[00:00:00] Speaker A: When we say the viewer funnel, give us a thumbs up if you know what we're talking about, and a thumbs down if it's a new concept.
[00:00:05] Speaker B: Yeah. If you don't know what the viewer funnel is, give us a thumbs down.
[00:00:08] Speaker A: Well, why don't we do this? We will talk through the viewer funnel right on this podcast, because everyone. Well, not everyone.
[00:00:15] Speaker B: Come to the viewer funnel.
[00:00:17] Speaker A: There's 50 50 thumbs up and thumbs down. Radio ghost definitely doesn't know.
[00:00:22] Speaker B: All right, well, if you don't know about the viewer funnel. Okay, this is one of our.
[00:00:25] Speaker A: We'll work it in.
[00:00:26] Speaker B: Yeah, we're gonna. We're gonna work it in. This is actually one of our courses that we teach in the. In our education.
[00:00:33] Speaker A: Yeah. We did a really fun physical session of this in New York where we had people running around the room.
[00:00:38] Speaker B: What do you call that when you acted out?
[00:00:42] Speaker A: No, we'll think about. We'll talk about this some more. Okay, everyone, it's time.
[00:00:46] Speaker B: Are you ready? Are you ready? Yes.
Welcome to the guides live. It's Monday, August 12, and this is your weekly hang out to join us to talk about live streaming with people who really know what it's like.
[00:01:08] Speaker A: Because let's face it, no one really knows what you're talking about if you say you're a live creator.
[00:01:13] Speaker B: Yeah, but we do, and I'm not kidding. So I'm Tara, and across from me is my co host, Ben, and together, we make up the guide to life team.
[00:01:22] Speaker A: Welcome in, everybody.
[00:01:23] Speaker B: Yeah, welcome.
[00:01:25] Speaker A: I was thinking about Mondays, and last Monday, I said to you, I'm really getting into the cycle of having the shows. Monday, Wednesday, we're doing way more live streaming, and, like, and it was feeling, like, kind of buzzy in that way for me.
[00:01:39] Speaker B: Yeah, me too.
[00:01:40] Speaker A: I still really feel that now. It's kind of nice, but you have to build up to it, right?
[00:01:45] Speaker B: It's like the, let's hit the ground running this week with, like, everything, and then the podcast is just like, boom. And then now we're in the routine. I love it.
[00:01:52] Speaker A: Yeah, definitely.
[00:01:53] Speaker B: Yeah. It makes it. Once you start getting a routine down, especially if you're a live streamer and you do it sporadically right now.
[00:02:00] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:02:00] Speaker B: Set yourself a schedule and stick to it for a couple of weeks, and I guarantee you. I guarantee you you're going to start feeling energized when you go on.
[00:02:08] Speaker A: Definitely.
[00:02:09] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:02:09] Speaker A: And, like, that schedule is there for a reason, the same reason the tv shows have schedules or, like, things in life have schedules. So we're going to talk a little here. We'll touch on the viewer funnel at the top here, because schedules talk to it so much, it's like part of getting people down. So everything we're going to talk about today really does relate to this kind of funnel. And I'm going to get into the question of the day right after this.
But the viewer funnel is literally like a funnel. Like, what's like a water funnel or like flowers?
[00:02:42] Speaker B: Think about back in the day when we used to put oil in our car with the little funnel, and then you'd pour the oil into it back before they had the bottles that fit into it, when you had to, like, pop a thing in a little round can and you had to pour it in. Yeah, I. Yeah, I like a funnel.
[00:02:57] Speaker A: What else do you use a funnel for?
[00:02:59] Speaker B: Canning. If anyone has ever canned vegetables or fruits or anything.
[00:03:03] Speaker A: So for all the canners out there who are out there canning fruits and vegetables, this is going to be easy for you.
[00:03:09] Speaker B: A funnel is shaped like this.
[00:03:13] Speaker A: Yeah. So at the top is basically your impressions. When it comes to live streaming, impressions are every single time your stream gets sent out to a potential viewer. They're not viewers, they're impressions.
[00:03:25] Speaker B: They're impressions. It's a chance. It's a potential viewer.
[00:03:28] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:03:28] Speaker B: So every time you get an impression sent out, that is a potential person that could be a viewer.
[00:03:34] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:03:34] Speaker B: And a potential something else, which is what we're going to talk about. This is why it's called the funnel.
[00:03:38] Speaker A: So every time you move viewers down the funnel, they're reducing. I mean, there is a world in which you can convert everyone, but it would be insane. And I don't think anyone could possibly do that.
[00:03:49] Speaker B: If you think about it, look at your data at the end of a stream, you have this many impressions versus this many viewers. It's a significant amount of difference between those two numbers. So you're not converting all of the impressions into viewers. If you were, the funnel would be straight. But what it is, is it's like this. So all of the impressions are up here at the top, where it's really wide, and then as they come down and become viewers, they tap through. It gets narrower and narrower. It's like they're getting put through a sieve, if you will.
[00:04:16] Speaker A: So if you've got impressions, only so many people are going to tap on that and think, that's interesting. I'm going to hop into their stream and that is controlled by basically the look and the title and not much else.
[00:04:26] Speaker B: That's just like I'm intrigued. I'm gonna see what's happening.
[00:04:29] Speaker A: And that's on the for you page, or it might be on the live feed. So it's like where you're appearing on the live feed. Are people arriving in your stream. So you funnel down, now they become viewers. Now what?
[00:04:38] Speaker B: Now what?
[00:04:38] Speaker A: So a viewer is just someone who's watching. How do you convert them into the next stage?
[00:04:43] Speaker B: So now all of the impressions, now, underneath that are all the viewers that you got. So now the viewers from that little pool of viewers, now some of those are gonna come down a little further and become followers. So they're gonna follow you.
[00:04:56] Speaker A: And that's controlled by your calls to act.
[00:04:58] Speaker B: Sure.
[00:04:59] Speaker A: All of the things that we talk about, you know, the calls to action are the most like heavy hammer, just like bash, follow me, follow me.
[00:05:07] Speaker B: There's more subtle ones where you could just paste a little sticker that says follow me. Because some people just forget. Or you could be talking about things that are coming up in the, later in the, in the week.
[00:05:17] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:05:17] Speaker B: And be sure to follow so you don't miss out.
[00:05:20] Speaker A: And then, so it follows down. So you're going followers. And then hopefully they're going to become return viewers. They're going to become gifters.
[00:05:29] Speaker B: They're not going to join the team.
First thing that you can do with a follower is get them to join that team, become a team player, because.
[00:05:36] Speaker A: It costs one diamond, one coin. One coin. Yeah, yeah. And this is true. I think this is, this is really worthwhile keeping in mind if you're new to this. But actually, I think it's really worth keeping in mind this, if you're an established streamer as well, because it's, as you grow your community, it's so easy to be like, okay, cool, now I've got a team and there's maintenance and stuff like that. But is that team growing and are you adding to it at the same rate you were before when you were trying to build a team?
[00:06:05] Speaker B: Exactly. When you were putting a lot of effort into it. And I guarantee, like nine times out of ten, no, you're not. The answer is no. And so that's just a reminder to.
[00:06:14] Speaker A: Just, yeah, so if we're talking about intention in streams, if you're a more established streamer, you're used to doing certain things, having the intention to be like, okay, on this stream, I'm going to really work on people joining my team, even though that isn't necessarily financially the best move right at that moment. But what you're doing is moving people down the funnel because they rarely will become a massive gifter or a subscriber if they haven't joined the team.
[00:06:41] Speaker B: But you could actually, someone just went from an impression to a viewer. Right. And now you're, you're talking about join the team, join my team. We do all these fun things at the end of the week. We do games or whatever, and I, the top three people, blah, blah, blah, you could make up whatever you want for your team, for your team members or whatever, but what happens is they're like, okay, I want to do that. They're not even a follower yet. So, boom, they follow you. And then because they have to follow you before they become a team member. So now you just got a team, you got a follower and a team member all in one day. You got a follower and a gifter all in one day.
[00:07:11] Speaker A: So the funnel really is obviously, ultimately ends up down into gifters and then big gifters and returning gifters and being mindful and knowing where you are with each individual person on that journey allows you to manage your audience.
[00:07:28] Speaker B: Yeah, this is where we talk about viewer and gifter management.
[00:07:32] Speaker A: Exactly. So that's the viewer funnel. And I think it plays really nicely into question of the day.
[00:07:44] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:07:44] Speaker A: You ready for this, Tara?
[00:07:45] Speaker B: I am ready for the question.
[00:07:47] Speaker A: So this question comes from magic drop five in the community, and they do deserve a round of applause.
[00:07:55] Speaker B: Yes. Thank you for speaking up and giving us a question.
[00:07:58] Speaker A: Yeah. And this is a broad question. Right.
So anyone who is playing games, so they're talking about gaming, but I think anyone who isn't gaming is basically has the same question all the time. How are you grabbing attention and holding people? Literally. That is their question.
[00:08:17] Speaker B: As a gamer, how do you retain a viewer?
[00:08:19] Speaker A: Yeah, no, they say, how are you grabbing attention?
[00:08:22] Speaker B: How are you getting a tab holding people? So how are you getting a tab through and retaining a viewer?
[00:08:27] Speaker A: Exactly. So where are we on the viewer funnel?
[00:08:28] Speaker B: So right now we're right in impressions. We're at the very top. Literally. We're at the top.
[00:08:33] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah.
[00:08:33] Speaker B: So how do you gain a viewer from all those impressions up there?
[00:08:37] Speaker A: Exactly. Yeah. And so that is often we look at streams and they'll have half a million, a million more impressions in a, in an hour, in a two hour, three hour stream. So those are all the of the potentials. How are you grabbing their attention and turning them into viewers?
[00:08:54] Speaker B: And I just want to state, the number of the beginning of your funnel has to do with, like, impressions and the number of impressions are all based on your engagement. Right in your live stream.
[00:09:04] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:09:04] Speaker B: So the, the more engagement that you have going on in your livestream, the more potential impressions you're going to have to put through your funnel.
[00:09:11] Speaker A: Yeah, exactly. And that's the whole other topic.
[00:09:13] Speaker B: Yeah, that's another class.
[00:09:15] Speaker A: Yeah. How do you feel at the top of the hopper? Well, you got to be entertaining the people. At the bottom of the hopper is the circle of live.
[00:09:21] Speaker B: Circle of streaming.
[00:09:23] Speaker A: Yeah, listen, we should do a, we should take the copyright.
[00:09:27] Speaker B: Circle of streams.
[00:09:29] Speaker A: Isn't it the circle of life?
[00:09:31] Speaker B: Yeah, it's the circle of life. The circle of life.
[00:09:35] Speaker A: Let's talk through some ways we can grab attention. You can sing the circle of life.
[00:09:41] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:09:45] Speaker A: So first of all is the classic, it's an oldie but a goodie, posting the video before you go live.
[00:09:52] Speaker B: Yes. That is an oldie but goodie. And it's an oldie but goodie because it works. It's not magic. It works because there is a reason behind it. It creates a. It ain't magic, it's an impression. You're creating another impression to get people in, into your viewers, into your viewer funnel.
[00:10:09] Speaker A: Yeah. Often people, I think sometimes people talk about that. Say you post a video because TikTok boosts it and that's not what's happening at all. No. It's an artifact of having the fact that people, when they arrive on your profile for the first time, like, and.
[00:10:25] Speaker B: They'Re interested in what's going on.
[00:10:26] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:10:27] Speaker B: They've stuck around really, by curiosity. They're going to click onto your little profile and then go onto your feed and look at your stuff and see what your feed looks like. Right.
[00:10:36] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:10:36] Speaker B: And then they're going to see that first video. So they're like, oh, I'm going to tap on that video. So now they've watched your video. So now all of a sudden you've got all of this new traffic going to your video, which is boosting that algorithmic push to get more people. And then that's in the for you page. So now everyone sees that in the for you page and that little ring around your profile is flashing and it's like, hmm, yeah, I'm going to. And so it, there's, there, that's. It's a, it's a, it's a circle. Yeah, it's a circle.
[00:11:02] Speaker A: And then what, unlike I, that you can just post any video. Right?
[00:11:06] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:11:07] Speaker A: But hyper effective videos that have some kind of call to action. And this question from magic drop was actually about gaming, but applies to anything, particularly with gaming. That video likes outlining some kind of challenge. I'm live right now and I'm trying to beat the world record for most things in a thing, but then I'm trying to learn x and X and Y game. It's the first time I've ever played it.
[00:11:30] Speaker B: Or I'm on the totally awesome game show tonight and I'm trying to keep my title. And so. And so is trying to take it from me.
[00:11:37] Speaker A: Right.
[00:11:38] Speaker B: Come and see and help. Help us keep the. Come and help us keep the title.
[00:11:42] Speaker A: Exactly.
[00:11:42] Speaker B: Something like that. Yeah, that was on. I just threw that out there.
[00:11:45] Speaker A: No, I like it.
[00:11:46] Speaker B: Thank you. Tealy Frieder. Yeah, you gotta keep that title.
[00:11:52] Speaker A: So another oldie but classic is sticker on the screen explaining how you can get involved.
[00:12:00] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:12:01] Speaker A: So this is all about, we're talking about grabbing attention. Grab it. Like, it's not subtle here. We're not talking about subtle. Hey. Like getting people, letting people get to know you and building relationship all the time.
[00:12:13] Speaker B: Very direct. You don't like the attention span on. This is like people come on and some people will just swipe instantly if they, if they're not intrigued, but some people will come on. So this is the thing. This is the second part of the, this is the second part of the, of the question. You've gotten them in your life now. How do you retain them? How do you keep them?
[00:12:31] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. And all of these, and none of them will change anything on their own. But doing them consistently, I see tree, Michigan, saying, I always forget to do the sticker. Right. Like all of these things. We, we all forget those things. Like, I haven't done this bit. I haven't done that bit. Like trying to do them all consistently is what helps people tap through, because we're talking about percentages from the top of the funnel. Impressions, millions of people.
Maybe adding the sticker encourages half a percentage more of people to tap through and grab attention.
[00:13:08] Speaker B: It's still very passive.
[00:13:09] Speaker A: There's a lot of people in a million impressions. If you get half a percent of them, more just for remembering to do the sticker, let alone writing a good sticker. So, like, what do you put on the sticker?
[00:13:23] Speaker B: Mm hmm. Well, you could put the. Follow me one. Or you could put, you could take the sticker and you could type. You could put any text in there that you want.
[00:13:31] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:13:31] Speaker B: Like up to a certain amount of characters.
[00:13:33] Speaker A: Of course. Well, you can obviously do so. When we talk about stickers, there's stickers, but then there's also green screen, which means you can put any text as an overlay on the screen.
[00:13:43] Speaker B: You can do that as well. But there are some stickers where you can actually put. They're the outline of sticker, and you can put any text in there. You can change the text in the sticker.
[00:13:52] Speaker A: So the function of that is because you are unable to constantly reintroduce yourself and say, follow me and subscribe because it makes for bad streaming. Right.
But the sticker allows that to be there all of the time.
[00:14:10] Speaker B: Right. So you don't have to say things constantly. But it's there.
[00:14:14] Speaker A: It's there. What else we got? About me section?
[00:14:18] Speaker B: Yes, about me section. Just in. You know, some people, they don't really put a lot in there. And this is where you. This is the first thing that pops up in a live stream when people start watching it. So it's like an introduction of yourself and what the lives are like just to give them an idea that's gonna like, okay, well, now, I know a lot of times people leave the lives because they don't know what's going on.
[00:14:40] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:14:41] Speaker B: So if you could put that in, and that'd be the first message that they see, they kind of get an idea of what's going on right there. That's gonna improve your odds of keeping them in there.
[00:14:48] Speaker A: Yeah. Who you are. Yes. Like, it's like a little hook there. So being hooky about that writing, if you make short form content and you think about the hook, how do you get someone in in those first couple of seconds? The about me section text is your hook to some extent. Your sticker can be the same as well, but you have to be doing it as well. It's like updating. That is really important. So it's fresh and relevant. I mean, that's why we were later getting on, because we were about to go live and it hadn't been updated, so we had to switch it over. And it's like, is it important in its own? It is important.
[00:15:22] Speaker B: It is important. It is important on its own, too, because it is one little piece of the puzzle. It's like, how many times have you done a puzzle? And then there's that one piece you can't find. And how disappointed are you?
[00:15:32] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:15:33] Speaker B: And then you're like, ugh. You want to. You literally want to trash the puzzle.
[00:15:37] Speaker A: Then and say, yeah, I've got to say I'm not really a puzzle finisher.
[00:15:42] Speaker B: Well, I would be if I could find all the pieces, but we have cats, and we never keep them yeah.
[00:15:48] Speaker A: I don't, I'm just trying to think. I'm not sure if I've really finished a puzzle.
[00:15:54] Speaker B: Well, it was an analogy that.
[00:15:56] Speaker A: Oh, I know. I'm just, I'm now thinking about puzzles.
[00:15:59] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:16:00] Speaker A: Have you finished a puzzle?
[00:16:01] Speaker B: Yeah, lots of them. I used to do, I used to do one a week.
[00:16:04] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah.
[00:16:05] Speaker B: I love puzzles.
[00:16:06] Speaker A: Yeah, exactly.
[00:16:07] Speaker B: I love puzzles like that.
[00:16:08] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:16:09] Speaker B: And I also love, like, puzzle mind puzzles, too.
[00:16:12] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right, so I think one final thing in terms of grabbing people is regular calls to action during your stream about what's coming up later in the stream.
[00:16:24] Speaker B: What's coming up later in the stream, especially, like, hey, in five minutes, we're going to be doing, because this is why it's important to have segments in your show, to have a little bit of planning beforehand when you go on, just to know at this time what's going to happen, because then you can relay the message to the, to the viewer audience. Hey, this, right now, if you're just coming in, this is what we're doing, but stay tuned because guess what? If you like this, this, this, blah, blah, blah, whatever that is, fill in your own this, we're gonna be doing that in about, at the top of the hour, like, or in 15 minutes, right?
[00:16:58] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:16:59] Speaker B: And if you can't, say, hit the follow, come back, don't forget us, you know? It's as simple as that.
[00:17:04] Speaker A: Yeah, I. The, the coming back. The, the what? Telling people what's coming up is, like, stolen straight from radio. And, like, radio as a format is basically surfing in the same, like, prob, or has the same problem as live streaming. People are flicking channels, like, like, streaming on television is very different. People are choosing their pieces of entertainment. Um, like, the radio is kind of scrolly. Yes. And if it's not interesting, people would skip. So what did they do?
[00:17:40] Speaker B: People scroll now on streaming platforms. If you're, if you're watching that, if you're going to Netflix and you're going to watch something, you don't know what you're going to watch your street. You're scrolling through, like, recommendations.
[00:17:50] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:17:50] Speaker B: I mean, it's the same. Which one's going to catch your eye? Which one are you going to? How many times have you started to watch a show or a movie and you, like, get five minutes into it? You're like, uh, uh, can't finish this one.
I mean, that's kind of like, that's what it's like for, you know, it's the same coming into the live, like, are you going to keep them in there? Are you going to make them go, uh uh. And swipe away?
Two of the features are real. One of them is fake. Fake, fake, fake.
[00:18:22] Speaker A: Okay. Well, I think it is time to kick off today's special edition of feature.
[00:18:29] Speaker B: I'm so excited.
[00:18:30] Speaker A: This is feature or fake this time is gift or goof edition. Gift or goof, which I'm gonna tell you.
[00:18:38] Speaker B: This is old school.
[00:18:39] Speaker A: This is old school.
[00:18:40] Speaker B: This is so old school.
[00:18:41] Speaker A: So I'm gonna tell you, the audience, you're gonna get a chance to vote on this. Tara gets a chance to decide as well. I'm gonna give you three gifts. No looking here, and I'm going to describe them and then we'll hit the poll. And you need to tell us which one is the fake of these gifts.
[00:18:58] Speaker B: No cheating. Do not cheat. Don't go looking in the gift in the little gift area.
[00:19:04] Speaker A: Don't go gifting us loads to figure out.
[00:19:06] Speaker B: Unless if you do, you better gift them. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.
[00:19:10] Speaker A: Only joking. Only joking.
So, yeah, gift. So gift number one.
[00:19:17] Speaker B: Yes. Let's hear it.
[00:19:18] Speaker A: Okay, so number one is called fruit friends. It's very much like fruit ninja. If you remember fruit Ninja, the iPhone game with tropical fruits flying onto the screen. You don't get to swipe across them, but think fruit ninja. But as a gift.
So these are all summer themed as well. There's a theme within the theme.
[00:19:38] Speaker B: Summer.
[00:19:38] Speaker A: Theme number two, lemon buddy. A refreshing tall glass of lemonade enters the screen with a yellow spiral straw and you can lean in and drink from it.
[00:19:47] Speaker B: That sounds like a drink if you show. So it sounds like a delicious drink.
[00:19:53] Speaker A: Gift number three, pineapple crush. It's a pineapple which gets sliced in half and it drops into a fruit press and pineapple juice flows into a jug. Ooh, so refreshing.
[00:20:04] Speaker B: That's so cool.
[00:20:07] Speaker A: So I'm gonna get the poll up.
[00:20:08] Speaker B: And running and if you don't know the game meister here, he comes up with so many good fake, what do you call them? Things that, okay, so all of these sound so realistic. They either sound super realistic or they sound like none of them are realistic. And then it's hard to. What's the running score now? We've got, why do not, why do we not write this down?
[00:20:37] Speaker A: Oh, I've got it. I'm just going to pull up the score now.
[00:20:39] Speaker B: Okay. We're going to pull up the score because you have to know. But this is a game. This is an ongoing game that we play every single time.
[00:20:45] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:20:46] Speaker B: So Ben. And Ben is a team on his own. Yeah, I'm a team on my own. And you are all a team together on your own. Isn't it so three of us all against each other? Not really, but we're having a fun, competitive play time.
[00:21:00] Speaker A: Yeah. We are winning. The audience is winning.
[00:21:02] Speaker B: Winning. Yeah, audience is winning.
[00:21:03] Speaker A: It's four points to the audience, three points to terror. Two points.
[00:21:06] Speaker B: Oh, so it's four points.
That's cool.
[00:21:10] Speaker A: It's been, um.
It's been a couple of weeks now, and the, um. I've managed to, um.
[00:21:16] Speaker B: He's full.
[00:21:17] Speaker A: You kind of fool everyone twice, which is nice.
[00:21:19] Speaker B: I've been fooled. You guys. The viewing audience have got. You guys know what's up. But you guys are probably cheating. You're probably cheating. You're looking at your foot, you're looking at your gift, your gift galleries.
[00:21:31] Speaker A: The poll. The pole is hidden from terror. So she can't cheat as well.
[00:21:35] Speaker B: I would not.
[00:21:36] Speaker A: Radio guesses. Nope. No, no. Okay, I'm not cheating. No, I'm not. Dawn's like, no, I'm not cheating.
Don't. Don't look at us like that and say, yeah, sorry, this is just a memory.
[00:21:54] Speaker B: Kristen, I like. I love puzzles, too. I think we're puzzle sisters.
[00:21:57] Speaker A: What we talking, like, video game puzzles or, like, wooden puzzles?
[00:22:01] Speaker B: No, both kinds. But Kristen, Kristen also plays the kind of puzzles that I like to play on my phone.
[00:22:06] Speaker A: Yeah. Keep your eyes to yourself, pat dizzle.
Eyes forward.
All right, thanks, Chanel. We love having you here. We love doing it. We really enjoy joining everyone.
[00:22:17] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:22:18] Speaker A: And hanging out, guys.
[00:22:19] Speaker B: Here, you make. You make it so much more fun and you add to the content. So whenever we post these and they go onto the podcast channels, you guys are there, too. You're there, too.
[00:22:29] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I am. My favorite kind of puzzle is a, like, video game puzzle. Like, kind of zelda y style video games rather than, like. Rather than physical puzzles. You know those ones that you get in a cracker?
[00:22:45] Speaker B: A cracker is those little things that look like a present that and two people pull them apart and it goes, yeah. And there's toys, there's, like, a poem. There's a poem or a joke. There is a little paper hat crown that you wear. And then there's a toy.
[00:23:01] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:23:01] Speaker B: Right.
[00:23:01] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly.
[00:23:03] Speaker B: Yeah, they're fun.
[00:23:04] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:23:05] Speaker B: Do you guys do those in no bad days? Are you still here? Do you guys do that in Canada?
[00:23:09] Speaker A: What?
[00:23:09] Speaker B: Oh, crackers.
[00:23:10] Speaker A: Crackers. I bet they do. Let's have a look at the poll here as well. See?
[00:23:14] Speaker B: Yeah, let's see how it's going.
[00:23:15] Speaker A: Well, you can't look. I'm doing it on my screen. Here we go.
[00:23:19] Speaker B: I don't want to look. Fascinating.
[00:23:20] Speaker A: Okay, very good. All right, we've got one and a half minutes left to vote on gift or goof here. So you are looking to tell us which of the following gifts are fake. Is it fruit friends? Which is the fruit ninja style?
Lemon buddy. Lemon buddy.
[00:23:39] Speaker B: Lemon buddy.
[00:23:40] Speaker A: Which is a refreshing drink, lemon buddy. Or pineapple crush? Which is a pineapple getting cut in half and going into a jug?
[00:23:47] Speaker B: Getting juiced.
[00:23:48] Speaker A: Getting juiced as juiced. Hey, juice.
[00:23:51] Speaker B: I got juiced. Oh, my gosh. When I was in high school, that's what my cousin Brandon used to say when he would get shocked. Like, you know how you would, like, like, scuffle your feet on the carpet with shoes on and then pop, like, touch somebody, it would go pop and be like, you got juice.
[00:24:11] Speaker A: Why was he saying juice?
[00:24:13] Speaker B: Cause it's like getting juice with electricity.
[00:24:15] Speaker A: Oh.
[00:24:16] Speaker B: You know.
[00:24:16] Speaker A: Yeah, that kind of.
[00:24:18] Speaker B: Has anyone ever said that when you get shocked, you say you got juiced.
[00:24:23] Speaker A: I've only been, um. I've only been shocked a couple of times in my life. One time, I licked a. An electric fence.
[00:24:32] Speaker B: You did not.
[00:24:33] Speaker A: Mm hmm.
[00:24:35] Speaker B: Well, that's not as bad as what I did, but that's pretty bad. What did you. Well, I stuck a goodie pick, like a metal pick, into a slight receptacle.
[00:24:47] Speaker A: What's a goodie pic?
[00:24:48] Speaker B: A goody pick is a goodie brand. It's brand goody, and it's like a hair pick.
[00:24:53] Speaker A: Oh. Oh, yeah. I haven't needed one of those for.
[00:24:56] Speaker B: A while, and I stuck them when I was three years old, I stuck them into electrical receptacle, and the hole all went black. And I had black all over my face and all over my hands and. Yeah, I think that's what happened to me.
[00:25:08] Speaker A: You should totally.
[00:25:09] Speaker B: I think that's why I'm the way I am today.
[00:25:11] Speaker A: Well, you did that at age three. I did mine at age 18.
Stupid, but I probably should have done it at age three.
[00:25:19] Speaker B: Psirina. I got a little electroshock therapy at age three. Self medicated.
[00:25:24] Speaker A: Hey, this is fine. It's good for you. It could be good for you.
[00:25:29] Speaker B: Douched. I got douched.
[00:25:32] Speaker A: Yeah. I don't think they do the treatment normally where the electricity enters through your hand.
[00:25:37] Speaker B: No, I'm very. I am so lucky that I'm here, actually.
[00:25:41] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:25:42] Speaker B: Yes. I think I came here.
[00:25:43] Speaker A: We're lucky you have.
[00:25:43] Speaker B: I think I'm a. It's like, that's how I got my superpower.
[00:25:46] Speaker A: What? Which superpower?
[00:25:48] Speaker B: I live in the intuition.
I'm like an X man. I'm like an X Men. Now, where's Professor.
Professor X, where are you?
[00:25:59] Speaker A: All right, let's see.
[00:25:59] Speaker B: Why haven't you called me?
[00:26:02] Speaker A: Let's see if your intuition supported you today.
So we polls in. I see the results here. Tara, it is your time, all right. To use your intuition.
[00:26:13] Speaker B: Fake. Two of them are real.
[00:26:15] Speaker A: Uh huh. Let's talk me. Talk me through it.
[00:26:17] Speaker B: Okay, so fruit friends I know is real because I've seen that one. I've seen that one. I love that one. It's like. I think. Yeah, I know. I think I've seen that one because. But I could be playing tricks on myself, but I think that one's real.
[00:26:28] Speaker A: Describe fruit friends.
[00:26:29] Speaker B: So it's like a pineapple and I. An apple and a grapes or something. It looks like fruit of the loon. People all dancing together and coming together. Yeah, like that.
So I think that's real. And then I think lemon buddy's real, too, because I do remember seeing, like, a tall glass of lemonade.
[00:26:45] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:26:45] Speaker B: I think that one's real.
But the pie. I think the pineapple one's not real. Just because I. But I could be wrong because there's new ones all the time.
[00:26:53] Speaker A: I'm just definitely could be wrong. But you also could be right.
[00:26:56] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:26:56] Speaker A: As well.
[00:26:57] Speaker B: I may be wrong, but you may be right.
[00:27:00] Speaker A: Final answer.
[00:27:01] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:27:02] Speaker A: Did you do.
[00:27:03] Speaker B: I think the last one, the pineapple crush is the fake one.
[00:27:06] Speaker A: All right. Who are you? You're being Roy from.
I'm being Roy from.
[00:27:11] Speaker B: Roy Kent. I'm Roy Kent.
[00:27:13] Speaker A: Ted Lasso.
[00:27:14] Speaker B: Yeah. You guys watch Ted Lasso.
[00:27:16] Speaker A: I'm Roy Kent.
[00:27:17] Speaker B: I'm Roy Kent.
[00:27:19] Speaker A: I wonder if that actor talks like this for real time or if he decided to do this during the rehearsals or he just started it.
[00:27:30] Speaker B: Oh, my gosh. We're at 32k likes, you.
[00:27:34] Speaker A: Know. Yeah.
[00:27:35] Speaker B: Well, we've actually got six minutes left.
[00:27:37] Speaker A: Six minutes to chicken dance time.
[00:27:39] Speaker B: All right, let's find out.
[00:27:40] Speaker A: Okay, so you're saying pineapple crush. I'm gonna go to the poll now. Let's see what the audience thinks.
[00:27:46] Speaker B: This is a landslide.
[00:27:48] Speaker A: So there was some. There was a vote for fruit friends, a couple of votes for lemon buddy. But the resounding answer from everyone here in the audience is pineapple crush.
[00:28:01] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:28:02] Speaker A: So let's find out who was right.
[00:28:05] Speaker B: Pineapple crush.
[00:28:06] Speaker A: So let's do it in the order that I read them out. Fruit friends.
Of course. It's a gift.
It's worth 299 coins or diamonds. Um, let's have a look. So Lemon buddy is the. Was number two.
[00:28:21] Speaker B: And that's a nice drink, you guys. If you want to make a nice summer drink, just make it and call it lemon buddy.
[00:28:26] Speaker A: Is that a real drink?
[00:28:27] Speaker B: No, but you could make it into one. Add little. This is. And that's into it, if you know what I'm talking about.
[00:28:33] Speaker A: And I am pleased to tell everyone that one is also real. It's pineapple crush is the fake. And both Tara and the audience get a point. Today I was resounding trounced embarrassment.
Well done, everybody.
Great job. You know your gifts. I like that. It's nice to know. Um, I was going to ask you, does anyone know how many diamonds pineapple crush is worth? But I made it up so you wouldn't.
[00:29:03] Speaker B: Zero.
Zero.
[00:29:06] Speaker A: Okay, so that makes the scores five to the audience, four to Terra, and two to Ben.
[00:29:12] Speaker B: Ooh, we're going to take them, guys.
[00:29:13] Speaker A: Congratulations.
[00:29:14] Speaker B: Yeah. Everybody, thank you so much for joining us today.
[00:29:18] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:29:19] Speaker B: Oh, you know what? I'm trying to cut a short we got.
[00:29:23] Speaker A: You're worried about that? People have a little time here to get the chicken dance going.
[00:29:28] Speaker B: No, I'm like, we're gonna cut this short. I don't wanna do it.
You guys like that? That was funny, right?
[00:29:35] Speaker A: Tara, like, worked on an anti gift goal strategy. So she sets a gift goal of something that encourages people to get involved and then pieces out.
[00:29:43] Speaker B: Might be like, you better get that chicken dance right. I don't actually have the chicken dance music. We're gonna have to just make it with our mouths.
[00:29:50] Speaker A: Or we could save it if. Even if it goes over, we could save it for the next one.
[00:29:54] Speaker B: Oh.
[00:29:54] Speaker A: With the trick, we could run a.
[00:29:55] Speaker B: Poll, start next week with the chicken dance intro coming in.
[00:30:00] Speaker A: Wow, that's heavy. What a great way to start a live stream.
[00:30:03] Speaker B: Just.
[00:30:04] Speaker A: We do say just start off. Start off as you mean to go.
[00:30:07] Speaker B: On with some crazy. With some crazy stuff going on and people like, what's happening, what is. And everyone's gonna be tapping through in the very beginning. And the algorithm's gonna be like, what? I'm gonna send this out to more people.
[00:30:19] Speaker A: I'm gonna send this out to all my chicken dance lovers.
[00:30:21] Speaker B: All the chicken dance lovers who recorded.
[00:30:23] Speaker A: The chicken dance, who sung that song. Yeah, surely someone here originally.
[00:30:28] Speaker B: I don't know.
[00:30:30] Speaker A: Was it a chicken dance? The chicken dance?
[00:30:36] Speaker B: Does anybody know the mama dance?
[00:30:38] Speaker A: Well known at us Oktoberfest events.
[00:30:44] Speaker B: Mm hmm. That's. I used to do it at Busch Gardens.
[00:30:48] Speaker A: Oh, interesting. Okay, so the original name of the song was Des Entertans, or some better pronunciation of that, which translates as the duck dance, composed by swiss accordance.
[00:30:59] Speaker B: Oh, that's really a quack. Quack, quack, quack.
[00:31:00] Speaker A: Werner Thomas in 1957, he played it in restaurants. Imagine that. He was an accordion player in the fifties playing the chicken dance.
[00:31:09] Speaker B: And it wasn't. It's not a chicken. It's actually a duck. It's a quack. Quack, quack, quack. That makes sense.
[00:31:14] Speaker A: Who would have thought?
I wonder if Werner ever imagined that all across America and the world, people would be doing that. Like, at schools, at roller rinks. Where else do you chicken dance?
[00:31:26] Speaker B: I don't know, but I'm a clucker. I have something to say. This song is not about you. Actually, it's not about you. Yeah, it's about the ducks.
[00:31:35] Speaker A: This song is not about you, clucker.
[00:31:37] Speaker B: It's not your ducks, which someone called clucker a duck, which was me, accidentally.
[00:31:42] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:31:42] Speaker B: And I got a new one ripped.
[00:31:46] Speaker A: I don't think we're gonna make it. I think we're safe today, Terra. Oh, yeah, we're safe today. The time is ticking down. We got everyone's little fingers again.
[00:31:53] Speaker B: Everyone's, like, double tapping, triple tapping, normal size tapping.
[00:31:58] Speaker A: Just fingers.
[00:31:59] Speaker B: Sexto tapping.
Sex to tapping.
[00:32:02] Speaker A: Like that?
[00:32:03] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah.
[00:32:04] Speaker A: Have you seen the video with this? The fake tapping machine?
How? Like. So, like a. It's kind of like a viral thing that's kicking around, and it does, like, fake taps on a stream. But I've seen multiple people test this out, and it doesn't work. Yeah, it's cuts off after a certain time.
[00:32:21] Speaker B: It's not real. Real people stop. Their rhythms aren't the same. And let me just say, taps aren't really the main thing that drives.
[00:32:29] Speaker A: Oh, it's in the TikTok shop.
[00:32:31] Speaker B: Those aren't the things that. The main thing that drives. Like, you have to do taps. Plus a lot of other things too.
[00:32:36] Speaker A: Yeah, if you. The algorithm isn't dumb. I don't think, like, no one knows how it works. It's a black box, but it's pretty safe to say that it's smart enough to pick up a mechanical click. Yeah, that's going crazy. And, like, any time there's a hackley. I think technology is getting so good with those hacks as well. It's like you can spend all your time and effort or money literally going and using that tap device. And if it doesn't work because the system is set up to make it work, it's just a waste of time. Like you could spend.
[00:33:09] Speaker B: You could have spent that time just.
[00:33:11] Speaker A: Being better at streaming. Working on your stream or just streaming. Yeah. Yeah. All right, everyone. It is a tap record. But thankfully, today we can say, oh, so close. We are safe. If only you guys had started tapping a little sooner. Should have tapped sooner.
[00:33:28] Speaker B: Should have tapped sooner. Maybe next time.
[00:33:30] Speaker A: But we will. I do. I do think we do need to load on the chicken dance music for next.
[00:33:35] Speaker B: We won't.
[00:33:36] Speaker A: Just in case.
[00:33:37] Speaker B: I think that it might happen. I think. Thank you, everyone.
[00:33:41] Speaker A: Yeah, thanks for hanging out. And then we will see you live from LA on Wednesday. Same time, same place, same channel. We may be going mobile. We'll see. We'll see how the tech work.
[00:33:51] Speaker B: Beach, you never know.
[00:33:52] Speaker A: Yeah. See you at the beach, everybody. Bye.
