- Oh my god! - Yo!
- Godda-- no! Goddammit!
- When the impostor is sus, oh my gosh!
- Oh. (sing-song) Among Us. - Valkyrae is one of the BEST.
- (Valkyrae) We're back. - You-- wait, wait!
Is this the one I think it is? Is this the babushka one?
- (player) I know you like killing, right?
- (Valkyrae) Mm-hmm. - (Sykkuno) If you see someone
you wanna kill, just yell out their name,
and I'll do it for you. - (Valkyrae) Wait, really?
(screams) - It is!
- Oh, I love this so much! Oh, golly gee willikers.
- When the impostor is sus. - (laughs)
- (Valkyrae) Yeah, yeah. Okay, it's a boy. It's a boy.
It's a boy. Okay, okay. - If it weren't for them,
the only people playing would be teachers
just learning about it in school. - (Valkyrae) Okay.
- (Sykkuno) Hey, look. It's John.
- (Valkyrae) Oh, hey, John! - (Masayoshi) Hey. 'Sup?
- (Valkyrae) Babushka! - (Sykkuno) Oh.
- (Valkyrae gasps) NO! What the [censored]?! WHY?!
Why did he do that to me? - (Masayoshi) Are you kidding me?
- They're the only reason Among Us is still a thing.
Let's be honest. I feel like a lot Offline people
were around. That's what their friend group's called,
Offline TV and Friends. But I feel like Valkyrae
was a new edition that came out pretty recently.
I never knew her before quarantine started,
and then she just (snaps) blew up like crazy.
- (FBE) How do you think Valkyrae grew her audience so fast?
- Well, overall, I think herself, her personality that she brings.
Also, the fact that she does so many collabs with so many
different people, like with Offline TV,
Ludwig, Corpse, and Sykkuno, that whole giant group, I'd say.
They make great content together. - Yeah, she has a really cool
personality and she's also playing the biggest game of this year
and the end of last year. And so, I think a combination
of that just helped her boom. - Hey, guys. It's Sierra,

of the video, we just wanted to take a second really quickly

All right, guys. Back to the episode.
- (FBE) Valkyrae actually signed with 100 Thieves
and now Drake and Justin Bieber's manager,
Scooter Braun, are part owners.
So, you know, they're going all out. And I'm just gonna show you
what I mean by them going all out for their creators.
- (Nadeshot) We have officially moved in to a brand new home,
brand new estate. - (Valkyrae) Yeah,
it's quite the upgrade. This is my room!
This is quite quaint and cute. - That's sick that they go all out
for these people. - (Valkyrae) I have stuff over here.
I have my piano. - Oh, yeah.
- (Valkyrae) This is my spare bed. - (Nadeshot) It's a prison bed.
- (Valkyrae) This is not a prison! In case I wanna wake up early
or stay up late, I have a bed here if I wanna stay here,
'cause I have another place that's five minutes away.
So, this is where I do all of the work stuff.
- Yeah, but what do you do with that many screens?
- I use three monitors myself when I stream, so it's pretty useful.
- (Valkyrae) Small bathroom over here. And I really like it.
But it's the perfect, perfect space. - Man, the marble, the black interior.
Ooh. So nice. - (FBE) What do you guys think
about content houses? - I think it's a great space
for people to collab. It brings out a different kind
of energy that you can't get just through online,
like via Zoom and all. But if you guys are all
in the same space, sharing ideas,
I think it could be a really great idea.
And that's how people end up growing so much.
- I think it's fun when it's not TikTok,
because if you're livestreaming, it makes sense to have a house
with a bunch of people who do overall the same sort
of livestreaming thing, where you need other people
in other rooms. It's a better dynamic
when it comes to houses like that with, say, even 100 Thieves,
Offline TV being one of the biggest. It's fun that way. It's better.
TikTok isn't known for dances, but the popular people on it
do dances, and that's their main demographic.
Nothing wrong with that. It's just most people,
when they wanna be entertained, they don't watch that sort of stuff.
But streaming is a whole different issue.
Streaming is a lot better in general. It's different content.
You do different things. You have a lot more fun.
- (FBE) So, you've seen Valkyrae's room
in the 100 Thieves content house. But she also vlogs
on her main channel, and we're gonna take a look
at a small compilation of her vlogs that also include an apartment tour.
- (Valkyrae) Hello. Hi. I need to do this really quickly,
because I told you guys I was gonna do an apartment tour.
I'm a mess! I just-- okay, I'm just gonna get right into it.
Okay, so here is the front door. As you can come inside--
and this is what you see. There's the hallway.
Here's a bunch of my stuff that I bring to the 100 Thieves house.
And this is the master bedroom. A walk-in closet,
which is full of Michael's stuff, because all of my stuff
is at the 100 Thieves House. So, we pretty much live
five minutes away from the 100 Thieves content house.
So, my office and all of my stuff is over there.
That's why it's pretty empty here. - (woman) Rae sits in this chair.
- (man) Yeah. - (woman) And then,
we pick up the chair. - (Valkyrae and man laugh)
- (man) So, show us how flexible you'll be
to pull your head back for this. - (woman) Oh, no.
- (man) Oh! Wait. It went-- - (woman) The problem with that
is at your neck. (laughs) - (man) What's that--
- (Valkyrae) I already signed my life away.
- (man) No, but you-- no, no, no.
- I like that she gets nice and personal with her fans.
It's not all just about the gaming. She also has a different aspect
to her content. - I think that's definitely why people
are enjoying gaming a lot right now.
You get to see more of the person themselves
instead of just how good they are at video games,
you know what I mean? - Look, if you're really good
at a game, go for it. Don't talk. Just play the game.
People wanna see it for that. But you have to be entertaining,
out of the box, something that people haven't seen before.
That's why people like Valkyrae, like Ludwig,
have really blown up quite recently. - (FBE) Do you think that
since she has a great personality, that's why her vlogs do so well?
Most people wanna stick to one niche,
but she continues to post a variety of content.
Do you think that's been working for her?
And do you think it's her personality that makes her vlogs do so well?
- She has a lot to offer. People wanna watch her
like everyone has said. Her personality's super shining.
Biggest thing, to have a great, loud personality
when you're playing. And I think stepping away
from gaming just a little bit and involving her outside life
to YouTube and all her fans, that can help them connect
and enjoy her content even more. - She's also genuinely good
at the games that she plays. If she was horrible
but she only had a good personality, she could just make vlogs
if she wanted to. But it's nice to see somebody
who has a great personality, enjoys the games that they're playing,
and is actually good at them. - (FBE) Finally, we have
one more series that Valkyrae made
called Reddit Reactions. - Any Twitch streamer
going through their Reddit is amazing.
But Valkyrae's stuff? Hilarious.
- (Valkyrae) "Let's solve this with science."
- Oh, yeah. She is pretty short. - Oh, yeah. She's like--
- Yeah. - The joke is like
she's like 4-foot-something, but she's actually 5-foot-something.
- You sure she's not 3 foot? - What the heck?!
I don't-- how do you know this? "Lines up perfectly
with what Celine says." We're gonna get a measuring tape,
and I will remeasure. Are you kidding me?!
Are you kidding me?! "BrookeAB height,
about 5 foot, 2 inches." No way I'm 5'1".
I just don't think I am. And look, she's leaning.
Her head's tilting. This is not accurate measurements!
You guys are posting your quote, unquote, "proof."
Look at this line! It's not even straight! The audacity!
"Rae should measure herself on stream to settle this."
Yes, I will. I bought this just for this moment.
(laughs)
- (woman) Holy [censored]. - (laughs)
- (laughs) - Oh my god.
Whenever it comes to a popular streamer
and they lie about their height, people really wanna know
how tall they are. It says 4'9".
I'm guessing 3'3". - A few years ago,
we did this thing at-- Jaxon, you were there, I think,
at the YouTube thing. We hosted a meet and greet.
Everyone came up to us, and they were like,
"You are so much shorter than we thought you guys would be."
But you have no perception of how tall we are.
We are in this little box for you guys.
We're sitting down. And you're just like,
"I don't know how tall he is." - Yeah, we're sitting down.
- Yeah, I mean, people are interested for that.
- I'm 6'4". Nobody guesses that! I mean...
- (FBE) Before we go, we mentioned how Valkyrae
really stepped into her moment in 2020.
One of you guys said how she actually won
Content Creator of the Year. And she also is the most viewed
female streamer of 2020 as well. Not only did she hit one million
in 2020 and two million in 2020, but that's when she reached
her three million subscriber milestone on YouTube, so she did all that
in one year. What do you think it is
just about her as a whole, like her personality, her content?
What about her exploded her like that? Why do you think she just had
her best year? - I think personally, her personality
is so great for streaming. It really fits her.
Her streaming on Twitch during quarantine,
everyone's stuck inside, it's great.
Then putting her VODs and clips onto YouTube, making more views there.
Because people are watching over there,
it moves back to Twitch, getting her more views,
more subscriptions, more followers. Overall, it's just a great system
for Valkyrae. It just so happens to work
as well as her amazing personality. It just all fits together.
- Jax, she's not on Twitch anymore. - Godda-- oh my god! (laughs)
Oh! - I love seeing her 900 IQ moments
on my YouTube recommended. - (FBE) Is there anything you would
like to say to Valkyrae? - Keep doing what you're doing, girl.
- Valkyrae, if you are watching this, I love you so much.
- Valkyrae, seriously, the growth you made in 2020
and going into 2021 and overall just an amazing personality,
you've made a great name for yourself.
I just wanna say keep up the great work. You're fantastic.
