Look I'm not unemployed. Okay,yeah, living with my you know,
I'm a twitch streamer. I streamonline, Like that's how I make

(03:45):
my money. That is my job. This isn't an issue with me,
you know, loser playing video gamesat home. This is me. This
is like, I'm a winning dude. I make money playing video games.
That's like once in a lifetime stuff. Like, you know, dude,
just doing what I do for aliving eight hours a day. I get
a live stream going there's thousands ofpeople watching me do my thing like I'm
popular. I'm making it happen outhere. I can't then I don't have

(04:09):
a job. That's insane. Allright, hold on, Okay, So
I get so, Sarah, Idon't know if are you understanding the Sarah?
He says he's making money streaming videogames in his mom's house, in
his childhood bedroom. Look, it'svideo games. You really can't be making
that much. The thing is,I'm not a loser, bro, Like
I just made two hundred and fiftydollars yesterday. Were eating a bowl of

(04:30):
mustard. That's what I did liveon stream, Like guys gave me to
do that. That's not losing stuff. I don't think there's anything luver about
that. I ate a bowl ofFrankship for three hundred dollars. Who's doing
that? That's winner? It's winter. That does not sound like a winner
to me. Wow, very interesting, Ben, very interesting. So so
Sarah, Now that Ben has describedto you what he does, like eats

(04:53):
a bowl of mustard and plays avideo game against three hundred dollars, are
you interested? Like? If youwant to go in a second day and
I'll pick up the tab and payfor it. No, I'm sorry,
that's no, that's just so grossto me. I don't understand how you
could be making money off of that, especially enough to get out of your

(05:13):
mom's house. Clearly you're not makingenough. I mean, yo, she
got good internet? Why would Ileave? Do you get help? Do
you get health benefit? I mean? Or is it just is this just
what you do? I am soconfused. I mean no, I don't
get like insurance or anything like thatout of it. But like, but

(05:33):
I mean I don't need health benefits. I'm so healthy. You were to
say, I ate a bowl ofmustard yesterday, I mean good health.
Wait, so do you like takebreaks from gaming? Or like does your
mom bring you up snacks? Shesometimes brings me up snacks, but like
that, come on, that's sometimesshe can't hear me shout at her to
bring me to snacks, so likeI have to go get it myself.

(05:54):
But like most of the time shebrings me snacks coming, so like there's
no reason for me to leave.Like it's it's a good system. We
got. Let's all help pay bills, I help, hey writ and stuff.
Like I gave her twenty five bucksthe other night for the internet bills,
so like I'm paying, I'm helpful, and like this is crazy to
me, looks like I just Idon't understand how you're judging how I make
my money, Like it doesn't evenmatter. At the end of the date,
I need took you out on thedate and we sot a great time.

(06:15):

guy out there right now, becauseI would love to stay at home and
play video games all day and you'remaking money. No, see what I'm
saying. Thank you brothers, stickup for it. Because that's the thing
is that I'm out here doing somethingspecial and I feel good about it.
