What's up Mike Wazowski enthusiasts. Welcome back to another episode of Trash Taste. My favorite Mike Rosowski. Yeah, you're all Mike Wuzowski enthusiasts. I'm your host, Joey, and with me is Garten Connor. You know who we are. Wow, wow, that was just like, let's just jump right into it. No wasting time, you guys know who we are.

We're fucking, how many episodes? 25 at this point, 26. Don't remind me, man. I don't even know. This is 25, I believe. I saw a brilliant comment. I think it was on episode 21 or 22 or something. Right.

That said, the top comment was like, how has it already been 22 episodes? It still feels like episode four. No, I totally agree. Like when, like, I can't remember how many episodes it was ago where I was like, yeah, we're just like a month into this, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It was like episode 18 or something. Yeah, I remember you said that, I was like, that math don't add up. 18 weeks and a month, you know? That's what it's felt like this year. Fucking hell. Yeah, but what are we gonna talk about today, lads? Well, this is the YouTuber episode.

So we gotta discuss some of our favorite YouTubers and just generally discuss YouTubers that we watch and ones that we want to talk about. Basically, we're just simping over other content cranes. Your favorite YouTuber's favorite YouTuber, who is it? Who's it going to be? Still want to bear in mind that we've said this before, but sometimes people forget it,

they have to come here to be on the podcast. No exceptions. I love all the comments which are like, but they have a TV. Yeah. You can just get them on a Skype call. We can talk about the Cali episode now, because that's out.

And all the speculation that they were like, oh yeah, she's just going to appear on the TV. And then we just fucking dunked on them and be like, JK, she's right here. Callie was indeed there. Oh yeah, I don't know if we actually prefaced in that episode because it's been like, what, four weeks, as all of us recording this that it came out,

but yeah, for the people who are wondering, she was physically sitting right here as well. Callie, that is. Callie was, yes. Yeah, so we just wanna- looking at me, because I, we signed an NDA. Yeah, yeah, we just want to preface that, like she was actually here.

Yeah. We can say we sign an NDA, right? Like, okay, we signed an NDA. We signed an NDA. Well, I think it's pretty obvious that we would have had to sign it. Is there an NDA on us signing an NDA? Or just wanna make sure,

what's the NDA level? How many NDA is deep- We can't disclose that we've signed an NDA. You can't say how it was done, but you guys know how it was done. Yeah, we did it. We did it, we nailed it. But I've had two hell, hell weeks, back to back.

Man, you have had the worst fucking experience on YouTube, I know, because this is a YouTube related thing, so we'll jump into the YouTubers after this. Yeah. So on the convention horror story episode, which is episode 23, I believe. 22.

Is it 22? Yes. Oh, wow. Okay. Well, I don't remember the episode numbers. Yeah. Well, that episode we recorded. Yeah, I spoke about getting hired for, to do the Samsung ad. And we're like, he-heed, that's funny.

I got undercharged. Turned out it was not he-he-funny, because the company fucking struck my video down. And it was just, oh my God. Like it was almost worse that they replied to our emails. Yeah. Because normally you just, if it's Sony or you know, it's a giant music company.

To explain, they, they content claimed your video, am I correct? Like, so they gave you a copyright strike. Yeah, they copy strikes your video, right? Can we copy strikes C.D. Normally, like, as a YouTuber, as, like, especially when you've done, like, from, especially someone in my position who's used anime footage, copyright strikes aren't anything new for me. But my normal, the normal thing is,

And I do is like reply to them being like, hey, this is like fair use and everything. And 90% of the time, they just don't reply because they're Japanese companies, they don't give a shit. So I've never dealt with a copy strike situation where they've just like, where they've just like, back to the up, actually. I almost wish they didn't because like, oh my God.

It must be hell. It was like this, I've never had like a more like rude company. Like, and like, you know, I don't expect them to be nice to me because they don't owe me anything. But you know, just being like, would be nice. You've had some seriously bad luck with cover. I mean like the whole like outro like music thing is all right.

All of my videos have been claimed twice. So I lost a lot of money on that. And then this one actually happened. But this one was just frustrating because they hired me. Yeah. So the ad that I'm voicing and they struck me for it. And that reason was because I showed the footage and in my Fivera gig that where they hired me right.

So the video was for people who don't know, I was doing a video where I was a Fiver Seller and I was a voice actor. And on my Fivera gig I said like, hey, anything you order will be used in the video. Right. Yeah. So I was like, hey man, you guys know that I was gonna use this.

Like, one, you should have told me, can you like at least give me the like, you know, because this is misunderstanding and whatever, like, you know, give me a chance to remove the footage. Because what, on YouTube, you can actually edit the video live so you can actually remove stuff. So we all, we all know, that's right.

Yeah. So I was saying like, hey, just remove the strike. It takes one button and I'll get rid of the copyright stuff right away, right? Right, right. Like, clearly this is not a big deal. Yeah. Like, let's just sort this out. And their response was like, we're too busy.

And bear in mind, it is one button. It is one button to remove the strike, right? But it's a button that's just so far away. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They replied with something along the lines. We have so many projects going on. We're extremely busy. Bear in mind, our email chain is like 20 fucking emails,

like that are huge, like this, this is bullshit. As if you're not busy, right? It was less buttons to claim the video in the first place. Like, what the hell? And I told them in their email, like, you could have emailed me. I would have removed it ASAP.

And they're like, well, we don't know that. we didn't want to deal with talking and all that. Cause to explain, there are several, like, there were several levels of copyright strike, right? You can just claim the content and give the content creator zero strikes. And then they, if you do that, then they can edit out the copyrighted material.

Which I would have done. Yeah, and which he would have done. No, but they went like the nuclear option. They just straight up gave you a strike, put a strike in your account, took the video down. Took the video down. And so you have zero control over the video. To explain to people.

And a strike is, I mean, I'm sure you all know this, but three strikes and your channel's gone, of copyright strikes. Yeah. And you know, I explained that to them and they were like, well, you know, not our problem. And I was like, well, I mean, kind of is because you're the one who did this.

And you know, it doesn't really need to be this way. And it's very easy to fix. And they just kept saying like, well, we don't really care. And it was just awful, just awful. And fuck, what else happened? God, I might have cut something when I think of the story. And so you, I remember you politely saying,

But you know, hey, like, you know, I probably need to talk about this on my channel. Yeah. So I told them like, hey, because they were just being so uncooperative and they were, even they were fine with the idea of me editing it out. But they kept saying, hey, just ask YouTube to do it. Just ask YouTube. The problem is, right,

is that YouTube as like, as it should be, isn't involved with this. It doesn't, it doesn't involve YouTube. They're just the ones who host it, right? It's not their problem. They're like, well, they kept saying, we've gone through YouTube, So why are you contacting us?

Go through YouTube system. And I do think they understood that YouTube tells you to contact them. Yeah. Because it's not their problem. Yeah. It's like YouTube is like you have to talk to them. So that's what we're trying to tell them.

And like, it's like talking to a fucking wall because they're like, they just don't get it. Yeah. I don't think they understand YouTube system very well. Not only do they not get it, but it's frustrating because they don't care to understand. They don't get it because they've got their result, which is the video down.

Yeah, exactly. You know, after like every, like, like, it's like 10 emails back and forth. Like we, like, I think Malyon even called them and they just kind of like shrugged it off. So just nothing's happening. So in the email we write saying, hey, well, I hate to like say this, but we're probably gonna have

to re-upload the video, which I am doing, and we're probably gonna have to explain in that video why it's been taken down, which may make you look bad. And they were like immediately responded with like, how dare you try and blackmail? We will, we will not, like, it was like, we will not entertain nor give in to blackmail.

I'm like, what are you, the US government dealing with terrorists? Negotiate with terrorists. That was literally the vibe of this email. It was so funny. It was so, we'll not take this slander. They went full fucking Karen mode, man. They're like, um, I am the victim actually.

How dare you come, you come to my house and you threaten me? That's literally the, they literally the full 180. We will never give it. We will never give it. We will never give it. Okay, actually, guess which is. this company's from.

I think it'll make so much sense. I don't know. Just think yes, what country do you think is super strict with rules? Top your head. I would think in some kind of Asian country, but really? European.

Russia? No, Germany. Oh, okay. We're following C rules. Yeah. That makes sense, yeah. And I tried so many routes, like trying to get this done through YouTube.

Like, I have even the company saying, like, hey, they don't care that, like, they are totally fine with me getting the stuff removed from the video and re-uploading it, but they just don't wanna do that. They don't wanna remove the strike. And so, as also, I asked Fiverr, I said, hey Fiverr, I know that I did use that footage,

and you know, it's up in the air, and if it's fair use and not, whatever, et cetera, et cetera. Fiverr, like, even though I was critical of them in that video, I did say that, I think it's wrong that Fiver takes, five takes a bit of the tips, which I don't think they should do. Right. And they also charge 20% on everything. And Fiver actually reached out on my behalf

to the company and asked, hey, we know this is like a problem, but hey, could you please put the video back up? Oh, so Fivera had you back. Fiverr backed me up. Oh, not nice. You know what they told Fiverr? What?

What? They said to Fiverr, we wanna keep the strike on his channel because he tried to blackmail us. That's what they told Fiver, no joke. That's what they told. Oh my god. This company was like just so petty, the whole way through.

It was so tragic. And so now I'm just re-uploading the video and just explaining. So do you still have a strike? Still have the strike, unfortunately. They want to remove it. But at least you're gonna like slightly, like, call them out

right in the video. Yeah, yeah, I mean, you know, you're probably not gonna say them by name, but still, I mean, it's, you know, if you look through the video, you can see the coming in the company. Like, it's that. Exactly.

I feel like, I don't know, because the way I've been conditioned as like, the way I was like taught as a kid was like, to get problems resolved, like, it's polite, you know, to ask politely and, you know, to conflict, to resolve conflicts in like an adult's manner. Yeah, be civil about it. Yeah, be civil about it.

But like, the more I'm on the internet, and the more, especially as a YouTuber, I just like, I've realized that to get problems solved and to get shit done, it's like, it goes against everything I was taught. The best way to get shit resolved is just go out into the public and go, fuck you! It's so true though, right? Because we've been conditioned now to like, to get a problem resolved

is to make as much fucking noise as possible. I'm gonna give you a new target to go up. Yeah, yeah. Sikim. It's unfortunate because like I, I, I always as a last resort, tweet about it or make it a public issue because like I, I just don't like it.

I think it's really- Because there's a part of you that makes you look bad, right? Yeah, I feel like an asshole being like, yo, but I got this following, you know? I'm gonna set the dogs on this one- Yeah, you know. Release the house. But like it feels like that's the only way

to get things done, especially when it's like, I love the fact that the official way to get problems resolved on YouTube is just to fucking at team YouTube on Twitter and just get people to report like retweet that instead of having like a proper chain of communication. No, you just gotta make as much fucking noise on Twitter as possible. It's not a last resort to add team YouTube.

It's just a requirement. If it's a YouTube problem, I'll add team YouTube. But like this, it was kind of that company. And honestly like their social media, I found their social media's and everything, they're really small. If I wanted to like make them known that it was like, yeah, I could have tweeted out and be like,

hey guys, go and fucking spam the social media asking to remove the strike. But yeah, I don't know, I didn't know, I just didn't want to do that. You don't want to use your power for that kind of stuff, right? And it's sad as well because like, you know, yeah, you could do that and that would be like,

I guess abusing my power, right? Yeah, but then also the only reason they aren't taking me seriously is because I'm an individual. Yeah, exactly, exactly. And it's unfair because they're a company and they think that I'm just a fly and that they can just swap me away every time,

which they just kept doing. And like, yeah, at any point I could have just made, like the thing is right, is that like you don't wanna say it, but you know, if people search for the company's name, you could easily make it so the stuff that comes up is pretty bad for. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Could I easily have done that, but I'm not going to, because I'm not an asshole. Yeah, you might be a flyer, but you're a flyer that's about six feet long. Like, it's gonna be a little hard to sort your way. It's just, it's like such a thing, because it's like, man, I really wanna fucking,

I really wanna abuse my power right now. Yeah. I really wanna fit to abuse my power right now to make your life hell, because you guys are being absolute ass-a-sigar in one hand. Let's get them. Yeah, it's like trying to find a right balance between like, I, I go my integrity.

You know, I wanna be a good person. person, but at the same time, it's just, the world is making it super fucking hard sometimes. And it's, you know, it fucking sucks that it's this way, but. I mean, it's just that like war between the, the traditionalist way of doing things and then the new age things of doing that, right? Because, you know, like, even if YouTube right now is such a massive thing worldwide,

technically speaking, it's only been around for, what, 15 years? Yeah, I mean, it's just, I feel like it's just the age of social media now, where people, it's, it is all about making as much noise as possible, even if you are someone very much in the wrong and like your logic is fucked, somehow some people are able to make more noise than the other person, therefore they are the right ones than they win in the end. And it's just like, it's a very, I would say backwards way, but it's just the way the world is now. I think it's just the hands that we've been dealt. Unfortunately with YouTube system, it's really sad that it only ever gives any benefit to the claimant.

So it's like you kind of don't really have a choice. And it sucks because people who do don't wanna do it. I mean like I don't wanna do it. Like I don't wanna make a fuss about it on Twitter. And I probably might have been able to get it resolved if I just made it hell for them. Like if I just, you know, bombed their social media. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But did I wanna find out? And would I have felt good about it? Like probably not. You don't wanna respond to that, right? Yeah, exactly. Yeah, it's horrible. Because the thing about, especially with YouTube copyright, is that there's just been like, everything has been mentioned

and everything that people say is all fucking guesswork. Because the thing is, there is no precedence. Because the highest level this can go up to, it's like... Supreme Court. It's like, cool, right? And that's only happened once

between one creator and one creator, which is like H3, H3, right? And that's been the only precedence about anything regarding YouTube copyright. We've never had an individual going up against a company. So nobody knows how that's gonna end up, really. I think because the company doesn't really want that

because it would look bad for that. And no individual wants to be the test. Yeah, yeah, exactly, right. Nobody wants to be the first. Yeah, because you really want to be that company picking on a singular dude and then that dude also rally the internet behind him. Like, you probably don't want that.

Like, you might win it, but you, everyone would think you're an asshole. Yeah. In that situation, kind of everyone loses. Like, there is no single winner at that point. No, no. Maybe the creator can come out of it on, if he's willing to go through it. Like the creator might come out with a lot of respect

and might get a lot of community support. And yeah, it could be worth it, but it's such a big gamble. Right, it could also completely go the other way around. You could also completely just ruin your life. Yeah, it could bankrupt you. Well, it could not only bankrupt that individual, but it could also leave an example for other companies

to start a business out. It's like, oh, well, they lost it in the court case, so let's go out and just fucking snipe down all these individual creators. Yeah, because fucking nobody understands, nobody fucking understands the law anyway. So it's, we, none of us really understand fair use laws.

How the fuck are the fucking jury gonna understand fair use laws? You know what I mean? So, so what, you used an anime girl? In your video and this company owns said anime girl, but doesn't actually own it. Yeah. It's like, yes, your honor.

Jeez, and it's a mess given how worldwide YouTube is. Like, how do you, how do you sue someone that's in like a different country with different laws? Yeah, exactly. You know, what if none of you are American company? Which laws are you using? Do you are using YouTube laws? Well, that's the problem, right?

Is that like- I'm not an expert, so I'd love to know. And I think that's why, like, at least, the majority of anime YouTubers who have been caught using anime footage in their videos, I've managed to get away with it, because in Japan, we don't have fair use laws. But in a, where YouTube is hosting, we do have fair use.

So it just never happens. The Japanese look at that and we're like, oh shit, well, I guess we're gonna back away now. It's probably not worth that time either to try and figure it out who they can do it. And it is an unfair system because it really, like, you really just fucks over any of the small creators. Oh yeah. You know what I mean?

And I feel like if you're a small creator, the best strategy you can go for is be friends like a bigger creator, you know what I mean? Because if you're in ever in any trouble, then you gotta rely on them to like make noise for you because you can't do it for yourself. And I can't really think of a better way to go about it aside from that.

Except just fucking giving up. There's literally no other way of going around that, right? Yeah, it sucks. Yeah, it's kind of unfortunate, because even like crater of our sizes, it's still difficult to get things fixed. I think the only creator's like, that could think of that would be able to get shit done

as like, Mr. Beast, because he's like, obviously, if YouTube's really friendly with you, they'll help you out. Yeah, yeah. they'll figure out a way to make it like, go away. Right, but it's like one out of how many million channels. That's the thing, right? There's like maybe like 100, I bet no more than 100

of those people who can have that kind of power. Yeah, yeah. Because even I, like, I mean, we're like big creators, I guess, I mean, we're big creators in the anime field, but in the overall fucking scheme of things, we're just a fucking table. We're still decently sized though. Like, yeah, but there's, I think I saw there's like,

I think in 2020, like beginning of 2020, like rough estimate, there's, I think over 10,000 channels now with every million subs. So it's, we're definitely not, we're definitely, you know, expanding more. But you still think that the ad revenue that you're maybe bringing in, you know, is more than like a Google employee. So it might be worth. Right, but how many Google employees are there?

True, true, true. At the end of the day, yes, we may be big in our separate fields and maybe compared to other, like smaller creators or people who don't do stuff, but in a bigger sense, the ceiling is very, very high. It should be nice because you know, they take 45% of your ad revenue. It'd be nice to know that they give a fuck about it, you know, not just host the videos.

Yeah. I mean, they're big enough where like they can't care about. They don't really, like one million creed, one million subscribers, that's like nothing. True, true. Yeah, I guess they only care about the creators that can actually affect their reputation, which is the super big ones.

It's a point zero one percent, right? Yeah. Yeah. Because I mean, I get it when like you see on Twitter that we do to like 20 subs, he's like, man, well, YouTube's so unfair to the small guys. And it's like, I mean, come on you have 20 subs. I mean, you don't really like have much to lose.

Like I know, I know like you shouldn't be discriminating against sizes, but also I think there should be a prioritized on people who are living off it and use the system through it, through it. Yeah, I mean, it's like, I feel sorry for YouTube at the same time as well because I'm like, I'm like, I'm thinking about this from like their perspective and like,

how do you solve every problem that you have on YouTube? Because YouTube right now is too fucking large. It's, there's too much content to be able able to know what everything is, everyone is doing and everything being uploaded. Like it feels like it's just an impossible puzzle to solve. You, you, you jiggle around one thing and then like another piece pops out,

you know what I mean? That's what it feels like, where it's, I feel like they are doing the best that they can. And I feel like, as creators, we all are very grateful to YouTube, but the sucky thing is that if we have a problem with YouTube, we have to make them look like the fucking devil. You know what I mean?

Whereas my, my personal opinion is that, I know YouTube's doing the best they can. I know there's like some massive problems that happen with, you know, some people getting banned or some people getting demonetized by like accidents and everything and it can can affect livelihood. But I look at this also from like the perspective of, hey, this is this platform is just fucking massive. It's going to be impossible to solve every problem with a bot. But that's what they need to do. They need to have a bot because you can't have actual humans looking over everything that's being uploaded. Yeah, because hasn't like YouTube, hasn't

In terms of like stuff that Google owns, hasn't YouTube been in the red for like the past like four years or something? Yeah. YouTube's constantly losing money for Google. I mean it's not the value of making money. It's the amount of information that YouTube brings Google is like priceless. Oh yeah. It's like what 50 hours of content uploaded every minute or second?

It's more way more than that. I think it's more. Yeah. It's insane. Yeah. But no, it's it's scary but I guess like that comes with the price of it being just a brand new type of entertainment, right? I'm sure radio and TV had probably the exact same problems

when it first started to arise. And it's only after decades and decades of trial and error that they've kind of smoothed it out. I mean, what I find funny is that when YouTube first started to get super super commercialized, right? And people will start having all these problems with copyright and a lot of people taking advantage of the system.

People like, well, this is a fucking dying platform. Let's go over to Twitch everyone. And then now, now that Twitch is like starting to like burst and to to the mainstream. We're now seeing like the same problems affect Twitch creators now. Everyone's like, man, Twitch is getting so hard now.

Twitch is getting axed like even hard. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Like the new DMCA laws are bloody ridiculous on Twitch now. Yeah. And it was like the one thing that Twitch was like, oh, thank God, we don't have to worry about playing copyrighted stuff on our Twitch anymore.

And then Twitch was like, oh, Amazon kind of stepped in was like, yeah, about that. I mean, it's more like the music industry. It's just been like, stuck in its ways for like the past like 30 years. Which is weird though because- Which is weird though because like, Newgrounds, to this day,

you can use copyrighted music. And they went to do anything about it. That's because no one owns Newgrounds. Newgrounds is like still privately owned. Right, but the thing is like even when it was in its prime, like the music industry never stepped in and tried to do something about it. They were just like, well, because the money wasn't there.

Yeah. Like when the live streaming, they see all these like billion dollar buyers. Like that's like seeing the music industry are like, hello. Basically, I feel like it's just the content. cycle. Like everyone tries to find this new platform where we, I mean, we talked about the golden age of the internet before where things were like less regulated than everything. But as soon as something does get popular enough, it's, it's just an inevitability that companies are just

going to want to get in on it. And it's going to be more regulated. And it's going to be, you're going to have content creators are just going to have less freedom. It's the unfortunate truth of the internet and it's the unfortunate truth of media. God, I hate capitalism. Down with capitalism. Should we get into some of our favorite YouTube channels or just channels we like watching? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I feel like we all watch very different YouTubers.

Do we? I don't know, I mean, we established before that, like, the amount of YouTube, the three of us watch is probably quite different, right? So like, okay, what here's my first question to you guys. What do you guys look for in a content creator? If anything, if anything. because I'm the type of guy, people like,

whenever I get asked like who my favorite YouTubers are, like especially in conventions and panels and everything, everyone expects me to like say anime YouTube. Yeah, yeah, yeah, my favorite attitude. Yeah, right? And like, because it's my job, like I try to make it, like I try to watch the least amount of anime content as I can because I don't want to, one, like it's my job,

I can't view anime content in the same way ever again. And two, I don't want it to affect my own content. Also, so many of them suck. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. No, no, but I totally agree. Like, you know, it's like my viewing, my YouTube viewing time is my off time.

Exactly. I just maximize YouTube, man. Every single moment in my life I'm watching YouTube. I don't do that. Do you watch Anitubes though? Like, like, A few. Like, Antitub is who, like, you don't know personally. Like, I obviously watch your guys' content,

like people I'm personally friends with, but I very rarely watch Anitubers who I don't personally know. This is some I like, but I feel like, they're not quite there yet, like they're still figuring it out their style. So. Because they knew or? Yeah, because they're new. Right, right, right, right.

Yeah. But I find enjoyment in watching the new channels kind of like figure out their own way and like seeing their growth. I mean, some of my favorite channels on YouTube are the tiny ones where they haven't, they've only got like update videos. Oh, yeah, I love those.

I love those. Where they have more update videos than actual content. Yeah. I would name one or two, but I'm also worried that they'll get, yeah, I don't wanna bully them. I'm also worried that they'll get like, you know, 10,000.

new viewers and they don't know how to handle it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you know the ones with talking, man. They're out there, they're out there. But like, okay, I mean, like, like obvious channels that we all like and enjoy, just like internet historian. Everyone fucking loves internet historian, right?

Yeah, I mean, like, what else? What else are the channels are on the podcast internet story? Yeah. Nakey Jakey is one of my favorite. I remember, like, because I discovered him. You know when you discover a creator who's under 100,000 subs?

Yeah. And you're like, you're gonna blow up. That was Nakey Jakey for me, because I discovered him before, he even did his fucking green screen effects and he was just basically like, try, like a mix between Dunky and John Tron. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And he was just like, he didn't show his face, it was just pure voiceover, but he was someone who I discovered really early on and I could tell, I could tell immediately. Personality was shining through. Yes, his personality was shining through and he was going to blow up eventually. And then he did like, the first,

the first video where I thought he was gonna blow up when was he did a video about like video game dogs, which was like, So different from what like other people were doing. Right. But it was just, it was just like, it was just so unique. And I was like, that's it. That's your niche. You found it. I just love his like flow of comedy. Like, yeah. There are some videos where it's like, like, one of my favorite videos to this day is the one where he talks about water levels in gaming.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's such a short video. It's like six minutes long. But just, it's just constant, constant jokes, jokes, jokes, jokes, jokes, with like no room for error whatsoever. And I just love videos like that where it's like, cut all the bullshit filler out, just say the punchline, then immediately move on. Like that's the type of comedy I strive to do in my thing as well. Like I feel like everyone knows, like, thinks of him as just like the guy who has a green screen and sits on the ball, but like, as someone who's been following him for ages, he can do any kind of content. Oh yeah.

You do a lot of writing, right? So I assume you think his writing's also pretty spot on as well. I think his writing is fucking brilliant. Yeah, he's just brilliant. It's really hard and even I'm still trying to learn this to try and battle like analytical, like your thoughts and analytics to comedy. And like it's like I've seen so many creators

and I feel like even my might be one of them who like sometimes it's like, okay, this part is analytical and this part is a joke. I see ya. But like to combine the two together seamlessly is a fucking difficult thing to do. And to make it look natural as well as really hard. This episode is sponsored by ExpressVPN.

go back to the show. I think one thing I respect the most out of Naked Jakey's writing, and like Naky Jakey is definitely not the only one who does this, but I think it's the type of content created that I especially like and inspire to be myself is the people who can, who write scripts, like they're clearly scripts,

but they write it and perform it in a way that doesn't make it look like they're reading off a script. Like, you know, Nakey Jakey is obviously a great example of that. I mean, I think the whole reason why John Tron as well, like, it's because of that, right? He's managed to like, as you said, like mix the whole analytical side with the joke side just so seamlessly.

And, you know, like if we're talking antitubes as well, like a demo was a perfect example of that, right? I mean, demo kind of just, kind of just like started as like a new wave of like anime YouTube content. And his style still prevails today in a lot of people's content. Right. I mean, I certainly like look up to that guy's writing. I think every, I think pretty much

every big antituber does and does in some way, but we're like not even like 10% of the way to being as funny as it's like, it's like we're trying really hard, but we can't quite get there. I mean it's like how like, because you can copy someone's style, but you can never be that person.

Right, right, that's like that's kind of like the hard thing about being an independent content creator is that you can be influenced by someone, but if you're influenced by them a bit too much and everyone's gonna be like, ah, you're trying to be ex-person. Yeah, you're just a clone. And like if you're trying to be ex-person, then in the viewer's mind, all they are going to be,

going to see is you trying to be ex person, you know what I mean? I mean, it was that problem right of back in the day when whenever anyone tried to do any get let's play. Yeah. And it doesn't matter if you were like nowhere similar to him. Everyone was like, well, this goes just a PewDiePy clone, you're just a Markiplier clone. And I'm just like, I got those comments. Like when I first started doing course party,

people were like, oh, you, this guy looks and sounds like Pewtify. I'm like, okay, I get the sounds part. How the fuck do I look like, Felix? How do you sound like feelings? What the fuck? I don't know. Apparently I said, I mean, I can do Felix impressions, but like it's not like I was trying to do them actively, right?

Cause surprise, Felix wasn't the only let's player that was around back then and who I watched. Yeah, speaking, oh, go on, hold on. Oh, speaking about Naky Jakey, do you guys, watched Scott the was? You've seen him. I've seen a few of his videos. I've seen a few of his videos,

but I'm not subscribed. I fucking love Scott. I love you, Scott. Because he's like the opposite of Naky Jakey almost where Nakey Jakey tries on purpose to not feel like a script, where Scott feels so incredibly scripted that it makes it almost funnier.

I don't know, he's just so extremely consistent and he uploads sometimes like twice a week and it's always such fucking good quality. Right, right, right, so good. I don't know, I feel like, because I was one point as well, John Tron had not uploaded for so long that they turned John Trond's subreddit

into Scott the Was. Are you serious? Yeah, yeah. Because he didn't upload for so long because everyone would say that Scott the Was was like John Trump, but more consistent. Right, right, right. But it's still very different, different styles of humor.

And I remember as well, he's like so anal about like keeping the same level of consistency that he re-uploaded the whole video once because he accidentally didn't blur, not blur, didn't censor a swear word in one of his uploads. God down, man, that is commitment. He just seems like such a chill dude, but also he's he's hallow awkward

because there's clips of him in conventions and he looks so awkward. It's like the kind of energy that I'm like, man, that's such a, that's so honest that he just tell he, like, loves what he's doing. That's just, I mean, that's the type of genuine, like, YouTube. Have you ever watched any of his videos? I feel like, I've definitely seen,

at least a couple of his videos come up on recommended, but I definitely have. Might not be for like everyone, but I think you definitely can always watch it and enjoy it, but you might not go away being like, I fucking love this guy, but you'll definitely enjoy it 100%. Yeah, yeah. He's definitely on my list of people like,

every time he's on my recommended, I'm just like, yeah, I go. It also makes me wonder, how specific of a subject about gaming can you talk about? Like he's done, he did memory cards the other day. He did a whole like 30 minute video on memory cards.

Right, right, right. I don't even know what he talked about. Like I can't remember, but I enjoyed it, but I just remember thinking, this video is totally pointless about. Oh, there's another channel that's like that, which I, I think you showed me this, Connor, but ahoy.

I was literally about like, when I Connor mentioned, I was like, ohoy, ohoy. I was like, there's another channel that covers super niche and specific topics of the longest time thought it was some like film studio that hired like the sexiest narrator ever. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I think it's legit, the narrator. No, I think it's just one dude. Yeah, so too, He does like video game documentaries on really, really niche like subjects. I think one of my favorite ones was he went through like the entire history of exploding barrels. That was such a good video, yeah.

And it's something, it's one of those subjects where you never thought about it until someone like, until someone brought it up. Like why is it that when you see a barrel in a video game, you just expect it to explode, right? It's just something that you've just been conditioned to like to know, but then you think about it. and you're like, yeah, what is the history behind that?

He's also, he's also like, I'm looking at his channel now, he's also like the antithesis of clickbait. Like, because you know what his video on explosive barrels is called? Just barrels, right? Explosive barrels with a period at the end. I also genuinely don't think, there's only maybe one of people I can think

that have like the same level of production quality as here. Oh, yeah. The production quality of this man's videos are insane. He's up with, we've mentioned before, but like, let me know. Like his, that's kind of like, the insane kind of production qualities

where you're like, This guy uploads one every three months and I know why you upload one every three months. It's legit like box levels of it. Oh yeah, yeah, definitely. He'll sit a video on like what was the first video game ever. That's a really. My favorite one as well is like,

where does the history of like chickens, like healing you come from? And like yeah, it's just great. Like it's really weird like there are just some YouTubers I feel that can just take these extremely niche topics and just somehow able to turn it into a video that you never thought you needed, but then the moment you wanted

you're like, all right, I kind of needed this video. As I was going through my list, I did realize what like really appealed to me and it was like more so the human aspect. Yeah. Because do you know no clip by any chance? No. They do video game documentaries that are really, really well produced

about like game development. And it's really really just insane production, great stuff. But half the time I end up like just not really caring because I feel like there's like no like human aspect to it or a personality check in the video. It just feels like a documentary. Which is great and it's amazing, don't get me wrong, but something like a hoi where it feels so passionate

from one person and so many of the channels that we'll mention today. Yeah, I mean, we've talked about this before about how to be successful on YouTube and I feel like having that human connection and having a personality, even if you could, even if you are doing like a sort of documentary thing, inserting your own passion and your own personality

into it as much as possible is the real selling point of why people will want to come back to you. And I feel like that's why, Like I remember when YouTube went through this whole video essay boom. Oh yeah. And now I think it's like kind of it's, it's starting to die down, you know. Especially on Anatoube as well. Yeah, yeah.

I remember when like every frame of painting like came along and started doing video essays and like like nerd writer. That was one of the best fucking channels. Yeah. Oh my God. And like nerd writer and everything came along and like we had this like video essay boom. And now people like they don't care so much about the, the analytical side of things. They care more about the personality behind.

They care about the person telling the narrative, right? Yeah, because why should I listen to like some random person's, like college thesis where there are like actual experts on the platform now, which brings me to like my next creator, which is a video essay channel because they did a video essay on, was it Shazam? Cazam. What was that superhero movie? Oh, Shazam. Yeah, they were doing a video essay on Shazam.

He's called Pony Smasher. I've never heard of the channel. And he was doing a video essay on Shazam, but like breaking down how hard it is to like, the little problems that need to be solved when making a movie, right? And I was just like, oh, it's just another video essay. And then he starts using like a first person perspective.

Like, yeah, so what I had to do was I had to do this, I had to do that on this movie. And I was like, wait a minute, this is the director of Shazam making a video essay on his own movie. And I'm just like, what the fuck? That's cool. Yeah, yeah, it was, it was the director of Shazam making a video essay on his own platform.

And I remember, I remember like how he ends the video is he says, yeah, there was a point where I was just, I was just, you know, super obsessed with YouTube video essays. And then I started making movies and now, like, he views video essays completely different because he, he admitted himself, as someone who, like, has made movies, like, he doesn't know whether, like, you know, you can break down the movie's themes

and like all the back end of something with the movie. But like he was like, yeah, sometimes it's just like a complete accident. You know what I mean? It's just happy little accidents. Yeah, yeah. Sometimes he's just like, yeah, was, yeah, you know, was, did I, did I mean to like, was there any meaning behind making this curtain blue or something like that? And sometimes just, yeah, it's just the only curtain that was fucking available, you know?

I just like the cult. Yeah, you know, yeah. And like hearing it from him, after I saw that video, I was just like, yeah, he's kind of got a point. You know, when you've got actual fucking directors making video, essays on your own movie. How can other people kind of compete with that at that point? That's the point I wanna get to where like eventually if I ever make my own anime or my own manga

and I just make a video essay on my own show. That would be the ultimate flex. Yeah, yeah, exactly. So I know exactly why they decided to use these things because I fucking made them. That's why. Amicious goals, Joe. Amicious goals.

The most primary of sources that you could ever get. That like also like going the complete opposite of that, which is experts in the field. My new worst fucking pet peeve on YouTube is seeing videos, I've mentioned this to you guys in private, but there's this new, like, thing on YouTube where, like, things that shouldn't be a qualification

that are a qualification, like, reacts to something. I've noticed, and these things will not stop leaving my recommended where it's like, Japanese person reacts to every Chris abroad video. And I'm like, I don't care. That is not impressive that a Japanese person watches. The reason one I saw that would not leave my recommended is a Japanese person

reacts to Bill Words' history of Japan. I was like, I don't, you are like, this should not be a qualification. I get it like there's like, like, what was the other ones? Like, Doctor reacts to Doctor. Yeah, that's fair. Because that's like an actual qualification.

That's the job. You were born in a country, bro? What do you mean? It's not like you were born in like Matchy Peach you're talking about the ruins of some shit, that's tiny. Like it's, my favorite ones as well as like, the music related ones.

So I remember I saw one which was like, a jazz drummer reacts to, Toul live concert, I'm like, but Tull is a metal band. It's like you don't know anything about metal, like it's like, it's like, oh yeah, the other one is like a church drummer reacts to whatever and I'm like, you play at your local church. It's not like, you're not even a professional,

you're just playing your local church. Can someone please make a YouTube channel out there? Like high school student reacts to high school? Like can we, like, I just want this to go full meme now. Like it's getting ridiculous. Like I saw, like there was like a mathematician one. And in the video, it was like, mathematician reacts to. And I click on the video and it said,

and it's just a college student. I'm like, what? What? I actually wanted to make a parody of like that video series. Which is like, professional degenerate reacts to hentai. You should totally do that. I gotta make it now. You gotta make that before it's taken.

Some people saw the lawyer things obviously. Like, hey, I'm a specialized Japanese person. I can react to. I just thought, no, like, not bashing on any chance to do it. I just think it's really like weird and like, not weird, like unnecessary. It's kind of like, okay, there's this trend that makes sense, right? You have a professional qualified person who, you know,

is, has been doing this job for years, like a lawyer or a doctor, and can actually provide insight. Yeah, yeah, right, right. And then as with everything, as with every YouTube trend, it kind of, people like try to bend it as much as possible to be like, yeah, I'm, I'm kind of like, I have a qualification in X, kind of, you know? You know, you know when you're, like, in that job interview

and you're, like, try to buff up your fucking CV, which is, well, there's as much boring as you can possibly imagine. That's kind of what it feels like, you know. So have you ever had any past jobs? Well, I used to have to take out the trash every week in my parents' place. That was kind of like an obligation.

Like I remember, like back in the abridge scene where people were just like, yeah, I'm, I do sound design. You know, I'm like, motherfucker, you just, I know what the fuck you do. You just, you just... Talking into blue yiddity is not sound design. I'm sorry. Oh, dude, like, if there are any smaller YouTubers watching, here's an idea for you.

Like, react to any things. but just call yourself aspiring entrepreneur reacts to. You'll get clicks like that. That's free real estate, it's for you. Okay, but to be fair though, the only, like, we mentioned this earlier, but like the doctor reacts to sales at work. That one's good.

That shit was fucking great. No, like when this trend started, I was like, I was all for this. Yeah, like that I don't often watch reaction videos, but I watched all of those because just the dude was a charismatic as far. I forgot the name. It's like, Dr. Phil. Yeah.

I was not a British guy, right? I've seen it. I've seen it. I think my favorite work. is that guy who breaks down accents. Yeah, the guy on Wyatt, yeah. I mean, that's the, I love that guy. Eric Singer, I think is the-

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I love those videos so much, I basically ripped off the line. Yeah, you ripped it out of me, yeah. I mean, I was like, oh man, this is fun, I can explain this. Not gonna lie, when I saw that on my subfeed, I was like, fuck, that's a good idea. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I wish I did that.

Yeah, I mean, I thought, why not, man? I've been doing a few years. I was actually gonna do something similar. I was gonna do, uh, I was gonna name myself Japanese expert. And I was gonna, and I was gonna react to, like foreigners in films doing Japanese accents or speaking in Japanese.

Right. And like, yeah, I might still do that, but like, are you a qualified Japanese person? You weren't born and raised here, Joey. I mean, I don't know. I have a certificate, though. How many years experience do you have, being Japanese, right?

Only 26 years, you know? The amount of videos I have seen that as Japanese person react to Filthy Frank is like way too many. Oh yeah, yeah. There is so many. It's like, this should not be necessary. Like, it's just,

Just a Japanese. It's like, also it's like who cares. And also you probably won't get like a really authentic because most of the time the Japanese people that are doing it in English. Yeah, yeah, like, you know, I mean, I'm not gonna lie, but the foreigners that I've spoken to, are the Japanese people that I've spoken to

that studied abroad are very different to the Japanese people who are very Japanese. I love that half the videos as well, it's like Japanese reacts to Filty Frank and it's just an American born Japanese guy, right? It's like you're not, you're an American dude, like you're not even Japanese. That's an interesting point actually.

I would, I would actually like, That's interesting content. Like say you take a video and actually sub it and then show it to a Japanese person subbed. Yeah, and see how they reacts with it. That would be interesting, I think. Yeah, that would be interesting, but the problem is no one can be fucked to do that, right?

It's just too much effort. Yeah. What other YouTubers do you guys enjoy watching? Well, I have a YouTuber who is up and coming. I found him fucking, like, maybe when he had, like, less than 10K subs. But is this guy called Johnstone. Okay.

Okay. And he's a Pokemon YouTuber. Okay. Because I want me my Pokemon. But like, unlike every other Pokemon he kind of takes Pokemon challenges and kind of goes, is this the guy you,

is the guy who beat like the whole game with like Ditto or something? Or like, no, that's Peekerspray. Okay, that's another guy who I also follow. But yeah, so John Stone is this guy who does these like absurd Pokemon challenges and just condenses them into like one video. So like a small ant, right, is a guy who also does similar things.

He's a massive Twitch streamer, but Johnstone kind of like, he does these like ridiculous challenges like, can I beat the entirety of Pokemon Fire Red with just one shot, right, right, and shit like that. And like, he not only puts his own personality into it, but like kind of breaks down how to do it as well. So if people want to do it, then they can.

And I think it's only recently that like, you know, we were talking about people who make content, which is like very informational, but then try and put their own personality to it. I feel like he's a guy who's like just starting to learn how to do that. Yeah. And it's kind of growing off of it.

And it's been really cool to like watching grow. There's a few channels like that because I watch, uh, is it a game, Champ 3,000, I think I have written down here. He does like the beating like X game without collecting a coin or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And like, I don't know why he would do that

because like it sounds like pain. Yeah, small ant does that too. He, I recently watched him do, uh, it's like, can I beat Pokemon Fire Red with only shinies? So what he would do is like he would, and he would do this all live on Twitch and then just make a video on YouTube. So like every time like the starters would come up.

And if none of them are shiny, he'd just reset the game. Oh my God. And he keeps going up until the starter was a shiny. Oh my God, that's like, that's like speedrunners. like, yeah, kind of, what's the word I'm looking for? Dedication. Yeah, or another one was like, can I beat all of Pokemon Emerald without taking damage?

Oh my God. And every time you took damage, you had to reset. I think I saw that. I think I've seen that one. That one sounds familiar. It went, it went quite viral, I think. I think I've seen a few, like, videos like that where it's like no damage Dark Souls runs.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, those are always like a fucking trip to watch, I mean, I love watching those kinds of content because I think I've just gotten so into, like, speed running and like just people who were just way too good at games for their own good. Yeah, yeah. There's a fair amount of speed running dedicated channels.

Just think of none of them are quite nearly a level of obviously summoning soul, which everyone loves. Oh, summoning soul. I feel like it's summoning soul and then kind of everyone else. And not to be rude to everyone else, but he's just definitely like doing something that's clearly appealing to everyone, not just. I feel like what he does so well is that he just knows

kind of like how to present a story. Because it's like, okay, like he's one of the few channels where I'm like, I don't really know his personality, right? But the stories that he picks to present on his channel are like a banger every time. Because like if you don't have a personality in your channel, then that puts pressure to make the subject you are presenting that has to carry your video, right?

And it's normally easier to have a nice, interesting personality that people wanna come back to. But if you're someone like summoning soul, who for some reason knows how to present the most compelling speed running stories every fucking time. It's like watching a movie, right? Yeah, exactly. Yeah, his recent one with the perfect Mario 64 one.

Yeah, yeah. It's so good. That was so good. I also really love his, which one was it? The Ninja Guidon one. Yeah, the cowboy dude. I love that guy. And he's so nice and it made for such a good story.

It's so cool as well because like, I found so many cool speed runners because of his videos as well, just because the way he kind of sells them and also just kind of lays out their entire journey. It's just like, I don't know, I don't know what it is, right? Because it's like, truth be told, he's not the most charismatic, or like, you know, interesting presenter.

But he just manages to write and present and kind of tell a story in a way that you just have to watch. Because it's like there's always the hook. There's always, it almost follows like the structure of a movie, you know what I mean? There's the hook, there's the beginning, the middle of the end.

And the end's always like a really big climax that you're like, wow, this was worth sitting through like 45 minutes to an hour watching just so I could have seen this climax and get invested into the story, man. I'm glad I sat through 45 minutes to know that that cowboy dude, got a sub 10 and ninja guy.

Yeah, exactly. I'm so glad his efforts got pay off, man. That's so worth it. Can you clap, everybody applause. You tried to explain, you tried to explain his content to someone who just knows nothing about speed running. I'm just like, why do you care so much about like,

because he tried his best, man? It's one of those things where it's like, just watch. Like I think, again, this is why I love documentaries and all that, because I just love the human aspect of stories and the, I guess, you know, almost human life is more interesting, because weird shit happens. that you couldn't even predict.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think it's so interesting. And obviously, like, I also think that Sumbling Salt is really similar to Frederick Newton, which is like my favorite. Yeah, down the rabbit hole.

Yeah, down the rabbit hole. I still haven't seen his new one. No, I haven't seen his new one either. I just think the sheer amount of, like, dedication to the story and getting all the facts there is just insane. And, like, I think every time I get drunk, I watch that Wings of Redemption.

That's the problem with, that's the problem with Newton, though, is that like, every time he does upload a video, it's like a yay moment, as well as an oh shit moment, because it's a yay moment because he uploads like once every, like three months something.

But it's an oh shit moment because it's like, okay, what day in my calendar is free to watch this video? You know there are some content creators that you just watch immediately. There's some content creators where you make mental note, you're like, they have loaded

and you're like, okay, I gotta find, I gotta find time. Like right opinion is the exact same thing, right? Yeah. Every time he uploads, it's like, it's another two hour video by right opinion. It's gonna be a banger, but man, I'm not free for like three days.

God, I have so much respect to right opinion, because normally like I fucking like I can't stand commentary channels mostly. Yeah, yeah. Because it's just like the biggest free for all. It's like I don't know why some people have like are so fucking loud. And I don't know why some people listen to the other people. It's just almost always biased.

Yeah, it's so biased. It's always a fucking mess. But dude, if right opinion makes like a video about you, I'm fucking listening. I mean, I was in one of his videos. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, I was in one of his videos. Thanks for that by like. If I get destroyed by right opinion, I'm like, yeah,

I did something wrong. My bad, my bad. But that's the thing, right? It's like, when people were telling me that I was in like a right opinion video. Yeah. In my head I was like, yay and shit at the same time, right? It's like, you got a cameo.

Yeah, I got a cameo, but it's like, it's like gonna be good, is my career over? Oh my God, luckily I was fine. Because he has like such a good skill and breaking down the key components about what, you know, someone's like personal mistakes and maybe- He just tells it how it is, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, without, like, he is, he is, he is, he is,

He is obviously biased, but every time he is like, has any kind of bias in it, he says it up front. And he, in the end, he lets the viewer make their own opinion rather than telling the viewer how, you know, what opinion they should have. Like he presents the facts, he presents his biases, and then he doesn't say, hey, you should fucking hate this person. He just, he just says, you make, you know,

it's kind of like you make your own opinion. Right, right, right. Yeah, I mean, obviously I watched the fucking four hour video in one go because I was fucking dying that day. Nick, I cut out of God was disgusting. I still, I got like halfway through that I'm just like. It felt like it was just repeating at times but that's because he does repeat his real life multiple times.

Yeah. I think the only video that I was kind of like male and I think he made a video on like the animation community and I remember it feeling like, all right, this is kind of like, all right, kind of me. Oh, is that the Dan is a plan? No, no, no, that one was good, I like that. It was like, it was talking about the animation community

and I think how they all rely on each other for success. It was kind of like warning that they shouldn't. But like, I really didn't feel like it was like, I was like, okay, cool. I mean, it doesn't really say anything. Yeah, yeah. But I mean overall, yeah, his, I mean, just amazing at presenting an opinion.

Yeah, also Frederick Knucson, by the way, is, because we didn't explain what it was. He was like, he does like documentary on anything, basically. Yeah. Just a documentary on anything. Any one person or event or anything. And it's so well done that it's just like, oh my God, like yeah. Again, here's a video on Wings of Redemption who I had no idea who that was,

but I watched the full like two hour, like 30 minute thing. Yeah. Amazing. It's so good. It's not how people can just make a compelling narrative about anything, especially when something where it's like, I never knew about this, never cared about it, but yeah. I guess now that I'm here, I'm investor. Yeah, because I feel like I watch that content

not only because it's, because it's entertaining, but I also like as, as this is my job. Oh, I can appreciate the works. Yeah, I like I appreciate because they also break down as a YouTuber like how the best way to present yourself online is and how, and the mistakes of what not to do. Write that down.

That's exactly the point, right? Because they break it down in such, in, they break it down so well, that you can, like if this is your job and like social media is your job, then you can literally take advice about what not to do and the mistakes that other people have made.

It's like a self-help guy. It is. It really is. All right, don't do that, no, do it. Okay, okay, wait, before we move on, like, okay, here's a question for you guys. Have you guys ever like rehearsed a kind of like an apology video?

No, no, no. You've never done. No. Even though you've done nothing, wrong, even though you've done nothing wrong, right? Come on, you must have thought about it. Oh yeah, in my head, I've thought about it, but I've sat there front of the mirror being like,

Oh, no, no, no, like not actually rehearsed, but like in your head up every morning and I practice the sigh before it begins, you know, that this is a really hard video to me. In your head, you've thought about it, and you've thought about it, you've thought, because it's like, okay. There's a few ways to go about it, right?

There's the, like, double down, there's the do nothing, there's the apologize and admit, wrongdoing. And from what I've seen on YouTube, seems to be unfortunately that people always want an apology, but the people who apologize admit wrongdoing normally get the fucking the worst treatment.

Yeah, I've noticed the people who double down normally get away with it. So other YouTubers double the fuck down. Just go with it. Every time, double down. Because like, I don't have anything in my past that I expect I'm gonna need to make an apology video, but nobody fucking expects to need to make an apology video, right?

So like, as you see, as a YouTuber, I see this, I see this trends happening, you know? I see like cancel culture happening. And I'm just like, but what if I did need to make an apology? Like Vsource music starts playing. I don't need to apologize, but what if I did? Do you watch any other like documentary channels similar to theirs? Because I have a few, actually, you know,

on the note of YouTube, I think that Emperor Lemon makes good ones about YouTube. I don't know if I... I know his name. I probably seen a few of his stuff with. I feel like his presenting style, I don't really gel with. But I think the way that he talks about YouTube, I think it's really well done. And he's clearly someone who is,

I guess I can see parallels between me and the way that he talks about the internet and the way that I was, you know, from like age 10, I was glued to the internet. Yeah. He talks about like, you know, how, you know, realistically, let's say, I think you made a video about YouTube likes.

Right. So, you know, on paper, if you see 90% likes the dislike ratio, any mathematician would be like, that's great, that's nine to one. But a YouTuber sees that and thinks, oh fuck. Why isn't it 95? Exactly, exactly. So he basically like did a whole video explaining

how like the actual YouTube like ratio system is like 99% is good. 98% is you've probably pissed off a little bit of your audience. 95 is you've probably said something a little bit bad and anything below 90 is like you fucked up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which is true. And it is definitely true.

And he made a video as well that was really well done. I don't give a fuck about NASCAR. He did a bit of thing about NASCAR was really good. He also made a video about Hungry Box, a Smash player. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And that was a really, really good documentary. I do like watching, I'm not subscribed to any of them,

but I do like watching like a smash compilation. every now and there. I mean, the smash documentary that came out years ago was amazing on YouTube. Oh, that was that the four hour smash documentary. Yeah, that was the documentary that got me into, not just got me to smash, but got me into YouTube documentaries. Yeah.

As well, I don't know who made that, but it was like this very famous four hour smash documentary that is like way out of date now, because it detailed like the very, very start of the smash community. Yeah, it is. It built up the characters of the story and it did it. Other channels, if you guys like Frederick,

Newtson, I know you probably don't know these channels. There's anxiety war, I don't know if you've heard of them. They're not anxiety war, sorry, sorry, fuck. There's the, uh, I don't subscribe to a lot of the documentary. Yeah, like, again, they just take up so much time. There's, uh, not anxiety war, sorry, I talked about him though later, he's fucking strange. Who? Yeah.

Atrocity guide, she does videos similar to Frederick Knudson. I know that name. Her voice is so fucking chilling and creepy that even the ones that aren't scary, feel scary. Yeah, and it's like, what's gonna happen? What's gonna happen? Very good. And then, I'm not subscribed to him, but Jay,

Jay Aubrey, yeah. Yeah, every time his video comes up from my recommend it, I'm just like, yeah. This seems like a, who's the guy who did like that, who is doing the massive Chris Chan? Okay, I was gonna get it. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's Gino Samuel 2.1.

He lives in, he lives in Japan, by the way. Joe, Joe, do you want to explain that? Because Connor showed us this the other day. We'll talk about, we'll go out to J-Ory back in some other channels. So there's this channel called Gino Samuel 2.1, and like he, his whole channel is dedicated to the history of Chris Chan. You know who Chris Chan is.

Chris Chan is, he's very, very infamous online. And the whole point of, if you know what Kiwi Farms is, is a shit-talking website. That whole website was made to document Chris Chan because there's so much information about this one person online. He's probably the most documented person in history. That's like, it's kind of like.

I mean, we watched what? Two episodes. Yeah, we watched two out of how many episodes? I think there are nearly 50. How long were the episodes? Like 40 minutes each. At least 40 minutes. So we watched an,

hour and a half of like this prolog, not even the fucking prologue, and the amount of information they got about this guy's life was just fucking mind-blown. From like age five. From age five. This episode is sponsored by Apari. Shit, is that what I'm wearing right now?

Look at these clean fucking clothes were wearing. Look at this design, man. Look at this drip. Is this artist owned, anime inspired quality clothing? I think it is. Oh my God, you know, not gonna lie, fellas. This is pretty fucking that. I know a meme in a little bit, but this is, Look how blinging you look right now, man.

Thank you. I fucking love the bucket hat. It's thanks to the quality fabric gone, by the way, and the original art. Did you know that, go? It is anime inspired as well, which is nice for the weed. And also, not gonna lie, I fuck with the colors.

I like the color schemes. I like the fun color. It's really nice. Honestly, honestly, I saw this design and if they weren't sponsoring me, I would have bought it anyway. Yeah, yeah, same. This is like so me.

Yeah, yeah. And they gave us a little, cute little plushy there. So me and Joey are wearing, oh, Mailing, is throwing us an extra shirt to show, or a jumper, sorry. Yeah, but this is from me and Connor are wearing the... It's from the fall, winter collection.

Yeah, you can sound like this as well. Trust me, these boys are thick. Like, I'm very hot right now. They'll keep you right now. They'll definitely keep you all. You're inside and I wanna take this off. I'm too hot right now. So, thank you. I actually love this shit.

And Garn has some of the shirt designs, as he's mentioned. Look at this. Thank you, Apari. Thank you, Pari for sending me more clothes so I have more clothes to wear in trash taste because I'm running out my wardrobe now. And this is the shit I would wear That design is fucking sexy.

Honestly, that's a sexy. I also got some face masks, but they're at home because they're dirty and I've been using them. So put up an image, here you are on screen. And they are really fucking cute. I had the most stylish face masks. I do. I don't want to, I don't want to like clown on others, but I did have the most stylish ones.

And this crisp bucket hat fellas. I do like the bucket hat. Because no, no joke, when I go in the sun, not right now, obviously, but when I did in the summer, if I went out without a hat, I would just get a headache. But now you got it. Mailene said I was disgusting one time because I sweat in her bucket hat.

That she borrowed me. A part really really really. new collections every season. So if you want to stay up to date with their latest clothing, follow them on Instagram at Apari art. Or sign up to their mailing list at apari.com. Trust me, fellas, you're not gonna wanna miss these drops. These are clean.

Yeah, if you want some slick weeb drip, then Apari's the place to go. So thank you to Apari for sponsoring this episode. And back to the video. So his whole channel is dedicated to discussing Chris Chan. And you're probably thinking, like, there can't be that much on this dude.

Like, they've made biopics about some of the most interesting people and they're only two hours long. Right. Yeah. We're on like part, like, it's something near 50, or on 50. And the reason why channel's called like 2.1 is because I've been watching this since like episode five. Right.

His channel got like taken down at one point. Right, episode like 15 or something. And he decided to quit talking about it. I don't know what happened. Right. Because he got out. He came back. He came.

He just when I thought I was out, they pull me back here. And he's back, he's back doing it now. And I don't know how far we are into it, but all the comments. And actually Chris Chan replies to every single video. Really? Really?

In like, tries to correct detail. He doesn't even question about the fact that he's making a video. Chris Chan seems to like it, sorry, I think it's she now. So sorry for a dead nameing. But yeah, it's really interesting and I hope that you keep finishing the thing,

you get to the end. Yeah, because we don't even wanna know how much the mental toll that takes. How far are we through Chris Chan's life right now? I think maybe halfway. I'm not sure. And how much, like how many hours of content do you think has been made?

about 30 plus at the moment. Yeah, let's do the math if like each episode is at least 30 minutes and it's 50, right? There's at least 25 hours. 15 episodes to just like Chris Chan being trolled. Well, I mean, when we, when you showed us that at your place, we watched the first two episodes and we hadn't even made it past age 10.

I mean, the majority of the videos have been about trolling with Chris Chan. Yeah, good chance that they might reply to here, but I mean, it's super interesting and if you wanna, it's so bad as well because Chris Chan's like autistic constantly says it, constantly says high functioning autism. And in the documentary, you're like, you kind of like, in the start, you really wanna root for him

because, you know, he's clearly just been unfortunate. He's had a rough life, yeah. Right, and like, you know, parents in it as well are like super questionable. And then the moment you're about to root for him, he's just like, I don't like gays. I think that blacks are like less than people. And it's like, God, fucking damn.

He had us in the first half. Yeah, he literally had us in the first half. And then it's like, God damn it, man. You're so close. Because it's like the Tiger King documentary, right? Like they want you to root for Joe Exotic, but they leave out all the racist shit that Joe was saying.

Right, yeah, I don't think I would have rooted for. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, it's just good storytelling, right? Because what I find like fucking terrifying about the first two episodes of this documentary that I watched was just the sheer amount of information and like just the sheer amount of intimate information that I probably wouldn't even know

about my own life at that age, let alone someone else's life. So Chris Chan, one of the one of the one of the ones the first things that opened up, open wide, like the whole trolling thing is that when it was all started, and I'm sure the comments will correct me if I'm wrong, I need these details, because people are all like historians about him.

I think they're called Christorians. Is what they call themselves. So. I love that. Internet historians. When they first started the Dramatica thread about him, the first thing that Chris did was just- Correct it.

Well, correct it by overloading it with personal information, thinking that they would get bored. But he just gave them everything. Yeah. Like, and it was just, it was so, at that point, zero privacy. I knew I was hooked because I just,

I was fascinated by it. I just couldn't fucking believe that he was the one who invented Sonnychu. Yeah, he's the one who made Sonnychu. Yeah, like, I could, like, cause Sonichu was just, if you don't know what Sonichu is, there's probably a picture of it on the screen, there's monstrosity.

Massive meme, right, on the internet. And for the longest time, I saw that shit everywhere. Yeah. And I was just like, where did this come from? But now I know, it's from the brilliant mind of Chris Chan, so thank you for that. Other good channels that do documentaries, there's a guy called Toad McKee,

Kinley and he did a two-part documentary on like Chris Hansen and that whole debacle. It's really good actually, that was good. And how long are these documentaries? Because I know you watched three hours. More documentaries than like both of us combined. Yeah. A lot of documentaries you can leave on in the background, I feel like the like watching June,

the Christian ones like they're so long and often it's basically playing a whole audio clip for 20 minutes. You get the gist. Yeah, yeah. So I just a podcast or the Christian podcast. Essentially. It's just a podcast. about Chris Chan with someone else narrating his life.

Yeah, exactly, exactly. And obviously, like, I watched Jay Aubrey as well. Because I mean, he, I think Jay Aubrey's good friends with right opinion. Yeah, I can tell. They help each other out. Their styles are like similar but different enough that, you know, their content stands out for themselves.

But I kind of respect their content in the same way, where they really know how to break down, like how the, how public perception can warp an opinion of a certain person. I think sometimes common to channels, I don't like being told what my opinion should be. Yeah. And I feel like sometimes,

some narration, like I think some videos in J-Obra, like, they kind of like, I mean, the way he narrates would be like, all right, you should think this way. I'm sure he doesn't intend to, that's just the way I like perceived it, but I mean, still amazing videos. Yeah, it's either one way or the other way. If commentary channels either, I know you're a fucking clown and I know no one's

gonna fucking listen to you. Like, you know, something like Keemstar, you know, and all. Like, it's either one way or the other where there's like so many commentary channels I see that hit that middle ground and, you know, try and think that they are like the fucking and holy grail of opinions, where it's just like, dude, it's just...

And then you have some commentary channels that just kind of are commentary channels, like, technically speaking, but just the way that they present shit and like the topics they choose, just kind of go away from commentary, like perfect example of that who I fucking love watching is Leon Lush. I like Leon Lush, yeah. More humor focused, I think.

Yeah, right, yeah, yeah, yeah. But technically he's a commentary channel, right? Like, technically speaking, but like the way he presents it and the topics he covers is just like, just so, it's like Cody Coe, right, with like the, the, what's the series that he does where he cringes that shit? I think he's just quite cringe, right?

I don't really watch Cody Kenall, let's the other guy, Curtis Conner, is the other one? That's like those three, right? Yeah, because I don't really watch them. I watched a lot of, I really like Danny Gonzalez. I think he's really funny. I think also the stuff he does where he like bought,

this video he made where he spent like $15,000 on YouTube ads. That was such a fucking good video. Oh, I think I've seen that video. That's such a good video. I was like, I didn't know who you were talking about, but I remember watching that. He's just got such a good personality.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, and Drew Gudden as well, obviously. Yeah. Have you heard of the channel called Anxiety War? No, I mentioned it briefly. He basically does how to catch a predator. Like, that's his thing. Right, right, right, right. And he's a fucking psychopath.

Like, I don't know how you can, he spends all day talking to pedophiles. I don't know how you can do that. Like, how do you do that? That's weird, right? Yeah, that is weird. But like he goes and meets up with them and, like, films them.

And some of these dudes, there was one dude he met up with that was like eight foot or some shit. This guy's built like a brick shit house, and he turned up pretending to be a girl. What? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so he goes up, he literally just does how to catch a predator, but instead of going there

with like armed police and everything. Yeah, yeah. He goes alone with like a camera and I'm like, you're insane. That's how you die or anything? No, no, it's just, he turns out with a handheld camera. How many subscribers does he have? Oh God, like over half a million. Okay, it's like Chris Hansen hard mode.

Yeah, yeah. And like at one point, I think one of the, one of the, one of the predator, one of the Florida, yeah, the president's tried to sue him. One of them did, I don't work out, but like the guy's got a strange personality as well when you're watching him. I watch it just for fascination,

just to see how this guy does it, but man, it's such a weird presenting style and he's constantly like giggling to himself while he's recording it. It's really weird, but it's an interesting watch. I don't think it's like, it's something unnerving about watching it because the content that he's talking about

and the way that he's talking about, like how he trolled someone on Xbox, but it's actually somebody who's trying to fuck a kid and it's like, okay. Wow. I kind of seeing a pattern with all the content you're recommending, and it is very much, you just like, the human aspect,

The human kind of story behind it, right? There's a lot of channels that I like that I just think the guys are fucking weirder and I don't really like the personality, but I think they're just so fascinating to watch. I reckon you'd love this channel then that Aki recently recommended me called Soft White Underbelly. That sounds familiar. Yeah, they...

I've not heard of that channel. It's this guy who basically, he's like this photographer guy, but he basically goes around, like, streets of L.A. and stuff like that, and he picks up, like, homeless people for whatever reason, and they bring him in to interview them and kind of, like, talk about their life and, like, why they're homeless and how they go. got there and shit like that. So like, there's ones where he's like, you know,

he like, he picks up a dude like from the street and like asks what he's about and he ended up being homeless because he like raped his mom or something or like did something like this like insane crime. And these people just like fucking break down on camera just talking about their life. And it's just, it's really raw, but it's so fucking interesting to watch

just because you otherwise would never hear about these people's lives, right? And there's like no bullshit like, there's no like, you know, snarky like, commentator or like presenter being like, so tell us your story about why you're homeless. It's just like, it's literally just listening to a dude try and communicate with this clearly broken person

for whatever reason and you just, some of these backstores, I'm just like, holy shit, like, how are you alive? Yeah, it's so 50-50 for me with those, especially when they're getting homeless people because I'm like, it's such a fine line between in my eyes being like, genuine or just like taking advantage.

Or like, this is like kind of like reality TV You know what I mean? Like it's kind of like the, I don't know, the backstory Olympics. You know, where where- Where it's like an X Factor audition. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, where it's just like, okay, who has the worst, most tragic backstory?

Who do we wanna cheer for, right? I'm more, yeah, it's why I'm always like, okay, some of them, like I could definitely see. God, there was a channel where, like, this guy interviews like meth heads and stuff. I can't be the name of the top of my head, but that's a really good channel. Yeah, he did like really raw emotional.

Yeah, I feel like with the way that you present, like I've seen a bunch of his videos and they all seem pretty fucking genuine. That's just like gut feeling. I mean, if you say so, I trust you. It's a gut feeling like, I've seen the fake ones before and this one definitely doesn't seem like the fake ones. Just a lot of them where it's like sad music,

royalty three and then they've picked up some like crack head. Yeah. No, you know if there's like fucking like sad music in the back of it, it's probably fucking scripted, right? It's like you must feel sad now because of the sad music. It's not even, it's also like the sad music. You know they've gone from the YouTube library because you've heard it a million times before

on like other channels. I see you're also using Kevin McLeod Like I was going, I was in a shopping mall the other day and I was walking past like this makeup section and they were using that fucking ukulele that fucking ukulele YouTube stock music. That's my favorite piece of music. Just because I can envision every video that uses it.

It's like way, it's like way too like fucking white, The white balance is completely off. It's like way too bright, way too sunny. The background is way too clean, and it always starts with, hey guys. Hey guys. Today's my outfit of the day. Yeah. I look back to that period

and just think, why, why, why did every vlogger at one point, how are ukulele? Because you can't be sad listening to a ukulele. Right, like you can't play like a, like a, oh shit, I'm about to cry. Fucking ukulele, d-d-tun-t-t-d-. Yeah, but it's also the kind of like, my family is dying around me,

and like I'm crying, you can later. You know. Do you guys like Report of the Week? I love Report of the Week. I love Report of the Week. He is like in a league of his own in terms of content. There's like, I also think of him as like a category of creator.

Yeah, like I can often compare creators to him in the sense of like that's the kind of charm that they have. Well, what other creators do you think are like? Buff Correll. I was like like Buff Carell. I wanted to shout out my boy, Buff Correl. Like, okay, how do you describe as a channel.

It is just you can never like leave one of his videos not being happy. Yeah, like just a guy like literally, Buff Carl, that's his name, he's buff. He dances and sings, his singing is horrible, but in such an endearing and funny way that like you love it. Because a boy can dance. The boy can't fucking dance.

And he's buff as fuck as well. And like, I love this man so much. The first time you watch any of his videos, everyone goes on the same trip where like, he starts dancing, you're like, okay, this boy can dance. Please, pause this video and go and watch one video. Yeah. And then he opens his mouth, and it's just like the fucking worst singing you've ever heard.

But then he does it with such self-confidence that you're like, damn, man, I can only respect that. You know what he is? He's the epitome of like, this is what I do in my room when I'm alone. But I decided to get a camera and start recording myself. He's so happy, dude. Yeah. Like, you're just like, man, I love it. I love it.

It's so infectious. Like my dream is to one day have a fucking karaoke session with Buff Carell. Please, Buff Girl, come to Japan, we'll have you in Trash Tasting and go to a karaoke session. That is like my fucking dream. Like that is on like my fucking list of things to do before I die, man. And I love as well, like the little Easter Aces he throws around,

like the fact that he has a picture of himself on his wall. Yeah, I love that. It's so endearing. And the fact that the camera quality is like the same fucking low HD, fucking five pixel cameras. And he's like, nothing I love is that like he's not even pointing the camera at himself. He's pointing it at a mirror. mirror that has a reflection of here.

Epic, it's like, it's cinematography. That's the thing, right? It's like, it's channels like that, like him and like report of the week where it's like, I don't care if this is a joke or if they're being 100% serious, it's still entertaining. I can't, I like, I would be impressed if they were putting that on.

Because there's, there's no way that that kind of genuine can like, like, happiness cannot like radiate. But it's the age or question, right? Like with a report of the week, like, is that actually how he is? Or is he just doing this joke? I'm happy not to know. Yeah, I don't wanna know.

You know right, right? But like that's like kind of like half the fun. I love the memes. I love the memes. But it's just kind of like this content creator who I feel like they just be in themselves, but part of their personality is so fucking infectious that you cannot watch a video and not come out happier.

And I mean, I could be having the shitters day, put on a buff correl video. I'm like, okay, my days where the buff corals. How can I be sad when he's not sad? You know what I mean? How can I be having a shuddy day? When he's pulling off these six Yeah, exactly, man.

Dude, Bob Curl's Twitter is the most, like, blessed, cursed thing I've ever seen. Yeah. Because, like, I think, like, three times a day, he posts a selfie of himself. Hell yeah. With, like, no caption. Oh, like, different angles.

It's the most, like, it's, like a dude who just loves himself so much, but you can't hate him for it. I love that. I love that. It's great. You have so much self-confidence, and, man, I respect that. Because it's just like, it's,

I can't, like, quantify into words, but, like, what is the line between, like, vanity and self-confidence. And Buff Carell, like, he fucking obliterates that life because he's so vain, yet you just, you just feel happy for him. There's no negative feelings. It's just, it's just, ah, I fucking love him, man.

There's this channel like, that's, I don't know why it gives me report of the weak vibes and it might be an insult, I don't know, but it's called Project Farm, right? All he does is just review, like, engine oil and, like, tool, like, and he'll, like, review, like, different tapes. There is truly a channel for everything.

Yeah. And he's just so, like there was a video and he reviews like flex tape, guerrilla tape and compares them all. And like, I don't give a fuck about any of this. But he's so passionate about reviewing these things and it's so genuine. What's that fucking channel that reviews all of the locks?

Oh, lock pick lawyer. Yeah, yeah. Lock pick and lawyer, I love as well. I fucking, his like, I feel like he's like low-key, one of the funniest on the platform. I love it. Indestructible lock in the title, 20-second video. It's like, oh, okay, all right,

he's just gonna pick the, So lock picking lawyer is a lawyer and his whole channel, he's like a lock picking expert. Yeah. And he just, it's so funny because he's built up so many in jokes because he's insane at picking locks. And like all his delivery is so dry. Yeah. He's like he's got like the driest delivery

you can ever imagine, but that's why every time he makes a joke, it just hits every time. That was like, yeah, that was a video that he made for April Fool's that was breaking into my girlfriend's back door. It was like ex-girlfriend, right? My girlfriend's back door. innuendos and like, oh, it was so funny. It was so funny.

And like, she didn't let me in the front door, so I guess I have to go in through the back door now. And then there was like rust on the key that he actually put things. He's like, I've got to get rid of the brown residue. So it's just, you just gotta make sure the holes, like well lubricated so you can fit in the key and everything.

Oh, I love that shit, dude. Like normally anyone else, this would be like, this would be like third grade humor, but he's like, the way he delivers it was just so perfect. It's just so perfect. It's just a good channel. So that's good channel. Fuck, who else is like.

I think one of my favorite video of his, was like when, I can't remember the exact video name, but it was like some guy who had sent him a lock that he tried to get picked by like a professional lock pick or something. Yeah, and he said it was impossible. But I saw this one guy on YouTube do it and he just fucking destroys this lock in seconds.

It's like if you can do it in less than two minutes, I think the challenge was, he did it in like 10 seconds. Like he just, he sees a lock and it's already picked when he picked it up. Like I don't know how this man does it. He just, he just hockey, man. He's just like, Hucky, like, unlocks me. And it's, the best part is, there's, there's no bullshit to these videos.

There's no arrogance. He just, he's someone, he doesn't need to flex, you know what I mean? He's just really funny. He's just really good. There's minimal intro, they're all three minutes long, but you get exactly what you want. You normally end up, like, laughing or giggling. Like, it's just such, such, such. I love these, like, non-borshirt channels.

Like, um, like, I like daily dose of internet as well, just because it's, it's just, it's just, like, here's just, like, reddit top page, you know? Yeah. With no filler, you know what I mean. What I've seen on Twitter, such a nice dude as well. Yeah, yeah, exactly. So, I, okay, this is like super, I guess it's kind of old, but you know I'm a cutie pie?

Yes. You know, I'm a cute, is you know? He was a next league pro. Yeah, right. He's more of a streaming now, isn't he? He's a streaming now. And like, I wanna talk about him because like, I just think he's so funny and he looks like a homeless man.

That's like the joke. And, uh, but like, I don't know why, but for like six months in my life, I could not get to sleep unless his videos are playing in the background. He's got such a chill voice. He does have like that chill Jesus vibe, you know what I mean.

Right, right, right. It sounds like he's permanently stone. No, that's exactly what I thought. He's just so chill. Yeah. And yeah, no, I mean, he hasn't been uploading that much recently since things we've going through some stuff, but I love your channel, man, keep it up.

I love you, man. Man, what other channels do you guys like? I mean, if we're talking about league streamers or league content creators, there's one content creator. I have a head out. There's one content creator on one of shadow, which is G-Bay 99, which I've been following his channel

for a long while. And he used to make like very, let's say like, you know, YouTubery video. YouTube-y league videos, which is just like, you know, road to diamond where he basically tries to, you know, get his account to like high diamond or high master or whatever. But recently it's been, you know when you see a content creator

evolve and you feel like that proud father? Yeah, that's been me with G-bay because recently he's been starting to do these really in-depth league documentaries where- And even if you don't like the league, I think you can still enjoy it because it's such a good story. Yeah, because he basically breaks down

some of the most interesting stories in terms of like the league, e-sports scene because he has two passions. He's really passionate about sports and he's really passionate about league, right? So what he does is he basically makes these league documentaries that are basically just sports documentaries, right? And he goes through this entire history

or this narrative and breaks down like it's like a big sporting event. You know what I mean? And if you're like Somming Salt, you'll like him. I think he's also said in videos that he's been inspired. The reason why he started doing that content was because he saw summoning Salt. Right, right, right, right.

And obviously, you know, speed running is really specific. Yeah, yeah, thought, okay, well, I can make it about League. Yeah, okay. Because it's been great, because I've seen this transition, because he will, he like, he used to make videos. He was one of those people that made video dailies, videos dailies, right? And then he got to this point where he was just, like,

completely burnt out. And then he became the update video channel. Like, like, there was a period in his career where like every two videos was an update video. And it's like, I'm working on something big and I'm just, there's a new direction in my channel. And then he made like his first big documentary. And then he went from uploading every day

to uploading once every three months. But it's like what every one of his videos is a fucking banger now. Right. So good. Because every one of his, every story he chooses to present is like super interesting. And as someone who like didn't like,

I was like before before like came out as an anime fan or something, I would like, you know, pretend to be like a fucking sports fan or everything like that. And so seeing him presents League in the same way that, in the same compelling way that I see a lot of like sports documentaries and sports fans talk about their own sports was like so refreshing because nobody did it before him. And I thought it was just like so obvious that someone could do this basically. There's also Exile who does like super, that's more like league stories.

Yeah. Yeah. I really good though. I really enjoy Excel. But that's like hard to recommend to people who don't know League. But what are some gaming creators that you like, apart from the Pokemon ones? Because, wait, do you, do you, okay,

do you watch Angry Video Game Nerd? Uh, I, every now and then I do. I like, because I kind of grew up watching EvgN and like, I like going back, because like all of his old stuff is on YouTube still. No, no, yeah, I know, I know, I love it. So like, I love going back and watching, like the Spider-Man episode.

Like, that's still my favorite one. I think it's just nice in a, in YouTube, I think, where the platform is just constantly changing, everything's changing. Yeah. It's just nice. Having an anchor, like, Angry Video video game nerd.

It's just a constant, right? Like, you know, whether I enjoy the content, you know, it depends on the video, right? But it's just nice. Having a creator who's consistent, no drama, just constantly makes bangers like. Oh, he's fine. I think recently he made an earthbound video,

which was fucking, such a good video. That was like last year, I think, but it was really good. Every so often I go back and see, like, the parallels between what happened to angry video game nerd and what happened to nostalgia critic. Right. It's kind of crazy, yeah. Oh my God.

It's so jarring to see the evolution or the devolution, they were like the top two, they were like the top two fucking media critic reviewers. And just seeing like angry video game nerd being the anchor. And then whatever the fuck happened in the nostalgia critic. Did you see his game show? No, I did. So uh, yeah, he did a game show.

He funded it via crowdfunding. Right. A channel called Ralph the Movie Maker. I don't know if you know who that is. He does a really good movie reviews, really funny guy. Really like Gordon Ramsey-esque, like just really brutal. Really funny. Don't agree with this takes always, but yeah, really good guy.

Yeah, really good, good channel. But he did a video about the nostalgic critics game show and it is bad. Like, it looks like a school project and they spent like, they spent like, I think like $50,000 on it. Right. And it's, it's garbage.

Like, it is bad. Have you, like, remember that period in like YouTube reviewers where they had to have like a fucking story behind, behind the reviews? Do you remember that period? Yes. Where it was like channel awesome. They should do two hour reviews.

Do you remember that? And like the first 30 minutes was like a garbage skit. Yeah. Whereas ABGN was like, I can do that, but condense it into like 15 minutes, max. I think because it's also mega cheesy, whereas like, I think Nostalgia Critic is, they're like the same thing, right?

Yeah. The same quality, but almost, I mean, that's kind of the same thing where they're like cheesy, obviously like, very tongue and cheek, very tongue and cheek. They're playing a character as well. Obviously the two wanted to be seen different. Yeah.

The size of critique want to be seen as like mega professional with angry video game, no, it's happy being like, it's tongue and cheek. It's camp. Yeah, exactly. And that's so endearing where I'm seeing nostalgia critic try to be like, you know, what's the fucking movie he made?

It was like the Holy Grail or something. There was like two hours long, it was terrible. It was, I swear like, Nostalgia Critic has done so many fucking side projects that have just ended up being absolutely shit. Like he made, he made a fucking parody album of Pink Floods the Wall. Oh my God, I remember that.

And I didn't, I was like, the wall is like one of my favorite fucking album. Yeah, it's like, it's an album that's adored by everybody, the movie as well is fucking amazing. And then I listened to that album. I got like two songs in, I'm just like, I can't. But then I watched fucking needle drops. Yeah.

I'm absolutely destroying it. And I'm like, yes, this is why I love you, Anthony. It was so fucking good. It was just seeing a creator, just trying to do something that was so unnecessary. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like it's like you said, it was someone who obviously wanted to be respected and be seen as like someone who did something great.

But it was just so like, how can I, how can I do, how can I word this? If you, self-indulgent. Yeah, it was very self-indulgent, you know? Like, and it's like, and it was extra, like, cringy as well, just like seeing that, like, he was clearly trying to be, like, funny and edgy about it being like, I'm gonna trash

all over this album that everybody loves. I'm like, not everyone likes this album, dude, like, just chill out. The nostalgia critic is an OG YouTube channel that reviewed me of beast, by the way. Yeah. Did we mention that? Did we mention that, by the way, yeah.

I'm assuming that everyone who's, listening to this episode, give somewhat shit. Never mind about him, watch needle drop. He's great. I fucking love him. Yeah, I like Anthony Cantano. He was in New York Times as well recently. That was cool. Oh yeah, yeah, true.

It's pretty cool at YouTube's a good. I don't, I almost never agree with his opinions, but fucking hell that guy can. But that's the thing where I like about critics, the good ones on YouTube is that like, I don't have to agree with them, but like, damn, they're entertaining. Yeah, their input is still interesting. Yeah, yeah.

I think like, there's a lot of movie channels like that, like your movie sucks.org. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like his channel a lot. He did a really good video on, like the Lion King and Kimber comparison. It's like two hours fucking long. Yeah.

It's a really fucking good video. I really like his channel. I mean, obviously I don't agree with all the opinions. There's also probably one of my favorite movie critic guys is a guy called Spooky Rice. Oh, I showed you that, right? No, yeah, I think you and Aki were like super into it. Yes, I showed Aki because I wanted the, like,

because he reviewed like, all the, like, the worst horror movies. The worst horror, disgusting movies. Right. And he manages to be able to sit through it enough times that he can write a comprehensive review, but you just, none of it comes in because he shows it as well when it happens.

But like imagine that YouTuber, ukulele music, that kind of personality reviewing like a horror thing, like, yeah, so then he ate the shit! And it's like, what? Why are you saying it like? I didn't really like that scene though. Yeah. I fucking love his while his intro, which is like,

Goku or something. No, he's like, cue the Gohan. And then he's like, has a logo and then fucking creepy Gohan just like shows up. I'm like, there's not, So there's nothing, he just likes Gohan, I guess. I'm like, I respect that. What's your opinion on like YouTube intros?

Hmm. Because I personally don't use it. I mean, I sometimes I think that I have to do it to explain roughly what's gonna, like the premise, because sometimes the title doesn't really explain it and I wanna explain it. I mean, I just have it. I try to keep to a minimum.

Yeah, my intro is like two, three seconds. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, I'm not like fucking AVGN where I have a fucking theme song attached to, right? I don't mind if you have an intro, if it like serves a purpose, but the ones where it really, really pisses me off are like tutorials.

Yeah. I don't want, oh my fucking. I fucking hate tutorial channels or help channels that have a fucking intro. It's not even a tutorial or help channel. Fucking when, I don't know why, every time I want to look for a fucking Sony Vegas tutorial, there's always that fucking boom, bo do you know, da

they're always fucking editing some cod footage. I don't know why it's always cod. You know? And then on top of that, they make like a bullshit like five minute intro like trying to put in their personality. Like I don't care, I just wanna know how to edit this thing. Okay, so you picture it right,

you're trying to install windows. You get to the guy like, yo what's up fam, we just hit 5,000 subs. I think we can get 6,000 if you really like this. So if you like this video, don't we forget to comment, like, subscribe, because today we're gonna be reviewing the Windows installer. And when we break down the Windows install,

and it's like, oh my God, just tell me how to install window. And then it's like literally like 10 seconds. If we hit 500 likes, I'll do it. Windows 8 install. You know it's fucking redundant when you do a Google search and like how to solve X problem. And they put up the YouTube video that you need and literally skip a minute and a half ahead

to be like, here, Google's like here, here's where I think you'll enjoy starting. You don't need this fucking intro. Even the Google system is aware of how shit and pointless the intro is. I've optimized it. What I do is two monitors, right? You throw the tutorial on one tab

and you go to text on the name tab. So you go through the text. And if you can find it on the text before it gets mentioned in the video, you win. Yeah. No, it's so fucking shitty right, because you have this like minute and a half of intro.

So what you do is you start, you start watching it times two speed. Then the fucking tutorial itself, they speed through the information so fast and you're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on a second there. And you have to fucking skip back to be like, yo, yo, yeah, it can be like a five minute video and the tutorials like the last 30s.

Yeah, exactly, right? So egregious. Oh my God. What are some, I have some other gaming channels that I think I did. Yeah, I got some gaming channels as well. I know that you watched, Dark Main as well.

I think Dark Main's really funny. Really good comedic delivery. Like jokes, he's literally the definition of jokes that aren't funny, but when you deliver them well, they're just so fucking hilarious. Yeah, yeah. He's so funny and I met him once,

I don't think he remembers, because he was very briefly, but he was the exact same as his videos. Yeah. He does, he blew up with Lee content, but he does general gaming stuff as well. Yeah. Just a really odd guy. Yeah. Is he exactly like he is in his videos?

When I met him, he seemed like that. Okay. So he does. That's always endearing, isn't. Yeah. He does like, very like, what's it, like dry delivery of like unfunny jokes, sometimes funny jokes, you know, but either way it's always funny.

And I met him in real life and he was wearing, like, he was dressed up as Thanos. He had like purple, because he's purple. Right, right, right. He had like a glove on and I met him. And he for some reason, he just like completely unrelated, he was like, I'm Thanos. And I was like, oh, I see that.

Sick. And I was like, yeah, okay, nice. And I was like, all right. Because I met his friend, Red Ride, as well. really funny dude, really nice guy. Makes great content. Also, oh, who arecom. Yeah, one of my favorite gaming content creators

is Corey Gaming. About the fighting games stuff. Yeah, about the fighting game. Oh yeah. He does some of the best analytical content on YouTube, in my opinion, because his content is all about fighting games, but he breaks it down in a way that's so general

that anyone, that one makes you fucking interested in finding games, even though I have zero interest in finding games, you know what I mean? I have zero interest, zero knowledge, about finding games. I come out of a Correy gaming video. I'm like, yeah, you know. You are the type of dude who sees like a how to tutorial

and like how to start fishing. Gant's like buying a rod on Amazon. Like that is so gone, gone gets in. Got like, you watch the AlphaGo documentary right. And like the next week after a GON watch this documentary about Gow was like, I wanna buy a Go boy. Let's play Go. No, because because I, like my one niche

is watching videos I have zero interest in. I like that too, but like watching, watching watching a content creator basically be able to break it down in a way that makes me interested in it. That's true. That is my niche in interest and that is what I wanna do with like anime to like with my own content. And that's like the content creator I respect.

So like with Corey Gaming, he like breaks down fighting games on like I think like a social level. He goes into like the psychology of why, of why people act the way they do in fighting games. Like he, like, some of, honestly, I think like every video he's done is a banger when it's like an analysis video. Okay, but he literally like,

breaks down the psychology of what goes into like the fighting game community, why salt in the fighting game community is like such a big thing. And it's, and he also has like some really interesting stories in between all of this analysis. And it's just like the complete package. It's everything you want in an analytical video,

but just it's just fighting games. But you have, you can have zero interesting fighting games and you can appreciate what he does because a lot of his analysis can be applied to pretty much just life in general. Like he, he, like, There's a lot of like, he ends a lot of his videos with like a nice little message, you know what I mean?

Which can be applied to a lot of things in life. Like something you can take away. Yeah, yeah, exactly. I just watch more of his stuff because I don't think I'm sub, but. Yeah, I can check him out. I think another, a few of the gaming challenge I like, obviously Little Cubs who does the Mario speed runs,

he did the best ship post of all time. Because obviously Dunkie, which we all like. Yeah, everyone loves Dunkin. Is that the guy who does the Bowser's big green-ridor? So, Dunkie did like the whole joke in his Mario make a video. If you guys didn't know Dunk I mean, you should know,

he's at the biggest gaming channel. Yeah. He did a video where he like made his own level and got the world record on it and was like bragging about it. And then obviously, Donkey makes some excuses in his videos when he can't beat a Mario Maker level. Like, oh, you know, my little brother was playing.

I was playing with a USB steering wheel. I was blind folded, yeah. So this YouTube creator, Little Cubs, he also is just a god at Mario, like an absolute god, who gets like the world record on everything. Like, I think he's won like every Nintendo speed run competition on Mario Maker.

Right. He did a video where he obviously did, Monkey's course blindfolded with a steering wheel. It's so fucking good. Like, I love that level of shit posting. It was such an amazing shit post, but there's also like a second layer of enjoyment, actually seeing him do it.

Like he's actually insane. He's an actual fucking god out of it. It's ship posting has gotten to the point where you need to be like, the shit posting itself is just your pure skill. Yeah, you know what I mean? It's insane, it's so good. And also other gaming creators that I like,

I don't know if you see Nitro Rad. He just, just like, I know the name. He's like, like, essays on gaming. And it's just like, it's like that warm feeling of like watching YouTube in 2014. Right, right, right. Just watching someone talk about video games.

Really like just, just passionate. Like, I don't think, I think there's nothing that's like, oh my God, he's hilarious or like, there's nothing that's like mega, like, whoa, super unique. Just all around, just a great package. Right, right. Super such a nice guy and just seems really into it and really loves his gaming stuff.

That's always the basis. Yeah, yeah. One gaming YouTuber I like, like, I kind of respect for a, different reason is relax relax. Just because like I got into him because he did this like amazing analytical video on persona five. Yeah, right. And like I respect him because his editing is fucking next level.

Yeah. And it's like it's so bittersweet watching a dude who is like relatively not that big on the YouTube sphere. Who can just fucking crank out like just these incredibly well edited videos, right? I mean like the whole reason why like, you know, our editor mood on like the The reason why I got into his stuff is because that dude's editing on his videos is fucking next level, right? And it's like, I don't know, I respect him as a YouTuber and as someone who edits,

like videos and whatnot. And I'm just like, if anything, I've gotten a lot of like good editing ideas, like creative ideas from his videos, being like, oh shit, I never thought to do something like that, but that's pretty cool. I felt bad for the dude, I think he got a bit of drama.

Yeah, he did, didn't he? And I think he was like, I mean, I don't know what was, you know, right and wrong, but I think that he was uploading a lot of videos about it to his channel. I was like, dude, I know that you should upload this many videos. Yeah, yeah. You think you upload like two videos

in the space for a week about it. And I was like, no, don't do this man. Just double down, dude, we've established, just double down. I do wanna also mention that if we did recommend any YouTubers that turn out to have done some fucked up stuff, yeah, we don't know that,

we're just recommended based on purely content. We're separating the creators from the creation as much as possible. And also we don't follow everything going on and everything. I mean, a lot of these dudes, we just watch and like the content, we don't keep up with what they do in their personal life.

Whatever they do, that's on them, but like, yeah, I'm sure one of these creators who mentioned is gonna be like, they, they've motivated someone. Yeah, yeah. They touched a kid or something. Exactly right. It's obviously when, you know, PewDiePie recommended YouTube

is he gotten shit for that. Yeah, right. I mean, but yeah, I wanna make that known that any creators that we recommend, please don't witch hunters for it. Also, finally, I have one last gaming creator that I wanna recommend. So I've been watching this guy for like forever.

He's called like Cadicarus and he did like, his whole thing way back was that he used to do just PS1 game reviews. And it was kind of sad because I felt like he'd stagnated for a long time just doing PS1, PS2 games. And it was kind of like, all right, nice. And he wasn't really growing much. And then I'd say like last year he really turned it around

and started doing some really damn good videos, like insane amounts of effort, like hour long videos about like skateboarding games, and he's just really upped it. And like the amount of edits in this dude's videos are insane. And he's just broadening out a lot more and he's just making some really good shit right now. So if you like gaming content,

and also he's British and it fuels sometimes like his jokes are like British kids TV shows. Yeah. And it's like, it's weird because like you can see. Like how so? Very stupid and very like, I don't know, very crack-hedy. And it feels very childish at times. But it's just, it's good and you know, if you're a 12 year old you can enjoy it.

And if you're a 24 year old like I am, you can still enjoy it and it's a bit silly. Are we talking like poopoo pee-poo-pee levels of children? Sometimes. I think for that. I thought about it. It's just nice, like you said earlier, it's nice singer creator, just step it up.

And like, I just want to give credit where credits do and uh. It's especially nice to see a creator step up when they haven't made 70 update videos about them leveling up, right? It's like just just level up. Yeah, it's hard right? When you're a creator, when you're stagnating, I've been there.

Like it's really hard to just be like, you know what? Fuck it. I'm gonna, I'm gonna put all this effort in. I'm gonna take a risk. It might not work out. And like, you know, most of the time it doesn't work out, but you have to keep it up. You have to keep taking those risks to get those awards.

And it's nice seeing, because I can relate, someone who's stuck in doing fucking Black Butler for like two years. I can really relate to getting out of it. And I really wanna give credit what credits do. Yeah, because I feel like there is a space for update videos, but at the end of the day,

the audience, like, for the most part, don't really give a shit, you know what I mean? If you're gonna drop something big, then just drop something big. If you're not, then you're like, what you can convey in an update video can be conveyed within your next project. Right, no way.

Unless it's gonna be like, I'm gonna be away for like a fucking month or two, you know what I mean? And that's just like calling in sick for your boss, you know what I mean? Like, right gang, I'm not gonna be be uploading for a month just calling in sick. Yeah. It's also the element of surprise, right?

Like I've noticed that like whenever I upload something big or something completely different with no pre-warning whatsoever, it usually does better than if you do give some kind of hints to it because people aren't expecting it and therefore I think it gets people talking about it more. Yeah. I think it's unfortunate, but at the end of the day, YouTube, it doesn't recognize the comments, it doesn't recognize any of that, it recognizes clicks and watch time.

So if you can get that, that's a bigger statement than being like, hey guys, I'm going to do you some big. Yeah, yeah, exactly. One niche YouTuber I wanna recommend is Marshall McGee. And he is basically a professional sound designer who breaks down sound designs in like games and movies and anime. And it's like, I feel like,

because he's only at like 50,000 subscribers or something, but I feel like it's because sound design is such a niche topic that nobody thinks about, but he breaks it down into like basically, he hears like a sound from like Dark Souls or something. And he was like, okay, Here's how I would like make this sound. And he like breaks down this entire process

of like layering. Really hard. Every sound he does. And it's just like it's, I feel like sound design is one of those topics that just doesn't get enough appreciation. Oh yeah, it's insane. Yeah, and I feel like a channel like Marsha Mogee

like breaking down what actually goes into this is like super interesting as well. Just like how much effort and like knowledge it takes to be like, okay, this is what I think like, how would you take a sound that doesn't exist and like create it? in your head and like actually make the sound that like you hear in your head into like into an actual into an actual s effects. Yeah I mean it's like the cartoon sounds like a

boing like what makes a boing sound nothing makes a boing sound effect. Yeah I I remember I remember seeing a video a while back I don't know if it's still up it was really old video of this guy who did who broke down one sound in one cartoon and it was the fucking you know and Scooby-Doo you know when they go running like when the running sound Like that sound, it was just a video breaking down how they made that sound and why it's so iconic. And just finding out what it was and how they made it

and how they came up with that I did. I was like, how do you even think of that? Yeah, exactly. It's like, it's just so, it's so, it's something that you just weren't expecting. It's like, oh, it's probably just like a bunch of mallets. It's like, no, completely wrong. Yeah, it's also strange.

I mean, like, we think we're getting punched. When you punch, it doesn't make a punch sound. You just get punched. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that was another video where I saw like a folia like how Hollywood makes the punching sounds. And they break leak to break bones. Yeah, yeah, it's like,

like, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's like, shit's so interesting. Yeah, yeah. I definitely do watch a lot of, like, music-based YouTubers, right, for anything. I think some music ones I like, there's a guy called Joe Jeremiah. He doesn't upload much, but he does like melodies

of like games and anime shows, like piano. It's really good. Okay. Just good, just melodies, feel like melodies. We're counting the Seth Everman as like. Seth Heatherman, now, obviously, like, and post channel. Yeah, yeah.

That's the one thing I fucking love about like the music YouTuber community is that their shit posting game is on another fucking level. It's so shitposty and yet they're all so fucking talented. Obviously like Davey 504 as well. Yeah, Davey 504 and like Seth Everman's another one and like even like John Sudano was another one. Like the fucking like the fat dude who like

Oh yeah yeah yeah. Of all these songs but replaced the lyrics with Smash Mouth. Shitty flute as well. Oh yeah. shitty flutes, shitty flutes. I don't know, like, a lot of the music content I consume is mostly just shitposting. Oh yeah, I mean.

And music channels, there's only so much you can do with it. And they've gotten really creative with shit posting. Yeah, yeah. It's got so good. Ten second songs is another one that's like super talented dude, but at the end of the day you finish the video and you're like, I just watched the shit post. That was a shit post, but it's so good.

Do you guys watch any like horror YouTubers, any horror, any horror voice? Define horror YouTubers. Just talk about horror? Like corpse husband? and stuff like that. Yeah, not really. Copson, isn't horror is he? Or used to, but he used to do like creepy pasta stuff, right?

I guess so, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Mr. Creepasta like this. Or like Mr. Creepasta, like Mr. Creepasta. I met him in real life. Oh, really? Did you? Yeah. How was he?

It's a lot. I mean, I feel like it takes a little quirky personality, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was nice, but, you know, odd by my British. I mean, okay, too, most Americans are odd. I'm trying to save this. Now, you were very pleasant, but I guess you were a little bit of old, right?

Wait, don't we have an entire clip of that? Which is like Americans are different species. Oh, yeah, we have. Yeah, yeah, we do. Check out that clip. There's obviously Rainbot who did the Mr. Anime video. Oh, yeah. Oh, that one.

My unexpected cameo in that one. Yeah, yeah. There's a next photo some pretty good ones as well. I really like his video, Arreditors dive into turmoil. That's really good. Have you seen that? That's about where the woman who are asked

a subreddit for help, a man asked to help a subredite to get custody of a kids. And then the wife killed them both when she saw the subreddit. Yikes. And it's just a really, I know that story. I've showed you, yeah, I've showed you. It's a really like, you just didn't expect the video to go that way.

It's really just chilling video. And I highly recommend. I mean, we all know, we all know the best horror channel is chills, my boy chills. Oh God, the greatest. Number 10, Burger King Foot lettuce. Dude, I can't tell you how fucking happy I was that I was in one of these videos.

Yeah. And he said my name, I was like, I've made it as a YouTube. I like, that's, it's peak. Have you seen the video where he just talks? He's such a genuine and nice guy as well. Like, chills. Yeah, because like, that's just how he talks, right? Yeah, that's how he talks.

Yeah, because everybody thinks he's like purposely trying to make this, like, annoying accent, but like, I've seen videos where he just, like, talks off script. That's just how he talks. You just wanna give him a high five, man. Yeah. He's so nice, bless him. Dude, chills, I fucking love you. Like, come on to, please come onto the podcast.

It would be the most amazing sounding podcast. Also, a guy who popped up, not too long ago, are barely sociable. He does a really good video. He did a really good video on the Silk Road as well. Oh, I might've seen that. What's the Silk Road? It was the website that was famous

on the Deep Web for selling drugs. Oh, okay. And I thought it was some like mastermind criminal organization, but it turned out it was just some dudes like petty infighting about getting controlled. I feel like I've seen a lot of these guys' content on like my recommended. Probably, probably.

It's because like, it's not the type of content I would subscribe to, but like if it's an interesting enough topic, I'm willing to fucking click on anything am I recommended. What about educational channel boys? What educational channels do you guys watch? Oh, I mean, Vsauce is the one that, they haven't uploaded in a while, but back, you know,

is it even V source anymore? Because he's doing like minefield or mine, yeah, I haven't seen any of those, really. He had a channel called Dong, do you remember that? Yeah, I remember that. And then YouTube forced him to change it to, like, ding. Yeah. Because Dong was obviously-

Sounds like penis, yeah. I can't believe that, that's awful. Are we, are we counting, like, engineering fucking videos? Yeah, yeah, of course, of course. Because I feel like, Engineering has had like a fucking resurgence within the past few years, thanks to creators like Michael Reeves, William Osmond.

Mark Roba. And Mark Rober. And like I didn't, like I wish they were around when I was in fucking universe. Yeah, right? Because I didn't know engineering could be cool until they started making content, man. I think especially the shit posting ones like Michael Reeves.

I mean, I found Michael Reeves when he was doing like, when he was branded as like the laser guy. Yeah. He made one video about a laser pointing in his eye. Yeah. And for like months, his channel was, like everything about the laser. Yeah, and it was so cool seeing him blow up

and also just making engineering cool. Yeah, like him and William Osman and Mark Robes. I think the latest video, the latest creator I discovered was stuff made here. Oh, I love stuff made here. And he's just, he's just like someone who is just, I don't know what it is about him that like stands out like even more because he's not a shit poster one.

No, no. He's like a very serious engineering one, but he just makes these really cool contraptions. And some of the stuff he makes takes so much It's insane how high the bat, like the bar for like good engineering is there. Yeah. Yeah. What the fuck?

Like like he did he made a baseball bat that it has like four shells in it. So when you hit it, it explodes and eject a thing that shoot the baseball. Basically he, the concept was he wanted to make a baseball bat that anyone could use to like get a home run. Right, right, right. Like to like, yeah, break the world record for home run. And so he fucking just fucking puts shotgun shells into this baseball bat and he, and he, he's just fucking put shotgun shells into this baseball bat. And he breaks down his entire process about how to make this feasible. And it's like the first, the first problem he had to overcome was like,

he made a baseball bat that worked, but anyone who would use it would fucking break their arm if they used it, right? And it's like his level, his like knowledge and level of engineering is just like on a different fucking scale. Fantastic presentation as well. Yeah, and great presentation. There's actually a Japanese YouTuber. I don't watch many Japanese YouTubers, but, because frankly, they're all quite mere.

But there's one Japanese YouTuber who like blew up recently or like quite recently. And who's like kind of like, he's like halfway between engineering and just absolute shit post. He's called Sushira Mendikku. Okay. And he does these videos where it's basically just him having fun.

Just like- The guy who like ejects himself on like a car? Yes. Yes. I was insane. He does like, he basically is like, he was the one who popularized the, if you carve out a watermelon and then you boil salt water to a thousand degrees and you pour it in, the watermelon explodes.

Who found that out? He did, apparently, but like, a recent one that he did was like, he was like, I love popcorn. So I'm gonna make a, I think it was like a 50 meter long popcorn container and just fill it up with popcorn. And then he did that and it's fucking massive and it's all filled up with popcorn.

But then he took it one step further and he invited his friends and he pranked them by making this fake room in his studio so that the, popcorn would fall in as if it would cave into the house. And it was fucking insane. And the videos are so short. He just managed to like condense that shit

into like a five minute video. It sounds like David Dobrick, right? Just doing it. Yeah, it is. He just does the most insane shit. Like there was another one where he like, you know, he wanted to replicate the force of someone going into space, but obviously he couldn't afford a rocket.

So what he did was he created this contraption where it would explode underneath him and it would just eject him out. Yeah, that's so dangerous. And he flew like 15 meters into the space. the air and almost broke his neck and he's just laughing the entire time. I'm like, this guy's a fucking psycho, but he's so fun to watch.

And Japanese YouTubers are like insane. But that's the thing, it's like, he's a Japanese YouTuber, like he can only speak Japanese and all that, but he just presents things. It's so visual that you don't have to understand what he's saying to be such an entertaining video. Yeah, like we're getting, we're now getting to the point in YouTube

where to stand out, you need to like have genuine qualifications and experience behind the stuff you do because like some of these, a lot of these, creators that we've mentioned can easily get jobs in their field, in their professional field. Yeah, like the Sushinamindiku, I think he's only like 18. Oh my God.

And he's just like a fucking wizard engineer. Jesus Christ. I mean it goes to show that right, because like the quality of the engineering is like so insane at this point. Yeah, yeah. Like the top channels that are doing it are like, oh my God. Yeah.

Like I have an engineering degree and I'm like baffled by some of the shit. Like absolutely. Three years. Wasted. I have a master's in engineering. And some of the stuff they're coming up with this, just like man, is this is this what I would

done if I had stayed in my engineering course. Michael Ruse and he made the fucking surgery robot. Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. What the fuck? I met him as well and he was like the nicest dude ever, right? Like, uh, because we were at the anime awards and he was leaving and we didn't really get a chance to talk much. And he came over just to say bye to me.

Like that sounds like wow dude, like people don't normally do that. That's really, yeah. I mean, and Lily Peachy was super nice. Yeah. Like what I've seen the offline TV crew just seemed like just great. Yeah. Trash taste offline TV collab when? Question mark.

When the world opens up. When the world opens up and we can fly to places or they can fly to places, who the fuck knows? I watch so many fucking educational channels. Like obviously, like everyone watches CPG Gray. Yeah. Do you guys watch Tom Scott? Yeah, I watched Tom Scott.

I know the name, yeah. I'm not subscribed to Tom Scott, but man, he, his videos will not leave my record. He's one of those channels that I just know. We've got like, I don't even need to subscribe to your channel for them to appear on your recommendation. I used to, whenever I used to go to the YouTube studio in London, He's always there, like just editing his videos.

And I never said hi, because I felt bad, just editing, but he seems like a, he seems like a machine. I respect, yeah. I respect, because I respect his work ethic, because he has like a schedule. I don't know how he's able to upload so consistently with like the amount of videos he has.

Also, Corona and he's somehow still going abroad. Yeah. And like he has like really interesting ideas so consistently. Like his video where, where it was about like this video has X amount of views that just fucking blew up. He made that. He made that.

I knew his name was familiar. He's blonde hair, red shirt. Yes, yes, yes. I know him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, that guy. And what impresses me the most, actually, is how he's able to present his information

with like zero cuts, like, without a script, just in one thing. He just remembers it. He just remembers it. Like, how does he do that? I remember he did like a Dissani video about like Dissani, the water bottle. It was like a five-minute video.

He did it all in one take, walking down the street. And I'm like, what? Like, this is insane. How are you doing this? This is so professional. So good. Like I'm reading off a script and even I need like five takes

to get one fucking line sometimes. I do love the memes of like, oh, I'm here, have you seen those memes? Yeah, yeah, breaking, breaking down the Tom Scott. Obviously there's Kirk is, Kerkast. Kirsts Gats. Everyone loves him, I mean, who doesn't. Wasn't he like, didn't he tried to change his name to like in a nutshell?

In a nutshell. No, it's Kerskastat in a nutshell. Yeah, yeah. I like Veritasium as well. He's really good. Veritasium's amazing. Yeah, real life law. Yeah, real life law I like.

Obviously, he's smarter every day as well. Yeah, yeah, is. Do you guys watch, you've seen Mike Boyd, the guy like learns things. Like, he'll like spend like a week just learning something and he won't stop the video until he does it. So like he'll learn, there's one video where he learned to shatter glass with his voice.

I feel like I've seen that. Probably still a thumb-nokes everywhere. I feel like I've seen that. And he just learns like completely fucking useless skills. I know a boy in a band did kind of a parody of that where he learned to sing in 30 days. Oh, yeah, yeah, that's cool, yeah. Which was really cool, yeah.

Really good videos, I highly recommend it. There's also, fuck, like, casually explained is also kind of similar to like. Is he educational or is he meme? Do you know, do you know, Salmonella? Oh, do you know Samanella? He does like casually explained,

but more educational. No, I know Salmona. Because, here's the thing, like, I think that's the part. Here's his thing, like, there's like, there's like engineering and, what are you, educational YouTubers, and then there's like,

Cazinianian and Tiersu, who are just like, I mean, what they say is technically correct, but is anyone actually watching them to be like educated? Not really. No, probably not. Have you watched, do you watch J. Foreman? I do not watch J. Formen. He does videos mainly about London,

like history of London and stuff. And like, it's just so insane how well produced these videos are. I also met him ages ago, probably doesn't remember, because it was like fucking four years ago. Yeah. And he's just obsessed with London. And, uh, but his videos are so fucking well done. And they're so funny.

And like, he'll, he'll just do a shot where he's just in the middle of the street in London for like two seconds. But he has to get there, he had to set it all up. It's like, it's insane. Wow. And it's just all to talk about London, most of the time. I'd highly recommend it, uh, if you like, just general history about London.

Fair enough. I mean, recently like, I've definitely found myself, I used to not watch a lot of the YouTube videos from like the really like big, corporate channels. Yeah. I don't really like the corporate channels. Yeah, you know, like, I used to look at like Wyatt and box channels and be like,

ah, it's just like a fucking corporate. Like I watch a channel called Cheddar sometimes, but I feel just so sad watching it. Yeah. Okay, that name sounds familiar. What did they do? Because they always see the video like, why New York has big skylines.

Yeah, yeah. Why electric cars aren't in America? It's like such generic titles of like, I don't know why Walmart is big. And it's like, every single video is so lifeless. Yeah. And like, it's informative. I would say there's sad.

There is one kind of like, I'd say corporation kind of video that I do enjoy. And I don't know if this is the name of the channel, but the name of the series is like big great story. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where they actually have like really cool and interesting stories.

Yeah, that's good. Like, I think one of my favorite videos of them was like they, they were in Japan and there was this like Japanese person who sells painting made in Microsoft Excel. What? I haven't seen that. I've never seen that one. So there's this guy who, there was this Japanese guy

who just like, he just wanted to express himself. Of course, he had zero skills. They do a lot of job. Japan. They do do a lot of things in Japan, but like he had zero skills and like painting and like, you know, art skills. So he just started like making pictures

in Microsoft Excel. And they actually like, he's been doing it for so long that they started to become really fucking good. Right. And it was just like such a like uplifting story to just be like, it doesn't really matter what your tools are. Now that is a big great story.

That is a big great story. That is a big great story. They're always super concise as well. They're not too long. It's just great. There's also another story about this fucking soup that is being like made in Thailand or something that was like 50 years old.

Yeah, that's like been boiling for 50 years. I remember watching it and it was just like, they didn't fucking wash the place at all. So the oil had been built up. So there was a fucking mountain next to this massive pot. So gross. Have you been there? I have not been there.

Are you gonna go back down when you go to Thailand? I'm like, if you ever like take us to Thailand, which I'm sure will happen eventually, We really wanna go there. I actually wanna like see if it's good or not. If you guys want a channel called Captain Disillusion? Yes, I love Captain Disillusion. He goes like the 3D like visual effects guy, right?

He's just like a good blender. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He just breaks things down so fucking well and he like, he's too talented for YouTube is what I think. There are just some channels out there that I just, like Cardo Digital is one, which is like, way too talented for YouTube. I feel bad because he doesn't upload often,

but you can tell that he like, I don't know, maybe he just wants to do a bit more. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I found him ages ago, because he's been uploaded him for like 10 years. Yeah, his first videos are in like 360P. Oh, Jesus. So, yeah, I mean, he came up at the same time

as like Freddy W and Rocket Jump. I think they didn't blow up until like two years ago. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Because I remember, I remember it was like, back in the day it was like Freddie W and Rocket Jump fucking taking over the YouTube scene and then every other VX VFX specialist was like after him. Yeah.

And then, you know, they kind of like did their own thing and then that gave way to other people like Corridor Digital and everything like that. Yeah, I mean there's also another channel I like, you know that Johnny Harris, the guy who left Vox, the guy used to do the borders on Vox. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he started his own channel,

and it's just the same thing. Oh, okay. Same good quality, I'd recommend it. It's already been blowing up a lot on YouTube, so I'm sure you've probably seen the videos and you recommended. But the video of like, why do Americans eat dessert for breakfast?

That blew up a ton. You seen that video? I think so, yeah. I've seen that. One, like, as I said, like, once, I never used to watch Vox or anything, but like, their Earworm series is so fucking good. Like, because it's essentially like a one person

who's in charge of that at Vox. Yeah, yeah, it's like one woman at Vox who just like does all these like really in-depth analysis documentaries on like music history and stuff like that. It's, dude, the editing is fucking insane. It's so good. This episode is sponsored by Book Walker. Book Walker has announced their year end ranking results

for the best selling e-books of 2020. Yay! Yes. Wow, wow. And until December, Number eight, you can get up to 50% coin back on series that made it on the list. Fuck off, no way.

So this is the top overall rankings. Are the best selling books on Bookwarker this year? Yes, about. You should go through the rankings of the top three, so I think, Joe, you can start with number three. Well, number three is My Next Life as a Villainess. All routes lead to Doom, light novel. Hell yeah, no, no, the Isakai.

This. I have not read this one, gentlemen. I have not read this one. But I have read the second one, which is a sentence of a bookworm. That's actually really fucking cute, Lionel. That is cute. And it's really well received, like really good.

It kind of gives me like spice and war vibes. Oh, okay. Yeah, so it's really good. Connor, have you heard of the first one? Yeah, I can announce this one. Don't worry. I get asked this a lot. I can announce this one if you like. Go ahead, gone.

It is, you are my princess volume collections. Wait, I've heard of. Hell yeah, oh my God. Oh my God. He got the dub. He got the dub, gentlemen. Certificate of achievement. God damn.

Wow. Best selling e-book of 2020. Frame, frame that, frame that and put it on your. Congratulations, C-Dog VA, number one selling e-book of 2020. You are my Princess Volume 1. And I've got a bouquet to go with it. Wow, wow. What a magical.

Where's my flowers, Malin? You know, I just want to thank everyone involved. Me. No, shout to everyone to help me. I do it. Wow. Wow. It's like, yeah, the other funds help me.

Let's just shout out. There's so many people to, like, there's so many people involved. Dude, it's epic. I mean, it's crazy to me that something that fucking I made could sell as much as other like legitimate shit. Yeah. The audiobook version, right?

Yeah. I don't know, it's crazy. Hey man, you know, when you make a story around a product, I feel like people are more likely to give it a shot, you know? Fair enough. I think people could see my blood, sweat and tears. It's really awkward to hold. I'll put it that up for now.

Yeah, I don't know. Thank you. Thank you, Bookwalker. So, moving on to the top manga. Well, well, well, well. Why did we start with the top Overall, Malin. I feel like it should have been the last category. Yeah.

So the top manga selling overall at number three is, Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro. Oh, Nagatoro. Yeah. That's a good manga. I'm surprised that's number three. I'm surprised it's number three. It is a good manga.

It's cute. Wholesome, Tangle, cute. Number two. Number two. The cultured individuals. Really? Is interspecies reviewers at number two. Am I surprised?

No. That just means there are that many degenerates on Book Walker right now. I'm very happy. I'm proud of you boys. I'm proud of you boys. But overall, of course, we have to talk about the number one top manga, which- I don't want to talk about it.

I don't, I don't. What is it? It is you all my princess. All you know, all you in a lot, should you know, I'm two years in a row now. Let's go. Oh, damn it. All right, and we got also the top selling light novels.

And number three is that time I got Reinh Karnas a slime, the light novel, which I've never actually read. I've only read the manga for this. Yeah. The manga's brilliant. There is a manga adaptation, then there was the anime. Yeah, the anime was great. I loved it.

Yeah, anime was nice. And then number two is, same one, the My Next Life as a Villainess, which we already established. And then number one is a sentence of a book one. Yes. Some great light novel series. I'm glad a sentence of a book one got number one, because that is honestly. I'm surprised, I didn't realize there were that many people

reading it. It's a really refreshing. Because no one's talking about the anime, but like my next life as a villainess and slime, definitely got a lot more talk and discussion. Yeah, I saw on Crunchy all that it was quite popular. my next life is illness. Yeah, it was.

Yeah. But I'm really shocked with the you are my princess results, man. Damn, that really did well. Alright, get your hand off it. Again, until December the 8th, you can get up to 50% coinback on series that made it on the list so you can check out Bookwalker.

Links down in the description below. And thank you once again to Bookwalker for sponsoring this episode. Also, congratulations to Conquer Congratulations to this fucker. I can't wait to frame this A4 printed paper. I can't wait to get three years and a row. Not even glossy paper mail-in?

Seriously? Is this a PowerPoint? Like, a PowerPoint? It's a PowerPoint. It's this morning. I don't actually care. I had a great time making it. I got a bang of a video.

That's all I ever wanted. This is like that student that turns in the homework five minutes before it's like Jew. You know what I mean? I got it. I get points for this, right? It's like, hey, you've done your homework? There's homework?

Shit, okay. Well, the power of Yowie. Thank you, Book. Thank you very much to the spirit. sponsor of this episode, Brooke Walker, back to the video. So question to you guys, is there anything, or anyone you wanna shout out who has actually influenced your own content or anything

about your own channel? Oh man, I've, yeah, I've so many people. I mean like, I feel the majority of at least, man, you sound like a fucking panel or like Gowa right now. It's always the question I get asked at every panel. Who inspired you, Joey? I don't know.

I guess I'll go first then. Because I guess the first one I want to shout out is Philip DeFranco, because I've been watching Phil since 2006. And he's been like, he's been the one content creator who I've basically followed for his entire career because I followed him from the beginning.

And, you know, he, at the moment, he does a love of the news and everything like that. But, you know, I started, you know, I started seeing his progression when he was like more vloggy and just talking about stuff on the internet and girls and everything like that. And I, like, he was like probably the biggest inspiration for me, not as like for the content on my channel,

but how to approach YouTube as a job and as, as a business. Like I probably would not be here right now if it wasn't for Phil, because basically during my break when I was at the BBC and I was like trying to figure out how to come back to YouTube, like a lot of the stuff he said before about how YouTubeers and content creators should think about their career

as like a proper career and how it's like broaden, um, broaden their income and everything. I basically got a lot of that from a lot of the things Phil had been saying for like years. Right, right. So he's the person I wanna shout out because he has been like a massive inspiration for me

and I took a lot of what I'm doing now or the way I'm doing now behind the scenes from all the advice that he's given over the years. Yeah, for me it's like, I don't know, like my biggest inspiration is for like how to do YouTube and like how to present myself on YouTube. Weirdly enough came from like all of the kind of the big OG YouTube's back in the day.

So like, you know, the aforementioned like AVGN, I used to watch a lot of his stuff. And like, you know, basically YouTube is that everyone knows, like, you know, fucking Felix, obviously, Gaghan Grams, if we're talking like actual, like regular vloggers, like, Ryan Higa was like a massive interest. Oh, right. Like, I used to watch like every fucking Niga Higa video

that came out just because like, it's just really good shit. And it's just like such a fucking, like, personable dude. Yeah. And like, definitely like the way like he used to like vlog, especially like where he would just sit in front of a camera and talk about whatever, like, I took a lot of inference from that because that's,

What I do, I just come in front of a camera, just talk about whatever, right? Yeah. And like, you know, like, smosh back in the day, you know, like, they had like such fucking overwhelming power in the YouTube sphere, whereas basically, if you're on YouTube like anywhere before 2012, like it was fucking impossible to not watch them, right?

Yeah, yeah. So it was because like, I guess like when I first got into like YouTubers, like, I never really went directly to like a niche that I was interested in because I just wasn't aware of that. Right. So I would just basically watch like all the, big guys and they influence me, you know, in small parts.

I mean like in terms of like anitube is probably like, probably like, probably like my biggest influence, but you know, which anituber hasn't been influenced by demo. So I think demos influence everyone in like at least a little way. Because I was around before demo, but I feel like it's even, it's impossible to like think of antitube content before demo. Like I mean, like after demo, it's, it all, he changed the field completely. Yeah, absolutely.

Come back demo, please. I cannot think of my inspirations. I mean, obviously I was watching, you know, I'm my own inspiration. No, I know I've taken like, you know, I've definitely been taking bits and pieces, right? Like definitely like parts of, you know, Pew Piper, obviously growing up watching him

and high school watching him. Just bits and pieces, I think, from a lot of different people, but I just can't think of like anyone of top of my head that has been like huge. Yeah, that's the thing, right. It's like, when you watch so much content, especially on YouTube, it's like,

it's not just one person, right? Because otherwise you just end up being exactly like that. Exactly, right, right. Exactly. I mean, I'm sure we can distill down a lot of our influences and, you know, take bits here and there. But I have more time, maybe I can break it down

and figure out exactly, like, which ones really, like, gave me my style. Yeah, it's hard to say, because obviously I pivoted my content so much, I know there was inspirations there, right, into doing that. And, you know, it's not to say that, like, you know, we still get inspired to this day, right, with new influences and whatnot, like, you know,

I'm sure, like, the majority of the YouTube as we talked about today, they've influenced us in some small regard, right? We have just listed probably 90% of, like, our influence today. Yeah, basically. You know what I mean? Just in this two hour podcast.

Yeah, is there any one else you guys wanna shout out? I've got a bunch of channels that we didn't really like talk about. That I could just speed runs for a speed run. Okay, okay, let's, all gas, no brakes. God to your channel. Oh yeah. Oh, God love. Fucking love all gas, no breaks.

Yeah, I just, I showed you guys him, right? Yeah, he's like the modern day Kasim G. Oh yeah. So literally what I wrote down, I put Cassum G but more political. Like, because Cassum G was more like, let's just throw a topic out there. That's so funny, but like, also, Casim G actively made fun of them in a really good way.

Like, Cassim G's porn star videos, like some of the best content on YouTube. Actually, if anything, maybe Casam G might have inspired me at the time, like I really enjoyed his way of how he would insult them but not insult them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was great, but obviously he doesn't really do anything anymore. Yeah, and now he's just an extra in movies,

like the Transformer movie. Well, see, I don't even know that. Yeah, I don't know what he's up to now, but yeah, all gas, no breaks. What I love about him is that he doesn't even need to do much. He just lets the stupid people do the stupid thing. I think because he's willing to go there

and he's friendly with them, he gets them to talk to him in a way that's really hard to do, I think, and a lot of journalists just can't get the the clues that he gets. Like everyone knows he's just gonna be nice, like he's gonna show everything they say, so it's really nice.

Like some of my favorites were when he went to like the COVID party. Oh my God. Oh yeah. It was just the biggest cesspool I've ever seen. But how every single time he goes somewhere, somehow people bring up Jews. Like I don't know how he does,

like he'll go somewhere, Jews get brought up for being the problem. And it's like, what the first is like, Just leave it alone, man. Fucking hell. It's crazy. And I loved it on a podcast, where he mentioned, like,

he, the reason, like his influence was that like, yeah, I could go all these places all around the world, but the backyard in America is so crazy, why would you not wanna document it? Yeah, yeah, it's so true. I don't blame him, man. It's crazy. There's a guy called Honest Guide,

who does like videos about Prague. I've no interest in going to Prague. I've already been, but he's just so passionate about Prague. I just love it. Very nice. Talking about videos, watching videos that you have no interest in. I want to shout out Ristic Studies,

who makes essay about Magic the Gathering. I don't know a single thing about Magic the Gathering. I do not even know the fucking rules of magic. I've never played magic in my life. I've played Magic a little. But the way that he breaks down these concepts in magic are just so fucking interesting.

Like I think one of my favorite videos of his, is he goes through like the history of like the rarest card in magic, like how much it sold for anything for it? Black Lotus, yeah, the Black Lotus. He made a video on that and like how to like, like how people like actually verify, like that these cards are legit.

Oh, that sounds fucking cool. And then like, because he starts off talking about, not even talking about magic, he starts off this video talking about rare baseball cards and the history of like how these like, how these cards have sold for so much. And then he pivots that into magic. And it's fucking, fucking amazing.

Like he's a great cons and he's editing his God tier as well. Speaking of magic, but on the actual like regular magic, there's a channel I watch quite regularly called Chris Ramsey. I think, oh, is the guy who does the, he opens the puzzles? He does, yeah, he's like a professional magician, but he also has his own YouTube channel

where he, he got famous off of like, buying these like, super hard, like, 3D puzzles and like solving them in a video. But he also just does these, like videos where he, like, he basically like, he did the train before it was a train. He actually does like the professional magician reacts to, like, magic.

But like he actually has qualifications because he's actually a professional magician. And he like kind of like tries to, Like he obviously, you know, magician doesn't, you know, tell their secrets, right? But he like kind of reacts to it and says like, this is a good magic trick because of this. And like he kind of pinpointed in ways where it's like, you wouldn't really be able to see it unless you were in the same field. Yeah. And like he's fucking great. And I don't know what fucking camera he uses, but holy shit, his camera quality is like.

He's got that red camera. Dude, it's insane. Like, I want to know what camera he uses because it's the most insane quality camera that I've ever seen. There's also obviously love line is tech tips. Of course. Of course. See that video where he talked about possibly retiring, like broke me as well, you know.

Like, it's such a like, it was such an honest video and you just can't help but respect. Do you know, do you know what that felt like? It felt like that talk. Your dad's leaving you. Yeah, no, it felt like that talk where it was like your dad's just like, so me and your mom are gonna break up.

And, you know, it's, I know it's confusing times for you. That's exactly what it felt like, man. Like, honestly, like. It's not your fault. Yeah, yeah. Trust me, it's not your focus. We've just, we've tried everything, you know. If anyone deserves to retire, it's Linus.

Yeah, the man has been like a staple of YouTube and he's been on the grind, man, he's been on the grind. Like, and he's just like, you know, it's obvious that his, you know, the company's built up, everyone just fucking loves work. Yeah, it's just so great. It's just so, so great seeing people like who would just seem, who seem lovely.

He could be the biggest dictator at all, I don't know, but I'd be like, he just seems like such a genuine, nice guy. Yeah, yeah. Speaking of Linus, we gotta talk about his latest collaboration, too mad, the fucking crackhead of YouTube. Like, I fucking love too man. I love his content so much, but my God, I go out there with ADHD.

I watch one of his videos and I'm like, my attention span is fucking destroyed right now. He's that one friend who you have, who you just can't introduce to people. Like, you're like, you're so funny and I love you, but I can't take you to this. He's the one friend that you're proud to know that he's a friend of you, but you're also ashamed

to say that he's a friend of you. You know what I mean? too, man. It's a bunch of other channels, Value Select, who I've just shown you guys a million times. This guy does like skits, and he's probably the best skit channel on YouTube, does some really good fucking music,

like genuinely good music as well. Just so fucking funny. And he hasn't blown up yet. No, he hasn't blown up. And I've literally been touting this guy to everyone I know for like months. Like every time I go to someone's house, I'm like, give me the orcs cord.

Yeah, I'm put on the song. You better not play any shit. Yeah, speaking of other skit I want to shout out Britannick. This is like a channel that's been like around for fucking years, right? But he's also a skit channel, but he's one of those videos, he's one of those channels that uploads once every year. You know what I mean?

You get one video year and it's like a two minute skit, most of the time, two five minute skit. But his skits are so densely packed that it's on like another level of quality. Like every scene in this skits leads into the other scene perfectly. the writing is just like so top notch. You know, you know when you see like a scene in like a sitcom or something and you know it's gone through like 100 different rewrites.

That's kind of the quality I'm talking about. But because he, like he's been around for like nine years or something, but because he only uploads once every year, he just, he just doesn't like, that you can't do that on YouTube anymore. Right, right. I mean, I also watch Quackety, but Quackety's like that one friend who like,

is just a piece of shit, but then they're actually funny. You know that, you'll know that game, just complete cunt, but then he's just, he's just a complete cunt, But then he's actually funny. Yeah, yeah. Quackety just does Discord humor so fucking perfectly. Such a good Zuma.

Like he is Discord as a person, you know what I mean? Yeah, he's the human body member. Dis. Yeah. DiHu, when I used to do prank calls, he doesn't really get any views anymore. He's called Hoax Hotel and like he's so good at prank calling and he knows all the like scams inside out, really good videos. Were you influenced by him with your scam call?

Back in the day, yeah, I used to really like his videos and I thought I found it, like, how he dealt with it and he would keep them going. There's a few other channels as well. God, there's the guy, Kit Boger as well. He does pranks really good. And there's a guy who, God, I don't know his name,

but he hacked, it's like the Indian call center. That video was insane and that was really cool. Yeah, there's a lot of content creators that I don't know the channel name, but I can name their content. Yeah, yeah. Like if I say, hey, those two Indian guys that build stuff.

Yeah. Obviously, like critical, obviously we talked about, like, I feel like Pro CD and Critical the same thing, but like different content they're talking about. They do the same thing essentially. Right. But ProCD is like talking about food and anime and shit

and ProCDD is just meme. I don't know, sorry, and Critical is just dildos and- I feel like Critical could do a video about fucking any. He's like one of the few content creatures that can literally do a video about anything. He's had like the mainframe. Yeah, yeah. Like he can make like the fucking top 10 massacres of all time

and I'll be like, man, if the Holocaust ain't number one, I'm not to leave in this video, man. You know what I mean? It's so true. I definitely do my favorite video where I'm just like, this is a video that only critical can make, which was, well, also it was like, yeah, the flavored condoms tier list.

So it was so disgusting, but so good at the same time. Like, I hate you so much, but damn, this is good. Yeah. Another YouTuber I think we've all watched is the, you won't know his name, but Qami Japan is what he's called, but he's the dude who makes knives. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He just makes knives out of everything, right?

Nine fat of smoke, no fat of jello. I don't know why. The top comment on every one of his videos is I hate to be in a jail cell with him. True, true. This guy called Virtually Vane, he also did prank calls. He doesn't really upload much. He did one recently, but he was like the god of prank calls.

He did like a great African, like, he did like African dictator or something, Frank calls. It was so fucking good. Like this man is like the king of prank calls up. Do you guys know Sorrow TV? He doesn't upload often. That makes that, that sounds familiar.

He's the guy who does the, he's like the only channel I like that does like Reddit videos, like where he like reads a subreddit. Like all the other ones are shit. Right. All garbage. Are you talking about the fucking Ask Reddit videos where it's just like this computerized voice.

That's just like- fucking awful, I hate those. But in Sydney watches them all the time. Oh my God, this is like whenever whenever Sydney does any makeup or anything, I just hear, ask Reddit this time. Am I the asshole? I hate those videos, man.

But like Sauri TV is like actually like, you know where a video that shouldn't require talent actually brings a shit ton of talent to the TV? That's Saurot TV. He's so good at doing voices and like voicing the like Reddit thing. It's like, wow, everyone else is dog shit? Wait, wait, is it actually just the same

Ask Reddit threads, but like, it's like a professional voiceover. Yeah, essentially. It's like, it's like, man, they fucking leveled up their voice, man. They actually got a fucking voice actor to do it. It's like the ars slash nice guys, Reddit. Yeah, and it's actually like a guy who's amazing

is like doing voices, like he's so good at like, I'm a voice actor, but I can't do that many voices. It's like hearing fucking like Morgan Freeman or like narrate an Ask Reddit thread. You know what I mean? He'll swap up the voices really well. He's so good with comedic timing. And it's shame, he doesn't really upload anymore.

Black Griffin is like a guy that does that kind of stuff as well. Yeah, he's the guy who does like the one dude, 50 voices or whatever. He's like, right, right, right. Guy's fucking amazing voice impressionist, yeah. Nianas, shout out to Nianz, because Nannas has been around for like,

fuck knows how long. I remember Nianz back when she was, she was like the fucking daughter of 4chan. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. And just seeing her, like debut, like debut as a V-Tuber. Like it's, it was just like,

it was just like such an obvious choice. And you didn't think about it until it happened. Like, Nyhanis as a V-tube, I'm just like, that's the perfect marriage. Of course, she was a V-tuber before V-tubers existed. Yeah, let's be honest. I mean, I was Vox acting online since like 2013, 2014,

and she was still like the staple of high-pitched shit posting. Yeah, right? And that was back then. And it's crazy to see that she's like peaking now. Yeah. Yeah. It's really cool to see someone doing well

who's been around for so long. NerdCity, obviously. Caleb City as well. Caleb City as well. I like Circle Tunes HD as well. That guy just fucking moves to- I really like how he was basically, because he can animate, right?

He can animate. He doesn't need to animate and I feel like it's better because of that. You must see these videos. It's the guy who has like, he's basically like an animation YouTuber but instead of actually animating, he just like goes into Photoshop and just like wiggles like his models around. Oh yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

He's always on trending. Yeah, I've seen that, yeah. I like Jane Nicholson as well. Yeah, I like a, Up is Not Jump, as a gaming YouTuber who, like, he was the first person who actually did VR gaming videos, but just made it like, he, like I said, he has this perfect line of like comedic analysis

on literally just like VR games. Right, right. Because no, I've not seen any other content creator that focuses on VR games except for him. Yeah. And he definitely set the bar high. I forgot what the channel's called, but he's been in my recommended a bunch.

He like makes video games. And like he made like a manga's in 30D. And he like remade fall guys in like two weeks. It's insane. I don't know. Comments will let me know. That guy's channel was awesome as well. Is there anyone you think is like a Loki weeb?

What, I think a lot of people we say. I think a lot of them are webs. Yeah. It's like these last couple of years like people who we thought had no affiliation to anime. Or just like, yeah, I'm a weep. Needless to say, I think, we forgot fucking Carson,

call me Carson. Oh yeah. He's not a loki weep, he's a fucking weep. He's a full degenerate. Yeah. Come to Japan already, cast. Yeah. Come on. Yeah, come to, hang out with us. I didn't just say anyone we've spoke,

you know, good about on, or we like, probably can, you know, you're not gonna come on the podcast. Come to Japan. Yeah, come to Japan. Like, this, this is basically just been a video to be like, hey, these are all the people we watch. Everybody who we mentioned, come on Japan, man.

Come on a seat right here. Come on our podcast. This is our pitch to you. Not only do you get to come on the podcast. We'll take you around Japan. We'll have some good time. Yeah, it'll be good fun. We'll, we'll, it's good time.

We'll get drunk planning. Yeah, but I'm sure there's like, that's plenty more recommendations for you guys. I'm sure you guys watching probably have a lot of recommendations to go and watch tonight, boys. Yeah, exactly. This is probably like, this has been like such a dense episode of like recommendations.

People like right there down right way, please slow down, please. You're just rapid-firing recommendations to each other. Like, I feel like we did gloss over a lot of the obvious bigger content creators that we watch. I didn't name. many creators that I was already affiliated with. So like obviously Didas and Emily.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. Yeah, I don't need to mention that, you know, you should watch them. We didn't mention our friends because you guys should know by now. If I've talked to you in a DM, that probably, that probably means I already know you, you know what I mean? And yeah, I think that's probably a good place.

I'm just waiting for the comment being like, no, if only they did this with anime. Yeah, I mean, what anime channels do you guys actually watch then? Like, because I watched John, Super I patch. Yeah, of course. Super I watched Super I watch. I want to shout out Beyond Ghibli.

Beyond Ghibli does fucking amazing anime videos. And it's hard to describe like an anime YouTube channel, right? Because that's what I do. Right. Yeah. Like how do I describe this anime YouTube channel? Basically, he does amazing anime analytical content. Did a great one on Hentai recently.

Yeah, just check him out. Cartoon type is pretty good. I think they have a lot of misses, but when they hit, they hit good. I gotta give a shout out to my boy, Shabes. Like, not gonna lie. Like, not gonna lie, sometimes I'm just looking forward to being on his digest

in the good section. Okay, Annie Tube Digest, which is a series where Shabes, this, this Anituber, goes to basically like some of like, some of his favorite YouTube videos to do with like in the anime YouTube sphere. And some of his least favorite as well. And this is like the one series.

I pretty much think every anime YouTuber watches, even if they don't want to admit it. I told him, I'm like, everyone watches it. Because everyone doesn't want to admit it. Every attitude of a secretly wants to be on the good part. It's like, did I make it onto the good one this week? I hope so. Because the reason I like watching it

is because my taste in what makes a good YouTube or like what makes an interesting YouTube video is so fucking different to what his taste is. But that's what makes a good critic right. Well, you can just appreciate the cake that he's doing and don't give a fuck about if you disagree, which is more often not what I do. Don't worry, Shaves, I'll do more interview videos for you

so you can raise them good every time. I feel like the worst thing you can do as a critic is just flip-flop, right? If people know your personality and people know what you like, they don't give, it doesn't really matter if I disagree with your opinion. I'm still gonna watch anyway

because I know what you like and I take everything you say with a grain of soul. He's consistent. Yeah, that's what I respect about critics is that like they're not afraid of the backlash because at the end of the day, that is their opinion, right? And it's like, rather than flip-flopping

on your own words, again, you just gotta double down. You gotta double down. The double down on Europeans being like, I don't care if the majority think that this is a good video, I don't think it's a good video for these reasons, you know. I mean, I've already, I've already shouted out Scamboli reviews before.

Yeah. I like, he's called Chris and Pants. He talks a lot about LGTBC. Oh yeah. And he's like, he's just such a funny person. He is, he is. His editing is kind of bad, but like, man, is he funny. He's so funny.

Like, he's just great. He just brings such energy to shit that doesn't need energy. He's great, man. He's like the gay best friend. Everyone wishes they have. man. It is right? Like if I need a gossip session,

I would want to have a gossip session with Krispy Nats, man. Yeah. Crispy Nats, is that what he's called? I think it's Krispy Nats. I don't know, but when it comes from a recommended, I know that like the positivity is gonna be there. It's so funny, man, so good.

And that's really the only anime YouTube channels I watch, unfortunately. Yeah, I mean, you know, we basically just did a fucking two and a half hour long. Recommendation. Today and awesome. Basically. Just jump right into it.

Yeah, we jumped right into today in awesome. I mean, yeah, I think I've watched more anime YouTube channels, but I don't, okay, I don't subscribe to anyone, but if it appears in my feed, that's not, that normally means it's like a good video that's worth watching because, like, my, my subscription feed for anime YouTubers is just Twitter. Yeah, basically, basically.

I'll sometimes watch the best of the week that Shab recommends, and I'll be like, God, this is fucking awful. Like, like, because I'll take a limb on it, because I trust it, but yeah, I mean, I clearly have different tastes. Yeah, clearly. I respect this work, nonetheless. Yeah.

I mean, too far as Garan Lagan video and did watch the fucking two hour thing, it's fucking long, but it's good, I'll give him that. I respect the man, the man did good. The voice over was good. Exactly. But yeah, we should probably end this video.

We actually a fucking thing. A special thing. Today in poggers, like that's what we're gonna call it. Just say, just, just, today in poggers. We finally got our trash taste YouTube plaques. You should probably blur that out because there's an address.

Oh shit. I did not realize that there was a Here is that round dress. Do you get if I rip it? I'm gonna rip it. Yeah, just rip it. Don't worry, just rip it. Come on.

There you go. That's it. It's an early Christmas for us, boys. Susan said us a letter. What? She did it? Wait, there's a letter in this one. We got a letter.
