Nick after last weeks Flycast and seeing you back and making content with everyone has made me so happy the last week or so. It's truly amazing to see you back at it again! I know this episode will be amazing!🙏
God bless you, Nick. You’re a stronger man than you know. I just recovered from a lean addiction myself. People who have not suffered through it, and don’t have addictive personalities, can’t simply understand the anguish that it can cause you. Recovery is an ongoing process and the most difficult thing I have ever done in my life. I feel what you’re going through, and I am so proud of you being so open about your issues. Honesty is the only way. We all love you and are behind you. You have an army at your back. 👊🏻
seeing hitch so happy and lighting up when he can smell is funny but amazing.. i genuinely hope he can get this shit figured out so it comes back permanently
Damn, I remember waking up in the morning looking forward to seeing these 2 just go about their day. Eating food, going to the gym & what not. Feels like it’s been years
its good to see that Maniac is a grown ass man and doesnt need everyone around him walking on egg shells or treating him like some sort of fragile thing. the world needs more resilience and less of this damn pussification
Advanced warfare is the best game to involve the pro players, ranking system with rewards, and loot boxes that weren’t rigged. The pay to win was still dumb, but it was so fun to play that game and so much content to keep busy with till the next cod.
@@zuadmd i think he was more just getting at the idea of having formal with the other two, not specifically the flycast but regardless who wouldnt want to see that
I hope y’all realize that bringing this back and having y’all two reunite brings me back to the good ol days.. the days I miss from a long time fan of hitch and maniac I really appreciate this I hope you two can see that your fans can’t wait to watch any videos of y’all two much love guys !
SoBeNiac I stopped smoking weed and starting smoking black in milds for like a week. I couldn’t keep doing it but it’s the same as s Smoking weed I’d say, so keep doing you brotha. Happy for your return and OPtics return bright future awaits....
This makes me happy mang! Watching Nick is getting be back into Optic as well. Keep going brother! Also watch out for the caffeine Nick with them sodas, caffeine always gives me anxiety bro! Much Love
Glad to see this duo back at it, I have listened to this podcast 3 times and I can relate so well with your struggles. From Pro Athlete to Rehab myself, I just want to say Nick you’re blessed dog. Also I would love to see Hitch add a fourth member to TST. Maybe it’s time to swag up that gamertag.
Keep up the sobriety, these pod casts literally helps me so much. I’ve been off addy for almost 3 years now and it’s the best decision I’ve ever done brother.
Man I was just in a bad mood over some stupid shit. The second I started watching this it made my night so much better 4real man. Was smiling and laughing from start to finish. I love this shit and glad you're back and doing well seriously. Much love always. Keep taking step forward homie!
SobNiac I am a recovering addict as well its cool to hear your stories and im glad ur getting on track . Addiction had almost cost me my life on several occasions it actually feels really nice to be clear headed after you get past withdrawals and everything . It sounds corny but a natural high is definitely real . Im just as goofy and crazy off drugs as I was when I was on them I just make slightly better decisions lol
Proud of your achievement Nick brother head up sending all the good vibes from here in New Zealand my dude, been a solid follower since the 2013 scuff house. Be safe dude all our thoughts
Hearing Hitch talk about smelling revelations is the best thing ever. He gets so excited and i just smile and chuckle at every story lol ‘All you smellers out there” lol
Obviously this vid is old but keep that same energy man 💪 you’re setting an example for all the people that follow you that have put themselves in similar situations
im 2 and half minutes in the podcast and maniac acknowledges how much he says like then starts saying like every other word so i start to notice even more. i also had a science teacher in 8th grade who would verbally say like to you when you were talking to her or the class
Adderall, or any amphetamines really, can definitely make you play better. It's crazy tbh. Studies have shown Methamphetamine increases hand eye coordination and reaction speed. Which both are important in cod. I mean there's a reason the nazis gave their soldiers meth, and even in the US military specialists have things called "go" pills
Anybody ever heard of PKA? The kings of podcasts! Great episode boys It was interesting to hear a little more behind the scenes of the gaming sCeNe that we grew up in and didn’t really see the full picture while we were in those times
When i got out of rehab/prison the only things that i ended up talking about for a long time, is stories about stuff i went through or who my acquaintances were. For sure helps bro so keep these going bro. All love
Been STRUGGLING to find stuff to watch on UA-cam and now i got this 🙌🏼 savior. Love listening to these You look fabtastic Nick im glad to see you’re doing great! ❤️ BTH
I love to see the real shit like this, this stuff is what people love we love seeing our idols side where it’s fucking real it’s not all scripted, I’m proud of both of you guys for doing this podcast we love it !!!
The part about the internet being flooded is very true. If the speed and connection is too high it can kinda crash and make your speed buffer temporarily. I used to have the problem and tech came out and fixed it somehow by fucking with the wiring.
Bro that smile hitch did at the very end as nick said "do we have any outro music" literally filled my heart. HitchNiac greatest duo in gaming no kizzy
At 17 minutes maniac made a very good point and how the other audience sees TST as a group. That was exactly how I reacted, I’ve been watching optic for years but tst never grew on me (just because I didn’t watch it) but I’m a huge fan of speedy and I saw hitch in the game with tst and it solidified him in a way.
Love it how he changed his wording from the OpTic podcast from “evertime I can put something in my mouth, it goes in” to “if I can fit it in my gullet, it’s going down” about his eating 😂😂 less sus
hitch definitely should play league with karma more now, also loved the tarkov with lupo, i know lupo's chat had a really good time watching that collab as well
be thankful for that 25 minute drive!! i drive a hour and 35 minutes to work every day and then the same hour and 35 minute drive home some times its longer if i catch rush hour!
SobeNiac has such a nice ring to it
sounds like insomniac
No it doesn’t.

The editing on this one is clean. I’m loving the different camera angles.
This is probably the most honest podcast I've ever heard in this space. Keep it up gamers. This needs to be heard
Noice pic dude
Great to see someone who has addressed the issues in their life, it’s such a liberating feeling.

Fav podcast because y’all are the most down to earth people on UA-cam... y’all aren’t tryina be somebody you aren’t and it will pay off in the end.
We all love both of yall. the progression is amazing to see.
We need more of these. Please invite FORMAL he's just an amazing person to watch. Speaks the truth and doesn't care about feelings.
I dont think there will ever be a guest on the flycast. Thats what they agreed on. The closest thing we got was both of them going on the eavesdrop
Flycast isn’t a guest thing. But, they could both go on the OG podcast with Formal, that would be dope.
bro you literally read my mind
I don't like the idea of bringing a guest on the flycast. We have other optic podcasts for that.
@@zuadmd i think he was more just getting at the idea of having formal with the other two, not specifically the flycast but regardless who wouldnt want to see that
Nick man I'm so happy your sober and that your making a stride towards a good sober life. I'm proud of you. Much love Nick ❤️❤️
My boy Hitch lookin' like he smuggles guns smileyface
mans out here lookin like a Peaky Blinder
lookin like he intercepted a shipment of lewis machine guns and now has a policeman from ireland after him
Lookin like he can throw a football real good
Like Ulysses Klaue from Black Panther
I love that nick is truly feeling better. Just seems happier and I love it.
I hope y’all realize that bringing this back and having y’all two reunite brings me back to the good ol days.. the days I miss from a long time fan of hitch and maniac I really appreciate this I hope you two can see that your fans can’t wait to watch any videos of y’all two much love guys !
Bro i know what your going thru. I respect you so much more now knowing your struggle.
love seeing nick in the optic videos again. even if hes just walking around in the background its great to see him around the guys doing his thing
I’ll have been sober for 7 years on July 3rd. I got sober when I was 20. I’m super proud of you Nick! One day at a time dude!
NGL seeing how happy maniac is gives me a lot of hope
SoBeNiac I stopped smoking weed and starting smoking black in milds for like a week. I couldn’t keep doing it but it’s the same as s
Smoking weed I’d say, so keep doing you brotha. Happy for your return and OPtics return bright future awaits....
"I hate that I say like so much" ... Proceeds to say "Like" about 20 times in 1 minute 😂
this is why I can’t listen to this podcast🤦♂️
@@JTahgs cringe
All love to y'all both, love how open the conversation is. Makes me feel better, everyone goes through BS.
dude hitch sounding clearer is craaaazyyyy
This makes me happy mang! Watching Nick is getting be back into Optic as well. Keep going brother! Also watch out for the caffeine Nick with them sodas, caffeine always gives me anxiety bro! Much Love

Sooo good. Love having content from you again. Hope you're doing well Nick and continue to better yourself!
I'd recommend smaller cigars. Look up "Al's Whiskey". It's a tin box of 10. Theyre so smooth, I love em!
hitch "i dont smoke weed at all"
hitch: hold lighter entire podcast
hmmmm
i dunno abt ya'll but after the news of hecz getting optic back all of their content has risen to a new lvl and im sooo happy watch them again
Hearing Hitch talk about smelling revelations is the best thing ever. He gets so excited and i just smile and chuckle at every story lol
‘All you smellers out there” lol
You guys are just so cool, love watching the Flycast so good!
Maniac I love to see you doing so much better! I missed you bro!
Obviously this vid is old but keep that same energy man 💪 you’re setting an example for all the people that follow you that have put themselves in similar situations
im 2 and half minutes in the podcast and maniac acknowledges how much he says like then starts saying like every other word so i start to notice even more. i also had a science teacher in 8th grade who would verbally say like to you when you were talking to her or the class
Can you guys put this on Spotify to so I can listen to it on PlayStation while I play cod
Keep up the grind Nick, hopefully you can stay this time!
SobeNiac might just be the goat of all Niac's, another great podcast guys!
Man I think I just really enjoy you guys talking
Cod and addys = some of the best times/gameplay for sure man
Adderall, or any amphetamines really, can definitely make you play better. It's crazy tbh. Studies have shown Methamphetamine increases hand eye coordination and reaction speed. Which both are important in cod. I mean there's a reason the nazis gave their soldiers meth, and even in the US military specialists have things called "go" pills
It also leads to addiction and a shitty ass life.
@@braun1017 my lifes great? Depends on how you wanna act on it my guy
Anybody ever heard of PKA? The kings of podcasts! Great episode boys It was interesting to hear a little more behind the scenes of the gaming sCeNe that we grew up in and didn’t really see the full picture while we were in those times
Also very glad you two are keeping with this! I remember I saw you boys start the fly cast up in high school back when I was watching optic and ahir
When i got out of rehab/prison the only things that i ended up talking about for a long time, is stories about stuff i went through or who my acquaintances were. For sure helps bro so keep these going bro. All love

Nick, you don't need to feel alone my guy, find strength in the family that's around you brother. One day at a time.
Nick seems so much more relaxed compared to his first one back. Its so good to see 💯
hecz has a good thing going over there bro im glad youre family
Bro that smile hitch did at the very end as nick said "do we have any outro music" literally filled my heart. HitchNiac greatest duo in gaming no kizzy
Another banger like always! Love The Flycast, always good vibes and good laughs.

SobeNiac should look into starting Oldschool RuneScape, could make for a great UA-cam series and streaming too
The Flycast hits me in the soul. If the keep it consistent I'll be so happy.
Reminds me of the early episodes of JRE before he got big, just funny dudes hanging out chatting ish
Literally the best optic podcast their is.
I missed him so much remember when he would make beats?
Hell yeah back in the scuf house, what a great era
So fucking happy maniacs back.
Been going through shit mysef and seeing you back on your feet gives me hope i can get out of this hole.
Dude, I'm so glad you're back and doing well, Nick!
I never thought I’d see the day the flycast is back to multiple uploads
Let’s go another vid love the grind!
Another weekly epsiode of the flycast lets goooo
loving the 'DOES' print in the background!
Let’s go! Love to see you creating content, keep killing it!
HitchNiac is just as legendary as T2P.
Facts. This duo is magical
Love it how he changed his wording from the OpTic podcast from “evertime I can put something in my mouth, it goes in” to “if I can fit it in my gullet, it’s going down” about his eating 😂😂 less sus
Maniac ily bro making me laugh every vid! Glad you’re back and well .
Watching this after the OpTic loss. Only thing to fix the pain.
not even tryna hate at all, i love these. the mic quality jus sounds diff than other shure sm7b's ive heard
Hitch is just a young Andy Serkis . Absolute legend.
Straight from the stream to this!? Man is grindingggg
hitch definitely should play league with karma more now, also loved the tarkov with lupo, i know lupo's chat had a really good time watching that collab as well
Hey hitch when are the newer flycasts goin on Apple podcasts
this is perfect podcast duo always has been maniac says whatever comes to mind no filter and hitchy rewords some of the shade xD
The vibez on poker night have to be immaculate.
hitch should make a video where he eats and smells food the optic guys bought for him !!!!!
After nick mentioned it! Welcome to the Likecast 😂
Love that the Flycast is back
Need to publish these as podcasts. Great content.
31:45 Hitch spitting facts ab the direction cod went in

I used to drive 30-40 mins to school and I actually miss it although I would think it was drag before
