Sidney: How would I clean when a porn gets dirty? What should I use to build stills that are dirty?

Aron: Where could I breed a new

Sidney: species of bird?

Explain like I'm 30. Welcome everyone to explain like I'm 30, I'm your host, Sydnee Raskin, a k a, Sydnee, Raz, all over the internet. Thank you so much for tuning into the very first episode. We're here. So this show is basically going to be me asking. People that have the craziest jobs that you've never heard of, what that's like, and like what?

Like what, what do you even do in that job? And, and just explain it to me like I'm 30 because I want to know all of these things. But today we have a very special guest, one of the very producers of this show, to make sure that very producers. The very producer, Aron. Wow. One of the very exciting producers of this show.

Aron: That's like a, that's like a vague compliment. You give somebody of like, how, how, how is my producing? You were of all the producers, you are very producer. You are very

Sidney: producer. Aron, Cordy, Aron. Say hi, hi. How do we know each other? Aron, what is what? How did this even happen? What are you doing to

Aron: me right now?

Well, I have one of the hardest jobs in the world, so

Sidney: I actually You do. That's true. You do. You have to make me a podcaster, which is very difficult for everyone. Uh,

Aron: listen, arguably impossible. But here we are. It's kinda like Schrodinger's podcast. It's like, it's like until. This very moment, it could, you could have been thriving as a podcaster or or suffering, and this was just a, a dumpster fire.

And now that we've opened it exactly,

Sidney: I. I don't know what this now, now what? We just exist. This is going to be an interesting episode because we are working out so many things. We're trying to figure it out. We're going to, we're gonna on the fly, make mistakes, work hard, break shit is what they say in Silicon Valley or work.

I like the quiet

Aron: self-deprecation. You're doing like, it's a little asmr. It's like, it's like,

Sidney: yeah, well we're gonna be, we're gonna a mess. We're gonna do this, we're gonna go hard. This is what it's all, this is what it's all about. I mean, I don't know exactly. Um, people always tell me that I have a voice for radio, which is like a very nice thing for people to say.

But, um, they also say, I have a face for radio sometimes, which is like also the worst thing that people could say. Mm-hmm. So, I'm wondering, I think you're very handsome.

Aron: I think you're, thank you. Aron. Maybe it's cuz we look very similar, but I think you're stunning.

Sidney: I think it's, it's important to always, um, have another Jew on the side of the camera to tell me and each other that we're very handsome because our mother said it to us so much and now we need it all the time.

Aron: If you're listening at home, just know that we are very good looking guys over.

Sidney: We are so. So attract, I mean, it is, it is wild.

Aron: So we'll be back next week with more conversations about ourselves. No, look, uh, I mean, I'm really excited that you're doing this, Syd. So we, we've known each other for a little bit.

You. That's true. So I, I host, I host a

Sidney: podcast called Host Values. Host one of my favorite podcasts, by the way, which, when I was on it, I felt very, very scared of saying the wrong thing. So what is exactly, what is human values? Aron.

Aron: Well, I'm not gonna do a hard plug, but, you know, it's a, it's a, it's a comedy game show podcast about your, your price to do obscure, horrible, crazy things.

Yes. So we asked you a bunch of them and like, it was awesome having you on. But that's how Sydnee and I, like, I knew of your content, but like we didn't know, and we've known a lot of the same people in the same circle. Yes. But we've never really hung out. And then you came on and did that with me and Lindsay.

Who is my co-host who now funny also, she's kind of, we're in an open podcast relationship cuz she's also co-hosting podcasts with Moby. Yes. Um, which I dunno if you've heard that, but she's crushing it on there. But yeah, it was just like you and I clicked like two little puzzle pieces. True. We just snapped right in.

That's true. And. Thus blossomed, a friendship that turned into, um, you and our whole team and all the other producers on this, just being buddies and wanting to do something

Sidney: stupid together. And here we are. Yeah. You know, that that first podcast that we were on together felt, um, like an accidental interview to be on your podcasts team.

And it was like, yeah, exactly. And it was like, it was like, oh, I'm just gonna like, have fun and, and hang out with these people. Then all of a sudden it was, I had an email like, Hey, you're cool. And I was like, oh my gosh. Thank

Aron: you. I am. Cool. It was a nice first date and by end of it, Sydnee, I mean, I was calling all my friends the next day saying, Sydney's very giving, he,

Sidney: he's very giving.

Texted Aron texted me, no, he didn't even wait till the next day. And I was like, oh my gosh, he really likes me. This is amazing.

Aron: Okay. So, but here's the real thing is like, I feel like it's important people understand what the hell they're getting into with this show. Sure. And how it's like everyone and their mom has a podcast right now.

Sure. And everyone. Does things, but like you're Mr. Information Shock

Sidney: Jock. Yeah. Is that who I am? Am I, Mr. Information

Aron: Shock Jock? So, Kind of like, you're, like, you drop, you drop these little truthy bombs on people. Um, like, like, like Maury revealing, who is it Maury who reveals who the father is? I think it is.

Yeah. Or that you're not the father, so you're like

Sidney: the Yeah, yeah. I mean, I mean,

Aron: Can you elevator or pitch yourself to anyone listening who, who came to the show for me, but wonders who the host

Sidney: is? So if you're listening and you're the biggest fan of Aron, thank you so much for being here. Um, it's a really, really, really, really, uh, wide net and just so many big fans of Aron.

So again, I, I really appreciate that. But this show is going to be, About, like I said, you know, it's going to be about asking people that have jobs that we don't actually know about that make the world turn how those jobs work. Okay.

Aron: So Syd, what are your like aspirations for like guests? So like what? Like give me your top three of like the kinds of guests you would want.

What's

Sidney: each shoot at? I want to know who cleans the Statue of Liberty. That's a big one. Yeah. I wanna know who is that person. There's a person that does that, right? I want to know who in their right mind would want or, or who is the person in Los Angeles that goes through the hiking trails and just picks garbages.

A lot of cleaning people. A lot of cleaning people. I'm thinking in my head, I'm like, oh, I need to clean my house. Or like, who is the person that. Makes sure that every single legend of Zelda cartridge is perfectly placed mm-hmm. In the packaging. Mm-hmm. Who is that person? Mm-hmm. One of the things that I, I was really hoping to get was a Waffle House lime cook, because mm-hmm.

Apparently they have a language where if you place the butter on a single side of the plate, That tells the other cooks what the actual order is. So like a really butter on the left side of the plate means you want bacon butter on the right side of the plate means you want ham. That's what I want to know.

Aron: You want the lingo? You wanna be able to like turn to your wife sometimes in the morning? Yes. And be like, Hey, can I get a, a two-sided griddle, uh, butter baby? Yes. I want to know

Sidney: if I am at an in and out. I want to know what it means when there's a straw on a certain part of the burger. Because that's where the straws go, that that means that I wanted grilled onions,

Aron: uh, sloppy.

Two sider, please. Like, I wanna,

Sidney: I wanna walk around the world and know the lingo, so everyone's impressed with me. That's what I want from the

Aron: show. Yes. Yeah. You go to a restaurant, uh uh, Hey, uh, uh, hold the Fernando and Exactly, they know what you mean. Hold the Fernando like, okay, I wanna walk great. I wanna walk it to

Sidney: Eddie location around the world, and go, mm-hmm.

Hey guys, listen, skip boop boop. And then they just know that I've worked there for 10 years. That you

Aron: want, right? Like skip boop, pop. He's like, all right. Get 'em akin to dry ice. Exactly. You know, like everyone knows what you want. You know what I wanted is I wanted a porn fluffer on the show. Yes. And you revealed to us when you talked to your porn star friend that those don't exist.

So that know made me very sad and I resent you for it and I'll never let it go.

Sidney: Well, I'm very sorry about

Aron: that Aron. But speaking of letting things go, should we take a quick break and then we're gonna let a quick break and I didn't even get a finish my sentence. I

Thank you for joining us, Aron this, this episode's gonna be a little bit weird because this episode is about me because you wanted to ask me what I do for a living, and now we're, well,

Aron: now we're gonna do it.

And I feel weird. Well, we were writing this whole show and it was like people with interesting, strange, obscure jobs and we were just like our whole team, like all other producers, we were just like, wait a minute, Sydney's got a fucking crazy job. Like, let's, why, why are we not asking you about you?

Sidney: Yeah.

And so I, and then you sent that, you sent me that email and I thought, oh no. Okay. And like I had to like get used to the spotlight's on you. Yeah. So here we

Aron: go. I guess. Before we go deeper into your career, I wanna do, I do wanna clarify. So it is s Sydnee. Raskind, not raskin. Yes. Right? Yes. Because people say it every way and I just thought that was important to get off the bat.

I really appreciate

Sidney: that. So, yeah, so at at, so when I was in high school, I decided to go against my father's wishes and start saying kind because all of my. Father's, like cousins and stuff were like, hi, I am, I'm Raskin. I was like, oh, I'm gonna go against it. But my dad really liked kind, so I grew up with kind.

I stopped for about five to 10 years saying kind, and then I went back to Kind, and now I love it. Now I'm like, I'm Sydnee Raskind. Hey everyone, welcome to me. So it's kind. I'm a kind person I pretend to be and that's, that's where we are.

Aron: It's a really weird way to introduce yourself to

Sidney: strangers, but do it.

Thank you. Thank you, thank you. Yeah,

Aron: you're welcome. You're welcome. Thanks for seeing it as, as that, um, okay, so let's, let's, let's, let's go, let's go macro Sydney, what's your job? What would you call yourself? What's your title? What do you do for a living?

Sidney: Uh, okay. So my job is content creator. The other word is influencer.

The other word is toker. Um, day-to-day what I do is I create videos. Put 'em on the internet as a form of entertainment and then, uh, hopefully people enjoy them and share them. So it's an interesting thing because I've gone back and forth on like what I want to say to people when they ask me that. Um, but usually what I do is I say like, content creator, influencer, um, sure.

Cause that, that must be

Aron: a very loaded

Sidney: Yeah, it makes the most sense because like, In our heads, you know, you and I are very similar in age, but like in our heads when you say influencer, you think like Kim Kardashian or you know, someone that has like a very like, polished lifestyle, but like, I don't, and I just make videos all day and try to make sure that they're interesting and funny.

Like, you know,

Aron: I mean, I always group you and Kim Kardashian in my head together,

Sidney: so, you know, we're on a group thread, um mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Kim K, but you know,

Aron: Yeah. Uh, it's very weird. I've seen, you've shown me your texts. It's all dipping dots

Sidney: trivia. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

Aron: yeah. It's so weird. I did not know that she's an active investor

Sidney: in dipping dots.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which is weird cause I hate dipping dots, but you know, it's one of our banter things. It's not what we're asking

Aron: about today. Okay. So, so sydnee. All right. So just for anyone who doesn't know, I feel like everyone in the world has at least seen you once on their phone at some point, but that is one of the nicest things.

Sidney: Talk about the videos you make. Yeah, that is, that is shut up.

Aron: I don't get used to it. What, what kind of talk about the videos you make or I, I, uh, either I can talk about you or you talk about you. Let's have you talk about you. I'll, I'll, I'll talk about me. What kind of videos do you make?

Sidney: Because this, this podcast is all about, is all about me.

Um, mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. So the type of videos that I make are life hacks, tips and tricks, and here comes the catchphrase. Things I wish I knew before was in my thirties. Um, and it's basically like me discovering things that. You know, seemingly simple things that I thought we all knew that we were doing, but I guess we weren't doing those correctly.

So, um, If it's how to use a can opener or, you know, which way does a, uh, how many sheets of toilet paper are you supposed to use? Or, um, you know, how does a trash bag go in a trash can correctly to get the most optimized trash bag experience? Um, that kind of thing. And it's just like day in, day out, five times to seven times a week of posting those videos.

And, um, it's been a crazy couple of years, but that, that is really what put me on the map.

Aron: I wanna know, when did you start posting content? Yep. And then much different question. When did you first know that, like, you were like, oh, I'm not just some, like guy whose friends likes his stuff, but like, oh gosh, hundreds of thousands, millions.

Like people now all of a sudden are seeing me on a wider scale. Like I am a, I'm an influencer. Yeah.

Sidney: I'm like in the game. So it, it's interesting because when I started making videos, I was in college and, or actually I was in high school and I had, I had like just come, um, I was like 18 years old and I started making YouTube videos because everyone else was getting popular on the internet and I didn't want to have an office job.

So what I started doing was I started making YouTube videos and I was real bad at it. I didn't have any, Experience. I didn't have anything. So I kept doing that for a while. And, uh, I went to community college. I went to a four year vcu, um, go Rams in Virginia. Uh, I failed out of that, but while I was at college, I was still making YouTube videos.

I was still making, you know, trying to be a YouTuber. Trying to be a YouTuber. What kind of videos, what

Aron: was your genre? Geez. Were sketches. Were you Uh,

Sidney: I was vlogging for cooking a while cooking. Yeah, I did, I did vlogs, um, I did daily vlogs. That was a lot of fun. Um, and then I did these things where basically I.

Kind of a lot, a lot like the videos I make now in my own mind, but they're not at all like it. But I basically, like, I didn't want to be a single thing. So what I would do is I would go into, um, I would go into different areas of, of the college campus and around Richmond and. Basically pretend to be different things.

So like, I was a cat, I was a jellyfish, I was a leprechaun, I was a statue, I was a blade of grass, was my very first one. I was a slug, I was a, um, giant dancing Turkey.

Aron: You know, like these kinda things. I need more context. I feel like others will need context. What the hell are you talking about? No. So like, that's it.

Like, that's the whole context of No, but like, what, what, what? No, but you can't just say, I was a, a blade of grass in everyone listening is like, mm, I get it. I get exactly what he means by doing a vlog as a blade of grass. No, no, no. Okay.

Sidney: So what I would, so what I would do is I would set up my camera in a static position and a blade of grass.

What does a blade of grass do? Doesn't do anything. So you just, I just sat in a lawn and I was a blade of grass. I shot that from like six different angles. I put some copyright free music under it, and then I uploaded it to YouTube. Now, from there, I went into one of the most trafficked areas of the Virginia Commonwealth University campus, and I, it's called the Compass, the Campus Compass, and I set a camera up in the middle and there.

I pretended to be a cat. I got uh, cat nose, I got cat ears and I just. Had a camera in front of me and I just walked through frame or crawled or pawed, uh, wa Yeah. As a cat and I trounced, trounced and I asked people to pet me. I asked people to interact with me as if I was a cat. I would rub my head, you know, around I, I think I actually drank milk out of a salsa.

I got pet on the head by the campus police. And that went viral. Yeah. I

was

Aron: gonna ask you, what's it like, what's it like spending an evening in a gel cell

Sidney: dressed like a cat? Well, but that, that, so actually a gif of that went viral on Reddit and that was the first time I was ever, uh, front page of Reddit.

And I cried that night cuz I was so excited. And then, yeah, and I, and then like, All of that sort of, I kept doing that, kept doing that, and I kind of got some notoriety around campus, but then I was like, I have to move to Los Angeles, because that's where all the YouTubers live. Aron you, and I know this, back in like 2012, everyone was here.

All of the, you know, multi-channel networks were here. Make your studios, all of 'em. Right. Full screen, everything. Were

Aron: they reaching out to you at that time? They were. Or were you just like, I'm gonna, okay. Yeah. So you, you had that cat video go viral. Yep. Yeah. And then the. For anyone listening who doesn't know around that time, 2011 to two 20, maybe 2014.

14, 20 15. Yeah. Right. It was the era of like the multi-channel networks. MCNs, the, yep. What, what do we have? We had maker full screen,

Sidney: Machinima. Machinima. Yep. Uh, I think those were the big three. I mean, there were some other ones that were around, but like, if you could get into like full screener maker especially, you were good.

But those were like the

Aron: big digital networks that were signing every, every before the term influencer existed, right? Yeah. It was just YouTubers. Yeah, it

Sidney: was creators. It was, and it basically anytime, so if you think about like any time a video would go viral and you could kind of see like someone trying to be a YouTuber, they would sign them to a contract that would screw them.

Yeah. And, and then, yep. But you would feel like you were really doing something and you were, you were really part of something. So for me, I was there, I was a part of it. I had friends that were YouTubers, I, you know, uh, one of, actually the, one of the founders of Maker Studios, uh, named me. Right? Like Sydney Raz.

So we, I, so, okay, so going back, um, Shea, Carl, Charles Trippi, you know, all of those guys. We were all in. This is the maker world. Yeah, we were all in New York City for a YouTube gathering, which is what we called it back in the day before VidCon was a thing and we pranked Times Square into thinking I was Andy Sandberg.

And that was the big one, which was like, right, oh, you're right, you're YouTuber now. Right? So, I went from Squid 5 65 was my original YouTuber name, and then I went to Sydney Raz. And then from 2009 on, I've been Sydney Raz. So that's kind of like, so I was already in that world and I lived in that world. So then I moved to Los Angeles, you know, and I just kind of like kept going and I worked at a YouTube company and it was just sort of keep it on, keep it on.

Um, and then all of a sudden, TikTok came around and it was like 2019. And I had failed at pretty much every avenue of influencer there was. And then I was like, oh, this is like old school YouTube. I know how to do this and it's short form. I know how to do that. I can just upload a video every single day and see what happens.

And then all of a sudden, here's something I wish I knew before I was in my thirties, uh, blew up. And that's I think in like, to go to your original question, I think in 2021, 2021 or 2020, I realized that my, my existence on the internet was no longer for family. It was for. Consumption, if that makes any sense.

Yeah,

Aron: that's what I was curious about is, and actually I wanna take a step back. Let's keep that as a pinned teaser for everybody. Yeah. Yep, yep. Where it wound up, because I, I, I'm personally curious to know, so you were doing the whole YouTubey thing Yep. And being in that world. Yeah. And with like the, you were, you were, you were, you were running, running in the fields with all the standard players of that world.

Yeah. Yeah. And then what I'm curious about is two things. One, When Vine came up. Mm-hmm. Did that get your attention or did you kind of breeze

Sidney: past Vine? Yeah, yeah. No, I was on Vine, but the problem was that I'm not funny. I. Especially in six seconds. Yeah, no, I know. Yeah. Thank you. I know. Thank you. Thank you for validating that.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Um, but I'm not like, it's, it, so Vine was really hard for me because it also seemed like they were making jokes and they were making edits that like I just didn't have access to on my phone and I didn't have access to it on my computer. Right. So it always felt like it was very sketch comedy.

Yeah. Yeah. It felt like it was very like, slightly out of reach for me. Um, but I was still working at. F b e, right? I was, I was there. Um, well, okay, hold on. You know what's funny? I kind of gloss over the fact that I had worked in digital for 10 years before I got internet

Aron: famous. Yeah. So you were like, you were like in that whole world.

So you and I were both working in like the producer creative studio space in the MCN world around the same time. You just, you just. Kept making content also and like became a creator in that sense. But you were working with the Fine Brothers,

Sidney: right? Yeah. Yeah. So there were a few bigger channels in the YouTube world, right?

There's like Smoosh, there's mythical, there was F B E, um, you know, E you know, epic rap battles. Fb, F B

Aron: E is Fine. Brothers Entertainment, fine Brothers Entertainment.

Sidney: I'm sorry, doesn't know React. Yeah, fbe, find Brothers Entertainment. Um, the React series, kids React, teens, react, all that good stuff. And. So, yeah, so basically when I moved here in 2012, I knew that I had to be a part of the YouTube world somehow, right?

So for me, that was working as an intern at Fine Bros. You know, when it was like 10 people, and making sure that I was still a part of that YouTube world because I, in my heart, I've always been a YouTuber. That's who, that's who I am, right? I'm a content creator. I've always wanted to make digital content.

So then, I basically, yeah. Worked there, uh, for about a year and a half. Took a little break because I want, I needed to go earn money and I was an intern there, so I, I worked at Google for a little bit as like a, I was a glass hole, if anyone remembers Google Glass. I was one of the guys selling Google Glass to people.

Um, I'd

Aron: never heard the term

Sidney: glass hole. Yeah. But I love that. That's amazing, right? And mm-hmm. Um, well, I love it. And, and then, and I was still making videos. I was living in Santa Monica and I was a chimpanzee on Santa Monica Pier a few one time. Um, that's still on YouTube. Is that a video you did or just Yeah, that's story.

There's a story. That's a thing I did. No, it's a, yeah, yeah. I don't know. Um, I then I went back to work with the Fine Bros and I was there for like five years. And in that time it kind of felt like I was constantly trying to be a influencer. Um, but more importantly I was sort of like learning what it takes to be a content creator, right?

I was learning, right, what analytics I needed to pay attention to or that kind of thing. Sure. Um, how much I needed to upload, what it takes to sort of like continue, um, how much I need to respond to comments in order to get people to come back in order to get. People to watch my video again, you know, like that, that kind of thing.

Sure. Calculating engagement

Aron: off of all of those metrics.

Sidney: Yeah, and it was just like those little things that I always, always, always had to pay attention to, but in the back of my head, I would see all of these YouTubers come in for like YouTubers react or whatever, and I'd be like, why am I not? Uh, you like what?

Like I'm not different than any of them. I know I'm not, I know I can do this. This

Aron: You were in those, right? Huh? Weren't you in the React? You were in the React videos, right?

Sidney: I was. I was in like staff react and stuff. Yeah. Yeah. And it was a lot of fun. Um, but in my head I was always like, I want to be a, I want to be on the other side of this.

I want to be a content creator. So, um, for me it was like I went to college. For, I went to a regular college for two years, failed out, but then I went to like another college, which was working at Fine Bros. And that was for me, like constantly moving around, constantly learning. Mm-hmm. You know, figuring out what all of these things were so that one day I could take it and be like, oh, I know how to do this.

And that was what TikTok was. Yeah. It was like old school YouTube mixed with short form content. And if I could just do this for a year and a half or two years, every single day or multiple times a day. Yeah. And not interfere with my life at all. I will be that and that's where I am now.

Aron: Yeah. It definitely felt like, I feel, I feel like a lot of us of our generation who like worked in digital really felt, it feels like we all went to grad school together, even if it was at different companies.

Cuz we all had such similar experiences. Yeah. Making massive amounts of content that had billions of views and followers. Yep. At these incredible skills. Yep. While being dirt poor. Yep. But working at the companies that had the biggest valuation in media at that time. Well, it was a very weird

Sidney: shared experience.

Exactly. And I think that like, especially one thing that you and I really connected on was like, oh, you were a maker. Oh, what was that like when it shut down? Like, oh God, you know, cuz like, especially in those five years that we're talking about digital completely changed. It went from NCN to like, not, not that, and then a lot of those bigger channels that, you know, closed down, they were under.

They were underperforming cuz Facebook completely screwed the game. And like we were all just in there like watching and and going, this is crazy. And we were, I mean all of a sudden people from Maker were coming to React and people from React were going to Smosh or going to Mythical. And it was like we were all just like, yeah.

Intertwined with each other.

Aron: It, well, it's funny now, podcasting, the culture of podcasting feels so similar to those early days. Really. I. Yeah, I, it, it reminds me a lot of it in, in the good, in good ways. Yeah. I think a lot of people learn their lessons. Yeah, I know. Me and a lot of the people, uh, I work with, like we all learned a lot of lessons from, cuz we've worked it, we've worked, uh, just like you, like we've worked on all the different digital networks that came and went.

And I think you see how people can smell oil and then there's the rush for that. Yeah. Or you know, gold and there's a gold rush. But like, I think with podcasting, people are realizing, oh, It's a lot more intimate. It's a lot more vulnerable. Yeah. So you can't just do these quick short things that you're in and out.

Um, I don't know what I'm getting at. I guess just the culture of the business and what the creators remind me of early YouTube, how it's like the wild west of creative.

Sidney: Yeah, and I think that's kind of like, yeah, that was one of the most exciting parts about TikTok too, was it felt like old YouTube, right?

It felt like all of these communities. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All of these communities were popping up, all of these creators were popping up, going viral for no reason at all. And it was like, oh, I know how to, I know how to do this. I watched this happen 15 years ago, so. I knew that like, if, if you do X, Y, and Z, post a video every day, interact with comments, you know, even if they're not real videos that you need.

It's like, you know, especially people that have worked in digital a long time, we knew how this worked. And with, with TikTok, with short form, with, with podcasting, it's like, it's like, oh, we've been around a lot. So we know how to do this.

Aron: It reminds me of how, remember an early breaking bad when Walt would make meth and Oh, spoiler.

For anyone who's listening, if they haven't seen it breaking bad, they make meth. Yeah. Uh, but Walt would make meth and remember Jesse would be like, that's art. And he's like, that's not art. It's chemistry. Yeah. It's like, well, that's art. And like they would go back and forth. It also feels the same of like, you can look at it as an art form or you can look at it from the pure analytics point.

Yeah. And both ways are correct of like, there is a method to the madness. Yeah.

Sidney: And I think that it helps. Stave insanity. When you're just sort of like looking at it as more of the content perspective of like, no, no, no, like I'm doing this, like there's, there's a method to this madness. I'm not just like doing it in like ad hoc, like whenever I feel like it, even though I, I am, it's just like, I am, I'm very pointed in what I need to do, so.

Right. You know, it's, it's just, it's a very interesting world to live in. And, um, I don't know, I just, I always wanna talk about those things more in like, the good old days or like what it's like now to be a content creator. But I don't know if anyone really wants to listen to that. So I

Aron: feel bad. No, I think your story, I think your story's really interesting here.

Let's, let's, let's, let's, let's kind of take your story to its full circle conclusion then. Sure. Of where we're at now, which is, I. How did, at some point, your career took a big shift, of course, and like you started becoming Mr. Lifehack. Mm-hmm. Right? Yeah. How did that, how did that kind of like, was that during the pandemic?

I like, I feel like I started seeing a lot of those from you during the pandemic. Yeah. I mean, or at least that's when I

Sidney: discovered your stuff. Yeah. So basically what happened was I went, I, I actually wasn't working at Fine Bros anymore in early 2020 and, um, Then from there, I was unemployed for basically 10 months, or I wasn't unemployed for 10 months.

And then I started, but I was still making videos every single day because I knew TikTok was the answer. Like I knew it. I ju, I just, I was like, I know what this is. So I was making videos every single day. And then around 2021, um, actually two years ago now, today actually, uh, I. Posted, here's something I wish I knew before I was in my thirties and I posted a video of me wearing, uh, um, wearing a travel pillow differently.

And that was really when I

Aron: started. Was that the, was that, it was that the

Sidney: video picked that all off the first video, but it was like I could see growth happening on my page, so I was like, that video was everywhere. Yeah. So I kept on going. I kept on going, and then around right now I was like, here's something I wish I knew before I was in my thirties.

Travel pillows go in front. And that was the first one where it was like on Business Insider, it was on Buzzfeed, it was on, you know, it was everywhere. And I was like, oh, okay, so I am just gonna do this more. So then I kept posting, kept posting, kept posting. This was, again, 2021. And, um, I did like three videos a day.

And, uh, and then I, in like, I. September of 2021, I had a million followers on TikTok and it was like a hundred thousand followers a week. A week from a hundred thousand to a million. And it was just, what would you do with that? Like

Aron: I, is it just abstract to you?

Sidney: Like when that's happening to you? It was one of those things where like, I was watching it happen and I thought, okay, okay, okay, okay.

Holy shit. Holy shit. Holy shit. Holy shit. It's actually happening. It's actually happening. Sure. And then meanwhile, in December of 2021, I still had a job interview. Right. So like, sure. So like I have a million followers on. Uh, TikTok and I'm posting all the time on Instagram and I just still have a job.

And it was just one of those things where it was like, I know this is my dream come true. I need it to happen. And mm-hmm. Uh, yeah, it was just like a constant, it was just a constant grind, bro. And. Yeah, I mean that, and that's kind of like, and then I, I kind of like sank into like, oh, I'm the life hack guy.

Uh, about a year ago I would say, I'm like, okay, like I'm showcasing life hacks that are doable.

Aron: Um, is this something you like, woke up in the middle of the night and turned your wife and like, Babe, wake up. I'm the life hike. I'm the life hack guy. Like, like how, like did you have a moment? It

Sidney: was kind of like that.

It was like, I think we were like, you know, eating lunch or something and I go, oh fuck, I'm the life hack guy, aren't I? And she goes, yeah.

Aron: That's the most Jewish way to, to like actualize success, by the way. Is, is just like, you know what I mean? Like that's just, there's nothing more Jewish than, oh, oh, something's going well, fuck yeah. It's just like,

Sidney: god damn it.

Aron: Kind of the, the Roy Kent thing, right? Because you know, he Exactly. He's Jewish too.

It's just like anything's going well, and like that's the, just anyone listening, if you wanna understand Jews in the modern age, it's if something's not going well, we know how to function. If things are going well, we do not know what to do.

Sidney: Amazing. Uh, well, uh, what do you think? Should we take a break?

Aron: Uh, yeah.

One question before we go to break and then we'll go to break. Do you think after all this and we're at now, are you a more efficient person because of all this? Am I a more efficient of all the hacks you've learned? Because like Mr. Life hack?

Sidney: Oh yeah. I mean I would say I, yeah, I mean I would say I'm definitely more efficient at making content because it took me a long time to figure that No, no, I don't care.

I

Aron: don't care about you professionally. But I wanna know in your life day to day, are you a more like efficient I would person, due to all these life hacks? I would

Sidney: say I have found that I accident, like I subconsciously, as my therapist would say, uh, I do that. I do things more efficiently now because I'm like, oh, I could just do it this way instead.

And it makes more sense. And it has helped me definitely, um, get to a point where like, you know, I'm saving a few seconds or, uh, you know, I'm, I'm blowing someone's mind. And it's, it's great. It feels really good to do things correctly. Fair

Aron: enough. Um, okay, Mr. Efficient, what's the most efficient way to get us into a break?

Sidney: What's the most efficient way? Hey everyone. We'll be right back. With more Eli 30. Welcome back everybody to ELI 30. Hey, thanks for listening. You made it this far and we love you for it.

Aron: Aron you doing? Why are you telling them the name of your own show? Oh, like they know what

Sidney: they're listening to. Well, just in case they're tuning in for the first time.

That's what people on cable news do. Is that not what you do? Yeah. A lot of

Aron: people, a lot of people go on podcasts and they're like, you know what? The first episode of this news show, let me jump in. Oh, here and see, and like you're introducing it to them.

Sidney: Well, it's the first episode. So in case they accidentally clicked on it, they're reminded constantly that click away.

So,

Aron: In case you accidentally just clicked on this episode. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I know you were looking for Oh, for, uh, for npr. Uh, I, I know you're looking for Wait, wait. Don't tell me, but you know. Yeah.

Sidney: You're looking, you're looking for, uh, learn something new every day. But you clicked on Eli 30. Sorry, everyone.

Aron: Um, okay. Well if you're just tuning in to Eli 30 and didn't know what you were listening to, you're listening to that Talkers podcast that you love. That's hilarious. That's who you are. Yeah, you're that, you're, that you're that

Sidney: life hack guy. Welcome back everybody. Thanks for thanks for listening. I'll get used.

Do

Aron: it. Um, I love being reductive about a person's identity based on how they create

Sidney: content's. Yes, exactly. That's just all I am. It's healthy. I'm the life hack guy. That's it.

Aron: That's, that's healthy. Um, okay, so I have a game I want play with you if you're down. Beautiful. Let's do it. Okay.

Sidney: Well better be a fun game though if

Aron: it's not a fun game.

Yeah, I was gonna say, I was gonna say, you, you kind of said yes a little quick, so now I kind of want to be like, I do like a boring, so here's a game I came up with last night. As I thought about you, I thought about how late was it water. 11, Uhhuh 11, uh, um, I was thinking about what are life hacks that I might have that you didn't know?

I. Okay. And I would imagine you're gonna know all of them because you're Mr. Mr. Life hack. You're probably Mr. Well, I was gonna say, you're also Mr. Everyone and their mom, who, you know, probably sends you life hacks 24 7. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm gonna try a couple on you. Yep. And if you, if you know them, I want you to shame me.

Okay. If you don't know them, I wanna feel special. Okay?

Sidney: Okay. All right. Cool. This is exciting. All right.

Aron: By the way, I do wanna say, before I do the list, I'm holding up a bottle of Tylenol. Oh yeah. Our, our, our, our newest sponsor Tylenol. No, no. Um, extra strength Tylenol. You did this recently. You already know this, but my favorite hack you ever did was one, not too long ago.

Yeah. I, I believe, yeah. Where you talked about how medicine bottles. Yep. Anyone listening? I'm twisting the cap with the childproof lock on, uh, hold on. There you go. Look at that. I'm twisting the cap on a childproof lock. Uh, on a bottle. You can hear it. It's not opening as I twist it, but if you just push it upright at it comes off,

Sidney: uh, wait.

You're, you do, you do?

Aron: Yeah. It comes off and it's just a stable, it's just a stable

Sidney: cap. Isn't that incredible? It's just, isn't that incredible?

Aron: How did I not know that till I was in my thirties? Isn't well,

Sidney: thank you, Sydnee. Isn't that true? You're welcome. I didn't, I mean, I just, it was like one of those things where, you know, going through trying to figure out how to really showcase how simple it is was just something that I just like, could not believe.

And yeah, I, I think that saved a lot of people's lives that day, and I appreciate that. It's

Aron: good. I, I appreciate that. Like there's like you and then like cabby and the two of you on in the internet, your faces of disbelief, of people's ridiculousness, not knowing how the world should work. Yeah. I feel like both of you have great expressions for that,

Sidney: so thanks for being, I appreciate that.

Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. I've worked really hard to figure out which expression makes the most click, um, makes, makes the most like, Sense when you watch it. So it's like there's the exact expiration, there's all that stuff, but it's, it's, uh, what, what, what is the ethos of the experience? And that is my expressions.

Aron: Well, I appreciate your expressions and I wanna express something to you, which is, did you know. Sydney Raz. Yes, kind. Kind that when you're on the highway, when you're driving in a right lane, when the lane starts to become shorter and chunkier, that, that is a deceleration lane for the exit ramp, and it's letting you know you're in a lane that is going to be taking you off the highway.

Oh,

Sidney: that.

Aron: Makes sense. I didn't, you didn't know that? I didn't realize that. It has like a, how did nobody tell us until our thirties? Oh, wait a second. So

Sidney: you're telling me that it's not just to showcase that it's exiting, it's actually so you're supposed to slow

down.

Aron: Well, it's not just that, but it's just pretty much letting you know like, Hey moron, you're in a lane that is about to force you off the highway.

Oh, get ready. That would be, that's what those, that's what it means when the line, not when it's not, not when it's the line's in the center to divide the highway. Yeah. It's on, you know, it's like the dividing lines between the lanes. If that line starts to become these short, chunky blocks, like these little rectangles, that's like the dotted line's.

I mean, I knew like,

Sidney: like I know you've seen it. I've seen it and I know it when I get into that lane, but I didn't know there was a reason. That there, that they're sh I mean, I thought that it was just like a, I mean a signifier, but usually the signs show you on the highway when you're like, Hey, you're in the exit lane.

You look up, you never look down. You just always assume the sign will tell. Wow. Thank you so much, Aron. That really changed my life, and I appreciate that you, you found something I didn't know. I am,

Aron: I'm on Cloud nine. All right, let's keep going. All right, let's do some more car trivia. Do you know about the gas tank arrow?

Yes, I do know

Sidney: about the

Aron: gas tank arrow. Okay. So you know that, so anyone listening, right? Yes. If, if you look at your gas tank, there's little arrow next to your gas tank symbol. Yes. That tell you what side you can fill up your gas on. On that car? Yes. Yes, yes. All right, so that's one for one. Yep. Okay. You know about the FedEx arrow, of

Sidney: course.

The, the arrow inside the FedEx symbol. Yes.

Aron: Yep. Classic. It's not really a life hack, but I just wanted to, to, um, oh. The other producers are saying, you forgot to shame me. How dare you. So go ahead. Of course.

Sidney: I know that. Yeah. Thank you. You

Aron: hasn't mm-hmm. Uh huh. Yep. Thanks. Um, we're gonna, we're gonna clip that by the way, and send that to like, you know, like new media rock stars, like Sydney RA's new podcast calls a producer a peasant on air.

Like, that'll be the clip we pull. I was felt to shame. Get ready. That's why, that's, that's why, that's why we're producing this show, is we wanna get you canceled. Yeah, exactly. Thank you. With with, with other, with other Jewish LA producers. We're gonna get you ruined. Of course. I know that Life hack. Okay.

Okay. Okay. Okay. I got, I got a few more. Did you know about when you boil pasta that there's no reason to have the water, uh, the heat, the flame on so high that the water's rolling that high the whole time? Because all you're doing is evaporating the water. So you could actually just take it down to a low simmer once you've added the noodles and they're gonna cook at the same temperature.

Right? Cuz evaporation is just, once it's reach, its max heat. Now it's letting out the energy more. So you don't have to know.

Sidney: Wait a second. Hang on, hang on, hang on. Wait a second. Okay, wait. I think I got you. Hang on, hang on. Wait. Okay. That's not nice what you just did so. I mean, obviously I just called you a peasant, so I, I I apologize for that cuz now No, bring it, bring it.

I'm ready. That is incredible. So you're telling, okay, so you're, okay, so you're telling me that the rolling boiling water doesn't need to happen because it's already at that temperature and

Aron: it's gonna, once you've added the pasta, once you've added the pasta, all you're doing is evaporating water at a faster rate than necessary.

So that's why. So you can take your

Sidney: flame That's, that. That makes sense. That is crazy. Yep.

Aron: Bring the flame down. Don't, don't go on a low simmer. Just bring it down to It's boiling. It's just

Sidney: boiling gently, and that's why you put the top over it so it cooks maybe.

Aron: I don't know about that, but you put the top on early to get it boiling.

Right. Um, but you don't, but once you're going and you have the pasta, you do not need to keep it cranked up. You're just, so for anyone

Sidney: watching home, just when I find these things out in real time and Erin's seeing this, I get, I get very upset and, and like, like, like

Aron: difficult.

Sidney: It's just, I feel bad, bad.

That's crazy.

Aron: Aron your misery brings me so much joy, cuz I feel like I got two, two of these at you now. Oh my gosh. I got, I got, I got two more. Okay. One is a life hack and one is a trivia that I just wanted to share. Oh,

Sidney: okay.

Aron: Do you know how to stop a sneeze safely? I do not

Sidney: know how to stop a sneeze safely.

And I would love it if you

Aron: told me if you, you're gonna hate it if you tickle the. You if you use the tip of your tongue uhhuh to tickle the roof of your mouth. It feels really uncomfortable, doesn't it? Yeah. That short circuits the need to sneeze very frequently. I love this because we both did it.

Sidney: We both just like, ah, that's great.

I did not know that. I'm gonna try that. I, the, the craziest part is that now I'm like thinking, how do I make this into a video and I gotta make myself sneeze. In a video in order to try

Aron: it. Uh, well that's your problem. But you know, you're also, this is technically a video right now, so. Oh, that's true. You know?

Yeah. Uh, no, but if you, so I actually have this ongoing issue where I'm about to sneeze. I have to go in my head and be like, is it worth the discomfort of tickling the bridge of my mouth, the roof of my mouth, with the tip of my tongue? Cuz it does not feel good. It is not a good feeling.

Sidney: I feel like I just yawned because I was about to sneeze.

So that's

Aron: interesting. So the last one I have here, there you go. Is it's not a life hack, but it's a trivia fact that I was talking about with my dad the other day and I just wanted to add it in here cuz just because we're just doing, it's all trivia in the end. God

Sidney: bless Mr. Korney.

Aron: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Um, no, I, I agree. I just wasn't ready for that, so I don't know what to do with that. Um, yeah. Um, God bless Mr. Korney. Uh, he and I were talking about that. Did you know that mosquitoes. Are pollinators and that's the main ecological thing that they do. What? And so when you are dealing with a mosquito that is sucking your blood, this, this is a, why did I not know until my thirties fact, which is the ones that are sucking your blood are the females that are about to lay eggs.

So they're doing that. The rest of mosquitoes female and all male eat pollen as their main food source. What? And no one told us this. What? Until our thirties. So that was my last one. Huh? Yep. They're pollinators. They are like, they eat like butterflies.

Sidney: What? Wait, so what is our blood used for? It's to

Aron: feed eggs.

It's, uh, it's, it's to, it's uh, it's a reproductive thing. When the, when the female mosquito is creating eggs and is like creating babies in their bodies, they will use our blood to help nurture that process. Whoa. But female mosquitoes that are not, uh, in breeding mode or all male mosquitoes, they're eating motherfucking flo flowers.

Sidney: Wow. That's crazy.

Aron: Okay, I got you. Aron. I got you three Aron.

Sidney: I gotta say, you got me like, what is that,

Aron: like four outta five? Five outta six? I think that was three out of five. But no one's

Sidney: counting. Yeah, no one's. Hey, who's, who's playing the home

Aron: game, so, you know, if you wanna send in your own questions, Eli 30 human-content.com or go to e ela thirty.com.

I don't know, is that how you're gonna be saying it? I'm just practicing the way you're gonna be saying it. Yeah. If,

Sidney: yeah, exactly. I'm gonna be talking. Yeah, just like this. Yeah, e l like 30. Uh, there's

Aron: nothing like good fan engagement. So go ahead. Uh, uh,

Sidney: speaking of which, or sorry, go ahead. Eli thirty@humancontent.com.

Send them in. Ooh, there you

Aron: go. But we, we do have some submissions that we've already been getting. So I'm gonna ask you a few questions from fans. That's true. Okay. I'll do 'em in the be uh, in my NPR voice. Sydnee raskind, what is your favorite Saturday

Sidney: morning cartoon? Thank you so much for asking me, Aron.

Thank you for thanking me. My, my favorite Saturday morning cartoon. Um, so I have a few, actually, my favorite Saturday morning cartoon would probably be, there's recess, which was fantastic back in the day. Ooh, yeah, love recess. Um, and then, you know, just your classic Superman animated series is fantastic.

Um, also there was one. Gargoyles is good. Um, mm-hmm. Uh, ABC Saturday morning, um, had one of the coolest intros ever. So I, I think about that intro every once in a while. It was like an envelope floating through the week and it's like all this stuff and it's like, oh, sudden good Saturday morning, and it's just the coolest.

So, yeah. I think recess is probably one of my

Aron: favorites though. Recess was so good. So good. Did you see the movie that like Oh yeah. Closed up the whole story? Oh yeah. Okay. Um, do I answer these two or is this, this is just you, this is just No, well, I mean, what's your favorite

Sidney: side of the morning cartoon or,

Aron: I was Sonic the Hedgehog on Saturday mornings.

The one, the one with the theme song, uh, you know, Sonic The Hedgehog. Hedgehog, yeah. That one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sonic, he can really, did you know that was the guy who played Urkel?

Sidney: Oh, the guy that played Sonic, or the guy that sang? Good

Aron: question. Uh, Sonic was voiced by, uh, the guy who played.

Sidney: Oh, okay. There you go.

Now we know.

Aron: Uh, all right. I'll ask you one more of this question. Okay. Go. We have a whole bunch of people send, uh, Sydnee. The fans want to know, are you Sydnee Raskin? Are you an over or under toilet paper guy?

Sidney: This is a question that has been asked of me for years. My mother-in-law wanted to know this question before I married the love of my life.

Is that true? Um, well, she did ask me actually, uh, and I was like, this is not important. Let's have dinner. Um, it's very important. Uh, no, it's, uh, I'm an over. Yeah. Good. Yeah, I'm an over, over TP over, I don't it sometimes I see it in, uh, under other people's houses and I just like, I just think I should turn this around but I'm not going to cuz that's not appropriate.

Is your wife an over? She is an over, yeah. Sometimes she doesn't do it and I get upset, but I let it slide because I love her. Mm-hmm.

Aron: How's she gonna feel that you just called her out on,

Sidney: on, uh, your She is going to ask, ask me for that? Yeah. She's gonna ask me to make dinner, uh, a few more times this week, and I'm gonna say, this is, I'm, I'm gonna have a salad and I'm gonna forget.

So, I'm sorry. Um, you gotta go.

Aron: You gotta go. Yeah. Papa's making

Sidney: pasta this week. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm gonna make a whole week of

Aron: pasta. I'm gonna save us 2 cents in water from not over boiling.

Sidney: Right. Exactly. Well, That's it everyone. We did a podcast. That was the first episode ever. And I'm not gonna say it again because you got this far, because I've already been proven that I don't need to say it.

Aron: Like are you like congratulating them for going this, this far?

Sidney: Well, yeah. And I do wanna say thank you, Aron, for making this episode worthwhile of listening. And you know what I mean? Before you go, I know you have human values, you have any other projects, like where can the people find you?

Aron: Um, I think, I think the podcast Human Values is the best thing that I want to plug because you were great on it and I'm really proud of it.

We're off season right now. We're coming back in a couple months, probably in the summer, but I co-host it with Lindsay Hicks and she's, uh, she co-host the Moby Podcast also, but I just, I love her. You, uh, you people should go listen to the episode you were on with us. You were so, you were so great on it.

Um, but yeah, other things I'm working on this network, human content. I mean, we, it, it started off with just me and Lindsay's little podcast and then it has grown into a podcast network way faster than anyone could have, uh, ever dreamed and much like you and your story, uh, it's been crazy having a podcast network that, that like me and my partners and all the creators we work with, it's kinda like every morning we're getting.

More shows and more creators and more stuff. And I wake up and you know, we often are like, Hey, we we're doing this thing, fuck yeah. Like, it's the same, it's the same thing of like, you know, but. I, similar to you, I think working in digital and seeing the ways to do, and also not to do something, um, in this space to keep it authentic.

I don't know. It's been really fun and I am, I'm, and I can say this for the rest of the team too, at our network, like, we're also thrilled that you're doing this show with us. Thank you. I mean, we have so much fun having you on my show, and now that you have your show with us, I mean, we, we, we fucking love you, man.

It's awesome.

Sidney: It's, it's very exciting to be a part of this. I mean, you know, always wanna work with good people and I think human content are the right people. So it's simple, it's easy, it's fun. You're great.

Aron: I love being described as simple. Uh,

Sidney: thanks for letting me. Do you have any sort of like last, uh, final life hacks or tips and tricks that you wanna share with the audience to showcase how much you know?

Aron: I'll just tell everyone, don't force something. Treat your, treat your, this, uh, mantra I like is, you know, be a jigsaw puzzle piece. Look for where you fit. Don't fray the edges trying to force you into anything. You know, it's, uh, look, look for where you belong and, and, uh, keep an open eye and open mind to that.

And, and be realistic with yourself about what relationships, what dynamics, what projects, what things you do in life. Are you forcing the fit? And really just be mindful of what's natural and organic because you, you know what's right for you. Hell yeah. And I think that, Uh, that, that I'd say that that was how we became friends is just, it, it was very easy.

True.

Sidney: True. Well, thank you. So thanks for, yeah. Yeah. That was beautiful. I'm taking that into the rest of my day, into the rest of my life. Thank you, Aron, for being a part of this and, uh, Yeah, we'll see. We'll see you next time. And everyone say, thanks, Aron.

Aron: Well, you'll see me. Yeah, you'll, you'll see me, uh, uh, hiding, hiding in the shadows behind the scenes, but yeah.

Yeah, man, this is gonna be a great show. You're gonna, you're gonna crush it.

Sidney: That's it. We did a podcast. Look at these pit stains. Look at them. I, I just realized that they had them this whole time. They're so, so big. I, I, so that entire episode was very nerve wracking, but I think I did a good job. It was a lot of fun having Aron on. Truly just like the best way to introduce myself to podcasting.

I couldn't think of a better way. I mean, I got really in the weeds there for a second about digital content and media, but I also got to talk about some really cool life hack in my journey of becoming this person that I, I am, which was a lot of fun.
