50 million subscribers?
I have technically maybe like 10 million subscribers across the two channels.
I have like 8 million on one.
50 million on our most viewed video.
That is crazy.
I interrupted you.
No, you're good.
So from four years of going to Drexel University, Noah and I just were going in the libraries, filming those videos, doing skits,
experimenting with all different types of concepts.
And we went from about 13,000 subscribers our freshman year to about 5 million by the time we graduated.
And what did you learn there in order to like blow up that way?
I don't think we would have blown up without it.
It was less about the curriculum or the actual knowledge and the camera skills and whatnot.
We learned the basics that we then applied to our filmmaking and videos.
But it's more about what you do
in the real world or like you can work you can go to school and do all the classwork and essays and then leave there with nothing essentially you have your piece of paper and then nothing but it was what we were doing in between the classes that made all the difference it was speaking with other people including them in our videos uh basically building this sort of community and these uh how do i phrase this we essentially just
took advantage of the resources we had.
So we had computer labs available to us.
So being able to utilize friends our age, hop in this video, be in this, let's go to the library, let's film in this classroom, let's film here at midnight.
And they were basically free sets for our film, for our concepts, for our comedy skits.
