Starting point is 00:00:50 online at raisincanes.com pff special episode all right headlines uh pete davidson leaves angry peter voicemail pete davidson was under fire at the hand of peter after he's seen buying a dog from a city pups breeder in new york city Peter was upset because Pete didn't adopt. Fuck that. Don't you say don't fuck with Peter? Yeah, I generally don't like fucking with Peter, but they threw like, never forget, they threw the fake blood all over Dan in the hot dog contest.
Starting point is 00:01:17 I feel like you're saving a dog when you adopt a dog from City Pups. That's like, I feel horrible for those dogs. Yeah. Yeah. Because that dog's already alive. You can't really, you can't. adopt a dog from city pups that's like i feel horrible for those dogs yeah yeah because that dog's already alive you can't really you can't someone's got to take the dog right well you want the dog to live in the window of city pups in manhattan for the rest of his life yeah like that's more fucked up yeah like in a hamster cage yeah right and they're always sick yeah
Starting point is 00:01:39 so i guess pete then left p, a voicemail that we have. Yeah. allergic to dogs so i have to get a specific breed i'm only not allergic to cavapoos and those type of dogs and my mom's dog who's two years old died a week prior and we're all so sad so i had to get a specific dog so why don't you do your research before you create news stories for people because you're a boring, tired, f*** you and suck my d***. End of message. Classic sign-off. F*** you and suck my d***.
Starting point is 00:02:35 Yeah. Yeah, I think they thought that people were going to be on their side. Yeah, in what world? I feel like everyone would take Pete Davidson's sign on that. It's being pretty logical. Following the incentive for organizational research and and Education put up a billboard
Starting point is 00:02:48 backing Pete saying PETA can't handle his big dick energy and that PETA kills animals. Wait, do they? I don't know if that person probably wants to be on that side of it either. Yeah, I don't think he wanted to be on the campaign. That's a crazy take. Yeah, for PETA kills animals. I'm on Pete's side here totally. For sure.
Starting point is 00:03:04 Not only the voicemail but even if all what he didn't say i feel like you're saving a dog when you rent the dog from when you buy rent when you buy a dog from city pops i mean anytime you get a dog you're giving it a life it's like you got a dog totally but there's some dogs that are for sure in much better situations i i just don't think a dog living at city pops in in manhattan is in that much better situations. I just don't think a dog living at City Pups in Manhattan is in that much better shape than a foster dog. And it's not like he went and got a dog breeded specifically. He went to an already...
Starting point is 00:03:39 Which, to be honest, I think most famous rich people would not just go to City Pups because you do hear a lot of those dogs have issues because the way they're like brought up so credit to him for doing it uh also sticking with him his mixtape dropped i thought he looked pretty good if we want to watch it i think i did see some clips and i thought he looked looked athletic Looked athletic. I got me pumped up. Yeah, I didn't watch the whole thing.
Starting point is 00:04:28 I just saw him do a layup. I'm like, all right, he's all right. It was a little, as I watch it, almost strange, like how seriously it seemed put together. But, like, who made that? And it does seem like he's playing against, like, some young dudes. Yeah. He's playing at, like, Anytime Fitness or something.
Starting point is 00:04:44 It got me pretty pumped, though, yeah. Yeah, no, no, no, no. time. It got me pretty. Yeah. So, yeah. Yeah. No, no, no, no, no. The dunk. So obviously, yeah, definitely. He definitely didn't hit the dunk. No, you don't. You don't. You don't cut away from a dunk you make in your mixtape.
Starting point is 00:04:53 Yeah. But it's almost then they did as a joke because everyone would clearly be like, oh, they cut away. Who knows? Libby done rizzed up baby Gronk. This story is so dumb, but I don't. It speaks, I think, more to Libby than baby gronk i this story like is so dumb but i i don't it speaks i think more to livy than baby gronk anything livy does is like uber viral like who and then this guy this dude is like what the hell is this this is the video that caused it to go uber crazy viral so let's watch the video
Starting point is 00:05:20 i haven't seen any time he blinks you oh you haven't seen this josh I haven't seen any of this stuff. Try to count how many times he blinks. Oh, you haven't seen this, Josh? I haven't seen this at all. Libby just convinced Baby Gronk to commit to LSU. Baby Gronk is the number one college football prospect in the country. He averages 300 yards and five touchdowns a game. On his visit to LSU, Libby rizzed him up. Libby even hugged Baby Gronk. He might be the new Rizz King. Do you think Baby Gronk will lead LSU to a national championship?
Starting point is 00:05:48 Not one blank. So that went viral because that kid's being dead ass serious. He's dead ass serious. Dead ass serious. The guy that, the no blinker? The no blinkers being dead ass serious? Yeah, the no blinkers being like dead serious. And this guy, baby Gronk, and baby Gronk's dad reached out to me probably a hundred times
Starting point is 00:06:04 the last five years as as everybody in sports media. He's like, hey, can Baby Gronk collab with you? Will you follow Baby Gronk? We want Baby Gronk on this interview. 99.9% of people just ignore it. But now it's becoming a story because his dad, everyone's like, what is this dad doing? It's almost like he has Baby Gronk held hostage. In fact, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:06:24 He's like a stage mom. Yeah, there's a video. Do you have it? Yeah, it's not on the sheet because it happened after it was printed, but it's crazy. Yeah. Are you him is the real question. Yes. See, I'm going to punch him in.
Starting point is 00:06:35 Punch me. Ask that again, bro. Say, man, what kind of question is that? You see my Instagram? Say that. Ready? All right. Hey, Baby Gronk, are you him?
Starting point is 00:06:44 What kind of question is that look at my instagram would you take her to prom someday hey no say it again bro you gotta say uh say man uh i already be i already dm'd her and asked her and she said yes all right come on man sit on the mic hey babyk, would you take Libby Dunn to prom, you think? I already DM'd her and she said yes. Damn. Damn. It just goes on like that. So, did Baby Gronk's dad not think the whole thing
Starting point is 00:07:13 was going to be released? The whole thing is awkward, weird. I've never responded to him. I think the whole thing is just fucking weird. Yeah, I kind of feel bad for Baby Gronk. Big time. There's no way he's the number one college recruit though, right? He's like 12. According to Baby Gronk. Big time. Do we even know his real name? There's no way he's the number one college recruit, though, right? He's like 12. According to Baby Gronk, he is.
Starting point is 00:07:29 And no, Baby Gronk is not his real name. His real name is Madden, I think. No, I know it's not. You thought he was born like, hey. No, I said do we even know his real name? Oh, oh. Because his dad doesn't even say his name. His first name is Baby.
Starting point is 00:07:42 And he's using his little kid. I feel bad for him. Yeah, so he's been doing it forever, but it kind of was under the radar until the Livy stuff, and then the Livy stuff with that video just made the thing go crazy. Wait, what is this? Elon Musk takes a shot at Taylor Swift?
Starting point is 00:07:59 Uh-oh. And a now deleted tweet, Elon Musk compared Taylor Swift and Napoleon Dynamite while saying he's a fan in the same breath whatever that's not that big of a shot i guess that's not you can't be a real swifty i mean you know mushroom talk the guy was like an ale i feel like you're being a hypocrite you say she looks like the thing from men in black no um signs signs yeah signs oh like the No, signs. Signs? Signs? Yeah, signs. The movie Signs. Oh, like the little creature thing, right?
Starting point is 00:08:26 Her body posture. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So. Yeah. Well, I didn't say it was. It's not great Swifty behavior, Brie. Okay. Well, you said he couldn't be real Swifty, so I'm just saying.
Starting point is 00:08:39 I guess. She looks like the alien in Signs? Yeah, her body posture a little bit. I feel like she's starting to go a little bit. Not the face. She's just kind of gangly. Brazilian ticket scalpers terrorizing Swifties. Yesterday was the day Taylor Swift tickets went on sale in Brazil for fans like the ones we saw waiting since June 2nd.
Starting point is 00:08:59 However, ticket scalpers are invading the line by threatening fans with weapons, including metal clubs, verbally abusing Swifties in line, disguising themselves as senior citizens or people with disabilities to get preferential tickets. That doesn't sound great. Sounds really bad, huh? Yeah, it sounds terrible. Wait, what's the date?
Starting point is 00:09:17 Did they get the tickets yet? That was yesterday. That was yesterday? Okay. Yeah, that's tough. I don't know what we're supposed to say about that one. Flava Flav went to the E that one. Flava Flav went to the Eris tour. Flava Flav, I'm not an unlikely Swifty, I don't think, but good for him.
Starting point is 00:09:32 He got his own shirt designed. He has a bunch of the friendship. There's so many. Listen, there's tons of people who love Taylor, so that's good. Ed Sheeran breaks MetLife attendance record. I don't understand that one at all. I think it's just the setup of his concert. And people are comparing it to other artists,
Starting point is 00:09:48 but it's just because he does the center stage. So he has the back. Yeah, Taylor Swift could sell a million tickets if they let it. Yeah. Floyd Mayweather versus Gaudi III post-fight brawl. I didn't know these people were fighting. Huge brawl after the fact. It's a little curious.
Starting point is 00:10:07 Like, we talked about this on Barstool on the rundown, whether Gaudi is still, like, the mob. Because I wouldn't fuck with the mob. I wouldn't probably fuck with the money team. But, like, if the mob's the mob, you don't fuck with the mob. I don't care who you are. Yeah, they're going to really kill you, right? Because, yeah. Well, they're the mob.
Starting point is 00:10:24 Like Dave said, you don't fuck with the mob if they're the mob. Yeah, no mob. Now, I don't know if yeah they really kill you right because yeah well they're the mob like they've said you don't fuck with the mob but they're the mob yeah no mob no i don't know if they are anymore like at one point obviously his dad ran the gambino crime family one of the biggest mob organizations in the world i don't know that that's there i feel like the mob or they kill you well he got arrested i think he's dead right john gaudi or in jail he's also the mob yeah but i feel like when you're like when you're like that high up in the mob, you probably always are a little bit part of the mob. You still got that mob bone in you? Well, then something will happen on the money team.
Starting point is 00:10:55 Because if you fuck with the mob, they get their revenge. Kanye West's 46th birthday party. Kanye West has sushi served on naked woman's body as 46th birthday party. Kaneohe has sushi served on naked woman's body as 46th birthday party. This is a Japanese practice called Naya Taramiri, which is referred to as body sushi. That's awesome.
Starting point is 00:11:14 Yeah, I think that's pretty cool too. The body sushi? Yeah, real cool. I always wonder how much those ladies get paid. Because I think they have to lay there for a while. And I wonder if they can like, do they open their eyes? Super long.
Starting point is 00:11:29 How does the sushi not get warm? Because of your body heat. How does your sushi stay cold? You don't want warm sushi. It looks like they have like lettuce or like wraps over her, no? But you think that lettuce is repelling all of her body heat? Well, not all sushi is on like ice, yeah. Well, no, it doesn't need to be on ice but like i don't know they make 48 000 a year that's the sushi ladies yeah i would that's like our full-time job she's not just a model who got hired i don't know that's
Starting point is 00:11:59 we looked it up and they make 48 000 a year i feel like maybe it's a side hustle that one has to be like a model so i can't feel yeah i saw her actually posted so that doesn't make much sense um only fans model goes off on zion williamson after zion williamson posted gender reveal with akima only fans model mariah mills went on a tour to rampage mariah thought that her and zio were going to be a relationship because they've been sleeping together and she'd been motivating him to be the next leBron. She just went absolutely nuts on him. Tweeting, I let some of the tweets here, they're laugh out loud funny.

Most of us, both of us move in New Orleans. You think I wouldn't have found out. Your bathroom was filled with soda, bottles, and cans. No wonder you fat as fuck you not in shape fuck you zion i'm tired of being nice you hurt and humiliated me on and on
Starting point is 00:12:51 and on it went damn oh my god how do they think they're not going to get caught when people do this like obviously you're going to get caught a better question how did this only fans model think like you were the one like another woman came out named Yameel Taylor, also called out Zayn for flying her out, having her sit courtside, sleeping with her while he was with other women. Like, yeah. Like, why are these people, if you're getting flown out like that. You don't live together. Like, it's not.
Starting point is 00:13:20 Right. He was, like, paying her, too. Which is crazy. Yeah. This lady, Yamil. Someone tell my good sis, Mariah, if he moved to NOLA, I'll move in with you. I'm just an aspiring microblading artist.

Zion got a lot going on. Jared Leto scaling hotels in Europe. Over the last week, Jared Leto has been spotting scaling of hotels in Berlin and Paris with a harness for no apparent reason.

Starting point is 00:14:25 Amanda said she doesn't want to go into logistics of things right now. confirmed she and Keough are split after Chanel. She'll be moving without moving without him. Amanda said she doesn't want to go into logistics of things right now. She'll explain further in the future. Amanda also said the move is not a trauma filled thing and they will remain friends. Well, that's good. That is good. I hope she's okay. Him too. You gotta love an amicable breakup.
Starting point is 00:14:42 Yeah. Bryce Hall teases an upcoming fight. Teases a boxing fight coming in August, saying nobody in the influence of boxing scene will do what he's going to do, and that he's doing it for the wow, what the fuck factor. Josh? Yeah, what do you know about this? Yeah, he's stepping into a fight, I guess. He's been talking about it a little bit.
Starting point is 00:15:03 He's been in training. He's been doing a lot of cardio training. What's so amazing that everyone's like, oh my god, the 0-1 kid? Well, he's going into a bare-knuckle boxing match. So that's what's different about it.
Starting point is 00:15:19 That's different. I don't know if they released that or if I'm supposed to say that or if I'm not supposed to say that by the way but i don't know okay well that is different he'd be the first one to do that yeah yeah yeah he would be the first one which is cool which is cool um that's true yeah yeah and street fights are bare knuckle i think uh i think it's really just gonna depend on the opponent i don't know who he's fighting yet. I don't know how he really looks, but I think I'm going to root for my boy.
Starting point is 00:15:51 Nice. I'm hoping he's going to win. I hope it's just quick, honestly, because if you're going bare knuckles, you don't want a long match or else Bryce's face is going to be bashed in. I feel like you kind of want the quick end in a bare knuckle brawl. Yeah, you got to be a maniac in. I feel like you kind of want the quick end in a bare-knuckle brawl.
Starting point is 00:16:05 Yeah, you've got to be a maniac to sign yourself up for that. Well, if the shoe fits. Yeah, yeah. Don't they say the bare-knuckle fights are actually safer than boxing? I think it's headgear. Oh, headgear.
Starting point is 00:16:19 It's headgear. Yeah. I don't know. You can argue that both ways. The headgear, I've heard argued, like, it gives you false security, so you're willing to get hit in the head gear. It's head gear argument, yeah. Head gear. I don't know. You can argue that both ways. The head gear, I've heard argued, like, it gives you false security, so you're willing to get hit in the head more. Yeah, and it's like you have more, like, shake, like your brain gets hit more, where it's like,
Starting point is 00:16:33 if you just get hit once and you're out, you know? The Royal Guard trombonist plays after passing out all-time video. The Royal, you never know the Royal Guard. They play by their own rules, but the guy's just laying on the ground like passed out because of the heat there's a guy getting stretched out in the background and i guess you can't touch you can't stop it's a funny visual that's for sure is he still playing while he's on the ground he tried to i think a little bit he gets back up at one point at one point

No, that's her response, but it's not official.
Starting point is 00:18:06 That they're dating. I don't think they're dating. Does Keyless have any other songs than Milkshake? Yeah, but probably not ones that are as iconic, I would assume. I've been wondering who this Keyless girl is. I never asked who Keyless was because I didn't know and I didn't want to be embarrassed. You don't know that song Milkshake? well now I do it's better than yours

I would say it's probably more flattering than the ones you usually get. I don't know about that. I do. I would say it's probably more flattering than the ones you usually get. No, there's some guy in some, like, rustic commercial. I don't know what it is that everyone sends me all the time. The guy's fucking awesome looking.
Starting point is 00:24:35 Oh, you know which one I get? I get, like, an Emirates airline ad all the time. Oh, I haven't seen that one. I always get sent to Emirates Airline and get this guy like. Is he handsome? Airline suit on and everyone's like, Josh, you look like this. He's a good, he's a good. He's a good looking guy.
Starting point is 00:24:54 He's a good looking lad. The jacket continues to make it around the Eritrean. Jacket is in Detroit. Chicago continues to make it around. That's good. I think that's everything. All right, guys. Quick commercial break.

Starting point is 00:25:44 We got a special guest here. Dream. Dream. Where are you? Oh, my. Try my camera on. I saw for a second. What's this guy?
Starting point is 00:25:54 Isn't this guy like a big, huge Internet guy? Can't figure out how to get his fucking zoom to work. Is he in here? Can you hear us? I think he is. He just is trying to figure out the camera part. Oh, it's like Mr. out the camera part. Oh. It's like Mr. Pornhub.
Starting point is 00:26:07 Yeah, except this guy is like the exact opposite. He's some Minecraft, like, brilliant, like, person. And you can't get him on a Zoom. Hey, Zoom's tricky for everyone, all right? For Dream? It's tricky for everyone. I saw it. It was there.
Starting point is 00:26:24 It should just be in the top bottom left corner if you're on a computer maybe this is why I wanted to come into it in person I forgot zoom zoom is complicated hey yo what the hell just bored thought I'd send you a pic Josh you could have thought of something nicer to send What the hell? Just bored.
Starting point is 00:26:46 Thought I'd send you a pic, Josh. You could have thought of something nicer to send than that. Is he pranking us? He's still there. I can see him. Do you have contact with him? Like a number or something? What's he doing?
Starting point is 00:27:04 Just sitting there? Maybe he's hacking our system. I was thinking maybe he's gonna do another face reveal I'm trying to I don't know what's wrong with my camera It's being stupid. Do you see the bottom left when it says like start stop video? Yeah, I'm clicking it What happens when I do this and it says ask to start your video? It just says failed to start camera. I mean, start camera please select a different camera, but like it's working on my OBS. Should we just restart the entire thing? Let me just, let me restart my Zoom first.
Starting point is 00:27:42 It doesn't let me turn my camera on on Zoom. On the preferences, does it say that that's camera, the one that's selected? Let me turn my camera on and off. Yeah, it does. I mean, it's working on my OBS. It's not on Zoom. Let's turn the camera on and off. Oh, there we go.
Starting point is 00:27:58 There we go. Let me see if, let me make sure, I don't know if I can record. Local at the same time. It might be OBS that's messing with it whenever I turn it on, let me see if let me make sure. I don't know if I can record local at the same time. It might be OBS that's messing with it whenever I turn it on. Let me see. Yeah, it froze. Okay, well, I can use. How do I record my audio on Zoom?
Starting point is 00:28:14 We can record it on our end. There we go. All right. Ready to go. Yep. Yeah. This all started, I guess, or I should say, I didn't realize that we talked about you in the past, but it restarted because you were at the Heat Nuggets game.
Starting point is 00:28:31 I think you were actually sitting in the exact seat that I sat in. Really? Yeah. You were at the scorer's table, right? Yeah. Yeah, very odd seat. I saw you there. I didn't know what that mask was.
Starting point is 00:28:43 I was basically like, who is this guy and what is his deal and that started us going i didn't realize it if you don't know who dream is and now i think most people in our audience are gonna know i guess people at barstool were like this is our biggest guest we've ever had what was the comparison they said ronaldo oh for minecraft i was definitely not close to ronaldo not even remotely but yeah i didn't get that but that's how that's how high people held you in regard i i think that's crazy because like i think everyone in the world knows who ronaldo is i'm not sure everyone knows but anyways 31.6 million on your youtube made channel Twitch, 6.4, Twitter, 8.3, TikTok, 7.1, Instagram, 3 million.
Starting point is 00:29:26 So the numbers are the numbers. So you're a Minecraft guy. Your real name's Clay. I guess we should start. So after I posted that picture, you reached out. You're like, hey, I'd come on the show. Are you like a BFF fan? Like, why'd you want to come on?
Starting point is 00:29:41 I mean, I've watched some BFFs. I'm not going to say I don't want to be like, oh, I'm a'm a massive fan or anything i've seen a couple of i've seen clips and i've seen uh some of the podcasts so i mean i like the show i think it's cool so why'd you want to come on i say it's cool i mean i like uh i like um i've seen like a bunch of your like your pizza reviews and stuff so there you go and then obviously josh um i mean i i know some of josh's friends and stuff so um i mean obviously i know them i Josh's friends and stuff. I mean, obviously, I know them. I guess I know the least about Bree, but everyone else. Oh, you shot at Bree.
Starting point is 00:30:10 Get fucked, Bree. It's all right. Can I ask you real quick? Oklahoma, are you from Oklahoma? Why do you have the Oklahoma name? College football. I mean, honestly, I like sports. I'm not like a massive sports guy outside of college football,
Starting point is 00:30:24 but college football, Oklahoma Sooners, UCF Knights as well, because I'm from Orlando, but my family's from Oklahoma, and so I grew up watching the Sooners games. Gotcha. So what was the deal? Do you wear the mask in public 24-7? Right now, yes. I'm trying to.
Starting point is 00:30:39 I'm trying to. How do you get through security with a mask on? Like, how do they just let that slide oh it's so the heat game i mean that's the thing is this is actually such an interesting story so like uh i mean i wanted to go to the game uh that it was the final you know game for the finals and uh but i wasn't sure if i was able to bring the mask or not i was like i only want to go if i can wear the mask because obviously it's kind of marketing but also it's just funny that i'm there in a mask and so i'm like i'm in orlando so i'm like three or four hours from miami and i'm i'm like it's you know
Starting point is 00:31:09 only six hours before the game and there's communication going back and forth about like whether or not i can wear this mask at the game um and then i'm like i'm just gonna start driving because i can get on the way there and then figure out on the way there whether or not i'm able to bring it where or not and like as i'm driving i'm getting texted um from like one of my managers and they're saying like yeah it's getting escalated to the NBA field office right now they're like they're talking about it they're having like a discussion there you know they're like basically voting on it deciding whether or not you're able to wear this mask and then they came back and said no
Starting point is 00:31:36 you can't and I was like oh damn you know what should I turn around whatever and then like 30 minutes later we appealed it and they came back and said oh you know NBA field office got back and said you can i was like okay cool i don't i don't know i don't know what that means but we show up and then even when i was trying to get in uh there i got stopped by some guy as we were like walking onto the court um i was like no you got to take it off and i was like i you know got approved whatever they took us to the back and he was saying like there's no way anyone approved it was like i think it was uh it was like one of the top of like NBA guys that were there And he's like there's this guy would not have approved it and I was like well
Starting point is 00:32:09 I was saying the guy's name. I was like he did he said it was okay And then he's gonna pick like how high up was it like who approved it? Oh, yeah, I'm silverman or whatever So yeah, this is this guy said like it was the head at the heat the heats like head security or something as well And I was saying that's the guy who i talked to and he was like okay well it has to go past it has to go to the nba like the nba has to approve it and i was like no it did they held like a vote this morning um at the like the field office or whatever about about allowing me on and so then the guy's like there's no way he like called somebody and he said like the nba commissioner is here he has to he has to make sure this is okay you know whatever um because I guess the NBA commissioner's at the um finals games and um and so then he he
Starting point is 00:32:49 gets on the phone and he and he's like uh he's just saying did you approve this guy in this mask to go on on the court and then uh he kind of seems to feed a little bit and then he takes a picture of me and I do like that or whatever when he sent it to him and then he's like uh he's like oh you did I guess we just allow anything then and then like let me walk on the court uh with it and i was like okay well yeah it was a strange thing to say so you did that you wouldn't have gone to the so what you said you did this as marketing like you weren't going to go if you couldn't wear the mask yeah no i wouldn't i mean i wouldn't have gone if i couldn't wear the mask is i mean it's marketing but it's also it's it's also just a fun kind of experience of you know going there and being able to see
Starting point is 00:33:24 people's reactions and everything. What, like, if you didn't wear the mask and sat in those seats, like, does everyone recognize you at this point? Because you already, this is the part, I guess, as I was reading up that kind of confuses me. You did the face reveal, which is a big deal, and then you went back to the mask. Yeah, it's a very very recent thing i actually did it kind of on the way when i was driving to the the heat games when i published
Starting point is 00:33:50 all that stuff and and did when going back to the mask oh i didn't realize that so the mask going back to the mask is brand new yeah it just happened just happened a couple days ago um how long were you maskless uh since october of last year um why the mask again so uh it's i mean it's a long story but i i love the mask branding like just the mask itself is such a unique part of my brand that i had for such a long time and then when i did the face reveal i completely kind of got rid of it and i told people before i was like i want to keep it and i was waiting on this mask is like a it was made by the people who made the spider-man mask and the batman mask and and it's like a custom awesome mask and i was waiting on it to be made the Spider-Man mask and the Batman mask. And it's like a custom awesome mask.
Starting point is 00:34:25 And I was waiting on it to be made. And so it was being like designed and everything. And then it just took a little longer than I thought. And so I kind of lost that branding. I was like, I need a reason to kind of reintroduce it. Otherwise, it's just weird that I went for so long without the mask. And then all of a sudden, I start wearing it or whatever. And so kind of that's the biggest reason behind it is just a reason to kind of introduce it.
Starting point is 00:34:44 There's no – this is without being like mean reason to kind of introduce it there's no this is without being like mean but in the notes it's all blame it on austin uh it people are whispering because when you revealed it everyone called you ugly which i've seen your face you're not ugly you may not be brad pitt but like he's ugly was the number one thing on trending when you did your face reveal so did that have anything you don't give a fuck you can oh, I genuinely I don't care I mean, I think it's it's so funny if you go like the video Literally, there's tweets with like 30 million views on Twitter saying like dream You know deleted his facial video because of the hate and and I let it the number of this is the most DMS
Starting point is 00:35:20 I've ever gotten in like a short period of time being like oh my god. Are you okay? If you watch the video it is so it's my two best period of time being like oh my god are you okay if you watch the video it is so it's my two best friends coming in and like roasting me and saying you are ugly like put the mask back on you know whatever and the video i published where i was saying i'm putting it back on i don't know how it's been taken seriously but it has been taken i think it's just people there's like one headline and then all of a sudden everyone runs with the headline instead of running well you know actually it was the number one trend when you did it he's ugly number one trend so you gotta have thick skin to deal like nobody nobody wants that like no i don't
Starting point is 00:35:51 think now if you had to do it all over again would you have not taken it off like do you did it has it affected like what you're doing like to me once you reveal people know what it is it takes obviously a little bit of the intrigue of being like what does he look like right yeah no i mean i i would have i i still would have taken off i mean the biggest i i never wore the mask because of looks or anything i it was kind of a i happened to blow up kind of during covid and everything and so it was it was a more of a coincidence that i hadn't really shown myself and then it became a part of my brand and then as soon as uh you know covid was passed and my friends were able to come over from overseas and live with me and everything,
Starting point is 00:36:26 and I wanted to start doing stuff in real life, I was like, okay, I'm dishing the mask. So I totally would have, if I had, let's say I had this mask, which was way easier to wear everywhere. Cause the other mask I had was just some like, it's like a little like, oh, nope, I don't.
Starting point is 00:36:40 It's like a paper mache mask that you can't even see through. So I could not have worn it out in public or worn it anywhere. But like a paper mache mask that you can't even see through um so i could not have worn it out in public or worn it anywhere um but if i had this mask i i'm sure i would have done it differently i would have probably done more stunts and stuff before before revealing um but i definitely would have wanted to reveal because i want to be able to just go out and do normal stuff but well yeah but if you nobody knew what you look like you would be able to do even more normal stuff right you could do whatever you want well no no no i mean but even before i mean right now obviously even
Starting point is 00:37:08 after the face real everywhere i don't get i get recognized everywhere i go i mean like i go out i go to the gas station i get recognized but um but even before that like i had my voice was very recognizable and people know my like my general name and kind of where i live and my friends and i wouldn't be able to do anything i mean mean, I had people I got asked, like by one guy delivering a mattress to my house when I was still like completely anonymous. And he was like, hey, he's like, do you do YouTube? I was like, no. How did they put that together?
Starting point is 00:37:36 Just my voice. Just my voice. He said, you sound familiar. You sound you sound familiar. I was like, interesting. All right, I'm going along. So the mask is back on now are you just oh you're doing music yeah yeah tell me tell us about that uh i mean i guess i'll do the short
Starting point is 00:37:57 little spiel so i i mean i wanted to be a writer um since i was a kid that was my my dream job i youtuber and writer um i are author i guess um two 75,000 words, like young adult novels when I was like 16, 17. That's crazy. It was literally my entire life. When I was a kid was books. I read like a hundred books a year for like four years straight when I was 14 to 18. Um, and then kind of at some point I was like, okay, well I need to, you know, be more realistic. I, um, I started learning the code and that kind of became my thing for my real job. What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:38:27 What does that mean? So I learned to code Java and I coded Minecraft games, I guess, mini games within Minecraft for a long time before I did YouTube at all. And then as a more realistic, hey, you need to actually make money. You're not you know, it's hard to make money doing artistic things, I guess, like writing and and I guess music as well. But other stuff like that. And anyway, yes, I mean, I've had a big like drive to writing. A lot of my YouTube kind of became like storytelling, like my first videos were very much like creepypasta kind of type type. Not that, but like documentary style kind of videos. My very initial videos were very like like creepypasta kind of type type not that but like documentary style kind of videos my very initial videos were very like storytelling forward and everything um and even my video editing and stuff is very like storytelling based and so i that's kind of been
Starting point is 00:39:13 my big thing i've never i've never at all until you know three years ago saying anything like at all even in the shower or anything i mean i had no idea how you didn't sing in the shower. No, no, I don't know. I have no honestly I have no idea why I just never I never sang I I was always very like I don't know. I like I like to like dance. I like to you know, I obviously I love music But I know I already hiding your face from the world dude. You can't hide your voice, too The first time you sang you were like I have the voice of an angel it just came out no no the the first time i sang i sucked the first time i sang i have and actually the first
Starting point is 00:39:50 time i sang was actually sorry just go back barely um so i was scrolling on tick tock one day and um i saw parker pmbeta who i made my first song with um turning tick tock comment stories into songs and um i was like wow that's really cool and so i reached out was like hey man i love telling stories i have a bunch of stories i want to tell um i've never sang though i've never made music but i'd love to just try it and see what happens and so this was uh this was like three years ago you know pretty early on let's see we have it let's play the new dream song we have it let's see let's see yeah that's that's the newest one let's see the newest one until I end up dead
Starting point is 00:40:47 until i end up dead i'm gonna be just fine do you get weirded out when people are just listening you sing and gonna pass judgment no i i think it's i've gotten more used to it over time for sure i i i i'm down the middle it's not horrible i i i didn't get blown away it sounds pretty auto-tuned it sounds like a auto-tuned like kind of like poor man's jonas brothers vibe to me it's very It's very alternative. I was kind of getting like... You know Owl City? Yes, Fireflies, right? Yep, yep.
Starting point is 00:41:31 Owl City. It reminds me of Owl City. I was going to say that. I've gotten that a lot, for sure. That's a good thing, though. Fireflies was fucking huge. Fireflies was my favorite song when I was a kid. Yeah, if I heard that,
Starting point is 00:41:43 I don't think I would turn the radio or turn it up, if that makes any sense. It would just kind of be going. Yeah. All right, this is Minecraft. So this is how, obviously, you became super famous. You said you were doing coding. So can you give – I'm always curious.
Starting point is 00:41:59 You said your dream was to be a YouTuber. So how did you become who you are? How did you explode did you become who you are how did you explode onto the scene uh well so i i was kind of i was working a very normal like uh desk job i guess in uh in 2019 um or at the end of 2018 and i i'm such a like i'm i'm too creative to like i i cannot live without just being like able to just put creative stuff out all the time regardless of what it is whether you know whether it is just like YouTube videos or music or writing or whatever I'm very like uh um the eyeball just fell off of my mask by the way
Starting point is 00:42:34 if you can you couldn't see that brand new mask what the hell it is it is I thought the batman waited all that time for that it was my eyeball um talked a lot of shit about that he'd really talked that mask up for yeah I've been I've paid a lot of money for this thing i gotta i'm gonna have to fix it now um no but uh yes i in 20 in 2018 uh end of 2018 uh i was it was my first time in a long time i was actually just doing having a very normal job obviously before then when i was a kid i i i worked online i did i did did, um, a lot of creative stuff. I did writing, whatever. Um, and I was like, you know, I, I, I don't want to do this. So I saved up, um, $20,000 and, um, in the, at the end of, uh, at the beginning of 2019, I, uh, quit my job and, um, I was going to try
Starting point is 00:43:19 YouTube. I came up with a plan to, um, attempt it before I run out of my savings. And, um, I savings. And I put it together and gave myself until my savings ran out. And if my savings ran out, then I would go back to my job because I was good at it. So I would hope they would take me back. And yeah, so I quit in January of 2019. So what was your plan? Like, that's all great and dandy. Like, anybody can be like, oh, well, I'm going to go do this. But you became one of the bigger people on YouTube. So like what happened what was your plan and why did it work um well i
Starting point is 00:43:50 think there was there was a lot to it and there's a lot that i it was there was a lot a lot that was um very like i don't know some of it i don't want to talk about because i still do to this day and it's you know strategy based and i think that talking about it does change how things work because in my mind like the algorithm is kind of user based. And so if the users change their behavior, then it changes how your strategy can work. But but generally, it's like I just I looked into very meticulous about like descriptions and titles and thumbnails and how videos actually work. Intros like all those things matters. Like it's the little thing. Are you autistic?
Starting point is 00:44:25 I think I'm on the spectrum. I don't know where. You come across as very intelligent and maybe like child prodigy, the way you're talking, which kind of makes sense with everything you're saying right now. I saw Josh. I didn't mean that. Yo, you just caught me off guard, bro. I've gotten enough of that to not take offense. I'm glad, man, because you're a big man for that. If someone just interrupted me halfway through my conversation explaining how I came up after,
Starting point is 00:44:54 they asked me. They asked me to explain this story, and they go, are you autistic? Well, I was putting the pieces. I'm listening very carefully to everything he's saying, and he's writing novels at 14, and he's doing all this stuff that's very unusual for somebody at his age and very focused, and he's studying the algorithms and descriptions, and you don't hear somebody that age talk like that in the strategy. So it hit me that there's something else.
Starting point is 00:45:19 And by the way, I don't mean that in a negative way. I mean he's using it in a positive way. Yeah. I have very, very intense ADHD. So that affects my life in so many different ways, my ADHD does. But yeah, I think it definitely comes across in everything I do, I guess. I get very hyper-focused on something. And whatever that thing is for my year or for my month or for my whatever,
Starting point is 00:45:42 I will just do it every day from the morning when i wake up to the time when i go to sleep right now it's music but uh you know in the past it's been it has been full-on writing it's been making youtube videos it's been editing only it's been you know just just learning it's been reading it's been and whenever whatever i am hyper focused on it's just like that is my life and i will do that thing and i think that is very much because uh you know of my adhd so what is what is this people write fan fiction like like oh yeah horny fan fiction oh oh yeah no no yeah definitely you know you know the song uh heat waves i don't i think that doesn't mean anything i'm an idiot what glass animals play you probably know it oh yeah yeah yeah i know it yeah of course like that song uh there was a the number one uh fan
Starting point is 00:46:29 fiction on i forgot i forgot on i forgot what website it was like aol or not aol there's some website where there's like fan fictions on it and it wattpad yeah and it was the number one for like two years it was a fan fiction called heat waves about me and my best friend um like it was like a gay fan fiction about me and my best friend um and it it is like a big reason why that song or part of the reason why that song blew up like he was like a glass animal says like reached out to us we used it in like our meetup vlog like all that it i mean it's it was crazy that is crazy did you guys know that yeah i didn't know that my i actually it's funny enough i never read it both my roommates read it including my best friend um and they were saying how like it was hilarious but i never read it
Starting point is 00:47:10 okay i think he was maybe so taken back about your best friend's reading the fan i'm just having a flu game here i'm i'm sorry go ahead i wasn't taking back i choked on coffee trying to stay awake i'm sorry to cut off the fan fiction rant. I think I was done. We're done? Sorry about that. I asked you guys, were you aware of it? The heat wave stuff?
Starting point is 00:47:35 I knew the song, but I didn't know that this was going on with it. It was a fanfic. Yeah. I didn't know Dream kissing his homies made it like a big song. It's a massive ship. It's called DNF, and it's Dream Not Found, and my friend George Not Found and me. And so it's like a ship song there's a there's a big it's a massive ship it's called dnf and it's dream not found and my friend george not found and me and so it's like a ship between us um wait what is this i'm not you quote you tweeted i'm not gay i think women are very attractive some men are okay too i guess what is that just saying that what are you like uh lenny kravitz everybody's
Starting point is 00:48:00 attractive i don't know i don't know i feel like that's uh like that's one thing that people talk about a lot it's like my sexuality and stuff that's that's a big i guess like talking point i get people pissed at me saying i'm like queer baiting and stuff for for you know for making jokes and for um being very open like around my friends and stuff but i mean i i kind of i view it in the same way kind of that i i right now and that i view like my religion as an example like i say i'm agnostic because i'm not an atheist because I don't say there's no god I just like I don't I don't know I view in the same way with my sexuality like I don't like to say I'm straight or to say I'm bi because I don't really know and so I'm just waiting to see if I find more you're not saying you wouldn't kiss a
Starting point is 00:48:37 dude exactly you don't know until you know yeah but then then I think you're by yeah but i think i think if you don't if you don't know i'm gonna think i don't know i don't know i don't feel comfortable saying bye because i feel like there is a world where i'm not and then i and then i feel like i'm i'm claiming something that i'm not a part of so like so by curious by curious that's a good one yeah hey guys it's pride month all right yeah happy pride well done happy pride uh dream what do you think twitch first streamers That's a good one. Hey guys, it's Pride Month, alright? Yeah, happy Pride. Dream, what do you think Twitch versus streamers, this ad battle? I've seen a lot of this, people leaving
Starting point is 00:49:12 Twitch, they're going, what was the other platform they're all going to? Yeah, Kick, what's your take on all this? Twitch sucks. I mean, Twitch is so bad. I mean, at the same time, Twitch has been cool to me, but at the same time, Twitch has been cool to me, but at the same time, Twitch sucks.
Starting point is 00:49:27 I mean, they make a lot of stupid decisions and do a lot of stupid things. And they seem to always be like taking two steps in the wrong direction and one step in the right direction. And it pisses a lot of people off. And they're very like, they're not creator forward at all. And YouTube's done a much better job, kicks in a much better job. Even like Facebook has done a much better job
Starting point is 00:49:46 at, um, at for their streaming platform. So, so what do you think the future of Twitch will be? You think they're going to like drive themselves out of business? I, I don't know. I mean, that's, that's the thing is like, they've done such a bad job at keeping their top creators happy. Like I'm in the top 10 streamers on Twitch. I never streamed because they suck. They, they never, they, I mean mean I've never even got partnered for a long time because they wouldn't even offer me the higher split when everyone else getting the higher split and I was one of the biggest streamers on the entire platform I went to them being like hey can I get the 70 30 subsplit and they're like no okay I'm not going to stream them so I just didn't stream right um and so like I
Starting point is 00:50:21 don't know I feel like they are kind of kicking themselves in the foot and there are better competitors that are that are kind of spawning. I guess time will tell, though, if they can turn it around because they do have a massive market share right now, and they are known as, like, the streaming platform. They're also owned by Amazon. Yeah, and they have the money back in them. So are you currently streaming?
Starting point is 00:50:41 I stream very rarely. I stream, like, maybe once every other month once a month if that how many concurrence does like if you were to stream tomorrow like what's an average that you expect uh I think it really does depend on like what I'm doing I think my last my last stream was during a big event when like there was a ton of other people streaming I think I had like 40,000 concurrent or around somewhere around there um but uh but yeah I mean I've had I've had streams in the past during especially during COVID where it was like literally 350 000 people watching at once um but yeah recently it's it's you know under under 100 000 but above like 20 000 cool well
Starting point is 00:51:14 i appreciate coming on it was pretty interesting to learn about it for somebody didn't know much about it at all do you guys have any last questions i do i do what's the visibility like in that mask? I can see pretty good. It's actually not bad. I didn't feel like I was missing out much on the heat game that I was at. Are your eyes actually behind where the holes are? No, so this is just all this white

I saw the game and it seemed else. Got it. We have a game if we want to play before he goes, or we could end it. I saw the game, and it seemed like it was going to be, was it a basketball game? It's start one, bench one, cut one. So he would just pick someone he would choose.

Tim the Tatman. I shouldn't be saying these names. What did you just say? Honestly, I don't know enough about any of them.
Starting point is 00:53:09 The only one that I do know some about is Tim the Tatman, so I'd say I'd probably start him, and then I guess maybe Bench Symphony and Cut and Nick, but I don't know enough about either of them.

Starting point is 00:54:34 Oh, you put the Grace controversy with, like, FaZe recently. I honestly don't, I didn't read too much into it, but. What is that controversy? It's like FaZe recently added Grace, who's an actor from from or actress from Stranger Things, I think. And she hasn't as far as I know, she's she wasn't like a big gamer or anything, but she got added. But she does game. And so she got added to Faze, which is like the biggest, one of the most OG like gaming organizations. And then it was a massive controversy because people, all the OG Faze members were like saying, why would you add a not gamer? And you're just doing it because. Yeah.
