Yeah.
And we're actually.
Well, thank you for watching the unsubscribe podcast.
Thank you.
Bye.
It's racially ambiguous and baddie.
That guy's fucking ridiculous.
We don't know.
Best not to ask yourself why.
But my friend you've arrived
Welcome to Unsubscribe
Don't talk about his pearls like that.
Don't you dare.
They're pretty.
They're very pretty.
Where did you get those?
Tell me the story about your pearl necklace.
America loves pearl necklaces.
You see, that's the thing, right?
There's been so many people that have been saying to me,
Oh my God, I love your necklace.
And I'm like...
Do you know what a pearl necklace is?
Well, someone said it's about semen on the neck or something.
Is that what it is?
Yeah.
It's like you come, you blow.
Yeah.
And then you give her a pearl necklace.
That's why I was like, oh, he went for it.
I like this.
Maybe it's an Irish thing.
I don't know.
Well, you see... I don't know. What do you see?
I don't know what it is.
It's like, in Europe, everyone wears,
not everyone wears Spurs necklace.
But, like, I think it started with Harry Styles.
I think we all know that Harry Styles is a little bit flamboyant.
Which is totally fine.
100%? It's great.
It's Harry Styles.
You're covering your bases right out the gate.
I like how you...
I can't get canceled.
No.
No, bro.
I love it.
But my girlfriend was there saying to me,
she was like,
I think you look good in pearl necklace.
And then she got me a pearl necklace,
and I put it on,
and I was like...
I feel pretty.
I feel great.
Where's your girlfriend from?
Ireland as well.
Oh, okay.
Dang it.
I was hoping if she was American,
she was fucking with you.
No, no, no.
Babe, you'd look real good in a pearl necklace.
Just the guys love it in America.
You're like, how dope.
Well, it starts a conversation as well.
So it's like whenever some,
like I think I've been complimented
at least four times since we've been here.
Like we got in Sunday.
Today is Friday.
Sure.
So we got in last Sunday
and four times people have said,
I love your necklace. I'm like,
thank you so much. And that's it.
I like his necklace. I'm not going to lie. You know what I mean?
It's fine. And these are like, they're straight men.
So...
I like you.
Did you meet these guys before?
No, no, no. Just 100% sure
they're straight guys, though.
100% straight dudes. Never met them. Never talked no. Just 100% sure they're straight guys, though. I presume they said.
100% straight dudes.
Never met them, never talked to them.
100% complimented my necklace.
Straight dudes.
Maybe.
It was weird when he kissed you after, right?
Bro, sweet necklace.
Wait, you don't kiss?
You don't kiss in Florida? That's an American thing, right? That's, you don't kiss?
You don't kiss in Florida? That's an American thing, right?
That's a kissing thing, right?
It's big in Italy.
And I think it's too.
Welcome to the Uncensored Podcast.
As always, we have Eli,
double-deck myself,
Maddie's Dreams,
and our beautiful, powerful,
so sexy,
look at that,
Mr. Gibbons.
Welcome to the podcast, man.
Thank you for...
Welcome to America.
I know, yeah.
I loved you in Game of Thrones.
Jon Snow,
you did an amazing job
playing that character.
But I had to go
for every time.
We actually have
like a command
on my stream,
like X, M, H, Mark, Jon.
Because what I do
is I stream on TikTok
and I stream on Twitch
at the same time.
And the amount of people...
That's illegal.
No, it's not.
You can do that.
You can do that now.
That's totally fine, yeah.
So the amount of people that come in from TikTok No, it's not. You can do that. You can do that now. That's totally fine, yeah. So the amount of people that come in from TikTok
saying, oh my God, since when is Jon Snow on TikTok?
And then they come over to Twitch
and they just bombard me with comments.
And I'm just like, I'd take it in, you know?
If I get a sub out of it, I'm happy.
I mean, 250.
It's fine.
But I don't know where it came from.
Now, my hair was... You look like him, so... Yeah, weird. I don't know where it came from You look like him Yeah weird
You do
I don't think I do
I genuinely don't think I do
If you have a command in your chat
Well it was me that didn't do it
I didn't do that
And you're the one that doesn't see Jon Snow
I don't
I genuinely don't
Hey guys for the engagement In the comments below the one that doesn't see Jon Snow. I don't. I genuinely don't. And I'm a huge Game of Thrones fan.
Hey guys, for the engagement in the comments below,
does you look like Jon Snow?
Yes or no?
There you go.
I don't.
I don't want it.
I don't want it.
I don't want it.
I don't want it.
I don't want it.
Me queen.
You're my queen.
Me charms.
God damn. Why am I on here already? You're my queen. You're my queen. Give me charms. God, man. Here's our GCX event, we're hungover podcast.
Yes.
And by we, I mean I am.
I don't know if- This is my first time drinking.
Is it really?
Yeah.
Cheers, cheers, cheers, cheers.
So Gibbs, Gibbons, Gibbons, Gibbons, Gibbons.
But no one ever calls me Gibbo.
Really?
Yeah.
I love it.
This is our first time meeting.
They were like, he is an awesome Irish dude.
I was like, cool.
I got enough information.
What did you do?
That's all I need.
I'll leave the rest of this.
He's on TikTok?
What?
He's on Twitch?
Who's this dude?
Oh, he looks like Jon Snow.
Perfect.
We'll have him on.
And then your mind's getting blown by angry cops telling you stories.
And you're just like, what?
I don't think we can tell him the story before.
No, no.
Oh, no.
We'll get there.
We'll get there.
We'll have him on.
Yeah, that's always...
They're laughing over there.
Rich is always like...
That's what happens with him.
It's probably crazy when you're coming to America
and then you hear stories like that.
You're like, what the fuck?
Yeah, because there's none of that in Ireland.
I mean, the only thing that you'll be hearing about
is Susan from down the road stealing a loaf of bread.
And it's all over the town.
It's like, did you hear about Susan?
I know the dirty devil.
That's all it is.
And then you have an SVU unit over there
and you're just like, what the fuck?
He just casually takes out his badge.
I'm a detective.
I'm like...
I'm a detective.
That is as rich as it gets.
And just pulls it out mid-conversation.
I'm just...
I'm a dick.
But no, it's like...
We've been here for a couple of days
and just the stories and just everything we've been here for a couple of days and just
the stories
and just everything
we've seen
it's just
it's just wild
it's crazy
and I love it
but this isn't my first rodeo
in the states
it's my first time
in Florida
since I was four
your last time
in Florida too
I'm assuming
it is expensive
Florida man
I know
everyone talks about Florida man I haven't seen that yet have you seen Florida man since you were here yet It is expensive. Florida Man? I know.
Everyone talks about Florida Man.
I haven't seen that yet.
Have you seen Florida Man since you were here yet?
This trip, no.
But I've seen Florida Man many a time.
Yeah, it's going to pop up.
You'll find one.
Yeah.
Really?
It's not going to be good, but you'll find one.
But where?
Where would you find them?
In the convention.
Here downstairs.
In my room. 7-Eleven.
Any gas station on the street corner. That's crazy. downstairs. In my room. 7-Eleven. Any gas station.
Yeah.
On the street corner.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
It's America.
It's America.
That's what we do here.
Because no, in fairness now, like last year at TwitchCon San Diego, I saw quite a few
San Diego men.
There were.
And.
There were a few.
Yeah, there was a lot there.
And that was, It was weird.
And it smelled as well.
It's a very distinct hobo smell.
Yeah.
It's urine and depression.
Like wrapped in a ball that moves.
It's our next shirt.
It'll be urine and depression.
And I haven't experienced...
It's a cologne.
You're just like...
This is terrible.
I haven't experienced it yet here, which is good.
I mean, so far, our time here in Florida
has been absolutely amazing.
I mean, everyone is so nice.
The thing that I just need to get used to,
and I say it to everyone, is just the tipping culture.
Because in Ireland, we don't have it.
In Europe, we don't have it.
Which is fucking smart,
because we shouldn't be paying wages.
I know.
It's like, I've heard stories that, like,
your waiters and waitresses only get, like get paid $2 or $3 an hour.
Depending on the state, yeah.
Depending on the state, of course, yeah.
Half minimum wage.
Which is just unbelievable.
Whereas the minimum wage in Ireland, I think at the minute now, is €13.50.
And then there's the livable wage, which is €15.
But even at that, it's not enough.
What money problems.
That never happens anywhere.
Here, it's crazy when you see
how much you waste on tipping.
Yeah, it's sad.
I used to serve, so I tip good.
Unfortunately, it's that.
No, no, yeah, you have to.
You have to tip good.
And I feel terrible because
I don't know the correct amount to tip because I'm not acquainted.
You just round it up to the next dollar.
Yes.
20%.
20%?
I've heard people say they tip 40%.
Then fuck no.
And I'm just like, what?
Our bills are already like $100 to $200 every time we go out.
I'm like, nah, I'm not.
We should probably tip 40% because we're kind of assholes, though.
Usually the worse you are, you tip a little bit more.
We buy a bunch of drinks.
This does not take much effort to bring.
And so we'll order four meals.
It'll be like $40 of food and $300 of booze.
Okay.
We're good at 20%.
Jesus.
The server's not going to be like,
oh man,
there's like an hour table.
I only got $60 tip.
No one's going to bitch about that.
Yeah.
They're like,
dope.
Fuck yes.
And it is weird
because we're going into Japan.
I've said it before.
So awesome.
Yeah,
I've heard that you can tip there.
No,
it's rude.
It's really rude.
So going there,
I was like,
did you go there?
Yeah.
Oh man.
And it is,
it's cheap as shit.
That's what I think.
I've heard.
Like, our next trip is hoping to be Japan.
Really?
Like, we're dying to go there next year.
We're trying to plan a Japan trip.
You want to meet us there?
Yeah.
Bro.
Or take me with you?
It is...
I've heard it's amazing.
Like, we...
You're a fellow weeb, I think.
Love.
Absolutely. Like, Attack on Titan, Demon Slayer, Hell's Paradise. Hell's Paradise. it's amazing. You're a fellow weeb, I think. Love. Absolutely.
Like, Attack on Titan, Demon Slayer, Hell's Paradise.
Hell's Paradise.
It's amazing.
So good.
So good.
What's your favorite anime of all time?
Attack on Titan.
I love it.
Now, the latest season's a little...
You read the manga?
No, I haven't.
Oh, you don't know how it ends?
Oh, man.
What happens?
I just ruin it right now.
Everyone just gets up and leaves.
I just throw you over this balcony, I swear to God.
The thing is, I've had so many people in my chat say,
wait, you haven't read the manga?
Or, dude, you'd be so surprised if this happens.
I'm like, shut up!
And then ban.
I've banned like three or four people from my chat
because they're actually going to say it.
Oh, yeah.
It's like Game of Thrones all over again
because I didn't watch Game of Thrones' last episode
until like a couple of days later and I got spoiled.
So we do GOT, you do GO't watch Game of Thrones last episode until like a couple of days later and I got spoiled so so we do GOT you do GOC Game of Thrones is it CHO
he's like well I don't get you fucking asshole no we had um three
so I'm not gonna say. I'm not going to say three.
I'm not going to say...
It's so difficult for an Irish person, especially because I'm from the south west of Ireland.
It's so hard for us to pronounce our THs.
I don't know what it is.
And our R's as well.
It sounds like we're a pirate.
You're my favorite pirate. It's like R.
You're my favorite pirate. Are you ready?
And the way that you...
Okay, the funny thing about the Americans,
how we say Ireland.
Ireland?
Ireland?
It's R.
Ireland.
Ireland.
Ireland.
Ireland.
See, it's not spelled like that, though.
But I-R-E, L-A-N-D.
Yeah, no, I mean, it's like...
I.
Don't you argue with me.
So where are you from?
Wicklow.
Yeah, but is that like north or south?
Wicklow.
Is that south?
Do you both speak the same dialect?
No.
Oh, God, no.
No.
Like, my side is very thick, kind of...
It depends on who you're talking to.
Like, if I'm talking to an american who really cannot
understand my accent i have to put more emphasis in all my words like there was times like we we
went into an uber and the first thing i said is how are we and he was like how are we we
and you ain't peeing in here, sir I was so confused
And it was just an awkward silence between the two of us
I was like, oh, I'm sorry, how are you?
And he was like, I'm good
It's like the different southern dialect
You get those Tennessee drawls
You get into that
The hard ones where you're like, what the fuck?
I don't even know how to

I'm a sniper.
I don't remember.
Is it Batty or Kyle?

I'm an ex-army sniper.
I think that was the first thing you said to me when i mentioned san diego you're right i mean i was like drunk yo you were all right okay i was hoping it was sober
batty just being like i'm a sniper this is what i never deployed it's like oh he's an asshole
oh it was great though that's like i don't remember meeting you in San Diego, I'm not going to lie.
No, was it blank?
Was it, were you with Pep?
Was it Pep?
It was in that arcade bar.
See, I don't remember meeting you there.
I remember doing a bunch of shots with a bunch of motherfuckers.
I was drunk most of the TwitchCon.
No, you were.
Yeah.
You were goosed.
You were goosed.
Goosed?
Yeah, sorry, drunk. Goosed. Drunk, sorry. Stop apologizing. I might have. Yeah. You were goosed. You were goosed. Goosed? Yeah, sorry, drunk.
Goosed.
Drunk, sorry.
Stop apologizing.
You're okay.
The further down this goes,
the harder that you're
going to understand
the word I'm going to say.
I love it,
and that's all we care for.
There's most certainly
going to be, like,
green subtitles.
G-Ben, just subtitle.
Yeah, subtitle.
We're good.
Just, like, question marks.
Maybe, like, have, like,
a shamrock either side
of the subtitles.
It just keeps filling up.
It just says pot of gold over and over.
I'm in a rainbow.
Yeah.
I'm like, just once a pot of gold.
That's all it's saying over and over.
This text does not line up.
Could you imagine if this was sponsored by Lucky Charms?
Oh my God.
Eli.
What's up, General Mills?
It's your boy.
It's your boys.
Unsubscribe.
Unsub.
Hey.
God. We got Lucky Charms himself
here. Gibbs.
He knows where
they're magically delicious.
That was the worst
sales pitch you've ever made. No, it's fine.
Show, stop looking at me.
I've seen you peeking over here.
Drink your drink.
It's green.
She's having a good time.
Yeah, what are the odds that it's green?
You're Dr. Nijersman.
I know what I was doing.
My opportunity is the finest.
This is it.
So you started streaming when?
What year?
I have the zero.
TikTok.
TikTok and then streaming.
I'll give you my history.
Here we go.
Okay, so I started three years ago. I went straight into it. It and then streaming. I'll give you my history. Let's go. Okay, so I started three years ago.
I went straight into it.
It was during lockdown.
Three.
Three.
So I started then.
Three years ago.
Three years ago.
A tree pops up.
I'm telling you, bro.
If you just want to throw your drink in his face, it's okay.
It wouldn't be the first person.
It's usually me.
Really?
Go on.
So I was a student for seven years, and then I got a part-time.
Were you a fucking doctor?
No, I did two degrees.
Why?
Some people enjoy school, Eli.
Did you?
He's a dropout.
I barely graduated.
Your education system here is so messed up at how much it is.
And trust me, that's why I dropped out of high school.
It's crazy.
I figured that out at a young age.
Walk that and you're an idiot.
Whereas in Ireland, it's like, in Ireland you can get grants.
I was very, very lucky enough that I was able to get a grant for my second degree.
What are your grants for there?
To pay for college.
I know that, but like, what did they give you the grant for?
Like, hey, social academics, being Irish.
Being Irish.
It depends.
There's a few when it comes to like, if you're good at sports.
There's a few where it's like, you can't afford education.
Being poor.
Poor families.
Yeah, poor families.
Mexicans is what we know.
Okay.
To my people.
There's a few.
There's a few of them there that I'm not too sure what all of them were.
I can't remember what grant I fell under, but everyone can apply for it.
And you just have to fill out everything, like your date of birth, what you do, blah, blah, blah, your family's wages, and this, that, and the other.
Everything.
So they have every bit of information about the student. And I just got a post or a mail in the post
and it says, yeah, you've been accepted
to have a full four-year paid tuition.
So yeah, I was very, very lucky.
So for the first...
How much is college per semester there?
It depends on what...
Your degree is, I'm assuming. It depends on what your degree is.
Not necessarily the degree, but the campus that you go to or the university or whatnot.
So the most expensive university would be Trinity, which is in the capital, which is Dublin.
Now, I don't know how much exactly what that is, but there's like, oh, I I'm from Trinity, or I go to college in Trinity.
It's like Harvard.
The very same as that.
It's like, if you go to,
I don't know, for example, like
Kentucky University, the reason why I say that is because I
lived in Kentucky, but
if you went to university in Kentucky...
Kentucky, Ireland? No, no, actually...
Okay, I was just making sure.
I didn't know.
I was confused.
American education.
Jesus Christ.
Maybe.
I heard you say that, and I watched the gears in his head start fucking turning.
I was like, wait, you have Kentucky in Ireland?
What are you?
Huh?
Is this real?
I'm going to believe it.
What?
Do they race horses there also?
I don't know this shit.
I have zero knowledge on Ireland.
No, no.
There's Blarney Stones and leprechauns.
I'm super Irish.
I've lived in Kentucky,
and I'm just using the University of Kentucky as a reference
because that's like the only university that I know in America.
So like, for instance,
I don't know how much it is in the University of Kentucky,
but I presume that the Harvard one would be a lot more expensive.
Harvard, you're looking at probably... Per year probably $200,000 to $400,000
for a four-year degree, I'd say.
What?
Probably a little.
We're just going to do this.
Probably a little higher, to be totally honest.
Harvard yearly tuition.
Actually, what do you do that?
I'm going to look up Trinity.
I'm sorry.
Harvard, $60,000 a year.
That's it?
That's it? $60,000 a year? Most colleges, that grand a year. That's it? That's it?
60 grand a year?
Most colleges, that's a four-year degree.
I know.
To be honest, I thought it would be more.
I really did.
That's true.
But if you're going to be a doctor or a lawyer,
you're seven years in Harvard.
That's a couple of times.
Poor dropouts.
No, we got the GI Bill. Okay, so... GI Bill would cover, I'm sure of times. Poor dropouts. Now we got the GI Bill.
GI Bill would cover it, I'm sure
of it. Between
everything
for four years,
you're looking at about $50,000.
See? For all four years.
For all four years. As in your accommodation?
Oh, this is tuition.
That's not housing or anything.
No, no, no.
This is what it's saying tuition. That's not housing or anything. Yeah, no, no, no. This is, yeah. What's just to exist.
This is what it's saying here.
It's about 50,000.
That's insanity.
It's crazy, yeah.
And it's one of the best colleges, universities in Europe, if not the world.
It's extremely big.
That's how it's 60 grand for four years, and that's the best.
That's, yeah.
And then depending on what degree you go for.
I mean, look, the books would be more expensive depending on the degree.
Yeah, but it's always raining and dark.
It's sad.
It's depressing.
It's very depressing.
I love the country to bits because it is a beautiful country, but when it's depressing, it's depressing.
You just want to leave.
I don't want to leave.
Say, what were we talking about?
About me?
Oh, college.
You're telling us your life story.
And then we just venture talk.
See, this is the tangent podcast. Yeah, the tangent. That You're telling us your life story. And then we just ventured off. This is the tangent podcast.
Yeah, the tangent.
The waffle, which is waffle.
So I did three and a half years
in software development
with game design, because I've always been
interested in designing games or being
a part of gaming.
Fucking nerd, absolutely.
Yeah, 100%.
Among friends.
But it was
really, really heavily
in maths.
And I have like
terrible dyslexia
when it comes to maths.
I just,
numbers are just all
jumbly for me.
Maths?
Yeah, maths.
I could never
like calculate.
Maths, maths.
Holy shit.
Yeah, I just
count up.
That was the first word
I was like,
I do not know.
You're talking about maths.
I was so good. Mathematics know. You're talking about maths.
Mathematics.
Yeah, mathematics.
I look at Batty and Batty's like, math.
I know what you're saying.
I understand you.
And I'm watching Eli just, cogs in your head.
He's looking at you like, dude, what is he saying?
Hey, Eli, how'd you sleep last night after drinking all that?
So good, you know why?
Why?
Ghostbed.
Every mattress has a 20-year warranty, sometimes 25.
And you can try it out for 101 nights.
If you don't like it, you can send it back.
No hard feelings.
After a long day of podcasting,
one of my favorite things about Ghostbed pillows and mattresses is the cooling technology built into them to keep us nice and cool after a long day here in the Texas heat.
Ghost bed pillows and mattresses are as cool as the linoleum on the bathroom floor.
Way more comfortable though.
Technology so cold it's like soft.
These are so freaking comfortable.
Also offers bundles so you can get everything you need.
You don't even think about it.
Just pick from one of their four mattresses and then pick your bundle.
So whether you just need a mattress and frame or you want everything like their cooling pillows and sheets,
you can get the best bang for your buck.

Not necessarily all in California,
but LA. Was like each state,
was it like different?
Absolutely on the rules
and regulations.
So when he moved here,
I remember him going to HEB
and that was Spring Branch.
HEB's a big grocery store.
Yeah, gotcha.
Like Walmart.
But like a fancy Target.
Okay, okay, okay.
So we were out at Spring Branch
at that time,
which is a country area.
He came in
and I remember his text. He's like, so everyone still goes to grocery stores and everything? I was like, okay, okay. So we were on a spring branch at that time, which is a country area. He came in, and I remember his text.
He's like, so everyone still goes to grocery stores and everything?
I was like, yeah, 100%.
Some don't wear masks right now?
I was like, yeah, that's fucking literal, just whatever you want to do right now still.
His mind was blown on how ease of access things.
You know what?
I need to show you a video.
I think I still have those um this is so
when they were kind of like hensing that ireland was going into lockdown there was riots oh i'm
sure there was riots in every grocery store and there was a grocery store up the road tesco is
what it's called yep yep heard of that everyone of that. Everyone was there trying to get toilet paper.
Oh, it was sold out.
Baby wipes, that, water, everything.
It became such a meme in Ireland that it was bread, toilet paper, hand sanitizer, and baby wipes and everything.
Oh, man.
But there was literal people like, they were fighting.
It was crazy because...
Have you watched America Black Fridays?
Oh, I have, yeah.
Josh, it was like that.
But we never, ever experienced this ever.
Because Ireland is such a small kind of like...
Yeah, never.
Nothing happened in the 90s.
We won't go down that road.
That's for another day. The more you know. happened in the 90s? Maybe we won't go down that road.
That's for another day.
The more you know.
Rainbow,
Flash, Star.
Never had any troubles or anything.
No, it was crazy.
And then we have Black Friday's yearly holiday for us, and we beat the shit out of each other.
It's like a day off where we just fight.
I've seen the videos for Black friday and i just i feel
like they're all fake because like oh my man so i've i've literally seen it firsthand it's
like i remember oh god this was it's what's the movie baddie where you're allowed to kill
everyone for a day the purge it's the purge black friday is like
dude everyone's like 2016 i just got like my real big boy brr. It was like 2016. I had just gotten my real big boy
computer.
Oh my god.
Internet.
I can't think of a fucking word.
I was editing websites on the internet and shit.
And I was like, yeah, I'm going to go
get my first big TV. I'm doing good.
And I remember going, I'm going to go on Black Friday.
I'll get a great deal.
And I showed up late to Black Friday.
And it was a Walmart. I'm going to go on Black Friday. I'll get a great deal. And I showed up late to Black Friday. Oh, yeah.
And it was, like, it was a Walmart.
Annihilated, bro.
Broken doors.
What?
I was like, this is Vermont.
Like, we don't have that.
This doesn't happen here.
It is fucking chaos. But, like, is it, like, are they really, really good deals?
Oh, you get real good deals in person.
Like, that's where I got. They're limited real good deals. Like, it's real good deals in person. That's where I got.
They're limited real good deals.
It's like the first three people to get this TV, it'll be $100 instead of $700.
Like crazy shit.
We got a three.
Me and Dennis.
Dennis, we drove.
Dennis.
We drove there at like 7, 8 a.m. to get this TV.
We didn't know there was this opposite line.
So we walk in and we just grab the TV and bring it up front.
No one stops us.
Right.
And it was a $3,000 TV for $400.
Like dope.
Man, that's weird.
Of course you're going to kill some people for that TV.
Yeah.
We're like weird.
This was still in.
And then we look and they check us out.
They do everything.
And then we see where we should have lined up to get in.
I was like, oh, we're the assholes.
Receipt, thank you.
And we're just leaving.
We need to go now.
I was like, these people are going to fucking kill us for this TV.
That's insane.
Dude, the deals are insane on Black Friday.
You will have like a PlayStation, $4.
And it's just to watch people kill each other.
It's literally just to watch people murder each other. Black Friday has changed now. It's now by my mind. Okay, it starts
Thursday Thanksgiving Day at like
5 p.m. You can start lying dude. It's crazy what they've done
These stores are trying to maximize getting people, you know, getting eyes instead of a full day now, right you have like three days
It's like half of Thanksgiving, and then into Saturday.
Cyber Monday.
And they started making it.
There's a new holiday, Cyber Monday.
It's the Monday after.
But, see, we're doing the same now because, like, whatever you do, we're copying,
but our deals aren't as great as yours.
Like, it'll be.
It's just the name.
Yeah.
It's just we just throw the name on it, and then it's just making the consumer think,
oh, I'll get a big deal.
Because I've worked in retail for seven years.
I've been through Black Friday, but it's nothing.
Flashing prices.
It goes from $5,000 to $499.
Like $4,999, you're like, we're saving a dollar.
But in America, it's like, deal so good, you'll kill for it.
And then people are doing gladiator battles for a microwave.
They're literally sharpening their axes before they get there.
It's crazy. I have the
video here. I'm just trying to see if it loads up
so I can show you. But
hopefully now it does.
Come on.
I want to see it.
Now, nothing crazy happens in this,
but it's just people queuing up
for...
Oh, yeah. That's it there.
So I'll send this on to you so you can like show oh yeah okay so
what we have here like it's a it's a line it goes all the way back and that was just for toilet
paper and hand sanitizer and everything dude this is just doing fucking the vid yeah i like all the
expensive cars are leaving yeah they're like they already paid like they're at the front they're
like that's it there susan let's go oh my god yeah it went it was like a couple of miles long queue for toilet
paper and everything else because people were we were sold out here depending holy shit so since i
lived out in the country spring branch our hb didn't get touched much so we were like we had

Texas. Yeah, once you pass the test, you buy a America, they actually give you one. Yeah, it's part of the... For free? Well, Texas.
Yeah, once you pass the test, you buy a car, you get a gun.
That was a real thing for a while.
There was a car dealership in Texas, right?
Yeah.
That gave you a shotgun with every garbage.
That's not a joke.
That was a real thing.
This was like, what, two years ago?
So gay.
Buy one AR, get another one free.
That's probably a deal.
That's probably been a thing.
Have you seen the...
Have you turned on the TV here and seen the ads?
No, I haven't.
Oh, my God.
And that came up of rent a tank for a day.
Oh, that's very good.
We have a place right near us in Texas.
Yeah.
You can rent a tank for a day?
What's it called?
It's our buddies.
I'm going to go for...
Drive tanks.
Drive tanks.
There it is.
It's our buddies.
No, no, but you literally rent it for the day and you can go around and do whatever you want.
Drive tanks. Drive tanks. That's insane. Welcome to America. It's called America, bro. No, no, but like you literally like rented for the day and you go around do whatever you want drive tank
Well in America called America
Why do you think we have an eagle as our goddamn?
representative
And then it drives in a monster truck jump us over the
Jumps the tank and then there's a machine gun going off in the background.
Oh, my Lord.
I don't have food.
A leprechaun eats cereal.
Okay.
Okay, I love Lucky Charms.
Yeah.
This is a great drink.
The more you drink it, the less you care.
Yeah.
And you're sipping on it.
I got to be careful because...
Why?
Just in case.
I don't want to be making a show of myself like I already am.
That's what we want.
Well, that's why we have editors.
Okay.
Okay, thank God.
It's not like this isn't...
We obviously cut out all the best stuff.
It's like, okay, this is new.
We'll blur that out.
We'll keep going, though.
Suddenly his pants are off.
So, huge anime fan
what
you
Attack on Titan
I wouldn't be huge
I only
I'm not huge
take the fucking shirt off
god damn
I love
I love it
but
I absolutely hated it
like two years ago
because I thought it was all about
like
oh
sucky sucky
and all that stuff
that's the best stuff
what do you mean
I I I thought it was
cringe
I just thought
it was cringe
and I was like
there's not a hope
that I'm going to
go near that
and then
this man walks in
with a fucking
attack on time shirt
I get it
I'm wearing an
arto shirt
the first anime
I ever watched
was Yu-Gi-Oh
when I was a
yes
absolutely dude
I love the dual
disc yep the whole like i i always say i'm saying to yourself or you're on we in ireland we never
ever played it but we traded the cards so it was just like oh i got blue eyes i'll trade you that
for my dark magician but it was never like we played it because i don't know it was strange
like we were always like five to ten years behind
america yeah when it comes to all this stuff i think like we're like more like three to four
years now we're catching up um but it was like that with anime because anime in ireland isn't
a huge thing and if you really really do love anime you stick out like a sore thumb. And in Ireland,
if you don't play GAA, which is
like hurling or football, it's essentially
hockey
with rugby
involved.
I put a stick right along the tongue.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So if you don't play GAA in Ireland,
you're a nobody.

So if you kind of dressed up like,
oh, this guy watches anime.
They'd be like, oh, he's a weirdo.
That was like the first thing that would be coming up.
That was my childhood.
I was the weirdo.
You were the weirdo.
I wasn't. I hid my childhood. I was the weirdo. You were the weirdo. I wasn't.
I hid my anime for a long time.
I was like
a closeted gamer,
as you could say. I didn't want to show off
that I gamed, because
you were a nerd, and you wouldn't fit in.
It wasn't cool then. I understand it.
It really wasn't. There was a huge stigma on that,
even in the US.
If there was a huge stigma of it in the US, in Ireland, it was so bad.
You had to play sports.
If you didn't play sports, you couldn't talk to the girls.
If you didn't talk to the girls, you're a loser.
If you're a loser, you had no friends, and that was it.
So you had to forcefully...
I just picture you going home, your friends are gone.
You're putting your cartoons, your video games in the closet.
And you're like, oh, I literally did.
I literally did.
I had it in the closet.
I had it in the way.
Anytime I had someone come over to the house,
I would put it in my closet.
Really?
Yeah, I had to.
I mean, I guess I should.
I get it.
Yeah, no, it was just the way it was.
But now I'm just like, I gave anime a go.
I watched Attack on Titan during lockdown.
I watched like a couple of seasons. I watched like all the seasons. I caught up with all the seasons in the space of a go. I watched Attack on Titan during lockdown. I watched like a couple of seasons.
I watched like all the seasons.
I caught up with all the seasons
in the space of a week.
And I just,
I fucking loved it.
The storytelling,
the art,
the action.
The darkness.
Everything, the twists.
I was just like,
I fucking love this.
Yeah.
So I got into it then
and then I went from there
to like Demon Slayer and Hell's Paradise and Jujutsu Kaisen.
Hell's Paradise is one of the first times in a long time that it feels like, if you haven't watched Berserk, it is the eclipse from Berserk.
Okay.
When they get to the island and all those monsters, and they're like, Attack on Titan meets Berserk, because they're like, what the fuck?
It's going on.
And it's a true nightmare.
And everyone's just dropping like flies.
It's like you get attached to a character and they're gone.
Suddenly they show up and they're dead immediately.
It's like Game of Thrones meets anime.
That's like the first thing, and I love Game of Thrones.
Me and Eli talked about that.
Literally, Hell's Paradise, just nothing's safe.
No.
That's why I love Berserk, Attack on
Titan. Those ones that have that dark
twist to it, because
they're different levels.
I will say Hell's Paradise is dark,
so is Attack
on Titan. You're watching that,
and the first six episodes, you're like, oh my god, the main
character, and he's Aiden.
Yeah, and he's gone.
When does the last episode of Berserk
drop?
The last second
half of...
Either at the end
of this year or
the beginning of
next.
It's still a bit
out still.
I must get into
watching that because
I haven't heard too
much about Berserk
until...
Oh, Berserk?
Bro.
Eli's got an entire
Berserk sleeve.
Oh, is that his?
Yeah.
That's cool.
I am a huge...
Berserk is dark,
dark.
Yeah.
It makes... It's not happy. dark dark like yeah it makes it's not happy
no
no it makes like
Attack on Titan
look like PG-13
yeah it really does
oh it goes dark dark
so I take it
it's your favorite anime
yeah
how many seasons are there
so
surprisingly you have
the three movies
or you can go watch
the 90s
um
it's an older one too
it's an older
it's been going since the 80s.
Holy shit.
Number one manga and rated manga and everything now of all time is past Naruto, One Piece.
It's just really bad hentai.
That's all I call it.
It's dark.
There's a lot of...
Oh, a lot of acid hits and all that?
Yeah.
Like, lots of graping.
Oh, shit.
What?
That's the main character.
Like, out the gate, that's what happens to him as a child.
Oh, wow.
It has very, very dark tones for the whole series.
But it's developing that character so you understand why he is.
And they do that the entire series.
And it's been going since the 80s.
I've been reading since the fucking 90s.
And then the author died two years ago,
which sucked dick
because we've been waiting for it to finish.
He's been on a boat for nine years or whatever,
10 years, 20 years.
He would take three-year gaps.
To put out a single, like, panel.
Channel.
Yeah, a chapter.
A chapter, yeah.
What?
And there's a lot of books.
So he was like George R.R. Martin kind of style.
Worse.
Worse?
Worse.
Oh, my God.
Arguably much worse. We're still waiting for The Winds of Winter? Yeah. That's never, it's? Worse. Worse? Worse. Oh, my God. Arguably much worse.
We're still waiting for The Winds of Winter?
Yeah.
It's never coming out.
No, it won't.
It's like that.
It's like Name of the Wind.
Yeah, oh.
Name of the Wind, phenomenal book series if you haven't watched it.
There's only two.
George R. R. Martin praised this guy.
Patrick Rothfuss.
Patrick Rothfuss is one of the greatest authors that have
ever presented.
He did two books
and they did so
fucking good.
George R.R. Martin
complimented book one
saying like one of the
best authors ever.
He has rewritten
the next book so many
times at this point.
He's afraid to release
it because it's not
going to live up to the hype.
11 years right now
on book three.
11 years.
He's still,
he restarted,
he was 90% complete. Actually, that's never going to come out of it. He's are you? 11 years. He's still, he restarted, he was 90% complete.
That's never going to come out of it.
He's never going to finish it.
When he wants,
because he made
fucking loads of money.
They're like,
ah, you're good, bro.
How old is he?
He's our age, I think.
No, Patrick Rogers
is older than us.
45?
No, like,
45.
Yeah, I'd say about 45.
Sorry.
Dude, if you've never,
Oh, he's going to make
some bank soul. But I will swear to God. Dude, if you've never... Oh, he's going to make some banked soul.
But I will swear to God on this,
if you're big into reading,
Name of the Wind is one of the best...
I'm a big book nerd.
It is so good.
Jesus. Okay.
I'm going to go kick them down the escalator.
Murka!
Murka!
Yeah, I'll scream that like a bald eagle sound.
I hope he falls. I hope he falls and I hope we watch him. I win at life
this is why we drink
but no if you've never read it
it is one of the best book series
ever
it is so good on how well they did
I'd say they're finished with the convention underneath us.
Jesus.
That could be it.
Is there like a Destiny convention going on as well?
So, GCX has a big connection with Destiny.
Because it originally was called Guardian Con.
It started as a Destiny convention.
Oh.
And then there was some fallout between Bungie and Destiny and the community,
so they renamed it GCX Gaming Community Expo.
Okay.
This is GuardianCon.
Watch Berserk.
No, I wouldn't.
I mean, how many seasons again?
You were going to watch it.
I'd watch the next one.
It's weird.
It's a weird one because it's so old.
It's not quite seasons.
Okay, okay.
There's three Netflix movies.
Watch those and then stop.
There's a few that I've been told because I have my chat. It's like, oh, Gib, you need to watch this. You's three Netflix movies. Watch those and then stop. There's a few that I've been told,
because I have my chat, it's like,
oh, Gib, you need to watch this, you need to watch that.
And there's so much to catch up on,
I genuinely just do not have time to stream.
Yeah, One Piece.
How the fuck are you supposed to...
Berserk, Hunter x Hunter.
It's mad.
Demon Slayer.
I fucking love...
I haven't even watched the latest season of Demon Slayer.
Oh, dude, it's so much better. It's finally getting into the real Demon Slayer. And it's about to go dark. I haven't even watched the latest season of Demon Slayer. Oh, dude. It's so much better.
It's finally getting into, like, the real Demon Slayer.
I went and bought it.
And it's about to go dark.
I don't read manga.
I don't like reading anime.
I don't like reading.
So, I literally, it got, I finished this season, and I went and bought the entire collection
just so I could read it.
It's that good.
Wow.
And is it finished?
Is the manga finished?
Yeah, the manga's finished.
Yeah, the manga's been finished for a couple years.
It's been finished.
Rich is jerking off over there.
He's like,
He's like, he's talking to the anime.
What was that?
No, when you watch,
so Demon Slayer's about to go,
It's getting dark.
It goes to,
The happiness is being shit.
It moves to Demon Slayer.
Everyone becomes where it's like,
oh, we don't know who lives anymore.
Oh, no.
It goes real hard.
Don't spoil it now, you're free.
Yeah.
No, because, like, what was that?
Have fun.
The American District?
Is that the...
Yeah, the red light district.
I fucking loved that scene.
Oh, that?
The fucking animation during that scene?
Oh, my God.
It was incredible.
Dude, it's like fucking spinning it.
It's just... Yeah. That final fight final fight With like the explosion while they're running
You just don't know who's going to die
You think that someone's dead and they're like oh no they're not
They're still alive
So how that happens is everyone
I was just like
Yeah no it was good
And I said I'd wait until
The third season Is finished Now it has been, and it's been finished for a while.
Yeah.
But I just, like, as a streamer, full-time streamer, content creator, I genuinely do not have the time.
Hey, Batty! Do you know what time it is?
I think four o'clock.
That's right. It's Hot Boy Sum boy summertime, and you know what that means.
Eli, is this an ad read?

Oh, that's a wonderful transition. So you're streaming you started streaming you've missed. Oh, yeah
What games do you straight
It was a closer fuck at the start though, it really was because I didn't know how to stream I
Really did not know it stream. I was watching
Like I think the first stream that I watched was back in 2012?
It won't take long to tell you Neutral's ingredients.
Vodka, soda, natural flavors.
So, what should we talk about?
No sugar added?
Neutral. Refreshingly simple.
2013, it was the likes of, like, I think Tim the Tapman I was watching a bit of when he was playing CS. Yep, probably. Refreshingly simple. wanted to stream was was that time i was like this is so cool these guys are playing and they're
chatting with an audience and they have like they're getting donations like lift right and
center there was there wasn't subs then yeah it was just donations and it was so cool to be like
oh my god this guy is getting like two dollars every feckin five minutes this is so cool and
they were like really really entertaining and they were making everyone laugh and i was like
they're making me laugh i'd love and I remember I laughed so much
because around that time
my parents were splitting up
around that time
and I was just
depressed off my fucking head
so I would be
Ireland
I'd be
especially with Ireland
I'd be in bed
with the covers over
and I'd be like
watching Twitch
and I would be
pissing myself laughing
watching Summit 1G
or Doctor Disrespect or whoever and I was like I would be pissing myself laughing watching Summit 1G or Dr. Disrespect or whoever.
And I was like, I would love to be able to do this, make someone laugh when I'm old enough.
I think at the time I was 17, 18, and I was like, oh, I'd love to do this in a couple of years' time
where I make someone laugh, like the same experience as I'm doing.
And 10 years later, I'm doing it now, which is mad.
But when I first started streaming, I didn't know how to stream
I thought like oh
I'll start now I'll have
Twitch recommend me on
whatever suddenly you're blowing
up and you're getting all those subs and
downloads yeah this is going to be great
hundreds of viewers I streamed
to zero viewers I shit you not
like it was between zero and five for two
weeks straight isn't that fun
when you're like, hey, what's up, Chads? Good to see
you out there. Me? Looking at the
comment section, it's empty. It's just empty.
And I'll never...
My parents are splitting. No one wants to talk
to me.
Someone talk to me!
But I'll never
forget the time I had someone
come in, first time chatter,
and they said, why are you talking to yourself?
And that fucking shattered me.
I was like, maybe what I'm doing right now is...
Is not right.
Is not right.
Yeah.
And then TikTok blew up with Bella Porsche and...
Yep.
And fucking all of them with their crazy TikTok dances.
So I started doing like really like cringy...
TikTok dances? Not dances. Are those still on your
TikTok? If I go back far enough. No, they actually are.
They are. Wait, do you play
Daisy? Yeah, I
play Tarkov, Daisy,
and I've dabbled into
Grand Theft Auto RP. But no,
I still have... My name's Gibbs.
Come follow me on Twitch.
Actually, there is... He just walks by.
There's one TikTok I have
and it was one of my first viral TikToks
of me reacting to Attack on Titan.
And it got millions of views.
It was...
What was her name? It was the female
Titan. Oh, Annie.
Yeah.
So,
my first time seeing her come up on the screen, I was like, damn.
Them some big ass tight titties.
They're huge.
Yeah, them tight titties.
Death by Snooze Doom, I'm ready.
Hit me.
I did a reaction of me reacting to seeing her
for the first time with some sort of trending music.
And it blew up.
I had really long hair down to here.
Because none of the barbers were open.
And that's when the whole
Jon Snow, oh my god,
you look like Jon Snow started.
And I was like, holy shit.
So I used that TikTok
as in I
made a whole of that. I would purposely
make myself look like Jon Snow
and every TikTok that I put up
just went... Motherfucker, we started this podcast.
I don't know why I know it.
I don't know why anybody says it.
I don't see it.
He capitalized on that, though.
That's all he did.
I don't see it now because my hair is short.
But then I did because it was literally down to here.
It was long.
And there was another TikTok I did of me reenacting a Jon Snow one.
And it did fairly well.
And it just went from there.
So I was uploading these like cringy TikToks,
which was actually like getting me onto TikTok.
No, so that's what I was doing.
So my first TikToks,
and I still have them up there
because I want people to like see
I started like as being a really cringe tiktoker yeah and i converted
that into clips from twitch and i would kind of like mimic the same kind of cringiness that i had
from the the irl tiktoks that i put up but from like stream clips and i put in like really really
funny edits and stuff did you do your own editing I did yeah I've been doing
you are a fucking
phenomenal editor
when it comes to
short form content
because that's how
I first saw your stuff
I have been doing
my own edits
up until March
this year
really
yeah so I had to
hire an editor
because it was
like as you know
it was too
yeah too much
way too much
like you'd be streaming
like six seven eight hours
and then you'd be
editing for three
and then it's just no thank you no it's like it's it's it's bad so i was like no i need to i need to
get someone but like what i do is i have a fairly good connection with my editor where i'm like
just copy exactly what i did for the three years just do it just just exactly here's my vision
here's the beats a minute. Man, I saw your shit
for it must have been
a solid year.
Yeah.
Like just the way
you cut things down
to tell that story
in a comedic manner
is absolutely phenomenal.
It's the retention rate
with TikTok you see
because the younger
population,
the retention rate
You have like half a second
to fucking grab attention.
Yeah.
It's three seconds with TikTok.
If you don't have the retention
within the first three seconds,
you're fucked.
You're nuked.
You scream,
slap the camera with titties.
Boom.
Say the story.
da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
But with the way TikTok
has gotten now,
it's so fucking odd.
You really need to be careful
what you do and say.
So,
a perfect example is
one of my
viral TikTokoks was me
meeting a guy from florida in tarkov and he sounded so baked and i was like man on a scale
of one to ten how baked you right now he's like i'm like a solid like eight dude and i'm like
man there was some rocky numbers you need to bump those numbers up to a 10. And he was like, yeah, just let me get my bong, bro.
And you could hear him, like, walking off into the distance.
You hear, like, glass fucking breaking or, like, rattling or something.
And then bubbling.
And then, no, no, I'm just like, this fucking bastard's actually getting it.
So he gets it.
He puts it up to his microphone.
And he's just, like, going.
I'm like, holy shit. And he, he like inhales it i'm laughing and then he bursts out crying laughing as well and he just can't stop he can't like stop coughing laughing i was like holy shit your
fuck was like yeah that was great and that just blew up it got to like four or five million views.
And it was like gradually going up and up and up and up and up and up and up.
And then a year later, TikTok muted it.
I got a warning for promoting drugs.
And they, what's that word again?
It's like a shadow ban.
They shadow banned me for three weeks.
When you get shadow banned on platforms.
And a lot of people are like, that doesn't exist.
It does. Obviously, Instagram came out and said they're people are like, that doesn't exist. It does.
Instagram came out
and said they're doing it.
Yeah, no, no.
It does happen.
For whatever reason,
whatever bots that they have.
We just,
today's episode that went up.
Oh, yeah.
We literally built it today.
Yeah, Freddo's,
the episode's cruising,
which usually when you get flagged on,
you get demonetized on YouTube,
it halts all.
They don't push your videos. There's no reach.
There's no engagement. It's just a
pile of shit. That's so...
But it's been green for a week because we
finally got super ahead. So we've had
the episode done. We had thumbnail. We titled
it and it went live today. Green.
I mean, five minutes after it went live, they
demonetized it again.
It's still number two on our
YouTube. They're pushing the fuck out of it. And still number two on our YouTube, they're pushing the
fuck out of it and it's a really good episode.
It's just they waited
a week to demonetize
it until we went live with it.
Normally if we get one demonetized early before
it's live, we'll request a review,
we'll upload a new version of it that's hopefully
going to not get, you know, we cut
one fuck out of it or something like that.
And do you have to be careful of what you do, say, and all that because like i know a few youtubers now we need cuss we
can say so there's certain words hey g van these words you're going to bleep out you can't say that
nope talking about bleep i cannot bleep that out do not bleep is on the same scale as the n word
now yes 100 cannot cannot be in a video but then then you have our buddy, like Leon Lush,
he can't say a single cuss word in 10, 20 minute video
because they will flag him instantly.
It's weird how different it is for different creators
at this point, yeah.
Because we've had some hard episodes
and they're like, Green, you guys, family friendly.
Like, dope.
What?
And random ones that are like, no no i wonder if that's like per
country or if it's um if it's like uh like maybe because in ireland you say bleep a lot it's a guy
bleep yeah but i wonder if it'll be like demonetized in ireland as well because we say
it so much if i if i were to YouTube now, if I said it.
It'd be weird because a lot of the words,
I mean, we, I remember when we were finding out.
Ryan Reynolds.
Was a thing, bleep that out, G-Band.
It was, that was like, what?
And then I went through and I looked back at our,
what was flagged and what wasn't.
And it was only the times we talked about that. And then I was like, watch when we don't talk about it, and then we were green from then on out
What the fuck is going on? It's weird finding those little
Loopholes or whatever to stay green to stay mana. Is there a meeting behind Ryan Reynolds? Oh
Well in the movie. Yeah, cuz's who's going to die first. Oh.
Really? So that's why, yeah,
the movie,
so that's why it's on the board.
Like, hey, who's going to die first?
Oh, you're...
And then he takes that name
because he was the one
that technically died first.
Oh.
So Wade Wilson became Ryan Reynolds.
I'm learning so much now.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
Like, okay,
we're not using that word from here on out. We'll just talk about the normal stuff.
Calm and everything else. It's so sad that YouTube don't tell you what you can and can't use.
We just have to learn from experience and you don't learn until like a month or so later.
Dude, during last year, at the end of last year when it was the firearm stuff people the gun community had no
idea because it was inserting a mag started getting yeah reloading is bad bad isn't just
yeah it was like you can't even screw on a suppressor then they got it was the the the
gun tubers like fought for it because you couldn't even insert a mag that was 30 rounds they were
like if you put 29 bullets it's fine but 30 round mags so
then people become like there's a lot of arbitrary bullshit it was crazy that's why it was a back and
forth and and then finally it got fixed after months but all those guys it was all demonetized
just yeah just destroyed their their growth yeah oh you screw on suppressor demonetized so you have
like demo matt and all these big guys that like they were having videos his on suppressor? Demonetized. So you have like Demo Matt and all these big guys that like, they were having videos.
His huge suppressor video had 6 million views in a couple days and then they demonetized it.
Yeah.
That was great.
So what?
Would he get paid for the first 6 million?
Yeah.
So you'll get paid for that.
But then afterwards, it's like, geez Louise.
And that's what sucks.
And then usually what happens is the second
you get demonetized it restricts your growth instantly you're like oh yeah it's the right
you see you see the growth on a video it's like gone and then your views are everything no it's
very very similar to tiktok yeah um so like what i've noticed with tiktok is because i've i've
applied to be verified so many times because there's there's one account that i know that is verified and it's a
copy of mine so it's called like mr gibbon fan page or mr gibbon page or something like that
i love they verified that that's verified spring is here and you can now get almost anything you
need delivered with uber eats what do we mean by almost you can't get a well-groomed lawn delivered
but you can get chicken parmesan delivered sunshine no some wine yes get almost almost anything delivered with uber eats order now alcohol in select markets see app for details
what i'm not it's so messed up and they have me blocked so what they do is it's messed up now what
i could do is i could like make my videos like not be savable but i don't want to be a prick
you know if you want to save my videos you can if you want
but i've applied to be verified like three times every time i apply to be verified my views plummet
so there was a time now where i was getting like back-to-back millions like just one million five
hundred thousand two hundred two hundred million five thousand if you don't know what i'm asking
what is like your follower count around on tick to TikTok at this point oh we just hit a million so
we just hit a million
on TikTok
and we're coming up to
100,000
on Twitch
and
we have 100,000
on Instagram
and then
Twitter
which is
ugh
I wish I had more
but no it's X
yeah
X
like it was
it was grand
in Ireland
it was Twitter but as soon as I
landed in Florida
I was like motherfucker
I looked for the app
for a couple minutes not gonna lie
I was like where did I put that
where was it
I was like
did I delete that shit
have you noticed as well though
whenever you're getting a notification on your phone
because TikTok is black, X is black there's a few other apps that are black
so when I get the notification I'm just like which fucking app am I getting a notification
on now? I keep confusing that one for TikTok now and it drives me fucking nuts. Oh it's
so annoying because like Twitter was a nice kind of a sky blue, which was so unique out of everything. And a fucking bird.
And it was a bird,
where now it's a fucking X.
Oh, I don't know.
It's like, well, I don't care.
I'm just going to...
But, Sherlock, Elon Musk,
do whatever he wants.
There'll be a new app
in a couple of years
or a couple of months' time.
Twitter's paying now, though.
Oh, no, they are.
That's a good thing.
And so, like, the thing is with tiktok too um when we when as soon as i landed i went on the tiktok and
i applied for the creator fund because in ireland we don't have it so and that's what the minute
a minute one and over right yeah yes because we were talking sat my girl friend she has she's at
1.4 million.
Okay.
She didn't do the creator fund because she didn't know about it.
And then last night we were talking to an individual and he was like, yeah, this is how much you can make.
It was Ash.
Ash, Ash, yeah.
Yeah, Ash was, and then she was like.
The money to be made up.
That man, he knows how to do it, man.
He knows how to cook.
Ash, shout out to you, brother.
Yeah, no, he's great.
I love Ash to bits.
Like, myself and him, when we're playing DayZ,
I'm, like, praying that I bump into him.
Because we just, we bounce off each other perfectly good.
When I stream in the morning, and when I finish, he streams.
So it's like a perfect hop.
It's amazing.
But he was, like, telling me about the creator funds.
He said, man, you need to apply for it,
because this is how much I made this month.
I was like, you made that much in one month? Are you mad? No way. So I need to apply for because this is how much i made this month i was like you made that much in one month are you mad no way so i tried to apply for it but in ireland
we're so what's the words like concealed with outside marketing because we're such a small
country and we're not going to be given the tools needed because yeah there's no priority like why
would they do that to you?
Because streaming in Ireland...
There's no audience.
There's no advertisers.
I think now there's only...
I'd say there's only literally a handful of Irish streamers
living in Ireland that do it full-time.
So they're not going to acquaint us
because the market isn't there.
There's no point.
No.
Literally, yeah.
It's so backwards.
And as soon as it landed here, I opened up Twitter and I could apply for it.
And I have it.
So now I have it.
If I go back to Ireland, I will still have it because I'm signed up.
So it doesn't change.
Really?
Yeah.
Fuck yeah, dude.
This trip was a huge investment.
It was a massive investment.
I made it. What's up yeah yeah i made it what's up
your boy made it yeah no we're fine that was fine but it was it was getting to a point as
well where i was just like i really like want to make bank off a tiktok when i just fly out to to
new york for a day i was i was really considering doing that it was a 300 euro flight return so
literally landed the airport waited a couple of hours
to come back
and just sign up
turn it on
just hop into their
flight home
just go home
it's crazy
but look
it's the thing with Ireland
with streaming and
content creation
it isn't a known thing
so
we were showing
short form
like a lot of our
friends were talking
about this before
because we have
friends that only do
short form for YouTube
YouTube doesn't pay shit for short form sure short form yeah terrible it is absolute garbage and they're
bringing you up there in the long form like so if you're short formed as well it'll boost you up in
the long form 100 but then it's trying to cater towards long form and it does not transition
so you have short short form content creators being like, hey, I did 200 million views in a single month.
They made $3,000.
What?
YouTube just fucking hates it.
And this is a lot of the, like, huge on TikTok, huge on IG, huge on YouTube because of the short-form.
And they build these massive audience spaces really quickly.
But then when they try to go over to long form,
their audience doesn't convert
because it's like, oh, I don't give a shit about that.
I want to see your 10-second segment.
Let me see your YouTube short.
And then it is, okay, dope.
And then they see their paychecks,
and it's literally 2,000.
Frankie did a story about it.
Frankie, he's, what's frankie's last name
he wears he wears a fake butt it's a real butt with a mustache yeah yeah he's a real but that's
a real yeah it's all real but frankie did 280 280 million views on a single video and he showed the payout for it. It was $2,000. Oh my God.
Can you imagine that on TikTok?
If you did $280 million
on YouTube long form,
that's like,
oh yeah,
that'd be huge.
You'd be taxed.
That's Mr. Beast.
That's insane.
But I love the way,
like,
Mr. Beast,
he literally said that,
oh,
if you hire me for a day,
I'll tell you exactly
how you make a million in a month.
No, yeah.
I want to know what the secret is.
Well, his is big.
If you watch his breakdowns and you get to see him, Mark Roper, when he goes on a podcast and they break it down, even Mr. B's friend, they were like, hey, before we even film a video, we know the thumbnail, we know the title.
Okay.
We don't give a fuck about the video.
The video will be good, but before we film this,
we know the thumbnail and we know the title for this segment.
Then we build up everything afterwards.
So if you focus on your thumbnail and you focus on your title,
you will see a big success.
And now you have AI that will help you generate titles
because the algorithm's always changing.
Yeah.
And the YouTube algorithm, if you have, um, which one do we use?
VidIQ.
VidIQ.
VidIQ.
You are like, Hey, here's the title.
Then if you're paying for VidIQ pro generate AI based ones, it will give you five more.
And then you can keep generating new ones until you're like, Hey, that's clickable.
And it also rate the titles on like a percentage scale for you as well.
Yep. And then you can use
an AI to develop your thumbnail.
And that's what a lot of the guys
do. That's why you have that rasterized
over contrast
beautiful face on thumbnails
when you see the big ones. It's because it works.
Wow. So then they push the shit
out of that. I'm learning so much now. This is great.
Dude, I dig. This is my
like, mytism. I'm like, this is so much fun. This is great. Dude, I dig. This is my, like, mytism.
I'm like,
this is so much fun.
Wow.
I'll definitely have to be
bringing you then
about my content
because I want to, like,
push long-form YouTubes,
but as a streamer
and, like,
focusing on gaming,
I'm not a YouTuber.
Yeah.
It's so different.
So it's like
you're taking footage
from a good part of the stream and bring it over to YouTube, whereas it's so different. So it's like you're taking footage from a good part of the stream
and bring it over to YouTube,
whereas it's not going to do as well as you'd want it
because you're not creating a YouTube.
No, you have to be specific.
And that's why it's like working with Sav or even with Logan Chitwood,
he had stuff he does because Logan's blown the fuck up.
And he was like, Yojiro is his main character he'll play
so we were like
we did a film
in an hour
and then it took
four hours to edit
five hours to edit it
because it was like
visual effects
and I had to cut dude
I was like eh
but
when it was handed off
I'm like that's a viral video
there you go
it did four million views
okay
and then he's like
dope got four million views
off a video
fucking but hand it off it's just knowing the formula and then following it yeah it's the same
with tiktok is like if one tiktok does well if you copy the same formula it'll do well for us
that's why absolutely there's so many tiktokers that um literally heard the fucking same like
back to back back to back back, back to back.
And people in the comment section were like,
oh my God, do something different.
This is so boring.
But even if they're commenting on it,
it's boosting it up.
It's crazy.
Dude, that's what Sam had the,
we did a fart video.
She showed me a fart video
and she was like, how do we do this?
Like, uh, uh, uh.
And we just reshot it and did the ending different it was like 35 million views
later oh my god he's like done okay hey we won high five that's crazy people don't want to see
unique content anymore they want to see their creators yeah doing the same do the thing yeah
i was saying it's color in the lines is what TikTok
and it was like, hey, anyone can be creative.
You just have to color in the lines, but how do
I make this more original?
How do you draw the picture first?
You want to be the guy to draw the picture for other people
to color in the lines. What was that trend that was going? The grimace?
The grimace shake? Oh my god.
Jesus. That was just
back to back all over my TikTok
and they were getting progressively better
until someone made a fucking show of themselves
and it just, it killed it.
And that was when he knew that, okay,
the Grimmshake is gone.
But it was the same with like...
That's why I love Meat Canyon.
Meat Canyon?
Meat Canyon finds those
and then he ruins them for people.
It's like the AI.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
That is so wild stuff.
But then you see
how much they're making.
But the funny thing is
I did that.
I did.
I did the whole AI thing.
To see how much you can make?
No, no, no.
Not even that.
Yeah, so I was
so I stream on TikTok
and Twitch at the same time.
And I said,
right, I have 500 viewers
on TikTok right now. Let's see if I can get to 1, time. And I said, right, I have 500 viewers on TikTok right now.
Let's see if I can get to 1,000.
So I was like, Twitch, I'm going to do the AI thing
for the next 10, 15 minutes just to see.
I did it for 15, 20 minutes.
I got up past 1,000 viewers.
And I was getting, I was getting banked.
I made like 100 euro.
And the space is like 10 minutes.
I was like, this is fucking bizarre.
All right, let me tell you the secret to making a bunch of money on Twitch or TikTok.
We call them mananites.
Have you heard of a mananite?
You're going to black out.
It's going to be dope.
You can't get paid to drink on stream.
That's not allowed on Twitch.
Now, if you were to say you're
powering up your wizard level and drinking a
mana potion, you can.
And we have done this for years now.
We've recently stopped because
it's starting to hurt our livers.
But you'd be like, okay, for $69
I will
drink a mana potion. And that mana potion
may or may not look just like a white claw can
or a shot or a do
you have to cover it though no no we just get right because the dude we started we'd make
what you ever you ever drink a lot and you make a wizard staff you tape the cans together never yeah
i was like that's not i've never done in ireland have you ever done this just get wrecked and build
wizard staffs i can definitely imagine you doing doing it. Saving all the cats together.
That's what we would do. That's how it started.
Literally, we'd take the kids and we'd pound up our wizard level.
My God. Next thing you know,
you're 30 shots deep
or 30 donos for drinks
deep. In an hour.
Bro. I'd be terrified.
All you gotta do is
find the off switch.
Dude, Blackout Eli Eli super good at this cuz
Many times I'm like this why am I here?
What happened as a wizard you time travel occasionally
And then I watch the stream and it's's drunk me, like, stumbling.
And I sit down.
I'm like.
I just hold the.
I don't say bye.
I just hold my power button, and I walk away.
Oh, God.
So the stream just ends.
You did an Irish goodbye.
Yeah.
Every time when I blacked out.
He slept on.
He passed out.
Okay, that wasn't a man of night.
That was.
You were tired.
Post-divorce.
Post-divorce night.
That was a divorce. I drank an
entire bottle of Jameson. A whole bottle
of Jameson. Less than three hours.
I had a mug that was
this big. And your stomach as well, I bet.
You were just like, fuck it, I'm just gone.
Dude, I was just having a good time.
Was that the time where you passed out outside?
Yeah, on my porch.
You told me that.
Occasionally we do man night. Is that the time where you passed out outside? Yeah, on my porch. Yeah. You told me that. Yeah. Fuck.
But now we just,
occasionally we do man o' nights.
We're like, let's just see how much. The thing is, with TikTok now,
if you drink on TikTok,
someone can report you,
and you can get banned.
See, that's why,
you can get banned on TikTok Live.
I've heard nothing,
but you don't do TikTok Lives
because you get banned so quick.
Yeah, you do.
You do.
So you need to be careful but the thing is a lot of my twitch streams rely on tiktok lives i'm
sure yeah it does because look at the end of the day i don't like saying that my main platform is
tiktok because i don't get paid on tiktok um i get but your growth is from tiktok yes 100 so
you're not gonna go on twitch you won't at all
so what i did was i just transferred all my tiktok viewers over but there's so many tiktok viewers
that don't know that i stream and it's the same way like everyone else it's the same way like tim
the tatman a lot of people in tim the tatman's's comment section comment, does this guy stream?
Where does he stream?
And it's like, how the fuck don't you know Tim the Tantman?
Hey, everybody on YouTube right now,
I don't even know this.
Mr. Gibbons on Twitch.
Yep.
Batty on Twitch when he's done.
Eli Doubletap on Twitch.
We all stream.
Eli, you've been streaming a lot more lately.
Like, this is what we do.
Like, YouTube, it's so funny.
I get in Twitch constantly. lot more lately uh like this is what we do like youtube it's so it's so funny the amount of people
i get in my god constantly oh i didn't realize you streamed yeah they don't know it's crazy to
see and then like people are always me and eli occasionally on uh once a month now we'll do a
patreon live stream okay and we'll stream to patreon like oh we love these things it's like
do you guys not realize five days a week,
six days a week, sometimes four
days a week, three days a week for Eli? On a good
day, yeah. He'll get four days
from me. Five to six days a week?
Yeah, five, six days a week.
That's at least six hours for me.
I'm the worst streamer.
It's never been your main thing.
That's fine as well. At the end of the
day, you are a content creator. You just want to focus on that. That's fine as well. I mean, like, at the end of the day, you are a content creator.
You just want to focus on that.
That's fine.
I'd like to, like, brand myself as
a Twitch streamer.
Agreed.
That creates content.
Do you know?
Like, wherever you get your bang for your buck
or wherever you enjoy the most.
I enjoy the most with, like, Twitch streaming.
Yeah.
Because you're reacting with chat.
Whereas I do, like, it is a dopamine hit
when you get millions of views on a video.
It really is.
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
And then when they
convert over,
I'll never forget the time
where I did one
with,
with,
Pool Shark,
with Eric.
Yep.
And that was kind of like
the one that
got me in the whole
Tarkov
directory.
Yeah,
more or less.
Like,
before that,
I was getting
a couple of million views but this
one got i think it was like a hundred million views or something it was wild and it was just
my interaction with pool shark you know and there was a time where my views went from like 75 to 100
and i shot up to like 500 which is massive for on twitch have over a hundred viewers honestly it's huge it's and then
you have like you live in that there's that hundred to five hundred space and then there's
that 500 to a thousand then you have your multiple thousand those are like the categories like it's
extremely difficult to get there now because there's so many of us i mean covid hit yeah
everybody went online yeah i mean i love my like 100 to 500. It's a great spot. I stay there. That's amazing.
That's my six hours a week I invest in this.
Yeah, fucking great.
Variety for me, usually three to 500.
Tarkov Prime, I'm over 500.
Yeah.
That's always the case.
Like whatever your main game is.
Yeah.
But I was very surprised because like my main was Tarkov.
And I fucking hated it.
Well, we all do.
We all do.
We all do.
There was a time back in February, like, I haven't played Tarkov since February,
but I was getting back-to-back cheats, desync, five raids in a row.
Yeah, the typical awful things.
It was ridiculous.
So I uninstalled it live in stream, and I said, guys, I am fucking done.
And I was like,
look,
I'm going to try DayZ.
Went over to DayZ.
I tripled
my viewer rate.
My view,
my average just went up.
I was shocked.
Yeah.
And I feel like
the reason why that happened
was because
I was the only Irish person
playing DayZ
and I feel like DayZ,
yeah,
it was.
I just picture you like,
what did I do this years ago?
Yeah.
Fuck, I fucking hate Tark ago fuck I fucking hate Tarkov
I fucking hate Tarkov
I was like
you have a really good accent
I fucking hate Tarkov
but
with Daisy
it's like
it's a really
kind of a story
driven stream
so when you're like
doing your character
you do RP
yeah I do
I dabble into it
like I'm not a heavy RPer
what voice do you do oh no I don't he Yeah, I dabble into it. I'm not a heavy RPer.
What voice do you do?
Oh, no, I don't. He's Irish.
I hope.
I'm fucking American.
I still do Asian a majority of my life.
I don't.
You don't need to.
I don't do an accent.
I'm myself.
I don't role play.
Why do you think people in America use accents?
Because it's different.
There's so many of you.
Most of this audience is American.
Yeah, exactly.
You get the fuck out of my house.
Okay, you know.
Okay, zombies outside.
I need you to stay away from me, okay?
Okay, what gear you got?
Oh, that's nice, nice.
See, if I do that, I get canceled.
Yeah, because you're not Asian.
I'm Asian.
But Eli's Asian, so he's white.
Yeah, okay.
I'm white, so I can...
You talk, I was like, oh, okay, okay.
Hello, hello.
Do you know...
I'm a potato priest.
Potato priest.
My favorite is South Park with City Walk.
Oh, goddamn She-Walk.
Welcome to She-Walk.
I'm going, he's coming to my She-Walk.
And then Harker, dude, when he's doing both voices,
it's... Oh, let's put it on
kit, okay, here we go.
That video of, oh,
you got this smart penis?
Did you know a Japanese
and a China are different countries?
Dude, I love it so much.
So, I,
what happened recently?
I said, yeah, I was doing GTA RP, and I didn't say dollar.
I said Dara, right?
So I was like, oh, how much is this?
It's 15 Dara.
I was just my character.
So I just kept saying Dara.
Dude, Chad just stopped moving.
He was like, uh-oh.
I had so many people in the chat saying, this is my character so i just kept saying dude chad just stopped moving you're like uh-oh no i
had so many people in the chat saying edge you're going to get cancelled if you keep saying dora
i was like why i was like it's asian you're not asian i'm like is it fuck is it asian and then i
just got flashbacks of city walk i was like oh fuck it is japanese which is crazy because we
talked about that on previous ones i was like like, oh, it's Japanese that have trouble pronouncing the R to L.
So it's, I take a one dollar piece.
And they're like, people.
It's so weird watching.
People.
The people of Africa do the Japanese accent wrong.
But like, I'm just not white.
So everyone just gives me a pass.
Yeah, you got the pass.
You were doing it in Irish,
and they're like, bro.
Yeah, no, you can't do this.
You fucking disappoint me.
Yeah, but you see,
we don't mean anything biased.
We don't even fucking know.
Comedy is nothing.
You know what I mean?
Like, if...
You see, there's, like,
so many things now
that I grew up saying
that we can say now,
which like in Ireland,
it's strange.
I won't say the words,
but they're nothing like serious.
Like they're nothing crazy,
but nowadays you can say it because like,
the thing is,
because I come from an Irish,
you know,
I'm from Ireland.
What we say could mean so much different in America
whereas my audience is primarily American
I can't say it but that's like one of the
most terrifying things about being a streamer
I mean smoking cigarettes
we all know
I want to say it but we can't
because
that's what we call it back home
dude even with
the TV show
on History Channel,
I don't know
if I talked about this.
I got in trouble.
So Eli had a TV show
on the History Channel.
Okay.
So we were...
I freaking loved
the History Channel.
It was awesome.
Like American Pickers
used to be my favorite one.
So we were doing a...
We did our show.
I would do
all my accents,
everything.
History Channel,
100% okay.
I did a story one time on my Instagram.
One time.
I acted flamboyant.
I was like, Matt, you dressed me.
And he's like, girl, you look amazing.
I was like, fabulous.
And I walked.
That was it.
That was my story.
I got a fucking, I got text from the top reps and the owners of A&E on History Channel.
Like, take that story down right now.
You know what you just did.
I had to take that story down, and I had a phone call.
We need a phone call with you.
That's false.
So I called them, and they were like, you know what?
That voice, you thought that was okay?
I was like, hold up.
Hold the fuck up.
I was like, so, what was wrong with it?
You, that was, that was misrepresenting gay people.
I was like, no, I was doing flamboyant.
When the fuck did I say I'm like doing anything?
I'm not saying I'm sucking dick or anything.
I was like, and even then, what the fuck's wrong with that?
And they're like, well, no, that's not the problem.
I was like, okay, so during the show,
when I'm doing a Mexican accent or an Asian accent,
you're okay with it?
Like, well, yeah.
I was like, go fuck yourself. I was like, go fuck yourself.
I was like, wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Dude, and I'm like, they had a reality check.
They're like, oh, homeboy doesn't give a fuck.
Nope.
That's why.
If I can do one accent, I'm going to do every accent I want.
Of course.
And you can't just pigeonhole me because I'm like, hey.
I was like, bros, I wear a fucking dress on IG.
A lot of times I'm like, I don't give like, bros, I wear a fucking dress on IG. A lot of times.
I'm like, I don't give a fuck.
This is Eli.
But it's the same as if yourselves now were to mimic an Irish accent.
I wouldn't take any offense to it.
I wouldn't.
No.
It's because it's like, do you.
As long as you're right.
We would not be friends if I did my accent and you were like, you piece of shit.
You just.
How dare you.
I'm like, man.
What is wrong with you? It's crazy, yeah.
It's crazy how time has gone, but sure.
So on that, it's one of those things
where all of the stuff we grew up with,
we had all this time with
because things move so fast now.
The culture changes so fast now.
Everybody has a voice.
Everybody has a voice.
Everybody has a platform.
And unfortunately, with some of that, everybody can be hurt.
Everybody can be mocked or take offense.
And now because of that, we've taken that to an extreme.
Sure, some of it goes too far.
Some of it is hateful.
Some of it can be used to attack people.
Other parts of it is hateful. Some of it can be used to attack people. Other parts of it
are comedy. And that line between what is funny, what is comedy, and what is now derogatory
or hateful has been blurred so fast because of how fast our culture changes due to the
internet and instant everything. Instant gratification. Go, go, go, go, go.
Autism.
What do you do?
I will make autism jokes now and we realize
autistic his son is autistic myself that's not a joke yeah it is that's real but like riding we
always do charities but even with tism touch thank you all for that fucking amazing thing and we
take that money we put it towards uh autism research right right in the name and unsubs
and right is fucking my autistic super genius also
terrible eye contact never winning a staring contest like his things he hates loud noises
so do i but it's weird watching people that i've told it probably this happened uh in packs they
were like freak out they'd be like yeah, you have opposites right now.
So you have one where people get offended and they're like, how dare you make that fucking joke?
And they're like, what happens if one of your family members was autistic?
I'm like, let me tell you a story.
Meet my son.
And they're like, I'm sorry, I didn't realize you.
I was like, yeah, shut the fuck up.
I was like, I don't need anyone to correct me.
And then the other side of the spectrum where everyone's like, oh, yeah, I'm just autistic.
No, because they think it's quirky.
They don't have, people see a trend.
They see a thing where it's like, oh, I must have ADHD.
Oh, I must have autism.
Oh, I must.
I'm dyslexic.
Do I have autism?
Bro, it is crazy to watch.
And they're like, oh, my God, I'm so autistic.
I do that all the time.
I'm like, you should see my son.
If you want to see what autism looks like.
I can show you the vast difference between you and I.
They can say it's okay.
Like, oh, that drives me fucking up a wall to be like, oh, it's just my autism.
It's like, is it?
Is it?
Because you're maintaining eye contact.
And I can assure you, if you have that, you don't do that.
No, no.
My son's like this.
I'm like, son, how far is this flight?
He's like, four hours and three minutes.
Like, he'll know exactly.
That's crazy.
It will be like, how tall is the Burj Khalifa?
Genius.
Oh, it's unbelievable.
Like, how long is the flight from Florida to California?
He knows it. That's mad. It's so crazy. Ask him how his day's going. How long is a flight from Florida to California? He knows it.
That's mad.
It's so crazy.
Ask him how his day's going.
He's like, I don't know.
It's this weird, like, you get those things where he's like, okay, he understands it.
Does not give a fuck about that.
So he just doesn't care.
He loves filming.
So it's his passion.
So he makes videos and we're getting him into it.
But Homeboy has 3,000 videos saved on his passion. So he makes videos and we're getting into it. But homeboy has 3000 videos saved on his phone.
Like he is.
But it's super cool because I can be like, hey, show me that video you filmed on a train once.
And he'll be like, oh, yeah.
Bam.
And he'll stop.
No, he stops it.
Like it will go on the exact.
Yeah.
It will just be like.
And he'll be like, boop.
And stop it.
The way his brain works is so wild.
I'd say like they're more're way more intelligent than us.
It's just an awful lot for them to comprehend.
It's hyper-focused, hyper-fixation on what their passion is.
They don't give a fuck about anything else.
That's where I'm like, I'm probably, because I don't give a fuck.
My wheelhouse is specific, but I'm like, no, I'm still not going to be like, wheelhouse is specific but i'm like no i'm still
not gonna be like i'm autistic i'm just like i'm weird yeah but i'm weird like if i don't give a
fuck about it i'm not gonna fake it anymore and how is it now in the states when it comes to like
because i'll give you an example when i was growing up in ireland my teeth like i've like
really bad dyslexia and i was was bullied fairly hard in school for it
because I couldn't read, I couldn't write.
I was 13 when I could spell my name.
And I was...
Everything's backwards to you.
Everything is backwards.
I love reading a good book,
but reading...
It takes a little bit longer.
It takes so long.
And then your attention rate just goes off and stuff.
Like with anime, I would love to watch it in sub.
I can't.
The right way.
Oh, shut up.
I can't.
It's the right way.
At least I didn't mind attacking Titan in dub.
It's totally fine.
But I can't.
I can't watch the...
You can't read fast enough.
I can't read fast enough, and I can't fluctuate between the two,
so I just have to watch it up.
But with the teachers, I remember my teacher pulls me out of the classroom
and was like, you need to cop the fuck on,
because you are not dyslexic.
Stop making this shit up.
And that's when my parents were like, we need to get you tested.
And I got tested, and they said, you have severe dyslexia.
And I went in with a note, and they're like, yeah, dyslexia is bullshit.
It's just for you to get out of class.
And you have to have a different form of teaching for dyslexia.
It is completely different because that is one thing.
Learning that and then watching that struggle when you're teaching a kiddo with it? The thing is, well, we had a... In Ireland, we have junior, senior infants,
which is like kindergarten and so on.
And then we have primary school,
which is from the ages of like five up to...
They're called senior infants?
Yeah, so there's junior and senior infants,
which is like kindergarten one and two.
And then we have primary school
that goes from five years of age up as far
as uh oh i'd like maybe like 10 or 11 okay and then from 11 up to 18 is secondary school so it's
like we we talked about this once before it's like our elementary school through middle school yeah
six through eight and then nine through 12.
Yeah, the majority of students, when they go to college or university, you're 80.
Okay.
But for me, it was that way.
But in primary school, my last three years of primary school, I was put into a reading class.
And a reading class was for people who, like, had severe mental disorders when it came to, like, education.
Yeah.
Whether you're autistic or whatnot.
But they all threw us in the same classroom.
Yeah.
Like, this is going to fix it?
Yeah.
It's like, you're literally putting a bunch of students that have different disorders in together.
It's just chaos.
Good luck.
It was fucking mad. And I learned absolutely nothing from it. students that have different disorders in together it's just chaos good luck it was
fucking mad and i learned absolutely nothing you're just like tahi hida yeah he's eating a
crayon in the corner you're like a droop like i think i'm in the wrong place i was like no this
is not me because i was i was like it's so wild how there's a spectrum of disorders
and they all learn different speeds.
That was like early, like middle 2000s.
That was like 2003 or 4.
But in Ireland, it was like, oh, if you act out like if you're stupid...
It's still the 80s.
You get the ruler.
You get the ruler.
I've gotten the ruler so many times.
Oh, my God. But it's only now in Ireland where it's like the 80s you get the ruler you get the ruler I've gotten the ruler so many times oh my god
but
it's only now
in Ireland
where it's like
alright
he has
an education
learning disability
we need to give him
some
drugs
drugs?
yeah
we need to fix him
or whatever
here's Adderall
read better
read better
go read
do not stare at words until you get it you got it but it's whatever. Here's Adderall. Yeah. Read back. Read back. Go read. Do math.
Just stare at words
until you get it.
You got it?
But it's,
I don't know,
like back then
it was so, so hard.
And I feel like
that's like where I am
right now
is because of video games.
Because I've always been,
it was like my break away
from education,
from teachers and everything
because I wasn't,
I wasn't a good student.
I was the type of guy
now that... You went to college. I did. But good student. I was the type of guy now that...
You went to college.
I did, but I was very lucky in how I got into college.
Because in Ireland, in order for you to get into university or college,
you need to have passed maths or English and Irish.
So you needed those three subjects.
I failed maths.
What's passing Irish?
Irish is a language. Gaelic? No, no, Irish. No, subjects. I failed maths. What's passing Irish? Oh, Irish is a language.
Gaelic?
No, no, Irish.
No, Irish.
It's different.
Do you not know that?
You've never heard?
Can I talk to you?
I'm going to ask you a question.
Dude, I love potato sandwiches too.
I see.
I understand this.
I'm not going to tweak a lot when he speaks Irish.
It's wild.
Yeah, because I think he's like...
He went through a special schooling for it.
He went...
We have a...
I thought it was just Gaelic.
No?
No, so Gaelic is a combination between...
This is like back in the Roman times, right?
This Gaelic is a combination between Irish, English, Welsh, and Scottish.
So that's Gaelic.
Ah.
Whereas it's like saying...
Where did Irish come from?
It's always been there.
So you guys were kicked out...
It was a way to break away from the English.
Because, again, these riffs between Irish and Irish.
They were like, you guys are going to live here.
It's like...
It doesn't have roots in Dutch.
In a form of Dutch. it's it's i've looked
into this once i've watched people it's a mixture and that's english there you go another one for
you um it's it's like it's a mixture between french and german oh yeah it's a mixture of that
so it's like yeah it's like dutch so it's like Dutch. So it's very, very similar. But what happened was we spoke Irish, like, fluently up until 1922
when the British came over.
And if you spoke Irish, you got a bullet to that.
That was during that entire, yeah.
So they killed everyone off who spoke Irish.
But it was, it's really, really sad because the way that it's taught now
in Ireland it's like you have to learn it whereas I hate Irish but now I wish I
was fluent in it it's very akin to what cursive is in the US exactly I forgot
we there is cursive that was forced upon you you had to learn how to write in
cursive now people don't know cursive. It's not a thing anymore.
No, but see, the way that it was taught for us
is like, oh, no, you have to learn it
because your ancestors were speaking it
and it was like the language to speak in Ireland.
But it's a very, very difficult language to speak,
but it was forced on the students.
Whereas if we were taught that,
oh, your great-great-grandfather fought for your country to keep this language,
and this is what the British did to your ancestors if they spoke Irish,
it would make you want to learn it.
And we weren't taught that then because it was very...
It was a no-no.
It was a very big no-no.
So with the Mexican culture,
a lot of first-generation Mexicans that moved to the United States, they didn't teach their kids Spanish because it was...
You wanted to fit into it in America.
Yeah.
So they wouldn't teach it.
So my dad, fluent in French, Spanish, Mexican Spanish, English, did not.
I learned...
It's like, sit down, shut up.
I was like... Okay. shut up. I was like...
Okay.
And then miho and miha.
I was like, uh-huh.
How many languages do you speak?
I'm American.
Just one.
A little Japanese.
You can do the accents.
A little Japanese in there, in multiple accents.
Konnichiwa.
Raiden is now learning Japanese on his own because he wants to visit.
That's weird. Raiden's like, I was getting sent videos, he's like, konnichiwa, that is hello in
Japanese. Horigato! And he's doing it on his own so he'll just watch a video a thousand times and
be like, I know how to say this now. Damn. See, we're hoping to go to Japan
next year.
And...
Arigato gozaimasu.
I'm dying to learn Japanese.
Dying to learn it.
Dude,
go there and learn it
because it is such
an amazing experience.
And...
Dude,
I've talked about it
multiple times.
I'm super excited
to go again
