Chapter 1: What is Shotzzy's experience with pickleball and how did it start?
Yo, okay, I do have like a valid like... Oh, yeah, please. So last night, dude, I've been just like... In my life, it's like I get on stream, get off couch with it as hangout. I don't have any other hobbies that I really do.
Love that.
So I played pickleball last night with TP, Symphony, and Crowder. And bro, I had so much fucking fun. I was like, I came home buzzing. I was like, oh my God, I had so much fun. You found what you think? Loved it. Yeah. Now I'm in there every Monday. I'm fucking there. I'm there next Monday.
We're there next Monday. But my excuse- Oh, you don't practice on Mondays? So you'll be good. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And they play late. We didn't start till like 6.30.
That's not late. That's perfect.
Yeah, well, it's like after their scrims, they get done at like- Dude, three hours is a hell of a game.
Yeah, we played- You guys played so much.
But like, so we went there and yeah, we played three hours. So I'm like, I'm just so sore. I woke up this morning. Every single muscle on my body is like sore.

Chapter 2: What is the current status and morale of OpTic Texas after Week 1?
Motherfucker, I can see, like, two inches at the back of your heel right there. Yeah, dude. Yo, you should get, like, you should have Hector, like, deck out a white pair and get, like, some hell of fire, like, like, Optic Texas ones.
No, yeah, for the matches. I actually wore these on stage our last... You shouldn't. Our last event.
You should do, like, a cool reference. You should throw them shits out. You should throw them shits out.
Well, they're all for comfortability-wise.
No, I get it. I love those.
I don't really like wearing shoes, to be honest.
No, but these are fire, right?
Yeah. I've been wearing them since you got them.
Yeah, I'm going to get you a new pair because, Jesus Christ, throw those out. I've never seen those look that bad. Anyway, I'm going to get you a smaller size, though, so they fit really good. You even took off the sports mode. Yeah, and I don't like the sports mode. We're doing a sneaker cam.

Chapter 3: How has Hecz been feeling creatively and what challenges is he facing?
In March. $82 million?
There's no way. From CS2 cases in March. Holy shit. $82 million. $82 million.
They almost made $100 million just March.
Off of CS2 cases.
Am I seeing shit? Look. What? Why is COD not trying to do this? Imagine.
I don't even know where to fucking begin or end with the state of my favorite esport. The estimate goes to show that lucrative the skin market is for Valve with the $82 million figure only accounting for key and case purchases alone without even diving into the world of reselling skins and other cosmetic items that Valve takes a cut of in the Steam community market. So...
This is just from people buying cases. Yeah, literally. This is not from... Yo, take this fucking Dragon Lore off of me for $114,000. And they take their cut of that. And they say NFTs is not a thing.
They are raking.
I love that. I love that for them. I love that for their esport. I wish my favorite esport would do the same. I can't wait to get back into CS2 whenever time allows. I am...
