Speaking of watches, I got the same white yellow Richard Millie as Jake Paul.

I don't know what a Richard Millie is. Let's see. Okay, my internet is slow today. That is a Richard Millie. That's cool. I'm not really much of a watch guy, to be honest. I don't know how much this is—350,000? Yeah, that's a lot of money, man. You're pretty loaded, Sharky. And dude, every time I see you, you've got a new profile picture, bro. You're probably loaded, man. Oh, hell yeah, let's go. Dude, did you not have this up on your channel the last time I checked around here? That's legendary. Yeah. So, I don't know Shark Sway in person, but like this guy's man—I mean, that's some energy for sure. I like it. Okay.

Tai Lopez doesn't have the best reputation — while going on his podcast would be great exposure, isn't the reason people in your community love you your authenticity? Wouldn't appearing with him undercut that? What business does he have selling automation info products when it's mostly surface-level stuff you already give away for free?

For context: Tai Lopez and his team reached out to me multiple times inviting me onto his podcast. I found some value in his early social media marketing agency courses back when I was just starting out, so I was weighing whether to do it — but I noticed his views-per-episode seemed low for a channel with 3 million subscribers, which gave me pause. I haven't actually talked to him myself, so I'm going only off secondhand impressions, and I don't want to judge him too harshly on that basis — whatever you think of his products, the guy ran one of the most viral marketing campaigns ever and is clearly a sharp businessperson. Really I was just weighing it from an ROI angle: is it worth flying out to his studio (I think Florida) for the exposure? That's genuinely what I was thinking through out loud, and Brendan's comment was giving me his take on it.

Do you think this type of video reduces future viewership, and should you prioritize quality over quantity?

Thank you, my okay man. Yeah, listen—at the end of the day I have to take advice from people who are more successful than I am in these fields. There’s value in hearing from those with fewer subscribers; they can point out blind spots, though I don’t see that as a blind spot myself. I feel you’re missing the point of this channel: it’s for me to wave a giant light pole around while answering questions. Maybe you’re from my main channel and thought this was a main‑channel video; I should clarify this is a daily update channel. Maybe there’s a silver lining, but yeah, your opinion is okay.

Are you concerned the channel will become unsustainable as it grows?

Are you kidding me? This is never going to be unsustainable. The only downside I see is possibly missing a few golden nuggets if I don’t watch these videos, which means less time actually doing. Trying to quit gambling, but you’re the flashiest slot machine I’ve ever seen—that’s pretty funny. Thank you. Can you start making the quality worse? No, the quality is only going to get better, as you can see with my lightsaber. I’ll keep improving every day. By the way, if anyone here is into video, I don’t even know where to put this; my friend told me to buy one, saying everybody’s using light poles nowadays and you need one. Yeah, feedback is very much appreciated.

Is staring at the camera for YouTube over 40 too intense?

He agrees it's too intense, noting there's not much they can do because the model doesn't allow cutting out segments where the speaker isn't looking, which would change eye appearance. He then shifts to commenting on building a YouTube Facebook integration, calling it useless and saying they could vibe code it in half a day, mentions distribution and Wingo getting paid, expresses appreciation for the comments, asks if viewers have recreated the instant feature themselves, says he hasn't, and finds it interesting that he hadn't thought about it before.
