Welcoming Back BossuVersus
Speaker 1Welcome . Welcome back to another episode of Uploaded and Unfiltered , the podcast in which I , your host Jermaine , interviews another content creator . In regards to the journey thus far , Today marks a special episode because this is the first time in 89 episodes that I've had a returning guest to the podcast . It is one of my favorite people in the world and he was like hell , yeah , I'll do it . I didn't even finish asking him the question . He was like yeah , I'm there , but without further ado . I'm going to read his bio , which he switched up because that's what he does , and we'll get him on the podcast and we'll start this conversation . Rootin' Tootin' , Huntinghorn , Dooten , GreatSwordSlangin , HabitualMasher and the one and only mad clown of content , BossuVersus , here to make you laugh , think critically and grab your cape all at the same time . What ?
Speaker 2I'm afraid to do he embodied it .
Speaker 1Let me bring my homie to the podcast , boss . What's up , man , how you doing , doing well , doing well , man .
Speaker 2Hearing you did 89 episodes .
Speaker 2that what you said yeah , 89 episodes , man , that's consistency , and commitment , hell yeah , baby it's proud and it's something that you are like those of you that know crip , those of you have been listening . It's something that he preaches all the time , and it's about consistency consistency , doing stuff that you may have been afraid of doing before , just letting that go and just putting out there , because once you get it out there , you ain't got to worry about it . No more , it's off of you and onto somebody else . It doesn't matter how the world receives it . So , exactly , big ups to big ups to my brother , crit .
Speaker 1Yo , I appreciate that , man , and uh , it's wild to uh think about where we were when we did that first episode , like eight or some shit , to where you are now . Man , I feel like you are finally from the outside looking in . I'll let you speak on it from the outside looking in , like you are happier than I've ever seen you when you're making content . Your streams have been on it , don't matter what you're playing like , the comedy is there , the feels is there , the conversation is there , and not only what you're doing with monster hunter , what you're doing with mouth , like . I feel like you got your hands in a lot of pots right now . So break down two things for me what you're up to right now as far as everything that you're touching
Finding Happiness in Content Creation
Speaker 1, and how , how's it feeling for you yeah , for sure .
Speaker 2So you mentioned it just now . Like me , coberg , nine blue satire , all them , all them homies . We have been working tediously on Main Academy Wrestling Federation . Mal Crypto is a part of that . He has a character in that . He's a part of my faction , the circus , and I've been basically pretending to be an internet clown wrestler for the past three years and it's been amazing .
Speaker 2It's been one of my best creative outlets . While it probably doesn't show on my socials like YouTube or anything like that , I'm able to put on and write a story for people to be entertained by . And I think having that as an outlet and a space where people can just you can just put your content out and people won't judge you for being you , and I think that's kind of where , like , the clown persona came from right . It started off as a joke in season two of this and I was like yo , you know what . I'm going to use this in a therapeutic way . I'm going to use this character , this mad clown boss who , as a character , to express my feelings , express my worries , express my journey of like finding myself again and kind of going through all that stuff . And because it's a clown , you know , I can be whoever I want to be . Yeah , and that's been , that's been my like , my , my motto , doing that content and that is translated or transitioned over to the things that I do here and I am a lot happier because I am having those places where I can release and feel and be me .
Speaker 2And the biggest , another big thing that I've started doing is I've included my family more .
Speaker 2I think the streaming world and my personal life have become , have been , separate and you want to keep it that way for most of the part , but in the house I kind of felt like I was living two separate lives and my wife would say that , right , I don't even know these people and she's still you know , she's still kind of you know , because I try to , I try to include as much as I can , but it's just like you know I'm up late , I'm doing whatever you know , whatever hours of the night and times when she's on and when I talk about y'all and how happy I am to you know , be around y'all .
Speaker 2You know she's like well , I don't know who they are , but I'm glad you're happy , but bringing my sons on stream and having them be so accepted by all the communities and them playing with like my friends , like Blue and Icky and them . That's been a big thing too , so they get excited for that , and so that's put me in the headspace where I was like yo , I can do anything I want to do . I could be anything I want to be , because I have the support of not only my family but the family that I've made on the Internet , yeah , and so , like you said , I am in a much happier space . I'm doing a lot of the things that I want to do , and I think that's what's making me happy too .
Speaker 1Yeah , I think when we first started this content , like I think for me like to really jump into it , I did YouTube before I did streaming , but that was just me fucking around . I didn't know what I was doing . When I did Twitch , like when I was on that two , three year run , I was like on it every day .
Speaker 2I was definitely doing shit I didn't want to do and I remember having this conversation with you me , you and chris had this conversation where I felt like I was locked in or stuck in the fighting games . Yes , and it was at a time where it's so funny because how times have changed I , we grow our content me , you and chris grow our content and start expanding out to different branches , and we are in a golden age of fighting games yeah , yeah , yeah , people actually want to see fighting game , yeah it is .
Speaker 2People actually want to see fighting game content , but it's because we left . I think we the problem .
Speaker 1Yeah right , they were like , hey , man , y'all ain't deserve this . So I mean , I was looking at that today . I was like , damn , we had a whole thing set up . But honestly and I was telling my wife about this I , any of us , were in a space to do what we needed to do as a group because , like there's , we are so multifaceted , like you like wrestling , you like pokemon , you like monster hunter , you like there's a bunch of shit that you got under your belt , and same with me and same with chris , like , I think , trying to lock ourself into jets fighting games for me I was like , and I really like wrestling was a thing that I've always loved but I just never talked about and you know the horror story I always thought I was told by Mark Henry and Mae Young with the human hand .
Speaker 1That's what killed wrestling for me , and it took .
Speaker 2Kohlberg to bring me back . And that's true , I'm so glad that I'm back because my sons love it and it's something that we can bond over ,
YouTube Growth and Streaming Strategies
Speaker 2not only like video games , but it's something I bonded with my father over and like everything is just coming full circle and I'm like , like you said , I'm in a very happy part of my life , whereas you know , you know me a couple years ago I was like I was like everything was depressed , but I was listening . Like just last year I was oh , my goodness I was .
Speaker 1I was like concerned , I'm like cause I was doing the same , which was crazy , like daily rotation of Kendrick , and I'm like hold on , man , where's boss mindset ?
Speaker 2And all this right , you look at that little sidebar discord . It's counting me out . Play it 20 times . I'm like oh no .
Speaker 1So I sent you my over there , but no , I worked it self out . Yeah , yeah , for sure , for sure . That's fucking crazy . So how many do you have a goal of ? Like ? How many pieces of content you want to put up a week , or what's that looking like for you right now ?
Speaker 2I definitely have a guideline .
Speaker 1I do not follow it .
Speaker 2Yeah , so my rule in my head is for every stream , I should be able to make at least one video and three shorts .
Speaker 1Oh yeah .
Speaker 2And I should put those out a week . Have I been doing that ? No , I'll do the shorts because it's easy and quick . But the day to day is so you know , you got kids . You know Exactly , I don't have time to be like sitting down and editing stuff , unless I got like free time during the workday or like before . Like even last night , before stream , I recorded this monster hunter video because a comment was made about , like monster hunter etiquette and I was like , yeah , I can do it real quick , but like to sit down and just like edit a video and even for you , like I know , you know , editing in this podcast it's a time sink . Editing is a time sink and sometimes we just not , we don't have that kind of bandwidth because our family needs us as fathers and , you know , and husbands . So I've been doing the , I've been doing the best that I can and I'm just lucky that my shorts be carrying .
Speaker 1Hell , yeah , Um , I'd also know that we didn't talk about it , but you've been pushing hard on YouTube . You've been every time you stream Monster Hunter . Are you up on YouTube ?
Speaker 2Yeah , I am up on YouTube , uh , every stream , every time I shoot monster hunter . I'm not ready for the boys to go up on youtube yet because it's such a that youtube comments are such a hellscape . But you know , monster hunter goes up , it's big on youtube and on twitch right now , so I might as well take advantage of that . And it's been showing on the back end for analytics wise , and I've been trying to grow this monster hunter channel even before wilds was even announced . So it's been showing on the back end for analytics wise , and I've been trying to grow this Monster Hunter channel even before Wilds was even announced . So it's like this is a perfect time to kind of , you know , give that thing a little stimulus package .
Speaker 1Yes , exactly Exactly . Speaking of YouTube growing a YouTube , I've also not every stream like Boss I need to get on that but the times that I did stream to YouTube , you definitely see a tick up in numbers , Even if , like , I'm bad about promoting my shit I need to get better about that . But the randoms that come through like they'll hang out on the hill , they might not talk , but you see those numbers grow . So that on top of shorts is it's feeling like , oh , I'm about to be make the same partner like in a few months because , like you , keep putting that content up .
Speaker 2That shit just is just just gross , like organically , and I figure
The MAW Wrestling Federation Journey
Speaker 2, even though I'm not putting out that 20 minute video , like I said , if I'm streaming , there's something going up , exactly , and if somebody watches , if somebody watches that for two minutes and somebody watches for three , if somebody starts laughing and watches it for 10 minutes , you know of a four hour stream , right , dog , that's , that's watch hours . I don't care . Something is something is up for them to consume , whether it be the stream or shorts . And then I'll do . You know , I do these little small , digestible bites , so that's been helping for the monster in our channel and it's kind of crazy , like you said , like you're sort of a YouTube stream and let's keep it funky , like I know a be looking at them .
Speaker 2Yeah , I'm not , I'm not gonna leave it up to fate . You know , like it's a working click . I need to know if I'm like what I ? Because I think we're tinkerers , right , so we kind of like , we like to see what works and what's not working , and we're we're not we're not unwilling to not like if something's not working , we'll get rid of it exactly we'll change it up and we're not too like committed to that type of thing as far as conscious space , because we know at our age we ain't got a lot of time left for this .
Speaker 1I'm not waiting six months to see if this works .
Speaker 2I'm not troubleshooting this , bro . If it don't work , it don't work Get out of here . Yeah , it's so funny . On YouTube you'll be streaming to one viewer and it'll be you . Yeah right one viewer and it'll be you . Yeah , right , you should be the one viewer for like the first hour and then the next , and then like an hour and 15 minute mark , 15 motherfuckers are sitting there and they just be there the whole stream . I'm like cool , yeah , because those watch hours get multiplied . I don't care if you don't say a damn thing .
Speaker 1Yes you don't have to engage with me , just watch right . Um , that is funny . I was about to say you mentioned it . I never put two and two together , but yes , we are tinkers . I think the problem with people looking at their numbers is they get too emotional about that shit .
Speaker 2They see it , they get caught up and feel like it's a representation of them themselves .
Speaker 1Exactly .
Speaker 2And that's not it . It's just that . Maybe it's a game they don't want to see , or maybe it's the . Maybe they don't want to be spoiled on the game , or maybe , look , maybe they don't like it .
Speaker 1I don't know , maybe that game's trash and that's a whole different story .
Speaker 2Like a whole different type of conversation . But I think anytime I see a dip in numbers , I kind of know in my head like , hey , this is a for me game . I know I'm doing this for me and I understand the drop off , but I'm hoping that I'm entertaining enough to keep them , you know , to keep them in here , and a lot of the times that is the case .
Speaker 1You don't have to answer no , you can answer it because we ain't scared to answer shit . I just had a thought . So when you play a game that is more popular , your numbers are usually up there . But when you play a game that's just for you , I personally that crowd that's there for that Just Me game . I feel like they're a closer-knit group , like I rock with them a little heavier because they know they're just here for me and I can tell because they're here with this game . Do you feel the same way ?
Speaker 2I feel the same way and I talk about Ikki a lot because ikki came in off monster hunter content and she stayed around for anything that I do now she's played .
Speaker 2She's even played games with the boys already like , yeah she , her whole mantra , her whole motivation before when she met me was she was going to be a monster hunter assistant , so she'll come in and she'll help people through their sos's or through their hard fights and then she'll just dip a random's like a random stranger . I love that she came to a stream and she never left and she said you sabotaged me , but I know that I can count on Ikki to at least come in and say hi , yeah , and just chill and clean me up . Same thing with DDLCam A lot of the mouth , people , yeah , and I think being a part of that community has helped a lot . And shout out to colbert nine , who's cultivated such a amazing community where people just support each other and hold each other up . Uh , that's it . I think , when it's all said and done , that's gonna be like his crown jewel of that community .
Speaker 1So yeah , I don't think people realize how hard it is to build a positive minded community like one that actually rocks with each other . Like seeing how mouth moves and like the different entities that popped up and just how invested people are with their characters still blows my mind . Like this is some shit that we've made up on the internet , that it's not real . But it is real because there's storylines , there's different characters , there's plot like uh , plot twists and like character arcs like it's it's a goddamn tv show . I can't . It's my favorite thing .
Speaker 2It's my favorite thing , it's my favorite creative outlet . Yeah uh , I don't know if you know this , but uh , our house we recently went through a house fire in mouth , yeah uh , and you got . You got beat down by a wrestling pastor who Ballistic .
Speaker 1Oh okay , I missed that . The Holy Ghost Grappler . Wow , I got beat up by God , basically . Okay , I gotta go look that up . Yeah , I don't like that . He beat
Creating Content with Family
Speaker 1you down with that chair . Oh damn , we'll have to go do some reruns , but anyways , my uh . Next question , because I'm nosy as shit where , where are you going next ? What's the plan for future content ?
Speaker 2um , so my future content I am gonna incorporate fighting games back a little bit more . I am you know this , but I think majority of people don't know this that I was in a car accident back in august , lost functionality in my wrist for a while back on rehab , only got like two , three sessions left of rehab and then they're gonna let turn me loose . Good , but I'm I'm 100 clear to do whatever I want to do . Just , you know , if there's pain , you know whatever fighting content is coming back , especially with you know tech , and there's pain , you know whatever Fighting content is coming back , especially with you know Tekken . Booming Street Fighter's getting a new character . We got City of Wolves coming . So my plan for that is to really start doing this Hitbox series . Yeah , send me a Hitbox . I cannot do King stuff on the Hitbox Shit , really I cannot . I can do combos , I can't do grabs . That sucks well , not from the second player side anyway yeah yeah , but I got that coming .
Speaker 2Obviously , more monster under contact . That stuff is going to keep booming as long as it's popular and even if it wasn't , I would play it . I love that . That's my one of my favorite series , right , and then just doing more stuff with my boys . I think eventually we will have our own like little channel where I could put it up because he knows he wants to show off to his little friends .
Speaker 1Right .
Speaker 2The .
Speaker 1Bouncy Boys Exactly .
Speaker 2So I'll probably make a separate channel for that , but just a lot of that going on . I know we talked about the idea of doing TwitchCon , so I may be out there . I don't know yet . I don't know yet because we got to get this money right , right , same .
Speaker 1TwitchCon is expensive . It is . Is this in Cali ?
Speaker 2again this year . Yeah , it's in San Diego again , so it's expensive and I heard the food sucks .
Speaker 1It does suck . Yeah , I'm going to be 100% honest with you . If you tell me you're not going , I'm not going to TwitchCon . So I already told my wife I was like I'm playing it by ear . If boss tells me in enough time that he's going , then I'm going to make my ass out of there . But other than that , bro , it's still on the menu .
Speaker 2It's still on the menu and I'm trying to freak it somehow .
Speaker 1My mother-in-law was talking about doing a family trip and I was like when , trying to go to this damn convention , I'm like , alright , yeah , listen , but my goal , like , even if I don't see you at TwitchCon , I'm not gonna say I want to see you , period , but I'm trying to see my homies this year in any places I can . I think a lot of people are going to DreamCon in Atlanta , I think that's . I don't remember the name of them shits , but I'm gonna try to hit that up . I'm just going to try to do one this year . But I like I told my wife I was like boss goes to the fucking Twitch con . I'm going to Twitch con , even if it's for a
The Real Talk About Mental Health
Speaker 1day or two .
Speaker 2Yeah , I think a lot of people go to the DreamHack too . Yeah , Is that the no ? Dreamcon is an RDC one . The other one is DreamHack . That's the one .
Speaker 1Yeah , DreamHack is something else . That's the one I'm talking about in DreamHack .
Speaker 2Yeah , so there's DreamHack Atlanta and then I think there's one in Dallas too , gotcha . Okay , I know the one in Atlanta , cole , they be going . That's a lot of the like the mob folk , you know . All right , they down south exactly . Uh , that's what that's . If I were to go to one in any other convention other than twitch con , it'd probably be dreamhack atlanta , gotcha all right .
Speaker 1Uh , usually we do a lessons learned here , I . I have a different question for you , though . Has there been anything that you worked on in the last like six months that you were hesitant to and you put it out anyways ? Or or you didn't put it out like anything that caused any hesitation when you were like I'm working on this , I see the vision and something stopped you from putting it up , or you had a little friction before you did ?
Speaker 2I think I take a lot of risks with this , uh , this mouth stuff , and so a lot of the times when I'm excuse me , a lot of times when I'm putting stuff up , I've been touching those emotional heartstrings and a lot of people maybe not know or maybe they do . These are like . What I'm displaying are things like growing pains or growing points that I've had in my life as far as , like , mental health is concerned . I think I've told you this before . I think I said in the last I or growing points that I've had in my life as far as , like , mental health is concerned . I think I've told you this before . I think I said in the last I didn't even know anything about mental health , anxiety , depression until 2020 .
Speaker 2Right , and we were forced when we were locked in the house and we were forced to sit in here and look at these four walls and we didn't have anything to distract us , you know Exactly . And so it's been a sit here and learn me for four or five years and most recently , I put out a . I put out a promo that's what we call them in mouth , where a I was in my character , was in my subconscious , subconscious as my clown character , and I , in my subconscious , I saw myself yeah , and it was . It was the person that I saw was season one boss , like the one with the yes .
Speaker 2But it was , but it was indicative of when I very first started streaming and I had the galaxy headband on , I had the hair , all that , the glasses , and it was a conversation that I've had with myself a lot and it's like learning yourself , learning to love yourself . When somebody asks , what , like what did you love most about this world ? Why are you not putting yourself on that list ? Exactly Like that , that type of thing . And it was that kind of thing and it was that kind of conversation and even recording it , I was like choked up , I was crying and , um , I put it out . Hell , yeah , I put it out . And , man , when I tell you the reception was yeah , it's what I needed it to be . Exactly yeah , it was , it's what I needed to be .
Speaker 2Cause that that was like you know , I , I'm still hard-headed , I ain't gonna lie so hard . I like I put some dirt , I put some dirt on it , right , that's my attitude towards it , yeah , but uh , yeah , it was big for me because it was finally like me recognizing like , hey , it's okay to not be okay , even though you say that you have to still love yourself . You have to put yourself first in a lot of situations , because if you don't love yourself , nobody will . Nobody will Exactly , you know what I'm saying ? Like that's the biggest thing for me and like the biggest like . I was like really hesitant on putting it out , but I just I just did it , cause again cultivated this environment where you feel motivated to do something like that , you won't be judged too critically , even if you are apprehensive .
Speaker 1Yeah , I , I remember that and I remember you talking about it and just hearing like the you inside your self-conscious talking to yourself that's just some next level movie type shit . But that is something nobody like I say 10 years ago . I don't think that's in our brain to do Like I'm not doing that , I'm not thinking that hard not at all , I'm not I'm not , I'm not looking that with that that deep within , because I'm too worried about you .
Speaker 2Know my next move exactly ? I gotta do like surviving the next day , like that type of thing . And even though , like I've been years removed away from the hood , you never , you never lose that sixth sense . You never stop looking over your shoulder , you never stop worrying about if somebody's out to get you or something like that . It never goes away . And so when you're in the suburbs with two kids and a wife who doesn't know anything about that , you look like a crazy person .
Speaker 1Agreed . Yeah , that was . I think that was probably one of the hardest things being in a relationship with my wife . Being in a multiracial relationship is there's things that we see as black men that if we say it out loud it sounds crazy as fuck . But over the years , like I think my wife has seen , I'm like you see , you see this interaction right here . This is how this is making me feel and she's starting to understand more and that's because I looked in like again , I wasn't always a mental health dude .
Speaker 1I was like I don't give a fuck about shit , like I didn't care , like my I didn't care , like was affecting life . So once I started looking inside and like trying to figure out who I was and how I wanted to show up in this world , then I was able to figure out some things that , like racially motivated , I was like oh , this is why I'm pissed off all the time here and shared that with my wife . So like I am grateful that I'm with somebody who's actually willing to listen and not just go straight to the no , you're a crazy person . Like , what are you talking about ?
Speaker 2and I think that's the biggest thing for me as well . My wife is very understanding of that and she knows like she knows how I grew up and she knows where I grew up . I remember I took it to a block party on the old block . I grew up and the first thing they said I ain't't going to say my real name , but they said my nickname . You brought a snow bunny down here . I'm like wow you walking around with them . Pink toes .
Speaker 1I said I got to get up out of here .
Speaker 2Oh shit , hold on , because at first they was trying to holler at my wife and this was before we were married and they was like , oh , that's Petey's son .
Speaker 1I was like never took her back down there .
Speaker 2Yeah , that's what I was like .
Speaker 2Yeah , I'm done with this , but that's funny um , but yeah , it's like things that that we , like you said , we notice on our day-to-day , like this interaction , or like everywhere we go be a spectacle , like I have to . I have to constantly tell wendy , uh wife like , hey , because we are married , you are now part of that spectacle now . So when they see us together , laughing kiki and holding hands , they're like , hey , I wonder how that happened . Or hey , I wonder what he did to get her , or how this whole thing happened . And you're going to see people's minds start doing like the math when they see you with your kids and like , as you know us , we we train to be , have our head on the slope at all times and this is the way we grew up , because we know like the way we grew up and I won't speak to you , but I grew up like we know the world is out to get us .
Speaker 1Right , that's how , yeah , that's how we raise Like the world is out to get us .
Speaker 2Even if people have the best intentions , we were raised to like , hey , don't let somebody get the best of you and you have to be able to weather the storm , that type of issue . So that never really goes away and that's so hardwired to our DNA , right , just based off like how our ancestors and stuff like that were treated , and it's like it's hard to shake that . So when you hard code it looked like that and then you like something as simple as like crossing the street , like I know if my wife crossed the street right now she had to look both ways . That guy don't stop .
Speaker 1Exactly If I step . If I step , they go hey they might not even look up before they know . Before I'm on , I just had that thought did that really happen ? That must have happened , because , like I have that , just thought , like yo , look both ways , because what if this is the dude ? Just don't give a fucking , just like guns it . That had to happen .
Speaker 2I don't know if it's happened before , but I've had experience where they do not look up for you like they , they , they are just going because you know who cares yeah , yeah , exactly , yeah , honestly yeah , oh , I didn't see you there .
Speaker 1Yeah , I know Me too . Yeah , hey , check out Monster Hunter . Monday , wednesday , fridays on Bossy Versus it gets wild .
Speaker 1My freeze almost came out Shit . No , I'm glad to see where you are , in the space that you are , even though I know you keep saying like you are hard headed . I don't know . You made a lot of strides to where you are now and that video alone , that promo that you did alone , like that , takes a lot of growth to put yourself into something like that , have that conversation and then say I'm going to share this with my peoples . That's what I want to do with this shit that we're telling ourselves .
Speaker 2And once you jump over that , then you
Future Content Plans and TwitchCon
Speaker 2get to go to the happy spot where you're making content just because it's fun to do I think I think at this point in , I think we're in different spaces , like as far as , like , content creators that are coming out now are newer maybe than younger content creators , where and we both went through this know early on where we were looking to , like , network and grow . And I think now we're doing me and you are doing less of that and looking for genuine connections . Yes , and I think that has helped a lot because when you make those genuine connections , you know you can guarantee those people are going to show up and as long as they show up , that that number that we talk about , that people are scared to look at it Like let's , let's keep it funky . Like , if you have , if you have one person in your stream or three people in your stream versus Finn , uh , people that you actually mess with you , the hierarchy on that list from cause people is already high .
Speaker 1Yes .
Speaker 2They're going to see you before , maybe one or two scrolls before that person that has three .
Speaker 2So , just make sure you make it , those genuine connections , because that was that's what matters , more than running your numbers up . Like that's why , like , when people talk about doing like partner pushes , like I'm like man , that's still , that's a , that's a hollow , that's a hollow , that's a hollow push and like it's very push and like it's very . There's very few instances where I'm like , yeah , he could do it and I think he'll retain this actor like Felix Witt was one of those where I felt like he did that partner push and I know those people are going to stay . Goateezy is another one where I think they're going to stay . Your boy , alec Kazamkin , got the .
Speaker 1He got he came right there and listen he's sitting on .
Speaker 2Well , I want to do all these things before I shut up . Were you in his stream yesterday ? Yes , and I was telling him because he's like man , well , if it just go , if it go away , go away . No , no , why would you dog ? You got the golden ticket to willie wonka , yes , and this , and you just gonna be like man . I'm gonna wait till the expiration date , right , and then go to go to next day . No , it only tracks the last 30 , the past 30 days , so the longer date , and then go to the next day . No , it only tracks the past 30 days , so the longer you wait . And not to mention , there's a processing period . There is a letter that you have to write to say why you want to be partner . Yeah , I know that .
Speaker 2You have to write why you want to be partner . Yeah , and all of that is going to take place while that thing is still in effect , so apply now while you have listen , listen , I'm gonna hit him up today like you do it .
Speaker 1Yet like what's going on ? Man stop playing these young motherfuckers ?
Speaker 2yeah , they don't understand how time works .
Speaker 1Goddamn , shout out to that light skin . Yeah , for real , one thing I do want to talk about and I don't know if this is going to make sense , but we still try to make it since time , the time from where it just was , uh , let's say , august , august of last year I was in florida , like , and that's when we decided , you know what , we're fucking moving the time from that to where I'm at now . It doesn't seem like it exists , like it seemed like it was yesterday , bro said , I ain't gonna lie , I be pocket watching .
Speaker 2Sometimes I be like yo . Why is Crip House so big Bro ? Bro , like cause I'm looking at the housing market , cause , like I don't want to say too much . But the reason why the Twitch is Twitch kind of up in the air is because we gonna take a look at Seattle for a little bit and see , check the vibe it's a vibe check .
Speaker 2It's a temperature check first and if we like it then we start talking about that . But gotta get out this red state . Yeah , exactly , exactly , man , I'm looking at you and I'm like man he outside in this yard .
Speaker 1I said how big is hell .
Speaker 2You look at the kitchen . Got the aisle I said , damn man , this shit , what's ?
Speaker 1going on .
Speaker 2Because the housing market is insane right now .
Speaker 1We got lucky , like we had maybe a month before it got , because we looked to see how much we would buy this house now and we wouldn't . It's insane .
Speaker 2Like you want k for a for a two-bedroom , one and a half bath hell , nah , dog , no , absolutely not . I said hey , how you feel about ? You feel about mobile homes . My goodness , how you feel about mobile homes , how you feel about a double wide ? Hey , but they nice , they nice as hell now I mean they are .
Speaker 1I put one in the backyard .
Speaker 2We could drive away in that RV . You feel me we could live wherever we wanted .
Speaker 1You know what that was on the table for a bit , but I hate driving . I'm not driving around in a goddamn RV all around . I'll be taking it and my . That was on the table for a bit , but I hate driving .
Speaker 2I'm not driving around in a goddamn RV all around . Nah , yeah , I'll be taking it and my shit's be too big , I can't shit in the back of my RV . Not going to lie to you .
Speaker 1We got to pull over for one to two hours .
Speaker 2Sorry family , I'm going to 7-Eleven real quick , blow that shit up .
Speaker 1Oh my God , All right , be people . One piece of advice if you had to tell them one thing that's been on your heart and you're like here go and run with this floor is yours . What would you tell them ?
Speaker 2one thing I would tell y'all is hey , man , if you are , if you are scared to put something out , if you're making a piece of content and you're worried about it , best , the , the best thing to do is just put it out , because a lot of the times , the thing and I think I've heard this may be , I may be rewording something crypto already said the the best thing you could do for yourself and for your mental is just to get it off your chest . That works with content . That works with , uh , communication with your partner or with your friends . That works in all spectrums of of , in all sectors of your life .
Speaker 2Now , one thing that I will tell you , but I've learned about my content right , is that something that I probably didn't even mess with . It was like a , like an afterthought . I just put it out because I said something funny , fully equipped . Those are things to be taken off the most . So if you , if you , unsure about something , you're not , you're gonna always be a worse critic . Don't let yourself be the judge of that . Put it out and let the world be . And if you get zero , you get zero , but at least you put it out there for the world to consume .
Speaker 1So that's all I got . Hell , yeah , that's what I'm talking about , man . It's crazy how much shit that pops that I'm like . That's the one that hit Like . I didn't like that at all I hated that . Oh well , fuck it , give me that down , right .
Speaker 2Like those respect videos . I did not think . I did not think it was okay and they got to the point where I hate it . I was like man , because you know me , I like to switch it . I should just switch it up . Hell yeah . And it wasn't like people were . People were getting better at the game , they weren't , they weren't , they weren't taking it . It was like this bork .
Speaker 1That's fun . I like it , though , again to echo what boss said just put the content out , and good point getting it off your mental . Uh , there's things like around the house that'll be happening . Let me just go tell my wife this real quick , so I don't have to think about it anymore , and that should help . So I I love that advice . Well , boss , we have made it to the end of this section or this uh show . I could do this all night , all day . Thank you for showing up and doing this with me . I highly appreciate it . I tell my wife all the time I'm lucky to
Genuine Connections Over Networking
Speaker 1know some of the motherfuckers in my life , and that's you included , so I appreciate you .
Speaker 2I appreciate you . Family , Thank you for having me on . You know I was chomping at the bit to get over here . You said that thing . Huh , Let me go there . Let me get this back on there , Do you have ?
Speaker 1anything coming up late ? I think your episode is going to go up next week , so do you have anything that is coming out that you want to shout out , or just the channels in general ? Let people know where they can find you .
Speaker 2Yeah , I'm on Twitch Monday , Wednesday . Actually , I got to change that up .
Speaker 2I'm so hardwired to say Monday , wednesday , friday , but I'm also streaming at 10 pm Central Time . I'm playing a lot of Monster Hunter , but that may change up because I do have some incentives to make up for . But on Sundays , as a little palate cleanser , around 10 am on Central Time , I do streams with my sons . We're called the Bossu Boys , so Bossu Boys play and we are hard-locked on Fortnite . Right now they use some Fortnite . If you missed last week , if you missed last Sunday , my three-year-old sniped a guy , a moving target , from across the lake . I got the dub . He's been talking about it for the past . Holy crap , okay , but that's what I'm doing with my stream stuff . As far as content is concerned , I'm really pushing the boss who bonks channels youtubecom slash boss who bonks , doing a lot of monster content there . And of course you know tick tock . I'm scared to be promoting my tick tock just because I don't know where it's going to be .
Speaker 1They didn't shut up about this 30 day thing and they ain't really talking about it .
Speaker 1So uh , but I'm on tick tock as well as boss versus a box who bonks for my center content podcast and , as always , if you haven't already either shared this podcast with your friends or subscribe to the podcast , upload and unfiltered . We're here every week . I don't see any signs of stopping and we'll have more guests and I plan on bringing panels to the show eventually . I already told so . My goal was to get blue on for a single . He's gonna be on in a couple weeks , then I want blue , cold and bossu and , if they decide , if anybody else needs to come through on that , I I need to have a mouth conversation because I have so many that's gonna be in .
Speaker 2Yeah , yeah , I know my paddle I'm not editing shit , I'm just gonna we're just gonna shoot it and put it up those two are so funny together , yeah , and we get us all together , oh my god , I'm , I'm excited .
Speaker 1I can't wait . I've been wanting to do this for like six months , but full disclosure , I didn't know how to get in contact with blue outside of uh streaming now is that why I couldn't get him ?
Speaker 2yeah , blue , blue , high profile . Now he doing , he doing our official Twitch streams . Now that makes sense . That makes sense . And you know what ? Shout out to Blue .
Speaker 1Hell yeah .
Speaker 2Because anytime Blue gets put in a position like that , where he's in front of a lot of people , he's always reaching back down in the community . And reaching back down , he's always showcasing his homies yes , like it's never just about him . So when he was on that , Twitch that .
Speaker 1That twitch official stream um with ash .
Speaker 2He showcased me and me and cole he had to do that , he didn't do that and like , just based off of that , like anytime I get in a position where I'm like in front of a large group of people , I'm always gonna show off my homies . I'm always gonna showcase them and that's why , like when I'm doing this monster content , people like the royal josh icky , sammy alakazam , uh you . I'm always making sure that I'm like hey , check out this person , because they're funny . They're not just funny here , they're funny in general .
Speaker 1Right , yeah , no , that's what it's about and I love that he has that persona about him and like , hey , that's who I want to be when I get into those bigger spots , bigger rooms .
Speaker 2Like , hey , these are my homies , all of them are hardworking . What can we do to get them some work ? So blue really needs to be studied . He really needs to be studied because he's moving and getting opportunities as a partner , as an affiliate . Yeah , like , and it's just because the type of person he is and people just like blue and blue is not a bad , like , he's a good dude and when you , when you that type of person , of course things are gonna come your way and I think his come up needs to actually be studied .
Speaker 2Yeah , and I want the .
Speaker 1I want the first edition of that book , yeah well , we will be analyzing that on the show when I get him on here . Because again , I thought I'm not , I'm not gonna lie . I thought he was partnered on um twitch from the moves that he's making . And then I look I'm like , oh , you just work hard . All right , got it . Cool , that's an ass dog . I was like , get it . I thought he was full time , he had a whole ass job and shit . I was like , oh , we need to talk because I was misinformed .
Speaker 2I'm missing some lore , yeah , right .
Speaker 1But that brings us to the end of the show . Thank you again , boss , for doing this . This episode will be up , nice and lean and Leonette , I'm not adding shit , it's 40 minutes . We're just throwing this hoe up .
Speaker 2Put some music on both ends Ain't no downtime

Speaker 2That just changes your perspective for the better , but uh , yeah , first , show and not to talk too much on it , but that I think that was the trigger point for me . Just like yo , I just gotta ride for homies that are like have a genuine connection .
