00:00Every day, they're quirky.
00:03Every day, they're quirky.
00:08Bro.
00:09Hey, Max.
00:11Yeah.
00:13Okay.
00:16Hey, Max.
00:18Hey, Mom.
00:20Unbelievable.
00:21I know, I know.
00:22What are you doing?
00:24I know.
00:27This is crazy.
00:28I'm sorry when I missed your text, Mom.
00:31I'm sorry.
00:33Why did you?
00:34No.
00:34What are you apologizing for?
00:38I'm just saying.
00:39I'm sorry.
00:40I apologize.
00:41You know.
00:42That is fucking insane, bro.
00:45That is insane, man.
00:48Nobody fucking believed in me, man.
00:50Nobody.
00:52And I did that shit.
00:53We did that shit.
00:56Bro.
00:57I forgot all about this video, bro.
01:00I didn't even know what I was doing, bro.
01:02And this shit happened.
01:05Bro.
01:07This is fucking insane, bro.
01:09Because I literally took the risk to do this shit.
01:11And it fucking happened.
01:19I overdosed at a bus stop when I was 15.
01:23For real?
01:23I died.
01:24They brought me back to life.
01:26Chat.
01:26I read the book.
01:29Y'all know this.
01:30Like, explore your potential, bro.
01:33Get off the drugs and get around.
01:34Get around.
01:35You feel me?
01:36Like, do you really realize what you're capable of?
01:39You know?
01:40That's what I'm saying.
01:41Like, you clean yourself up.
01:43Shave.
01:43Start getting off the drugs.
01:45Start doing it.
01:46You will prevent.
01:47And like, well, if you get rid of all that bulls**t, you will really prevent.
01:51Because I know it sounds like bulls**t.
01:53But it's not.
01:54It's really not.
01:55But now, like, I'm just saying from, like, bulls**t that don't be on drugs.
01:59That ain't been through what you've been through.
02:01And they be like, man, get off the drugs.
02:03It sound like bulls**t.
02:04You ain't go through what I went through.
02:06You feel me?
02:07Exactly.
02:07But I'm telling you, bro, I've been right in your sense.
02:09There's always been through it, yeah.
02:11I swear to God.
02:12Like, and you don't need the kid to push you there.
02:15You feel me?
02:16You just gotta want to get around these.
02:18If they really on your side, they'll stick by it.
02:21I was in Arizona with my mom, bro.
02:24We was going to the Grand Canyon, bro.
02:26And we went to this convenience store.
02:29I begged her.
02:29I said, Mom, please, let me get this Kodak camera.
02:33And she got the camera for me.
02:35Parents always be buying you s**t for, like, cousins and families around.
02:38So I used that to my advantage, bro.
02:41My cousin was there.
02:42So she's not gonna say no in front of my cousin.
02:45She bought the camera.
02:47Boom.
02:48I'm taking flicks.
02:50So you know the ones where it prints out?
02:52You know the ones where it prints out?
02:54But I took a random flick of my mom.
02:56I showed it to her.
02:57I said, Mom, look.
02:58Bro, my mom sat there, bro.
03:00And gassed me up for, no funny s**t, like, two minutes.
03:04She's like, that's one of the best photos I've ever seen.
03:07And I was like, really?
03:09I'm not even gonna think for this camera.
03:10Maybe, like, I need to, this camera thing might be my s**t.
03:13Hold on.
03:15And ever since then, I had these dreams of getting cameras.
03:18And I would get these cameras and I would take photos of my friends and I would take
03:22every course that had anything to do with video.
03:25And I would borrow the cameras.
03:27I would beg.
03:28I would ask, yo, can I borrow this school camera?
03:30I don't, I can't get this camera myself.
03:32And sometimes my teachers would let me get this camera, n*****g.
03:35I joined random film competitions in my city.
03:39Like, all I did was record, bro.
03:41I would edit these montages on Call of Duty or Killzone or whatever.
03:47I would go upstairs and I would show my parents.
03:50While they were sitting down watching TV, I would just show them.
03:53I'd be like, look, Mom.
03:54And they have no clue what they're looking at.
03:56It's just me.
03:56It's just a whole bunch of random Call of Duty clips edited together.
03:59And I'm like, damn, I like this editing s**t.
04:00And I started editing more.
04:02I started editing for other people.
04:04And then, boom, years go by.
04:07And I'm like, damn, bro.
04:08Like, five, six, seven years went by and this is still not working for me?
04:13Like, how much time am I going to spend on this thing?
04:16Like, I reorganized my whole life for this thing and it's still not working for me, n*****g?
04:21Like, when my friends went and got jobs that paid well, these, like, security jobs that got $20 an hour,
04:26I would instead volunteer.
04:27I would, and so I did, and so I needed to spend time on YouTube.
04:31I couldn't do nothing that would spend, take away from YouTube.
04:33When I went to university, when I went to university, instead of going in the dorms, which looked way more
04:38fun,
04:39I got a townhouse with four other people because the internet sucked in the dorms.
04:43I had to be able to upload YouTube videos, n*****g?
04:46I, like, I spent too much on this s**t.
04:48Like, bro, there was way too much time.
04:50Like, when my friends would go out, I'd be like, bro, I haven't uploaded yet, so I gotta upload today.
04:55Boom, now I'm uploading.
04:56Bro, no exaggeration.
04:58I have reorganized literally everything in my life for this to work, and years went by.
05:05Bro, I'm on Skype calls with Lowe and some friends, and Lowe is an OG, bro, no funny s**t.
05:09Lowe was there with me probably every day where we thought about quitting, dawg.
05:13Every day we would get on Skype calls, and we would talk about the NBA, we would talk about YouTube,
05:18and we would talk about what the f**k we were posting next, n*****g?
05:21We would talk about, and we would help each other with the videos, and eventually Lowe started posting his own
05:26videos,
05:26and, and, and I remember I was in my third year in university.
05:30N*****g, I have goosebumps.
05:31I was in my third year at university, bro, and it was summer.
05:34N*****g, I wasn't even going home for the summer because it was tough to record at home,
05:37so I was staying at uni on a ghost campus, n*****g.
05:40It was dumb empty.
05:41It was boring as f**k.
05:43But I would stay there because it was better for YouTube.
05:46Everything was, let me just, bro, I need this to work.
05:48I need this to work.
05:49This is what the f**k, bro.
05:50I knew what I wanted, bro, and it wasn't going to fail.
05:53It's impossible.
05:54Not if I, n*****g, and I joke about it sometimes when,
05:57I joke about it sometimes on the Only Up s**t when we're doing these like,
06:01these like parkour games, but if you don't quit, you can't lose.
06:06It's impossible because you can just get up and try again.
06:09So that's all I did.
06:10And every time I felt like quitting, I would just convince, I would talk to some friends,
06:14and I would convince myself of everything I already believed, why I knew I wanted this
06:18from years ago, and I would go again, and I would go again.
06:22And it was one video that finally f**king blew from me.
06:24It got 50,000 views after f**king six, seven years.
06:28And it was a video talking about why NBA Live might make a comeback.
06:33This was in 2017, I believe.
06:35And, n*****g, from there, I just, bro, all I needed was a sliver, n*****g.
06:40That's, I swear to God, all I needed was a sliver.
06:44Like, bro, there was, that summer, that summer, I remember I went to the McDonald's on campus,
06:49and I wanted a McFlurry, and my car got denied.
06:52And I remember thinking, like, that don't make no sense.
06:55And you know, sometimes you don't check your bank account because you don't want to see
06:57what's in that, b*****g.
06:58I didn't get no loan money.
07:00You know, the loan money comes at the start of the year, so with the summer, it's the end
07:03of the year, and the fall is going to be the start of the year, right?
07:05So I'm out of, I'm out of the loan money I've been using because I've been spending all
07:09that on cameras and lighting and green screens and a whole bunch of bulls**t for my,
07:12for my YouTube videos.
07:13And I remember thinking, like, f*****g.
07:15So, um, I didn't think nothing of it.
07:17I went home, I logged into my account, and it said negative three overdraft.
07:22So I'm like, damn, bro, I gotta get creative.
07:24And the guy went on this random website.
07:26I went on this random website where you can get, at the time it was called FameBit, where
07:31you can get sponsorships.
07:32I found this scale.
07:33This was after I lost weight.
07:35So I'm like, let me do this promo for a scale.
07:37It was $100.
07:38It was $100.
07:39I promo the scale for 45 seconds.
07:41They sent the money instantly, and that was my food money that week.
07:46That was my food money for that week.
07:47And it was in that week where that video blew up, and I finally was able to, like, start
07:51supporting myself, not relying on the ad money no more.
