There's been a situation..
Chapters8
The hosts vent about struggling to find a place, including a chaotic Airbnb experience and a frustrating realtor, setting the tone for ongoing housing challenges.
Asmon and Zach field humor, chaos, and hot takes—from WoW drama to aliens on Poly Market, with Fandy dropping in for a wild kitchen episode.
Summary
Asmon Gold (Asmongold) and Zach deliver a sprawling, freewheeling chat that bounces from real-life moves-in-an-Airbnb woes to epic gaming memories. They riff on a stalled housing search and a chaotic listing, joke about World of Warcraft raids, and compare streaming eras with ruthless candor. The duo also dives into modern tech chatter—AI misfires, Will Smith-level memes, and the strange lure of platforms like Poly Market to forecast everything from alien existence to oil prices. Interspersed are anecdotes about old-school Twitch crew days, behind-the-scenes sponsorship headaches, and fan moments, all peppered with banter about Jewish heritage, Scottish identity, and internet culture. Guest appearances from Fandy add a hands-on gaming-intersection vibe as they swap stories about WoW, Hearthstone-style housing in games, and the evolving landscape of streaming. The vibe stays chaotic but uncanny: big topics, bigger personalities, and a sense that the audience is in on the joke. It’s a mash-up of memory lane, hot takes, and live, unfiltered conversation that only this crew could pull off in 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Uh, welcome to the show. Uh, this is the new episode of AllCraft. We're at a Airbnb and so, uh, yeah. Anyway, we just can't can't get a house. We can't figure it out, dude. I'm not going to lie. I hope she doesn't watch the show because Jacob actually made fun of me because I just like I was like, "Yeah, this is Asmin Gold. We do a podcast." He's like, "You're going to get us kicked out of the house pretty bad." Um, I think that the realtor that we found was [ __ ] and that's why we don't have a house.
And I missed at least three streams because of it. Jesus Christ. Okay. It sucked. So, it was a total waste of time. Absolute massive [ __ ] waste of time. We got it cooking now. We're going to get a new place soon. I I I think we'll we'll be all set up and ready to go. This Airbnb is pretty sick, though. It's a really nice place. It is. Like, I I like it. So, you didn't see the actual listing? It literally says on it, uh, maximum guests allowed 37. 37. Exactly. We are in a swinger's paradise right now.
Oh [ __ ] Yeah, man. Is this Oh god. Okay. Just thought about that. While we're It is what it is, right? It's fine. Do we bring [ __ ] UV lights? No. No. No. It's better just to not to know. It's better to just not know. I definitely I definitely agree. Out of sight, out of mind. So, we took off two weeks. We did because we thought that we were going to be playing so much World of Warcraft that we took off two weeks. And I took off. I played it for three days. It was a great three days.
Amazing three days. Had a lot of fun. And now it's over. It's over already. I've got to actually go play it again and get ready for the raid and everything. Dude, 15 years of it's over. I'm logging on tomorrow. Yeah. Yeah. It's over while you're online. But guys, I'm totally done with this. I'm not going to play anymore. Well, actually, I mean, I've been playing a lot of other stuff. I've been playing like, you know, Resident Evil and all of that. It's been great. Honestly, dude. I Every time the mods like message me and they're like, "Oh my god, he's actually going to beat the game." And I go, "I did that." Yeah, I say I I take credit for everything honestly.
Like there was a few people that were like, "He's never going to beat a game ever again." And I'm like, "Little [ __ ] [ __ ] Who the [ __ ] do you think you are?" It's the one guy say that. Yeah. Like really? Oh, really? You really think that you're going to Oh, you're going to be right just like you were right the other 15 times? No. Not again. You know who you sound like right now? What? Assad. What's true? You guys are the same, bro. I mean, it's true. Yes. And and No, you're right. And by the way, he also um you know, like apparently he had some collab planned with somebody and it got cancelled.
Oh. Oh, I DM'd him the CI CIA guy. I DM' message off. I'm going to message him, too. Yes. On the off. Okay. You know what? I I messaged Never mind. We'll we'll do it with you messaging him just in case cuz that would just be so [ __ ] funny. And you know, I like his son as as an individual. I think that would be [ __ ] funny. I think it would be really [ __ ] funny. Um, that guy, by the way, I'm very curious to talk to him because I've seen him in videos before. Have you ever seen any of his stuff?
Uh, so he's like CIA I've seen like two two minute clips of his stuff. I've never watched anything like long form, but yeah, I've seen his stories. Mhm. He tells stories the way that I tell stories. Uh-huh. So, I'm like, I don't know if I trust him. Yeah. Like this. Oh, that's real bad, guys. That's really bad. He said this [ __ ] story the other day that I saw where like his he finds out that his wife was cheating on him. Because his child goes, "I told mommy not to kick uncle Stalinki or something like that.
What the fuck?" And then he goes into the room, he's all pissed. Then she gets in a car accident and then he shows up and he beats the [ __ ] out of the guy. But then he doesn't get arrested because he has diplomatic immunity. And then he goes like, they go, "Wait, why did you punch him in the first place?" He goes, "I punched him because he called my wife a whore." And it was like, well, that's illegal in Greece. Cuz he was in Greece at the time. So then they arrested the other guy. But then he was like, yo, please don't arrest him.
And then the guy sued him. And I was like, I don't know if this was all real, but that's a ridiculous. Yeah, maybe it's true. Maybe. I don't know. I have no [ __ ] idea. But even if it's not, the guy can It's a great story. He can tell a good story. Good story. Yeah. But I was happy to see you beat Resident Evil 9. It's a [ __ ] good game. Did you play it? Yeah. So I watched you play it. And then I said, "Oh, I'll just do the same exact thing Zach does, but I'll run 10 times as many ads because that's what the people want." I think it's more than 10 times.
Dude, I am running, by the way, the bare minimum that I have to. Really? Yes. Why? Be I don't talk about politics, so I still have to watch ads to turn off my my pre-roll. And I don't want the pre-roll on. Well, I mean, like, why aren't you running more? That's what I meant. Cuz I cuz people are already like, "What happened to Twitch?" Oh, no. It's so bad now. It's It's actually like honestly the amount of ads and [ __ ] like that is insane. I I don't watch Twitch cuz I have a girlfriend, right? Yeah.
Yeah. So So uh so I just watch her content. Okay. On Pornhub. That's so much better. Oh, that's so much better. Wow. No ads except for Blue Chew.

So, dude, I don't know what the [ __ ] happened, but I like randomly had him blocked on Twitter.
I don't even know how. Yeah, I blocked Quinn and I was like, "Wait, what the [ __ ] Why am I Why is Quinn blocked and like Yeah. I was like, I bet he probably thinks I actually hate him, dude. I had no idea how. So, I'm going to lose it now." Yeah. Which is kind of a bummer. So, you remember a few weeks back when Blizzard did the [ __ ] announcement thing and it was like the [ __ ] and they just talked about housing the whole time? Oh god. Yes. So, I stayed up all night to watch it and it was like 5:00 in the morning my time or some [ __ ] and I'm watching it and I'm reacting to it.
But I log in and on Twitch Blizzard I'm I was still modded in the Warcraft channel. Uhoh. And I I just banned Quinn. [ __ ] really? Oh my god.

Yeah, I've kissed the wall. What the what? When? Uh when I was 22, maybe. Was that in order to get into your your job? How How do you think I got How do you think I met you? Chill out. I like shook a couple hands. No, no, I did the Birthright thing. It was pretty weird. they like really like kind of It's a guided tour.
basically. I really didn't like it. I actually I I left um it it had the opposite effect on me. Yeah. I was like, "Damn, I don't really this doesn't sit well with me because I'm not, you know, this I my my dad is a or was, but like 100% went to Catholic school, Scottish guy. And then my mom's family." Yes. Uh very very Jewy. Very Jewy. Very Jewy. Um like literally it was like What's the difference between Jewy and very Jewy? Um, like I like I had an Uncle Marty like Have you ever watched the Have you ever watched the Rugrats uh Passover special?
Oh god. That's what holidays were like with my mom's side of the family. Wow. Yeah. Um, yeah. They were they were they were fullon top yids. They were just not good. No, no, no. They were It was great. I I mean like No, no. I I All right. Okay. But then my dad's side of the family. 100% Scottish. Right. Right. Yeah. Somehow cheaper than the Jewish side. Oh, no. That's normal. That's normal. Yeah. I'm part Scottish. I'm just like, yeah, of course. Of course. You don't want to spend [ __ ] money. He wants you to spend [ __ ] money.
It's like, you know, like when there's certain like muts where it's like, oh man, they're like, this is the perfect hunting breed. I'm just like the perfect cheapkate, you know? Just like half Scottish, half Jew. And dude, the two like Scottish people are the Jews of Europe. Oh yeah, I know that. Yeah, everybody knows that. Just they just complain. Yeah, they complain. They have problems constantly. There's always issues. They don't want to spend any money. Yeah, exactly. I'm also like the worst Scottish. Yeah. Campbell. What's wrong with that? You ever watch Game of Thrones? Yeah, I've seen Game of Thrones.
You know, the Red Wedding. The Campbell actually did that [ __ ] That's what it's based off of. [ __ ] bass. It was called It was called It was called The Black Supper. Oh. So, so basically like this was actually a thing my dad uh rest in peace [ __ ] when he was doing business. Certain Scottish people wouldn't work with him because his last name was Campbell and he didn't know why he wasn't into that [ __ ] Yeah. Yeah. Um but like I think it's the McDonald's or or no something something the McFatens or something like that. Yeah. Um, we call them something else in my house, but no, basically the we like there were like two things that the camels did that was [ __ ] up.
One of them they stole all of the sheeps or something and they hit them on the top of a hill and like a bunch of people died. And then the other one was that they like kind of ended up getting close with the British at some point and then like killed a bunch of other Scottish people. Oh, that's that's actually kind of [ __ ] up, man. That's kind of That's pretty bad. I can see why they wouldn't want to do business. You know what Campbell means? It's like crooked mouth. Yeah. Really? Yeah. And it's [ __ ] Yeah.
So, I'm just like, man, I I started I started just a bad spot, you know? Yeah. But Yeah. No, I kissed the wall. And uh I if we if we uncomfortable though really I really didn't like it the like the trip itself. Yeah. Was they like I felt like they were like trying to get us to like have Jewish families like while we were there was kind of the vibe. It was like I I don't know. So I didn't like the trip. I'm not saying I had like when I was there I felt super uncomfortable being in Israel itself.
I don't think it matters what religion you are. Super interesting. I think that if I if I ever do an ancestry test and it says that I am I think I might have to I I think I would have to go. Well, I mean I would have to go at that point. Your streaming career would be done. Well, I just wouldn't tell anybody. Yeah, I just wouldn't. Yeah, of course. I would never tell anybody that. Obviously not. Of course not. Keep that [ __ ] under wraps. Yeah. Well, like I could say also like I'm kind of like undercover, right?
Like a double agent or something. Oh, yeah. I'm sure that that will help the perception of Jews. Really help a lot. Thank you so much for bringing our people forward. I like how I just included you as a No, no, no. It's okay. I'm selling them out. It's like it's a really bad time. To be a Jew. I I feel like I feel like White Boy Summer's coming back, though. Oh, it's a It's coming back in a big way. It's coming back. Oh, it's huge now. It's like It's really like Let's go. Yeah, I feel like Hanks brought us to the new millennia.
I I think it's Clav. You know, Clav really was the he was the harbinger. Like I mean, you know, people were speaking of this, but then whenever he showed up, that's whenever White Boy Summer truly began. That's like I mean for like Jews, right? You got our our top pick, Larry David, and then like and maybe Aiden Ross. I think Aiden Ross is So Aiden So Larry Davis and Aiden Ross are the top right. David, bro, the top juice. Yes. Damn. If I I I did a Jew tier list the other day. Oh, really? And I put them in S tier.
Oh, yeah. They're S tier Jews. I think they were the only ones in S tier. Wow. Yeah. There there were a few like Natalie Portman. I think she's not as relevant as Aiden Ross right now, but she's still I would I would say she's probably like an S tier Jew. She did a lot for the people. Sure. Lot for the tribe. For the tribe. Um but then there's a lot of like really low tier Jews. And then like Yeah, I know. And then that [ __ ] Nick Shirley video didn't help nobody, dude. That was really That was bad.
Then like the Tyler Oliviera video too. Oh, that's the one I meant. Not sorry. I mixed them up. Oh, well I I thought cuz I don't watch their videos frequently. I do. I absolutely Nick Shirley was the one who did the mix. Nick Shirley exposed the Somalian scammers. He was the one. Yeah, I know you like Tyler Liviera. I do. I don't. He went to island. Oh, did he? He did. I'm not a big fan of his content personally. Yeah. I I I don't think he should be like demonetized or anything I think it's [ __ ] hilarious.
Here's the only thing that I don't like about it. Um, you think sometimes he's probably argumentative or aggressive, right? I I just don't like man on the streets content personally because you always get to edit it so you can always have your narrative. But I will say like I I have no idea how much he's overusing it, stuff like that. I don't think anybody should ever be deplatformed personally. I think that like especially like yo Jews I think somebody else is deplatforming people because it makes the Jews look so bad bro. I mean cuz you be honest like it does look really bad whenever you say the Jews control everything and they keep deplatforming anybody who criticizes them and then for that you get deplatformed as a like it it I mean you got to admit it looks kind of bad.
As a Jewish person, I just sometimes go like I am noticing and yes, it's how do you know? But but I know here's here's the thing that sucks, right? When there's a bunch of video of like hidic Jews doing X, Y, and Z. And then I'm just like, imagine if I was just like, yo, dude, I saw an Amish person drink raw milk the other day. Why do you drink so much raw milk? Like it's like kind of [ __ ] Like but yeah like so that stuff kind of bothers me because like I look at hostets and go like it's crazy.
Now I'm not religious at all. Yeah. I celebrate Christmas. You know what I mean? Um I did give a piece of my my my wiener skin to God. I guess I I did the same thing. Yeah. But I didn't have a choice in that [ __ ] Yeah. That just kind of happened. They just do that. I spawned in that way. Yeah. Hit you quick. Yeah. It's real quick. I mean no I I get that. I mean I I don't know. Like I've seen the other one and it looks like, you know, if you don't have that happen, it looks like grave mine from Halo 2.
Like I want to [ __ ] see. That's [ __ ] disgusting, man. No, really. Look at [ __ ] It's the same [ __ ] thing. No, I'm just being honest, right? Yeah. I I don't know. There's all that [ __ ] Have you heard of the Forerunners? The Forerunners Halo or No, there's a group that Foreskin. Yeah. No, there's a group of people where they try to regrow it. Yeah. They're They're pissed. They're like, "I didn't want to make no covenant, brother." They put little weights on it. Pull the [ __ ] back down. I know. And they try to do the thing. Oh my [ __ ] god, dude.
They're out there. And the thing is that apparently it works. Wait, you growing it works? Yes. I've No shot. I I I read this on 4chan 12 years ago. Oh, then it's true. Why would anybody lie all the way back then? Yeah, right. Nobody was lying yet. Dude, I still can't believe that you saved that clip of me screaming goodbye juice. Goodbye juice. Yes, dude. Okay, there I'm getting clips. As soon as the Israel sirens come on, the bomb sirens I play the [ __ ] clip, bro. That [ __ ] was insane, bro. Yes, it was I I was actually dying the amount of text message I got.
You knew you you you knew what you were doing whenever you had no idea. Oh, wow. Wait, what? No, people could use this in the wrong way. Wait, what do you mean? How could that possibly happen to me? I I I seriously I still think that shit's so funny cuz people just called me a Nazi. Like they still come and call me a Nazi. I'm like they will actually call anyone a Nazi. They will. Exactly. Like they will call anyone a [ __ ] Nazi. I've been called this like cuz you know the whole Iran war thing has been happening, right?
I have been called a Jew and a Nazi more in the last two weeks than I have honestly. Actually, I probably get called that a lot, but it's been more recently. it's been a lot. As Goldstein Yeah. As Gold Exactly. Yeah. You knew we never could trust him. Yeah. We always We always knew. We always knew. Yeah. I Dude, it is a little bit of a trip. Yeah. When I wake up every morning and I go, "Oh, I'm gonna see what Zach's doing." And then it's just like missile and you're just like, "Oh, there it is, dude." I'm like, "What the heck is going on?" Sometimes I think to myself, I'm like, "Uh, is this kind of [ __ ] up that I'm like pocket watching a country getting bombed and then I'm like commentating over it like soy face." Like, would I have done this in like, I don't know, Pearl Harbor or something like that?
And I'm like thinking, "Oh yeah, yeah, of course." Oh, bro. I mean, duh. I mean, Bro, can you imagine? That [ __ ] would have been crazy. Watching you watch missiles hit something while playing a voice line of me screaming goodbye Jews. I did go, okay, I am on the wrong side of history. This is Yes. Exactly. But hey, we're making good money. I know. It's Exactly. Yeah. It's like I It's very clear like, okay, I'm being I Okay, I'm kind of the villain here, but man, is this [ __ ] funny. Oh my god. You know, I People want to see it.
Like people do want to watch it. I think the audience got a lot older. I actually like I unironically learn a lot about what's going on from your streams like as far as world events. Yeah. And then I research it myself and I either agree with you or I don't. And so there's a real reason to watch it, you know. I do the same thing except for minus the research part. Well, yeah. You don't have to. You have chat, right? Yeah. I mean, they'll tell me. And there's like there's this AI video and it says that, you know, like I'm right.
So, of course, dude, it's actually crazy how good AI is now. Wait, wait, did you see the thing that came out, though? Which one? That basically says no matter what, AI will always say that you're right. There was like a study that came out that like how much it like overindexes. Oh, yes. Well, I mean, I I didn't I mean, I didn't see a study about that, but like Yeah. Like came out like Princeton or something. Yeah. And basically, it's just like the bias is just making people like just Yeah. Because it makes them like And I think there's a huge problem because people are going to be talking to these AIs all the time.
And there's people that are in like relationships with AIS and like the thing is like chicks do this too. And I'm like what the [ __ ] Like what are you doing? What is this? And I don't understand it at all. I I mean I saw I saw this one Tik Tok that actually had me dying cuz it's like so real. It's like it's like hey like chat GBT I I like cheated on my wife. Like am I wrong? And it's like no you made a bold statement. It's time to choose you. And that is how this [ __ ] talks.
for yourself. Yeah. Yeah. It's like that's that's not a mistake to friend that you can possibly have. Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. Um so I I've never really used AI for anything. Cuz every time that I've used it, it's actually been wrong. Yeah. Like I took a picture of like a bug. Yeah. Cuz I was like, damn, what type of bug is that? I've never seen it before. And it was like get out of the house. It's a bad bug. And then I like took another picture 5 minutes later and it was like it's a common like like it's like some flea or something.
I've had bad experiences with AI overall. I've only had good experiences. I love AI. I use it to look up everything. And uh usually it's right. Which one do you use? Uh Grock. I just use Grock cuz it's on Twitter. Like I also I bought Oh my god. I bought the $250 Gemini package. I did for stream, right? I mean Yeah. And so Yeah, of course. [ __ ] it. And so I had it generate like videos and like [ __ ] uh you know, like pictures of myself and [ __ ] like that. And it was kind of funny, right, to do without Aaron and with with and without.
Right. And so yeah, exactly right. And so I I did try to do that and it went Yeah, I think it went pretty went pretty well. I was watching I love AI the the videos from Seed Story. Is that what it is? Seed Story 2. The video one. Is that what it's called? Seed Story. The Chinese one. Story. You I think you watched was one of the Chinese ones. There was a new one. I think it was Seed Story. Something like that. I don't think that was the name, but I know what you're talking about.
It so [ __ ] cra That one's crazy. Like the actual AI videos that are coming out of that are pretty wild. That was the one that had like Brad Pitt and like Tom Cruz fighting. It was the one that actually had I don't know. I didn't see that one, but I saw the one with Will Smith eating spaghetti and then spaghetti eating Will Smith. What the Oh, cuz you remember how the Yes, I did see that part. And it's like we've we're so past Will Smith eating spaghetti now Spaghetti's eating him. It was like really [ __ ] good.
Yeah. No, that that stuff's been pretty [ __ ] crazy. I feel like this week in or the past two weeks in general just been nuts. Like I've just been so I've been so [ __ ] busy doing that. Like I was playing WoW and did Resident Evil and I think I did one other thing and that was Yeah. I've been I've been streaming like eight [ __ ] hours. It's been wild. Like it's been a lot. Like usually like I'll go offline at like I don't know like [ __ ] seven or something. Dude, you [ __ ] ruined my sleep schedule. Did I really?
Yeah. I'm like oh man I'm going to wait to Dude, do you know what time I go to sleep now? Cuz I always just Dude, I just always wait for you cuz I'm a coward. I want to be live when you're live. Like I haven't done that in 15 years. Like my my So I [ __ ] have been going live at like 8 or some [ __ ] cuz you're streaming so long. And then I've been going to sleep at 4. No, like [ __ ] 7 8. Damn. Damn. You're getting your [ __ ] [ __ ] up, huh? Oh, dude. I'm hella [ __ ] You're [ __ ] up your whole life, bro.

So, okay, dude. It's crazy. Why would you sue McDonald's? Probably just for attention cuz you're not winning, right? Okay. I mean, no. No. You remember with that [ __ ] hot coffee [ __ ] Like there was somebody That was real though. That was crazy. And it did work. And that woman got like [ __ ] uh $80 million or something. There were definitive damages.
I mean, she she got like And also like No, no, no. McDonald's like cuz I used to think that like, oh, this is like an example of like the legal system being bad. No. I looked into it. Absolutely. McDonald's deserved it. They were told multiple times, stop cooking your coffee that high. They never stopped and that's it. That's what they [ __ ] get. it. I remember too when that happened because we were pretty young if I remember correctly. Yeah. We were like teenagers. Yeah. Yeah. It was like And I remember I would go to like Waw Wa.
Yeah. And and stuff and you would watch the people put the lids on coffee after that and it was like they were doing heart surgery like nobody wanted to get serious drinking hot liquid, you know. Um but the grounds Okay. So why why are they suing McDonald's for the McRib? They're saying that the McRib has 100% zero rib in it. And they took it to a lab. And they basically said it's pork heart, cooked stomach, tripe, like intestines, like all that [ __ ] And well, how many did they take in there? Well, McDonald's said is they were like, well, it doesn't have intestines in it and like heart.
And they were like, "It's 100% pork." So, it is 0% rib. There is no rib meat. Well, I mean, if if it has intestines, and that intestines is pork. Well, well, they're saying But they're saying that it doesn't have the intestines, but they are still saying it's 100% pork, and that's all. You know what's stupid? Like, does it taste good? Okay, then [ __ ] eat it, idiot. Well, here's how it's made. I went deep down the rabbit hole saying, "Oh, no." Okay. So, basically what happened, the army invested a shitload of money into finding ways to take meat.
Basically, the army was like, "We need to pay our soldiers or feed our soldiers in a much more cheap way." And what they were doing was they were taking little scraps, shavings of meat, and they invented a thing that's now called meat glue. And what they would do is they would take all the trimmings. Oh, like that pink [ __ ] right? Well, that that is made from it. It's basically now referred to as reshaped meat or reconstituted meat. and they will take anything and you can take big chunks, small chunks, anything. It's actually insane if we have a clip of it.
Like the stuff that you can do with this and it's just meat glue. So, you can take anything and make a loaf of meat. And what McDonald's essentially did there was the army's doing all this technology. All of the studies come out that you should eat less red meat. That's [ __ ] Well, that comes out fake. And then the pork lobby decides to say, "We're the other white meat." And then they pay one of the guys who worked for for the military whose name is Robert Mandingo. He's one of the he's one of the only people who's in the the pork or the meat hall of fame.
And this guy found a way to reconstitute the meat. He wanted to shape it like a pork chop and make the pork chop. McDonald's knew that they were going to get heat for it. They hired a famous French chef and he said, "Fuck that. Let's shape it like a rib. I'm gonna slather it in sauce. We're gonna make it look like it's barbecue. And that's how the M Mc Rib exists. So, it's it's just totally it's like basically reconstituted meat cosplaying as a rib. They and they just shape put pump it into a meat mold and it's like most of what you're eating is like, you know what's really funny is that anybody who didn't think that was the case is [ __ ] Reddit was like 5050 basically being like they're half.
But uh they were basically like I thought that there was at least like a scrap of ribbon there. You know what I mean? I've never even had it. I've never had like a [ __ ] any of that. I've never had a Mc Rib ever in my life. Never. For your pleasure, bro. It's stupid. It's stupid. Like why? I don't want a Mc Rib. I don't want to eat a [ __ ] Mc I don't I don't I've never eaten a chicken sandwich in my life. Wait. Wait. What? It's [ __ ] disgusting. What? I don't want that. I just put the chicken on a plate.
Let me eat the chicken off the plate. That's it. Eight years old. That is the stupidest take you've ever had in your entire life. What the [ __ ] are you talking about? Like, why the [ __ ] would I What do you It's got the mayo, a couple pickles. That's disgusting. Mayo is disgusting. Pickles are [ __ ] disgusting. All I want I want the chicken and I want the dip. That's it. Now, I went and I went to Oh my god, bro. Like I went to Raisin Canes. It's good. I don't know if I'm ever going to go to another chicken place in my life.
That's what I was saying. I was literally saying that Popeye's is worse than Raisin Canes. It's It's Popeye's is good, but Raisin Canes is better. It's not even close. It's so good. It's not even [ __ ] close, man. Like I I drove like 15 minutes to get over there. Honestly, it was the shortest trip of my life. The whole presentation It's just so good. That little bread that soaks up the [ __ ] Oh, [ __ ] That's good chicken. It's delicious. That's really [ __ ] good. We need to uh we need to get a sponsorship for uh for Raisin Games.
Dylan's sponsored by them, bro. [ __ ] man. Really? They Yeah, they like take him to the Super Bowl and [ __ ] Jesus. Every time he throws a party. Like, so like has like Halloween party unlimited raising canes? Holy [ __ ] It's [ __ ] sick. Oh my god. Do you remember whenever we had that for Chipotle? Remember that? Remember that? You know, that was really cool. And then guess what happened? It went away. They took it away from us. And it wasn't your fault. And it was, this is what's crazy is that back then all of the cancellations, all of the problems, all of the brand issues except for that one.
Uh, all of those were never my fault, which came back to bite us in the ass the other day. I'm just going to say it. I hope this doesn't get us in trouble. Let them know. I'm not going to say, but basically, there was like a game that I wanted to like do some stuff with. Yes. And we're literally we're doing like a little email. We're going back and forth and they basically were just like, "Nah, [ __ ] Zach." Basically, and I look at the name. It's our homie who you [ __ ] over with the head with with with what I just said.
They was wrong. And the thing is that, think about like this. Tell them this. You tell them this. He has an eye for quality. And he cares about it so much that he would not use your piece of [ __ ] not use your piece of [ __ ] that nobody wanted. It was a piece of choice. He just works in 90 different You gave me 10 different versions of it. They were all bad. And guess what? I didn't want to use it. But now you don't want to work with me when I want to work with you. Even though I have proven that I have integrity.
You have an eye for quality. Integrity. That's quality. That's asthma gold, dude. That's what they say. Exactly. And and all he had to do was just say that. And I I had, you remember, I had like 10 different other solutions and they would not accept a single one of them. They wanted that one [ __ ] thing cuz they're trying to make money, bro. I don't give a [ __ ] And they gave us a lot of money, bro. They gave us a lot of money. [ __ ] them. [ __ ] them. You know who else gave us a lot of money?
Who? Poly Market. Hey, pretty excited, too, because now we have our first official partner on the podcast market finally. Yeah, it's about right. Well, dude, it takes a lot longer to actually get the partnerships when all you care about is getting free t-shirts. It's actually a hoodie. And I think that the guy came by today while I was live and I just ignored the donor. I did. And I think that he was like sitting there pissed off and then he left. And so, yeah, I'll have to go. No, the thing is that they said I I remember cuz I saw Nick Shirley got a hoodie and I was like, I want a hoodie.
I want one of these. And so I like it was one of the because you know like if you want me to sign up for something and it'll usually takes like three to five business months, right, in order for me to do something like this one. I did it immediately. And so apparently I might have [ __ ] it up already. Bro, we were we're waiting to talk to Poly Market. This has been in the works for a long time. We're obviously on Poly Market all the time. You're pulling it up on stream. Like I'm on it all the time.
I literally make my life decisions off of it. All excited for this call. Poly Market's talking about all of these cool ideas that they have, all of these things you and you're just like, "Dude, tell me about that that hoodie, though. Tell me about that [ __ ] hoodie." And you just kept talking. And then they said they had they said I had a new one, too. There's a new one that's going to be coming out. I'm going to get that one, too. Right. So, it's not just that. It's like It's also the new one. I got a shirt.
I get everything. Like, because that that's going to get me covered for like maybe the next month or so. We should we should have something on Poly Market for how many days you'll wear the shirt before. Okay. So So I actually wore the same shirt on purpose for 2 weeks for continuity for my Resident Evil 9 playthrough. Oh, that's why you're doing it. I was doing it for the fans. You're doing it for the people, dude. I was doing it for the fans. I thought I thought it would be best for like my editors, for the viewing experience, everything like that.
So I'm like, "Okay, I'm going to do it for the same way every single day." Cuz that's your Resident Evil shirt. Uh yes. Yes. Exactly. Uh, I guess so. Okay. So, are we gonna look at these? All right. Let's look at this. So, you saw you saw the alien one, right? Okay. So, okay. We're looking at all of the top stuff that's going on on Poly Market. And I'm all excited. I'm like, "Yeah, let's talk. We're going to talk about oil and I just watched Land Man, so I was excited about that. And then I see like number three on Poly Market at the time of us recording right now is literally will the US confirm that aliens exist before 2027?" and you go, "Oh, yeah, it's huge right now.
I haven't heard anything about it." So, okay. So, like Obama, like President Obama said on a podcast, he was like, "Yeah, uh, there's some stuff with aliens." And he like kind of leaked a little bit of confidential information. He didn't say anything obviously like, "Oh, yeah, there are aliens who then some guy." And so, uh, basically that happened. Then Trump comes in later on. He's on interview on the on his airplane and they're like, "Yeah, Obama shouldn't have said that. Uh, I know a lot of people are talking about aliens now. I guess we're going to have to let let information out.
That was it. They were just like, "Yeah, okay, fine. Sure." So, it's looking like there might be aliens. Now, 16%. Nope. I'd say six. I'd say 1.6 is actually more likely. Well, well, here's really I mean, let let's be honest here. Like they probably don't actually know if there's [ __ ] aliens or not. Yo, you know what I will say though? This says aliens. It doesn't say it doesn't say intelligent life. Uh yeah, but I mean like it doesn't have to be intelligent life. I have a really screwed up joke to make, but I'm not going to make it in the sponsored segment.
What I am going to say, what does it say? This market will resolve to yes if president of the United States, any member of the United States cabinet, any member of joint chiefs of staff or any US federal agency definitively states that extraterrestrial life or technology exists by the end of the year. So it could be a single cell. That's correct. That I No, no, but like No, there's there should be a caveat to this that uh also because there are extraterrestrial lives like life out there because it's like residue and molecules from taking it out of Earth, right?
From like on the side, right? So like that does not that should not count. Everybody knows that like like somebody who [ __ ] in a bag and left it on the moon because that's actually what they do when they take [ __ ] to the moon. That doesn't count. So yes. Okay, so that doesn't count. But like actual real 100% bonafide definitive actual [ __ ] aliens. Yes. Uh I I I think it's very unlikely they announce it. Well, you know the whole pangi sperm sperma theory or whatever it is. Pangia sperma. No, I don't know. I might I might have just made that [ __ ] up, but it No, I think Can you Google that?
I think it's called pangi sperma. It there's basically this idea that there were a bunch of like there's life started somewhere. Yeah, panspermia. I was close. Panspermia. Sounds like a disorder. Well, B. Yeah. Yeah, dude. Oh, man. My prostate's enlarged and I have panspermia. Oh god. Oh, the idea essentially is that there are a bunch of microorganisms in a whole bunch of different places and asteroids brought the building blocks of life to Earth. This is very common. It's a very common theory and it's not that out there. Yeah. Yeah. No, that's not that's not too crazy at all.
But there I feel like there's a lot of chances that Do you think that aliens exist? I I so I pretty much do. 99.9% chance they exist. Like it's almost inevitable like with how many [ __ ] planets and solar systems there are. Yeah. There's going to be [ __ ] aliens somewhere, right? Do you know how they look for it now? It's actually pretty cool with that new telescope. No. So like here here's one of the reasons why it doesn't work is cuz obviously we're thinking about alien life really resembling life the way that we do it. But they look for certain compounds that we know are only byproducts of humans.
And they can actually see in the atmosphere by the way that light is refracting in the telescope what compounds are making up the atmosphere. So So we're kind of like looking looking at different places. So they're trying to like basically okay life is created by like these different molecules and so if these molecules are not present via light you know like uh light signals then there's no life. Yeah. Yeah. Like there's like certain carbon compounds that you just don't expect to see and then they refract light in certain ways. So when you see in the telescope it's like, "Oh, holy [ __ ] There's a real chance of life here." So that they're doing like a lot of cool stuff with that.
Now they can't confirm life on it. Do you think that 16% is accurate to actually confirm? I think that's way overvalued. I do. I think that like they are so high on Copium. That is insane. I don't think I think with the new telescope that 15%'s kind of reasonable. I Dude, dude, but the thing is though is like this caveat is that it's the US confirming it. Okay, so that narrows it down a lot. Like if the Russian government confirms it or China confirms it or Israel confirms it, uh then I don't think this would count.
We own space, bro. Really? Yeah. Like, are you kidding me? Like, we Nobody else is paying us to [ __ ] sp that literally random US citizens were like, "Let's just send 10 women to space for fun this Tuesday." Was that Didn't they send Katie Perry to space? Yeah, just cuz. Just cuz, bro. And then she brought a flower with her. Like, I I'm just saying straight up. I actually think 15% could potentially even be too low. I think that 2% is too high. Ah, no. I I I hard disagree there. All right, we're going to find out.
We got at the end of the year. We got to We got to list all of these out o over the year. Every single week, we will find tracker. Yes. Yes. Who's right? I'm going against you on this one. I'm going to say that it's going to happen. Now, I think it's a risk, but I'm doing it. All right. Well, thank you Poly Market for giving us a new thing to argue about and fight about. Thank you. Yeah, we getting really tired of arguing about World of Warcraft. Trust me, I was too. All right. Thank you, guys.
So, you do it. You do it. No. Okay. So, uh we have we we have a guest. We have a guest. Fee is here. Hello, Fandy. Welcome to the show. Hello. And uh yeah, absolutely. Dude, Fandy is like one of the only people that is on Twitch that I still talk to. Really? She's played more Wo Wild than both of us. She has. But she's also the reason that the game's [ __ ] destroyed. It's all my fault. How many trees did you buy? Two. So, what is this tree situation? Um, Blizzard released like a a bundle of decor for Hearthsteel, which is their new currency.
What's So, this is just like fake [ __ ] internet money. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Fake. Okay. It's another fake internet money currency. Got it. I mean, I I wailed and bought it. So, Okay. So, like wailed out like what is that in this game? Is it like like $20? It was 25 for the bundle and you got one. Yeah, I got two. Okay. So, 50 bucks. Yeah. Wow. So, but look at it this way. You pay for your sub. I don't pay for my sub. Who pays for your sub? One of my mods. He works at Blizzard.
He gives me a sub for my birthday every year. Bro, we [ __ ] up. Rolling boy. Yeah, that's crazy. Wow. You're really lucky. How about that? That's great. Whoa, man. Dude, you know what's screwed up? My They didn't cancel my [ __ ] for years. I was still getting my Blizzard employee sub. And for midnight it ended. Wait, so they took it away from you? They Yeah, I think it I think it like lasts like 10 years from when you get the email and then they renew it. And so I So they didn't renew you? That's [ __ ] up, man.
I haven't worked there in like 10 years. Still [ __ ] up. Done that. Yeah. Yeah. Give it back. So So like the housing system, you like the housing system. I mean like they're meant for the system's meant for it's meant for you, right? And so like Yeah. How is it? I I think they've done a really good job as far as like housing and games go. Like Final Fantasy 14 I think was who did it best before then. How much did you play that at all? Final Fantasy 14 Shadowlands. I played Oh wow. Only played it.
Only gay people play Final Fantasy 14. Yeah, that's why you finished it. I love that game. It's great. It's a great game. Just me and Sneo hanging out. Yeah. Yeah. You did play like a little You didn't raid in 14 though, right? Okay. The the rating is actually like quite good. I think Final Fantasy is unique though where you can completely play it as an RPG. Yeah. And it's a it's just a solid RPG. Like uh Elder Scrolls Online was like that too. Like I liked it, but like again I think that during Shadowlands like that expansion was I mean you remember right?
Like this was like this was straight up like we were in the Shadowlands, right? Like we were in the [ __ ] mall like it was purgatory level like limbo [ __ ] where like nothing was happening. I remember running around in Cora and like it was this sad music and like everything was bad. It's a bunch of reskinned mobs. And it's like, oh my god, I have to find another corrupted trash can to loot a reskin of something that I have five of. And it's like, okay, this happened. And finally, then I moved over to Final Fantasy. It was amazing.
I loved it. And then I don't know, I think I just stopped playing it or something. Well, you stopped streaming for a while. I stopped streaming and then New World came out. New World came out and then I ruined my life over New World. Yeah. And then it ruin it ruined its own life in the end. New World. The thing is that I was right about everything when I said New World was bad. The developers wouldn't listen to me. The players wouldn't listen to me. Nobody would listen to me. And the game's dead. That's right.
I'm not surprised that that one died. I'm really not. But I remember the last time I think this might have been the last time that we did a dungeon together maybe was in Shadowlands. And I remember I pushed a button. It was like my covenant ability and it just deleted everything. You played a hunter, right? Yeah. And I had What was it? The spirits? Yeah. And it just killed everything. That [ __ ] was insane. And we're like, "Wait, what the [ __ ] just happened?" Cuz we didn't know how broken it was yet. It was like our first dungeon of the We were doing toast after all last time.
Toggast. I remember the three of us did toast together. That might have that that actually I feel like that was still in the beta. That might have actually been in the beta. You remember it was really good whenever it came out originally like on the beta. I thought like to gas was really fun when you only had to play it one time. The the issue was it wasn't a good rogike. Yeah. Because there weren't unique builds. All the things that make rogue likes fun didn't then you had to kill every mob like having to kill every like I hate that dude.
Oh my god. Yeah. The biggest problem with WoW right now not to get into this and Fanny you might disagree because you play it more than both of us now. Um, even though you're in your house with McConnell like doing like just interior decorators, watching McConnell's Wow streams like dude, he's just in the church. Really? What church? He built a You didn't go to his church? No, I've never What? Dude, you got to be nice to the guy and go to his church. Really? I've Oh, no. You haven't checked out any of the housing? I've only Okay, so I I bought it.
So, okay. So, I go in there and it's like my guild, like the guild housing unit, right? And I look around and every plot is taken. So I have to go into like the section 8 level. I'm the guild master and I'm sitting here in the [ __ ] trailer park and they're like, "Oh, every house is open." I'm like, "Yeah, of course it is because this place is a [ __ ] hole. Nobody's here." And so I had to make my house and I think that there's like a TV in it with like a sofa and a bed and that's it.
And there's a chair in front of the TV. Wait, so you didn't That's it. After everything that McConnell does for you. Everything that that man has done for you. You couldn't do the one thing that he cared about and just go to his [ __ ] church. I didn't know that it was happening. DUDE, HE ASKED YOU. I WATCHED THE [ __ ] STREAMS. YOU LIAR. He literally goes, "Will you go to my church?" You go, "Yeah, dude. At the end of stream, it's going to be cinema." I forgot. I forgot. That's what happens. It's life. Okay. What happened, you know?
Yes. Or McConnell, bro. Yes. Okay. Maybe. All right. If I'm going to do mythic dungeons this week, right? I'm going to have to do them. And so if I do, then maybe I can start it inside of his church. I can like ahead of time log in and then or maybe he can invite me as soon as I Oh, that'd be a good idea. Yeah. Like if I as soon as I log in, he'll invite me and then invite me to the church and react to it raw. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. I think that'd be a better idea.
Yeah, definitely. I go into FY's house on the day that it comes out and I'm like checking it all out and I lie down on the bed and I look up and she's got painting of Zat on the [ __ ] ceiling. Yep. You [ __ ] baldled out on that [ __ ] I did. How long did it take you to make the house? I've spent like six hours on it or something. That's actually not that bad. Yeah, it's really not so bad. It's pretty intuitive. Yeah. For like building. Like I was surprised. I I saw somebody build my room.
Like I did. see that? I was like like and I looked at it and I was like this is actually insanely [ __ ] good. This is accurate too. Like what the [ __ ] is this? And I'm looking at everything and it's like you know I cuz I I found out that it was the video that I took before I went to BlizzCon for the first year cuz like basically my entire room was a mess. There was mold everywhere. There was garbage everywhere. And I was like do I want to clean this up? No. I'm going to fly to California.
That was out of sight, out of mind. 2017. Oh 2017. That's whenever we went there. Yeah. For And then they announced BFA and Classic. And Oh, yeah. Oh, I remember they told us in the hallway and you [ __ ] ran around like a maniac in a circle. Yes, I did. Oh, man. That was a good I could not [ __ ] believe it cuz like I thought at that point it was dead. I thought there was no way that's classic. Yeah. Oh, man. And did I ever tell you the story that about Did I tell this on the podcast already?
The story about the sponsor. Which one? when Okay. So, we got sponsored Yeah. by uh Wowhead for the podcast originally for this podcast and it was one of the first times I ever had you on a business call that I was on like a business call together. It was like right when we started working together. I don't know if I already told the story on the podcast. I don't think so. Okay. So, we're going through we're doing all of it. Yeah. And they are just so generous, so incredible, so awesome to work with. They give us a really good offer, everything.
And at the very end of the call, Zach goes, "No, double just out of [ __ ] nowhere." And the nicest lady in the entire [ __ ] world goes, "Yeah, sure." And I And I That's right. And I go, "Oh, [ __ ] We're screwed forever now. Zach thinks he can just do this." But this is the funniest thing. She didn't just give us double the She gave us double the responsibilities. It was only one thing that we had to do. Yes. And we were already going to do it, but we had to now we had to do two of the signings for with the autographs and part we had to go in and check out the party.
And we go in to check out the party. Oh, that's when they brought me up on stage. This is that's the second No, that's the second night. This I've heard this one before. No, the first the the first night. The second night we went up on the stage. That was already in. But then the other time we go in, we walk in, we're in the hotel, and you you're sitting there, you're wearing a pair of Mario pajamas with shorts over it, the army t-shirt, a hoodie, and you're holding your Dr. Pepper in in the cup, and you literally the first thing you said to me is the first time we see each other in person.
You go, "Yo, rape my mugg, dude." Yeah. The first thing that's the first thing you said to me in the real world, bro. We had known each other at that point for like 2 years or something like that. Online. It's even worse than it is now. He said, "Rave my m, dude." Then we go into we go into the party after you you could not sign [ __ ] for the life of you. I can't write for [ __ ] Me and Hotted are like [ __ ] signing like 50 of them for every one you're signing because they wanted to talk to me about Yeah.
They didn't care about they were like, "Hey man, what do you think about what do you think they're going to announce at Bliss?" I'm like, "I don't know, man." And like, yeah. And it's like, "Well, when do you think it's going to when are they going to add a classic?" I'm like, I don't know. You know, we'll have to see. The best part is we literally were never supposed to be on a BlizzCon stage and we got hooked up by this one guy who I stay in touch with now. And like half of Blizzard was like, "Why the [ __ ] are they up on this stage?
They were mad about that. They were They were real mad." And uh [ __ ] them bad. [ __ ] But But we walk into this one party and we're chilling and then all of a sudden like everybody's like having fun and then sup y'all. It's me. And everybody just starts like [ __ ] twerking and [ __ ] And you look at me and you go, "I'm gonna go take a nap, dude." And we That was Okay. So, I remember that very clearly. That was the day I met my, you know, at this point ex-girlfriend Izzy, you know, pink sparkles, right? And so, yes.
And so, that was the day I met her. Oh, we went to Taco Bell. That's right. I met her. I took her to Taco Bell and it was live on stream. And this fat guy takes his shirt off and he puts his stomach cuz she's sitting there and then I'm sitting there and he puts his stomach right next to her [ __ ] face. He's like, "Aspen, sign my tits." And I'm like, "Oh god, [ __ ] Were we all there? Were you there, too during that one?" Cuz I I know I was at that Blisscon, but I don't think I had met you guys yet.
I think the first time I met you was at South by Southwest and I was like, "Oh, look at my phone background picture." Yes, I remember that very is that the South by with train that train was that too that I That was 2018. There's no way that's the first time I met you. Yeah, I think so. IRL. Yeah, it was Oh, okay. Cuz Well, you guys have known each other longer than I've known you guys. I've known Fandy, but like I think that like I think we met at probably about the same time. Probably like 16 2017.
Well, we were both at that South by and and Dennis was there too. I remember it was like our 10 people there. Y uh Chance was there. Yeah, Chance was there. David was there. David was there. That's what it that was the first time I I met David. That was just it was a crazy fun night. I I will say though after that I was like I never want to go to Southby again because the the we had gone to the Southby the year before cuz I hosted it with Alana Pierce and you and SAN met me and we did the IRL stream and that's the time that the guy in the stretch Hummer pulled out the gun and then you grabbed the gun and like we were fine.
And then the the time after that when we were all hanging out, I got split up from everybody and somebody screamed shooter and I got like trampled on and I was just like I'm never going to Southby ever again. That's what happens. Like it it like downtown Austin is like a PVP server. It really is. Yeah. It's so bad. Like I I feel like every single weekend somebody either gets shot, beat up, or the police are called and there's like a big altercation. Right. The only thing that's like crazier at this point than that is some of the content on Twitch.
Did you hear that somebody gave birth on stream? I did hear that. That's crazy. Imagine doing that. Wow. That's insane. So, any point were you like I wonder like if like there's a god, what he thinks about this. I do know about like halfway through I was like, I [ __ ] up. What am I doing? Oh my god. Bro, so you were like having like secondhand thoughts and it's like Yeah, because I had to do with no like pain medication at all. so I did like hard mode, but you were also doing it like in a you were like in a hot tub.
Yeah. Well, that that's the way that that's the way they used to do birthing like from for like 2,000 years or something as far as I know. [ __ ] scary though. they was just so I'm like chilling, minding my own business. Not I haven't paid attention to Twitch in [ __ ] years and you know I like I'll check in to see how FY is doing. Yeah, like and I just hear Mia, honey, honey, Fanty's giving birth on stream. And I sat there next to Mia Malova just what the [ __ ] We watched the whole [ __ ] thing. So confused.
And and we were we literally we were legitimately I was like I don't know how I top this. It's like if I because at this point I think I already was like I'm probably going to come back. I was like maybe I get a vasectomy on stream or something like that. So, what what was going through your [ __ ] head, though? Uh, I want to be honest, like towards the end of it, I had to completely just lock in and forget there were cameras there cuz it's a very like a it's a very intense experience. And if I was if I was just worried about like cameras and chat and stuff, like I don't think I would have been able to like do it, you know?
Can I ask a weird question? You know how they say like push Is it like You know how like sometimes when you have to take a [ __ ] and no matter what you're going to [ __ ] Is it like that or or do you actually have to do anything? No, you you have to push. What happens if you don't? I don't know then. Like what happens if you don't? What if you just don't do it? Cuz like you're can't you you cannot convince me that you can just be like nah like I'm going to keep it. Yeah.
Right. So, I don't know. I I think that they go into distress if that happens and then they would like transport you. Yeah. You have to get like a C-section probably. I had like measures in in place that like if I needed to be transported like something went wrong that that was in place cuz I wanted to make sure I was like low risk. You could go back cuz that could be like that could be crazy. You had like a bunch of like your friends there too. Yeah. There was like six people there. Does that make it like less nerve-wracking or more stressful?
Because I think more stressful. Yeah, I found it comforting. Honestly, I thought chat was kind of comforting too, especially because I saw Esan in chat being like longest character select ever, you know? Like it was just it was kind of nice being able to like see people in there like cheering me on. Sans's going to ban the baby before it's even born. Also, his commentary during that, I watched it after and it was hilarious. So, oh my god. Yeah, I remember people were doing a watch party for you giving birth. I was like, "Bro, what the fuck?" Did they watch it, too?
They watched our Oh my god. Oh, that was during the Subathon. That's right. Yeah, I forgot about that. Yeah, they were just [ __ ] chilling watching. Is it weirder that like people that you don't know watched or people that you know watched? [ __ ] I mean, I don't I don't know. I don't think it's weird at all to be honest. I would have done it. I think otherwise Dan Clancy didn't think it was weird either. I saw him like in chat. Was he? No, good luck. He gave me good luck. Wow. Did he gift something too? I he did something.
I saw something in chat with him which I just thought was like I was like damn, dude. That's crazy. But you can't top it now. No. Nope. That's a pretty hard one to That's like Is that rough? Are you like damn knowing you've already peaked? Yeah. Are you like are you actively like, "Oh man, like I got to go into the suicide forest like Logan Paul, right? Like you got to take it to the next level. Are you just like able to do it? Are you just happy that I'm I'm happy. I'm also kind of like semi-retired from streaming anyway." So yeah, dude.
You stream. I feel like I see you all the time streaming. Wild, man. I think you see me on Battleet. I'm not really streaming that much. So what do you do now? I just take care of the baby, hang out with me. You just chill. Just do whatever the [ __ ] Damn. That's got to be cool, though. What's it like not streaming all the time? cuz like you've been streaming like non-stop for like like eight or nine years. 11 years. Oh my god. She's been streaming longer than both of us. Um it's been kind of nice cuz honestly Twitch now is just like such a different beast than it was when I started that it I don't know.
I'm kind of like over it. I don't know if I've like if I'm like aging out of like the Twitch thing or not, but I don't really like get the same feeling when I go live. So, I'm kind of just enjoying my time with her because they're they grow very fast. She's like she's really big. She's like 97 percentile orange parsing baby, you know? That's actually really good. Yeah, dude. Yeah. So, I'm just enjoying that. That's like the most important stuff. I I mean, it does definitely feel different. I I remember like we were all legit friends at the at least I thought, right?
I thought I thought wrong. At least I thought I mean I mean I I thought I really thought they were like I have so many memories of like Do you remember that one time when we got all the cans and stacked them up to see to cuz I was trying to prove that your height? Yeah. Oh my god, I remember this. But then we measured them and we didn't include the recesses in the cans. Oh, so they thought that you were like what like 53 or something? Say I was like 4t tall or something. I was crazy.
And I was like, "Look, I'm standing next to Fandy right now." And just like like manlit and gir lit. Like they're just like making fun of us. That was Oh, man. Good times. Kitchen streams. You guys were doing Scufed. Oh, we were doing that every single weekend. I remember that. Yeah, that was so [ __ ] funny. And it's like, do you remember whenever Train rented out that one place and then everybody was [ __ ] around? Oh my god, that was funny. There was like maybe 15 people there, too. Dude, I just remember like I remember like the first time even hearing about train was like, "Yeah, this dude's just a menace and raided battleground." So So basically we he rented out this one place.
It was a kitchen and like Greek and Chance show up like an hour late and they're so [ __ ] high. They're like putting their hands all over the whiteboard and they were doing this stuff and they were just like talking while Train was talking and I remember like you were there and then the reason why I remember this day so well is that we went we got Mexican food afterwards and then as soon as that happened I broke one of my teeth on the chips. And I was like guys I've got to go home. And they're like why?
I'm like I don't know. And then I just like I cut it with the pliers and I broke it off. That was the time. That was one of the times. It's been three times. Damn, bro. That was the most recent time, though. And so, I remember that day all too well. And uh yeah, that was like It's crazy to think because like somebody posted a clip from like around that time today on my stream. And I was like, "Holy [ __ ] that was almost 10 years ago. Isn't that insane?" I remember the first day of OTK.
We did the cooking stream on Sans stream and you came over. Yeah. And that like I just remember so many good days. I remember I remember Fandy I think you told somebody that after that stream you got like 300 only fan subs. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I thought. Crazy. I remember that was a crazy day. Somebody somebody in OTK was like, "Dude, Rich, you got to stop making all these jokes with Fandy." I was like, "What are you talking about making Fandy a [ __ ] ton of money?" Cuz we we were on a team together and I remember at the end you literally were sitting there showing me and we're like, "Hell yeah, dude.
when you were squirting the water on her. I remember, oh, is that what I was doing? People were like really mad on my behalf and I was like, yeah, in OTK, I was like, dude, I've known Fandy at this point for like 5 years. Like, trust me, I know very well what we're doing. Like, this is like my like seriously, I mean, you you were always one of my closest friends on Twitch. It was like the two of you. Um, it's got to be somebody, right? I I'm trying to think who else I really spent like a lot of time talking to on Twitch.
I mean, MC McConnell was always the homie. McConnell would literally go live, get a bunch of viewers just to raid me. I know. I remember that. Yeah. [ __ ] insane. He did the same thing for SFAN, too. I would do anything for him, dude. I I really [ __ ] would. Um, but like I think about all of the [ __ ] streams that we did together and they're just such good times. That's it's so insane that like cuz I watch some of the younger streamers now and I see them doing the same stuff and my favorite thing this is going to sound awful is watching them go down the same drama paths that we did watching this and I I see it happening.
I'm like, "Oh, here we go." Do you ever watch her? The thing is that like everybody hates Rakai. I love that kid. And like the thing is I'm like, "Man, you guys should have seen me when I was 17." Like I was really really I was I was worse than him. Dude, I would I would love to have Rakai on the podcast and just we don't even have to say anything. Nobody says anything. We just let him go. Just go, dude. That was like I remember God this was like I guess it would have been Kai.
I'm trying to think of anyone. It was Kai and Aiden. They were like kind of like that was the generation after us on Twitch. Uh well like I don't really know. I'd think about like so the generation after us like for me really I would say the generation after me was like kind of like Miz and them because he he got popular maybe like a year and a half two years like after I started like really getting popular. He's still like old school pogers though. Oh, no. No, definitely. But then like Aiden Ross got popular in like 2020, 2021 and then like he started popping off and then a few other people came up and that's whenever Kai Bruce dropped him off and all them came out and then after that I feel like the next like kind of wave but it was almost like an intermediary was Jinxy.
And then Pirate Software like Queso Pirate Software was like the He was like the like are we going back to like old school [ __ ] Yeah. Exactly. They're like, "No, we're not." And then absolutely not. And then Queso. And then I I guess Queso is like kind of Oh, and then Burnt Peanut. But Burnt Burnt Peanut is a cycle, bro. I just think he's the best version of the cycle ever. There's always that one guy on Twitch who's like super character like uh like Dr. Disrespect. Yeah. But then there's other there's been other people too that have even done like like stuff like that, right?
I mean like the I I think Bert Peanut though like dude he's getting so much like random hate now. That's when you know you made They get so mad. They're like they call he's from Israel. Like what the [ __ ] are you talking about? Like what do you mean he's from Israel? What does that even mean? And like then they're they're saying oh he's viewing. Oh look at his eyes. I can tell by his eyes that he's fat. I can tell. Oh look at his oh he's so fat. Look at him. Oh man. That's why he doesn't want to use a camera because he will know that he's fat.
It's crazy. They're getting mad over nothing. And oh, he's viewing jealousy, bro. It's pure jealousy. Hoes mad 100%. I don't understand what the [ __ ] is wrong with them. But you know who's not mad? God. Because the faithful sheriff has arrived. this. Okay. So, this guy like Okay, so you're telling me this is the guy that tried to groom religiously, religiously convert eight-year-olds on Fortnite. Now he's doing it on Arc Raiders. No, I think he's Oh, is he on Arc Raiders now? I don't know. I just it was a new game. Yeah, it's probably a mix of like both cuz Okay, he was he started as Dr.
Witnesser. Which, you know, goes back to that cycle. He just copied Dr. Disrespect. Now he rebranded and he's the faithful sheriff. He's a peanut. He says all of the [ __ ] that uh Bert Peanut says. He's like like uh Goop or whatever the [ __ ] the kids are saying. And then and but he actually says it to kids. Uhhuh. And then he's like, "Mind if I tell you about the Bible?" Hi, Dillio. And he like tries to get him to It's wild. Oh, it's like a that's like a Great Value burnt peanut or Dr. Disrespect, right? And it's like for a religious thing.
Oh my god. You know what it reminds me of? It's like the the porno knockoffs of like movies. You know, but it's like instead of that, it's like religion. I watched a clip of him call a child an agent of Satan. Was he right? I mean, dude. I mean, the kid some kind of are like Yeah. Yeah. What was the kid doing? Like, yeah. I'm not sure I'm against them on this. So, when you know that there's people like that running around in video Are you going to let your kids play video games? It works for you, but I think that like my I have a 15-year-old.
She plays like Roblox and which is I've been seeing some weird stuff about Roblox, but yeah. Isn't Roblox like um it was like there's a lot of predators on there apparently. Uh yeah, actually about that. I I if I ever had a kid, I would simply let my kid go on any website they wanted, do anything they wanted to do, and I would say, "If you've got any questions, just ask." Spoken. Spoken like somebody who's not planning on having like are do you know how bad it will be when my kids get access to the internet?
Oh. Oh my Oh my god. Their mother is Mia Malova and their their godfathers as mine comp. Like what the [ __ ] Oh no. That's bad. It's real bad. Oh man, dude. I I straight up I have this idea. Mia thinks I'm crazy. What I want to do one day when we have kids, I want to completely isolate them from reality. And I want to swear I saw a True Charm documentary on this. I'm telling you, this is a good idea. They're going to be happier for it. Oh, good. I'm going to slowly introduce games to them in the order that they were introduced to me and came out, right?
So, they're going to get a Super Nintendo for Christmas one year, And they're going to play that for a year and they're not going to know that there's anything else out there and they're going to [ __ ] love that [ __ ] Then I'm going to get them the N64 with a little portable PlayStation, you know what I mean? Like, just kind of get that [ __ ] in there and then they'll play WoW on a private server, you know? They'll be in a Halo lobby, you know, and I'll like I'll hide in the other room. I'll just like say random slurs so it feels authentic, you know?
I think that that's a better way to live. You get to experience the full gamut. I would just I honestly like I would hot drop my kid onto the internet completely unsupervised. Or not unsupervised, but unrestricted. But yeah, do whatever you want to do. Like, oh, you're watching an ice. Yeah, I remember I used to watch those. Yeah. No, it's real. Yeah, I know. That's what Yeah. Don't do that in real life. You'll get in a lot of tr. It's gonna be a huge problem for me. So, don't do that with your friend. Okay. Bro, I I mean, like, do you So, you've already been through it the one time.
But do you think that now the internet's changed, so you have to change how they interact with the internet? Because you got time to figure it out, though, obviously. Well, she she's like pretty good. Like, I've I've given her like the talks and whatnot. Um, so I don't supervise her overlay, but I do like occasionally check in to make sure she's not cuz Yeah, but think about it's when you're like a young girl on online, it could be very easy for somebody to when she was first like when she was super young though, like social media wasn't as big 15 years ago.
Right now I'm assuming that like every kid probably has a cell phone. Oh yeah. Like like I Yeah. like prevent your kid from being an iPad kid, which I feel like is like impossible. Like I feel like it's definitely hard. not if you just parent. that's a whole another thing. Sounds hard to me. Yeah. Yeah. I mean I guess I mean like to me I would just like my my dad's friend has a like they has like a grandson and his grandson's like seven and the way that he deals with it is he just gives the grandson like a BB gun or an air gun and he's like here you can play with that and you can go outside.
You can play Fortnite. you can go do it in real life. And like that the kid actually will do it. He just Yeah. And he just he doesn't give a [ __ ] man. Like this kid's riding his scooter around in the house. He's got a gun out. He's got a [ __ ] knife. He's 7 years old. And the thing is he'd be running around and my dad and like his friend would just be like, "Yeah, there he is." I mean, that's kind of sick though. I'd rather see a kid be in the real world than just terminally online.
Yeah. I know. That's it. Like a lot of we got a lot of joy out of the internet, but like when I sit down, I actually think about the good memories. It's like, oh, you remember that time we were in the real world together cuz we met on the internet. I don't know if that happens the same amount that it used to. Like I have a lot of really good friendships because of the internet. But now I feel like that may maybe when you get older you just get more pessimistic too cuz it's like I don't have like you know I I don't know anyone who's like under the age of 30.
I feel like at this point really I Yeah. Who am I hanging out with? I don't really like I mean I don't even really think about it honestly. Like I I I guess I probably that's probably true for me too if I have to think about it. Maybe a couple of people in their upper 20s but like other than that like yeah not really a whole lot which I think is kind of normal. I mean like you think about like whenever like I'm 3 [ __ ] 35 so yeah it's bad. Real bad. And so, uh, like if I like I mean 15 years ago I was 20.
That's [ __ ] insane. That is wild. Like that's crazy. And so like when I remember when I was 20, would I be able to like really [ __ ] relate to a 35year-old? Like I mean in my Wow Guild. Yeah, sure. Right. But like not in terms of like a you know a holistic way. There were a lot of people career-wise that I could um Yeah, it's different. But like like when I was like when I was like working at uh Activision Blizzard and stuff like that I chill with a lot of people who were older, but there was no one really younger there, right?
So it was like you're kind of in that cut of life, you know, like post like I guess it's like what you really start working after college or after high school depends. Yeah. So yeah, I I like think about it now and everybody who I'm interacting with is in that stage of life. Yeah. So, like when I think about what it's like to be younger, I'm thinking about like clvicular clips. That's just what the world's like. This is one thing that got me [ __ ] up is I remember whenever Aiden Ross was getting popular and I was like, dude, he's doing what I'm doing and like hanging out with their friends.
I'm like, wait a minute. I'm doing I did that 10 years ago. Oh my god. Right. I was like, "Oh no, it really been this long." I was so upset. Sy's like talking about like, yeah, like I've changed how I'm streaming, like my life's doing. Do you think you'll ever change what I'm doing with my stream? I've changed it a lot. Like I I I went through like Okay, that's true. Yes. Like I've gone through like you think about it. Originally I did YouTube. Well, originally I was doing nothing. I was literally a neat. I was living in my house.
I was collecting food stamps. I was doing everything that I could possibly do to never have to get a job. That was always my goal in life. Never get a job. Never work, never do anything, always play video games, and [ __ ] everybody. And so that's all it was. And then eventually that stopped working cuz I needed money. And so I worked at the IRS for a couple of years. And then I I was doing YouTube and I did WoW videos. And then, you know, I did WoW streams. And then that went really well. saw that in Dark Souls.
That was Oh my god, that turned you into a Nazi. Yeah, apparently it did. I didn't know that. I've just learned that about myself recently. Yeah, me too. And so, yes. And so, uh, dude, I I've given you [ __ ] for this in the past. I was so [ __ ] annoyed during the Dark Soul times. Cuz we'd be [ __ ] doing [ __ ] And I'd look at your eyes and I was like, this [ __ ] he's playing your eyebrows be [ __ ] doing this [ __ ] And we doing we doing the podcast. we have some like [ __ ] guest on and and I'd be like, "Yeah, that's really interesting.
What do you think about that?" Well, it's [ __ ] simple, dude. I'm like, "He doesn't know what he's talking about." See, the thing is, dude, like he's on [ __ ] autopilot. It's actually true. Like, I I did do that. But like a lot of that was just playing loud. I was running around playing loud doing something. It was like a fidget spinner. But like we run an OTK call. Years ago with a…
