Episode notes

I was just like, I'm going to try and make money off YouTube and TikTok because I already had a following. But then he was like, Oh, you can work for my company. And so then I moved to that. You know, it was more like, okay, you could do shit for yourself. So the way to come up with ideas is just pace your phone and write them down when they fall upon your head. That's what the rap video was like to me. I hate that video because I'm like, like, that's just me doing the formula of the last video.

Sean Millea is a comedian, filmmaker, and creator.
