What's Happening to OpTic? - Ep. 28 by The Flycast

Damn, I don't got nothing in mine. I know you do, man. That's why we do this together. How's your butt, man? It hurts. Does it? Yeah. Are you horny?

Not right now. Well, I mean, unless you are right now. We can pause. Kind of. I do feel like I looked at porn for the first time. You looked at it? Yeah, I just looked. Well, it's because I looked.

And I don't know what type of shit I was into. month ago, but like, you know, the cookies save or whatever. So, like, still has your... You don't private? Well, it's on my phone. Oh. I don't incognito. Oh, yeah, me either.

But I looked at porn the other day just because I guess I was that horny. And I just exed off after seeing, like, just three of the thumbnails. I was like, I'd rather use my imagination. So maybe that means I'm extra horny. Maybe that's a good thing. Yeah, I think it is a good thing. For those who don't know what we're talking about or why Hitch would ask me, why am I horny? I just got, well, we talked about this last episode.

And then just, I think I'm on day four, but four days ago, I got my testosterone pellet insertions. Hell yeah. It's actually, it was actually a lot more. of a procedure than I thought it would be. Like, I thought it was, like, I thought they would take, like, I thought it would sort of be, like, shots where they just, like, give me...

That's what I thought, too. But I don't know what it is. I think he, like, cut my ass open. And, like, came back with bandages and stuff. And, like, put the pellets and, like, stuffed them in there. Yeah. Because I can, like, see the pellets, sort of.

Really? It's, like, I think, I think that's what they are, like, black dots kind of. They're supposed to like dissolve? And over the next like six months, they're supposed to dissolve. They said if I'm really, they said I have to be active on them for their, for them to work. Like working out, you know, not just sitting around. Yeah.

But they said the more active I am, the more it'll work, but the quicker they'll diminish. So I'm probably just going to go. I guess. We'll see how I feel. I mean, they said I'm on day four. now and they said it could take some he said some people take like well my chiropractor said he felt it and like he's on it too he said he felt it in like three to four days but his was also really low like lower than mine really his shit was like half of mine which is like but he's also older so it's like

i hope that's not me when i'm older right anyways um he said he said he he could tell the difference in like three to four days. And I feel like I sort of have gotten that same sensation. Like if my butt cheek hadn't been hurting, like pretty fucking bad. Like, it's hardest. I can't sleep on my right side. I can't even really lay on my back without it like just feeling uncomfortable. It's like literally a 24-7 like pain.

But it's not like severe. It's just a fucking unannoyance. But some, like if I move right. wrong or something, it really does hurt. But anyways, yeah, I'm on, like, day four. I think I do feel it. I don't know if I said... Did I say this to you earlier?

Like, I get, like, moments where I feel like I can feel something like flushing through my body and, like, almost to my brain as well. And I don't know if that's, like, something else or if that's the testosterone. What do you mean flushing? Like, what kind of feeling is flushing? Like, I'll just... I feel some kind of sensation just, like, kind of going through my body. Okay.

And it almost, yeah, I don't know how to really explain it. And during those moments, have you ever had Restless Leg Syndrome? Yeah. It's kind of like. I've never had it, but I know what you're talking about. I'm in the feeling. When I get that sensation, I feel like shit's going through my body, which maybe it's a testosterone going to where it needs to be.

I don't fucking know. Yeah. But I feel like a little urge of energy of just, like, I can't like sit. I want to just like start punching shit. And that's sort of like restless legs. Like you can't, you just feel like you got to stretch your legs or move them or like get up or something. But I've been getting that feeling the past like two days a little bit. Like today I woke up and tried not really meditating, but I do this.

thing I'll read for 15 minutes I'll get some kind of like gem out of the book um of like how I want to think for that day and then after that I'll lay there for like 10 minutes and just like try to visualize a nice positive day and love and blah blah blah what I want to do for the day and how I want it to be done and during that today I was like I want to fucking move like I felt like I couldn't sit still so I mean hopefully this stuff is kicking in What was your question? No, I mean, we haven't like, to be fair, we haven't like seen each other in like four-ish days, five days, something like that. Like we were on opposite schedules.

I don't think anyone in the house, well, actually, I don't know what you all do. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I think because I don't see that many people in the house except for Aaron. My sleep schedule has gotten worse. Yeah. Like I'm waking up at like noon. So I knew you were going in, but I had it. You showed me the scar, but besides that.

Yeah. Or not the bandage. And I was like, damn, maybe it's working, but. Yeah, because I can show the, I'm not going to show the camera. Don't show the camera. You should save it for a vlog. Well, it might be healed by then. You think so?

I don't know. But, yeah, I showed y'all yesterday. You know, like, oh, that's actually like. It's like a big deal. Not a big deal. I thought it was going to be like a, yeah. That's kind of what I thought it would be. But, like, it's like, like, you can see my whole ass is bruised.

It's like a big bandage. just like red swollen marks. So yeah, it's kind of, like, it looks like I got surgery on it. Yeah, it does. And I think it, like, I was like, I even said to him, I was like, what's going on back there? Like surgery? Because they don't put you under, but they completely numb my ass.

Okay. So all I felt was like the first shot, I guess. Maybe they shot something into my butt and that numbed everything. But that was like the only thing I felt. After that, I was like, my ass is numb. Like, he could be, like, chopping me up back there. And I don't think I could feel it. I think he was.

I think he was chopping you up. He was chopping the ass up. And I couldn't feel a damn thing. Damn. That's crazy. Well, I mean, I guess that's going to be something that we can go back to and see how things feel next week. Yeah, right now I'm on day four. It sucks because I feel I really want to start, like, moving and be active and, like, be running and shit.

I can't. Like, I literally, like, kind of limp around. Right. Especially, like, getting into a car and stuff like that, it's very awkward. But, like I said, we're on day four right now. They said within 10 or I think, oh, it could take up to two weeks to really feel it. But then within a month, I'll be at, like, my peak. Okay.

Within a month, like, if I don't feel something, I'll be like this shit, don't worry. But they're going to test me again in a month to see where my test is at anyway. So, yeah. I got my testosterone injections. Do you know anybody else that's like gotten it besides your other doctor? No. I don't know anyone.

Unless fucking, let's see, I don't think my doctor did. The chiropractor does. And I think that's about it. What are you going on? A tissue? Yeah, I don't really know anyone else besides my chiropractor who has it. I, like, looked up shit online to see reviews. Right.

Yeah, like, I'd never even heard about it. It seems like it's a lot of good reviews. Yeah. So, we'll see. That's exciting. I'm excited to see where in a month where it's at. Is it all personality-based or is it like, does it, is it going to help like your health to, like your physical health? Yeah, like overall, yeah, just health in general.

Right. Like mental or I think it's like it helps with main or would I say maintaining stress or like I guess controlling your stress levels. Okay. Maybe not being as emotional maybe. But I think some other shit too, like heart stuff. Yeah. Just overall health in general. Because I think testosterone is one of the most important.

chemicals in your body. Okay. Like, it's like really important. So we'll see. I'm excited to, I have noticed my, and I don't know if I'm just placeboing myself too,

because like this could totally. Yeah, they could just put sugar back there. Yeah, they could have put sugar back there. And like, that shit works. Like,

there's so many studies where like, the placebo group increases as well. Yeah. But no, It's not sugar in my ass. But I have noticed, like, even getting, even my ass hurting and, like, I seriously can't do that much movement, I'd still been going to the gym and getting, getting, like, really good workouts. Like, I noticed I don't, I've noticed I don't find the urge to just lay in bed.

That's good. Like, it kind of gets me up. Like, I'll sit in my computer chair and shit sometimes. Yeah. Which is, like, different for me, because I'm either at the gym. gym, streaming, or I'm in my bed. Right. I want to say sleeping.

A lot of times I'll just lay there forever. But, yeah, it's, so far it's giving me an urge to fucking, at least work out. I'm honestly, I'm just looking at it like I'm on steroids. Yeah. That's kind of how I'm looking at it. Like, I'm on steroids. Like, when my butt heals, I'm thinking about doing like two a days. Like, I'm about to go in.

Yeah. So I can finally get you to the gym? Well, the kitchen gym? Kitchen gym, both. You're trying to hit some sets in the kitchen gym? My kitchen gym has been going pretty well, actually. Yeah, you've been on. I've been going.

You said Mike, I guess, taught you, or, like, told you some shit to do? Not really. He just said, you should do 30 lunches a day. And I was like, okay. So, besides that. that I really just go in there just to be active. Like, I do curls and triceps, then lunges, and then dip. Do you do, like, any chest?

Not yet. Uh-huh. I will. I'm sure it'll get to a point where I'm like, okay, I've been so consistent with this that, like, I need to start going to the real gym. Yeah. I mean, you could definitely fucking, you could get big from that. Or just do like. Literally that's, like, those dumbbells that change, and they'd go up to pretty heavy weight.

Yeah. Like, there's, you could do everything you need with those. I'm actually close to it. But it's just not as. Yeah. It's just not inspiring being in the kitchen gym. Yeah. It's just easy.

The only reason I go. You're bored at 5 a.m. You'll get it in. Like, what makes you feel like you've done, like, you've done something. You know what I mean? Like that makes you feel productive. It's like helping your body. I was at the point or I'm kind of at the point right now where like my day seems to be consisting of especially I've been waking up later.

Wake up gym food fucking do something. Right. Sit around or something and then food again, then stream and then sleep. And I've been doing that for like a month. and now it's like like at first when you start out you're like sort of proud you're like okay

I'm doing something I'm streaming again like it feels good like I'm getting support the stream's growing but now it's like this isn't enough like I'm not happy

I get a good workout in I get a good stream in and I'm still like not happy about it that's how I am so I get I gotta like figure something out like I'm uploading and I'm streaming but like

I just I want to get better. I want to figure out what to do better on YouTube. That's been what's been on my mind lately. That and I want to get the websites up and stuff. I need to get apparel. Yeah. But that's a fucking, I'm going to have to talk to the guy.

Yeah. It's a little ridiculous. Wait, are you waiting for something right now? We were waiting for, I didn't really know. They said they said they could get it done. this was probably like two months ago or something. And then he just DM me like a week ago saying, hey, in a week we'll be able to embroider everything.

So it's like now I guess I'll wait for the embroidered samples. And then if those go well or if those come in good, then we can fucking launch it. Huh. How much money should you be making per hoodie? I mean, that depends, really. Like, are you? Like, did I tell you my stream labs on my,

stream had the option for people to buy it. Right. Three people bought a hoodie. That don't exist. Yeah. Three people bought the hoodies that don't exist. Or maybe they do. Like, maybe they'll get, like, an invoice or whatever for a hoodie.

Yeah. And then they'll just give them a shit hoodie I don't want. Maybe. That would be crazy. They'd have a one out of three hoodie. Yeah. Maybe they'd like that. I don't know.

But the fact was my... Oh. But the amount. amount I made off, like it said profit or something, profit earned. And that number was so low. I was like, this ain't even worth it. Yeah. Like it was, I think it was literally like 13 bucks for three hoodies.

Right. Is that how merch works? Yeah. Really? Through a distributor, yeah. I'll have to figure it out because I ain't doing that. Right. And those hoodies were selling for like, what, 40 bucks?

45. Yeah. See, that's, and they probably cost. tend to make and then the distributing and then the the the uh but i think this company only takes five dollars from each sale sale really uh-huh that's what i don't know apparently not i'll have to i can like he lives around here and he's down to talk i'll just talk about it i shouldn't i can't be like assuming right i'm sure he's he's not trying to like do any like funny but it's just that's just how merch is.

Yeah, that was, I saw that and was like, $12 on three hoodies. So $4 a hoodie. So if I sell 250 hoodies, making a thousand, like, right? Maybe. I don't know. I kind of. But, like, even that's like, that doesn't even like. Yeah.

I mean, but you're not going to find a better deal, I don't think. I mean, it's going to be hard to, unless you do it through Aaron. I don't even know what that is. Aaron, like, finds his own distributor and runs the prices up and stuff like that. But he does streetwear, which you can do that with. For, like, gaming apparel, you can't really sell $65 t or hoodies because if it just has a I mean, I feel like I can fucking put them as, like, if I get a nice BTAE. embroidered hoodie

with like a nice design like I'm gonna sell them for like right of course 65 right if it's like a champion

style yeah but like that style would those are like $40 hoodies

well how much did these sell for they probably sold them for like 65 you think so no

I don't imagine putting them a crims putting a crimsix hoodie on the website for 45 they probably jacked them up

maybe but they just I don't know maybe I don't know don't think many people care about like quality like that either maybe i'm wrong yeah i think you're wrong really i think you are yeah i feel like we're just people love quality when it comes to apparel for sure i was just gonna say in the e-sports industry yeah i think

just a little gaming nerds people are like really to like it though especially like if it's if it's like branded a streetware like errand stuff then uh people are gonna really want it to be like high quality and Aaron's stuff is really high quality. Super high quality. Is it? Yeah. Because I know it wasn't. Oh, his old, yeah.

His first drop wasn't, but his second drop was really good. Yeah. But his first drop, he, like, bought all the shirts and, like, he pressed it. Yeah. That shit was fucking ghetto. This time. He literally pressed it himself. Like, Aaron literally made the hoodies.

That shit was funny. Yeah, it is kind of dope. It's dope that he did it. Yeah. I don't know where the fuck he pulled that machine out of the thing out of the thing out of the machine out of his ass. Yeah. Where did he get that?

I have no idea. I asked him about it. Yeah, I have no idea. All right. So for our, uh, we'll do a manscape first. I just want to eat one. Okay. Manscaped.

It's a great product. I, uh, I used it. Did you? Yeah. So I used the, as you guys know. You didn't even give me any. Yeah, we only have one.

We only have one lawmower. So Manscaped, obviously. people like people fuck with the llama manscaping products there's uh we right now here on site all we have is the crop preserver which is balls deodorant you said it's smell pretty good and then also the refined cologne but i have uh i got i got ball wipes

sitting right next to my uh right next to my desk i haven't used them yet really yeah right next to your desk it's like if i do need them like if you've been there for a minute right like that desk no my desk at home I should have them there. Yeah. Because like, fucking hacks here.

You're just five hours into the stream. Should probably. I can't imagine for you. Like, do you feel like a puddle down there? Yeah. Is there anything else you want to say? Yeah.

So, when Hitch gets his puddles while gaming. And it's ass crack. And he gets, um, very self-conscious of what his ball smell like. He could, we could use,

I could use. ball wipes also the so last week we talked about the law number 2.0 and how people swear by it i've actually used it and it's very good very good is it big yeah it's bigger than like a personal tremor it's like a shaver it's like this big and i shaved i shaved everywhere you manscaped i I man-scaped. I also did my... I shaved my chest. Really?

I don't know why. I take an electric one and, like, get my nip hairs and shit. Yeah, that's what I did. It's the first time I've ever shaved my chest. Except with the lawnmower. Except with the lawnmower. I lawnmowed my chest. I don't know why.

It was like, I was about to get the showers, like 5 a.m. And I looked down, I was like, this will give me something to talk about. It gives me a reason to do it. Let me talk about this on the flycust, huh? Just shave the Nike check into it. you should does your chest get hairy like that

yeah he does yeah it gets a little I don't like I've only seen you with I haven't seen you with your shirt off much you can have a lot under there I don't know about well not anymore it's not like more thanks to the lawnmower

manscape yeah so if you manscape.com if you want to use a 20% off code for any products just use Hitch 20 and

thank you so much Manscape for supporting the Flycast and sponsoring it and for making me a baby soft smooth man. Thank you, Manscape. Their cologne smells like grown man. Yeah. You told me that last week. So grown man is like a, some girls love that.

Yeah. Like grown man's in right now. Is it? Because when I was in middle school, it wasn't. Probably not. I'm saying middle school and high school because, like, that's what I remember. But, like, I remember, like, later into college, some girls were like, I love, like, the grown-man, like, woodsy, like, kind of musky scent. I don't know what's in right now.

I see a whole... Yeah, you need to wait for your ass to... Do you need to wait for your ass pellet to... To give me more? Yeah. And then after that's done, then you can figure life out. Yeah. Well, you've got life figured out.

You just need to figure out, like, the sexual side of life. What's in right now? I turn gay. Well, I mean, if you want to, I guess. Or if that's something that comes to you. What if? What if I get a whole bunch of testy? And then I'm like, wow, that looks good.

It's just Ryan Reynolds. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I don't know. We'll find out in a month. Josh texted me. Josh is one of our mutual friends that's really close with Holly. Him and Holly and a few of their friends went to visit somewhere,

and they went to a gay bar last night. That's night. Is Josh still in town? Yeah, he is. He just comes as in rant. It's so random. Yeah, I know. So he went to a gay bar last night and got like five free drinks or something like that.

Josh did? Josh did. Well, he looks gay. Do you think so? Yeah, I like the skinny, kind of like, just skinny, frail. So that's gay, skinny and frail. I wonder how many bodybuilders are gay. Sometimes.

That's what you don't see much of. Right. Yeah. I'm sure, I mean, I'm sure there's a lot of it. They just don't get as much attention as the people that are overly flamboyant, just how anything in life is. People that are way extra are going to get more attention.

Did you ever tell the story on the flycast of how someone thought you were gay? Did we tell it? I don't know if we told it or not. Would you ever tell that? Yeah, fuck it. I don't care. Have you told it, though?

I feel like you may have told it. Or maybe in a vlog? I don't know. You want to tell it? Yeah, we can just tell it. There's a story about how Hitch or... We might have told it already. Oh, well, we can tell it.

We could run through it. Okay. So, so there was a, yeah, so there was a, a girl that I was not talking to. It wasn't that serious.

It was just like, you know. A girl who you've known for a while and you started hanging out with us and talking to a little bit more. And so she was in town and she, she visited. And we hung up. out for like three, four days.

And you, she hung out with us and everybody in the... There's a lot of me in there. Yeah, we hung out a lot. Because I don't think I was doing shit. Yeah. But then we just drank the whole weekend. Right. And, uh, and so it was fun and I had a great time.

But at the very end, I was like, uh, I don't know, it was just something rubbed me kind of the wrong way. So I was just like, I didn't, I didn't know. I don't know. It just wasn't there. Yeah, it wasn't there. Like, the spark wasn't there. And so I was just kind of like, all right, well, like, it was fun.

Like, thank you for coming, like, hanging out. And I said bye. And then, you know, we talked every once in a while after that. But then she, I remember she messaged me and said, like, what's wrong with you? Like, I'm upset. And I was like, why you're upset? She said, you're just not talking to me anymore. And I said something like I was busy or something like that.

And, but I just can't come out and say, like, I don't feel this anymore. You know what I mean? Because it wasn't like, we were like talking, talking. Anyway. So then a few days later, you get a DM on Instagram. Yeah. Well, for a little backstory, Hitch always thinks I flirt with the people he talks still. That's not like a think thing.

Yeah. So he thinks ideal. I think. It's like a, that's like a, I know. My thing is this, he has a friend over, everyone's drinking, having a good time. And I just make sure everyone has a good time. And we do. So anyways.

That was the sketchiest way you could have said that. I guess I didn't really help me out. But, so, yeah, one day I get a DM on Instagram from her. Right. And it said, What did it say exactly? Oh, hey, can I ask you something? And I was like, what?

And all right, whenever she was over, I guess to me, maybe I felt like she might have like gave me, just like eye contact where it's like, oh, she might think I'm cute. Yeah. But it was nothing like I'd never like thought about it again. But anyway, it's one day she DMs me. and uh she was like hey can i ask you something i was like yeah what and then she was like never mind and i was like dot dot dot like you literally have to tell me now like she's just like okay but

you can't tell anyone and i was like okay i won't she was like i'm serious nick like don't tell anyone but i'm about to ask you or something like that that's just like all right what is it and i thought was going to message me and be like, I think you're cute. Yeah, like, hey, I know, like, I was there hanging out with Davis, but I think you're cute. And being Davis, like, aren't really talking anymore, like, something like that. And, but she just goes, do you and Davis have a thing?

Yeah. Like, how did you, I don't remember how she. Does Davis have a thing for you? Yeah, does Davis have a, oh, she said, does Davis have a thing for you? Because that would explain a lot. That would explain a lot. And my response was, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha. I was like, no, I think I literally said like, no fucking way.

I was like, I was like, no, he doesn't have a thing for me. Why do you, why do you? You said, hitch is straight. Did I? Because she said, does Davis have a thing for you? He said, ha, ha, ha, ha, hitch is straight. Oh, I was like, yeah, no, hits is straight. Why?

Or I don't even know if I said why. No, you're just like that's not what I expected. Yeah, I was just like, holy shit, that's not what I expected. And I don't know if she, and then I think she said again, like, don't tell anyone. Yeah. But I don't know. I just thought maybe he did because I would explain a lot. Right.

And why he doesn't talk to me anymore or something. I was just like, then she was like, don't tell anyone. And then Hitch was there. So I was like, yo Hitch. Yeah, look at this shit. Yeah. And then you read it. then just were like no fucking what i couldn't stop thinking about were you like offended i wasn't i wasn't

offended i was just like how it just i was more more more so like it was because i felt bad because i didn't know how to like say that like you know what it didn't go as well as i don't know it's just like that the last day really kind of like i was just like eh like maybe this i mean i maybe we're still friends. I don't know if we're still friends, but I was just kind of like, maybe she should just be like a good friend. And that happened and I was like, okay. So now I don't, I don't have to feel

bad anymore. Like, that was like kind of good. Right. If she thinks that the reason that I, the only reason that you could not be with her would be because you're gay. Right. And banging maniac. Yeah. Well, or

me bang you. That's a real shit. CBD gummies. Take it away. Spilled coffee. CBD Gummies brought to you by JustCBD. Been munching on my damn self. Is there a discount code or something? Let me guess.

Hitch 20. We don't have a discount code, but the company is just CBD. Type it in on Google. You'll find it. My favorite flavor. I destroyed those. Talk about how there's none left for people. There is one sour worm.

left, which is my favorite. And I'm going to eat this one right now. But, yeah. Another amazing sponsor, I think perfectly suited well for something like the Flycash. You know, me and Hitch aren't really too much of pot ads. Not at all. We're CBD heads. Um, yeah.

So there were, we got, CBD gave us two pre rolls and two cups containers of, uh, gummies. Two CBD rolls and 80 gummies. I got eight gummies, zero CBD rolls. I still have one pre-roll if you wanted. But me, Blake and George tore through the gummies. Like, tore through them. I feel like... Because it just tastes like candy.

Would you say you get a feeling from them? I felt like last podcast, I came because anything I start doing, I'm like a little anxious at the beginning. but then I felt kind of chilled out. So they might work. Yeah, no, it's... I mean, the gummies taste amazing. Yeah, they literally taste like...

Like candy. Yeah. And they're probably going to send us more product. They have honey sticks. They have bath bombs. They have... Bath bombs. They have, like, like, lotion.

Like, all sorts of stuff. It's not just... I would like that. It's not just marijuana. Not ever. simulated product. It's like, you know, like bath bombs and self-care and stuff like that. But yeah, I felt they message me and they were like, so is everything going well?

I was like, yeah, everything's going well. I know you sent this product for the whole entire thing, but we already tore all the way through it. So maybe like maybe if we got some bath bombs or something, we'd be able to just set it here and not have to eat it. Yeah, because even I just ate one of them. I already want to eat another one. Yeah, give me the other one. Let's just eat the last two. I'm down to eat the last two. But, yeah, they also have, I think they just have regular, what do you call it?

When you have the plant, the marijuana? THC? No, no, no, just like the regular, the actual stuff you put in a blunt. Weed? Yeah, but it's not weed because it's CBD. You know what I mean? Flour? I don't know what it's called.

I'm asking you. What, the CBD? The actual, like, you know when you see weed and it's like in a ball? And then you break it up? Yeah, it's like that, but just CBD, no THHC. Yeah, it's like, yeah, CBD. Is that called something? I don't know.

I think like CBD flour. Oh, is that what it's called? Yeah. Okay. Like it, it looks just like weed and you break it down, roll in a blunt. Right. You know, spark that shit. Enjoy the night.

Yeah, I think it's for CBD. I think it's called flour. Huh. I could be wrong. Yeah, they have that too. But can we get a round of applause? Round of applause, yes. For the first two sponsors of the Flycast, we appreciate you guys a lot.

Just CBD and manscape. So if you were on the, if you're listening onto one of our audio platforms, which is SoundCloud and iTunes, no, we're not going to do Spotify. No? No. Who the fuck listens? on Spotify. Upgrade your life. Get Apple Music.

I did and I haven't touched Spotify since really. And really, really quick, the website is justcbdstore.com. That's for just CBD. If you've been listening on SoundCloud or iTunes and you just heard me scream fuck and then run away and the Nick took over

is because I spilled my coffee and had to go get paper towels. So that's what all that commotion was. But yeah, Uh, we're going, we're, everything's going well on a sound cloud. Everything's going well on iTunes, but I don't know how to do Spotify. So we're just not going to do it. Yeah, like if you listen to podcasts on Spotify, we don't even want you. Oh my, you know, we don't want you. I know there's some people that like, I'm sorry for the like the thousand people that do, but we don't want you. Just kidding. It's just like every time I would up, we would upload a flycast, everybody was like, what is this going on iTunes? And if. for a long time. It was just like, ugh. You also put this on SoundCloud.

But then I put it on iTunes, then SoundCloud. And now it's like, Spotify is like, no. No. Title. We already did it. Title and Spotify? No, Jay-Z. There's probably something else, too.

I know the eavesdrop is on everything, but. This ain't the eavesdrop. The eavesdrop. I was going to say something like, I was, I was going to talk shit right there. About the eavesdrop? Yeah. Why? Because it's X?

And I want the just more fucking verbally annihilate. What is Hecks ever done for us? Selfish, man. Not much. Not much. I could probably listen on my hand. Yeah. Same.

I could probably listen to my. My hand. My hate. I can probably listen on my. I could probably listen on my chain. Oh, dude. All right. So you want to get into the juicy stuff?

Let's just say, fuck, if you get into the juicy stuff. We haven't done this in a while in the flycast. I don't know what the juicy stuff is. Because I'm always out here. They are. Like, the juicy stuff is in the middle here. I remember when we started. I'm out here.

You're right outside the juicy stuff looking in. So are we going to, are we going to have a job in a couple weeks? Why don't you explain? Are we moving to L.A.? Wasn't there some? ESPN article. Yeah, some ESPN article. I didn't, I haven't read any of this.

I haven't read it either. But basically all I know is that the, according to the article, which to be fair, or just to let everybody know, we have no inside knowledge of anything that's going on. So whatever happens, we're going to find out at the same time. It may be a day earlier than everyone else finds out. So article got leave. leaked or an article who came out saying that there was a leak that Immortals is trying to bid for a spot to buy the portion of Infinite that is looking to sell or the investors that are looking to sell, something like that. So Reddit is freaking out. A lot of people in Twitter are freaking out thinking that, you know, we're just going to be immortals and the optic brand is going to die.

Which I don't know if that's true. I don't know what the fuck is happening. The optic brain ain't going to be optic. If something like that was going to happen. Right. Because, yeah. It would literally just turn into another team. Yeah, it kind of already is that.

With like a few exceptions. It kind of already is that, but not really. Right. But then that would be the official step to where it's like nothing special anymore. Right. but um so apparently people are saying that i don't know there's a lot going on because the c w is looking at a franchise and this is happening or that that's a lot of people are talking about that so that is definitely got to be one of the talks about buying an optic brand the optic brand

is our call duty team so if immortals gets it is immortal is just going to make our cod team immortals. Like, is that how that works? I don't know if that's how that works at all. But also, I've heard that there's two other offers on the table as well or two other people looking to buy, looking to, I don't know. So I have no idea what's happening, but all I know is that we don't know what's happening. We don't know who is buying.

We don't know if we're going to have, if they're going to drop the content creators or if they have their own content creators or if they keep us but drop our production team, which would suck because we like all them. But like what? How would they even do that? If they, I mean, say Immortals gets us and I don't know anything about this.

Oh, but Immortals has their own content team, has their own content creators. What are they going to do with us? Do they? I don't know. I have no idea. Does Immortals have content creators?

But you can like, you can substitute Immortals with anybody. Like, what if, phase was a burles. It's basically like we could literally not be Optic. Right. Like in two weeks. What a shame.

That's what I'm saying. Like it's kind of stressful. What a shame. It's kind of stressful because it's kind of stressful, but here, you finish. Yeah. It's something that's like talking about optic and talking about the corporate versus content. I'm talking about shit has been a fail since day one. I'm, I'm so.

over it. Like I don't, I, I'm at a point where like, it's nerve-wracking and like it's scary if we get dropped, but also I don't care anymore. Like, as sad as that is, it's like, whenever I think about that shit, I'm just like, you know what? If you want to support me, then, then people will support me. If you want to support the six of us as a collective, people will. They want to support the COD team. They will. It's just like, it sucks that optic. I mean, we've come to terms with the fact that optic isn't where it was and there's a lot that's gone you know gone on behind the scenes about that and I'm sure though I'm sure those stories will come out one day and that'll be oh the stories well that'll be if that

that'll be fun that'll be I'm sure people would be like wow interesting like but yeah for the time being it's like I I don't even like talking about it anymore yeah it's just like it's because it's been the same talk right or over like a year and a half just miscommunic not even miscommunication it's just blatantly ignored and it's it's basically it basically turned into like just like okay yeah like a dick measuring contest and like no we can do this without y'all you know we ain't losing that shit we ain't losing that shit big dick uh yeah it's turned into a dick measuring contest it's like no we can do it without y'all no we can do it without y'all right no we don't need y'all we don't care right like and it it's like it's like it was

such a dude it's such a ego fucking like thing involved right and the fucking whole the whole corporate side that shit is so cringe as much as much as you hate cringe much as i hate the word cringe but like what the fuck yeah there hasn't been one there hasn't been one there hasn't been one month of like feeling like there was some sort of like leadership and fucking a direction and working together like there's never there has yet to seem like there is any genuineness like this whole time i felt like this whole time i felt like the entire corporate side or whatever has been trying to figure this out without us. Oh, it's, yeah.

Like the entire time, I've felt like, right. They're, they're paying us just an amount that, like, will stick around. Right. But other than that, they're trying to figure something out to where they can just push us away. Yeah. And like, we've already heard fucking rumors and shit. Like, not to get into detail, but like, like, we... They were still looking a month and a half ago. Yeah, like they were looking for another content team.

We know, like, I don't know if they know we know. Yeah. Like, what's going on? But, like, we hear this shit. And it's like, no fucking shit. Like, it's not going to work out. Right. It's, yeah.

It's like, there's no. Like, y'all have been, like. There's no teamwork involved. And it's hard because they'll say, or like, I'll hear rumors. It's like, well, you know, you guys aren't helping us. You're not working together to, we're not, it's not a team. We're not working to do. It's like, you don't know the shit that we hear.

Yeah. It's like, why would we help you get rid of us? Yeah. But that's not to say that we're like this content team that's been grinding and we deserve better. Right. Which I always have to say because there's going to be those people that are listening with looking at that side of things. Obviously, we could do better too. But like, Jesus, like.

Yeah, it's hard to get this shit. It's hard to get. The vibe has been terrible. since day one. Yeah. And we all know why that was. Yeah, it's never been a good vibe. Like, not ever.

Never. Not once since moving here. Yeah. But, so I'm sure, you know, if a lot of the, if a lot of the, you know, upper management stays on and there's a new wave of investment, I'm sure we're gone. Like, I'm sure that's what's going to happen. I wouldn't necessarily say that. I just don't even see, I don't know.

I just, maybe I'm just, without getting into it too much. Assuming the worst. Because we've, I mean, even now, I've heard, I've heard stories of at least like five or six people that we know in the offices that are looking for other jobs because this is just too much. You know, just every day. Dude, not even anyone in the, see, what? when I say corporate side, y'all probably think, y'all probably see corporate as a person

and I don't like it. Yeah. But like a lot of people in the office, like I like, and like I don't wish anything bad for them. We see a decent amount of them, like weekly. Like I'd consider them friends or acquaintances.

Yeah. So like I don't want to see anything bad happen to them. But I don't know my fucking point to that. I forgot my point. But you don't hate, you're not hating on one person. Yeah, it's just, it's like the whole, like, because I know, you look at the content team and it's just like, it seems like people are just bitching and like, we're not happy, blah, blah, blah.

But then you look at the office, they just don't have voices. They're the same. They're the same fucking way. Like, the people that are under and like trying to, I guess, make shit work. Right. They're the same way. So it's like, shit ain't good over there either. No, it's not.

And it's not like, it would only be good if the content creators did this, or it would only be good if the Kha team did this. It's like we've tried to meet people halfway, but some people aren't, or there, people aren't willing to budge. Yeah. And it's sad, dude. It's still so sad. I thought it was going to change. I feel like the, as far as us six as content people in the new house, it's, it's sad. sort of it's like I mean compared to what it was at the apartment yeah the vibes are a lot better and

like we're definitely sort of in that zone of like we'd um of like making starting to make videos and shit together right but like there's just not like one thing elsewhere that's like sort of helping that move or like yeah because like even when we were looking for houses we found like one house we're like, oh, this is it. Yeah. And then they were like, oh, we didn't get that house, but we got this one that none of you guys have visited and you're moving in in a week. Then we get to that house and we're like, this. It was like, it was like 9,000 under budget that they told us.

Yeah. Something like that. It was. We had a budget. So we were looking for houses in that budget. And then while we were looking for those houses, they got, closed on this house. They got a budget that was half. And it was like half.

Yeah. Half. And it, like, the house is nice. And that's what I'm saying. But it's like, it's like we didn't even, Optic and moved into a new house, and we didn't even make a fucking Optic House video because it wasn't even worth it.

It's a nice house. In this situation, we're grateful for the house. Yeah. But we are under the impression that if we would have made a big deal about us moving into this house, it would have gotten shit on. Yeah. And so the,

that's why we're pushing them. Like, no, we have to get a dope house. Right. we have to get a dope mansion it's not like we feel we deserve it we deserve a mansion or like no we're so cool we need to live in a mansion it's like no that's how the fucking right entertainment side of the world works like you have to be so much cooler than you really have to act the part you have to act cooler than what you are like do you think the fucking clout house moved into that house because like no they moved into that house because it's a fucking dope ass house and they

know, oh shit, the cloud house is dope as fuck. Right. And that just gives them, that just gives the audience so much more like, I don't know, just so many more eyes. There was like a little bit of issue there too, because the issue, the disconnect was, in this situation, this has happened many times and not just about the house, but about a ton of different things. It's like, apparel.

It's like on our side, we're saying all these things. things like no we can't get this house like if we do get this house we can't make a a big deal about us giving this house you just have to celebrate it as that we're all back in the house together which is what we ended up doing which worked great it's like oh we're all back in a house together as good as it could and then that was that it was not some big huge you know scuff house introduction video kind of like what we did back then but the disconnect is we're saying we can't have this house we can't make a big deal out of this house because it's not you know to the standards of other content creator teams,

in our opinion, including past optic houses. And the disconnect is in the corporate side of people who haven't, who haven't been here and haven't understood what that is. They're just got into East sports, apparently. They're like, wow, they're ungrateful that we're literally giving them a house. And that makes them ungrateful. We don't care about the house. Right.

We care about how the audience perceives it. Yeah, because you can control to a house. a certain extent how people perceive your video like if you're if the setting is everything yeah the setting is like you can make a dope this is why i make all my videos here or for for the most part except for like collaborative videos with you guys because this is just such a better environment than like the offices i mean like and it's sort of like imagine trying to invite a fucking guest over to the house we don't have a backyard right we don't have a front of You don't have a spare bedroom.

Don't have a spare bedroom. Not all of us have bathrooms. Not all of us have bathrooms. Well, you have a bathroom. Yeah, but it's a share, it's a community space. But besides that it's like, it's not something that you can, like, think about the scuff house. How many, like, how many times we had, like guests over and studio. We had, like, Dirk over and like.

Syndicate, Dirk, Castro. Yeah, like, big YouTubers and, and, like, nobody. Zia and B-Loo. like and they come over they're like oh shit this is dope exactly and like a big ass backyard we had a shitty basketball hoop but like a long ass driveway with a basketball hoop right we're playing in like like that's what that's fun that we don't getting a family home and moving like six gamers the like second biggest content team in the world ex first ex first biggest content team into It's just like a random family home.

And like, it's just like constantly. I just seeing the most, as little as what they, as little as what could possibly be done is always done. Right. Yeah. That's agree. Amen. Hallelujah. So.

And I don't, I don't know what to think. I don't like. I don't know. I just hope whatever happens. Like I don't. Like I don't. Steps back in, man. That's what I hope happens.

Yeah. Who knows? It's going to be fucking annoying I'll look at Hex and I'll be like So are we good and he'll go And like that's the information I get So whatever he knows He's keeping up there

Which is fine I mean I trust him When it comes to Optic and content I trust him So I just hope we're in a situation Where he gets it back Because if he doesn't Then

Or if he doesn't It's like We got a we got to have one last meeting if it doesn't we got to have one last meeting meeting shit better shit's got to happen

ideas need to happen how much and that's about it how many legs to stand but like how many times can you fucking I don't know this would be so much easier how many times you guys had always kept uploading this would be so much

much easier. Don't bullshit. I don't know. When we moved here, though, like, what could you even upload? We're living in one bedroom,

two bedroom apartments. Another failed. Like, it all started so much earlier than, so much earlier than what people thought it was. Dude, I remember,

and this isn't to seem ungrateful, but it's just like what you're promised and what you're told, and then you pull up to your new apartment. And your stomach drops because you thought you were moving into a city and going to be overlooking downtown Dallas. But things, but then it'll be like something happens.

And it's like, oh, two weeks to move. Right. And it's like just like right before this next house. It's like the big opportunity to get shit going again. Well, we couldn't get that house, but we got one over here. So y'all are just going to move in here. No one even seen the house before. Right.

It's just like, it's just, it's just like disrespectful. It's weird going from a situation where like. Stupid business moves. It's weird going from a situation where like you, Hex is texting me pictures of the scuff house while I'm on my third to last shift at Walgreens and you guys are in the house touring it, looking at who, whose rooms or who's. And you guys are like, oh, this is dope. Hex sends me a picture. Like, this is your room. And I'm like, that's dope.

So that's how Hex ran it. Hex invited. It was a collaborative team effort. And then this one was just like... We FaceTime Pomage. Pomage's big happy ass. Yeah. And we're like, yo, you trying to move in?

Yo. Yo, you'll stop playing. And then for this house, after they got in the keys, we were the first ones in the house, me and you. And we walked around the house and we were like, which now thinking about it is not that bad of the house. It's not a bad house. Oh, I like the house.

I like my room better than the scuff house room. But for a content house, that's just not it. Yeah. And it's like, it's not like I'm walking in. Like, I would love for my future family to be able to live in a house like that. But, like, I'm thinking from, I think, where people need to be thinking from. And that's where this is a content house. This is, like, literally the, like, you want people when they think of Optic, they thought of the scuff.

house. Right. When you think of Optic, you'd want to think of this new house. Yeah. But it's like, do some people just not get it? It's like in 2013, when you thought of Optic, you thought of 60-50. You thought of videos around that island. Then there's that whole three-year section of when you thought of Optic, you thought

of the scuff house. You thought of, you know, like, whether it was the different waves of like when Formal and Seth through there like being best friends or whether it was you were still playing halo and you were playing with mike and like or we go way later and then tj moves in and you know all that stuff happened at the scruff house that was optic yeah and now it's like what the fuck is optic i think it's like we're at a house the cod team is doing their own thing and they kind of like they live like they live here there's the hex quarters that like maybe sometimes hex collabs in But it's a really dope spot.

And it's every time anyone comes here from the corporate offices, you know they're probably like, this is what we should have had. Because this is what we were asking for. Well, the thing is, it's like, oh, they couldn't get it. But then Hex got it in two months. Yeah.

And then there's a CS team somewhere in the world that is completely separate. I don't even know if I follow them on Twitter. I don't know if they follow me. I don't know if they have any idea who I am, or I definitely don't have any idea who they are, except for like two of them. And then there's like the Gears team who is still beating everybody's ass, but I know they're not happy,

because they have their own house that they're paying for. And like they kind of survived whenever the Halo team got dropped. They kind of survived off of the bad publicity of the Halo team getting dropped. And then, because I think they were next. And if that's what they They come up to us and say that all the time Like oh yeah we were next But then all that shit happened

And so they were like Well let's not drop another team Let's just I think Literally I think it's just been a What can we give them What is the bare minimum We can give them

For them to like stick around Until we can replace them That's like what the vibe was Yeah And has been for a while Yeah but do we have

outro music I don't know I'm sure it'll get better or it can't really get worse because it's not if we get dropped because even if we get dropped

I don't think that would be that bad I think as long as everyone stayed on the same page and then we made a goal to fucking get do some but

I don't know because there's also like a lot of deliverables that were the only people that could do them yeah that's that's just another thing right there that's a whole another that's a whole another fucking like how many multi-million dollar sponsorships are going to come in that

the same people do them for every single time same and then they look at it we continuously get roasted for it when it's like we wouldn't be roasted if we were able to collaborate with the people that should be in these videos like set big timer the cot team like that and it's like no there's no incentive it's there's no incentive there's no incentive when it's just like when these multi-million dollar deals come in and we know where the money's kind of going it's not to us but we have to do it for every single sponsor right and it's like that was cool at a time that was cool at a time but it's like it's been like four or five years well that was cool with It was like a team, team-based effort.

Yeah. We got to live in a mansion. Like there was no investors. There was no investors. There was no money. We made our own. We made the money. Like if the cod team needed to get paid, we'll make the money for the cod team.

And then they'll come to and shit like that. Like that's just how it was. But now there's, now there's fake money everywhere. Now everyone's got $20 million. I don't know where the fuck they get it from. I don't know. But everyone's got $20 million. So $20 million is coming in from all angles.

And it's just like you guys are doing the videos. You guys are doing the videos. Well, what do we get out of it? Yeah. Well, that's why we pay you. Well, it's not much. Right. It's probably.

And then there's the disconnect. Well, they're ungrateful that we're paying them. But it's like, you just don't get it then. That's the disconnect that's been there forever. That's the year and a half disconnect is they're ungrateful. You want cameras to turn on and them to make this sponsor look fucking dope, but they're not getting anything for it. Like, come on.

Turn around and all of a sudden, Jackson, L.A. Someone who understood it. Fucking blew up and. It was like, wait, what? You want me to do what for who? To do what? Nade shot? Second room.

Falky Ray? And it's not like, I don't, I'm not even... I don't even know if that's the case. My point? Let's just say that really quick. I don't know if that's why Jack left. I'm just saying it would make sense. Oh. Um...

Because I don't want to wrote... I don't want to put words in Jack's mouth to make Jack look bad because that's not the case. So it's just Jack blew up. Had to dip. Anyway. Um, yeah. I don't know. I don't know what has to be done.

I kind of know what has to be done. But I don't know if it is going to happen. I can't publicly say it, yeah. But, yeah, I hope for the best. Yeah. I don't want to, I don't want to not be optic maniac. I don't want to not be optic hitch. So, I mean, that would fucking suck.

It would really suck. Like, I thought I, you know, I'm not, like, Pomage. Like, I thought I was going to be optic for life. If we get dropped, I'll be able to make the best around the bar video of all time. Yeah. I'd have like a slide show. Dude, imagine. Yeah.

It's not, I know it turned negative, like the second half of the flycast, but it's not really like, we're not like in a negative spot. It's just kind of like. It's keeping everyone just. It's just what we think about. Now they know what, now they know what goes. Like when they see, maybe when they see shitty videos or something. they're like uh kind of makes sense

that's what's going on there's a lot oh no one really wants to make videos right no one wants to no one wants to help with making a video good right or making this environment good

yeah if they made it a corporate style well this is your job this is what you're supposed to do that will just subconsciously start treating it like a job which is what we did until we moved into the new house and the new house like kind of re-energize the vibes a little bit which is why the videos you know have been better but they still could be so much so much better

yeah how long has it been i don't i don't know like where we're at it on we're probably should just end it here now that everyone's depressed yeah so yeah i hope well one question we don't ever do this but one question to put that we'll ask you guys and you guys can put the answer down in the in the comments. If for some reason the optic hitch and optic maniac flycast turns out to be the hitch and maniac flycast and optic is,

or dropped from optic, would you guys still listen? They got to. There's no way. Right? I think they'd listen. I think people would still listen. I don't think,

I'm sure there'd be a little bit of drop off, but. Nothing would change. in the flycast, but I'm saying just in general. I'm sure there'd be a drop-off. Well, maybe, can't wait for next five-cast. Do we have any outro music?
