 Welcome to Rehash. We're all news on the internet. It's all news. We bring you the best and worst of what's happening today. This is a very special first episode of Rehash. The pilot, yeah. Yeah, the pilot thing. We decided that we would take our first episode to explain to you what Rehash is, what you can expect from it, and pretty much just set expectations so that no one's let down or happy or unhappy. Wait, did I just say happy? Yeah, happy. They should be happy. Yeah, happy. What do you want to do? You guys should be excellent. You guys should be ecstatic. That would be. So when we upload an episode of Rehash, you guys have the possibility of being featured in an episode. Future? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, featured in an episode. So if you guys open the link down below via the description, you can submit clips of saying, hey, this is who I am and welcome to Rehash. Or however you guys would like to do the introduction, and you can be shouted out and promoted in each episode of Rehash. Not only will you introduce us at the end of the episode, we'll actually talk about your channel, about what you do and who you are. Also, as far as the content of the show, it's not just that. The content of the show will be talking about two or more news topics of the day. The reason that we're doing this is because we feel that shouting you out is going to be a lot more effective if- are you making faces? No, no, no, no, no. Okay. We feel that it's going to be a lot more- He's doing it again, isn't he? We feel that telling people about your channel is going to be a lot more effective if we involve not only content creators, but also content viewers. So do keep that in mind, and remember that we are doing this for you so that when we make a recommendation about your channel, it means all that much more. But the bite-sized information as to what this is about is- Are you saying I talked too long? No, no, not at all. Okay. But the whole source of the show is really offering you as a viewer or a content creator both a means of actual promotion, a simple content viewing, whether you guys are coming in or tuning in for news or we're promoting your channel with, it's a win-win situation. If you're a viewer, you get to find out about news, whatever we upload an episode of ReHash, or if you're a YouTube content creator, you get shouted out. You do realize that I'm going to leave that little mess up in there, right? Or you're going to leave it in the middle of that in there. Okay, yeah, forever. No Mother Freedom family is a mess of you. As I said previously, normally we would bring you two different news stories. However, I feel that we've gone on long enough as far as that. And since we don't have a partner to actually introduce us to this episode, I feel that it's appropriate for us to tell you the bite-sized story about our YouTube journey, where we came from, where we are now, and how we got here. So go for it. All right, guys. So my name is Zachary Sykes, or a lot of you as the Freedom family know me as Real Sykes. On July 7th, in just a few very short weeks, I started YouTube two, two, TW, two years ago. Exactly. From the very first time I uploaded it, two years I've done all of this. It's crazy. I started out uploading Call of Duty content creation videos. I transitioned into exploits and glitches, and then I transitioned back over into Call of Duty. But the moral of the story is, I've been doing it almost two years. I'm still a newb to the YouTube scene. And what about you? As far as me, May of 2006, I opened my first YouTube channel. Old timer? Oh, yeah. I'm old. I'll own that. So I was doing YouTube when you were still in diapers or heating sand. Pretty close, yeah. Yeah, okay. Both. So I started off doing vlogs and that kind of thing. And then I kind of gave it up for a little while. I came back several times over the years until I... So I gave it up and came back a couple times over the years. And I finally got really, really serious right before I joined George's previous network. And then I grew my channel to 10,000 subscribers, which was one of my more successful channels over the years. And then one year ago today, actually, because this will go live on the 9th, one year ago today, I made my very first freedom video on the youtube.com slash user slash school. Should be a link down there or in a card floating above my... I don't know. So today is my anniversary with freedom. If you would, just say congratulations. Do you have like a cake or something to celebrate? Dude, do I look like I need cake? Well, I need cake. I'm kind of hungry. Okay. I need a cake. I'll tell you what. What if I allow you to have cake but you've got to do certain kinds of tests before you get the cake? Deal. I don't know what that is. You heard him, guys. You should probably let him know in the comment section down below why that's a horrible idea. What kind of task would you like to see me do before I came to cake? Yeah. Okay, we both just did that. Should it involve a portal gun? Tell me in the comment section down below. Thank you so much for joining us on this first and special episode of Rehash.
