Speaker 1:
[00:00] See, right here, everyone's saying Cell should hit, Cell should be the one to hit out middle, and I do agree with that.

Speaker 2:
[00:04] He's going back because he has the trophy. He has the only trophy that they have. That's the only reason that he's not hitting this.

Speaker 1:
[00:10] My whole chat was saying MC needs to hit out mid, and if you let this play develop, if you watch what XNid does, it's the same exact play.

Speaker 2:
[00:17] Come here, both of you. Come break down this play, from our players. Did Cell scam right here?

Speaker 3:
[00:24] I didn't watch it, so I'm watching that.

Speaker 2:
[00:26] You guys didn't see this?

Speaker 1:
[00:27] Here, back it up a notch, and you guys can come break it down.

Speaker 2:
[00:31] Yeah, look at this rotation.

Speaker 3:
[00:36] I didn't see this. I saw the clip of XNid.

Speaker 2:
[00:40] He was like, we should've took space.

Speaker 4:
[00:42] He's like, we didn't go green.

Speaker 3:
[00:44] They were saying something like that, right?

Speaker 5:
[00:51] Ladies and gentlemen, I want to welcome you to episode 27327 of the OpTic Podcast. This episode is brought to you by The Perfect Jean and Price Bix. More about them later on in the episode, but first, offline IRL conversation. Were you here last week? Oh no, we were in Mexico last week, right? When the were we in Mexico?

Speaker 1:
[01:12] Last week.

Speaker 5:
[01:13] Jesus.

Speaker 1:
[01:13] We got back last Wednesday.

Speaker 6:
[01:14] This happened, how do you guys forget it?

Speaker 1:
[01:17] I was shitting my pants the whole trip. I drank the water or I messed up somewhere. I think I was like trusting places I shouldn't have. Like, cause we went to some dope places, like the Michelin star spots.

Speaker 5:
[01:28] Can we start there?

Speaker 1:
[01:29] Yeah, sure.

Speaker 5:
[01:30] We went to two Michelin star restaurants.

Speaker 1:
[01:33] Two Michelin star.

Speaker 5:
[01:35] Two Michelin stars. Each restaurant that we went to has two Michelin stars. One of them was the number three restaurant in the world currently.

Speaker 1:
[01:42] And I learned something about myself.

Speaker 5:
[01:43] Me too.

Speaker 1:
[01:44] No matter how much I like food and I respect it, it's not for me. I don't like feeling like I'm handcuffed to a chair for four hours straight.

Speaker 5:
[01:51] Three and a half hours was this show.

Speaker 1:
[01:53] Like I need to-

Speaker 6:
[01:54] Because it's full course, right?

Speaker 1:
[01:55] Yeah. Like I want to get a nice dinner, order all of our food. And once I'm done eating, I want to leave. I don't want to sit there and wait for 11 courses over four hours. Can I also say something?

Speaker 5:
[02:05] It's just not for me.

Speaker 1:
[02:06] It was great though. I really was happy to experience it, but just not my thing.

Speaker 5:
[02:12] As a foodie, I'm sort of in a situation where I don't want to sound too wack and saying what I'm saying, but yeah, maybe the Michelin thing is just not for me. I like the food. What I don't like is all the synchronized plate removals and plate placings. I know that's part of the show and the service.

Speaker 1:
[02:30] That's the two star thing. That's why one stars are the place to be, because one star is just great food. One star is great food, two star I think is food and that level of service, and then three star is probably a whole Disney thing.

Speaker 5:
[02:42] Yeah, they're probably massaging you.

Speaker 1:
[02:43] Yeah, Mexico City, I'll tell you what, just because you've been to Mexico City, so let me give you my raw opinion.

Speaker 5:
[02:48] Please.

Speaker 1:
[02:49] Very gritty, authentic city. Like it's a place where like you have to be, like you have to go there and dive into what it is. The hole in the wall joints, the walking around, the pockets. We didn't get to go to any museums or libraries, unfortunately, because of our five hour long lunches, but just a very, and I'll tell you what, after going there, like I was a little scared going there, I was like, oh fuck, Mexico City, I don't want to get hurt like a pussy. It wasn't like, I never once felt like unsafe. Like I was.

Speaker 6:
[03:21] I mean, you were rolling pretty deep, like there was a lot of y'all, like nothing's gonna happen to you.

Speaker 1:
[03:25] We did have six of us, and then we had, so Hector knows this like driver who.

Speaker 5:
[03:32] What's his name?

Speaker 1:
[03:32] Manolo.

Speaker 5:
[03:33] That's right. He's the man.

Speaker 2:
[03:34] The guy in the Optic merch?

Speaker 5:
[03:35] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[03:35] Yeah, he had to tell.

Speaker 5:
[03:37] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2:
[03:37] Jersey?

Speaker 5:
[03:38] Security and driver, he's fucking all in one. Hell yeah. Sent him a massive, massive, I'm like, yo, what's, I'm like, Manolo, like, I was like, what size are you? I'm gonna send you a couple of things. I sent the whole thing.

Speaker 1:
[03:50] Airbnb was crazy too.

Speaker 5:
[03:52] Yeah.

Speaker 7:
[03:52] Airbnb was crazy.

Speaker 2:
[03:53] In Mexico.

Speaker 5:
[03:55] It's just like anything, if you go to anywhere, like in Tabe, to the face of the face.

Speaker 8:
[04:00] What up, dogs, Tabe here, and to the face, to the face.

Speaker 5:
[04:04] He used to tell me that he couldn't drink the United States water because of the microbiomes that we have in our water. They don't agree with however they grew up in it. But yeah, we got back in, and within 24 hours, I had to, and Manolo, so I sent him a whole package, and he's good people, so happy to have gotten to know him. He just knows the city unlike anybody else. The driving and all that stuff is crazy.

Speaker 1:
[04:30] That's one thing I hate about it.

Speaker 5:
[04:31] Riley, this is El Paso, Texas, so let's come back to this in a little bit.

Speaker 1:
[04:33] The driving there is like, especially, you pair the way you have to drive there with the way I was feeling. It wasn't just like a stomach problem. It was like a sick, it was like stomach, but like that sick feeling. And then you add the driving. Driving is the craziest thing I've ever seen there.

Speaker 6:
[04:50] Is it like organized there at all?

Speaker 1:
[04:52] It's organized chaos. It is like, they're stopping short nonstop. They're merging. There's no lines. It's like, it was hectic. There's a lot of traffic too. So the driving I did not like.

Speaker 6:
[05:03] Would you rather drive there or Talley?

Speaker 1:
[05:04] California. It's not even, I don't think you understand.

Speaker 6:
[05:07] Okay, you're probably right.

Speaker 1:
[05:08] If I drove there, I would have put the car right into a tree.

Speaker 5:
[05:09] Not me.

Speaker 1:
[05:10] Yes, you would have.

Speaker 5:
[05:11] No, I wouldn't have.

Speaker 1:
[05:12] No matter what you say.

Speaker 5:
[05:13] Zinny, you're gonna make me do.

Speaker 1:
[05:15] When Manolo made that move where he fucking.

Speaker 5:
[05:18] Went backwards and then took.

Speaker 1:
[05:19] We kissed the car next to us. I'd never seen something like it. It was honestly good on him for me to be able to do that.

Speaker 5:
[05:25] But see, you have to understand that it wasn't his maneuvering. It was the other people knowing that he was gonna do that also. And it's just like culture that if like you're not gonna go out of your way to hit somebody. We did see every single time that I've been there, I've seen a car hit something though. So first it was like, and it's always bikes and motorcycles that get into car crashes. Cause they don't give a fuck. Yeah, but like Mexico is very like, don't be stupid. You know what I'm saying? Like logic and common sense leads the way and nothing else matters. You're wrong because it's illogical. So it was good. And then we went to, obviously I took the boys to one of my favorite Mexico spots. Tacos called Tacos Las Rejas. This is a different area. I don't know why he put it in there, but this is it right here. That's my man Oscar right there on the ride. Bro, right there, those tacos de papa, those are potato tacos. That's like a vegetarian taco if you really put it, except for the fact that they are boiled in hot pork grease.

Speaker 1:
[06:25] I feel like we were robbed of more, like, because... Like, the two Michelin star joints, awesome experience. The food was good. It was good. It was enjoyable. But I feel like I was robbed of more stuff like this, like more of like the stands.

Speaker 5:
[06:40] What's your favorite taco spot?

Speaker 1:
[06:42] Between the two? Probably the last day.

Speaker 5:
[06:45] Atarantados.

Speaker 1:
[06:46] Yes, definitely.

Speaker 5:
[06:47] Okay, well, there's another spot called Tacos Domingo, which is this spot for me. I mean, that's my favorite taco, but if I'm gonna have like a full on experience, like there's no Tacos Domingo is just where it's at, man.

Speaker 1:
[07:01] What's crazy is how cheap everything is there compared to here. It goes to like, it's not even-

Speaker 5:
[07:05] They were paying for lunches, so they're like, I got it. No, shit.

Speaker 1:
[07:07] Tacos, I always do that, number one. Don't put that on me.

Speaker 5:
[07:10] No, no, no, of course.

Speaker 6:
[07:11] How many calories do you guys think you guys had? Like, total? Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[07:15] I don't know. I don't think I was eating that much.

Speaker 6:
[07:17] Big guess.

Speaker 1:
[07:20] We were drinking a lot, less him, but we went to the number two cocktail bar in the world, the number 23 cocktail bar in the world, and we were drinking, and that's what gets you. Food-wise, I feel like it wasn't, like that Michelin star stuff, even though it's like 11 courses, I don't think you're eating a crazy amount of-

Speaker 5:
[07:37] Bro, tell them about these tacos.

Speaker 6:
[07:39] Is this all different spots, or is this the same spot?

Speaker 1:
[07:41] This is the same spot in the last day. This is my favorite taco spot. So that's like steak that comes off the trompo. I'm pretty sure-

Speaker 5:
[07:48] No, this is not.

Speaker 1:
[07:49] Oh, no, sorry, that's the chicharrón.

Speaker 6:
[07:51] That's the pork belly. That's the brown on top of the meat.

Speaker 5:
[07:54] It's crunchy chicharrón, just like crushed up chicharrón.

Speaker 1:
[07:57] Dude, so good.

Speaker 5:
[07:58] It was insane. That is, that's like pastor, but it's done with a black adobo instead of the red one that you traditionally see on pastor tacos on pastor.

Speaker 1:
[08:06] I wasn't crazy about that. That was my least favorite taco. This one?

Speaker 5:
[08:09] I love this one. I took the pino off, obviously. I'm not American, even less in Mexico.

Speaker 1:
[08:15] That right there.

Speaker 5:
[08:16] Yeah, dude.

Speaker 1:
[08:17] That's that. Oh, man. That was so good.

Speaker 5:
[08:20] And then they had this adobo one, which is this Arabian taco. Oh, the gaonera. That's the gaonera right there. Man, that shows fire. So good. So, so, so, so good. Salsas were incredible. Company was good. I invited once, once Bose backed out and then who else backed out? Wasn't there two people that backed out?

Speaker 1:
[08:43] Did Mike?

Speaker 5:
[08:43] Oh, Omens, yeah. So, Omens backed out and Bose backed out. So, I hit up Oz. You guys know Oz, obviously, right? So, because he and I are working on a project for one of his projects called Yearbook. It's a magazine for creatives and I'm on the cover of Volume 2. So, I'm like, we all let's travel down there together. I want you to talk about it on the vlog, promote it a little bit. And I invited an old friend, Rishi, who used to be the head of gaming at Twitter. He did some fucking big shit at Meta or Facebook. Sneakerhead, cool people. And then I invited Tavo to come eat, Tavo, our camera guy for Idiots. I invited him to go eat at Pujol.

Speaker 1:
[09:29] That restaurant was the most beautiful restaurant I've ever seen in my entire life. It was like, it was the type of restaurant that you would only see in like a James Bond movie. So when it comes to pure aesthetics, I don't think I'll see a more beautiful restaurant in the rest of my life.

Speaker 6:
[09:43] Did you feel underdressed? No, no, no. It's not like that?

Speaker 1:
[09:47] Well, there are some people that wear the suits and stuff, but no, as long as you're presentable wearing something. I wouldn't go into tank top and shorts, I'd feel like an asshole.

Speaker 6:
[09:56] Okay, yeah.

Speaker 1:
[09:57] You put a nice button up on, some jeans, you're good to go.

Speaker 5:
[09:59] I went in a T-shirt.

Speaker 6:
[10:03] Not a strict dress code.

Speaker 5:
[10:05] That's why I hate steakhouse. One of my main problems with steakhouse is that you give me a boring steak and a fucking boring potato and you want me to wear a fucking dress shirt and be uncomfortable? Fuck out of here, man. Fuck out of here.

Speaker 6:
[10:16] For sure.

Speaker 5:
[10:18] Not with my girl? Get out of here, man. I'm not getting dressed up for the boys, the fuck?

Speaker 1:
[10:23] I had a great time minus the stomach issues.

Speaker 5:
[10:26] What do you think did it though?

Speaker 1:
[10:27] If we go back, definitely doing it differently. Keeping the days open, less planned stuff, and more free flow, let's go get tacos, check out this spot, less of the...

Speaker 5:
[10:38] Me and Eric Kahn were just bong rips the whole day.

Speaker 1:
[10:40] I smoked too. First night I smoked, I was back. I was chilling, I was making jokes, I was vibing. Second day, I took too big of a rip, I had to go to the room and pace back and forth for like 20 minutes. I was like, yo, I got to shit. I just went to the room and just walked back and forth.

Speaker 5:
[10:52] Why didn't you go outside?

Speaker 1:
[10:54] No, no one could see me in that state.

Speaker 5:
[10:56] No one would see you, period.

Speaker 6:
[10:58] Go look at nature real quick.

Speaker 5:
[10:59] All right, talk about the nature, the natural state of Mexico City.

Speaker 1:
[11:04] Hector was telling me that, so the way it works is like they don't take down trees. So the sidewalks are like natural. So like, it's like, they're kind of like ramps. It's just-

Speaker 5:
[11:16] Cracked ramps.

Speaker 1:
[11:17] So Mexico City is sinking, but what is it again? It's sinking, but what's going up? The tree?

Speaker 5:
[11:26] The trees, yeah.

Speaker 1:
[11:27] So the sidewalk is like going up because of the trees, but the city is sinking.

Speaker 5:
[11:31] Roots continue to crack the- they're gonna grow. So as they grow, they fuck up all the asphalt, right? And instead of fixing it by harming the tree, they just leave it, you know? There isn't a single building that goes up in Mexico City that is allowed to go up without having some sort of nature attached to it or some sort of green. It's like a green program. And if you go on the highway in the other passes, every column has a mad, mad- So, I was telling them that Mexico City sinks one inch a year, and they didn't believe me.

Speaker 1:
[12:07] It's 20 inches a year.

Speaker 5:
[12:07] I was like, look it up.

Speaker 2:
[12:08] 20 inches a year.

Speaker 5:
[12:09] And it's 20 inches per year in some areas. Or 20 inches a year.

Speaker 1:
[12:13] Like, what's gonna happen? Just gonna float away at some point? The whole city just gonna be like thucking the iceberg in Club Penguin?

Speaker 5:
[12:19] Yeah, maybe.

Speaker 1:
[12:21] Wait for Rockhopper?

Speaker 5:
[12:23] Yeah, it's like the biggest sinkhole. There's 27 million people that live there.

Speaker 1:
[12:27] I wouldn't buy land there. I'd be like, fuck, what's gonna float away?

Speaker 6:
[12:31] Maybe it'd be cheap. Maybe cheap land.

Speaker 5:
[12:33] I mean, when? When is it gonna... It'll be fucking ye... I don't think like that. It'll be fucking 102 years.

Speaker 1:
[12:39] Not in our lifetime.

Speaker 5:
[12:41] Okay, the ground will continue to compact for another 150 years. They forecast adding up 30 meters to what is already several. The thing is, it needs to be brought down a bit. That's how it looks. That used to be what some consider Texcoco. I think it was more like Tenochtitlan. What did I read there? Texcoco? That lake bed was one, Lake Texcoco, home of the Aztecs, like that, yeah, Tenochtitlan. But some are saying that actually, according to some history, it was more closer to Utah where the Aztec Empire was. It's debatable. But you're in the middle of a volcano right here.

Speaker 2:
[13:24] You're in a sinking volcano. You're sinking and there's going to be a volcano.

Speaker 5:
[13:29] What's that volcano, the active volcano there? So, I mean, look, go down a little bit, go down a little bit. Look at the purple, volcanics.

Speaker 2:
[13:38] Holy shit, I didn't even read that chart. That's like really close.

Speaker 5:
[13:41] That's lava, dude. What's red? It's a jungle, dude. You're in the middle of a jungle. It's beautiful. Like, the difference between being in the sun and being not in the sun, it's crazy.

Speaker 1:
[13:50] Oh, I've never seen light. I woke up one morning and I checked the UV in Mexico City. Shit said extreme, 13.

Speaker 5:
[13:57] I thought it was weird, too.

Speaker 2:
[13:58] Check the UV? Yeah. What does that mean?

Speaker 5:
[14:00] The index.

Speaker 1:
[14:00] Like the-

Speaker 2:
[14:01] Check the index.

Speaker 1:
[14:01] Like how strong the rate, yeah.

Speaker 6:
[14:03] Yeah, that'll tell you.

Speaker 5:
[14:03] To weather or not, you should wear sunscreen.

Speaker 2:
[14:06] What the?

Speaker 5:
[14:06] Which causes cancer.

Speaker 1:
[14:07] Yeah, if you go to the weather app-

Speaker 2:
[14:08] I just go to the weather app and I see, oh, it's hot today.

Speaker 1:
[14:10] Yeah, but if you scroll down in the weather app, it tells you to UV index. And 13 is like, I've never seen that in my life. Usually here, like on our hottest days here, it's usually like a nine, I would say. Like I usually see Dallas like eight, nine, 10. I've never seen.

Speaker 2:
[14:24] You look at that daily? The UV?

Speaker 1:
[14:26] Before I go for like a walk or something, yeah.

Speaker 2:
[14:28] And it tells you whether or not you have to put on sunscreen. Is that what you're saying? Yes.

Speaker 6:
[14:33] I just raw dog every time I put on sunscreen.

Speaker 1:
[14:35] You should wear sunscreen if it's moderate or above, especially with my skin. Like my dad had, I'm just super safe with the-

Speaker 5:
[14:44] Not us, right, Pam? Not with the skin we're in.

Speaker 6:
[14:47] No sir, no sir. Get me all a nice brown. Get me my brown sugar.

Speaker 5:
[14:53] This is your sunburn productivity ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Bro, now every time I see sunburn, I just think of omens when he paints and also mason when he fishes. Holy fuck, bro. When he was, his arms were that red. And I'm like, every time you pressed his skin, it would turn white and then it would go back to red. Yeah. And then I came back and he's like, look, and he had like a fucking skin peel from the sunburn when we went fishing.

Speaker 1:
[15:19] I feel like Mason is like an outdoor, I can see him being like an outdoors kid.

Speaker 5:
[15:24] He is.

Speaker 2:
[15:24] Yeah, like swinging on a tire swing.

Speaker 1:
[15:26] Yeah, like doing-

Speaker 5:
[15:27] Climb trees.

Speaker 6:
[15:28] Riley, bring up the food that you showed up.

Speaker 5:
[15:31] Yeah, yeah, bring up the, what Pam's feeling deadly about.

Speaker 6:
[15:35] The scone dogs.

Speaker 5:
[15:36] The scone dogs.

Speaker 6:
[15:36] The scone dogs.

Speaker 1:
[15:37] Yeah, wait, what is this?

Speaker 5:
[15:38] It's deliciousness.

Speaker 6:
[15:39] I made them yesterday for you guys, so I have it out there in the kitchen.

Speaker 1:
[15:42] What is it?

Speaker 6:
[15:43] And it's like-

Speaker 5:
[15:44] Can we eat them right now? Can we try them on the pod? Or is it for a video? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6:
[15:48] Maybe after the pod or maybe after the 1B1s, everyone could try it. I made a fuck ton, dude. Hell yeah. I was standing in the kitchen.

Speaker 1:
[15:54] What is it?

Speaker 6:
[15:55] It's like a native corndog.

Speaker 1:
[15:56] Oh, okay.

Speaker 6:
[15:57] And there I got, I brought the ketchup, I brought the relish.

Speaker 5:
[16:01] Listen, I'll tell you what, they don't look-

Speaker 1:
[16:03] I thought they were fried potatoes.

Speaker 5:
[16:04] They're greatest, and I like how you have oil also on the stove top.

Speaker 6:
[16:08] It was messy. I'm not gonna lie, my kitchen was an absolute chaos yesterday because I made them on FaceTime with my mom, which was like a really fun thing to do.

Speaker 5:
[16:14] That's also, yeah, of course.

Speaker 6:
[16:15] Yeah, she enjoyed that.

Speaker 1:
[16:16] You're a good man, Pam, you know that?

Speaker 5:
[16:18] He is a good man.

Speaker 1:
[16:18] You're always trying to make people happy.

Speaker 6:
[16:20] I'm always, I'm trying to share a little bit with you guys, you know what I mean? I'm excited for you guys to try this because every single time-

Speaker 5:
[16:25] I too should do a little bit more of that. You want to go have breakfast with my mom's this Saturday?

Speaker 6:
[16:29] Fuck yeah, I'm done.

Speaker 5:
[16:30] All right, I'll let her know.

Speaker 1:
[16:31] I like this. Now, Hector, next week you'll bring in tacos and then-

Speaker 5:
[16:36] What was that called in high school? We used to do a potluck of nations and everybody would bring in certain different things.

Speaker 2:
[16:44] Sushi? Bring sushi.

Speaker 5:
[16:47] No, don't bring sushi.

Speaker 2:
[16:48] Come on.

Speaker 1:
[16:48] He's a natural out there.

Speaker 5:
[16:49] You gotta go to fucking Hikari and bring a box. Is that a bento box? Look at him. I mean, my man is a little bit on the clearer side, but bro, he knew what the fuck he was doing.

Speaker 1:
[17:03] The mullet, too, it's like the perfect.

Speaker 6:
[17:04] Yeah, and the glasses, too.

Speaker 1:
[17:07] This is his arc right here.

Speaker 5:
[17:08] Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's Maniac. He had a fish on, didn't fucking set the hook, even though he told him not to. Listen, Maniac, holy fuck, look at Mace. Look at him.

Speaker 6:
[17:20] Oh, wow, yeah, his poor eyes.

Speaker 5:
[17:24] Bro, but I'll tell you what, Mace is outdoors as they come, bro, because he didn't want to get off the water at all. We only got off because Maniac was feeling a little like. Really? Yeah, a little bit. Oh my God. No, no, no, he wasn't. He wasn't. Matt, he was totally not being able to. But look at that day, bro. Look at that.

Speaker 2:
[17:41] That's nice. Yeah, that's pretty nice.

Speaker 5:
[17:43] Yeah. No, Mace was fucking.

Speaker 1:
[17:46] He looks like a fishing YouTuber right now.

Speaker 5:
[17:47] Yeah, he's like, when do we go back?

Speaker 1:
[17:52] Damn, that looks like a fun little morning, man.

Speaker 6:
[17:55] Looked like he needed that, needed to be out in the water. When you're out in the water, you really do not.

Speaker 1:
[18:00] First day down the back, like, yeah, I needed that.

Speaker 5:
[18:02] Yeah, I came back and then Brandon's like, yo, when am I going fishing? And I'm like, all right, you're down. And then Mace looks at him. He's like, you're hanging out that early. And then Brandon's like, what, like eight, nine? He's like, four thirty. Four thirty in the morning. So after we got back last Wednesday, I spent the night at my house. And then immediately after that, I was on my way to a trip to El Paso. There was a graffiti jam called Borderland Jam. And I hadn't painted a graffiti jam since probably Scribble Jam back in the day. But here it is. The amount of green wall members that came out to say, what's up, was fucking awesome. It was good people. On the left you have Omens, me in the middle.

Speaker 1:
[18:51] Wait, could you go back? I want to see all, yeah, hold on, let me see.

Speaker 5:
[18:53] Yeah, Omens fucking snaps, obviously, as usual.

Speaker 6:
[18:55] Who did the one on the right?

Speaker 5:
[18:57] Revice.

Speaker 1:
[18:57] Listen, Omens, that looks, that just pops. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That red is just.

Speaker 5:
[19:04] Yeah, he snapped, for sure.

Speaker 1:
[19:05] You guys all did great, though.

Speaker 5:
[19:07] He stole, both of them fucking stole my fucking red. And then I couldn't find the red for it. Like, I drove around the entire complex with my scooter that I bought. I left it to the kids, you know.

Speaker 1:
[19:17] I like the idiots tag.

Speaker 5:
[19:19] Yeah, that's cool. But yeah, no, it was good to be back in my, in my, not, I don't want to say hometown, it's my birth town. But yeah, like this guy, Christian, he came by, say what's up, and yeah, there I am.

Speaker 6:
[19:38] Did he show up with that shirt, or did you just, you just repeated?

Speaker 5:
[19:40] No, I tagged it. He asked me to, and I tagged it, yeah.

Speaker 6:
[19:42] That's sick.

Speaker 5:
[19:43] Yeah, so here I am with step number one, two. People are saying that I'm losing a lot of weight. I don't feel it.

Speaker 6:
[19:52] Just take it, bro.

Speaker 1:
[19:53] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[19:53] Just take the cover, bro. That's me in the finished piece with the boys.

Speaker 1:
[19:57] Hell yeah.

Speaker 5:
[19:59] They were saying, hometown hero, and I'm like, stop it.

Speaker 1:
[20:02] Stop it, boys. It looks, in this picture, it looks better than the picture of all three. Like, it pops more in this picture.

Speaker 5:
[20:08] Yeah, I mean, it's just color.

Speaker 1:
[20:09] You see the color more here.

Speaker 5:
[20:10] Yeah, and then I see all the mistakes right now. Like, I'm like, I should have done this there, or like, I forgot to do that there. Anyway, I had a blast. I did get a little bit congested as soon as I landed. Like, I just started fucking sneezing, and that night, I had to get one of those baby misters for the dryness in there, because it was pretty bad. But I had an excellent, excellent, excellent. Where's Catalyst 6?

Speaker 6:
[20:37] It's on the way, man.

Speaker 5:
[20:38] Yeah, you're working on it?

Speaker 6:
[20:39] I have like 60 clips, like just ready to go.

Speaker 5:
[20:41] Do you have the final? You already picked your ender? Are you closer?

Speaker 6:
[20:44] No, I have, dude, I have.

Speaker 5:
[20:45] What about your opener?

Speaker 6:
[20:45] I got like six, six of them, like at least really good clips.

Speaker 5:
[20:49] Okay.

Speaker 6:
[20:50] I low-key recorded two years for this.

Speaker 5:
[20:51] Damn.

Speaker 6:
[20:52] Yeah, like it was, I was supposed to have something come out last year, but it kind of fell through.

Speaker 5:
[20:57] What, the editor?

Speaker 6:
[20:59] Editor, yeah, basically the editors, and I was just sitting on these like 30 clips that I spent all year recording for, and I was like, what the fuck do I do with these?

Speaker 5:
[21:07] Can I pitch you an idea?

Speaker 6:
[21:09] Let's hear it.

Speaker 5:
[21:11] With AI being as good as it is nowadays, hold on, shut the, what are you sucking your teeth for?

Speaker 1:
[21:16] Come on, man.

Speaker 5:
[21:18] You should do a video where it's like a vlog, where you're not in it, it's your character is vlogging, you know what I'm saying? And you're going from, all right, now we're gonna go over here and I'm gonna try to do this fucking thing, and then bam, it cuts straight into that fucking play.

Speaker 6:
[21:32] I'd have to see more of what you're talking about, visually, I don't know what that even means.

Speaker 1:
[21:35] I can't even put that together in my mind right now. Whatever you just said, I can't visualize right now. What?

Speaker 2:
[21:40] I don't know what you're saying, but.

Speaker 6:
[21:42] It's hard right now, because I need a nasty editor. I hit up SLP, the one who made the second one, and he's like, I haven't made one in a while, and I'm like, there's money involved. I'm still waiting on him to get back to me, but there's not a lot of good nasty editors out there.

Speaker 1:
[21:57] What do you mean you haven't done in a while? Wipe off the keyboard and let's get to work.

Speaker 6:
[22:01] I know, bro, he would do so good, bro, and there's more, there's money involved too, but two years spent on this, I'm excited for it. I want it to come out like summer August, not like two months before the game, new game comes out. Like I need this shit. I need the shit out this year.

Speaker 5:
[22:15] Oh yeah. And is it both last year's game and this game?

Speaker 6:
[22:19] Black Ops 6, 7.

Speaker 5:
[22:21] What are you gonna call it? Do you know The Catalyst 6, 7?

Speaker 6:
[22:25] Low key. That's not a bad, that might get some more clicks. I'm not gonna lie to you, but they both look good. Both games look good together, I'd say, because Black Ops 6 and Black Ops 7 are pretty fucking alike. So I think they would look good next to each other, kind of just like how MW2 and MW3 was. So it'll be cool to finally get that happening.

Speaker 1:
[22:44] Yeah, I'm excited to watch that.

Speaker 6:
[22:46] Stressful though, stressful man. Because you'll be playing for 12 hours a day, nothing will happen. You won't record anything for you.

Speaker 1:
[22:54] All it takes is one.

Speaker 5:
[22:55] If I play two hours, something's happening.

Speaker 6:
[22:58] If I play your lobbies, I'm hitting something for sure.

Speaker 5:
[23:01] SBMN doesn't even work no more.

Speaker 6:
[23:03] Those lobbies are probably crazy.

Speaker 5:
[23:05] Yo, you play sniper lobbies, dude.

Speaker 6:
[23:07] Man, go play the fucking sniper only playlist, bro.

Speaker 1:
[23:09] Yo, James.

Speaker 5:
[23:10] Do you have that?

Speaker 1:
[23:11] What are you doing back there?

Speaker 6:
[23:12] I'm not using that. I'm not using that.

Speaker 5:
[23:14] I just puked in my mouth.

Speaker 6:
[23:15] I pray every time they drop this.

Speaker 5:
[23:17] And I pray.

Speaker 1:
[23:17] Look how bad he wants to be Bieber.

Speaker 6:
[23:19] I was gonna say.

Speaker 1:
[23:21] Look at the hair.

Speaker 6:
[23:21] I was gonna say. What up, Daisies?

Speaker 1:
[23:23] No, it looks good though. It looks good.

Speaker 5:
[23:25] Cool. Zany just brought somebody on the podcast who didn't get on the podcast. He looks like Bieber.

Speaker 6:
[23:31] He does.

Speaker 1:
[23:32] Riley, take a picture of him and just.

Speaker 5:
[23:34] Just put it.

Speaker 6:
[23:35] More neck tats.

Speaker 1:
[23:36] Yeah, just throw it in there.

Speaker 6:
[23:37] Think confidence on the side right there.

Speaker 5:
[23:40] Wait, is that what he has?

Speaker 6:
[23:41] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[23:42] Confidence?

Speaker 6:
[23:42] I think it's confidence.

Speaker 5:
[23:43] Under the neck?

Speaker 6:
[23:45] The maniac shit. I don't know why he's catching Strayz right now. That's my bad.

Speaker 5:
[23:50] Yeah, what the fuck? Don't worry. You catch Strayz with him all the time.

Speaker 6:
[23:53] I know.

Speaker 5:
[23:54] He's always talking about Pam. He's like, man, Pam should have came here.

Speaker 6:
[23:59] He's right.

Speaker 5:
[23:59] Pam would have loved this.

Speaker 6:
[24:00] He's right.

Speaker 5:
[24:02] OpTic Texas Stars, the major three qualifier. Hold on, hold on. What's up with the Huntsman, man? Let's talk about the Huntsman. What's up?

Speaker 1:
[24:08] I mean, Huntsman just stressed me the fuck out, but luckily...

Speaker 5:
[24:12] What's going on here? What is? That's his brother, bro. That's not even him.

Speaker 1:
[24:16] Who is that? Is it really?

Speaker 6:
[24:19] Did we just have this saved?

Speaker 5:
[24:20] Yeah, what the fuck, Riley?

Speaker 2:
[24:21] Riley's a weirdo. That was like 30 seconds, man.

Speaker 1:
[24:23] Riley's actually a weirdo.

Speaker 5:
[24:25] What the fuck, dude?

Speaker 2:
[24:25] That was 30 seconds, man.

Speaker 5:
[24:27] Bring him back so you can see it. Dude, he saw James coming and he moved it.

Speaker 1:
[24:31] No, no, no, not that. No, no, no. No, show James what you just showed. And then walk onto the... There he is.

Speaker 5:
[24:39] All right, it was worth it then, Riley. It was worth it. He saw it. That's why he walked away. He's like, God.

Speaker 2:
[24:46] What is that, dude? What?

Speaker 5:
[24:49] No, it's not. That's Riley. Riley brought that up quickly, too. It's seconds.

Speaker 1:
[24:55] No, I didn't. I did not ask for it. That's kind of federal. That James, the fucking 135 pound James. I didn't mean it. But yeah, OpTic... Oh, sorry, Huntsmen. Okay. So, last time I talked about Huntsmen, a lot has changed. So, new roster. We released Rispy in the mentions. Just didn't really work. We tried to give it time. Rispy obviously was with us since the first iteration of Huntsmen. So, shout out to Rispy and Nemi as well. They lost a couple of Game Fives in the Elite, unfortunately, and that was the difference between making the playoffs. They didn't do that. They went to the Major and they placed top 12. They got reverse swept by 4Fun, which was vivid in them, a team that we've beat a bunch of times. And just spoke to the boys, spoke to Major Maniac and felt like we needed a new look. So, we got Brack, who I feel like is a huge pickup. Like, I consider Brack like a cornerstone piece of the Huntsman now. Like, I think his, his new shot in the league is long overdue, but I'm happy to have him here for as long as teams want to sleep on him, because I think like he brings a bit of veteranship to the team. Actually, we need to talk about all this, because a lot of people, here's the thing with the Huntsman, there's going to be a lot of things that I say that we'll probably go back on, because the whole point of the Huntsman is like this very natural, organic, challenger's experience. So, what I say, we'll never have pros in the team, that's obviously changed, but so has the landscape of challenger's. Like right now, it's being dominated by NA pros, like being Snoopy and them, they're the best team in challenger's. Our goal right now is to feel like this good mix of players, where like you have this veteran leadership, you have this young talent. And with the Pro-Am coming up, the goal is to hopefully be on the main stage. And the only way to do that is to win the Elite.

Speaker 5:
[26:44] And this happens at Atlanta, right?

Speaker 1:
[26:46] Yes. And my, well no, it happens in the Elite online. So the Elite starts Wednesday, we qualified and a nail-biter, it was way too close. The only team that gets in is the winner. So it's going to be very tough. Competition is going to be at its highest. Hopefully our boys can go out there and do it. But yeah, this whole thing is like this, Challengers is fucking chaos is what I'm trying to say. It's very quick moving. It's not very forgiving. It's very gritty. And honestly, I kind of loved the chaos to the point where I was on my phone most of the time in Mexico City dealing with Huntsman stuff. We have Swooty now, which from a content perspective, Swooty is probably one of the best pickups you can possibly find in Challengers. The kid has personality and I think he's still continuing to prove himself. He's very talented. Like he's a character. He's very fun to have around. And then we still have Renegade, of course, and Johnny from the previous iteration. Let's watch this.

Speaker 5:
[27:38] This segment is brought to you by PricePix. We're going to pick what's happening this upcoming weekend. As you guys all know, I'm actually don't know what my last picks went like, but I am. I go negative. I'm negative Nancy Hader when it comes to this, unless it's our team. So any player that I pick is always less, no matter what.

Speaker 1:
[27:56] You're a less guy.

Speaker 5:
[27:57] Yeah, I'm a less guy.

Speaker 1:
[27:58] I'd say I like going map two because map two feels like, without knowing the maps, I just feel like search is more. Go to map two kills Riley. Let's see. Teej versus Falcons, he's been frying. Is anybody at five and a half, like Afro? Like come on bro, Afro's gotta get. Nope, not touching C9. Big Lou, Insight. Hmm. See, I would take Afro more than five and a half here. Who are they playing? I believe they're against G2. I'm not crazy about G2 right now. What do you guys think? Oh, plays Miami? Hmm, that might change things.

Speaker 5:
[28:38] Less.

Speaker 1:
[28:39] Whoa, less than five and a half?

Speaker 5:
[28:42] Map two. You think he's gonna get more than five kills?

Speaker 1:
[28:45] In search? I hope so.

Speaker 5:
[28:47] I don't know. I'm a hater.

Speaker 1:
[28:48] I always give players benefit of the doubt in search. If it's that low too, five and a half.

Speaker 5:
[28:54] Bro, he gets blooded three times and that's it. Just wraps.

Speaker 1:
[28:59] I think he go more here, Riley. This is the Tony pick.

Speaker 5:
[29:02] All right.

Speaker 6:
[29:03] I want Joe. I saw Joe down there. Who are they playing?

Speaker 1:
[29:08] Carolina.

Speaker 6:
[29:09] Carolina? Yeah, I got it.

Speaker 2:
[29:10] Less.

Speaker 6:
[29:12] Fuck yeah.

Speaker 2:
[29:14] We all have to pick one?

Speaker 1:
[29:15] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[29:16] Give me the top right square map or go to the first page. You cramp map one versus C9. Cramp.

Speaker 1:
[29:25] That's your boy.

Speaker 5:
[29:25] I just go right below him and I like Craze as a player, so please, my man, don't think that this has anything to do with you and your skill. Less.

Speaker 1:
[29:33] Okay. I like that.

Speaker 5:
[29:34] I like that a lot. I'm just a hater. I wouldn't pick that for my team.

Speaker 1:
[29:40] I think these are pretty solid. I would say.

Speaker 5:
[29:41] Riley, how many times do we play this weekend? Oh, okay. Finally.

Speaker 1:
[29:46] No, that's not true. Could be more, right? It's a minor tournament.

Speaker 2:
[29:49] A minor.

Speaker 5:
[29:50] Oh, what the? This weekend?

Speaker 1:
[29:51] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[29:52] They can play four times.

Speaker 1:
[29:53] Yeah, I can.

Speaker 6:
[29:54] When did it start?

Speaker 1:
[29:55] Friday? Friday, yeah.

Speaker 5:
[29:56] It's just like a regular watch party?

Speaker 1:
[29:57] It's like a tournament, yeah.

Speaker 5:
[29:58] Hell yeah.

Speaker 2:
[29:59] It's going to be fun as fuck to watch.

Speaker 1:
[30:00] It's going to be amazing.

Speaker 5:
[30:01] Fuck yeah.

Speaker 1:
[30:03] The only ones that I'm, I mean, I just think crimp is map dependent. You know what I'm saying? If they get like a.

Speaker 2:
[30:12] I just think C9 starts off hard points. And.

Speaker 1:
[30:15] That's true. There's always a comeback.

Speaker 2:
[30:16] The game always goes long.

Speaker 1:
[30:18] That's a good point, yeah. I like these picks. You know what? Let's see if.

Speaker 5:
[30:22] I put 200 down.

Speaker 1:
[30:24] Yeah.

Speaker 8:
[33:09] Now, that's one for you. Hey, everyone in Challengers are a bunch of deers. Right there, Confit, CWODs, Derek the Goat, Ryan, they're just deers. And they happen to stumble across four hunters.

Speaker 5:
[33:21] Oh, wow, that's cool, dude.

Speaker 8:
[33:24] Four deers, four hunters.

Speaker 6:
[33:28] I've seen enough.

Speaker 8:
[33:30] Get it going.

Speaker 6:
[33:30] He loves it here. He's got it, right?

Speaker 8:
[33:34] Let's freakin go. We'll see how the pools look, how everything goes. Be live tomorrow for it. But yeah, GGs, you guys all have a great day. Let's go. Hey, be the hunter, be the hunter. All right, bye bye now.

Speaker 1:
[33:44] He's hilarious.

Speaker 6:
[33:45] I love that, dude.

Speaker 1:
[33:46] Like his first day here, I was watching his stream. He goes, yo, Chash, should I go talk to Matt, AKA Formal? Or maybe should I go talk to Seth? You may know him as Scump. He's got it. So hopefully this roster can make something happen.

Speaker 5:
[34:02] He's called by the first names and shit.

Speaker 1:
[34:04] And yeah, man, I'm excited. Huntsman, once again, I do feel like-

Speaker 5:
[34:07] Well, what do you think, Matt? You've been watching The Huntsman. Is the project over?

Speaker 2:
[34:13] No, it's not over. It's okay. Nothing will ever be as good as the first.

Speaker 5:
[34:18] Yeah, truthfully.

Speaker 1:
[34:19] That's what I was going to say.

Speaker 2:
[34:20] I mean, that's my feelings on it. Like the Kips, Neum, Renegade, Rispy, that was like our first roster that like we were all behind. Like the Challenger scene was also exploding at that time.

Speaker 5:
[34:31] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[34:32] Whoa. You'll be fine with that. Like back then, people were arguing that it was better than the CDO.

Speaker 5:
[34:37] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[34:37] So it was like really fucking fun to watch. Everything Challenger related, there was stuff to watch every day, basically.

Speaker 5:
[34:42] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[34:43] Then we watched them play the tournament and they got fourth. And it was like all behind it. And every Huntsman roster that we have, I'm going to watch and I'm going to support. I think my natural interest in it has gone down a little bit. But if they were in the Elite Finals tomorrow, then I'm fucking stoked as fuck for them. But watching them play whatever they just played, whatever the clip was from, that shit was stressful, dude.

Speaker 1:
[35:06] Like they weren't playing great.

Speaker 2:
[35:08] Yeah, they weren't playing very good. And I'm watching it and I'm trying to defend the players, and especially John Renegade. I want to see him do well no matter what happens. And just seeing them lose to people I know they shouldn't be losing to, that shit irks me a little bit. I'm like, dude, you guys shouldn't be thinking this guy's hacking and then also losing to him. It just makes us look bad. I don't know, it's just, I don't like it, but I'm gonna watch them play the elite. And yeah, hopefully they qualify. That'd be awesome. It'd be a cool story. But yeah, they did squeeze into the last spot, which is like, it could make for a good storyline because they are kind of a newer team. Maybe this needs more practice, I guess, but.

Speaker 1:
[35:45] They, there was like a big team talk after, like the Neumann Kipps roster, I think we were so spoiled. Like when you send players to Thieves in Toronto, obviously we had something special. What I think, and what I'm, what we had this talk about was like, Renegade is a takeover SMG player, but he needs the confidence to do that. Like you can't nitpick him, especially this early. Like he's still early in his Cod arc. Like he is still learning and he has to be allowed to make mistakes. What Neumann Kipps did a really good job of is letting him do that and not like nitpicking his play style or like constantly correcting him. So I kind of reiterated that to this roster. Like listen, John is a takeover SMG. I've seen it. Mike, Major Maniac, will tell you. But he needs the confidence to do that. Like you cannot be calling him out every wrong play he makes. Like it has to be a collective... You guys all need to instill confidence in each other. So honestly, the BRAC move was... I kind of thought about Neumann in that instance. Like this team needs like a Neum. It needs a guy who's like calling the right play, the calm voice. And I feel like BRAC brings that. So listen, hopefully this roster can do something. You know, obviously that's always the goal. It's a little more difficult than maybe I envisioned to constantly field top rosters and challengers with how much things move. And honestly, now players are signing contracts and stuff, which adds a layer to it where I'm like... Some players are signing contracts where I'm like, why the fuck are you signing that contract? Signing our contract makes sense. You get a good salary, you get a team house. You sign this salary for nothing, and now I have to try to find you a way out of it. So there's more hoops than there used to be.

Speaker 5:
[37:27] Without committing torsious interference, of course.

Speaker 1:
[37:29] Of course. Of course. The Huntsmen Projects, it's a process. It's fun, it's stressful, but hopefully the community is still loving it.

Speaker 5:
[37:40] This guy, you should have seen him, he was working his ass off, and every time I looked at him, he was on the phone, I'm like, what are you doing? He's like, you showed me, it's a Huntsman business. And I see him getting a little bit stressed out, and having fun with it, of course, right? But it's a little bit stressful?

Speaker 1:
[37:54] Yeah, definitely stressful.

Speaker 5:
[37:55] Okay, then I said, whoa, what is this?

Speaker 1:
[37:58] That's me if shit goes sour. That's me if we don't qualify.

Speaker 5:
[38:03] That's not a bad look on you.

Speaker 1:
[38:04] Yeah, I don't know, I feel like I gotta pull that off.

Speaker 5:
[38:06] You gotta pull that off, dude.

Speaker 6:
[38:07] That's like five more Mexico trips right there.

Speaker 5:
[38:09] Nah, you can't get fat in Mexico. There's no GMOs. There's none of that.

Speaker 1:
[38:16] I see people tweet me like, dude, you guys don't have a roster and you're in Mexico City? I'm like, what do you think I'd be doing at home that I can't do with this phone in my hand? Yeah. Like, this is everything I need.

Speaker 5:
[38:27] All I'm saying is that I've been doing this for 20 years and that shit seems easy now. I just got to sweat and this shit, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 1:
[38:35] It's crazy. It's the Wild Wild West. Matt, what do you think about this meta?

Speaker 2:
[38:40] The meta?

Speaker 1:
[38:41] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[38:42] I think with a few more tweaks, it would be very good. I think it was cool to see, it was refreshing to see not only new maps, but new guns. That was the NPC. Then it got kind of OD. There was a bunch of NPCs. You see, you know, mains taking it out, running around with it. It's fucking certain hills. There's eight of them. The gun looks really fun to watch. I had a good time watching it. It was cool seeing like explosive ass plays, fucking Kyler's POV specifically, simps like 04 even at some points. Like the gun looks fun as fuck to watch. It should be able to kill up close. Shouldn't be able to map ARs. I didn't really see too many. Like I could see I saw a couple of mid range fights, not too many straight like beam, like just mapping someone off a head. You like the dravik was. I think it's a little overpowered now, though. It needs a little bit of tweaking. It's it's got too many perks right now. You're running running as fast as you are with like a knife out with it. I mean, every dude go to every series like the main A.R.s are like hiding almost like the Lunars. Dude, they're like there's demons on the map and they just don't want to go and find them. They'll just hide in corners. I don't know. It's kind of weird except for a boozer. And I guess he's squaring. I mean, that's a bad series of pull up Riley.

Speaker 1:
[39:52] Yeah, they also had what they also had double scar there.

Speaker 2:
[39:56] Didn't you watch him? You watched him. I know you did. There we go. Look at Jamie. I mean, that's also a bad example because he's low key kind of a slower player, but like sparse evens, like lower engagement. Go to find a Vancouver Surge series. Where's that one series I'm talking about? It was on Friday. It was on Friday. Yeah, that one. That one. Look at that shit.

Speaker 1:
[40:18] Yeah, Looters was killing.

Speaker 2:
[40:20] He's actually hiding. Like he was like, holy shit, dude.

Speaker 1:
[40:23] That's a 302 and he's just like, look at the ARs, too, and G2 is getting torpedoed.

Speaker 2:
[40:27] Yeah, like Mamba and Caesar were both kind of forcing it as well, especially like, damn, that gridlock came down to the wire, huh? It did. G2 choked. DJ went massive. But back to the original point, the guns needed. They needed to change. The drive was boring as fuck to watch, look boring as fuck to play with. I mean, I don't think the pros, any of the pros like that gun. This new gun is very, very good. It just needs a little bit of tweaking. I don't know whether it's a barrel. I mean, there's so many goddamn attachments.

Speaker 1:
[40:53] Yeah, it's like a shotgun.

Speaker 2:
[40:54] Yeah, it's just, I think that the sub should kill up close and shouldn't be able to map ARs and AR players shouldn't cry if you dive close to it, but you shouldn't just get blown away. Like I was seeing this, this weekend was pretty nuts. It was fun to watch, but I was like, holy fuck.

Speaker 1:
[41:07] I feel like it seems even more OP because in a game like this, what I was trying to explain, it just feels like you can take space so easily and you can force close range gunfights so much easier than you used to be able to. I don't think you can get, I don't think you're given super long range fights on a consistent basis like you used to. You know what I'm saying? People are constantly closing space. They're double jumping, they're sliding, and they're in your face like that. It's so quick. That's why I think the SMG look-

Speaker 5:
[41:34] Eight out of the 12, eight out of the 10.

Speaker 2:
[41:36] Yeah. If you look at the last stage, every toss ball was an AR and now there's eight SMGs in the top 10 of KD. Up straight KD is pretty nuts. I'm sure they all had a lot of fun.

Speaker 1:
[41:46] Just the way the map should flow, it shouldn't be that consistent. The ARs, because they're the back line, more often than not, are the cleanup crew. SMGs are usually closer in engagements. But if you do look at the top 10, it is, I will say, it is all the top talented guys. It is like, it's Shotzi, it's Joe, it's Hook, it's Neptune, Abyssin, Hydra, I think this meta complements them.

Speaker 2:
[42:07] Wait, go back down, Riley. Um, pretty nuts to see Lunars in the top 10. When, like, look at Shotzi stats and look at Lunars, but Lunars played two series, and Shotzi played one. That's kind of nuts. Like, he's, what, 23 kills ahead of Shotzi, and he had a whole other series on top of it, which went to game five. That's insane, to be honest. But yeah, I don't know. I do like the gun. I think I need to tweak it a little bit. I mean, I talked to Brandon and Scrap late night when we were playing Counter-Strike, and obviously, those are two mains of two top teams. So I'm hearing the raw actual, what they're thinking. It seems like that gun is just a little too much right now. I don't think we'll see it the same in this minor that we just saw this weekend. It was really fun to watch, though.

Speaker 5:
[42:59] So they are gonna tweak it, you think?

Speaker 2:
[43:00] I think so.

Speaker 1:
[43:01] Yeah, they're trying, like, yesterday, they tried, like, removing a certain barrel, and, like, they're trying to make it, like, they don't want the gun gone. They just want it to be a little more fair for ARs.

Speaker 5:
[43:14] Makes no sense.

Speaker 2:
[43:14] Yeah, not even just ARs, too. Just, like, just the...

Speaker 1:
[43:16] Even SMGs.

Speaker 2:
[43:17] Yeah, it's just, like, dude, it's making everyone look kind of insane right now.

Speaker 1:
[43:20] Like sometimes there's not even a chance for a gunfight. You're zapped and, like, like, there are some kills that we saw this past weekend, you're like, yo, holy shit, that is not even real.

Speaker 2:
[43:29] That A-bomb on Fringe, bro, that A-bomb on Fringe, it's crazy because in BO3, like, you only really go to that bomb site, like, late into a round, 2v2. Like, BO3, you're playing the train tracks, playing the map, you go top bar. And like, for some reason, this game, if you go top bar, it looks super fucking scammy. I don't know why. When you peek that window, it looks like they're scamming their dick off. Yeah. But in Black Ops 3, that was not a power position, but, like, you would stand there and square and whatever. But that A-bomb, like, that alleyway, the inside, dude, there's just people sliding in that doorway, just, pfft, just dead.

Speaker 1:
[44:00] If I was in AR, I would be petrified of that hallway.

Speaker 2:
[44:02] Yeah, I would just be running up mid or something.

Speaker 1:
[44:04] Petrified.

Speaker 2:
[44:05] I don't know. It's kind of weird. I don't know, by Plaza, that Plaza Cindy shit?

Speaker 1:
[44:10] Plaza shit.

Speaker 2:
[44:10] I saw Falcons versus Surge, where they just banged each other out in the bar, like...

Speaker 1:
[44:14] It's like Vault.

Speaker 2:
[44:15] It's fucking insane, dude. Five things in a round.

Speaker 1:
[44:18] I'm not a fan of Plaza.

Speaker 2:
[44:19] Yeah, it doesn't seem like a lot of pros are either, but I am a fan of Gridlock.

Speaker 6:
[44:22] Hold on, the way Plaza plays out, it's just a bang out. It's just a bang out in the disco, like what?

Speaker 2:
[44:27] Yeah, it's kind of ivy if you have in-game music.

Speaker 6:
[44:29] I love, yeah, right? I love the... Every time both teams would push that site, they always have such a good POV. Just watching them both fight each other.

Speaker 1:
[44:39] Oh, that third person?

Speaker 5:
[44:40] Yeah, that was actually dope.

Speaker 6:
[44:43] Just Hail Mary nades and everything, like who gets there first?

Speaker 5:
[44:46] Why does Boston Breach need a new roster?

Speaker 1:
[44:49] I mean, they're just, to be fair, I mean, they actually looked pretty decent in their second series, but yeah, I mean, Purges went positive, like one series in like six months, which everyone's harping on them for. They bring in Afro for Snoopy. Snoopy's now dominating challengers with P7. Most people just think that Boston didn't do enough.

Speaker 6:
[45:13] Oh, he actually got ripped there.

Speaker 5:
[45:15] What was that, Cibs?

Speaker 2:
[45:17] Around this day, I was watching the CS Majors out the weekend as well and watching them fucking chess every round, you know what I'm saying? The crowd's getting into it and then going to the CDL and watching this shit every fucking, I was like, dude, this is insane. Bob just looks so brain dead sometimes. This is one of those times. This is the round. We're not even 15 seconds in. You could still class switch at the door right there if you wanted. That's insane.

Speaker 6:
[45:41] Holy cow.

Speaker 5:
[45:43] That was like a 30 second round.

Speaker 2:
[45:45] It was 15 seconds.

Speaker 5:
[45:46] Oh, fuck.

Speaker 6:
[45:47] Bro, they did that like five rounds in a row.

Speaker 2:
[45:49] Yeah, I kind of liked it.

Speaker 6:
[45:50] It was kind of fun.

Speaker 2:
[45:52] At a point, I was like, just do it the whole game then. If you're going to keep doing it, then just keep doing it. Really just ripped the bandaid.

Speaker 6:
[45:58] And it really is like the better bomb site, right? Like, you get the bomb down. Yeah, there's like, you just look at three fucking things.

Speaker 2:
[46:05] That's just insane.

Speaker 5:
[46:06] That's Spar looking over at, like, at Perje and his team.

Speaker 2:
[46:08] I mean, come on, this is so insane to like, probably get this off the screen, dude.

Speaker 5:
[46:12] Wait, why, why?

Speaker 2:
[46:13] Because that's just like fucked up. First of all, it's just like fucked up for the Cod League to be posting that.

Speaker 5:
[46:16] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[46:17] That's fucking insane.

Speaker 5:
[46:18] 100%.

Speaker 2:
[46:20] I think it's taken out of context on top of that.

Speaker 5:
[46:22] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[46:23] I don't think Spar's just staring at him, hating him.

Speaker 5:
[46:25] Of course.

Speaker 1:
[46:26] Like, yeah, you are fucking awful.

Speaker 2:
[46:28] Yeah, I don't know what the fuck that is, dude.

Speaker 5:
[46:33] Nameless is top, I saw this. Top 10 CDL players, community was not having it, obviously, obviously.

Speaker 1:
[46:40] He didn't put Hook on it.

Speaker 6:
[46:40] What did he say, bro?

Speaker 1:
[46:42] He's basically said Hook's S&D is what kept him off this top 10, but I mean, I think Kyler has to be on this list.

Speaker 5:
[46:48] A hundred.

Speaker 2:
[46:49] Kyler needs to be on this list, for sure.

Speaker 1:
[46:52] I would move Nep up a little bit.

Speaker 2:
[46:53] He's got, I think Joe's number three.

Speaker 5:
[46:56] I think Nameless, because he's been around so long. He, it's like, he can't, like even when Seth was around, or when you were around, like he never put us at a number one position. He's always been just a massive Simp fan. He's Simps for Simp. Nameless.

Speaker 2:
[47:11] Yeah, it's because, I mean, it's because he was always fucking Bleed Blue.

Speaker 5:
[47:14] Oh yeah. Oh, that's right.

Speaker 1:
[47:16] Simp is good as fuck right now, though, man. The kid is a glitch.

Speaker 5:
[47:19] He is, bro. I am happy for him. And you know what? Like, out of the three, when the Tiny Terrors broke up, out of the three, there was always like, all right, we know that Simp's gonna be good. Which of the other two, and which one's gonna end up on top is like the one that stands out as the player. And I think there's no question right now that who's who. See, a lot of Hook supporters, I see a lot of Hook supporters, however, on the, but Hook was bleed blue.

Speaker 1:
[47:47] No, but what's-

Speaker 5:
[47:48] Blue with envy.

Speaker 1:
[47:48] The one thing about this is I listen to Wheeler say Kyler is the best player in the game, all of stage two.

Speaker 5:
[47:54] All of stage two.

Speaker 1:
[47:56] Every weekend, he was saying, Hook's the best player in the game. Yo, Hook's the best player in the game. Listen, I just think.

Speaker 5:
[48:02] Zero ball knowledge.

Speaker 1:
[48:03] Let's go, Ben.

Speaker 2:
[48:05] I also think that Kyler plays a really hard role on our team for search specifically, just search specifically. It's carrying bombs, it's a player that you don't really want to leash on, you're throwing them on them, and then it's like you have Ant, who's playing pretty solo the whole time. Like on defense, you'll see them run around together a little bit, but like for the most part, Kyler's probably not like 100% comfortable.

Speaker 5:
[48:24] I would like some consistency from the Wheeler mind, you know, if he is calling Hook the most mind blown fucking player, the reason why Shotzi's playing the way he's playing, he's unlocking everybody, not just a complete shooter, but also a fucking walking UAV, and not put him in the top 10, it just throws away his entire expertise on Call of Duty in my opinion.

Speaker 1:
[48:47] I can hear him now, what, this is blasphemy. Fire up the podcast, I am not a hater.

Speaker 6:
[48:53] Go ban, get him.

Speaker 5:
[48:54] No, no, no, we fuck with Wheeler. OG as they come.

Speaker 1:
[48:57] I love Wheeler House.

Speaker 5:
[48:58] He's wrong, but it's OG as they come.

Speaker 1:
[49:01] This is severely overblown.

Speaker 2:
[49:02] I can't believe that the CDL posted this.

Speaker 1:
[49:05] No, they didn't. I don't know how, I don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 2:
[49:07] Wait, hold on, they just showed this after the broadcast.

Speaker 1:
[49:10] Oh, this was on the CDL show?

Speaker 2:
[49:11] Yeah, they just showed it.

Speaker 5:
[49:12] I started over, let me listen to it. Why are we not blocking, dude?

Speaker 4:
[49:16] All of them green, all of them green, boys. What the ****, look, all of them green. We did the dick space.

Speaker 2:
[49:26] I mean, you got to show the situation, Riley, just to like, yeah, Riley, what the fuck are you doing?

Speaker 1:
[49:30] I watched it back and I think, them blocking had nothing to do with this though.

Speaker 5:
[49:37] Them blocking what? The hill?

Speaker 1:
[49:38] Kismet said, why are we not blocking? That had nothing to do with why that got broken. Like, Simp just hits a great nade, they had no trophy. We'll see. It accidentally loses a fight mid.

Speaker 2:
[49:46] There was a trophy, but it was poorly, poorly placed.

Speaker 1:
[49:48] That's what it was?

Speaker 2:
[49:49] It was very poorly placed.

Speaker 1:
[49:51] Well, what they thought happened is didn't happen.

Speaker 6:
[49:53] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[49:53] It's at the very end of the game, Riley.

Speaker 2:
[49:55] That's one of the things you watch back and you're like, oh, I didn't realize, I mean, they get team-naded, self-ops too.

Speaker 6:
[49:59] Damn, they lost this.

Speaker 5:
[50:01] Wait, they lost this?

Speaker 2:
[50:02] They also just lost to Heartbreaker, Game 3.

Speaker 1:
[50:05] I was actually arguing with my stream here because there, let me, like Selim gets a two-piece mid and he backs up, but.

Speaker 2:
[50:11] Yo, go back to the rotation to this, by the way.

Speaker 1:
[50:13] Yeah, back up, Riley.

Speaker 2:
[50:13] Kismet goes fucking insane on this whole rotation to like get to this L, or yeah, before that, right here. Look, he's the only guy here. He gets, draws it, new, goes top green. He gets shot, he like finesses this well. He waits for that guy to turn his back, kills him, says, oh, whatever, and now like they've won the rotation, just off of like what Kismet just did basically. Watch Selim here. And Xnid goes up. His team needs him. Whatever, whatever, that's fine. Cause he pops two. So you're like, whatever, you know?

Speaker 1:
[50:41] Back up a second, Riley. See right here, everyone's saying Sel should hit, Sel should be the one to hit out middle. And I do agree with that.

Speaker 2:
[50:46] No, no, no, he's going back because he has the trophy. He has the only trophy that they have. That's the only reason that he's not hitting this.

Speaker 1:
[50:52] My whole chat was saying MC needs to hit out mid. And if you let this play develop, if you watch what Xnid does, it's the same exact play.

Speaker 2:
[50:59] Hey, both of you, come break down this play. From our players. Did Sells scam right here?

Speaker 3:
[51:06] I didn't watch it, so I'm watching that.

Speaker 2:
[51:08] All right. You guys didn't see this?

Speaker 1:
[51:10] Here, back it up a notch, then you guys can come break it down.

Speaker 2:
[51:13] Yeah, look at this rotation.

Speaker 3:
[51:18] I didn't see this. I saw the clip of Xnid.

Speaker 2:
[51:23] He was like, we should have took space.

Speaker 6:
[51:25] He's like, we didn't go green.

Speaker 3:
[51:26] They were saying something like that, right?

Speaker 2:
[51:28] Yeah, yeah. Okay. So I think, and I'm not trying to harp on Cell too much here, but like, I think this whole place, Cell's fault. If he starts off with a team nade, excuse me, I already won the rotation. Okay, keep in mind, he just gifted him a rotation. Okay. Thel doesn't push mid. He comes back here. He throws a trophy. He throws his trophy like behind the plane, though. It's like in the middle of the grass.

Speaker 3:
[51:46] Do we see it?

Speaker 2:
[51:47] You'll see it soon. Yeah, you'll see it soon. You'll see it like towards the end of this clip.

Speaker 3:
[51:51] And AG gets naded because of it.

Speaker 2:
[51:53] Yeah, he dies because they're all, dude, there's only 10 seconds left. They're not nading top plane. They're going to n the hill because they're like, if we don't need the hill, we're going to lose. You know what I'm saying? Look, there's the trophy. There's the trophy.

Speaker 3:
[52:01] Look at it back out.

Speaker 2:
[52:02] I mean, that's where the trophy is.

Speaker 7:
[52:03] Extension even been middle.

Speaker 2:
[52:05] Do you think that it's not blowing up anything in the hill? He was just went back to put it down.

Speaker 3:
[52:09] Yeah, because he doesn't have it anymore.

Speaker 7:
[52:11] Yeah, right here.

Speaker 2:
[52:12] That's just not blocking the thing in the hill. He teammates gets to like, okay, fine. Whatever. Look, he's got his trophy. He runs back here. He chucks it. Then he goes back to him. Or then he goes to the plane that might be blocking, like just top plane, like to like over his head. You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 3:
[52:23] I might be blocking bad nades.

Speaker 7:
[52:24] Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2:
[52:25] I might be blocking bad nades.

Speaker 7:
[52:26] Yeah, he definitely does. He definitely does.

Speaker 3:
[52:30] Where did X to die from?

Speaker 2:
[52:31] He died from a B cut. CYMP just came and tucked him with like a piece.

Speaker 7:
[52:34] That's MPG, that's MPG.

Speaker 2:
[52:36] He just shotgunned a B cut. CYMP maids the guy on hill, then goes B cut and just shotgunned the B cut.

Speaker 7:
[52:41] I should probably look insane.

Speaker 3:
[52:43] We didn't take space green. That's the only clip I saw.

Speaker 2:
[52:47] So whose fault was this? Was it Kismet's for turning around Valk and Blue, or was it Valk and it's not pushing?

Speaker 3:
[52:52] I think all of them, but AG, you know?

Speaker 2:
[52:57] Yeah, in a weird, weird twist of events. But I think AG was safer.

Speaker 3:
[53:01] I think XNIT, if he's...

Speaker 2:
[53:05] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[53:05] He's also thinking that that guy is just pathing from P5 to mid cut is kind of crazy, like only looking for him. Maybe he's mind blown.

Speaker 2:
[53:12] Not really, it's CYMP though. I feel like CYMP would think to do that.

Speaker 3:
[53:16] That's a good play from CYMP. It's also an insane play from his three teammates are playing and they're not seeing that. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I can see all of them being like, what the fuck's going on?

Speaker 2:
[53:29] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[53:30] And then maybe he's like, wait, is that why he said they didn't take FaZe? Did he think that they should have bumped forward?

Speaker 2:
[53:35] But I also think, okay, okay, if I'm in Nexus position, my teammate gets in on the hill, I'm fighting that B cut fight differently than I am if my teammates are alive in the hill. I'm off angling, neat, I'm on the head.

Speaker 3:
[53:44] I'm not worried about it.

Speaker 2:
[53:44] But as soon as my teammate gets in, I'm like, I gotta kill quick. I'm talking about this play, by the way. Just when you guys walked in. Appreciate it. Just when you guys walked in, yeah. Cause I feel like people, I don't know, what does Merc think?

Speaker 7:
[53:57] I was gonna say it was all their faults. I mean, when they got three dead, Cell should have stayed out mid, but like he ran backwards.

Speaker 2:
[54:03] Fucking facts. I was gonna say that too. facts.

Speaker 7:
[54:06] And then Xen went middle, lost his gunfight. Teammate, just all three of their faults.

Speaker 2:
[54:11] There's a breakdown.

Speaker 7:
[54:12] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[54:14] It actually was a breakdown.

Speaker 7:
[54:14] Look, right here, Cell should just stay out mid.

Speaker 2:
[54:17] Because then when they rage after too, now you can show the rage clip, Riley, because they're raging about two different things. Hizmet's raging about fucking blocking and then Xen's raging about not pushing.

Speaker 7:
[54:30] I feel like they were good on blocking the whole time. No one was going to spawn behind them there.

Speaker 2:
[54:38] That's what I saw.

Speaker 3:
[54:39] Didn't take space, they're all green.

Speaker 7:
[54:41] Yeah, Xen said we spawned them all green.

Speaker 2:
[54:42] He sounded Irish right there.

Speaker 7:
[54:43] What?

Speaker 2:
[54:44] He actually kind of sounded like he had an Irish accent.

Speaker 3:
[54:45] No, it's really serious. All right, guys. Yo, just saying.

Speaker 7:
[54:48] No, no, thanks for...

Speaker 2:
[54:49] Get back to the podcast, guys.

Speaker 5:
[54:52] Celebrate appearances by the men right there.

Speaker 1:
[54:56] This is just such a setup. Like, yo, we couldn't keep Merc on the pod?

Speaker 5:
[55:01] Um, what I was going to say is that I'm surprised and also happy to see that Xen is, like, yelling and fucking, like, taking position in his own team and having the comfort level to fucking talk shit back when they need to. Why? You disagree? Why? Because he's a...

Speaker 1:
[55:21] He almost got dropped.

Speaker 5:
[55:22] He almost got dropped.

Speaker 2:
[55:23] Because I think that he's in fucking shambles right now, and I just think it's just adding fuel to the fire that is an explosion coming to that roster.

Speaker 1:
[55:30] That one's heartbreaking, too, because that was... They were about to force game five against FaZe, and they won the search in that series. Like, they could have won that series, and that's one of those series that if they win that, it's one of those...

Speaker 2:
[55:43] It's a weird resurgence.

Speaker 1:
[55:43] It's like a revitalizing...

Speaker 2:
[55:45] It's a weird resurgence, yeah.

Speaker 1:
[55:47] But what is that clip of us at the game last night? Yeah, we went to the Stars Playoffs game last night. Me, Dashy, Teage and Scrap.

Speaker 6:
[55:53] Oh, hell yeah, what was that?

Speaker 1:
[55:54] We had great seats, we were like three rows up from the glass.

Speaker 6:
[55:57] Playoff.

Speaker 1:
[55:57] It was an awesome game, too.

Speaker 5:
[55:59] Hockey, I like to watch hockey from mid-level. I don't like to be up front.

Speaker 6:
[56:06] By the glass is so awesome.

Speaker 1:
[56:07] These are our seats.

Speaker 7:
[56:08] Hell yeah.

Speaker 1:
[56:09] Yeah, it was honestly awesome.

Speaker 6:
[56:10] Buy your seats.

Speaker 1:
[56:11] Do playoff hockey? I'll tell you what, Dallas does it so well as well. Unless you go to it, you're shocked that Dallas does hockey that well, because it's not... You think more of like Cowboys, Mavs, they do this awesome. And I'll tell you what, we paid like $480 a pop for those seats. Anywhere else, you try getting those seats at the garden, you're paying $2500 a pop easily.

Speaker 5:
[56:36] What's the last minute or?

Speaker 1:
[56:37] No, it's just, they're like reasonably priced. Like last year, we went to game seven, me, Seth, like against the Avalanche, it was a crazy game. And I think those seats were like six or fuck.

Speaker 5:
[56:50] But Tony was on TV.

Speaker 6:
[56:53] I'm just saying.

Speaker 1:
[56:54] We were sitting right behind the penalty box and we were probably on TV at some point.

Speaker 6:
[56:57] It's McDavid's year. It's McDavid's year.

Speaker 1:
[56:59] They may play them next and I will not miss.

Speaker 6:
[57:02] No, I need to go to see that. If you go, let me know and I'll buy it with you.

Speaker 1:
[57:05] Let's go. McDavid is.

Speaker 2:
[57:06] That was crazy.

Speaker 6:
[57:09] What the?

Speaker 2:
[57:12] You can do that?

Speaker 6:
[57:12] Oh my God, bro. What the?

Speaker 1:
[57:16] That's not even real.

Speaker 2:
[57:17] That was insane. I didn't even know you could do that.

Speaker 6:
[57:21] Bro, that defenseman is tweaking right there. He's like, what the fuck are you doing in front of my eyes?

Speaker 1:
[57:28] This guy's juggling the puck right in front of my face. Bro, these are pricks. I'm like, what the are you doing in front of my eyes? He's juggling the puck right in front of my face.

Speaker 6:
[57:34] Bro, these are pricks.

Speaker 2:
[57:34] They're precious Twitter and they're just tweeting, I don't fucking clown.

Speaker 6:
[57:36] These are professionals.

Speaker 1:
[57:38] As soon as I see him start doing that, I'm lowering my shoulder and I'm just, I have to rock him.

Speaker 6:
[57:43] I'm taking the body for sure.

Speaker 1:
[57:44] Yo, Rantanen's huge though.

Speaker 5:
[57:46] What is?

Speaker 1:
[57:47] Rantanen, that player who just did the cool move, he is ginormous.

Speaker 6:
[57:50] Wait, he's like the 6'8, or what? I don't know.

Speaker 2:
[57:53] I think he's gonna let him do that to you.

Speaker 1:
[57:54] There's one guy on The Wild, they call him like the enforcer. He wears no face mask, he's just as mean, he fucks people up.

Speaker 6:
[58:04] I love that, dude. Very cool.

Speaker 5:
[58:05] What happened to Karrigan leaves? Karrigan's Ghost of Falcons have a sore career on FaZe and the muscle memory kick in.

Speaker 2:
[58:12] He's on the Falcon Zone.

Speaker 6:
[58:15] Oh yeah, he forgot which team he was on.

Speaker 5:
[58:17] Oh shit. Muscle memory. Ah, cool one. Thanks, Riley. Yo, shout out Karrigan, man. What a fucking legend.

Speaker 2:
[58:24] He just turned 36, apparently.

Speaker 6:
[58:26] Really? 36?

Speaker 1:
[58:27] Good for him.

Speaker 6:
[58:28] Holy shit.

Speaker 5:
[58:30] He looks great.

Speaker 1:
[58:30] I don't think you can play.

Speaker 6:
[58:32] Why is he posing in front of what looks like an ambulance? What is that?

Speaker 5:
[58:36] He's a doctor, dude.

Speaker 6:
[58:37] Oh, I get it. Never mind. I didn't see the jacket or anything like that.

Speaker 5:
[58:41] I still don't get it. I mean, like what's-

Speaker 2:
[58:43] I'm gonna fucking fix you up.

Speaker 6:
[58:44] It's Never Lupus?

Speaker 5:
[58:46] What the fuck am I hearing?

Speaker 6:
[58:48] What house? Come on now.

Speaker 5:
[58:50] Everybody lies.

Speaker 6:
[58:51] Everybody lies.

Speaker 5:
[58:52] Everybody lies. 13. Yeah, keep it on here, Riley. Let's see what happens. I'm kidding, Riley. I'm kidding, Riley. I'm kidding, Riley. I'm kidding, Riley.

Speaker 7:
[59:03] That was awesome.

Speaker 5:
[59:05] NBA playoff, his picture? Fuck, man. No one cares. Billy Donovan out as the boot. Finally.

Speaker 1:
[59:13] Yo, check out that Drake ice promotion. That's actually- that looks dope. I wish I was in Toronto for this. You didn't see this? Drake, you'll see.

Speaker 5:
[59:21] He's promoting ice like the government?

Speaker 1:
[59:25] He has the release date in the middle of this sculpture. So as soon as all the ice melts, the release date for the album shows. So people are out there with flamethrowers.

Speaker 5:
[59:33] Trying to melt it?

Speaker 6:
[59:34] Yeah, they're trying.

Speaker 5:
[59:35] Wait, man, dude, I already, you know, it's like Green Bay Packers, yo? The fuck is wrong with this dude, man?

Speaker 1:
[59:42] He gifted a streamer, like a streamer went in an IRL stream, dude. He gifted the streamer 2,000. I almost booked the flight. Like, we're going to that sculpture. I'm actually going to Toronto in a week from today. You think this will still be not melted?

Speaker 6:
[59:55] Maybe. Probably not, bro.

Speaker 1:
[59:57] Look how thick that-

Speaker 6:
[59:57] I'm hearing stories of people like talking about throwing salt on it and shit.

Speaker 1:
[60:01] It's just not melting?

Speaker 6:
[60:01] Just to get it fast enough, you know?

Speaker 2:
[60:03] You guys got a flame thrower, man.

Speaker 6:
[60:04] This isn't-

Speaker 2:
[60:05] You got a flame thrower. I don't think this will be here next week. Dude, that guy's a pickaxe.

Speaker 5:
[60:10] Yeah, pick- straight into his toes. Straight into his toes. Let's think about the logic of that dude. He's hammering away or he's chiseling away at the ice cube he's standing on top of.

Speaker 2:
[60:23] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[60:24] This is actually hilarious. This is great marketing. This is comedy.

Speaker 5:
[60:29] Are you sure it's not AI?

Speaker 6:
[60:30] It's still cold there though, so it actually might take like a week or so.

Speaker 1:
[60:34] Yeah, I hope so. I want it to be there when I go.

Speaker 6:
[60:36] But now I'm wondering, is there something inside of it? Let's see the weather.

Speaker 5:
[60:40] Release date.

Speaker 6:
[60:40] Well, obviously.

Speaker 2:
[60:41] Like an alien?

Speaker 6:
[60:41] What does it look like?

Speaker 1:
[60:42] Let's see the weather in Toronto. Oh yeah, it's 46 degrees. It's 62 tomorrow, so that's not free. If it rains, that might help.

Speaker 6:
[60:50] It's going to melt.

Speaker 5:
[60:51] Let me see the Japanese engineers making fencing look cool, Riley, before we take off here.

Speaker 1:
[61:02] Wow, it's like lightsabers.

Speaker 5:
[61:04] No, it's like that fucking The Ribbon fucking games at the Olympics.

Speaker 2:
[61:06] Disney ones.

Speaker 1:
[61:14] Damn, poked his ass.

Speaker 2:
[61:16] Nish.

Speaker 1:
[61:18] Get over here.

Speaker 2:
[61:23] I thought it was gonna be cool, you can leave this, Riley. Let's go to the fan questions.

Speaker 5:
[61:26] Yeah, thank you, Riley.

Speaker 2:
[61:28] Sound nothing, like just crazy.

Speaker 1:
[61:30] I thought that was awesome.

Speaker 6:
[61:31] I thought it was cool.

Speaker 2:
[61:33] I'm a sea turtle?

Speaker 5:
[61:37] How do we feel if we are this guy? It's a hockey fan.

Speaker 6:
[61:43] Oh my God.

Speaker 1:
[61:47] Hey.

Speaker 2:
[61:48] Wait, he let that score? Is that what happened?

Speaker 1:
[61:50] No, he was trying to get it.

Speaker 2:
[61:52] He was trying to get it, so you're saying like if he would have got it, this wouldn't have been a score.

Speaker 6:
[61:55] Bro, you better skate your fucking heart out at least.

Speaker 1:
[61:59] Wait, why did he stop?

Speaker 5:
[62:00] Because he thought it was deviating.

Speaker 1:
[62:02] Oh my God.

Speaker 5:
[62:04] Right here we see him slam, right?

Speaker 6:
[62:05] Bro, he's getting benched next time he plays.

Speaker 1:
[62:06] Wait, would he have stopped, do you think?

Speaker 6:
[62:08] Yes.

Speaker 1:
[62:09] Oh, he would have stopped that.

Speaker 6:
[62:11] You don't stop skating, you fucking throw your body out there.

Speaker 1:
[62:14] Oh, no, I didn't even realize that.

Speaker 6:
[62:17] That just looks so bad.

Speaker 2:
[62:19] Is that the playoffs as well?

Speaker 6:
[62:20] Yeah, bro.

Speaker 2:
[62:21] Dude, that's pretty nice.

Speaker 5:
[62:21] All right, the green wall asks the pod from Cturtle, would you rather always have an annoying song from TikTok stalking your head or always have an itch in that part of your back that you can't reach?

Speaker 2:
[62:32] TikTok song.

Speaker 5:
[62:32] TikTok song.

Speaker 1:
[62:33] Not even close.

Speaker 5:
[62:34] First of all, and Walls exists too. From TdGod, would you rather get yelled at by HECZ or scolded by Paige?

Speaker 2:
[62:41] Scolded by Paige, 1000%.

Speaker 1:
[62:43] No, I think I'd rather get yelled at by HECZ. Nope. Because I'm more used to seeing him worked up, where if Paige is yelling at me, I know I actually fucked up bad. You know what I'm saying? No. It's more frequent that you're pissed and you're going to yell at me than Paige yelling at me.

Speaker 2:
[62:57] You'd rather disappoint Paige than you'd rather disappoint me.

Speaker 1:
[62:59] I never see-

Speaker 6:
[63:00] I don't want to disappoint anyone.

Speaker 2:
[63:01] I don't think I've seen Hector mad since that one board meeting we had-

Speaker 1:
[63:07] I remember that.

Speaker 2:
[63:08] A year and a half ago, whatever that was. That was the first time, not the first time, but one of the times I was like, oh, he's actually really mad. That was scary.

Speaker 1:
[63:16] Luckily, the times he's been mad at me, I haven't been here and he's called me and yelled at me. That's a little better than person, I'd be like, oh fuck.

Speaker 5:
[63:24] But it doesn't come out of the blue.

Speaker 1:
[63:26] I bet.

Speaker 2:
[63:26] Hector doesn't also just get mad at me for anything, so if he's mad at me, I'm usually kind of already in like the sorry position.

Speaker 5:
[63:32] That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2:
[63:34] I just troll page.

Speaker 5:
[63:34] From Bluesboy, he says, would you rather change one decision from your past or see one decision from your future?

Speaker 1:
[63:41] My past.

Speaker 2:
[63:41] My past.

Speaker 1:
[63:44] I got a few options too.

Speaker 2:
[63:46] I got a bunch, they're all fucked up to say in the pod though. Let's keep it going.

Speaker 5:
[63:49] From Riley. All right Riley, would you rather always, yeah, he just, he's like, Hector, would you rather give me a raise or an additional two weeks vacation paid?

Speaker 1:
[64:00] If people know what I was thinking, I'd be struck dead. So I would have-

Speaker 5:
[64:03] Go ahead, what's the question?

Speaker 1:
[64:04] Would you rather always know what the person you're looking at is thinking or always have to say what you're thinking out loud when looking at someone?

Speaker 5:
[64:13] I like to say what I'm thinking, because even if you tell the person, I know what you're thinking, they're gonna be like, I have to wear a Bane mask or like a muted one.

Speaker 1:
[64:21] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[64:21] I have to muzzle myself. Not me.

Speaker 1:
[64:22] They couldn't see my face.

Speaker 5:
[64:24] Not me.

Speaker 1:
[64:25] What are you, Pam? I think I'd rather know what they're thinking.

Speaker 6:
[64:28] Yeah, that's more interesting to me.

Speaker 5:
[64:30] Why? Because even if you know, they're still gonna deny it.

Speaker 1:
[64:33] Because the shit in my head, if I say it out loud, people will be like.

Speaker 2:
[64:36] Yeah, fighting people nonstop.

Speaker 1:
[64:38] Like what the hell?

Speaker 5:
[64:38] They would laugh though a little bit, I think. All right, last question. Would you rather have a perfect photographic memory and you remember everything forever or be able to forget anything you want and forget at will?

Speaker 6:
[64:51] Photographic memory.

Speaker 2:
[64:52] The first one. Then you could just compartmentalize the things you don't.

Speaker 6:
[64:56] Then I'm good with the Huntsman, bro.

Speaker 5:
[64:57] No, because then you're gonna be mad at people forever because if you remember everything, that means that the emotion that you felt when you learned that thing will always remain there. In an episode of House.

Speaker 1:
[65:07] All we have in life.

Speaker 2:
[65:08] I don't even need to remember to forgive.

Speaker 1:
[65:10] All we have in life is our memories, man. That's all you got is your experiences.

Speaker 5:
[65:13] That's right.

Speaker 1:
[65:13] So being able to remember everything, that'd be awesome. Knowing you can be 85, 90 years old and you'd still have the same.

Speaker 2:
[65:19] Like limitless.

Speaker 1:
[65:21] Yeah. That one's easy.

Speaker 5:
[65:23] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[65:24] GG's.

Speaker 5:
[65:25] GG's.

Speaker 1:
[65:26] GG's, man.

Speaker 5:
[65:27] Onto the next one. We'll see you guys next week.

Speaker 1:
[65:28] Thank you guys for watching.

Speaker 5:
[65:29] Do I have a password?
