00:01:00.000 Thank you.
00:01:30.000 Thank you.
00:01:59.980 I just took the audio handle off.
00:02:01.360 Good?
00:02:02.000 Yeah.
00:02:02.620 All right.
00:02:08.540 What's good, chat?
00:02:09.400 How are we doing?
00:02:18.580 How are we doing, chat?
00:02:19.780 How are we doing?
00:02:32.960 How are we doing?
00:02:33.000 How are we doing?
00:02:35.160 Oh, the money and fame, I still can't get my keys back.
00:02:43.260 My desk is a mess.
00:02:49.540 Hey, guys.
00:02:50.340 All right, we've got to go tune in today.
00:03:18.560 Lock in, everybody.
00:03:22.160 Hallelujah.
00:03:23.940 Mike Malak's pulling up right now.
00:03:26.300 Hey, you know what's funny?
00:03:27.760 This is, I think a certain someone is vindicated off of networking.
00:03:32.100 I saw Mike Malak in the club at like 2 a.m.
00:03:35.900 a couple days ago, and I'm like, oh, pull up on the stream while you're in New York.
00:03:38.900 He's like, oh, okay.
00:03:40.080 He didn't really want to do it.
00:03:41.620 Perfect example.
00:03:44.400 Oh, he's here.
00:03:45.240 Perfect example of how networking the club works.
00:03:50.760 So, I'm going to talk to him for a bit.
00:03:53.640 Got everything set up.
00:03:54.400 I got some questions ready.
00:03:55.260 I'm going to do a podcast style with Mike.
00:03:57.380 Mikey!
00:03:58.860 Mikey!
00:04:03.000 You lost Aura.
00:04:04.140 He's 40.
00:04:05.840 So?
00:04:07.200 I'm 30.
00:04:07.920 He's 40.
00:04:09.520 Or is it in the elevator?
00:04:10.420 They didn't even.
00:04:11.120 Okay.
00:04:13.820 Yeah, it should be good.
00:04:14.580 It should be good.
00:04:15.480 Is Lana Rhodes coming too?
00:04:16.600 No, it's not being weird.
00:04:17.820 All right, let's go to the front.
00:04:18.540 But when you film, try not to get the hallway so you don't see the hallway, you know?
00:04:23.880 Yeah, hallelujah.
00:04:25.480 It's a little messy.
00:04:27.100 Not too bad.
00:04:28.800 Wi-Fi's good.
00:04:29.380 Everything's good?
00:04:30.040 Yeah, everything's good.
00:04:30.620 You can blame CZ for that little audio problem.
00:04:32.100 That was a little bit of an aura loss.
00:04:33.240 I'm not going to lie, bro.
00:04:34.360 I'm not going to lie.
00:04:34.920 Where's the other mic?
00:04:35.940 I got it.
00:04:36.440 I got it.
00:04:36.740 The other mic for Mike.
00:04:37.460 Yeah.
00:04:38.140 I got it.
00:04:38.480 You just said, yeah.
00:04:39.960 Type shit.
00:04:44.520 I can see.
00:04:45.180 Oh, Chad, by the way, I'm dropping a video right after the stream.
00:04:51.280 Everybody, everybody go watch that.
00:04:52.620 Right after the stream, I'm dropping a video called 27 Club.
00:04:55.280 Been working on it for like two, three days.
00:04:56.800 It's good.
00:04:57.420 It's good.
00:04:58.040 Very, very good.
00:04:58.820 Eight out of ten.
00:04:59.380 Eight point five out of ten.
00:05:00.120 Maybe nine.
00:05:03.300 Okay, let me go grab them.
00:05:04.140 Let's just try not to film the hallway.
00:05:05.040 All right.
00:05:05.640 I don't want to get that.
00:05:16.080 Yeah, hallelujah.
00:05:17.420 You don't want to get the what?
00:05:18.100 I don't want to get that number.
00:05:19.220 Oh, yeah.
00:05:19.620 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:05:20.180 That's what I'm saying.
00:05:22.600 What up, Mike?
00:05:24.200 What up, brother?
00:05:24.920 How you doing, man?
00:05:25.500 What's up?
00:05:26.220 Good to see you, bro.
00:05:26.840 Welcome.
00:05:27.320 What's up, everybody?
00:05:28.520 Wait, is this IRL right now?
00:05:29.860 Yeah, we're live right now.
00:05:30.620 Oh, yo.
00:05:31.960 Wait.
00:05:32.640 They come on the balcony.
00:05:33.660 You want me to take my shoes off?
00:05:34.480 Oh, yeah, preferably.
00:05:35.380 I'll bet we can do it right here.
00:05:36.420 Because if I'm not on the stairs, I'll fall in.
00:05:38.200 Oh, shit.
00:05:39.100 Yo, we should, like, go out.
00:05:42.040 You're going on a bike ride?
00:05:42.920 Or that.
00:05:43.540 Or just, like, go walk around and talk to people.
00:05:45.440 I'm super down.
00:05:46.640 I'm super down.
00:05:47.060 That's my favorite thing to do.
00:05:47.940 Yeah, I brought you stuff.
00:05:50.220 I was going to do that, but you seemed like you were in a rush to get out of here.
00:05:52.320 But, yeah, I want to go walk around around.
00:05:53.980 There was some time.
00:05:54.480 Were you ready?
00:05:54.720 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:05:55.140 Yeah.
00:05:55.680 I brought you something.
00:05:56.800 Just one of the reasons I stopped.
00:05:57.940 Oh, here's your mic.
00:05:59.320 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:06:01.240 Welcome, bro.
00:06:02.500 That's what happened.
00:06:02.980 This is a wonderful spot, bro.
00:06:04.780 Thanks a lot.
00:06:05.540 Thanks a lot.
00:06:05.980 I've been here for, like, seven months.
00:06:07.100 I stopped real quick and got you something.
00:06:11.500 Just a second.
00:06:12.100 I didn't know if maybe you were hungry.
00:06:13.360 Is this a chicken Big Mac?
00:06:14.600 Bro.
00:06:18.180 I already know it is.
00:06:22.140 A chicken Big Mac, nigga?
00:06:25.500 I just didn't know if maybe if you wanted a bite to eat or something.
00:06:28.700 Because I stopped for myself and got a fish fillet.
00:06:30.900 Really?
00:06:31.500 Yeah.
00:06:32.980 The mic, man.
00:06:36.560 I appreciate that.
00:06:37.740 That's very thoughtful.
00:06:38.680 No problem.
00:06:38.940 Actually, that's very thoughtful of you.
00:06:39.940 I'm going to take a bite.
00:06:40.700 I got you.
00:06:41.220 Thank you.
00:06:41.840 Yeah.
00:06:42.400 Thank you.
00:06:46.160 A chicken Big Mac.
00:06:48.100 Thank you.
00:06:48.540 You know what?
00:06:48.980 I do appreciate that.
00:06:49.760 Yeah, you know, you don't have to eat all of it, bro.
00:06:52.260 You know?
00:06:52.660 Well, I was worried that you didn't want to, like, walk around and talk to people because,
00:06:55.580 like, oh, you need, like, three security guards.
00:06:56.920 I pulled up on mic.
00:06:57.460 No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:06:58.460 I saw him at the club at, like, 2 a.m. and he had, like, all these, like, big, like,
00:07:01.880 You think those were for me?
00:07:03.180 Those were for me?
00:07:03.920 Oh, yeah.
00:07:04.220 For L.P.
00:07:05.060 Yeah.
00:07:05.480 No, I roll around, bro.
00:07:06.440 I roll solo, bro.
00:07:07.540 I walk around.
00:07:08.160 I talk to people.
00:07:08.840 You take a train?
00:07:10.280 Subway.
00:07:10.740 I ride the bikes, bro.
00:07:11.720 I go to Central Park.
00:07:12.580 I meet people.
00:07:13.340 I just talk to, like, five people on the way over here.
00:07:14.980 So you like doing what I like doing?
00:07:16.100 Yeah.
00:07:16.480 I think it's the Connecticut and us, you know?
00:07:18.260 It's East Coast, and it's also, like, just, like, the realness and just, like, trying to,
00:07:22.260 like, stay connected to the people.
00:07:24.160 Like, it's just us, bro.
00:07:26.780 You know what I'm saying?
00:07:27.240 Yeah.
00:07:27.500 Best city on the planet.
00:07:28.560 Say what you want about New York City.
00:07:29.720 Let's go.
00:07:30.120 But it's alive.
00:07:30.940 It is.
00:07:31.440 You know?
00:07:31.800 Why don't you live here?
00:07:32.300 Why do you live in L.A. then?
00:07:34.420 Oh, I feel like I just, like, got kind of comfortable there, and I bought a house there, and then
00:07:40.580 I sold the crib.
00:07:42.100 I got an apartment now, and I just, like, thank you.
00:07:46.820 Well, I had to.
00:07:47.540 I haven't even told these stories yet, but I have some crazy stuff.
00:07:49.720 I'm excited.
00:07:50.460 So let's do, like.
00:07:51.160 I can't even tell them, to be honest.
00:07:52.640 All right.
00:07:53.000 Well, yeah, this is the crib.
00:07:54.020 Let me show you the balcony.
00:07:59.660 We've got to.
00:08:00.480 Obviously, please don't leak where we are, but, I mean.
00:08:02.260 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:08:03.540 How's it?
00:08:04.060 You can see it from up here if you want.
00:08:05.360 Bro, just see.
00:08:06.880 You won't fall, though.
00:08:08.200 No, you won't.
00:08:08.800 See, I clip farm it.
00:08:09.620 People think that I'm going to die by sitting on this, but there's a ledge that they can't
00:08:12.880 see, so it's a lot safer than they think.
00:08:16.420 Bro, you're really living, man.
00:08:17.740 Yeah, right?
00:08:18.440 You like it?
00:08:18.840 This is sick, yeah.
00:08:20.100 Thanks for coming.
00:08:21.020 No, this is sick.
00:08:22.360 Bro, this got to run.
00:08:24.280 How much does this cost?
00:08:25.520 Quite a bit.
00:08:26.180 I was going to say, bro.
00:08:27.060 Quite a bit.
00:08:27.360 You're spending money on this.
00:08:28.460 Yeah, and I have a crib in Miami, too, that I just sit in there and do nothing.
00:08:31.500 Yeah, I was going to ask you about that.
00:08:33.580 Brad had the same reaction as you.
00:08:35.000 He went in here and started analyzing my rent, like, how much I'm spending, you know, my finances.
00:08:38.960 You know, us creators are always pocket-watching.
00:08:41.380 That's true.
00:08:41.820 You know?
00:08:42.440 I don't really pocket-watch like that.
00:08:44.240 I just assume everyone is, like, five times richer than me.
00:08:46.540 No, I'm kidding.
00:08:47.140 I'm not.
00:08:47.440 I'm just curious.
00:08:48.000 I was just curious, just because mine's 11 a month in LA.
00:08:51.820 Okay.
00:08:52.400 Okay, you're honest about it.
00:08:53.460 All right.
00:08:53.600 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:08:54.100 I just talk about it.
00:08:55.040 Because I was at a house that I was paying $25,000 a month for.
00:08:59.580 I couldn't, truthfully, like, I've never talked about this before, but I couldn't maintain
00:09:03.400 security at the house.
00:09:05.080 I had some real, real nasty, like, life-altering situations go down there.
00:09:10.140 Yeah.
00:09:10.980 Did you talk about that yet?
00:09:12.200 Not.
00:09:12.500 I haven't, like, started sharing it yet, but it's just, like, PTSD type shit.
00:09:15.900 Oh, damn.
00:09:16.300 Like, nasty shit.
00:09:17.220 LA gets pretty, LA gets grimy, bro.
00:09:19.280 Gnarly, gnarly, bro.
00:09:19.700 Neon got robbed in LA.
00:09:20.600 Yeah.
00:09:20.960 I mean, I'm always ready.
00:09:22.460 You know what I'm saying?
00:09:23.140 Of course.
00:09:23.280 Which I was that time, too.
00:09:25.420 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:09:26.560 But it was nasty shit, bro.
00:09:28.480 And so, like...
00:09:29.060 How long ago was this?
00:09:29.820 Just, um, maybe, like, a year ago or something like that, but, um, I just, I just, now I'm
00:09:39.380 just, like, behind the elevator, behind the security guard, the key fob, the floor, you
00:09:43.160 know what I'm saying?
00:09:43.740 Yeah.
00:09:43.880 Like, it's just, it's just, LA's just, like, there's really no way, like, dude, people in
00:09:47.240 gated neighborhoods deal with it.
00:09:48.640 People, bro, I had 24-hour, I've never even talked about this before.
00:09:52.060 I had 24-hour security.
00:09:53.360 Yeah.
00:09:53.820 How much did that cost a month?
00:09:55.980 So much.
00:09:56.680 $8,000 a month?
00:09:57.200 And it still didn't stop.
00:09:58.520 Like, think about what I'm saying.
00:09:59.560 Oh, and you still got, okay, wow.
00:10:01.060 Which is crazy, bro, to imagine.
00:10:02.540 That's what I'm saying.
00:10:02.960 Because he was, because he was, at some point, I'll tell the whole story.
00:10:05.480 Wait, so you were almost there.
00:10:06.740 At some point, he was what?
00:10:07.360 No, because I want to, because I want to save it for some of my own shit.
00:10:09.600 Yeah, for some of my own shit.
00:10:10.900 No, but it's, like, give me, like, a little, like, preamble.
00:10:13.260 Well, that's pretty much it.
00:10:14.400 I mean, it's just, I just dealt with a lot of, like, issues there.
00:10:17.200 And there are, there's some crazy parts to the story that are just, like, so sick.
00:10:21.040 But, um, I just love being in an apartment.
00:10:23.140 I love being able to throw my shit on the ground, turn the lights off, and just dip.
00:10:26.860 You know what I'm saying?
00:10:27.460 And, like, not worry about, like, all the other stuff.
00:10:29.380 Plus, I don't have a family, so it's, like, L, you know, 40, unk, bro.
00:10:34.680 I'm getting it, too.
00:10:35.460 I'm about to be 27.
00:10:36.500 So I'm 30, you're 40.
00:10:37.920 Yeah.
00:10:38.300 We're getting up there.
00:10:39.320 We're, uh, well, if I'm unk, you're gramps.
00:10:41.940 I'm gramps, bro.
00:10:42.920 I mean, you know, I'm.
00:10:44.860 Well, how's it going with your girl?
00:10:46.400 Nah, we broke up a long time ago.
00:10:47.780 Damn.
00:10:48.280 I didn't know that, bro.
00:10:49.140 I'm sorry.
00:10:49.780 Yeah, we broke up a long time ago.
00:10:50.880 We had, uh, compatibility issues.
00:10:52.680 What does that mean?
00:10:53.140 You know, like, if you try to put, like, a, um, like, a PS2 game into, like, a PS5.
00:10:58.060 It doesn't work.
00:10:58.960 Type shit.
00:10:59.280 And it just, it doesn't work.
00:11:00.920 Well, you gotta, like, blow on the disc a little first.
00:11:02.320 Yeah, no, you can try all that shit.
00:11:03.840 Right.
00:11:04.100 But when there's, like, innate, like, incompatibilities, it's just not gonna work.
00:11:06.800 So you're saying, like, because that's a generational gap, PS2 and PS5.
00:11:09.480 Is that what you're alluding to?
00:11:10.280 I mean, to an extent.
00:11:11.500 Well, you know that.
00:11:12.140 Yeah, yeah.
00:11:12.540 There was an age gap there.
00:11:13.540 And it's, like, and that's kind of, like, what I'm exploring now is, like, how much does that really impact things?
00:11:18.300 And it seems so obvious, like, that someone that's, you know, a decade younger than you might not have the same life experience.
00:11:26.300 And it's, like, it's, like, all of the, like, pushing 40.
00:11:28.760 I actually tweeted about it today.
00:11:29.760 Like, I said, like, it's gonna be really, the funny joke is gonna be when all the pushing 40 crowd, when you see what they're doing, they're actually pushing 40.
00:11:37.340 When we're pushing 40?
00:11:38.140 No, when they're pushing 40.
00:11:39.160 Yeah.
00:11:39.440 Because right now they're just on Twitter all day leaving comments.
00:11:41.440 They're not working.
00:11:42.160 Yeah, yeah.
00:11:42.460 They're not building a life.
00:11:43.340 They're not learning life experience.
00:11:44.400 And all this stuff, everything you have and everything I have is all just life experience creating this for us.
00:11:49.620 Us learning, adjusting, maneuvering around obstacles.
00:11:52.880 You know what I'm saying?
00:11:53.700 And, yes, making the right connections and the right networking, sure.
00:11:57.280 But, like, you know what I'm saying?
00:11:58.660 But being able to, like, learn and adapt, that's what comes with age, bro.
00:12:02.420 Yeah.
00:12:02.720 You know?
00:12:03.260 So you're looking forward to the trolls getting a taste of their own medicine and becoming, like...
00:12:08.420 I don't want that for them.
00:12:09.700 It's gonna happen.
00:12:10.320 It's inevitable.
00:12:10.860 Bro, if you are online all day just tweeting at people, like, micro-judging people's lives and being parasocial, like, I promise you, there's no future in that.
00:12:19.660 You know what I'm saying?
00:12:19.900 It's getting worse, isn't it?
00:12:20.860 Like, you've been on content for a long time.
00:12:22.460 Like, it's ramped up since streaming, the parasocial.
00:12:25.540 Like, they know it's better than before.
00:12:26.920 I don't know how y'all do it.
00:12:27.220 I don't know how y'all...
00:12:27.860 Like, I'm so envious of you guys, like, and your ability to do it because I tried it for a year and it just...
00:12:33.660 What, streaming?
00:12:35.200 Yeah.
00:12:35.800 I did pretty good.
00:12:36.640 I mean, I would average, like, 6,000, 8,000.
00:12:38.420 Like, you know, it was decent.
00:12:40.300 It was a different world, a different environment.
00:12:42.320 But...
00:12:42.740 Why'd you stop?
00:12:43.200 Just because, bro, honestly, like, I don't...
00:12:46.080 I...
00:12:46.280 I'm not a...
00:12:48.160 I'm not like a...
00:12:49.320 I'm not like a content creator.
00:12:51.980 Like, I know that seems...
00:12:52.540 You are.
00:12:52.960 I know that seems counter to say, but let me explain what I mean by that.
00:12:57.040 I don't like...
00:12:57.920 There's no concept.
00:12:59.460 Like, I'm not...
00:13:00.240 Like, I'm gonna drive three trains and the last person off the train wins a million dollars into a hole and, you know, if you survive in a box long enough...
00:13:06.660 I don't do that.
00:13:07.480 Okay.
00:13:07.880 I just live life and happen to have a camera with me.
00:13:10.640 Fair.
00:13:10.980 Do you know what I'm saying?
00:13:11.640 Fair.
00:13:11.720 So, the trips, the girls, the...
00:13:13.060 So, you're not creating content, you're just...
00:13:15.000 Documenting.
00:13:15.760 Yeah, you're, like, an OG content creator.
00:13:17.360 I've got an OG YouTuber.
00:13:18.340 You're just documenting your life.
00:13:19.220 That's how it should be.
00:13:20.280 I love it.
00:13:20.980 I don't want...
00:13:21.480 People...
00:13:21.800 I watch your type of content.
00:13:22.740 I don't want someone putting their hand on the car for...
00:13:24.480 Yeah, yeah.
00:13:24.780 I don't do...
00:13:25.220 Someone blowing up someone's house with fireworks.
00:13:26.880 They're like, why don't you do that?
00:13:27.840 Like, I don't give...
00:13:28.640 I don't care.
00:13:29.280 That's not what I'm interested in.
00:13:31.020 It's funny to me, and I understand why...
00:13:33.180 I understand why, like, bro, I love watching Aiden.
00:13:36.340 He's hilarious to me.
00:13:37.620 Yeah.
00:13:37.840 His nephew, like, one of my favorite people to watch.
00:13:40.140 He starts so much trouble.
00:13:41.220 And the difference with Aiden...
00:13:43.260 Yeah, he's great.
00:13:43.880 ...is he's the most real.
00:13:45.820 Like, bro, he says whatever he wants to whoever he wants, whenever he wants.
00:13:50.020 Like, he doesn't filter anything.
00:13:51.700 He doesn't hold anything back.
00:13:53.360 And that's kind of admirable, but, like...
00:13:55.200 I was just talking to him, like, 10 minutes ago, and some of the stuff that he said on the
00:13:58.880 phone is stuff that I can't repeat on the street.
00:14:00.820 Bro, he's...
00:14:01.820 You know, wait, but I gotta ask you that.
00:14:03.340 What's your opinion on that, the whole Banks-Aiden situation?
00:14:06.300 Like, what...
00:14:07.220 There's a lot going on in Blackboard and Max left base.
00:14:09.820 It's been a crazy two-week, bro.
00:14:11.020 Like, I'm sure you...
00:14:11.800 And, like, I'm always, like, on the behind-the-scenes part of it.
00:14:16.160 So, like, I'm on all the calls.
00:14:17.520 I'm on with Aiden.
00:14:18.200 I'm on with Aiden.
00:14:18.300 Yeah, and the Chicken Big Mac.
00:14:19.260 I was talking to Todd.
00:14:19.940 Yeah, you were behind...
00:14:20.960 We're actually behind the scenes about a lot of this stuff.
00:14:23.380 People call me a lot for advice on these situations, and I'm like, how do you think
00:14:26.520 that I know?
00:14:26.940 Well, I'm...
00:14:27.940 See, this is, like, one of the things.
00:14:31.480 One of the things that really stresses me out about being in the industry is I feel very
00:14:34.680 misunderstood.
00:14:36.160 Like, and I know you can relate to that, too.
00:14:38.060 Like, I feel very misunderstood.
00:14:39.900 And that, like, upsets me a lot because...
00:14:42.620 That's fair.
00:14:42.900 Like, people don't...
00:14:45.360 Even with as parasocial as people are, like, they don't realize how much they don't get
00:14:50.060 what's going on.
00:14:51.960 Does that make sense?
00:14:52.720 Yeah.
00:14:52.860 Like, they think they have stuff figured out, and, like, they see the headlines, and they
00:14:56.900 read stuff on Twitter, and they see what's going on with Banks, and Aiden on Twitter,
00:14:59.600 and all this stuff.
00:15:00.200 But, like, you truly, truly...
00:15:02.040 Don't know.
00:15:02.780 ...can't compute and process, like, the reality of these situations, and how deep they are,
00:15:06.440 and how many people are involved, and just, like, teams, and gossip, and leak this, and
00:15:11.900 it's just...
00:15:12.460 It's really crazy, and, like, I've been...
00:15:14.380 I've been on that, like, Peacemaker fence-sitter.
00:15:18.520 Oh, shit!
00:15:19.420 Oh!
00:15:19.940 Let's go!
00:15:21.400 I got him!
00:15:21.960 You know why you brought me up?
00:15:22.660 I got him!
00:15:23.440 Right there where you belong.
00:15:24.340 You had me come here to sit on the fence, bro?
00:15:25.540 Right there where you belong.
00:15:26.480 Yeah, oh, wait.
00:15:27.020 Then I got to do it right, then.
00:15:28.460 Because this is how I would do it, bro.
00:15:30.520 Oh, my God.
00:15:31.120 I would straddle both sides of the issue.
00:15:32.820 Bomber-cloth.
00:15:33.840 But, no, but...
00:15:34.900 But, like, bro, like, I've been on that...
00:15:37.540 Yeah, yeah.
00:15:38.800 I've been on the Peacemaker shit for a long time, and, like, so when people have problems,
00:15:42.440 like, they'll hit me up to kind of, like...
00:15:44.280 Okay.
00:15:44.720 ...to, like, act as...
00:15:45.720 Yeah, I want to see them smooth it out.
00:15:46.840 I like Banks.
00:15:47.360 I like Aiden.
00:15:47.800 I want to make sure that they smooth it out, and...
00:15:50.800 Did you hear that Black Boy Max just left Aiden?
00:15:54.220 I just saw it right when I was getting on the...
00:15:55.100 Literally five minutes ago.
00:15:55.940 I haven't even talked to anybody yet.
00:15:57.720 Don't know.
00:15:58.900 I mean, it's wild right now, bro.
00:16:00.740 Do you like being, like, fence-sitting, I think a better word is, like, behind the scenes?
00:16:04.900 Is it...
00:16:05.900 No, because behind the scenes, I'm not as much, like, I'll tell somebody you're wrong.
00:16:10.120 Like, I know who fucked up in all these situations.
00:16:12.380 Yeah.
00:16:12.740 And I will say...
00:16:13.300 Do you want to sit at the table?
00:16:14.640 Yeah, we could sit.
00:16:15.120 Or we could go...
00:16:16.180 You want to go outside already?
00:16:17.360 Yeah, we could.
00:16:17.780 Well, whatever you want.
00:16:19.400 Let's sit for a little bit.
00:16:20.360 I want to...
00:16:21.420 I know we can get out of here.
00:16:23.040 There's a good area around here we could walk around.
00:16:24.580 You want water?
00:16:25.020 With, like, people and shit?
00:16:25.900 Yeah, yeah.
00:16:26.580 You can see them on the street.
00:16:27.700 Also, I do want to say this.
00:16:31.500 I think, like, on the fence-sitting thing...
00:16:35.040 Yeah.
00:16:35.840 As much as, like...
00:16:36.900 As much as we got into it about that, and, like, I see some...
00:16:40.440 Yeah, no, it's fun arguing with you.
00:16:41.660 Well, some substance there.
00:16:43.100 In reality, like, by way of my actions, you'll see that's not really the case.
00:16:46.220 Because, like, why would I be doing a sneak-off stream?
00:16:48.720 Yeah, no.
00:16:49.080 Do you know what I'm saying?
00:16:49.580 I was telling that.
00:16:50.300 Yeah, I was just saying that.
00:16:51.080 You don't benefit from this.
00:16:53.560 I'm doing this because...
00:16:54.440 It's fun.
00:16:55.660 That's one of the reasons, but the other reason is this.
00:16:59.660 Maybe 50, 60, who knows percent of the shit you say, I might not agree with you on.
00:17:03.600 Like, I don't know what the exact number is.
00:17:05.240 I don't know what takes I agree on or don't...
00:17:06.920 And that's not why I'm saying it.
00:17:08.440 But, like, you've never shown me anything but, like, love and respect in person.
00:17:12.860 I've never shown you anything but love and respect in person.
00:17:15.920 And when I tell you I'm not a content creator, I have a camera, that means that I go by what
00:17:21.360 I see in real life.
00:17:22.400 You know what I'm saying?
00:17:22.900 And so when I see you in real life, it's cool.
00:17:26.080 It's good.
00:17:26.820 You're from the same place as me.
00:17:28.340 You get along with the same type of environment as me.
00:17:31.300 I see you out.
00:17:32.340 You know how to manage the work, the rooms, and be in the rooms around the people.
00:17:36.700 So, like, the whole idea that, like, people are judged, like, completely by their body
00:17:41.500 of work only and what you say to get views and make money is just...
00:17:44.660 I don't know.
00:17:45.020 I don't really fuck with that very much.
00:17:46.220 I get what you're saying.
00:17:46.860 But, I mean, I did say this the other night.
00:17:48.260 Like, the envelope is being pushed pretty far.
00:17:50.360 Do you feel the pressure or do you feel the conversation shift?
00:17:54.660 Because, obviously, your podcast, the Impulsive podcast, is pretty...
00:17:57.900 You know, it's industry.
00:17:58.840 It's like...
00:17:59.160 Yep, yep, yep.
00:17:59.560 It's friendly.
00:18:00.440 You know, I would say it's rated PG.
00:18:02.940 13?
00:18:03.500 PG-13.
00:18:04.280 PG-13.
00:18:04.940 I would say, like, chicken shop date and stuff like that.
00:18:07.320 Like, there's a lot of stuff on the internet that's hot ones.
00:18:09.700 There's a lot of stuff that's way more, you know, PG than us.
00:18:13.800 You know what I'm saying?
00:18:14.180 We had Trump on and talked to him.
00:18:16.140 It was softballs, but, like...
00:18:17.960 Right, right.
00:18:18.380 It wasn't as softballs as the Netanyahu Nelfod.
00:18:20.400 That was pretty...
00:18:21.600 I don't know what sport that was.
00:18:22.960 Oh, oh.
00:18:24.280 We had...
00:18:24.880 We got the offer.
00:18:27.360 You were offered to do the Netanyahu.
00:18:28.780 How much money did they offer you?
00:18:29.840 No, it wasn't money.
00:18:30.880 Come on.
00:18:31.320 I swear to you it wasn't.
00:18:32.060 I swear to you it wasn't.
00:18:33.100 It wasn't money.
00:18:34.080 500K.
00:18:34.820 I swear to you it wasn't money.
00:18:35.840 I swear to God, bro.
00:18:36.840 It wasn't money.
00:18:37.460 It was just...
00:18:38.540 You have an opportunity to do a podcast that's going to get a tremendous amount of viewership.
00:18:41.980 Yeah.
00:18:42.340 And, like, for...
00:18:44.460 You made the right decision not doing it.
00:18:46.540 There's no gain.
00:18:48.180 Yeah.
00:18:48.800 No fucking shot, bro.
00:18:50.260 Like, seeing what...
00:18:51.320 And then as soon as theirs came out, and I was...
00:18:54.100 You were vindicated.
00:18:54.960 I was like...
00:18:57.160 Yeah, that was pretty bad.
00:18:58.500 I feel bad for them.
00:19:00.600 Maybe I shouldn't feel bad for them, but...
00:19:02.840 I mean, I feel like...
00:19:04.840 I feel like if you're going to do that show...
00:19:07.840 Be prepared?
00:19:09.640 Not even that, because truthfully, like, bro, the...
00:19:13.840 Say what you want about the situation, but, like, it...
00:19:17.020 No matter how you put it, there is some level of complexity to the situation.
00:19:20.360 I don't care how simple you want to make it.
00:19:21.700 There is some level of complexity to the situation.
00:19:23.520 That's fair.
00:19:23.920 And how it's going to be resolved.
00:19:24.820 Very fence-sitter answer, but...
00:19:26.060 No, no, no, no.
00:19:26.660 You're right there.
00:19:27.120 You're right there.
00:19:27.380 You're right there.
00:19:27.840 You're right there.
00:19:27.920 Have someone come on to be a part of it that truly understands the complexity.
00:19:34.340 I don't care if you sit me down for a month.
00:19:36.200 I'll never be able to really fluently understand and speak on this.
00:19:39.340 Bring someone from the other side, or someone that at least represents the other side.
00:19:43.200 He wouldn't do it, though.
00:19:43.920 Netanyahu doesn't want to debate anybody.
00:19:45.380 Who does Salim rep?
00:19:47.900 Salim, I don't...
00:19:49.160 He's Muslim.
00:19:50.160 He's from Sudan.
00:19:50.520 But you know what I'm saying?
00:19:51.240 At least make it like...
00:19:52.060 But at the same time, Salim's a good friend of mine.
00:19:53.640 He went and also kissed the wall.
00:19:55.060 He went to Tel Aviv, and he went to Israel.
00:19:56.880 He did the thing.
00:19:57.340 Got it.
00:19:57.740 I don't think he's equipped to have a debate or conversation about this issue.
00:20:00.120 Yeah, he doesn't have the info for it either.
00:20:02.440 No, no.
00:20:03.500 I don't really know what's...
00:20:05.120 I think he's there.
00:20:06.100 He's making contact.
00:20:07.160 What do you think about their attempt to rectify with the follow-up podcast?
00:20:14.680 They had me on.
00:20:15.600 They had Myron on.
00:20:16.480 They had Nick Fuentes, and they had Hassan Abbey.
00:20:18.200 And then afterwards, they did a podcast with Boston Music.
00:20:20.140 That's what I'm talking about.
00:20:21.160 Yeah.
00:20:21.340 And they said, like, stop infantilizing yourselves.
00:20:23.960 You're 30 fucking years old now.
00:20:26.080 I saw that.
00:20:26.680 That's a tough one to recover from.
00:20:29.740 I mean, there's...
00:20:31.460 Part of that is very true.
00:20:33.180 You know, you're not the Nelk boys anymore.
00:20:34.840 You maybe become the Nelk men.
00:20:36.360 The Nelk men.
00:20:36.980 Maybe it's time to be Nelk men after that podcast.
00:20:39.360 Yeah.
00:20:40.140 Graduate.
00:20:40.420 I think they did a good job, and I feel bad for them, because I don't know if they knew
00:20:44.920 what they expected.
00:20:45.640 They probably thought, like, yeah, this is a big podcast.
00:20:47.420 We have everybody on.
00:20:48.540 We're going to do it.
00:20:49.360 There's, like, a certain amount of responsibility that just, like, comes with it.
00:20:52.980 And, like, we...
00:20:53.480 To your point of, like...
00:20:54.780 I don't know if you call it fence-sitting or what, but, like, we had...
00:20:57.420 We had Kamala lined up as well when we did Trump, and we were supposed to do Kamala,
00:21:01.840 and then she did call her daddy and was just like, I'm not doing...
00:21:06.100 Oh, no, what it was was we had Trump on first, and then they were like, we don't want it.
00:21:09.920 She did a couple other podcasts.
00:21:12.780 You know that Subway interview podcast in New York?
00:21:14.680 Yeah, yeah.
00:21:14.960 She did that one, and it was so bad that they never published it.
00:21:17.440 They never put it out.
00:21:18.260 Because they didn't want to be responsible for her losing.
00:21:20.420 Yeah.
00:21:20.980 She wasn't good at the media tour, but...
00:21:24.260 She can't do pods, bro.
00:21:25.720 She needs, like, written stuff, but...
00:21:28.100 Who do you think's gonna...
00:21:29.640 Who do you think's gonna represent the damn side on...
00:21:33.320 I don't know.
00:21:33.900 It's gonna either be AOC, but she fucked up because...
00:21:37.580 I mean, I don't know what you think about her.
00:21:39.120 Bro, what do you think about her?
00:21:39.640 I think she's very pretty.
00:21:41.640 There's just...
00:21:42.240 I don't know, man.
00:21:43.080 There's just no way...
00:21:43.800 Like, I just don't understand why...
00:21:44.600 That's the one.
00:21:45.160 That's the one lined up.
00:21:46.100 Well, no, but what if they do Newsom?
00:21:48.960 Nah, he's too...
00:21:49.640 He's unlike too many people who dislike him.
00:21:52.420 Gavin Newsom?
00:21:53.020 Yeah, yeah.
00:21:53.460 I mean, I don't like him.
00:21:54.440 I don't know.
00:21:55.000 Everybody in California hates him.
00:21:56.320 Yeah.
00:21:56.520 Like, from my perspective.
00:21:57.260 You'd be surprised.
00:21:57.960 There's some people that still...
00:21:59.000 And, like, and sometimes when he does shit that, like, a lot of people like, he'll sway
00:22:03.640 some of the audience back.
00:22:04.720 Like, he was very, he was very, like, anti-ice on all the raids.
00:22:10.020 And, or at least was perceived to be, like...
00:22:13.060 No, not even.
00:22:13.780 He was.
00:22:14.260 He was, like, fully against Trump's, like, everything Trump was doing.
00:22:17.600 He was, like, protecting people.
00:22:20.720 You can say that's right, wrong, whatever.
00:22:22.180 He's gonna need a big brand revival.
00:22:24.480 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:22:25.480 AOC has it done properly.
00:22:27.300 Yeah.
00:22:27.760 What do you think of Trump so far?
00:22:30.060 How's he doing?
00:22:31.140 Bro, I'm gonna be honest with you, dude.
00:22:32.700 I, I, like...
00:22:34.240 It seems like...
00:22:37.240 It seems like people are getting pissed right now, bro.
00:22:40.660 Like, it seems like he's doing some stuff that's, like, like, this new thing with the,
00:22:43.960 um...
00:22:45.000 I don't, I don't...
00:22:45.720 Truthfully, I really don't understand it, but, like, if you don't, like, support...
00:22:48.640 Yeah, yesterday he said, if states are boycotting Israel, they're not gonna get disaster relief.
00:22:53.920 So, if there's a flood and you're not pro-Israel, you're not gonna...
00:22:58.040 You're just gonna drown, according to Trump.
00:23:02.260 That, that is...
00:23:03.220 How does that, how does that make any sense?
00:23:05.160 Like, like, what...
00:23:06.460 Isn't a boycott a private, private sector decision?
00:23:10.140 I don't even know how...
00:23:10.720 Like, like, think about what he's saying, like, it's state...
00:23:13.000 Do you know what I'm saying?
00:23:13.520 I've never heard that, yeah.
00:23:14.660 Like, how could a state...
00:23:16.600 Boycott Israel?
00:23:17.100 ...take part in a private, in a boycott that's a private sector boycott?
00:23:19.660 I'm not sure.
00:23:20.500 It doesn't make any sense.
00:23:21.440 And, like, and how do you, like, what's the metric for a big enough boycott to lose relief?
00:23:27.720 It's probably, like, a flex of power, because he did the same thing with Canada.
00:23:30.840 He said, Canada's now recognizing Palestine as a state.
00:23:33.520 It's gonna be very difficult to have a trade deal.
00:23:36.380 You know, I think he's just doing that to flex on everyone, like, you know, it's a bullying tactic.
00:23:40.240 Like, you should support Israel, or you're not gonna get money.
00:23:42.960 We're not gonna do deals, and they're not gonna work with you.
00:23:45.760 Bullying tactic.
00:23:46.500 It's just all, it's all fucked, bro.
00:23:48.300 I don't know.
00:23:48.960 I, like, truthfully, like, I don't know.
00:23:50.960 Do you think that, do you think that people that, like, not even fence it, but people that, like, kind of try their best to, like, work around this stuff the best they can,
00:24:03.380 and, like, do the help that they can, and make impacts that they can without delving into geopolitical theater are, like, irresponsible?
00:24:09.260 No, but it's, that's why I'm asking you this.
00:24:12.140 It's, like, impossible to not be somewhat involved.
00:24:15.420 Like, if you talk about this at all, in some way, someone's gonna be upset and say you're picking a side.
00:24:19.780 Yeah.
00:24:20.160 Like, Aiden yesterday said free Palestine, and then his family started saying, like, oh, you're siding with terrorists.
00:24:24.960 You know, his family, you know, like, it's just like, you can't even, you're gonna be involved if you have a microphone now.
00:24:31.660 Like, that's how far the envelope is being pushed.
00:24:33.460 Yeah, I don't care, I don't care about that.
00:24:34.800 Like, truthfully, bro, like, like, fence-sitting on decisions is not as palpable to me as is the fact that I love everyone, if that makes sense.
00:24:46.680 You know what I'm saying?
00:24:47.140 Like, dude, a good chunk, I got a good chunk of really, really good Israeli friends that are, like, the homies that would, that have done, bro, that have done, that have laid shit down for me,
00:24:58.420 that have put their life, their word, everything on, I've got a real good chunk of Muslim and Arab homies.
00:25:04.840 I know.
00:25:05.300 Tom Khan always speaks highly about you.
00:25:07.020 Bro, that I love, that would put their life down and protect me with their word.
00:25:11.620 I do business with Saudi, I do business, like, all the aspects of my life are multifaceted, and I, and so, like, for me, dude, like, it's really hard talking about issues that,
00:25:22.540 that even though it seems simple on the outside and in the headlines, really impact a lot of the people that I got love for.
00:25:28.280 The problem is, like, most Israelis I know hate Nanyahu, and they know that he's, they really dislike him, and they know that he's continuing the war because he wants to get re-elected.
00:25:38.380 Yeah.
00:25:38.720 And so as long as this conflict is going on, Nanyahu will stay in power.
00:25:42.080 I think he, like, 70% of Israelis find him unfavorable.
00:25:46.000 And I think they're pretty, I think they're pretty, they're pretty willing to talk about that, at least when I talk to them in private, they're, they're open about it.
00:25:52.900 You know what I'm saying?
00:25:53.580 Like, they'll say, like, dude, he's out of fucking control, like, whatever, you know what I'm saying?
00:25:57.520 It's just, I don't know, I wonder about it sometimes, I wonder, like, like, for me, if I could, if I could, I always skipped all this.
00:26:06.100 I could have, I could have leaned so far into all of it, bro, and really made a lane, like, for real.
00:26:10.720 It's not, it's not, I have no, I have no brand, like, dude, I don't even do brand deals anyway.
00:26:14.660 I do build businesses, like, I'm not worried about losing a brand because I'm talking about a topic.
00:26:18.300 You don't have Equity in Prime?
00:26:19.460 No.
00:26:20.120 Is that a joke?
00:26:20.980 Yeah, I know it is.
00:26:21.600 You know, I know you don't.
00:26:22.660 One thing I will say.
00:26:25.960 Oh, there you go.
00:26:27.880 Yeah, I have my box right there.
00:26:29.460 It's not from Tom.
00:26:30.080 Did you try it?
00:26:30.700 I didn't try it yet, no.
00:26:32.280 You got to try it.
00:26:32.700 Okay, I might as well.
00:26:33.700 And I like you try it.
00:26:34.720 And I like you try it.
00:26:35.360 Well, I'm not getting paid for this.
00:26:36.320 No, he's not.
00:26:37.100 He's not.
00:26:37.360 I'm not getting paid.
00:26:37.660 I wish I was, to be honest with you.
00:26:38.960 I mean, you, I would, we would do a deal.
00:26:40.580 I would do a deal.
00:26:41.260 I don't know if the company would say it, bro.
00:26:43.020 You have that in your pocket.
00:26:44.260 You're ready to, you're good at this stuff, bro.
00:26:45.560 He came up with a Chicken Big Mac and Breath Death biking over here on a city bike.
00:26:50.120 But really, but I like giving this to you because, specifically, because I know you'll
00:26:53.880 tell the truth.
00:26:54.860 That's the thing.
00:26:55.540 Like, that's one thing I know about you.
00:26:57.060 You're not going to sugarcoat it.
00:26:59.500 But, you want to see something crazy?
00:27:01.240 But this is kick, right?
00:27:02.860 Yeah, yeah.
00:27:03.480 Kick and party and rumble, yeah.
00:27:05.420 So you could do it.
00:27:06.460 Okay.
00:27:06.740 We can do whatever we want.
00:27:07.380 No, but look at this.
00:27:08.080 Look what this looks like, bro.
00:27:10.920 Meth?
00:27:11.700 Meth.
00:27:12.020 Like, it's crazy, actually.
00:27:13.660 It's kind of cracky, yeah.
00:27:15.520 This looks like crack.
00:27:16.460 Isn't that crazy, bro?
00:27:17.280 Is this crack?
00:27:18.080 No, it's not.
00:27:18.660 Are you joking to me?
00:27:19.220 I swear to you, it's not.
00:27:20.240 Dude, I got out of that a long time ago, bro.
00:27:23.860 So just putting it back.
00:27:24.640 Is this what you and LP were doing to the club?
00:27:25.820 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:27:27.520 That's why there's six security guards.
00:27:29.020 Okay.
00:27:29.840 Just pop it?
00:27:30.660 Do I swallow it?
00:27:31.200 No, no, no.
00:27:31.760 Just leave it on your tongue.
00:27:33.140 And then what?
00:27:33.660 Spit it out?
00:27:34.780 No.
00:27:35.500 No, just put it on your tongue.
00:27:36.600 You'll see what happens.
00:27:38.720 And just let it sit there.
00:27:39.500 Oh, shit.
00:27:42.020 But can I hear it?
00:27:45.840 It's loud.
00:27:49.280 It's pop rock.
00:27:50.260 Yeah, but so there's zinc-activated, all-natural pop rocks.
00:27:53.980 And the zinc actually cleans your mouth.
00:27:57.720 So you'll actually have better breath after you eat these?
00:28:00.700 Like, literally?
00:28:01.300 Look at that.
00:28:01.700 No, I swear to you.
00:28:02.420 Yeah, that was good.
00:28:02.620 Than you did before.
00:28:03.480 That was good.
00:28:03.840 Chat, I'm high as fuck.
00:28:09.800 It's the pure shit.
00:28:12.500 It's good.
00:28:13.360 Right?
00:28:14.040 Right?
00:28:14.340 Yeah.
00:28:14.580 It's good.
00:28:15.200 You keep it on and you pop some in.
00:28:17.620 You can share it.
00:28:18.940 I don't know.
00:28:19.360 Anyways, that's my plug.
00:28:20.940 Nice plug.
00:28:21.540 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:28:21.900 W plug.
00:28:23.020 You got equity in that for sure.
00:28:24.140 Yeah, that one I do.
00:28:24.620 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:28:25.020 I knew it.
00:28:26.160 All right, you want to go walk around?
00:28:27.360 I think so, bro.
00:28:28.240 Let's run it.
00:28:28.500 I think it would be fun.
00:28:30.200 And there's people and shit?
00:28:33.020 Yeah, I like how you had notes, bro.
00:28:35.340 That might have been more notes than...
00:28:36.720 We didn't touch...
00:28:37.660 That might be more notes than Nelk had for Netanyahu.
00:28:39.580 It is, actually.
00:28:40.660 I didn't ask you Burger King or McDonald's.
00:28:43.740 That was crazy.
00:28:44.600 That was the one that got them.
00:28:45.600 Burger King or McDonald's.
00:28:46.660 That was the one that got them, bro.
00:28:46.800 I was watching like, come on, bro.
00:28:48.360 That was the one that got them, bro.
00:28:49.580 Come on.
00:28:49.900 They're like, yo, Ben, you got Aura.
00:28:53.440 Obama's got Aura.
00:28:54.820 Ben, you got Riz?
00:28:57.120 Damn, this is sick, bro.
00:28:59.080 This is like your last...
00:29:00.080 Have you still been doing the...
00:29:01.580 Yeah, I'm about to post a vlog right now called 27 Club.
00:29:04.020 It's dropping right after the stream.
00:29:05.500 Everyone go run it up.
00:29:06.480 Very good.
00:29:07.460 We're on Twitter.
00:29:09.040 Yeah, right here.
00:29:09.700 On X.
00:29:10.000 On X, yeah.
00:29:10.620 This video here.
00:29:12.040 I don't want to...
00:29:12.860 Is it the same fisheye, like the whole...
00:29:15.160 Yeah, it's fisheye pretty much the whole time.
00:29:17.820 Yeah.
00:29:18.360 Oh, yeah.
00:29:18.780 What do you think about Team Water, Mr. Beast, and...
00:29:22.100 Wait, on this really quick, I texted you a little bit ago and said that I liked...
00:29:26.100 You didn't?
00:29:26.600 Yeah.
00:29:27.060 Oh, thanks, man.
00:29:27.660 No, I texted you.
00:29:28.500 You responded to it, but I said I liked the vlogs.
00:29:30.180 I got the project index cosine from my...
00:29:32.260 Well, I just think they're...
00:29:33.080 I think they're...
00:29:34.780 Bro, back on the note of you always being cool in person and shit, I just think people
00:29:42.540 have the opportunity to pivot.
00:29:43.920 And I saw you start to make, like, a little bit of a pivot out of that, like, really, like,
00:29:49.040 I'm going to say crazy shit.
00:29:50.300 Yeah, exactly.
00:29:51.600 And so...
00:29:52.000 Well, I don't know if it's crazy.
00:29:52.480 I've been vindicated about a lot of stuff, bro.
00:29:54.520 Like, people said I was crazy, crazy, crazy, this for the past three years, and then I
00:29:58.440 keep being right.
00:29:59.800 And then no one says, like, you were right.
00:30:01.980 Like, the Israel issue, like, more times, like, okay, actually, you got a fucking point
00:30:05.060 about that.
00:30:05.740 Chris and Mr. Beast, like, everyone's kind of quiet about that.
00:30:08.200 I was very vocal about that.
00:30:09.280 You're like, okay, what was the third one?
00:30:11.740 COVID, the vaccine, like, that was one I was like, really, people call me crazy, and they're
00:30:15.120 like, oh, shit, you're right.
00:30:16.000 But no one says anything, you know?
00:30:17.620 Like, at the time, I'm crazy, and then I'm right, and then everyone moves on.
00:30:20.740 Did it, like...
00:30:21.280 But I'm still banned.
00:30:22.060 Did it, like, stress you...
00:30:23.420 Did it, like, stress you out, like, living in that world?
00:30:27.360 Like, all the time?
00:30:28.200 Like, did it lessen your quality of life?
00:30:31.520 No.
00:30:32.440 No.
00:30:32.760 I mean, it required more mental energy, but...
00:30:36.760 Did it feel like you were achieving more, like, purpose and impact?
00:30:39.440 Yeah, like, when you see everyone is, like, delusional about something that you know is
00:30:42.720 really obvious, it's like, there's, like, movies about that.
00:30:47.080 Yeah, I knew that I'd be vindicated, so...
00:30:49.760 No, it was kind of draining sometimes, because you get a lot of haters, you get those, like,
00:30:53.420 soy boy documentaries, like, commentary piece, hit pieces, but everyone forgets about those.
00:30:58.400 But it's great, but it is great for viewership, like, discussing those type of topics.
00:31:02.040 I mean, dude, like, the type of stuff I do, and, like, it's, like, everything's drama now,
00:31:07.880 and just, like, I have my core audience, usually it's people that I've, like, helped with the
00:31:11.340 book, addiction, substance, some of them are just dudes that, like, hot chicks, you know
00:31:17.120 what I'm saying?
00:31:17.580 We all do.
00:31:18.380 Which I still do a lot of that content.
00:31:19.880 We all do.
00:31:20.640 You know?
00:31:20.760 I've tried to dial it back a little bit and add a little bit more substance, and, like,
00:31:23.860 even, like, when I, I just did this Ibiza vlog recently, and, like, went, brought, like,
00:31:28.760 13 girls from all over the, like, had a great time.
00:31:30.620 You went with Top, right?
00:31:31.600 Yeah, with Top is there, too.
00:31:32.700 I'll try to, like, make it a little bit more about travel.
00:31:35.340 Like, yo, this is what the city has to offer.
00:31:37.020 This is what food the city has to offer.
00:31:38.340 Yeah.
00:31:38.720 Bro, come on.
00:31:39.200 People aren't going to Ibiza to travel.
00:31:40.280 They go to parties.
00:31:41.180 You want to know there's really...
00:31:42.160 They go to do coke with Top and a yacht.
00:31:43.700 They're getting a massage, and they want to do blow with Top and a yacht.
00:31:46.740 Come on, man.
00:31:47.140 You want to know they have really good restaurants and stuff out there.
00:31:50.880 I swear to God.
00:31:52.080 There's an island there called Formentera, but I swear to you, dude.
00:31:54.980 I swear to you.
00:31:55.360 I believe you.
00:31:56.160 I swear to you, bro.
00:31:57.500 All right.
00:31:57.700 Let's get going.
00:31:58.180 I'm not playing.
00:31:58.760 I'm dead serious.
00:31:59.600 But do you think you see...
00:32:00.560 Steve's offered $2 million to YouTube.
00:32:03.160 To get his YouTube back.
00:32:03.980 Yeah.
00:32:04.160 Do you think...
00:32:05.700 Well, two questions.
00:32:06.400 One, is YouTube dying?
00:32:07.480 And two, should I...
00:32:08.480 Me and Steve, are we ever going to get on Ben?
00:32:11.140 We're cooked, right?
00:32:12.020 I saw a thing today, a tweet that was, like, about me.
00:32:17.140 Mr. Beast being, like, the only person left on the platform that anyone cares about.
00:32:20.880 Which I don't know if that's completely accurate.
00:32:22.820 Like, you've got...
00:32:23.500 You've got to understand the difference.
00:32:24.880 The difference between YouTube and streaming is that streamer...
00:32:29.920 Every big streamer is known.
00:32:32.280 Like, all the people that do 20,000, 30,000 plus concurrence are all known.
00:32:36.140 Everybody knows who they all are.
00:32:36.960 You don't think they're all botting?
00:32:37.860 Bro, sure they are.
00:32:39.300 Of course.
00:32:39.440 I think everybody bots.
00:32:40.420 I've never botted...
00:32:41.460 I swear...
00:32:41.920 I've never botted a single view of my life on any channel.
00:32:45.520 But I know who other YouTube botters are.
00:32:47.400 Oh, yeah.
00:32:47.820 You can bot on YouTube?
00:32:48.940 Yeah.
00:32:49.520 A hundred percent.
00:32:50.120 Really?
00:32:50.540 I could...
00:32:50.980 Bro.
00:32:52.420 Bro, there's a hundred percent.
00:32:54.100 Isn't that Yahoo botting?
00:32:56.300 Listen.
00:32:56.940 Listen.
00:32:58.300 What I'm saying is this.
00:33:00.460 On YouTube...
00:33:01.500 I didn't know that, Che.
00:33:02.320 Dude, on YouTube, there's niches of creators that you will never hear about that get more views
00:33:07.940 than anybody...
00:33:08.980 Like, there's so many sub-sectors of YouTube universe...
00:33:13.120 Yeah.
00:33:13.540 ...where, like, there'll be a big phishing channel.
00:33:16.240 There's a channel, like, Phishing with Norm.
00:33:18.760 Right.
00:33:19.140 You never heard about...
00:33:20.000 Bro, this dude will pull views, like...
00:33:21.360 Like, three million views.
00:33:22.020 Bro, every video.
00:33:23.300 You know?
00:33:23.580 Whistling Diesel.
00:33:24.960 Yeah.
00:33:25.220 Cody.
00:33:25.780 Bro, Cody...
00:33:26.680 Bro, Cody goes crazy.
00:33:28.060 He gets, like, seven to ten million views of video.
00:33:30.380 Didn't he leave YouTube or something?
00:33:31.480 No, he's still on.
00:33:32.440 He's still active?
00:33:32.940 Yeah.
00:33:33.280 Okay.
00:33:33.780 But do you know what I'm saying?
00:33:34.580 So, it's, like, as much as YouTube's dying, like, there's still...
00:33:36.560 So, it is dying.
00:33:37.120 Um...
00:33:37.640 I think...
00:33:38.520 Because it became too algorithm-focused and hand-on-the-car, you know, Orbeez.
00:33:43.660 It's...
00:33:44.060 Well, I felt that, for sure.
00:33:45.680 Okay.
00:33:46.080 All right.
00:33:46.380 So, I'm not alone in that.
00:33:47.980 Streaming took over.
00:33:49.820 Streaming runs the world now.
00:33:51.480 Okay.
00:33:52.580 All right.
00:33:53.060 For sure.
00:33:55.740 And...
00:33:56.140 Do you think I'll ever get unbanned?
00:33:59.720 Is it even a possibility?
00:34:01.780 And it doesn't seem like it matters.
00:34:02.680 Every day it matters.
00:34:03.720 It matters less much.
00:34:03.980 We flip it back on you.
00:34:04.460 Yeah.
00:34:04.920 Do you even care?
00:34:07.120 Sometimes, like, I say both.
00:34:10.080 Like, when I see the Team Water thing and I see Mr. Beast with Dan Clancy, the Twitch
00:34:13.620 CEO...
00:34:13.940 Oh, I saw you couldn't get on the call.
00:34:15.200 And I'm like...
00:34:15.760 No, I wasn't asking to get on the call, but I'm like, bro, like, it's right in front of
00:34:18.420 me.
00:34:18.580 The people that, like, have changed my life forever, they're right here on this call.
00:34:22.720 And it's so possible for me to be like, hey, like, why did I get banned?
00:34:26.020 Do you know why it sucks for you and Steve?
00:34:28.020 Yeah, why?
00:34:28.320 Because, because you guys actually love it.
00:34:32.460 Like, you guys actually, you love creating videos.
00:34:34.980 And so does Steve.
00:34:35.820 Shout out to Steve, by the way.
00:34:36.360 I'm doing it for free for, like, almost a year now.
00:34:38.220 Like, that's what I make money for.
00:34:39.580 I know that.
00:34:40.220 Yeah.
00:34:40.340 That's why it kind of sucks, bro, because there's a lot of people who are just out there, like,
00:34:43.220 creating these, like, really...
00:34:45.140 Drama slot videos.
00:34:47.080 Drama, like, or just, like, really simple, algorithmically boosted videos that get a ton
00:34:52.540 of views, but, like, they don't really care.
00:34:53.980 They just go do something else after the video.
00:34:56.040 Like, you love it.
00:34:57.180 Like, bro, I still edit all my videos.
00:34:59.920 Like, I go through all the footage of myself.
00:35:01.380 I sit there on the computer.
00:35:02.180 Everybody's like, what are you doing?
00:35:02.860 I'm like, I'm five hours, at least today, editing videos, editing, choosing this, choosing
00:35:06.240 that.
00:35:06.520 Like, I write all the subtitles.
00:35:07.780 I send everything to my editor because I truly love to sit after the product goes out
00:35:12.040 and be like, oh, this was a sick one.
00:35:14.260 You know what I'm saying?
00:35:14.720 I'm really happy with how this product came out.
00:35:17.000 You know?
00:35:17.260 So, like, I know you and I know Steve.
00:35:20.180 Like, Steve loves making YouTube videos.
00:35:22.780 And, like, honestly, I promise you, the day Steve got kicked off YouTube was, like, when
00:35:27.520 he started to, like...
00:35:29.100 Yeah, I know.
00:35:29.860 I hear that comparison.
00:35:31.220 I was doing it since 2013.
00:35:32.880 Yeah, you were early.
00:35:33.680 The majority of my life has been on that platform.
00:35:36.040 I grew up.
00:35:36.560 I went through puberty on YouTube, on that channel.
00:35:38.560 It was like a diary for...
00:35:40.020 So that was, like...
00:35:41.620 But, I mean, at the same time, though, you make a good point.
00:35:43.860 Like, why do you really care?
00:35:44.920 You can still make videos.
00:35:46.100 You're going to get more views.
00:35:48.100 Like, bro, when's the last time you went on Twitter, on X, and saw, like, somebody
00:35:51.000 posting, like, YouTube clips?
00:35:53.240 It's all streaming clips.
00:35:54.400 Yeah, you're right.
00:35:54.960 You know what I'm saying?
00:35:55.540 Like, nobody's like, yo, this part of their vlog was really sick.
00:35:57.800 That never happened.
00:35:58.500 My shit doesn't get clipped.
00:35:59.640 Yeah.
00:36:00.100 Yeah, unless I pay clippers to do it.
00:36:01.680 Right.
00:36:01.800 Like, no one's, like, looking for, like, they'll just go watch the vlog.
00:36:04.260 Uh-huh.
00:36:04.580 If they want to watch it, you know?
00:36:05.860 True.
00:36:05.960 So, yeah.
00:36:07.480 All right, let's head out of here.
00:36:09.320 I want to learn about these YouTube botters that did not know.
00:36:13.260 Dude, I swear to you you can do it, bro.
00:36:15.420 I swear to you.
00:36:17.740 Please don't leak where we are.
00:36:22.300 How far was the city bike?
00:36:24.760 Um, like, like, five minutes.
00:36:29.260 Don't film this package.
00:36:30.280 Fuck.
00:36:31.860 See, this is one of the other reasons why I hated streaming.
00:36:34.860 Yeah.
00:36:35.000 Because it's, like, you have to, like, hide everything.
00:36:36.980 Yeah.
00:36:37.120 Oh, yeah.
00:36:44.180 There's just evidence everywhere.
00:36:45.480 Why don't you just, when you're about to leave or whatever, why don't you just, like,
00:36:49.280 blank the, like, just.
00:36:50.880 Yeah, we do.
00:36:51.420 We do.
00:36:52.000 Just, like, do that now.
00:36:53.240 Also, uh, come on over to party.
00:36:54.860 We're going to cut kick and rumble.
00:36:58.540 Wait.
00:36:58.880 What do you do?
00:36:59.340 Uh, cut over, um, partway through I would send people to a party.
00:37:04.720 That's where I have my streaming deal.
