... over- overlooked that in your LinkedIn.

Uh, [chuckles] so it was a company called Ustream, and you described your role as product leader for the Shiba Inu puppy cam.

We need to hear more.

Yeah, yeah.

U- Ustream, Ustream is a funny, funny company.

It was like the first live streaming, uh...

It was one of the first live streaming companies alongside Livestream, the company actually called Livestream, and Justin TV with Justin Conn and, and him.

Like, kind of a golden age of, of live streaming that was first enabled by essentially like higher bandwidth and things like that.

And he just keeps experimenting with different ways that he can support himself as a comedian and inadvertently walks into becoming the world's first Twitch streamer, essentially.

You know, it's not on Twitch, but you watch the first episode of the Joe Rogan experience where he's on Ustream doing a live stream and taking questions from a chat room.

That's a Twitch stream.

Right.

I think he's just kind of repeating hacky concepts in a very animated way.

It's just interesting that he's always found, no matter what he's doing, he brings his personality to whatever medium is available.

Ustream, YouTube, Spotify.

It's all technically a different format, but he's bringing essentially the same thing.

It was streaming on one of those.

Yeah, it was Ustream and then something else.

But yeah, I remember that, the, The Comedy Store one.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[laughs] And so, but yeah So [laughs] then there was a 911 call and the whole thing, yeah.

Yeah, I mean it was TalkShoe, it was Ustream-

[laughs]

...

You're good.

Okay, cool.

Yeah, I was just gonna say too I re- I used to like tune into the Ustream like after Fan Days 3 and everybody, we were all friends at that point, I like tuned in every week to the Us- to the Ustream, and I literally like took off work, using vacation hours just to catch you guys each week.

That was-

So that, and people were following me in all of those separate platforms.

We also had something called Ustream where we were streaming.

I used to teach in my apartment in LA where I could, I will say, I'm going to be teaching a yoga class, um, at 5 PM on Ustream.

It's kind of like Twitch, but prior to Twitch.

And so I would just put on the camera.
