There are some of these that I'm like, that's an amazing show. And they're getting 10,000 downloads an episode. And I'm like, I right now I have 950,000 downloads on app one. Which is, I mean, I'm going to hit a million on that first episode. And I really still don't fully understand. But because everything happened so fast, we didn't have ads in right away. They weren't host read ads.

So, you know, it's all the span ads and everything. There was a lot of money left on the table in July. And because it blew up, it's like, oh, we need to keep the feed going. Like, you can't let the feed... Because I'm like, okay, I guess I'll do a second season. We'll keep it going, you know. And... The problem with that is that that is expensive.

I wasn't planning on this becoming my full-time job unless it really sort of did what it did, which... I wasn't financially prepared for. Two, like I had enough money to make season one work, but that's it. There's no reserves. And everybody is like, you have to keep your feed going, which is when I started getting offers from networks. And I had three offers from three different networks.

Every single offer was enough money to cover production. And that's it. And I lost a lot of freedom. And they wanted it to be a weekly series. And I didn't know that the quality would be the same if I switched it to that sort of churning out a weekly series. Because mine's storytelling. It's very different than an interview situation.

Yeah. And I didn't want to turn it into a chat show. And so then it's like, okay, I'm not. going to do this. I'm not going to keep doing this because I'm not going to work my ass off, not get paid. And I didn't know how to negotiate with the networks. I hired an agent that only made money if I went with specific networks.

And one of the things that there was one network that offered me a ton of money, would have paid for production and doubled like an income for me. And they had a thing in their contract that I almost missed because I don't know shit. And it was based on 3 million downloads a month. Yeah. And so I sent back and I was like, hey, these aren't my numbers every month.

This happened and I hit that, but I don't know that I can hit that. I need a real... minimum guarantee on what my numbers actually are.

And I was supposed to release second season the end of October. Like I had a release date for second season and was literally like scrounging money trying to figure out how to keep it going because everybody was like, you have to, you just have to keep going. And I had talked to my production company and it was sort of like, let's figure out how to make second season
