Speaker 1 (00:00):
Is anybody there?
Speaker 2 (00:10):
What's up you beautiful people, and welcome to
the final episode of theconversation that Val and I had
about content creation.
Now we're going to go oversocial media.
We're also going to go over acouple more things as far as
what we consider as great toolsfor content creation.
Again, you know we're not theexperts, but you know we have
been doing this for a little bit.
(00:30):
So I hope you enjoy this and,guys, without further ado, I'll
give you the episode I'm in thefuture.
What are your top three socialmedia platforms that you do not
met like this?
These are the ones that I gowith I'm gonna put instagram at
(00:52):
first.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Instagram number one, um number two, I guess tick
tock.
But tick tock is is tough,because it's like, okay, if
you're going to leave, then justleave.
I don't want to do this backand forth with you anymore.
And then Threads is another onefor me, because I have it set
(01:13):
up to where when I post onInstagram it automatically goes
to Threads.
So it's like that's one lessthing I have to do and it gives
me okay traction.
I wish I would do YouTube,though.
I really want youtube to bethere for me.
I really want that spark betweenme and youtube but it's not
there yet it's not there yetonly because it's like I post
too many videos that are notthree minutes long and I feel,
(01:36):
like on youtube, I don't likethose borders on the side of the
videos and you, those bordersgo away if your video is three
minutes or more.
My videos used to be that longwell, remember now three minutes
.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
You know that is so.
Your videos will fall under theshorts under three minutes.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Yeah, yeah, I know so , but it's like I, you know, I
don't know, I don't know, Idon't like shorts.
Do people watch shorts?
Speaker 2 (02:06):
yeah yeah oh yeah, I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
I also don't use youtube enough, so so.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
So for me it's instagram um youtube.
Okay, I'm going this year likethis year.
I decided that, like I was, wasgoing to go hard on on both
Instagram and YouTube, and it'spaid off, right.
Yeah, a humble brag, your boyjust finally hit a thousand on
Instagram you know, wow, yes.
(02:36):
I know.
So I was super pumped aboutthat.
So, like uh, I've been goinghard on Instagram and you see
it's fun because on Instagramyou can, it can can both.
If you do videos or things likethat green screen, you can put
it both strictly on uh, oreither just instagram or you can
put it on facebook and threadsoh yeah it will allow you to do
(02:59):
both.
So I'm like I, I hit the three,the trifecta, with all those
three.
So technically I should put, Ishould say meta is number one,
youtube and then Twitter.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
YouTube and then Twitter.
You know what I can't doTwitter I can't do it, I know.
I have it like my personal, butit's not very professional and
so none of them have been.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
none of them have been like, you know, like a
business, you know, uh, accounts.
Those are still all my personalaccounts, so I can do whatever
the heck I want.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
I can post whatever I want, Um so.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
And by professional I just mean like I show bias, I
show my bias, my team bias.
So, like you know, I'm aBroncos fan on my Twitter.
You know, I'm a Rangers fan andso, whereas Val else, where you
will really have to know me, toknow, or, I'm sorry, a stadium
food girl, you'll really have toknow who I am to know who my
teams are.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
You know, that's actually a good question.
That I wanted to ask you is,like, because obviously we both
have different teams that weroot for, um, but like we, we're
both working super hard to makeit.
In an industry right where youcannot show biases, yeah, and
that's hard.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Yeah, that's really hard it.
And what makes it even harderis, well, no, okay, fine, I'll
say it.
So I am a huge Broncos fan,which means I am not a very big
Raiders fan at all, at all, atall at all.
I don't, and I that's mytechnically.
That's my home stadium, and ifyou know me, you know that I'm
(04:41):
going to always at least have ahat of the team that I'm, you
know, doing this vlog for.
So except I've never done itfor the raiders.
So whenever I go to a raidersgame um, I will not wear
anything raiders, I'll wear mybronco stuff.
Um.
One time I went to a jetsraiders game during veterans um,
(05:01):
it was like veterans dayweekend and it was a salute to
service game and I wore an airforce hat, like I didn't even
wear a Raiders hat, you know,and so able to get away with it
because you were doing that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
However, I went to a Superbowlwatch party and I won a raffle
(05:21):
and what was in the bag?
A raiders t-shirt and a raidersfootball hat and shout out to
oak view group.
They are now the official likecatering company, food providers
of legion stadium and Iabsolutely love them.
They do great work, um withother stadiums that I've been to
, so I am going to show supportto the raiders.
(05:43):
This year, I am hoping to do amedia day with oakview group and
, of course, I'm not going to goto my broncos stuff.
So I think you know you can getaway at a raiders which is
wearing black yeah, yeah, yeah,yeah, um, but I don't have an
all black hat like with no logoon it get a 47 or a new era or
something like that.
(06:04):
Yeah, I guess I mean, I don'tmind the hat that I have, though
I didn't pay for it you know, Iwant it yeah, so I don't mind
it.
Look, I tell myself, I'm sodedicated to like my craft and
I'm so like I can push that Ican push the you know what
rivalry to the side and justclock in for a few hours and do
what I have to do.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
You're a better person than I am because when it
comes with a like for football,baltimore Ravens, nah yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
I get it.
No, I get it, but I tell myself, you know what?
I've got my personal Instagramwhere I can just let loose and
be who I am.
Not that I'm not who I am withstadium food girl, but I, you
know, I look at it as like a job, like I really do.
Look at stadium food girls likemy passion and, um, you know,
when you're clocked in, you'vegot, you've got to have a
certain mindset and so I'mtelling myself, right, like once
(06:55):
I walk into the arena, stadium,and I pull out my phone and my
lights, like I'm clocked in,like this is professional work
now, even though it's not,that's funny.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
You say that.
Let me ask you this when, whenyou started doing these vlogs,
how nervous were you?
Oh my gosh um and do you stillget nervous?
Speaker 1 (07:17):
oh I, you know what actually.
This is my thing.
And shout out to me working insales.
I will never do sales again.
But in sales I learned onething If you, if you sound like
you know what you're doing,other people are going to be
convinced that you know whatyou're doing.
I have no idea what I'm doingnow the fake it till.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
you make it.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Oh my God, a thousand percent.
Yeah, I remember one time, ornot one time.
A few months ago, I was inspring training and I didn't
have my mini mics and I wasdoing a POV of me getting my
stadium food girl angels Jerseymade, and I had my phone and I
was like, you know, talking tomy camera while walking to the
team store, and I, because Ididn't have my mics, I was like,
(07:57):
okay, oh, we are on our way tothe team store to get our.
You know, come with me, and Iwas talking so freaking loud and
I was on the concourse and Iwas like people were looking at
me and I was like looking at myphone, but my peripheral vision
could see people looking at mejust yelling on the concourse,
talking to my phone, and I wasso nervous.
(08:17):
But here's the thing too is likewhenever I see somebody like a
content creator out in the wild,I'm curious to see what the
video, what the end result, isgoing to look like.
Oh my God, yeah.
So in my head I'm like, maybethey like we'll find my video,
and they'll be like oh my God, Isaw her making that video,
though, so this is what it lookslike.
It came out good.
That's like my wish, yeahabsolutely.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Let me ask you, um, because you do you the you were
talking about earlier?
Because the reason why youdon't like using youtube, it's
just because it gives you thebars on the side.
So you you, you, you take yourvideo like you know, straight,
like this, not the 9x16 no, no,no, no, no no no, I do I do like
straight up, like what do theycall it portrait mode?
Speaker 1 (08:59):
portrait yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, landscape, not
landscape.
No, because I feel like I feellike it doesn't get everything.
And also, when I upload a videoon instagram that's landscape
mode, then it shows the bars umon the top and bottom yeah, I'm
not a bars person unless I'mlike drinking at a bar.
But, like the bars, I'm not abars person on the videos I, I
(09:22):
get that, I that I, I can seeit's.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
It's one of those things where it's just like oh,
you know, like I don't likedoing the bar, but yeah, I've
been doing a lot more of theportrait over landscape, uh,
with a lot of my videos, evenhere at home.
I even will set up my my uhtripod and everything, just so
that way I can have it on a onthat way, because it's that's,
(09:45):
you know, most of the stuff thatpeople watch.
The vast majority of the videoswhere people are watching are
not on a computer but on uh onthat way, because it's that's,
you know, most of the stuff thatpeople watch.
The vast majority of the videoswhere people are watching are
not on a computer but on uh on aphone and I feel like um uh
horizontal or I guess landscapeis more for like 30, minute, 40
minute long long format yeah,uh-huh yeah yep, where most of
(10:05):
the things that we're doing isthree minutes or less I feel
like tiktok really changed theattention span for us.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Oh you know.
So I feel like, becauseeveryone, whether you post your
tiktok on tiktok or not, you'remost you know you watch videos
on those short forms.
I learned that from tiktok yeah,well, yeah, I learned a short
form and then also um, I'm alsodoing those green screens and I
learned that from you yeah, Ilearned that from tick tock and
(10:35):
I and I noticed that, like, Iused to do five minute videos
and one of my friends, um, sheworks for a team and I'm not
gonna say her name because Idon't want to make her feel bad,
but it was one of the bestpieces of advice that she ever
gave me.
I went to Kansas City I feel sobad because I went to Kansas
City and I did a video, a vlogof our day, and it was a
(10:57):
seven-minute video.
I thought I know, I thoughtthat was a cool thing.
And then I asked her I was like, what did you think of this
video?
And she doesn't work for theRoyals, she works for another
team.
But I was like, what did youthink of this video?
Like, be completely honest withme, like, pretend you're hiring
me and you like really need meto do really well so that you
look like you did well, what isthe best advice you can give me?
(11:20):
She goes if I were you, I wouldhave taken that seven minute
video and made seven one minutevideos.
And I was like, oh my gosh,like yeah and so so, yeah, so
like these short takes, thesequick cuts almost like cutting
your sentence at the end, whenyou're saying a sentence like
people like that now and I wouldhave never known yeah, like I
(11:41):
don't do I like.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
When it comes to long form, it's either the podcast,
because I put the video onYouTube, or the live show.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Other than that, the rest of the stuff I make is less
than three minutes it has to beshort and I love to be very
informative and show a lot, butI realize like just get to the
point with these videos.
You know I hate it sometimes.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
I'm with you, but it's what it is.
It's what these videos, youknow.
I hate it sometimes.
I I I'm with you, but it butit's what it is is what people
like you know.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
So I understand, you know another thing I learned
because of tiktok taking a clipthat's almost like the meat and
the potatoes of your clip,duplicate it, drag it to the
front and then let that be yourintro.
Yeah, so like, let's say I'meating a very juicy burger, get
the three second clip of mebiting into the burger, the
(12:30):
juice dripping, duplicate it,move it to the front and then
like, hey, come with me to lasvegas ballpark to like eat this
burger.
Like, let that be like the hintor the thesis statement yes yes
yeah, it's the hook, the hook.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
You want to hook them and then, so they can see the
video 100%.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Are you sure you're doing that?
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Yep, I do that on the podcasts that we do.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yes, you do this one that we're doing right now.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I do that with that, Like you know, I put the hook at
the beginning, right, andthat's what it is.
But, like I don't do that, I'mlearning as I go, Right.
So I'm really getting into thegreen screen because it's really
working out for me, and and and.
So I'm trying to work on thatand then move on to the next
thing and learn which, I mean,this is an evolving thing.
(13:17):
When it comes to social media,when it comes to content
creation, you're always learningnew things.
I know it's everything.
Every week is somethingdifferent.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
So yeah, it's scary, but I really like the green
screen.
I want to encourage more peopleto use green screen because it
really is a way for you to talkabout it without being there in
person.
I'm going to do a quick like.
There's a team that I requestedvideos from.
I guess I can say the nameShout out Hub City, spartan
(13:47):
Burgers.
Requested videos from, I guessI can say the name shout out hub
city, spartan burgers.
I told them to send me a videoor photos of their burger
toppings bar because apparentlythere's 101 toppings.
It is the largest burgertopping topping bar like I don't
know if it's like in the nationor in all of baseball, whatever
, but I was like you guys haveto send me photos of this and I
straight up told them I want tomake a green screen for this.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
So they're supposed to send me some photos and so I
just think photos are greatshout out to the spartan burgers
they're sending, they send me,they're going to be sending me a
hat.
Um, oh yeah, remember thatwhole thing where you know the
previous spartan burgers where Ibought a hat and they never
said that to me.
So they're like, we're gonnamake it right even though it
wasn't us.
We're gonna make it right.
(14:26):
So shout out to them you knowthat's cool, that was cool we
need the unboxing that's whatone of the I was just gonna say
is like unboxing videos.
That's another one.
Right like if you're able to Ilove them I love doing unboxing,
but you got to do it right.
You can't do it the whole longthing.
I learned that, like you know,just cut out, like when you're
(14:47):
opening, and all that, get allthat fluff out of there.
Cut when there's a this is bookI'm listening to right now.
Um, uh, shout out to audibleman, I, I listen to books.
I don't read them, uh.
But it's just like you know,when you, when you're done
editing, go back again andre-edit and start cutting.
Yes, because, yes, you're gonnacut so much crap out.
(15:08):
Yes, it's, it's insane how muchstuff I cut out that's no
longer, that doesn't need to bethere oh my gosh, just having
conversations with yourself thatnobody else is gonna care about
.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
That's literally me.
I posted a video yesterday ofme at the time of this,
recording of me opening up somebaseball beer bats from
coopersburg sports freaking.
Shout out to coopersburg sportsand their beer bats I think the
video total was like eightminutes and then I think I cut
it down to a minute 47 or twominutes and 47 yo, wow, yeah,
(15:44):
that's a cut.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I waslooking like ew who's gonna
listen to this conversation withme?
Speaker 2 (15:52):
my goal right now is less than three minutes.
You know what for instagram isless than three minutes on
instagram, um, on on youtube, uh, is less than three minutes for
your shorts, your long form, soyou gotta have an even even
amount on that.
So I do a do a little bit ofeverything.
So if you guys are, you knowI'll say this if you guys are
(16:14):
doing YouTube, make sure youdownload the YouTube studio app.
It gives you a lot ofinformation there, like you know
your trends.
It gives you all of this stuff,right, um, that I never really
thought about.
Uh, for example, it gives yousome of like you know the tags
that you can use, all of that.
So I'm telling you it's worthdownloading that one for sure.
(16:38):
So uh, yeah I did switch up myum.
My instagram is on the.
I think it's the professional.
Now for instagram, I have aprofessional difference because
of the um information that givesyou you know, I mean all the
(17:00):
insights it's.
It's absolutely wonderful, yeah,like I mean you can tell, like
your views, your watch time, uh,your interactions, uh if people
are following you because ofthat video.
So, yeah, it gives you a lot ofinformation, like from like
who's watching the videofollowers versus non-followers
always right, yeah, that's whatI'm I.
(17:21):
I need to get better at when itcomes to like data.
You know, diving into data.
I gotta get better at it, butit's, it's been, it's been, it's
been a good experience for mefor that learning how to read it
yep, yep yeah what works andwhat doesn't work.
Right the videos that work anddon't you know who's a really
good follow.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Um, he actually works for instagram.
I don't know how to pronouncehis name, follow him him.
It's Adam, but his username ishis last name.
I don't want to butcher it.
Yeah, he's always posting GreatInstagram tips.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I always follow him and I listen to his stuff
Because it's always Like somegood information as far as, like
the Instagram, right, what youshould be doing on Instagram and
what you shouldn't be doing.
Like some good information asfar as, like the Instagram right
On what you should be doing onInstagram and what you shouldn't
be doing.
So definitely I follow that.
Well, yeah, is there anythingthat we haven't covered?
(18:17):
I mean, I think we did a prettygood job.
We're pretty here, like over,about close, to be about an hour
of conversation or contentmedia, like, keep it simple when
you're starting.
Yeah, keep it simple.
Like I mean, if you'd want to dopodcasting and you want to do

Like I learned a lot from you.
Like I mean I'm always askingyou like you know, hey, what do
you think about doing this, or Imean doing something like this,
and you're always giving meinfo.
So, uh, I do that.
Um, there is these two guysthat I followed.

They do vlogging right, so it'slike what I want to get into
more and they do a really goodjob when it comes to that, uh.
(23:26):
Third one I gotta think aboutthis one because I follow a lot
of people.
I follow a lot of lego people.
That also, um, they do a reallygood job with um, showing you
like the camera from up top okayputting it together and all
that.
So that's something I kind ofwanted to do.
(23:46):
When I do an unboxing, put acamera up top oh yeah I can see,
they can see what I'm opening.
So like I haven't done that yet, but I I think I'm.
I have a hat here, a box, Imight do that okay, very nice
what about you?
Speaker 1 (24:00):
I think for me, my three, not in order.
My good friend forkingaroundtvmentioned him earlier.
Shout out, daniel.
He has taught me a lot with theoverlays.
He's very good at overlays,very good at it, and I think
because of what I've learnedthrough him, I've learned to cut
(24:20):
out a lot of the fluff and justhave two videos in one.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Essentially, my second.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
You're able to remove the audio from the one video
and then just do the you knowwithout having that, without
having that video, plus an extravideo with the voiceover, um, I
think my second one would beanita's um foodie.
Um, oh gosh, what's his name?
Anita's foodie?
His name is anita's, he's basedout of denver and I like him
(24:49):
because actually I anita's thefoodie and he does a lot of like
just eating in front of thecamera, just opening it up and
taking and eating, and just notreal fast, but like he just gets
to the point when it comes tohis videos.
So I've learned how to get tothe point with my eating videos.
I will say a video that Irecently posted, I learned I did
(25:11):
kind of with his strategy.
Um, it was a video that I thisone right here, the um sugarland
burger that I did last week.
Yeah, I feel like he, I learneda lot of his strategy with this
video really and then, I think,a third person that, like I
really um.
(25:33):
This one we didn't really touchon, but I feel like not editing
out and not making it look soperfect.
Alex Earl, but like you knowwho she is right.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Mm-mm.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Okay, she's like this huge TikTok star and she's so
successful.
She's approaching 8 millionfollowers on TikTok and she's so
successful because she leavesno, I wouldn't say she leaves in
the fluff, but she leaves likethe raw footage, um and doesn't.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
She is perfect and I feel like I feel like I spend so
much time trying to make itlook perfect and then it never
gets posted and then that's myfault some of the best things,
that it's one of the best videosthat I've had better traction
with are the ones where I'm justlike me, right, you know say
fuck it, yeah, and it works itworks.
(26:22):
Yeah, the ones that you don'tthink about that will go are the
ones that go viral and the onesthat you spend a bunch of time
trying to get it, make sure thatit's perfect, and all that are
the ones that are like 12 years.
Yeah, that too like son of abitch I know I'm gonna go cry, I
know right I put all this work,you know, and I'm like whatever
it is, what it is, but at leastthe other day of me at a bar at
(26:46):
a lacrosse game.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
I filmed it at the bar and I cut it at the bar.
Mind you, I only had one drinkand I cut and posted it before I
finished my one drink.
I think it hit 1.3 million ShitOn Instagram.
Yeah, it was the one that hadthe frozen ice where you can
chill your glass on the ice andI'm like this bar is living in
2050.
I literally recorded it, cut it, posted, added the music at the
(27:11):
bar.
I had my phone like this, atthe bar trying to choose a good
song and by the time I closedout my tab at the bar trying to
choose a good song and by thetime I closed out my tab, it was
already posted the next day wasalready at a million.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Fuck, I gotta, you, gotta teach me your, your ways,
obi-wan, because 1.3 yeah, yeah,yeah it's.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
If you scroll down, it was posted in what month are
we in?
End of april, I think.
It was posted like beginning ofmarch or yeah.
So that one, I literally postedit.
And then the hot dog video thatI posted.
The first time I posted it ithit just under 10 million views.
I filmed it in the kitchen andI posted it in the kitchen at
(27:47):
the Rangers game.
No like what, no thought wentinto it.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
But, man, I tell you, some of these vlogs that I post
, it's like they take me threedays to post and I'm just like,
oh yay, 20 views, that's so coolI love the ups and downs of
social media is so wild yeahyeah, I should do a study on
that, because it is absolutelywild how like yeah, you know
like it's you go from like likeyou were saying, like you've got
(28:16):
all these views, and thenyou're like 20 views later on.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
This one right here.
This one hit 1.2.
And literally it's like 10seconds long.
But because it didn't take methat long to, it was a 10-second
video, it better not take me,that's insanity.
Yeah, so well, yeah, 1.2million.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Unreal.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
And I had no thought, like no thought went into it.
But then I posted all the hotdog options the day after it.
Only just under 2,000 views, ohman, and that one obviously
took some effort and a lot ofeating.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
So Okay, well, that good for you.
Damn it it.
I'm trying to get to your level.
That's what I.
That's my new goal in liferight now.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
It's get to your level less thinking, more
posting, and I don't payattention to a lot of the game
when I'm there.
So so, like I, a lot of thetime I'm just paying to paying
for the experience.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
I don't even pay attention to the game a lot when
I'm posting it's funny becauseI usually don't so, but
attention to the game a lot whenI'm posting.
It's funny because I usuallydon't, so what I'm going to?
Yeah, well, I'm going to putsome stuff on there.
Guys, thank you so much forlistening.
We hope that you guys got somegood tips from us right on what
some of the things that we douse when you go to the ballpark,
(29:38):
where you go to differentsporting events, and things like
that.
I will put some some, some ofthe links.
Val is going to give me some ofher links so that way she can
put them as well.
So that way, whatever it islike, you know, there's a lot of
.
Obviously there's some thingsthat I didn't go into, like some
of the lenses that I use rightnow that I add on my phone.
(29:59):
To.
Like some of the lenses that Iuse right now, uh, that I add on
my phone, um, you know, becauseI use this company called
moment, uh, and they, with thiscase that I have, I can put a
lens on it and then, you know,make it, you know, fisheye or
whatever it is leave that linkagain oh yeah, I'll send you the
link, so, but yeah, uh, andthen we'll see you guys on the
next one.
Don't worry, we got some coolstuff coming Some Sandlot
(30:20):
baseball, some more other teamsthat are coming, some social
media people.
So, guys, stay tuned.
We're going to bring you guyssome more content here coming
soon and until then, you know,guys, as always, I always say
support the minor leagues.
All right guys, support theminor leagues, support the minor
leagues Bye.
Is anybody there?
Speaker 2 (00:10):
What's up you beautiful people, and welcome to
the final episode of theconversation that Val and I had
about content creation.
Now we're going to go oversocial media.
We're also going to go over acouple more things as far as
what we consider as great toolsfor content creation.
Again, you know we're not theexperts, but you know we have
been doing this for a little bit.
(00:30):
So I hope you enjoy this and,guys, without further ado, I'll
give you the episode I'm in thefuture.
What are your top three socialmedia platforms that you do not
met like this?
These are the ones that I gowith I'm gonna put instagram at
(00:52):
first.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Instagram number one, um number two, I guess tick
tock.
But tick tock is is tough,because it's like, okay, if
you're going to leave, then justleave.
I don't want to do this backand forth with you anymore.
And then Threads is another onefor me, because I have it set
(01:13):
up to where when I post onInstagram it automatically goes
to Threads.
So it's like that's one lessthing I have to do and it gives
me okay traction.
I wish I would do YouTube,though.
I really want youtube to bethere for me.
I really want that spark betweenme and youtube but it's not
there yet it's not there yetonly because it's like I post
too many videos that are notthree minutes long and I feel,
(01:36):
like on youtube, I don't likethose borders on the side of the
videos and you, those bordersgo away if your video is three
minutes or more.
My videos used to be that longwell, remember now three minutes
.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
You know that is so.
Your videos will fall under theshorts under three minutes.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Yeah, yeah, I know so , but it's like I, you know, I
don't know, I don't know, Idon't like shorts.
Do people watch shorts?
Speaker 2 (02:06):
yeah yeah oh yeah, I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
I also don't use youtube enough, so so.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
So for me it's instagram um youtube.
Okay, I'm going this year likethis year.
I decided that, like I was, wasgoing to go hard on on both
Instagram and YouTube, and it'spaid off, right.
Yeah, a humble brag, your boyjust finally hit a thousand on
Instagram you know, wow, yes.
(02:36):
I know.
So I was super pumped aboutthat.
So, like uh, I've been goinghard on Instagram and you see
it's fun because on Instagramyou can, it can can both.
If you do videos or things likethat green screen, you can put
it both strictly on uh, oreither just instagram or you can
put it on facebook and threadsoh yeah it will allow you to do
(02:59):
both.
So I'm like I, I hit the three,the trifecta, with all those
three.
So technically I should put, Ishould say meta is number one,
youtube and then Twitter.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
YouTube and then Twitter.
You know what I can't doTwitter I can't do it, I know.
I have it like my personal, butit's not very professional and
so none of them have been.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
none of them have been like, you know, like a
business, you know, uh, accounts.
Those are still all my personalaccounts, so I can do whatever
the heck I want.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
I can post whatever I want, Um so.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
And by professional I just mean like I show bias, I
show my bias, my team bias.
So, like you know, I'm aBroncos fan on my Twitter.
You know, I'm a Rangers fan andso, whereas Val else, where you
will really have to know me, toknow, or, I'm sorry, a stadium
food girl, you'll really have toknow who I am to know who my
teams are.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
You know, that's actually a good question.
That I wanted to ask you is,like, because obviously we both
have different teams that weroot for, um, but like we, we're
both working super hard to makeit.
In an industry right where youcannot show biases, yeah, and
that's hard.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Yeah, that's really hard it.
And what makes it even harderis, well, no, okay, fine, I'll
say it.
So I am a huge Broncos fan,which means I am not a very big
Raiders fan at all, at all, atall at all.
I don't, and I that's mytechnically.
That's my home stadium, and ifyou know me, you know that I'm
(04:41):
going to always at least have ahat of the team that I'm, you
know, doing this vlog for.
So except I've never done itfor the raiders.
So whenever I go to a raidersgame um, I will not wear
anything raiders, I'll wear mybronco stuff.
Um.
One time I went to a jetsraiders game during veterans um,
(05:01):
it was like veterans dayweekend and it was a salute to
service game and I wore an airforce hat, like I didn't even
wear a Raiders hat, you know,and so able to get away with it
because you were doing that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
However, I went to a Superbowlwatch party and I won a raffle
(05:21):
and what was in the bag?
A raiders t-shirt and a raidersfootball hat and shout out to
oak view group.
They are now the official likecatering company, food providers
of legion stadium and Iabsolutely love them.
They do great work, um withother stadiums that I've been to
, so I am going to show supportto the raiders.
(05:43):
This year, I am hoping to do amedia day with oakview group and
, of course, I'm not going to goto my broncos stuff.
So I think you know you can getaway at a raiders which is
wearing black yeah, yeah, yeah,yeah, um, but I don't have an
all black hat like with no logoon it get a 47 or a new era or
something like that.
(06:04):
Yeah, I guess I mean, I don'tmind the hat that I have, though
I didn't pay for it you know, Iwant it yeah, so I don't mind
it.
Look, I tell myself, I'm sodedicated to like my craft and
I'm so like I can push that Ican push the you know what
rivalry to the side and justclock in for a few hours and do
what I have to do.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
You're a better person than I am because when it
comes with a like for football,baltimore Ravens, nah yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
I get it.
No, I get it, but I tell myself, you know what?
I've got my personal Instagramwhere I can just let loose and
be who I am.
Not that I'm not who I am withstadium food girl, but I, you
know, I look at it as like a job, like I really do.
Look at stadium food girls likemy passion and, um, you know,
when you're clocked in, you'vegot, you've got to have a
certain mindset and so I'mtelling myself, right, like once
(06:55):
I walk into the arena, stadium,and I pull out my phone and my
lights, like I'm clocked in,like this is professional work
now, even though it's not,that's funny.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
You say that.
Let me ask you this when, whenyou started doing these vlogs,
how nervous were you?
Oh my gosh um and do you stillget nervous?
Speaker 1 (07:17):
oh I, you know what actually.
This is my thing.
And shout out to me working insales.
I will never do sales again.
But in sales I learned onething If you, if you sound like
you know what you're doing,other people are going to be
convinced that you know whatyou're doing.
I have no idea what I'm doingnow the fake it till.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
you make it.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Oh my God, a thousand percent.
Yeah, I remember one time, ornot one time.
A few months ago, I was inspring training and I didn't
have my mini mics and I wasdoing a POV of me getting my
stadium food girl angels Jerseymade, and I had my phone and I
was like, you know, talking tomy camera while walking to the
team store, and I, because Ididn't have my mics, I was like,
(07:57):
okay, oh, we are on our way tothe team store to get our.
You know, come with me, and Iwas talking so freaking loud and
I was on the concourse and Iwas like people were looking at
me and I was like looking at myphone, but my peripheral vision
could see people looking at mejust yelling on the concourse,
talking to my phone, and I wasso nervous.
(08:17):
But here's the thing too is likewhenever I see somebody like a
content creator out in the wild,I'm curious to see what the
video, what the end result, isgoing to look like.
Oh my God, yeah.
So in my head I'm like, maybethey like we'll find my video,
and they'll be like oh my God, Isaw her making that video,
though, so this is what it lookslike.
It came out good.
That's like my wish, yeahabsolutely.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Let me ask you, um, because you do you the you were
talking about earlier?
Because the reason why youdon't like using youtube, it's
just because it gives you thebars on the side.
So you you, you, you take yourvideo like you know, straight,
like this, not the 9x16 no, no,no, no, no no no, I do I do like
straight up, like what do theycall it portrait mode?
Speaker 1 (08:59):
portrait yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, landscape, not
landscape.
No, because I feel like I feellike it doesn't get everything.
And also, when I upload a videoon instagram that's landscape
mode, then it shows the bars umon the top and bottom yeah, I'm
not a bars person unless I'mlike drinking at a bar.
But, like the bars, I'm not abars person on the videos I, I
(09:22):
get that, I that I, I can seeit's.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
It's one of those things where it's just like oh,
you know, like I don't likedoing the bar, but yeah, I've
been doing a lot more of theportrait over landscape, uh,
with a lot of my videos, evenhere at home.
I even will set up my my uhtripod and everything, just so
that way I can have it on a onthat way, because it's that's,
(09:45):
you know, most of the stuff thatpeople watch.
The vast majority of the videoswhere people are watching are
not on a computer but on uh onthat way, because it's that's,
you know, most of the stuff thatpeople watch.
The vast majority of the videoswhere people are watching are
not on a computer but on uh on aphone and I feel like um uh
horizontal or I guess landscapeis more for like 30, minute, 40
minute long long format yeah,uh-huh yeah yep, where most of
(10:05):
the things that we're doing isthree minutes or less I feel
like tiktok really changed theattention span for us.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Oh you know.
So I feel like, becauseeveryone, whether you post your
tiktok on tiktok or not, you'remost you know you watch videos
on those short forms.
I learned that from tiktok yeah,well, yeah, I learned a short
form and then also um, I'm alsodoing those green screens and I
learned that from you yeah, Ilearned that from tick tock and
(10:35):
I and I noticed that, like, Iused to do five minute videos
and one of my friends, um, sheworks for a team and I'm not
gonna say her name because Idon't want to make her feel bad,
but it was one of the bestpieces of advice that she ever
gave me.
I went to Kansas City I feel sobad because I went to Kansas
City and I did a video, a vlogof our day, and it was a
(10:57):
seven-minute video.
I thought I know, I thoughtthat was a cool thing.
And then I asked her I was like, what did you think of this
video?
And she doesn't work for theRoyals, she works for another
team.
But I was like, what did youthink of this video?
Like, be completely honest withme, like, pretend you're hiring
me and you like really need meto do really well so that you
look like you did well, what isthe best advice you can give me?
(11:20):
She goes if I were you, I wouldhave taken that seven minute
video and made seven one minutevideos.
And I was like, oh my gosh,like yeah and so so, yeah, so
like these short takes, thesequick cuts almost like cutting
your sentence at the end, whenyou're saying a sentence like
people like that now and I wouldhave never known yeah, like I
(11:41):
don't do I like.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
When it comes to long form, it's either the podcast,
because I put the video onYouTube, or the live show.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Other than that, the rest of the stuff I make is less
than three minutes it has to beshort and I love to be very
informative and show a lot, butI realize like just get to the
point with these videos.
You know I hate it sometimes.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
I'm with you, but it's what it is.
It's what these videos, youknow.
I hate it sometimes.
I I I'm with you, but it butit's what it is is what people
like you know.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
So I understand, you know another thing I learned
because of tiktok taking a clipthat's almost like the meat and
the potatoes of your clip,duplicate it, drag it to the
front and then let that be yourintro.
Yeah, so like, let's say I'meating a very juicy burger, get
the three second clip of mebiting into the burger, the
(12:30):
juice dripping, duplicate it,move it to the front and then
like, hey, come with me to lasvegas ballpark to like eat this
burger.
Like, let that be like the hintor the thesis statement yes yes
yeah, it's the hook, the hook.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
You want to hook them and then, so they can see the
video 100%.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Are you sure you're doing that?
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Yep, I do that on the podcasts that we do.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yes, you do this one that we're doing right now.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I do that with that, Like you know, I put the hook at
the beginning, right, andthat's what it is.
But, like I don't do that, I'mlearning as I go, Right.
So I'm really getting into thegreen screen because it's really
working out for me, and and and.
So I'm trying to work on thatand then move on to the next
thing and learn which, I mean,this is an evolving thing.
(13:17):
When it comes to social media,when it comes to content
creation, you're always learningnew things.
I know it's everything.
Every week is somethingdifferent.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
So yeah, it's scary, but I really like the green
screen.
I want to encourage more peopleto use green screen because it
really is a way for you to talkabout it without being there in
person.
I'm going to do a quick like.
There's a team that I requestedvideos from.
I guess I can say the nameShout out Hub City, spartan
(13:47):
Burgers.
Requested videos from, I guessI can say the name shout out hub
city, spartan burgers.
I told them to send me a videoor photos of their burger
toppings bar because apparentlythere's 101 toppings.
It is the largest burgertopping topping bar like I don't
know if it's like in the nationor in all of baseball, whatever
, but I was like you guys haveto send me photos of this and I
straight up told them I want tomake a green screen for this.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
So they're supposed to send me some photos and so I
just think photos are greatshout out to the spartan burgers
they're sending, they send me,they're going to be sending me a
hat.
Um, oh yeah, remember thatwhole thing where you know the
previous spartan burgers where Ibought a hat and they never
said that to me.
So they're like, we're gonnamake it right even though it
wasn't us.
We're gonna make it right.
(14:26):
So shout out to them you knowthat's cool, that was cool we
need the unboxing that's whatone of the I was just gonna say
is like unboxing videos.
That's another one.
Right like if you're able to Ilove them I love doing unboxing,
but you got to do it right.
You can't do it the whole longthing.
I learned that, like you know,just cut out, like when you're
(14:47):
opening, and all that, get allthat fluff out of there.
Cut when there's a this is bookI'm listening to right now.
Um, uh, shout out to audibleman, I, I listen to books.
I don't read them, uh.
But it's just like you know,when you, when you're done
editing, go back again andre-edit and start cutting.
Yes, because, yes, you're gonnacut so much crap out.
(15:08):
Yes, it's, it's insane how muchstuff I cut out that's no
longer, that doesn't need to bethere oh my gosh, just having
conversations with yourself thatnobody else is gonna care about
.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
That's literally me.
I posted a video yesterday ofme at the time of this,
recording of me opening up somebaseball beer bats from
coopersburg sports freaking.
Shout out to coopersburg sportsand their beer bats I think the
video total was like eightminutes and then I think I cut
it down to a minute 47 or twominutes and 47 yo, wow, yeah,
(15:44):
that's a cut.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I waslooking like ew who's gonna
listen to this conversation withme?
Speaker 2 (15:52):
my goal right now is less than three minutes.
You know what for instagram isless than three minutes on
instagram, um, on on youtube, uh, is less than three minutes for
your shorts, your long form, soyou gotta have an even even
amount on that.
So I do a do a little bit ofeverything.
So if you guys are, you knowI'll say this if you guys are
(16:14):
doing YouTube, make sure youdownload the YouTube studio app.
It gives you a lot ofinformation there, like you know
your trends.
It gives you all of this stuff,right, um, that I never really
thought about.
Uh, for example, it gives yousome of like you know the tags
that you can use, all of that.
So I'm telling you it's worthdownloading that one for sure.
(16:38):
So uh, yeah I did switch up myum.
My instagram is on the.
I think it's the professional.
Now for instagram, I have aprofessional difference because
of the um information that givesyou you know, I mean all the
(17:00):
insights it's.
It's absolutely wonderful, yeah,like I mean you can tell, like
your views, your watch time, uh,your interactions, uh if people
are following you because ofthat video.
So, yeah, it gives you a lot ofinformation, like from like
who's watching the videofollowers versus non-followers
always right, yeah, that's whatI'm I.
(17:21):
I need to get better at when itcomes to like data.

Don't be Val.
Don't be Val.
She's creating her own mediapass.
I'm the general manager.
Yeah, by the way, I'm the GM.
Now.
I don't know if you know this.
Go get me some fries I got togo make a video.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
I've had crayons written my name.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Right, like it's even off on the lines and everything
, yeah, so, but yeah, I guessthose are really the tips I got
for you guys as far as contentcreator.
What else?
Speaker 1 (21:59):
You got anything else , take as much as you can and
when editing, think about it asfrom a viewer perspective.
Am I gonna get bored watchingthis?
Is all this extra fluff that Ibecause I I scroll when it comes
to extra fluff and so I tellmyself, if I'm scrolling with
those videos, I know my videosare gonna get scroll.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Somebody's gonna scroll through mine.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Right, right, right.
So I Basically you know, um,are there?
Okay, I have a question.
One more question Are therethree content creators that you
follow that you like learn theirstrategy, whether it's baseball
or not?
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Well, obviously I follow you.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
That's how I got to learn a lot of your stuff.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
So, oh, crying, I'm crying yeah, I know, I mean I
learned a lot from you.
Be honest, I'm gonna be honestwith about that.
Like I learned a lot from you.
Like I mean I'm always askingyou like you know, hey, what do
you think about doing this, or Imean doing something like this,
and you're always giving meinfo.
So, uh, I do that.
Um, there is these two guysthat I followed.
They used to they're like theydo crossfit, but like they do a
(23:03):
lot of their.
They do a lot of uh filming allthat.
It's called buttery bros.
That's a good one to followokay they do a lot of cool.
They teach you how to edit andeverything too, like they've
done a couple of episodes onediting, but they do some.
They do vlogging right, so it'slike what I want to get into
more and they do a really goodjob when it comes to that, uh.
(23:26):
Third one I gotta think aboutthis one because I follow a lot
of people.
I follow a lot of lego people.
That also, um, they do a reallygood job with um, showing you
like the camera from up top okayputting it together and all
that.
So that's something I kind ofwanted to do.
(23:46):
When I do an unboxing, put acamera up top oh yeah I can see,
they can see what I'm opening.
So like I haven't done that yet, but I I think I'm.
I have a hat here, a box, Imight do that okay, very nice
what about you?
Speaker 1 (24:00):
I think for me, my three, not in order.
My good friend forkingaroundtvmentioned him earlier.
Shout out, daniel.
He has taught me a lot with theoverlays.
He's very good at overlays,very good at it, and I think
because of what I've learnedthrough him, I've learned to cut
(24:20):
out a lot of the fluff and justhave two videos in one.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Essentially, my second.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
You're able to remove the audio from the one video
and then just do the you knowwithout having that, without
having that video, plus an extravideo with the voiceover, um, I
think my second one would beanita's um foodie.
Um, oh gosh, what's his name?
Anita's foodie?
His name is anita's, he's basedout of denver and I like him
(24:49):
because actually I anita's thefoodie and he does a lot of like
just eating in front of thecamera, just opening it up and
taking and eating, and just notreal fast, but like he just gets
to the point when it comes tohis videos.
So I've learned how to get tothe point with my eating videos.
I will say a video that Irecently posted, I learned I did
(25:11):
kind of with his strategy.
Um, it was a video that I thisone right here, the um sugarland
burger that I did last week.
Yeah, I feel like he, I learneda lot of his strategy with this
video really and then, I think,a third person that, like I
really um.
(25:33):
This one we didn't really touchon, but I feel like not editing
out and not making it look soperfect.
Alex Earl, but like you knowwho she is right.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Mm-mm.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Okay, she's like this huge TikTok star and she's so
successful.
She's approaching 8 millionfollowers on TikTok and she's so
successful because she leavesno, I wouldn't say she leaves in
the fluff, but she leaves likethe raw footage, um and doesn't.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
She is perfect and I feel like I feel like I spend so
much time trying to make itlook perfect and then it never
gets posted and then that's myfault some of the best things,
that it's one of the best videosthat I've had better traction
with are the ones where I'm justlike me, right, you know say
fuck it, yeah, and it works itworks.
(26:22):
Yeah, the ones that you don'tthink about that will go are the
ones that go viral and the onesthat you spend a bunch of time
trying to get it, make sure thatit's perfect, and all that are
the ones that are like 12 years.
Yeah, that too like son of abitch I know I'm gonna go cry, I
know right I put all this work,you know, and I'm like whatever
it is, what it is, but at leastthe other day of me at a bar at
(26:46):
a lacrosse game.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
I filmed it at the bar and I cut it at the bar.
Mind you, I only had one drinkand I cut and posted it before I
finished my one drink.
I think it hit 1.3 million ShitOn Instagram.
Yeah, it was the one that hadthe frozen ice where you can
chill your glass on the ice andI'm like this bar is living in
2050.
I literally recorded it, cut it, posted, added the music at the
(27:11):
bar.
I had my phone like this, atthe bar trying to choose a good
song and by the time I closedout my tab at the bar trying to
choose a good song and by thetime I closed out my tab, it was
already posted the next day wasalready at a million.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Fuck, I gotta, you, gotta teach me your, your ways,
obi-wan, because 1.3 yeah, yeah,yeah it's.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
If you scroll down, it was posted in what month are
we in?
End of april, I think.
It was posted like beginning ofmarch or yeah.
So that one, I literally postedit.
And then the hot dog video thatI posted.
The first time I posted it ithit just under 10 million views.
I filmed it in the kitchen andI posted it in the kitchen at
(27:47):
the Rangers game.
No like what, no thought wentinto it.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
But, man, I tell you, some of these vlogs that I post
, it's like they take me threedays to post and I'm just like,
oh yay, 20 views, that's so coolI love the ups and downs of
social media is so wild yeahyeah, I should do a study on
that, because it is absolutelywild how like yeah, you know
like it's you go from like likeyou were saying, like you've got
(28:16):
all these views, and thenyou're like 20 views later on.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
This one right here.
This one hit 1.2.
And literally it's like 10seconds long.
But because it didn't take methat long to, it was a 10-second
video, it better not take me,that's insanity.
Yeah, so well, yeah, 1.2million.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Unreal.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
And I had no thought, like no thought went into it.
But then I posted all the hotdog options the day after it.
Only just under 2,000 views, ohman, and that one obviously
took some effort and a lot ofeating.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
So Okay, well, that good for you.
Damn it it.
I'm trying to get to your level.
That's what I.
That's my new goal in liferight now.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
It's get to your level less thinking, more
posting, and I don't payattention to a lot of the game
when I'm there.
So so, like I, a lot of thetime I'm just paying to paying
for the experience.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
I don't even pay attention to the game a lot when
I'm posting it's funny becauseI usually don't so, but
attention to the game a lot whenI'm posting.
It's funny because I usuallydon't, so what I'm going to?
Yeah, well, I'm going to putsome stuff on there.
