in april 2015, haynes and his close friend daren vongirdner started "she didn't text back", a podcast discussing relationships, comedy, music and their everyday lives. the two talked about their careers, life events and gave advice to fans who sent emails and snapchats weekly. they'd also often break out into impromptu freestyles. haynes also performed poetry slams or improvised vocal visuals. vongirdner is an aspiring musician going by the name dvg. the two would discuss dvg's musical career along with music in general and regularly express their respect for artists such as drake and kanye. they also held several live she didn't text back shows and released the recordings as podcasts. haynes has also been involved with several music videos shot for dvg including "make them work", "flip a switch". haynes was the director of photography on "trade it up" and "past due", and directed "june 5th". after releasing the 56th episode of their podcast "will talks to hillary clinton #56" the podcast abruptly stopped releasing and the hosts later went on to say "she didn't text back" was on an "indefinite hiatus".this was due to, as the hosts would later describe, a breakdown in the friendship between the two hosts on which the podcast relied. however "she didn't text back" returned by surprise on 28 august 2017 for a second season with the original hosts reunited and following a similar format to the first season but more heavily focused on reflection and on their lives.
