right now we we no we can't do it but and they said it wasn't no and they they denied that appeal and i just remember being crushed man crushed crushed because i'm like man this is this is my bread this is this is hello come on like what hey what is this what's going on but just remembering how everything was this uh it just makes you appreciate being able to bounce back now and with things would would finally and and again remember like we got to put in the application yesterday we got to put in the we got to reapply yesterday and instead it could take up to 30 days but it it didn't

at 9 30 we got the email at 9 23 a.m. so it's cool man this is uh man this is uh and um then too just thinking about all of y'all that that helped out um all of y'all that uh because a lot of people like donated and stuff and um and and a lot of y'all were like hey we're gonna keep this thing moving man y'all like we're gonna keep this thing moving one way or another i i saw so many of y'all say

anything that you need is to help with anything and it's to look for anything do any research um i know uh yeah it just it's been a lot of support man it's a whole lot of support um so i appreciate it so much man i really do man i really do man because this is crazy man it's crazy i like i can't believe it man like i it's crazy man um so uh it's it's a nice feeling it really is uh obviously we we took took a big loss um through most of the month month of march but um it obviously wasn't all a loss we took a monetary loss of course but it wasn't all the losses that we gained a lot and we gained a lot of um appreciation um sorry y'all it's just a lot man um um but we gained a lot of appreciation for people because people really showed who they are um teamkeeper clean like i already knew that y'all are good people i knew that but the way that y'all like showed out with support um when we told y'all what's going on and it is crazy man it's just really crazy so i'm just really happy man these ain't sad tears at all no more these are happy tears um and it's crazy man i'm just so grateful man i'm really i'm so grateful man it's crazy because and again i'm just thinking about everybody who just reached out and reached out constantly checked up and i appreciate y'all man i appreciate y'all so um word to anybody doing youtube i guess uh since i can speak from experience um if you upload anything with a video or shorts because again one thing that i will say and i have said from this whole thing i wish youtube would be more transparent i wish they would be better with letting you know exactly what something is so you don't have to like figure it out for yourself so you ain't got to jump through all these loops and do all this whatnot like if they they're gonna take it away from you then i think they should tell you like hey this is why we're taking it away from you this is why like they should let you know why um i wish they could be more direct because that that's one thing that's that's that's something that had been probably one of the most frustrating things about this whole ordeal that they were not direct at all um and you had to come to your own conclusions but it had to have been the shorts though that's uh so if you upload them videos on youtube and you're trying to get paid um whether shorts or regular long-form videos um um make sure even if you upload a clip from espn or nfl network that's fine to do that but make sure that you talk about it make sure you put your own spin on it don't um like just yeah because you can't just upload a clip because that's that's what i did a couple times i did it with like mark andrews and some other stuff too ray louis but i would upload these were just shorts i uploaded the clips but i ain't talk about it in those clips i talked about it in videos but i didn't talk about it in those shorts so it had to be the shorts that that got me messed up so but yeah lesson definitely learned lesson definitely learned and uh we back um this is it's crazy but it's this is great man so thank you all um man i i could go down along with some people to think but thank you all man um because if i do that we're gonna be here forever i mean we already be here forever because video will be long but i love y'all i appreciate y'all and no more freelance no more freelance the freelancing is gone so thank you all for your support thank you all for everything and we out
