our guest today is 33 million subscribers that is so many subscribers he's built his channel through gaming and comedy and he's become one of the most iconic gaming creators on the internet he currently hosts the podcast distractible and go my favorite sports team is markiplier markiplier ladies and gentlemen thank you so much can we i just want to apologize right off the bat dude yeah like like you walked into a nightmare dude it's fine emotions get high you got to yell sometimes you have the sexiest voice ever so that's my god that's his thing i want to tell a story before we fully dive in the first time we met yeah with the wiggles yeah bar baker bar baker shoot right we were shooting and we were both playing the wiggles one of the characters and you started talking to me and i'm like this guy's awesome like his voice is great his energy is like i'm calm like i'm peaceful in my head and i didn't know who you were and then i got home and it was one of those things where i did the research and then i was like oh he's already a massive creator and since then you've i mean really just taken off man oh that's too sweet yeah no you you you're such you're you're an iconic you're one of the youtube greats dude and i i no i'm i'm honored to have you on this podcast seriously thank you dude i wanted to be here just because you and i as long as we've known each other we have not actually sat down and had a conversation i don't think so and and it's an honor to be on this couch with all you guys like i know impulsive has just been doing super well and you've been having all these guests and and i know that managers will talk behind the scenes about all the projects that here to promote and it doesn't matter to me i'm just here to talk man let's let's chat dude yeah because oh before we even continue about that i need to thank you because on this podcast you said something incredibly sweet about unisonis that not many other creators acknowledged about and it was just so heartwarming because it seemed like he really took the message what that project was all about to heart and it was just so sweet to hear and it was like not a lot of people got it or understood why and he was like you seem to really respect what we were trying to do and accomplish with that i want to talk about that because it fascinates me i have the worst memory ever can you tell me what i said i don't even remember what you're saying he's like i don't remember either but it was sweet markiplier is a goddamn greatest number it was just like very sweet of like you like the idea of something temporary some all this work being summed up and it's fine if that doesn't resonate with people it's not meant to but for those that do you said like it was a really smart idea and it was clever in in many ways i think i'm attracted to the things that you do because i think they're so great like i i i go that's good i wanted to do something like that and unis honest was was one of them for people listening i think this is fascinating i'm happy to open here um how would you describe it you me you made videos on this channel for how long one year one year every day yeah so that's what unisonness means well i don't even know if we're pronouncing it correctly it's latin for one year uh so we made a video every day roughly about 10 minutes you know that life the daily vlog life this was just like whatever we could [ __ ] out and uh like we were still running our own channels at the same time which was still daily uploads it was a slog of work all for 365 days actually it was a leap year 366. oh my gosh and then at the end of it we deleted it everything gone forever did you did you guys hear that do you know how much work that is to do 366 days of daily content first off doing it alone is hard doing it with someone else is a total other beast while operating your your main channels and then deleting them that was what you said too i remember because i horribly mispronounced it and then turned into a joke and looked like an idiot because everybody was like yo do you understand the weight of this project you [ __ ] no everyone did you do uno anus yeah i remember him saying there was there was something beautiful in the art of deleting it and creating a moment that was so meaningful and so fleeting yeah at the same time like you know what i'm saying like it was something in that sense and it's doing anything for that period of time regardless of you you deleting it thereafter is crazy like what was what was it like to finish that and then be like was there like a breath of relief after that it was mixed emotions like you do anything for a year and then you let it go it's like killing your baby it's hard it's hard to let go but the whole purpose of it was to let go so we had all that runway to be able to prepare for the end of it and honestly when we got to the end of it the day i walked into the set where we did the live stream i was happy i actually had a huge smile on my face and it's mixed reaction because ethan the other guy was a part of it huge like just as much as me my girlfriend amy was helping out we had a team of editors and it was mixed like some people were happy relieved that it was finally done sad that it was not gonna go on anymore um and then that reflected in the audience and those mixed emotions was what i wanted like i wanted people to care about something and then take it away but in a way where a lot of youtubers and creators and other people that make things on the internet they eventually fizzle and they fade and they fall and it falters and it's not a clean end it's it's just a very stretched out break as opposed to something that is concise clear meaningful and comes too soon and that really creates this feeling of sadness but profundity i don't even know if that's like it makes it seem important and uh that that little moment when it deletes and the screen goes black and everyone just was like oh god it's actually over that's beautiful i think as a creator that you're so much more evolved than i am because i'm running myself through that scenario man and i just don't know if i'd have the heart to press delete on something i worked that hard for yeah that was that was really uh a lot of people were like are you actually going to the lead are you but the trick is you make the decision before you even started it like i would not have committed to it without that and no and no regrets no regrets was it a deleted deleted or is it like an archive do you have amount of files we have the video yes i can just imagine you like sitting late at night with like some popcorn just crying i mean honestly you're not wrong there there are people that obviously re-upload stuff and we try to take them down as best we can but you know there's only so much we can do on youtube it's huge but occasionally i'll pull up like an old video and i'll watch it i'll be like those memories they live in my heart forever and the the arduousness of that journey and the work that was put into it is what gave it meaning if we'd only done one video a week it wouldn't have been as much if we only done two a week wouldn't as much it was the fact that we did every day and we never missed a day we were maybe like off by an hour on one or two days but we made it every single day as best as we could maybe you've already answered this in a roundabout way but why why why it was really kind of a message to both my audience and actually to other creators in a way because there's so many people out there that don't evolve right you evolve all the time you've changed a whole bunch you just signed with wwe yeah yeah was that real yeah yeah holy [ __ ] uh and and it's like so many people don't try new things they hold on to what is like in their hands and they hold on to that moment that gave them that beat of glory and they think that if they keep up with what that was they will ride that high for the rest of their life and the problem is it never lasts people will change the viewers change the creator themselves they grow older i'm growing older every day if i don't age with my content not that i really do i made pokemon smasher pass like that i loved that video i love that i love it that was one of those that was a [ __ ] out that was recent video yeah that was a few months fans loved it it got over it's like over 10 million pokemon smash or pass dude whether he'd [ __ ] with certain pokemon or not yeah actually i smashed fast to every single pokemon in the game you watch like anime porn no i don't actually no i know i know what it is it's hentai and i'm aware of it but i don't watch it i actually recently uh tried to cut all porn out of my life oh it's smarter you did yeah i did i did a few years ago the reason why is when i i've talked about this before but short story is like it helps your relationship with your girlfriend because i think whatever you're watching it kind of stays with you so if you're watching porn you go to the next person the next clip the next clip the next clip and then you're fast forwarding you're training your brain that you can only be satisfied if you're like changing your style of women and so like to be fair to my girlfriend i i wanted to like see if i could just see if i could bring up the the value of our sex and it's tremendous bro it really does change you up a lot you're going through that many videos because you were like the next video next video now i make it through like 10 seconds by the way of like one video oh i like candles i [ __ ] i have a lotion i have a blanket if it's fuzzy i have like i have my laptop but it's streaming up there dude i have my you know those little stickers that like turn the mood lights on let it flicker 45 minutes i even warm up like this 45 minutes that's if it's like i have shots that's amateur hour that's what i'm saying i'm not going for the three-hour marathon you don't love yourself george watch his porn for the story arc oh right of course of course i mean i have to be invested like why did it break in the first place for that man to fix it yeah absolutely how'd you get stuck in the washing machine why did you cut porn out three hours a day was too much it's no it's yeah who has that time but honestly it's like it's an adhd thing i've been doing more things to try to manage my adhd and try to because it's like what you were saying it's a dopamine like feeding frenzy it was what you were saying dopamine feeding frenzy of just like the next thing next thing and that's like a lot of what adhd is it's not so much an inattention it's always craving something more exciting than what's present little hits of dopamine constantly it's also like an addict a part of like an addictive personality as well yeah exactly i don't have that gene i don't have a strong addicted personality but then again i did play world of warcraft for like 10 years straight so i'm i it's give or take on one you ever play runescape no all right i don't understand i want to pin the world of warcraft thing we'll go on that in a second but uh dylan had a question i'm curious about too uh who is the hottest pokemon oh what was it it was that golf uh floor floor floral floor no garden or is was this were they hot like like like objectively this is an attractive yes it was one of the human kind of looking yeah yeah okay some of them are human i know right oh my god it's a problem well you know what are they doing to me man well you know about my relationship with hentai that's always been like one of my the tentacles and i forget it i used to talk about this on the show a little bit this is we're back like episode nine family friends yeah yeah we're brand now where where where were we i'm sorry yeah what was i thought you were you're talking about why i think oh right why you mentioned pokemon smash or pass and yeah oh evolving with your content yeah exactly oh right so creators they get in the cycle of like sticking to the one thing that made them famous and they they're afraid to let go of that and in that fear they never change who they are as a person and their audience can see that i'm not naming names here i like it that's kind of george [Laughter] a pleasure i remember this isn't really a problem uh but they their audience can see this like yeah over i've been doing it ten years now how long have you been doing it like seven eight seven okay all right tough question all right but but your audience grows like they go through an entire high school college phase they can see you and if they don't see you changed then they see you stagnate and they see you like not evolving as a person um and so with units honesty was like a message that you can have something build it up be super proud of it and let it go the only way to move on and evolve as a creator or any kind of creative person is to let go of what you have made and release it into the universe and like just let it be the moment that it was is what it was it can never be replicated but that moment was beautiful and it will live on in people's hearts and people will be inspired by it to make more things and as creators that's what we do whether we like it or not it's not a grand mission statement it doesn't really matter but at the same time the people watching us you and me make things all of us here on this couch will take that to heart and they will want to all the people who are like i want to be a youtuber i want to be on tick tock i want to be all these things it's because they saw other people walk this path all the people who do boxing now on youtube is largely because of what you and ksi and all these boxers and your brother like have done they want to do that like the creative clash happened it was very cool um but it's like these things they echo into what other people make and so unison is my little drop in the pond the giant ocean of content creation just a little message to feel free to change but also what do i know it's so good you've done a phenomenal job of evolving i'm i'm always impressed with the creators who can maintain relevancy for that long because as you know it's a marathon not a sprint um and and every year somehow i see you on the forbes top paid list top highest highest earning influencers list i i have a stat here number three highest earning youtuber 38 million but you don't lead with money no not really you just make money by default of i hate to say it but kinda yeah i don't focus on money first it just so happens that like in in my philosophy of how i create i just so happen to find success also my manager has made some decisions that are like oh it works so it's one of those things um but at the same time like with unisonness one of the sides that we don't talk about is that the merch side of it was incredibly successful um it was actually i didn't even really want to do merch at first i was like oh it's dropping from the meaning and then the merge sales started going [Laughter] there was a time during the live stream where it ended where we had bought the our merch company had bought every single black hoodie in america every single one at that time it took five months to fulfill every order from that live stream oh my god holy [ __ ] that's a lot of money yeah and again it's like i never in any way of this idea was money the first priority of it and obviously like i have enough money i don't need more money and i donate a lot of the money that i get to charity um but it's at the same time these ideas that lean more into these creative and letting go and these kinds of things that are more one-off things and more catered towards an emotion and not really a payoff of like good content um they can be incredibly successful if business is your strategy can you um run me through your revenue streams my revenue stream yeah and exact revenue and then yeah yeah your tax strategy give me money i could are you getting help i can help you is your addiction that bad uh so there's my youtube channel um uh there's like cloak um distractible go uh various brand deals that i do um no merch i i give most of my merch that i do that goes straight to charity okay um so i made that commitment like a few years because you're on that list every year man yeah and that's hard to do as well is it mostly adrev is the majority of that adrev mostly adrev brand deals um i know there's something i'm forgetting but again this is like how not closely i look at them yeah i have investments that i make and they've done well and um it's it's like i don't even know how they calculate that number because i'm i don't either i don't even follow it really no i don't know how they i don't know how they calc i think i think it might be on your tax returns probably yeah it's public i think so yeah it's just one of those things where i was like i don't i have enough and basically my personal account i pay myself through my company and that's more than enough than i would ever need in my life i i i've said i said this while i was talking to anthony padilla it's just like i make an ungodly amount of money and it feels unfair and i i'm open to talk about it because it just seems like such a cheat of the system to be able to have this much success when really all i want to do is make content and inspire others to make content but at the same time it's something i can't deny because to deny it would be a hypocrite a hypocritical thing to do it's just stupid when i have what i have and i'm able to do what i do and i'm able to eat have a roof over my head able to do whatever i want whenever i want the next thing i do is just like give it away to people that need it or try to invest in my friends to be able to lift them up and hopefully they find success and other people that inspire me uh so that they can move forward but again it's like it's at what point does it become too much what's what's your like living arrangement look like you driving a bugatti like to beverly hills every day i i rode my electric bike here oh sure you're the elon musk of the of the youtube game do you live in a foldable container no no i have a nice house okay like i have a i have a very nice house i'm very happy with it it's not a huge house uh but you know it's not exactly a cheap house um i i have a tesla um so like most youtubers do you know and then but that's about it you travel a lot or no no oh not not into the traveling i work every day seems like it this is going to be this is going to be probably outdated by then but you we're talking about tesla uh news just in now that elon has told twitter he's out i knew it so did i so did i how the [ __ ] does he keep playing everyone he literally has the world by its balls dude when you got that much money i guess he's that guy exactly and and looks like he's hyper reproducing oh he's got what another five six kids just had twins with one of his execs you didn't see that i did i missed that one yeah he's at nine he's at nine children oh so yeah because he's worried about about the world and and the uh humans going extinct i mean i mean personally i think we need his kids i see i see what he's doing and i like it yeah it's like uh angus khan or genghis khan except for like not as is it true like a lot of people have like his bloodline that's how many people he i've never looked into it i think how many kids did gangster have like like one out of seven people have his bloodline or something thousands one out of seven hold on a billion just be careful no no no no it's it's a lot it's not that much but yes but yes he hyper reproduced and i see what elon's doing i don't mind it we need more yawns um we need more use you're more of a compass than just the way you talk everything you just you're so like on and and and i understand when you lead with that money just kind of happens because so few people have it have you always been just like a a good guy have you had to have the failures that like most everyone else has to find yourself um i think so yeah there was a there's a couple paths that my youtube career could have taken at various points um you know it's it's really i think a lot of it was being raised by my dad you know he had a good moral compass and i think like that i took that in but i was i was a shitty kid you know not that shitty you know not acting out or anything but just like angry issues just like pure rage inside really oh yeah every time i was coming home like at least once a week i'd be punching my dashboard all the time just like for some reason i was just so angry all the time and i hated that about myself um and then my dad passed away when i was 18. um and i really tried to from that moment because after that i was so angry and just releasing and just like taking it out on everything around me i never hit anyone well i mean at one point in high school i broke someone's rib but that was a totally different story besides that guy yeah but it was it was one of those things where when you go through loss like that and you either go so many different ways like it doesn't really matter uh but then i had my own health crisis like i had a tumor in my adrenal gland and all of this rage did me nothing it did me dick it did me absolutely nothing help no way and i remember being on a table for a cat scan and i was getting a biopsy which is basically just being stabbed and you know some guy's pushing uh maybe like about as thick as this cable here in my back just like an eye like very little painkillers and i'm just getting stabbed on that and i said oh my god this this is real this uh this ain't a joke um and then i got the tumor removed it was non-cancerous thankfully and then i was just in the hospital i was like holy [ __ ] i have done nothing to control the course of my life i've done absolutely nothing and i from that moment on i was in my fourth year engineering school i was like i need to do something that i actually appreciate and i enjoy and that's when i started doing youtube wow another one of those moments yeah the ones we've been talking about all day those like oh [ __ ] moments in their life it's it's wild how those like brushes with mortality especially are big moments for people to realize yo i want to start doing something that that makes me happy makes me feel makes me feel like i'm making a difference in the world of some kind yeah i think it's because people are broken i think they kind of just with their bottom they just they're at their most humble they're like all right i can't go any lower like this there's no way out and you just really just take your ego out of it and you see it for what it is but mark did you did you see someone making youtube videos that you wanted to emanate or or emulate or did you just leap of faith completely no absolutely and it's this is kind of the craziest thing because right now i'm working an internship at corridor digital do you know those yeah i'm in their office as an intern i'm their intern no way and that's the thing is just like i can do whatever i want so i decided like i want to work with these guys because they freddie wong like all those vfx videos those were the videos that i loved same and i was like that is inspiring and i'm not doing the same thing but the sheer fact that i saw something that i loved and i'm like holy [ __ ] these guys are making stuff on the internet and now i'm able to and i've met nico and sam before but now i'm working with them in their office just helping out i did their dishes before i left like and but i don't care because it's just being that environment in that environment around people that inspired me learning from other people trying to learn new skills about vfx which i don't know anything about trying to learn unreal engine 5 trying to learn all this new technology for creating even bigger projects i don't have an idea of what i want to do with it but i know that if i learn it i'll get an idea when i see what it's capable of and this is like that is super cool right you're making 35 million dollars a year and you're washing people's dishes yeah that's a great mindset are you trying to get higher are you trying to get hired have you asked them no no no they couldn't afford me you're fascinating man it's it's so cool but how do you not approach that position as a as the creator you are like like how much of a student are you really or or sometimes if you see them do something that you wouldn't do are you giving input it's it's an exchange yeah i'm getting input on basically my philosophy of creation like i as much as i say i'm like purely about the the emotional aspect of it i'm pretty good at clickbait yeah it's all the metadata [ __ ] i don't usually play that game but i can so i'm able to contribute in ways if they want to be algorithmically successful um but at the same time they do teach me a ton of stuff there's stuff in terms of visual production and vfx that learning it helped me with the production of my youtube original show because i was able to communicate with the vfx supervisor and actually ask for things that weren't going to be ungodly expensive or take way too long so it made the process able to really hone in on what i wanted to accomplish was the budget that we had um and so these these tools that people might think are not worth learning like i always like i pursue learning all kinds of different things because i don't know where it's going to be useful you know so it's and it's fun like that's really it but but time man like you you said to mike you you work every day and you obviously have this crazy work ethic but how how do you determine if something is even worth your time to learn something like can't just hire a vfx guy and give the notes afterwards because it to me it doesn't really matter i pursue things that i like and that that's kind of guided me the entire way um but i would say in hiring a vfx guy how are you going to know if he's good how are you going to know if he's going to be able to execute your vision appropriately how is he when he talks to you and talks about like oh we need this physics simulation 3d model and then we're going to do a scan your body like how do you know he's not bullshitting you yeah that's going to cost you time and nothing's more valuable than time i'm all about efficiency in terms of everything i do yeah you mentioned the engineering background i'm sure that probably has something to do with it what what branch did you biomedical engineer biomedical engineer so you're basically like a genius no i mean but you are yeah you probably are man the thing is like i'm not i'm not a believer in genius right i don't think that genius is real i think people can be very smart in very particular things i think that people can be really imaginative i think people can be really good at math um but it's like sectors there's like a circle and you know you you push in one direction we talk about this all the time i think i think genius is always based on a certain vertical no very few people are like uh multi-spectrum geniuses yeah exactly like what are you a genius at exactly because genius implies perfection and i don't believe anyone's perfect and it's like if if someone you call someone a genius it gives them an excuse like oh don't worry he's just a genius you got to excuse all of his other shitty problems that's like that's not a good person like a holistic person cannot be perfect in every aspect there's always flaws there's always i have flaws we all have flaws you have so many flaws i was like yeah you know what i've never got insulted with such a sexy voice i didn't i wasn't even offended i was like he's talking to me you used to appreciate that thank you so much are you keanu reeves no no what if he just like this have you had he doesn't have to do that we love keanu though i think everyone does you say whoa whoa dude you're [ __ ] kind of where did the voice come from because that's a big thing uh voice your voice yeah why is it like that i think vocal cords i don't know my dad it's just perfect that's [ __ ] bro you know he practices this [ __ ] at home he's like well like dude i'm mad like no like i'm gonna get a little gross but i kind of want to hear you orgasm bro what do you sound like oh i've arrived uh i just think uh it's it's um you know just like genetics i guess um but you but admit you you lean into it a little bit huh not really but you have that mic you got that studio so it's extra crispy if i wanted to really yeah yeah you do that you do that you get asked do you get asked to do voice stuff uh i mean on occasion but you they're not banging down my door to do voice stuff markiplier [Laughter] dude you do have a voice for radio podcasts anything oh thank you your [ __ ] just has the face for radio yeah yeah yeah do you wake up do you wake up a lot of days and like say you're having a bad day like do you ever wake up and you're just like dude i i have way more subscribers than logan paul like is that like a is that like a thing every single day i checked just to see how many away oh man not at all i stopped looking at subscribers way way way long ago i have to be honest with you again i i said this game for the real ones is a [ __ ] marathon and a long one not a sprint yeah and i'm always curious who's gonna make it and you continue to surprise me with your growth man in your opinion what is it about the things that you make that resonates with an audience and that makes them keep coming back to your content year after year after a year i don't know i thought i would have been dead by now seriously i don't know how i'm here it's just like i just keep trying new things i try to surprise him i insult my audience all the time you know they're just a bunch of [ __ ] you know who you are you are but i love them you know and that's it's just like i think they know that the moment that i stop having fun making videos is the moment that i stop and like that's just how it is for me uh the moment like the numbers don't matter to me because i like making videos i like making content and that's impossible to be that's impossible to fake 100 especially for as long as you have exactly you can fake it for a year but then people start to see through like cracks appear everywhere always you cannot hide it you can't be perfect no one can everything erodes it's just time kills everything sounds like a scene from the matrix man you got something to tell us you are you what i find interesting though is a lot of um uh super successful youtubers have been making videos for the majority of their life were you um before you dropped out of college or or did you just pick up a camera and you're like you know what i actually do like filming myself and putting it online no that's a thing uh i started out like i want to be a youtuber and i've got a camera i've spent five hundred dollars on a canon t2i oh yeah i didn't even know how to use it of course so i returned and then i just like okay fraps is a free program that records games i'm gonna download that i got a 50 microphone here we go i didn't even have a camera like in my first few videos wow because i did not know what to do i had not picked up a camera in my entire life until that moment that's that's insane that's that your story is vastly different in that regard but then did you fall in love with it and and if so again you you've already answered this but it wasn't because of the numbers or the results because a lot of people will then be motivated by the views and the subscribers but then you fell in love with the process of creation yeah after the fact i'm i'm not gonna deny the numbers are great people paying attention to you i was a [ __ ] nerd i was like i was untalkative my entire time you know i lost my virginity way late in life i think 20. no 21. yeah because i was like all leading up to my 21st birthday i was like i wanna i want to lose my virginity before i can drink come on and then it didn't happen but then finally one night later uh but the thing is like i had no ambition to be a youtuber up until that moment and it was just like it was one thing my brother actually my brother told me that people played video games online and they recorded themselves and they they started youtube channels with that and i was like i can do that i can play video games and then um it's just like i started making videos and people saw my my channel and yes it was it was it's intoxicating like the idea that people actually appreciate what you make so yes it's enticing and i think every youtuber who finds success feels that and it's a trap that you can fall into and i almost fell into it many many times and and so many people they fall in and out and it's just one of those things where you start to believe in the god that you are and that people say you are but the thing is nowadays i don't read comments much i do occasionally but bad comments don't bother me because i they don't know me but the other side is that good comments don't bother me either i don't even think about them because they don't know me either for sure so what they're saying is just as much of the lie as the bad comments so it doesn't matter either one because either of them don't matter to my mission of making content and it's taken me a long time to get to this point that's an involved creator thought that's an evolved creator thought and it's super healthy when you're in that space because nothing bothers you you realize it's all just noise chat or keyboards like at the end of the day you know who you are you know what you're doing you know what you love and nothing's gonna affect that um what do i want to mention here i was going to ask did did that um initial like uh feeling of people accepting you and create credibility that created more confidence for you to create so like do you think do you think you needed that because i look at a lot of these like upstart creators who uh you know are on that grind and don't and it takes a little bit longer for them to get that bump of of success that acts as that fuel as that credibility what what do you say to those people or like or or what was what was the ride like for you and what did that create for you uh from like a confidence standpoint um it can be a trap i would say because the confidence that instilled in you if it's propped up by what other people say it's just as fragile as it ever was and you can fault even harder than before i would say that it's not new territory to find the surge but the problem is and this is what i actually feel bad about new creators compared to like when i or when you started is the rise is meteoric and then it gets stronger every single year it's these people that blow up they just launched into the stratosphere of sudden fame and fortune it's it can destroy someone who hasn't had a longer curve to be able to get used to it and feel the pitfalls and see other people who've gone through the pitfalls but at the same time it's beneficial because they can fall back and see other people that have gone to pitfalls they can learn from the mistakes of the past so it all balances out it's happening i think more on tick tock for sure yeah than any other platform yeah i mean man some of these tick tock stars and we knew that it would happen and it's happening as we speak but well like gone yeah but you just blow up too quick and then what now where are you yeah and how do you how do you pivot you know that's the other thing attitude's a big thing too like i feel like the faster the cockier for some reason i don't know i don't know if that's what you think well no because like i'm better than everyone else i hit this metric before anybody else hit this one faster than everybody and yes it's true because it will always be true but at the same time it can give like each new generation and i i've got no problem with like new generations of creator i'm all about it um but it's just like it gets that the ego grows and grows it's like you know you started on vine right yeah it's funny because my girlfriend uh went to osu you were at osu oh you oh you right ou at the same time and she says she was only there for a year but she's like i remember logan paul like just running around campus filming vines i'm sorry no it's totally fine it's actually cool like it's because i'm i'm from ohio as well like i'm cincinnati-based oh no way oh is every creator from ohio why is that and they're great they're great they're all great dude what's in the water it's in the water it's like this water right here this is prime no i have actually go this is an honest review if it's [ __ ] i'm going to spit it in your face oh that's good well i love you mark thank you man only 20 calories 10 coconut water this is incredible if only i could get this at a store near me walmart target kroger cps vitamin shop gnc now sam's called multibacks and if you're in the uk asda now yeah wow dude oh we have them in arizona yeah now did walmart's targets in arizona oh no i mean like they were always sold out and now like they're they're they're opening up more and more stores so people aren't buying them anymore no they're like buying them putting them in mom and pop shops like i went to sean o'malley's place and all these stores had them in their front windows to just show people that they have them they're oh they're upselling they're upset yeah they're buying from target and charging for resalers yeah your girl your girlfriend now went to ou i think so yeah how um how long have you guys been dating um this will be seven years old later this year you gonna propose no can't talk about that okay so interesting no i was i was yeah i was that kid in in college because for me it was it's bad but it was a bit of a playground for my media ascent that's kind of all i treated it as like everyone at that school to me was a stranger that was subject to content that i wanted to make i i thought that it was a fun place to do that you know um anyone who does like man on street style videos is like that you went to college for four years and you could see it just you're educated and then just the way you talk everything you do is you're very smart about it um and i'm curious what you think of the current state of youtube having seen it all like where we are at right now where i'm not i'm not sure stories are leading anymore i think the algorithm is in an interesting spot oh yeah if you want to talk about that yeah absolutely the algorithm dictates uh what people see it's worse on tick tock because the algorithm is god on tick tock the for you page like even i on tick tock only go by the for you page i don't follow anybody i don't need to because it shows me what i'm so good um youtube uh it's in its current state it's good in a way for the individual creator to better leverage monetization tools to be able to sustain their creativity right you've got so many different ways like with ad revenue ad rates are going up you've got like the super chat super whatever the thanks thing and then um you've got integrated shop uh like merch shop in there there's a lot of tools for people to get up off the ground with less follower base than when i started right so people can leverage their creativity and sustain it better that being said because of the way the algorithm works it is harder for people to give that word of mouth kind of shareability um because usually someone doesn't have to tell their friend did you see that video because the algorithm pushed it to everybody at the same time so there's less reliance on that kind of and then everyone can kind of find their own thing i think youtube could do with a curation tool with like some way for the community to create a sub channel that's like i pick these good videos if you subscribe to my channel these are my recommendations maybe do a tiny revenue split without interesting because that would be a view i would never get if someone suggested that on their channel for my video it's like that's fair you earned that like a few percent of the revenue yeah a way for the community without having to make things and then they could do the they've got the cutting feature in youtube now to create compilations like people rip videos and upload them anyway why not bake it into the system so that you enable people to make some money off of it and really get some creativity in the editing part of it but it gives all the credit and most of the revenue to creators but it creates it allows people to actually be like okay the algorithm isn't god here's what's actually a good video 100 yeah i'm curious what you're watching like are you consuming content oh yeah every day what kind of stuff uh right now it's electric unicycle video one more time electric unicycle videos yeah can you ride a unicycle no god no but i bought one uh electric yeah you bought electric you can go 35 miles i did not know that there was oh they like people transport themselves oh oh wait hold up hold up [Music] oh i oh oh i know those you got one i bought one yeah cool it doesn't come in yet come sunday very cool very exciting just preparing watching videos don't do that it's the way you're standing or is it you're sitting okay so there's two types of electric one wheel device one is called the one wheel and it's like a skateboard type thing yeah the other is literally a unicycle it's got the one i got is a 2 200 watt motor with like ungodly number of batteries and go 35 miles an hour that's the low end i i saw a tick tock yeah by the way again the tick tock algorithm godly that's before you page you're so good of of someone charging one of those things up a hill and he he they are so powerful he was getting so high up this hill but then the thing just would fall back down and it was it's strong and durable yeah but just as it's rolling down the hill i don't know where i'm going with the story no but look where it led us this is a great place i mean we're talking about electric unicycles oh god i saw a video of someone wiping out at 45 miles an hour just like just like you the the thing just goes because there's barely any suspension and his chest just hit the ground no no i almost killed myself on a one wheel oh my god oh so so that so this is not what you got obviously but when you go up the hill on the onewheels you have to maybe you have to babysit it back a little bit because if you get to a point where the hill is too much of a grade and obviously you push forward to propel yourself the older ones didn't have a sensor on them that would say hey man you're about to dig the nose of the board into the ground so i'm going like i don't know probably 20 plus miles an hour obviously no [ __ ] helmet like a [ __ ] and i dig the front end to the into the ground propel myself face first into the cement and just ran the whole side of my face and my legs into the ground it was it was quite a i had a great little raspberry he took a tumble yeah my buddy ren he's at his house years back i'm still working on the lawsuit my buddy ren he's at corridor um he he's actually right now there's a one-wheel world championship yeah and he is in it right now dude he's really what's the criteria you just be good enough and brave enough to go down there fast oh yeah speed downhill like just crazy long crazy obstacles he once fell off and exploded his shoulder yeah literally he hit on his elbow and it exploded oh my god he got back on the board the doctor said no one wheeling he hops on two weeks later falls off explodes his collarbone like those things may be the most dangerous way hold on what at what point do you not listen like why why i don't know that's that's silly this guy this guy has broken 17 bones in his life i am am not like that i have ptsd from falling i've i had the speed wobble incident on the long board going 30 like pulled my hip flexor i just can't get back up i respect the superior athletes it's why i don't motorcycle i ha i had one at one point and i was lane splitting up 405 and there was a big ass bus in the carpool lane and then there was this giant semi in the left lane i don't know why i was there but i was lane splitting and there's just a bus mirror right here and i'm just like where do i go if i wobble if i fall i'm going right under the semi wheel so i just tuck my head as far under my elbow as possible and hope that i don't hit the mirror and i didn't but i drove home after that and i sold my bike oh my god that was that was ridiculous it was too close my brother's extremely reckless we grew up riding dirt bikes atvs everything and he got a crotch rocket yeah in his adulthood here in l.a yeah and would ride it religiously can do wheelies like it was it was great he was learning like to go down that path yeah and one day got in an accident thank god everything was okay but slid his bike like 40 feet and then ended up [ __ ] just slamming into a car came home limping like all the [ __ ] is [ __ ] up and never got on a bike after that again yeah no you have that one cool but i love the electric bike like my electric bike it's which one did you ride here i got the super 75 oh so good yeah so fun so good i wrote it from downtown i went i've gone 26 miles a day on it just a day those are like manageable those things you can if they go well like four thirty this one goes about like maybe thirty four yeah like that's the one that you had yeah those are amazing you could go on like dirt i mean i don't know about yours but his we could take it off off-roading oh yeah yeah it was just mine's got dual suspension it's fantastic i love that thing where do you live i live over in uh north glendale okay you just take that thing everywhere yeah pretty much now i got it two weeks ago i put 260 miles on it so cool dude i love it it's so fun take it everywhere yeah i just love the thing i don't even i don't even think i did that with my car get out more stop working so much and get out of your house go do something can we talk about video games i was just gonna say that i just want to talk about video games let's talk what are you what are you talking about your video game journey where did it start where is it now what's your top call of duty of all time if you have one did you play metal gear solid let's talk about video games man you like fortnight big stop some part of it i guess no i started on doom oh i got started way early i was five my dad got doom for the pc ancient doss put in the floppy disk and everything and i just blowing up demons blood everywhere it was great duke nukem uh oh hell yeah dude god we should not have been playing those [ __ ] you know that the ray that makes sense explode that traumatized me forever if there's a movie with a character like i can't watch it okay what was the game where it was like uh an animal would walk across and then you have to shoot it frogger no that was it no no uh no no it was like uh no they're like they're like deers and [ __ ] that you're hunters yes oh the arcade yeah that's that's no but it was on a it was on a like a desktop but it was like the only game that i ever we're talking about some real [ __ ] right now man i played runescape nobody here no no no one wants to mind for rocks right yeah that's what you do in runescape you mine for rocks we're talking about it's not only we're talking about night and you shine and you can make armor you take that [ __ ] seriously he's right george you're being an [ __ ] yeah i'm not being an [ __ ] i like runescape it was an amazing match a great game back to what mark said you have many flaws but you can be fixed that was the other half of it you have hope it may not seem like you have hope but you do listening to you say it i feel like i have fun i played world of warcraft you did dude no way bad addictive oh my god he was the worst yeah i almost flunked out of college i was gonna say did it affect your real life it really really did it it like hampered my entire social life but it was worse for a friend that i introduced me and my buddy bobby you talking about turn someone on to you that's how it works wait wait what's wrong with it that's how it works you turn everyone around your closest friends onto it this is why it's bad uh we hadn't seen this guy for three years but we all had a big meet up we're like we're going to b dubs let's get some wings uh me and bob get there and then this guy shows up two wrist brace from double carpal tunnel uh unable to flex his pinky fingers anymore just like really bad shape and it's because he literally plays world of warcraft every day oh my god always how does he eat in like stuff like how does he make elbows he has no no i'm saying like does he have a job like he's like for that to be a thing oh i don't know man man that game is tough what what is it about world of warcraft that you just got so sucked in i don't know you know you start to get good and then it's like i got in the guild and then a better guild and then the better gear we were number one on the server and then i was realized i was staying up to 2 a.m just playing a game and yep i was like that was it i was 13 years old it's 7am for the first time i had seen the sun rise from being up all night and then my guild kicked me out i was i was crying on the floor as a 13 year old like like throwing a tantrum by myself and i realized like this is pathetic but but in the moment also some of the best most important times your life like if you think about the good like for me it was call of duty black ops 2 and modern warfare 2. yeah like some of the best times of my life was with my homies i had like snacking i had fun playing those ones for sure for sure it was a blast always wow not like you don't have fun like that it was just so intense like i really cared like that character slave or level 70 no mage burning crusade like did you have money and finances in there no so then i went to the private server oh did you ever no i did a little bit but it was not the same you know gotcha i i bought all the upgrades no i'm talking about did you guys have like a bank and stuff oh yeah yeah okay dude my my friend on that game was the richest person on the server this guy ran the auction house oh that's so cool did he buy and sell oh yeah he bought everything in seoul there yeah yeah i knew people were treating it like stock brokers yeah they would play it and this is i don't know i don't really i've never played this game but in my version of it i learned how to rob people and scam people so like i know it sounds really [ __ ] up i would never do that real life but i i didn't know because i grew up realizing how addicting it was to me it wasn't that big of a deal so when i was stealing like millions from people's accounts i later on in life i was like what if i [ __ ] somebody up mentally because like i would like making money in there was really hard and i found a way to really take their money out in runescape yeah like because i played i played runescape so for example i would uh i would have another guy that i don't that i know but he would be like pretending like he didn't know i'm like selling a runescape whatever right you go to the auctions where you could sell stuff yeah and then i would get him and a guy that i don't know and i'm like all right guys i'm gonna teach you how to double your finances but you gotta promise me i won't teach you anybody and he's like what so we go around the castle and i'd be like i'll teach it to this guy and this guy watched me make this guy money by dropping money and hitting f12 so it shut their server down they didn't even know which world they were uh so they would leave all their money on the ground and i would take it yeah and i in one day i made like i made like six million which it would take me like 10 years yeah i wasn't scared do you still think there's hope with the flaws not anymore damn bro you were just robbing runescapers did you guys ever play counter-strike yeah okay good i honestly i shot that out to distract i didn't think you would actually how did how did you get out of of wow prison just any video game addiction because it can seriously get addicting it's such a fun world when you're in that space but how do you remove yourself and have a healthy relationship with video games um the thing about it is like you know if you work at a your favorite restaurant you don't eat the food anymore i make video game videos for a living so i don't really play most recently with zelda ring i played a ton of that i love that game but at the same time it's like even now i haven't played a game in weeks for myself i have casually once elegant ring was done i just didn't do anything and that's why i'm kind of sad is because that was a huge part of my life and now it's like all about content creation and that's cool and all but i do miss some of those moments like what you were saying some of the good memories of just like sitting in my basement in my mom's basement uh playing world war craft just killing a dragon things were very simple and i think you could probably attest to this things are very complicated now and that's not as fun as the simplicity of running around campus making vines sometimes like those were the pure good days and now it's not that it's worse now but it is much more complicated you just know more you've seen more there's more stuff going on so much noise no no can't like do you think like it's called george's uh burger flipping moment five guys he talks about it all the time he was we're so happy he's just flipping the [ __ ] bird like how can we can we go back should we i think you can and i i've been on it i've been like at my happiest stage in a very long time and i swear it's just disconnecting from things that really bring you that toxic energy like the impulsive group chat just you guys in general no man would you ever go on like because people do get addicted uh to video games and like video games are villainized by people would you ever think about going on like a late night show potentially to defend video games but i mean man i feel like i got better things to do than defending well did you go on kimmel uh i've i've haven't been on an interview with kimmel but you know i've been on a show talking about video games doing that thing oh defending of the video games yeah but defending of let's plays it specifically was because he was like he didn't understand people why would you watch a game but it's like why would you watch people play sports like you everyone can play a game everyone kind of want likes to watch people can i be honest with you yes i thought the same thing oh i s ah man i'm gonna get fried for this one i'm sorry to all the streamers and people who watch people stream for if someone have i yeah if someone pitched me twitch a decade ago i would have said why would anyone watch anyone else play video games when i could just play myself to right i never understood it until i saw ninja play and he was so [ __ ] good at fortnite i found way more entertaining i don't know what it is about fortnite in particular that was easy for me to like watch even when you played i'm [ __ ] good i watched it she actually is good i've never watched the secret brahma ninja never never won see wait are you good at video games you just play them no i mean certain video games i'm good at platformers i've i'm amazing does your girl play as well i always wonder how that affects real relationships just different games you know how'd you guys meet uh [Music] she's from cincinnati as well so it was like one day i was back home it was tender but it's just like um that's a long story but it's like we we met and it's okay i'm [ __ ] up i'm working on myself but we did we didn't uh meet and start dating there she was actually went to emerson after ou and then was uh okay was uh out here during a time when i was having a bad year yeah um and so that's how we met um but it was what were we just saying i don't know bro but i you strike me as a real put together guy wait did you want to hit something do you want to hit me you do it probably george i would say i think you should hit me i feel better we want to touch on something that we what were we just talking about i don't know because i have so i have something okay no you go for it i was gonna say you seem like a pretty put together guy right but i want to know the [ __ ] up mark okay i wanna i wanna know i wanna know the other side of mark right like like like you ever drink man you ever smoke some weed and have a good time man no oh and this sucks so i i smoke weed sometimes but i don't really like the feeling of it but i can't drink because the last time i drank i had a heart attack oh god yeah so i'm half korean right so i get the asian flush um but i get real bad like i got it from my mom she takes one tiny sip of wine like just red as a beet um and for me it was fine i was like i'll manage it the other half's german they drink better um so but one night it's really late and i hadn't had that much but it's like that whole week i'd have a few drinks that night like three beers a night that's it um but this night i was drinking i go to the bathroom i feel dizzy i'm like that's weird dizziness doesn't go away next thing i know i wake up on the bathroom floor i had apparently hit my lip on the way down on the bathtub um to my buddy who's holding my head with a bottle of water practically waterboarding me like oh wake up um and i didn't know what happened i had the whole thing of my left arm hurt and i'm like this is weird they call an ambulance i'm like sorry guys this is silly you know it's crazy i get in the ambulance to drive me in the hospital i'm like ah man this is i'm so sorry i'm wasting your time with this and then the machine that i'm hooked up to go start going and he looks over he's like you feeling okay and i'm like now that you mentioned it no i was like yeah you're having a heart attack and then i just go home like just out and um it was because of the drinking yeah oh my gosh how much had you drank that three beers the thing about it is with the asian flush i'm not it's not everybody i'm not saying that no asians should drink ever but for me particularly it drained my magnesium so heart needs magnesium to pump um and a few other nutrients um and so it just caused syncope which is just fainting uh because the heart was not able to get enough blood to my brain and then i saw hydrogen how old were you when that happened this was six years ago okay but you hadn't drank up until that point or no i drank yeah oh and that time it was yeah okay and you're just unwilling to go back yeah it was hard it's not worth it no not real unwilling to kill yourself he survived i did yes i don't think it's one you uh risk again yeah i know once you want to start enough actually i had two that night so two is enough i'm good two heart attacks in one night yeah that's two did two heart attacks yeah because one that made me pass out in the bathroom and then one in the ambulance on the way though oh my god i double trouble i do see what you're saying were you doing other unhealthy stuff at the time were you eating a lot of hash browns just like or like fatty foods i guess sorry i mean sure i have a lot of flaws i still do and not as many flaws yeah that's my thing man i'm sorry [ __ ] good to the hassle i love ash brown so much michael does he loves all the brown media i like i love cool i know i love hashbrowns i just didn't know where it came from my company's called bacon-wrapped scallops oh i had some of johnny's wedding and the girl who who came out she gave me an order yeah and she's like bacon wrapped scallops i was like oh my little sea is called bacon wrapped scallops she goes okay don't care anyways yeah you have any hash browns not on me no nothing enough if you had a hash brown on what if you just pulled it out what movie is that where you pull the guy yeah [Laughter] just at what point is it more flaws than none that's why we love napoleon dynamite you did it tater tots though oh that means if you squish them and then they could look like no man i have problems i know you uh you do look fit though oh thank you are you working out i am again now so i had worked out with a personal trainer for like a year and a few months and then i fell completely out of it because i was doing my youtube original and just like i had no time for it that's an excuse i'm sorry alex i don't think it i don't think so i don't think it is i think it is i i think i think i think working that hard in a creative pursuit and also doing physical is incredibly difficult yeah yeah it was tough but i got back into it recently uh the biking is helping and tremendously but it's electric i still pedal okay so like but it has that push look i'm trying man you're [Laughter] no it's just that little bit extra so it's like i feel more active i'm getting well not fresh air downtown i rode through it oh god it stinks oh yeah i had no idea i was in my car model x with like the hepa filter in there the bio mode i had no idea yeah but um no just getting a little exercise working out with my trainer so i'm getting back into it the arms are looking beefy dude thank you how they are what are you what are you doing in the you doing obviously free weights and stuff with the trainer i lift something up i do whatever yeah i don't know i got

up alex fine no oh that would be crazy he's got a crazy trainer here alex fine dude he's like a legend yeah he's stuck and it happens come on let me get the usb port are you ever going to box no here's the thing i don't want to get punched in the face okay no i thought you could read i thought about i messaged you a while back when you were like hey let's do a wrestling thing i was like hell yeah dude oh yeah i i wrestled i only i quit freshman year so i'm not very good but if like [ __ ] it for youtube thing i'll do it but it's just like with boxing i actually do follow boxing like oh cool not a lot but i've watched fight breakdowns i've watched fights before i like boxing i respect boxing and i know how dangerous it can be for someone who doesn't really know boxing to get in a ring and actually box um it's it's why like going into the creator crash i was kind of like a little nervous because i'm like [ __ ] if someone actually does get hurt it's not going to be great i hope they don't take it too too seriously yeah and then you know uh like my guy ryan mcgee like i just it hurt to see him getting like hurt but man it was so beautiful that he just ate those punches and came back from i really like those moments in boxing like you know those are what make it beautiful i think boxing is a beautiful sport but i don't want to get punched in my face i feel you though so then why do you work out then if you're not not not just a box but is it just to be healthy and stay in shape yeah pretty much yeah i just want to be happy with my body you know some a lot of a lot of things you know pursuits can be selfish it doesn't have to be for something else it's just like i want to look good and be happy with what i have i want to be able to pick up something heavy i want to be functionally strong and i'm not quite where i want to be right now which one i'm working at again and it's just like that's just for me you know it's not really for anybody else i got you i ask because truthfully i i find it hard to find motivation to go to the gym if i'm not working for something you know a goal i've just never worked out just to to be in good what about like for mental health like i feel like any time i come out of the gym well that's me tony robbins really [ __ ] me up when he said that when he said like if you take like 10 people that have like depression eight of them will dissipate if they go to the gym and so i was like oh i'm gonna try that and dude it really did it turned i actually journaled to see the days that i didn't work out versus the days i did massive differences yeah well no that's a that's a hundred percent i didn't know that though and i can't believe it took me 29 years to figure out because it's dopamine just like anything else it's back to the dopamine that we talked about earlier so anytime you work out you get that release if i am having a bit of an anxiety thing which they come few and far between i say that with privilege i don't often struggle with these types of things i will immediately run my body through [ __ ] physical hell and afterwards i feel so much better yeah so yes in that way for sure but here's the thing though exercise should be fun i think sure with my e-bike uh like yes it's given me electric assist but i pedal that thing hard to try to get like as fast as i can take turns as hard as i can hold on for dear life um and like that's a workout i get my heart rate you know up 150 sometimes just even with an e-bike and it's like because i'm just like going as hard as i can and that's fun and it's exercise and uh with working out like i recently was like i [ __ ] hate lifting a stupid goddamn bar it's the stupidest thing so i bought a bunch of sand from home depot literally you can ask my girlfriend this you thought i was insane because sand is six dollars for a 50 pound bag i got some duffel bags i loaded them up with sand i got a seventy greg paul is creaming his pants right now with the sandstone speaking his la my father well he loves this and what's his name too that would send us to the beach uh at the navy seals training tim yeah i didn't think i knew other people had to think this and i just filled these bags and i just started like lifting them carrying them throwing them i was just like [ __ ] god it was so much more cathartic just to be able to throw something and feel like i'm actually doing something because lifting weights is one two i want to die um but throwing something it's that release of just like how far can i throw it let me get friends over we'll do sand throwing we'll just chuck it as bad get in the pool off the swim try to get it out and maybe drown i don't know it's fun it's fun so it should be fun no you're actually right that's a sick idea i mean that workout that you're describing isn't like unfamiliar that's an incredible workout it's off-camper body movement that works muscles that you never do i mean bro this is pretty basic yeah you know when you're twisting and moving and throwing and durability yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah and and those workouts i actually think are becoming more and more prominent now like it's like is it called like hit training basically high intensity every time you see anyone training someone at the gym they're never training on on either resistance or free weights it's always that kind of stuff flip the tire jump do the box jump pick something up and twist and break your spine yeah crossfit i think yeah that type of [ __ ] brought that out i tried some crossfit you ever done crossfit um my knees don't really bend like that i had some injuries that kind of prevent me from moving certain ways dude my knees are [ __ ] up what are you doing with your knee i my knees ain't so good because i do that too much he's like this is actually going to injure me right it really hurts every time markiplier came from multiplier yeah but where did multiplier come from because i was going to make videos where i was every character so i was going to multiply myself i was going to do that too and i had a channel called the main to maine really yeah and i was going to play a bunch of different guys oh domain you could have bet you could add 33 million you know how people you know how people like like like markiplier you you got famous with this brand remarkable because i didn't know how to pronounce it for the longest time no one i thought was like mark i players yeah markiplier yeah that people think that's my name and i'm like i kind of roll with it what nationality is that man markiplier is that french do you want to expand beyond youtube because we talked about the longevity of this game and we're going to get into like the super longevity soon right you're a vet dude i'm a vet we've been doing this for some time but but forever i mean obviously not forever because i'll die someday not actually forever mark actually forever no no no i do not want i'm one of the people like i don't want to live forever no way in hell yeah not at all um but for me it's like i like youtube because it is the greatest place right now for me to do the type of content that i want to do i don't really want to make tick tocks i do sometimes i don't really want to do social media in general um i've made like some higher quality productions i know how to do that that is fun it's just really intensive to put two years into something that people only see after that and it really hinders you from just making the stupid fun videos um but honestly i don't know i i've dabbled in acting now um and i i've i feel like i've gotten better at acting so it's like that is an option but it's if you're acting you're acting in a project where it's not your vision and you have to do what someone else says and that doesn't fly with coming up do you have any projects coming out yeah there's one tv show that i was in um that i can't say anything about it but it's coming out it's called the edges me and you aren't working out today it's not working out man it's okay man that's okay i need a therapist no i know a good one i'll recognize this election yeah but um yeah it's just like for me i don't really know i don't have a five year plan i let my manager worry about that um for me i just like i want to do things that i really enjoy and still learn because i i won't live long enough to learn all the things that i want to learn i won't live long enough to know all the things i want to know or do all the things i want to do so i might as well just like pick what i like most at the moment and then go for it so when you have a baby with this girlfriend now or maybe if that happens family channel family no way you put a kid through that no shitty right yeah i don't like it yeah but uh it could be good it could be good is that what you would do if if you had a family let's say would you make content centered around that kid no yeah i wouldn't either no i don't think it's fair yeah i don't think it is either you're robbing them you know you know what you know what you know what i might do maybe until my kid gets like recognized make videos until he gets recognizable features i think it'd be funny to see me fathering a [ __ ] baby i can't imagine what that looks like right i think there's something so maybe for like a year maybe i own as honest my child you're gonna kill me the kid no no no no no no i'm not going back there no no no no no i'm just saying maybe there's i don't look i don't know it's all weird i'm i'm not dead i mean maybe you can make the baby a different character mm-hmm i see you just cover the face yeah you're saying and finally i mean i never thought it would be disguising a baby that we agreed on but yeah absolutely it's like what all the the minecraft youtubers are doing they're like a lot of them have masks on no faces you know that's like kind of like a trend that these days just like hiding your identity which is interesting are there creators that you're excited about right now oh man i like i said i watch unicycle videos so i don't know there's got to be a top unicyclist i don't know i haven't looked that deep i haven't gone far enough it was like the lance armstrong electric unicycles my favorite creator right now is a guy named doug doug i love he he does these twitch interactive streams and he edits down the vods for youtube and they're just very understanding that's it same name twice yeah he makes it so like twitch if twitch can fly a plane in gta for 30 seconds they win no prize and it's like it's just captivating i don't know what it is fantastic yeah that's science videos i guess so what else is there anything kurtz's song don't like that what dude i don't know i don't have time to watch can i tell you something yeah we've been looking at each other this whole time but only kind of uh-huh because there's a [ __ ] bar yeah i know one eye i'm just one eyeing him this whole time dude i got i got lasik recently when uh two weeks ago really recently yeah yeah and beautiful fantastic well it's not lasik so i got this thing called smile it's like a newer version of it uh got it one day and then the next day i can see perfume elaborate please just a little bit and i'll tell you why but what smile smile yeah how does it work is it so the doctor smiles real hard no it's just like what it is is it's a laser it's some femtosecond oscillator and it shoots you in the eye and then it cuts only below the top surface of your eye and it carves out a lens shape and then it cuts a four millimeter flap up at the top and the doctor yoinks it right out it sounds like lasik yeah pretty much but they don't do a flap okay could you smell your eye burning no not in this one it was much faster did you had you had lasik before no i was scared okay here's why i'm asking i got lasik horror story no okay no it's all good about seven years ago best surgery decision of my life i know it's like why didn't i do this sooner i'm an idiot i'm scared want the bad news i can't see [ __ ] now he's blind i i my vision kind of sucks from far away i i need to get it again did you see this i could see your middle finger that's good but should i get smile like how how often do i need it okay go back wait you got it seven years ago you said probably eight years ago yeah so you were like 20 20 yeah uh 19. yeah they and they told me i was gonna have to come back but like i'm here now and it does suck i have to be honest with you i would look into the smile but i don't know how it works with like a previous lasik yeah like how many times can you just be [ __ ] with your eye like that i don't know if if i go blind i will be upset i abstain from this it's his fault yeah it probably would be but i'll try i'll just [ __ ] trip you because i see you coming uh question how fast was the surgery you said it was quick oh the actual laser technique 10 minutes how long was yours probably probably 30 minutes did you have um sensitivity afterwards you had to like cover your eyes for a day or no you i got up from the table and they said you're good go home that is ridiculous and they were like go sleep when you get home can we can you look into that actually yeah i'm serious i wonder smile they're just like all right let's get this yeah i had to have them turn off subtitles yesterday because i couldn't read them and they were just distracted i'll just go get some glasses in i thought about that too yeah you'll probably look cool though yeah you look you look dude you look dignified with glasses yeah i kind of want to get glasses when i shave my head like mike um okay do you think he looks too intimidating for this podcast no you look like my buddy wade you're actually how tall are
