I don't know where you started with this propaganda.

I don't know if that's totally true.

That's in my head, the narrative, and I'm going with that until the day I die.

Yeah, I've been contemplating.

You know, I want to fix the narrative now.

I'm sorry for coming out, for gaslighting you.

But I will say that we became closer friends because we were forced to be in the car spending time after school together.

Played video games at your place.

We hung out at my place.

We're bored.

And then we picked up the camera and started messing around.

Yeah.

Yeah.

uh i think from y'all and audience yeah there were like there were a very little amount of people that interacted with it it was like 12 people that interacted with it and they were like whoa funny oh and we were like is this a platform that we should uh consider putting our stuff on

And it was free.

Yeah, exactly.

Because people don't realize that in the early days of the internet, there weren't just like platforms that you could upload video to for free.

And if you hosted it on your own website, the more views that it got, the more that you'd be paying for bandwidth.

oh okay so you guys dropped out at the same time are you guys both yeah yeah yeah yeah we're both um professional dropouts yep uh thank god it worked out i know right well your parents are like they were a little bit like but also i was like we can always go back if we really have to right we can't we can't necessarily go back to this moment where like this is the perfect time for this new platform that's taking off yeah so that was our argument

yeah well honestly because at the time people just made one-off viral videos or just one-off videos for their friends and there there really wasn't like a continuous momentum that was even established yeah or people like following one specific person yeah see that just their content like yeah exactly there were very few people that made consistent content with a consistent audience
