SHNEAKO - Getting High and Talking about Life 2 Much

00:00:00.620 What up? Kind of quality episode 1415. Let me turn away the video screen so I can't see myself and get self-conscious.

00:00:07.260 It's been a while. I haven't done this in a long time.

00:00:10.040 I don't know. I've been trying to find a way to innovate podcasts.

00:00:12.360 Everybody and their fucking mom is a podcast, especially being more involved in the comedy world. 0.97

00:00:16.620 Everybody has a podcast. Everybody has a podcast. 0.99

00:00:20.200 But there's a lot on my mind, and so instead of feeling like I just had to do it every week, 0.87

00:00:23.880 I have a lot of shit, some ideas I want to work out or whatever.

00:00:27.020 uh but doing more one minute podcasts they're doing pretty well i'm gonna break that apart 0.98

00:00:31.220 i'm trying to work on this berlin video right now i need to catch my breath i just said a lot

00:00:35.720 of words and a lot of time without breathing uh but yeah i'm trying to write this berlin

00:00:40.940 video essay right now um and it's because the the idea is i want to talk about authenticity i want

00:00:50.060 to talk about being real and a lot of being real is well i've noticed like becoming more real and

00:00:56.060 i'm trying to get rid of all the bullshit in my life that's one thing i've been working on is 0.63

00:01:00.000 if there's any character flaws any personality flaws any mental flaws i want to get rid of that 0.96

00:01:06.200 i want to fix it um my biggest problem when i was like 18 19 was ego i was so self-obsessed i was

00:01:12.760 always looking in the mirror popping my pimples fucking like looking at my hair being self-conscious 0.95

00:01:17.820 you know putting taking a picture in the rear view mirror of my camera to see if i was balding 0.99

00:01:22.980 and then like not believing the rear view camera so flip it around to the front face to the front

00:01:27.500 camera that's stronger and then taking a picture with the flash on at this angle trying to get the 0.99

00:01:32.520 best quality image then analyzing the picture and trying to am I balding like am I fucking 0.99

00:01:37.240 you know and that was like my number one problem it was very obvious if you if you're so if you're 0.98

00:01:43.780 self-conscious or insecure like it's fucking obvious you don't think it is because you're 0.92

00:01:48.340 kind of delusional if you're insecure you think people are always thinking about the way you look 0.89

00:01:52.700 you get kind of delusional of the world and how people are perceiving you like he's probably he

00:01:56.420 probably thinks but that guy's not he thinks he's bigger than me i'm probably i probably got a bigger 0.93

00:02:00.600 dick than him if that mentality is is makes you so delusional so i had to i've been trying to 0.62

00:02:07.780 humble myself more recently you know and it's it's tough like it's it's tough to even talk about 0.98

00:02:12.500 this shit because i'm literally signed to a modeling agency i know it's just because i'm 0.90

00:02:17.120 racially ambiguous and stuff and they they want mixed models right now and i'm six two that's it 0.99

00:02:22.060 like i look fucking weird i look like an ape i know but they i'm a model so people must see 0.96

00:02:27.280 something in me i work for nike and so i was for the you know six months before that job i was 0.99

00:02:32.420 working on humbling myself not caring about the way i look not thinking i'm the shit all the time 0.85

00:02:36.740 um it's especially with comedy too because you can't the two things don't coexist at all there's 0.95

00:02:44.100 no model comedians and so being learning how to be funnier because i'm on stage all the time

00:02:49.040 it's like you you can't have any sort of ego you can't have you can't put yourself above the

00:02:53.380 audience at all so one trick i do which is so easy because people don't expect it because i look

00:02:58.100 cocky um i kind of do you know always being on stage and having people perceive you and judge 0.97

00:03:04.940 you kind of understand how people think of you they think i'm cocky so when i say shit like yeah 1.00

00:03:09.020 i'm stupid i dropped out of college to do youtube like i'm fucking stupid easy laugh easy fucking 1.00

00:03:14.500 are like oh yeah i'm dumb i'm kind of dumb people call me a fuck boy and i go into my fuck boy 1.00

00:03:19.520 material like as long as i just put myself down people think it's funny because they don't expect 0.99

00:03:23.760 it and also it's just like i feel like we feel like we could laugh with you people you don't

00:03:28.460 really connect with anyone unless um unless your interaction is pure you know so my my analogy is

00:03:38.220 like i went into this nightclub in berlin called berghain it's this uh it's a it's to be honest

00:03:44.000 it's a gay fetish nightclub well it's now evolved it's not purely gay but that's how it started a

00:03:48.700 gay fetish nightclub where people dress in all black and all coats and when they go in they take 0.99

00:03:52.440 off their coats and they're just wearing a bra with like spikes in it dudes are wearing like 0.99

00:03:56.200 these short shorts there's fat bitches and stuff but everyone's kind of being themselves it's just 1.00

00:04:01.080 like this accepting vibe you get in there and it's like everyone's just walking around you know like 0.99

00:04:05.700 in their underwear in these black clothes and no one's has flashy shit on you can't get in if 0.95

00:04:09.860 you're wearing Nike or Gucci. There's no brands, no labels. This is you yourself. And I'm standing 0.99

00:04:14.660 there for the first time I'm in a nightclub. I didn't feel like I was in a competition with

00:04:18.080 anyone. I was just like there to have fun. It was like a communal experience. It felt like the

00:04:23.240 socialism version of partying. Whereas in America, it's like capitalist party. You order the bottle

00:04:28.560 service and the most expensive bottle comes a girl with big titties and a bra that's shooting 1.00

00:04:32.880 out fucking confetti walks over handing you this overpriced costco vodka 600 for a 15 bottle of 1.00

00:04:40.860 vodka it's all about flexing like which girl's twerking the most who has the most ass out who's 1.00

00:04:46.200 the loudest who's the most famous who has the most expensive section who's throwing the most money at 0.65

00:04:51.220 the strippers it's it's it's a competition in america when you party but this club in berghain 0.96

00:04:56.080 is just severely accepting and it's exclusive as fuck you go up to the bouncer and like he'll just 0.93

00:05:00.840 look at you get a sense of your vibe your energy and go no no wave them away and i saw like people 0.89

00:05:07.660 you know berlin regulars the german people who were like all right let's try to go to berghain

00:05:12.640 this night they walk in no and they're like all right another rejection me i got in i i was with

00:05:17.840 this pretty girl another a model i met at nike in la and she had all this like goth outfit she had 1.00

00:05:22.900 this cool hair she's like dark skinned black there's not a lot of dark skinned black people 1.00

00:05:26.240 so when we went walking up it's like all right these two are like uh at first they asked how

00:05:32.840 old we were um she's 26 i'm 21 they look me up and down they say some the bouncers are like judging

00:05:38.460 us i don't know how to do german and then they they talk privately like uh and i they asked me

00:05:45.840 let me see your id and i hand over my id to the german bouncer and immediately i know i got in 0.95

00:05:50.840 i don't know why just like it's so vibey and energy fucking yoga type shit like i hand him 0.97

00:05:56.260 the id and i could tell by the way he's just like facing me that he's gonna let me in so i feel 0.92

00:06:01.180 confident he looks at the id like go in uh part of the one it's one of the a fan i think he's on

00:06:06.600 patreon maybe not um he was telling me about the whole process of getting in like you have to act

00:06:11.900 like they have all this emphasis on the underground you know berlin is is kind of traditional even

00:06:16.680 though it's hipster but there's such a focus on the underground um and so when you walk in it's

00:06:23.100 not like you're you can't act like you're going to another tourist destination you have to act

00:06:26.700 like it's just another night of berghain another night of clubbing i'm going to be here probably

00:06:30.540 all weekend some people are there for 17 18 hours straight yo and so the example i went on this like

00:06:36.520 five minute tangent the example is like i told my german cousin maurice i told him that i got

00:06:41.300 into the club and then he's like whoa what day was it though it probably wasn't packed i'm like

00:06:46.740 oh it was a sunday he's like oh that's why like he's it's like oh that's why you got in and it's

00:06:52.640 just like dude the little interactions like that like he was you could sense his jealousy and like

00:06:59.060 he had to put me down to like he's he's never been to the club so he had to put me down to

00:07:04.240 as like an excuse oh you probably just got he said like you probably just got in they liked you

00:07:09.780 because of your mix like all right man just like you'd be like cool you got it to berghain you know

00:07:14.220 i'm just telling you something that happened on my trip i've never been to berlin never been to

00:07:17.940 germany it's cool like i went to this club and it summarized my experience in berlin

00:07:21.880 it's probably just because it was a sunday and so i'm trying to get rid of all of that that

00:07:28.260 competitiveness that like i need to be better than you i need to put myself above you you ever

00:07:32.680 have friends where you tell them your achievements and your accomplishments and they're like oh yeah

00:07:36.340 i i got an a on that paper it's like dude chill i was like telling this guy about how my friends

00:07:41.820 from high school that i hadn't seen in years i'm telling him like yeah like youtube's my job now

00:07:45.800 he's like yeah i just started a record label and bro like okay all right it's this is not a

00:07:51.480 competition it's not me versus you you know we should be helping each other

00:07:56.380 it's like the biggest difference out of notice in europe that that doesn't really exist in

00:08:02.440 in america and so yeah that's i'm just trying to i'm trying to humble myself more i don't want to

00:08:08.480 have any bullshit attached i don't want to have any like ingenuine interactions with people you 0.88

00:08:12.760 know you like passive aggressiveness and just you know what i've never understood was people like 1.00

00:08:18.440 who were like hi that's so great to see you wow you look great oh i hate that bitch 1.00

00:08:24.260 like even dudes do that even dudes would be like oh yeah what's up homie yeah dap you up you good 1.00

00:08:29.900 you good man that's fucking stupid look at his fucking shoes just oh shit this unplug no 1.00

00:08:37.900 yeah just not no no ingenuine no false interact no false altercation people that's that's the 1.00

00:08:44.660 video i'm trying to work on with berlin because that's a couple things i've learned

00:08:47.380 um what else been going on uh but doing more comedy um

00:08:54.480 that was yeah that was like the main thing i really wanted to talk about but i'm just struggling

00:09:00.480 i'm going back to the burghine thing um i've just been struggling to put um that into a video essay

00:09:08.220 you know with the one minute podcast is so easy or it feels more fun and easy because it's just

00:09:13.880 like natural conversation you're just talking to people and now going back to the whole scripted

00:09:18.320 storytelling thing it feels ingenuine in a way it's part of like i've been doing more comedy and

00:09:23.240 I don't, I don't, I haven't been writing at all to be honest. I haven't done any like serious joke

00:09:27.220 writing in a while. I've just been perfecting the jokes that I have. You know, you learn the

00:09:31.700 mechanics of standup and you realize like, if you take a sentence, you can make it funny. Any

00:09:36.720 sentence, if you figure out the right, the right energy to bring on stage or the right, right

00:09:40.900 delivery, all that can be funny. Um, and so even though some of my jokes are kind of mediocre and

00:09:46.480 hacky, the way I present them, like I'm just getting it out there or the rhythm of it, even

00:09:51.320 the rhythm could be funny you can match the rhythm of an audience and they'll be tricked

00:09:54.940 into laughing i'm learning stuff like that i'm trying to get uh a lot of you guys are messaging

00:10:02.920 me on patreon i spent a couple hours this morning at a coffee shop trying to reply

00:10:06.680 there's a lot of them and people always come and go on patreon people are coming and going all the

00:10:10.720 time so it's like someone will message two weeks and then i won't reply because i didn't check it

00:10:15.600 in two weeks and then they'll leave and by the time i message them back they're not even a patron

00:10:19.320 anymore. Um, so I gotta, I mean, yeah, I can't blame you for not wanting to give me money

00:10:24.280 forever. Um, speaking of money, the last video was obviously demonetized, uh, the coronavirus

00:10:29.760 video. Uh, I put titties in it. I was actually, I was wondering if I was going to get taken down

00:10:35.100 or not. Um, it's up still, it has quite a bit of views. And, um, one thing you might not know is

00:10:42.780 like when a video on YouTube gets demonetized, it's not going to get recommended to the same

00:10:46.340 amount of people but luckily like this video already has like the most amount of views I've

00:10:51.260 had in 12 hours like in the first 12 hours from my last 10 passing the last two one minute podcast

00:10:58.740 those videos are doing really fucking well man even with the it got demonetized well I don't

00:11:03.420 know if I got demonetized one trick that I did was I turned monetization off so that YouTube 0.89

00:11:08.080 system would never get the chance to to demonetize it maybe it worked I just moved to Harlem

00:11:15.820 um i moved to harlem it's it's uh uptown manhattan if you don't know new york and that's from law i 1.00

00:11:22.600 was living in long island for the past two years um and long island shit it's a fucking shitty 0.99

00:11:27.420 shitty place nobody in new york city considers it relevant besides like some people from queens 1.00

00:11:32.660 and brooklyn for the most part like when you say new york when you say new york you think new york

00:11:36.880 city long island is east of that it's east of queens like 20 minutes out it's ugly it's run

00:11:42.700 down there's not a lot happening there it's just like it's like a shittier suburbs like it's just

00:11:50.040 like crowded suburbs you know like if the halfway point between suburbs and city there's too many

00:11:56.920 people in such a shitty ugly place but they're there because they're close to new york city

00:12:01.100 um and a lot of them just want to stay there i don't understand that by people who live in long 0.92

00:12:05.260 island like they know how shitty it is but they just like yeah but i just don't know anything 0.52

00:12:09.200 else. I'm just going to stay here. I can't, I can't understand that at all. Let me see if my 0.88

00:12:14.780 camera's still running. It is. I don't understand that mentality, but Harlem is great. I like being

00:12:23.520 in New York city. Um, my whole life has changed. I have this little studio apartment. I'm paying

00:12:28.020 like 1600. Um, it's all I need, man. I'm really happy here, but my stove and my fridge are like

00:12:35.280 15 feet from my bed my desk is there i got a little bathroom a rug and that's it a little

00:12:42.180 closet i have everything you need like everything you one person would need in a house but it's in

00:12:47.220 a it's not that small it's pretty good i'm happy with it i could live here for a couple years

00:12:53.680 happily eventually i want to move to the east village or maybe just anywhere in the village

00:12:59.440 if you don't know that's like downtown manhattan not all the way downtown but uh it's like the

00:13:04.500 east side it's it's the lower part it's more trendy and hip and there's more like bars and

00:13:09.300 it's more new yorky that's where they lived in friends i'm trying to explain new york to people

00:13:13.640 it's like yeah the people and friends they lived in a greenwich village apartment

00:13:18.160 eventually but right now i like being in harlem harlem is uh it's like it's mostly black it's like

00:13:24.680 80 black i would say the census i looked it up it says 66 but where i am like i'm way uptown it's

00:13:30.840 like all black white people around here are like leprechauns you know you don't expect them it's 1.00

00:13:37.120 weird because it's weird being in a place where white people are the minority but actually no 0.96

00:13:43.060 the town i lived in uniondale long island for that's where i was before for two years that was

00:13:46.880 also like mostly central american a lot of spanish people i've lived in the hood for a while now

00:13:54.380 it doesn't feel like it because i don't live in the projects and i make money but i i have

00:13:59.460 i've been living in the in what people consider the hood uniondale new york and now harlem the

00:14:05.140 harlem's getting better it used to be worse i'm telling people now like uber drivers and shit 0.98

00:16:07.000 back i always wanted to see this movie like as i heard it was pretty good but you kind of get the

00:16:11.340 idea of the plot just from the trailer and the title of the movie you kind of know what's going

00:16:15.180 to happen it wasn't any twists and turns in the plot at all it's like a two-hour movie with a lot

00:16:19.320 of characters but they predicted it front to back it started in china from the bats like literally

00:16:24.260 the last scene in the movie is showing like a bat traveling and like uh eating a pig or like

00:16:30.460 biting a pig or something and then they they humans eat the pig it was predicting it exactly 0.56

00:16:35.620 what happened and it even spread the same way at one point in the movie there's like 80 000 people
