Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of Russell Onyx Radio. I'm Brandon

There's some broadcasting live and on demand from Buffalo, New York where it is 47 degrees Fahrenheit

Joining me to my immediate south is Chris Kolo who has survived the Twitter apocalypse

Yeah, yeah, and that's some paying for month-hulbs

To my far east

Jesse Collins who also like me never had a blue check mark to begin with. Hello

Yeah, just when I thought I'd come close to getting a blue check mark

Now it's lost all relevancy. It's like a you work for a major media publication though

Yeah, you know, they did a thing

Probably about a year ago now where they told us if you want to get

certified on Twitter like send in an application and like my company was going to

submit like en masse a huge request for verification and they told us it was going to take like months and months for them to figure it out

And I guess they never figured it out because I think Twitter was bought after that and the verification system changed

But my plans to be verified and my plan

I'm sure when you're verified and I'm sure Golo can confirm this is that when you get that little blue check mark

People just take you a lot more seriously

Instantly you get a million followers like really quickly everyone just agrees with you all the time

I'm sure it's just pure bliss and

I can only dream of such a thing. I guess I can now attain that dream for for eight dollars correct

Yeah, I like longer tweets that that's my favorite thing about it

Do you do make longer tweets? Yeah, sometimes I'm promoting things. You know, I mean there's just not enough words

Here here's the thing we have to talk about so so Chris Golo you you did not have a blue check mark until very recently
