AIRING IT OUT w/ Pro Syndicate (OpTic Podcast S2 E5)

[@LifeOfTom]

Appreicate the invite onto the cast, I really hope people listen to the whole thing rather than jumping to conclusions. I love the OG community & I hope they can see things from a another prospective. I've already seen in the comments people jumping to conclusions of something that was said or done when in actual fact non of the things were said by me. Non the less. Optic Gaming I'll love you till the end & Hecz for being a homie x

[@richardmayer5105]

Life of Tom Youre legit man do not let the haters try and bring you down.

[@melohdies9115]

Life of Tom ily

[@lukesmillie2649]

Life of Tom You've said your piece, your real fans will stick with you and support you! You do and I would love a season 2 of Hunting Optic, Stick at it 🖤💚

[@Mythinnn]

Life of Tom always and forever ❤ Forever subbed

[@Tanner.jones69]

Life of Tom honestly I'm not going to lie I started using CSGO lotto when I found out you were using it. I was passed you didn't explain that you owned it and unsubbed. and the main reason I unsubbed is because you were just silent about the entire thing. I was waiting for this entire explanation so thanks man. I really appreciated this.

[@adriansaldivar4636]

I don't give a fuck about the CS Lotto I still love Tom

[@edaly5096]

Yeah I feel like half the ppl hating don't even follow CS or CS lotto as a whole

[@roryisawesome1]

Yeah fuck morality you're an idiot

[@UrbanZervR]

It's disgusting to see the hate train surrounding him ever since that scandal, some people just don't think for themselves

[@ndy079]

loser

[@adriansaldivar4636]

GuitarH3R0legend how the fuck does he steal people's money? Did they not know it was a GAMBLING SITE. If your stupid enough to thing gambling is the same a " win every time" then I'm sorry for you

[@akasev]

Tom should be a more permanent resident at the OpTic House

[@roryisawesome1]

Rather someone who wouldn't want to rob all his 'fans' of their hard earned money, ironically the same people who got him there

[@atlasterigo4828]

GuitarH3R0legend You're* Stupid fucking halfwit. I don't know where you're getting this information but trust me, it is all wrong. Stop joining the hate bandwagon and think for yourself.

[@chili24137]

no please no, he's so goddamn annoying not to mention extremely greedy and blind to do such a pathetic thing with the CSGO lotto situation.

[@thomkooi]

GuitarH3R0legend get proof than talk shit

[@Mythinnn]

GuitarH3R0legend you're fucking cancer get the fuck out of this comment section you are not wanted here your opinion and everything about you is cancer.

Sorry about this, Hitch and Boze both told me it was episode 4 before we began. allegedly. - h

[@G59_Gabe]

+OpTicNation what episode of the podcast did you talk about carrying tom out of the hotel in L.A?? because i would like to listen to that episode

[@jbaby1428]

Zealot it's in season 1

[@TacoFalcon]

Zealot just look for the other podcast that Tom was in

[@stevengonzalez3014]

OpTicNation okay now let's get that boi nade on the podcast.

[@ryanhoward6908]

Steven Gonzalez nade won't come back, he made a video

[@jacobkurtz359]

Must be nice to not worry about money at all. Damn Thomas

[@MrDeadpredator]

Jake 0429 thats every1 in the optic house lol

[@bormann949]

That's pretty much everyone in the world.

[@jacobkurtz359]

bormann949 um what?

[@TacoFalcon]

bormann949 boy do you have a world to see

[@TheNonMakeupGuru]

True, but keep in mind he has worked his arse off to get where he is, pays full salary to multi family members, and donates a shit tone to charity

[@carsonehlers2932]

You guys do realize he said that he HAS been copying and pasting meaning he copies z's and pastes them in where needs one

[@EuropesNinja]

PlamenDrop needing to copy and paste the z over because it doesn't work

[@PRYVTgomerPYLE]

xD

[@paulthekidwithafro32]

Who else prefers this setup? I think its better

[@M4FIA-g5l]

PaulZak I kinda like the old setup better

[@ZSKiIIa]

PaulZak they need artwork on that wall behind them if they're going to the podcast at the bar.

[@0xff733]

PaulZak old setup is more chill an relaxed

[@paulthekidwithafro32]

Actually yeah, after watching the whole thing I prefer the old set up

[@NotGlitchyy]

Needs some Sound fixing on the rebounds

[@shaunhutchinson4707]

Still waiting for the 2nd episode of the Trivia series....

[@edaly5096]

Yeah I enjoyed that wonder what topic they will do next

[@shaunhutchinson4707]

Was meant to be movie scores/soundtracks. I'm sure Hitch mentioned it in a vlog before he left for some holiday and in fact had it filmed, just needed to edit/upload it.

[@edaly5096]

Thank for the info I wasn't sure but It will be a good video either way

[@0xff733]

Shaun Hutchinson still waiting for the second part of Vision

[@RyanSlays]

WHERE THE FUCK IS WILL?!!!!

[@edaly5096]

On earth

[@Arciga023]

joseph Adams i see what u did there lol

[@M4FIA-g5l]

RyanSlays in our imagination. He's long gone brotha

[@yogiinfall]

RyanSlays upstairs probably

[@LMAAAAYOOO]

ITS WILLLLLLLL

[@jameshogan1738]

Is BigT going to come on soon?

[@jameshogan1738]

Also did he say 'they can sleep on the couch' this new halo team is training for the biggest tournament of the year and that manc gets a room for himself? That's incredibly disrespectful.

[@lilJacklil]

Jamie Hogan lol, he said just kidding under his breathe. Hecz is finding them mattresses(vlog)

[@rxcmxrt]

Jamie Hogan the optic house is more for friends than the specific teams. maniac is established

[@E-A-Z-Y]

Jamie Hogan There's an empty CS house they could live in to train and prepare. What good is Tom there?

[@dreyrichards433]

Yes shitting 😂😂

[@edwardtkachenko]

I think this was actually a petty effort by Tom to make him look like a good person by randomly showing up at the Optic house and having Hecz say good things. I also think it was smart for Hecz and Optic to stay out of the whole scandal but Tom showing up on his doorstep without any warning lowkey probably pissed him off.

[@MrDeadpredator]

Edward Tkachenko haha you're a dumbass

[@joelrivera6824]

Edward Tkachenko Tom and Optic have always been close.

[@lilJacklil]

Edward Tkachenko if you watch hecz' vlogs it will explain everything. Also, tom was supposed to be a part of optic as a content creator a while back but became a vlogger.

[@xNizz3]

this comment is so stupid and it screams that you are so uninformed

[@deceaseful6924]

Edward Tkachenko tom has done that more than a couple of times last year what the fuck are you talking about.

[@markleleifi1245]

hahahahahaah i remember Tom telling the mianite squad like Sonja, Tucker and Jordan that he hasn't shat in a week and they freaked out 😂😂😂

[@cynical5895]

Can't we have 1 podcast with normal audio?

[@DaMasterAssassin]

I don't really mind Tom, but TmarTn went full on scumbag mode. Just lying about the website how he "discovered it"

[@morganfreemonn4764]

Did Tom openly say he was owner of it?

[@Salman-ok6dj]

@@morganfreemonn4764 tom never really talked about anything about the webside when it came to ownership i dont think

[@FingerGunProductions]

@@Salman-ok6dj So he's a scumbag.

[@Harpdashian]

Tom made a load of money and forgot where he came from, living in a massive house and buying flash cars with money he made playing games wasn’t enough. He wanted to scam the people who made him and everyone seems to have moved on.

[@Harpdashian]

Elite Soulfly there really is something dark about him, he hides it behind his whole live life to the fullest shit

[@haydn9955]

Tom is a snake in the grass. awkward vibe throughout this whole podcast.

[@JDMatrix]

Wait people still talking about that csgo lotto drama?

[@sergeprofile6420]

OBJ Matrix thats how childish the community is

[@lawfulneptune14]

Serge Profile I understand the hate and I think he deserves it. He didn't come out and say it was his website. He let kids gamble money. He gambled in his own site to advertise it. Watch H3H3 video on it and tell me this fucker is not sketchy

[@Bawsack121]

lawfulneptune14 people can be different off of camera. Basically a snake in the grass who just wants money. Shit generation we live in.

[@sergeprofile6420]

lawfulneptune14 yeah I saw the video. I admit it was pretty scummy by his part, but I mean, lets get this over it. Its not as bad as that dude who faked getting kicked out of the airplane last month and created a stigma regarding America and muslims.

[@alexbarfield5140]

lawfulneptune14 You think it's possible to stop kids gambling. Haha.

[@SLADE_xL]

I would 100% watch Hunting OpTic S2. I love the relationship between Tom and OpTic

[@bentaylorr]

Your dream has come true :)

[@benjamincrook6416]

Big up tom!! Speaking about such a big issue must've been hard so good for you man! I've watched since 2012 and through the scandal I believed you and trusted that you wouldn't rig it, and Trevor cos I watch him too, big up to you bro!!!👊

[@MehSwiftsofresh]

The Joe Rogan podcast manages to livestream their podcast with just one guy in the background handling the editing and switching the camera angles and video. Yet this podcast has Post production and is lengths and bounds behind in terms of quality.

[@MehSwiftsofresh]

Hire a person who handles media please, Hitch is so inconsistent let him focus on Vision solely.

[@monkeychunkies406]

Meh Swift I agree with this

[@EwOLNATION]

Ye well the Joe Rogan podcast have about 1000 episodes.. it takes time to make it good. The Optic podcast have about 20+ episodes, they will find a good setup and a easier way to produce everything.

[@MehSwiftsofresh]

My main concern is the audio quality and has always been the concern from the very beginning. I don't mind the video because I like the one angle.

[@shnoo8900]

Meh Swift he's a professional podcaster lmao cut them some slack

[@skol5069]

Tom or Tmartn didn't steal your money YOU GAMBLED it away. Guarantee it's only 15 year olds and younger complaining about this. Because they don't know how gambling works

[@Emoore9450]

shut up you're 13

[@skol5069]

ethan moore I'm not 13

[@jack-eu6ib]

SK OL you are so rite , everyone bitching saying they stole money off kids , which they never even did ,

[@joekeenen1915]

Just to be clear... You're saying these kids gambled their money away on the site? Gambling in the US is illegal for anyone under 18. So what you're saying is that he promoted a gambling site for his viewers, who are almost all under the age of 18. To make it even worse, tmart promoted the site without even saying he owned it.

[@joekeenen1915]

Lol I've never even played CSGO.

[@Jonathick]

Get off of work and Tom is on the podcast. heating up some food shower and I am about to relax so hard!

[@ander5on118]

i got banned by tom on twitter because i made a csgo lotto joke :(

[@reallyadz2054]

Bro I did that and I got banned on two accounts

[@BombSquad012]

Been a Syndicate fan since forever after the "accident" I still am.

[@htmn4hire176]

Cool to finally hear Tom's side of things. Glad that it has been resolved and that he finally spoke about it. We live in a society of professional cry bullies whose sole purpose is to point fingers and convict people, without knowing any of the facts, in the name of social justice. Glad Tom kept a level head through it.

[@strxts9790]

tom said "I fucking shit everywhere" really quietly after they talk about shitting in the airport, hahaha I'm dead

[@joshual3376]

Tom came onto the optic podcast to talk about it because he knew they would not ask the hard questions and make him look good. Go on a real podcast where they will ask you the tough questions where you really have to explain yourself. Just because you legally got it away does not mean it was morally right.

[@danzemi8752]

dude mad respect for speaking out syndicate surrounded by friends clear the air all I want is for you to come smash that main channel with crazy new content and finally hit 10m prove em you ain't hiding like you ain't got owt to hide mate respect

[@mind4reak315]

all this hate for tom is pathetic, you know what youre getting into when enter a gambling site for skins...

[@lewisthomson6382]

allegedly fixed heads or tails games or botting skins to gamble to win real money off a child yeah they did

[@mind4reak315]

1. Tom said there was no fixed heads or tails 2. The only problem behind this was that Tom and Tmartn didn't disclose that they were the owners behind the site and that was shady 3. "win real money off a child" when the website tells them they need to be 18+ or shit to gamble, whos fault is it if the "child" lied by saying hes 18+

[@Neilukuk]

"1. Tom said there was no fixed heads or tails" Ok everyone .Tom said it wasn't fixed so that means it's true!

[@ogfrancy5888]

by far the best/funnest optic podcast that I've watched 10/10

[@nickl6118]

there is no way yall can actually be this mad at Tom lmao. The dude made a mistake and has owned up to it. Move on. You will one day make a mistake and will hope people would look past it.

[@joshual3376]

owned up to it? He's never even apologized for it

[@nickl6118]

im guessing you didnt watch the video. Nobody was scammed and the sight wasnt rigged lol. That is why 3/4 pending law suits against him have been dropped.

[@nickl6118]

What does he have to apologize for?

[@joshual3376]

LgC Nicky just because he got away with it legally doesn't mean it was morally right and that's what tom fails to see

[@viscoselight23]

LgC Nicky Well he could have scammed. There just isn't any proof of it. Only illegal actions he did was not disclose ( or make more obvious) the fact that he owns the site.

[@eldiablo4956]

What turtle beach would you recommend? I have the stealth 400 at the moment

[@joshual3376]

Tom believes just because he is getting away with what he done makes it fine. He has learned absolutely nothing. Money hungry and will never change.

[@MatthewPlayPc]

Lucio Like you Are Better

[@joshual3376]

matthewplaypc irrelevant to my comment

[@Ethaan-]

MatthewPlayPc thank you I hate all these fanboys who suck his sick and say it's fine

[@joshual3376]

vigil instint he did get away with it clearly if he can come on the podcast and preach that he did nothing wrong..

[@ImBirk]

Lucio He's not preaching that he did nothing wrong. I don't watch his videos at all so I'm definitely not a fanboy. He's saying he hasn't done anything wrong in regards of rigging the site, several times before he has admitted that it was wrong to not be up front about the ownership and has apologized for that. In fact it's a very minor infraction since there's no proof at all of rigging, sure it's immoral to lie about ownership but it's a mistake he's owned up to and is moving on from.

[@zakeu_8242]

I love it when Tom is in these podcasts! Loved the video :D

[@TheNamesElijah]

Can we bring up the fact that my mans boze was faded having a good ass time with boomin nick

[@rookie6833]

someone PLEASE link me that damn Proofy video/clip. They spoke about it in the last podcast but I can't find it! I'd appreciate it!

[@rugan9214]

I remember Tom and CaptainSparklez having that poop conversation on stream like 2 or 3 years ago XD

[@liamburke6660]

Wow! The synchronisation at 2:31 caught me off guard 😂😂

[@GonthorianPX]

So I Found this new site....

[@ClipoHQ]

NoobSox ikr he is a fucking liar

[@boi2450]

NoobSox that's Tmartn not tom

[@GonthorianPX]

LMfao they both owned equal portions of the company...

[@iBooben]

This by far was one of the funniest podcast. Most content with Tom is always so funny.

[@moneymakin6104]

Lost all respect for Tom after the CSGo lotto thing. Seems like a really shady guy

[@MatthewPlayPc]

MoneyMakin go cry

[@Emoore9450]

Idkkkk maybe the world may never know

[@dlantz245]

this is by far my favorite series on optic nation. thanks, guys.

[@Arciga023]

People still hate on tom? Didn't know that thought that was a long time ago

[@TigerBlood_]

I don't know how difficulty it would be but Hecz (or Hitch), could you look into possibly getting these on iTunes so I can download them and listen to them in my car or flights?

[@SuperBornd]

54:24 sounded exactly like maniac lol

[@nickspringer3832]

This is an awesome setting the podcast is getting filmed in

[@YvngGrsshppr]

Tom is such a gangsta... finesse lil kids n shit

[@DanRaykovitz00]

really like the podcast around the bar setup tbh

[@WitNicky]

What are people so mad about? You gambled the money lol don't bitch because you lost it that's how gambling works. Who cares about who owns the website. Somebody's gonna profit either way if you don't wanna lose money don't gamble.

[@eoghan9289]

Nick Kuhn people are mad because tom didnt clarify he partly owned the website and he acted like he just discovered a website. people just dont like being lied to

[@GTixXxMODxXx]

people are just mad he had a successful business, no one talks about faze and csgo wild lol

[@Junr206]

This podcast deserves a like.

[@JuanGarcia-gu5nv]

Guys come on Tom is giving his side of the story and everyone still tries to rip him......sad

[@ImBirk]

Juan Garcia People only hear what they want to hear which was Tom saying "I didn't do anything wrong" but they fail to understand that he's talking about the rigging/scamming alone as there's no proof, while he's always admitted the ownership issue was a mistake.

[@SharknadoTV]

Its so good having Tom in the OpTic House

[@Jcarlo1320]

OpTic Syndicate 🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@FasAntick]

That was the best optic podcast so far.

[@LachlanKell]

Tom was my role model as a kid and was someone I genuinely looked up too. When I found about the csgo lotto stuff it destroyed my respect for him. I honestly wish I could let this go and I was hoping you would convince me to forgive you but you didn’t. I feel like a huge chunk of my childhood has been tainted.

[@songfulcrayfish1591]

That Proofy impression was spot on haha!

[@WidgetWagyu47292]

Booze looks faded lowkey

[@WidgetWagyu47292]

Mcquestion _ auto correct bruh

[@ScreamoBiach]

Crip Pikachu my mans looks faded in a lot of his videos now tbh

[@cassielov3]

they smoked a lot of weed in that house but didn’t show us back then bc we were kids at the time

[@IDONTGIVEABEEPful]

I think the movie you are talking about is "The Spotlight" at the @14:00 ish mark. It is a movie on Netflix.

[@carlosluna3401]

Syndicate's fans love OpTic, but OpTic fans hate Syndicate. smh, he made a mistake, just get over it. people make mistakes...

[@brennanb4054]

Carlitosss96 truth

[@cmdrmeldoc59]

Idk if they ended up remembering what Turtle Beach headset Tom had in the end, but remembering from a very very old vlog from his old office at his dad's; he had the Turtle Beach X81s. I still have mine ;) works perfectly. Even on my Xbox One!

[@smithii1867]

What tom and Trevor done wasn't even that bad they were just using there own site without rigging it Phantom lord and moe are the ones you wanted to be pissed at Then again it's been months so who cares just felt like saying that 😂

[@rhyswyatt2905]

Smithii it's becuase they didnt disclose that they were owners, but i wholey still like Tom

[@kendawg619]

yooo this was the best pod cast i seen pro Syndicate so funny dude never laughed so much watching a youtube video lol

[@sixsiege9769]

dishonest tom

[@nickspringer3832]

Is there a way to listen to this podcast other than KZbin?

[@JoshMiner21]

People in the comments bashing tom are so butt hurt. so what if tom fucked up once, we all make mistakes sometimes. True fans will forgive tom.

[@starkz2175]

JM1N3R there's a difference between making a mistake and purposely withholding information to make a profit on the back of little kids.

[@JoshMiner21]

Julian Ruge Its not his problem, its the parents problem for not monitoring what their kid is doing on the internet. Also he did say he was sponsored by csgo lotto which is more than enough. P.S we did ask so he didn't answer which is fair play and business. Deal with it.

[@brandowwww]

How would knowing that he is the owner change anything at all, they still would have played and lost money...

[@brandowwww]

It wasn't rigged though. Tom provided the legal documents, files, etc to prove that it wasn't, if it actually was rigged he would have gotten into a lot of trouble.

[@WitNicky]

Julian Ruge so if he said he owned the company you think he would have made less money? No he would have profited even more if him and Tmartn let everyone know they own that site. The website wasn't rigged so people are bitching just to bitch if you don't want to lose money don't gamble

[@ethanraez6848]

Syndicate's life is like H1Z1 without the killing people, just travelling from place to place looting what he needs

[@TheGebs24]

I've met you twiceTom and used to have a lot of respect for you. If you'd have explained yourself about the CSGO scandal from the minute the story broke then you could have redeemed yourself. You waited this long to talk about it publicly? And to have two members of OpTic besides you to cushion your blow? Too little too late. You looked so uncomfortable through this. What a shame. Your main channel is dead too.

[@erikpersson2365]

I understand the legal aspect of the situation, that staying silent was the best option as whatever he said could be twisted and used against him. However, remaining silent didn't come without a price. By not saying anything about it, people only heard what the accusers were saying. That allowed for spekulation and missinformation to spread.

[@monkeychunkies406]

IM SO HYPE THAT TOM IS ON THE PODCAST. Just wished he came more often to visit

[@monkeychunkies406]

Big T would've been better than boze there

[@MrCabbage_]

I love how chill these are

[@mehaileyb]

Am I the only one who enjoyed tom on the podcast? He's actually entertaining and makes the hour fly by.

[@jakesmith9519]

I really appreciate this podcast because tom finally cleared up the CSGO lotto thing and I've been confused about the whole thing since it popped up

[@WinnersApplyRisks]

Im with you Tom and always will be, your very grounded, this was such a good podcast!

[@fatherofthery7316]

one of the best pod cast they've done this far.

[@Jetzedit]

what mic arm is that ?

[@909orbitz]

all bullshit aside, Hunting Optic is was got me into Optic as an organization and made me a fan of it! 100!

[@jeffhardman8768]

Definitely like the podcast set up at the bar counter, feels more like a real podcast!

[@baileyloeppky9551]

I like this not always cutting back and forth between the people talk

love this set up hector. audio is perfect too. you should keep this.

[@jonathanturnbull2617]

Been watching tom since his collage days, big fan of Optic because of him.

[@SpaceFlye]

Where in the podcast do they talk about the cs:go thing?

[@craigmason9983]

Pissed my pants laughing at the Nick impersonations... I'm at work for 4 more hours... thanks Hecz

[@TarzanTFT]

The Nick impressions were so on point, they cracked me up XD

[@JackiePlays]

You guys ever thought about making this podcast available on soundcloud or on apple podcasts or something? I enjoy listening to podcasts in the car as I have to drive often so I'd love to listen to this. Just some food for thought!

[@RatedGAF]

BY FAR best podcast ever!

[@Rubihndz]

this podcast and the one with J and Tum's are some of the most comical lmfao

[@RoyalGamingHD1]

I love hearing people talk about business it's awesome

Elgato Plays bro give me actual accurate evidence And not al that bullshit.. if you lost money bij gambling its your own fault dont try to blame someone else for it

[@MJPMatty]

Tom needs to move in the house for real, we all want it.

[@MightyHawk84]

Appreciated the explanation, it has been long overdue

[@alppuvaa]

You can kinda see that its a hard subject to discuss for both parties, mad respect for going through this.

[@alexbarfield5140]

I'm glad I kept my faith with Tom :)
