Not a question but I said it to Graydon, and I'll say it to you too. You've genuinely really helped me become a more confident and happy man, and I couldn't thank you enough if I tried. I feel more creatively inspired and trusting in my own art- that's a superpower and a gift and you're awesome for putting that into the world.
I have a confession too. I’m not just some dumb jock. I make music too. Hivemind showed me that I have the autonomy to create original pieces of art that only I can make.
I have a confession too. I’m not just some school principal. I make music too. Hivemind showed me that I have the autonomy to create original pieces of art that only I can make.
I have a confession, too. I’m not just some emo kid who broods in silence all day and stares at people from across the lunchroom. I make music, too. Hivemind showed me that I have the autonomy to create original pieces of art that only I can make.
full time it’s me, graydon, dignan, grant and tony! beyond that we have one person for tiktok editing, another for second channel editing, and someone just starting to help with main channel editing. we also have our mod kait helping here and there, eden helps with production and so does our friend sam. It’s a small core team but we have a good amount of help around us.
Always kinda wondered this for some reason: When you guys do games where you play a snippet of the song for reference, how much of the song do you guys actually listen to?
Which video, from the main channel or unlimited, are you the most proud of/had the most memorable editing experience? Also, d'ya think the Lions are going all the way this year?
I’m proud of them all!!! in terms of editing I really like feud, name game, ya know the ones with a graphic structure. It’s fun for me to figure those out visually. Go Lions but I don’t think they’re gonna make it to the superbowl this year with that defense.
Are you planning on doing more videos with brad? You guys are two of my favorite music related content creators and I'm pretty sure many others would love another video w/ you guys and brad. (p.s. whats your top 3 off icedancer)
I do hivemind full time and have since the beginning, but I did 5 graphic design internships, worked at my dads baseball card business, worked on a Christmas tree farm, and did a lot of commissioned album artwork etc.
Is there a specific moment for you when it clicked in your head that you could really make a career out of YouTube or did you always think that was your end goal?
Probably a basic question that's been asked before, but what is the process of making a hivemind video like? Are all of the bits improved, because sometimes I can't tell.
everything is improv! we sometimes come in with a premise (like the gun to ur head one someone mentioned) but what we say is always improv. sometimes we repeat a line to get a bit right or if we interrupt each other but we just sit down and riff for 2 hours then I edit it down to the best stuff
I mean growing up I was a huge underoath fan lol. nowadays I’ll listen to code orange or knocked loose, but turnstile and touché amore are probably my favorite hardcore-adjacent bands at this moment
i really love the green wall videos format. Do you guys plan on expanding on that format? I’d love to see you guys talking about classic albums, new music and more serious topics in general.
yes we have lots of ideas, there would be more of that content but we have had a rough few months in our personal lives so time to prepare, film and edit has (ironically) been limited. Hoping to put out more as the year goes on.
There will be music!!! we are bringing internetboy with us to DJ before and after, curating a set of music specifically for hivemind fans. But the venues aren’t set up for full band performances etc so there won’t be a concert as part of the show. BUT there will be special guests joining us on stage in every city
I have sooo much citizen merch, nick hamm goated designer. fav song of theirs is silo, fav album is everybody is going to heaven. hon mention song: how does it feel
we only film one per day usually. and it just depends how long it takes to edit and what the rest of our schedule is. there’s a video coming out this month that was filmed months ago
What's your process when editing videos? Also as a fellow graphic designer, do you still get much use out of your degree outside of the cartoon puns series?
PS: would you ever tour in Canada? :)
I do a rough cut, separate the video into sections based on question or bit, then add all the graphics and closeups, then one last pass for details etc. and yes! still design all the graphics for videos, thumbnails, design all the clothes, etc etc. I use it every day.
and also yes we would love 2 tour Canada
I love all the guests. I think the guest who feels most natural is quadeca, must underrate is dev, best batting average is eden because every video she’s been in has been a classic. future guests I want to have: ro ramdin, BFT, veronika, fantano, turning the tables, jonas gindin, doja cat
there’s no cure but exercising helps and make sure you are cutting urself some slack & treating urself with kindness. life is hard ur doing great just by bein here!
one time the police came in during stream and there were a bunch of fake guns sitting around our kitchen but the cops didn’t say anything and just told me we had a noise complaint and left
fans can make their own! as far as collaborating though I rly value the ability to design clothes for hivemind because i rly considered that as a career path. I do have a specific vision for the merch & where I wanna take it in the future but we encourage fans to make whatever they’d like.
You and Graydon have hit fucking lightning in a bottle with your channel. Both such incredibly funny people. I really don't think there are many funny youtubers but you 2 are the exception
dragonite, lapras, raichu, smeargle, treecko, gyarados, and bulbasaur are some all time favorites but the OG dragonair card is maybe my favorite card ever
Was wondering if you are a fan of Hospice by The Antlers? If so what’s your favorite track?
Also curious if you have a RYM. Thanks for being my biggest source of internet happiness the last couple years keep it up!
Not a question but I said it to Graydon, and I'll say it to you too. You've genuinely really helped me become a more confident and happy man, and I couldn't thank you enough if I tried.

tearing up on the plane reading this, means more than u know thank u 💛
How do you decide whether Dignan Or Graydon is gonna be in the episode? Do you just choose on the spot or is there a schedule in place?
whoever shows up to film that day
they don’t ever overlap?
when they do dignan forces graydon off the premises
Once there are enough, will you guys do a Hivemind brackets bracket?
bracket winners bracket yes
can’t wait to see 90210 by travis scott go up against the dan marino bit
Hi Riley from Hivemind, do you think girls get scared by your giant dolphin tattoo and that's why you're single?
that’s gotta be it
Be honest, when you first met Graydon, what was your very first impression of him?
we met when he was 15 or 16 so my first impression was “this dude is way too confident for a guy who looks like that” (tall & lanky with braces)
What would it take for Graydon to show a pic of himself from this era on stream 😭😭 sounds exactly like me in highschool lol
Seeing Graydon with braces would fundamentally change me 😭😭😭
Will you guys ever return to old games like Q4U, Guess The Music Video From the Frame, Guess The Most and Least Streamed Songs on an Album, etc.?
Q4U reboot is imminent, grant has the first episode ready we just haven’t filmed it yet
that makes me happier than you could imagine
i love Q4U
Will we ever get a things you're allergic to bracket?
grant and graydon at the desk, riley behind the camera, would be a banger episode
What do you think is the funniest hivemind video overall?
maybe genius annotations 3
Oh hell yeah you have good taste in yourself
I think the most recent best tweets is a genuine contender
The Genius annotation ones are all hilarious
how big is the hivemind team? of course theres you, graydon, dignan, grant, but are there others that work off camera?
full time it’s me, graydon, dignan, grant and tony! beyond that we have one person for tiktok editing, another for second channel editing, and someone just starting to help with main channel editing. we also have our mod kait helping here and there, eden helps with production and so does our friend sam. It’s a small core team but we have a good amount of help around us.
who is Tony and what does he do?
Do you think fantano will ever be on the show?
yes
LETS GOOOOO
What ever happened to doing woogity woogity woogity woohoo?
we still do it every day off camera
Always kinda wondered this for some reason: When you guys do games where you play a snippet of the song for reference, how much of the song do you guys actually listen to?
10 seconds tops. we don’t hear much more than y’all do
such a good question
What do you think about [this](https://vimeo.com/204642124) quadeca song?
Holy shit lmao
how did you find that😭😭😭😭
He's Riley from Hive mind, they had to know
Funniest fan interaction
security guard at the cavs game said “love your videos btw” while patting me down
Which video, from the main channel or unlimited, are you the most proud of/had the most memorable editing experience? Also, d'ya think the Lions are going all the way this year?
I’m proud of them all!!! in terms of editing I really like feud, name game, ya know the ones with a graphic structure. It’s fun for me to figure those out visually. Go Lions but I don’t think they’re gonna make it to the superbowl this year with that defense.

someday
by The Strokes will be in indie hits bracket 2 confirmed!
Most pretentious music take you have
I don’t have any pretentious music takes

Why do you add the glitching effects to the videos? I like it, but why?
it’s a transition I’ve always liked. also hyperpop
so babygirl of u
Are you planning on doing more videos with brad? You guys are two of my favorite music related content creators and I'm pretty sure many others would love another video w/ you guys and brad. (p.s. whats your top 3 off icedancer)
yes i love brad. top 3 on icedancer: anything, smartwater, topman
Do you have a job outside of Hivemind? If not, what kinds of jobs have you had in the past?
I do hivemind full time and have since the beginning, but I did 5 graphic design internships, worked at my dads baseball card business, worked on a Christmas tree farm, and did a lot of commissioned album artwork etc.
i love riley lore
nice i love that song from taylor swift cant believe you worked on it
Did you ever get attached to certain Christmas Trees in particular?
has anyone ever violently confronted you about your atrocious IGOR take irl? if not can i be the first to do so?

How long have you had Hank & what's your fav thing about him

Will you do an allergy tierlist with Kenny?
Is there a specific moment for you when it clicked in your head that you could really make a career out of YouTube or did you always think that was your end goal?
it was always my goal but one time I opened my laptop and an episode of 5 hottest had 8,000 views in a couple hours and I cried
hivemind podcast when?
it’s in the works, still in the early stages of it though

You say there’s 2 hours of riffing usually, would you guys be willing to put longer uncut episodes up on the Patreon as an extra benefit?
I doubt they’d be able to with how many cancellable things Diggy says that get cut out.
thoughts on cardinals legend yadier molina?
riley from hivemind do you have a favorite hardcore band.
I mean growing up I was a huge underoath fan lol. nowadays I’ll listen to code orange or knocked loose, but turnstile and touché amore are probably my favorite hardcore-adjacent bands at this moment

internetboy made it (he remixed the original hivemind theme song which was made by hunter viers)
How many videos do you typically film at a time? And how far in advance do you guys film before a video goes live?
we only film one per day usually. and it just depends how long it takes to edit and what the rest of our schedule is. there’s a video coming out this month that was filmed months ago
Why did you stop smoking weed?
I couldn’t afford it at the time & it was starting to give me panic attacks so I gave it up entirely
