Baylen Levine Interview

they'll see one day i'm about to [ __ ] cry dude because in that moment dude everyone the whole community frowned on me every parent shunned my mom all right well let's start from the beginning bailin levine is that your full name or you have another middle name what's your middle name lowell i want to legally change it to captain though i don't want to do that for a video captain levine captain levine yeah what would your parents think of that they wouldn't give a [ __ ] you don't think lol comes from something well yeah my dad's middle name's level but like well you don't think that came how legendary it would be if my middle name was captain yeah how much does that cost captain i don't know i haven't really looked into it i don't feel like a lot you have to pay to change your name honestly for the beginning i feel like we should just talk about stuff about you like get that out um your friends are probably curious about a lot of things so we're gonna i wanna ask you things like that they're probably wondering yeah and then in the back half after you think like you've told it all i wanna just get your opinions on regular topics that don't really have anything to do with you but just do it we'll talk about it if you don't mind me asking what's your financial situation like with the whole youtube thing like how many of your videos get demonetized none recently really yeah how many of your videos get age restricted none yeah i didn't think anything i mean in in the beginning i didn't give a [ __ ] like in the beginning i would throw in like copyrighted music all the time and then like i put noah's ass as a thumbnail and that got demonetized all my moaning [ __ ] gets demonetized but other than that my moaning [ __ ] gets age restricted just me moaning i don't know why but no uh but i really like i said before i hate talking about money like i don't know i'm sorry no no no it's fine i don't hate it i'm just like i never want to be like oh i have a lot of [ __ ] money you know what i mean i hate that [ __ ] but then again we were talking about me and dylan we're talking about in this hot in the hot tub is sometimes i feel like i should say it because it motivates people like if if yachty and [ __ ] nelk never told me how much they made i would not be like like i couldn't go to my parents to be like dude look at this so then that that that makes you be like okay you can make a living off this right because like i remember when i first showed my mom uh milk i i remember the day i did it i showed them i showed them that and they were like they don't look like they make any money like is this a legit job and they're [ __ ] killing [ __ ] exactly when they show them now because at first they weren't making money uh probably i think two years ago two years they've been doing it this [ __ ] for like six years but i think now they're making money money but yeah especially now that they kicked no but you make good nano you know now they gotta split you make you make good money at like i make good money at my at my thing yeah i hate saying that like i never no don't hate me no it's okay do you do are you just talking about straight views like monetization do you ever do sponsorship or anything yeah like what have you done who have you worked with tic-tock really yeah who reached out you reached out or they didn't no they did i always try to make it never like i never want to make i never want to make it to where it's boring like i want the ad to still be like part of the video like when i did the tick tock thing it was me and mr khan dancing so like i would put that on my story even if it wasn't an ad well i think that's why they reach out to you they want you to make content within your style yeah i make all my money from merch and youtube money is good like at first i used to not give a [ __ ] and i was like i'll just make it all for merch but like that you're too much well i'm okay honestly i want to speaking of merch i want to ask you about something look at that [ __ ] dude um he's got a [ __ ] jewel hang on i'm excited dude i had a meet up today and he had that thing out and all my fans like [ __ ] that kid get him no way to [ __ ] strangle me yeah they were they're literally like [ __ ] some kid pulled me aside he's like hey do you actually use that thing i was like no no no i was like okay that's crazy yeah i thought it was going to get real but about that merch like dude i still feel bad for talking about money like is that bad no yes no because i don't i never like i do not tell anyone it'd be different if you sat down and you're like guess what [ __ ] i just made this i asked you you're answering me yeah but still like i don't know you know like parents still think i don't make money like they just think i'm [ __ ] they're they'll never think you make money i know no i just don't think the nugget boys don't make and that's why like sometimes like i know you talked about this i am very i'm very like i guess i can't really say i'm humble like yeah i can't but i i don't know how else to say like i do not brag but sometimes i do get tempted to be like yeah guess what i do make money off this yeah well this is the time and place to brag honestly especially when someone's asking you about it how much did you make this month um no no no huh putting you on the spot bailey no dude i don't like saying that i don't think i should ever say a number i should just yeah i don't say a number don't say it okay dude how come you don't do drugs smoke weed i don't enjoy it number one you've tried them though all right i i've never tried drugs but i have drank sophomore year of high school i vaped so many of high school hell yeah and i was just like i only did it because everyone around me was doing it i was like dude [ __ ] this [ __ ] like yeah dude people who vape are losers dude i don't know how it's cool like no offense aaron but it was such a meme like it's such a [ __ ] meme dude you know why it's cool though why because it's unhealthy that's why it's cool it's not even it's like hey look at me i'm hurting my body what are you doing no dude i think now it's kind of like people frown on it now like more recently people are now really dude perfect time for frick vape to come out because it's getting exposed now perfect time everyone i mean it's like dude i wish i could [ __ ] quit so basically sophomore year of high school i did it um all before that i was always like no drugs no drugs no drugs and i was just being a dumb high schooler i was like everyone's doing it like maybe i should try it i hated it and i did it there was like a period of time where i did it a little bit like i probably drank like five times yeah i only got drunk once and i just didn't enjoy it and i was trying to be i wasn't trying to be like everyone else but it was so like all my friends were doing i was like i thought i had to do it and then i saw yadi who didn't do anything lil yachty rapper yeah yeah and he's surrounded by so many people that do like that's his whole world the whole rap culture and i was like dude if he can do it i can do it so then i just and no one's ever like people uplift it like everyone thinks oh i'm gonna get called a [ __ ] like i mean i don't give a [ __ ] but you actually get praised for it so now what i try to do is i try to be and kids actually dm me all the time and i'm like they're like oh you're my yachty you're you're my yachty cause what i want to do for them is be like i don't do it and like everyone else does you don't have to [ __ ] be like everyone else like how much fun i have like how much like without it you're right i do like so many [ __ ] kids dm me that they don't do [ __ ] because of me that makes me so happy that's awesome that was my like it's not just making videos like i want to there's so much more i want to do and inspiring kids is number one and i have such a connection with them like it's not just [ __ ] like so many people think i just [ __ ] around on the internet but in my videos i always have like real ass talks with them no yeah i saw that today at the uh at the meet up it was honestly crazy how uh you just sat everyone down you're like all right who has [ __ ] questions like that was the coolest thing ever honestly and you said i took a video you said who wants to be a youtuber 75 percent of the group raised their hands that was just so cool and you're like all right we're gonna get real for a second you gave them some tips and tricks like honestly i don't see that really anywhere i mean i'm not super intertwined i'm not super tracking a bunch of youtubers but the way i saw you personally connect today to meet up what you posted that 24 hours ago yeah yeah sorry if i'm tired you guys just kind of people showed up yeah that was crazy i feel like at a point because we were collecting people around the mall there must have been a hundred kids running through them yeah i definitely think it hit a hundred i mean we're just dude like imagine if i playing that [ __ ] for a week like that [ __ ] makes me so early and in austin have you ever been here before no that's [ __ ] crazy because i've been to that mall a hundred times i've never seen it like that i've never seen anything even kind of like that that [ __ ] like that [ __ ] makes me smile oh it's holy god dude what were some of the questions those kids ask you uh they just like how to do it um the the main two things i say are not giving up and having fun and really that's what it is dude like as long as you're being yourself and you're having fun that naturally draws people to you yeah you know what i mean and then because if you don't enjoy it like he said he like wanted to blow up so he did [ __ ] he didn't like is that okay if i say that yeah like you [ __ ] try to do the [ __ ] i do and when he doesn't like i i kind of cloud chased on world star and did some unsavory pranks to get on worldstar and it worked so i mean i'm still in get it i don't enjoy it but it was all for a purpose i enjoy what it where it took me it yeah i get that but like sometimes you have to do some things if it's for a greater mission but i don't know what you're saying for me what did you say no but like if you would you want to do that for the rest of your life absolutely not exactly absolutely that's what i said like you really like dude all the [ __ ] i do on camera is [ __ ] i do off-camera exactly since i was [ __ ] in middle school that's what she told me is like i was doing this [ __ ] before i was recording it we decided to throw the camera on yeah yeah do you remember what you asked the kids today on this topic what do you want to be in life no you said what's more important chasing the money or chasing the dream chasing what you want to do or the money the money comes with it yeah dude but how do you chase the dream when you're [ __ ] broke because when you got bills that's a great question because this [ __ ] is moving around the country living rent free sometimes even not paying for food oh dude all right [ __ ] pay for [ __ ] yeah i don't play [ __ ] explain how you so this is my view bro if i wanted to i could have an apartment in georgia right now and eat good i mean i eat good right now but like yeah totally on my own i mean i am on my own but what i'm doing is i'm bouncing around like i'll stay with my cousin for a month at his college i was with dylan for a month and then i'm going back to georgia for my birthday but then i'm gonna go to la and stay with my friend for a month and i'm just bouncing around and just saving my money saving saving saving because like right now bro everyone's in college i wouldn't have if i had an apartment dude i'd just sit there all by myself all day so i'm it's it's so much new [ __ ] and so much exciting [ __ ] because i'm constantly moving it's like little seasons like a season in florida season in texas yeah and like then i'm also saving so much money dude like every dollar i make doesn't get spent so in a year and a half i'm gonna be able to buy a house in georgia that's my main goal dude i want to buy a house so [ __ ] bad how big and then how many how big at all not big at all really three three bedrooms how does it feel to know kids think you're a god dude it's insane like bro like okay so i was eating at i don't know some pizza place and this kid's like oh can i get a picture and i'm like sure and we like talk for a little bit and i take a picture then i go back i read the dm and before he's like dude i'm going through so much [ __ ] like you mean everything to me then i think about it and i'm like yeah damn like he just [ __ ] met me you know what i mean yeah like i didn't even think about the moment i was like oh he wants a picture but then like i go back and i'm like oh my god that kid like poured his heart out to me and then he'll be random yeah before he met me and then just randomly bumps into me like imagine how cool that was for him so it was like it was an unread dm to you no i did i did read it okay yeah i read all my [ __ ] no but even more than looking at you i responded real okay yeah that's great but i didn't know it was the kid right yeah until he approached you yeah no not even until he approached me he put something on a story and then i went through our old dm's and i was like holy [ __ ] oh [ __ ] and that kid actually spent the day with me today really yeah yeah no we filmed for dylan oh yeah i saw that guy actually oh cool so he got to spend that's great yeah damn well even more than looking at you as a god like they just look up to you as a role yeah i'm not talking about the gun yeah i just didn't [ __ ] around but no i i seriously think today you changed a bunch of those kids live yeah dude everyone was saying that's the best day of my life no seriously like after today i'm sure a lot of kids were teetering i'd love to do youtube i want to be a youtuber when they saw that happen in person how you do it yeah and then when they see the vlog that comes out after it of like i was there i saw kind of the behind the scenes and then this is what it's turned into yeah they're all going to want to go do it yeah they're all going to run out and make it happen it's really [ __ ] cool honestly who do you look up to talking about looking up to god yachty lil yachty 100 yachty all the way do you want to like uh have you hit him up on the dms or what no i'm friends with a lot of people i can already tell yeah i think he's going to be down he will be but bro like his [ __ ] business is insane like he doesn't even probably make all his money from rapping from like brand deals yeah he's been in movies now right and then also the influence he has because it [ __ ] spoke to me that's why i know like what i say to these kids really resonates with them because bro when he would say [ __ ] like he was like you can do it follow your dreams like as cheesy as it is like he was like if you have a dream chase that [ __ ] and really the first time i ever was like anything i say i can do is i i used to talk my [ __ ] dude i used to say i'm gonna meet yadi i'm gonna meet yachty i'm gonna get beats in my hair i'm gonna be in the crowd i'm gonna go on stage sing a song with them give a speech about how much he means to me and like dude i don't give a [ __ ] i'm a complete fan of yachty like i'm [ __ ] totally he that that he kind of changed my life in a sense and dude but of all the people yadi i've never expected someone to say yo yo i don't even know anything it's because and that's why i think i'm so different in the youtube world is he so different from other rappers dude like so different if you notice nobody [ __ ] he's friends with everyone he's so nice yeah the sober part is so cool because that's something i don't even know he was over dude yeah he's the king of the youth that's like yeah that's what he literally made his name on twitter and [ __ ] and like so i said it to everyone and then i got on stage i sang a song with him i gave him a speech oh really yeah his dad dm me and was like that made me so proud as a father to see like this what the impact my son has and that's when i was like dude anything i say like i literally said word for what i was gonna do uh like two years ago exactly two years ago two years ago yeah and then that's when i was like i've always wanted to be famous like ever since i was little i was like i'm gonna be famous i didn't know what for yeah and then so like after that yachty time period when i got on stage after the show so many kids are asking to take pictures with me so many kids were like your speech what you said meant so much because i was like yo his he got me through some [ __ ] like i'm sober because of him and [ __ ] and like i had five seconds of like the fame part isn't important to me but like of kids coming up to me saying your speech meant so much taking pictures of me and [ __ ] and that's when i was like dude i want to [ __ ] do this [ __ ] right so i started like seeing youtubers make a living off the [ __ ] i do every day like dude i've always been [ __ ] around and oh like literally every joke that's in the vlog all the shrek [ __ ] all the [ __ ] drive-through pranks all that i've been doing since eighth grade and well i didn't drive in eighth grade well i don't even drive now but like with my friends like all throughout high school we did that [ __ ] so i was like bro they're number one making a living off doing what they love the money part's not important but obviously you have to make money in life you know what i mean like i can't [ __ ] so and that's that's the key to happiness i think is doing something you love like so many people are [ __ ] miserable coming home from their job every day my job's not even a job dude i love every [ __ ] second of it from recording it to editing it to getting the feedback but anyways i i would i would see that and then i also saw like i always wanted to have a clothing brand i tried to have a little clothing brand in sophomore of high school and i was like oh they do merch too and then they're also getting in movies and then they're [ __ ] the power they have of what they say kids really listen to and i was like dude this is exactly what i want in life and me and my friends made a group channel and you know it was just like a hobby to them but for me it was like this is what i want to do so i was put in some i'm not trying to [ __ ] on my friends but i was like [ __ ] going at it and there was a lot of fights because like they were like when we do start making money we want someone i'm doing all the [ __ ] work and it was like it was like they they helped a lot but like yeah i was i was like the main one on camera and stuff and and it was just like you know they were still they still wanted to go to college and stuff and i was just like i don't like i and that's when it really hit me is when everyone was filling out the college applications and [ __ ] i was like dude i can't [ __ ] you realize they weren't serious not for me no no not that they were serious for me but that's when i was like i gotta find something else and i always plan on going to college until i blew up because to make my parents because my parents just parents don't understand nothing against them i used to be like [ __ ] you you guys don't understand but they they that's why i feel like sometimes i should talk about money to expose the parents you know like it's a whole new wave dude these inner i make more i sound like such a [ __ ] saying that but it should be they should hear that i make more than the teachers that [ __ ] kicked me out saying i wouldn't be [ __ ] at age 18. like i remember sitting in the office when i got kicked out and well i'm not supposed to stay kicked out asked to leave yeah and they just like nobody believed in it and i remember i walked out i'm jumping all over with my story but i walked out my mom was crying like wow and i was like this is destiny yeah they'll see one day i'm about to [ __ ] cry dude in that moment dude everyone the whole community frowned on me every parent shunned my mom like the [ __ ] school the school loved me and they were [ __ ] on me and like all my friends got suspended and it kind of got all blamed on me because like i said i was the star of it so all the parents didn't want to take accountability for their kid and oh well bailin influenced him do it bail and bail him bailing right i just got shunned and i was like dude i like i have to do this now you know what i mean not to prove them like it would be cool like i did it but it was also like for my happiness i will not be happy in life if i don't do this and you know when i got asked to leave my school my mom was like you better delete the [ __ ] channel right now and my dad my dad didn't tell me this until recently but he's told her like if if we made him delete it he would forever blame us for not getting famous you know like i'd forever say well i would have done it but you guys made me delete it so they were like they were like you have to keep it clean you have to but you can keep doing it now they don't give a [ __ ] because now they see like yeah they see you prove yourself you know my my audience isn't for the parents you know would a parent go see jackass and that's what they've kind of learned is like it's middle school and high school kids watching me but also you send a really good message i do that's why i'm glad that you say like i love how much influence a youtuber can have and i love that kids will actually listen because some people want that for evil some people want the influence to spread negativity and all these you know bad uh themes you do a really good job of keeping it like inspiring and giving and setting a good example like a a mom that was at the meetup today actually said yeah my son's grounded right now but i let him calm because she likes you she watches your page because she wants to connect with her kid so she's like yeah i watch his videos and i think he's a great kid and i really appreciate that my son likes him i was like yeah that that's really awesome i agree because it would be different if you were doing manic things and setting a poor example and having all these kids ruin them all but instead you guys had fun with it you guys didn't i mean we [ __ ] around pretty hard but it could have been no we didn't [ __ ] up the mall we had some food and the cop was nice like the cop was nice but nerd baller was like you know what if there's so many kids here there's almost 100 kids here if we wanted to we could run into the game stop and take everything we could [ __ ] [ __ ] up we could have looted the intent no and there's this one kid that [ __ ] started lighting off fireworks and [ __ ] and i took him aside i took him aside and i was like bro there's a balance was that dylan no it was a fan and he was just out of control like he'd be like [ __ ] you to the cop and i'm like bro damn there's a balance because i'm all for messing around having fun but there's i know i mean i'm pretty disrespectful in videos but i'm also very respectful like there's a way to do it i never just go for someone like and i never [ __ ] am destructive or any of that because i truly believe there's a way to have fun and there is taking it too far and there is like then it's just mean and it's just gross like it's not like dude me [ __ ] jumping into the fans and us moaning like that's just child [ __ ] yeah boy humor you know what i mean but then when you're lighting up fireworks and scaring people like that's not funny so i took the kid aside and i was like bro you're going too far keep it and he listened to that and now i feel so good because he's gonna go home and when he's at school and he wants to do some bad [ __ ] he's gonna be like wait baylen said like there's a way to do it and that's yeah but to that point i mean some people would say you take it past the level to some people you're too much oh i've always been too much so how do you know how do you know i'm too much personality right we all have different levels yeah that's very important so to that kid he's like well bailey dude my level is higher like to him but i just think there's it's like when i do the pranks like sometimes i'll mess with people but i try to make me look dumb instead of like like i'll never like go for someone how they look or something you know what i mean no that's what you do your pranks will will at most just aggravate someone yeah kind of inconvenience someone it would never ruin someone it would never hurt someone now when someone's addicted to me then i go a little yeah then i go a little harder but you do nothing that's irreversible yeah i try to i really do try to treat any everyone with kindness like i'm i mess with people but and that's what so many so many people like i really the parents was what killed me like not killed me i don't give a [ __ ] but like my mom dude she would be so sad about it but now like she looks at other pranksters and stuff and she's like wow you're actually really good yeah you know what i mean like look at the [ __ ] other what they do and now they see more of just it's not dumb videos like when they see kids dm me like bro i'm depressed as [ __ ] and you brighten my day every day or i quit this because of you i don't drink because of you yeah then they're like it's so much bigger than just pranks i mean dude what do you think about the whole depression going on because a lot of people are feeling depressed man do you know why that is do you have an idea like why all these kids are feeling depressed and so young too i mean all your friends are young how are they feeling depressed that young do you have do you feel any depression do you have any problems no be honest i may cry like actually but when me and my girlfriend broke up dude it was like [ __ ] up actually yeah it was dark like really dark because i put all my happiness into her and now it's like bro i'm so happy right now because i learned like i always preach happiness i always do this but near the end of our relationship i found myself i was slowing down on youtube i was doing like two videos a month now i'm doing like bro i'm stacked up yeah and like it's just i put everything into her so as soon as she was gone i just felt like dude it was a and i love her so much i loved her so much i still y'all have that i'm jealous of your love towards someone i've never felt that really you're just a very passionate person in general i'm very very like like i could see that for anything in your life like the same way that if youtube was ever taken away from you let's say your account got deleted not that i don't think you'd start back up but it's like that would be another hole in your life like anything you're seeing when i get into something and that's been ever since i was a kid dude like when i was when i was [ __ ] into star wars i wore that goddamn anakin costume every single day holy [ __ ] the shrek [ __ ] dude shrek [ __ ] start in 8th grade to this day i'm [ __ ] making shrek jokes like when i'm into something i'm [ __ ] into it and bro that relationship was so amazing and now i always want to speak of it past tense because it was amazing and what i've had to train myself to do is that's the past because like i don't know how to say this without i want to i always want to respect your privacy but the relationship was great amazing so much love so much loyalty so much trust so much it was real real love like yeah it wasn't high school [ __ ] like it was like [ __ ] marriage dude like there was i i totally thought i was gonna marry her i totally thought like she is 100 the one and then the day she got to college dude it was just i got cut off i mean near the end there was already like when i got kicked out of school right asked to leave there was already some as soon as we were separated there's already because like you know with her running bro she can't be associated to the prankster that's throwing dildos online like she has a coach she has [ __ ] college like she has to keep a clean image so that kind of created problems because like i didn't feel it took me a while to understand but i didn't feel like she supported the videos and stuff which she did but she just could not be involved especially with her at the school too that i got asked to leave right so there's a bunch of [ __ ] but i mean from my perspective there's a lot of silver lining here like you might not be in the position you're in today if y'all never broke up and i honestly think that yeah i was headed down to a bad place because i was i was just everything was her because i do i put everything in one thing and now i'm putting everything into youtube which i [ __ ] love dude i admire the hell out of you literally every second you've been in austin for like two weeks we've hung out maybe five plus times every second i'm with you it's doing something productive i think we've chilled for maybe 10 minutes of the 10 hours we've been together and that was in a hot tub because there's nothing productive to do in a hot tub but talk and even those comments they're productive conversations yeah i learned a lot from you honestly like dude honestly i'll say to the camera this kid is editing till the early hours of the morning like you don't there's no time off for you daytime is filming night time is editing everything in between is planning those two things and it's if there was a girl in that equation yeah it wouldn't be the same i love because the love i have like i genuinely am in love with youtube yeah and i was so in love with her and she was a fantastic girl but i and i haven't spoken on this to the fans um i did do a breakup video when we broke up oh i didn't like clickbait i just put it at the end of a video yeah and i said like you know we're going our separate paths we if if something's meant to be it'll come back right um you know i'm just doing my thing she's doing hers but then i haven't been treated too kindly not she hasn't done anything mean but you know i just got shut out like really [ __ ] out like i try to remain friends i try to like and you know i want to give her the benefit of the doubt maybe it's too painful first so she has to cut me off like she has to be like because you know it's very hard to go from that's the number one person in your life to do we have i have no idea what she's up to she has no idea well i guess everything i do is on video but like she wasn't just my girlfriend she was my best friend and it was just yanked like literally she got to college boom really like that fast yeah that fast well well i don't know what she has going on so maybe like but on my end it's just like no matter what though there should be maintained kindness you know because i i wasn't i was getting treated like she didn't even know who i was [ __ ] yeah bro here's the thing is it one thick thick and thin when i don't know the phrase but when [ __ ] gets when [ __ ] hits the fan people start to show their true colors and honestly no but i i do believe she's a good person i just think totally that's not what i'm saying at all it's just about prioritizing and what people care about and honestly a lot of people will probably prioritize their career over their significance yeah and i was putting her before me right do you have like a story where your friend was there for you when you needed them the most oh yeah pj [ __ ] cried in his arms like i i can't explain you know i stopped hanging out with my friends i stopped doing videos like i was still doing and it sucks because i'm always like stay consistent taking since near the end of our relationship i really was everything was on her everything was her and when she let like when i got cut out it was like it was lonely and it's so weird because like i have [ __ ] 250 000 at the time 200 i don't know 240 000 kids that adore me and like my family and my friends but it was just like i don't know dude a girl is different a girl best friend is so different because like i don't know there's just so much we shared and i just felt alone and bro pj would hold me and he got me through that [ __ ] dude like he he was like i remember he made me say like dude it was really tough for me like one of the hardest things i have the hardest thing i've ever been through um he he made me say he's like you will be okay you will get over her yeah and i was like at the time i did not believe it i was like i will be okay i will get over and now it's like of course i miss the great times we had but that was a chapter of my life and now this is the next chapter and if she was a part of this chapter i would not be able to put my all into this chapter you know what i mean same with her she's doing her thing we would both not be happy if we were dating right now and what sucks is it had to get kind of ugly like i i i never talked on it because i always and i still want the fans to always treat her with respect yeah but um i wasn't being treated too good and i kept trying and then i raged like a week ago really i was like i went off oh [ __ ] what do you mean you really like i was just like i sit here and try to be nice and i just get treated like [ __ ] and it's like every time every time i wanted to be in her life she pushed me away and then when i would back off she'd be like no way i want to be friends i want to and then i'd come back and then she'd be like no no no so it was just too much like it was like i can't deal with i don't know and i i regret raging i should never let emotions get the best of me i should always be kind and you know i kept trying to make excuses like i was like oh well she's busy you know blah blah but that's you should still always be kind you know so that's when i was like all right i'ma let her go you know if she wants to do that she can do that she can do her thing i'm gonna do mine i need to stop relying on her and this was a week ago yeah it happened in austin and i was got distracted dude the two days i didn't do [ __ ] i was on the phone with her i didn't i didn't film i didn't do anything so that's how i was like in your lesson bro it's time to let go and i have let go did you block her yeah that's good i didn't block her to be a dick i blocked her because like when i see her face and [ __ ] it's like oh [ __ ] i miss her you know but i miss what she was then and it sucks because no one cheated on each other no one it could have been really nice but then again if we were friends it would be hard i i don't think she can't be friends yeah so maybe you know what maybe she she had to be cold because it did push me away she pushed me away i'm gone dude i'm gone it's honestly smart yeah yeah so maybe yeah [ __ ] maybe she did the right thing i don't know but yeah i think i mean there's but i know how i felt when i cause i kind of knew in the back of my head every time i lashed out every time i was like all right [ __ ] you then i'm blocking i'm moving on then she reached out to me and then no but then i was like so then when i was being a dick i was like oh and then like and then i don't know i just then i was like you know what i want a girl who i don't have to chase yeah i she loves me i love i i hate speaking on it because i always want to respect her privacy and stuff but i also do want to help the fans and it's like don't rely on anyone for happiness sometimes it is good like i'm i'm really [ __ ] focused on myself now dude it's amazing or do you feel like you're trying to cope with it no are you using youtube as a coping mechanism like pretending you are focused but not really not even kind of just spending time with you i could tell that's not the case yeah that's not the case at all it's just i really do when i get obsessed with something i get obsessed with it yeah and when you're sad about it it's okay to be sad that's a huge important thing about depression is that it is okay to be sad that's why i spoke on it too it's because i'm always happy in the videos i am very happy yeah like i'm so happy with who i am and my family and my friends but the reason why i talk on it is because i do i do want to show them that it's okay to be sad you know because the vlogs are always happy and stuff but when bad [ __ ] happens i want to speak on it because i want to get them through that [ __ ] too and now just like the drugs i have a million kids saying me and my girlfriend broke up blah blah blah and i get to help them with that and that's what i think separates me from other youtubers dude they don't i'm literally i will literally sit there and have a conversation with my fans about their problems it's so crazy it's so crazy like i have this kid that catches me up every day and he's like dude some bad [ __ ] happened today and i'm like bro like you know if she's not gonna be nice to you gotta move on and you gotta like the same [ __ ] that i'm learning so i really want to help kids because you know that's really important to me just to help people that's really cool to think that if you dm bail and levine he'll see it and maybe now i don't want you to think i i can't see them all i can't do that with everyone i know but the chances are higher yeah whenever i'm sitting there on my phone like i said i don't like to waste time instead of [ __ ] going down my feed i answer dms instead of [ __ ] playing video games i answer dm's you know yeah dude uh but i see playing video games in public [Music] what does the future look like for you i really do want to completely focus on youtube right now but i do want to get into acting i do i want to start a record label for pj i really i'm really working hard i work as hard as myself as on him with music um and he's doing really good now like i knew i just want to give him the platform so then he can run with it he's going to be a [ __ ] superstar dude um i want to write a book i i oh boys and girls club just emailed me and they want me to speak there so i'm like that's i want to do that type of [ __ ] like i want to start speaking public speaking i want to do everything i haven't made a song the other day dude yeah you made a song yeah i always didn't want to do it because i don't want it to be cringy but i i do like music a lot and like when i did that video with steezy everyone was commenting like bro that [ __ ] white kid was actually good he needs to make a song so i don't know if i'm going to put it out but i want to do everything but youtube is i love youtube so i'm just focused because i do feel like if you start focusing on every [ __ ] you'll yeah you won't end up doing anything good yeah who are your favorite actors or directors or do you not really go i'm more of like daddy who are your favorite jack sparrow that's a good answer oh yeah anakin skywalker i get a lot of [ __ ] hate for that but i think hayden christensen killed that [ __ ] dude no other person could play anakin um heath ledger [ __ ] killed the joker that's one of the some best acting i've ever seen yeah uh yeah shrek i mean come on dude that's shrek's not even a movie who was who's the voice of shrek mike myers imagine if i didn't know that yeah right fans would be like what the [ __ ] yeah the voice of donkey eddie murphy quiz me oh [ __ ] [ __ ] up who's the voice of the cat or boots i don't [ __ ] know dude oh would you pipe fiona oh yeah uh my first like little my first little love in high school i called her fiona really yeah i think i'm still checking her phone what do you think was your defining like blow up moment like when do you think you went viral not to choose video for sure that was it i remember the day so vividly i i remember starting to pick up like a week before and i was like mom i went from from like 3k to 5k i was like mom it's happening she's like okay okay [ __ ] and um then that night i was it was dylan dylan dylan was like bro dm your [ __ ] to me and pages he was he was flying up like we were we were it was like the month of october um and i started dming it too many pages small ones would post me that's when i started gaining a little bit and then one night it was october 13th october 13th um i got posted on a one million meme page they had a million followers and dude [ __ ] floods like i hit 10k that night i [ __ ] cried dude because you don't understand how bad i wanted that right that was oh my gosh like i still want it like still but that was like like all the [ __ ] hardships of getting asked to leave and my mom crying and me having this vivid picture of me being a youtuber and [ __ ] like this is when because you know when you see that k you're like damn like i'm i'm not a man of numbers i don't pay attention to numbers but i was like just so like flooding in and i hit 100k in like a week and a half like it was this is a massive blow-up massive blow up and then it was how i run with it because i was an instagram comedian i had like 20k on youtube i had 140k on instagram so then it was for like six months i i sat at 140k on instagram and again people started questioning like they were like oh so it was like one time thing my mom was like all right you got to get a job because i wasn't really making money then and i was like just wait just [ __ ] wait and i slowly transferred it transferred it transferred it built a connection because i can post these funny one-minute clips on instagram you can't really show your personality yeah and personality is a big that's the other thing for kids that want to be youtubers is that's what really builds the connection too and that's why my fan base is so some kid said it to me at the meet up he was like you know you're you're small but you have such a following like die hard totally because it's such a connection totally it's [ __ ] family dude [ __ ] cult dude it's awesome and um like dude like i see people with like 500k followers that get the same amount of comments as me i don't pay attention numbers but like comments is when kids really care like when do i comment on a picture i i barely i only do it on my best friend's stuff so that's when they [ __ ] care dude and it's so much um it's so much support and love and really connection how many instagram comments do you get like on average i'd say a thousand really yeah that's why but then i also respond to a [ __ ] up wait so you so you totally blew up on instagram oh yes and then you slowly yeah so i transferred it and then it started happening and now it's now they're even i think youtube's ahead now youtube's ahead now wow snaps how do you think you i mean you might not have an answer for me and just for kids who want to listen and learn how do you think you converted so hard from your instagram to your youtube it took a while it didn't [ __ ] was frozen for a while well instagram was and it just was going into youtube i would take the best minute and put on instagram and then be like full video on youtube it just slowly started going into it and then they learned my personality through youtube and yeah yeah i mean would you would you recommend to a current instagram star that they would convert to youtube it depends like i'm not really uh i'm so much more than just like little world star skits like yeah you know what i mean i love 10 minute not even some sometimes i'll do like 20 minutes of like episodes and i love how you say like um you're not you're not thriving to reach 10 minutes every time you're just gonna leave in what's funny like your last video is what seven minutes yeah no i never i never pay attention and it was [ __ ] gold thank you honestly every second i could tell yeah yeah i always make sure i want the whole video i never [ __ ] put a boring yeah i mean you could have easily made that video too 100 y'all had so much footage yeah but i always wanted to be good it was seven but the other thing is i have built it to where i can i don't always have to do crazy ass [ __ ] for them to watch like if i did my laundry and went to the store they would watch it they would watch it yeah and that's what i love is like it is a [ __ ] they truly care about me it's not just oh what is he gonna [ __ ] think what is he gonna do next like oh my god is he like the pranks are hilarious and i definitely get way more views when i do pranks and [ __ ] but um i really not and it's like consistent it is it's consistent i know what i think my answer to this is but i'm curious why do you think that is why do you think your fan base is so cold to you why do you think they feel like they're such good friends with you i want to hear your answers i really take time to talk to the camera a lot like this is why i'm so set on doing this podcast too it's because i love because i just remember like it goes back to yadi that is my inspiration i listen to all these rappers music kids watch all these youtubers things but what separated yachty from the rest is because he would talk about sobriety he would talk about chasing your dreams he would talk about you know it was so much more than music so that's what i'm trying to do it's so much more than pranks you know what i mean i don't i do like five vlogs and a prank five vlogs in a prank it's not yeah it's not i don't think it's a prank channel i think it's a vlog channel they're vlogging pranks but like it i i don't always and that's the death of people is they always have to be chasing what's the craziest [ __ ] i can do next you know what i mean i could [ __ ] go shop and video it and it's entertaining dude okay why do you think you're so passionate because i keep sensing all this passion coming from you to help kids why do you want to help kids like i i care a lot about people like just genuinely care about people i don't know i just care so much especially about the people i hold close like i'm very selective with who my friends are um what would make you not be friends with someone did so much [ __ ] because you care so it's hard it's hard to loyalty it's hard when you care about a friend but the second you lie to me the second you lied to me you will never be a friend like you you can be an acquaintance but the second you lie about real [ __ ] like okay if you [ __ ] are [ __ ] with me i don't give a [ __ ] it's a hard line because sometimes people make mistakes you know and that's where forgiveness comes in yeah you know that's very true but like just blatantly like right now dude if [ __ ] pj like hooked up with sarah [ __ ] them you know what i mean yeah okay that was the first name drop i got a little clue here all right now the fans know her name she was bunny i don't call her bunny anymore because oh [ __ ] that's kind of helped me get over too i kind of differentiate she's sarah now she was bunny you know but that's the other thing is i know pj would never do that like no doubt in my mind i know he would never lie to me i know he would never betray me and that's what i call a friend if you question that that's not a friend yeah that's not a friend so just people who lie to you you keep them away from you 100 loyalty is a big thing too like behind my back you always got my name you know what else what else would be another thing that you're like dude i can't i can't hang out with you uh this one like i would never not be friends with some of it because of it because people struggle with it i'm just that's just how i am is caring other people think like that that um that's just hard for me to see so people who care about what that's not i wouldn't be i wouldn't be someone's friend because of that but i really try to help them like bro before i met well like in high school pj cared so much about other people's opinions and that was stopping him from being a rapper and stuff because he was like dude i can't like make my instagram different i can't right you know and i have he's on his own dude now he's [ __ ] he's he doesn't give a [ __ ] what other people think so i really try to um help my friends understand that because that's the key to happiness that's a huge that's a huge he's not caring about anyone so many people are so wrapped up in what everyone around them thinks and that's the problem that's one of the biggest things about you that inspires me and that's something that i tried to internalize in myself when i started doing what i was doing because you know i feel i've i said this to you before but i felt like i knew you before we even met like the first time exactly why they watch the because they really feel like they know me literally like when i dabbed up the first time it did not at all like the first time then i was like wait he doesn't know who the [ __ ] i am at all so it's like really this weird connection that you're you keep it so real you don't give a [ __ ] what anyone thinks it's like inspiring for just average ass guys like because it's like you look at it it's like he does it i mean bro one of our first experiences together ever we're in a walmart and you you connect to the speaker to you know start [ __ ] with the employees your little shenanigans and the employee comes up and in my mind i was like all right this is where we cut like the boy is shutting it down bailey's like no i don't know any of these kids he's like get the camera down he's like that's a ps4 [Music] they're like you need to get out of here he just didn't i didn't leave they kicked off i was like all right well this is it like we're getting kicked out like it's time to go and i turn around and bailing is [ __ ] gone and it comes up ten minutes later with all the [ __ ] we went in there for originally you finished what you were doing yeah yeah your perseverance not caring what anyone thinks i think is why the fans connect with you so hard because they it makes them think that they can do it for themselves like how real you are on the camera and you know if anyone thinks it's an act i'm here to tell you it is not this is really me you know it really is dude but how do you how do you do that how do you not care what people think because it's easy to say yo i don't care what people think but dude how do you do that how do you look at target employee in the face who's removing you from the store and not [ __ ] well that's different that's not character that's different that's just like not giving up what's all about in school dude because especially with social media now man you want no secret you have to care what you want to know because it's like especially when people that are judging you are the ones that are insecure and sad themselves facts 100 it still doesn't help me not like yeah i can tell you're insecure too but dude i care so it's like that still wouldn't help me understand how not to care like this is what i try to tell kids who chase popularity yeah it's it's so [ __ ] gross if you really want to be popular be nice to everyone be yourself and you'll naturally become popular you know like i think all these kids want to be i always call them want to be cool kids like they try to like think they're the [ __ ] and like talk talk down on kids and like dude it just makes you look like a loser dude but the real definition of popularity yeah is everyone liking you and i that's impossible because so many [ __ ] people hate me dude because i am myself like so many people are like oh oh my god like he didn't give a [ __ ] like people are going to hate you and i'm not afraid to tell someone like if you're [ __ ] like i'll be the kid if someone's [ __ ] bullying the nerd and everyone i will go up millie what the [ __ ] are you doing you know i'm not a [ __ ] fighter at all don't get me wrong dude i'm a little [ __ ] [ __ ] but i'm not afraid to speak i'll never be afraid to speak my thoughts and that's what like when the whole school thing happened everyone was sad no one was allowed to talk about it because everyone all the parents are like i don't want my child to look bad i don't want and i [ __ ] made a video eight minute long saying [ __ ] it dude this is i'm going after my dreams i'm i will never be afraid to speak my thoughts and what what i think you think that would ever fail like people who because it's scary to take that route it's easy to say yo i'm gonna follow my dreams not if you know what you're doing is good no but i guess i'm saying because for some people it takes longer man oh yeah and that's what i've also done that's what i've also learned is no one's like no one has the mindset so when i speak on drugs i'm like oh don't do it like i don't you know i'm i don't need that [ __ ] to to relax and some people feel like they need that at a party because they can't be themselves well there's not even so i've tried to understand like no but like i'm just doing an example like i've tried to understand that no one they don't have the same mindset as me you know they can't be like oh [ __ ] i don't give a [ __ ] what anyone thinks like pj used to be like bill and i really and i'm like dude [ __ ] it and then now i'm like it takes time yeah he has gotten there dude but he couldn't just be like i don't give a [ __ ] like i can't you know no one's no one can be like that i mean some people are but um that's why i talk about it is you know uh same thing with like everyone sees everyone drooling and [ __ ] and it becomes normal so if i keep talking about don't give a [ __ ] don't give a [ __ ] it'll be like huh i shouldn't give a [ __ ] slowly yeah so i guess so yeah i don't know if that made sense no that makes sense dude because i mean out on jewel you're setting the trend you want to set up i want to make it cool not to be cool not to jewel i always say that no cool yeah well yes but also cool not to be cool i like that a lot that's true because it's how you it's not that standing out is cool but being yourself is cool yeah and sometimes being yourself makes you stand out and it doesn't matter if it's in a bad way because it's still really cool i i just admire that like your uh like idea of popularity is so different than the typical idea of popularity dude [ __ ] popularity bro it's what even it's all pretty it's so dumb oh my god nothing makes me more mad i hate it i mean i'll be devil's advocate dude because we're pushing popularity bro i mean guess most guys want it because it gets you laid you know and you get popular by bullying others that's why people get popular in high school they're a [ __ ] they [ __ ] bully others so they look cool they're a [ __ ] so girls go oh dude look at that guy he's taking over the room and that's what i want to that's what i want to do is make it to where everyone's like oh look at that guy he's [ __ ] being nice let's like him back to the friend question i want my friends to be real right always real no [ __ ] fake [ __ ] that's number one from yeah fake iphone oh i know about that i hate fakes like i know about being a real friend dude it gets hard i guess hard dude because people are not gonna like you when you're real they're not no but not even not but like not even a real friend that's very important but they're real you know what do you mean what do you mean they're not trying to they're not trying to [ __ ] impress everyone and yeah and be someone they're not you know oh i got you yeah i got you they're not trying to like so much of the world is like that like almost everyone like i'm not trying to say the world but everyone is so i want to look the best like that's the other thing with money i preach too about money bro i swear to god i will drive a [ __ ] kia's soul with 10 million dollars right i will not buy a big ass mansion i will always wear the [ __ ] new balances and crocs i will always wear the 5 walmart shorts you know because i i don't know i i hate you know so they don't they don't really have enough money for that [ __ ] car but they do it because they want to impress other people what if you do what if you do have the money then that's your thing you know like if i was [ __ ] a little pump it would be fun to do it you know that's yeah that's just fun he you know but so many people are wasting time money themselves on trying to look cool to other people to be someone else that they're not yeah i guess dude if it's yourself to be fashionable and and wear chains if that's really who you if that's who you are like i have a friend i have i have a kid that films for me that really enjoys cars and i'm always [ __ ] on nice cars like making fun of them but with him i'm like bro i hope you know like you actually genuinely like he has a car account he goes to car meet up so i'm like that's yeah that's fine that's what you enjoy right but i'm talking about the [ __ ] people that oh look i have a mercedes like everyone look at me like well i actually enjoy it they just want to [ __ ] be the [ __ ] totally i hate that i hate that you're so right and and that's why this path isn't for everyone like it's you want to inspire everyone but really it's not for everyone like a a really close friend of mine who did the music thing before me gave me one of the wisest pieces of advice i've ever got he gave it to me two years ago he said for a little bit you just have to be okay being a loser like you have to be okay with that oh yeah i didn't drop out of high school but everyone said high school drop out that [ __ ] yup doesn't that doesn't go to school and dude to follow a dream like this in this specific industry this type of one-off it's not for everyone type of job only if you make it persistence last stuff like that you have to be okay with being a loser for a little bit the the first step of trying anything is being shitty at it and what's funny is like half the celebrities and stuff they were homeless at one point you know exactly and one of the main things i tell pj pj has pink hair right now everyone at college is laughing at him yeah he hates college he feels like [ __ ] he's at the bottom of the bottom right and one of my biggest inspirations yachty kind of the same [ __ ] thing he was at college hated it made fun of everyone by his hair he said one day everyone's gonna look up to the hair one day i'm gonna be the [ __ ] look at him yep he was miserable he was on the [ __ ] bottom dude hated college miserable getting bullied like you know and now the [ __ ] all those kids that made fun of her are probably like holy [ __ ] you know all the teachers that kick me out like i don't care what people think but i do it is nice knowing like you make more than those [ __ ] no no not that but like i said i am going to do this and now i did it if you [ __ ] put your mind to something you can do it anything the mind can imagine like obviously you can't [ __ ] fly you can't but yeah you can do it you can't it's about persistence it's about how long you're willing to try to do it bro like mine happened quick but i would still be working at it every day and i said it i said i could be 30 and i'm still gonna be [ __ ] working at it exactly that's the thing is you had your blowup right you were working for so long with no followers you really wanted this to happen and then it did but you didn't stop here we are later with twice the followers oh yeah because you kept going like a lot of people take their small successes and settle into that and they're like okay well i'm a youtuber because i'm at 100k that makes me a youtuber they settle into those ways because they've already made it their success they've crossed their own mental finish line mm-hmm it's about persistence and even before the success because i knew i wouldn't be happy if i didn't do it right and that's that's the main thing i chase is happiness like it's not i wasn't [ __ ] homeless and i wasn't but it was a big thing when i when i left my editing computer was my friends that got taken i had no filmers all my friends went to that school they weren't allowed to be a part of the videos i had it private every single video on my channel i didn't have to delete it but everything was gone all the hard work of the six months of recording gone [ __ ] yeah so i had no idea i was doing online school sitting at home every day by myself and i would find random kids to film with as much as i hated it because it was like yeah i'm not like these aren't my friends like it's so weird i pushed through i saved up i worked and bought a camera and [ __ ] and or i bought a computer um i did i did get to keep i did get to keep the camera everyone was telling me you're not gonna do it i had no one really supporting me like all the kids of course like keep going but like my family was like so sad about it and [ __ ] and i just you you can't depend on anyone and i've also learned that as i was depending on sarah now i'm [ __ ] sorry to keep bringing up this is just the biggest thing in my life yeah yeah um you can't depend on anyone period when you start depending on people if that gets taken away you're going to [ __ ] yourself mm-hmm you need to make sure everything is self-sufficient that's what i try to give noah to you know noah's not in the vlogs anymore but the whole time i was trying to give him his own thing so he didn't always have to be bill and levine's sidekick you know and same thing i'm doing with pj like i'm giving him it but then i'm gonna back off because you can't depend on me you have to do it on your own yeah yeah and i've heard rappers say it dude when a rapper blows up people think yo why aren't your friends blowing up you know why it's just you and they say you can help people yeah he says i've helped them but dude if you don't have it within you you're not going to make it happen even though they give them the platform you can put in features in your songs but you know that doesn't mean you're going to blow up cannot depend on i didn't have one big collaboration to blow up i didn't have you know like so many people i gotta collaborate i gotta of course it helps yeah but you can't depend on anyone yeah i mean that's i love that that's crazy that you had like pretty much all of your resources ripped from you yeah everything and you kept going i mean and now today's day and age if you have an iphone you could have a million subscriber youtube page you could shoot edit and post with an iphone well i'm pretty sure adam 22 used to just vlog on his phone yeah straight up like yeah and like finding random filmers like that's [ __ ] awesome you don't need your filmers don't need to be your friends like just find people who will get it done for you just outsource what you need done for you because then you're not relying on any one person a group of people anymore that's why i'm even here because [ __ ] steezyk needed to film her one time and i did it that's how i met alejandro and now this time i'm even sitting here too oh it's amazing the people i've met through this yeah like for [ __ ] this guy dm me and said i'll give you a thousand bucks if i can be in a video i was like really okay i was like so many people so many people ask to collab you know i can't [ __ ] yeah you know you can't but he did offer a thousand dollars and i was like that's business that's what it is and i did it and now he's like my best friend in the world who is it tommy g he's in my videos he's he's he's a beast i love him today i paid you a thousand dollars yeah and then but he he was smart because he knew everyone's asking him to collab yeah i'd offer him some money and then i'm gonna build and dude we connect like i [ __ ] i go visit him all the time in milwaukee i [ __ ] help him so much like he doesn't have to pay me [ __ ] i help him i genuinely is a good friend of mine now so uh what was i yeah you you meet so many people through you know you gotta step out of your comfort zone okay at first you're tommy i'm not gonna lie he's 25. my parents are like what the [ __ ] how old were you uh 18. [ __ ] dude no but it was it was it was like it's a big random guy's just coming to pick us up in his car and we're gonna be and like bro look at us now you know yeah i love it you meet a lot of people yeah i did uh that's another thing why we did the podcast um just to meet youtubers before they really blow up you know and uh see what it's like see i see how they think yeah uh and people who might not get uh interviews be you know because people only do it when you're big you know when you're small yep um you know i i the other person i look up to a lot scary v garyvee he says when i have these these meetups everyone's trying to chase the person in the room with the biggest follower following but talk to the person next to you because you never know you know yeah that's oh i know what you're talking about i know what you're talking about because he said people always kind of want to hang out with me and and and you know how they want to know how to get to me but he says you won't be able to he says look at who's around the room with you trying to blow up and in 10 years those are going to be the game you know what my fans did today you know what my fans did today what did they do they all exchanged numbers yeah everyone everyone that wanted to be youtubers exchanged numbers they made a group text yeah they made a [ __ ] group text and i was like good [ __ ] [ __ ] dude that's crazy yeah oh i sat them down like after we [ __ ] around in the mall i sat them down and we had like i gave them [ __ ] advice it was like summer camp you should download a little text app or make a little google voice number and jump in that group text oh yeah sometimes i just [ __ ] get my number at his fans really yeah my first meetup i gave him all my number and we still have a group chat and they texted it yeah well those are some trustworthy kids then yeah i i definitely break the boundary i i give out my number to so many people do it damn you know you can cause i just view myself so normal yeah like i and another thing gary v said is uh these influencers i hate [ __ ] saying that word [ __ ] up when they start thinking they're better than everyone else i remember when i was that kid that the fans that came today i remember when i was that kid that wanted to [ __ ] be a youtuber in so i never forget that i remember having nothing so i'm never gonna act like i'm the [ __ ] you know i that's why i still answer the dm's i'm not above anyone [ __ ] yeah that's a character he said that's what separates artists who are blowing up and then who make it to be actually successful is uh arrogance or more so he said entitlement yeah when people start to think they're entitled they forget how they even got there yeah rappers literally straight up when rappers are on the come up they think oh now you owe me this get me a water [ __ ] do this [ __ ] for me i forgot how hard they actually worked to get there even though i was telling dylan to give me water no but dude those kids at the meetup can be me in a month tomorrow dude tomorrow tomorrow dude you know you know and they're like [ __ ] you failing damn yeah but sometimes dude you have to have an ego though you know it's kind of like a balance because sometimes you have to think you're the [ __ ] you can't get walked on that's the other thing i learned this past month is i was kind of letting i [ __ ] hate keep bringing it back to it but it's such a big part of my life is i she was dictating my emotions she was you know no matter what i would answer so i learned you can be nice but don't get walked on you know how do you find the balance how do you find that it's hard i'm still learning i'm struggling that's a big struggle right now for me is not not her but uh in general is sometimes people like pj is working with producers now and he notices like you know if the baby said get me this [ __ ] on time they're gonna [ __ ] get it to him on time but when pj says it's like oh he's so nice like he you know he won't care so there's a balance there's a balance being a boss bro it's hard being a boss because you can't be too friendly to your employees otherwise they won't get the job done sometimes you got to be hard on people mm-hmm so they can get the [ __ ] job yeah but i guess that's employees kind of kindness is in the end who will win the douchebag may [ __ ] look good in in the beginning just like high school they had the [ __ ] in high school but then what about in the long run what do you think about nice guys finish last with girls no no no that has nothing to do with girls that's in general i don't know about in general but with girls definitely guys nice guys finished no not not marriage bro not in [ __ ] i'm talking about in business if you're not if you're on a [ __ ] [ __ ] on a war path willing to shut people down to get what you want the nice guys will finish last if you get walked on in business but it's the same thing with the videos i'm nice but as soon as someone is like [ __ ] you then i'm like i stand up to him right i think i think there's a balance of nice and respect like always be respectful always respect others but sometimes you need to be assertive also and that's maybe not so nice yeah sometimes you're gonna sure sometimes you gotta choke people the [ __ ] out but like genuine kindness is key and my dad kind of helped me with that because the other day i was like you know it seems as if i'm rude to sarah then she wants me and it's like and then he's like well do you really want that right like [ __ ] no [ __ ] that yeah in a relationship i want to be myself and we you know and find a girl who loves you for who you are yeah and in general with friends like you know i could if you act like you're the [ __ ] and stuff they'll chase you and they'll [ __ ] uplift you but that's not a real friendship just [ __ ] be yourself dude be kind to be yourself because that's what we're winning but there's always improvement so don't say that this is me i'm not going to change you can always improve you know because there's i've had some everything people are better you know who say you this is me and i'm like no [ __ ] that [ __ ] dude you need to switch that because that's not cool so there's like a balance of being yourself but also knowing you can always do better oh you because i always do because i have so much [ __ ] to work on so you can all you can always do better but i do truly believe i found myself yeah my core yes i really hope you truly also believe that that will evolve yeah oh it will evolve but it's like it's like right now like i've had so many friends that are like i'm not gonna smoke a drink and then as soon as college hit they start [ __ ] but like everyone in the world could be doing that i would not do that for the rest of my life i promise you on everything same no dude i know i will not give up on youtube never in my life like those my morals loyalty friendship how i view the world that will never change but little stuff like i you know i was being so so nice and now i've learned there's a you can get walked on too like of course i will learn but i have found who baylen levine is yeah dude i remember reading this somewhere that uh life is gonna push you back on the path you're supposed to be you just don't know it right so if you're going somewhere life is going to sense something that it might be you think it's a like something horrible to happen accident but it's life telling you yo that's not the right path like that's not the right path kidding ashley school the breakup like literally the breakup i said this is not this is my like this bro that [ __ ] [ __ ] saved me yeah i would be yeah that's what [ __ ] life does it trusts to get you in the path and the more you fight it the more it's going to be pushing back life knocks you down but what you choose to do with it is what matters when life gives you lemons you [ __ ] [ __ ] you sit on them you [ __ ] them yes you pour them in your eyes like supreme patty and make a whole career out there shout out to supreme patty i will say this dude i respect his business i respect his hustle well i also don't respect his business this is why i say shout out to supreme paddy i said shout out to print patty because he was a kid with a lot of [ __ ] acne in a world yup where beautifulness is what makes you blow up and it's what you know people like supreme patty will not put themselves on camera never do because like yo i'm going to be [ __ ] blasted judging all this [ __ ] and when i saw him do that i was like and you know what that does for other kids it makes them want to do it you know what it's okay dude i'm [ __ ] skinny as [ __ ] and comments all the time are making fun of it [ __ ] no you me personally you you're you are [ __ ] when you're shirtless and you're just like offensively skinny in these yeah dude i'm always videos shirtless i have kids saying like dude i used to care now i don't give a [ __ ] that i'm skinny yeah like honestly if if there was any i mean i don't give a [ __ ] that i'm skinny because like it's a vibe linking this is a vibe but if there's anyone who like made me really really know in my heart that it was okay it's all right it was you bro to be dead ass from the bottom of my heart i saw your lanky ass [ __ ] skeleton self on camera and i was like this is me like he's owning it so much more than me like you made me think like i mean i've always been a confident person and like yeah i can tell you even even with girls like i'm never ashamed of my body or anything like that but sometimes obviously situations will test you you know you'll be whatever at the beach with all your friends or whatever the smallest [ __ ] it doesn't matter like you showed me it doesn't matter like i don't know dude i don't know where i'm really going with that but like from one lenky dude to another you inspired me to take my shirt off a little more often and kind of just own that [ __ ] all the way thank you well thank you straight up that's real that was not for the podcast thank you dude i knew you the reason why i bring up supreme patty is because dude i had a lot of acne when i was in high school yeah a lot yeah and i remember seeing logic you know logic yeah his earlier videos dude he was full of acne too and i was like yo this motherfucker's out here rapping on the mic and making videos like that doesn't stop you dude and that inspired me to like you know what if he's doing it i'm gonna do it sometimes i take it too far dude when i first got acting i was like damn i kind of look good with this [ __ ] yeah i'm not gonna lie i was like huh all right well let me rock it the reason why i want to keep pushing that point is because i know there are a lot of kids who see you you know they see that you don't shy away from it they're like it would help because i know it would help me [ __ ] tons dude just owning yourself oh yeah and you like your hair my hair yeah yeah and i bet [ __ ] people would [ __ ] on it i'll keep this story super super short but when i dyed my hair it was after i talked to that kid who said you have to be okay with being a loser for a little bit and i was like okay i need to internalize this when people would ask me what are you doing in life and i knew in my mind i wanted to be a dj but i wasn't majoring in electrical engineering saying i want to be a dj that's [ __ ] lame i was afraid to get judged i'd say yeah i'm an electrical engineer i want to go into v virtual reality that seems way cool they're like oh this kid might make money he's smart enough people just ask me i'd be like business yeah business they're like oh he's smart i respect him like i bet when peach is in [ __ ] college and everyone's saying what they want to be and he's like a rapper with pink hair straight up people everyone smile you have to be okay with that so when i dyed my hair that was me going two feet in and like admitting it to myself that i wanted to be a dj i was like all right i'm just gonna look stupid as [ __ ] to people who don't get it and understand it and that's okay you need to accept that to follow your dreams like it's going to be widely unaccepted this [ __ ] has about a ten percent approval rating no the trick is to not giving a [ __ ] i remember straight up i made my instagram i was too scared to post my [ __ ] on my instagram because i was like it's my real name right when i go if i have to get a job one day they're gonna look it up and then when i was like [ __ ] this dude if this is what i truly want then it shouldn't even matter because i'm never gonna need a job i'm never gonna because i'm gonna do this [ __ ] so i changed my username or i didn't i did change my username for a little bit but then i changed it back to bill in the veeam because i was like i'm [ __ ] doing my real name dude this is what i want but that's key is not giving a [ __ ] yeah that's going two feet in that's fully committing to your project oh yeah is when you burn the bridges on ulterior opportunities i remember i was too scared to post my facebook because my family followed me and [ __ ] i was like [ __ ] this dude this is what i want and i'm doing it and now that's key that is key that's the biggest key is go two feet and find out what you're really passionate about what you really want and then go for it wholeheartedly yeah don't ever think oh i need to fall back oh i have this fall back i mean so many people said that to me like they were like we had to have a fallback plan i'm like i don't [ __ ] there's no [ __ ] phone dude there's no [ __ ] fallback everyone said that well what's your backup plan what's your backup plan i'm like there is nobody you have a backup there's no background you were never fully committed to plan a in a [ __ ] first place yes that's what big sean said a long time ago at lollapalooza before i even started music he honestly i loved that what you just said thank you and i'll reiterate kind of through what he said is there's no such thing as failure it just means if you failed something at some point you stopped trying to do it yeah so i'll know that i'll never [ __ ] fail as a dj you'll never [ __ ] fail at youtube if you keep trying the only way to fail is if you personally decide that you're gonna stop trying i'm on my grind right now bro [ __ ] cheap ass cameras dude yeah it's probably we're gonna make a podcast happen and [ __ ] renting different rooms and [ __ ] until i get my own studio and like actually like nice cameras where they don't pause every [ __ ] 30 minutes when you have a [ __ ] guy in the back flipping through cameras like all the yeah handling the audio and all this [ __ ] well that's what i mean back to what gary v said and back to what we were talking about earlier not to reiterate a million times but you don't need the nice mics the nice cameras the sound engineer the lights engineer you don't need all of that you just need to want to do it right shitty ass [ __ ] 90 mics that were static as [ __ ] and the camcorder [ __ ] recording off of [ __ ] potato just upload it [ __ ] potato man that's what garyvee says and that's why i was trying to tell the checkers worker in the parking lot the other way i love garyvee i also love garyvee's stance on custom on on cousin what's his stance he's like dude they're just [ __ ] words yeah that's how i talk you know like yeah gets my [ __ ] point across they're just words like people get so butthurt about it i'm like i mean i could see part of it definitely there's a respect to it you know yeah but like then don't watch them you know yeah i guess i was thinking like in real life the thing is people most people when you sound dumb cussing it's when you're replacing adjectives with cuss words because you have nothing smarter to say and you can't think about if you're trying but that's just when you're using customers yeah well when you're using cuss words to emphasize what you're saying and they actually add to the sentence that's when it's respectable like garyvee he's not using cuss words because of lack of other things to say yeah you know what i say too i say uh vape is for [ __ ] [ __ ] like i will say that because if i said oh vape is bad yeah hide that [ __ ] [ __ ] but that that really [ __ ] makes kids be like like that's so much emphasis because they're getting told if you don't do it you're a [ __ ] and that's that strikes them so it's like if you do it you're a [ __ ] and that that's just so much emphasis on don't [ __ ] do it and that you know it really gets the point across i could be like tiptoeing around but don't [ __ ] do it or you're a [ __ ] that really [ __ ] yeah [ __ ] it emphasizes your point yeah dude no and and all this dude uh i guess for some reason if parents are watching having someone not do drugs that you know or like i guess close to you really bad comes from helps so much so it helps because i remember in high school i went to this party and there was a girl that i liked there and we got in a little circle or whatever and the girls were smoking weed right they did it and uh my friend was right next to me and the weed was going this way he was right next to me and i mean dude i was gonna hit that [ __ ] bro i was gonna [ __ ] hit because she just hit it dude yeah oh yeah so i knew i knew i was gonna hit it but he this is what he said he said no i don't do drugs and dude as soon as i heard that i was like what the [ __ ] and when it was my turn i was like no me neither yeah wow yeah so they gave you the app if it wasn't if he wasn't there dude trust me dude i would have [ __ ] been hitting that [ __ ] and i don't know what if that's what i want to do but that moment was kids changed my life beyond doesn't do it exactly so dude i know probably some kid out there is thinking about it and sees that [ __ ] and goes you know what i get so many dm's i don't have to do it's my [ __ ] day makes my day now it's like a trend they all send me videos i'm smashing their vapes and [ __ ] no [ __ ] way hey dude how are you not making millions dude i don't understand i know dude it was on snapchat snapchat like on the homepage was like it's a trick dude how are you following me i need to take frick vape to like yeah i need to you need to [ __ ] get together so like dude so half the dms i get are them [ __ ] breaking their vapes bro you're oh my god dude i could see this going on ellen jimmy kimmel like yo there's this kid named bailin yeah changing the youtube world hey you all think how youtubers are a bunch of [ __ ] doing pranks we'll look at this kid uh promo should we break my [ __ ] vape right now let's break it dude no way let's [ __ ] break that [ __ ] no way no no but do it over here oh oh oh that broke it like it's done it's done i guess so i don't know anything about them it's gonna sit in there it's gonna soak in yeah baby damn see what you did you did that look at that right there bro you did that but what what does vape do like it [ __ ] up your lungs or what i really don't know much about things that we don't have to get into especially if we're not educated about it but all i can say is nothing about it is positive right there are that's the thing is no one knows yeah like all the kids that are doing it now we got to wait till they're [ __ ] 80 and see the effects you know like yeah look at what happens like no one knows nobody knows damn same with porn i hate porn yeah yeah tell me about that you too you don't watch porn either right no what is it about point it's it's hard for me to understand why y'all don't watch porn i think it [ __ ] up your brain chemicals like it's like a drug it's a drug it is it's a drug man but i also think it ruins real sex yeah i don't know i'm just so much more into like love and yeah you're saying well that's too sexual no it makes it so like it takes away from it like i just want to [ __ ] girls and the other thing is it it is new that [ __ ] is not [ __ ] natural and i'm a very sexual person and i'm not thinking about how the jokes on the thing are sexual i used to be really sexually active i like but um i don't know man love is just different what do you think about one night stands um i mean what i don't know he doesn't know it's like you know he doesn't go to bars and [ __ ] yeah i don't like i literally don't do that [ __ ] like i hooked up with girls in high school i'll tell you even if you did go to bars you wouldn't be into one night stands i can tell bro because you're so passionate about things i can't see you [ __ ] a girl you're not passionate about to be honest and it's and it's hard to become passionate no but like i i was i was like known as the [ __ ] horny ass kid in high school yeah keyword was though you were not yeah but like i don't know man i just don't have a desire for that right now you know there's been a long-ass podcast so we probably can't remember what we talked about but i think we've hit a lot of the points uh i think so we needed a hit man so i guess any last uh you know to your fans any last
