The production companies and some of the networks reached out as well. I don't really know what triggered it, but I think what happened over time is we started to create its own fanbase [for the videos]. It's been a long process to get this TV show ["This Is Mike Stud"] right, but I'm glad we did it.

I basically try not to waste any lines in any of my songs, and I think the witty phrases and funny lyrics I have bring a smarter sound to college hip-hop.

It was actually the production group that ended up producing the show for us...Every musician, especially in the hip-hop community, you always make these show recaps or vlogs, and essentially what "Touring's Boring" was is, we tried to make our vlogs interesting and almost more like a TV show. That's how we got discovered by TV.

I think there's a certain stigma that comes with being a white rapper and having a show.

I'm legitimately having more fun doing music, but at the same time I worked my whole life for baseball. If I had to pick, I would probably pick music. I just connect more with the fact that other people connect with that I'm doing so much. It's a much cooler thing than being good at sports.

My music started out as a complete joke, so really all I was doing was going for witty punchlines to make all of my buddies laugh.
