one? A song that makes me horny. You were, and the reason I thought of this is because you were talking about fire and desire,

and we have a good friend that we won't tell, say who. Every single time. But I was hearing that song playing through the scuff house, I mean, or whatever house I was living in at the time. Of just someone we know. Someone we know. I was hearing that song go through the fucking walls. over and over and over

So like sex song Like what's my Usually I'll put on like If I'm gonna play anything It'll be like party next door And it'll just go on some random That's not what I'm talking about Like you're just out and about

You hear this song Maybe break from Toronto That's a good party next door That's a good one That smile on your face And you're just I'm just imagining myself and his lifestyle

you and him together no like oh you're imagining you were in him I'm in his shoes for a night in his shoes in his shoes just like bad he's in the jeep late night smoking his shit basically my day yesterday

yeah your party next door I am the party next door of optic I'm tired of this motherfucker what does he do that dude he jiggle peck what he jiggle peat you guys don't know But Joey update.

Say this is the wall. He'll go. And it's every single day. Every day. Just jiggle peeking. He always does that. Looking for different people to put in social content. He will always slightly come around that corner.

Just take a glance of what's going on and go back. Well, man. He's looking around for ideas, man. You can't fault him. Can't fault him for that. I'm trying to think before we get into these topics, as anything else happened. Does anything else happen in your life?

Yeah. I want to quit drinking for the rest of the year. All right. But I also said... You guys are playing bingo at home? Go ahead and put down your... But I also said that before yesterday, and then I drank a little yesterday.

You've also been saying that for 167 episodes. Think about that. Do you think on episode one, I mentioned getting shredded? I would put money down. I'd put 50 bucks down that you did. What, what the fuck was episode one? It was probably a banger. We were sitting in the theater.

Yeah, the theater room. Because I remember those were the first couple. We didn't know what the name of the podcast was going to be. We were going to call it the humdrum podcast. And then I was like, I was like, what about the fly on the, I was like, we want, we don't want it to be like a produced thing. We want people, we want us to just talk and we'll be a fly on the wall. And then you go, flycast? Yeah.

Who the fuck is that? Flycast, motherfucker, just search it up and realize it's taken dumbass. Flying tails and student teacher conversations. How did we got to get them on. And their flycast even means something. We got to get them on. We have to have a... The smash cast.

Everyone's got an episode one, don't they? Dude Maniac's new New edition Episode 33 What? Dude How many have we

banged out in the past couple years? A lot Over the first Like four years Interviewing Wait that actually

kind of worked With lethal And Ace Had 136K You know what we do The real flycast Not you Not you

What's her name? I can't remember her name. You pilot people. Flycast. Yeah, just, yeah, Flycast, it would be like, oh, oh, yeah, because we used to title him zero. Zero. Then we gave up at 33, just said 33.

But yeah, we're in the basement. And I think at one point you say, you say, or I'm like, yeah, we want people to be the fly on the wall and you go flycast. I was like, Flycast might work. Raleigh's not too good at a... What are these gonna stop? And whenever you fucking move, probably. Nah, I don't...

You're here for life? No, I mean, I don't know. Am I here for life? You're probably gonna move before, I do. I mean, I'll go back and forth, but... A weird drug. Just hit maniac and hitchp- podcast zero one just an hour and two minutes i thought all of our like early episodes were so long

look at that shit look at my little book my little book i was such a tryhard back then you see my little you really did used to be the try heart of the pod like i felt is that how i felt on like the halo pod yeah like welcome i had to come in and be like all right don't know what i'm going to get given but like here's some ideas that do hopefully the And that was back in the day when people were like, damn, Hitch is so swaggy and handsome and dope and, like, he's talented and, uh, you know,

we're grateful to have him. Yeah, that was back in the day, huh? Yeah, it was back in the day, man. Uh,

it's funny, like in all these, remember where it's, you said you, you were more drippy than me today. Streets by Doja Cat is my horny song. I was hoping Riley came up with like a funny, a funny thing to play right there.

No, I, I do think, streets by Doja Cat? I mean, obviously, I don't know that off top of my head. I'm sure I know the song, but

I do think, um, I do think I, I do think I, what is this? Oh my God. How the fuck is this a thing? 58 different podcasts. I've mentioned the word shredded.

But what if I'm talking about? Can you look up, I was on, I was on some elite shit in the Botez one. Can you look up done, uh, done drinking? Let's look up that one.

How many views it, the Botez episode yet? I don't know. Wait, that was me. That was me. I said that. Oh, so this could be other people. It could be other people.

It could be other people. Yeah, Optic pre-show with Azuma. You hear a maniacs getting shredded? Done drinking, 194. A hundred and ninety-four. Yeah, but that could find it. See what it says. Okay, okay.

That makes something more sense. Well, just play one of them. I want to hear it. That makes more sense. Does it go right to it? Nah, because drinking the pool water. Yeah, like he was drinking the pool water. Oh, see?

Yeah, it's not, it's not necessarily. It's accurate, it's wacky shit. So all we need is for somebody to go all the way back to episode one and see how many times Nick talks about getting shredded or stopping drinking. It's so annoying. I think somebody can do that. If I did not go out with James, it's James's last Friday, I'd be shredded. I'd be more shredded. But instead, I went out with him Friday.

Woke up, hungover, had plans, felt like shit. Also, went out with someone, drank again. You know how there's a rule where they can't be in podcasts? Because, like, you might take over. Yeah. You, I also, unfortunately, you have to stop putting James in your vlogs. Because he might take over? Yeah, unfortunately.

Did you see how much he was trying to take over? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I could tell, even though they were like, you know, three-minute vlogs. I could tell that like James thought he was He was zinning my scum Yeah he was Your scump he's zen Oh I'm seeing the bigger picture now

Yeah I didn't think about it like that Episode 24 I'm gonna be shredded Play it play it Oh wait Is it Do you ever think about

If it's like weird I think it's just natural for you So I don't know if you think about it Do you ever think about There's something And I'm gonna be shredded Is it Is it

was this like 2019? A long time ago. A long time ago. And I'm gonna be shredded. Six years ago. It's nonstop. What am I wearing there? Was it cold? That was that that was that was that was that was that was that was the old HQ man that was Texas. Yeah, uh, Matt was talking about it today or yesterday. We were building this shit and Matt was like I don't like this fucking room anymore. Now it's like a work studio. I was like you don't like it anymore? And he was like, no. Roger got rid of all the windows That is true Damn

That is fucking true Roger was like bro let's make this shit They don't have windows No windows in here anymore The vibe is gone It's because of the fucking Riley watch party This shit don't give a no room Takes up half the fucking space

No windows Everything's just a prompt now Or a propped Or a prop A work prop and it's just not it's just not what it's

everything a pop now everything's just a prompt now I mean a propped I mean a it's just a fucking work studio whatever happened to the authenticity of us doing it because we love it

am I going to be old men yelling at cloud by saying dis um I don't think I fuck with IRL streamers and that is not me disrespe what they do because I know it's hard work. And there are people I enjoy that do it.

I really like Adapt. Yoxick, clip this. Who? Yoxics. Who's that? The guy who glips stuff for Faze. I don't think clips, but like tweets it? His Twitter.

I've heard of Fear Buck. I've never, is it kind of same same thing? Those two, yeah. Now, I don't disrespect people that do it. I think Adapt is fucking hilarious. I think Senna is hilarious. I think when Sketch does shit, he's hilarious. But the clips that I see, it's the, it's, it's what comes after that.

It's the people that are trying to make it. So they do it too. And they think they have to be like super cringy and like, like, I've seen, there were clips from Twitchcon where I was like, oh, I'm never going to that. I don't think I'll ever go to a Twitchcon. Yeah. The IRA streaming thing is a big fucking turn off. just the fact that someone will like just come up to you

and ask you something weird and it always makes it different when you're you know they come up to you say they have like a microphone and then you obviously see the big fat backpack camera pointed at you with a light it's just weird I mean

the the IRL streamers and to be honest what do I even watch anymore but I actually do like the phase boys And for people that will say Like why do people watch them and stuff like that Like I completely get it

I think they're all funny I think Lacey I've probably watched Lacey stream More than anyone Really? Lacey I don't know Lacey I feel like if I was on His bad side

I wouldn't like him Yeah Like I feel like there's a side to him That maybe he is a dick And maybe it's maybe Maybe it's just the IRL streams that are out in the world. Like, I don't mind the IRL streams

when it's like a set or like KSons doing a DJ set in the living room or, you know, the guys are whatever they've been doing. I think how witty they are, man. It's, when you IRRL stream and you're very witty, even when you have like,

say you got girls in your stream as well or there's girls over and everyone's in a room and everyone's talking, it's still if you're funny, if you're witty. And like a lot of the phase guys are fucking funny as shit.

Witty as fuck. They're quick. think of stuff like i think it's fun they have they have such good chemistry and like know when it's trolling and when it's yeah yeah like their shit's almost like comedy rather than like i ral streaming going up to someone and making them uncomfortable that's like their shit's not that is what i don't like their shits not make people uncomfortable for entertainment their shit's just like be funny be witty be stupid do whatever the fuck you want but they're not like they're not trying to be on like some gotcha shit to people like people doing the oh yeah they're

this fucker. The people that were doing like the the cooking streams and like the the the streams where like they sit at their, you know, desk and react to stuff or or they even like some of like the the funny like collabs that people do. Those are those are fine. I guess those are IRL stream. I think I view those more as just chatting streams. But it's the fucking going out in public and like trying to clip farm out in public that just irks me, man. And I think I saw it so. much because of Twitchcon and everyone is going to Twitchcon to network. They're not going to have fun. They're going to network and trying to get their clips. It used to just be for fun. Now it's like, I've never been to TwitchCon. I've been to TwitchCon. It was fun. I heard the parties are fun. Yeah. I'm going to, uh, I had a good time. I'm actually going to, this is so unc of me, but I'm actually really excited because this, this weekend, Alexis got invited to like an Adobe con. Con. and that shit seems like it's gonna be fun

I love AdobeCon the fuck's gonna be a dobi con I mean it seems like there's gonna be like really like big name creators there like actually talking and like fucking it's like actually you are getting up there it's what Twitchcon's supposed to be like I can see you like you'll actually sit at the what are they called it's not like a meat and green

but like a lecture or whatever. No, I wouldn't sit at a lecture. Like, there will be a lecture and you'll be in like the 10th row. Just like, no. James Gunn's gonna be there. That's fucking fire. Didn't we, um, didn't we do a, is it a conference?

Wasn't it in Austin or something? We went to, uh, rooster, rooster fest. Rooster. And there was like a convention. Rooster Teeth Fest. What was it? What's that called? Yeah, I think it was something like that.

R.TX? Was it? I don't fucking know. What was it? Me, you, Hex? Yeah, me, you and Hector. Just us? And we did like a conference.

We did a live fly cast. That shit was. I actually don't remember it all. Yeah, RTX. That's what it was. I don't remember it at all. But I do remember like kind of, it was like us were like a panel and there were actually people in the seats.

I mean, not a lot of people. People were asking us how to make it in the esports. And I was like, well, first, all you got to do. Me and Hector were like, Well, you got to play. Yeah. Just give all the fucking typical PR answers or whatever. See, that shit seems fun, though.

Like, I like little things where, like, you go and you see the booth of the new game that's trying to make it. Like, they're a little platformer. And you're like, yeah. I do like watching nerds, nerd and out. Exactly. I don't want to go to a Twitchcon and people are, it's just, imagine walking into a Twitchcon and seeing 40 streaming backpacks. immediately like fuck that yeah also this shit that happened with i think it i think it's emiru is that how you say her name i don't know that shit's crazy he im a dude a dude tried to come up to her on her

in her stream in her thing and kiss her i saw this like how is this dude not getting fucking like like come on security that's your chance to fucking squabble why they even waiting on it right pick him up drop him what's that fucking dude thinking She was pissed too I think I saw a clip of her on stage later And she and she said I think I got mono from my meet and greet earlier Like throwing shade at Twitch

The man who assaulted me was allowed to cross multiple barriers And TwitchCon and even in front of another Creator's meet and greet to grab me by my face Trying to kiss me unfortunately He wasn't able to But a lot of them obviously shaken up It's not the first time I've felt with something like this. I honestly, I'm more hurt and upset

by how Twitch handled it. Three or four other TwitchCon security staff in the area who did not react and let the guy walk away as you can see in the clip since he didn't even a beautiful. I mean the guy should definitely not be able to walk away. Yeah. You're not going to always stop it.

Like there's so many people walking back and forth. Like you don't know if this guy's just like cutting in front of the... I mean people tackle people tackle people on stage like artists on stage. But when the guy tackled Dave Chappelle on stage, he got his ass kicked. Good. You know, and when people try to- Like that guy right there, the security, it should just, it's on go right there.

Apparently that security guard was her personal security guard. It wasn't- That guy needs fired. It wasn't a- Hell no, that guy needs fired. And- But she probably doesn't know him. He was probably just like hired for the day or something. I don't know if this is the case. Somebody said it in chat.

but Twitch didn't allow her actual security guard to come. That is correct? Wow. Yeah, she has a preferred security guard. She has a preferred security guard and they wouldn't let. I wonder why they wouldn't let him in. And that guy, uh, the, uh, there's like a meme going around of, of Amiru, like looking at the camera like this.

And I saw the clip of why it's going around. she uh she said that that guy that tried to kiss her um they told the twitch CEO about it and he gave that guy a 60 day ban on Twitch and that was his that was his punishment instead of like yeah worse than that it definitely should be yeah I think you're never allowed back I saw I saw it's something I mean I think it was fucking Bizo or something though Biza it was like well I got Banford saying this back in just saying something

Yeah yeah yeah yeah And this dude gets banned for Of course he's What he says is actually insane though So it's like wouldn't it be surprised If you wear a band But yeah for that to Lulu Lovely reveals her

Twitchcon PC had a hijacker program already installed before she got Causing a potential security issues for any streamer that used them About like what happened to the computer that I was on Why don't I have a swaggy room? Holy shit.

All the computers at TwitchCon. Yeah, Lou's room is fucking fire. I was streaming at TwitchCon. And there is this, like, hijack program. I have a screenshot of what it's called. It happens with Chrome, but it's a malicious browser hijacker in potentially unwanted program that I'm not a techie person. but that was on the computer that I was using

and I saw like it popped up yesterday but I'm like oh my what if that's on like every computer at TwitchCon and that's crazy I don't know I guess imagine you log into your Twitch or you log into your

fucking Twitter or your Instagram and that shit's on there and they just have it now your TikTok like well damn it TwitchCon fucking insane man it I've

all Twitchcon was was fucking uh drama all it was I didn't see anything anything nothing about a video game

I didn't see one thing about a video game there's also where it's like dude there's just so much everything's just negativity that is true everything gets dragged

there's so much negativity there was a whole story about the CEO of Twitch getting caught with a 26 year old, but like, they don't say it like that.

They say, like, Twitch CEO caught with super young girl at TwitchCon instead of protecting his something, something. His streamers. And it was like, it was a girl facetiming action. I think it was a girl facetiming action man, an action man streaming.

And then she, she's just like talking. And in the background is the CEO. Yeah. They were like, Do we just fucking, nah, she's hanging out with? So that they made that become a huge fucking deal. And then the dude who was, and then a guy who was with the girl came out and said like, that is not the context at all. We simply were just around him said hi and he just happened to be in the background.

Like they made it seem like he's, they're in a hotel room. It's fucking or something. And like people just go off on that. How is he doing? When something bad happens, people take it farther. in a non-legitimate way, which de-legitimizes, I don't know if that's a word, the actual issue. Like, obviously, Twitchcon had issues. Obviously, Dan Clancy's not doing everything he should be doing.

But don't say he's, now he's a pedophile. Because then now people are going to be like, oh my God. Because he's with like a 26-year-old girl. And I don't even know if he was with her. Exactly. Someone said he just happened to be around them and he was in the background. I'm sure probably a pretty girl. Like, yeah, now he's a creep.

She's probably a pretty girl. But, like, I think one of her friends who was a guy friend said, like, that was nothing like that. He simply just happened to be in the background of the FaceTime. This is S fan saying, like, basically, hey, none of that shit's real. Right, Riley? Yeah. An S fan.

S fan's a pretty cool guy. I've met him. A 26-year-old, and they say a random young girl. That's just insane, bro. It's just insane. But it's like, does that come up because of the Gimaru situation? 100% it does.

How does that happen? He's not worried about security. That's how the internet is. Something like this. That's the internet nowadays. The internet is like, it's fuck. Everything is so insane. The internet's like, wait, who's getting, who's getting reamed on right now?

Oh, Dan Clancy? Okay. Now what do we say about him? Since people are hopping on the hate train, let's keep going. And then now you just go way, too far with it and people forget what the actual issue was because now there's no there's no repercussions to like saying bad to just spreading yeah there isn't anything out of contact it should be uh false or bad shit on the internet i think violence should be the answer there should be more violence

i think so too i think violence people i i think our generation grew up that's not it's just not gonna happen i think our generation grew up with violence is not the answer and this is what we see because of that see i used to people can just do it i used to do it i used to Talks shit back Fucking like whether it's tweets I'm you it's just You just can't It really just doesn't even exist

Unless you're If you just go like that It's suddenly none of it exists It's all over That's all over I win Yeah I was thinking about getting a minimal phone It's called the minimal phone

Oh isn't that where it's only like phone call No Like it only has like a few things I wouldn't actually do I wouldn't be able to do that one Oh. That one's a little too much. Phone call, email, text.

But the minimal phone is like black ink or whatever, e-reader ink. And it actually has like the app store on it. So if you needed to use Discord, you could. If you needed to use Google Sheets, you could. But it just encouraged. This phone? This phone, yeah. It encourages you to just not, to use that.

Like, you can't doomscroll. You could. but it would look like shit. Oh. It makes it ugly, so you're not? It just makes it more, yeah. Like you're not going to sit there and watch YouTube on the side of your bed. No.

With your underwear off one cheek. Yeah. Well, not on the phone, not on this phone at least. Yeah. You could still do that with an iPad or with your TV. I wonder if the camera's any good. Apparently the camera's okay. But when you take a picture, it's in black and white because it's on the,

ink screen but if you upload the picture to instagram it's in it's in color i don't know chat it holy fuck that's what people say that's what people say it doesn't matter podcast stream i just freaked myself out if anybody in the youtube comments has a minimal phone please tell me i want to know if this is worth it no there's not a singular viewer that has a somebody actually yeah i would guarantee none you would guarantee none you would guarantee none None. Not one viewer that watches the fly gas as a minimal phone. Damn it.

Damn it. Not one. James told me that he's doing a social media cleanse. I don't know if he's still doing it. James Sellers? Yeah. Is he lying to me? But he's also on Raya.

So, and I saw him doom scrolling Raya. Oh, really? I just pray for him and let him do what he wants. He's been like, I just. don't, I don't know. Were you mad that he got on Raya before you? Because I know you were trying. I've never tried to get on Raya.

Oh. And what I've heard, for one, never tried to get on Raya. Two, I don't, I don't see success in my future going there. I feel like Rai, look at his fat ass. That is not what he looks like. That is photoshopped. But the reason I... He just got done with a sick pump.

The reason I don't want to get on Raya is even James said it. Dude, take this off. Yesterday or something. It'll match you with girls from different states. Yeah. It'll give you like a couple from your state and then a few from other states. And you only get like 15 to 20 swipes a day or something. He showed me one.

It was like, this girl's from Saudi Arabia. And it's just like... What? And then he swiped right. And I think, well, I think the girls on Raya want they're looking for the okay this is kind of a short cut

into like the upper class men or like something which I don't know how you get invites to Raya like for women but did James steal someone's account yeah how did he get in oh he said it was a three year waiting list really yeah fucking virgin

he's been waiting for three for three years but how I look at it even even myself just put pushups every day gotta get on Raya You know who you expect to when Raya? Blake Reed. Manages NBA players. Yeah.

L.A. L.A. 6.5. 6.7. 240. Amazing family. So it's like that's what you expect. Just like the type of dude that a girl would want to just be like, he's, I don't want to say elite.

But just like on the upper echelon of the man. else. And I feel like just... Someone that can get you into parties. Girls, girls on Raya, I think, want the rich husband. They be a pretty girl lifestyle. Which if I could, I guess I wouldn't mind being a girl on Raya. That.

Or wouldn't mind being the guy, I don't know, man. She's got to have some... This guy's on Raya. There's got to be some purpose and stuff. We can't just, I don't know. Maybe I'm, maybe it's my shallow thinking, but I feel like girls on Raya are looking for a certain type of men. And it's just like the, the, they got hell of fucking money. They're going to meet up with this dude.

It's going to be, it's going to be, that's the Instagram life. Raya girls are looking for the Instagram life. The first time I ever heard of it. And the Instagram men. I think we were in Scuff House and I saw a podcast with Lil Dickie. It was like Charlemagne or somebody. and they were like So how's dating life

And he was like Well I'm trying to get on Raya right now And they're like You can't get on Raya And I was like What the fuck is Raya And it's just tender for Celebbs

For people For people with like Higher social status Very exclusive tender Yeah It's like Okay All right

Weird Weird weird Weird life we live Maybe maybe I should try it Wait I know Nick's not going to care, but what do you mean part of my take shouts out of ECU as top 40 team? To your point about the meaty good earlier, the like 25 to 40 ranked teams in America, how many of those would come from the American? Because that conference.

Who's the fuck about college football? A lot of people. Let me listen. The top of the American is insanely good. Yes, you are right. You got Navy, South Florida, Tulane, Memphis, and North Texas. Whoa. And any one of those teams.

You're missing one. North Texas. They just score. You're missing one. Yeah, I think all these teams are really good. East Carolina's good, too. There you go. Yeah, put it on Carolina, coastal Carolina. Yes, we fucking did. I remember I was listening to a gambling show, just driving around, and this guy was like, coastal sucks, every, but no one understands, like, this team isn't it good? He's like,

I'm hammering ECU, and I didn't know anything. I'm just in the car. Love it. Okay, thank you, Ryan. How do you get into fucking sports? You grow up there. It seems like... Why didn't you go for Hagerstown University? Hagerstown Community College? Oh, that's probably...

I mean, I still could have been like a Terps fan. Why weren't you? Or a WVU fan? I don't know. I just never cared. But you like sports. You were like... I like sports and I've said this a million times.

I've said this a million times. I watched sports up until... say like 2008 or something and then it's like kind of once I went pro and halo I just I'd never watched anything ever I think COVID did it for me like early basketball like the Kevin Garnett Paul Pierce Kobe Shack early LeBron Tracy McGrady

Vince Carter Alan Iverson Tim Duncan Pages Stoyakovich Turk Nowiske that era I watch I love that era There's something, but even football in that area, maybe like, Dante Cole Pepper. Dante Cole Pepper. Torello Owens.

Fucking. I was actually thinking about. Edron James. If you and I were married or, no, hold on. I was thinking if you and I, if me and you played the marriage game with the whiteboards and somebody said, pitch, what's, what's an Eax favorite athlete of all time? I don't know what I would have written But it probably would have been Dante Cole Pepper No

Fuck man Probably Probably Randy Moss Realistically LeBron James I would have probably put LeBron Actually I might have put LeBron It's what it is is LeBron What it

The try hard answer A trihardt answer Would be Randy Moss Or Maybe Vince Carter Or Or maybe an Alan Iverson. When Vince Carter came,

put his arm in the rim, everybody went crazy in the whole damn gym. Don't know that song, what song is. Who the fuck would say that? And trying to make a song. Is that Bow Wow? Yeah, it's the first rap song I ever memorized.

Can you believe it? I do believe it. I'm from the screets like that. I do believe it. Bow wow was a fucking threat. Things Maniac. Oh, I just realized what things maniac hates. Things Maniac hates.

Pick Six versus Tennessee. So it's just... Oh, you genuinely hate them. This is Riley's part of the pod. Oh, the Riley cast. Three miles away. What is this? What is that?

What are we listening to? No, what's on the roof? Three miles away from the stadium during the pick six. Oh, so we're supposed to hear the stadium from out here. Where's the clip? No. I didn't hear anything. No.

You can hear the stadium. I do want to go to a, I think a big Texas game is coming up soon. I do kind of want to go to one. Yeah, like a, like a, like a Longhorn's game? I don't think. What's the team in Austin? The Longhorns. Okay.

Is that the biggest team in Texas? Yeah, they have the best quarterback in the world. Oh, yeah, I think, I think I want to go to one of their games. Get like some decent tickets. Feel the vibe out. Oh, this is why Riley wants to talk about it. It's fucking Alabama. I really, really wish I could get into it, man.

I really do. Shout out Alabama, though, because they looked assed first game. They've won out since, right? Right, Riley? Yeah. Yeah, they're going to make playoffs. I didn't think they were going to, but they're going to make playoffs. It's the only fucking, it's the only thing I can.

It's the only sports that I like. College football? College football and international soccer. Those are the only sports I like. Let's go USA World Cup. Yeah, we're going to win the World Cup this year. People have been talking about it. Lamar Jackson, just getting, that shit looks fucking good.

That looks so good. That's, it looks so good. Oh, my God, dude. Well, today you got a... Said you didn't sleep too much last night. Today you got a big tournament. Yeah, it's our first land that we're throwing. Hector

Hex Invitational Hex was like In the passing Somebody could probably find the clip He goes He goes You know what I'm gonna do I'm gonna contract

I think he said TST I'm gonna contract TSD To do a Cod4 tournament And Usually when Hex says stuff On the podcast Like nothing really comes of it

But I was like I don't know I was like if you're If you really want to do this We can do this And he was like Yeah let's do it So we put together

um mwr invitational a $20,000 tournament that Hex is providing all himself there's no sponsors he's

what the fucks he got been going on he's bringing I don't think this has ever been done he's bringing cash $20,000 in cash to the venue

or to the hex quarters and he's paying people out in cash as they get eliminated I need my Spector Royale money Spector Divide and trust me

same and it's never coming it's never coming yeah no it's not coming but uh I didn't know Hax was just pulling out 20 is it 20 or 25 20? Uh 20

just 20 fucking how do you even get 20 how do you get 20 racks out so my to go to the bank? I don't know that type of shit prop with his that he walks in Hector Hector here's a cigar

here's a tequila soda how much did you want out today? 20 you said? That's it. Oh, so it's a small day for you. So we got team. Let's do some predictions here.

Scump, Merck, Karma, Zinney. Solid roster. I see, you know, I see some self-selfishness. Self-lessness. Self-listeness on this team with Damon. Zinney, probably he'll know his role or chat would just fry him. Merck's going to somehow be MVP. and then Scump's going to be

Try Hard Scump because he desperately needs that cash money Huck Shotsie Mbo's Ili I don't MWR were they Were they good Shotsie's never played this game Oh they're fucked then

Bowes and Ily are godlike at this game And Hook is always good So I think that team Sleeper team probably the sleeper team next Crim Six Klaster Hydra Parasite That team's gonna be good too All of this is coming out after this Chuck

Yeah, it's already happened. It's already happened. Well, we'll see if we get it right. Frim clay, Hydra, Parasites. Yeah, I can just a mat. But I think Hydra also hasn't played this game. Oh, really? Parasite's going to be good as fun.

Crimpsix probably knows everything. Crimpsix and Clay probably know everything. Crim and Clay were pros in Cod four. Yeah. So this might... And I bet you, Draza is a grinder. Dros is a grinder. Attach plays every cod.

Timp is disgusting at every throwback. And Spart is also a grind. So I think that team, I think that's probably the most... That's probably the most underrated team. Merck said he's never played? No, Merck told us he grinded this game. Oh. Which is crazy.

If Merck grinded, I'm going to say them. If not, I'll probably have to go with Draza's team. When Cod 4 came out, I think we did the math. When Cod 4 came out, Merck was four years old. But he played the remastered version. But I guess he played the remastered. I guess he played the remastered. As did I.

Look at that fucking. game, dude. What happened to the... I believe I... What happened to the woman I love? I know this. Oh, it's this, this one. This is modern warfare remastered. This is Cod4. This is the original. This is Halo 2. But what you're playing is Modern Warfare Remastered. Right, we're playing the remastered version. It's just, uh, it's very, very difficult to throw legitimate lands. Because I'm trying to find original Cod 4. And also, I think Hector likes the remastered version better than Cod 4. I don't, I don't

He wouldn't say that to like Codheads, but I think I think it's the case. Cod four is awesome, man. Cod four is awesome. Yeah, so these are the difference that, oh wait, it's not side by sides? Oh, there's not side by sides.

Oh, okay, so yeah, this is the difference. Oh, well. I'm pretty sure I grind modern work. Yeah, you and I played it together. Is that when we did like the 2V2 fucking me and you against Blake and George? Oh, yeah, we played for, Hours.

Dude, that was so fun. You and I were on 60 and Blake and George were on the love of the game. Dude, I don't know how they do it. They still do it. Just 4 a.m. Like, I wish I still had love for it. What the fuck? I'll get on.

I'll get on to do my- I think it's Addy. I'll get on to do my four hours. And Blake and George are still talking about their Valorant match that they just got done playing. It's Addy, bro. Everyone that's still grinding. No.

Like, no one ever takes Addy. And then stops Addy and they're still on that grind. You don't think so? Name one. Ninja. He's still on. I don't think so. There's no one.

I don't. I would, I don't, there's got to be somebody out there. I'm saying there might have been a crackhead who took to lunch. Kail. Huk. But he found like spiritual. But Hook was, no, hook was on some like, He wasn't taking it, he wasn't taking it like a man.

Hook was taking like, doctor recommended him out. And he would like, didn't he say he would only take it at tournaments? I'm talking about when you were grinding every, every sesh, you were taking Addy to play. People who go through that phase for like a year or more, try to stop and you'll never look at video games to say. There's not one person who just, who stopped. I used to think Dautouche was taking Addy He's just a he's just a grinder He just loves it

He told me he he hates it He told me he would take Addy He told me he would take Addy but not Game Like he would take Addy For like a long Yeah Fucking bender

For like when he was in college and stuff But when he started gaming he never did it I thought because he'd be he'd do 12 12 14th He's gonna be a long one today He still does He's been playing Battlefield 6 for 12 hours a day Like how but he hates it I don't I don't know

It's his addiction. And he'll be like, I hate gaming, but he'll game, he'll game the finals for nine hours. And then he'll play Apex hit Predator. And then he'll play Battlefield. I'm like, bro, what? Another 12-hour stream today. Join boys, yesterday was fucking miserable and I hate myself. But maybe today will be better.

But we're going to keep doing it. But we're going to do it again. We'll have to do it around the bar about it and get real in depth. I never felt like I was. Drink and talk about like drug addiction. Yeah. Okay. Well, that's drink and talk about how bad I am as an addict.

Yeah. And how much of an addict I am and how. You went to rehab and talked to other alcoholics. Yeah. And I go to AA meetings and then what cheers? Yeah. Sure. We can do that.

What was I about to say? Oh, I don't think I had, I was addicted to benzos. Um, but it wasn't like I was taking them to like, uh, fucking just like, I'm relaxed and chill. That's what we, uh, like I was taking them because I was like my heartbeat was always fast. I always felt like adrenaline going. I always felt scared and paranoid and like there was some fear inside me and my social anxiety. And I would take it just to like, I just tried to like, just to try to feel normal. Or at least what I thought normal was.

the addie is what i was fucking abusing the shit out of just staying up for days and days wake up take 90 that hits take shower get out take another 90 i'm on 180 i sit down i'm just starting uh you know play for a few hours take another 60 i'm on 240 by then and we're about six hours into the sash and we got three more days to go and i would just keep it going um and that was that was and that was over a decade. I didn't abuse it like that was that was 20 that was 2019 into 2020 yeah all of 2020 didn't leave my apartment for like nine months. But before that it'd be lesser amounts.

I wouldn't stay up for days at a time, but I kind of would like people would see it at the scuff house and stuff. But it was more up and down, up and down and up and down. I would take for, you know, I'm kind of in my room for a week. Then I don't take for like three or four days. to sleeping. Then boom, suddenly,

oh, let's go to the gym. Yeah. And then maybe hit the gym session for a week, and I'm going to change a little bit, and I'm not, and then that was more up and down.

I wasn't taking as much. And then eventually, it just got real bad. Do you remember? Because it's been so long now. She's got worse and worse. It's been so long now that I kind of forget the feeling. Do you forget the feeling or no?

You never forget that. I kind of do. No, I, uh, I think I would feel it now and get scared. Same. So would I?

100%. Because I've been places where people have... Like, I've been places so where people have had Coke and they've offered me and I've been like... No, no, because it would be the same. It would be the same feeling. I know. It would be... But like it gets me...

Like, it kind of makes me... I can't believe I... Like, I want to, but it's like, now's not the time. The only... Have you... The only three times... That sounds bad The only three times I ever even thought about it again

Was doing was planning both off seasons And Doing my last vision Because I did a vision And when I was sitting there editing the vision I was like oh my God I remember how I used to do this And I was just like

And that's probably the same when you play Halo Same when I play fucking anything And it's so weird because I've said this a thousand times but when I don't take I do not want to play a video like I don't want to sit at my computer

and like play a video game I'd rather sit at my computer and just talk and talk with chat or something watch videos watch some watch party whatever now when I do take I don't want to talk

all I want to well there is that moment sometimes when you're peeking to where you start talking you put on a rap song you're fucking rapping with it you fucking you start getting chills and shit to your own wraps but then that kind of dies and you go zombie mode and then you then you're just straight locked in on the game and so when i take all i want to do is play video games i don't want to go out i don't want to do anything i don't want to fucking gym i don't want to eat clean i don't want to cook i don't want to fucking do anything i all i want is video games don't take i don't want any video games at all it's weird it's a weird feeling man it's a weird feeling but
