Welcome to the Bulletproof for BJJ podcast. Today, jt and I are joined by an old mate of ours, charles Allen Price, who is a strength coach for jiu-jitsu athletes operating out of London in the UK. We came up together as coaches here in Sydney and so I've known him over many years. We were meant to get together in Vegas but Charles disappeared, and in today's episode you are going to find out about the depths of the underbelly of Las Vegas and over the weekend of CJI and ADCC in 2024, exactly how deep did Charles Allen Price, jt Tenacity and Joey Worthington go? Stick around, it's an epic ride. Hope you guys enjoy the episode. By the way, big favor to ask for you is to like and subscribe. If you are listening to this on an audio platform, make sure you give us a five-star review. It really goes a long way to support the show and it takes you like 10 seconds to do. Appreciate it. Let's get into the episode.
Speaker 2:Better listen very carefully.
Speaker 1:A good martial artist does not become tense but ready. Essentially, at this point the fight is over so you pretty much flow with the goal.
Speaker 2:Who is worthy to be trusted with the secret to limitless power? I'm ready. Who is worthy to be trusted with the secret to limitless power? I'm ready.
Speaker 1:Did you go to ADCC at all?
Speaker 2:Yeah, me and Ozzy, me and Christian, we went to ADCC the day two.
Speaker 1:Did you find it a little bit of an assault on the senses?
Speaker 2:after being at CJI. Yeah Well, it was just big. I found the loud music.
Speaker 1:There's fucking like three matches going on at once. It was just. It was hard to focus on shit I thought the vibe was off.
Speaker 2:I thought the vibe was off and I don't know how to explain it properly.
Speaker 1:I mean I think let's say, for example, they've had like a basketball match there, right, yeah, when it's half time, people go get hot dogs, get pizza. There's nothing really going on, except for people go get hot dogs, get pizza. There's nothing really going on except for people like maybe dancing or the mascots doing some shit, yeah. So if you're just playing some fucking I don't know mid 20, you know 2010s hip-hop on repeat, no one gives a shit. But if there's still some jiu-jitsu matches going on, but it they're not focused on you, that that feels off because you're like hang on, this is a. Is this a semi-final match? What's going on here? Yeah, yeah, exactly, you know what I mean. Like I, I felt me personally, like you're saying the vibes off. Obviously they tried to go bigger, to be like this will be better, but actually firework display it had the opposite effect fuck I know people love fireworks, man let's.
Speaker 1:We need more fire techniques monster trucks. You say the fighters walking out, and then the fucking pyrotechnic, and they're. But whoa shit like getting burnt yeah the, the, the first adc.
Speaker 2:The adcc that we we went to in 2022 was way better than the 2024 yeah, why?
Speaker 2:because I think there's more attention on the, there's more attention around it, but I just felt like there's big gaps. Like I remember getting there to watch Taylor, my boy, taylor Pym and Elijah Dorsey I mean, the match wasn't Elijah Dorsey just wouldn't engage, but the whole three matches going on at the same time. You're just kind of like where do I watch? It's like I get it. They're just trying to get through it all. But like these are good athletes. Yeah, oh, everyone on that stage is a fucking good athlete all those matches deserve to be focused on.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think I think just have two.
Speaker 2:Like, if you're gonna do it that way, just do two matches. You could have like two. But if you're renting out the fucking t-mobile arena, you could have two good stages. You could have two pits at that time. There's so much space there to have two pits, right.
Speaker 1:Or two big fucking pits. I think even two is too much, though, because I think it's just as soon as you dilute from one. It just ruins the collective energy of the arena. I do agree. Where, cjr, you walked in, it was like gladiatorial. It's cool. It's like everyone's there watching what's happening, watching that match.
Speaker 2:Yeah, bang, yeah. No, that's the ideal right, just having one match going on and less people. I mean, just do it more frequently, do it once a year, yeah yeah. Do it once a year. I mean, I think ADCC is trying to get the Olympics model you, he's trying to get the Olympics model. You want to go to the Olympic Games. And there's sprinting going on, there's hammer throwing going on, there's fucking shot put. Whatever it's all happening at the same time.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah. So for you, having been at the ADCC, been at the CJI and, you know, had the same athlete compete at both, has Owen talked about his own experience, how he felt about participating in it? Like you know what I mean, because obviously they were very different setups, did he say man, you know I loved going to CJI, it was better than or what, what? What was Owen's feedback about competing in both events?
Speaker 2:Uh, I haven't actually asked him.
Speaker 1:Oh really.
Speaker 2:Don't you guys have a podcast or something? Yeah, we just talk shit on that, fair enough. What was his? I don't know. I think he did Enjoy competing at CGI. Owen likes to get paid. He wants to get money. So I guess he enjoyed CGI because he got 10 grand to go there. Yes, actually, no, I did ask him like, what do you he likes? He liked the rule set more.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he probably had a boring response. He just blocked it out I'll ask. I'll ask him when I get back and you're like looking at instagram, you're like yeah, what did you say?
Speaker 2:what'd you say, mate?
Speaker 1:I wasn't even listening to you but the thing is I bumped into him after the after party. Yeah, like, because there was a critical point at which I think Hodger went strippers and then, like, the whole VIP emptied James Smith was there, gucci Smoothie was there, like, craig was still there, like, and there was just like this like just yeah exodus.
Speaker 2:Hey, man like let's hey, fucking, let's Chug to the boys, let's get in here, let's go, let's get after this.
Speaker 1:And I said to Ola, my fiancée, I'm like you called to go on this trip. She's like, yeah, let's go, no problem. But then we kind of all ended up out of the club and then they're all like the white rabbit. Yeah, you're just trapped in this maze. Vegas is weird. I saw we were at the bar, whatever, Joey and I hanging out, ola, and then eventually our boy, dark Prince, and we also saw the Wizard of Oz back. He came out and, don't forget, fucking Young Jack. Young Jack, our video editor, was there. Anyway, long story short, we shout out respect, much love.
Speaker 2:Don't fuck this up, Young Jack.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you'll fucking hear about it, we'll dock it from your pay. So what happened was we, these boys, peeled off. We went to go home and we bumped. Ola lost her phone. We didn't know it at the time. She'd actually left her phone somewhere in this fucking immense place. We're on our way out. And then I was like, oh, just call us an uber, where's my phone? It's now like 4 am. We're like fuck, we didn't even know where we were. We're just trying to find our way back to the bar.
Speaker 1:And on the way back we bumped into owen and owen's missus is like remembers ola from the adcc? And she's like, oh, hey, how you going? And like we were fucking wrecked. Ola was drinking doubles to my singles and she was just like I gotta find my phone. I gotta find my phone, freaking out, yeah. But they were like no, it's okay, love, you're all right, you're all right. And I had a little chat to owen then and it was. It was cool, it was a random chance. What were you chatting about? Meeting, how was it? What did he think? How's he like Vegas? He's like yeah, we're going to keep it going. He's like I'm here for it. This is great. He was having a good time. He seemed genuinely really disappointed, but pleased, like happy to be there. You know what I mean. That was his vibe.
Speaker 2:He definitely wants to get a CGI too. Yeah, Trying to make that happen as much as possible. I think the CGI boys they do really like him, so he should get the call-up.
Speaker 1:We'd get behind that. How would? Is there an option if he's not in a team? Are they doing some kind of super fight?
Speaker 2:set-up at all, not some kind of super fight set up at all. Not sure I think it would be the team.
Speaker 1:I think it would be on that Misfits team. I know there's already a few people confirmed. Oh, that's like a….
Speaker 2:Yeah, I know there's a few people already confirmed and I think they are interested in Flano to do that. One of my boys is gunning for the Lost Bandidos team. We'll see. We're going to see what's gonna happen. I think all this call is gonna be revealed soon so I mean we're excited for that when's it? When's that meant to be august? I, I think so.
Speaker 1:August to september in vegas, august let's talk about bad investments for a second. I do this often. You probably are guilty of this too. You finish training, you drink your water, you empty your water can or whatever, and you go to the shop because you're still thirsty Gas station, corner store, whatever it is and you're looking for electrolytes because you know that electrolytes are the thing right.
Speaker 1:Michael Jordan used to drink them. You see it in sports. Get me some salt, get me some magnesium, etc. And you end up buying a Gatorade or a Powerade over here in Australia and the shit's really expensive and it tastes good, but it actually doesn't have much going on in the way. A good investment is acting ahead of time and having something like sodium in your gym bag so that you know you can be optimally hydrated and you can be having a powerful dose of sodium, potassium and magnesium, which are the electrolytes your body needs to perform at its best in your system before training and then ready for you to go after training. This is absolutely the best investment you can make when it comes to hydration, and the beauty of it is that it works out way cheaper than a Gatorade. So if you are the kind of person that finds yourself going to the corner store most days after training and buying the expensive sports drink. Don't do it anymore.
Speaker 1:Go to Sodi S-O-D-I-Icomau and buy yourself some of this elite stuff, because I'll tell you what. I use this every day when I wake up and then I use it again before I get to the gym and after training, especially in summer when I'm sweating a lot and nothing makes me feel hydrated or perform as well as drinking soda on a regular basis. Get your hands on some now. If you're not sure which flavor you like grapefruit is my personal favorite, but if you're not sure, get there. Taste the sample pack. It gives you a nice little sample of the full range of flavors, which are all pretty excellent, and you can find your favorite flavor. Get Sodi now. Go to sodicomau and when you check out, make sure to use the code bulletproof15 to get 15% off any purchase. Go there now. Get hydrated drink the best stuff for Jiu-Jitsu. Are you going to go back JT for this year, mate? We're going back. We're going back.
Speaker 2:Hard, I'll be there, yeah, you'll go, you'll go, you have to go, yeah.
Speaker 1:Are we? It's not a question of are we?
Speaker 2:Where will we be to get to america? I'll fucking take it. I like america. Yeah, you love it over there. Yeah, I like it. What do you like about it? I don't like vegas, but you know, I like. I just like the intensity that america has to it. I like, you know, being in new york, uh last august. So when I went over there in august I was like I'm just gonna go there for a month. I did, uh pretty much a week in new york, uh, four or five days in miami, four plus four or five plus days in nashville, went to austin, amazing um, and then vegas. It's just sick. I like the intensity with that. You feel like when you're in america. New york has got a great intensity to it. It feels like you're at like the mecca of the world kind of when it comes to media, and I was just posting stuff on instagram.
Speaker 2:It was fucking popping off because you're in a good time zone and whatever it just like I. I don't like. If you make a good video, it's going to fucking blow up anyway, but it just. I just felt like excited to be in america it's got a fucking like vibe to it there you go, I like it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, I know you mean. I think too it's like the. It is like a cultural mecca for all of us yeah, and you can't help it, it's western media it's the hub of western media yeah, it's, it's. There's so many films, tv shows, things that occupy your consciousness and you're like, oh shit, that's here. I mean I'm in, I'm in this movie. Yeah, you know, like which is this reality that we've constructed?
Speaker 2:yeah, I mean like, even like, look at like wokeism, where's that come from america? Australia got wokeism, now where's that coming from america? I mean we don't have to dive deep on the subject, but it's like because it's a bit of wokeism coming out of the uk, mate no for sure. But there's definitely wokeism in the uk. But where's that?
Speaker 1:all come from america potentially, I don't potentially, don't think about it, I'm not woke, I don't know. Yeah, I think you are, I don't think we're all a bit woke.
Speaker 2:We're all the work yeah but I think like, yeah, america's just that big, that big hub. It's gonna be interesting to see what happens the next four years with, uh, trump, trump and fucking hell. Well, no, and mask.
Speaker 1:Well, let me the mask show, bro. Well, let me let me get involved in fucking british politics now too, elon.
Speaker 2:Yeah, british politics is fucking cool. Have you seen that? No, what's he saying?
Speaker 1:he. So he went over and was backing the whoever that conservative party is with um faraj the tories.
Speaker 2:I'm all for that mate.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he was back, but then the reform party, yeah, and then they and then they and I and I don't I don't know anything about their politics, so I don't have a stance. But but then, um, and so I think faraj was like put some shit out, like oh, elon's a great guy and we had these meetings and you know, really happy to have his support. And then Musk puts a tweet out a couple days later being like I don't think Farage is fit to lead the party. And so now Farage has like got fucking pie in the face, kind of deal, shit, yeah. And they're talking about who the fucking next leader of that party is going to be.
Speaker 1:Oh, wow, yeah, and so you're like Mask is just going around fucking pulling strings, Wow.
Speaker 2:He's the richest guy in the world and also people will follow him.
Speaker 1:But how funny did you see? When he posted on, he posted something about like go fuck yourself in the face, and then two days later he's like you know what?
Speaker 2:People need to post nicer things on it. He's a lunatic man. People need to stop.
Speaker 1:What's with the negativity guys? He's a lunatic. People need to stop.
Speaker 2:What's with the negativity, guys? Like you know, people fucking like people just love him.
Speaker 1:He does dox people. You know what I mean he. He will shut people down if he doesn't like what they say.
Speaker 2:He's just, he's a wild man. He's got 10 kids from 10 different women as well, Doesn't he?
Speaker 1:So he's like anyway, I'll give you that. Yeah, but I think ultimately, what I'm hearing from my friends in America is the vibe around the economy and technology is up.
Speaker 2:People are pumped.
Speaker 1:Because Trump is not putting any limitations on that end of the spectrum. So if you're in tech and you're doing well, yeah. If you're making money and pushing fucking innovation but if you're an Amazon delivery person, life ain't great.
Speaker 1:It's polarizing because it depends on where in that cycle you live. So there's plenty of people being like this is the best thing ever and then there's other people saying it's the worst thing ever. So it will be interesting to see how it plays out. But I think ultimately, if we look at the development in jujitsu, there's going to be more and more big names and big money in jujitsu in the States. We're going to see that 100%.
Speaker 2:So that's exciting. Like we were chatting about before, it's people getting more leverage behind their own brand, people creating their own brand. Like I think you've got to do it. Like, if you're a jujitsu athlete, you've got to. You've got to spend a bit of time. Like, obviously you're at training, but like and I see the, I see all the I know what these guys lifestyle are, I hang around these fucking guys all the time. It's like, if you're not, when you're not training, you're eating or just chilling out got to put some time into getting putting out good content, because you've got to get eyes on you. You have to become your own brand. You have to become someone that can have a bit of like you said before leverage. A bit of leverage. Like if you've got fucking, if you're an instagram athlete and you've got 40 000 followers, that's leverage you've got. You've got eyeballs on you. You can, you can. You can sell things. You can make your own money. You're not desperate to get on these cards or get on these fights yeah or you, you can.
Speaker 2:You can demand things that people people you'll get on more shows because of it as well and, I think, a lot of these fellas and it's been the theme of the podcast we've been doing the last couple days you've got to find a way to get more eyeballs on you, whether that's doing techniques or becoming a character Like Sebastian perfect example. I trained with him on. I didn't even know he was until he put up that post of him flipping off Pavel, which is great.
Speaker 2:I'm sure he wasn't even like at the time. He was probably just being like, oh, this will be funny, I think it was a joke, wasn't it it? Was obviously a joke. Pavel's cool he doesn't care.
Speaker 1:The bit that people missed is also afterwards.
Speaker 2:He was like ah, he's like, and yeah, paul's like, yeah, yeah it's like sabs, sabs, sabs, a nice guy, and it's like it's just a joke, but I it's so perfect because, ibgf, they carry on like a bunch of fucking clowns, like they're wearing suits and they got fucking microphones in and they're just such cunts. At the mate I was competing at Europeans.
Speaker 1:This guy now gets banned from the IBJJF for a year. You can't ban me.
Speaker 2:I fuck you. I'm a master's one. No, I went to. You'll have no one else at the comp.
Speaker 1:What are you going to do? What are you?
Speaker 2:going to do to me. I went to do the. They called me up and I was like, oh, I'm wearing a hoodie, I'm just going to take my hoodie off and put my rash guard on. I had no top underneath the hoodie, so I just took it off and the guy was like no, no, you can't be shirtless here. I'm like, mate, just fucking relax, like I'm not going to go back into the changing room, and he's trying to push me to the changing room. I'm like, mate, I the fuck up.
Speaker 1:It's jujitsu, mate, it's not that fucking serious did you like drop the cnrg on him with the suit?
Speaker 2:I was just like, just just relax, mate, and that's it's, it's. I love that that that he got banned for like for one year, and now that that that post has gone has blown up because there's this real.
Speaker 2:It's made people realize that, like, what a joke. He's got banned for a year for doing that and that and, but also it's fed seb some fire under him. And I chatted with him and I love this attitude he's. He's like yeah, I got banned for a year, but you know that reel's blowing up and fuck it. You know he's got a job and he, he hates doing that job. I hope he doesn't mind me talking about this, but it's like he hates. He hates doing that fucking job.
Speaker 1:We will get him on. So we will get him on to talk about it. Great.
Speaker 2:But he hates it and he's like I'm going to get up to a hundred K followers at the end of the year and I'm going to fucking crush it. I'm going to get the matches I want and make my own money and I'm like, fuck, yeah, man yeah, the thing about it is, it's not just that and you can see.
Speaker 2:You look at his content right now. He's just, he's banging up, he's doing two, three reels a day and he's gone. He's grafting mate, and that's the thing. If you're jiu-jitsu, if you're, if you're doing jiu-jitsu, sure you can graft at your training. That's all great, great. And I understand, like a lot of people don't? They don't want to have the personality to talk to the camera, whatever, but it's like jt and I want 2025 to be your best year of jiu-jitsu yet.
Speaker 1:And how you're going to do this? You're going to follow a structured strength and mobility program that is designed specifically for you. That's right. You're going to follow a program that's going to help you build a strong, robust, flexible body that is resilient to injury. This is not only going to help you perform at your best on the mats, but it's going to support you in day-to-day life and it's going to keep you as injury free as you can possibly be in a wild game like this.
Speaker 1:Now we have programs in the app that are designed for whatever training scenario you find yourself in. If you've got access to a gym, we've got programs. If you have a home gym with a couple of kettlebells, we've got programs to suit. If you've got a piece of floor space and nothing else, we've got a program for you. So, wherever you're at, even if you don't have any training experience, you jump on board the app and we will walk you through, step-by-step, what you need to be doing to build a strong, mobile body for jiu-jitsu. And the best part about it is that JT and myself are there, along with the full coaching staff, to help you along the way. You can take a two week free trial of the app. You can train for free. All you got to do is go to the app store, search Bulletproof for BJJ and download that app and get started. Sign up now, get started training. Let JT and I walk you through the process of building a strong, robust body and let's make 2025 your best year of jujitsu yet.
Speaker 2:My mate Angus talks about this. You have value. They can provide value and share their thoughts to a wider scope of audience. With the power of social media, you don't need to hold onto that information. When you can share that to heaps of people, whether it's techniques or concepts or talking about some ideas that may be helpful to other people. Just get out there, get on camera and talk about it. And so what James James Smith talks about as well, give value. And of course, it's going to be shit when you first start. But the process of you know get, get, get getting in front of the camera or creating videos or whatever you're gonna. You're gonna learn how to market yourself. You're gonna learn you're probably gonna get better at your craft because you're explaining it more, and you've got to learn how to like compartmentalize that into a 30 second to one minute video. But it can change your life yeah it can change.
Speaker 2:It can fucking change, like it's changed my life. And so I focused on I was just like a pt and my pt business was going really fucking well. But I was like I want to. I'm doing 50 hours a week plus and I don't want to. I don't. I want to have money to be able to do what I want travel, whatever. I'm just going to do, and I love jiu-jitsu. I'm just going to do or become an online jiu-jitsu strength coach and I just devoted all my, all my attention to that on social media. And I go back and look at some of my videos, even the videos I was doing this time last year. I'm like, oh, they're so shit. But it's like the the process of just being like I'm just gonna put out information, just keep going, keep going. Some videos I did was like you know, 60 likes or like 2 000 views, but I was like, fuck, yeah, you just keep going, keep going and the graft of like you're going to get better and it pays off, mate.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it pays off, totally true. Yeah, fully agree. Yeah, it's something that jujitsu athletes need to. I think there's like a bit of a maybe there's a hesitancy but also a bit of a laziness around it. Yeah, maybe there's a hesitancy but also a bit of a laziness around it, yeah, and it's like it's kind of like that thing of probably just like no, no, no, like I'll just get really good at my craft and that's what's going to take me to the top it's not good enough.
Speaker 1:It's not, and the clock's ticking and you've only got a fucking period of time. It sorry, no, it's just like I. I think people in business do the same thing, right gym owners and coaches and stuff, where it's like they just find excuses to not do that and and you have to get over some of your own personal like insecurities and vulnerabilities, which are all really normal.
Speaker 2:It's really hard.
Speaker 1:It takes work right but once you get past it you're like, oh, holy shit, this is actually like quite fun and it's super rewarding 100, it is enough.
Speaker 2:If you're the best, it is, it is enough. Like mika galvao, he's not doing it like really anything with social media, but he wins everything. Colabate, not doing much with social media wins everything but you can't look to them.
Speaker 1:That's the route. Yeah, no, no, I don't, I don't, I don't even think they're doing it, particularly like with the support of flow grappling, because they're the golden no, but they're successful.
Speaker 2:No, but that's them themselves they are.
Speaker 1:But I would say that, if we look at anything, if like, in total agreement with you, if you look at the most successful person in terms of recognition, influence everything. Craig, craig jones oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:He works his ass off yeah, 100, but I'm saying in terms of, like, garnering attention. He is the fucking model. And who is he modeled himself off? The greatest entertainers of all time, and they're not jiu-jitsu folks. So, like you know, controversy and being different. Another instructional about close guard. No one gives a shit, but it's been done to death to counter that that point.
Speaker 2:But uh is. But also look at, like actually gordon works fucking hard on this in the social media. That's. That's a good example To counter that point. But also look at, actually Gordon works fucking hard on this in the social media. That's an example. But the Rotolo is an example, wildly successful. They're not putting effort into their social media whatsoever or their media whatsoever, but they're just, they're fucking amazing at jiu-jitsu. So it's the same for Levi Everyone knows him because he's fucking amazing. So it's like not everyone'svi everyone. Everyone knows him because he's fucking amazing. So it's like not everyone's going to be the absolute best. However, if you can, you can get loads of eyeballs on you just by putting out good, good fucking content and be pretty decent at jiu-jitsu and win lots of comps, you can still make money you can take money and live a great lifestyle and then if you've got more eyeballs and you are going to watch you.
Speaker 2:I guess that's my point, but it's not for everyone that's the challenge.
Speaker 1:Can you bring yourself to do that kind of work? Well, I think actually we should put a pin in it there, because we've got a bunch of other stuff to chat about too. But yeah, I think what you're saying about brand is so relevant and the biggest problem is like there's no media training, professional development. There's none of these elements in jiu-jitsu, because jiu-jitsu as a sport is actually professional. Sport is still in its infancy. Whereas you look at basketball players, you look at football players, these guys are getting media trained quite young because they have to take press conferences and they have to do deals with brands to make money and you know what I mean and whereas you got jujitsu people who fucking uh, you make you want to shoot yourself in the face when they talk.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, again, it's up to them to be creative, like even some of the people who do get media training, like you, I think, something like you've either got it or you don't, and you just got to get. If you just get yourself out there and just get on the fucking camera, and if you've got ideas to share, you've just got to share them. But don't be afraid to fucking share them.
Speaker 1:That's the main thing you, but you can build that right. Like some people have more of a gift, but anyone can do it.
Speaker 2:Anyone can do it if you've got some creative flow, because it's just, I think. I think I look at social media as just being creative. It's a creative process, right, making good videos. Okay, I've got an idea. How do I want to relay this to a larger audience in a video that's going to bang? Not even bang, but how do I just get my message out?
Speaker 1:I think this is the difficult because being good at jiu-jitsu, as we've said before, is a good mixture of the tism and steroids, and neither of those two things makes you a good communicator. No, it's all communication you know what I mean, and so that's that's pretty important to have enough self awareness to go. Oh, but this is how I like information. You're like an audience doesn't give a shit about that.
Speaker 2:You've got to speak to a person where they are, yeah, which means you've got to go outside your own head even looking at some of my boys when they do technique tips or like they show techniques, I'm like, oh, this is, this is such a shit video. This is such a shit video I made, like me and owen I really like the ones you do with own.
Speaker 1:By the way, they're funny technically, the little intros with everyone.
Speaker 2:Yeah it's just stupid. It's like sub 60 seconds. It's got a bit of chat to it, yeah, like, but then owen's, owen's got the idea of it. Now I watched christian do one the other day. I'm like, why did you film it like that? Look, shit, the fucking angles all off the chat, shit. No one's going to watch this show enough, no one, fucking. Like, comparative to some of the ones that we've done, the technique tips that get fucking, you know, 500 K views and it's like you just got you make it like mildly entertaining and it's going to fucking do well, it's better yeah for sure your shit.
Speaker 2:Instagram. Just get in the charles on price at instagram charles own experience on spotify and youtube.
Speaker 1:Yeah, giddy up son. Yeah, I can see on the next one give me that weekend show.
