051: Super Special Throwback Episode — When Connor Met Brandon Part 1

This week, we take a trip down memory lane for a very special someone’s birthday. You’ll hear a recording of when Connor and Brandon FIRST MET, and it was a raw, interesting interview where little did we know it would turn into something epic like The Adonyx Podcast and all that we are doing together now. We talk about our curse of being too nice, bond over awkward moments in filming, and how we deal with fame. Can you feel our chemistry?   Key Takeaways: [1:35] Connor shares how he got into the online fitness community to get respect from both men and women. [4:29] Brandon, how are you doing on your list of people you want to fight if you see them in person? [6:33] The guys bond over the formulas they use for their videos to go viral, the reactions and the confidence it gives them. [8:56] Yes, it was awkward at first when Connor was filming videos with random girls, but now it feels comfortable and everyone has fun. [13:40] Our creepiest messages on Instagram? From dudes. [15:28] The guys still need to get verified on Instagram. Keep looking for that blue check. Brandon woke up one day and saw he was verified on Facebook, but it’s harder to crack the code on Instagram. [18:17] Famous in college? It’s not as glamorous as you think. Not as many people come up to Connor, so it’s not like he is walking through the cafeteria signing autographs for the social justice warriors. [21:48] Connor shares a story of having to pay $1000 for a broken peephole. [26:33] We detail how we research our videos and plan them out, find people to be in our videos and then edit them, and it’s tougher than you may think. Especially for prank videos. [32:04] Don’t expect Connor-like results from your first YouTube video. It takes time, a lot of hard work and the ability to be cool with getting 30 views on your first 50 videos. The key is to pick videos that will get you out there, with the best sound and visual quality.   Mentioned in This Episode: Connor Murphy Talks YouTube page: @ConnorMurphyTalks Brandon’s YouTube page: @HighLifeWorkOut @KingKeto — Brandon Carter on Instagram @ConnorMurphyOfficial Adonyx Coaching Lean-Phuck Work for Connor Jeff Seid
