-Basically what I'm trying to say is,
if you want to go out with me and you're watching this video,
hit me up on the e-mails, the Twitters,
the Facebooks.
I could be for you. I could be your boom-boom.
You don't know that until you try.
Give it a shot. [ Clicks tongue ]

-Hi. My name is Andre Meadows.
My YouTube channel is Black Nerd Comedy.
Every week, I do a Black Nerd Rant,
where I rant about topical things and nerdy things.
The first video that I made on my channel
that I felt was really important to me was --
It's called Rejected Vlog Ideas.
It was the first time I was like, "Oh,
what's YouTube about?
I'm gonna try this."
So, I did these parodies
of a lot of popular YouTube shows
and people at the time.
That was a lot of fun, and so I just --
That video is, like, special to me 'cause that was,
like, my first YouTube attempt.
[ Laughs ]
Here we go.
Truth.
Okay.
Or dare.
No. Truth. All right.
I determine truth by your -- your own personal feeling.
And sometimes it's not even so much "a true statement."
It's just, you know, the passion you might have behind it.
Some people are very passionate and truthful about wrong stuff.
[ Laughs ]
What's one thing I know for sure?
I know that I am a black nerd.
I know that there's a lot
of things about myself
that I should be proud of,
and I know there's times it's tough
for me to do because sometimes I feel like that
I don't want to say
how I truly feel about, like, the accomplishments
I made 'cause of a fear of being egotistical.
Knowing your truths is one thing,
but expressing them and putting yourself out there,
especially when it's something that you feel is truth
because if someone challenges that,
then you're like, "Whoa, whoa. Wait. Hey.
No, that's real. That's -- That's true to me.
You can't challenge that. That's an actual, legit thing."
So, that would be my thing.
I think mine is being strong enough to express
what I feel truthy about.
[ Laughs ]
I also have a problem saying the word "truth."
That's a truth. I always want to say "troof."
[ Laughs ]
What is love? Whew!
How can I do this without being sappy?
Love is your passion towards some person,
whatever they're good about, whatever they're bad about,
whatever you love about them, whatever you can't stand,
whatever their quirks, their insecurities,
what's great, all that --
you know it all, you know what's great about them,
you know what sucks about them,
but yet you just --
you cannot live without that person.
Sometimes someone can make you just,
like, pissed off.
Like, you're just like, "Ugh!
I want to choke you."
Don't choke anybody.
But you just -- you're like, "I love that person.
I can't -- I can't imagine my life
without that person in it."
When you have somebody like that,
and no matter how they are towards you,
you're just like, "I still need you in my life.
There's still some kind of connection
I feel about you that,
you know, I could live without it,
but at the same time, man, it would be --
it would suck to not have that around.
That's love. Get that person.
Get that person.
I love some cookies and cream ice cream.
Man, I'll tell you what, you just, like, get, like --
especially if they use, like, real Oreos.
You can't deny that love.
What is my life's big question?
Oh, this is gonna be -- this is --
This is gonna be cheesy as hell.
[ Laughs ]
I am curi--
I am curious of how the whole love thing works.
Like, I've -- I've -- I've dated girls.
I've gone out before.
I've had relationships and things like that.
But there's just people that I'll see, like couples,
and I'm just like, "Man."
You can just tell, like, that was it.
Like, they were supposed to be together.
Like, somehow, stars aligned.
Mufasa showed up in the air
and was like, "Boom, there you go, right there."
And that's, like, awesome.
I'm curious, you know, my big question is,
like, how does something like that happen?
Is that supposed to happen for everybody?
Is there, like, certain people that get that and some people
that are in a different side of the pyramid?
I'm just curious 'cause it's just --
it's a fascinating thing for me
'cause there's romance and there's getting it on,
but, like -- like, soul-mate-type love --
like, that's -- that's -- it fascinates me.
I'm fascinated when I see a couple
that's like that.
And, um, I'm just always curious
how that works, always curious how that works out.
