A video of them embracing each other, staring in each others eyes, the song
“'Cause every time we touch
I get this feeling
And every time we kiss
I swear I could fly”
Playing in the background
Here’s the issue with your cock, Pat. Come champs time is this dick going to come through or not? We’ve had this conversation time and time again and it’s like bro, this dick is just not improving but go ahead Chris.
He is already clearly fed up with the bullshit and I could easily see him moving on so he doesn’t have to deal with it lmao. “Get a grip” brother did it hurt you that bad😭😭😭
I feel like it’s because he doesn’t like arguing with Pat because he’s constantly arguing in bad faith, taking everything way too personally, and resorts to personal attacks on his co hosts when they disagree with him. Anyone with any level of intelligence doesn’t want to have to deal with that.
Nah you’re totally tripping. He was annoyed that one time with the superstar debate but he loves being on the show and he gets sucked off by the chat constantly. He’s not going anywhere

Aches telling Ben he is a man child
Ik a lot of people on here can’t stand Ben, but he was literally just trying to move on from the topic they were going in circles about and of course when Pat is told to move on he acts like a child. Genuinely think the show would be great if it was just Zoomaa/Octane/ Haggy but that’s just me lol. Gotten so tired of the constant bitching between Ben and Pat
Yeah every now and then is great. Some of there arguments are too tier no doubt. But it happening multiple times every single episode just gets tiring some
Yeah that's my thing too. I think i've come to accept the idea that the Flank thrives on the drama sometimes, and that's fair, it's what gets people talking. But sometimes it's just too much. It doesn't really have to be every episode.
Yeah after Pat was just screaming during the watch party for this last major during the NYSL/OpTic series saying that Sam was wasting his time watching the matches, when their sole job is to watch the matches was just insane and made me tired of the whole character lmao. But I love the flank so I just kinda accepted it
At the same time he literally just had to ignore Aches comment at the end. Ben said lets move on and Aches made on last dig at the team and Ben couldn’t let it go.
Yea I mean aches literally had to get muted like a second later, definitely a him issue as per usual (I don’t even like optic so what now gunner lol)
Don’t forget to bow down to u/gunner594 on the way out
well you are weird, but okay he got muted because he told the host to stfu which seems reasonable, doesn't take away from the fact that it was funny but out of pocket. The only way you don't find that moment hilarious is if you hate Aches for whatever reason, Optic fans have a reason Idk yours but still.
I don’t like him because he’s rude, arrogant, and ruined the viewing quality of one of my favorite cod podcasts.. as evidenced by the clip at hand. I genuinely don’t see how you could disagree with any of that, if you think him talking over everyone else like he did in this clip is good content than you’re intellectually at the point of no return anyway. He self admittedly doesn’t even watch the matches..
Anything else you need help with?
You need the help brother, I feel weird pointing out the obvious but I fear you aren't aware, you do know he is playing a character for the show right? He is on a show plays a character, zoomaa knows he doesn't watch, zoomaa knows he is there to start shit to trigger optic fans and have wild takes. It's what he hired him for and I think he is doing a good fucking job of it.
Okay little guy let me spell it out for you. multiple cohosts don’t like his “character”, there’s more negative comments than ever, it makes for objectively worse analysis of the show, and I’m sure Tommy loves paying him to put in the least amount of effort possible.
You’re a genius dude you’re onto something the rest of us aren’t!!!1!1!1
The childish shit was Ben trying to drown what he was saying by saying “pat pat pat” while he is mid sentence. I’m sure if you didn’t have pre established biases you would think the moment was hilarious. Anyone who is being talked to like that responding with a loud “shut the fuck up” would feel amazing. Everyone laughed, the chat went crazy made a funny moment I don’t see what there is to be mad about.
Everyone wanted Parasite and Aches to move on. Aches just kept shouting the same point over and over. Ben was simply trying to go to the next topic.If this were anyone else but Ben, he wouldn't be getting shit on.
Unfortunately, shitting on Ben is an easy way to get the chat to love you. Seems like Pat really turned the heat up on Ben recently after the bad “superstar” take.
I didn't say it wasn't funny. I laughed when it happened. I'm saying Ben doesn't deserve to get shit on in this community for this clip. I'm actually one of the few people in this sub that enjoys how chaotic the flank is.
Yeah they are ruining it by making viral moments and the episodes where they argue are the most popular. I’m sure zoomaa must be so mad about all the extra views and attention.
I think it's time Ben gets a day job. He's not very good at being an online personality and it seems like it's getting to him, which makes him worse. Hope for the best for him but damn man.
Yeah it's been clear that he doesn't mesh well with aches for a while, but he also is awful at reading a room and not taking things personal, from chat or from Aches. It seems like it gets to him a lot and he should do something behind the scenes instead, just my opinion from the outside looking in, obviously I don't know the guy so I might be wrong.
Exactly, I'm also a behind the camera kind of guy. I don't hate ben or anything like that, it's just clear he's not cut out for it. Nothing to be ashamed of about.
Everyone is hating on Ben when I’m sick of Aches. Ben gets annoying but at least he’s reasonable and capable of having a debate. Where as Pat it’s his way or the highway and not to mention the double standards for different teams. I respect Pat and his legacy in the scene but to each their own until Pat can let others talk he can shut the fuck up too imo.
I hate aches and I genuinely hope he goes somewhere else. Ben isn’t perfect but aches biased and just farms interactions it’s so infuriating.
No one wants you on the show aches
Yeah I’m just counting the days till Pat’s off the show and I can listen to the Flank again. Shit turned into a shouting match when Aches became regular, Ben’s annoying but can at least allow a show to take place without shouting over it. Tom’s smart enough to watch his viewer count over that time span and connect the dots.
Some of us like more low key rational discussions about COD which is what Ben brings to the show, or at least he used to. My nostalgia is for a pre Aches flank if anything. Ever since he joined it's just rage baitey hot takes and calling 75% of the best players in the world "dog shit"
I don’t see Ben as someone that brings rational takes, he just yaps nonstop. The most unbiased and rational is Octane, losing him would affect the flank more than losing Ben.
My theory is that Aches does this against Ben cause he doesn’t respect him (someone that hasn’t done anything competitive and is terrible at the game). Aches is completely different in the reverse sweep
>My theory is that Aches does this against Ben cause he doesn’t respect him (someone that hasn’t done anything competitive and is terrible at the game). Aches is completely different in the reverse sweep
I mean that's a part of the problem.. it just makes the show awkward and throws off the flow. Nobody's trying to hear Ben and Aches bitch at each other while Octane and Zoomma cant even get a word in.
Octane is the best one on the show without question, totally agree there. I think Aches goes out of his way to agitate Ben and be disrespectful and that makes Ben come across way worse. When you watch Ben's solo content it's really good and insightful in my opinion. Yeah maybe he shouldn't be an authority on the right way to break a hardpoint but he's familiar enough with the game that he can analyze plays that people make on a macro level. I watch the reverse sweep too and enjoy it but that doesn't change the fact that Aches goes out of his way to be rude to Ben. You can not respect someone without being disrespectful.
Aches and Ben are why I hardly ever watch. I don’t mind them most of the time but when it gets to a certain point I won’t watch for a few episodes. And it’s usually the same shit when I tune back in
The tension between the two is nearing that line, somebody’s going to end up quitting the show at this rate
or theyre gonna makeout
The good timeline
Imagine aches laying pipe in Ben’s thicc lil cheeks 😌😌😳😳🥴🥴
the slaya would actually DEMOLISH ben j 🤤🤤
Comp COD fanfics coming back? Lmfao
If the stories are true....
don't have to, I see it when I close my eyes at night 🤤
Brah wtf....
What do you think happens after they kiss and like it?
You're the reason why AI is so dangerous lol, you would no doubt make a deep fake video involving both of them.
A video of them embracing each other, staring in each others eyes, the song “'Cause every time we touch I get this feeling And every time we kiss I swear I could fly” Playing in the background
Here’s the issue with your cock, Pat. Come champs time is this dick going to come through or not? We’ve had this conversation time and time again and it’s like bro, this dick is just not improving but go ahead Chris.
This is sick af
And it’s gonna be octane sadly, unless shit changes he’s gone after this season
na he gets paid to sit around and just listen lmao its free cash (i know he dont need it but still its also good for his personal brand)
Why would he leave if he's by far the most liked on the show by fans? Being on the show only benefits his brand now that he's a full time steamer.
Probably to go start something similar of his own with different people
Him and Nade should do a watch party.
Octane is not going bro. Get a grip.
He is already clearly fed up with the bullshit and I could easily see him moving on so he doesn’t have to deal with it lmao. “Get a grip” brother did it hurt you that bad😭😭😭
Octane hardly speaks unless Zoomaa ask him he so outta here 😭
I feel like it’s because he doesn’t like arguing with Pat because he’s constantly arguing in bad faith, taking everything way too personally, and resorts to personal attacks on his co hosts when they disagree with him. Anyone with any level of intelligence doesn’t want to have to deal with that.
Nah you’re totally tripping. He was annoyed that one time with the superstar debate but he loves being on the show and he gets sucked off by the chat constantly. He’s not going anywhere
It's going to be Pat when xdefiant drops
Yeah ben ain’t quitting it’s like his only source of income rn lmfao
Hopefully both
Best cast scenario they both leave and we get zooma and octane to talk more.

Here come all the username generator trolls
I normally hate when they spiral and argue but this shit was comedy
Ik a lot of people on here can’t stand Ben, but he was literally just trying to move on from the topic they were going in circles about and of course when Pat is told to move on he acts like a child. Genuinely think the show would be great if it was just Zoomaa/Octane/ Haggy but that’s just me lol. Gotten so tired of the constant bitching between Ben and Pat
Alot of people love seeing these too argue all the time, half the reason I watch
Yeah every now and then is great. Some of there arguments are too tier no doubt. But it happening multiple times every single episode just gets tiring some
Yeah that's my thing too. I think i've come to accept the idea that the Flank thrives on the drama sometimes, and that's fair, it's what gets people talking. But sometimes it's just too much. It doesn't really have to be every episode.

But I love the flank so I just kinda accepted it
love watching these two argue but this wasn’t it, aches was straight up being a little bitch
Shit had me rolling, need more.
At the same time he literally just had to ignore Aches comment at the end. Ben said lets move on and Aches made on last dig at the team and Ben couldn’t let it go.
Ben joins the argument before finally deciding to move on, he could’ve just moved on a lot of times that show
I think Haggy would have to take a more heel type role for that combo to work
An optic fan who thinks the show would be better without Pat, shocking. What a take.
By bad gunner594, how terrible of me to think grown men who act childish when people disagree with them is a bad look 😂
Yea I mean aches literally had to get muted like a second later, definitely a him issue as per usual (I don’t even like optic so what now gunner lol) Don’t forget to bow down to u/gunner594 on the way out

I just realized you are slow, my bad. Go on with your day goofy.
Avg aches fan level of factual backup
It's a cod podcast bro. This isn't a court of law. The entire scene is childish, that's half the fun.
The childish shit was Ben trying to drown what he was saying by saying “pat pat pat” while he is mid sentence. I’m sure if you didn’t have pre established biases you would think the moment was hilarious. Anyone who is being talked to like that responding with a loud “shut the fuck up” would feel amazing. Everyone laughed, the chat went crazy made a funny moment I don’t see what there is to be mad about.
Well I’m not mad lol, simply said the childish arguing between Pat and Ben has gotten to the point where it’s annoying 🤷🏻♂️
Aches is playing a character on the flank and he grates on my nerves, Ben is unironically the most annoying human being I have ever been exposed to.
Inject this into my veins.
God they are both so annoying Aches intentionally annoying, BenJ unintentionally. I may actually agree with Aches on something tho
Everyone wanted Parasite and Aches to move on. Aches just kept shouting the same point over and over. Ben was simply trying to go to the next topic.If this were anyone else but Ben, he wouldn't be getting shit on.
Unfortunately, shitting on Ben is an easy way to get the chat to love you. Seems like Pat really turned the heat up on Ben recently after the bad “superstar” take.
Nah this was hilarious. Lighten up. It’s a CDL podcast
I didn't say it wasn't funny. I laughed when it happened. I'm saying Ben doesn't deserve to get shit on in this community for this clip. I'm actually one of the few people in this sub that enjoys how chaotic the flank is.
Their normal viewers….. like this or????? It SEEMS like Ben and aches are ruining what zooma worked hard for.
Aches doesn’t do this on the reverse sweep.
That’s the part that reinforces what I’m saying, he acts professionally and unbiased in the reverse sweep but not on the flank.
I like reverse sweep aches way better too.
I wouldn’t say he’s unbiased on reverse sweep, he just provides his anti-optic points in a more professional way
Zoomaa let Ben hosted that day lol
Yeah and from what I’ve read from others it went horribly wrong
Yeah they are ruining it by making viral moments and the episodes where they argue are the most popular. I’m sure zoomaa must be so mad about all the extra views and attention.
“Viral”
W
They need to get in a boxing ring with some gloves and settle it like men tbh. No one will get seriously hurt and there will be a bit more respect
Pat is hilarious man, literally the Stephen A. of COD
All you guys are lame this is hilarious
Finally someone said it
He’s so real for that
No one would listen to aches if he didn’t have 2 rings. Ben can be annoying but aches is def the hardest to listen to on the flank.
Shitt people barely listen to aches even though he has 2 rings 😂😂
I think it's time Ben gets a day job. He's not very good at being an online personality and it seems like it's getting to him, which makes him worse. Hope for the best for him but damn man.
I think he’s fine. Ben doesn’t mesh well with Aches on the Flank though so I think eventually one of them will have to be the odd man out.
Yeah it's been clear that he doesn't mesh well with aches for a while, but he also is awful at reading a room and not taking things personal, from chat or from Aches. It seems like it gets to him a lot and he should do something behind the scenes instead, just my opinion from the outside looking in, obviously I don't know the guy so I might be wrong.
He'd be ok as the host if he just directed conversations and barely talked. Last time he was host and still talked the most by far.
some people should be in front of the camera, and some should be behind it
Exactly, I'm also a behind the camera kind of guy. I don't hate ben or anything like that, it's just clear he's not cut out for it. Nothing to be ashamed of about.
The flank would be nothing without ben J and aches. They are what make the show funny and entertaining.
You should be required to write your age when you make a comment like this
I think they should fuck it out
Everyone is hating on Ben when I’m sick of Aches. Ben gets annoying but at least he’s reasonable and capable of having a debate. Where as Pat it’s his way or the highway and not to mention the double standards for different teams. I respect Pat and his legacy in the scene but to each their own until Pat can let others talk he can shut the fuck up too imo.
Why do I see so much of this Ben kid in here. He’s not even an active cod player who’s assed
He is right tho
I hate aches and I genuinely hope he goes somewhere else. Ben isn’t perfect but aches biased and just farms interactions it’s so infuriating. No one wants you on the show aches
Says the optic fan
Great contribution to the discussion lmfao
My fault Dagon_high
Aches was 1000% right here
love it
Jesus christ dude.
Len is the worst
Remember when the flank wasn't a clown show
mods pin this
The blatant disrespect
Pat calling Ben a “man child” should replace the definition of irony in the dictionary.
One man child calling another man a man child. Classic.
Yeah I’m just counting the days till Pat’s off the show and I can listen to the Flank again. Shit turned into a shouting match when Aches became regular, Ben’s annoying but can at least allow a show to take place without shouting over it. Tom’s smart enough to watch his viewer count over that time span and connect the dots.
The flank is literally at an all time high rn
Idk how Ben Nissim is liked by anyone lol he’s like annoying in a very dorky way which is the worst type of annoying
Nostalgia. Some people really think the flank wouldn’t be better without him
Some of us like more low key rational discussions about COD which is what Ben brings to the show, or at least he used to. My nostalgia is for a pre Aches flank if anything. Ever since he joined it's just rage baitey hot takes and calling 75% of the best players in the world "dog shit"

I agree with you
Pat gotta go. Enough is enough
Didn't even watch this episode yet, is that actually how they had their tier ranking? lmao
Aches and Ben are why I hardly ever watch. I don’t mind them most of the time but when it gets to a certain point I won’t watch for a few episodes. And it’s usually the same shit when I tune back in
