Broadcasting live, live, live, live, live. In four hour recording studio. Recording. Hello everybody and welcome to another episode of Cox and Crandall in the morning.
Starting point is 00:00:40 It's excitement. It's excitement. It's here. I don't know why that was so funny to me it's excitement excitement it's ready nothing says i'm not excited like repeating it's excitement twice it's excitement here it is excitement it's excitement has arrived uh how's your excitement going oh my excitement is going well um trying to recover from our movie night last night uh yeah and uh i might have made a devil drink that i probably shouldn't have the scorpion king yeah the scorpion my new drink the scorpion king which was I might have made a devil drink that I probably shouldn't have. The Scorpion King, yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:28 My new drink, the Scorpion King, which was Sprite. Tequila. Tequila and then triple sec. That is a Scorpion King drink. It really was. It wasn't bad, but it had a punch that it was unexpected. But it wasn't bad. I think what happened is all the tequila settled to the bottom. So by the time I was at the bottom, like, when we were towards
Starting point is 00:01:46 the end of that movie, it was rough. It was rough. Oh, yeah. Plus, we actually watched The Scorpion King, so. We did. It would be kind of weird if you made a drink called The Scorpion King just for really no reason, as we watched, like, some of the movies. It was in honor of the movie. I mean, you can make it at any time. Yeah. In honor of
Starting point is 00:02:02 The Rock's first big movie, yeah. Yeah. I hadn't seen that movie since it came out in theaters in honor of the rock's first big movie yeah yeah i hadn't seen that movie since it came out in theaters in like 2002 so it was crazy to watch it's a wild film it's really a like snapshot of a time where i guess everyone was like okay here's the deal every person this movie must be gorgeous every person except the Except the guy that's the Rob Schneider Mathis. That guy's still attractive. That's true. He's just like the least attractive of all the attractive people.
Starting point is 00:02:32 That checks out. Which is crazy. But it's like this ancient pre Egyptian Egypt, I guess? And everyone is definitely down to bone except every woman's also trying to steal your weapon.
Starting point is 00:02:47 Every single woman is after your weapons. I don't know why. I don't know why it's a thing, but it's just like... The kids are after your money. Right? The kids are after your money. The women are after your weapons. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:58 That's the moral of this story. Yeah. Oh, and if you have magic powers that let you see the future, if you have sex, you lose those powers, but then gain the power to talk to animals. Yes, that's an important one. That's very important. It lets you decide what you value more, future or
Starting point is 00:03:13 animal talking. It's like one of those images with the button. Wait, with the button? Or it's the red pill, blue pill thing. Ah, yes. That meme. I see. Like, what do you want? The ability to see the future or talk to animals? It's that one. It was overall still solid, fun movie.
Starting point is 00:03:33 You're right. It was a fun movie. You know, it wasn't a great movie. No, by no means. No. It was fun. That's really all you need. It's kind of like this podcast.
Starting point is 00:03:42 It's not great, but it's fun. Are you saying we're the Scorpion King of podcasts? Yes. That is what I'm saying. I'll take it. That means we are on that hot spectrum, and women are trying to steal our weapons, and kids are trying to steal our money.
Starting point is 00:03:58 Yeah, that sounds right. Yeah. But, you know, that was a fun time. Good stuff. And then that was really, we really did like a 45-minute Cox and Crandor episode before that even started. So that was like a cool game. I don't remember what the hell we were talking about, though. I have no clue.
Starting point is 00:04:19 Yeah, no. I don't remember. It was something. It was something that people seemed to enjoy. Because we had like a lot of people watching at one point. I was like, oh, okay. People love the movie nights. Big fans. Big fans
Starting point is 00:04:32 of the old movie nights. It keeps growing. Every time we have more people. It's great. I just love being able to watch dumb old movies or Nick Cage movies. We've run out. There are no more Nick Cage movies on that platform that we can watch. Yeah. Twitch, Amazon. You gotta
Starting point is 00:04:47 reload. Go get some new ones. Come on. For sure. And for the first time in a while, there were a ton of Nick Cage movies on there, and we've seen them all. Yeah. Why is Mom and Dad not? I would love to watch that again with an audience. Oh, yeah. That would be great with an audience. That is a movie right there.
Starting point is 00:05:04 I love that film. That was an audience. Oh, yeah. That would be great with an audience. That is a movie right there. I love that film. That was an experience. I think my favorite Nick Cage movie is Mom and Dad. I think so, too. That movie was just insane. So that was fun. Good old movie night.
Starting point is 00:05:17 Yeah. What about your actual life? My actual life? You know, it's been all right i this past week was crazy because we had just a lot of filming to do uh some stuff that fans love are coming back to the channel and so we just did a lot of that that was pretty much my week and then realizing that uh i had a bunch of other things to do in between the time that, you know, like there's a weird thing that I think it's, you know, like the saying when it rains, it pours like that. Right.
Starting point is 00:05:50 Except like the good version of it. You know how, I don't know if this is a, if this is something most people can relate to, but I feel like it kind of is like, uh, if you get a girlfriend or boyfriend and then suddenly all these other people seem attracted to you, right? You find out like, oh, this other person was into me. And suddenly you now have like all these people that before you were like, I was single for a year and a half. Where were y'all? Right?
Starting point is 00:06:18 And then suddenly they're like, oh, I like him now. I think that thing happens to people sometimes. For me, the case is with like sponsorships or doing a brand deal thing. I will accept one and then be flooded with 12 more. And I'm like, I can't possibly do all this. But for some reason, my brain is like, Jesse, do it. I'm like, okay, yes. And then I'm just swamped and overwhelmed.
Starting point is 00:06:44 It's not a bad thing at all. It just means that all my time is devoted to all these things because I'm trying to hustle and grind out here. And then, you know, it'll be like a month and a half before anyone else contacts me. But when it happens, I'm like... Strike while the iron's hot.
Starting point is 00:07:00 Exactly, yeah. You're like, well, if you're going to do it, I'm going to take it. And so I've been doing a lot of that this past week and a half a half is just a lot of that yeah no i feel that that's especially in the the early months the january february everything's down right you know right you gotta you gotta take advantage that's one of the things that people i don't think understand about we've been in this so long that January, February has always sucked. Always. And I keep seeing people post like Twitch. This is my, this is how much money I made in December.
Starting point is 00:07:31 There's so much money. I mean, January, what's going on? And I want to just hug them and be like life, bro. It happened. It's fine. It'll be fine. This is this way for 10 plus years. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:49 I mean, you're a 14 and every time yeah every time the only time it was good was when machinima was paying me a flat rate back in 2011 you're still getting ripped off still getting ripped off but they were paying a flat rate so they were getting slightly screwed over in the bad months which is why they tried to pivot everyone off of those contracts. That and they were illegal. They're in perpetuity. Yeah, I think that most people don't understand that no one's, after the holiday seasons, no one is spending money on ads. And that's how
Starting point is 00:08:16 we make all of our money. They spent it all on the holidays. Yeah, and so during December, it's a good time if you're a streamer or a YouTuber or whatever, you're doing well. But after that, for the first couple months of the year, it's a good time if you're a streamer or a YouTuber or whatever, you're doing well. But after that, for the first couple months of the year, it's like a wasteland. And people get really worried and scared. It's like, well, that's why you save money and put money aside.
Starting point is 00:08:34 You got to be smart with it. You can't just keep traveling the world like we keep seeing people do, which, again, still blows my mind. There's a sizable portion of the streaming community that just travels all the time and i'm like when do you work dude i swear to god there's like some of those people they're like i need another break it's like they took like five breaks in the last like three months and they're like going to hawaii they're eating like five star they're just like another break come back they stream for like a day and they're like oh that wore me out. I'm like, what? A lot of the time I see people who I question how they earn a living because I know what I do. I know what you do. I know what a considerable amount of people in our industry do daily for work and that appear to be doing amazingly, but also not working at all.
Starting point is 00:09:30 I know. I've seen a few streamers. They'll stream like twice a month. And they're like, guys, big stream. And they're just like, this is sponsored by Coca-Cola. I'm like, oh, there it is. Right. That's one of those who, you know, things because that breaks my heart.
Starting point is 00:09:43 Oh, it definitely is. They are definitely part of a big, you know, tree of who, you know? Yeah. And that's, I mean, that's kind of what it is in general. When you look at the streamer, streamer, streamer, whatever the hell the new award show is. Everyone involved with that. Like when you saw last year, everyone's like a friend of someone else and someone was this and someone was dating this person. It's like all high school-y and it's
Starting point is 00:10:08 also because they're young too they all seem to be early 20s i'm just like oh boy plus like nobody else was doing it back when we started it was like a very small group now it's like a billion different people doing it or trying to do it it's's like, I remember we used to on Co-Optional get like 3,000 to 5,000 viewers and it was like number one to three on Twitch. And now you're not even like top 100 at that point. That's true.
Starting point is 00:10:36 You're absolutely right. Yeah, things have changed. So you got more people watching it, more people trying to do it. Everything's just oversaturated. It's crazy out there which is why you need to go to patreon.com slash crendor which i've revamped a bit fantastic check it out wow great please please it is interesting to me to see that the way the landscape has changed makes it very impossible for most people to get even started. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:07 And so when people ask me, like, how would you do this? I don't know. We were fortunate enough to start before making money online was even a thing. Yeah. I did YouTube for two years before I did it. But still, honestly, doing YouTube is still the best way to get into it. Because you can, I mean, if you're're on twitch you can stream for a week straight you can stream non-stop like 12 hours a day and have like one to five viewers but on youtube you
Starting point is 00:11:33 could put all that time and effort into making like a really good well thought out video and like doing all this stuff and it'll get more traction because like you can post it in places blogs will post it people share it and like they don't have to know who you are. They aren't like, is this big streamer? Blah, blah. There's like, oh, it's a cool video. And then you grow from that. Like it's, it's a hundred percent easier.
Starting point is 00:11:52 I mean, when I started, it was literally, I like World of Warcraft funny videos and people have stopped making them. So I was like, I think I can make pretty good ones. And so I started doing it and that was literally it and Like nobody else was making them. They're all like, yeah, you know I'm tired of it like the old school super old school Wow people and then I was literally the only one I'd like hit the Top 10 search engine all the time. So I would just be like hey look it's my videos nobody else is making any like that was now it's like every day people flood the
Starting point is 00:12:24 algorithm and search engine with like streamer reacts this thing like there's a billion different things. You're absolutely right. Everything is flooded. There are just so many people and so many channels and everyone has more and more access to the technology that allows you to stream or make videos or whatever. That allows you to stream or make videos or whatever. And YouTube and all the different things, they make it easier for you to do it as well. Like with in-app things on your phone. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:55 It's a lot. Which there's also just a lot of different platforms. Like even just like TikTok. Then there's Instagram, whatever they are. The scroll, what are they called instagram stories or instagram reels that's what it is reels yeah stories are another thing that exists there but are not real whatever and then youtube shorts dude i swear to god okay let me rant about youtube shorts go uh i am so tired of seeing YouTube shorts in my subscription feed. It drives me insane.
Starting point is 00:13:28 Because I'm like, oh, let's see what fun videos we got. And then it's like, half the videos are shorts now. And I'm like, listen, I don't care. And I don't even mind people making shorts. Because it's good for the algorithm. It's fun. Like, I do it you know but i try not to overdo it because i want to flood people's feeds but it's like give me the option
Starting point is 00:13:50 to like sort by like regular video or like short or like put the shorts in a different tab or like just just some sort of organizational option for the youtube shorts so i literally made a youtube short that was like get these shorts out of my sub feed. I'm sure that went over well. It actually did. People loved it. In fact, looking at the rate of likes versus dislikes, 98.7%. I did a poll. Here's the thing. The polls on YouTube are good for algorithm, but I like making polls i think they're fun so i did where do you primarily watch youtube right and i did desktop laptop phone tv and tablet uh so phone one as you might imagine of course but what do you think the percentage was phone uh 43 phone that's what i thought it would be it was 61 and that's out of 6.6k votes so that's over half those people more than that on their phones that sounds right it also makes
Starting point is 00:15:00 me upset because everyone's focusing on making like 4k 8k videos and i'm like everyone's watching it on their phone that's pointless yeah plus i thought the desktop be higher because i mean like our audience is all like nerd people from growing up being nerds but i don't think that i think you're amazing audience don't listen to cred dollar i mean what's wrong being a nerd so i figured they'd be more on desktop but i guess you know people are older like they're I mean, what's wrong with being a nerd? Duh. So I figured they'd be more on desktop. But I guess, you know, people are older, like they're working or like you're out. And like, you just, you know, it's easy to just pull up YouTube on your phone now.
Starting point is 00:15:34 No matter where you are. Maybe you're laying in bed, on couch, whatever it might be. And then desktops, 26%. TV was 6%. Laptop, 4%. Tablet, 2%. So that was interesting. I was happy I did that poll. TV was 6%, laptop 4%, tablet 2%. So that was interesting. I was happy I did that poll because I was like,
Starting point is 00:15:49 damn, I didn't know that many people were on their phone. What does that translate to for content creation? What does that mean? It probably means more people are using the YouTube Home thing because it's kind of harder to navigate to your subscription tab I think on the app because it opens you right away to the home feed uh it also probably means thumbnail design is going to be different because when you're looking on a phone it's different from looking on a computer uh so you know there's a few things that go into it in my mind that means
Starting point is 00:16:21 if you're on your phone you don't want to stay on your phone for a long time looking at one thing right right so shorter is better which i guess is why shorts or reels or tiktoks make sense but i'm curious like what does that translate to for video videos you know i mean you still might be watching like longer video it depends on what you're doing i guess like maybe you're sitting in your car eating food you just got and you like put your phone up on your steering wheel while you're parked eating been there just play a video yeah yeah done that so i mean you could be watching longer videos like that uh but oh my god so today i was at the gym before we recorded this and i was like i'm gonna go in the sauna for like five minutes because usually after i work out i go in the sauna you know like loosens up your muscles you're like oh like yeah uh so i went in there was a like 70 year old fully naked man that is every gym that has ever existed yes
Starting point is 00:17:18 yep and then this like probably like 50 year old kind of like, he looks like, like scraggly hair, like long kind of brown, black scraggly hair, goatee. Like he looks like he just went on like a Vegas binge and they're just talking to each other. So I just sat down and I turned off my AirPods.
Starting point is 00:17:41 So I was like, I got to hear this. And he was just like, you know, we just need to stop making everything outside the country we just gotta stop doing and then the other guy's like the problem man is that we're consumers right we consume we are a country of consuming and like you ain't gonna stop that and he's like yeah but what if we just made stuff here we just make it he's like
Starting point is 00:18:03 can't do that because the prices go up you know and like people are gonna complain the prices are too high and he's like yeah yeah yeah they're both i mean like they're both pretty accurate in it would be better if we made more stuff here but also also the prices would increase. But also if I was there, I'd be like, you know, the reason why there's been relative stability in the world and why we aren't blowing each other up all the time is because of trade. So when countries make stuff and ship it here and we make stuff and ship
Starting point is 00:18:37 it there, we have incentive not to go to war with each other because we're all making money. Yeah. I learned that from video games. Yeah. So like that should in theory be, you know, a good reason to be like, okay, well
Starting point is 00:18:52 some things we can make overseas and things like that. My favorite part is like after all that, they pause. Then he goes, I used to drive like an old Toyota Chevrolet Camaro hatchback 73 here it was the guy's like no way and he's like yep that's what i used to drive back you know how much i paid for it eighteen
Starting point is 00:19:16 hundred dollars and he's like no fucking way and he's like yep that's what i paid and i was like all, I've had enough. And then I got out. I'd love to pay $1,800 for a car, even if it was kind of a death trap. Yeah. Still cheap. That's the cheapest death trap, my man. That is.
Starting point is 00:19:36 So great time. I need to keep going in the sauna. I missed that. Then again, every once in a while, you run into that one guy who talks to you. Oh, yeah. I haven't seen that guy. For instance, before COVID. I forgot his name.
Starting point is 00:19:47 It was like Greg or Gary or something. That sounds dark, dude. You know what? I haven't seen him since before COVID. I wonder what happened to him. I genuinely don't know. He said he wanted to go back to California, so maybe he went back there. Maybe.
Starting point is 00:20:02 Maybe. I don't know. He's selling car batteries or some shit um so that was fun yeah i uh i don't have any of that i no one talks to me no one unless they once that i feel like i have a want something face like no one talks to me to be like back in my day and instead they're like you look like you'd like to sign a petition or can i have a dollar mister i mean you do say that you always have like the craziest people like come up to you though but they don't like they don't talk about like i got a car but my people that talk to me are like you see that planes
Starting point is 00:20:42 aren't real like what that's what i'm saying they just for some reason they see you and they're like this guy definitely needs to hear the planes aren't real he has to know nobody else will understand the other day i'm out it's night time i'm driving down the road and i end up at a stoplight and this guy walks up next to my car all all tatted out, knocks on the window. You don't do something like, you just don't do that. In the middle of the street, you just don't do that. Knocks on the window. I look at him and he holds up a sign that says, uh, ex-convict looking for a handout. Whoa, what?
Starting point is 00:21:16 And I was like, no, I don't want to roll down my window. I don't want to judge anyone, bro. But it's like 9 PM. down my window. I don't want to judge anyone, bro. It's like 9pm. I'm not going to roll down my window because you've got a sign. I don't think I'd roll down my window for
Starting point is 00:21:35 anybody at that point. If it was a Girl Scout and it's 9pm and she's like, hello, do you want cookies? I'm like, hell no, demon. Yeah, no, 9 p.m., they should be in bed. Right? They're selling cookies.
Starting point is 00:21:50 That's up to something. Again, this is that crazy intersection where, like, there's a bar. That's what I was going to ask. Was it the crazy intersection? It always is. Always. Again, let me just stress for the record this is the intersection where for a time there was a giant billboard of famed internet streamer ninja just like posing and there was an
Starting point is 00:22:14 ad it was like an ad for his clothing line this is how crazy this intersection is there's a restaurant that has changed hands five times the last five years. Every year it's a different restaurant. This year it is a African food place. And I would tell you more. I'd be more specific because Africa is a continent, but I can't because it literally is like African food place. It's just the name of it. The name is like, I don't want to actually, I'm not going to say the name because I don't want to like blast them. But the name is so vague and it's like best African food.
Starting point is 00:22:47 I'm like, I don't, that is not descriptive at all. Yeah. And then it has a picture of like a guy smiling, holding a bowl of food. I'm like, okay. But the thing is, before that, it used to be an Italian place. And before that, it used to be, no, I think it was Italian, then Chinese. Now it's African. So it's going around the world. And the craziest part is, I think it was Italian, then Chinese, now it's African. So it's going around the world.
Starting point is 00:23:06 And the craziest part is I think it's the exact same people, and they're using the exact same equipment, but because no one goes there, they just keep changing. Spin the wheel. See what we land on this year. It's a wild place. I feel like this is like the Bermuda Triangle. It is a place.
Starting point is 00:23:21 It's one of those busy intersections in the city, but no shops or anything can spring up there at all. Right? The only places, like, for example, there's a bar that is near there. It's maybe like, I don't know, 150 feet from the intersection. And
Starting point is 00:23:39 it is, you know, it's like kind of right off of it. But that bar, at night, especially Sunday nights because they do football games there, which I'm sure today will be totally fine. When people leave the bar, they don't just like, you know, let's get to our car. They walk out in the street and talk in the street. This is a major. You have to avoid people. Cops come now and escort them across the street because they'll stand there
Starting point is 00:24:06 and talk. Crazy dude. Crazy. That is man. I said this is the Bermuda Triangle of Intersections. This is like the craziest intersection I've ever heard. It only gets weirder
Starting point is 00:24:21 every time I'm there. It only gets crazier. It's hard to believe that that's the case, but it always does. And I always keep forgetting the things that happen until we either mention it or it happens to me day of recording the podcast. Because so much happens there. It's like overwhelming. At least it makes for top quality material to talk about. It does. It's just bizarre to me that with it, I shouldn't be bizarre.
Starting point is 00:24:51 That's a lie. I live in a section of the city that is very touristy. And that intersection, if you just keep following one of the roads, you literally end up at the ocean. Yeah. So like tourists are there and locals are there. It's a major intersection. So I get it, but LA got to calm down.
Starting point is 00:25:12 It's too crazy in there. People are wacky, wacky. Well, you know what's not wacky? Oh boy. Learning with the awesome power of Babbel. That's what. One of the most exciting things you can do for yourself this year because look, we're just starting.
