21:00 if you wanna go to the talk abt crim

h3cz did clutch up down 3-1 😭 saved not only you guys, but definitely saved the community from falling behind by multiple years. its a great spot right now and without optic watch parties, no optic majors, no formal winning halo championships for optic etc.. who knows what viewership would be like. you guys create more and more jobs in this industry with every thing you do because it keeps it growing.

seeing nick healthy and happy makes my heart so warm :) y'all are a family.optic for life

I’m so glad at how consistent and good Nicks content is now from irl streams to these podcasts now, I love it!

Miac and hitch gotta have a fire vacation coming up at the end of the year the way their carrying optic podcast this business quarter

I could listen to these 4 talk about old memories for hours and be super entertained by it!

Hector is the man. Nobody besides Stro has done was he has done. And now they teamed upx

Bro Boze and hitch are TOP 5 in optic, they are so funny. I’m dying all the time with them 2😭😂

this group is great on the pod together. need a pt 2!

This was definitely one of my favorite podcasts from OpTic. Just to hear these guys individually talking about their experiences moving out to Texas and how hard it was... But this was the light at the end of the tunnel!

Bro I love Seth and Nick together don’t get to see it often but can tell there’s hella love there

Fire podcast and fire quality bro. I never noticed how good the camera quality is.

Concept for community event: Sell 150 'player' tickets for the eSports Stadium, plus spectator tickets, obviously. Organise a private WZ2 lobby for all 150 players. Placing in WZ determines a 'rank' for each player. Players are split into pickup teams, based off their rank, for a 4v4 tourney. Could have pro's/ex-pro's as captain's/coaches. Could be a really fun way to interact with the fans!

Bro you can just tell BoZe is flourishing with the content shit. Homeboy looks the most comfortable with this shit I’ve seen him.

I like this squad boys 🤙🏾 good vibes funny stories and good opinions 👍🏾

Scump, Niac, and mboze are a great trio on the podcast

I have always wondered how different life would be for everyone in OpTic if Hecz couldn't have gotten it all back. I just know wherever anyone went, they were going to find great success.

Hitch’s Jeep needs to be found and saved, that thing is a time capsule to 2016-2018 of pure happiness and dopamine

Thank god no Zin

These ogs of OG pods are so cool. The reminiscing is so nostalgic.

We need more of this group

goated podcast group need this more

this was a great episode, great stories and super vibey.

Niac hard carrying like at nationals

From someone who’s lived in both Dallas and Chicago.. I can tell y’all didn’t go out much in Chicago. There’s bars and clubs everywhere in Chicago. Gold Coast, Old Town, River North, Wicker Park/Logan Square, West Loop just to name a few neighborhoods… A LOT more than Dallas.

I honestly dont think NiaC even knows how much of a difference he makes to the Content episodes. Brings such a fun, introspective vibe to the pods and vids. Keep it up Nick

I look forward to watching the next one and seeing what something special you have in store!!!!

Let's gooooo great way to end my work day on a Friday

Love love love boze!! I wish he was around more often.

If you are going to watch clips on the podcast share with the rest of us!

Love this group on the podcast

BEST SQUAD. JUST MISSING HECS AND FORMAL😂😂

34:50 Listen to Seth in the background 🤣🤣🤣

goated episode, love this group

22:43 scumps eye lolllllll

when yall watch vids on the podcast you should have it casted to the tv in front of the guys, for then the viewers can see it as well

Seeing Niac healthy and whole. Love to see it 🫡

great show guys !!!

Great episode!

Boze’s laugh is hilarious after nick finishes a sentence lmao

Went back and watched the Niac vlog of Scumps 21st, that he mentions. 6/7 years has changed all the boys. Cameo from Crim

“Clutch the fuck up!” - BoZe 😂

the craziest thing about the faze/optic stuff is how envy was able to build the infrastuctrure for this org with a much smaller fanbase.

What a fire epiosde!

9:20 - Getting emotional about Crim6

Been saying for years that FaZe is like OpTic if H3cz never bought it back. Glad they are speaking up on it now, love Rain and Teeqo, Apex etc.

That alcohol convo described the entire military

Karama said that and made me think of those Drake memes 😂😂

scump just sits there with a smile and i love it

"there's bitvhes you jus won't get any" i felt that 💀

Battalion was the perfect mix of CoD movement & CS type gameplay - im sure someone will remake it on Fortnite Creative

They have a top golf for baseball as well coming out

Hey hecz and all of optic, you guys should do a call of duty podcast....when you got a few cod pros and hecz, you should talk cod and set up a different podcast where you guys talk about your war stories. That's why your podcasts are growing slowly. Grow quickly by giving the gabs what they want

When people talk about faze and optic and such, and say faze is so high profile making bank. I think… but their collab content looks boring and slow then you look at optic and its straight laughs and chill vibes and everyone just hangs out and vibes. I think if faze would do what optic does and just do podcasts or content videos together like a big main channel it would genuinely make them soar in popularity again.

Being from Dallas, I hate that all people want to do is drink all the time 😂

i click the podcasts to hear hitch give ad breaks. hitch the goat 🐐

DT Chicago is touristy for sure, but you guys would only spend time in River North and thats it lol Ran into you guys a few times, but there is way more things to do besides Mag Mile and River North in the actual city lol

new camera? looooks gooood

14:37 “I had a home?” 🥺

Thanks for showing the Damon clip …

yo starting your podcasts with an ad read HAS to ruin the audience retention for anyone outside of the immediate optic fanbase 😂

Canadians have too drink up north its in they blood. That cold weather

On god my jeep did that took it in they no joke tighted two bolts and it fixed it. Said that shit happens with jeeps just gotta get the bolts tighted every 6 months or so.

Bro idc how much shit people give Maniac, I really think he’s very good at talking and I genuinely like hearing what he has to say.

🔥 as always

aac in the background oh yeahhh

Niac and BoZe the funniest content guests. argue a wall

I remember watching maniac take tequila shots mid tourney in twitch rivals and wins lmao

If y'all need a club to hit, I would recommend Club Vivo in downtown Dallas 🔥

The discussion around DMZ is interesting, it's clear they haven't played for quite a long time as a lot of it is much better now but some of their points still stand. It really needs more rewards and a marketplace.

Bro this 4 is probably the best podcast roster. Hecz should remain on the eavesdrop only unfortunately

Man Banks is the 🐐,,, anything he touches turns to gold. And he hasn’t touch FAzE in a long time.

Can we get BigT to come on the Pod next time and talk about the faze situation, would love to hear his opinion.

i feel like the bottom tv under the desk could get more use

why when they watch a clip of something is it not in the pod lol, we just sitting here watching them all sit in silence and then laugh.

Bro title made me think crim passed away 😂

Maybe Hecz could start recruiting Faze people since similar situations He could add them to the optic roster or offer a home for some of them to come if things don’t pan out with the faze situation

New title The new old men of optic

If I go to Texas I'm goin to Houston lmao

Yoo love the beer league!!! #greenwall #BDL #BEERDUTYLEAGUE

Damon is just Canadian lmao, we can all drink

Yay no zinni

Love these 4 lol

DMZ is decent for the rewards. As someone who bought the game I regularly use the taq blueprint fight night from Ashika island. DMZ is free so thinking that people can get rewards like skins and blueprints without purchasing the full game is pretty cool. Players can be a bit annoying tho. And the AI is insane when you don't give them space and headshots.

The main issue I see with FaZe is that the new executives are distancing the brand from the community the original members spent so long building up. The executives are too busy collaborating with rappers and athletes that don't care about the team community and only care about the money that is associated with the name.

I doubt anyone truly cares or will see this but I'll do my best to explain the FAZE stock plummet. Basically they Merged with a Special Acquisition Company (SPAC) which usually causes the launch of the stock to be way overvalued Price-wise. Also, depending on the structure of the deal (I don't know the details to this one exactly), insiders and those involved may be given Shares that they can convert or redeem immediately, where some Mergers require 90-180 days before they can sell their securities. It basically Opened way overvalued near $10 and their true Cash Value Valuation is roughly $0.61/Share and it is currently trading at $.66/Share, which is closer to its 'True Value'.

i think hitch ment "looter shooter" genre

boze keep wearing that cubs hat i swear kid

Boze is right "just clutch it the whole way"

Niac a real 1

The FaZe situation happened because they went public and took in a lot of money from VC and corporate investors who had no idea how to operate in the space. Banks and Temperrr and Rain no longer run FaZe and that has been the issue. The investors brought in a number of celebrities (Snoop and his son, Bronny, Kyler Murray...) that they pay a lot of money to that don't do anything for the company and none of the guys who brought FaZe up are being involved.

We need more podcasts about 2018!!!!!

Thank you the podcast is live here at work happy Friday greenwall 💚🖤🫡

22:50 y’all gotta put the clips on screen in post or something

Hell yeah they are

YES LADSSSSS

Akhil from JumpShot here, you guys mention us at 35:15. Definitely a real business, we're working with the former CEO of TopGolf. Happy to chat more if interested!

The bots in DMZ will 2 shot you out of a moving car

Let Damon coach!! Love all the content nick and hitch putting out 🙏🏽

the soccer one should 100% be called Top90
