I believe that you have 1.5 million subscribers, the one and only, Jared the Outlaw. Thank you. Thank you very much. You don't have to lie. Did you just make yourself sound like a boomer? You called it the YouTube. The YouTube's. The YouTube's. The YouTube's. I think we start this off with, I met Outlaw at Granger Smith's music video shoot. He's an entrepreneur himself. We'll get into that as well. But we didn't know each other. Didn't really know our channels. And we realized that we were competing for the number one spot on comedy on Valentine's Day two years ago, because you'd release a song and so had I. And it was, it was back and forth, back and forth. I remember that. I remember that. It was solid. And then, you know, we decided that we would let him go ahead and have his days and we won't release on the same.

Right, right. Because, you know, that competition is just...

We shared a couple texts. Hey, what's your release date, bud? Schedule it out. Schedule it out. Yeah.

Yeah, that's been exciting.

And then in like 15, 16 is when you could start to kind of make money. And then I was up in Alaska at the time. I was commercial fisherman up there for salmon. Holy shit. Wow. Yep. And so I was working up there. That's hard work, dude. It was. It was so hard that the second time I went up, I was like, yeah, I can't do this no more.
