We broke 50k subscribers, a thank you

even really understand it my little

brother who's interning for me this

summer keeps telling me all these stats

about how good the channels doing and

how it's impressive because he knows the

YouTube world

I don't really know the YouTube world

that well but it's been fun I'm glad you

guys are enjoying the videos they're fun

to make they're exciting I did this at

10,000 but I mean there's a lot more

people so a little back story 2017 I was

working a full-time job I started doing

Yankee stuff as a side gig it was going

kind of well but that was going well so

we took a leap of faith I quit my job a

dedicated just doing a Yankees podcast

and then other ancillary podcasts and

just covering the Yankees as a fan

making gifts on Twitter making breakdown

videos this year the Yankees podcast

been growing really well it's called

talking Yanks it's going really well

but I said I wanted to do more I felt

like last year I didn't do nearly enough

so I decided I'd just start doing

broader MLB coverage and so I started

making these breakdowns for Twitter I

posted them on YouTube just to have a

place to embed them on the website and

then YouTube I don't know the algorithm

or however you guys found the videos so

I'll try to keep this as short and

concise as I do the breakdowns thank you

guys very much

I can't monetize the videos because if I

monetize the videos MLB is gonna come

after me they're gonna be like we got to

take this down I'm gonna have to fight

it then we're gonna have to have this

they're gonna we'll look at it and then

three days go by and they're like okay

it's up but now it's been three days

since Corey got ejected and no one gives

a [ __ ] anymore and then they take half

the money which that part's fine it's

their video and their product so they

can take a cut but anyway I don't want

to do that hassle and I don't really

like YouTube's games so they're not

monetized my brother who I just

mentioned showed me he the how much I

could be making if there

monetizable and it was very dissing

heartening and sad so we we started a

patreon I kinda super hesitant to do

this but we did it with talking Yanks

and the response was actually incredible

because as much as people want you to

think people in the world suck

they don't people are nice and I'm sure

some of you were nice as well so two

dollars a month patreon John Boy media

two dollars a month to support what

we're doing so I can keep doing it

basically I'm on call every night much

to my girlfriend's dismay you know Korra

gets ejected the tweets come the

suggestions come and I say okay I gotta

go make a video real quick see ya and

it's been a blast I love doing it

absolutely I'm doing it so two dollars a

month we're still working out all the

perks I think I'd like that to become

the community where like I'll talk and

chat about baseball and stuff because

YouTube comments kind of are the worst

place to have a conversation ever and

they're flooding in now which is

fantastic don't get me wrong but it's

hard to like keep up and find them and

you have to weed through a bunch of just

people that don't want to have

conversations I just want to leave a

comment run away and that's annoying

so the patreon I think it's be more a

better place to like start a community

where we can talk I probably take

requests straight from patreon think I'm

gonna make another tier just in case

people have like a video like hey I want

you to do this video even if I don't

think it's gonna be good or it's like

[ __ ] your high school baseball team

and you just want to make a joke video I

think I'm gonna do that I don't know if

that's set up yet we also partnered with

affordable jerseys dot-com and we will

be giving two jerseys away baseball

jerseys any team you want any player you

want - we'll be giving two away every

month to our patreon so I'll just pick

out of a hat - patreon every month those

people will get a jersey from a

affordable Jersey Cop so that's a perk

we are planning on doing a talking MLB

podcast slash YouTube show after the

all-star break n so we can dive into

that we don't know the format yet once a

week twice a week we don't know how

that's going to go but I think maybe the

live shows will be available to patreon

and then

once it's finished up anyone else can

watch it but if you wanted to join live

and chat with us as we recorded ask

questions and [ __ ] like that

I think that's gonna be patreon only I

don't know listen if you don't want to

do the patreon but you love the

breakdowns just keep watching the

breakdown so no skin off my back that's

awesome

if you want to support and I'm sure

there's a lot of people that want to

you're honestly awesome I did some math

here if I was a Salesman I'm not a

terrible sales that was a Salesman this

is what my pitch would be in the month

of May I made 53 breakdowns at $2 a

month that comes to three cents of video

so every time if you watched every

breakdown in the month of May you would

give me three pennies for every video

that's $2 a month one cup of coffee a

month maybe so there's my sales pitch

but again just watch the videos and

enjoy them and thank you and that's

that's the best thing but yeah if you

want to do our support we got that and I

think that about ends it I'm waiting to

see the tipping point to be honest

because like we're growing like crazy

it's it's kind of bizarre to watch so

we'll see how far we can take this you

guys have been great

and growing it and engaging and enjoying

I guess so cool that ends this I hope

this wasn't too long for you guys and

also we're gonna be I have so many

podcasts on jumbo media we're gonna be

making separate YouTube's for some of

them some of them will stay on this and

I know some of you guys hate that you

like just break down just break downs

what we do other stuff too and if you

want to tune into the other stuff and

hang out awesome if not just kindly

avoid it no harm no harm just avoid it

watch it break down so those are fun

those are quick but we do to some

podcast stuff too so don't be rude about

it no need for rudeness anyway go Yanks

or whatever team you like sans Red Sox

don't go the Red Sox see ya
