    Good but could be better
    Have been watching/listening since the beginning. Hecz comes off as a bit narcissistic at times and often overshadows his guests and makes the stories about him.
  • Aaron232399
    Keep up the great work!
    I’ve been listening to this podcast everyday for the past 2 weeks at work and it’s so nice to listen to familiar topics and the content creators I like to watch on YT making this is that much better.

    Brother episode
    Been watching since the first optic house, and been listening since first episode here. Finally had to write a review for the latest episode man your brother killed it, too hilarious. All episodes have been gold. Would like some more non-cod esport guest. Maybe one from the overwatch scene would be a suggestion.

  • ShysterFLssc
    Don’t call it a come back!!!!!!!
    First I just want to congratulate you on getting back what’s rightfully yours, I knew it was only a matter of time. The LL Cool J song Mama said knock you out keeps on running through my head while I yell in my Ric Flair whooooooo lol the Green Wall is in full effect baby!!!!!! Sending you all Positive vibes from Orlando Florida and 5 stars PS I’m still trying to buy a Founders Hoodie or Shirt but everything sold out so fast... take my money!!!! Lol

    I really hope you and Hastro are serious about starting a podcast together. Even if it’s not a weekly podcast but bi weekly. I would love that.
  • King_Bajro

    The best podcast in the world !!!!!
  • Chi deCoy
    My favorite podcast
    Hecz is a genius, the dude just knows what it takes. Definitely the face of Competitive gaming bedsides the Ogres Twins and TSquared. But let’s just say the Face of COD. The podcast is straight professional and if you follow the scenes it definitely answers all your unanswered questions that you can’t dig up on twitter LOL. Hecz hit me with a follow on Twitter @Chi_dC big fan, had tickets to the Huntsman event but we all know what’s going on with the world now.
  • Bwr630
    Intriguing, Entertaining, Informative
    Hector is a very personable and engaging host. He is hilarious, but also asks poignant questions. You can tell he really cares about all his guests, and all his guests WANT to be there. If you know anything about the CoD competitive scene or even sniping, OpTic / H3CZ is second to none in influencing the culture. Everybody on this podcast is somebody who he has a personal connection with, and whom he knows on a personal level. Take it from someone who has watched at least 45 of the 53 episodes

    Been really enjoying and reminiscing with you guys. These episodes have been crazy. I’ve been a fan for a while, and hearing the things that happened behind the scenes is mind-blowing. Been great being able to follow the journey. When Rambo got drop cause for some reason he couldn’t compete cause he was from Canada. I believe it was frag cup rules or something. P.S Nade was not better then Rambo 😂
  • Tytyflaco
    Excellent
    The podcast with Doug “Censor” Martin is my favorite so far. I love this podcast! Props to Hector and Matt. You’re doing an awesome job guys!
  • kaiomerchant
    Great pod
    Amazing insight to the world of esports and personalities
  • liquidflow
    Hecz is the best!
    I’ve live in Longmont where seagate is located and done their electrical. I’m an electrician. Played MW and MW2 when they came out and just got back into it with BO4 a month ago. Back in full swing and it’s awesome to hear from these guys that have been around since then. Listen to this podcast and real hip hop.

    Hello

  • Laforz

    Sad times
    Much love to Hecz and Hitch for laying out for all to see and to all the men and women who made Optic, Optic. Thank you for giving me a community to belong to for the last 10 years. If you can’t use the Optic name for what ever reason going forward Im sure the green wall could get behind a re launch of Basshers as a content/apparel brand 🤷🏼‍♂️.
  • JTay34
    Best. Podcast. Ever.
    If you’re a gamer, interested in tech, or even an avid outdoorsman, you NEED to listen to this podcast! H3CZ has great guests every single episode and always has great conversation. Must listen!

    Question / complaint
    I love these podcasts. Never miss one, listen at work every Monday morning. The complaint I have is that the ads are done in the middle of the podcast? Directly cut into the flow of convo. I’m sure there is a reason as hecz is calculated but that is my reservation. 5 stars regardless
  • Ferny Beto Lil Congo
    Let’s go OpTic
    Loving these on iTunes great podcasts nothing but love homie
  • dent wizard
    Hitch and manic
    This episode was really good up until the last 30 minutes when it became the woes me podcast. These two are super funny no one wants to hear about how depressing it is to live the optic life. Other than that love the eves drop keep it up!
  • SharkoGG
    H3CZ is the best
    Only wish that the podcast was longer. So many stories I wish they went deeper on, I know that everyone would love a longer podcast
  • Reanimator Lovejoy
    My only critique
    Is that these need to be longer. There are so many stories that get cut off because “we’re getting off topic” or “we’ll discuss that another time.” Otherwise, great insight and talking points. Bring. Back. The. 6050. Crew.
  • Ezack826
    Love To Hear It
    I still watch the actual cast on YT and it’s phenomenal. Great job with OG.
  • T_Bud

    You’re podcast is awesome man. Really enjoy these on my morning drive to work.

  • Drizz2k10Kb
    Love this podcast!
    Been an OpTic fan since 2009 and if you’re into esports and the culture behind it then there’s no way you’d be disappointed with this podcast. Hecz has great energy and he really makes the podcast chill and easy to listen to.
  • elmarciano6
    Killa in the scene
    After listening to this it just fuels my thought that killa, parasite, Ray all either need to be coaches or the median between the devs and pros. Really feel like they could make the game playable for everyone and still competitive for the pros without all the needless ga’s
  • Charliemoller2
    Hecz has done it once again.
    Once again something Hecz puts his mind to turns out well managed and received. The Eavesdrop Podcast has skyrocketed any expectations of long time fans, while being open and inviting to a whole new crowd. The listeners experience a variety of topics, including an inside behind the scenes of OpTic, Esports, the Gaming Industry and life overall. The interviews range from internet entertainers and pro gamers to outdoors man and studio design directors on triple A title games. Once you listen to one episode you’ll find yourself checking back to see if a new episode has been released. It’s a mellow, yet engaging podcast, good for workouts or car rides. It’s worth every second of your time and with checking out the shorter series on YouTube, “600 seconds”.

    The JRE of Gaming and eSports Podcasts!
    This podcast is something I find myself really looking forward to listen to when new episodes are released each week. The conversation with each guest so far has been organic and flat out entertaining. There’s no random ad breaks during the episodes which I personally prefer. If you enjoy gaming, eSports, and are a fan of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast model then you will definitely like The Eavesdrop podcast!
  • Tabasco0303
    Great Conversation
    Great interview as always! It's great to see/hear some of the behind the scenes stuff of the growth of OpTic. Keep it coming!!
  • matrix hero
    The OG from OG
    Thanks for putting the podcast on here so we can download and listen in the car. Much love much respect as always.
  • Sam Curt
    Thought that counts?
    Definitely a void that needs to be filled in the video game podcast arena, but it’s done poorly. When considering Hecz has the experience, assistance, and equipment this podcast is weak. The questions lack any cognitive function. It’s simply “who are you?” The Russel Dr. podcast shows some hope though, an actually conversational, energetic and emotional podcast— somewhat like the Optic podcast when Courage and Hecz were apart of it.
  • KadeSoda
    Greatest podcast ever

  • Raul Mehta
    COD Franchising
    The real problem with COD franchising and regionality is the content side. If brands like Optic and FaZe got their following through their content on YouTube and Twitch etc. then by nature their fans are going to be dispersed across the nation. The fans are the people who fall in love with the personalities and follow the players not necessarily the teams. The teams help through their amalgamation of content and creation of content through team houses etc. but the personalities that make the team make the fan base go round. By that nature regionality is just going the fracture an online decentralized fan base, and as an Optic fan in New York I can attest!
  • Jzip15
    Thank you
    Thank you man I really appreciate this awesome podcast. I work under cover and walk around all day trying to blend in and find people stealing and things like that. It gets super boring so I plug in your podcast and it makes time fly. Keep up the great work.
