you to stream they want you to create content right because there isn't a lot of value and you just being good at the game there's value in people watching you becoming fans of you and then becoming fans of the organization of the team yeah because that's when the advertisers for the organizations can be like okay yeah this is this is good all right guys we got juicy j one of the most known clash royale players in the world i'd say right yeah i think probably one of the biggest content creators right now for streaming anyways for sure i saw you post on twitter you were like number one on twitch or something for clash Yeah, I think especially now, I stream on TikTok, YouTube, and Twitch. For English especially,

I'm definitely at the top for streaming. Wow, dude, whenever I go on my TikTok, you pop up and you'll have thousands of people in there. It's crazy. Yeah, usually it'll range from like 2,000 to 4,000. That's insane. And then on YouTube, see, I started streaming on YouTube Shorts

instead of regular YouTube, and, I started streaming on YouTube Shorts instead of regular YouTube. And then it's like TikTok 2. So I'll get like 2,000 to 3,000 on there. Wow. And then it's kind of like a double funnel to my Twitch stream. I didn't know YouTube Shorts had live. Yeah. It's kind of like, well, they started a while ago, but recently they started pushing it more.

So like you could literally be scrolling YouTube Sh shorts and a live stream will pop up. That's crazy. And yeah, it's really good. If you're trying to grow, I think I've gotten like 40,000 new subscribers on YouTube in the last 28 days. Incredible.

Just from subscribe or just from like YouTube shorts. I got to look into that. Can you even read all the comments? Cause that's fine. No, no. And then on Twitch, then I got another 1000 there.

I, I always try and tell people to come to the Twitch channel because I try to read those. But yeah, it's a lot of comments. You're going to need to get some moderators. Oh, yeah. I got a lot of moderators. Oh, you got them? Yeah.

Shout out to Oizi and Laddy. Nice. Yeah, because 5,000 people commenting at once must get hectic. Yeah. Yeah, I wouldn't be able to do it without moderators. Plus, you're like mid-game, so you really can't even lose focus. Yeah, I mean, whenever you're like mid games you really can't even lose focus yeah i mean i whenever you're playing any game if you get good enough at it you know like when the right time is to look at the chat

yeah with to like not lose but um yeah it's pretty tough yeah double elixir you're not looking no double elixir and definitely not looking triple elixir i mean yeah if you look up for a second you're gonna be you lost yeah what's the highest rank you've gotten in class royale i mean yeah if you look up for a second you're gonna be you lost yeah what's the highest rank you've gotten in clash royale i mean on ladder i've been number one multiple times wow the highest finish i got was like 33 holy crap yeah number one that's crazy yeah i mean i think back in the day like the highest peak players like 100 million i'm not sure what it is nowadays but it's definitely like not as popular with the updates and though like i think there's a lot of people that come back to the game okay

so it kind of lost its touch like fortnite for a bit yeah for sure but you know right now they're introducing like card evolutions like every certain amount of times you play a card it'll like get buffed out of nowhere and they added new tower troops like i mean you've played clash yeah it used to be always the princess tower but now there's the dagger duchess in the cannon here and it like completely changed the game and i think it's brought some people back to play because it's like okay what the hell is this right yeah it did feel kind of repetitive at a certain point but now with that there's more variation so that that could be fun yeah yeah because certain decks i mean i mean you're probably playing like six hours a day or something.

Yeah, usually I start my stream around 12 to 1 p.m. Central Time, and then I'll stream usually to like 6, 7, 8 p.m. Like I usually stream like six to nine hours a day. Holy crap. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I started streaming when I was like 15. Damn. So, and I just loved it.

And I just kept going until, you know, at one point I even quit Clash Royale. I started playing Call of Duty Warzone. I mean, that's another discussion. I have the number one win rate in the world for Call of Duty Warzone. Holy crap. Yeah, I had an 88% win rate over like a thousand games. That's crazy. Yeah, but you see, I had like less than 10 viewers during that and then i came back to clash royale because i saw a bunch of my friends like blowing up yeah

shout to cash man he was like blowing up on tiktok i was like i gotta do this and when i came back to that then i started popping off i dropped out of college i was like this is what i'm doing and it was probably the best decision i've ever made. Wow. So you always wanted to be a streamer when you were a teenager? Yeah. I think like Tfue and maybe, you know, when Fortnite was blowing up and streamers, like you could like really see that it was actually a job. Like at that point, like that kind of influenced me when I was younger. Dude, I used to fiend over Tfue videos.

Like as soon as it dropped, I'd be on it. Yeah. That was the guy during the Fortnite peak for sure. And he kind of stopped, but he had a good run, man. I mean, he got to, like, 10 million on YouTube in, like, a year or two. Yeah, I mean, the grind of just, like, streaming every day. And I feel like having, like, a team backing you up, if you're, like, posting. Hey, Prime members.

100%. Do you ever get burnout? Um, you see, I would say I get burnout for maybe playing Clash Royale. But like I said, I feel like streaming really is my passion because I could be, I could literally stream every day and I would never get bored of it. I feel that. Yeah. I mean, I've been going for over two years now of basically streaming every day. I think I streamed like 310 days last year.

And my goal this year is trying at least 330. Jeez. You're not even taking weekends off. No. Yeah. Usually, maybe I'll take a Sundayay off but that's it that is crazy you're locked in man yeah that's rare at your age i feel like to see someone like that yeah i'm turning 22 in like six days now crazy yeah that'll be fun yeah because there's a lot of distractions

your age and i feel like people aren't grinding as much as you so do you think that's kind of what separated you from other content creators? Maybe. I don't know. I think, well, I got into the Clash Royale League when I was really young. And people have always told me that I'm mature for my age. And I've never been super interested in the college life, frat lifeat life or drinking or going out like i've always wanted to i know i just i feel like i've always had this ambition in me i've always like felt like i was meant to do more than just go to school i don't know i always hated school really yeah i really hated school yeah gamers usually don't do well in school yeah

i mean i did fine i never like in high school i had one seat okay other than that i i had like a's and b's all the way through not bad but i like hated homework i just hate tedious tasks and i never studied for anything dude i still have nightmares about school i literally had one last night dude yes like i have a reoccurring nightmare where i have a reoccurring nightmare where i was told from my old principal that one of my grades like it wasn't it didn't like work and i had to go back to high school to do one class i was like i had literally have a reoccurring nightmare of that it's awful yeah i straight up have ptsd from high school i literally still dream have PTSD from high school.

I literally still dream I'm in high school class getting tortured. And you don't realize how kind of traumatic it is when you're in the moment. You just think it's normal. Yeah. It's pretty weird. Yeah, I was not meant for school, man. Yeah, and then I tried college. But you see, I thought college might be different.

It might be a little bit more challenging. But at least the first year and a half, it felt like it was just high school 2.0 i feel that yeah did you end up dropping out yeah i dropped out about two and a half years ago when um streaming started to pick up a little bit okay like i started making enough money where i could like move out um and i was like yeah i'm done with college and my mom was like okay well if you stop doing college you gotta pay rent if you're gonna stay here because she wanted me to stay but uh i was like all right fine i'll pay rent here like and then you know a year later i got my own house so shout out that mom no yeah good lesson you know i got she's when she told me to come on

here she she was like you better give me a shout out because i mean especially being a pro player and like having to go to china and like la and these other places like you need a mom that supports you if you're a minor like you can't go on your own yeah so yeah i definitely wouldn't be here without her for sure that's cool how was china you went there recently right no i went there in 2019. Okay. When I was 17, um, I was a solos world champion. Damn. For a clash royale.

Uh, there was like a team tournament and a solos tournament. And I wasn't in the team tournament at the time. So they had this qualifier for this solos tournament. It was, uh, the world cyber games. If you look it up, it's kind of like the Olympics of e-sports.

Like they have a bunch of different games. They'll give out, you know, gold or silver bronze medal um and i was the youngest american i think to ever win a gold medal for the world cyber games wow i was the only american to win the gold medal for any game that year in 2019 that's cool so that was really fun the funny part is my mom was more nervous than me like it was like big stage thousands of people in the crowd broadcasted like all these chinese like television stations and i mean you can look the video back but i was just sitting there i was just trying to stay calm i was taking deep breaths my mom was in the bathroom throwing up she said yeah she was like because it was like

50 grand on the line to Juan. And then the loser only got 20 grand. So it's like a 30 grand difference between first and second. Dang. Plus you had to pay for your flights. It was probably expensive. No, they flew us out. Oh, they flew you out? Okay.

Yeah. But I mean, 17 years old. I mean, 50 grand is a lot. That's like being a millionaire, honestly, at 17. Yeah. Like, what are you going to buy at that age? You can't even buy a car. Yeah.

I mean, i've never been one for buying stuff though either like i i don't know people you know i feel like that's the other thing about people my age if they're in my position they'd be buying cars watches for sure um but i mean i just save my money and i invest real estate stocks but i don don't know. I just, I feel like my goal is to, you know, make my parents and my sisters, like, like I have a list of like things I want to buy them and, um, you know, my future family, I just want to set them up. Right. That's cool. So you never went through a materialistic phase at all? No. Yeah. I, the only thing I buy for myself is food i i do i do eat

a lot of food i i like good food um door dash is my biggest enemy probably i need to look at how much i spend on postmates because it's got to be over 10 grand a year yeah it's it's probably pretty bad but you see i uh i justify because if i'm on stream then i'll only do it if i'm still streaming because then it's like okay you know if i'm streaming you know there's a lot of people watching me i'll stream a little bit later if i if i uh door dash um i don't know sims ripole or whatever yeah yeah i used to eat ripole daily man yeah that was that was so good um where you grew up like was it normal to become a gamer streamer no so Lincoln Nebraska um yeah I would say a lot of the teachers and or the kids and the teachers were jealous um growing up a bit anyways it felt like that because I mean I'd even get picked on a little bit. It's like, oh, you're going to L.A.? Because when I was 16 and 17, so I think, yeah, sophomore and junior in high school,

I spent part of the school year living in L.A. I was on Team Liquid for CRL Season 1 and Team Misfits CRL Season 2. And, you know, they set us up in a house out there. Everything's paid for. And they also, like, paid us a monthly salary just to play the game so i feel like a lot of kids were like a little jealous of the fact that i was able to do that like during the school year and yeah i mean there was nothing else like that in nebraska yeah you know so it was it's definitely a little weird i could see that i mean getting paid to play video games that's such yeah you know so it was it's definitely a little weird I could

see that I mean getting paid to play video games that's such a new concept yeah it is for most people like your parents probably were like confused honestly growing up yeah I would say my mom overall was like pretty supportive but my dad was like a little like okay ipads gotta be on the charging station by 8 p.m bed by 10 p.m and i'd be sneaking down to grab it because like end of season ladder for clash royale and like you know every month like every sunday it goes to like 3 a.m yeah because it's like based on like finland time or something and yeah i i definitely had some uh ipad sneaking oh yeah i used to sneak down in my basement to play i was a pc gamer yeah growing, so I used to sneak down there.

But it's cool to see that you're versatile. You said you were good at shooters too, FPS games. Yeah. So growing up, I mean, this is a good story of how I got into mobile gaming. Growing up, I never had a console. And I got my first phone when I was in sixth grade. So I was always playing outside and stuff, but I got my first phone when I was in sixth grade,

and Clash of Clans was big then, right so i was into clash of clans and then seventh grade or maybe eighth grade um when i was 14 clash royale came out and i was immediately hooked so i was grinding clash royale and i basically never stopped ever since then um but yeah that's why i never really got into like console games or anything like that. But when I won the World Finals when I was 17, I got some money. I was like, all right, it's time to drop some money on a PC. So I got a PC. And when COVID hit, a lot of the Clash Royale tournaments kind of stopped at that point.

There's no more live events or anything like that. So during COVID, I quit Clash Royale for one year, and I played Call of Duty. It was my first PC game ever. But I don't know if it's talent or what, but I was like 4.6 KD. I was playing on mouse and keyboard, not controller. Controller aim assist is insane for that game.

And then, yeah, I was like... I met some people, and had like the number one win rate for warzone um 88 over a thousand games and then i got bored of winning so then i went to rebirth island and i would think i i was like one of you know maybe the hundred or a thousand maybe mouse and keyboard players that would had 40 kill game on Rebirth. It was fun. I mean, yeah, I don't know how I or why I got into that game, but it just kind of happened.

That's insane. Did you ever get in the Fortnite wave? Because you'd probably be filthy at Fortnite. Yeah. I mean, so when Fortnite was huge, I was actually in LA, a pro player for CR cr so i didn't have a lot of time to play it but i've always thought that i could actually go hard at fortnite i've always said if fortnite ever comes out with a first person um like if they come out with a first person no

build mode yeah i would be all over that i feel that yeah i play no build right now yeah no builds i'm actually top 5 000 which i don't know that's oh that's fine i mean compared to you that's i mean top 5 000 out of how many players though yeah that's like 0.001 probably yeah i think it's 0.1 or something um yeah my katie's like 18 in trios but there's a lot of bots in fortnite that is actually crazy katie though yeah but it's not all real players sure they i think literally half the games are bots. It's pretty crazy. That's actually kind of wild.

Yeah. I don't know why they do that. Yeah, I think Clash Royale is just now getting into putting some bots. Oh, there's AIs playing? Only in the low arenas so they can get up. But it's just an interesting concept. I guess they do it for two reasons. They want to make it so that everyone has a chance to win. And then they also do it so you know have to wait for a match too long i guess

but that makes sense because there's like eight year olds playing fortnite that want to kill yeah and if there's no boss i mean it's tough yeah exactly yeah uh any eyes on other games are you all in on clash right now right now i mean i think it'd be silly to step away from Clash just because of, like, the growth is pretty crazy. Yeah. Like, I think two days before I came here, I had my first Twitch stream where I hit over 2,000 concurrent viewers. So, and that's kind of unprecedented for Clash. Really? Like, before I started stepping into Clash, especially for English, I mean, there's like Morten.

He's like one of the only pro players that actually does content too. Like he usually, if he streams Clash, will be over a thousand concurrents. But when he's not streaming, the Clash role category is like dead. Like there's like maybe sometimes less than 100 viewers. Wow. But when I started getting into it it i started taking some things that i learned from warzone because there's a lot of warzone streamers that stream on tiktok at the same time i was the first person in the class route category to stream on twitch and tiktok

at the same time which is why i absolutely blew up twitch wise because i mean twitch has no algorithm no like the rich get richer on twitch like whoever's highest on the viewer list is going to get more viewers right so if you can stream on like i was streaming on tiktok and twitch before twitch even technically allowed it because now they actually allow it but yeah i started doing that and you know first stream on tiktok the discoverability is insane yeah i mean you know i'm. And, you know, first stream on TikTok, the discoverability is insane. I mean, you know, I'm good enough at the game. The first stream, I had over 1,000 viewers. Wow.

The second stream, I think I had my all-time highest of like 10K concurrence on TikTok. It made no sense because if it's your first stream on TikTok, all you have is the camera. I was literally pointing my camera at my monitor at OBS. Yeah. Like, it was insane. But, you know, come to the Twitch channel. And, you know, if they stay on Twitch, then they'll stay a little bit longer. Like, I think my viewer retention on TikTok, like, the average time a viewer will actually watch is, like, 60 seconds.

Wow. Like, they watch 60 seconds. So, they're in and out. And they scroll. But if you get them to the Twitch, then it's, like, 17 minutes or or longer i don't actually know yeah and that's more valuable yeah wait because you can build a community yeah and i mean obviously you want people to watch as long as possible do you want to sign a streaming deal one day um i would say I would. It depends on if it's worth it. Yeah. Um,

I'm not opposed to it, but I think there also is merits in, um, being on your own for certain things. Yeah. Because like if you're on a team and they have certain categories of sponsors filled up, then you're not gonna be able to do that with someone else.

Oh, okay. Like, let's say i signed a deal with um oh so when you say streaming deal though you mean like with a platform yeah like ninja did it oh aiden ross yeah i was thinking like a content creator deal with like a like an esports organization that's different oh okay yeah but i mean i think like for example if i was offered a kick deal like obviously if it was big enough i would probably say yes but i mean i don't know i like i said i've been streaming on

twitch and i was 15 yeah so i mean that's home for you yeah it's home but i feel like there's a lot of people that watch me there too yeah so i don't want to lose the like super solid community i've built i feel that aiden just left kick did you see that aiden just left kick two days ago yeah no way yeah he's going back to twitch oh yes yeah that is gonna be pretty hype yeah that is actually wild yeah they turn i don't know what happened but he had a big deal there i heard it was like 100 million and then something happened yeah i mean i wonder yeah i'm gonna have to research that yeah that's crazy these these numbers i mean xqc have you seen these contracts

it's crazy yeah i mean i think xqc made more than messy like like which is it makes no sense like that is wild but i don't know i feel like the world and the internet in general is just like if you bring in people to watch, advertisers can sell to them, and the money is just crazy. It's a new era. I really respect guys like Nick Merckx who were streaming before the money was there, and then he came into a huge deal. Because you too, you were grinding for years.

Yeah. I mean, when I was streaming Warzone, I had less than 10 viewers for a straight year. And most people would have stopped there. They would have been disheartened by that and just gave up. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I don't know if it's like the interaction with like the people that want to watch me or I don't know. Maybe it's just because I have ADHD and it's all flashy.

Yeah. I don't know. It's just it's really fun. And now you see kind of two sides. You see the money from the pro gaming side and then the streaming side, right? Yeah. Yeah, I think that,

like for example, Muhammad Light, probably the best player for Clash Royale in like two years. He's over $500,000 prize winnings, which I mean, especially for his age, like that's a lot.

But I think a content creator can be a lot more lucrative because there's no cap to how many people watch you if your content is becoming better and better. And to be a pro player, you have to be number one to really make a lot of money like that um but like me like when i was a pro player you know i was a solos world champ one year but other than that like i don't have like a crazy record when it comes to um like playing pro like i wasn't making like a crazy amount of money because when it comes down to it even if you are a pro player a lot of these esports contracts

nowadays want you to stream they want you to create content right because there isn't a lot of value and you just being good at the game there is value in people watching you becoming fans of you and then becoming fans of the organization of the team yeah because that's when the advertisers for the organizations can be like okay yeah this is this is good that makes sense yeah if the top player in the world is only making 500k i mean it's gonna be tough for anyone else to even make money at that point yeah and then yeah that's the one thing though about like fort, like if you're a pro Fortnite player, you can really stream it a lot and you can, you can do both. But like for Clash Royale,

there's like one person like Morton, like he's been to the world finals every year. Like he's super consistent and he's very good on YouTube and, and Twitch and streaming all that. But he's like the only one that does it because if you stream yourself playing clash royale you can give away tactics yeah and you don't want to stream yourself practicing because then you give away what decks you're using as well so it's really hard for pro clash royale players to get into content because of that right because you gotta practice for like eight hours six eight hours a day but you can't stream yourself practicing

yeah it's like a catch-22 yeah and then muhammad light also is like full-time college student too oh wow so that's crazy yeah the fact that he's number one being a full-time student is nuts yeah it is he's got to be one of the people that have the most work ethic that i've met he's super nice too that's cool um so at your level like you're probably all about the same skill level, right? So does it come down to the actual decks? I think that when it comes to pro players playing against each other,

decks do matter a lot. And I think for the longest time, people, that's actually one of the reasons I quit pro Clash Royale is because back in the day, like maybe two, three years ago, that was what people thought we thought that it only comes down to the matchup and their skill was leaving the game

and then about two years ago muhammad lights i mean i was so now i'm not a pro so we talked about pro player we talk about content creation yeah but Supercell actually hires me to commentate their matches. Okay. So I'm one of the casters at the world finals. Nice. So, so yeah, I,

I watch all these pro players play. And so in 2022, Muhammad light, there's monthly finals. And if you win, you get a golden ticket to make it to the world finals. Muhammad light won every single monthly finals that he played in wow and he basically proved that it's not the decks he's actually that much better like he was winning every single one

and he wasn't getting the golden tickets because he qualified already yeah but he was just taking the like i don't know like every month there was like a 20 grand prize like 20 grand he was just 20 grand this month 20 grand this month it's like gimme there was like a 20 grand prize, like 20 grand. He was just 20 grand this month, 20 grand this month. It's like, gimme, gimme. Like he was just actually winning every event. And yeah, it was very impressive. So he's just him. Like he's the guy.

Yeah. I mean, this is turning into him. Obviously you can tell I'm a Muhammad Light fan boy. Like this is turning to Muhammad Light podcast. But no, yeah, he's really good. And to get back to the question, I think he kind of proved that it's not the decks. If you're good enough, like you're going to win.

Wow. That's interesting. Because I would just tilt sometimes, honestly, when I used to play. And when I would see like the perfect counter to my cards, I would honestly give up. Yeah. When I was younger,

I got so mad about losing to like matchups like that. And growing up and also seeing him, but I think it's maturity too. I don't really rage as much on stream. It's like, all right, it is what it is. But it's like, I could have played better there. I could have played better here. You either win or you learn.

If you go through a match and you lose, and this applies to anything, like if you are losing and you're not learning something, then what was the point? Always either win or learn something from that loss so you don't do it next time. Yeah, I've never seen you rage on stream. I've seen you for years.

That's good. It happens sometimes. Oh, yeah? Yeah. But usually it's if I'm doing like a crazy sub-a-thon. I used to do a 24-hour sub-a-thon. I saw that. Every month. And I stopped doing like a crazy subathon. I used to do a 24-hour subathon. I saw that. Every month.

And I stopped doing it because of like health reasons. Like especially like going to the gym. Like you're dead for like a week after that. Like your sleep schedule is dead. They say you're actually a little drunk when you stay up that long. Oh, yeah. The symptoms are very similar. Wow.

I think like the biggest symptom of streaming, like staying up that long is one thing but streaming with bright lights and like being active for that long it's so mentally tiring i mean i've talked to my friend oxley who does subathons like this too i think one of the biggest symptoms is everything that you do you second guess if it was okay or not yeah like you're actually paranoid like if you're doing the right thing and then even like past mistakes will like come up in your mind and you're like oh like you just feel like is this okay am i doing a good job it's kind of like weird but you start losing rank

when you're playing that long when i play that long i stop playing rank like because i know i will yeah because clash of house is a game that for three to five minutes you have to have 100% complete mental focus right like even streaming for six hours by the end it's like i can't like i'll be losing like i i cannot be this locked in i feel that yeah that's how i am with fortnite and even like with podcasting because i'll film 68 episodes a day but near the end i could see myself losing a step yeah and people are like why are you tired because i'll come home after like filming yeah and they don't get it it's like a different type of tired yeah i mean i think chess players if they use they sit down um because they play chess for like seven hours right yeah they can burn like 10 000 calories literally with like

their brain they're not moving and i feel like i don't know there hasn't been studies on streamers like there has been like chess players like that but it is very fatiguing mentally um like you're not physically tired but by the end of a long stream like mentally you are done yeah and you said you eat a lot earlier so there's probably some some correlation there yeah it might be like i feel like i would be fat if with the amount of food that i eat if i wasn't like burning some calories sitting there yeah there is that typical video game stereotype of fat person mom's basement yeah yeah really nerdy like yeah but you're breaking the mold a bit yeah i think after the so this is a funny story on this like uh after i won the world finals in 2019 i came back home and there was like news articles like local news articles

written and then the local radio station had wanted me to come on and when they came on when i came on the first thing they were basically saying was like, oh, we expected you to be like a, you know, the stereotypical, like, you know, chubby, like super, super socially awkward, nervous. But I was just like, yeah, I don't know. I was just I was just chilling. Yeah. It's one way or the other. It's either a super skinny kid now or just a super fat person. Yeah.

That's interesting. Like all these teenagers that are playing Fortnite are super skinny. That's interesting. Have you guys? They probably don't eat a lot no you're just locked in you have no time sure when you're playing fortnight because you literally need both hands yeah i think when you're playing can you kind of that's like one thing that's actually a meme in my channel it's like how is this guy winning while eating because like i'll be sitting there with like a burrito like and like i'll be like playing like top ladder and my chat's just like this guy plays 10 times better while eating than i play locked in that's so funny chipotle needs to sponsor you then no i i don't know why i'm referencing chipotle i mean i would be down for sure oh man chipotle is good um what are you working on when

you get back you're here for a bit yeah i'm going to i think we're leaving tonight okay and then i'm getting back on that stream grind back to streaming yeah i don't know if it's like i don't know if i'm addicted to streaming or what but like if there's if i'm more than one't know if it's like, I don't know if I'm addicted to streaming or what, but like if I'm more than one day without streaming, it's like, I feel like I'm not being productive. Like I feel like I need to get back. I took like a week long vacation with my family like last summer. And like after three days, I was like,

I want to go back home. Like everyone was having fun, but I don't know, workaholic, I guess to go back home. Like everyone was having fun, but I don't know. Workaholic, I guess. I can't do week-long vacations anymore. My max is like four days. I relate to that. Because if I'm not working, I get anxious.

Yeah. No, I 100% agree. And that's the thing about streaming though. It's like if you're a YouTuber, you can pre-record things and have things be posted. And that's the other thing about streaming. It is just like you need to stream every day if you're not streaming every day maybe you take one day off a week uh if you're not doing that you will lose viewers they will find other people to watch and i mean part of that's just because of how competitive it is uh i mean every little kid used to grow up back

in day oh i want to be an astronaut i want to be a firefighter yeah now it's i want to be a content creator i want to be a streamer so it's just like the most competitive like thing in the world yeah there's so many on tiktok now yeah like i just keep scrolling up it's non-stop class videos and i used to watch surgical goblin but he stopped so then i switched and yeah it's easy to switch yeah surgical goblin he's my teammate oh yeah for crl season one oh nice yeah he back then he was grinding youtube videos and stuff i i think he still does post videos but i think he switched to fortnite last time i saw i don't know if he switched back yeah i think yeah you're right he did switch to fortnite at some point i think he switched back to clash now okay but you know now

he's got a he's got a kid now. Wow. Yeah. Dude, we're getting older. Yeah, we are. I can't believe that. Yeah. Wow, good for him, man. Yeah. Oh, I was on your Twitter.

You had a personal goal to read a nonfiction book. Yeah. I mean, I think starting maybe a year or two ago, I went on this self-improvement journey, like trying to work harder, number one, which I've always done that. But I started going to the gym journey like trying to work harder number one which i've always done that but i started going to the gym um started trying to eat healthier um also just like spiritually like uh try to go to church more try to you know try to you know do service more um but i think if

there's one thing that i don't do is i don't read. I do find myself scrolling TikTok at the end of the day, and I would love to supplement that with a self-improvement book or even a psychology book. I've always kind of wanted to read the 48 Laws of Power. Yeah, Robert Greene. Yeah. I don't know. I just saw a TikTok once.

It was like it's banned in prisons or something because of like the manipulation aspect of it. Yeah. But then I saw more of like his stuff where, you know, it's not really manipulation. It's more of just understanding like how the people around you view you. Yeah. I think that would be a good book to read. I agree. Yeah.

It's tough these days with our attention spans though. Yeah. TikTok has drained our attention book to read. I agree. Yeah, it's tough these days with our attention spans though. Yeah. TikTok has drained our attention spans. Yeah, I agree. I'm more of an audio book guy for that reason. If I pick up a book, it's just so hard. Yeah, I think the last book I've read, I was probably like, I don't know, fifth grade.

I read the whole Harry Potter series like twice, but I've never actually sat down and read a non-fiction book so that's why it's a goal i feel that dude it's been fun anything you want to promote or close off with um follow me on twitch juicy jcr cool link below thanks for coming on man thanks for watching guys we'll link the twitch below if you want to check them out otherwise see you next time
