"I mean... he was just frying" God man Karma's energy is just so unmatched the guy is the goat for a reason. Especially with him and Formal in the same podcast! Ooooh man this podcast is going to be a good one!😂

[@blakeacri5182]

MBoze is one of my favorite guests. Always good vibes and funny af. Good group for the pod today 🤙🏻

[@AndreYT10]

As much as I love hecz talking about the metaverz for nearly forty minutes, it was a breath of fresh air with these four at the desk.

[@bb-zt8ve]

you guys should host a poker game w/ everyone on optic, would be good content

[@costanza7013]

Great idea tbh

[@tannerunger3338]

YES

[@rnz1er]

it should def be a livestream tho

[@t0x1cDr3am]

Less hecz on the podcast. This one was great. Hecz talks the most and about the same thing every time. That man is on everything lmao. Said with love.

[@gabrieltorres1929]

We love hecz but there’s so many people in optic that could be on the podcast instead, they gotta call up big T and Karma more often

[@themachine1679]

Finally a podcast with no crypto, metaverse, or nft talk let’s goooooooo!!!

[@search1159]

Gotta love when hecz is too busy to be on! 🤣 all man talks about is crypto and meta

[@fuckbrendan363]

don’t disrespect papa hecz

[@o.3313]

Nah

[@Wander6543]

Man is oblivious in that space too lmao😂 anyone involved w the metaverse and web3 would laugh listening to Hecz talk about it🤣

[@gunsdoyoga7960]

Lmao thought I was the only one sick of that

[@Fantasizeism]

Love h3cz but bruh… let the other people talk and stop talking about the same thing.

[@mrfrost8973]

The end of this podcast is how they all should be that shit was funny as hell and them scary ass stuff had be cryinnn

[@jalenarmijo7071]

What video is he trying

[@drakeanton2000]

We love Hector but we need a break from Crypto and Metaverse talk

[@RemixSpace]

true

[@MrBearrHD]

One time they were talking about optic val winning the tournament and he changed the subject to Iceland like bro ….

[@Kevinoo1414]

@@MrBearrHD that’s probably because the Val tourney was in Iceland ….

[@Spryze]

@@MrBearrHD Reykjavik is in iceland

[@costanza7013]

@@MrBearrHD hecz trying to expand your mind makes you upset🤣. The crypto and metaverse was annoying tbh but he's tryna make bread I can't hate

[@Leavur]

" oh we're on the podium? lets go! " LMAO matt's voice during that was comedy

[@wolfschool612]

Yo props to Jordan for holding his own against the best of the best. Knew you coul,d was just nice to see you show all these young kids that don't know what's up.

[@chacklidell]

? He's only 23

[@wolfschool612]

@@chacklidell Yeah and in this day and age of COD the scene is flooded with children who claim that's too old for COD

[@shanemorris8170]

Formal talking about Toronto was hilarious.🤣🤣🤣

[@zetshyl3433]

The nomad at the end and their reaction killed me and freaked me out!

[@nathanharris1905]

This episode was fire 🔥. Love the chemistry these guys have.

[@ego2871]

what a good 4 man honestly. love all 4 these guys could listen to them talk for hours on end. (hitch is an amazing host btw)

[@northgoatscrew]

bout time damon crawled outa the den for a podcast his insight is so unique i love it

[@hek1801]

love the chill episodes ! staying on topic & not switching to random meta talk 😂

[@YasminNZed]

Damon’s finally on a podcasttt 🐐

[@siilkyjohnson5779]

Okkkkaayyyy solid line up for this episode 🔥🔥

[@yooyo8303]

Yo this one was funny asf. They should have another podcast where it’s just the the boys, like who ever would want to be on that week could be on and they could just talk about whatever for however long. If they’d want to

[@blaize777]

this would actually be heat

[@2d780]

I died when Boze stated "yo he comin through da wire" straight facts but I still don't understand that shit LMAO

[@SmallzV1]

Love this podcast! Hitch leads these so well now, Boze is always hilarious, Formal is the ultimate vibe and I hope Karma keeps doing more content. Loving the variety they have been putting out with who is on the podcast!

[@CARADYK]

Matt consistently has the best takes

[@Hiddenbarbar]

it’s the same take over and over

[@skondawg]

I have no idea what it is but this podcast is so easy to listen to. I don’t even care about cod anymore… I just love checking in with these personalities. Never miss an episode, love you guys keep it up.

[@KTwistt]

this pod was exteremly enjoyable, I know everyone listening was shook when damon confirmed he's the nomad 😂

[@danielcorby6346]

Quality group on this one, all joining in. Best bit was Boze describing his memory of Harry Potter

[@heavensplayer]

Lmao

[@Vinseenit]

Actually good podcast, need to watch all the one's I've missed

[@crziq7884]

Great line up on the pod this week

[@Noskii]

Still waiting on that OpTic Poker tournament! That would be so good

[@boodabless3784]

Such a good episode!! Hilarious af

[@PatrickBateman484]

More Karma please 😎🐐

[@drjack7245]

this mightve been my favorite pod😂😂 good ass group

[@jeffreyrice3166]

Finally the podcast isn’t 90% hecz just talking about him self, we all here for the players

[@ethanmoore4314]

Don’t disrespect hector like that if u were a multi millionaire you wouldn’t be the slightest bit humble. And some of it is jokingly

[@nukkue6288]

"What does that mean, heresay?" *all heads turn to the camera/screen* 😂😂😂😂😂

[@CarlosGarcia-dv1ud]

No Hecz ? This bouta be lit

[@AdamIsmail905]

Mean but true cuz sometimes it’s gotta be just the sons and no papa. Hecz will understand..

[@CarlosGarcia-dv1ud]

@@AdamIsmail905 no hate on the goat 🐐 just better when they switch up the rotation imo

[@joeymiller5055]

Cap. Hecz is a legend. These guys wouldn’t be who they are without Optic. They would be gamers and famous but not like are now.

[@costanza7013]

There's literally no structure when hecz is gone. Yeah he talks alot but we get way more actually topics when hecz is there. 12:55 these things don't happen when hecz is there lol. It's cool with just the boys but it's chaos

[@Imponicle]

@@costanza7013 actual topics aren’t anywhere near as entertaining as just listening to them talk normally

[@ammxarr]

this was honestly the funniest one ive watched yet

[@scumbagfrag]

One Of My Favorite Episodes

[@KooFsWing]

im glad you guys talked about the johnny thing it seemed like you guys avoided it for a few weeks

[@joeymiller5055]

Lmao “illey isn’t missing it”. Plays one game. Shoutout to Jordan, he’s been solid. I’ve always like general , since e6. Guy was a menace.

[@WobblyRooster]

I like general too but dudes been incredibly average since e6. Legally changed his name to be average. Pretty cringe honestly

[@jrodonthebeat]

@@WobblyRooster i heard of this but is it actuallly deadass? his last name really is general?

[@matchress3832]

@@jrodonthebeat he changed his last name because he has personal issues with his biological father, not because of some other shit this moron is tryna say. He doesn't wanna be associated with his dad and changed his last name.

[@matchress3832]

If you want to learn about the main reason why, just go watch episode 56 of the Eavesdrop with Hecz and Jordon and he explains it there (specifically around the 44 minute mark)

[@kazirahman7812]

Do you know why him and his mom changed their last name? It was to separate himself from his biological father, who blocked him from attending his brothers funeral. Saying he changed his name “to be average” is incredibly insensitive.

[@drewwood9410]

Formal made a good point about convincing a jury if you're feeling yourself that day, compared to somebody who might not be mentally prepared.

[@diegocatu1273]

THIS PODCAST WAS SO GOOD 😭😭😭

[@zachpeck374]

That whole Nomad bit with Damon blew my mind lmao I had to write it out to make sure I wasn’t trippin 😂

[@purpgotbeamz9769]

Would love to see Formal on apex 🔥🔥

[@ivanbautista1762]

This episode was awesome!

[@bunszheider376]

You awesome

[@jaysuav]

The most underrated part of these podcasts is always the ad-reads 😂😂😂

[@harman476]

this was a fire squad

[@bulletsGALORE]

"KNIGHT TO E5!!!" I had a good ol belly laugh when I heard that

[@phredo2462]

i tip boze for cracking top 250, would never guess my man still had the thumbs

[@matchress3832]

Hey Matty or whoever edits this, would you be able to throw in the timestamps onto the video for the different topics? Would be nice to be able to click through stuff. Thanks lads

[@Sean-xh2te]

Hitch doin the ads always has me rollin lol

[@phredo2462]

I deadass could listen to formal for hours

[@LayLow797]

Dope to see two Goats on the podcast. Optic never fails with the content!!

[@EdddieJay]

[@daverik]

"ou... ooohhh" lmaooo "nomad" thats crazyyy lmaooo

Hitch is such an optic defender. I LOVE IT

[@brandoncuriel6362]

“Whoever Tom is” 😂😂 lmaooooo

Everytime hitch brings up some sort of cheat “👀 I DIDNT DO IT” 😂

[@joeybadazz3]

No more hecz, 🤣🤣 love this podcast

[@heezymd]

Goat Barlow just blew their minds with "nomaD" lol

[@Sarg3e]

Ok, comment number 2 now. This pod has been an A+. Great foursome. That story about the guy living in that couples house reminds me of the movie Real Genius. Laslo, if you haven’t seen it you should. Great 80s comedy with Val Kilmer

[@mellomoose_]

love seeing big barlow on the podcast

[@KreamS0DA]

Everytime hitch is on I want his coffee. I know that nitro cold brew slaps if he always has one

It's an Italian thing my dad grew up in Brooklyn NY and he still to this day says Grammar School even tho "Elementary School" is part of every school name around us

[@ethanmoore4314]

it’s crazy how that cellium 4 piece on gridlock at the bo4 qualifier is still talked about.

[@kryptiTV]

im from Chicago and i say grammar school lmao. Also Apex comp continues to evolve and their new spectating mode is dope

[@gagedieterle9503]

We came back from the ad break and clearly everyone hit the Pine Park

[@zeerpy6364]

Only problem with ALGS format is imagine your at 50 points for 5 games then someone in the 4th game wins the 5th. It doesn’t really show whos best rather than a team is just griefing you and forgets about the other teams. It has its pros and cons

[@PlagueFather]

Best podcast ep

[@matchress3832]

Good thing for Jordon is that he got back in and he fried FaZe. Hyped

[@nathanvasquez2861]

The edibles definitely hit half way through recording this😂

Grammar school is a thing lol

it’s called phrogging when they’re talking abt people living in your attic and shit. there’s a movie called I SEE YOU it’s abt it. good movie

[@siilkyjohnson5779]

F1 you get points throughout the season that's why even 6th place isn't bad. As long as you're getting some points it's been a good weekend of racing
