Out of 6,000 applicants, content creators Kevin and Austin were selected by Fox Sports and Indeed to receive $50,000 to sit in a glass box in Times Square and watch every single match of the FIFA World Cup.

In this episode, the duo join Jake and Tyler to discuss their complete creative freedom, surviving 14-hour days inside the box, and whether they fear getting typecast in their careers moving forward. Afterward, Tyler and Jake break down the true marketing ROI of the viral campaign and address any pushback regarding monetizing creator content.
