    Am starting it now. Just curious: why is it uploaded in only 360P?
    And I love the fact that you talk to people from the environment of gaming. I think that is actually a niche where you can create content that other people don't or can't. Like Kristsen, Judith. With this type of content you're creating this 360 view of gamers, which I think is very cool. Keep up the great work Hector!

      Yo, CZcams uploads videos in 360p first then upscales it. So the video is out as quickly as possible. Check back in the next 30 mins or so. Have a great day

    Seth's mom is amazing, she was living as a single mom and helped Scump be where he is now and supported him. Not having a mom man is really tough, TRUST ME. I hope Scump admires his mom and all you reading aswell, because once she is gone you will regret all the times you have wronged her, besides she is the person who fed you when you weren't able to walk on your own. I hope that this has let viewers appreciate their mothers more. Awesome podcast HECZ, its great and unexpected.

    To be honest this has to be my favorite podcast. It’s awesome to hear where Seth came from and makes him a lot more relate able. Me coming from a single parent home can relate with him a lot more. And at the end when she’s thanking you for always taking care of scump hit home. That’s why your one of my role models and I have the most respect for you. And hope to one day be as good of a friend and and man as you are.

    That story about her taking Scump to the doctor for depression is DEEP. It's crazy how often the BEST players in whatever sport or competition are told they can't or won't be successful at their dream and then they shock the world and sometimes change it. It takes a special person to persist when the whole world tells you NO or you can't. Fascinating interview and even more fascinating story of how Scump achieved his dreams.
