Common Movie Tropes vs Real Life

Speaker 1

what's a common trope in movies that never happens in real life ? Okay , shoot the gas tank of a car once and it explodes into a huge fireball . No facts . When you a kid , you really be like , oh yeah , that makes sense , it does , it does . As a kid , I'll be like , yeah , yeah . And then somebody commented and put , and similarly shoot a person in the shoulder . And it's no big deal because there's nothing important . Carry on , I can still do everything . I can walk this off . Oh , living in an enormous apartment in manhattan while you're a bike messenger and your roommate works at a coffee ? Yeah , yeah , bro , the prices of new york is make all movies that these people working at a pizza parlor ? Yeah , you a waitress ? Nah , bro . Living in a fully furnished like big apartment too ? Nah , bro , not a loft like they actually live in ? Yeah , nah , bruh . And then somebody put I always thought it was weird in Big Bang Theory that Penny the waitress has an apartment of her own , yet two people who work at one of the most prestigious universities in the world had to be roommates . Yep , yeah , that is insane . What's a common trope in movies that never happens in real life ? Typing a few things into the computer and magically hacking into extremely complex systems . Nah , I'll do you one better , bro . I'll do you one better . This is something that I just wish would happen in the real world .

Speaker 1

Okay , I'm about to let y'all lean to the mind of Aaron . All right , it's simple . The one thing I want my life to be an action movie . By that I mean something crazy happens . Right , right , me and my friends save the world . I get the girl at the end of the movie Happy ending . Get a cup now . And somewhere in there , somewhere in there , there's a scene where I'm driving a car super fast . What was it about you and your life that I tell you ? And Sybil was here and I think I say well , something along the lines of Aaron's life has to be a scenario , it has to be a movie . It's in my head all the time . It can't just be normal . It's not like my imagination . My imagination is too wild , like to this day . Hell , there's times where I'm driving my car and I'll cut on a cinema like the transformer 3 song while I'm driving . Bro , I just love that . I want something crazy to happen when we go on .

Speaker 1

Look , let me tell y'all we go on road trips or anywhere . He has to play road trip-esque music . He has to , bro . We went to the haunted place the last haunted place we went to and we in the car it's me and matt carmen . Yeah , aaron has to knock . Mind you , aaron's whole stick with Carmen is like acting like he don't like her and acting like he trying to be mean . This fool got Carmen as his teammate .

Speaker 1

We playing road trip games and like , bro , you have to be cinematic , you have to be having fun , bro , I just be , I just be having fun . It's just you , true , true , true . What's a common trope in movies that never happens in real life ? A hundred bad guys versus the hero , bad guys coming him one at a time . All facts , bro . Nah , very real world , bro , they jumping you , you losing , you're not getting all these licks . Nah , I'm gonna be real .

Speaker 1

Do you think , okay , we're going , we're going real world , all right , okay , real . Do you think spies like we know spies exist right , esp , real world ? Do you think spies like we know spies exist right , right , expionage . But do you think spies exist how they exist in , like Mission Impossible , james Bond ? Do you think it's like some real crazy world stuff going on ? Because when you see like interviews of former spies and all of that . They're very secretive , like very , very , very , very secretive . It's nowhere near like the flashiness of getting all the girls and yeah , and the cars of the gat , nowhere near okay . So let me ask you this okay , let's go away from the spy thing . Do you think the cia fbi , not fbi ? I think the cia more so they're experiencing like those extraction in the IRL where it's like a dude is sending undercover solo and there's like a whole bunch of gunfights going on that we don't know about .

Speaker 1

In a sense , yeah , whichever guy they had to go after because of 9-11 , when they finally got him , I think that was a CIA-type deal . Yeah , yeah , yeah . But you know what I'm saying ? Because I'd be wondering , bro , like I'd be wondering where they was working with marines or whichever one it was that found him seal team , seal team and they was working with one of them agencies , bro . Because I'll be wondering like do are there real life incidences where we got like agents from the state and these other places and like some , it's not cool stuff , but it's cool stuff like Low key , like you in a gunfight . It's not cool because you in a gunfight , but it's like , well , you tell us . Yeah , man , I was in a gunfight in Moscow . Da da da , low key , they do be going through some stuff , bro . I just want to meet somebody like that . Like I know I could do it . I'm dead as hell .

Speaker 1

All right , uh , moving on , what's a common trope in movies that never happens in real life ? A random person with no prior training is selected for a special task , at which he later . I just want that to be me , please , you're gonna be cinematic , so bad they . Mr j Jones , you're the only person that can do this , mr Jones , look , why me ? Because you have a special set of skills that no trained operative had . What is it ? You can eat a lot . You're the only one that can win this eating competition . You swear profusely . Under all circumstances . They'll never expect you . Hawks making noise every time they're shown . Wait , no , the bird , the bald eagle , is actually a hawk sound . Yeah , that's the crazy part . Yeah , that's the crazy part .

Speaker 1

Pulling a fire alarm and the sprinklers start pouring out water . Also , the water inside those sprinklers is disgusting . That is actually accurate , because don't it just the warm just go off ? Yeah , when you put a fire , the sprinklers go off . When it's when it's fire . Well , I'm pretty sure . I'm pretty sure there's some places that do do that . Yeah , yeah , you know , I'm pretty sure it's real somewhere . Oh , the water is disgusting because it's not just regular water , it's chemicals . Yeah , it's chemicals . Oh , yeah , what's a common trope in movies that never happens in real life .

Something all right sometimes , just sometimes , women throw up because they're sick , not just because they're pregnant . That's a good one .

And let's continue . Bro , aaron , you showed me something earlier on the TL . It was a YouTuber product . Bro , you want to talk about how genius this product was , first of all . First of all , I hate to say this . I got to preface that with this . I got to preface that . I hate to say it , but shout out , logan , shout out Logan . Paul bro , shout out , but shout out , logan , shout out , logan . Paul bro , shout out low , gang bro .

Creators Discussing Product Creation and Marketing

Speaker 1

.

Speaker 1

They made a launchable competitor called lunchly . It's brilliant . Prime feastables and then , obviously , whatever the main course is , bro , it's brilliant , it's brilliant . Let's see what the picture has in it , bro , bro , and it's opening up a whole nother like a pizza version . Yeah , they got a pizza version . They got like the chips and crackers . That's crazy . Like , truth be told , they really are bringing youtubers to the forefront . Yeah , of like that new prime flavor too . Bro , it's crazy , it's so insane . Okay , they got told it's cool . They got the lunch , the , the crackers in the lunch , me . The pizza version . Yep , nacho version . Yeah , it's , it's brilliant , bro , I'm buying . It's brilliant , bro , like they're taking creators and the creator economy to the next level . Wow , because now we're showing we can compete with these big brands . Bro , yeah , yeah , yeah , I ain't gonna lie .

Speaker 1

When we was at vid summit and they had like a , they had like a little mock store with all the youtuber , the biggest youtuber products . Yeah , in there , some of the stuff , people , it was dope actually . Yeah , it was actually pretty cool to see because they got like products you wouldn't even think that was like a youtuber product . Like there's one girl . There's one girl who has a million plus . She makes a million plus in rev a year and her channel isn't even that big . Or she makes she make the art . Um , we're not , we ain't gonna , we ain't gonna . We ain't gonna , because we're not supposed to know revenue numbers . And uh , even like peterinnon and his company that went from just mainly like camera bags to now they got all kind of stuff of film .

Speaker 1

I'm like yo when y'all get all these products , bro , and the craziest part , like she makes $4 million solely from her product . The shorty , she makes $4 million . The woman I don't know if that's offensive she makes $4 million from the product and her channel's not even crazy big it's not , but the product is really brilliant . Yeah , it's reached the masses , bro , and so it's like , having something like that is really cool . You can make a product that far succeeds and supersedes your creation . Bro , like I want to make something that brings people joy , like a lab box or something cool man , like even crunch labs with mark rover . That's cool , bro . Like you develop that and they get they shipping it out in-house . Mark rover was already , probably , say , a millionaire with just his content alone . Yeah , and then he comes out with this subscription-based product at the peak of his youtube powers .

Speaker 1

Yeah , and it's just I'm not gonna lie like when I look at , when I look at what content creators have made and their products , it's like , dang , what can we produce ? Yeah , because at first I was like for the longest . I'm like , yeah , I want to make an energy drink . You know , like I don't really want to make it now because then I'd have to drink it all the time , and I want to get away from energy drinks . So it's like what the heck can we make ? And ? And that's kind of where . That's where we are now .

Speaker 1

And then , like I look at clothing , right , I look at people like clothing is like a given , yeah , but you look , I look at people like destroying , right , destroying has clothing . It's like what's our thing , like what ? And I think that's where , like the boys in the hot sauce , yeah , and they also have their clothes , yeah , yeah , they have that . It's like it's trying to trying to figure out , like your thing is so hard as a creator , and like that's kind of where I want to lean to and try to figure out . I think it's gonna come with the irl content , yeah , not with the reactions , yeah , and not necessarily the streams , yeah . I think it'll come like it'll present itself like because , like , if you take the boys , for example , yeah , they were doing hot sauce videos and they kind of were like they was that's one of the popular series on their channel . So it made sense like , oh , the hot sauce videos perform well , so let's do the hot sauce as a product . Yeah , and it's working . Yeah , and I think that's probably how a lot of creators come up with their yeah , products per se .

Speaker 1

Yeah , unless you're like mr beasley , you could do anything . All right , I make a chocolate . I wanna do a burger , I wanna . Yeah , bro , and it's like All of it works , like I'm waiting for him To fall in the pizza realm . Yeah , that's an egg , bro . Yeah , cause I know like . Didn't Arak do pizza too ? He did a pizza , he did pizza-fi . Yeah , the sauce that make Everything taste did the pizza . Somebody did a pizza restaurant . Yeah , somebody did a pizza restaurant , but it was only in California .

Speaker 1

Make chips Chips would be five . It would be five for sure . The only thing I'm scared of is food products . Not gonna lie , it's kind of intimidating . There's so much that goes into it . It's kind of intimidating and I didn't gonna lie At some point it'd probably be like alright , let's see what it takes , let's see what it takes , let's see what it's about .

Speaker 1

But know for sure merch is a given . We've had merch before . We're bringing merch back . We in the works to do the million merch . I got somebody looking at it and if that don't pan out , then we're going to find somebody else and , kind of , you know what I'm saying ? Go from there .

Speaker 1

So , like merch , it's like what's gonna be , that Thing , thing , yeah , that's what . That's what they're gonna . This is theirs , this is theirs . Internet City Blue Shoes Okay , I mean , hey , we send one of them Roses to Shannon Short , growl up in that thing . Matter of fact , bro , we gotta talk about that . We gonna segment off All those Shannon Short . Oh , growling in that thing , growling in that thing . That's my Michelle , that's my Michelle .

Speaker 1

Now , look , bro , I ain't going to lie . That's one of my biggest fears . It's going live by accident , by accident , by boy . I'm telling you . Somebody asked me the other day how does that happen ? It's not even one click to go . I'm like , and earlier that day it just so happened , I had accidentally clicked and it went to like my snapchat camera . I was like this is how that happens , bro , it's it's . It's not easy , but it's not hard either . Yeah , bro , you putting your phone to the side while you already in the action . Yeah , I'm not even gonna lie .

Speaker 1

Uh , aaron , what's our game for the day ? All right , brother , all right , brother . I think it's simple . I think today we do the one where we both have a word mentally right , all right , and we are trying to guess the other person's word and we give each other a range of numbers of how close we are to that word . Oh , that game , yeah . So if you don't get the gist basically if I think in my head my word is microphone yeah , I'm gonna have that in my head aaron's gonna try to guess the word and he would say something like recorder , and I would give that a rank of zero to 100 of how close he is to that word . Now we're gonna do , we're gonna have to limit this , all right , okay , we're gonna limit this tomorrow . We'll do 10 tries , okay , and then we switch . Okay , and then , if we don't get it by round two , we're just gonna have to reveal . All right , bet . So I'll go first . You can guess mine first . I'm gonna guess your word first .

Relationship Confessions and Dilemmas

Speaker 1

All right , next up on the agenda . Okay , I have some r slash confessions . Oh , that's perfect , that's , I have four of them . Okay , before we get to our creator of the week oh , I got something after that actually . Oh , you got something , you got something after that . All right , I might go through two of these confessions and let you get into what you want to get into . No , go through your four , go through your four . You know what I'm saying . All right , Confession . Okay , I walked in on my husband giving a BJ to his friend . Whoa , whoa . I'm still in shock .

Speaker 1

After this happened yesterday it was a normal day for the most part . My husband always has people over to watch football , drink beer that's when they got in trouble and hang out in the garage . So he had his friends over and I typically stay inside because I could care less . Time went on . It was later in the day . They thought they wasn't getting caught . Whoa , bro , they're comfortable . They've been doing this . She never comes out here , say they've been . He's been swapping that knob . Time went on . Time went on . It was later in the day .

Speaker 1

I knew he was kind of drunk at this point from talking to him coming in and out to use the bathroom . So I kept texting him because I had a question . He wasn't answering . So I called and he didn't answer . No , god please . No , no , no . So I got impatient . No , bro , this gotta be insane . This is this has to . Has to be the craziest thing . To walk in all you see you walk in . You just see your husband going crazy . I'm talking , man's going mad . All she wanted was an answer to her question and you didn't got the answer to something you wasn't even looking for . I called and he wasn't answering . So I got impatient and decided to just go out there . So I do . I walk out the back door and in through the garage door .

Speaker 1

What I saw I still burned in my head . Oh my god , my husband is one thing to be cheated on by a woman , but do you know how bad it is to be cheated on by he , cheated on you with a dude , with his boys , bro . You know , bro , that bro , that's like the ultimate loss . You know how destroyed I'd feel with his best friend and he's the bottom he's giving the pleasure . You know how crazy that is .

Speaker 1

What I saw is still burned in my head my husband on his knees with his friend's piece in his mouth . They both looked over at me and just kind of froze , it was extremely awkward . It's still in his mouth . Yo , I was shocked and I just shut the door and went back inside . Yo , bro , is there more ? He didn't come back in for a while . He kept apologizing and trying to explain .

Speaker 1

I never had any feeling that he was sus or bi or intimate at all . He explained . Okay , here's the excuse . I guess he explained to me that he had always been curious and when he started hanging out with his newish friend and work out together , they started to explore , a little bit , explore , he told me they never done more than what she saw . I told him I need some space to think about things and we haven't talked much since . I'm still shocked and not sure what to think .

Speaker 1

Yo , bro , this is not their first time . That's not their first time . That's not his first time , bro . No , leave bro , you didn't just do this first time . Also also yeah , I don't want you to feel less of yourself . Yeah , yeah , it's not , it's not your fault , your , your partner's infidelity . That's not because , no matter with who , that's not because of you , it's not because of you . Um , that that's . That's something like wow , that's insane nuts .

Speaker 1

Like all I wanted was to answer my question and you go out , how , on knees well , no , actually that could have been his first time , because he could . They could have been talking about it like at the gym and stuff , I don't know why . And then bring up hey bro , you . And then , how do you bring it , bro ? He did say the friend was new , so maybe the friend was like Egging it on . The friend was probably already open to that and he was probably like , hey , bro , you ever try . And he was like I have been curious . And then they got drunk watching the football . That's insane , bro .

Speaker 1

Why would you do it there , bro ? Why would you do it at all ? You're married , oh yeah , you're married . You're married , bro . If you're gonna try not to get caught , why would you do it while your wife is home and can easily walk into the garage ? It's not a leader , not nothing . Lead a woman , bro , bro . What are we doing ? If you're trying to explore outside of your marriage , what are we doing ? All right , another confession I framed a kid , whoa .

Speaker 1

Wait , I was dating . Reread it , reread it . I framed a kid whoa . I was dating this woman who had a kid . Mind you , I don't mind children , but he was being an absolute little piece of crap to me all day . We get him to bed and she lets me sleep in , since I didn't have to be at work for a few more hours . Then I ate all of his fruit by the foot , but stashed all the wrappers and the box under his bed . She asked me that night if I ate his candy and I said no , but I saw him eating one before bed and she grounded the hell out of him , courtney , if you see this . Well , sorry , it feels good to get this off my chest . Yo , yo , he probably scarred that kid for life . No cap , he like he can't really like .

Speaker 1

I didn't do nothing , yeah , so why is it under the bed ? Why is it under the bed , right ? Why is it ? Did I do this ? He probably don't have A wherewithal to think I got set up . Yeah , he probably . When did I Did I sleepwalk ? When did I eat ? Yeah , nah , that's crazy . All the rappers in the box and then had the nerve to say , yeah , I saw him eating one earlier before he evil bro . That's crazy . Well , he did say he was being a little piece of crap to him all day . So you know what I'm saying . You should have been behaving , yeah , you know what I'm saying . Okay , this one it's wow , okay , okay , what you got .

Speaker 1

My girlfriend is nearly perfect , okay , nearly perfect . She's too dumb to be with . I'm not talking bad at math or doesn't understand what I do to work , do for work , okay , it's not about wanting someone to be a genius or even intelligent . I simply don't trust that she properly closes the front door when she leave . Wait , wait . I simply don't trust that she properly closes the front door when she leaves , just because you have to pull it further than you'd expect . That's why I don't know if she'll properly turn off . Oh , she doesn't properly close the front door . I don't know if she'll properly turn off the gas stove as she figures out how that works . This makes it sound like she's an actual idiot , but that's not even per se the case .

Speaker 1

While these are true scenarios , she manages to live life . She's just very dot dot dot , simple , as we would say wow , I don't , okay for sure . It's also just simple things like never understanding what's going on in a movie . Sometimes there's a joke or reveal that has more than one layer and it's funny because they are , and she will think it's funny but will not fall for the surface level joke and actually won't understand the added layer . I know I have to adjust my way of speaking when I'm with her . I already know not to use big words and often change mid-sentence to make the story easier to understand , sometimes changing the idea behind or the depth of the story so she understands your brother , she's a little , she's a little slow man . Yeah , that's uh . Yeah , that's yeah .

Speaker 1

She truly the most amazing , sweetest , beautiful , whatever girl , she makes my heart melt whenever we're together . I love it when we're together . She's so sweet , but you think she's made of cotton candy . Yeah , bro , I think , I think . I think it's worth it , man , you know , I think it's worth a shot , bro . You just got to pull a little bit of weight , bro . You got to pull a little extra weight , bro . A partnership is 50-50, . Bro , you try to make it seem like she's not an idiot , but it sounds like she's a little ditzy . You know , you just got to pull a little bit more , bro . Yeah , you got to watch her back at all times , which might be exhausting . It might not be for you , twin , but if everything else is perfect you know I'm saying including the bedroom activities then you know it requires just a little bit more , a little extra attention , bro , this one is one for the fellas .

Speaker 1

Um , I put this in here this is the last confession , okay , uh , just because I know we gonna resonate with this one . Okay , especially all my older fellas out there . You know I'm saying guys in their 20s and older . Yeah , uh , christmas for men pisses me off . Oh , that comes off as like I don't want men to have joy , but it's the complete opposite

Thoughtful Gift Giving Among Friends

Speaker 1

.

Speaker 1

A few years ago , I was shopping for my brother-in-law and had no idea what to get him , so I just went to walmart for something quick and easy . I noticed one thing , though everything in the grab gift section was something that my brother-in-law already had drinking games , silly knickknacks , goofy ties , etc . This guy has been in the family almost 10 years , and that's amazing feat , to be honest . He has never wavered in any sort of bull . That has happened has genuinely shot me through the heart to see . These throwaway gifts were probably the most he got from anyone other than my sister , so that year I decided that I had to be completely mindful about his gifts from now on .

Speaker 1

But I wonder , though , how many men actually get this kind of treatment ? Never , never , bro , I'm gonna be so . No , all the time . Yeah , the the sorry . Yeah , I'm gonna be real with you , bro . All the time . Bro , socks , bath and body works , bulls yeah , nothing , bro . The first time you get the bath and body works , it's like , oh , this is cool , this is cool . The second time you get the Bath and Body Works , it's like , oh , this is cool . The second time you get the Bath and Body Works , oh , this is what we doing . The third , the fourth , bro . It comes to the point where it's like alright , bro , every time I've had to move recently I've had to throw away Bath and Body Works , stuff that I don't use because I can't get through it .

Speaker 1

I think because , men , we be like , ah , it's whatever , so much that people don't care . And the reason we're like that is because people don't care . Yeah , because people don't care , bro , it's like I'm not gonna . Why make a big deal if you actually don't give a damn ? Yeah , like it's not as long as my woman is not doing that to me . It's like , yeah , the mother-in-law or the aunts or whatever , they're just gonna get you . You know I'm saying Now , some good cologne . Yeah , that's cool , always take . You know what I'm saying ? The thing is , it's like I love it when it's just A little bit of extra thought , a little tiny bit more Extra thought . Yeah , so prime example . Prime example Like narrator's birthday Was yesterday , right , right , and narrator had Sent me like a couple hundred dollars for my birthday .

Speaker 1

Oh , this is cool . And so I was sitting . I was like I was thinking the same thing , to be honest . Like what could ? So I get this . So I was sitting and I was like , oh , I'm gonna get him like a whole import of tea I know he don't have , so I'm gonna do like tea from around the world we could go , we could go together on it . Let's do it like I was thinking about ordering because , like I'm like it actually shocked me . I was like I saw narrative text happy birthday apple . But I'm like , okay , all right , yeah . And so like I was like I want to get him a gift . That's like like we put thought into it . And so like I was like you gotta be crazy . Thought , yeah , and I was like I know you like tea , so I want to get you tea from countries that you probably never heard of and it has unique flavors that you can or cannot like .

Speaker 1

I would rather gifts from the one thing that you know I like every year , then get the stuff that I could care less about yeah , 100 . I would rather like . If you say , oh , I don't go fishing . But if you was to say mike goes fishing and every year or every other year you give me fishing related gifts , I'd be like , okay , the fact that you paid attention , yeah , you paid attention to this one fact about me , you give me the cool fishing bait and rod one year , then the next year you give me clothes , then the next year you give me another fishing thing , then the next year you give me bad , then the next year . You know , I ain't gonna lie , I ain't gonna lie , so look , so look . Now I can , I can rub in . I'm not a fisherman , though I can rub in like me , being a better friend . Chad , watch this .

Speaker 1

The first time we got real money on YouTube , right Right , I bought Mike a pair of shoes . He's always wanted . It was the Altitude Green 13 . Bought them joints One of the Christmases . I knew you wanted an electric skateboard . I was like my boy , I always wanted an electric skateboard . This is trying to rub it . He's trying to , but it's like that attention to detail and thought . Don't do that , bro , people don't do that . It's actually very accurate man . He's a great , he's a great effing guy around here and I just wish , I just wish people put like that thought into to everyone , like even for like Simba , like when Simba birthday was coming up , like I was , like damn , I wanted to do something for .

Speaker 1

In regards to like Tyler the creator , like before , like she , like she was like , oh , I'm going to flog . You know all that in my mind . I was like this loves tyler , like this literally loves tyler , the creator . And so like I'm like how the hell we gonna do something for her ? In regards to tyler , I was like , oh , I could get her . I'm gonna try to get her , like the collection , that clothing collection he had Expensive , expensive . I'm like bro , I'm like bro , like come on and like even like for like your birthday this year .

Speaker 1

I was like , okay , my plan was I was going to get you two of those like cool , cool custom cars , like those little tuner cars you like . So like I was going to get you like the Japanese imports . So I was going to get you like a and I was trying to get this fool a Chevelle . I was going to get you like a BRZ and a Scion , like the ones you like , bro , these are so cool Because I had found a guy who had two of them . You know what pisses me off ? Chad , what . I'm going to say this even this is only one little tiny piece of the video we filmed the other day freaking , we was playing best friend quiz and it was like what's aaron's dream car ?

Speaker 1

All year before , before august , I'm oh , I'm gonna try to get aaron a chevelle . I'm gonna try to get him a chevelle . Ask me the question in the video and I could not think of what car he liked . And then , when he said it , I'm like , oh , my god , bro . And then I got . I thought his favorite car was the GTR Cause I know he said he wanted a GTR Before , but it was a Tesla .

Speaker 1

But anyway , I feel like if you pay attention to people Like you can figure out what to care about them . You can figure out what to and Aaron taught me a little trick Use the notes and the contacts on the iPhone . Just start writing it . This know they like this is their absolute favorite type of . Don't just write everything . But yeah , this is their absolute favorite type of food . This is their absolute favorite this . Or they like doing this , or they like so . Like , if I can't cheat code , if I can't remember mentally , I'll write a note for like , oh , I know this person really likes this . Or I know this person thinks this is really super cool . Like , for example , traffic , traffic and Killa they love , like Warhammer and 40k . So , like I'm like , okay , if I ever get them a gift , this is the shit , I'd get them .

Speaker 1

Cj is a true Alabama fan . Like , true , oh , he really likes the school . Oh my God , this nigga's like road hot Like I've , coincidentally , never . I don't remember hearing him . The crazy part , he don't , oh , he don't . But when he starts talking the nigga has so much Alabama pride . It's crazy . Like nigga , we got Alabama . Like you don't want to the things that they like and what makes them happy and what makes them .

Speaker 1

You are the type to draw blanks . Like you know certain things about the person , yeah , but you draw blanks . Start writing stuff down , bro , yeah , and then all and like . The one thing I've noticed about guys like guys in general , like good friends in general , they work to be that friend that they know their friends need . You know . I mean like when you have a really good friend , you have a friend that works to be that for that friend . Like , for example , you're not a talk , right , the mic will bottle up and blow up . He's worked on it , he's not that , but he's not a talker . So , but I'm very much like , okay , I know he might need like vent . Hey bro , you good , do you need to talk ? Da da da . That's a good friend .

Speaker 1

That attention to detail . You leave it open to where it's like as long as the person don't be an idiot , and don't like ignore that . You leave it open to where it's like okay , they actually do care , they're trying to , yeah , see what's wrong if the person's not an idiot and they don't go . You never asked me , uh , then they'll know .

Speaker 1

And it's like it's like the truth be told , like I just wish the small attention to detail for like stuff people liked and the stuff people cared about was paid attention to . Like , for example , to be honest , it's not hard , because I remember the first time we got money and I don't know if you remember , but remember that time I went all out on christmas for everybody what I'm talking my stepbrother and his wife and their kid I don't even communicate with them as much as I would like to , yeah , but I still sat down . I was like , okay , yeah , what could be something that's not super generic , that it don't have to be extravagant , but what's something that's not just generic , that I could get them ? Yeah , and I went across the , I went across the board for never doing it , no , never doing it for everybody again , but that one time I had to do all brothers and their kids mom , dad , grandma , everybody .

Speaker 1

It's that attention , bro , because it's like it's not that hard . Yeah , bro , because it's like I know what you care about , I know what you like , so it's all about like . I want you to know your likes , and what you care about is important to me Exactly . And because you like it , I want you to experience this because the the thing was more about like people . That in your family you got to get gifts for that you don't really might not know like that . You don't have to get extravagant gifts , obviously . You just gotta know . It's your brother-in-law , so ask your sister what he likes , bro , and then get something on the lower end of what he likes .

Speaker 1

The craziest part all it takes is you having one conversation with a person . Yeah , and you can figure out that too . You literally can like my stepdad loves fishing . Okay , cool , people will talk about what people will talk about the stuff they they love . Yes , bro , once they like the the uber driver we mentioned that from congo . Yeah , bro , he loved man . He loves his country . Yeah , he , once , he , once he found that , once we found out where he was from and aaron was like oh , that's cool that you're from . He would not , he almost wouldn't .

Speaker 1

Let us get out literally , literally , and it's like I , it just kind of sucks , bro , because I feel like I feel like , as men like this , we go through that a lot . We go through it a lot with everything , bro , I genuinely hate , bro I know this is a crazy thing I hate the afterthought of a gift , when shorties be like oh here , get some a** for your birthday . But you know what a lot of it is . I'm not saying it's like this for all of them , but a lot of it is .

Gift Giving Dilemmas and Etiquette

Speaker 1

A lot of women like stuff like that and they think we like it too , knowing we don't . Yeah , you know what I'm saying . They like the cutesy bs a lot of the times and they think that we would like it . No , I don't , and I also . I also think I don't like like , I don't , and I also think it's a reverse too , like some of it is . I want this grand gesture . Maybe he not me might not want that . I think it boils down to you gotta know your partner . Yeah , it don't mean grand gesture , but it's you gotta know your partner , bro , for those listening audio , somebody in the chat , uh , just thanked us for like paying for his food when we was at the gun range or whatever . Um , and this goes into like being this is not just about being a good friend . It's about being a good person .

Speaker 1

If we're out , for example , this example we're out filming a video yeah , def Shadow , this viewer , subscriber , chatter , coming , driving down to bring us something and we're making a video out of it and spending the day at the range , why would we , as the YouTubers who are making content that's going to get paid for the content , not pay for his meal ? And he just delivers something to one . Why would we not pay it for it ? And two , why would we not show them that we care ? Yeah , like , especially since we all me , aaron and the cameraman all eating on the same tab , why would we not separate ?

Speaker 1

Also , also , also , also , also , also , also , also also , if you're gonna be on the tab , don't sneak , don't sneak on the tab , don't sneak on it . I was just about to say it . We film with somebody and they snuck on the tab and we was going to pay for it anyway . Yeah , like , we the type that's like a lot of the times if it's me and Aaron most of the time or all the time we're going to be on the job , yeah , we're gonna be on the same tab . And then , nine times out of ten , a cameraman or somebody matt is there , he's gonna be on the tab . So if there's extra people , we just like go ahead , bro , put it on the same thing .

Speaker 1

Now we have one , we come in with that intention and then we see somebody that we went go sneak in to order to order and disappear and disappear . Looking at the wall , disappear , like it's so interesting . You don't care about that wall . Yeah , bro , you don't even act like that . You just yeah , bro , I'm going to leave that there , bro , but it's like , it's just . It's like I just wish people , I wish people cared how other people felt . Just care , care about , yes , just care about how . Like , for example , we pay for a lot of things with people we with , just because it just makes sense .

Speaker 1

I appreciate the fact that our friends , when we're together , will also try to do that thing . Yes , like , it's literally a battle between us and simba , and sometimes even true , every time to like , no , we will literally be battling to pull out the car and Simba cuts us out , bro , and it's like , genuinely like . I got it . No , I got it . No , I got it Like back up , I got it and it's like I'm not going to lie . I'm very thankful of , like the circle we got , like I get these niggas a lot of shit Because y'all annoy me and y'all know , y'all know me , y'all work harder , I give them a lot of . But I genuinely , I'm genuinely appreciative of our current friend group . I love them very true , because they're , at the end of the day , to their core beings , they're hard workers , to their core , they're good people .

Speaker 1

Not many people have empathy anymore . Yeah , absolutely correct . Yeah , absolutely hold the door . Yeah , you see somebody drop something right by your feet . Pick it up . It's not , bro , it's not hard to be a decent human , like if you just came from the gym and you think you a little smelly , step away from people , give them facts like it's just common courtesy . Bro , I got one .

Speaker 1

But while we're on the topic , bro , you know I I got a few things for you . I got me a few of the . Am I the asshole ? Oh , you bringing some . Am I the assholes to the joint ? Okay , let's hear it . Am I the asshole ?

Speaker 1

Husband wants to buy a seven-year-old a switch . My husband wants to get his son soon to be seven-year-old son a nintendo switch for his birthday . Okay , nothing wrong with that , nothing wrong with that . I have voiced my opinion that I don't think a seven year old seven year old needs a switch . That's who they're made for . But since I have let it go and I and said I support him getting whatever he wants for him , he has mentioned several times that I should contribute to the gift by purchasing the game or giving money towards the switch , which has led to a huge fight . I do not want to contribute to a gift that I don't think a seven-year-old needs after saying I will give my own gift . He has criticized previous gifts that I've gotten his son , basically saying my gifts aren't good enough . Am I the a**hole for not wanting to contribute money towards the switch or the game ?

Speaker 1

Yes , yes , yes , seven-year-olds are very much capable enough to play a nintendo . It's a nintendo game system and this is not a ps5 . Yeah , this is not an xbox one . Yeah , this is not a pc . He could be playing mario . This is a . It's literally made for the whole family , from 6 to 52 , 72 , 82 . It's nintendo . Yeah , mario party , mario kart .

Speaker 1

Nintendo is notorious for being soft and family . That's not a bad thing , yeah , but it's for , it's for , it's for children and like it's not , like it's going to be taking all of its time , right , you , you can limit the time , but I think it's there's parental controls , it's for children and like it's not , like it's going to be taking all of his time , right , you , you can limit the time , but I think it's there's parental controls , it's time limited , it's not a bad gift for a seven-year-old . Contribute to , oh , okay , what now ? I guarantee you she feel like the a-hole if , like , let's say she's like , all right , fine , I'll get the game , and she walk in there and see nothing but mario games . Yep , come on , game , it's not . It's not that bad .

Speaker 1

We call that being out of touch with reality , yeah , or you think you hear game system , yeah , and you , like a seven year old , don't need it . Why don't you look up what the game it's like ? It's not , bro , compared to like a playstation 5 where he could be playing something gruesome , it's not that bad . It's like hearing a tablet . A seven-year-old need , doesn't need to . They make tablets for four-year-old , five-year-old , six . Come on , bro , just look it up . All we do , just look it up . Yeah , it's like we got mason , his mom had already got him a tablet . But I got him a tablet for my house and , like on the surface it's like what's mason gonna do with a tablet ? But then when you look it up , do your research if you know nothing about it . There's kid tablets . There's literally a whole software system made with parental controls , amazon , kids , youtube , learning all of that stuff learning . They be literally sitting there playing educational games . Yes , like bro , it's not all right , I got it . I got another one for you .

Speaker 1

Am I the told**hole for telling my girlfriend that she should have just let me drive after she crashed the car ? It depends on the circumstances . I , 28 mil , was going to the mall the other day with my girlfriend . I'm usually the one who does all the driving even though we both bought the current car . The previous car was mine .

Speaker 1

All right , she doesn't drive that much and never got another one after her last one was total . She got rear ended five years ago . Okay , so it wasn't her fault . She doesn't drive a lot . Maybe she just wanted to drive , bro , the last time . Okay , the last time she drove was like three months ago and she drives like five times a year .

Speaker 1

When we got to the car . She said she feels bad for making me drive all the time and she says she'll drive . Okay , okay , okay , okay . I told her I don't mind driving , but she insisted , so I let her . Okay , everything was fine , everything was fine . But then when we got to the mall parking lot , she misjudged the turn going too fast and crashed into the front corner of a car . She crashed her front car , front corner of the car into a pillar and didn't break in time . Oh god , we have a tesla , so it's quite expensive to fix .

Speaker 1

To make things worse , instead of just getting back into the car and parking somewhere else and dealing with it , she made a scene standing outside the car , crying and drawing attention to us , and people were staring , some even were taking pictures . We got back in the car with me driving and I told her you can't park there , listen . We got back in the car with me driving and I told her this wouldn't have happened if she just let me drive and that we aren't making that mistake again . I feel this is true , but she got upset and called me an ass and said it can happen to anyone , and she says she still wants to drive more . Am I the asshole here . I get it that if it was her car exclusively . But I don't see the issue if I drive all the time .

Speaker 1

Okay , look , are you a-hole ? Yes , you're that . It's the wrong time . You're the . You shouldn't . You can't say , just be . There was nothing that happened in the situation to where it's like you just outright should have been the driver . It's like she was trying bad . She was trying to do good for you . She was trying to help you out . Also , she needs to drive more . It's actually both of y'all fault that she don't drive enough . Bro , you got to start saying no to it . A lot of that is your responsibility . You're a bro . Yeah , you're the in that situation .

Speaker 1

All right , last one , also on this topic , I'm not gonna lie . I hate when women abuse the not driving thing . Uh , yeah , I hate it . I actually think it's healthier and better for women to speak up more in terms of , like I want to , I should drive a little more . Since you like okay , we're going on a three-hour trip , let's balance this . Let's be a team , let let's tag team that too . Yeah , yeah , yeah . Like three-hour , four-hour road trip . Like help , yeah , let's tag team , I don't mind . But like , let's say I drive there . I drive a three-hour , four-hour , five-hour trip there . When we come back , you can at least do an hour and a half . You just pass the whole time Every time . Hey , chad , I ain't gonna lie to you , I don't be driving . I'm like you got a mic , he be trying . I'm like , no , if we , when we was in Beaumont , if we going out of town To come into Houston , i'ma drive there . Nigga , you driving back , I don't mind , bro , if you drive there , i'ma drive back . I don't . It's like I don't really mind that . That's cool , that's cool , all right . Last one , this one is terrible , this one is terrible . I'm going to say off the bat all right , okay , all right , for sure . Am I that ? So for telling my friend to move on once again before I hear it , it depends , okay , it depends okay

Dealing With Lingering Grief

Speaker 1

.

Speaker 1

I , 26 male , have a friend , a 29 female , whose grandfather passed away Over 14 years ago . Oh , she reminds everyone Every year on the day . She wants everyone To cater to her and make her feel as if it just happened . Today I finally told her that she needs to move on . It happened over 14 years ago when she was a kid , and she can't be mad when no one wants to hear her talk about it all day . Now , look , that's it , yeah , but look , okay , that's the whole thing . That's the whole thing . Can I get up ? Look , wait , wait , okay , it's not necessarily , you're not the , but doing it on the day is kind of crazy . Doing it on the day , I'm gonna say it outright twin , you ain't the . Oh , brother , you not the .

Speaker 1

So now , yeah , with that being said , yeah , delivery always is important . Yeah , delivery is always important , whether that's how you said it , and that could be the time you said , yeah , okay , but 14 years later , from as a kid , and you make everybody cater to you . You can't not at some point like you're 30 , you're almost 30 , it's time to bra . You have to be an adult . You're 26 . It happened , uh , when you was 12 .

Speaker 1

Life goes on , bro . Life goes on , bro . You're almost 30 . You gotta , no , you have to . And , granted , trauma and stuff lingers for a long time , bro , but you have to be able to handle it .

Speaker 1

And this is grandpa yeah , and I'm guessing she was super close with her grandpa Bro , okay , and I would go as far as maybe your grandfather raised you , but You've been , but you've been living more years without him than you did with him . But wait , I'm gonna do you one better . And also , also , right , I'm gonna do you one better , though the thing is , bro , my , my only thing , just don't own the day . That's crazy . Also , it's nothing wrong with grieving every year . If , like , if it really hits you like that , yeah , that's cool . But don't drag you , don't gotta you , don't drag other people . You've been 14 years and you dragging everybody into it . That's your family , bro , if we being honest , you're not as sad as you was 14 . It's impossible . And that's your family , not no one else's man . Yeah , it's impossible for you to be just as sad as you was when it happened . Impossible Combo , appreciate the raid on the stream , but , like you might still feel it , it may still hurt , but it don't stay as much . Yeah , you using that for attention 14 years later , bro , this is crazy .

Speaker 1

All right , mike , what ? Who is your creator of the week ? My creator of the week is a guy by the name . I hope I'm pronouncing this right . Okay , uh , scr , scr , scr . Okay , spelled e-s-i-a-r .

Speaker 1

Okay , what is a like documentary type commentator type guy ? Okay , um , he is the one , and you've probably seen his video he makes so far . He's made like the , the , the amp oh , that kid , yeah , yeah , yeah , I rock with his content . The secret genius in amp and he was a fan of video like the editing , the pacing yeah , he's phenomenal . Yeah , he's phenomenal . The only thing , oh , excuse me , all he has to do is , like find other topics to talk about besides amp . Yeah , um , that will do well for him . Yeah , the one about phantom , the secret genius and amp was genius . The one about chris next door what's happening to chris next door ?

Speaker 1

Genius , obviously , you capitalize on the A&P . I think the way you segment that is to start looking at Other creators . Yeah , mr B's Logan Paul , you start doing Sidemen and the Beast Crew . A perfect example is how Logan Paul is uncancellable . Yeah , that's a perfect title . You got to break out of just that and he's probably a huge fan of A&P . Yeah , you got to break out of just that and he's probably a huge fan of A&P , which is nothing wrong with that . It's just now that he's done Phantom , chris , agent and Davis . He still has Kai . So you got Kai and Duke , but after that you got to it's time . You know what I'm saying . So he did do a Fortnite pro to being kidnapped for $600,000 . It's crazy . Yeah , wow , I . That for 600 000 is crazy . Yeah , wow , I'm interested to see where he goes , because once I saw the the phantom video yeah , I recommend y'all looking that up . The secret genius and afp the intro yeah , masterpiece , masterpiece , masterpiece .

Speaker 1

So my creator for the week is not a new creator and it's not a creator I've talked about . However , when I first got into , this was a creator I watched heavy and it is a guy by the name of Rebel Taxi . Rebel , that name sounds familiar . Yeah , shout out , rebel Taxi . So Rebel Taxi .

Speaker 1

He makes videos and think pieces about old animations , old shows , old things that happened in like early 2000s TV and certain like current pop TV video games , stuff like that Okay , early 2000s tv and certain like current pop tv video games stuff like that , okay , but growing um , when we first got into youtube back in like uh , 2013 , we were doing opinionated nerds entertainment . He was one of okay , he was one of your inspirations . Yeah , he was one of the people I really watched . He dropped a video his last . I think his last video was a month ago , but I saw that he's still been consistently dropping content not as consistent as it was a month ago , but I saw that he's still been consistently dropping content Not as consistent as it was a few years ago when I watched him , but to still be going this late in the game is great .

Speaker 1

Hey , anybody who has success on YouTube in the early 2010s and you still going , mad love and respect , bro , respect , like I plan to be going in 10 years . I ain't yeah for sure , I plan , you know . I'm saying , uh , we was going 10 years ago with , with semi-success , not not like nothing , like internet city , but shout out to you , bro , yeah , shout out to y'all to hit a peak or hit a growth spurt or whatever you want , and keep going . And then you see the whatever decline or plateau you may feel and you just keep banging it out and banging it out . I respect that man . Respect , like even to see people like Roman Atwood still , you know what I'm saying . Or like that second channel hitting 100K is still nuts .

Speaker 1

His new vlog channel he got a new one . He has a new , I think , his daily vlogs . That's why I ain't been seeing nothing . That's why I ain't been seeing nothing . Roman been hiding from me . I'm like , damn , he was posted and then I ain't been seeing nothing . Let me see Nothing . Yep , yep , daily vlogs and he's still on daily . Wait a minute , daily Daily , wow , yeah , 370 . I haven't seen his Instagram post but I'm like , wow , yeah , this . He started . He treated that like it's a TikTok page , bro , this , and started a new , banging it out . Bro , shout out Roman . Okay , okay , I'm surprised you didn't . Oh , I knew something about Roman that you didn't . Wow , okay , good , shit too . You know what I'm saying .

Speaker 1

But like , even like to see Fousey make a reason , even though he was crazy . Bro , we're going to talk about this before we go . Fousey keeps coming . He's like a phoenix . Yes , fousey's like a phoenix , bro , he keeps coming back .

Speaker 1

As much as I have stuff to say about him anyone has stuff to say about him and it's not my stuff isn't really negative . I just want you healthy in what you're doing . I just I want you good , I want you around you tweaking a little bit . Yeah , I want a team around you of people that genuinely cares about your well-being and not just your money . If you ever see this foosie for me , I genuinely enjoy foosie because at one point I saw foosie go from the depressed foosie to the super fit foosie , and then I saw you go from the super fit .

Speaker 1

Foosie to the drake , is going to be here at this show . I saw you . He has so many arcs . Yeah , he had to move from la arc and he with his family and you like , oh he getting it together and then he don't quiet for a while . Then he , like foosie is literally a phoenix . He's going to keep coming back .

Speaker 1

I just hope he has a good team of people around him that genuinely cares , because I think I think to his core , he's a good person . I think the intoxicatingness of the internet and fame and the need to do the craze , to be the craze , can negatively affect a lot . And I'm just gonna be my last thing of the day . Really , as much as I can no longer support Logan Paul I love his work ethic , I'm going to be clear . I can no longer support his actions .

Speaker 1

Yeah , okay , but as a content creator , that niggas man , he , one of them , bro , he is , he's him , that , he is him . He's him as a creator , he , he's him , he's him . As a creator , nigga , he is him , bro , him . I don't even be wanting to give him that . I'd be like man , I can't support you . Game recognized , game , game recognized , he's him . That is him , bro , he's literally . You could hate him as much as you want , bro , but he's him bro . Like I said , I understand if you can't stand him , bro , but he's him bro . Like I said , I understand . If you can't stand him , I understand . If you hate him , I understand . If you hate him , I understand it all . I can no longer watch his stuff in good faith . But that , the work ethic , bro , that boy , no , not just the work , the creativity to pop off in the first place , and then the reinvention and the reinvention and the consistency to reinvent , reinvent , dude , he's like a super from from vine , bro . He's foozy and foozy . Never went crazy . Exactly from vine to daily vlogging . All right , daily is not working like he used to . I'm gonna do big drops , I'm gonna do like he moves to the david dobrik style . What was his other arc ? Podcast , now podcast arc , now wrestling . Then prime and uh , crypto and boxing , boxing arc and now wrestling , wrestling , art dude . The dude's been canceled at least three times .

Speaker 1

The bro bro to be a wwe damn near superstar . He was a champion . He was a chat bro , he was a champion . That's not , bro . You gotta understand , bro . Let me explain this . Let me explain this to you , even though I think it was like united states champ , right , I don't . I'm not gonna say what champ he was because I don't know correctly , but let me explain how difficult that is to be .

Speaker 1

There's people who've been in the wwe for years , years that have never held a belt . Did cody rose ever have one of the smaller belts ? Cody rose has had some of the . Okay , okay , okay , okay . There's people who've been in the wwe for years who've never , because they just don't have the it . They don't have the star potential for him to come in and it's like , as controversial as he is , wwe is like bro you just got , he's a star , he's a star .

Speaker 1

Did you say this man ? Do the springboard backflip ? Huff the top , bro , this is a youtuber , aaron . Yes , bro , a vine star yes , youtuber , yes , bro , I mean , he's not a , he a not a original movie star . No , freaking wrestler yeah , bro , bro , he's been athletic in his life .

Speaker 1

I'm going to say this and I think this is where we leave it bro , as much as people want to hate Logan Paul , logan Paul is the true definition of you can do it , and I know that might sound crazy , I know that might sound like a glaze , but to go , and jake too , to go from vine . Even jake , I never . When jake and logan was in their peak on youtube , I couldn't care to watch jake . I was watching it for research purposes and just try to understand what's going on here . I couldn't care . But then at some point it hit me and I was like , damn , I gotta give it to bro . I got you . You have to , you have to be honest , bro , because look , let's , let's look at this . Oh , the pokemon arc , the pokemon art , oh , my god , let's look at this , bro . To go from vine to professional athletes , professional boxing , to podcaster , to professional wrestler and the company owner , multi-billion dollar company . I'm with lunch and he probably just crossed the bill . I ain't gonna hold you .

Speaker 1

That was , that was a video or two . I saw it . It was like , oh , prime is losing this theme . In one of them commentary videos they just , oh , we losing this thing . Huh , lunchly collab with mr beast , lunchable I'm . I'm gonna be real , bro , if you want to do this in that stuff , ksi . If you want to do this internet stuff , ksi too , ksi too , if you want to do this internet stuff . They are the prime examples of Prime , literally . Yeah , the examples of you can do this , bro , like as much as you might not like them . That's the groundwork , bro . People like KSI , logan Paul , mr B Speed , speed that's the groundwork , bro .

Speaker 1

Work , bro , it's doable . Now , what I will say , what I will say and I said this early on stream you can't look at a lot of the stuff bigger creators do . You cannot do because you don't have the eyes that they have . Yeah , you have . Like , you have to find a way to get that like . You can't say , oh kai , marathon elder ring , I'm a man . No , yeah , ain't nobody gonna watch you man . Yeah , unfortunately , unfortunately it's . He had the eyes on him and he was a noob and it was a hot topic and all of that work . You can use their work ethic , but some of the stuff they do you can't do . Yeah , now you gotta , you gotta find it for yourself . With that being said , look at them and find what within them , yeah , you can take from them .

Speaker 1

Aiden ross , all , bro , as much as you might not like some of these people , bro , aiden's a prime example , bro , and I'm gonna say this and I'm gonna be , I'm gonna we gonna wrap up podcast . I wish aiden had better people around . Facts if aiden ross had better people around him in his circle , bro , and like , I don't know the people , but you can tell that he needs some better people around him that care about him , not just trying to use him for his clout and his money . You can tell aiden has a good heart and but you can also tell , like originally I mean probably still more than likely still does yeah , but but you can tell because of the people that's around him , how he maneuvers and how he works , it's it's a little bit clouded in judge the money and the money it's a lot , it's lot . It's people around . But you know , yeah , yeah , yeah , but yeah , that's gonna do
