GETTING DROPPED IS BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME | METHODZ | The Eavesdrop Podcast Ep. 121

[@ryanlundin3614]

Zinni is the coolest dude. Last year when my mom passed away he literally stopped everything in his stream to give his condolences and he sent me a BDA hoodie and T shirt for free. His community showed so much love to me as well. It’s something I will never forget.

[@jacobfuernstahl7445]

Rest In Peace to your mom🙏

Someday when Zinni retires he needs to become a content creator for OpTic. Can you imagine the content with Zinni and Seth and all the other OpTic guys. Would be straight comedy and entertaining as hell.

I really hope when Zinni retires, OpTic can pick him up as a content creator because the guy is absolutely hilarious, clearly has a good relationship with the boys and is always upbeat and has good vibes!

[@elijahjones5202]

His content is actually good and his personality I can see him doing content with optic 100%

[@splash8594]

I actually hope he goes to a different cod franchise as a content creator. He's so entertaining I think he could really boost an entire brand like Seth and nade did. OpTic need competition in the cod scene and I think zin is the perfect person to make that happen. Look how many fans Boston has already, 80-90% of that is because of him alone

[@Timlin22]

@@splash8594 I could see him returning to Toronto if he wanted to do content. I'm sure Ultra would be down to have him back and from what I've heard Zinni enjoyed Toronto and enjoyed his time with the team (apart from being dropped of course). Not saying he will but I think it's a possibility if he doesn't end up back at Optic or staying with Boston.

[@aquasonic3677]

I honestly see him fit better with optic but I would not be surprised if he tries to go to 100T

[@alejandroparada2886]

If anyone reads this. This man Zinni, NO BULL$h!T reached out to me once on twitter when I was having dark thoughts. I'm risking being ridiculed for thinking this is fake, but I just want people to know this man Zinni really is an amazing person. I am so glad to see all the success he has had. I appreciate this man taking even a minute out of his day to check on some idiot like me. Love ya Z!

[@goodterms925]

That’s raises my respect for Winni, and I appreciate you for sharing brother ✊🏾 have a good day homie.

[@Tation16]

I love how much Zinni talks about being on the Eavesdrops on stream and he finally does it. WINNI and ZinCity

[@lukeskif]

This is the very first episode that choked me up a bit.. didn’t expect it but, talking about mental health, depression, etc.. always gets me.. I’m not a very open person with anyone, including family, and I know that doesn’t make me strong at all and I hope I can get past that issue where I can finally feel free to open up to someone. I’ve went through a bit of depression/anxiety, and it kills me everytime when someone says “stop being sad, just be happy”.. it fucking destroys me when someone feels it’s okay to say that shit.. but anyway, loved the episode guys, keep it up Hector, I look forward to these as always man 💚

Zinni is so likeable man. Love his streams and glad he's back in league. Guy really does care about his supporters which makes it easy to reciprocate. He'll definitley become a monster when he takes up full time content.

[@tomslck_]

You got people like me and others who’s been watching Seth and the boys for 8+ years you could call it a cult but it’s really a journey of a man we all wanna see succeed.

[@jakeonyx4775]

we accept that theres times where he cant be constantly streaming and making content and that just makes it even better when he comes back.

[@Blaacker]

Top 10 podcast ep from you. So much cod history right here (you understand if you were keeping up with the comp scene from the early days) and this convo is so genuine and down to earth. it’s like hector is mentoring him during this while also receiving beneficial insight from zinni.

[@Badcompany316]

That's the only thing I don't like about these. He talks over people sometimes.

[@bobbysnipes1189]

What a beautifully lovely conversation, been watching ya’ll for the last 12 years. Appreciate the convo fam.

[@scottcaron5167]

I was waiting for Methodz to come on the podcast, its great to see him get his due with the Boston Breach. It's sick to hear that he will be out near Patriot Place. I am out of the Boston area as well and would love to connect with Methodz to help get his KZbin going again. I edit gaming videos with my friends, but would love to be apart of what he is building and get some vods into youtube videos especially being in the same area as well. He probably wont see this, but I hope I can connect with Zin! Props to Hecz on keeping the podcast going.

[@robertwlovett]

Haven't really sat down and watched much of Zinni, but sounds like he's got his head on straight and knows what he wants. Will certainly go give him a follow.

[@TheManic1112]

Hecz doesn’t let his guests talk enough

[@reacts359]

I love zin such a good guy, so happy to see him back in the league.

[@JokerSlaysthegame]

Damn I’m only like 20 minutes in but this has genuinely been such a real convo. Zin talkin about how his friendships changed off one joke hit me in the feels

[@wardogsmokes]

I'm 5min in and I already know this is gonna be a 🔥 conversation. You can tell by hecz's engaging body language. Methodz is great on camera and audio; I can't wait to see (a well deserved) Optic before his name in a few years 👀

[@jakeonyx4775]

its gonna happen for sure, hell blow up even more

[@SamDawzon]

Zin is the funniest Cod personality by a mile to me. Just naturally funny

[@mistacorr3348]

Can someone please tell Hecz that people want to listen to his guests? Genuinely want to hear what Methodz has to say but hard to when Hecz is talking about himself and how much of a great businessman he is for the majority

[@NUTTSwagger]

He definitely does his Diva thing from time to time and has to have the last word instead of letting someone finish a thought. It's not trolly, it's constructive criticism.

[@dinora9535]

I’m sure the business man inside Hecz still has an issue with Zin. The people you TRULY want by your side in life will never do anything resembling a backstab. Not saying it’s a big deal, but Hecz ain’t an idiot

[@abcdefg9163]

Literally all he does he's so jarring.turns every topic into 'working hard' which then leads to how good he has done with optic and how other orgs need to do as good.

[@maxpayne5136]

@@abcdefg9163 totally true.

[@capgod2219]

He definitely has some narcissist tendencies

[@mq2823]

Winni is IMO one the best personality’s in COD, he really cares about and looks out for his community. I don’t have say anything other than just read some of the comments. I love watching this guy compete, on the flank or even moonlight as Fat Tony on GTA. Dude is talented and I hope he continues to grow. Him and Seth are and Timmy are one of the few COD personality’s that have it all and can do it all. It it is truly a please to watch this man work and succeed. I am so glad Hector had him on, Zinni if you see this I wish you the best my brother keep on keeping it real and you will always succeed. Much love and I am Optic till I die but a breach can unless your playing Optic ✌🏼🤙🏻

[@TechzyTV]

This was a prefect representation of 2 powerhouse speakers exchanging flows in speech. both have strong ability to take the audiences attention. it sounds like they are overtalking each other but really they are both listening to each and everyword each other is saying. BRAVO. Zinni would kill it as a podcast host.

[@n3m3g4y8]

Revisiting this podcast, it was super cool to have Zinni on OpTic for the time he was. Whether or not the team meshed is besides the issue. I know everything is done in the best interest of the team, but Zinni brought unmatched vibes. He and Seth together was a power combo, they both are great in front of the camera. Wish Dill had a chance to be on that team because the 3 of them together would have been hilarious. Keep up the work Hector, and don’t go to hard on my boy Matty ;) went to school with him, remember the day I found out he was going to work for you!

Sometimes you don’t have to bring everything back to you. It’s important to let the guests lead the conversation. Branch of what they’re saying isntead of bringing the whole topic into your side of your life

He has to bring everything back to himself and his own life because he seems to be a Narcissist…I have a friend who does the same shit it really gets annoying after a while

[@LightsPlaysMW2]

Hecz, you should do an Eavesdrop episode with Jude. Building the brand and having to go home to the family. How it effected life with your transition from being in the real estate business to the life of building optic and taking that chance. Another point you could talk about is how she felt when your baby (OpTic) got sold and the emotions and stuff to get it back. Ive been watching since the m40a3 days of cod 4. Loving what you guys do and what youve done and still do for this community

[@LightsPlaysMW2]

[@tylerwilliams99]

I was born in 99 and I am right in-between what you guys grew up with to the newer generation. It was always weird because my older brother was born in 90 but and grew up on Super Nintendo and game cube etc. I was the exact same way tho I would play on older gen stuff since I was 4 years old but we wouldn’t play very much and we’d go outside whether it was boating and jet skiing or fishing hunting or catch but when we all got older it was Xbox and cod, halo, assassins creed, etc. but we all still did sports and other activities. I myself am a college athlete, but I still love gaming and competing in video games. So for me it really was both going outside but we also played a shit ton of video games. But I would agree that now it almost seems as if sports are dying but very slowly with the big rise of esports. Even tho I’m an athlete I’ve never been big into watching sports I would way rather watch a cod tournament way more than a football game, but I think that mainly comes from being closer to esports athletes like I can wake up and watch scump streams and videos and interact with him day to day but I could never do that with a professional athlete.
