Bill and I just watched a 60-minute segment, right, about social media
influencers.
And so there's these kids on there, because, you know, they're millennials or
whatever,
with the exception of Kim Kardashian.
But the other people on there are these young people that, you know, have all
these viewed
vines and Snapchats and everything.
And so companies are paying them insane amounts of money to do advertising for.
And one of them is this blonde kid whose name I don't remember.
He's fucking hilarious.
And he does these splits in front of people, random locations.
He's like at the Wall of China, Eiffel Tower and everything.
And he has all these, like, views.
No, no, I thought all those kids are funny.
What drove me nuts about it was how the reporter just couldn't get his head
around it, going
like, so then you get six million views and people want to advertise in that?
Are you worth all the money these companies pay you?
To be honest, I'm worth three times the amount of getting paid.
So you're a bargain.
I think anyone on the internet with eyeballs at this time and place is a
bargain because
it's so new.
No one really knows what they're worth.
You're on a TV show.
You're on a TV show.
There's advertising on your TV show.
The amount of viewers that you have is how much you can charge for ad space.
Why would this be?
He just couldn't get his fucking head around it.
He's explaining it to the people that are watching 60 Minutes, which are older
people generally.
They have older correspondents.
They're explaining it to our parents.
They're not explaining to us.
Oh, you're letting them off the hook.
You're letting them off the hook.
No.
You're letting them off the hook.
They're doing it.
I'm telling you.
You're letting them off the hook.
They're doing it for like 60, 70 plus year old people.
That reporter was exactly who I thought he was.
No.
And you let him off the hook.
I'm telling you.
He's earned the freedom to make ads the way he makes his videos, off the cuff.
We watched him making a Dunkin' Donuts ad in Central Park.
When he posted the ad, it was viewed more than 7 million times.
And Dunkin' Donuts told us this spot had the same reach as a primetime TV ad.
For one day's work, Logan Paul was paid almost $200,000.
There's a reason why they're so like going over and over again.
All right.
Well, maybe because I get it.
Maybe because I get it.
Yeah.
You get like impatient with it.
That's for old people that are like, you do what with your phone?
Yeah.
I fucking have a podcast.
It's a radio show on the internet.
Enough people listen.
People will advertise.
I know.
But explain that to like an old, I shouldn't even say, my dad's 65.
And I think he would grasp that concept.
But like think about the most older people who are not LA, New York, who are
just not savvy
about that stuff.
Like they don't get it.
And they probably don't necessarily still get it.
And the kid's like, oh, and then I fucking do this and I wear a Jimmy John
shirt.
Yeah.
And he's like, and then they pay you for that?
It's like half the fucking bands this guy's going to see.
Like there's advertising at the shows.
The Rolling Stones have like Bud Light in the background, right?
I know.
I just think, I really think that they're explaining it for older people who
don't understand what
it means to go viral.
They don't even know what that word means.
It's a new phenomenon for them.
They don't get it.
That 60 minutes is not for people.
No, it's a new word for what the fuck they've been doing.
Yeah.
60 minutes went viral in the 60s.
It was a hit show.
Right.
It just wasn't viral.
It went fucking.
Because there was no internet.
TVO.
Viral.
Whatever the fuck you call a hit TV show.
Right.
But viral.
And do you think there was people from the 1800s still alive going like, so you're
in that
box.
And a lot of the more people that watch it.
You make more money.
Yes.
Yes.
That's exactly how that works.
Yeah.
It was fucking like, but he said it to every one of them.
I know.
Every single.
I'm telling you, he was explaining it for the older people at home that don't
understand
these things.
And Kim Kardashian couldn't have broke it down anymore for him.
I can handle it.
If you're famous worldwide, would that famous Kim Kardashian exist without
social media?
Not in this way.
I totally attribute my career to social media.
I have read that you have figured out how to monetize just the act of living.
I guess so.
Yeah.
The reality is she's a savvy businesswoman who was one of the first to turn
those millions
of eyeballs watching her online into millions of dollars.
She posts pictures and gets paid for clothes she wears, products she uses,
brands she endorses.
And he just couldn't get his fucking head around.
He's like, so you don't sing.
You don't dance.
He's like, no, I just like, it's a lifestyle.
I'm a brand.
And he's like, dude, you're literally interviewing her on.
You're taking the fucking time to interview her.
She obviously has some sort of fucking clout.
We've been talking to a number of young influencers.
Many of them have different talents.
They do comedy.
They dance.
They sing.
Yes.
What's your talent?
It is a talent to have a brand that's really successful off of getting people
to like you,
for you.
You've turned you into an empire worth in excess of $100 million I've read.
So I would think that has to involve some kind of talent.
You know?
I do believe that the pros in my situation, in my lifestyle, have been more
beneficial
than the negative things.
And the money's not bad.
Not bad.
I've never seen a guy so in the eye of the storm, and he's out there with like
sunglasses
on, like looking for the sun.
It's windy out, and a tree can hit me in the head.
He just couldn't get his fucking head around it.
It was drive me up the fucking wall.
Drive me up the wall.
And then also like people acting like these little things were these high
concept fucking
bits.
They're not.
They're quick little fucking things.
Like that dude going, I can do the whole Batman, Superman, what if in four
seconds?
Yeah, of course.
Yeah.
Everybody said that.
Yeah.
Superman would just fuck him up.
That was it.
And then the old guy was going like, so like that's, that's what you think
would happen?
Sorry.
And when you were watching your reality show, I tapped out when that girl
finally just goes
for me, after she'd just been talking about herself.
And then she's going to talk about herself talking about herself.
I had no idea my mom was that frustrated that it affected her that way.
And I just feel like for me, I know, I really do hate that.
Just for me, I just feel like for me, I just feel like is not a great way to
start a sentence.
You should just say, I think I feel for all of that, all of that reality show
speak that you watch, you know, and that made me feel a certain kind of way,
some type of way, made me feel some type of way.
It's always so fucking vague, but some type of way never means happy.
Why can't you just say it fucking pissed you off?
Maybe because this is a nicer way to say it.
Right, maybe because you don't want to get into your specific emotion.
So you're like, it just had me feeling some type of way.
Oh, no, no, no.
There is not one woman on any of those shows that does not want to get into how
they're feeling emotionally.
That is what the entire fucking show is.
I don't know.
I think it's just the way young people are speaking now.
They don't say that made me frustrated or I was really angry.
No, that was like a, that was like a, you just say, I'm in my feelings.
You say, no, I'm really in my feelings.
This is, she was really in her feelings about it.
Or I feel some type of way.
That's what people say now, instead of saying.
Well, those, those real housewives were talking like that.
And they're like, they got like 20 year old kids.
Well, because they're trying to be.
You know what I'm being right now?
I'm being the old guy in 60 minutes.
I just can't get my head around.
Why anybody.
I feel some type of way.
Instead of saying I'm up.
So no matter how great their lives are, they're always going to yell at each
other and pull each other's hair.
I'm doing that.
Yes, Bill.
That's what the fucking show is.
And you enjoy this.
Yes, Bill.
That's why I watch it.
All right.
