things.- Now two things,number one, you couldNumber one, you couldlook at it simplisticallyand be like, oh, well, theyand be like, oh, well, theydidn't want the Apple stuff.- There's a reasonFor some reason, theydidn't want all that.they didn't want all that.But the other thing is thatprobably they were smart enoughto know that they could be trackedthat they could be trackedby all of the Apple productsby all of the Apple productsbecause of the Find My Futures.- Exactly.- Exactly.- When they first said- When they first saidthe story, they were like,we thought they just hated Apple.So that would have beenfunny if that were actuallythe case, but it justsucks that they had to getall of that taken, andonly certain things got dumpedand only certain things got dumpedfor very particular reasons.for very particular reasons.So in a way, you couldtrack any one of the devicesthat might have been stolen,stolen, but for whatever reason,but for whatever reason,these guys were just like,oh,

cameras.(upbeat music)You're listening to CyberNut.[MUSIC]What's something thatnobody tells you aboutbecoming a full-time YouTuber?You're not just a YouTuber.Like that's the thing no one tells you.Like that's the thing no one tells you.You think you're gonna getinto YouTube making videosand making contentand having a personalityand having a presence on the internet,but then no one tellsyou about making a company.No one tells you abouttalking to PR people,being your own PR,always constantly beingin the inbox all the time.No one tells you about like, you know,like actually how to doyour taxes as a YouTuber.No one tells you about all these things.And when you think you get into YouTubejust because you thinkyou're good at making videos,and then like that's asubjective thing obviously,whether or not yourcontent is actually good.But if you thinkyou're good at making videosand you get into YouTube,over time as you become alittle bit more successful,you start to realize youhave to put on more hats.So you're not just aYouTuber, an accountant.- Yeah, that's true. - You're a writer.You're all of theseother things all at once.And a lot of peoplecan scale effectively.I haven't just because Ihaven't felt comfortableadding people to this whole thing.- You do everything yourself.- I do literally everything myself.I do have an accountant, butthat's a family accountant.He just helps me.But that's gonna change even, you know,and I haven't reallymade this too public,but I can say herewithout giving too many details,I'm finally gonnaactually like build a company.I'm actually finallyin this upcoming yeargoing to like have an actual LLC anddoing all these things.And, you know, maybe I'mgonna hire on one or two peopleand whatnot.So I think it's time.And like, that's the thing.Like no one tells youthat you will eventuallyhave to think about that.- Yeah, and this is true.Like a YouTube, running a YouTube channeland living full time off of YouTubeis literally running abusiness where you are the face,you are the writer, you are the director,you are the camera person,you are literallyeverything that a business needs.Marketing, PR, sales,because you have to pitch yourself.You have to get those sponsorships.So it's a lot of work.than ever to make content. Let me justsay that. But all ofthe other stuff is still,it's still based upon just the way theworld has worked formany, many years. You stillhave to make a company, you still have todo your taxes, youstill have to do all theseother things. Yeah. So like, yeah, aseasy as it is to makecontent now, you could doit literally with your phone. And if youhave, if you put alittle bit of thought into it,you can have great content, becomesuccessful and whatnot, aslong as you're diligent andyou don't give up on, on, on, on avision, have a vision.Yeah. But then once all thatstuff starts to like actually make youmoney and you're startingto figure that stuff out,then now there's all these other thingsyou got to figure out.And that has nothing todo with YouTube ultimately. So one ofthese days we can expandupon that even more, butlike my journey in YouTube has beensomething I can give thatwhole story sometime, someother time, how I even got started atAndrew authority and allthat stuff. But like I kindof, I'm, I usually tell people I'm theworst person to ask foradvice when it comes toto ask for advice when it comes toYouTube because I feellike I stumbled into it.I ever thought I was going to get in.because that wasn't the world back then.Now everybody, kidsliterally grow up saying,I wanna be a YouTuber.It's crazy that kids actually say that.- Yeah.- But anyway, before Ibelabor the point too much.(laughs)(upbeat music)- Thanksgiving is abusy time for Americans.People are expecting family to visit.People who don't normally cook sometimesare throwing down in the kitchen.So imagine the Thanksgiving dishes.Yeah, you.

kid, I hope this kid is okay.Let me just say that.I hope this kid is okay.Because like, we all have those moments.Because like we all have those moments.Everyone is, okay, this issomething I've said very often.Like now that I have aniece, a one year old niece,and I've been talking aboutlike what screen time meansfor kids and all of that.Like, what social media hasLike you and I, like you know,you and I, like, you know, Enrique, youEnrika, you are younger than me,Enrique you are younger than me,but I think you still havehad this era in your lifewhere you didn'twhere the things that youwhere-- - Sure.where the things that you- The things that you didin let's say high school,did in let's say high school, eveneven college to an extent,college to an extent,they didn't necessarily have to be

group,Conversely, we also didn't have everyConversely, we'd also didn't have everyother person's opinionother person's opinionopinion and whateverand whatever being thrust upon us.and whatever being thrusted upon us.So I think that everySo I think that every single kid,single kid, person, youth,that every single kid, person, youth,person, youth,whatever you wanna call it,call it, every single kid,every single kid, it should be requiredit should be required thatthat every kid be given theroom to have an awkward phase.- Sure. - Because it's throughthe awkward phase that we learnthat we learn how thehow the real world actually works.- Of course, it's trial and error.- Yeah, right now allkids know what cool iskids know what cool isis because of socialbecause of social media,because of influencers,because of celebrities.because of celebrities. Right now, backRight now, back in the day,Right now, back in theday, I thought it was coolI thought it was cool toto mimic what TheRock does in a WWF ring.in a WWF ring. And while undoubtedlyAnd while undoubtedlyeveryone looks back on it and goes,"Yeah, The Rock was cool back then."yeah, The Rock was cool back then,back then.

was like an achievement.Like if I got like an A plus on a paper,I would stand on my desk andgo like this and then like,(laughing)everyone should have that awkward phase.And now we have kids who are like,they know too much in a way.Like I'm not saying weshouldn't know a lot,but like they know too much.Like they know what cool is.And by knowing what cool is,and I'm putting that in quotation marks,that opens up like they judge others.They judge their peers and judgment.- Not judge, they be roasting, okay?These kids be roasting these days, okay?- Yeah, and now we have the term for it,like which like bullyingused to mean something differentback when we were growing up.But now it's likebullying, once you hear that word,it's like, that sucks.So like every 10 yearold is allowed to havean almost too real thought,like this emoji is hurtful.Like I think every kidshould be able to do that.And if the BBC had totake the story down,take the story down,the pessimist in me isthinking maybe that kidwas getting ridiculed for the fact thathe had this thought.They haven't found their tribe yet.They haven't found their tribe yet.- Right, yes.- Right, yes.Oh my God, I just haddeja vu when you
