Matty Marshall is the voice of paintball GOD thank you for everything you do for the game. Podcasts, documentaries hours on live stream narrating the game and also playing the game. 🤙🏻
Rear naked is the highest percentage to win by submission @ 43.8%! This is why Matty is the FUCKING MAN. i'VE HEARD HIM TALK ABOUT GROWING PAINTBALL AND WHAT Hee says about it is amazing, I love hsi vent on it that ive heard give this man the NXL and watch some real growth
Even with unlimited money how do we actually achieve accurate real time kill count? Every player would need to have their own color of paint. So I guess unlimited money solves that. But logistically that is a nightmare.
Excited for the ESPN show to release. Curious why GoPros were not used before? When action cams first came out, I remember lots of ppl were wearing head mounts around 2010s. I remember Jrab had a bunch of cool videos too. But it never caught on.
No one watched cable tv as a premium experience anymore. The premium footage goes to the paid and branded TV channel mobile app. I wonder how that will go rebroadcasting the AC footage.
I can't wait for the ESPN show but what is different from last time? Back in y2k to 07, paintball was was mainstream already. Paintballing was the cool thing to do in middle and high school at the time. Everyone has seen the magazines, the ESPN show, and the Pevs ads everywhere. It was already mainstream. Paintball cant depend on a savior, it needs to grow on social media. Social media is the hack any underdog can do. The biggest challenge with PB is there's a consumable cost to play, making it a play once in a while type activity. When I was small, I was able to get the cool gear, the cockers, the Angels, the Timmys, but the byproduct is I could only afford to play a few times a year as a teenager. PBNation kept a generation together on the internet since most could only play a few times a year
Social media is such an important part of what we do. Absolutely! And PbNation definitely kept a generation together! Hoping we can now do that with PTG!
To go with Marcello's point of the ref's should be pulling players out. The fact that they yell "Player!". We pay how much to get our names and numbers on our jerseys, yellow our names, there are 9 other players on the field, you have no idea who they are calling out.
The rich person i think of when it comes to funding paintball would be dan bilzerian or mickey mase both enjoy paintball. Shiet Dan built a full tournament field at his mansion. No sidearms because it would connect to much to actual guns where we want this to stay looking like a sport not like a paintball version of airsoft or milsim. That and imagine diving on a sidearm
Just spitballing in my imagination as I am prone to, ruminating about how the paintball drama finally meets its' fuller mainstream viewership potential. If paintball was more cost-effective at a casual player interest level it would be a massive boon for the sport. To become more popular the drama of paintball needs to be more familiar or relatable to the viewership. Making paintball cheaper obviously would increase the popularity. To become cheaper it needs to be more popular and to become more popular it needs to become cheaper... rinse repeat... Assuming the smart people could solve the cost effect on accessibility if paintball was more popular, it seems like the 1st step is to intuit how paintball will stick in mainstream culture. I feel like it all needs to go back to advocating paintballs' team building virtue. I feel like there needs to be an unending vigilance to develop a casual level of engagement that makes paintball the official supplemental team building sport to all forms of intense competition. It needs to marketed to as many professional sports as possible without risk of injury liability and there needs to be an official standard for rental equipment and format. If a professional football player is on tv talking about last week when he was playing paintball with the defensive team, he should be talking about the same exact quality of mask, air (not co2), and the rental gun needs to be standardized (maybe with a couple of classification levels). If you are a mom with two teenage kids and your family goes to play paintball 4 to 5 times a year, or more, there should be no need to own any personal equipment and go have a very standard relatable level of experience. "We played class 2 paintball last week. We usually play class 1... the professional athlete on TV said he was playing class 2 with his team..." Cheap force-feed hoppers, goggles that you can see through, air (not co2), and electric **bps markers should be a standard rental classification. Basic safety and proper use of equipment MUST be common knowledge, even to people who have never played. *and pants too, so you don't rip holes in your street clothes. It needs to be marketed for a trickle-down culture, beginning with competitive business and competitive sports cultures. There need to be standards that represent little to no injury liability in the eyes of insurance companies and you need to be able to walk into a field with nothing, go have a qualitatively standard level of experience, and leave it all at the field. It needs to be logistically clean, come and go, take it and leave it behind, qualitatively predictable. Paintballs' maximum potential to go mainstream is ultimately restricted to the population of personality profiles that are: 1. competitive 2. willing to get dirty 3. "can dish it out and take it". *The reason for these 3 points is, the current formats for paintball competitions have no casual-viewer-spectacle; in order for a viewer to empathize with the unfurrowing paintball drama you need to be familiar with the direct experience of the dejection of being shot out in the middle of your efforts and rise of vanquishing your opposition in paintball specifically; the current formats of points etc. does not provide a satisfying drama to the viewership.
Camera in goggles or hoppers = no one buying because we can barely get players to pay $200 for them as is - add in a $300+ camera Insta360 GO3 might fit INSIDE the goggle system but then you run into dirty lens issues

Absolutely. He is the MAN!
What an answer! I'm definitely onboard with the King Crab, one of my favorites. And the location. That is why the question is phrased as I do!
King Crab is elite!
Matty Marshall history pod is going to be 🔥
It truly will be fire. Can't wait to dive into that one! Will be added to my list of weekly listens for sure
Tyler with a great idea with the 1v1 after the time runs out for that other format… great idea
Yea bro that one was a gem 💡💡💡
Always good to hear from Matty

Matty is so goated. We are lucky to have him as a leader in our sport!
Even with unlimited money how do we actually achieve accurate real time kill count? Every player would need to have their own color of paint. So I guess unlimited money solves that. But logistically that is a nightmare.
I've been saying this ^^ definitely a difficult task but seems like the only real option.

I think its rhe insane amount of editing with 10 players with them attached to them. Its alor
It is a lot of work to include into the production that is for sure.
27:44 What is 'side arm'?
Hahaha. A little single shot paintball pistol!
1:03:12 but lighting money on fire is the essence of playing paintball?

This seems reasonable

Make it sound more larpy and dorky than it already is Matty. “Gun fighters” 😂
