Starting point is 00:00:00 You talk about that stuff? You don't talk about that stuff, huh? Well, no, everything I do is for kids. Like, I love being brand friendly and I love... Oh, yes. Yeah, like, for me, like going out there and like giving back was dope. Oh, in Costa Rica, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is lit. Not the normal smell in here. This is it.
Starting point is 00:00:13 Wait, you actually use this outlet? Yeah, that's what I was using it? Yeah, that's usually. Yeah, you could. Man, it smells great. Would you mind if I had my phone plugged up during an episode? That'd be kind of cool. I should take out of charge every way through and plug it in.
Starting point is 00:00:25 And like, wait, I didn't know this was an outlet. It is a reusable outlet. Has anyone ever used it on an episode before? No. I got to do it first. I mean you could. And then you should take my charger out and throw it. I'll get it later.
Starting point is 00:00:35 Do you like, what the fuck? You could use that. It was for a TV before. I should do it. You have a charger? No. When we were at the house, yeah, we were at the house,
Starting point is 00:00:46 I'll just say like the prospects that came, like... Yo, what are you talking about? I'm out, bro. What are you talking about? I'm out, bro. Okay. But so, so you... I mean, you just got back from a trip.
Starting point is 00:01:01 No, I didn't. You didn't. I've been here, bro. Oh, you've been here? Okay. So you've been here. Oh, wait. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:01:06 I got to adjust my headphones here. Okay, yeah. Does this make my hat look stupid? Is it like it's edited? No. No, it looks solid. You look like you're a rapper. I know.
Starting point is 00:01:15 I'm actually thinking about, like, getting into music. Yeah. We're all solid over there, right? I did. I did that. Oh, we're fucking live. What's this? Water.
Starting point is 00:01:25 Nice. No alcohol in this water, right? A Moscow mule. It's a Moscow mule cup. Yeah, but it's water. I didn't know if you. It tastes like a Moscow water. Is this Moscow?
Starting point is 00:01:37 Yeah, yeah, yeah. It tastes like it. Yeah, no, this is a, this is from. I only drink mountain water. Yeah, that's exactly what this is. I seriously, I'm allergic to anything. She got it. She went.
Starting point is 00:01:46 This is why it took so long. I, like, exactly. She went and got it herself. I said, because my assistant should have emailed that because I will literally like, if I have bottled water, I'll rash up. I'll literally blow up. He needs mountain water only. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:57 It's pretty crazy. Hey, before we get started, do you mind if I charge my phone? Yeah, I noticed that a lot of people don't know who watch this podcast don't know that this is an actual outlet up here. Yeah, but I don't think you're supposed to actually charge your thing. It's got paint. Maybe don't. Yeah. That, dude, we should get rid of that because it doesn't work.
Starting point is 00:02:17 Yeah, I mean, it's, it's painted over. What a lot of people also don't know on the podcast is this is actually, this is actually an Ethernet cord for your TV. Do you mind if I plug my TV up real quick? It's just my car. I don't care. No, we're just going to do the podcast. Okay.
Starting point is 00:02:30 You could just... All right. Because I literally have my TV and the cord in my... Whatever. Yeah, just leave it. Okay, so I... How would I even label you?
Starting point is 00:02:39 Like, how would we label Adam W? Like an internet fucking, like, like, personality guy. Yeah, it's always like, it's always been like a weird label. I don't even really know what to label myself. I mean, comedian. Comedian, for sure.
Starting point is 00:02:54 But I mean... You're probably one of the funniest people that I know off camera the other person who was funniest to me off camera like that I met briefly obviously
Starting point is 00:03:03 I don't have like some crazy relationship with this guy like we're not hanging out every party but Kevin Hart Kevin Hart funny as fuck off camera
Starting point is 00:03:11 obviously on camera you as well so now I know you like to lie to your audience and say like you used to work out and like play football and stuff like that
Starting point is 00:03:20 like it's cool but like where did the comedy come from the thing is one I did you use to play football and i did also have a max bench of 315 three reps all right college but i'm not going to get into that brad doesn't believe me i is brad has seen me do multiple muscle ups at his gym and no you have no i haven't okay he wasn't there when i did him but i've done them at his gym
Starting point is 00:03:42 and it's been recorded so other videos the videos got deleted i i i you know i i can i'm strong i'm a strong guy i'm pound for pound i truly honestly i'm not even like capping like i do think i'm stronger than you pound for pound be yeah not obviously you're stronger than me you're you're huge pound for pound how much you wait I wait 170 okay how much can you deadlift because we can determine this right now on the smith machine or no a deadlift on the barbell smith machine no you don't use that's not as deadlift that's a you can deadlift yeah but no one does that I've done it before yeah it's not like an actual lift is you're just fucking off a dead dead dead lift I probably like it's tough to say like
Starting point is 00:04:25 I mean, I want to say like 362, 362. Yeah, it's not enough. Not to be bad on Smith machine. On Smith machine or without? Without. So on Smith, okay, regular bar I'm doing 362. On Smith machine probably upwards of four, four or five hundred.
Starting point is 00:04:42 362, huh? When was that time you did that? I believe last fall. I don't believe the shit you say, dude. I'm not seriously last fall. Okay, so, but you're, you're 100% to working out though. You actually work out. I noticed you post a lot of like,
Starting point is 00:04:55 Or you just fuck around clips like no you know what it is I got like really shredded for like maybe three months I did like meal planning I got really shredded and then I got I probably maybe two years worth of photos and videos then I stopped working out I stopped eating but I still post those videos and pictures and a lot of people nobody nobody calls me out on it yeah so I mean I wear big clothes and big shirts like I rarely ever take my shirt off and stuff you know yeah it's like you're just disguised yeah exactly so all right so clearly I can't get a straight answer from you but where when did you start to get interested in in comedy. Because like why do you think your personality, you know? You know what it was? Ever since I was younger, like even in high school, I was class clown. Like in college, I was the funniest guy in the locker room. And I sucked to football. I mean, I made it far enough to play in college.
Starting point is 00:05:41 But like, one thing I never had to try at was comedy. And I never even thought of it as like a career. I was just like, oh, it was just like one thing I don't have to try out as comedy. I was always like make people laugh. And it was easy, it was effortless. And then when I moved out here, right after I graduated college I was like all right
Starting point is 00:05:57 I wouldn't actually take this shit seriously and like maybe see if I'm funny enough to actually become a comedian so prior prior to comedy what was your what was your goal because obviously it sounds like you weren't like comedy is the first thing I'm thinking about
Starting point is 00:06:10 what did you want to do with your life prior to like knowing that okay I could I could be successful at this you're gonna laugh I mean like is it a joke no no no I wanted to be in NFL you're gonna think I'm fucking with you
Starting point is 00:06:23 I really want to be in NFL I believe that Yeah. Like actually, though. Yeah. Were you like, you were like really trying? What was your position? Corner.
Starting point is 00:06:32 You were fast? I was pretty fast, yeah. You beat me in a race? Absolutely. That's like, okay. Okay, that's what Sylvie said. Sylvie, am I fast or not? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:42 Well, what's your 40-yard dash? I don't even know. It's faster than yours, though. Yeah, so that's like kind of a rule of thumb. If you don't know your 40-yard dash, that means you're not fast. No, that means I don't, that means I don't, that means. Most people who aren't fast, they don't even take the test. Let's make a bet.
Starting point is 00:06:53 Oh, what do you want to bet? Oh, 40. Bet on the 40. Okay. You want to go tandem next to each other? You want to just do your time? Yeah, we'll just, we'll do like ready set, boom. We'll get one of those guns and we'll shoot it off.
Starting point is 00:07:04 Okay. If I win, I want to, um, I want to run the operations at zoo culture for two months. Two months. Yeah. I call the shots. But then I also want you to be like a member and come in with your membership. Check in. I'll make sure you scan your card.
Starting point is 00:07:17 If it's like, like, two months? No, like a week, dude. Two months a long time because we're also moving the gym. So I don't want to like, that might be around the same. time you open the new gym which could be a problem okay i'll do a month okay and then if i win because i'm pretty confident in this um you have to post me on your story of the every day for a week and say this is the funniest guy i know um that's it deal easy the funniest person who's the funniest person you know actually that's a tough question man that's a time like like in person
Starting point is 00:07:51 In person, fuck camera, fuck content, fuck like what someone, like in person. You've had a conversation like, like genuine conversations where you're like, oh, shit. I think Anwar is one of the funniest people. Yeah, he's funny as fuck. In person, he's funny. That's the thing, like with our comedy, like, for what I put out online, it's probably 10% of what I can actually do. Yeah, and I notice that about you because I know you personally and I've had a conversation with you. I'm like, man, like, I don't even know it's like I can even talk about some of the shit because like, you know, you're very brand.
Starting point is 00:08:21 friendly and I appreciate that I understand I understand like you know the purpose behind that but you do have some like really funny shit that I'm like man I wish she could just say some of these jokes yo you know it's crazy I just did the Bryce Hall roast did you hear about that yeah yeah didn't get invited to that and then everyone told me Noah told me about there was like you how come you weren't they wish you were there because I would have had like three four jokes lined up for you wow because like people were getting going after Noah beck in that's what Noah told me yeah he said they were going hard on him yeah it was almost like he was a roaster that's what he said
Starting point is 00:08:51 really people had I had one joke written for him but yeah I mean so the reason why I brought the roast is like that was I I cursed on that roast like I went kind of outside like with roast you can push the boundaries yeah like it's all in the context of comedy so you can really like everything you do is the context of comedy why can't you just go harder anyways well I mean like there's certain things you can do you know there's certain things you can do on social media and then certain things you can't yeah so like for me I don't curse on social media really rarely um and i don't do a lot of things but like on a roast or just well when i say context of comedy like have you seen some of the common central roast right yeah of course like there's
Starting point is 00:09:30 some crazy there's some crazy jokes in there like some what like over the top shit but you get away with it because it's a roast you know what i'm saying so like with roast you can always push the boundaries of it but like on that roast like no i wasn't brand friendly at all i had like a bunch of like yeah yeah do you think you'd ever be able to get to a point where like you could exist being like not brand friendly quote unquote and still have the success that you have oh yeah for sure i mean i'm slowly like trying to figure out how to transition to that but i mean like if i do a movie or if i'm doing stand-up like yeah i'm going to be a little bit more raunchy and more out there yeah but just online it's tough you know i have a huge kid audience yeah the actual
Starting point is 00:10:09 platform itself will like penalize you yeah exactly yeah you know you won't be able to monetize properly you won't be able to do a certain X amount of brand of content work with certain brands and I mean that's literally half of you know what I've created it's creating clean comedy yeah and then maximizing the most money off that content yeah because you fucking I know you clean up when it comes to like real big like brand sponsorships and integrations like I've seen Doritos shit like old spice shit all kinds of brands that are like huge brands um and you because is it was it because you get the massive engagement and views on Facebook? I mean, it's a little bit of everything. It's just the viewership in general, like the
Starting point is 00:10:48 engagement across all platforms. But like, I mean, I don't want to say it's all about money. Yes, of course, I like money. I want to make money. Yeah, it's fun. You know, the other half of it, too, is like, dude, it's maybe a better creator. Like, it's, I'm in a box where like, okay, I can't do a joke about this. I can't do a joke about that. Like, it forces you to become more creative. Yeah. Like, I've literally become a 10 times better comedian because I put myself in this box. Yeah. So now, like, if I could do sex jokes or this joke or whatever, like, dude, it would
Starting point is 00:11:17 be a home run. It's so easy. So do you think you'll ever do that? Like, do you ever do stand up? Yeah. I actually started out doing a standup. A lot of people don't know. I mean, I wasn't, like, successful.
Starting point is 00:11:26 Like, I was doing it, you know? And I've been on stage where, you know, you get to the point where you go on stage and your heart's like, you know, every time. Have you ever done, like, public speaking or, like, stand up? Yeah, I've definitely had, like, things or I've talked to, like, something like a seminar or like an event with a bunch of people. But for sure, yeah. of course yeah do you still get that feeling when you go up uh maybe for like a few seconds
Starting point is 00:11:47 right before knowing i'm going up and then for like the first like 10 30 seconds i kind of like it's kind of slows down once i get into it but yeah i always get the anxiety like leading up but then it kind of becomes clear because like normally if i'm going up to speak about something i'm not doing comedy right like i don't have to like try and be funny i just kind of be myself and it works for me well even with like so when you go up on stand up like the first 30 40 times I probably went up my heart was just like just pounding right and then what was this when did you start this this was uh I want to say like 2016 because before you get into the rest of the story give some people some background like you've been doing social media comedy stuff for how long
Starting point is 00:12:25 for like five years almost five years yeah it feels like fucking forever feels like longer than that I know I was actually like I was late and you know like all the people I hang out with like batch and yeah you were way late to that yeah I was like and even you like you guys were all doing this like I kind of came late to the party but um so many people like associate me with vine people are always like yo you're the guy from vine i love your vines and i'm like thanks man appreciate it like i'm not gonna sit there but i actually wasn't on vine i started back in 20 you know yeah you didn't do vine yeah everyone always stops me and remembers me from it's funny i you know that you sent me that video and i reposted it the one from like however long ago like think it was like
Starting point is 00:12:58 three years ago um and someone's like i love this vine it's like this wasn't a vine like they they identify you as the vine guy oh it's so bad but you were i never even had the app I never even had the app. Was it Anwar that they're thinking? Yeah, I don't think so. It has to be. Dude, the other day, somebody came up to me and, you know, people always stop us for pictures and stuff, whatever.
Starting point is 00:13:19 So somebody came up to me and they're like, dude, like your content, like literally Oh, no, I already know where this is going. They thought you were Anwar. Yeah, but, yeah. That's fucked. Well, we'll probably edit that out just so my story is better. No, fuck your story. I just knew where you're going.
Starting point is 00:13:33 It was so obvious. But it's all good. I should have freaking just put that in out of nowhere. You should have. Well, I'll tell you the story anyways. Yeah, go ahead. So dude comes up to me. He's like, man, like, dude, your content like changed my life.
Starting point is 00:13:43 And I'm like, dude, thanks so much. And I'm with people. There's a couple of people around me. And I'm like, yeah, thanks, man. Was a girl with you? There was a girl in the group. I don't know. Okay.
Starting point is 00:13:51 Okay. Was she a baddie? She was. I mean, you know me. You know, this is. I want to talk about this kind of shit, but I don't know if you can. No, for me, it's like, you know, everybody's beautiful. That's my love.
Starting point is 00:14:02 You're such a fucking motherfucker fuck you. No, beauty comes from inside. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Okay, Mr. Doritos, fucking brandios. Yeah, okay. So, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:11 Let me finish my story. It does, though. Hold on. It does come from inside. Absolutely. Yes. Absolutely. I'm not judging a book by its cover,
Starting point is 00:14:17 and I never have, never will. Go finish your story, you fucking. Let me finish my story, man. Let me finish my story. So, oh, God.
Starting point is 00:14:25 Dude, your content, like, really got me through something. Like, I was going through a dark time. I watched your stuff. And, you know, when people come up and tell me that kind of story, I'll, like, elaborate a little bit.
Starting point is 00:14:34 Like, yo, you know, it takes a lot of effort to make these videos, like dude I have to write have to stay up like I post every single day like this is it's a lot of effort so like for you to say that to me like I really appreciate that he's like dude like even my family watches you like is there any way I can take a picture with you like this is literally gonna make my year and I was like dude I look at me and I was like I literally so I'm like dude just tag me and war oh my god and I was like dude just tag me and I'll reach away and dude we had such a heart to heart that I couldn't like be like yo I'm not an war you had to hold that and I literally so I was like dude just tag me I'll shirt. Yeah. That is fucking crazy. Yeah. Do you think he knows now that you weren't Anwar? Has to, bro. He had to post it. I think he, dude, I get tagged a lot on photos of like that happens. Yeah, I get it. But I mean, it's actually starting to happen to him now too. Because you know, Anwar like helped me out in the beginning. Yeah. And still like, you know, helps me out a
Starting point is 00:15:28 bunch, you know, but we shot with each other. Obviously, I didn't have a huge following. Yeah. But now he's finally starting to get recognized Adam W by some people. That's fucking funny. Yeah. Where does, where does the creativity come from? from though because like I noticed you like I've filmed a ton of shit with you like gym related shit tons of like fucking funny shit and it's like you you're old number one thing I notice about you besides the fact that you say like yo we'll be done in like 10 minutes and it's like three hours which is fine it's fine um is you're you're very like crazy specific with like it being just the right way oh yeah so so where does the creativity come from because like
Starting point is 00:16:06 You know, you come and you're like, okay, we'll do it like this. And you just kind of like go far off. And I love the details of because that's what I think makes everything great when you focus on the details in any kind of project or comedy or fucking life. But you're very specific like trying to get the shot in a certain way. So like it'll be the best possible, you know, content. Yeah. I mean, dude, just from over the years of doing this like so much, I've mastered like this
Starting point is 00:16:30 scientific formula of what's funny and what's not. So like if you notice every time we talk about like, oh, I want to do this idea. I only want to do what's relatable because I know what's relatable is going to do the most viewership. Then, you know, I always bring in props. Why? Because 70% of content is watch without sound, right? So it has to be visual, right? And people, everyone wants to speak English.
Starting point is 00:16:47 Like, you know, it's, and also, there's so many people just doing sketch comedy. So what makes you different, right? So me getting these huge props, this big visual gags, it gets more viewership. And then even when it comes down to, like, specifying shots, right? Like, rule of thumb and comedy when you're filming, like, if I'm getting your shot of your face of a profile, file, it's not as funny if I'm getting a frontal because I'm going to catch all the facial expression that comes with that. And then like even another thing on my videos, you know, I always say like one line and I repeat that line. Yeah. Right. That becomes a tagline. People
Starting point is 00:17:19 remember the video. It makes it different than another video. And then, you know, that becomes a brandable line, right? And then, you know, you end the joke and it goes to the next one. You can't just say the same line in their video forever, right? Yeah. But it's all small things like that, you know, bring it together. The biggest thing I know is, about you when you started really blowing up was exactly the the outrageousness um visually growing yeah escalation so it was like you'd be like i don't know what was the shit you were like pulling up in an ambulance like it was you know there's so many different i've done so many ambulance videos i know it's so fucking weird but it's like uh was it the no standards yes the whole no standards
Starting point is 00:18:01 thing with the girl stuff and you're like you're coming in like whatever you know she or big nose or the big finger and nails whatever she has like big feet and then the guy says no and I come around with a big shoe yeah yeah dude like that shit that shit it's some of the funniest shit I've ever seen and that's when you really I feel like I started seeing that I was like oh this dude's fucking like taking off dude and I would like spend so much money on those videos at this time I was broke I know everyone was telling me I remember this too because I would talk to other creators who were like you know like daystorm and all the people doing comedy stuff and they're like Yeah, fucking Adam just like spends a bunch of money on all this shit.
Starting point is 00:18:34 Dude, I was spending money that I didn't have. Like, I would literally freaking, bro, you know, I got banned from Home Depot. Why? Because you were like, banned from North Hollywood Home Depot. You try to return shit? So I went to Home Depot for like a year and a half. Yeah. And I just kept buying shit and returning it.
Starting point is 00:18:49 Like, I never actually kept one thing. I feel bad. We do that. We do that all the time. No, we don't. We don't do that. No, no. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:55 We don't do that. Yeah. Dude, what you guys were doing was like elementary compared to what I was doing. I'm renting lawnmowers. bath tubs washing machines like heavy machinery things i'm not renting a hammer and the biggest items they had i was renting and i go back and return it and um one day i went in and dude and it got tough too because like when i was first making the videos like nobody knew who i was and as i as i started going to home depot more people were like recognizing me some employees and stuff and one of
Starting point is 00:19:22 the employees recognized me and at this time i've been like renting shit from there for like a year and a half yeah and um the manager came out and he and because i i this is this is This is like my fifth time renting a lawnmower and returning it. And he's like, I just want to let you know, like, if you're putting, we can see if you're putting gas in this thing and like taking it out and using it. And I'm like, no, I'm not using it. I got it for my dad. You didn't want it, right?
Starting point is 00:19:44 Yeah. And they think that I'm like filling it up with gas, but they don't know, I'm just using for a video and putting a sound effect. Like, I'm not turning the thing on, right? Yeah. So then they end up like looking up my, my history on my, like, orders, like on my name. And like, literally I've rented over like 300 items from there, never kept one. And they banned me for life
Starting point is 00:20:02 So now I go to Lowe's Nice Now you're gonna rack up a tag by Lowe Yeah until they catch me And then maybe Ace Hardware I don't know You know what you should probably just go to them And be like hey this is what I'm doing
Starting point is 00:20:11 And they probably just be like Oh just fucking Put us in one little thing you know No free brand deals No free brand deals Dude so can you even explain Can you share how much money You make from brand deals like that?
Starting point is 00:20:22 Yeah for sure I mean I'm charging About roughly 100K per post Which is crazy I don't want to say always 100 Sometimes 70, 70 to 100 Right, that range This is a big brand
Starting point is 00:20:35 Big brand's bandage Yeah, only Fortune 500 companies But are you serious? Are you joking? No, I'm serious, yeah Like actually? Yeah, I mean I've never done a brand deal For something that's not a Fortune 500 company
Starting point is 00:20:45 I can't tell if you're trolling here No, I'm serious Okay, so like I mean maybe like once Like way back in the day But I mean, yeah I mean think about it Only Fortune 500 companies have those budgets
Starting point is 00:20:56 Yeah And I've even had friends who've come to me like, yo, promote my product. I'm like, dude, like financially, it wouldn't make sense for you to pay my rate. You wouldn't get the return. Right. So I have a question for you then. Prior to those big, the big bigger brand deals, like 100K, 80, 70, whatever, what were you doing
Starting point is 00:21:10 brand deal-wise to make money? Were you doing other brands? Dude, I really wasn't. I mean, I was doing like things here and there. I would say that, I mean, my rate was. Like, how are you surviving, you know? My rate was far lower and I was maybe doing like one or two, but I was an assistant. So I was an assistant for like a year and a half.
Starting point is 00:21:26 and I was filming videos in my off time and then I would go to work but it sucked because it was an on-call job so like there was times where I was filming videos and my boss would be like, yo, who are you assistant for? Kenny Hamilton. Kenny, who's that? He's like big into the music industry,
Starting point is 00:21:44 you know, management of different artists and whatnot. He's an awesome guy. I mean, I've been friends with him for a long time, but that's how I moved out here. He gave me a chance to be his assistant. So like if I'm shooting and doing something, I'm leaving because he's asking me to do something. Like in the middle of,
Starting point is 00:21:56 a shoot, you know? Yeah. Not that it was like a big production, but I'm like on my phone and I have people doing favors for me. So that's how I was making money. And then at a certain point I quit and I was like, I'm doing videos full time when I had a few go viral. I still wasn't making any money. So at what point was this? So how many followers did you have? Like where were you at when you were like, okay, I can make this full time? Yeah. 7,000 followers. Wait. Are you serious? Dude, I had like, okay.

Starting point is 00:24:37 in the past got it so um yeah it goes like viral my page goes to like 7000 followers and i call my boss and i'm like yo um like i had this video go viral like i'm quitting and he's like wait so it only took oh hey wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait Wait, wait, wait. It took one viral video and you were like, fuck you, I'm out. But not obviously negative. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I was just like, dude, like, I'm famous now.

And I'm like, yeah, man, like, dude, I'm kind of fucking famous. I'm a big deal. Yeah, 400,000 people saw this shit. Yeah, so anyways, I had like, the next video I posted it ended getting like a thousand views.
Starting point is 00:25:21 And I got humbled real quick. and I was like maybe I made the wrong decision but I didn't I had stuck with it I ended up moving in a in a two-bedroom with four people damn I'm saying like 600 bucks a month right and now at this time I'm not making any money so I'm borrowing money for my sister so my sister's sending me 600 bucks a month right fuck and I'm making videos and I'm making videos and how long did she send you 600 bucks a month to pay that probably about I want to say like seven eight months she said but here's the crazy thing so this is when I was doing the no-stander videos right wait wait wait wait wait a sec this is the same time same time so well no no
Starting point is 00:26:01 no standards videos had just started like they started like I started doing them and maybe it's like my 15 to 20 video so I had just quit and now I'm just trying to make content wow that's crazy because when you were doing the no standards video I was like yo this guy's got money oh no dude I was so broke yo that's crazy I mean dude think of anything that was ever in that video Everything was either a favor or bought and returned. That's insane. Because people thought you were spending money on that, dude. They were even telling me like, yo, Adam spends tons of money on this shit.
Starting point is 00:26:30 You know you're broke when I was borrowing money for stuff that was returning. Yeah. I would borrow the money for my sister, return it, and then give her the money back. Because I didn't have the money like in my own bank. What the fuck? Yeah. Yeah. And so was that the series, the first kind of series of things that really started to take off?
Starting point is 00:26:47 Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, so, I mean, I'll tell you quickly this. So basically, she's paying my rent, whatever, right? I'm making these videos. And the No Standards thing is like my biggest series. I'm getting like millions of views on it.
Starting point is 00:26:57 Yeah. And this is like, we're talking five years ago, okay? Like a million views is probably not as big of a deal as it is today. But back then, like on IG, my million views was crazy. Yeah, it was. You know? It was a fuck ton. I remember seeing that and being like, how the fuck is he getting all these views?
Starting point is 00:27:11 Exactly. Yeah. So like, it was a big deal. So I had got to a part in the series where I was like, yo, I need a giraffe in this part. Oh, I remember this. Yeah. so I'm online and I found somebody else I found like this animal zoo somewhere that I got the other animals from
Starting point is 00:27:26 but I couldn't find a giraffe anywhere in California like actually it's a law you can't shoot with any zoo animal you know that right what yeah you cannot shoot with a zoo animal like an animal from the zoo yeah you can't it's illegal oh yeah oh wait stupid law yeah I mean clearly dumb law yeah I mean it stopped me from like this so this what I had to do or actually shit was it a giraffe or was it a was it an elephant
Starting point is 00:27:52 no I think it was a giraffe was a giraffe because I had an elephant in that series also yeah so anyway I find this guy right online right on the 10th page of Google right what you're on the 10th oh 10th oh you're like you're going deep I'm looking for giraffes I need a giraffe for like one thing about me you know me when I'm shooting a video if the video if the video requires a giraffe we're getting a giraffe a giraffe we're not getting anything else yeah it's a real giraffe I'm shooting a video and I need a wine glass I'm not using a regular glass I'm getting the wine glass yeah exactly no matter how much money I have or what the I'm getting it yeah because that's the vision so I find this guy I hit him up I'm like yo
Starting point is 00:28:29 I'm doing this student project like this is before it's social media you're such a capper they always go bad for students yeah I was like oh starving student no I mean dude the guy like this was before social media was a thing you know yeah so I'm like I'm doing the student project like is there any way like I can use your giraffe for video yeah and he's like dude, I charge like $10,000. Like he does movie productions. That's how I found his website. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:28:54 So he lives in Oregon, Medford, Oregon. Right? So he's like, well, first off, it's a minimum of $10,000 to use a giraffe. Plus, like, I have to drive it. You're like, that's not a good price. That's not a good price. I was like, dude, like, I have no money. Like, I need to do this.
Starting point is 00:29:11 Like, what's the, what's, like, give me a deal. Did you tell them what you need? You just need it for a second. For a second, five seconds. So I just need to turn the corner with the draft. Yeah, no. Yeah. So he's like, okay, the best thing I can do is I'll do it for $3,000.
Starting point is 00:29:25 You have to come to me, right? I'm like, all right, bet. Like, I'm not going to get this guy to go cheaper than $3,000. Mind you, I don't even have. Like, I probably have $600 in my bank account at this time. Yeah. So I call my sister, who's been paying my rent. And I'm like, yo, my birthday's coming up.
Starting point is 00:29:40 Yeah, your sister's a legend located for this. Yeah. So I hit her up and I'm like, yo, my birthday's coming up. Like, I have a request. I want, I need a direct. raft for my videos or any way you can give me $3,000 to get it for a video. And she's like, get the fuck out of here. She's like no fucking chance.
Starting point is 00:29:56 Like she's been paying my rent. She's like, there's no fucking way in hell I'm giving you $3,000. Get the fuck out of here. Yeah. So like, a month goes by, I'm banging her. I'm like, please just like give me the money. Like I promise you, I'll pay you back. I promise you, I'll pay you back.
Starting point is 00:30:09 And she finally caves in and she's like, all right, just fucking, if you don't pay me back, like, I'm going to kill you. Like, give me the money back. Like, I know it's going to take you fucking years to pay me back $3,000 but whatever. gives it to me i take the 600 bucks i booked the flight to medford oregon i go to the airport this guy picks me up himself okay like i i at this time i don't even know if this guy lives like in a country town like a white guy like he's talked to me
Starting point is 00:30:33 on the phone like i guess i sound kind of white on the phone like he has no clue him a brown guy yeah he's like i'm like dude i'm nervous this is a country like town like and i'm like dude i hope this guy like i never told him i was brown like i hope he doesn't like flip out or something you know i don't know was he Nice? Dude, nicest guy in the world. Yeah. Picks me up.
Starting point is 00:30:53 Great conversation. It's dope. You didn't have to fucking pay for transportation. Yeah, dude. I mean, I just told him I was like, hey, man,
Starting point is 00:30:58 I spent my last amount of money on the flight. He's like, I'll pick you up from the airport. So he picked me up. I show up. I turn the corner with the giraffe, right?
Starting point is 00:31:06 He films it. This guy has never even filmed. He lives on a farm. He's never even seen an iPhone. Does he have other animals and shit? Bro, he has every animal. It's like a, it's like the craziest thing I've ever seen.
Starting point is 00:31:16 Like a zoo. Elephants. It's giraffe. Yeah, it's like, it's literally like, it's insane. He films the video, right? Drives me back to the airport. I flew in to shoot it and leave. I wasn't staying in the night or anything.
Starting point is 00:31:28 Yeah. I go back, I edit the video, I post it. Next day, seven million views. Damn. Seven million views. And I'm like, holy shit. That's fucking amazing. I'm like, holy shit, seven million views.
Starting point is 00:31:41 This is crazy. And like before I went on the trip, I had a theory of like, if I have a video that goes viral enough, a brand will reach out and they'll give me money. That's just like a theory I had in my head, right? But not after the fact because the video's already up. No, no, but before like just through that process because thinking like, how am I going to make money off this?
Starting point is 00:31:58 Yeah, yeah, for sure. Brand would see that and be like, I want to figure out a way to integrate my shit into this. Exactly. So I posted video, 7 million views. Make no money though, right? Of course. How many followers did you get from you?
Starting point is 00:32:09 It's got a lot from that. At that time, I was at like 400K followers, I think. Okay. Right? Maybe 500K is so long ago, but like 400K. So I post it. My sister's like, wow, that video did go viral. But like, you know, you still need to get my money.
Starting point is 00:32:22 Whatever, whatever. Right. So the next week, I get a DM from Timo. They just DM me. And they're like, hey, we want to pay you to do a video. And I'm like, yeah, let's do it. And they're like, we have $20,000 for you. I have, I just spent my last amount of money on my flight.
Starting point is 00:32:41 And I'm like. And you went, you went a hundred. Imagine? Imagine you're like, I'll do it for a hundred. Not enough. Not enough. I mean, not a bad offer, but no. You took 20, though, I'm assuming.
Starting point is 00:32:51 I took the 20, but the craziest thing is that before I even posted that video, so like I took that 20, right? And like, the typical person would have took that 20K and pocketed the whole thing and done like a crappy video, right, for their phone company and just been like, yo, I just pocketed 20K. I spent almost $4,000 in that video. Yeah. On that T-Mobile one.
Starting point is 00:33:15 So I took 4,000. out of what they were paying me to make their video what was in that video what did you pay for that one there was like a tons of prop design there was like locations i mean look this is like the beginning of my career at that point if i would have done that video today i would have spent like a thousand bucks yeah you know i just didn't know i was just like i need this video to be perfect right i make the video you know that you know the brand process you make the video you send it they approve it they send notes i send the video the lady calls me back and says it's the greatest video i've ever seen yeah she's like this is this is the
Starting point is 00:33:47 The greatest video we've ever seen. And I'm like, oh, thanks. Like, you know, I put a lot of work into you. She's like, we want to pay you another 20K before you can post this video. Oh my God. That is not what I expected. That's not what I expected at all. Holy fuck.
Starting point is 00:34:01 They really meant that then because brands never do that. Normally they're like, if they get you and they got you, that's it. They gave you another 20K because they liked it so much. I posted the video. Holy fuck. I posted the video, million views on a. brand deal no paid promotion no push from the brand yeah flat out one million views over a million views on that video second video over a million views on two brett dude you're not like you know
Starting point is 00:34:28 branded content like yeah you get fucked you get rins pushing it right like you get rid not getting over you know a million views so after that I end up signing like another three four video deal with them right fast forward two months after that trip I'm sitting at like 80k in my bank account Holy fuck So like And my that's that's gnarly Yeah and after the after the first 20k Mindjj I spent like 4k on the video
Starting point is 00:34:53 So hold on let's dissect it though Because like people are gonna listen to me like Oh shit I want to do that Like because like how quick obviously It didn't happen all overall that fast But how that how quickly that happened Like what would you attribute it to Like what would you say made your content
Starting point is 00:35:09 So different that these brands are like holy shit Obviously the viral nature of it plays into it But what are you doing doing like while you're creating on the back end that you think is adding so much more value to the like these this video so my process and this is before i even started doing brand of content right my process was okay when i come up with an idea right when i came up with that idea i didn't think okay i'm going to take this t mobile product and say hey go get this t mobile phone or go get this whatever the feature was that month that they were trying to promote what i'm thinking is what is the
Starting point is 00:35:42 funniest idea about a phone? What's the funniest thing about a phone? What's the most relatable thing that anybody can relate to a phone, right? I came up with that idea. Yeah. Right? Trying to get signal. Yeah, super relevant. Then I implemented T-Mobile in after the fact. So now this video goes viral, right? People are watching and it's funny. You're going to share it. Whether you hate T-Mobile, whether you love T-Mobile, it's a funny video and you're sharing it. It just so happens that T-Mobile is implemented into the video. Yeah. So my process is not not, what can I do with this T-Mobile phone? My process is, okay, let's talk about phones.
Starting point is 00:36:16 What's the funny thing about phones? Then let's add in T-Mobile. Then let's add in Doritos. Then let's add in the brand. Yeah. So that's the process of why the video is so different the next video. And that's why it's matching the same amount of reach as a regular video is on my page. Because you're focusing on the comedy first.
Starting point is 00:36:33 Exactly. And the content first. Yeah. But at the same time, we're going to hit the branded line. We're going to show the product. We're going to get inserts in the product. You're going to know it's a T-Mobile video. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:41 But you're enjoying the video. regardless yeah that's important man because yeah i mean people you hear stuff like this story is so like you know a kid watching this can be like i'm funny i could do that too it's like but you got it you can't don't yeah yeah you're funny you're funny yeah you can't yeah there's only space for one now who else is doing it at this level a comedy like branded videos because i don't there's not really anyone that i'm seeing i see little things here and there but not to that degree i see people sprinkle in and out of like doing brand of content and not like my business is different
Starting point is 00:37:15 like my whole page is based off brand of content we've talked about this I don't care about monetizing from the platform I get it and I do monetize from the platform but for me all I care about is getting the most viewership and then you know I'm going to do six seven brand deals a month yeah it's crazy
Starting point is 00:37:31 because I don't do I do fucking like damn near zero all my all mine is based off of my companies well it comes a lot too like I have a really good team as well you know and and I mean Dude, believe it or not, like I get so much influx for my email. I mean, I think it's just because it's like probably some of the better clean content online. Because you kind of have like people who do clean comedy, but it's really crappy.
Starting point is 00:37:54 Or just clean content in general. And it's really crappy. And then you have people like, you know, who... I've seen really bad clean comedy. It's tough. It's tough. It's really bad. You know how hard it is to be funny and not curse or talk about sex?
Starting point is 00:38:06 It's like, it's literally made me a better creator because I had to challenge myself to come up with stuff like that. but going back so just to clear up the sister situation yeah she did uh i got i spent like 4k on that video and then i gave her 3 000 back she's like how where the fuck did you get this money from damn that i told her so i ended up spending what is that 7k minus the 20 um so but then you got another 20 yeah but i gave that all away before i even knew i was going to get another 20 yeah you know dude that's crazy man i mean you're investing in yourself what what other things have you realized like on social media and just being on the internet in general that like are important obviously besides investing yourself like what other things do you think are important in your success
Starting point is 00:38:51 i mean do with consistency like this is the thing oh man it you posted this shit this the other day and i was like i looked at your reach yeah and it pissed me off i'm not going to like it made me mad but i but i but i'm also mad at myself because like i know why right because you're you're kind of hitting you know you're hitting the algorithm in a way like you know that it needs It needs a certain amount of content and you're nailing it. Yeah. And I just, I don't, I don't nail it anymore. Dude, the thing is like, you know me, bro.
Starting point is 00:39:18 I don't, I don't have a social life. I'm shooting, editing, posting every day. And that's like the only, and that's like what's so tough and like I hate. And a lot of people don't understand, like, do a lot of comedians that like talk bad about each other, right? And a lot of people say, like, social media comedy is not real comedy, right? Like, I've heard this stuff, right? But people don't understand, like, dude, one comedy is so diverse.
Starting point is 00:39:40 You have stand-up, you have comedy films, you have sketch comedy, you have social media comedy. Yeah, memes, right? And for stand-ups, right? I don't know if you know, but stand-ups go up there and they're doing the same bit every night. They're molding this bit, right? But it's the same jokes. They're molding it, and then they have a special, they release it, and then they start a new jokes in it, right? Comedy films, some of the top comedy actors, what do?
Starting point is 00:40:03 Three, four films max a year, right? That's all they're putting out, right? Dude, I have to post every single day. So people might say, hey, that video is not funnier. This is a fuck. I'm posting a new idea every single day. Do you know how hard that is? It's so fucking hard.
Starting point is 00:40:18 You know how hard it is to come up with a new idea every day. At a certain point, yes, it gets watered down. It's impossible. Many people don't notice, but for me, I'm like, I don't love this video, but I have to post. Yeah. Why do I have to post every day? Because I have to play by the algorithm. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:31 Because if I stop posting, then my viewership will go down. It fucking hurts you. It hurts. It's, it fucking has hurt me, dude. I'm not going to lie. It's painful. It doesn't matter who you are either. Like, it doesn't matter how big you are.
Starting point is 00:40:40 If you don't have like an outside source, like a celebrity type source, pushing your content like you're doing a movie or, you know, you're in the news or something. Dude, you're the algorithm doesn't care. You're just another number to them. Yeah. So, like, if you're not posting consistently, it doesn't matter how many views you were getting. You stop for two weeks. You're going to feel it on your page. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:56 I feel it every time. I think I, I, because I used to post like every fucking day, man, but I had just done it for so many years. Dude, you get burned out. For like, for like, for like, for me, it's like, how many times can I lift a girl a different? I lift a girl every single fucking way possible I know like legit every way possible I lifted a girl man I got a new one to post though I got a new one
Starting point is 00:41:16 The one that I did with you? No A new a new girl? I have a new one It was just a almost like a kettlebell swung the girl Like I fucking swung her like I'll post it this way I'll probably post it tomorrow Dude it's tough to like keep coming over there is That's the hardest thing but the difference me is like I'm a hard of work I mean I wouldn't say that's a difference
Starting point is 00:41:33 I think like it's more like You know your smokes It's about having a bigger heart No, you post more like insignificant, right? Everyone knows that. But who's got a bigger heart? Who's got more? My heart's probably actually bigger.
Starting point is 00:41:45 Commitment, dedication, loyalty, bravery. I mean, the list goes on for me, right? I think it's more like you just post pussy content. And like, you know, it's like, it's easier to like get away with that, you know? That's messed up. Yeah. I just broke down why I do what I do. And then we call it pussy content.
Starting point is 00:42:02 Yeah. It hurts. Respect, though. Respect. Like, it's dope. I respect. There's a whole audience for that kind of shit. Dude, there's more of an audience for that thing.
Starting point is 00:42:10 I know, I know, God, I know. Fuck you. It's true. God damn it. Fuck you. My audience is cooler. Your audience is cool. It is cool.
Starting point is 00:42:18 But it's like, I mean, for me, it's like, what are you giving back to community? How are you helping the youth? I mean. Oh, I'm helping the youth, bro. Are you? Yeah. Unofficially, officially on the internet, I'm a drug dealer.
Starting point is 00:42:29 So I'm like, I'm doing good for the, for the world, man. And I'm not actually a drug dealer. I do really mess with Rogger, though. No, it's fine. I would say it's probably the highest, quality of merchandise of any influencer. Seriously.
Starting point is 00:42:42 Like there are actual zip-ups. Yeah, it's nice. You know what I'm saying? Like this is like Nike quality. And I appreciate that because you actually I think me and Isaiah were talking about it. You actually wear the stuff you just like you're just wearing it in videos.
Starting point is 00:42:53 Dude, I always wear it. I even like trying to plug his brand. Like I wear it because it's actually like legit. Yeah, I noticed. And I have like so, bro, I have so many clothes. Yeah. And I always wear that shirt.
Starting point is 00:43:03 It's like the thing too with shirts also that people don't know is like most people's merch or just shirts in general, you put that shit in the wash, and it just fucking just is over. Yeah, just disintegrates basically. It's done,
Starting point is 00:43:14 but it is different. I mean, I know about merch. Like, I plan to release some like joke stuff merch, which is like more like that quality. But Ruggera means just a brand. It's like legit.
Starting point is 00:43:24 Like that has a whole life of its own. And that's, and that's so smart to do it that way. Like we're gonna, you know, we're gonna give you like the bag type money. You know what I'm saying? Fortune 500 type shit.
Starting point is 00:43:33 And that's the thing, dude, like even with, like it's so smart just the back end of how you did because like, You didn't call it Bradley Martin Gear. Well, okay, so there's a story to that. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:43:42 Yeah, no, I fucked up. I mean, dude, here's the deal. When I started originally when I, no, no, I did fuck this up. But there was no examples. When I started, originally the company, my merch was called BM Fit Gear. So. BM Fit Gear. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:43:59 My name, initials gear, right? And I was just selling things that like I really liked that fit me good that I thought looked dope that like was nice material. and I was selling that hats, tank tops, all this stuff, right? And then the reason why I transitioned, obviously I wanted to involve other people within the brand and I knew like I couldn't get a bunch of other influencers to put like their name, like my name on their back, right? And at the same time, my own evolution and process was, is over the time and over the years of me
Starting point is 00:44:28 making content and people showing up to expos and me talking, taking pictures and the feedback that I was getting was like, yo, the reason why I love your stuff. stuff is because you know you talked about this you talked about your life you talked about where you've been you talked about like I was always very genuine always very authentic raw right so I realized like that was the natural production like the not production but that was like the natural evolution of the brand in it not having my name anymore because I was like okay because I wanted to figure out a way to involve not only like other athletes in it um you know other spokespeople and also the audience within it like I wanted to figure out a way to encourage people like in personal
Starting point is 00:45:05 development because that's the only thing that I was doing that was like making me actually successful besides like lifting girls doing all this cool shit that people saw and was like oh that's cool yeah the reason why I was selling things to people people were buying stuff was because like again if I sat had an expo and I had a thousand people in a line or 5,000 people in a line and I take pictures and they're wearing my stuff and they come up to me and they say yo the story you told about your father about your past about your childhood like like I appreciate you so much and that person is head to toe in my shit so I'm like oh this is is why this person supporting me.
Starting point is 00:45:37 Like, not just because I was the jack guy who lifted the girl, squat on the hoverboard, did all the crazy shit, jumped out of the pool, all this shit, but because this person identified something that they really liked about what I was saying. And I was like, okay, this, this, so that's why the evolution of the brand went from being figure to roguier and about the encouraging the actual, you know, being fucking vulnerable, like being able to be your genuine self and share your story. And that's literally how, that's literally the definition of how you build culture
Starting point is 00:46:02 behind the brand. Yeah. Yeah, dude. Literally the culture and like the fact that you did it in that approach makes it even better because like I feel like so many people come out and start brands or even like they try to make content right and they're like dude I'm gonna write out like a five year plan and post it but that's not how it works no like you called it this and then through it the evolution of it you found out like the real meaning behind the brand as you went along like even even on a smaller scale even for my videos right dude I'd never post like a five part series and shoot it and then post it I'll post something and And if people like it, I'll be like, oh, shit, this is why people like this. Let me do more of this, more of this. And that's how series are created on my page. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:42 And that's how anything should be. So, like, having that. Well, because it's fucking real, man. It's genuine. Exactly. It's raw. People can see that shit, dude. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:50 You think they can't. But like, like you said, dude, why is that guy wearing the clothing? Yeah. I was able to identify that for sure. And then I'm just grateful, man. Like, again, you know, you talk about the quality. I'm not trying to hear a fucking two my own fucking horn. But yeah, the focus is to not, it's not to be merch,
Starting point is 00:47:07 it's to be a real, like, brand to feel like some shit where you're like, whoa, this is, this is on that level of those other, you know, the big companies that people like to talk about where people wear it beyond the fact now that, oh, Bradley Martiner, one of my favorite, like, influencers was selling it. Like, they actually just like, this shit's dope
Starting point is 00:47:21 and I just like the way it fits. I like the way it looks. I like the way it feels. You think there's like a, obviously, there's a fan base of people who like wear it, don't even know who you are. Absolutely. 100% of this point.
Starting point is 00:47:30 Which is crazy. That's like when you know you made a real fucking brand. Yeah. Like, don't even know who you are. Yeah. And that's the coolest thing, man. But it's like, yeah, it's two different ways to do it.
Starting point is 00:47:39 Because I always found that interesting about you. Like I would hear about your numbers. And I'd be like, God damn, this dude's getting fucking racked. Like, you would have everyone was making the most money from what I was here and talking to, because I talked to everyone for like single videos. And I was like, holy shit, this guy is crushing it. And, uh, yeah, it's just interesting. I think the different ways people can make it like to that level where, you know,
Starting point is 00:48:00 you can make great money doing something that, you know, is obviously not the same thing that you're doing. in this industry there's just social media is such a dope place man there's so much potential for people do you think like i don't know because i'll read these things where they're talking about like most kids want to be just like social media influencers now bro do you think i always like this question do you think everyone can do it i think the way it's designed now yeah i mean to be successful at it i mean you have like dude when we started or i mean you started before me but like you know it wasn't easy to just go viral no way
Starting point is 00:48:34 Like now a lot of kids on TikTok. I've seen accounts that have like 90,000. Well, TikTok's gnarly, dude. Yeah, TikTok gives people that opportunity. And, like, now there's so many, like, when we even started, there was how many ways to make money, either a brand deal or what, YouTube? That was it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:49 Now there's, like, all these creator funds and, like, all these other opportunities to make money and, like, are some people going to make millions of dollars? No, but enough to, you know, the job that they would have had. So, like, I think sustainably, yeah, a lot of people could do it. It's just there's levels to social media, right? And you know that it doesn't even come down to follow account. We know people that have 200K followers that are making more money than people that have 10 million followers. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:13 So I think there's enough for, like people can do it and have, they can live a working class life off of it. Yeah. 100% even if they're like. Do you think, do you ever think like, but let's say five, 10 more years, imagine everyone's doing it now. At some point it starts to kind of like dilute everything else. I mean, it has for sure for all of us, you know, like, how many fitness people are there on? Oh, there's a fucking, everyone, everyone who works out, period, is a fucking fitness. Everybody, same thing with comedy, too.
Starting point is 00:49:44 Like, everyone does comedy. So, I mean, like, you just got to be better. You got to be more creative. Like, I've constantly had to one up the bar and figure out a new way to try something. What are you doing to, like, what do you do for your creative? Like, not what your process is, but, like, what do you do to become more creative, like, or to look at things differently? like how are you getting better at that it's changed like it's it's definitely changed over the years I mean like I've tried different things where they work for a little bit and they don't like dude I used to
Starting point is 00:50:12 freaking go watch people I used to watch people for a while stand up no I would go to the park oh and watch watch watch like like like their activities yeah people watch yeah people watch like and that I used to get so many ideas dude I saw one guy who got caught holding the door open for like like oh that's fucking funny seven people like this guy like he held the door open he's imagine he's like sweat he's like fuck dude I'm getting tired he literally held the door open and then like he went to go and then like the other person was just like close enough proximity for him to have to wait you know and he waited and this is like this is a subway and like dude he got stuck holding the door and I was like this is hilarious I'm shooting this so like I would watch that kind of stuff and then
Starting point is 00:50:59 like obviously over time as they got a little bigger like now like if I see sit anywhere for more than 30 minutes people are going to start coming up to me and whatever so i can't do that as much but i mean like now i don't know if you see my page i do those stitch videos we did like a few of the yeah yeah yeah i love that yeah so like for that dude even just to find those videos is tough yeah bro i'm on that bitch all day searching dude it's but i have a trick for you this is how i do it so like and also like i'll scroll through like reels and then i'll see like a really hot girl and then i'll stop i'll go to a page i know you get fucking sidetrack it's crazy so bad fuck the internet's crazy dude i have to literally tell myself to scroll past hot girls videos
Starting point is 00:51:35 like because i'll stop and then i'll go to their page and then your whole explorer tab is hot yeah and then i'll be like i'll be like is she following me like let me send her message no you know what you know saying and it's so distracting because like dude i'm like i'm like i have to post in three hours like what are you doing get off of this shit yeah right so but what i do now is like if i find a really like like strange video or like just the video that i want to stitch I will like DM it to my editor and then I X out and then I go to our DM
Starting point is 00:52:02 and I click that video that I sent him and then I scroll off of that video because then it gives me all of those similar videos Oh that's right but can't you do that already on Instagram
Starting point is 00:52:14 once you find the video like if it's on you're exploring you just keep scrolling you get more of the same no I mean like if you click any real then you start going through it's all depends on what we clicked
Starting point is 00:52:22 because that your feed will go off of that oh I see So it's like almost like a more like You have this is only on Instagram Not on TikTok right TikTok is impossible for me You just like Russian roulette that shit
Starting point is 00:52:35 Yeah you just I'm just going and like you know But on IG that's what I do So then I see the video and then obviously At that point I'm like okay What's what's the most creative thing I could do like Matching that video or like that bleeding into my video Yeah You know because those do really well
Starting point is 00:52:52 There's this there's this one guy and he does this Cabby is his cabby yeah so like this guy literally got fucking famous literally reacting to videos and like most cases saying nothing yeah i mean dude think about it like literally was what we talked about he's all visual it's visual yeah it's all like anyone can understand it and also i saw i just randomly i bring this up because i was randomly on instagram earlier today and i realized i hadn't followed him so i followed him but i looked at one of the videos there was a video of someone with like a banana and saran wrap and a plate
Starting point is 00:53:25 And, you know, he reacts to it. But my first thought is like, bro, what the fuck was that first person doing to try to get the banana out that he had to smash the fucking plate to take the banana out? And obviously the dude's reaction is like, cut, stick your finger in and pull the banana out. But it's like, who the fuck filmed the first video? Yo, there's people that like are filming the, and they're serious videos. They're not even like, no, that guy was dead serious. Like it wasn't comedy.
Starting point is 00:53:49 He was like, this is the fast way to do it. It's, I mean, dude, there's so many people on the internet. There's a lot of dumb people. Yeah, fuck. It's crazy. those Snapchat stories. Which ones? Like, you know, on Snapchat,
Starting point is 00:53:59 they have, like, those little series of stories, and it's, like, hacks for, like, makeup and stuff, and it's, like, the most ridiculous stuff, but, like, people literally do it. Imagine your whole page was doing life hacks, then your content gets watered down. Like, you just start making life hacks out of shit that's not even, like, a life hack.
Starting point is 00:54:14 Take a banana out of the Saran Wrap, break the plate. We're running out of content. Dude, it's fucking crazy, but that guy, that guy, like you said, the visual, but I've just realized reaction stuff does so well. I mean, I wouldn't really say his is reaction, though. It is, though.
Starting point is 00:54:30 It's like, but it's, because a reaction is more so like, you know, not like, oh, my God, my reaction. Well, because those videos don't do that well. Right. Sorry. So maybe it's not reaction. It's almost like, uh, it's a stitch video. It's like playing something and then, well, I guess, because he's not necessarily just
Starting point is 00:54:46 reacting to it. He's like, look how dumb this was. This is how you really do it. Like, you could just do this. Yeah. This is making it more simple almost. Yeah. Because that's what is, that's what his.
Starting point is 00:54:55 main thing was he blown up off the fact that simplifying dumb shit exactly yeah but I'm just like I look at it I'm like how the fuck is this like dude and he does crazy numbers I know I saw it today I was like I've never I've never seen anyone everything is like over 50 million views I've never
Starting point is 00:55:11 and IG that's like like who is this guy this guy fucking work for Instagram like I honestly think he works for IG he's actually um he doesn't live out here he's he must live in the Instagram headquarters and fucking where wherever the fuck it is In Zermin, no.
Starting point is 00:55:26 Yeah, they built it around him. No, he lives in a... He's got the whole customer service team there. He lives with Mark Zucker. It doesn't, I believe that. That's probably his fucking brother. Dude, like, I saw this guy and I was like, who the fuck is? I don't think, I've never seen anyone get that much engagement.
Starting point is 00:55:40 And it's 100% real. Like, because, you know me, I like, I study. Like, I can tell when someone is fake followers. Yeah. It's so easy. It's so easy for me to tell me. Bro, I just don't get it, though. He's like, he gets more likes than the Kardashians.
Starting point is 00:55:52 It gets more likes than anyone. He's like, the numbers he's, they're unharmed. heard of they're absurd does he do brand deals I haven't really how does he make money I didn't see I don't know I mean yeah I I know for you got Jay Baldwin in a fucking video dude yeah what the fuck yeah he's bro yeah he definitely makes money who is this guy I think he's like he's up to some shit yeah we got to cancel him I think I don't know I'm just kidding I don't know shit I don't know enough no he's yeah he's fucking killing it bro he and he um he obviously makes money I don't know I don't know if he does
Starting point is 00:56:24 There's much brand new content, but he's, I mean, just off creator fund alone, like TikTok creator fund. So, like, obviously the creator fund is not like, you don't make the most money on it, right? But, I mean, for the numbers he's doing, like, he's making money for sure. Yeah. Everything he's posted is doing over 50 million views on any platform. Which is, have you met the guy? No, he's not from here.
Starting point is 00:56:44 I think, um, yeah, I think Batchett you know. You guys should do a video together. That would be fucking sick. That would be epic, yeah. That'd be a great video. have you done that did we do a collab post no right uh what's it what do you mean you know the collab post where you post with two people no i haven't done that yet we haven't i've never done that no we got to film that when we were talking the um it was in the gym with the girl we were going to involve a bed
Starting point is 00:57:10 it wasn't it wasn't we were i was in miami i was talking you on the phone about this i wrote it down we got to do that video it's in my notes for sure that one that's a good video we still got to do it it's still super relevant to the gym how many more days you have in zoo culture like before you guys move oh we got a few months oh yeah we're getting all the new equipment everything ready the new spot already so i'm trying to so this is the thing i'm trying to decide am i going to continue to just pay that rent there and keep that gym as it is and have it super private just for content and content creators and then get brand new equipment to the new space so i have to figure out how much because i'm getting equipment gifted to me from a company that i'm partner that i'm like kind of like
Starting point is 00:57:46 working with yeah and how much they're going to fund that and then i'll figure out from there if i'll just keep it and just continue to pay the rent here have like a private space for just like influencers and creators and then the new space is bigger more parking more everything so yeah and then we're working on a Vegas space too oh shit yeah making moves and then when Vegas goes well Austin Austin Texas yeah and then when Austin goes well Austin Texas yeah and then when Austin goes well Miami Brickle damn that'd be fucking sick that's gonna be crazy yeah and then Facebook headquarters and then the engagement the basement of that guy
Starting point is 00:58:21 Cabby's house exactly and then I will get the views I will be like give me your Instagram I feel like if I'm around that guy
Starting point is 00:58:29 I'm getting views I don't even have to touch him yeah you just be in the same room you at least get astronomical yeah you'll get at least an extra like 100K you know no I think you look at me and you're like
Starting point is 00:58:39 dude you're doing crazy numbers and I'm like this is child what I'm doing is child yeah you suck compared to him I'm nothing yeah it's sad it's really sad actually like it's
Starting point is 00:58:47 I know dude and it's like bro can we get him on the podcast can you look that No, dude, you would never be able to get him on the podcast. I'm getting him on the podcast. I know. He's going to be like this whole time.
Starting point is 00:58:57 And it was going to be like, best podcast ever. Holy shit. This is incredible. His manager is going to show him the email to be on this podcast. He's like, you walk off. Dude. You want me to go on this podcast? Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:59:11 No, man, it's crazy. The internet's so gnarly, bro. And it, and that's, so, oh, I got, I have this question. So you're talking about the gym, right? The crazy thing to me is like how. like when I first went to open my gym I remember being like oh man is this going to work oh my god is this going to work because I lived on the internet and I never did anything in person like never except you know obviously meetups and or having like people meet you and take
Starting point is 00:59:39 pictures at expos and things like that but it was like I knew okay everyone's going there so if they're going to see me there I'm in the industry they're going to find me but when I was like I'm have my own gym over here I was like man people gonna fucking show up and uh I was so scared to open my first year I'm not even gonna lie to everyone the truth like I was like I called you know like mentors in my life be like yo I'm fucking worried like how all this money I'm putting into it like you know everyone was like fuck it just do it but do you have any plans for like projects outside of the internet like anything brick and mortar because I know you tried some shit yeah I did I did well quickly to go back what you said that's so funny you say that because
Starting point is 01:00:15 literally like even to this day everything I do I'm like is this going to work like even when I paid to go get that giraffe the whole time I'm like this is going to work like yeah like I had no clues it would work or even like when I was making tons of money even just to like hire an assistant I'm like should I be hiring an assistant like what if I stopped getting brand deals and then I'm paying her like is this is this going to work you know so I always ask myself that and I still do I opened up a pizzeria yeah on sunset yeah October right before the pandemic. Oh my God. Yeah, it's rough. It's rough. I lost like, yeah, I lost like, I think I lost like 200k off that spot. Damn. Yeah. That sucks. And I asked myself, is this going to work? And I was
Starting point is 01:00:54 wrong. Yeah. Yeah. Would you do something again? Because you could crush us. No, no, no way. Dude, I'm like so out of like the physical business, bro. I'm gonna, dude, have fun at your gym. I'll be in the metaverse. Yeah. Dude, I'll be in both place at the same time. Dude, the metaverse, I'm not doing anything physical anymore. Like physical businesses are like, like, how tough is it? You know. Oh, my God, bro. It's literally a nightmare. Like, it's not a... I have so much respect for business owners because I've been on the internet.
Starting point is 01:01:20 Obviously, like, I'm a business owner in a bunch of different business besides just my gym, but having a place in person with people and like, you know, you deal with personalities and like everything. And then obviously everyone in there coming in, like the liability, all the stuff that comes along with it, dude, it's, it's crazy because it's literally the gym has made me the least amount of money and caused me the most amount of stress and has caused me yeah like basically imagine doing something that can cause the most amount of stress and give you the least amount of money the least amount of return but your thing but it goes with what you for sure so for me pizzeria like
Starting point is 01:01:57 for sure i can't say like having a gym is a mistake definitely not what i'm saying i'm just saying like if i just identified that business in relation to the rest of my businesses it costs me the most and causes the biggest headache but without it it wouldn't be the same right because now It is a place where I can meet people. It's a place where I can make content with other creators. So that's the biggest value in the actual business, not even so much the money that it makes. Because, dude, even throughout all the pandemic,
Starting point is 01:02:23 like all the shit, like, lawyer shit, all the stuff. I remember people would say like, you went through it. People would be like, oh, you just want to keep your gym open to make money. I'm like, the easiest thing for me would have been shut this gym down, fucking fire all my employees.
Starting point is 01:02:36 Now they're all fucked. But I would have just paid like whatever, whatever it was a month for rent and not payroll taxes, all this other shit, and I could have avoid all the liability, all the fucking fines, all the fucking lawyer fees. That would have been the easiest thing for me to do, but I would have fucked all my employees over. I literally, the same thing happened
Starting point is 01:02:52 to me. Pandemic hit, right? And, like, we didn't know when it was going to end or start. Like, this is the beginning of it. And I didn't fire anybody because I was like, I can't just fire people. Right. That's like such an asshole thing to do. I mean, as a businessman, yeah. Yeah. Financially, I should have. That would have been the smartest thing to do. Yeah, I was like, you can't just
Starting point is 01:03:07 you know, and this was before like, we knew that there was going to be a PPP and like any of this stuff right yeah it's like yeah bro even the PPP shit like they they they were so washy I still freaking was 200 in the whole yeah so it's just I don't know people I I just have a lot of respect for people who run businesses in person because it's like so fucking hard dude it's so hard amount of work you put in for what you get back not worth it at all it's crazy like you put in so much and dude I'm making videos like I mean obviously I had a partner two partners yeah like but I But I wasn't really, to be honest, I didn't even do anything.
Starting point is 01:03:43 Yeah, you're fucking stupid. I mean, you marketed it though. Yeah, I marketed. And I obviously put money up. Yeah. That's a lot. I mean, that's, that is a whole aspect of building a business. Yeah, but I mean, like, day to day, like, nah, man.
Starting point is 01:03:56 I get it. I would just go there and hang out behind the bar because it was cool. Yeah, yeah. And I like go to the bag in, my friends would come up, oh, I'm making pizzas. Maybe you find, get some girls hang out. Oh, my God. Yeah, it was like the coolest thing. I was like, yeah, you want to go grab some food.
Starting point is 01:04:08 Yeah, I'll neither go to like. You either go to, like, catch my restaurant. Yeah, yeah, you felt like a flex. Yeah, it was a flex. It was for sure a flex. It was cool. Do you have a girlfriend? No, I'm single.
Starting point is 01:04:18 I'm looking, though. You're looking? Dude, I really want to get married and start a family. Are you serious? Yeah. I'm dead serious. I want to start a family this year. Are you joking or you're serious?
Starting point is 01:04:27 Yeah. I think I know who, too. It's crazy. We have, me and you have the funniest conversations, bro. You know who I want. Bro. Holy shit. You and the rest of the internet.
Starting point is 01:04:36 Yeah. What? He's like, you know who I want. No, this girl is fucking, this girl is beautiful. Oh, my God. Like, she's, she's perfect. Yeah. Why can't you?
Starting point is 01:04:48 I don't get it. No, we're not going to, we can't tell that business. But like, the thing is like, if I like, oh my God, I would love to start a family with her. Oh, my God. Yeah. No matter how much it costs. No matter how much it costs. You know, it's like I'll spend my entire bank account.
Starting point is 01:05:04 Bro. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know if he's playing. be honest because you're you're being honest i would spend not because just because like it's been half she's so beautiful not just on the outside but inside as well and i know person no you did say that yeah you did say that and that's rare to find you know yeah but like outside is like really special though yeah outside because i don't know her i'll say the outside is just as special as the inside wow
Starting point is 01:05:30 yeah but i mean i don't want to get emotional yeah you might we might get him crying over here so you do really want kids though i do too man sure i just feel like Four kids. I want to have one kid this year. You want four kids? Yeah, four kids. That's a lot of kids, dude. Dude, yeah. I mean, I grew up.
Starting point is 01:05:46 My family was four. But for it, like, every year, one, one, you know? I mean, I wouldn't want my busting out triplets or twins. That'd be nice. Straight away. I mean, all three at the same time. You know, you get that done now, right? Yeah, because you can, like, they can manipulate shit.
Starting point is 01:06:00 Yeah. But you'd be cool to have three kids straight away. That's a lot of work, bro. Like, right now, if I had four kids. You think you could still make these videos and have those? kids? For sure. No, you couldn't.
Starting point is 01:06:10 Probably not. Yeah, no. No way. I mean, I don't think I'd be able to consistently post, but I would teach you these kids to algorithm. You'd be posting, yeah, you're a fucking dumbass. You ended up like me, not posting like twice a month. Dude, I'll have these kids editing for me.
Starting point is 01:06:25 Off rip. No. They're coming out. They're editing. Oh, so you want workers. I got you. That's the stuff. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:31 Respect. Respect. I mean, dude. It's a family business. Yeah, it's dope. But, no, seriously, all jokes I do want, I really want to start. I'm getting old. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 01:06:40 I'm 32. Oh, yeah. That's rough. Do you want a family, though? I do. How many kids do you want? Two. Why, two?
Starting point is 01:06:50 I think he's like, me and my brother. I'm used to that. Everybody wants to have the same amount of kids. You grew up with two kids? Yeah, me and my brother. Yeah. See, I had four, so, like, I have one four. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:00 It's, it's, I don't know why that's a thing. Would you adopt a kid? Because I'm thinking about adopt. Like, I was thinking about having four of my own and adopted a kid. I would adopt a kid, yeah. I would. Are you just saying that because it's brand friendly? No, I don't.
Starting point is 01:07:12 My brand does, none of that exist in my world. I don't get brand deals like you. You would adopt a kid or you're going to? I would totally adopt a kid. Look in the camera right now. Yeah, I would adopt a kid for sure. I'm not going to. I'm not saying I'm going to.
Starting point is 01:07:25 I would love to adopt a kid. That'd be dope. I seriously do want to adopt a kid too. Like at what age? I don't know. I mean, you know what? For me, like obviously they say like adopt the younger kid, right? But for me, like, I feel bad.

Like, after 13, 14, nobody wants to adopt the kid because he's too old, right? Yeah. So I would want to adopt a kid that's that old because I feel so bad that they don't get adopted.
Starting point is 01:08:31 You know? Really? Yeah, dude. That's, like, so sad that, like, at 13 or 14, you're too. old to get adopted where do they go they stay in the cycle they stay in the system so they basically go from like you you're a taker homes like just different exactly you're able to be adopted until you're 18 right and then you're just out of the system I don't know how this works you could adopt like a 25 27 year old no I'm

Starting point is 01:10:05 responsibility on for no that he kept getting passed around home to home and I was like oh I can't let this continue to happen yeah he's you're lying he's he's very quiet he doesn't like to talk a lot like past trauma yeah it's a lot going on you know um so holy shit no I really do want a family man I genuinely want a family you think you'll be a good dad though I think you like your kid will fucking just I don't know man I do I know for sure I'll be a good dad 100 have you ever seen my because you got yeah Just because you got cousins and shit. Yeah, no, dude, the thing is, people don't understand what it takes for me to make those kids look funny on my stories.
Starting point is 01:10:42 There's multiple takes. No, I think those kids are just gold. No, you're capping. They're funny. They're funny. They're funny. Don't get me wrong. But it's the directorial approach to it.
Starting point is 01:10:51 I'm taking this out of them. I don't know. Yeah. Dude, I'll show you outtakes. They're messing up. I'm crafting stories. I don't know. It's like a puppet show for me.
Starting point is 01:11:00 I don't believe it. I'll be a great dad. I think you'd be it. I honestly have the best. Instagram stories. I probably start a family channel. Money. Damn.
Starting point is 01:11:09 Family channel. New brand deals? Yeah. Would you? You wouldn't do it for that, obviously. Have a baby for, like, cloud? Yeah, because that's a, that's, I feel like that's happened plenty of times. It, dude, it happens.
Starting point is 01:11:21 I mean, no, honestly, I won't have four kids, but, you know, if like, freaking Johnson and Johnson's knocking on my door, yeah, I'll have another kid. Right. You know? For the brand deal. Yeah. You know? And put it right in the kids college fund.
Starting point is 01:11:32 Damn. So, I mean. That's fun. It's so fucking funny. But I mean, dude, I really want to, would you,
Starting point is 01:11:42 would you do like a family channel? I think so. I feel like I have to. You know, yeah, you would have to. Yeah. Dude,
Starting point is 01:11:48 you would be the first like bodybuilding family. Yeah. Everyone in the family, you should marry a girl who's a bodybuilder. And then you guys have like a super human baby. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:57 That comes out shredded. Yeah. Like literally. And then when we post, we could like, it'll be dope like, oh, this would be so funny.
Starting point is 01:12:03 You know, like everyone always, posts like the black the black and white picture of like the baby in the exactly we'll like give them muscles like photoshop muscles yeah and you both are like holy shit that would go crazy it's not even a matter of you just doing brand deals brands are going to reach out and they're going to start collaborating with other brands to make a product for you like similac protein right for the baby damn think about it gnc and similac together coming together for a protein powder new product and and basically your wife she's going to
Starting point is 01:12:33 breastfeed in the bottle, takes it out, scoops. Boom. 30 grams of protein. Done. Dude. Fucking brilliant. I want some baby stringers instead. That's brilliant.
Starting point is 01:12:43 Baby stringers, yeah, not a onesie, a baby stringer. The kid sleeps on a bench, not a crib. Yeah. Damn. That's fucking. I want 10%. You're shit in gold. I know.
Starting point is 01:12:52 Damn. You're sitting on gold. Yeah, dude. I'm about to have a kid tonight. Yeah. Dude, this could be big for you. No, it is. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:58 Where do I find a fucking in shape? A zoo culture. Yeah. I'm like, hold on, let me scroll real quick. Go to your gym. Oh, my God. Oh, shit. That could be big for you, dude.
Starting point is 01:13:10 It could be. No, honestly, like, if I had a kid, I would 100% probably, like, I mean, I, it's, I feel like at this point, almost everything I do on social media, like, if I'm posting something, it's just kind of about my life and what I'm doing. So I feel like I... There's a lot about your life that you don't share, though. There's a ton, yeah. Like, same with me, dude, there's so much that nobody knows.
Starting point is 01:13:27 There's a ton I don't share. Yeah. But like that... People don't think you share everything. Of course, but I feel like... share like the majority of everything because obviously everyone goes through shit and there's certain things that you're not going to put out there
Starting point is 01:13:36 yeah but I feel like the kid thing I would have to share because it's like it's such a it'll be such a yeah that's messed up prevalent part of my life because if you don't do a family channel do you didn't just not talk about the kid yeah because like part of me is like do I want to not do it because I don't want people to be like he's just doing it because he has a kid like he's trying to make it but it's like I feel like I'd have to talk about my kid
Starting point is 01:13:55 I don't think you know what I don't think I would want to do a family channel yeah it's a lot of work and like for me like where I want to go career wise right? Like, I want to be the biggest comedic actor, writer, director ever. And at a certain point, like, I'm not going to stop posting on social media, but I can't be posting my stuff on social media,
Starting point is 01:14:11 family channel, and making films. Would you ever do a podcast? I actually am doing a podcast. You keep lying about this shit, and it's fucking bothering me. I'm doing a podcast. I have clips to show you. I don't even believe you. I'm doing a podcast. Like, I swear to God, I swear, this is no, all bullshit and all jokes
Starting point is 01:14:27 aside, 80% of the time I think you're fucking with me. Most of the time I am. I'm not doing a podcast. But I do want a family. Wait, are you doing a podcast? I'm dead ass doing a podcast.
Starting point is 01:14:38 Wait, you just said you're not. No, it hasn't come out yet. Okay. We've filmed it. We filmed like a few episodes. Is it with Nick?

Starting point is 01:14:59 Dude. You're like taking, things out of proportion now okay i think if you ran back that clip you literally just said you did a podcast i'm not doing a podcast i'm not interested in doing it okay okay because you just said you had it you did it you've already filmed it does you not just say that no i think you did am i wrong you fucking you're you're you're taking things out of proportion and out of context i'm not doing a podcast don't plan on doing one but me and nick are we're it it will come out soon we've filmed it we just we don't know what like a podcast yeah got it so
Starting point is 01:15:31 the same sentence now you're doing it but you're doing you're not doing it what the podcast i'm not doing a podcast okay i i don't know how okay i'm so can we i'm so can we can we get some audience questions of course this guy's podcast shit is really so long yeah i'm i don't know because now you're confusing me and then i don't want to confuse well you're doing a podcast right now i'm on your podcast yes yes i mean i don't think we have to state that right no but you're you you have a podcast coming no you do because this one's going to be coming out oh this episode yes i'm also doing a pot my own podcast with nick with nick yeah okay like a podcast show yeah that's cool when is that podcast coming out with nick which one the one you do with nick what the podcast
Starting point is 01:16:19 that you've been filming that you're going to oh i'm not do no i'm not doing okay yeah go fuck yourself okay so let's get let's get one of those questions in there okay oh wait by the way if you guys want to ask your questions as okay go ahead say it go ahead okay so you guys could submit your questions i ask we're all talk at gmail.com and here's the first question if you had one wish what would you wish for so they just said i know it's an open-ended question but i'm curious what your answers would be okay if i had one wish this just reminds me that song was that omari on song no it's ray j ray j oh yeah okay j sorry ray yeah my bad um okay okay um okay if i had one wish.
Starting point is 01:17:00 Damn, this is really, really tough. I do that. People asked me this question before. It's a tough way. This is fuck, man. They gave some examples. There were like certain body composition,
Starting point is 01:17:09 lots of money, not paying taxes. So they were like, whatever. That one's like, you really had me on that. I'm not going to lie. The not paying taxes
Starting point is 01:17:16 kind of got me really enticed, but it's a dumb wish. Because you can never get away from that. And the government is going to always take your money. So if I had a realistic wish, which also, is unrealistic um hmm could it be like a personal wish like a like a like a wish he wants my wife but the wife that oh my god that's what he's thinking i know that's what he's yeah that's definitely
Starting point is 01:17:41 no that is people closest well it's not his wife it's hurting him no no no it's not his wife it's in fact someone else's girlfriend which we're not going to have this conversation about it's fine but she's very beautiful i mean she's the most beautiful She is probably one of the most beautiful I mean dude is there someone's legit Is there someone more beautiful? No she's probably one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen I don't know of me and you have the same taste
Starting point is 01:18:04 But to me we do She's there's no one more beautiful Apparently we do There's nobody Yeah it's kind of crazy actually And it's actually crazy It's almost someone embarrassing How often we've actually had this conversation
Starting point is 01:18:16 Yeah it's now it's happening too much Yeah we should stop I didn't even think it would happen on the punch So back to the question So if I had one wish I think my one wish would be to never doubt myself again. Wow.
Starting point is 01:18:32 Yeah, to never, like, you know that feeling of when you're doing something? You just have that, like, you know, we were talking about earlier, that thing like, oh, man, is this going to work? Like, to just not have that, to just fucking just send it, just do it, just go, like. Because in most of the cases when I just did that and like, and even the case of when I doubted it and then I just did it anyways, it ended up working. And in the cases that it didn't work, I still learned some valuable shit. I still kind of progressed a bit in my life. I got something else out of it that maybe wasn't exactly what I was searching for. And I just wish I was better at just like saying, fuck it.
Starting point is 01:19:07 Like I'm going to post this. Fuck it. I'm going to say this. Fuck it. This is how I feel like, fuck it. I'm going to have this conversation with a person, whatever, right? And I wish I had that just like, I just cut that off. That like self-doubt.
Starting point is 01:19:20 Yeah. Because I, dude, it would be endless. I flat out, I think I think that's a dumb wish Yeah, I do this is coming, okay No, seriously Go ahead I think it's dumb
Starting point is 01:19:29 Okay It's like kind of like I mean it's my wish It's not your wish No, cool and have it Yeah Why don't you just do your wish We're talking about one wish
Starting point is 01:19:38 Yeah And that's his Well I mean everyone's different So for me I wish Dude I wish like For maybe like five years ago I would have started
Starting point is 01:19:49 A mask company Like a face mask company right before the pandemic thing happened and dude I would honestly one be a billionaire I wouldn't even be on this fucking podcast you wouldn't even fucking be friends with me yeah
Starting point is 01:20:02 like one of those blue mask companies mass producing them like five years ago before the whole pandemic started I mean if we're going that I could be like I wish I was there we were going that and you picked the doubt one I mean well it's just like
Starting point is 01:20:14 we're not time traveling to shit you know we get five years ago there was no limits to the wish okay well then I wish then I fucking No, no, no, you can't take his wish down. Oh, okay, Jesus Christ. I wish, yeah, buy one of my masks. Some of that.
Starting point is 01:20:25 Yeah, okay, fuck off. All right, give us another question. All right. So this person says, I'm in a predicament. So I started dating my girl at the start of my senior year. And it's been like a year and a half now and things are getting serious. But I also want to have more experience in my life since I lost my virginity to her. I don't know if I should try talking to her about it or let her go.
Starting point is 01:20:44 What are your thoughts? Whoa. So he's how old. Yeah. I mean, neither, dude, because how old? So his kid. What is what? It sounds like he's like 18 or 19 yeah he's probably like because he says senior year I don't know if it's a college or high school so this sounds like first girl he ever had sex with yeah well I mean I think he probably lost his virginity senior year high school not senior college he said it to her never know first girl so so then he's probably 18 then so he sounds like he's 18 years old this is the only girl he's ever had sex with and he said he really loved her no he just says things are getting serious but I also want to have more experience in life I lost my virginity to her.
Starting point is 01:21:22 I don't know if I should try talking to her about it or let her go. I've never heard like, it's usually a girl that says, like, I lost my virginity to him. Like, should I move on? I've never, like, I feel like for a guy, like losing your virginity is like, I'm not attached to it. I don't even remember who I lost my virginity. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:37 Are you serious? No, not really. I mean, I don't have to think about it. Yeah. But not knocking it, not knocking it. I mean. So the question, it's, fuck. Should you have a conversation with her and be like, yo, I want to, I want to, I want to,
Starting point is 01:21:50 at more experiences. I mean, it sounds like he wants to have an orgy. Yeah, which sounds, I'm reading it between the lines.
Starting point is 01:21:57 Sounds dope. You know, I say go for it. I say, I say, I'll say this. If it's for an orgy, 100% do it.
Starting point is 01:22:05 Yep. If it's just to try other girls, do it. Yeah, in both cases. In both cases. I'm just going to say this. This is my thing here.
Starting point is 01:22:13 You're fucking, if you're 18, 19 years old, you're really fucking young. I'm not saying break this girl's hard and be like, fuck you. We're done.
Starting point is 01:22:20 And that's, you know, that's not the right thing to do either. But like the chances of you being with this person forever, although very slim, could work. Who knows? It's like, I don't know. I just, it could work. You're right. It is like a super young age. It's super young age to like, to be honest, if you're even asking this question, you probably,
Starting point is 01:22:41 you probably shouldn't even be in the relationship anymore. Yeah, you should get some new person. Well, you love somebody. It's pretty like, you know. Yeah. You know it. But I mean, they're young. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:50 I mean go have some more sex yeah yeah maybe tell her safely safely yeah exactly brand that's brand safe that was good I'm gonna search in condoms whoa shit is this a brand deal holy shit no seriously though um be safe about it but I have the conversation say hey this is where my mind's at like just so you're you're all both on the same page who knows maybe she's like cool I'm down for threesomes what about that girl who knows dude you never know that's the thing like just be honest and communicate She can't ever get mad at that. Nobody can get mad when you're just communicating.
Starting point is 01:23:24 Even if you don't end up, you know, ending with her, just tell her how you're feeling. Exactly. Because the worst case is like you hide it, you don't tell her, you cheat on her. Now you're like kind of- She walks in, there's an orgy going in your room. Yeah, it's bad. Yeah, she doesn't want to jump in. And we've all been there.
Starting point is 01:23:38 Trust me. We've all been there. Yeah. Getting walked in on an orgy. We've all been. I don't. No, I haven't. I walked in on the orgy.
Starting point is 01:23:46 Oh, yeah, yeah. And we've all been there, right? Everyone's girls got caught in an orgy and you walk in It's typical. It's happened to me more than one time I've never I've never actually been there well there's people out there I mean right I don't think it's really common but you know we've all walked in two or three orgies on our girl No no no I think that's a specific thing for some people It happens for very select people you get home with the groceries you hear something upstairs you walk in
Starting point is 01:24:16 band and five four or five dudes. It's life goes on, right? It happens. You move out of town and you try to be a new person and start a life. You go out for a run. You come back in home.
Starting point is 01:24:27 You hear something upstairs. You walk in. It's another orgy, right? It happens, right? Yeah, it's, I don't think it happens that much, but so. Yeah. Give us another question.
Starting point is 01:24:38 That was fucking. Okay. Dark, dude. Holy fuck. God, that was fucking dark, dude. That was stove. I love those jokes, right? Let's go.
Starting point is 01:24:48 Okay, so this person asked, do you think that muscular men are starting to become less and less attractive in the eyes of females? Yes, absolutely. This is the best question you could have asked with him. It's so obvious. Oh, my God, I love it. No, muscles is all a front.
Starting point is 01:25:04 Yeah, yeah. It's all a front. Oh, big strong guy. Oh, I lift up weights. Oh, maybe I lift up girls. I'm not tying it to someone specific. Anybody who's muscles are out of style. They used to be big in what, like the 80s, 90s?
Starting point is 01:25:16 Yeah, yeah, no. Like Arnold Schwarzen-Ingu's Yeah, it's like, the slim-fit body For me is like, I think, I think that's what gets the most girls. So you're telling, um, the,
Starting point is 01:25:27 from the, from your perspective, what's get, what gets your girls? I think it's, I think it's a majority that I'm speaking from. Majority of dudes in relationship to, because that's like a dude perspective.
Starting point is 01:25:37 Like, I wonder what the girls think. I don't think you can't think you can answer for the girls like that. I, I, I talk to these girls. I know what's going on. I mean, dude, it's very obvious.
Starting point is 01:25:45 It's, it's, Like big muscles is a fad I don't know It was like flannels I just feel like No one's wearing them anymore right I feel like
Starting point is 01:25:52 Like fidget spinners I feel like tight camo pants is a fad Yeah I mean and that's the thing I'm gonna change my pants tomorrow Is Brad gonna change his body tomorrow Probably not Yeah oh god
Starting point is 01:26:03 Things go in and out And I yeah I think some girls like it There's definitely a niche audience for everything Yeah But it's niche But it's like It's niche but it's still wide
Starting point is 01:26:13 It's like a wide niche I'm not quite sure what that means mean like it'd be like niche like oh gym people and it's like there's a ton of them gym people is way different yes you want someone who's fit and works out but like big big muscles okay yo so okay so what are are you defining me as like huge dude this isn't about you bro no no I'm just I just know I know it's about me I know you're just like it sounds like you feeling personally no no no I'm just curious I'm curious asking you curiously now are you so my if you look at me am I big big or am I like athletic and then are
Starting point is 01:26:46 Have you know bodybuilders like big bodybuilders like yeah yeah the ones that like really like fucking huge yeah I mean not you're definitely like I guess what was the question it was to big muscles yeah I think you fall in the category of big muscles okay that's all I just all I wanted to muscular men muscular men so you think women like just like extremely muscular men yeah okay are less and less attracted to females is the question it do you think it's true wait they're less attractive no no she said that wrong females are less attracted to them because I think it's both for for no yeah that was a good one oh shit no no no no that was great dude no I do think yeah
Starting point is 01:27:25 I think um I think uh I think you should like cut some of the muscle down cut someone off yeah physically cut it off no yeah
Starting point is 01:27:33 I mean no dude you look good you're just Mac because I'm fucking cut no dude you're shredded I think there's a niche audience for you yeah now no to be honest
Starting point is 01:27:41 okay I'm gonna just be completely fair I don't think all women like it. I know that some women like smaller, like weaker guys that are less like physically able to protect themselves. Yeah, I mean, but with with the whole like advancement of MMA and like all these like you don't know what anyone knows, right? Like it's not about size. Yeah. There's always I think they also don't like the guys who like ambiguously speak about like things like that. Yeah. I mean, dude, it's like you never know what someone can. Yeah, you never know. You don't know my skill set.
Starting point is 01:28:12 Yeah. But I mean, I don't know, dude. I think. I think women are going towards like the smaller weaker. I mean, I would say weaker. No, like physically weaker. Not that you don't have like, like if you couldn't have skill. No, I'm not referring to you. I'm saying like other guys. They could have skill.
Starting point is 01:28:28 They could have skill. They could have skill, but like not directly. There's definitely a group of weak, skinny guys out there for sure. Yes. That I'm sure is also another niche crowd that girls are attracted to. But I think the ideal body type for that I personally think most of than like is just somebody who's like slim fit in shape. nice beard stuff not i don't want to bring facial hair into it but yeah like just a slim fit
Starting point is 01:28:52 athletic body athletic body all right how about how tall i don't know maybe six one and three quarters oh that's specific wow i'm just i'm shot spit ball in here yeah yeah uh yeah anyways i think that's the answer i don't i don't really know i think it depends no all jokes aside though i think there was like was there not a time when there was like girls were really into like like the Jersey Shore days where like everybody wanted like kind of like that buffed that have been early 2000s right I don't that really actually was like a fat not saying that obviously I think it's I think it's still there secretly is it girls still love that shit I think it also depends on like what demographic you live in like in L.A. girls aren't going after big guys yeah but like you know
Starting point is 01:29:34 maybe in Texas or something I don't know maybe you should move oh we're talking about me now I thought we're just talking about muscular guys no no I'm talking about the gym stuff you have you're opening up a spot Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I thought it was it. That you want to open a spot in Austin and move there. I don't know, dude. Yeah, no, it's not about me, dude. Jesus Christ, okay. Go ahead and one more question?
Starting point is 01:29:54 Yeah, yeah. So it says, would you rather take a body shot for Mike Tyson or a full kick, like a power kick from Joe Rogan to the body? Oh, fuck. Wait, Mike Tyson in his prime or like now? In his prime. Oh, fuck, man. That's really a bad, that's really a fucked question.
Starting point is 01:30:12 Wait, I'm sorry. It's like Joe. Rogan some was he a fighter oh you haven't seen no joe's joe wasn't a fighter but joe's like really well trained oh really extremely well trained yeah because he has like a really no he has the joe rogan kick where he like well we joke and call the joe rogan kick but it's a it's a spinning kick where like he spin and then you like spin him brad i can't really show him i mean there's not enough i mean i can do it there's just not enough room and i have nothing to hit i'm not going to kick randomly in air it's a full body kick like imagine I spin my body like if I'm
Starting point is 01:30:44 pivoting on this leg okay and I spin and I kick with this leg okay that way heels hitting me yeah foot kind of like a push hitting me yeah foot where's the foot where's the foot hitting me where's the point of impact body so same shot so body shots dude I'm going with a Joe Rogan yeah dude Mike Tyson and his prime with a glove on with a glove on please say it is okay so I'm assuming a glove on yeah because I Mike Dude, but both can equally fucking fuck you up. A Mike Tyson punch to the stuff
Starting point is 01:31:14 And it's prime Yeah, I guess. Dude, you're dead. Yeah, you're breaking your ribs. His fist is going through your body. Well, not me, you. Well, like the skinnier, weaker guy. Not necessarily you.
Starting point is 01:31:26 I'm just saying you in a situation Like getting punched. But maybe women prefer like the The guy who's just more fragile to the punch. Well, I mean, I think I'm fucking around I do
Starting point is 01:31:41 The thing is like you make those jokes But you know I'm strong I'm a strong guy I'm pretty strong for what I look like You don't like I can bench 225 10 times Could you? Yeah
Starting point is 01:31:51 Yeah I believe that Yeah I mean What is like you probably know the stat more than me Like what's the average male bench Yeah they're not Yeah 225 is pretty heavy Yeah
Starting point is 01:32:01 You are you are in an elite class Yeah if you consider like all statistics 225 close Yeah, but in the gym, but in like the gym bro community, you're like basic. Really? Yeah. 225 is not impressive in zoo culture? What's an oppressive weight?
Starting point is 01:32:16 Not like obviously, like I know you go in there and put like 800 pounds, but like what's like a strong guy in zoo culture benching? An averagely strong guy. I guess like 315 for a few reps. Dude, 315 is a lot of weight. It is. Someone's putting up 315 in zoo culture. People are looking. No?
Starting point is 01:32:33 No. More like four over there. What about dumbbells? Because I can bench 100. hundred dumbos. Yeah, that's weak. Really?
Starting point is 01:32:40 Yeah. At zoo culture or just like... Kind of in general. I feel like a lot of... Dude, If I walked in 24-hour fitness or Planet Fitness and I'm putting up hundreds...
Starting point is 01:32:47 Planet Fitness. Yeah. Well, they don't even have hundreds. Yeah, I don't even think... But 24-hour fitness, if I'm putting up hundreds... I don't know. I think...
Starting point is 01:32:55 Dude, there's next breaking. No. $120 maybe. There's next turning. Maybe because, like, they had to get water or something. People are stopping their sets. If I'm in there...
Starting point is 01:33:04 No. Oh, sorry. I didn't even specify this. On England. We're not talking. Okay, okay. So that's a little bit better. Yeah, incline hindoes.
Starting point is 01:33:11 For how many reps? Me personally or general? No, you. Well, who will be lifting it in general? I mean, your questions are so vague. No, how many times are you lifting 100 pounds incline on the dumbbells? I could probably do it for five, five, six reps. Wow.
Starting point is 01:33:29 Not right now. I could let it back in my heyday. But, I mean, dude, that's like, dude, 100 pound dumbbells incline? Yeah, dude, people are turning from the water fountain. They're not. People are walking, people are watching on their weight at the fountain. No, they're not, though. They're definitely not.
Starting point is 01:33:46 At 24-hour fitness, yes. You used to work out there? Yeah, I've worked out there. You've worked out there or you used to work out there? I used to work out there. On a guest pass or you had a membership? I still have a membership, dude. Okay.
Starting point is 01:33:55 Still pull up sometimes. That sounds like a terrible financial decision since you have your own gym. No, I have a super cheap membership. It's like 20 bucks a year. Oh, your grandfathered in? Yep. Wow. Yeah, all of them.
Starting point is 01:34:05 $25. Yeah. They try to get me to lose that membership at least twice a year. They're like, you have to pay this. Like, they pulled me like these like bullshit. Dude, that's like pretty much free. Yeah, it's. Because I worked at 24 and I was a trainer.
Starting point is 01:34:17 So I had like the special deal. And then I bought some like, I used that like deal to buy it for like a few years. And then it's just like they just kept asking me to auto renew it. And I just kept auto renew and I just been in there forever. Dude, you know what you should do if I were you? You should like go to like random gyms like in the most random city and just go on someone's bench and start using it. and then just be like, no one will ever believe you and walk out. Like the fact that you're showing up there.
Starting point is 01:34:41 Wait, say to the person, no one will ever believe you and just leave. And just leave. Just like, like, no one ever believe that. Like, you're in the middle of like freaking Arkansas. Yeah. Some 24-hour fitness where no one's ever expecting you to show up. And you just walk in the gym, bench their set and then walk out. Yeah, but what am I video in this?
Starting point is 01:35:00 I'm just doing this for fun. No, you're just doing it. It's just to fuck with people, just to fuck with them. You ever heard? You know who Bill Murray is? of course yeah so do you know what he used to do no you used to like go in like random
Starting point is 01:35:10 this is what I've heard so maybe this is a lie but this is a comedian as an actor yeah yeah he used to go into like random diners like random diners in the middle of nowhere and he'd walk in and he'd like take a bite of someone's sandwich and then put it back and like no one will ever believe you and walks out that is fucking hilarious what the fuck
Starting point is 01:35:30 yeah and I guess you can't do it but like he did it before like like people had phones and social media so like yeah because they're just gonna can i get a picture yeah dude he would just walk in and just bite someone sandwich and leave and like no one's ever gonna believe you yo what the fuck where did you figure this out at how did you learn that the story dude i was like this is the most genius thing ever why what's genius about it just seems like kind of fucked up mind fuck that guy is gonna later go and tell all his friend dude i was fucking eating it fucking uh the diner and fucking bill murray came in and bit my sandwich

Starting point is 01:36:14 I'm fucking... Dude, but that's the mind. Oh, my God. But what's the point of that? Think about this. That guy is still telling that story to this day. That guy who got a sandwich, but he's still trying to get someone to believe him.
Starting point is 01:36:26 Damn, that actually is probably true. He's showing up into town. Eating the sandwich, leaving getting on a flight, getting out of here. No one even knew here. he was in town. No, if he had to do something else.
Starting point is 01:36:36 This guy is going to freaking, now he's, he's going to start questioning himself, did Bill Murray bite my sandwich? Is it all a facade? Yeah. Now he's going crazy. You've left this,
Starting point is 01:36:46 you've left this on this guy's mental for the rest of his life. But what's the point of that? Dude, it's, it's just fucked up, man. It's like the impact,

Starting point is 01:38:05 I don't even remember what it was. We talked about the Bill Murray sandwich thing and went off for like 10 minutes. What was the question? Yeah, people were going to watch this to be like, these two fuckers are so high. I'm not high at all, dude. The question was, would you take a Joe Rogan kick?
Starting point is 01:38:21 Oh my. Yo, it makes no sense. How the fuck did we talk about the fucking Bill Murray sandwich, dude? Not even close. What the fuck? What the fuck did it? How did we get there? It's not even close.

Starting point is 01:39:07 cliche but influence people in a positive way genuinely that's the coolest thing I'm doing my life and the fact that I've been able to see success in it like financially and like that people have been giving back in like a way like I want to support is fucking crazyish fuck to me it's like just I don't know I feel like I'm living a fucking dream to be honest that's dope not like actually though because I think about this we get You know, it's like, we're literally sitting here, like, talking and, like, you get to make money.

Starting point is 01:39:55 Yeah. Besides that, I think the question is, what's my greatest achievement? Achievement. You old fuck. Because you're all too much. I'm 29. That's pretty much 30. I'm still in my 20s though. Yeah, you're 30. When's your birthday? October 29. You're 30. No, dude, I'm in my 20s. You're 30, man. I'm in the golden year. So, no, the golden year is 26. You're 30, dude. No, I'm not 30, dude. I'm 29. Whatever.
Starting point is 01:40:19 I'm in my 20s. Statistically speaking, like if you put on paper, go ahead, old man, answer the question. Yeah, you're basically me. I guess, what? I will say this. I would like to answer this question when I someday get to my 30s. But speaking as me in my 20s, and it's tough to say. I don't know where I'll be in my 30s, right? Like, that's Brad's, like Brad covered that. And that's a whole other generation. And we probably grew up watching other stuff.
Starting point is 01:40:45 But just speaking kind of across the board for all the 20s. Yo, shut the fuck up. You dumb, motherfucker. Dude, I'm just trying to preface my answer. Yeah, I got it. Got it. Yeah. No, seriously, my greatest accomplishment.
Starting point is 01:40:59 Wow. I want to say this is not the greatest but this is like one of the things I'm most proud of two years ago I built a school I built a school for 195 kids in Bali Indonesia
Starting point is 01:41:11 Oh shit And that was like the most Surreal like Greatest feeling Rewarding Rewarding like thing ever It was built like in a village Like three hour drive away from Bali
Starting point is 01:41:24 It was like in this village called Kintamani And that was like for sure My proudest accomplishment And I'm building another one um that's gonna open up in march that i haven't really told it the same area no it's in a madagascar africa oh shit yeah that's really cool it's crazy like dude it's it's so crazy like how they live out there and like it makes you so grateful for literally anything like it's an area like
Starting point is 01:41:49 where okay if you don't have for example if you live here and you don't have food or water right you can go in a store and steal it yeah that's an option yeah no it's it's true Especially California. They pretty much that you walk out with that shit. You can do it. You know what I'm saying? Over there,
Starting point is 01:42:04 there's no store. There's, like if you're hungry or you don't have water. Yeah, you're fucked. That's it. You just got to like...
Starting point is 01:42:11 So it's like, it makes you like, doing the perspective of like... I was having this conversation last night with someone actually. Yeah. Like this idea of how blessed and how grateful I am
Starting point is 01:42:21 to be like literally born in this time in this period with like the technology and the advances that we have. And like, not only that, but like being born and I was born in San Francisco and California and like the United States and all the opportunity that is just so different here and so unique here that is not the same.
Starting point is 01:42:37 It's everywhere pretty much else in the world. And you've been here for a while. You've been here for over 30 years. Like, dude. Yeah. I mean, it's not really about that part, but like it's more about where I started. I'm grateful for sure, of course, but I'm still my 20s. Like, yeah, for you see.
Starting point is 01:42:51 For you, it's like, dude. You're not really though. What haven't you experienced? Yeah. For sure. But no, no, for real. Like, yeah, that, that is my proud of accomplishment. and like my no joke like my goal is to just build as many schools as possible that's dope man
Starting point is 01:43:03 yeah but what are you what are you doing yeah just working on me i build uh universities they have to graduate my school to go to his university yeah yeah that's a much bigger and that's when they start getting charged money my school's free okay you know no no i do for universities yeah yeah for sure so it's like no especially like when your school stops caring about them we take care yeah for sure especially like with the whole like social media being your own boss creating your own lane like universities have really been played up these past few years so so great like it's a great it's a great segue don't fuck yourself dude um do you have any questions for me yes go ahead do you think um with your size girls don't like
Starting point is 01:43:46 you that the fuck up dude no totally unrelated to that question that was asked i'm just asking you like the way you oh do you talk about me now we're talking about me now no i think they love Love it. Okay. Yeah, I think they love it. Okay. Yeah. That's all. What about you? Do you think with your size? Now you're asking me questions? Yeah. Do you think I think that they enjoy the skinny? I think I'm not skinny. Fragile part. I think I think I am so to say the reference. The of the skinnyly fragile guy of what a woman's looking for. Not as protective. I mean, it's not about being protective. Like a little less efficient. I'm very protective. Yeah. I mean of yourself because you have to be because you're fragile. You got to make sure you didn't care. yourself but i'm saying like for taking care of them being that you're a little bit like weaker and like your bones are probably like for me like obviously the girl's gonna like me right i'm gonna marry her in my family then i hire someone like you as security or you come around and you kind of protect us you know so um that's actually not of that idea i know yeah god damn it yeah so i mean yeah okay that's cool right on i appreciate that well subscribe to the

So what's really going on is that we're planning on doing it with, we're trying to figure out like who wants, like we have a couple of bidding for it. Oh, you guys are going to straight to like some sort of network. Yeah, I think so. I don't know, dude. I'm trying to figure it out. Like I'm, I still don't know how to like properly monetize. Like what's the best way of making the most money have a podcast. Well, it's the same thing you're doing just a different format. Yeah. I don't know. It's not going to be the same. Oh, sorry, sorry. Not like putting it like directly on spot. or this or that, two different production companies trying to produce it. Yeah. I mean, you guys do a great job of producing it, but dude, it's tough to produce it. I don't, I'm freaking shooting all day and Nick's like shooting all day and Pearson lives somewhere else.
Starting point is 01:47:59 It's like we don't have somebody to like produce it and actually make us show up and give us topics and whatever. I mean, what do you, I don't remember. So did you guys, you guys don't have like a topic. I just make it up. You just look. You're pretty good at it. Yeah, he's really good at it. But occasionally we'll have like notes there.
Starting point is 01:48:14 Rarely. Because sometimes like on our podcast, I mean, we would just shoot the shit and whatever comes out good, but I felt like there needed to be an A to B. Yeah. You know? I legit just wing it. Yeah, based on what I know about you. Now there are some people that I will, like, okay, maybe I need to spend a little more time and like, try to figure out more about like, you know, their past or whatever.
