of the season. Like when I pull up, I get banned like three days before it, every month.
Every month it never fails. It's like they know something's up or it's like my highest interaction day.

You know what I'm saying? I'm actually pulling up. I get banned every single time.
Instagram, just they take everything from me, bro. I suck.
Which is my biggest platform. Yeah.

Okay, guys. Cleveland legend.
We got Mr. Put a Girl on.
Put a girl on.

Let's go. How long you been doing that? Dude,

July 12th will be one full year. Oh, it's not even a year.
Yeah, not even a a year. Coming up on a year.
I feel like it took off quick then, huh? I know, yeah, definitely.

Yeah, within like the first like two weeks, it just started going fucking crazy. Usually it takes a lot more time and momentum to build something like that.
Yeah, definitely.

I wasn't expecting it at all, you know. Crazy.
Were you doing it before you even started filming it?

Like one or two calls, maybe.

It was like the night I had my kid, and the hospital bed was like so small, and they didn't give us anything to sleep in. So my girlfriend was like, just go home or whatever.

And it was just me and my boy because he was watching my house that's when we did the first call yeah and um yeah we did a few and then we posted it just starting at like day eight

and then uh yeah around like day 15 day 16 it just started going fucking crazy what was that company that you called on that day it was taco bow taco season yeah yeah taco was the legendary season bro how long did that streak last

So we do 30 day long seasons. That was like the only season that we did 40 days.
Damn. Just because we didn't, you know, have it structured out.
We were just going, just doing whatever.

And the reactions were so priceless from them. They were just freaking out.
Was it the same guy every time when you called?

There was this one special character, I'd say, that answered the phone the most. And he was the one I would try to get all the time.

And I actually, I had a boy that like found the page and he's like, yo, I work at that exact, or I used to work at that exact Taco Bell. And he sent me the schedule of all the employees.
Oh, my gosh.

So like I knew when that dude was working and like the times he was working. So I tried to catch him like every night.
That's hilarious. But he was like the best one out of that season for sure.

Did he call the cops? No, surprisingly, uh, no, they never called the cops for the talking bell season. Usually, the fast food doesn't call the cops.
I guess they don't care, right?

Yeah, yeah, they're getting paid like seven an hour. Like, why are they gonna call the cops over this? For sure, and they're freaking out with the threats, too.
You know what I'm saying?

They threaten me a lot, so it's illegal on both ends, you know. So, yeah, so if they rat, they're ratting on themselves, yeah, yeah, 100%.

that's wild what's the craziest threat you got

uh i get a lot of uh pretty sus threats like people are gonna clap my cheeks and stuff like that

but um

i i don't know honestly probably probably the more so like just sus threats like that yeah people want to just sexually do things to me bro i don't know why but it's weird that that's their first response i know i know it's not like let's throw hands let's let's get in the bedroom

let's get them in the bedroom right now It's so wild. Yeah, it's cooked.

Now people are catching on, though, right? It's getting harder. Oh, yeah, for sure.
100%. It went so mainstream, I feel like.

Yeah, there's been there's been seasons we had to like forfeit out of for like season desist, and there's been seasons we had to forfeit out of just because

day three, you know, they just know. And it's like more so they're not getting mad.
They're just like either just hanging up over and over again. Yeah.

And that's me calling like 15, 20 times and just getting hung up on over and over again.

So there have been seasons we had to forfeit just because, yeah, yeah when it got so big um everybody just started catching on do you change the number every time you call um yeah i i have three phones for it basically and then we use like like burner apps and stuff um or i just star 67 it all the time but there have been times where i've star 67 it and then like they've called me back like how star six nine or something i was confused by oh i did one off my girl's phone for the rb season And

30 seconds later, they're just calling me back. I'm like, block the number right now.
Damn, I didn't know they could do that. I had no idea either.
It blew me away.

I was just like, what is going on here? Holy crap. That's scary, actually.
Yeah, definitely. I used to love prank calls as a kid, but I stopped when I prank called the cops.
Yeah. Yeah.

They showed up to my mom's house and I was like, yeah, I'm never doing it again. Yeah, that's basically where all this came from.

It's like when we were in like middle school and high school, everybody used to prank call. You know what I'm saying? And I feel like now it's easier to track it and stuff like that.

But it's harmless. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.
To an extent. But I guess you did get arrested though, right? Yeah.
Or was that fake? I didn't know. No, no, I did get arrested.

It was for the car dealership season.

Yeah, the police station had called me and was like, come down here and talk to us. We're going to put out a warrant.
I'm just like, I'm not coming down there. So I consulted with my lawyers.

They're like, don't go. You know what I'm saying?

So, yeah, we were shooting one of those oil down videos with Bald Guy AI. And just got pulled over.
I ended up having a warrant out of there. Damn.

This was in Cleveland? Yeah, yeah, in Rocket River, like suburbs out of Cleveland. But

yeah, they arrested me like right then and there kept me and uh I'm still fighting the court case I just went uh last week to my first pre-trial and they're just like getting trying to get me to cop out to something I just keep saying though wow so what was the charge though uh impersonating a police officer because I said my name was detective dodge durango oh wow is that enough to be considered that like just saying detective they're like trying to drop it more so because i said my name was a car you know what i'm saying like dodge durango is a car i said i was from the passat police department which is also a car, you know what I'm saying?

Oh, it wasn't even a real PD. No, no, it was just complete, a complete joke, you know what I'm saying?

Yeah, um, but they're more so saying, like, I called four or five times, like, acting like local officers, all that stuff. Yeah, they're just trying to can me, you know what I'm saying?

Yeah, I could see like harassment, maybe, but yeah, that's what uh, the prosecutor was saying, is like, why didn't we take the low-hanging fruit and just get them for telecommunications harassment, other than impersonating the police officer?

Um,

but I mean, yeah, it's just, it blows my mind sometimes too, because when I was in the courthouse waiting to go to my first pretrial, I mean, the prosecutor came up to me while I was in the waiting room and was like, I don't think I'm ever going to get this chance again.

Like, just wanted to say I'm a huge fan and like shook my hand. And then there's lawyers walking past me, you know what I'm saying? Like saying, what's up, shaking my hand.
And

it's just a big joke, but I feel like with the court system, they got to nab you for something. They're not just going to let you go.
You know what I'm saying? Yeah.

Yeah, they're petty like that for sure.

have you gotten like banned anywhere any locations

um i'm banned from walmart um

and yeah i don't eat fast food anymore just in the sense of like i was doing it when i go through the drive-through i'm like hood up glasses on you know what i'm saying because i i've i've like hit so many spots locally you know what i'm saying they're gonna spin your food yeah 100 100 over and over again and i'm not dealing with that especially in cleveland there's no way damn so you had to give up fast food that's that kind of sucks though

It was good. It was good.
I'm on my

thinning up boy shit, but

Walmart, though, huh? Is that nationwide or just the Cleveland one? It's just the Steelyard one, which is, I mean, it's already rated like number one worst Walmart in America. Jeez.
Steelyard Walmart.

People just steal. Is that why it's called though? Yeah, I mean, there's like a whole thing about it and stuff.

It's just like the service. There's nothing there.
It's just like a, I don't even know. It's basically like being in a purgatory.
It's a fucked up place. Peace.
I gotta check out some videos of that.

Oh, yeah, it's cooked. If you look up Steel Yard Walmart, they'll come right up.
I feel like a lot of Walmarts and Targets, they lock up stuff now. Just even in rich neighborhoods, 100%.

It's not the same anymore. Everything is locked up.
Like, it's so annoying because no one's nearby, and you gotta press the button and wait like five minutes.

Like when they had the Tide Pods locked up, yeah, everywhere. Oh, that was wild.
It wasn't like 10 bucks. Crazy era, yeah.
I thought when they were eating them and stuff. Oh, yeah.
It was right.

I didn't get on that wave. Yeah, no, no, me either.
Sound me. I did the ice bucket wave.
That one was tough. Yeah.
The Tide Pods, nah,

fuck it.

So you're going to change up the script since people are catching on. Like, you just start saying something else? Yeah.
I mean, I try to reel them in. You know what I'm saying? With things like that.

I like, sometimes I'll call and, you know,

when I do call, I'll call like five, 10, 15 times. You know what I'm saying? So.

There are points where I get like older people that don't have social media that don't know who I am. You know what I'm saying?

But if I get the younger kids, they know off rip. Damn.

that's a bummer. I feel like most of the people working there are pretty young.
Oh, yeah, for sure. Then you get the occasional old cat in there that's the crash out, you know, and it works well.

Are you going to do some IRL stuff like streaming or

we're on Twitch right now?

We have been for a minute, but it's just basically out of the house. And I'm just doing like, you know, custom prank calls and you know, prank calls in general.
We used to run a live show on Mondays.

But definitely want to get into the IRL more just like trolling

stores and stuff like that, doing the day 30s live.

and um yeah just interacting with everybody as best as i can that's where my brain goes because i'm thinking like how do you monetize this yeah and i feel like streaming is where the money's at it definitely is yeah i mean cameo i do uh very well on cameo people use cameo still yeah wow bro it's like i didn't know that yeah i mean cameo does pretty well instagram pays decent tick tock's cool you know But Twitch is definitely where the money's at for sure.

I don't get shit off IG, bro. Really? Yeah.
Do you not do that New Year's bonus thing? Nah. They have sign up up for it bro it's what cheese yeah

uh how does it work it's basically just they give you like a two-week window uh where you can get paid off your interactions so i mean it does good if you go viral you do like two million views you'll get like a thousand bucks damn what yeah i got the tri-light from therisage is no joke medical grade red and near infrared light with three frequencies per light deep healing real results and totally portable it's legit photo bio modulation tech in a flexible on body panel this is the tri-light from Therasage and it's next level red light therapy.

It's got 118 high-powered polychromatic lights, each delivering three healing frequencies, red and near-infrared, from 580 to 980 nanometers.

It's sleek, portable, and honestly, I don't go anywhere without it. Do that after this episode.
Sign up for it. Dude, I'm going to get 100 million views a month.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying, bro.

Holy shit. I'm only running like, yeah, like 30 million like a month right now, but I mean, it pays good.

Versus, you know, like I said, I get banned so much that they shut my monetization off at least once a month. Yeah, I did want want to ask you about that.

How often are you getting banned on every platform? A lot. Pretty much every week.
Yeah, I get banned right before the day 30

of the season. Like when I pull up, I get banned like three days before it every month.
Every month. It never fails.
It's like they know something's up or it's like my highest interaction day.

You know what I'm saying? I'm actually pulling up. And I get banned every single time.
TikTok, I don't really get banned that much, surprisingly. They'll like mute some of my videos.

You know what I'm saying? But Instagram, just they take everything from me, bro. That sucks, which is my biggest platform.
Yeah, IG is my biggest. I would be heartbroken if they lost that one.

Yeah, TikTok. I mean, I get some views, but yeah, nothing crazy.

To be honest, bro, I wish they would have taken TikTok away. Yeah, I wouldn't mind.
I could go without TikTok.

Same. I was like, right when they were taking it away, I'm like, let's go.
You know what I'm saying? Like, I don't even DM people on TikTok or YouTube

for much. So, ever, bro.
Shit. IG, you got to hit up Zuckerberg and get that verification bags, man.
Oh, my boy Zucky. I got to figure it out.
That's fucked, bro. What if you prank called him?

Give me the number.

Yeah, that'd be wild. He would perma ban you.
Yeah. I find him though.

Call the Chinese food restaurant. They send you a seasoned assist.
Yeah. We'll have them with that one.
Yeah.

We kept calling the same one over and over and over again.

And yeah, they just send it through the mail. And I mean, I've tapped in with them after that.
I'll let it ride for a month or so. Yeah.
But that's the second or third seasoned assist we got.

We got one from Hot Topic as well,

which in my mind, it's like the

retail places. I completely understand sending the season assist because I feel like retail workers care about their job more than a McDonald's or any fast food place.
You know what I'm saying?

The Chinese one was pretty unexpected, but they were probably just fucking over it. You know what I'm saying? But the retail places definitely care more about their jobs to send those out.

which I was surprised that Walmart didn't send on our way either.

Damn. Did that Chinese restaurant even speak English? Why'd they they get so busy? No, they did.
It was just, I was calling them like way too much.

It's like I was, I would do like, I would do it until I could get the reaction. So I'm calling the Chinese spot like 30 times a day, you know what I'm saying, to get the bit.

But yeah, I mean, that was just the one Chinese spot. I call this other one on stream that's like incredible.
She's a crash out every single time. Shout out Ming Moon.

Oh my God. What's the best reaction that you remember? Probably Jay from Taco Bell.
The original one, huh? The original one. Yeah, the OG season was crazy.
I mean, that dude was a psychopath. Like,

I wish I could meet him, bro. Yeah.
I think about him all the time. Has anyone ever tried to meet you in person?

From the restaurants? From the calls, yeah? No. No.

I guess.

You're docs now that you've been arrested, right? Yeah, for sure.

100%. I mean, the fans were commenting, like, my trial date and, like, all this stuff in the comments.
And I mean, they just get whatever information they have on them.

They love getting info and just just putting it out there, bro, all the time. Yeah.

Were you trying to be low-key about the arrests or you were just like, no, I was posting it because it was so stupid. You know what I'm saying?

Like, it was the stupidest thing in the world to getting arrested for that.

It blew my mind because, like, I had a lot of legal troubles when I was younger. Like, when I was 18, 19, that was like, you know,

actual stuff, just being dumb and young. So going from that to, you know, getting arrested for Detective Dodge Durango is just kind of out of this world for me.

Like, yeah, you've been arrested for actual problems and then

I didn't see that coming. No, no, not this time.
That's why when they called me and they're like, come down, or we're going to put a warrant on. I'm like, yeah, okay.
You know what I'm saying? Jeez.

Like, no big deal. Whatever.
That's nuts. But it was stupid.
I just want to get it over with. Washed.
So, you're going to move out of Cleveland?

Eventually, I'd like to.

My family's in Cleveland. My son is about to turn one.
So

I kind of want to get him a little older before we

relocate. Yeah.
I just don't hear of any activities out there or much,

bro. I went for summer or not summer, NBA something, like a few years ago.
Yeah. All-star game, I think.
Yeah, the

All-Star weekend. And it was fucking cold, bro.
Yeah. Busted ass on ice.
I was like, I'm never coming back here. Yeah, it sucks, bro.
It's definitely like a forgotten city.

And it's like, I got mad haters in Cleveland. Yeah.
You know what I'm saying? How did it get there? Like, I'm assuming it wasn't always like that in Cleveland. What?

How did it get to become the forgotten city?

I don't know. I mean, I guess, I mean, there's more people going there.
You know what I'm saying? There's no traffic. You know what I'm saying? You could get point A to B fast.

It's have its ups, but it's just like in my realm of like creating, like, there's no other creators there, you know, at least not anyone that's big enough I could work with.

Yeah, it's just kind of slow. I feel like it's just me over there.
Yeah, I don't know anyone over there. Yeah, that's what you were saying.
Yeah, I just luckily know on.

I guess when LeBron left, he took a lot of business out of Cleveland.

Yeah, for sure. Cabs are probably bringing in a ton of money.
100%. Yeah, I was.

I'm originally from Florida. I moved to Cleveland when I was like four.

And then I moved back to Florida when I was twenty one for like a year and then just came back. It keeps dragging me back.
Damn. So you like it more than Florida? Yeah, definitely.
Yeah.

I'm not really in Florida either. Miami?

I've never been to Miami. I'm from uh St.
Petersburg. Okay.
Yeah. I heard of it.
Is it more of a slower retirement city? Yeah, kinda. Yeah.
It's like closer to Tampa too. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.

Florida if you're in the wrong city is just old people. Yeah, 100%.
I feel like Miami is younger. Yeah.
I couldn't live there though.

I'm not not a big partier. Yeah, no way.
Are you? No, no,

I definitely used to be, but I've slowed down since I had a family and been running the business and stuff like that. Yeah.
So, can't afford it. This business or this business.
Oh, yeah.

So, you got a full team with you? Yeah. Yeah, for sure.
How do you come up with all the creative ideas and everything? Do you just brainstorm?

Yeah, I mean, what I want to ask them, I have like a whole notepad that I write down of just like ideas, what I want to ask them, what I think would piss them off, you know what I'm saying?

What we're going to do for the day 30, stuff like that.

But yeah, I mean,

yeah, it's just, yeah, it's, it's fucked, bro. It's an interesting space, man, because

it's like you constantly have to be doing crazier, crazier things to get views. Yeah.
And then you end up like Vitali or that one guy in Asia.

It's like, shit, is that worth it? Yeah, definitely not. I mean, running into the legal situations doesn't really bother me that much.

Running into a situation like, you know, he's in, what's he facing, like 25 years or something? Something like that. He's in the worst jail in the world.
Yeah, he lost like 50 pounds. I know.

I say, I seen that reference picture. That was fucked.
It's rough. Yeah.
And the U.S. denied taking him back.
Yeah. It's crazy.

Yeah, see, I think that, you know, you do have to make the ideas get like crazier and crazier and crazier.

But it's like, I'm trying to do my best to keep it in a spectrum of like, you know, I'm not

incredibly disrespecting someone or hurting anyone. You know what I'm saying?

I feel like with comedy, it's like

there's like a fine line with it.

So it's just like, you know, I feel like with what we do, I get DMs all the time, like, you know, thank you for the laughs, or I just went through a breakup, or, you know, I've been so depressed.

It's the first thing that made me laugh, just pulled me out of bed, which is, it's crazy because, like, you know, when I first started it, I'm just like, oh, we're just doing like this stupid stuff, you know what I'm saying?

Whatever, whatever. And then I started like interacting with the fans more and more.
And it's like, a laugh goes a long way. You know what I'm saying?

No, for sure, bro. Yo, I'm pretty hard to get a laugh out of, honestly, but your shit made me laugh.
So, well done, yeah, thank you. Yeah, I usually don't get phased by videos, yeah, yeah.

Something about how you do it, I guess. I think because, like, it's never been seen, too, yeah, like other people weren't really posting that, yeah, no, for sure.

People were doing it, but no one was actually posting it. It like used to be like an old thing with like the jerky voice and like all those other uh comedians that were doing stuff like that.

So, I feel like I brought something back from like a minute ago, you brought everyone's childhood back, yeah, and that's what everything's recycled, so it's like, but I didn't even know I was doing it, you know what I'm saying?

Yeah, Yeah. I was like making music and all that stuff beforehand.
And then I had my kid and it just, yeah, it went crazy.

Music space, a tough space to penetrate, too. For sure.

What type of music were you? I was rapping. Rapping.
Yeah. Were you any good? I mean, yeah, I had a good following.
I had some good features from some people and stuff, too.

The scene is just like not for me. You know what I'm saying? It's kind of just like...

Everyone's just climbing over each other. Anyone will do whatever they can to get, you know, ahead of you.
And

it's kind of just a dirty game you know what i'm saying 100 everyone i talk to in that space is miserable yeah 100 bro and it's like it comes with a lot of just problems yeah that i don't need so you didn't even have like a plan when you started doing this you just kind of went day by day oh yeah we just started it i mean i kind of did i was like you know i met with like you know everyone i was making music with i was like this isn't working we need to do something else you know what i'm saying like it's like what are we gonna rap for the rest of our lives like whatever whatever i still have some homies that still make music and they're good and they're passionate about them so ups to them, you know what I'm saying?

But it was just like, you know, the world doesn't like care about that shit. Like, the world wants like

that brain rot, shock factor that's like in your face, like, you know, short-term videos that are just like so fried that just, you know, you want to watch them over and over and over again.

So I'm like, yo, let's go to a Taylor Swift show, and everybody wears a shirt that says Taylor Swift sucks dick or like Taylor Swift pops perks, you know what I'm saying?

And stand out there in all the same fit, black pants, black shoes, black glasses, just anything to get eyes on you. You know what I'm saying?

Because it's like once you have the, you know, the eyes on you, you can do whatever you want with it. Yeah.
As long as you're keeping it, you know, fresh and not going stagnant, basically.

Yeah, attention is currency these days. 100%.
Yeah, the best artists aren't the most talented. For sure.

They're just going to get eyeballs. Yeah.
Or they have a lot of money behind them. And that's like a lot of the thing with the music now, too.

It's like, you know, there are people blowing up that like the music is like 20% of it. It's like the image.
Yep.

You know, how they look, what they're doing, what they're talking about, this, that, and the third. So I feel like 6ix9ine was like the start of that era.
Oh, yeah, dude.

I mean, that dude just blew up. That was like 2016, or like 2016, 2017, when like music was in its prime.
It was like that SoundCloud scene where everyone was just popping off.

Yeah, the double XL days when it actually mattered. They just released the list yesterday.
I didn't even know a single person.

Even the past four years, I don't know a single person on that list. Yeah, no.
But the Lil Yachty year, I can name like all those guys. Yeah, like the one with Dickie and like Uzi and stuff.

Those were like the legendary.

That cypher was

that's the best cypher I've ever seen. I don't know if those were actually freestyles, but they killed it.
Yeah. It's been cool, though.
I mean, it's put me in opportunities. Like we

got invited to go to that boss man D'Lo show in like 1900 rug rat in Cleveland. Nice.
And

I mean, yeah, we were backstage and it was cool. We got to like meet D'Lo and everybody.
D'Lo was trying to take pictures of me. I just turned him down.
Toughly. I had to.
I had to for the culture.

You know what I'm saying?

But yeah, it's cool. I mean, it's put me in a lot of, you know, good rooms.
I was out here

last year because Sean Bloom, you know who Sean Bloom is? Yeah, the billionaire? Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was a fan, and he had us come out to go to his dad's birthday party and stuff, which was cool.

That was my first time out here.

But yeah, I mean, it's put me in good rooms, and it's like, you know,

it's good, bro. I'm grateful for what I'll be doing, you know? Yeah.

That's awesome, man. Soon MGK is going to hit you up for MGK Day to come out.
We'll see. We'll see.
Cleveland's not a fan of me, bro. I'm telling you.
You got a lot of enemies in Cleveland. For sure.

For sure. Especially when I blew up, it just became way worse.
You know what I'm saying? Yeah.

Man, you got to move smart out there. I know, for sure.

I work out. I stay in the house.
I make content and I raise my kid. You know what I'm saying? Your whole body.
What are you doing? Yeah, for sure. You're going to send your kid to public school.

I don't know. I'm not.
I don't know. Probably not.
Yeah. That's what I think about now, too, because it's just like, you know, what's the world going to be like in 10 years? Like,

it's going to be crazy. Yeah.
AI.

I know. That's why I'm like.
I'm using AI AI every day. I just found a new one yesterday.
I've been on it all morning. Yeah.
Perplexity. I haven't heard of it.

You haven't messed around with any AI yet? No. No, I haven't.
You'd use it for creating video ideas. Yeah.
Really good.

I've seen like the ones that like, yeah, can like help you do it with the videos and stuff too, but I've never used it. Yeah, it's nuts.
Like, I find guests with it.

I find questions to ask guests on it. It does like everything at this point.
It's crazy. I need to get hip.
Yeah, it's fire. I don't fuck with the robots, bro.
Oh, you don't like it?

I mean, I'm not, it's not that I don't like it. It's the the robots freak me up.
At this point, I feel like we got to accept it. Yeah, I know.
They sound like they're not coming. I know, they are.

So I'm just like, wait till, yeah, yeah, that's crazy. There's a lot of sex robots in Asia.
Yeah. Did you look into that? I'm trying to pull up.
I'm trying to pull up on them. What's good?

I think 30% are in relationships

with AI out there. Certain countries.

Pretty nuts, dude. There's no way.
Yeah, soon it'll be America.

Holy shit, bro. Yeah, our kids are going to be, some of them will date AI.

Not doing that. That's my son, bro.
He's not doing that. Yeah, I don't think I'm my kids.
Yeah, no way. There's people that can't pull, so, like, that's their option.

Power to him, bro. Shit.
You ever feel bad after one of the calls? Like, damn, I just ruined that guy's day.

The one Walmart call when

the dude was freaking out about his girl cheating on him. and like

tried to like you know have a heart-to-heart with me about it and uh i didn't see that one. Yeah, I felt bad about it for sure, bro.
Um, but I had to stick to the bit.

So you told him his girl cheated on him? No, no, he, so I called him and, you know, I started talking to one of the voices. He knew it was me.

And he just basically started venting to me, like, yo, like, you know, I don't, like, can you not do this to me anymore? Basically, like, my girl just cheated on me, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

And, like, basically started to bro out with me. And I was just like, you know, oh, damn, I'm sorry to hear that, bro.
Like, that sucks so bad.

And I'm just like, you know, like, you know, I've been in that situation. You know what you could do to like make it better? And he's like, what? And I'm like, put a girl.

Oh, my, you know what I'm saying? Ruthless. And bro, lost his mind.
I mean, the call, I can't remember what day it is, but it's on the Walmart season. But it's like, yo, you have to commit to the bit.

If you don't, then what else do you have? Ruthless.

You're bringing a lot of eyeballs to these companies. So low-key, it might be helping some of them.
See, that's what I think too, especially with the car dealership.

I had this girl DM me and be like, you know, we're getting so many calls. The people upstairs are getting so pissed.
I'm like, yo, I'm basically doing free advertising for you guys. Like,

yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's like they were so mad about it.
And every, everybody is like in the comments when I do like Arby's or KFC or something.

They're like, damn, these calls like make me want to go get KFC. Like, it makes me want to go get Arby's or I'm about to go get Arby's.

People are sending me pictures of them like Doordashing Arby's and stuff. So I'm like, yo, give me the Taco Bell meal.
Give me the put a girl on a Taco Bell meal. You know what I'm saying?

Bless me for the one time. I would kill it, bro.
Yeah, I'd imagine because some of your videos get like tens of millions of views.

Yeah, for sure yeah we have a few that are like yeah 20 million over holy that's the most i've heard on ig honestly yeah it's been sick there was a game stop did a lot of views it's just like some of the certain characters that i you know that work there it's just like they hit so hard yeah because they're it's and they're all based in cleveland too like um on on the twitch we'll like basically call like people in long island and stuff we like with people like you know in long island and all that stuff but when we accent yeah that and they're just like crash outs outs, bro.

But we usually stick around Cleveland just because I can't like call out of state and post it because it's considered like federal harassment. Oh,

yeah. Yeah.
Plus the states have their own laws, right? Like one party has to record or two parties have to decide. Someone has to consent.
Yeah.

So it's like, I usually stay inside of the Cleveland area. What about Ohio? Can you do other cities in Ohio? Yeah, yeah, I have.

But yeah, I mostly just try to stay in the Cleveland area, but it's like I'm running out of places. I can only name, I guess, Cincinnati and Cleveland and Ohio.
Yeah,

it's like Mansfield and all these other places I could do, but it's like it's a lot of sticks out there, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, so damn, you're running out of spots.

What are you going to do when you're out? I'll never run out.

I'll never run up. That's crazy.
Did you look up to any pranksters growing up? Or like, did you watch those guys?

Not really currently. I mean, I really like Ross' creations, if you know that.
That's a funny one. I love Ross.
His concepts are so unique. Yeah, he's killer, bro.
And he's been doing it for a minute.

And yeah, I'm a big fan of him. He comments on my stuff all the time.
So big ups to Ross.

his stuff's so wholesome too yeah for sure i love the fridge to the grocery store one yeah or the tang that on the beach yeah like he's he's killer bro i'm a big fan of him i hope uh to get into like some you know real skate skit comedy like that um

i uh i like sam hyde um he's going crazy right now yeah that's what i'm saying i'm trying to get on fish tank i'm trying to do all this stuff um

but yeah i'm trying to basically branch from the prank calls into like real skit comedy like that you know yeah um that's how you monetize it, I feel like. Yeah, for sure.

This is good to build that initial base and then

the next step is to make some money. And we do do like skits in between and stuff like that.
You know what I'm saying? But it's like, sometimes I'll do a skit, it'll go viral.

But the fans, man, like they love the prank calls. Like, it's just like, if I'm like, I post a skit, they'll comment on the skit.
go back to the prank calls, bro, like shit like that.

Like, they'll cook me. I'm just like, all right, cool.
Let me get on the phone or like pick the phone up, little bro. I'm like, fuck.

That's an interesting thing because you don't want to be known as just that right yeah i mean yeah i don't it's like i don't care for the time being because it's like i definitely left my mark with it you know what i'm saying yeah um you're the number one prank caller in the world i think oh yeah for sure yeah america's number one prank caller baby yeah that's a that's a title right there man that's what i'm saying but yeah i definitely do want to get into the more formal skit comedy just because like i got a real creative mind so it's like you know writing the skits i have a bunch of skits written i have a bunch of stuff like that so it's like yeah i just got to get in the more like you know getting it produced side I like the OG Nelk Boy stuff, yeah, dude, faking the Walmart employee stuff, yeah, motor in their ears and stuff, yeah, legendary Salim, yeah, that's just crazy.

They get a long way too, bro. They've come a long way.
I think they just started getting in so much trouble. Like, yeah, so many arrests started piling up, right? So they stopped doing that, but

yeah, now they just got the pod.

Well, dude, it's been awesome. Anything else you want to close off with here or promote? Yeah, for sure.
Fuck Serpentini Chevrolet.

Bob Serpentini could blow me. And

yeah, dude, much love. It was good to be here, bro.
