And going viral back then was different because going viral back then would mean like one hundred thousand views in a day.

Which is crazy.

But no, it was actually one of our first videos.

So we didn't even get a chance to like feel out what this world was like before going viral, which is the weirdest thing to say.

It was our first video that we uploaded specifically for YouTube.

It was like a week after we made our account.

It was like five or six years after we started.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, I used to put.

everything in my life on the internet i had relationships i had vlogs for years i just had everything on the internet he knew it was a bad choice a whole vlog channel yeah and i disagreed with he knew that he knew it was a bad idea at the time i'm like you don't get it man this is what people want you gotta give them what they want it's true it is what they want yeah it turns out it was not a good idea uh but i had to learn the hard way it was successful but it doesn't even matter i had to learn the hard way some shit you just gotta learn the hard way

And then you learn from other people like, oh, that person had a stalker that found them because of this thing.

Exactly.

Okay.

like uh information is so readily available sometimes like you there's so many protocols you have to put in place in order to protect that yeah learn that shit in college no and you know it's wild like for example uh when we started shooting our sketches back then there wasn't any google maps the most that you could really get was like map quest and that did not have satellite view it did not have a google street google street view so we would just be like whatever well we could just shoot anywhere we want and then we found the front of the house

I was going to say, did you know how to say no?

Because sometimes it's so awkward.

She's like, yeah, I do mind.

Yeah.

That's the tough part.
