0:00 but it's like that's that's iMessage audio voicemail and that's Geo you're talking to I think that's just a group chat Clubhouse was just like live podcasting yeah I knew my message was gonna go down so [Music] anybody here a fan of Mr Beast I love Mr Beast if you have ████ to talk about Mr Beast I'll just ████ leave I haven't seen one video I have a confession to make I have ████ to talk about Mr B's can you bounce I have a confession to make I've never seen a Mr Beast video but I've heard that he is a YouTube genius he's the Michael Jordan of YouTube pretty much right he is yeah yeah Steve don't leave I'm out of here no we didn't mean it no no come back Steve do you know him personally is that why

0:50 no no I don't know why does he look like he's gonna spill the hot sauce no no please Steve doors no don't help him I just want to see if the ████ feel all that ████ dude thank you oh he's really leaving ████ guys Mr Beast is a ████ I didn't say anything bad about him we didn't even get a chance to say anything he has Uber here is it Uber pool oh my Uber's gonna be here in a minute I'm not here yet oh ████ all right I'm gonna wait inside it's hot I'm wearing ████ huge tracksuit so it's just hot but yeah we'll go I'm so surprised you didn't spill anything okay so um Mr Beast believes Tick Tock will die soon what dude because he's right dude

1:43 everything dies in like three years man we just ████ got started what what yeah what is he basing that off of because I hope it dies soon what is your what is your speculation what was before Tick Tock Vine maybe Instagram what happened to vine it's dead what happened to uh that ████ one with the yellow icon Snapchat Snapchat Gone Gone But Tick Tock seems bigger but with Vine Chinese why did Vine fail why did Snapchat fail vinefield because of Kylie Jenner apparently really she came out and said it was lame oh no it was Snapchat Snapchat vinefield honestly because they just um six seconds right yeah I think it was just it was just one of those flashing the pan things that like they were they wanted to sell it quickly like I think the people behind it just

2:33 wanted to ████ sell it to somebody else quickly they helped like Google would buy it or somebody but I don't think anyone bit in time yeah because that's what happened to Snapchat if you remember they got like a four billion dollar offer and they actually turned down Google who then turned Instagram into like having a Snapchat option like the stories which are pretty much Snapchat yep so so they're like ████ you we'll just do our own thing we don't care and then and then and then later Snapchat's like oh ████ we should think that but that's like the whole classic zucking right the Zuckerberg element right yeah and it's what Bill Gates did with Microsoft he took everything that you were going to offer and just did it for free and if you're gonna you're gonna sell it to Microsoft cool that's easier for him but if not we'll iterate our ████ we'll build out and we'll just do your ████ for free and give it out during the suite of Microsoft that's how the Sony

3:23 PlayStation happened they were supposed to do a deal with Nintendo yeah and then they it went bad and they went all right we'll just make it ████ my ████ Sony console exactly that's why there's like maybe four I think that exist of like the um the Sony and Nintendo prototype yeah pretty cool that does sound cool it is really good Sony Nintendo prototype that's unreleased there's only a couple of them yeah but they exist well so uh recently on Mr BEAST's um YouTube show type thing what is it called he says a full send podcast for anybody who listens to Mr Beast uh he talks about Tick Tock because somebody had asked him uh was asked if Tick Tock would eventually take over his beloved YouTube now I think it's important to understand that Mr Beast is like the king of YouTube which makes it he's the biggest thing maybe there's a biased

4:14 element to his perspective on it but at the same time you can't be a king of something and not know something that other people he's the he's the girl he's the goat right I think he said that uh he got offered a billion dollars for his YouTube he was got he did get offered a billion dollars and he turned it down and that's crazy that is crazy he doesn't I mean for some reason he doesn't give a ████ about the money was just tight yeah have you have you uh Rogan yeah like because like jorro was like oh you got to be ████ balling right he goes no actually I'm in debt he's like puts all of it back yeah he's like because he's like I have like eight videos or however many all going on at once and each one of them costs like 10 20 million to make so it's literally ad Revenue comes in here and then I have to like he'll build entire warehouses just to shoot like one thing yeah then him not selling for a billion

5:04 I think he's stupid as ████ I agree with you that's who cares with a date he doesn't care about money like I don't yeah but people do his game is like I just want to make the best YouTube video ever yeah well he gives away a lot of money too yeah I always see him give 10 G's to people which is like pretty ████ crazy dude can you imagine just like Mr Beast on an off night and you're like a waitress at Applebee's and like Mr B comes in he's tired and then you're like you you see me like oh my God I can't believe this ████ and he's like oh I'm just here to get like a ████ I just want to get a burger I'm here for the two for 20. he's like what what coupons you guys got going on this cat's like I'm not trying to give you 500 I don't give a ████ I'm not gonna keep 500. every interaction that guy has must be nuts oh I bet yeah

5:54 they all think it's like you know oh my are you gonna change my life right now oh no sorry I'm just I'm wearing my sweatpants and like you're always wearing sweatpants he's like oh ████ that's like that's like Epic Man in the 90s that's true Publisher's clear now same effect yeah so again if I used to carry the big check everywhere when Mr Beast was asked if Tick Tock would eventually take over his beloved YouTube he responded and said I thought the same but YouTube shorts they've really taken some huge strides and all comes down to the money so YouTube shorts and I think this is a very very pertinent conversation to where we are today because my man Ryan you know what I'm saying well I'm trying to keep it Anonymous I'm I didn't say anything I just said my mom looking for like Anonymous props yeah Anonymous props point is whoever it is in the JK Empire they're telling you that has now been transitioning our content both to

6:45 YouTube shorts it's not Barton jump [Laughter] hey little tip of the trade there uh if you still haven't figured it out yeah like uh definitely not definitely new but now now that now that JK content for the first time ever in ████ 16 years plus of existence writer has finally got on both YouTube shorts and Tick Tock I think this is an important conversation for us to at least be ever so slightly ahead of the curve on in our our own analysis or understanding right so the reason why Tick Tock my diet and YouTube Again by Mr BEAST's words for sure will live on and be a reigning champion of social media at the end of the day always comes down to money right he said quote unquote so starting in January if you get like hypothetically a

7:37 billion views on Tick Tock whatever that is that's like a thousand dollars exactly yeah from what I understand Tech talkers don't make that much money unless it's like from Brand deals or something yeah you have to use brand deals for your ████ views over here on YouTube I mean that could literally make you a hundred thousand dollars Mr B said yeah something so there's more parody in the in in the on network ████ and then he said the host then asked is Tick Tock going to adapt to that you think Mr Beast replied yeah I think they're going to be forced to he was also asked what he thought this meant for the biggest tick tock Stars he said Charlie demilio Addison Ray all these people if they can just literally do what they're doing but over on YouTube and make a bag off of shorts and then on top of that that boosts long form which makes even more money you're going to be

8:28 crazy to be a tick tock first content creator so Tick Tock which would be a supplement to drive traffic well because Utah YouTube shorts right now they're putting a rumor has it slash whatever confirmed reports and stuff like that for everybody who understands on the back end they're putting a ████ ton of money into YouTube shorts let me just ask you this would you rather get three main views on YouTube or tick tock as a Creator you too duh so that's the whole thing yes longer shelf life yeah and then on top of that right they're talking about the fact that when you have something like YouTube shorts which let's say it's effectively Tick Tock but YouTube right it's the same ████ concept but YouTube and then let's say you also do YouTube long form content but because you're on the same platform it's it's immediate direct connection yeah you go right to the page then you have all the Content Library why would you not capitalize on that single

9:20 connection to optimize your content creation versus like multiple platforms let alone the fact that based off what he's saying there's gonna be even more money that goes into YouTube shorts specifically than Tick Tock by itself regardless of the fact that you make long-form content that can be like you know I mean like bumped onto that it's just One's Gonna Pay you a lot more why would you just do Tick Tock yeah that's kind of like a lot of his argument you know what I mean the weird thing is that like for a long time since the beginning every everybody already knew that about Tick Tock and it hasn't stopped more people from consuming it yeah so in the end it's just wherever everybody's at right yeah but the incentive to make more money is probably going to drive people to another platform the main content creators yeah but then maybe that'll that'll pull the

10:11 audience also who's the audience on Tick Tock right it's it's generally kids like less likely to have any kind of income to purchase things like merch or anything like like that would help a Creator who's like trying to sell something so that that's another economic reality that people don't know about but also there are some things that only um like then you're looking at the odds of a person with money wanting to buy something or the odds that a parent will just say yes to buying a kid something they asked for so there's that too because most parents have the money to buy their kid some dumb ████ for Christmas but that means that we need to have a ████ stupid app and a stupid game that is monetized but we but we don't I mean look at fortnite like that's not something that's like directed at adults that's mainly kids that's mainly kids that don't have money yeah it makes millions

11:01 a ████ year you know and it's a free game but if you know parents who deal with fortnite like it's it's like that it's like holy ████ like that's all the kid wants it's all they want it's how I reward them if you I mean the cool thing I think about tech talk is you're able to get a ton of eyeballs yeah and so if you know how to monetize those eyeballs they're not good for you right it's it's on you that like the funnels for it yeah they they're making like seven figures and all they're doing is ████ teaching how to flex your triceps and ████ I'm like God damn that's ████ crazy which is crazy because it's such an oversaturated Market too you could find that anywhere yeah and yet they still make those numbers right because there's so many eyes the cool thing is that one thing I do believe is like when Tick Tock dies if it does by that time there will already be a different one running the newest one that's coming up is that what

11:52 is the one where it's like it takes both pictures and back that's the newest one I heard and Tick Tock copy that too right be real yeah be real yeah I think that's the newest one I heard they got Tick Tock now like a different subset yeah it's kind of similar but yeah I think there's always going to be that like other come up app that just gets a ton of people using it like look at ████ what was that one s█████ audio one that everyone was going crazy you know musically it's a precursor usually with some dog ████ though giant chat rooms yeah the chat room ones oh yeah ████ Clubhouse Clubhouse like people were ████ people were ████ over that and it was the dumbest thing and we all knew that it would never get on clubhouse I was like ████ no it's so whack it was only only did a great job of launching during coven that's it yeah

12:43 because people were just ████ bored and lonely and like we're entrepreneurs so like I'm an entrepreneur I should be in like an entrepreneurial place I'm like oh yeah hello everybody hello fellow entrepreneurs what are we all talking about today there was I will give a credit there was there was a blip of magic to clubhouse though no it was whack in the beginning the minute that I heard it might have been whacked to you the minute that I heard it where I was like wait so people debate and instead of taking like two hours because people go back and forth they're responding when they have time this debate is going to take three weeks you know because it's like Nick says something I don't know that Nick said something and then I go what did Nick say about me and it's ████ Tuesday oh yeah and then Nick is ████ living his life and on Thursday that's not how close I love you

13:33 I love you I love you and I respect you yeah we're all like wait is that like the beta version that might be just WhatsApp don't think Bart knows what Clubhouse is but it's like that's that's iMessage audio voicemail and that's Geo you're talking to I think that's just a group chat Clubhouse was just like live podcasting yeah I knew my message was gonna go down so categories so like you could pick a category and like you could go in there and ████ info all I'm saying when I heard somebody talk up Clubhouse one of the things that I didn't wasn't able to shake even though I wasn't like super big fan of Clubhouse they're like yo I was in a ████ chat room in conversation with like XYZ celebrity or people that they couldn't reach normally and then they maybe got brought up to like talk as a guest or whatever and then suddenly you're in a again non-visual chat room with like some of your like ████ favorite people

14:23 specific to the industry and you're like I would have never had a ████ conversation with this cat and I was like that is crazy it's like when Elon Musk yeah but once it blew up too much then it's like you're never gonna ████ get into those rooms anyway now it's big so so I think when it was very just beginning there was magic but then once I think everybody was like this valuable when they came over it's like there's no more it was like 19 days of value I think that was the number I think it was 19. all I know is he was trying to take down iMessage yeah I don't know what that was he's on The Voice Memos too [Music] oh foreign

15:14 [Music]
