each other real knuckles I'm not I'm not like I'm not crazy I'm not I'm not I'm

man
what I haven't I haven't left my house in five weeks I've been isolating has a
responsible citizen right yes yeah and I feel good I feel first of all I'm so
excited to be here I I'm excited to have you here I posted that I've been going
through my computers I'm at home I'm going through my computers and just
killing
time I live alone okay I happen to be single at this point in my life ladies
there you go huh right right before this happened and I kind of think to myself
sometimes I think okay imagine if I had been in a relationship that hadn't been
going well and this happened and then you have to make the decision to isolate
with somebody I'm not in that situation I'm home alone and I've been talking a
lot to my friends on FaceTime and I've been socializing and I've been you know
living life in this world but alone in my house I'm going through my computers
started going through old footage I found that clip from when you came up to my
house back in the day and yeah I just I saw this moment where I just I'll jump
right into this if that's cool sure because this I saw this moment in the
clip where we started talking about my old web show and you'd come up to my
house back in the day and it was so cool that you came up then and I remember
at
the time your website was like way advanced right like it had all sorts of
extra stuff on it that people weren't really doing on the web back then and you
came up we just start talking about the web and that was because of my webmaster
Andrew Blevins shout out to Andrew uh-huh he's a wizard at web creating so I
was
always really into the web stuff you know I had my website I started my website
early when I was you know up in Canada and I was really thought that was cool
and
we started talking about what I was doing which was kind of crazy right and
then
you just started talking about you said you said uh what what what we got to do
is figure out how we're gonna make some money off this and I'm like yeah and I'm
like like oh yeah I know it's I mean I'd been trying I had been trying I'd been
going to you know advertisers and saying they were like what you know what do
you
mean the internet you know but it's kind of funny I saw that clip I thought
that's hilarious because you know not to not to you know blow too much smoke up
your
ass but clearly you figured how to make money off of it and it was hilarious I'm
like that's hilarious and prophetic moment how can we make money off of it now
we're here in this beautiful studio yeah there was a few moments that uh really
planted a seed in my head to do something like this online this yours was a
big one yeah being at your house and seeing how you had servers you had full
cables like folks this room is not as sophisticated as Tom Green's home was in
2007 that's how crazy it was there was some weird stuff in there yeah but you
had it set up like an it you had a whole internet service provider set up at
your
house like like you could have run like a network in 2007 you had all those you
had that whole rack with all that equipment I walked in that room and it's
humming and I'm like holy shit dude uh-huh it was the G raid drive the G raid
drives yeah I was like this is crazy this is your house and it's like folks
like back then
you had to have these cables that snake through the house like so everything
was
taped down I was like fuck dude this is like you you literally turned your
house
into a set mm-hmm like it was much more like a set than anything I'd ever seen
before outside of a set there were lights screwed into the ceiling yeah I kind
of
trashed my place you even figured out how to take video calls from people that
was
exciting crazy that was exciting I had this this yeah there it is Tom Green
yeah yeah yeah and
then the TV on the wall yeah and there's my dog Steve oh poor Steve person oh
and look I
have uh don't have gray in my beard oh look at that um you're a young man back
this was probably around 2007 I guess yeah and that's that was the back corner
of my living room
there it's a genius you can see all the wires going up see that that's going up
into the ceiling
up through the ceiling into the spare room which I turned into the editing room
look how crazy all this
equipment is it dude you were so ahead of everybody that's actually a little
later actually I'm looking at
this now this is later this is after okay because I can tell because that's an
actual that's not the
TriCaster that's an actual television switcher I forget what model it's a Sony
switcher so you
started with a TriCaster and a computer there was a thing called a video toaster
system first I had
that for a year then we got this the first version of the TriCaster that's
Victor who was working on
the show and he's he's stoked that I'm here today I still talk to Victor quite
a bit shout out to
Victor Victor what's up but so yeah so that was a little later but still kind
of you know we're
talking three years later so 2010 ish yeah yeah look at all your like your
lighting and everything
like you had done it where you had basically instead of like putting cameras in
your house
mm-hmm you would turn your house into a studio it was like legit mm-hmm I
remember thinking oh my god
cuz Anthony Cumia had a kind of a pretty high-tech set up in his basement yeah
that was another
inspiration yeah yeah cuz he was doing that while he was doing Opie and Anthony
and you
know they actually his employers at the time wanted him to stop doing it they
had
decided somehow or another it's not he shouldn't be allowed to do an extra show
right he's like but I'm just promoting the serious show right like this is free
like people could see it it's fun so Anthony would do karaoke with machine guns
in front of green screen
uh-huh he's still she's still kicking ass on the internet yeah yes wait no he
has his home he has
his own network yeah exactly yeah yeah yeah I love that guy he's a he's a
unique dude he and he was
great on Opie and Anthony he was always really funny and just like like a comic
but he never did
stand-up yeah it's really interesting he's like the most comic-y comic guy that
I've ever met
that never did stand-up is Anthony Cumia 100% could have been a great comic 100%
I think sometimes
people that I mean I'm just making this up right now but I think sometimes
people that have never
done stand-up who do radio are afraid of it you know cuz it's like maybe you
know cuz they can they
can it's a scary thing getting on stage you know it's in front of an audience
if you've never done
it before but you get comfortable behind that mic but anyways yeah man it was
so cool when you
came up because I remember like I think there was like entertainment tonight
was there that day or
something like that I remember that and you talk to them after that's right
that's right and you left
this made this quote to them and that went out and it was defining what's
happened in our world you
were just saying you know like we don't need the advertisers anyway we don't we
don't need the
networks anymore we don't you know we can go straight to the advertiser I
always is that video
available anywhere I think I saw it on the internet somewhere that video of me
saying that is kind of
hilarious if you stop and think about how all this internet stuff has played
out since then it's like
street and there was this pre-YouTube right like nobody was uploading to
YouTube you had to have
your own tomgreen.com setup so I remember I got a call this is one of those
like you know when you
think about think back and you sort of kick yourself I'm you know I was it was
so I mean how far into the
weeds do we want to get technically I was like yeah it's like people are like
who give a fuck oh there
it is right there but here I was I had the surf there that's the clip yeah that
was my backwards
basketball hat days so we were still in those days we were hosting this stuff
on this site called
bitgravity.com so we would upload our shit to that with those the guys from
Denver mm-hmm no uh bit
gravity is San Francisco okay San Francisco and Barrett Lyon is did you do some
stuff with some guys from
Denver that was that was sort of around the same time they were that was mania
TV yeah right right
right and so they kind of but what I what what I did was mania TV was the only
people that were really
doing live streaming and I said hey you know like I want to build this TV
studio and they helped me
build the studio but I I wanted it I wanted to be autonomous of them as well
right so I got my own
servers through this company bit gravity where they basically invented the
technology to upload video
and then serve it out right so I would link that to my website tomgreen.com
completely autonomous of
the other website mania TV so you know it was some funny shit that happened
there because you know I
remember like I think back ago I really made a few mistakes you know like I go
I want all the stuff to
be on my website right and then YouTube started you know what's this oh YouTube
oh that's cool they're
they're doing a thing out of an apartment in San Francisco and I remember at
one point somebody called me
from YouTube said hey man we really like what you're doing with your thing I'm
like oh that's cool cool
man yeah yeah I'm kind of doing my own thing over here you know yeah that's
cool I like what you're
doing too and never really kind of connected with them because I thought I was
thinking at the time
it's got to all be on your server right so you have those views not thinking
okay we could have it out
spread it send it out just get the eyeballs on it so but it was it was exciting
it was exciting time
everybody thought that though I mean no one could have ever saw what YouTube
had been yeah or has
become yeah it's great what's crazy about YouTube is that there's not another
one there's just YouTube
it's like there's Vimeo and a few other fairly popular video sites yeah but it's
like the XFL
compared to the NFL or something like that yeah not even the XFL is done right
do they just go under
yeah done yeah now it's like comparing the two of them because all those other
video things it's like
yeah you'll get some views but it's just YouTube for whatever reason captured
they they have the
market it never became my space you know remember YouTube yeah something as
simple as uploading video
yeah I mean obviously it's complex right like just the being able to get it
onto the website and make
sure it streams and all the technical stuff super complex but just the concept
is pretty simple you with
your phone or a video camera you film it you can upload it like real simple
anybody can do it and
then anybody all of a sudden get views like that is amazing that one company
has that locked up it's
kind of crazy because you would think that like boy that would be something
that everybody would want
to get involved in look how much money YouTube is making yeah I would I would I
haven't thought about
that but I guess kind of not the amount of of advancement that happens every
six months in in
technology and they've got the funding to be able to stay right on top of it
and just make it the
strongest platform possibly I don't know I don't even Twitter like how they do
that there's like one
Twitter yeah I mean there's Facebo
