This is podcast is actually so important to the cod scene. Having all these first hand accounts of the very early days of competitive call of duty and talking about it's history is something really special. I don't think a lot of us would ever know about these details without this podcast. Thanks, Crim

Yeah the crim and pat talk is so cool. I hope they get teep as well and karma and scump and formal and clay and nade, in importance in that order. That would be so cool. I feel like crim doesn’t talk about personal stuff like love, but I know he loves everyone I just named. Especially the col boys. Crim and aches and teep and clay and karma should be boys for sure. Idk if they are but I hope so, and I hope they can talk now about the crazy ass past and how it was before it’s time and how they could play in their prime together today.

that Lacefield bo3 story is insanely perspective changing. Obviously sad about that loss in the long run, but extremely happy for that c9 team in that context
This was one of the best CoD related podcasts I've ever seen, holy shit. Brings back so many crazy memories. Porter, you are built for this man. Keep it up

i’ve been playing cod since cod4, starting as a 9yr old kid and now being 24, almost 25. it’s insane to finally see a lot of the insight on the backstories, i had only heard small things from friends around gb’s/cdl. this was an insane eye opener and i got so much love for all the og’s in the cod scene.

Two god damn legends! You love to see it. Great first guest, love to hear you two talk about the old days. Thanks for being cornerstones of comp cod. Respect 👊🏼
That first bit Aches said: "We used to just show up to make money and go home". Pro COD back then was a job, its turned into a lifestyle and a show. That explains so much of why the league is so different nowadays.

And like he said, players these days make it to pro and actually stop trying. Imagine trying to compete for kills with your new pro teammates, making everyone better. Or just taking your salary and calling it a day.
That was a great balance of personality, you two have a natural chemistry for a podcast format. need more!

I started watching cod in Bo1 and seeing the col dynasty first hand was crazy but now to here first hand accounts of behind the scenes is incredible best. this is by far the best cod related podcast yet and even ip there for podcast in general. cant wait to see who is on next
Man this is bringing back a lot of memories of the old cod scene. Hopefully the new-gen players will gain some respect for the legends of the scene.
Let’s goooo! So pumped to see how big this podcast becomes #coLgang

You can never change what you have said and done all you can do is prove to yourself through action what you have become….good and bad . You guys are legends who have helped shape the competitive COD scene , again good or bad , for that I thank you!
This pod is so well done! Love the concept and that it’s able to travel well! So important to chat these different sides which don’t get discussed while folks play. Great insights
This is great. Glad you guys brought the podcast setup.
This was such a great watch. During this time period they're speaking about I only kept up with Halo, so it's awesome to get such insight into the COD scene! Also, it was really nice to hear Pat just talking and not having Ben tryna argue every other sentence. 😅 can't wait for more episodes!!
This was very insightful, and I really enjoyed it. All of these legends and stories of the beginnings of ESports! Ive been around since day 1, I found this very interesting. We need more. Maybe some of you boys will write a book about your experiences one day. Good stuff, Thank you!
It was honestly a perfect progression for me with everyone in the COD Scene. I was 11/12 years old watchin Crim come into the scene and dominate with coL & Fariko n Haggy owning all of BO2 & I was just so pissed as a kid wanting Scump to win lol. But after 10+ years & growing up I realize how important y’all were. That’s why I love everything bout comp cod, cause at the end of the day y’all are just people like everyone else. Thank you both for everything you’ve done.

Great pod Crim appreciate the time stamps it makes watching a much better experience.
This podcast can actually be so impactful for the COD scene. Behind the scenes looks for the fans can only bring more interest.
"burned bridges" is an amazing podcast name. I hope all the bridges he did burn become mended now that he isnt competing.
As a new comp fan. It was kind of startling to hear the story about the lacefield situation cause like almost no one in the community talks about

I remember watching it live and I was so happy when they knocked optic out. I went back to watch the vod and saw the comments from people who were there saying he was being extra spicey at the crowd because of the racial slurs. Some people thought he was just being a bad sport and he got even more racist comments online.
Finally finished the episode! Can’t wait for more.
Really enjoyed the split camera POV!
Cool to hear that all these legends are from NC. Just had my first son and hearing the determination from these guys bc of Damon and his family, awesome stuff!
I’ve been subbed to this channel since the dawn of man. Never been more excited to see something pop up
This podcast was very needed, and I hope that players who are currently competing or plan on competing in the future. Listen to this because there’s a lot of things that happen early on an esports that never gets brought up that a lot of competitors went through that simply cannot be explained just by word of mouth. the energy that went into that time of growing competitive Call of Duty® and competitive halo was the wild wild west and it’s just amazing to look 10 years later and see players getting paid $20,000 a month
MirX put his trust into Haggy and Sloss too much that’s what held him back because he should still be playing!
I do not usually comment on KZread videos. This was everything I hoped it would be and more - really hope for a PT. 2 sooner than later. Aches is one of the *insert worship adjectives here* greatest, most needed players in COD history. It was awesome getting a peak behind the curtain of such sustained greatness. More from Crime and Aches in the future please king
Only OGs will appreciate this man…. Best COD podcast out EVER! Just the stuff they said and the stories don’t compare to this

If it was a big deal to anyone they would’ve done something then. They all failed lace. Absolutely bullshit for these guys not to take any responsibility
Keep the journeys going, long podcast like these are needeed
Love this. Was definitely guilty of thinking of Aches as a villain since that’s how he was always talked about, but seeing him in stuff like this has really made me respect and appreciate him a lot more. And I’ve never been a fan of the narrative putting you as a villain though even as an OpTic fan myself (although tbh I root for pretty much everybody nowadays since I have players I like all over the place), his is gonna sound weird, but it’s 1000% meant as a compliment because it’s also the way I describe some of my best friends and favorite people in general, but I’ve always thought of you as a “lovable asshole.” May rub people the wrong way and fit that villain role well if you don’t know any better, but maybe it’s because I’ve been watching your content for so long that I know you’re a good and funny dude at heart. Anyway, loving the podcast and can’t wait to watch more!
Love the content Crimsix! Can’t wait for more! I as a diehard OpTic fan will always appreciate you and what u did for OpTic. You were legitimately THE LEADER. The leadership u brought to that team and in game leader is UNDERRATED AF!! And I’ll never forget that! Most wins out of any CDL pro for a reason! Sad to see u go bro but looking forward to content! And don’t forget, YOU’RE a GOD. Called “game 5 Crim” for a reason! Keep ur head up bro!! Much love
Goated podcast, honestly. Haven’t been this entertained in a while!
I love these types of podcasts Crim keep it up 👍🏽
this podcast was dope. Absolutely love hearing behind the scenes about the years and teams that got me into competitive call of duty. Adds so much detail and information from the outside looking in
Aches is great on the flank he has integrity
This is one of those ones I will be coming back to very often ~
would love some more runs down memory lane in the future with guests. was so cool to hear the stories I've never heard before
I Know I’m going to love this episode keep it up Crim❤
Thanks for doing the timestamps!
Love some comp CoD history, been watching for years but always learning some new cool things
Keep this coming. Definitely the content we need!
Love both you OGs although you guys have been painted as the villians I always admired the skill and dedication to the game and winning. CoL is definitely the greatest dynasty to come out of CoD. You boys consistently broke hearts and put on a hell of a show!
Great podcast. Would absolutely love a podcast with you aches and Teep... Old school cod fans are dying to hear that
Awesome podcast man, I would truly like you to interview Mirx, let the man tell you in his own words how he sunk his carrer. I Respect all of you, you saw a oportunity more than 10 years ago and run away with it!
loved hearing aches on this podcast. so many entertaining behind the scene stories
Yeah... we're gonna need another one of these already. Could've listened to stories from the coL/EG/early-CoD era for hours longer.
anaheim bo2 was the first event i watched. that was when seth and nade were grinding in the summer at the house all the time. people hated impact so much. you guys were semi close to rounding out the show i was hoping you would mention ghosts anaheim octane comeback. i dont think the optic team for ghosts ever recovered from that. i wouldve loved to hear about 18 champs. i want to know more about the scump aches duo from bo1. and how you guys wanted to pick up scump during col run at some point. great episode. always awesome to see pat be pat instead of his persona(even though the persona is entertaining). it is crazy to think that back then when getting 2quick all you needed was any main ar for success and couldnt find one, but now we have an abundance of mains
Glad that they mentioned MirX, he was too good in bo2. Great podcast.. keep it up crim
I like how there is another side of this story other than optics
YOOOOOOO YESSSSSSS

Them talking about the good Vs evil aspect makes me miss those old days of competition in the ghosts/bo2 days. So much fun to watch back then
I love the COL/EG stories I remember becoming a fan of them on those days back in bo2
this was amazing. pls get aches, teep, karma and clay together to do this again and talk about the entire scene and y'alls journeys
Love this, I appreciate it guys!
Crazy how much of this history is hardly documented, if at all. Huge huge insight into the evolution of competitive CoD

great interview, great stories, great guys, love yall
Love the video man good stuff💪🏽
God man I’m so glad I got to experience the bo2 comp era
This is it right here Crim. This is your super power. You can be gaming Joe Rogan. I genuinely enjoyed this. Hearing all the old stories took me back man. The only criticism I have, is maybe less interrupting and going off on side tangents mid story. Other than that, this was super dope. Much love brother.
Loved the video Crim, was really entertaining.
I dig these, more please. Definitely bring Aches back too.
Damn I had no idea about the crowd stuff at bo3 champs. Great Podcast Crim!! 🔥
Such a good podcast, hope you two do more together in the future
Amazing podcast thank you for sharing your story I love cod and this scene ❤
Quality content!
I could literally listen to crim and aches speak for days
I remember that year of cod. Was insane. coL were probably the most dominant team I ever layed eyes on in cod comp history. With Fariko Impact and Denial being runner ups. Probably my Top 3 outside of the mainstream teams.

True historian right here!! Had to come back and listen to this almost all over again, this was a dope episode and showed a new respect for Aches! 💪🏼💪🏼
I have not watched a cod tournament since BO3 but had to instantly watch this. Loved watching coL winning when no one wanted to see them win.
Also, you and Aches should try to do at least one of these every month or something. You guys have years and years of stories.
New favorite podcast!
This might be the best podcast I’ve seen since the flank has been waiting for the new season!
Didn’t know Aches was such a good guy until this podcast. Great work
Fucking legends! Been a fan since waaaaaay back when…mr nomistACHES…is in the building. You guys deserve waaaaay more credit for how games of comp cod are played today .
Need to have aches back on again. Would love to see karma or teep next episode!
Respect to y’all for what you’ve done for the COD scene. You guys played into being a villain so in my opinion, you can’t complain when the audience gives you the same energy. It’s like if a bully complains when he gets bullied…
Best gaming podcast ever. Gotta have aches back a bunch of times
Back in the day I was die hard watching cod but always respected Pat and enjoyed his content, he played the heel so well and cod esports would have died without nade/aches, they literally were the pulse of cod for 3/4 years
I wish more people remembered this time in cod
When Crim called Aches Chuck Norris. I said true immediately. Love it.
Need this weekly podcast.
thanks for this Crim and Pat. Been a Pat fan since Lvg and coL was the best cod team.
Y’all should make another podcast going over topics that fly under the radar in the cod scene. For example, the adderal use within the pros
I don’t always like aches takes but I will say he probably or is one of the smartest cod player/ viewer and love the podcast it doesn’t seem so formal and I like it like that seem like yall just kickin it and talkin like you would off can
I have seen aches on a few pods and I think he is very well spoken/good at telling stories. Definitely a good guest
