- Everybody keeps saying, "Drew, you can't restock your merch. You don't know how. You are too stupid." But guess what, loser? I figured it out. And now you can buy more shirts at drewgoodenshop.com. Hey guy, welcome back to another episode of my braless wife bringing me a sandwich I didn't ask for. So I made a Twitch account in 2018 with the intention of streaming regularly. And in the four years sense, I have streamed once. I keep telling myself, I'll go back to it but as with everything else in life, I remember it's just so much easier not to. So I don't. But today, that all changes. Thanks to the help of one man. Tyler "Ninja" Blevins. If you don't know who Ninja is, he's sort of the Michael Jordan of having blue hair. If you do know who Ninja is, you probably expected me to say he's the Michael Jordan of Twitch streaming. But that would imply that he's one of the very best at it. I don't know if that's true. I think at this point there are tons of people doing an equal or better job of representing how fun and exciting Twitch can be. Ninja might just be the only streamer that like your grandma has heard of because she saw him on Ellen. Since there's such a large portion of the general population that had no idea what a Fortnite stream was when their kids told them it was their new favorite thing to watch, I think someone had to be anointed as like the face of it. And Ninja is a high energy guy. He's very good at video games. He made himself super marketable and he used to stream all the time, which made him constantly accessible. He was the right dude in the right moment, playing the right game and to his credit, he totally embraced it. Not everyone in that position would've said yes to as many things as he did. Sometimes it's actually okay not to do everything that's offered to you because you never know when you might end up unsuccessfully trying to cheer up a bunch of cold, wet new Yorkers by flossing like your light depends on it. - I'm not seeing a movement. - As far as I can tell, Ninja is just a guy who got way more famous than he ever needed to be. And apart from his weird creator beefs and notoriously bizarre tweets, I don't really have too strong of an opinion about him at this point in my life. Anyway, all of that brings us up to a few months ago, March, 2022. Ninja launches his exclusive masterclass. With years of clicking and yelling now under his belt, Tyler is finally ready to share the secrets that led him to the top for the low, low price of one annual membership to masterclass.com. For the record, this is a one month class, but in order to take it, you have to be subscribed to the website for an entire year, which will cost you $180. A small price to pay once you find out they have classes from both Clintons. So you already know the drill. I'm going to sign up for this class and I'm going to regret it. Full disclosure, I signed up for this already. I'm filming this intro after the fact. Can someone tell me why the I bought the duo version? Did I think I was gonna be watching him on two devices at the same time? What would that even accomplish for me? So anyway, I spent $240 on this class. Most people will choose to spend a little bit less. (dramatic music) One of the first things he gives you at the start of the class is a PDF document with all sorts of gaming and streaming lingo. I cannot overstate how helpful this glossary is. There are some extremely advanced terms on here that would've thrown me for a loop had I heard them casually used throughout one of the courses. Things like keyboard, YouTube, mouse. Apparently that's the thing that you click with, but I don't know. I'm still new to this. The true beginning of this class is a section that has equipment for all different budgets, links on where to buy everything. And honestly, that's a pretty valuable resource to have all in one place. But I can't help but laugh whenever he says something like this. - You only need one monitor. If you can afford more than one, then that is definitely recommended. But if you can't afford two monitors. - If you can't afford a second monitor, because I made you spend the cost of one on this class, then you know what? That's on me. That's my bad. Sorry about that. It's kind of the irony of this whole section. - I recommend that you spend a good amount of money on your gaming PC. - Relative to other hobbies, streaming can be very expensive to start out. Even the lowest end computer that he recommends is about $1,000. And you still have to buy a microphone, a webcam, a mouse and keyboard, two things we just learned about earlier. He really tries to stress how every dollar is so important when you're starting out. So it's like, I don't know, maybe save 180 of them for equipment. And then just watch an OBS YouTube tutorial for free. Speaking of which, I love this line. - It's plug and play for a reason. It may seem a little scary, but it's not. There's tutorials everywhere on the internet. - Ninja, I don't know if you noticed, you're filming a tutorial. Don't outsource the work to someone else. Just tell me how to do these things while I'm here in the class that you're teaching. In the second clip, you'll already immediately see the evolution of my streaming personality. (rock music) - What's going on, guys? - It's so funny to hear him describe the things that he does well in like an analytical way. - Okay, here we go. See? Now it's okay. We're okay. We're on a good lead. You see I'm wearing my hat. I'm clearly doing a funny voice. - And obviously, you probably notice as well that I will often make silly faces. So sometimes, I'll do one of these. Or maybe I'll hit them with one of these. Ooh. And that's just one of those funny ass things you can do. - And you know, of course, it's entertaining to watch. - This makes me laugh and laugh so hard. - This next clip I'm gonna show you is kind of me evolving a little bit as a content creator. (upbeat music) Hello, everybody. What do you guys notice that has changed? My background has changed. I had a better chair. - Okay. So evolving as a creator means buying a more expensive chair. - My light set up was totally different. Way more appealing. - All right, well, I thought maybe he was gonna talk a little bit more about like evolving your personality, but it seems like his advice is just to spend more money on the wall behind you. Hey, he's the master and this is his class. - Things in the background were more appealing, You have the gaming fridge, of course, with the energy drinks in there. That's always fun to look at. - Yeah, I have a lot of fun looking at that fridge. Hey man, we're gonna go wear suits to the new minions movie. You trying to come? No can do big guy. I have got my day filled. Oh wow. That fridge is really fun to look at. I know. - In the very first one, it was just my full screen webcam. The next one, I was reacting to a clip that I had and I was wearing a hat. - All right, there we go. If you wanna get better at streaming, put on a hat. That's probably why my friend, Chris is so good at streaming, that dude has so many hats. - My headphones were upgraded. My hair was blue. - Now we're getting somewhere. These are actionable steps. Wear a funny hat and dye your hair. If you're like me and you're not exactly sure why that matters so much, he does actually have some pretty insightful commentary about it. - People really wanted me to always have my hair blue and it just became a part of my brand. There are a couple of categories. - Oh, okay. I guess that's it. Absolutely great editing there. Gotta love the cut. Right as he's opening his mouth to say more. I couldn't believe actually how many times he mentions his blue hair in this class. - Okay, so we have Ninja blue hair, right? I dyed my hair blue and everyone thought, okay, now blue-haired person, me dyeing my hair blue and the hair, the hair, my hair was blue. - It's almost like he's convinced himself that one of the secrets to his success is that he dyed his hair a funny color. Well, since it seems to be such an integral part of his brand, maybe we should check in on a stream now and see how it looks. - Listen, just know that I will set my alarm at 5 am so I can see all of your guys morning wood. I forgot to look at his hair. I think most people's experience with this class will be that it's very front loaded with content. He's got a little over an hour about the basics of what you need to just hit the go live button. And then the next section is 23 minutes long. He starts flying through these short lessons that are like, practice the game that you like. And also, don't stream too much, but don't not stream too much. - Good luck. - He even spends two of these very crucial minutes, just rambling on about one specific Dead by Daylight trick he saw once and it's like, dude, could you have written something down for this? - It's called like a 360. - Why does it seem like half the class is him going, oh shit, what else? - And then you just do it. - No-scopes. No-scopes are cool. So, you could do one of those. Before you even have time to process anything that he's said in section two, we're already breezing right into section three, which is less than 23 minutes long. It's so visibly short at first glance that they had to pat it out by copying and pasting two lessons from the previous section. Share your streams with the community and engage with each other. And now, do it again. - Listen to your chat. The next time they come in, if they say something about their dog, maybe their dog isn't feeling well. And they come in the next day and you're just like, "Hey Jack, what's up buddy? How's your dog, man?" You probably just secured that viewer for life. - Ask people if their dog is sick. He's got a section about how to deal with trolls, which is definitely something to be wary of if you're gonna be doing anything in a live setting. I love that this is the only example of an insult that he could come up with on the spot. - Like if someone says, "Hey, Ninja, your hair is looking really blue today. Kinda weird." I'd like, "Yeah, that is kind of weird." - Dude had one thing on his mind that day. - [Ninja] Blue hair. - I really liked when he went on this long explanation of how to ban people and specifically described each and everything to do, but they never showed his screen. I mean, you can kinda see it in this shot, but it's a little blurry. Oh, here. Now they're gonna show it. - So this user, I'm going to demonstrate how to ban and unban them. It is literally as simple as pressing two buttons. So you have their username, you click ban. - Ninja, I can't. - And you simply just unban. - I can't see what you're doing, buddy. This happens multiple times. It kinda makes me think that they just forgot to record his screen while he was doing this section. And instead of attempting to recreate that B-roll, they just gave up and put nothing there. It's so bad. That's not even Tyler's fault, but it does show a general lack of caring from everyone involved. There are times where the crew is either pranking Tyler with the editing or they just don't give a shit. This is a real clip from the masterclass. - Takis. Gaming is intense, but Takis are seriously intense. - That's not the original commercial. He doesn't shit and fart in the actual ad. - Call out your regulars and loyal viewers, they'll keep coming back. What up? And how you doing bro? Fufu, I think that's your (indistinct). So make sure to always talk to your chat. After all, they're your friends. - Welcome back, Dick Lord. Thanks for the six months. How's your dog doing, by the way? You don't have a d-. Then get one so I can talk to you. - You now have a lot of pressure on you to set good examples. It is going to be up to you to instill good morals or the morals that you have into your audience. Doioioioing. Not promote harassment and not promote being negative. You're trash. You're awful. You're so (beep) stupid. - You know, and just when I thought some of his advice was starting to dip in quality, he drops this banger. (lively music) - I have a Fortnite skin. It is no surprise that the best titles can grab potential viewers who are scrolling through channels. - Yeah, so if you wanna get a lot of views on a video, just get Fortnite to make you a skin and put you in the item shop and then just tell people about it. Guaranteed millions of views, dude. And it works every time, you gotta try it. Actually, a lot of the final section of this class is about these like completely unattainable things you could do to get bigger. - I always expressed my personality in gaming, but wanted to break out and do other forms of media and entertainment to expand my audience. - Welcome to "The Daily Show." - Thank you. Thank you for having me. - Don't just be a streamer. Go on TV. - I wanted to be known in Hollywood. So I went on shows like "Ellen" and "The Tonight Show" and "The Masked Singer." And was eventually cast in movies like "Free Guy." - Come on, get your name out there. Be in a movie. I know it sounds crazy, but it makes a big difference. - [Ninja] Collaborations are a great way to get more people to your stream and it's very exciting for your viewers. - And of course, you gotta play Fortnite with Drake You may think I don't need to do that, but don't underestimate how big that could be for your career. - Starting out, you might not get to game with a celebrity. - But Ninja, you just said I could. Where he could have at least stuck the landing a little bit with some solid marketing tips, the branding section at the end just annoyed me because of how unspecific everything is. It's basically just a long list of Tyler's accomplishments. Most of which you're probably already aware of if you spent $200 to take a Ninja class. He continually stresses the importance of branding, which I agree with, but doesn't give you any tangible steps on how to do it. And I don't expect this class to suddenly transition into a graphic design lesson, but if this is MasterClass's definitive, "how to stream" course, they could at least go into some detail about the basic stream assets that you need to make. Your Subscriber Emotes, your channel banner, your alerts, the screen that says starting soon or be right back. All those things you can put in to make your stream unique to you. He barely even mentions any of those things. He's kinda just like, "look at my logo. Isn't it a cool logo?" Jokes on you. It's not even my logo anymore. I made a worse one. Also, why even include a section about brand deals? This is a 30-day class. No one's starting a stream from scratch is worried about doing a brand deal before they've even streamed for a month. - This is something that's gonna be online forever. And hopefully, teaching people how to become amazing professional streamers for decades, for a millennia to come. - Yeah, dude, 1,000 years from now. (laughs) 1,000 years from now, people are still gonna be watching this class. - Voila. - I think that a good portion of the beginning of this course is helpful to someone who wants to start streaming and they have no idea what to do, but it is very clear to me that not nearly enough care or attention was put into this for it to be worthy of the cost. Also like I don't think Ninja is just this undeniably affable guy. He's just really fucking good at Fortnite. And you can't teach someone to be as good as he is. You especially can't teach someone to be really good at a brand new game and be better than everyone else at it before they've all caught up to you. 'Cause that was kind of the initial wave of the early days of Fortnite for him. So to be someone who already has a net worth of like $50 million, and then you charge all your most hardcore fans off the promise that maybe they'll be famous like you, it's bullshit, man. This sucks. What I did genuinely enjoy the most about this was the community aspect of it. Like I said, there's a point where Ninja kinda puts the burden on you to support each other's dreams. But for the most part, people did. And that's cool because it's pretty easy to get selfish when you're starting something. And you're like, you know what? That's great. I see that you're streaming. I love that for you, but could someone watch my streaming? So it was cool to see people go out of their way to compliment someone set up or answer a question that someone had. It's funny to me that potentially, the most valuable part of the class is the one part that Ninja has no involvement in. There's so many cool people taking this class with all different kinds of content. I saw a Lego building stream. I saw a couple that streams at Disneyland. But my favorite streamer by far was this kid, Plushie Orca. - [Plushie Orca] If we don't get this Dub, I'll eat a spoonful of mayonnaise. No spoonful of mayonnaise for me. - Tell me that that's not the most badass clip you've ever seen. To their credit, the class does have its own TA that goes around interacting with people's posts, but it's never anything super specific to that person. What's your favorite piece of decor? What's your favorite conversation piece? What's your favorite piece or prop? Are you working on building connections in other communities? Are you working on building connections in other communities? Tom! Are you building connections? Let's go. Anything else? Anything else? Anything else? And before you ask, the TA is not Ninja himself. Not that I would expect him to be, although it would be really funny if he was commenting on these in third person. No, the TA is a mysterious and unknown entity. One who's really only there to make the community section seem more valuable than it actually is. The one silver lining with this course, if you spent almost $200 and you got to this point and you're like, that's it? You're still able to watch a ton of content on masterclass. It's just a matter of whether that's something that actually has value to you, 'cause it might not. You might have noticed Marques Brownlee just launched his own course about video creating and posting. And I feel like this class is just so much beefier than the one I just watched. He has a 21-minute video entirely dedicated to lenses. If you've ever watched his content, you know that he's extremely tech savvy and he also has a much more natural teaching cadence with the way he lays out information. Whereas Tyler, I assume was just riffing things off the top of his head, which is probably why he constantly trailed off into silence. - Streaming just gave me the platform to... And I think that's how you know... But I mean, my recommendation is... - But you know what? It's not fair of me to just sit here and criticize Ninja without taking his tips and tricks into the real world. So for the next three weeks, I will be following his advice to a T as I create my own Twitch channel and try to build it from the ground up with no promotion whatsoever. (dramatic music) Now, obviously, I don't want this Twitch account to link back to me in any way. If someone finds my channel, I want it to be entirely organic. So I'm going to try to create a persona that's both generic and yet still true to my own brand. I can't believe that name wasn't already taken. After some light branding and a little bit of finagling on OBS, I hit start on my very first stream ever. And I forgot to enable VODs beforehand. So there is no record of it. And of course, I had one of the most insane Fortnite wins I've ever had. I somehow escaped so many near-death experiences and made it all the way to the end. And then I won because the last player left just died. I didn't shoot him. I didn't see him. He must have just walked into the storm I guess, because I won without doing anything. And you can't even see my reaction to it. Once I realized that I had nothing important to do for the rest of the day until my wife came home in a couple hours, I went live for another first stream. This time, I had old school RuneScape open while I spent eight minutes trying to figure out how to get a chat overlay on stream. If you're wondering, I learned how to do that from a free YouTube video, not the class that I paid for. But right as I was settled in and satisfied with my work, the unexpected happened. Someone showed up. The possibility of this happening was so minuscule in my mind that I was not prepared for this at all. I actually almost panicked and ended stream. What if I panicked and ended stream? But I stayed on for a few minutes and had a short conversation with her. She told me she plays RuneScape too, and was literally just scrolling through the OSRS tab on Twitch. And she clicked on my stream because my name was scoliosisking. So one point for my awesome branding. What a great day. But obviously, I still wasn't satisfied. So before my third stream, I did a little bit of work to make the viewer experience better. I put the finding Nemo DVD menu on the TV and the stock photo. I found, I made a couple playlists for different moods. I might find myself in. And then I started stream with my microphone off for two minutes. And that's the thing about going live in front of zero viewers. There's no stakes, no pressure, no one to tell you that your audio levels are terrible. Oopsies. For stream number four, I made sure to test the audio levels beforehand. So that was good to go. And then I put on a hat, I guess you could say I was learning. Even though no one technically watched the stream or even tuned in at any point, I felt good about my growth as a streamer. I was kicking in the game, no spoon full of mayonnaise for me. I was being relatable. Y'all ever drink water before. I felt like if I just stuck to it, things would turn around eventually. And then my next stream took all the wind out of my sail. It was a combination of things, i was doing one of my least favorite Slayer tasks in RuneScape. A game I've already been getting kind of bored of lately. I am bored of this game. I was really tired that day and the repetitiveness of what I was doing certainly didn't help. When there's no one there to bounce energy off of, it's really hard to maintain energy. And you feel like you should the whole time just in case someone pops in and you have like two seconds to lure them in and you never know when it's gonna be, so you have to always be ready. Thank you so much to everybody who watched today, which from the looks of it was, nobody. But even at this point, I tried to stay optimistic and keep focusing on improving the quality of my stream. I thought I had a pretty funny idea for the alert that would play whenever I got a new follower or subscriber. The thing is like that doesn't matter if no one's doing either of those things. So I took matters into my own hands by blowing the dust off the stream deck that I bought in 2020, and never opened. With this device, I could repurpose all of the sound effects I've saved on my computer over the years, including this fart compilation that I forgot was over a minute long. (farting sound effects) For my seventh attempt, I put everything that I had learned thus far together and had what I think was my best stream yet. Thanks for jumping out of the bush, so I could see where you were, dude. I was energetic. I was being a little goofball, - just being a goofball. - I was making wacky faces left and right, just like the master himself. But yet again, I looked over and no one was there to watch. It was frustrating to feel like I was finally starting to hit my stride creatively, but it wasn't making a difference because no one was finding my stream. At this point, I had utilized just about every tip that Ninja had given me and then some and still, it wasn't working. I knew that something drastic had to change, but what? (dramatic music) - My crazy hair, like crazy blue hair. Blue hair, blue-haired person. My recommendation is dye my hair blue. Blue, blue, blue, blue. - I probably could have just bought a wig. Too late. Didn't think about that in time. So at this point, you're probably wondering, Drew, did you really spend four hours in a hair salon just because Ninja mentioned his hair a few times? And also did you have to download Instacart this week because you're too embarrassed to go to the grocery store? Yes to both. But the reason I dyed my hair is because I had something crazy in mind for the culmination of my journey. I was going to do a 24-hour stream. This was a big leap for me. Up until this point, I had only streamed for like an hour or two at a time just to dip my toes in the pool. And now, I was going to jump upside down into the ocean. So with my wife away for the weekend and my hair the color of toothpaste, around 12:30 pm on Saturday, I began, what I assumed would be the most successful night of my Twitch career. I was wrong. I got off to a pretty hot start honestly. I was feeling good. Turns out the beginning of a 24-hour stream is the same as a regular stream because you haven't done the 24-hour part yet. Really, this is no different than what I normally do. I'm just playing video games. No one's watching me. I'm talking out loud to myself. Well, I shouldn't say no one is watching. There was a point early on where a spam bot came in and advertised something. Sure would be great if they showed Ninja screen during that lesson on how to ban someone from your chat, 'cause then, I would know how to do it. It was several hours before any real person joined. It was my follower, Samantha. She didn't like my hair, so that's not good. Now before all this I had recently begun a pretty regimented meal plan and I didn't wanna lose all my progress just because of this video. So I made sure to use sound alerts, to build reminders into the stream. (rock music) ♪ It's oatmeal time ♪ ♪ It's time to eat some oatmeal ♪ ♪ And suck my own dick ♪ A fun surprise happened about three and a half hours into the stream. A new viewer showed up. I got a new person. Welcome In, I've streamed so many times. I've only had one chatter. I was confused by his message though. He said, "24 hours? Really?" Like he doesn't believe that I could do it. You don't know anything about me, dude. You don't know what kind of resolve I have. Then he told me that I look really bored and that I should chew on something. You know, it's not my fault that I have resting bored face. 'Cause my face does this. That was his final message in the chat. He never came back. When four o'clock rolled around, it was time for my yogurt. (rock music) ♪ It's yogurt time ♪ ♪ I'm talking Oikos Triple Zero ♪ ♪ I hope it sends me to hell ♪ It was around this time when the cracks were starting to form. The regret that I felt from blowing it with Chucky earlier was really sending me on a downward spiral. I started listening to DoodleBob songs. I took multiple DoodleBobs quizzes. I found out I was Rooney. Six hours in, I made me as Ninja on the Sims. And I designed them a beautiful house with no privacy, except for one curtain by the kitchen toilet. You also had a basement stream room filled with trees and portraits of far away landscapes, places he couldn't go to because he was on house arrest for tax evasion. I forgot that I accidentally made him really mean though. So every time he tried to talk to someone, it would turn contentious immediately. The only thing he ever wanted to do with them was get into a fist fight. I figured he was just lonely and didn't know how to express himself. So I put in an online order of a cat, a guy from the adoption agency brought him out to me and I got him confused with a different cat that I spent the next two hours talking to. So the guy took the cat that I was supposed to adopt. And the cat that I was talking to walked off my lot and I never saw him again. So that was when I stopped playing The Sims. A third of the way there, my one follower, Samantha suggested GeoGuessr and this was perfect for the state of mind that I was in. A few weeks ago, I was watching this guy Banthony refused to end his stream until he hit a state streak on GeoGuessr of 100. It ended up taking him 150 hours to do it. But when he finally did, it was one of the greatest moments I've ever seen on Twitch. - I can't look, I can't look. I can't look, I can't look. Yes, yes, yes, yes. - Not to brag or anything, but I'm pretty good at GeoGuessr too, my state streak is five. At this point, my focus was solely on marching forward. No one else had popped in at all. So I was just trying to kill time. I got over two hours out of RollerCoaster Tycoon. I even beat one of the hardest scenarios in the game without breaking a sweat. I am a gamer god, why is no one here to appreciate it? Around 4 am, I was starting to get a little tired. So I began a new play through of Wolfenstein II on the hardest difficulty. - [In-game Character] This is our U-boat now, Nazi. - All things considered, went all right for a bit until I hit what proved to be an impenetrable wall. So I mumbled something incoherent, exited out of the game and went on a short break of three hours and 42 minutes. Yeah, I didn't go to sleep and I don't wanna go back to sleep or I don't wanna go to sleep for the first time. I guess I thought about it. And I was like, no one even knows that I'm here. If I go to sleep right now, it's not like anyone will say, Drew. Hey, buddy, wake up. You gotta finish your stream. They wouldn't say anything because no one even knows that I'm doing this. As I drifted off to sleep on my couch, that's not quite long enough to hold a human-sized man. I started to have crazy dreams. The viewer count was climbing fast, 100, 1,000, 10,000 people all here to cheer me on and say POG and whatever KEKW means. I got to show them the game I invented that had a perfect score on Metacritic. It was Harry Potter themed. I don't know how I got the rights to that. Everybody applauded my effort and congratulated me on a job well done. And then three hours later, I woke up and no one was there, obviously. If people weren't joining the stream before, they weren't gonna pop in now and wait an indefinite amount of time for me to return from my hiatus. At this point, the stream was just a Spotify playlist gone rogue and my be right back screen that I was probably using a little inaccurately. But I went and grabbed my cold brew from yesterday out of the fridge and popped on some GeoGuessr while I slowly woke myself up. - Oh no, it transported me back to the past. I gotta find Doc. Even in this mental state, I managed to reach a new record breaking state streak. That's right, six. Time was melting away. And as the sun moved further and further towards the center of the sky, I knew that the prison sentence I had forced upon myself would soon be complete. With about 90 minutes left of stream, I decided that I would get a Fortnite Dub right as time expired. A lofty goal, I know, but I was up for the challenge. Just kidding. This is some of the worst Fortnite I've ever played in my life. Turns out video games are way harder when your brain doesn't work. With a little under 30 minutes left, my boy, Eddy popped in and it was a glorious moment. Four years ago, my Twitch career began alongside him. And even though I follow that up with roughly a 1,500-day break, it felt so poetic to be right back where I started. And during our second of two games together, he died because he went to ping an enemy and his controller made him take a selfie. But not even yet another quick loss could bring me down at this point. I was so close to being done. Who gives a shit? Fuck this stupid game. When it was time to get my Dub right as the clock hit 24, I realized, that wasn't going to happen. So instead, I jumped off a cliff and lived. The stream is over. I never have to do this again. I'm never going to do this again. Fuck you, Ninja. So let's recap. I streamed for about 40 hours on this account. And during that time, roughly 25 people came in at different points, but almost none of them stayed for more than a few seconds. Three people actually typed a message in the chat, but one of them was a bot. After spending $150 to dye my hair and delivering 24 straight hours of high octane content, except when I fell asleep, I grew all the way from one follower to one. I still have one follower. Big shout out to Samantha. You were there from the beginning. You were the only one there at any point. So even though things didn't exactly work out for me, I don't think Ninja's class is entirely useless. He taught me how to set up OBS. Everything else, like all of the specific overlays I wanted to do, using the stream deck for sound effects and scene changes. I fucking googled all that. And it was free. There are a handful of people on masterclass who don't speak much publicly. So if you're like a massive fan of them, it would probably be worth it to hear Mariah Carey, for instance, talk about singing. I'm not trying to learn how to sing, but it'd probably be pretty cool to hear her talk about it. But even if you are the world's biggest Ninja fan, I promise you, you have not run out of Ninja content to watch. He's probably streaming right now. And if you wanna learn how he streams pay attention to what he does and take notes, that's it. He's good at his job. He's been doing this for a long time. I think an aspiring streamer could learn a lot just from watching him. But you don't need to pay him $180 to tell you, sometimes, I'm talking a funny voice. Out of all the jobs on masterclass, his is the most publicly available. Like I can't just walk into a kitchen and look over a chef's shoulder to see how they made something. I don't know the process of writing poetry, just because I read a finished poem. I don't know what goes into getting a series picked up just because I watched the show. There are plenty of classes on here where that kind of inside look is something that's unique and valuable. But Ninja is showing you how he does his job every time he does his job. Because that's part of the job. You can't stream if you're not showing people. I lost my mind. My hair is blue and I lost my mind. I'm gonna take a walk. Babe, there's a guy in our kitchen. Don't worry, it's just me. And I'm here to cook today's sponsor, HelloFresh. Having food delivered straight to your door is one of life's greatest luxuries, especially when your hair glows in the dark. Here's the thing. If I'm not looking in a mirror, I forget about this. I can't see the top of my head from this angle. So I forget that I look like if a cupcake came to life. I had a neon billboard painted onto my scalp, demanding that everybody stare at me and I don't like to be perceived. So HelloFresh is good for that. The reason I've been subscribed to HelloFresh for years before this though is because of how much structure it adds to my life. When left to my own devices, I will often eat the worst and possibly most expensive food I can imagine because I waited too long to plan a meal. And now, I'm too hungry to think clearly. But every day that I have one of these bags in my fridge, I don't have to resort to that. My brain can stay on Dumbo mode and I can still have a fun and tasty meal. There's so much variety on their menu and they're constantly adding new stuff. I'm talking meatballs, fish, burgers, chickpea fritters, buffalo pork chops. They've got a bunch of vegetarian and kid-friendly meals. They've got lunches you can make in 10 minutes. Dinners you can make in 20. And they even have little cheesecakes. Anything you could possibly be in the mood for, they probably have them. And not only does HelloFresh help me save time grocery shopping, it also helps me cut down on food waste. Their supply chain is more streamlined compared to traditional grocery shopping, which helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions, according to a University of Michigan studies. And on top of that, I'm about to save you so much freaking money. If you go to HelloFresh.com and use my promo code, IMALITTLESTINKER16, you can get up to 16 free meals and three surprise gifts. Surprise, I'm in the box. Imagine. No, I don't actually know what the surprises are. They won't tell me. They said I haven't earned their trust yet. Again, that's code IMALITTLESTINKER16. Link in description. Hey, so does like anyone know when blue hair goes away or? Don't get me wrong. I love it. It looks so good and it suits me really well, but I keep turning all the pillows in my house blue. And I'd like to not do that anymore. So I'm sure a bunch of people are gonna go follow the scoliosisking account on Twitch, and that's great. I appreciate it. I'm never gonna stream on there though. If I do ever stream on Twitch in the future, just follow me @drewisgooden, and I'll put the link in the description. There's people I've been subscribed to for like three or four years now. And I'd like to keep that streak on there. So I'm not gonna make a new account and lose all that. To all the people watching this video 1,000 years from now, hello, I'm dead. I probably died 940 years ago. I don't know. But if you are watching this in the year 3022, comment down below what life. Is like is Florida underwater? Who's the president? Is "The Simpsons" still on? To everyone else, I will see you in the next video that I make, where I will be spinning around the whole time until we all get dizzy. So see you then.
