Starting point is 00:01:42 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?
Starting point is 00:01:57 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.
Starting point is 00:02:10 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.
Starting point is 00:02:22 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.
Starting point is 00:02:43 100%? 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.
Starting point is 00:02:50 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.
Starting point is 00:03:01 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.
Starting point is 00:03:09 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.
Starting point is 00:03:23 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...
Starting point is 00:03:34 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.
Starting point is 00:03:51 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?

Starting point is 00:04:25 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.
Starting point is 00:04:35 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.
Starting point is 00:04:42 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.
Starting point is 00:04:58 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

Starting point is 00:05:58 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.
Starting point is 00:06:10 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?
Starting point is 00:06:20 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.
Starting point is 00:06:31 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...
Starting point is 00:06:39 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.
Starting point is 00:06:56 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...
Starting point is 00:07:12 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
Starting point is 00:07:25 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
Starting point is 00:07:33 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
Starting point is 00:07:42 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.
Starting point is 00:07:54 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.
Starting point is 00:08:02 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.
Starting point is 00:08:09 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.
Starting point is 00:08:24 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.
Starting point is 00:08:38 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.
Starting point is 00:08:51 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,
Starting point is 00:09:03 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.
Starting point is 00:09:24 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.
Starting point is 00:09:40 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%.
Starting point is 00:09:54 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.
Starting point is 00:10:11 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.
Starting point is 00:10:27 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.
Starting point is 00:10:35 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,
Starting point is 00:10:41 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.
Starting point is 00:10:48 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?
Starting point is 00:10:58 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.
Starting point is 00:11:09 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?
Starting point is 00:11:18 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,
Starting point is 00:11:30 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
Starting point is 00:11:40 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.
Starting point is 00:12:20 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.
Starting point is 00:12:32 Ireland? Ireland? It's R. Ireland. Ireland. Ireland. Ireland. See, it's not spelled like that, though.
Starting point is 00:12:39 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.
Starting point is 00:12:51 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
Starting point is 00:13:06 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

No, was it blank? Was it, were you with Pep? Was it Pep? It was in that arcade bar.
Starting point is 00:15:54 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?
Starting point is 00:16:04 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
Starting point is 00:16:12 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.
Starting point is 00:16:19 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.
Starting point is 00:16:27 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?
Starting point is 00:16:39 It's your boy. It's your boys. Unsubscribe. Unsub. Hey. God. We got Lucky Charms himself here. Gibbs. He knows where
Starting point is 00:16:49 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.
Starting point is 00:17:06 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.
Starting point is 00:17:20 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.
Starting point is 00:17:31 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.
Starting point is 00:17:42 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.
Starting point is 00:17:59 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.
Starting point is 00:18:11 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.
Starting point is 00:18:32 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.
Starting point is 00:18:46 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.
Starting point is 00:19:16 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.
Starting point is 00:19:46 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...
Starting point is 00:20:03 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?
Starting point is 00:20:18 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.
Starting point is 00:20:27 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,
Starting point is 00:20:41 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.
Starting point is 00:20:58 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.
Starting point is 00:21:09 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.
Starting point is 00:21:24 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?
Starting point is 00:21:41 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.
Starting point is 00:21:49 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.
Starting point is 00:22:06 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.
Starting point is 00:22:22 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
Starting point is 00:22:37 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.
Starting point is 00:22:48 And I have like terrible dyslexia when it comes to maths. I just, numbers are just all jumbly for me. Maths? Yeah, maths.
Starting point is 00:22:56 I could never like calculate. Maths, maths. Holy shit. Yeah, I just count up. That was the first word I was like,

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.
Starting point is 00:23:36 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.
Starting point is 00:24:04 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
Starting point is 00:24:54 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,
Starting point is 00:25:02 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.
Starting point is 00:25:20 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.
Starting point is 00:25:52 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.
Starting point is 00:26:16 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,
Starting point is 00:26:32 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
Starting point is 00:26:55 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
Starting point is 00:27:16 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.
Starting point is 00:27:32 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.
Starting point is 00:27:47 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.
Starting point is 00:28:04 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.
Starting point is 00:28:16 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.
Starting point is 00:28:29 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
Starting point is 00:28:54 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,
Starting point is 00:29:15 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.
Starting point is 00:29:29 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
Starting point is 00:29:48 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.
Starting point is 00:30:03 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 because it's local people it's not yeah.

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
Starting point is 00:34:03 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.
Starting point is 00:34:20 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.
Starting point is 00:34:32 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.
Starting point is 00:34:41 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
Starting point is 00:34:51 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
Starting point is 00:35:00 like oh sucky sucky and all that stuff that's the best stuff what do you mean I I I thought it was cringe
Starting point is 00:35:07 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
Starting point is 00:35:14 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
Starting point is 00:35:22 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
Starting point is 00:35:45 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.
Starting point is 00:36:15 I put a stick right along the tongue. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So if you don't play GAA in Ireland, you're a nobody.

Starting point is 00:36:57 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
Starting point is 00:37:09 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.
Starting point is 00:37:29 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.
Starting point is 00:37:47 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.
Starting point is 00:37:55 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.
Starting point is 00:38:09 And I just, I fucking loved it. The storytelling, the art, the action. The darkness. Everything, the twists. I was just like,
Starting point is 00:38:19 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?
Starting point is 00:38:45 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.
Starting point is 00:39:00 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
Starting point is 00:39:16 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...
Starting point is 00:39:27 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
Starting point is 00:39:33 I haven't heard too much about Berserk until... Oh, Berserk? Bro. Eli's got an entire Berserk sleeve. Oh, is that his?
Starting point is 00:39:40 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
Starting point is 00:39:47 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
Starting point is 00:39:55 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
Starting point is 00:40:03 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...
Starting point is 00:40:17 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.
Starting point is 00:40:27 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.
Starting point is 00:40:48 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?
Starting point is 00:40:59 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?
Starting point is 00:41:07 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.
Starting point is 00:41:18 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
Starting point is 00:41:30 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
Starting point is 00:41:37 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.
Starting point is 00:41:47 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.
Starting point is 00:41:56 No, Patrick Rogers is older than us. 45? No, like, 45. Yeah, I'd say about 45. Sorry. Dude, if you've never,
Starting point is 00:42:04 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.
Starting point is 00:42:17 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
Starting point is 00:42:39 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.
Starting point is 00:42:58 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.
Starting point is 00:43:12 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.
Starting point is 00:43:22 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...
Starting point is 00:43:35 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.

Oh, yeah What games do you straight
Starting point is 00:46:55 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.
Starting point is 00:47:42 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
Starting point is 00:48:30 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
Starting point is 00:48:37 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.
Starting point is 00:48:52 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
Starting point is 00:49:14 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
Starting point is 00:49:30 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,
Starting point is 00:49:44 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.
Starting point is 00:49:59 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
Starting point is 00:50:17 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.
Starting point is 00:50:34 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.
Starting point is 00:50:49 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.
Starting point is 00:51:06 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
Starting point is 00:51:22 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.
Starting point is 00:51:36 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.
Starting point is 00:51:57 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
Starting point is 00:52:27 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
Starting point is 00:52:34 this year really yeah so I had to hire an editor because it was like as you know it was too yeah too much
Starting point is 00:52:39 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
Starting point is 00:53:03 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
Starting point is 00:53:16 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.
Starting point is 00:53:23 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.
Starting point is 00:53:31 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.
Starting point is 00:53:41 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.
Starting point is 00:54:12 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.
Starting point is 00:54:45 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.
Starting point is 00:55:05 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,
Starting point is 00:55:12 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.
Starting point is 00:55:24 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
Starting point is 00:55:39 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
Starting point is 00:55:55 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,
Starting point is 00:56:26 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?
Starting point is 00:56:44 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.
Starting point is 00:57:14 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,
Starting point is 00:57:47 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.
Starting point is 00:57:55 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.
Starting point is 00:58:18 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
Starting point is 00:59:02 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.
Starting point is 00:59:19 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
Starting point is 00:59:50 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
Starting point is 01:00:37 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
Starting point is 01:00:52 we have 100,000 on Instagram and then Twitter which is ugh I wish I had more but no it's X
Starting point is 01:00:59 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
Starting point is 01:01:09 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
Starting point is 01:01:24 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.
Starting point is 01:01:51 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.
Starting point is 01:02:04 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.
Starting point is 01:02:32 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.
Starting point is 01:02:42 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.
Starting point is 01:03:00 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.
Starting point is 01:03:26 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.
Starting point is 01:03:40 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?
Starting point is 01:03:56 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
Starting point is 01:04:23 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
Starting point is 01:04:29 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
Starting point is 01:04:38 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
Starting point is 01:04:54 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,
Starting point is 01:05:25 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.
Starting point is 01:05:43 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,
Starting point is 01:06:12 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,
Starting point is 01:06:20 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.
Starting point is 01:06:40 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
Starting point is 01:07:01 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.
Starting point is 01:07:17 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
Starting point is 01:07:36 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.
Starting point is 01:07:49 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,
Starting point is 01:07:58 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
Starting point is 01:08:10 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
Starting point is 01:08:29 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
Starting point is 01:08:36 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
Starting point is 01:08:45 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,
Starting point is 01:09:12 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
Starting point is 01:09:28 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
Starting point is 01:09:56 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,
Starting point is 01:10:14 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.
Starting point is 01:10:25 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.
Starting point is 01:10:35 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
Starting point is 01:10:44 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.
Starting point is 01:11:05 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.
Starting point is 01:11:21 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
Starting point is 01:11:37 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.
Starting point is 01:12:06 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
Starting point is 01:12:22 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.
Starting point is 01:12:49 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.
Starting point is 01:12:59 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
Starting point is 01:13:10 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.
Starting point is 01:13:25 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,
Starting point is 01:13:38 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
Starting point is 01:13:57 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,
Starting point is 01:14:29 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.
Starting point is 01:14:42 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
Starting point is 01:15:09 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.
Starting point is 01:15:25 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
Starting point is 01:15:35 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.
Starting point is 01:15:47 And then when they convert over, I'll never forget the time where I did one with, with, Pool Shark, with Eric.
Starting point is 01:15:54 Yep. And that was kind of like the one that got me in the whole Tarkov directory. Yeah, more or less.
Starting point is 01:16:02 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
Starting point is 01:16:30 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.
Starting point is 01:16:56 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.
Starting point is 01:17:07 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.
Starting point is 01:17:27 Went over to DayZ. I tripled my viewer rate. My view, my average just went up. I was shocked. Yeah. And I feel like
Starting point is 01:17:35 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,
Starting point is 01:17:43 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
Starting point is 01:17:53 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
Starting point is 01:18:01 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.
Starting point is 01:18:10 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.
Starting point is 01:18:22 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?
Starting point is 01:18:33 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.
Starting point is 01:18:44 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.
Starting point is 01:19:01 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.
Starting point is 01:19:21 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.
Starting point is 01:19:42 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.
Starting point is 01:20:12 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,
Starting point is 01:20:29 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?
Starting point is 01:20:38 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,
Starting point is 01:20:49 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
Starting point is 01:21:06 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
Starting point is 01:21:22 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.
Starting point is 01:21:30 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...
Starting point is 01:21:39 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.
Starting point is 01:21:48 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.
Starting point is 01:22:04 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.
Starting point is 01:22:18 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.
Starting point is 01:22:37 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.
Starting point is 01:22:50 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.
Starting point is 01:23:05 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.
Starting point is 01:23:18 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,
Starting point is 01:23:33 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.
Starting point is 01:23:55 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.
Starting point is 01:24:22 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
Starting point is 01:24:53 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.
Starting point is 01:25:21 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.
Starting point is 01:25:38 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.
Starting point is 01:25:55 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?
Starting point is 01:26:12 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.
Starting point is 01:26:25 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.
Starting point is 01:26:38 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.
Starting point is 01:26:57 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.
Starting point is 01:27:09 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
Starting point is 01:27:43 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...
Starting point is 01:28:00 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.
Starting point is 01:28:12 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.
Starting point is 01:28:26 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.
Starting point is 01:28:49 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,
Starting point is 01:29:19 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.
Starting point is 01:29:51 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?
Starting point is 01:30:16 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
Starting point is 01:30:47 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.
Starting point is 01:31:04 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
Starting point is 01:31:13 learning disability we need to give him some drugs drugs? yeah we need to fix him or whatever
Starting point is 01:31:20 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?
Starting point is 01:31:28 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.
Starting point is 01:31:35 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...
Starting point is 01:31:45 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.
Starting point is 01:32:07 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.
Starting point is 01:32:14 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...
Starting point is 01:32:28 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.
Starting point is 01:32:44 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...
Starting point is 01:33:02 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.
Starting point is 01:33:37 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
Starting point is 01:34:10 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.
Starting point is 01:34:35 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.
Starting point is 01:34:53 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?
Starting point is 01:35:12 I'm American. Just one. A little Japanese. You can do the accents. A little Japanese in there, in multiple accents. Konnichiwa.
