I called it cookie. I called it cookie for years. Like two years. I called cookie.
I don't know because you see the names but you don't really say it out loud. Do you know what I mean?
So it's kind of like I've never said yeah cookie like out loud. I don't like what? Wait. What?
So never go. I get it. I get it. Well, I need to do a re-rear edition.
I have JJ Pink here. Hi. Yes. Hi. Hi.
Welcome. I think you're so excited to get to interview you today. Why don't you tell us a little bit
about yourself in your sims history? Well yeah basically I am a sims full of builder.
And that's my niche and like you don't really seem to be doing gameplay even though like
my community try to make me do it but I'm just like that. Not my thing. But you may
seem me from such films as TikTok and doing like Disney castles or like shows, sets and things like
that and that's something that I've recently kind of popped off with really and I because I'm
basically we were discussing before I'm a Disney adult and I'm you know what? I'm not
I'm not ashamed okay and I decided you know what I'm going to just basically I started when
I was doing COVID as well as all of us had and then I was like I saw people doing little tips on
TikTok and I was like I want to do this too like I've always watched YouTube growing up and things
like that and I'm like I want to be in front of camera too so as I do the tips and then that
like kicked off on TikTok very fast and I was like oh okay there's a little market here.
I first decided off as a hobby and then then I just I had my son about like 18 months now
18 months ago and then I tried to get back into the workforce and I couldn't do it and then my husband's
like just do this full time and just make them's content and stream so I stream on TikTok live
um three days a week I do the set of a full time mum and a full time simmer which is crazy
that's what I do for a job of which is wild and um I just build on TikTok live three days a week
I stream on Twitch for a bit but then I decided on that TikTok is better um there's a lot of
I could go on about that and then um yes so I've been doing lots of like build on there of like
less someone's doing a tiny pixel world or a tiny Disney world and then right now I'm building
the Beetlejuice kind of like um house as well like the mansion well not really a mansion but
you know what I mean uh so there's a lot of kind of cool kind of pop culture things that I build
and people kind of like it because you know trick is nostalgia trickle it's like familiarity and stuff
like that so it's kind of like that's a little kind of do so piggyback off that and uh yay that's
that's I think a bit of a random description of what I guess I love that. I do yeah I feel like I
know you I feel we've all been talking I've only met you for 14 minutes now but I feel like I
know your entire live story. Oh good or I'm all done uh that's been great it's been great guys
shortest podcast ever. I'm so question for you so I'm a huge Beetlejuice girl like I'm a
Beetlejuice girl. I'm very excited to see Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. This is being filmed I have not
seen it please no this is the top of September so it's just come out like literally yesterday it's just
come out. Yeah I haven't seen it okay now I'm going to see it in a couple weeks I'm really
excited now I saw your TikTok that you want to build the town that Beetlejuice had built
on the table yet how are you gonna do that I'm just curious well a funnily like I had an idea
in mind because I use like a toolmod by twisted mixie so like that's my saving grace so like
twisted mixie if you're watching this thank you so much. I wish I knew her do you know
you know I don't know I don't know I don't know them like personally or I feel like that I just I just
yeah if I didn't like they're just a bloody godsendrant that they're just so good at seriously but
they know I was thinking of yeah using a bit of toolmod a little debug houses and just kind of
shrinking them down onto the table I don't know how small I can get the houses but there was what I was
streaming it like two nights ago someone came on my stream and I said there's actually a table in
cats and dogs that has like brindles and bay like the miniature version on a table already and I'm like
what so I grew I went and searched and I was like oh my god so that's why I love about streaming
because people kind of help me out they just like oh this is what I'm like I'm trying to find this thing
like what and they're like oh it's this and they they tell you the name of it and I found it
so there's already a little town on a table some little bit like sweet little
little bit like sweet little black little black stone solution but part of me is like I
don't really want to be lazy like that I kind of want to like try to hack it and do it myself as well
so I think that's what I was kind of thinking of because yeah I also used better build by by
just to make sees well which helps me to like filter through debug and live it it and stuff like
that so I can like get these little houses and stuff like that so because when I built um I built
mentalimpus from hercules and um I did like the heavens up the top obviously mentalimpus and then
like down the bottom I did like a little village but like I just shrunk down like debug houses so
it kind of had that weird perspective like but there are just many little houses but it gives you that
kind of weird perspective vibe but I I kind of yeah I love debug and live it and that's what just
kind of helps that gives you the flexibility over here so that's how I thought I'd do it
and my try I like that I like the creativity please once it's done please share a photo with
me because I'm very intrigued when I saw that I was like oh yeah I think that's a pretty
show video very very creative but I love Beetlejuice very excited to see
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice at one time now being a Disney adult I'm also a Disney adult who is your
favorite Disney character oh man right atooy but that's Pixar but I guess that's Disney too
I'm fine with you like it's like let's let's not pretend like there's no blurred line anymore
between Pixar and Disney yeah yeah right same same like I think right atooy's just like my
comfort film like I love I love I love like yeah I love Remy the rat I feel I just like I connect
with me not that I can cool or anything like that but I just love that film you know just I
it's like there's a lot of the feel that I just put on when I'm feeling really sick or like if I have
a cold and I can't sleep at night time and I don't want to disrupt my husband and like because I'm
coughing and stuff I'll go downstairs and turn the table and like literally I like a one the volume
don't want and I know exactly what they're saying and I don't even need to hear it I know what's
going on you know like but right atooy is like one of my favorite like it's just my my number one
I reckon what about you good question so I also love right atooy it's not my favorite but it's up
there as a chef it definitely was a movie that I always inspired me to be a chef what once I saw
I love it but my favorite Disney movie I have tears I have live action and I have animated
so my favorite animated is Lone with Adado I love yeah I love Lone yeah it was actually the
first movie I ever saw in theaters because I would have put me at the right age of four
and I screamed my little head off the entire time because the huds are scary okay the huds are still
scary but my favorite I know my favorite live action is the any of the first three of the
parts of the Caribbean franchise oh my god yes I listen it's so good I listen to the soundtracks
almost every day when I'm at work like it's so good it's so timeless it's not yeah it's actually
funny you say that my grandma I had a poster of like Jack Sparrow on my wall and my grandma
I did one day she's like is that you oh my god I was like no it's so freaking hilarious so that's that's my
great but no that's I love I love I didn't watch parts again again like it's been a very
long time I think I'm over due watching that for sure it's print stories Disney yes I had ever
said okay I just another one so I I've been offered like six months like filming podcasts
sporadically and sporadically is very loosely being used there I like watch all of these Disney
movies and anticipation for me to go to Disney World last month princess diaries two is
fucking incredible and nobody talks about it enough and I'm really mad about it because it's so good
yep yep I have a young crispine like he still listens yeah you know what that I don't make
films like that anymore I don't know you know where's that you know we just need that's that
stereotypical storyline you know but it's just so they just did so I don't think I think nothing
beats the first one though that's my comfort film for sure I love watching that too just like
if I'm there's nothing else to watch that's what I what's your comfort film um I have
step-up I definitely part to the Caribbean too I know every single line in that movie I can
mimic it not only that I'm a huge loser and I taught myself the choreography of most of the sword
fighting because I love that movie it's so good um please tell me that's recorded somewhere on it
to say this it's definitely recorded somewhere that no one will ever see it
oh so blanks right oh I was just put that on my resume being like those how to market
and act out the the final scene between the three sword people trying to get the Davie Joseph's heart
um I'm trying to think of like I really other ones I would say um Scooby-Doo Cyber Shaze is
very much up there too he would give you girly um the first four Harry Potter's definitely up there
anything after four I don't really give a shit about to be honest with the Harry Potter
can you be like that I get that I get that it just I obviously from five to seven and seven
part two they're more of like this is like the actual story like like I like them just trying to like
run around and be like oh like in the second one they're like they're trying to beat the
basclos or in the third one they invent then there's time travel and the fourth one yeah
like the time which are time like I like the world building aspects to those and then anything
after that it's like very bold and more heavy it's like we got it in the middle we got it to
feed home I would have like remember the films after the fourth one that you mentioned I'm like I
haven't got them so are there there there are eight films total there there there seven
books seven moon like both seven part one and part two the thing is is at that era we have to think
Twilight are starting this part one part two because then the hunger game stood it yeah and then
Harry Potter did it I was just like we don't need these it's kind of like the Hobbit
the small ass book it's a very small didn't need three parts like I wanted like maybe one movie
or an eight episode mini series um all needed but honestly at this point I would rather have
eight episode mini series than a movie because you can actually expand upon said world instead of
it being all wrapped up in like two hours hmm so besides ratitua what is your comfort movie
and but I'm a princess diaries princess diaries and there's like I'm just like the first thing
that comes to my it's it's a film that doesn't have an age well but this is something I really
want to build on the scenes um Angus songs and perfect snowgings have you seen that I have not I'm sorry
what is this I heard I think I heard it correctly but I want to make sure I got that right it's
Angus songs like exactly how that sounds okay yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Angus songs like oh and perfect snowgings okay wow okay um 2008 what what is this movie about
because I have no I've never heard of it before in total right now it's like a coming of age kind of
like film and I'm like because she was there about the same age that I was when it came out so
I was just like oh my god it's like basically it's okay basically I've got ADHD so it's like
hard for me to tell storythall storylines because I get distracted and like my channel is like
tells me off because I'm always getting distracted I do bear with me telling you the freaking story
long ago like it's awesome but um it's essentially a girl who these two new guys come to a school
dinner Aaron Johnson he's this actor he was in um what else is he in I'm trying to remember
I had the sounds familiar yeah beautiful beautiful man if I do say something else
Aaron Taylor Johnson yes yeah he he was just in um bullet trade yes yes yes yes yes so
that is so young Aaron Johnson was in this and told by Harry Potter the main character
she's now dating the guy who plays Ron like they're together oh okay yeah full circle
moment there but yeah it's like a little kind of comic of age she's like the thing
it has not age or the jokes it's so funny it's like oh you can't say a lot of those things
but it's just like basically like her wanting to get with him but he's got a girlfriend who's got
like she's just like all a slaggy lindsey they call it it's like a UK thing and then um and then she
eventually like a spoilers um eventually still tear man but he ends up hands up kissing her
and then whilst he's still with lindsey which is the naughty naughty and he's also in a band called
stiff Dylan and then he's I'm so mad at him don't eat stop and then and then he ends up they end
drop um have a little kiss to kiss in the pool and then they go and then he just goes I don't
piece that I'm gonna go fix some things up and then she's just like oh my god he said it call
me but it didn't call me oh my god and then she ends up trying to make him jealous by like
going on a date to his gig with like Dave the laugh which is like one of his mates and then he
goes to the gig and then um and then and then he's just like what the hell like what's going on
here you know he gets all jealous and then he and then she ends up going south and starts like
you know being a bit annoying and then he's just like all right this is not the gal I like
and then he's like give a marist me but then she's like I've got my birth day party I think it's
like a sweet 16 or something I don't even she goes to a night club and her mum kind of organises
it's so corny it's so corny and like it's like her birthday party is the same night as lindsey
or rush but then everyone ends up going to her party not lindsey and like the stiff dillins were playing
and her party and it's like dance with me everything and it's like for good time it's a vibe like
that's that's the I know you're all the music as well right it's so and then she ends up with the guy
and then uh but now Aaron Johnson's married to like a guy who's like a guy sorry lady that's like
three times as age or something so that's a bit sad at the time I was like oh but that's my chance
is gone and Johnson if you're watching me you're listening hi yeah I'm sure you're a
child woman I'm a married woman I think it's a bit like me but um yeah so that's my let's see it's just
like it's one of those films where I can quote it as well and it's just like it's it has an aged
very well like but it's still one of those comfort films for me so princess stories and I want to
build her little house on um this seems I might do it like a youtube video a scene on that so that's
something that I want to do so hopefully there's other people out there who like that film I love that
you describe it perfectly now I watch yes you did and now I now I want to watch it so I
do because okay I like I like we both just as like we are we're a little we're a little we're a
we're the I don't know like the end of a millennial early Jenny's Gen Z so yes like I love anything
2000 say 2002 to 2012 like that is where I keep my life at all times and in the after 2012
it's not great for movies like like I loved EZA okay oh yeah or like super bad or just like
this like ronshi team movies that they could not make anymore like we grew up on that
were like this generation grows up with Netflix original movies such as tall girl um
yeah and like all like that stuff were like I don't know like I just like I love like the
cameiness like she's the man he's a friend of this kind of make that today but like I know
or like um she's all that or there's like a bunch of like other stuff I'm like even like the show
like I'm a Disney girl like show like I will still watch Anna Montana sweet life's acting
Cody was it's a way of replacing Lizzie McWyer that's so raven the proud family like yeah I love
that stuff and obviously they've come back from like the spin-offs and stuff but like I don't know
like the like the like the generation has like descendants um but like we had high school musical
Anna's love of Tuscany's like oh my god like I remember when high school musical two came out it was
a huge deal for us to play it up because like they like there was billboards everywhere and like me
and like seven of my closest girlfriends at the time we stayed up and so I think it premiered at like
nine p.m. and we were all cozy and we were like it's eating south and then by the end of it we
had to rewatch it because we had to recreate Troy's dance on the fucking goalfield and now I find out
this year that it was improvised give this man a Tony and Oscar and a Grammy make it look good because
that is incredible yeah I heard the sack is he gives really kind vibes like I heard this is a good person
IRL I think he is I feel like he is I feel like he has I definitely feel like there are some
celebrities out there that we associate as nice yeah but they're probably not in real life
because we want them to it but I want that I feel like I feel like he's like a guy that would just
be like bring your mom flowers you know what I mean? I'm just like buy you a coffee or write
you love letter and like I just like yeah I know he's just he seems like a sweet kiss.
Sacky boy yeah. No it was funny I went to like it seems party the other the other couple it was
like the day before my birth site so the 10th of August and wait where I got these little plumb
bulbs from. Hold on hold on when super day the 11th of August is my birthday. I'm the 14th of August
well we're bloody twins that way we should have a joint birthday I've word little far west
I think if you like like I feel like here's like my 10 friends and we're all like we go to bed at
APO. Let's just go to chocolate school music. I'm going to bed at night I'm done. I'm down
to do some party I'm done a little karaoke as well like I think let me music yeah that
love me some care is so funny with my early days of like streaming on twitch people that was
like a carrier heat redemption and like I'd always have to sing carrier heat because like
I barely I barely built when I was on twitch I just did carrier heat I looked at and that's
what got me like I was like that's what I like about TikTok is that I'm able to have time to build
its weed is because it's like a bit more fast pay so I don't like it's not as slow so I just
yeah but of course I say okay sorry sorry I said you're too yes okay I also had a question about
that would see you're like clubbing on your birthday and you're playing the Sims please
explain this to me how that was possible so the people at EA that in Australia decided to
host a love struck party in AL this called fortress the the club in a way it's like a bit of like
a there's like a venue done bottom of it as a huge stage and I think they sometimes do like
esports there and stuff like that and then all like a few events then so you can hire that out
and then upstairs is like actual like rooms so you can stream and then like there's arcade as well
like next to it too so it's like a gaming kind of like club but there's also like a bar area too
like a place you can just hang out so it's actually really cool so so that's called fortress and
they have their insignia and they have it in one in Melbourne as well so there's a big lot of
it's like pop softs as it's like in the dead set like in the in the middle of the city so
that's always quite busy there but yeah EA hosted that EA will these Aussie team hosted that
and it popped off like there was like personal insignia they didn't signify so there was a lot of
people who turned up and then they sent they gave everyone these little plumbob headbands and
then I was like oh my god I want one of those and that was so good because like when you go
and you just see all these pumbobes just lighting up the space it was just some real
I was like this is amazing and then on the stage there was just like well you got the big screen
at the back of like Sims actually like like someone had built fortress so where were
and they actually like there was like they were all clubbing like you had Sims distancing
and stuff like that like just at the club like I had like it I don't know if it was actually live
game being played but it was really cool and they had like the DJ and like the dance floor
it was very Sims coded like it was crazy I was like I felt like I was in the game and then
and then they had the PCs up on the stage and so I went up there and I was doing like a little
building kind of competition with my friend but at the same time I was like it's so hard to focus
because there was like music pumb things I was just like I don't know what I'm building right now
it was just building a random castle and then yeah but it was really cool because like I told
one of the organizers that it was like the day before my birthday because I got a VIP ticket I was like
thank you because I'm a big deal you know no yeah they gave me a ticket I said oh it's the day before
my birthday so it's like a good little celebration and they put like a happy birthday JJ like on the
huge screen with like you know like the loading screen when you enter the Sims so it just said
happy birthday JJ and then they bought me a cake and they gave me like some Sims merch and
stuff and I was like oh my god like I didn't expect that at all like so that was really really
beautiful so I basically had a Sims birthday like Sims themed birthday party yeah for my birthday
so that was pretty wild but they were playing high school musical when I went in I was like oh my god
what I was like this is the max the stick to the stuff you know I was loving it and then they
started playing like Simlish music and I was like this is cool so like the Simlish covers and stuff
of like I think Katy Perry was on and they were like this the Simlish versions of that and I was like
how this is this is great yeah it was good and then that was amazing I hope that they take that
global I've said like because I did a video of it I did two videos I did one of me just vlogging it
and then I did another video of just me being like pav like you go to a you play the Sims last club
being well something like that and that hit over a million views and then I sent it to like the
organisers I was like by the way this is like a nice business case for EA like to kind of host it
everywhere and they're like oh my god things are sending this to us I'm like oh well yeah I'm like
pay me next time no stunt to me and because I'll do the video anyway though but yeah so that's
that was really really I hope everybody can experience that because I was so much fun it was amazing
like I saw the I saw your tech shop I was like that is amazing I would love for that shit to come to
Canada we don't like nothing ever comes to like the era store for Taylor Swift was not originally
announced here and like our Prime Minister like wrote a letter to her being like please come here we we want this
like yes what she that's yeah the way she announced the world tour originally Canada was not added it was
part of phase two she's coming she's coming for six days we only got six shows and the entire country
we want yeah and they sold out with under five milliseconds everyone else got placed on a
lottery you're not selected on the lottery oh my god yeah usually Australia's forgotten always like I
feel like we'd never have anything here but she came here but like you know but far I have but yeah like
the Sims especially like because I know that they we had like an EA Australia called the EA inside
or I think oh and like and I think that they shut that down so this team he is still exists but they
don't have a separate like I can't like you know like there's like Disney I U Disney New Zealand
Disney but like there was like that for EA but then he was like no sorry so I think that's the
way to be less in UK everybody else suffers yes pretty much but like like you said it before like
a lot of this huge audience in Australia like you know that listened to your pods well so it's like
we're all here hello there's a lot of really good Aussie creators as well so I'm just like
don't forget about so it was really cool that they they managed to to host this yeah and that was
like yet if they could do this every year I'd go for sure it was really great it was really I really enjoyed it
yeah and that was like the grim someone dresses the grim people were cosplaying it's like like the
the the the burglar as well and then it was when anyone who was staff had like a blue plum bob
for like you know sadness I guess and like there was a choice of the green and the yeah and the orange
plum bob and I think I'm gonna say red but I don't remember but yeah but then the staff wore
that I think the staff all dresses the burglers oh yeah you got it yeah and then and then
and they all had the the blue plum bob so it was so good it just looked amazing seriously and so
I catching and everyone like the internet went wild like everyone was like wow where's my
environment I want to get on that I'm like yeah well and I tagged Dave like yay
this scene this is a body exactly yeah I'm so yeah but it was for vibes good vibes
I appreciate that okay if you had to cause plays anybody in the Sims who would you cause players
who would I cause players
probably Agnes wait what's her name I would see I'm not because obviously because I build obviously I'm
not good with all the the townies names but Agnes the crumple bottom yeah Agnes like obviously like
my husband said that like I did a little guess the town he kind of video one time with my husband
and he and I showed him Bella Gotham he said that's you and I was like no I get this I could
cause my his Bella Gotham like I could get away with it because I've got the dark features yes
so I could get away I did do it accurately as possible but you have at you
I would like to go as Johnny's asked I would yeah that's great yeah you definitely do yeah I know
I'm like trying to think you're out like who's a funny one a lot of pancakes the lies of pancakes yeah
another yeah or Bob like Bob Bob pancake yeah you could do that yeah no I want to be Johnny's
asked I'd go I would go full I would give it I'd give it all I got yeah yeah that's like good no I
love that okay so I would I want to switch gears and I want to talk about TikTok because I specifically
avoid TikTok like into black I have ADHD that is just ADHD feel of not getting anything done
I have caught myself like before like all of the time yeah like I just like even like Instagram
rules like I maxed myself out at watching five a day five a day yeah that's it because I could spend
16 hours cause it's just the same like next video next video next video next video and there have been
times where I'm like holy shit it's been an hour yeah how did I almost I was just watching a movie
or a TV show and I got to get better at you know yeah well down we're watching TV shows doesn't matter
oh my god so true yeah that's true but so you can't but TikTok a lot obviously a lot of people are
on it talks to me about the successes of TikTok that you you have experienced yeah TikTok's where
it's all started for me and it's just insane how quick it kind of grew from there like you know
it's just that the rich is not like there's like like I it started when I built I was started
what I decided to properly go live and TikTok and start streaming again after having my sound
I was like I started to build the home alone house and then I got like a couple of like
way more people than I got from like Twitch like so Twitch I would average like 40 viewers even
though like my following on TikTok was like 60,000 like so I was like how could I get these people
across so that was like the initial like I managed to get to that amount I'm like surely I can
get like parted on Twitch right but it was so hard to convert people from TikTok to Twitch it's just
it was just so difficult and then some people easily can because they frame themselves as the
personality in the person but I was doing more like seven steps rather than showing me if that
makes sense right and then with a bit of my personality too and I've bought a few viewers over
though like an icon complain 40 viewers on like Twitch is good for Twitch right and then um but then
I just kind of like I just kept on getting like it was just hard work and I was at it for like three
years and I was like I want to like change gears here TikTok live was around for a while I was building
in Canto when in Canto came out on TikTok live and I had like 700 viewers I was just pointing my
phone at my screen because I was like they didn't have OBS integration or like TikTok live
studio which is like yeah how I'm able to like record the game in my face so like all I did was
just I had a little mini tripod and I just approached my phone up and just face the screen and
just went like and then it was like 700 people and I had music playing just on the speaker in the
background and I was playing like in Canto music because the freaking bang is I'm all right anyway
absolutely oh so good and people like you know play we don't talk about Bruce like we were just
like yeah okay it's all like being a bit of a DJ at the same time but um that was really fun for me
and I was like far out like this reached there is insane and then but in the chat was going wild I was
like okay but then um it wasn't till literally yeah until December last year I decided to go back
on to TikTok live and stream consistently like three days a week um what's good about TikTok is that
you can stream for like an hour and a half or an hour and you can make the same amount of
more money than you would if you were streaming on Twitch and you would have a way more exposure
uh because they're just because TikTok live is being pushed at the moment for TikTok so if you
go live and TikTok and you're in gaming um TikTok's gonna like seeing that and they're gonna
really push they're trying to push gaming especially gaming at the moment because they're really
trying to become that one of the newer like because there's YouTube gaming and like twitch things
like that so they're trying to kind of spearhead that a little bit so that's why they're encouraging
that and what's happened is I then started building promo loan and I was like seeing like
I was getting like over a hundred viewers I was like okay this was cool and then I decided
I'm gonna promote my streams by making a video before I go live and this is like the secret source
so if you're listening listen here you say when you're about to stream you do a video and you
kind of want to add tension so you want to be like you know you guys have challenged me to build
this out of the house I'm gonna do it most of the time I'm genuine I actually don't know it's
all of the time I surprise myself sorry I'm just like I don't know how I'm gonna do it and this is
like the first of all I was doing like the I first did a video like this full I was building
the Elsa's Ice Palace and I did a video saying I'm about to go live building Elsa's
Ice Palace like I don't even know if this is possible but like come and watch me live
I should be live now because what happens is when you go live TikTok boost that video and then they
also use like SEO and like you're what you're saying I'm live now I use hashtags I'm live now
and that boosts that video like crazy right like and then when that was happening and being boosted
that bought viewers over from the FYP into my stream and then I had like in the one stream
it was the Chilean Aerona half hours on there it tells you the amount of people who clicked
your stream it's said like something ridiculous like 200,000 people clicked my stream and like
excuse me and even the Beetle just the other day I had like 80,000 people click my stream
I'm like that's insane that's a amount of people yeah and that's what I mean like I was like
so when I first started streaming on TikTok and December I was at like 130,000 followers and then
being consistent since December three days a week I did have like a holiday in the middle for like
two or three weeks I have a three week right but now I'm at like 280,000 followers so it's like crazy
the extreme freaking reach I'm telling you like yeah every stream I'll have 50,000 people come past
not the numbers so that's that's why I'm like I'd be crazy to try to get back onto Twitch or try
something else you know what I mean like I know that you can sign more stream and you can stream
like you know another platform but I've like my ADHD kind of like I can't focus on two chats
I just want to focus on the one and I want to like pay attention to the chat as much as I can
as well because like growing the community is really important to me and like having
because that's what makes it fun for me as well like I'm not just there for the numbers and the
money or anything like that I'm there because I like the connections that I make with the people
and the people especially like yeah the people who've just found me through my streams and they've
stuck around they're the most amazing people like they're so lovely and so kind I've accidentally
made all my mods like Swifties like they're all Swifties and it's funny because I'm like because
I'm actually not really I'm not really a Swiftie myself I don't but I'm not a hate-out or anything like
this like everyone has a different taste and things like that is fun but it's hilarious but like even
Swifties are all lovely too so I'm just like everyone's so bad but yeah it's just crazy how
much it's like opened this community of people and they keep coming back and it's weird because
you'll think I've picked up just on your phone so it's hard to watch but now they've made it so
I've I've can make it landscape as well so they're improving it too so you can watch it on
your pizza if you want to do your laptop so I've done it in my settings so that yeah you can click
a little square on the side of my stream where you can watch it like full screen so and ever since
I did that yeah a lot of people just come back and just enjoyed and watch which is really nice and
the thing with them there's a thing called the gamer rankings and I always I push to be on that
because that's like encourages tips and goals and stuff twitch days I always feel bad asking for goals
and things like that and tips but this is my job now so it's kind of like it helps me pay the
grocery every week it's actually but it's a TikTok TikTok TikTok does take 50% though like twitch
so that's a little like it's frustrating but it's still it's great and the opportunity is great
the people are great and then like people so freaking generous as well and it's like everyone's just
like keen to hit the goals and like it's just like a cool fun vibe and then you finish streaming
or on the feel like an hour and because I'm like I'm a mum I'm tired I can't go on for too long right
so it's just perfect for people who are time poor but they do want a stream still but don't want to
do those 24 hour streams or five beyond for five hours or four hour like I would never even before
having my son I would never do those 24 hour streams like I don't know how people do it but
yeah it's three talks really good for those like quick wins and the fast pace and that's like what
I like that's kind of the content that's I like even though I am trying to dabble into YouTube because
I know like YouTube's where it's at so I really need to like get in amongst it I have made a few
videos I've got one coming out soon which will be out probably by the time you guys listen to this
have I've toured my office build build I built the office from the show and yeah to the little tour
and that because I did a little video on that on Instagram and that hit like eight million views
and I was like Jesus Christ so I was like I'll cover YouTube video on it so I'm doing a little tour
of that's not a little bit of YouTube so you can go check it out guys JJ being on YouTube
had a little tour and a few bit of little tutorials on there too but yeah so like YouTube is hard
because it is like you got to spend longer and be a bit smarter with the content and I don't know
I'm still trying to figure out YouTube but I have a lot of friends who are YouTube is in
YouTube and they've given me a lot of tips and tricks so I'm just like but I'm also time poor so
it's like you can't see me building the whole beetles juice house on YouTube as well as building it on
stream you know what I mean yeah I got a chance I was a that's a very long way of answering a question
well thank you for sharing everything I definitely check out some notes I just like I want to
also clarify like I do appreciate TikTok careers I appreciate the community I appreciate all that I just
specifically shoes not to be glued to TikTok and just having falling down the rabbit hole but
I do appreciate all the creators out there so yeah but no thank you so much for sharing I
got to ask everybody who I've self included has had that moment where they're like holy shit
I made it what was that moment to you? I don't know if I've made it though I mean God that sounds
I don't actually know I think when I decided to actually like take it seriously and do this I was like
a career like it was just crazy how I just feel like if you're doing the thing that you really
want to do in life the universe just kind of not doesn't doesn't give it to you but it helped
I just feel like all lot of positive things kind of everything just falls into place I
am like oh okay this is what I meant to be doing because like I just I felt I think what was it that
made me feel like this is the right path for me um it like I think as soon as like I decided yeah I'm
going to go to do it I think I had like a few sponsored opportunities I popped up in my emails and I was like
oh wow okay so I can actually make some meaningful money out of this and survive of this I know it's
not consistent but like it's something and I'm willing to grow it and um and it wasn't until I
said doing like I guess like my little transition videos of like you can't build like what it was like
yeah the office on the same tour and I just did those little videos and they were all the
builds I was built I had done for a few years ago and I just kind of reused that footage and just
changed the formatting and like they just hit the millions of views one time my Instagram was at like
9 million like it had reached 9 million people at one point and I was like what does it
I think at that moment I was like okay I think that's I think I made it but I don't know if I
still think there's still like I said YouTube is where it's at I feel like once if I can get
YouTube going and if I think monetize that which is my goal I think that's when I'll really
feel like I've made it because I feel like that's a little bit more because TikTok's fast pace so
it's like you're not as memorable on TikTok because people are just like you know scroll that
don't really remember who they're looking at but I feel like YouTube you really like remember the
YouTube is like you know obviously we know little Simsie we know like those faces you know
want to mean yeah like carrot economy know their faces you know whereas like a TikTok is easier to
forget you know so that's why I'm like once I get you if I can get good good on YouTube that I
feel it I think that's when I feel like I've made it well I think that's a good answer and I think
you will absolutely make it on YouTube your content is phenomenal and I think the opportunities
right there it's like you're like a year from now you'll be thinking back at this moment being like
I did it you did it you did it what God that gave the goose bumps thank you very well
I'm sure that that really makes me feel good yeah I hope I hope so I hope so that's definitely
I something I really want so I've got to get knuckle down and do it very very good um
what advice would you give to anybody who you know really wanted to start their TikTok journey
and making Sims content I think like always make something that you're interested in don't
make things because you think the algorithms don't like it or you think other people don't like it like
you I feel like we we always have well other people like we always think of trends things like that
but it's like no just they just thanks stuff that you like and then um and then the other
like mind and people will come and like support you and things like that I think just get started doing
like I said like when I saw streaming I just pointed my phone to my screen like you know like
it's just just try to go live and take talk if you can like um because that's gonna really
wrote like help you grow like very quickly because there are people I think the thing about TikTok
is it's quality not quantity so you can have like 5,000 followers on TikTok or something and
that's like you could be at the top of the game of rankings because it's quality like you'll
have people or a community there like a small community that will support you so I've you know it
just that's just something that's huge it's not about how big you're following is it's just
it's the quality not quantity that's the biggest thing for me but just get started just just do it
stop listening to that little voice in your head just make that crappy video get started and then
get better as you go and then just that's what's that saying get started then get good yes I
think it is yes that's exactly yeah I think that's what I'm trying to find YouTube I've just
got a few out there it's still not perfect but I'm just gonna get started to get good that's it
I think yeah I think that is amazing advice not only is that good advice or check-off
that's gonna advice for anything that you want to try yeah and your life just put yourself up there just try
exactly exactly you're just you're just gonna keep growing and then the like in your content journey
if you you know if you want to become a content creator everybody starts off not knowing what the
fuck they're doing oh no you don't know what they're doing and then like years come and you pick
up tips and tricks and you you get like into the groove and you know what you need to do so
so it's been like three to four years and you're like oh crap like I've been doing this for like
four years like you know like time goes by quickly so it's like yeah you're right like it's time
is so good because it's actually you need that you need to be patient because you learn things and
it's good to change things up a bit too like as you go especially with tips I'll give you
posted something and it kind of like flop so something you can try to get just keep trying
and change something a little bit bit by bit like start if you like that video do it again
change something a little bit and they keep seeing if that helps and then soon you'll hit the mark
and then it'll it'll go it just yeah anyone can do it seriously anyone if I can do it anyone can do it
honestly well that's absolutely amazing I only have one more final question for you and then we will
wrap up this interview at this hobby this you said your favorite movie was Rattitudey
as we know Disney likes to make live auction films who would you cast an alive action
version of Rattitudey oh oh um god I'm trying to think now who would play in it
because then I guess the rat would be like a CGI but it would have a character but it would have a voice
so who would play him god you got me there I'm bloody stunted I'm there's only one answer that can
play the chef and it's obviously I think it's sure me Allen who plays the chef in the bear
oh I see yes yes yes yes who is so who would play the I would say who would play Lingweenie
why do I think of like Ross Skeller from friends yeah I just think of him I don't know why I don't
know why I just think of him I guess like the voice and the dopiness yeah I don't know mine's
doing me a little bit whatever his real name is in real life I he's probably a bit too old now
for that character so that wouldn't quite work because no it would have but I'd like I'd like
the thing but this is a dream cast here is this whoever he won oh maybe um god you got me there I'm
so bad with celebrity names as well just trying to think um probably who would play these people
god no idea I have no idea that's okay stop on that one that's okay come back to me on that
when I'm on cool afran doesn't know we just put a pause in this podcast be like hold on I
gonna call somebody it's also super late there like no one's like did you imagine if you call
somebody right now and you're like oh so hey like I'm gonna podcast and like who would be in a good
like an actor in a live action ready to it and it'd be like never fall here again yeah
why you're calling me god I'm just trying to yeah not have no idea have no idea I don't know
like who I'm trying to think who would be the the chef the the girl what's yeah I can't think
for me but I would want Emma Stone to play her oh yes definitely definitely and I would want the
evil food credit to be played by Steve Crow oh yes oh see there we go you got it both like this is
God this is my life I think of all this time of like who I would cast in these movies like
a casting director well not he said I'm a stone it's just reminded me of this spot this old
spot a man film what's his name Andrew Garfield yeah he would be wincoiny okay I take that I think
that's a good answer yeah but who would be Remi?
I don't know it could be anybody like maybe it would be anybody yeah why am I thinking what's his
face oh my god my brain's like not working the guy who plays the what okay say who you're thinking
and I can name them probably okay the little the character in hercules that not actually that
he wouldn't be that that's too old sounding I was gonna say the little got half goat
I don't know what is name the guy who plays the half the voice actor of the half goat in
I don't know okay now you're testing me to all of it I'm not sure
I bet you can watch it here it's like it's very bad then you're like you guys are just me
I told you I really really okay by playing it's just like pooping at the moment but it's so
not really that I don't know what Danny to Vita yeah okay that's who I thought it was but I
wanted call for racial like appreciates Danny to Vita yeah I was like Danny but Danny to be
doing funny but like that's not really at all I don't know I don't know maybe Danny to Vita is
