In this episode of the What Day Is It? Podcast, I sit down with a good friend of mine to talk about his experience in the Overwatch League. We talk about what it's like being a streamer on Twitch and how to deal with the pressure of being on the rise.
00:01:05.960Stop. Wait, you taking the night off tonight?
00:01:08.960I have a dinner like I gotta leave in like 10 minutes. What is it for?
00:01:12.960Some super high classified shit. Classified shit?
00:01:15.960I can't talk about it right now. How you like in LA so far?
00:01:17.960It's good, but like it's a lot of pressure sometimes. Yeah. Yeah. Do you like being in the house?
00:01:23.960No, I do I think this house is like the best house I could have ever chose you know
00:01:26.960I mean like this is the best people I could have ever chosen
00:01:28.960Not you're like literally like this has been like well. I had an opportunity
00:01:32.960I told banks is I don't think I told you so this other house wanted to recruit me
00:01:36.960This is like a week ago or so they want to recruit me and they want to be like backstabbing you guys type shit and go leave and join them
00:01:42.960But like let me ask you a question like who who what other house what other people what other group has like the diverse and like already established
00:01:51.960You know what I'm saying? There's nobody there's not there's no other group
00:01:55.960They offered me they offered me money and they said we could build a whole brand off of you
00:01:59.960But they expected me to fucking switch up on the people who gave me this life-changing opportunity
00:02:04.960Which I'll never do no but also at the same time bro like you you built yourself you bust your ass this dude works so fucking hard man
00:02:10.960He's like he's easily the hardest working person in this house right now
00:02:14.960Uh, every day of the week yo, he's ready to stream ready to show up for his people
00:02:18.580Um, plus he's hella protective of us too
00:02:21.920He knows i've been going through some shit the past uh the past few weeks and he's been asking me every day
00:02:27.500Yo, like you ready for me to go crazy on these motherfuckers and I keep saying no, you're not doing that shit
00:02:31.780That's funny. Yeah, because shit blows over yeah shit blows over and so there's no need for there's no need for responses
00:02:36.900That's one of the things you're gonna have to learn. You know what i'm saying?
00:02:39.220Like you only got to respond to very little shit like if some big dog comes for you
00:02:43.760Somebody wants somebody from the top wants to talk shit then you got to respond otherwise
00:07:50.920It's so funny cuz yo like I don't know
00:07:54.360It the one thing that always upset me about about being in this industry and and this is and this is partially my fault
00:08:00.200And it's just it's just kind of the way things go is
00:08:02.760They don't get the the fans and the people that watch don't get to see a lot of fans
00:08:06.920Work on it. Fuck no. No. Hold on a second
00:08:09.400I've been great about that don't worry, but let me let me I just mean in general
00:08:13.000I don't even know I don't even mean our people yeah
00:08:15.320I just mean like in general like the people that watch the shit the people that consume the shit
00:08:18.360You call them family call them friends you trust me. I've been good about that myself. Okay, okay
00:08:22.600They don't get to see the shit that goes on the behind the scenes trying to like
00:08:27.160The business side the like landing different talents on I want to start showing a little bit more of that stuff because I think people are super
00:08:32.120Interested a couple of those get people that you just mentioned. I've already been trying to line up for you
00:08:36.760You know what I'm saying? Really? Well, you know about the one we talked about the other day
00:08:39.640Oh, yeah, but I think you can get those people. I think you've proven that um
00:08:43.880That you have enough pulling enough like enough leverage to pull like big fucking and you're doing it right now
00:08:49.160Yeah, have you mentioned that one guy that you want to be the last rapper yet or no?
00:08:53.320No, you don't even want to mention it yet, right? Nope, I'm a little bit bit worried about that, but I can literally get him right?
00:08:58.920Oh, yeah, is this you tell me? So I have a rapper who I might even announce chat
00:09:03.640And he'll be my last rapper I ever have on my stream and uh
