In today's special episode (which is probably going to doom it to a tiny view count), we talk about our glorious rise to YouTube superstardom, or - our slow grind to mediocrity. We go behind the scenes and cover a lot of the many, many things we've tried on YouTube, what we've achieved, and what we've learned. Which is not much.
