Clay has earned undeniable respect! When he talks I listen

Nah Clay getting dropped after MW was wild. Got robbed of that champs MVP too, he was insane that event.

Yeah I felt like they only gave it to crim because since karma retired they wanted the undisputed goat to still be playing in the leauge and to make it so people can further cement crim as the goat is by giving him champs mvp and for the storyline of him proving optic wrong. Felt it was obviously clay that should've been champs mvp.

with clay being really good at cw, i think they would have won an event if he stayed on empire.

These interviews are amazing. The questions that you have are so well thought out and we really get to know a lot about the person that's being interviewed

Loved every single second of this podcast, I did not skip a single second. Keep killing it Stocks!

First time coming across your stuff and i gotta say you work so well as a interviewer/pod host. You ask great questions and just let the guest just free flow. You and clay look like you've known each other for years. Clay was brilliant on this too!

As a young player i would be trying to get on a team and play with a vet like Clay to learn from him and be taught from one of the greatest ever.

Much respect clay! Definitely one of the goats and a true legend. Can’t wait to see you play this year I’ll be cheering for you brother.❤

About half way through this ep and its my first time watching one of the pods or even Stocksmen but damn I'm surprised he's so good at asking good questions dropping jokes and actually paying attention to what Clay is saying. Great job man I'm subbing and listening to the rest fosho

Love Clay. Stock, you’re a great interviewer. I watched your episode with Lamar and then this one. Keep it up because you’re a talent in this space.

Clay is a legend. Really enjoyed the interview! You asked some pretty thoughtful too, it made for a great conversation to listen to.

Yes Stocks. You're good at this bro! You got a good balance of preparing good questions and bringing your personality across. You got a good natrual energy that makes your guests relax like they're talking to a friend. Keep it up 👊👊👊

Solid questions. Solid podcast. Gladly adding to the repertoire

Great great discussion diving in to the politics of the scene from Clay’s first hand experience

Rooting for Legion last year was some of the most fun I had watching cod. Went in a Clay fan, came out a Clay, Don Don make it rain, TJ and Standy fan.

Audio is crispy on this one! Great podcast thanks for fixing that!

Keep up the great work brotha. Love seeing COD legends on the pod. 🙌🏻

Dude this episode was insane. Very insightful

I think what Val do with the in game bundles 50% funding prize pool would go a very long way to relieving some of the pressure on the CDL teams. Its such a good idea and its criminal that CoD haven't done the same thing, especially when they release so much content based on the teams

Love these podcasts! Keep them coming man great stuff!

Best podcast by far, and I’m only half way through !!!

great questions all around! sick pod

man I love clay. Great questions, great podcast, thank you!

smacked at 4am… clays humility and resilience is fucking undefeated. guy gasses me up anytime he shows up on my feed. straight winner. different breed.

Great interview!

Great video as always

Love how as long as I’ve known Clayster he has always been a diehard STS9 foreverrr mad props 🔥🤘🏼

Also great questions Stock 👌🏻

Clay has some of the best music taste in the scene. Guys a major psychedelic jam head and i love it. And no way his dad was in marshall tucker band? Those guys rocked, oh cant you see!

Excellent questions and even better answers! I loved hearing Clay express his thought process on said subjects. Dude is such a down to earth guy and to be able to have the longevity he's had is also incredibly impressive. Well done guys!

Nah i started with the crim stuff and i lost my composure whaaaat

50:38 "all i heard out of that was me, me, me" lmao i can't be the only one that found that funny

Bro the fact that Clay went to go see STS9 makes me so happy!

someone about to put hecs out of podcast job holy, first time watcher and this is awsome i think i reside with how much of a fan you are also makes for great content

The CW final w NY was one of my fav moments It was full circle again w clay and a rookie sad they didn’t get it

Watched since bo2 that’s my goat right there. Him and JoeCOD are my favourite players of all time.

This is must watch content

I hope Clay will get a good team and win a 4th ring as he deserves it. Great guy overall. I also agree that his accomplishments are more astounding compared to those in the Optic dynasty because of the teams he had and how often he had to change teams. The only thing he is missing is probably more tournament wins but that does not mean he is not one of the best😊

When Clay explained why he was benched it was the most nice guys finish last statement ever

Great pod

The Marshal Tucker band wtf

There’s no way you haven’t heard there song can’t you see in a movie it’s been in many lol only reason ik is cause my dad loves music he collects old music and he played them around me

What a player, what a man, what a legend.

one of the COD GOATS for sure, Respect 🤛

Here we go!!!

That’s just wild my dad has showed me hell of there songs that’s just legendary he’s the son of a musician lol can’t you see what that woman has done to me man oh man clayster is such a chill dude

wish we had as many events as we had during the CWL not that hard.. doesnt have to be hosted by a team.. but when we did the home series there was like 13 events + champs if you could even call em events but we could easily do 8-10 + champs and the season would be like 8-9 months and then the CDL would be on peoples minds more and not become dead in offseason

Love your podcast man… 1 suggestions - please turn on face detection on your cameras.. they are focusing the nearest objects

Clay learned the game.

true vet. love his inupt and wisdom

Crazy that there was so much that went behind the scenes during Clayster's time at NYSL. I feel bad for thinking he "quit" on the team but tbh if I was in his situation I would have done similar things. Respect to Clay, fuck Crimsix for being toxic

fuckin goat so glad you got Clay

Clay is the GOAT

TV contracts is what changed the NBA. E-sports has to be marketed better and need to get an actual TV contract or something with the same type of revenue.

clay will always be my goat ❤

thats my goat !!!

Clay likes them young boys

I 100% agree with clay I think all cod pros can be better at other games than any other eSport. COD kids are just diff and know the fundies of any type of shooter game. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE COD PROS TRY LEAGUE FOR THE FIRST TIME THO LOLOL

The goat

Did anyone ask if clay would join optic after he retires for content creating ?

Does anyone else see Zapdos in that plant??

Clay we in Germany love you all of my guys are Just Routine for you Champ (Kanzlei)😉😘

clay is getting 4 rings.

Just watched the crim ep and i gotta say, crim has way more autism and less of a vocab. Hes been misunderstood his entire career at the expense of wanting ro be the best. Win. Players compete to win, crim and clay are no.1 and 2 undoubtedly

I respect you clay and I do believe your top 10 but DB3 - 3 rings on LAN there won’t be another . On LAN. 3 separate orgs. Gn

Clay is #4 AT BEST

Ponytail Clay return for his last season whenever that is

Clays is definitely top 3. Crim #1, then I think it’s a toss up between Clay or Karma.

The thing is clay being the more composed and mature person, is the reason teams still offer him spots. Crim will never get another offer

Clay does have a point. He got 3 rings no dynasty. Karma my fav player ever but he’s been on 3 dynasties if u count impact. Formal and scump only got 1 ring being apart of the best team ever. And no hate to those guys I love em. But clay does have an argument for 2nd best. And yes I get what Seth did for comp cod scene and stuff but that doesn’t make u the best ever.

clay also has played and had success with virtually every single player he has been with. The community doesn’t understand how hard that is

Scump and Crimsix cannot build teams like Clay. Scump’s worst teammate in Dynasty was FormaL and FormaL is Top-5 all-time!!!

I don’t blame him at all for still wanting to play but seeing the end of his career be on these awful teams consistently sucks.

clay dont hold grudges except for having me blocked on twitter for like two years now after he went 4-28 -_-

cross platform ruined COD
