But you find out after the ending that his wife was trying to work it out with him.

Speaker 1:

So at the beginning of the game, his wife's talking about leaving him. He's about to lose his daughters, and his whole time he's been on the oil rig. Yep, he about to lose his wife. He's losing his daughters. He about to lose. Ain't no cell service, is it? Nope, he about to lose. He lost his job. He lost his job at the beginning of the game, bro. Literally, you're getting fired at the beginning of the game and it's so sad because, like that's when it's all said and done, he goes to the other side not knowing the good, not knowing that, not knowing that he had it, had a chance, that his wife was trying to fix it, not knowing none of that, bro, it's so sad. It's so sad. All right, uh, that was a short one considering. Uh, it's a lot of half of them we're not really too familiar with, and sad media sucks.

All right, all my life my parents told me not to open the basement door, but I got curious and disobeyed them. What is that glowing ball in the sky and why does it hurt my eyes? I thought that was going somewhere else. That was, that was stupid. That's the top one of all time. What is that glowing ball in the sky? Oh, my God.

Speaker 1:

The kid was in the basement. Not to open the basement door because he's in the basement. That's his first time seeing the sun. Yeah, oh, my God. Well, it's not that stupid. Yeah, it's not, it's not.

I was like go down and yeah, I thought it was down. That's sad, yeah, that's that's sad. Sad media back again again. Bro, when the kid never made me guess where he kept my daughter, I went for the basement and he said correct, allowing me to see her. But when I found her severed head in there, I learned that every other choice would have been correct as well, because she was on pieces throughout the house. No, just because he would have not seen her severed head. Yeah, yeah, maximum. We'll appreciate the five gifted.

At? 10, probably 11 hour. It's 10 hours and 30 minutes into the stream and I'm losing sanity. I had to walk away and eat for a little bit. Nothing, I don't know what's real and what's not anymore and like that one hurt my feelings, so I'm just going to skip it. It's okay, bro. I'm just not going to read chat anymore. It's okay, bro, because, like you know how we play the back rooms and you lose sanity and it's like drink some almond water yeah, actually you in.

Speaker 1:

Whenever I consider unallowing myself to escape my parents' abuse, I just recite my mantra you don't deserve to die. Ironically, now that they are old, hungry, covered in bed, sores and begging me to put them out of their misery, I still have the same mantra oh, it turned around, that's crazy. It turned around. That's crazy, it turned around. That is crazy. It goes around, comes back around. Oh, my baby, ain't that Beyonce? Yeah, yeah.

Oh, my god, I framed the first letter I got as a police officer from a woman thanking me after I had supported her through her daughter's unaliving personal, unaliving self-analysis. Okay, I passed it in my hallway every day for nearly eight years before realizing the handwriting was the same as on the girls unaliving. Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. It was the mom. That's crazy. The mom did it, bro.

Speaker 1:

My husband has been very upset with me since my failed unaliving attempt. He's crying non-stop and he won't acknowledge me. It's not failed, it's not failed. Wow, that's okay.

Speaker 1:

These are just getting deep. I see why these are at the top. Okay, here we go now. Be careful. That line of rock salt is the only thing keeping them out. The man said welcome, welcoming my group into his refuge. Sea salt, I clarified. Sea salt keeps us out. Oh, he let him in, he let the. He let the demon, the skinny walker, whatever they, he let.

You know, I'm saying now that we, now that we deep into it. Okay, uh, I was born blind but was lucky enough to have a loving mother who took care of my every need. Imagine the betrayal I felt when a stitch slipped and a ray of light hit my eye for the first time.

Yeah, these, I'm pretty sure they're like these are they're writing these as like not real two sentence horror stories. So like this is these are y'all minds go in crazy places. Yeah, as I slit her throat, I looked in her unblinking eyes and realized too late that she wanted to live. I knew it to be true, because mirrors don't lie.

Welcome to. I'm glad I'm not on that side in that, but welcome to internet city fm.

Speaker 1:

This is episode five, officially. How you doing if you're new here? We used to be named the dark humor podcast, but then we started over. We we didn't post for a year or two. Dang just in a minute with the 14 gifted.

Speaker 1:

As you heard earlier, we're live streaming this Currently on a 24-hour live stream. It's Michael's fault. You want to talk about why we're here? Yeah, we're here. You want to talk about why we're here? Yeah, I'll tell it. It's really my fault. On stream we play a game called Marbles and it to race their marbles.

Speaker 1:

Basically, I made a bet with somebody if they made place top 10 that we do a 24 hour, because they've been asking us to do a 24 hour for months. Right? Also, I don't like this person right now who, yeah, yep and um, because I'm getting delirious in the comment section any, if you got a comment section, whether you're listening or you're watching on youtube, wherever you got a comment section before I say it, I want y'all to guess what place he came in. Aaron said if you place top 10 in this marble race, we'll do the 24 hour. I want y'all in the comments, not the string, because you already know guess what place he came in. Go ahead, pause and type it. And if you've already typed it, he came in 10th place.

Speaker 1:

Now look, now, look out of 100 people. Now, look, this is that was racist. Now, this is the craziest part. Right, the first time we did this, um, he didn't, he didn't even, he wasn't even in the race, yeah. But michael was like, oh, do it again, do the race again.

Speaker 1:

No, they said double or nothing. And you took the offer. They didn't say double. They did say double or nothing. And you took the offer, oh, I was giving double or nothing to do. I gave it. I gave, I was giving double or nothing to do, and then I might.

Speaker 1:

He said mike, he said no, give it to all of them. I said all of them. I said because at first it was like top, you was doing top three at first, yeah. And then I clarified you gave somebody top 10 or whatever. I was like top three or top 10 for everybody. He was like top 10, you like do it for everybody. I was like all right, yeah, so it's really both our fault a little bit, a little bit so, um, yeah, it's our. Oh, we gotta do drunk. Oh no, oh, they just.

Speaker 1:

We got incentives on the screen. Actually, y'all can see it. Y'all can see it if you watch it on youtube. The sub incentives is for stuff that that they, you know, they can give subs and we'll do. Um, they just reached 200, which means, in the same stream, we gotta do drunk uno I've already done. Where I'm tattooed up with yeah, he has fake tattoos on because they reached that incentive. We drunk thick water earlier, which was terrible. If you ever get the idea you want to drink thick water, don't, don't do it. It's not it. It it's not the taste, it's the consistency.

Speaker 1:

Also, shout out to you ladies that, like men, yeah, y'all are real troopers. Real troopers, I love y'all. You know To take the shot and spit it out, y'all know what kind of shot we talking about. To take that thick shot and spit it out is one thing, but to take that thick shot you, hey, I'm gonna look at you like yeah, I'm doing it because I love you. You don't love me, you're sick.

Speaker 1:

Look man, the timing is just all off. Wow, we are like massively behind. And then we gotta play pico and we're about to be behind again. We can cancel pico. I just told her we would do, we would do it. She called while I was, while I was canceling. Bro, cancel it, bro. You gonna cancel on them like that. She don't understand. We gotta make content, bro.

At first, the first Nine hours it was cool, I was cool. I'm sorry, bro. I went to eat. I got so good I was struggling. Oh man, the first nine hours, I ain't gonna lie, I was cooling. And then I went to go eat and it was like my battery went. But guess what? Also, I gotta tell y'all in this. Well, let me get this off the table.

Speaker 1:

Uh, michael randomly took a honey pack. Well, it came in. No, first wait, you gotta preface this, bro. No, no, we were streaming.

Speaker 1:

The honey pack got sent in our po box for some reason. I don't know how the company found us. And you pop one. And they sent it right. I actually think somebody might that watches us probably did it as a joke, honestly, uh. But I just took the joke a step further. And it's just honey. It's literally just honey. It's not like okay. So the purpose of the honey pack, for those that don't know, is a uh, intercourse enhancement. It's like a blue chew or a viagra not sponsored, but we're not sponsored by no honey pack. But they sent it in the po box so as to make the joke further.

Speaker 1:

I popped the honey pack. It's literally just honey, though. So it's like it got other stuff in there, obviously, but it's just honey, bro, so like it'll still be. Like aaron gonna touch my leg and I'm gonna get stiff. It's gonna take somebody I'm actually interested in. You know what I'm saying. It was just as a part of a bit. What you want up, bro, what you got, go ahead.

Speaker 1:

Since we doing a mukbang. This is a not the usual way our podcast will go. By the way, we actually are winging it pretty much. We got the topic early on stream. They told us to do two sentence horror stories. Neither one of those topics that we started with went how we expected them to go.

Speaker 1:

And now we're in a hot chicken mukbang. So what we got here? And dave's hot chicken. We got dave's hot chicken, all right, and he's gonna rate this after first bite. One out of ten. It's a thicky. He got pickles on it. What else is on? Is that coleslaw, coleslaw, whatever sauce they got. And hot chicken. And hold on, we gotta let them swallow. We need a rating. We need a rating.

Speaker 1:

That's not a. I mean, that's not a sandwich, that's a slider. Put that to the camera. That don't look like no slider. That look like a whole chicken. That look like a Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich. What the hell? And what we giving that after first bite? This is amazing One, this whole amazing one out of ten. Ten, that's a slug, bro. Only sliders, I see, be like the size of this. Oh, he's, he's loving it. Yeah, he's in heaven. It's gotta be a 10 here we go hold on.

Speaker 1:

So our roommate, simba the god, she wants to try this place. Right, she would be so mad because this is the greatest chicken sandwich I've ever had. Why would she be mad? There isn't one near her. Oh, there isn't one near her. This reminds me we was at simba's house when she uh, lived in jacksonville, which she no longer lives next couple days, but she won't live there.

Speaker 1:

But we kept seeing this place by her house, culver's. We was like Culver's, what is that? It looks very Caucasian. It looks like a very Caucasian fast food joint and we're like what is that? What is that? I'm like, oh, that's that place. I've been seeing one of my favorite YouTubers that I watch eat all the time and to them it's gas. They go there all the time and I never paid attention to what they got, because the main guy always gets a salad and I'm like we should try it one day. But the YouTubers are also white. It looks like a white establishment.

Speaker 1:

I'm not sure we landed in Houston one day because we from Texas, we live in Houston. We landed back in Houston. We saw Culver's about 20 minutes from the airport. We say you know what, pull up, let's do it. And Aaron, how would you rate Culver's? 10 out of 10. Gas Fire.

Speaker 1:

Even the chat is saying fire, culver's is fire and that day's hot chicken must be fire too, because that shit is gone. It's gone, bro. How long have I been talking? Somebody rewind the podcast and see how long it took him. It's gone already, bro. He demolished it. Bro. That bitch amazing. He inhaled that joker two minutes, but it's like that. It's like that. Amazing. He inhaled that joker Two minutes, but it's like that. It's like that twin.

Speaker 1:

I don't care what else you eat and I get it. Okay, all right, what time they close Day's Hot Chicken? They probably close at like 10, 9 or 10 or something like that. I'm going to try it. I'm going to try it, I'm going to try it. But yeah, culver's, man, it's always fresh when you get it, it's always. I'm never eating chicken again. You never eating chick-fil-a again. Whoa, whoa, I just ate. So I can't get it now to the day I die, you know. No, okay, that's an exaggeration, we're gonna be out on the road somewhere. You know I'm saying you're gonna eat chick-fil-a.

Speaker 1:

Let's just say remember how, like, when a pop-ye sandwich came out, you was like damn, yes, way better than chick-fil-a. Yes, this crushes the popeye sandwich. Oh, wow, wow crushes the popeye sandwich. That's tough, that's, that's high praise. I mean, he did inhale it. So the first time.

Speaker 1:

Is it blasphemy? Anybody else had days hot chicken. Is it blasphemy? Let me see. Let me see what chicken? Is it blasphemy? Let me see. Let me see what you? Let me see the order. Let me see the order. Let me read it off.

Speaker 1:

He got the mac and cheese, which you haven't tried it. He got the dave's number four mild. He did get the mild slaughter. Okay, all right, we're gonna have to give that a try. This not the place we tried.

Speaker 1:

We went to the j cole concert. What was that place? We tried a hot chicken place. It was nashville hot chicken. Oh, we try nashville hot chicken. Oh, better than popeyes. Yeah, now I need it. I need it.

Speaker 1:

Let me see what time they close hold up. Oh, he going for the mac, he going for the mac. Oh, he look, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, let me, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm sorry, I ain't even asked. Thank you, that's good mac. That's good mac. That's good mac. That's about it's average. Yeah, about the same as chick-fil-a mac.

Speaker 1:

Let's check. Let's check what time this day's hot chicken close will. We, will we be getting this during the 24-hour stream, yes or no? 10 45 is the last time to order. Okay, I'm gonna set an alarm. I'm gonna set it's eight o'clock now. We are playing pico at 8 30, so we got 30 minutes till we play pico park with simba.

Oh, we can't tell her. You don't want to. Is that good? Is that good? Don't want to. It's that good, it's that good. Don't tell her. Don't tell her. Is that good?

Speaker 1:

Michael, when have I ever doubled back to the same restaurant in a day? The smoked brisket at chipotle, exactly. Wow. So I'm gonna set me in alone for 10 o'clock. Wow, it is that good. He said it's awesome, it's so awesome. He inhaled it and walked away from the podcast.

Speaker 1:

No, what happened? All right, bro. So I just set my alarm right for today's hot chicken. Boom, we can't tell, simba. I just got a text message. I said I can't try today's hot chicken. It wasn't silver, it was somebody else. No, you know what you better not. You better not, no, no, no, I just got a.

Speaker 1:

I got a text from my love interest that said I can't try Dave's Hot chicken without them. She's watching. I gotta wait, damn it. 10 out of 10, nigga. You know what it's like. It's seasoned.

Speaker 1:

You remember that Korean Chicken sandwich, the Korean fried chicken sandwich? From where? From Cole. Okay, remember how, the first time we had it, it was gas, yes, and then every time after that it was mint, mm-hmm. It was better than the first time we tried it, cole, oh man, because it's the perfect amount of bread. It's not too hard, the bread's sweet. It's sweet and spicy.

Speaker 1:

Y'all telling me, y'all talking about some sneak Look, chad is toxic. They talking about sneak. She's doing the same thing you're doing right now she watching the stream, she watching, and what I'm going to have? To come in, I'm going to have to. If I was to sneak it right, then I'm going to have to come sit next to walk into her apartment. I'm going to be sitting here for the next 10 hours Itching to say something hey, chat, should I get another one? Chill, bro, chill, dog, chill.

Speaker 1:

Don't treat this like the Chipotle Smoked brisket which was also gas, by the way. It was phenomenal. I had one the other day. I ain't even tell you twin bro, it's bro, it's just, it's that equivalent. Jeez, it's that, bro, that smoked brisket. They need to keep that at Chipotle forever.

Speaker 1:

So you got the two slider meal. Oh, you got the slider and the tender. Oh, y'all really going to get him to do that. It's the two slider meal, slider and the tender, slider and fries.

No, no, I won't do it. I won't do you like that. I won't do you like that. I won't do you like that. I won't do you like that.

Speaker 1:

All the memes, all the, all, the, all the gifts you gotta be on your chat, oh, the gift that I put as the announcement to tell people to show up to the stream. My fault, bro, you know I didn't. You know I'm saying, oh, uh, we do gotta do drunk uno. Um, this is gonna go horrible. This is gonna go bad, chat drunk. This is going to go bad, chat Drunk. Oh, no, this is going to go bad. I'm not even going to lie to you, man. It's going to be fun For smacking me with a bottle earlier too.

Aaron, let's think about this. Oh, there's a lot that's happened today. All right, we started this at 9 am, 9 am, 9 am, sharp. Actually, rutsu was actually in the chat at 858. And he probably had to go do something right now, but he was in the chat at 858. We got to be on here for it. We got to be on here till 9 am. Tomorrow. Bro, if you're thinking about streaming bro Tomorrow, bro, if you thinking about Streaming bro, build up the audience A whole lot Before you start doing 24 hours and subathons and man Cause.

How you spell disaronno? Dang it. We got disaronno. No, we don't. That's what you drank. Our disaronno. That's been gone. No, we got rum. That's what's in there. We got three different types of rums. We got that's all. We got. Bruh c4. Call the feds what. I'm gonna have to pop us some c4 in a little bit, probably after pico, because I feel like my last bit of energy is gonna come After we play Pico Park in 30 minutes.

Speaker 1:

You got anything you wanna talk about, aaron, I'm lost, is what I'm here to talk about? I'm here to talk about how my brain was so clear Two hours ago and now it's just fumbled. That's why you just disappeared. No, I actually went to eat. No, after you ate you, you just was gone. Well, no, I had to go do something on the computer and then, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, my brain is. There's no news. Is there news? There's no news.

Speaker 1:

Right now, I don't have news, man, I've just been thinking, bro, what you been thinking, twin, we got to get rich, okay, and the reason why I'm gonna look for love again. You know what I'm saying? Wait, cause, like that's the Cause, look bro, the tie in, look bro, because right now, right now, I have to make sure, you know, we focus. I have to make sure we focus, bro, right, you know what I'm saying and I know me. I get it. I'm not good with distractions. You know is a real thing. I get it, I get it and you know I just I think after this, uh, this year, after this year, this next year, you know I'm saying we focus. I actually think the rest of this year, going into the first half of next year. It's gonna be amazing. It's gonna be amazing as long as we stay with what we're doing now. Yeah, it's going to be amazing.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, we can't miss videos because we already we didn't already miss videos for this one. We didn't have nothing recorded yesterday some terrible ass memes. Well, it's because the yes, the memes were terrible. Um, they said it sounds so good. Aaron won't love. It's true. I just think it's time. It's time for you to get it together, because you don't want to. I can tell you Aaron's fear. I can tell you what he's thinking right now. Tell me what he's thinking. All right, you're my best friend. He's okay. He's okay with the growth that he's expecting from himself. Yeah, he just doesn't want to get too big before having a partner that likes him for him and not for being known.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, because, like right now, we got people that know us. Obviously, y'all know we internet city channel with a million subs, but we nowhere near the where, the level we want to be. We want to be. We don't got motion like that for real. Yeah, we just so happen to be one of the million sub channels that if somebody came across us they'd be like damn, who are they? Damn, they got a million subs. They got a million. What the hell? Where the hell I been? We, one of them channels. It's thousands of channels that got a million subs that you never heard of. Yeah, facts. Now, compared to how many people are trying to create content, the number of channels with a million subs is small, yeah, but it's still thousands of them. So we find ourselves finding one every week.

Speaker 1:

Speaking of content, bro, this may sound sexist, ok, I apologize, in case it is. I don't know, but I'm just saying what's in my mind, right, what's on your mind, twin, if you're a woman, uh huh. And you're pretty, uh huh. And you wanna make content? Right, you have the ultimate cheat code, ultimate. Also, would you like a Certain mixer For this?

Speaker 1:

De Serrano, like, how drunk Are we getting? He's drunk, oh no, I don't know how drunk we getting. We gonna have to thug this stream out. Buddy, we don't got nobody to take care of us. We don't need nobody to take care of us. We're gonna be right here. We're gonna be right here. It surprised me, bro. What would you like? What you? Oh, we got ginger ale, so I'm solid. Where are you sure you positive man? We got a whole thing of ginger ale in there where in the fridge, in the pantry. Okay, hold on. Okay, I, I get some, I get some, I get some, but yeah, no, I just uh, I, the reason why I say that man, uh, a good friend of mine, she's, um, finally doing content and like, uh, after you probably been telling her bro, I have been okay.

Speaker 1:

So, like, I've talked to you and carmen about it, I've talked to Simba about it. Okay, I've talked to um, I've talked to several people about this one friend. But this one friend I'm a hundred percent certain if she made content full-time, she would blow up in under a month. Aaron's hands are actually, yeah, they are, goddamn, get off me, twin fuck. Like she would blow up. And I'm saying I personally think she could be monetized in making a decent living on content, probably one month in, because she already has over 100,000 followers on Instagram. I think she has like 60,000 followers on, uh, tiktok, like she's beautiful, she's a fucking nerd, but like she's the whole nine. And so I'm like, bro, if you make content, you're a shoo-in.

Speaker 1:

And I say that to say I've been running across a lot of people women especially like on Twitter, who've been talking about how they want to get in the content, but they don't think they can do it. And these are some ladies that are like really coded video games and like have really great personality and like, and I'm looking at these different girls and I'm like dude from a guy who's in the space trying to constantly level up and be in the next level bro, you are a cheat code. And so, like I say this to say, ladies, if you want to do content creation, you want to give it a try, lean into it, have fun, don't be self-conscious. Truth be told, in a male dominateddominated space, you're more than likely than not to. If you're good at a game, got good personality, whatever, and if you're attractive, you're more than likely able to succeed a lot easier. So, if you want to do this content thing, give it a try. Ladies, guys, we got gotta grind a little bit harder. Unfortunately, that's just the nature of the beast. But, truth be told, just that it goes for everyone. If you want to make, if you want to do content, just do. Do content, bro, like, lean into it.

Speaker 1:

I would add to that the reason the ladies are going to stand out is one, because it's male dominated, yeah, um, and two, you can be attractive, but you're gonna stand out by not being one of the, for example, only stands girls. Yeah, twitch streamers, that's on there with the chest full out, yeah, it's like oh, this is an attractive girl that actually has a great personality or a great skill or a creative mind, or knows how to take advantage of opportunities to create content, yeah, hell, and even if you, even if you got your chest full out, be like y'all gotta be something, y'all gotta, you know, not be something. That sounds crazy, yeah, but like, lean into content creation, bro, like I. I genuinely feel like as as messed up as it seems, bro, y'all, y'all can really take over.

Speaker 1:

Like I saw this one girl, um, she was ranting about how like guys are, like, oh, you're only big because you're pretty. And she's like no, I work hard and I'm like granted, you do work hard, but you're also pretty. That shouldn't, that shouldn't, that shouldn't lessen your work. That's not, that's not a negative thing. Like we be saying if I was a woman, bro, thanks. And we be making a joke, but it's more of a sexual joke, but it's. But either way, yeah, if I was, it don't matter what I, what I, if I was born something else, a woman I would still be trying to do what I'm doing now.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, bro, I just I just really think, like when you're the content creator, space is very unique and as time goes on, I'm looking at it and I'm like, bro, a lot of people can make a lot of money and I'm looking at, I'm looking at a lot of people who try to do streaming, who try to do content, especially. Like there's real pretty people that that have tried streaming, they have bigger fan bases and it fails. And like, when you go look at the content for one, they're boring as hell. Or they you see the boring or they don't work hard and nine times out of ten it's probably boring. Because you're not trying, yeah, and you don't really. You think you just because you click, go live, don't mean you're trying. Yeah, don't mean you're trying like, um, also, streaming not for everybody, yes, streaming out for everybody and certain things might not be for, like, we've never, we don't take, we don't have our success from tiktok and we like to say, like lean into the fact that tiktok is not for us, yeah, but we, you don't need tiktok only to make it.

Speaker 1:

You don't need youtube only, you don't need twitch. Only, there's different facets, different ways to make it. Now, tiktok might be the most efficient way. Yeah, it might be the most efficient way to promote to market. Yeah, but you don't need every platform. Yeah, like, we find better success on instagram reels way better, way better.

Speaker 1:

I've had popped off on instagram. I've had several, um, several things go viral on um instagram where tiktok won't even push it. Yeah, but tiktok wouldn't even push it. Oh, but tiktok wouldn't even push it. All like stuff does great on instagram for us, yeah, but for somebody else it might not. It just might not.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and I just, I just want you guys to um, just kind of put it in your mind that this content thing is really doable. It's very, very especially if you do something that you know the average person does not know about or is not good at bro or doesn't think about bro. So take advantage. So, peace, my home girl that's doing content. Now, right, I'm gonna keep bringing her up, because at this point I'm like, yeah, you're gonna be successful, and I'm about to be like I told you so, ha, I told you so, right, she.

Speaker 1:

Um, so I've played Elden Ring. I stopped playing Elden Ring at a certain point in time I got very late game Find the gaps in the market, thank you. And she's new game plus it three times. So she's beat the game four times. Elden Ring yes, the same person we was talking about. Yes, oh my god, you see, oh my god, that's why you went. I'm like stuff like that. It's like the, the guy that's our mechanic. We like, bro, you work on soup, mega bills, essentially, yeah, all day, every day.

Speaker 1:

Why are you not recording it? We've been telling on this for months, damn near a year and a half. Finally on it, finally, finally on it. He comes, he comes up to us we picking up the car. Oh, I just want to thank you guys because I'm monetized now that I'm actually recording. We've been and like telling you, bro, she, new game plus, um, new game plus plus, she beat it four times. Right, elder ring, she's good at she's about to beat, uh, sikoro, or she's about to play sikoro or something. I know she's about to play ghost of tsushima. She also collects pokemon cards. She, um, so many options. What else, what else? What else?

Speaker 1:

Granted, everything, don't every passion you have doesn't have to be monetized into a job or monetized, but it's like, if you, if you're trying to do content nine times out of ten, you gotta succeed at the thing that you're good at, that the average person isn't. And it's like it's so many things that, like I'm like I'm talking to and I'm like, bro, nigga, you could do this. He's trying to get her to stream. You can do this, you could do this, you could do this. And the more like I've talked to her about it, I'm like, yeah, bro, you're gonna be successful, you're gonna be successful. And it's like it's funny because it's like I told her. I'm like, look, bro, hell, even with her, her instagram. Um, when she posted, all she gotta do is post like two, three times a week, she cooling on instagram, like cooling a post on two, three times a week. And I'm telling I'm like, look bro, if you just knuckle down, I'm like, bro, you're going to go viral.

Speaker 1:

Now, granted, if for anybody else, you do have to learn certain things about content creation, yeah, and that can all be learned through trial and error in the process. It could be sped up by by getting into the knowledge, because the knowledge is out there. You just gotta be willing to find it. Yeah, if you're working hard enough, creating any type of content and you want it. Bad enough, you're gonna seek the knowledge. Yeah, when I say it's easy to find, it's easy to find on youtube, on tiktok, anywhere. Conferences there's, there's courses, bro, it's every. I'm not talking about courses like, like going on uh, udemy, yeah, and look at us, some of those might be useful, yeah, but it's the information is out there, information's out there, and some of it is out there for free and I think it's just it requires you to pay attention to details and knock it out now and once you.

Speaker 1:

Let me let this the last thing I'm gonna say on it. This is why I believe the knowledge is very important. First of all, you need to want it. Once you want it, you need to be willing to get the knowledge. And guess what's so special about the knowledge once you got it is once you have not just once you have a rhythm and you can have the smallest audience ever. Once you have a rhythm and you can have the smallest audience ever.

Speaker 1:

Let's say, we built a channel to 10,000 subs. It's so much easier to pivot or build something else and it's like let me, let me, can I chime in on this real quick. So, me and Mike, we have undiagnosed ADHD. Yes, and the reason why I bring this up when it comes to youtube and content creation, we see something and we're like, oh, we could do that, oh, I want to do that. Yeah, and we start a channel, so much so. And the reason we can do it. We can literally do any channel we want to do, as long as we can do the like the objective, like, yeah, like we can't do like engineer stuff because we don't, we're not engineers. Yeah, so like, as long as it's something we can do physically or mentally, we can start that channel because of the knowledge and it'll work.

Speaker 1:

So I'll give you an example. We started a pokemon channel. We were seeing I was looking at people pull pokemon cards. I already like pokemon cards. I'm watching people pull pokemon cards. I'm like, yo, this is cool. You know what? I want to start this For one, this addiction I got, I can write it off, but I can also make content and make money off of this. We made the channel. The channel started. It got to a thousand quick by the the time we only posted for a month, two months. Second month, the channel had six, seven thousand subs. Yeah, the lawn channel. I'll do you better. The lawn channel. Lawn channel first, couple videos, 40k, 50k, all because it's like, okay, this is what the big lawn channels are doing.

Speaker 1:

This is what we know works on youtube. It's the kind of thumbnails we know and titles that we know what's gonna work yep, here's how I need to film it, based on how the audience likes it. Yep, and that niche, boom, works, works, works every time, simple, uh, so, all in all, basically, we're gonna end the podcast there. Yeah, sure, if you, if you, if you got something you want to do, if you got a passion, you got a skill, do it, make content, learn. Look at other creators. This is how they film most of the time. This is how they title their stuff. This is what the thumbnails look like.

Speaker 1:

It's okay to make your own thumbnails and edit your own videos in the beginning, because everybody can't pay somebody to do it. Yeah, it's okay to do all of that stuff. Yeah, what's important is you're seeing what works in your niche and other niches and applying it. Thought it was niche, niche, niche, don't matter. So tomato, tomato, nigga, god damn. Oh, bro, your niche. You know I'm saying the lawn channel is dead. It's, it's not. We have nowhere to put the lawn stuff. We are too. We have nobody to do it anymore because we're too focused on other things. But yeah, all in all, if you got something you want to do, you anymore because we're too focused on other things. But yeah, all in all, if you got something you want to do, you got ideas, you got passion, you got skills, lean into it immediately. We'll catch you in the next episode, episode six. We'll have it together because we won't be streaming for 24 hours. Podcast people, we are out Peace.

People on this episode
