So if you guys know that like we don't post it as much, but we have this foldable table that we've been using for quite a long time. Quite a long time. It was a Walmart table that I bought a long time ago. It was supposed to be temporary because it was going to be like replayed. placed by an actual table. But we never did it because, you know, ah, old arrival.

Oh, boys will be boys, bro. Oh, boys will be boys. And that's, yeah, a lot of the times we would have people over and every single time, we got one of two things. We got number one. Oh, my God, please let me clean your house. I'm actually getting ill looking at your house. And then number two is, when are you going to replace that table?

Yeah. See, people want to change things that are not broken in. life. Yeah. The table served its freaking purpose. Even though it's not the prettiest.

Yeah. It was so versatile. It's very functional and it's lightweight. You know, you can do it. Super lightweight. Adjustable height. Easily clean.

You don't care if it got dirty because it's a fold-up table. Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. And so like we never thought like, you know, you know.

So, but we did get a gift from our friends and I'll put an image up on the screen. And, It's now a wooden table. We now have a wooden table. And what's cool about it is that it opens up.

It's cut in the middle and it opens up and we can put shit under it. And we have this puzzle that I put that we got us a gift. And I finished the puzzle yesterday in the morning. Wow. That was so cool. It was a puzzle with turtle. That's really nice. I like turtles.

And so yeah, now we have like a proper table. That was just like a cool little Christmas gift that we have received. That was awesome. Yeah. Man, I want to see it. A nice don't. I need to do grocery shopping. I mean,

gift shopping, you guys. It's okay. Your company is more than enough, Larry. It's going to be a late Christmas. Wow. What a wholesome way to put that.

No, that was cute. Yeah, your company is enough. But grunk, no. I, no, no. No, no. No, no, no, that's cute. No.

No, I need to steal a shop. Even if it's late, I want to get some, everyone, a gift. Okay, okay, grunk. Pretend Larry's not here. What do you want for Christmas? Let's see.

There is like one thing I feel like I actually want, but I'm trying to remember what it is. If you do remember, can I take a guess? If you do remember. Well, take a guess now, because maybe it's it. You want a table. A fun of table.

Oh. You want. I take the old one. You want. I don't know. I don't know what you'd want. I want a new pair of glasses. Okay.

Okay. Wait, like what glasses you rock right now? Yeah, what shape? I don't know. I was looking at some, but I need to go in person. Triangle glasses.

Yeah. No, getting with smaller ones, bro. Yeah. Smaller circle ones. For the ASAP rocky ones, we were just at Rayban yesterday and we were looking at the ASAP

rocky ones. They are, they are definitely loud. No, remember the small ones, the really small shaped ones. No, that wasn't, that was an A-SAP Rocky. Oh, my fault.

His were the thick, thick ones. Yeah, like the LMFAO, thick glasses. Yeah, B, yeah, pretty much. It was those. Already in Rockers. They had a bunch of different ones. I think I saw Messi as well, or like Rinaldo or somebody. I'm selling one of them.

Dude, I think that's what the group needs to do. We just need to get into the glasses business. Really? Where my shit? It's untapped, bro. It's got to be untapped. You're right, actually. What content creator is putting out glass?

Dude, what content creator is, is making gum the group gum come on group group chew come on oh come on larry's nick's thing delayed it all for you is that just a no yeah what my my voice here no your camera camera's delayed horrifically delayed you're looking clear today you're looking very clear thanks i have to shave my face ask me what i want for christmas yeah what do you want for christmas I actually don't know I want La Roche Posse I think is what I just

You want Roach Pussy Roche pussy What did you say La Roche Pose What is that? La Roche Posee What is that? Go ahead

Tell the fuck what that is I think it's just like Facial Or it can be a lot of things I think they do a bunch of stuff But it's a really nice face wash Oh Interesting

Interesting But I think it's one of those things I was just going to say It's like one of those things where you start using it And if you ever stop using it You break out and you die And you're fawked You're focked forever

That's fair Yeah Dude I've noticed that when I do my skincare routines If I keep doing it It actually breaks my skin out It does No it's true If it's simple

Like as simple as fuck Yep Then you're kind of chill True breakout Yeah well like not breakout But like I'll get like a pimple here and there And then like you know It just like doesn't really help

And so I use like snail mucon and I do this other thing and it's like I don't know if it's clogging my shit or what son but like damn a little sneak of the sun there by the way I have something that's off topic but I posted or I'm gonna be posting a vlog today so there's a vlog that's going out the Christmas one and in that conversation I talked with Tanner speaking of clogging I talked with Tanner about wiping flushing dude wipes down the sink this down the sink I mean I meant down the toilet. Oh my God, down the train. I'm so dumb. Sorry, sorry. Okay.

I want to make this very clear. Okay. This is for anyone at home. Do not flush your fucking wipes down the toilet at all. Do not do that. Even if, and people that say oh, it's flushable, bro. It's meant to get past the toilet. That is clogging

your pipes going to the street. And then eventually, dude, eventually you're going to get backed up water and your whole house is going to be full of poopy water. Yep. It's terrible. It happened to me. It's not a good idea. you're going to use dude wipes you might as well just throw in the little

if you have a little trash bin yes dude on the trash bin yes put it in there dude that's the use so I blew up Larry's toilet a few days ago and I used the dude wipes and I realized it was an open bin and I was like oh fuck I can't fold it really nicely and put it there so I

walk to this poo well I went to another toilet and I threw it away another toilet oh okay do you do you I gotta get close but I have an open bin it's kind of gross like having poo in the trash can I feel like

I feel like it's fine if it's closed and if you throw out the bin every week well how about what about a bidet why don't you just get a bidet yeah you could do a bidet

ask for a bidet for Christmas oh wait yeah I kind of want a bidet for Christmas who asked me what I want what do you want what do you want

a bidet a bidet yeah you should get a bidet you know what I want oh my God I know what the fuck I want oh my God Oh, my God, not a bidet.

Dude, I want a block, like a Belkin block phone charger for my phone for the back of Larry. What the hell's wrong? Oh, you fuck? You're talking about one of these right here? You're going on one of these right here? Yeah, he stole mine. He stole mine. Okay.

Whoa. No, I'm just kidding. I was kidding. He took it on an accident because you know what? You forget about it and that's the charm. That's the charm. You slap by your fellow. Yep.

And it just charges. Charges. You forget about it. This is not an ad or nothing, but like this is just what it is. This is real life. That's real life. So I have the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Okay, I haven't upgraded in three years.

And so I'm sitting here with my phone battery saying it's like 70% total usage or something. So my phone dies hella quick, bro. Hell of quick. So. And you know what I think kills it? FaceTime. I think FaceTime like actually overheats your shit, twin. And also, it's just like they programmed their batteries to die.

Well, yeah, they lost the lawsuit for that. it also doesn't help that the that the iOS um you know the little transparency shit like the glass effect yeah a little bit of more intense dude it's crazy that's like a number one conspiracy thing that got proven true so like the conspiracy theorists win that battle where it was like they were like dude i feel like apple slows down the phone on purpose to make you buy another one and that was like the big conspiracy and accusation for years and they fucking get proven true I see some people rock my phone sevens. Yeah, yeah.

Yep, me too. I have a good friend that's, what is it? I don't know, it's one of the ones still got the home button. Yeah, that's crazy. It's nuts. Why? Yeah, I think it was past.

Just because they don't, they don't really use it. Like, not like we do. Like, they're not very much on socials. Yeah, I low-key wish that I was kind of like that. Dude, me too. I find myself being addicted to my phone. And yeah, but it's like your job is on your phone. Yeah.

Yeah, the job is somewhat on the phone, but like how much really? Because what time do you spend on? Yeah, like it's scrolling on Instagram part of your job. What's the quality looking like? Because my time, sometimes it's like searching up shit. And then I go on Wikipedia and then I'm looking through and I'm like, whoa. And I'm like reading more about it. And I'm like, whoa.

And then you look more into like the external links. And you're like, whoa. You, wikihead. I think. Oh, I do like wiki. I do like wiki. I think that for me, I like to keep up with the news

and what's going on in the present day world I like to keep up with memes. That's a great one. You gotta follow your meme pages, dude. But no, for real, like, that's what, I mean, I really do scroll just to kind of like keep up with this shit, dude. I don't, I don't want to ever fall behind

and become unk. Well, almost caught myself asking what 6-7 meant all those months ago. Well, I was asking what 6-7 meant. Even today, really. Even today? Really?

What is six? It's all, I don't know, dude, I feel like, I actually was just writing in my journal today. I think the year of 2026

is like the year of conscious change, like actually like working towards change and building new habits. And you know why? I feel like it's because right, like this year was really extreme with the, how really just everyone was tuning it to like 11. Okay?

At the amp, you have amps that go up to 10. And then you have one specific amp that goes up to 11, and that amp was used this year. But now, everyone's kind of like, well, when you get to an extreme point, it's like you can get even more extreme. But then it just gets annoying. This year has been very insane politically and everything I feel like, just like culturally. Extreme just gets redundancy. Dude, it's just, yeah, we live in a crazy world.

And it's like, I just want my time to be going to better things. I feel like, what, describe something that would be a better thing. creative things or just like literature um like but the thing with i've noticed about creativity is that it's like you don't really want to force it because it just feels bad let me let me tell you a little thing about yeah yeah please do sir because when i think about creativity when i think about like the the whole point of it um right it's uh it's a communication device like It's a way, it's a means to communicate one thing or an idea to an audience and that audience can be very broad or very niche or very specific and how you go about explaining that idea. Now, it kind of gets twisted because right now art and all that kind of does get put into the whole like stratosphere of how much can I sell this for or like how much money can I make from this or like it's kind of like a status thing, right?

It gets turned into like a status thing about I don't know. it's just a thing so like but in reality art is really just the means to express one thing to another um at least like that's what i use it and like when i think about it like that it does help clear up like okay in that sense let me ask myself what do i want to say or what is there to say and we and for me to right now what i want to say is why is Isaac in this call all of a sudden That's my question. So what's my artful way of showing? I see why, ladies and gentlemen and joy join the call. Welcome back to my group of chat.

Today I am sick and I wish I could be here with my friends. But I didn't bring my GoX Ola and I didn't bring my show as some 7 B. Neither did I, sir. And I'm still here. Oh, what? I didn't get permission. Larry, Larry told me. He said, you join it on your phone? Get the hell out. that's what he said. Larry, did you really tell this guy no, dude? I said, get the fuck out. I said, get it. I can't believe that. I just can't believe that.

I said, get it. I said, get it. Hey, man, last time Nick, uh, when he was out of town, he took his go XLR and his laptop and his mic. What does that say? What does that say? Didn't you miss one because you like pooped for too long or something? Why did I miss a podcast? There was a really, yeah, you had it. Oh, I remember why I missed a podcast because I was looking at my car. Oh, Toulula. Well, there was that also time when you went snowing with chills. I hijacked this. Sorry, you guys.

I'm going to go be sick. Yeah, you are sick right now. I hope that Santa brings you lots of things. Santa's not bringing me nothing. He's not bringing me anything. He said, you're not. No, you're sick. And I can't get the flu.

I'm Santa. That's what he said. No, Santa's like, God. You can't get sick. Really? Yep. I didn't even know that. Well, that's informative.

Thank you, Grunk. I'm out. I love you guys. Bye, I see. Very Christmas. Very Christmas. All right. Bye,

Isaac. Dude, fuck that guy. Can you guys tell I haven't gotten like quality sleep, bro? My eyes hurt. Oh, dude, you know what you do? You need to run water in your face. That's what you need to do.

Bring water to my face? Like water, cold water, ice cube, put it all around your eyes. Like, I've been complaining about having that puffiness on my face for a while. one I started cutting out a lot of sugar two I do not allow light when I sleep and three I have a lot of water and less sodium and I and you just get better sleep kind of like that way well I have a lot of water using my

okay sorry I was good I was good putting like this but no I do drink a lot of I've been drinking a lot of tea and like um right just that in general like yeah the last time I had well no actually that's also because for a few days is also not yesterday or the day before

but like for a few days before that I was drinking a lot of fucking Chapolet with coke and you know that's telling you man the sugar the sugar is not good dude yeah we need more studies we need more studies on like aspartame and sugar and all that stuff that's what we need well we need we need more

public humiliation drinking coke dude the fuck get the fuck out of here get the fuck out of here get the fuck out of it This is a water party, dude.

Get the fuck out of here. Oh, you're drinking GamerStupp's brand risk using code group. Dude, you're fucking boss. Your boss. You're fucking awesome. Come on in, dude. Come on in, brother. I want to hear more on your creative thing that you were saying.

Oh, yeah. I was, uh, communication. Yeah, communication. I think that, I think that like creativity and art is, is supposed to be a really good way of invoking feeling, right?

And like, you are able to, Sometimes people have a really hard time getting their words out for what they're actually feeling. So it's sometimes just easier to draw it out, paint it out, sculpt it out, whatever. Yeah. And yeah, I feel like with creativity being, uh, I feel like people nowadays, there's a lot of creativity, but I also feel like a lot of people are lacking creativity at the same time. Well, there's a lot of spread of like, you know, there's a lot of like, like, it's fun and reason idea and like, you know, sort of build. off of something else, but if you're

without... Dude, what if we ran out of original ideas and we're just fucked? Like, what if, like, no one can think... I don't think that could ever happen. Huh? Dude, he said, that can never happen. I don't think that could ever happen.

I thought that I came up with the name soft Willie. I was like, dude, surely no one said soft Willie. No one came up with that. Turns out motherfuckers on Instagram or whatever. People say, you know, people, like, you gotta think about it. Like, people who say Willie, right? You never had an original thought, bro. I'm sure they've said it.

Bro, I think, like, pretty much every single sentence is the first time that sentence has ever been said ever which is pretty that's pretty original so there's that one ticot account that's like they say some weird they say some crazy shit yeah this is some shit that's like when you and your girl fucking but then a bee gets in the way and then the bee stings your dick and so then it it just it gets pretty crazy that is definitely that is definitely a one-time person sentence to say you're the second it is The whole account has been doing it for years.

I swear to God. It starts with the Q. It's like, Quagmire. I won't be able to remember. No, no, no, no, not Quackety. No, no, no, no, quick trip. No, I don't, no.

Casidia. But yeah, they've, they've, they said some sentences that are like, okay, I don't think I've heard that one. But yeah, it's just like, and another thing, too, it's purpose. It's like, what's the purpose of it? You know, for some people, they're trying to create artwork to bring attention or awareness to something they're, they're, wanting to get donations for right so then you think about for some people it's like okay let's think

about something that'll catch people's eyes or their attention um actually like commercials commercials are meant to sort of uh you know invoke something in you so that you associate a feeling with a product that's the purpose so when you when you see those stupid AI fucking co commercials like like they're trying to make you feel cool but but the way of doing it using AI like totally strips that away So you got to think about it all. Grunk. I was watching one commercial. I forget what it was for.

So failed a commercial on that aspect. But it was like just so saturated. Like it was so bright and like here's this freaking product, dude. Look at the screen. It's so bright and make all of your dopamine fly off the charts. Dude, it should teach you that like also how much effort and how much, how quality it is. does not entirely mean it's not equal to the reception

or you know if you put more effort and more qualities or something does not always mean that it's going to be more views or more whatever the fuck because I always think about fucking Fushigi and that ad was made on like Venice Beach with like a shitty-ass camera

and hella acting that she was made with lies that she was made and crafted with pure lies it was a marketing game in which here I am in 2025 thinking about Fushigi in the commercial that was the craziest lake of 20, 2000s early 2000s

Yeah, and like, dude, I'm like... Good point. Dude, that worked. Can I say something real fast, too? It's kind of crazy because we're at a point now where... And I saw a tweet about this. Someone was saying that a lot of companies are dumping money into making AI fucking ads or whatever commercials that Porsche made their own hand-drawn custom, like, ad that they did.

And people were treating it like it was so fucking amazing because like the bar went from like it being that to then everyone going to AI and they stuck with that so now it actually looks like they're actually high quality and premium again. It's like, what the hell? No, that's true. That's separating a thing because if you think about it, if AI is being marketed as like, if you want to be creative but never had the means to, you could do it now. Dude, Mark Cuban said some shit. Did you see that on Twitter perchance? Sorry to cut you off. Yeah, Mark Cuban was like, now is the time. I'm actually going to find out what he actually said, but he was basically in a paraphrased form advocating

for it and yeah that was good that was really good I like that oh yeah yeah yeah oh yeah yeah yeah well dude damn Mark Cuban you tweet so fucking much dude you tweet like four times in the last hour

get off these burger nothing they do nothing at all Mark Cuban you're actually a fucking burger like what the hell dude all he does is tweets about basketball and occasionally AI God damn, you know?

Like, what the hell? Oh, what a live to do? Okay. What a live? I think I found the... Okay, here. He said, creators should love AI. AI doesn't make uncreative people creative.

It allows creators to become exponentially more creative. Creative iteration that used to take hours, days, or weeks can happen in minutes. The different rounds you wanted to take, but didn't have the money or skill to do, now you can do. The number of gatekeepers drops every day and we'll eventually hit zero. If you know how to tell a great story, you will love AI. And it's like, dude, like, tell the story for me. It's just a TLDR. Like, I understand the angle that he's trying to come from.

But at the same time, it comes off, like, you have to, like, basically what he's trying to say is that he's dumbing down creativity to, like, a churning out rate. Like, sort of, like, how quickly can you or, like, you're able to? It's, like, creativity and art does, the whole point of it is, like, it's, at the it's like what the creator and like at their flow and how they do things and it's like yeah i don't know it's just a dumb fucking take it was just such a stupid take well that's that's that's also to mean that like only the final product matters and none of the process matters because we've i mean i love collecting books and shit like i was talking about the other

a few podcasts ago buying the cup head um behind the scenes you can see all the drawings and all the iterations and even like secret bosses that never made it to the final game or things like that because process and showing process is a super cool thing as well that people are attracted to like I think that like everyone loves looking behind the scenes of like your favorite thing because you're like how the fuck was this thing made or why or whatever the hell you know but if but if everything in the fucking world became like what's the behind the scenes and all it is is fucking prompts it's like bro put a gun my head dude yeah like what's your AI literacy and how well are you able to get it

to describe what you want. It's like, how detailed are your prompts? Dude, you don't fucking get it. The way I talk to these bots, they just get me, bro. Like, I'm going to make a course on how you can talk to a bot. My fucking ideas were so good already.

And like these bots just take it to the next level, bro. I feel like it's... Go ahead. I think I talked about it already, but how my freaking school's doing an AI ethics course. like you needed to graduate now that makes sense though i think that makes sense i'd rather that i inherently believe always that a human made song and someone that actually like took the time

there are people that just make songs just for bullshit right like like you have so many family members that like well not no that's cap i've only had one instance actually but it was kind of funny it was just like uh showing me that they were making music i was like oh that's cool and And then it was like AI music, I was like, oh. Yeah, it's like, you know what it is? It's, it, I, it almost comes across like it's an excuse or like it's a reason not to fully learn it, but you're able to do it because you have the ability now. And it's like, I don't want to call it like, it's almost like having bumpers on when

you're playing, like when you're bowling, but also like, I don't know, it's just kind of like weird. It's just, I don't know. I just don't agree with it personally. That's all. I just don't think that it should kind of like fuck with the creative shit. like it's always going to be used for something but not every tool

needs to be used for everything the problem the the fucking problem is generation that's what it is generation like even the word AI got skewed so bad because of how because it was already a word I mean it was already thing let's think about like fucking the AI of GTA 4 and how the ragdolling AI was like or the

NPC in the way they reacted like that's AI that's all bot or like it's all a system put in place so that it reacts to this like ever changing character like bro I remember I remember when like AI, like artificial intelligence back before, this was back before COVID, actually, I remember hearing some, some girl that was working on an AI project. Like I was talking with her about it and she was talking about how she put like a thousand lines of code down and that she's training and machine learning this, this computer for like, so it was a tool, right? But like the way that she was, I was like, oh, that's fucking sick, right?

Like that's awesome. Like you're able to use it for like actual usage and tools. And now it's like, dude, we're sitting here making AI. images of a cat and a dog playing basketball. Again, generation. Yeah. Generation. Generation is a death of us all.

Well, Generation. I don't think it's going to be the death of us all if we turn it around now. Turn around. We aren't going to. We're going to. We are not going to. We are the group.

And we are. Yeah, you got that right. We are. We are. But we are the group. Can I say something cool? Yeah. Okay, hear me out.

Need everyone up. Hear me out for a second. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, wait. Wait, it's fine, it's fine. Okay, listen. Ready? Okay. Larry, hear me out.

Drop the walls. Everybody listening right now. Drop the walls for a second. Open her mind. Okay. I'm opening the cover. Now, I'm giving the sauce because I don't even know if it's sauce. I have no idea how it's going to taste.

It might taste awful. But, bro, hear me out. A chrome can. and it's called, remember this? Remember this? I talked about this a game receipts can. I took off the thing. Now imagine you had a drink, right?

Your whole thing, this is the branding. There's nothing on it. It's literally called chrome can. And you decipher, disinguished. Maybe you had like something underneath that can tell you what it is or whatever. But like the different flavors are like talked about based upon the cap top.

And like it could just be started with like water because you know how like liquid death started. It was like, whole marketing thing to kind of look like beer and whatever else to kind of like it was like to just kind of make it was like it was like super metal yeah I just water you know what it is

yeah it's just it's a sparkling water yeah they have like different things they have like teas and stuff like that too but I thought it was at least energy but they made they made water in cans cool or spark water cool it's like dude wipes yeah yeah it's like dude

I'm not using baby wipes what the fuck You're gonna fucking do I'm not drinking Girl drink What you said to me? What you say wrong? I'm good I just said I'm not drinking LaCroi that's for girls

There you go You're drinking fucking Liquid Yeah I'm drinking I'll take one liquid death Please Yeah

So Yeah I was thinking Hey man What if we made Chrome can Or someone made a chrome can And listen The marketing tactic

Is that it's a fucking chrome can That's it there's nothing on it it's called the chrome can bro what are you drinking I'm drinking a chrome can down below would you guys

would you guys drink the from the chrome can which if you saw that in the store you'd be like yo what the what the hell is that yeah what is that I think first impression would be like yo they forgot the label

bro what the fuck yo and then you're like oh wait that's the that's the crom can you're laughing

that's the chrome yeah but like yeah but like the ad the ad The ad is that it's just a Chrome can. I'm drinking Chrome can. I was saying, I was saying we call it Chrome, but then I feel like Goo Goo would be pissed at us or something.

Google. Oh. Google Chrome. Mirror. Chrome can. But then again, like surely they wouldn't trademark for like beverage and food. Just hope. And I pray like if Chrome can got into stores,

I just hope that people don't follow suit because then it'll look like, there's a scene I saw in a movie where it was like bowl, bowl, spoon, spoon. Like nothing had a brand in. it. It was just like, that's what it is. Oh my God. Yeah. Everything just is like a pastel color with nothing. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, dude.

Stopean to me. Yeah. Wait, what if that's like, what if this is like the intro to like dystopian level, no branding shit? Yeah. The chrome can. Willie brings it. Willie ushers it in. Dude, I was just thinking about it.

It's like, bro, like what can set you apart? Okay. Instead of having something flashy, you have something that is generic as hell and that's the marketing. And you just like, Okay, let's just say I wanted to be water. The lid at the top can be blue. Like a nice...

Yeah. Like, you know what I mean? Like, okay. Okay, it sounds easy, but you got to think about it too because... Thinking. Let's look at Amazon Basics. Because Amazon Basics is a very, very simple look. Because it's literally just...

They always use just a flat color and they just put Amazon logo and basic. It's the basics. It's all it is. It's just the basics. It's like core. It's like core color, core drop. Yeah. It's like Amazon core.

Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. So you got to make sure that. it doesn't fall into that in a sense because you still want to kind of expand it but like... Yeah, but it starts with the chrome can

and it can just go, bro. We can, we can, I haven't thought, I haven't thought past Chrome can but I will say, I think it's fire. Let's ask the folks, if y'all saw a Chrome can, would y'all fucking look at and be like, detach it from Willie,

detach it from Willie. Detach it from Willie. Detach it from Willie. You just saw it. But again, keep the mind open to it, right? Don't, don't raise those walls back up because the Chrome can idea is already beyond those walls.

There's no point in putting it back up. It's already out there. It's already infiltrated in the, in the, yeah, so no point to keep the walls down. Would you get really fucking pissed of someone from this podcast when it just did it? No.

Oh, really? Really? No, I don't, it became like huge. Like, humongous. I mean, I mean, I think, I think that if someone were to kind of steal it and take it, I don't, I don't think, I don't think that they'd.

No, no, no, no, no. Well, that's like, yeah, that's my version of, like, a girl playing with her hair or something. Like, I mean, like, I'm thinking, if we're talking billions, well, I don't think someone would pull a Michael Jackson on me. I'll just pull, I'll just say it that way. Okay. What that basically, uh, what that means is that Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney did not own his publishing rights to all of his music. And so Michael Jackson, after Thriller exploded, he basically had so much money. He bought the publishing company for the publishing rights to Paul McCartney and Elvis.

songs and stuff like that but he asked paul mccartney first he's like are you going to buy those songs and he's like nah i'm not going to you ask multiple times so he bought it and then paul mccartney was like yo can i have my songs and and michael jackson was like not it's just business bro it's just business and then and then he he made like i think a quarter of a billion dollars annually from like songs that oh yeah so he was like he's like yeah it's just business It's just business, bro. Look at my son. Oh, my God.

That's crazy. I didn't even know. That's so cool. Yeah. There's actually, there's a lot of, like, there's a lot of, uh, history about, like, Michael Jackson owning a lot of the Beatles music. It's crazy. That's, that's, that's a flex. That's like better than like a chain or something, dude.

That's a, like a, I own the Beatles music. I own the Beatles. Like, I own the Beatles catalog. Camden actually just got, um, I think it was, uh, Paul McCartney's, uh, uh, uh, uh, margarita recipe Like his personal Margarita recipe Personal Margarita

How did you do that Who gave it to him? His girlfriend's mom Knows this business owner Who had access to it Or something Okay Dude what

Yeah Okay Who really knows It's pretty crazy Also give me a second boys I'm gonna grab a can Yeah I look cute

Like I said I'm like Yeah you're good man You're good Dude Grunk I feel like we could We could totally

Wait to talk about this with Larry but I for the listeners in the audience at home last night I had a very interesting dream um oh yeah I for some reason I was offered to smoke meth in my dream and I did and nothing happened at first I think I don't remember too much because it's a dream you know how like that shit happens or it's like in the morning you remember and then over time it's just like a distant memory disappears yeah so I think at first I didn't like smoke it properly and then I remember at the very like near the end of my dream

I smoked it properly and all I saw were like shapes and rainbows and shit so I think grunk and I are gonna start a channel together and we jack and nick reviews of why are you guys doing meth why are y'all oh what the hell how'd you hear that drugs bro I have headphones are they wireless Dude, wireless headphones are so good. My head, my hat, Santa is on. What if I just use these headphones and said goodbye to the GoXLR? This, hey, vibe.

You know what? This is an overrated ass thing. I'll be honest. ShereSm7B is great. I like the post-production of it. Oh, wait, no, no, no. It's a really good mic. It's a really good mic.

It's underrated as hell. This Shurrism 7B? Yeah. Well, there's no other company that's made another like GoxLR-esque shit. Like, well, maybe. maybe I'm lying here but you know not that I know of

at least not marketed to gamers don't lie bro because it's usually like a lot of like podcast stuff and like ugh you don't like podcast stuff no I like podcast stuff

but we're the gamers are the gamers gamers are getting shit on guys ram's going out this is these going up everything's going up everything's going on man yeah

fucking is dying in new ways in ways thought impossible and then steam comes along and then the steam box saves everything and then Gabin comes along and Gabon gives everyone in the United States $100. Wait, let's think about this for a second here.

Everything is going up in prices for PC games. But now Gaben comes in and sells this. Oh, no, because they're being fucking held back because they don't even know if they can afford making. There, man. Well, I will say, you know, we talked about this on the last podcast, I believe, or the one before, about RAM prices going up and stuff like that. And that's because, again, Micron is going essentially, they're not selling to retail anymore. my boy

but that's also going to affect potentially affect SSD prices as well now storage devices because solid state drives and end up two drives boom

flash all that flash ship I'm never upgrading my computer again dude you're going to fall behind dude either one or two things are going to have to happen number one gaming is going to have to be really optimized

like how they used to be which is honestly yeah we need that we need that dude like why is Call of Duty like 300 400 like gigs, bro. I saw a stupid

ass tweet that was like the the apparent game size for GTA6 that appeared on the game where I don't know if it was like the Xbox store, the PlayStation store 600 and something gigabites and it's $150 for the game

even. Isn't it like a hundred 50? Wasn't it like 150 Larry? Larry, fact check that. Larry, how much is GTA 5 going to be? GtA 5 going to be? Gtay 6. Oh, no. It said, I think it was a joke tweet, but it said 600 and something gigabyte.

No, no, no, how much money? How much will it cost? Oh, I'm pretty sure it's going to be like 100 bucks. That's, it's like the design of video games, dude. Well, dude, okay, I can see all the rumors. These are all rumors. So please, for the love of God, listen to me. It's a rumor.

80, when you open the game. Let me say this, no, no, let me say this was a rumor. No. Rumor. I heard GT6. It's going to be 600 gigabytes. Guys. Fuck you.

And to that I say, fuck you. Bad, bad news. Guy in the back. But look, there's apparently going to be even like systems where you can make your own beats in the fucking

game and like make your own, they have like an own doll system. They do? Yes. Wait, dude, I thought about that. I was like, dude, you can make your own shit.

And it's a whole bunch of people who don't know anything about making music and to make music in GTSA6. And then you can make music and put it in the, GTA radio maybe. This is crazy. And also with like, you know, it's just, yeah, that's just what it is. And hey, what if this is completely out of my brain now,

but like since, you know, streaming is so prevalent, what did they introduce streaming in GTA6, but like in the game itself? And you become an influencer in GTA 6? It's insane. This is, I can't imagine. This is what I mean.

You guys remember cyberpunk and what happened there? But this rock star is different, though. Guys, I'm a fucking. chud. I'm going to say it. I'm a chud. Why? Because I just realized something. I went to the gym in this hat. I went out and I left the fucking tag on. Brokey clawed.

Brokey cloth. Dang it, dude. Nobody told you. Nobody told you. Nobody told you. Nobody fucks with you. I got recognized twice today and not one of those chuds told me. They probably laughed at you. Yeah. One guy I met in the bathroom, and I recorded a video of me saying hi to his girlfriend in the bathroom.

And then the other one, it was just like a quick, hey bro, love your videos, and it was in Walmart. Oh. So, dude, yesterday, we were out of the domain and like that was going to work. That was so funny. Dude, what's up, dude? I was like, we were like, oh, yeah. What's up, bye? Yeah.

Yeah, that was awesome. And then, yeah, Larry, Larry forgot something. Larry forgot something, and you had to run back to go to the place where we ate at. Remember Yard House? Yes. Yes. Yes. Oh, the food.

I had a steak. Y'all, is it bad for me to have a... I had a little steak at like, I don't know, 1 p.m. Ooh, it's Christmas Eve, bro. You can do whatever. No, no, yesterday. No, it wasn't today. It wasn't today.

It was yesterday. That's pretty chill, actually. I feel like that should be more normalized. Can you name Harvey into cow? Dang, I was about talking about Harvey. I can't tell who that is. That's Harvey. That's Harvey.

How are they taking the new... Because we haven't even said this and we're 40 minutes into the podcast. You're at your fucking old place, bro. Yeah, I'm at my parents' house right now. You're in the bedroom. Yeah, this is where I sleep. This isn't my classic location.

That's where you live. That's where you live for 20-something years. Cap. Oh, yeah. Sorry. We got you didn't live there your whole life. um but they they like don't get along well i should say the other animals don't get along with them like it felt so bad because like one of the cats rosy bro she like

pushed harvey into a corner like he just he just doesn't know how to defend himself like i just felt so bad he was so scared he's not used to conflict bro no not at all and he was like he just kept getting closer and closer to the corner whenever he was finally backed in bro he was just like his ears went back and he started hissing and it's just like no he doesn't know what he better stop yeah dude that's how I thought I was going to be like New York

when everybody was like warning me they're like don't look at nobody to keep your head down if anyone comes up to you and says they want to give you a CD or a photo don't say no I was like okay right I'll follow what you say yep it's a very real thing bro

other than that they're pretty good um yeah just like that they're so limited to like two rooms. They got my room and the spare room to do whatever in. Oh, I see. That's fun. Because the dog will freaking chase them. And like she tries to be

so scary to them. And it's like so unnecessary. She goes like her scariest sound that she could ever make. Like she never makes that sound normally. She only does it because it scares the shit out of the cats. Fucking asshole. Yeah. That's what it's doing. But she's chill with

other cats. So. Yeah, but it's like anytime that mookie chases, my cats, they're going to run. So it's like a game type deal. God. Sorry, y'all. It's so weird. Larry, you got a thing. You got a thing, bro.

I've developed something. It was not a good idea to, like, really have that thing about, like, trying to burp your burps out as hard as you can and all that for years. What? Oh. Because now it's just a bad habit. It is a bad habit, bro. Every time I have a burb. I used to, when I used to burp, you know, I was like, I was like, all that.

keep it in you know like be polite but now it comes up and I'm like burr and then it registers

and I'm like oh my bad it's so funny because we'll be outside and he'll just do it and just keep walking as if nothing happened or like we'll be at

Cabo Bobbs and it's like anyway I was like I think it happened in one of my one of my vlogs recently

where we are Cabo Bob's and you just burt out loud it's like mid conversation I'm talking in it burr not bad

anyways manners it's a film it's all right I'll fix it hey 2026 resolution y'all 2026

yeah I feel like 2026 is good stop burping out loud stop burping out loud like fuck like damn like shit 20s 5 dang tell us over

we're gonna have to do a resolution or a reflection I know what my I know what my want for 2026 is going to be what what's it going to be

I want the group to take off again and I want the group wait a minute you just said that at the very beginning you're like invest now and now you're going I wanted to go I hope well no no no I'm investing into the group right we all are so I want to make sure that you know because I feel like sometimes we don't entirely I think the point of the podcast like it's great to have a podcast because we're able to kind of like convey what's going on behind the scene sometimes or so people can see a little bit more about us so it's like you you know Larry that like I I've been very very on top of like making sure that that things are, you know, and you too, getting, you know, things done and, like, making sure that we've got plans for the, you know, the new year. And, like, once, once January first

hits, we are immediately recording for the group stuff. And, you know, it's a lot of, like, behind the scenes of, like, working with editors to make sure that they can stay on top of the footage for gaming and then, uh, and then for the main channel. So just a lot of planning. And, uh, I'm, I'm just happy that we're finally at a point where, like, we're all ready to do that because and structure i think structure in our lives i was talking to my my sister and my mom my brother today and i was telling them i'm all about it because i was telling them that like hey you know scheduling's going to be a little bit different next year because it's going to be a bit ahead and that's also going to mean that like if you guys need to schedule any sort of like you know

if my nephew say my nephew's graduating and you guys want to do something let me know so that i can tell the guys and then we can plan ahead and things like that so it's like that's another aspect of it too and listen are there anyone who's a I don't even think anyone who's like a big creator listens to us hi but you know I think in life I think not even this

field of work but like I think in life in general like having a good sense of schedule or like knowing how to plan yourself ahead of time about things and I don't know it makes I know does that resolution start

after this podcast or does it start? No, 2026, bro, 2025, bro. I'm just asking. I was just asking. Um,

um, um, um, um, um, um, damn you, damn you.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Excuse me. That's good. My brain actually like cleared up after that. Wow.

Um, you were just talking about having a good schedule. Your own good structure in this field of work or in any form of work. Yeah. Well, in life in life in general. Because like it makes, it makes moments like when you're when you're actually relaxing and you've done the things you need to do. I mean, it's just like an, I'm staying in obvious. And I know it's one of those things that everyone gets, you tell it to yourself or someone tells you.

And you're like, I know, I know. I know. And it's like, you know, then the next thing is I act. I act. I act. I act. I know I act. and yeah yeah it's always like a lesson to learn in life it's a thing of making sure that the things

that need to get done get done first and then do the things it's a priority thing it's a priority list it's a thing of you know yeah and it makes the moments when you're hanging out with people sweeter or better or more focused more concentrated you're not thinking about something else you know all that kind of stuff yeah so it's just good practice right and also you never let like, you know, you never want to do the thing where you're like, you do something, you make a mistake and then let's say it happens again, you never want to be like, well, that's just how I am. Yeah, you can't, you can't settle, bro.

No, yeah, you can't settle for that thing. It's settling, but it's also keeping the mindset of people have to just accept you for your actions and that's just it. You're able to write it off. I'm stuck in my ways, dude. Like, dude, that's why like old people do that are like, yeah. I know, dude. It's like, there are those people, there's like those cool old people that are like very,

like their mind is still moldable and they're able to like adapt to different things. And then there's like the hard stuck old people that are like stuck in their ways. And it's like, dude, I wonder, I wonder at what point they decided to be that way or if they were like that their whole life. Right, right, right. You know, because you know, it's, it's interesting because you are right. There are old people who are out there still changing. Still, you know, they're molding. They're still different.

learning. Dude, I'm not going to lie. Sorry to cut you off. But like some of the, some older people, like older, like, I guess like one of the quickest references I can think of is like older people who are in like gay, like gay couples, right? Or like lesbian couples, but they're older, right? And so like they were especially open mind. I love older gay men.

I don't know why. They're just so cute. But it's like the point is is that their mind was very open in a time where like they weren't entirely allowed that. Oh, yeah. They were ahead of the Dude, they put money in Bitcoin When Bitcoin was like a fucking thought

Yeah Money to love Exactly Yeah, they invested into love coin I mean You're right In a society where it was not accepted They were still

They were willing to go with it They were still willing to Take the bullets from people Who were just shooting Yeah Especially the ones that are very prideful Or especially the ones That are very open about it

Right? Like that kind of like you're allowing yourself that it kind of acceptance or like the thoughts of like yeah different i was just i was uh just reading into uh because i've been listening a lot to wam recently because you know it's christmas time and i was listening to a lot of wam and then i got into like um george michael who's one of the singers of uh in wam actually the singer in wam i guess you could say oh no i shouldn't put no disrespect but great voice great voice and he was very closeted for a long time

because of pressures of you know like their music had a very female audience so they were so he felt that like and also he was told to kind of keep it on the hush hush because it's like we can't lose this shit and whatnot but then came out later and now it's like

dude now it's now it's like it sucks but he would have been fine and it's like fuck and yeah I don't know it was just a thing that I was that I looked into recently and I was like wow I didn't know that. That was something. Because when you look at, like, a lot of WAMs, like, music videos or album covers, I'm, like, I'm looking at George Michael, and I'm like, hmm.

Does this resonate with his true self? Yeah, exactly. Dude, and I feel like one thing that needs to be realized is that, like, change takes time, and it's so gradual, and you may not even notice that you are successfully changing for the longest time, but then you look back after, like, a couple years, you're, like, dead. wait yeah I look he like yeah have done a lot one of like the biggest indicators for change is when you look back at yourself and cringe yeah you're like very like dude I'm like a whole different person you know like I think one another pretty good gauge if like people listening or if you guys like if you were in relationships and like the past and like years past right and then you like think back at how you were that relationship and you're like I wonder what

happened if we met again just like to converse have a conversation yeah it would be like when I think about that I'm like holy shit that's like I'm a totally different person yeah like I think differently I I act differently I you know and I never had bad intentions then but like or even now right it's just you just are a different person right yeah and it doesn't always like I think it's very easy and like it's a lot easier to look back and you're like but it doesn't always have to be that it's like when you look back it's it's a negative thing where because sometimes I look back in myself and I was making like stupid jokes but I think of it like cute I was like oh yeah

I remember that time. That was cute. I was like, aw. You know, it was just like, awe. And then I want to like

retell the same jokes now. Like, dude, we used to think my name is Jeff is funny, bro. Like, like what? It's still funny as shit,

you know, we used to. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. But if Jim, but like, you still like actually laugh

at that shit. Yeah. Dude, remember, he reacted to my name and Jeff Compilish. No, no,

no, no, no, I was like, Jinks. Yeah, that's what I meant. That's what I mean.

Oh, not Batman. No, Spider-Man. Nah, yeah, grew up. How the fuck do you do that for so long? Yeah, for the listeners that are not sure we're talking about, look up, jinx, reacts. My name is Jeff compilation. Dude, I used to watch them, like, for real.

No, me too. I'd come home to school, put on some jigs. It's about that time for my daily dose of vats. Oh, my God. Splendid. Splendid. Splendid. So.

Yeah, guys. I've been going through a lot of old YouTube shit as well. Like, I love it. I love it. Old Lego animations. Lego pizza delivery. I love it.

Lego. Lego Raygun where this guy is like showing off. He's like, dude. And he's able to reload it and shit. Yeah, he has a battery in it. And he's like reloading it.

Dude, I watched the Lego Thundergun video. Someone built the, you know what I'm talking about? Oh, yeah. Same guy. It was the same guy, I'm pretty sure. I think he did the Wonder Waffle, too. The Wundervas.

He did all the, all the Colliery show. The Wundice. And I was like, like, I was doing puzzles. I was doing that puzzle I was talking about. And, like, I was watching, like, old WWE entrances and, like, the songs for them. I was watching Call of Duty outro songs

because they would always, like, you would die. You hear, like, the laugh track. Yeah. And then you're like, do. And I was like, oh, dude. Because every map had a different song. Yep.

Oh, wow. It was just like, wow. Wow. Fucking amazing. The games used to matter. Is that crazy? Games mattered. Yeah.

And like, everything had some sort of color in it. And like, that's, that's another problem. It's like, things just, things are a little dolar. A little, dollar. Just a little tiny bit dolar. Now you got Fortnite, though. Oh, yeah. Now you got Fortnite, though.

It's like, I wonder, I'd be thinking about, like, what we're nostalgic for than what today's kids are going to be nostalgic for. Right. I'm just curious. Dude. Dude. It's crazy because like...

Season one Fortnite. Yeah. Well, I'm nostalgic for that. Are you? I'd say so. Season one Fortnite? It's like... Yeah, I was on that shit.

Dude, nostalgia for me's Halo Reach, MW2, Black Ops 2. I missed that by a hair. Yeah, you did. You look, he did, bro. I'm not going to lie. I think that I'm a part of the generation

that had an amazing childhood. Like, amazing things were happening when I was a kid growing up. I had like all the colorful Christmases that you'd see in like early 2000s, whatever, all the fun toys, all the technology was growing, all the fun games, whatever. And now adulthood kind of loki sucks. Like, like, you yeah, dude, you grow up with like amazing childhood and then adulthood happens and it's a fucking shit fest nowadays. It's crazy. I feel like everything, like there used to be like, okay, here are the good games, like GTA, call of duty, uh, um, six. Hymns, Halo.

And now, and now it's just like, it's oversaturated. It's oversaturated and people are trying to hit formulas that the old games like did and it's like, oh God. There's not no like true originality. That's actually why I don't like YouTube as much for like what it is, bro.

I was telling Larry that like one of my most recent vlogs, because it's so long, it's actually performing better on YouTube simply because it's keeping people on the platform longer because of how long it is. It's like, wow. It's like, dude, what happens?

Dude, I get the whole, like, if you have a good video, it works. We should have to be rewarded for something like that. It's like, that's, that's YouTube forcing its hand, by the way. That's like what's forcing people to do specific types of shits. And that's why, like, I'm careful and I select what I want to watch depending on just how I, you know, what I have an interest in and also like how I, you know, because even like videos that are very long, something can be like still slop. Like, bro, essay videos, low key, lost their charm for me. because now the way that the structure and like how they go about

some of these channels you can tell to inspiration there's one that was I watched I was like genuinely bad like I'm trying to remember what it was it was like a complete nothing Burger video bro you know what it is it's like they're like introducing something

because for me I watch sometimes like history type of videos or just like interesting things that happened in real life years ago and be like this is so they're talking about this type type of topic or whatever but they're like but in order to tell you that we have to go back 20 years and then the entire video

it's just telling you nothing it's just like it's leading up to like a two minute segment about what you are actually wanting to like learn about. Yep and so and dude I've been finding out too a lot of these videos are made with fucking AI a lot of them are like okay I watch

Fern F-E-R-N they do not make their videos with AI but there's video there's like YouTube channels out there that kind of like take inspiration or take creative like kind of like that direction of things and whatever the art style is but it's literally made with AI

and like the voiceover and like the art and every it's it's like and sometimes it's kind of hard to tell I'm not even going to lie but it's like dude you're so like sorry we need AI goggles yeah no dude

yeah I think that I think that we should just blow up and restart I think that, like, there is going to be some sort of reset at some point. And hopefully we are not in the storm when that happens. Bebo, babyo. Let me put in Fortnite turns. Holy cow. Dude, I'm down.

I'm not going to lie. I think I'm going to pee outside of my eyeballs soon because I have to pee so effing bad. They cry? You're going to cry. No, no, no. I'm just going to pee. I'm going to piss, like, really bad. You can probably wrap it up here.

No. We have to finish talking about Christmas. Christmas talk. So Tanner and Isaac are spending time with their families for Christmas. And so because of that, we decorated the house. They were there. Yes. A little decoration thing.

But I do want to talk about what's going to happen when they come back. Because I feel like I want to set a really good tone. Because what's going to happen is next week we're going to have our podcast recorded. And from there, immediately, effectively, the very beginning of the year, of 2026 we are starting like group recordings and stuff and from there it's going to be like we're going to be doing two recordings at least a month

for the group main channel dude we have some fun ass ideas can I like can I like spoil like one idea no come on I mean I had fine I guess not damn yeah no no let the comments eat out Larry wait can you make a hint

pause um can I make a hint or can I just say one I don't care man Okay We had a we have a really Audience we have a really fun idea Oh okay how about this I won't say specific ideas But the entire group agrees that

YouTube generic intro videos where it's like today We don't like those types of intros So what we're going to do for all of our videos Is we're going to do And they're not going to be like corny scripts, but we're going to do like acting to like that. They might be corny. They might be corny. It's going to be funny

as fuck. But like it's way better in my opinion than like some of these intros that we have planned out. I think that we can make like actually like cinema, cinematic in a sense. Like it would be funny. Um, okay. So for one of the video ideas that we have

I'm just going to say it. Can I just say it Larry? Yeah, dude. Go ahead. Okay, that does not sound like you want me to say. What? God. It's Christmas. Let's give them an early Christmas present. It's Christmas. It's Christmas for Pete's sake.

Okay, so we'll have a video where we're going to be handcuffed together for 24 hours or just like a day. And the idea that we had was like just the way that the whole video intro is going to be. It's like I could just imagine it's like the camera fades from black in and it's like above Isaac and me. Like close your eyes and imagine. and Isaac and me are laying in bed and there's a camera Okay, wait, that's real That's real

Isaac also doesn't know that yet So we might get pushback But, okay, close your eyes So the camera is above Isaac and me laying in bed We're clothed by the way And it zooms in on us And then the alarm goes off

And then it cuts to It changes, changes camera angle To Isaac trying to hit the alarm, whatever Yeah, exactly, that's what it's supposed to be It's supposed to be a cutscene And it comes back to us imagine the two black bars on the top and bottom right and it's like it's like and we both wake up and we look at each other and we see our handcuffed we're handcuffed together and we don't know why

and we fucking scream we're like what the fuck and then and then it cuts it cuts to tanner and larry cuddling in bed and they hear us in the background yelling screaming and then they turn off their alarm they wake i'm like oh oh handcuffed okay and then they cuddle each other back and go back to bed you know what i'm saying it starts with like fun little intros like that that then lead to like Isaac can be frantically It's just gonna be fun I feel like every intro

Has to have its own group flavor That like It's like smosh It's gonna be like smosh That is what I've been telling people It is literally just smosh skits At the very start Because that is exactly

Yep And I just feel like that's fun I feel like that's way better than Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah about um was how do you take because in a sense it's unfortunate but in a sense how we're

talking about earlier you had to play the game yep of youtube in order for it to kind of like work i guess like for the video that kind of work but how do you execute like how do you present it better than what it what is the meadow right now because like fuck the meadow for a second there yeah and it's like what you know so what what is this trash now is it like completely i guess original in a sense. No, because there's a lot of, a lot of people who've done it similar, but, but, but I think the start and the striation for it first is really cool. And then also, like, I do, I am really excited for how we're sort of, it's not really showing outside, but it's how we're doing it on the inside about how we're structuring everything in the sense of, like,

how we have projects being made and how they're being prepared. Yep. And all that stuff. That's exciting for us because I also want to record some still like behind the scenes of a lot quality stuff and then like and dude like the the group merch that we merch quote unquote I want to call like group like just like group memories right like when you think of like the memories for us like we have an idea for like man I don't want to spill all the beans so never mind I'm not going to say it you're no bro you guys you guys we're good listeners I know you're we're all very excited yeah it is a very exciting time and uh I'm not trying to pump fake bro I'm really not trying to pump fake because the group

group has just been full of funfakes, bro. I'm going to be honest. Like, I got to hold ourselves accountable for a second. It's been, it's been a lot of like, man, where are you guys been, man? And that's like one of the shittiest things I think about when I was a kid. I was like watching my favorite YouTubers. And dude, I was watching my favorite YouTubers on my iPod, my fourth gen iPod. And so it had the actual like YouTube, like the TV for YouTube. So I'd go in there and I'd always refresh my subscriptions box. And I'd always be looking through for new YouTube videos and like I would watch everything. And, uh, And I was so sad when these mofos were not uploading their shish.

And it's like, dang, dude, come on, man. You got to, you got to start doing that. So I'm trying to, like, always think, like, even though we know we have a lot going on in the back end, the audience doesn't see that, right? And so at the same time that we're always growing up, is the same time they're always growing up, and the same time that you stop watching favorite YouTubers the same way. They stop watching favorite YouTubers, even if it's you. And it's like, that's okay.

That's just the way life goes, right? but uh we also in growing want to like also grow our quality and i think that that's where these like fun intros are going to be because like again we have to accept the fact that one the group sucks at thumbnails and two the group sucks at intros for videos so knowing those also be another thing too that's like uh another tackle that we want to head towards because yeah that's another thing we don't um we prioritize too late and that leads to just like a panic and then that panic leads into just like all right let's just we just ship it out yeah so yeah that's another thing as well but um travel videos i also want to know that like these these things come with a purpose

like i was talking about how like earlier you know art is good with purpose and our purposes stem from like what's been going on around us as far as like the general culture of youtube and how people perceive YouTubers as well like I've seen people who are like and I get it too It's like very distressing of YouTubers and very distressing, you know, distressing of all these things, right? But, and I get it and I understand it, but I being in the position that we are, it's like, okay, well, let's think about what we can do in our shoes because we can't do something. And so what can we start with? Where does that, where can that lead to in the future and then so on so forth? So like with these videos, right, with intros.

And again, it starts with little things. like it starts with small things and you cover the bases and then you start leading into things that really actually on the on the front side of things start to so for example like on the super duper back in or whatever the fuck um and i've talked about it like a few times i just i just hate boring people but like i was talking about how like creating a template for our editors to work with so that the videos can come out quicker but still remain in quality yeah so like you just it's a lot of questions of answering like how do you do this how do you do that what's the fastest way how do you communicate better and all those things and so it takes some time trying out different things and

trying out you know and also like making sure that the editors don't feel like they're um working too hard with too little time or you know what i'm saying don't want to burn it now you don't want yeah yeah we're not fucking amazon here like we're not trying to fucking you know what I'm saying and so um yeah it's just that kind of shit it's like making sure that that the vibes and the culture here on the behind the scenes team is like cool and everyone's chilling and everyone's enjoying the work as well like are excited and as well as like we were wanting to put in a lot of effort too like dude I had a call with an editor and it was so cool it was just we bonded over so many things like that trust and that bond was so cool and I hope that that love

shows onto the videos as well because like Nick I think about the people who are coming from work or coming from school or just having a bad day and it's like okay I get to watch something from these guys and at least it's not going to be like slop and it's not going to be entirely you know

yeah you know whatever that would be so when I get an idea or like when I see an idea that one of us has either unique or somebody else then I think about like how can we present it in a way that like the idea

is just something different than then not the idea but like the presentation is something different than what other people have done and yeah yep yeah but it's crazy though

because like the quality and the bar was really high back then on YouTube I was looking at old videos and like some people were putting a hell of fucking effort and it's a lot of shit back then and my question is like can we do that

but can we do that even more and efficiently and things like that but you don't want to take it like when I think about again quality only it's things that you kind of give or take so it's like you can look at Mr. Beast

and you're like wow, all these videos are crazy, you know, they have so much team and so much editing. But then I also do look at like, it loses that charm though of YouTube. Like I know, yeah, that's the thing too. Yeah. It's like, like Mr. Beast, I know for example,

records with like the same cameras that we do because he wants to kind of keep that still YouTube kind of feeling. Right. I'm sure he probably uses higher quality stuff at the same time. But like for a long time, his philosophy was to keep using the similar cameras that we do and not up the quality because then it feels too product, like too much like a production.

but even then his videos have gotten so grandiose that like you know it's just like the bar is so fucking high you know so I don't know I feel like the landscape is always changing you've out you have all these streamers going all around the world doing world fucking tours now and yeah you know it's crazy insane bro you know you have streamers that are like pulling more music streams than actual artists now in the industry like the land landscape is just it is just sliding it's it's crazy it's crazy so it's we're just trying to we're not trying to do the the comparison thing because dude comparing yourself really truly is like it's the thief of joy and so like we we see

people in our space and we're like yeah I mean we wouldn't do that or yeah I mean that's that's pretty sick but at the end of the day we're always doing something that we want to do so yeah man it's kind of like clearing up again like we're looking at like what's to shop around YouTube because I look at my feet and I'm like dang a lot of these videos I don't really want to watch right um and like but there are some channels that I'm sure all of us have where it's like

they post and you're like oh yeah oh I'm watching that yeah I'm watching and I'm grabbing snacks too by the way and I'm going to food as well one of my favorite YouTubers for for a very long time his name was let me let me know L-E-M-M-I-N-O yeah yeah classic yeah but I was watching him when he was like he was called top tens

I'm pretty sure I forget when he was called yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah a bunch of top tens yeah he I think that's what he was doing right yeah yeah yeah like lists or something like that he was like top 10 this top 10 bad like yeah yeah I used to watch him a long time ago it was very nice it was very nice

yeah he always yeah so it's it's it's that sort of deal where but then but of course it goes back to like okay cool but then also consistency and frequency and like you're blending worlds of you have the world of fast posting but like low quality but then you also have the world

of high quality but low posting so then it's like it's like that Michelangelo you know painting yeah exactly so it's it's a little bit of that

and it's really interesting and it's really like because there's no studies in any of it or like there's no like tutorial or manual to show you how to do it so it really is a lot

of trying shit out and my god or there's so many fail fails um But it's cool because then you cross it off your list and then you move on. And then you have a list of things that you just know that did not work or like... I like to think of a lot of things in perspectives of a rocket ship.

So like whenever I do projects and stuff like that, if I'm working on like a big project with business partners, okay, so like I think of like you're building a rocket ship, right? So like if you're all, if you're trying to build the product, you're building the rocket ship. And then if are you even able to keep... Are you able to get it off the ground? If you're not able to get off the ground, project failed. If you're able to get off the ground, and then it collapses, it failed, right?

If you're able to keep it up in the air, but it takes a lot of maintenance, right? Like, I view the group in the rocket sense where, like, we were up, we were going, we were going, and then we needed to stop so we went back down, right? It didn't hardly crash, but like, we just, we brought it back down,

and now we're kind of like rebuilding it and we're, you know, figuring it all out and then we're ready to launch again. So it's like, I mean, we already have launched, I guess, from the videos that we have put out, but it's just constantly, like, I just now know that we're going to up the quality of that rocket.

It's going to be fired. excited i'm very excited i'm trying to kind of like uh you can imagine it kind of like the rocket launched and it's and then you know even if that launch didn't wasn't a spectacle but when it's in the air and it's like and it's changing in the air yeah this metaphor's not really working out anymore but essentially like you know people are looking up and they're seeing that fucking rocket ship and it's like and now there's more spectacle on the fact that it's up in the air and they've seen it and everyone's gathered around rather than the launch date right and you want that like I'm trying to think there was a recent example that I remembered seeing that, oh, actually, it was GTA.

The first GTA ever did not have amazing initial cells, but what was different from all the other games is that instead of plateauing, it got even more popular and it got even better or like it just got more hype over time because people were word of mouthing like this sort of thing. So like if the initial wasn't like a boom, the longevity of it was definitely becoming more boom. and there's a lot of um there's a lot of like nick drake who's a uh old guitarist folk singer kind of he unfortunately lived and passed um in a life where he tried to become a musician and he was damn good at it but he didn't get the recognition when he had when he was alive but then when he died he got that recognition because that music was made in a way that was like it just lasted a long time like it was just like you know that kind of deal and that can happen as well.

Like, just when you think about it in a sense of like, I mean, you don't have to think about it in the sense of longevity. I think when you're making stuff, you just want to make it. Like, you just make it. You just work in the moment of. But like, yeah, like some things stick, darn it not initial.

Other things are initially, but then they don't stick over time or vice versa. I remember I was in, I was in, it was gym, no, it was, um,

it was recess. It was indoor, indoor recess. So like after you have lunch in middle school, you go outside for like, 20, 30 minutes you play, right? You come back in. But it was raining out. So we had indoor recess back in our classroom. And I was able to bring my

DS. So I was playing Diaz. I was playing Pokemon Diamond with my one friend. But I remember watching this one kid, he brought his PSP and he was playing GTA. And I was like, I was like, what is that, dude? What the fuck? And I knew, I knew shooter games, right? Like, I had Call of Duty on like the DS. I had Call of Duty World at War on the DS. I had call of duty modern warfare in the ds so like i had call duty shooter games but yeah dude watching him play gta on a PSP was insane i used to think that PSPs were nuts like the clear like uh button

like they yeah i'm talking about they were clear the aesthetics i was like yeah yeah yeah the clear yeah i had one dude i had one with god of war and shit on it and i got in trouble because there's a scene god of war where you have sex and you have to press triangle square circle x and it gets harder and then there's more women going in the bed and you just boom It's crazy. It was a crazy mini game. That was a mini game? That was a mini game.

Holy cow. Okay. And like the, so you press like square and then you press circle and slow at first and you're like, what is, wait, what is slow? Like you actually just like doing it?

Like are having sex? Like they're having sex. Like they're like you hear like the moaning and everything. They're not showing it actually. But you see the bed fucking rocking. And then it gets faster and you hear more moans and then it's just like do do do do do do do do. And then boom, finish. And then it's like,

Gatos gets like a lot of health. Maybe, maybe they were, maybe they were just soaking. If you can only see the bed shake, maybe they were soaking. Maybe, maybe, maybe. Maybe. Or maybe they were just, maybe God of War. It's a Mormon game. Oh, who knows?

Hey, hey. I don't know. Hey. I'm just shooting. I'm just shooting the shit. Yeah, I'm just rolling the dice. I'm just throwing the dice. I'm just, I'm about to shoot fucking piss out of my Wiener if we don't get out of here right now.
