All right, guys, we are here in Dallas, Texas. We got Cassidy Campbell here today. Thanks for coming on, man. Yeah, appreciate it, man. Anytime. And we're on the love socks. Yeah, I'm going to fall asleep here. Yeah, for real. Shout out to love sock. But you've been filming some funny pranks lately. We were just talking about the Wes Watson one. Oh, yeah. Well, I did one like listening to his rants in the library. So, yeah, I'm working on doing a Wes Watson character as well. So you think he'll reach out to try to fight you?

I hope not, man. He's kind of scary. Yeah, he's got some prison time, so he's probably been in some scraps. Show me your fucking papers, you little bitch. What's trending in the prank world, I guess? Because I thought it honestly fell off. Basically just pissing people off, getting in front of them with the cameras. That's what I see the kids doing nowadays. Yeah, the live streamers.

Yeah, I mean, it's not even pranks. It's just like going out there. Like I said, getting people really pissed off because it's that instant reaction. You don't even have to like like think of really anything witty or be funny or build it up. You just go in there, get them triggered. You got your video and you're out viral. Yeah. Jack Doherty. Right.

Well, I guess he's one of them. Yeah, that guy just... I don't think anybody likes that guy, but... Yeah. It's like these kids are between probably 18 and, what, 22 years old. They're young kids, you know, and that's how they grow now. But pranks have changed so much because it used to be like hidden camera stuff mostly, and...

Now it's just the camera's out in the open. So I don't think that's a prank, really. If the camera's right there, the people know that these kids are trying to get some sort of YouTube video. They know it's not a prank. They know what's going on, basically. Yeah, so some of them will probably put on like a...

Face too, right? They just go as themselves. I remember those Pranks in the Hood videos. Oh, fake as hell. You think those are fake? Dude, so many of those were exposed back in the day. I remember I would watch these channels. They would expose fake pranks. And even some of the actors, they were in videos like Vitaly's and what Roman Atwood. They would come out and basically talk about how they're in the prank. Or they would just...

these people that would expose these channels would show how the people in these pranks are actors. And some of these people were, I guess, also in multiple pranks.

Yeah, that's interesting. From what I saw. I could see that. Yeah, I remember when Fousey exposed Vitality. There was that whole drama. And, you know, fake pranks get way more views or got way more views than real pranks. I mean, that's where the money was at. The gold digger ones. Dude, how do you fall for those? I guess when I was like, what?

Like early 20s, I saw some of those and I was like, oh man, I can't believe that. And then like shortly after I figured out it was a bunch of bull crap. Yeah. But yeah, fake pranks always make more. There's another one like Who Man TV. Every prank is the same thing. It's like,

fake shampoo prank gone wrong or whatever. It's like shampoo prank part 300. It's like he's at Venice Beach. You got the girls in the bikinis or you got like the muscle guy. He's like acting like he's showering. It's so fake. Like he's not even trying. Like it's so obvious he's acting like he's showering.

And then who man's over top of him pouring the shampoo and the guy's like, where's it coming from? That's a classic one. Oh, geez. I love like part 200 was really nice. But then it's like gold digger. Same thing. Part 300. And it's like,

oh, the girl doesn't want to talk to him. If you're hearing this and you're Rolls Royce, then Donald Trump's tax plan is for you. You're rich as hell. We're going to give you a tax cut? But for everyone else, there's Kamala Harris' plan. Under my plan, more than 100 million Americans will get a tax cut. Because that guy in the Ferrari doesn't need another break. But Kamala Harris knows you sure could use one.

Walking away and all of a sudden, and then she's obviously walking away too. He's going to his car. She's not even paying attention. She's walking the opposite direction all of a sudden. And obviously she's like dressed almost naked. And she just turns around and says, is that your car?

So you just randomly decide to turn around and say, is that your car? Yeah. Like really? That never happens. Yeah. People think it happens when they buy nice cars. No. I don't think it happens like that. You might get some looks. You'll get looks. But nobody's going to be like, yeah, is that yours? Can I go home with you? Yeah. A neck turn like 180. Women are, women like probably fearing for their lives. For real.

For real. These days, yeah, for sure. My girl won't even get in an Uber, man. She said there's some weird Uber drivers. Oh, dude, yeah, I've seen some too. I remember this one Uber driver. This is like not that long ago.

He was just sitting in his car listening to his own podcast. What? I've never listened to one of my episodes. Well, it wasn't even a podcast. It was just him talking and he's listening to it. Like, I guess he's trying to get me to kind of listen to it or something. No way. I mean, I could see that with music, but with a podcast?

He's promoting himself. And then because I was like, OK, let me see this. And I was just curious. I'm like, who is it? What is he listening to? Like because what he was listening to is just it sounded kind of goofy. So I went looked it up and he when he had like a thousand, maybe not even YouTube subscribers and

And, oh, it was him. I was like, oh, this is the same guy. He's listening to himself in there. One time I was in an Uber in Boston and I fell asleep on the way to the airport. I woke up in a parking lot. She was parked just running out the time to get more money, I guess. And that was weird. Like, what the hell? So I was in an Uber on the way to the airport. I fell asleep in the backseat. Okay. And I wake up and we're in a parking lot.

Oh, okay. I guess they get paid the longer you're in there. So she's trying to milk you. She was just trying to help me. Oh, okay. But it was weird. I didn't really know what to say when I woke up. Yeah, never. I was like, where am I? I try not to fall asleep in an Uber. Yeah, but I could definitely see it as a girl. Like, you know, if you get a first time driver, who knows what they'll do. Yeah. But as long as you look good to them, it's okay. Yeah. Yeah. Um,

So when you first started, what year was that? Well, I technically started doing like prank type videos around 2016. Obviously, some of the first videos I did, they, you know, got some hate and stuff because I was doing like fitness type stuff at first.

I initially wanted to do pranks, but I didn't have anybody to film for me. I didn't even know what camera equipment or anything like that to get because I've watched these pranks like in Las Vegas, like Epic 5 TV, Limitless, but both of them don't even do pranks anymore. Most people don't. That Limitless guy, his channel was just popping off. He just hit a million subscribers and he's like, I'm quitting YouTube. Wow. I'm like, do you know how much you missed out on?

Is that when pranks were kind of peaking though? Oh, dude. Yeah. He had at least a few good years left and he had just hit him. Like, dude, his channel is popping off, dude. Like he's getting like probably a million views every other video or some crazy number like that. But the algorithm was different like back then. No shorts back then. I feel like shorts. I heard you talking over there how they've lowered the views. They've just destroyed it.

TikTok's destroyed it because you got all these people from TikTok coming over to YouTube and they're producing those shorts as well. And it just gets so saturated. Now nobody even has an attention span anymore to watch that long form content. Not to mention, I mean, in like 2019, I saw that there was 12 million or so YouTube channels. Now there's between

Between 102 million YouTube channels Wow, so think about how saturated YouTube is there's way more competition It's just just the best 10 times the competition 10 times the attention span deficit And if you weed it out all these shorts dude, I guarantee you YouTube would look so much different right now and You think about this to a lot of the people that make short-form content? Nobody watches their long-form content

They wouldn't exist if it wasn't for short-form content. I spend more time on short-form content than long-form. Most people do. Yeah, because Reels, TikToks, YouTube Shorts, I watch all those. But the thing is, like, if you actually want to make money off your Reels, you're not going to make, you're going to make maybe pennies off Instagram. I'm getting 50 million views on Instagram and I'm getting like five bucks. It's like a joke. Same with TikTok, I'm getting like a couple hundred. Listen in.

Starbucks, it's a great day for coffee.

I did hear that. A friend of mine. Yeah, there's this girl, Adley, who I've had on the show. She used to make millions a month. And yeah, now it's down like 90%. Yeah. And then YouTube Shorts, per thousand views, it's like 20 cents. It's terrible because I've gotten 40 million on Shorts and...

I got nothing. Yeah, Alex Stein was telling me like some crazy low number he got for a really viral video. I think it had like 30 million or some number like that. I don't even think it made a thousand bucks. But my shorts, like I noticed per million views, I'm making around 300 bucks. Okay, that's actually higher than most people. Yeah, it's gone up or something because I remember I had like,

four million something views on a video short recently and it got like 1100 bucks so I was like okay that's not too bad but still I mean yeah you're one of the few guys left in your space I'd say you and the knock boys maybe I don't think they do well they just mostly like do podcasts now that yeah they kind of branched off but I feel like their main bread and butter at the time was like prank oh at the time yeah but I can't really think of anybody else who's doing like

hidden camera like that big dawes does he still do it not really the last time i seen him uh it was mostly like giveaways and stuff like that yeah he just shows up to people's houses now and gives them money yeah he buys their house he's like i'm gonna pay it no yeah how is that sustainable though like how is he profiting off that dude he has money and coming in from so many different ways like i dude for sure dude that guy's smart man that guy's he did it and he and he's smart that he started when he did too

So, yeah. Yeah. I feel like if you didn't turn your pranks into like a brand, making money just off the views is almost unsustainable. It's not sustainable. Yeah. That's why I'm working on doing some other things as well. But yeah,

Yeah, dude, and a lot of people I see, like, they'll blow up really fast, like, you know, but then they'll... I think if you blow up too quick, you're just not ready for it. You're not going to sustain it, so you're going to die out as fast as you blew up. You saw it with Fousey. Oh, dude. He blew up a couple times now. Yeah, he keeps blowing up, and then he'll do some thing where he just acts like a psychopath or whatever to get his name out there again. Yeah. Or he'll hang around these really famous people. That's what I see, like...

some of these people doing like, like they don't really do anything. They just like say, say you're up and coming, right? And you're just getting millions of views. You're a new sensation on the internet.

And then I just start hanging around you. People can be like, oh, I'm going to watch him just because he hangs around him. I mean, they're like leeches. Yeah, you see it every few months. They'll be like a sketch or a speed. Oh, yeah. You'll see the same people gravitate towards them. Dude, a hundred. Yeah, dude. And then for some reason, Bradley Martin's always hanging around. I don't know. He always gets stray shots. He's always with them. Bradley always gets even the knuckleheads always go out. Every single one. I mean, think about it. Every single famous person. Faze Banks, too.

Yeah, I mean, I haven't heard of that guy in a while. No, he'll be around them. He kind of was with Sketch. He's good at staying in the loop. He's actually bringing FaZe back. Have you been seeing their new streamers? I don't pay attention to that stuff. Yeah, they're getting views again. We'll see if he could make a revival with FaZe. I want to learn to do what he does, though. Hey, I'm not even knocking him. Like, he's smart, though. He knows how to get attention. For, like...

Yeah, exactly. So he obviously associates with the right people and stays relevant. So he gets, he knows how to monetize it too. That's the tricky part. Cause a lot of people, a lot of friends we have can get views. Yeah. Like that's, you could get millions of views, but can you make money off it? Yeah. A hundred percent. So yeah, not knocking the guy at all. It's smart what he's doing. So some people might be like, Oh, you're talking crap. It's like, no, I'm not. I just can't do the LA lifestyle, man. Like, Oh heck no. I'm from the East coast. Uh,

uh, West coast is not for me. Yeah, no, I like, I like it here. Actually. It's more family oriented and stuff like that. I would probably either live here or Arizona. Only problem is Arizona just gets too hot. Super hot. I heard it gets hot here though, too. Nothing like Arizona. Really dude. It's like this dry heat where you just can't even go outside. That's how Vegas is dude. Summers are brutal. It's the same thing almost. Yeah. It's literally the same thing. I'm like,

Couldn't do it. Yeah, I tried LA for a few months, but I actually like the South, dude. Yeah, I tried to get addicted to cigarettes, dude. I just couldn't do it. Like, I tried my hardest. Why? I'm just kidding. I saw that. You know, just to get, like, a laugh and kind of...

I guess making fun of these gurus, right? And there's this guy, Alex Hermosi. Yeah. And there's literally a video of him saying, yeah, I tried to get addicted to cigarettes, but I tried so hard, I just couldn't get addicted. I didn't see that one. Why would you, like, what do they think of this? You're not a fan of these financial gurus? I mean, there's some guys that are obviously legit, but it's like, dude, you're trying too hard. You just sound dumb. Yeah.

My thing is if they make more off the course or the coaching than their business, that's where I find issues. Yeah. So you're so rich, you need to sell me a course on how to get rich. That's where the issue is. Like if you're doing it on the side and making some side money, but your main business is still crushing it, that's fine.

Yeah. But some of these guys are making 95% of their income from their coaching or course. Yeah, exactly. So they're fraud. I think that's, yeah, fraudulent. Yeah, exactly. And then like a lot of the stuff is like when they say it, it's like, did you really need to make a video of this? Like it's like one video, he's like, do you want to know how to be broke?

don't do things that make money i'm like wow that's wild dude yeah wes is the hot one right now he's getting a lot of uh attention but he's somehow pulling in millions so shout out to yeah dude i think every time i see him his number changes yeah like last week it was like fuck it he's making what like 18 million and then it's like 30 million the next

Fuck, man. And then everybody's got fucking tits. You got to commend his his branding and marketing, though. Dude, honestly, because his in his message, obviously, there's a lot of stuff he says is true. But then some of the stuff I'm like, come on, dude, you're like the whole the whole thing about a lot of a lot of his message is just about materialistic stuff. Yeah. It's like, dude, you can have all the materialistic stuff and still be miserable.

Like, like, yeah. So it's like, don't spend your whole life just trying to get materialistic stuff. That's a never ending road. No matter how much money you'll ever get, that mindset will just, and just trying to please yourself. Cause at the end of the day, like, what are you trying to do? Get it all this materialistic stuff, make yourself happy, but it's not going to make you happy in the end of the day. Not long-term dude. I mean, I just want to be financially like,

comfortable uh we're financially free where I'm not oh I'm stressed about money how am I gonna pay this or how am I gonna pay that but then just living your life where you're just all about making money that's all you care about facts it's like dude what are you doing yeah that's where I think I'm almost there but yeah now like when I go out to eat I'm not looking at the bill like I used to freak out about that so get that shit away from me I don't want to see that bill more comfortable

You just hand them the card blindfolded. Yeah, that's how it should be. My first few years with my girlfriend, I would be pissed if we spent over $20, $30 on a meal. I was really worrying about finances. Yeah, dude. And that's how a lot of people live. And that messes up. That'll just mess up so many things in somebody's life. Finances is so important, dude. It is. But people aren't willing to have these conversations. And my family, we never did. So I think it's important to be honest. Yeah, dude, 100%.

Yeah, like, I like one thing he said was, like, you get one life to live, like, obviously here on this earth. So you get one life. So why are you going to be scared to do something? Like, why are you going to be scared to...

try to do something new or reach your goal or whatever it is. It's like you get one chance at it in this life. Absolutely. So what are you going to just be scared and just be the average Joe or whatever? And you see people dying with regrets and like all this pent up emotion. Their last regret was I didn't buy his coaching. No, I want to be on my deathbed. Like that was a good life. Yeah. Yeah. Like you did what you wanted to do. So it's like, just don't be scared. Don't be fearful of doing it.

Because it's like, I know we naturally obviously have just the fear of...

you know, trying new things or whatever. And we just have to just go to the fear, go towards the fear instead of running from it. I've been trying to conquer all mine. Yeah. I went cliff jumping in Jamaica. Well, not those though. No, I used to be afraid of heights. So I conquered that one. Public speaking was a big one. So I'm starting to speak now. Um, but shit, that one was tough to get over. It took me years. Yeah. Even podcasting. I was nervous. Like at first. So yeah, I just get used to it over time. Um,

And then, I mean, it just becomes natural. It's like driving a car. Yeah. What were your fears growing up? Dude, heights. Heights. Yeah. You still have it? Yeah, I'm not. Jump off a cliff, bro. Hell no. I'm good. I'm good. Honestly, as soon as you're off, like the hard part is just getting there. But once you're in it, in midair, it goes away. Yeah. It sounds like anything. Yeah. Yeah. I can look down a hundred feet now and be fine. Nothing. Nothing.

with no parachute i wouldn't skydive just because the risk to reward there i've heard horror stories it doesn't really seem worth it yeah yeah you can get paralyzed you could die like cliff jumping i mean you could probably break a bone but you're gonna survive you'd be a good dude yeah 40 feet it's not too bad yeah i don't really have it i used to be scared of the dark but i think i conquered that one yeah i just like

I guess you could say we're scared of just trying even new business ventures or whatever. Like, oh, what if it fails? Oh, I'm not going to be able to do it or whatever. It's like you don't even know.

You don't even know. And the thing is, like, just from what I've read and heard often is that, you know, the things that we're the things that we are scared of that are going to happen to us usually don't even happen. Usually not. Yeah, I saw that like 95 percent or something. So it's like, just do it.

Yeah, just do it, man. I used to be scared to go to events, to talk to girls, to do basic stuff. But the worst thing that will happen is. And if you do fail, guess what? You get another chance. Another chance. You learn a little bit and you move on. Exactly. You're going to know more and then you're going to be better the next time. Like I've had failed videos. Yeah. Everyone knows that. Exactly. And the thing is, it's like, dude, I have to make new videos every week.

Ooh, one failed video. Oh my gosh, people are talking shit. Whatever, dude. You're going to be loving me in the next one, so it's okay. You're going to be like, oh, this video is so funny. Next video, man. Man, this video sucks. And that's what I realized. People have such short attention spans that even if you get canceled these days, like how many times has Logan Paul been canceled? People forget about it.

I mean, so many times. There's another one this week with the lunch leaving. Did you see that? No. So him, Mr. Beast and KSI launched a Lunchable competitor and they're getting canceled for that right now. A Lunchable? Yeah. Did you eat those growing up, Lunchables? Oh, yeah, yeah. So they launched a Lunchable. And why'd they get canceled?

It's called Lunchly, and they're getting canceled because the ingredients are not healthy. There's a Prime inside. There's a Feastable chocolate bar inside. Prime? Prime the drink. Oh, yeah. Like a mini version. And then a chocolate bar, Mr. Beast, and then like processed meat or whatever. Wow, that sounds good, dude. Chocolate, processed meat, and Prime. So people are getting pissed because they're marketing it to kids. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, what are you surprised? So some YouTuber that's been around for mad long, his name's like DanTTDM or something. Yeah, I didn't know him either, but he made a video and yeah, they're getting roasted right now. I never thought Mr. Beast would get under this much fire. Yeah, he's not doing too well. It's been a rough year for him. Hey, that's what happens when you get that big.

It's almost inevitable. The spotlight's on you. People are literally just waiting for you to just fail. 100%. I think everyone at this point is fair game. There's no...

If Logan Paul can come back that many times and people just totally forget, because I remember the suicide forest thing. Oh, it's over for him. It's over. And then he makes a fake apology and people are still roasting him. But then it's obviously all good. People forgot about it and they think he's like a good person. I remember when the what I remember in 2020, like,

the whole racism thing and stuff like that. Logan Paul's out there. He's like, it's not enough to be not racist. You need to be anti-racist. I'm just like, bro, just fall in line. Yeah. I feel like that forest one was the start of cancel culture. Yeah. After that, there was just so many more. Yeah. I feel like when,

Trump came into office in 2016, it just kind of slowly got worse and worse. And then by 2020, we were like, it got bad. There was like one every day. Shane Dawson, Jeffree Star, Kanye. Yeah, all the time. Yeah, all the weirdos. Now I feel like it's not as bad.

I feel like cancel culture kind of died off a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. I haven't heard anything other than what you just told me. The lunch. Yeah. Looking at that one. Cause I haven't really paid attention. I mean, you got kids now. So yeah, you got all these parents like kind of pissed that like prime is being sold to them and then they find out it's not healthy. Yeah. Cause at one point I was drinking prime. You were, I mean, I thought it tasted good. It does taste pretty good. I'm not even going to realize is a freaking rip off. And not to mention, uh,

um i could get other drinks that were way better yeah i just started drinking um what's it um these electrolytes by it's called extend they make like bcas and stuff extend and then there's one by bear nutrition these electrolytes are way better than prime i started drinking electrolytes last month might feel way better yeah yeah and then because because if you just you got to look at the ingredients too like this

in there, especially like the sodium. Yeah. And if you compare like the extend to prime, prime probably looks like dog shit. Probably. If you can't pronounce half the ingredients in a drink, you probably shouldn't be drinking it. Yeah. Would you ever launch a product? No, no. Too much work? Not too much work. I just have other things I'm working on. Not like an actual product, but actual like...

business and stuff you keep that kind of private or do you oh yeah i haven't you haven't disclosed any of it no i'm not going to oh you're not you're gonna keep that separate from yeah that's nothing to do with me like interesting yeah some people kind of showcase everything but you have a different approach yeah i mean there's no need to so i feel that i think i was thinking about one thing i was thinking about doing was like uh you know i make fun of people that have like obviously courses where they scam people and stuff but like uh

like a course that's legit to show people how to help them grow their YouTube channel, stuff like that. - Graham Stephan was one of those. - Like, yeah, it's funny. I used to talk to that guy and then he kind of got really big

And then he doesn't talk to me anymore. He doesn't respond to me anymore. Yeah, he's actually in Vegas, too. Hey, bro, got too big, bro. Doesn't know me anymore because he was a fan of my channel. Oh, he was. And then he just totally forgot I existed, I guess. The fame gets to the head. But anyways, Graham Stephanie, if you're watching, message me, baby. Yeah, I used to actually, like, talk to him pretty often. How deep was it? No, I'm just kidding. Late night talks. No, I was going to say, like, he had just a course on...

how to help people grow their channels and like a camera equipment to use like techniques that could help them and stuff like that because dude I'm getting I always get people asking me what equipment to use how do you do this how do you do that or just you know things that could help people actionable course and obviously a reasonable price too because I see these people just ripping people off I've seen courses for like 5k dang bro I think I need to charge 10 yeah there's probably one for 10k

It's crazy. And I wonder like what's in it. Probably most of you can find on YouTube if we're being honest. Yeah. The thing is too, sometimes people just don't want to go through all that. Have to look for it all. They make it easier. It's easier if you just do that. But yeah, it has to be affordable because it's like, dude, somebody who's trying to grow a YouTube channel. Do you think that person has that much money? No, YouTubers are...

One of the highest. I'm not going to charge somebody all this money, like thousands of dollars for something. It's like they're obviously trying to start a YouTube channel so they can make money. Side money. Yeah. Yeah. I'd be curious the average income from like a YouTuber. Yeah. It's got to be low.

Maybe like 5,000. I don't know. If you average all the creators, there'd probably need to be a minimum video upload requirement because then it'd be super low, but it's not, I don't think it's that high. Yeah. You know, unfortunately. Yeah. Like just from somebody who does YouTube? Yeah. I mean, it depends. There's some that make a lot of money, dude. Still? Dude, yeah. Yeah.

Dude, heck yeah, dude. Like, I'm talking, there's YouTubers probably that make hundreds of thousands of dollars off revenue. Mr. Beast. But I'm talking like people that aren't even near as big as Mr. Beast.

Like, and it also, one of the things is the factors is like the genre of your content. If you make videos about like cars or like finance, dude, you're going to make more ad revenue. Yeah. Those are like $10 to $15 CPMs, right? Yeah. So you're going to make more money versus probably someone like me. But I mean, if, if I was making like cars,

If I was making 10, what, say I made 10 million views off of long form content, shoot, I probably would have got like 30K, 30 to 40K. That's actually pretty good. Yeah. And you're doing 10 million a year, right? No. So I went last month. I got like shit. What was it?

with shorts and everything like about 20 million views oh wow but that's what short oh so i made like 12k oh got it that's still six figure a year yeah income but still it's like and i'm having to like really grind right you're out there and i'm putting shorts out every day i'm putting multiple like one typically at least one video every single week so it's not like i'm just like oh i'm gonna put out two videos a month

Right. Yeah, but you see a lot of people, they'll put out one or...

Between one and three videos a month, that's it for the whole month. And, dude, if they're getting a million, two million views a video, dude, they're set. Yeah. They're getting like 10. For that million view video, they're getting 10 to 20 grand. That's nuts. Yeah, that Mark Rober guy, I think, does one video a month, but he crushes it. Yeah. Is the editing like crazy or? Crazy. Like over 10 million views on each one. So, yeah, he's killing it. Yeah, exactly. You haven't seen him? He's the one that does the porch pranks. He'll leave like a...

like he goes after people that steal packages i've seen stuff like that but yeah i probably haven't seen him and then he'll put a hidden camera in the package so when the guy steals it fart spray okay yeah it's hilarious yeah yeah but these days you gotta be kind of unique like that to pull views yeah dude you gotta like think of new stuff i'm gonna start like doing tick-tock trends as like different characters i do so do like my wangsta character with a do-rag and stuff like

do these little trends. There's one where people would like POV or something that's like, or what it's like, Oh, a single mom of five cooking for their kids. But it's going to be like a single dad of 13 kids cooking for his cooking form or something like that. And then like,

I'm just cooking like food that looks like crap, just cheap ass food. And then like in the middle of cooking, you hear like a bunch of screaming babies in the background. Hey, shut your ass up. Trying to cook. And I just go in and you just hear screaming. I love it. Yeah, those cooking videos are too good, man. Film yourself crying while cooking. Like I've seen like girls, like they'll be like doing something like cooking in the kitchen. Then they're just...

Like trying to get sympathy from people. That's wild. I mean, I would never purposely cry on camera. Women, bro. I just feel like, like if it happens, it happens, but I'm not going to go out of my way and cry on camera, you know?

and get attention you know me simps are out there dude a lot yeah sam's and oh my gosh because i've had a couple uh of girls on the show and oh no they tell me about how their boyfriends watch them have sex i'm like what that is crazy how do you enjoy that because they're there's some like childhood trauma there i think for them to think that way dude yeah that's just weird man like i

Couldn't allow that, dude. I'm out, dude. Yeah, you got two kids, man. Congrats. Yeah, thanks, man. That's a big milestone. Yeah, it's a lot of work, too. I bet, yeah. Everybody's a good dad until they have kids. They're like, man, I watch my niece and I do such a good job. I'm like, dude, you literally watch your niece for a little bit. You don't even have kids. You don't watch them all day long. You don't even...

have to deal with their tantrums and their whining and crying, you know, dude, everything that goes with it. It's a full-time job, right? Dude, yes. It is so much damn work, dude. You got two full-time jobs now. Uh, basically. It's tough, man. Yeah. 80 hours a week right there.

That's the one thing, and I know that. That's why I haven't had kids strategically yet, to be honest, because I'm so focused on grinding right now. I want to build up a safety net because I see a lot of my friends living paycheck to paycheck with kids, and it's so stressful. Having the kid kind of makes you want to work harder, though. I've heard that, too. It does. It forces you to not be lazy and change. Yeah. So that's a good thing, but yeah, just get where you think you need to be, then...

When you're ready, have the kid. Don't wait until you're like 40, though.

Yeah, some people wait a while, man. Even 50, I've heard. 60. Yeah, they're waiting for the perfect moment. Yeah, because then you can't even do activities with your kids if you're that old. Yeah, right. Like, I want to go to their sports games and practice with them and stuff. Yeah, dude, exactly. Yeah. Well, dude, it's been fun.
