0:00 which is lame bro they should let chicks you know let the titties fly dude bro it's good business for everybody isn't it it's good for everyone [Music] so something that's um it's been pretty big everywhere everyone's kind of talking about it is G4 got shut down oh you guys remember G4 you guys know G4 I'm not too familiar with G4 what is this gaming are you a nerd yeah dude that's sick could you tell yeah no I like I didn't know that I'm a nerd really oh you're a fake ass hurt again not like a jock but like nerd like games techies yeah gaming I guess people gaming this is weird [Laughter] in that world but yeah yeah bro video cards dude
0:50 are you just naming cried at the end of Final Fantasy when he finished it was that's the last time I cried that's sick I don't even played those games but I know all about them through every other major event before a really big Network back in the day that you know put gaming on a different Spotlight did a lot of gaming content had some good shows um and so they they launched originally 2002 and then they actually stopped 2014 and then they did the big relaunch where they were bringing it back and that was with all the oog people yeah and then yeah and then Gina from here went there and then within a year of them of their relaunch they're now done again did it go to television or was it on stream because I know it's streaming as well yeah it kind of depends because I know that like I could get it on my Vizio TV for like Vizio watch you know like the
1:41 TV that channels that come yeah yeah they had that there I don't I'm not sure where else you could find it because yeah you know it's that's a little harder to just run into it but then they did do a lot of YouTube content and everything and the budget looked huge the shows were great yeah yeah the other dude they're like an ex-wrestler didn't they I don't want to ████ up his name it wasn't bulk Bogan I don't want to ████ up his name I think it was a WWE wrestler who's like a nerd oh I don't know he's like where was Omar he's like a Megan nerd and I think he retired from wrestling and came on those shows too like they had like power behind it like they had like celeb power yeah they had strong stuff they and they they gave a lot of like internet personality their own legit shows yeah Scott the wise had his own show there were a lot of good stuff classically my favorite thing to watch on G4 back in the day was this thing I don't know if you remember this street Fury what it was all about like import cars and import models that is sick wow you never
2:32 saw this stuff right I was just about to say that it's my Jeep whoever she is find this girl for Mike that's my type right so like the type of posters you have in here yes do you follow Kayla on Instagram yeah that's pretty cool that's a really cool thing but yeah G4 within and the sucky thing is you know that's 47 people that are being laid off from G4 closing a lot of them didn't find out about it until the world found out like they released like a statement and then that's how they knew like they're finding out right now from this video kinda it was like yesterday's yesterday yeah yeah and the CEO like just like tweeted like a tweet longer it was like yeah it's a bit longer yeah that sucks I hate it when I see those things Tucky way to find out yeah yeah like they
3:23 can't just like five minutes before goes hey like there's gonna be a press release that FYI we all lost our job Ninja Warrior was on that channel Ninja Warrior oh really yeah what if they're experiencing a much bigger level of us where like their ads get pulled too well that's exactly what happened their main investor was Comcast and they pulled out wow yeah in my head is just a television issue right when you talk about any shows you're watching it's like Netflix originals now HBO Originals even even prime yeah and who knows what the real like actual issue is but the one that kind of like a lot of other people are saying it is that are sort of in that World um one of the main things is that viewership was too low for how much they were spending because the the production when you look at the show they're like legit shows like yeah they look like the old G4 exactly it kind of I thought it
4:15 looked even better I was like dude this is like made for like now and it was like powering through but when it comes to gaming it's like most kids just watch Gamers like streams yeah it's not really like it's very like if to do long form in like old school format even if you're like kind of rebranding for the new school still how do you compete with a kid who has more people watching him and he's spending zero to you know sit there and play his games and that you get the genuine connection from that yeah that's hard especially on Twitch where some people are just taking baths you know and people will watch that hot tub what a great segue you the issue here with the hot tubs is that
5:07 they were locking down on like nudity and anything like that so uh and then it was like some sexism stuff where like guys were allowed to be shirtless ladies weren't so like all right you can only be in that environment or or that outfit if you're in that environment so you can't just be wearing a bikini streaming games that's what they were doing and then guys would do whatever and they're like you have to be at a beach a pool whatever so then uh she brings her whole setup I'm sorry I'll show that the opposite they'd be do it blow up they do a green screen yeah they do a blow-up pool and they just sit in their living room dude which is lame bro they should let chicks you know let the titties fly dude bro it's good business for everybody isn't it it's good for everyone it's good almost almost who's it bad for tell me right now who's about but you know a lot of them for some reason shut down though like Tumblr shut down their their porn nudity um there's a thing called Africa TV in
5:57 Korea that was huge like uh content creators were making like Africa TV free a free area what are you upset about that yeah yeah yeah yeah he was pissed I just want to know how it was spelled just because of curious yeah like it's got a k there are content creators working like 45 000 a week but then they stopped their nudity stuff remember when only fans did yeah the only fans they always that was funny they stopped it for like a day but they do that like Tumblr they they all for some reason at some point go hey you know what you can't be naked on patreon no you can't yeah like actual I think patients you could pay for it I thought no that's what made only fans its thing we're like only fans I don't know who the Creator heard his interviews or anything but I imagine he was just making a platform similar to patreon but then he never ruled the nudity and then it became pseudo porn or porn where I don't think patreon I've never heard of it oh wow I don't think you show PPE or nothing on
6:48 patreon yeah that's what everybody's trying to sign up for so it starts with a P I was trying to say no not PE but PP you know like it's just more innocent you say it that way I feel like patreon's way more clean thank you for explaining bro I was just I was just trying to light it in [Laughter] well yeah G4 is a good Channel but again like seeing it and seeing the budget that goes into it they probably just had such a high uh threshold for what they needed to hit in order to maintain that investor hey I mean but that's ████ hard man yeah it's like they're they're
7:39 trying to do new school content with an old school vehicle which is tough right now I mean that's the thing it's it's like when you when you watch it it's not bad like it is good it's just our how do you get people over there yeah that's the main thing you probably just signed a contract with Netflix or something right you pitch you pitch more of a series than a TV channel yeah and that's how you get up in yeah some things with kids watching because right now like their attention spans what five to ten seconds and then these shows are unimaginable well it depends because there's also kids that watch 24-hour streams yeah it's actually yeah we're just we're just getting more extreme kids are able to watch the same thing over and over and over and over again that's one thing that's always been true so like you and On Demand too versus TV it's like when you turn it on you're just stuck either you start from the middle of the show or at the end of the show you can't control versus I want to watch the beginning now I think their attention span is short with advertising so if their attention span is short with getting them to know about a certain
8:30 product so like if you don't get to the ████ point that you should watch this thing within the first five seconds they're already somewhere else yeah but if they know they like it they don't want to ████ move from that ████ like they have such strong allegiances to people like Ludwig or like Ninja they will never ████ turn their backs on like who they like or even Mr Beast like they know they like him that's it and you know once you get him there that's good but again like the format's different when you follow individuals these days putting a program like G4 maybe there was a problem with that or they never nailed how to do it yeah but it was arguably it was very good very good content what's that TV channel that's made it like what's the newest TV channel maybe like spikers yeah spikes of what Pops in my head and that's like what 20 maybe maybe Barstool TV if that exists as like a channel I don't think any like TV wise I I just really don't think there's a market for that anymore it depends when's the last time you turned on TV and what were you watching I love
9:21 it's usually Sports what do you do I don't have TV but I love it I feel like the movie when I'm scrolling this might get a little you know spiritual but I feel like when I'm scrolling I feel like the movie chose me I ████ with that when a movie pops up and it just happens to be there I can enjoy it more than if I'm like I wouldn't choose this movie right now but it's on so I gotta watch it I can't choose a movie yeah so like for instance if you go on Samsung TV a lot of the channels that we watch are things like there's a channel where it's just Kitchen Nightmares 24 hours a day yeah there's one where it's just wilding out 24 hours a day it's a lot of the same ████ there's a people or awesome Channel where it's just that there's a fail blog channel where it's just that but you don't really get a lot of channels that have like a variety of stuff coming at you even stuff that's game theme there's a channel on Samsung TV that is nothing but a guy playing a game just like twitch and he's playing
10:12 the same game so it's it's very different it's like maybe the whole like variety pack of thing kind of doesn't sell as well as if you just give someone the ████ Flaming Hot Fritos all the time but then when I feel like what new TV shows that do really well they get packaged on like Netflix or like nowadays Hulu is like if it's networked but the thing is they are bingeable for a reason yeah you were allowed to go through that whole ████ if you if you're down to commit that time I think that's a metric somewhere that somebody went oh people want this yeah they don't want one episode you know like and then you gotta wait that's not ideal yeah yeah didn't Cartoon Network just get bought up or die too yeah no this week they just ended the Cartoon Network thing and it gets absorbed in a WB yeah hey you know what Discovery yeah yeah yeah that's tough man but yeah you gotta scale back or you gotta you know try
11:03 something else just so you have a Vizio TV and a [Laughter]
