Hello everybody welcome to explicit material a podcast where a nerdy drummer talks to his friends old and new and That is a different introduction than my introductions before because I haven't I haven't had a podcast like to enough months because of personal reasons I don't want to get into here personal reasons And today my guest is final harps a twitch streamer who streams apex legend legends currently And he also has a show called the final hour which I was invited on a couple months ago And I thought it would only be appropriate to invite him back on to my show and Start off explicit material yet again with final harps. Here he is welcome sir. How are you? I am okay kind sir I started out a little later than usual because I had to do Advancing That's gonna be the word of the day by the word of the day already I like it But me myself I'm fine harps.
I am either hyper crazy or I'm just like zos own the time When I'm streaming it's there's no you get me there is no in between there's just either extreme this or extreme that but I love it I do have done oc cosplay content with my wife on sick talk and I also do I just do a lot of apex now And I just I have a lot of fun I've grown a show called the final hour and why's room was not the show is pretty epic if you missed it I don't know if I posted that on YouTube. I think that's when I started like falling off wasn't your fault It was just a have you ever had mental problems or mental breakdowns? I mean, I think it's just a normal adulting type thing when you turn into a doubt you have mental breakdowns sometimes I think it's when you know with the creative people if you got a creative mind It just it races and when you know when you have to be responsible adult It forces you to slow that mind down and I think that's where am I getting somewhere? No, you're perfect.
I'll be at work and I think I want to make this video I get home. I saw my son and I just realized our search fucking mashing We did not coordinate It was my last clean shirt, dude Wow, look at my laundry like fuck I got to wind it like a laser Oh my god, yeah, we're both wearing a legend of Zelda shirts for those who are listening to this on the audio only Yeah, where's the original though? There's no G But yeah, that one though. How'd you like that one?
Okay, so I have a I have a complicated relationship with Zelda and here and here it is I Have a legend is held attached to on my back not because I played the game and loved it because I did like the game Don't get me wrong But I remember as a kid as a young young I can't remember how there was I was like six or something I was very young and I just had a Nintendo and I didn't it wasn't even my game It was a game that was at a friend's house or a house that I was staying at being babysat and I put the game in because it was golden shiny and I've ever seen anything like that Oh, and I'm shiny so shiny and so I put it in and the intro music that first title screen And as a kid that affected me like everything that it was sort of like I knew exactly what I wanted to be When I grow up I love the music the music is what got me the music was like it made you feel like you were you were a hero You're about to go on this adventure and I took that You know, I only played a little bit of the game at the time so so little and I died all the time because I did not play the game So I would take that sort of feeling of adventure And I would you know go and do be a kid out in the world somewhere But that me that song that that original song just like that was one of the only moments that I can remember that I was like Yeah, this is this whole video game thing. This is for me Yes, like music to and music to like it was it were all clicked and so that's why I have a legend It's all the tattoo in my back. I'm terrible. It's all that I'm gonna be very honest But like that that fucking game moved me so much epic, you know I was I was terrible at it But that you know you don't have to beat a game in my humble opinion in order for it to affect you as it affected me No, I I have to agree with that when there's a there's some games for like you play for a little bit And you're just like I don't like this game But it's still affected you because you're like I didn't like this game And this is why now I have a different taste for games.
Mm. Yeah, and it was like that feeling of adventure I still hold to this day. I you know I have very little time to like play games and so the games that I do play I'm selective at and I play you know Mostly rpgs adventure games because I want to experience adventure, you know Like I never was about skill I was never about like I want to beat the game to beat the game and get that sort of that feeling of accomplishment It was always I want to go on this adventure. I want to feel it better No, even like that legend is all that didn't really have much of a story in a sense Just you're going here.
You're trying to save some something you find triforce is and then there's a princess Yeah, but you filled in the story yourself really in the booklet The booklet had a story to like the book let you know like hey, this is the story now go live it This polygonal world cheese that one and then you beat it once you go and do it on a different Those the different setting where the levels are different areas are different and yet the refined everything now I was just wrong Zelda. Did you play the second Zelda? I did I did play the second Zelda and harder than the first game because again It was it was a totally different game. It was a totally different game than the rest.
It was a side scroller No, we're saying like what was so odd is I'm surprised they never really tried to go back to that form at least for just like a smaller I came on the switch or something, you know, like I guess they I guess they kind of did it with that Um, what was that one that came out for the visit the 3ds? I forget where the the stages move like this I can't remember or he's against the wall. I can't remember I didn't play it I don't know but I'm surprised they never went like the side score scroller route Yeah, again after that because I guess it was controversial at the time But then they made super Nintendo and link to the past one the best of all the back game I did beat now that game I did that was one of my first games on super Nintendo and Mega Man X Mega Man X and Zelda were my first two super Nintendo games and I will never forget the time I put both of those games in my Nintendo man. God.
I got stuck in my head the theme song. I just recommend X. It's so good. It's so good It's just the just how they introduced the world was just genius because they didn't give you like a you know I guess back in the day didn't really give you tutorials.
They kind of just threw you in. Um, what's a save button? Passwords that were this long and had like exclamation points and lowercase letters and eyes look like L's and Like Metroid putting in a password. Oh My god, you just get lost typing it like what was that?
I'm so good at analyzing and figuring out little errors because all these damn password Yeah, dude, these kids don't know And then if you broke down your password you lost it you lost your progress if you were able to even do that It seems after you die like after three continues you're dead. Yeah, you're dead done And what was great was what I was saying about Mega Man X opening stage was that they gradually showed you how How the game is played like when that first stage and you know, you first see that B Hornet that comes down and you pass the boss and it's like no, that's not the boss That's just some enemy that you just be go on sir go on and that's where you learn how to wall jump I remember this specifically where you can grapple on the walls and I was like holy shit Yeah, because you killed him. I remember correctly you kill the beat of the classes down Yes, like a bridge and he's climb up and you had no choice but to figure that out because you couldn't go anywhere other than that They didn't tell you they didn't tell you hey They were just like figured out kid and you figured out believe this area you walk towards a wall hold the arrow key towards it And press the jump button you can press it repeatedly to game momentum upwards. No, they don't do that now I mean they didn't do that back then.
Yeah, it's like a tutorial for like every single button Now which I'm fine with now because I'm older and like I don't have a bunch of time in the world to learn your damn game So just give it to me all the front just like let me know how to play this game and so I can move on in my life I'm trying to think of a game that didn't have a tutorial but desperately needed it Look that's different. That's a game where like you go in you're gonna be hacking in slash eight You need to know the stats or go to dodging Shit, I haven't played it, but I've seen people play on this like this is so slow and clunky. I like fast-paced People love them themselves some dark souls, man I'm not a I know I'm not a dark souls fan per se because you know like difficulty in my humble opinion I just I'm not all about it. I'm just kind of like you know difficulty beating a difficult boss.
That's not why I play games Makes sense makes sense. I play games for the adventure Adventure the adventure so wait, so you say you're streaming apex. Are you streaming? Just exclusively apex pretty much like we had this conversation when I was pretty much I mean unless like an good adventure game comes out like Falfa set remake part two, then yeah, I might stream that I don't know but at the same point It just depends on how I feel at the moment like it's really weird like I play apex and stream that mostly because I get a volume All of you were kind of say is the same so it's like okay, well, I'll keep doing this but I do want to incorporate other things But I don't know where I'm going on is a venture anywhere.
I really don't look like I legit took a break from almost everything and Yeah, man That's an understatement. So I took a break now. I'm getting back on track I mean it's got you for myself. I'm gonna start Tuesday and just stick to it Well, I'm still in the starting attack only today, but it's gonna be just a editing instead of playing games all evening I'm gonna just edit edit and edit because I have like thousands of hours.
I could just edit Much it like so are you streaming apex because you want to stream apex or is it? Yeah, are you like caught up in this sort of you made a apex community kind of thing and I want to make an apex community I just haven't really like stepped in that off or all four to net section yet because like my original community was like a lot of Because players and it turns into or I'm more gaming I was more gaming But my wife's those sees those I can kind of combine them in sense But I'm trying to be slowly apex because that's where most my content is so it's like fuck it I'm gonna do this and I play I slowly play apex because English is hard No, not for real, but I start playing it because those a bit of this amount of days and it got better I mean, you know what I'm barely enjoying this so not fast-paced first person shooters and it's a ranked system most first person shooter It's don't have a ranked system. So since this one of the ranked system and I'm very competitive It's something that I can learn and consistently get better at and better and see my progression go up I'm not familiar with the first person shooters. What is a ranked system like I have a general idea You know how like you play competitively and let's say you're you know, I don't know what's the way to put this But you know um when you play a baseball sports Right sports teams when they go up against another team and they win they get points that they for towards like the playoffs I see in the playoffs.
Okay, so like the ranked system's like kind of like that So you got to play all ranked and the higher place where you get in that match and more kills Oh wait, does it do they love this? There's something not well not recently, but back in the day didn't they have ranked systems? I feel you would like level up and you would get I don't know so are you so when you say ranked you level up essentially to get to a Certain spot is that what you're yeah, so essentially you start out at bronze And you can go to silver gold platinum diamond and masters and then predators the tops the people with the most points of the top 150 people in the world and on that platform so essentially right now I'm diving which is one step away from master slash prep which is Right next to the the best and I'm trying to get there, but when I was on console and playing casually else up at Platinum for now. I'm like one hole to your higher.
The ironic thing is I'm very competitive I've done Street Fighter 5 competitively Marvel competitively and I would just get stuck or I just couldn't figure out stuff Like it was just too much information So just imagine Street Fighter 5 a new character come out you got to use your character learn literally every frame How far that move goes out what combos work or don't work on that person for the range and just every little thing about that white and learning Your opponent all at once while comparing to I'm like I want to do this. I can't that's a lot And it's essentially like dude like when that whole argument like whether video games are a sport or not It's like you just explained like there's so much strategy and thought and there is physical movement even though It's with your hands and you know, but there is physical movements not you know, you're not throwing a ball or anything But like you know like is it I mean that sounds like a sport to me Yeah, if curling if curling is an Olympic sport then video games can be a sport arguments, right So what tells me if I was so hard I didn't give up on it I did give up on playing Street Fighter 5 because like it just I just sat throughout it not grown up It's just a weird thing and we were right at the same point like I wanted to find something so I played apex I'm like, okay, I start doing rank. I'm like, you know what I can do just completely I can actually get up there I can actually learn I can get there and like being 36 years old and still getting the diamond and keeping up with like people who are 19 kind of funny at times, you know, I'm not freaking masters You have to point being like I'm seeing something I can actually do this I know I can and that's the main reason why I stay with apex because it consistently drives my competitive side It makes you better and what do I what do I do different in this situation? Then why did I lose in this situation?
What could have done different? What should I do? It was what is but played and that's what things I think about and what like the only thing that's like this like the one wall I cannot break right now that I want to break and like competitiveness is finding people who can tolerate being caught on their bullshit It's like good luck I've gone through so many people were like I'm pointing out What happened and then they leave and then they don't ever come back But then I also point out like okay I'll give you a little rundown beginning of this reset or every 45 days There's a rank reset so you go from so I'll go from tomorrow or Tuesday I'll go from diamond four down to platinum for them at the minus two more level So I'll be gold to the rear climb back up. So I'm not where I was at I had to re-ear it Yeah, there was one guy who was dropping down.
You just want to do every fight He got the diamond quickly, but he got hard stuff diamond being hard stuff means You just are not getting any points and you don't get the motive because once you're at that tier You don't get the motive so once you hit masters you don't get the motive But you have to grind grind the points get the predator so oh yeah So he's hard stuck diamond for a while I was thinking you're going yeah cuz your Russian strategy does not work once you reach the actual Higher difficulty lobbies. Oh So that caused a stir No, he was in my stream and we were playing with him consistently me and my buddy of my second we're bitching Like man like you push this he does these things like this and you shouldn't be pushing that fight We had a position we were holding the position But he wanted to push a fight when we didn't need to push the fight and we gave up we gave up position end up being Flight we wouldn't have gotten playing to see where we're at Wow and he was into my stream checking that out I'm like oh shit. I thought it for okay. Oh, well, okay Oh, it's just different place I was like but dude like honestly it is but then at the same point when you reach diamond It's not like that you can't do that because like everyone at diamond We'll see you and just shoot you wherever they see from so when you're playing is this is this team?
So you're is this like are you with a group? You're with a group of three. So yeah, I mean like at the I again I really haven't played the game. So I'm just gonna say this in general Generalities but you gotta have the same sort of philosophy if I'm correct on this you'll be on the same page You gotta be like you know, you're in this area I'm in this area you cover me here and then you know when this happens, you know, there's a Can't stretch oh yeah, and not being on the same page is like that's rule.
It will never one be on the same page True that's true that but there's some people like I run across it has a different place to help but then Understands like oh this guy plays like this I'm gonna stay by him so because like I know where he's position and he's not moving from that position But he's watching this section. He's good at it. So I'm going to Do something where he will actually work out. Well, there's a lot of times I try to drop solids learn new places I'm meeting new people and some people are cool.
Some people are just downright idiots and then other people just will start calling you like bad Names out of nowhere and it's like Dude, okay. So a picture is a battery I like Fortnite I was playing rampart because this guy picked Valkyrie me and this person were in a building because of the squad in front of us I'm building there was a squad to our left in a building at this time for some reason our velpry went outside And was on top of the building to the left while he was there two guys were running there I sniped them did a hundred and ten to one mind you get 225 max health if you have a shield and you have to level up the shield but these guys have blue so they only had 175 so the guy had 90 health left right the other one or less than that something something I don't so the other one same thing and they were running in to get healed I said their damage get them and I couldn't get another shot of them because they went into cover behind that This guy didn't do anything to them ended up going on the outside King shot by the squad that was directly in front of us on the top of the building and the one directly to the left Shoo I watched all the frickin bullets hit him he drops and I was just like oh, yeah I'm not gonna be able to get you and then they've all finished him off Which means now you have to grab his banner to respawn him instead of picking him off when he just got knocked fascinating He's after the man I started trying to kill like get like closer But we got swamped by two squads one came in and then the other one came right behind him But on the floor so we got pinch between two squads and got destroyed really quickly it happens a lot He starts calling me like a whole bunch of names and shit like you lose it like dude you were not an opening guy yourself I watched it happen. I was going there to give you some cover fire But I there was too swatching at you what man what you're just a damaged farmer person Reminding me so much of the time that me and my buddies would are playing let's one halo 2 first came out And we were this is we played that was when it was first online for consoles halo 2 on the Xbox Yeah Xbox 2 was Xbox Xbox 360 I can't remember but we would have we would have yeah We would land because we all lived in the same house together. We were in a band and so we set up land Parties between all the consoles and we play online But it was so cool because like we didn't need headsets because we can talk to each other through the rooms and man We would just like we have strategies going we would just and but it was so fun like just thinking back to those days And it's awesome that you're currently doing right now online But like I can't play first-person shooters now because I'm just terrible at them But like back in the day, man, we would halo 2 was like Like the we would take it so seriously we would take it like right after work We'd all have you know day jobs, whatever we come right after work sit down and be like alright.
Let's go. Let's freaking move it Let's go, you know, you know, I never really did the land party thing But I did always have a buddy over I went to a buddy's house plates virtual fighter street fighter like Mar was Capcom and Do we would we would bring our own we would bring our own TVs to our friends house to play halo to do a land party a TV Xbox at one point We had like I think it was like 16 people in a room with all their different TVs It was the max that you could do like because I think each Xbox could hold I can't remember how many people could actually be in the in the Battle Royale if you will I think it was either eight was either eight or 16 I can't remember but dude just a bunch of Dr. Pepper and pizza and just Dr. Pepper is the way to go, but yeah, that's that those are the good old days before you could do that now It's just like you got this word Really what it is like hey, let's hang out.
Okay, this or yeah, not before it was like okay phone call. Okay, did they answer? Yeah, yeah, yeah, please Dude, he's coming over damn. He ditched me You remember yeah, do you remember land lines?
Oh, yeah, yeah, that was like your that was like a level of freedom that you needed as a kid Like your own landline in your room like that was that was teenager goals back in the day. Oh my god Yeah, it was but yeah, that's a that's a long time ago I was trying to feel old but I'm not old the fuck No, we're in them. We're like mid-old. You know we're only generation of last generation is gonna understand that there was no Internet we had to make fun for ourselves that there was dial up and all these other technological advances and now we're Look, we're at I know all right.
That's the point where it's like, oh, man. I could just do everything on my computer I don't have to go anywhere. I don't have to leave the house And now you know people are just working from home You know Contemplating thinking about trying to find a job to work for most like edit videos while working. Yeah, dude I got my other job my job for 13 years I mastered that job so much I'd get my work done within like, you know within an hour whatever and I would just edit videos for Yeah, and That was nice.
It was nice. It was it was actually really nice. Can you still do that with the new one? No I can't now I'm like on my feet most of the time, which is fine I actually like the work that I do I actually enjoy my work But um, you know it is what it is But I've made do because at that time I've really concentrated on the live streaming and the live stream I'm concentrating on things that I can do Like in a day that doesn't take a lot of time editing Like the live streams like even like making clips out of the live streams is kind of like I That's why like tiktok so much and while I'm getting so much engagement on tiktok And I put most most of the clips on tiktok in no other place because like I just never wanted to have the time It's a lot of work.
Even just posting the different sites It's like you got to type in the things and for each each site and whatever so but like with tiktok Like I could just post the clips on there and I think I've hit a good stride as far as creative things that I'm doing That's what I'm saying. Okay It is a pain and ass posting not everything but the same points it works out. It's interesting like whenever I make a video like a short I go to Instagram hover Hi, no I said one clip apps tiktok. Yeah, all at the same time and YouTube shorts Yeah, I need it.
I need to start doing that again I did it originally, but I was like I just wasn't getting anything from Instagram and I was just kind of like why am I even doing this? Like it's like this one of those words like you never know like you know how like you go to the store and you Buy a lottery ticket for the hell of it than I know or sell you one like a thousand dollars You're like, oh wait what fair point was randomly and that's that's honestly Sad to say it to like get explosive viral engagement and read just like luck like that I don't care who you are. It's like having the right idea at the right like having an idea. Okay.
I've been listening to a lot of Jordan Peterson I don't know if you heard of him. He is you know, okay Yeah, it's like all right. Well, he explained in one of his lectures that is you can be an Creative person and entrepreneur with the right idea the right thing and show the world that hey you can use this product I'll make your service and everything better and it would go nowhere But then someone else so the same idea two years later and they eat that idea up and it's the exact same thing and blows up It's about like timing and just getting lucky all at the same time. That is that is yeah.
Yeah, I yeah I'm familiar with Jordan Peterson. I've actually been to one of his lectures Yeah, dude, I started listening recently, but yeah before we go on Jordan page Let me let me let you kind of like how you played a lottery The more money you put in the higher chances you have to win with the back that you'll get your money back is very low while with Content creation I've learned instead just posting everywhere gives you a higher percent ratio of being seen like I've had some videos on Instagram to go into thousands and other hundreds then does that same video do like nothing on YouTube shorts But then I'll have a video that does exceptionally well on sick talk YouTube shorts, but not on this platform It's so weird, but I just do it anyway because it's it works. Yeah, it's what you're explaining is just work You know and you're doing you're you're it's essentially doing it's essentially doing a job I said yes, and because not every day at your job is gonna be great They're just gonna be you're just going through the motions most of the time like 95% of your year At your day job is gonna be just going through the motions and five percent of that are gonna be really great days You know and like 1% it's gonna be that one awful day But you know just like but with content creation so true so true It's so like I get like this and it's just because I this is my personality and it's a toxic trait that I've identified lately At least as soon as as much as I've started doing like content creation is I get caught up in the numbers I can't like I'll most of the time 90% of the time like we're just saying it's like I'm okay with it I'm just like you know what this is work I'm gonna keep doing it And I do this because I love it and that's true, but then Something you know this other side of me is like yo I it's that that human sort of I want to call it like let's call it what it is It's human greed is what it is because I want more you know and maybe not greed but just like maybe not no great It's because that's not great if that's too harsh a word it really is it really is a form of greed because you're wanting more It's and you're being gluttonous towards the numbers that you want more attention by Looking at numbers and everything everything else is like growing and getting to where you want to be and it is a form of greed Because like you want more but then at the same point you look at someone else that probably does the same thing go how How do you look at others and it's like you're nowhere, but you have a better set up than I do what it's a It's a bipolar thing that I have in my freaking brain And I'm just like yeah one side is like what do you think do you deserve something? What's wrong with you?
You're you're nothing you're gonna work this time You're gonna work so much harder because you'll watch someone else It's like amazing and you're like oh, I'm definitely not as good as that so duh And then there's other side it's like why you know maybe a little bit more wouldn't be Well at the same point the more is fine But there's more will sustain to what you need to do but it's also that balance of where you can have greed and want more but have the Understanding that if you can't get there, what are you doing wrong? What could you add that would help? I mean it's not really a form of greed if you're giving at the same point because you're giving content for people to watch and enjoy So it's like a selfless act, but at the same time what am I it's like you want to be you're making this content and yourself? You're like man I hate myself because I feel like I'm making this for no reason but then other times you're doing so well It's like what really it is a rollercoaster that's like on a gravity or gravity controlled device or some shit Yeah, you know when you're gonna go up or down like oh Yeah, normal rollercoaster normal job.
You can see the dials of every day you can't when you're a content creator You don't know when I'm nor you'll just get canceled because some ren of versa when hi or get famously No, I'm like Jordan Peterson out of nowhere because he said something that like and everyone like loved it because it makes so much fucking sense Everything he says makes so much fucking sense It really does yeah, I went down to Jordan Peterson kick there for a hot minute When he came out to us right before like he came to Nashville like I don't know I feel like I was like four years ago Yeah, I haven't listened to much of them lately I've just kind of just been actually haven't listened to much podcast lately I actually just listen every moment of free time I have him just listening to requests for my TikTok But yeah, it is an emotional rollercoaster You know content creation and I'm just wondering like do you have those ups and downs to are you in the same? Emotional boat as I am is like I'm I the only person that has these like back and forth in my own brain When I first if you're talking about numbers directly at first I did now I kind of just like eh I'm gonna do what I want to do and have fun the only thing I want to concentrate on is getting my YouTube up to where like I can use As a major source of income, but that's that's a different form of creation YouTube and every on all compared to all other short content stuff and even YouTube's not sure because it's long term It's different which is different switch I'm talking about he was partnered on YouTube and switch and he switched recently to twitch I mean to YouTube he switched to YouTube to do YouTube gaming you switch there for a Couple months now and he says it's like consistent because twitch is like all about lash like emo It's and all this like random things going on on the screen like it's crazy You can't just play the game and go while YouTube you can a little bit It's very interesting because it's what's calmer they like YouTube community is totally different than the twitch community interesting It was very interesting when he was telling me and I'm like oh okay. I see this I get it And I'm like maybe I should try YouTube for the fuck a bit I mean I got both but twitch like I like just chilling but I watch all these other streamers They got all this going on in chat and the ones who are it's just so weird like chatting on the screen random things going on left and right and it's like Fuck yeah, I don't see how I don't see how twitch streamers or or YouTube streamers can handle like the amount the sheer amount of Chat that's going on with how many people are watching them lives. It's like that can be overwhelming Oh when it's like I have listened to a few interviews with some of these creators and when they're trying to go nuts they say I glance over I read what I can what if it catches my eyes without be able to read or respond to otherwise There's no point.
It's just like it's going too fast Yeah, I guess that could be a sign of like you must be doing something right like that's a good sign like if the chat is going By super fast like oh, okay. Yeah, this is a good thing Negative and you just didn't see it and you're like a good time I hate rated. Oh, well, let's go Well, yeah, so what I love about Jordan pewter's is that he's a clinical psychologist on top of You read the Bible, but he didn't read it I don't think for religious beliefs, but for just the value of what was in the stories. Yeah Yeah, it's funny.
It's funny bringing them up bringing them up because yeah like in my early podcast days I was really struggling with this sort of I was I got really into it Jordan Peterson and about the religion aspect of everything and you know I consider myself a diagnostic I just I don't know and I'm from whatever but like the way he explained the Bible was in a way that I never heard Someone speak about the Bible work. Yeah, I was like oh, okay And the importance of stories and how valuable they are to human beings in general And that stories aren't just stories stories are actually things that we strive to be just as much as you know being inspired by a real human You know heroes of a story are just as important. There's another author that kind of goes on the same path I forget. Oh gosh.
I forgot his name, but he wrote the book about heroes essentially And what I forget about this author's name is but what he did is he went around and collected all the religious stories from all different religions And he wanted to try and figure out if there was a path if there was something similar of with all these religions and sure enough there was and it's the here with me here was journey. That's what it's that's what the book is called I think and So yeah, it's just I really enjoyed that part of it and I really enjoyed his debate with if you haven't watched it yet It's really fascinating. It's a debate between him and Oh god dang it. What's his name big atheist?
What's his name? It was really common it wasn't it wasn't like a debate It was more like a conversation to people that held different views and I really appreciate stuff like that because I'm not all about the You know I'm I've it's too short to get into like to get so caught up on differences between people like it Just like I love everybody that once you know it loves me or you know It's like respectful to me like it will have a converse I have friends and all different sorts of you know different backgrounds and different religious aspects like it's you know Anyway, that's sorry. Yeah. Yeah.
I like I like you know I like to keep it that way because then I'm open to so much more creeping in keeping it keeping an open discussion about anything Even if I don't believe in what you're saying But at least you can expect I can listen to it and understand it then I'll have an open discussion It's the people who will just sit there like no fuck you you're wrong. Yeah, okay. What's your point? Yeah when you shut down the converse Yeah, I've had yeah, like that we're not yeah, that's that we're not even you're not even you're not engaging Civil discourse at that point.
You're just you're wrong. It's like how do you know? I'm wrong like who are you exactly who am I like? Right, I never tell anybody you know You're wrong at least not anymore.
Maybe when I was like 20 and I didn't know anything and thought I did You know because when you think you rule the world because you're right or you think you're immortal But as the years go by you don't realize you're very well. Yeah, you're very vulnerable and you knew nothing Yeah, I started listening to him like a couple weeks ago And it really just changed my perspective on everything that you create your own hell in life And that you're the only one that you can climb out of it and just a little minute skill changes that you do that are positive Full effect even everyone around you. Yeah a little about and it will affect that effect everyone around them back to you And I was like yeah, it starts with you man like I love that message. It starts with you Basically, I think it's one of those first rules is a cleaner bed and it's like It's clean a room and I like the symbolism in that because that means like if you present yourself as someone who's got their shit together Then you're inherently like attractive and not attractive in like a sexual way But attractive just just in general like people are attracted to something like that your vibe that you're putting out You're your aura or a aura your aura that you're Inmitting at that moment.
I can't talk. I know Like I said earlier English is my from I didn't say this one English is my first language, but I still don't know how to speak it But you know, it's funny. It's like I Got most of my like I have good. Let me just start this by saying I had awesome parents But like video games kind of taught me how to be a good person I know this is we're kind of veering in this but like sort of taught me how like what to do I'll give an example like the event like the games with storylines and choices, you know, you can choose You know, which is really great at this the Witcher show was really good to show is awesome.
I love the show but you know You choose your choices and every time I never do the evil decision because even if I did do the evil decision I would feel awful. I it's a game. It's all fake It's not nothing none of it is real, but I felt it like I feel awful like oh my god. I caused this I caused this man Sometimes it's good because it lets some stress out because you're just like yes, I did this mayhem I save beforehand.
It's like fun to fall serious you could do that. Yeah, I'm not saying that you know But with video games you just love love the same. Yeah, you can just reload I'm not saying there's nothing wrong. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with little GTA 3 going around with an AK You know blowing up a bunch of buildings and cars.
There's nothing wrong with that, you know Oh my god, as long as you do your bloody Mary's and you know your Hail Mary's and you know God forgive me Wow Kids if you think it you did it so say it's the Catholic Church. I Never understood that I know that teaches everyone not to have imagination. I know I Dude actually reminds me like George Carlin's bit on the Catholic religion of the 10 Commandments And he tries to whittle the 10 Commandants down to two commandments. They've ever seen that stand up No, I do whenever you have free time It's one of George Carlin's stand up the 10 Commandments.
I'm sure it's on YouTube I mean he would have down the 10 Commandments to commandments and just the whole bit is I don't want to say anything Yeah, like dude, it's genius. It's gone, but it's yeah, it's amazing But anyway, yeah like have like do you remember a specific time as a kid playing games like and you're like Did you remember was there a moment where you're like? Yeah, this is what I'm gonna be doing. This is my thing like this is this is who I'm gonna be Who I'm gonna be as in as a gamer like it like oh like identify like I identify like I love This is my thing, you know like football is people's things like when I first started playing games and that was really young That was when I had record Nintendo when I started playing Mario and Zelda like I don't even know when that was But just back down when I start playing that I just I never stopped playing never did like and I played so many games So many so many I would get a new one every weekend Play it and be it almost that day Every time wow look at you.
Yeah, you're it you got it. You're in here Now like I could do the same thing with some kids I could just stare out like a plate literally for 18 hours and be fine But I know when the break I know when to get up. I don't want to get food like I'm not what does it just like because you said you had a son like how do you balance being a parent and Doing what you do. Oh, I come home from work and we watch anime together I mean I come home from work away.
I'm a is like oh, okay And we go and we watch anime like we just got done with a hodger son 13. Oh nice We just got done today watching jobless reincarnation I'm not much of an anime watcher to be completely fair. Total nerd anti-social person guys gets reincarnated to a new world and In he's naturally just a really good major. This is story is really well done like I certainly sounds like anime Yeah, but the story itself is just so well done in this what I appreciate I was watching Tokyo goal and I was like this is cool But like the story kind of got like all over the place like out of nowhere for no reason like But also sounds like anime I guess I mean I've seen some normal TV shows where I'm like, yeah, why did you just go there?
Have you seen Batman versus Superman? Oh my god the flash appearing in there and of back at the That scene with a flash appearing there should have been actually the very first scene of the movie where Batman is dreaming back Where why Robin is dead and why he's so angry at Superman what then it would have been like oh What a disappointing movie. I was so pumped when the trailer came out man I thought it was one of the best trailers of any movie I've ever seen and then the movie came out and like it's three hours long Yeah, it was legit the first movie that I wanted to watch not in theaters But when I was able to see it that I actually fell asleep to now I fell asleep two movies before but not where I actually want to watch something like movies where I'm just like oh, okay We're watching this, okay Like shit like that. Yeah, but not a movie where I'm like, okay, this is interesting Have you ever watched a movie before and movie theaters when movie theaters were a thing?
Oh shit There might have been one but I don't remember which one But I don't think I don't like walking out of a movie because like it takes a really really bad movie for me to see that is not a good movie Yeah, like really bad usually I I Will say and be like well this happens to this point like I'll analyze it but I can't I really can't think of anyone Oh, there was one I've actually never walked out of the movie before so there's that but my friends tell a story of when they watched This Mila what's her Mila Jokevitch? Is that her name from Resident Evil and Wolf? Yeah, yeah Yeah, so she was in a movie called I think it was her something violet I forget it was something like that It was some like action the trailer was really cool And it was sort of like this futuristic sort of action flick whatever and they were in there for an hour and after the hour mark They're like there's no way this movie can get any worse But we're gonna leave we're gonna leave right now and like they went out and got their money back and Like I got him. What was that movie called?
Oh, that's gonna darn me crazy I don't know so that sounds like it was around the time when sucker punch came out. Oh, yes Yeah, sucker punch was so weird how like the ending was and how the whole show could have been just done Like the whole movie and aspect was done in that one moment. I got it the movie was called ultra violet Oh, okay. I did not see it, but I had no violet.
It is a 8% on It's four out of four on IMDB For I'm sorry four out of ten four four Oh Yeah, but sucker punch like I thought that was an awesome cool. Well done movie until the end of sick That's the end of the day. I'm a little bit right. Yeah, so they're all crazy It's a thing is like she had a lobotomy done and when she had a lobotomy was the whole day everything in her head Just because like right at the moment when she had a lobotomy.
Yeah, that dude like that you know what that is. That's the it was all the dream It was all the dream inception Shit, I actually did enjoy inception I did enjoy inception because it didn't have that sort of twist I kind of left it open, you know And since you could expect that from that movie right not sucker punch It's like last minute explain a little bit. I'm like, oh No, yeah, you know like that kind of bothers me with with Showrunners or movie creators is like they try to be all cute at the end. You know, it's like calm down.
I'm not sure All right, let's let's Okay, let's see that night. He's the one who made the avatar movie right the remake like the live action. No, you're James. Oh, wait Oh, yes, yes, you're right.
Yes the live action I personally thought that was one of his best fucking movies people hated that movie I never watched it but the thing is like People hated the movie because like the characters weren't matching exactly how they died hard avatar fans were hating it because it did not match the original Like a hundred percent. I'm just like This is an I'm not for one. He did a decent frickin action movie with like out some weird twists like how you got Unbreakable or even was that ghost movie. I forgot which one that was oh Well, his original yeah or signs.
Oh dude signs is one of my favorite movies. I couldn't get into that one Dude, I love that movie. I loved it. I loved it.
It was so good. I love the music the music was great I love the the scene where the alien pops out. It's like So good, but probably because I like aliens and I feel like you know, I'm like I was really into that show ancient aliens there for a minute That's a good one. I mean It is kind of interesting how when you go to it from the Aztecs the Egyptians and the Mayans and they all have the same designs in their temples and pyramids while they were like on other sides of the world Yeah, I know I know like there's also another belief which I was gonna mention earlier is like with the rule We're talking about religions and stuff like how all the religions are tied together It's just what my buddy's theory is and what I thought was pretty interesting is that okay?
So you got all these religions like with the emathologies that they all actually are just like one person per one that were those types of gods But the aliens left Like essentially they were all aliens all these guys that they were writing about yeah, and like us. It's how we're a battle on Or be able is a beable what I'm not sure I think yeah, but you know the Little tower talking about I know it's an actual rocket ship not a tower But like in all reality like if they could body like you think about like all the religious because they're made a different time Heiras it makes sense if it was the same person because they will say aliens could live like for thousands of years We don't know but You don't know it's just interesting You got these three tribes having the same images from across the world and then you get all these different religions beliefs and Thelogies like my thing is like it's like when they draw when they draw true drew Like ancient paintings with like, you know, essentially UFOs like that that's not the hell out of me Oh, why would they why would they draw that that's that's why what that what were they thinking back in those times? I don't know that's kind of it's kind of strange Also, I love how like there's these pent like pentagon UFO videos and like no one cares Like we have pilots and we're like yeah, I chase the UFO and people like ah Yeah, yeah, that's funny because like they actually I don't know what that was on ancient aliens But recently since there was so many sightings by Airfighters and just people the air force that they couldn't actually say anything at one point or they would be deemed crazy or like insane Because nothing was popping up on the radar and they would get like essentially in trouble But like not but they were in trouble because they won't be able to fly or they'll be like grounded or something because they said they saw something And I was like that doesn't exist like you're just imagining it now you have It's guess up ready hours. I'm sure like no They actually got one but someone in the high officials actually like no you need everyone needs to document this and not think they're crazy Because like we don't know what that is and what this threats was yeah Jeez so crazy stuff.
Yeah, I Listen to like the Joe Rogan podcast with the pilot that actually described the video Because he was one of the roots dude and he's any the way that a pilot describes in a series He's serious. He's like this is what I saw you know like I am dead set like I've been a pilot for you know How many years been in this war and that war if you know is that any other and you know He's sitting here and he's explaining like a tic-tac that is literally doing things that essentially like something that it just is literally physically impossible Yeah, you know like it was such a good podcast. I love it. I gotta listen to that one.
I forget what his name was But I'm sure you can find it with Joe Rogan aliens and Air Force. Yeah, I'm gonna sift through action That hopefully I sold any podcast and I watched this very first podcast like what the fuck is this? Well, what the hell Joe like he started on it was before YouTube even was a thing it was a ustream He started on ustream and he streamed in like the comedy club Yeah, it's just a talk and then he started doing podcasting has been doing it ever like pretty right Right early ever since and he has the biggest podcast in the world. Yeah, he started podcasting That's why so when he was podcasting this is a little don't fact that when he started podcasting that it was so new that Apple and all these other platforms were promoting him for free because it was a new genre that people wanted to listen to So he was just getting put on the front pages of everything but then at the same point like he's good at what he does He knows how to talk.
Yeah, he knows how to talk. He's a he's up He grew up with martial arts and every every person that I've met that has grown up with martial arts have has this um This sense of like honing a craft like whatever thing that they pick up They want to make sure that they you know hone it as best as they possibly can You know in order to yeah, you grew up martial arts? Not a lot but a couple years. I was in some classes nice.
So you so like I love that because You know you're just you're enforcing what you're talking about right now. It's like yeah, you actually do have a good point as they're saying You just you know you I think it might just be like discipline. That's the word I'm looking for you understand the meaning of discipline and What that means as far as Um, you know what that means for anything that you do in life. You're just kind of like You know, I want to be a better husband.
I want to be a better friend. I want to be a better guitar player I want to be a better streamer. I want to be a better anything, you know, just you just You have that mental you have that from you know a martial childhood to like Apply to learning how to push your limits of every type of aspect of life When knowing when to stop. Oh, yeah.
Yeah knowing when to take a break. Mm-hmm. Well, I'm actually putting in more of like a global perspective of literally everything as like Knowing how much being nice is too nice. I know when like saying something to one crossing the line is not good knowing when to stop Like I talked to let me give you a little example There's a guy at work that like we talk on the phone all day because I deliver mail so I can just be on the phone all day, right?
And we'll just be should he'll say introduce the stuff or just like good stop to stop But then like in return if he does it I never do it again because he already said stop while he will randomly do what he's saying again And not realize and he's not for conversation on assassin Fair enough, but like it's very interesting that like You would say this discipline like you know that actually does make a lot of sense because it's learning everything in a whole And understanding that everything in life in uniform of discipline to understand if you want to excel or Not be anywhere or actually be able to respect a lot of person or treat other people right It's weird. I never thought of it that way until like this conversation. Oh, nice. Yeah, I think like because my best friend he grew up with um He grew up with karate and he became a black belt and That dude like if he sets his mind to something like he okay He's he was a very skinny dude growing up.
We were in a band together and you know, he was like a skinny tall kid really funny and When he decided he wanted to work out and started to like you know actually take care of his body That started and it never stopped. He is now a crossfit trainer and manager at one of the crossfit James out in LA and just like he just never stopped He found something that he was just he fell in love with and he just did it and he did just jacked now like Shit, I imagine fuck Although it's never never bring up crossfit around him. Just don't you don't bring up crossfit around people who Crossfit that's like sin number one You know thinking about that maybe this would enforce one of my morals of you know how when someone says they're gonna do something And then they just don't do it. Oh, yeah, I yeah, I'm a big procrastinator.
See that whole discipline thing I never took martial arts as a kid But the thing is like if you I'm pretty sure if you told someone you would do something for them Especially like you would do it. I'm pretty sure you're that kind of guy like you say hey, I need this dunk Can you help me out here? You would be there? Yeah, yeah, why are so many other people saying they'll do something and not do it I don't know I dude I don't know like I've known so many people that are like that They said will do something and like oh dude, I'm so sorry.
I totally forgot her this came up or you know Go to yeah, they just go to you don't even tell you like I remember and this is why I like I just kind of stopped Like looking for gigs as a drummer. I kind of ruined me that way because I was like because living out here in Nashville You're kind of like that's one of your options It's like gigging as a drummer and so there's a time when I was like my band that I was in I just broken up So I was like, you know trying to find gigs here and there and but he was like hey I got this you know gig for this country singer and it's gonna be a two month tour and this that and the other and I'm like, oh cool. That sounds great. Um, when can we start rehearsals and he's like, uh, let me get back to you on that and uh Members and stuff like that so you know where this is going, right?
A two weeks go by and uh, I messaged him back and he's like, oh, I'm still working on it this down the other and I'm like, all right Yeah, and so another two weeks go by and I'm like, bro What's what's what's the deal man? I got to tell my job like if I'm gonna be going on this tour that you said it was gonna happen A month ago like what's going on? He's like, yeah, I'm not with them anymore I'm not there. You know because he was the manager.
Sorry. I should have started that he was the manager of that of that of that group Whatever Yeah, that's that's pretty fucking right there. That's like you know, you didn't think you could tell me like you told me Went through this whole spiel saying this is gonna be these dates with this thing and like I'd have a lot of time and What I'm imagining is that he had everything lined up and then the key players that were supposed to be involved to push it like actually grew just to fuck you and it's like their own way Yeah, but yeah, it was what was messed up about it's like he wasn't like a friend But he was at least an acquaintance like we were on a first-name basis with one and I know of him And it just you know like common courtesy would be like, hey, by the way, like it's not gonna work Sorry, you know, it should happens and then I'm like cool like yeah, it does happen I'll move on and it's just it was just at that point I was just kind of like I really picked up the content creation at that point I was like dude if I'm gonna be playing drums I'm gonna be playing drums yourself and like I'm gonna be doing the things that I love to do And I'm just not unless it's like a can't pass up sort of the old like hey, like this is a real deal You're gonna think then yeah, but like I've stopped looking Oh, I I'm kind of like in the same aspect with like people and asking people for anything because I've I had a person that was good with websites and they said it would help me I give it information still Had you had to help me and I was over a year ago. I had people who say they have a whole bunch of like design for me to use and Like, oh, okay.
What do you want anything compensation? No, I'm just doing it for whatever. Okay Never saw them But yeah, I talked about for a while or like I asked Kay like can you edit these videos and then they say they will but then don't Or I'll get it's just I've just learned that like it's so hard to find someone who is consistent and actually will do something Yeah, that's the one thing about free labor though. It's like You know, I was willing to compensate these people that's true.
That's a thing That's that that's true. Like I think they're like the exchange of goods In a in a sort of in a relationship like that, you know where you were saying like hey design this for me I'm going to pay you You know, and then of course if they they'd deny payment, then there's not much you can do but like you know Yeah, because you're gonna get hopefully get a free product and you know, worst worst case scenario You don't get one but at least you know, there's any money But I do feel like the exchange of goods at least that Like motivates someone to get something like because you've just got paid to do a job And by not By not doing it like you've done something you essentially stole this person's money And I think that's that's a that's a sin that not a lot of people are willing to commit It's I don't know. I just I also like I'm talking about like more like things that like kind of like mess me up mentally Like kind of recently it's like I get so many people That want to be friends and I'm like gift and all like people and I talked to my regular basis now No, where to just disappear and I'm thinking like is it me because like as listen to Jordan Peterson It's like maybe it's you what is wrong with you and I think deep in myself I'm like I care how other people feel I listen to them If they need to reach out I'm here. I'm very literal when I talk I'm very serious I don't really be around the bush But then I'm realizing people don't like the beating out are very serious and literal and they just want people to shut the fuck up and just listen to them So it's like it counterdicks who I really am but then at the same point like It's just weird.
It's a very weird situation I think too. I think well, especially now like with the pandemic and everyone's gone crazy but like Everyone's gone crazy and everyone's just like not really talking as much because they've this you know They're a little less hope in their systems like and I've definitely felt it during this whole thing and It's definitely caused me to not talk to my friends as much as I used to Because I've kind of forced myself into this box of a different way of thinking so that the pandemic doesn't weigh so hard on my heart So I'm focusing on so many other things that make me happy Like and the fact that we're getting older and everyone has kids and you know everyone has you know a job and their lives and You know, I think that could be a part of that too. Again. This is just we're just talking I don't know, you know your life or anything So it's a point to me for me to tell you know what's been going on in your life But you know at least as I'm referencing what's going on with my experiences.
Yeah, like you know, it's It's definitely been different and it's probably just yeah, like I said It's just probably just a symptom of getting older but I feel like too. It's hard to Talk to your talk to your friends and ask for help. You know what I mean like at least for me anyway It's hard to ask for the help because the expectancy or the the ratio of Getting let down is so high now compared to actually being able to trust and believe in anyone nowadays. Yeah, so like You got a good friend Hey, bro.
Uh, I need help setting this up. Are you available? Yeah Uh, well, okay, can you be here at this time at this this day? Okay, day comes by.
Oh, we went. Oh, I'm over here Yeah, you can't do that man like like like like that's like I don't know like what If someone comes to me and says hey, can you do this for this thing for me? And if I can't do it, I'll let you know if I can't do it like like dude. I'm sorry About that one too.
What is so hard about that one so many people have that problem like No Like I could do it, but I don't know what I would be able to so I'll give me the information and Give me two weeks and just keep talking to me. I might have forgotten but just talk to me again And you know, I'll be able to get it done or not. I'll try it What is so right when people say yes, no, I could try but I'm not guaranteeing anything I think it might just be that they don't want they fear disappointing their friends I think at the outset like they much rather maybe they can do it. Maybe they're like, hey, yeah Maybe I will be able to do it, but at the same time.
I've never been like if I couldn't make a destination for whatever reason I'd let you know It's so weird. It's so weird because like I'm putting this into like how with like apex people I've met some people we would like destroy and go in and our goal is to actually be getting to masters And then as soon as we hit diamond everyone just disappears. They don't really contact. I'm not available It's just like can someone just shoot me now please Because that I put aside time for to like do the stuff and then when they don't show up or contact me or anything I have to find replacements or go in solo, but once you're in diamond you go solo It's damn near impossible and I'm not at that pro level where I could do it I need to learn more but I know I could if I had a team It's just so many people just like out or disappear or just backstage have you or so many so many things I don't understand why people do that in life man.
It's hard to find a good teammate I mean, it's like I know you're married and like how hard was it to you know to find a teammate that you said that you guys had the same wavelength enough to get married That was actually easy surprising links. I met her in high school. Oh, okay And she went to college and she came back and we hung out for a while and it would just stay together ever since Okay, well you are the except I loved I loved But I understand With just trying to find people that are just reliable and not just stuck in their own head and it's just so I don't understand Why is everyone can actually help each other or say they're gonna do something and not do it? I never understood that I got people at my job that I can't stand it.
I literally on Saturday was like Uh, so okay, I'll give it a full story from the beginning I got to work and we were breaking up routes because we're short staff So on the other routes we were just doing the letter the DPS And we're casing that and sending out the parcels to deliver not the not the mail because there was not we didn't have enough people to handle it So just the parcel. So I put every single different street In totes. So like you pick up the tote you see the street. Oh, that's the street.
Okay. What's next? I drove down. Oh, okay.
It's this tote. Okay. I set up the packages in order The guy went out to another worker said it was stupid. Whatever you did was stupid I even explained it to him.
I said hey, I did this. Um, everything's here This is how it's laid out. He didn't say anything to me, but he said something to his co-worker And she's like he said that was stupid. I think that's stupid I'm like I don't think it's good because it works for me and it works for almost everyone else here And for this is in front of everybody and I was like well, I mean if he's got a problem with it I showed him I explained to him what I did he could have said something I would have fixed it with no problem But he wants to call me stupid.
I mean, that's fine. I'll just put a baby bottle on his table when the next time he comes in So he can have like his pacifying like nighttime milk drink Wow, shots fired Then right after dad, I'm like hey, uh Erica could you buy little balls and put them on every single individual face mask that you have so when someone puts them on there There's a ball there Everyone's looking at me like the fuck and those two people were about to snap and I said are we done? And went yeah, I'm good because they know that the fuck with me They don't because I will just I'll lay it into them in like way where it's just like They didn't attack me And he was gonna give me a gift but he's telling me that he wants me to shut up without telling me he wants me to shut up You can't do anything with that. It's great Can't even go to HR with that because there's no there's implications, but there's no actual attack Hey, dude.
I've had so many bad issues with HR and just whatever job I'm in It's like, you know, it's funny. It's like dealing with HR at work. I watched that show the office and I'm like I get it I Dude I swear I'm working with a whole bunch of high schoolers that just want to talk drama and shit about each other Be friends in their face and then once they're gone talk so much shit about them I'm that person that will talk shit about you to your face and talk nice things to your face I got a co-worker. I can't I love the guy I could talk to him about anything for hours Right, but when he comes to the job he sucks at getting the job done when I was on one level below me I always had to help him out.
I had like a good your fucking pathetic Your basic piece of fucking shit and you should not you don't deserve this job You need to pick it up because I'm tired of helping you and then the next day Hey, do you watch the anime? But these things the same way he's like I just tell you how it is like it's just I rather have people be like that to me and talk for this. Oh my god. People.
I guess they're people anymore. You're awesome though. You're awesome Talk about I can't remember it. Well, actually, I only got like 10 minutes left.
I know I know but um I actually did I actually did want to talk about original character cosplay Okay, because I believe we touched on it the last time we spoke um and like First of all, explain what original character cosplay is because okay You know cosplaying is cosplaying is uh acting out a character that is already created and you dress the part and you act the part and you just Do your thing original character is basically you made an original character do cosplays Yeah, so like you make a character up and then you cosplay you could do whatever you want with that character like either in videos on Because tiktok is what a lot of people do is make video Yeah, or you could make a whole story and make them an actual thing But you're the original creator of it. So whoever made spider-man if they dress up as spider-man They're the original creator of spider-man. Yeah, so Yeah, that's the perfect explanation. How did you like you and your in your wife bloodvixen?
Um, that's how you pronounce the name, right? Yeah I read it. I'm like, I'm pretty sure that's how you announce it I love the stuff because like I love how creative it is and the the that's all her and her head I just did she do your makeup as well? Do you do it?
Did you see my most recent video? I keep now okay? Um She usually does it there was a handful of times where I did like early early early last yearish but the most recent one Yeah, she did all those like she did the she did the makeup. I literally laid down I closed my eyes and I was on her bed while she was doing the makeup I thought numerous times but took like two hours from mine To get done.
That's the makeup. That's that's commitment, man, but it looks so good. Oh my god. She's so good at it She's so good at it now.
Yeah, her videos are great and they're just like funny and they're like just I how do you guys do this is a quick question like how do because I've seen plenty of tiktoks Where the the frame rate is sped up, but not really do you record? Slimes two times two times two. That's what I was so sorry So basically like when you see us and we're moving like this and whatever But we're recording it if it's in times two we're moving like this really slow We're moving slow and then once it plays on the tiktok and because those times two times three your movements are more crisp Yeah, it's so weird. It's weird and cool.
Yeah, it's so crisp and you can't over it like go to fat You can't go fast like that or it's just gonna look so fucked up weird Normal it's hard to act normal with the three times two times three times three like the last recording session was the first time I've used times three I'm horrible at listening. Oh She had me do the witcher song. Ah, yes tascoa into your witcher. Not that one though Which one that can see someone the second.
Oh, okay. He's in the bar and I'll pissed off. I hate it. Yeah.
Yeah, that's a good one too. That's That's so cool. I do. Yeah, it's so good.
Oh, she chose that and I was able to hear it But once it's playing a times three, it's so weird sounding but the lures come out nor it Don't ask it's really I honestly think it's really cool that you and your wife do that together like that's that's really cool Um, and it just seems that you guys are really close, you know, just by doing that. I think just that's just cool little aside, you know How did you guys started? How did you start doing? Did you start doing?
Did you I did kind of like in creation? I started doing twitch and youtube I Listen to some how to grow things from all I forgot what it was. Maybe it's pretty popular Anyway, uh, he's we talked about tiktok and the finability so I tried it didn't know what the hell is doing She downloaded it because I had one and then made a video and somehow that video blew up And it was just 10 countdown from 10 to one and she put a whole bunch of pictures of her on there So she made a little bit so she made a little bit. I mean, it's kind of like had viral was it was it her in her original cosplay first one?
No, but there was a couple pictures in there where she had that were kind of like cosplay asked Uh, but it was just photos. She was dead a buddy did and held out and just like it was interesting But then she was doing it and having fun. I'm like, okay, why don't I do it too? I mean, it'll help my it'll help me meet new people grow a little bit and Yeah, like we want to do it more, but she has a lot of uh, uh, uh, Body problems like physical and capabilities and then she also has severe depression and anxiety So like she could have a moment where she wants to do it and then I'll know her.
No, so like with me I play everything out and I can with her I can't play anything out because like I'm trying something and it's like oh crap I already have this and you want to do this right now like shit so but If like I want to do more but it's just like It is what it is but like at the same point like she's when she creates it's like she's so good at it And this time when we were recording She we did things that we could when I was recording with her last year that like what took us forever do And this was just very smooth on how she was doing it She wasn't used to two people in there anymore, but at the same point it was it went really good. It went really well Uh, it's sort of like well it It's I just had the the picture of like You like to plan things out, but she does it when I just had a picture I had a picture in my mind like that that lightning bolt hits and this is how I I describe like inspiration and how you can just ride that Oh, no, she doesn't have this other inspiration It's like she literally listens to a song and save the song and have that idea in her head until she records It's just when she's able to it's still random Understand what you're saying is like that's me with the creative. I'll be at work with some random ideas I'll wait put this into like how do I put this in the car? Yeah, and then I can't I get home.
I can't even think about it Like it's like totally gone. You know, I wrote it down Yeah, wait for your original character. Do you do you have a story or you're not that kind of the wife? Okay, all the way like what's this really?
Oh, I don't know what she makes up. I really don't know that's not that's like really That's honestly like the oh, so you think I love doing it, but it's like the whole character development all that's not really me That's kind of like her thing and like I leave that to her because okay She's the one who actually created the characters I'm putting it on but when it comes to the show like what's weird is like I don't know what's going on until that moment That and that's how I work best because when she tells me things, I'm just like You know how like when someone's explaining to you like how what something goes a movie or something I'm listening, but when she's explaining to me. Oh, you're gonna be doing this to the song and this I'm just like, you know, I'm like What because my brain just doesn't remember like I was swept up as that. Oh, it's typical husband behavior We uh, oh no, that's just that's just me.
No, but that's like what I'm wrong thing is like you're correct Yes, but that's honestly just who I am. I can't remember certain things like for some reason I can't remember like really my childhoods for a few things like games like I don't remember really much of anything I remember getting picked on in school a lot. I remember I hated school and because I never played the game crystalist I haven't but I know of it. Yeah, the guy's face shift goes on a planet I say the plan from evil fucking alien slash beings and you have to get these stories like a power up and then bistroi Variars and you have game levels in certain areas just the first progress of areas.
There is Did you know that there's one area that you're not going to level then go to this location You will not be able to pass that location Wow, that's kind of mean Oh, it wasn't RPG, but it was one of those words like what do you do because you're stuck there now? Happen and then you're walking around like what do you do then you gain a level them re-walk around and it's like oh, that's how it works But anyway like I wrote was writing this Oh, you know how like we had young authors when we were kids like writing a book So yeah, I wasn't that creative when I was younger I couldn't really think about it. So I was just reading making that into a thing right like an actual book So I made it got 99 done with it Just needed to do the last boss like in my head and The main teacher read it because I couldn't really write well at that point. I was really bad at writing She was writing it out whether that's a stuff with like the assistant And very well about the turn it in like finishing it up the other main teacher read it said oh, we can't accept this it's too violent Yeah, that was my starting point I gave up on school, but I still graduated high school.
So Yeah, I had a similar situation, but with drawings I would uh it wasn't I would try I drew a ninja chopping off another ninja's head And like saying just saying that actually sounds like really creepy But it was just you know, I was in the comic books at the time it's like spawn was a huge thing Yeah, um, like I was really into spawn and just there's a bunch of violence in those comics And so just emulating what I was you know essentially into at the time And so they're like they called my parents and they're like we're really concerned about your son And this is I love my parents because my mom is like he is a gentle soul and he would never hurt a fly So you're wrong and let my son, you know be creative. Yeah, and so I was like god I love my mom because I remember that conversation with her and the teacher like she was pissed She was pissed Like so what if your imagination is running wild because like you're having an adventure in your own head I never understood like that whole stigma in schools, but That's why I brought my son to a private school and I'm pretty much broke for it And on that note, ladies and gentlemen, yeah, I know that no next time was wise drum We had no clue yet. We have no clue But hey, man, I really appreciate you taking the time to be on my podcast man Everyone appreciate it hanging out and and talking and and whatnot Uh, you can find him on twitch everybody twitch.tv slash final harps also follow my name to All you gotta just type in final harps and you'll find a list of a whole bunch of stuff side don't ever Anywhere on google you'll be like wait, he's done guys for tiktok what?
