money on it, which wasn't even my goal I just

2:26

wanted to you know, bring the engineers back again Because

2:28

I really did just enjoy the concept and hanging out

2:30

with people and stuff like that and

2:33

unfortunately well, not unfortunately, but you know,

2:35

they were just trying to force basically the same type of

2:37

concept bounce all over the place and me

2:39

make me like Hosting it and it

2:41

just didn't sound intriguing to me. So we're trying to go

2:43

we're gonna go a little something different this year I'm excited

2:45

about it. But uh, this is about me

2:47

dude. Well, it kind of is it is this spot on

2:49

It's about it is a little bit of both about Andre.

2:51

It's getting to know Andre the main event We're jumping right

2:53

into the meat potatoes, dude, Andre Where

2:56

did you come from bro? And how did you get

2:58

into gaming and twitch? Oh, that's a

3:00

long one. I know we're here, dude Yeah, I know

3:02

I come from San Juan, Puerto Rico Proud

3:05

to be Puerto Rican born and raised there my

3:07

entire life and moved to us, you know for

3:09

college and stuff like that But been

3:12

around twitch and you know this story. I've never been

3:14

an I know the story I've never been a ninja

3:16

fan. I was always a Tim the Tap Man fan.

3:18

Oh Yeah,

3:20

that's fine. You know, it was my best friend. So

3:22

of course, I'm I'm Gassed

3:24

to hear that, you know, it's fine. Yeah,

3:26

I'm not upset Of course

3:28

played though, you know all the gears

3:31

of war with my was my favorite game growing up Love

3:34

that call of duty, of course, you know playing cops

3:36

and robbers with the friends all

3:38

yelling in Spanish My mom yelling at me like shut

3:40

the fuck up. I'm like no In

3:43

Spanish, she's on it. Yeah, dude. I Was

3:46

downstairs like in the little gaming room that we had

3:48

growing up me and my brothers say

3:50

I hate a Taylor growing up I know that was your

3:53

game, but I just got destroyed due to playing Halo every

3:55

single day with my brothers So I

3:57

thought yeah, and I just played cod And,

4:00

uh... You know, it's a lesser... it's

4:02

a lesser game. It's a lesser skilled game. It's okay,

4:04

bro. It is. Not everyone can be

4:07

gods at Halo. Yeah, and then, you know, found Justin

4:09

TV and all that MLG stuff through nature

4:11

and Optic. Of course, I was

4:13

a massive Optic fan back in the day, you know, playing COD. You

4:15

were either Optic or FaZe. Optic. Optic

4:17

rather died to this day. Oh,

4:20

key me too, still. Yeah, dude. Optic has

4:22

just always been better. Love Hex met him once,

4:24

I think, or twice. So it's just been

4:26

awesome to like, you know... I always saw myself,

4:28

like, 16-year-old, 12-year-old, like, whatever I was back then, like,

4:30

would pinch yourself with, like, knowing where you are today.

4:33

So it's just been awesome to, like... I love gaming,

4:35

you know, I love tennis as well. That's what I

4:37

did growing up my entire life. Got injured. Couldn't

4:40

play. What was your... what's

4:42

your tennis moon? What's your actual tennis moon? Oh,

4:44

fuck. You have to add one. I do, I

4:46

do, I do. Which one do you

4:48

want? Do you want, like, the serve one or the

4:50

forehand one? Give me the serve... or give me the serve

4:52

one, but what's your serve one? Just

4:56

do it, dude. Is

4:59

that actually just... Yeah, because you're

5:01

releasing air, so, like, you're, you know, you're, like... So

5:04

when you're serving the ball, you're throwing it up and you're

5:06

just kind of, like, holding all your breath in. And then

5:08

when you release is when you hit the ball and you're

5:10

just releasing all the air out of you. So

5:12

that's what comes with that noise. You're not making it out

5:14

of... I mean, some people drag it out and that's, you

5:16

know, that's a big concern in tennis, is people wanting to

5:19

drag this thing out and, you know,

5:21

try to put your opponent off with, like, Al

5:23

Kharaz. I don't think that's just a ton, but

5:25

he'll drag his... drag his a bit. And

5:28

then some people, like, Zareir Efron in this last match, will

5:30

get mad at him because you're like, dude, what the fuck

5:32

are you dragging your grunt out? Your

5:35

grunt out. That's such an interesting... Because

5:37

they get into people's head because, like, you know, when... When

5:40

I was little, it was known when I always grunted

5:42

on my forehand because I didn't always grunt, you know,

5:44

it was a big shot coming your way. And

5:47

it was probably one that you couldn't hit on the way you

5:49

return. So I only grunted, like,

5:51

once or twice, you know, in a match because

5:53

it was just, like, once

5:55

I needed a big point or a big win to

5:57

end a match or something like that, I would just fucking, you know...

6:00

Rip it interesting. Yeah, interesting

6:03

But some people just every return dude, they just fucking grow and

6:05

you're like shut the fuck up, dude Yeah,

6:07

there are some of the I do when we were

6:09

in Vegas in my room watching watching the that

6:12

that tennis tournament, bro It was there. One of

6:14

those matches was just unwatchable, bro Yeah, it was

6:16

every turn every serve every return every like every

6:18

single time they touched the tennis ball You did

6:20

say I love you, but I can't watch this

6:22

fucking shit and I was like, I can't I

6:25

can't I can't watch this one Right, like sometimes

6:27

it's like you said there's it's it's few and

6:29

far between but that one was just so egregious

6:31

It's all over the place couldn't handle it, which

6:34

is fine. It's whatever dude I've been you've got me

6:36

into tennis. So I have been enjoying watching a lot

6:38

of tennis lately Dude, it's awesome.

6:40

It's like my golf it is did. Yeah,

6:43

that's fair and I love golf too. So I'm

6:45

just loving everything, bro What was the first

6:47

time you heard of me aka ninja when

6:49

and when did you start watching? Tell

6:52

me it wasn't when you started getting paid. I started

6:55

Started learning of you cuz h1 cuz you were on the

6:57

leaderboard back in the day Yeah,

6:59

and I was a massive h1 fan, you know growing up.

7:01

I was top of the leaderboard bro is number one for

7:03

I don't know one Number

7:06

one, you know miss h1. That was

7:08

like my first BR experience

7:12

Was most people's yeah And

7:14

then pub G. I went to pub G, you know, I

7:16

grew up watching charade a lot just his

7:18

aim was nasty Yeah, always

7:21

heard your name like on the rumor mill, but honestly

7:23

never really watched you or never knew who you were

7:26

That's fair because by then I was

7:28

in college. So I was you know doing college

7:30

things I was drinking and having fun and doing this

7:32

whole stuff So I kind of

7:34

I've gone through phases of twitch where I fell

7:36

off it and like I came back to it

7:38

and then Sophomore year of college for tonight released

7:40

and that's when your name started popping up But

7:42

still to that day I was honestly watching Tim.

7:44

That's very good You know, of course

7:46

I watch your stream here and there like everybody watch the

7:49

Drake stream I think you know I mean, I remember me

7:51

and my buddies had it literally on the TV and we're

7:53

like what the fuck is up Like we skip class for

7:55

it. It was that big Amazing,

7:57

which is pretty funny looking back now like

7:59

at where I am because I

8:02

remember being like I'm gonna work for like the somewhat

8:04

one of these people you know that was

8:06

my goal at the end of college and now I am so

8:08

it's pretty funny like all my friends literally tell me all the

8:10

time but did you literally talk like I played you you don't

8:13

know this I played you in cod in

8:15

college and I shit on you when you were on mixer

8:17

and all my buddies had your stream pulled up

8:20

and I don't even remember playing Todd on mixer

8:22

I know and almost a dark time you

8:25

were you were like I was destroying you

8:28

the only game I could ever say that

8:30

and you like do this GPK kids fucking

8:32

insane like what the fuck he's just has

8:34

my number on everything I can't kill him

8:36

and you see a clip needed me to

8:38

see a clip of that I don't believe

8:41

it oh I'll tweet out the picture of

8:43

me and you in the lobby because I

8:45

still have it back in the day on

8:47

snapchat except was it war zone or just

8:49

like a cod lobby ah it wasn't war

8:51

zone it was a cod lobby it was

8:53

you see cods cods ass it was you

8:55

courage and basically I do work and someone

8:58

else we're playing search yes

9:00

we were playing search classic dude

9:03

you're probably sure you're stopping it's all good dude no

9:05

I wasn't cuz I couldn't make a mixer account true

9:08

one of many I like

9:10

one and I was like fuck many yeah

9:12

it's too difficult bro was there number one

9:14

on my opinion still number one if you

9:16

can't have people literally making accounts on your

9:18

website like you're not gonna do

9:20

well it's one of their huge one of their biggest flaws

9:23

but yeah then when I sort of watch like actually watching you was

9:25

when we you know when the agency

9:27

I was working for back then was like

9:29

we want to sign him and I was like I

9:31

don't love the guy to be quite honest but um

9:34

cuz I just never I never knew you I never

9:36

watched you so I don't know what I think about

9:38

the guy I was like he's always a slouch yep

9:40

big screamer but you know and

9:42

that was that was a dark time for

9:44

you dude cuz that was oh yeah I

9:47

was down bad among those times among

9:49

us mixer like yeah the among the streams are kind of

9:52

fun but yeah not good times not

9:54

a good mental space and then and I think

9:56

when we started was like

9:58

2020 after mixer like end of mixer and

10:00

then after mixer was like the

10:02

day we started was the day you started at Twitch.

10:06

Cause many people don't talk about

10:08

that. Cause like people are like, oh, you got paid up by

10:10

mixer, but people don't talk about that Twitch contract enough. Like

10:13

I was also a juicy Twitch contract. I know.

10:15

That was my first like look at influencer

10:17

money to be honest of like, holy shit, what the fuck?

10:20

Yeah. I actually, for you know, sometimes I forget

10:22

about that deal. I don't, I'll never forget that

10:25

deal. And

10:27

the, your last Adidas shoe was my

10:29

first ever post for you on social.

10:32

And I should, the last Adidas shoes were great

10:34

too, by the way, dude, banging. And so sad.

10:37

I mean now, you know, I got the shoes

10:39

that I wanted four years later cause I hit

10:41

up Adidas, but back then I was like,

10:43

fuck, I want them. But I'm like, you know,

10:45

I was off college. I was trying to pay some stuff

10:47

out. And I was like, I can't just ask for these

10:49

shoes when it's my first week with Adidas and Tyler. So

10:52

I was like, I'm just not going to ask and I'll just

10:54

get them at some point in my life. And now I do

10:56

have them as of yesterday. Um,

10:59

but the, good shit,

11:01

man. So I'm talking about dude. But yeah, that was

11:03

like, I remember dude posting that I was shaking cause

11:05

like, holy shit, I

11:07

was dead ass shaking in my room and

11:09

you've seen me. That's amazing. I have,

11:11

I have that fucking, Hey

11:14

dude, small humble beginnings, right? You got to

11:16

start somewhere. It was. And now I post

11:18

it. I'm like, fuck this. Yeah.

11:21

Yeah. That's real quick. How things change.

11:25

I see that. I'm like, Oh, cool. I got it.

11:27

Cool. Fucked up a copy. Oh well. It's

11:31

confidence for us confidence and like understanding

11:33

the space too, right? Like the more

11:35

you're, you're in it and just around

11:37

it, like, you know, me and just

11:40

Twitch and streaming and gaming and stuff like it just, you

11:42

know, you just get a pretty good

11:44

feel for obviously everything that I'm okay with

11:46

and everything that, you know, well, just what we're looking for,

11:48

et cetera. I don't know. I can, it's,

11:51

it's, it's, it's like, it's

11:53

like any job, right? You like, everyone's always so cautious

11:55

and nervous. Like when they, when they're at any position

11:57

and they don't want to piss people off. and they

11:59

don't want to step on stairs, but obviously as you,

12:01

the longer you're there, you start to learn how to

12:03

navigate the space more and you know, you just get

12:06

confident. So yeah, for sure.

12:09

Oh yeah, dude. Oh yeah. Uh,

12:11

what are your three favorite things you've

12:13

gotten to experience while working with

12:15

me and the Ninja team? Dude.

12:18

Also, I didn't have a sheet that I just didn't look at it. I was like,

12:20

I'm just not going to look at it because if not, I'm going to get everything

12:22

spoiled for the questions. Yeah.

12:25

That's what I do. I hate looking at, I hate knowing what people are

12:27

going to ask me. The camp sent it to me and I was like,

12:29

just send it. I've just like literally never looked at it. I was like,

12:31

send it like five minutes before we're going to hop on. Cause if not,

12:33

I'm going to stare at it for like three hours. Yep.

12:36

Yep. Um, top, top three favorite things you've

12:38

got to do or experience while working

12:40

with us. That's a tough one.

12:42

There's so many. I know dude.

12:45

Just definitely. Ramblin them. Definitely. Lions playoff

12:47

game was fucking awesome. Being able to

12:49

go down there, electric work with the

12:51

NFL. You know, we had a little

12:54

partnership with the NFL on YouTube. Not

12:57

case has been awesome to exercise more

12:59

of my marketing brain because

13:02

I'm, I'm doing a fair bit for my not

13:04

case as well. And for you just cause it

13:06

is the nature and I love it. So

13:09

being able to do that and just honestly, the third

13:12

one, which is kind of, cause it's the

13:14

thing many people in their life will

13:16

probably not get their experiences flying private and going

13:18

to that magic game. I think, you know, I

13:20

love sports and you talking about it

13:22

more, your brothers, like it's got to be

13:25

more into sports. I was never a huge basketball head,

13:27

but growing up, that's what all my friends watched.

13:29

So like I know basketball enough. So

13:32

dude, going to that, I mean,

13:34

going from Vegas, Orlando, yeah, flying

13:37

that terrible midnight flight at like

13:39

12 from Vegas, getting home. And

13:42

then the day after flying on a private jet to go to

13:44

a game, like it's, it's experiences that I'll

13:46

never forget and that many people will never get in their

13:48

life. So it's like pretty awesome to like be able to,

13:51

you know, be like, Oh, I did that. I've

13:53

also been trying to enjoy these things more because at

13:56

the end of the day, it is work for me. Like, and I know

13:58

you said that when we were there. You were like, by the way,

14:00

you're here as a friend, you're not here for work, but you know,

14:03

there's some part of me that will always be like, this is work

14:05

for me. So the first couple of years was hard. And I love

14:07

that too. And I love

14:09

that too. Like I do

14:11

mean that when I say that, but like, I think

14:14

like what I'm mainly trying to say is like,

14:16

like this is, yes, this is like, you know,

14:18

there will be moments for it to make connections

14:21

and things like that. But like the goal

14:23

here is to have fun, right? Like

14:26

I'm not expecting, you

14:28

know, I'm not expecting

14:30

anything essentially from it. And

14:32

I love that dude. I mean, dude, that magic game

14:34

was dude, it was so fucking fun. We had so

14:36

much fun. They made, made great connections and you know,

14:38

that's pretty cool people. And I

14:40

thought it was hilarious. I think I told the story. I thought it

14:42

was just so funny. That one guy was like, hey, remember, if

14:45

you're actually somebody, here's my card and

14:48

we'll do something. Yeah. If you're actually somebody, here's

14:50

my card and we'll actually talk. And I was,

14:52

I just looked at Tyler afterwards and I was

14:54

like, dude, there's no shot. He just said that.

14:56

And you're like, he did. Those

14:59

are the conversations you have with some people, man. Like

15:02

I've, it doesn't happen all the time, but like that

15:04

happens more often than you would think. And then his

15:06

buddy, like, would you like to meet the Miss Florida

15:08

or Miss Orlando? I was like, I was like, she's

15:10

like 15 years old. Like I'm good. Like I could,

15:13

I can introduce you. I'm like, I'm okay, dude. I

15:15

appreciate it, man. I'm good, bro. I'm married. Like it's

15:17

okay. I mean, literally like,

15:19

yeah, yeah. That's, that's, that's good. Couldn't be

15:21

as far off brand as possible to have

15:23

fucking me take a picture with a fucking,

15:26

you know, pageant winner. Yeah. And then behind

15:28

us was like one of the biggest Puerto

15:30

Rican artists in the world, not bad bunny,

15:32

who my dad's his doctor. So I was like, the entire

15:34

time I was like, dude, I have to say something. And

15:36

then he record, he like sort of recognized me. And I

15:38

AFK with Ninja. ♪ Oh,

21:28

moving on, dude. All right, before stepping into the

21:30

role of my day-to-day assistant, who was Andre and

21:32

what was he up to, dude? What were you

21:34

doing before you took on my account? You

21:37

were actually the first account, sorry, one of the

21:39

first accounts I took on. So, you

21:42

know, I came, you know, come from Puerto Rico.

21:44

So my study abroad, you know, a

21:46

lot of people pick Europe. I've always

21:48

loved LA. This is where I

21:50

live now for the meantime. So I

21:52

worked at an agency and actually, funny enough,

21:54

I worked for Peter, who is now Ty's

21:57

agent on the CA side. I

21:59

had no idea. Peter quit the week I

22:01

started, so we'd never really crossed paths. So

22:04

it's funny now. And we've thought we've talked about it and

22:06

laughed about it. But, you know, worked at it, worked at

22:08

an agency, worked for Jack to buy for a minute, not

22:11

that he knows who I am or me that. Yeah, good old

22:13

Jack, dude. Yeah. So I did all his,

22:16

you know, suit is 71 when when those

22:18

things were a thing. You know, when you had these

22:20

agencies that were like, oh, we can bring in

22:23

more revenue, which honestly, we can fucking scam. But

22:25

all these people. Yeah, I feel like, you know,

22:27

and I think honestly, like it can. They

22:30

can probably work in some situations, but

22:33

like almost never will they

22:35

make you the money that you are

22:38

paying them to make you. It is. It is. I

22:40

agree, man. I think grab grab a person who knows how

22:43

to do all that and just kind of pay

22:45

them. You know, I'm doing for you.

22:47

Yeah. But then, you know, worked on

22:49

some projects. The biggest thing I did there was launch.

22:52

I don't think it ever launched, actually. But, you

22:54

know, I ran a production for World Star, like

22:56

the Instagram account. And they want to launch his

22:58

game. Like this like this card game. I

23:01

honestly don't know whatever happened with it. But anyways, went

23:03

back to college, you know, finish college, just

23:05

kind of to be like to my parents like, hey, we

23:07

did this, like done with college type of thing. It

23:10

was fun. You know, I had as much fun

23:12

as I could in college. I was living in

23:14

fucking upstate New York. So like it's freezing my

23:17

ass off every day. So you

23:19

had college in New York, but you're living in LA. Yeah.

23:21

So I did I did eight months in LA for

23:24

for like my study abroad, quote

23:26

unquote. And then, you know, met

23:29

some incredible people out here. And then this

23:31

agency that I started working for, you know, I got connected

23:33

through them because I made such good connections at the well,

23:35

the one that they recommended me and they were looking for

23:38

a gaming person and they wouldn't tell me why they were

23:40

just like, oh, we're looking for a gaming social media coordinator.

23:42

I was like, fuck it, not apply. Got in. Lo

23:45

and behold, it was supposed to be the account for

23:47

YouTube gaming, which they

23:50

ended up hiring two gamers for that, which was

23:52

myself and one of my best friends now, Sebastian,

23:54

who ran YouTube gaming for the for the better

23:56

part of three years. And then

23:58

they were like, oh, we're trying to sign Ninja and I'll. I

24:00

was like, huh, that's funny. Like, you know, who just

24:02

goes around and goes, hey, you want to start Ninja?

24:04

And you're like, that's cool. And then it

24:06

was real. You know, we did the whole

24:08

pitch. I remember I wasn't

24:10

able to talk in it because I was such a at

24:13

a low level. They were like, hey, I do all this work,

24:15

but like you can't say a word. And

24:17

I was like, well, that's fucking fun. Well,

24:19

you all probably would have shit your pants if

24:22

you actually were speaking. Oh, I would have. Yeah.

24:24

If they gave you a moment to like pitch

24:26

a slide or two. Oh, I was already. And

24:28

I wasn't even talking. Anyways, we

24:30

went the business, you know, I started working for you.

24:33

I started I had four or five other people under

24:35

me. I was working in comedy. I watched Matthew McConaughey's

24:37

YouTube channel. So, you know,

24:39

all right. All right. All right. So

24:41

I've got a couple of things under my belt there and

24:44

then just became really comfortable for the first couple of months.

24:46

We didn't talk. You didn't know who I was. And then

24:48

I don't know what your side of it is,

24:50

but I don't know if you remember when we got connected, but

24:52

it was, you know, I told you this in private literally two

24:54

weeks ago, but it was funny because people were

24:56

like, oh, Tyler's not texting the group chat. He's not only texting

24:58

you. Like this is what we were afraid of. And

25:01

I was like, I can't force this man to just text

25:03

the group chat. If he just wants to text me, you

25:05

guys will find out what you need to know. Like don't

25:07

worry about the rest. That's actually so

25:09

interesting. So they probably they were honestly

25:11

probably worried about like literally what happened,

25:13

right? Which is me just like leaving

25:16

them and working with

25:18

you. Yeah, they were,

25:20

which is which is crazy. I think, dude, I

25:23

think businesses always know, right? Like what's at stake

25:25

of like losing, right? Well, they could

25:27

pay you less, much less and,

25:29

you know, still get our revenue. I mean, yeah, it

25:31

makes sense. I mean, the team started. I don't know

25:33

if you remember the team. Like I remember when this

25:35

shit started, it was I can name off

25:37

names, but it was the better part of 10 people on a team.

25:40

And it was all the way from like social media strategists

25:42

to editors to like posting to like this

25:45

and that and strategy and all that. At

25:47

the end of the day, like you guys paid, you know,

25:50

a fair, good amount of money. And you only

25:52

really used me and the editors, which then you

25:54

got your own editors, which is makes it easier

25:56

for me. So then it was just like, why

25:59

are we paying this certain amount? to just have Andre

26:01

run shit and then you didn't have 100%

26:04

of my time so I couldn't dedicate a ton of my time

26:06

to you because You know you're stuck to

26:08

this like oh, well he only pays for 20 of your

26:10

hours So you can only work three hours a week. I

26:12

remember I was still working for you

26:14

OG for night I took a sick day that day because

26:16

I was like I can I have to focus on this

26:18

and my team wouldn't let me Which I get

26:20

it, you know, I have other clients to work for they're paying my

26:22

bills But I was like, yeah, fuck it. I've so I texted you

26:24

and I was like, I'm gonna take a sick day today Fuck it

26:27

and I just I remember like OG was the

26:29

biggest thing that's happened and oh dude that day

26:31

I was the most yeah, it was the most

26:33

electric thing that's happened a fortnight since you know

26:35

since literally OG for night So I was

26:38

like, I need to be there. I need to be posting I

26:40

need to be like beyond and and you know I team didn't

26:42

understand that so then that also put like a a little

26:44

bit of a friction between me and my team because

26:46

at That point, you know they can't let in other

26:49

people had left the company and done what I wanted

26:51

to do You know some some folks just took you

26:53

know their favorite people with them And

26:55

I was like, that's a business is all about man

26:57

Like eventually right because you try to find good people

26:59

that you like to work with and just kind of

27:01

bring them around with you But

27:03

I don't know what your first interaction with me was that you were like,

27:05

oh this kid knows this shit I

27:07

think you do that. I think what I literally think

27:09

I remember you had there was one moment where you

27:11

pitched like Or you were just in

27:13

there and I don't know if they gave you permission to speak

27:16

or whatever But like honestly a lot of time they did it

27:18

and I just spoke Yeah I mean you

27:20

were you were doing like I think you were going over like

27:22

the tweets Like Vic would like pass

27:24

off like the tweet like the daily tweets like the

27:26

weekly tweets Oh, yeah, and I remember and then you

27:28

would start reading those off and then sometimes I was

27:31

like now this is I asked Now this is ass

27:33

and you're like, yeah, I know. Yeah, I know. Yeah,

27:35

this is bad, right? Like or you know and and

27:37

then like that was when and then slowly on

27:39

those calls I just started learning that you understood

27:41

like just the space and the lingo and gaming

27:43

and streaming and like and that's what that's what?

27:46

Drew me to actually start, you know interacting with

27:48

you more and just text me because I knew

27:50

that you fucking got it And I knew that

27:52

like everyone else that I was talking to really

27:54

didn't so yeah A lot of it was also

27:56

like I was being pushed, you know with you

27:59

know, if anybody those people They were listening like,

28:01

thank you. You guided me to where I am

28:03

today. But you guys are paying for a certain

28:05

amount of tweets a week and stuff like that.

28:07

So we were forced, I was forced to do

28:09

seven posts a week. And I'm like, I can't

28:12

do seven posts. It doesn't make sense. He's

28:14

barely active. What the fuck do you want me to do? So

28:17

a lot of the times. And the time that I

28:19

was, yeah, at that time, I wasn't even doing anything.

28:21

Dude, a lot of times, a lot of those tweets,

28:23

I remember telling you, yo, just approve it. Because I'm

28:25

not going to tweet it anyways. Because

28:27

I was like, oops, forgot. Can't do that. So

28:31

a lot of times, it was just me doing fillers and

28:33

stuff like that. They wanted me to plan the next week

28:35

of content. And I'm like, I can't do that. I'm

28:37

just watching streams. Something funny happens. I'm clipping it, posting

28:39

it, calling it a day. I'm texting you, like, is

28:42

this good? Is this a good enough caption? Yes,

28:44

yes, cool. Post it, done. It's so

28:46

much better than that. And that's how it is. And that's

28:49

how it should be. It is difficult to. It

28:52

almost takes the fun out of shit, too, to sit

28:54

there and plan, oh, I'm going to make this video.

28:56

I'm going to make this clip. And it's, yeah, I

28:58

mean, especially when I also don't have, I never planned

29:00

my fucking streams. Like, I have the least planned streams

29:02

probably out of any streamer out there. Dude,

29:04

every Wednesday was dreadful. I had to send

29:06

the calendars by Thursday. Every

29:09

single Wednesday, I was up with my coordinator, fucking

29:11

like at 2 in the morning, not literally, but

29:13

like, you know, sick of 7 PM on a

29:15

normal job. Just being like, dude, we

29:17

need one more fucking tweet. And I can't think of shit. There's

29:20

nothing happening this week in the gaming world. And

29:22

I literally, that's when that tweet that you

29:24

loved one time if I've

29:27

taken a picture with you, reply to this with

29:29

that picture. And you caught that

29:31

too. I mean, there's things that pop into my head that I'm like, how

29:33

the fuck do I remember that? But you were like,

29:35

dude, I caught that tweet when you tweeted it and it was

29:37

tanking. And then it was one of your biggest tweets like of that

29:39

month. And I was like, that's pretty funny. Yeah,

29:42

yeah, I know. Yeah, the first like hour or

29:44

two, it was terrible. You

29:46

almost deleted it. You were like, can I delete it?

29:48

So I was like, no, dude. I don't remember why. Like what people were

29:50

being like rude, right? Or like. Yeah, it was

29:52

a lot of people. Like, do you think people know you little

29:55

bro or something like that? Oh yeah, I was getting trolled. And

29:57

then eventually, and then it finally made its way around and people

29:59

actually saw it. I started posting pictures. I wanna do that one

30:01

again. It's been like two years since I've done it. Oh,

30:04

hopefully the same thing doesn't happen. No one gives a shit

30:06

though, bro. Kidding. I'll tweet

30:08

that out. All right, dude. So with Jess

30:10

transitioning out of her role as operations manager,

30:13

what was the process for Andre to step

30:15

into those big shoes, dude? Easy

30:17

as fuck, because Jess had a plan and she told me

30:20

we're enough to fuck up and what to do. And honestly,

30:23

the easiest thing ever. She had, it helped that

30:25

I already knew the team around me. So I

30:27

already knew the agents, I already knew the lawyers.

30:30

I already knew the business team. So I was comfortable with

30:32

95% of them. It's just

30:34

getting closer to them and understanding

30:36

what Jess did into a bigger scale.

30:39

I still text her and go like, hey, what do you think of this? Like, what do

30:41

you think of that? When I'm not sure

30:43

of things, but honestly, for the most part, she's

30:45

pretty hands off on business day to day. Yeah,

30:48

and she loves that. She's really focusing on

30:50

like the finance side of things on the

30:52

back end with our finance team. But yeah,

30:54

she's very happy to no longer be in

30:57

that role. And

30:59

just kind of take a step back and enjoy

31:01

some of the finer things now.

31:04

So- Yeah, I mean, it was

31:06

easy that I knew you and I was doing your socials

31:08

for the better part of three years

31:10

before you guys came to me with that offer. Also

31:12

that offer came and I was still at the agency

31:14

being your assistant. I was doing a double job essentially

31:17

for the better part of like a year. Because

31:20

my agency was like, oh, you still need more clients. And I was

31:22

like, bitch, I'm running fucking six people. What do you think? Like, what

31:24

else do you want me to do? Oh

31:26

man. But yeah, it helped a ton. If

31:28

you would have told me like, like here you

31:30

go, a lot more

31:32

difficult. We wouldn't be where we are today, but

31:35

it helped that I already knew you and we

31:37

already had a relationship going. So it's pretty easy

31:39

to just be like, fucker. Literally,

31:41

that leads us perfectly to our next question. It

31:43

says, describe Andre in three words. What's

31:46

the real deal behind the scenes? All right,

31:48

really fucking ass. All right, there we go.

31:50

Nice. Next question. Andre

31:54

in three words. Don't say

31:56

short bitch. I

31:58

was going to say that was. I was gonna say

32:00

short and then I was gonna say spicy. And you

32:02

just literally gave me both of them right there. You

32:06

got one more. Intelligent.

32:11

Short, clever and intelligent. Short, spicy and intelligent.

32:13

I'll take that. That was just solid,

32:15

man. You're like.

32:17

Got Latino in me. Absolutely. Oh, for

32:20

sure, dude. That's the spiciness. That's where it

32:22

comes from. From handling schedules to

32:24

keeping things running smoothly. How has Andre been in?

32:26

This is Mike. This is a me

32:28

question. How has Andre been an

32:30

invaluable asset to Team NINYA? Yeah, I

32:32

mean, listen, if I, I mean,

32:36

is there someone else out there that could have done what

32:38

Andre is doing? Like, I'm sure, but it would have been,

32:41

it would have been just, it

32:43

just would have been so difficult to find that

32:45

person. And like trust is everything to Jess and

32:47

I. And giving somebody like

32:50

an opportunity to basically do what

32:52

Andre is doing and was doing,

32:55

like was not something that we were interested in. So

32:57

just, you know, just

32:59

a blessing in disguise, really, when we

33:02

started to work with Andre's original team

33:04

that he was under and to where we are now,

33:07

because I mean, yeah, no, I wouldn't,

33:09

if like, Andre is basically filling the role of

33:11

Jess, if I didn't have either of them, I

33:13

would be fucking lost. I wouldn't be doing anything.

33:15

Like there would be pretty much no social media

33:18

content being posted, no TikToks, no Instagrams anymore, or

33:20

anything like that. And obviously I wouldn't know the

33:22

difference between my asshole and

33:24

a hole in the ground. When it

33:27

comes to fucking work and travel and all

33:29

that stuff, it's

33:33

having an assistant, like Andre is very, it's

33:35

very important when you have a very

33:37

busy schedule. So enough

33:40

glazing. Yeah, I mean, it was pretty easy.

33:42

Cause like also Jess was like, hey, we made

33:44

this role for you. Do you want it?

33:46

And I was like, yep. And she was like, cool. Like

33:48

that's, I don't remember. She's like, should

33:50

we, she comes to me, she came to me cause she

33:52

was looking obviously get out. And I was like, I was

33:55

like, honey, let's just have Andre do it. You know, it

33:57

took a minute for like, of like convincing and stuff.

34:00

And I was just like, this is an absolute no brainer.

34:02

I mean, yeah, because we also had, you know, I was

34:04

through the agency, so it was like sketch like murky waters

34:07

on how you approach that. Right. Absolutely.

34:09

At the start, because we were still, you know,

34:11

an agency that wasn't bought out. If

34:14

you could give Andre one piece of

34:16

constructive feedback to level up his ninja

34:19

skills, what would it be? Hmm.

34:23

If I could give Andre

34:25

some constructive feedback, it

34:28

would be it would have nothing to do with

34:30

what he does outside of outside of my stream.

34:32

I think that the planning, traveling, making

34:35

sure everything's taken care of, networking, talking, all that shit

34:37

is on lock. It's pretty on fleek. I wouldn't really

34:39

change any of that. It would be

34:41

what he does when he is controlling the stuff

34:43

that pops up on my stream. Pretty funny. I

34:46

think it most for the most of the time is great. I think that

34:48

he could I think that he could either

34:50

be more aware or learn better,

34:56

learn to be able

34:58

to tell when I'm actually triggered and when

35:00

not to fuck with me. But

35:02

that's the best part, because that's when you really

35:04

get mad. And then that's when you know, it's

35:07

there's dude, there's a difference for like, when there

35:09

is a difference, there's there's me being like triggered. And

35:12

then like in a funny

35:14

way, like sometimes I'm like yelling and it's

35:17

in a funny way. Yeah. But like when

35:19

I'm being trolled by like just, you know,

35:21

stream snipers or, you know, yeah,

35:24

that's when you fucking go hard and I get triggered. And I'm

35:26

like, bro, oh, my God, like

35:28

I'm already I'm already actually triggered a little bit.

35:30

And then now you're like fucking putting Ellen's face

35:33

over mine. And

35:36

I'm already like I'm already like slowly tilting off

35:38

the face of the planet. That's that's what it

35:41

sometimes I'm just like, oh, my God, I'm actually kind of

35:43

getting annoyed. But it doesn't

35:45

happen often. So, you know,

35:48

and then the chat does love it. So who might have?

35:50

Yeah. I mean, I think at the start, it started off

35:52

because I was really excited to like do shit. And then

35:54

now it's for sure. I stapled off, you know, it's like

35:56

everything. I agree. I love I

35:58

love the amount that you're doing.

36:00

And I think that the chat

36:02

also will respect and love. It's like

36:04

one of those things like when I'm AFK, put something

36:06

up, right? Like I love, that's actually one of my

36:08

favorite things that you do. Same thing with

36:10

Wips. about Tim's stream too.

36:13

There's so many times I'm watching Tim's stream

36:15

and Tim gets up to go do something

36:17

all the time. And I

36:19

will like, you know, a lot of the times in other

36:21

streams, like I'll leave, you know what I mean? Like, but

36:24

like Tim gets up and

36:26

instantly starts putting those cats in and playing some music.

36:28

And now I'm like, all right, I can leave

36:30

this on in the background until Tim gets back. Yeah.

36:33

So. That's what I've been learning too, is like finding that middle ground

36:35

of, you know, it was fun at first and like kind of overdid

36:37

it, but now it's like keeping chat

36:39

like one in line because you don't

36:41

want them to expect something every 20 seconds. Yes.

36:45

And also finding that balance of when to troll and

36:47

when to, you know, promote stuff like Nutcase or promote,

36:49

you know, a sponsor. I think you're

36:51

doing a great job of that. Like the Nutcase stuff

36:53

you're helping me, like you already know, I have a

36:55

very, with ongoing partnerships,

36:57

not just like a specific sponsored stream. Obviously

37:00

I'm incredible at sponsored streams when, you know,

37:02

give me an hour or two hours. Yeah.

37:04

You got to tell that guy to stop

37:06

backing up. Bro, holy shit. I

37:09

know. No, but like I'm very good at, you

37:11

know, hour long, two hour long, like streams where I'm

37:13

just promoting a product, but like, you know, ongoing partnerships,

37:16

sometimes I just kind of get in my own fucking

37:18

zone when I'm streaming and it's always nice to like,

37:20

I look over at my right, I'm like peripheral, I

37:22

see a fucking, you know, a Nutcase product

37:25

pop up, right? You put, you know, an image and then it's just

37:27

like, you know, oh yeah, let me just plug this real quick. Been

37:30

living here for six months. Didn't know Tuesday was trash day,

37:32

but apparently it is. Dude, check

37:34

out the more, you know, trash

37:37

city bro. Every day is trash day for us. It's

37:39

awesome. We just get to leave it out. Really? Yeah,

37:41

yeah, yeah. Every morning. That's crazy. They

37:43

come by twice. It's really awesome. It's really cool. Okay,

37:46

dude, where does Andre envision taking the

37:48

Ninja brand in the future and what

37:50

role does he see himself playing in

37:52

that journey? Ooh. Any ideas? I do.

37:55

I kind of know what we're doing. Yeah, I do have a ton. I

37:59

mean, I'll just say stay safe. tuned I think you know with

38:01

this podcast there's a lot of stuff brewing in the

38:03

background you know I'll just keep

38:05

growing keep learning keep fucking up I think that's

38:07

the best way to to grow

38:10

it's just if I'm not making mistakes every couple months

38:12

or like being a nuisance then I'm not doing something

38:14

right continue to push the boundary as much as we

38:16

can on this side and you

38:19

know continue watching people that are in the streaming

38:21

world maybe finding new people to sign

38:23

for the Team Ninja brand like who knows so like

38:26

if you're a streamer that

38:28

might be a cool plug you know we'll

38:30

see yeah I love I love what

38:32

we're doing with I love

38:34

that you know I feel like right now it's

38:37

not case like I think like I think that

38:39

if you know if it's what's actually in front

38:41

of us and changing it's

38:43

it's it's definitely like starting this company with

38:45

Joel and you know and obviously you two

38:47

and and being a part of this and

38:49

like growing this while we're growing like

38:51

the stream and the Ninja brand like it's

38:54

gotten us into the poker world it's gotten us into the

38:56

golf world now like we're you know we're

38:59

we're getting out there more and like you know

39:01

it's the goal is always to if you're trying

39:03

to grow a brand it's always taking out get

39:05

as much exposure as possible and try to you

39:08

know make as many networking connections as possible and

39:10

shake hands and stuff and like yeah this is

39:12

you know nutcase has gotten us out and there's

39:14

so many different so many different groups

39:16

of people that we never would have you know

39:18

been in a room with and had conversations with

39:20

yeah did the entire target was people being like

39:22

hey my kids love you like you know I think

39:24

people forget that how big of a

39:27

household name you are so I think also sometimes you

39:29

forget that I do I definitely always yes Chad he's

39:31

not pulling you know 90 a hundred

39:33

thousand which like you know some other

39:35

people are but they're in a different space

39:37

like space right now like Kai's viewership is

39:39

in a different space yeah like Kai's viewership

39:41

yesterday wasn't saying yesterday but like he

39:43

also had three fucking celebrities in there you know like

39:46

and love what he's doing absolutely

39:50

there with whips just fucking dying laughing the entire

39:52

night oh it's hilarious yes I've

39:54

already seen I've seen some clips already when I'm actually

39:57

fucking comedy but you know at the end of the

39:59

day like the ninja name is a household name.

40:01

That's why your grandma knows streaming. And that's what I

40:03

always say to people who don't know who he is or

40:06

like, who are like, who is he? And I'm like, that's your grandma

40:08

and Terraninja here for tonight. It's probably them.

40:11

Appreciate it, man. Yeah, I know. Definitely.

40:13

The streaming, the streaming world has just,

40:15

it's just grown and it's just its own. It's just,

40:17

it's not, it's honest. It's growing away from gaming. It

40:19

is. And I've talked about this. I've talked about this

40:21

several times. It's, it's,

40:23

it's, it's started with IRL streaming back in

40:25

Justin TV, like 13 years ago, 14 years

40:27

ago. And then

40:29

it manifested over into Twitch.tv. They literally moved

40:32

away from Justin TV, focused only on gaming

40:34

and gaming blew up. Gaming was everything. And

40:36

now it's, it's over the last, like two,

40:39

three years, four years, it's, it's gone back

40:41

to IRL streaming and like, and you

40:43

know, reality show ask type content, right? I mean,

40:45

yeah, I think about it like YouTube back in

40:47

the day when, at least when I was growing

40:49

up, you know, like YouTube, all the

40:51

content that we, that I was consuming was, you

40:54

know, that real life, you know, Roman Atwood's type of

40:56

style of content where it was just, you

40:58

know, real life and, and you get the prank stuff and

41:00

you get all that, you know, Twitch turned to

41:03

gaming and I think it's also going back, like I

41:05

think it's always a pendulum of where it is,

41:07

like in that state of that current moment of where

41:09

we are as a country and a world. But

41:12

Twitch at the end of the day, it'll always be gaming.

41:14

Like it's, I mean, it'll

41:16

always have gaming, gaming will never, gaming will

41:18

never go away. And I think

41:20

that a lot of people, you know, probably

41:22

don't know that, but you know,

41:24

I, yeah. Yeah.

44:00

help me digest what the

44:02

road was gonna look like. And honestly, just

44:04

in general, it just ended up being so perfect,

44:07

like this partnership with Joelle in

44:09

that case. Yeah, it's been

44:11

awesome. I mean, I've also learned to challenge myself with that

44:13

too, of like, because I know

44:16

what you require and what you need.

44:18

Like, you know, a lot of people come to me and

44:20

like, well, like, you

44:22

know, fucking, oh, can I talk to him for 20 minutes? I'm like,

44:24

fuck no, I'll start there. Second

44:27

of all, what do you need? And

44:29

a lot of it will just be like a lot of mumbling and, well,

44:31

not mumbling, but a lot of like yapping and like, just give

44:33

me the details. Like, you know, if you- Everyone yaps.

44:35

There's dude, I haven't met a single person on this

44:37

planet. I mean, the goal of every single conversation with

44:39

me, if they don't know me, is to sell me

44:41

on something, right? And in order to do that, like

44:44

it's not gonna be a five second pitch. It's gonna,

44:46

they're gonna try to, you know, they're gonna try to

44:48

create some banter at the start. Hey, oh my gosh,

44:50

this, this, that, this, this, that, hey, let's get into

44:52

it. And then, you know, then they walk me through

44:55

a 20 page deck or something and it's like, you

44:58

know, it's so nice to just, yes, have you be

45:00

able to be like, yeah, you're not gonna like this

45:02

or like, Literally. Or, or, or break

45:04

it down for like a tense, literally a 30 second

45:07

pitch. And I'm like, oh my God,

45:09

yeah, this sounds awesome. Like, let's do it. Or like,

45:11

yeah, like get me on a call. And then, and

45:13

then like, we actually had like a meaningful call and

45:15

it goes somewhere rather than, you know, me just being

45:17

bored out of my mind for 30 minutes, sometimes longer.

45:20

Which is not what I have to deal with, which is fine.

45:22

I love sometimes- Hey, you get paid to, man. Yeah, I do.

45:25

But yeah, now I take all those intakes and

45:28

just fucking deal with the business email and just,

45:30

you know, people will just come in

45:32

and be like, do you think you like this? And I'm like, no,

45:34

but let me just get a temp check. And it's honestly like, I've

45:38

had multiple clients across the board and

45:40

Ty's the one to reply the quickest on

45:42

things, if he likes stuff. So I

45:44

like, and I already know him off the bat. Yeah,

45:47

so like, I already know like off the bat, sometimes I'm like,

45:49

he's gonna hate this, but I'll send it anyways. And I'm like,

45:51

told him. And I was like pitching,

45:53

I'll be like, you're gonna hate this, but I'd just have

45:55

to tell you this. Cause like, it's a pretty big deal.

45:58

It's pretty fucking easy. Yeah

46:01

Yeah, dude, we're we're fucking killing

46:04

it man And this nutcases not cases just blowing

46:06

up way bigger than I ever than I ever

46:08

thought it would this early And I

46:10

just I love this just this momentum that we have And

46:13

the dynamic that we have with Joel right now and

46:16

in that case it's going great. So yeah,

46:18

it's awesome I mean, I'm again challenging myself a ton

46:20

with it because why not? And

46:23

I have a marketing brain at the end of the day. So that's

46:25

what I studied. That's what I went school for That's what

46:27

I did for three years before working for you directly No,

46:31

I'm still it's fun to exercise that part of my

46:33

brain and just you know, come up with

46:35

cool ideas Sometimes you love him. Sometimes you hate him, but you

46:38
