7 years ago, I was still living in my mom’s house, preparing to move out. And because of the way the house was built, my brother’s room was close enough to where I never felt comfortable recording while anyone was home, because I am self-conscious about my speech impediment. Also, I genuinely didn’t want to bother anyone by talking for hours while trying to finish a video.

Unfortunately, that same grace wasn’t given to me one night while I was trying to record a video about the Sixers being eliminated from the playoffs. My mom and brother were having a conversation loud enough to get picked up on my microphone. At the same time, I also had a SeatGeek obligation to fulfill, so I needed to get videos out ASAP.

So I packed up my setup and rented an Airbnb.

On the drive there, I kept thinking maybe I was doing too much. Maybe I should just wait another day to record. Those thoughts only got louder once I arrived. The Airbnb had no furniture and tiled floors, so the echo was unbearable. At that point, I was already down over $100, and honestly, I felt defeated. I kept thinking about just going back home and recording tomorrow.

But I kept trying to piece together another idea.

I thought about getting a hotel room, but with the rooms attached, I could potentially get kicked out for recording while people were trying to sleep.

And then my dumbass came up with the greatest idea ever...

Why not just get a motel room with an end unit

So I drove all around Riverdale, College Park, and eventually landed in Union City, where I luckily found a cheap raggedy motel. They had a vacant end unit, and nobody was in the room next door either.

I got everything set up, sat down to record, and immediately realized it was still echoing. To make matters worse, the motel was so close to the highway that you could occasionally hear cars flying by too.

I felt like such a dumbass lol

I stress ate for like an hour and didn’t even want to go back home because I was embarrassed that I couldn’t even record a video, but right before I packed everything up, I had one last idea.

I grabbed every pillow in the room and surrounded the microphone to cancel out the echo and background noise... it actually worked. I recorded and edited until 11am, right before I had to check out and got a video out that day

Looking back at that night, this is so dumb lol... At the time, I was still uploading on my original channel, and my upload schedule was inconsistent, so I genuinely had no idea how the videos would perform.

It took me years to find this photo again, so every time I thought back to this moment, I always wondered why I was so persistent.

Maybe it was because I knew the inevitable conversation about what I was doing with my life was coming from my mom as she didn't really know what YouTube was

Or maybe it was because Agent was constantly blowing up my phone trying to figure out where we were going to live together.

But now that I’ve found the photo again, I vividly remember what I was actually feeling that night.

I didn’t care if I failed Agent, I didn’t care if I failed my mom

The reason I took that photo and kept it to myself was because I never wanted to feel like I failed myself by quitting.

Why are you cosplaying Stephen A Smith

[𝙏 ﾒ𝟶 @XOLakeShow]

Highest scoring duos in the NBA 😂😂

[stafa @st4fa_]

Things I’d skip to watch LeBrons last game:

The birth of my child
A family reunion
A funeral
My best friend/siblings wedding
Any graduation
A life saving surgery
In other words, I’d skip anything for my glorious goat.

Stephen A. Smith says he was going to pull up and confront LeBron James but decided against it because he didn’t want to jeopardize his own money 😳

Are the Spurs 3-guard lineups bigger than Mitch Johnson?

Jarred Vanderbilt is either earning a legit role with the Lakers again or showing another team why they should trade for him.

In 14 minutes yesterday, Vando had 10 rebounds and 3 assists.

He’s stepped up as backup big and saved LA from playing Kevon Looney, 5-1 when he plays 🫡

Just got done watching there spurs game... Luka is playing in the most unfair timeline, because Wemby is fucking unbelievable

[Los Angeles Lakers @Lakers]

Yeah, Rook!!!

[David Lee @dlee4three]

examples of the adjustments the Lakers made 👇🏽

due to a lack of size the Hawks have to pinch every PNR, Redick & the LAL staff exploited this weakness

tough to contain Luka in single coverage without a drop big even with Dyson as the POA
