'''Brad:''' Those two. Yeah. That's a great comparison. So thank you, everyone, who helped me do that. Like, I couldn't do it without y'all showing up and hanging out during the stream. It's a lot of work. It's very, very fun.

'''Myke:''' You did a lot of work. Like, because, you know, I see the same stuff that you do, right? So Twitch shows you there are, like, achievements that you have to meet before they'll even consider you. Because they have, like, two systems. One's affiliate, one's partner. Affiliate's pretty automated. Like, you stream enough times, you get enough viewers, you become affiliate. And then you can start making money. But then for partner, you have to hit a bunch of goals. And then Twitch review you to see if they want to make you partner. Which makes sense. Because, you know, if you were saying a lot of bad stuff, they don't want to make you partner, right? Because that's Twitch putting their stamp of approval on you as a creator. And so they can take it away, too, right? Yeah.

'''Brad:''' So it took me twice to apply to be approved.

'''Myke:''' And I'm not surprised because some people do, like, what you had done. But they just, like, which is, like, they cram it, right? They just do a bunch of streams, fulfill their commitments, and then stop when they get partner. And that's not what Twitch want. They want you streaming a lot, right? So they probably had to see your commitment to that, I guess. But what I'm saying is I see what it takes to do that.

'''Myke:''' And I don't want to put all the work in. You have to stream, like, every day for a period of time, pretty much. And I don't have the time for that. So I applaud you for making the time for that because it's a big commitment.

'''Brad:''' Yeah. And I'm going to keep going. Like, I feel like we're just getting started.

'''Myke:''' Good, man. I love your streams, Brad. They are really good.

'''Brad:''' Oh, thanks. We have fun. Like, it's literally this. It's literally me. I don't put on a show. I just be me. And we have fun.

'''Myke:''' Should we take our first break?

'''Brad:''' I think so. Because I don't know when we're going to take our next one because we have a lot to talk about today.
