Speaker 1:
[00:00] Amazon presents Jeff vs. Taco Truck Salsa. Whether it's Verde, Roja, or the orange one. For Jeff, trying any salsa is like playing Russian roulette with a flamethrower. Luckily, Jeff saved with Amazon, and stocked up on antacids, ginger tea, and milk. Habanero, more like habanero, yes. Save the everyday with Amazon.
Speaker 2:
[00:30] You can do all of your work online.
Speaker 3:
[00:32] Yep, yep.
Speaker 4:
[00:32] So Fisher also has a Halo program?
Speaker 3:
[00:34] They do. They have like eight sport programs. Is that currently running?
Speaker 4:
[00:38] Is that currently running?
Speaker 3:
[00:39] I think so.
Speaker 2:
[00:57] I'm picking up drugs after this.
Speaker 4:
[00:59] Drugs?
Speaker 2:
[01:01] Back. Some painkillers and shit? Dude, and I've been sick. I got a lot to talk about, about me, this pod.
Speaker 4:
[01:08] Yeah, I'm sure. I have no idea what you're gonna be saying. My back hurts. I tweaked my back. I used to be this, oh nine.
Speaker 2:
[01:20] Yeah, it somehow goes back to oh nine.
Speaker 4:
[01:23] Welcome back to another episode of The Flycast episode. Ooh, give the fuck actually 186.
Speaker 2:
[01:32] We got a special guest today, the newest.
Speaker 4:
[01:35] We got Carson Newberry in the fucking building.
Speaker 2:
[01:38] Carson Newberry, welcome to The Flycast.
Speaker 4:
[01:40] And the reason we're using Brack's full Govee name is because Matt did some research, deep dive.
Speaker 3:
[01:47] Yeah, it's a deep dive.
Speaker 4:
[01:48] And we have Brack's government name.
Speaker 2:
[01:51] I'm glad you did that, cause I did my own research. I googled it, went to, I googled Brack.
Speaker 4:
[01:58] Okay.
Speaker 2:
[01:58] Brack Call of Duty, I think is what I put in. His wiki came up, I kind of saw how many years he played. And I was like, yeah, that's right.
Speaker 4:
[02:07] That was it?
Speaker 2:
[02:07] I started clicking on some shit, and that's how I fucking got to, so.
Speaker 4:
[02:11] That is how you do your research at Hagerstown U.
Speaker 2:
[02:14] Yeah, well, you guys were talking about fucking colleges and shit whenever I came in here.
Speaker 4:
[02:19] Yeah, so Brack, he played. I'm going to just talk for you if that's cool. Because Nick was 15 minutes late, so we've been chopping it up.
Speaker 2:
[02:29] 15 minutes. It's 33.
Speaker 4:
[02:31] 33 minutes late.
Speaker 2:
[02:32] And there's traffic, by the way.
Speaker 4:
[02:34] Me and Brack have been chopping it up.
Speaker 2:
[02:35] Because, no, they've been eating motherfuckers alive.
Speaker 4:
[02:38] They have been.
Speaker 2:
[02:38] Because SCUF shows up late.
Speaker 4:
[02:41] He stopped caring.
Speaker 2:
[02:43] Yeah, he didn't even show up on Friday, last Friday.
Speaker 4:
[02:45] That baby came out where he just said, nah, that's it for me.
Speaker 2:
[02:49] They've been on people's ass about being late. But I wasn't traffic.
Speaker 4:
[02:52] I wasn't late. I'm from Arizona.
Speaker 2:
[02:56] Two-minute walk.
Speaker 4:
[03:00] So Brack plays for the Huntsmen currently, and also his college.
Speaker 2:
[03:05] Oh shit.
Speaker 4:
[03:05] He got a full ride playing Cod.
Speaker 3:
[03:09] Business.
Speaker 2:
[03:10] Yeah, I guess explain how that fucking happens. Or I guess they don't care if you do both. How does that even become a thing?
Speaker 3:
[03:22] I was kind of giving... Because you're 26. Yeah. Do you know... Were you following Cod in BO4? Okay, you know, UYU?
Speaker 2:
[03:32] Do I know who?
Speaker 3:
[03:33] UYU, the org.
Speaker 2:
[03:34] I've heard of it. Sounds familiar.
Speaker 3:
[03:36] The manager that went there, he works for Fisher now, like the college. Wait, what's UYU? It's just an organization.
Speaker 2:
[03:45] I thought you meant it was a college for a second.
Speaker 3:
[03:46] No, no, no, no. They were in the league in BO4.
Speaker 2:
[03:50] Okay.
Speaker 3:
[03:52] He was general manager there, and then he just like reached out, and I was just like, yeah. And then I just do all my work online. So it works out.
Speaker 4:
[04:01] He offered you a full ride, like you were recruiting people?
Speaker 3:
[04:04] Yep.
Speaker 2:
[04:04] Yep.
Speaker 3:
[04:05] They lost Dylan Rex. So whenever Dylan Rex is graduated, they have a budget for full ride kids.
Speaker 2:
[04:18] So you never have to go to campus or anything?
Speaker 3:
[04:20] No.
Speaker 2:
[04:20] You don't have to live in a certain area?
Speaker 3:
[04:22] No.
Speaker 2:
[04:23] What the hell? That's like cheating.
Speaker 4:
[04:24] That's what I said. That's what I said.
Speaker 2:
[04:26] That's what they're going to start doing.
Speaker 4:
[04:27] That's what I said.
Speaker 2:
[04:28] Because I think like, sorry, but Spartan the Dog, I think you mentioned it earlier, I'm pretty sure he lives around, I think he like goes in or some shit. Or does he not? Does he do it online?
Speaker 3:
[04:41] He doesn't online. He lives in Tennessee with me.
Speaker 4:
[04:43] Oh, he lives in Tennessee?
Speaker 3:
[04:44] Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:
[04:45] I know about him. You can do all of your work online?
Speaker 3:
[04:48] Yep, yep, yep.
Speaker 4:
[04:48] So Fisher also has a Halo program?
Speaker 3:
[04:51] They do. They have like eight.
Speaker 2:
[04:53] Is that currently running?
Speaker 4:
[04:55] Is that currently running?
Speaker 3:
[04:56] Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 4:
[04:58] Are they currently taking scholarships?
Speaker 2:
[05:04] I wonder if I could like, if I went back and competed in college, would I be like, or would I just be the dog?
Speaker 3:
[05:09] You'd be the dog. I promise you'd be the dog because Sparty just had something else to say.
Speaker 4:
[05:15] Yeah, no, it's not.
Speaker 2:
[05:17] I'm just like dead even with them. I'm just, let's go. Turning 35.
Speaker 4:
[05:24] Matt, can you look up what the most popular, E-sports school? No, no, no. The most popular academic programs at Fisher are? I wanna see what Nick.
Speaker 2:
[05:36] So you go to Fisher.
Speaker 4:
[05:37] I wanna see what Nick will go back to school for. Or you don't go. I don't go. He doesn't go. He logs in, chat GPTs everything, and then scrims.
Speaker 2:
[05:47] So Fisher College in Boston, that sounds like a good school. There you go, Nick.
Speaker 4:
[05:51] You can do criminal justice corrections.
Speaker 2:
[05:55] I might. I was thinking about, you know, once I get fired from OpTic, what can we, I've already talked to the lady at my dog park. She has like an AI business that I could be like the sort of manager of, see, I don't know these fucking titles. Not manager, but like head of influencer something. some dumbass title they give people.
Speaker 4:
[06:32] Yeah, no, you sound perfect for the position.
Speaker 2:
[06:37] I'm going to have the job two years down the line, and someone's going to show this to them.
Speaker 4:
[06:41] Look at this, like this is the guy that you hired for your AI business?
Speaker 2:
[06:44] So, okay, Fisher College, is that a good college?
Speaker 3:
[06:48] I think so. I mean, it's a private university.
Speaker 4:
[06:51] He doesn't know.
Speaker 2:
[06:53] I mean, I would think so. I just thought I'd sign in the website.
Speaker 3:
[06:55] It's a private university, so.
Speaker 2:
[06:57] Oh, shit.
Speaker 4:
[06:59] So, do I know any of your teammates for Fisher?
Speaker 3:
[07:02] Phantoms.
Speaker 4:
[07:03] Oh, yeah, with the Z?
Speaker 3:
[07:04] Yep, yep. Dark-sized.
Speaker 4:
[07:07] Yes, oh, okay, okay.
Speaker 3:
[07:08] And then, Confid. He's kind of newer.
Speaker 4:
[07:12] I'm not familiar with them.
Speaker 2:
[07:13] Do any of them go to the school?
Speaker 3:
[07:15] No.
Speaker 2:
[07:17] What do you think about that? Okay, wait, you started going to win.
Speaker 3:
[07:20] They're super serious about plagiarism and using AI. They AI grade check everything.
Speaker 4:
[07:29] I can imagine, yeah. I can imagine. Did you all have jerseys?
Speaker 3:
[07:33] We do have jerseys, yeah.
Speaker 2:
[07:35] So when did you start going? This wasn't fresh out of high school. I guess that wasn't, did it exist back then? You're 26, so say like eight years ago, you graduated.
Speaker 3:
[07:46] It was starting to with League of Legends. There was like a school that had like an eSport, a high school that had an eSports program for League.
Speaker 2:
[07:53] China's always ahead of us.
Speaker 3:
[07:54] Yeah, and then...
Speaker 2:
[07:56] You weren't supposed to agree with that. I was just trying to get my attention in the comments.
Speaker 3:
[08:04] I say I started a year and a half ago, so it hasn't been too long. Oh, shit. But I'm doing like summer, so I'm trying to like speed run.
Speaker 4:
[08:11] You're trying to get it done in like two and a half or three?
Speaker 2:
[08:13] Okay, cool. Oh, you're just nonstop all fucking year.
Speaker 4:
[08:19] If you graduate in three years, can you still play your senior year?
Speaker 3:
[08:23] No. You have to have like a certain amount of hours to play.
Speaker 4:
[08:27] Because when I play NCAA football, I be graduating, and then I can... I graduate my senior year, but then I redshirt my freshman year, so I can play my senior year but not go to school.
Speaker 2:
[08:39] I don't understand any of that stuff.
Speaker 4:
[08:42] What? Redshirt? Redshirt freshman?
Speaker 2:
[08:44] Whatever you just said.
Speaker 4:
[08:45] It's like when you go to school... Well, it used to be like this before the NIL, but when you go to school, your freshman year, you don't play, because all the seniors are playing and the juniors are playing. But so you can be on the team for a year, but it doesn't count, so you're a redshirt freshman. So then the next year, you're an actual freshman, and you've got four years of eligibility. You've already gone to school for one year. So you're going to graduate in four years, and you're going to play for four years. So there's going to be a gap year, your senior year, where you don't have to go to school and you can just play.
Speaker 3:
[09:19] Do you know why they use that term?
Speaker 4:
[09:21] Redshirt freshman?
Speaker 3:
[09:22] Red?
Speaker 4:
[09:23] Can you look it up? Why redshirt? What is redshirt? Yeah, I've never even thought about that. Why do they?
Speaker 3:
[09:30] That has no correlation, right?
Speaker 4:
[09:32] I guess. But now with the NIL, you can go to any school that's going to play you. So like, I feel like more true freshmen, which is when you actually play your freshman year. Oh, likely the University of Nebraska player Warren Alfson, who wore a redshirt during practices while sitting out to gain strength. What? A guy from the University of Nebraska wore a redshirt during practices while sitting out to gain strength, and that's where redshirt freshman came from? What?
Speaker 2:
[10:05] To gain strength.
Speaker 3:
[10:07] Holy shit.
Speaker 4:
[10:09] Yeah, so redshirt freshmen, all they do is go to practice and lift weights the whole year. So by the time they're an actual freshman.
Speaker 2:
[10:21] I mean, it probably is a big difference going from, unless you're just some freak in high school. When you go into, everyone in high school is still a scrawny fuck.
Speaker 4:
[10:31] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[10:31] Then you go to college and it's like, wait, what the fuck is going on here?
Speaker 4:
[10:34] There's like massive men all around you.
Speaker 2:
[10:37] Yeah. It's a different fucking. Jay Biebs. James Sellers just walked in with his fresh. See what pisses me off is he can cut his own hair. Why doesn't even like go to the barbershop? He just gives it like a two.
Speaker 4:
[10:56] Yeah, you can tell.
Speaker 2:
[10:57] But James Sellers just walked in. Beaver Fever, the last Brack, you a Beaver fan? No, we're going to come back to this. But you're not a Beaver fan?
Speaker 4:
[11:05] You're a Beaver guy?
Speaker 2:
[11:06] No.
Speaker 4:
[11:08] What's your music of choice?
Speaker 3:
[11:10] Bro, I'm all over the place. Country.
Speaker 4:
[11:13] Oh, that's that Fisher Esports shit.
Speaker 3:
[11:16] No, no.
Speaker 2:
[11:17] That's that Fisher racism. That Boston racism.
Speaker 3:
[11:22] It's all over the place. The rap, hip-hop, pop. Who's your favorite rapper? I don't even want to say some of my boy stuff.
Speaker 2:
[11:31] I don't want to say it on this book. Wait, what?
Speaker 3:
[11:34] I mean, I like everyone. I like Drake. That's a common answer.
Speaker 4:
[11:39] Man, he did research.
Speaker 3:
[11:41] Bro, it's going to be weird. I listen to everything, like J. Cole.
Speaker 2:
[11:46] Just them two?
Speaker 3:
[11:47] Isn't that weird, though?
Speaker 2:
[11:49] No, that's perfectly normal. Yo, with Kendrick.
Speaker 3:
[11:55] I like Kendrick. That's what I'm saying. Like, I'm not picky, like, I don't know.
Speaker 4:
[12:01] Did you see how Drake's announcing his release date?
Speaker 2:
[12:06] Yeah, they already melted it, apparently.
Speaker 4:
[12:08] Oh, really?
Speaker 2:
[12:09] It was like some date to piss me off. It was like June 26th or some shit. I'm like, bro, what's the point? I'm going to forget this even happened.
Speaker 4:
[12:19] They melted the whole thing already?
Speaker 2:
[12:20] Yeah, did you see what Drake did? Not that you probably give a shit. Who's your favorite country artist?
Speaker 4:
[12:26] They put tons and tons of blocks of ice, and apparently under...
Speaker 2:
[12:31] His new album's called Iceman.
Speaker 4:
[12:33] Yeah, and under all of these blocks of ice is the release date. I wish he would have put... I wish he could have done something better than the release date. Like...
Speaker 3:
[12:41] That's actually cool.
Speaker 4:
[12:42] He could have put like... Oh my God, that's crazy. Where is it at?
Speaker 3:
[12:45] Is that in Canada?
Speaker 4:
[12:46] Downtown Toronto, yeah.
Speaker 3:
[12:47] Toronto, yeah.
Speaker 4:
[12:49] I wish he would have put like an actual CD in there.
Speaker 2:
[12:52] At least I think... I mean, I got on Twitter, fucking scrolled. It could have just been some absolute bullshit of like, AI ice melted with the... It was almost like a spray painted date. Just like at the very bottom.
Speaker 4:
[13:06] Nah, bro. I think you got it.
Speaker 2:
[13:08] See if the shit's still going on. Did I get twittered?
Speaker 3:
[13:10] I feel like that's scary nowadays. Like all the AI stuff, like what's real and what's not.
Speaker 2:
[13:15] It is getting a little weird. At least there's like AI to catch AI.
Speaker 3:
[13:20] Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:
[13:21] Like you uploaded on... You uploaded on Twitter or something.
Speaker 4:
[13:26] Holy shit, that video was AI? Bro, I thought that was real.
Speaker 2:
[13:30] Wait, that's AI?
Speaker 3:
[13:31] That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4:
[13:32] What?
Speaker 2:
[13:32] Oh, this video's AI.
Speaker 3:
[13:34] That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4:
[13:34] I mean, it makes sense at this point.
Speaker 2:
[13:36] I mean, why would that not be real?
Speaker 4:
[13:38] I watched that on my phone and I was like, oh, okay.
Speaker 2:
[13:41] Isn't that the one I responded to?
Speaker 4:
[13:43] Yeah, that's the one you responded to.
Speaker 2:
[13:45] Added you? I added Hitch in that and was like, meet me at the airport. And it's not even, like, Click Hitch's name? It's not even Hitch's fucking Twitter.
Speaker 4:
[13:55] Yeah, it's like my old Twitter. This is the Twitter I use to share my PS4 games. I was like, why are you?
Speaker 2:
[14:04] Wait, can we get a, I want Brack's opinion of some of these clips. Are those good clips?
Speaker 4:
[14:09] I can't remember.
Speaker 2:
[14:10] Go back to that.
Speaker 4:
[14:11] Fine when I hit your ride underscore.
Speaker 3:
[14:16] To the MW2 Clubs? Was that MW2?
Speaker 4:
[14:17] Bro, I couldn't even tell you. No, this is Warzone. This is me and George playing Warzone. I have no idea what this could even be.
Speaker 2:
[14:28] Bro, your POV is so distinct.
Speaker 4:
[14:31] What does that mean?
Speaker 3:
[14:32] Scanning the area.
Speaker 4:
[14:34] Yep.
Speaker 2:
[14:35] See? Someone's telling some noob shit. Wow.
Speaker 3:
[14:39] There wasn't even a clip. Why?
Speaker 4:
[14:43] Oh, he got Warzone. I think that was all I saved, was just that 180.
Speaker 3:
[14:51] Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2:
[14:52] I bet you did your screen right there.
Speaker 3:
[14:54] Nah.
Speaker 4:
[14:56] Probably. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2:
[14:57] And look at you saving it.
Speaker 4:
[15:00] Blake was probably like, what was that? And I was like, do you want to see it? I'll show it to you.
Speaker 3:
[15:03] World War II.
Speaker 2:
[15:05] See, this is what I saw. I was like, oh, this is hitch gameplay. Because I saw you plant it, and then I saw that. And then I saw...
Speaker 4:
[15:16] Why is this Twitter getting exposed? Because you suck.
Speaker 2:
[15:19] Why?
Speaker 3:
[15:19] You had to move around like that, though.
Speaker 2:
[15:21] But why is that clipped in posted?
Speaker 4:
[15:24] Because I was probably trolling. Yeah!
Speaker 3:
[15:27] Yeah!
Speaker 4:
[15:28] That was actually Maniac. 180.
Speaker 3:
[15:31] That was Brack.
Speaker 4:
[15:33] I don't think that was Brack.
Speaker 2:
[15:35] Are you nasty in this game? I kind of hated this game.
Speaker 4:
[15:38] I was terrible at this game. I was terrible at that game.
Speaker 3:
[15:42] Looking back at it now, like, that game had, like, no skill gap, like, at all.
Speaker 2:
[15:47] Really?
Speaker 3:
[15:48] No movement, in my opinion.
Speaker 2:
[15:50] What's this one? Ghost?
Speaker 4:
[15:51] Yeah, why am I playing with...
Speaker 3:
[15:54] Tropical?
Speaker 4:
[15:56] Yeah, I was playing with Tropical and Equip. I don't know why I was playing with... Was I playing with these guys?
Speaker 2:
[16:01] This was during your phase. It had to be.
Speaker 4:
[16:03] Yeah, I'm...
Speaker 2:
[16:04] This was probably 4.30 in the morning.
Speaker 4:
[16:07] I'm on ADMGs just for no reason, playing with Equip.
Speaker 2:
[16:12] See, whenever I see ghost gameplay, I like, it kind of, like...
Speaker 4:
[16:16] Reignites you, makes you want to go back to Hagerstown EU and start the eSports program.
Speaker 2:
[16:22] None of that, but it kind of just gives me, like... I did enjoy COD at one time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel like I haven't seen... I haven't had that feeling in...
Speaker 3:
[16:32] MW19. Crazy popular game. Really?
Speaker 2:
[16:36] I thought that was the shithole one.
Speaker 3:
[16:38] You think that, but for pubs... For pubs, people were still playing it, like, four years after.
Speaker 2:
[16:45] Wasn't there, like, no movement? Like, was it that game? Shitty-ass move. MW19, which one am I thinking of?
Speaker 4:
[16:53] That was the one you were pro-ing.
Speaker 3:
[16:55] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[16:56] I didn't watch her play. MW19, which one was this?
Speaker 3:
[17:04] Super popular pub game.
Speaker 4:
[17:06] This one.
Speaker 3:
[17:06] And this is when Warzone first came out.
Speaker 2:
[17:09] Is there a non-Warzone clip? Because Warzone's all the fucking same to me. That shit's been the same since, like, after Blackout. MW19, competitive.
Speaker 3:
[17:24] Competitive, I think, was bad.
Speaker 4:
[17:25] Yeah, I was about to say something.
Speaker 2:
[17:26] Or just type in MW19 Havoc.
Speaker 4:
[17:28] This is it, right here.
Speaker 2:
[17:29] Oh!
Speaker 4:
[17:29] This game.
Speaker 2:
[17:30] No, this one was decent.
Speaker 4:
[17:31] Yeah, I like this game.
Speaker 2:
[17:33] Oh, this was 5v5.
Speaker 4:
[17:34] I like this game, but I understand, I didn't play it competitively, so it was actually a shit show competitively.
Speaker 2:
[17:41] I did kind of like this.
Speaker 3:
[17:41] I don't think it was good for comp at all.
Speaker 4:
[17:43] No.
Speaker 3:
[17:43] But for pubs and Warzone...
Speaker 2:
[17:45] What made it not good for comp?
Speaker 4:
[17:48] I mean, dog, there's like...
Speaker 2:
[17:49] Besides 5v5.
Speaker 4:
[17:50] I could list like 15 things.
Speaker 3:
[17:53] 5v5, this guy's on PC.
Speaker 4:
[17:56] Yeah, this is Handler. He's a mouse and keyboard player.
Speaker 3:
[17:57] If I remember correctly, it was bad on the console.
Speaker 4:
[18:01] He was... This... Oh my god. This game, there's no dead silence.
Speaker 3:
[18:07] Yep. Sound whoring was super bad.
Speaker 4:
[18:09] Sound whoring was really bad. This was also the first year of a slide cancel. This was also the first year where...
Speaker 2:
[18:15] This was the first year of a slide cancel?
Speaker 4:
[18:17] Like, I hate...
Speaker 3:
[18:18] I hate that.
Speaker 4:
[18:20] In this ability. I mean, you could technically slide cancel in Black Ops 4. You could technically cancel a slide in other games. But as far as like this type of like cameraing around a corner...
Speaker 3:
[18:29] It was like circle circle X movement.
Speaker 4:
[18:31] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[18:32] I hate that shit. I hate button combos that you're supposed to do around every corner.
Speaker 4:
[18:38] You just ruin your hands.
Speaker 2:
[18:40] Like slide jump fucking something.
Speaker 4:
[18:43] And then there was the third game mode was Domination. So there's 5v5 Domination and you're just... The meta was to throw two smokes on the point and just...
Speaker 3:
[18:57] People just running around with smokes on Dom, just knifing people.
Speaker 4:
[19:00] Yeah.
Speaker 3:
[19:00] I remember that.
Speaker 4:
[19:01] Bum rushing the hill. It was just a terrible game, bro. It was as far as like competitive.
Speaker 2:
[19:07] Shout out to Mutineers.
Speaker 4:
[19:08] But the pub side of the game, it's probably the most opposite Call of Duty has ever been, where the competitive side, between the competitive side and the pub side. Like, they're two totally opposite and they're received very differently.
Speaker 2:
[19:24] As pub's been dead basically since then.
Speaker 4:
[19:27] Yes. Modern Warfare 3 was kind of popular. The sniping community really loves Cold War, but other than that, yeah, it's been dead ever since.
Speaker 2:
[19:39] I don't know how people remember all these f***ing cards. Yeah. I feel like this, yeah. This guy's just like dead.
Speaker 4:
[19:46] Yeah, pubs were dead.
Speaker 2:
[19:48] You know more than us, I think. You definitely know more than me.
Speaker 4:
[19:51] As far as, like, I only view content-wise.
Speaker 3:
[19:54] I view content-wise.
Speaker 4:
[19:55] Like, when I look up YouTube videos or Twitch streams. I don't know about the player base. I never really care about the player base, because I never notice it, honestly. But if the player base is up, then that's dope. But just nobody's making content on this game. And also, I base it on the reception, the reception of the people who are watching. Like when Jev, I watch Jev and he uploads, he uploads a bunch of different videos on a bunch of different games, and he still loves COD, so he'll upload a Black Ops 7 video, and all of his comments are like, you know I'm only watching this because I like you. Like, we don't like the game. I don't want to watch it. Stop uploading this game. And I'm like, oh, shit. So, yeah, I think this is the outlook of Call of Duty is a little bit in the gutter right now, but.
Speaker 3:
[20:52] Isn't there Blackout now for Warzone? Didn't they just add that?
Speaker 2:
[20:56] I heard about it. I don't know. Me and Hitch are, do you know about that?
Speaker 4:
[21:01] Yes, it's called Black Ops Royale.
Speaker 2:
[21:03] Is it out?
Speaker 4:
[21:05] It's been out for like a month.
Speaker 2:
[21:06] Does anyone care? No. I'm pretty sure people were like hyped about it.
Speaker 3:
[21:10] Yeah, I thought that's what I thought too.
Speaker 4:
[21:12] I think.
Speaker 2:
[21:12] So they have Blackout, but they still have Warzone. Yeah, they don't have Warzone. They only Blackout.
Speaker 4:
[21:18] I think the big map is only Black Ops Royale at this point. Yeah, this is Black Ops Royale.
Speaker 2:
[21:26] You ever learn how to do that in school?
Speaker 4:
[21:29] Yes, I did. Here's the church, here's the steeple.
Speaker 2:
[21:33] They didn't learn that in Boston. That is where you never even live.
Speaker 4:
[21:39] Yeah, this is... so Black Ops Royale is like... from what... all the clips I've seen, it's very fucking fast. Like, you have a grapple and you have a wing suit so you can jump off of any building with your wing suit.
Speaker 2:
[21:54] You a Warzone guy?
Speaker 3:
[21:55] Blackout guy? Not really. I mean, I was playing Blackout whenever I teamed with Matt, PO4, but...
Speaker 2:
[22:02] Formal?
Speaker 3:
[22:02] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[22:04] Damn, you were teaming with Warzone?
Speaker 3:
[22:05] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[22:06] You miss him?
Speaker 4:
[22:08] No.
Speaker 3:
[22:10] Yeah, I'm trying.
Speaker 2:
[22:11] no. That's what I like to fucking hear, man. Tired of him getting fucking D-bro.
Speaker 4:
[22:17] He's the D-writer.
Speaker 2:
[22:18] The only people to expose him are me and fucking Brack.
Speaker 4:
[22:22] Yeah.
Speaker 3:
[22:22] Not like Matt. I mean, I don't know. I was super young, like whenever I got to team with Matt, so I wasn't experienced at all.
Speaker 2:
[22:30] That is weird.
Speaker 3:
[22:31] So, you know, that probably costed him.
Speaker 4:
[22:33] Costed him?
Speaker 3:
[22:35] You costed him? I mean, we didn't place well.
Speaker 2:
[22:38] Wait, so who was your team when you teamed with Formal?
Speaker 3:
[22:41] Skyz, Slack, John.
Speaker 2:
[22:44] Skyz, Slack, John.
Speaker 3:
[22:46] And me and Matt.
Speaker 2:
[22:48] MW19?
Speaker 3:
[22:49] No, BO4.
Speaker 2:
[22:51] Thought I was about to... That was a 5v5. That was five...
Speaker 4:
[22:55] You weren't on the...
Speaker 2:
[22:55] How many seasons were...
Speaker 4:
[22:56] Wait, were you on the team that won?
Speaker 3:
[22:57] No, no. I was on Midnight or Denial.
Speaker 2:
[23:01] Yeah, but you probably got shitty-ass formal, too. Yeah. I think he should have... I'm, like, setting you up.
Speaker 3:
[23:09] Yeah, you're...
Speaker 2:
[23:11] You're trying.
Speaker 3:
[23:12] I think he should have ran, like, the Maddox in that game. Like, I think he was, like, going back and forth between, like, the ICR and the Maddox, but... Oh, no, he did run the Maddox.
Speaker 2:
[23:23] Was this Luminosity?
Speaker 3:
[23:25] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4:
[23:25] Okay.
Speaker 2:
[23:26] I do actually kind of remember that.
Speaker 3:
[23:27] I think it's the team with number two events.
Speaker 4:
[23:29] That was the year that he won, because he won an event where, like, Classic was running the rampart. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:
[23:37] The cheese event. Yep.
Speaker 4:
[23:38] There was a gun that was, like, godlike. It could shoot through any wall, and he... and it would, like, two bullet people if you hit him in the head. And he used it.
Speaker 3:
[23:46] It was insane.
Speaker 2:
[23:47] But, like, most people didn't use it?
Speaker 4:
[23:49] Yeah, he, like, discovered it, kept it on the DL, didn't scrim with it. Because he would have gotten GA'ed and pulled it out during the event.
Speaker 3:
[23:58] Wait, who?
Speaker 4:
[23:59] Classic.
Speaker 2:
[23:59] Classic?
Speaker 4:
[24:00] And then they banned the event.
Speaker 2:
[24:01] The CEO on Yarlstein?
Speaker 4:
[24:02] He was on... no, he was on Luminosity when he teamed with...
Speaker 2:
[24:06] Matt won an event with Luminosity.
Speaker 4:
[24:08] With Classic.
Speaker 2:
[24:09] With Classic.
Speaker 4:
[24:09] Using the rampart.
Speaker 2:
[24:10] Really?
Speaker 3:
[24:11] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[24:12] He just pulls it out, fuckin... Is this, like, a known thing?
Speaker 3:
[24:15] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[24:16] Like, he was never seen with the gun, but then at the event, he pulls it out.
Speaker 4:
[24:20] He used it the whole event.
Speaker 2:
[24:21] He was destroying?
Speaker 3:
[24:22] Gunless pulled it out, too. Yeah. Classic, he had, like, a 1.2, I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 2:
[24:28] And then Gunless was like, wait, what the?
Speaker 4:
[24:30] Just shooting. Dude, there's a clip where Classic just shoots through the entire wall. Are you looking for clips from it? There's, like, he's on Arsenal, and there's that wall where, like, the doors open up, and there's, like, that mid-pit area, and he just, like, shoots through the entire wall and kills somebody, and I watched Zuma watch it, and he was like, get this gun the fuck out of here!
Speaker 3:
[24:56] Because I think you could put, like, FMJ on it, too.
Speaker 4:
[24:58] Yeah, it was double FMJ, right?
Speaker 3:
[25:00] Yeah.
Speaker 4:
[25:00] I think it was double FMJ. Double FMJ.
Speaker 2:
[25:04] That's so...
Speaker 3:
[25:05] And it had no recoil, I think, too.
Speaker 2:
[25:09] It is what it is.
Speaker 4:
[25:10] Some people just do. Some people find it. Which I respect. Spartan did the same thing in Vanguard. Vanguard. There was just, like, this one gun that nobody used, and he pulled it out in an event, won the entire event as a rookie.
Speaker 2:
[25:23] Really?
Speaker 3:
[25:24] The valk?
Speaker 4:
[25:24] Yeah. He was a Challengers player.
Speaker 2:
[25:28] How do motherfuckers, like...
Speaker 3:
[25:30] No.
Speaker 2:
[25:32] I feel like they just, like, kind of... Here's the sub, here's the AR, and everyone's like, yeah, I'm too lazy to, like...
Speaker 4:
[25:38] Well, also, things are different.
Speaker 2:
[25:39] We're gonna venture out.
Speaker 4:
[25:40] Guns are different on LAN than they are on LAN. I guess it is true. Yeah. Some guns are just... Like, I remember in Black Ops 2, it was a big thing that people were using the Scorpion online, but if you used the Scorpion on LAN, you were, like, considered brain dead. Except for that one scum clip, apparently. But, I don't know, people have always said it was different. I played LAN COD for the first time this weekend. Never played COD on LAN before. Where? In California, one of the guys from the yard has, like... He, like, built his own LAN set in, like, his studio, and he just invites friends over and they drink beers and play COD. He was like, you want to come over? I was like, sure.
Speaker 2:
[26:19] Was that fun?
Speaker 4:
[26:20] Yeah, it was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun playing.
Speaker 2:
[26:22] Are you a LAN god?
Speaker 4:
[26:23] Played model. Oh, I was cooking. The console? Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[26:26] People that never play?
Speaker 4:
[26:27] That never play, yeah. I was cooking. It was a lot of fucking fun, though.
Speaker 2:
[26:31] LAN was always fucking fun. Did you have, Brack, in your, like, career, because I feel like a lot of it switched to...
Speaker 3:
[26:40] PC.
Speaker 2:
[26:41] PC and sort of the LAN stuff stopped. Were you ever going to, like, LANs, or your friend's houses, or did you ever, like, have that experience?
Speaker 3:
[26:50] Yeah. Oh my gosh. When I was super young, I went to, like, a 2v2...
Speaker 2:
[26:57] What's super young to you?
Speaker 3:
[26:59] 14.
Speaker 2:
[27:00] Okay.
Speaker 3:
[27:00] 15. I can't remember, like... So I started competing officially in World War II, but I played this, like, Black Ops 2, like, team deathmatch tournament.
Speaker 2:
[27:10] What?
Speaker 3:
[27:10] It was, like, a 2v2, $1,000 TDM tournament.
Speaker 2:
[27:14] On LAN?
Speaker 3:
[27:14] Yeah, yes.
Speaker 2:
[27:15] At, like, the LAN center?
Speaker 3:
[27:16] Yeah. And I remember that, and then, I mean, World War II was actual LAN, and then BO4 was actual LAN.
Speaker 2:
[27:28] Did you ever, like, go to your friend's house and, like, just play beside each other?
Speaker 3:
[27:31] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[27:33] Those were the days.
Speaker 4:
[27:34] Yeah, I never land. So you used to land, like...
Speaker 2:
[27:38] Bro, we used to, like, have...
Speaker 3:
[27:40] World War Zombies?
Speaker 2:
[27:41] My... You would land zombies?
Speaker 3:
[27:44] That's what you mean, right? Like...
Speaker 4:
[27:45] Like, what would you do when you land?
Speaker 2:
[27:48] 4v4 competitive.
Speaker 4:
[27:50] Oh, so you would bring, like, eight Xboxes into a house.
Speaker 3:
[27:53] Oh, wow.
Speaker 2:
[27:54] Oh, you're talking about just, like, chilling with your friend.
Speaker 3:
[27:57] Yes.
Speaker 4:
[27:57] That's what I'm asking. Not, like, a LAN tournament.
Speaker 2:
[28:00] I mean, like, eight TVs.
Speaker 3:
[28:03] I've never done that before. That sounds sick, though.
Speaker 4:
[28:05] Yes, you have never done that.
Speaker 2:
[28:06] In, like, someone's basement.
Speaker 4:
[28:07] And you.
Speaker 2:
[28:08] It smells like shit. The Sudden Twins are there with their Pokemon being, or, like, Pokemon sleeping bags. Do you know who the Sudden Twins are? They're a Halo. They're just Halo twins. But they were always just, like, made fun of, and they would talk shit, and they were hella toxic. But they were kind of funny at the same time. In one of my neighbors, he was kind of a shitter, 187. He was kind of a shitter, but I lived in Maryland. There was a decent amount of Maryland people. And I think this is back in, like, Halo Reach, so, like, 20, maybe 2011. But, like, people like Demon D lived there. These are all just some Halo pros. But then there were shitters as well. And we would just go to my friend's basement. ATVs, 8X boxes.
Speaker 4:
[28:55] It was the 360s? Had to have been 360s.
Speaker 2:
[28:59] Reach had to have been 360, right?
Speaker 4:
[29:01] Yeah, Reach was 360.
Speaker 2:
[29:02] 360s, CVs, monitors. Like, some people would still have, like, the big-ass brick TVs. Some people would have, like, the monitor. So it was funny. But it was so fun, man. It was so fun just, like, going somewhere, playing on land. Because back then, the Internet was fucking horrible. Yeah. Like, I remember my Internet, when I was competing, was, like, 2.5 download, like, point—not even one upload. I had, like, a.8 upload. Now it's, like, a thousand, a thousand. I didn't even have one upload. And now people are playing on, like, a thousand. But it was just so fun, like, fucking just landing with your boys, and you're kind of staying up late.
Speaker 4:
[29:44] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[29:45] Then you're all— then when you're done playing, smoke a little weed, start making fun of people. See, that's what— The Suttath twins are— it was so funny, they pulled out fucking Pokemon sleeping bags. And we were just like, this is so Suttath. But, like, they know they're gonna get roasted for it, but they do it anyway because they fucking love it. It was just— that's the good old days, man. It makes me think, like— That's what I remember.
Speaker 4:
[30:08] I'm sitting there playing this weekend. Like, just, it's not— there's not, like, a stream. It's not for content. That was, like, his biggest rule was, like, hey, we're doing this as, like, pick up basketball. You're not allowed to make content in here. So, I was thinking about it, and I was like, bro, I've got, like, where could I set this up? Because I've got nine Xbox Series Xs for, like, the icon stuff. And I'm like, where can we just— where can I just set up a LAN so that, like, I could do that here? But I don't know if any of my friends would come.
Speaker 2:
[30:39] What game?
Speaker 4:
[30:41] Anything. Anything that— That's the thing with Xbox Series X, is you can play any game that Xboxes release. Any Halo, any COD, any Gears of War. We were playing— he set up Counter-Strike on the Xbox 360, which was a game that came out— a game that came out in, like, 2013, I think? 2013 and 2014, that they poured it over to the Xbox 360, was only alive on the 360 for, like, six months, but he downloaded it in all the games and we land it.
Speaker 2:
[31:14] How does that even work?
Speaker 4:
[31:16] I guarantee that's the only land in the history of Counter-Strike 360. There's no way anyone else has set it up.
Speaker 2:
[31:23] Maybe.
Speaker 3:
[31:25] What? Why is, like, Halo dead on the downfall?
Speaker 2:
[31:33] I think people just— were you ever, like, a fan of Halo?
Speaker 3:
[31:36] Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2:
[31:36] Or, like, you watched it?
Speaker 3:
[31:37] You watched all the campaigns, like, Halo 1, 3.
Speaker 2:
[31:41] When did you start playing or, like, watching Halo?
Speaker 3:
[31:45] Like, competitively?
Speaker 2:
[31:46] Sort of. Or, like, just seeing fucking T-squared on the TV, or— What years, I guess?
Speaker 3:
[31:53] Oh, man. I mean, I don't even know. My first game was probably— it was Halo 1, but I didn't play it that much. And then Halo 3. Like, I loved, like, grinding the campaign, getting, like, the skulls and stuff.
Speaker 2:
[32:06] But you weren't playing, like, multiplayer, like, watching the MLG events or anything?
Speaker 3:
[32:10] I think Halo Reach had a good multiplayer scene, right? In ranked.
Speaker 2:
[32:13] Yeah.
Speaker 3:
[32:14] I played that, and I was like— I remember customizing my character, so I guess that game.
Speaker 2:
[32:17] Okay. But you weren't watching, like, the e-sports?
Speaker 3:
[32:20] I wasn't watching the e-sports. You weren't watching the e-sports?
Speaker 4:
[32:22] He was six years old.
Speaker 2:
[32:23] I was just— Yeah. I guess— I don't know. There might be some out there. You were just enjoying the game, not fucking all into the e-sports side.
Speaker 3:
[32:31] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[32:33] Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3:
[32:35] I was just curious.
Speaker 4:
[32:35] Bro, he was nine years old when you won your chip.
Speaker 2:
[32:40] It's good math.
Speaker 4:
[32:42] Well, not really. It's 2026. He's 26.
Speaker 2:
[32:44] So— It's good math. Yeah, when I was holding up in 2000— I don't know if you've heard, but in 2009, I won a Halo 3 National Championship, which is like Worlds these days.
Speaker 4:
[32:58] He's basically like a Super Bowl winner.
Speaker 3:
[32:59] I hardly mentioned— You were beating up on Ogre 1 and 2? Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2:
[33:03] Ogre 1 was— I already set Ogre 1 out of there. Ogre 2 was destroying him that tournament, knocked his ass out, too. And then I just boom, boom, boom.
Speaker 4:
[33:12] I would love— Somebody in the comments— Somebody in the comments put lifetime win-loss record, Maniac vs. Ogre 1— or Ogre 2. I would love to know.
Speaker 2:
[33:23] See, but then he got Snakebite and Royal 2. That's not what I asked.
Speaker 4:
[33:27] That's not what I asked.
Speaker 2:
[33:27] And then he got Pistol.
Speaker 4:
[33:28] That's not what I'm asking.
Speaker 3:
[33:29] Who are your teammates?
Speaker 2:
[33:31] Whenever I won, it was me, Cloud, Demon Dean, Clutch. Do you know any of those names?
Speaker 3:
[33:36] No, I don't.
Speaker 2:
[33:37] It's too far. I mean, you were fucking 6.
Speaker 4:
[33:41] He also won another tournament with— With Formal. Formal, APG, and Lethal.
Speaker 3:
[33:48] Oh.
Speaker 2:
[33:49] Do you know those names?
Speaker 4:
[33:50] Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. All right, all right.
Speaker 3:
[33:54] There we go.
Speaker 2:
[33:55] All right. Oh, hello, Halo. We're not that fucking dead, dude.
Speaker 4:
[34:00] And for that event, you were 15. So you could have remembered that one.
Speaker 2:
[34:04] Yeah, this was 2015. Why is Halo dying? I think, one, I just don't think the— Halo 5 felt like shit. It just felt super heavy. I think it just got pretty boring after a while. Now, there's like a cult following for Halo 5. Like, there's the Halo 5 freaks that just love the game. They say it's the hardest Halo. It's the hardest to aim, the hardest to move. There's a big skill gap, is what they all claim. So Halo 5, maybe it was a good Halo, but I just don't think it was— it just felt like shit to play. Like, it felt super fucking heavy. Like, playing on a PC now, and like, you're so used to a PC, if you were to just like go back there, play on a shitty monitor and play on Xbox, it's like, that's what Halo 5 felt like to me. It just felt fucking horrible. So I feel like that was the— that wasn't the start of Halo's decline, but it sort of was, to where you just saw the player base just rapidly start dropping off. Then Halo Infinite comes out in 20— was it the beginning of 2022?
Speaker 4:
[35:15] 2020, yes.
Speaker 2:
[35:16] At the very end of 2021, maybe?
Speaker 4:
[35:18] I can't remember.
Speaker 2:
[35:20] But then Halo Infinite comes out. We think this is going to be our redemption period. December, late 2021, Halo Infinite comes out. We think this is going to be it. We're back. Fucking— you can play on mouse and key. I have such a dick nose right now. I can't breathe. We think we're back. Mouse and key. Cross-platform. Cross-platform. All the big fucking streamers are playing it, like Tim the Tap Man, Summit, Trout, everyone, Ninja, like all the big streamers are playing it. But they're trying to play it on mouse and key. And I don't know if Call of Duty was the same way, but for mouse and key in the beginning of Halo, the magnetism, I think, is what they had to adjust. The magnet— it was like they didn't have aim assist at all. It was like— it was just super hard for mouse and key players. Like, the gameplay was fluid, but like, it was just so hard. Like, controller players had aim assist and the mouse and keyboard didn't. Which kind of— not— it's not how it should be. But then a few years down the line, Halo Infinite did an update to the magnetism of mouse and key, but all the players were gone. So once Tim the Tatman and all these big fucking streamers playing mouse and key realized, like, this is impossible, we're at a disadvantage. They just all fucking left. The game— you couldn't search with more than one other person, or you, like, wouldn't find a match. I think people were lagging out all the time, the game was breaking, and then you just saw— it might be the most— I wonder if it's, like, the most historic decline in, like, the history of fucking— Because the eSports scene was taking off, though.
Speaker 3:
[37:05] Like, at the beginning.
Speaker 2:
[37:07] Yeah, it was big. Like, I think they sold out team passes, everyone was playing, buying skins, the biggest streamers were playing, everyone wanted to get on, but there was just so much shit wrong. Like, servers were all fucked up, it'd be laggy, people were lagging out, the games are crashing, all the big streamers are quitting because Mouse and Key was horrible at the beginning. They eventually fixed it, and it's actually really fucking good now.
Speaker 4:
[37:31] So if, like, if that was the case at the beginning— I think that is the— that is the thing with Halo, is they eventually figure it out, but it takes them a while to figure it out.
Speaker 2:
[37:42] And I also— Yeah, it's not like, oh, this sucks. Update next week.
Speaker 4:
[37:47] No, yeah, it's like it happened with Halo 5, it happened with MCC, and it happened with Halo Infinite. But also there's a humongous disconnect between current video game consumers and three, four, three or now Halo Studios. There's a gigantic—it's like the biggest disconnect I've ever seen. Like, their new—their big, staple new release that's coming out for Halo is a remaster of Halo 1, only the campaign, no multiplayer, with new graphics.
Speaker 2:
[38:23] Practically excited.
Speaker 4:
[38:24] This is the third time— This is the third time they've remastered— So the second time they've remastered the Halo 1 campaign, they've already remastered—actually, is it the third time?
Speaker 2:
[38:35] They've already— There was Halo 1 campaign, then MCC came out with Halo 1 remade again.
Speaker 4:
[38:41] Yeah, remastered.
Speaker 2:
[38:42] So basically, this is like the third rendition of it. Halo 1.
Speaker 4:
[38:46] And the biggest selling point is that now people on PlayStation can play it. And they released it like it was going to be, like, very well received. And then they were, like, surprised that it wasn't received well. And to me, that is, like, a big disconnect. Like, like, very massive. Because they did the same thing with, like, when Halo Infinite came out, people were asking, like, what is going to bring people to Halo other than just Halo, other than just the campaign. Because the campaign in Halo Infinite was really good. I really enjoyed it. But as anything, when you're done with the campaign, you're going to replay it. There's not much replay value. And so what's going to bring people to Halo other than just fucking Social Slayer and Big Team Battle and Halo Ranked, which has been there for 25 years at this point? And is it going to be a BR? Is there going to be an extraction shooter? Is there going to be another thing that brings people in? Like skin? Like, and they basically were like almost the people that were in charge at that point were almost like arrogant in the fact that like, no, we don't need anything else. What we have is good enough. And what they had was not good enough.
Speaker 3:
[40:03] Is there another one coming out? Like game?
Speaker 2:
[40:06] I'm hearing shit like 2029, like 2028, 29, maybe who knows?
Speaker 4:
[40:14] We're assuming.
Speaker 2:
[40:15] I was doing the math, and whenever the new game comes out, I might be 40 doing watch parties.
Speaker 4:
[40:22] Or you'll be the head of consumers.
Speaker 2:
[40:25] Wow.
Speaker 4:
[40:28] You'll be the head of consumer influencers at the AI company from the dog park lady.
Speaker 2:
[40:32] And I'll probably be trying to work with them.
Speaker 4:
[40:35] Damn, with Halo.
Speaker 3:
[40:37] Not because of the age, but like, that's just so long, like.
Speaker 2:
[40:41] Yeah. I mean, it's crazy.
Speaker 3:
[40:43] No, no.
Speaker 2:
[40:44] Halo, Halo 5. That's so long to be on earth.
Speaker 4:
[40:48] Hahahaha.
Speaker 2:
[40:51] Halo 5 came out in 2015. And then Halo Infinite doesn't come out till six years, over six years later.
Speaker 3:
[41:00] And then this is going to be 7, 6, 7, 8, 9.
Speaker 4:
[41:06] What I'm assuming is that this summer or this winter, they're replacing the Halo Worlds event with another event, same venue, but it's called, what's it called? Oh, Halo Fest. And it's basically like a Halo community get together where like they're going to have speed running stuff, they're going to have like a concert where they play Halo music, they're going to have cosplay stuff. Like it's like Halo Nerd Fest.
Speaker 3:
[41:31] Yeah.
Speaker 4:
[41:32] What I'm assuming is that they're going to announce the new game there. That's what I, if Halo Fest comes and goes and they don't announce a new game, that's a bad look. That's a really, that's, all of this is already a bad look, but that's a really bad look.
Speaker 3:
[41:48] Is the show made by?
Speaker 4:
[41:51] I think it's made by.
Speaker 2:
[41:51] Even the show, I think they fucked up.
Speaker 4:
[41:53] I think the show's made by Paramount. And the thing with the thing with the show is the producer of the show also said he had never played the game. He was like, we have all the assets that we need to have, we don't need to retell a story that's already been told. And I'm like, how is this all happening under the same IP? The people that have made the video game said that the only BR they care about is the battle rifle, not Battle Royale. And then the people that made the show say, we don't need to watch or play the games, we already have all the IP that we need to make a good show. It's like, bro.
Speaker 3:
[42:29] What were your guys' thoughts on the show?
Speaker 4:
[42:31] I didn't watch it.
Speaker 2:
[42:31] I didn't watch it.
Speaker 3:
[42:32] You didn't watch it either?
Speaker 2:
[42:33] No.
Speaker 3:
[42:33] Really?
Speaker 2:
[42:34] I think I turned it on for an episode and I was like, man.
Speaker 4:
[42:38] Can you look at the series graph for Halo?
Speaker 2:
[42:40] See, what they should have did for the show was like half like T-squared dying in the background or like T-squared. It's like even throw Ninja in there like me as a grunt. And then I just explode on it.
Speaker 4:
[42:53] OK, so season one episode seven must have been a rough episode.
Speaker 2:
[42:59] Yeah.
Speaker 4:
[43:00] Holy shit. What happened? Season one. But it seems I guess.
Speaker 2:
[43:04] Apparently, the finales are decent.
Speaker 4:
[43:06] Yeah, it didn't end that bad.
Speaker 2:
[43:08] See, maybe I need to.
Speaker 3:
[43:09] I thought it was worse than what it was. Not going to lie. I think 7.6 is no, everyone was like doggy. Did you watch it? Oh, you watched it.
Speaker 2:
[43:18] So you ain't with it.
Speaker 4:
[43:20] Do you think it's this is this good or is this no more credit?
Speaker 3:
[43:23] I think it's given him more credit.
Speaker 4:
[43:25] See, I see something like this and I'm thinking like, what happened season one, episode seven paradise?
Speaker 3:
[43:33] I thought some of the fight scenes were really good and that's probably where the green is.
Speaker 4:
[43:36] Yeah. Okay. Very interesting. I wonder what the best what the best, like video game rendition of a TV show or a movie is.
Speaker 3:
[43:47] I'm scared for the Call of Duty show.
Speaker 4:
[43:49] I'm also.
Speaker 2:
[43:50] Is it a Call of Duty show?
Speaker 3:
[43:51] Or movie.
Speaker 4:
[43:52] Call of Duty movie got announced.
Speaker 2:
[43:54] I see like throw scump in there.
Speaker 4:
[43:57] That's what I'm saying. They should. They should.
Speaker 2:
[43:58] Blow up Nate's shot.
Speaker 4:
[43:59] Oh, Arkane. Oh, Arkane apparently is godlike.
Speaker 2:
[44:03] I liked Fallout a lot.
Speaker 4:
[44:05] Did you? I haven't seen it. I like the season. I like the first season of Last of Us. I like that a lot.
Speaker 2:
[44:09] I can't remember anything, but Fallout was good. Are you a big movie TV guy?
Speaker 3:
[44:14] I want to say I am, but I haven't seen any of these besides The Witcher.
Speaker 4:
[44:17] The Witcher?
Speaker 3:
[44:17] I'm watching The Witcher currently.
Speaker 4:
[44:19] Oh, are you?
Speaker 3:
[44:19] Yeah, it's pretty good.
Speaker 4:
[44:21] I didn't play the video game, so I tried watching The Witcher, and it's fucking hard to keep up with, bro. It's all over the place. What is Pokemon Concierge? That shit looks fire. Some like 3D. What? It's like claymation Pokemon.
Speaker 3:
[44:38] There's like a new Pokemon game coming out somewhat soon, too, where it's like, oh, my gosh, what was that game that came out on the Switch?
Speaker 4:
[44:47] Animal Crossing?
Speaker 3:
[44:48] It's like a mix of Pokemon, Animal Crossing.
Speaker 4:
[44:51] That game's already out.
Speaker 2:
[44:52] Are we talking about that?
Speaker 4:
[44:53] Pokopia. Yeah, it's already out. It's been out for like a month and a half.
Speaker 2:
[44:56] Talking about that with Marcel. Yeah.
Speaker 4:
[44:59] Yeah, Marcel has been grinding it. Yeah, that game did very well.
Speaker 2:
[45:04] Are you in all that stuff?
Speaker 3:
[45:06] No, I saw it on TikTok though.
Speaker 2:
[45:07] What about Pokemon cards?
Speaker 3:
[45:11] I used to collect them, but not anymore.
Speaker 4:
[45:14] He doesn't have time, man. Fisher Esports.
Speaker 3:
[45:15] My fiance, she collected cards. She just sold all of them on some card app or something, Pokemon card app. She got $1,500.
Speaker 4:
[45:25] Damn.
Speaker 3:
[45:25] Out of 500 cards.
Speaker 4:
[45:28] It's not bad.
Speaker 3:
[45:29] I wonder if that's a good deal.
Speaker 2:
[45:30] It's not bad, but like, where did she get got?
Speaker 4:
[45:33] Where did she get got? They're just going to flip hard.
Speaker 2:
[45:35] My mom was telling me, fucking, she was getting rid of stuff, and some dude wanted to buy our old Pokemon cards. And I was like, mom, no. Just like, because my mom would be like, $5. There'll be a fucking holographic Charizard in there. Like...
Speaker 4:
[45:53] Do you still have all your old Pokemon cards?
Speaker 2:
[45:56] I think I have a decent amount. But I swear, I looked one time, and I was like, these are not the cards I thought we had.
Speaker 4:
[46:02] Yeah. You, like, misremember it?
Speaker 2:
[46:05] Yeah. I'm thinking holographic, first edition, Blastoise, Charizard, Venusaur, like, everything.
Speaker 4:
[46:10] And then you get it back, and you're like, wait, this Pidgey that I definitely tore up brought to math-wise?
Speaker 2:
[46:15] I'm like, why is Pidgey in a sleeve?
Speaker 3:
[46:20] I've only played the Diamond version or whatever of Pokemon.
Speaker 4:
[46:24] The game?
Speaker 2:
[46:25] Yeah. Motherfuckers be forgetting. Gold, red, blue, red, blue, gold. You forget.
Speaker 4:
[46:32] You're that forget. You're the red, blue, yellow.
Speaker 2:
[46:36] Red, blue, yellow, pink, gold.
Speaker 4:
[46:37] Then it's silver, gold, crystal. Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[46:39] OK. Red, blue, and yellow. Muffin, I don't forget.
Speaker 4:
[46:42] Muffin forget. And then you go red, blue, gold.
Speaker 2:
[46:46] be forgetting about gold.
Speaker 4:
[46:51] What would you be forgetting about?
Speaker 2:
[46:54] See, that was my day. Once people start talking about fucking Sapphire and Ruby Rose.
Speaker 4:
[47:00] Well, that's...
Speaker 2:
[47:01] Well, they don't... No.
Speaker 4:
[47:03] Well, I think that's people talking about it.
Speaker 2:
[47:05] That's what I get lost. I played the old shit. Everything in my life is just fucking old, man. I'm fucking...
Speaker 3:
[47:13] How old are you?
Speaker 2:
[47:15] Four... Guess. And keep in mind, I don't have a haircut. Guess.
Speaker 4:
[47:29] He's not guessing.
Speaker 2:
[47:31] Yes.
Speaker 3:
[47:33] Is that... No, it's...
Speaker 2:
[47:35] No, I'm thirty-four. Turn to thirty-five.
Speaker 3:
[47:37] Really?
Speaker 2:
[47:37] Yeah. But when I have a haircut, you probably would have said, like, twenty-four.
Speaker 3:
[47:42] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[47:43] How would the sitch look?
Speaker 4:
[47:44] He probably would have. Don't answer that one.
Speaker 2:
[47:49] Take the hat off.
Speaker 4:
[47:51] Well, my hair is nice.
Speaker 3:
[47:52] I'll say twenty-eight, twenty-nine.
Speaker 2:
[47:55] All right, now you're just dick-riding.
Speaker 3:
[47:57] No, no, no, no. I'm being serious.
Speaker 4:
[47:59] I'm thirty-three.
Speaker 2:
[47:59] Now you're just... What about Matt Craig?
Speaker 4:
[48:02] He's like, thirty...
Speaker 3:
[48:07] I would say Matt looks pretty young, but...
Speaker 2:
[48:08] Matt does look young.
Speaker 4:
[48:10] Matt is young. Oh, yeah. I mean, I'm twenty-nine. Yeah, that's young.
Speaker 3:
[48:15] Damn. Really?
Speaker 2:
[48:16] I don't know. That's got to out there. That's like formal age. Everybody's getting old.
Speaker 4:
[48:21] Everybody's getting old.
Speaker 2:
[48:22] All right, listen, man, back to the nitty-gritty, man. We're here to talk about Call of Fucking Duty.
Speaker 4:
[48:26] Are they waiting for us next door? Oh, OK, OK.
Speaker 2:
[48:32] Good, because we got shit to talk about.
Speaker 4:
[48:33] We got shit to talk about.
Speaker 3:
[48:35] Only scratch the surface.
Speaker 2:
[48:36] First. All right. I feel like I still haven't gotten this whole college thing.
Speaker 4:
[48:39] Yeah. Who is your biggest rival? Who's your biggest rival college?
Speaker 3:
[48:45] We're, oh, Matt didn't go there, I don't think, but it's Oklahoma. Oklahoma Christian University. That's probably our biggest rival right now.
Speaker 2:
[48:52] As in they're the best, like you two are the best in the country.
Speaker 3:
[48:56] Yeah. We beat them at an event last year. They beat us.
Speaker 4:
[49:00] Who is, do we know players on their team?
Speaker 3:
[49:04] Cruz, Cruz and Cobb.
Speaker 4:
[49:05] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:
[49:07] Manny.
Speaker 4:
[49:08] Oh, from the...
Speaker 3:
[49:09] He's a Challenger's Kid.
Speaker 4:
[49:10] The Challenger's Kid, yeah.
Speaker 2:
[49:11] And all these people have their shit paid for, scholarships.
Speaker 3:
[49:16] I don't want to confirm that, but I want to say, yes, they have to go to campus.
Speaker 2:
[49:22] Oh, shit.
Speaker 3:
[49:24] I'm not sure of their situation. Dude, that's so...
Speaker 4:
[49:26] So, like, Cruz, he lives in Oklahoma right now?
Speaker 3:
[49:28] Yeah.
Speaker 4:
[49:28] Oh, shit.
Speaker 3:
[49:29] And he's doing the nursing program, and that's how he's been competing in NA.
Speaker 2:
[49:33] So, what are you doing for years?
Speaker 3:
[49:34] Four years, five years. Business, management.
Speaker 2:
[49:37] So, are you kind of looking at this like, I'm only doing it to... Like, would you be in school if this wasn't getting paid for? Or is this kind of just like, if I can get it paid for and just play on their Call of Duty team, then fuck it.
Speaker 3:
[49:54] I'm actually really lucky because I don't think I'd be going to school if it wasn't paid for. It's just so expensive.
Speaker 2:
[50:00] Are you looking to like really take advantage of this? Like, because...
Speaker 3:
[50:03] Yeah, I mean, yeah.
Speaker 2:
[50:04] People go, people make the league. I know you've been in the league. Challengers back in the league. Like, are you looking at this like, I should actually clutch up on this and have something for my future.
Speaker 4:
[50:16] John Exotics going to Wichita State.
Speaker 2:
[50:21] Like, are you taking the school shit serious?
Speaker 3:
[50:23] I'm taking it super serious, like, doing... I mean, I just did three assignments after fricking scrims and stuff yesterday. I'm taking it serious. I want to say my teammates are taking it serious, too, but, I mean, I can't speak for, you know, everyone.
Speaker 4:
[50:38] This is interesting that these are the top colleges, because you can just tell which colleges... So, for audio listeners, top four colleges, Fisher College, St. Clair College, Oklahoma Christian University, Mars Hill University. The only college I even recognize in the top eight is Wichita State. And so, like, if you hit show additional placements, like, I want to know, like... Okay, there's Ohio State, there's UTSA.
Speaker 2:
[51:07] Bro, that'd be so cool to, like, go to one of these colleges, too.
Speaker 3:
[51:10] Would that be weird?
Speaker 4:
[51:12] Marshall.
Speaker 2:
[51:12] 34-year-old freshman.
Speaker 4:
[51:14] Oklahoma. So, Oklahoma University, like...
Speaker 3:
[51:17] We got Adam, that's all.
Speaker 4:
[51:19] Okay, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:
[51:20] I'm on the second team.
Speaker 4:
[51:21] Crystal, or Coastal Carolina, University of Arkansas.
Speaker 3:
[51:25] Oklahoma, yeah.
Speaker 2:
[51:26] Now, where are they finding these randinos?
Speaker 4:
[51:28] That's what I'm saying, like, these must be, like, tryouts, like, club...
Speaker 2:
[51:32] Like, they actually go to the school?
Speaker 4:
[51:33] Yeah, I would assume these are, like, club programs. Like, if you're representing Oklahoma, or you're representing Ohio State, I'm assuming you're...
Speaker 2:
[51:41] I'm assuming Nichols College.
Speaker 4:
[51:43] Yeah, I'm assuming those are club programs for that.
Speaker 2:
[51:46] They're just like, we suck.
Speaker 4:
[51:48] Yeah, like, those are, like, two... Those are, like...
Speaker 2:
[51:50] Can't write a map.
Speaker 4:
[51:51] That's, like, a guy that's going to the school that just put up posters, and was like, if you want to try out for our team, let me know.
Speaker 2:
[51:57] Or someone's just like, fuck, I need a... I need one extracurricular. It's like, I'll just do this shit.
Speaker 4:
[52:05] Maybe, but I'm assuming the only... I'm assuming the only... colleges with scholarship programs are probably in the top four, top five.
Speaker 2:
[52:13] So what's your...
Speaker 3:
[52:15] I don't know.
Speaker 4:
[52:16] You don't know?
Speaker 3:
[52:17] I think some of these do offer full rides.
Speaker 4:
[52:20] Some of these?
Speaker 3:
[52:21] Yes.
Speaker 2:
[52:22] Fucking bookie for Newberry College.
Speaker 3:
[52:26] Northwood, the mock deck flames. I could be wrong, but they will probably be on full rides.
Speaker 2:
[52:33] So if their name's blue, that means they've like played in turn. They're like known around the league a little bit. Yeah, they have like a wiki.
Speaker 3:
[52:39] I guess.
Speaker 4:
[52:40] Yeah, they'll have a wiki. But like if you if if you scroll up a little bit to yeah, like Ohio State, Ohio State, Juice, Enigma, Ferta and Lului. No offense to these guys, but like. Are they on full rides to Ohio State? It can't be. I don't know. It can't. That can't be. Because like you would think you would think this. I don't know. It's very interesting. I like the college Cod program. I think it's I think it's awesome. I think I think the fact that that, you know. Guy, I think there are some females in the league.
Speaker 2:
[53:20] This would have been amazing. Guys, you would have been on the fucking college team.
Speaker 4:
[53:23] Oh, bro, if I ran the ECU team.
Speaker 2:
[53:28] You'd have like a fucking special jacket just for you as team captain.
Speaker 4:
[53:32] I remember a few years ago, I wanted to like general manager of the ECU team. But then they were going to shut on, so I was like, I don't want to put all that on.
Speaker 2:
[53:39] That would be so cool though. Like, you go to school, you seemingly have a purpose. It just, dude, that would have been so clutch.
Speaker 3:
[53:46] Is ECU purple?
Speaker 4:
[53:47] Yeah.
Speaker 3:
[53:48] Where is that?
Speaker 4:
[53:48] East Carolina. North Carolina.
Speaker 2:
[53:50] It's his jacket.
Speaker 4:
[53:51] Oh, okay, I was gonna say.
Speaker 3:
[53:52] I was gonna say, I know that school.
Speaker 4:
[53:54] Yeah, yeah, because I think they did have a program. I don't know if they still do, but I think they did have a program at one point. But, yeah, I think this is really cool. I'm very curious of how it'll be integrated into Call of Duty, like the CDL program, if ever at all. Because I think it's cool. I think it's a cool opportunity for people, but I don't know if it's being viewed as an opportunity for Call of Duty heads to make their name or if it's being viewed as an opportunity for people that are good at COD to get education.
Speaker 2:
[54:29] Yeah, I think that's what it is. So then there's the CDL, there's Challengers, and then there's just a whole separate college league. Is there decent money and prize money?
Speaker 3:
[54:40] No, not really. I think, I mean-
Speaker 2:
[54:44] Does it happen a season with a Worlds at the end?
Speaker 3:
[54:47] Yeah, so it's May 2nd through the 3rd, so it's coming up. We're going to Indiana. I don't know where we're at in Indiana, but it's like $1,200 each for first.
Speaker 2:
[55:01] That's Worlds?
Speaker 3:
[55:02] Yep.
Speaker 4:
[55:03] Well, it's also like legally, like can you even do that?
Speaker 2:
[55:07] Like in schools, give prize money to their fucking students.
Speaker 3:
[55:11] I thought it was really cool. We went on online League last season, and I got 10 Chipotle cards, free Chipotle balls.
Speaker 4:
[55:19] That sounds like some college kid shit.
Speaker 2:
[55:21] Sounds like some challenger shit.
Speaker 4:
[55:23] Yeah, that sounds like some college. If I was in college and somebody gave me 10 Chipotle cards, I would be fucking ecstatic. I would be so happy.
Speaker 2:
[55:31] But I mean, a full ride as well, man. That is really cool. I do like that for, because a lot of people will get into, get into COD, they'll get good. Maybe they make it to the League, maybe they don't. They're stuck in challengers for fucking forever. And then they kind of just, the next thing you know, you're like 29 years old. And it's just like, fuck, like, do I just got to play? Do I just got to like grind wagers and something to like pay my bills? Like, fuck, like time, that shit just happened so fast. And then you're like, what am I going to do? Like, this is such a, and I guess it doesn't matter the age, like could, like a challenger's player right now could just, if they were willing to dedicate themselves and, like with all the challenger's players, if they really wanted to go to school, and them being a better Call of Duty player than the people that are already on these teams, like say someone goes to school there, so they're just, and they like Call of Duty, so they're on the team. If all the challenger's players were like, listen, I'm willing to go to school, make the grades, I want to get an education, would all these motherfuckers just start getting kicked out? Like, would they take the better Call of Duty player?
Speaker 3:
[56:46] Probably, or they'd have multiple teams like my school does.
Speaker 2:
[56:49] See, I just don't like how...
Speaker 3:
[56:50] It just depends on people's budgets.
Speaker 2:
[56:51] I feel like you should have to go to the school. Yeah. Because then it'll just turn into like...
Speaker 4:
[56:57] No, please, God, no.
Speaker 3:
[56:59] I'm lucky that it's online, because I don't know if I would do it if it was on campus. Because I own a house in Tennessee, so like...
Speaker 2:
[57:07] Could you find like a school in Tennessee that does it?
Speaker 3:
[57:10] Yeah, the closest one is UT Chat in Chattanooga, and it's like three hours. I think University of Tennessee has a college Cod program, but they have like no budget.
Speaker 2:
[57:21] Yeah, I just don't know if I like that they can just... Colleges will now just be able to like cherry pick people.
Speaker 4:
[57:29] Yeah, it's interesting, like Assault is in the league, and he has like a ring, like a Cod chance ring.
Speaker 2:
[57:36] What's the schedule? Because you got college practice, college homework, studying, classes, challengers, Renegade telling you what to do, Hex yelling at you about a Flycast, or Matt Craig, I should say.
Speaker 3:
[57:55] I mean, there's... I mean, we just have like... During the season, there's like three to four matches a week, and we just show up for the matches. So we'll have like our scrim day. We don't practice, no. I mean, because it's me... I mean, we have like a super like OP team, so we don't really practice.
Speaker 4:
[58:13] Y'all are all on Challenger's teams.
Speaker 3:
[58:14] Yeah, we're all on top Challenger teams. So we scrim two, four, or start at one, end at like seven to eight, and then that's whenever we'll have our matches after. Some days we'll have one match.
Speaker 2:
[58:26] So you're talking about your Challenger scrims?
Speaker 3:
[58:29] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[58:29] You'll do your Challenger scrims, and then you'll have a match, like a college match.
Speaker 3:
[58:33] Yep, like at 8 p.m. Oh, really?
Speaker 2:
[58:36] So that's just kind of a tournament only, a tournament college match only.
Speaker 3:
[58:42] Yep.
Speaker 2:
[58:42] College matches is the only time you're showing up for college. Call of Duty.
Speaker 3:
[58:47] Yes.
Speaker 4:
[58:48] I wonder, I wonder how...
Speaker 3:
[58:49] And the LAN that's coming up.
Speaker 4:
[58:50] I wonder where in the rules is it, is it against the rules where, like, imagine we, imagine we worked out a deal, OpTic and SMU, where we, we send Shotzi to college. And he, Shotzi gets a full ride because he starts the COD program at SMU.
Speaker 2:
[59:09] See, now...
Speaker 4:
[59:10] So now our SMU team is Shotzi...
Speaker 2:
[59:13] The fun part would be following his grades. Like, I feel like Shotzi going to college, it wouldn't even be about, oh, is he just destroying these college? No one would care about that.
Speaker 4:
[59:23] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[59:23] The Call of Duty side people would be like, let's watch him study.
Speaker 4:
[59:28] Let's watch his Bio 101 class. See how he's doing there.
Speaker 2:
[59:33] He's low-key smart, though. I know it.
Speaker 4:
[59:36] I wonder if it's against the rules to have a CDL player in college.
Speaker 3:
[59:41] Yeah. So, I don't know if it's like this at every uni or college, but I know for my specific scholarship or whatever Hunter put me on, so I trialed for Vancouver last week. If I got the spot on Vancouver search, then I would have still went to school, but I can't compete on the team.
Speaker 4:
[60:03] Oh, okay. So, you can't be... You can only play Challengers and College Cod.
Speaker 3:
[60:07] You can't?
Speaker 4:
[60:07] Okay, okay.
Speaker 3:
[60:08] As of right now.
Speaker 4:
[60:09] All right.
Speaker 3:
[60:10] I don't know if that'll change.
Speaker 4:
[60:11] So, maybe we switch it to Damon. Damon, Seth, Zen and Formal start the SMU program. All get full rides. We have to follow them to class and also games.
Speaker 2:
[60:32] I was talking to a teacher a little for a little bit. That's how old I am. I'm not going to the school. I'm the one talking to a dating a teacher. But like she would show she was like, I think we're seniors, but just looking at the homework, the problem like gives me PTSD. Like she would come up, she would visit, bring her fucking laptop, she would have papers. I'm just like, bro, this is, this is fucking, it's PTSD. It's PTSD. I would not, my brain just couldn't do it, I don't think, unless it was like, I couldn't do a biology class, a fucking math class, something else class. I can't even remember any other classes. But if I went to maybe a music school or something, then maybe I could lock in and just focus on one subject.
Speaker 4:
[61:28] Do music theory.
Speaker 2:
[61:30] But just doing some regular shit to where you're taking this, this, and this, you need credits and this, this, and like, I would not be able to do that. Studying and shit, there's just no way.
Speaker 4:
[61:40] Yeah, the only classes I ever locked in for in college was electives.
Speaker 2:
[61:45] Yeah, like I took something I wanted to.
Speaker 4:
[61:48] I took a movie class, like a movie, a cinema theory or whatever. We watched fucking movies. That class was fucking awesome. Like that was like I was so.
Speaker 2:
[62:00] Movie class, we watched movies.
Speaker 4:
[62:02] That class was fucking awesome. I just remember being so excited to go to that class. It was the only time I ever felt that way in the three years I went to school.
Speaker 2:
[62:10] Do you have like a regular schedule? What classes do you take?
Speaker 3:
[62:14] So how it works here at Fisher is for eight weeks, I'm in two classes and another eight weeks, I'm in another two classes. But in those eight weeks, like our classes, there's like so much work like Scram, man. Yeah. So technically I'm a full ride, like taking four classes a semester. But right now I'm in organizational behavior and managerial accounting. So, yeah, behavior management side. So, I hated Econ. Oh my God.
Speaker 2:
[62:48] Econ?
Speaker 3:
[62:48] Yes.
Speaker 2:
[62:49] I heard that's the wave now, 2026.
Speaker 4:
[62:52] Economics?
Speaker 3:
[62:53] Yes. I don't know. He was a professor. He was just bad at explaining stuff in his lectures.
Speaker 2:
[62:59] On the Zoom call?
Speaker 3:
[63:00] Yeah.
Speaker 4:
[63:02] So, how many people are in your classes?
Speaker 3:
[63:06] I want to say around 30.
Speaker 4:
[63:08] Okay. Okay. I didn't know if it was like 1,300.
Speaker 2:
[63:11] So, just 30 face cams?
Speaker 3:
[63:13] Yep.
Speaker 4:
[63:13] You have to have your face cam? Okay.
Speaker 2:
[63:15] Okay. Do you put yours on?
Speaker 3:
[63:17] No.
Speaker 2:
[63:18] I would.
Speaker 4:
[63:19] Do you record the lectures?
Speaker 3:
[63:21] They're the professor records.
Speaker 4:
[63:24] Records them and sends them?
Speaker 3:
[63:24] So, you can miss them if you want. But I mean, it's on your own.
Speaker 4:
[63:30] I would. I don't know if this is illegal. We can cut this if we need to. But I would record it and I would put it into an AI program. And then I'd be like, please give me notes of what this motherfucker just said.
Speaker 2:
[63:42] Yeah.
Speaker 4:
[63:42] And then they would just list the fucking notes.
Speaker 2:
[63:45] Yeah.
Speaker 3:
[63:45] I'm telling you, if you use AI though, like.
Speaker 4:
[63:47] I wouldn't use it.
Speaker 3:
[63:48] I mean, it's just for the notes.
Speaker 4:
[63:49] I would just use it for the notes. I wouldn't. I wouldn't say, hey, write me a paper, Claude. I would just be like, hey, give me the list of the notes because the what I hated from college was like listening to mumble McGee in a suit up front.
Speaker 2:
[64:06] Yeah.
Speaker 3:
[64:07] Yeah. Take so many notes.
Speaker 2:
[64:08] Not even use half of it.
Speaker 4:
[64:09] Talk about the mitochondria.
Speaker 3:
[64:11] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[64:13] I failed biology twice.
Speaker 4:
[64:15] In high school?
Speaker 3:
[64:16] College.
Speaker 4:
[64:16] Oh.
Speaker 3:
[64:17] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[64:17] But I just wasn't really, I wasn't showing up.
Speaker 4:
[64:20] I got a 40 on the final exam.
Speaker 2:
[64:26] I didn't even take my final exam.
Speaker 4:
[64:28] No, I needed an 80 to pass. I got a 40.
Speaker 3:
[64:31] 80 to pass?
Speaker 4:
[64:33] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[64:33] I remember it was final.
Speaker 3:
[64:34] Oh, on the final exam.
Speaker 4:
[64:35] On the final exam.
Speaker 2:
[64:36] It was final exam day, and I didn't show up. And then I think I just like, didn't sleep for two days. I was like, I'm not fucking going. And then I emailed them like, hey, I'm sick. And then they replied like, yeah, that's not going to work. We needed you here. You had to take this. You gave me no prior warning or whatever. Like, you fail. And I was like, all right, Dan.
Speaker 4:
[65:04] Damn it.
Speaker 2:
[65:04] All right, Dan, I think that's just going to do it for me in college. I think that's how it went out.
Speaker 4:
[65:11] That's just crazy.
Speaker 2:
[65:12] All right, Brack, well, I guess we're going to wrap it up. We got, we saw the boys just finished over there. Huntsmen, you excited? Who do we got? We got Renegade, Brack, Smootie, Johnny.
Speaker 3:
[65:27] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[65:27] You excited for this team?
Speaker 3:
[65:29] I'm excited because throughout my time in Challengers, at least, it's just been like ex-pros. My last team was Asim Kami Rial.
Speaker 2:
[65:38] That was my last Challenger team.
Speaker 3:
[65:40] Yeah. So I think this team is a little bit more unexperienced. But I think we're all super sick. I'm super excited to play with John because I've been watching Halo from Johnny Hype somewhat recently. I think John's disgusting.
Speaker 2:
[65:56] Oh, I'm thinking Johnny.
Speaker 3:
[65:57] No, no, John.
Speaker 4:
[65:58] Renegade.
Speaker 3:
[65:59] I won an event with Johnny last year.
Speaker 2:
[66:01] Yeah, Renegade is... I was talking to Zinny about this. Renegade reminds me of myself a little bit, just like a way better version. But I feel like, like I think, is he running a sub on your team? Yeah. Because I think on the last team, he was an AR. He was like trying to flex or like AR or something. And I was talking to Zinny about it, and I was like, oh, that can't be fucking Renegade. Renegade's play style is like, he needs to kind of do what he feels he should. But like an AR, it's like you got to have rules of like, yo, you can't like, bro, I don't give a fuck about that kill, get back to the fucking spawn, block the spawn and hold that shit. It's going to be born in the belly. Renegade can't do that. He needs to like find his flow state. He needs to like trust his instincts.
Speaker 3:
[66:48] And we haven't got to play much. We had the elite qualifier this past weekend. So we, I mean, we qualified. We have our first matches like Wednesday and Thursday. So I've seen him in flow state this past weekend. And it's insane.
Speaker 2:
[67:04] Yeah, he enters a weird, he enters.
Speaker 3:
[67:07] And I was just like.
Speaker 2:
[67:08] In Halo, man. In Halo, he entered flow state more than like anybody. It was actually, what's the consensus for Renegade? It's like, he kind of, has he ever talked about among challengers players? Like, do people think he has like the potential?
Speaker 3:
[67:24] I think people are nervous to play with Jon.
Speaker 2:
[67:27] To play with him?
Speaker 3:
[67:28] Yes. Is that what you're talking about? Like playing with him?
Speaker 2:
[67:30] Well, anything. Play with him, against him. Do people think he's good at this but bad at that?
Speaker 3:
[67:37] I think he's really good. Major O1 split this season, he was frying at the event. Yeah, it was. I mean, if he caught that flow state, like.
Speaker 2:
[67:47] If he does that with you, you would.
Speaker 3:
[67:49] Yeah. This Major 2 split, I think he was doing that AR stuff for the flexing or whatever. I don't know. I think like if he just runs a sub and just is like a free bird, like, yeah, he has people like telling him what to do. I think that's whenever he's in his best.
Speaker 2:
[68:07] Yeah. I completely agree. All right. I think that's going to do it for us. Brack, we appreciate you. Best of luck with the Challenger squad, with the Huntsmen, man.
Speaker 4:
[68:18] And Fisher Esports.
Speaker 2:
[68:20] This might be our best team yet. Yeah. And good luck with Fisher.
Speaker 4:
[68:23] Good luck with Fisher.
Speaker 3:
[68:25] All right.
Speaker 2:
[68:25] That's going to do it for The Flycast, man.
