I have the sound. I 18 00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:50.159 just forgot which like button to go Excel Audio mixers, 19 00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:51.719 I forgot which one.

You know, 38 00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:54.200 if if I post something and it will reach one 39 00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:59.920 hundred views, and like this ship is do something. No, Yeah, 40 00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:02.040 it's a bad habit of mine. I've always I've always 41 00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:05.120 been that way. But you'd be surprised who's watching who's 42 00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:08.879 out there? I forgot the gentleman's name. He actually watched 43 00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:11.560 my clip with Tim. I forgot his name. He works 44 00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:13.960 for WW. He doesn't work for WW, but he worked 45 00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:16.520 with them. He's a I forgot his name. His name 46 00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:20.319 is Adrian Okay, forgot his name. But long story short, 47 00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:23.439 content creation and wrestling, especially in New York is very 48 00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:26.560 small at that time. It's a JLD. I seen he was, 49 00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:28.439 he was dope. He's you know, he's doing all the 50 00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:31.719 right things the content creators should do, staying consistent. You know, 51 00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:34.080 he's a fan of the product. There's difference between being 52 00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:36.919 a fan and just reading what the dirt heats tell 53 00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:39.080 you and then putting it on Twitter, which you know, Instagram, 54 00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:43.319 which is a whole different spiel. But yeah, again, JLD, 55 00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:45.840 welcome to the New World Podcast. You are the brand 56 00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:48.360 new member of the South Sidners. But I have a 57 00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:52.360 question for you. So what what? Uh? What's the word 58 00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:55.599 proper way to word this? You have such a passion 59 00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:58.800 for the product, for wrestling, not just ww but wrestling 60 00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:02.080 in general. What sparked that passion and what made you 61 00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:03.360 want to create content? 62 00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:07.199 So my dad is actually a big wrestling fan. That's 63 00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:09.479 how I got into it. I was twelve years old 64 00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:11.919 when I was like watching it full time. RUF was 65 00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:16.360 s Aggression era, John Cena, Batista, Triple HS, Sean Michaels, 66 00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:18.439 those of my heavy hitters, at the time when I 67 00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:21.800 first started watching, and obviously in between there's probably like 68 00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:24.159 a year or two breaks. You know, there's just you know, 69 00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:27.319 becoming a teenager doing other things and then becoming an adult. 70 00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:29.599 Like there were just some gaps in between, But just 71 00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:33.719 overall been a huge wrestling fan since, and honestly, it's 72 00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:35.840 just something I've just loved to watch week after week 73 00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:37.759 after weekend. It's something that also my dad and I 74 00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:40.240 would bond over a lot. We would always talk about it. 75 00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:42.400 Always watch it on Mondays, watch it on Fridays or 76 00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:46.159 Thursdays whenever SmackDown was on. But yeah, that's how I 77 00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:48.360 pretty much got into it. And then in terms of 78 00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:52.840 wrestling content, I actually started making wrestling content in twenty 79 00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:56.319 twenty one, but I started off doing just Twitch streams 80 00:03:56.360 --> 00:03:59.080 and just I wanted to be a Fortnite streamer. I 81 00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:01.759 wanted to be the call of guy. But you know, 82 00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:04.439 it's very diluted. There's a there's a lot of people 83 00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:07.039 trying to do the same thing. And after a year 84 00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:11.240 of doing that, I made one TikTok of me, you 85 00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:12.840 know the memes where it's like, oh, you got the 86 00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:16.160 job at WW Gotta match Randy yort next week, that's 87 00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:18.800 something like that. I made a video similar to that, 88 00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:21.959 but it was the Undertaker. I was like, I was 89 00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:23.959 at the office, They're like, congrats, you got the job. 90 00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:26.639 The scene turns into me. It's smacked down about to 91 00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:29.720 fight the Undertaker. Silly thing, but it went viral. It 92 00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:32.319 was my first ever wrestling video went viral. Make a 93 00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:34.920 Royal Rumble video right after that Royal Rumble season goes 94 00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:37.639 viral again. I'm like, I gotta do this. That's just 95 00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:41.879 the rest is history, and four years later, here we are. 96 00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:46.800 You send me a video because I got you. 97 00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:47.240 I got you. 98 00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:51.439 That's fine, bro, Like I was saying, all it takes. 99 00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:54.759 Is it just takes one. You can have all the hitting. 100 00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:56.839 The silliest right. It could be the silliest things, bro, 101 00:04:56.920 --> 00:04:59.879 it could be the dumbest thing. How many views did 102 00:04:59.879 --> 00:05:02.759 that video get? That first video you posted or take ballpark. 103 00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:05.680 Around in the beginning, like twenty thousand, and to me 104 00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:08.319 that was a lot because usually I was like in 105 00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:11.720 the four or five hundred view or most of the time, 106 00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:13.639 it'll be rare if I got a thousand, So they 107 00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:16.879 get twenty thousand, I was like, whoa, Like I'm onto something, 108 00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:20.720 and then the next one was a Royal Rumble video 109 00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:23.160 where you got the job, but you're number one in 110 00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:25.439 the rumble. Number two ended up being brock Lessner. So 111 00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:29.160 like I put the music of Lester and everything, you 112 00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:31.360 could see it in my pin tiktoks. It's like, I think, 113 00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:33.639 at one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand, some shit. 114 00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:38.879 Fure so, so who would film these things for you? 115 00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:40.959 Or how did you, you know, get this process going? 116 00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:44.240 Because I think some people want to be content creators 117 00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:45.879 and they want to do it, but they're just not 118 00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:49.439 sure if they can do it or how to do it, 119 00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:51.879 or if they need a team or what's your process. 120 00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:56.240 I do everything myself. My fiance does help out a 121 00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:58.720 lot with filming sometimes if like I need her help 122 00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:01.879 with like her iPhone or whatever, but usually a lot 123 00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:04.360 of times it is with just me myself and I 124 00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:07.199 have my tripod behind me. I use played around with 125 00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:10.199 that for a while when I was doing my early tiktoks. 126 00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:12.040 I have a green screen that I would use and 127 00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:14.839 I would actually edit on my actual computer. But I've 128 00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:17.800 tried to move more towards like TikTok specifically on my 129 00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:20.639 phone because it's just so much time, like having an 130 00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:22.720 edit on the computer, then move it to a phone, 131 00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:25.439 then post it from there. While TikTok and cap Cua 132 00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:27.120 have their own editors, so it just makes it a 133 00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:30.839 little easier in terms of time. But you don't need 134 00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:33.120 a team. You just need a phone and just need 135 00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:35.439 to start. There's no formula of like, oh you need 136 00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:38.959 to like stand in this corner or do this screen screen, 137 00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:41.439 just pick up. There's so many content careers out there 138 00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:43.800 that are so talented that all they're doing is just 139 00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:47.279 like the green screen filter, or like just talking in 140 00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:49.360 front of their phone talking about what's going on, or 141 00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:52.199 make a funny skip. That's all you need. It's all 142 00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:54.519 about the character. You could have all the nice tech, 143 00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:57.879 but the character got to be there and the passion 144 00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:00.480 for it. You can't be a wrestling creator. But like 145 00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:02.759 kind of like how you mentioned just trying to read 146 00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:05.439 the current news and just post a body, you gotta 147 00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:06.240 be invested in it. 148 00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:12.399 Yeah, that's true. Now you do. And like like you 149 00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:15.160 were saying, Day was saying, like there was a lot 150 00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:19.439 of people afraid to pick that camera because you know, 151 00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:22.360 there's usually that stigma that like, oh it looks corny 152 00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:26.199 that you're recording yourself. But it's like, bro, there's motherfuckers making 153 00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:30.399 really bro Like I'm trying to get billions of dollars too. 154 00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:34.279 They say that, but then they watching people on Kick 155 00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:36.920 and Twitch like I Show Speed and Logan Paul walking 156 00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:40.560 around all parts of the world doing the same thing. 157 00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:43.519 But so like I, I mean, I'm not gonna lie. 158 00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:45.160 I had to kind of conquer that fear a little 159 00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:47.959 bit myself being comfortable like going to Comic Con or 160 00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:51.319 going a fanatics fest, holding my own recording and all that. 161 00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:54.439 But so have to realize people don't care and do 162 00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:57.199 and then when they realize what you're doing is working, 163 00:07:57.240 --> 00:07:59.279 they're gonna be like, oh, I'm trying to be like 164 00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:01.959 Dale Day. I'm trying to be like Dave. I'm trying 165 00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:04.959 to like you know, they'll see the confidence in what 166 00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:06.959 you do and they're gonna want to mimic, even if 167 00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:09.399 it seems silly or corny, like you holding the phone 168 00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:12.720 or selfie stick or whatever. Like when they see the 169 00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:14.319 money coming in, they're gonna be like, all right, I'll 170 00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:14.600 do it. 171 00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:18.399 And it's funny because I actually did and excess this year. 172 00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:20.439 It was my first year doing it. I don't even 173 00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:21.800 think I was gonna get it. I just checked my 174 00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:25.560 email that was dope shoot and I had to you know, 175 00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:26.959 get my ducks in order. I had to get my 176 00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:30.879 camera to order new three. So funny story about fanatic stress. 177 00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:33.279 So I went. I had all three days. I didn't 178 00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:36.039 go the third day because I was like, nobody, who's it? 179 00:08:36.039 --> 00:08:36.879 One day? Yeah? 180 00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:39.879 Yeah, and then it's like nothing really changes. I thought 181 00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:42.120 everything changed like the day like second day or whatever. 182 00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:44.240 It's just the people that changed. So the first day 183 00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:46.559 I get there, I have my setup Dave knows, I 184 00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:49.440 have my little hand, then have my phone, then I 185 00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:51.759 put my DJ on my little light, and then I 186 00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:54.240 have the little microphone like I have a nice little 187 00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:56.200 broke man set up, shout out to DJ I with 188 00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:00.720 the with Action three, and then talking to the boy 189 00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:04.240 that I met down there, my boy g from Brad Rustling, 190 00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:06.559 who we just totally met on a win bro like 191 00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:09.080 if I always say, I always say to him like, yo, bro, 192 00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:11.200 it was God brought you to meet me that day. 193 00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:14.000 Because I was out there like yo, what do I do? 194 00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:16.200 Like where do I start? And then he was like, yo, 195 00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:19.440 I'm not not filming with nobody today you're not filming today, 196 00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:21.320 he was, Yo, let's just ride with each other. So 197 00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:24.600 boom we booked that connection. I ended up losing my 198 00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:28.399 DJI that day, and I was pissed bro losing ship. 199 00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:30.960 I don't like losing anything, So I lost that boom. 200 00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:32.799 That was the first day. Second day I go back, 201 00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:35.080 I'm like, yo, I'm gonna spend the majority of my 202 00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:37.399 time at the w w E part of Fanatics Fast. 203 00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:41.039 My fucking book ends up breaking. 204 00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:42.080 Wow. 205 00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:45.879 I went to the Travis Scotts stand and I got 206 00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:48.840 like a so I'm carrying around my book. It was 207 00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:52.120 just like Murphy's Walk kicking that day, like that weekend, 208 00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:54.240 because like anything that could have went ring. The only 209 00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:57.440 thing that was perfect was that I found parking, Like, besides. 210 00:09:57.080 --> 00:10:02.679 That brow the other day, that's an accomplishment for. 211 00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:06.320 Sure. I was not trying to do. I did one 212 00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:08.360 loop around that was like, not no parking, I'm paying 213 00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:11.000 for it. Yeah, that hurt my heart. But that express 214 00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:12.600 was a dope ass experience because it was only the 215 00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:14.480 second one, and I can't wait for the next one 216 00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:16.039 because next one I want to bring my boys with me. 217 00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:18.919 Feel I feel like David O d Love. And then 218 00:10:19.080 --> 00:10:21.679 the Boys, Dennison and Money. 219 00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:23.120 Were you there, jail d. 220 00:10:23.639 --> 00:10:26.000 This was my second time going this year. Yeah, I 221 00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:28.840 went to the first one last year, but I only 222 00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:31.840 did Sunday because just scheduling just didn't work to go 223 00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:34.519 the other days. And I wish I would have gone 224 00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:38.120 probably Saturday the first time, because Sunday is usually shorter anyway. 225 00:10:38.200 --> 00:10:41.360 But the main reason I went Sunday also, not just 226 00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:43.679 was because the scheduling, was because Rio Ripley was there, 227 00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:46.720 so I agree with her. So you already know is 228 00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:49.159 always on top. Mommy's always on top. 229 00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:50.639 I'm not missing this. 230 00:10:51.080 --> 00:10:53.759 But it was a fun time. I was very surprised 231 00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:57.600 with fanatics. I was very surprised that Fanatics did their 232 00:10:57.679 --> 00:10:59.559 thing the first time, so I was like, let's go 233 00:10:59.559 --> 00:11:01.559 the second time. And it was a good time. 234 00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:03.879 I didn't know it was going to be that much 235 00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:07.039 like hard sellers. I thought it was going to be 236 00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:12.720 more meet and greets, more like open forums discussions. It was, 237 00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:15.039 you know, like one thing that they I've noticed about 238 00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:18.480 that fanatics fast. They kind of take people from different 239 00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:20.559 worlds and then they bring them together, like they had 240 00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:24.919 Jacob i To and Tiffany Stratton working with a magician 241 00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:27.759 he's like a stage magician like that for like for 242 00:11:27.879 --> 00:11:30.240 like mental health, and I'm like, this is a lot. 243 00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:33.440 It's a lot going on right now. Yeah. Yeah, it's 244 00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:35.480 and and you know it's it was a dope experience. 245 00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:39.120 It was definitely dope. You see Logan Paul, somebody actually 246 00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:41.559 trashed his expensive mass Pokemon card. But I don't know 247 00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:42.480 why he would bring. 248 00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:45.559 I saw the news on that, like somebody Ryan and 249 00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:49.480 Jozach and stupid and pushed it. That's crazy. 250 00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:51.360 And the cards, like I think, if I'm not mistaken, 251 00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:53.200 don't judge me. But it's definitely more than a million 252 00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:54.159 dollar card, like. 253 00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:55.200 For sure it is. 254 00:11:55.720 --> 00:11:59.759 That is it's been praised its stringer card. 255 00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:03.200 Yeo, so so Gabe recently actually speaking of cards, just 256 00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:07.279 got into cards a lot, JAYU You into cards? 257 00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:10.480 I'm not too much into like are you referring to 258 00:12:10.679 --> 00:12:15.000 WW like tops chrome or you just general anything cards? 259 00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:16.480 Because I feel like, you know, that shit was a 260 00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:19.559 big deal. I don't know how old are you. I'm 261 00:12:19.559 --> 00:12:22.120 thirty two, okay, so we're all the same age. But 262 00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:23.720 like growing up, it was like yo, if you had 263 00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:27.200 that baseball rookie card or whatever, you know, like Babe, 264 00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:29.759 roots whatever, right, that would be insane. And I think 265 00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:33.840 from like twenty and so on, no one really gave 266 00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:36.200 a fuck about cards. But now it's like really back 267 00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:38.240 heavy makes a. 268 00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:41.399 Bunch of adults that finally have adult money that loved 269 00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:44.399 cards as a kid. So to answer your question, I 270 00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:47.320 was a big Yu gi Oh card fan. I still 271 00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:49.799 have my cards to this day. They are right above me. 272 00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:52.840 They are in binders, they are in box I refuse 273 00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:55.600 to give them up. Pokemon cards, I have them too, 274 00:12:55.679 --> 00:12:58.039 I still have them, but I wasn't as big into 275 00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:00.519 them like that. Now, if I wouldn't know own that 276 00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:03.360 base set packs would have been what they are today, 277 00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:06.399 I would not have opened them as a child. But 278 00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:10.320 it's just insane, like exactly. 279 00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:14.919 But the thing about Pokemon, Pikachu, Pokemon will never die 280 00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:19.320 because Pikachu, you could be a racist. Pikachu can't be sexist. 281 00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:23.279 Pikachu can't say the N word. Pikachu can't get canceled. 282 00:13:23.320 --> 00:13:25.240 That's why Pokemon is forever. 283 00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:27.840 Says one word Pikachu. 284 00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:32.399 Right, he's like broke, He's just that's what it is like. 285 00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:35.519 Like even if Ash says some well ship they were 286 00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:37.679 just like, we'll take Ash out like if you could. 287 00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:39.960 Just Pikachu's Yeah. 288 00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:44.200 Yeah, it took it took Ash like eighteen years to 289 00:13:44.200 --> 00:13:46.200 win the World Championship, Like I seen it on Twitter 290 00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:50.240 the other day, but bro, it literally showed every time 291 00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:52.879 that Ash entered the championship in what place he ranked? 292 00:13:53.120 --> 00:13:56.600 Bro dead asked his last championship he finally won and 293 00:13:56.679 --> 00:13:58.320 the battle I was looking at the battle of you. 294 00:13:58.320 --> 00:13:59.919 I got to see the battle because who the fuck 295 00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:02.240 is gonna be? Like what was ol feeding? Bro? It 296 00:14:02.279 --> 00:14:04.200 was Pikachu versus chars on. 297 00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:07.720 I was like, no, that's a full circle moment though. 298 00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:08.840 Yeah it is. 299 00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:10.799 I was like, bro, what what do you mean Pikachu's 300 00:14:10.799 --> 00:14:16.039 about it? What chars are? Like this? Like never what? Now? 301 00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:18.480 He could he could? You know, Pikachu see the thing 302 00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:22.639 about Pikachu? He did, So I feel like Pokemon and 303 00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:24.600 like dragon ball z are like one in one is 304 00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:27.519 like you see how like when Pikachu, Pikachu could hit 305 00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:29.519 you with the thunderbowl, but then like you know, when 306 00:14:29.559 --> 00:14:31.240 it's not working, and then I just gotta give him 307 00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:34.039 that little that talk and then he like haulks up 308 00:14:34.080 --> 00:14:35.240 like Pikachu halks up. 309 00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:38.759 And then he's a motivational coach that's what I'm saying. 310 00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:41.120 But Jay, I was looking at your Instagram before we 311 00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:45.960 got on the thing to get with the pokemon. So 312 00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:48.200 you did. You did one hundred thousand views in a month, 313 00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:51.120 which is that's no easy feat at all. I don't 314 00:14:51.120 --> 00:14:54.519 care who you are. How did you do it? Or 315 00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:57.440 maybe why and how? I don't know which way you 316 00:14:57.440 --> 00:14:59.279 want to answer that question, but like, what made you like, yo, 317 00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:00.759 I need to get? Is that a number that you 318 00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:02.799 were looking for? I need the hundred thousand? 319 00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:07.720 Are you in terms of just like Instagram stats or like, yeah, yeah, yeah, 320 00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:12.000 Instagram stats? So that was so I basically made an 321 00:15:12.039 --> 00:15:15.639 experiment over the past like thirty days. It's been past 322 00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:18.600 those thirty days, but like I made an experiment to 323 00:15:19.240 --> 00:15:22.679 post one to three times a day for thirty days 324 00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:27.200 straight as somebody who wasn't consistent with my videos, just 325 00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:29.159 to see what the behavior of my account would be 326 00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:33.639 if I just went non stop posting, And it made 327 00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:35.960 several of those videos that you see on my Instagram 328 00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:38.440 go viral. Several of them include the one where I 329 00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:42.120 talk about VPN with the ESPN announcement. One of them 330 00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:45.399 was I went to the House of Glory SummerSlam weekend, 331 00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:47.879 and I happened to get a clip of Zilifa to 332 00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:52.159 getting defeated by Bully Ray for his title that somehow 333 00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:55.320 went far. And then just a bunch of other videos 334 00:15:55.360 --> 00:15:59.000 talking about just wrestling general stuff. Some of them blop, 335 00:15:59.080 --> 00:16:01.200 but some of them went very far, and some of 336 00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:03.600 them are videos that I don't even think I put 337 00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:05.759 as much effort into. It kind of goes back to 338 00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:07.919 what you said, It's like the silliest things get the 339 00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:10.440 most views, and then the ones I work the most 340 00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:13.279 hardest on are the ones that are just like get 341 00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:18.399 regular generic views. So that's pretty much it. I feel 342 00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:21.440 like I didn't really have like a method to do it. 343 00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:24.720 It was more just like try to report on everything 344 00:16:24.840 --> 00:16:28.840 and see what sticks and how I do it. One 345 00:16:28.879 --> 00:16:30.759 of the things that I've decided to be more consistent 346 00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:33.519 on is where I film my videos, which I don't 347 00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:35.600 know if you see like my most like ten most 348 00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:38.519 recent videos all in the same spot. I feel like 349 00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:40.919 that could also help out with just like the consistency 350 00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:43.759 of people saying, Okay, jail these here, like let's watch 351 00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:46.399 what you got to say, versus like one video I'll 352 00:16:46.440 --> 00:16:48.840 be standing by my ring light and then one video 353 00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:50.799 I'm in the living room and then what I'm laying 354 00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:53.120 down in the bedroom. Like I feel like that randomizes 355 00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:57.600 things and it doesn't catch attention because people remember familiarity. 356 00:16:57.799 --> 00:17:00.399 If I'm saying that correct words a hard sometimes they 357 00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:04.119 remember based on where I'm standing. You know, Keith Lee, 358 00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:07.680 He's always in his car and stuff like that. That's 359 00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:09.079 what kind of go based off. 360 00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:11.640 Of, especially like a catchphrases. I noticed like a couple 361 00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:14.400 of cat content creators that usually some of them could 362 00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:17.160 catch phrases or like they'll they'll start their video a 363 00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:19.720 certain way, like every video starts a certain way. But that's, 364 00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:22.759 like I said, one hundred thousand, that's that's a pretty 365 00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:25.000 big number. That's that's a good number to start. Like 366 00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:27.359 even like, you know, back to the talk that we 367 00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:31.720 were having about me looking at videos and their views 368 00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:34.880 and being impressed, like I think right now for this month, 369 00:17:35.119 --> 00:17:37.480 because Instagram gives you those summaries of like how many 370 00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:40.759 followers you yeah, yeah, my thing and up from at 371 00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:43.720 the beginning of I want to say, July had like 372 00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:48.839 thirty thousand of you. And what motivated me was, you know, 373 00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:51.559 I was I'm trying to get my foot into these events, 374 00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:55.480 these wrestling events all over the world, but preferably the 375 00:17:55.519 --> 00:17:59.119 ones in New York. Man, Bro, I'm I'm writing people. 376 00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:02.440 I'm like email people, I'm like texting people like, yo, bro, like, 377 00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:04.400 what's up? I work media? Can I work? You know? 378 00:18:04.920 --> 00:18:07.880 I do this, I do that podcast. I can make content. 379 00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:11.759 And people with dead ass like we were just responding, 380 00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:15.480 leaving me on rand and fit like lit a fire 381 00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:19.799 under mind. Then that whole month of July and August, 382 00:18:20.319 --> 00:18:22.319 I'm just like, yo, fuck it, bring back the podcast. 383 00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:23.880 We're gonna do this shit. We're gonna kick it up 384 00:18:23.880 --> 00:18:26.279 a notch. We're gonna do watch parties, We're gonna we're 385 00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:27.720 gonna do merch like I want to do it all. 386 00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:28.880 Like I said, I just want to do it all. 387 00:18:28.920 --> 00:18:30.759 I want. I want to take the World Podcast to 388 00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:33.599 brand new heights. I need people in Australia to see 389 00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:36.160 this when we go over there. It's love wherever we go. 390 00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:39.000 I need it that way. But that's that's what pretty 391 00:18:39.039 --> 00:18:41.640 much motivated me. You know, those those numbers, they they 392 00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:44.160 could all be worked and fixed, so but I just 393 00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:45.680 you know, I'm trying to get the name out there, 394 00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:47.119 and how do we get the name out there by 395 00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:50.359 interviewing more people like yourself, more content creators, people that 396 00:18:50.440 --> 00:18:52.599 love wrestling, because, like we were saying before we went live, 397 00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:56.960 the wrestling community, it's such a niche community. It's a 398 00:18:57.519 --> 00:18:59.559 small community. Like there was a point in time, like 399 00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:00.960 back in the day when I was in high school, 400 00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:02.519 Like you couldn't really tell people you watch wrestling. 401 00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:06.240
