All right. Are you going to test the levels like Matt Craig does? Jesus. No. Shossett. Matt, Matthew Craig, the,

Craig, you guys probably don't know this, but his name is Matthew Craigson the first. Matthew Craigison? His name is Matthew Craigson the first. Why am Matthew Craigson? Matthew Craigson. Matthew Craigison.

The first. Yeah. So not first, second, third, fourth, or fifth. Yeah. It's a little bit of a mix. It's just a little bit of everything. Yeah.

He's out sick today. He's got the vid. Does he? Who gave it to him? Wasn't me. No, you didn't have the vid. You had some made up fucking. I know who gave it to him, but I cannot say who.

I can't say he has won a Halo and a Call of Duty World Championship. So it could be anyone in Optic. That's pretty cocky to say. Yeah, I didn't have the vid. It wasn't me. Oh, yeah. See? So you just don't know.

You just do. I don't know who it could be. Definitely not. So usually Matt leaves, but Chastin's, this is first time setting up a flight cast. So he's probably just going to, I guess, sit on the floor for an hour. Yeah, is that what we're going to do? Oh, my God, I didn't even think of this. You did it.

Yeah, usually Matt leaves. As you guys can tell, the camera angles are way different. Yeah, Shawson fucked these. We might as well be sitting on the floor. The lighting's pointing. We're just roasting. The lighting's pointing over this way. I don't know. Welcome back to Flycast episode 7,000.

Obviously, it usually, what's up? 7,000 and one. Oh, in one. Oh, in one. Oh, yeah, yeah. We're supposed to have these big Quarilloid bags, but our man, Matthew Craig is in the first. He got COVID, so we haven't been able to set them up yet. But soon we will be lounging.

Is Corderroy the first official Flycast sponsor? It's like the title spot. We have like a title sponsor. I don't know what that means. Sorry, I'm just the little guy. That's not. You know how some... I'm setting this up to explain to the peasants listening.

Oh, to the peasants. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Who obviously don't know what a title sponsor means. The podcast brought to you by Kudoroy. Boom. Title. But then it's...

Okay. Then the title. So it's title sponsor. Is that pretty much what it is? For those listening, I didn't know if you wanted to break it down even more. For the dumb idiot peasants. This dude just went for a bicycle kick down 1-5. Yeah, let's get this one thing.

Let's get this out of the way. Who's the best? Who's the World Cup? It's not, well. There's a lot we can get into with the World Cup. Just because. Because you're a hater. You don't like something.

Fun fact, I was a hater. But now you let's like that. Another fun fact, I'm not as much of a hater. anymore. What changed? Whenever we were in Colorado and I was watching some of the games with some of the boys, you know, kicking back, brusky in hand, 11 a.m. Yeah, I don't.

Hammered. No, not really. We didn't do any of that. But we did watch the games. And who was it? Mexico versus Japan. I could have just made that up. I can't remember.

Mexico versus someone. And I think Mexico had to score three. they had to at least win three to zero to advance. They had to win like three zero to advance. Yeah. And then they were, I think it was tied game. Then like Mexico scores a goal.

And I'm like, everyone in the stands with like Mexican jerseys, Mexico jerseys on is like, yeah. And I'm like, half the game's already gone. You guys got to score like two or three more times. Like, what are you fucking happy about? You're pretty,

you've lost. Yeah. And then it's like five minutes later they score again. And everyone's sitting there's like, what? Oh, shit. Then I thought they had to score four times, but apparently it was three to have the probability of advancing. Yeah.

So they're up to nothing to like 30 minutes or something left. And then I think, do they score again? Oh, they scored again like two minutes after their second goal. But it got, someone was off sides. So it's like they scored again and I'm like, what the fuck? Like standing up and I'm like screaming because I was like actually getting. And I'm like, no, there's no way they're going to, like, advance off this or whatever. Then they score, like, three goals in, like, 10 minutes.

I could be butchering the time, but this score, like, two really quick goals back to back. And I thought they, like, were pretty much going to advance unless, like, the other team scores, they somehow lose or fucking something. But I was like, no fucking way. Oh, my God. And I was, like, one of those people in the stands just, like, screaming and shit. And I was like, this is, this is it. This is what they feel. Dude, do you know, remember whenever we would, like, lose, I would tweet this, like, GIF or this video of this guy kissing the Shazoo.

So the story behind that GIF is actually kind of crazy. I feel like you'll appreciate it because you like this kind of stuff. So, not national teams, but, like, club teams, they do something. There's, like, a big tournament. It's basically the Super Bowl. But you and Blake were on because we talked about it in the last Black Cash. What we were on. Weren't you and Blake on a club team?

Yeah. But I'm talking about like... No, you're on... Well, that's not... You guys... No, no, we were on like a... Oh, I was thinking... Pop Warner, yeah.

Oh, okay. No, I'm talking about like... Like, like, uh... The Top G Club James. Have you ever heard of them? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I thought that's who you guys were... Anyways, well...

So, uh, in the biggest tournament for, like, club... For club teams, uh, it's called, uh... Or it, they, they do this thing... I could be butchering this, and I'm sure. soccer fans or football fans are going to get pissed but uh it's called an aggregate i'm kind of new to it but i believe you play one match at home and then you play one match away and then you add up the points from both mat or the score from both matches i don't like that and then you that's how you go through and so the the the i believe the story behind that gif is barcelona

plays at home and they win three zero against liverpool and so the the the the i believe the story behind that gif is barcelona and so they're basically through because they're not going to get beat 4-0 because they play 90-minute games and it's lucky if you see a goal, correct? But I hate it. And then they go to Liverpool and they lose 4-0

and get put through... How do you win three... Wait, who were the teams? Barcelona and Liverpool? Barcelona and Liverpool. Do Barcelona wins... I'm fairly... I could be getting that all wrong, but...

Barcelona wins three. I don't really watch a lot of club And then they go to Liverpool Lose 4-0 Yeah And then that's good So the guy who The guy who kisses the jersey

That's after getting He went there Yeah And his team lost Like against all odds And he's thinking Yeah And he's just like

Yeah Well I can And that's why I think that get that I mean I was tweeting I tweeted I started it as a joke But like Loki

Sometimes that's how it feels To be an optic fan Just like especially before like major one because major whenever we won major one last year and like that was like such a it was like a such an emotional moment because we haven't won so long and that's just kind of how it fell it's just like damn i wonder if other orgs feel that way about their org because i'm like do you really care if the mutineers won or like whoever the fuck else is like winning out there it's like it's like it's like it's only fun to be an optic fan I mean not okay if you work for the org or if it's like

because when I was on the mutineers and they won I was kind of like I was like oh shit like in frosty I think won with them right so I was like I was kind of hype about it but that's just like a fan I mean that's a different that's just a different mentality for you because am I bias? Yes I guess there's a little biases in there you mean are you bias you're in optic yeah optic changed your life of course you're

Yeah, I guess so. You got to think about it from perspective of like somebody is watching Halo 5. They got it on the PC or the game pass. And then they're like, damn, I kind of like Halo 5. And then they find Frosty. And then they're like, oh, this is the best Halo 5 player

of all time. Then he makes the switch to Call of Duty. And you're like, oh, well, I love Frosty so much. So I'm going to watch Call of Duty. Now you're a Frosty fan. Now you're a Mutineers fan. And then you're like, there are people like that. But yeah, I mean, I kind of get what you're saying?

Who? What other teams has there been like? because every event it's an optic crowd. But what other teams have, like, battled with Optic? Like, their crowd. I can only, in Call of Duty, I can only remember of one time. Well, yeah, I can only remember of one time. And it was, it was the kickoff tournament for advanced warfare.

The only time the crowd's ever been 50-50. And it wasn't even like they were 50-50. With who? Phase. Yeah. Because all of phase, all of them, the original house, Temper Banks, like all of them. And then like Keemstar was in the crowd and he was in phase at the time.

They were just like trying to get as hype as possible. Were you there, Shelson? Were you at that event? So was it like there weren't as many phase fans, but it's like they made. They were louder. Yeah. And they made them louder. They were just trying harder.

Yeah. And then in finals is Optic versus. phase. That probably helps Optic, though, the fact that a lot of us will go to events. I mean, for sure. It's definitely, it's definitely a really cool thing. I mean, it's definitely shocking going from, just because we, like, the optic fan base is so dominant and like tier, like in like lower e-sports, like, not lower esports, but like,

esports that are like originally on consoles, like, Halo, Gears of War, Call of Duty. like when you go to those when you go to when you went to those events it's like definitely very strong optic and then if you go to a counter strike event yeah I was gonna say what if it's Valoran event dude it's like

I don't even know where all the fans come well it's just because the game's so damn good the fans come from dude they're so fucking many I feel like I need a reality check and go to something like that like a Valorant or a CSGO I mean is that really it as far as like huge

League of Legends Starcraft League of Legends Like you would go there and there's like probably not an optic I mean I guess if we're playing or some shit maybe There's We're not in any of those esports anymore So who do you know who from those Esports was there anyone from those

Esports that had a crowd Like Optic did like a fucking Cloud 9 Has some insane League of Ledden Every I mean it's also like Those E sports are very like like geographically based. So like if they're playing in Brazil,

the Brazilian crowd for the Brazilian team is insane. Like selling out the arena. Like we can we can we can sell out. We went from being able to sell out hotel ballrooms to now being able to pretty much sell out like convention centers. and, you know, like that level. But like there's,

like those e-sports like, League of Legends counterstrike, um, Valorant, they can sell, they can sometimes sell out arenas. It's fucking insane. Yeah.

I need to go there and get a reality check. Because I, I used to, I'm trying to think if like, I was ever sort of like a fan of someone. But I guess like, I played, uh,

League of Legends for a little bit. and there's a guy named Double Lift, and I'm pretty sure he was on CLG, but it was like, I could see myself, I mean, it's sort of different because I was a pro, so I guess maybe I had an ego, it's where it's like it's not like I'd go to this event and like sort of fan boy or, I don't know, something like that.

But I could, I could see myself being like a CLG fan because of someone I was, I played League of Legends, saw this guy, Double Lift, heard like some, crazy story about him who i would say it but i don't i can't even remember if it was double if i could be butcher this but it is yeah that shit's fucking insane but like hearing all that and then

like just how good he was like i could i could be a fan of someone yeah i didn't know how much wait are you saying you need a reality check because you're not a fan of anyone just like i when i think of because the i'm in this esports bubble of like call of duty Halo and console sort of based games. So it's like I think of, I forget where I was, maybe I was thinking, I was thinking at this yesterday or like the day before or something,

but I was like that, I think I was like maybe thinking about like the e-sports awards. But I was just thinking about like the optic fan base and I was like, how the fuck are we the most fan-based people at the events that I go to? Yeah. But I think it's because when opta just what we just do something that like not a lot of esports orgs do is like we

incorporate all of our teams together but do other does brazil do that with their no no see see like i'm thinking of loud and i don't know much about the organizations but like loud the the brazilian the Brazilian team like they're just super they're the best team in brazil so all of brazil that's it's that's their team because then when they travel it's not like like like when optic got knocked out of a if opta got knocked out of a time right this was for valorant yeah when we have a valerant team or when we had a valourant team if opta got knocked out then a lot of people from in a or like the u.s would just go for the next u.s team so they would go for 100 thieves or they would go for you know someone else that got in

so i didn't i always looked at e-sports like i said like the bubble i'm in and i just think like oh optic has the biggest crowd but it's like i need to experience like what else does i just don't think of video of when i think of e-sports i think of the u.s for some reason yeah besides the like league of legends teams and stuff but even for like valerent to hear that the brazil Brazil won the whole thing, right? Yeah. That just sounds crazy to me. Like, I didn't even know Brazil was into esports at all.

Really? No. Like, from the bubble I live in, it's just like U.S., Canada, and occasionally there's some teams from Mexico that pop in there. It's just because we grew up with consoles. That's how I, because I was the same way. Well, I still don't watch like global e-sports. Was it like that in CSGO then?

Since 2019, 84. when CSGO was made. Since the British were coming, since 1540. Since the British. Someone was playing CSCO and they heard the fucking that the British were coming. Right. And that the fucking sign off and they were in Brazil. Exactly.

And that's how, I mean, that CS has been global forever. And it's, yeah. So at the major events in CS that long ago, I don't fucking know how it works. So were there teams from Brazil and fucking Hong Kong? and fucking Greenland and the like the like

the like best counterstrike teams like that's that was my culture shock when we got at first got in a counter strike I knew nothing about counter strike zero things I just knew you couldn't sprint or aim down sight

and and so when we picked up like Shazam and the boys like in 2016 I had no idea people were like yeah well we're like a we're okay for like an in a team and i was like what is that fucking mean i was like and they were like well the europeans are like by far better and that's fucking weird that blew my mind yeah because

in the in growing up in halo in and call duty it couldn't be more of the opposite the europeans like don't have a chance if they do not have a chance if they when the europe when a european team broke top 16 at a u.s tournament it was It was like, damn, European pros. Fucking, like, it was a huge deal. That was for Cod, too. Like, if you broke in the top eight, like, I remember one year, T1 daughters. I could still remember it.

That's how crazy it is. Like, I think it was a European team or an Australian team or something like that. They got top eight at champs. And it was like the most, it was like one of the most talked about things from the whole, like, years just because, like, it took, it took them like, it took a European team. it took them like a eight years or six years to like win an event with a with a bunch of like north american teams there are cons is consoles not pop are consoles not popular in these places i don't get it does it just american made no consoles are popular but they're not i don't i think pc games are way more popular especially mouse and keyboard stuff i think it has to do with like

I don't know. I don't know if it's like accessibility. It just or... Someone leave a comment if you're a foreigner and you grew up with a mouse and key. What the fuck was that like? What the fuck were you playing?

Like, are they playing Mario on the, on PC? Or it's just Counterstrike from age five. They get home from pre-K. And then it's just... Homework is like winning three CSCOs. And then... That is weird, though, because like, me growing up, I would, I, like, sort of got into PC young.

I'd never got into PC. Our PCs were shit. They could have played, my PC was so shit. PCs are like, like, I remember, like, I didn't even, I had never even given a thought to, like, playing a game. When I thought of computer, I thought of Limewire. Right. Like, let me, I had never, I, you're not emailing. Didn't even think of a, I played World of Warcraft, I think in ninth grade.

and I was barely allowed on we had dial up like it was fucking it was so fucking stupid and I just can't imagine all these all these other countries just had like yeah see like that was their thing I had uh the only thing that I had tried was a classic runescape

I tried runescape for a little while you could play on the desk on the browser I think I think you just get on the browser you just said he just called me a nerd while you're trying to get on world of warcraft on dot aisle up. You're nerd. I was milking cows. You were...

What's more nerdy, RuneScape? World of Warcraft. There's... That was the nerdiest shit I've ever fucking said. That's actually a good question. What is nerdier? I don't really know anything about... Is it nerdyer to... Here, let me ask it a non-biased way. Is it nerdyer to... Get the chat involved. To survive, like, you know, a land.

Or is it nerder to get the man on... them with the spell and get the backside and the... See, the thing hit the backside. See, the thing is, I don't even know anything about RuneScape because it was so fucking nerdy. And people were just playing Dungeons and Dragons and RuneScape. If you were a nerd. Are you a brute or are you a...

A mage. A mage. Force field. See, I can't fight this because I don't know anything about Shitscape. And who just scored? It's six to one. Yeah, it's over. It's six to one.

what are we around how did we get to this when you wanted to know who the best soccer player was because it all comes back to location which brings us back to the world cup damn damn yeah i guess that is kind of how fucking started while i was like sick and and dying at the fake sick yeah yeah how was your trip uh it was the worst experience i don't think you got to like you haven't talked about it publicly uh talked about a little bit on the podcast this morning. This will probably be out first. Yeah, it was hell.

It was the worst. Literally the worst, I think the worst night of my adult life. You haven't been that sick before? No. I was like, I was like fighting demons. I was like physically fighting demons.

Did you say how this, the timing of your sickness did not. All right. So before we even go there, or before we go to Colorado on the optical, winter trip. I think it was like a few days before, a week before, you were like, let's not schedule anything for the times of the USA match. Yeah, the U.S. Iran match. We're like, we win it to get. And then they put, we had the snowboarding shit like directly

in that time. And then we all wake up. We're like, all wait, where's Hitch? There's like, oh, Hitch don't feel good. Then I was like, yeah, like, I, of all people. would fake an injury for an optic thing. I was like, I kind of, well, I didn't think your sickness. I figured you were sick. I was like, he definitely doesn't feel good.

I was, if I would have drank that night, I'm scared of how I would have felt. Because I woke up in my, it was the weirdest fucking feeling with that altitude. Like, it sounds sort of dramatic. And I guess in a way, we are, well, I'm being a little dramatic,

but like, it was fucking weird. Almost every single person woke up and said something about a headache. And I woke up, I didn't drink anything that night. I was drinking a bunch of water. I was like sort of feeling off, but not that bad. But I was like, no, I know if I drink, like, I'm going to wake up tomorrow. I'm going to be just not at my best. So I didn't drink.

Everyone else sort of drank a little. I think you might have got drunk a little bit. I had like two drinks. there was one at one point I saw you and I was like I'm pretty sure he's drunk yeah I mean might have been after the second drink

yeah well the altitude and shit like it does make make it fucking hit hard yeah but anyway first night get there go to sleep next morning we're all going to leave and it's like where's Hitch

it doesn't feeling good I mean I was like so the USA I'm thinking I guarantee Hitch doesn't feel good I'm sure but I was like maybe he just doesn't even want to fucking snowboard

or do this shit either because unless you know how to snowboard it's not that fun it actually fucking hurt I had fun I actually did have fun the first little bit

like the there's like a train I don't I call it like the training hill and then the bunny slope and then after the bunny slope is the entire fucking mountain so I was like the

training hill that's super fucking easy like there's not just go down then The bunny slope. Some of us, George and Lucid, like, we're struggling to even, like, get pulled up the thing because it had some electronic thing that goes around. Then you grab it and then it just, you just ride your snowboard up while, like, holding

on to this thing, drags you up there. Some of us were having a better time than others. I thought I was the best. I was like, I'm getting a hold of this. Like, I skateboarded a little as a kid, but I just always think I'm, like, athletic. like D1 athlete and shit. I just always think I'm athletic and can like do this sort of stuff.

So I was like, oh, I got the hang of this. This is easy. And I wiped out like one time on the bunny slope, but it wasn't bad. I got up. I thought I was going pretty fast on it. And like everyone was sort of struggling. You saw everyone falling.

Nothing crazy. But then when we got to the mountain, it was completely different. I can't believe like more people don't get hurt. It was so. I was having fun up to that point. I was like hype. My dopamine was going because like I got this.

Now we're going up to this big hell. My adrenaline started going. I'm like, I think I know what I'm doing. But once we got up there, it was I went on. I think me and Matt Craig wrote up together. I think we waited for like two other people behind us. And then they might have waited for two other people behind them. But I was like, fuck this.

Like I strapped in. I just jumped and I went. And I was fucking flying. Like I'm talking like some Disney channel movie this. this young kid shredding down the slopes like but it was so like scary and then I fell and it hurts so bad and then I got up again

and I just I couldn't stop going left and I just keep going left and eventually I like end up in the woods I fall hard as fuck I'm off the trail and it hurt what was not fun was just falling and it hurting that many I fell down that mountain

that one time I went up the mountain came down. By the time I got down, I felt at least 10 times. And every single time was on my tailbone. So it was just like, I didn't know if you had an experience like that before. And you're like, honestly, you're like, I'm gonna just chill. Like, I don't feel good. So it's like, y'all do that. Don't want to be outside and like all that shit. Like, because it is fucking five, it was five degrees that day. So I'm like, he's probably sick. Like, it wouldn't be good for him to like be out in this cold as weather. I'm sure he doesn't feel good. Probably doesn't have. like want to do this physical shit but then we got back and you were still dead and then you were

just i didn't see you i don't think to i didn't see once i went to bed that first night i don't think i saw you till like the last dayish yeah i mean i wasn't even when i got even when i got back so like when i got down the mountain i was like that's why people uh a couple people thought it was altitude sickness because when i got down off the mountain my headaches started going a little bit Well, the whole time up there you had a headache and just... And never went away. And it, but it wasn't like a headache like, oh, my head hurts. It was like a piercing.

It felt like I was getting stabbed in the eye. That's what it felt like. It felt like somebody was stabbing me in the eye, or repeatedly. Were you puking? No, I almost, I felt nauseous the whole time, too. I had the trash can by my... That's weird. I had the trash can by my bed and everything.

Dude, it was seriously, it was so bad. And it, and I, honestly, I felt like, dog shit until yesterday morning. Yeah. I ate like, I've said, I ate like three meals in a week. Like,

like, hell yeah. Three meals. So the diet's going well. I, yeah, hell yeah. You got a fucking kick.

Got a kick start. Yeah. Kickstart. A head start for the diet. But yeah, no, it was, it was like fucking hell,

dude. It was so bad. Yeah, we literally didn't. See, I thought you were gonna pop back out. So did I. Wait,

so I guess it, I don't, I haven't, I'm guessing you like Google would alcohol or not alcohol altitude sickness because I don't even know what the fuck that means but I do kind of get it

because I swear if I would have got drunk that first night I would have woken up probably wouldn't drink water I would have woken up feeling like because I woke up feeling like shit maybe slept three hours like could not sleep I was hot fucking it was just weird

it was so weird I just could not sleep at all like the beds were even comfy I had no reason but I just couldn't sleep maybe slept three hours, kept waking up. So I can only imagine how I would have felt, but I guess altitude sickness is a thing. I can sort of see it. It is fucking weird, though.

It was like, were you experiencing, like, hard to breathe? Dude, yes. I could feel it in the bus drive on the way up. Yeah. And it's, because I've been to the mountains before. Because in North Carolina, there's mountains. There's mountains. It's like a mountain raise.

The Appalachian Mountains. but like I looked up the the level of like the mountains that I go to. It's like his little tiny mountain called Hanging Rock. It's like a 30 minute drive up the, yeah, yeah. You go to the campsite. You can climb the hill or you can climb the mountain. Dog, that mountain is a hill. I looked it up.

It's got like, I don't know the actual thing. Let's just say it's like a 3,000 elevation. I think what were we at? 9,000. It was 9,000. Three times. bigger. The mountains that I went to were

one third of the size of where we were staying. Yeah. And when you go skiing, you go up just even more. It's like it's fucking insane how high that the like ski lift would take you. Is the ski lift scary?

Kind of. Yeah. I mean you're just dang Yeah, I mean it's pretty sketch. Like I was with Matt it was just me and Matt Craig and I was like I could literally just like push you and you're dead i mean i didn't say that to him that's just in my head he didn't know i was thinking that that's scary but in my head i was thinking that because i'm surprised more i wonder how many people die on skeeley oh yeah i wonder i want to know how many people get hurt like me except i didn't really get hurt even though my tailbone hurt for like my back was sore

my back's been sore from just falling so much but how many people get hurt leave and like they the snowboard what the ski place never hears about it like the amount of injuries that probably happened but like people are just like oh fuck no i think i fuck my back up let's get out of here dude i don't understand because where we were there it seemed like there was a bunch of people not a bunch but it seemed like there was a decent amount of people there but the slopes we were

going on like the training and the bunny no one was on those it was just us and like this other group so it's like where the fucks everyone at so everyone pretty much 98% of the people there seem to be coming down the big mountains

which the training that the bunny then I keep I don't fucking know the name of them but the first mountain which is the easiest mountain like it didn't even seem like a lot of people were on that but that was I'm telling that was the that was the hard one for me

that's what I heard I heard that was like and George we talked about this on the fly cast but we were on the same head space and thought process but like we were both like well before he he said he thought he was like I'm not ready for this but in my head I was like yeah fuck yeah I'm gonna do this like I just need

to just go a little bit it starts getting too fast stop but it was just not that easy but yeah sure george told me he was like dude if the if the instructor didn't come get me that's what i'm saying i still be up that's what i'm saying i don't understand how more people don't get that's so funny because more people don't fail so for my understanding there was a training there was a little bunny hill and then so the first actual like starter thing that's is like the jump is crazy the jump is crazy from like learning how to ski like think of crazy

and then it's more than that because I knew it would be different and I could see up the mountain but it goes where you can see up the mountain and then like double that it's just it's fucking it really puts into perspective like like if you watch like the X games

it doesn't make sense like I don't know how that's legal what do you mean X games no like how it goes from the bunny slope to just literally a mountain. I don't understand how that's legal. There needs to be an in-between for people like me.

Because I feel like I would have... I want to go back. It kind of like pisses me off thinking about it. I forget what I was... I think I might have been watching something yesterday. Well, I will say I will never I'll never fucking go back to anywhere that high up. I don't think. No.

I literally thought the house was haunted. Did I tell you that that's how bad it got? I was like... You were in that... kind of mindset. I feel so bad and I was walking around like this because I couldn't open my eye because my headache was so bad. So I was walking around like this and I was like, this house has to be haunted. That's so gross looking. I don't know why, but that's so gross looking. I saw you getting uncomfortable. So I kept doing it. I just started looking at Shawson. And I turn around 10 seconds later, you're still looking at me like that.

But yeah, it was, well, you heard, wait, did you think it was haunted before? I thought it was haunted before. Someone's what, door slammed? Dog, think about this. I thought it was haunted before and then doors started slamming the last night.

Why would, because you're sick, your first thought is, I was looking around, I was looking around my particular room. There were no vents in my room. This is how, this is how crazy I got. There were no vents. You had nothing else to do in there.

There were no vents in my room. and my room was at least 15 degrees hotter than every other room. It was like... Every room was pretty hot. It was like a sauna. It was like 90 degrees in my room. Do you have a window? Yeah, I had both windows opened, and it was two degrees outside.

Both windows were open, and it was still hot in my room. It was weird. And I was like, where is the heat coming from? That paranormal heat? Yeah. It was the demon that lives in that room. room and whoever stays in that room if they're staying at that Airbnb they're going to get sick I can guarantee it they're getting sick something not because of me because of the demon that got

me sick something was weird about that well not I didn't have anything weird but it was hot as fuck and no one could figure out how to turn the thermostat down none of the thermosat to actually work everyone had their windows cracked uh you text what was it like 5 a.m when you texted the group chat about someone's door fucking banging. Dude. And you thought it was like the front door or someone. George says it was his door and one of so I heard I kept hearing doors like slam.

I didn't hear anything. I can't believe. I was in the basement though. Maybe that's why. And George says it was his door which one or two of them for sure were, was George's door because his door was

So his window was open and my window was open. So like the draft was just like closing the door. But dude, I heard it like a good. I heard it like 15 times. Really? And one time I heard it, it was loud. Like that's the time I texted because it was so loud it rattled my room. Was that like one of the first ones?

Yeah, that was the first one. That was the very first one. The very first one. It was like, V-hmm. Yeah, because I think George said, I guess it woke. What was it? His bedroom door?

his bedroom door which was this when i'm laying down his bedroom is that way and the front door is this way and i heard it on the front door and he was like now that was my bedroom door wait was he in the pink room yeah he's in the pink room oh so he's okay we're sharing a bathroom so there's one door basically wait he's saying wait was his door down this little hallway yeah yeah but then you're all's you're sort of near the center of the house you go through the through the bathroom and he's like on the edge of the house

and the pink room. Right. And then he had a door down that little hallway. I didn't even go down there. So I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah. But you heard it I was terrified. Towards the front. I heard it for it. Something,

something could have been going on. I had a fun time though. I am, I will say it, everything looks like so much fun. Like it, that's, that's why I was, I was so upset. Because I didn't even, I didn't get to watch the US game at all. Like, I didn't get to watch it. Yeah. I didn't get to hang out with my buddies. I'm telling you, we...

I brought that whole CRT there. Yeah. As a carry-on, I didn't get to play Smash that much. It was like, I was like, fuck. Even I played Smash a little bit. I got... You're pretty good? No, I didn't.

I played a little bit. Definitely didn't get good. Learned some controls. Yeah. Lucid was really good. Like, there was... Who was it? I think me, Sabas and Alex

against... lucid just in a 3 v1 and it would literally get down to the last like player trying to fucking beat him who'd he play at as fox or some shit fox yeah um

that was fun played and then eventually I got a little bit better um yeah I just liked how it was sort of not to make you feel like you missed out but it was very the camaraderie was there like everyone was like hanging out with each other

yeah it was just fun I like trips like that with like i used to always try to get the halo guys to go on trips like that where then i feel like those are the those are my favorite trips to do i think like going with your friends to some place and and even the cost isn't even that much it was yeah it wasn't that bad 12 what was it sleeps 12 or something 12 can sleep 12 could sleep more than that if you like say you and your significant other share a bed Yeah

Like and maybe I don't know how much it was 700 800 800 a night But it's like you split that You have to do is share it with one demon Yeah I mean that's the worst That like goes to get people say

Which isn't even Having a demon in your room Is not that bad It's not that bad It's like it only won As long as like 50 bucks a night demons were

Yeah I'm still recovering I think I think people should People need to take vacations like that I kind of want to do another one. I think, I mean, I love, I love where like the, the content part is headed.

Like the content is like, like, content like trips like that. I, I think that's, those are really cool. Because it's something we never, we never got a chance to do. We haven't ever gotten a chance to do an optic because all of our, all of our, like, everyone's just always playing or. Talent is, yeah, they're all e-sports players. And now we actually like have creators. So did, uh, did my first hot tub. stream there. How was that?

Pretty good. I mean, it's just not the same when it's me, Sabas, and Lucid in a hot tub. Yeah, I get that. I'm like, why is there not thousands of people watching this? Right. But then I'm like, wait.

If I go to pools, hot tubs and beaches category and I just see three dudes in a hot tub, I'm probably not watching. So I messed up on that part. Yeah. You needed to, yeah. I thought you just put hot tub in your title. I think you needed to hit Bumble first.

Yeah. Get some friends over. Yeah, I just thought you put hot tub in your title. You get in the hot tub or kitty pool via apartment. Whatever, like, whatever you have to work with. Yeah. Or just get in your tub in your apartment. Throw a bathing suit on and you just get rich.

It's still, it looked like a vibe. The picture of y'all three just. It kind of was a vibe. Like a bottle of Jack or something. thing we um with this was the final full day of us there um woke up it was probably oh the production went snowboarding yeah so we were just chilling had like three hours or something and then it's sort of i don't think we definitely didn't plan on it but we were just like sitting there i think we watched we were watching a soccer game so i'd like two hours left and i was like let's get

let's just get in the hot tub just get in the hot tub stream sabas like set his shit up i set my shit up got a bottle that alcohol does hit you pretty quick up there i was took i was taking baby sips and i was like damn i'm kind of feeling this and i think someone i said if we get 20 gifted subs i'll go i'll uh roll around in the snow that looked so painful it was it was it was of really weird painful painful is the right word but it almost it wasn't that it was painful but there

I feel like there's another word for it because it was fucking like everything you heard from my mouth was like not forced it was like a weird you were going dude I'm telling you it was fucking

you got out of so you got here's what happened you got out of the hot tub The 100 degree hot tub. 100 degree hot tub. You went to the two degree weather. Yep. You got down and did a snow angel. Yep.

And then you sprinted back to the hot tub. Dude, I'm telling you. And got in the hot tub. My feet went. How did your body not shut down? Yeah. I was, it kind of did enter my head. Like something bad could happen from this because my feet, I think the worst was your feet.

Your feet are fucking. fucking bros just standing in the snow then getting down and then by the time you come back put your feet in the hot tub it is like the weirdest you're

when you put your feet back in the hot tub you're no longer like screaming about like the pain of the cold it's like you're screaming because of the pain of your feet going from the cold to the heat and it's like it's this totally new feeling that you'll never feel otherwise yeah that you'll never feel otherwise

besides doing that it was fucking weird No, it looked. When I saw the clip of it, as I'm doing this in bed, I'm just sitting on my phone. I'm like, oh, they look like they're having fun out there. You're just hearing screams and shit outside, laughing. And I'm just, uh, yeah, it looked like, uh, it looked like it hurt. It looked like it hurt.

It looked like it was a good thing. It was worth the 20 gifted though. I'd do it again. I need a stream today. Every trip, every time I disappear, I fall off. Like, even we can. came back. The boss's girl had a birthday party.

We go to that. I drink too much, as per usual. I think the next day. Something's up with alcohol. It's not a good drug. Because it fucking, it fucks me up for like days. I have, me and my girl have just been like bedridden for a few days. So fucking lazy.

And I don't know if it's like the traveling and the alcohol and then getting back, but it's like I feel like I ran into another funk but I think today's the first day I'm getting out of it today's the first day you're not fucking sick today's the first day

I got out of bed yeah I mean yeah I mean I don't today's my first day without a headache since night one of that of that trip I haven't had a headache today I still have a cough

but like have you been bed ridden yes I got out of bed yesterday morning was the first time it was it was it was so bad dude so so so it was so bad i miss hudson's wedding

and that's that that's worse that was bad too because when i got back i was like damn i got like you know i got two days to recover before hudson's wedding and then i didn't get out of bed i couldn't get out of bed both those days i was like man so you just want to give a shout out to hudson mattie miss you guys so glad your wedding went well it looked like it went really great You'd never go back? What?

At the altitude? No, I'll never go back. Do you think it's you, though? Yeah, probably. Or was it just a bad... Demon in the room? I mean, I guess you can't really breathe out of your... No.

You can't really breathe right in the first place? Yeah. I mean, that probably has something to do with it. And when it's weird, like going up the steps, you would go up the steps, you'd feel fine, and then boom, it just hit you, and you're like... It was like... It was different. I remember when we first got there, like, during my first five hours where I could function.

Everyone, when we first got there and got, like, we're undoing our suitcases and walking around. Everyone was walking around like this. Yeah. Like, looking at each other. Like, everyone. I looked at Ellie, and I looked at, like, I looked at, like, both Austin's and then, and then Blake and George and I was like, dude, is it like. It's so, it was so weird. And I swear not even exaggerating.

The amount of time, it was at least half of us, but I'm thinking like three, fours, maybe all of us. The next morning, when everyone was up getting ready, I heard, and I was with Paige and a few others in the kitchen, like making breakfast, but more so just harassing Paige. Yeah. And walking with her while she makes everything. Right. Yeah. But the amount of people I heard asked for Tylenol, like it was insane. like every single person

out of I I pound Tylenol was like the only way I could function like the only it was like literally the only way I could open my eye

I'm done complaining about it now I feel like I've been complaining this whole time but I've just it's more it's less of a complaint and more just me like still surprised of how

of how bad like a headache can get what would your perfect trip be like where where would you want to go as the optic content creative director so i'd want to go where's the next so i would want to go to a mountain but not like a ski mountain like a grassy outdoorsy hikey yeah like a hiking yeah like a hiking experience like so we so our podcast we sit around and we make schmores i thought that's what this was going to be you know

we were going to make s'mores. Yeah. I thought we were going to make smores. I heard there's a, I heard we were going to do a fire, uh, bonfire podcast. Or maybe it was a fireplace podcast or fucking something.

But I thought, I thought that's kind of what this was. Yeah, I'd like to go like, I thought we were going to be in like a cabiny. Yeah, see, I'd like to be in a cabin. Like,

have like, you know, one or two cabins, like a porch, uh, you know, like a, uh, fire pit outside even maybe like camping like legitimate like maybe go camping for a night during the

trip like actually like in a tent and shit like like like like i'd like to do that i mean i think that i think that should be like the next the next thing that we do yeah and then it's not so damn straining on your body i mean but then again i'm the only i'm the only one that was a fucking bitch and stay inside roger keeps calling me soft roger didn't even go because he knew he knew he couldn't even fucking handle it. Bro. He stayed home with the Call of Duty team

because apparently they need Roger. Yeah. They're important. Nobody even watched the Kyle team more. Like they watched the flight cast and that's it.

I'm pretty sure that's, yeah. That's why all the sponsors are calling to us. Call duty team just doesn't. No one really cares. Yeah. Like even the league

only has scuff. Even the league didn't give a shit. They were like, no, you all can replay. Game fuel. Not much. Yeah, they only have like five.

We have Quarteroy. Yeah, they don't have any like title type shit. They don't even. It's not off the Texas bought to you by Quatero. Is it? No. And they're fucking lucky Matt Craig's sick. Because if Macrae was like, what y'all would have saw us in today?

Like, I'm telling you this whole shit. So, Hax is literally giving up his garage because the flight gas pays for itself. Did I say Hex's garage? My apologies. The FoyCast Corteroid garage is about to be kicking off here. We got-changing around here. I don't know if y'all really know what this looks like, but like, probably going to move over there. We're going to take some of Hex's old 90s graffiti art, maybe throw it in the background.

Could get some fly. It could just make some people, have pay people from our sponsor. to get flycass art. That's probably. Put it, put it, put it, put it, put it, put it, put it, put it, put it, put it, put it, put it, put it, put it, put it, put it, put it, put it, put it, put it, put it up a quarter. Liver King's inspiring you still? You go snowboarding. He was shredding the slopes.

He put up a snowboarding clip or something. did he and i was like dude how is he fucking shredding guys a idiot but yeah he did um he did liver king got caught what else is fucking happened Kanye's a Nazi I'm just not sure if I'm no you just get you feel there is sometimes

you just got a headache for me saying that no it's like there is a do you ever get uh there will be like 30 seconds at a time where I'll be I'll think I figured out everything I'll sort of understand why people say stuff

and I'll have the answers but I never write it down so I never remember it's almost like a dream it's like I'll fall into a 30 second dream state where I have every answer in the universe I understand why Kanye I understand why Kanye says what he says

right not that it's right I just understand because I'm I know everything. Because you're at the higher plane for 30 seconds. I, yeah,

I transformed into some higher being for like 30 seconds and everything just makes sense. And it's totally honest. Of course he's going to say something like that because this and that. I just start calculating. Then all of a sudden, all the equations just go in front of my face. I'm figuring it all out. I have every answer that it was ever needed.

But then I forget because I don't write it down. So I got to write it down next time. because it'd be really good for the universe to have. But from a, so sometimes in that 30 seconds, Kanye will make sense. And I'll be like, I know he doesn't actually mean this. He's just saying it for this reason. But then, but besides that 30 seconds, I'm just like, what the, like, dude, what? I don't, I don't really know.

It's crazy to me that there's still people out there holding on. There's still motherfuckers out there. He did make graduation. Holding on See, I'm not I feel like He made way more than graduation Graduation

I know that's the meme But like Twist of fantasy Graduation I can see the gold digger What if there is some elite level Type fucking consciousness That is existing

And he sort of figured it out He's figured out that Hitler Had good qualities It's just It's crazy that he can tweet that fucking thing where it's the Jewish star with a swastika in the middle of it

he tweeted a picture of it and you still see people replying to that saying I guess people don't really understand that this actually is not a symbol of hey this is a symbol from this blah blah blah it's like do you think Kanye fucking West the one who just said

Hitler had really had really good tributes or attributes do you think the one the guy who just said that in a podcast is tweeting out a swastika but it's like why is he saying that star thing

he's not saying it because he hates Jewish people he's saying it because he thinks Jewish people run the world and he for some reason wants people to know that when people already fucking know that that I guess yeah I just don't even

know enough do they I'm sure in some Kanye Kanye has billionaire millionaire problems. And he wants everyone to know the billionaire problems. And a lot of people don't give a fuck about billionaires problems.

A lot of people. A lot of people don't care about 99.9%. Nobody cares about Hollywood problems unless there are people in Hollywood. Nobody cares about billionaire problems unless they're billionaires or people that are surrounded by billionaires. So it's like he wants us to know all these

like behind the scenes business shit. Here's what's happening. here here's what's happening here and a lot of us like did you guys know the head of adidas is exactly not even paying me anymore for my ideas that there's taking they're they're they're procreating the culture and the only reason he knows because he has his grandfather was this guy and his blood and it's like i don't care connie i like your shoes that has nothing to do with anything that i'm ever going to go through my entire life that's i'm sorry conier but Did you fucking know I was stocking shelves while my manager just overlooked us and I was only making nine an hour?

This motherfucker had a whole salary and he was above me in the way they just used us. We were slaves at Food Lion. And it's just funny because like the shit that he's done this forever. The creative director fucking thing that he said about Lady Gaga, it's like super famous. something that Canon is it Canon Polaroid Polaroid

He was like If you look at the web Lady Gaga Is the creative Of Polaroid He's like I fuck with some of Lady Gaga Music

What the fuck does she know about cameras Like it's funny It's funny But like nobody I don't think I would say 90% of people Don't care about The shit that he seems to think

is like such a big deal and maybe it is a big deal but like it might be a big deal to a select few people and it has a trickle-down effect but a lot of us are just trying to get through fucking life not trying to care about who the creative director for Polaroid is

maybe he's saying it doesn't matter the how high or big the problem is everyone has these sort of problems say I'm excuse me

stocking shelves at food line for nine dollars an hour I should have been fighting back the way Kanye's fighting back to the people that he thinks is taking advantage of him. See, it's like moments like that. When I just say it like that, it's like maybe there is something behind it. But he says so much fucking shit.

He says so much dumb shit. It's like, is he being a child and just saying that because he knows of the reaction? Or is he saying it because that's what he like truly believes in? I just think like, a lot of it is some childish, like, I don't, I can't use the word, not that I can't use the word crazy, but like, it's like something's not, I feel like he's just, is how many, like, does he

have anyone close to him that's like not like checking him about this? I think, I mean, I think people are saying he's just burning bridges left and right. I mean, his family, he's, he's, you know, it seemed like he, his entire family, After, like, he's just surrounded, but I feel like he's just surrounded by, like, yes, men. That's what a lot of. And he has, he thinks he's. I think he thinks that anything that, like, he says is, like, considered gold. I think he thinks he's a figure, not like Hitler, but to a point where, like, like, uh, Hitler, like, just these famous icons that are going to be remembered for, like, generation of generation.

Like, he thinks he's that. of like a Obama, Hitler, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, these like figures that are gonna last for like forever in history. Like I feel like he thinks he's that. And he wants to attach himself to that, to like a legacy status. Yeah.

Regardless of what the legacy is. And he sort of understands what the route he has to go to like keep that legacy status. fucking history right that's your 30 seconds right there you knew everything about the world I do swear though sometimes

I do get those moments or you're just like you got it all figured out yeah sometimes Charleston how what's the what's the time say damn 12 seconds am I disgusting you hit that shit perfectly right on the nose

all right I've got the I got the album of the week oh my wait did we I don't think we got your last no we didn't but but I will say I did I

I was listening to a Mortal Technique uh Mortal Techniques album and it is like revolutionary it's very good very intense

it's every song is intense it's all and he does a good job of rhyming though too yeah no he does he does I will say like he's sap rock uh Immortal Technique is not like a put it on in the car and bob your head to it.

More of like a... Yeah, it's... I don't know when you would really listen to it. You put your headphones on and do this. Yeah, I don't know when the time to listen to that would be. I listened to it in the car for like two days straight. But now that I'm over it, because I like sort of got a flashback, like, oh shit, Morton Technique forgot about him.

Yeah. Like this shit was, I was listening to this when I was like 17, 18. This shit was dope. And then I remember listened to it for two days but it's like I don't know when the fuck you're gonna listen to that shit

because that's just like not every day is about starting a revolution but anyways which album Flycast album of the week Flycast album of the week this is an EP that came out in 2020

2016 in 2016 by Mumford and Sons it's called Johannesburg here we go with some fucking not what how is it sorry it's not not rap so anytime it's not rap are you're gonna probably yeah that's what i was joking um so uh mumford and sons i believe they went to south
