What a goddamn week what a week what a week what a week what a fucking week however yeah while we have had one of the most uh drama inducing dramatic weeks of all time so far i decided to take a sidestep from all of the random shellacking i've been getting for literally absolutely no reason whatsoever other than,

other than kind of breathing the same air as everyone else on the fucking platform. And, uh, breathing offense me. Yeah. Oh, fuck you.

This guy, I feel like I've walked in on a couple arguing. Yeah. We just, uh, yeah, he's loving this, but we,

we don't have to talk about all that because attractive Welsh man. I know. I was going to say, I didn't, I, you told me to come on and I was like, I don't know anything about the drama. So I hope you don't ask me anything. No.

Okay. Just kidding. I don't know what we're talking about. I lied to see dog VA. It's like an ambush. Also known as Connor Dog Virginia. Okay. As I like to call him.

Also known as Connor Dog voice acting. Right? Is that what that is? Yeah. That's where it came from. Voice acting. You do voice acting? Yeah, yeah, I do. He's here.

The handsome Welshman. He has, you know, he's dominated Japan for a very long time. Oh, thank you. Escaping immediately after, you know, Shinzo Abe got assassinated. It was weird.

I was kind of a motion of timing. It's kind of awkward that you're here when you've been living in Japan. We talked about the allegations that you're a Welsh sleeper cell who was sent to... I like the idea that I would be able to know

how to make a gun of any kind. See, I didn't accuse you. You jumped to that conclusion. Extra drama! Clip it and ship it. Let's go. That's a guilty conscience. Yeah. This is such a chill vibe podcast.

It is a chill vibe podcast. This is a chill vibe podcast. It's so chill vibes that I got us a cold brew. Hell yeah. So we upped the chill vibes. I always give myself like double oat. I drink two of these bad boys a day. Double chilly vibes.

I'm crazy. Two regulars. you wanted soy i did that was why you gotta out me on the podcast like this god this welshman you said that so loud man how are we gonna get liam neeson to play you bro you literally it's nutrition soy the funniest part is like he sounds like yeah i will take a soy latte i would like this soy you know i'm in america and it's hard to stay healthy. And so I'm trying to save calories wherever I can. Yeah.

No, just give up. Milk is the one that's gotta go. I should just give up. I swear I've eaten like 4,000 calories a day. We're gonna get diabetes in the United States. Yeah. It's just part of the- Part of the culture.

I can't figure shit out. Like I don't, when I order something on Uber Eats, I have no idea if I'm getting like a snack or a giant meal. Yeah. And it's like, it's like $12. I'm like, $12 doesn't tell me the size at all.

I can't figure this out. And so it's always just giant in the end. And I always, I think you just can't order food. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe. You gotta make it yourself

or else you gain in weight. It's impossible traveling doing that. But no, it's, I like being in LA. LA is fun. It's a very different change of pace to japan yeah yeah what no i'm just working on this guy japan doors open october october 11th yeah they opened it finally that's good yeah trip are you

coming i mean i live he's there i can be a pseudo tour guy. Why do you think we... You can just say yes. You don't have to. Okay, yeah, I'll be there. Wait, wait. Why do you think we had him on the podcast? This is it. This is the Ludwig technique where he's like,

oh, boys, the plan is simple. Come on, Connor. We're going to be best friends. Only so that we can... Ludwig and I have been talking about going to Japan for a very long time. Yeah, I mean, if you have someone who kind of like speaks a little bit of Japanese,

going around Japan is way easier. all right here thought exercise okay day one we're doing something day two we're doing something i want you to meditate on day like six a deep cut something off the beaten path not touristy where are you taking us what are we doing muscle bar muscle bar that's that's kind of well known now the muscle bar girls love me there's some really once a week wait what i think i've been laying groundwork stay the fuck away from my muscle girls your muscles are you fucking joking i'm gonna go in there and arm wrestle and hug them all dude what the fuck no i'm gonna arm wrestle them they they do they dm you guys they dm me on like Instagram.

Okay, he's done, he's done. You're about to get Shinzo Abe'd, baby. Okay, let me tell you something. I'm gonna make a gun out of this room. Look at this fucking guy, dude. No, no, this is not, okay, this was meant to be a flex. Like I, you know, cause I film a lot of stuff where I go to like weird shit in Japan and then we,

you know. This guy just said all the muscle, all the muscle girls DM me. No, no, no, no, okay. They, the person running the Instagram account is like, hey, you know. This guy just said all the muscle girls DM me. No, no, no, no, okay. The person running the Instagram account is like, hey, you wanna come film? And I would have, but one of my friends has already done it on their channel.

And I was like, I don't wanna double dip. You know, I feel like that's rude. What? I don't know. Maybe not right away. Maybe I'll do it the next time. But I mean, yeah, I mean, there's so many weird bars as well

that don't get covered on YouTube that can't be in YouTube. Like there's- Oh, what? Okay, this is sounding like it's up my alley. Yeah, there's a lot of really, really fucked up ones. Oh, well there is in Korea, not in Japan, very different country for those of you who are following. There was a Fourth Reich bar.

What? Oh. Yeah, there was like a Nazi bar that's like literally Nazi themed. They have like Adolf Hitler as a cocktail. No, no. They tried to open one of these in Osaka in Japan. I was about to say, I know their asses were trying to do that in Japan. You know, I'll skip that one.

What's one of these other fucked up ones? Yeah, not looking like this. It's a little suspicious. Oh my God, he's here. Finally. We've been waiting for you, Mr. Villeneuve. The perfect customer. We knew if we opened a lady bar in Japan, you would come eventually.

So there's a bar I've really wanted to go to for a long time, but it seems like to get in is like really difficult. There's a Vore bar of like, and you have to- Like the consuming fetish. Vore. Yeah, so you have to- People consuming yeah yeah yeah so you have to like people for those of you who don't know vor is when like you have a fetish of being eaten yeah yeah we're doing the eating eating too as well it's so i've heard again this is like legendary i've been trying to

figure out how i can go to this place because i really want to film or do something there you have to drop subtle hints like you start th throating, like out of nowhere. You're just like, yeah, you're just like, what's up? I like soy and also, and then, and then people will be like, whoa, he's boring. Apparently the entrance is like a slide. That's like slimy, like kind of like you're entering like that is disgusting.

Yeah. Right. It's that's fucking. And you have to like sign waivers and shit before you go in to say like, you know, I don't know. There's a lot of really fucked up things like that in Japan. But again, like you can't cover this on YouTube because you can't show it, right?

Just for the people at home. I don't know. And definitely- You can't show that. You can show it on Patreon. Yeah, but then the second- On the fear on Patreon? On the fear on Patreon.

Yeah, yeah. On the fear on Patreon. Behind the paywall. That would be good if, and this is the second and probably biggest barrier, is that a lot of these dudes just do not want their things filmed. And they're so, a lot of the times they're just like, no, don't bring a camera anywhere near this.

Don't, and if you try to- We can close it out for the night on the Patreon. The thing is they normally don't want you to film. Like- No, I'm saying like we could like literally- Even if you pay them. Even if you're like i will give you stupid amounts of money let me take over like no i don't know why they some places are like

this i mean so that's the weirdest one just for the people at home just for the folks at home and no one in the room what's the sexiest one the sexiest what fetish do you have this is not for us this is not for us we're just asking. We're asking because we want to avoid it, right? Yeah. If you name a fetish, it's out there. I mean, just for the guys out there that love big, fat titties. There's so many, like, dom balls. Okay, so, like, let's say, hypothetically, you are looking to be put into a medically

induced coma by being concussed after bulbous. Large breasts. Bulbous rotund breast disease. I'm pretty sure there's places you could go. I don't know off the top of my head. We would like to avoid that place. At all costs. I'll send you the Google link so you can block it. So you never go there.

I'll send it out. He gets it. He gets it. I wouldn't want you to accidentally go there. Yeah, no, no. That would not be good content. I hate when I'm walking around and then, yeah. My Patreon.

I mean, yeah i for me a lot of the the funnest parts of japan are just going around the really like crazy hole in the wall bars just kind of exploring you know you'd never see this stuff on like tourist sites or anything like that it's just you know you get to kind of get a slice of life of what it would be like if you're a japanese businessman but you also get to you're a tourist so you don't have to worry about working 12 hours and then being depressed. I want to be a company man. Yeah.

Salary man. Do you guys want to dress as salary men? I love that. No, that's sick. No one's ever done that, right? No one's ever done that.

People have done like, Paolo's done like the life of a salary man. Where do they poop? Like, you know, because he does that. So what are you going to do for like the- Are you boys with Paolo?

No, I've never spoke to Paolo no I've never that's crazy what yeah I don't know I guess some groups don't really interact

with each other dude I would fucking I would be boys with Paolo yeah his obsession his obsession with like the toilets

in every establishment that he's in is unshakable okay you always want to see the toilet every video he's like well and this is where they poop and then it's like to see the toilet. Every video, he's like,

well, and this is where they poop. And then it's like, it zooms in on his face and he's like, I'm like, what are you doing, pal? Why are you in the bathroom? There's a bar for that in Japan. Probably. There's a bar for everything. No, there is definitely poop bars.

Like where it's all like poop. I legit don't want that one. Because it's like, okay, in Japan, right, it's like the poop, like the cartoon kind of drawing of it, like the swirly emoji kind of thing. That's seen as like a cute and a kind of not gross thing. That's so weird. Yeah, it's pretty interesting.

I just find it fascinating. I mean, that's why I love living there. Like every day is just a trip. You just learn something new. You know, you were, before we started the podcast, you were saying, like, you know, it's, like, never-ending content. It's the land of never-ending content. And you can just, like, cut so much stuff.

Like, everything that you would do in Los Angeles, you could do in Japan, and it's, like, instantly more interesting. Yeah. And I didn't realize, like, it also makes you a more interesting person because you can just talk endlessly. Like, you know, we don't even need Lo. When he comes in, I'm just going to bully him. I'll be like, dude, just leave.

I feel bad because sometimes I'm, you know, I'm talking to people and they have a lot of questions, but I'm like, do I ever just shut the fuck up? Like I always just talk about Japan. I'm like, man, I should just stop mentioning that I live in this place. I feel like it gets boring after all. No, it definitely is not.

Not for us. I've never been. You've been to Japan? No. I think everyone has to go there at least once in their life. I just want to go. I wanted to do company man cosplay.

Why the company man? Why do you want to be a salary man? We did road men. We did road men in the UK. We need to do salary men in Japan. You did road men in the UK? Yeah, we did. It was pretty good.

Whereabouts did you do road men? We just went- Just in London? In the streets of London. Oh, this isn't really camp. Yeah, we did. It was pretty good. Whereabouts did you do road men? We just went in London. In the streets, bro. Oh, this isn't really camp. Yeah, we're all geezers now. Yeah, we're fucking road men, but we're geezers road men. That's right. Yeah.

Do you guys like London? I used to live in London. Well, yeah, we got proper kit, bro. It was a paying thing. Shit was, I'm gonna keep paying, bro. I didn't like London. You don't like London? What do you not like about London?

Dog, he's Welsh, okay? So he's probably a step up. I'm like, electricity? So we were there during the heat wave. Okay, okay. Yeah, there's like no AC. There's no AC. What are they?

Aircon. There's no aircon, bro. So it was a little brutal, but i mean okay let me let me tell you this okay i did have one experience that i fucking love all right all right i went to the ritz oh wow you went to the i've never and i did like a 12 course meal yeah you get you get pampered that was the shit to wear they gave him a blazer to wear oh yeah you can't go in those places like you know they gave us a full suit they gave gave us like that word clearly off dead bodies. But the best part was like the way that they spoke to us.

So we ordered a beef Wellington. Okay. Why are you doing that size? This is a big Wellington. You said we ordered a beef Wellington and you did this. But we ordered a beef Wellington along with the pre-plated meal. And the beef Wellington was so good. we're like, get another one. And we call our server over and we're like, hey, we'd love to place an order.

And he's like, sir, I am so sorry. I do not know if we have the resources to do this. Let me check with the chef. And we're like, oh my God. We didn't know it was such a big ordeal. And he's like, apologies, gentlemen. The chef simply cannot make another Wellington. There is no way to add another Wellington.

And we're like, no, it's, it's fine. And he's like, he's like, I am so sorry. I will speak with the chef again.

And he leaves and he comes back. He's like, I have checked again. There is no way we can do the Wellington. He's broken for the tip, man. Yeah, we're like,

it's so, it's, it's, it's okay. You know, we just, we have enough food. He comes back. He's like, 10 minutes minutes later he comes back he's like gentlemen

after much conversation he's becoming more Japanese he's going to do one more Wellington oh my god they bring out the trumpet this is simply unheard of they have the royal guard bring it out.

So when we got that second Wellington, it felt perverse. Was it good? This Wellington's not supposed to exist. You're literally like Ortelot. They made you cover up while you're eating it to mask the shame. A second Wellington is simply on her. How long were you guys in London for? Were you guys that long?

I've been there before, but this last time we were there right before TwitchCon. Oh, okay. We were in Amsterdam. We were like, let's go to London first. And Will was like, why? And I didn't really have a good reason for it. I was just like, let's just do it. It sucks because I...

Yeah, it sucks. It's tough if you don't drink. But yeah, it does suck if you don't drink. Yeah, Brighton was a lot of fun. I enjoyed that. I hate Brighton. Wait, that. I hate Brighton. Wait, really? I hate Brighton.

Why? It's the same price as London. The beach is just so overrated. Oh, I didn't go to the beach. I'm fine. Come on. I like... Brother, I'm not going to the beaches in England, okay?

I'm not doing that to myself. Good, good, good. I like pop culture a lot. I miss that a lot. Whenever I'm traveling, I just... Yeah, London's great for it. There's a type of pub culture in Japan, I suspect. Yeah, well, it's not really pub. It's izakaya.

That's what they're called. And it's kind of more of a restaurant and pub. And it's a sit-down thing. Oh, yeah. Those are like the holes in the walls that you walk in. Yeah. Sometimes they're small. Sometimes they're really, really big. And they're chains. But you're normally there all night. There is something in the UK I fell in love with. Okay, all right.

And, you know, this is a good place to announce this. Okay. I don't even know what he said. Go ahead and pull up the League of Pigs, Marsh. Oh. It's okay. It's all right. All right, okay.

There is a race league in the UK called the League of Pigs. Is there? And they race mini pigs. What? And I saw. There is a race league in the UK called the League of Pigs. Is there? And they race mini pigs. What? And I reached out to the owner of the League of Pigs. We're still in conversations, but I think myself and 100 Thieves is going to sponsor the American pig, Piggy Smalls.

And he is going to become a 100 Thieves official race animal. That's fantastic. Go add to the races. Go for it a little bit. Yes. Oh, that's beautiful. Oh, look at the obstacles. That's him on the left. That's Piggy Smalls.

The black one? There he is. That's Piggy Smalls. Please, I haven't seen this race yet. Go ahead and pause. This is like what thousands of years of culture has come to that boy is big dude oh he's the biggest one in the circuit he ain't fucking no he's the american pig of course you know what's funny about that because like isn't like aren't teacup pigs not

a real thing it's like they're just like they become massive yeah it was a marketing strategy yeah so i did fall in love with that that very affluent part of UK culture, which, I mean, is a huge... Really important to me. That's like the tops and tails to horse races, right? It's as UK as fish and chips. I never... Don't break my heart. I never saw a pig race in my life.

Son of a bitch. I'm from Wales. It's all sheep in Wales. We do sheep racing and sheep hugging and other various sheep activities. Okay, what's the weirdest Welsh culture thing other than. Oh, oh, I'm so glad you asked that. That's something I don't know.

Have you, what did you say? Can you repeat that? He understood what I said. He's just acting like, whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa, whoa, that's a slur in Welsh. I was gonna say, you just fucking, whoa, whoa. What the fuck, dude? Shit about my mom.

Wait, what was it? La palakalofsarflalafla. That sounds Arabic. That's what sounds like the most normal people, man. Is that Turkish slur? I think you said Gareth Bale. No, say it. Say it.

Just say it, you know what I'm talking about. Actually, you should pull this up. It's a fantastic image. It's called Marie Floyd. M-A-R-I space double L. And it should auto come up. And it's this amazing tradition, which I actually did M-A-R-I space double L,

double L then W-Y-D. And a terrifying image should pop up. What the fuck? What is that? So this is a great tradition. Is that the Baba Yaga? So, yeah,

so that's a, that's a horse skull. And this is quite an old tradition in Wales, which is sometimes still done, but it's not done the same way. You should sometimes, you know, pack that up.

You know what I mean? So, yeah, I was, I, I was like, picture this. You're like 10 like 10 12 years old and then you get told to to hold this thing and i didn't know what the fuck it was yeah so i'm underneath the blanket and you go around and it's kind of like folk dancing and everyone's singing and stuff and then people start kicking me

what i'm holding this thing and i don't know kicking the shit out of you not like kicking me like fully fully fully, but like, you know, but even like a little kick to the shin. Yeah. You know, up until this very moment, I was on board with Welsh independence. And right now I'm thinking, let the British handle it. Let them sort it out.

So, to this day, I still don't know what we're doing, but the original like whole backstory to this event is that people would go around with this horse skull and a blanket and they would go to people's houses and they would ask for their alcohol while doing slam poetry. And if they didn't give them their alcohol,

they would just keep asking until they would give the alcohol or they left. And then you'd go on to the next. Like death jam? Yeah, it would be like poetry or singing left. And it's just like, and then you go on to the next. Like death jam? Yeah, it would be like poetry or like singing. I can't remember the exact thing, but it was like, yeah. Police. Yeah, it's a really weird, you know,

and then you just take alcohol. I don't think that's what there's new Islam poetry with. I feel like it was sheep rhymes. Yeah, there's a lot of, yeah, we'll be about sheep. There's a lot of, I love my sheep and that's how I earn my keep. That sort of thing. He loved it, dude.

That's great. That's great. Yeah, that was one of my dad's verses actually. Yeah, you would just do this. I mean like poetry and singing was a whole thing. I mean, I went to school and did all my learning in like Welsh. So I was doing... That's insane. Yeah, I went to school and did all my learning in like Welsh. So I was doing-

That's insane. Yeah, I did all- Spit some Welsh to us, King. What do you wanna- So what I was trying to say earlier, which apologies to all the four Welsh viewers. Yeah, I bet you have like one, maybe one. No, no, I have some.

I have one of my like Discord regulators is like Welsh and he's like a welsh independence oh wow okay well he's like really into it um but i have some welsh viewers uh i i was trying to say the the longest and weirdest name will i feel like every single podcast i have to do this it's uh that's it that's a that's a place. A real town name. It's about an hour from where I grew up. I'm sorry, one more time.

Billy Ray Brans, can you go? Yeah, I can't spell that one for you. No, no, no, just say like weirdest town name Welsh. It'll come up, it'll come up. Do you speak Welsh? Yeah, yeah, so I was just saying like up until like age 18, I did all of my school and exams in Welsh. Yeah, that's the name.

That's the name. Pull it up, pull it up, pull it up. Where does this language come from? I think it's older than English. Oh, that's not even it. Yeah, it's longer. Yeah, that's not even it. What's that one?

That's the full name. That's what I said. Yeah. Because remember, he said in the end, the goch. It ends with gooch? Goch, yeah. Goch. Go in the end the go-go-go. It ends with gooch? Go-go-goch. Yeah. Go-go-goch. Yeah, gooch is the word.

No, that's gooch. It could be gooch, yeah. Yeah. It's very, it's very, there's nothing there. How do you pronounce it? Go-go-goch. Go-go-goch. So C-H is-

Go-go-goch. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I mean, it's an okay town. It's small. There's a climbing gym there. It's just like, why? What happened? It was like It's small. There's a climbing gym there. It's just like, why? What happened?

Like, be honest. That was a publicity stunt. What are the Welsh hiding? Just be honest. Like, why did they choose this as a language? What's going on? It was there before English. It was the original Celtic language. That's what people are saying.

But what happened, really? What is it? Then, you know, English got fucked. And then we got fucked because they got fucked. That's what people are saying. What happened really? What is it? Then, you know, English got fucked and then we got fucked because they got fucked. Right. Yeah. That's what happened.

I don't know if I can speak that language. It's, it's, it's not too hard. It's not too hard. Shut up. It's phonetic. So every letter is spelt the way you say it,

which is nice. Oh, that makes it easier. A lot easier to learn it when you're a kid. You're like, great, this is less frustrating than when I was learning English. I was like, fuck this language.

Why does night have a K in it? I'm gonna lose my mind. That is very, look at that. That's the Welsh independence burning inside of you, my friend. Wait, do you think Welsh should be independent as someone who's not from Wales? I don't give a shit.

We would die. What is there? Like there's nothing, right? Just sheep? You know, like island. Got any natural resources? Yeah, we did coal way, way back and then that's kind of gone. Good clean coal.

Yeah. And yeah, great coal, right? I heard that's on the up. Yeah, I mean, we don't really have much compared to like, say, Scotland. Yeah, I was about to say, Scotland, I get it. They've done really well at kind of building their own stuff. But Wales is kind of like, hey, we're attached to England.

We're part of it. No, it's just like in England, even inside of like London, you know, two streets down, there's like a very distinct accent and they're warring with one another, right? Oh, yeah. And then you have Wales on the side, like just like, hey, we're here and we have a very different language than everybody else like so different yeah i i don't know i think wales is more chill than england we're kind of happier i feel uh everything's just vibes everything's about you know just you know

because a lot of people where i grew up were like farmers and stuff so it was all very cozy and it was all about pubs and just drinking and and everyone knew each other and then you move from there to london yeah uh you move from the town like an hour away from that to london big city boy and then you move to the most supercharged like metropolitan area on the planet it's kind of a weird trajectory huh yeah it's kind of strange i i always from like i don't know if you guys feel the same um ever since i was like five six i was like i i want to just get out of this place i just i grew up in i want to explore i grew up in cities i grew up in istanbul and ankara so those are big cities in turkey especially istanbul so i was always a city boy uh i but i did feel that way about New Jersey. New Jersey is like the whales of

One could say like Maine I feel is like Yeah, I I but like I feel like when you're in that kind of area drives you Or you either just want to stay in that small town forever Well, you get so driven to kind of push yourself and really try and explore I mean, I don't know what the fuck I was doing there. I didn't I have an engineering degree So I don't know like what the fuck I was doing though. I didn't, I have an engineering degree. So I don't know like what the fuck. I'm not using that.

Do this inside. Do the cameras. Hey! Feels so good. It's great to see you again. I'm right here. Damn, what an outfit, dude. What dripped out.

Holy shit. That's what it is. That's what it is. So, yeah, like I said, Ludwig was not supposed to be here, but he heard that Connor was going to come on, and he was like, can I please be on the podcast, dude? I'm going to drive over from my house. Can you guys actually leave? Kind of need some one-on-one time.

It's been like three months. I can't get Ludwig to hang out with me no matter how hard I try. That's true. I second that. You look like Indiana Jones. That is an insult. I would that. You look like Indiana Jones. That is an insult. I would like to go back to the compliments.

You keep going with the insults. You know why I don't come here is because every time I come here you just call me gay for an hour and a half. Yeah. That's what happens every time. And then I leave all sad.

Also, being gay is not an insult. So I don't know why you took it the wrong way. Maybe we should cancel you next. How about that? Okay. Long time coming. My experience regarding Ludwig. Yeah, I am bad at hanging out.

It's because you guys are night animals. I am. Yes. Are you guys? What? I'm not a night animal. Well, Will, more so. There are people who like to hang out by going to a club or going out.

That is so untrue. I'm suing you for slander. No, he would do rock climbing, motherfucker. That's true. Yeah, what the fuck? Are we climbing at night? I'll climb with you. Yeah, okay.

I don't know how you would lift your, no offense, fat ass up a wall. Okay, fat ass up a wall. Okay, fat ass? What are you? You're a whole lot of men. I feel like the exchange student that like walked in and I've like missed like three years of banter in class. I'm just like-

No, no, don't worry. This is just ongoing. This is an ongoing feud. It's fine. We're beefing for life. Yeah. But- Did you see the news on the internet

that no one likes him? I just, I don't know- I i wrote it i don't know why yeah dude actually he was a part of it too we had a conversation we had a conversation no no no we had a conversation on his stream he's like i'm live right now i'm like trying to get him to come on the podcast you know we're gonna have connor on he said yes um and he goes oh yeah like what are you doing tomorrow and then he hangs up on me okay that got clipped to lsf and it had like 90 comments immediately in like one second they were like oh ludwig hates his son i'm like what is going on right now i wonder how you knew i was in la i feel like i didn't mention it i know should i announce it every should i announce it every time in la i'm like yeah yes streamers come on yeah

yes 100 you're a hot commodity. And hot in general. Tweet the dog has landed. Connor Dog Virginia, baby. You told him your nickname for him? Yeah. Yeah, I noticed. I was like, who told him this? Connor Dog Virginia?

That's what he decided for me. VA's voice actor. I like Virginia. I like Virginia. Can you do a voice acting for us right now? I'm going to give you a scenario. I'm a casting director. I'm going to give you a casting director.

I'm, fuck. First get naked. Hi, Connor. It's really nice to have you. Today you're going to be reading for the role of a grizzled war veteran. All right. And he is about to have his favorite tofu curd at a restaurant.

Tofu curd? Yes, tofu curd dish. We need excitement, but he's a grizzled war veteran. I'm excited. Can I also do the voice of the authentic Vietnamese chef at the restaurant? He's really... He is trying to get candy.

Come on, go ahead. not do that Come on go ahead You're way too wide To be doing that I guess I'll pass This time I was gonna do like Nani Dude I think I've done

Some grizzled dudes Okay let's hear it Oh fuck Okay Oh He's doing the VA No no I do the

Oh fuck No he's just saying Welsh things right now He's really You're embarrassing. Fuck. I used to do like Gillette commercials. Okay.

And that was grizzled and shit. Yeah. That was like, the new Gillette razor. Like that. Oh. What is this? What are you doing?

It's like, it's like it, so it allows me to like get deeper and control it, but it's bad. Every voice acting coach tell you not to do this. Like this? It's not making me deeper. Because it's bad long-term.

I really want that tofu that's on the menu. That would be pretty fucking good. Oh my God. Yeah. All right, second scenario. That was great. Hey, second scenario. One more, one more, one more.

That's our first of 10 scenarios. You go? Yes, one more and then we're done. One more? Yes. School boy. Oh my God. Okay.

And you're swearing to get revenge on somebody who's just killed your entire village. We're trying to see your rage. That's why he hit you with a grizzle. No, no, no. Seven years old. Here's what I do. Seven years old.

I sound 50. You're seven years old, but you also look like you're 35. Yes, you have muscles. And everyone defends you by saying you're a 3,000-year-old dragon. Yes. 35. Yes, you have muscles. And everyone defends you by saying you're a 3000 year old dragon. Yes. It's an isekai.

What's my motivation? So it's your whole village has just been wiped out. It's an isekai, you're a 35 year old unemployed man and a seven year old's body who's in a samurai village whose entire village got wiped out. This is classic anime. What possible voice could I give to this character? I thought this was just kind of watch anime.

Yeah. What the fuck? Trash podcast is canceled. What the fuck is this character? He also has Jojo's levels of abs. Yeah. But they sneakily keep referencing that you're seven years old, even though you do not look seven years old at all.

And you are- Do I sound seven years old? Yes, very much so. How do I, why would I say, how do I sound? Sir, we don't have all day. This is like the highest I can go is like, oh, hi, my father, my aunts are in the way of my speech. We like the direction you went in.

The job is yours. Thank you so much. So like whenever I've done voice acting, right? I very quickly learned, cause I did some, I know I'm not doing it. I've done a lot of like accent stuff. I did like American accents for some things. Can you do some?

No. He just said, no, I'm not doing it. Absolutely not. You were gonna ask me and I hate doing it. Well, I'll do, I'll do it. But then I always wonder, why are they hiring me when they can just hire an American? Yeah.

But yeah, I don't know. Because the fucking British are taking our jobs, dude. Taking our jobs. They're taking our jobs. I always do either deep fucking grizzly dudes or pompous British assholes, which is my favorite to do. I mean, it's so fun. I have gotten,

I did a voice acting. I actually, I don't know if I'm allowed to leak this because like there's NDAs and stuff. Okay. I don't think I signed it. It's just an audition, but I don't know. It was for like a Disney plus Marvel thing.

And I'm so bad at voice acting as well as just like acting in general. Yeah. But you know, I tried my best. I almost want to like show you. You have a clips. I have a voice memo. You want me to critique it?

A hundred percent. Show it. I would love to hear it. I mean, I don't know if, but like, this is what I'm saying. I don't know if this is like allowed to be leaked.

I mean, normally, normally the audition sheet will say if it's like NDA, they'll be like, if you, by opening this, it's NDA. I think,

yeah, it gives, it gives away. Nevermind. One time Disney or Marvel has been strict on this. Like just show it. Yeah. Yeah. opening this it's and i i think yeah it gives it gives away never mind one time disney or marvel has been strict on this like just show it yeah yeah this is like famously non-litigious uh corporations maybe yeah i don't care yeah no let's not was it fun did you like it no oh i love voice acting it's so fun no i i like voice acting but i just don't think i have like i just can't act i mean it's hard i want tips like i you're the you're connor dog voice acting, but I just don't think I have, like, I just can't act. I mean, it's hard.

I want tips. Like you're the, you're Connor dog voice acting. I still have a long way to go. I feel like there's so many better, especially now. What happened? You just like put VA on the, you slapped it on the back of your name and you were like, all right, this is it.

I was garbage and I had it in my name, but I was doing a lot of it, but I was terrible. I kind of just lied my way through it until I actually got a lot of training and a lot of jobs. And I was like, okay, now I'm not lying anymore. But for the first like five years, I was like, oh my God, someone's gonna tell me I'm not a real VA. And it's-

You're describing like how I think we all became- Yeah, yeah, you kind of have to- Famous people. Say you are something and then hope that everyone around you starts believing it, right? Yeah, I was so bad. I was so bad. Like my girlfriend at the time, you remember this?

When I first started on camera, I was so fucking nervous. I could not, I was so incredibly bad. Nothing has changed. Okay. Oh, he's here. Nothing has changed.

I'm still dog shit. Um, but I was so bad that my girlfriend literally was like, look, I'm trying to make it in Hollywood. She was a model at the time. She wanted to become an actress. And one of us has to you know

pay the bills like you can't be doing this on camera shit like literally she told me what the straight up and my roommate at the time was like nah dog you gotta keep going you gotta keep going no matter what i'm here what is that a mirror no marley oh it's you know like when people ask you if you have experience i would just always be like yeah of course yeah that's the key someone asked me they're going into an interview yesterday in chat and i was like just lie you have experience. I would just always be like, yeah, of course. I've got so much. Someone asked me, they're going into an interview yesterday in chat, and I was like, just lie. You have to lie. Just lie.

That's what I say all the time. People think it's mean of me to say. Yeah, people say that's so wrong. It's like, you're not gonna get these jobs. Like if you don't, like especially like with a lot of the, you know, really competitive acting stuff, you have to be like, yeah, no, this is easy.

I can do that. Yeah, of course I can do that accent. Yeah, of course. And then you get into the audition. People are really smart at learning the specific job that you will get and the knowledge that you have before isn't as valuable as like the six weeks when you first start and you have to figure out

and navigate it. I mean, I did some horrible voiceover work. I know that he'd love this. I did like an Age of Empires II. Ooh, I love that game, what? I entered a- The remastered? Yeah, the remastered. They had- Ooh, I love that game. What? I entered- The remastered? Yeah, the remastered.

They had a DLC, like an African DLC. Yeah. Oh, that's a great start. You can see where this is going. So I entered this competition. When I, bear in mind, I was like 16 and I should not have entered this competition. I was like not allowed to.

It was like, we're looking for an Ethiopian character. Stop. I mean, what screams Ethiopian character more than kind of a Welsh man? I was like, yeah, my people have been there, right?

I've got that joke. Okay, you can leave it in. Can we get a taste of that voice? No, it was literally Ugandan Knuckles. So I did this Ugandan Knuckles voice, right?

This is before Ugandan Knuckles, right? But this was the voice. I literally went on YouTube. I went, no, it was just Ugandan. Yeah, so I Googled. Why are you running? Yeah, it was like, I went in, I was like,

what is this accent? They were like, he nailed it. Yeah. So I could find one video, one video on YouTube of someone doing this accent. I don't know if it was like legit or not. So I just copied it. I read the lines, nothing, nothing happens, right?

Two years later, I get an email from Age of Empires being like, oh, you're in the game by the way. And I was like, they didn't pay me or anything. They just said, cause it was competition and they were like, here's the, this is what pissed me off the most. They gave me a code for just the DLC. I couldn't even play the game.

That is bananas. So I was just in the game. Have you found it? Yeah, one of my friends found it. I have the clip unlisted on my channel, so I can always just share it to people. But it's obviously like now I'd be like canceled for doing this.

But like back then this wasn't even like a conversation yet. Because you know, this is back when, you know, like League of Legends, like Lucien was played by Patrick Sites, he's a white guy and stuff like that. it was still like happening i don't think it's like tilapu that people were like oh yeah it really kicked off like i don't think people realize how recent this was yeah yeah this is really like a new thing yeah um so yeah i did that back when the good old days you could just do whatever you wanted am i right boys come on

this is purely i'm still working on my vietnamese yeah To this day, I'm the go-to Ethiopian. I'm kidding, no. Age of Empires is like, we need an Ethiopian. Okay, I don't know. Where's Connor? I feel like someone told me that they removed it recently. Oh. So I feel like it might be gone now.

Could we look it up? Maybe. It might be gone. I don't know. Would you know what character it is? That's a disservice. I'm a Nigerian Archer 3 or something. Oh, you're not even Ethiopian. Something. I don't know. I can't remember which one it was. That's a disservice. I'm a Nigerian Archer 3 or something. Oh, you're not even Ethiopian.

Something. I don't know. Billy, look that up. No, you can show it. I've showed it. I tell the story a bunch because I think it's pretty funny. Nigerian Archer 3.

That's crazy. Like you turn up and it's me being like, what are you doing here? I mean, that's not bad. Like little kids are playing and they're like, that's so authentic.

Wow, this guy sounds a lot like Nigerian Archer 3. I like how they source it from the country. Yeah. So nice of them to do that. But it was on, like, a shitty USB mic as well. It was so bad. I should not have, it should never have happened.

I mean, I could just send someone the link if you want it. I can dig it up. Twitter DM it to me, and then you can pull it up from my Twitter. I can dig this up. Do a little digging. Keep talking, though. It'll take me a minute to want it. I can dig it up. Twitter DM it to me and then you can pull it up for my Twitter. I can dig this up. Do a little digging. Keep talking though. It'll take me a minute to find it.

Ludwig, what do you have to say for yourself that you're an hour late to the podcast? You know, I look like this and that's why I'm allowed to be an hour late.

It takes time. It takes time to show up. Where did you get those pants from? Aiden gave them to me. Aiden Ross? I'll show off the pants for the pod. That's impressive. Oh, you're Aiden. I gottaiden gave them to me. Aiden Ross? I'll show off the pants for the pod. That's impressive. Oh, not.

You're Aiden. I got to go back really far back. You have a lot of very stylish people who dress you. Yes. It's funny because. You guys have people who dress you? In the sense that, like, they buy me clothes. Oh, okay, okay.

They don't go, uppies, uppies now. No, they do that as well. Of course. Cutie helps me a little bit. No, the pants are cool. As always, you've done the thing where you like, like you have two things that just do not go with one another. No, this goes.

You're right. This goes. The fanny pack is not something that I think goes. This is for practicality. I wear the fanny pack everywhere I go. I totally get the fanny thing. I do it as well. I like the fanny pack.

Yeah. It's just, it has everything. I don't have this. I don't know how to pay bills. anything i i do it as well but i like i like the fanny pack yeah it's just it has everything i don't have this i don't have i don't know how to pay bills i understand the the tactical necessity for the fanny pack i just think that this would have worked better with like a t-shirt like just casual because it's already drawing a lot of attention to your fat ass and your legs oh that's on can i say something and i want to be super brutally honest. Yeah. I don't think you have a good fashion sense. Now this is the pod.

Gloves are off. Go on. I don't. I think that you wear shorts way too much. I think shorts always look tacky. I mean, I'm in my house. No. You wear shorts. I'm being attacked in my own house right now.

You wear shorts out. Defend me. You're my best friend for 12 years. This is content. I have old photos of you where you look. Defend me. You're my best friend for 12 years. This is content. I have old photos of you where you look. Content over everything. I also think the way

you accessorize is usually less thought out than it could be. I've made you with the accessories. This is my girlfriend. How dare you? You literally,

half of your accessories you stole from me. Jesus Christ. I'm not saying you have bad accessories. Typical of your people, by the way. I'm just saying the way that you stack them. Sacking a men-a-man's jewelry.

Who do you think my people are? And then incoming... Oh, yeah, yeah. The French. Oh, yeah, no, that's it. You have ransacked me. No. As is customary.

Oh, no. He's doing it. He's doing it. He's breathing. Oh, we did that. Well, that's it. You wear shorts too much, and I think you stack your accessories in a way

that doesn't add a cohesivity. Everything I'm wearing right now works off of one another. It's like a green aesthetic. Listen, I respect Hasan's style because Hasan's style in his dress is much like his style of broadcasting. He's a provocateur. And sometimes I think he wears things to just

piss people off. So he's not trying to look good. But he does that shit too and then people are like, oh that's so cute. Because they're like, no because when you dress like that they're like, oh that's a child. People treat your outfits like baby's first time baby's first time

putting clothes together first of all motherfucker i'll have you know i just came back from youtube creator summit at the shoes do you have a photo of the shoes i i'll march can you look up um on amazon fish flops oh brother brother You wore fish flops? Brother, I'm going to let you know these are fucking trigger hot. No, I know what fish flops look like. Pull them up, pull them up. Trigger warning. I wore these to a YouTube creator summit.

The YouTube creator summit is 100 of the biggest YouTubers. I'm talking like Mark Rober. Hold on. Yeah. I've never seen the lobster ones. The lobster ones, I've never seen until now.

That's kind of awesome. Okay, that looks fire. No, the lobster flops are dope, I think. I wore the fish flops in every, and I'm not kidding, 50 people came up to me and started conversations because of them. And I'm talking YouTube execs, high-level execs. Like, Susan Wojcicki's like, those are fire. Actually, we're giving you.

Can we give you? Yes. She was like, those are fire. You're clearly creative and brilliant. We're giving you the entire shorts budget. That was pretty much it, bar for bar. I got the keys. Okay, well, give us a contract now.

Well, hey, your 50-50 is looking good. Oh, fuck you. You like this guy? I did. Listen, my man came in to just fuck us up today. Just a little bit of fucking around. I sent the clip did. I did. Listen, my man came in to just fuck us up today. Just a little bit of fucking around.

I sent the clip by the way. Oh yeah, let's see the clip. I talked about, hold on, we'll see the Nigerian archery. Oh my God. It's in your DMs, yeah. This is, it's really short. It's, I wish I could redo it.

You know, it's modern day. I'm ready. I'm ready. Turn it up. So embarrassing. Do not worry. You are not alone on your journey. What?

Put it up more. Put it up more. I need to hear it. Oh, it's so bad. Volume boost. Bear in mind. In Chris's game, there is a... I was like 17.

Give me a break. There is a... Yeah, there it is. The volume boost. You keep adding to the number, by the way. You were 16 at the start. He's like, this was last month. It was my little brother. There it is the volume boost you keep adding to the number by the way you were 60 at the start. Yeah He's like this was last it was my little brother

No, this is way worse than I thought it was gonna be so bad Not's so bad. I think it sounds not Nigerian or Ethiopian at all. It doesn't even sound, yeah, it doesn't sound like that at all. I could do it much better now. But I'm not, not that I'd be allowed to. Hosh.0 web redemption. I gotta redeem it. We have a destination page of Empires 2, come out. The line is, don't worry, you are not alone.

Again, like, there was no, like, i just did this in my room two years later i found out they just put it in the game that is crazy i didn't get i didn't get to redo it or anything that's exploitative i think no definitely that's why all those competitions are like that though they don't they don't you don't really see those competitions anymore though like they used to do that a lot right they'd be like hey do your art it'll be in the game and then everyone's like hey can you just pay people to do work it's just taking away work from voice actors who are meant to get paid for their work yeah yeah yeah uh and giving to 17 year olds who like doing like your access well yeah i mean i don't know what the whole

thought behind that was i maybe i was the only person who submitted it i don't know like speaking of nigeria okay i saw a website i found a website that shows you the top YouTube streams by viewership. And I know Twitch streamers who's going to be the top very easily. Like everybody knows that. But it's hard to find on YouTube. Me. It's obviously not you because you don't stream on YouTube. Dumb answer.

No, I'm saying on Twitch. Oh, also minus five points. Cringe. And the person who was at the top of all of YouTube last night with 88,000 viewers was a Nigerian pastor named Jerry. Oh, that's sick. Who for an hour and 20 minutes was doing like the classic like full energy like, the God of Spirit is in you.

And then there's like two like yes men behind him going like, hey, man. And they did that for an hour and 20 minutes straight with 80,000 viewers. Can we get Jerry on the pod? You need jerry on the pod why do we have yeah what a fucking l this is i think i want to start a cult i think you should start a cult and i'm hoping you guys can be my boys the plan is simple we're starting a cult we're worshiping god today yeah and he made a million dollars in the past like six months from Super Chats. That's wild. Which is a crazy amount

because it's USD. Well, you got to get it all the way to God. So, yeah. He's really close right now. Like, he's almost there. Televangelist, man. God damn.

I feel the Holy Spirit. I bet he has no drama. If you're listening to this pod right now, what you need to do is you need to pick up your credit card. You need to dial in to the fear and pay town and you need to give

us some money. Hallelujah! Because the fear and pod, we need a private jet. Because we're coming to your neck of the woods. We're coming to you in Tulsa, Alabama. We're coming to you in Daytona, Florida. And we're bringing the power of God with us. Now I'm going to lay hands on this boy and I'm going to emancipate the demons.

Are you ready, son? Yes. I'm going to lay hands on you. Cow demons. Cow demons. Cow demons. Cow demons. Red Super Chats.

Patreon.com slash fear end. That was amazing. The name sucks, by the way. Can I say that on the pod now? Oh, my God. You've said it so many fucking times. What do you think about the name? Oh, God.

You both suck. Well, okay. It's better than The Yard. Let's go! Let's fucking go! Yeah! Get fucked! Get fucked!

Smoke with that lead pack! Oh, get fucked! I don't like it because of the difference in syntax from and written out in the sign. I'm kidding. I really like the odd format. Oh, dude. Come on, bro. He said format, not name.

Yeah. The name is pretty good. The name is so... It's not trash text, right? There's another podcast called Backyard. I think with Joe Santiago. What are you talking about? Joe Santiago.

The more popular podcast. There's actually like a very popular podcast called The Backyard, I think. Never heard of him. Dude,

there's so many podcasts popping up now. Yes. Loads more. I felt like there was more when, like two years ago and now it feels like

there's even more now. It's because there's a lot of money in it and everybody's manager and agent is like, make a fucking podcast. Yeah. No,

podcasts are like the new era uh book deal because like when you were you know when you were like in hollywood or whatever in any capacity they were always like all right you got to do a book deal you got to do we don't do it for the money though yeah for the love of the game he found out that everybody hates him and this is his way to keep me close you have to oh god i hate this i like that i do not i do not like this narrative because like yeah why did you guys start a podcast then because everybody hates him and he wanted that's the reason because people hate me yeah why did you start a podcast i wanted to make my friends rich okay that's that's dope that's what that's why i started it as well kind

of but also at the same time he already like was popping on the- Dude, the trajectory of the yard, the only thing I noticed is that your friends dress way better. Yo, Falco shows up dripped. Nick and Aiden, the moment they hit the first Patreon check, we're like, where's the closest Balenciaga to me? Show up with shoes

that the bottoms of them look like gym mats. You know what I mean? It's just a fucking mess. And then it'll be like, I have no money. I'm like, bro, you bought a new car and you have a fresh new fit every fucking week. know what I mean? It's just a fucking mess. And then it'll be like, I have no money. I'm like, bro, you bought a new car and you have like a fresh new fit every fucking week. What do you mean?

Yeah. And then Slime spends none of it except for his Evangelion computer. I spend all of it on food. That was fire though. That was a worthwhile. Oh, you didn't see that? That's a worthwhile purchase.

Pull that up for us, man. I said Evangelion. I should have said Evangelion. You don't spend it all on food, by the way. I spend a lot of it on food. I should have said Evangelion. You don't spend it all on food, by the way. I spend a lot of it on food. What do you mean? I don't spend that much. Don't you have like the fancy house in Japan

compared to other people? No, no, I don't. I mean, it's expensive, like for what it is. They call you the rich one. Why? Who calls me the rich one? Joey and Garnt. Do they?

Oh, my daddy. Where did he buy this? So it's like part of the whole set of Evangelion computer parts through. Oh yeah, they had a collaboration, right? I think Game of... EBGA, was it? ROG, right?

Yeah, one of the fucking games. Rise of Gamers. How much did he spend on that? It's probably 5K, to be honest. That's fucking, that's worth though. That's not that bad. I mean, that's crazy. Mine was 5K and it doesn't look good.

Yeah. And it crashes. Yeah. I saw that Artesan. Mine was made by Linus. What? Yeah, Linus made mine. It crashes all the time.

Yeah, it crashes sometimes. But I think it's because we have like, I have an unimaginable amount of tech wired into this fucking machine. Yeah, I think I've put too much shit into my stream. Yeah, like there's've put too much shit into my stream. Yeah, like there's like six super high quality cameras that are on at all times.

I have an artesian one. Oh, that's gotta be worth a lot. Not now, right? No, the value of hikes because they're gone. And there's a story behind it, right? You can never get an artesian build. No. It's like Star Forge in six months.

Oh, shit. God damn! months. Yeah. Oh, shit. God damn! Oh, my God. Oh, my Lord. I talked to Linus, actually, at the YouTuber Summit. Yeah, I met Linus. He's one of the YouTubers I wish I could talk to, just be friends with.

He's such a sweet man. Yeah, he's great. He's a wonderful person. His screwdriver looks sick. He also makes a shit ton of money off those screwdrivers. He makes a lot of money. He put a lot of work into it. I was going around, though, to everybody at the YouTuber Summit

because there was a bunch of big guys, and my icebreaker was asking them what their vice is. Yeah. You know, because I feel like that cuts back, cuts past all the BS, not advice, vice, cuts past all the BS, and a lot of them, including Linus, would answer, they'd think about it advice, advice, uh, cuts past all the BS. And, uh, in a lot of them, including Linus would answer, they think about it deeply. They go ambition. And I was like, what? Tell me

you're doing mushrooms on the side. That's what I want to know. None of those would be like crack. Like that's not going to happen. You'd be surprised. Yeah. That'd be such a bold answer. If someone's like, yeahall mainlining dude i'm black tar heroin yeah so have you heard of crack cocaine smoke crack with me that's cool youtube summit you guys were what was it fun was it fucking were you guys flexing were you just like haha remember when we were on twitch and it sucked dude you know what actually what i discovered and it it was mind-blowing because i talked to all these huge YouTubers, much bigger than me. And the same takeaway that I had when I met with all the streamers.

That are much bigger than you. What's up? God damn. Say it with your chest. I said, that's not that hard to find YouTubers much bigger than you. There you go. There you go. Anyway, I talked to them that weren't hard to find.

And then after I met with all the streamers and we all came to the same conclusion, streamers make way, way more money than huge YouTubers. For sure. And it's not close. It's not close. No, but like, that's true, but not at the tippy top. Like, if you are one of the top, top content creators on Twitch, you're still making less money than the top content creators on YouTube.

But the top content creators on YouTube also have like- If you're one of the top distributors of porta potties, you make more money. I will say that for YouTube, it was way, I mean, so I only started streaming, what, like two years ago? Right. So I was only YouTube before that.

And YouTube is way more manageable. Your life, you can have a life. Oh, we know life our shit. And the moment I started streaming a lot, it was like, all right, now suddenly I'm not hanging out with people as much, and it's a lot more work, and I'm stressed out a lot. But I guess you get the immediate feedback, right?

Yeah, yeah, I think it gives up a lot of time, but like, no offense, even Leslie's dumb ass was making more than like like like a lot of like the 10 million subscribed to people like like like a matt stoney when i realized i realized what you're saying when um you know i was like talking to some of my musician friends and like your expectation is like they have like a platinum hit like you're expecting they have a nice car so you're like oh dude you're making like 10 million a year, right? And he's like, no, they're like, they straight up are. Like, if you Google any artist, any musician that's like popping right now,

they're probably making less than like some of the top content creators that live stream. Which is a wild thing to consider. But also, we are in the garbage pail. Like, we literally are. We swim in a sea of garbage as this past week of events have shown it's like you know it's ruthless it's gruesome and then and then twitch like y'all are making too much money we're gonna cut your fucking salaries which is i have a theory about that all right let's hear it i have a theory why they cut to the 50 50 and it has nothing to do with them

making that money i mean that's mean, that's an added bonus, but the reason that they cut the split is because they are trying to further incentivize everyone to run ads. Oh yeah. No, that is the right. No, that is the call. That is what it is. There's no way that's the reason. That's the reason. I think the reason is they just need to turn profit. No, I'm telling you right now, they are putting a, here's the thing. The profit faucet of 100K plus a year from switching over from a 70-30 to a 50-50 split is marginal in comparison to how much more money you're going to make when you're forcing everyone to do 50-50 ad rev splits when they're all running ads to make more money, to make up for the lost revenue.

Twitch has this one thing, right? Our viewer base sucks. Our DAU sucks. Like there's so many things that they don't have. Dad has this one thing, right? Our viewer base sucks. Our DAU sucks. Like, there are so many things that they don't have. Dad, what's DAU mean? Daily active users. Oh, okay.

In comparison to YouTube, we need that. We are a Lilliputian compared to YouTube's Lilliputian. You are an English major. They're the small people from Gulliver's Travels. Okay, okay.

They're like little thimble people. Yeah, we knew that. We knew that. Okay, so like like all those numbers are very small what twitch has in spades though is watch time we watch time and also zealot fans right so so twitch was like oh my gosh we have zealot fans with an incredible watch time there's an amazing opportunity for advertising here right but when they first brought advertising to be a mainstay one ran ads to the point that we have major creators talking about resigning from the platform if they're even forced to run as much as a minute of ads the monetization was too good on a membership platform and and membership in and of itself is not profitable enough for Twitch to be sustainable,

especially if Amazon is viewing Twitch as another money-making machine. Right. Because I truly do believe that AWS hosting is probably cheaper for Twitch, obviously, because it's internal. But I genuinely, legitimately believe that Amazon still looks at that number as like, what would we be making if we were selling it to them as a commercial partner? And even at a discounted rate, it's still incredibly expensive. So Twitch came with the carrot and the stick, right? The carrot was, look at these ad incentives.

They're amazing. And the stick was, and we're taking away your fucking subs. The only reason I don't buy that is because I think the amount of people that it affects because the 70-30 split still goes up to 100k is about like 70 streamers total. So unless they only care about incentivizing 70 streamers. 70 streamers. No, they are.

It's like about 70 streamers I think who are making more than 100k. It's 100k a month, right? No, 100k a year, bro. Okay, it's more than 70 streamers then. No, it's 100K a year. It's a lot of streamers. And those streamers that you talk about, the over 100K streamers,

are like, what, 90% of the viewership on the platform? Yes, but I still think you are meant to create a culture that will affect the streamers who will be at the top five years from now. And if that is their plan, only affects the streamers who are at the top right now who will be irrelevant in five years. I just don't want to run ahead. Yeah, that's fair. Because, you know, if there is their plan, only affects the streamers who are at the top right now who will be irrelevant in five years. I just don't want to run ahead.

Yeah, that's fair. Because, you know, if there was an ad break, it would make sense. But like, it's so jarring. It cuts the content. It's so jarring. I once, when I was like brand new to Twitch and, you know, started doing really well,

and, you know, Twitch reps would like talk to me, you know, I remember we had this conversation where they were like, yeah, you should run this automated ad thing. It's like, it's great. People love it because the pre-rolls go. And I was like, oh, okay, yeah, sure. Having no pre-rolls sounds good.

I put it on for like one stream. Holy shit, this chat went berserk. I lost it. Everyone tells you, three, one of three. I'm gonna kill myself. Why is there an ad every 10 minutes? This is fucked up. And I was like, I should-

Two minutes, I'm gonna commit genocide. Yeah, I was like, I should- Two minutes? I'm going to commit genocide. Yeah, I was like, okay, all right, shit. I didn't realize it was this. I just, the way it was sold to me was that it would help viewership. That's why I ran the, I still to this day run my ads manually. That's why I got like- Yeah, me too, me too. The shitty contract that he laughed at openly when he first read it.

I mean, that was shitty because you had bad negotiations. No, that was also shitty because I wanted the lowest ad density on the platform. Also, he were there. Gee whiz. No, I wanted the lowest ad density and they were not willing to give it to me unless it was like incredibly shitty ad rev split.

Here's what Twitch needs to figure out, right? I have a dream where I'm doing my contract. I love that. I love the dream. I'm doing my content, right? Oh, and what's this? An overlay of Terry Crews walks out into the bottom left corner of my screen while I'm still streaming.

Picture in picture. Doesn't cut the content, and he flexes his tits, and then he holds up a deodorant, and he goes, Oh, spice! Ha! And it just keeps rolling. Ads that do not cut the content but exist within the frame.

The problem then arises, like let's say you're streaming and you're really against certain things, right? And it's like your face is there and then a crypto ad pops up. And your face is under the- You should be able to select your ads. A lot of my ads revolve around the Marine Corps.

Right, stuff like that. I'm like, the American military is genocidal, and then it's like, join the Marines. It's really different when it comes to that. Have you ever wanted to fight a dragon and jump out of a plane? You can message a partner program and remove certain advertisers. However, I think the main thing they need to change, I don't know this.

The thing that would incentivize ads the most is having a better split because right now i think you guys are receiving a flat cpm uh as opposed to youtube who has 55 of every ad go to the creator and then 45 go to youtube except for shorts which is the flip side of that and then for twitch they're very quiet about it they're very secret about it and everyone's is kind of different but it's like never a flat percentage across the board which would just like you'd make so much money mine breaks down to overall mine breaks down to like 25 me 75 twitch that's how bad it is that's bad this that is unacceptably bad that is exploitative as fuck my entire time doing twitch i never looked at it as like how do i make the twitch thing make a lot of money? Because the YouTube is where all the money was.

Like if I made like, if I had like eight videos a month going up, that's like- That's why you're broke, Connor. Six sponsors you can put on will make way more money than I'll ever make from like subs or something. Connor, and that brings us to your unreleased nudes
