That would be awesome!
about 2
3 success seems to be the threshold.
Should be on here homie
This guy lives his life minute by minute
I like how everyone is smiling and how pure and honest this interview is. This is what I needed for this Monday!
People didn’t go anywhere, you’ve just got to reach them differently!
- Tai Verdes
Ayeeeee love Tai’s music, happy to see this interview
This was so good! Prop to you guys for getting Tai!
Love this show! So much to take from it.
The thing that i like the most about watching colin and samir is that it's just so calming on your mind. You relax, sit back , be a sponge and absorb all the wisdom and ideas.
the content on this channel is so well-done and next level, it's major network quality and so digestable! I honestly haven't learned this much from a channel since Crash Course in high school- keep killing it!
yup
Unlike most viral TikTok artists, Tai didn't ride the success of any single song for too long. I think there are going to be a lot of one-hit wonders on TikTok, who feel the success of a single song and don't realize when to give up on that hype and move on. Obviously, everyone blows up on one song, Tai did too, but he knew when to move on to his next viral hit. It helps that his music slaps every time, too
This is so great guys! I can’t stop smiling the hole episode, then the final performance… WOW😶🌫️ this is the things that Makes me smile truly, thanks
Tai's songwriting is super smart. I always love when a song speaks to me, or hooks me with the first line. If I can identify with the lyrics, I get that same satisfaction that I do when a comedian points out an observation that I feel like everyone's noticing but no one's talking about. Genius connection to the comedian's lens!
Lol I assume you don't do drugs...😉.
What cool, charismatic and inspirational guy. This is definitely in my top favorite episodes of you guys❤️🎶
Bert Kreischer did a podcast with Casey Neistat where he talked about fan culture. He quoted a fan who said that being a fan is like feeling successful when the celebrity you like succeeds. I think Tai really appealed to that angle with his come up on TikTok. As Samir said, everyone wanted to help Tai out and root for him. They felt attached to him, like they were "choosing" him and following him and when he succeeded, they succeeded too. They could go tell their friends that their favorite TikTok musician was doing better because of their support, and they felt grateful to have a hand in that
Totally, also loved that interview with Casey and Bert
Oh my gosh lets gooo, I love Collin and Samir AND Tai Verdes
SAME LESGO
I think it's safe to say that we need an acoustic session at the end of every podcast now. Legend.
Agreed
Agreed
This is literally the best podcast in the world I don't care about what anybody has to say
This interview made me fall in LOVE with him. I love A-O-K and I know I’m not the only person who has “random” songs and artists in their playlists and you just imagine what the artist(s) look like. If you’re like me you don’t usually “stalk” an artist you just found unless you see a video of them.
Plenty of ppl I thought may be darkskin tall fit may be brown skin average build or in this case I think they’re one thing (white) and they’re black or Asian etc. it just reminds me of how our minds work in mysterious ways. It’s so cool how we can create all of these different stories in our head. Like literally you can wake up and now you have 2+ stories if I get up right now and do this this and this then x might happen but if I stay in bed a little longer y might happen or again if I get on my phone x might happen it’s just crazy.
I discovered Tai it’s been 2 months on UA-cam his story is really inspiring. There’s no way I could think he came up like he did
One of my favorite episodes! Very good interview and he has a really good vibe!
Yoo this was an amazing interview guys!! Had no clue Tai went to Babson. I went there for a year and currently taking my second gap year to pursue music in LA, so it's super inspiring for me to hear Tai's journey. Keep it up guys!!
Dam Tai Verdes, Colin and Samir have shown the world how to Just DO It so there is no excuses now. This is a gold mine of social knowledge on todays way to create. Just create your changing the world !
UGH I love you guys, been binging your stuff all day. Totally hooked!
Met this dude a few weeks ago, definitely a chill guy, and his story reminds me a lot of the journey I’m on right now with video creating.
Y’all always get the best guesstttss.
his story should definitely be turned into a whole movie
Eu encontrei esse canal hoje e já vi 3 vídeos.
Estou encantada, melhor YT channel 🙌🏾
🥇Tai is a smart business man as well. Holler from Hong Kong - Asian Food Nerd
this boy smart
bruh he is underrated af. I was among the first few thousand people to lsn to his music. I would tell my frds abt him but no one knew him. It is amazing to finally have someone acknowledge him. I love u both. I've been wanting this for months now but never knew it was already out😭
what an absolute genius! I sent this video to my artist friend, like I've literally been trying to get him to upload short form for so long now
Like Victoria Paris, Tai Verdes has such a business mind. He did music both because he loved it and because it was scalable. His success wasn't an accident, just like Victoria, he almost knew he was gonna succeed
This is my new favourite interview
That exclusivity angle with the sharing on TikTok is something I've never thought about. But it's so true, everyone feels good when you share a TikTok like that
he killed it!
damn what up omar
I love including the set at the end :)
Never even heard a Tai Verdes song clicking on this video, now I'm leaving this video a big Tai Verdes fan
This is such a good interview...
... & love *Tai Verdes* & his songs...!!! & yep... I was also one of those who first found out about him way back when his _Stuck In The Middle_ song went viral...!!! Love the video for that song too...!!! 👍 🎧 🎵 🧡 🙂
Loved this one! I had to stop tiktok months ago because it took over my life ;) I remember Tai and his living room video. So nice to see what happend to him - and his music is 😍
You guys are killing it!
Seeing this man in September in NYC !! So stoked
Another great video fellas!
great episode! Tai is such a nice person
Love it! Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭!
yo Colin and Samir, you guys are really pumping good eps out
Another great episode! Content creators really seem to be the ones who have the leverage now! I'm gaining a lot of great insights :)
This was so helpful! Thanks for sharing
Smart guy and super inspirational! Your show is a great conduit to stuff I don't see or hear of normally.
Such a cool guy. I appreciate the honesty thanks!!
this is so fun. Your personalities blend so damn well. It's 3am n i'm trying to hold in my giggles 😭
Man these episodes just get more and more inspirational!
I LOVE music on the show!!! Thanks guys
Tai is the best I mean like his past isn’t the sad past it gives him personality there is just little to no words to express
This is the 3rd time I've watch/listening to this, wish they talked about his transition from Tyler semicolon to tai Verdes, and why cause I haven't seen him talk about it! huge fan of both and what a beautiful mix
I saw this guy In flagstaff for his second concert ever I can’t believe it. I love this channel
what a fun and inspiring episode!
hey tai if u see this man u are doing great found u on tik tok glad u did a interview with my other guy's colin and samir and keep that hard work going
Nice interview video
This was so eye opening and refreshing to watch
Glad you liked it 🙌🏻🙌🏼
Amazing! Good job guys.
Great idea Colin And Samir. More live studio concerts please.
This was awesome! I’m not on TikTok, but I remember Tai from AYTO. This song was pretty damn good!! Definitely gonna check out more of his stuff.
This man is dropping gems like crazy
The performance gives me Shwayze & Cisco Adler vibes, love the next generation of chill music 💖
Love your videos guys
Almost watch this, but the coffee made me change my mind
Would not have it any other way than flat out… ICE ICE BABY!
The coffee conversation was perfect. Also, hot coffee, FTW.
I absolutely loved this episode guys, you guys are having a lot of fun. i hope you can get more artists like Tai to talk more about the creator/musician relationship.
Such an inspirational story!
Tai has a new fan for life
I love TAi's Music so much. A.O.K is one of my all time favorite songs
loved it!
Learned so much
So beautiful, should cut the end up for shorts 👀
yall make great stuff. keep it up.
damn i really wanted to hear Samir's reasoning about choosing iced coffee
He loved performing that. I'm quite literally crying right now. N he has so much knowledge bruh. This seriously shows that u dont need to go to college to make it. U need common sense and determination
I loved that 1st viral tik tok and have kinda kept up with him. Really happy for him :)
great episode
Incredibly inspiring video :)
24:37 when they are all laughing and enjoying that joke made me really happy lol
Love everything about tai love his hummilty and everything
LOL I had the same thought about the coffee intro
I will be on your show within three years
Good vid! Would love to get on this podcast
Tai Verdes looks and sounds like Shock G, lead vocalist of Hip Hop group Digital Underground
Drugs was the first Tai Verdes song I ever listened to, and that was 2 years ago. I'm just watching this episode of the podcast now and it's like worlds collide😂🫂 there's even a performance?! Mad!😂
I was invested in the coffee conversation where is this uncut ???
Already listened to the podcast using the podcast app on Apple.
Killed it. And Burried it deep.
First time I heard about Tai was on your show some episodes before. Big fan from then, thanks guys. "Later gang"
I agree with Samir... If you could only have one Hot or Iced... Iced definitely wins out.
This is inspiring me to focus on writing more lyrics to sing and rap
great one
Wow this is a great video!!!
This is really cool. Thanks for the constructive convo
HOW have I only found this channel days ago?!
new favorite artist
Good stuff !!
Very interesting! Nice video. ✌️
