YouTube does a revenue share. They actually technically don't know what's going to get uploaded today. And it could be the biggest video of the day. It could be something like Amazing Digital Circus that did 500 million views across three episodes.

That's going to be like a big changing of the guards because that's like a there's some risk mitigation that I don't know if they would be comfortable with. I mean, like Pat McAfee. Yeah, I guess Pat McAfee's a good example on ESPN. He's a sports guy, yeah? Yeah, sports. So ESPN just picked him up. Yeah, that's right. And he does independent.

Well, he came onto ESPN, but that also created some, you know, ESPN tried something similar with Barstool a while ago, right? And Barstool got taken off the air within an episode or two, Because, again, there's a risk factor. They said some stuff on air and they were like, we can't do this. Get them off the air. But McAfee's the more mature iteration of that as both spaces have kind of matured.

That's like a YouTube show that was brought to television. And McAfee's really good where he's doing, I don't know if you guys saw the College Game Day stuff where he's doing the big field goal kicks for $100,000. It's essentially a YouTube title but built for TV that then gets clipped and put onto YouTube. And so I think that's what Colin's saying.

They have to give irrational deals to creators for that, right? Yeah, versus the talent agent showing up and saying, here's a good... The other problem is distribution. So like Jimmy, for example, like Jimmy is... Yes, he's in the media business, but he's in the chocolate business, right? And so being able to get to 200, 300 million people in a video is really significant.

And YouTube being at the top of the connected TV streaming apps is... like you'd probably choose YouTube if you're just going pure distribution. If you're selling a chocolate brand or some other type of CBG product, you choose distribution over not. Totally.

And so I think when you're getting offered a deal to go onto Fox News, do stuff on linear TV, it has to be such an irrational deal because it limits my distribution. Even if I go on to a Netflix, technically I'm limited in distribution if I'm Mr. Beast, not if I'm another creator.

The greatest thing about your guys' shows, it started on Zoom. We talk about this in the context of creators. Back to the advice to up-and-coming creators, it's the same advice. Keep your overhead costs extremely low. Creators are the startups of Hollywood. We always say, think out on a 52-week schedule. Could you do this every week for 52 weeks?

If you're someone who loves to set up cameras and lights, sure, you might be able to do that. You're 100% right. But if you're busy people, you're like, yeah, we can hop on Zoom every week for 52 weeks.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Well, you do. We don't. Uh-huh. And we're working on it. Yeah, but we're working on it. But I think also there is, I think in all these platforms, when they announce a new monetization model, they need model citizens. And I think, Chris, your show is a model citizen for Spotify. They've put you on billboards. They're definitely going like, hey.
