 What's going on guys? We've got a big announcement here on this channel. We're gonna be launching the 5050 show soon We are gonna be talking about current events Asian culture sneakers basketball all the things that you guys love from our channel Except just in a different format, but first Here's a podcast about us basically today. We don't have a topic bass list Uh-oh, or maybe we do but the topic is Is the fong bros perspective? Oh, and we got a list about it We have some explaining to do I think some people are kind of confused about our background where our perspective comes from how we're able to make so Many different videos ten things you need to know about the fong bros that inform our perspective These things will help you understand where we're coming from it may not explain everything But we're gonna try because we've been saying a lot of a lot lately Particularly obviously on Asian issues a lot of a lot. Whoo Okay, David start with number one and we grew up in a very educated family But we weren't spoiled nor would I say that we grew up with a lot of money And we were definitely raised in a more blue-collar town. Basically our family both our parents had graduate degrees Yeah, that a PhD our mom had a JD educated in America through it But we were raised in a town that was more blue-collar in terms of I guess like socioeconomic level or educational level So basically your family stands out sort of like a sore thumb Even though you think Yeah, it's like your family's just misaligned with the city that you grow up in our neighborhood a lot of people in our neighborhood growing up Probably their parents didn't even go to college and I would say even whether they were white black or Asian Actually, it just wasn't the most educated area. I mean, there's nothing wrong with that It's just everybody was hard-working basically We grew up with this nerdy academic Chinese family in sort of like a jock Urban-ish part of town now, I wouldn't say that it was hood, but there was definitely some hood elements No, that's how I would left the hood who moved again, and they kind of brought the hood with them There were some hood stuff that happened. I'll tell you this there are Very particular Apartment complexes that where there's graffiti and everything like that. It feels like the usually educated parents like this would not raise Their kids in a place that end up having you know, some obviously some drug addiction Drug violence all this stuff, you know a lot of like professional sports players come out of here So I think it's just like like you said Our family background just did not align with the environment and that causes for a lot of perspective And actually makes you kind of funny. Yeah, it actually makes you funny because I'll tell you why everything your parents teach You at home does not necessarily vibe with what other kids parents teach you other kids values And even sometimes the teachers at your own school are so like blue-collar centric They can't even help you dream of like whatever your coach to think of it at home Well, you know when our family's expectations, which you know coming forward we come from I feel like we're a little bit maybe you know Overestimated but their expectations were that we kind of go to like really good schools or Ivy League schools But nobody from our area goes to Ivy League schools like it's just hard You know like the even the Toria yeah, yeah, even the valedictorians or the high school Counselors, they don't even understand how to get there So they're just like hoping you get to community college or like the state school Anyways, there's nothing wrong with that. I'm just saying like that was kind of the misalignment that we're having when you kind of grow up in Very blue-collar and some people are even more like maybe lower middle class and stuff like that You you want to be down with the flow because the flow is the flow Like if you're in a certain type of high school that you don't align with you Don't get to come in and be like everybody adapts to you you have to adapt to the current flow I'm gonna change the rules and bring my values to this school. You guys do not value academics enough Well, let me tell you shut up our sister ended up going to Stanford and she really didn't fit in with the vibe in Kent right so she kind of more Did her own thing kept herself obviously, you know, if she had really adapted to the Kent culture probably she honestly she probably wouldn't went to Stanford But for me and you we more tried to adapt and we tried to get in with it And that was a great segue to point number two is pretty much even though we grew up around mostly non-Asians We didn't play the cut. We were very involved. We were out there We were trying to get with the flow and be popular kids of the flow. We're involved in varsity sports a lot of clubs I think well-known but maybe not like Beloved but definitely well-known kids. First of all, there's different schools within a school district It's like slightly different dynamics, by the way, there's schools with more Asians or schools with less Asians We went to a school that particularly had very little Asians and of the Asians that were there Practically know like I guess East Asians. It was mostly like Chinese and Vietnamese and like Filipinos There wasn't that many Chinese people at least when I was no, no, there wasn't there wasn't my year a little bit more Just not that many though in my graduating class of 450 people. There was seven Chinese people And maybe 10 East Asians so yeah out of 450 not a lot That's crazy. We wouldn't grow up around our own kind of running start Yeah, we all we all went to college in high school Basically, it's like we didn't grow up around our own kind or people from an even similar socioeconomic level And we were really trying to be cool at school So we were trying to kind of in a way appeal to all these people who were unlike us not that that was the only thing I mean, I think we thought all that stuff was cool too, you know dressing cool playing ball everything But definitely there was kind of like y'all I'm trying to be cool. Well, you we tried hard to fit it Yeah, without you I think some people would go well That was very foolish of you to try to fit in when you were from this type of family to try to fit into That flow that was very foolish and maybe there's something that people still think we're foolish at the end of the day Things don't make or break you that young, but they definitely affect they have an impact Like some people go to schools where everybody's family is like their family Yeah, and then some people go to schools where it's half-half and some people go to schools like us We're almost nobody at the school Has a similar background even the other Asians didn't necessarily come from a similar background We had we were managed to make some pretty good Asian friends But their family backgrounds were yeah to wrap this point up is I think being in an environment was often times more like a battleground than a Playground growing up where we weren't just around our own kind We weren't super super comfortable and we were out there trying to make it happen trying to adapt to the environment Whether or not we should have but we tried and that's what we did and like we said Everybody has different reactions to it when they don't align with like an immediate environment I do think it made us stronger though overall like for sure for sure and inform our perspective too because a lot of people They go through that process once they hit like 1820 maybe 23 when they're entering their corporate profession. We're going through that at 12 13 this dude from what I hear a lot of the SoCal Asians that grow up in Asian areas out here They they learn that when they go to like go to school in Boston or something then they get You know hit with the American break like hey, man. This is what it's really like Anyways point number three Seattle is one of the most if not the most Educated cities in America, but it's a small place just to give you an example growing up in Seattle We had the Sonics. We had the Mariners We had the Seahawks, but really the big celeb at that time that everybody knew the name of was Bill Gates Yeah, and that's like almost even amongst The non-academically focused people Bill Gates was still the name because he was the richest man in the world I'll say this like obviously because we had this very academic-centric family We did have access to the Seattle infrastructure. So on weekends, we get taken to the Science Center We get taken to the Asian Art Museum all these different exhibits, you know variety of Theater shows that were available because you're still close enough to Seattle You can just drive in for a show. Yeah, you don't necessarily driving in when you're young to go hang out Because it's not like we went to church in Seattle or anything like that, but I'm saying that There it was really a weird Push and pull because your local environment is like everybody's trying to play for the Seahawks or the Sonics growing up mm-hmm and Then on the weekends, you're gonna go see like a talk by like a professor Yeah, you're gonna see the new you're gonna see the new exhibit at the Science Center That's gonna talk about like physics and like the universe and stuff Or you're gonna go see an opera or you're gonna go see a Chinese opera or like a one of those Chinese like circus acts Yeah, I gotta tell you I gotta I gotta add this funny anecdote though for one of my birthdays in sixth grade I don't know if you remember this I had a bunch of the guys over from you know from the school And we were having a sleepover, you know mix there's Richie there and some other people and then one of the presents that dad got me was Steven Hawkins book for my birthday. Oh, yeah, and Not that I didn't like Steven Hawkins at the time But I would say definitely to open that present in front of everybody like it was supposed to be lit I don't know. I felt like a really weird feeling where I was like really embarrassed that dad did that I appreciate it now wanted like a n64 I wanted some shoes or something, but I think dad thought it was gonna be dope to have me open that in front of My friends because that's what he value and at that time of course being a kid I'm just trying to be cool dad. You gonna be open in this book of Steven Hawkins. That was crazy, but I don't think any of the other kids Probably got that for their birthday No, no, but I like I said I appreciate it now, but that was like anyways That's like a funny little story. All right guys basically what we're saying is culture in Seattle is pretty different than culture in other places Okay, it's definitely more similar to I don't think it starts to change to be like this kind of like To me what I call like a middle America culture until about federal way Kent just Kent starts to change too, but you know, I mean like Seattle has a very strong tractor beam of like Yo, if you're smart with computers You could be rich. I mean Bellevue has the highest density of millionaires in the world Or at least in America. That's crazy And a lot of stock option millionaires there. Yeah, and just It's just different man. It's really different. So that's why I that's why we wanted to tell you how educated Seattle was because that Colored our perspective and colored the values and you know, some of the things that we did point number four We grew up deeply influenced by the culture of New York Particularly New York hip-hop and basketball culture. I don't think we need to talk too much about this because I feel like this one's a little bit More obvious for people, but we love New York and we always love New York Literally, you know lower east side. Yeah Chinatown. We love and if you guys know about I think it's funny because I'm Basically South Seattle's kind of like At least with the more closer you get to Seattle. It's very like nozz Yeah, yeah, the South South side, you know why it's like nozz more than like chief Keith It's definitely more nozz than chief Keith because you have this street element, right? Which nozz is very street, but nozz is also a poet and he's very much about reading books Yeah, it's very like nozz most death nozz most death were really big in Seattle Retro open mic is essentially like no, it's a lot of that Revolutionary slam poetry Obviously if you guys know about slam poetry guys Usually if you're a slam poet your favorite rapper is nozz. Yeah, probably right even the point before where we were saying It's so educated it still seeps in to the culture in the urban parts of Seattle where people are a little bit more conscious Conscious, you know who's like that? That's from really close to where we're from Jamal Crawford Yeah, and you know who else is from Seattle is Angela Rye? Yeah, the political Journalist pundit. She and they're all from South Seattle. Yeah Around the Seward Park area. So it's like South. Yeah, we're from South side. I know there's the south end We're not from the south and we're from the south side. Anyway, but yeah I mean, I think basically there's just a if New York hip-hop fit really well into Seattle at that time It's not so much like trap rap. It wasn't really Atlanta rap It really wasn't even la rap. Of course it being West Coast There was a lot of pock being played but I would say pock and nozz and Jay-Z there was like Maybe a little more pock, but it was close people just like lyrical stuff They like lyric and they and they sort of like, you know, if you know nozz he picks a lot of rainy sounding beats His beats sound very like gravelly. I mean, I'm not a minimalistic DJ, you know premier types Guys, I'm not saying Macklemore represents all of Seattle But the fact that Macklemore came from Seattle does mean something Macklemore still really very lyrical and Kind of cheesy but spoken word. Yeah, you're very poetic, you know Like I said, you you got to give Macklemore that I would say the biggest Seattle South Seattle icons in terms of like the urban hip-hop Culture Brandon Roy a Robinson Jamal IT now IT's from Tacoma, but yeah, that still counts Zach Levina is from North Seattle, but people don't really rep Zach like that Anyways, but he does play in the crossover league. He does. Hey, he's one of the greatest dunkers ever I'll give him that point number five that kind of informs our opinion is that we used to be really angry Angrier and more bitter about the position of average Asian guys in America and Although there's always still things to talk about and issues there things are getting better But I feel like we've toned down some of the anger which some people I think might be surprised That we said that because lately we've just been like making some videos complaining not really complaining identifying the issues guys I feel like we're not angry about it. The tone is different. It's way more Looking at it just from a technical How long are you gonna be angry for like that's my question to a lot of people is that of course? It's totally fine. Basically we should rewind that to basically to say this I think if you're not super tall or super good looking or super rich and you're like an Asian guy in America The odds are people are gonna rank your Dragon Ball Z power levels pretty low. I would just say that the average Asian guy in the West the average Asian guy Probably gets ranked pretty low on the depth chart. Yeah unfairly like literally Regardless, so it's like a there of there like built-in skills and talents and thoughts and abilities just straight off them Rip they're like socially ranked kind of low. Yeah, and what I would say is that we knew that early on we kind of learned that we felt that we were on the message boards reading blogs about this long before red it really popped off as like the scene to do that in and then I would say like We we've been talking about these issues for a long time and for me personally I'm just a little bit less angry not because I have everything in my life that I want But just because I'm like, you know, we got to just go out and attack things and do things because I'm like Not as caught up at this point in my life in oh My gosh, this is what happens. You mean Asian guys get ranked lower than other guys like that's not new to me That's just a fact. I've accepted it. So what do we do from here? And we're not talking about the really chiseled beautiful You know sharp nose Asian guys that some of them obviously exist Yeah, I do think they get underrated and I always tell people it's like an exchange machine What you know different people are getting different exchange rates on their efforts. Yeah, what's your exchange rate? What can you do except put more dollars in what's your machine like is your machine working properly is your change machine giving you The full amount one for one or is it kind of janky? It's kind of giving you like Well, obviously, I can see why some guys could be discouraged if they put in a dollar bill, right? And some guys give five quarters back and then you feel like you're getting two quarters and like two dimes back 70 cents You're getting 70 cents on a dollar. They're getting a dollar 25 on a dollar in terms, you know of exchange rate Guys discouraging. Yeah, it is discouraging, but I don't think the guys should stop trying I don't think that they should Give up. I think the reason why we wanted to share that point is because I basically wanted to let you guys know that We've been there. We've been on the bitter boards if you want to call them the angry Asian man We've kind of been there. I'm not saying that I still don't feel it. It's just that I'm I'm there in a different space now as you should be. Yeah, as we all should be I think that it's really easy to stay in that like rooting Period but at the end of the day your life actually only changes not when you accumulate more knowledge or a more profound understanding of your problems, but actually You as you attack them as you take action So that's what I we want from all the makeover videos and all those things as encourage guys to relentlessly take action Action instead of relentlessly Accumulating a better understanding of the problems are David. Are you active on the activeness? Basically everything in life guys is a balance between attack and analyze I do think Asians in general not just the average Asian guy in the West Could use a lot more attack. Yeah number six as Asian as we are and we're very proud to be Asian and we're very much into Asian history culture food The movement all happened, but we're not that much into like Asian pop things It being Asian pop music gaming Anime like we we keep up with kind of all of it on like a base level. I feel like But we're not like deep in it, right? That's fair. We're not I don't think that's a mystery I don't think people are like shot. I watched the tack on Titan the one movie Yeah, what's the show? No, I know I'm a I'm aware of No, I feel like you know, it's important to understand what's going on the general view But we're I don't spend time. I know enough to get very surface level anime memes But if we were going to like into the anime meme Instagram's yeah a lot of that stuff would go over my no no the memes about anime that pop up on the mainstream Asian Instagram meme pages I Kind of understand but the deeper ones I don't and I think it's funny because we had this one friend this one time It was she was a girl and who she was like, hey guys, you guys aren't really Asian And I was just like what do you mean when I look at us like we talk about Asian food all the time We're very proud like what do you mean? She's like, no, you guys aren't into like gaming and all that stuff You know the typical Asian stuff, so I think it's interesting And I'm not to like downplay that kind of stuff because I know that a lot of our friends are into it too But like I think it's just interesting that we're more into like probably the food culture history aspect of it and the globalization and the Economics behind it then we are necessarily into the pop culture You're talking about yeah, sort of like the teenage pop culture of Asia and I still like Boba though I just think that if you really look at Asian culture in depth There's so many different levels and the pop culture that emerged in the past 20 years It's just one narrow slice of Asian culture. Yeah, and I'm not I like BTS. I'm glad BTS. I really liked the fact that we're able to speak at the UN Garner that type of platform, but I'm not learning k-pop choreo routines. What? Just in the same way. I never learned J-child choreo routine So it's not like a Chinese versus Korean thing like I don't like pop music in general But yeah, I mean I think real quick just to wrap up this point because I don't think we need to explain too much But like why is that different? Well, how does that shape our perspective that we're kind of more? interested into The larger part the thousand-year-old Asian culture rather than diving so deeply and being caught up in like the last 20 Well, first of all, I think the people who actually really understand Asian culture if you had to pick one or the other For sure all the other stuff is more deeper. Yeah, no the history I mean we're talking about hundreds to thousands of years I mean we're talking about products that were created in the last 15 20 years in the pop world We're talking about philosophies that have Lasted the test of time and well a later. Let's just say 2,000 years versus 20 years. I mean guess last word on Asian pop culture that I'm not particularly deep in whether it be anime gaming or Pop music. It's like I think it all is part of the wave. I think generally it's all good number seven I wanted to say share this point is that we never hit our identity of being Chinese And we do believe that Chinese are often misrepresented in a kind of larger sense So I feel like one of our goals of our channel is not that we are not actually we don't have friends of other Asian races We actually are very well-versed. I would say in other Asian cultures But particularly there's kind of this mission that we have to kind of help explain where Chinese are at right now Yeah, I think it's a unique responsibility that only would Fall on people who are Chinese have a passion for it and I think that of all the Asians in America Chinese are probably the most misunderstood yeah, because It's the oldest. It's the oldest Asian. It's the oldest country actually in the world right now That's still a unbroken civilization And the first Asians that came over to America like Egyptians would be up there But guess what Egyptians they ain't Egyptians anymore like from they ain't the pharaoh Egyptians, right? So basically Chinese are sort of like this very esoteric Group of people that a lot of people really struggle to understand. I think even Chinese Americans don't understand it is complicated It's really complicated. There's 56 different languages Within it and actually Genetically Chinese people are mixed with a lot of different things. Yeah, they're not all like what people would say Mostly, huh, they're mostly huh, but they're mixed with a lot of different stuff depending on what region, you know You're I mean China's a big place with a lot of it's grown over the years. So Not as cut and dry as being like an Asian from a small country I think they're complicated in their own way, but it's pretty much like That's the narrative and that's it. You know what it is Chinese It's like they can't even agree on what language to speak I mean, it's a lot easier to kind of have a one-set narrative for For example, like maybe Koreans and Vietnamese people who you know their populations range, you know less than 50 million worldwide But then I'm obviously with Chinese was such a big huge Planet of their own 1.35 billion I mean 1.4 if you count the diaspora people from around the world easily, right? And it's just like that's just a crazy amount of people with a crazy amount of history and Diversity I mean it's like India if you look at India the reason India has had some, you know problems running infrastructure It's because they're all super different from each other and some of them don't even speak the same language Yeah, yeah, and I would say like I think it struck us because I think so many Chinese kids growing Chinese people over the years when we were growing up a lot of Chinese kids Wanted to be Japanese wanted to be Japanese wanted to be Korean or wanted to be white. Yeah Or in the South and in the South and you know, it's more urban wanted to be Filipino Yeah, I mean they wanted to be everything but Chinese. Let's say that Yeah, and this is you guys have to understand this is out of time I think it's like different if you're growing up in Australia right now and you're 15 you're probably really happy you're Chinese I'm just saying like there was a time in the US. I would say a stretch of about 25 30 years Where it was viewed as so uncool to be Chinese. Yeah, no, you know how many Chinese people would just tell us like oh, yeah I'm just Asian. I'm like You know or like even if they are Chinese They're like, oh, yeah, they don't want to they don't want to say which Chinese they are. Oh Yeah, my family's from the South Where in the South like you know, it's like I think just that there is that those people themselves They didn't fully understand how to use it and or how to be proud And I think one of our missions is to this large group of people who maybe don't understand themselves that much And I'm not saying I'm an expert by all means we're not experts I'm definitely not an expert, but I do think that we're trying to figure out a way that Chinese people can be proud without being Ridiculous about it with being fair to everybody else with just representing ourselves just more fully I just think that one of the goals of our channel has always been to be well-balanced Asian guys Show all different Asian cultures, you know not represent them in ourselves personally But put them on camera give them a shot give some give them some shine But to also build up some more kind of like soft power imagery The Chinese culture. Yeah, and I'm not talking about anything geopolitical or anything related to any sort of Simply people just don't Yes Simple as that. It's like what I'm not gonna like my cousin our cousins are growing up over there Yeah, like we have cousins growing up in China Hong Kong China other parts of Asia, too Like I don't want people to feel that way I Theoretically if you made me analyze the reasons why they feel that way. I could break them down for you Yeah, I get it but Somebody's got to just show some highlights them at least some middle ground things Try to show that Chinese people can be nice people, too Yeah, and I get it. I get it Chinese people when you meet them anecdotally in your everyday life unless you meet like kind of like Certain ones that are I guess more Less common. They're not gonna necessarily be like the incredibly like smiley people Basically to wrap up this point is that we're not saying that there's not Reasons for those questions for those debates and those stereotypes stereotypes come from somewhere But I do think just as we do for Asians in general We like to do you know, even especially for Chinese is to just show the other side And show that we're more than those stereotypes number eight We figured out early on that the world was tribal and even though it's changing a bit now it is still Like that basically this kind of understanding that people kind of like things that are similar to them That's not a crazy thought. I think everybody should know that that's kind of true on a macro level I think you're Micro to mid situation like we always talking about we're like boats or like fishes in the ocean and you Are in control of to some extent how big or small or powerful or how your Jeep or how your GPS runs as a boat But then there's also a tide and a gravitational pull from the currents and the moon You know that you as a fish slash vessel in the ocean Have no control over all you have is the control over how strong you are yes And that's what it means to be trapped people are tied to a tribe Here's the thing you don't get a fully pick what type of vessel you were born or what type of fish you were born Why is it that any Asian youtuber that's out there the majority of their fans are Asian? Why is that because that's like literally that's a fact for like 95% Asian youtubers? Well, obviously I would say the only YouTubers that kind of have the benefit of multiple multiple heavy demographics are the white youtubers Yeah, and that's why you see so many Asians or Latinos or even African-Americans dye their hair blonde and wear blue contacts because at the end of the day if you just look at it Let's remove all this sort of like social justice aspects out of it If you want to appeal to the largest amount of demographic pools having blonde hair and blue eyes is still Probably the logical move even if you're Asian or even if you're yeah, if you know if you're not white Yeah, just helps just affect those attributes to look to have white features. Yeah, as far as the world being tribal It's unfortunate. I think you look in 2019 right now and you see that on full display I mean you just take a look at polling numbers across America. It's it's inland versus coastal It's this side versus that side like I just know what someone's race gender and where they're born in America right now And with like 75% accuracy Roughly predict which way they're leaning on a vote. Yeah, yeah I want to say it's just about race and looks though because different tribes They can it can be by socioeconomic and city for example in SF. I think it's a little bit less based on being Asian I think it's more about being from the tech world tech world, you know Obviously Andrew Yang's all of his followers are not Asian. In fact, his biggest supporters are not Asian So it's more about his meaning what he's doing for people people are are able to overlook even in England Which for the longest time was a homogenous society They really segregated themselves based on which type of British accent you had. Oh, do you speak the Queen's English? Do you speak cockney? Yeah, do you have a Birmingham ham accent or whatever? Do you know what I mean? Like humans like to separate people into quadrants and then rank them into a hierarchy I always said like anytime there's more than like six of a person they're gonna start separating themselves somehow You ever seen a group of like ten friends and like they still have a ranking amongst that ten friends They have the girl the guy who's usually in the middle of the group and then you know There's the guy who generally is always caught on the outside of the picture and it's just funny anyways It's like a sorority or a fret. I mean they have there's hierarchy Yeah, but uh, but I just think that that's just the way the world is not that I want it to be that way And not that it should be that way but on a macro level now I'm not saying in the mid and the micro things might not be different though Because it depends on your own individual situation who's around you what neighborhood you're living in what part of that What age you are if you're really young guess what tribes don't mean as much dude Living in different parts of Vancouver could feel like you're living in two different countries. Oh, yeah parts of LA Number nine is that we generally care more about impact and meaning of a video more than income So it's not that we don't value money. Of course, you know, everybody likes money. We like making money We do brand deals, but it just doesn't take priority over Kind of the type of videos that we want to make for example Rarely ever hopped on trends. We never did like the mukbang thing. We never did like Parodies really like maybe one or two parodies never really gotten to the reaction game These are things that you do when you're essentially trying to make money off YouTube And I think making money off YouTube is like the number two thing for us But number one is like, what do we want to say you're referring to like the SEO games the SEO games We don't play that and that's nothing wrong. I the Google keywords We have tons of friends that play those games that you're they're just like It's like a formula you to do this tag it like this you got to do whatever your friends No, literally you stack like seven things on the formula together. You have a formula cake But guess what guess what everybody the fun bros channel. I would say lax formula Or the formula is just a lot different. I should say that there's not a lot of internet gaming Like in terms of gaming not gaming video games like gaming the system. No, we don't we don't gain the system It's hard man, you know, we just want to make the content. It's funny because after all this time David Almost eight years in the game of YouTube We're still kind of like making the content that we just want to make so in a way as as I feel like as Impersonal as our channel can be called because we don't talk about ourselves You can see that Topic-wise we just want to talk about the things that we want to talk about whether it's an Asian issue Video one video and then the next video is a food video and the next one's a burger video the next one's about street wear It's like it's very Inconsistent, but it's interesting That's how I say our channel is, you know, obviously you look back and you could say oh man I wish it would have did it that way did it that way. Hey, man If it came if we made it, you know, obviously there's a few vids I wish I could take back or like I don't I don't really grade The journey of the last eight years making Professionally making videos online like a ten out of ten, you know, hey man Who's to say the future couldn't be ten out of ten though or at least striving for that not every video I want to say we've tried our hardest to be meaningful in But if even if you watched a little grocery store videos, you know, we try to tie in a little Deep take away at the end. We never did a cinnamon challenge. We never did ice bucket challenge By the way, we do donate a lot of stuff whether that's like oh clothes It was a micro finance accounts for you know, third world entrepreneurs I got we donate a ton of stuff to Goodwill. Oh, yeah, we'll throw up sneakers all around you You know, New York, you know Indie go-go's and Kickstarter's man.
