Welcome back to The Basement Yard. Today it is just me, by myself, so if you listen to this, these podcasts for the guests, I might want to turn this off, because it's just gonna be me. I don't know if it's gonna be 20 minutes, 30 minutes, or 3 hours with me rambling, but who the hell knows? And also I'm gonna be uploading this entire episode to, like the video version, to the YouTube channel, youtube.com slash The Basement Yard. People have been asking for full episodes this entire time, but no, but no. I'm not gonna do it. I'm gonna do it for this one, because it's easy to edit. The other ones I have to flip back and forth when there's a guest, and to do that over the course of an hour would take forever, and I just don't want to do it, so that's why I just create little highlights and upload them to the channel. So for those of you who comment on every fucking video, hey, upload a full vid! It's not happening, okay? Save your fingers the strength. It's not happening. It is happening with this one, though. I'll upload this full thing, because there's not a lot of editing.

I just gotta line it up, and I'll just, I'll put it up. But anyway, if you're watching this, you can see I'm a little sunburnt, my nose is peeling. I had just a lot of white people problems at the moment, because it was Memorial Day weekend, and every year I go to Connecticut, my friend's summer house, and, you know, UV was high. That's all I'll say. Higher than I expected, okay? And I refuse to wear sunscreen, and one of those people that's just like, I'll be fine! You know, I get sunburnt, and then the next day I'm good. I'm not good. I'm not good. I was wrong. Again. I was wrong again. But that's what happens when you're an asshole. I don't know, I don't know. I actually got sunburnt, and then when I came in the house, I was like, yeah, I'm pretty, I'm pretty banged out. I'm banged out. I'm pretty banged up. So I put SPF 50, which is basically like putting a steel sweater on. Like, the sun's not getting past 50 SPF, whatever the... What is it? SP? FP? What the fuck is it? I gotta look, I gotta look it up now. SPF, that's what it is.

Like, what? Just, just 50. Level 50. What is SPF, HDMI? I don't fucking know these things. I don't know. What does that mean? SPF. I'm googling it. SPF means... Wait, there's no, like, acronym? Whatever, fuck it. Who cares? Oh, sun protection factor. Oh, you know what? That actually makes sense. That's easy. I thought it was gonna be some, like, scientific term. Never mind. Ignore me, I'm a fucking idiot. But anyway, yeah, I'm a little sunburnt. Not so much where you can see. My arms and my face got some color. My nose is a little... I'm rude often right now. But my back is fucked up. Oh, it's so bad. It's really bad. It looks like I just got slapped in the back a thousand times. It's really, it's terrible. It hurts to wear a shirt and it's a problem. And I'm not gonna learn my lesson. I'm gonna do the same thing the next time I'm out in the sun anyway. But anyway, what else happened this weekend? I mean, this was, like, the first time I was, like, drinking for an extended period of time and a long time. So I kind of got drunk a little fast off of beers, which never happens. Like, regular beers. Like, Bud Lights and shit like that. That piss.

I haven't really drank like that in a long time, so I, like, it was just weird to do that. Like, I went to Connecticut and just, like, came back with sunburn and an unbelievable inability to stop farting. I haven't stopped farting since I got back. And I don't know if it's the air in there or it's the beers or it's the combination or, like, what it is, but air's just flying at me. I mean, I don't even know where it's going, because I don't, I'm not that big. I don't know where all this air is being formed. I'm not, like, I don't know. That might be too much information, but I'm just letting, I'm letting you know. I farted twice since we hit, since I hit the record button. And it's only been, like, two minutes, I think. I can't even say hello. Fuckin' five minutes. I'm averaging a fart every two minutes and 30 seconds right now. We'll see where it goes. Also, my sister got married. Shannon got married to her husband. And it was kind of insane, because, like, it's weird. Like, I don't even know if it's, it has hit me yet that my sister is married. I don't even know if that's something that should hit a person, because it has, it's not really affecting me. I didn't, I didn't get fucking married.

Like, nothing for me is different, you know what I mean? But she got married. And it was just crazy to see, because, like, I was obviously a part of the bridal party and I was seeing the process or whatever. Dude, getting married is so, like, hard. There's so much shit. Like, I mean, you know, obviously it's hard, because you gotta convince someone to be like, hey, this, I swear, I'm not a psycho. And, like, my, you know, I'm, I'm kind of good in bed. And, like, you know, you kind of like me. And you gotta convince them to like you forever or whatever. And that's the one part of marriage. I'm talking about all the extra shit. Like, my sister was getting married, got married in a Catholic church. So you have to basically go to, like, a sleepaway camp, where they tell you about how to be in a marriage. Or, like, how to love a person or something. I don't know. I honestly, I'm freestyling this. I don't even know.

But I think it's called, like, pre-cana, or pre-cana, something like that. And you gotta go and, like, fill out these, they give you worksheets that you both have to fill out. I was blown away. I had no idea any of this existed. My sister told me that they went, and it's like a nine-hour thing. You gotta bring lunch. It's like a fuckin' field trip. You gotta get a permission slip signed, and, like, there's worksheets, and, like, they give you information, and then you quiz you on it, and, like, you know what I'm, it's just weird. I didn't know that, that happened. And I don't know what the point of it is. And I know someone who's Catholic is gonna hit me up and, you know, tell me I'm disrespectful, but I'm Catholic, so I mean, I think those are the rules. If I'm Catholic, I can, my voice just cracked. Jesus, here we go. We got one out of the way, alright?

Uh, no, but, I feel like those are the rules. If I'm Catholic, I'm allowed to say that this shit is a little fuckin' weird. And it is. I think it's, like, extremely weird and outdated. It's just, it just doesn't make any sense to me. Like, what is filling out this fuckin' worksheet really gonna do for me? And the questions are like, how do you feel about your body? Who wakes up first in the morning? Like, how many kids do you want to have? And, like, what's the, what, what, what is the worst thing, what is the most annoying thing about your partner? It's, it's like, what are they doing? And I think, like, I, I think I told my sister, I'm like, what is the point of this? Like, actually, what is the point of it? And I believe she told me it's to try and make people realize if they're like good for each other. As if these worksheets, people are gonna fill them out and then look at the answers and go, wait a minute.

You like blue cheese? I can't do this. And then, and like, that's what they're trying to prevent by having this, like, event. It's like, you go in there, you fill out worksheets, and if you guys have different answers and you're like, wait, what? You said, and then, and then maybe the marriage is off. So, I think it's like the last line of defense. You know, they don't want anyone to get divorced. I mean, it clearly is not working divorces through the roof. You know, I don't have the percentages in front of me, nor do I know where to look for that kind of information. But I've heard that once before, so I'm gonna believe it and choose not to research on my own. But yeah, just like, there's so much shit that goes into getting married that I didn't even realize. Like, first of all, like I said, you gotta get to sleep away camp, you gotta fill out your worksheets and get 100 on all your tests.

And then after that, they go, okay, cool. And then there's a rehearsal, which when we went to the rehearsal, the guy who was doing the wedding was really loosey-goosey with the rehearsal. Like, we didn't even, we left there like, I have no fucking idea what to do here. I don't know. Because he was in there and he was going, he would say things like, I might have my hands up, I might, you know, be walking over here. And it's like, dude, we're rehearsing. We're not writing a rough draft, okay? What's going on? What are we doing here? What's the plan, priest? Can we get a plan? Can we get a blueprint here? And he was saying like, on the altar, he's like, yeah, all this stuff won't be here. That won't be here. And then he would say something like, oh, before that, I'm going to bless the whatever. And I'm just going to like, it was just very loosey-goosey. Had no idea what was going on. And at the end of it, we were all, we all thought like, oh, so we're just going to like do a run through now.

He was like, no, we're good. You guys got it? All right, cool. Like, I didn't even, like, and then I'm sitting there in the pew and I'm like listening to this dude, you know, talk about, you know, what the process is and how things are going to go. And like, there's a ring and then like, you guys are in exchange vows and you're going to say this and that. And I just couldn't keep up. And afterwards I was like, Shannon, I hope you were paying attention because I didn't take any notes there. I don't know what's going on. I thought you just walked down the aisle and you kind of just look at this guy and he goes, you sure you're down and you go, yeah. And he goes, all right, sick. And then you guys just walk out, people throw rice at you and get in the car and you go, fuck at a nice hotel. Isn't that what, that's it. Isn't that it? I thought that was it. I didn't know there was always extra stuff. Ring, like there's two rings. How did they convince us to get two rings, by the way? There's an engagement ring and then a wedding ring. Why am I getting two?

Who's wearing two rings on the same finger? People, my sister is, I know she is, but I'm saying why, like, isn't one good, we're good on the one ring, you know? How do they convince us to do that? And like, oh, you got to spend 408 months' pay on the ring, otherwise you're a cheap fuck. Uh, what? Why? I don't get, I really don't, I have no idea why that exists. And I don't know if it's going to continue. Is it? Like, I know girls want rings and I definitely want to buy someone a ring one day and like, whatever, but when I really think about it, I'm like, this is all kind of bullshit. Like, why? The idea of marriage to me is weird. I'm going to get in trouble here. The idea of marriage is weird to me. You know what I mean? Not loving a person and starting a family and doing all that,

but the idea that I have to, like, do all this shit and pay all this money and have a party and then have it in writings and then get rings and exchange them on a fucking altar just so someone can tell me, like, what I already know. Like, I knew I loved this person and I knew I wanted to spend my life with this person. Why the hell did I need to get you involved? You don't even know any of us. You don't even know us too. You don't even know if we're good enough. We could have lied on our worksheets. Why are we doing this? You know what I mean? That's what I mean. You know what I mean? That's what I mean. But I don't know. Is that, am I stupid here? Am I making any sense? Like, I don't know why other people have to be involved in that. Like, no one's stupid. No, everyone knows who they love and who they want to spend their life with. Just do it. Like, why do you have to do all this extra shit so that it's, like, official? It's, like, I don't know.

I guess, like, taxes. Taxes-wise, there's some benefits to that filing separate or filing together is, you know, different. And if that's the case, are we just getting married for taxes? Is this a taxes thing? We're trying to save money by spending all this fucking money on rings and dresses and all kinds of shit. I hope my sister doesn't listen to this. She's gonna be so mad at me. Oh, Jesus. But seriously, why would I spend it all- and some people go above and beyond for their wedding. And don't get me wrong. Love weddings. Keep spending the money. I'm gonna keep showing up because the shit is fun. And I don't mind paying for my plate or whatever. Weddings are great. A lot of fun. But let's just, like, you know, peel it back. I'm not saying let's- down with weddings, I'm not saying that.

I'm saying if you just step all the way back and look at it, you're like, are we getting married or are we just, like, sprinting towards homelessness? Like, we haven't even started our lives yet and we're in the hole here. And we both have student loans. Are we ever gonna not have debts? Can you save us a couple bucks there, priest? Can we change the system a little bit? Can we stop getting rings and maybe just, like, hug it out or something? Make it like an official handshake? Or maybe just sign a contract, get it notarized or something? I don't know. And you need a marriage license? I need a license? What is it? A road test? I gotta fucking- what is this? Oh, shit. Chan, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm just- I'm joking around. I'm, like, half-joking. I'm not half-joking. I'm, like- I'm, like-

I'm, like, 42% joking. Mostly serious, but 42% joking. I'm embellishing. But, you know, I don't know. There's just some things that just don't make sense to me. Like, why? Never mind. I'm not gonna get into that. But before we move on here, let's- let's get to the sponsor. How long have I been recording right now? 16 minutes. Jesus, 16 minutes of me just, like, going off about that. You're really gonna get it together here. Let me find what we're doing here. MVMT Watches was founded on the belief that style shouldn't break the bank. I agree. I agree. By the way, I think three of my friends have used my code for MVMT. My buddy, the other day, I picked him up. He's like, look! And I'm like, what? He's like, look at my watch. I was like, that's the MVMT watch? He's like, yep! Does he use my code? Yeah!

He's like, alright, sick. Anyway, the reason why people are buying them is because they're only $95. So the department store, you're looking at $400, $500. Very expensive. We're talking about saving money on this podcast. You know what I'm saying? Like, you know, can there be a company that pops up that makes $95 engagement and wedding rings and stuff like that? Well, let's move forward from that. I gotta stop. My sister's gonna kill me. At such great prices, MVMT watches make wonderful holiday gifts too. Classic design, quality construction, and styled minimalism. Over one million watches sold in over 160 countries. And they're nice watches, guys.

Like, I have three, I think. I got one from my mom that was like rose gold-y looking. It was really nice and she loves it. And it was actually a funny story. She had no idea how to clip it on. And she's like, look at this. Look how it clips. It just does this and that. And she's like, put it on. I'm like, ma, yeah, that's how fucking watches work, ma. She was blown away. Don't get me started. But I also have one that's, if you look on the site, it's called Gunmetal. It's like black. Wow, my voice. That's number two. Black and gray. And it's super dope.

Free shipping, free returns, and 15% off. Pretty sweet deal. That is number three. And I can't stop cracking this voice. I don't know why it happens. When I just talk a lot, eventually it starts to crack and I don't know what that means. I have no idea. I really don't. And everyone's like, oh, you're going for puberty? Clearly not. You know I'm not.

And you've said that joke a thousand times, but I don't know why it is. I'm going to look it up. I got my tab open that says SPF. I'm looking up, why do voices crack? Anatomical changes. Most of the voice change begins around puberty. It causes the voice to drop and deepen along with the larynx and the vocal cords. All right, but what? Why is it cracking? Oh, how do I stop my voice from cracking? Warm beverages? All right, this is dumb. I'm going to just live with it. I'm just going to live with it.

My voice cracks and I can't do anything about it, okay? That's it. Anyway, what else should we talk about? I have Lil Tay exposed here. Oh, let's talk about Lil Tay. Me and Danny have talked about her before and just to reiterate, again, this is like a nine-year-old girl who has an Instagram account where she like fake flexes, for lack of a better word, with like money like, oh, I have all this money. I bought this car for a million dollars. Y'all like never bought a car that expensive. Shit like that. But I wanted to talk about her again because there's this stuff that came out that like, oh, Lil Tay exposed.

And there was these behind-the-scenes videos that popped up on the internet. And obviously it's all an act, right? And people are suddenly, for some reason, shocked by this. Where it's just videos of her being like, wait, what do I say? And her brother's like feeding her lines. And he's like, you got to be more ignorant and say like, y'all ain't never seen this kind of money. Like, it's just, it's a really weird thing. But videos like that popped up and people are like, oh my, Lil Tay is a fake, exposed.

She's not actually rich. Uh, yeah, uh, yeah, duh. We know, like, are you shocked by? I'm honestly concerned for the people that are like, whoa, what? Like, dude, she's fucking nine. What do you think? Jesus, it's just like, it's so weird. But anyway, that's not even like the main reason why I wanted to talk about it. I don't know how that was fucking weird, but I wanted to talk about in general kids with social media

and just kind of how sad that was. Because like, I was, it made me sad to see it, to be honest with you. Because she's sitting there and she's, dude, she's nine, dude, she's nine. She's sitting there like, you fucking whatever, haven't seen this kind of money and blah, blah, blah. And like, that's not her. Because as soon as she's done saying her line, she stops and she looks at like her brother and her brother's like, okay, now like whatever, and she like completely changes her demeanor. And maybe she's just like a nice little fucking girl who doesn't want to do this shit.

But now it's like been so popular in her, you know, she just wants to make her mom proud. I actually saw a video of her saying that. I just want to make my mom proud and whatever. And like, fuck yo, that's so sad. Why the fuck is your mom and your brother horring you out like that, tiny Tay? It's fucked up. But then it just made me like really, really realize and step back and look at Instagram and go like, yo, these people will do anything for attention.

And I don't think it's for money either. I think it's more for attention than it is the money. Like I think if you offered someone $10 million to step away from Instagram, never use it again. They wouldn't take it. Maybe 10s a little high. But I was just saying like, you know, but like a crazy amount of money to be like, yo, I'm never touch it. Don't touch Instagram ever again.

They wouldn't do it because they're obsessed with the attention that that that is Instagram. You know what I mean? Like they will do anything for it. That's why these are these random accounts that are like these people running into a McDonald's and like stealing shit and being like, yo, fuck the world and like running out. And you're like, what the hell was that? And it goes viral or people squeezing lemons into their eyes. And it's like, what are we, what are we doing?

What are you guys doing? It's the attempt like, yo, I know this will go viral. I hate that word so much. Like you think this will go viral? Like I don't give a shit if it goes viral or not. How's that? I don't give a fuck. If you are trying to go viral, that means you just like literally don't care what it takes.

Like I'll do whatever. I will step out of my character to go viral. Like this will go viral. I'm going to do it because it's going to go viral. I'm going to eat a fucking cockroach. Dude, don't, don't do that. That's fucking gross. Like maybe don't eat a fucking cockroach or something.

And I don't know, for me, I started piecing it together because I don't know if it's because, you know, Twitter and social media like exists now, but I see way more that kids are sort of like depressed. And could those two things be linked? I'm not going to sit here and say that is the reason, but I just want to pose the question of, you know, I think it could be possible that the fact that now everyone is so obsessed with attention and they put so much value in things like Instagram and likes and like that number. Like how many likes did your picture get? Or how many followers do you have?

Or how many views did that video get? And like shit like that. If you put so much value into that, if you don't get it, does that make you feel less? Or does that make you feel, you know, not cool or you don't fit in or like you're doing something wrong or something like that? Because I don't know. I think you can link the two because it is, you know, social media is so predominant now, especially with the younger kids.

Like I didn't grow up with it. So, you know, a bunch of my friends are like, they don't post on Instagram. They don't have Snapchat or, you know, they don't use Twitter. Like they barely use social media. So like we didn't grow up with it. But like the kids now, like you guys grew up with it. And from day one, you had a phone and you had nine different social media accounts and it's just been content, content, content for like your whole life.

And like without realizing it, you've been just obsessed with it. And I think, like I said, when you put so much value in the amount of attention that everything gets, it's like, oh, if I do this and this gets attention, then that means I, it was important. Am I making sense? Like just because something you do or you post doesn't get a lot of likes, doesn't mean you're not as cool as someone or that it wasn't important or that it was wrong, obviously. It's just, I don't know, am I making sense? Like I'm just like, I'm looking at these accounts of young kids who do crazy shit just for attention.

And I'm like, what happens when that stops working? Like how is that person going to react? Because everything is for attention because what these, what these accounts do is like, they'll do these like crazy stunts, like they'll yell at people, they'll stage fights, they'll like run into the street and like almost get hit by a car and shit. And it's all for attention and like their Instagram account to like blow up or whatever. And then once they start making money from that, they start to realize like, oh, if I give money back, like I'm going to go buy 20 burgers for homeless people.

When I do that, it's a good look for me because that'll help me grow my Instagram even more. And I'll get more attention from people being like, yo, you're a good guy or like, you know, whatever. And it's just like, it all comes back to that. And like, which is fine because to a certain extent I'm like that everyone who does any form of entertainment is self-centered in some way. But when a kid gets that kind of attention from shit like that, I feel like that could shift their mentality, like that could mold their mentality into something that could be sort of harmful. In a way that if it stops, you can become depressed. Or if something happens to your account or, you know, if someone says something mean on your picture,

like that'll make you depressed as well. Because from what I've found, a lot of people that do what I do are very self-conscious and very like they just have low self-esteem. Like there could be a video they put out that has 2 million views. All the comments are good. And then there's literally two comments that are like, oh my God, like this was terrible. Or like, oh, this guy's a fucking loser and they'll be so affected by it. And now imagine, and like that's an adult. And then imagine that's happening to like a kid.

So if it's an, if it affects an adult that, you know, has been through shit like whatever it can, whatever, and you have that happen to a kid, like that has to have like a crazy effect on them. Because especially because it's way more important to them. You see what I'm saying? I'm trying to link. All I'm saying is like, oh, I just see so many kids that are so sad and like depressed and like just, just trying, like relatable content does so well on the internet. And it's like, why?

And it's because I'm just looking for someone who's like me. Like make, like tell me that I'm not crazy. Like let me relate to something. You know what I mean? I think that's why relatable content does so well. And like these are these accounts that say the most vague shit like love never dies. And everyone's like, yo, that's fucking crazy. That's so true.

And it's just like, are people just grabbing onto things because they want to be part of something so bad? And is it because we use social media so much that there's an emotional disconnect with people? You have an internet connection, a Wi-Fi connection with people, but there's not an emotional one. And you have to fill that void. You try to fill it with likes and stuff. Do you understand what I'm saying? Is this a reach? It might be a reach, but I mean, I don't know.

I think it has to be related in some regard. Because like if you didn't have like a ton of friends, I could see how that would be appealing to you. Like to know that, okay, at least someone thinks the way I do. And that's why those accounts get retweeted and like, you know, I don't know. Just makes you feel less crazy to know that other people have the same thought as you. Is this getting too like fucking weird? Because I'm saying a lot. I'm saying a lot right now and I just don't know if it makes sense.

I'm really just like rambling at this point. I don't know how long we've been recording, but I don't know. It just it just makes me not, I'm not worried or scared or whatever. I'm just saying it might be those things might be linked where, you know, I don't know. If there's anything to take away from this episode, I think it would just be like, you know, don't put so much. Don't put in that much importance on social media because at the end of the day, it is fake. It's fake. My Instagram is fake.

My Twitter is fake. Like all those things that you only see what I want you to see and why I want you to see the best parts or the funniest parts or whatever. And it's just not, you know, how everything works. Like there's, you know, whatever. And I think that's part of the reason why I haven't been posting and stuff as much is because I'm like finding out that I when I was started doing YouTube and doing all this stuff, I put so much importance on it. And I would, I would, I would do, I would do not do anything for anything to go. I don't know what I'm trying to say. I just cared about it so much that I feel like I put it over my actual life.

Like I would rather be on my phone than when I would like I'd be on my phone at a bar or I'd be on my phone checking how many views of video God or I'd be making sure. Sure. You know, I was tweeting enough or something like that or posting on Instagram and it's like now I'm just like, yo, what am I doing? Like, of course I want to entertain and I want the people who follow me to look forward to shit that I'm posting and whatnot, but I also don't want to be just like run by that. I don't want to just be completely controlled by it. Because otherwise, like, I know it's only going to get worse. There's only going to be more cooler shit that comes out in the future. And I don't know, I just feel like it's good sometimes to just take like a, not a, not a break, but just to like kind of cleanse a little bit.

This just sounds like a really fancy excuse for not posting, but I really do feel this way. Like there's times where I'm sitting on my couch and I'm like, I really don't feel like making anything right now. Like I just don't want to. And people will chalk that up as laziness, but it's really not because everything I do in some fashion is creative and you have to create it from nothing. And just thinking about all of that is exhausting. Like using your head all day trying to come up with things is exhausting. Even for the fucking podcast and we're just like bullshitting here, but even doing that is exhausting after a while. And when you've been doing it for like six or seven years, like I have, eventually you hit a wall where you're like, what the fuck do I talk about now?

And especially now where I'm older and I'm like, I really don't want to put out anything shitty. And I don't want to, I don't want it to be quantity over quality. And I don't want to do anything I don't want to do. Like putting out a video every single week is like tough, especially because I'm doing other things. And even if I wasn't doing other things, it's still hard. Like still putting out a video every week is hard. On top of everything else that I'm doing, it's extremely difficult. But yeah, I was just noticing that like when you put so much importance on that over your real life, it's like it affects you.

And that's the only thing you care about. And it's like you lose sight of the things like that you have or like whatever. Because especially with something like YouTube, it's like, oh, one video could do well. And if the next video doesn't do well, it's like, oh, fuck. And then you're all bent out of shape and like whatever. And I'm just imagining that happening for kids and like you add like mean comments and shit like that on top of each other. And like everything's about flexing and like you have no money as a kid and like you can't have nice shit. Or maybe, you know, some rich kid in school is, I don't know.

I don't know what I'm saying. No, it's just now I'm just like, I'm losing it, but I don't know. I kind of just all think it's a little related. Like I don't think it's a mistake that, you know, there's way more sad kids. There's more reasons to be sad. Like when I was growing up, I didn't know when people were saying mean stuff to me because I didn't have Twitter. Like unless you said it to me, I wouldn't know. I wouldn't know.

But now you know because people are tweeting you or, you know, people are like indirectly sub tweeting you or some shit. And that makes you sad. And like I couldn't really compare myself to other people like, oh my God, like, I don't know. I'm just rambling at this point. Am I crazy? I don't know. The kids are sad. Social media makes you sad after a while, man.

Don't get caught up in that shit. You think you're just retweeting some relatable stuff. But I think there's a little, it's a little deeper than that, honestly. I think it's a little deeper than that. Pay attention to what you're retweeting and you're tweeting. Especially if you're not in entertainment. It's like, what are you really tweeting for? When you really think about it.

I can't be wrong here because at least if you're an entertainer or you're like trying to be an entertainer. There's a reason for posting things. You want to be entertaining. You want to entertain. But if you don't want to do those things and you want to just be a teacher or you want to be an engineer or a doctor. What are you posting for? I think it's like attention and stuff, which is totally fine because everyone wants attention. But the difference is when you put so much importance into that.

Then you start doing shit that you don't normally do and you step outside of your character. That's what you don't want. And that's what I think these kids are doing. I think clearly that's what a lot of these kids on Instagram are doing. It's like, you meet them in person. They're a completely normal kid. And then when you see their Instagram videos, you're like, who the fuck is this person throwing donuts at old people? Like, what is this?

Do it for the grant. I don't know. I don't know if that made fucking sense. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. I'm losing my mind here. Anyway, I have to go. I'm going to be live streaming on Twitch. Right now, actually, I'm putting this thing out.

My Twitch account is twitch.tv slash JoeSanagato. But yeah, I fucking love doing Twitch, by the way. It's a lot of fun. You should play video games with your friends. Some people are in the chat just talking, asking questions. And we just kind of hang out for two hours. I haven't had a drink on Twitch either. I might do that tonight.

Who knows? I'll figure it out. Anyway, that is all for this week's episode. Thanks for listening to me ramble. No idea if it made sense, but... Thanks for listening, ya motherfuckers!
