An Unfiltered Conversation with Nadeshot

[@davesnow6453]

Some things just dosen't change in life. Me as a kid watching both Apex and Nadeshot playing CoD. Looking up to them. Me as an adult, soon to be 30 years old now, watching Apex and Nadeshot. Thank you guys, both of you. An inspiration for us back in the days, and an inspiration for kids and adults to come.

[@ReeceLain]

thank you for being so articulate in describing that. you really did it justice just how much this all means to us ❤

[@bradleydavies335]

“Dosen’t” when it’s spelled wrong and should be “don’t” is too funny

[@AdamHasPowers]

@@davesnow6453 This!

[@chancecarter276]

For sure. Always liked OpTic more than Faze. But when the Faze NY house happened I was a huge fan of both. We had the 60/50 house and scuff house along with the Faze NY house. It was a great time 🥲

[@CheezusI]

Couldn't have said this any better!!

[@mugiwara7339]

Apex I know it would be impossible but we need Jev on here

[@l3_d4zt]

Bro yessss pls

[@4K_Koala]

No we don’t

[@OhhRez]

lol nah

[@OhhRez]

If anything BigT not jev

[@AaronKelly-t9u]

Why is it impossible

[@X_Armadylx]

Nadeshot was the posterboy for call of duty i hope he realizes what an icon he really is he put COD competitive on the mainstream in the early days and he literally made his dreams come true from dedication passion and the desire to prove his doubters and even competitors that he was good enough to win.

[@josephatkinson6280]

Without Nade the greenwall never sees the popularity is has today, hell most of the cod scene tbh.

[@alexruiz1004]

Apex on a generational run

[@PlextheDestroyer]

Once again 🫡💯

[@Atlxntics]

No fr , because I don’t even like watching podcast , don’t watch much interviews but these are fire bro I actually enjoy watching these new interview videos from apex.

[@John-pp6xy]

couldn’t have said it any better

[@chase9480]

Fax I’m glad him n Adapt found their niches in this new content era

[@EkillOrRyan]

The “I don’t wanna work at McDonald’s anymore” in those early days was my favorite and still is cod esport moment in history. Nadeshot was the first “household known” pro player to other casual players.

[@AstroPopper]

bro was never good

[@ReeceLain]

facts man. literally mount Rushmore of gaming, no questions asked

[@rayzpebo]

@@AstroPopperread his comment again and let us know where are we discussing that smh

[@Danceypants]

do you want to own a mcdonalds with us :) would you like to join m team of the gorillas

[@EkillOrRyan]

@@AstroPopper he was good.. he wasn’t the best in gun skill but he was one of the smartest pros back then especially on objective game modes. He was the Malcolm Brogdon of call of duty 😂

[@BasilNadeem]

The best podcast. Just real OG’s and great conversations. Glad you are doing then apex. Ma Shaa Allah

[@haseebfaraz3304]

Mashallah

[@danielappel4414]

It really is crazy I used to watch scump and nade in 2012 on bo2 when I was 12. and 12 years later those two are still top streamers through all the 100 thieves stuff and scump competing. They really are the goats of this whole thing

[@AdamHasPowers]

Loving these interviews with the OG’s. Same age as yall, grew up watching Nadeshot, FaZe, and OpTic since the start…day 1. It’s so cool to hear the behind the scenes from over the years!

[@carloschavez4174]

Thank you for coming back Apex. Each episode is so good and i actually get hyped when i see the next guest this one is huge love nade!

[@mango_sku]

him talking about hecz is heartwarming honestly

[@MintyFitOnAllSocials]

It's crazy watching this knowing we watched all this as it happened. I remember the Black Ops 2 Yemen game when Nade got sponsored by RedBull. I remember the Aches pushing tournament. I remember the MW2 video where Scump dropped 40 on Nade before he was on OpTic. I remember Bops2 champs. I remember wanting to join the OpTic sniping team and once Hecz axed it I did FaZe5 to try and join. I remember the gamebattles matches I stayed up all night with the boys playing. I remember everything. Doesn't seem that long ago but it's been well over a decade. Insane to say we all grew up together. Now I'm 31 with my own kids and play still after they get to sleep for a bit. Wild timeline. You guys paved the way for everyone. Actual Mount Rushmore heads of gaming. Thank you.

[@KeyTMC]

You my friend know ball

[@brendonbaut634]

A Tommy Temper interview is needed for the culture

[@Jxhnsn]

I love how long the episodes are bro. Helps me get through my day at work. Please keep doing these!

[@brycing]

JEV EPISODE WOULD BREAK THE INTERNET

[@TheSleepySlayer]

Jev would literally be the most boring episode ever. And that’s even if Apex can get him to leave his safe zone

[@brycing]

@ hater

[@julianv6819]

No it wouldn’t bro you’re glazing

[@freshbaker]

Watching this channel go from what it was, to what it is, has been wild. been here for 10+ years since childhood, the grind never stops W Apex

[@TheRealFracture]

I was literally watching The Around the Bar podcast episode with Nadeshot when I look to my right and see this one was posted 8 minutes ago lol. Instantly clicked on it! Happy to have you back on youtube posting consistently!

[@n8tethegr8t20]

i love the around the bar podcast

[@KiLlAzOe14]

I appreciate that nadeshot shot for the moon and realized he wasn’t cut out for the business aspect and openly admits it. Brother we just want to play games and have a good time lol

[@camdenwaters183]

So grateful that you’re doing these podcasts Apex. You found the perfect lane

[@blakefiorentino5688]

I love the direction apex is going. The best podcasts are the ones that people do after their main career I feel like people like that have stories and life experiences that we all wanna hear about

[@aetosrequiem]

Love to watch & listen to the archives of things i grew up with since 2010. I’m 28 now, a true generational breakdown. Nade is a true legend.

[@gianpierreroche]

I’m so glad you’re back I never watched hour long podcast so easily just brings me back to

[@juniorbiel24]

This podcast was amazing. I have never got to hear matt speak from this mental space. It was refreshing to hear his story and his vision. We played together in a ranked game back in the bo2 days and I lost my shit! Lol. Best of luck out there Matt. You were working at mcdonalds and now own a multi million dollar company! Much love brother

[@trashboat_]

junior this was the most wholesome comment ive read, many blessings to you bro

[@Capbustxbox]

Jesus man Apex youre an absolute standout man. What youre doing with these podcasts are amazing. They way you listen talk and ask questions i can tell throughout your career you were probably the most genuine person to speak with! Keep it up!

[@leoxlix8001]

This was a very insightful interview. I’ve always looked up to Nadeshot aka Matt since his early days (I’m 27 years old) but I’m happy to see how far he’s come & I hope to do the same. 🤝

[@BloodshotNV]

Hey Apex, very long time fan here. I’ve been watching every podcast and I have to say it’s crazy how this is your first time jumping into this genre of content yet you’re crushing it! All the conversations you have are so genuine and I think it stems from the host. I really hope you keep this up because this has quickly turned into one of my favorite shows to listen to.

[@ActuallyEllrod]

this is truly been a blessing. Love these convos.

[@Slicknick003]

I love this podcast, the nostalgic aspect alongside the storytelling of amazing stories and journeys. It’s amazing honestly, wishing you and Nade the best🥹🥹

[@murrvy]

Loving the Apex grind this past couple months, happy to have you back Apex! This is what pushing 30 is all about ❤️

[@radial357]

This new content and the revival of your channel under a new lens is so awesome to see. Keep it up!

[@jrdiaz7053]

Been waiting for this one!

[@anthonyorozco1218]

About an hour in, the bouncing off of each others emotions on their friends and the industry that they grew up in was so heart warming, legit 🖤

[@javierperrett3008]

Loving these podcasts king. Glad to see you back

[@Adurite]

Oh man those BO2 clips bring back a lot of memories.

[@rollin60z]

U didn’t even watch longer than 2minutes boy pipe down

[@DraysWorkshop]

Loved this conversation with Nadeshot man! True Goat for sure! Thinking towards the future here, but you have to do an interview with Summit at some point, also another OG of the streaming community. Talking about the chillest interview ever!

[@evercabello4417]

Been watching faze and optic since like 14-15 im 22 right now and just seeing all of these guests on your podcast is very nostalgic and not only that but you are doing an amazing job as a interviewer.

[@ogslasher]

HecZ and now Nade 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@CasprThaGhost]

this series is the best fucking thing to happen to OG youtube good work Apex you went in and beyond with this F&F series

[@Ardns]

Re-watched Nadeshot’s appearance on Swagg’s podcast literally yesterday! Onto this one now today! Perfect coincidence

[@PerkJackson]

Getting hecs perspective and then nadeshots was gold😂 this is pure content

[@Valor20]

I’ve watched Nade since his early days at optic. It quite amazing to see how far he has come as an entertainer but also as an individual. These guys are the pioneers for what gaming content creation has become today. Congrats to both of them for their continued success. God bless.

[@tatlantis894]

Dude I love u apex. Not just this but what you said on 30/30 ESPN. This was awesome much thanks to Matt for sharing. I’m about to burn all ears soon.

[@dillondavis6886]

Big respect to nade for giving props to allll the hard-working folks at 100T. He could easily gloat and act like he’s built this company primarily on his own. Instead, he’s incredibly humble and honest. Big W Nade!

[@Prazzic]

Love seeing the OG’s coming on the pod!! Big ups Apex I love the new uploads!

[@Empekkable]

It’s so crazy I’m 28 right now. But to this day I still watch Nadeshot, Pamaj, Spratt & FaZe. Every time I watch KZbin videos of COD. It takes me away from reality. I enjoy 3 things as hobbies COD, MMA & boxing. Great podcast Apex hopefully you get Pamaj or Spratt on the podcast.

[@SocietyInspector]

Ok apex, I’ll give it to you. You got my sub, well deserved.

[@dsap99]

Yea Nade was definitely one of the biggest gamers on internet before. I've watched him since MW3 and am now 25 years old. Love everything that he's done with 100Thieves. Day 1 supporter of 100T and love the apparel

[@JTStout]

Loving the content with all these ogs from CoD. Man I’d really like an episode with Hastr0 he was a huge part in competitive and also with EnVy. Keep up the good work.

[@tpriceee]

By far my favorite episode to date, keep it up apex. It’s an amazing thing you’re doing❤️

[@MrEuropeanTv]

So much respect and love for nade what that man has managed to do is unreal and shows that anything is possible long as you dream and never let your inner kid stop dreaming. Nade shot is a real gamers success story

[@Jamamegapr]

Damn. Apex can really host this podcast. Great interview and pod. Hopefully SOMEDAY Jev can make the podcast. Wouldn't that be something

[@BoulFF]

Apex really is back making great, quality content🔥🔥🔥we used to pray for times like this

[@Steezehh]

Listened to every pod so far, so happy you're doing this Apex. Keep it up man 🫡

[@ItsxMagiicGaming]

This is really the content we didn’t know we needed from Apex. Im so glad the direction he is going. Apex is back!

[@knottssonasty3603]

Awesome podcast dude! Nadeshot and 💯 thieves, Faze,Optic, it’s the names that got me into gaming and everybody wanted to be a part of!

[@legacy_292]

apex has already becoming so much more comfortable with this long form content. first video was very amateurish and understandably so but hes already learning when and how to questions and when to sit back and let the guest speak

[@EddieLynn]

Okay Apex, just stumbled on your podcasts. Love all of it man, keep that shit up!

[@Stateless7]

It's wild that the first time I heard of Nadeshot was before he was on OpTic. He played on this GB team called MoB Deep back in 2010. Crazy looking back to those days.

[@MEDLINvisuals]

Another amazing interview Apex, every time I think you couldn't drop a better video you somehow do

[@Sneaky_Sins]

Let’s go! 10 days and got a new interview!! Apex you are goated! Keep these coming 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@ZxRiGxZ]

Love these!! Get all the OGS / famous content creators that are even gone now but made insane videos

[@Cant111]

Love the podcasts, You're such a good soul, keep grinding

[@TonyHiimself]

Apex if you see this your videos have been amazing the work the interviews are honestly growing and getting better each time! The passion you’re putting into this is like how you were back in the day! Never give this up you are truly amazing! Much love

[@6ayit]

man ive been loving these podcasts so much, watching my childhood heroes telling their story their growth etc wallahi its amazing to see whats become of these guys

[@Slypuppy_]

Dude, love the content, absolutely killin' it. Zoomaa in the future would be incredible content. 👊

[@itzFlashey]

Actually killing it. Been loving all these episodes man

[@AvonV]

Listening to this really made me respect Nadeshot so much more than I already did. It takes a lot to back up and say that sometimes you're just not cut out for something. We glamorize business ownership, especially for what we perceive as these huge brands in the gaming industry, and to step away from the clout and prestige is super commendable, it shows everyone that you're not there just for the bag, but because you care about the industry and everyone involved. much love

[@FlatlinerBurn]

These episodes are awesome man

[@GGriffex]

Such a great listen with coffee in the morning ☕️

[@airexpct6224]

Apex is back baaaaaby! Thanks for all the legendary content you are putting out sir.

[@scirito]

It’s nice seeing you again on KZbin apex

[@blakeaion]

Been watching these two my whole life, thank you for this APEXXXX. Keep it up.

[@LORD_ORiGiNALz]

I remember seeing Nade back in MW3 seeing his growth to now makes me so proud and happy for him

[@Flivex-ld4bw]

That place Nade attended his first MLG event was eventually abandoned and now taken down completely, source: i drive by the old location every single day. it was a pretty cool spot before

[@The_Goblin69]

Been waiting for this one 💯

[@dmothekid]

Me and the homies found out about Nadeshot back in the day when he was in the Optic house with the white M3 Beamer I’ll never forget that. We were like 15 at the time not able to drive yet and man did that motivate use to be good at gaming lol. This man is a staple in the CoD community and watching the evolution is awesome. W Nadeshot ☝️🤓

[@Rada]

Man I love these podcasts. Each episode is so good! Would love to see JEV, BANKS or Scump jump on these too

[@sunnyd5944]

Apex love the podcast man, all the story takes me back good memories

[@BudderRulesMC]

I’ve been so excited for this episode since Nade mentioned he recorded this ep on the Around the Bar podcast 🥳 Glad it’s finally here

[@RedE4NBA2K]

Absolutely killing it with these sit downs man 🔥🔥

[@oso92316]

Back to back bangers okay Apex am starting to get back into your content after years of not watching FaZe but it’s always BrickbyBrick over here but grew up on FaZe too soooo it’s cool to see some good content from y’all now

[@evangosnay4237]

Incredible listen. This guy deserves everything he has!

[@AllJustForGiggles]

Would love to see you talk to Fwiz, Sark and Hutch. Great podcasts so far. You are a great host. Keep them coming

[@noahgoldowitz]

[@Adyan78684]

[@jugogaming]

Yooo this pod is gonna be fire I can’t wait to watch glad you got Nade to be on one

[@notevenworthtrying]

Met Nadeshot when I went to the faze house in middle school funny enough, he was super genuine and I appreciate all the guys who talked to us and signed stuff, sorry for showing up at your house apex lol

[@saleh7615]

Keep this pod consistent bro your vision is working.

[@tarekomairi]

Love this! I’d be cool to see scump on here one day!

[@ennolanguss]

I dont really fuck with faze or cod anymore, but Apex has a great voice for this and seems to ask pretty good questions

[@MYSTlC7]

Super great listen

[@thelordrico8109]

I like what apex got going on all love. This is my Era love to see years later we all doing good man

[@TravisLexo]

Nade will always be one of true og pioneers will always remember his backstory just a impactful come up i’ll always think about all those timeless optic memories all watching all the CDL events they always competed in these are gaming memories you will never just forget thank you apex for always bringing these memories back again ❤️

[@JMaverik]

The reason so many of us watched COD and still do - Nade is a legend 🐐

[@TeaRApolloGaming]

Nades vlog era was sick underrated for sure

[@Speedz41]

straight OG b2b pods. 10+ years of watching yall.

[@vincentsvaluables6756]

Always love a pod with Nade. 🐐

[@ImQuap]

Another great video. Amazing insight
