#173 - The Most Personal Thing I Could Share: Who I Subscribe To · Brandon Fogal Evolution

0:00
So today we are going to get into who do I subscribe to and who do you follow?
0:06
What is the psychology between who you follow and who you are as a person?
0:11
All right, we're going to look at this. I'm divulging, you know,
0:14
something very personal. You know, I guess some people can get out there.
0:17
YouTube, you can't see sometimes who people follow, but I'm going to,
0:20
I wanted to talk about this because it's very interesting.
0:24
Why do people follow certain people or subscribe to certain people as opposed
0:28
to others? because we're all different.
0:30
What is it that drives you to subscribe to the person that you subscribe to
0:34
or follow the person you follow?
0:36
We're going to look at this. First of all,
0:38
I want to show you this at podcaststudios.store. You should check it out.
0:41
It's either in the description or it's on my channel, so you can go check it out there.
0:45
But I just wanted to throw that out there. Let's dive into who are my subscriptions.
0:50
And also, who do you subscribe to?
0:54
Because who you subscribe to, it, I wanted to throw this out there,
0:59
the dynamic, the change in my perception and mindset of who I'm following.
1:05
Do I follow just everybody I run across?
1:07
No, I don't. I'm sure you don't either, but we're going to dive into it from my side. Here we go.
1:13
This is my YouTube, who I subscribe to on the YouTube side.
1:17
And I, this is something recently, probably about a week or two ago,
1:21
I used to subscribe to so many different people, but I got to the point where
1:25
I'm like, if I can't, if I, I almost, the test is I, I have to subscribe to this person.
1:32
Otherwise I'm not going to be happy. You know, I became, I guess a lot more
1:36
critical with the people I subscribe to, as opposed to just everyone, everyone.
1:41
If I cannot like go without subscribing to them, I don't.
1:45
And I, I unfollowed, I am subscribed a lot of people And I don't know,
1:48
it's kind of, it's a little bit therapeutic. You know, you want to like get
1:52
more close knit to the people you want to follow and you're interested in most,
1:56
but this is my YouTube who I follow on YouTube.
1:59
And this is an alphabetical order. So that it's not that the top one is the
2:02
like better than the bottom ones or anything like that. This is just alphabetical order.
2:06
Alex O'Connor, Andrew Russo.
2:10
Ben Shapiro. Andrew Russo, I wanted to say something about him.
2:13
He is the funniest man on the planet, if you're not familiar with him.
2:17
And we're going to go through my YouTube subscriptions, my ex-following, TikTok, and Instagram.
2:24
And there's a difference in each of them on why I subscribe to certain people
2:28
in some context, but not in another.
2:31
And I'm sure it's the same for you as well. On every platform,
2:35
you have a different vibe, a different feeling you're going for when you go
2:40
there, what are you looking for?
2:41
And, but you will, there is a lot of crossover and who I follow on YouTube as
2:46
well as on X and Instagram.
2:49
All right. I want to go through down these Ben Shapiro. I, I,
2:53
I used to follow tons and tons of people.
2:56
One of the kind of the, the things that I, I, I, if I follow somebody,
3:00
I know personally, I've tried not to cut any of those people out.
3:05
I've tried to stay with those. If I personally know someone, they're there to stay.
3:10
I'm not going to let go of the people that I know personally in this world,
3:13
but I've been a lot more critical on the people that are out in the open,
3:17
public people that I want to have in my life.
3:21
And I'm just kind of offering this for everyone.
3:24
It's a good feeling when you kind of just kind of cut ties with some people,
3:27
you're going to still see them.
3:28
They're not going to evaporate or vanish off the planet just because you stop
3:33
subscribing to them or stop following them.
3:36
They're still going to be out there. They're going to be putting your for you
3:39
page if you're still interested in their stuff.
3:41
But it's just like it just feels good to I follow people and I've subscribed
3:45
to people that I really feel a tie to and I want them in my life.
3:49
I want I cannot go without subscribing to them, if that makes sense.
3:52
Ben Shapiro, Bless God Studios, videos, Caleb Francis.
3:56
This is guy. I mean, he's, I, I found him on Tik TOK and I follow him on Tik.
4:00
That's kind of where I discovered some of these people, but this isn't the guy
4:03
that's like, I mean, he's not like a Ben Shapiro or a Charlie Kirk and thing
4:08
like that, but he's, he's hilarious.
4:10
He's really down to earth. He's really funny. He does so many videos that are hilarious.
4:15
And I, and he goes live a lot of times. He's a gamer as well.
4:18
Uh, capturing Christianity, entity.
4:21
His name, Cameron Bertuzzi, he's a Christian, recently became Roman Catholic.
4:26
Charlie Kirk, Club Random Podcast. That's Bill Maher's show. Donald Trump.
4:33
Eminem, Flagrant, Fox News, Jordan B. Peterson, Joe Rogan Clips.
4:39
I think I'm very tied to Joe Rogan as in like, I love Joe Rogan.
4:45
So having something like an offshoot of what his creativity and people out there
4:50
that compile his videos, I stuck with it.
4:54
I would just like for anyone out there, just if you're wanting to do this and
4:58
you wanted to cut down and just, it does feel good. you can go through it over and over.
5:02
You can clean that, you know, filter through who you're following, who you're subbing to.
5:06
And just, it's not, you're not marrying them. You're not, you're not,
5:10
you know, being to betrothed or wed to somebody, you know, you could follow them.
5:14
You could stop, you know, it's, but it's just, I do think it is nice to really
5:19
hone in on the people that you really just, and it's not even people that you
5:22
necessarily are always watching, but it's somebody you feel a connection with.
5:28
That's where I find it. Like the subbing and following, It's like you really,
5:32
there's a reason there's a story behind every follow behind every subscription Jubilee.
5:38
I just like a lot of their stuff. I'm decided to follow them. You know, Julian Dory.
5:43
I've watched him. I found him. I think when Alex O'Connor went on his show and
5:48
Julian Dory, I comment on a lot of videos.
5:53
The only, like I have a huge creator, a huge podcaster that's out there.
5:58
He has been the only one that I've seen that has
6:01
responded or I don't know I don't
6:04
know what it did but it like gave me like an emblem because something
6:07
I wrote on one of his videos I commented and he hearted it or did something
6:11
but it like it went into my trophy case or something like that in YouTube it's
6:15
kind of weird to say but just based on that which goes to show you just that
6:20
if you have an audience out there the people that you are reaching you feel
6:23
you want to build camaraderie with,
6:26
you want to build relationship with life with, you know,
6:29
going the extra mile of just commenting and responding to what they're saying,
6:33
hearting their messages, liking them,
6:35
liking what they're saying, you know, and just dialoguing, going back and forth.
6:39
Him doing that, which I don't know too much about him. I've seen a few of his podcasts.
6:44
I like it a lot, but just him doing that gave me that instant connection where I'm like,
6:50
All these other guys that I might watch more, but Julian Dory,
6:53
him hearting my message, something that I said was really cool.
6:57
Michael Knowles, Mr. Beast, Ninja, Ninja.
7:01
Padcast Studios, that is our business.
7:04
You can see that at Padcast Studios. Podbean, that is who I run our podcast through.
7:09
We have different podcasts out there and who we run them through is the RSS
7:14
feed of Podbean there, the hosting site.
7:17
And then Joe Rogan himself, powerful.
7:20
JRE, the Joe Rogan experience. Real time with Bill Maher. You can see it.
7:25
So that is two Bill Maher's right there.
7:27
Two Bill Maher's because we saw Club Random earlier.
7:29
And we got Ruslan, KD. He's a Christian out there.
7:33
Just overall good guy. And his business is Bless God Studios.
7:37
And then a diary of a CEO. I love that podcast.
7:41
There is so much good stuff on that. Steven Bartlett is the guy who does that.
7:45
It's very unique. It's grown to over 10 million subscribers.
7:50
And that is that is big. I mean, just when you think of it, we think Joe Rogan himself has 20 million.
7:56
I mean, that's a lot. But to me, it seems like how does Mr.
8:00
Beast have almost half a billion and Joe Rogan has 20 million?
8:04
I mean, it's maybe apples and oranges.
8:07
Mr. Beast is playing worldwide game.
8:09
It seems like Joe Rogan is more targeting within the United States.
8:13
And a lot of people, It doesn't, a lot of times subscribers,
8:17
followers, it becomes just a vanity metric, you know, unless you are really
8:22
trying to drive community and be in touch with the people that follow you, that subscribe to you.
8:27
It is just a vanity metric because I think of Joe Rogan himself,
8:31
like he doesn't look at his comments.
8:33
He always says over and over, I stay out of the comments. And me personally,
8:37
I try, I don't, a lot of times I don't feel good if I read through the comments.
8:42
A lot of the times, if I see comments coming through, if it's right in front
8:45
of me, I'll read it, you know, but a lot of times.
8:48
It's, there's a better percent chance that I'm going to come away feeling like
8:52
crap reading through comments as opposed to feeling good.
8:55
If I see something nice, I do want to respond and say something to somebody
8:58
that puts anything in there, but usually the bad comments just overrule and
9:02
they can leave you in a lot worse position of feeling and emotionally than the
9:07
good comments that are out there.
9:08
It's like sports. It's like sports. It's like in sports, the losses hurt so
9:13
much more than the winning feels good.
9:16
I firmly believe that. I say it all the time. It's the God's honest truth.
9:21
You could win 20 Super Bowls in a row. You lose the next one.
9:26
That loss will just drive you crazy and make you feel like crap.
9:32
I can't talk. It'll make you feel like crap that you'll forget all of those 20 Super Bowls before.
9:40
That's what I feel like. You could go on the longest streak of winning,
9:44
but just that one loss hurts like hell.
9:46
Then we get to Tim Poole, Tim Cast, Tim Cast IRL. You can see I was,
9:51
I was in the mood for Tim, Tim Poole right there.
9:53
He's, and that's, he's got three channels, three different channels.
9:57
So this was probably his personal one, Tim Poole.
9:59
I mean, when you be in like, when you become in like YouTube or any entertainment,
10:04
it's no longer about personal or whatever.
10:06
It's like, you are a business. You are a businessman.
10:09
It's not, oh, I'm personal over here and I'm business over here.
10:12
You know, it's the lines cross and they mix and they go together.
10:18
But so he's got Tim Pool, Timcast News, and then Timcast IRL.
10:22
The IRL is in real life. That's what his biggest channel right there.
10:26
And that's what he runs his, that 8 p.m.
10:28
Eastern sit down with the whole group of people that he has every night,
10:32
uh, Monday through Friday, but the Tim pool and Tim cast news,
10:36
like it seems like he uses them for different reasons and why he, why he does it, you know,
10:41
throughout the day, a lot of it is that Tim cast news.
10:44
And then on certain things he chooses to do the Tim cast.
10:48
But, uh, I would say this, it seems like for me, I don't know if I was kind
10:52
of influenced and that's what this is all is.
10:54
It's just like, you're, you're driving to create an audience,
10:59
create people that are of like-mind who you want to be in connection with.
11:03
And that's what, Tim Pool was a huge influence on me.
11:08
Joe Rogan was a huge influence on me and doing what I am doing now, you know?
11:12
I'm obviously not to that level, but it's still, they are those people that
11:18
probably don't even, they would never know my name, but like they have had an
11:22
impact on my life, you know?
11:24
And that's why if you are in this space, if you're creating stuff,
11:26
which I highly encourage everyone out there to be doing, especially as we get
11:31
in more to everything is AI.
11:33
AI is going to be doing everything, but having something where you're creating
11:38
and producing just your, the content, which is your life and what you have to
11:42
offer, because it is helpful.
11:44
It is beneficial to everyone, you know, and doing that sooner rather than later,
11:49
you know, and those two guys, I would say Tim Pool and Joe Rogan were probably
11:54
the two biggest ones of me even stepping up and doing what I'm doing now.
11:59
Tucker Carlson, and you can see we're getting to the very end of the list.
12:02
This is it because it seems like I used to have hundreds and hundreds of who I followed.
12:07
Like I whittled it down and I will continue to whittle it down.
12:11
And there's different people of reasons. I follow different people at different times.
12:15
VidIQ. It's a very good, a very good, um, helpful source to use if you are into, um,
12:22
content creation and they're like, they know what,
12:25
what really flies on YouTube and how to best boost your channel,
12:29
make what you're creating be very helpful to everybody bring value because that
12:34
even though it's the corniest thing ever to say it's the truest thing ever to
12:38
say is if someone's going to spend their time of listening to you then the most
12:43
important thing you can do is not waste their time and give them value every
12:46
second you know and then wes huff.
12:49
Absolutely love him. He's Christian. He's went on so many podcasts.
12:53
He's does his own thing in Canada.
12:55
He, he's, he's, he's kind of like the apology apologist right now for Christianity.
13:00
He does, he does it. He articulates it very well.
13:03
Highly encouraged following him. And then YouTube creators. I don't know why I follow them, but I do.
13:08
I, I, they obviously almost got 10 million, you know, it's a,
13:11
it's a thing that looks like that.
13:12
I don't know why I necessarily started I started following them and I don't,
13:16
I probably just, it's a, it's a thing that maybe helps if you're into creating stuff on YouTube,
13:23
having that kind of access of hearing their stuff, any stuff that new comes out like that one.
13:29
I hadn't really thought about why whenever I was going through that list,
13:31
probably about a week or two ago when I was doing that, I just saw YouTube on
13:34
there, but a YouTube creators, if you're a creator is probably a good idea to
13:37
follow and stay, stay in touch with that channel.
13:40
All right. We're going to move on to X.
13:43
This is where it might get highly controversial, especially when you see the
13:47
very first person that's going to show on the list.
13:50
And I, to be honest, I didn't start following this guy on X until yesterday.
13:57
All right. Without further ado, Nick Fuentes, he is a very, very highly controversial person.
14:04
I hadn't followed him for a while, but YouTube keeps throwing them on my,
14:07
I've been watching videos.
14:08
I really started when I started seeing his debate with Dean something.
14:13
You see Parker and Dean. These are two guys that are left-leaning debaters that are out there.
14:20
And it was a really cool conversation they had. It wasn't even a conversation.
14:23
It was just at each other's throats the whole time.
14:26
Nick Fuentes and Dean, whatever his name is, I don't know.
14:29
But either way, Nick Fuentes, I don't really subscribe to him.
14:33
He's a Christian, but he's a white nationalist. he's into all that.
14:37
And he's unashamed. He doesn't, he doesn't shy away from it.
14:42
You know, whatever it is, whatever he believes, you know, I obviously don't
14:45
agree with probably half of what he believes, but,
14:50
He's very interesting, and a lot of people out there that are famous, they do follow him.
14:54
But he is that highly controversial person that is out there that he can't even
14:58
go on to a lot of platforms just by how nuclear he is.
15:04
And now you're going to see a lot of the same people. Alex O'Connor, I love him.
15:08
VidIQ, Wesley Huff, JD Vance.
15:12
I was combing through these lists, and who I, I cannot go without staying following them.
15:19
These are the people that ended up. These are the people that landed.
15:21
And I'm sure I will comb through more and more.
15:24
It is, it feels good to, instead of just having a whole baggage of everyone
15:28
that you really don't feel that connection with. It doesn't mean you can't follow them later.
15:31
It doesn't mean you can resubscribe, you know, and and there's so many people
15:36
out there that I watch so much more of this stuff, like I said,
15:38
but who I feel a tie to, like I cannot go without subscribing to this person.
15:44
That's kind of been my level of criteria of when I want to subscribe to or follow someone.
15:50
JD Vance, Padcast Studios, the best. That's our business. You should check it out. You should follow.
15:56
This is on X. And then Podbean, again, Restream. That is who I run through a
16:01
lot of our channels through.
16:03
They're kind of like a hub for posting your content and putting it out there
16:08
to a number of different platforms at once and live streaming a number of different platforms at once.
16:13
Restream has been pretty solid, pretty solid.
16:15
Uh, Patrick bet, David, Patrick, but David, Gary V Gary V I've never even tried in my life.
16:22
So let's try it now. I've never tried to pronounce his last name.
16:26
Gary Vy Vaynerchuk Vaynerchuk, Gary Vaynerchuk. I'm going to try to say it,
16:30
but all I know him is Gary V. I love his stuff.
16:34
He's a guy, he curses a lot. He's known by, by that, but he says so much,
16:38
there's so much wisdom and what he says, especially if you are a person that
16:42
wants to go out there and just drive your business,
16:45
build your business and just be pumped up about your business.
16:48
I love this video that he made.
16:50
He's talking about, you don't love your business. You love what your business can give you.
16:57
And it's like, if you are creating something, if you're an entrepreneur,
16:59
you're a creator, you need to love your business.
17:03
It can't be just like, I wanna have a business so it can make me money.
17:07
Or I wanna have a business so it can make influence and build connections and
17:11
all that kind of stuff. but you got to love your business itself. It is your baby.
17:16
You know, it is your baby. And some, some people have a lot of babies out there, you know?
17:20
Richard Dawkins, I do like him. He's a well-known atheist.
17:24
Andrew Tate, another huge, highly controversial person.
17:29
Probably not as much as Nick Fuentes, though. Nick Fuentes, if you are caught
17:34
having him on your platform, maybe not as much as Netanyahu.
17:37
If we saw the Nelk boys the other day, Netanyahu almost is probably the most,
17:43
you know, people say he is Hitler incarnate right now, which is so weird.
17:47
So backwards, but Cobra Tate, Andrew Tate, you know, I went back and forth on
17:51
Andrew. I like, I like his stuff.
17:54
I really like his stuff. I, I, and I like what he stands for.
17:56
There's some things out there that he does put out there that is just kind of, I don't know, man.
18:01
I, I, you take the good with the bad. You know, there's some things that I don't
18:05
agree with that he says, you know, and I don't know. I don't want to get into it right now. Exactly.
18:09
Got so many other people to cover. Uh, Magnus Carlson, he's the,
18:12
a world, the best chess player in the world, best chess player in the world.
18:16
So I, I love chess. I love myself some chess.
18:19
So seeing his videos and what he does out there, he's been on Joe Rogan as well.
18:25
Very unique personality. It seems dry, but he's brilliant, very smart.
18:31
And he, I've seen videos of him blindfolded playing like 20 people in chess,
18:35
maybe not 20, but like 10 people in chess, him blindfolded and he's playing
18:40
against 10 other people in chess and he's just killing them.
18:44
I don't know how you do that, but some people are just like,
18:47
I've seen like, it's this level of the spectrum. If you, you hear about autism,
18:51
people that have a little, have that in them, almost like it puts them on another level.
18:56
And I'm not saying that he has that. And it's, and it's definitely not a bad
19:00
thing to have that. It can almost give you a one leg up if you have that.
19:04
And it seems like just, I might got a little bit myself, you know,
19:07
it doesn't really matter.
19:08
It's something that if you are, it gives you the ability to just be like able
19:12
to analyze things better than other people and able to see things that other
19:17
people would just completely miss. You become hyper obsessed.
19:20
I don't know all that stuff about autism and the spectrum and all that,
19:23
but like, it just seems like a lot of people that have that a little, have that.
19:27
They do very well at what they do. Michael Knowles again, Mr. Beast.
19:31
I got him over here as well. And if there's some carryover, if there's some
19:35
bleed over from one to the other, that's like a double whammy.
19:39
That means if I got to follow him on YouTube and X, that means something.
19:43
I just want you to personalize this for you. And then even just thinking about
19:47
it for you, if you're wanting to build an audience, why would somebody subscribe
19:53
to you as opposed to anyone else?
19:55
You got to be so good. You got to be a person that they, they can't stand you not being in their life.
20:02
I know there's family and friends that just subscribe to you just for the,
20:05
you know, just for the love, you know, they, they want to give you a little
20:07
bit of love and they show you that.
20:09
But like, if you're in this space, you're not doing it for your family or your
20:12
friends, like, and creating stuff. You're doing it for the people,
20:16
everyone else out there. You're building entertainment.
20:19
You're building value. You're not building something that's just,
20:22
oh, goody feeling, good feelings and all that good vibes, you know?
20:25
And you scratch my bag, I'll scratch yours kind of thing.
20:28
And just, you're doing it to actually genuinely help other people in some form or fashion.
20:33
That's at the end of the day. Otherwise, what's the point of any of it?
20:36
What's the point of any money will dry up. You'll never have enough fame.
20:40
You'll never have enough, whatever it is. It's, it's like, it's overall the
20:45
good that you are doing for other people, you know?
20:48
And if we want to take it to the next layer, it would be, you know,
20:52
ultimately for God and his kingdom.
20:54
Cause I mean, at the end of the day, anything not done for God and for his kingdom
20:58
is going to burn up in the end. It's not even going to matter.
21:00
It's just a waste of time. You're just wasting your time. Okay.
21:04
Ian Miles Cheung. He's a, he's not, he posts a lot of good stuff.
21:08
I mean, I don't even know if good stuff, just he posts a lot of stuff.
21:12
He's like very into the news. I've, I've, I've, I've felt a,
21:15
maybe a tie with him. Yeah.
21:17
He says some crazy stuff. I don't agree with a lot of the things he says,
21:21
but like, just because, like I said, you, you subscribe to someone,
21:24
you're not married to them.
21:25
They're not, they are not you. You are not them.
21:28
You know, it's just like who you, who you feel that tie, that close tie with
21:32
Jack Poso. I like him a lot. Ninja cat turd.
21:36
I've almost went to where I'm going to unsubscribe to cat turd.
21:39
I'm, I like Trump a lot, but it seems like he is almost even more than me.
21:44
So that's even a word he's, I like Trump a lot, but he, it seems like he is,
21:50
he posts things that are just like, he has drunk the Kool-Aid.
21:55
Like, like I want to be like, I like Trump a lot, but I want to still be like,
21:59
have him at a distance and be critical and able to be critical and say things
22:03
that I just, I'm not in a cult and believing in Trump.
22:07
It seems like cat turd. He is more like anything Trump does.
22:11
It's automatically perfect. You know, I don't think, I don't think we have to
22:16
be that even, even Trump. I don't think we have to do that.
22:18
You know, uh, Jordan Peterson, he might be somebody I might subscribe back to on YouTube. I.
22:25
Ben Palaisi, this is guy, he's not, he's not, he's not super well known.
22:29
And there's going to be some of those guys, especially he's, he's a, he's funny.
22:33
He's like, he's, he's kind of like that Caleb that I showed you earlier.
22:36
And we're going to see down here as well.
22:38
It's just somebody that I feel a unique connection with just because who they are as an individual.
22:44
He's hilarious. He's funny. He's not, he's not a crazy rock star, superstar out there.
22:49
I'm sure he would like to be, you know, but at this time he's not,
22:52
and he might become that later on. You know, it's not always your time right now.
22:56
You know, you don't know at what point you could just go just out of this world.
23:01
You know, Bill Maher, as you can see, I like him a lot.
23:06
Babylon Bee, it's funny, a news network. They post a lot of stuff. It's a lot of satire.
23:11
Caleb, we got there. Adam Carolla, like he, Adam Carolla, he was probably the
23:16
patient one of podcasting.
23:19
He was one of the guys that really got the ball rolling for podcasting.
23:27
Adam Krigler, I like him a lot. He used to be on Tim Pool's show.
23:31
I've kind of just never, I don't really watch much of his stuff.
23:34
I see some of the things he posts, but I really don't. But again, it's that connection.
23:39
It doesn't necessarily, everything in internet and creativity and creating content.
23:46
It has shifted to where's the
23:49
interest at who is making stuff that is just going
23:52
to go viral who's going to make something that's going to be helpful and
23:55
being helpful and like bringing value and going viral they ain't the same thing
24:00
they're not the same thing but like who you follow and who you have that connection
24:04
with they might not be the person that you watch all day long but you still
24:07
they're still like almost a layer outside your family you feel a little closer to them.
24:12
All right. Jake Paul, Ed Reed and Troy Palamalu, you can see they're back to
24:16
back. Those are my two favorite football players of all time.
24:20
Troy Palamalu and Ed Reed, the best safeties in the NFL, period, period.
24:27
There's no one better than those two guys. And they were so different,
24:31
just them alone. They were so different from one another.
24:34
Ed Reed, if he got the ball, if he grabbed the ball and intercepted it,
24:38
it was going the other way, all the way.
24:40
Troy Palamalu, he was a person. He was a destroyer. He could hit somebody.
24:44
He could knock people out, but he could also intercept and return it.
24:47
Not as good, I would say, as Ed Reed, but,
24:49
He was a guy that just like would knock people out as well, more so than Ed Reed.
24:55
AOC, AOC, I'm, you know, guilty, guilty.
24:59
I'm following AOC. Tim Pool, absolutely.
25:03
Marshall Mathers, Eminem. Stephen King, my favorite author.
25:06
Charlie Kirk, Elon. You got to follow Elon. I've said the other day,
25:10
Elon, we are not hearing as much from him as we used to.
25:14
We used to day and night, all day long hear from him. I think he cooled off
25:19
when he left the trump administration and he's doing his things He's trying
25:22
to focus on his business.
25:23
He's doing all that He's not as much of a lightning rod as he was and I think
25:28
he's trying to settle in and be more more,
25:31
Relatable to everyone as opposed to be he got he did what he wanted He wanted
25:35
trump in office because it probably there would have been so many changes In
25:39
just the whole entertainment and whole freedom of speech if trump wouldn't have
25:43
won and I think Elon did what he had to do to get Trump in there.
25:48
So it kind of preserved that way of life. But now Elon has shrinked back to
25:52
his, his, his tower of building his businesses and doing all that,
25:57
you know, and I, I honestly don't hear about him as much as I used to.
26:01
Joe Rogan, Jack Nicklaus, the probably you could argue the best golfer ever.
26:06
Joe Pags, he's a hilarious talk show host. Justin Biebs, the Biebs.
26:11
Yay. Kanye West, Ben Shapiro. You're seeing, you're seen a lot of crossover,
26:15
a lot of bleed over Patrick Mahomes, InfoWars and Alex Jones.
26:18
That is InfoWars is Alex's, is his platform.
26:22
Him, Nick Fuentes and Cobra Tate, Andrew Tate are probably the,
26:28
probably the most highly controversial people that I follow out there, but I like them all.
26:32
I, I don't know as much about Nick Fuentes. He's more kind of just a interest
26:37
kind of right now for me and just seeing what he's saying, because I obviously
26:41
don't agree with so much what he, what he believes,
26:43
but he is a person that is unabashedly unashamed of just fighting for his beliefs
26:50
and his opinions, as opposed to somebody he's not, he's not scared.
26:53
He's not going to back down.
26:54
He's going to, he's the person that leaves it all on his sleeve.
26:59
You know, we already talked about him, but.
27:00
Donald Trump, Jesse Waters, Tucker, Leo, my favorite actor, Leonardo DiCaprio,
27:07
Glenn Beck, Skip Bayless, and Tim Tebow.
27:10
This is kind of like probably a newest to oldest.
27:13
This is like who I have followed the oldest probably on X is Tim Tebow. Tim Tebow.
27:19
All right. We're going to skip over to TikTok. TikTok. I know you're seeing a lot of the same names.
27:25
I'm not going to do this every day, you know, but I wanted to do this today.
27:28
And then almost the biggest thing is this psychology of who subscribes to you,
27:34
who are you trying to get to subscribe to you?
27:37
And what, why do you subscribe to others? What is the reason?
27:41
If you peel back the layers, the onion and get to the heart of the issue,
27:44
why are you subscribing to who you're subscribing to?
27:47
You know? And I would say there is that therapeutic thing of just weed out the
27:51
ones that you don't necessarily need, but doesn't mean you got to stop watching them.
27:55
But who do you feel that deep connection with? The McFarlane's,
27:58
this is just a family family.
28:01
You know, it isn't weird. Like when you're starting to say something,
28:03
you're thinking about two words ahead or the next word and you just, you blend it together.
28:07
Either a funny family. There's Caleb, Andrew Russo, the funniest guy on the planet.
28:12
I will say that over. This is, this feels good for me to just be able to talk
28:15
this out because this is a window to my soul. Not everybody cares about it.
28:19
You know, I honestly wouldn't care about other people's windows to their soul.
28:23
You know, and like this, but for me to actually just talk it out, it feels good.
28:27
As we're going to see a lot, some of these people, especially,
28:30
especially as we get to Instagram is where we're going to see people.
28:34
I personally know that I really, I'm, I'm my, my goal is to,
28:40
I want to, if I'm following you, I don't want to unfollow you.
28:42
If it's someone I personally know, you know, that doesn't always happen, but that's my goal.
28:47
Andrew Russo, Frank Sinatra, the legend, probably one of my favorite singers
28:52
ever I wasn't alive when he was doing his thing but he is to the people that
28:57
are really there to you that are listening you're going to hear some heartfelt.
29:01
From why I am Ghost Natra and why I chose that name because I love Ghost and
29:08
I love Frank Sinatra that's the real reason and only you know.
29:13
The next one Shifo7091 that is my mother that is my mom then we got Eminem,
29:20
a ninja ben shapiro alex hermosi
29:24
he is a business entrepreneur his his his
29:27
main gig his main deal right now is school the school community
29:30
building uh building that whole platform and all that you know you can do whatever
29:34
it is but either way you listen to his stuff he will get you fired up and pumped
29:38
up and want to just go out there and kill it for your business you know and
29:42
do it for right reasons and why you're doing it he's kind of like that gary
29:45
v factor to me charlie kirk diary of a.
29:49
And then right here, these might be some of the people that I just,
29:51
I think on TikTok, a lot of the people on TikTok, I don't even necessarily personally know.
29:55
I think I just started, I don't know why I followed some of them.
29:59
But it's like, I almost because like, if they became where they are my friend
30:02
on there, I didn't want to unfollow them.
30:04
I want to like, you know, ride or die with them, you know, even though I might
30:08
not necessarily even know, because there is that, you know, especially when
30:11
you get into Facebook, there's so many people that I'm just friends with that
30:13
I don't even really know at all. And I'm sure you have that as well.
30:17
But it's like, these are the people that I'm, you know, you're in my life.
30:20
You know, you're not just a public figure out there that I, I follow when I
30:24
feel like following sometime, but you know, I want to stay close knit to you, you know?
30:28
And I don't know. I saw a lot of these people. I do not know.
30:30
Christopher, Dr. Iberry.
30:32
I probably thought there's a reason I forget exactly why I started following
30:36
Carol Dillon three 39 Ronnie Joe.
30:38
I do know her. I do know her in real life. I don't know what this one is,
30:42
but that is my daughter's picture.
30:44
That is my daughter's picture on there. And it's a fidget obsessed trader. I don't know.
30:48
I don't know if my daughter created that or created that with her friends or
30:51
with her Nana or what, but it's out there and I'm following it.
30:55
We're friends, whatever. I don't even know.
30:56
I don't know about that one. My, my daughter, Sophie, she does have a legitimate account.
31:00
I don't know what that is, but I know what her legitimate account was,
31:03
but this one right here, I don't know anything really about it.
31:06
It's, I don't even know what's going on there. I really don't.
31:10
I, she does have one. We'll get to her actual professional business,
31:15
a TikTok account, which is also on X.
31:18
I don't know. I don't think she's on X, but she's on Instagram.
31:21
It's another people. There's a lot of people. I don't know. I don't know.
31:23
I don't know them, but we're, Oh, that I'm going to unfollow you then.
31:28
Cause I don't necessarily know you, but we're not friends. So I'm going to unfollow
31:31
you because I, I'm saying like the people that are friends with me.
31:35
And like, even though they're not big wigs out there, that huge people out there were friends.
31:39
This is a person that I, for some reason, started following.
31:43
He's not just a person by the eye test, recognized immediately.
31:48
He's not somebody I know.
31:49
So, hey, I'm sure you gave me something good, but I got to part ways,
31:54
man. You're not following me. We're not friends.
31:56
This is where it ends. This is where it ends. Got to have those moments.
32:00
I don't know who this person is. Sandra.
32:04
I don't even want to act like I'm pronouncing her name.
32:07
Rich is a person. These people are friends with, Tricia, Ella, Heather.
32:12
I don't know these people, but we are friends. Great, Rita on.
32:16
Another one. This is, I believe this is actually my mom's. That's weird.
32:21
How many accounts does my mom have? I think that's my mom.
32:24
I think that's my mom right there. Sherry, fidget trader. So maybe she had the other one as well.
32:29
TikTok is probably the most messed up situation of having accounts by far of any platform out there.
32:37
TikTok is the most messed up situation. It is such a weird deal.
32:42
There's some great things about TikTok, but some things are just,
32:45
it's filthy. It's filthy. It's not clean.
32:49
And it's like your account. And that's why so many people create so many accounts
32:53
because it's just not, it's not a clean situation, but they know how to do,
32:57
they got the algorithm, right? They got the algorithm in a lot of ways.
33:00
All right fox news you can see i guess i
33:03
follow fox news and that's the only news right follow probably because
33:06
the other ones i can't have a stomach for in some of the things and fox news
33:09
ain't perfect but there i would say and i know this is people don't like this
33:13
they are of the major networks out there probably the most fair and balanced
33:16
probably but maybe that's because i lean more conservative conservative uh tina
33:20
bush it's a family member donald trump jr president Donald Trump.
33:27
And there's my daughter. She's got a picture of Billie Eilish on there,
33:31
but her handle is sophie.eilish.sterniello.
33:36
She likes Sterniello's and Billie Eilish. Ryan Flanders. He's a person I know
33:40
in real life. These are people I actually know.
33:42
Kelly DePriest, Ryan Sandeman. He's a family friend. He's a great man. Great man.
33:47
Podcast Studios, the business, the business, the future of creativity,
33:51
entertainment, marketing, branding, podcast studios.
33:54
Remember that. Find it. You know, get connected with it. Get connected with it as much as you can.
34:01
Otherwise, we are coming for you, and we want to lock arms with you. You know, we want to.
34:07
Abdullah Tarawa. This is somebody that I knew, and I would say he's a friend.
34:13
Overseas, I met him when I was overseas. He's just a great human being.
34:17
Jesse Waters, everybody knows him. Breedlove, this is people I know. Beverly Leach, Benson.
34:22
Benson is a high profile. I'll probably, I would say the, the best,
34:27
the person with the best vocals of any man that I've seen,
34:31
you know, in a certain way, you know, I love Frank Sinatra, but I've never seen
34:35
a guy have vocals like Benson Boone.
34:38
It, he, he's such a good singer, such a good singer, you know,
34:42
Royals and Chiefs. This is people I know.
34:44
And there's Abdullah Azeem. This is somebody I also met overseas.
34:48
Jeremy, Jeremy Wehrlein. That's my cousin. Brandon Sherry went to school with him. Tammy Berry.
34:52
That's my aunt Amber friends, Josh, my cousin, Tucker Carlson.
34:57
Who, who is this? Digby Edgley.
35:00
Hey, I gotta let go, man. I don't know you. I don't know you. We ain't friends.
35:04
I'm sure this person I really liked on TikTok. I F if there was anything TikTok
35:08
and X, but primarily TikTok.
35:10
I used to like, if I found anybody that just made me laugh, I liked any of them.
35:13
I would follow them because I didn't want, because TikTok, it is another thing.
35:16
You lose sight of them. You lose touch with them.
35:19
It's like, if you don't grab on, they're gone. They vanish.
35:23
You know, they literally evaporate from your world.
35:26
You know, you don't see them ever again, but I got to let go,
35:29
man. Even though I probably like your stuff, I got to let go.
35:32
That's a bad idea. These guys are, are hilarious. These guys are hilarious on
35:37
TikTok. They're so funny.
35:39
You know, Mr. Beast, third time's a charm. This is somebody we're seeing on all three.
35:45
Dylan Page, very, he's news daddy, he's funny, he's not even funny,
35:49
he's not, I'm sure he's funny at times. He's, he brings the news to you.
35:55
Intensely, intensely, and right to the point. His videos cover so much and so
35:59
quick. He's really good. He's really good at what he does.
36:02
The love of my life, Jesse Fogle, JFogue32.
36:05
That's my wife. And then here we see, we see, I always forget his name already,
36:09
but it's Ben Palazzi. You know, I have him on X.
36:12
Matt Cutshall. This is somebody, these are early, early ons of TikTok.
36:16
You know, TikTok had its heyday, its biggest heyday when we were like in 2020 COVID.
36:21
Like these are the guys that take me back. Even though that was a terrible time
36:24
in human history, it was good having those guys in my life. Very funny.
36:29
Tyler Jerry, he's another, he's very, he's different. A lot of his videos are the same though.
36:33
It's about him being a father and doing like what dads do and all this kind of stuff.
36:38
He has his own kind of genre, his own milieu, you know?
36:42
Tyler Jerry, I would say follow him. He's very funny. My wife loves his stuff. He's very funny.
36:47
Jake Paul, awesome. Awesome. them.
36:50
I go back, back and forth, Jake Paul and Logan Paul. If I had like, who would I choose?
36:55
If I could have one person in my life, I can only grab onto one.
36:59
I'm not literally grab on, but like, who am I going to choose out of those two?
37:02
I'm going Jake. I'm going Jake. I'm going Jake, but I do like both of them.
37:07
And the Biebs, we're going to end it there with Justin Bieber.
37:10
And I hope you'll have enough for, this ain't a sprint. This is a marathon.
37:15
All right. The last one we got. This is where it gets probably extra personal.
37:19
I would say the most personal that is out there. What if we went to my Facebook?
37:24
Because Facebook, like Facebook is next level. It's like where your grandparents,
37:28
your parents, your grandma's, I don't even know.
37:31
Like it's, it's different. You know, I feel weird even putting anything on Facebook
37:36
because it's when it's the people that you actually,
37:39
you know, and they know you, there is that comfortability factor that you feel
37:44
with people that are just out there,
37:47
you know, you, you can feel a deep connection, even though you're thousands
37:50
of miles away from each other that you feel that you maybe don't have as much with somebody do it,
37:56
you know, when real life, you know, and it feels weird to like have that somebody
38:00
that, you know, almost a little bit creepy ish, you know, when somebody in,
38:03
you know, in real life is kind of checking out your stuff, you know, it feels weird,
38:07
even though you're so thankful for them.
38:09
It just, it, it's, it strikes differently.
38:12
All right. We're moving to Instagram and this is going to be the last of it.
38:15
We're all right. This is, this is going to be very close to my heart.
38:19
A lot of these things, these are going to be like more so people I literally
38:22
know in real life, in real life, IRL, Brandon Fogle, IRL.
38:27
All right. The top there we can see Jesse Fogle. That is my wife, my bride.
38:32
Next Packet Studios, the business, baby, the business Packet Studios, Nick, the kick.
38:38
I would say my best friend I've had, you know, in all my life. I like him.
38:42
I love him a lot, but I'm not in connection with him really now,
38:44
but we have our memories together.
38:48
Resilient Rusty, that is Pastor Rusty Savage, and then Pastor Rusty, his other personal one.
38:53
He's got his ministry, Resilient Shepherds Ministries, which I don't know too
38:57
much about, but he's overall an awesome human being, a fighter for the kingdom, a fighter for Jesus.
39:03
So, I mean, anything that he does is awesome.
39:06
Pastor Rusty savage and then sophie that is
39:09

39:49
Either way, these are my people I go to.
39:52

40:17
you know, Jenison DeVall.
40:19
This is Janice Reneke.
40:21
This is weird. Like people, like, you know, in real life, you're like,
40:24
read it, like, and not necessarily everybody out there knows,
40:26
but it's like, these are the people that my, my heart, this is my heart, you know?
40:31
Denise Wilson, Kirsten, or Kirsten. I don't know necessarily who that is.
40:36
I don't know if I know who that is. But like, this isn't games.
40:39

Who cares if your line can't block for you and your receivers can't catch?

So I got a lot of really personal right there. And we're going to switch over back over to X. Okay.
41:59
All right. So I hope you, I hope that was maybe somewhat thought provoking for
42:05
you. Who are you subscribing to?
42:07
Clean it out. The ones that you really love, you know, if you can't live without
42:11
subscribing or following them, you know, doesn't mean that they shouldn't exist,
42:15
but you know, it's about you.
42:17
It's about you and who you want to see, like who you have that connection with,
42:20
you can still watch the hell of everybody else out there or watch the heaven
42:24
out of everybody else out there, but who you want to have a tight knit with,
42:28
who you feel that, that connection with,
42:30
you know, make those be the people that you follow, you subscribe to, subscribe to all that.
42:34
It's not, it's not a life or death who you subscribe to.
42:38
It's, this is just vanity metrics, you know, all that kind of stuff,
42:41
you know, but that's why I want to be a person that's not just,
42:44
I want a build a huge falling for no reason, but I genuinely want to have community
42:49
with as many people as possible.
42:52
And that's my goal. And if I can do something that's going to bring value and
42:56
help someone, that's what I want to do.
42:58
All right. So follow me on X and Instagram at Brandon Fogle.
43:02
Have a great day, everyone. Peace.
