hitch and maniac went outside the “normal lines” of media which is religion and personal beliefs and i gotta say.. y’all did both a very respectful and tippable job. Hands down one of the best works and ik y’all’s best year is comin up 🤝
I would have never expected to hear you watch Phoenix Resale Hitch. Guy is out here on his grind, don’t know if you’ve seen his collection series but his Gamecube Gambit where he collected a list of Gamecube games was super nostalgic for me as someone who grew up with a lot of those games. Seeing how he resells to build his budget, TH-cam has so many different communities you’ll never know about unless you are after it.
As a Christian, I really like that you guys are open to talking about this stuff toward the end. I've had to deconstruct some of my beliefs as a Christian to align with what the Bible "actually" says, and not what people have misinterpreted it to say. Continue to explore it! I hate that many Christians have tried to force there beliefs on other people and end up hurting them. We got to do better! There's so much evidence to prove that Jesus was a human who came to the Earth, died, and rose from the grave. God loves you all so much. It's not about religion, it's about relationship🙏🏼
Same with TH-cam, I have like 2 shows that I watch with my family every week, but pretty much everything else I watch is TH-cam. And I had that same kind of “a-ha moment”, was thinking how much I missed watching skateboarding, BMX, etc on TV as a kid, and was like “wait a minute, I bet there are a ton of those kinds of videos on TH-cam” and it sounds corny, but that like opened up a whole new way of thinking about TH-cam for me. Like I used to pretty much just watch gameplay videos or vlogs by gamers, but now it’s become pretty much anything I’ve ever been curious about. Like I’ll watch “day in the life of a D1 athlete”, “day in the life of a firefighter”, apartment/house tours from different cities and countries, etc, just anything I find myself wondering about
I like the universe, galaxy, alien, "why are we here?" "What is the point?" Talk. This stuff bugs me every single day and it seems like a majority of people dont like to talk about that stuff. I think its truly too scary for some to think about but we must keep our minds open to every and all possibilities. "Out there" is a infinitely expansive, interesting but also spooky place. Who knows what could exist beyond what our brains could even TRY to comprehend. Damn, that PinePark hittin'...
Been watching you both since 2016. I appreciate opening the door to deeper conversations like this. I am a believer in Jesus but still enjoy listening to these viewpoints. You are both asking a lot of questions many people, even in the church, ask themselves all the time.
Nick should do more irl content and take that more seriously. Chat really loves when he does the cooking and irl streams. Maybe investing into a stream setup for his kitchen and getting an irl backpack and branching out. Would be so funny to have nick show up at the office mid day on stream. Obviously covering the video when he needs to in the building.
I think the point of subscribers has lost its value. I hardly EVER look at my subscriptions list. It's almost always the first page where recommendations sit is where I start up TH-cam 90% of the time. It's absurd that when channels have millions of subscribers but they only get thousands of views. It's obvious that the algorithm does cater towards subscriptions anymore. It's the thumbnails titles, and retention.
I feel like the Optic crew and I watch all the same TH-cam content! Hitch is the third member who has mentioned a channel (Phoenix Resale) that I watch too!
Hitch, something that i feel like that could’ve helped get more eyes with the modded Pokémon video would’ve been to collaborate with someone from that scene before releasing the modded video. It could have brought more eyes to the Pokémon video which would help bring another scene to understand who’s OpTic, 100T, etc. Just a thought and I’m not trying to hate if it seems like it.
Nick, have you tried adding TikTok, TH-cam shorts, and Instagram reels? Most people I’ve seen recently “pop off” begin and grow the most on those platforms or services.
I’m dead ass if I wanna unwind I check if there’s any OpTic content that I have missed. If not I watch some TH-cam videos or twitch. Tv is dead unless it’s a good series (Obviously tho). Movies are cool too.
I’ve been a long time listener of the flycast and I very much enjoyed hearing you guys talk about the Bible and being a christian. There’s a lot of stuff you talked about that I’d love to be able to talk about with you, it’s just a lot for a TH-cam comment. So if you see this or would be interested in talking more about just let me know!
There’s an option on Twitter to change your algorithm from “For You” like how tiktok does it to who you follow like before. The option is on the top right for those who don’t know
Talking about the views on different optic vids like the dr disrespect one ITS THE TH-cam algorithm! I never saw that video in my feed I have to go look for when y’all upload content that isn’t the optic cast and fly cast
Maniac don’t realise it but he’s the most down to earth real geezer in the gaming space right now . Hitch you alright but need to stop smoking that loud pack before pods
Nick, as you age you will care less and less about other's negativity. Trust, unfortunately it seems to happen later in life. It happen to me in my 40's.
Going off what Hitch was saying about the th OpTic Vlog views. Idk why but I still haven’t seen the Dr. Disrespect vlog. I just have no desire to watch that video. It’s weird
Fact of the matter is Douglas “Censor” Martin is one of the most OpTimistic people ever and would absolutely shit on 98% of these trolls saying he’s bad lmao
jeans are a jersey thing and ask him about jersey and other then tracks where he would ride his bike wanna know if he's "pit certified" he will understand
My question to god would be what’s my purpose to where I need to be here on earth to live a happy life everyday and help other people in life that are struggling to be happy I do that to this day every time I can even if it’s just buying someone’s Starbucks drink behind me or their food it’s good for the soul an keeps me humble in life an that’s all I need I have my amazing family an few amazing friends an I stay loving everyone everyday no matter what, we are out here to be together not fighting with eachother 24/7 like the world is I can’t stand it. ❤
If i was ever gonna get into the streaming/making videos for a living, id definitely try to cultivate an audience how Mr. Summit1G did. He grew an amazing community of people who tune into his stuff FOR him. And I believe that is the best audience to have. It grows slow but it last longer. in my opinion. So yeah guys, just upload/stream.
Loved the opening energy, that "SIT YOUR ASS DOWN" had me dying haha
Love listening to the flycast when my anxiety is kicking my ass at night
hitch and maniac went outside the “normal lines” of media which is religion and personal beliefs and i gotta say.. y’all did both a very respectful and tippable job. Hands down one of the best works and ik y’all’s best year is comin up 🤝
love you guys
im in the same algo slump too..
keep grinding boys!
love you both
Stay Fly!!!!
I love when y’all talk about the emotion behind making content. I always learn a lot and also horseradish stinks

Gamecube Gambit is a godlike series for a nostalgic gamecube fan
Nah trust me hitch, we all watch TH-cam. Ain’t nobody watching tv anymore

Hitch you single handedly inspired us to start TGB. Love how much knowledge y’all drop on the behind the scenes during these fly casts
Hitch talking bout Rampage Poker? Hell yeah! ♠

Still no likes or replies, told you nobody likes to talk or think about it
6:50 and Nick, I'm sending you love brother 😂 I feel it though bro we're on this planet together why can't we unite.
Always looking forward to the flyest! Shit yo ass down, it’s time, for FLY! 🙌🏻☝🏻
Love seeing an optic add while watching and optic video
45:45 "I don't like this, it gives me anxiety "😂😂😂
I died when you said that
Been watching you both since 2016. I appreciate opening the door to deeper conversations like this. I am a believer in Jesus but still enjoy listening to these viewpoints. You are both asking a lot of questions many people, even in the church, ask themselves all the time.
“I actually saw that guy, and I just thought he was on drugs” 😂😂😂😂😂😂 that fuckin GOT me lol

Just a thought and I’m not trying to hate if it seems like it.
laughing at how sometimes after watching twitch and then going to live sports, I’ll instinctively want to type something into live chat hahah
Nick, have you tried adding TikTok, TH-cam shorts, and Instagram reels?
Most people I’ve seen recently “pop off” begin and grow the most on those platforms or services.
I watched a decent amount of the Pokémon mod on stream, and the video is well paced. Weird it got no Pokémon TH-cam traction
I’m dead ass if I wanna unwind I check if there’s any OpTic content that I have missed. If not I watch some TH-cam videos or twitch. Tv is dead unless it’s a good series (Obviously tho). Movies are cool too.

Very impressed you brought up Ryan Depaulos poker World Series win Hitch! Well played
It’s funny how I knew exactly which Ryan DePaulo video hitch was talking about 😂😂 love y’all
"some people like horseradish" lmfao best way to put it
Did you drop a download for the pokemon game
Something I fell in love with was Sim Racing it’s a lot of fun getting better at it, I also see Crimsix has gotten into it and is progressing in it.
Hitch, TST should do 100 hours of Escape from Tarkov
Wheres Matt and Rogers podcast at?
There’s an option on Twitter to change your algorithm from “For You” like how tiktok does it to who you follow like before. The option is on the top right for those who don’t know
I think the Doc video might have slipped because some people are still salty about his nft or whatever with his game. Maybe not, but could be
please restock the Optic FC jerseys
Keep searching homies! this was very interesting and made my day what y’all are talking about❤ much love god bless!
“Not saying if you like horseradish you’re a piece of shit” 😂😂😂
God: what questions do you have for me
Hecz: Who are you today?
shit i dont even watch tv any more. half the time im either watching twitch or youtube videos/podcasts only.
Much love to you both
Free eMattCraig
Talking about the views on different optic vids like the dr disrespect one ITS THE TH-cam algorithm! I never saw that video in my feed I have to go look for when y’all upload content that isn’t the optic cast and fly cast
Hitch talking about Ryan Depaulo is something I never imagined
😭😭😭 I love this pod so much
Niac fan 4life
Electronic Matt Craig for the flycast
Also Hecz is 43 I think, still looking good
The tst pokemon video was really good I remember watching it n wanting to see more
Aye man ! What happened to y’all unique thumbnails
Hey Hitch! How’s Brandon from NC doing??
58:49 he's saying you have to be willing to expect God before he can except you
I went back and downloaded Sangria and had alot of fun! the video was cool as hell to!
i love listening to your guys thoughts
I loved the Pokémon game hitch I always wanted a rom download to be able to nuzlocke it!
Great pod for sure
Best intro yet tbh
I loved the OpTic vlog
love nick but glad hitch is on this with him so he doesn’t get himself canceled 😂
It’s all about passion man ppl will watch ppl who are passionate about what they are doing. Passion niches man
Maniac don’t realise it but he’s the most down to earth real geezer in the gaming space right now . Hitch you alright but need to stop smoking that loud pack before pods
Nick, as you age you will care less and less about other's negativity. Trust, unfortunately it seems to happen later in life. It happen to me in my 40's.
Question for god would be how close have I been to dying like some final destination shit. Probably have a newfound appreciation for life
Going off what Hitch was saying about the th OpTic Vlog views. Idk why but I still haven’t seen the Dr. Disrespect vlog. I just have no desire to watch that video. It’s weird
Fun fact: Did you know Topanga from boy meets world is a battle rap fan, knows Chilla Jones
Still in here @ 45:05. Goats 🐐

Good ass convo love the flycast!
Electronic Matthew needs to join next episode
I guarantee you I am lit-er-all-y watching this podcast episode multiple times.
Intro game crazy
even if nick got the answer to his question to god what closure does that give you?
There’s a chat for nba games on streameast it’s just trolling most of the time
hearing hitch talk about ryan depaulo was fucking hilarious lmaooo
Fact of the matter is Douglas “Censor” Martin is one of the most OpTimistic people ever and would absolutely shit on 98% of these trolls saying he’s bad lmao
To get on that Universe topic, our planet is just a bit of star debris left over after the sun formed😁
Solid convo
The poker guy your talking about is called "ryan de paulo".
I got 32nd in the actual wsop poker main event in 2019 with millions up top . Great to see other people getting hyped about the game I love.
Lots of us pro poker players are obsessed with cod too by the way. We play nearly every night after we're done playing online.
Always a dope time
The last 15 mins was hilarious LMAOOOO
I also go to TH-cam for my entertainment. And Nick's video showed up both times in my sub box
Best intro ever
I definitely get home and turn on TH-cam the second I sit down
y’all need to get formal on there
flycast is the best shit on da web
Boys. I’m training to be a pastor right now. I will come on for theology podcast.
eMattCraig on the Flycast needs to happen. I’m patient, but my fellow people on the Greenwall seem to be antsy
jeans are a jersey thing and ask him about jersey and other then tracks where he would ride his bike wanna know if he's "pit certified" he will understand
To be fair I didn’t watch Dr. Disrespect video because I felt like optic was about to take the faze route and recruit big stars
The flycast is the realest! tell me different
We need electronic Matt Craig on the Flycast!
My question to god would be what’s my purpose to where I need to be here on earth to live a happy life everyday and help other people in life that are struggling to be happy I do that to this day every time I can even if it’s just buying someone’s Starbucks drink behind me or their food it’s good for the soul an keeps me humble in life an that’s all I need I have my amazing family an few amazing friends an I stay loving everyone everyday no matter what, we are out here to be together not fighting with eachother 24/7 like the world is I can’t stand it. ❤
LETS GO ELECTRONIC MATTHEW ON THE NEXT FLYCAST
fumes is a good analogy
If i was ever gonna get into the streaming/making videos for a living, id definitely try to cultivate an audience how Mr. Summit1G did. He grew an amazing community of people who tune into his stuff FOR him. And I believe that is the best audience to have. It grows slow but it last longer. in my opinion. So yeah guys, just upload/stream.
Luck is where hard work and preparation meets opportunity 😉
