No 7-Eleven is safe. Dude, that's what? Blake and George always... No what? 7-Eleven. Blake and George always brag about their... Not brag, but they always are talking about their guns, because they all...

George has two pistols and Blake has two. So they're always talking about, like, the fucking attachments and shit that they got for it. IRL. IRL. That's nuts. And then they're like... They're always trying to get me to get it,

but I don't really fuck with guns like that. And so every time they're done... Every time they're done talking about it, I'm like, so you're all gonna, you're all gonna. I see. I didn't really fuck with guns like that until. I lived in L.A. Like, I didn't really mess with guns.

I didn't have a gun in my house, but then I live in L.A. And then one day I'm streaming, and my girlfriend starts yelling, bathe. And I'm like, what the fuck? So I'm like, what, you're out? Like, what's it?

She's like, it's somebody in our backyard. And like, like, these two dudes is, like, hopped in our backyard. And they just walked across our backyard. And I'm just like, what the fuck? So at that point, I was like, we got to get something at least. But it was like,

there's like a homeless dude he had like no shoes on like he had one shoe on like one side he was just walking down the rain and I'm just like what is going on my girl just texted me that a girl like she's at work right now and a girl she works with their her car just got broken into there like just in the first floor of the parking garage homeless dude just breaks into it take took I guess I don't know if her purse was in there what they like stole her cards bro the day I was driving here so he'd drop 22 hours here and my girlfriend liked this app The next door.

Damn. You ever heard of Next Door? 22 hours. I drove 16 straight. I drove 16 straight. And I'm just like, wait, why don't we save this?

Okay. Welcome back to another episode of episode 119 of the flight cast. I'm sure we're leaving all that in because that was pretty good. But, all right. So let's run that back.

What brought all this up? Black Air Force. Peep the Black Forces. Peep the Black Forces. People, I feel like it's a mixed opinion. Some people hate them. Some people kind of fucks with them. I like them. I mean, I like them for what they are.

I like them too, but I actually don't know. I'm not going to lie. I feel like it just matches like it always with a certain fit. So that's like the issue. People be wearing it like the wrong way. If you're wearing all black, if you had a shiasty on, you'd look great. Remember when we dropped the, there was like an optic shiasty? Was it?

Yeah, I need to have, bro. The picks of those. That was like the last winter. It was a collab with the, or it was because we were doing the winter trip. And so we dropped like a bunch of heavy winter stuff, like heavy coats, shi-sties. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cicesties crazy. That's so fucking funny.

The shi-stead sold out. Dude, the weird things, because we only order like a couple of them, they sell out so fast. The shysses were gone. The TST clocks for Optic Day, there was like 50 of them. They were gone immediately. Wait, was it the op what just passed? Opti Day? Yeah, Opti Day clocks.

I didn't. TSC one? Yeah, I didn't get one of those. Like I was saying, bro, I drove 22 hours, 16 straight, first of all. So I'm already delusional. And on the way here, like, my girlfriend's checking the next door app, which is, like, an app that, like, everybody in the neighborhood just, like, goes on. It's kind of like Twitter for the neighborhood.

Okay. And, like, people give away free stuff on there, or they just talk about stuff. And, like, on the way here, I'm pretty sure. My girlfriend's like, babe, our next door neighbor, like, the person next to me got robbed. Like, pulling, like, they're pulling, like, they're pulling, into their driveway and the people pull up right behind them and like robbed them apparently they went to the bank right before that and like they followed them to that i'm just like i've seen a video of that yeah they had a video it's showing the video a person just came from bank like pulls in i think

they're in like a bmw just like pulling to their driveway the car comes right behind them and the dude like saw them trying to get out and he just fucking while he backed into his driveway and then they blocked him off and then he knew what was going on immediately and just fucking gunned it he gunned it oh okay Like, bro, I can't, these people were slow. They were just, like, so oblivious to what was going on. Me, I'm insane. I'm, like, I'm always checking my surroundings. I feel like, I don't really like the person to see.

I've been waiting for a motherfucker to try to rob me. I've been waiting for a motherfucker. Dude, this is not like, I've been, I've run up on me. You look like you're doing ballet. I think, yeah, this was it. This is probably like exactly what happened. to your neighbor. This might be my neighbor.

Imagine? I wouldn't be, or no, Texas. They all got guns. You said this was when you were in L.A. This might be my neighbor. No, no, this is here. Like, what this happened here,

so this actually might be my neighbor. Oh, like, imagine how scary that would be. Oh, no. Oh, yeah, he just guns at all. Three people hop out with guns. Gone. It's not even like they just, like, run up on you. They all three have guns in their hands.

Well, like, now they know where you live. live. That's what I'm saying. Like, oh, die. But I feel like they'll, I don't know,

they got a, I don't know the mind of a criminal, but I feel like they got to like give up after that. Like, or do they come, do they spin the block and come back for you? In fresco? Or do they just give up?

Because it's like, okay, that spot's hot. Hmm. Let's stop going there. I couldn't tell you. I couldn't tell you. Damn,

I thought you were talking about in L.A. Oh, okay, the L.A. was like the people hopping in my, my backyard. Oh, like the homeless. Yeah, the people getting robbed were here.

That sounds so L.A. Yeah, it does. But it was just like so mind-blowing because I was like tweaking. Like, I don't know what's going on. How long did you live in L.A. for? Two years total, but two for LAT and then one for L.JLA. Was it like L.A.? No.

I was in like, it was like the, what is it called? She didn't even think of the name right now. Well, the neighborhood that I lived in for LAT was like, the neighborhood that like the Lakers and stuff used to live in back in the day. So it was like I was in a more, I guess, expensive area. But like, the neighborhood was like right next to, um, he's just I can't think of the names in the neighborhoods, but it was like some ghetto neighborhood.

Do you like L.A.? Because I only say that. I remember when I was, when was Halo, I think it was like the first, Halo 2 anniversary. I think that was like 2015. like an LA event. I love. And I remember, I mean, I was cracked out on Addy.

I was drinking. So I just felt good. That seems to come up every podcast. But I think that's just because it was a part of my everyday life for so long. I was cracked out. And I was in L.A. And I was just like, I felt so cool. I was like, damn, I'm like, I figured how old I was.

Like 21, 22. I'm just on the street. It's like me and APG, probably smoking a cigarette or something. And we just feel, you just feel so cool. but then as you get older you're like this place is fucking dog shit I'm not a lot to live there like if you're not I mean when I lived there

I wasn't really doing I mean I was going to parties and stuff like that but I liked it it's just expensive like the everyday living just like the weather and everything is like dope but I'm also playing video games I'm not really living there to do anything else yeah that's a whole um it just seems so stressful

and like anxiety driven It's like everyone in L.A. is so, like, that's what it is, like, that party. Yeah. If you're going to go to L.A.? I think of phase bank. Yeah. If you're going to go to L.A., you got to, like, go to L.A. Yeah. Like, the Hollywood, then, like, we have, like, West Hollywood, like, those.

God, that's, like, the party area. Like, Alexis moved up to Irvine for eight months. Where's that? Uh, uh, I don't know. Somewhere in Cali? Somewhere in Cali. Yeah. Like right outside LA.

But that's where like a lot of like of the people in the beauty industry like moved. And she was like, she's like, I like that I did it because she went up by herself and just like move there. But but you got to like Irvine. Yeah. Oh, south, south south. Yeah. Over by like Santa Monica. Like Huntington Beach.

Oh. So it's like Santa. Yeah. But she was like people that go to LA just because it's so expensive. Like you got to go and you got to be willing to just like do everything. Like if somebody says do you want to, you have to say yes. She's not good at that either. So she was like, I just moved back.

She was like, I like the experience, but her friends that went, like, said yes to everything. And then, and it's time to wake up. You mean like meeting up with this person, brunch on Tuesday, party that night, that night, boat next morning, meet with Mac at 8 a.m. Because they want to go to brunch. And then after that, you got to. the face party that night. And then there's a fucking

a party over here. You've got to say yes to everything. Because like, then you network yourself into a place where you're, now you're banks. But I do think that's the best way to live in LA is to move outside of LA and then go in. And go in. Yeah. I don't know why.

Just have such a. And it's always, like when I talk about LA to like Paige and her family or something, like they're like, what? Like what? We like love it here. Well, they're also bred that, dude. And also, they are different type of person. Page was made in a lab.

She was not born. She was created in a lab. They talk differently. All of the reads. All of them. The way they talk, it's just like, dude, I don't even know if they're human. Even what I would like visit. They don't stop.

I would visit for whatever reason. Or maybe there would be like an event in L.A. We'd like go hang out with Paige or brothers. her sisters, whatever, and it'd be like, 11 a.m. We go get sushi. We have some white claws. We go back. We sit around like a picnic table, have more white claws.

Enjoy the sun. It's like, that's just like a... They're on parma vacation. Yeah. It seems like it. I gotta take this call. You're always with like three reads. Always, yeah.

One of them's on the call. One's FaceTiming. One of them is facetiming Selena Gomez in the corner. And you're just like, okay. That is nuts. Well, Kenny, thanks for joining us. man. Happy belated by the, by the way.

Was that yesterday or the day before? What's today? Today? I don't know. Today's the fourth? I actually had no fucking... So it was two days ago, yeah. On the second, on the second.

Wait, how would you turn? 25. Quarter. 25, same, brother. Yeah. God, man. I feel old. I feel older than 25, to be fair.

Do you feel... Yeah, we talked about it around the bar. He's like the unk of the teen. Yeah, I'm the unk. Even though I'm not the oldest, but I'm the unk somehow. Wait, who is the old. oldest. Brandon.

That's insane. What the fuck? That's what everybody says. That's actually insane because when I look at your team, I do kind of see you as just like the most mature. Yeah. So you would think like oldest. But when I look at Brandon and Shotsie, it's like they're 18, 19, 20, 21.

They're not anymore. God, dude, that's insane. It is. And you've had, how long have you been competing? Maybe that's, I feel like people feel old. If they started young. I started like 15. So I started 15 in AW.

Well, I've been playing since like MW3. To be fair, I've been playing GB since MW3. So like, what is that? 2011. Yeah, 2011. Yeah, so I've been playing for a minute. 13, 12. Yeah, but competing 15.

And then after that, I went to Halo. I competed in a halo for a few years and then came back. Which I want to talk about. Which is insane. Yeah, H5. I went to three events. I think I went to St. Louis, Vegas, and one, or something like, or Vegas, some other two events.

I think DC maybe or something. I don't remember, but I was playing in top 12. So before you... Were you playing the top of all? I think in Halo 5. Well, I competed in Halo 5 in 2015 to 2016. Yeah. It's weird how long the Halo cycles now.

Yeah, I was placing shit, so that's fine. That's about when my career... You could play, you could be like, yeah, I was a Halo 3 pro. and like I'd be like oh so you played these people and like oh no that was two years before me playing halo three it's like oh my god it's so different from cod cod it's like you remember who played what game because some people just come and go once every five fucking years being like the MVP of a halo game to me is like insane that's how I see it for me person because I'm just like you were just like got like for the whole is that how it works or is it just one season are you MVP?

I think it's just one season oh I don't know if they do that would be insane you're the MVP of Halo You can probably go through That's what I thought Who was the best player in the game In Halo 4? Like who was... I don't know

Was there one? Formal maybe? That's so crazy I think there was like Who was winning? I don't know split off I think Ann at the end of age 5 was like the best

But then like for the first hand is Frosty's like Frosty's like Frosty was insane for the first three years And then Aunt comes in and Is unbelievable Yeah there's always like that one person that kind of like just makes the game look different.

Yeah. You're like, what the fuck? And when Frosty came in, the motherfucker's beginning strat. What was the map? It might have been like Coliseum where there's a sniper. About the boot slats like the boot slats. Yeah, they're beginning strats. Like everyone, everyone fights for the sniper in the beginning.

He just runs to it. He runs slides to it and hopes to get the nose scope. Yeah. And he would fucking do that. So it's like you. First off, I knew that guy was special when I lost to him when he was teaming with the Sutt of Twins.

Wait, have you ever been reality checked? Wait, would you get top 12? I'm like, yeah, we lost the Frosty. I always ask every person with Halo knowledge I ask if they get reality checked because where's our reality check jersey? Oh, no, I think they were done by the time. Yeah, I'm about to say.

I played them in rank, but I was going to say like you know of them. Yeah, yeah, I've played them. Okay. Wait, what was I saying about the SUDTwin? Oh, yeah, fucking before Frost's, Frosty was even, like, known. He was teaming with the Sutter Twins, and I played them at the event before, this was in Halo 2 anniversary, the event before finals. And we got top 12, and there's, like, pictures.

I think there's, like, a famous APG picture where we lose, and he's just like, mind blow. I don't know if it is from that, but it would make sense. Wait, how did Halo 2 anniversary work? When did that come out? Halo 2 anniversary came out after Halo 4. I think it started in 2015. So was it like a remake of Halo 2? There was just like one or two seasons of it?

Yeah, it's literally just like a remake of Halo 2. Like the exact same shit. Yeah. But just a little different, a little upgraded. But yeah, Frosty, I mean, I had no idea if Frosty fucking was. So when we lost to them, I think like 50, 49 game 5. Just the worst way to lose to the fucking. fucking suds.

And then so like when people I was, I was like, yeah, no, I lost the Frosty. Like that's what I knew, man. But little do they know. He was teaming with the fucking Sud twins and carried them. Jesus. Yeah, and then he starts off Halo 5. Everyone's like, all right, this guy's next level. Then shots he comes.

How did he get picked? So how did he get picked up on the team he was on? I don't even remember. Because it was like the Brandon, like the dash. So like how Brandon got picked him on optic. It went from World War II. He's team with Doug. they were getting like top eight top 12 yeah it's

like picked up my optic you're like that's how yeah I think that's how it was had to be how it sometimes you can just tell I think people could just tell like this guy's fucking yeah TJ PJ PJ Matt they drop ogre two and pick up Frosty and then Frosty because I think

which is insane because I don't even think Frosty had like um accolades or like credentials at that point it was just like he got top eight once with reality check but motherfuckers knew this guy was disgusting. I can't remember if anything else happened prior to that.

But I remember Aaron, Aaron Create and Frosty went to the same high school. They've been friends since they were kids. So I remember Aaron telling me, yo, like, Tuger just got dropped. And the kid they're picking up is unbelievable. And I was like, what? He's like, they can't get better. Well, they went from like a top two to those first place. The number.

Once they picked up him, it was just. first place. So your Halo 5 career, were you, so you competed in Cod first? Yeah, yeah. So I was going to events. Yeah. So AW, I competed. I went to three events, I think. I went to Dallas, which was my first ever event. I got top 12. And then I went to DC. Wait, what year was this? It's 2015. Yeah, 2015 or 2016. Maybe 26, maybe. That would make sense. Yeah, somewhere in there. I went to two events and I went to my last event, which was World and I got top six. And then that's kind of like when my I like kind of blew up and then that's when like the 18 plus rule came out and then blackouts three came out and I played black house three for one month and then that's

when kaila switch to halo I'm like this game kind of looks got like and then me and donnie tried to switch but donnie wasn't committed yeah we were screaming and don't really committed he didn't really care to play halo five but I was committed so I was grinding it um but then I was playing with like rob the turtle oh my yeah yeah I was playing with like rob the turtle it was Rob, but he's just like, why'd you say it like that? Yo, I would never have said that. There's other shit in the world to do.

Rob, I never would have said that. The motherfucker's been around so long. And it's like, if you're just not placing like top six in Halo, it's, I just wonder how people even play the fucking game. That's sure.

Honestly, I think my last team would have been pretty decent. We were getting, I was going like, but then I started screaming with like me, Rami. I can't remember that other two. It was like,

me Rammy, like, what's his guy name? Nemesis. Is that name? Nemesis. Yeah. And somebody else. I think there's like those two

and then somebody else. They were like pretty decent. It was like probably my best ALO team for what I was. But I was getting top 12. I team with me, Bachi Hawk, Musa and Robert Turtle,

I think was my team when I got top 12 at Lake Vegas. Do you feel like you... We actually lost the APG. We lost to... Really? Yeah. Do you feel like you had potential in Alo?

I actually think I was pretty good. I think I was getting way better. I think my issue as a Kodakia was always like ego challenge. So like I was always like any one-vue one I'm taking. Did you play Halos before that? No, that was my... I played, like, you know, play, like, casual.

Like, Halo 3, everybody played Halo 3. But Halo 5 was, like, my first time, like, actually grind. And I actually got, like, rank 1 for, like, one, like, the, like, the ring season. Like, I was grinding. I think... I actually could have been pretty good. My issue was just, like, ego challenge, to be honest, not playing my life, which is also... It's just the only Halo game you could ego challenge.

Yeah. Halo 5. I got him. Did you... pistols, dude? Did you hate the way the game felt? Because Halo 5, no. You like that? I rate, bro. Halo 5 was one of my

favorite game. I don't get it. Here we fucking go, dude. I don't understand. I think it was because I came from AW to Halo 5. So it was like too simple. It was like the call, like the Halo version of AW. My thing is, do you do you ever head case about like dead zones and input delay? I thought that was weird when I first came to Halo. Like everybody was like messing with their dead zones. Like there was half

senses in that game. Everybody's like, oh my god. And there was like the older Twitch and everything. I'm just like bro, people in this game on Halo are crazy. And that was on console too. Well, I just felt like when I get on any call of duty probably that's ever been made, they always just feel smooth. It feels

like normal how a game just not even the game flows well. It's just when I'm, it just doesn't feel like there's input delay. It just feels like a good game. And then when Halo 5 came out, I just felt like the aim was so heavy.

I would always say it just feels like a fucking elephant's just on my pistol. Like, I'm like swaying it. And it like, you usually play like a slower sensor. Or you play like faster? I would play like just the average, like four. I probably would be different. Four to a half, five or some shit. It's probably

different for you because you grind in Halo. For me, that was my first. So I'm just like, this looks fun. And they were also, I also on hardcore drugs. Okay. I would over think. I would over think. straight everything. So he was sure. Sugar Rush.

Straight Sugar. Yeah, I'm a little kid to straight sugar rush. But I also like, I like pistol starts. I think the pistol H-5 was got like, that was just me. Yeah. I mean, that was. Really? I can't.

I would, I like, I like, how it played. But I wish it wasn't a pistol. Oh, okay. I just feel like, I feel like when you think Halo, you think. Battle Rifle people think the assault rifle or the, like, needler. I don't even think, I think casuals. I think when you think Halo, you think about. rifle.

You might be right. But that's also the bubble that I live in. Yeah, I bet you it's close. Because I know a bunch of people that played Halo, like, obviously, like the campaigns and stuff, and they love the assault rifle. See, that's what I was confused. I love the assault rifle, too, because when I came to Halo, like, the meta, was assault rifles for a minute, and people were just, like, spamming the assault rifle.

And, like, people hated it. That's the season I had to play, and I hate, there was also, when I played, there was, like, radar. Yeah, that's saying. Like, God. There was radar? Yeah. So you didn't know where that.

Crouch, rush a person, use your pistol, use your AR. People just run at you ARs. And that's what I'm like, oh, this is God. Like, this feels good. All the HALA people are like, get this out. I'm like, what? Like, this feels amazing. Were you just waiting for, so you basically just played HALO until you turned 18?

Yeah, that was like the plan. And then you're like, all right, back to the game, I know I'm. So what happened was, I actually did not plan to come back to Kod for, like, I was in college still playing HALA. and I went to college on like a full ride so I'm in college for yeah I was going to know on a full ride like a full scholarship you don't hear that around here

yeah I was there for biochemistry which is kind of crazy I failed bio twice I used to chemistry was like my favorite but then I got hit up by like Lamar and Lamar's like yo you playing car next year like we might be able down to pick you up and I'm like it was me or me or somebody else

I can't remember who else but at that time I was like I'm down and my job at the time wasn't paying anything and they're like we'll give you $1,000 a month I'm like, bet. And then we won the first two events and I left college. That wasn't CDL yet, was it? Yeah, no, it was CWO.

CWO. Yeah, which is kind of crazy because I didn't play Codd for like a year or two or a year and a half or two and then I came back won my first event. So at that point, I thought I was like the best like ever. I was like, I am insane. I literally did. Is that war two? Yeah, so B-O-3, I played the first month.

I won a few G-B tournaments. And then there was like a possibility of like a young gun team making it to play. but then that got chalked and then IW I didn't even buy the game I've never played a single like minute of IW I haven't seen a map I've seen the maps a little bit Is that formal? I've played a gun like nothing

So like IW years chalked I don't know a single thing about IW We won champs That was a look I've seen that I've seen that serious But I barely watch honestly I was like committed to Halo

Like I actually committed Yeah that's crazy And then you So going from Black Ops 3 and then you buy World War II and you're just insane. I get lost at the order of these fucking games. Dude, I was telling Alexis, Alexis was like, what? She asked me what year something happened.

And I was like, Mono for two, murder three, month or four. I think in Cod years. All, I don't think in years. I think in Cod years. Like even when I hear he's like, yeah, no, I didn't touch IW. Then you're like, yeah, World War II. And I'm like, I have no idea.

It's so weird. It is so weird. I'm like that in real life. Like my, my, like, calendar year starts in, like, November because that's when COD releases. And it goes till the next November. So you quit fucking Halo.

Come back to... What game, what Call of Duty was it? The World War II. World War II. You come back and you win the first event. Well, he was the best player in World War II. Yeah. Like, first event?

Like, I'm the best. Any pro, they'll say he's the best player. In that game, even through the whole season. It was either mere gunless, But I mean, it was kind of like it set up perfectly because me and him played each other first round at chance. And we ran their shit. Smoked them.

And they got like top 12 or it was like crazy. Don't ask him anything else about that. Wait, so what were you? Why? That was a bad tournament in college. They needed to like win one map. They just needed like they needed to win one map to make it to like the bracket. To beat Akes.

Yeah. And then AICS ends up three Owing off and then wins champs. I see where aches comes from sometimes. And I got second to him. So I can't even respond to him because he's just, I'm just like,

I got second to this guy somehow. I'm the best player, but I lost him at champs. When you, okay. When you stopped playing cod, when you were too young, where were you placing then? Or where did you like kind of sees like, you're like a top six?

Yeah, top six. So tops, I think at World's Out. you won the best players respectfully. I think the stats show, like I was least top 10 at the event, which is pretty good for upcoming. But I've also never had that like grind through the amateur bracket type come up. I was instantly on like a decently good team. I was on justice, which was like they're placing like top eight, maybe top 12. And then we got top six, which was a pretty good placing. And honestly, the team we lost it, we probably should have beat, which was envy. But at that time I was like, oh, I went pro, good stuff. And then we didn't really

find out that it was 18 plus until after the event. So going into B03, I'm like, oh, I'm about to join a better team. I'm about to be like, I actually was supposed to join Envy for Worlds for, but they picked up Goonjar instead of me. Until this day, I'll never, like, Luni was like, Luni and CAF are just like, we should pick you up, but I'm just like, yeah, I was supposed to join that team and then they picked up Goonjar and Jerd instead of me. But yeah, I mean, I was playing top six.

So like, at that time, I was like, I'm a pro player and I can call myself a professional. Okay, at the time you had to place top eight to be a considered pro. Now, I remember back then, or for Halo's, like, if you just placed top 16, you're considered pro. Top 16? I don't know. How many teams were there? That's what I'm saying. And Codd, you had to place top eight.

There's a lot of teams. I mean, at one point there was, you show up to the first event in Halo 3. I think there's like 250 teams. Yeah, that's great. So it's like, if you get top 16, you're considered pro. Okay. Top 20, I think top 32 was semi-pro. Like, I remember I was saying, now I'm a semi-pro.

Hey, I was a super. I do remember those. I remember semi-pro and I remember saying, like, yeah, I'm sponsored. Yeah. That was a good, fucking feeling to be able to. Sponsored. I'm sponsored. You're in Xbox game chat?

Don't fuck with me. I'm sponsored. That was, that was a good, like, who is sponsoring you? To be able to tell someone that you're pro. So, somehow come back. from Halo, win your first event. How many of, did you win other events that season? Yeah, so I won three.

Were you just dominating? So we won the first two events and then we went mid for like two, like two, like two events. And then we won another event, like the last event before champs and then going into champs, we were like the favorites and then got second. Was that your favorite year? No. Of competing? Fuck that game. I see, bro.

Do you like that game? No. Okay. Wait, okay, let me let me. You can't say, okay. Wait, wait, wait, wait. There's two, there's two, there's, like, it's a good cod game, like, a good competitive card. Like, how the game plays, like the competitive side spawns, the maps aren't, uh, but like competitively, it was a good game. Now, fun-wise, no. You would just never hop on, shoot, or shoot or play pubs. I don't even know if there were bots like then. But, like, playing the game on stage was cool, but I'm getting on every day. It's like, dope. I'm like, this game looks so, like, black and white. Yeah. My favorite, one of my favorite years probably deal for the game after that, like World War II was Blackouts 4. And that's when I joined.

So you're hyped for this year? Well, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, like, my 100th year on 100 T was like one of my favorites. You've won Worlds twice? Yeah. I got second twice. You won twice and got second twice?

We got four. We got four right now. Do you ever think about that? Yes. Like, especially because. All the time. I lost a pat. And that was the one year I was like super favorite.

And then the next year I went back to back second. So I went from World War II 4 and I got second in both games back to back. And the second time I lost the United, which was like Sims' first year, Simper to BZ. And like they were the favorites for the event, but we were like this. We were like neck and neck with them. But World War II, we were the best by far. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the current setup room. Give me that.

What? What happened, player? I overdraft it. Bro, literally no cab, you have cash up overdraft coverage. Don't even twit it. So you're saying when you direct deposit your paycheck on cash app, you can get a little extra protection up to $50 in overdraft coverage. Damn, that's money.

That's cash app. That's just funny. I remember I was just totally a casual, but I knew of your name, but I didn't know anything about who's considered good, who's well. And I remember every time we played you, and this might have been more recently like 2021, 2021, 22 or something. But every time it was like Optic versus Andrea Thieves or any time I saw Optic versus Kenny, I was like, fuck.

Oh, yeah. Like it was, and I didn't know, I didn't know anything about you. Never met you before, but it was just every, I felt like every time I saw that matchup, and I could just be, I could be wrong. Like, I don't know if you truly did beat them all the time. Yeah, it was, it, it, the, I know for a fact, if I'm looking back to the records, like, B-0-4, we were a 5-1 against him. I'm pretty sure.

I don't remember the other ones, but it was always like that. People thought I just like pull up on the stage like I'm playing out. I got to beat them. Even in Vanguard, even in Vanguard. That's what I thought.

I felt we had a mental block against you. Dude, in Vanguard, y'all started like atrocious. Yeah, we did. They started like 0 and 15. Yeah, it was really bad. But then they play us and shit on us.

And I'm like, dude, Kenny only spawns in. Yeah. But to be fair, if I was to be honest of why, it's like a play style thing. Like the way my team, played always counter how Optic played

respectfully like that's just like how it was and it wasn't like I'm showing up on the state I mean when you have the fans booing you you definitely have like a different type of like want to like win but yeah I can imagine it wasn't like I was pulled up on the stage like I'm playing optic I have to win oh but it was even online matches it was everything it just what happened like my play style

just kind of played out perfectly yeah look at that year seven through eighth fifth through sixth third and then just like you guys like oh shit they're figuring it out oh shit and then like those last two months like I was probably like the best player by far. And Vanguard, like, bro, last two months,

I don't think anybody was, like, touching me. That was probably, like, because people say, World War II peak. But in terms of my peak, like, individually, I think, these two years, like, Cold War and Vanguard, like, like,

Cold War, I was underrated. I was so good at that game, but Vanguard, last two months, I was the best player by far. Like, there is nobody touching me. Like, that was fun. Yeah. But Cold War, I'm playing with a new roster

every event. When you said, you really are. Holy shit. When you talk about like play styles, do you think, because I kind of look at you on our team now, like you're the brains. Yeah, yeah. Because you got to think of our other three players. Shotsie, Pred and Dashy.

To be fair, I think, I'm like, someone's got to be there to run that fucking show. I think Ang is underrated when it comes to like brains. I do too, actually. He understands the cod to like the highest degree. And that's why I think me and him work well. It's just when he'll say some. dumb shit on stream and then it's, I think half the time it's trolling

sometimes he just doesn't fucking know but it's never really codrelated. It'll be like some in real life shit that he'll say something dumb about. He's either a genius. He's either just like kind of write him off his dude I don't I dead ass don't think he knew where Canada

was. No he doesn't Was that one of the things? Well he does it. He didn't know. He asked like with such like sincerity Canada? Canada? What? Where's that? And I was like, where's Canada? That was one of the reason I was excited to play with him, though, because I'm like, playing against him, you're like, bro, this guy's an idiot.

He did no clue what he's doing. So I'm like, let me see how he, like, actually thinks, like, but like he thinks, like similar to me. And, like, for our team, like, I think that's what changed from, like, my World War II years of the year I was the best player. It's about B-O-4. I, like, became more of, like, a gap-filling player. So I'm just kind of, like, filling in where my teammates don't. And whereas, like, World War II, I was given the green light. Do whatever the fuck you want.

You don't do any wrong. Like, that's kind of how. that team was like made around me. It was like, can't even just do whatever? He can make up whatever play he wants. But nowadays I'm like, what is AG?

What is Brandon doing? Like, I'll just fill in the whole. Do you think there's a certain play style that you try to get the team to be? Yeah. Like aggressive. Do you just try to,

I mean, at the end of the day, everyone just tries to make the best decision no matter what the situation is. But I think that's like, That's like how, but I don't think it's like that for every team. I fight for my team, I've always looked at as like no matter what gun you have, you do the, you do it. Like, you do the play.

No matter if it's like, it requires you do a long range gunfight, you might have to play it a little differently, but you have to do this because then it makes the flow. This play needs to be done. Exactly. I don't care if you're running an AR or a sub like, this is the right play to do. We need to just do this right play. That makes the game flow so well because it makes it easier to like read the mini map and like know what to pick up. And when you get that down, like you just look dominant. I think that's like the best playstap.

But the thing is like people have so many different play styles from different teams that like when you put like our team this year, we had like ups and downs because like we probably just had like a little clashing on how we wanted to play the game, which is fine. It always happens because everybody, like I said, Optic played differently. AG came from Seattle. They played differently.

I came from LAT. We all played differently. But I think once you get it down to the point where like everybody understands it's easy to play this way, it's the best way. What about when you used to play Optic and run their shit? what about Optics play style were you what did you think they did wrong?

So me, I mean always I've always like these guys are slow as fuck No they were just they were they're kind of slow But they also just played too many kills Like it required them So like I think they made it hard on themselves Like they were they made themselves like need to get so many kills to win Whereas like mine is like we should all go evenly 20 kills

And we could get out slated and we can still win this shit But like Optic was like always that like in W2 When we played them it was like Shotsie, Hooke, Brandon, like, they would just

only, they would just bang the hill, which is really good. Yeah. But it's like, if you're losing your gun fights,

like on land, you lose. And it's like, it could be a bad tendency because if you don't have a slowdown button, like a stop button, you can just let the game get out of control. And I think,

like, even MWT, we weren't the best team. We were probably like, maybe top six, but we would always be optic just because of the fact that, like,

they kind of just like, don't stop going. And if they're not getting kills or winning the gun fights they're supposed to be, then it's like, it looks bad. God, I hated that game, dude. Yeah. All right, I'm gonna ask this, and then I have to go piss.

I'm about a piss. I even pissed before this, just so this doesn't happen, but I'm about to piss myself again. When you joined Dashy, Fred Shotsie, was, do you think there was a role you took on? I think, going to it, it was. Like, who's the guy that's, like, texting, yo, everyone joined it this time. Yo, after this series, let's go for this. Are you? I feel like you would kind of be running.

that. Nah, so when it comes to like setting up stuff like that, it's, it's more AG, which is kind of maybe mind-blowing to some people, but a little bit. Yeah. But I think, like, in terms of- That's literally who I wouldn't. Like, I would think, like, Dashy, like, he wants this shit bad. Like, maybe he stepped it up like that.

I was thinking JP or, like, Damon. Well, the coaches do what the coaches do. Yeah. But. So, when we got last at Major 4, A.G. was like, yeah, we should have, like, a call together. It kind of just, like, basically telling each other what, like, we don't like about what they do. like you do or what we do like about each other.

Stuff like that. But me, I'm just always talking regardless. So like when the map ends instantly, I'm yapping. I'm bitch and I'm just like, yeah, what we do here? Blah, blah, blah, blah. So like, I'm probably the main vocalist of the team but I don't like to set stuff up like that. Like when it comes to like outside the room, the like scrim room, I don't really do stuff like that. I'll rather do it on my own. But like in the room

I won't everybody. And that was like our main thing after major four going to the champs is like everybody in the room and the practice room. need to speak up. Yeah. And like that's just me. And I feel like a lot of, a lot of times on, on teams it'll be like,

they might lose a tough series. And then it's just like, they're sad, depressed, and then you just kind of go home. But I feel like with, with your team, I can't do that. With, yeah,

with your team, like, no, you're not leaving this fucking room. We're talking about what the fuck does happen. This year I had a lot of, like, that because I think people like because people like to see it when you're doing good like oh

kittens on ass they we're doing good but it's like when it's bad like when we're doing bad and I'm like doing the oh and like the processes and shit and like I chose you like kind of not coming at their neck but you're doing what you should fucking do but I'm not doing that's how you get better I won't do it for the camera that's the thing I'm like I'm gonna be me regardless of the camera's on off so like that's me not at all times because when we're playing good I don't have to say much but when we're playing bad like people need to like hear and like I want to hear it like people say it to me like that that was a thing like I feel like major four was probably my worst split of the year and like my teammates didn't really say anything about me gameplay wise and I'm like brother I'm getting slammed can we like like

there's no way I'm playing perfect I'm getting shit on somebody people like our team is like you're like you kind of just like you're like we can tell you're losing fool during our maps like we need you to keep your energy up like your energy contagious I'm like oh okay cool but I'm like I just went double-negged. You know what I mean? Like, you gotta be seeing something. You gotta be seeing something I'm doing wrong. Like, not just my energy.

And granted, I've always been told my energy is contagious. Yeah. Like, if I'm hyper happy, we win. So that's why to smile. All right, well, let me piss real quick. Sorry about that. Oh, you're good. So you just won Worlds.

Hmm. What have you been doing since? So we won. We obviously went to the EWC. And then. Fuck that event. Yeah. Fuck that online single LM event.

We went to Kot. I was a Kot next. That was pretty cool in my first year. I don't know. I've been just in the gym. Literally, I've been working out and running as much as possible. Yeah.

Just because I'm going to Japan at the end of this month and I want to be like, because like last time I went to Japan, I was like not conditioned for it. It's a lot of walking. Really? Really. I was just like. Wait, is that? Are you really looking at it like that?

No, I'm not working out for Japan. I'm just saying, like, I'm just working out, and I'm just like, I don't want to be there, like, out of breath. Like, I don't know. And I also, like, obviously you want to be fit. But that was one thing that in Vanguard, when I became, like, really good, like, at the end of the game, I was working out a lot. And for some reason, when I work out, I play so much better. So, like, going to the champs this year, like, and I was working out a lot. I feel like that's been the opposite for a lot of people.

Like, Seth was that way. I'm pretty sure. Like, the fit, Seth. And I even felt like that with me. Fit Seth was bad. Whenever, and I think, I mean, you just look at the players. No one's fit besides Doug Sensor Martin. And then you're like, but that's Doug Sensor Martin.

So it's like there's no good example of like someone being fit. That's actually crazy. It's literally me. And it like helping their gameplay. I'm telling the gym. Like it was like night and day. People like it obviously wasn't exactly that. But like when I was in the gym going hard every day at the scrimms,

I was just coming back next day. God, like, I'm just like, I don't know what about it is, like, working for me, but it works. And then, like, once again. Do you think about, like, the scrimms and shit while you're in the gym? The fact, like, my mind works like Dr. Strange, I swear. Like, when it comes to, like, cod, bro. Because, like, anybody will tell you that's working with me, like, I have the best, like, memory when it comes to cod.

I can remember a map from, like, last week, two weeks, three weeks, like, and I can tell you exactly how the map, like, played out. Or, like, whose era went where. And, like, even if I'm not in the play across. the map, I can tell you what happened across the map, like, just like this. That's like APG. Yeah, so it's just like, it's just, Cod is like drilled in me. So even at the gym, I'm just like thinking like, I was going to the gym before champs.

And I'm just thinking about all the plays or all the gunfights I can get into the next day. And I'm just wired in. Like, if I play, if I get into this 1V1, S&D, I need to play it this way. How often, how often do one v1s or certain gunfights in certain spots happen during events? like during like whether it's champs or or a major that don't happen in practice a lot of the time that's why i call like well the thing is like the way teams practice is so fake and this whole year like people are on my ass because i'm calling it fake cod i'm like practice is literally fake cod because teams like don't play for the win in practice they barely play for the win in the matches

but they at least do certain things so we're like i feel like in matches they're easily readable like the plays they're making are like the right place and now they're more readable and i think like for me that loves Cod to be played a certain way like if you go rewatch my first map versus New York and Grand Finals like that was like me

reading every single thing perfectly and when I'm in that flow like you I just look on stop because like everything is playing out exactly how like I'm imagining oh there can be a guy here oh there's a guy boom kill it's like when stuff like that happens

like there is no better feeling especially for a player that at me like me that thinks about Cod at like a I guess a higher level because I look at it as like there is fundamentals on how to play Kyle correctly. You know that gun fight

where on invasion is I think it's right before you guys win or maybe it's like I don't know maybe it's the S&D but it's like one shot outside of Blockbuster and he's laying down

and he's looking in or he's just staying alive and then you hear AG go DVD DVDs yeah yeah like that fight's not happening in scripts. You would never run into

that situation ever in script first of all S&D, that's the fakeest thing you'll never get no situations and like yeah thing about antho is like his on the fly

like decision making it's so crazy that like what he does in practice is like what he doesn't match it so it's like he might fly off some dolphin dog or something and you might kill him in the screen and be like

what does this guy doing but he'll actually do stuff like that have you ever said anything to him about overheating I mean that was like one of the biggest things this year well that's the biggest thing of like one of my things about him was like he like when you used to play against him would you notice him yeah yeah

so like there was one like a few players this year where like he could have just made the simple play and just like went forward but he tried to make the more godlike like let me go let me go flank them three piece them in the back but i'm like yo aunt like listen you could have just came to the point like we could all shot them together you're good you didn't have to go go for the bang shots he play uh there's a few time he does that the crowd erupts there's like a play you just like oh let me just sit in this corner shoot in the back or there's a player where you can run at them and like go troll but uh i mean it's not it's like because like people like that you got to just let them do their thing and that's one thing i noticed about this team is like a lot of the

times a lot of times he does get that three pieces exactly and then it's just like oh well fuck i guess i think towards it when we started playing bad like everybody just understood that we just had to be closer together on the map i guess it's the best way to put it yeah um but and it's like the only thing about anne is like he's not confrontational he won't say anything to you about what you did most of the time. Yeah. And he definitely has a lot. He thinks it a lot.

Because he thinks about God the way I think about it. Like there needs to be correct plays. So like, so you try to get him to open up? Like, yo, say the thing. The whole year, I'm just like, bro, you should be talking. I think they were in Monorff.

I think maybe Vanguard. Wait, what was before Monofer 2? Vanguard. Vanguard. Okay. I think those two years, there was a little, there were blow, like Shotsi would blow up.

Exactly. Page would text and be like, yo, ants tweaking right now. Like there's... Wait, what do you mean? Like between the team. Because he would just, like, build up everything in it. And I think it's because he wouldn't say anything for three months and then all of a sudden, blah. Yeah.

That's me in like every relationship. Yeah, that's same. That's why I like having somebody else on the team that's like talking about. So like AG, AG talks a lot. Like, he's very vocal. He, like, is very expressive when things, like, he doesn't like things. So I do like that. But yeah.

I think because just the fact that he has a good mind for Cod, he should be talking. It's kind of like that, I guess it's just like a thing where like you know somebody's like really good at something, but they don't want to pursue it. And it's like, bro, you're got like, do, like talk. All you do is talk. Like nobody can, like, you can't. Like, you can't tell you. Because me, I'm very like, I guess like just loose with my words. I'll just say like you just fucking trolled that shit.

Just direct. Yeah, I'm just like, what the hell is there's a camera behind you? Rogers. I see JP in the camera. I was telling him, I was telling him, like, whenever we did around the bar, I was like, he was on, you're on TK and then, and then 100 Thieves. Yeah. Then Optic. So he's always been on like a hoodie org, like a content based.

Yeah. Like he's never been on like a, I mean, I can't even, I don't want to throw any shots, but he's never been on like a, like a, like a TSM where they're just like, all right, here's your money. Now go play. Yeah. Play. Yeah. Hope you do well at the event. Like there's not.

Yeah. I think that's like helped me a lot, though, because like I said, I don't, like I want. don't look over the camera and be like, oh, let me not, let me not say anything. Like, oh, is just speaking? If they want to edit it or cut it out, that's fine. I don't mind because even, I think maybe you texted me or somebody texted me. Oh, yeah, when I did the vision. Yeah, yeah, like, you texted me.

It was like, are you cool with me putting this in? Like, I like, I like that you were like talking, like doing this and like what you're doing practice. I'm like, yeah, that's fine. Like, I don't care. Like, nobody is going to be in that comments and convince me otherwise that, like, I'm being detrimental. So, I feel like that's one thing I definitely, like, don't mind is like,

a camera being around me because I'll stay myself like nobody's going to tell me to shut up how are you feeling about block up six I enjoy it I mean obviously we got shots you on our team so that's got to that's kind of lit that's probably isn't it nice with this insane omni movement but you're like we got shots yeah thank god I think the fact that like I mean really seriously is a real really look at it I think our team's like one of the fastest teams in the league so I think the game helps us a lot and it also could be three sub a three sub meta and obviously see i've ran us up before so i mean i'm excited for the game it's a fun game it's fast pace i think the maps i don't know i've played all the maps but i think some of the maps could be good so

we'll see trey rick i don't i don't know they'll never listen to this but i'll do anything for a three three gun meta i'll do anything yeah oh there's been a three gun meta three gun meta three gun there's been a three gun meta twice in cod yeah twice what was that b04's one b04 there were three guns and it was that's the best it's like the most balanced was it like a SMG mid range a mid range AR and a long range AR really and that would be cool in in IW there were

three guns too it was the or two had it too because you had the PPSH the bar and you had the STG oh did people use the bar the bar is OP but then like they had like the Bandsome attachments on it and the FG yeah I remember those are the best matters

but usually the middle gun is like the do it all yeah Is that what the best person runs? Yeah, most of the time. Is that what you run? Oh, and B-O-4, I did run that, yeah. Would you rather be SMG or AR? I've always, I've always, like, thrive when I was like the-

I don't think you realize how good of a question that is. He has no idea how good of a question. I've always thrived that, like- Well, I think, because I used to, I swear I saw you running the SMG before. I've ran everything. I've ran main AR. And then you join us, and then you're running AR. I'm like, I trust it to work.

I think I've just always seen you with a sub. Yeah, with our team now, like, I mean, they kind of get, I just like it this way, because our team now gives me, like, the green light to use whatever I want. Like, Ken, decide what you want to use on this map. Like, that's what I like. Because, like, in B-O-4, I would pull out, like, the main AR gun, which was, like, the ICR. I will pull it out on certain maps because I'm like, I know this is OP. Like, if we run three of them, and, like, that was thinking about Optic,

they never ran three against us. And we would, we would, like, beat them because of it. And maybe they didn't feel that way, but we knew it was. like a part of like the plan like let's run three ICRs and that was like based off my feel I would pull out a sub sometimes bought this gun like it kind of just has to do with the game and the map yeah and that's why I'm the flex player because I like I can I'm flexible I can use whatever and that's when I like it I don't like to be just like bound to one gun granted this year I just ran AR for most the time because the AR was kind of like the best gun for most of it dude the crazy the crazy part

about the beta is everybody's everybody's talking about that one gun the jack Yeah, yeah. But dude, there was there were three or two other additional subs at Codin X. Yeah. The other one was fire. What was that one called?

The Tanto? Yeah. Dude, it shoots like Pto. Yeah. But it's like, Bing, Bing, Bing. It's like two shot and kill.

That's a thing. I mean, they always say like, well, for me, they've always said, like, just give Ken the best gun in the game and he'll, but like, I don't ever think about that way. I just like to use whatever gun. Do you want snipers back?

I mean, I have brand on my team. He's always, been a good sniper. The thing about snipers is like, it can be cheesy to like the fact that like in B-O-4 we had STEM so like you could instantly be one shot and then get your health back instantly. So in that game a sniper could just like

chow whatever and then go behind a wall stem and then reach out. So it was kind of cheesy in that game. But the thing about the snipers is that it's kind of like on the same play of those smokes. So if smokes are bad, snipers are OP. But if smokes are too good then it's like well you can't, the snipers are useless. So it's kind of like that balancing.

Have they decided in the beta? Because I've seen tweets that snipers are already G-Aid. It's because they have aim-assus. So like when sniper, like in B-O-4, there was no amicest on the sniper. But people were still good with the sniper. Yeah. That's like the thing. So it hasn't been decided yet.

In Cold War, ruin snipers. Because in Cold War, you could aim down a site and there was no flinch when you got hit. So you get hit and you just tanked the shots because there's 150 health. And then you just kill the guy. It's also playing on PCs compared to Xboxes. It's just so much easier to aim. Yeah. And another thing, too, is like, if snipers in,

smokes have to be in, but then there's a thing called, like, one-wing, like, you've heard of see it. Like, you've heard of see it, like, you one-way of smoke, like, and Cod, it's way, it's, like, really, really bad. So people do that. And then people are like, well, we got to take out smokes. Well, then snipers are out. So it's just kind of like, it's a weird thing.

I'm worried. I am nervous about ranked play because, Because ranked play in Cold War, people don't really remember it because the actual system was so bad. But one thing that was an issue in Cold War is that in the actual league, there were like GAs and ways to play. So you guys made it as like fun to watch as possible. But there's none of that in the ranked play. So everyone gets a free trophy system. So at all times, there's 13 trophies on the map.

So if you throw, if you throw. If you throw anything anywhere, it's getting hit by a trophy. You think something like that might happen? Oh, yeah, because unless they, because they're going to have to build it into the game. The rank comes out in six months. Yeah. Well, dude, apparently it's coming out first season. Really?

That's what I'm more so scared about. I'm kind of like, thinking about it recent. I'm thinking about yesterday, I'm like, it's good that it's coming out early, but is it? Because I feel like, rain play gets boring so fast. And like, there's... You have to have a... Dude, the only... The issue with Cod is there's never been a good, like, reward.

Rewards, exactly. And then there's also hackers. That's like, Oh, okay, well, yeah. That's like something that you can't control, but, like, I think the reward system needs to be better because, like, bro, you're giving me some, like, skin or camo that, like, is worse than the default camo

or stuff like that. Like, you know what I mean? So I feel like it's not worth grinding to be top 250. I'm top 50 for what? To have my picture on the screen. That's cool. But I'm on a leaderboard with 70% of it being cheaters and shit. Exactly.

So, yeah. Blake's like, they were talking about, ranked play at Codnex and everybody was like, yeah. And then all the people that played it were like, we can't talk about the actual issue here. That's what I'm scared of because I think like that you gotta add

you gotta add some spice to it. Like that's what I liked about last year's game is that some of the hard port maps like they changed the rotation of hard points or like put the hard points in different spots. And I'm on like the, I think I'm in the minority on this one, but I think after every event,

if they did that on, Let's say the map set is this, this, this. Like, if after every event they change the hills on each map, I think it would make Kod so much more cooler or fun. Because then everybody isn't playing the same game for three, four months. It's like you can see a different play style and like different. I even like when they add when they add and take out maps. Like I love that shit.

Like six start comes in. It puts like such a, I love the midseason rotation like a midseason map rotation. Kind of like Counter strike. Counter Strike, you never know what maps are, like, I have no idea what maps are in right now. Yeah. But when I was watching back in the day, I could name all the maps. And then people were like, and same in Val, they're like, I can't wait for split to, or, I can't wait for these bind to come back or breeze. And then when it does come back, it's hype.

100%. That we don't have that in God. But, yeah, so do you think the, do you think the Omni movement is like as big of a deal as people are making it out to be? I don't think the Omni movement is like the issue. So, like, I think Omni Movement, people kind of got it mixed up. is like they think Omni movement is the like the like main movement of the game but it's really the dolphin diving and the sliding that is like the harder like skill gapy part of the game like the omni moving you just you move your left stick left right back like how do you do it like how are you

diving so you can so like you have to so now like usually when you play cod you just use your left stick forward because you sprint but now you want to dive to the side you have to move your left stick to the side and then just press dive and then you dive to the left or you dive to the right You just got to, I feel like the left stick is just more like, dom, like you have to actually use it now. And I think people will get used to that. But I think the diving and not messing up your dive or your slide is like, what actually is like going to be like a skill gap in the game.

I don't think the Omni movement being able to sprint left, right, backs, is like, I guess bad or like a issue. It's not that big video. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So like, I don't know. I think it should always being caught though. I swear it feels so smooth, just being able to run and all. Are people slide canceling around every corner, every two seconds?

I haven't played it. That's going to be caught from forever. Those days are old. Stand it, bro. I don't want to do a button combo. Okay, but that's the thing about this game. That's the thing about this game. They made it easier to do, like, they don't want button combos.

So they made a lot of like assist stuff in the settings so where you can make the slide and everything way easier. You're just pressing your analog stick. You slide and it or like pop right up. Exactly. They made a lot of stuff that like made it easier for casuals. the fact that they don't want button And then the actual good people are like, man, why the fuck

they make this shit? But we'll just like not use it. Like, we'll just ga that in our stuff. Yeah. Or like ban it, but. I'm just, people don't like to hear that, but. I'm just so sick of slide cancelling. Like, I just miss the old. Iron up.

Stand on a heady. You iron up. You go on a fucking streak. Unk status right now. That is unc status. No, it is for sure. Back in my day. Y'all are excited for Blackop Six.

Yeah. I haven't, I was going. I was going to stream it. Shut up. Just shut up. I was going to stream it. I haven't streamed it so long. I was going to stream it.

Then I looked. I saw a scump with like 24,000 viewers. And then I saw Zinny with like 200. And I was like, where the fuck would I be? I was like, all right, so there's no point of streaming this. Yesterday, we got on to play it. And they were all on. And I was like, what do y'all want to do, man?

There's no point of streaming that game. At that point, you better just play the game that you want to play. Zinny played with them. The first, right when it dropped, Zinny's on with like Seth, Shotsie, everyone. Next day, I don't see Zinny on all day until I see Seth like five hours into his stream. Then I see Zinni sign on. I'm like, okay, I see. I mean, you have to.

Yeah, like you literally, okay, Seth's going to get off in an hour or two. He'll hit me with the raid. It's all calculated. I'm at the Rangers night. That's what you got to do. I'm at Optic Rangers night, and I'm looking around. It's top of the second. I look around, I'm like, Seth, Zen, Shotsie, Kenny, Nate Schott, Symphony.

I was like, boys, I got to go. I'll see you guys. I will see you guys later. And I left and went home and streamed. Or the first day. Everyone was there. The first day Seth was streaming it. I think it was like 7 p.m.

and you tweeted and you're like, I was like, it's about time to get off. It's about time for you to get off at 7 p.m. We're trying to start our stream. All right, man. It's been nine hours.
