[@ap32thrillz96]

I like the video before it even starts

[@TheAlemeldevil]

lOVE you guys and been actively following you for the longest time, the idea behind this podcast was GREAT but pleaaaaase let the celebrity guest talk more next time, you guys are the goats!

[@tomaac]

Crofty and Ted should do that

[@Ahl3rt]

Ive never seen a group knowing so little about F1 talking to an f1 driver 😂

[@jey7230]

That was hard to watch lol how clueless they are about F1… right now the only sports I follow are F1 and the cdl so it was nice to see the collab but I wished they at least tried to inform themselves before having this podcast with such a good driver

[@Ahl3rt]

@@jey7230 Exactly! & I found it a bit disrespectful how many times they interrupted him. Let the man speak damn.. bit of an awkward podcast to watch imo

[@Seanclipsnstuff]

Hugely disrespectful the guy on the far right couldn’t be less engaged who are these clowns today even back in CoD2-CoD4 Promod days optic are a joke to this day they show the same level of lacklustre, what a grift

[@ghost-whitesand9447]

@@Seanclipsnstuff it’s just a matter of wrong people to be on this podcast… if you got Hitch/BigT in this, they’d probably have been talking F1. (They’re probably the most serious)

[@brandonsarlo101]

I think Lando might’ve been able to say 5 sentences without being interrupted the entire podcast this was awful 😂

[@deltarine9028]

They need what joe rogan does with his pod cast, he wears the headphones because if its the same audio level it’ll make talking over each other less, I explained it terribly but you get the gist.

[@Helltee]

I don't know how you can fuck up a podcast with one of the most open, outgoing personalities in sport.. but you just did.

[@stuson]

Lol bud just keep listening it gets worse

[@lou-zs1dz]

thats what i was thinking!! they always cut him off its horrible

[@costanza7013]

Like brining a new friend home, everybody just saying things at him instead of getting to know him

[@juanflores247]

Love the podcasts. But man let Lando speak and answer questions without interrupting pleaseeeeee

[@codyhardy747]

It was a shit podcast tbh

[@interwebsmatt]

I hope that future guests get more focus, the most important thing someone can give you is their time.

[@OrionInSpace]

Getting a big name like Lando Norris on the podcast is massive for F1 fans who might not know of OpTic, and I am not much of an F1 fan like I used to be and so this is cool!!

[@imcracked4045]

I was wondering who this guy was. I just assumed he played on some other Optic pro team

[@dasaasadaris3675]

Bro this ain't an interview. This 2 dudes jabbering and Lando's just there

[@andreicmello]

You are able to sit down with one of the most famous people on the planet and barely let him speak. Good job.

[@farret1998]

Man they sounded so excited hahaha they couldn’t let poor lando speak sometimes. Understandably

[@rnz1er]

Sebas was incredible with the questions on this podcast. please put him in these types of podcasts more.

thank god sebas was there to ask questions. haha

[@luisguzman9754]

Podcast was okay, was really excited to see Lando with optic!!! Especially being a big optic fan & F1 fan, but I feel the boys got too excited & star struck and couldn't figure how to act lol. Shot out to Sebas though really like how he handled the podcast!

Sebas and Scump saved this podcast fr. Lando deserved a better interview. Go on Hot Ones would love to get this interview with a good host

[@KMCruz14]

I love these guys but I have to agree, they had no idea what to talk about. They shouldve tried to connect F1 questions with gaming and expand to ask interesting questions😪

oh and cutting him off SO much

love this. Love lando love f1. matched up with optic dream come true

[@tekkerz3183]

Wow what a random crossover never saw this one coming love f1 and the Greenwall!

[@eichdee3]

Great crossover and everything, really loved being able to watch my 2 biggest "hobbies" come together. But next time you have someone this famous you should let Hitch run the podcast, I love HECZ but he just talks to much about himself and/or cod so it comes out as disrespectful to the guest. Same happens with scump, which I would probably prefer someone like BigT or even Formal to replace him with since they are better at talking of other people unlike Seth, who brings a style of conversation that only really suits in if everyone in the podcast knows the cod scene. Honestly if Zin was there it would have probably been better if he was in the podcast cause he's also said he's watches a bit of F1 in the past. Sebas I think made a really good job though and came out as very respectful since he was pretty much the only one bringing Lando into the convo. I understand they want the biggest faces of OpTic (HECZ and Scump) to be in the podcast with such a famous person, but it unfortunately doesn't suit the situation. I'm sure you'll improve in the future and ofcourse hope to see more "celebrities" come to the podcast! 😊

[@Cant111]

I don't think they really understand how famous/big stars F1 drivers are. Netflix doc really just started F1 following in the US, they must think F1 drivers are "new generation stars", they must not know they've been WORLD stars for decades, ike football and basketball players

[@eichdee3]

@@Cant111 True, but thats also kind of the issue. They didn't have enough respect towards the guest to the point of learning at least a bit about F1 before the podcast. Something that I could very much see someone like Hitch or BigT doing. But even then, Seth and Hecz are just personalities that just talk a lot about themselves or cod, that works wonders if it's just a chill podcast with no guests, but doesn't work at all and comes out as disrespectful if there are guests

[@bubbywhips]

This was so rad i love Lando

[@jshotgaming2989]

Just watched The Process 🔥 amazing!!!!

[@cleanuponaisle4403]

[@Dallas096909]

Great Podcast!!!

[@r.omi98]

you guys asked questions and didn’t let lando answer lmaoo

[@amarshallvt]

So crazy hearing them talk about F1 and know nothing about it. Freakin love it. When Hecz asked if he’s ever been in an accident and Lando says “Spa” and they just have blank looks. The kid had one of the biggest scariest crashes at one of the most famous tracks that was so bad they changed the turn profile. And Lando is trying to explain it like they are a bunch of toddlers. If y’all start chatting with real stars, y’all need a producer to give y’all a bit of background research!

You get one of the best ambassadors for their sport and barely let him talk lmao. Gotta take notes from 100Ts podcast with lando next time

[@fordsrbad51]

I really hope the Optic boys know how lucky they are to have Lando on the podcast. As much of a feat Optic has done for gaming around the world, having a Formula 1 driver the calibre of Lando in their presence is like having a top Olympian or Football (soccer) player on the podcast. F1 is a behemoth and is a leading light in the sporting world where there are only 20 people in the world talented enough to make the cut. For me this will become a heritage and milestone moment for Optic. Long live Optic Gaming and all who can call themselves part of the Greenwall!

[@Seanclipsnstuff]

What a shame they were very rude/disrespectful in this interview

[@sheltondmello8031]

@@Seanclipsnstuff they weren't rude they just don't know when to let the guest speak lmao

[@Cant111]

I tried to comment like you but my english is broken. They must think they are "new generation stars", but Schumacher or Hamilton have been top 5 worldstars in the world for the past 25 years or so. But glad to see this podcast happen, I hope more top sports players will be in the podcast

Scump definitely deserves a gold medal for the questions he asked in this video. Imagine if scump had a podcast 🤩🤩🤩

[@justG29]

Don’t know if anyone will care to read this but my two cents on how I think it could improve Hector: invest some of that time “not doing anything” into researching your guests if you have another celebrity or athlete like Lando again, just putting that effort into knowing about them helps for a better episode. -letting the guest have more of the spotlight and talk about experiences, sharing stories I think Sebas did a great job shifting focus back on to Lando when hector and Seth would go off topic and talk

[@pietheijn-vo1gt]

I didn't think it was possible but you made Lando look boring, congrats
