One of the very few genuine interviews from them. They always like to deflect and make jokes but I think they underestimate how much people really want to hear the full story

Anytime Noel or Cody are serious and explain the detail and intention behind everything you just realize how smart these guys are and that they are playing chess when we are playing checkers. Glad you guys finally got them on the pod!

I hope noel knows his story is impressive and inspiring. He glances over being let go, or being out of work, or having a complicated academic path like the real people that watch cant relate to it, WE CAN.

I just added up the "that's cringe" videos views out of curiosity. The videos collectively have around 290 million views total. Amazing!

I miss That’s Cringe, it was so funny, but I understand why they stepped away from it. Still wish they wouldn’t have stopped, but massive respect and love for them.

One important aspect that I think people sometimes miss when looking at TMG is their naturally complementary personalities. Within this interview alone you noticed how much respect they had for one another, allowing each individual to complete their thoughts without interruptions. Neither one of them was attempting to establish themselves as the "leader" but rather presenting TMG as a cohesive unit. Furthermore, Cody is definitely the more extroverted one, as he did a majority of the talking near the beginning, then Noel took over about halfway when he seemingly felt more comfortable. All credit to Colin and Samir for another fantastic interview!

It’s a bit ironic that Jellysmack has pretty much exactly the same business modell as the record labels talked about except for youtubers. (They offer to push your content on facebook for a good amount of money, then you have to pay it all back yourself. On top of that they take a 50% cut. Literally a record label for content creators.

They’re honestly amazing for what they do, have been right infront of the curve every single time, from making money on patreon to their podcast and then becoming a full studio while making their own website for their own earnings. Genius boys, will always be proud of them for their growth and keep up their partnership through it. They have their hand in every pot and somehow it isn’t halfway

Cody and Noel are two of the coolest dudes on the platform and I think that comes through in all that they do. I think they’ll continue to be successful in every endeavor they pursue

Been following Cody and Noel for so many years and seeing their growth has been so awesome to see. They deserve all the recognition and praise they work their asses off for all that they do. Love you guys. Also Cody why does it look like you spilled chili on your shorts.

I'd like to see an interview like this, but with Michelle Phan. She might not be riding the YouTube wave as strongly as some other people right now, but she was definitely one of the first YouTubers to get huge and has paved the way for many, many people after her. I'm really enjoying these interview videos and they're making me get to know creators that I'd normally not look twice, but I'd like to see something with someone that I already know!

I really like how you guys jump cut to whatever subject you are discussing to give context or to show who or what you are talking about. I wish more podcasts did this.

Short kings ❤️ interesting to seeing them so serious, goes to show their relationship is much more idk mutual and serious and solid also as business partners than just the joking around they do on the podcast like they’re super well aligned
