Speaker 1:

Welcome. Welcome back to another episode of Uploaded and Unfiltered, the podcast in which I, your host Jermaine, interviews another content creator in regards to their journey thus far. Tonight, I have a special guest. As always, I'm going to read their bio, get them introduced and start this conversation Tonight. My guest goes by the name of TG. He currently resides in Michigan, works in IT and, in his free time, loves to listen to music and watch shows while enjoying a hookah. Tg has been streaming for a year and hopes to continue to bring enjoyable content while playing games. And, without further ado, I'd like to introduce my guest for the evening, the one, the only, tg.

Speaker 1:

Welcome to the podcast. How are you doing tonight? I'm doing great. Thanks for having me. No problem at all. Man, I'm glad we can. I feel honored. Hey, listen, I don't know why everybody keeps telling me that, like, people are nervous, they're like oh, I don't want to be in a podcast. I'm like yo, thank you for doing this. I appreciate it. Yeah, you know what? I'm going to go ahead and jump into this, because I read some reading your bio and it said you've only been streaming for a year.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I need to update that, okay, okay.

Speaker 1:

Oh my God, I've been streaming for three years, bro. If you were streaming for a year, I was like how, because it looks like you've been doing all right, bet Cool, three years? Yeah, three years. What's the origin story? How did you get started in streaming?

Speaker 2:

Well, it all started with my younger brother. He's always been a PC gamer and every time a new generation of consoles come on he always asks are you ready to come over to PC? So right before the PS5 and the Xbox Series X got announced, I told them the next time the consoles get upgraded, I get a PC. And when they announced the PS5, my brother called me like that same day.

Speaker 1:

He was like it was announced the.

Speaker 2:

PS5. So you get in the PC and I had to be a man of my word and I was like, yes, I built my gaming PC, oh right. And during the process of building it I was just like, man, this thing is pretty powerful, it'll be a shame to just game on it. And I've never watched streams before my brother has. I heard about it, but I never even logged into Twitch before. Wow, and I had called my brother and I was like what do you think you think I should game in stream? And my brother was like I got so excited. Oh my God, he's like you'd be so awesome, you'd be so awesome at streaming.

Speaker 2:

So that was that what got the ball rolling. I was like, all right, let me make me a Twitch account. Well, I already had a Twitch account. I just had to change the name, the name of it, because when you have an Xbox, when you have an Xbox one, it had Twitch on there, so you had to make an account. It was like it was part of the Xbox one interface, so you had to make an account.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

That was. That was all the Twitch knowledge I knew that is wild.

Speaker 1:

Yo shout out to your little brother for seeing greatness when it was in front of him and getting you to do it. That's, that's crazy. That's how this started. Wow, I would have never. Yeah, oh well, with that TG, I know, I know what it stands for, but let's let the listeners. What does it stand for and how did you come up with that name?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, tg stands for terrible gaming on Twitch. I'm terrible gaming one, two, three. The reason I came up came up with that name was because when I first started streaming, I was streaming Dark Souls 2. It was one of the only games that I was very familiar with, so I thought it would calm my nerves while I'm streaming and I didn't want people to think like, when they came in there, I'll be the best Dark Souls player they ever saw. Yeah, I'm just calling myself terrible gaming. So they come in here and say you're terrible at this. I'm like, well, you being very redundant right now, did you not see the name Right?

Speaker 1:

I told you right up front. This is on you.

Speaker 2:

So I love that. Yeah, so that's how I started with the name.

Speaker 1:

That's dope that makes so much sense. What the fuck, speaking of which I know we? This is kind of not in intro, but I'm going to ask because of my podcast. You put it out of the city. I don't know if you're still doing them, but the very first video I saw you do on YouTube and it probably blew up, but it was you're giving terrible advice. Yes, oh, my fucking god, yes, you're telling me that. Mm. Oh, that's a cool comment there. Okay, all right, two questions. One, did anybody ever think that you were for real? And two, how the hell did you come up with that?

Speaker 2:

So definitely people thought I was for real, which I didn't understand how, because I'm like the sarcasm of my voice was so big, but you know, a hit dog on holla, exactly. But I came, I came up with the idea because I was streaming one day and just shoot, shooting the shit with the community, right, and they was like giving terrible takes. And they was like you should, you should just give some terrible advice. And I was like that's actually a good idea. So I did, I did a terrible advice video, I put it on YouTube and it did nothing. I think I got maybe 20 views on it. Oh, wow, okay. And then I was like I was like, damn, I guess this wasn't really a good idea.

Speaker 2:

And then I was like can you post videos on Twitter? Because for me, like I wasn't a social media person, right, I was. You know, I didn't have all the accounts that I have now. I created it when I created my Twitch account, right, right. So I wasn't like a social media person, so I didn't really know how to work any of this stuff. So I was like, all right, I'm going to put it on Twitter and see what it do on Twitter. And as soon as I put it on Twitter. It just went viral. And yeah, and I know you asked do I still do them Very, very sparingly now, gotcha, because with Streamer Twitter, they complain about the same things over and over and over again.

Speaker 2:

Yes, so I mean, I've made one about views, made one about sales, made one about self promotion, made one about Titty Streamers, right? So I think I touched on all the things Streamer Twitter talk about and they still, to this day, have not came up with a new topic. So you know, I don't want to be redundant and just be putting out content, just to be putting it out, right, I wanted to be if, if they see a terrible advice, drop they know, oh, this shit about to be funny, exactly.

Speaker 1:

OK, no, I appreciate that and respect it because, like you said, our Streamer Twitter just they're in a vacuum and every three or four years they come up with the same shit, complaining and complaining and it's wild to watch it and like this is probably my second or third cycle of it and I'm like, oh, it really is just a cycle that he's coming in and complaining about this shit and it hasn't changed. All right, cool, cool, cool, no, no, no, that's. That's good. Good to know. Speaking of which, let's go ahead and roll right into what you're creating now. This is the current mindset section, where I ask my guests how are your thoughts on your current content? You got any goals that you're pushing towards with some mindset piece like for you right now?

Speaker 2:

This answer is going to be a little nathy. Oh hey, I love it. Yes, I cannot wait, let's go. So I have two partnered YouTube channels. So I have the terrible gaming channel. I work really hard to get the partner on and I got it. And it's in the day that I got YouTube partner I realized I really don't like making gaming content.

Speaker 1:

Oh my God, you were talking to like 17 people, right? What does mean continue? Yes?

Speaker 2:

So I had to be honest with myself. I was like I really like the journey to get the partner was enjoyable because I was so doing something I never did before. I was sitting down on my computer playing a game and editing every single night to get the content I was uploading like three or four times a week and being very, very consistent, and the channel had had just grown to epic numbers. But as soon as, as soon as I got the email saying you're a YouTube partner.

Speaker 1:

I was like I really not. I'm really not enjoying that's wild, but I'm glad you recognize that though. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

And I'm and to this day I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do with that channel. Because it's like I do like games. I just don't care to make content around it. I just I like gaming to just game, right, you know, because I'll you know to be sitting, to be sitting down and be like I mean I want to play this game. All well, let me wait till I can actually record.

Speaker 2:

I was when I said that, I was like, yeah, this is not going to work. All right, I want to game at any time and just game to be gaming, Exactly. So what I did was I created a second channel, which is called Terrible Reactions, where it's just a reaction channel and, you know, which you can't monetize, really, because you're reacting to copyrighted content, right. But you know, I was like, well, what the plan is going to be is to react, and always be reacting to something trendy.

Speaker 1:

Mm, hmm.

Speaker 2:

Just to get my, my internet footprint bigger.

Speaker 1:

God, that's smart, holy shit, okay, right.

Speaker 2:

So, and it's funny too, because people will comment and be like how are you monetizing? Because you know they see the setup when they come, they click on a video and they be like the setup looks amazing, so how are you monetizing this channel? I'm not yeah, I'm a streamer, Right, I'm just doing this, you gotta die.

Speaker 1:

I'm not.

Speaker 2:

But thank you for the view and thank you for yourself, exactly Because you know and I've already got like emails for that channel, like hey, you know we want to sponsor a video. We want to. You know what's the what's the word I'm looking for.

Speaker 1:

You want to work with you or something, or say a brand deal or something like a brand deals and stuff like that, and that's how reactors make money on YouTube.

Speaker 2:

They don't make it from the ad revenue that goes. I didn't realize that. Yeah, that goes straight to the artist, which I'm fine with. Like, right, they made the content. They can get the money. I'm just, I'm just reacting so my face can be more known on the Internet. Mm, hmm, I like that. I like that so, and that has been amazing. I actually enjoy doing reactions, right, ok, yeah, and people comment and they be like, oh, maybe love, when you're dancing and you're giving feedback on or whatever you're reacting to, it looks like you're having a great time, which I am. Yeah, and, and I know I'm not going to make a red cent from YouTube from doing this, but I've got that to partner in almost less than two months. What, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:

If I had an air horn, I'd be playing a mother for me right now, that is awesome.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so it's. I haven't posted on there in two months. I took a little holiday break. Yeah, actually, actually, the next video uploads in like 10 minutes. Right, that's awesome. Hell yeah, but it's still still been growing, even when I haven't been posting, right. So I'm like you know. I got 20 more subs this week. I can take a little week off.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's what I see. That's what I want to get to, like get, let's get something that grows. Even while you're I'm taking I'm going to chill this week yeah, just let it do its thing. That's amazing.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so in which and I've been reacting to a lot of K-pop music, mm, hmm. So I'm about to slowly start introducing other genres of music and react, and I know all the K-pop subscribers will be like same K-pop, what is this? But you know. But once I get to a certain size, I can be like you know, it's still be some K-pop here, but I'm just going to slide this R being here. Yes, I'm going to slide this little drill wrapping here, you know, ok.

Speaker 1:

So I got, I got a question. The next section is lessons learned. We're not going to get there. I got so many questions, but I guess the main one. So when you start out to make this second channel, did you already have a plan to execution in mind and to decide no, no, no, no. Is it just shorts?

Speaker 2:

No, it's not. It's not a single short on that. Oh OK, they are all between like four, four, four to ten minute videos, yeah.

Speaker 2:

All right, I edited it in thumbnails and and all that. So what I did was I did have a plan when I decided to do this and I made templates for everything. I made an Adobe Premiere Pro template for reaction videos, I made a Photoshop template for the thumbnails and I template everything. So all I got to do is record it, react to it, throw it in there, make a couple cuts and all the assets are already in there. And you know, export it. And there was a thumbnail. All I'm doing is, whatever I'm using as the artist's face or anything like that, slide the last one out, slide the new one in. All the time they let you go to the channel, all the thumbnails are saying, oh, it's just got the different artists in there, bro, that's awesome, but but they're all, they're all the same, because people, when people like, like you know if you, if, if you're scrolling and then you see someone that you recognize like a K-pop artist, you like. You know my face in the corner, you know so.

Speaker 2:

I don't need to be all in the front, my face in the corner, and they see the artists, they like, they like, oh, what they what they talking about, and they click on it. I got them, yeah, and then it's done. Yeah, I got, you got to get the click. So, once I get the click then, and then they see like, oh, this is pretty dope Do and you get this, you get the subscriber. But you know, you know how YouTube is. It's still going to be people out there.

Speaker 2:

Oh, you don't know how to react, right, you ain't seen this. Or blah, blah, blah. You don't know what you talk like. Whatever, bro, thank you for the view. Thank you, yeah, oh, my goodness. So it was funny because I was reacting. I first started reacting to like I think. I think I reacted to Rye wave first. Ok, I reacted to Rye wave, and then it didn't do. It did. Ok, it did like 400 views. And then I reacted to Victoria Monet and then that did 2000 views. I'm like, ok, I'm getting somewhere. And then I reacted to a K-pop. Something told it was like, it was under trendy. Some of us told me click on trending in YouTube. Ok, it was a K-pop song, it was rapping in K-pop and sometimes I reacted to that. I was like, all right bet, so I reacted to it, and that I woke up the next morning that bad boy was like 15,000.

Speaker 1:

I'm like that's what I'm talking about. That's what yo. That is amazing.

Speaker 2:

I'm like what? Their video, 15 K, ain't even been 24 hours yet, yeah, and so you know, and I tell people this all the time YouTube consumers don't care what you want to post, right? A lot of people when they're struggling on YouTube, they're trying to post themselves a lot like hey, I did this, don't, nobody know who you are, so they don't care, right? So when that K-pop went off at you know, 15,000 views, I'm like, well, I'm about to just find the next K-pop song and react to that. And I got in the K-pop rabbit hole and the subscribers was just pouring in.

Speaker 2:

They're like, oh, he reacts in the K-pop, his next video is K-pop. So that means the next video after that probably going to be K-pop. That's what they want to see, right? So I tell people, youtube is a job Like you're, you're providing a service to the consumer. This is true. So if I put, if I was, if I was like, oh, then that K-pop did well, but I'm about to go back over here and do this R&B, then they like, ok, that was a one off, cool, he was cool, but I'm not coming. I'm not coming back, right, right.

Speaker 1:

I never actually thought about it like that. When you put it in that service like yeah, I'm, there's a million of you, I'm not coming back, right man. So what's the name of the channel? Again A terrible reactions, amazing. I I remember when that for when I channel got I didn't realize it was two months, but I remember you posted on Twitter that it went did you got partnered on? I was like damn, he just spun that thing up, that's amazing, but holy crap.

Speaker 1:

Like I I was just talking to my wife about this I struggle with like I'll hear an idea in my head and then I will analyze the fuck out of it and then end up not doing it. And I need to just start going with the idea and I feel like that's what you did with this K-pop thing. You're like you know what I'm going to react to this? Didn't they, didn't analyze it, did it and to get rewarded for it.

Speaker 2:

Like because it was something. It was something that Kevon Stays said one day. That just stuck with me. Kevon Stays said your job is to get the content out. Everything else after that is not your responsibility how the algorithm work, who clicks, who likes, who subscribed None of that's in your power your. Your job is just to get it out. So if it's sitting in your drafts, you're not doing what you're supposed to be doing. Get it out and then let everything else happen the way it happens.

Speaker 1:

That's the main there goes the promo for the episode. Thank you, tg. No problem, I'm going to go in here and off Yo, speaking of which, you've been dropping gyms. The reason. Ok, so the reason why I really love this podcast is because in these stories that we tell each other, there are so many things that maybe to you, just like this is just what I did. This is normal, but to me, I'm hearing all kinds of just like gyms dropped, and I'm hoping the listeners are picking up on some of the stuff too, because it's all about having confidence, knowing what you want. Having a point that you have a template in Adobe is a may. I never thought about that, but it makes the workload so much easier.

Speaker 2:

Yes, it definitely makes the workload easier. All your assets in there, so, like a little thing to pop up to stay subscribe. All that sitting in there. Already I got to put the video in there, cut out what I don't want and export. Love it, love it. Got to get a system going. Got to get a system going.

Speaker 1:

Got to be like an assembly line, yeah that's how this podcast has come out every week since July. I got a little system. Yeah, it don't take much. Chop it up, throw it in, make an asset and you're good to go. Yep, well, that was my lesson learned from content creation. I'm going to go ahead and swap it over to you, tg. What is a lesson that you have learned in content creation that you carry to this day, either in real life or you just utilize in content creation?

Speaker 2:

Probably more the same of just just getting the content out. I can be a perfectionist at times and I want to like mold over something over and over and over again. Right, so like for, for an example. So I'm still I'm still trying to get into into into TikTok and doing skits. So, ok, I had bought this expensive ass mixer so I can have multiple microphones. Right, and I set up. I took all like I, because I stream in my basement Used to be a man cave and I had to go all the couches out and set up like a just a blank room with green screens where I can record skits and stuff in. Ok, and I recorded.

Speaker 2:

I recorded a video about how would it be like if a man went in to get BDL's. You know a Brazilian dig live, yeah, ok, so you know the idea. The idea hit hit my head and and I recorded it and I was editing it and kept going over and over and I just wasn't liking the way it looked. And then someone just like bro, ain't nothing else you can do, post it. Right, you know if it might do a couple of views, but post it. You've been working on this too long, right.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's going to go to the next project. So I posted it on TikTok and it did 80 K. What?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yo, some of you are sweating over something that you, you just had to tell yourself to force out. Like did 80 K, that's come on.

Speaker 2:

It did 80 K and then I was like, oh shit, I might, I might actually be funny. The mixer started acting up and so now I don't have like audio in that room, so damn yeah, so it was. It was pretty much like a one to done skit until I can figure out what's. What's going on with that mixer. I had to switch back to my old mixer, which I only do one mic Right, and you know so. But yeah, that was a good lesson learned is like just just get the content out there.

Speaker 1:

Yes, I keep hearing it and it's sinking in like I. There's a few drafts that I need to just post. Yeah, I have no reason not to. That's awesome, amazing. I felt like we've heard this before, but it's again. The more people to say it, the more true it should be in your head.

Speaker 2:

Post the fucking content, just get it up, just because you're naturally going to get better as you keep working on your next project, exactly so. You go to anybody's YouTube who's been doing it for a long time and you go look at their oldest videos. It looks nothing like how it looks now. They just put now content and getting better over over time Exactly.

Speaker 1:

That's a good point to, especially if you have a YouTube channel, go look at your first video. Or if you have some access to your first stream, go look at that thing. Just just imagine how far you come.

Speaker 2:

Woo, my first string. Oh man, like I said, I didn't. I didn't look at nobody Twitch streams, I just, man, just went. I just went in. My audio was awful Camerals bad game audio to the max, yeah.

Speaker 1:

No, I didn't you talking to my wife, hello.

Speaker 2:

All right, good thing when nobody there, because they definitely exactly right, All they hear is game.

Speaker 1:

They're like nah, he knew we come back.

Speaker 2:

Right, he knew, let me get a get my ass about it, yeah.

Speaker 1:

I've said this before. I feel like a lot of advice has already dropped between the conversation, the stories we've had so far. But if we wanted to give a specific piece of word of advice to somebody out there, what would you say to them and who you talking to? Who's the audience and what would you say to?

Speaker 2:

them. I would say I talk to the streamers because, all right, I feel like with TikTok and YouTube and stuff like that, I feel like the algorithm works. As long as you're putting out meaningful content, that algorithm is going to find your audience. Twitch isn't like that, so not at all, Not at all.

Speaker 2:

So if you're coming into the game like I did and starting off with streaming, now, if I could do it all over again, I probably would do YouTube to grow the audience and then try to funnel them over to YouTube. But not everybody want to be a YouTuber. So if you're coming into ULT, you want to stream, I say the best way to do it is to be a part of a community. Find a streamer that you kind of like, want to be like, get involved in that community and enjoy your time being there, not being there because you think you're going to get some up, get some out of it, Right, Just naturally enjoy being in that community, get to know those people, get to know those streamers and naturally they're going to funnel over to your channel without you even telling them that you stream. Because when you're on the, when you're in the Twitch, chat and talking and making jokes and saying, some people going to naturally click on your name and see who is this person and when they see your channel and be like, oh, this person actually streamed, they drop your follow.

Speaker 2:

I've gotten on Twitch. I'm at about I'm at about 5k followers. I'd probably say 35 hundred of those came from while I was chatting in somebody else's stream. Damn, Are you serious? Yeah, Just just enjoying the stream and talking, you know, and then I'll. I'll lead a lead a chat or go do something and look and see my activity feed and I'm like damn, I got quite a few more followers.

Speaker 1:

You're not even streaming.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I don't, I don't. I think most of my my followers came offline. I don't think. I don't think I got to be online.

Speaker 1:

Yo, that's a flex. I don't care, that's a come on now. I don't even got to be streaming to get followed.

Speaker 2:

I tell people all the time I'm a better viewer than I am a streamer, because I I generally do. I generally enjoy being in streams. I've canceled streams so I can go to somebody else's hey.

Speaker 1:

I felt bad for doing it, but I've been there as well, like you know how do they do it what? Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Like I'd be over here.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, exactly, we could host channels Like we're hosting this one we over there now, oh, yeah, yeah, we all.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I definitely miss host there, yeah, they.

Speaker 1:

I mean, I feel like they said they didn't do anything. But yeah, I don't think it did anything for girls, right, but it was nice to see you. Yeah, was hosting it. I didn't even know this person existed. Thank, you. Exactly that's though. Well, TG, I make everybody do it, and I think you're good at doing it because you got a template, but shout out shout yourself out? What are the channels? Where is the sites you want people to do your content? Where can they find you?

Speaker 2:

All right, you can find me on YouTube at Terrible Gaming. It's under construction, but you can get a whole Hollow Knight playthrough on there. You can go to Terrible Reactions. That is an active channel. You like music and K-pop and stuff like that? Go over there and follow me over there. Twitch Terrible Gaming 123. Come over there, you're going to have a great time. You come through there. I'll be farming you that. You have a great time. You come through there and then check me out on Twitter at Terrible Gaming 4. Tweet maybe about once or twice a week, but it's no engagement farming, I ain't about that. When I tweet, it's going to be meaningful.

Speaker 1:

I love the S. Good to know.

Speaker 2:

That's a good caveat for people to know over with Twitter followers nowadays, every time I see an engagement tweet, I'll be like all right, I'm about to mute you. You don't know what I'm saying. I know what you're doing, I see you motherfucker. Did you see it was a streamer? It was a streamer. It was like a Monday. I'm looking for streamers. I can go watch their streams. Right, yeah, all this engagement and it's Thursday, same tweet. I'm looking for streamers. Did you go check out the ones you just got for Monday?

Speaker 1:

Of course not.

Speaker 2:

It was at least 2000 comments.

Speaker 1:

You're lying, oh my God, did you check my phone Right? Oh wait, I sent this out already. God damn, I'm like I'm going to mute you yeah. That's a C man and like I get it, I get it. Some people need they Twitter to be popping like that.

Speaker 2:

I guess I don't know man, you got to do that. I tell people on computer always ask me like how do you get, how do you get traction on Twitter? I'm like just be a part of conversations Because you look at my car, all my cars say 2020. I'm not that old, right, just jumping. You see somebody talking about something that you're interested to jump in the comments. Talk to the people you know and they do the same thing. If you say something they like I kind of agree with them. They're going to click your name and see your profile, drop you a follow.

Speaker 1:

Exactly. I think the biggest thing that I've learned over the couple of years of doing this is people are scared to network.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Like they're scared to start that conversation, they're scared to put themselves out there and it's going to be way harder to grow if you don't do that shit.

Speaker 2:

Exactly, exactly. You have to get people to know who you are. Exactly. Yep, I don't know. You know, you know who Duke Dennis is, yeah, yeah. So I was watching the interview with Duke Dennis the other day and they asked them they're like you had to start over tomorrow, do you think? Do you think you can make it as big as you are right now? He said, yeah, give me three months. Three.

Speaker 1:

That's what I'm talking about.

Speaker 2:

He was like three, like three months. I was like you, you pull in my leg. He was like no, did he explain how you do? He's like yeah. He was like anything can't do, I'm reacting to it. Whatever amp do it, I'm reacting to. Whatever RDC do it, I'm reacting to it and I'm putting it on YouTube, twitter and TikTok. That's smart. I'm like he's Me not wrong.

Speaker 1:

It's just dropping knowledge for free.

Speaker 2:

But he not wrong. Like you have to. You have like. People don't want to Jump on trends because they feel like that's cheating, but that's how people find you right even if, even if you're like a travel vlogger Right if you're saying if your title is hey, we went to this local park, don't nobody care, right?

Speaker 2:

Nobody know who you are, nobody care about that local park. Now you say, hey, check out what we did at Disney world. And people are searching Disney world and see yes, and then so they came for Disney world, but they come back for you, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, like the.

Speaker 2:

Disney World information and then got to know you in the process and like, no, you're, this is pretty cool person. Let me subscribe so I can be there for their next video, exactly on that.

Speaker 1:

Like back when I was in IT and worked, I talked to the marketing department my old job and they said they did this cheat code thing where let's say that same example, your travel blogger, if let's say I'm gonna say it, and I think I saw your tweets so you know what I'm talking about let's say, drake does something and you can somehow relate that to your niche, you do that, you make that video and, like you said, they'll see your video. You're kind of talking about drinking, like this ain't really got nothing to do with travel blogging, but you're in a nice location and then they go click your profile and then maybe you get a follow out of that. Yep, I'm gonna start doing that shit.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I remember when, when Cizzor came up with the kill bill video and I just tweeted I'll just tweet it. Just you know, I was like it's a good ass, good ass video, like 20,000 likes on it. Everybody was checking out that video at town. So when people search at Cizzor, they just came across my tweet. Mm-hmm, it was just just liking it, right. So sometimes you just have to hop on trends to try to Get. You know, get traction.

Speaker 1:

Exactly. I think, like he said, the thing to remember is it's not you oh, I'm the trend guy no, you're getting your face out there so people can get to know you, get to know your personality, and then that's where the follows come from. Exactly, I love it. That's perfect. Yeah, I can't say it better myself. Um, let me, let me do this. I'm gonna give a shout out to the podcast.
