Ep 609 - Mega Heider (feat. Corey Heider & Nate Marshall)

•Apr 15, 20264 days agoSummary
Matt and Shane host guests Corey Heider and Nate Marshall for an extended conversation covering Corey's journey from homelessness and obesity to becoming a viral content creator documenting abandoned and hoarded houses. The episode blends crude humor with genuine life stories, including Corey's near-fatal car accident at age 14 and his transition from desk jobs to blue-collar contracting work that led to social media success.
Insights
- Trauma and adversity can be reframed as content and community connection when channeled through authentic storytelling and humor rather than suppression
- Viral success on social media increasingly comes from niche, unfiltered documentation of real-world problems (hoarding, abandonment, decay) rather than polished content
- Blue-collar and trades work represents an underexplored content category with massive engagement potential, especially when paired with personality-driven narrative
- Audience building on platforms like Instagram and Facebook can happen accidentally and organically, with algorithmic success sometimes outpacing creator intentionality
- Monetization anxiety and imposter syndrome are significant barriers for creators with working-class backgrounds, even when they've achieved measurable success

That's what you guys are Pretty rough pretty yeah, dude. I wish we did boss on some level, but it's not good I was pretty kind of boss to be like nah look like this is your guys identity. We figured it out for you We're not going to learn the rest I wish if there was anything we could have culturally appropriated From the Native Americans that have been the naming system. We brought that over from europe, bro. Come on. I want to be running dog I'm with you on that bro. Wouldn't that be great? Nighthawk Nighthawk senior That's my grandpa crazy squirrel. You'd love them Yeah, their naming system was I'll give you that it was it was sick I'm I'm for I you know nobody's with me on this one, but I'm all about a Native American president Yeah, let's go everyone. We've never had a Native American president I feel like he would turn on the whites you guys will be letting it happen What are you talking about after after what y'all did to them? You think they're not quietly holding a grudge? Let's open up this. I didn't do anything I know I know now, but historically True. They got the little grudge in the back there just on those I was driving around phoenix before and like just the parts where they put your people look like Shit out there. It is not good Like you hit like green and then it's just you just it just turns back into the desert as soon as you hit the Reservation, that's what you get. They got some bomb lands for sure Yeah, dude. I was in the wind river just like he said bro wind river mountains in Somewhere, Wyoming, montana. I don't know. I was driving. Yeah pay attention Um And you came up and like he said bro. It was green mountains beautiful White people landed and then it was just barren desert and like welcome to the Indian reservation And right i'm from uh, this little town pensable I'll pay like a near Pittsburgh and I was on this Indian reservation right nothing around Can we three hours and 10 minutes to drive there through nothing and I go in this little steak Little convenience store monument gas station. Everything's dusty bro. I pull off this thing is Dalalo Fucking and I was like that's from my hometown. I was like, there's no way I didn't know that was a national thing And I looked and I was like, no made in jennet, Pennsylvania. I was like Oh, what truck came out here, bro? What is Dalalo? It's Dalalo is like a little italian market in a fucking suburb of Pennsylvania like I don't even know it's not Pittsburgh. It's not greensburg Like there's I don't think there's anything I could say that and it made it all the way out to the res brother Brother in wyoming. I'm like, how how'd you get out here little guy? I just want to take him back home I'll take you back Come back nobody talks about the Native Americans ever it's like it's they get like the littlest bit of lip service at like liberal colleges every now and again That's also kind of like a weird thing but just we're gonna acknowledge the fact of this land. Anyway, here's what we're building here It's gonna be awesome. You guys get casinos. Let's get it Yeah, I'm dude. The Native American president could be sick. Yeah could be dude fucking the peace pipe in the oval office I mean that would honestly be the best thing. You know, awesome. She's sitting down with zz and pinging smoking a peace pipe Dude, it would be so fucking especially I I would like to and I don't want to get political here But I would like to get away from uh having like 87 year olds as the president. Yeah You can't have like a guy's cognitive decline. We need JFK to Tokyo drift a guy's got not much time left on here just making all our decisions. No, dude We need yeah, we need I would say 50 is like the perfect age. Can I kind of have one more counter argument against the Native Americans? They have historically taken so many L's. I don't know if you don't know if you put them in We just went through a series of them taking L Um, she's thinking about his country. Okay. Okay. Are you ready for this? So let's look at the other side of the coin. Okay, so if you've taken every L possible You've learned every fucking way to not do that shit again. That's how I got where I am today Yeah, it's up. It's up. True. True. I learned every lesson the hard mother fucking way. You're making a good point What's the hardest lesson you ever learned? Oh my god, dude. Look both ways before you cross that mother fucking road. Oh, yeah, you got hit by a car cousin What kind of car uh dodge shadow 93 es trim How fast was it go I mean 45 miles an hour In a 25 cousin. Oh, I was 315 pounds at 13 years old while my dad stolen trek mountain bike. I stole it from him. He didn't steal it Yeah, it was rightfully. He has I had no fucking right taking it So let me bust this story down Got time. Let me bust this story down. Okay. So your boy was at home skipping school We're not supposed to be doing it and his dad's bike was in the basement the nicest possession in the hider household Not ever supposed to be touched by me who broke every fucking thing he ever touched ever I was a nightmare. They called me bits and pieces. I don't even think my mom knew my name She just called me bits and pieces Because that's all the fuck I left And so okay, so I went down to the basement. I stole my dad's bike. It had a digital speedometer. It's important for later in the story foreshadowing So I take it I I dip off. I'm going to go to my boy Brandon's house. I'm a flex on the neighborhood, right? Him pimp. Pimp hooray So I go down and I it's all downhill. So at 315 pounds on a bike downhill. It's an easy game, dude I could I didn't even touch the sidewalk cut. So I get down there. I'm like, yo, look at this bike. It's tight, right? He's like, yeah, good point. Let's go on a bike ride or boy cj. He just got hit by a car on his bicycle We should go visit him. He's in danger. Okay, and I was like That does seem nice, but that's all downhill and then I'm gonna have to pedal all up to get home And it's like really already pedaled down here to get here. I was like, oh, all right. Fuck it, right? Let's do it Let's take them on for the team. Yeah, so I went down visited cj, right? His mom is in the alley telling the story height, bro. We're in johns town. She ghetto. We're height She hit my baby say she only doing 25 mile an hour. I know she wasn't doing no 25 mile an hour She came down to you. Bam. She's like, look at my baby, dude cj 68 pounds soaking wet with a pocket full of change come out call her bone, but bro He looked like fucking tiny tim fucked up. He was ruined dude ruined. So I was like, damn. All right. That ain't good So I was like flex. I got the speedometer on my bike right now I'm gonna come down past 25 mile an hour, right? It's like oh, you're like check it exhibit it You're like, let's get this You can make this boy was on a mountain bike Yeah, so I'm gonna come down to 25 and you gauge right with your eye Calculated eye if that was this is worth my life. Okay, so I go up the hill, right? No, I stretch right and I remember the calves. I got these calves, right? You got crazy So calves are fucking even bodybuilder cam. Thank you. I appreciate it. So Even at like 13 years old. I had about 400 450 pound feet of torque. Okay, so I put that bike in 37th gear straight on When I was again started bro on this downhill, right and I'm looking 21 22 next thing you know Nothing bro. All I hear is glass shatter Entire screech in that order and that's important because she didn't hit the brakes Until after this pack was done because she was well, she wasn't on her phone. We didn't have phones back there But anyway, so she hit right. Okay. And let me tell it right here. So I actually what happened was the bike It was an inferred stop sign. She was doing 45. I was doing 22 and um You probably hit 23 by that Bro, I was locked into the speedometer. I did not even look ahead of me 100% Yeah, so she came and it could have been this which me on the bike her It could have been this where she hit me But it actually happened like this where I just clipped her fender as she was going And it sent me over her hood and then her windshield and roof caught my 315 pound supple child body Okay bent the whole safety cage back and at which point she said, oh fucking shit, right because my ass is in her mouth So Yeah, so she slams the brakes. Okay, and I go yee yee, right? 28 feet through the air another 45 on my left ass cheek And the only reason I know is because it's mostly missing That could be an afterthought if you want to look at that So um a fly right and I didn't I'm so stubborn. I didn't even know what the fuck happened So I go to sit up and like what the fuck and I look over shoes off Brother that happened. Hold on one second Let it happen So I sit up. I'm like, oh shit. God damn, right? And I see a core antenna Down the road, but I'm keeping up with the motherfucker Right, I'm like, oh, that's wild and crazy Okay, I'm moving and then I feel the inertia like you stop it to stop late and I'm looking I'm like I'm sitting in the middle of the fucking street. This is Dangerous, so I go to get up right and I go fat of shit Fat of shit So I go to roll and get up in my little three stage motion that you do Right when you ain't got the upper body strength And um and I go to step off the road and it felt like I step in a pothole and I'm like Johnstown City works Damn it and I look down and it just looks like my shoes off But it's it's still attached to my foot and my calf is just on the ground And my brain says shut it down and started back up something's wrong. So I Bam straight back down, right? And so when I went down I hit my head and all that so I'm out And the whole neighborhood's holding me down. They're like, oh my god, right and they're freaking out, bro And I come to and I'm like branding because that's about my boy. I came with that's the first thing I brand and brand and my 14 year old friend. He can't even look at me, bro He's like he's dying. I can't look at my homie like that cousin Right because what I didn't know is there is a pool of blood Puddling around my waist so your ass. Well, that's I know that now But at the time they just thought my inner organs busted like a water balloon and was leaking out of the closest hole It could find would just happen to be my asshole. Yeah, so everyone's like man dead man walking You know what I mean? They're like, bro, don't move. Don't move. So long story short, they sent me to the hospital They they well, they said we're gonna have to catheterize you and I was like, listen, I'm christian My grandma would not like that We can't be doing that. I don't know what medically. Hey if that will help but I just don't they're like, no We're gonna stick a tube in your dick. I was like, can I be catholic? Is that still on the table? I will be catholic if that's still on the table and they're like, no, we just got a bam so bro Yeah, the point and I was the crazy part. Yeah Like she was starting to get along over dude Bro, she's like hold up. Hold up. Hold up. Okay. We'll hit the choke hold up Bang boy. I was like damn Ah, I don't give you nothing for the day or a few. Dude, it sucked the bed sheet up my ass, bro It had so much fucking momentum, bro. It was insane. How long was the recovery?

Oh, oh very important part See this one is not even significant to me. The whole house is a canyon of horde The only thing to walk through is a canyon and it is eye fucking level trash And then you start getting down and it starts getting wetter and wetter and wetter until it turns into dirt Because it's been there so long that you know, this is centigrade. It's just the paper and everything turns back into dirt So i'm like walking through this. I'm like, this is crazy and like I said, it's fucking eye level, dude And I get into the living room and the lights are on it's warm. It's weird But again, you don't assume somebody's fucking in here, dude Like it's so easy for me to like disassociate that somebody lives like that but So this fucking chihuahua fucking yorkie mix bro starts just like Simba in the lion king like prouncing over these fucking canyon towards me barking And I'm like, this motherfucker's eye level like the playing field has been leveled here This is not good for me.

Yeah, so I'm like, man, that's something to think about we'll put that on the back So I'm just gonna keep doing my desk job and trying to figure out why I'm so sad Yeah, right and then the ultimate happened, right my uh, the pandemic happened in this order, bro pandemic happened I almost died in traffic on the way home from getting fired for my job And then as I got home, I got a whole new lease on life made dinner for my wife And she got home and divorced me. Oh and then the next day I wake up and I'm like, okay I don't have a job. I have a whole new lease on life and I'm out of wife What does your boy do? Right and I was like, hmm, let's collect this. I love what pandemic money, right? I'm schizophrenic. I'm not gonna lie, bro. I never know who's showing up for dinner I'm sure well the new lease on life with the fire firing the new lease on life nice sudden divorce. That's like, whoa It within 12 hours, dude. Bing bang, Bing Bing bang and then pandemic. Yeah, so I literally got rebirth I was I woke up the next morning with placenta on me. I was like, this is I've never had such a tangible moment. Okay. Yeah Let's cook dog And getting up for like a couple years there. Well, what was the question? So you that and you rode that right into the pandemic Well that was the pandemic. I got fired because of the pandemic. Hey, like they make me like all like it was all Rabbit Fire bro. So Actually, I got laid off. I was going home from a layoff I got it specified because if anyone's listening like he didn't get fired that day I was going home from a layoff They laid me off and then the guy who laid me off got fired and they never brought me back Yeah, so call that what the fuck you want to call it But I got a technicality. Okay if anyone wants out Just cut an entire branch off the plant there. Just like yeah, and I was dangling on a security rope attached So, okay, bye. So then I wrote out that pandemic money, right? Cause your boy Donny was flapping me with them $600 stimmies. And I was getting unemployment and I was getting, you know, Corey Hiders from the street monies. So your boy was, I was like, I'm making more money. You're killing it. Unemployed and divorced. Yeah. This is a fucking okay. Who knew? I know an upstroke when I see one, you know? So I wrote that out and then I got bored, right? Cause I was like, okay, well, this is not having a job. It's crazier than a desk job. It's weird. It is. Especially if you're used to having a job, when you stop having a job, it's a fucking weird feeling. I crave structured activity, bro. Yeah. Hard. I'm like waking up with nothing to do. It's going to get fucked up quick. It gets fucked up quick. When you're cranking your hog by 9 30 in the morning, you're like, damn, nothing's just only downhill from here. Yeah. That's when you start doing the darker corners of Craig's whip. You want to do human trafficking? Look at my shit too. You know what we want to do? You know, I don't know. Dark way of I hurts fun this time of year. So, so my boy calls me, right? And all those video, well, the videos I post, right? And the shit that you know, I know what he does. And he's like, why don't you come work with me? And I was like, no. I was like, that's when you say you're bored. And I'm almost like, wash the dishes. Like, that's not fun. Yeah. That's not what I meant. He's like, just come on, dude, I need help. So I just started helping him. And then I fell in love with it. And then you become normalized that shit. And I was like, damn it. I'm an outside cat this whole time. I was an indoor cat. That's crazy. You didn't have any like instruction experience before that. No, what? No, I will. I would fuck around on my own accord, building cars and fucking. So you're at your hand. Oh, yeah. Oh, and dude, when I was a kid, I could build a bong out of anything by 12 years old. I ripped apart literally the entire radio shack catalog and rebuild it at one point. That's just what I did as a kid. Because I figured out, bro, at five years old, this blows my mind. I think this is the peak of my whole peakingness. At five years old, bro, I figured out how an internal combustion engine worked. Because I couldn't figure out how the tire spin. I was like, if the tire spins, it's something's got to spin to spin that. And then something's got to spin to spin that. And then something's got to spin to spin that. But eventually it's got to be a reciprocating motion. So how do you turn a reciprocating motion into a spinning motion? And then I had this toy steam train that had the wheel with the. And I looked at turn the reciprocating into. I was like, I bet that's it. And that's literally how an engine works. Now, if I was Japanese, I would have figured out the Wankel rotary engine right there on the spot. But I didn't. I didn't. I did it. So, you know, there's always a first place. I wish I had that. Because I remember being like a little boy and I was like, I had the weed whacker. And I like took it apart to do something. And I was like, I'm going to take it apart. This is my seminal moment of becoming like a mechanical minded man. I took the weed whacker apart and just was like, fuck. It's called my dad. I was like, oh, dad, the weed whacker's kind of messed up. The fuck's going on with it? I don't know. Whole thing. I was trying to add the string and it got all fucked up. He's like, what the fuck? Just in multiple pieces. You never try to really fix anything ever since. Oh, it's always mechanical. And then people were like, you're likable. I was like, OK, I'll lean into that. Because I've never, ever had confidence in every. I've literally never had confidence in anything I've ever done. And if, you know, like this whole Instagram thing, it started as a Snapchat. So I used to send my friends. And they're like, post that shit, dude. You're killing it. Like this is funny. I'm the only one that sees it. You know what I mean? It's crazy. And then if you ever look, my Instagram handle is Hider Corey. Like I had to look myself up in the phone book. Like I didn't know my fucking name. And that's because the Instagram was an accident, bro. I was working at a gas station with my fat, sweaty leg. And it pocketed out because I was like on Facebook and I put it in there and it like opened Instagram, started Instagram automatically from Facebook. Like I clicked things with my leg and I pulled it out of my pocket and Hider Corey Instagram was like, you know, like what the fuck is that? Whoa. And I just canceled it and looked out and I never opened it again for five, six years. And then boy was like, yo, start posting that shit. And I opened Instagram Hider Corey. And I was like, let's do it. I've thought about changing my name so many times, but I was like, I just imagined waking up with zero followers and like, was it worth it? Or should I just been Hider Corey? It's not a lot. I'm not wrong, but all right. Well, dude, man, can't thank you enough, dude. Yeah, we did it. We did it. I knew it would be fucking rad. We got to fucking have it. Let's go chill. Yeah. Let's go chill. Let's go walk the streets. We're going to fuck this place up. Dude, thank you, man. Yeah, just going. What is it? Hider Corey. Hider Corey, blue collar Corey, Corey mega Hider. That's on Facebook. That's my own personal Facebook because Instagram was like, you know, start a Facebook. And I was like, I have a Facebook. So I grew my own personal Facebook with like all the pictures that I didn't want to have in social media and all that. I was like, fuck it. We'll just grow it. And I grew it to 80,000. They're like, oh, we met a page and on a profile. I was like, you piece of shit. Fuck. So that's why, yeah, dude, that's why I grew that page, blue collar Corey. And bro, I killed it there two months. At first month, I had 130 million views. That's crazy. It's awesome. For just being a fucking dickwad from the hood. That's crazy. That's insane. That is awesome. Literally. When I get to monetize, you got to sell like a t-shirt or something. I know. That's what we're working on it. I think there's a lot of avenues. I think, honestly, me and no boys are, I think Phillip, your boy from Rough House, are going to get on. Nice. Yeah. I think we're going to get on. So I got to do it. I'm just a, it's really, I don't want me to get down on it, but it's really hard for me to place a bet on myself. Yeah. Like legit. Like it's just so instilled in my DNA. Like, bro, your last place, just make do with it. You know what I mean? Like it's crazy. And I don't know what amount of therapy or something can change that. And if it does, what if I'm not funny anymore? You know what I mean? Like what if, because you know how trauma takes it, right? We've, I'm sure you've experienced trauma. I know you've had a fucking job. No. No. No. No. No, I think you just, I would just rock it. I would just keep rocking it. Yeah. Just let it rip. Yeah. Let it rip. Don't second guess yourself. I know what you mean. It feels weird. It's tough. It's just, it feels cocky. I've never been cocky to pick up animals. And the thing is too is like, well, the fuck it, you know, you know how to do it. If it doesn't work out, you're like, there's no back to back to square one. Risk free. Yeah. That's why I just like never quit working or like, you know, or never like leaned into it or went to like, I do stand up every once in a while, but the standup scene in Pittsburgh is crazy. Yeah. Dude, I would like, I'd be like, I think this is like a meeting. I think a meeting's funnier than this. Yeah. They're open like comedy is pretty sad as it gets. That's, you know, that's one of the underworlds. We mentioned desk, sitting desk jobs. That's an underworld. Open. Standup problem likes are an absolute underworld. It was crazy. I was talking to this one guy. I was like, I was like, so like, we were talking, he's like, oh, I'm not even funny. And I was like, you're not funny. I was like, you're going to do stand up. And he's like, yeah, I just, you know, I think some of these people, bro, they have a horrible social anxiety and it's like cutting themselves like self harm. You know what I mean? That's their, I'm going to go up on stage and just fucking bomb. Oh, dude, and everyone's going to hate me. It's going to be that social anxiety that I fear in my head, but I'm going to live it real. And that the end is going to be over. It's going to be the coming probably. You know what I mean? Just like the people that hurt themselves. Yeah. Or people do weird things. It's just like fucking. It's yeah, it's fucked up. Holy me, I'm going to come. I mean, that'd be kind of sick. If that worked, that'd be awesome. Yeah, I mean, there's a. I wish I came out for a bomb. Yeah. Well, new new set. Well, dude, thank you so much. Certainly. Hell yeah. Thank you. I appreciate it for this man. Dude rocked. I feel like this is a monumental moment. Dude, this is going to be on my tombstone. I'm so excited. Dude, thank you. Yes, sir. I'm going to go pee. Thank you. I never know what we're done. Are we done?
