HHBSO 107: You Have to Have Influence to Be An Influencer · He's Hot but Something's Off...

• 0:02
  Hello, welcome to He's hot, but something's off with me.
• 0:05
  Jess, Joey T It is warm in Los Angeles, and it's especially bad
• 0:15
  for me because I walk to the gym.
• 0:18
  I go to the gym most days of the week and when normal people when
• 0:23
  it's warmer side, they'll be in a tank top, a sleeveless tee or
• 0:28
  no shirt, they're in shorts, they're in flip flops or
• 0:30
  something. I'm the opposite.
• 0:32
  I cover up as much of my body as possible from the sun.
• 0:36
  The UV index I went to the gym today and I had just left the
• 0:43
  left the house and I just pulled up because I was curious what
• 0:46
  the UV index is and it was 11, which is as high as it goes.
• 0:50
  But I will put sunscreen on my face and my neck.
• 0:53
  But I don't like putting on sunscreen on my body and
• 0:56
  sunscreen is usually hard to wash off because most sunscreen
• 0:59
  is water resistant. That means it's very hard to
• 1:02
  wash off. So I cover myself up.
• 1:05
  I have long pants. I have this UV jacket that zips
• 1:09
  up all the way to like under my chin and it's got a hoodie so I
• 1:12
  put the hoodie on I've got a baseball cap.
• 1:13
  I pull it down low, but it's it gets a little sweaty under
• 1:19
  everything. So walking to the gym is not
• 1:24
  that bad, but it's just a leisurely walk.
• 1:27
  You know, it's like a little bit of shade and that's fine.
• 1:30
  But like after you've had like a full session at the gym and then
• 1:34
  you like try to walk home. I don't shower at the gym.
• 1:36
  I don't like doing that. So I'm not super sweaty at the
• 1:40
  gym. Just for the record, I don't
• 1:42
  really sweat that much like at the gym itself.
• 1:43
  I'm not like I'm not like sweating bullets or anything.
• 1:46
  I think it's super warm at the gym anyways and there's AC at
• 1:48
  the gym, but you know, after like a, a good workout, putting
• 1:52
  all that stuff back on. By the time I get home, the
• 1:54
  first thing I do when I literally the first thing I do
• 1:58
  once I get into the house and I, I close the door behind me.
• 2:02
  It's literally like stripping down naked.
• 2:05
  Everything comes off, jacket comes off, hat comes off, bag
• 2:08
  comes off, and then the pants like I Jack and immediately like
• 2:13
  the pants come off because I've got these long pants that I
• 2:15
  wear. They're kind of like joggers, I
• 2:17
  guess. They're not like super thick
• 2:20
  winter joggers, but they're not meant for like 90° weather.
• 2:24
  It's about like high 80s in LA right now.
• 2:29
  They're not really meant for that.
• 2:30
  So it's not super well, it's a little sweaty under the pants by
• 2:34
  the time I get home from the gym, to be really honest.
• 2:37
  Anyways, how is everybody doing? I in in an effort to keep the
• 2:43
  house a little cooler and also just to like generally save
• 2:47
  money on the electricity bill. My ceiling lights in my living
• 2:52
  room that I'm sitting in right now.
• 2:54
  I podcast on my dining room table.
• 2:56
  Nowadays, the ceiling lights are off.
• 3:00
  I've got the fan going. So in the daytime we'll get up
• 3:03
  inside the house. It gets up to like nearly 80°,
• 3:08
  but if I'm in the house and I'm just sitting there, I'm at my
• 3:11
  computer or I'm on the couch. I'm not like I'm not trying to
• 3:16
  do chores in house. If I'm doing chores, if I'm
• 3:18
  cleaning the house, it does get warm.
• 3:21
  So I gotta pick, maybe pick a day when it's like not that warm
• 3:25
  to like do some of those chores, but I'm just sitting there.
• 3:28
  I just have the fan and I don't need the AC keep it like I think
• 3:31
  early today was like 80 got up to 80° in the inside the house.
• 3:35
  But with the fan, it's completely fine, honestly.
• 3:37
  But at night, though, the AC just has to come on because it
• 3:42
  just, I just can't fall asleep when it's that warm.
• 3:45
  Yeah, but it's nice. I thought we're gonna get June
• 3:47
  Gloom, which is a real thing in Los Angeles, but it's been
• 3:50
  pretty nice weather since the start of June.
• 3:53
  I just realized it's it was June 18th, so it's Wednesday as I'm
• 3:59
  recording this. I I swear it was like the 12th
• 4:03
  or the 13th or something and for most of the month to be over.
• 4:06
  It is so crazy. I was doing some work thing
• 4:09
  earlier today and I had to like basically make this like big
• 4:13
  payment to a vendor to order stuff.
• 4:15
  And I was looking at this like, oh, it's the 18th already.
• 4:18
  Not that like the bill was going to be overdue.
• 4:21
  Like they had just sent the bill today.
• 4:23
  But I was like, OK, they sent over the invoice today.
• 4:26
  I need to pay by the end of the month.
• 4:28
  I was like, OK, how many days do I have left?
• 4:30
  It's like what? But actually the day of the
• 4:32
  month is, is, oh, it's the 18th. So I have to like the 30th to
• 4:36
  pay it, which I knew I had to the 30th to pay, but I was like,
• 4:39
  oh shit, need to move some money around really, really real
• 4:42
  quickly. ANYWAYS, we don't usually do
• 4:45
  news on the podcast, but I do read the news all the time.
• 4:52
  I just, I don't know, somewhere along the way I think I got used
• 4:55
  to just keeping up on current events and things like that.
• 4:58
  I definitely read up on like financial news, like stock
• 5:03
  market news, things like that. That's one of the regular things
• 5:06
  I check every day and not every day, but most days I'll just
• 5:10
  check the general news, like a general news website.
• 5:14
  The other thing I check for is like tech news because I'm a
• 5:17
  techie. So like I check tech news.
• 5:19
  It's like, oh, is there, I don't know, some discount on some tech
• 5:22
  now that I'm buying anything usually or you know, it's like
• 5:26
  some, some new product announcement or something like
• 5:29
  that. But for the general news, like
• 5:32
  the last week or so, there's been so many big major headlines
• 5:37
  in the news. You know, usually when you go to
• 5:39
  a news website, you, they get like the one headline that
• 5:42
  doesn't take up like the entire width of like the web page.
• 5:46
  You know, there's always a headline, but it's like it, it,
• 5:51
  it, it doesn't take up the full screen.
• 5:53
  But if you like the last few days, there's been so many big,
• 5:57
  huge headlines that would take up the full width of the screen.
• 6:02
  I'm on like one particular news website that I usually check.
• 6:05
  I'm not going to name it because I don't want to make it seem
• 6:07
  like I'm partial to like some particular news because even
• 6:11
  that's politicized anyways these days.
• 6:14
  But it was like one major headlight and you scroll that
• 6:17
  and other major headlight and other major headlight after
• 6:20
  that. There's been so much stuff going
• 6:22
  on. And these days, like probably
• 6:27
  around the start of the year, soon after the presidential
• 6:30
  election is really honest. I stop checking the news all the
• 6:33
  time because it just keeps you. A lot of times the news keeps
• 6:40
  you on this edge of like, like, I don't know, restlessness,
• 6:48
  anxiety, even if it's like not a political thing.
• 6:52
  But I have kind of sort of been more, a lot more measured in the
• 7:00
  news that I take in. You know, I read about like tech
• 7:05
  news, I read about car news, but you know, like the actual like
• 7:11
  big news headlines. Sometimes it's like sometimes a
• 7:14
  report of stuff that I don't even really want to know about.
• 7:18
  And it's like some of the some of the articles are for some I
• 7:23
  just read, I just read this article.
• 7:26
  I won't, I don't think I should go into details of it.
• 7:28
  But anyways, it's a, it's a slightly controversial subject,
• 7:31
  but some friends sent it over. And then there's a line in there
• 7:34
  that like insinuates, in my opinion, insinuates something
• 7:38
  that wasn't really true about a particular industry.
• 7:41
  And it's stuff like that. Sometimes I read a news article
• 7:44
  and the, the journalistic standards, I guess, are not what
• 7:48
  they used to be. So many people get their news
• 7:51
  from Tiktok and Twitter and things like that.
• 7:55
  Oh, you know what's really annoying?
• 7:56
  You know what, let's not even talk about the, the actual like
• 7:59
  news media anymore. But I'm already over it.
• 8:01
  But a lot of people get their information from Tiktok and
• 8:05
  whatever. You know what?
• 8:06
  I what I don't like to see. I don't like seeing influencers
• 8:13
  delivering news. I don't.
• 8:16
  I don't like that because I feel like a lot of influencers that
• 8:22
  try to do news, they sensationalize it so much.
• 8:29
  And I already kind of sort of don't like how some influencers
• 8:35
  super sensationalize everything they talk about because I don't.
• 8:41
  But sometimes it's like very click baity.
• 8:42
  But I know when you are on TikTok and you're scrolling
• 8:45
  through, you know, people sometimes only see the first
• 8:48
  half a second or one second of your video because you can just
• 8:53
  keep swiping through endlessly. There's like a million videos
• 8:55
  you can keep swiping and swiping and swiping, but you only have
• 8:59
  like that half second or one second actually capture
• 9:01
  someone's attention. So they have to like have some
• 9:06
  sort of I guess they, they have to from a content creator point
• 9:09
  of view. If you want to catch someone's
• 9:11
  attention scrolling through the feed, you have to do something a
• 9:17
  little extra, I guess in the first extra whatever seconds.
• 9:22
  You know what? I you know what else I don't
• 9:24
  like about videos like social media videos and Jedi like
• 9:28
  TikTok and stuff like that is when they have, but a lot of lot
• 9:33
  of lot of influencers and content creators do this is when
• 9:38
  they're like a talking head in front of like a background.
• 9:41
  So they're showing something and then like they superimpose their
• 9:45
  head onto it. I think take that property has
• 9:46
  like a built in feature to do that.
• 9:48
  I never got on board with that trend.
• 9:50
  Oh, you know what else I don't like?
• 9:52
  OK I swear this was not supposed to be a rant, but on YouTube the
• 9:57
  click baity thing that people do is to have those like thumbnails
• 10:01
  where like the influencers, they'll put their own face onto
• 10:05
  the thumbnail and they're having some sort of like super crazy
• 10:09
  facial expression. I never understood that but it
• 10:11
  must work because so many of them do it.
• 10:14
  But whenever I see someone's like stupid ugly facial
• 10:17
  expression, it makes me want to not click on it.
• 10:20
  It's like sometimes ads have the opposite effect.
• 10:22
  There's sometimes I'm streaming some sort of show on my TV and
• 10:27
  sometimes there are ads in between, which is fine.
• 10:30
  And some of those ads are companies just taking influencer
• 10:34
  TikTok reels or Instagram reels and just putting them onto the
• 10:40
  streaming TV, like the streaming service as like ATV ad.
• 10:44
  And it's all it's in like that vertical portrait orientation as
• 10:47
  well. There's just like 1 product
• 10:49
  that's like some sort of herbal whatever drink that's supposed
• 10:53
  to be good for some part, some organ or something, your liver
• 10:56
  or bladder or whatever. And they have this chick talking
• 11:00
  about it like this. It's clearly an influencer chick
• 11:03
  who's paid to do it. But like, all these people in
• 11:05
  ads are paid right, obviously anyways.
• 11:07
  And she's like talking about how whatever good or magical or
• 11:12
  whatever is going to win you lottery tickets.
• 11:15
  And this girl, I can tell she is reciting lines and she's not a
• 11:24
  good actress. And I can tell it's not genuine.
• 11:29
  It's like if they have an influencer, you've got high
• 11:33
  influencer to do marketing for your company and then you're
• 11:36
  going to take that video and put it onto a streaming service
• 11:40
  where millions of people are going to see that ad on like
• 11:44
  ATV, like a big screen TV. It's not just like a random
• 11:47
  TikTok ad that someone, it's just going to like maybe even
• 11:51
  just see the first second and swipe through because they keep
• 11:52
  swiping through TikTok. You know, a lot of people like
• 11:55
  the ads on the TV. They don't.
• 11:56
  You can't Fast forward through the ads.
• 11:58
  You're stuck watching it. This chick I don't even remember
• 12:01
  what product it was like some non cleverly named product.
• 12:04
  It was gross but this chick was like they should have seen the
• 12:08
  ad and be like this does not pass muster for TV even just for
• 12:12
  streaming not nevermind cable. It's like I have no idea why
• 12:15
  they put this ad on but I can sure as hell tell you I'm not
• 12:18
  buying that product. So sometimes ads can have this
• 12:21
  effect of, at least to me anyways, the ad is not good.
• 12:26
  And I'll think I do not want to buy that product.
• 12:29
  Yeah. But like whatever streaming
• 12:31
  service I'm on, like you, keeps you watch stuff on a particular
• 12:37
  streaming service for long enough.
• 12:40
  The ads will repeat eventually, just like when you watch regular
• 12:44
  TV, like you watch cable and the ads that come on naturally on
• 12:47
  cable networks. Yeah, you, you will eventually
• 12:50
  get, you know, you eventually start seeing ads repeat.
• 12:54
  You know, there's not that many new ads that they're serving
• 12:56
  all, all the time. Yeah.
• 12:58
  But like, I don't like this trend of them, like having
• 13:00
  influencers do these like streaming service TV ads.
• 13:07
  There was another one where like this chick was like she wasn't
• 13:10
  reciting lines, but she kept on saying like, oh, this product is
• 13:13
  like good and great and was just like very Asians of her seeing
• 13:17
  how good something was without explaining why it was good or
• 13:21
  like how much she liked it. It was just saying, Oh yeah,
• 13:24
  this was good. And it's like so awesome and
• 13:26
  it's great. It's like you're literally just
• 13:28
  saying the same word, but like throwing a thesaurus at it
• 13:31
  because I also can't believe whatever.
• 13:33
  I don't, I don't remember what product it was.
• 13:34
  I was just, I was annoyed and distracted by how crap that
• 13:39
  influencer was and also how like that company's PR marketing
• 13:45
  department chose to put that piece of shit onto a streaming
• 13:48
  service because I think you probably have to pay a decent
• 13:51
  amount of money. Put your ad onto the streaming
• 13:52
  services. Like you think Disney Plus is
• 13:54
  going to let you have that for cheap.
• 13:56
  So I don't I, I have no idea how we got from talking about the
• 14:01
  weather's warm to talk about news headlines to talk about how
• 14:05
  bad a lot of influence are influencers are at making
• 14:10
  videos. I mean, the whole point of being
• 14:13
  an influencer these days is to be able to like plug in hog
• 14:16
  products. Good influencers can do it
• 14:19
  convincingly. I feel like the really kind of
• 14:22
  like top tier type influencers. I mean, I don't follow a lot of
• 14:25
  influencers to be really honest with you.
• 14:27
  I do not. I don't know a lot of
• 14:30
  influencers. There's like a few tech
• 14:33
  influencers that IA couple of tech influencers that I watched
• 14:39
  some of their videos some of the time the way, but they're like
• 14:43
  top tier, like they're top tier influencers.
• 14:47
  They're like the top like .1% in their in like the tech
• 14:52
  influencer space. They're very like popular
• 14:55
  influencers and but the way they plug products, it's it it feels
• 15:01
  organic and natural. They're not just like some
• 15:04
  random person on Instagram that is like cold, just like cold
• 15:10
  calling, cold emailing companies to offer to like be an
• 15:14
  influencer for them. Like I started my skin care
• 15:16
  company and somehow like I just got like, I don't know, there
• 15:21
  was like a random influencer like every week or like a few of
• 15:25
  them every week that was just like suddenly hit me up or
• 15:27
  e-mail me like the regular, the support line and just be like,
• 15:31
  oh, I'm an influencer and I can create content to you, blah,
• 15:33
  blah. Some of them have like 1000
• 15:35
  followers. Like you don't, you're not an
• 15:37
  influencer at 1000 followers, honey.
• 15:40
  And like 800 of those are bots. Are you kidding me?
• 15:44
  I mean, guess ridiculous because I know people that are not
• 15:47
  influencers at all that don't try to be.
• 15:49
  They're just posting like random selfies with no ulterior motive
• 15:53
  on Instagram and they have more than like 1000 followers.
• 15:57
  I've got like I've got more than 1000 followers and I don't, I
• 16:01
  barely call my, I don't even really call myself an
• 16:03
  influencer, honestly. So yeah, it's, it's just crazy.
• 16:07
  Everybody thinks they're an influencer.
• 16:08
  You know, at my gym just recently, I noticed this just
• 16:14
  like earlier this month, like I noticed a couple of people were
• 16:20
  filming themselves working out at the gym.
• 16:22
  There's just like one guy, he came in, there's a particular
• 16:27
  week where he came in like a few times that week I haven't seen
• 16:29
  him. Maybe he was visiting, but I've
• 16:31
  never seen him at the gym before.
• 16:33
  But that particular week he came in a few times and he's got this
• 16:38
  vlogging camera. I, I know it's a vlogging
• 16:40
  camera, but I have that same camera, the DJ Osmo 3.
• 16:44
  It's very much you only, you only get it for vlogging.
• 16:47
  It's very purpose about to be a vlogging camera.
• 16:50
  You wouldn't get it if you weren't really.
• 16:52
  They had on a tripod. And when I first got to the gym
• 16:55
  that first day, he had the tripod, he had this tiny little
• 16:58
  camera volume camera set up on a tripod in the locker room.
• 17:03
  And there's actually, there's ATV, there's a big screen TV
• 17:07
  right beside the entrance to the locker rooms at my gym.
• 17:10
  And it shows like ads and like it shows some notices and then
• 17:14
  sometimes just show like random videos.
• 17:16
  It's not sign is technically, but as part of the rotation of
• 17:19
  the stuff it shows on that screen.
• 17:20
  One of the things it will show is this big orange sign that
• 17:26
  says no, no photos or videos in the locker room.
• 17:30
  So I mean, it's it's not showing the whole time, but like you go
• 17:33
  to the gym enough times that they will say that.
• 17:36
  So I find it funny that the very first time I saw him at the gym,
• 17:40
  the first time I saw him, he was trying to like take some video
• 17:43
  like in the locker room because he's got like this tripod and
• 17:47
  it's got the camera on it. And then later on, on the around
• 17:51
  the gym, he was just, you know, he was just vlogging himself
• 17:55
  doing various exercises. And I don't really have a
• 17:58
  problem with that. If there was any place you would
• 18:02
  expect to see that, it would be LA, to be really honest, that I
• 18:06
  didn't have a problem with. But he wasn't like in anyone's
• 18:10
  way really. He wasn't in my way.
• 18:13
  Or when I saw that when I was nearby and whenever I saw him on
• 18:16
  a piece of cream with the camera, the camera wasn't in
• 18:18
  someone's way. But later on that week, there
• 18:23
  was like some some girl that was videoing herself working out on
• 18:30
  her phone and she's like, she's on this machine.
• 18:33
  And besides, this machine is rack of dumbbells.
• 18:36
  And my thing about dumbbells at the gym is like don't work out
• 18:41
  right in front of I don't, it's very popular.
• 18:42
  A lot of people work out right in front of the dumbbells, but I
• 18:45
  never want people to like loiter around or block access to the
• 18:49
  dumbbells. If you're doing a set of
• 18:50
  something in front of the dumbbells, it's usually in front
• 18:53
  of a mirror and you are trying to look in front of a mirror.
• 18:56
  I'm not kind of OK with that. But like don't loiter there
• 18:59
  between your sets. That's just my thing because
• 19:01
  you're like standing in front of weights that other people might
• 19:05
  want to get to. So like this chick, she's got
• 19:08
  her like phone popped up on like something and it's like right in
• 19:11
  front of this rack of dumbbells because the, the machine she was
• 19:18
  on is like this right beside this rack of dumbbells and she's
• 19:21
  got her phone like 3 or 4 feet away.
• 19:24
  Like I, I get what she's trying to do.
• 19:26
  The urge I had to fucking drop kick that fucking phone out of
• 19:31
  there. I have to like, go back to my
• 19:33
  therapy and be like, OK, choose your own adventure.
• 19:35
  Choose your own adventure. Don't drop kick her phone.
• 19:40
  This is wrong. Yeah, no, I I I get it.
• 19:43
  But it's also like, I'm trying to work out.
• 19:46
  I just want to like, I just want to get out of the weights.
• 19:49
  I don't have a lot of sympathy for you filming yourself working
• 19:53
  out. You know what?
• 19:54
  The thing it doesn't help, though.
• 19:56
  Sometimes, especially near the end of a gym session, I get
• 20:00
  hungry. Which makes me more sensitive to
• 20:03
  getting hangry so I always have. I always try to have some food
• 20:09
  right before I go to the gym. It's usually like oat me with
• 20:11
  some fruits and usually that will do me well.
• 20:16
  I don't usually get hungry near the end gym.
• 20:19
  I can't go to the gym on a on a empty stomach.
• 20:22
  I can't go to the gym already hungry because I'll just be way
• 20:25
  too distracted by the fact that I'm hungry and it'll be very
• 20:28
  hard to concentrate. But lately though, near the end
• 20:32
  of the gym sessions, maybe I'm gradually starting to like push
• 20:35
  more and burn more calories. After like ramping back up from
• 20:41
  like from like a few weeks ago after EDC, I've kind of sort of
• 20:44
  ran back up now to my regular gym routine.
• 20:47
  So maybe burning more calories. I'm starting to sometimes feel
• 20:50
  just like a little bit hungry near the end of my gym sessions.
• 20:52
  Today was one of those days, and yesterday was for the days.
• 20:55
  And my friends know I get hungry.
• 20:58
  It it's it's a possibility. Just so you know, when you're
• 21:01
  hungry. When I'm hungry, it's a little
• 21:03
  easier to is I'm more irritable. There's no, there's no other
• 21:09
  ways to say it. Let's not sugarcoat it.
• 21:11
  It's more I'm more easily irritated.
• 21:15
  And yeah, I I just don't, I Do you own the French church?
• 21:20
  Do you own the French church? Do you own the French church?
• 21:22
  OK, let's end it there because I always say I want to keep the
• 21:27
  podcasts short and you know, like like 20 something minute
• 21:31
  ish podcast I think will be good for today.
• 21:35
  It is it is warming up a little bit as I'm recording this, but
• 21:40
  yeah, it'll be it'll be it'll be fine.
• 21:42
  I I'm not I'm not an angry person.
• 21:46
  It it's, it's you know what the damage is done.
• 21:49
  I've said all the things I've said and to then afterwards say
• 21:53
  I'm not an angry person. I feel like I'm a very
• 21:56
  passionate, opinionated person. I'm not like very, I'm not super
• 22:01
  easygoing, just not the kind of person that I am, you know, like
• 22:06
  if it, if I were friends or family, it's like, what do you
• 22:08
  want to eat? You know, and like no one has an
• 22:11
  idea and everyone just be like, I don't care.
• 22:14
  I don't care. I don't care.
• 22:15
  It literally, you know, you've all been in that situation where
• 22:17
  like you and a group of friends, OK, you guys are going to go out
• 22:22
  for a meal and then people are like, oh, what should we eat?
• 22:26
  Sometimes you get a group of people where everyone is like,
• 22:29
  oh, eat whatever. Oh, it doesn't matter to me.
• 22:32
  Oh, I'll eat anything. If I'm in that group, I will
• 22:35
  eventually say like, OK, let's go eat this because we can't all
• 22:38
  just be like, I'll eat whatever. Like we need to actually come to
• 22:42
  a decision. However, if someone has an idea,
• 22:44
  I'll be like, OK, sure, it's fine.
• 22:47
  So I'm not like I'm not, I'm not picky and hung up about
• 22:49
  everything. But I, I understand that I, I
• 22:53
  have given all of you not that idea today on this podcast.
• 22:57
  Let's end it there. I do want to remind everyone, if
• 23:00
  you would like to support the podcast, you would like to
• 23:03
  support the channel. I do have a Patreon where you
• 23:06
  can get lots of Patreon exclusive content.
• 23:11
  Just went up this week and other installment of my travel vlog
• 23:15
  from where I went to Asia, went to Seoul and went to Bangkok
• 23:20
  back in April. And then after the travel vlog
• 23:25
  for that trip is over, the next one that's coming up is my trip
• 23:30
  to EDC Las Vegas. I got quite a bit of footage in
• 23:33
  there that's definitely going to be like multiple parts and I so
• 23:37
  much fun at ADC. So I'm very excited for my
• 23:40
  Patreons patrons to see that. And I just actually did another
• 23:45
  live stream with my top tier OPA subscribers.
• 23:48
  I do a monthly live stream and we had a great live stream in
• 23:52
  May and we just did the one for June this past weekend.
• 23:56
  It was so much fun, but I get to like really interact with some
• 24:00
  of my fans and you know, I'm talking and speaking and there's
• 24:03
  like the live chat. So I should really, really
• 24:07
  enjoyed the live streams. We've been doing a live stream
• 24:10
  every month for I think almost like a year now.
• 24:13
  We've had the Patreon up for I think nearly a year.
• 24:15
  I have to double check, but for like several months now and like
• 24:20
  the the live streams are so much fun.
• 24:23
  But in addition to that, I was supposed just like random
• 24:25
  tidbits of things. So David Lamb is staying with me
• 24:29
  and I just posted a selfie of us onto my Patreon.
• 24:33
  It's actually a pretty cute selfie actually.
• 24:35
  So I do post like random tidbits onto my Patreon.
• 24:39
  So we would like to support the channel and also get some extra
• 24:42
  content and return the patrons. A great way to do that.
• 24:45
  But if you just want to leave a tip, just a little token of your
• 24:49
  appreciation on all of my YouTube channels, you can click
• 24:53
  on the little extra 3 dotted menu thing besides the like
• 24:58
  button for any video. Then there will be a thanks
• 25:01
  option. We can leave a little tip
• 25:03
  directly for me within YouTube, which would be much appreciated.
• 25:07
  Or I also have Buy Me a Coffee, which is a platform that you can
• 25:11
  use to support your favorite creators.
• 25:12
  Whenever I say that line, I feel like I'm plugging or like
• 25:16
  advertising that platform, but it's like the easiest, shortest,
• 25:19
  most concise way for me to explain what Buy Me a Coffee the
• 25:23
  app does. There's a lot of creators do use
• 25:26
  it to like just get one time tips from their fans.
• 25:29
  It's just it's a different platform, but it's called buy me
• 25:32
  a coffee. When someone mentioned that to
• 25:34
  me before I even knew what the app was, I had a fan and they
• 25:38
  asked me if I if they could like buy me a car or if I have buy me
• 25:41
  a coffee. And I thought they literally
• 25:42
  meant like they wanted to buy me a coffee.
• 25:44
  I didn't know that it was an app or like a platform.
• 25:48
  And so they had like, explained it to me, but I'd never heard of
• 25:51
  it before. But I do have that now.
• 25:53
  So yeah, feel free to buy me a coffee or leave me a little
• 25:56
  YouTube things. And there's always that Patreon
• 25:59
  as well. But until next time, bye y'all.
