Zooma deserves everything hes going for. You cant find alot of genuine real people in the word anymore, and the guy defines that. Love Optic and I love Scump but i wanna see a world where the flank and Zooma stream is doing the same numbers, it it would be well deserved!Best COD show by far, The Flank!
I love what Zoomaa does for the COD community his dedication & work ethics are incredible. He goes live even when on vacation all his hard work doesn’t go unnoticed. He’s my favorite streamer I’ll watch every time he’s on. I watch the Flank to keep up with COD scene. Thank you for all you do and continue doing what you do.
crazy to think zoomma averaged around 30 viewers while playing. From that to the biggest and best creator in cod. other than scump of course. Congrats man, love everything about this guy tom
This video is one of the best I’ve seen in a long time. Getting to see the more personal side of Zoomaa makes me respect him and what he’s created even more. Very good video.
ZooMaa is one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met. Thanks for the time you gave me in Las Vegas 2023 Champs. The family loves the Flank. Nothing but respect. Papa Kizz and family.
1:17:00 wow. i already have a massive amount of respect for zoomaa. but hearing the Stocksmen bring up the point of Tomassi revitalizing careers? on top of EVERYTHING else? thats some boss ass shit. big ups to The Stocksmen, Zoomaa, The Zoomafia, and The Exclusive Podcast.
I would love the Flank to get a producer so Tommy can get involved more in the discussions. Passionate angry Tommy >>> Host Tommy who has to mediate between Pat and Ben
Great cast. Love the stallion but serious question why do we constantly run this nostalgia narrative. If we like the game and the old maps make us feel some type of way does it really matter why?
damen and crim had a dynasty before optic. they both had rings before optic. scump and formal didn’t have a ring and a dynasty. they both did after crim and damen joined optic. formal and scump couldn’t form their own dynasty after they left. crim and damen are clear top 2 and you can put scump anywhere after that
Karma was obviously an insane player, but his importance to the dynasty is so overstated. Zoomaa saying they wouldn't have been nearly as successfull without him is dragging it. Optic literally won 3/4 events before Karma even joined.
agreed. I love Damon and he was insane, but its very annoying for people to put him on this pedestal when the other members of the dynasty were just as gross. Scump was by far the best sub and best player during their run and formal was always in the top 3 (mostly 1 or 2) ars for their run. Crimsix was also their main shot caller for the dynasty and he still put up a 1.05-1.10 using both a sub and an ar. Zoomaa says Karma made it easier for Scump and Formal to slay out which i agree completely, but scump and formal slaying out and dropping consistent 1.2’s also makes Karma look even more insane. 🤷♂️
I love all these episodes and this one was up there for one of my favourites :) While I agree that Karma was fantastic and played his role perfectly, his impact is very overrated in the cod scene. Enable and Nade both saw very good success with that dynasty. Karma also just did not age well into the cdl/end of the cwl era. If he had all of that success on a different org not named optic, fans would not look at Karma the same way they do. The three greatest players ever are Crimsix, Scump, and Clayster and i dont think its much of a debate anymore.
@@qwwupp4763 the goat convo isnt ab “impact” and if it was clay didnt have much impact or at best he had less impact than karma. karma replaced Clayster on the coL dynasty and they become even more dominant they already were. the OpTic dynasty was ofc dominant before him but they became more dominant with him in terms of how they would beat opponents. maybe they won around the same amount but they definitely became more DOMINANT. not to mention clay is fantastic but hes had some ridiculous rosters aswell like Eunited in BO4 and Empire in MW. You used karma falling off towards the end of his career as an argument which is stupid bc he was on seattle surge who everybody knows is the worst franchise by far in the league during that year, so he never had a chance to compete. if you put karma on empire and eunited they probably still win the tournaments they won. clay was arguably the worst player on both those teams. so yes clay has 3 rings aswell but he wasnt really a game changer in why they won, karma won 3 rings and they were all on lan aswell. as of their peak as players karma also had a higher peak, he has more championships and was more consistent by far. clayster also tapered off towards the end of his career so im not sure why you said that only for karma. and majority if the pros view karma better than clay. theres my explanation bud👍🏻
@@954PRESIDENTIAL Karma was blessed with god rosters his entire career and the minute he wasn’t, he did terrible. He was never the best on his team either. You are using hypotheticals in your argument which is ridiculously silly. Col really didnt become more dominant without clay. Col was stomping everyone with clay and they did the exact same thing with Karma. Tell me what peak of Karma was better than clay please. Clay in aw was better than any version of karma ever. Bo2 was karma’s best year and the best player on that fariko team was Mirx and any player in that era will tell you the same thing. Karma wouldnt have done anything much on other rosters in the cdl era. His time was up. I get seattle was bad, but its not like Karma was still a superstar. He was ass at WW2 and was arguably the worst on the bo4 roster. Clay was definitely not the worst on empire (Eunited it was either him or prestinni) How can you say clayster wasn’t a game changer in his champs rings when he literally hard carried the denial run and was the best player in their series against faze which was their most important match in mw19. You act like aches and crim were the two best players in their ghosts run (karma was arguably their worst player at champs since teepee hard carried the obj work).
@@qwwupp4763u said karma didn't age well but mentioned clay whos been literally one of the worst players in the league in the last two years. Karma had one bad year and he retired halfway through that year. And even when clay was winning he was one of the worst players on the team past AW
how was OpTic selfish last year?😂 ghosty was arguably the best dirty work igl player and even octane mentioned how dashy was playing how a main should be and wasnt kill whoring. just saying random shit with no explanation on how they were selfish lmaoo
Just because the breakdown has good production doesnt mean the flank would be "copying" them if they invest in production. That would be like a TV network saying they can't invest in new cameras because the other already has them. Its competition for the viewers time.
This podcast was fire I like how you guys are acting like best friends keep getting people on you're close with cause it's like watching friend talking not an interview!
Promise you my casual friends who know 0 about call of duty know who scump is. He’s a house hold name by far and has been the face of COD for years brotha.
Was awesome hanging out and being more serious for a bit 😂Hope you guys enjoy the pod and thanks for having me!

Great pod. Honestly can't imagine the scene without Zoomaa. He's made it a hundred times better, we should all be very grateful to him.
Facts
I love what Zoomaa does for the COD community his dedication & work ethics are incredible. He goes live even when on vacation all his hard work doesn’t go unnoticed. He’s my favorite streamer I’ll watch every time he’s on. I watch the Flank to keep up with COD scene. Thank you for all you do and continue doing what you do.
I could watch 5 hours of ZooMaa on a podcast dudes a goat 🐐
ben, zoomaa, parasite and octane would be the best permanent flank hosts. Plus cod pros as guests from that certain days games or others
This pod just staight up helped make my day even fkn better!! I'm hella appreciative of this content, man! :) looking forward to each new episode!
crazy to think zoomma averaged around 30 viewers while playing. From that to the biggest and best creator in cod. other than scump of course. Congrats man, love everything about this guy tom
Thank you ZooMaa for capturing Competitive CoD the way you do.
Bro you deserve waaaaaay more subs. I just found your interviews and you’re so fucking good.
Keep it up my guy

Papa Kizz and family.
Thank you Stocksmen
Great content but man you gotta stop trying to finish your guests sentences, just let them talk and answer your question
Thank god for zoomma, can’t imagine myself watching scumps boring live streams
Great Pod. Love both of yall - peace and love
1:17:00 wow. i already have a massive amount of respect for zoomaa. but hearing the Stocksmen bring up the point of Tomassi revitalizing careers? on top of EVERYTHING else? thats some boss ass shit. big ups to The Stocksmen, Zoomaa, The Zoomafia, and The Exclusive Podcast.
When he said pirlo made me like him even more
1:00:11 this would be absolutory chaotic and amazing as a show. Please do this!
Shoutout Dr tan
uncommon podcast intro, and it fukin slapped lmao
I would love the Flank to get a producer so Tommy can get involved more in the discussions.

@ZooMaa
YES YES IVE WAITED MY WHOLE LIFE FOR THIS
Zooma is the goat
zooma a real one bro good pod as always🤝
ZooMa such a kind genuine guy. Karma would be such a funny addition to the flank, too bad
Blonde hair gone? We BACK !!!!
This was Litty af!🔥🔥
Please have aches on !
Good episode
What kind of mic are they using ??
Big Len!!
We used to call Pirlo, Earlobe whenever we would nutmeg each other in practice 😂
Awesome interview both sides. 👏👏
W intro
Another banger. Great interview bro, must be a Cali thing.
I have always said in that term karma is the most complete player ever
W fucking podcast
damon is number 1 no doubt
Stocks always looking handsome! 😂
Great Episode ❤ as always.

Also was crim every a consideration when he retired ?
Zoomaa such a cool guy gotta love him 🙌💪❤️
Penalty system needs to be implemented for snaking or deal with it idc
WOOOOMAAAAAA 🐺 🐎
zoomaa tha goat
Bro be asking the most faded questions sometimes
Karma was obviously an insane player, but his importance to the dynasty is so overstated. Zoomaa saying they wouldn't have been nearly as successfull without him is dragging it. Optic literally won 3/4 events before Karma even joined.
And won b2b with enable too, they literally could’ve picked up my grandma and they would’ve been a t3 team in aw lol
Fair take honestly. Just a big Damon fan felt like he was such a key factor for them especially against top teams
agreed. I love Damon and he was insane, but its very annoying for people to put him on this pedestal when the other members of the dynasty were just as gross. Scump was by far the best sub and best player during their run and formal was always in the top 3 (mostly 1 or 2) ars for their run. Crimsix was also their main shot caller for the dynasty and he still put up a 1.05-1.10 using both a sub and an ar.

Naw the BO2 take was straight trippin. So many cods can be great based off of nostalgia, but BO2 was legit.
W Pod Ace!
2 hours hell yah 🎉
Early asf holyyyy
W podcast!!!!
As a casual I play much better stoned than sober. Playing while sober just makes me hate the game lol
Agreed but I sometimes troll when I’m high it be hard to lock in sometimes😭
You should try not to touch the mic, it was bothering me watching you lol
Knew Tommy was going to be big time. Ever since he told haggy he spends all his money on e girls
Stim shot should've been once per life.
Or at least a 20-30 second cool down
@@arcadiagreen150nah that’s too long 😂 it might as well not been in the game
WooMaa!!
Bo3 was that SHiii
The most underwhelming team this upcoming year will be Faze.
Ngl, that intro sounds got annoying. But fire videos nonetheless
Panenka is what Pirlo did

Aside from the great podcast, Bobby Kotick is still at Activision until January 2024 & Bill Gates hasnt owned Microsoft for years, thanks.
Hi
👍😎👍
Lol no karen complains as much as cod pros
Db3 is the goat 🐐 Zooma knows…can’t fuck wit three ringzzzz..won a chip with killa 😂…plus karma is one of the most clutch players hands down.
how was OpTic selfish last year?😂 ghosty was arguably the best dirty work igl player and even octane mentioned how dashy was playing how a main should be and wasnt kill whoring. just saying random shit with no explanation on how they were selfish lmaoo
I swear they just be talking sometimes.
Why is zooma In Cali when family east coast and all pros in Texas ?
Subscribed cause you got zoomaa on the pod so you got me with that one
Zoomaa takes care of his friends. Gentleman
Black ops 2 is the best cod and beat competetove cod ever
Why’s this channel not at all 100k subs?
Woomaa 🇮🇹 🐎
Zoomaa's show idea is better lol
Just because the breakdown has good production doesnt mean the flank would be "copying" them if they invest in production. That would be like a TV network saying they can't invest in new cameras because the other already has them. Its competition for the viewers time.
ZooMaa is the man!!!
This podcast was fire I like how you guys are acting like best friends keep getting people on you're close with cause it's like watching friend talking not an interview!
I feel like zoomaa lowkey forgets he played with clay like bro give me guy his praise
Love u Tomas
Such a great interview until the In N Out 5 Guys take. 😂.
Five hosts is good in the off season but I think during the season we need more room for guests/players
great intro
Thats a perfect offseason idea. non cod topics debate between them two would go hard
“Back when I didn’t eat Halal” my man. Just recently started eating Halal only, can’t stay away from Chik fil a tho
The truest thing said in this video was Cod MWII is the worst cod of all time. Comp and casual.
"scump is the michael jordan of COD" why are we still making statements that are this stupid
Promise you my casual friends who know 0 about call of duty know who scump is. He’s a house hold name by far and has been the face of COD for years brotha.
zoomaa showing love for damon, you love to see it
intro and sound cues with it is money - expect nothing less from the stocksmen himself
I think teams arent announcing their roster so they can play kickoff tourneys with the full squad.
I was wondering cause I didn’t know who was on any of the rosters
Awesome interview from both the interviewer and interviewee!
Best pod yet. Keep it up and not HARAM.
Bangerrrrr !!!! Zoomaafiaaa too the moon !!!!!
W Podcast!! WOOMAA WACE
W episode ❤
I clicked so fast😂
