You really are about to become, you're just going to become the viral sensation of the
I mean, if what I heard before this flycast started happens, I see big things for you.
You have to do some of these with me though.
Do you want to talk about?
What if we did like, I did a podcast in space and we do an episode, we shoot an episode of the flight.
We need to.
What would be good is if we did a video.
of like you know how people there's a simulator of uh what it's like to be in space or like in a
NASA yeah and like you're like floating around the the plane right the plane that goes up top and
dive bombs and so you're literally zero gravity uh imagine we did a podcast in that is there there's
a plane that does or like there's like a what like a ride or something no it's not a ride it's
it's an airplane you get in an airplane and it goes up like people do
that for fun. Completely padded airplane. Yeah.
It costs a lot of money. Don't they have like simulations
for that dude? Like an all padded room
that's like a NASA
on the moon replica.
That's what I'm talking. But do you
have to go down? I thought there would just be like a
room that you can be in. That you just press
zero gravity button. Yeah. No.
That doesn't exist. They haven't figured this
how yet. Just break physics with one
button. So the only way of
doing it would literally
be sky or nose diving in a plane.
plane that goes up and to the highest point you can take an airplane Matt we got to yell at them again
why because we were mid-convo I heard page's voice I got distracted started thinking really bad
thoughts damn pick pick do you think uh maybe you guys could like just have a conversation like
you know find a better look this is this is a boring place to have a conversation don't you think
it's cold it's cold it's dark there's like offices and stuff right we need a set
Nosed diving.
Yeah, so there's a plane that goes up.
You get in the plane and then it just turns and nose dives.
I swear there was a fucking gravity room.
Matt,
is there this thing as a anti-gravity room?
Where's our producer, Jamie?
Matt said no.
Matt said no and he knows all things.
I swear there was.
So the only,
but how many,
it'd be like a two-minute podcast.
Yeah.
So that idea is not going to work.
It is going to work.
We did a podcast in space.
We go.
No,
I think you've dive,
for like 30 minutes.
Maybe 15.
How? Maybe 15 minutes.
It's something crazy.
Like you go up.
I feel like that would feel not.
Because when I'm like imagining floating around, I imagine being, hey, look, they
picked that spot over there.
They were literally sitting right on the camera and then they picked this, just pick
the spot five feet away.
So now we got another combo.
Oh, fuck, what was I saying?
Nose-dive room.
You feel like it would, you feel like there's a room.
Oh, I feel like it wouldn't be, because, you know, when you see them, they're floating around.
Right.
It looks comfy.
You know, it looks.
But when I'm picturing nose diving into it.
Yeah, no, I don't know how it works.
I don't know the physics behind it.
But, like, I've only ever, I know of two people that have done it.
One was Logan Paul with all the Polaroids and the other was Kate Upton with.
Her tits?
why did you boss
I thought that was
like slow-mo dits in
space
yeah
I mean you're not
what
Kate Upton's the model right
yeah no I mean you
wait is that the overrated model
Overrated
No
All right
well I'm gonna pretend like I'm talking to my chat real quick
Okay chat is
Am I crazy for thinking
Kate Huffthin's overrated
yes
no but and that's where that list ends
she's pretty if you're if you're
I mean I guess if you're just like
I think I'm too much of a butt guy
she could have
but also you just don't like you just don't like
you don't like white girls
then she's white and she's white
which doesn't help
but she I remember
I think it was like in like high school or something
people would talk about her she was like really famous
I don't damn how old is she now
she's probably like 40 something
I don't know.
She's,
she's getting up there.
But I just remember people hyping up.
Let's get Bose's opinion.
Do you know who Kate Upton is?
The model?
Do you think she's bad like that?
Oh.
He said she's overrated.
I said she's the most overrated.
She's yeah.
Imagine if you're Kate Upton and you like somehow see this clip on like TikTok
and it's and it's and it's just and it's just me.
talking about how Kate Upton's over it.
But I just remember her being so hyped up
in like high school or something
and me just seeing her and be like
In high school you were like that?
Bro, in high school I thought she was like the godsend.
I thought she was everything in high school.
No.
But then like...
I've always been like that.
Then I thought like what was her name?
Emily Radicalski?
I had like a huge crush on her.
See, I have crushes on like Caroochies.
Yeah, you have some but like tiny
and petite with like a little
bit of a bubble bullet.
That's my type.
See people like
Kate Upton, it's just, I don't know.
Maybe I'm alone on this one.
But she's been so hyped up.
We went from zero gravity to ass real quick.
Didn't Drake make a song about that?
Zero gravity to ask.
Zero gravity to ask real, real quick.
Real fucking quick.
Yeah, yeah.
That was the song.
Any other viral vids you got?
What about the way?
What videos?
would you want to, if you could convince people in Optic to actually do a video with you.
Do you have any?
Because like, wouldn't it be, it's great to imagine.
So basically what, if I got, we started talking before we were filming and we just kind
of transitioned into it without doing an intro.
But I just, you know, I've been talking about on the flycast for a long time about wanting
to switch up my content.
I just, but I didn't want to switch up my content without doing, like, I just didn't want to
upload a video on my channel that was like the first, the first video coming out.
me buying like a bunch of weird shit on fiber and like I didn't want to just upload that and
people would be like what the hell like what happened give them some contacts of what's going on
with your channel so I was just like let me throw like let me figure out one more vlog and and do that
vlog and bro that vlog was so hard to film it is because it's been so long like carrying your
camera around everywhere I totally forgot what that felt like like some stuff came back naturally
like people always thought I was crazy because I take my gorilla pod and my 2000
dollar camera setup and I put my gorilla pod around my neck and wrap it.
Do you know what I used to do that?
And it came back naturally.
I just did that and I was like, what the hell?
But just like, I'm just like, damn, I'm kind of late to the venue.
I'm in Boston.
It's seven degrees outside and I'm going to leave and I'm like, fuck my camera.
Like I have to.
Yeah.
And so like.
And like even then you're like thinking of the shots that maybe like you want to get to the venue.
Like vlogging was always, I genuinely loved it.
I loved clicking upload, but the most fun part to me was editing.
Like, I loved editing the vlog.
But carrying the camera around was just like, damn.
It becomes your, it's like you're not living in your days.
Yeah.
It's your day is, I can't even imagine with like Casey Nice that.
Dude, I've been watching.
Because your days are the vlog.
Everything you're doing is about kind of, kind of, kind of.
I just watched a, uh, I just watched a, uh,
interview with Casey.
Hector's favorite podcast.
Hector's favorite podcast, flycast.
I just watched an interview with Casey.
Have you ever heard of,
you know who Rich Roll is?
Yes.
He interviewed Casey and basically goes into depth
about his documentary and like what it was like
to film for those 800 days.
And bro, I can't imagine like it was probably
an amazing time in his life,
but I bet you it was like borderline traumatic.
Like literally, he was like, he was like, I would have, I would get meetings with people that I thought were my biggest inspirations.
And even in the meeting with them, I'd be like, I'm wasting time.
I'm wasting daylight.
Damn.
What am I going to upload tomorrow?
Like, imagine you are on a grind.
You're 600 days in.
And then Drake's like, yo, you want to come smoke, but you can't film it.
What do you?
It's going to be four hours.
Yeah.
You're hanging out with your favorite artist of all time.
You can't film anything.
So then, now you.
have six hours and then you're in if you're in his if you're in his shoes you also have a wife
and a child that's what i can't that's what the that's what i can't even imagine like his wife was
probably so stoked that oh when he was done yeah because that type of i i like yeah i got to watch
that podcast because that's really it's so interesting to hear how how he looked at it
because that was his life.
And I wonder if he,
because every single vlog he felt pretty,
it looked like he felt really good.
Like he's getting his runs in.
I can't also running.
Bro, he was,
dude.
What was he was,
was he running with this fucking camera?
Bro, if you go watch those,
so he would run and then he would show his like Fitbit app,
dog,
he would run like seven miles at a 530 pace.
Like if you go look at the screenshots.
And it's just like,
but is he caring?
And he was 36, 35, something like that.
What camera is he carrying around with him?
No, I think he would go for his run.
And then he would get his camera and then go back out and shoot B-roll.
As if he had run.
100%.
It's not like he, what is he running with DSLR?
Like he's not running a 530.
I've been wondering how, because I've even, like, I've thought about it.
Like, if I start or when I start doing this shit and it's like how, you know,
I started thinking about like the clips and how the videos are going to go.
And I'm thinking about like I do want to start like we've talked about.
I've been I've started running then I do enjoy it.
Now I feel like I have to I'm on I'm on like some momentum to where like I feel like my day's not going to be as good if I don't run.
Really?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I'm just wondering how these I didn't know.
I didn't even think about the fact that Casey Nice Sats go go Casey Nyset goes and runs.
Then goes gets his camera.
Bro.
That's so much like dedication.
If you watch any vlog, any, or even any video that's out nowadays.
He was never out of breath.
Like, the shots that are golden shots are stagnant shots.
So like the shots that we all got eventually because we got complacent is we would just, if we wanted a B-roll, we would just do this.
Yeah.
But he and like a lot of these like other YouTubers that like, like, I know.
I know Jesse, Jesse did it a lot and like Ryan Trajan does it a lot where it's like,
you put the, you put the camera down, it's stagnant, you walk back and then you walk to the
camera and then you have to come back, like say you cross the street, and you have to come
back and get the camera, that shot is infinitely better than if you just did one of these.
If you're just like, oh, I want to be roll, I'm going to be roll this car real quick.
It's still, and even in the, even in the last vlog that I just uploaded today, like,
there are some shots where I'm going down Boston
like I'm in Boston and I just do that
and I'm just like see if I wanted it
I would walk up there
tie my thing
tie my uh you know
my gorilla pod to like a
you know a bench or something and then I would walk
did you feel like that's like that it takes that effort
and it doesn't sound like a lot
but doing that all the time
instead of just instead of taking a five minute
walk and seven degree
in seven degree weather now it's a 20 minute walk
Because you have to get like six,
six other shots.
I almost,
I almost feel like it became not corny.
Because it's not corny.
It's cool.
It looks better.
It just makes the video better.
But it's like,
you know,
like in the beginning of vlogs,
it's like,
it's almost like,
especially as a watcher,
it's like that didn't really enter your mind
to where it's like they're putting down the camera.
Oh,
then they're going to watch it.
But like now when I see that,
it's like that's all I think about.
See,
sometimes it's like that.
Did you feel weird recording again?
like doing that type of stuff.
I didn't even
the entire last vlog that I did
I never recorded in public.
I only recorded in back rooms
or like in by myself
in hotel.
I feel like I would feel weird
because they're used to
I don't know
I tell my stream this all the time
it's like Chad like I fucked up
like there really was such a big opportunity
for me.
I mean there still is of course
but it's like
there really was like a big opportunity in its opportunity back in like this uh 60 50
this cuff house yeah with vlogging it we didn't even I would go in Target film all the time
we didn't do anything we didn't do anything we didn't have to it was it makes it a fucking
sit but also it's like did we did we really not do it I mean we did live in a house see that see back
then but I think we would make sure we like go to target or something but it's we would have to do
something yeah but back then
we did videos because people wanted to see us.
They wanted to see what it's like.
And it was really cool.
To live in a house.
Yeah.
But nowadays, I watched, I'm sorry, I keep bringing up podcast, but I watched Cody Coe and
and Noel Miller on Colin and Samir's podcast.
And they were just like, like, they've been doing YouTube for 10 years.
And he was, and one of them was like, and nowadays, like, a guy will be on his fourth video ever.
And he's like, I just went.
to every Guy Fieri restaurant in the world.
Yeah.
And then it's a four,
it's a five minute video about his,
like a voiceover vlog style video,
but he went to,
he went to a hundred restaurants.
And then he's a story,
he storyboards the whole thing.
And it's just because so many more people want it now.
Like we got in and people thought we were interesting.
And so they just watched us go to Target.
And those videos would get 80K views.
Yeah.
But nowadays,
like,
it's not,
I would,
I don't like viewing YouTube as competition
because you're not,
I don't like competing against another YouTuber.
You are competing against the view of,
it's almost like there,
you think there's enough views to go around.
Yeah.
It's like there's,
there's really not.
Dog,
if you,
see that what,
what I'm starting to realize is like if you,
if you go to your recommended page
and you scroll,
which videos are you actually clicking on?
Yeah.
One.
They give you 20 options.
and all 20 options probably took
dog my it's gotten to a point where my
YouTube like recommended is
insane it's like I spent 24 hours
in Iceland under the rocks
and I'm just like nah
that video is probably
boring
and it's like somebody dedicated months
and months to that video so it's like
dude you weren't even living in fire
you weren't even in the ice caves
boring and here we were in
2016 just like shaky cam oh guess where we're going to the pair of thieves section in target
yeah shaky cam average editing here's a b-roll shot of my Starbucks in the jeep and it's just like
the ice shaking like you know Bose isn't sitting there like a mad genius editing and shit like
just the like most simple just literally just cuts it's not like any sort of spectacular editing
I was wondering like is
I think
maybe it's like the music industry
but it's like there's plenty of
views in
like listeners and stuff to go around
but it's like I don't know
like something's sort of
changing to where
there's really not because the
quality has
the quality has just come up
so much
that there's really
there's really just not
people are
spoiled. It's like even use easy even with like the apps they use there's so many good apps that
it's like your app has to like be working perfect. It has to bang. You can't just I don't know,
you just can't upload average averageness anymore. And I think that's the reason why I will
feel awkward if I did vlog again and like record. I would just feel like I'm not this. I'm not this
interesting. I'm not
him. Like I'd be thinking like I'm
not him. Like unless
you are that
like we weirdly enough I think
we walked past like a vlogger or something.
Oh yeah. You saw like
DSLR? Yeah. Someone had
the SLR just walking
past this while we were walking into the office
here. And I was wondering like
does he like is he
a vlogger of Dallas or it's like
but he wasn't saying anything to the camera.
He was just like holding it. But I was
just like picturing what his content would be like and what i don't know i just don't think i'm
i would feel awkward recording now especially you said you didn't record in public yeah i feel
like i would be the same way because i would just i don't know i just wouldn't feel like him with
the camera anymore what i what i've kind of like started to to realize is uh like the i feel like
the not to get like too analytical but i feel like the generation before us when they got money when they
got paid, it all went into themselves. And it kind of like sucked fun out of things. So it's
like, maybe it's just my scenario, but like when my dad, my dad, when he, he went to college,
he got out of college. He started working. Whenever he made money, he put it into getting a better
house, you know, a better, you know, good clothes for me and a good, like, good shelter. And then, you know,
if he had any spending money, that spending money would go to vacations. And we would go to. We would go
to the beach.
And that,
that's like what the,
it seems like that's what the generation before us,
like did with their money.
And now it seems like our generation is like,
there's money and like,
we can spend it on fun shit.
It seems like we're a generation of like children that never,
or like,
we figured out that like you can be childlike and you can have fun.
No matter what you do,
you don't have,
like this adult aspect of life,
doesn't always have to be what you fall into.
Like if you look at the biggest like YouTubers like Mark Rober is like a huge, like a huge, like one of the biggest YouTubers in the world.
And he's like an engineer.
Like one of the smartest things you could possibly be possibly be like worked at Apple and like knows fucking science.
Shit.
Whatever engineering is.
But like everything math.
He makes YouTube videos.
and he's a genius
and he's working with people in NASA
in his last video is like
how do I make an egg fall from space and not break?
That's something that you would do when you're 13.
You know what I mean?
Like it's fun and you're just like,
oh my God,
like I can have fun with it
and he's got all the money in the world to do it.
But I feel like back in the day,
like if you have,
maybe I'm projecting like my childhood.
But I just feel like people are growing up
and realizing.
that like you can just have fun.
I think that's everyone's like my,
my mom talking to her,
she was like,
she told me like when she was young,
like she had fun,
she used to party and blah blah,
and then,
but she was like,
but at like 25,
it just,
like she went into that adult mode.
Right.
She was basically,
I guess like sort of on a bad path,
like partying and doing whatever the fuck
they did in the 70s.
drugs and shit, I'm sure.
Probably tripping on acid at concerts, smoking weed.
Momniac.
Momniac.
I don't know.
It's crazy for me thinking about that because when I grew up, she maybe smoked cigarettes for a little bit, but other than that, I never saw her like drunk.
Like I would see her maybe sip wine and stuff.
But she told me like when she hit like 25, she was basically locked in to work.
Yeah.
And then by like 30, she's having kids.
and then once the kids come,
it's just,
it literally turned into
just being sort of strict and working
and taking care of your kids.
And it's that adult life that.
And that was,
she started that at like 25.
Think of the 25 year olds we know.
Think about us at 25.
Yeah.
Like not knowing,
us at 25.
Barely knowing how to like use a dish or,
I taught Seth how to wash or dryer.
I taught Seth how to wash or.
wash his clothes at 25. Yeah. Like it's a whole I wonder if there was any kind of
it's generate or not generation but like people like that in that generation. People that
just had fun and stuff. No well yeah people that sort of had fun but like people that didn't
know how to wash and dry their clothes and people that didn't know how to cook. Yeah so it would have
I feel like ate out every day or I feel like maybe it's just so much easier to be like a rock star nowadays.
Like you don't have to be a rock star
You don't have to...
You can do whatever you want.
You don't have to be on the red hot chili peppers
in order to live that sort of lifestyle.
You can be a huge podcaster.
You can be a huge...
There's TikTokers out there
that you've never even heard of
that are getting gazillions of views
and they're getting paid 100K a month.
And what are you going to do with 100K a month at 22?
Like not a lot of people...
Like a lot of people do invest it,
but like also,
going to do fun shit because people want to live.
I think if if the content that's coming out now came out in the 90s, people would be like,
look at this guy wasting his life.
Yeah.
What is this?
This is an engineer.
He's dropping an egg.
Like that's not what like like like figure shit out.
Get your family right.
It was probably down frowned upon back then.
100% or sure.
And now we see those people living that life and that's what we want to be like we see
their highlights on the Instagrams and stuff.
And we it makes us feel worse.
It feels like the generation before us, like that like when they got out of that like fun like mindset that like childlike mindset, like they were just like that's, I'm out of that.
And anyone who's still in that is a child and is immature.
And I have to focus on this, which I don't, again, I'm not married.
I don't have a child.
So I don't know what that is like.
But like this new generation, how many married?
with children, people, do you see
that end up making it
on YouTube or end up making it on
any, like,
like content in general.
I mean, Doc has,
Doc had a kid before he made it.
The Hex had a kid before he made it.
Like Casey.
The two biggest kids.
Casey Nicestad.
Yeah. And Doc dresses up in a wig every day.
It's like,
it's, I don't know.
I just think,
I think we're in a pretty cool
way to,
like a pretty cool generation where you
just like live out your dream you don't have to worry about like what other people think about it
or they even want to watch it yeah like is planet earth at a good spot right now as far as i don't know
about planet earth you can the united states of america and the way you you i mean even you can
literally do anything you want to do like what would you do if you why is it that we don't there's ah fuck how
am I going to explain that this is like some matrix shit there really is a matrix
over our eyes that we don't necessarily see and it's something with like a we have to achieve a
goal every day or that's how our brains produce a certain feeling to make us feel content
so it's like we find some we it's like a routine maybe a root maybe a maybe
routines are just a human, it's just a part of like human biology.
But I, there's so much free will that like people don't use and we're caught up in like the daily sort of grind of like I wake up, I work out, then I come streamed.
Then maybe or if I have to do content, whatever.
But it's like I could just.
leave, go to Thailand,
do ecstasy
and chill for
a month.
Like I could do that.
If you have the means to do it, you can.
And then why not just do that?
Then,
or I could just like go into the woods randomly
and build a little hut.
Take all my cash.
All $300.
I go to the hut.
I build a cabin and I can just live there.
I can just like go hunt shit.
You can do all this.
Like there's so many.
I'm struggling, but I don't really know my point of this,
but there's like just so much free will that people could fucking do.
And I feel like we're slowly maybe getting to that point to where people are kind of sort of doing what the fuck they want to do.
I started watching a guy yesterday on on YouTube
His name's like camping Steve
Something like that
And he does this thing called stealth camping
Dog people are
I guess you have to be able to make a living off of
But yeah like people are even creating doing what the fuck they want to do
And now they're starting to like record it
Yeah
And it's like I saw it
And so he camps in obvious places without people knowing he's there
Like that's the whole reason to stealth camp
So at one point
he lives in Canada
there's a roundabout
and in the middle of a roundabout
it's like a shrubbery
like it's a pretty big roundabout
and he climbs in the shrubbery
and he just camps
this is what I'm talking about
and I watched one of the
this is what I meant like you can
and I watched I watched a
or I saw a comment and was just like
you can do that
how many of us as children thought
that would be a cool place to like
camp or play
something's happening
hang out and it's like
now I'm watching a 40
year old dude do it on the internet and I'm just like oh that's really fucking you can do that you can do
you can and how many people how many people are watching his video and it's like damn like what I thought
like oh that's not you can't do that like as a kid I'm like oh I want to camp in the in the woods
behind American Airlines I mean as a kid you might I think we forget as a kid what our brains
thought of that I think I think that I think you just hit the nail in the head we forget like how big
Like our imagination was as children.
I.
And now like,
fuck,
I miss the kid brain.
Now that like we can like tap into that.
We got matrix five.
Matrixified.
You can actually like indulge in the fact that your mind doesn't,
you don't have to robot.
No,
you don't have to make your mind so robotic.
Like you can explore shit and do shit.
Like if like if you watch like a yes theory video like they'll figure something out that like
most people would only read in textbooks three years or,
like 20 years ago
and they'd be like man that's pretty cool
but they go fucking do it
like if you see a statue of
I'm trying to think I guess theory
I definitely know who they are
did they like
is it like a white tall
blondeish dude
and like a lighter skin
yeah and they just like do
they just like do thing
they'll like go
yeah they'll like throw a dart at the map
and then go there yeah yeah yeah
and like do shit yeah
like I just yeah
I just think I think they're like
I think we're in a
point in life
or a point in at least in American society
where like you see something and like
that is obtainable
like if you see a cabin
on an island and you're like
oh that's a funny picture
you can actually figure out how the fuck to go there
you know what I mean like it might cost some money
and you have to work your way up to that but
it's not like super far
You don't have to call hotlines and and like and travel information like you know what I mean like travel agencies and figure out how to get certain places in order to do this like it doesn't seem that far fetched
you can just figure out how to do things and just go do them.
What is it as long as you have the money for it.
Yeah.
I guess the fucking money and shit that is the annoying part.
But like also it's it's controversial.
but like
money a lot of the times
I wonder how much
the world lives without
sort of money
like they trade and
I'm sure there's some places
but in order
if you want to do something
and you're like I'll never be able to do that
I'll never be able to afford it
like it might be true
but a lot of the times
that might be an excuse
like don't let the fact
don't let
like
like don't let the fact that like
if you think you want to do something
and like money is is not
like not available to is I'm trying to figure out
what I'm what I'm trying to say without like
without downplaying the importance of
of money in a lot of people's lives because a lot of people don't
I mean I I lived in a point where I didn't have any
fucking money but I also didn't have a kid I didn't have
I didn't have mortgage I didn't have a wife all this stuff
so I'm trying to be like
I'm trying to like think about that too
but there are things where it's like
if you want it bad enough
you can fucking figure out a way to do it
you really can't as long I mean if you're if you're here
people people fall into a cycle of working
and then they're too tired to like
figure it out like
you have 24 hours in the day
so you wake up go to work bang
say that's eight to 10 hours every day
as far as like shower and getting ready
eating working coming home
that's only 10 hours of the day
if you really really wanted to
you can
and like I always
kind of bring up
you can figure it out
and I kind of bring up that fact
because it's like
even though it was just gaming
like I did the whole work thing
and then I'd come home and game
then it was like if say I didn't game
and I just put a like I worked all day
I'm tired I was stocking shelves all day
and like that's not the hardest job in the world
but it was like it was one of those jobs
where it's like afterwards, I'm like, God damn.
Like, that kind of hurts.
I'm lifting palettes and stuff in like weird ways.
But it's like I easily, because it was something I loved, I did gaming.
It was something I chose to do after I would work.
And luckily I turned it into something.
But like a lot of people won't do that.
It's like they get home.
They'll click on something, YouTube, TikTok, and they'll sort of waste those hours away
that you have to actually
those are the hours that you
I understand you have to work
and I understand what it's like
It's such a weird thing to navigate
because you can't teach passion
So if you're super passionate about something
You can't teach someone to do it
It is hard though
But you can tell someone that if you are passionate
You can do it
Like it's not like a
Fuck like like
Say I wanted to be an NFL player
But I don't have the height and the weight
I'm just like,
fuck man,
like I'll never be an NFL player.
You can figure out
how the fuck to train NFL players
get super buff.
Yeah,
you're not going to be as tall
as a linebacker,
but you can work on your nutrition
and you can figure out
like a training schedule
and you can train,
you can work with people,
you can be a part of the team
in some way
or you have to do with fucking work,
work your ass off at it.
You have to obsess over it.
You have to think about it.
Every time,
you have a split second to think you have to get one percent better like when like not even
one percent better every day one percent better every thought like like every time you can think
about what you're passionate about think about how to get to the level of the competition
of the people that you look up to get to their level and then how do you pass that and like
it's so hard to it's like there is working with people
that have never had that mentality is or not working with people but like like like like
talking to people that have never had that mentality it's so hard to explain it to them i understand
because fucking all of my life i've i go through the depression phases and when i'm in those phases
i truly understand that my brain is not thinking like that like my brain is thinking like i
don't fucking give a fuck yeah like it's like it's like in a and i think a lot of
of people are in that state of mind to where they they're in that thought process of like i don't
fucking whatever like tomorrow or something like they kind of keep putting it off or it's like
they'll wait till the perfect opportunity and i know what it's like i mean i'm still there now
i i feel like as i've gotten older i've gotten better at not knowing i'm in that state what the
Knowing I'm in that state of mind,
a lot of times I used to just fold
and I'd disappear for a week or something.
But now,
I used to fold and I'd just like disappear for a week
or be depressed for a few weeks,
but now it's in not do, say, stream
or whatever I had to do.
But now I feel like I've caught on
to whether I feel like it or not,
I need to,
I need to change something.
I need to do it.
I need to show.
show up. I need to go work out. I need to eat cleaner. I have to do it, whether I feel like it or not,
or else you're going to, you got to realize if you're in a state, if where you're at in life right now,
you're not happy with it, like something has to change. And like, you're going to have to figure it out.
So do what is necessary whether you feel like it or not. And like one of those days, when you truly
take care of like your health, your, your body, your mind with your exercise, your diet, nutrition.
Some, some, one of those days, something's going to spark.
And say you're exercising, you're working, then your food's right.
But like, you still just, something about life is just, it's just not at where you want it
to be.
You're just fucking depressed and you don't really know why.
Something's wrong with you.
At least you think something.
things wrong with you. But I promise, like, stay on that path. Don't give up and be like,
fuck it. I'm going to, I'm going to eat this. I'm going to, I don't feel like going to the gym.
I don't feel like I'm going to call off of work. I'm not going to look into this YouTube
fucking series about something else I want to do. One of these days, if you stay consistent,
something's going to spark, something, you're going to get some kind of idea, you're going to
come across some YouTube video. And these are going to be the evenings after work when you're tired and
you didn't want to do it, but you found this out, and it kind of sparked something, and now
you're a little bit interested, and eventually you dive into that, and then eventually you find
something you really want to do, and you meet this person, and it's like, that's kind of how
your life changes. It's just sticking with it, even though you don't, you may not feel like it right
now, but stick with it, do it in like a healthy way, and eventually something will spark.
Like there's times
there's times when I'm fucking streaming
And you know this
There's times when I'm streaming
Where it's just like dude
I'm like just
Halo's dying out basically
Yeah
Streaming numbers are down
And it's just like there's a while
That I was getting like
I'd get like three 400
Sometimes I randomly 5 600
I'm like damn I'm doing this on Halo
Like this basically
Their whole fucking viewership
Yeah
But I'm just like this is kind of nice
Like thank fucking God
But then that time is like
been sort of dying out and I'll look I'll have like 150 viewers or less no one's talking and
I'm just like fuck yeah like I don't even it makes me not want to stream almost it's like damn I don't
think but you have to adjust you I have to stick with it because or stick with it yeah I have to
just like one adjust to stick with it maybe switch something up or something but it's like I could
easily see that and just be like damn like i'm like i look at it like fuck i'm 31 like i need something
i can consistently rely on it's it's stressful because i don't what if this continue what if this path
continues and it's just down and down and down and down what if this past continues like then what
am i going to do it starts spiraling this negative fucking thought but it's like i stick with it i put a
smile on my face i try to be as entertaining as possible like i'm i don't get on and let that
those thoughts take over my stream.
It's like I still,
no matter what the numbers are,
I still just like show up
and try to entertain, have a good stream.
And then it's like, boom, these pasts,
doing a watch party, my stream kind of blew up.
Did really good.
And I was just like, thank God, man.
For the Halo tournament?
Yeah.
Like the watch parties blew up.
Went really well.
It was super fun.
I did have to grind out.
It was like these nine hour a day streams
of just sitting there watch partying.
I'm talking.
the whole time I'm loud my draw hurts yeah but it's just like because of the struggle it was
kind of before that I'm thankful it made me appreciate that so much more I'm like I don't
give a fuck if the Super Bowl's on like I didn't watch I didn't see a second of the Super Bowl
I was like I don't give a fuck of it so I'm like I've been waiting for something like this
I'm like thank God I'm so thankful for the and it just like yeah I was it finally that
sort of just sticking with it grinding out
through the negative thoughts it's like finally something happened and it's like i might go back
and streams are down i might stream this evening it's not as good um but if you see if you put the
like you put the hours in as long as you're being smart about it like there's some people that i've
seen drive their stream into the ground just because they don't ever switch what they do and it's just
not working but for you that's what i'm up for you stream you stream in the morning and you stream
Halo and you know that like if you build a viewer base on Halo in the morning then
whenever these like watch parties happen you're gonna be a point of interest to
that because you're the only one putting in the hours and if you're the only one
doing it then like you're gonna reap the benefits of like those sort of things and
then later on down the road if this Halo BR does happen people are gonna be coming
to you and then that is when you have to super-cap
Like if Ninja comes to you and be like you know I haven't played forever you know what I mean like yeah
You're gonna be the ones playing with ninja doctor disrespect like Nick Merck's like they're gonna come to you
Yeah whenever that happens which is what you had to be prepared for that but like it's that that's a smart way of of doing it and that is what I've fucked up on
So much in the past like and I didn't even but I was in that state of mind to where I was like
Depress and it's like I didn't care but I'm like I wasn't even giving my brain a fair fucking shot
Like I was taking drugs to give me this spike and then my like serotonin just crashes and then I'm depressed and I don't feel like and I don't give a fuck.
Yeah.
Like it was like that kind of fucking attitude.
And I just I look back.
I'm like fuck.
I'm like fuck.
I miss so many opportunities because I was just like in that shitty state of mind to where I like didn't care.
I did care but I was too depressed and I was just like fuck it.
but yeah i've been that's like the biggest thing i think i've learned even last year i think i had like
2,700 subs halo was out for probably five six months but streams were doing pretty well
disappeared to mexico uh basically after that went from that to like sort of partying all summer
and then i and then like i come back streaming and i'm like hoping that it's going to be like oh
shit many X bag it pops a fuck off but it didn't and i was just like fuck i cannot make this mistake ever
again and it's just like whether it's in gaming streaming or anything else it's like you can't
you can't fuck up these opportunities and the opportunities are only going to come when you really
stick with it even in the the shitty ass fucking moment because i don't know that's my that's the biggest
thing I've uh I've kind of realized in the past I would say 2023 I've like really sort of been on
my shit whether I feel like it or not and it feels kind of I mean I still think something is
wrong with my brain but same I want to hear I want to hear about yours I still feel like
something's wrong with my brain but regardless whether I feel like it or not I'm still you're
still going to see me show up yeah what's going to win yeah yeah
Which is a win regardless
If you show up at least
I think that'll help you at least
Not have a panic attack at night
Like thinking you're a complete fucking loser
You might think you're a loser
But if you show up at least you can be like
At least I fucking showed up
Yeah
What uh
Wait why do you say something's wrong with your brain
Dude I just
We know about mine
I was
You're fucking
I'll let you talk
Just like I think like editing that blog
and like reminiscing and then I was like as I was editing it I was like damn this is
actually like pretty fucking good and then I was like why why am I not vlogging again
and I'm like dude I'm gonna I'm gonna make like other types of videos like what if what if
people are like what the fuck is this like why are you making this video they're like you're not
that guy head you're like yeah like who are you trying to be yeah like you're not him
this yeah I'm just like but I just want to try it like I just want to try it like I'm just
in my head about it.
And then I'm like,
why do I feel like, damn,
why do I feel like shit?
I'm like, I'm exercising every day.
I'm eating a lot better than I've ever eaten.
And, you know,
things are going great with Alexis and I.
And like, TST, we have 7K subs right now.
More subs than we've had in the past three years.
Everything in my life is going great.
And like, why am I like, blah?
Like, why am I like, what do I feel like I'm missing out on?
Like, I don't understand why my mind.
gets like that.
And Alexis, like, are you okay?
And I'm just like talking to her.
I'm like talking to her on the phone.
I'm like, yeah, like everything's great.
Yeah.
My whole life is amazing right now.
But like why do I feel this like bleh?
I feel like I'm, I feel like I'm being like weighed down on.
And I think a lot of it has to do with just I feel like I have no free time right now.
But like even when I do have free time, I spend that free time like working or like studying
or like thinking about.
what I can do.
And I think that's why you're at where you're at.
What do you mean?
Oh.
Because yeah,
like you're spending.
It's like,
damn,
I don't even feel that great.
And it's like,
damn,
I don't,
I don't really have much free time.
But then it's like the free time you do have your use,
putting it to work.
But I think that's why you're at.
It's not like,
I'm not like sitting down and writing a paper like in my free time.
I'm just like,
I'm like,
let's see what people are up to.
Like,
maybe maybe it's like one of those things where like I just lit I like see what
everyone else is doing and just think that that's their actual life when it's not
their actual life yeah I know that and but but I'm not comparing my I don't I think
it's just like I like everyone's in a while like do you ever just get anxious and you
don't know why you're anxious yeah every day yeah even this morning when I woke up
yeah this morning when I woke up I was like literally and I think it's it's pretty
much every day I'm like I think I'm gonna cancel on like I'm just not gonna show up this morning
it's like that goes through my head like I'm gonna find some reason to cancel because I still I still have
shit I need to do from like all this my storage stuff getting stolen and I need to do to have to go back
and find every single thing I bought ever on my bank statements like I'm gonna have to go back
to like 2017 when I bought the camera and like find this to get a picture of it from my bank statement
that shows that I had proof that it was that I did have it.
it. And it's like, dude, just think like that's on my mind. And so yeah, I definitely wake up
and I don't. But like those are reasons to be anxious. Yeah. I mean, that's there. But I definitely,
even without that, yeah, fucking before that even happened, I'm still, I don't know what it is.
Like every once in a while, like, every once in a while, like, I'll get super anxious and like,
damn near like panic. But that's because like something will hit me. And I'm like, holy shit. I forgot
to do that.
nine months ago
and then I'm like dude
humans haven't always been this way man
you don't think so
no no
they no I wonder if Kate
like this is a new thing
Neanderthals and stuff I wonder if they were like chill as fuck
bro you wake up
you go get food
and you come back
and you get enough food for your family
and you come back
that was their day
but they're thinking holy fuck
I'm cold as shit my baby
freezing or like something like that right that's their purpose their purpose is to i have to go work
hard enough so that my family survives i mean apparently apparently that's fucking that i mean that's
that's i mean that is that seems anxiety like apparently there have have been like surveys of like
this is the most depressed it has to be and i think it's just going to get worse and worse but also it's like
Is it because people, I think ignorance is bliss and everything on the internet is sort of, like, you hear the word mental health all the time.
And everyone, I think people hear that and they're like, damn, that is kind of, I'm, I have those feelings.
Here's, here's.
And they're like, how can I, how can I get rid of these feelings?
Let me take this pill or.
Dude.
So I don't know if we're true, we truly are depressed.
I don't know if we're getting more depressed because we're learning more about depression.
No, there's just, I think there's just.
more happening.
I feel like we're having to use our brains more than ever before.
Just because there's information and like things overload pumping into our brain and all
fucking like one little thing like one of the things I can actually say is like
four or so I've moved every single year almost on the dot since 2018.
We go to 2018 in 2018 we move from the scuff.
house or 2017 we moved from scuff house to here then i've moved almost every year on the dot since then
dude i went to the emergency room one time during one of those houses and that's the that's the
address that they have was probably the house that we lived in and like i paid one of the bills
but there were like four bills and i don't know where the fuck they are yeah and like so every once
in a while I'll just be like, dude, I wonder if that's going to affect my credit.
Like, I haven't paid, I haven't paid like a, like a, as like a, like a, like a little like
whatever bill, like a lab bill.
And it's probably out there somewhere.
And what if I'm just because I forgot to pay that and I haven't gotten to that, is that going
to affect my credit?
Am I not going to be able to buy a house?
Am I not going to be able to, am I going to have to convince Alexis to split an apartment
with me for another year while I build up credit.
I don't even have, I didn't even have a credit card until two years ago.
And it's just like that kind of shit and that's one aspect of life.
And then it's like, what am I doing with Optic?
What I'm doing TST?
I haven't talked to my mom at three days.
This is the matrix we got sucked into.
And it's just like you sit in bed and you're like, holy shit, man.
This is the matrix we got sucked into.
See, I don't think I think there's like this.
These are the blinds that are over our eyes.
Like it's not that big of a deal.
And what's funny is I think I got one of those
I think it was like Lab Corp or something.
I got something in the mail and said I owed like 300 some dollars.
And of course I look at it.
I'm like, no, I don't.
I was like like I look at it.
And five years down the line,
I'm going to get something in my,
I'm going to like look at my credit and it's going to go down 60 points.
I'm going to be what the fuck was this from?
And it's going to be like lab court,
some fucking medical bill that I haven't paid.
But it's just like, I see that.
I'm like, I don't believe you.
Like who is this spam?
I don't know what the fuck.
All the shit.
I open my PO box or whatever my mailbox.
The amount of shit I have from random places, like, I don't, who the fuck are y'all?
How are y'all even legally sending me shit?
I'm like, I don't know if this is a scam.
Some of it will be like, some of it will be like, like urgent.
Yeah.
And then it'll say the current.
resident. And I'm like, if it's that urgent to open, how do you not even know who lives here?
Yeah. I'm just like, and it's like, how do they get away with this? And then you got like,
you have like emails and and and and and and people are hitting you. I just feel I, I, I think I feel.
I feel great and my life is great, but I do feel like mad overwhelmed like all the time.
And I think that I think that contributes to to like randomly getting these.
like spikes of anxiety but but also like I think I think I've fallen into a rhythm of of like what I do
on a on a day to day basis that like I used to be able to just like like when I was editing
that vlog I was like man this is great like this is great like having like doing what I came in
to this shit to originally do and I have finally got a chance to do it I'm just like this
feels like I can take a breath of fresh air and so like that makes me
happy for what I eventually want to do with the channel, which is like work on shit.
Because now, because over the past three years, the only time I've had that feeling is like
when I set up tournaments or like I work really hard for like a stream, something we do on
stream.
And that's always fun, but that's a, that's a hidden, quit it thing.
Like you work, I'll work.
Even then your stress is fuck.
Yeah, just putting those together.
I work seven months on the off season and it's done in 48 hours.
And like, that was so much fun.
But like I won't get a chance to relive it.
And at least with like these big videos that I'm thinking of, like, they'll stay on the internet.
And I'll be like, yeah, that shit was so much fun when I went to Iceland and lived under the rocks for 48 hours.
And then no one.
Yeah, I'm going to pick and choose.
Hitch asked me if I'm going to, if I'd be down to do some of these.
I'm going to have to pick and choose.
We'll see.
We'll see what ideas you, you come up with.
I know you don't want to say it on the fly guys because these fox will fucking steal it.
They'll go viral, become multi-millionaires.
It's funny, like, what ideas I've come up with, and I, I looked them up already.
I looked them up on YouTube to see if they've already been done.
80% of the time they've already been done.
Really?
Even the vegan one I'm doing.
I can say that one because I went vegan for a year?
Not a year, but 30 days has been done, 100 days has been done, six months.
Is there any update you can give that what's a pro or con of how you feel right now?
And you can clip this, throw it in your dock or whatever.
the fucking video.
No, I feel,
I feel great.
Yeah, what's the difference?
What?
Right now,
I'm a little sniffly
because I,
I am sick,
but,
but energy levels,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I do feel a difference
at energy level,
I will say,
like I feel,
but I don't know
if that's because I'm working out.
I don't know if I believe it.
Yeah,
I don't know if I believe it.
I don't know if it's head casing at all.
But every once in a while,
I'm like,
damn, I feel fucking good.
Really?
And I'm like,
oh my God,
it's it because I,
eating beans and shit?
Is that why?
I don't know.
But like the rich roll guy,
he's been plant-based for 15 years.
15 years.
So is it vegan or plant-based?
What are you-
I'm doing vegan?
Okay.
And I think plant-based,
plant-based is vegan.
Oh.
It's a different way of saying it.
Right?
Plant-based.
Plant-based.
Maybe plant-based meat,
but I'm assuming he does no dairy,
but maybe he does it.
you think you feel good better mentally
why exactly did you do this
for the video just for the video
that's it well and also like
also my like digestive system was fucking up like in
in November and I was like damn I need to change my diet
that's when I was also thinking about like uploading again
and I was like we had just done the 100 hours
video and that was popping off so I was like damn I could
I do think this I have the mind for this like
like challenge video
viral type video like I have the mind for it so like I want to try it I'm like maybe I
go vegetarian for a year and I'm like nobody's gonna fucking care yeah and I'm like what if I went
vegan vegetarian so like me yeah I'm always like yeah vegetarian I just eat cheese pizza for 12
months but but vegan people that's that's that's enough of a shock where people will be like
damn I wonder what that's actually like so that's why I what that's why I like tried it but I
out what we were originally talking about.
But yeah,
that's,
that's why I originally started it.
But I mean,
it's,
it's fine.
It's a lot easier because I don't have a sense of smell,
so like I can't even taste what I'm eating.
So that makes,
I think that's like a little bit of a cheat code.
But who,
when I get my smell back,
like if,
if I start taking medicine again and,
uh,
and I give my smell back,
then it'll be harder because I'll be able to smell the bacon and smell the
shakeout and smell the fucking cheese pizza.
want to know what that's like
to randomly
or okay I don't want to know
I don't want to know what it's like to
not
and I feel like I've asked it so many times
but is it like a
like a dopamine rush
when you can get that smell
are you like yes oh my
like is it like your brain kind of lights up
and you're like happy
dude makes you want to like cry
the first time I smelled grass like cut grass
I was like I wanted to like
What are some of your favorite smells?
Lemon, coffee, peanut butter, smelling grass.
Even like the must of like, like after, like when you, when you, when I get done playing soccer and I take my shoes off and I put them in my trunk and then when I open my trunk up and it smells, it smells like must.
I missed that.
I missed gasoline.
Like.
Some of my favorites are gasoline.
concrete
like basement the smell of a basement
the smell of a basement
really
missed that one
yeah
that one was like
whoa what the fuck
miss that one
yeah
there's like
there's a lot of shit
that you don't even think about
like
yeah
some uh
yeah
my girlfriend
thinks I'm weird for this
for liking the smell
I forget where we
oh I was a touring townhouses
and it was like
it just had
a town, a woody,
it wasn't like a brand new smell.
It was like someone's lived in it.
It wasn't like an apartment smell.
It was like a home with a garage
and a concrete and dirt.
And it was like,
I feel like I haven't smelled that in so long.
But I was telling her,
I was like, I love this smell.
But like any kind of like construction,
gasoline, concrete.
I fucking love that shit.
Yeah.
And it makes me,
I remember telling her like
I want to I kind of want to get a real job
like why when I'm smelling
why when I'm smelling this stuff is it like
like are these
I mean a event is the sanded
fucking construction like these people working on the side
of the road sometimes I'll have my windows
down and I'll smell it
and I'm like like it's smell it's probably
feels good being out there
like doing this shit
whatever the fuck they're doing on the side of the roads
but at the end of the day
probably not
probably not it's a weird thing where it's something where I've thought about all the time like
what if I just get a part-time job I think about this all the time yeah but if I get a part-time
job at like like bus tables or like wait tables or like but I mean it's it's like a it's like a
it's like a gross thing to think about because some people get a job and vlog it some people yeah
or log it but make a video right like it just seems like you're you're like using that as
entertainment when it's not like it's livelihood for a lot of fucking people it's a gross way of
like it always like mr beast when he uses like mr beast when he uses blind people just for
fucking clicks people are so you see that what like you saw like the backlash from it yeah
dude people are so stupid i hope people are what if someone here is watching or someone watching
right now listening what if they're one of those people that have any words for them well
People have been what people say about Mr. Beast all the time.
I didn't know he had any haters.
What people say about, well, people say that people dismiss him all the time.
Because like he throws all, he throws all this money at the videos.
It's like if you, oh, if you stay in this ice cube for, I keep using ice.
You keep, you stay in this ice cube for 20 hours.
I'll give you $100,000.
People are like, man, like, it's hard making, like, it's hard making videos when you don't have money to throw around like that.
Of course all your videos are gonna do well you make all this money or you throw all this money around and it's like
Well fucking he was the guy watching Logan Paul's or Jake Paul's everyday bro video for 48 hours straight or something like it's the same guy
It's the same guy that was like doing
videos that took not like that took no money but were videos that no one was doing and he he is made it a point to just like
every money all almost all the money he
makes from his videos he reinvest back into his videos.
It's like what more could would you rather him start a business and do crypto palm?
Exactly. What are you doing?
Like so he takes he takes all the money that he reinvest into videos and instead of buying a hotel for a million dollars a night, he actually goes out any.
So a lot of the times like he'll he'll buy out a grocery store every item in the grocery store.
and he'll give it away to the homeless.
And it's like,
even if he did that for the views.
And people probably hate on that somehow.
Even if he did like,
oh my God,
you're doing this for the views.
You're not doing it to help people.
Even,
that's probably not true.
But even if it was true,
definitely not true.
What the fuck?
Who cares?
Some people are spending millions of dollars
and making a movie.
Would you rather him Andrew Tate it
and just like go on yachts and...
Right.
What would you rather him,
do. Like people will hate
and get models and
alcohol and
yeah I saw the backlash and it just
made no
I don't
I don't maybe because I'm
I just don't I truly I don't even know
how to talk about it because I don't understand
it at all. People
maybe someone in the comment section
don't have some kind of good
no there's not a good rebuttal like there's no
reason to hate on. I think what people
I think the what what people think is
weird is that seeing a YouTube video and so in a space that is looking at him like a
YouTuber right in a space that is so like like playful and seeing a video that says we
like I cured a thousand people of blindness people will not watch a video they'll not understand
who he is as a person or who he is as a creator how he invest his videos it's a six minute
video or something like that.
Something like,
how do you trim down a fat,
curing a thousand people of blindness
into six minutes?
That's fucking crazy.
And then like,
they're like,
oh my God,
this guy thinks he's Jesus.
Like,
that's probably where their mind goes.
This guy thinks he cured a thousand,
but in reality,
he used a majority of his,
or he used a fuck ton of his own money,
his own money that he had earned.
Or maybe it was a sponsor deal.
Fuck it.
If it's a sponsor deal,
that's still his own money.
And he used that to pay for,
a doctor who specializes in this in this surgery and he you know used it for a thousand people
but like it so people are probably like oh my god this guy thinks he's jesus but like why would
you think that like what why is that where your mind goes because if this guy can do it this
YouTuber who lives in fucking middle of nowhere north carolina if he can do it then what are
your favorite billionaires doing what are your favorite millionaires doing
why are they buying all these
I bought this up on my stream
but how much money and shit
and millionaires and billionaires that are in the world
it is insane to me
that there are people literally starving
and they don't have shelter
and I sort of understand
drug addicts in homelessness
to an extent to where it's like
not that they're choosing this life
but there's some control
You just fall into it.
There's some control that they should have had and could have had and they're fucking
up big time.
Yeah.
Some of them maybe not.
But I'm talking about the, I don't fucking like say the starving kids in Africa that you
see on TV as a kid growing up.
Yeah.
Even besides them, there is multiple other places that are in, that have that same issue.
Yeah.
And it's just fucking insane to me that there is.
is this much money in the world.
And there is literal human beings
just like you who feel
hurt and pain
and cold
and heat the same way you do.
And there's just, there's still
we're like not do.
We're like, well, this is our country.
We're gonna worry about this.
And it's just, I don't know,
it's fucking mind-blood to me.
How like somehow we're not living
as like a human race together on Earth.
It's like a, it's a section.
It's like gangs.
This is like the U.S. gang.
We're not really worried about, I feel like.
I don't know why.
I randomly thought of that on the stream,
but it's just mind-blowing.
That even happens in the U.S.
Those people starving in the U.S.
Like, we're not even looking after our own in that sense.
It makes no sense to me.
And I, I mean, I always tell myself,
I mean, it's easy when you're a brokey to talk like that,
like me.
But, like, I wonder, I feel like if I,
I do have a goal of like one day seeing $1 million in my bank account.
Yep.
I do have that goal.
When I get to that goal, will I, will my next be 10 million?
Or will I, I feel like I'll actually be content.
I have that goal too.
I'm very far away from it.
Very fucking far away.
But like, I think I would be content with that.
I don't.
And the thing is, is like, when I'm in this, when I'm doing this next time,
of like of YouTube trying this next thing out like my goal isn't to go viral my goal is not to get
a hundred million views on a video that's not that's not my goal I just wanted I want to do I want
to see if I can do better in this next venture than I did in my last and just focus on making good
videos yeah just focus on or you can apply that to anything whatever you do next in life try
to make it one percent better than you did I've been like because it's
I feel like I find I think I'm finally figuring it out.
Or if you're,
if you don't want to,
then like if,
if you worked your whole life and you're,
you know,
you're 35,
like you're 40 years old.
You built up a company.
You sold it for a million dollars and now you're content.
Don't make the 1%.
Don't be like,
oh shit,
well,
I have to build up another company and sell that one for even more money.
People get off on that.
You don't have to do that.
Like you just,
you did that point of your life.
So now you focus on another point.
So now maybe, you know, you make sure that your family's doing right.
I don't know.
I just feel like, I feel like it is, once you have the mindset to just make yourself better,
you can figure out how to do that.
And that's what I've been working on ever since I, I think ever since I turned 30.
I never made it a point to like, I'm kind of the same way.
Make myself better when I turned 30.
Like, that was not a point of mine.
But it's just like how I've been thinking.
Something did hit me.
I'm 30.
I did not think something.
was going to hit me. I thought I was like, yeah, I'm going to turn 30. Like, it's basically my
20s again, but just with more money. That's how I kept like thinking about it. But like,
not like, you got to start thinking, or at least I started thinking differently. Like, I was just like,
you know, I want to focus on, on, you know, making myself better in all aspects. Yeah.
As far as like, like, as much as I can. And that's the only thing I feel like that pulls me
making myself better is
one of the only things
that I feel like pulls me out of that
super negative thinking
space and I love
I love like talking about this and like sort of
preaching about it because I know
people listening are the
we're in the fucking gaming world there's a reason
why we fell into the gaming world
and I'm not saying everyone's like this
but there's a reason we sort of fell into the gaming world
what is gaming? Gaming's that thing that
the kid who maybe didn't have that many
friends or got picked on or didn't feel like he fit in socially or at something they
was competitive but too small yeah it's something we ran to for some reason and I think a lot of
that reason is like subconsciously we are sort of that person that maybe worries or has anxiety
about certain things in life or depression and this was our outlet and I think that's a big
community in the gaming space so it's why I like talking about it hopefully people get
something I mean I can preach from my own fucking hardships that like truly following a good
routine and actually sort of leveling trying to level up every single day it gives me
some sense of pride even if my brain even if my day sucked or whatever it's like at least
I still showed up that's definitely it's definitely fucking help yeah I think we
were good on time.
I did have
a album of the week.
I did listen to your
Johannesburg or whatever the fuck.
Yeah, that was like, it's great.
It's just like great vibes
of, I'm trying
to think of like the perfect scenario of
where you would listen to it.
But just
driving in like the morning
when the sun's coming.
It's like such good.
Sunrise music.
I've been like two weeks ago, I've been, for the past two weeks, I've been listening to like EDM.
Okay.
Because it's like for some reasoning, for some reason like boosting my mood.
There was months where I didn't listen to any music and I just felt down.
Yeah.
And Johannesburg is like one of the, is that the name of the album?
It's like any of remember.
It's like five songs.
That's, it's like one of those albums where you may not feel so well.

brings you sort of into the moment
